Great Loss from Foees Fires.
1t is feared that the fetal loss BY
forest fires In the cast this year will
amount to $J0,Oo0.0O0. Already the
forest fires OF Canada have bsir.ed up
timber valued at $3o.OOO.oOe. Destruc-
tive fires are also reported frem the
west. and. taking Canada and the Uni.
ted States together. the loss frsn this
cause will probably amsunt to about
s10o.o0O,00O. When 1t h considered
that the value OF all the hog products
exported by this country in 1907 was
only $13o,432,IT3. that the value Of tAs
0 r exported for the same year Wa
only about s5,000.00O. and that the
value Of neither the oats. wheat nor
Jour exported In 1907 came anywhere
near The hundred million mark. one gets
