the ruins of Heaslip and Charlton, two
of the towns which have been burned.
Great Area in Ashes
The burned area in the Haileybury
district extends from Cobalt, one of
the largest towns in northwestern On
tario, which was saved by a change in
the winds direction Wednesday night,
to Englehart, 30 miles to the north.
The extent of the area ablaze in st.
Maurice valley has not been estimated,
the fires burning far to the north, in
regions sparsely populated. The en-
tire burning area spreads over the two
provinces of Quebec and Ontario, fan
shaped, with the three cities of Otta-
wa, Quebec and Montreal to the south.
OF these three, Montreal is probably
the nearest to the large fires, a smoke
pail having darkened the city late
Thursday.
Port Neuf, to the north of Montreal,
is threatened by the st. Maurice river
region fires. Reports reaching here
state that a large fire is burning be-
tween Rivierre-a-Peu and R~osseau's
the forest areas of Notre Danes des
Anges.
Loss Is $4,000, 900
In Haileybury, the property loss is
estimated at $1,000, 600. The number
of homeless is said to be at least 5000.
With reports of heavy forest fires in
Michigan, to the east of Quebec and
over the border in Maine, farmers
working in a potato field on the ut
skirts of Haileybury late Tuesday
started a rubbish fire to burn dried po-
tato tops. As a result, only 20 homes
stand in Haileybury.
From the potato patch, the fire
spread to bushes and then to neighbor-
ing woods, which were dry as finder.
Soon the fire was beyond human con
troll and was not checked until five of
the mining settlements which dot the
area were DESTROYED.

MOUNTAIN ROAD WORK
SHOWN IN NEW FILM

The most difficult road building in
the United States-the construction
of good highways through the Natl
onal Forests of the Vests shown
in a new United States Department
of Agriculture motion picture, High
roads and Skyroads.' The picture.
one reel in length, was made in the
western tier of states under the SUI
pervision of highway engineers of the
Bureau of Public Roads, which is in
charge of the federal government S
road construction work.
'"The old frontier has gone, never
to return" says the film at its open
ing, just preceding scene showing
the grave of Buffalo Bill on Lookout
Mountain overlooking Denver. A
contrast is drawn between the old
prairie schooners and pack trains, OF
davs gone by, and the motor cars of
today. Surveying on high mountains
and in narrow canyons, blasting,
grading, and surfacing are pictured,
and at the end some of the finished
highway leading over the Continen-
tai Divide are thrown on the screen.
The picture is the first of series
dealing with the road building work
in national forests. 1t may be bor-
rowed from the department of agri-
culture, or prints may be purchased
at the manufacturing cost by au-
thorized institutions.

cusHIoxING QUALITIES OF ROAD

Perhaps no stretch of highway in
the United States will be watched for
its service qualities more than the new
Phoenix-Tempe highway in Arizona
bat recently completed. There being
two schools of highway engineers in
the United States, one advocating the
rigid pavement to Withstand the i'm
past shocks OF heavy traffic and the
other advocating a cushioning pave
ment to absorb the shocks both
schools will watch the behavior OF the
new road with great interest. The
final three-mile stretch Of the Phoenix
highway was constructed OF asphaltic
concrete In both base and surface. II
will furnish an interesting comparison
with the portland cement concrete
road that adjoins Il on the east. The
asphaltic concrete pavement fits the
thory OF the engineers who advocate
a resilient or shock absorbing pave
ment and the cement concrete meets
the views Of those who urge the rigid
or resistant type. "Asphaltic concrete
base and surface pavements." says the
Arizona Republican, have been in
