A despatch from Ottawa says: -
The City of Hull is in a much better
position now than it was before the
great lire fifteen months ago. The
assessment rolls, which were all re-
ceived at the City Hall on Friday
'morning, place the taxable property
in the Transportine City at 33,165,-
000. A year ago, before the build-
ing operations following the fire were
advanced, the estimate was 31,700,-
000. Before that date the taxable
property was valued at 32,500,000,
so that the city is 3665 ahead as a
result of the fire. The difference is
accounted for by the better class of
buildings erected. The non-taxable
property, church, schools, etc., are
valued at about 31,000,000. . The
population of the city, according to
the assessment rolls is 13,994.

HEAVY LOSS.
Thousand Square Miles of Pine
Burned Over.
A despatch from Ottawa says: -A
thousand square miles of pine forest
are said to have been burned over in
the recent nres in the Temiscamingue
and Kippewa districts, although the
reports are conflicting. The money
loss is placedat erom 3500,000 to
3750,000, and while this loss will be
felt at once, the future loss will also
be great. The young pine which
were destroyed would have been
commercially valuable in a few
years, but it will be many years be-
fore the new growth can replace
them. Much of the old pine trees
damaged by the fire can be cut in a
short time and made ready for the
inarket. The principal losers are the
