Sir Alexander Mackenzie, the de. partmont tells us in a bulletin just is- sued on the uses of birch, hunted whales in a birch bark canoe. The animals were found at the mouth of the Mackenzie Rive/r. He failed to strike the game, and concluded that it was probably for the best. While the notices are frail, it is pointed out that the bark of which they are made to- slats decay longer than any other2part oi the tree it would be difllcult, the department goes on to say. to estimate the value of the service of the birch bark canoe in the discovery, exploration, develop- ment and settlement of the northern part of this continent.

Lessons were progressing as usual district school, when smoke was smelled in the hallway. A teacher quietly left the room, and found a small lire blazing from ’a waste basket at the foot of the stair- way on the second floor. How the fire started will probably never be known, The flames, fanned by the draft, were curling around the wood- work, and spreading rapidly. There is a standpipe near Ely, and the hose was turned on; but to no avail. In the meantime, the bell rang for what most oi.’ the children thought was a “fire drill.” The pupils. formed into line quickly, and marched out msome going out through doors; many tak- ing the fire escapes. The sight of the clouds of smoke; the crackle of the flames, did not frighten UH children, although they hurried faster than in the usual fire drill. Fire Blazes Flercely. ’ Hardly had the lust pupil gotten out of the building (in safety, before the homes were roaring through the building and the structure \vas‘indeed a blazing furnace. The fire blazed-s0 fiercely that the firemen could not get in close reach of the building because of the intense heat. Soon the library. located seventy feet to the southward, But citizens and others were already busily engaged in car- rying out the books and piling them on the lawn. They were later taken away in automobiles .to places of safe keeping. Next in line of the path of the flames was thehouse of Hose Com- pany No. i, a wooden structure.

This concern, which has henefltted Man- chester on many occasions, owned the burned school building, loaning it to the town, as long as it was used for school purposes. The company like wise owned the library building, and many of the structures made a prey of the fire. it is believed, however, that a good- ly portion at the loss‘ if not a ma- jority, is covered by insurance. The burning of the schoolhouse will not hinder the school. children. It was announced last night thatc‘»; arrange- ments had been completed to hold two sessions of school in the other bulld- ings in the district for the benefit of the 900 pupils temporarily unhoused.
