FOUR FIRES IN AN HOUR.

Four fires In single hour!
This is the somewhat strenuous rec

blazes, in every instance the loss proved
trivial
The first alarm was recorded at $3.50
o'clock. and called the department tc
small house on Douglass Street IN

proved practically nothing, and the de-
partment went on across the city tc
Highland Park, whence an alarm had
been turned In at S:S5 o'clock, while tht
department was en- route to the scent
of the first blaze. and before it hac
reached Oakley.
The second alarm was sent in be,
cause of slight roof blaze at the home
OF r. A. chatham. originating ir
sparks from the chimney. A small

BANKS OF CANADA GAIN; PEG.
PIES SAVINGS BIG.

Record of Financial Institutions for
the Year 1905 shows Remarkable
Prosperity All Over the Dominion.
Ottawa, Ontario, March 1.-The year
which has just closed has been one
most satisfactory and progressive with
the financial institutions Of Canada,
and the business of the chartered banks
reflects the unprecedented prosperity
enjoyed throughout the country during
the year 1905.
The increased demands made upon
mercial and agricultural expansion Of
the year were provided for without the
monetary disturbances sometimes noted
In the United States. Whatever opin-
ions may be held as to the composition
of the Canadian banking system, it Is
claimed that its flexible currency has
many commendable features, and with
out which the last few months Of the
year must have produced a money
stringency with probably disastrous re-
suits. 1t Is felt that wider field Of
credit In the Dominion is needed, and
consequently the capital of many exist
Ing banking institutions has been in
creased and several new banks are In
process of organization.
The chartered banks of Canada to-
day enjoy the confidence Of the general
public to greater extent than ever be-
fore. The total deposits of the people
In these institutions last year were
$522,317,000, which shows an increase
of over $58,000,O00 for the yeer. In
actual money in bank probably no otn-
err country in the world, comparatively
speaking, can make a better showing
than Canada.
The total deposits of the Canadian
people in the government savings
banks, in special savings institutions,
and in the chartered banks alone
amounted last year to the enormous
sum of 5000, 454,0O0. This represents
an average credit balance of over $10O
per head of the population of the Do
minion, and it is stated that the only.
other country liz the world that ap-
proaches this record Is Denmark, where
the average credit balance is about
$96.50 per capita. The above figures,
however, do not comprehend moneys
deposited with private bankers, loan
companies, mortgage corporations and
trust companies, or what is boarded up
In secret hiding places.
The annual report of the Dominion
! finance department, just issued to the
public, shows surplus In the Domin-
ION treasury for the fiscal year of ST.
S63, 600, and refers to the remarkable
increase In the public revenues during,
the year.
