First of these will be tin skimmed milk. This will doubtless b utilized by the bakeries, displacing dry milk powders which are extensively used when skimmed milk is not available. Such of the milk which does not find its way to the bakeries will probably find a ready sale for the feeding of hogs, calves and chickens. Tills outlet for the skimmed milk will expand greatly and be of substantial benefit to all engaged in live stock production. During the winter months the live stock may also get considerable of the buttermilk, until the residents of Prince George acquire a tt f it e with which and butter u deUvenes wiUjlso made. ade. Mr Miller intends, to give the farmers supplying the creamery the maximum of benefit through its operation. taste for it. When the Interior Creameries is ready to institute its deliveries of pasteurized milk the city council will enforce the provisions of the provincial milk regulations which prohibit the distribution of raw milk other than such as meets the requirement of Grade A. Most of the men engaged in the dairy business in the city expect to make the required classification for their product, and the smaller producers will find a market for their output in the creamery which will reach the consumer as a pasteurized product, one of the greatest safeguards for the public health.

FAMOUS FRENCH LINER DESTROYED BY FIRE IN ENGLISH CHANNEL Several of the Crew Trapped in Boiler Room and Others Lost . in 'Launching Boats \ London, Jan. 4�The famous French liner LaLaritique, which cost $18,000,000 was totally destroyed by fire today while In the English- channel, proceeding from Bordeaux to Havre. The origin of the fire is not known at present, but it swept through the ship so fast that a number of the crew were trapped in the boiler rooms and perished. First reports placed the death .list at thirty, but the number of the dead has been since reduced to seventeen, some of whom lost their lives in connection with the launching of the life-boats. There were 228 persons on board the La Lantique. Four vessels assisted in the rescue of the passengers and crew, but the liner was burning so fiercely that they could not approach very closely to her.

The fight'ng has been proceeding for three days, and there is much uncertainty as to what the intentions of the Japanese are. Opinion is divided as to whether the present outbreak is in the way of reprisal for the persistence of the Chinese boycott of Japanese goods, or whether it indicates the f ment to extend the ous error, however, in assuming the same thing would be expected of him in his provincial appointment as assistant fire marshal, whereas the heads of such appointees are used solely as pegs upon which to hang their hats. The trouble had its outcrop over Ernie Thompson's dry-cleaning establishment. The fire marshal decided the establishment constituted a fire menace, and under date of November 21st he instructed his assistant marshal to close the establishment down until standard fire-prevention equipment should be installed. The members of the municipal fire and water committee did not shar* the fears of the1 fire marshal, and Mr. McKenzie communicated tivs fact to his superior provincial officer, informing him the building in question was forty feet from ing at McBride at 6 p.m.. instead of 11.50. a.m. The arrival at Prince George will be 12.50 midnight on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, instead of 8.50 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

With the falling off in the payment of taxes the percentage of school board expenditures to tax collections steadily rose, and for the current year it is asserted the expenditures of the board will equal 70% of the entire collections on account of current taxes. There has been no one to blame for the lack of-interest in school management other, than the ratepayers themselves. They have had it in their power to secure such representation on the school board as they desired, but they neglected to take advantage of it. The circumstance that the members of the school board were not charged with any responsibility in the raising of the money they disbursed has been an irritant for- a number of years, and quite recently was brought . to the attention of the provincial beginning of a movement, to extend the sphere of Japanese domination in China by extending the boundaries ni the former province of Manchuria. The Japanese are driving the Chinese forces before them. They are reported to have passed the ancient Ch'nese wall at two points, and to have effected their first occupation of China proper. The powers are watching developments, especially Great Britain and the United States. In the interest of world peace the hope is entertained the Japanese will not push their offensive further, and thus complicate the already difficult situation wh'ch the League of Nations is called upon to deal with in the middle of the month when the entire Manchurlan problem will be reviewed. There is little to warrant the belief, however, that the Japanese will consider the difficulties, of the powers. The fighting is reported to have to that time carried out the fire marshal's instructions Mr. Thomas then had one of his inspectors make a survey of the Thompson premises. This officer not only condemned the premises then in use by Mr. Thompson, and recommended the issue of an order for discontinuance, but learning Mr. Thompson had arranged for new premises in a less congested part of the city recommended he be required to install standard fire prevention equipment in his new premises. By way of good measure the inspecto fire marshal that Fire . seemed to be afraid to take any action in the matter. Thus caused Mr. Thomas to blow-up completely, and he took his trusty pen in hand to write a communication to Mayor Patterson which fairly bristled with threats over what he considered the unwarranted interference on the part of members of the fire and water committee with his assistant marshal :n the discharge of his duty to the chief fire marshal. It was not for Mr. McKenzie to reason why. It was his duty to issue the order for dlscontinu-of the use of the Thompson urdays.
