Don’t Start Fires

In the southern part of the
province a ‘number of logging
camps have closed down for the

|summer months while the fire

risk is heaviest. -Other camps
start work at four o’clock in the
morning and lay off. at noon,
since the greatest risk is during
the afternoon, when the humidity|

is lowest,

Fortunately, in the northern
part of the province there was a
good deal of rain in the:spring,
and since then the vegetation has

| kept the risk from fire particular-

ly low, although there is great
danger now followiug the hot,
dry spell of the past two weeks
or more, Campers, picnic par-
ties, hikers and others who go
into or through the woods must
be careful with matches, cigar-
ettes, and camp fires, Une care-
less act can destroy years of
work for many men,

The season’s best joke—Van-
couver Liberals invited Hon. W.
L. MacKenzie King to be a candi-
date against Hon. H. H. Stevens
in Vancouver Centre,

Whether or not the Governor-
General acted ¢ constitutionally has
about blown over. The people of
Canada got sick of it. -

If the coming election is any-
thing like as warm as the wea-
ther last week it will be some
warm baby.  ~

Hon. Dr. MeLean. proposes a
tax on gross revenue rather than
on personal property. It is easier
to get at the progs reyenue than
the value of" personal property, |
especially the non- producing pro-
perty. :

We are not bragging, but we
wish to remark that the northern
interior has thus far been with-
out a forest fire to speak of” this
season.
