THE BUSH FIRES
A BLESSING IN DISGUISE. It is the common experience in those districts where bush iiros were supposed to bo causing widespread devastation that very great benefit has resulted, an. that, except whero settlers ato not in a position to stand tho temporary loss, which was occasioned an many instances, there is every reason to now view tho tires with considerable satisfaction. Many and many an acre of rough country which appeared impossible to satisfactorily clear has been burnt clean off, and with tho good rains which havo since fallen the fire areas are now covered with grass which must prove valuable to tho holders during iuo coming winter. It is an ill wind which blows nobody good, and this trite saying is particularly true of this season's bush fires.
