FIRE! 



The Bashaw Star of Bashaw, Alberta, Canada, under date of 

 September 2d, contains this unfortunate news item: 



Fire, supposed to have been caused from a defective 

 stove pipe, completely destroyed the home of George L. 

 Cook, who lives about six miles east of town. The fire 

 started about seven o'clock in the morning while the fam- 

 ily were out doing the chores and milking and by the time 

 they arrived on the scene the entire building was a mass of 

 flames, the building and contents being a total loss. 



Among the contents was a collection of birds' eggs 

 valued at between $800 and $900 and representing practi- 

 cally every known species of bird known to Alberta. This 

 collection had been gathered over a period of fifteen years 

 and was considered one of the finest in the province. 



We extend to our brother our sympathy at his loss. Any one 

 of us would hate to lose the accumulation of years. Why not 

 each of us send Mr. Cook one set to assist in replacing as near as 

 may be his loss. It would be a neat way to show there is a bond 

 of sympathy between real Oologists. 



R. M. Barnes.
