Burns & Company was totally destroyed by fire. The loss, including carcasses in Cold storage, will probably be in excess of $2,000,000. On account of the low water pres-sure the fire de~ partment was unable to do clfecu five work. The loss is serious, in that the local plant wzm the largest institution of its kind in the west, from which all of the western cities, including Vancouver and Victoria and the coast cities, draw largely for their meat supply, and butcher- ing in the open may have to be re- sorted to in order to prevent. a meat famine.

The whole of the easement was in flames, and the packing pliant deâ€" partment, augmented by all of the city fire department, was unable to make any headway against the flames. Repeatedly the firemen enâ€" tered the basement, only to be driven back by the overpowering ammonia, fumes. In a short time the fire had gotten into the greaseâ€" soeked floors of the upper stories, and when this occurred the water had no effect whatever. Several ‘of the firemen had narrow escapes from exploding ammonia tanks, but no one was seriously injured. The fire raged furiously, all day and by night little remained of the magâ€" nificent plant but charred ruins.

A dospatch from v Fort W‘illivam’ says: Ready with the first breaking of ice in Thunder Bay and Lake 811- perior to steam out of the harbor to their destinations, sixty vessels are tied up at the elevators in Fort William with 13,000,000 bushels of grain in their holds. This work, which has never been equaled at 'tho head of the lakes, is due to keeping the harbor open after navi- gation had closed... The vessel‘s were able to move to different; eleâ€" vators with little. or no assistance and Without any undue rush. Iceâ€" breakers are breaking ice two feet thick in the harbor and will con- tinue to keep the river open until January 20. Practically all.the vessels here have been loaded, and there will be no necessity of work being done after the ice breakers quit. - lJonquierc Woman Killed, Another l and Two Children Hurt. Adezspatoh from Quebec says: A fatal accident occurred on Thurs- day night; at; Jonquiere, 10 miles from Chicoutimi, by which one wo- man lost her life and another wo- man and two children were badly burned. In the residence of one Hick, an employe in Price’s paper mill, a gasoline lamp exploded, in [sitantly killing Mrs. Lilaburn, a. servant in the family. Mrs. Hick and two of her children were badly burned. How the explosion 00‘ curred is unknown. The house was only slightly damaged. Passengers on Allan Liner Have a Thrilling Experience. A despa-teh from St. John says: A narrow escape from destruction from fire and severe experiences by passengers and crew were reported by the Allan Lin-e steamer Cartha- ginian, which arrived here on Fri- day nighrt from Liverpool. The steamer lefit Liverpool December 28 for St. John’s, Halifax and Philadelphia. Capt. McKillop said that when she was three days out her cargo caught fire in some un- explained manner. The flames spread so rapidly that it was neces- sary to pump an unermous amount of water into the vessel to drown them out. The fire was finally ex- tinguished, but for twelve hours-the water was knee deep on the lower deck. It is eetimated that repairs to the vessel will cost $10,000. A large part of the general cargo was damaged. M] SSION .\ RY" S‘ SON KILLED . S'I‘R. I‘RANIUM STRANDED. NEW RAILWAY PROJECTED. GASOLINE LAMP EXPLODED. ON FIRE IN MID-OCEAN: SIX-TY VESS'ELs READY.

Austin-Canadian Lme by the C. P. R. is Rumored. A despatch from Montreal says: Mr. G. M. Bosworth, Vice-Presi- dent of the C.P.R., would neither confirm nor deny the rumor that the Canadian Pacific Railway will shortly inaugurate an Austro-Cana- dim: steamship service. “The company,” Mr. Bosworth said, “has not made any definite decis- ion regarding such a serviCe, and as the matter stands now it is only a rumor.”- The rumor current. in London is that the proposed line will run directly from Trieste to Canada, and that Montreal will probably be the landing port in summer and St. John in winter. A de‘spatch from Ottawa says: lC‘anadats total trade for the twelve months of the past year passed the billion-dollar mark by a. little over five and a half million dollars. Final or detailed figures will not be available for some wee-ks yet, but the returns received so far by the Trade and Commerce and Cueâ€" toms Departments show that the billion-dollar mark has been well passed. As compared with the Dominion’s trade for 1911 this re- presents a, gain of rneamly $189,000; 000, or 23 per cent. Imports for the past twelve months totalled ap- proximately $654,000,000, While ex- ports amounted to nearly $352,000,- 000. The gain in imports was near- ly $140,000,000, while exports in~ creased by nearly $49,000,000. Only one country in the world rivals Gain of Nearly 23 Per Cent.

The principal gains in exports during the paint year have been in exports of agriculture, mines and manufactures. The increase in ex~ ports of agriculture has been over twenty-five millions, in mine: over twelve millions, and in manufao times over seven millions. Exports of the forest and of animals and their products have shown a falling off of several. millions, due, doubt,- lcsrs, to the increased demands of the home market. “ Canada. in the percentage of trade growth during the past few years, namely, Argentina.
