dry condition of the woods ana the
brisk winds prevailing during the last

of fires immensely. Farmers in this re-
gion are praying for rain.
Along the east ridge of the Tran
Rock Valley and i'm the valley itself
several fires broke out yesterday and
tho farmers have banded together and
organized resistance. The fires were
kept fairly well i'm check yesterday.

tween Gratiot Lake and Lac La Belle,
another at Seven Mile point, near tho
Gratiot river and other smaller fires
scattered through the district. Game
Warden John r. Macdonald is heading
a crew of forest rangers who are COM
batting a fire near Chassell, perhaps the
most serious i'm the whole district.
Yesterday n bush fire was started in
the swamp between Tamarack ana
Swedctown, close To the {. IA. park.
An alarm was turned in and members
Of the Tamarack fire department sue
ceeded in checking the flames, with the
aid Of stream of water from the No.

road tanks.
