As the summer progresses, we shall probably see the smoke of forest fires over on Vancouver Island and on the mainland. There will be days, too, when the smoke of conflagrations miles sway in the Interior will be borne to us here by the wind. These conditions occur regularly every year, and by reason of this have become almost a commonpiace. And yet it is a fact that the great majority of forest fires are caused by carelessness on the part of campers or others who are hiking through the woods. True a bolt of lightning or the constant rubbing of one tree against another is sometimes re- sponsible, but these instances are few and far between. Statis- tics prove that in the majority of cases these conflagrations, which cost us every year in this province millions of dollars, can be traced to some human agency. It is an appalling waste of one of the most valuable of our natural resources. Some years ago there wss placed outside the Vancouver General Post Office a section of the trunk of one of our large trees. The rings in it showed that it had been growing since before the days of Queen Eliabeth. Yet in every forest fire numbers of these forest giants are destroyed or killed in a few hours. A camper's fire not properly put out, or the burning / end of a cigarette--and the large increase in the use of cigar- ettes has been particularly disastrous in this respect--care- lessly thrown down amid the dry fern and underbrush, and in few short hours there are miles of blazing forest. There hastily gathered groups of panting, smoke-blinded men work furiously to stem the raging torrent of flame that fairly leaps over and through the trees under the fanning of the great wind it has itself created, and, when all is over, the leafy forest is no more. In its place is a blackened wilder- ness. Any who have travelled through s burnt area know what it looks like, and that is s deserted and forgotten cem- etery. It is a cemetery--of the trees, for they are dead. West Vancouver is rightly very proud of Hollyburn Ridge. Besides supplying us largely with water it forms a back- giound!o our. fair municipality that ls equalled-in few. pla es in the world and surpassed nowhere, At present it is our I playground chiefly in the winter, but in the summer many enjoy its beauties and their numbers are steadily increasing. It is up to those of us, therefore, who hike there in the sum- mer and early fall to be particularly careful in order that it msy be preserved to us. So far no devastating fires have occurred, but several incipient blazes have been started and fortunately put out before they could gather head- way, thanks to the forestry officials who watch over it. Further than that, we should exercise the same care whenever ,i we are in the woods anywhere, for, whik B. C. still has "360,- 000,000,000 board feet of merchantable timber, it has none to !

SIUNN SPEAKS IN WEST VANCOUVER A. M. Msnson made an elo- quent address last Wednesday evening in the Hollyburn Thea- tre, on behalf of A. E. Munn, Liberal Candidate for this riding. Dealing extensively with the enormous growth in the Domin- ion's foreign trade, the decrease in our national debt, snd the rise in Canada's prestige as a nation during the last eight years, thefo~iore ey general fvt Bi'it- ish Columbia tore to pieces the arguments of his opponents. With Mr. George Hay in the chair, the opening address wss made by James Murphy, a prom- ising speaker of the younger generation, who cited his own family as an example of loyalty to Canada. After an introduction by F. J. Bayfield, campaign manager, Mr. Munn followed with a brief review of his record while serv- ing as provincial member for Lil- looet, a constituency adjoining that of Vancouver North, and the interests of which were identical. The Pacific Great Eastern, said Mr. Munn, was of common con- cern to us all, and in former years he had been one of the foremost in advocating its com- pletion from North Vancouver to the Peace River, and as member for the riding in the Federal House, he could be depended upon to keep up the good work at Ottawa, The Liberal standard bearer created a very favorable impression, and at the conclusion of the meeting became the cen- tre of a gathering of old-time acquaintances who expressed their pleasure at seeing him a- gain in the political arena. A large crowd turned out for the opening meeting and the chair- man announced that arrange- ments had been made to have the Hon, Charles Dunning speak on the North Shore about the 18th of this month.
