would do much more toward abol-

FOREST FIRES IN BOUNDARY.
imber AbIaze for 20 Miles Along c.
p. r. System in B. c.

The forest in the section along the
Columbia & Western railway between
Cascade and the Bull Dog tunnel is
ablaze in places. The flames have
reached Farron, where they destroyed
the station, roundhouse, the water
tank and a large boarding house, en-
failing a loss of about $4,000.
The employees of the railway at Far
ron made a strong fight against the
flames, which after destroying the
buildings passed on toward the Bull
Dog tunnel. The fires now extend
along the road for about 20 miles and
the entire available Canadian Pacific
railway force from Cascade to Rob-
son is endeavoring to save the
trestles, of which several are high and
long. There had been an unusually
long, dry, hot season and once a fire
is started in the forest it burns itself
out, as there is no means of stopping
it.
