AS We have of late seen some of the
devastating effects of prairie fires in the
destruction Of hay stacks, out-buildings,
ets., as well as In the destruction of sew
eral thrifty copse of young timber, which
had already got ten years start, we
are led to reflect OH what the end shall
be if parties are to set the country ablaze
whenever they chose on the plea that
they want 10 burn the old grass Off a
meadow or get good burn OH the land
which they desire to break. While
writing have in my view scores of acres
ofyoung poplas which had start of
several years and have been completely
killed by late fires. The loss to the
owners is considerable, but in view of
the scarcity of timber in the near future
it becomes question affecting the public
in way not to be disregarded. That a
man shall have the right to burn his
own prairie is right and proper, but that
he shall claim the right to do SO without
consideration as to the right of his neigh
bors to protect their timber is a point
which may well be disputed. We say
emphatically that the man who wishes
to burn his prairie annually or perlodi-
cally should surround his premises, lie
they large or small, with a fire guard,
ample to protect the fire he SO sets out
from escape on to the premises of his
neighbor. Nor should he even then be
allowed to set out FIRE when the wind is
80 high that there is danger of it carrying
the fire over reasonable fire break. In
this township hundreds of acres of young
timber have been destroyed during the
past month. As the groves of poplar and
balm of gilead will plainly testify the re-
suit is such that all the efforts of indiyid-
uals to propagate timber and all the gov
eminent regulations as to timber culture
will not and cannot remedy the evil with
in the next decade. Surely it is high
time that Q stop shall be put to such
doings and the perpetrators of such out
RACES be brought to justice. Let the
majesty of the law be maintained aud if
defective on this point it is the duty of
our Representatives. the territorial legis-
lature to have the law meet the require
ment of the case. 1t is a question of
national interest and should not be over
looked.

The following will give an idea of the
amount of money paid annually to troops
and civilian employees at the post: Quar-
termsster's department.:
Civilian employees q, $50 SO; extra
duty pay to soldiers, $3.50. co.. q, $780, SO
Regular pay of troops, averaged
from muster roll, for one year,
Exclusive of commissioned Off.
GERS $4,000
This amount, of course, does NOT include
the special allotments made for material
and labor required for construction and
repairs, painting, etc., which amount IN
labor alone to at least three thousand
dollars per annum. Nor does that amount
include the appropriation for regular sup.
plies, such as the wood, coal, hay, corn
bran and oats contracts, also the beei
contract. All of these contracts are sup
piled from this locality, except the coal
and perhaps the corn, and amount to
much more than the cash actually paid
out 70 troops and civilian employees and
it is safe to say that the troops spend &c
per cent of their pay in the Four Corners
mostly in Pembina. Thus aye necessary
evils tolerated. "A
