WILLIAM ATKINSON HINTS RESIGNATION DUE TO CUTTING OFF REVENUES Victoria. May 18.�Hon. William At-dnson. minister of agriculture, is not vorried over the resignation of C. E. Whitney-Griffith as secretary of the idvisory board of farmers' institutes. The minister intimates that the resignation was not due so much to departmental interference with the work of the advisory board, as to the action n cutting down the perquisites of Mr. Whitney-Griffith as secretary. The statute provides members of the advisory board shall receive no remuneration other than their travelling expenses, but Mr. Whitney-Griffith had arranged to boost his remuneration from $135 for the year 1919 to $2546 for the year 1928, an amount which was divided $1095 for services and $1451 for travelling expenses. The minster asserts the late secretary of the advisory board abused the provision of the statute made to provide for the expenses of advisory board members while away from home on the business connected with farmers' institutes. o-------------- DR.

Part of the fighting crew was withdrawn on Tuesday night. There is some doubt now as to the cause for this fire. A, crew of eight men has been fighting the Tire in the vicinity of Oscar Lake, to the east of Woodpecker. This fire got into some green timber, but no reports have been received from the men fighting it. Cooler weather, with the probability of showers in that section, will lessen the chance of this fire running. The fire in the vicinity of Isle Pierre is being fought by C. N. R. employees, the fighting force approximating forty men. The fire was held on some rough ground before it could reach green timber on the higher slopes, and unless high winds cause the fire to run it will soon burn itself out. It is believed this fire was started by railway operations. ( .m- No word has been received from Alex Hunter who went souUi on Monday to look into the fire .situation to the east of Punchaw Lake on the Blackwater road.
