The re broke out in the baggage room about 5.45 a.m., and by the time it was - discovered there was only time t_o save two mail bags. Two bags of papers, all the baggage and two -truck loads of express were burnt. The ames spread to the adjoining waiting room and ticket oice build- ing, from which the tickets and a number of olce records were saved. There was considerable delay in `gating water on the re owing to the fact that the two hydrants near- est the station were more or less frozen, one of them having been used at the Orton planingpmill re, and a wait was necessary -to get suicient hose to `reach the hydrant at the Atherly road corner, from which also the pressure was poor owing to the .long distance. It is doubtful, . however, whether the station could have been saved, as the buildings were frame, and burn- ed rapidly. The loss on them is about $5,000. The "loss on the bag- gage and express will not be known until .claims are adjusted. 11,. p r,m.,.1.

In British Colum- bia the higher average. is due `to orcharding and fruit growing. Wages of Farm Help The wages paid` for farm labor in 1914 fell to a lower point than in . any other year. The causes for this . decrease were the small crops of 1914 for ithe'gat'hering of which few- - er hands were required, the release . of ot`her.laborers on the outbreak of . the war andithe increased cost of 1 board. In 1915, owing to the ] abundant harvest and the effects of 5 recruiting for the army, there was 5 some reaction. and the. average ; wages paid were more than in 1914 1 if not equal to those paid in 1910, the `date of the previous inquiry.
