THE TRIUMPH TURBINE
Is the most powerful wheel on the market to-day. A glance at
this cut of the centre shows that the buckets are designed to
secure the maximum of speed with great power and a free
discharge. Mr. E. S. Edmondson, of Oshawa, writes as fol-.
lows under date of November 16th, 1903, regarding a 26 inch
Vertical Triumph Wheel :
“The Wheel is strictly first-class in every particular,
and after a careful and thorough test I am prepared to say
that I believe it is the best wheel in the market for Elec-
- trical purposes. It has high speed, large power, high effi-
ciency at part gate, and has practically no leakage. I am
more than pleased with the thorough and workmanlike
setting you gave me throughout.”
For horizontal settings in large Pulp Mills, Cement Mills or Electric Power Develop-
ments this Wheel has no equal. We invite your enquiries. Large catalogue to
be had for the asking.

THE RAT PORTAGE LUMBER COMPANY.
One of the largest manufacturing concerns
in Western Canada is the Rat Portage Lumber
Company, which was organized in the year
1896 to take over the properties of the Ontario
and Western Lumber Company, which was a
combination of the Western Lumber Company,
the Minnesota and Ontario Lumber Company,
the Safety Bay Lumber Company, Cameron
& Kennedy and Ross, Hall & Brown. The
company commenced operations with a capital
of $500,000, but have expanded the amount of
business originally done to such vast propor-
tions that to-day the capital invested amounts
to the sum of $2,000,000. They own mills at
Rat Portage, Norman and Rainy River in
Ontario, Winnipeg, Mani-
toba, and Vancouver and
Harrison River, B.C.
The eight mills operated by
this company have a com-
bined capacity of over one
hundred and twenty five mil-
lion feet annually and con-
Stitute one of the largest
lumbering plants in Canada.
The Rat Portage mill is
182x56 feet, with a wing 48
x35 feet, and boiler house
48x46 feet, containing seven
boilers and one 30x48 Cor-
liss engine. The engine has
a 24x30 inch cylinder, which
is equipped with Crow’s Nest
condensers, enabling the
water to be pumped back into
the boilers at a temperature
of 200 degrees. The mill is
equipped with one Prescott double cutting
band, manufactured by the Wm. Hamilton
Manufacturing Company, of Peterboro, one
Waterous band single cutting 4o inch Wickes
gang, driven by 14x16 engine, and two edgers,
_one being very heavy and from the Diamond
Iron Works, of Minneapolis. The log deck is
equipped with steam kickers, loaders and
niggers, the carriages being worked bya 10
inch steam feed.
The planing mill and sash, door and box
factory, which were unfortunately burned down
last summer,are being”rebuilt ona very elabor-
ate scale. The planing mill and box factory
are to occupy a two-story building 132 by 56
feet. McGregor,Gourlay & Company, of Galt,are
supplying all the machinery for the equipment,
which consists of dimension planer, three
matchers, double surfacer,moulder, band resaw
and rip saws, all for the planing mill. In the
box factory there w’ll be two surfacers, four
sets of rip and cut off saws, two box board
matchers, band re-saw, railing machine, three
turning lathes, block and spindle machines.
The power house of the planing mill is to be
of solid stone with iron roof 50x48 feet. It
will contain four boilers and a 20x24 engine,
also a complete electric light plant.
The company manufacture at Rat Portage
about 175,000 feet of lumber in ten hours,
consisting chiefly of white and red pine.
The Norman mill is situated one and one-
half miles west of Rat Portage. It is 200x50
feet, with a wing 25x4o feet, and is equipped
with an Allis telescopic double cutting band
mill manufactured by the Waterous Engine
Works Company, of Brantford, one rotary and

one 38 inch gang saw. The carriages are
operated by a 9x11 inch steam feed, and the
band saw by a 16x20 inch cylinder engine.
The main engine has a cylinder 24x30 inch.
- There is also a battery of eight boilers.
The planing mill in connection is 32x70 feet,
and the warehouse 24x40. The equipment in-
cludes a dimension planer,
matchers, sticker, and a 55 inch Connell &
Dengler re-saw operated by a separate engine.
The dry kiln in this department was supplied
by the A. R. Williams Machinery Company,
of Toronto. It is 130x20 feet and can handle
12,000 feet per day. The mill has a capacity
of 175,000 feet of lumber per day. There is a
tie mill in connection, with a capacity of 4,500
ties in ten hours.
The Rainy River mill is situated at the town
of Rainy River, close by where the Canadian
Northern Railroad crosses the Beaudette
bridge on its way from Minnesota into New
surfacer, three
Ontario. It stands ona site of 15 acres and
is equipped with a double cutting band saw,
twin circular and gang. It has a capacity of
125,000 feet. Mr. Donald Robertson, who
has been in the employ of the company a num-
ber of years, is in charge.
The Winnipeg mill is situated at Norwood, a
suburb of that rising city. It is equipped with
a double cutting band and gang edger and has
a capacity of 65,000 feet in ten hours. The
planing mill attached has two matchers, sur-
facer, moulder and band re-saw. The com-
pany also have a large wholesale warehouse on
Higgins avenue, Winnipeg, and one in Brandon
for handling the western trade.
In and around the Rainy River country both
in Minnesota and Ontario the
company own immense limits
of white and red pine, it
being estimated by the
directors that
enough on hand to supply
them for the next twenty-five
years without further pur-
chases. The logs are cut
and floated down the rivers
and lakes to Rainy River and
Rat Portage, but unfortun-
ately for the Winnipeg mill
they have to be carried there
by the Canadian Northern
Railway, and some difficulty
has been experienced in secur-
ing logs on account of the
railroad’s lack of rolling
stock.
Before touching upon the
British Columbia mills, it
may be mentioned that the town of Rat Portage
depends almost entirely on the Rat Portage
Lumber Company for its means of sustenance.
It isa town of 5,000 people situated at the
principal outlet of the Lake of the Woods.
From it all the product of the company’s mills
are shipped via the C.P.R. to the prairies.
The Lake of the Woods is the largest body of
water touched by the C.P.R. from Vancouver
to Port Arthur. It is studded with islands and
is a favorite resort for sportsmen and pleasure
seekers.
The mill of the Rat Portage Lumber Com-
pany at Harrison River was completed last
summer. It occupies a site of 26 acres on the
site of the old mill of the Harrison River Mill-
ing and Trading Company, and consist of a
saw mill, shingle mill, planing mill and sash
and door factory. The saw mill is 308 feet long
by 66 feet wide, with a wing attached 4ox120
feet. It is equipped with gang and band saws.

On March 15th, 1903, the Rat Portage Lum-
ber Company bought the saw and shingle
mills of W. L. Tait situated on the south side
of False Creek, and immediately commenced
work on vast improvements and extensions.
It has a capacity of
its manufactured products, they purchased
along the coast over 6,000 acres of fir, cedar
and spruce. They are now endeavoring to
make a specialty of hardwood shipments and
building materials.
The main building is 60 x 200 feet, the boiler
house, constructed of non-conbustible materials,
being attached to it. The planing mill is
50 x 120 feet, and is equipped with five planers

The property when bought had a capacity of
40,000 feet of lumber and 50,000 shingles a
day of ten hours, but with the installation of
new machinery the lumber mill output has
been increased to 80,000 feet a day.
Among the improvements is a double cutting
band, the first to be in British
Columbia. It was manufactured: by the
McDonough Company, of Euclaire, Wis. An
automatic trimmer has been installed by the
same firm, a clash table by the Allis Chalmers
Company, a new boiler of ‘100 h. p. and a
blower for the planers by the W. Thompson
Company,of Vancouver.

WOODEN TIE-PLATES FOR RAILWAYS.
Upon the advice of the U.S. Bureau of
Forestry, the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe
Railroad eight months ago began to experi-
ment with wooden tie-plates.
These plates
The Santa Fe placed cypress tie-plates one-
quarter of an inch thick on several thousand |
old and much-worn cypress ties laid in its
track north of Galveston, Tex. Aftér eight
months of constant use the plates are perfectly
sound and show practically not a trace of wear.
The Bureau of Forestry will now make simi- >
lar experiments with red gum, red oak and
beech tie-plates, which will be placed in the
tracks of the St. Louis and San Francisco, t dee
Burlington, and the Northern Pacific systems.

There has recently been incorporated a stock
company under the laws of the Dominion, un-—
der the title of the McLennan Timber Lands & —

present officers,
There is at the present time a ready sale for
Canadian timber lands among the American
lumbermen and_ paper manufacturers, and
through the wide acquaintance of Mr. Mc-
Lennan in the United States, it is safe to
assume that a large amount of American
capital and enterprise will be brought into
Canada through the agency of this company,
for which we predict success.

PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS.
GENTLEMEN :—It affords me very great pleasure to
see atthis meeting such a large and representative
gathering of the lumbermen of Canada. Iam particu-
larly pleased to see such a large representation of our
western friends, who, while they operate under con-
ditions differing considerably from those to which we in
Ontario are accustomed, nevertheless find that their
interests are to a large extent identical with those of
their eastern brethern.
It is not at all necessary for me at this day and age
to dwell upon the value of our meeting and of consulta-
tion and discussion upon those matters in which we are
vitally interested. The presence of so many here is a
Sufficient demonstration that we are all of one mind
upon that subject.
Since our last meeting we have suffered a sad loss in
the death of our lamented confrere, Mr. John Bertram.
He was personally known to all of us operating in this
province, and wherever known was universally liked
and respected. He was a many-sided man, being con-
cerned in other industries and channels of activity as
well as lumbering. In all that he did he was a man of
broad views and far-seeing sagacity. He has been
called the father of the present saw-log policy adopted
by the Government of this province, to which, more
than any other factor,is due the growth and prosperity
of the lumbering business and more particularly of the
milling and manufacturing portion of the business in
this province during the past few years. His memory
will not soon depart from us.
So far as the condition of the trade is concerned, I
regret that Iam not able to say that since our last
meeting conditions have to any very great extent im-
proved, and while I am hopeful of the outlook at present,
I must admit that Iam not toohopeful. I do anticipate
that with the curtailment of the output during the
present season prices of lumber must advance somewhat
by about autumn. Much, of course, depends upon
conditions which it is not altogether possible to define.
I see nothing in sight to check the progess of the United
States to the south of us, which forms a very large
portion of our market, and I confidently expect a con-
tinuance of the expansion and progress of our own
country. The depression which exists not only in
lumber, but in other branches of industry in England,
is undoubtedly continuing, and I cannot say that at
present I see any immediate prospect of betterment
there, but I hope that the expansion in ourown country
and in the United States will compensate for the stag-
nation in the Atlantic export trade, and this, with the
curtailment in production to which I referred a moment
ago, should ensure stability of prices.
The labor situation, which it was hoped would have
improved, cannot, so far as my observation goes, be
said to have improved to any noticealtle extent so far
this winter. It is perhaps a matter for congratulation
to the country as a whole that things are so prosperous
and expansion proceeding at such a rapid rate that the
demand for labor remains as keen as it is, and while
conditions continue as they are, it is possibly not to be
hoped that the labor situation in the lumber business
will improve. Recognizing that, we must make our
calculations accordingly. So far as I can see there is
no hope that an improvement in the labor conditions
will enable us to in any way offset the increased cost
of supplies.
The most important matter which we have to deal |
with at the present meeting is that of the proposal to
place an import duty on lumber and timber coming
into the country, and we are pleased to find our west-
ern brethern so strongly and unitedly with us upon
that question, and also that the Canadian Manufac-
turers’ Association are so strongly assisting us in this
direction. I donot propose to deliver you any ad-
dress upon that subject. I fancy that the reasons why
such a duty should be imposed are well understood by
all the gentlemen before me. With the large and
representative delegation which we will be able to
present at Ottawa to-morrow, so thoroughly represen-
tative of an interest which is sucha large one in our
country, being, in point of financial importance, the
fourth among our great productive industries, and
feeling as strongly as I do the fairness of what we are
asking and the strength of the case we shall be able to
present to the government, I sincerely hope that we
shall receive favorable consideration and we shall be
able to make the Dominion governmnnt see that it is
in the interest of the country to grant what we ask,
If we can succeed in having the duty placed at a
figure equal to that imposed upon our lumber going to
the United States,I am well assured that we might rea-
sonably expect steady, satisfactory and comparatively
prosperous business for some years to come. The ex-
pansion of our own market and increased demand for
lumber in our own country would of itself be sufficient
to put the trade upon a satisfactory basis, and if the
result ultimately should be the removal of the American
duty and also of ours (if one imposed), I, for my part,
woold consider that a consummation devoutly to be
wished for in the interest both of the lumber producing
and lumber consuming industries.
W. D. Lummis, President.
The Secretary submitted to the meeting the
usual statistical report of white pine produc-
tion and stocks, which was as follows :
SECRETARY’S STATISTICAL REPORT.
Gentlemen,—I beg to submit for your consideration
the following statistical information, based principally
on the replies to my circular letter of January 23, 1905.
PRODUCTION OF WHITE PINE LUMBER.
The total production of mills in North-Western On-
tario, which embraces all mills on Georgian Bay,
Northern Division of the Grand Trunk Railway to Cal-
lendar, and Canadian Pacific Railway, North Bay to
Rat Portage—the total production for 1904 is approxi-
mately 500,000,000 feet B.M.

In regard to the lumber on hand for 1904, the quan-
tity given is what I estimate there is at the mills now
for sale, but does not include what is sold awaiting
spring delivery. In regard to lower grades, mill culls
and under, there is absolutely none on hand at the
mills, and the prospects of good demand for next year
are excellent.
As to prices, the answer to my query as to prices be-
ing maintained on the basis of last year are unanimous
that they will be. Some stocks have already
been sold at an advance over last year.
Mr. W. B. TINDALL,
Secretary-Treasurer Lumbermen’s Association ot Ontario.
In regard to the probable production for next year, I
estimate this at 550,000,000 feet.
Last year the statistics were given for the competing
points of the United States, namely, States of Michi-
gan, Minnesota and Wisconsin, which showed a de-
crease in production from 1902 of 502,543,000 feet.
The decrease from 1903 to 1904 is:

Leaving Toronto, I went direct to St. Thomas, and
I was pleased to see the town so full» alive and pro-
gressive. It certainly boasts of wide-awake lumbermen
and up-to-date planing mills. The new planing mill
_ belonging to Harry Lindop is one of the best I have
ever seen and is the result of years of experience
learning what a modern planing mill should be. The
ob uilding is composed of concrete cement blocks right
up to the roof, with a magnificent driveway through
At e centre of the building. The latter has a frontage
_ of 9 feet and a depth of 110 feet, to which another
ddition of 30x60 feet is to be added. Despite the
Sack that -Mr. Lindop has had two or three disasters
: (the last of which was a complete. burn-out last May),
_he has proven equal to the task, and his modern
establishment speaks for itself. I should call Harry
_ Lindop a young old man of the progressive type. In
_ taking me through the building he spoke modestly of
_ his disasters and of how he arose again each time with
renewed energy for the work. 75-horse power
‘engine provides the motive power a some of the
latest improved machinery. Harry has a mill in the
Parry Sound district which supplies him with his
lumber, and he very kindly gave me a photo showing
himself inspecting a log ‘‘ dump” at his mill.
= Among the lumbermen who are now importing
_ extensively the southern yellow pine is J. M. Green &
Sons, Limited, of St. Thomas. They were among the
first Canadians to bring this lumber into Canada.
Young Mr. Green, who escorted me through their
- _ establishment, i is a young lumberman of brilliant ideas
and isthe active manager. He states that they are
using more hemlock for building purposes than ever
before. I was _particularly struck with the excellent
_ manner in which their dry kiln, storage sheds, and the
interior of the planing mill was laid out. The latter
_ building i is of brick, three stories high, with a tramway
- for bringing the lumber to be dressed directly to the
machinery. I have been in some planing mills where
men had to carry boards over piles of saw-dust and
heaps of shavings to get them to the planer. Here I

On my way to Detroit I met Mr. James Little, of the
Rat Portage Lumber Company, and formerly of Barrie,
Ont., who was on his way back to Rat Portage with
his wife and daughter.
Mr. Little has not only been an experienced lumber
camp superintendent, but a foreman of river drives, and
has a store of knowledge. Twenty-eight years of lum-
bering has left him still a young man. I had met down
in Nova Scotia a lumberman who had told me that
hemlock existed wherever white pine grows. When I
got over in Minnesota and Iowa last year I was con-
vinced that while hemlock was plentiful on the east
bank of the Mississippi, to the west of the river it was
practically non-existent. While in Northern Wiscon-
is used
sin I saw great forests of hemlock, but west of the St.
Croix river, in Minnesota, there was not a tree.. Mr.
Little verified this by saying he had seen no hemlock in
upper New Ontario or in Northern Minnesota.
I asked Mr. Little what his experience was with the
“lumber jack.” He szid the day of the hardy French-
Canadian was over. The ‘“‘ Canuck” always has been
the typical “‘ lumber jack.” He worked hard, thrived
on pork and beans, spent his money with ‘the com-
pany" and could be relied on to come back for the
next season. Next to the Canadians come the Swedes
and Norwegians. They are good workers, but spend
little of their wages, saving to get a start at some-
thing else. While the method of feeding the woods-
men has improved, the work done is not as good as in
the palmy days of 1880—just a quarter of a century
ago.
Indians and half-breeds, Mr. Little says, make good
river drivers, but cannot be depended on after the
25th of June or when they get their treaty money. Af-
ter the 1st of July they go on the hunt, also fishing or
berrying. They are, however, good at contract work,
cutting ties, etc.
From St. Thomas to Detroit I took the Pere Mar-
quette Railway. This company have become the
great central route since they absorbed the Lake Erie
& Detroit River Railway and the C. H. & D. Rail-
way. The original Pere Marquette was a logging

In Detroit several lumbermen
told me of their sympathy for
Mr. Horace A. Ross, of the C.

whose beautiful six-year-old boy
had both his legs cut off in a
railway crossing accident. The
poor little fellow was running

with the sad accident.

At Kalamazoo J had the
pleasure of meeting Mr. Shep-—
ardson, the genial manager of
the W. E. Hill Company, whose
famous saw-mill machinery is well
known all over the continent. Their output is of the
high-grade order. Mr. Shepardson is an old Hoo-Hoo
and knows how to welcome a visiting black cat.
The Battle Creek and Kalamazoo
reported fairly good business for January and all
looked forward to a banner season this year.
A pleasant run to Beloit, Wisconsin, showed the city
to be progressing. I visited the Mathison Machine
Works, the Berlin Machine Works and the Dowd
Knite Works. These progressive and up-to-date
concerns are shipping to all parts of the world.
When I struck Minneapolis for the Northwestern
Lumbermen’s Convention, the city had already been
lumbermen
struck byaterrific blizzard which gave the lumber-jacks
a touch of 30 below zero weather.
Over two thousand lumbermen with five or six
thousand visitors thronged the great Convention Hall
daily to hear the speakers and see the exhibits. Prac-
tically the whole north-western territory was repre-
sented, consisting of the States of Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Iowa, Nebraska, and the two Dakotas. The convention
is the largest of its kind held in the United States.
I was cordially welcomed and given space on the
main floor for an exhibit of Canada’s lumber journal.
These north-western lumbermen are about the most
self-reliant, good-natured fellows I ever met. Here
and there were pioneer dealers—men who had carved

Mayor Jones welcomed the boys. The Cypress Manu-
facturers’ Association of Louisiana sent C. H. Cross to
represent them. A. S. Osborn, of Oshkosh, represented
the North-western Hemlock Association, Harry Collins
the Pacific Coast Dealers’ Association, and H. S.
Gilkey held up the North-western Cedarmen’s Associa-
tion. President Barry, of Iowa, opened the convention
and Secretary W. G. Hollis, of Minneapolis, read the
annual reports. J. E. Rhodes, of the Mississippi
Valley Lumberman, spoke on ‘‘ White Pine,’ whilst
N. W. McLeod extolled the virtues of ‘‘ Yellow Pine.”
The various divisions of the lumber industry had a
fine display in the exhibit rooms, many of the World’s
Fair exhibits being placed on view. The whole made
one of the most elaborate displays ever seen.
To Secretary Hollis (who was re-elected) is due
great credit for the whole affair. He had a splendid
staff of assistants.
We all attended the Lyceum Theatre, kicked: up
“high-jinks’’ generally, had a flash-light photo taken
at midnight, chased the kittens at the Hoo-Hoo
concatenation till we were tired, and (as Mayor Jones
promised us) we were not molested.
I came upon the train to Winnipeg with a number of
the Northern Minnesota and North Dakota retailers.
They all report a splendid outlook for this season.

LUMBER INSURANCE.
In last issue we referred to the decision of
the Western Retail Lumbermen’s Association
to establish an insurance department in con-
nection with their association. We have since
learned that the lumbermen of. British Colum-
bia are up in arms against the insurance com-
panies and that the latter may lose their busi-
ness with the saw mill men. This is the re-
sult of increased rates put into effect about
one year ago.
The Lumbermen’s Indemnity Exchange,
with head office in Seattle, Wash., has been
organized, and it is understood that some of
the Canadian firms have already transferred
their insurance to the new organization.
The old line companies have, by their ac-
tions, shown that they are not particularly
anxious for lumber risks, and it would appear
that in the near future they may be freed from
anxiety in that direction. Then they may
realize that the premiums which they received
from that source constituted a larger item in
their total business than they had reckoned
upon.
There is one aspect of the mutual insurance
movement which is very important, namely,
its tendency to encourage the adoption of effi-

er whose property is well insured in a respons-
cient methods to prevent fire.
ible company in which he has no special in-
terest apart from the realization of his claim in
the event of a fire, will not adopt precautionary
measures to the same extent as the person who
is a stockholder in the company providing the
insurance and who will profit by any reduction
which may be effected in the losses of the
company.
The responsibility for the present high rates
on Canadian saw mills and lumber rests in
some measure, we believe, on the shoulders of
lumbermen who have not properly guarded
against fires, but have been content to rely
upon the insurance granted by companies often
too lenient in respect to the risks they are will-
ing to assume. Greater distinction should
have been made between establishments which
actually invite fire and those which have been
so arranged and equipped as to reduce the fire
hazard to the minimum.
LUMBER EXPORTS AND IMPORTS.
The statistics of lumber exports and imports
which are to be found in the last annual report
of the Department of Trade and Commerce,
while not indicative of expansion, are in-
structive and suggestive and afford abundant
food for reflection. With the vast quantity of
timber which this country still possesses, it is
surely an anomaly that our imports of lumber
should appreciably increase while our exports
are declining. Yet such is the case.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1904,
timber products classed as unmanufactured
wood were exported from Canada to the value
of $32,990,057, as compared with $36,268,689
for the previous year, a decrease of $3,378,632.
The value of unmanufactured wood imported
into Canada for the last fiscal year was
$7,715,697, as compared with $5,483,318 in
1903, an increase last year of $2,232,379.
The items which make up these figures will be
found on page 19.
The export lumber trade of Canada is not
confined to the United States, and lighter
shipments to Great Britain are responsible for
a portion of the falling off in export business.
The lumber imported into Canada, however,
comes almost entirely from the United States,
so that by an analysis of the exports and im-
ports as affecting that country we may learn
the trend of the trade. The exports of un-
manufactured wood from this country to the
United States for the fiscal year of 1904 were
in value $14,945,783, while for the previous
year they were $16,918,403, thus showing a
decline last year of $1,972,610. The value of
the imports from the United States last year
was $6,802,262, as against $4,832,280 in 1903,
an increase last year of $1,969,982. The result
of the past year’s business has therefore been
largely in favor of the United States as com-
pared with 1903, and it is quite probable that a
comparison of the trade of previous years would
show a tendency in the same direction.
For every condition there must be a cause.
That the lumber exports to the Unitéd States
are declining at the same time that the im-
ports are increasing is doubtless due in a large
measure to the conditions of inequality govern-
ing the trade. The Canadian lumber manufac-
turer is willing and able to compete on equal
grounds with the foreign manufacturer, but it
is unreasonable to expect that he can manu-
facture his lumber any cheaper or prosper in
business unless afforded an equal measure of
protection with his competitors.
To the deputation of lumbermen who re-
cently interviewed Sir Wilfrid Lauier asking
for an import duty on lumber corresponding
to the American duty, he replied by asking them
to trust the Goverment. If he were sincere in
this remark, we may expect favorable action at
an early date. It cannot be said that the lum-
‘year to year, as has been the experience of the
2
bermen have been too hasty. They have carried
the burden of unfair discrimination for some
years, and are to-day more convinced than ever
of the justice of their demands.
THE LIEN LAW.
The Western Retail Lumbermen’s Associa-
tion, of Winnipeg, are endeavoring to secure
some amendments to the Lien laws of Manitoba
and the Territories. The present law of these
provinces provides that a lien upon a building
must be placed within thirty days after the ma-_
terial is delivered and be realized upon within
uinety days. It is contended that;the time limit
thus fixed does not operate satisfactorily in —
practice and frequently causes unnecessary hard-
ship. Lumber and other building material is
usually purchased in the spring of the year,
and if the farmer is unable to pay for the ma-
terial at,time of delivery, it is improbable that his
financial circumstances will change materially
within. the next three months while his grain
is growing. The amendment desired by the
lumbermen, and which seems of a logical
nature, is that the time allowed in which to
realize upon a lien should be extended to, say,
nine months, and in the intervening period
the farmer would be given an opportunity of
marketing his crop. A lien law which is
thoroughly workable in its application is of
great importance in an essentially agricultural |
country such as Western Canada, and itis to 3
be hoped that such amendments will be made
as will best protect the interests of all con-
cerned,
THE HARDWOOD INDUSTRY.
It is a question if the white pine production
in Canada has not already reached its zenith
and whether, irrespective of market demands,
it will not gradually decline in volume from
white pine states of Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota. This does not mean, however, a
reduction in lumbering operations, but rather
that the deciduous trees will provide the raw
material for our saw mills to a greater extent
than in the past. We possess in plenty such
hardwoods as birch, maple, elm, ash and bass-
wood, and the development of the industry is
yet in its infancy. The railroads that are being
built in the northern part of Ontario and Que-
bec, as well as the Grand Trunk Pacific, will
open.up much new hardwood territory which -
has been as yet untouched. :
By the utilization of our hardwoods the
country will be greatly benefitted, as they will
be consumed by home industries. The growth _
of manufacturing establishments using hard- —
woods as their raw material has been such that — 5
the demand is rapidly overtaking the supply, pt
and the export trade in hardwood lumber may
soon become extinct. Dealers who a few
years ago shipped large quantities of lumber
to the United States are to-day giving no at-
tention to that market, so great has become —
the domestic requirements.
Just a suggestion : Would not the hard-
wood trade be greatly benefitted by the adop-
tion of some standard for inspection rules ?
The United States is making progress in this
direction. Why not we?

let issued by C. Lembcke & Co., 128 Water
St., New York, who are the representatives of
Huelsberg & Co., of Charlottenburg, Ger-
many, the owners of the patents taken out by
Mr. Rueping.
In the new Rueping process the seasoned
wood is subjected for about half an hour to one
_ hour to an air pressure of 60 to 65 pounds, so
that all cells must be filled with compressed
air. This is the principal difference between
the old and the new method ; with the former
the air is removed from the wood cells by a
vacuum, whereas with the latter the wood is
filled with compressed air.
Without reducing the pressure in the im-
pregnating cylinder, the warmed impregnating
fluid is then forced from the tar reservoir into
the impregnating cylinder by means of a some-
what higher pressure, say of about 65 to 75
pounds. In proportion to the quantity of tar
entering the impregnating cylinder, air is per-
mitted to escape through a valve, in order to
make room. for an equivalent volume of im-
pregnating fluid. At the same time it must be
borne in mind to allow only such a quantity of
air to escape as cannot impair the maintenance
of the pressure of 60 to 65 pounds. When the
wood in the cylinder is completely covered
with the impregnating fluid the pressure, ac-
cording to the dimensions and qualities of the
material, is to be increased to 105 to 225
pounds, Under this increased pressure the
impregnating fluid will penetrate into the cells
of the wood.
It might appear that through the forcible
advance of the fluid the compressed air con-
tained in the wood would be forced to the
interior and there form a kind of cushion or
piston which would render an*impregnation of
this sort impossible. But, owing to the high
pressure, the tar-oil, in consequence of the
capillary action of wood and its adhesive prop-
erties, moves along the cell walls into the
innermost parts of the wood, soaking them en-
tirely, by which the compressed air contained
in the cells will be still more compressed and
at the same time entirely kept in suspension
and inclosed by the advancing tar oil.
When the material is sufficiently impregnated
the pressure with great energy, through its
expansion, will force as much of the impreg-
nating fluid out of the wood as does not adhere
to the cell walls, and this surplus is thus made
to flow back into the creosote tank. This is
the distinctive feature of the Rueping process.
Accordingly, no more fluid can remain in the
wood than is necessary for impregnating, coat-
ing or saturating the cell walls, etc., and this
is the only important object in view for the
preservation of wood. In each case the pres-
sure can be regulated in such a way that only
a minimum quantity of fluid (or larger quan-
tities, as required) remain in the cells of the
impregnated wood. The oozing of the super-
fluous tar-oil may be increased and accelerated
by exposing the impregnated wood to a vacuum
for some time. By this means a further quan-
tity of from 5 to 10 per cent. of the impregnat-
ing fluid left in the wood may be regained.

Mr. D. L. Lincoln, the other new director,

started in the lumber business as a boy, first
working in the retail yards of the F. M. Slagle

managership of that department and later
went on the road as auditor for the same com-

Mr. Lincoln tells a story of his first day in
the lumber business. He was employed un-

night his father enquired how he had got
along. ‘‘Well, I’ve been pretty well ‘posted’
for to-day,” replied the youthful lumberman.
Leaving the Slagle Company, Mr. Lincoln
went to Minneapolis, where he did the buying

TREATING STAVES AND HEADING IN
DRYING.
Is there anything new in or about a stave fac-
tory? New ideas or new methods are not very
plentiful, nor does there seem to be a tendency
toward absolutely correct practice, which would
be new to everyone in some respects, and in
every respect to some. Handling the waste in
a crowded place is one of the problems to work
out and each place has to to work out its own
solution. One of the solutions seen lately is a
burner on the ground. It is not always pos-
sible to put up a standing burner, for they are
costly, but it usually is an easy matter to put
in a ground burner, as there is little else re-
quired but the brick and some sort of a stack.
This burner is nothing but a brick oven with
the stack at the end, and the pipe from the
shaving fan leads in the end at a door, at
the top, and this simple arrangement burns
up a vast amount of waste in a day. It is
nearly full as a usual thing at night, but in an
hour or so all the waste is consumed. Its
simplicity is its chief feature.
In handling the manufactured stock, if the |
pieces of heading or the staves were turned
over at the right time, which would be as soon
as they show signs of turning up from exposure,
they would draw back to shape and be practi-
cally new. These top staves curl on account of
the greater exposure to the atmosphere without
the weight of other stock on them to hold them
down. When stacked in the open air, the stock
will curl and warp much worse than when
stacked under sheds, because the exposed
surface dries and contracts while the under and
more covered surface remains moist and ex-
panded. Turning them over reverses the pro-
cess that twists them, straightens them and
makes them as good as new and fit for use.
At some factories, it is often noted that large
lots of staves and heading are left scattered
along the road, when they are being transferred
from where they are made to the dryng stacks,
in piles of as many as a hundred, and often a
line of staves or heading is piled along near
where they are to be stacked at some time,
long enough, often, to have all the top pieces
warped and twisted from the sun. When they
are stacked, the warped pieces go in pile first,
and the straight pieces on them. This splits
and ruins them, in consequence of the weight
of the top pieces causing these crooked pieces
to straighten out. Then the top pieces of the
stack warp and spoil, showing a large percent-
age of loss on account of the warped pieces at
the bottom or middle of the stack as well as at
at the top. There are two results to be sought
_the head, which approximately corresponds to a
er | eee
for in stacking cooperage stock for dryng :First, _
to place each piece so it will have the greatest —
exposure to atmospheric action, so that the air —
will circulate freely through the stack, and,
as nearly as possible, touch every part of every _
piece. The next object is to hold the pieces —
so that the drying process will not change
the shape of them. rR
To insure that staves will curve edgewise to ye
conform to the circumference of the barrel, they
are cut on a 10-inch radius, so that, for flour,
salt or other slack barrels, they nearly fit without __
bending edgewise, inside the hoops and outside
20-inch circle. The matter of maintaining that
curve is all-imporant. Any process that will
tend to make the stave flat is to be avoided,
therefore staves are never stacked, in a
circular stack, as heading -is. -
To stack staves for drying it is the usual prac-
tice to begin on the foundation by laying down
three staves far enough apart so that the length
of a stave will cover all three, reaching the two ‘
outer edges, the thickness of a stack equaling , 4
the length of a stave. Then threeother staves
are placed in a line with and lapping the ends of
the three first placed, continuing to place threes
until the desired length of stack has been ob-'
tained, remembering always to place cut staves
with the backs down and making the laps one
inch. Some people double the staves, laying on
two at a time, fitting together as one, always
placing two instead of the single stave, the
stacking being otherwise the same as for single
staves. The man doing the piling can handle
them more rapidly by keeping two together
and many believe that staves stacked in this
way will dry better and keep a better shape
than when stacked singly, claiming the staves
are made stronger to resist wrapping when
piled in this manner.
The result sought when stacking cooper
stock with the ends lapped is to facilitate the
passage of air between the pieces. It is also. 4a
desirable to maintain the stability of the stacks, _
therefore they are ‘‘tied” together with staves
at intervals of ten layers, and at each stave — ; a
length one stave is placed across the stack and a
the end of another stave is thrust into the pile =
next, while one end lays on the pile being ~—
built, in which they are firmly fastened by the _
weight of the staves above them when the —
stack is complete. Each new stack being
built should be started 18 inches from the last
one finished. Triple stacking, as here men-
tioned, is desired for staves, also for heading
where economy is an item.
Triple stacks of heading are much the same
MABCH, 1905
THE CANADA LUMBERMAN
21
as if made of staves. The stacks are broad
enough for two pieces of heading to reach the
edges. A large quantity of stock can be placed
in a limited floor space, on account of its com-
pactness, and from its steadiness the pile can
be built to a great height, while the stack is
materially larger in floor space.
The only objection to these high stacks is in
passing the stock up to such a height, or from
one pile to another to reach the highest point
at which the heading is to be stacked. When
these stacks are to be made very high, care
must be taken to start on a level foundation,
strong enough to stand the weight, any giving
of the bottom rendering a pile likely to fall, a
result often seen from carelessness in this de-
tail of the work.
Asa rule, staves may be placed on the mar-
ket without being perfectly dry more success-
fully than can heading. For salt barrels staves
from five to six weeks old are often used, if the
‘barrels are filled with salt at once, owing to
the damp nature of the salt. When barrels
are to be stored empty they should be made
from perfectly dry staves, while flour barrels
should be made from staves from 15 to 20
weeks old, if the weather has been favorable,
and longer during wet weather, before the
staves are jointed.
Staves may be passed through a kiln and
dried in a week or less, but it is doubtful if
they are as good as the air-dried stock. In the
kiln-dried stock, the ends are held covered by
the other staves in lapping, allowing the mid-
dles to cure by the action of the heat from the
edge, which causes them to fall short in joint-
ing, causing a greater number to be put in the
No. 2 pile and in the culls.
A two-piece or double stack is one in which
two pieces are placed side by side on the foun-
dation, then two other pieces are placed a little
in advance and in line with the first two, on
which they must lap. Where economy of space
is not to be considered, and where the most
complete exposure to the action of the atmos-
phere is desirable, heading may be stacked in
circular or single tier stacks, thus securing the
greatest exposure obtainable. The circular
stack is made by laying out a circle as large
as may be desired
ing. Heading placed on the circle, with each
alternate piece two inches less than the length
apart, will furnish the start or foundation for
lapping each succeeding piece, up to an in-
definite height. Heading stacked in this man-
ner is securely held against warping, and has
almost the entire surface protected from rain,
even in the open air. The weight of the stacks
has a tendency to hold the heading straight,
and the slow drying of the ends goes a long
way towards preventing end-checks.
Circular stacking is a favorite method for
tight cooperage, because heading for oil, whis-
ky, vinegar and other tight packages is sawed
or riven thin on the heart edge and thick on
the sap edge. In rived stock the thickness at
heart and sap is very great. In sawed tight
heading, the difference is more regular, though
indefinite, because if the machine is set to saw
5/8 inch on the heart and 1 inch on the sap at
14 inches wide, then when sawing pieces 6 or
8 inches wide it will make the thin edge
thicker or the thick edge thinner, keeping the
pieces with the grain, sawing a waste piece
from the sap side or edge and not reaching to
es
with or without mark- |
the heart. The thick and thin edges of tight
heading make it accommodate itself nicely to a
circular stack, because the thin edge is always
turned inward, which, fitting and lying snugly,
makes a neat and firm stack. Placing the
thich edge outward gives it more exposure to
the sun and air. If stacked in straight stacks
the thick and thin edges would necessarily be
placed alternately and only a few thick edges
be exposed to the sun.
The undesirable features about triple stack-
ing are that the stack is thick and compact,
while the usual excessive laps hinder or almost
prevent the proper circulation of air round the
into whose hands the business falls to decide
on a line of procedure, and see to it that all the
details are attended to correctly. It is as easy
(and a good deal safer) to do work correctly,
as it is to do it wrong, and a good deal more
profitable. —Packages.

staves or heading. Staves for tight cooper-
age are often stacked edge upward across the
stack. A layer is placed full length of the
stack, then a string of staves placed on each
end of these, on edge, full length of stack ;
then more staves on edge, and so on indefi-
nitely. This method has its good features, as
well as those that are not so good. It exposes
the ends, there being no lap to keep the end
from drying. Edge stacking is desirable for
beer stock, on which, being extra thick at the
ends, lapping is quite objectionable. The
edge-wise method is sure to put all the weight
of the stock above on the broadest pieces,
hence the stacks cannot be built very high, no
matter how desirable it would be to-economize
floor space.
All these details, unimportant individually,
become very important collectively. The little,
Quebec, and which is the largest wheel that ,
has ever been constructed. It is 30 feet from
base to top ; 22 feet wide; weighs 364,000
pounds ; shaft is of forged steel, solid, 32 feet
3% inches long, 22 inches in diameter in cen-
ter, tapering to 16 inches on the generator
side and 10 inches on the other side ; the dis-
tance from center to center of shaft bearings is
27 feet ; the shaft weighs 10 tons ; the runner
is of bronze and weighs 5 tons; the intake is
10 feet diameter.
The wheel proper is intended to operate at a
speed of 180 revolutions per minute, under a
head of water varying from 125 to 135 feet.
The quantity of water going through the tur-
bine when developing the full power is 395,000
gallons per minute. Some idea of the quantity
of water which this means may be gathered
from the fact that it is equal to a river 88 feet
wide and 10 feet deep, haying a constant flow
of 69 feet per minute,

LUMBER INSURANCE IN CANADA,

fact that companies insuring lumber risks in Canada
make no money.

average of the stock companies, has been reduced to
14.17 per cent., while the total cost of our Canadian
insurance is 127% percent. on the premiums, you can
readily understand we cannot continue this Canadian
business under any such record of its costing us 27/4
per cent. more than we get for it.
Canadian companies; one or two of which are owned
largely by the lumber interests and operated, presum-
ably, in the interest of the lumber trade, show the
same unfortunate results on their underwriting. Assess-
ment after assessment has to be called on their stock-
holders, as each previous assessment is used up, in
order to keep their indemnity good to their policy
holders. }
I have noted two conditions in policies which, to my
mind, have contributed in a measure to this result.
First, the condition as specified ‘‘ full co-insurance ”
on lumber risks. Whether it is a mill on which full co-
insurance is demanded as a.condition of the contract,
and the assured can recover the full value in event of a
fire, or whethér it is insurance on lumber stocks, where
the assured is expected to carry insurance to full value
—in either case the principle is wrong, the assured’s
interest in protecting the property is wanting. “
On mill insurances, we have found prevailing in the
south a clause entitled the ‘‘ Three-fourths cash value
clause,” reading as follows :
‘THREE-FOURTHS CASH VALUE CLAUSE.
It is understood and agreed to be a condition of this
insurance, that in the event of loss or damage by fire
to the property insured under this policy, this company
shall not be liable for an amount greater than three-
fourths ef the actual cash value of each item of property
insured by this policy (not exceeding the amount
insured on each such item) at the time immediately
preceding such loss or damage ; and in the event of
additional insurance—if any is permitted thereon—then
this company shall be liable for its proportion only of
three-fourths of such cash value of each item insured at
the time of the fire, not exceeding the amount insured
on each such item.”
The object of this clause is to prevent the assured
collecting, in the event of a fire, over three-fourths of
the cash value of each. item of the policy, and insuring
as good care to prevent fires as his 25 per cent. interest
in any total loss will secure. This principle should be
applied to all mill insurances, and the same principle,
in effect, should be applied to all lumber stock insur-
ances, as will be later explained.
Our second most prolific cause of loss may be the
stipulation that, as to the adjustment of loss, the market
values of stock shall be the basis of the adjustment of
the loss. That is, the insurance companies shall pay,
in the event of a loss, just as much as a sale of the
property in the open market would net at the location
of the fire on the date it occurs. This principle is

companies carrying full insurance the most prompt and
best paying customers for the stock held on a falling
market.
To guard against this, we propose first, that the
‘basis of the adjustment shall be the market value the
stock would net to sell for at the location of the fire on
the date thereof. ‘
In sawing out a cut of logs, the stock varies in value
according to the grade and kind of lumber, therefore
the market value of each kind and grade is certainly
the most fair basis for the adjustment, but the payment
should never be in full of that value.
Our idea is that the insurance stipulated for should
be only 70, 75 or 80 per cent. of the value, as may be
agreed on, and correspondingly the payment should
only be 70, 75 or 80 per cent. of the market value per
M. feet in event of a fire.
I believe the adoption of this feature, as per the
following clause, would tend in a measure to reduce
the fire loss.
‘* LIMIT OF LIABILITY ON LUMBER.
In the event of fire loss the basis for adjustment shall
be the fet market value at which the lumber could be
sold at the location on the date of the fire.
The liability of this company shall be limited to 807%
of the said market value—1,ooo’ for each grade and
kind of stock destroyed.
In the event of additional insurance whether valid or
not, this company’s liability shall be limited to its pro-
portion of 80% of the net market value—at which the
lumber could be sold at the location on the date of the
fire.”
Again, another measure of protection should be
inserted in all policies covering lumber stocks, in the
nature of a ‘‘ Locatfon Clause,” which we find univer-
sally applied in some sections and reading as follows:
“LOCATION CLAUSE APPLYING TO LUMBER.
Provided that whenever lumber covered by this
policy shall be separated by spaces of 100 feet, this
insurance shall apply specifically on each separate
location, as the value of lumber in each location bears
to the total value.”
The object of this may be illustrated by the fact that
on one occasion we found the Lumber Mutual insuring
lumber ‘‘located on switch track leading from main
line of railroad to mill.”
We found this switch track about two miles and a
half long. We found five separate and distinct piling
grounds between the main line and the mill. We
found the assured carrying $10,000: insurance blanketed
as above. By carefully keeping about the same value,
$10,000 or $12,000 worth at each separate piling
ground or yard, the assured was very sharply getting
insurance on $50,000 or $60,000 worth of stock and
being fully protected with $10,000 insurance. In fact,
he was protecting five distinct and separate risks for
one premium.
This about equalled the proposition of the Wisconsin
insurer who, on one occasion, divided his yard by a
main thoroughfare three hundred feet wide between
the piles, and then divided the piling sections into four
separate spaces on each side of this main thoroughfare
by 200 feet clear spaces, thus leaving 200 feet clear
space one way and 300 feet the other, and by piling
about $25,000 worth of stock in each location or piling
space and then insuring the lumber by a blanket form
for $25,000, he proposed to practically insure eight

distinct and separate risks aggregating $200,000 value
for one premium in $25,000 value.
These are only illustrations of the chances the com-
panies may take, except they protect themselves by
proper clauses in policy contracts.
I am not suggesting that a majority, or any large
proportion of the lumber trade, desire these advan-
tages in their policy contracts, or are dishonest in any
particular. We have found the claims for losses so far
presented to the Lumber Mutual so fair that, in ten
years, we have never had a reference in any case, as
to any loss, and never contested but one loss, but when
risks are taken at rates varying anywhere from 14 per
cent. to 6 per cent., it is readily understood that if only —
one policy holder in twenty or one policy in sixty might
take advantage of the companies in this way and have
losses, that the difference would be marked as between _
a successful insurance business and an unsuccessful
one. os -
I think I may have explained why Canadian insurance ~
in the lumber manufacturing districts is not profitable —
insurance, according to our record, and not profitable _ of

according to the experience of some Canadian com-
panies whose records we have noted. '
Anyone wanting policies of the Lumber Mutual Fire
Insurance Company of Boston will have to allow us to
insert such conditions of contract in the policies as will
enable it to protect itself in the ways suggested from
such unprofitable features as recited above, that it may
continue to progressively increase its dividends now
earned and paid at 33% per cent. from ordinary stock
company rates. Yours truly,
W. C. JOHNSON, President.
LOOK FOR THE MAKER’S NAME OR
TRADEMARK. |
In all lines of merchandise, goods which have be-
come well and favorably known are often imitated and
sold to the consumers with the assurance that they are
‘just as good” asthe a:ticles which bear the maker's
name or trademark, while as a matter of fact such a
goods are often ‘‘seconds” or goods of inferior quality,
for which reason the maker will not show the name or
trademark under which he has built up a valued repu-
tation for quality. 5.
Manufacturers usually make several grades of goods, :
and are careful that their best grades shall bear their
name or trademark to advertise the excellence of their
products, and it follows that they are not only willing —
but anxious to immediately replace any article so
guaranteed to have been made by them and which may
prove defective in any way. This is especially true ’
with articles usually sold by hardware stores. It isa
common practice with manufacturers of these lines to
dispose of their inferior grades under what is known
to the trade as ‘“‘special brands,” and also to furnish
such goods to buyers of large quantities, marked with
the buyer’s ‘“‘private brand”; needless to add that
private brand goods, bought from whichever manu-
facturer will make the lowest price on a season’s
quantity, carry no assurance of quality, and it be-
hooves the consumer who desires quality and manufac-
turer’s guarantee to see that goods bear maker's
name of trademark. ;

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
There is plainly evident a disposition to
buy lumber to meet near-by requirements.
The hope of a decline in prices has, it ap-
pears, been abandoned, and consumers
are now willing t2 consider quotations
which two months ago were quickly
turned down. The business community
generally are looking forward to a year
of prosperity in all branches of industry,
and under such conditions lumber
prices are certain to be sustained. Over-
production could easily bring about a re-
action in values, but nothing approaching
overproduction has occurred ; in tact,
operations in the woods this winter have
been unusually light, due to conditions
previously mentioned.
Considerable lumber is changing hands.
Dealers report orders on their books to
keep them busy for some time, and more
business would doubtless be placed but
for the uncertainty of delivery owing to
snow blockades. Disputes with the rail-
ways are numerous, and as these often
involve increased charges, the buyer of
lumber prefers to wait until conditions are
more favorable for getting his stock when
wanted.
The first sale of square pine this season
has been recorded, J. Burstall & Com-
pany, of Quebec, securing the Madawaska
production by Jf. R. Booth. The price is
said to correspond closely to last year’s
figures.
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK,
The lumber trade of the Eastern Prov-
inces is at a very low ebb, due to the
stormy weather which has been experi-
enced. The railroads have been com-
pletely tied up, making shipments by rail
an impossibility. The deep snow has al-
so interfered with logging operations,
which have been abandoned in some dis-
tricts. These conditions, while exerting
a temporary unfavorable effect upon the
market, will mean increased activity in
the spring. All indications point in the
direction of higher prices for both British
and United States specifications. New
Brunswick cedar shingles are exception-

Lath are in relatively strong demand.
UNITED STATES.
All the lumber producing districts of the
United States have now fallen into line
with the stronger tone. The Pacific Coast
situation has been improved by the advance
put into effect by the Pacific Coast Lumber
Manufacturers’ Association, and while the
advance will not average above 50 centsa
thousand, it is decidedly reassuring as
showing the changed attitude of the trade.
Southern pine is very strong. Conditions
for logging throughout the yellow pine
states were unfavorable during January
and February, and the mills will not have
a large stock of logs, so that prices are
likely to continue firm throughout the
season. The strength of yellow pine is
aiding the sale of white pine, which is
moving in moderate volume. The largest
single transaction so far this season took
place last week at Duluth. Manufacturers
are asking higher prices on low grade
stock, the supply of which is none too
plentiful.
The improvement in the hardwood trade
has been maintained. In Michigan prices
are about $15 for maple, $18 for birch and
$20 for basswood at the mill. The hard-
wood production of Michigan last year
showed a considerable expansion, and the
fact that prices did not decline to any
extent is doubtless due to an increased
consumption. The supply of ash appears
to be getting smaller, inch being in good
demand. Birch is quite active and is
being purchased in large blocks by con-
suming industries.
During the past two weeks there has
been some accumulation of white pine
lath, but up to the present prices have
not weakened. Shingles are reported to
be a little firmer, although prices are
irregular and no general advance has
taken place.
GREAT BRITAIN.
While conditions in Great Britain are
undoubtedly on the mend, the timber
trade does not appear to have realized the
full benefit of the general improvement in
other branches of industry. The demand
is still a little slow. A revival in the
_building trade would greatly strengthen
the situation and induce more ready
buying of lumber. Representatives of
Canadian shippers are now in England,
but have not been able, so far as can be
learned, to close many contracts. On
the other hand, however, the market is
firm, and merchants holding either pine
or spruce deals are disposed to wait for a
further recovery in the market before dis-
posing of them. At Liverpool there is a
scarcity of 3x7 inch, which size is used
in large quantities for new cotton mills.
The price now asked is £7 a standard,
whereas two months ago dealers were
willing to accept £6 5s. Thelarge reduc.
tion in spruce stocks generally has encour-
aged the dealers to endeavor to recoup
some of the losses of last year. A small
stock of spruce containing 70 per cent.
narrows, and the balance 9g inch and up,
was recently sold at £6 17s. 6d. c.i.f.
Liverpool. For pine’ higher prices are
also being asked. Cox, Long & Company,
of London, recently issued a stock sheet
quoting some first quality pine, running up
to 4 by 33 in., at £48 per standard.
STOCKS AND PRICES.
R. Lockhart, of Gash Point, Ont., has
already cut over two million feet of logs
this winter.
S. O. Fisher, of Bay City, has sold ten
million feet of lumber cut at Blind River,
Ont., to Buffalo and Toledo parties.
The British Columbia Electric Railway
Company are taking tenders for the supply
of eight thousand fir ties.
The Inglewood Pulp & Paper Company,
of Musquash, N.B., have eleven camps in
Operation this winter and expect to get
out about 15,000,000 feet of logs.
R. R. Dobell & Company, of Quebec
and London, have secured the Admiralty
contract for the supply of Canadian timber
and deals during 1905. This contract
amounts to approximately $175,000 in
value.
It is estimated that the Gibson Railway
& Manufacturing Company, of Marys-
ville, N.B., will cut 20,000,000 feet of
logs this winter. At present there is four
feet of snow on the Nashwaak head-
waters.
The largest sale of the year of lumber to
be cut in the Lake Superior district during
the coming season was made last week by
the Tower Lumber Company. The
transfer consists of 35,000,000 feet, 90 per
cent. of which is norway.
The Spanish River Lumber Company
are not logging on the Georgian Bay this
winter. They had about five millon feet
of logs held over from last year, which
will be manufactured at the Spanish River
mill of the Huron Lumber Company.
The Crown Lands Department of New
Brunswick are asking for tenders up to
Wednesday, March &th, for a license to
cut timber on two square miles on the
Magaguadavic river at Brockway, for
which Robert Vail is the applicant. The
upset price is $20 per square mile.
Statements issued by the secretaries of
the Mississippi and Wisconsin Valley
Lumbermen’s Associations show that
during January of this year the shipments
of white pine lumber were 105,000,000
feet, as compared with 79,000,000 feet for
the corresponding month in 1904.
It is reported that the Victoria Lumber
& Manufacturing Company, of Chemainus,
B.C., have secured contracts for supplying
thirty million feet of lumber to points in
the Northwest Territories during the
present year. The Chemainus mills have
on hand a large number of logs, and, with
their foreign trade, will be kept busy this
season.

HARDWOODS.
Of the hardwood market the Mississip-
pi Valley Lumberman says:
‘‘ The actual movement of hardwood
has been practically at a standstill during
the past week. Snow blockades have ser-
iously interfered? with the car supply and
considerable stock which was in transit
has been delayed many days beyond all
calculations. A temporary lull has come
over the market, and while ordinarily
there is nothing brisk at this time of the
year, the conditions have been aggravated
by the widespread storms and cold. The
factory demand is still the lite of this mar-
ket. It has been steady in volume since
the first of the year and shows a decided
tendency to increase with the year. De-
mand for ail factory products has been
steadily growing and factories have been
meeting this with more extended opera-
tions. Their stocks were low at the
opening of the year and this has com-
pelled them to purchase somewhat more

briskly in the market. The country yard
trade shows some life. Orders for mixed
cars with the usual proportion of hard-
wood items are becoming more frequent.
The snow storms have interfered with
shipments but the orders continue to come
and every indication, at present, points to
an early spring demand from the country.
Flooring is in good demand in the cities
and considerable of this stock is moving.
Prices are holding closely to the list on
flooring and there are no surplus stocks
seeking purchasers. The oaks are in
steady demand but the supply seems to be
better than it was a year ago and during
the earlier part of last summer. Bass_—
wood is stronger than it has been for
many months and during the last week
some good sales of this lumber were re-
ported at prices considerably higher than
a year ago.”
The mill of the McRae Lumber Com-
pany at Hosmer, B.C., has been sold by
the Sheriff to F. J. Watson, who is under-
stood to be acting for a client. The price
was $7,700, although the mill complete
cost in the neighborhood of $15,000.
L. M. Shepard, doing a wholesale lum-

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER.
Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)
VANCOUVER, B. C., February 1gth,
1905.—Conditions generally are improv-
ing, and mills are cutting with the pros-
rect of a good trade this spring. One
thing that’ will help restore the market in
the Territories is the action of the Pacific
Coast Manufacturer’s Association, the
members of which are in the neighboring
states, in increasing the price to the ex-
tent of about 50 cents all along the line.
No. 1 and No. 2 5-8 fir ceiling and No. 1
and No. 2 fir drop siding were increased
$1 a thousand, and all six inch fir ceiling
was advanced $1 a thousand higher than
the four inch. Lath went up 25 cents.
per M, and advances were made ini x 4
and 1 x 6 common boards and fencing,
shiplap, fir joists and scantlings and tim-
bers and cedar siding. These increases
had been expected for some time, but will
not affect the millmen on this side of the
line. Naturally, if higher prices are
charged for American lumber there should
be more of a chance in the Northwest for
the Canadian article.
Logs are still going up, and the top
notch figure of $9 is beginning to be quot-
ed. With the opening cf the spring trade
the demand is increasing, and a large
number of camps are being re-opened and
new ones started up.
It is reported on pretty good authority
that the Chemainus mills have secured
contracts for the supplying of 30,000,000
feet of lumber to points in the Territories
during this season. Shipment is facili-
tated by the bringing of loaded cars from
Vancouver island on barges.
General regret is felt among the lum-
bermen in the west because of the untime-
ly death of Mr. W. R. Beatty as a result
of injuries sustained in the fire which de-
stroyed the boarding house of the Arrow-
head Lumber Company on the 6th instant.
The fire was caused by a dog upsetting a
lamp. Mr. Beatty had only returned from
the east the evening previous. R. Tag-
gart, a saw filer in the employ of the com-
pany, was burned to death in the same
fire.
Another fire took place on the 11th in-
stant, when the dry kilns of the E. H.
Heaps Company, at their No. 2 mill at
Ruskin, were burned. The destruction
was total, the loss being between $8,000
and $9,000, with insurance.
Several cargoes of lumber are being
shipped to Japan, some having already
gone from this port, whlle others are
loading. The German ship Neck arrived
in port last week from Eagle Harbor to
take on lumber for Yokohama. She is the
largest which has loaded here for some
months.
Americans are steadily becoming more
largely interested in timber in this pro-
vince. The deal which has been pending
for some months has been consummated
and capitalists from the state of Washing-
ton have acquired large limits on Vancou-
ver island, the principal portion of which
are E. & N. railway lands. The price
paid was in the neighborhood of $250,000.
Another company is to take 26,000,000
feet of timber off a reserve on the Camp-
bell river, and Dan McLeod left here a
few days ago to start operations.
Large timber limits are owned in this
province by Thomas Merrill, Aaron P.
Bliss and Clark L. Ring, of Saginaw,
Mich.; Thomas D. Merrill, of Duluth ;
and Richard D. Merrill, of Seattle, but no
mills will be erected here util the Gov-
ernment gives assurance that further
taxes will not be levied. These men are
establishing a large industry in Washing-
ton, but it is stated export cannot be made
from their limits in British Columbia.
THE BARBADOS MARKET.
Under date of February rith, Messrs.
S. P. Musson, Son & Company, report as
follows :
‘The schooner Kestrel, from Lunen-
burg, N.S., to ourselves, with a mixed
cargo of white pine, is the only arrival we
have to note, but she proceeded to Trini-
dad on the strength of a better offer for
her cargo than we elicited here. The
deck load of the Margaret M. Riley’s car-
March 1, 1905
—
°—
0, to which we alluded in our last, was
placed by us at $26.30 for merchantable
and $18.60 for second quality white pine,
and $22.10 for shipping and $16.10 for
second quality spruce, while our neigh-
bors inform us that they obtained similar
prices for her inboard cargo. Our mar-
ket for white pine is rather heavily
stocked, and while shipping spruce is in
light stock and would probably bring late
rates, second quality is not wanted, re-
cent arrivals having principally consisted
of this description. No arrivals of shin-
gles to report, and stocks are being
gradually reduced. Next arrivals of both
Long Gaspe and Laying cedar should
meet with a ready sale at remunerative
prices.”
SHIPPING MATTERS.
The following charters are reported :
Steamer Pontiac, St. John, N.B., to w.c.
England, two trips, deals, 35s.; a steamer
of 1,800 standards, West Bay, N.S., to
w.c. England or e.c. Ireland deals,

A number of lumber charters are
reported from British Columbia. Current

GREAT CONCATENATION AT TORONTO.
Friday, February 1oth, 1905, will long be
remembered by the large number of Hoo-Hoo
members who were fortunate enough to attend
the concatenation in Toronto. To say that the
affair was a splendid success conveys but a
_ meagre impression of the exuberant enjoyment
which was afforded the hundred and more
wearers of the black cat button. The Toronto
_ Hoo-Hoo had been active for many days, and
had made arrangements at McConkey’s for the
reception-of a large class of purblind kittens,
in which they were not disappointed. Trains
from all directions brought their delegations,
1 and withal there was a merry time.
; Arcanoper W. C. Laidlaw, of the Supreme
Nine, who has now become an adept in the art
of holding concatenations, extended a guiding
_ hand, although the efficient work of Vicegerent
Snark D. Ferguson, of London, showed him
to be complete master of the situation. The
___ officers were :
_ Snark, D. Ferguson, London.
~—_-- Senior Hoo-Hoo, J. H. Lavallee, Orillia.
-—_—s« Junior Hoo-Hoo, J. G. Cane, Toronto.
Bojum, A. K. McIntosh, Toronto.
Scrivenoter, W. J. Hetherington, Toronto.
Jabberwock, C. H. Belton, London.
--—s- Custocation, W. J. McBeth, Toronto.
Arcanoper, Fred Shirley, Galt.
Gurdon,’ Oscar Vogt, Galt.
The officers were assisted by Arthur Dinnis
and A. E. Eckardt, of Toronto, and Alex.
| _ Leishman, of Orillia. Twenty-four candidates
: were led blind-folded into the gardens, where
Junior Hoo-Hoo Cane held sway and allotted
a ; to each the travels which he should take o’er
4 thorny paths and ’midst mysterious tribula-
tions. All the devices of torture were in opera-
tion, but all survived, and finally the kittens
bowed their heads three times three in sub-
mission. The more robust, at the solicitation
_ of the Snark, were seated on the King’s throne,
where they delivered ‘‘ brief” addresses eulo-
gistic of the Hoo-Hoo initiation. The follow-
ing kittens answered the roll call :
Allan ‘‘ Anthracite” Leadley ; Benj. Frank-
lin Keane; Wm. Alfred Dunn; Benj. Hoge-
‘man Stewart ; Thos. Seymour Young; Mel-
ville ‘‘ Collins” Bertram; Geo. Henry Pre-
‘cious ; Adam Ely Kleippert; Chas. Leonard
_ Bailey ; Albert Edward Cates; Allan ‘‘ Quar-
Pry ” McPherson ; Geo. Everett Clipsham ;
_ Marshall Henry Brown ; Thos.
Mee: Geo. Clark Goodfellow ; Thos. Edward
_ Milburn ; David Sheur Pratt ; Dwight Joseph
Turner ; Chas. William Pitt ; Michael Joseph
Rock ; Joseph Albert McDonald ; William
Pe own Boyd ; Walter Scott Waldie ; Thos.
_Edward Manley Chew.
It was twelve o’clock before the banquet
‘was reached, but it was a magnificent treat.
The menu was quite unique, being printed on
a quarter-inch board of three-ply veneer fur-

LUMBERMEN REQUEST EQUALIZATION OF
DUTY.
A deputation of British Columbia and On-
tario lumbermen waited upon Sir Wilfrid Laur-
ier, Hon. Wm. Paterson and Senator Tem-
pleman at Ottawa on February 7th and asked
for the imposition of a duty on lumber equal
to that levied by the United States. The On-
tario lumbermen included: J. B. Miller, To-
ronto; W. D. Lummis, Sarnia; W. B. Tin-
dall, Toronto ; Jas. Playfair, Midland; W. P.
Bull, Toronto ; D. L. White, Midland; R.
Cook, South River; W. J. Sheppard, Wau-
baushene ; Wm. Lovering, Waubaushene ;
Dwight J. Turner, Midland; J. R. Booth, A.
McCormick, D. Murphy, C. McCool and Jas.

W. B. Maclean, Toronto ; J. C. Shook, Peter-
borough ; Wm. Scott, Port Arthur ; D. C.°*
Cameron, Rat Portage ; C. Beck, Penetan-
guishene; George Gordon, Sturgeon Falls, and
R. J. Younge, Secretary Canadian Manufac-
turers’ Association.
Among the British Columbia men were : T.
F. Paterson, Vancouver ; J. Hendry, Vancou-
ver; R. P. McLennan, Vancouver ; E. H.
Heaps, Vancouver; W. Stone, Vancouver ;
Hon. W. C. Wells, Victoria; R. E. Beattie and
A. Leitch, Cranbrook ; F. W. Jones, Golden,
and T. H. Moffat, Lethbridge.
Mr. F. F. Patterson asked that a duty be
imposed on lumber and shingles similar to that
imposed by the United States, and submitted
a list of mills in British Columbia which had
been shut down on account of the unfair con-
ditions which exist. He argued that the peo-
ple of the Territories are able to pay the duty.
They are, he said, better off than those of Brit-
ish Columbia. He maintained that lumber
was the one thing unprotected among the
things needed by the western farmer. In
concluding, Mr. remarked on the
success in Vancouver of the dumping clause
so far as machinery went. He would like to
see the dumping clause enforced against lum-
ber from the United States. Finally, he de-
clared that in British Columbia and Northern
Ontario there were mills enough to supply
Manitoba and the Territories, and that there
was no need for an increase in prices.
Mr. F. W. Jones, representing the mills in
the Mountain district of British Columbia,
declared that there was no danger of a
monopoly, and that the price of lumber would
not be increased.
Paterson
The lumbermen were willing
to enter into an agreement to that effect with
the Government provided they were given the
desired protection.
Mr. D. C. Cameron, of the Rat Portage
Lumber Company, said that his company had
invested $150,000 in mills and timber limits in
British Columbia, but that they could not be
profitably operated under present conditions.
Other speakers were J. Hendry, R. P.
McLennan and W. Stone, of Vancouver, R. E.
Beattie, of Cranbrook, B.C., W. P. Bull, of
Toronto, C. Beck, of Penetanguishene, and F.
Ballantyne, the latter representing the Cana-
dian Manufacturers’ Association.
The Premier replied briefly, stating that he
had been impressed by their presentation of
the facts, particularly by their exposition of
the manner in which the lumberman was

taxed while enjoying no protection.
During the campaign he
had promised an early revision of the tariff, but
in the absence of the Finance Minister the
matter was in abeyance. In conclusion, he
exhorted them to have faith in the Govern-
ment.

their ‘‘ Manganese” anti-friction metal. The new
U. S. battleship ‘‘ Nebraska,” which was lately
launched at Seattle, Wash., has its bearings lined with
this metal, and has been pronounced satisfactory by
the United States Government inspectors. ‘‘ Man-
ganese” anti-friction metal has not been on the market
very long, but it is having a large sale. It is specially
adapted for saw mills and woodworking machinery,
and several of the largest mills in Canada and the
United States use it exclusively. The company are

ATKINS ALWAYS AHEAD.
We have had hundreds of examples of the rapid rise
of individuals from comparative poverty to wealth
through sheer force of character and application and
in each instance an analysis of the process of transition
reveals the fact that the result was accomplished along
some one line of thought or endeavor.
No more remarkable evidence of the successful de-
velopment of an ‘‘ idea” can be presented than the
growth that has attended the great saw manufacturing
establishment of E. C. Atkins & Company, of Indian-
apolis, Indiana. ‘‘ Superiority in quality " was the
’ which predominated in the production of the
Atkins brand of saws from the casting of the steel ingot
to the finished article, and to no other one reason can
be attributed the wonderful demand for Atkins saws
which comes from all parts of the world.
The Atkins brand of saws may be rightly entitled to
its inception away back in the 17th century when the
Atkins ancestors were making saws in old England
and have continued there and in this country in an un-
broken line down to the present time.
Thesuccess of this institution was primarily due to
the mechanical genius of its founder, Mr. E. C. At-

His knowledge and experience
in saw making was obtained in the saw factory of his
father, then operating at Bristol, Connecticut. But the
continued and unprecedented prosperity which has at-
tended the business of the past few years is accounted
for by the fact that not only the present head of the
firm, Mr. H. C. Atkins, but every department superin-
tendent, is an expert in his particular line, and ‘‘ qual-
ity” is their watchword. ;
{ Less than twenty years ago the factory employed
about one hundred and fifty men, and opened its first
branch house at Memphis, Tenn. A short time after-
ward another branch was started in Chattanooga,
which later was removed to Atlanta. Then in rapid
succession branches were established at Minneapolis,
Minn., Portland, Ore., New York City, Chicago, Ills.,
Toronto, Ont., Seattle, Wash., and last, but not least,
San Francisco falls into line. The branch at San Fran-
cisco was opened the first of January and was necessi-
tated because of the firm’s increased business on the
Coast which could not be accommodated to advantage
from Portland and Seattle.
To take care of their rapidly increasing trade, the
firm is constantly expanding their manufacturing fa-
cilities and several new buildings have lately been
equipped and put into operation. About twelve hun-
dred men are now employed at the factories and
seventy salesmen are kept constantly on the road dis-
posing of the enormous product of saws and tools
whose trade mark, ‘‘ Atkins Always Ahead,” aptly
describes their position in the minds of appreciative
users.

The crown forests of Russia comprise 30,000,000
acres belonging to the Czar and 303,000,000 farmed by
the national exchequer. The Czar employs 27,000
wood police, who cut 12,000,000 tons a year, chiefly
for firewood. Twenty years ago wood-cutters in the
United States felled timber covering 10,000 acres
daily, but this wholesale destruction brought about —
such serious evils that of late measures have been
taken, both by public authorities and private persons,
for preserving existing trees and woods and for ex-
tensive planting where the ground is bare of timber.

THE CANADA. LUMBERMAN
FORESTRY DEPARTMENT
CANADIAN FORESTRY ASSOCIATION
MEETING.
The sixth annual meeting of the Canadian
Forestry Association will be held in the City
Hall, Quebec, on Thursday and Friday, March
gth and 10th, 1905. The Board of Directors
and the Local Committee have arranged a very
interesting programme, and a large attendance
and successful meeting is anticipated. A ban-
quet will be held on Friday evening and it is
probable that a trip on the ice-breaker Mont-
calm will be among the arrangements. The
railway companies have agreed, as in previous
years, to allow members and their wives, when
accompanying them, return passage free, re-
gardless of the number of attendants, provided
a certificate is obtained from the railway ticket
agent at the point where the ticket for Quebec
is purchased.
The following papers have been arranged
for: ‘‘The Forests of New Brunswick,” by
T.G. Loggie, Fredericton, N. B.; ‘“The Forest
Resources of Quebec,” by J. C: Langelier, De-
partment of Crown Lands, Quebec; ‘‘Forest
Insects,” by Rev. T. W. Fyles, Levis, Que.;
‘‘Forest Fires in British Columbia,” by R. W.
Brock, Queen’s University, Kingston. A sum-
mary of reports on the fires in British Columbia
during 1904, received by Mr. J. R. Anderson,
Deputy Minister of Agriculture, will be pre-
sented. Mr. Jas. Leamy, Dominion Timber
Agent at New Westminster, will also report on

225,000 acres. Of this area 105,000 acres
have already been selected by the Government.
Under the terms of the Morris law 95 per cent.
of the pine timber thereon must be cut. This
pine has been sold and the work of cutting was _
actively prosecuted last year. Nine logging
camps were established, and the cutting be-
gan early in August. Two camps, which
worked under a system of summer railroad
logging, shut down for the season in Novem-
ber. The other seven camps, in which winter
logging is being done, are still running.
The initial number of the Canadian Forestry
Journal, the official organ of the Canadian
Forestry Association, has made its appearance
and is a very creditable production. The first
article is a history of the Association by the
editor, R. H. Campbell. Then follow articles
entitled ‘‘Canada as a Field for Intelligent
Forestry,” by E. Stewart, Dominion Super-
intendent of Forestry; ‘‘Forest Influences,”
by Prof. J. B. Reynolds; ‘‘A Glance at Forest
Conditions in New Brunswick,” by G.U. Hay,
D.Sc., St. John; ‘‘The Forest Resources of
the Labrador Peninsula,” by A. H. D. Ross,
M.A., Yale Forest School, and an appropriate
reference to the late John Bertram, of Toronto,
who was a valued member of the Canadian
Forestry Association. - Several illustrations of

Arrowhead. He led the volunteers who turned out to
subdue the flames and through the energetic efforts of
himself and his men confined the loss practically to. the
boarding house. It is said that on two previous occa-
sions he nearly lost his life trying to save persons from
being burned to death. Mr. Beatty was widely known
in lumbering circles through his varied interests, being
engaged alternately in Ontario, Nova Scotia and
British Columbia. He represented Parry Sound for
two terms in the Ontario Legislature. He was perhaps

“MIDLAND” BABBITT METAL.
One of the latest scientific discoveries along the lines
ofa metal used for machinery bearings, has proven
that a triple or quadruple alloy composed of certain
percentages of pure virgin metals, properly mixed, and
fluxed with a certain chloride, will produce astonishing
results. One of the finest babbitt metals lately placed
upon the market is the ‘‘ Midland,”
the Georgian Bay Engineering Works, of Midland,
Ont. This metal seems to contain all the desirable
features that users of bearing metal could wish for.
To enumerate some of its good points, for instance, it
contains a certain amount of graphite or plumbago
which makes it a self- -lubricating babbitt.
manufactured by
It possesses
the quality of expanding on cooling g, thus filling up the
box into which it is poured, and making a neat, clean,
clear, sharp casting. Another point, “Midland” metal
stands up under the
kind of work, and is
heaviest as well as the lightest
especially compounded for high
speed machinery, such as is used in planing mills, or
heavy machinery of saw mills, in fact there is hardly a
place that this metal cannot be used for the purpose for
which it is designed. Further particulars will be cheer-
fully given by the makers, who guarantee every pound
of metal turned out by them to perform the work for
which it is wanted, and to contain nothing but the very
purest of virgin metals obtainable.

There is no process its equal for tempering circular saws. Other makers recognize this fact, as some of
them, in order to sell their goods, claim to have the same process. All such Claims are FALSE, as the
patenteé in the U. S. and ourselves are the only firms in the world who use it.
INSERTED TOOTH SAWS
Notice the improved shank. We call particular
attention to the swell which strengthens it at the weakest
part and which gives it more wear than the old style.
Shanks made in usual gauges and to fit your saws
perfectly.
SHINGLE SAWS
The quality of the “ Simonds” Shingle Saws is
proven by the fact that the largest shingle and machine
manufacturers in Canada are using them.
Run a “Simonds” and you will increase your
output.

THE TRIUMPH TURBINE
Is the most powerful wheel on the market to-day. A glance at
this cut of the centre shows that the buckets are designed to
secure the maximum of speed with great power and a free
discharge. Mr. E. S. Edmondson, of Oshawa, writes as fol-
lows under date of November 16th, 1903, regarding a 26 inch
Vertical Triumph Wheel :
‘The Wheel is strictly first-class in every particular,
and after a careful and thorough test I am prepared to say
that I believe it is the best wheel in the market for Elec-
trical purposes. It has high speed, large power, high effi-
ciency at part gate, and has practically no leakage. I am
more than pleased with the thorough and workmanlike
setting you gave me throughout.”
For horizontal settings in large Pulp Mills, Cement Mills or Electric Power Develop-
ments this Wheel has no equal. We invite your enquiries. Large catalogue to
be had for the asking.
We are always glad to submit estimates and prices on Improved Vulcan and Leffel
Turbines, Improved Lane Circular Saw Mills, Edgers, Trimmers, Slashers,
Shingle Machines, Lath Machines and all machinery of this kind.

After the minutes of the last convention had
been adopted, the Secretary submitted the
annual report of the Directors, which was, in
part, as follows:
Report of Directors.
The report of the last annual meeting was published
at the Government Printing Bureau through the kind-
ness and at the expense of the Forestry Branch of’the
Department of the Interior. This report has been dis-
tributed as usual to the members of the Association,
members of the legislative bodies throughout the Do-
minion, the Press and others. The Annual Report places
the proceedings and deliberations in a permanent form
and makes them available for reference and study.
The report for the past year is well up to the character
Mr. E. G. JOLY DE LOTBINIERE,
President-Elect of the Canadian Forestry Association.
of previous reports, both in material and illustrations,
and the thanks of the Association are due to the Do-
minion Superintendent of Forestry for so kindly ar-
ranging to carry what would have otherwise been a
necessary but heavy expense to the Association.
During the year the Association has lost some of its
most active members by death. Mr. John Bertram, a
member of the Board and one of the strongest sup-
porters of the Association, passed away after a linger-
ing illness. He took a large and helpful part in the
proceedings of the last annual meeting and the papers
he has presented to the Association at different meet-
ings have hada strong influence in the formation of
public opinion on forestry and the shaping of the forest
policy of Canada. As a member of the Ontario Forest
Commission he did good service to his own province,
and he had been called to exercise his talents ina wider
sphere as Chairman of the Dominion Transportation
Commission. His loss will be felt through a wide
circle both in public life and among his more intimate
friends. Dr. W. H. Muldrew, who was also present at
the last annual meeting, died suddenly in October after
only afew days’ illness. As Dean of the MacDonald In-
stitute at Guelph he was beginning the development of
TERMS, $1.00 PER YEAR
Single Copies, 10 Cents
work in Nature Study that promised much for the future
interest of the children in the trees and natural objects.
Mr. W. C. Caldwell, M.P.P., of Lanark, and Colonel
Thos. Higginson, Vankleek Hill, both leading lumber-
men and members of the Association, have also died
during the year.
We are sure that all the members of the Association
will sympathize fully with our honored First President,
His Honor Sir Henri Joly de Lotbiniere, and with our
Vice-President, Mr. E. G. Joly Lotbiniere, in the loss
they have sustained in the past year by the death of
Lady Joly Lotbiniere. The Board have conveyed an
expression of their sympathy to the bereaved relatives.
MEMBERSHIP.
The Secretary has made a special effort during the
year to increase the membership of the Association by
the sending out of copies of the Annual Report and in-
vitation to membership in the Association to persons
whose names were submitted by members. The result
has been fairly satisfactory and has resulted in a con-
siderable increase inmembership. This has been some-
what discounted by a falling off in Manitoba and the
North-west Territories. Following is a comparative
statement of the membership for the past two years :—

The receipts for last year were $1,845.77 and the ex-
penditure $930.66, leaving a balance on December
31st last of $915.11. The amount now standing to the
credit of the Association is $989.75, but against this is
the account for the Forestry Journal for January
amounting to $150 and the expenses of this meeting,
about $100. The thanks of the Association are again
due to the Governments of the Provinces of Ontario,
Quebec and British Columbia for the grants given by
them to the work of the Association.
OFFICIAL ORGAN.
In accordance with the instructions of the last an-
nual meeting, your Board took steps to arrange for
the publication of an official organ to be devoted to
the interests of the Association and the advancement
of the forestry movement generally. Dr. Wm. Saun-
ders, Professor John Macoun and Mr. E. Stewart were
appointed provisionally as an Editorial Committee and
Mr. R. H. Campbell as Editor and Business Manager.
The first number of the Canadian Forestry Journal, the
name decided on for the paper, was issued in January
and has been distributed to the members of the Asso-
ciation. The intention is to issue quarterly for the
present, with the hope that the future may lead to a
development that will permit of a more frequent ap-
pearance of the journal. The Board would like to im-
press on the members of the Association the necessity
for their rendering every assistance to the editorial

management to make the magazine thoroughly repre-
sentative and generally useful. The whole question of
the official organ is submitted for the consideration of
the Association, and it is desirable to have a full ex-
pression of opinion upon it.
FOREST FIRES.
The resolution passed at the last Annual Meeting
recommending the prohibition of fires for clearing in
the Province of Quebec except from the 15th June to
the 31st August was transmitted to the Government of
that Province, and that urging protection of the water-
sheds was sent to the different Governments through-
out the Dominion.
The resolution relating to the prevention of fires
along lines of railway and especially in the construction
of the new trans-continental road was transmitted to
the Dominion Government and to the representatives
of the railway companies. Replies were received from
the Department of Railways and Canals, and from the
general manager of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway
Company, stating that the question would be given
careful consideration and steps taken in the direction
indicated by the resolution. As this is a question of the
utmost importance and urgency, the Association may
very well re-affirm its attitude thereon.
Forest fires are still causing destruction in Canada,
although their extent has been largely controlled by the
fire ranging system now generally adopted throughout
the Dominion. British Columbia has, outside of the
* Railway Belt which is protected by Dominion fire
rangers, suffered the most severely, as the season was
dry throughout, and that province has unfortunately, in
spite of its great forest wealth, not provided for a fire
ranging force such as has proved effective in other
parts of Canada. In Nova Scotia, the fire warden
service established under the act passed at the last
session of the Legislature, pas proved successful in the
counties in which the system was inaugurated. The
report of the Crown Lands Department shows that
numerous fires were prevented or extinguished in their
incipiency and the loss in many ccunties, large in
previous years, has been reduced to a minimum.
Under Dominion jurisdiction, there were forty fire
rangers employed ahd the result was that there was
little destruction by forest fires except in the Crow's
Nest Pass, where ther¢ was great difficulty in controll-
ing them. The success in the railway belt in British
Columbia in preventing loss was most marked, and to
show how the cost of a. fire ranging service is saved
over and over again in the value of timber protected,
it will be permissible to quote from a letter received by
the Dominion Forestry Branch from the Columbia
River Lumber Company as follows:
‘We feel satisfied that without the fire ranging
system and the extra work which was done in the last
six weeks, practically all the timber’ tributary to
Shuswap Lake would have been destroyed and, as you
know, this amounts to a good many hundred of millions
of feet.”
TREE PLANTING.
The tree planting scheme under Federal manage-
ment in Manitoba and the North-West Territories
continues to develop. During the year 1904, 1,800,000
trees were distributed to 1027 settlers, an average to
In 1905 the distribution will be
2,000,000 trees to 1120 settlers. The Forestry Branch
has so far sent out about 5,000,000 trees and 2,000 lbs.
of tree seed. Educational work in this connection is
being done by addresses at the meetings of Farmers’
Institutes, and a forestry exhibit was shown at the Do-
minion Exhibition at Winnipeg.
each of 1752 trees.
In Ontario a beginning has been made in the setting
out of a nursery at the @ntario Agricultural College at
Guelph from which the farmers of that province may
obtain supplies of forest trees for planting. Lectures on
. forestry at Farmers’ Institutes and gatherings of a
similar nature will be given to explain the plans of the
Government and furnish general information on the
management of trees.
In the first week of January of the present year, a
Forest Congress was held at Washington, which was
attended by a number of Canadian representatives,
The Congress brought together some four hundred
people, representing not only scientific foresters and
the forest enthusiasts, but practical and leading men in
lumber industry, in railroad management, in mining. in
irrigation and manufactures, men whom the practical
necessities of the case had forced to take an interest in
forestry and who showed by their presence and active
interest that forestry is no longer a fad but a business
question of supreme national importance. The effect
of this meeting on the public of the United States should
be far-reaching, and it is a question worthy of con-
* sideration as to whether the time has not arrived to
make a special effort of a similar nature in Canada.
A committee representing your Board waited upon
His Excellency, Earl Grey, recently to ask him to be
kind enough to act as Patron of the Canadian Forestry
Association. His Excellency received the committee
most graciously and was pleased not only to consent
to give his patronage, but far exceeded their expecta-
tions by stating that he would be pleased to do any-
thing further in his power to assist the work of the
Association and suggested that, in the event of an
evening meeting being held in Ottawa during the
present season, he would be pleased to attend and
might arrange to have it held at Government House.
This kindly action of His Excellency and the evidences
of his sympathy with movements affecting the well-
being of the Dominion should give him a high place in
the respect and affection of Canadians and especially
of the members of the Forestry Association.
Mr. W. C. J. HALL,
An Active Member of the-Local Committee. .
The thanks of the Forestry Association are due to
the press for their interest in its work, and “the notice
given it in their columns from time to time, to the rail-
way companies who have again kindly granted single
fare for the annual meeting, and to kindred societies
from whom assistance has’ been received in warious
ways. . : yer
President’s Address.
Following the report of the Directors the
President gave a brief address extempore. He
had first to congratulate himself on being
President of the Association in a year when its
meeting was held in the Ancient Capital of
Canada. Here was the nursery of all the de-
velopments that have taken place in every
direction throughout the Dominion. Under
the French regime the first Crown timber regu-
lations were promulgated, and some of the
problems which confronted the framers of the
early laws have come down to the present day.
The rights of the settlers and kindred matters
are just as live questions to-day as they were
two or three hundred years ago. Mr. White
spoke of the forestry movement, and said that
the first impetus to the organization had been
given ata meeting heldin Montreal in 1882.
The good seed sown then had its results later.
Inr890the American Association held its meet-
ing in Quebec, and as the present Governor-
General, Earl Grey, had expressed his deepest
sympathy with the movement, so did the Gov- .
ernor-General of that day, Lord Stanley, who
APRIL, 1905,
—
=
had been greatly interested. The first steps
taken towards the organization of the Canadian
Association was taken, thanks to the work of
Mr. Stewart, who is present here to-day, in
1890. From that time slow, but steady progress
has been made. Canada possessed unbounded
forestry resources, and the Association desir-
ed to impress upon the Government the taking
of steps to protect and conserve those resour-
ces. One particular point was to prevent loss
by forest fires, and the fire ranging system
advocated by the Association, and first estab-
lished in a small way in the Province of Ontario,
has now been followed by every Province in
Canada. Another desire was to preserve the
watersheds of the great rivers, and also to pro-
tect the denizens of the forest. One of the
most difficult questions was to keep out set- —
tlers from land unfitted for settlement, but which
contained valuable timber. Since all varieties
of timber have taken on such value the settler
is anxious to go in, not for the agricultural
possibilities, but that he may cut and dispose of
the timber on the land. That was one of the
greatest problems with which he had to con-
tend with in Ontario, and some systematic
effort should be made to draw the line, and to
say that where land is unfit for settlement no
settler shall be allowed to go in. He hoped
that the. Association would draw up a resolu-
tion on the subject. The Association’s desire
was to create a public sentiment in favor of
forest preservation and protection. The idea
that the Association was a collection of faddists,
whose theories were impracticable, had now .
been dispelled and many leading people are
now coming in to help the movement.
The President said the membership of the
Association should be much larger than it was,
and instead of 575 members it should be 5,000,
and if the members would only exert them-
selves the number would be greatly increased.
At the morning session a paper by Prof. R.
W. Brock, of Queen’s University, Kingston,
was read by Mr. Roland D. Craig, of the
Bureau of Forestry, Ottawa, the title being
‘¢ Forest Fires in British Columbia.” This
was followed by an address on ‘‘Forest Pro-
tection on Dominion Lands in British Colum-
bia,” by Mr. James Leamy, Dominion Crown
Timber Agent, New Westminster, B. C. ,Mr.
Leamy emphasized the necessity of greater fire
protection in British Columbia, and stated that
many prospectors set fire to the woods in order
to secure a place for prospecting. The fire
rangers followed the prospectors and extin-
guished the fires. He hoped the system would
be greatly extended in the near future.
Mr. E. Stewart told of the regulations adopt-
ed for protecting the timber within the Railway
Belt in British Columbia, and was followed by
Hon. H. Bostock, Mr. F. W. Jones, and
others.
Dr. C. A. Schenck, of Biltmore, North Caro-
lina, who has charge of the Vanderbilt lands,
was called upon, and gave an_ interesting
address. He compared business forestry with
what he termed landscape forestry.and urged
that unless we had forestry on business princi-
ple, we could never have it on a large scale.
He was glad to see that in Canada the business
men realized the importance and the value of
p —- =
APRIL, 1905
—
the*question. He spoke of the importance of
Governments designating just what land is
actual forest land and what is land for agricul-
ture. All soil that is absolutely forest soil
a4 should be reserved. Government ownership was
best for this. If large tracts are required let
-the Government own them. All absolutely
- forest land should be reserved by the Govern-
ment.
- Prof. Filibert Roth, University of Michigan,
Ann Arbor, Mich., followed Dr. Schenck and
endorsed that gentleman’s views. He said
State forestry was much superior to private
forestry.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
At the afternoon session the following com-
mittee on resolutions was appointed to deal
with certain questions arising out of the report
- of the directors :—Messrs. E. Stewart, F. W.
Jones, R. H. Campbell, E. G. Joly de Lot-
_ pbiniere, T. G. Loggie, H. M. Price, Aubrey
White.
A telegram was read from Mr. J. R. Booth,
of Ottawa, as follows: ‘‘Have carefully read
re © your report, which I find very interesting ;
i. sorry I cannot attend.” A telegram was also
- read: from Hon. W. C. Edwards, M.P.,
- Ottawa, regretting his absence, and advising
’ the Association that Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who
has always taken a lively interest in the work
' of the Association, had expressed a desire to
- have a large Forestry conference called to meet
- at Ottawa during the coming summer or in the
—* autumn.
- The first paper read was by Rev. T. W.
' Fyles, of Levis, on ‘‘Forest Insects”. Mr. T.
G. Loggie, of the Crown Lands Department,
_ Fredericton, presented a paper on ‘‘The Forests
_ of New Brunswick”, which will be found in
hie this issue. ?
-_ ‘1n the absence of Hon. J. W. Longley,
Commissioner of Crown Lands for Nova
Scotia, who was to have contributed a paper,
—-—sOW*rr. Robt. Bell, Director of the Geological Sur-
vey of Canada, was called upon. He spoke
briefly of the northern forests of the Dominion,
touching upon the distribution of trees, and
instancing the vast number of species to be
found. He cited the fact that in the United
-* States and Canada combined, there were a
_ total of 340 species of forest trees, while in the
ne __ whole of Europe there were only 30. Dr. Bell
gave many interesting facts in connection with
___- his subject and many instructive circumstances
* were plated,’ in regard to forest fires in the
~ "north.
LM THE BANQUET.
On Thursday evening the friends of the
Forestry Association in the City of Quebec
tendered a banquet to the President and visit-
ae ing members. Especial arrangements had
____ been made at the Chateau Frontenac and the
event was a sumptuous affair. About one
hundred persons were seated around the festive
board, which was formed in the shape of a
horseshoe. By request, President White pre-
___ sideded. When ‘‘The King” had been duly
- honored, the Chairman proposed the toast of

SELLING AGENTS FOR B.C.
SHINGLES.
Just as we go to press, it is learned that
the Coast shingle manufacturers of British
Columbia, at a meeting held a tew days
ago, appointed the Union Lumber Com-
pany and the Export Lumber and Shingle
Company as their selling agents, sales to
be apportioned. They also adopted the
price listissued in March, 1904, less fifteen
cents off number ones and five cents off
number twos.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS. dimibcition towards conservatism. The
ONTARIO,
Manufacturers and dealers aiflie: agree
that there are no signs of depression in the
lumber trade. On the other hand, the
outlook for business is good, and in To-
ronto the season promises to be one of
unusual activity. Every week permits are
being issued for buildings representing a
large expenditure, and, barring labor
troubles, which do not now) seem prob-
able, this is likely to continue throughout
the summer season. The manufacturing
industries which consume lumber are also
working to full capacity and general
prosperity prevails.
A few large transactions in lumber have
recently taken place which indicate con-
fidence in present prices. It is the ex-
ception rather than the rule to meet a
person who is disposed to predict lower
values, and any movement in that direction
must therefore lack the assistance of pub-
lic sentiment. It would {be unwise,
perhaps, to advise the indiscriminate pur-
chase of lumber at current prices, but the
picking up of marketable stocks at favor-
able opportunities would seem to be a wise
policy, as a firm lumber market for the
next few months is altogether probable.
There are many advocates of higher
prices for hemlock, but until more definite
information as to the log production of the
past winter is obtainable, prediction is
hazardous. There is but a small quantity
of dry stock in first hands, and dealers
have found it necessary to buy from each ©
other to some extent in order to fill orders,
So far as can be estimated there has
been a slight falling off recently in im-
ports of yellow pine. This is believed to
be due to the advanced prices adopted by
theSoutbern Lumber Manufacturers’ Asso-
ciation, making it more difficult to realize
a margin on Canadian shipments,
QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.
While the lumber trade in the Eastern
Provinces is still quiet, the opinion is quite
generally held that the season will be
fairly prosperous. The manufacturers are
receiving numerous inquiries for lumber
for shipment to the Eastern States, which
trade ts likely to be greater than last year,
when the P residential election induced a
ee nk Se Pe Sad
smaller production of logs and the im-
provement which has already taken place
in the British market are factors favorable
to an advance in lumber prices. New
Brunswick cedar shingles are exhibiting
considerable strength and for the first
time in many months sales of extras have
been made for Boston delivery at $3.35.
Competition with red cedars is quite keen,
and were it not for this fact it is believed
that prices would soon advance io to 20
cents. The outlook, however, is more en-
_ couraging than for a long time.
UNITED STATES.
Reports from the different districts
more uniformly favorable than at any
previous time this year. Since the mild
wealther set in, the movement of lumber
has steadily increased, until the volume
now is in excess of that of one year ago, -
with indications of a further expansion in
the near future. White pine, yellow pine,
spruce and hardwoods are all showing
renewed life, and conditions at the pre-
sent seem to favor the holder of stocks.
There has been an improvement in gen-
eral industrial conditions and the outlook
is for an active building season, circum-
stancestwhich should have a strengthening
effect upon the lumber market. The
Southern pine mills are operating to their
full capacity to meet the orders, and the
output in any instances is sold far in ad-
vance. There is a steady demand for all
kinds of hardwoods, whereas the supply of
elm, ash and oak is none too great. Maple
and basswood are to be had in larger
quantities.
Prices show no parlicular change from
last week. Mill culls are a little higher at
Buffalo and Tonawanda, the scarcity of
this grade making it an easy matter for

GREAT BRITAIN.
There has not been much improvement
in the demand for lumber in Great Britain,
but there is no doubt that amore hopeful
feeling exists. The tendency of prices is
- to harden, as stocks on hand are held at
considerably lower figures than new sup-
plies can be bought for. Representatives
of shippers have closed some business, but
a few of the largest buyers are holding off
in the hope that they may yet be given
some concessions. Thestatistical position
of Canadian lumber is very strong. Stocks
of first and second quality white pine on
the East Coast of England are practically
exhausted. There is a very satisfactory
demand for spruce deals and flooring, this
trade being benefitted by the improvement
in the cotton industry. The Liverpool
correspondent of Timber says: ‘‘That
there will be an improved consumption tor
qin. by 3in. spruce goes without saying,
and as this size forms such a great pro-
portion of every cargo, it behooves sellers
to consider whether it be wise for them to
go on disposing of them at about cost price
or something less. This is what happen-
ed all last year, and with what result?
‘The idea was to restore the balance by
adding an extra-price to the 9 by 3in.
The result has proved to be that the bulk
of the present holdings remain ing by 3in.,
so that the desired return is still on paper,
and may possibly be never realized.
Would it not have been better in every
way to have reduced quotations for the 9
by 3in. and increased those for the 7 by
3 in.? This would have brought them

NEW BRUNSWICK CEDAR SHINGLES.
Stocks of cedar shingles left in manufac-
turers’ hands at the beginning of the win-
ter were small and the winter m
production has been less than normal, as
prevailing prices did not show much, if
any, margin of profit. Orders accepted
during the last month will virtually clean
up all Extras, Clears and 2nd Clears left
in Eastern Canada. The winter mills are
now closing down and the summer mills
cannot start before the middle of May, as .
th-y have to wait for their logs to come
down. Many of the operators have al-
tready booked orders at advanced figures
for May shipment. The market is, there-
fore, now nearly bare, very few shingles
can be cut before May 15th, and a portion
of the May output is already sold. This
constitutes an extremely strong situation
and is sure to be emphasized as soonas the
New England retailers shake off their
winter lethargy and start in to replenish
their now rapidly dwindling stocks.
Trade prospects in the Eastern States are
better than for many years, and unless
abor troubles or some entirely unforeseen
business calamities intervene, consump-
tion will be very large throughout the
entire building season. One large pro-
ducer of shingles is building two addition-
al mills, but the operators in general have
taken out no more logs than last year and
in some sections the cut will be slightly

curtailed. Present indications would show
that the spring demand will not be satis-
fied before mid-summer and in the mean-
time prices will rule very firm. It is a
little early as yet for the placing of any
large amount of business, but we believe
shingles will be much sought for and
, orders very plentiful within three or four
week. Orders for immediate shipment
are very hard to place right now. Stand-
ard brands are quoted for May delivery
as follows, f.o.b. Boston points: Extras,
$3.35 to $3.40; Clears, $2.90 to $3.00;
2nd Clears, $2.35 to $2.40; Clear Whites,
$2.25 to $2.30. The scattered remnants
of the small winter mill cut are being
offered at 5 to 10 cents less, but there are
very few left unsold. Clears are in least
supply and best demand and are compara-
tively stiff, although the entire list is now
strong. It will probably be the part
of wisdom for the manufacturers to re-
frain from taking advance orders this
spring at anything less than full market
quotations.

The Cook & Bros. Lumber Company,
of Toronto, have just sold nearly 34,000,-
ooo feet of lumber to the Herman H.
Hettler Lumber Company, of Chicago.
The transaction includes all the dry lumber
that is unsold now on the docks at Spragge,
Ont., estimated at between 3,000,000 and
4,000,000 feet, and the lumber to be sawn
this year, estimated at 26,000,000 feet of
white pine and 4,000,000 feet of norway.
The ‘consideration is announced to have
THE EASTERN LUMBER MARKET.
The Boston correspondent of the Lum-
berman’s Review refers to the lumber
market as follows:
Spruce has been very firm and brings
full figures for both large and small lots.
All of the Eastern mills have been booking
orders freely, and in several cases import-
ant shippers are sold well toward the
middle of the year for everything they
can produce, and the market has toned
up wonderfully and is to-day very firmly
fixed upon a basis ot $19.00 for timber
under 9” and $21.00 for all stock running
9’ and over. It is generally understood
now that lumbermen in the North and
East havecaught every log possible dur-
ing the past winter and will have a full
supply with which to meet this season's
demand. The English market for spruce
has been toning up steadily and itis now
believed that the Eastern Provinces will
have scarcely a normal amount of spruce
to send over the line to the New England
and New York markets. The lath mar-
ket is also very firm ona basis of $3.40 for
the 156” size and $3.25 for the 1%”, and
there is a great scarcity of lath at all
points. The writer, while in the office of
one of our largest retailers, learned that
he had orders on his books for lath
which would not only take all he had
in the yard, but all he had bought®
and that he had bought every lath
offered within the last three months and
actually sent out inquiries in an effort to
locate supplies for his spring trade. East-
ern cedar shingles are iust about steady
on a basis of $3.25 for extras and $2.85 to
$2.95 for clears, with the latter grade in
strong demand and well sold up. There
is a fair supply of extras on hand at pres-
ent, but an early Spring opening will
CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION
favor a strong shingle market as soon as
the full force of the demand develops.
Hemlock is very firm, though the de-
mand during the past month has been
moderate. Stocks are light at all points,
and with the selling price very firm on a
basis of $16.00, the outlook for a steady
market is regarded as exceptionally good.
The hardwoods show little change dur-
ing the month. Piain oak, either red or
white, is about the strongest item on the
list, though mahogany has come to the
front again and is finding ready sale at
full prices. Quartered oak, which has
been a trifle druggy during the past six or
eight months, is showing somewhat more
tone, with most quotations for 1” 1s and
2s ranging from $76.00 to $80.00, In
other respects the market is unchanged.
THE OUTLOOK FOR HARDWOODS.
The conclusion of the American Lum-
berman is that the outlook for hardwoods
is very promising, as in the last issue we
find the following remarks: Needs of con-
sumers are sufficient to absorb practically
all the hardwood lumber that can be pro-
duced and at this time, owing to the stimu-
lated demand from all quarters, a prospec-
tive call for hardwood stocks in excess of
the amount available for immediate use is
to be anticipated. As will be remembered
by those who keep in touch with this
department of the lumber industry, stocks
at the end of 1904 were relatively lighter
than at the corresponding time in 1903.
This condition was not only true’ with
respect to manufacturers ot hardwoods
but with the consumer also. Evidently
consumers thought to impose the burden
of carrying stocks through the winter
months on the manufacturer,with the ap-
March, 29, 1905
parent expectation of buying stocks at the
beginning of this year at about the same
price they would have paid in the summer
and fall of 1904. Their expectations are
doomed never to be realized. Light
stocks and unfavorable conditions for
operating throughout the hardwood pro-
ducing territory especially have created a
sho tage in the supply which will not be
made good at a very early date. Many
of the larger manufacturers with a better
appreciation of the situation than have
some of the consumers who are imbued
with the idea that supplies will be forth-
coming indefinitely, took a chance on the
outcome a few months ago, and while
they could have sold quarter sawed oak,
for instance, at from $65 to $68 last fall, ©
they held for higher prices which they to-
day are securing. Notjonly have they been
able to demand and receive the price for
which they were willing to part with their
stock eight months ago, but in addition a
reasonable advance.
Evidently consumers have concluded to
charge up to experience the difference
between prices they are now paying for
their stock and those at which it could
have been secured last fall and are laying
in supplies for future requirements. At
least the consistent buying by the large
users, which is general with the possible
exception of the furniture factory districts,
lends color to the belief that the consumer
is out fer all the hardwood stock he
can get provided prices are within
reach of his bank account. Itfis scarcely
possible that hardwood values will dip
below their present level during the re-
mainder of the year and the shortage
throughout the country may result in an
agreeable manner to the producer who
has the material to market.
Po el
been between $600,000 and $700,000.
