William R. Agar of Thornloe, who sent in these pictures, in an accompanying letter tells of stalled motor cars and blocking off the Ferguson Highway. The upper picture is real old-time winter, and in the lower a car is being towed to dry land. Old-time settlers say the storm was a record-breaker for October.

“REHABILITATION WORK IS STARTED IN FIRE DISTRICT,” Owen Sound Sun Times. June 10, 1932. Page 12. ---- Supplies Being Rushed to Northern Settlers by Plane; Fires Checked --- (Canadian Press Cable) AMOS, Que., June 10— As the fierce blaze of the forest fires that have swept Quebec for the last week died down today under a steady cold rain, work of rehabilitation was begun across the fire-swept districts of Abitibi and Lake St. John. By plane and water carriage, foodstuffs and settlers' supplies were being rushed to the stricken people of the hinterland. 

Firefighters who have battled unceasingly the wind-swept fires for the last week today turned toward their ruined homes and made preparations for re-establishing themselves. 

No estimates were available today as to the amount of damage sustained by the mining properties belonging to the Hollinger, Nipissing, and other companies but it is believed to be heavy. No deaths were reported. 

The situation in other fire-swept territory was reported encouraging. In Temiskaming, the fires in the southern section are nearly all out while those in the north are under control. In the Lake St. John region most of the fires are under control.

“SEARCH PROVED UNSUCCESSFUL,” Cobalt Daily Nugget. February 2, 1912. Page 1. ---- Police Found No Trace Of Stolen Goods --- Acting on information laid by Rouchouns Bros. of Loon lake, search warrants were issued yesterday in an endeavor to locate a quantity of goods which the Rouchons, who keep a general store at Loon Lake in South Lorrain said had been stolen from their store by burglars who broke in during the night and abstracted a quantity of goods from the stock. 

Provincial Constables Jack McKay and Jerry Lefebvre went with the warrant to Loon lake yesterday afternoon and searched the houses where the goods were suspected to be concealed but discovered no trace of them. It was evident that the suspected parties had received some warning of the coming of the constables as the houses were deserted and no traces of the inhabitants were discovered during the stay of the police of the locality.

Page 3. ---- Total of 1237.12 Tons Left Cobalt in January ---- Shipments of ore from the camp during January showed a slight decrease as compared with the shipments for the last’ month of 1911 and fall somewhat lower than the average monthly shipments from the camp for last year. The fact is undoubtedly due to the non-appearance of the list of shippers during January of several regular shipping mines including Cobalt Lake and Kerr Lake. The amount shipped from each mine during January was as follows:
