(CP)
Prince

it
was
indicated
at
the
Foreign
Trade
Conference
of
the
Canadian
Chamber
of
Commerce
here
today.
R.
S.
O'Mcara,
trade
commissioner
for
British
Columbia,
said
the
Department
of
Transport
has
agreed
to
review
load
line
restrictions
which
at
present
make
it
impossible
for
'an
8,000-ton
vessel
to
load
to
within
three
tons
of
its
maximum.
"This
means
that
its
cargo
costs
21c
per
ton
more
than
for
other
ports,"
he
said.
The
subject
is
on
the
agenda
of
the
conference
on
Safety
of
Life
at
Sea
to
be
held
in
October
1917.

in
a
spectacular
waterfront
fire
which
at
2:30
p.m.
was
still
demanding
the
attention
of
the
entire
fire
department
but
shortly
afterwards
was
under

The

local

dock
was
badly
damaged
at
the
end.
Capt.
Hans
Knutsen,
owner
of
the
Lorna
II.,
was
known
safe.
Bobby
Houston,
ex-seryicc
man,
was
dead.
He
expired
on
way
to
hospital.
The
missing
men
are
Stan
Orvik
and
Sig
Grunfur.
David
Houston,
truck
driver,
who
happened
to
be
on
the
boat,
was
also
injured
and
in
hospital
as
is
John
Wick,
another
crew
member.
A
violent
explosion
preceded
the
fire
and
soon
the
end
of
the
dock
was
in
flames.
One
hundred"
and
fifty
drums
of
oil
on
the
dock
were
exploding
one
by
one
as
the
fire
continued.
The
company's
large
tanks
seemed
safe
as
the
wind
was
blowing
away
from
them..
Later
volunteers
were
rolling
the
barrels
away
as
it
appeared
that
the
blaze
was
getting
under
control.
The

had
been

under
con
trol
and
firemen
were
standing
near
the
end
of
the
wharf
playing
hoses
on
the
crumbled
sheet
metal
office.
The
huge
billows
of
black
smoke
that
poured
from
the
fire
in
its
initial
stages
had
turned
to
white
as
the
fire
subsided.
The
Lorna
1L,
owned
by
Hans
Knutsen,
lies
smashed
to
wreckage
at
the
side
of
the
wharf.
The
vessel
was
badly
damaged
and
partially
sunk
last
Octol)er
when
she
struck
a
reef
off
White
Itock.
She
was
towed
to
dry
dock
here
and
repaired.
Bobby
Houston,
a
brother-in-law
of
Hans
Knutsen,
was
a
popular
local
sportsman.
He
won
the
"Good
Sportsmanship"
medal
in
the
city
basketball
league
last
March.
His
father,
Vic
Houston,
is
president
of
the
Canadian
Legion.
A
body
was
taken
out
of

water
alongside

at

It
was
identified
