Vancouver, B. C.-The estimate of
the fire which broke out at midnight,
July 10, in the Main street warehouse
district places the loss at nearly 3d.
100000.
Three big warehouses, each worth
$250,O0O, were destroyed, as well as a
number of other smaller blocks. The
loss on stock was very heavy. The
A. B. G. Motor company estimates the
loss on automobiles in its warehouse
at $225,0O0. Between so and 60 cars,
most of which were owned by COM
mercial firms in the neighborhood, were
destroyed.
A large quantity of lime, cement, ETC.,
was burned in Champion & White s
building, where the loss on structure
and stock will be more than 100000.
Though scores of people in the An
gelus rooming house had narrow es-
capes, it is believed that no life was
lost. Fireman Desmond, the one man
who was injured, will probably be
out of the hospital in day or two.
The section burned lies along the
False creek water front, extending ON
the east side for block along Main
street. The area burned is about three
acres. Estimates show the chief losses
to be:
Champion & White, building and
builders supplies, $45o,Ooo; Canadian
Malleable Steel Range Co., $4,000;
British Columbia Electric railway,
$4,000; Tudhope Motor company, $780,

CANADIAN PORTS AND PANAMA.
What Pacific Coast Ports Expect From
Their Investment.

1t goes without saying, when the
ports of the Pacific coast are spending
hundred million dollars in prepare
ton for the opening of the Panama
canal, that they are not spending such
an amount on the expectation of the
whooping boomster, on Shot air" and
"tall talk" and street corner prophe-
cies. They have figured out the bene-
fits from the canal in dollars and cents.
Having planned an expenditure of
hundred million on improved har-
bors, terminals. lowered rail grades,
what return do the Pacific coast ports
expect from their investments
Begin at the most northern Pacific
transcontinental terminal-Prince Ru-
pert, the western end of the Grand
Trunk. The Grand Trunk passes over
as vast grain areas as the Canadian
Pacific or the Great Northern. The
wheat crop of Alberta, Saskatchewan,
and Manitoba has fuctuated from one
hundred to two hundred million bushels
according to the season; and the Grand
Trunk has perfect right to expect
the carriage of one-third of this total.
1t must be remembered, too, that the
crop of the three Canadian provinces
IS likely to treble in the next ten
years. Now the Grand Trunk has an
nounced that after the opening of
Panama it will ship it's quota of grain
from the Canadian provinces via Pan
ANA. Its low mountain grades enable
1t to bring grain down to sea level on
the Pacific cheaper than the other
roads can reach Atlantic level in the
east.
In 1910 Montreal exported twenty
million bushels of grain. Surprising in
ten years the Grand Trunk is sending
twenty million bushels by way of Pan.
ANA, what will it mean in the saving
of freight charges to the westi No
one yet knows what the Prince Rupert
rate via Panama will be; but the stan
dard comparison of rail versus water
on wheat will do. From Chicago to
New York by rail the rate for wheat
is ten cents bushel. From New York
w PooA thC IdJc Is tuTeS cents.
For three times the distance by water,
the rate is one to three. By rail, one
cent buys, say, one hundred miles. By
water, one cent buys one thousand
miles. That is what Panama means in
a saving to Prince Rupert. In fact the
necessity of attracting grain to the
as against Panama has this
year caused drop of cent a bushel
for lake ports to New York via Buff
falo One western firm, which shipped
10000 bushels to Liverpool via Te-
huantepec, saved 8 cents bushel as
