It is a good live sheet just as it ought to be. The Advertiser people have been in business long enough h t o make it t such If the Advertiser and the,%ree. Press joined forces occasionally in t stead of fighting each other all the time there would, be more accomplish ed fox the city of London; and i1 would not detract from the general interest of the papers. A change has been made in the Municipal Act regarding procedure, at the Polls. Two statements were to be prepared, by the Deputy Re- turning Officer, instead of one, as at- tached to the Poll Book, and the other placed M an envelope and handed to the Clerk of the Municipality along Witt- the Ballot Box. When the box is received by th,e clerk, he is not to open it, as in the, past, but is required. to place his seal upon, it, keeping the papers, etc., therein until required for a recount or until the time for destroy ing the same arrives: The damage occasioned by forest fires in Canada during the past sea- son was probably the lowest on re- cord. On Dominion Crown Lands in the west the area burnt over was not greater than two one -hundredths of - one per cent of the total area under protective patrol, and similar low los- sea arc reported by the fire -wardens of British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec and the Maritime Proviinces. Thus it would seem a mistake to place a high- er fire risk on forest property thanon town and city property, for even un- der the present methods of forest pro tecrion, which are fax below their highest practicable efficiency, the loss from fire represents a smaller per- centage of the total wealth of the forest property thark it does of prop- erty in settled communities.
