Big Gain in Building.

According to the statistics gathered by
the Construction News, the building OPP
erations for which permits were issued in
twenty-six of the largest cities in the
United States in 1905 show gain over
the previous year of 40 per cent, or 1852
615,282. The showing made by st. Louis
is particularly worthy of notice, because it
is unusual for city in which an inter-
national exposition has been held to have
such gains in building in the year follow
Ing the close of the fair.

WRECK OF THE VALENCIA.
disaster Adds Another Tragedy 70
the Annals of the Sea.

nt.aster Adds Another Tragedy to
the Annals of the Sea.
The wreck of the steamer Valencia
off the west coast Of Vancouver island
odds TO the annals Of the sea a tragedy
that will long be remembered. All
but fifteen of the $50 persons on board
were drowned. The loss OF LIE was
not so great as that in a~number OF
wrecks of similar character, but the
peculiarly dramatic. and cruel clrcun-
stances of the disaster helghten It's
horrors. AS in the case Of many ILL
fated vessels wrecked in that vicinity,
the Valencia, steering by dead reckon
ing in a fog, got off its course and
struck a reef Threatened with sink
ing. the captain chose to hurl MS snip
against the coast which at this point
is a precipitous wall of rock
From an early hour Tuesday morn
ing until sometime Wednesday the
men and women huddled on the deck
Of the Valencia confronted the pros
pect Of almost certain death with dry
land and safely lying apparently al
most within a stones throw. The
heavy sea which kept pounding the
vessel against the rocks prevented the
use Of lifeboats, those lowered being
beaten to pieces against the side OF
the ship. Two sailors managed to
gain the shore and climbed up the
cliff for some distance, only to reach
a point wrere they could neither pro-
coed nor retreat. AS they were below
high-water mark, this added horror,
enacted before the eyes of the passen-
gers, showed the hopelessness of es-
cape in that direction. Even the YES
sells which were sent to make be-
lated attempt at rescue succeeded only
in raising false hopes.
Various reasons are advanced for
the fact that the Valencia was out OF
it's course The fog, the difficulties of
navigating the channel leading into
Juan de Fuca strait and the powerful
ocean currents doubtless combined to
deceive the navigators and bring the
ship into danger. 1t remains to be
seen whether a measure of response
bility does not also rest upon the Can
adam government for its failure to
maintain lights and bell buoys and
other protective devices on treachef-
Gus shore which has caused the de-
struction of ffty-six vessels and the
loss Of I'll lives within forty years.
At least the absence of coast guards
and lines of communication seems to
have been responsible for the long in
terval that elapsed before news of the
vessels predicament reached the near
est port and an attempt at rescue was
made possible.
The deadly west coast of Van
couver island is one of the worlds
most famous marine graveyards. In
forty years ffty-six vessels and I'll
lives have been lost, all within few
miles of the scene of the wreck Of the
Valencia. In addition to the Valencia
the King David and Pass Of Melford
have been wrecked in the past month.
With the King David seven lives were
lost, while twenty-six persisted on the
Pass of Milford. In the last forty
years the following wrecks, in which
more than ten lives were lost, have
occurred on the same coast:
