Canada is therefor at the present
time approximately SEQ miles. So

fined TO British Columbia on account
of the cheap water Transportation from
the extensive oil fields Of Southern

that the use. of oil will be further eX-
tended In British Columbia and prob

All but q very small percentage Of
the total railway mileage of Canada
is subject To the jurisdiction of the

ly comes within the scope Of the fire

OF such lines i'm forestry country is so
small that this feature of the situa

There are two points which in clos

strongly in connection with railway
fire protection in Canada. These are
the requirement. Of special patrols by
the railway companies. and the estah

inspectors To take any necessary ac-
ton without delay,
During the portion of one season

is confidently expected that with the
strengthening of the administrative
Organization next season, still more
satisfactory results will he secured.
Elsewhere the principle has been
recognized to a limited extent that
