C. timber by the recent fires cannot be definitely ascertained, but it ia believed to run into perhaps a couple of million feet, according to R. C. Benedict of the provincial forestry department, who has completed a tour of the affected zone. "At first," said Mr. Benedict, "we thought that the Alberta outbreak had spread over the boundary line of this province and' had started to burn up our reserves in the vicinity of Tete Jaune Cache, but on look-Ing over the situation I discovered that our first reports were Inaccurate and that as a matter oE fact, our ran-ers succeeded in keeping the flames ut. They only did it with a mar-in of about 200 yards or so, but hat was sufficient, and I think it-peaks well for their activity and ncthods to be able to say it, for sel-lom has such a blaze occurred with-i'ut doing greater damage. "The trouble to the provincial imber did not come from Alberta, lor in fact did it happen at Tete aune at all. But we had a big biaze some 30 mil«s off, at Shuswap, vhich, I think, has destroyed about 2,000,000 feet of timber. I cannot estimate the loss for the simple rea-on that we have as yet no means jf getting into the territory, and had o content ourselves with looking at t from afar. From Tete Jaune I ould see the smoke, and occasionally the flames, arid I based my cal-ulation of the loss upon my know-edge of the country. I can say that he timber, which was destroyed y this fire, which I am inclined to hink, covered an. area of from six o 10 miles, was not of any merch-mtable value, and would not be so or perhaps 30 years ov more to ome. Still it was unfortunate, al-hough it was, of course, impossible o avoid' on account of the lack of rails. We thought at firat of start-ng in to build trails into the coun-ry and fighting the fire, hut then, t occured to us that the rain would )eat us, and so it happened. Before ve came away we had lots of rain and the fires were all out. Everything at the present time looks good mt, of course, the danger is by no neans past. Taken so far the province has enjoyed splendid immunity from fire this year as compared with other places, and I think much of this credit belongs to the forestry department. "Now the fires are out we are commencing the construction ot trail construction ut certain points, and the" gfenerkl improvement of our system of communication. In fact, the principal object of my visit this time was to see just where it would be advisable to have trails cut; and I intend now to draw up a report on the subject and have it submitted to the Hon. W. R. Ross for the consldera-ion of the government. "On my way down I made a call t Fort George and several other oints, and saw the rangers. I found verything in excellent shape, I may ay that during my travels in the In- orior country I discovered many other vast forest areas, which, so far, are entirely uncharted. It is very likely that this matter will be taken up and that proper survey of the newly found areas will be made for the government."

Edmonton, St;pt. 1.—Steel on the Edmonton, Dunvegan and British, Columbia Railway wUl reach the northern end or' Lesser Slave lake this fall, and before the dose of the season trains will bo running to Mirror Landing, according to J. L). Mc-Arthur, contractor for the road, who arrived in the city today. Mr. Mc-Arthur has just completed an extensive trip of inspection,,!*)! the line, and he stated that, while work was now being pushed, forward rapidly, the long spell of wet weather had proved a decided handicap. With a reasonable amount of good weather, Mr. McArthur added, the work could be completed to Mirror Landing before snowfall. Steel has now reached a point 100 miles west of Edmonton. After the line has reached Mirror Landing the next big obstacle to be encountered will be the bridge over the Athabasca. The work will be a difficult one, according to Mr. McTrthur, but it will be pushed forward without de-ay. Four-room house; 10x18; well lnlshed. .«i>i.-)(><> cash.
