These advantages, combined with the Shimer expansion feature, make a combina- .tion that is hard to equal. ° The straight knives are long, assuring length of service, while the circular knives can be set back, and the straight knives jointed; in this manner the whole width of the straight knives can be jointed at the one setting. The circular cutter is then brought to its proper location. The Cheapest and Best Head on the Market.

Inventories are finished early in the month and then comes a transition for a few weeks during which alert exponents of the trade generally make it a point _ to be present at local district, provincial or other gatherings to dis- cuss matters for the coming twelve months and get a line on how _ their competitors solve the problems that arise from time to time. Es The Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association will hold its annual’ convention in the Prince Edward Hotel, Windsor, Wednes- _ day, Thursday and Friday, January 24th, 25th and 26th, while the members of the Canadian Lumbermen’s Association will foregather at the new Mount Royal Hotel, Montreal, on Wednesday and Thurs- day, January 24th and 25th. At both of these conclaves trade pros- pects will be reviewed and the situation convasssed so far as the fu- _ ture is concerned. _ There is no doubt that the year just closed has been one of great- er volume and increased values than the previous twelve months. This” especially applies to softwoods for which a splendid demand sprang up owing to the continued structural activity, the home and store building campaigns in the larger centres gaining an impetus such as they had not done in years. i Hardwoods were generally quiet until the fail months when a _ revival of activity began to be felt and inquiries for stock were, in _ numerous instances, translated into sales. According to reliable re- a ports received by the “Canada Lumberman” from various centres, _ there is today much less lumber in the mill yards than there was a a year ago. Stocks are in fewer hands and are being shipped rapidly. _ What does the horoscope for 1923 reveal? Will prices be high- er; how much greater will be production? Will the cost of logging be increased? What will the labor condition be? Will there be a scarcity of stock, etc.? These are vital topics and of particular con- cern at this juncture. In order to gain first hand information, the “Canada Lumber- man” recently obtained opinions from representative concerns in _ various parts of Canada. It is well occasionally to let others speak, ‘J as those, who are in the forefront, know exactly what the state of affairs is from day to day and week to week. _ Here is what leading representatives say :— + ‘Devas 6. 0s peede= 6 pen et Oe Ne yee eS in * oe one ee i F Stocks Lower—Demand More Active _ Austin & Nicholson, Chapleau, Ont.—Our opinion is that stocks lumber in mill yards are much lower at present than they were ear ago and we find the demand much more active. In our own @, although we produced more lumber in 1922 than in 1921 we not nearly so much to offer today and it looks to us as though e would be some stiffening in prices. ‘ShevlineClarke Co., Fort Frances, Ont.—Our stock of lumber proximately the same as we had on hand at this time a year ago. te anticipate that our inventory at the close of the year, howeve er, ll probably disclose in the neighborhood of seven or eight million ss lumber than we had a year ago. Our logging costs we do not i e will be any higher this year than they were last year be- re ye Paying the same rate of wages, Supplies, if any- © Gata Jumberman Recognized Authority for Forty Years founded 1880 Toronto, January 1, 1923 No. 1 thing, are a little bit lower than they were. The year 1923, at least the first six or eight months, should be one of considerable activity and with a good demand for lumber. From our knowledge of lumber in the West, we should say that stocks are very much depleted and this should mean, if anything, a corresponding advance in price. Mickle, Dyment & Son, Barrie, Ont.—Judging from what we have been able to gather from reliable sources, there will undoubtedly be a shortage of lumber in ‘Ontario next year, that is of stock now in the yards at the mills, and in consequence we anticipate a stiffen- ing in prices. In regard to logging operations this winter, the cost will be greater than last winter on account of the increase of wages to competent bushmen. In our opinion there should be a normal activity in the building industry during 1923 on account of the scarcity of houses throughout the country. Cost of Logging is Higher C. Beck Mfg. Co., Penetanguishene, Ont——Our position is the same as most mills, and as we understand it, practically everything is sold and stocks are very low. The shipping has been very good, and we have moved more in November of this year than we have for some years. As for next year’s conditions; one man’s guess is as good as anothers’. We certainly do not know what will transpire. Gillies Bros., Braeside, Ont—We think it is generally true that the stocks of lumber on hand are less, in many cases decidedly less, than they were last year and also that the cost of operation this year is generally higher than last year, which should be reflected in the price of lumber in 1923. As to market conditions for 1923 we have nothing definite in this connection except our hopes that the mar- ket conditions will be such as to return us the increased cost of logging this season. Shepard & Morse Lumber Co. Canada, Limited, Ottawa, Ont. —We have more lumber on hand than at the same time last year, and we believe that condition to prevail in most of the Ottawa Valley yards. Nevertheless, we do think that prices are going to advance some for 1923 and we are looking forward to a reasonable amount of steady business during that year. Lower grade lumber has al- ready advanced in sympathy with the stiffening up of prices on spruce. We do not look for a very material advance in middle grade white pine, notwithstanding the fact that manufacturers should get a little more to cover costs of production which will be greater in the woods for the season of 1922-23 than it was in 1921-22. Men are not too Plentiful Hocken Lumber Co., Espanola, Ont——We have to-day less than — 50% of what we had a year ago of dry stock on hand and our cut for 1923 will be at least two million feet less than 1922. The lumber demand is brisk, labor for the bush is scarce and consequently the costs of operation to-day is much in excess of last season with no immediate signs of it changing. With the bountiful harvest of the past season Sal the fine eather for building we are now having, coupled with the determination of the public to face all difficulties and the wheels of commerce revolving smoothly, be other than optimistic of the coming season. A large firm operating in the North Bay district say that stocks in the mill yards are lower than this time last year as a whole in the north and Georgian Bay districts. So far as prices are concern- ed we may say that. we have recently advanced prices, just as other lumber firms have, and it looks as if there may be further advances. May say that we ‘find this true of almost all lines including hard- wood, B. C. fir, spruce, etc. The cost of taking out stock this sea- son will be somewhat higher than last on account of men being: less plentiful than this time Tast year. Victoria Harbor Lumber Co., Toronto, Ont.—Our stock is con- siderably lower than it was a year ago and a great deal more lumber has moved out of our yard. We find that the demand is steadily increasing and that No. 1 mill culls are now enjoying a larger call. Wwe see no reason to ~ » 38 CANADA LUMBERMAN On the whole we believe stocks are scarce and the outlook for a eood steady trade in the next year seems promising. Still in Arrears on Orders Chew Bros., Midland, Ont—-Our stock of lumber on hand is lower than a year ago, we have substantially increased our shipping . force and still are in arrears with our orders. It would appear to us there may be a gener: al shortage, and that a substantial advance 1 the comnig year. Re logging costs, while wage scale is higher than a year ago and men were, scarce during early part of fall, we now have what we require, many lines of supplies cost less than last year and should offset to a great extent increase in cost of labor. Fesserton Timber Co., Toronto, Ont.—We are pleased to say that we have found a considerable improvement in business this year over 1921, particularly in the latter part of the year. The better stocks seem to be getting very scarce. Spruce has shown a stiffening in price, and eood Eastern stocks are becoming scarce, as the New England buyers are buying very heavily in the Fast, and that market seems to be considerably improved during the last few months. We expect that stocks will be short after the first of the year, and that prices will no doubt be higher. Everything points towards a good year for 1923, and we melieve it will be a baer year than 1922, as everyone seems optimistic throughout the lumber trade. in a is in prospect for Coming Year Should be Good Spanish River Lumber Co., Cutler, Ont.—While we have about fifteen million feet in our mill yards at present, it is all sold and some of it will be moved by rail this winter. We anticipate brisk shipping on the opening of navigation. We cannot inform you as to a possible shortage next spring in any particular width or thick- ness but we do anticipate a rise in price in all grades of pine. Log- ging costs will be higher this season than last owing to some ace vances in wages and “less efficiency. Seventy five per cent of the men now in the woods are the dregs of labor of the two provinces. If the pine loggers of Ontario and Quebec do not soon adopt another plan of handling their labor, they will be reduced to a condition where logging will be impossible, In our opinion 1923 should be a pretty fair year for the lumber business, especially the first half. Keenan Bros., Owen Sound, Ont.—The lumber situation at the present time is looking very well. There has been a lot of first class stock shipped out of this country, more than the consuming public dreams of, and we think there is going to be a shortage along certain lines, especially the first quality stocks. This winter's -oper- ations are going to be materially higher than last year’s in cost, and it ought to be refl ected in the price of lumber. We certainly think it will be and feel that we are on the verge of a few years of pretty fair business. 1923 is going to be a year of more than normal ac- tivity. Two Inch Stock May be Scarce Mageau Lumber Co., Field, Ont.—Our. stock at present is being shipped out just as fast as it is in shipping condition; in fact we haven’t got more than 1,500,000 feet in the yard now, out of a 4 000,000,000 feet cut, while-at this time last year we had about 5,000,000 feet in the yard out of 6,000,000 feet of a cut. This shows that the market is much improved indeed, and there is no doubt in our mind that there will be a shortage in a number of widths and thicknesses by next spring. As to just where that shortage may be, it is difficult to say at this juncture, but it would seem that two inch stock might be scarce. As regards prospects for the next sea- son, it would seem because of higher wages paid out to men in lum- ber camps that prices now prevailing ought to, at least, remain, and it would not be surprising to see a fair increase in a number of grades, particularly in the culls. Regarding car service, we really have no complaint. The 'C. N. R. has given us an adequate service. What Quebec Producers Believe Chaleurs Bay Mills, Restigouche, Que.,—As far as our informa- tion goes the lumber stocks of all kinds is very much less than it was last year at this time especially the 3” that was shipped quite freely during season to eee Britain and other countries. We also under- stand that dry boards are scarce and, in fact, all stock in general and are of the opinion that prices will increase considerably during 1923. The cost of logging operations this year will be from 20 to 25% more than last year. W. & J. Sharples, Limited, Quebec, Que. We figure the stocks are quite ample for the usual demand that may come up in this dis- trict. There was no difficulty in shipping stocks out from here this season as there was sufficient tonnage always available for what we had to ship. Next season we will probably have a normal sup- ply of wood goods but we are not looking for any great advance in *- oe a pe ty eee we, A ws "Ore Tl r ~ is A “ Should there be any, however,: oie export mar me ket will be slow to correspond te European competition. prices on this side. Hopeful Survey of the Situation Cardinal & Page, Montreal,—We are of the opinion that the stocks of lumber in the mill yards are lower this season than they © were a year ago. The car situation, of course, has improved but it is still restricting shipments. Business lately has been fairly good. We think there will’ be a shortage in certain widths and thicknesses early next year which, in the ordinary way, should mea a higher market. Indications are that next year will be a very bu: period and we look for a good market and profitable prices fot greater part of 1923. ieee Will Have to pay More at Mill Rolland Lumber Co., Montreal,—The situation at the pres time is that our stocks to be carried over during the Winter about 50% less than last year, On the other hand, our, com ments towards the mill this year has been about 359 more than year. Although our stocks consisted of mostly un- seasoned stor which is lumber manufactured only during the current year, we have had no difficulty in disposing of it. Our opinion is that next year we will have to pay a little bit more for our lumber at the mill. We feel that this is going to put the lumber business back again, as ae an advance in prices at the mill, will greatly hinder the advance- ment and continuance of the present activities being ees, : by the lumber business in general. We are afraid that higher quo- tations at the mill, just when every one is crying for reduction in- price of general commodities, will cause sometime during the coming | : year, an unfortunate lull in the lumber trade; business becoming _ stagnant, a repetition of cut throat prices will start to appear on the © market Concerning the prospects for 1923, from advanced informa- 5 tion received, our opinion is that we would enjoy some handsome _ business, but, of course, this will be greatly governed by the MpEICes | which we have to pay for our mill cuts. We are confident that if the present level of prices are maintained, next year, undoubtedly, : 3 would be a very good one. ay Should be Normal Trade Aetivigy ager “hs 4 a ie: . « Roch Julien, Quebec, Que..—If we can base our judgment on the good demands that have come in during the past month, and the ~ better facilities of transportation, we would say that there will bea | shortage in several lines of Quebec spruce and pine until the new — cut comes on the market. We figure that the price will advance gradually as the logging costs for-this season will be higher than last year. 1923 should be a year of normal activity in the lumber business. Fassett Lumber Co., Fassett, Que.—-The stock we are ‘carrying a at the present time is about 40% less than we were carrying a year ago. We believe that at the present time there is a shortage in a ereat many sizes in softwoods, and undoubtedly this shortage will | be felt more by spring, with a tendency to higher prices. Our log- ging costs this year are increasing: we estimate around 25% over the preceding year. We look forward to 1923 as a year of normal N activity and steady demand. 1) ee Wise Men in East Getting Ready Wightman Lumber Co., Montreal, Que. »—According to otis opinion, all available stocks of Eastern Spruce, which is practically the only class of lumber we handle, are being picked up very rapidly by the various wholesalers. In spite of transportation difficulties, a large volume has moved out of the Eastern Provinces during the fe past few months. The result is that stocks of lumber in mill yards are about the lowest they have been for a number of years. Dhe> + fact that prices on most items have shown some advance, is due to ae stocks getting scarce, and naturally the demand seems to increase, 4 and while we look for firm prices for the coming months, we do not. BY look for any great change. Logging costs no doubt will be ae 4, higher than in 1921 and "1922, due to increase in wages. On the other | hand, supplies are cheaper and the stumpage in some cases has been _ reduced. Notwithstanding this, we feel that the law of supply and — demand will govern prices as a general rule. We are not in posi- tion to say what 1923 will bring, but most of the wise men of the East are preparing to supply a normal quantity and hope for a steady demand. stoales in this province are ruck below ee they were aan year. The cost of logging is considerably higher than it was in 1921-2. So ~ far as prices are concerned, we do not wish to make any prophecies | rae regarding the future. B.

Gerard Power Made Study of Conditions in Late Trip and Looks for Bigger Shipments W. Gerard Power, president of W. & J. Sharples Co., Limited, and president of the Quebec Harbor Commission, who crossed to Europe in the early part of September last to visit the European agencies of his firm’s lumber interests in the United Kingdom, re- turned to Quebec early in December after a three-months’ absence abroad during which period he visited all the lumber centres of England, Ireland and Scotland, and also crossed over to France for a short trip. He did not spare himself in his business interests abroad; nevertheless he found time to be present at the banquet tendered at the Canadian Club to Sir Henry Thornton, president of | the Canadian National Railways, and was much impressed with the high esteem in which Sir Henry is held by the business and official life in England. Naturally Mr. Power who is a keen observer, made -a careful study of the lumber market of the United Kingdom, especi- ally the prospects for the export from Canada of Canadian lumber in the summer of 1923. ! In the course of an interview with the Quebec correspondent of the “Canada Lumberman” on his return, Mr. Power said: “I found great improvement generally in all avenues of business in — 7% England as well as Scotland and Belfast, where I spent ten days. All engineering departments are well booked with orders and ship- ping activities are improving. I cannot say as much for the British shipyards. They are all practically idle and I was grieved to see the big plant of Harland & Wolfe practically shut down for want _of orders. Larger Importations of Lumber “In regard to the lumber trade, I was filled with a spirit of optimism for its future but I would not like to build much on it tor the present, for there are the many questions of the economic life in Europe to adjust and the rate of exchange. However, the bulk of the old British Government war stocks in wood has been disposed of and the general trend points towards larger importations of timber to the w hole of the United Kingdom. Values may not be as large as in pre-war days, owing to buyers buying in a small way in quanti- ties. This is an uncertainty that is brought about by the feeling that prices may become lower in the future. “Meanwhile Canada has to keep constantly in mind Scandina- vian competition, and to meet it must keep up a uniformity in manu- . facture and grading. Swedish and Finnish stocks are good. Russia is also now getting out good stock and there is now considerable wood coming from that country and is likely to increase in volume. _ Of course, values are not to be compared with those in pre-war days. Canada is not taken into preferable consideration. Inspection, of course, at all times prevails. Poor stuff will only pay a low price, and in order to get a fair figure the goods have got to be Al. As long as we can guarantee a conan grade of Her ysh we will obtain a fair quotation and a fair share of the business in the United King- dom. The question is, however, will English prices advance in English markets as well as in American markets? The Canadian trade may be able to secure better prices in the American markets. “There is no limit to the export possibilities from Scandinavian countries. The biggest shippers whom I met in England of Scan- dinavian wood informed me that they can go on indefinitely ship- ping to the United Kingdom at the present price rate they are re- ceiving. They have told me that the cost of labor has gone down in their countries to such an extent as to give them profit on their sales and that the prices, which they are “obtaining in the United Kingdom and on the Continent, are yielding to them a fair profit. t “The Finnish mark is going up but this is a setback. ‘The rise in the Finnish mark will help the Canadian trade and likewise help | the Swedish trade as the mark of the latter is over par. ln ert i a tee, Cheeper Transportation Rates Needed ' “I have had friendly conferences with ship owners about-the re- duction of ocean freight rates on Canadian lumber. We spoke to- gether in a general way but, of course, I took occasion to make it plain that the charges were too high and that it would be a mutual ' benefit if the freight rates on the export business from Canada were meee ee At the same time I endeavored to convince them that the resent levies were proportionately high and curtailed shipment. re was gratified to hear from the interests with whom I discussed - the question, that the cost of operating ships w ere lowering and that _ there were prospects of lower rates next year. ~~ Mr. Power went on to tell that he had visited establishments in the United Kingdom where lumber was remanufactured, and 4 a after seeing these plants and their equipment, said he was given a be ie = i 4 fi eae ia _ CE eg oe » ies = 7 surprise to witness how they could ae a three-inch ir an slit it into thin planks. In watching this process is struck him how care- — ful the Canadian trade should be in the choice of lumber exported to England, and would take the liberty to tender the advice that the shipment of Canadian deals to the United Kingdom should be all uniform in size and sound. He said that, owing to the bulk of this lumber going to the other side, it should be carefully inspected and its uniformity particularly noticed as to its thickness and width and pen freedom from knots. “If this precautionary inspection was taken,” said Mr. Power, “it would greatly enhance the value of Canadian aS: lumber and assist the trade with the United Kingdom.” ee England Desires No More War iy ee 3 a Speaking of political conditions in England, Mr. Power Bs ee they had greatly quieted down since the general election. The {Peo- ees ple appreciate the great work done by Lloyd George during the war ae a and would ever hold ‘him in esteem, but as England wanted peace _— and an adjustment of trade and industry, they desired the’ disappear- Me: aS ance of the late Prime Minister because they believed that he was likely to immerse the country in another war.

Delivery must be completed before June Ist, — 1923. ; ‘ » pte ik ae Rosi eg Tc ie a ag lee a nae ais ee The members of the Montreal Lumbermen’s Association held their annual meeting recently in the Board of Trade Building, Montreal. There was a good at- tendance and the business con- sisted of presénting annual re- ports, the election of officers for the coming year and a general discussion on the more impor- - tant matters that had arisen during 1922. The trend of trade for the coming season was also talked over and it was generally agreed that the outlook was steadily improving. A larger cut is being taken out in the bush and stocks had been reduced considerably at many distribut- ing and shipping points. The President’s Annual Address D. H. McLennan, the presi- dent, presided, and in his re- at view of the matter which had come to the attention of the Associa- tion during 1922, said :— It will be remembered that on June 4th, an amendment to the | special War Revenue Act was passed, and dealt specially with the ‘: Sales Tax in its application to lumber. It stipulated that lumber _ manufacturers might charge the Sales Tax to the wholesalers or - might absorb it as part of the cost, the whole transaction as between wholesaler and manufacturer was one of contract. On 23rd June this year, this provision was somewhat changed and the Law now states that “an Excise Tax of 3% shall be imposed, levied and collect- ed on sales and deliveries by the Canadian manufacturers and of 4% on importations, and that no further Excise Tax shall be payable on re-sale.” a “At the last Session of Parliament the Stamp Tax on cheques ---_—s was increased from two cents on all cheques issued to two cents on % cheques not exceeding fifty dollars and two cents on every additional fifty dollars or fraction thereof up to five thousand dollars with a maximum charge of two dollars. The Act in which this change oc- curs also stipulates that ‘no person shall transfer a Bill of exchange or promissory note to a bank in such manner as to constitute the bank the holder thereof, or deliver a bill of exchange or promissory note to a bank for collection, unless there is affixed thereto an ad- s hesive stamp or unless there is impressed thereon by means of a die a stamp of the value of, if the amount of money for which the bill or note is drawn or made (1) does not exceed $50.00, two cents, (2) exceeds $50.00, for every $50.00 or fraction thereof two cents.” There is a feature in this legislation to which I wish to draw your 3 attention. As you know, drafts drawn on customers are, unfortun- ately, often returned and it is necessary to draw on them a second _ time and sometimes that does not suffice. It seems to me that the _ application of the Stamp Tax on drafts which are returned and no _ rebate allowed is most unfair and I strongly urge that this matter _ be taken up with the Government.

S., and other Stations on the Halifax and Southwestern Branch of the Canadian National Railways, and, as rates were not found to be higher than those generally in effect in Canada, dismissed the complaints. The subject of rates on lumber from B. C., Pacific coast points to Quebec Central Railway stations is actively in hand with the Rail- ways and a decision satisfactory to the trade is looked for at an early date. The Quebec Central Railway has issued new tariffs covering through rates on lumber to stations on connecting lines in Canada on a basis similar to that applying from contiguous territory on the Canadian National Railways. Advice has also been received from the Quebec Central Railway to the effect that tariffs covering through rates to points on the Maine Central and Grand Trunk Railways in New England, and also to points on the Central Vermont Railway in the United States will be printed in the course of a few days. The Question of a general increase in freight rates is referred to in last year’s report. An application for a general reduction in ~ freight rates on lumber to the basis in effect prior to September 13th, 1920 was argued before the Board in Ottawa on March 7th and the Board’s General Order No. 366 provides for a gerenal reduction of 714%, effective August Ist.

All the Admiralty stock has now been shipped and a great deal that was not Admiralty, has also been shipped out. There was a steamer here recently loading the last of the Admiralty stock we know of. This vessel left carrying 1,500 standards for * Manchester. Our own yard is entirely clear m everything except the sawing of 1922. Stocks are materially reduced and anyone want- * ing dry stock will find it difficult now to procure. While we have ~ some dry stock on our yard at the moment it is all disposed of going ‘ through the planer as fast as we can put it. The operation in the ‘ woods is about two thirds of last year and will cost more owing to the higher wages paid to men and the Government stumpage of _ $4.00 adds materially to the cost of stock in this direction. Prices have materially advanced and we are looking for quite an improve- ~~ ment in price and demand in 1923, while we do not anticipate busi- ‘ ness in the lumber line will be up to normal, still it will not be far ‘ from it. Nova Scotia Mills Sawing English Stock 1 k Dunfield Lumber Co., Halifax, N. S.—Stocks of lumber on hand — in mill and railway yards in this Province are much lower than at ' this time last year, in fact it can be said that stocks are about ex- -hausted. We have never known stocks to be as nearly cleaned up as at present. Owing to this condition, and the anticipated moderate production, it is quite apparent that.certain sizes, such as 2x4, 9 & 10 ft. and 16 ft. & up, 2x6 ft. & up, 2x8, 12, 13, 14 ft. and 2x10, 2x12 Spruce, also 3x7 & wider for the English market, will be very scarce during the winter and early spring. At the same time there will be 1 no surplus of random stocks including log run spruce, pine and hem- lock boards. In our opinion 1923 will be a normal year, and there _ will be a steady demand, with an upward tendency in prices, at least until well along into the year. During 1922 most of our mills ' down this way were cutting for the Aunesiens market, but this winter many will be cutting English stock. At this time last year there were large stocks of spruce on hand, but as stated, these have now been liquidated, and, with mills sawing English stock this winter, it is expected there will be no surplus of stocks of spruce available for either English or American markets. Shortage in Desirable Sizes Colin C. Tyrer Co., Halifax, N. S..—As far as Nova Scotia is con- cerned, stocks of lumber in the yards are certainly low—in fact, things are pretty well cleaned up in Nova Scotia and we are all glad of it. There is a shortage to-day of all desirable sizes for the Ameri- can market but the mills are starting to get to work for their winter ‘operations and there will be a fairly even supply of stock for both the English and American markets from now on. Of course, it entirely depends on winter conditions. Prices have shot up rather rapidly during the last two or three weeks; in fact too rapidly to be called a healthy rise. We are inclined to think we are going to see higher _ prices during the winter but when the spring and summer come along - the market will go back again, as all the large mills have immense quantities to saw. If there is any truth in the report, they are plan- ning to get out immense quantities of logs this winter. The English market will not stand any heavy pressure of stock and, even at to- day’s — and on the basis of ruling freight rates there is left only a small profit, nothing at all of a really substantial nature. We cer- ~ tainly sepect to see in 1923 a good steady demand for lumber. President of N. S. Association Speaks Rufus E. Dickie, Stewiacke, N. S.,—I am neither a prophet, nor the son of a prophet, so it is pretty hard for me to foretell the future with any degree of certainty, and at the best, whatever I may say, will only be a guess. The situdtion in Nova Scotia at the present time is that the old stocks of lumber are pretty well cleaned up. You could safely say that by the end of the year all the old ace of merchantable material will be either sold, or in transit. There will > be, however, a small quantity of culls left; but even this quality is | rapidly moving out. This will leave us with a fairly clean slate for : next year. The cut for this winter and next summer will be con- siderably larger, perhaps double, what it was last year, but I do not 4 thing it will nearly approach the pre cut. The steady demand and hand-to- mouth f financing, will move the winter cut, about as fast as it is sawn. Next summer’s cut will not be large, and will like- be cleaned up as fast as delivery can be made. The English market } is prepared to take a considerable quantity of deals and scantling; and the American market is, | think, ered to take all we can pro- } duce. I can imagine that the demand will be greater than the sup} rly, _more especially, for the wider widths. But this will also apply 16 narrow sizes as well. If Nova Scotia and New Brunswick were the -war only places manufacturing lumber, one would expect to see a eT (pas away market but as other countries are producing besides ourselves, prices will be governed by those obtained from the other competing — countries. Operating costs will be higher this next year, as wages have already advanced from five to ten dollars per month, -due to. scarcity of men. Supplies are also somewhat higher than last year. Looking the situation all over, and speaking for Nova Scotia. my’ opinion is that our activity will not be quite up to normal, and that we mill have a steady demand for all we can produce, at profitable. prices. The Lowest Stocks in Twenty Years “ eB a Clarke Bros., Bear River, N. S.,—In respect to lumber stocks on ie hand at this point, we have never known in the past twenty years As stocks so low as they are at this and adjacent point. As to quantity __ available for spring shipment of 1923, everything, of course depends upon the extent of the bush operations during the coming winter. Practically nothing was done in the way of lumbering here in the winter of 1922 and while there will not be the usual activity which characterized the years prior to 1920, there will be more logging carried on than there was last year. The cut however, will not be. more than twenty-five to thirty per cent of normal. Increased ac- tivity in New Brunswick has drawn a percentage of our men to that ~ field, but there are still enough for all woods operations which will be done here during the coming season. Our information is, that the stocks of lumber in the American market are not large, swith ~ the English demand improving, and while there will be an increase — in the cut in the lumber sections of Canada, we have not been able to ascertain that there will be more than sixty per cent of the usual — quantity of logs harvested. As many of these will not reach the mills until May or early June, we anticipate a brisk demand in the early part of the season, Wages will be somewhat higher than last year, while camp costs will be a trifle lower. The cost of securing logs these days is materially increased, by the fact that the “stands” of timber are farther removed than heretofore, and with the prices prevailing for the past year, the operator is fortunate who closes the year without loss. Prices must advance under present condi- — tions, if any value is to be received in the way of stumpage. e Will Appoint Director of Forestry — a rx At the annual meeting of the Canadian Pulp and Paper Associa- tion in Montreal on January 26th the members will be asked to ap- point a director of forestry research in connection with the Wood- lands Section and for that purpose to vote $10,000. The director will be a forestry and logging engineer, whose duties will include personal consultation and assistance. when called’ upon by any mem- ber in meeting problems arising out of forestry or logging opera- : tions ; keeping in touch with alt developments and gathering infor- © mation for the benefit of members and keeping them informed on progressive measures affecting forestry and logging. The expense will be met by an assessment among the members operating their own woodlands. The Executive Committee of the Association points out a great deal has been done to increase the efficiency of the manufacturing end, and proceeds. ‘We are, however, in the operating and forest management end of our business in the same position practically in regard to methods that we were twenty-five or thirty years ago. There are many problems of utilization, measurement of woods, ’ transportation, loss from shrinkage, and driving, which demand solu- tion, and it would greatly cheapen the cost of our logging operations and would lead to a much more intelligent and better handling of ourwoodlands when, it is considered that, on the woods operations of a company more money is spent each year than on any operations in the mill, and that there is a great lack of technical control in these operations. Studies carefully made by a man with technical train- ing and practical experience would effect very large saving and might suggest new methods of transportation and utilization which would have far-reaching results. We do not hesitate to say that as the forest is the basis of profitable conduct of all our pulp and paper mills, it is far more important that money should ‘be spent on this ; end of the work than on any other.” e It is also proposed to appoint a director of technical research - : at an expense not to exceed $30,000 for the first year. The idea is to assist in any research work carried on at the mills. ——- i In the Supreme Court of Ottawa recently the hearing of the ar suit of the Attorney General of Ontario against J. R. Booth, Limited, of Ottawa, was postponed. The action was the outcome of a long- standing dispute in connection with certain timber limits in the Madawaska District. The chief point in dispute is whether a certain boundary line should follow the natural contour of a river. As the — province of Ontario owns the river rights, the department of the — Attorney General has been called ape} to settle the matter CANADA LUMBERMAN Windsor Will be Mecca For Retail Lumbermen ~ w 5 Details For Annual Convention on January 24-26 are Complete—Splendid Pro- : gramme Arranged With Live Topics—Social Features to be Attractive The forthcoming convention of the’Ontario Retail Lumber Deal- ers’ Association will be held at the Prince Edward Hotel, Windsor, on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday January 24th, 25th and 26th. _ It is understood, from present prospects, that this session will be the “ most interesting and outstanding of any that has taken place in the __ history of oS organization. The proceedings will be business from _ the word “go” and a large number of important subjects will be dealt with. ead of set formal speeches, practical talks on various topics of particular interest, will be introduced and led by representatives who have given considerable thought to each subject. Suggestions have ‘been sent in to have a lot of problems thrashed out on the con- vention floor and the detailed programme is now being arranged. The assembly this year is in some respect a unique one in that it will convene for three days. There will be something doing all the time, with abundance of variety, and members are requested to ‘bring their ladies. A special programme of entertainment is pre- pared for them and they will also be guests at the dinner-dance that evening. : S. Herath, of Ojibway, Ont., has been appointed chairman of the Entertainment Committee, and any members who require any _ further information or assistance is reserving rooms should write _ to him, c/o Prince Edward Hotel, Windsor, Ont. It is advisable that all reservations should be made in advance as the attendance promises to be unusually large. The manager of the Prince Edward Hotel will Ht ae look after the comfort and welfare of those who attend, and this palatial new hotel has for the use of the delegates 48 rooms with double beds, suitable for two persons, at $5.00 per day; 48 rooms with double beds, suitable for two persons, at $6.00 per day; 48 rooms with twin beds, suitable for two persons, at $6.00 per day. “Jim.” Scofield, president of the Association, is on the move and declares that local dealers are up on their toes and will leave nothing undone to make the event outstanding and enjoyable in every respect. Some matters which are to come up for discussion ‘and con- _ sideration are a suitable trade mark for the Association; formation of a shippers’ rating bureau, the standardization of lumber sizes and grades, proper cost accounting system, trade ethics, accident pre- vention, relation between wholesaler, retailer and consumer, the house plan service recently inaugurated by the Association, appren- tices for planing mills, etc. : There will be exhibits by various firms during the progress of _ the gathering. Quite a number of applications have been received for space and it is believed this will be an attractive rondezvous dur- ing the convention. I[t will be the first business show ever held in connection with the Association, The tentative programme has been arranged as follows :— Wednesday, January 24 a 10 A.M.

He believes that a staff of employees care- fully trained in their duties, can put out any fire in a plant or yard promptly and effectively. Confusion will be avoided and every man will have his own particular job. Preservation of Timbers is Faciliated Fence-posts, barn sills, house-frames and other timbers placed without preservative treatment in contact with the soil give only a few years of service and the cost of replacing such timbers is in- creasing every year. Material is harder to obtain and labour is more expensive. In order that the longest possible service may be obtained from woods used for such purposes the Forest Products Laboratories of Canada, Forestry Branch, Department of the In- terior, have for several years investigated such preservative meth- ods as could be practiced by the farmer and builder. Treatment of timber in open tanks, that is to say, without pressure, is the only feasible plan for a man who is not in the wood-preservation busi- ness. A creosote oil suitable for such a process was formerly so expensive as to make preservation of timbers appear a questionable economy, but owing to representations made by the Laboratories to the manufacturers of creosote oil in Canada it is now possible to get oil of the correct specification'at a reasonable price. The preserva- tion of poy and ore Hoos is, therefore, no longer a matter of GS Mes as to the oil or process may be had from the Forest [roduc Canada, McGill Uniy Say Montreal . “4 i He Supervised Some Fast Lumber Handling C. F. Richards who has just completed his twentieth year of service with the Laidlaw Bel- ton Lumber Co., is well known in the industry. For a long period he has been superinten- dent of the company’s activities in Sarnia where he is a live citi- zen, being a former member of the city council and also a past master of Tuscan Lodge No. 437, A.F. & A.M. It was in 1902 that Mr. Richards got a job with the R. Laidlaw Lumber Co. in Sarnia as an office boy and he is still considerably under the two- score years mark. He reports that the past season has been a busy one with the company. On December 3rd the steamer “James Dempsey” with a cargo of 739,564 feet aboard arrived and at 7.30 the next morning “the boys” started to unload her. C. F. Richards, Sarnia, Ont. The job was completed at 9.30 the following morning, consisting of 10% hours working time. To accomplish this it was necessary to unload on an average of 70,457 feet every hour or 1,174 feet every minute. When it is considered that each piece had to be handled twice in the unloading and the docking and that one-third of the cargo which was in the hold, had to be handled three times, this performance probably constitutes a record. In a recent letter to the “Canada Lumberman” Mr. Richards states—“We are going to give you the record on the Steamer Dempsey’s season to Sarnia. She delivered seven cargoes here, the balance of the time being spent in carrying shipments to Tonawanda, Chicago and Milwaukee. Seven cargoes unloaded at Sarnia con- tained 6,141,817 feet and the total time of unloading these seven cargoes was 11534 hours. The average amount handled per hour was, therefore, 52,946 feet. On the last cargo, however, 70,457 feet was handled each hour, or as already stated, 1,174 feet per minute. In addition to consignments arriving by the steamer Dempsey, there have been a large number of other boats discharge forest products in Sarnia during 1922, and the unloading of all of them was accom- plished under the direction of Mr. Richards. 4 What Shippers Rating Bureau Would Do _ In a recent letter’ to the “Canada Lumberman” on the forma- tion and operation of a shippers’ rating bureau, which project will Z be considered at the convention of the-O.R.L.D.A. in Windsor, 3 Ont., on January 24-26., F. M. Torrence, of the Xenia, Ohio, secre- | tary of Retail Lumber Dealers, says: The idea of establishing a ; shippers’ rating bureau which would give retailers a record of re- pute of shippers as to character of stock, promptness of delivery, 4 policy in making: adjustments, etc., very similar to the Blue Book and Red Book ratings which the shipper now has on the retailer. is a theory I have been working on for a number of years. While I { believe that we are gradually devising means of overcoming all of the obstacles which present themselves in our efforts to work out a system for this service, I must confess that the matter is still largely in a theoretical stage. The idea of a shippers’ rating bureau and the tentative plan I have mapped out for handling it was endorsed at our state conven- tion at Cincinnati a year ago. Mr. S. S. King, of the Dayton Lumber & Mfg. Co., was made chairman of the shippers’ rating bureau com- taittee and was sent to Washington to discuss the legality of the __—~project with the department of justice. 7 Before going to Washington, Mr. King sent an account of the proposed plan to some fifty shippers and secured the hearty endorse- ment of the plan from all of them, As you can readily understand, _ the greatest benefit from such a bureau will be that derived by the better class of shippers who will thus be better able to meet the com- ; petition of the “fly-by-night” concerns, who, operating without either -¥ financial or moral responsibility, are now giving the legitimate ship- _ ‘pet very vigorous competition and are exacting heavy toll from our _ industry. : ; Some retailers are patronizing these “fly-by-night” shippers, con- _ tinuously ; lured by flowery stationery and apparently attractive price ‘quotations, but even the most conservative retailers, fall for these fellows once in a while. During the past year, while I was working CANADA LUMBERMAN — 2 eae + on ’ eed, BAe eae 3 = > wate ao ret rs * iat rae ren Ba ee eae a on this very project, my own yard was stung on three of lumber ; orders for which we were tempted to place with m concerns, that is, we thought we knew them and their letter looked reassuring. As the prices advanced we never heard any more from them regarding our orders. fie a This type of fellow is adding, in the aggregate, millions of dol- — lars to the cost of building in this country by his present game of — betting on the rise and fall of the lumber market and never paying his bets when he loses. 4 : 6" After our association endorsed the project, the National Ret Lumber Dealers’ Association appointed a committee on the subje and Mr. S.

Canfield, wholesale lumber dealer of Woodstock, Ont., and A. G. Wilmot, of Toronto, who for the past year and a half has been eastern representative of the Otis-Staples Lumber Co., Wy- cliffe, B. C., and the East Kootenay Lumber Co., of Jaffray, Be C., have joined forces and formed the firm of Canfield-Wilmot Limited, - with head office in Woodstock. A charter has been applied for and _ the new organization will specialize on all lines of B. C. forest pro- ducts. Mr. Canfield, who was born and brought up in Woodstock, has been engaged in the wholesale lumber line for the past five years and has met with a large measure of success. Mr. Wilmot has been identified with the industry for some fif- ~ teen years and has a wide acquaintance with the trade, being asso- Re - ciated for a long period with the East Kootenay Lumber Co, Pre- i vious to coming to Toronto he resided in British Columbia and is thoroughly familiar with coast and mountain wood products. Mr. “Wilmot will take up his residence in Woodstock, and many friends will wish the new firm of Canfield-Wilmot Limited every stccess “s and prosperity. e ~R. G. Chesbro, of Toronto, will represent the Otis-Staples Lum- ber Co. in the East, selling to wholesalers only, and in this service succeeds Mr. Wilmot. Be, : : are = ‘i Will Loosen Up Money For Building -. ~ Over in New York State in the county of Westchester, which is adjacent to New York City, a number of prominent bankers, a realtors and building supply men got together recently and formed a Mortgage Purchase Corporation. Westchester County like lots of other communities was away behind in its building programme and money seemed to be getting even tighter. In fact, many retail lumber merchants complained of their having to take second mortgages in order to secure payment for materials furnished for home building. These mortgages usually run for several years and money that might otherwise be used more profitably was tied up. ‘The mortgages were generally held against persons in whom the lumber merchant had every confidence. The Mortgage Purchase Corpora- tion will buy mortgages held by responsible merchants and a rea- sonable discount will be deducted for the accommodation. It is estimated that profits derived from interest and discounts will be | in excess of 20% per annum. The common stock of the new enter- i ~ prise is held by the officers and directors and the preferred stock is sold bearing 7%. After the preferred and common stock have each received 7%, dividends go one- -third on the preferred and two-thirds mis OB the common. es) _ The Timber Trade Market Overseas Canadian Trade Commissioner J. E. Ray, in a recent report from Manchester, Eng., to the Department of Trade and Commerce, _ Ottawa, says:— Although several of the leading importers of timber have been interviewed, they had very -little information to give that would be of interest to Canadian shippers. Apparently, the firmness of the _market this year has tended to restore confidence, which should have a beneficial effect upon Canadian exports of timber. Comparatively small consignments have found their way recently to Manchester. rived from St. John, and several hundred standards of pine from Montreal. There has also been landed a small shipment of white pine from Quebec. White wood has not appreciated in value so much as red wood, _ but better prices are being commanded, and a further advance is Ris: likely. For a long time, white wood values have been kept down 3 ainly on account of the existence of Government stocks, The $4 Tater, however, are now pesetically exhausted, and spot prices for ud —, re a ae an improvement. Recent baeods have heen quickly cleared out, and ian have risen accordingly. _ yeue impenece states that he has been surprised at i he readiness with winch his stocks have been taken up by engineer- od Imports of Canadian Timber 3 eee building is proceeding under municipal and private enter- but not on so large a scale as to create a big demand for house During the last few days about 1,150 standards of spruce have ar- | CANADA LUMBERMAN 45 timber received at Manchester during the last ten months; but fig- ures are to hand to-day relating to the entire imports of the United Kingdom, in which, of course, Manchester is included. The imports of hewn hard wood were 250,480 loads, compared with 262,759 loads in the first ten months of last year, and 793,947 loads in the corresponding period of 1920. Imports of hewn soft wood were 3,179 loads, compared with 1,399 loads and 20,186 loads in the corresponding periods of 1921 and 1920 respectively. Sawn hard wood imports were 1,841,968 loads, 793,240 loads, and 2,514,563 loads in the first ten months of this year, 1921 and 1920 respectively; while those of sawn soft wood for the same periods in the same date order, were 388,951 loads, 145,124 loads, and 791,333 loads. It will thus be seen that imports from Canada show a large de- crease so far this year in comparison with 1920. The Demand in Argentine for Lumber B. T. Webb, Canadian Trade Commissioner at Buenos Aires, Argentine, in a recent report to the Department of Trade and Com- merce, Ottawa, on the timber requirements of the South American republic, says that it is one of the largest importers of wood and wood products in the world. Mr. Webb adds that this is due to the fact that the centres of population are far removed from native sources of supply and the means of communication between the forests and the cities are still undeveloped; practically all lumber required for construction and general purposes has therefore to be imported from abroad. The total value of the imports, as classi- fied in the Government statistics, under the heading of “Wood and Wood Products,” amounted during the five years 1910-14 to an an- nual ay erage of seventeen millions of Argentine gold pesos, this be- ing the ‘ ‘official value ;” the real commercial value would be about is: per cent. higher. The Argentine gold peso, which is the unit of currency used “in Government statistics governing imports, is ap- proximately equal to the Canadian dollar in value, the actual mine par value being 96.52 cents. With the outbreak of the war, the imports of lumber and lumber products fell off considerably, and in the year 1915 less than seven million dollars’ worth was brought into the country. off may be attributed in part to war conditions, but was also due to- a. certain extent to the collapse of the building boom which was at_ its height in 1913 and had entirely exhausted itself by the end of the following year. The imports for the year 1916 were practically the same as for the year 1915, but 1917 registered a further fall, less than four and a half million dollars’ worth being imported during that year. During the year 1918, however, the tide eee and, as statistics show, there has been a regular increase since, the imports for the year 1920 approximating ten million pesos in value. It will. therefore be seen that while the volume of imports has steadily in- creased during recent years, it is still considerably below the pre-war annual average. As the population tends to increase stéadily (even — if slowly at the present time), and as building operations have been considerably curtailed during the past eight ‘years, and further, as there has been no recent development of. native sources of supply, it is reasonable to assume that the imports of wood and wood pro- ducts will continue to increase until such time as they equal, or surpass, the annual pre-war average. With the exception of poplar, willow, and cedar, nearly all the Argentine timbers are hardwoods with specific gravities greater than that of water. While it is true that poplar and willow are easily accessible, growing as they do in the delta of the river Plate, these woods are not of much value for general purposes, their principal uses being as firewood and for the making of box shooks. Cedar of good quality for general purposes and particularly for the making of furniture, shop ‘fittings, etc., is grown in Tucuman and other pro- vinces, and also in the neighboring republic of Paraguay; very little is imported, most of the few thousand dollars’ w orth Ww hich comes in annually from foreign sources being supplied by Paraguay. So far as the native hardwoods are concerned, these are of numerous varieties, many of them having beautiful grains and being capable of taking high polishes. For this reason they are sometimes used for’ making high- class furniture, but even for this purpose they are not extensively employed, it being found to be more economical and generally satisfactory to make “such furniture from imported veneers on bodies of oak or cedar, as the case may be. The principal use of South American hardwoods is for railway sleepers and fencing posts, Quebracho being most widely used for these purposes. From the above description of the varieties and the uses of lecal woods, it will be seen that the Republic is entirely foreign sources for its supply of softwoods such as pine and fir tim-_ bers for building and general construction work. As a matter of 9 fact, an analysis “of the customs returns shows that this class of lum-~ ber is imported to a very large extent.

Vol. 43 Toronto, January 1, r923 No 1 Lumber Trade Omens for Coming Year The outlook for the coming year-in the lumber trade is reviewed at considerable length in other parts of this edition and needs no extended elaboration. A score or more of representative lumber manufacturers, wholesalers and others have declared in another ~ column of the es ae Lumberman” that stocks are low, some as ~ much as 50% below what was in the mill yards last January, that me prices are vies trade increasing and the connec bright. : Much interest always centres around the future. We are con- _ cerned more largely in what is going to happen than what has hap- _ pened. The past is a closed book and cannot be recalled but, of _ the days that are to come, we like to learn everything concerning _ the business in which we are engaged. When the situation grows steadily hopeful, when those who supply camp and logging equip- ment, sawfnill machinery, yard and railway apparatus, all report that orders have been rolling in rapidly during the past few weeks, there is no mistaking that confidence is firmly in the seat and has hold of the reins. Progress should now be comparatively easy as the road is no longer studded with difficulties and dangers) which were heavy _ handicaps for the industry during the past year and a half. Building _ revival and awakened industrial interests are calling for more wood products all the while. People have almost en masse seized upon _ the idea of owning a home and are giving expressions to their wishes _ as fast as it is possible with the earning power at their disposal. The cut this winter will be considerably larger than a year ago and this applies particularly to spruce in the eastern provinces. A calm survey of the situation reveals the fact that some surprisingly swift advances have taken place recently on certain kinds of woods _ in which there is developing a shortage. It is to be hoped for the _ Stability, influence and safety of the lumber industry that the reach- out-and-grab-all spirit will not permeate the market, the same as _ it did in the early days in 1920 when men sat at their desks and by : calling up customers could buy and sell on a basis that, within ‘ thirty minutes netted them a handsome return. Then there was _ actually no transfer of stock in the sense of cutting, hauling, piling, loading, transporting or was .a case of, metaphori- _ cally passing on a consignment from one dealer to another and each ’ time at a substantial advance. The result was that when the zenith me delivering. It of values was reached in September there came an awful crash. Everybody wanted to unload at once, contracts were cancelled, and - those, who could ill afford it, were caught with heavy stocks on hand. WHardwood producers suffered the most because their pro- _ duct ran into colossal sums of money. However, it has taken a long x time for things to get back to normal. The return has been tedious and it required. the exercise of all the faith and courage that one possessed to keep on going. ae a Ee ae Early this spring signs showed that there was some evidence of solidity to the market, and subsequently the building campaign extended beyond anything ever dreamed of and stocks began to move ~— out. True, the past few months haye not been a money-making _ period with many exponents of the forest products industry but fhe members have rid themselves of the incubus or embarrassment of high-priced stocks, and have taken their losses without a whimper. It is very gratifying at this early period to look around once more at things industrial, commercial and financial and think that — normal conditions again prevail. While a record log cut is-being taken out in some parts of the Dominion, it does not follow that there will be any surplus of stock, The lumber yards in the great — consuming centres of America, as well as the import cities of Great sritain, are depleted. Manufacturers, who are using native and imported hardwoods have also allowed their usual reserve to be greatly reduced. All these things have been brought about through apprehension of a price recession. This move now appears to be © entirely out of the question as the cost of getting out logs will be — a little higher than last year, and with higher wages, stronger dete mand aad: larger export, 1923 should witness a measure “of satis- faction in ae lumber arena that will do much to atone for the Sant disappointments of the last eighteen months. ise are 1921 was a year of heavy. losses and 1922 one of liquidation ee merely breaking even. It is doubtful if many concerns have made worth while earnings. The fact that so many lumber organizations have the sound judgment, long vision and stout-heartedness of the votar- ies of the great enterprise, which is in every way a real man’s busi-- ness, for it brings out all that is truest and best in his make-up and mentality. Why Does Youth Side Step Today? ts Seeee One of the important matters to come up for discussion at the forthcoming annual meeting of the Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association in Windsor, this month is apprentices for planing mills. Of late years very few young men have been coming into the wood- working ranks. ‘This is due, no doubt, to a number. of catises, some > of ee are attributable to the young men themselves and ‘others to the proprietors of the establishments. Wages, it is declared, have been too low, hours too long and the future unattractive. In a few years, unless there is an influx of new blood, the planing mill will be. almost deserted so far as adaq »table young men are concerned. Nowadays a walk aaeodel any establishment will reveal that the greater number of employees are men past middle age, and when these die off or retire on account of old age or infirmities, there is no trained recruit to fill their places. Conditions seem to be Gene worse instead of better. Just why more young men do not Piet fe woodworking arena, it is difficult to tell. Some blame it on labor unions in limiting the number of employees, others on the lack of training facilities out- side of those provided by labor unions and still others on the COIs petition of other trades at higher pay. This matter was discussed recently at the National Retail leaehe: + ber Dealers’ Association in Cleveland. It was generally agreed that 3 one of the best ways to secure boys was to encourage trade schools or the manual training department of public schools. These institu- tions not only familiarize lads with the machines in different indus- tries, but give them an opportunity to discover what trade they like | best. It is costly for the proprietor and for the boy also, to bring him in to a plant and find, after a few months’ service, that he has no — liking or adaptation for the business and would rather be an electri-_ clan, a wireless operator or a street railway motorman. Do Not Make By-Word of Service 2 ; Some men succeed in spite of circumstances. They seem to over-ride and over-rule every law of failure, opposition, depression © or system. These however, are the exceptions. The great majority — go down and under because they live too much to themselves, Self- ishness is the chief expression of their lives and deep down their — hearts are tinged with that Vanderbiltian attitude “the public be dammed.” members often put up with most indifferent and dissatisfactory ser- vice imaginable because theyi have to. R There is possibly not any other avenue of relief at the moment or one follows the line of least resistance, yet every retailer, whether in the lumber line or hardware, grocery, harness, dryg goods or fur-— niture, will speak about service and prompt delivery when it is the last thing on earth that he seriously thinks of or really believes in. It has become a somewhat trite expression which he hears on all sides’ and he thinks he might as well appropriate its use as anybody else.

A lumber merchant may fool the pub- alts part of the time but he cannot fool all the public all the time, and the sooner he recognizes it, the better. . There are almost as many different definitions and conceptions of service as there are of goodwill. Possibly the most succinct and comprehensive meaning. is that of having a stock of. the proper quality and the goods ‘delivered on the premises when promised or : a even before. This may sound very simple and elementary but the more one looks upon it, the broader its significance and the more outstanding its details. Bs Many pages might be written about service but, in the lumber line, it all resolves itself into the ideas already set forth. These were uttered, not by any large city dealer or big manufacturer, but by a small retailer at a cross-country section who has built up a name for himself in that locality. His business has attained a proportion which, if the figures were published, would appear staggering to some men in the larger towns—and he has done this all through service. - He has the lumber, he has the delivery equipment and he keeps his word. How many others can say the same? Need of Proper Accounting System _ Many men are running a business to-day at a loss, and one of the chief contributing causes is the lack of a proper accounting system. It is the little leaks which sap the vitality and undermine the strength of any concern, and these insidious wastes go on from _ day to day without those in charge giving heed or trying in any way to remedy them. There is a lamentable lack of information on the cost of doing business and what represents overhead; how turnover should be figured; what constitutes a margin of profit; are delivery costs too high; what proportion of the total expense of a lumber business should the planing mill bear, etc. Very few retailers know or give much attention to these important details. They are often ready to __ take a job on which they lose money just because Mr. Blank up the street will do it for so and.so. They infer if Blank can do it and live, _ they are in a much better position financially than he is and should be able to stand the gaff. As has been frequently said, there is too much guesstimating and not enough estimating. What is needed is getting down to basic facts. The time has come when a yardman or a planing mill man must have accurate knowledge of every item of expense enter- ing into the cost of doing business. There is so much evidence in every line at present that quality and service generally win and there are no long prices today on which to make a nice clean-up in profits, as was the case a few years ago. ‘The public is too wellacquainted with lumber values and the only way to make money in this era is frequency of turnover. Success depends on doing a large business at a comparatively small profit. ia The National Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association of the United States has appointed a Cost Accounting Committee which _ will keep up its work until an easy, adequate and practical system of cost accounting is discovered which will be suitable for all kinds of - lumber yards, big and little. Retailers are beginning to realize that the man, who gets furthest ahead to-day in the race for expansion _ and wealth is he who has his affairs at all times well in hand. The _ lumber merchant, who gives definite, progressive thought to his own __ business, is the one who is willing to receive points from others and _ also give others the benefit of his own experience. a The function of an accounting system, of course, has nothing to _ do with prices or the margin of profit. It deals only with the actual a cost of buying, storing and selling the various lines that are carried in stock, When the day arrives so that the average retailer will _ know exactly what a thing costs him and can fix a price that will net a fair profit, it will seem as if a new Bere of prosperity was _ Close at hand. ae What Retailer Can do in Spare Time ; There arises from time to time in all businesses dull periods or slack moments when nothing much can be done. The weather is favorable or all big jobs have been completed and there are none hand ‘for a few days. The rush is over and before another one _ Degins the question often arises with the retail lumberman what he should do to fill in the time. Instead of bemoaning fate and sit-. ting around with an air of anguish or indifference there are plenty tasks at hand to which he can give attention. One of the pertin- problems that a man can face. is that of self-analysis. Does he er take a few minutes to step out of his own shell, so to speak, d view himself by large and small-in the matter of honor, respect, i gence, character and Biepose, CANADA LUMBERMAN 47 Does he ever stop to consider what there is about his business that would or should cause buyers to come to him for their building needs instead of going to a competitor. Does he check up wherein he has fallen down on some contract or job, how the other fellow got some business or why his turnover last season was not as as it should have been. Does he seek to discover but which, at the same time, ness? great leaks that may appear insignificant are sapping the vitality of the busi- Does he examine his premises, his yard, his delivery equip-= ment, to see that everything is up to the mark? What about the employees? Does he endeavor to find whether they are efficient, courteous and industrious? There are a score of things which the average retailer can at- tend to when there is a lull in trade or the weather in unpropitious for outdoor work. It is then when he gets an opportunity to do something, and, among the tasks which he can carry out, as sug- gested by the “American Lumberman,” are: Check insurance poli- cies. See that all property is adequately covered; that one part is not over insured while another part is inadequately covered. Go over credit accounts, segregate those that are most in need of attention and lay plans for collecting them. ‘Check over the list of customers. If some who formerly were liberal purchasers have quit buying, record that fact and make a point of finding out why. Make a survey and an estimate of the coming year’s business. Have trucks, wagons and other vehicles and equipment thoro- ughly inspected and give orders to have all needed repairs made. Plan the part to be taken in the program of the annual conven- tion of the association. Suggest to the secretary well in advance subjects that may be profitably discussed. Inspect the sheds and the office, and plan for necessary repair- ing and painting. If during the year there have occurred some shortages of stock, investigate the cause with a view to adopting methods of buying that ill prevent them in future. Have the yard men straighten up all piles that are in disorder and return to its place stock that has been misplaced during the rush. Plan for inventory taking so that it will be sure to go through smoothly and accurately. The Neglected Factor Mr. Sherman, of the Westinghouse Union Battery Com- pany, says that one reason why national advertising cam- paigns failed in 1921 was that the dealer was not advertis- ing. He feels that more attention must be paid than hereto- fore to selling the advertising idea to the retailer through whom the goods are being sold to the general public. It is hinted, that one of the causes for the recent failure of the manufacturer of Ingersoll watches was lack of atten- tion tc the dealer. The manufacturer advertised heavily to the consumer, but when it came to real work on the dealer, there was little interest shown. “Class” regards these two statements as significant. They show that many manufacturers have given the trade too little consideration, and that the merchant has been a ne- glected factor. Too many manufacturers have thought that consumer advertising was the whole story, and that carry- ing on a national campaign to the general public gave them a franchise, so to speak, entitling them to the interest, co- operation and support of the retailer. This is a huge mistake. The dealer is interested in ad- vertising, and appreciates its value as a merchandising stimu- lus, but there are many things about the product that he wants to know before he gets enthusiastic to the point of spending his own money in support of the manufacturer’s efforts. Consumer advertising does not always impress him as the major reason in favor of stocking and pushing a given item. More attention to the trade will conserve advertising ef- forts. Cultivation of the retailer will pay dividents. Tell the merchants, through their own trade publicaticns, what you are doing. Seek their interest and support on a business basis—that you have a good article, priced to yield a profit, and capable of being sold to advantage in the dealer’s store. Make a friend of the merchant, and justify the friendship by the advantages a connection with you will bring—From Class, Chicago. A woodlot on every farm, maintained under the rules of scien- tific forestry, drawn upon for fuel annually, would make about half of the population of Canada wholly independent of the coal miners and the coal-mine operators in the matter of keeping the home fires burning. 48 Mr. O’Leary Organizes His Own Company A newcomer in the list of wholesale lumber concerns of the Metropolitan District is the O’Leary Lumber Company, just incorporated, under the laws of New Jersey, and already an active, going concern.. The active head of the new company is P. J. O’Leary,. who has been identified with the trade here for some ten years and is well known in the trade of the dis- trict and contiguous territory, says the New York “Lumber Trade Journal.” Mr. O’Leary launches his ship of commerce after many years of experience in those lines of lumber which will be the leaders in his list of offerings to the trade, namely: white pine ‘and spruce. Though young in years he is a veteran in lumber, for he has been in it for twenty- one years in every department of manufacture and distribution. site began with the famous old house of Skillings, Whitneys & Barnes iaiaber Company, at Ogdensburg, N.Y., amtiere he learned lumber on the ground, and advanced through various positions of executive character. About ten years ago he came to New York to join the force of E. H. Daley Lumber “Company, and was Vice-President of that Company up to the time of his resignation a few weeks ago. In New York he has been chiefly engaged in the sales field, and - in ' the time that he has been there he has “established a wide acquaintance with lumber buyers of the district and nearby territory including Long Island, New Jersey, Westchester and Connecticut. During the war Mr. O Leary was a lumber engineer with the War Depart- ment, having full charge of the Lumber Utilization Section, Bureau of Aircraft Production in the Boston District. His practical know- ledge of lumber being of great value in the construction of Aero- planes. He begins business at a time when conditions are favor- able for the kind of encouragement that a new concern needs; but P. J. O'Leary, New York City aside from that, there is behind the new enterprise, expert know-_ ledge of the product and adequate sources of supply. Mr. O’Leary is well known in Canada, being an old Orillia boy and during his collegiate days was an all around champion athlete, his characteristic aggressiveness being learned on the lacrosse field.. He was married October last to Miss Maude Leahy in Peter- : borough, Ont. Many friends in the lumber industry in Canada, will wish him abundant success in his new business enterprise. Sawmill Equipment in Good Demand The Wm. Hamilton Co., Limited, Peterboro, Ont., report a de- cided improvement in the demand for sawmill and lath mill ma- chinery, as is evidenced by the large number of inquiries received during the past three months and the volume of business closed. The increase, while it has not been rapid, has been substantial and the prospects, the firm state, look much better now. Greater con- kn) Mie al Oe Es tl le ee lt he, eee settled basis. The demand for lath machinery is quite brisk at the present time and considerable business is being offered. Improvement is also noted in the pulp and paper equipment line and the prospects for additional installations are getting better all the while. Alto- gether the company say their plant is now running full time with about 75% of normal staff. J Pe The Lack of Economic Intelligence Actuated by a desire to advance the study, and more general Bee eeetion of economics, Alvan T. Simonds, President “of. the Simonds Saw Company of Fitchburg, Mass. and Chicago, Ill., pro- poses an essay contest open to pupils of high schools “and normal schools in the United States and Canada. Mr. Simonds offers two prizes of $1,000 and 500 for the best essays written by students on the subject: “The lack of economic intelligence and some of the injuries it has caused individual and general welfare since 1860.

L.A. to be Held at the New Mount Royal Hotel, January 24th. and 25th.—Attendance Promises to be the Largest on Record The best and. biggest convention of the Canadian Lumbermen’s Association is the aim and object of the Montreal lumbermen who are cooperating to entertain the delegates at the forthcoming annual meeting. They are working energetically to that end. Although the plans from the local end are naturally not yet of a definite char- acter, they are sufficiently advanced to show that visitors will not lack anything which will make for a successful convention, looked ‘at from the social side. The burden of the preliminary work fell to the lot of J. B. White and G. W. Grier. At their invitation a meeting of lumbermen was held at the Board of Trade rooms, Montreal on December 12th, at which Mr. White invited the support of the Montreal industry in en- tertaining the delegates. The question of ways and means was dis- cussed, the meeting being of the opinion that nothing should be left undone to give the visitors a warm welcome and the utmost hospi- tality. The meeting was largely attended and was representative of almost every section of the industry. The Committees for the Convention ~The following Committees were appointed :— Central Committee:—Messrs. E. H. Lemay, chairman; J. B. White (Riordon Co., Limited), vice-chairman; George W. Grier, (G. A. Grier & Sons, Ltd.); D. H. McLennan (McLennan Lumber Co., Ltd.); Arthur H. Campbell (Campbell, MacLaurin Lumber Co., Ltd.) ; Alex. Fenton (Riordon Co., Limited), secretary-treasurer. Finance Committee:—Messrs. J. S. Bock (Eagle Lumber Co., Attractive cafe of Mount Royal Hotel, Montreal Limited); L. G. Gravel (Gravel Lumber Co., Limited) ; G. A. Graff- tey;; W. B. Blair (Blair Bros., Limited); W. A. Filion (E. H. Le- may); J. B. Knox (Knox Bros., Limited); E. C. Plant (E. C. Plant Lumber Co.); T. Prefontaine ( T. Perfontaine & Co.). Entertainment Committee :——Messrs. J. G. Shearer (J. Shearer Co., Limited) ; W. Arthur Grafftey (Montreal Lumber Co., Limited) ; A. E. Grier (G. A. Grier & Sons, Limited). Dance Committee:— Messrs. G. C. Goodfellow; Gordon Walk- late (Trans-Canada Lumber Co., Limited); S. Rutherford (Grier puameer Co: Limited); J: S. ‘Bock; V.°Treversy, Jr. (Traversy, _ Limited.). Luncheon Committee:—Messrs. C. Villiers, (Canadian General Lumber Co., Limited); J. P. MacLaurin (St. Maurice Paper Co., Limited); J. R. Haines, (McLennan Lumber Co., Limited); W. T. Mason (Mason, Gordon Co.; Limited.). _~ Ladies’ Committee—Mesdames J. B. White, D. H. McLennan, mH. Campbell, A. E. Grier,-J.G. Shearer, C. Villiers. s On December 19th the members of the committees met at the Mount Royal Hotel. A. E. Clark, president of the Association, pre- sided and Frank Hawkins, secretary, came from Ottawa to be pre- sent. Both gave the committees details as to other conventions with a view to making adequate arrangements: ____ The discussion mainly dealt with financial matters such as me- 3 thods of raising money, the possible attendance, etc. It was ar- ranged that the Finance Committee would commence active work the first week in 1923. It was-also arranged that the Montreal lumbermen should be responsible for arranging a luncheon for the ladies on January 24th, a luncheon for the delegates on the same day and a dinner-dance in the evening. Five Hundred Delegates Anyway - The programme of entertainment. for the ladies will probably include a theatre party, tobogganing party or drive to the moun- tain, and tea parties. At the weekly luncheon of the Montreal Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association on December 20th, J. S. Bock asked for the co- operation of members of the association in making the convention an outstanding success and for the means to carry out the plans in view. The speakers for the banquet on the night of January 26th were arranged for by J. B. White and G. W. Grier. The chief speakers will be the Hon. Walter ‘Mitchell, K.C., M.P. Provincial Treasurer of Quebec, and Dr. Gordon, Laing B.A., Professor of the Faculty of Arts, McGill University. Frank Hawkins, of Ottawa, secretary of the Canadian Lum- bermen’s Association, says that reservations are coming in rapidly for the annual convention which will be held in Montreal, January 24th and 25th, and it is advisable that delegates should notify the secretary so as to be assured of accommodation. The Secretary of the Canadian Lumbermen’s Association says that first and, as a matter of considerable importance, the Mount Royal Hotel will be in thorough running order and delegates and friends need have no apprehension regarding their comfort and con- venience not being adequately provided for. When Mr. Hawkins told Mr. Cardy, manager of the Mount Royal, in response to a question that the C.L.A. expected to have five hundred delegates Mr. Cardy replied, *Good! ‘Make it a thousand.” An effort will be made to get through the routine business of the Association by noon on Wednesday 24th so as to leave Wed- nesday afternoon and the whole of Thursday January 25th for a red-hot discussion on the floor. The officers of the Association are endeavoring to make arrangements to have short addresses on the problems which confront the lumber business. These addresses will be delivered by eminent authorities and it can be safely said that the two days’ convention will touch the high-water mark of achievement. Eee The Canadian Lumbermen’s Association was organized in August 1908 and the forthcoming meeting will be its fifteenth annual.

Some people like the phrase a “figures never lie;” but figures do lie if used incorrectly. Many . business failures, especially among retailers, when analysed, are ¥ found to be the result of insufficient knowledge, in arriving at a _ __—s correct selling price. Not a few men ‘have worked diligently and ¥e thought they were making a profit and later found that their figur- + ing had netted them a loss. This kind of figuring is not the result of lack of acquaintance with the practical end of the business, but not knowing how to figure all items to secure a fair net profit. Eliminate All Guesswork Perhaps the man who gets into the worst hole is the one who guesses or says he “ought” to make so much by marking his product at a hit or miss price. Supposing a man bought a car of oak floor- ing at $155 per M. If he didn’t make a practice of doing his cal- culating on a sure basis when he sold a thousand feet of flooring, _ his figuring to arrive at a selling price would be something like this :-— YX SEM ie VACA A So aa Gard ake bees $155.00 Pam on Of COST) co bende ee. 15.50 Dearth: sho tee By. bia 8 ewe vie vs $170.50 He would now mark his commodity at say $205 and trust to luck that the difference ($34.50) would more than cover the overhead and perhaps he might make a little more than his 10% net profit.

Of course, not many dealers are doing business this way, but there are some depending on making their bread and butter by ~ such hopeless guessing. Another instance where figures are juggled badly is when a man knows his cost of doing business but does not know, clearly, how to use his knowledge. He finds at the end of the year, or whenever he analyses his books, that his expenses amounted to 20% of his sales. On the strength of this knowledge he figures something like this. i Me am nies VU MRC eters. ox «A Sie od ncleseh dele cuales a $155 Bx. meen Ao LOL MCOSt)) Sic)...

In the second instance this per- ‘centage was applied to the sales at cost prices. This is the error too ~ often made by business men. Suppose the cost of a given article or commodity is $1 and the merchant wishes to add a margin of 33- 1/3 % to the selling price, how would he figure it? Adding 33 1/3% to the cost will not give the desired result because: 33 1/3% of $1 equals 33 1/3%. $1 plus 33 1/3% equals $1.33 1/3 or selling price. ~ 33 1/3 cents divided by $1.33 1/3 equals 25%. Hence, instead of earning 33 1/3% on the selling price, as he had planned, the busi- ess man would actually earn 25% only, because different basis of calculation were used.

If a 10% profit of sales is desired and it is known that commerciai burden or overhead takes 20% of: sales, one has therefore, accounted for 30% of the 100%. The cost of | material ($155) must then represent the remaining 70%. . The rule for obtaining the selling price whether the figures are | in cents or in millions is this: Divide the cost by the percentage 100 it represents. The answer will be the selling price, ($155 by Vee, 4 . 4 70 $221.43—the selling price). After the selling price is determined it is easy to figure how much profit is made by the use of the per- centages. ; ————— Changes in Toronto Wholesale Lumber Firm Terry & Gordon, Limited, wholesale lumber dealers, YLronto, — have sent out notices to the trade announcing that from January _ Ist the following changes will be effected in the firm:—"A.

It had been decided to sell the Manicouagan River timber limits which are situated on that river on the north shore. The area of the limits is about 2,000 square — miles and the location is contiguous to the limits of the Ontario Paper Co., of Thorold, from which a large quantity of pulpwood is being taken out regularly by that organization. The importance of the sale is evidenced by the fact that a deposit of $150,000 will be® asked from the successful bidder as a guarantee that he will carry out the terms of the contract. Hon. Honore Mercier, Minister of © Lands and Forests, will preside over the sale. Lumberman Who Possesses Public Spirit } Charles S. Anglin was recently returned as an alderman for the ' third year for Frontenac Ward in the city of Kingston, Ont. He has served on the Fire and Light and Health Committees with effi- ciency and zeal, and the fact that he has been elected by acclama- tion to serve another term as a city father, is a tribute to the re- gard in which he is held by the ratepayers. Mr. Anglin is superintendent of the Sydenham St. Methodist Church Sunday School and is a member of the Church Board. He is also a director of the Rotary and the local Y:M:C.A., and belongs to the 1.0.0.F and the A.F. & A.M. His brother, Francis: Anglin, is at present a member of the Public School B ard and ae ae oe ee ie Kiwanis Club and during the year 1921 was chairman of the Board of Education. The business of S. Anglin & Co., is one of the oldest in Eastern Ontario, having been founded by the late Samuel Anglin in 1866. _ The firm are extensive lumber and coal merchants and their well a equipped factory, mills and offices are located at the corner of Well- ington & Bay Sts. The late Samuel Anglin was a member of the City Council and the Board of Education for several years serving for one term as presiding officer of the latter body. In his day he was a staunch Conservative and a warm personal friend of the late Sir John A. Macdonald.

According to the chapter of lumbering or “Wood-Cutting” in a volume entitled “Enterprise, In- dustry and Art of Man,” published at Boston in 1845 by Bradbury, — Souden & Company, logging was an exceedingly crude process in the region which then supplied the bulk of all the lumber produced in the United States, which was New England, chiefly Maine, says a statement by the historic research department of the National Lumber Manufacturing Association. The motive power of the simple and squalid logging camps of those days was oxen instead of steam or electric logging railways, automotive tractors, overhead trolleys, flumes, etc. The means of _ conveyence of the logs from forest to mill was entirely by river cur- rent instead of by railroad and towed rafts, as is so largely done to- day. It may be that some of the loggers in modern lumbering camps _ think that they have a very hard life of it at only three to five dol- lars a day with meals that would put most hotels to shame for quali- ty and all of them for quantity; with private rooms, baths, libraries, » longing rooms, gramphones, radio, moving pictures, etc. But they are in a material heaven compared with their fellows of 1845, who endured the severe winters of the Maine wilderness in structures that were a little better than the tepees of the Indians, not even a stovepipe being provided for the smoke from the cooking fire in the centre of the logging hut. However, the account of the anony- mous author speaks for itself and is as follows: pa is Source of Comfort and Luxury pe “We have already seen the operations of human enterprise and _, art in fishing, hunting and mining—but the forest is as important a source of comfort and luxury as any of these. The habitations of “men, as well as the greater part of their furniture; many of the most useful utensils of refined, as well as barbarous life; the conoe of the savage, and the ship of the civilized; the fuel of a large portion ot the human race the greater part of the machinery of manufacturing countries—are dependent upon the vegetable productions of the forest. The spontaneous supply of such materials suited to the mul- tiplied wants of man, is a theme which may well excite the grateful admiration of every reflecting mind. “This subject is too vast to be fully considered here; we shall _ only attempt to present one or two topics, which, however, may serve as an index to the whole. “The great forests of the continent of North America afford the most plentiful supplies of timber, from which not only our own country, but the British dominions in Europe and elsewhere, derive their materials for~ship-building and other purposes. These sup- plies, of course, are obtained chiefly from those districts which lie near the ocean, as the labor of transporting so bulky an article to navigable waters, constitutes the greater part of the expense of ob- taining it. Great Britain procures-her American timber from Can- ada and Newfoundland. The Atlantic States of the Union obtain _ their supplies chiefly from the forests of Maine. A valuable species of oak called “live oak,” is produced in the neighborhood of Florida, and this is used chiefly in the construction of our ships of war: The _ State of North Carolina furnishes a species of yellow pine, and Mas- sachusetts and New Hampshire abound with white oak, both of __ which are used to a great extent in ship-building of all sorts. a Persons who Make up the Party i “The timber procured from the woods of New Brunswick, and _. Maine is chiefly white pine and spruce. The business of felling this _ timber and bringing it to market is called “lumbering,” the word “lumber” being an American appellation for boards and timber in a rough state. This business employs a large number of persons, both English and American. A “lumbering party” is composed of a certain number of persons either hired by a master lumberer, who ays them wages and finds them provisions, or of individuals who _ enter into an understanding with each other to have a joint interest in the proceeds of their labor. The necessary supplies of provisions, — clothing, etc., are generally obtained from the merchants on credit, | consideration of receiving the timber which the lumberers are _ to bring down the river the following summer. The stock deemed requisite for a lumbering party consists of axes, a cross-cut saw, ae . cooking utensils, a cask of rum, tabacco and pipes, a large supply of biscuits, pork, beens, fish, peas, etc., for soup, with a cask of molas- ses to sweeten the beer which they draw from spruce and and hem- lock. Two or three yoke of oxen, with sufficient hay to feed them, are also required to haul the timber out of the woods. “When all is ready, the lumberers proceed up the rivers into the thickest of the woods, where they select a favorable spot for their work, which is as near a stream of water as possible. They begin by clearing away a few of the surrounding trees, and building a log hut, which is roofed with bark, and provided with a cellar for lodg- ing such of their goods as are liable to injury from the frost. The fire-place is in the middle of the hut, and the smoke goes out through a hole in the roof. Hay, straw, or branches of trees are spread on the ground, on which they lie down at night to sleep, with their feet to the fire which is kept constantly alive. One per- son officiates as cook, whose duty it is to have breakfast ready be- fore daylight, at which time all the party rise, and each takes his “morning”, or the indispensable dram of spirits before breakfast.. Immediately after this meal, they divide into three “gangs,” one of which cuts down the trees, another hews them and the third is employed with the oxen or horses in hauling the timber either to one general road leading to the banks of the nearest stream, or at once to the stream itself. The whole winter is thus spent in unre- mitting labor. The ground is covered with snow two or three feet deep from the beginning of winter until April, and in the midst of the woods until nearly the end of May. When the thaws come on in April, the rivers rise, or in the phrase of the lumberers, the “fresh- ets come down.” At this time, all the timber cut during the winter is thrown into the water and floated down the head streams, until the river becomes sufficiently wide to make the whole collection into rafts. Floating Rafts Down St. Lawrence “The construction of the vast masses of timber floated down the St. Lawrence and other great streams of North America is gen- erally as follows. The raftsmen commence floating twenty or more pieces of timber alongside of each other, with the ends into a line. © These ends are then bound close together by placing logs across, and binding one log to another with poles and switches. The size of the raft is then increased by adding pieces of timber in the same manner, until the whole lot to be rafted is joined together in one flat mass. The water at this season is excessively cold, yet for weeks together the lumberers are in it from morning till night; and seldom less than six weeks elapse from the time that the floating of the tim- ber commences, till the rafts are delivered to the merchants, “Hardly any course of life can more surely undermine the con- stitution, or be more injurious to health than that of a liumberer and raftsman. The winter snow and frost although severe, are nothing to endure in comparison with the extreme coldness of the snow-water of the freshets, in which he is, day after day, wet up to the middle, and very often immersed from head to foot. The very vitals are thus chilled and sapped. The intense heat of a summer sun, a transition which almost immediately follows, must further weaken and reduce the whole frame and premature old age is the in- evitable fate of a lumberer. But notwithstanding all the toils of such a pursuit, those who once adopt this life seem fascinated with it and prefer it to any other. They are, in most respects, as independent as the Indians. After disposing of their rafts, they pass some weeks in idle indul- gence, drinking, smoking, and dashing off in a long coat, dandy waistcoat and trousers, a handkerchief of many colors around the neck, a watch with a long tinsel chain and numerous brass seals, and an umbrella. At the end of the warm season they throw offi all this finery, return to the woods, and recommence their laborious oc- cupation. The advice to plant nut-bearing trees for shade and ornament in the older settled section of Canada is good, but, as most of it comes from other countries where the conditions are different, 7 mtist be taken with discretion. One very useful point in a recciit article was to the effect that walnuts may be grown wherever ] es thrive. It is true that walnut trees have been grown where es are not generally cultivated, but as a rule the walnut will attain its best development where it is too cold to grow peaches. : ee ee * ee > oe ened iin at ” being cut. 54 Budget of Briefs From Busy East Archibald Fraser, a prominent lumberman of the province of New Brunswick, and also a ee of large pulp and timber lands in Nova Scotia, passed through John recently en route to Hali- fax: Speaking of the pulp aie he said it is not at present very promising, partly due to the fact that Scandinavian countries are becoming serious competitiors with Canadian pulp in the United States. In the lumber industry, however, he said, there will be a large cut this year in the New Brunswick woods which is an indication of pre-war conditions. He pointed out that inquiries from overseas showed an improvement and that the United States market is good. With reference to the prospects of the pulp and paper industry in Nova Scotia, Mr, Fraser said, he believed them (bright. He point- ed out that there is a lot of good wood there, but the water power he believed too small for any very extensive development in this line. He said it takes 10,000 horse-power to make one ‘hundred tons of newsprint a day. With reference to forest conservation his idea is to keep the forests free of fires. He believes that if fire can be prevented the forests will not need any reforestation. From reports reaching the correspondent of the “Canada Lum- berman” from all sections of the Province of New Brunswick lath sawing operations are exceptionally brisk. This is evidently mak- ing quite a difference in the size of the cut in many sections. From Fredericton comes the report that despite lateness of the season many applications are being received there for sawmill licenses. Just what quantity of lumber will be cut in the province of New Brunswick this season is problematical but as near as can be esti- mated it will be somewhere in the vicinity of 400,000,000 feet. This is twice as large as last season and is very encouraging. In some sections men are still in demand in order to rush to completion big contracts. This great activity is attributed to improved market conditions. On Crown lands in the province it is estimated that over 200,000,000 feet will be cut. For some time large quantities of pulpwood have been piled along the railways and other places in New Brunswick, but these are at last disappearing, having been bought up. From the northern part of the province it is reported that large quantities of pulpwood are now There is also a good cut of railway ities. One prominent lumberman, when asked recently about how many men are employ- ed in the lumber industry in the woods this season said it would be quite hard to estimate accurately, but thought there would be at least nine thousand. This has helped to solve the unemployment problem in this province and has been the means of a livelihood for many. . Hon. C. W. Robinson, Minister of Lands and Mines of New Brunswick, while in St. John recently said that there is a great de- mand for lath and that extra large amounts are being cut. In con- nection with their manufacture he pointed out that they are being produced from the lumber that had been killed by the spruce bud- worm. Even with the huge amount being utilized for this purpose he said that large quantities of dead spruce and fir still standing could not be salvaged before it is past being of use for this purpose. Asked about reports that there would be. an exceptionally heavy lumber cut this season, he said, that although it would be much greater than last year he did not expect that the season’s cut would be more than normal. Recent heavy snowfall was not greatly appreciated by lumber- men throughout the province as in many sections it has made team- ing very difficult. The car shortage has proved to be a handicap to provincial shippers, who are daily clamoring for more. Senator FP. B. Black of Sackville is operating two lumber camps this season in the Upper Aboushagan district in Westmoreland county. A report from Harcourt N. B. says that lumbering operations in that district are being carried on somewhat more extensively than was the case last year. Bert L. Keswick has a large crew of men employed at his mill at Upper Main River, mostly laths. Robert Shirley has contracted with the Fraser Company to cut and get out to the river bank two million feet. James Fahey has a camp operat- ing back of Birch Ridge and has twenty-five men there. He expects to be busy cutting and hauling until late in the spring. At Clairville, John Brown, has resumed operations about three miles back of the village of Adamsville. Adam Robinson, also of Olairville, has about forty men employed in his camp to the north of Harcourt. As a result of this the report adds that, with the increase in the number of men employed in the camps and the higher rate of pay which men are getting, life has assumed a much } brighter prospect than it had a year ago, CANADA LUMBERMAN CEG Tat OP tame ate Ce Two timber berths were sold recently at ne ee lated rae ; in Fredericton.

Pulpwood Demand Shows Some Increase The pulpwood business, insofar as it refers to the district of Quebec, has somewhat improved. Those engaged in the trade make the statement that the demand from the American mills is on the ‘increase and that the minimum of transportation is more satisfac- tory since the arrangement was made between the American rail- roads to release Canadian cars. The Quebec dealers do not expect _. to make very heavy shipments of pulpwood to the United States mills this winter. They say that not more than fifty per cent. normal will be shipped and this largely to the Watertown, N.Y. district at a price of $19 per cord, delivered at the mills, In regard to the stock on hand at the various bases of supply, _ the dealers say that though ample for present demand, it is only one-half the quantity what it was in the past. The farmers did not cut pulpwood to any extent last summer on their woodlands owing to the slowness of demand and depreciation in prices, but it is an- ticipated that the prices will take an upward trend this winter to induce the farmers to cut a large supply of wood for shipment next. summer. In the meantime the limit holders are preparing to cut a large quantity of pulpwood for the Canadian paper mills this com- ing season along with the big cut of logs for the manufacture of deals and square timber, for which they expect a good demand in 1923.

Eddy, with which organization he has been identified ever since, rising from an humble post to be the directing head of the firm and enjoying the esteem and respect of its 3,000 employees. Believe Building Papers Will Boom | The Strathcona Paper Co., Limited, of Strathcona, Ont., who are manufacturers of all grades of boxboard, building and wrapping papers state that they believe 1923 will be a good one and the out- look for building is bright. Prices for sheathing papers will, they think, remain about the same. The company are now putting their beater room and boiler rooms into shape so that they will run both machines during the coming year. Pulpwood Curve Shows Upward Trend E. A. Sterling, vice-president of the Lincoln Mills, Limited who have mills at Merritton, Ont., and Little Cascapedia, Que., is in charge of the Woods Department of that organization. In a recent _ letter on the pulpwood production, prices and outlook, Mr. Sterling says :— The improved trend in the Bako and paper market should logi- - cally increase production and create a strong demand for pulpwood at higher prices. Actually, according to my observation, this has _ not taken place to the extent which might be expected, although the curve of pulpwood demand and prices ‘has shown a definite upward trend for some time. There is considerable ood on hand at some of the mills, while others have reduced their inventory to the point where it must be replenished during the winter. On the whole, the pulpwood supply at the mills seems to show a great irregularity, but we are advised that the totals or averages of the stocks on hand are below normal. Of the old wood on hand for sale, there are comparatively large _ supplies in some localities, but the wood ‘has greatly deteriorated, and must ‘be culled heavily to’ be acceptable. Moreover, this wood r ist be por before spring, or it will have little or no value, Ap- ed i) led 4 ¥ “lS ior Fes Teen CANADA LUMBERMAN parently some of the mills are waiting for new wood rather than buying the old, which perhaps accounts for the lighter demand than would be expected in view of the increased production. At best it is a difficult situation to analyze, and we do not look for any mark- ed change during the next two or three months. Vf Evidence Heard in Pulpwood Suit Evidence has been concluded in the proceedings in which the Chicoutimi Pulp Co., of Chicoutimi, Que., is claiming from thirty- two insurance companies $1,020,000 for losses sustained through a fire which in July last destroyed about 28,000 tons of mechanical pulp in the yards of the company at Port Alfred which is not far from Ha Ha Bay. The insurance companies contend that the de- mands made on the policies were too high. An arbitration was, therefore, resorted to under the provision of the Quebec Insurance law. Beck & Co., of London, England, and the Molsons Bank are interested with the Chicoutimi Company in the insurance claims. The arbitrators are the Right Hon. C. J. Doherty, K. C., chair- man; the Hon. accountant. Port Alfred, where the fire took place, is a newly-constructed town at the end of Ha Ha Bay.’ It is the shipping point for the products of ‘three of the largest sulphate mills in the Chicoutimi dis- trict, and the pulp which was destroyed was the production of a | The © hundred days of work in ithe Chicoutimi and Val Jalbert Mills. pulp was awaiting shipment to Europe. } New Line Will Tap Much Pulpwood A. G. Slaght, of Toronto, in an address delivered recently be- fore the Kiwanis ‘Club, said that the extension of the Temiskaming & Northern Ontario Railway from Cochrane to James Bay would be © a ‘paying investment. This line of 185 miles is being built by the Ontario Government at an ultimate cost of $12,000,000. power potentially of 500,000 h.p. will be tapped as well as a coun- try rich in pulpwood, timber, precious metals, etc. Mr. Slaght made the declaration that the pulp and paper resources along the new route justified the building of the railway and said that several large plants would be established in the north as a result of the new country which is being opened wp. Will Pulpwood Embargo be Extended? The embargo on pulpwood exports from Canadian Crown lands is likely to be extended to all forest lands in the Dominion, says ~ Chief Forester William B. Greeley in the annual report of the For- est Service, United States Department of Agriculture, recently is- sued at Washington. Should this be done, completely shut off as a source of supply for the paper industry of the United States. The paper mills of this country now draw one- third of their requirements from Canada, and northeastern mills _ have already been seriously handicapped by the present embargo. “This illustrates,” the report continues, “the hazard of becom- ing dependent upon foreign supplies. The rapid increase in lumber shipments through the Panama Canal foreshadows the time, in the near future, when the principle source of soft wood lumber for the entire nation will have shifted to the west coast and the average freight cost paid by the home builder or manufacturer will have ad- vanced to a new and higher level. “Wien the coniferous virgin timber of the far West is exhausted in its turn, if the principal source of supply shifts to Siberia or South — America, the transportation conditions which control the present lumber market will become different only in degree. Further, as the sources of supply become more restricted and more distant from the principal centres of consumption, opportunities for competition are lessened; and temporary shortages due to ‘bad seasons, labor troubles, or congestion of transportation facilities are more prob-— Thus the conditions of the trade become — able and more severe. more favorable to monopolistic control, tions, and to high prices, to violent market fluctua- Water © he adds, raw wood from Canada will be ~ A.

White, of North Bay, Ont., who is a senior inspector for Ontario for the Provincial Board of Health, or superintendent of field work, is widely known in the forest products ranks through- out the northern part of the province. He has been engaged with the Ontario Government since December 1916. For some years pre- vious to that time he was sanitary inspector for the town of North Bay and prior to that his occupation was that of a plumber and con- tractor. Mr. White is, therefore, well qualified for the duties which he is carrying out as provincial sanitary inspector. He is on the job all the while and has won the respect and confidence of not only those upon whom he calls but of the Department as well. He is re- sponsible for all camps, mines, construction camps, sawmills and sawmill towns, and, in fact, all industries situated in the unorganiz- ed territories. He is of the opinion that there will be between 900 and 1,000 camps in Ontario this winter owing to the increased log- ging operations. Lumber Conditions in West are Better Eastern representatives of British Columbia mills report that the outlook is good and that there is a tendency to strengthen prices particularly on timbers, long joists and car materials. The coming year is expected to be a good one with a larger volume of turnover, and a more stabilized situation in general. ‘ Orders coming forward now indicate that the mills will be forced to dip into their stocks that run a little better than selects. It was impossible for the mills to take these orders without increasing the price, as high grade fir logs continue on upper price levels. The _ mills are threatened with considerable of this car material require- ment, and in almost every case the specifications call for fairly go lumber. None of the sawmills is anxious to take on new business only on a much advanced price, as prospects for 1923 are exceptionally good. To cut up the average camp run of boom to best advantage the mills must have Japanese, Australian and Atlantic seaboard business all running at the same time. The class of orders coming from these three points on the map cleans up every inch of lumber in a log to advantage and gives the sawmill operators returns for his work. Already Australia has placed heavy orders for January and February cutting; the Atlantic seaboard trade is a certainty and Ja- pan is reported to be forced out of Siberia and will be back in the market early next year for not only big squares but for more cut lum- ber. Japan has been logging on the coast of Siberia for some time under special contract with the Pri-Amur Government of Vladivos- tok, but as all contracts made by that Government have been can- celed by the Reds, Japan is looking elsewhere for lumber. Every mail brings inquiries for practically every size and grade of lumber on the list from Japan, but any firm (business offering from this market is almost invariably $1 to $3 under the prevailing prices here. This condition is expected to be righted when Japan realizes the condition of the lumber world and that prices will be firm all next spring on the present schedule. | EAGERLY If any typewriter can be said to do its work eagerly and enthusi- astically, it’s the light-running, quiet- running Royal.

Branches in all principal Canadian cities “Compare the ‘Work? uYA WAWVAVAWANANAVAN AVAIL vf] WAAWAWAV ANA NANA 60 CANADA LUMBERMAN SSSI LT PESTS | Review of Current Trade Conditions Quebec Exporters Look for Good Year The latest reports received by the Quebec lumber interests from their United Kingdom agencies, since the beginning of December, are to the effect that, although there are no outstanding features of importance to indicate a reaction in the market for the present, there are omens that the Canadian firms are likely to receive fair orders for spring shipment when the representatives proceed to the United Kingdom in February and March next. Should ocean freight rates become lower and allow the Canadian wood to compete with the Scandinavian and Russian forest products, a fair business may be expected for shipments from the port of Quebec during the 1923 season of navigation. . ; With the disappearance of the large government stock of wood and the absorption of other wood imported to England during the war for the construction of munition plants, (since utilized by the architects for other building purposes), there is bound to be a larger demand than that which has been experienced for the past four years. The imports to the United Kingdom during the year 1922 were mostly moderate and about sufficient to take care of deliveries. Compared with the end of December 1921, stocks generally are lower, and within reasonable proportions. The demand for soft- woods is looked forward to encouragingly, with values firm and ‘slightly higher, in sympathy with Canadian selling rates. It is made clear by the advice received from the agents abroad, that Canada should send its best wood for remanufacture to com- pete with the Scandinavian shippers. One of the strongest indica- tions for a reaction in the British market for the better, is the ap- preciable disappearance of the stocks from the yard centres and the regaining of confidence by the importers, who are beginning to feel that the economic position in England and Europe generally will start to recover in the year 1923. This will restore confidence all around and relieve the tension of nervous hesitation which has per- meated the British business life ever since the end of the war. The British public have confidence in the stability of the Bonar Law government, the amelioration of the political, economic situation, and look for a boom in construction next spring which will hearten other lines of business and come to the rescue of the unemployment question. It would appear that the Quebec limit and mill owners have good hopes for 1923 by the large operations in the woods this winter. They do not hesitate to say that the cut of logs will be bigger in comparison to any year within the past decade. Of course the Que- bec mill owners are not losing all their faith in the European mar- kets. They expect to do an increased’ business with the United Kingdom although placing the bulk of their dependence on the Am- erican and Canadian: market. The continuation of the boom which occurred in the United States last summer as well as the revival in Canada, created a big demand for Quebec lumber which at times taxed the capacity of the mills. In the city of Quebec construction took a new lease of life which cleaned out all the retail lumber yards of their respective stocks, and, judging from reports made by local architects and contractors, the building boom, which was commenced last spring, will be continued during the year 1923. Last year 450 new buildings were erected in the city of Que- bec to meet a shortage of 1,500 dwellings required to satisfy the demand of a growing population, thus leaving over 1,000 more to be built. In the meantime, the farmers in the rural districts of Quebec have become ambitious for larger and more up-to-date home- steads and have consulted Quebec architects and contractors re- specting construction next spring. All these are signs to encourage the lumber industry and foretell a better business for the year 1923. ee ee ae ee ee tS ee ee Se eee Les at Te ee ee Le in, FL os The Lumber Outlook in Ontario is Promising The lumber market is seasonably quiet at the present time and most members of the industry have been enjoying the holiday period and giving little thought to business other than the taking of inven- tories and finding out how stocks stand at the present time. Manu- facturers report that mill yards contain from 10 to 50% less'material this time than they did a year ago. There is said to be more stock - in the larger retail yards than there has been for some time but ~~ some of the country retailers have allowed their supplies to run short. ~~ These will not likely be replenished until toward the spring months as a number of dealers desire to get a line on what the outlook of _ building and other activities is in their respective districts. Natur- is sora eas - across the ‘border. Ps GUeeeMen Dene Mes, Sh toe 6) 2") ] y aes Sa +e beeen ally with the advent of cold weather, yard trade falls off considerably —__ but retailers are for the most part hopeful and all declare that they _ have done a considerably larger business in 1922 than they did in ~ 1921. aha Naturally the question of prices comes up rather luminously at this period of the year,-and while spruce quotations have gone kit- ing, values of other woods hold about the same as they have for the last few weeks a slightly firmer tendency. In the opinion of many there will be an increase on certain widths and lengths in which there is likely to be a shortage until the new cut comes on the market . in July next. * ee ee It is believed that a good export business will develop and al- ready many inquiries are coming to hand with respect to next season’s activities. It is too early yet, however, to make any defi- nite predictions regarding the lumber business as a whole. The out- look is bright, a feeling of trust and security prevails and 1923 is-: being heralded with a larger measure of hope and agreeable mental | attitude than has been the case for the past eighteen months. __ Logging operations are proceeding on a big scale and everything betokens that this year will show a record cut. Industrials are likely to buy hardwoods in a much larger volume and railroad items will q call forth a large quantity of decking, sheeting, lining, framing and heavy sill material. It is announced that the Canadian National Railways will place many contracts for cars in the next few months. — Other consumers will also use greater quantities of material. All concerns having business with lumbermen in the way of furnishing supplies for camp operations, sawmill equipment, driving, towing / and hauling apparatus speak enthusiastically of the number of new orders that have been received and many more that in all likelihood 4 will be closed within the next few weeks. ‘These reports, along with the unmistakable faith which the lumber manufacturers themselves are manifesting in increased woods operations, show that unless all. i* 4 signs go astray, 1923 is going to. be a good one in the matter of — turnover and shipments. rahe In hardwoods there is daily evidence of the confidence which first found its expression in the uplift and expansion of this branch q of the forest products business some four or five months ago. Since ~ then the activities in every line have increased and there has been a free movement of stock, except of late, to large consuming centres The embargo on cars at many terminals: has in- terfered seriously with the distribution problem. This, however, is gradually disappearing and after the first month it is not thought that much difficulty will be experienced. . ie Reports received from every quarter show that conditions have ~ undergone an appreciable change in the lumber arena. This upward tendency, which, as stated, began definitely in the early fall, has fol- lowed a direct and uniformly aggressive course. If the rate of ex- pansion continues throughout 1923,—as there is good reason to be- lieve,—this year will make a showing in results that will be most gratifying to hardwood exponents, who, when the slump came in the fall of 1920, suffered the heaviest loss by reason of the greater value — of He product and the undue inflation that was suffered accord- > ingly. - -1921 was a year of liquidation and losses, and it was not until — well on in 1922 that some of those, who held heavy consignments ~ were able to get rid of their high-priced stock and start again ona sound, replacement basis. he members of the industry, however, took the situation with equanimity and all wholesalers and manu- facturers now voice the opinion that the market is characterized by a strength and tone which it has not felt for many months. * te oy vy ee fit tte hal ee St. John Market Conditions are Encouraging © Just at the present the trade at St. John is limited largely to wa- ter shipments via the liners to the English markets and also to the ports of Ireland, largely Belfast and Cork.

These prices are for rotary cuts from portable mills, many of which ate now beginning to get ready to ship as snow has put in an ap- pearance in quantity enough for hauling to the stations along the tracks. The only drawback in the American market is the embargo in effect on the New York, New Haven & H.R. Road, which taps sections west of Boston. This line is always a sore spot and when lf this embargo were lifted, a good deal of stock now on hand, which is sold to these points, would be shipped. 2x 8 is certainly scarce, and as above is bringing as much as 2/9, 2/10 and, in fact, is in greater, demand. Very few cuts are unsold at this time, as far as it applies to rotaries, while the production at present is estimated at all kinds of figures. It will depend entirely on the possibilities of financing and the winter conditions which govern :production. Wages for good men remain firm at $40. Supplies are not any cheaper, neither has there been any material advance during the _ than estimated in the early fall. present two weeks. As stated previously, logging will be somewhat more expensive So far as the writer is able to esti- mate, the cut has not reached normal. The early winter has not been cold enough to produce fast working in the woods and yarding _has been rather slower than a year ago. No mills are operating at St. John and will not be until spring of 1923. Local business has been fair but during the holiday season is usually very slack and, therefore, little difference can be expected _ over ordinary years. 2 _ producing by this time, have not as yet struck a fast clip.

Practically all the larger manufacturers are preparing for an increased operation, and the output of portable mills promises to be of fair volume. Early in the season portable mills were going begging, but recently the demand has been so great, that all idle mills have been picked up, and a scarcity now exists, which will retard the winter’s cut to some extent. While lumbering operations have become quite general through- out the Province, it is not at all likely that there will be a big cut this winter, owing to the fact that it was very late when market conditions showed signs of improving, and consequently the winter closed in before much lumber had been logged ahead, as is the usual custom, and which precluded the possibility of over-production, in this Province at least. Manufacturing costs are on the up-grade, due to the rise in the price of feed, and supplies of nearly every discription, to the increased cost of stumpage, and to the fact that available timber is becoming scarcer and more remote from the railways necessitating a longer While the supply of woodsmen is satis- factory, wages have advanced 46% to 50% and good men are getting from $1.25 to $1.50 per day. Weather conditions have been favor- in most parts of the province during the past month. At present British market is commanding most attention and shows signs of more energy than at any time since the period immediately following the armistice, and leads to the belief the deal trade will gradually return to normal channels. Enquiries are more _fiumerous, and contracts have already been closed with English firms for part of the 1923 cut. One of the most gratifying features of the 3 situation is the strength of Sterling, which coupled with the improve- Me ‘ea & ment of industrial c conditions in Britain seems to assure a much sieaetet / outlook for the coming year. CANADA LUMBERMAN Pere da a large one. Although the American market is experiencing the usual sea- sonal dullness during the holiday season, the trend of prices is up- — ward, with some sharp advances in certain sizes, which are very scarce, particularly 2 x 8 spruce. The fact that the British market will absorb ‘a large portion of the 1923 output, will undoubtedly be reflected in improved conditions in the American market, particular- ly as the building programme across the line for the coming year is The railroads are reported to have mapped out very extensive programmes for the year 1923., Owing to labor difficulties in the U. S. transportation ' fciliticns: 3 are badly “congested, and rail shipments of lumber are handicapped en It is reported that this condition will continue by embargoes. throughout the winter, so that it is probable that there will not be any great quantity of ‘lumber moving until navigation opens in he spring. GA The price of lath has weakened considerably, and many of foe o hy: small mills that started up during the summer, are closing down. — Ottawa Reports Good Outlook and Firm Prices | The advent of the holiday season had a decided effect on trad- “ing in the Ottawa lumber market, where the volume of business. during the past two weeks was considerably less than during the © opening period of December. Dealers attributed the drop in “busi ness as being entirely due to the season of the year and the holiday | season. The outlook for the new year they predicted was good and in some parts of the trade it was stated ethat a further advance in ‘the price of some grades of spruce and tite lower grades of white pine might be looked for. memed absolutely firm. One of the obstacles met 'by'the trade during the closing period of the year was railway transportation and embargoes. Foreign cars were scarce and many points of entry into the United States had embargoes placed on them, owing to railroad congestion. Some shippers stated it was almost impossible to get permits to allow. shipments to go through the points at which embargoes had been placed. One firm which had several orders for immediate shipment, had. the orders tied up on account of embargoes. The woods operaltions up to the end of the year were reported to be progressing at a most satisfactory gate, and that ideal log making weather had generally prevailed during the fall months. Less trouble in connection with bush labor was reported. Several. companies said that there had been a decrease noted in the number of men who jumped from one operating site to another, and on the whole “the boys” now in the camps seemed to lbe settling down. In centres where men had suddenly jumped to another occupation it Prices during the closing part of 1922 re- | ’ was reported that the companies were now Pee no difficulty 1° filling the places of the jumpers. Conditions with the sash and door and the woodworking fac- | tories remained slow. The big woodworking factory of the Gatineau Co. Ltd., situated on Sussex street, which “has remained idle for a year, has been leased to a company of private individuals who are manufacturing high grade bank and office fittings. Between forty and fifty expert ‘workers have been sen employment by the re- opening of the plant. ; ——_——_- aa Montreal Believes Present Values Will be Maintained Considering the period of the year, trade in Montreal is very” satisfactory. Orders have declined compared with, say, a month ago, but they are still good. According to some wholesalers, No- vena was the best Font for a considerable time, and far ahea of the same period in 1921. Although the volume of ‘business show- ed a falling off, prices have maintained their recent advance. wholesaler “with desirable stock has no difficulty in disposing Of it and many inquiries are out for certain lines of spruce. A majority of the wholesalers are looking forward to good mae ness during 1923, the consensus: of opinion “being that the present level of values will hold for some time. The scarcity of dry stocks, | particularly of spruce, is the basis for this opinion regarding prices. Besides that, there is the prospect that activity in building will be continued and in that connection the their construction over the year instead of confining it to what is termed the building season. now done during the spring, summer and fall can be carried out” during the winter, thus avoiding rush jobs and, from the contrac- tors’ point, spreading the overhead charges more erent over the twelve months. : i Lath continues to be Sortee and if all the predicted production comes on the market, prices will probably go still lower.

Supplies ordered must reach him promptly, in good condition, and with- out substitution. To ensure him this service, branches have been established from coast to coast, each carrying a very large stock ready for immediate shipment.

Vancouver of Canada, Ltd., Winnipeg Gormans, Ltd. Calgary and Edmonton Williams & Wilson, Ltd., Montreal CANADA LUMBERMAN Why 255 Waterous Band Miills Have Been Purchased No. 6 Tension Device We would like par- ticularly to draw your attention to the ten- sioning device sup- ~ | plied on this mill, and +2225 NEN for thatreason attach igs the diagram shown. From it you can see why the “New Model” Mill has earned a reputation for being easy on saws and why we make our tensioning device a strong talking point in all our references to the mill. First of all, its construction is such that the device as a whole will act independently of the position of the upper wheel. You will notice that the fulcrum points throughout are knife edges and that the tension weight is not solid but is a hollow casting supported on an internal spring. By using the knife edged fulcrums we obtain extreme Sensitiveness and the spring within the tension weights increases this. When a sudden vibration or jar is thrown on the mill the extra tension is not transferred momentarily to the saw as is the case with rigidly connected weights where the weights themselves have to move for - every jar or vibration—but the shock is smoothly taken up and bal- anced by the springs. ALL POINTS OF CONTACT ARE KNIFE EDGES SMALL TENSION, NE WEIG That this tensioning device is successful in prolonging the life of saws used on the mill, this extract from a letter from one of our customers will indicate. He writes:— ‘‘We have sawed over 20,000,000 feet this past season, our logs run about forty to the thousand, and-have not broken or cracked a saw.’’ Molson’s Bank Building, Vancouver Winnipeg, Man.

Judging from available data, the average life of the ordinary steel wire nail, which has been in such common use, is only from seven to twelve years. Some wire nails will last longer, depending upon the condition of exposure, climate and similar features, but considering our climate as a whole, at the end of from seven to twelve years a large percentage of wire nails will have rusted either completely through or so extensively that the first strong wind will complete the work. The shingles that have been held in position by such nails are then free to work down, permitting rains or melting snows to leak through and damage the interior of the structure. Examination will disclose that the fibre of the shingle itself is still in perfect condition, and a leaky roof, in the majority of occasions is due entirely to the use of faulty nails, but the average home owner, placed at such inconvenience, will not stop to reason this out and the poor wooden shingle comes in for more unjust abuse. There are several kinds of nails which experience has proven will give lasting satisfaction, and the wise dealer will advise his customers of these satisfactory nails. A pure zine shingle nail meets all the demands of durability required. Its principal drawback is its high cost and a slight tendency to bend under careless driving. Galvanized wire nails theoretically are rust proof, and if the galvanized coating is properly applied, and of sufficient thickness, such a nail will last as long as the shingle it holds in place. The life of this shingle roof, properly applied with these nails then is from 40 to 50 years. Pure iron nails, or the old cut or wrought nails are ideal but difficult to secure. Copper nails also constitute a perfect shingle nail. Timms Phillips & Co., Ltd. | Vancouver Lumber Co., Ltd.

Brophy Dominion Forestry Branch Forest Products Laboratories of Canada, Montreal ; ——— Everyone, who has used an axe, knows the layered structure of wood. From the beginning of its life as a seedling until its vital _ activity ceases, a tree increases the girth of its trunk, branches and roots every year by covering its previously-formed wood with a new In the wood of Canadian trees, the successive layers are dis- _ tinctly visible on a transversely-cut log aS a series of concentric _ rings. As each ring represents the amount of wood added during a year’s growth the layers are commonly termed “annual rings.” (See Fig eo ood is composed of cells which are chiefly fibres. The fibres vary in length from about one millimetre to six or even eight milli- metres. This length may be from twenty-five to one hundred and fifty times the diameter of the fibres. Wood-fibres are hollow tube- like structures with ends which are closed and more or less blunt. Packed close together with their long axes parallel to the axis of the trunk or branch whose wood they compose, the fibres and other wood-cells, by the combination of their own properties, determine the properties of wood. If wood-cells were all of Salona dimension, wood-structure would appear homogeneous and the different annual layers would not be distinguished from each other. The seasonal changes in northern latitudes, however, exert a marked effect upon the cell growth, an effect manifested by a decrease in size of those wood- cells which are formed near the latter half of the growing season. In the Springtime growth is fast and the fibres which are form- ed at this time have a large diameter, but, as has been noted, the fibres formed later in the season (during the summer) are of small- Y ae 6 "38s ~ Gada Jumberman Toronto, January 15, 1923 Recognized Authority for Forty Years founded 1880 No. 2 Fig. 1—Cross-section of balsam fir log er diameter and have thicker walls. Vhe wood formed in summer being composed of thick-walled fibres with comparatively small cavities, is denser and harder than the wood formed at the beginn- ing of the growth period. As during the winter the tree is dormant and no additional growth takes place the successive annual layers are Sharply defined by the contrast in texture and color of hard summerwood of a previous ring which abuts the softer springwood of the swhsequent year’s growth. Rate of Growth Shown By Width of Annual Rings Only softwoods will be discussed in this paper. Softwoods form the ‘bulk of Canadian forests and include all the needle-leafed trees, usually spoken of as “evergreens” or conifers. Their structure is simpler than that of hardwoods and for this reason they are best dis- cussed separately. The annual rings of this group are often more strikingly divided into springwood and summerwood than is the case with hardwoods and, therefore, the softwoods offer_more favor- able material for studies in growth-rate. It is obvious that a tree, which continually forms wide annual rings, will increase its volume more rapidly than one which adds only narrow layers. Wood with wide rings is therefore spoken of as fast-growth material and that with narrow -rings is said to be slow growing. Fig. 2 shows samples taken from Douglas fir timbers having different rates of growth. The end section of the 1% inch board, which was taken from the centre of a tree, shows fast growth while the section of a 3 inch by 3 inch tie shows narrower annual rings denoting much slower growth. The summerwood shows clear- ly in both as dark bands defining each annual layer. The scale, which reads in inches, gives some idea of the actual proportions. It is commonly believ ed that slow-growth softwoods are str est and for certain purposes specifications require that there be not less than six rings per inch. The illustration (Fig. 2 serve to show that there is not only a greater number of b summerwood per inch in the slow growth specimen but alsc the total amount of summerwood (usually expressed as per cent. of total wood) is greater in the slowly grown than in the fast grown wood. ae ee are 1h ee Baa ee : < Yn oe een de Bi te a hes f fat hae he aa 26 CANADA LUMBERMAN’ ! fe Pie rea ES Ni ma ' . paren 4 += fy ie - * wath Fig. 3 shows photographs at a magnification of 25 diameters of asin the case of Douglas fir. The figures of maximu a thin transverse sections of Douglas fir with various growth-rates The section with wide rings shows a relatively smaller amount of summerwood than the section with rings of medium width. The wood of medium growth, as well as possessing more numerous bands Fig. 3—Transverse sections of Douglas fir (magnified) slow, medium and fast growth of summerwood, has a greater per cent. of its area occupied by sum- merwood than the fast-growth section. The section with narrowest rings however, although its summerwood bands are the most num- erous of the three, has the least total area of summer-wood. It is a general rule for those softwoods which possess heavy summerwood that fast-growth timber has only a small per cent. of summerwood, medium-growth timber the maximum amount and very slow growing timber an amount which is less than the maxi- mum achieved by medium growth. Summerwood Gives Strength to Timber The importance of summerwood in softwoods may be better ap- preciated if it is realised that the bands of thick-walled fibres add much more weight and strength to the timber than the relatively thin-walled fibres of the springwood. Fig. 4 demonstrates the effect of summerwood-content upon the weight of the timber. The specific gravity of a shipment of representative Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga EEE Pa ace O46 044 042 —— Spearific Gravity —— Rings per inch. —— Fig. 4—Relation of specific gravity to rate of growth in Douglas fir mucronata) from the Pacific Coast is plotted graphically against the growth-rate (rings per inch). The curve shows what the photographs demonstrated, namely, » that Douglas fir of medium growth-rate, with the greatest propor- tion of summerwood, is heaviest; and that extremely fast or slow- _ growth timber, having less summerwood, is consequently lighter. _ The tests whose results are embodied in these curves, were made by _ the Division of Timber Tests at the Forest Products Laboratories _ of Canada, Montreal, in the course of their work of testing Canadian _ timbers. a It has long been recognized that the strength of wood is ap- _ proximately proportional to its weight. Fig..5 shows another curve for Douglas fir with “ maximum crushing strength” substituted for _ “specific gravity.” The strength curve for Douglas fir here follows _ the same proportional variations as the specific gravity curve. Both _ curves have their maximum at the same rate of growth. Besides the curve for Douglas fir there are others for red pine nd spruce respectively. These curves are from the results of tests on eastern species, red or Norway pine, white spruce, red spruce and black spruce. The specific gravity curves for pine and spruce have en omitted, but they correspond to the curve for strength just ~ per square inch. _ AD Anatomy of Spruce and Fir In connection with these curves it will be well to consider the anatomy of sPruce in comparison with that of Dougias fir. Fig. 6 shows transverse ends of spruce and Douglas fir timbers. The gen- — eral appearance of the two woods shows clearly that the summer- — wood of spruce is much less strongly marked than is the case in — / - 2400 ;—— Pa) . 3800 "i 3 J wigs 3} 3600 . a ve £ tA | 3400 $3 on ° s ty 5| ; = =| 3200 “ PR he 5!

The fast-growth section has least summerwood, the medi- um-growth specimen has more and the slow-growth piece has most of all. The condition is in keeping with the strength-curve for spruce which increases somewhat with decreasing growth-rate as far as the curve has been plotted. x an The general rule can be stated that softwoods with broad bands of summerwood, whose transition from springwood is abrupt, have an optimum growth-rate for the production of strong timber which is ~ faster than the optimum rate for softwoods whose summerwood is inconspicuous. The point on the curve for spruce at which the maximum crushing strength would decline, has not been reached. ~ Red pine however, a species whose summerwood content is inter-_ mediate between spruce and Douglas fir, has its greatest maximum Fig. 6—End grain of spruce (upper) and Douglas fir (lower) ee crushing strength at a rate of growth intermediate between the opti- fe mum for Douglas fir and the optimum rate for spruce just as would, 2 be expected in accordance with the general rule. 3 r E Summary of Interesting Investigation 3 The results of investigating the structure and mechanical pro- perties of wood at the Forest Products Laboratories of Weg be dicate that the growth-rate has a very great effect on the physical . properties of timber. It is probable that differences in weight of — wood from various parts of the tree are due chiefly to differences in growth-rate. From the discussion of rate of growth in softwoods we may draw the following conclusions :— te (1) The strength of timber is approximately proportional to its density. LS (2) The density of timber (and therefore its strength) depends, to a great extent, upon the rate of growth of the tree which produces it. ~ eee (3) There is an optimum growth-rate for the production of the ibest quality. \ (Continued on page 52) 5 a See OO a ee “eons : Montreal is Ready for meeting of the Canadian Lumbermen’s Association which will ‘be held at the Mount Royal Hotel, Montreal, on Wednesday and Thurs- day, January 24th and 25th. Secretary Hawkins, of Ottawa, says hat the delegates are coming from far and near. There will be an unusually large representation from across the border. The man- agement of the hotel has made every preparation for the comfort and convenience of the visiting lumbermen and their wives and the _ forthcoming assembly will stand out as the most signally successful and beneficial in the history of the organization. : Several new features are to be embodied. One is that more _ time will be given up to a discussion of prospects during the com- ing year, production, export situation, manufacturing costs, inspec- tion, transportation, etc. P The ladies will be entertained to a theatre party and a toboggan- _ ing party, as well as a drive around the mountain. The banquet of - course, will take’ place on the second day of the convention, Thurs- day, January, 25th. The speakers on that occasion will ‘be the Hon. Walter Mitchell, K.C., M.P., former Provincial Treasurer of Quebec, -and Mr. Gordon Laing, Dean of the Faculty of Arts, McGill Uni- versity. _ The Montreal wholesalers are also seeing that nothing is left in the matter of entertaining the visiting lumbermen and, the well- __ known hospitality of the Canadian metropolis will be maintained. - Competent committees are at work completing all arrangements for the convention and details are being rapidly rounded into shape. _ __ E. H.. Lemay is chairman of the General Committee; J. S. Bock of the Finance Committee; J. G. Shearer of the Entertainment Com- mittee; G. C. Goodfellow of the Dance Committee; iC. Villiers of the _ Luncheon Committee. The members of the Ladies Committee are,— _ Mesdames J. B. White, D. H. McLennan, Arthur H. Campbell, A. See. Grier, |. G. Shearer and ’C. Villiers. _ The several retiring directors this year are,—G. E. Spragge, Toronto. W. J. Bell, Sudbury, Duncan McLaren, Toronto, Sir Wm. ) Price, Quebec, Arthur H. Campbell, Montreal, W: B. Snowball, > Chatham, N. B., and Rufus E. Dickie, Stewiacke, N.S. All of these are eligible for re-election and it is believed that the majority of them _ will be again chosen to serve another three years on the Board. .. Regarding the next place of meeting, it is said that it will prob- ably be in Quebec City or, possibly, St. John. ~, & _ Everything points to the fact that the 1923 convention of the _ Canadian Lumibermen’s Association will ‘be a pleasant, profitable and entertaining occasion, and all lumbermen, who possibly can, _ should make a point to be in attendance and bring along their wives and daughters. There will be ample time for sightseeing, ample time for discussion, ample time for visits with friends and ample time to learn how the other fellow is getting along and for renew- ing associations and meeting other members of the trade from Coast - to Coast. The time and place are at this great national gathering of representative lumbermen in Montreal on January 24 and 25. There you will greet and meet the men who are doing so much in a manu- eturing and wholesale way to place Canada’s pioneer industry on 1e map. ‘ Some Topics and The Speakers Among the new features incorporated this year will be, as already ‘manufacture, the manner in which stocks are cut, do they meet oe cments of purchasers? etc. All these phases will ‘be dealt y different groups in open convention. A. C. Manbert, of the Canadian General Lumber Co., Toronto, lead in a discussion on white pine, in which it is expected that Letherby, of Chew Bros., Midland, and others will take part. _ The spruce market and outlook will be presented in interesting ks by Angus McLean, of the Bathurst Company, Bathurst, Sir . Price, of Price Bros. & Co., Quebec and Archibald Fraser, of the Fraser Companies, Limited, Edmundston, N. B. e , past president of the C.L.A., and W. E.

E. Clark, of Toronto president of the Canadian Lumbermen’s Association, and J. J. Line- han, of Mowbray-Robinson & Co., Cincinnati, Ohio. Another feature of the convention will be the discussion of in- surance in all its relations on lumber products. This will be led by G. D. Finlayson, of Ottawa, superintendent of Insurance for Canada, and taken part in by W. E. Bigwood, of Toronto, past president of the C.L.A., and W. B. Snowball, of J. B. Snowball Co., Chatham, N.B. Another departure will be the showing of several lantern slides illustrating the work, scope and progress of aircraft in the matter wa wa = = pee pe prrypl in r any it 6 ii f J i = = is =a aa \ena =.4!|\ a1 |= Yaa aa \e eed \ a . hs / ifs of fire protection service and forest surveys. The showing of the pictures will be under the direction of J. A. Wilson, of Ottawa, sec- retary of the Dominion Air Board, which is seeking closer relation with the various Provincial Governments and the lumbermen of the province in the use of aircraft, the federal authorities supplying the men and the machines for the work. It is hoped that the apprecia- tion and knowledge of what is being done in this direction -will ‘be considerably increased as a result of the pictures shown, as aviation possesses great possibilities of expansion in the lumber arena. By the time this article is in print, the arrangements by the Montreal committees for entertaining the delegates to the conven- tion of the Canadian Lumbermen’s Association will be practically complete. This has involved a lot of work by Messrs. J. B. White and G. W. Grier, and the committee with A. Fenton as local secret- ary. There has been a ready response to the call for the necessary ways and means, and Mr J. S. Bock, the chairman of the Finance Committee states that there will be sufficient to carry out the pro- grammes of the various Committees. A meeting of the committees was held on January 3, at the Mount Royal Hotel, presided over by Mr. J. B. White. Messrs. J. S. Bock, G. Goodfellow, J. Shearer, and C. Villiers, reported on the activities of the Finance, Entertainment, Luncheon, and Dance Com- mittees. Messrs. G. M. Strong and Albert J. Smith have been added to the Entertainment Committee. a6 CANADA LUMBERMAWN sai UF 0 Ss oe the What Canadian Lumbermen will Say and) Do at the Montreal Gathering | Tuesday January 23rd Meeting of Directors at Mount Royal Hotel. - Wednesday January 24th i0 A.M.

B., will lead in the discussion. Address by J. A. Wilson, of Ottawa sec- retary of the Air Board, with moving pic- tures showing the value of the Air Service in forestry work. The big idea of the gathering is that instead of hav- ing a lot of papers by various experts, time has been pro- vided for full and thorough discussion of real live sub- jects by members of the Association.on the floor of the convention hall. It devolves upon every individual, therefore, to come prepared to take part in the discus- sion of one or more subjects. This convention is to be one for the members. The newly appointed directors will be announced at the afternoon session on Thurs- 2.30 P.M. 10 A.M. It was decided to print 600 tickets for the supper dance; each subscriber to the funds will be entitled to tickets for three couples, including the double ticket for himself. iF The chairman emphasized the point that each subscriber was entitled to tickets for the social events of the convention, and could apply for tickets for the banquet, which, however, have to be separ- ately paid for. A subscription to the fund did not confer the right to attend the meetings of the association; the attendance was limited to members of the Association. It was agreed that the luncheons for the ladies and for the dele- gates should both be held on January 24. The Entertainment Com- mittee will provide entertainments for those events. Mr. E. H. Lemay was asked to invite the Hon. H. Mercier, Pro- vincial Minister of Lands and Forests, to speak at thie delegates’ luncheon, and to request the Mayor of Montreal to receive the ‘dele: gates on the morning of the 24th. Montreal Lumber Retailers are Organizing The Montreal Retail Lumber Association is making headway. The details of organization are not yet quite complete, but they are advanced sufficiently to show that a strong body is assured. Already a considerable amount of work has been done. Three meetings have been held, the attendance showing increases at each meeting. A meeting was held on December 27 at Freeman’s Hotel. at which most of the principal retail firms were represented, Mr. J. P. Dupuis presided, and remarked that the large attendance was an indication of the necessity and growing interest in the association. One of their objects was to promote a better understanding between the retailers—to get better acquainted. It was also proposed to establish a credit bureau, in order to protect themselves in the mat- ter of bad debts. A ee ee Ae ae a ay : vor f ie SAAS ee a Je ei Rs : 5, A day January 25th.

Dupuis, Halliday, Thomson, Bonneau, Bordeau and Lebel were appointed a committee to report on the question of the secretaryship of the Association. The greater part of the evening was devoted to a conference between Messrs. Frank Kent and G. K. Tyler, of the Seaman, Kent Company, Limited, and the members relative to the sales policy of the Company which has recently been modified. Messrs. Kent and Tyler explained the position of the Company and what was proposed to be done. Mr. Dupuis, on behalf of the Association, made certain proposals as to the company’s policy. These were dis- cussed at considerable length, and it was mutually agreed that the company should consider these suggestions and give an answer at the next meeting. The discussion was of the most cordial cha- racter. Ng Mr. Kent mentioned that additions were being made to the com- — pany’s factory at St. Agathe and that a new power plant had been’ installed, Mr. Tyler, he addéd, had just been appointed manager of the Montreal branch. A Mr. Dupuis stated that it was proposed to hold meetings every fortnight, and to discuss questions of live interest at each meeting. The subject at the next session would be the relations between the — wholesalers and retailers, particularly in connéction with sales to — certain buyers. It was also proposed to ask a representative of the — Quebec Retailers’ Association to address the meeting. — ia At the invitation of the Chairman, Mr. F. H. Devenish, secre- — tary of the Montreal Wholesale Lumber. Dealers’ Association, made — a brief speech. He referred to the value of a trade association in promoting a spirit of goodwill and co-operation and the benefits a. which resulted from the wholesalers’ and retailers’ associations get- fy ting together in order to discuss amicably any questions of apuctal : interest. The Chairman desired Mr. Devenish to convey to his Mecano % tion the best wishes of the retailers for the success of the ME a salers’ Association. “2 S eee Pe ey 4 Ef), a . 2 ren.

Reid Sends Encouraging Message Everything has been practically completed for the fifth great annual gathering of the retailers of Ontario which will be held at the Prince Edward Hotel, Windsor, on Wednesday, Thursday and Fri- day, January 24th, 25th and 26th. The assembly this year will be the most representative in the history of the Association and it is expected there will be a gratifying attendance from all parts of the _ province. Last year the meeting was held in the Chateau Laurier, Ottawa, E. M. Barrett being the president of the Association, and _ there was a particularly large representation from Western Ontario. _ This year it is expected the men from the East will return the com- _ pliment and travel in battalions to Windsor where “Jim.” Scofield, _ the present head of the O.R.L.D.A., says that everything will be in excellent shape for the entertainment and comfort of the retail _ yardmen and their wives. _ _ There are many innovations this year that have not been charac- teristic of other conclaves. One is that the session will last for three -days,—Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, January, 24th, 25th and 26th, which will give more time for discussion and also for pleasure. P There will be ample opportunity for visiting the neighboring city _ of Detroit and taking in the shops, theatres and other attractions of that busy, teeming centre. — Special entertainment will be provided for the ladies who will f also be present at the annual banquet and dinner-dance in the even- ing of Thursday January 25th. There will be no long set speeches on this occasion but Douglas Malloch, of Chicago, the lumberman poet, and Jack Miner, of Kingsville, Ont., the well-known birdman, will enliven the proceedings with their wit and wisdom. 5 So Oe Some Who Will Lead Discussions ' Another outstanding feature is that there will not be any set E ‘papers of a fixed, formal stereotyped character, but discussions which will be taken part in by leading retailers in various towns of the province. It is expected there will be a number of visitors from _ willbe F. B. VanDusen, of Brockville, who will talk on “trade ethics _ among retailers,’ C. L. Bowes, of Chicago who will speak on “the : "building plan service of the Association, 0S. Herath, of Ojibway, will _ lead the talk on “financing dwelling construction,” and M. R. Bogart, of the S. Hadley Lumber Co., Chatham, will have something inter- -_ esting to say on “stopping big leaks in the retail lumber business.” ___ Robert Bennie, of the Ludlam-Ainslie Lumber 'Co., Leamington, will give his views on the all-important question of “apprentices . in planing mills.” K. J. Shirton, of Dunnville, will speak on a “shippers’ rating bureau,” and J. é. Scofield, of Windsor, president = of the O.R.L.D.A. on an “Association trade mane M tes _ W. M. Tupling, of Orillia, will lead off in the consideration of “standard sizes and grades for lumber, ” and A. R. Sanders, of Sanders _ & Bell, St. Thomas, will be responsible for a talk on the “relations ‘between wholesaler, retailer and contractor.” George H. Arnott, of the Windsor Lumber Co., Windsor, will tell something about “acci- dent prevention in plants,” and Clarence DeFields, who is the fire nief of Windsor, and has devoted special attention to organizing -fighting units in industrial establishments, will give his ideas how this can be effectively done in planing mills and other wood- ‘ing plants. Then besides the regular reports from the officers and com- tees, such as Membership Arbitration, Legislation and Trans- tion, Insurance and Compensation, there will be the election ficers, presentation of resolutions, and mid-summer outing for -and many other items of interest which will make an agenda it will be profitable, pleasant and not unduly prolonged.

Mr. Reid Sends Stirring Message The following cheerful and stimulating message from John B. Reid, of Toronto, “Honorary President of the Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association, to the members from all over the province who - | will assemble in annual convention at the Prince Edward Hotel, Windsor, on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, January 24, 25 and 26, will be read with timely interest. Mr. Reid is spending several months at his winter home in St. Petersburg, Florida. Motto For 1923 “Workers Don’t Kick, Kickers Don’t Work” To the officers and members of the Ontario Retail Lum- ber Dealers’ Association,—I wish to extend to you a happy and prosperous New Year, and also an urgent call to your convention at Windsor on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday . January 24, 25 and 26. You will agree with me that your officers and commit- tees have done wonderful work in the last year and deserve all the backing and upholding of their hands that you can give them—You are all aware that the good to be done by our Association can only be accomplished by the whole- hearted co-operation of each and every member. You have the best of officers and they have all worked hard for all our welfare. ’ Don’t let a trifle keep you from getting to Windsor on the day appointed— and when there—wake up and have something to say and do something to keep the flag flying high for the O.R.D.L.A. Every member can do something —so don’t be afraid to speak up. There are lots of good things in store for us. Don’t for- get for one moment that our business is one of the most dignified and useful and that the part we play in the uplift and welfare of the community in which we live and do busi- ness, is second to none. In building up the nation as a whole—it is my own ex- perience of some forty odd years, that I have found no body of men, more honorable, or more intelligent than those among the retail lumbermen. I am glad to know that in the last few years the rest of our members have come to the same conclusion. Now my position as Honorary President among your officers does not permit of me taking the active interest that I had been able to do heretofore, but at that, away down here in Florida, at land’s end, with all the good time I am having, I don’t forget what we have worked up to and the necessity of still working hard, to keep the high fosition we have reached in the “lumber world. We have had the honor of starting things in the right direction. Let us all work hard to keep them there and always go one better.

There is always a welcome for good fellows down here and I know they are the only kind in our Association. a In business dealing, when you have been unfairly treat- ed, overcharged, lied to, or met with discourtesy, don’t turn your cheek to be slapped, turn your back and depart. This is a back smile that is justified and has a telling effect. Good business men find it ever profitable to sell honest goods, wrapped up in courtesy and bound with friendship. : The price-cutter purchases a line of lumber inferior in qual- ity and low in price, which he attempts to palm off on the | customer as first quality stock. He usually charges as much © for his junk as a dependable merchant does for the real stuff. If his customer objects to the quality or price, ihe treats him with discourtesy, falsehood and arrogance. The best thing to do is to pass him up. The party, who aims to take a dishonest advantage ofa customer, is a business bully. His victims are generally ofa — class, who trust to his knowledge of the stock and they ac- cept his word. To cheat people, who trust you, is the mark of a degenerate mind. The man, who conducts his ‘business on an honorable basis, respects the confidence placed in him by his customers, counts every customer as a friend and treats them in such a manner that they return to his yard. This is burning incense on the shrine of success. — / As a last request, I would ask all our members to get — to the convention at Windsor on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, January 24, 25 and 26, work hard for the welfare of the O.R.L.D.A. and have a jolly good time.

A firm, that have done much to develop the eee in these parts are The Pas Lumber Co., Limited, who are operating at the present time on a large scale. Visitors to the plant express surprise at the magnitude of the undertakings witnessed on me. every Side. ; One of the best paying portions of the Canadian National rail- way system is that running between the Hudson Bay Junction and The Pas, due principally to the activities of The Pas Lumber Co., q Limited, who are constantly shipping carloads of lumber to the more civilized world; in fact it is often found necessary to charter * special trains to take out lumber. The company have a shipping fs etal of from twelve to fifteen cars per day, and have earned . quite a reputation for themselves on account of their prompt filling of orders. . > The principals of the concern are the same as are interested * in the Prince Albert Lumber Co., Prince Albert, Sask.; and the Ladder Lake Lumber Co., Big River, Sask. ; viz.:— Secretary and Manager, ean oe Mattes, Winnipeg, Man.; Presi- ~ dent, D.

Harris, is located at 601 - Electric Railway Chambers, Winnipeg, Man. oe tke Pas Lumber Company, Ltd., took over the plant of the Finger Lumber Company in 1919, and immediately commenced to rebuild, enlarge, and modernize, as a consequence possesses one of the most up-to-date plants in Canada. The employees of the com- any are extremely well housed and cared for. A large boarding ; house, situated near the mill, will accommodate 120 men, and each room ‘contains two single beds. Recreation halls are provided and ihe building is equipped with steam heat, electric light, shower S hathe and other modern conveniences. In addition to the’ boarding house for single men, the company have a large number of houses for married employees. Men employed in bush work are also ex- _ tremely well looked after, and every camp is equipped with steel 4) nks, and mattresses. The mill is situated on the banks of the - Saskatchewan River, on the outskirts of the town, while the com- -pany’s timber limits are located North and West of the The Pas, on the Carrot and Saskatchewan Rivers. kone Large Capacity of the Mill _ The mill has a capacity of 50,000,000 feet of lumber, and 15,- 00,000 pieces of lath per year. It is operated about seven months each year, Sawing commencing the first part of April, and con- ling until the beginning of November, when the mill is shut for the winter, but shipping and planing continues through- Besyeat. > uring the summer ene about five hundred men are em- Sees provinces, the influx to the woods commencing almost immediately — harvesting operations are completed. Some skilled lumbermen, however, work at the mills during the summer months and assist in shipping and also logging operations in the winter. During the winter The Pas Lumber Company, Ltd., use 500 horses in the woods, most of these being hired from big railway contractors, farmers, etc: The saw mill equipment consists of two single cutting band saws, and a large gang. The planing mill is equipped with modern fast feed planing machines, and the quality of the work turned out «8 exceptional. The company prides itself on the planing machine work and the uniform grading of its lumber. The company has several large steamboats for towing logs down the Saskatchewan and Carrot rivers to the mills, among these are S.S. David N. Win- ton, and the S.S. Alice Mattes, besides several gasoline launches, and smaller craft. The company’s towing boat makes two and three trips a day from the rafting works to the mill during the summer season, taking a raft of some 3,000 logs, equivalent to 150,000 to 175 000 log: feet on each trip, a distance ae about three miles. Provisioning of the Camp To feed from twelve to fifteen hundred men in outlying camps during a long northern winter is no easy matter, and The Pas Lum- ber Company’s boats are kept busy during the summer, shipping supplies from the town, to the general distributing warehouses on the Saskatchewan and Carrot rivers. Carload upon carload of beef, pork, flour, potatoes, and other commodities find their way into The Pas, and are sent out to the warehouses. The company maintain a store where clothing, suitable for the bush is sold to the lumber- jacks at a cheap rate, and it is not the fault of the organization if a _man goes into the bush not properly clothed for the strenuous Bin Logging scene in The Pas Sener Co., operations in Northern Manitoba = % wt Ba 8 - a F Et ee wD CANADA LUMBERMAN_ Ag ee ae ee u - pe 42 by the insect plagues, fungus and dead-wood, also brought out : ; lengthy discussion, and it was resolved that a most thorough study should be made to combat this source of devastation which is caus- northern winter.

The devastation done to the forest resources , ous parts of Northern Manitoba and Saskatchewan, and while in the past fires have caused considerable destruction, every year sees more efficient methods for fire control. A force of forest rangers is kept at work patrolling the country during the summer months, and keep- ing a watchful eye on inexperienced travellers who, through care- lessness, might start a fire that would run into millions of dollars worth of damage. These rangers continue their patrol work until the freeze up. During the past summer the fire ranging force in Northern Manitoba was augmented by large hydro planes, which made re- gular trips through the outlying districts. These planes were fitted with fire fighting apparatus, an auxiliary engine, hose, etc., and, in the event of a fire being reported, ten men could be carried to the scene of the blaze in one trip. Since the authorities seriously took in hand the matter of fire control, Northern Manitoba has been singularly free from fires of any size, and it is hoped that this work will be continued. Timber is already becoming a scarce commodity in the United States, and it will not be long before the whole con- tinent will have to look to Northern Manitoba to supply a great part of lumber and pulpwood. Quebec Forestry Engineers on Timber Depletion The Quebec Society of Engineers is becoming an important adjunct to the Department of Lands and Forests, to guide and keep posted the Quebec Government on its administration of the forest resources of the province. The Society of Quebec Engineers was organized over two years ago by the students in forestry and en- gineers, encouraged and aided by the Government. After gradua- tion from the Forestry School of Engineers at Laval University, they are sent to Europe at the Quebec Government’s expense to study and learn methods of forestry as it is practised in France and Scandinavian countries. The Quebec Society of Forestry Engineers now embraces a membership of ninety, and towards the latter part of last December held their second annual convention in Quebec. ‘The meeting was held in camera because there were many questions of importance to discuss, besides the adoption of a constitution, by-laws, etc., and reports from engineering inspection of forest areas, both by air and. land surveys, which had to be reported to the Department of Lands and Forests before being made public. ‘The convention lasted two days and was attended by over two-thirds of the membership, in- cluding engineers from private lumber firms and limit holders who came from all parts of the province, The most important question discussed was the continued dim- inishment of the forest resources and the best means of combating the annual destruction of forests in the province of Quebec. ‘After several propositions had been submitted which will be further studied, as well as being sent to the Forestry Branch of the Depart- ment of Lands and Forests for, study, the following resolution was adopted by the convention for publication :— “It is resolved that the Society of Forestry Engineers, warn the citizens of the province of Quebec, that our forest resources are continually diminishing and that they are exposed to extinction through the ravages of fire, insects, fungus and dead-wood. _ “It is the opinion of the Quebec Forestry Engineers’ Society that it would be opportune to assure the conserva- tion of our forests by the immediate creation of a perman- ent forestry reserve with the object of safeguarding in perpettuty our forests and the industries depending upon them.” , a The question of conservation was also thoroughly gone into and a resolution was adopted, to be sent to the Goverment for study and organization action. The frequency, of fires during the summer season which de- Stroyed vast and valuable areas was discussed. Mr. Piche related what had been done by the Lands and Forests Department during the past two years, the precautions and the result. There were numerous fires and much destruction due to careless hunters and The information of Mr. Piche take drastic action / member of Quebec Government Forestry Service; Councillors:— — G.

We seem to recognize antagonists only when they have been passed upon by a Cabinet Council. Then commences the flood of telegrams: “Every man and every last dollar;” “Count on the whole battalion ;” and much more of a like and worthy sort. Meanwhile, a hundred Kemal Pashas work vast mis- chief to the economic life of this Dominion. They wear no uniforms, they trouble no Foreign Office. They raise no ‘alien flags. The pillage they do pays perpetual dividends of — misery. But because these evil forces are not rigged out in the uniforms of foreign tyrants, we fill up our days with turning furrows and laying bricks and thank the Lord that Canada has nothing to worry over. L ray Well, Canada as regards her forest problems can free her mind from worry only by shutting off her intelligence. The heaviest drag on the progress of Canada has not been a National Debt but a neglect of the natural resources. The — needless sacrifice of white pine by fire in Ontario and Que- bec alone would unquestionably have matched the present. provincial debts. The squandering of timber through un- obstructed fires in the prairie provinces has doubtless been equal to the bond issues of the three administrations. Month after month the reckoning of forest fire losses would astound and stir to action any board of directors of a private com- pany, but leaves*untouched that peculiar company of citizens in charge of forest. assets valued at several billions of dol- lars.. Why is it so? % The Canadian citizen is no dullard. He is accustomed to act promptly on what is put up to him as a “public issue.” But we are not a nation of political or economic students. We wait for the-newspapers to tell us what the “issues” are. Sometimes we pick up a hint from our politicians. That is why the American continent is so readily swayed by pro- paganda. An issue not backed by organized propaganda is elbowed out of the main road by issues that are. This may explain why the great basic policies—the sane conserving and developing of the great natural resources, for example— have had to give away in legislative halls to less important but more emotional issues of social reform, road construction and the import tax on mouse traps. Inaction by our govern- ments on the really vital matters is a precise barometer of public opinion. Until public opinion on forest preservation — takes on the glow of an evangelistic cause, we will continue to take our seats about the arena of blazing forests with the same unconcern that we apply to 34 cents worth of Rodolph Valentino. f j ' The Canadian citizen owns eighty-five per cent. of the — forest area. And he does not know it. The Canadian citi- zen being the forest owner is the responsible forest con- | servator. He does not know it. The Canadian citizen is a | personal trustee for his grandchild’s forest inheritance. He does not know it. The Canadian citizen as forest owner, helds in his hands the responsibility for the greatest indus- | trial expansion that lies in the path of this nation. But he ~ is unaware of it. ; The moment the simple convincing facts of his part- nership in the profits and penalties of forest management | are put in possession of the Canadian citizen, the jubilee of | forestry will be at hand.—Robson Black. 8 —_ - 1 = CANADA LUMBERMAN 43 Stratford District Retailers Hold Annual New Officers Elected for Coming Season and Encouraging Trade Reports Receiv- ed—Trend of Lumber Prices Upward—Credit Bureau Will be Formed With an attendance represent- ing over two-thirds of the total membership, the Stratford Dis- trict retailers of the O.R.L-D.A. gathered together on January 8th at the Mansion House, in the Classic City, and spent several profitable hours discussing many timely subjects of direct in- terest to the retail lumber dealer. J. J. Cluff, of Seaforth, pre- sided and opened the meeting with a short address to the re- tailers pointing out the many benefits to be derived from the interchange of views stich as a gathering of this kind offered. The many troubles that loomed up so large in a man’s business and which, he thought, were only troubles of his own, were found to be the identical prob- lems that the other man sitting next to him at the convention table was confronted with. These exchanges of grievances, said the chairman, were helpful and often profitable. “When we start back to work we go at it a good deal more determinedly because we know we are not alone in our endeavors,” he added. The chairman concluded his address by saying that everyone could learn something more about the product they were selling every day, and, in these times of change and progress, association work was needed more and more for the retailers to make a con- certed effort towards giving better service to the public and so es- tablishing the building supply business as a part of the community. Mr. Cluff regretted to announce that J. C. Scofield, president of the O.R.L.D.A., who was to have been present to address the members, was unavoidably detained on account of sickness in his family. He then called upon H. Boultbee, secretary of the @©.RUL.D: A., to address the meeting. Lumber Retailers Must Broaden Out Mr. Boultbee responded with a comprehensive talk on a number of progressive subjects, among which was the new plan service the Association had undertaken to supply the retailers of Ontario. He pointed out how the retail lumber business to-day was compelled, in E. K. Kalbfleisch, Stratford, Ont. Newly-elected chairman view of the many sources of competition, to supply more than the mere boards and scantling; the very fact that the directors of their Association had deemed it advisable to inaugurate the service in Ontario, it was up to the dealers to take advantage of it. Over fifty members, he stated, had already ordered the service, including sev- eral members present. Mr. Boultbee then took up the question of credit bureaus, and explained how successfully they were operated by other merchant Associations. He recited in a convincing manner a few examples of how a list of delinquent debtors would save many dollars for the retail lumber merchant. In referring to the fourth annual convention of the O.R.L.D.A. to be held at the Prince Edward Hotel, Windsor, Ont., on January 24th, 25th and 26th, the secretary drew the attention of the members to be sure and ask for a standard convention certificate when buying their one way ticket to Windsor. A reduced rate, of a fare and a half, is given by the railroads to convention bodies who can guarantee at least one hundred and fifty purchasers of tickets. Cost of Building is Going Up From their experiences at conventions across the line, particular- ly the National Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association convention held at Cleveland, the secretary stated that Mr. Scofield and he had learned much about making the forthcoming gathering at Windsor a particularly live one. They had a programme completed which would eliminate monotonous speeches, and open discussions and short talks by those who wish to give their views would be substituted. Hight or ten interesting subjects had been selected which will be discussed for a certainty, with live retailers leading the discussions. The first day will be devoted to renewing acquaintances and dis- posing of the business reports. The second day will be given to open discussion of various subjects and the third to the draughting of resolutions coming up. Mr. Boultbee urged the members to bring their lady friends as a programme had been prepared for the enter- tainment of their wives, daughters and sweethearts. Following ‘Mr. Boultbee’s talk, which was appreciated, a discus- sion on the demand of Jumber in 1923 was led by J. J. Cluff, of Sea- forth. Everybody present took part and it was the general opinion that the cost of all kinds of building in 1923 was bound to be higher in price, but it was also thought that the increased cost of materials would not retard construction, as Canada had reached a period when building and repair work could not be postponed without visible actual loss. A number of retailers reported a decided shortage in ee and many declared that it was bound to go up in price as a result. Another subject which drew forth much comment was the case Geo. S. Zimmerman, Tavistock, Newly-elected Secy-Treasurer D. C. Baird, St. Mary’s, Newly-elected Vice-Chairman E. Fleischauer, Stratford, Retiring Secy.-Treasurer 44 CANADA LUMBERMAN 1 of the wooden shingle vs. ready roofing. George S. Zimmerman, of Tavistock, said that the new stained shingle would prove a boon to the sale of the wooden shingle, adding variety and helping to beautify the home. The majority of members present claimed that the wooden shingle could not be beaten and any fault that was found with them was due in the main to the nails used. The subject of nailing was then discussed and disclosed many faults of different kinds of nails. Many agreed, however, that the galvanized iron nail recommended by the B.C. lumber commissioner, 51 Yonge St., To- ronto, was the best one for use on the red cedar shingle. District Forms Local Credit Bureau The question of forming a local credit bureau was emphasized by Mr. Cluff, the chairman. He admitted that the subject had been before the members in 1922 and that they had not done anything toward compiling the necessary lists. Robert Oliver, of Listowel, Ont., asked what kind of delinquent debtors were considered dangerous? George S. Zimmerman, of. Tavistick, replied, that in his opinion, no matter how good judgment a man thought he possessed of human nature, he was bound to be taken in at intervals, for sometimes large amounts, by men who, after running up an account in one town, would go to another centre and buy building material on credit from another merchant. Of course, both would lose, whereas with the advantages of a credit bureau, the experience of one should help the other, and vice versa. Mr. Cluff was much in favor of a local bureau of this kind and a vote was taken which showed that the rest of the members also endorsed such a plan. Accordingly each member will send a list of his “bad ones” to his local secretary, who will in turn put them in shape and send them on to Secretary Boultbee for distribution to the members of the branch. The members are expected to compile their lists within a month’s time. Association Plan Service Explained G. T. Meinzer, service manager in charge of the sales of the O.R.L.D.A. plan service, was asked by the chairman to explain the service to the members. He first distributed among the retailers illustrations of houses, barns and other buildings in attractive folder form. He also had books of illustrated homes and other buildings The Principal Elements in Good Houses and Character of Their Construction =<, Most people buy houses in the manner of the man who ordered a blue automobile. They purchase almost wholly on outward ap- pearances, so far as the physical condition of the property is con- cerned. Paint, varnish and newness sell many houses. Very few purchasers concern themselves with the invisible construction of a house or with external evidences of the nature of the internal work. Yet what is not seen largely determines the future value of the property, the cost of upkeep and the satisfaction of the owner. The passing years inevitably reveal the true nature of the con- struction. Yet it is not difficult for a house-buyer to find out whether the house is of proper and suitable materials and correct methods of construction, says the technical department of the National Lumber Manufacturers’ Association in answer to inquiries. The best way, of course, is to have the house inspected by some competent per- son, but there are certain fundamentals which anyone may apply for himself with the probability of being guided to a correct deter- mination of the intrinsic value of a house. Noboby wants to buy a house that will soon develop cracked plaster, sagging doors, jam- ming windows, floors that spring and creak, unsightly open joints in woodwork and spaces between casings, baseboard and floors; leaky roofs, unsightly sagging porches, and leaky or spilling gutters, swayback gables, etc. To insure against these annoying developments the foundation first should be carefully examined, for any settling or cracking there _ is certain to be reflected in the superstructure no matter how good. _ The footing of the foundation should be wider than the foundation itself and should be placed below the frost line. If the foundation is not a single unit, such as poured concrete, it should be carefully inspected to insure that it is of good materials well put together. About half the weight of a building is carried on the posts, which _ should rest on piers. The posts support a girder on which the inner ~ as * é. 7? a ~T which were indexed, and by referring to a large book composing th estimating, the cost of any building was quickly determined. Blue- prints are supplied at $2.50 a drawing. The cost of the illustrated — books and material cost book is $45.00 a year. There are, of course, — the necessary colored billboards, metal signs, illustrated folders and letterheads with bright illustrations of homes arranged at the top and sides, all of which are essential in attracting the attention of a~ prospective builder to do business with a lumber merchant. The — cost of the complete service would run about $175.00 to $200.00 a” year according to the advertising requirements, etc. a Frank L. Reed, of the Union Lumber Co., Toronto, who was present in Stratford on a business trip, was invited by the chairman to say a few words. Mr. Reed thought there was no doubt that the — price of better-grade softwoods would advance in the near future, and added that he knew of one manufacturer at least, who was selling his cut for 20% higher than last year, — : Seu -— i= New Officers for Coming Year : ie The election of officers for 1923 was held. Mr. Cluff was asked to take the chair again in 1923, but declined, saying that while — he did not mind the work attached to the job, he thought it was only — ae that some other member should take a hand in directing the q affairs. ee a E.

Fleischauer, of Stratford, who was secretary in the past year, _ was nominated for the office again, but declined owing to press of business. George S.

Lynn, of the “Canada Lumberman.” j ee ends of floor joists rest, as well as the partitions which carry the upper floors of the house. The piers should be higher than the basement floor in order to prevent rot if the basement should be damp. Often the concrete of the floor is run up around the bases of the posts thus sealing up the end and creating a favorable condi- tion for dry-rot. In either case the post will eventually settle with — unpleasant results. The piers should be carefully made, flat on the © bottom and of adequate bearing surface on the soil underneath. — Most houses are safe enough so far as the floor supports are — concerned, but the floor should be rigid and stiff to prevent cracking plaster, sagging or spring and creaking floors. Joists are commonly strong enough for this purpose, so the stiffness is the main factor — to be considered. The determination of this will probably require — some expert advice, though walking or stamping on the floor will — often reveal a weakness. The joists should have uniform bearings — where they enter masonry walls, otherwise uneven settling will — follow with humpy floors and loosened nails. Where joists are not of a single timber the two pieces making them up should be well and ~ strongly spiked together. _ Joists should be anchored to masonry walls about every fourth or fifth joist with T-shaped metal straps nailed to the side of the — joist near the bottom, with the top of the T built into the wall. This ties the building together. Placing the metal strap near the bottom — of the joist is a precaution in case of fire, so that a burned through joist will fall against the wall instead of pulling the wall down with ~ it. When joists enter stud walls and are supported by a ribbon, that — is, a board notched in the edges of the stud, they should be well spiked to the studs also. A feature of floor construction that is” hidden in upper floors but is usually in evidence underneath the — ground floor is the cross-bridging or diagonal bracing between the — joists. This bracing keeps the joists in alignment. If a joist is no thus supported by its fellows it may tilt or bend, and cause cracked plaster below and a sagging and squeaking floor prove. If floors do eee en ? i ease ae, nS piri “ Ty « ; re St: sag spaces will not be opened up between baseboards, casings and floors. ma, Floor joists are often weakened through cutting or boring holes in them to make room for plumbing or some other mechanical. equip- ment. Such cuts should not be deeper than one-fifth the depth of the _ joist below the top, and the center of a hole should not be more than the same distance from the top. These openings should be near the end of the beam and never further from the end than three times its depth. Cut-offs and Holes in Joists Where joists are cut off to make openings for stairways, etc., _ the joists along the side of the openings should be doubled and the oe ends of the cut joists spiked to a “header” which runs across _ the opening to the two double joists. The headers should be of the BY same depth as the joists and of at least double thinckness, Headers % that are more than eight feet long should be supported at their ends _ by metal stirrups from the trimmer or doubled joists. B x On account of the arrangement of rooms above it is often neces- sary to have the joists support what are called bearing partitions, _ which support part of the weight of the upper floors and other con- struction above them, as well as acting as room walls. Such parti- - tions, if possible, should always be in the same vertical plane with _ like partitions above or below. The lowest one should always be 4 directly over the girder in the basement. If partitions must rest on _ joists, the one immediately below such a partition should be doubled, if the partition is parallel. In case such a partition is to enclose pipes the double joists are placed two or three inches apart and connected s with well nailed blocking except where the pipe is to pass. When bearing partitions run across the joists, which is not often, a solid bridging of the same size as the joists should unite them direct- - ly beneath, and the joists should be larger, doubled or placed closer _ together. ‘In this connection it should be noted that it is better to increase the depths of the joists rather than to double them. All bearing partitions that support partitions above should have _ double plates across the top of the studs and also at the bottom B. unless the studs run down between the joists and rest on the top plate of a bearing partition below. They should have horizontal braces or bridging placed between the studs midway between the ‘floor and ceiling. If more than the weight of the two floors is carried by such a stud partition the members of the partition should be in- creased in size. Bits? x ee Equalizing Shrinkage of Wood _ The shrinkage of wood can not be entirely eliminated, but it can aie equalized so that little harm will result. It shrinks more across the grain than with it, so the amount of lumber with the grain hori- zontal should be as ‘nearly equal as possible in different parts of the building. A better way to put it would be to say that the horizontal “gfain pieces in a cross-section of the outside walls and of the bear- _ ing partitions should be the same—so that their shrinkage will be ae equal, thus maintaining their original relations. ‘hough a good foundation is fundamental it can be negatived by, a poor frame, especially in the portions that support weight or ‘ resist the pressure of wind. Plenty of windows are needed, but each _ window necessitates a hole in the wall that weakens it unless com- 3S _ pensated for. This is done by proper framing of the openings. Their Bice studs should be doubled and a double piece should be placed cross the top and bottom of the opening. If the opening is more than three feet wide it should be trussed across the top. The car- _ penter knows how to do it, and will do it if you insist. Narrow at og can be taken care of by headers, similar to those mepones a Biccctatine Ceres and Bie in Horeeting? all with a poorly framed opening supports joists the floors will Migr’. Watch the Roof Always It is sometimes said that the main purpose of a building is to tbport a roof. Anyway, a house without a roof is not much, and with a poor roof is little better. It is highly important that the sh or slope be ample for drainage. If the gutters are placed too 2 on a roof without sufficient pitch they will become clogged up snow and ice in the winter and water will back up under the covering, rotting the roof boards and ruining the ceilings. It is exceedingly important that the rafters be strong enough to a good job of holding up the roof. The writer recently ex- |a house for a prospective buyer that was so deficient in this : as to be pathetic and perhaps tragic. It is typical of jerry- It houses everywhere, whose sad appearance after a few years to frame construction, instead of to careless if not fraudu- he east has many eighteenth century frame houses that Dette ssoiday ve some of the stone and pes houses CANADA LUMBERMAN 45 erected at the same time, whereas new suburbs are spotted with houses that are ramshackle after a decade or less. In this particular house the individual rafters were not stiff enough and were sway- backed and sagging and there were not enough of them, that is, they were too far apart. In the ordinary frame house rafters should be not more than twenty inches apart. It is generally best practice to space L rafters the same as the studding and joists so each rafter end will have a solid support. Instead of resting on the outside walls, as they should, the rafters were supported by thin boards laid across the tops of the ceiling joists, and only about one rafter in four rested on anything solid underneath, the rest of them being spaced between joists. The roof covering was of slate and was heavy enough to bend the thin boards with the result that the eaves were as wavy as the edge of a bread knife, the ridge humped and the slate cracked and fell off. And this house had been completed within — a month! It was brand new but already falling down. Pioneer Lumberjack Has Cut Out Smoking Perhaps the most ruggedly interesting of pioneer figures in Eastern Ontario is Duncan MacDonnell, of Pembroke, Ont., who celebrated his ninety-sixth birthday to-day in a manner befitting a Hielan’ man who is nearly a hundred years young. He belongs to the MacDonnells, of Glencoe clan fame, and his mother, Janet Forbes, lived to her one hundred and fifth year. ‘Mr. MacDonnell — still cuts the wood for his son’s family and does the other odd jobs around the house. His eye is still bright and alert, and the ankylosis that has attacked his limbs has not reached his brain. He does not read, so he had not learned that the whiskey of which he had drunk so much when in the shanties—in preference to melted snow—was — bad for him. Now, since it has been cut out for him, he is sure it must have been bad. Smoking he cut out two years ago, as it was stunting his growth, he said. As a shantyman in the wild “good old days” his fare had been frozen bread and pork, washed down with the melted snow—failing whiskey! He was the first man to stamp on a stick of timber the initials of A. & P. White, the pioneer lumber-— men of the Ottawa valley clear through to North Bay. W. R. White, of Pembroke, whose father cut the first stick off timber in or near Pembroke, and was its first settler, tells the fol- lowing story of Mr. MacDonnell: “I was standing near Duncan one day when he was squaring a stick of red pine 60 feet long. He had felled it across a beech sapling which interfered with the play of his broadaxe. He cut the frosty sapling in two with one stroke, and it rebounded, hitting him in the forehead. It lifted his forehead - from his eyebrows to his hair, literally scalping him! “Getting dizzily to his feet, he deliberately mixed some chewen ing tobacco with snow and applied it to the raw wound, after hav-_ ing pressed it into place with his own hands. Then he bound it up— with a handkerchief he had used for at least a month and resumed | his work. That night, by the aid of a cracked mirror, he sewed the split in his scalp together with three enormous heavy linen stitches. — Next day he went to work again. “To-day,” continued Mr. White, ,‘a man would be in the hos- pital at least a month with an injury like that. Duncan never tells that story. In all the wonderful stories that roll from his lips, it is | always the other fellow who does the daring things.” J udgment Delivered in Lumber Action Judgment has been delivered by Justice Middleton, of Toronto, in the action and counter-action arising out of a contract for the pur- — chase of lumber entered into by M. Martin, of Huntsville, Ont., as | plaintiff, and Frank Austin, of Haliburton, as defendant. The action was originally tried before the late Justice Suther- land, but was not disposed of by him before his death. It was then re-argued on evidence transcribed, with the result that the defend- ant is to receive $39,474.32. As he has been paid $40,000, the judg- ment orders a refund of $523.58. Py Montreal Wholesalers Hear About Co-operation i At the luncheon of the Montreal Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association on January 3rd, Mr. J. S. Bock, the chairman, in wishing all the members a prosperous 1923, emphasized the value of co-opera- — tion, of mutual trust. He was certain, he said, that the exercise of the co-operative spirit would be of great advantage to every whole- saler. They should cultivate more fully the practice of inter-trading, so that each wholesaler would be benefited. The present year should be one of co-operative effort in furthering the interests of the trade and of extending their business.

Vol. 43 Toronto, January 15, 1923 No. 2 The Horoscope in Lumber Line The year 1922 was one in which considerable progress was made in general conditions of the lumber trade. January opened with some misgivings but is was not many weeks before an active cam- paign in house and store construction started. The impetus was felt in all the larger centres of population and kept up encouragingly until the end of December, the mild weather being favorable to con- struction. The result was that softwoods had a steady persistent call which caused values to become more stable and the retailers to reduce their stocks appreciably. So great was the demand for small dimension, joists, studding, etc., that hemlock, spruce, jack pine, B. C. fir and southern pine were all purchased in large quantities and toward the end of the season a scarcity developed in certain widths and thicknesses. Dry stock in mill yards, as soon as it was ready for shipment, was moved out and saw mills ran considerably later than the previous year. The result of the large turnover in soft- woods is that stock‘s in the yards of manufacturers today are from 25 to 50% lower than they were a year ago at this time and different sizes are badly broken, particularly in the higher grades. Prices have been much firmer during the past few months than they were at the beginning of 1922 and they show no signs of re- cession. On the other hand it is predicted that values may rise con- siderably until the new stocks come on the market. More inquiries are being made today for the cuts of mills and the _ probable output than at any time since the unpredicted boom of 1920. The cut in the bush this winter will be unusually heavy. There was a shortage of labor at the beginning of the season but all the camps are now pretty well manned. It is reported that, owing to increased logging operations there are between 900 and 1,000 camps running in Ontario at the present time. There is a feeling of confidence in the lumber tarde that 1923 px bea year of steady values, growing volume and stable demand. Equalization of production and consumption will be more marked, and apparently the building spurt, which took place in all the larger communities, will continue unabated So far as hardwoods are concerned, these were quite dull for the first few months in the year, the only call being from automobile plants, with a few straggling orders from furan euee producers. Local industrial establishments were running on a. much reduced scale _ and had an abundance of stock on hand. The principal market was over the border, and it is believed found its way into the United States. have begun to find business steadily reviving during the last few _ weeks. There are now more inquiries for stock, the wide spread in _ prices has disappeared and things generally have taken on a brighter aspect. During the closing months of 1922 considerable difficulty ear experienced in making shipments owing to shortage of cars } > Canadian plants, however, that about 80% of the stock sold © WS eee and embargoes at various points but the transportation situation im-— proved with the beginning of 1923. A larger cut in hardwoods is taking place than thete was antici pated. There is much reconnoitering for stocks and those, who have quantities of native woods on hand, are not inclined to part vin them, unless they can secure the figure sought. ‘ 1922 was a very good year in the lumber industry, so far asa Ontario was concerned. High-priced stocks were cleared out and operations got down to a replacement value. It was a period of re-— covery and readjustment, and while not a money-making era with | ‘ many wholesalers or producers, still a firm foundation was laid for. rearing a good super-structure during 1923. a J anuary is the Convention Month Are you too big or too small for your business? This qu may arotise more than passing interest and aptly describes a fe men who are found in every calling or trade. We refer particularly to those who are either so great, successful and all-important that they do not need to attend a trade convention, or the ones who are? so suspicious, narrow-gauged and selfish that they cannot spare a few hours or a few dollars to mingle with their brethren. 9 In every town and city there is always the fellow who thinks i he is very much above the average in his class or calling. Then there is the other chap who imagines that if men of the same vocation a come together, these “conventioneers” are neglecting their own business or assemble merely for some sordid or selfish purpose. The fellow, who stays away and thinks he knows all about running his — ae own affairs and is not going to be dictated to by anybody, and re- marks that he possesses a hang-sight more knowledge about lumber and conducting a planing mill or taking care of stock than Billa Smith who lives over in the next town, is, however, findin his ranks growing thinner. He-is being out- ‘classed and out-distanced, — fy and like a man who is slowly freezing to death in a zero Sommer Shey? is not aware of his awful fate. January is generally a quiet period in the lumber trade. The retailer, wholesaler or millman has just completed his work for the year, taken his inventory and is looking out over the twelve months that are to come. He cannot spend his time to better advantage than attending a convention, rubbing shoulders with the other fel- 4 low, learning at first hand what he thinks of present conditions and the outlook and ascertaining what is being done in distant localities and by other concerns. Such a process is broadening, Boe EG and stimulating. fa While one may go through life comparatively isolated, com- panionship is the natural atmosphere in which we all like to move. Nowhere will the lumber manufacturer, wholesaler or retailer find better, more congenial and agreeable associations than with those engaged in the same line of activity. This does not mean that itis necessary all the while to “talk shop.” There are many other in- terests in common which would form subjects of mutual discussion, and whether at work or play there is no finer, more intellectual or progressive class of business man than the lumberman. He posses- ses public spirit, he shows his faith in the town or city where cone : resides by the investment of a large amount of capital in stock, equipment, plant and premises. He assists in every way in if ECE 4 up the community and fosters in season and out of season the splen- did home-owning idea which is the bulwark of contentment, solidity and attractiveness of any wide-awake centre. 5 The lumberman is playing a great part, often silently, but never- theless effectively, in the upbuild, prestige and permanence of every — community. He can do this all the better if he will take the time to i" attend the annual sessions of the Canadian Lumbermen’s Associa- _ tion in Montreal or of the Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ gathering in Windsor. These conventions are growing in interest and ae portance, in attendance and results. The sittings this month will — stand out more prominently and pleasantly than ever by reason of — the brighter trade outlook, sounder financial conditions, general air — of confidence and optimistic auSPiCes under which ‘they are hetd: The Daily Chase After Business In this world we largely get what we give. Let a man show himself friendly, considerate and helpful and others adopt the same attitude toward him, but if he is narrow-gauge, selfish and spiteful, — he is viewed with suspicion, distrust and hatred. The tolerant, ~ buoyant, genial representative who carries through all the troubles — and turmoil of the daily grind a reassuring smile and affable air, is ; the one who really gets the most out of life. 4 It is the same in business. He, who will pass along a few pointers, any little plan or practical proposition that he has evolved for increasing trade, etc., is not only benefiting others but feel bigger and ‘broader himself. _ Perhaps it is some device for redu ei as Soy 5 eS a Ch Ae ee g Nad Ses 8 . the be overhead expenses or eliminating waste or it may be some small in- vention so that a job can be done easier and quicker. ‘There are yarious little plans which have saved money, and there is no rea- ‘son why all these should not be passed along for the general bene- fit and welfare of one’s fellows. ~ __—* No one in the lumber or any other line of trade, has a monopoly of all the economic ideas of the world. He can be told something by the other fellow, and should give out some thoughts in exchange. _ Many shortcuts have been established which have resulted in con- serving time and money for many a merchant or manufacturer. The higher the general average of any trade is in efficiency, output, ser- vice, and development, the better for its individual units. The man, who is all the time in search for useful and helpful information that will aid him in placing his business on a sounder oting and a more productive plane, is he who is not afraid to an- yer or to ask questions, but attends conventions, studies trade ipers, takes part in discussions and visits his competitors. All these e ways to enlarge one’s stock of knowledge, and the more one _ knows about this business to-day, the greater are his opportunities for success. _ __It costs next to nothing to be placed in possession of worth- while practical ideas, and helps the retailer to keep up with the pro- _ cession. When a man feels that he is right up to the minute in his business and is taking advantage of every opportunity for keeping in close touch with all that relates to its progress and prosperity, __ he has a sense of pride and duty well done, of efficiency and satisfac- tion, which makes his career one that stands out successfully and _ remuneratively. Recently a paper dealing with the building situation said that _ the only way to keep people satisfied was to give them changes and new impressions. The old office should be shined up, the yard _ straightened out and some fresh feature put in the chase after busi- ness. This is good advice, so far, as material surroundings are con- cerned, and the same might pertinently said with regard to the lum- _ ber merchant himself. He should be an optimist, make no promises _ he cannot keep, study the wants of his customers, never show dis- _ couragement or hold spite, be fair and just in his relations with all _ those in and about him, and above everything learn to control him- _ self. No man is ever master of his trade, his destiny or his desires intil he has first learned the virtue and value of self-conquest, and respects the rights and convictions of others. aa Commercial Use of Waste of the Log ___ Announcement was made recently at Washington by tlie Na- _ tional Lumber Manufacturers Association of what is believed to be an epochal development in the economics of the lumber industry. On the authority of Robert B. Allen, of Seattle, secretary-manager _ of the West Coast Lumbermen’s Association, who has been in Wash- ‘ington in conference with the officers of the National Association, it was stated that after a long period of experimentation the prob- lem of carbonizing wood wastes and converting them into briquettes a thermal value equal to that of the best anthracite coal has been ed and practically developed. General introduction of the new dustry made possible by this development is capable of effecting utilization of the enormous waste material of logging and lumber tf with far-reaching effects on fuel supplies, metallurgical and peice industries, reclaiming of cut-over lands and reforestation of such lands as are not suitable for agriculture. ig _ Not more than 40 per cent on the average of a timber tree as it stands in the forest goes into the shape of lumber at the mill. The _ waste of limbs and unused portions of the trunk in the woods, and bark, sawdust, slabs and trimmings at the mill account for the re- g 60 ger cent. Not all of this waste, from the lumber-product of view, is waste of material, as varying utilization of these y-products is now made, from rough fuel to paper making and some of industrial chemical manufacture; but the amount of waste erial attendant upon the operations of the 30,000 sawmills of nited States and the incomplete utilization of these by-products the aggregate stupendous. _ The mill ie themselves to which the new development will primarily applied are placed by one authority at 46 to 56 per the volume of the logs milled. The kerf, or cut made by the sulting in sawdust, accounts for 13.5 per cent of an average e bark waste runs from 10 to 20 per cent; edging and trim- 1 ‘represent 8.7 per cent; slabs the same; careless sawing 3.5 per it; and sizing to standard dimensions involves a material waste met cent. A fair- sized sawmill, producing 200,000 board feet umber daily will have 200 cords of waste material to dispose of. y considerably more than half of this material is now thrown piles or burned because there is no market for its utiliza- riking feature of the ordinary sawmill plant is the enor- lrical tower of the “burner” whose fires perpetually con- of lumber making.

General introduction of a practicable system of extracting high grade fuel from wood wastes, together with the incidental by-pro- ducts is of substantial interest to the general public, because profit- able use of what has heretofore been wasted will naturally tend to ~ check the tendency of lumber prices to rise with the depletion of the forests. At, present the 30 or 40 per cent of the tree that is utilized has to pay for itself, as well as the 60 or 70 per cent that is wasted. It is planned to erect ten briquetting mills in the near future, from Vancouver, British Columbia, on the north to Marshfield, Ore- gon, on the south. The idea in having so many plants being to save transportation costs by locating the briquetting mills near to both sources of material and to markets. Where the briquetting plants are operated in conjunction with sawmills the transportation item is negligible because the waste from the mills goes directly into the briquetting retorts ;otherwise, the waste has to be “hogged,” a tech- nical term for chipping it into small pieces, in order to be suscept- ible to economical transportation. In brief, according to Mr. Allen and his associates, success in developing this process of carbonizing and briquetting wood wastes means (1) an enormous saving in the lumber industry (2) the pro- duction of a high-grade fuel at a reasonable price suitable for do- mestic purposes (3) the development of iron and steel industries on the Pacific Coast (4) production of large quantities of fuel gas, tar and acetone alcohol (5) the facilitation of the clearing of large tim- ber land suitable for agriculture and (6) the reduction of the costs of reforestation on timber lands not suitable for agriculture to a point that will make reforestation fracticable. Western Mills Expect Lively Season Reports received from British Columbia are to the effect that all the mills in the province will within the next few weeks be run- ning full blast. The outlook is favorable in the lumber business as one of the most important basic lumber industries of the province and leading financial and business men declare that orders are in © sight for, at least, the next six months in both export and domestic markets. It is believed that the public regards existing conditions as ap- proaching nearer to stabilization than for many years and that the future holds promise for sound operations for some time eo come. Of course, one of the most important factors will be the European situation, and if affairs are satisfactorily straightened out across the - water, the effect will be world-wide, There appears to be a wide- - spread desire on every side to bring business into that condition of stability which means so much. Optimism seems to prevail in most quarters and there is apparently no reason why the West should not enter upon 1923 with every confidence. Many western firms say that general world markets were never brighter for forest products than they are now and some voice the | opinion that 1923 will be a banner year in the history of the industry> Although prices have stiffened within the last two months, Vancouver mills are booked for three months ahead and new business is showing for the spring and summer cuttings. The Japanese de- — demand for cedar squares is strengthening. China is buying in great- er quantities and is asking for railway ties and railway timbers. How Spark Arresters Stop Forest Fires, The destruction of both forests and standing crops by fires caus- ed by sparks from railway locomotives is known to be so great that there will be much satisfaction over the fact that in order to prevent this needless and enormous waste, the United States Forest Service has been co-operating with western railroads in developing a spark arrester, with such apparent success that one series of tests made on © the Colorado & Southern Railroad proved highly effective in saving forests, even though there had been a season of prolonged drought. Gratifying results were also obtained on engines operating through the South Park, or what is known as the “Hay Country.” Previous to installing the spark arresters, men were kept busy plowing fire guards the entire length of the road through the South Park and other places where fires were common. The use of the spark arrest- ers has eliminated all of this work. The contrivance is very simple to make and install; the work can be done at any of the railroad shops. The netting must be renewed every 30 days to maintain its efficiency. The engineers are greatly in favor of the use of the spark _ arresters as with them installed they can leave their windows open. — When it is considered that dozens of fires are caused every year in Canada and the United States from flying sparks, the value of some such device is apparent. . a ae 48 CANADA LUMBERMAN Mr. Lovering Again Heads Lumbermen’s Section J. Lovering was re-elected Pn of the Lumbermen’s Section of the Toronto Board of Trade at the annual meeting held recently, when reports for the past year were presented. It was shown that the finances of the organization were in good shape and while not a great deal of business had ‘been transacted during 1922, it was felt that, ‘be- ing the oldest lumber ‘body in the city, a useful purpose was be- ing served and the section should continue to function. It is a re- presentative of both wholesalers and retailers and it was decided that the annual fee should be re- duced from $3.00 to $2.00 a year. J. B. Jarvis and G. B. Van Blari- “a |. y com, \Editor of ‘the , “Canada : Lumberman,” were requested to iy W. J. Lovering, Toronto prepare a report on the past . year’s operation in the lumber _ industry for incorporation in the annual publication of the Toronto Board of Trade. Sam. McBride was nominated as the representa-. tive of the section on the Canadian National Exhibition Association, and J. B. Jarvis as member of the Board of Arbitration. T. A. Pater- sson, of Mickle, Dyment & Son, Toronto, was re-elected vice-chair- man for 1923, and Horace Boultbee, secretary-treasurer. He was - yoted the usual honorarium for his services. The committee for #1923 consists of A: E. ‘Clark, W. ‘C. Gall, J. B. Jarvis, ©. G. Ander son and S. McBride. ; Among those fresent at the meeting were W. J. Lovering, J. B. Jarvis, Sa McBride, A. E. Eckardt, W. C. Laidlaw, R. G. Ches- ~ bro, A. E. Clark, Hugh Munro, Horace Boultbee, G. B. Van Blari- com and others. A general discussion took place over the prospects of trade for the coming year and it was agreed that the outlook was getting brighter all the while. Wholesale Lumber Firm Holds Reunion A reunion of the sales, inspection, shipping and office staff of - Edward Clark & Sons, Limited, wholesale lumber dealers, Toronto, was held at the new Mount Royal Hotel, Montreal, on December 27th. During the afternoon several hours were spent in conference and in discussion of plans and work for the coming year. A. E. _ Clark presided over the gathering. The meeting took place in the metropolis owing to its central _ location, so far as the eastern staff is concerned, and among those present were,—W.N. Fox, of Toronto, (accountant) ; D. A. Webster, of Boston, (manager of eastern sales); A. D. Titcomb, of Newport, Mass., (sales and shipping); C. A, Runnells, of Williamsport, Pa., (sales and shipping); E. F. Runnells, of Walton, N. Y., (sales and shipping) ; E. W. Sanborn, New York, (sales); A. A. Bell, of Swan- ton, Vt., (general superintendent of mills, piling and production) ; E. T. Willman, Calumet, Que., (shipping); A. N. Little, of Newbury port, Mass., (shipping) ; C. 'C. Jackson, of Toronto, (sales and ship- ping), and eae McIntyre, of Grenville, Que., (shipping). ; In the evening a dinner was tendered by the firm to the mem- bers of the staff. A silent toast was drunk to the late Edward Clark, _ the veteran founder of the house, who passed away a few weeks ago. _ The present head of the organization, A. E. Clark, was honored dur- ing the evening and a number of warm tributes paid him. In reply- ing he stated that the conference had been to discuss methods of manufacture, piling and shipping so as to improve the service of the organization to the public. The inspection department work was also gone into and practical suggestions made for the prompt sending in of reports of stocks in the various yards so that shipping could be _ speeded up. It was necessary that there should be close co-operation td between every branch of the business if production, inspection, ship- _ ping and sales were to proceed uninterruptedly and the best pos- sible results achieved. Mr. Clark stated another matter that had been considered was _ the possible thicknesses and grades of hardwoods required in dif- ferent territories for the coming year. Inspection and measurement and the best means to emp loy were also touched wpon as well as how each man could widen his activities and do considerable scout- ing in the way of inquiries, prospects, etc., and sending in valuable information. It was important that the reports of inspectors should be forwarded without delay and in properly classified form so that all the details would be known and the stock not get donw to tail mi ska Pe - "4 added attractions is a game of golf over the nine-hole course which Ee Oe ends before those who had the selling of it realized Sones they w at. Another matter that Mr. Clark said had ce taken up ‘was th different ways of piling lumber so as to dry quickly, and at the sam time get out the stock in the ‘best condition possible. He felt th good ‘results could be accomplished from conferences, that they all — had a better appreciation of one another and the work which they — were seeking to do, and that they would go out determined to do — their utmost and to labor whole-heartedly and unitedly for the suc cess of the organization, a Shantymen’s Christian Association Makes Progress , It seems difficult for some people to understand that the lection is not the most important thing in a religious service. fifteen years the missionaries of the Shantymen’s Christian Associ tion have been visiting as many lumber camps, as their num er would permit. In all these years their rule has been that no collec- tions are asked for in the camps. This simple rule has comme ; them to the men who thus see it is pure disinterested. concern their welfare, that brings them there. As the missionaries do. not represent any particular church lumberjacks of all classes give then a hearty welcome, the only complaint the men make is that thei. visits are too few. So satisfied are these missionaries with the good that is pee accomplished that the same men continue in the work year after year, and new ones are being added annually. The work now ex- tends from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and this winter a staff of about twenty men is being employed in Canada, while others ‘ane at work in various parts of the United States. = Because of its independent character, no support is received | from the Home Mission Funds, and only very little from the em- ploying lumbermen. No guaranteed salary is promised to any man but the needs of their families are supplied by funds sent to the head office of the Christian Shantymen’s Association, 15 Toronto St., Toronto; or to the treasurers of the branches in Winnipeg, Van- couver, SHE John, N.B.

Mackenzie, of Georgetown, Ont., who was recently elected chairman of the Orangeville (or No. 6) District of the Ontario Re- © tail Lumber Dealers’ Association, is an ardent golfer. It was only about a year ago that he took up this pastime and he has developed into a “fan” and would much sooner miss his mid-day meal than making the daily round on the links. ~ Mr. Mackenzie has invited the members of the Ovaagercitie A District to hold a spring meeting in Georgetown, and among the should be in good shape by the latter end of May. A recent ‘despatch from Georgetown conferred fame on “J. B.” It stated that he and his son and a guest from Toronto were playing on Christmas Day. Mackenzie, Jr. was trying out a new driver which he found in his Xmas stocking. As the speckled trout played about in icy waters, the golfers burrowed in snowdrifts in fairly successful drives. The balls were painted red for the occas- ion. Mr, Mackenzie believes that he has achieved a record in play- _ ing golf on Christmas Day and doubtless he will be the first man out upon the fair-ways when the snow has melted and Mother Earth shows again her smiling countenance. Logging Operations Grow Greater in East There is every indication of buoyancy in the lumber market and a the optimism of the lumbermen is being expressed in the expansion — of operations in the woods. In all sections of New Brunswick the J original estimates of cuts are being expressed in the expansion of — operations in the woods. In all parts of the province the original’ © estimates of cuts are being exceeded and the total cut will ‘be muc larger than was anticipated but will not reach the total of three years ma ago. a8 The department of lands and mines has forty-two scalers ang a sixteen helpers at work on the various operations. The North Shore — operations are going on with the total cut likely to be considered in excess of what was expected. oy In other parts of the province there have been large increases. On the Big Cedar, a tributary of the Tobique, the Stetson ‘Cutler Co., | are cutting in an operation of 5,000,000 feet which they did not con- — template at all at the beginning of the logging season. In Mada- — waska a pulpwood operation of 10,000 cords for the Fraser Sa ies, Limited, at PONG has been ee to 15,000 conde al ps i Bass 79, Fred. Bigwood Heads the Kiwanis Club Fred. H. Bigwood, of the Can- adian General Lumber Co., was elected president of the Senior Kiwanis Club, Toronto, for 1923, at the annual meeting held recently. Mr, Bigwood has long been connected with the Ki- -wanis organization, and at the big International Convention, held in Toronto in June last, he was the energetic chairman of the committee of arrangements. He carried out his duties faith- fully and successfully and proved that he is an organizer of abil- ity, and at the same time never becomes ruffled or riled. He is calm under all conditions and should make an excellent pre- siding officer. Mr. Bigwood, who is a brother of W. E. Big- a wood, Toronto, former presi- Fred. H. Bigwood, Toronto dent of the Canadian Lumber- : men’s Association, was born at “Winooski, near Burlington, Vermont, and has been identified with the lumber vocation all his life. While in Vermont he was largely - engaged in the screen door business and some fifteen years ago came to Toronto, entering the sales department of Graves,» Bigwood & Co., whose mills are at Byng Inlet. About that time the com- pany started extensively in the manufacture of box shooks, and F. _ H. Bigwood has devoted special attention to the management of that department. He was elected a director of the Canadian Gen- eral Lumber Co. at its formation five or six years ago and to-day has charge of the office sales of that organization. “Fred” as he is generally known, is a man of versatile accom- plishments. He won the fat man’s race at the annual picnic of the Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association held at the Lake Shore Country Club last summer, and two years previous at Grimsby he captured the trophy for being “the handsomest man on the _ grounds.” Now he is president of the Kiwanis Club which position he will no doubt fill with credit to himself and satisfaction to the _ organization. ; Mr. Shirton Retires From Municipal Life + K. J. Shirton, of the William Shirton Co., Dunnville, Ont., who has been Mayor of that town for the last two years, has retired from _ municipal politics. He filled the office faithfully and well during - his regime. As far as his own business was concerned, he showed _ every faith in the prosperity of the town, erecting a large new shed for storing dressed lumber and also an attractive new office building. Mr, Shirton is a public-spirited citizen, not only taking in- terest in the affairs of Dunnville but also in the welfare and ad- _ yancement of the Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association of _which he is vice-president. It is expected that at the forthcoming annual meeting, which will be held in Windsor on January 24th, 25th and 26th, he will succeed J. C. Scofield, of Windsor, as presiding officer of the organization. Madawaska Lumberman Wins Suit on Appeal i Judgment has been rendered by the Supreme Court of Canada im the appeal case of J. P. Moran, of Madawaska County, N.B., vs. _ the Hammond Lumber Company with a verdict awarding the plain- , iff Moran $10,900 and costs, with the costs of the courts below. This judgment upsets the decision which was given by the Supreme Court of New Brunswick when the case was heard on ap- peal from the decision rendered by Mr. Justice Barry refusing the laim of the plaintiff, although the damages had been assessed by e jury at the trial as $10,900, the amount which has been awarded 7 the final decision of the Supreme Court of Canada. The judg- it upholding the decision of Mr. Justice Barry, which was ren- red by the Supreme Court of New Brunswick, was not unanimous, Justice Crocket dissenting at the time. _ This action arose out of contracts let by the Hammond Lum- ber Company for the cutting of some five million feet of logs, which Ww sub-contracted for amongst various operators. Among these the plaintiff who had taken a contract to supply a million. arrangement was later upset by the departure of the contrac- Beeconded without making the oS to te sub-con- CANADA LUMBERMAN 49 difficulty between the plaintiff and the defendant company which was later repudiated by the company on the grounds that no tract existed, no written agreement having been made. The trial of the action was heard before Mt Justice Barry with a jury, but the plaintiff's claim was disallowed by His Honor al- though the jury assessed damages amounting to $10,900. The case was then appealed before the Supreme Court of New Brunswick where this decision was upheld although Mr. Justice Crocket dis- sented. Later in November of 1922 the case was argued before the Supreme Court of Canada. con- Western Lumber Retailers Going To Coast Arrangements for the Lumber Dealers’ special train from Win- nipeg to Vancouver have been completed, leaving Winnipeg Jan- uary 28. The delegates to the annual convention of the Western Retail Lumbermen’s Association will go over one system, returning over the other. Regina, Calgary, Edmonton, Nelson, Prince Rupert and Vancouver boards of trade have extended invitations to banquets at various points. The purpose of the excursion is to discuss the trend of prices and trade conditions for supplying the prairies with lumber this year. ‘Two days will be spent in conference with repre- sentatives of the Pacific and Mountain Mill men. There will be an enormous increase in volume of lumber con- sumed on the prairies this season, estimates by prominent retailers and jobbers are as high as one hundred and fifty million feet, but the consumers still: owe twenty-five million dollars of old accounts on the prairies, and arrangements must be made to carry these over until next October, as well as supply new credits. Mr. Dick Declines Aldermanic Honors Alex. Dick, manager of the Alfred McDonald Lumber Co., Lim- ited, Peterboro, Ont., on nomination day had his name placed on the list for both the Board of Education and for aldermanic honors in Peterboro although he was away at the time paying a visit to the bush operations of the company. He was urged by a large number of citizens to allow his candidature to stand but had to decline. Mr. Dick is a very busy man at present and outside of his business ac- tivities, is vice-president of the Kiwanis Club and chairman of the Entertainment Committee of the Grand Encampment, I.0.0.F., which will meet in Peterboro this summer. Mr. Dick believes that the year upon which the lumber industry is just entering will be one of the best in the history of his firm,—at least that is the way it looks locally. The company have one camp in and a large number of job- bers and are bringing out as much timber as they can. How Homes Have Increased in Toronto The year 1922 showed an increase of over fifty per cent. over the amount of building in 1921 in Toronto. The figures as received by the city architect’s department show that buildings to the value of $35,213,000 have received permits this year. In contrast to this is the permits totalling $23,877,000 issued last year. In brick dwellings alone there has been an increase of Over six million dollars. The number for 1921 was 2,931, while 1922 has 4,654. The brick dwellings erected are of much the same class as last year, the majority running from $4,200 to $4,300 in value. While Toronto homes have been increasing at a very rapid rate, the increase in the number of stores is even more startling. Last year 269 stores were erected, and this year 539, an increase of just over one hundred per cent. Why Have Railway Ties Changed Colour? In an age of rapid changes even the railway tie has become dif- ferent. Whhy are the ties, piled beside the track ready for installa- tion in the roadbed, black instead of the customary natural colour of the wood? _ The black appearance results from treatment with creosote oil, the object of which is to prevent decay and thus lengthen the ser- vice life of the ties. Just why or how the creosote treatment does this is, however, not generally understood. It is explained by the Forest Products Laboratories of Canada, Forestry Branch, Depart- ment of the Interior, where extensive research on the preservative — treatment of timber has been conducted, that the decay of wood is due entirely to the action of low forms of plant life known as wood- destroying fungi. These fungi utilize the wood substance as food, destroying it in the process. The creosote oil, which is forced deeply into the wood by powerful pumps, poisons the food supply of the fungal plants, making it impossible for them to destroy the timber. As properly creosoted ties in a well-made track will last twice as long as untreated ones, it is certain that they will soon be in Sonera use on all Canadian railways. ae ea Se ee ee ee : ee Z : ot r Fe = 3 rupt. Ee CANADA LUMBERMAN ts Sea ore He Specializes in Posts, Ties and Poles J. Murdock, of Durham, Ont., is a widely-known lumberman in that part of Grey County, who has devoted all his life to the busi- Ness, specializing in poles, posts and railway ties. He recalls many stirring reminiscences of his career, and a chat with him is most interesting. Mr. Murdock was born in the village of Dornoch, some ten miles north of Durham, in the township of Glenelg, a little over forty years ago, and worked on a farm there. He did considerable logging in the winter time, and took out railw ay ties, cut posts, etc., in “the bush. He broadened his experience by g eetting a job in saw- Mr. and Mrs J. Murdock and family, Durham, Ont. mills at different localities, and some thirteen years ago secured a position as inspector for the C.P.R. of ties, posts, poles, etc, He was with the railway five years and then launched out into business on his own behalf in Durham where he carries a general line of lum- ber and shingles, poles, posts, coal, etc. During the past year he shipped out over fifty carloads of material from different points, and states that he has unloaded another fifty. -Mr. Murdock looks for- ward to the coming year with considerable optimism. Mr. Brown Asks Some Perplexing Questions Fred Brown, of Fort Frances, Ont., in a recent timely letter to the press on the protection, or rather lack of it; in connection with the forest resources of Canada, asks some pertinent questions which should set all Canadians not only thinking but acting. Mr. Brown says :— Is it true, or is it not true, that ‘Canada denudes about 35,000 acres a month for pulpwood exports alone? Is it true that the denudation of forest land for pulpwood ex- ports in eight months up to November 30, to be precise, has reached an aggregate of 332,000 acres? It is true, or is it not true, that in 1922 one million and one half acres of timber and pulpwood were destroyed by fires? This stupendous acreage concerns only Ontario, Quebec, New Bruns- wick and Nova Scotia. British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatch- ewan have had their fires, too, and it is known, perhaps not to Mr. Hall Caine, that one single conflagration in the Western Mountains made out of one million acres of splendid forest one million acres ' of stumps, windfalls and insect-breeding places. Is it true, or is it not true, that in the Provinces of Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick alone over two hundred million cords, or, approximately, 75,000,000 acres of pulpwood are destroyed and use- less for manufacture by the budworm alone? Does anybody in Ontario know the acreage of forest destroyed by primary fires, as well as fires in second growth? Does any- body, and by anybody I mean the Department of Forestry as well as foresters and laymen, know the value of potential timber wealth destroyed during the year 1922? In view of these questions, I would like to ask another ques- tions. Is it not high time to have a survey made of our burned- over forest land, so that the Department of Forests can evolve a sane and practicable working plan for reforestation? Truly the time is not far distant when the whole of Canada will be a forest bank- It is unquestionably up to the various Governments (Pro- SPR wag RIES é ia i ta oe ee v aye Py Wied r - vy Toe hr ~ vgn vincial and Dominion as well) i see to it tht ‘Canatk shall not share the fate of the Mediterranean countries and also of England. The history of these countries seems to prove that the gap in the — local timber supply is never filled by- private enterprise, in spite 4 of the stimulus afforded by the high prices of wood goods. id Lumber Industry Reports Prosperous Year _ re The production of both hard and softwood lumber in the United = States for the year 1922 is placed by the National Lumber Manu- — facturers Association at approximately 32,000,000,000 board feet, as — compared with the estimated output of 25 026,000,000 for 1921 and 33,798,800,000 feet for 1920 according to official statistics. While © 1922 did not come up to the 1920 level, which marks the high point — of production in recent years, it is considered to have been a credit- _ able and satisfactory achievement in view of the extraordinary de- pression of the industry in 1921. ' “The industry as a whole,” says Wilson Compton, of ‘Washing- | ton, D.C., Secretary and Manager of the Association, “is in an ex- ceedingly favorable economic condition. Since November 1921, out- — side of the customary mid-winter drop in lumber shipments, ‘there was until August of this year a steady reduction of stocks on hand, although production was heavy, and shipments, although substantial- ly greater than production, fell continuously behind the volume of new business. Throughout the year the rate of accumulation of un- filled orders varied from four per cent. to fifteen per cent. of the current production. Since July irregularity and shortage ‘of trans- portation have resulted in current shipments constantly falling be- low production. The result for this period was an extraordinarily — depletion of stocks at mills favored by transportation and a large accumulation at some unable to secure adequate transportation ser- vice; and production has been constantly in excess of shipments. — Employment has been virtually on a full time basis at omens imcreased pay, and the returns to mill owners have been satisfactory — though happily unaccompanied by runaway market of price inflation — at the mills. There is no present indication that the lumber situa- tion in 1923 will not be as good as in 1922; on the other hand, there ~ are many signs that it will be as good or better; and so far as ~ fundamental conditions of supply and demand go, good {33 a num- — ber of years to come.’ bo Old Roce of Lumber Tariff Once More _ Negotiations have been opened through proper channels be- — tween the United States and Canada, so says a recent report from — Washington, to consider whether and countervailing tariff duties | may be placed in the United States on imports of Canadian lumber. At the same time, it was added, that President Harding has no pro- — positions before him involving immediate alterations of present tar- — iffs ‘on the products. he Provisions of the Fordney Tariff Bill now in effect, it was hoa at the Tariff Commission, provide that the United States may place © a tariff on certain types of lumber which now come in free, when ~ produced in a country which puts a duty on similar products aeette a ed to it from the United States. 4 Canada was said to have a 25 per cent duty i in n effect « on imports of the United States types of lumber in question and thus to have raised the question as to whether Uniter States schedules” should | legally be raised to an equal amount. .

There is a strong move for the _ widening out of the Association and a series of meetings will decide _ whether this is to prove successful, or not. iS During the past ten years, said Mr. Beck, the work of the Asso- ciation had been principally devoted to matters strictly connected with the advancement of trade among its members. This would, of course, continue, but the new movement was toward enlarging this activity along the lines of industrial research. : Port Arthur Operators Get Berths Port Arthur operators were successful tenderers on two of the _ three timber berths disposed of by the Provincial Department of ~~ Lands and Forests in Toronto lately. They are the Newago Com- pany, Ltd., and J. O. Stewart, who receive three and six mile allot- ments, respectively. Prices on all three timber berths are said by _ departmental officials to be very satisfactory. The Newago Company, Port Arthur, secured three square miles __ of pine timber on portions of Concessions 5, 6 and 7, in Lyon town- _ ship, Thunder Bay. Their bid was accompanied by a marked cheque for $700. They tendered $12 plus $2.50 for pine, 20 cents plus 10 cents for ties, and Crown dues (25 cents) for fuel wood. _ Six square miles of territory adjacent to the Grand Trunk Pa- cific, east of Horne, was secured by J. O. Stewart, Port Arthur, whose _ tender was accompanied by marked cheque for $500. For pine he pays $6 plus $2.50; spruce, poplar or basswood, $4 plus $2; for tim- ber $2.50 plus $1.50; spruce pulpwood 20 cents plus 80 cents; other _ pulp 60 cents plus 40 cents; ties 4 cents plus 10 cents; fuel wood 25 cents plus 25 cents. The Border Lumber Company, Fort Frances, was the third suc- _ __ cessful tenderer, securing three miles north of the Indian Reserva- tion, north of Douglas Island, in the Rainy River district. a i sive ean _-———s« Mill Production Suffers From Low Water _ George Oberton, of Canton, N. Y., in a recent letter to the _ “Canada Lumberman,” says that approximately all the pulp and _ paper mills in Northern New York are running just at present be- _ low normal capacity on account of low water. Somewhere in the _ neighborhood of 80 mills have been affected iby this condition. Dur- ing the first week in January cutting and skidding of logs in the Adirondacks ceased as the majority of lumbermen were waiting for snow. ree 4 ti Bic! } Quebec Firms Have Faith in Future a ay a ee Those who own fulpwood limits or deal in pulpwood will be _ interested in the latest developments of the newsprint industry. _ Canada is making a strong bid for this business in all parts of the world, and at the present rate of expansion will soon overtake the U.S. as a producer of newsprint. It remains to be seen whether the ~ Dominion is not overdoing it, and whether the output of the new mills and of the extensions to existing plants will not result in a ‘ger tonnage than can be absorbed. One idea is that owing to the Owing scarcity of pulpwood, many U. S. newsprint mills will be reed to go into other lines of paper-making and that the trade of Se converting mills will come to this country. Two large Canadian companies—the Donnacona Paper Co., and ce Bros., Limited, announce programmes of enlarged production. e first-named has ordered a very wide paper machine, which will made in England, while Price Bros., will increase their capacity 00 tons per day to 900 tons per day, or 280,000 tons per annum, Lae » erat cnt < of '. ‘ CANADA LUMBERMAN _italists who are interested in promoting new mills. ee de ttt stsetia tions oth nop 0000000 [ALAA Aaa no ete DE POMONA eeesete Seren esol tees atc sth ieaytieteectneehe® Soseseeten shee an opted SEY TEETER TE RADE LO LO IIIT ESAT TT RE AOE so ietasetteent seretiae legs secareess seat ecattarsstin reste te sei h sate gees aint tate temay hate the largest production in Canada. The increased output will be gradual and will not reach the peak until 1926. This is the corollary of the proposed development of the fower resources of Lake St. John and the Saguenay River, which it is estimated will result in a saving to the company of a million dollars per annum, by the sub- stitution of electricity for coal. The company’s limits are estimated to contain about 20,000,000 cords of pulpwood. There are projects for other mills, but the action of Price Bros., and other large companies may have a restraining influence on cap- It is evident that Price Bros., and the Donnacona Co., and others who intend to extend their plants have great faith in the future of the Canadian pulp and paper industry. Fire Visits Plant of Spruce Falls Co. Owing to spontaneous combustion in the Chip bins at the di-— gester building of the Spruce Falls Co., at Kapuskasing, Ont., on ~ January 7th, two men lost their lives and considerable property damage was done. The citizens fought the flames for twelve hours in 46 ‘below zero weather. The new sulphite pulp plant of the com- pany, which had ‘been erected at a cost of millions of dollars had only been in operation about a month. The men who lost their lives were R. E. Doherty, of Ashland, Wis., superintendent of power, and William Shingo, of Oshkosh, Wis., expert acid maker. They had taken up their position on top of the chip bins and were fighting the flames when they were en-— gulped in a sea of flames and smoke. The remains showed that they had-died of asphyxiation. It was only through the good water- works system and the heroic efforts of citizens that the adjacent buildings of the company were saved. Operations will partially cease for some time until repairs are- completed. The output of the Spruce Falls Co., of which S. J. Sensenbrenner, of Neenah, Wis., is president, S. A. Mundy, vice-president and J.C. Kimberly, secretary, is 120 tons of sulphite pulp per day. Wayagamack Company Had Good Year The Wayagamack Pulp & Paper Co., whose plant is at Three — Rivers, Que., is now in a comfortable working position and during — the past year good profits were shown, according to the annual re- port which was presented at a meeting held in Montreal recently. — The report shows a net improvement of more than half a million dollars’ profits over the preceding year. The profit for the period under review having been $373,030 as compared with an operating loss of $156,712 during the 1921 period. A striking feature of the statement is the transformation in the company’s balance sheet brought about chiefly through giving effect to the $1,374,500 bond — extent of | issue of last spring, this resulting in betterment to the over 150 per cent. in working capital position. Provision for bond interest of $260.854 bond discount of $10,-— 000, depreciation of $160,000 and stumpage dues of $50,068 leaves a deficit for the year of $108,892, as compared with a deficit of $807,640 in the previous year, during which, however, dividends amounting to $150,000 were paid, and stumpage dues amounted to $120,928. Last year’s deficits brings the profit and loss balance down to $901,- 922, nearly a million less than at the end of 1920. The balance sheet portion of the exhibit shows the company to be in a much more comfortable working capital position than was the case the previous year. Loans secured by pulp wood and other Securities disappear in the 1922 report as do also bills payable on limits to the amount of $100,000 and another item of $200,000 re- presenting bills payable on limits secured by bonds. A loan of $600,- 000, which was secured by $1,000,000 of the company’s bonds, has also been eliminated. On the other hand the company is a borrower at the banks to the extent of $425,000; cash at $69,733 compared with $66,202. Accounts receivable are up from $679,872 to $856,901. An item of $23,777 representing investments. is wiped out, while in- ventories are down to $1,528,515, as compared with $2,797,906. 54 4 TORONTO 1% and 1% 8, 10 and 12 in.

Naturally one expects a falling off in orders about this period, but wholesalers state that in view of the time of the year, business is quite satisfactory. This applies to the purely local demand and also to that from across the border. Prices are on much the same level, with the outlook for a continuation of this condition for some time. Most wholesalers are of the opinion that we may look for a steady run of business for some months, but they deprecate any attempt to put up prices to such an extent as will curtail the demand. A Quebec manufacturer states that his costs this season have risen to a considerable extent and that the cut will have to fetch bet- ter prices than last year if he is to see a profit. While the open weather admitted of active camp operations, the small snowfall in the Eastern townships is interfering with hauling in that district. The hardwood market is looking up. Orders are good with quotations on the up-grade. Very little is doing in B. C. forest pro- ducts. For the time being, the demand has dropped away. The activity in building in Montreal during the past year is illustrated by the permit figures just issued. These do not tell the whole story, as they do not include the suburbs, where a very large amount of construction has been carried out; for instance in Out- remont the value was $2,750,000. and in Verdun $1,378,285. The total for Montreal for the year was $21,132,586., a decrease of $726,- 332. Beginning with April the monthly records amounted to over two million dollars. until October, in which month and also in No- vember, the total was about one million and three quarters. In De- cember the permits showed the large total of $2,011,940. It is esti- mated by the head of the city building inspection department that about $9,000,000. were spent in the construction of dwellings. The fall in the value of pulpwood as compared with about a year ago is shown by the latest export figures. During November the exports totalled 64,652 cords, valued at $650,974. compared with 49.476 cords valued at $614,974. in November 1921. For the eight months of the fiscal year the exports were 664,067 cords, of a value of $6,873,809., comparing with 518,067 cords and $6,749,433. in the cor- responding eight months. Ottawa Reports Prices Stiffening in Better Grades A further advance ranging from one to ten dollars per M.. mark- ed the Ottawa lumber market during the first part of the year. Coupled with it was an increase in orders from American yards and also an increase in the number of inquiries received. The new year to all appearances, with the exception of many embargoes at points in the U. S. started out right for the lumberman. The ady ance in prices affected nearly twenty. staple manufacturers’ grades of white pine. The heaviest advance was in good strips and good shorts which went up from five to ten dollars per thousand feet. The increased ienand from American yards and the general lowness of stocks, it was stated, were the principal factors for the advance. No. 2 cuts 2x8 and up good sidings, also took a jump of $10 per M. on manufacturers’ quotations. In all other grades the market remained absolutely firm and it was stated in several circles that further price advances might be looked for. Several firms reported that orders during the first part of the year were coming in freely from American yards and that there had pes a great number of inquiries. Such a condition, the local trade believed, showed that the American yards were depleted of stocks and were seeking to replenish for the spring trade. The chief demand was for the better grade stock. Res a ng future prices, the correspondent of the “Canada Lum- berman” was informed that it was generally known that prices were to be Asan ced by the manufacturers. Stocks in the hands of the manufacturers at present are fairly low and the majority of the stocks in the manufacturers’ yards are controlled by wholesalers. Another gratifying feature of the first two weeks of the year was the reports of se cay woodcamps showing that operations were well under way and the prospects of a large. cut were good. The weather so far has been very favorable to lumbering operations, though in some districts a little more snow would help some. ; The supply of woods’ labor was reported to be adequate, but there was no overplus. There were, aa rer, few reports of an ex- isting shortage of hapa in the camps. In the transportation arena shippers raised loud complaint and - in language not usually heard in Sunday School condemned embar- le ee wid Be. goes on American entry points, which repeatedly held up shipments calling for immediate delivery. i On one date, every entry point into the eastern states by which © a local firm wished to ship was tied up one hundred per cent with © embargoes, The embargoes have now mitigated against the export of stocks from the Ottawa Valley to the U.S. for the last two months, ~ and there is no means of telling when the present condition will be remedied. The placing of embargoes, it is generally believed, is due © to the movement of shipments of grain and coal. Foreign cars were . fairly plentiful. “= Conditions with the woodworking factories remained unchanged ~ e ; some of them being down for repairs and others of them operating — on a very limited scale, or manufacturing stock. During’ the second week of the year the action of the Provincial — Attorney General and the Golden Lake Lumber Co., which forms part of the O’Brien interests against Jno. R. Booth Ltd., commenced © before Justice ‘Middleton at the Court house. The action is to settle the principle as to what shall establish certain limit lines in the Nipis- sing district. 'W. N. Tilley, K. C.. acted as Chief counsel for J) R. Booth Ltd., and Mr. I. F. Hellmuth, K. C., for the Golden Lake Lumber Co. Pas St. John Interests Suffer Owing to Embargoes The last two weeks have seen very little lumber moving to the American market from St. John and nearby sections, largely caused by the embargo set against New Brunswick firms by the New Haven Railroad, and until this condition changes, very little will be shipped. Certainly the Boston & Maine and New Haven Railways are in an awful shape and the American nation should awaken to its responsibilities and take some real practical active interest in these roads and force the hands of the executives to do something better towards putting the systems in shape to haul the traffic handed over to any of them. Many times does it seem as if these roads do everything in their power to operate as carelessly as possible. Embargoes on lumber are as certain as the rainy days and come oftener. The worst featuré about this condition is that it affects the Eastern provinces more than any other railway embar- goes could do as they feed New England and New York and the surrounding territory, which is crying out for lumber. No immedi- ate relief is in sight and, in the meantime, lumber, which was sold long ago, is ready for shipment. As usual, when the American pur- chasers cannot get delivery, they cancel their purchases, having no compunction even though it is the fault of their own countrymen, so that to-day the Eastern provincial manufacturers realize just where they stand and have no intention of placing themselves in the same condition as in the past. A good deal of the rotary stocks being sawn this winter is find- ing its way to the British and Irish markets through St. John and Halifax. Prices remain steady in these markets, especially for Irish — deals and scantlings, and the feeling seems to be gaining that Jan- uary will see improved buying of 1923 cuts, for as yet the British importers have not made any forward purchases for 1923, evidently preferring to await just what remains to be seen. At the present time there is no reason for any operators to become panicky as the old stocks and also 1922 stocks are extremely - low. The heavy snow, which has now fallen all over New Bruns- wick, will slow up the operations very much and must cut many millions from the aggregate for next year’s sawing, All these things place the manufacturer of lumber in a better position than for many years past. . An impression seems to be abroad, both in the English and American markets, that the manufacturers ' of lumber are asking prices for their product for the coming season which will give them excessive profits. It is claimed that manufacturers are trying to recoup the losses made at one sweep. ‘This is positively not so and ~ unless the manufacturer is protected with a fair profit and helped ~ back to independence, the buyer and the brokers will certainly be ~ looking for goods with none to be found. All the risks have been taken by the manufacturer from log to sawn lumber, and at this date he cannot go ahead unless assured of a fair profit, and it is only a fair profit which he is asking. Logging costs have certainly been heavier than anticipated, wages have increased and the prices of supplies have also gone up, so that few operators will be able to — produce logs at the price figured on. .

Many operators as yet are heavily in debt with large interest accounts to carry. Others have been able to pay up, so when all is said and done, operators are now happier but poorer financially and going forward with the hope of better times, and they are slowly coming. Operating costs must be kept down, speculation must be elim- inated and the lumber business will certainly go forward to better times. Other commodities may be reduced in price but with the timberlands of this country, both American and Canadian, held by government and corporations, no reduction in stumpage can be looked for; in fact the prices of stumpages will, no doubt, be steady and higher. Operating costs will not be reduced and stocks are low everywhere. If business is only fair, a normal demand will be created and profitable prices will be obtained. Not as many logs have been put up as was artticipated, as a late start was made. Men also left the operations for Christmas and have stayed away longer than usual. The class of workmen is not as good as formerly, so taken all around, the reduction will be, at least, 10% below anticipation. Quebec Exporters Expect Big American Demand In a general talk with the lumber trade interests the Quebec correspondent of the “Canada Lumberman” has come to the con- clusion that, while there is a feeling of more optimism in the minds of the Quebec limit holders and exporters in regard to the demand in 1923 from the United Kingdom, they are not placing the depend- ence on such a demand, but on the business in prospect with the Canadian and United States markets. There is no question but that the stocks are very light in Can- ada which accounts for increased operations this winter in the cut- ting of logs sufficient to meet all requirements in spruce and pine to supply the needs of Canada as well as the United States and the United Kingdom. Over fifty per cent. of the cut in logging, how- ever, will go into the manufacture of pulp and paper. The conservative-thinking lumbermen of Quebec and district of Quebec are disinclined to believe that lumber should further in- crease in price this coming year of 1923. They are of the opinion that should it go up, as is desired by a large section of the trade, it would have the effect of stopping buidling. Of course, it is ad- mitted that wood cannot be sold for the same price obtained in 1920 and 1921, which netted no profit, but there is a feeling that if the quotations were to ascend much higher than they are at present, the investor in building would stop the operations he has at present in mind. This is a matter that will be fully and seriously discussed at the meeting of the lumbermen to be held at Montreal during the closing week of January. The advices received by the Quebec export firms> up to Christ- mas from their British agents, report that the business in the first week of December was quiet and uneventful in the timber trade, that the market was very sensitive and that buyers, finding it easy to procure what they wanted from the Scandinavin sellers, had be- come suspicious of prices and were making purchases on a small scale, and that the feeling of confidence noticeable in October, had ceased to prevail. Importers were not pushing the sale ot their stocks and had become patient until a demand would warrant an advance in their quotations. The trade returns for November were not as good as had been hoped and go to show that expectations for the ‘future must be considered in moderation. It is the general belief of the British agents for Quebec firms that the prospects of a growing trade in the United Kingdom for 1923 are good, but ev erything will depend upon prices, and should there be any material increase in the value of wood, the prospects may be spoiled before they become realities. The London Building Guild has overcome its financial difficulties, which had greatly re- tarded progress in structural operations, and arrangements have been made to allow the Guild to continue functioning on delayed existing contracts, which will have a good effect. The United Kingdom railroads are getting ready to carry on vast repairs, likewise the docks at the various British ports, which will call for lumber and give employment to brighten the situation. In this regard the Cana- dian trade will have to consider the Finnish and Swedish competi- tion, and later the Russian sale of its forest products, and unless the steamship companies come down in the ocean freight rates, Canadian lumber exporters will continue to be handicapped. In regard to the steamship companies and _ their high freight fates on Canadian lumber, these concerns seem to remain obdurate in their determination to make no favorable concessions to the Can- adian shipping trade interests, eae that the cost of operation and overhead charges on all ships have been considerably reduced. Discussing this question with W. Gerard Power, presi- dent of the Quebec firm of W. & J. Sharples, Limited, who recently ‘the biggest logging cut within the past ten years, as well as to re-— returned from England, he said while it was quite true that the com- panies, have refused to come down in their ocean rates on Canadi freight, he is of the opinion that they will be forced to make a re- duction or operate their ships with very little Canadian cargo from Canadian ports to Great Britain ports. He said that he expected to see an automatic reduction in freight rates, the same as exists we passenger traffic. With all these facts in mind the Canadian lumber trade is ail vised by the Quebec interests to place more dependence on the home and American markets. Every Quebec firm is fully booked with orders from the United States, which they are unable to fill o to the embargo against Canadian freight on the American lines. difficulty does not now rest with a shortage of cars. ‘There is present, and was during the entire month of December, an amp supply of railway freight cars to move all shipments _ of Canadias wood from the mills to the U.S. purchasers, and the same can b said of pulpwood ordered from the district of Quebec by Amer paper mills, which is held up by the embargo against Cana z freight movement. It is thought in Quebec that this embargo is” due to the congestion of the American lines by the movement of coal and Canadian wheat which has the preference from the Cana- dian West and deviated to the American seaports for export ship- — ment. Quebec lumbermen with their limit holdings and mill faeces al are extremely sanguine of a big business with the United States market this coming spring and summer. Besides the present order © bookings, they have every encouragement from their American agents, which has caused them to feel independent of the United- Kingdom situation for the year 1923 unless they receive prices for their wood that will yield them a profit. It is in keeping with these optimistic prospects in a demand for lumber and paper, which has inspired the large operations in progress in the woods this winter, plenish the stocks in their yards which have become almost depleted. —— - —_—__., ~ Production in Onitare Will be Very ‘Lome General market conditions in the lumber line are still rather quiet as retailers have been busy taking inventories. The holiday — season is now about over, with members of the staffs of different concerns holding conferences and canvassing the outlook for next year. It is generally agreed that prospects are much brighter for a 1 larger turnover in 1923 than they have been for sofme months. Prices are remaining firm, logging production is much larger, stocks — are lower and badly broken in the better grades and wider widths, © and the building boom is likely to continue in the larger centres. January generally is a seasonably speaceful period and not many sales are made. There is, however, a good undertone of feeling and — a basic confidence which engenders the belief that 1923 should be a year that, in every respect, will be large in volume. It is felt that prices ‘will strengthen in several woods until the new cut comes on the market. No one, however, wants to see runaway quotations or any decided shortage because the resultant reaction — is more basic than one generally supposes. So far as. the demand for western stock is Me ne this is rather quiet at present and some of the mills are out of the mar- ket for a short time owing to stocks being very low, ad other B.C. plants closing down for repairs. Shingles have increased slightly and will likely get stronger as spring approaches. In the meantime, a large number of wholesalers and mantfac- turers are preparing to attend the annual convention of the Cana-— dian Lumbermen’s Association which will be held in Montreal on — January 24th and 25th. Retailers will go to the Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ gathering which will convene in Windsor, Ont., on the same dates. Some regret that they will not*be able to be present at both assemblies owing to the conflicting dates and the in-— tervening distance. However, it is expected that confidences» will be freely exchanged and the trade prospects thoroughly gone into for the coming year. Prices of spruce are strengthening all the while and it is re- ported that the cut in the East will be the largest ever known. There are more inquiries for stocks of various kinds of lumber just now than there have been for some weeks. This is regarded as aa indication that trade will begin to move much earlier than usual, that the volume will be heavier and prices firm. Automobile concerns are now buying considerable quantities of hardwoods for bodies. Just how great will be the furniture industry will not be known until after the exhibitions which are being held in Stratford, Kitchener and Toronto during the present month. The producers will be meeting dealers from all parts of Canada, and a better line up of this business can be obtained toward the end of January than at the time of writing. In the meantime, all quota- tions are holding their own althous hardwood men say that 1€ D a | = i = Ls iy a as Z gf gi: + ne < eo azz . mi specifications for length and ‘widths. 62 CANADA LUMBERMAN oat Ne See low ends of birch and maple are far too cheap and should be com- manding more money. One manufacturer stated this week that retailers have not been passing on the price to the public the same as they should and had been trying to beat down millmen so that there was no actual money in selling stock at the figure offered which did not cover operating expenses in some cases. He contended that in the lumber arena to-day the manufacturer of hardwoods was the fellow who was making the least profit and working the hardest for his returns. On the whole, however, while complaints are heard here and there about certain features of the trade, the embargoes at various points are being removed and also the scarcity of cars. Shipments are now going forth to the other side in larger quantities than has been the case for several weeks, Some Ontario firms are also thinking seriously of looking into the export business but any decisive step in that direction will have to be determined after the result of the present European conference is known. Mr Bick Speaks of Overseas Markets who was formerly with the Bennett Lumber Com- has returned to Canada after being in the Baltic a year. He is now on a business trip to the United Mr. S., Bick, pany, Limited, States for about States. In an interview with a representative of the “Canada Lumber- man” Mr. Bick gave some interesting details as to the Baltic lumber trade and the competition of wood from those*states with Canadian wood in the U. K. markets. He resided in Riga for several months, establishing a business of exporting Baltic woods to the European Continent. The chief market is England, but Belgium and France take large quantities. Prior to the war about 250,000 standards per annum were shipped from Riga. The chief woods are white wood S. Bick, Montreal, P.Q. and red wood, which correspond especially to Canadian spruce and pine. The lumber business from the Baltic is growing. Ri iga and the Latvien ports shipped last year about 40,000 standards and this year the output will be about 100,000 standards. Riga, Revel, Memel and Dantoig play a prominent part in the export of wood, the last named being the outlet for the Polish Check. Slovaki and Lithuanian lumber. The port of Dantoig last year shipped in the neighborhood of 100,000 standards and will undoubtedly continually increase this in 1923. “While the white wood coming from the Baltic States is similar in texture and quality to Canadian spruce it has an advantage in the It is very easy for Baltic ship- pers to make deals 16 and 17 feet average and these are practically no scantlings. Seven inches is the narrowest size in 3 in. thickness. The chief competition with Canadian lumber comes from the Baltic, both as to size and price. Baltic shippers can sell 3 x 7 and 3 x 8 at £15 10s. per standard c.i.f. English ports and make a good profit, which wood is being used for exactly the same purposes as Canadian spruce. this price as it would mean that these sizes would net about 25 dol- lars free on board vessel or about twenty dollars f.o.b, mill. The same observation applies to 9 and 11 inches, which are about £3 higher than the 7 and 8 inches. Baltic shippers have also the ad- In my opinion Canadian exporters cannot ‘possibly sell at’ vantage of lower ocean freight rates and are able to na ehnee much | cheaper than Canadian mills owing to the cheapness of labor eo the low rate of exchange.. W< “Conditions in the Tpke are eeadaally improving and the market — is absorbing all the stock the Baltic States can supply; in fact I could have sold ten times as much as I was able to secure, = Uheas result is a stiffening of prices in the Baltic States and if the Cana-— dian ocean rates, (which, are today £2 higher than from Baltic ports) could be reduced and the Canadian mills could see their way to sell on a lower basis, there would be a much better chance for Canadian — } spruce—during the present year, ‘because of the larger demand and firmer market on the other side. This is especially true as to de- mand in the North of England and Irish ports, where Canadian spruce will fetch £1 a standard more than Baltic white wood. : “Russian wood is going into England very heavily, and the pro-_ duction is larger each year. I do not think Archangel will be in — competition with Canadian spruce as it is used chiefly for joinery — work, whereas Canadian spruce is used mainly for box making and _ building purposes. Archangel wood will be in competition with © Canadian white pine, which is used for the same ‘purposes as the = Archangel wood. ae a have just come from England where business prospects are much better than for the past three years. The demand for lumber is satisfactory, and prices are firm. If only the European situation © would clear up, I am confident that the lumber industry there, could look forward to a prosperous year.’ ) ; Better Spruce Prospects for Present Year The much firmer tendency of the market for redwood, and the — effect which this is having, and is expected to have, on whitewood, is raising the hopes of Canadian shippers who anticipate a stronger demand in Great Britain next season, says the Lumber Trade Journal, of London, England. Latterly the prices for good spruce — have risen, especially from Quebec deals and for, 3 x 7 in. and3 x 8in, Although Central European whitewood may be had much cheaper, good spruce is always preferred, and provided the difference is not too great, importers will have the latter article. Moreover, a cer-_ tain quantity of good whitewood is needed, and if the Scandinavian a shippers succeed, as they hope to do, in advancing their prices both — of redwood and whitewood, the effect will soon be felt in the spruce — market. This last season the consumption of spruce in ‘Canada it-_ self and the export to the States enabled the producers to do pretty — well, but towards the end of the season more spruce came over to B Great Britain, and the market has been rather stronger. The © volume of spruce imports depends so much on a comparison between the prices for spruce and those for Swedish and Finnish white that — the Canadian shippers are naturally watching the European markets very closely. The high Atlantic freights have been a handicap this — year, the difference between these rates and those accepted from — Sweden and Finland being above the normal. ~. Quebec Expects Million From Timber Sales The development of the North Shore and the exploitation of immense timber limits is expected to result from the sale by auction of permits to cut timber on an area of 2,000 square miles, which is © to take place in Quebec on January 30th. ‘The limits affected are — located in the basin of the Manicouagan River and adjoin those of the Ontario Pulp and Paper Company and the English Bay Com- — pany. The sale is likely to bring to the Government over $1 ,000,000. — Among the conditions are some regarding the utilization of the pow- — ers of the Outarde River, which must provide 15,000 horse power within seven years. Conditions will also be contained in the deed © by which a pulp and paper mill must be erected there. This sale — which is one of the largest ever held in the Province means that a decisive attempt will be made by the Government to open up that — region to forestry exploitation. This sale should also compensate — for the decrease in the returns of the Department of Lands and Forests for the year ending June 30th, 1922, which have been greatly affected during the past year. “ae Vancouver Timber Film Shown Abroad Many phases of the timber industry are now represented on ~ the cinema, and one of the most interesting series we have seen is produced and shown by the Gaumont Company, Ltd., of London ~ and Liverpool,-says the Timber Trades Journal, of London, England. This is a comprehensive picture depicting the daily life of the lum- berjacks in the forests of Vancouver Island. It is shown that thew romantic age of the axe is past, and that the huge trees are now — felled with a saw. “Snaking them out” is the local term for haul- ing the huge logs out of the forest by machinery and inanspor ee them down to the river or the storage ponds at the mills.

Whitby recently carried a by-law to grant certain concessions to Samuel Jeffrey & Son, wholesale harness manufacturers, of Ports Perry, who will remove their plant from that town to Whitby. The Kellys, of Bridgenorth, Ont., who have long been associated ~ with the lumber business, recently bought out the Peterboro Fuel & Transfer Co., in Peterboro, and are very busy at the present time. 1D).

Poisson, Ford, Ont., formerly Mayor of that town, was des feated in the recent contest for the civic chair by Eugene "Reaume. Mr. Poisson has for some years been in the retail lumber business in Ford and has built up a large trade. The Lakefield Lumber Co., of Lakefield, Ont., (with which the late John Duignan was associated), are operating through jobbers © on their limits and expect to have a larger cut than usual during the coming season at their well-equipped mill. 4 While operating a rotary saw in Hicks & Company’s mill at Dal- — housie Junction, N. B., A. Beakingham died recently. He had served _ overseas for three years. Beakingham’s death was caused by a piece of wood flying up from the saw and striking him. Buildings permits of $35,244,278 ageregate value were issued by the City Architect’s Department for the year 1922 in Toronto, con- — stituting a new record. This total is $11,366,038 greater than in 1921 and $7,842,517 in excess of the total for the previous record year of 1912. Mrs: Blackburn, widow of the late Robert Blackburn of tied Hawkesbury Lumber Co., who was a prominent financier and lum-_ berman of Ottawa, died recently. The remains of Mrs. Blackburn were. interred in Beechwood pa aS and the obsequies largely at-_ tended. Some time ago on account a frozen booming grounds the Cana-_ dian Western Company’s plant at Fraser Mills, B. C., was forced © to close down for a few days. Work, however, was resumed lately and the employees were working overtime in order to catch up with production. There was heard in the courts at Ottawa recently a long-stand- ing dispute regarding the boundary of timber limits in the Nipissing district, some of which are owned by the Golden Lake Lumber Co., which forms part of the M. J. O’Brien interests, against John Rv Booth, of Ottawa. Substantial additions and alterations are being made to the plant of Thurston-Flavelle, Limited, at Port Moody, B. C. It is expected that production will be increased by about 25 per cent. The old roof has been torn off and a new one put on while the mill has been The Summerland Lumber Co., Miréola, B.C., are preparing plans for the erection of a $4,000 box factory at Summerland, B.C. — At present the company are operating at Mineola, but will move their small plant and equipment to Summerland when the 1 building is completed. a F. S. Pearce, of the Pearce Company, Marmora, Ont., was in Toronto recently on business and reports that the outlook in the | hardwood market is greatly improving. More inquiries are being et received and it is believed that the demand will be very steady with prices tending to strengthen considerably. It is believed that 1923 will be the biggest shipping year in the @umber industry in British Columbia and many charters have been _ fixed. The Norwegian steamer “Hallgyn,” was recently at New Westminster taking on a record from that district of 3,500,000 feet of lumber. She is believed to be the largest vessel that was ever up the Fraser River. ] L. L. Brown, B. C. Lumber Commissioner for Eastern Canada, who has been spending several months in the Pacific Coast province on business connected with his department, arrived in Toronto re- cently. He reports that the outlook for the lumber industry in the West is bright and that all the mills are looking forward to a _ steady, growing demand from the United States and the Orient. Among the by-laws voted upon recently in Meaford was one granting exemption of texas for five years to the Meaford Mfg. Co., + and another to guarantee bonds for $20,000. for the Knight Mfg. Co. The first measure was carried by 111 votes but was defeated by 51 on the two-third requirements. The latter was carried by 173 votes _ but was defeated on a two-third vote of the property-holders by 12. g A. D. F. Campbell, of A. F. Campbell & Son, retail lumber deal- ers, Arnprior, Ont., was re-elected as councillor for that progressive _ town at the recent elections. Out of seven candidates he received the _ highest vote at every poll with a total margin of 66 over his next com- _ petitor. This makes Mr. Campbell’s third year as a civic father. His pe record is one that has been marked by ability and faithful- ness. : Sg s The many friends of H. J. Terry, president of Terry & Gordon, _ Limited, Toronto, and retiring chairman of the Wholesale Lumber - Dealers’ Association, Inc., will sympathize with him in the death of his mother, Mrs. Edward Terry, who passed away on January 3rd as her 83rd year. The remains were interred in Mount Pleasant Cemetery. Mrs. Terry was one of the oldest and most highly re- _spected residents of Toronto. Many friends among the retail lumbermen will regret to learn _ that John Ferguson, Mayor of North Bay, Ont., for a number of _ years, was defeated in the recent election. Mr. Ferguson will always _ be held in kindly regard by the members of the O.R.L.D.A., who in _ 1920 took a trip up north and were splendidly welcomed by the lum- bermen of that district, Mayor Ferguson was most active in enter- _ taining the visitors during their stay in the railway town. é Ald. S. L. Lambert, retail lumberman, who for some years has _ been a member of the city council of Welland, Ont., was a candidate _ for the Mayorallty in the recent election but was defeated. He will, no doubt, come up smiling again next year for there are few men in “city as" who have done as much for the material prosperity of the city as “Sam.” Lambert who built a fine new hotel, opera house and _ other public buildings and has erected hundreds of homes to improve _ the beauty and attractiveness of that industrial centre. ‘The many friends of Frank J. Carew, of the John Carew Lumber BCo., Lindsay, Ont., will congratulate him on his elevation to the _ position of chief magistrate of that town. He won a signal victory it the polls and during his years of service in the council has done ‘much to advance the welfare and prosperity of Lindsay. Mr. Carew _ is one of the most popular young lumbermen in the province but finds opportunity to devote considerable time and talent to the up- _ building of the community in which he has been a life-long resident. _ He is a son of John Carew, ex M. L. A., Lindsay. ___The contractors who are building the extension of the T. & N. 0. Railway northward from Cochrane, Ont., have caught-up their schedule. The contract was let during the second week in February last, and the steel is now in place for a distance of 42 miles, the full - distance specified for the current year. In addition to this, about “pected to find the T. & N.

An important announcement is made in newsprint circles which ms that Price Bros. & Co., of Quebec, will triple their present duct.

If you use ‘‘Goodhue”’ Belts”’ in your mill or factory you can save most of this money because “Goodhue Belts” stretch less by 15 to 25 per cent. than any other belt. They are made from skillfully selected hides with the stretch taken out of each section before it is made up into the belt. According to the conditions under which the belt is to run, we recom- mend ‘‘Hixtra,’’ ‘“‘Standard”’ or ‘‘ Acme Waterproof”’ belts.

The name has come to be synonymous in the lumber industry with all that is best in ma- chinery. ‘‘Long’’ Band Mills are no — exception for they combine all the lat- est features with exceptional strength andaccessibility. The unusually heavy bed consists of one solid casting entire- ly surrounding the machine. All bearings are adjustable longitudinally, laterally and vertically. They are chain-oiling, water-cooled and are all the same size and interchangeable. Quick installation is another desirable feature of the “Long” Band Mill. The columns, which are of very heavy hollow box section, and of unit con- struction, are mounted directly on the base cast- ing. They are held in place by bolts and dowel pins and enclose the lifting screws and operating gears. The bottom is accurately planed. .If you haven’t our catalogue of mill equipment on file, you should write for it today. It will be gladly sent on request. The E.

Judging from available data, the average life of the ordinary steel wire nail, which has been in such common use, is only from seven to twelve years. Some wire nails will last longer, depending upon the condition of exposure, climate and similar features, but considering our climate as a whole, at the end of from seven to twelve years a large percentage of wire nails will have rusted either completely through or so extensively that the first strong wind will complete the work. The shingles that have been held in position by such nails are then free to work down, permitting rains or melting snows to leak through and damage the interior of the structure. Examination will disclose that the fibre of the shingle itself is still in perfect condition, and a leaky roof, in the majority of occasions is due entirely to the use of faulty nails, but the average home owner, placed at such inconvenience, will not stop to reason this out and the poor wooden shingle comes in for more unjust abuse. There are several kinds of nails which experience has proven will give lasting satisfaction, and the wise dealer will advise his customers of these satisfactory nails. A pure zine shingle nail meets all the demands of durability required. Its principal drawback is its high cost and 2 slight tendency to bend under careless driving. Galvanized wire nails theoretically are rust proof, and if the galvanized coating is properly applied, and of sufficient thickness, such a nail will last as long as the shingle it holds in place. The life of this shingle roof, properly applied with these nails then is from 40 to 50 years. Pure iron nails, or the old cut or wrought nails are ideal but difficult to secure. Copper nails also constitute a perfect shingle nail. Timms Phillips & Co., Ltd. | Vancouver Lumber Co., Ltd.

Preisch, of the Haines Lumber Co., North Tonawanda, N.Y., and former presi- dent of the National Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association, presented a strong in- vitation, on behalf of the Buffalo Chamber of Commerce, the Buffalo Lumber FEx- change and the White Pine Association, of - North Tonawanda, N.Y., for the Canadian lumber parliament to assemble in the Bison City in January 1924. The greetings from these institutions were of the most cordial nature, and it was pointed out that the Canadian Lumbermen’s Association was international in character, having a large membership on the other side of the line. At the 1922 session in Toronto the C.L. A. in honor of its American friends and the support they had always given the Asso- ciation, elected two directors from over the border in the persons of Spencer Kellogg, of Chas. C. Kellogg & Sons Co., Utica, N.Y.,.and R. E- Stocking; of Power, Moir Que. Newly Elected Second Vice-President David Champoux, Restigouche, 40 & Stocking, Inc., New York City. Both of these gentlemen and a large number of guests from Buffalo, Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Rochester, Detroit and other points were in attendance at the Montreal convention. Among the visitors of note were Frank F. Fish, secy-treas. of the National Hard- W. B. Snowball, Chatham, N.B. Re-elected Director wood Lumber Association, Chicago, and Ben. C. Currie, of Philadelphia, vice-presi- dent of that organization, and W. W. Schupner, of New York, secretary of the National Wholesale Lumber Dealers Asso- ciation and many others. ‘The national lum- ber bodies of America have paid a compli- ment to Canada in the past in electing Can- adian directors on their boards, and this courtesy has been reciprocated, as already stated, by the Canadian Lumbermen’s As- sociation. Now the latter body has, out of respect and appreciation to its many friends and members in the United States, unanimously decided to foregather in Buffalo, N.Y. a year from now. Mr. Preisch presented the invitation in a neat speech, and President Clark warmly thank- ed him for the kindly tone of the ines- sages which he conveyed. The hospitality of the Montreal lum- bermen was unbounded and the entertain- ment provided was on a scale that won hearty approval on all sides. The Men’s Luncheon in the La Salle Doree, of the < Walter M. Ross, Ottawa, Ont. Newly-Elected Director CANADA LUMBERMAN Mount Royal Hotel, on Wednesday at noon, was attended by about 400 lumber- men, while the grand ball in the banquet hall on the same evening attracted about 700 guests. There was ample provision made for the ladies from shopping tours to tobogganing, including sleigh drives and theatre parties. George W. Grier and Brig.-Gen. White were joint chairmen of the Entertainment Committee. They were ably assisted by members of the Whole- sale Lumber Dealers’ Association, of Mon- treal, and the Montreal Lumbermen’s As- sociation. Membership and Fees Increase Another important matter was that the membership of the C.L.A. has increased to over 200, several joining during the session. It was decided to raise the an- nual fee to $80,00, which will include all services in each department. Heretofore the subscription fee has been $50.00 with an additional levy of $20.00, for the ser- vice of the transportation branch. A pro- posal to make the fee $100.00 was not car- ried, and the recommendation of the direct- ors that the figure be $80.00 was adopted by a large majority. Many important resolutions were car- ried on a number of practical topics, re- lating to the weal and progress of the in- dustry. These will be found in another column of the “Canada Lumberman” and Arthur H. Campbell, Montreal Re-elected Director present in succinct shape the result of the two days’ deliberations. at the Mount Royal Hotel, which was crowded from the main foyer to the top storey; V. G, Cardy, manager of the hotel and his staff extend- ing a cordial welcome to all. This year’s conclave of the Canadian Lumbermen’s Association was attended by over 500 delegates, including ladies, and the proceedings passed off pleasantly and profitably under the able guidance of presi- dent A. E. Clark, of Toronto. The formal agenda in the shape of reports, statements, etc., was quickly disposed of and the after- noon session of the first day, Wednesday January 24th, and the whole of Thursday January 25th were given over to timely and terse discussions on trade conditions, market outlook, export situation, forest conservation, woods activities, freight rates, workmen’s compensation act, exten- sion of trade and other topics. At no time did the discussion lag and the talks were pithy and comprehensive. The keynote of the whole convention was one of optimism and encouragement. A warning signal was hoisted by all the speakers against a runaway market, such as characterized the lumber trade in the earlv part of 1920. It was emphasized that the aftermath was too drastic and pro- longed to desire a repetition of such an experience. A good, fair profit and stabil- Rufus E. Dickie, Stewiacke, N.B. | Re-elected Director ization of the market were the sentiments heard on all sides, together with a desire for greater economy in management and operation and higher efficiency in service and distribution, All the speeches were of a broad, toler- ant character and evidenced no thought of profiteering by reason of a shortage in any line of forest products. They demonstrated that, by co-operation of interest and unity of effort on the part of all branches of the industry, 1923 might show earnings that were honest and square. On all sides the call went out against the creation of specu- lative, inflated or an artificial~ state of affairs. Wholesalers and manufacturers be- lieve that 1923 should be a year of normal demand and steady turnover. There were other outstanding features of the convention, including greetings from Sir Keith Price, a widely known timber merchant of London, England, who, while admitting that the European situation was alarming, still said that trade conditions were getting better in the Old Country and merchants were more cheerful.

Bock, Montreal Newly-Elected Director Aelia = shee i are ea a AS og si shes a et Le te, a A 4 a ; -— . oe — 7”: ! f! * te we ta — * Aone ra yee aa gl Freight Rates Still too High Whereas the railroads in both the United States and Canada are still being managed in an expensive and cost- ly manner with practically no-reduction being-madeim- their ing—-costs,.and whereas this condition makes it neces- sary for the railways to continue charging high freight rates to cover these excessive costs, and whereas practically all industries producing and manufacturing the goods being transported and paying these high freight rates have suc- ceeded in greatly reducing their costs of production and are giving the consumer the benefit on these reductions, and whereas many of these industries are obliged because of competition to sell their products with little or no profit owing to the hight cost of railway delivery. Be it resolved, that we, Canadian Lumbermen, in conven- tion, do instruct the officers of our Association to use due ‘diligence and employ all lawful means to impress upon tne proper authorities the necessity of having our railways re- duce their operating costs so that freight rates in Canada can be restored to the basis in existence September 1920. And further, that we, as individuals trading through or with American firms and shipping to the United States, do our utmost through these connections to bring about the same changes on the American railways so that our international traffic can be handled more cheaply. Workmen’s Compensation Has Many Defects Whereas Workmen’s Compensation for industrial ac- cidents has become a prohibitive charge on industry and, as at present constituted, is fundamentally unsound , and where- as this is due mainly to four causes,— . Charging full amount of accident to the year in which accident occurred, when payments in permanent disability and death cases are payable in from one to twenty years: Paying of all medical fees by the Board, advantage of which is taken by some unscrupulous doctors to encourage malingering by the workmen; The absence of the fundamental principle tien by the beneficiaries ; The injection of class representation into the personnel of the administrative Boards. Be is resolved, that the Canadian Lumibermen’s Associa- tion, in annual meeting, place its opinion on record that amendments should ‘be made to the Workmen’s Compensa- tion Acts in such provinces where its act is administered by administrative boards, correcting these defects so that the act may be made just and workable, and further; resolved that where inexcusable fault is proved on part of the em- ployee, the employer be not held responsible providing the employer has used his due diligence in providing all the necessary safeguards to protect employees. of contribu- Promoting Trade Within the Empire Whereas _ the Canadian Lumbermen’s Association is greatly interested in promoting trade within the Empire, be- lieving that commerce is one of the great cementing bonds and interpreters of mutual necessities and {interests, and whereas the forest products of Canada are a large factor in ress such trade and commerce, particularly within the United Kingdom, it is the sense of this Convention that all due con- sideration be given to the matter of publicity and informa- | tion that will promote a full understanding by the timber | trade and public generally within the United Kingdom of a= the local and governing conditions in Canada as affecting oe J * | Kingdom do not especially feature trade news, facts and ‘ ‘s the timber trade; and whereas the impression seems to be a _ justified that the various timber trade journals of the United commentaries in respect to traffic and interest in Canadian x woods in the United Kingdom; and whereas the reports in the same journals of trade operations and conditions in Can- _ ada are on the whole meagre and uninforming. Be Be it resolved that this Convention being desirous of accomplishing the largest possible measure of trade inter- course within the Empire, appeals to the timber trade papers . oe Sab” a ae ae” CANADA LUMBERMAN ~ Some Important Resolutions Adopted of the United Kingdom to give sympathetic intention to the collection in the United Kingdom of all-trade-news, of value; to especially give effect to a policy of actively featuring and emphasizing the use of Canadian woods and to promote a more comprehensive correspondence with interested parties in Canada that conditions here may be fully reported; also, that this Association through its officers will do everything in its power to supplement such efforts and to co-operate to the desired result; that the secretary be instructed to send a copy of this resolution to the “Timber Trade Journals” 8-11 Paternoster Row, London, E.C. “Timber,” 133 Middle- sex St. London, E.I., “Timber News” 84 Leadenhall St. London, E.C. 3, and to any other publications which in his judgment may be interested. Membership Fees are Increased Where as it is expedient, in order to give the members a satisfactory service that the income of the Association should be sufficient to pay the necessary operating costs, and whereas the financial statement for the year 1922 shows that the revenue was not sufficient to do this. and there is no good purpose served in regarding the Transportation Department asa separate entity from the Canadian Lumbermen’s As- sociation. Be it resolved that instead of the subscription fee being $50.00 only, plus an amount additional towards the main- tenance of the Transportation Department, the annual sub- scription should be made $80.00 which will include all ser- vices in each department except in the case of the checking of freight bills for which a further charge may be made based upon the nature of the service performed. Lumbermen Endorse Use of Oleomargarine Whereas oleomargarine is a “Canada Approved” food and is heathful, nutritious and palatable, and whereas oleo- margarine is manufactured daily and sold fresh is a sweet wholesome and economical food, and our experience proves that oleomargarine has excellent keeping qualities and is suitable for our purposes. and whereas the British Govern- ment recently made a thorough deitetic revision of the menu for the British Army and Navy and prescribed oleomargar- ine as the official spread for the bread. Be it resolved that the Board of Directors of the Cana- dian Lumbermen’s Association respectfully and earnestly urges the Right Honorable, the Prime Minister and members of the Dominion Government to enact permanent legislation pertaining to the manufacture and sale of oleomargarine in the Dominion of Canada so that the Canadian people will not be deprived of a heathful and nutritious food which is at present manufactured under the Inspection of the Do- minion Government. The Investigation of Roof Coverings Having heard the report of the Executive Committee in connection with the Special Committee, consisting of three Montreal professional men,:of which Prof. H. M. MacKay is chairman, appointed by the Dominion Government for the purpose of conducting a series of tests on roof coverings of all kinds. Be it resolved that the Canadian Lumbermen’s Associa- tion urge upon the Dominion Government at the coming ses- sion of parliament to provide in the estimates a sum suffi- cient to enable the Special Committee appointed for the pur- pose of conducting a series of tests and investigating the subject of roof coverings. And be it further resolved that copies of this resolution be mailed to the Right Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King, Prime Minister. Resolutions were also carried, thanking the members of the Montreal lumber trade for their hospitality ; the manager and staff of the Mount Royal Hotel for the able manner in which the delegates were looked after and also to the Buffalo Chamber of Commerce and the Buffalo Lumber Exchange for their invitation to meet in that city in 1924; to the trade and daily newspaper press for full reports given the pro- ceedings; to President Clark for the capable manner in which he presided, and to the Canadian Pacific and Canadian Na- tional Railways for the service given. 41 ., > wo Pee ee Ce 42 President A. E. Clark, of Tor- onto, in his annual address cov- ered several points of interest and importance. His remarks which were well received were as follows: Members of the Canadian Lumbermen’s Associa- tion and visiting lumbermen of Canada and United States,—it affords me great pleasure to wel- come you in such numbers to our Annual Convention. It is, indeed, gratifying to see such a large registration and to see numbered among them so many of our friends from the U.S.A: We feel our Association is rapid- ly assuming an _ international character. Whether we can claim all credit to our Associa- tion for the large attendance or whether Montreal’s many attrac- tions have been an added charm, at any rate we welcome you and A. E. Clark, Toronto, Ont. Retiring President of C.L.A. hope that you will-attend all of our sessions in goodly numbers and with profit to yourselves. It is a source of pleasure to your board that in the New Mount Royal Hotel you find the last word in modern hotel equipment, lending every facility to perfect entertainment and enjoyment. The programme of social entertainment offered us by the Montreal Lumber Trade should leave nothing to tbe desired either by the ladies or the gentlemen and I am sure that when you have partaken of all these social feasts you will all feel, as I already well know, that Montreal lumbermen are royal hosts? Our pro- gramme for the different sessions of this Convention differs material- ly from previous conventions and may almost be called unique. I sincerely hope you will join freely and ‘heartily in full discussions at all these sessions and assure our Convention’s success. As your presiding officer for the past year, I simply wish to review very briefly, the work of the Association for this term. Two years ago your board decided upon opening up a Transportation De- partment. The preliminary work necessary to the establishment of this Department was completed and the bureau in May 1921, under the management of Mr. R. L. Sargant. The report to be presented today in no way sets forth all the accomplishments of this Depart- ment. Mr. Sargant has been a hard working, painstaking, efficient officer in his efforts in your behalf. During the past year and a half he has been constantly before the Railway Commission and the Government seeking reductions in the excessive rates charged on lumber movements and has had some measure of success. Making Political Issue of Freight Rates I honestly believe that had the present. Government not lifted these questions out of the hands of the Railway Commission and thrown them to some considerable extent into the political field, we -. lumbermen of ‘Canada would long before this, have received our de- served reductions in freight rates. Mr. Sargant has been successful in assisting the Eastern lumbermen to adjust many of their difficul- ties with the Railway Comganies. His efforts, in assisting all of us during the trying times of last few months in fighting embargoes and car shortages, are | am sure appreciated, and I know that the programme he is working on at the present time, when carried to its successful issue, will cause you to have still further praise for his work. To those of our members who cannot yet see the advan- tage of the Transportation Department, may I say there can be but one cause—you are not using it. Our Association now enjoys the confidence of the Railway officials and we can work together in iron- ing out many of our troubles. I believe we will soon be at the hap- py place where we will have no occasion to call in the Railway Com- mission in settling our differences except in some extreme matters. Suggests Graduated Membership Fees During the trying times of the past two years, we have more than held our own in membership. The Association, however, is more or less restricted in its facilities for carrying on a complete work through its lack of finances. Our membership is not nearly what it should be.. We have a great proportion of the large opera- tors and wholesalers but there are vast numbers who do not belong. This Association is working for the general benefit of all lumbermen ’ - CANADA LUMBERMAN | SU RR ee ee y LS wel att i _— ¥ f 3 ‘ Ve eee Ms wh aes ae > Ru = and should have the support of all. I believe we should ondeatem to secure every lumberman.be his business large or small, as a mem- ber. The necessity may arise for the introduction of graduated mem- bership fees which I know is a hard problem to work out. Never: theless, the lumbermen of this country must stand united for their own self preservation. As it now stands we are attacked in our legitimate trade by the introduction of all kinds of foolish substi t tutes for our materials. Shingle camouflages, insurance attacks, Government attacks and still we stand apart. I make a plea for a larger Association with greater fields of usefulness and activi Let us get the start to this end during this ‘meeting. “to _ During the war and ever since, nearly every business institu has been legislated to death. The committee in charge of legisla has been ably assisted by our hard working secretary, Mr. Fr Hawkins, and truly Associations are seldom blest with more effic officers than we have on our staff. The report of this Commi will not be voluminous, although they have had a great. deal of pro- vincial and federal legislation to watch and endeavor to check. ct. my own district, the Province of Ontario, some of our men in Goy- ernment seats have sought to achieve political fame Bs prosecution Ge and persecution of the lumibernen: : 4 Censures Course of Ontario Government — It is the duty of this Association to assist and protect every one of its members who conducts his business in an honest and up- right manner. We, as lumbermen, have always prided ourselves on belonging to an industry which did in the early days much of the pioneer work of this fair Dominion and which is still one of the greatest labor distributing industries of the Dominion. We, there= fore, feel that it ill becomes members : the Ontario Government to seek political gain through trying to defame men in this industry, in juring their credit with our findncial institutions and slowing up! one of Ontario’s finest andMargest industries. It were ibetter far | were they to work in conjunction with the men who are seeking to market our vast wealth, and continue to keep our Province in the foreground of the lumber industry. I am glad to say that in the other provinces the crown officers have worked with us to the mutual benefit of the government and the lumbermen of the different pig vinces. Early in 1920 the lumber industry, along with nearly all othell industries, suffered severe reverses. Not until late on in 1922 did we again begin to see fair weather ahead. During this two yea period, we have suffered some business casualties but on the whole the lumber industry has stood up well under the terrible financial ‘ depression. The year 1923 looms up before us with the brightest) prospects we have had to face for many a day. Of course, we have | not a completely clear sky but I honestly believe the exercise of: good ‘business judgment should bring every lumberman through] this next year with a nice margin on the right side of the ledger. ~ No Boom Year But Good Business - I cannot see a boom year. Canada and the United States < are both very much interested in agriculture and have just harvested a wonderful crop. The farmer is one of our biggest customers but, unfortunately, he is not receiving an adequate return for his pro- ducts and, not having money, cannot proceed as rapidly as we could hope. We are also naturally large exporters of lumber. The Euro- pean situations are not yet such that we can view these peoples as immediate large buyers of our goods. We have every reason to hope that the export trade to the United States will be large and any little fancied tariff differences can be easily straighten out by | statesmen. Many people question us on matters which take us pape to pre- war conditions. Those, who are interested in lumbering realize the futility of trying to put the business back on a pre-war (basis. a do not know of any industry which has made greater effort throu trimming sail, cleaning house, reducing inventories and over to get his business down on a sane businesslike level. Howev have also uncontrollable charges. We cannot overcome the terri burdens of sales taxes, exhorbitant stamp taxes, receipt taxes an federal and local income taxes. Our profits are acquired from ee volume turnovers and these taxes strike very heavily as a result. has always been the desire of operating lumbermen to have tt men well cared for. ~ Workmen’s Compensation Cost Too Great The methods of administering our Workmen’s Compensation Acts in most of the Provinces have gotten to the point where th are a serious buen to the lumbermen apd Seid ‘where they “TR Mii aa = at a Ae ane ala a ee eS Ag Pee ies . ing such vasts sums of money, have more attention from our ent Provincial Governments, as lumbermen feel the cost is far eater under Government operation than were these matters left our own hands. Rumor now speaks of a new tax in the form of employment Insurance, which has already proven to be a most uitous tax in Great Britain. Our Association, gentlemen, having ne its own housecleaning, should now, through its members, ad- vise the Governments that the war is over and that we should like a little sane legislation, a little less reckless expenditure of money and that our business is groaning under its burden of taxation. _ Daring the past fall season the cost of manufacturing has again mounted high owing to our labor shortages. Canada is now seri- in need of a good sane immigration policy which will secure us an influx of good citizens. If we do not get a materially in- ae > This report was presented and in part was as follows: As everybody will no doubt be fully aware, the United States Government, through Mr. Sec- retary Hoover, has made consid- ‘erable progress in ‘connection with this matter so far as the United States is concerned. It would seem to be proper to sug- gest that this question should re- ceive very careful consideration and discussion during your de- liberations today and to-morrow It should be pointed out, how- ever, that this standardization is not merely being applied in the United States to lumber but a number of other industries, namely, paving brick, beds, mat- tresses and springs, and metal lath have all been the subject of standardization either by Secret- x ary Hoover’s division of simpli- practice, or otherwise. ‘Attention is drawn to the fact that North Eastern Retail Lumbermen’s Association has quoted a olution urging that Canadian manufacturers get together and join the general plan of establishing “Uniform grading rules and a rough system of lumber inspection similar to that offered by the erican Associations of: Lumber Manufacturers.” In order that a ussion may be heard upon this matter, it is suggested that some ber offer a resolution and submit same to the Resolution ‘Com- immediately so that the matter may be dealt with. MARGARINE—The efforts of your Executive have been de- to keeping this product available for use in lumber camps. We had considerable correspondence and interviews with the ex- in the packing industry with a view to having legislation in- ed whereby the manufacture, sale and importation of oleo- margarine may be legally continued. WOOD SHINGLES.—Our secretary was instructed to attend . me ting which was called October 27th, 1922, by Prof. H. W. Mac- chairman of the Special Committee, appointed by the Dominion ‘nment to investigate and report upon roof coverings of all _ The purpose of the meeting was to get the views as to the lity of using the Chicago Board of Tests or otherwise going ‘expense of erecting a test plant in Canada for this purpose cretary in conjunction with Mr, A.

It will be siderable length of time before the Report of this Commit- e made, but in the meantime it is urged upon you that all codes should be very carefully scrutinized. We are led to ‘ this as the State of California passed an Act, which is known e short name of “State Housing Act,” under the provisions of ‘buried in an innocent clause, wooden shingles were absolute- hibited from being used in that State.

It will be the duty of our Legislation Committee, during the coming year, to follow an important bill through the house—the Revision of the Banking Act. Lumbermen are large users of bank credit and it is to our interest to see that a sane measure of protec- tion is given these banking institutions. Fool resolutions and sug- gestions are not wanted but sane business judgment should be exercised. I sincerely hope that I have not taken up too much of your time in this summary of past and future activities of the Association. Our session following this morning’s session will be given up entirely to discussions by the members and we will welcome discussion, criticisms and suggestions from all. Outlines Its Activities once to our Secretary anything which you feel to be designed to cur- tail or prohibit the use of wooden shingles. We are indebted to Mr. A. J. Russel of the Sante Fe Lumber Co., San Francisco, Calif., for sending us full details in connection with the California Act. Mr. F. H. Lamar, Secretary-Manager of The Shingle Manufacturers’ Asso- ciation of British Columbia stated that possibly Mr. Loren L. Brown and Mr. A. Edward Roberts will be in attendance at this Convention. LABOR AND UNEMPLOYMENT CONFERENCE.\After some reference to Labor and the Unemployment Conference at Ot- tawa in September last, it was pointed out that during the whole pro- ceedings there was not one word said about any employer or repre- sentative of an employer. The report of the Executive set forth the fact that it would seem from this that the Dominion and Provincial Governments have only the extreme and insistent views of organized labor to consider. While the conference was called for the purpose of discussing unemployment in the Dominion, the presentations on behalf of organized labor went far beyond the advertised scope of the conference. The report stated that Tom. Moore, president of the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada, presented a statement that :—“It is not claimed that it is the duty of Governments to pater- nalistically provide every man and women with the necessaries of life, but every healthy man and women should be provided with a full opportunity of employment at wages which would enable them to maintain a proper standard of living, and if private enterprise fails in this respect, then it does become the duty of our Governments to see that none are compelled to either starve or become paupers.” Another statement was also reproduced from Mr. Moore as fol- lows.—“Unemployment insurance should be immediately instituted to take care of those unable to find employment or those who through the reduction of hours have not sufficient income to maintain a fair standard of living. Unemployment should be a first charge on in- dustry and a State Unemployment Insurance Fund obtained by as- sessments on industry in a similar manner to that adopted with Provincial Compensation Funds. Unemployment insurance to be administered by the Federal Government.” and further,—“The release of our natural resources held out of use for speculation by private interests and their fullest development. In this respect scientific and industrial research to discover commercial uses for many articles today considered commercially valueless should be encouraged.” The Committee quoted from the 1911 census of Canada showing the great importance of the lumber industry and the capital invested in timber, lumber and re-manufacturers thereof, and concluded as follows :— ’ Timber and lumber and re-manufacturers thereof stand second in value in the list, being exceeded only by the value of food pro- ducts. With proper organization, therefore, there is no reason why the timber and lumber trades of the country should not be.a determining factor in the future of this Dominion. It is for the members here assembled to decide what the course shall be.” SALES TAX.—There have been no changes to report during the year 1922, but November 21st we issued a circular letter asking for an expression of opinion with regard to the question as to whether the wholesaler pays the whole tax. STAMPS ON CHECKS.—On the 6th of June our President ad- dressed a letter to the Prime Minister, which was in part. “After discussing the question of the attaching of tax stamps to cheques, which, under the recent legislation was introduced into the house, before thig principle becomes law, we wish to place on record our distinct opposition to the proposed enactment,” 44 Export Outlook Looks Brighter During the second day of the Canadian Lumbermen’s Associa- ‘tion convention in Montreal the time was largely given up .to a discussion of trade conditions at home and abroad “The Export of Timber’ was the subject dealt with by W. Gerard Power, of Quebec, a former President of the C.L.A. He traced the de- velopment of the business from the days of the square sticks of pine, when, in order to reduce waste, waney pine came to the front, down to the production and shipment of deals from Que- bec and other ports. Mr. Power, who stated that he had returned recently from a trip overseas, re- marked that it was difficult to say what the future of the trade would be in the United Kingdom and Europe. As far as the Uni- ted Kingdom was _ concerned things were somewhat better but the political situation on the Con- tinent was far from being reassuring, “The export trade” continued the speaker, “is not as large as in the old days. The American mar- ket is taking more and more of our material and I do not think our export business will ever be as big as it was. Conditions are chang- ing and I figure in time that practically all lumber produced here will go to the United States. I noticed when abroad that the Swed- ish and Finnish lumber, which comes into England, is very carefully manufactured and graded. This is most important and we have been too careless in our production. All stock shipped from Canada to the U. K. has to be resawn over there and, if our lumber is too thin or too narrow, there is bound to bea loss. As all our material from the Dominion has to be resawn it is highly important that the manu- facture and grading should be more carefully attended to. competition will sooner or later come in but, if the things I have pointed out are observed, we should be able to hold our own and if we do, we can keep both English and American markets going.” Mr. Power went on to speak of some peculiar situations abroad and added that large shipments from Canada was hopeless unless work was created over there to turn the stock into money, and keep things on the move. It was not good for the lumber industry in this ‘coun- try if we were going to have a runaway market. Producers should get more for their lumber than they had during the last few years but, if prices ran riot, and out of reason, there swould ‘be a set-back and Canadians would be left with a heavy stock on their hands. In closing, Mr. Power again counselled against anything like runaway values if the best interests of the timber trade were to be preserved. W. Gerard Power, Former President of C.L.A. Quebec, Lessened Production of Eastern Spruce W. E. Golding, of St. John, N. B., said that conditions in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick were good today. The British Govern- ment stock of seven hundred million feet in the Maritime Provinces had been cleaned up, which had a most important effect in the trade. Operations in Nova Scotia over a period of years had averaged an annual cut of four hundred million feet and this year the cut would be about one hundred million feet. The average cut over a period of years in New Brunswick was seven hundred million feet and this season would be around four hundred million feet. Recent heavy snow storms had made it difficult for eastern men to operate and the damage through the ravages of the bud worm, had been far reaching in its effect. This pest had killed a vast amount of timber, Jumbermen were not going to get the quantities from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick that they had in former years. Spruce was not reproducing as rapidly today as it was being cut. The present ocean freight rates were also a handicap and should be reduced. The pros- pects in Ireland were for a fair market as there was a demand for timber in the Emerald Isle. Concluding, Mr. Golding said, ‘“We are enjoying a better trade in Great Britain than we have had. We are on a higher level of prices than pre-war quotations but, in my opinion, we cannot figure on much higher values for our product than we are getting to-day as Sweden, Finland, Poland and Russia will always be factors in our future overseas trade.” Angus McLean, of Bathurst, N.

During the afternoon the question of freight rates. came: tp for consideration and a resolution was adopted calling for a reduction as soon as possible. The text of the presentation, | will be found another column under the heading of “Resolutions.” Angus McLean, in moving one motion, said that manufacturers had to dress their stock down to the smallest possible-proportion i in order to lessen the high cost of carriage.

When asked for a reduction im rates, the stock argume of the carriers was that expenses are so high they could not afford to make any decrease. As a lumberman, Mr. McLean said that he felt, unless they were continually working with this end in view, they would never get the rates down. They should keep up the agitation for a lower cost of transportation of their product and not rest unt C they had attained the desired ends. \ | | Making and Marketing White Pine | 4 A. C. Manbert, of the Cana-- dian General Lumber Co., Tor- onto, said that he had been in- . vited to speak as “a wholesaler” on the white pine situation. He humorously remarked that the wholesaler seemed to be “the un- derdog today,” which brought forth cries of “No” “No.” Af- ter relating a number of amus- ing anecdotes, which put every one in good fettle, Mr. Manbert proceeded to a more serious con- sideration of the subject in hand. He asked if white pine enjoyed © any peculiar advantage today over other woods? ‘The present situation in the lumber market was somewhat paradoxical, in that no one could tell how long times were going to be good, and it would not be well to speculate too much on the outcome.

B., in a general discussion on this leading specie of at castern timber, Mr, McLean said that spruce was the dominant feature to-day over a large area of the forested lands of Canada, and particularly did this apply to Quebec and New Brunswick where this wood is preponderant, not only in quantity but also in value. Co: tinuing, Mr. Mclean said:—‘Besides it is the tree that seems lestined to hold its ground and continue to be the prevailing specie or all time to come. Of this wood there is about thirty varieties but the white and black spruce are the varieties that seem best ad- apted for our northern country. In many sections the tree grows ; spontaneously and rapidly and needs no artificial assistance but mply protection from the ravages of fire, and nature will do what- er else is required to restock our forests and give us a perpetual ly of this wood. A few years ago the spruce tree was consid- of little value, largely because people did not understand prop- erly how to use it. - “Besides new uses for -the wood have come into being that were not thought of a short time ago. The lumber from this tree is now us ed very extensively in the building trade for studding, joisting boarding as well as being a favorite wood for making concrete is. It is also largely used in manufacturing wooden boxes and ecially well adapted for this trade on account of its lightness, ength and good nailing qualities. ‘ ‘But it is no doubt more valuable for pulp and paper production for any other purpose and it excels all other woods in respect this industry.

The lumbermen should not depend on luck or opportunity and the present offered every avenue for care, prudence, integrity and fidelity which were abso- lutely essential in meeting the adjustments and the new situation confronting us to-day. W. R. King, of Barrie, Ont., said that the lumbermen should keep a level head in business as no one desired to see a runaway market so far as prices were concerned. Such a condition only tended to lower efficiency in operation and brought with it many other dan- gers. He was pleased that the Association had endorsed the fro- duction of oleomargarine. It was an article which the lumbermen used to economic advantage in the camps and gave satisfaction all around. 7 M. F.

No Runaway Market Desired on Canadian Spruce “What other specie, if any, have we that can be utilized as a Eb) substitute: Mr. Dickie Against Runaway Market Rufus E. Dickie, of Stewiacke, N.S., said that the lumbermen of his province had been suffering from deflation in prices the same as operators in other provinces, and during the past year only a small cut had been taken out, in comparison with previous productions. This season they had hoped i in his province to get a cut of two hun- ~ dred million feet but owing to heavy snow storms and labor difficul- ties, the output would not be more than half this amount.

A steady basis of prices was what was desired. The pulp and paper companies were buying up spruce lands and two large Nova Scotia — properties had been recently acquired by American interests and were being ‘held for future operation.

They were wholesalers, manufacturers and retailers. price for his goods. Canadian spruce had ‘been sold in the United States market during 1922 at a ruinous figure. It had been disposed of in central New York state for a dollar less than hemlock which had been brought in from Pennsylvania and spruce was worth con- — siderably more than hemlock. This was not a sound state of affairs — ‘Canadian producers were entitled J} since spruce was more valuable. to a higher price for their product and he would like to see thent get it as far as their spruce was concerned. He urged conservatiive practices on the part of the lumbermen and advised strongly against speculative values. David Champoux of Restigouche, Que., spoke in the interest of forest conservation and protecting the sources of future supply which was constantly getting smaller. Conservation was a most important question. He thought the C.L.A. was not going far enough in as- sisting subsidiary organizations in safeguarding our natural heri- tage. The provincial governments should stop giving away valuable forest tracts to alleged settlers who exploited the wood at big pro- fits and then abandoned the land which could ‘be sold at a good fig- ure and the revenue used to help new settlers in suitable agricultural districts.

In Nova Scotia, ‘where in 1882 he had taken a job as a boy, the amount cut was about seventy million feet annually. It was then predicted that the supply would be exhausted in a few years and the cut could not be kept up. Today the province was cutting one hundred million feet a year and by conservation and eliminating conflagrations, he believed there was ample supply for the future with the natural reproduction of the specie. He thought the settler should be located near churches and - schools and not so far back from civilization. The settler should be kept out of the virgin forest. Concluding Mr. Snowball said, “We have immense growths of hardwoods in New Brunswick which have not yet been exploited but, with the aid of the tractor, improved roads and modern hauling The discussion on the various kinds of lumber, their produc- tion, market demand and trend of prices was concluded at the Canadian Lumbermen’s Associa- tion convention in Montreal ‘by a consideration of the whole hardwood situation. The con- ference on the question was op- ened by Frank Kent, of the Sea- man, Kent Co., Limited, of Tor- onto, manufacturers of hard- wood flooring, who spoke of the fluctuations in hardwood prices as compared with those which prevailed for softwoods. . The former was a more seasonable product and subject to more varying conditions, and demand. In the manufacture of hard- woods there was too much, care- lessness witnessed today, especi- ally on the part of the small op- erator. He believed that there would ‘be a larger output of hardwoods than anticipated and particu- Frank Kent, Toronto, Ont. larly from the farmers who were taking out considerable quantities this season. Much has been said respecting the English market but he thought that it was coming back. The question of inspection was a very important one to which too much attention could not be giv- en. Mr. Kent favored a stabilized market and consistent prices and the question was, could we maintain it? James Keenan, of Owen Sound, Ont., said the spread in prices between No. 1 common and the low ends was altogether too great and yet the latter had to bear its proportion of the cost of produc- tion. In softwoods, the manufacturer could sell 99% of his product and knew where he was at, in setting the market price. Conditions were much more stable in softwoods and the demand steadier. Soft- woods also yielded a better average figure. In hardwoods, it was impossible to get anything like a fair quotation for the low grades and a market had to be developed for the product. Mr. Keenan thought that we were not going to have in the future any cheap lumber in the better grades.. The expenses of the manufacturer were constantly advancing. Overhead costs, selling, wages, opera- tion, Workmen’s Compensation Act, etc., were all ascending and _ the producer was not getting the frofit today that he should in view of rising costs and the amount of money invested in the industry. . Mr. Clark Reviews Some Conditinos ; President A. E. Clark, of Toronto, referred to several phases of the hardwood situation which were frequently overlooked. All the _ cut that could be turned out in Canada was comparatively small and had very little effect on prices. As for any Northern hardwoods, : these could ‘be substituted by Southern hardwoods of which great _ quantities were produced. The average yield per acre in Canada was — about 1,500 feet of hardwoods while, in the South, from 3,000 to _ 4,000 feet were secured from each acre. Operations could tbe con- _ ducted for only a few months every year in the Dominion while in _ the South logging was practically an all the year round industry. - In the Western and other states, transportation facilities are also a by reason of the large number of branch railway lines, If the Ve 4 - j " 7 q Hardwood Lumbermen Size up Production — - of Montreal, was invited to do his part in vocalization but mad eye Reals 3 rar, Po gee a ee and logging appliances, these woods can be brought out for facturing purposes. I entertain a hopeful outlook for the future we want a sane, far seeing government, who will make it a bus: to maintain and preserve our forest growth rather than encoura the settler to come in who merely spits on his hands and sk back the timber.” Too Many Christmas Trees Exported a7 J. Fraser Gregory, of St. John, N. B., said that export of Ch mas trees from the eastern.provinces by hundreds of thousand becoming alarming. They would become more valuable if 1 grow and a greater revenue would eventually be derived from iby the people instead of cutting and sending the young trees o the country.

They were much greater pr than we were and largely regulated the price situation. 3 of these circumstances it was a mistake to advance unduly the p of hardwoods or take advantage of any existing shortage whic soon be overcome owing to the reasons already outlined. There were certain manufacturing features in connection hardwoods which should be carefully considered, especially by tt small producers who supplied in the Dominion about 90% of the tire cut. Greater attention to manufacture should be given by he small mill-men but, judging by the nature of the product he did not know whether to call them lumbermen or not. They should reme ber that they could not turn out hardwood with the same equipm as the softwood man as the process of cutting was slower and - solid installations were required in the mills. Practically all N ern hardwoods were turned out in 10, 12, 14 and 16 foot lengths, latter two of which were the most saleable. The market called - more 14 and 16 foot lengths than it did for 10 and 12 foot lengths and yet some manufacturers did not recognize this state of affairs and complained that they could not get a proper price for their pro- duct. The bulk of hardwood lumber from these small mills was sold as No. 2 common, with the mills culls out or No. 3 with the d culls out. More discrimination should be exercised in segregatin the lumber if the producers wished to obtain the highest price and to get the best out of their logs. Conditions in the trade were such today that most any figure could be secured on some lines as c tain grades and thicknesses were scarce. Mr. Clark said the mar. was steadily improving but if prices were boosted unreasonably, would prove a serious mistake and tend only to encourage the s stitution of Southern hardwoods and so kill the market. In c clusion, Mr. Clark strongly advised that greater attention be given by the small mill-men to more scientific cutting and grading of products. He thought that the discussion on the various problem which had been considered, would result in much benefit to the ber industry in Canada as a whole. ee) 4 a i ee Banquet Was Brilliant: Func ion > s i The fifteenth annual congress of the Canadian Lumbermen’s sociation was brought to a close on the evening of the second dé by a brilliant banquet which was largely attended, many ladies g1 ing the social gathering.

A happy touch was given when he remarked that he should -Start modern history with a sketch of the early explorers reaching the Rapids here, under the impression they were going to China, and continue it “to the day that landed the Mackenzie King Liberals in power at Ottawa, with probably even less idea of where they were going.” (Laughter). But to deal with all this, he remarked, would take so long a time that before he had finished the Liberal party in Quebec might be out of power, Sir Henry Thornton have stopped making speeches, or even Toronto present arguments as to the magnificent advantages of Montreal as headquarters for the Canadian National Railways. Interspersing his humor with more serious matter, Dr. Laing paid warm tribute to the Canadian lumbering industry as the force which ‘had cleared the land to make farms, advanced industry through- out the country, developed water powers, created settlements and thriving towns, and contributed in very large measure to the fro- gress of Canada. “Our Friends” was replied to by Hon. Walter Mitchell, who ad- opted a similar humorous strain to that of Dir. Laing. He also spoke in praise of the lumber industry, with various references to the ad- vantageous and sensible manner in which it had always been treated by the Liberal Government at Quebec. He explained that he was not doing this to help the Government in the present campaign, but sim- ply to show the representatives of the lumber industry that the Que- bec Government had always been alive to the necessity of giving them fair treatment, as some of their members had already pointed out. The topic was further discussed by W. E. Bigwood, of Toronto; W. B. Snowball, of Chatham, N.B.; J. Fraser Gregory, of St. John; Frank Kent, of Toronto, and others. A full outline of the many points brought out is held over until a later issue. ——a Frank Hawkins, Secretary of the Association, presented a short, verbal report. He said most of the work done during the year had been embodied in the reports which had been printed and sent out. Fle was glad to see so many friends present at the gathering, not only from Canada but from the other side of the line and referred to the presence of several officers from American lumber associa- tions. Mr. Hawkins feelingly referred to the number of deaths that had taken place since the last annual meeting in Toronto and, in this connection, mentioned the passing of Alexander MacLaurin, of the Campbell-MacLaurin Lumber Co., Montreal; George B. Camp- bell of the Fraser-Bryson Lumber Co., Ottawa; Ward C. Hughson of Gilmour and Hughson, Hull, Que., and P. D. Gordon of Mason, “% Gordon and Co., Montreal; all of whom were honorable and upright jf) members of the great lumber industry. Miss Hopewell, who had been a faithful member of the C.L.A. staff at Ottawa, had also passed away during the year. ; ey Another matter, which Secretary Hawkins touched upon, was an address delivered recently by the Postmaster of Ottawa, before the Rotary Club in that city, in connection with the early mailing of letters. He suggested that every person should have in his office a list of the various hours when the different mails closed and get . eral Committee in the United States on standard sizes and “? grades and to study this question and take action, if neces- sary. “ea Legitimate Retail Lumber Dealer Moved by J.

In the introductory re- marks, it was pointed out that the Ontario Lumber Dealers’ As- sociation had made good progress and that its activities had been different considerably from those of former years. From 1918 to 1921 the O.R.L.D.A. had a large number of cases of complaint by members against shippers and others who were not giving the retailer a fair or business-like treatment and also dealt with other matters varying from the holding of local meetings to the interpretation of the sales tax. - lee .. ae All these matters have been ee OFOntO, Unt. dealt with each year in the secre- ae eg ORLA. tary’s annual Fae Continu- ‘ing, the Secretary dealt specifically with many subjects of much ; pretest to the members of the retail trade. ~ Complaints by members against shippers have been comear- atively few. It would be interesting to enquire into the reasons for this if we had the necessary information upon which to reach a con- clusion. It is worth while bearing in mind, however, the fact that 'the past year has been a good one, with firm prices, and that such - complaints, according to past experience, are more likely to develop under these conditions than during a falling market. The most natural conclusion that your Secretary can arrive at is that the co- operation of the dealers during the past five years has had a good educational effect both upon themselves and upon those shippers who formerly gave the retailer a raw deal whenever he had an op- . rtunity. Apparently we have ourselves very largely to thank for this important betterment in trade ethics. _ The wide scope of our co-operation and the interesting results cured by it are clearly indicated by the following reports upon some of those matters that came under the attention of the Secretary during the year 1922. ete Building and Loan Association } _ One'of the subjects that occupied the attention of the Association to a considerable extent during the year was that of Building and Loan Associations. Our President has always been keen on de- -yeloping some way in which Retail Lumber Dealers can simplify _ the problem of loans for the erection of houses. Under present con- ditions a prospective builder of a home can obtain a first mortgage ‘only up to about 50% of the value of the proposed building. If he finds that he needs more money to build the house, he must borrow n a second mortgage and pay an almost prohibitive discount for this loan. Undoubtedly this situation prevents many mechanics and orkingmen, who are in receipt of fair-sized wages, from ever being to own a home of their own. In the United States there are a number of Building and Loan Associations operating on a plan under which small payments may be made at regular and frequent intervals ‘by those who desire to save their money for the purpose building a home, and when these payments amount to a compar- ively small proportion of the total cost of the building they are titled to a loan which will enable them to proceed with their build- operations. Subsequently they continue their payments until pe amount of the loan is wiped out. Those Building and Loan ssociations also sell shares outright to other parties who desire to est their money in this manner. The record of these Associations ra 5 ee Ue Cae SMe fe, ee 4 ” a m have come to grief. The plan upon which they are working 3 quite sound. Cw Unfortunately, in Ontario, we are not able to operate in this Manner. Some years ago in Ontario two of the large Loan and ivings Companies came to grief. These were companies issuing were known as “Terminating” shares, on which small payments 2 made at regular intervals by the parties taking out the shares. a result of these two companies failing, the Ontario Legislature yt, Ee Ee Ae OF nee Ee en enviable one, as they have promoted home-owning and very: CANADA LUMBERMAN | it amended its Loan and Trust Corporations Act by requiring that all stocks and shares in such corporations hereafter incorporated shall be fixed, terminated, and non-withdrawable. This did away entirely with the “Terminating” share in Ontario. ; Z It is further provided by the Loan and Trust Corporations Act of (Ontario, as it now exists, that any person, corporation, partner- ship, association, etc., undertaking a contract of the “Terminating” share description ‘shall be guilty of an offence and liable to an order for restitution of the money and a term of imprisonment not exceed- ing twelve months. It appears, therefore, that the ordinary Loan and Building Society or Association can not longer be incorporated in Ontario. The only alternative under the Act is the incorporation of a regular Loan and Trust Company. For this purpose an application must be submitted stating that at least $300,000 of stock has been subscribed by at least twenty-five responsible subscribers in the case of Trust Corporations, and at least $100,000 in other cases, and that at least $50,000 of the subscribed stock has been paid in cash by the subscribers into an Ontario branch of a chartered bank of Canada in trust for the pro- posed corporation. incorporation under a Dominion Charter. In view of this situation, our President submitted the whole — matter to Mr. S. Herath, of Ojibway and asked him to make an in- vestigation and report at our present Annual Convention. Mr. Herath has gone very fully into the matter, has taken legal advice, and is to give an address upon the subject during the Convention, Mechanics’ Lien Act Discussed The Secretary then detailed the steps to secure the proposed new Mechanics’ Lien Law, which has been published in the “Canada Lumberman.” After detailing all that had taken place be- fore the special committee and the Ontario Legislature, the report says: _ When the situation had reached this stage, your Secretary, on the instruction of the President, managed to bring about a conference between officially appointed representatives of the Association of | Canadian Building and Construction Industries, the Toronto Build- ers’ Exchange and the Canadian Manufacturers’ Association. At this conference it was informally agreed that in so far as possible the interests represented should co-operate in connection with their efforts to improve the Ontario Mechanics’ Lien Act, and three points were agreed upon and submitted to the Commissioners on “Uniform- ity of Legislation.” These points were as follows.— 1. In the event of default by the contractor or cancellation of contract, the owner shall not have the right to set off his subsequent claims on percentage retained, as against material men. Z. In the event of default by the contractor or failure of the owner, seven days more than the thirty days now allowed should be ~ b afforded for registering liens. It was also agreed to recommend strongly the unification, so far as possible, of the various lien laws of the Provinces of Canada. Your Secretary discontinued the services of the Association legal counsel in connection with the Lien Act early in the year, when it appeared that we had reached the end of our tether for the time being. He would now suggest that the incoming Directors should watch the situation closely and be prepared to co-operate with others, or act individually if necessary, in case the Ontario Legislature decides to change the existing law, but that at present it would not be ad- visable to continue our former efforts in the direction of securing a new Mechanics’ Lien Act. Some Matters for Arbitration In the matter of arbitration, the report said—One matter of arbitration came before us during the year and was submitted to our Arbitration Committee. This was a dispute between a Toronto retailer and a wholesale dealer in Victoria, B. C., relating to an allow- | ance on account of certain material not being as wide as the retailer believed he had ordered. The correspondence in this case was sub- mitted to our Arbitration Committee and they advised us that in their opinion the proper method of settlement would be that the re- tailer should pay the amount of the invoice less an allowance for one- half of the difference in width of the material, because, in their opinion, 'both parties to the contract were to blame. We subsequently had a letter from the wholesaler in Victoria, expressing readiness to abide by this decision and stating that he was taking the matter up Le Similar requirements prevail in connection with |} a 5g CANADA LUMBERMAN with the retailer. We believe that it was subsequently concluded satisfactorily. 4 In another case a manufacturer asked us in regard to a carload | shipped to a Toronto dealer, part of which had been rejected because it was too thin. The mill in Vancouver took the position that be- cause the car had been received and unloaded, it had been accepted, in accordance with the “Bill of Sales Act.” They asked us our opinion on the matter. Defore replying we consulted several whole- salers in Toronto, who had had extensive experience with shipments from British Columbia, and we then advised that the mill was mis- ~ taken. Unloading of the car could not be considered as acceptance, otherwise the retailer would be buying in the dark, as he could not ~ know what the car contained until it was unloaded. We also advised that we believed the retailer in this particular case had a definite claim in connection with stock that was below thickness. This view was the result of interviews with several wholesalers and retailers in Toronto. As we heard no more from the mill, and nothing from the retailer in question, we presume that the matter was settled amicably along the lines we suggested. The Standardization of Lumber Grades The standardization of sizes and grades of lumber has always been an interesting matter to our Perper Unfortunately, up to date, it has not been found possible to adopt any course that will _ lead to improvement of the existing situation. A development that has occurred in the United States during the past year may have - important bearing on this matter, and your Secretary (believes that it should be considered by the Association at the present Annual Convention. Mr. W. M. Tupling has undertaken to submit an out- line of the situation and a discussion of it, after which open discus- sion from the members will tbe in order. Briefly, the situation is that Mr. Herbert Hoover Secretary of Commerce for the United States, suggested to the manufacturers, re- tailers and consumers of lumber in ine United States, early in 1922, that they should get together and establish standard sizes and stan- dard grades for softwoods and hardwoods, and that they should de- - yise a means for securing inspection and giving a guarantee to the consumer as to the sizes and grades he was buying, The National Lumber Manufacturers eeociation of the United States, the Na- tional Wholesale Lumber Dealers Association of the United States, the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association of the United States, the Hardwood Manufacturers Association of the United States, and a large number of the regional associations, both manufacturing and a retailing, have taken up “this matter. At a joint Lumber Congress held in Chicago, a Central Committee of seven was appointed repre- senting each of the branches of the industry as well as the consum- ers of ‘lumber. This committee has opened an office at Washington, and is in touch with the various lumber Associations through the country. It is endeavoring to work out grading rules and an imspec- tion service that will be acceptable to all. It is believed that if this movement in the United States is successful, it cannot help but im- ‘fluence the situation in Canada, and your Secretary has, therefore, thought it well to submit the matter for discussion. , Association Membership Still Growing In view of the advisability of joint action among retailers in Canada upon this important subject, we wrote in August to the Western Retail Lumbermen’s Association at Winnipeg, and we had from them an assurance that they will be glad to co-operate with us if the occasion arises. The report referred to the new Toronto Branch of the O.R.L.D.A. % and also the membership of the O.R.L.D.A., which now stands at 201, an increase of 15 over last year. In 1918 the membership was 131, so that each year has shown a considerable growth. The Sec- retary then dealt extensively with the midsummer outing up the lakes, lower freight rates and plan book service. Other matters touched upon were the time limit on stop-over, demurrage rates, the -— sales tax and cost accounting. . A Stop-over and Demurrage Rates The question of increasing the time limit at stop-over points _ ject that we have had under consideration with the railway com- panies for considerable time. The Canadian Lumbermen’s Associa- tion and the Canadian Manufacturers’ Association, who were also interested, were co-operating. ‘The result of this operation eventual- ly was an increase in the time from oe days to six months, this change _ having gone into effect September 25, 1922. . Prior to our last Annual i the Board of Railway Com- - missioners had issued an order on the application of the Canadian _ Manufacturers’ Association, the Canadian Lumbermen’s Association, and ourselves, for reductions in rates of demurrage from $2.00 per _ day in the second day to $1.00, but increased it “oe the third and _ fourth days to $5.00 from $3.00 and $4.00 respectively. We protested to the Board against this action, claiming that no evidence had been on lumber and forest products for milling and sorting has been a sub- - . mittee consists of dealers in Toronto, who can meet convenient ibmitted which would warrant any increase and that our applica- tion requested reduction, therefore the question enone or adjusted. However, owing to considerable difficulty in se necessary evidence in support “of our complaint from individual which is the only basis which would ‘be satisfactory, we were cc pelled eventually to let the matter drop for the time being and question is therefore in that position to-day. Operation of the Sales Tax Early in April newspaper reports appeared to the effect ioe Canadian Manufacturers’ Association and others were conside suggestion that they should urge the Minister of Finance, to the Sales Tax so that it would be paid by the retailer. This ma was submitted to our President and Directors and as a res members were asked to write to the Minister of Finance of any such proposal and urging that the tax should remain upon th manufacturers, who should not be required or permitted to s| upon his invoice as an additional item. While the new KS did not relieve the manufacturer of lumber of the duty of sl the amount of the tax upon his invoice, the wholesaler tailer have not been requir ed to pass on the tax. ther tax upon re-sale” in connection with lumber. 1 sented to the Minister in this connection probably assiste siderably in reaching a conclusion. In March, 1922, the Canadian Manufacturers” whee out a circular regarding the sales tax along the lines men We drew their attention to the fact that their proposal with very serious objection by retailers and we were advised ‘by them that they had withdrawn the proposal enti At the request of one of the members of the Associatio the instruction of our President, the Secretary sent out on Jt an enquiry to all the members in regard to carpenter cont who make their own sash, frames, etc., in connection with their . and do not pay any sales tax upon the ‘product. We asked our m bers whether they found cases of this in their districts, and w I they thought that we should take the matter up with the Dep: ment of Customs. We ie a ane number of replicas cabins the matter up eee the D partment, Accor ‘the nae was not proceeded with any further. 3 Advantages of Cost Accounting At the Convention of the National Retail Lumber Dealers As- sociation at Cleveland in October, much attention was given to the subject of “Cost Accounting.” This has been discussed frequent by our Directors and at our Annual Meetings. The situation as it has developed in some of the Northern States is interesting. In ‘Ohio and in New York and Massachusetts special committees haye been at work on this subject for a couple of years past and wo systems of cost accounting have been worked out—one for Ohio and one for the members of the Northwestern Association. These sys- tems are already in use and are highly praised by the dealers in these States. As we understand them, they are not systems which cost a great deal of money to install or require serious changes in the met ods that dealers already use. They are designed chiefly to make us of the existing systems and to arrange some of their details so that it becoems possibile to make comparisons as to costs between erations in the different yards which follow the same plan. The ac cost of changing over to these systems is very small, not more t about twenty- five dollars, and consists chiefly in the cost ofa fer y special lines of stationery. The Northeastern system and the Ohio system, according to re- ports presented at Cleveland, are very similar. The National ‘Ass ie ciation discussed the advisability of working these two systems | int a single system for use throughout the United States. B th Northeastern Association and the Ohio Association expresset | th: readiness to scrap their own systems if necessary in order th standard system might be adopted by the National Associatior Apparently, if such a standard is adopted, iby a Special Comr m1 tee which was appointed for this purpose, it will resemble in n all its details either one of the two systems now existing. Belie that the results already secured in these States must have consi able value to our members, we have secured from the Northeas’ te Association a copy of their system. On the instructions of our Pr dent, this system, together with some correspondence on the ject was submiitted to a Special Committee in November. — order to study the subject. They held one meeting for organiz and appointed Mr. W. Warren, of the Myers Lumber Compan Chairman. Then they arranged that each memlber of the comn should individually make a study of the system in use by the N eastern Association, and they adjourned until each member co have the material for personal study. The proposal was then t they should hold a meeting and be prepared to report at our Anas Convention. Your Secretary expects that Mr. Warren will have report to present when the subject of Cost Accounting is u discussion, fee on ee W holesale oe orinen Llect New [= CANADA LUMBERMAN Encouraging Reports Psesented on Work of Past Year—Plans Outlined for Increaying Interest and Activities of Organization—Live Board Chosen Alex, C. Gordon, who was vice-chairman of the Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association last year, was elected chairman for 1923 at the annual meeting held at the Albany Club, To- ronto, on January 12th. ‘There was a large attendance and much interest developed in the elec- tions. K. M. Brown and C. W. Wilkinson were also nominated for the position of \presiding of- ficer, but withdrew. In taking the chair, Mr. Gordon who for many years has been associated with the firm of Mickle, Dyment & Son, thanked the members for the honor conferred upon him, and hoped that the meetings during 1923 would be full of in- terest and profit to all. He.said that the success of the organiza- Alex. C. Gordon, Toronto tion depended, not on the presi- Newly-Elected Chairman dent alone, but upon the co- operation of the Board of Directors and the enthusiasm and interest of the members. For the directors five entirely new men were chosen, ten being nominated. The new Board will consist of H. G. McDermid (Union Lumber Co,); Alfred E. Read (Read Bros.); F. H. Bigwood, (Cana- dian General Lumber Co.); L. D. Barclay, (Canadian Western Lum- ber Co.) and R. G. Chesbro. After the election, the newly-elected of- ficers were called upon for short speeches and all declared that pros- pects looked bright during the coming twelve months, not only for the Association but for the lumber trade in general. H. Boultbee was re-elected secretary-treasurer of the Association. During the early part of the evening H. J. Terry, president, presided, and briefly reviewed the events of the past year. He ex- pressed his pleasure that R. G. Chesbro had recovered from his tather protracted illness and was now able to be present and he also welcomed back to the fold C. W. Wilkinson who had been absent for a long period. The chairman reviewed the nature of the meetings during the past year and the special features which char- acterized them. He thought the interest, particularly during the Alfred E. Read, Toronto, Newly-Elected Director R. G. Chesboro, Toronto Newly-Elected Director latter months, had been well sustained. Mr. Terry suggested per- haps it might be advisable to increase the fees for membership. This was a subject which he liked to see discussed. The Association meant a great deal to the lumbermen from many standpoints and its Credit Bureau was an institution of great service and benefit. In conclusion Mr. Terry said,—‘‘We have done our best, and if the year has been satisfactory to you, it has been satisfactory to the. Board.” Secretary H. Boultbee presented his statement, showing a sub- stantial balance on the right side of the ledger. Reports were then received from the various committees, A. C. Gordon reporting on behalf of the Membership Committee; K. M. Brown the Attendance Committee; A. E. Gordon the Audit and Finance Committee; H. G. Chesbro the Arbitration Committee; H. G, McDermid, the Bureau of Information; W. C. Laidlaw, the Fire and Marine Committee; W. E. Bigwood, the Inspection Committee; A. C. Manbert the Legis- lation Committee; A. E. Clark, the Transportation Committee; Alfred E. Read, the Trade and Relations Committee; H. A. Rose, Terms of Sales and L. D. Barclay, Entertainment Committee. Most of the chairman reported everything had gone smoothly and harmoniously during the past year and that there had been very little for some of the committees to undertake. K. M. Brown, for the Attendance Committee, said that about 60% of the local mem- bership had ‘been represented at each monthly gathering and so far as the general membership was concerned, the attendance during the spring had been about 53% but during the fall months it had increased to about 75%. He spoke of the benefit of Association ‘work and the members getting together for an expression of ideas, the interchange of confidences, the righting of wrongs and the re- moving of prejudice, etc. Mr. Brown declared that everyone should put his shoulder to the wheel, and asserted that each member got out of the Association and its work just exactly what he put in. Mr. McDermid, reporting for the Bureau of Information, said the average monthly returns from the firms had been about 70% and the highest 98% of membership. He said this is one of the most important features of the Association and he thought that all should co-operate heartily in sending in their statements by the 15th of each month. A. C. Manbert, for the Legislation Committee, made some fa- cetious reference to the sales tax and declared lumbermen now re- garded the payment of this, not as a tax at all but as a very distinct pleasure. Mr. Clark, for the Transportation Committee, said he was also chairman of the Transportation Committee of the Canadian Lumber- L. D.

The Department of the C.L.A. had done effective work during the past year. He thought all complaints as to overcharges, claims, etc., should be made known to the Department. In checking of freight bills too much care should not be exercised. He ‘believed that the Transportation Department was now working in closer harmony: > and co-operation with the railway interests than ever before and and when changes in regulations, etc., were being made, advance copies of the amendments were now sent to the Traffic Department of the C.L.A, to have them looked over. Mr. Clark said that with the lumbermen and railways working together in a friendly spirit greater progress could be made. Railw ay finances had of late been improving and he hoped they would remain in this condition so that some time in the not far distant future—another application might be made by the forest products men to be relieved further from the burden of freight rates. In closing, Mr. Clark referred again to the importance of the Transportation Bureau. The grading of lumber was the main subject of discussion at the meeting of the Montreal Retail Lumber Association, held at Freeman’s Hotel on January 10th.. The question of the relations between wholesalers and retailers was also on the agenda, but this was postponed until the next meeting. J. F. Dupuis who presided, referred to the large attendance and to the increasing interest in the association. He recapitulated what had been done, pointing out that the original idea of making the association a section of the Chambre de Commerce had ‘been abandoned in favor of an organization independent of any existing institution. It was decided to appoint Capt. G. A. Thompson secretary of the Association. Mr. Dupuis stated that Capt. Thompson had served four years at the front in the Aviation Corps and had brought down the Germans. It was agreed that the temporary committee be authorized to carry on the association until the permanent officers are elected. G. Tyler, Montreal manager of the Seaman, Kent Co. Limited, attended and gave the answer of his company to certain. suggestions of the Association relative to the selling policy of the company. He stated that while the company could not see their way to accede to the suggestions, the company were willing to make certain conces- sions to the retailers in the matter of discounts. The chairman thanked Mr. Tyler ‘for his attendance. A discussion on the grading of lumber followed, in which Messrs. Thomson, Therrien, Stewart, Rutherford, Halliday and Pare took part. It was initiated by a suggestion of W. H. Thomson that some steps should be taken to obviate delays in the shipment of cars of spruce. These delays were,-he said, often due to a difference of opinion between the wholesaler and retailer as to the grade, and he suggested the appointment of an arbitrator who would decide be- tween the wholesaler and retailer. . The chairman agreed that something on these lines was desir- able, and ‘he pointed to the good work done by the National Hard- wood Lumber Association. Stewart Rutherford declared that he wished the word “merchant- able” could be eliminated from the dictionary. Different mills sup- plied different qualities of lumber under this general description. It was difficult to define what 5th quality was. In pine the position was more difficult than in spruce. If some means could be devised by which grades could be positively defined, the retailer would ‘be in a position to know exactly what he was buying, and if the lumber shipped did not come up to grade, then the cars could be sent back. He suggested that a recommendation be sent to the Canadian Lum- bermen’s Association that the manufacturers should get together and establish definite grades and appoint inspectors to see that the grades were delivered. The chairman mentioned an instance where a month’s delay was caused owing to some difference of opinion as to the grade of certain lumber—a delay which could have been avoided had there been a system of inspection. Mr, Pare pointed out that certain manufacturers had definite grades to which it was replied that the idea was to get all manufac- turers on the same basis. / Mr. Halliday suggested that it might be well to take up the ‘question with the wholesalers who are equally interested. The following were appointed to draft a letter to the Canadian Lumbermen’s Association on the subject of grading and the ap- pointment of inspectory—Messrs. Dupuis, S.

W. Brankley, of the Miramichi Lumber Co., Chatham, N.B., who was ill for the last month, was sufficiently recovered to at- tend the annual convention of the C.L.A. in Montreal. Mr. and Mrs. — Brankley have gone to Florida where they will spend the next few weeks. He is president of the New Brunswick Lumbermen’s Asso- | ciation and hopes to return in time for the annual meeting which will be held toward the latter part of March. H. E. Howe, lumberman, of Shawinigan Falls, Que., states that in that district operators, both big and small, are cutting a large quantity of logs and the outlook is regarded as bright. The small mills will make a big cut as they are busy in the bush. The recent rise in prices has encouraged them considerably. Some of the pulp and paper companies will not operate their sawmills this season — owing to the activity in pulp and newsprint, for which there is a- decidedly strong demand. Canadian Western Lumber Co., Ltd., of Fraser Mills, B. C., in its report of November operation, shows a considerable improvement in both production and sales in comparison with November, 1921. | Lumber manufactured, at 8,314,040 feet, compares with 5,947,241; lumber sold, 7,993,326 feet, as against 5,142,006, and price realized at $220,148, compared with $129,279.

There are now some 40 men in camp at Haliburton, Ont., and a busy season is predicted. — J = - ror The discussion of forest supervision measures to be adopted next year, with a view to reducing to a minimum the possibility of — a recurrance of last year’s Northern Ontario holocaust, was the pur- _ pose which summoned the forest engineers of the province into con- | sultation with Crown officials recently at the Parliament Buildings, — Toronto. The methods which the Government intends to adopt in- volve the extension of the aircraft patrol system, which was so suc- cessful last year in the Georgian Bay district, and the more general use of lookout towers and telephone connections. Measures of re- — forestation were also discussed at the conference. = | The Department of Lands and Forests of the Ontario Govern- ment has accepted the tender of Charles Mellor of Port Arthur for timber or township seven and part of six lying east of the Canadian Pacific Railway main line, near James Station, on the Grand Trunk.

A splendid address was made by Presi- dent George Mead, of Dayton, Ohio, dealing with the past opera- tions of the concern, its bright future and the very satisfactory con- ditions existing between the company and its employees. Addres- ses were also delivered by Colonel Thomas Gibson, Toronto, Vice- President; Colonel C. H. L. Jones, General Manager; George R. Gray, Manager of wood operations; Hon. Dr. R. J. Manion, M.P. for Fort William, and P. B. Wilson, Vice-President and former President of the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association. Mr. Nichols is Once More Returned W. A. Nichols, who is a widely-known lumberman of Carleton Place, Ont., was re-elected Reeve of that town by acclamation in the recent returns. He has also been elected warden of Lanark County. Mr. Nichols is a public-spirited citizen and some years ago was Mayor of Carleton Place. He was first'made Reeve in 1915 and his municipal experience well qualifies him for looking after the inter- ests and welfare of the citizens among whom he is highly regarded. He has lived in Carleton Place all his life and runs a sawmill with a cutting capacity of 12,000 feet a day and a woodworking plant which specializes in mouldings, fancy inside finish, etc. Keenan Allied Industries at Owen Sound A Toronto paper recently published an illustrated edition of Owen Sound, in its reconstruction and educational review of the fast-growing cities and towns of Ontario. Special reference was made to the activities of Keenan Bros., the Keenan Towing Co., the Kee- nan Woodenware Mfg.

"There were a large number present and the proceedings passed off pleasantly, the function being attractive and enjoyable in every respect. W. H. C. Mussen, the genial president of the organization, presided and was ably assisted by his right-hand man, J. S. Innes, who is in charge of the logging department. H. H. Linn, -e-president of the company, was prevented from being present ing to the death of his mother, and during the evening a tele- gram of condolence was sent. Others who gathered around the festive board were,—G. R. Hanks, of Morris, N. Y., president of the Linn Tractor company; George. Whitman, of Morris, IN os sie Ge. atch, of New York, secretary; W. C. Hull, president of the Oval ‘00 d Dish Co.; W._S. Weldon, Collector of Customs, Montreal, and many fepresentative lumber and pulp and paper exponents. ___During the evening rollicking songs and sketches were given by Fred Brown, who is favorably regarded in Montreal engineering - circles, “Foe” Beauchamp, W. S. Weldon and others. Splendid _moving pictures were presented showing the Linn logging tractor in operation under various trying conditions and demonstrating its dependability and great hauling power. It was seen drawing im- mense compressor castings weighing 65,000 Ibs. each for the Hope ON Natural Gas (Co., of Clarksburg, W. Va., where a compressor station was being erected. The distance was 19 miles and the roads were apparently impassable owing to the depth of snow and slush, while the grades were very steep and the curves exceedingly sharp. _ Other pictorial revelations showing how effective the Linn tractor is on snow and ice and exemplifying the flexibility of the — traction, working overground without use of mud-hooks, etc. were witnessed in connection with hardwood for the Oval Wood Dish Co. at Tupper Lake, N. Y., and the Gould Paper Co. in its activities at ~ North Lake, N. Y. The latter company has twelve Linn machines - engaged in its pulpwood operations. Several loads of hardwood logs were pulled by the Linn tractor at Tupper Lake, each containing 9,- — 000 ft, Doyle rule. Several of the moving pictures were taken with- ; out knowledge of the Linn Mfg. Co., so that no stunts had been = “prepared” or “staged.” At the close of the entertainment Mr. Mussen exfressed his pleasure at the large number who had accepted the invitation to be ‘present at the dinner. He spoke enthusiastically of the work and wy worth of the Linn tractor and enlarged upon its economic, reliable, flexible and other well balanced features in connection with winter _ logging, proving that tractor logging makes the long haul profitable _ and also makes it possible to drive only the main rivers and streams. a A number of Linn tractors are now in operation in various parts of Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick, and anyone interested was _ cordially invited to witness a demonstration of what the machine can do, = A hearty vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Mussen, and Mr. Innes for their hospitality, the mover being Cyril T. Young, man- ager of the Eastern Lands Department of the Canadian National ; Railways, who voiced the sentiments of all present in a few appor- priate remarks.

Thomson and the chairman, ‘Mr. PP Dupuis. | It opened with a reading of a section of the by-laws of eae e Ontario Retailers’ Association relating to sales by wholesalers onsumers. Mr. S. Rutherford then made the suggestion that retailers should work in co- operation with the Montreal Whole- on the lines of those adopted in Ontario. He referred to the tax, which in some instances was passed on to the retailer by ‘manufacturer. This was illegal. Perhaps a meeting of the salers and retailers would result in the drawing up of a list of ymers such as the railways and other large industrial concerns, m the wholesalers could sell. nsiderable amount of discussion followed as to what con- a whi holesaler ae a peice and as 0 the eligibility of firms Lumber Dealers’ Association, in order to arrive at some working _ CANADA LUMBERMAN st doing both classes of trade to become members of the Association. Where was the line to be drawn? To some wholesalers the doing of a retail trade was not attractive, as they did not want to take the risks. The chairman was in favor of appointing a commitiee to meet the wholesalers in order to get a definite declaration as to what con- stitutes a wholesaler. There was no doubt, he added, that some wholesalers were selling retail. After some further discussion, in which emphasis was laid on the importance of cordial relations between both sections of the trade, it was proposed by Mr. Lebel, seconded by Mr. Sylvain, that J. P. Dupuis, S. Rutherford, W. H. Thomson, J. A. Bonneau and J. Laurence be appointed to meet the Montreal Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association, with a view to defining what constitutes a wholesaler, and also to discuss other matters of interest. The next meeting of the association will be held on February 7, when a president, vice-president, and five directors will be elected. The Old Timber Boundary Holds Good In 1840, when country between the Petawawa and the Bonne- chere rivers was farcelled into limits for pioneer lumbermen, the | back areas were not much considered. Wood along the rivers was cut and the rest left. With the increase in the value of lumber the | exact boundaries have become important. | In 1914, J. R. Booth, of Ottawa, cut over what he thought to ibe part of lhis back area. Four and a half square miles of the area | cut was claimed by the Golden Lake Lumber Co. to lie within its’ boundaries. Two million feet were cut by the Booth employees, and the Golden Lake Company sued to recover at the rate of $20_ a thousand feet, endorsing its claim for $40,000. Testimony at the | trial was to the effect that it was worth $80 per thousand, which would bring the value up to $160,000. J. R. Booth relied on a line run by a surveyor named Robertson in 1844. The other company relied on a line placed on a township— survey map subsequently. Mr. Justice Middleton holds that the Golden Lake Company is out of court because when the timber was cut in 1914, by an over- } sight no license had been issued to it for its limits. The claim of the Attorney General of Ontario, who was joined with the Golden — Lake Company as a flaintiff, is also dismissed on the ground that the Robertson line was run by a Department surveyor as the boun-— dary line of the limits. By reason of renewal of the license from year to year this line must be taken to have remained the boundary, even though the license are but for one year and each license is a new transaction. 7 New Lumber Company Opens Offices J. H. Poulin, who recently resigned his position as general-man- ager of the Rimouski Lumber Co., of Rimouski, Que., has completed } the organization of the J. H. Poulin Lumber Co., Limited, with } headquarters in Montreal. ‘The company is obtaining a federal charter. Mr. Poulin, who has been in the lumber line all his life, states that the new company will begin operations this month on the } old hunting grounds of Quebec, New Brunswick and the New Eng- land States, and already has several choice cuts of spruce lumber. Offices have been opened at Room 85, 205 St. James St., in the } Bank of Montreal Bldg., Montreal. Associated with Mr. Poulin will be J. P. Fitzpatrick, president of the National Securities, Montreal. | Want Fire Rangers for the Year Around The chief fire rangers in the North should be all-the-year-round | men, and they should have power to hire assistants as early in the season as they deem necessary, and retain them as long as is } considered advisable, according to views expressed at the quarterly | meeting of the Associated Boards of Trade, in South Porcupine, Ont. A resolution to this effect is being forwarded to the department, it being felt that these decisions should not be left to “some swivel- chair-man in Toronto,” as one delegate phrased it. The contention was made that the costs of fire-ranging amounted to one cent per square mile only, and that of $630,000 voted for this work less than a quarter of a million was actually devoted to field work, the balance being used largely for overhead and Toronto salaries. : The Devon Lumber Co., Limited, lumber manufacturers, whose head office is at Sherbrooke, Que., is in process of winding up its affairs having disposed of its mill some time ago. The company is cleaning up the balance of the lumber on hand, which it expects — to accomplish in the near future. The mill of the company is locat- ed at Pine, Ont. F. N.

He is a son of the late Eugene Plant, Inspector | of Bakeries, Vancouver, where ‘he attended school and secured his first job as office boy for the Vancouver Lumber Co. in 1917. He was next promoted to invoice clerk. And later joined the Roy- al Air Force qualifying as a flight-lieutenant.

He has been seven years in the employ of the organization of which his father, L. 'C. Thomas, is secretary. He is succeeded in Toronto by Harry C. Hodgson who for a long period was in the Winnipeg branch. Messrs. Plant and Hodgson will now ‘have charge of Eastern sales ‘for the company. Ralph S. Plant, Toronto Must Pay Higher Rates for Timber New regulations passed by order-in-council in respect to timber have reached the Dominion land office at Edmonton. ‘These refer to small fringes of timber which lie outside the surveyed berths, and which it has not ‘been the custom to survey. Formerly these were sold to the adjoining berth holders at fifty per cent more than the regular dues on the timber held by them, provided the amount of timber were not over 300,000 feet board measure. Under the new ruling this fringe timber will be disposed of to the berth holders at the ordinary rate, while the maximum cut is set down at 500,000 feet. Says Prices Have Advanced Considerably The name of the R. A. R. Allen Lumber Co., of Millbridge, Ont., has been changed to the Allen Lumber Co., and the members of the firm are R. A. R, Allen, T, A. Yong and E. R. Allen. The company, who conduct operations in Hastings County, say they are receiving many inquiries for this time of the year, but are making all their sales by bringing their lists to the buyers. They have been dispos- ing af cars of mixed sizes whitch would have been impossible to sell three months ago and at values which are quite satisfactory. Prices 23% in advance of last July are being offered cheerfully and short terms are being promptly honored. The Allen Lumber Co. say that operating conditions are by no means ideal, there being no water in the swamps but more snow than usual. They are of the opinion that there will be an increase in pro- _ duction over last year of 35 to 40% and so far as their own operations are concerned, they are taking out half a million feet, mostly hard- wood, and in addition will control another mixed million and a half ‘scattered throughout Hastings County at seven or eight mills.

He was the last surviving member of Rixon, Ainslie & Stoddart, which succeeded Maitland & Rixon, _and for several decades looked after their bush operations. The mill of Rixon, Ainslie & Stoddart was in operation for about twenty years and sawed from 8,000,000 to 10,000,000 feet of white and red pine a season. It has been closed about five years and was sold several months ago to Keenan Bros. of Owen Sound, Rixon, Ainslie & Stoddart retaining certain limits. Mr. Ainslie was never married and leaves four nieces and two nephews to mourn his loss. He was an ardent athlete in his younger days, playing with the cricket team of Owen Sound and winning the local championship in sculling contests, _ ‘The funeral of Mr. Ainslie was largely attended, H. Mawson and 5S. R. Anderson, of the firm of Anderson, Shreiner & Mawson, Toronto, were among the many who assembled to pay their last tri- bute of respect to a pioneer lumberman and a loyal, faithful citizen Owen Sound. F ? Another Veteran Lumberman Called Home ry. George Benjamin Campbell, ex M.P.P., passed away recently it Bruce Mines, District of Algoma, Ont. He was the manager of ee tyson Lumber Company’s interests and was born in ley, Que., some seventy years ago. Mr. Campbell who was a er member of the Quebec Legislature for Pontiac County was uunch Conservative, and in the last general election was a contest- or the Federal parliament in the same constituency, but was de- ated. In addition to his widow, Mr. Campbell is survived by three Percy A., of Campbell’s Bay, George Kenneth and Reginald of Eardley. ‘Campbell was known as one of the most expert lumbermen Ottawa Valley. He also took an active interest in Masonry, bit 3 = o.< y CANADA LUMBERMAN © 59 being a 32nd degree Mason. In business, political and fraternal cir- cles he was highly esteemed, and many lumbermen took occasion to pay their last respects to him on the occasion of his funeral in- terment being in Quyon cemetry. The last sad rites were largely attended, the funeral being the most widely attended of any in the history of Pontiac County. Mr. P. D. Gordon Crosses the Bourne The death of Phillip Dodd- ridge Gordon, of Mason, Gordon and Company, Limited, Montreal, on January 16, is a distinct loss to the Western and Eastern lum- ber trade of Canada. He was ill for three weeks. Mr. Gordon was removed to the Royal Vic- toria Hospital on ‘Christmas Day and was immediately operated on; a second operation was _ per- formed on January 6, and from that day he gradually sank, the doctors stating that there was no chance of a recovery. Born in Manilla, Ont., 63 years ago, Mr. Gordon learned the lumber trade in Ontario. He went to Montreal in 1895 where he represented the British Co- lumbia Mills Timber and Trad- ing Company, of Vancouver, B. C. He was in fact one of the pioneers of Western forest pro- ducts in Eastern Canada. He declared that it was very uphill work for a long time, many prejudices having to be overcome, but the fact that B. C. could supply the largest sized timber at very low figures proved strong inducements to try the products, and to see whether the qualities were as claimed. In 1900 ‘Mr. Gordon entered into partnership with Mr. William T. Mason, under the name of Mason, Gordon and Company. They specialized in B. C. wood products, yellow pine and hardwoods. The company continued to represent the British Columbia Mills Timber & Trading Company for fir finish in the province of Quebec and the Maritime provinces, a relation which has lasted until the present day. The trade in Western woods developed in a striking way, with Mr. Gordon and Mr. Mason playing a conspicuous fart in that expansion. In 1905 offices were opened in Vancouver, which are now under the management of Mr. Hubert C. Gordon, the late Mr. Gordon’s oldest son. Mr. Gordon was a likeable man. He held some decided opinions on trade and other matters, but he was able to adduce some strong reasons for the faith that was in him. He frowned upon anything which savoured of the unfair in business methods, and to use the words of an acquaintance was a “clean man.” A believer in the trade association idea, he took a full share in the work of the Canadian Lumbermen’s Association and in the Montreal Lumber Association. He was vice-president of the latter body in 1914, 1915, 1916, and 1917, and president in 1918 and 1919; for two years he was president of the committee of management of the Transportation Bureau of the Montreal Board of Trade, and president in 1921. Apart from business, his chief activity was in connection with Freemasonry, being member of a number of lodges in Canada and the United States and holding high offices in the order. He took a particular interest in the work of the Shriners, and was chairman of the Laws Committee of the Imperial Council of the Mystic Shrine; he also held other positions in the Order. Mr. Gordon is survived by a widow and two sons and four daugh- ters. Messages of regret from all over Canada have been received by the family. At the weekly luncheon of the Montreal Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association on January 17, on the motion of Mr. Filion, seconded by ‘Mr. Fenton, it was unanimously decided to send a message of sympathy with Mrs. Gordon and the family, and to lay a wreath on the grave. Sudden Death of Charles Carew Charles Carew, son of John Carew, ex-M.P.P., and brother of Mayor Frank J. Carew and Arthur Carew, of Lindsay, Ont., all of whom are widely-known in the lumber industry, died recently in that town at the age of 26 years, after two days’ illness from leakage of the heart. Charles was a noted hockey player, a member of sever- al fraternal organizations, as well as the Rotary Club, and popular with a vast circle. For some years he had been associated with the John Carew Lumber Co. The late Charles Carew was a young man who will be greatly missed by a wide circle of friends, The late P. D.

The woodsman was inclined to ascribe these marks to the activities of wood- peckers, while the guess of the botanist was that the “bird’s-eyes” were the traces of dormant buds or shoots. Research into this subject at the Forest Products Laboratories of Canada (Domin-- ion Forestry Branch) points to the conclusion that “bird’s-eye” maple owes its curious and at- tractive appearance to the action of a minute parasitic fungus which lives in the growing tis- sues of the tree. If this conclus- ion is correct, the production of “bird’s-eye” maple by. artificial means does not appear to be out- side the bounds of possibility. New Type of Ski is Developed That the possibilities of the so- called laminated or built-up form of construction for wooden ar- ticles are as yet inadequately re- cognized is pointed out by the Forest Products Laboratories of Canada (Dominion Forestry Branch) Montreal, where inves- tigations in this connection are now in progress. Where the article manufactured requires very high grade material, entirely free from defects, it is obviously easier to secure what is wanted in smaller rather than in larger pieces and the use of several small pieces instead of one large one makes for high quality as well as economy of material. The laminated ski, recently de- veloped at the Laboratories, is a most interesting example of this type of construction. The adhes- ive employed and the method of using it are of the first importance a special waterproof glue is used. 62 CANADA LUMBERMAN Gum, Red 11% x 4 to 12 in.

If there is undue slippage or friction, or if breakdowns occur, these expenses must be charged to the belt. How futile then to buy an inferior belt just because it is a few dollars cheap- er. When money is saved in this way, it is invariably paid out again with interest during the first few weeks run. When you purchase D. K. McLAREN’S Genuine British Oak- Tanned LEATHER BELTING a different story is told. Here you have a belt made only from the back portions of selected hides subjected to the genuine British Oak Tanning process—a slow and expensive process, but one that not only adds to the original toughness of the hide but imparts that wonderful flexibility and “stretchless quality” that means “trouble free” service.

The name has come to be synonymous in the lumber industry with all that is best in ma- chinery. ‘‘Long’’ Band Mills are no exception for they combine all the lat- est features with exceptional strength ~ andaccessibility. The unusually heavy bed consists of one solid casting entire- ly surrounding the machine. All bearings are adjustable longitudinally, laterally and vertically. They are chain-oiling, water-cooled and are all the same size and interchangeable. Quick installation is another desirable feature of the “Long” Band Mill. The columns, which are of very heavy hollow box section, and of unit con- struction, are mounted directly on the base cast- ing. They are held in place by bolts and dowel pins and enclose the lifting screws and operating gears. The bottom is accurately planed. .If you. haven’t our catalogue of mill equipment on file, you should write for it today. It will be gladly sent on request. The E.

Toeliminate every trouble with your Steam Feed Valves install one of these machines. Six Real Reasons for Doing So: 1—Gives the sawyer the easiest kind of control of valve. 2—Hand lever stays put, making them safe against any jerk or kick of valve. 3—Gives the sawyer every confidence in handling valve. 4—Will prevent accidents—is easier on the nerves and car- riage runs steadier. 5—Water flowing into valves from foaming boilers does not fret the sawyer. 6—This relief from all troubles of which sawyers have com plained enables them to give closer attention to the logs they are cutting and a better inspection of the lum- ber they produce. Read what one of the largest !umber companies on the north shore has to say about it.

Hamilton Co., Peterborough, Ont. Gentlemen :— Replying to your inquiry re Prescott Valve Controller, which you sent us last spring to try out: I beg to say that we installed this machine early in April, just previous to start- ing the mills, selecting the most difficult valve we have to handle, the steam having to travel through nearly three hundred lineal feet of Pipe to reach this valve, and noting the fact that the pipes are well covered, there is neces- sarily considerable condensation, and every sawyer knows the annoyance caused by water passing through the valves which violently jars or jerks the lever, sometimes wrenching it from the hand and theréby inflicting serious damage to the machinery of the mill. And now after nearly five months of daily use, I am pleased to tell you that this device has put up all that is claimed for it. There is not the slightest jar or vibration to be felt, - no matter where the lever is held. It is very easily attached and does not interfere in any way with the free movement of the lever, and the Sawyer, Mr. George Botting, also our Foreman, Mr. W. A. Gill, both speak of your controller in the most glowing terms. I can. therefore, congratulate you on securing an article that will fill many a long felt want. Yours truly, (Signed) D. B. Anderson.

The timber behind these mills was purchased many years ago by the Stack interests from the then “unlimited” supply. Its quality, particularly the maple and birch, is the envy of northern mill men among whom this tract is famous. This timber will run the mills to full capacity for fifteen to twenty years. The 40,000,000 feet annual cut will run: 15,000,000 ft. maple annually 6,000,000 ft. birch annually . beech annually . elm annually . basswood annually . ash annually . hemlock annually white pine annually 3, 000, 000 ft. the balance in Spruce and Tamarack. Our exceptional service, grades, and manufacture will be main- tained. “Low freight rate shipments by water to Toronto, Montreal, Owen Sound, Port Arthur, and other Great Lakes and St. Law- rence River Ports. Conveniently located also for rail shipments to inland points by C.P.R. or Soo line.” We will be pleased to hear from old friends and from new ones who can understand and appreciate what permanent connection with such a source of supply would mean.

Judging from available data, the average life of the ordinary steel wire nail, which has been in such common use, is only from seven to twelve years. Some wire nails will last longer, depending upon the condition of exposure, climate and similar features, but considering our climate as a whole, at the end of from seven to twelve years a large percentage of wire nails will have rusted either completely through or so extensively that the first strong wind will complete the work. The shingles that have been held in position by such nails — are then free to work down, permitting rains or melting snows to leak through and damage the interior of the structure. Examination will disclose that the fibre of the shingle itself is still in perfect condition, and a leaky roof, in the majority of occasions is due entirely to the use of faulty nails, but the average home owner, placed at such inconvenience, will not stop to reason this out and the poor wooden shingle comes in for more unjust abuse. There are several kinds of nails which experience has proven will give lasting satisfaction, and the wise dealer will advise his customers of these satisfactory nails. A pure zinc shingle nail meets all the demands of durability required. Its principal drawback is its high cost and a slight tendency to bend under careless driving. Galvanized wire nails theoretically are rust proof, and if the galvanized coating is properly applied, and of sufficient thickness, such a nail will last as long as the shingle it holds in place. The life of this shingle roof, properly applied with these nails then is from 40 to 50 years. Pure iron nails, or the old cut or wrought nails are ideal but difficult to secure. Copper nails also constitute a perfect shingle nail. Timms Phillips & Co., Ltd. Vancouver Lumber Co., Ltd.

It is agreed that a machine, when suitably _ sheltered, will give double the wear and service than one not pro- perly housed. Of course, much depends upon the mechanism, wheth- er it is complicated, easily gets out of order or is sensitive in its operation; for instance, the Ohio State University some time ago conducted an investigation regarding the average life of various implements when housed and when not housed. Here is the result obtained by a questionnaire sent out to two hundred farmers, and the figures represent the farmers’ own estimate of the value of the care of implements :— When Not Housed Housed RIEiO EES) As...

In a recent letter to the “Canada Lumberman,” the sales man- ager for the Massey-Harris Co., Toronto who has given consider- able attention to the subject of the proper housing of farm imple- ments, comprehensively sums up the Situation as follows:—We _ have never made any attempt to figure this up closely on our own account, although roughly we have found that implements will last if cared for at all properly on an average of ten years. Generally _ speaking, farmers in Eastern Canada have come to realize, more so _ than their brothers in the West, the advisability of keeping their im- _ plements under cover, and in the East it is the exception for farmers to leave implements out of doors the year around. On the other hand, while we believe that the Western farmers appreciate the _ value of properly housing their implements, owing to the scarcity or expense of the necessary lumber, etc., it is the exception in the West to have implements properly housed. This is a situation, ’ however, which obtained in the East years ago and has been gradu- ally bettered, and for this reason we believe that this feature is be- ing gradually bettered in the West and it will in time come to be the rule that Western farmers house their implements. Much more might be written on this subject, the avenue which opens out for the retail lumber dealer to get busy, extend his ac- - é x By" fis ae ae ge f phew a \ quaintanceship and widen his sales. Armed with the facts which have been presented regarding how it pays to house machinery, the lumber merchant would have no difficulty in selling more and more material for implement sheds. He will point out that, if it is im- portant to-grow crops, it is also important to save them and the harvest cannot be properly grown and garnered without the aid of efficient machinery in a good state of repair. : * The cost of an implement shed, according to one well4+known Ontario retail lumber dealer, J: B. Mackenzie, of Georgetown, de- pends, of course, upon the size of the structure. They are made generally in 16-foot length units such as 32, 48 or 64 feet, and 20 to 22 feet wide, and built with a cement wall on three sides with cem- ent posts where doors divide in front. The frames are made of 2 inch plank. .The outside is boarded with 1 x 12 cedar shiplap 8 fee Al iz a a a YW ; Eero AMM LMP MESO OAS tee Pe FALE ALLY LE ALY y way N oy Th ; Q i hi Aller — ——— Hi = RTT UT UT TTT NS Interior of a modern implement shed long, put upright.

Mo inet: The cost of material at most any yard in Ontario would be about $225.00 for a 32-foot length shed; $285.00 for a 48-foot length shed and $335.00 for a 64-foot length shed. The hardware for the building would cost about $20.00 to $40.00 according to the style of door fittings. . oe va In regard to the outlay for carpenter work for an average-sized implement shed, such as is shown in the illustration, a well-known retail lumber dealer estimates that it would cost a farmer about $96. the farmer to board the men and provide the cement for the founda: _ tion wall. So ha In some of his advertising, Mr. Mackenzie calls attention to the — (Continued on page 48) ” Poca * MT ae , J ea ~~ 7 ee The members of the Wood- lands Section of the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association met at the Ritz-Carlton hotel, with Mr. R. P. Kernan of the Donna- cona Paper Co. in the chair. In his address, Mr, Kernan pointed out that the section was mainly interested in the commer- cial end of the industry—in log- ging methods and improved cut- ting methods. He was of the opinion that the section had not made the desired progress, al- though good work had been done in some directions. This was due, he felt, through a lack of co-ordination, and the only solu- tion was the appointment of a permanent secretary, a trained man, who could devote all. his time to the working out of their problems—one who could help all the mills in all their problems. Mr. Ellwood Wilson, of the Laurentide Company, spoke on “Progress of Research Work in _ Forestry in Canada.” In the past research work had been along the lines of pure science, but the day was coming when it would be on a broader basis. He remarked upon the vital necessity of having a definite idea of a problem before attempting its solution. In woods - operation a lot of time was lost because of the inclination to let a problems solve themselves. In the Woodlands Section problems would become more and more pressing and unless these were tac- _-kled in a business-like way, it would mean the loss of considerable a Mr. Wilson instanced driving operations and remarked upon the greater efficiency in Norway and Sweden as compared with _ Canada. It was essential to get at basic facts, and the proposed ap- ‘ pointment of a permanent secretary would help very considerably in SAS direction. ROP: Koran, Donnacona, Que. Retiring Chairman Woodlands Section ( . oe x Progress Made in Cost Accounting “Cost Accounting for Logging Operations,” was the subject of a paper by Mr. L. W. Campbell, chief accountant of the Laurentide Company. He referred to the previous lack of information in this - connection and Mr. G. A. Ware, of Price, Waterhouse & Co., was Bicatestcd to draw up and submit a uniform method of cost account- - ing for logging operations to a committee formed of representatives _ from Price Bros. & Co., Spanish River Pulp & Paper Co., St. Mau- rice Paper Co., International Paper Co., Abitibi Power & Paper Co., and Laurentide Co. A plan was submitted and endorsed by the com- ‘ mittee and appeared in booklet form last June, It contained sample forms and names of accounts with instructions for handling them. _ Two large companies have installed systems based on this plan and _ both were quite pleased with the results obtained. a” Mr. Campbell described briefly a few of the reports compiled by ‘the Accounting Department of one company for the use of its Wood- inds Manager and District Superintendents. First, monthly and accumulative statements of the cutting and uling costs, showing quantities, expenditure and unit costs in de- There was no uniform measuring stick for determining cutting ts.

A comparison of this ith h the contract rates would indicate whether the superin- CANADA LUMBERMAN - 37 Cost Accounting Plan in Logging Activities System Ably Outlined Before Woodlands Section at its Annual Meeting—How _ Several Firms Have Been Enabled to Reduce Expenses in Bush Operations tendent should close the jobber off, or allow him further credit for the continuance of his operations. This particular statement showed the condition of each jobber’s account up to the end of any month, but, if the superintendent desired, he might obtain from the district accountant the standing of any jobber’s account up to the end of the preceding day. Third, statement showing cost per meal as served in each camp or boarding house. This expense was divided under Foodstuff, Labor and Miscellaneous and showed monthly as well as accumu- lative costs. The cost of feeding men was a very important factor in the cost of wood production. "This year it was estimated that the cost of meals would equal an amount of 40 per cent of the direct woodlands payroll. Fourth, Stable Costs: Statement showing cost per horse meal in each camp under heading of fodder, labor and miscellaneous. It also showed proportion of idle time which if great would indicate poor care of horses, or that the camp had more horses than required. Fifth, Supplies: Perpetual inventory ledgers were used to re- port supply transactions. A statement was compiled monthly show- ing the total value of supplies in the districts. It showed amount of supplies purchased and transferred from one point to another. It also recorded the value of supplies sold to jobbers, to employees and supplies used for company operations, as well as the value and par- ticulars of goods that have been spoiled or depreciated. Subsidiary statements, which tied up with the foregoing were available which showed the value of supplies in each hangar under the following headings :—Provisions, tools and equipment, hardware and miscel- laneous, table and cooking utensils, néw and spare harness parts, clothing, dry goods, medical and toilet articles. All Prepared in Standardized Form There were many advantages to be obtained by this method of recording supplies. It reduced cost of operations by allowing the superintendent to carry the minimum quantity of supplies necessary for the carrying on of operations, thus reducing working capital and cost of insurance on goods, and loss by spoilage or depreciation. It plainly showed what articles were moving slowly in the van accounts and therefore unpopular with the men and in many cases should not be carried in stock. All of these monthly statements were available for the district superintendent within two or three days after the close of each month, Copies of all figures were sent to head office from each dis- trict or division. They were all prepared in standardized form and consolidated on a comparative statement for the use of the Wood- lands manager. In view of the need of the accountants for accurate data and the need of the logging operators for accurate costs and statistics to enable them to cut costs, why could they not get to- gether on this plan? According to reports, 3,750,000 cords of wood were consumed by the requirements of the paper industry alone in the United States and Canada necessitating a yearly expenditure for logging operations of over $50,000,000.00. Let them suppose that by the use of this plan or by any other means, costs were cut by 2 per cent. This would result in the saving to the industry each year of $1,000,000.00. New scientific logging methods were being advanced each year; some would suit their conditions and some might not. Why not have a cost system that will tell at the end of the season whether the change was advantageous or not? Wood at present represented 50 per cent of the cost of a ton of paper. Due to the increasing demand for newsprint more and more wood must be cut each year and, as men were becoming more and more unwilling to go to the bush when anything else offered, it would appear that logging costs must steadily increase. They were face to face with this great problem of increasing costs. Let them put their house in order now and rob the blow of some of its sting by adopting methods that will allow them to watch and check care- fully every dollar spent in woodland operations. Great Waste in Woods Operation Considerable discussion followed on the points raised, the chair- man referring to the great waste in the woods operation and the difficutty of obtaining accurate data under adverse conditions. But the problems would have to be solved. Mr. Ellwood Wilson sug- gested that the proper location of roads was a point to be considered and that culling, too, was a matter requiring investigation, especially having regard to the discrepancies often revealed by check culling. A At the afternoon session Dr. J. S. Bates, Bathurst Co., Limited, | 13 read a paper on “How Far Can the Pulp Mill Go in Utilizing Decay- ed, Insect-killed, or other Inferior Wood in the Manufacture of Pulp.” He came to the conclusion that it was safe to say that infected wood, which was still fairly firm and retained its fibrous appearance, would be suitable for making pulp and paper within certain limits. Any ~~ wood that was very soft, punky, or lacking in fibrous structure was undoubtedly too far gone to bother with in the pulp-mill and should be left in the woods or used for fuel in the boiler plant.

The : conference held at the Mount Royal Hotel, Montreal, on January ' _ 23rd-brought together a very large number of lumbermen, represen- __tatives of pulp and paper companies and foresters from all parts of ; the province. Naturally the subjects discussed all held a bearing on the protection of the forests, but incidentally points of a more gen- eral character were brought out. = In a brief address, Mr. S. L. de Carteret, the president, indicated - that progress had been made during the year, and he specially re- ferred to the forest permit system of the Provincial Government, which had come to stay. Mr. G. Piche, the chief forester of Quebec province, took the place of the Hon. H. Mercier, Minister of Lands and Forests. Mr. _- Piche read a comprehensive paper on “Our Forests.” He remarked _ upon the extensive cutting of the big logs years ago and said it was not uptil 1900 that the mills had taken to use the small logs of a lesser diameter or of an inferior quality. The destruction by in- sects and fungi was enormous, and he was certain that the propor- tion of rot in the logs made to-day was so large that the percentage of good qualities of lumber turned out by some mills did not amount to more than one-third of the total output. If they added to all the adverse conditions, the fact that the huge mills established in the Province required enormous quantities of wood every year, it be- came evident that the situation required a careful survey. The situation was so serious that the present holdings of the companies would be exhausted inside of 20 years if they did not reduce their _ cut and purchase elsewhere the quantities of wood required. “os Preventing Destruction of Forest Wealth ii é Mr. Piche then discussed various methods to prevent destruction ey of forest wealth. He pointed to the legislation of the Provincial Government, incidentally mentioning that the railway companies had greatly strengthened their fire-fighting forces. The fires in the Province were getting more dangerous on account of the increasing quantities of slash accumulated by lumbering operations, and this question should be faced at once. In the past the majority of the __ lumbermen had been occupied mainly with the improvement of their __ manufacturing processes, taking great care to produce the highest _ quality at the lowest cost: however they discovered that each year é _ the cost of the logs increased while the average contents of the logs _diminished and, in many cases, the savings made in the mills were more than eaten up by the increased cost of the wood. ‘These facts compelled them to give more attention to the forest problem. Each “company should know exactly the quantities of wood it possessed _ upon the limits and what was the annual capacity of the forests it _ controlled. Without these facts operations were conducted at ran _ dom and that was why many companies found themselves before a - ‘Situation more serious than they suspected. : _ The Government had passed a law obliging the operators to _ make inventories of their holdings, to present working plans, so that __ the amount of the annual cut could be regulated according to the __ productivity of the forest.

This new system had been tried this winter in various localities and appeared to be giving complete .. satisfaction. Ro Paar ane Dh = ’ Public Concern in Fire Protection 4 2 “Why is Forest Protection Necessary” was dealt with ‘trom ° 44 various angles. Dr. C. D. Howe, University of Toronto, read ass paper viewing the subject from the forester’s point of view. He re- marked that the operator was principally concerned in protecting the merchantable lumber, while from the forester’s standpoint thie. om protection of the cut-over and burned-over lands is much more im- portant than the protection of standing timber. There was little — doubt that forest fires were the chief factors in the deterioration of _ soil fertility and the repeated fire was again the most destructive agent. And this again, also indicated the importance of effective — fire protection on areas that did not carry merchantable timber. __ There were more than 100,000 people in Canada at work con-, | verting the forest products into wealth in some form or other. They were chiefly heads of families or the bread winners of families, thus representing probably a half million people dependent ‘upon th cba nes " When they considered the area actually under li oe wood concession, the amount expended on it as a w less than one cent per acre per year.

Vol. 43 Toronto, February 15, 1923 No. 4 ; Getting Busy on Repair Work \ February is a time when-the lumber retailer may well look around, size up conditions for the approaching season and take stock of what business is likely to develop. In the rural sections there may not be many new structures in the offering, owing to the fact that farmers are getting a low price for their produce and live stock and most of them do not feel like launching out on a large structural scale until they receive a return for their goods that will bear com- _ parison with what they have to pay for other requisites. They con- tend that the latter have not come down in price nearly as rapidly nor to the same extent as have the products of the soil. __ There is always, however, a large amount of repair work done in every community early in the year and this may be well sought by the retail lumberman. He should impress upon the farmer that it is false economy to allow his buildings to fall into decay or dilapi- _ dation or his roofs to become leaky and old. It is a short-sighted poli- _ cy for any yeoman to follow, and it should not require much per- _ Ssuasion on the part of the retail dealer to sell most any farmer some lumber for such depressing needs as repairs. Of course this cannot ‘be accomplished by the dispenser of wood products sitting around his office chatting or smoking all day, com- _ plaining of affairs going to the bow-wows and conditions being bot- _ tom-side up, at this period of the year. He must get out and make calls and become acquainted with the wants of the surrounding coun- try. By venturing out in this direction and in that and meeting peo- ple, he soon begins to hear of things of interest which will no doubt, lead to future business. Then some attractive and efifective literature, with catchy head- ings, might also get in its leavening process. “Make those repairs now,” “Get Busy Before the Spring Rush Sets in,’ “Don’t Neglect that Roof until it is too Late,’ “The Longer the Delay, the Greater the Cost,” etc. These points should tbe driven home and the effec- dive announcement also made that repairs and alterations can be car- ried out when the weather permits, and the occasion to make them is when not in a hurry or rushed with other work. The proper time for the farmer to conduct such operations is between his busy seasons. = ¢ Qn. i The repair business is one that is too frequently neglected. While the orders may seem small, in the aggregate they amount to a great deal, and where a farmer secures his 2 x 4’s and 2 x 6’s as _ well as his rough lumber for renovations, he is also going to make é heavier purchases when requiring anything in the way of dressed __ stock, timbers, interior or exterior trim, flooring, etc. There are _ some farmers who are inclined to procrastinate on the principle that Bs to-morrow will do for making repairs as well as today. They should ad educated that there is no time like the present and that the old ¢ al > @ $e4 a CANADA LUMBERMAN , is ‘tion, which was held in Montreal, and the Ontario Retail Lumber Pie Gh “, * wy F _ * ~~ ot) ce aphorism of “A stitch in time saves nine,” terminology as in a sartorial sense. in Another service that the dealer can make known is that “no job is too small to receive prompt attention.” It may ‘be that some cedar posts, several bundles of lath, a bunch or two of shingles anda few boards make up only a comparatively trivial transaction, but the purchase will establish a link between dealer and consumer that — will, no doubt, develop later into larger business relations. It is not alone upon present turnover that expanding ‘businesses are created _ but upon potentialities of demand in the days to come. It is neces- — sary for the retailer to have not only courage and initiative, but also imagination, visualizing what his town or his district will be five — or ten years from now and seeing in prospect the new homes, ‘barns, innumerable garages, stables, etc., which will dot the surface of the ~ township in which he does business. as) The retailer must feel that he is a part of the constituency in — which he resides; that anything, which benefits the community at large, will result in, advantage to him, and vice versa. He should realize that he is a community builder and should see far ‘beyond the mere taking in of so much cash. Let him establish a name and standing that are worth while. Of course, it will require work and pluck and persistency, but was anything worth while ever won that did not involve or entail action, thought, labor and zeal? > ae is as true in building iy 7 ” 7 Conventions that Got Somewhere The annual conventions of the Canadian Lumberman’s Associa- ; Dealers’ Association, which took place at Windsor, are now matters of history. Both were successful from the standpoint of attendance, interest, instruction and pleasure. Each gathering struck a new high note in outlook and achievement, and the members felt that basic conditions in the lumber trade are much better than they have been for years and that the future is encouraging. While the horizon > is not as clear as the noon-day sun, owing the the European situa- tion, still there are fewer spectres and with a stabilization of prices” and an increased output to meet the call for forest products heard on all sides, there should be better results all around for the manu- facturer, wholesaler and retailer. , Reports of the proceedings of the conventions which are appear- — ing in this and the next issue of the “Canada Lumberman,” are well worth a perusal as they afford an indication of what the lumbermen bodies are doing and demonstrate their worth and usefulness in the upbuild and expansion of Canada’s pioneer industry. In the selection of Angus McLean, of Bathurst, N.B., as presi- dent of the Canadian Lumbermen’s Association, a tribute has been paid to a worthy citizen and progressive operator of the East who has long been prominently associated, not only with the lumber calling, ‘but with pulp and paper activities. Mr. McLean will make a splendid presiding officer and a capable successor to A, E. Clark, of Toronto. Under his guiding hand the C.L.A. should enjoy a year of progress and development and make its influence and prestige more widely known and recognized. The new head of the Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Associa- tion is K. J. Shirton, of Dunnville. He has been active in season . and out of season in Association work and has never lost an oppor- tunity to promote friendship, fellowship, co-operation and unity. His elevation to the highest office in the gift of the organization has been well earned. J. C. Scofield, of Windsor, was a live wire chief who kept things on the move, and Mr. Shirton will, no doubt, prove as active and aggressive in filling his shoes, Much more might be said upon the benefit to be obtained from attending conventions such as the C.L.A and the O.R.L.D.A. It is to be regretted that the membership of these bodies does not em- brace everyone connected with the industry. They are in every way commendable and wide awake institutions who are seeking to do the highest good and render service in every possible way. Both bodies will, no doubt, witness large accessions to their ranks during the coming year. Active campaigns will be conducted to gather in the ranks those, who should be identified with institutions of such a forward character and wholesome influence. oi a 4 The arbitration board hhas awarded $651,484 to the Chicoutimi — Pulp Company, Limited, under policies with thirty-two insurance companies for loss sustained through the fire which on July 8th last destroyed about 28,000 tons of mechanical pulp in the Chicoutimi Company's yards at Port Alfred, near Ha Ha Bay. The Chicoutimi Pulp Company claimed $1,010,201.31 fire in- surance, but the insurance companies considered the demands made on the policies were too high, and arbitration was resorted to. a. The majority report considered the value of the property in- sured was $743,306 and amount of salvage $91,822. This left $651,- 484 as the amount of loss by fire, and constituted _the court majority’s award to the claimants. ee int da diligence oti . es tbe berate 4 The Committee on Legislation presented a brief report at the C. L.A. Convention in Montreal which was as follows:- The principal subject which has engaged the attention of your Committee during the past year was in connection with the propos- al of the Ontario Government to do away with the Doyle Rule and substitute therefor a content measurement. We regarded the pro- _ posal as being distinctly inimical to the interests of the lumber trade _ of the country, and whilst the suggestion was confined to the pro- vince, still it was regarded by your Committee as being of very _ yital importance to every lumberman in the country. Over thirty firms were represented at a meeting held in Toronto on November F 8th and 9th, 1922, during which time the whole matter was thorough- ly discussed and a memorandum drawn up and presented to the Prime Minister of the Province and his colleagues, including the Minister of Lands and Forests, November 9th. The result was that the Prime Minister plainly stated that in so far as existing licenses were concerned there would be no change unless it were by mutual agreement. Our president, Mr, A. E. Clark, suggested that a small committee of the lumber interests might be appointed to confer with the Provincial Government on matters pertaining to lumbering op- erations. The Honorable Prime Minister agreed with this and stated j that he would be glad if Mr. Clark would name such a Committee, and on November 10th letters were written to the Honorable E..C. _ Drury and Honorable Beniah Bowman, naming the following gentle- men :—_ John Black, J. R. Booth, Ltd., Ottawa; W. E. Bigwood, Graves,» Bigwood & Co. Byng Tales. Den MeLachtin, Melachilin Bros. _Ltd., Arnprior; Z. Mageau, } Mageau Lumber Co. Ltd., Field; Hon. Geo. Gordon, Geo. Gordon & eo CacHe Bay.; G.B. Nicholson, Aus- ‘tin & Nicholson, Chapleau; J. J. McFadden, McFadden & Malloy, | Blind River. z It was later suggested that the name of Mr. Geo. Gray, Supt. of ‘the Spanish River Pulp and Paper Mills Ltd., Sault Ste. Marie, be added to this Committee, and the Honorable Ministers were advised accordingly. This was the full year’s report of the department, presented by -R. L. Sargant, Transportation Manager of the C.L.A., and dealt with a number of old and new subjects, including reduction in _ freight rates on lumber between points in Canada, demurrage, sur- _ charge on freight charge, the proposed new rating on box shooks and told how carriers had instructed agents to reduce the charges to _ the basis of lumber rate and lumber minimum on any shipments on _ which the charges had been previously collected on the basis of the ib — 10th class rate. An important clause in the report was on the transit arrange- “ment on lumber at Canadian National Railway stations in Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. It reads as follows:—We have = been successful in coming to an arrangement with the Canadian ~ National Railways for the application of as transit arrangement to ply on traffic moving locally between points on the Canadian a National, East of St. Rosalie Junction, Que., in the provinces of Bees, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, also Prince Edward Island. This arrangement was not previously published to apply on traffic moving locally between points in the Maritime provinces and as there pppeared to be considerable need for the arrangement __we ask the Canadian National to publish it and they agreed but in- timated that the charge for the stop-off would be 2 cents per hun- dred pounds. This was not quite satisfactory to us inasmuch as the angement providing for stop-off at points in Ontario, etc., only ried a stop-off chgree of one cent per 100 pounds, and after con- ‘ siderable correspondence on the subject it was agreed that the stop-off charge should only be one cent per 100 pounds. We sin- cerely trust that the adoption of this arrangement in the Maritime provinces will be of considerable: assistance to our members in that = CANADA LUMBERMAN ‘ “4 Reports Submitted at C.L.A. Gathering We have no further communication from the Provincial Govern- ment in connection with this matter. WORKMEN’S COMPENSATION.—There have been no changes in connection with this matter by the Provincial Govern- ments, but the Labor Gazette of December 22nd, 1922, reports a meeting of the Association of Workmen’s Compensation Boards of gates At their fourth annual meeting held at Edmonton, Alta., they adopted the following resolutions, — 1. That in all provinces where there is a Workmen’s Compen- sation Board it is advisable that all accident prevention measures should be centralized and enforced by such Board. 2. That there should be no “clerical exclusions” under Work- ‘men’s Compensation Acts and that no separate rate should be ap- plied to clerical workers, 3. That every Provincial Act should make provision for the rehabilitation of crippled workmen. 4. That it should not be necessary for Boards to give notice be- fore entering judgment with respect to an overdue assessment under a W orkmen’ s Compensation Act and that Boards should have authority to enter judgment for an overdue assessment by filing a certificate in the manner provided in the Acts of Ontario, Nova Scotia, British Columbia and Manitoba. Your attention is called to the fact that at the last annual meet- ing of the Trades and Labor Congress it was unanimously adopted to “demand the increase in compensation to the full one hundred per cent instead of as at present. In the province of Ontario the record for 1922 is as follows,— “There were 50,411 accidents reported to the Ontario Work- men’s Compensation Board in 1922, as against 45,191 in 1921, an in- crease of 5,220. The fatal accidents increased from 386 to 418. The number of accidents reported daily averaged 168 in 1922, as against 151 in 1921. Total claims paid in 1922 were $5,692,896.” _| Transportation Department Arena—Things done io | and Yet to Do hand with the carriers on which the department is either suggesting adjustment in the rates or the publication of satisfactory through rates. Some of the subjects still open with the C.P.R. and the G.T.R. system were then outlined in the report as follows:—Through rates | from points of the Dominion Atlantic Railways to Canadian and United States destination. Adjustment in rates to points in Michigan, Ohio, etc. The C.P.R. are at the present time working on a revision of their tariffs providing for rates on lumber and forest products to points in the United States, and it is expected that these tariffs, or at least one of them, will be issued very shortly and will provide for satis- factory rates to destinations in Michigan, Ohio, etc. Through rates to and from points on the Quebec Central Rail- way where through rates are not already provided: G.T.R.—(1) Rates from Grand Trunk Railway stations to points in Michigan, Ohio, etc. (2) Re-adjustment in the rates to the United States points from G. T. Stations competitive with the C.P.R. where it is found that the.G. Ts rates are out of line, In conclusion, Mr. Sargant referred to the proposed reduced rates for annual meetings, which he hoped to have effected by next year’s convention dates. It was necessary to have 150 persons us- ing a special arrangement in order to obtain reduced fares for the delegates and others accompanying delegates. HANDLING CLAIMS.—During the past year we have handl- ed two kinds of claims those which have been filed by the claimant and then declined by the carrier and finally turned over to us for further attention and those which were filed direct by this Depart- ment on ‘behalf of the claimant. It was not until the last three or four months of 1922, that we were given an opportunity of handling any quantity of these claims. The total of claims collected, is there- fore, small, only amounting to $277.44 but, there are claims to the amount of $855.97 still open with the carriers, with very good pros- pects of collecting all of them. This service has been performed without extra charge to our members but, as the work increases and it is found necessary to em- ploy additional help to carry out the service successfully, a small charge will be made in proportion to the amount of the claim ac- tually collected. CHECKING RAILWAY FREIGHT BILLS.—This subject has been brought to the attention of our members several times since your Transportation Department was formed and up to the end of 1922, only about fifteen members had taken advantage of this branch ot the service. We have checked quite a number of freight bills for these members and as a matter of fact we have discovered some $1,063.40 in overcharges and have submitted sufficient data covering each overcharge to enable the member to make his claim on the carrier. The largest of overcharges found for any one member was $839.19, the other amounts for different members ranging from $60.00 to as low as $.36. No doubt this branch of the service given by your Transportation Department can be of considerable assistance to you and the service is being performed without extra charge until such time as we can prove that the arrangement is of material benefit to our members. The work under this branch of the service is increas- ing rapidly as we have at the present time some hundreds of expense bills for checking and expect to be in a position to make considerable headway with them during the next month or six weeks. If, within the next three or four months we find that this branch of the service : R. L. Sargant, Ottawa, Ont. Transportation Manager of C.L.A. has proved of material benefit to those using it, some arrangement will be made whereby a charge will be assessed for the work in pro- _ portion to the amount of the claims actually collected from the carrier. A EMBARGOES AND CAR SUPPLY.—We have devoted con- siderable time to the subject of car supply and embargoes and it was only by keeping in close touch with the carriers and also with the Railway Association of Canada, that we have been able to come to the assistance of our members who gave us the opportunity of do- ing something for them in these matters. The car shortage has to some extent been relieved and we look for a still greater improve- ment in this respect from now on. The embargoe situation is still a very aggravated one, showing very little improvement, this is a situation which neither the shippers nor the carriers in Canada can control but we feel certain that our friends on the other side of the line are doing everything possible to relieve the existing conditions, and we do know that they are being given all possible assistance by the Canadian Carriers in this matter.

CANADA LUMBERMAN By Scrutator I was reading in the “Canada Lumberman” a few weeks ago about this big retail lumber dealers convention to be held at Windsor. mill business up in this neck of land for twenty-five years without the help of any association and I guess another twenty-five would see me just as well off. But I got reading bits out of the lumber magazine and about this gang of retailers going to have a convention down It said that every retail lumber dealer in On- tario was invited to come and bring his family, and told all about the sights to see in Detroit. “Right there I decided to I couldn’t take 7em all because there’s four around our establishment. Be- sides I wasn’t sure how this convention was going to suit me. There’s a lot of stories going, about fellows sitting around smoking cheap cigars and spending most of the time cussing the government, wholesalers and manufacturers and trying to tell one other how they should run their business. I’m going to be frank, this trip. down to Windsor appealed to me more as a mid-winter holiday. me I fixed everything at the mill so that things would run smoothly for three or four days and slipped out of town -on the six forty. When the train was pulling out of town and I saw old Ned Cross, my competitor, working in his yard, a guilty feeling came over me like the fellow who was for Christmas. letting the other man do all the work. But I got thinking that this was the first holiday for me in three years and no matter what good came of it, it was a day or two off anyway. This kind of cheered me up and I went into the smoking room and lit up one of those cigars Charlie Willis gave me By nature I’m not gabby with strangers, but I got chatting with a fellow in there who was good com- _ pany and before long we were talking lumber and found we were bound for the same place. This fellow was already a member of this Retail Association and from the way he went on about this convention, you would actually think that -ustial going on. one could enjoy themselves at it. The First Impressions on Arrival When we arrived at Windsor there was something un- I never saw so many people standing around doing nothing. The streets were lined as if there was a parade going to happen. At first the clerk in the hotel (it was a new one, called the Prince Edward) didn’t want to give us any accommodation, said they were full up. But my partner informed him that we were with the retail lumber dealers’ convention. He brightened up when he heard that as if somebody had supplied the lumber for the ‘building free, and told one of those nigger boys to show us to room 809. When we were getting straightened away up in the room I noticed there was a solemn cortage going on down in the street and just then my partner, who was read- ing a Windsor daily newspaper, said it was the funeral of the late C. W. Kennedy, Minister of Railways, and the whole city was out to pay him its last respects. - When we got downstairs again, there was Willy King, our prime minister and the rest of the Ottawa cabinet stand- ing around the lobby. My partner introduced me to his retailer friends and we registered with the secretary. On the mezzanine floor of the hotel, a number of manufacturers had exhibits including Bird & Son, of Hamilton, prepared roofing; Laminated Materials, Ltd., New Westminster, B.C., plywood manufacturers; Laidlaw-Belton Lumber Co., Sarnia, displaying an attractive line of doors; Seaman, Kent Co., _ Toronto, hardwood flooring and the B.C. Lumber Com- missioner, 51 Yonge St., Toronto. My partner was anxious to see the new plan service of the association so we looked in at that too. Those fellows _ certainly had some nice illustrated plans with the materials - Bi - required and corresponding prices which they guarantee. My friend ordered the service on the spot and since then I’ve sent in my order too. If I don’t make these contractors Now I’ve been doing a lumber and planing ~ was so difficult when business was done on this basis. around here eat out of my hand I’m mistaken. A few of those flashy billboards around town will earn an announce- ment from the Methodist pulpit. Getting off to Splendid Start At two o’clock there was a big crowd in the convention hall of the hotel and everybody seemed anxious to get start- ed. The meeting was opened when Rev. Robt, Bennie, of Leamington, led the dealers in prayer which was followed by Mayor “Wilson, of Windsor, who welcomed them to the Border Cities. The president of the association, Mr. Sco- field, was the next speaker, I was informed by my friend. After he had finished -his short address I felt there was something being overlooked when I wasn’t a member of an association with a president who could talk like that. But I was only starting to see light. Subsequently the business reports were read and the president asked F. B. VanDusen of Brockville to lead a discussion on trade ethics. Before then, I had only a faint idea what ethics repre- sented to retail lumber dealers, but it’s clear now. There were some ideas presented that made a fellow like me won- der how I had nerve to go on by myself without helping to untangle the natural difficulties of the trade. One gentle- man read a list of materials telling how a consumer had inquired for a price on them from ten dealers in western Ontario. The vast difference in quotations sent to him would seem to answer the question why the public are skeptical about lumber prices. Most of the men who spoke on the different subjects introduced themselves when they got on their feet, and let me know what part of the land they hailed from. Ed. Rathbone, Toronto, said that many dealers used their hemlock as a bait, selling it at cost in order in order to draw the millwork business. No wonder a uniform frice John C. Gilchrist, Toronto, said he went to three men to buy iron piping and each one gave him the same price. This illustrates how other lines of industry are co-operating toward uni- formity in business practice. Of course, such close prices are not possible in the lum- ber industry: but methods could be a whole lot more uniform with a little co-operation. Just about this time I was think- ing if all the discussions were as good as this one why I might stay another day. E. C. Russell, of Walkerville, thought that standard sizes would be a big help in making a more uniform price. The next speaker was C. M. Canfield of Bird & Son, Hamilton, who told us about how they make prepared roofing. Thus ended the first day and I went down and told that boy at the desk that I would be in room 809 for another day. Greater Need for Accident Prevention The next day the hall was crowded again at ten o’clock and the secretary read a paper on insurance and compensa- tion which explained where the majority of accidents happen- ed around the yard and factory and the necessary steps that would relieve the risk of injury to the employees. This was interesting to me, for just a few weeks back one of my men injured his hip and was on the shelf for a couple of weeks. The next discussion was one that I had never really given much thought and the ideas presented interested me greatly. It was a talk on financing home construction led by S. Herath of Ojibway. He said that Canada needed 52,000 homes each year at a cost of $2,000,000 and was far behind her necessary building programme. The average per- son found it difficult to obtain the credit, at a moderate cost, to build a home and the thought of a mortgage frightened many prospects away. He explained why building and loan associations couldn’t be operated in Canada at present. Corporations of this kind were required by law to have a capital of $300,000 with $100,000 paid up. In the United States a $5,000 building and loan association was protected SR 4 ; Seeley ye \ Og eC, ie eae eet 43 az ss | Shenae Goes to the Windsor—— - Convention He suggested that the Ontario govern- by the government. ment should be approached to amend the law so that this great industry could strike its stride. He said forty other allied industries would be interested in associations of_ this kind. In explaining the system of building and loan asso- ciations, he said a man joining was given expert advice as to size of home he should undertake. It was a general rule that a man should only undertake a home that would cost two and a half times his annual income. This would be an improvement over some housing schemes we have had ex- perience with. \ What the Detroiters are Doing After the morning session the president told us we were all invited to have luncheon with the Border Chamber of Commerce. George Howenstein, secretary-manager of the Detroit Lumber Dealers’ Association, addressed the memebrs and retailers and outlined the ideals of the association in the city across the river. He emphasized that price fixing was not a part of their programme whatsoever, as the public seemed to think. On the contrary it was in the best interests of the retailer to protect his customers from speculators, who, in good times, strive to obtain an unfair profit. They also, as a body, study economic practice, efficient cost meth- ods and try to give their patrons an idea of how prices will fluctuate, for them to purchase accordingly. Mr. Howenstein also added that those who were waiting for lower prices in order to build cheaply were letting the best period slip by. “Prices can hardly drop now,” said the secretary, “in fact we are looking for a sharp rise during the first six months of this year.” He also stated that Detroit dealers have large stocks on hand, bought at last year’s prices and so will be able to protect their customers against the anticipated ad- vance. “That is how we try to work,” he concluded. 5 Believe me that was one nice noon hour and I came away 59 feeling particularly fit to listen at the afternoon session. At . two we got started again. ,[ had been hearing and reading a lot about cost accounting systems before coming to the 5 convention, but most of them wera too elaborate for my . business. M. R. Bogart, of Chatham, was chairman of the discussion and explained how cost keeping had nothing to do with the amount of profit made, but was merely a safeguard from selling below cost. One of the members said he had 4 installed a special cost system but it was not suited to his ; size of business. F. B. Van Dusen, of Brockville, explained ; the cost system his son, H. F, Van Dusen, had installed for him. They kept job sheets with the amount of material, the number of hours of each man working on the job, which showed the exact cost of each operation. Mr. Van Dusen stated, however, that the factory to him was a necessary evil and he would gladly be rid of it. ‘ Knowing Where Business Stands Daily ¥ W. M. Tupling of Orillia, explained the system in the plant of J. R. Eaton & Sons. The payroll which was a fairly large one was distributed so that each man’s wage was charged to the department in which he was employed. Bench burden was charged to bench work, machine burden to machine work and so on. Office salaries and administra- tive expenses comprised the commercial burden and were kept separate from the factory or production burdens. “This ; system,” said Mr. Tupling, “enables us to know how we : stand at the end of each day if necessary. F. B. Van Dusen was skeptical about the result of get- 2 ting all retailers to agree on a uniform cost system. Geo. S. : Zimmerman of Tavistock, believed that if fundamental rules * of sound cost keeping were mutually understood by the deal- ers it would be a big step toward uniformity in selling prices. He moved that a committee be appointed to study a simple : cost system applicable to any size business for the approval of the members. y By this time I was actually getting enthusiastic over this % convention. That idea about uniform costs was a good one. If prices were more near a level there wouldn’t be so much prevalent and every one would know where they stood. Deal- ers would think twice before selling below cost if they had the cold figures before them. Andrew Wise, of St. Catharines, told the retailers about ‘ ; aid ee ee “= xb el) : M4 CANADA LUMBERMAN an Se ‘be the last question discussed on the afternoon’s programme, shopping around by the public, price cutting wouldn’t be so ee oe ae” Se oe ‘ an article in the January lst edition of the ° (Cannan Lumber- man” which outlined a correct and simple method of arriving at a fair sales price and illustrating the fallacy es guessing at a selling price. No Long Winded, Dreary Talks Funny thing about this convention, one didn’t get tired listening to the different men, because they didn’t drag out what they had to say. Up on the president’s desk were two electric light bulbs. One was just plain and the other was red. W hen a man had aired his thoughts for nine minutes the white light went out and the red’ one was flashed’ on. This meant only one minute more to hold forth and most of the speakers took the hint. aoe The apprentice problem was directed by Robt. Bennie of Leamington, a veteran in the industry. He outlined the menace of not teaching intelligent boys the trade. J. T. sf Wallace of London, Lil the Sarl men were to blame them- 2 Mey selves for not making the calling attractive. Better wages — would have to be paid the boys and the dignity of the trade raised. The value of technical schools was discussed. Some were not in accord with these institutions and their methods, but the majority had words of praise for the samples of work turned out by these schools. J. B. Mackenzie of iis said he gave prizes at the fall fair in his district for cabinet work and in that way obtained apprentices for his plant. He — also said in order to get the older men to take pains in teach- | ing the boy, he offered them a bonus. This meres a the efficiency of the boy in the bargain. . Kee) Se Shitonten Dunnville, in opening a Hecteenen ON the value of the Shippers’ Rating Bureau, handed around blank rating forms for inspection by the members. The quality of the grading it was agreed was the chief fault to be found with shippers and it was the general opinion that some check up should be introdeced. It was decided not to form a shippers’ rating bureau, but blank forms will be issued the members on which they can submit complaints of certain: shippers for the secretary to investigate. Getting Fixed Up for the Banquet In announcing the next item on the programme the — president told us it was nearly six o’clock and that this would as the annual banquet would be held at six-thirty. Geo. H. Arnott, Superintendent of the Windsor Lumber Co. in his talk on accident prevention brought up many — points and forcibly illustrated what a thief carelessness is, both to employer and employee. He also explained how the systematic arrangement of machines in the factory Toes in less congestion and accidents. Clarence de Fields, Fire Chief of Windsor, spoke to the re- tailers. briefly on the care of fre extinguishing equipment and how orderliness about the plant saved many dollars’ loss in the case of fire. The meeting adjourned and we went up to our room and got straightened away for the banquet. This is an an- nual affair, they tell me, and generally catches the retailer at his best. Our old friend Jack Miner of Kingsville, the man of a thousand animal stories and a funny fellow called Douglas Malloch from Chicago entertained us. ie L. Brown of Toronto, showed some pictures on en canvas of how they cut and yard the big trees in British Columbia. In ‘between times an orchestra played some tempting music for those who wished to dance. We didn’t do any dancing, but did a whole lot of listening and some eating. ‘ ih came away thinking what a fine bunch of fellows the men in my line of business are. We came to the convention, all of us, to learn ways or create means whereby we could increase our business, but after all wasn’t it an honest en- deavour to be of more ‘service to our communities. , What Legitimate Retail Dealer Is Next day we gathered together again and A. R, Sanders, of St. Thomas, opened a fale on the eA ere me 4), pots on the limits. fee After four years’ service with Mr. Booth, the subject of this __ reference became bookkeeper and scaler for Hale & Booth, the firm _ being composed of Thos. Hale of Pembroke, Robert Booth of Pem- _ broke and J. R. Booth of Ottawa. They conducted operations on the _ Veuve river, running into Lake Nipissing along the mainline of the _ C.P.R., and also on the Amable and DuFond streams which are _— tributaries to the Mattawa. The company got ott square and waney _ white pine timber for export. This was in the eighties and the square timber trade was then a prominent factor in the development _ of the lumber industry of Canada. ---Mr. McFadden was later made manager of the logging enter- _ prise of the company and remained with them until 1890. He then _ branched out on his own behalf and for three successive seasons con- _ ducted big logging contracts in the Algoma District as well as tak- _ ing out some stock on his own behalf. He then rejoined Hale -& _ Booth, and, becoming a partner in the firm, went to Michigan where, _ in the upper peninsula of that state, he tapped virgin forests of white ee ine and, within four years, took out a million cubic feet of waney timber as well as a huge quantity of logs. The timber was loaded _ on vessels at Grand Marais, Mich., and shipped to Quebec for ex- _ port while a large consignment of logs was turned into lumber at rand Marais. This venture proved to be a profitable one and was _ wound up after four years, owing to the death of Mr. Hale which _ took place when Mr. McFadden was exploring some timber re- _ sources in Minnesota with a view to operating in that state. __ Returning to Canada, “he took out logs on the Vermillion River in the vicinity of Sudbury for some time, and subsequently formed a partnership with the late John Ferguson, M.P., of Renfrew, and the late Wim. Anderson of J. R. Booth. They operated under the Aas yle of Ferguson & McFadden, running a well equipped mill at _ Tomiko, twenty-six miles north of North Bay on the T. & N.O. _ Railway. This operation continued for five years, __ Mr. McFadden also conducted mills at East Templeton, Que., other places, and some ten or twelve years ago formed a partner- ip with the late John Malloy under the name of McFadden & Malloy, purchasing the limits and mill of Waldie Bros. at Spragge. ’ interest in the activities of the Canadian _extend their sympathy. s CANADA LUMBERMAN 47 cipally of white and red pine. The leading market for the output at Spragge and Blind River is the United States. This winter Mr. McFadden is operating nine camps and will take out more timber than a year ago. He has always taken a warm Lumbermen’s Association and the Georgian Bay Lumbermen’s Association, as well as all boom and improvement companies. In the federal election campaign of 1921 he was strongly urged to become the Liberal candidate in East Algoma, but his chief attention has always been devoted to his vast lumbering interests, in the development of which he has been the central figure until to-day his firm is an outstanding or- ganization in the Canadian forest products arena. Mr. McFadden rarely takes a holiday, and finds his chief pleasure and delight in the open air, pioneer pursuit in which he has been engaged for the last forty years. Shortage of Spruce Stock Looms Up A leading Eastern wholesale lumber firm in a recent report say that trade looks much brighter now—not only looks it but is better and there is a feeling that 1923 will be a good year. Continuing, they say “Stocks are very low and the output is going to be smaller than we figured on the early part of the season. The yards and our American cousins are beginning to open their eyes to the fact that ready largely gone into consumption. This also applies to the United Kingdom as well. “Our English friends are already aware of the fact that if they |} want Canadian lumber that they will have to pay the price for it. At the present time they are willing to do so; in fact for certain grades etc., they are a little ahead of our American cousins in price. This all goes to show that, with a much reduced output from most Eastern mills, practically no old stocks on hand, (this has been the great drawback for the last two years), the retail yards pretty bare, and, at the same*time, talk of a great amount of building all over this part of this continent, prices should advance. The increase should be enough so that the lumberjack and the millman will be enabled to make a decent wage and living, and also allow the latter | to pay a fair stumpage. This observation applies whether the logs come off Government lease or private. lands. “We do not want a runaway maket, only enough to make a fair profit. If anyone is entitled to a fair margin it is the lumbermen, for they have to take decidedly long chances, much more so than in a great many other businesses.” ; ‘Good Friend of Lumbermen Passes Dr. S. P. Cooke, who for over fifty years followed the pursuit of medicine in Ottawa and was the oldest practising physician in ~ the Capital city, passed away recently in his 75th year. He took to his bed on the day after Christmas and died practically worn out after half a century of medical practice. He gave free medical at- — tention each month to scores of poor people in Ottawa and his death © is deeply regretted. The late Dr. Cooke was well known to many lumbermen in both the upper and lower Ottawa Valleys and on the Gatineau. was born at North Nation Mills, Que., and was a son of the late Alanson Cooke, ex M.P.P., who expired in 1904 in his 93rd year. Many old-timers will remember that Alanson Cooke operated on the Ottawa river with sawmills at North Nation Mills, which is forty miles below Ottawa, under the firm name of Cooke & McGill. S. P. W. Cooke, of Toronto, who represents J. Hanbury & Co., Limited, of Vancouver, and the Allen-Stoltze Lumber Co., Limited, of Vancouver, is a son of the late Dr. Cooke, and many friends will The deceased physician is survived by his wife, three sons and two daughters. The funeral to Christ Church Cathedral and thence to St. James Cemetary, Hull, was largely at- tended, showing the esteem in which he was held. The floral tributes were numerous and beautiful. Lumbermen Object to the Stamp Tax W. P. Dutton of Winnipeg, was recently re-elected president - of the Western Retail Lumbermen’s Association, at its Thirty-sec- ond annual convention held in Winnipeg. Resolutions expressing opposition to the stamp tax on receipts and cheques, urging the provincial Government to take measures for the reduction of the cost of litigation, and also recommending very careful consideration of the Hudson Bay Railway project be- fore definite action one way or the other is taken, were adopted dur- ing the morning’s session. He = How the Retail Lumber Dealer Can Co-operate a (Continued from page 36) fact that implement sheds are cheap and necessary and that farm machinery is necessary but not cheap. He points out that every - farmer needs a building separate from his other farm structures, de- signed for the storage of implements, away from poultry roost nuis- ance and danger from fire. Poultry is interesting on a farm but not among implements and waggons. You can turn a wagon wheel into a hen roost by rolling it in; frequently the hens turn the whole wagon into a roost without turning a wheel. When the hired man hitches up and climbs into the seat in the morning before daylight, he expresses his opinion freely. With a good enclosed implement shed such accidents are not likely to happen. Mr. Mackenzie points out that $1,000 worth of farm machinery with the best of care will depreciate about 10% annually. The loss on many farms is more than that because the whole farm equipment is left out under the weather when it should be under cover. Some Implements to Keep Covered Some of the implements which the average farmer possesses are: Grain harvesting machines :binders, reapers, shockers, threshers. Haying machines:— mowers, rakes, tedders, combination side rake and tedder, loaders, all types, sweep rakes, stackers, baling pres- ses, bunchers. Beet. tools :—seeders, cultivators. Corn machines:—binders, “planters, drills, cultivators, ensilage cutters, shellers. ; Planting and seeding machines :-—grain drills, broadcast seeders, _ fertilizer drills. : Power machines:—kerosene engines, kerosene tractors, motor trucks. i see . Tillage implements consists of:—tractor plows, riding plows, | walking plows, disc plows, disc harrows, tractor harrows, orchard harrows, spring tooth harrows, peg-tooth harrows, cultivators, culti- _ packers, land rollers. Other farm equipment includes:—cream separators, farm wag- ons, farm trucks, manure spreaders, straw spreader attachment, feed grinders, tractor hitches binder twine, sleighs. Good and Bad Lumber-piling Methods The extreme of good and bad practice in lumber piling are shown in the accompanying illustration. ; ’ The photograph on the left shows an alley of hardwoods piled for profit. All piles have the same slope and pitch, all are placed on concrete foundations 12 to 18 inches above the ground, and the roofs of all piles are secured firmly with wire. The stickers, which are in _ no case wider than four inches, project one inch beyond the fronts of the piles throughout the yard. The ground about the piles is cov- ered with closely-cropped grass, and there are no weeds nor scraps An illustration of “how and how not to” of decaying lumber to incubate molds or stains which may attack the _ piled lumber. Ample air circulation is assured by maintaining an in- terval of four feet between piles, and by the generous space between - pile and ground. _ The two piles shown in the photograph on the right are not uniform in slope, pitch, or length, nor were there two piles in the entire yard which were alike in these particulars.

These ap- pointments were made at the annual meeting held in the Ritz- Carlton hotel, Montreal, on Jan- uary 26th. In the absence of G. M. Mc- Kee, Mr. Kent presided over the meeting, which discussed ques- tions in a fuller manner than is customary. In place of the usual presi- dential address, Edward Beck, the secretary, gave a survey of conditions in the industry. He H. F. E. Kent, Toronto, sketched the rise of that in- _ The New President dustry, pointed out that in 1913 64 mills were in operation while in 1921 there were 100 mills. News- _ print production in 1913 amounted to 350,000 tons; in 1921 the pro- duction was 805,114 tons or 130 per cent. greater, while in 1922 it ~ exceeded 1,690,000, or an increase of 300 per cent. in the ten year - period. Total woodpulp of all kinds produced in 1913 amounted to 854,624 tons; in 1921 it amounted to 1,544,027 tons, an increase of 80 ~ percent. What about the year 1922 just closed? In considering the immediate condition of the industry we must _ remember the year 1921 was one of depression and difficulty; it was also a year of reorganization and reconstruction. ‘Towards the end of that year, however, the situation began to look a little clearer and we entered upon 1922 with a more optimistic outlook, prepared for twelve months of steady, if slow, progress. The year which has just closed fulfilled our expectations and although we had no sudden return to prosperity, we have experienced a steady growth and de- _ velopment and we feel confident that our industry is now on a solid ~ and sound basis so that we can look forward with cheerful optimism.” ? “ea Mr. Beck Utters Word of Caution ~Mr. Beck pointed to a great all-round increase in production _ during the past year, and proceeded :— ? “Satisfaction over past achievements should not lead us to un- derrate the possibilities of the future. There is no reason why our _ industry should not continue to expand and to keep pace with the growth of the country and with the natural increase in the universal demand for its products. Possibly, however, we may be going ahead a little too rapidly. Overconfidence as to an unabated continuance of the present demand for our products may lead us into undue or too rapid development. There are already danger signs in one or two directions that the saturation point is in sight. We should - guard against unnecessary and’ excessive production, which is apt to prove as unprofitable and undesirable for the consumer as it is for _ the producer. “When it is considered that the newsprint mills of Canada, now - in operation, or under construction, or for whose construction pro- visions have been made, are committed to a program which will ‘give them a combined output capacity of 4,315 tons a day, or prac- tically 1,300,000 tons a year by the end of next year; that production in the United States is also due for an increase, attributable to new machines now in process of installation; that the total demand for this class of paper on this continent, practically our only, assured market, at its maximum and never exceeded 2,500,000 tons a year that United States production has never failed to equal at least 58 rt cent. of this demand, and that the tonnage due from Canada by end of 1924 will equal 57 per cent. of the greatest volume of mption in any one year, the figures may naturally invite a as to whether expansion has not reached or is it approach- Is Pulp And Paper Industry Growing Two Fast : 3 Danger Signs Seen in Some Directions that the Saturation Point is in : Sight—Warning against Unnecessary and Excessive Production. is clea dies CANADA LUMBERMAN 19 2 “Similar conditions may be said to apply in lesser degree to the production of groundwood sulphite and the finer grades of paper. If expansion is to go on at its present rate it is inevitable that new markets must be explored. Where are they to be found? How can we best meet the competition that we shall be faced with when we find them?’ A vote of thanks was accorded to Mr, Beck. The reports of the various sections were then submitted, R. P. Kernan, the chairman of the Woodlands Section pointing out that the use of gasoline driven tractors in logging operations has gone far beyond the experimental stage and their worth for hauling under certain conditions has been absolutely proven. In several places in the Adirondacks hardwood and spruce logs are being hauled for dis- tances of from seven to fifteen miles at a very low cost. Some mem- bers are using tractors on a small scale and, after studying the matter more closely, timber situated in the back country five to ten miles from the rivers should be cut and hauled as cheaply as the timber nearer at hand. Two Proposed Appointments Deferred The proposed appointment of a Director of Technical Research for the Association and also of a permanent ‘secretary for the Wood- lands Section, the first department to cost $30,000 and the latter $10,000, resulted in a long discussion. While there was no opposi- tion to the principle of research work and of a permanent secretary, some members expressed the opinion that the time was inopportune for such appointments. It was decided that both should be held in abeyance for a year and that the Committee on Technical Research should continue its work. A proposal to amend the by-law dealing with dues was carried. Angus McLean wrote, suggesting that the Association support an amendment to the Workmen’s Compensation Acts, which Acts, he regarded as imposing excessive and unwarranted charges. This matter was left to the incoming executive who will also consider matters relating to the Acts. Hon. C. Stewart, Minister of the Interior, wrote, asking that support of the Association in connection with the Imperial Forestry Conference to be held in Ottawa during the summer. He pointed out that representatives from Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and the Crown Colonies would be present. So far as the supply of timber was concerned, Canada was the chief source within the Empire of certain classes of wood for Great Britain and the conference might provide the opportunity of correcting some misapprehensions with regard to Canadian wood. The Dominion Government was bearing the greater part of the cost of the con- ference. The appointment of representatives was left in the hands of the Council. B. C. Loggers Look for Busy Year At the annual meeting of the British Columbia Loggers’ Asso- ciation held recently, Mr. Goodwin G, Johnson, manager of the Capilano Timber ‘Company, Limited, was unanimously re-elected president and Mr. Norman A. English, manager of the Nimpkish Timber Company, was elected vice-president. The following were elected directors: Mr. A. J. Anderson, International Timber Com- pany; Mr. Geo. Challenger, Challenger Timber Company, Limited; Mr. F. S. Buck, Deep Cove Logging Company, Limited; Mr. S. G. Smith, Bloedel, Stewart & Welsh Corp. Limited; Mr. P. A. Wilson, Wilson-Brady Limited; Mr. F. R. Alley, Tahkina Timber Com- pany, Limited; Mr. Geo. Moore, Merrill Ring Lumber Company; Mr. L. H. Weber, Brooks-Scanlon-O’Brien Limited; Mr. T.~ A. Lamb, Lamb Lumber Company; Mr. A. E. Munn, Munn & Kerr Timber Co.; secretary, Mr. Geo. Muddiman. Mr. Johnson stated that indications all point to a ‘busy year in the lumber industry of British Columbia. He referred to advices he had from various parts of the country, which indicated a large demand for lumber, and stated that in order to cope with the busi- ness offering, several mills on Puget Sound and Grays Harbor were running two and three shifts. \ re : Pee NY, oe é : ~~ 50 Much is said in the press nowadays regarding conditions in the lumber camps as they exist at present when contrasted with the chaotic state of things some thirty or forty years ago. The progress in sanitary, lodging, lavatory and eating arrangements were ably out- lined in a recent issue of the “Canada Lumberman” bye Alex: Rs White, of North Bay, Provincial Sanitary Inspector. His contribu- tion aroused timely interest even among lumbermen who are thor- oughly familiar with the development of the times and the trend of events. It is interesting, at this season of the year, to relate how old- timers view the transition in bush labor and accommodation. One of the spectacular figures in the lumber arena is Capt. Robert Dollar, who is known far and wide. He recently delivered an address at the first annual banquet before the Western Planing Mill and Wood- working Association at San Francisco, Cal. Capt. Dollar, in his p> early days, was a well-known lumberjack in the Upper Ottawa and the Quebec Districts and recalls his early experiences with keen : interest. of a lumber establishment. He and his wife lived in the upstairs of the lumber office and there the subject of this reference was born, so that, as he phrases it, he started earlier in the lumber business _ than do most men of that calling. . Continuing, he said “That was in Scotland, and at twelve years of age my father moved to ‘Canada and a few days after I got a situation working in a stave mill. My education, of course, at first was very limited, because I left school when I was eleven years old. However, afterwards I got a university education. Probably a good many of you gentlemen here will think, well, that is most remark- able, a fellow coming up and working in the lumber woods and get- ting a university education. I got a university education and got my diploma in the school of hard knocks. A professor in one of our universities said, in talking to a young man the other day, this edu- cation that you are getting will not necessitate your working, I - would like to know what is the good of a fellow if he don’t work; I have got no use for him. I have had to work all my lifetime and often say to the men in my employ, I want you fellows to all work as hard as I work, but don’t try to do more than I am doing. “The condition of the lumber business when I went into it was somewhat different from what it is to-day. I went to a lumber camp first sixty-three years ago in Canada on the Gatineau River. It took us eight days to go, in bark canoes, to our camp. The late Senator Edwards, a chum of mine at that time, took me in his automobile in _ four hours to the place which it required eight days to reach in early days. You can imagine the revolutionary change that has taken place. Not a tree or stump of the original forest in sight for _ miles; all the land was devoted to farming. Wonder That Any Survived “In regard to the sanitary conditions that we hear so much about, it is a wonder that any of us survived, and yet I never saw ‘a man die in a lumber camp in my life. We did not have a wash basin, but used a trough; then we dried ourselves on a roller towel until it got so wet that it was no good and the cook would kick if “we wanted another one. If two men or women use the same towel now, we are going to have the typhoid fever or something else. As to the food, we hadn’t much of a-~selection—pork and beans and flour and tea, and that was the whole thing, and beans to make pea soup. In those days out motive power was oxen. I mention these things to show what a change has taken place. At that time where __ I was lumbering it was a wilderness, unsettled for a hundred miles when I went up there, but where our camp was, not a stump is in ' sight; it is a fine agricultural country now, unrecognizable. Then _ after I had worked on the Gatineau River I found the country open- ing up about the Muskoka district, where we could get timber cheap. I started with another young man and we were going to make our __ fortunes, but we didn’t sell our logs. Well, perhaps we might have done it, but Black Friday you have all heard of, intervened and we 3 all went busted. Then the next thing I did after f got busted was to get married. I then hired with a big lumber firm and was opera- “iting eight or ten camps for them and I had a thundering big sal- ney #100 a month.

Some of my later cities a the only captaincy I ever held was in the Salvation Army. “The first donkey engine that was ever used in the een was — q used up in Mendocino County, California.

The engine was a ~ bit of a thing compared to what they have now, and the whole — logging now of this great Pacific Coast is done by steam. | ees rapid change is very, very difficult to understand. “We got into lumbering and we found the fellows who owne the ships were getting about all the profit and I thou ht I woul go into shipping too.

At that time the lumber trade from this coast did not exist, but we started in, in a small way and sold lumber, then sae "1g yards equipped and it has been growing and growing until the first — six months of this year we shipped to China 17,000,000 feet of lumber. “The first time I went to China I was invited to go to a club. There was practically no Americans there at that time. An English 3 agent invited me to go to the club. When I got there he said, ‘Come into the bar and have a drink.’ I said, ‘Thank you; I don’t drink. He said, “Have a smoke then.’ I said, ‘Tt dont smoke either,’ and ey: he stood and looked at me and said, ‘Do you intend to come over here to do business in China and you don’t either drink or smoke ; j if you do, the Lord help you.’ Well, the Lord did help me. a isu out of business now and T am there yet.

When they see we are buying land and put- ting in buildings and going in permanently, they say, ‘That fell is going to stay.’ The Chinese are all from Missouri; you noe to show them.” / : oP vie An Old Timer Grows Reminiscent Recently Ralph Connor’s stirring novel, “The Man From Gl gary,” was eee in the movies in Toronto and some realist Bie beras and logging scenes on the Ottawa and Gatineau rivers were thrown upon the screen. They were exciting and showed the wild, rollicking, devil-may-care life of the woodsman forty years ago, when some high old times were characteristic of the calling. - Then there was often hard drinking and free fights, but these are already things of the past and the better class of lumberjack to-day are steady-going, industrious chaps who have families and save their money for ‘home and its comforts. Of course, there are exceptions but these only go to prove the rule that a great change has taken place in the class and nature of the help engaged in the woods. 3 _ In the daily press recently an old-timer gave the following in- teresting reminiscences, which along with those or Capt, Dollar, are particularly apropos: 5 “-Taint like that now,’ exclaimed a grizzled bushman from _NortherneOntario as he sat in a Toronto picture show the other i day and viewed the above portrayal. He was gazing at the old- time camboose in which the shantymen used to live. “But I mind them cambooses when I was a young feller forty-year ago,” said he. “They was just log buildings with a big hole in the centre of the roof to let the smoke out ; and a big, open fire built on a pile of sand, held in place by logs. There was two or three rows of bunks _ around the sides. All we had to eat in them days was Chicago pork in barrels, and beans, and bread and tea, and molasses. We never seen sugar, nor coffee, nor butter nor jam, and we got pie once a week—on Sundays.” ~“That’s how it was when I first went to work in the bush in ' the fall of 1882, back north of Penetang,”’ quoth the veteran. _ “Weren't no kicking about the grub like there is to-day. Boys, but them beans—baked all night in the hot sand—tasted good, and so was the bread. We got lots to eat, but gosh! it was a hard life them days. There was no table at all. A fellow just sat with his plate on his knees. There was no lights, neither, in the camp— only the light from the fire. Breakfast was at 4 o’clock and after that we used to walk three miles through the bush and wait there beside a bonfire until it was light enough to start work. They used to feed the horses at 3 in the morning and never bring them in till Model ae of Schroeder Mills Storehouse, Office and Foremen’s quarters One of the progressive lumbering concerns in ‘Ontario is the Schroeder Mills & Timber Co., whose headquarters are at Pakes- James Ludgate is the general-manager of the company ley, Ont. _ which has always been noted for the superior character of its camps and the up-to-date features which these possess. " In this issue of the “Canada Lumberman” are presented several views of the model camps of this progressive organization. The _ pictures convey more information than could possibly be done through columns of description. The following letter from Dr. John W. McCullough, chief Officer of Health for Ontario, to the “Canada Diane: man, % clearly sets forth much data in a comprehensive way :— ‘Camp No. 7, the new camp constructed during the cur- “rent season on which the Schreoder Mills & Timber Co. de- sire our opinion, is without question the best camp ever Sleep camp for one hundred and twenty five men. sack with separate wash rooms CANADA LUMBERMAN 51 Horse hospital and stables Building divided into three parts, dark. Lots of horses were killed from over-work. Along about 11 we got lunch in the woods—pork and bread and tea. We got supper at a quarter to six. And, say, if a feller came into camp before dark he got h— from the foreman. There was always three men waiting to take your place if you quit.” The primitive caboose camp passed out soon after 1882, but ac- cording to the old bushman the succeeding camps were little better. The lowest bunk was on a level with the floor, the topmost of three tiers jam against the low roof. Balsam boughs served for a mattress and three half-cotton blankets as bedding for the two occupants of each crude bed. Filth and sickness were rife. And withal, the best men—skilled choppers, whose axes had to do all the work in those days when they didn’t use saws in felling trees, received but $11 or $12 a month. The timber waste was awful. None but the finest white pine merited consideration, and when a tract had been lum- bered, the ground was strewn with discarded long tops and butts which, to-day, would be esteemed fine logs for the mill. Forty years ago anything less than 13 inches were cast aside as valueless. Good 16-foot logs were rejected for trifling faults or bits of rot. But No. 1 white pine lumber sold for as low as $10 a thousand then, and millions of feet of prime stuff was used to build sheds and back- yard fences in Toronto. And what of Ontario lumber camps to-day? They are clean white-washed places, according to the old-timer who hires out as “buck bearer” or ice road foreman when he runs short of funds. The law looks well after the interests of the men. The filthy old bunks have vanished. In place each man has his individual spring bed with mattress and blankets. The floor is scrubbed twice weekly. The monthly tax of $1 is taken from each man for doctor’s attend- ance, and if the lumberjack is also obliged to pay $1 a month for washing, his clothes are properly laundered for him by a woman. Nowadays he breakfasts at 6.30 instead of 4, and when noon hour comes in the bush, a sleigh arrives with a hot dinner for him. as it does much to stimulate construction among the builders of camps elsewhere. “James Ludgate, the manager of the company, deserves all the credit we can give him.” he adds. & Timber Co. at Pakesley, Ont. Blacksmith Shop constructed to my knowledge as a cutting camp. The bunk- house is constructed to house 125 men and is all under one roof, ‘but is really three separate sleep camps, each with its own separate wash-room and room for a shower bath. The building, and, indeed all other buildings, are exactly as the regulations require. Fresh air inlets, ventilators, dormer windows, everything is exactly as we intend, with the addi- tion that there is easily twice the window space expected. There is a laundry building presided over by a wash-woman, an isolated hospital, and even a horse hospital. The camp consists of 17 buildings in all, arranged in a square with the yard in the centre. The camp is provided with singie iron ‘beds.” The Chief Camp Inspector says: that he ‘believes such a camp as this is worthy of being illustrated in the “Canada Lumberman” Cookery and dining room, roof-windows same as sleeping camp ur wo Mill of New River Lumber Company, Norma, Tenn. Saw Salesman Made Novel Aerial Trip Lew Doster, the well known Atkins Saw representative, has added another feather to his cap by taking up flying. His work takes him into every state in the Union, and as there is only one law, he figures that through the use of an aeroplane he can be here, there, and everywhere on short notice. In Knoxville, he recently found himself pressed for time, while contemplating a trip to Norma, Tennessee, by train. It takes a day and a half to go by train over the mountains on the’tortuous trails. While meditating on a plan, Ben Franklin’s proverb, “If time be of all things mose precious, wasting time must be the greatest prodi- gality,” kept running through his mind like the words of a popular song. “Oh, for a flying machine,” mused Doster, quoting from the immortal Darious Green: He hied himself to a hanger, and made arrangements for a trip by plane to the plant of the New River Lumber Company, which is situated at Norma about twenty-five miles east on the ‘Tennessee railroad, which connects with the C. N. O, & T. P. at Oneida. To say that he had a thrilling and interesting trip is putting it mildly. The pilot he engaged told Doster that he would take him up and “wait around awhile.” Mr. Doster took a slant skywards _ and wanted to know right away where the pilot was going to park the boat in the atmosphere. When told that this was necessary to get one’s bearings, he.calmed down. In fact he decided to take along his camera, so as to snap some pictures on the fly. He gave up the idea of taking pictures, however, after ascending to an attitude of five thousand feet. The machine ran into so many air pockets that he decided the best thing to do was to sit still, hold on and trust to luck. The machine took a nose dive while crossing the Appalachian mountain range and dropped four thousand feet and when this oc- curred several times in succession, Doster thought that his time was near. Fortunately, he arrived in Norma in forty-five minutes after leaving Knoxville and was met at the landing field by the executives of the New River Lumber Company, including W. O. Harter, W. H. Hopkins, John Shea and Mrs. W. H. Ford and Mrs. Ralph Martin. When asked if his trip was a success, Mr. Doster answered, “Say, now listen, did you ever hear of me going on a selling trip and fall down for my company. ~ Value of the Forest as Recruiting Agent With all the present talk on immigration focused upon the sin- gle point of securing new settlers for agricultural land many news- papers are apt to forget the unadvertised service of the Canadian forest as a recruiting sergant for new Canadians. Agricultural lands are by no means the only generator of increased population or na- tional wealth. This country may very easily commit itself to large outlays in new farmers while treating with unconcern the corollary policies of forest conservation absolutely vital to the business success of the new farmer. Eighty per cent of the total area of the Dominion of Canada is of non-agricultural type. Not more than five percent of the whole _ area of British Columbia is of agricultural worth. Of Saskatchewan _ about one-third is fit for farming. ‘Ontario’s area is from sixty to seventy per cent non-agricultural, and so the story runs through most of the other provinces. The greater part of this Dominion is marked out by unchangeable laws as a splendid natural factory of many times over by the portion of our estate on which the forest is the only profitable crop. _ timber trees. The acreage adaptable to agriculture is outmatched The development of Canada, therefore, is scarcely compassed _ by any one public policy restricted to the promotion of farm settle- _ ments. Indeed, there never can be any such thing as an immigta- - tion and colonization policy without a four-square forestry policy. And the start of any adequate forestry policy is a satisfying answer -~as to why four thousand forest fires were burning in Canada this t Mr. Doster Ready to start Those Who Waited Mr. Doster’s Arrival Soar <4 year and why the greater part of the country’s natural forest inheri-— tance is today a wilderness of blackened wreckage. poe Were it possible to prepare a review of the enormous service done by the farmless empire of this Dominion that the map makers — designate as ‘Forest Area” what stirprises would evolve therefrom? How wonderingly we would trace the influence of the lumber indus-~ try in developing new population, new towns, new railways? There is scarcely a community outside of the prairies which has not part of its foundations in somebody’s sawmill. Much of the story of the lumber industry, however and its influence on population would be retrospective—pathetically so. There is more to ‘be gained by climb- — ing to a newer altitude where the huge bulk of pulp and paper plants gleam white against the spruce woods. é : Product of Canada’s Industrial History The pulp and paper industry is the product of (Canada’s indus- trial history. “Twenty-five years ago it was straggling for to the rear — of home industries activities. The newsprint mills and investors of — the United States foresaw the eventual embarrassment from declin- — ing wood supplies and the treck began to the happy land of Canada — where abundant forests and first rate water powers promised a cut in production costs. And thus the sleepy village became the young — city of Grand Mere, Quebec; the Canadian “Soo” drew to itself thou- _ sands of new citizens; Three Rivers was suddenly filled with proces- sions of home seekers; Iroquois Falls and LaTuque broke the wil- derness with a chain of chimneys and orderly lines of workmen’s homes. And year after year these pulp and paper communities add to their numbers with no thought of suspending growth for a dozen years to come. 2 ee This is pioneering on a wholesale plan. This is colonization. This is settlement, although we commonly leave these terms to the immigration agent. The pulp and paper companies and other forest industries have carried out the national development idea. They have given Canada scores of prosperous towns; they have contribu- ted enormously to railroad traffic, they have provided steady jobs to thirty thousand good class workmen at generous wages in their mills and another twenty-five thousand in bush labor. : She Is it, after all, the pulp and paper mills that account for all this economic transformation, this placing of new population where only — the trapper walked before? nen iow Is not the paper mill only the sub-agent of the forest? The whole of such development is in consequence of forest and water powers. The mills came because forests were available and mills will depart when the forest ceases. Population came because raw material called it. Grand Mere and Kenogami and Iroquois Falls would never have existed but for the magnet of the forest. Pay Tribute to Memory of Mr. Gordon 4 q At a special meeting of the Montreal Lumber Association, on January 22nd, a resolution of deep regret at the passing of Mr. P. D.

By C. E. Lund* ae Chief County Warden of Westmorland, N.B. We have to-day in the iby antes of Canada probably in the vicinity of one billion acres of forest land of au classes, but how are we conserving it. “Within the last seventy two years, the life time of one generation, two-thirds to three-quarters of our timber wealth has been destroyed by fire.” The spruce bud worm, for a number of years—has made serious inroads, and our extrava- gant methods of lumbering, along with the ‘pulpwood menace We are now up against are seriously threatening our indus- trial prosperity. Nearly every industry is so dependent on the forest that its depletion is the undermining of them all. To my mind it is a grave question if we will be able to arise in our puny -might and cope with the present conditions in such a manner as to conserve for the near coming generations a sufficient annual growth of timber to meet their actual industrial ne- cessities. The towering Our primeval or virgin forests are mostly gone. pine and giant spruce and hemlock, the leaning topped hackmatack * i and large spreading cedars of our boyhood days. are not now to be _ seen, unless perhaps in a few remote localities. Their places are Bs talon by a small inferior growth of some less valuable variety. WED Longfellow, i in beginning his pathetic story of Evangeline wrote: _ This is the forest primeval. The murmuring pines and the hemlocks F bearded with moss,-and with garments green, indistinct in the twi- light, stand like Druids of old, with voices sad and prophetic. While the words “sad” and “prophetic” were perhaps given no such mean- _ ing by the poet as I attribute to them; yet I sometimes.think not only — the “pines” and the “hemlocks,” but the spruce and the fir and the .~ ~ cedar, if given the power of speech, would raise their voices in solemn “protest against their wanton and rapid destruction by fire and axe, ‘in a wail, sad and disconsolate, lamenting their lost condition and be- _ seeching us to spare the remnant before it is too late. Bt i Suicidal to cut all Medium Sizes As the amount of annual growth of a forest depends on the size s _ of the trees, it is a suicidal practice to cut out all the medium sized ~ _ trees in any operation and leave only the small growth. Besides the destruction of the unprotected young timber by the wind, it takes too long for such a depleted stand to recover. The annual erowth of a tree is a thin sheet of fiber encircling the trunk beneath “the bark, and of course the larger the tree the ereater amount of fiber it pro- _ duces. To cut timber below a reasonable standard size is proverb- : ally to kill the goose that lays the golden egg. ___I would like to utter such a note of warning against carelessness with fire and wasteful cutting as will tend to bring about improved conditions. Conservation, conservation, should be. our slogan. fee the County of Westmorland has the honor of being the first in % ‘the Maritime Provinces if not in the Dominion, to take ‘steps for the re adequate protection of our timberlands. The owners secured gislation to tax themselves to raise a “Protection Fund” for that rpose. For nearly nineteen years the writer has had the respons- , sibility of the over- sight of this laudable undertaking. How well the work has been done is for others to tell, but it easily goes without Sa ying that conditions have so changed fot the ‘better that no one for a moment would think of going back to the old haphazard, do-as-you- ease method. The expense has been kept at a minimum, and fully arranted by results. With an imperfect organization our’aim has en to give reasonably adequate protection at the lowest possible . The small expense incurred this year is met by a balance remaining on hand from an assessment made several years ago. We are working entirely independent and apart from Govern- control, though appreciating any helpful suggestions from, and Ay y deliv. ered ae See ne tie ses at Petitcodiac, N. B. - Ars ¥ 5 af bie 933 aah SPT aT Rigs a acting in full harmony with, the Provincial Forester and other of- ficials of the Crown Land Department. Unfortunately, last year we had, in addition to several small fires, three quite extensive and expensive ones. Each was set in violation of the law and should not have occurred,—being caused either by. culpable carelessness or criminal design. This year, so far we have had only a few, mostly small grass fires and the damage has been almost nil. Our local Government is doing a commendable work in trying to cope with the fire fiend, but Governments and other organizations cannot do every-~ | thing, and we will only meet with the maximum of success in forest conservation when we learn that the trees are our friends no matter who owns the land on which they grow. They regulate the water flow, conserve the moisture in the soil perpetuating the existence of running brooks and springs making the country a possible abode for man and beast. How Forest Protection Benefits All It is a great mistake to suppose that forest protection only bene- fits the owner of the growing timber. The person who carries on a lumbering operation in the usual way is a public benefactor, giving - employment to agriculturists, artisans, tradesmen and in fact nearly all classes, and the various amounts paid out, from the making of the first sled building camp, swamping roads, cutting, yarding, browing, driving, sawing _ shipping and the freight charge and insurance on the last load of the finished product, consume so large a portion of the selling price, that often a very small margin remains in the hands ‘of the operator who, in the meantime, has paid taxes on the property for school and municipal institutions besides carrying the risk and worry of the transaction. When we are educated to appreciate this, our interest will deepen and broaden and the impending menace of irreparable loss will be stayed. ; Impress Facts on Coming Generation In all reforms, when the people are educated to a wholesome appreciation of the law, rather than a dread of its penalties, the bat- tle is largely won. The great question of forest valuation and pre- servation should be brought prominently before the minds of the rising generation during their school days. While I do not believe in a multiplicity of text books, yet 1 am fully convinced that a small treatise embodying the location, extent, and estimated value of our forests,—their usefulness, the necessity of their conservation, a sum- mary of the law relating to their protection, and other such informa- tion, placed in the hands of our boys and girls, who so very soon will be men and women, would be a great step in advance in our educa- tional system.” Perhaps it may have been expected that I would have something to say in regard to the best method of fighting forests fires, modern — equipment, etc. While I am in full sympathy with aeroplane and lookout tower observation, chemical apparatus, force pumps and other advanced methods, yet I regard prevention as so much better than cure, I will only emphasize the necessity of prompt action on the part of each and every person who first sees a threatening fire. When you see a fire try and put it out. If you cannot do so, sum- mon help and do your utmost to save the forest. During the last two years, 807 forest fires were reported in New Brunswick, burning over an area of about 179,270 acres, with an es- timated property loss of 1,157,101 dollars. include the loss suffered in the prospective growth of the timber which in many cases is much more than its present value. The tim- ber loss, however, is not all we suffer from the burning of the forest. One fire is usually soon followed by another and the soil is.so burnt away and its fertility destroyed as to make it useless for agriculture. Besides this the game is either driven out or destroyed. This Pro- vince would yet have been a hunters’ paradise if the hand of the fire fiend had been stayed. How often in passing over a newly burnt area we see the destroyed nests of game birds and the charred bones of young animals. Surely heavy fines and jail sentences, if not flog- ging, should ‘be given those w ho are partners in wantonly perpetu- ating such conditions. -This estimate does not - x ss Tee. aes eyo ~as a 1x 4 to 12 in, No. 2 and better, clear fir, TORONTO White Pine (In Car Load Lots, F.O.B. cars Toronto) feet Good Strips) 2... 25... «- $110.00 $115.00 1% & 1% x 4/7 Good Strips ... 125.00 130.00 1 x 8 and up Good Sides ...... 150.00 160.00 Bact 7 GOOG Strips, 2... < s = 130.00 140.00 1% &1%x8and wider Good Sides 185.00 190.00 29 x 8 and wider Good Sides .... 190.00 200.00 1 in.

Burstall, of the Quebec timber firm of J. Burstall & Co., and John Levie, vice-president of W. & J. Sharples, Limited, have left for the United Kingdom to visit the agencies of their re- spective firms and take observations of the British timber market with a view to business. In the meantime, the cable advices received by the Quebec firms from England up to the end of January are not very reassuring. The difficulty of making progress or of obtaining advanced figures anticipated is seemingly causing some depression but it is too early yet to express disappointment. The British lumber interests do not seem to be worrying because their trade is not booming. It is the unsettled dark political clouds, which overspread the horizon, that give the present concern and those conditions referred to in past letters appear to be more ominous than they were a month ago. The darkest cloud which was expected - to move away in the Near East, seems to be growing blacker, and it is felt generally in English business as well as political circles, that the aggressive attitude of the Turk, and the oscillating policy of _ France, is the forerunner of a crisis which England is endeavoring to avert as far as possible consistent with power, If the Near East question were settled, the mind of the British pwblic would be re- lieved of all worry as the British Government would continue the work of ameliorating the economic problem, which of late has been slowly but surely working towards an equilibrium. It is recognized in scientific political circles that with the elim- ination of the Near East question, the Ruhr difficulty would not greatly concern the British Government because the political and military scientists who have been closely watching the situation, feel confident that Germany would not in the present, at least, go to war with France. In explanation of their expert opinion, the reason is -given that with France in military control of the Ruhr, and the occu- pation of Germany’s greatest industrial centre with its resources in mines, etc., will preclude Germany from declaring hostilities, which would end in the complete devastation of the Ruhr long before the _ French could be driven out if it were probable by the German mili- tary forces in conflict. The British Government and the business interests of the United Kingdom are familiar with these psychological situations and, there- fore, not worrying to any serious degree of anxiety. In this regard the commercial men of Great Britain have had so many shocks of a political and financial nature that they are not greatly disturbed over the matter. With regard to trade in general and the lumber trade in particu- lar, the effects of the altered state of affairs are difficult to forecast and for this reason the immediate future can scarcely be called favorable. It may be, as the French Government claims, that the atmosphere will clear up and that something will in the course of some few months, develop, to put an end to the chaos, but, in the meantime, nervousness is very apparent. Until it is seen whether or not the situation is cleared or becomes more acute, commerce is bound to suffer and with it the lumber trade. As a matter of course the depreciation of exchange and the eco- nomical conditions of Europe in general are a source of anxiety. The German mark has reached almost the vanishing point and the franc is getting weaker and British timber and deal importers cannot be blamed for their caution under such circumstances. The one bright spot in the troubled situation is the possibility of England and the United States coming to an amicable under- standing in connection with the funding of the British debt, which is sure to bring the governments and peoples of the English-speaking nations close together. a a * a The European situation and opinions as above expressed, are 2 gathered from the advices and confidential exchange of views be- - tween the big financial as well as commercial interests of Great 4 Britain with their Canadian agencies, The object your Quebec cor- > respondent has in penning them is for the benefit of the farseeing _ and thoughtful captains of the Canadian lumber trade. They are not ; _ by any means written in a spirit of pessimism because pessimism is not to be entertained by the business men of Canada, especially __ when the trade interests of Great Britain are optimistic of the near future in their confidence that the present dark ‘clouds which so cover and mystify the European political horizon will in time roll by. cs The Canadian lumber interests and the American investing pub- - lic look on the bright side of things. This can be judged by the increased lumber operations in the Canadian woods and the con- 58 CANADA LUMBERMAN Review of Current Trade Conditions | et 7D Lt tinued boom in the building trade in the United States. The Oue- — bec lumber interests are, certainly, not worrying. Their books are filled with orders from the United States and the only fear they — evince is the continued embargo on American railway transportation. — Though they are getting ready to meet any and all demands for wood which may come from the United Kingdom, they are in the © fortunate position of having two good markets this year, the Cana- dian and the American markets, to meet the supply and demand. The Quebec export firms nevertheless are keen on keeping up this — connection with the United Kingdom for a big trade in the future. — There is a feeling that the steamship lines will make a substantial reduction in their ocean freight rates which will permit the Canadian lumber interests to compete to better advantage with the Scandi- navian countries. The lowering of the rates between English and Australian ports has encouraged the belief that the steamship com-— panies will emulate the example in regard to cheaper freight rates — between the United Kingdom and Canada especially in the St. Law- rence route next sttmmer. ys xy According to letters received by the Quebec lumber trade at the end of January, the stocks in all the British yards are light, neverthe- less the demand is starting. There has been very little demand for waney pine timber and no expectation of improvement for the pre- sent, at least, due, in all probability, to the upward tendency in prices. — Quebec oak is, however, in demand and sales continue to lighten the supply. It is expected that there will be a good call for the shipment of oak when the navigation of the St. Lawrence reopens next spring. It is also intimated that the spruce stocks are light and should there be a safe amelioration of the political and economic situation in Europe before the spring, there is a strong presumption that the Canadian shippers will see a rejuvenation of business that will bring to the Canadian trade some fine orders from the United Kingdom. Montreal Reports Trade as Coming on Favorably Taking into consideration the period of the year, business in Montreal is being maintained at a satisfactory level. The orders for local accounts are good, while trade with American firms and also with those at outside points in Canada are of a substantial character. The growing scarcity of dry stock is an important fac- tor in this condition, prices showing further advances, particularly for spruce. The outlook is for a continuance of this firm market for some time, although some wholesalers express the hope that quota- tions will not be booked to such an extent as to curtail consumption. The mills are asking and getting considerably better prices, and are making up for some of the losses sustained in the early part of last year. : Lath, which was inclined to drop away, is showing a firmer ten- dency, with a considerable increase in the inquiries. A fair amount of business is being done in B. C, forest products. The high prices, however, tend to discourage extensive buying. Hardwoods continue to be a good market, with prices holding — very firm. The chances are that the cut this season will show an appreciable increase on that of last year. The building permits in Montreal for the first month of the year were unusually large, totalling $485,475. The majority of the permits were for dewllings. Last year some of the exporters complained that the ocean freight rates were too high, having regard to the rates secured by Scandinavian and European shippers, and that the rate from Can- ~ ada handicapped our exporters in competing in the U.K. markets. The steamship companies declined to give any concessions on the ground that lower freights would have no influence in stimulating exports. Next seasons new rates are quoted at 80s. per standard, a reduction of 5s., which by no means meets the views of the export- — ers, who want a drop of a substantial character. “ee The British Government Timber Disposal Department has now | entirely disposed of the Government stocks in Canada, having sold the last block, of about four million feet, to Montague L Meyer, Limited, of London, England. mr 3! An indication of the rising value of pulpwood is seen in the high 3 price paid by the Ontario Paper Co, for Quebec Government limits _ of 2,000 square miles in the basin of the Manicouagan River and the — Outarder River, this company bidding $6.05 stumpage rate per 1,000 — feet or $3.35 over the usual rate.

Exports of pulpwood for December totalled 85,744 cords valued at $836,396 as against 46,379 cords valued at $480,160 in December 1921.

Ottawa Reports That Cold Weather Hurts Trade A slight falling off in the number of orders and inquiries re- ceived marked the Ottawa lumber market during the opening period of February. The slackened demand was attributed to the colder weather shutting off building operations and the difficulty that some American yards are experiencing in getting their shipments through, due to the operation of numerous embargoes. The situation in regard to the embargoes at American entry points and on railroads, if anything grew worse than it had been in January. The reason for this, while it was not fully given at Ottawa, was due to snow storms in the northern states, which fur- ther tended to tie up transportation and. cause congestion at terminal points. Permits for shipping through the embargoed points. grew scarcer, and more difficult to obtain. it, but this sellers took, as a natural consequence of the cold weather and wintry conditions. The slackening up they thought would only be temporary and they believed good business would develop with the coming of the spring. During the early part of the month the temperature sank as low as thirty three degrees below zero at Ottawa, and at many bush camps was considerably lower.- In the Gatineau district tempera- tures of forty below were reported. While the cold weather and the attendant snow storms, served to slacken the lumbermen’s sales, it was hailed with satisfaction by the woods operators, as it brought about ideal conditions for logging. From the camps came reports that there was a shortage of labor beginning to make itself felt. Several companies reported that men who had been in the bush since late last fall, had got a small stake ahead and then left for the cities. A shortage of men to take their places was noted. The operations in the Valley camps are, however, reported to be getting on well and a satisfactory cut is looked for. Prices continued firm and no change in comparison with the January quotations was noted. Reports were, however, current that an advance might be looked for in the manufacturers prices for low k grade stock, It was the contention of some manufacturers that the i spread between the selling price of the best grades and that obtained Ki for the lower grades was “altogether too great and out of proportion. Conditions with the woodworking plants and fatctories showed no : change. : ; ; 4 Conditions in Ontario are Steadily Improving > Judging by the number of building permits that were taken out : in the larger cities during January, there is every indication that 4 1923 is going to show continued activity this spring and summer. : Conditions in the lumber arena are growing more active, the demand is developing on all sides, dry stocks are widely scattered and in fewer hands, and before the new cut is placed on the market, it looks as if there might be a decided shortage in certain erades, widths - and thicknesses, with corresponding advances in price. } Just what state of affairs will prevail after June next when the : new lumber comes on the scene, it is difficult to foretell. In the / meantime, it is the easiest task possible to sell lumber of any kind if you have good, dry stock at a convenient shipping point. In- quiries are numerous and industrial concerns are eagerly scanning the sources of supply. There is a note of confidence and optimism throughout all ranks of the industry which would be immeasurably increased if the developments in Europe showed brighter signs of adjustment. One great danger facing the trade is that of a runaway market and it will require all the possible poise, balance and good judgment to guard against this undesirable turn of things. There is no doubt that the cut this winter in the bush is going to be a record one. One leading manufacturer in Northern Ontario ‘states that practically all the big stocks of white and red pine on the £ north shore have been sold to American interests, for the coming ae ~ season, at a satisfactory advance over last year. It was necessary, he points out, to get an increased figure owing to higher cost of production. Another manufacturer states that wages in the bush this season average about $35.00 per month, with board, as against $26.32 last winter. There is a sufficient amount of labor. Provisions are slightly higher than last season but hay and oats are lower. fowe anticipate,” he added, “a good demand for lumber and lath, and 60 CANADA LUMBERMAN SO ee The domestic demand was not up to what had been expected of expect to pay higher for sidited mill labor this spring, oe oh a po shortage in common labor.” The cold weather and moderate — snow fall have been highly favorable to logging operations in une bush, so most Ontario men report, N f In hardwoods, unusual activity and strength charghesiae wee ee horizon, and in some quarters there is the menace of runaway quota- — tions. Automobile concerns continue to buy heavily and to contract — ahead for desirable supplies. The call for birch and maple in the — better grades is keen and American inquirers are most insistent, > prices not being questioned in numerous instances. All Canadian — industrials, such as furniture factories, piano concerns, etc., are b ginning to make inquiries about replenishing their stocks for thes coming season. Flooring manufacturers are busy and! continue to absorb large quantities of oak and maple. They look for a heavy ~ demand for their product this spring. The car situation is consider ably improved of late. =o Although much was said at the Canadian Lumbermen’s| Asso- _ ciation gathering last month against the danger and difficulty of a runaway market, and many utterances were hurled against such a situation, there is evidence of a steady,—yes even a rapid advance— _ .. and the danger of speculative values cannot be minimized. Those — who have dry stocks are holding them at an exalted figure and are getting their prices, from both “domestic and American consumers. 4 The outlook is stimulating, and stocks are scarce. Production this | winter is ‘being carried on in some centres actively but in others, it is — e reported, that the hardwood log harvest will not be as large as ex- — pected. The full development, so far as the production Dorms is con- | cerned, will not be known for a few nage yet. a Bs Nw Building Activity in 1923 Will be Greater There is a wide-spread optimism in Canada due to the excellent industrial outlook. Lumber is in notably brisk demand, plans are being perfected for an extension of operations: in the iron and steel — trade, pulp and paper manufacturers are well supplied with busi- ness, and prospects for a large amount of new building are birght. It is expected that at least three hundred and sixty-five million dol- © lars will be expended on new construction during 1923. All evidence points to the fact that there will be available an ample amount of — financing for this great volume of projected building COMSEREH ON, says the “Canadian Building Review.” Last year saw the passing of the first erent wave of See dive ia building and construction of the cheaper type, and this year will probably be remembered as a year in which a great volume of good ~ building construction was produced. It is evident that residential — construction will continue in volume almost equal to that of 1922, — with greater activity in the more expensive types of dwellings. The problem of labor conditions is one on. which no forecast can be made, but it is quite probable that 1923 will show a fairly good spirit of co-operation between employers and labor in the building industries. Labor leaders are becoming more foresighted, and in certain of the trades there is a growing interest in the apprentice problem and in the idea of cvolbaees ts a larger propesiee of new men into the ranks, <4 The great drop in construction costs is over, and those ah aan to build may do so in 1923 without fear of loss through the ee i of existing building values incidental to rapid deflation. ~ During January, construction contracts awarded in Canada, ac- cording to MacLean Building Reports, Limited, amounted to $9,840,- 800 compared with $8,392,600 in January, 1922. Residential build- — ing accounted for 26.5% of the January total and amounted to sa 604 400. Business building amounted to $2,858,400 or 29%; indus- trial building, $1,916,000 or 19.5%; public works and utilities, $2,- 462,000 or 25%. The value of Cone new work cous Janu- ; ary amounted to $36,714,600. ig More Northern Pulpwood Limits Sold The Algoma Central Railway and the Spanish River Pulp & Paper Mills, Limited, were the successful tenderers for the timber in Hawkins township, sold recently by the Department of Lands a and Forests, Toronto.

Honore Mercier, Minister of Lands, entitled an Act to develop forest instruction, instruction in paper making, and to promote forest research. ‘The law refers first to the necessity of completing the system of forestry instruction by the establish- ment of a school for forest rangers in order to assure the recruiting of officers for the protection of the forests, and for the control of cutting and of the measuring of the timber in the Crown domains and priv ate lands. The provisions of the law are also to establish and organize a paper-making instruction institution to recruit expert workmen and technical men for the making of wood pulp and by-products of the fibre. Also to allow experiments to be made for the rational use of forest products. The new law gives powers to the Lieutenant-Governor on the recommendation of the Minister of Lands and Forets, to make the necessary arrangements and agreements for the following purposes: 1. To establish and organize a school of forest rangers intended to assume the recruiting of officers for the protection of the forests and for the control of cutting and the measttirement of the timber on Crown and private lands; 2. To establish and organize complete instruction in paper- making in the Province of Quebec, with a view to recruiting expert workmen as well as technical men for the making of pulpwood, paper and other similar products or by-products form the fibre; a 3. In order to secure the proper working of stations and labor- | atories for forest research in the Province of Quebec. The sum of $120,000 is asked to meet the requirements and an additional amount of $15,000 annually for the maintaining of a chair or school of instruction in forestry and surveying. The Chief of the Forestry Service, Mr. Gustave Piche, is to tbe Inspector General of instruction in forestry and director-general of the stations or laboratories of forest research. 4 SF ah “4 2? ~~ j Big Dividends from National Parks ‘ “Sir John A. Macdonald’s prediction at the time of the establish- ; ment of the Canadian National Parks, that ‘they will recuperate the people and recoup the people’s treasury,’ is now coming true,” said J. B. Harkin, minister of the dominion parks branch of the depart- ment of the interior, at a recent lecture on the national parks in Ottawa. How true was the prediction, was shown, said Mr. Harkin, by the figures for last year. The parks, with a total upkeep expendi- ! ture of about $900,000, had brought into the country more than $19,- ’ 500,000 in foreign money from tourists who visited Canada with : the sole purpose of seeing these great works of nature. This was a dividend to the people of Canada of more than 2,000 per cent. Mr. Harkin pointed out that exporting scenery in this way by selling it to tourists was capable of being developed into one of the country’s most important sources of revenue. @4 « sz Mr. Barnjum Gets After Mr. Caine Frank J. D. Barnjum ,of Montreal, in a recent“letter to the press says: I read an article recently containing a statement by Mr, Hall Caine that the forest resources of Canada.are not yet even , scratched. I am rather at a loss to understand what could have pro- | mpted Mr. Hall Caine to make such a misleading and entirely Y erroneous statement. Certainly not a knowledge of the facts. If ' the forest resources of Canada are not yet scratched, then of course all our forest conservationists, including our good Canadian Fores- : try Association, are simply wasting their time, and I have wasted . some sixty thousand dollars during the past year alone in my en- deavor to prolong the life of our rapidly disappearing wood supply, as I have felt it was the most important work that I could do for my country. Statements like those of Mr. Hall Caine’s, when read by people outside the country who are not familiar with the situa- ~ tion, do a great deal of harm. Mr. Hall Caine speaks of developing D or extending our network of railways. Where would he propose J these extensions? We have already more railways in Canada than : we can support. There is now a network from the Atlantic to the = Pacific, barring the barren Labrador country and the frozen, scrubby _ north country. We have a fair sample of what that means in the recent abandonment of the Hudson Bay Railway, a line through _ acountry so devoid of wood growth that Government reports stated there was not sufficient timber along the entire route to furnish wood for construction of the road, and the fact that the road has since been abandoned fully proves that these reports were correct. A Canadian paper manufacturer told me the other day that there are already twice as many paper mills in Canada as there _ should be. Another official of one of the larger paper companies fs | CANADA LUMB ERMAN : ost jot ‘ is ae the best virgin stands of hardwood in the province, besides which another pulp or paper mill built in the East. I fave fase receivec a report from New Brunswick from one of my cruisers which stat that more than sixty per cent. of the spruce over large areas has- died in that Province during the past summer, so that previous re- ports given out earlier in the spring as to the amount of damage from insect pests will have to be doubled and possibly trebled. The statements that I have made as to our critical forest situa- tion are based on my own personal investigations, so that I kn whereof I speak, and I have made the offer to the Government tf if they will appoint an unbiased commission I will take them on four months’ cruise over our “unscratched” forest resources at fr own expense, and if they do not report conditions worse than I ha stated them to be, that I will never mention the question of forest conservation in Canada again. ee. Liberal Prizes Open to All Lumbermen In conformity with its- policy of practical accomplishment in the elimination of waste and the greater utilization of the products — of the forest, the National Lumber Manufacturers’ Association, of — Washington, has again offered a series of prizes which will be awarded to those who contrive the best method, the newest ma-— chine or device, which, in practical application, ‘will result in an appreciable saving of labor, time, material or expense in the lumber — manufacturing industry. Heretofore a single prize of $1,000 wa offered each year to the successful contestant. 9 At the present time the National Lumber Manufacturers As- — sociation is offering prizes amounting to $2,000, which will be divided as follows: First prize $1,000; second prize $500 ; ites prizes of $100; four prizes of $50. 7 The following are the conditions of the anaed The Award Committee will be the sole judge as to the eligibility of all sugges- tions submitted to this competition. The comparative value and practical merit of all suggestions - or material submitted will be judged by the actual commercial gain to be obtained and will be determined by the Award Committee of © lumber manufacturers to be chosen from the ne of the Na-~ tional Lumber Manufacturers Association. 4 All suggestions or material must be submitted to the Technical — and Research Department of the National Lumber Manufacturers” Association, International Building, Washington, D.C. After the prize is awarded the National Lumber Manufacturers _ Association reserves the right to publish at its discretion, sketches, designs or illustrative and descriptive matter covering any sugges- tions or material submitted, the benefits under patents to be retained — by the contestant. < f If the competition develops suggestions or material that will fulfill these requirements, award will be made in 1923 at the 21st annual convention of the National Lumber Manufacturers Associa- tion. Ss Will Get Out Hardwood for Export The McNeil Lumber Co., Limited, Montreal, have purchased — 3 the McCool hardwood limit, Amable Du Fond, Ont., with an area of © 43/2 square miles. The cruiser reports the limit to contain one of there is a large quantity of railway timber, hemlock, pine and spruce. The company intends to cut the hardwoods for ‘the export trade. It is also proposed to manufacture a large quantity of ties. — The property is situated on the main line of the C.P.R. near ae Hawa. It is intended to operate saw and tie mills. a + —_ Water-killed Trees Can be Made into Pulp In the development of water powers on Canadian rivers the. erection of a dam has sometimes eaused large areas of forest land to be inundated. The trees on these areas are drowned by such con- tinuous submersion and the wood appears similar to dead and wea- thered wood. The use of such wood for sulphite pulp has been re- garded as impracticable but the Forest Products Labrortories of Canada, Forestry Branch, Department of the Interior, have made trials of this material and find that the discolouration due to water is hardly perceptible in the unbleached pulp while in the bleached product every trace of colour due to the special nature of the ma-— terial disappears entirely. Grain harvests may be a complete failure one year and be com-_ pensated for the next year, but the destruction of a forest area by fire cannot be made good in half a century. Hence no efforts oven to be spared to keep fire out of the forest. ; wl —* gy 1 I Meets Every Northern Logging Need In swamping out roads, toting supplies, skidding logs, or making up and hauling trains, the North- * ern “Caterpillar”* Logger does all the things a ~ machine must do to be a real success in winter log- - ging work. Its flexible tracks enable it to climb over obstructions, cross small gullies, and operate - uninterruptedly both on and off the road. It is easy to control, turns in its own length and pro- vides the correct speed for every operation. _ Where heavy snowfalls bury the roads and camps, _ the Northern “Caterpillar”* Logger quickly plows _ through the drifts and gets traffic moving. We _ are equipped to give immediate service on spare _ parts.

This winter the Linn Logging Tractors will be found operating as far East as Newfoundland and as far West as the Port Arthur District, and as far North as Cobalt. It is our hope that every Canadian Logger will this winter avail himself of the opportunity to see Linn Logging Tractors in operation during the haul. As Linn Logging Tractors will be in operation this winter within easy reach of every locality in Ontario, Quebec and Newfoundland, any operator will be able to see a Linn Logging Tractor operation without loss of much time from his own operation. We will gladly supply any interested operators with the name of his nearest neighbor who is using Linn Equipment. —Logging Department— MUSSENS LIMITED Dubrule Building Philips Place Montreal $8 CANADA LUMBERMAN AW MILL fe MACHINERY: Qi ee __LUMBERMEN'S i standardual on “Long” Machingaay NO. 5 LATH BOLTER | The No. 3 Lath Bolter is famous for the quality and quantity of work it turns out.

From there he went to the Ontario Lumber Company Ltd., eventually’ becoming Secretary-Treasurer, and finally to Terry & Gordon Limited also as Secretary-Treasurer, which position he continues to hold in the new firm. Mr. J. E. Green Montreal representative of Terry & Gordon Limited, also retains the same position with the new company, with headquarters in Montreal. Mr. R. A. Watt is one of the best known lumber salesmen calling upon the trade in Western Ontario and the Niagara Peninsula. Mr. A. E.

C. os ci Westminster Mill Co. CANADA LUMBERMAN BUY The life of a British Columbia Red Cedar Shin gle Roof can almost be gauged by the life of the nail with which the shingle is nailed in place. Judging from available data, the average life of the ordinary steel wire nail, which has been in such common use, is only from seven to twelve years. Some wire nails will last longer, depending upon the condition of exposure, climate and similar features, but considering our climate as a whole, at the end of from seven to twelve years a large percentage of wire nails will have rusted either completely through or so extensively that the first strong wind will complete the work. The shingles that have been held in position by such nails are then free to work down, permitting rains or melting snows to leak through and damage the interior of the structure. Examination will disclose that the fibre of the shingle itself is still in perfect condition, and a leaky roof, in the majority of occasions is due entirely to the use of faulty — nails, but the average home owner, placed at such inconvenience, will not stop to reason this out” and the poor wooden shingle comes in for more unjust abuse. There are several kinds of nails which experience has proven will give lasting satisfaction, and the wise. dealer will advise his customers of these satisfactory nails. A pure zinc shingle nail meets all the demands of durability required. Its principal drawback is its high cost and a slight tendency to bend under careless driving. Galvanized wire nails theoretically are rust proof, and if the galvanized coating is properly applied, and of sufficient thickness, such a nail will last as long as the shingle it holds in place. The life of this shingle roof, properly applied with these nails then is from 40 to 50 years. Pure iron nails, or the old cut or wrought nails are ideal but difficult to secure. Copper nails also constitute a perfect shingle nail. Vancouver Lumber Co., Ltd. Manufacturers XXX—XXXXX CEDAR | SHINGLES | (B. C. Inspected) f Head Office, Eastern Sales Office © Vancouver, B.C.

Alex C. Gordon, chair- man,-called the attention of the members to the list of standing com- mittees appointed by the directors for 1923. They are as follows :— Admission & Membership—F. H. Bigwood, (chairman), H. McDermid, A. E. Read. Inspection—W. FE, Bigwood, (chairman), Jno. McBean, Ernest Parsons: Audit & Finance—A. E. Gordon, (chairman), J. Alex. Read. Bureau of Information—H. G.

Fox, (chairman), Hugh Rose, A. E. Cates. The chairman explained that in the past the Entertainment Committee found their numerous duties in preparing the social ac- tivities rather onerous for only three. He suggested that an amend- ment to the constitution be made to include two more members on the Committee. Accordingly A. E. Read read the amendment to the number which was carried unanimously and recorded in the con- stitution by the secretary. L. D. Barclay, chairman of the Entertainment Committee, ask- ed the members how many were in favor of holding an Association dance in the near future. He reminded them of what a good time they had at the last event of that kind, and assured them, with past experiences behind them, the Entertainment Committee were eager to make the next dance the best ever. It was thought advisable to __ have the secretary send out a questionnaire to the members for the benefit of those who were not present, asking them if they were in favor of holding such a function. About the first week in April, it was decided, would be ample time to make the necessary arrange- ments and a definite date would be announced later, when it is learn- ed what the majority of the members think of the suggestion. Chairman Gordon, before proceeding further, remarked on the absence of G. B. Van Blaricom, Editor of the “Canada Lumberman,” Owing to the recent death of his wife. A.C. Manbert reviewed the friendly relations of Mr. Van Blaricom and the Association and G. L. MacFarlane, In, leivelkehrGlic ID (Ge Mr. Manbert Says that New Conditions and New Circumstances are Entering into Business Today -Tells How the Future Should be Met—Strongly Urges Elimination of Extravagant Practices and Sets Forth Need for Sane Definite Values, Increased Efficiency and Economy of Operation and Distribution—Standing Committees Appointed for Coming Year moved that a resolution of sympathy be tendered him on behalf of the wholesalers. At the next monthly meeting the chairman announced that a treat was in store for the wholesalers, when James B. Tudhope, of Orillia, would be the speaker of the evening. Those who know Mr. Tudhope and his bright manner of delivery will not fail to be on hand next month to hear him speak on “Some Aspects of Modern Civili- zation in Relation to Our Everyday Life.” In announcing the next item on the programme the chairman regretted that some of the scheduled speakers for the evening were indisposed, therefore he had much pleasure in granting unlimited time to A. C. Manbert to deal fully with his subject “Lumber Market Conditions.” Mr, ‘Manbert opened by saying he was proud to be the only speaker who had not “passed the buck.” He admitted that the subject in hand was a good one, but he always felt that when address- ing men who knew perhaps more about conditions than he did him- self, his utterances were generally discounted at the start Mr: Manbert was, however, wrong for once as was evidenced by the hearty handclap when he concluded. Mr. Manbert on Trade Outlook Mr. Manbert stated that time alone would tell whether at the present time we were passing through a long period of business im- provement or whether we were just experiencing a temporary re- action from the former period of depression. His own idea was that the situation was rather of the latter type than the former, but in saying so, he fully realized that new conditions and new circum- stances were entering into our business and social life and into our relationships to such an extent that the free play of natural forces had not the same opportunity to-day as it might have had in earlier times. Mr. Manbert then devoted himself to a consideration of the labor factor in the present business situation. Labor, of course, was the real promoting and developing factor. We started with our natural resources but it required labor and capital to bring them into rela- tion with one another and to enable them to become effective. Labor today was decidedly short and, under the instinct to labor less for for various reasons and the instinct to curtail our immigration, the fact was that labor, both numerically and its individual attitude, was very much reduced. On the other hand, we had, of course, implementing forces in improved mechanical methods which, to a considerable degree at least, helped to overcome the labor factor. Practically speaking, business was good today because every- body was well-employed, both in this country and the United States. The reports of the Ontario Labor Bureau bore out this fact striking- ly. It was really surprising to see how very seldom all through this winter there had been any reference made in these reports to real want, whereby municipalities had been forced to indulge in such uneconomical measures as shovelling snow from the gutter into the street, or vice versa, to make work. The steel mills were busy. The prospects for the use of building materials were good. Increased 38 CANADA LUMBERMAN a activities in industrial concerns were furnishing assurance for a definite and constant volume of business during 1923. All through the situation, there persisted the problem of a satis- factory increment out of business operation. Mr. Manbert presumed that the real thing troubling most people today was how to do busi- ness at a profit. There was a large volume of business ‘being done but the margin of profit was small. In every line of productive operation, the real concern today was how to produce at a profit. Economists and statisticians were pretty well convinced that the primary producers, the manufacturers, and the people who had an opportunity and an incentive to restrict unfruitful and extravagant practices, should study the problem intimately with a view to limit- _ ing and eliminating these extravagances and bringing their business down to a more substantial basis. The Margin of Profit is Small The members of the Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association * were largely distributors and they had their part to play today in the elimination of extravagant practices, in the same way as the manu- facturer and producer. He did not suppose that any of them could sound any note of extreme idealism or take any very exalted stand H. G. McDermid, Toronto, Ont. One of the newly-elected Directors of W.L.D.A. and Chairman of Bureau of Information in the matter of personal responsibility, nor did he overlook the fact that they were engaged in an extremely competitive enterprise. He was satisfied that none of them wanted to see a runaway market. They wanted to see business on a sound, enduring and stable basis. They were really very weary of the necessity for meeting continually alternating experiences—not meeting, but trying to catch the ex- pected actions and reactions of the market. What they all wanted was a little ease, a little relief, a little reaction and a little oppor- tunity to carry on business in a normal way; and he thought that they could help in the process, help themselves and help the general situation by striving, as best they could, to lose sight of the “price” idea and to keep in mind what he might call the “service” idea in their business. He did not want to assume any foolish attitude. He knew that self-preservation dictated to each one of them to ‘buy as,cheaply as he could and to sell as dearly as he could; but their ability to do so would depend upon what their definite policy was. In 1919 and 1920, they had bought everything in sight, because they thought they could get away with it before anything happened, but, alas, they found they could not do it and in the end every one of them got a little tar on his fingers and some of it stuck pretty badly. ‘ _ Eliminate Speculative Increment Idea What he felt they should do today was that every one of them should try to eliminate from his mind the idea of speculative incre- ment and run his business: with the idea of the trading increment. In other words, they should buy their lumber with the idea of seeing if they could make a profit on the then selling price as compared with the then buying price. If they could not, they should try to find out whether they were expecting too large a profit or whether their selling force was not working well; whether there was any- 4 thing in their business that spelt lack of economy and lack of a © definite productive force. a All this really amounted only to an attitude toward the market. No one of them could hope to change the arrangement of things, nor to stem the tide of things, but each of them in his own way and to his own satisfaction could adopt a policy that would be a definite factor towards stability this year, and would help make 1923 a more successful year for themselves, and help also in laying the foundation for the future, if they would set their faces toward the idea of bringing their business down to a recognized basis in all of the practices that ran in and through their ‘business operations. As usual ‘Mr. Manbert’s message was both timely and interest- ing and chairman Gordon in thanking him, said they were much im- — pressed by the points brought out. C. W. Wilkinson spoke briéfly and said he could not add any- — thing to the remarks of ‘Mr. Manbert. He was in accord with his © outlook. Business was looking better every day. The chairman asked Mr. Frank Kent to address the members, and as no subject was specified, he chose one apparently very close to his heart. He told of the great work that he and others were help- — ing to carry on among the under-privileged boys of Toronto: Sever- al cases he related where conditions in the homes he visited or were brought to his attention were heartrending. He praised the work of Judge Mott, of the Juvenile Court, Toronto, with whom he was co- operating. A summer home was being conducted at Wilcox Lake, North Yonge St., Toronto, to look after the lads whom the Judge considered worthy of being given a chance, rather than sending them to the confines of a criminal asylum. Mr. Kent concluded ‘by em- phasizing how essential it was for a father to be a chum to his boy, to try to enter into his life and understand him and to spend a portion of his time with his son, Mr. Gordon thanked Mr. Kent for his talk on the great work he was doing and added that numerous instances he knew of, had come to mind, of boys in comfortable homes who had taken the wrong path because their fathers had not been a companion to them. Fundamental Status of Lumber Trade The fundamental economic status of the lumbe rtrade should give us substantial satisfaction. The lumber industry has emerged from the depths of depression with greater rapidity and in a more orderly way than have the vast majority of the basic industries, says Dr. Wilson Compton, of Washington, manager of the National Lum- ber Manufacturers Association. This general characterization of the lumber situation is, of course, small comfort to those individual] enterprises, small in proportion, but large in aggreate number, which have not (been able, because of collapse in their transportation ser- vice, to share substantially in the active lumber movement during much of the past ten months. rf The industry as a whole has much depleted and ill-assorted stocks. It ‘begins the year in a situation more favorable in this re- spect than that of a year ago. Unless the transportation service can be made more regular and more uniformly distributed, it is not un- likely that after the first of the year there will be an erratic move- ment in the relativeley scarce stocks even though the general aver- age may be not greatly changed’ In any event there is no substanti- al indication that the lumber situation in 1923 will not be as good as in 1922. On the other hand there are many indications, not practic- able of enumeration, that it will be as good or better; and so far as fundamental conditions of supply and demand are concerned, good for a considerable period of years to come Thirty Thousand Lumberjacks Employed ° Activity now reigning in the lumber camps is said to have reach- ed the record of the year 1920, and the production this year is ex- pected to be normal as compared with the calm of last year. Tihe estimation of the Department of Lands and Forests for Que- bec it that between 28,000 to 30,000 lumberjacks are now in the camps. All the regions of the province are aftected lby this renewal of work in the lumlber camps. } The price of saw wood and pulp wood is said to be stabiliz- ing, while its delivery is being facilitated ‘by the return of thousands — of cars from the west, which had been used for the shipment of grain. — Freight cars, which had been detained in the United States have also — ceturned and the situation is said to be most promising for the spring. — — There are few farms that have not some corners, hills or ravines, or other untillable ground, where trees might be the only crop. It is a selfish argument with some, that the planter of a tree does not — live long enough to benefit by it. This is not strictly true, but, if it were, every man should be glad to do something for the next genera- tion and perhaps he could do no better than to plant a tree. CANADA LUMBERMAN 39 Contract Physician and His Work in Camps Great Progress Has Been Made in Sanitation and Improved Health of the Men in the Bush—Qualities Which Make for Right Kind of Doctor By Alex. R. Whit, North Bay, Ont. ; My purpose in writing this ar- ticle is to place as clearly as pos- sible before those interested in the role played by the contract physicians with respect to indus- try, and to show the value that should accrue from the pains- taking effort of the right type of man. It seems to be the practice of many writers of such subjects to refrain from saying the things likely to hurt, and, indeed, many seem to dodge in and about so much without making a positive statement that a great deal of value would seem to be lost. To treat our topic in this manner | consider would not only be a serious mistake, but would leave the reader in much the same po- sition as before reading our ar- ; ticle. We shall therefore, as one Se North Bay, Ont. of your recent correspondents ably stated, tell you what this official did in the past, what he is do- ing at present, and what we believe he must do in the not too far distant future (and let the chips fall where they may). Ts In connection with the lumber industry of Ontario, there are em- ployed roughly sixty-five contract physicians) The greater portion of these contract is on the basis of a season operation, renewing the agreement each successive season. !t is common for a physician to hold as many as six contracts with different lumbermen, particular- ly if the operations are of a small nature. In recent years several of our larger contractors, particularly those doctors who are associated with paper milling plants and. the larger pine operators, have entered into agreements which continue from year to year, with a clause providing for cancellation at say thirty days notice. I rather favor this latter style of contract, for I am certain it makes for greater efficiency in the physician. I have noticed that many doctors who contract in the manner first men- tioned carry out their duties in a very lackadaisical manner. The reason is obvious; a small contract and no assurance of continuity, whereas those who are fortunate and far-seeing enough to contract on a continuous basis have something to look forward to and are able to study the employer’s business, taking pride in the annual im- provement in sanitation for which they have ‘been largely responsible. The regulations of the Provincial Board of Health state that em- ployers of labor may contract, firstly for the sanitary supervision of all camps, works, etc., if situated in unorganized territory; and sec- ondly, they may also contract for the medical care of their employees. Let us, for greater clarity, analyse the two questions, sanitary super- vision and medical care. You will notice I place the question of supervision, or prevention, first. This attitude, I contend, is sound, for since we are primarily.a preventative institution our business, and the chief work of the company physician, should in the first in- stance be to prevent the incident of contagious diseases among the employees, and in order to do so he must become to some extent the sanitary inspector and the health officer for the company with whom he is associated. Greater Precautions Against Disease I feel perfectly justified in the statement that contracting physi- cians in past years have not dealt with the question of prevention as the situation demanded. If this were not so, the record of communi- cable diseases prevalent in past years when compared with the pre- sent would not be so apparent. It might be argued that employers frown at the doctor who criticizes the camp buildings, the unsanitary conditions which may exist at the cookery door, or the proximity of the water hole to the stable or outdoor closet. Personally, however, we feel that if the case is properly presented the employer will readi- ly remove these hazards. It must be remembered the supervisor is the teacher in this manner, and if the pupil be delinquent it is the duty of the teacher to devise new means in order to present his case in a more interesting light) Therefore, while the physician of a de- cade ago might carry on, surrounded by hazards of a serious nature. the doctor of today knows full well that the finding of unsanitary conditions likely to lead to typhoid fever and death at his camps will necessitate an explanation as to his apparent neglect either to have matters corrected or to advise the board in his monthly report, The doctor is in a rather difficult position. Apparently he is trying to serve two masters, an impossible situation. He is apfoint- ed by the company, but may only be removed from office during the currency of his agreement with the approval of the Board ;—exactly the same arrangement as a Medical Officer of Health for a town or city, and be it noted he is performing exactly the same work. The security of tenure original in the regulations of May 1921, is for the purpose of leaving the physician’s hands free to deal with health mat- ters affecting the welfare of the employees, and which in turn would, of course, effect the employers’ business. The second half of the question—medical care of the man. Just what is implied here has I am sure, been well-known to both em- ployer and employee alike. It is a form of insurance. One dollar, or a fraction thereof, is deducted monthly from each man’s pay. The doctor visits the camp monthly or as often as his contract requires him, at which time he treats any men who are in need, and many physicians also supply hospital accommodation when necessary. It should be known, however, that the supplying of hospital accom- modation has never been an obligation on the part of the odctor, al- though if he contracts to so do, the law would seem to be satisfied. Legally, however, the obligation is a company one or an obligation on the part of the employer. The Board have had little fault to find, generally speaking, with the carrying out of medical care’on the part of physicians. Good Control of Any Outbreaks I have heard the statement made frequently by well-informed people living in towns and cities from which lumbermen draw their supply of men, that lumber camps were breeding places for all man- ner of diseases. I have also heard the same remark passed ‘by sever- al physicians. Some of whom further state that these towns and cities are polluted by men returning from camps from whom spring epidemics of such diseases as smallpox, typhoid fever and mumps: I am not prepared to say that epidemics have not sprung from men returning sick from camps, This is quite possible. [ do know, how- ever, that the camps are polluted by the diseases mentioned, by the employees being shipped to camp from homes where communicable diseases exist, unknown to the authorities of these same towns and cities. Of this we have ample proof. It should be pointed out that the control of communicable diseases in camps under our present arrangement is relatively easy as compared with the control of epi- demics in densely populated communities. Indeed I see no reason for any disease becoming epidemic in our woods camps, that is to say beyond the first one or two cases. I also believe that when any or our common and well-known diseases assumes serious propor- tions there is a general laxness somewhere requiring investigation. Taking the industry as a whole, contagious or communicable diseases are somewhat rare as compared with towns or cities. This is a statement which it seems hard to credit, but is nevertheless a fact. The perplexing problems to be met with by the city Health Officer in his search for the original infective agent, the first case in any epidemic, together with the method of transmission, is, by reason of the simple life of the woodsman, fairly easy to diagnose and to control. It should be remembered that to quarantine a town or even a village, is generally impracticable, and often without value. It is true you might prevent transportation companies from carry- ing passengers to and from an infected town, thus protecting the communities adjacent thereto. You cannot however, control the comings and goings of individuals within the infected town after the disease has become widespread and sometimes it is difficult to administer the necessary immunizing serums or vaccines. There are, of course, difficulties to be met in imposing quaran- tine in woods camps and the contract physician must needs have a 40 strong personality if he is to convince employees, as well as the management, that such a restriction is necessary. The camp, how- ever, has this advantage over the community in that it may be said to represent a glib family with the foreman the head of the home, and once quarantine is properly imposed you know exactly just who are affected. Those exposed, but who have not yet come down with the disease, may still attend to the daily duties so that matters go on as usual, save that no one may leave camp or mingle with the gen- eral public An added precaution taken is that no “employees must be discharged or Ge ed while under restraint. Few men will therefore leave camp leaving behind them a month’ swages. This procedure may not be strictly according to jaw, but it is justifiable and distinctly effective. Surely the end justifies the means when human life is envolved, particularly when no great hard- ship is being imposed. In contrasting the prevalence of infectious diseases of recent years with the present time, I would ask you to note carefully how a general knowledge of the modes of infestation have assisted in bringing about this greatly desired result. It is not sufficient that your doctor and the Board’s inspector only possess the knowledge of how these diseases are spread. Every camp foreman, every walking boss or superintendent, and even your employees must begin to understand, at least, the simple facts con- cerning these putea and, to this end, I believe short talks to the men in the bunk houses on simple hygiene would tbe good. Men must be taught that typhoid fever is not obtainable by drinking wa- ter from a virgin swamp far removed from human habitation. They must learn rather that in some manner are discharges from some in- fected person’s bowels has been swallowed either “through drinking water or carried by flies from an open closet to an unscreened kitchen or possibly some one connected with the cookery staff is carrier of the disease. The Smallpox Scourage and Deaths From the late Inspector G. Young’s reports I find that from 1910 until 1916, no special statistics representing the occurrence of disease in camps have been kept. It would seem that such statistics have been compiled in the Board’s blue book by district. I find it quite impossible, therefore to state definitely the proportion of these cases which may have occurred in camps. I find, however, that in 1910 smallpox occurred at Kearney, Whitney, Massey and in some camps near Cobalt and, of course, we have in the same year the great typhoid fever scourage at Cobalt, Kelso, Porcupine and Haileybury, and while it might be argued that mining camps are different, yet there was in those days a certain similarity. At Cobalt, there were according to the records one thousand one hundred cases, but no mention is made of the death toll: In 1911, I find Dr. R. W. Bell makes mention of smallpox and typhoid fever at camps near Madawaska and at the mouth of the Spanish River. He also states that the stage would seem to be for a general smallpox epidemic throughout Northern Ontario. The ra- pidity with which communicable diseases unsupervised may spread is well instanced by reference to the epidemic of typhoid fever at Ot- tawa during this year for in Dr. R. W. Bell’s report to the Board he mentions that from January first to March eighteenth no fewer than eleven hundred and ninety-six cases developed, with a heavy death toll. I could give you some interesting figures of the prevalence of these diseases in construction camps, particularly in railway camps. These stories I have gathered from physicians who supervised the works at that time. I make no further mention of these, however, there being no official record to support my claims. It has always ‘been a difficult matter to separate the diseases which occur in any particular industry in territory without municipal organization. The physician in attendance might send his returns to the nearest Medical Officer or to the Secretary of the Board at Tor- CANADA LUMBERMAN onto, but I suspect that in many instances no returns whatever may have been made. We of today experience this same difficulty, but to a lesser extent. By careful watching and co-operative arrange- ments with the contract physician we can generally tell almost ex- actly the number of infectious diseases which occur in camps during winter, and in addition we make a point of knowing just what may have been responsible for the outbreak We expect the doctor to — write a history of the case when reporting (as he must) each month, The Record in Cutting Camps From the year 1918 until the end of the season of 1922, the fol- lowing diseases occured in cutting camps :— 1918, Smallpox, Byng Inlet, 6 cases Foleyet, 6 cases 1919, Smallpox, Biscotasing, 10 cases Camp near Timmins, 2 cases 1920, Smallpox, Kemny’s Siding 1 case Laveck, 5 cases Madawaska, 3 cases Camp, Township of Blythe 1 case 1921, Smallpox, Kenebeek, 1 case Kiosh, 8 cases McLaren’s Bay, 3 cases Biulem Wale: 1 case Kenny's Siding, 1 case Total 44 cases 1918, Typhoid Fever, Georgian Bay Lmbr, Co., 11 cases 1919, Dysentery, Espanola, : 20 cases 1920, Typhoid Fever, Woods camps near Gogama _ 10-cases 1921, Typhoid Fever, Kenny’s Siding, iecase ~ Brule Lake, 1 case ‘Chudleigh, 1 case Joko River, 2 cases Keewatin Lumber Co., 2 cases Total Typhoid 28 cases Dysentery 20 cases Mumps, Pakesley, 2 cases Reported cases for the year mentioned 94 cases When we consider the total case record for the years mention- ed as being ninety-four cases, and add to this the fact that we are possibly, taking into consideration our woods camps, saw mills, etc., employing roughly thirty-five thousand men, this is very reasonable and would constitute an enviable record for most towns of, say, ten thousand inhabitants. The Kind of Doctor to Engage Someone may ask why smallpox cases seem to have Betusced largely in the districts of Nipissing, Temiskaming and Sudbury. This is known among health workers as smallpox territory, by which I mean that there is a great, unvaccinated population there, and for some reason or other the large French population of these districts seems to provide us with most of our cases, particularly in organized — territory. Let me say in conclusion, lumber companies should choose the type of physician who is to control the destinies of the operation with great discretion, for the Doctor, who has the real interests of the company at heart and is popular with the men is a big asset. He must needs be a man in whom the pioneering instinct is strong. He must like the rough work, not wholly for the generous remuneration it provides, but also for the progress he is able to make in bettering living conditions at a minimum of cost, and above all he must be liked by the lumberjacks or he cannot succeed. These are some of the qualities I think your physician should. possess and to this end our Board are always anxious to assist em- ployers in selecting a suitable doctor for their particular work. Some Short Lengths Culled for Busy Readers Business is like a wheelbarrow—it stands still unless someone pushes it. - “One kind word while you can hear it, beats a brass band on your last ride.” We doubt if national langh week will be unanimous success. Somebody is sure to have a note falling due in that week. The majority of lumbermen who have seen electrified outfits at work are enthusiastic about this form of motive power. It is claimed that before long electric. logging will receive official recognition be- cause of the anxiety of governments to prevent forest fires. The convincing argument is, of course, the fact that it costs less, output is increased, and lumbermen are willing to listen to arguments of this kind. j Canada has over 2,500 sawmills and there is some kind of log- ging outfit feeding nearly every one of them. The total capital in- vested in the lumber industry amounts to about $235,000,000 making it one of Canada’s greatest industries.. The adoption of electric drive wherever possible, is a feasible thing, one worth working for and ~ easily capable of accomplishment, if lumbermen are shown what electricity will do for them.

C. Laidlaw, of Toronto, is chairman, was presented at the recent annual meeting of the Asso- ciation in Windsor, Ont., and aroused much interest. Under the heading of “Fire Insurance” the report, which was adopted, said :— This is a subject that should have the careful consideration of eyery member of our Association; as it is a matter of much impor- tance in the lumber business. It has been suggested that a lumber mutual insurance company might be organized in Ontario. Your committee, as at present constituted, is not in favor of this proposal. The field in Ontario for a company specializing in lumber risks only is too limited, in our opinion, to give a fair average. There are in the United States a number of quite large lumber mutual companies that have been very successful because they have a large field in which to work. A great many of our members are familiar with these companies and carry insurance with them. ~ Our local Canadian companies have been jealous of the competi- tion of these outside companies, and for some time have been try- ‘ing to get legislation to shut them out. During 1922 an Act was passed imposing a tax of 5% on the net premiums paid to unlicensed _ foreign companies, including the lumber mutuals. This tax is rather irritating, and we hope during 1923 to succeed in having it repealed. ~The lumber mutual companies, however, have undertaken to refund to their clients the amount of this tax; so as far as we are concerned, it has not meant any additional cost of insurance. 7 Workmen’s Compensation Insurance This is a subject that is becoming of more interest to all of us every year, as it affects our expenses very considerably. itheyacci- dent cost shows signs of becoming less. The report for 1922 is not yet available, but the report for the year 1921 indicates a reduction in the amount of compensation paid. The Workmen’s ‘Compensation Board has fixed the provisional rate for Class 4, planing mills, etc., at $2.00, which is the same as the rate for 1921. We hope that there may be a reduction in the rate for 1923, but that will depend on the actual figures for 1922 when they are finally issued. It is tiresome to listen to a list of figures being read, so this re- port will not impose on you at any length in that regard) You will be interested, however, in these figures for comparison between the final results of 1920 and 1921 in our class. ‘Powall Mee aCe eee $302,000 $266,000 ; WiieeMenGitle «02... 2.14 -+ sees 286,000 217,000 Actual compensation paid .......... 85,000 69,000 PeamtotetmieaiCal did |... .s5.. 6... ee eee 26,000 19,000 The other expenditures are made up of pensions and compen- sation estimated for outstanding accidents and continuing disabilities. The Workmen’s Compensation Board has accumulated a very heal- _ thy balance to cover contigencies, and we hope that very soon they will consider the amount collected sufficient to provide for all the _ contingencies, and will reduce our rates. . The only sure method of reducing rates is to reduce our acci- dents. We think a great deal can be accomplished in this direction by educating our employees to the safety idea. We urge each em- ployer, superintendent and foreman to give serious thought to this subject, and to try and get the interest of the men directed on safety- first lines, The Wood Workers Accident Prevention Association has been _ organized to help this work. Their inspectors call regularly at each of your plants with the idea of assisting you to reduce the cost of accidents. They will suggest to you how the physical hazards may 5 be reduced by the use of mechanical safeguards. They are also work- ing in your interest to keep before your men the idea of safety. When these inspectors call, please give them an opportunity to be of service. Accidents in Yards and Mills Through the kindness of the Workmen’s Compensation Board, our committee has been given access to a special memorandum showing certain outstanding causes of accidents in planing mills and umber yards. During the year 1922 the heaviest accident record is om handling material, which accounts for 19% of all accidents in r class. Trim and rip saws account for 10% of the accidents, and other saws not specified for 13%. Other machine tools account for 10% of the accidents, and hand tools for 6%. ‘The following is the order in which the machine accidents have happened. The largest number of machine accidents occur on jointers, next come planers, then stickers, shapers, lathes, sanders, tenoners, and abrasive wheels: Some of the most serious accidents in the point of cost occur through blood poisoning. It has been found that wood slivers cause blood poisoning, and great care should be taken in first aid treat- ment of these accidents. It has been claimed by some wood workers that splinters from oak are more likely to cause infection than splint- ers from other woods. The Provincial Department of Health is making an investigation at the present time on this subject. The system of merit rating has been under discussion this year. For several years the Workmen’s Compensation Board has had a system in effect whereby employers with a good experience for one year received a refund, and those with a bad experience paid an ad- ditional charge. The Board has lately decided to place the merit rating on a three-year basis instead of a one-year ‘basis, which will be more equitable. It has been suggested to the Board that the per- centage for merit or demerit rating should be higher than it is, but no change has been made in this regard so far. It should tbe borne in mind in this connection that the principle of insurance covers the average of the whole class. An accident involving compensation to the extent of $10,000 might happen to some small employer, who would {be in financial trouble if he had to pay a large part of this loss. The object of merit rating is to encourage the man who takes care to avoid accidents without departing too far from the basic prin- ciple of insurance. Midsummer Outing Down St. Lawrence _ At a recent meeting of the newly-elected directors of the Ont- ario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association it was decided to hold the usual midsummer outing and the secretary was instructed to enquire into the possibilities of a trip by steamer on Lake Ontario and through the Thousand Islands. A report will be presented on this matter at the spring meeting of the directors. - _ One of the newly elected directors of the Association is W. E: S. Savage, of Mimico. He has long manifested much concern in the work of the organization and is a live wire in the retail ranks. For many years he was engaged with George Rathbone, Limited, of Tor- onto, and starting in Jbusiness a few years ago on his own behalf in Mimico, he has done remarkably well. _ The entertainment feature in connection with the recent gather- ing of the Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association at Windsor, was furnished by the members of the South West Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association and they left nothing undone. Special committees had charge of the work on hand and every arrangement was well looked after. S, Herath, of Ojibway, was the chairman of the Entertainment Committee, and was ably assisted by E. ‘C.

Clarke, Glencoe, secretary- treasurer, and many others, i Montreal Lumber Retailers Elect Officers The Montreal Retail Lumbermen’s Association elected their of- ficers at a meeting held on February 8th at the Queen’s Hotel. In the absence of J. P. Dupuis, who was out of the city, W. H. Thom- son presided. S In order that each section of the city should be represented on the directorate, the city was divided into five districts, each repre- sented by a director. The officers are: President, J. P.Dupuis, (J. P. Dupuis, (Limited); Vice-President, Stewart Rutherford, (Redfern Lumber Co.); Directors, District No- 1 (extreme north) J. A. Bon- neau, (Millen & Frere); No. 2 (north) G.

A charter has been granted to the Adanac Lumber & Mfg. Co., Toronto. The new organization is composed of several local citizens, and a meeting for the election of officers will be held in a few days. W. W: Carter, president of the Fesserton Timber Co., Toronto, and Mrs. Carter are spending a few weeks at St. Petersburg, Florida, where they are enjoying the ideal climate of that delightful resort. There W. C. Irvin, of Toronto, and William Laking, of Hamilton, are also having a splendid holiday. Southampton Plywoods, Limited, who some time ago took over the business of Panels Limited, at Southampton, Ont., in the manu- facture of table tops, panels, etc., are doing a good business and re- port the outlook for the coming year is promising. J. Hood is the general-manager of the organization. C, Blakeley, manager of the Montreal office of Cox, Long & Co., Limited, is recovering from a very serious attack of pneumoina, which threatened his life. R. H. Lightburne, of the London office of the company, has arrived in Canada to look after the interests of the firm during Mr. Blakeley’s absence. John B. Reid, of Toronto, who is spending the winter months in St. Petersburg, Florida, says there are about five hundred Cana- dians there and lots of Toronto people, among them being several lumbermen, “We are having” he adds, a great time bowling. The weather is warm and the days delightful. Every place here is crowd- ed and it is difficult for the late arrivals to get rooms but all seem happy. We have about four hundred members in the Canadian Club here.” Among the recent callers on the trade in Toronto was Mr, At- wood, of the Atwood Lumber Co., Grand Rapids, Mich., Mr. Forest, of the Lesh-Matthews Lumber Co., Chicago, Mr. French, of the William Weston Lumber Co., Boston, and Mr. J.

The Pacific Coast lumber mills are flooded with orders fon overseas points, and a brisk season is looked forward to, says an Ed- monton lumberman. Conditions are not so good with the mills in the interior of the province, and although the majority are logging, the manufacturers do not anticipate any great demand from the prairies, until such time as good crops wipe out some of the present financial difficulties. .At the present time the interior mills are fos- tering the markets in the east and Ontario, and the bulk of the lum- ber will go to those areas. The production of the Canadian Western Lumber Company of © Fraser Mills, B. C-, in December totalled 3,513,487 feet of lumber, as compared with 4,876,102 feet for .December, 1921. Lumber sold amounted to 8,018,898 feet, as compared with 4,596,401, and price realized at $178,925, compared with $118,053. For the twelve months of 1922 lumber manufactured aggregated 110,418,820 feet, as com- pared with 89,927,331 feet for 1921, and lumber sold 116,869,587, as against 85,679,969 feet. Aggregate price realized amounted to $2,- 803,943, as against $2,237,935. The Quebec Streams Commission has received tenders for cer- tain damming work at Kenogami which, it is estimated, will cost one million and a half dollars. A deposit of $150,000 is required with © each tender. The work, which is to be completed in the fall of 1924, comprises the construction of two large dams on Sable and Chicoutimi rivers, and small damming work on nearby streams. The object is to guarantee a sufficient level of water through huge reservoirs to allow Price Bros. and the Chicoutimi Pulp Mills to operate during the whole year, instead of laying off a large number of employes at this time of the year, as customary. The creditors of Riordon Company, Ltd., Montreal, are in receipt of a circular letter from the creditors’ committee, signed by R. Montague Davy, chairman, which reads in part:—“As you will recollect, the general meeting of creditors held on November 16th, — 1922, requested your committee to continue to serve, and to fill any vacancies which then existed or which might occur. At a meeting of the committee held later in the day the two vacancies caused by the resignations of Messrs. W. S. Sample and Chas, E. Fraser were accordingly filled by the election of A. E. G. Madley, of Montreal, and A. L. Perkins, of Powassan, Ont. ‘The personnel of the com- mittee otherwise remains as before.” The annual meeting of the Provincial Paper Mills Co. was held at the head office in Toronto recently and a satisfactory report of the past year’s operations was presented. I. H. Weldon was re- elected president, IT. A. Weldon vice-president and S. F. Duncan secretary-treasurer. ‘The company is the largest producer of book papers in Canada and has mills in Port Arthur, Thorold, Mille Roches and Georgetown. During 1922 the plants were kept busy although production was principally on the lower grades of paper. — The profits were slightly in excess of 1921, the figures being $729,- — 261 in 1922 and $728,775 in 1921. Interest and dividends received were $34,700, making the total returns for the year, $763,961 as com- pared with the 1921 gross of $761,395. It is reported at Port Arthur that negotiations are under way between representatives of the Great Lakes Paper Company and the — owners of the Long Lake and Nagagami concession which are located east of Lake Nipigon, and that the proposal is to merge these with the Black Sturgeon and Pic limits already owned by the Great Lakes Company who would proceed with the whole develop- ment as one scheme. The Long Lake and Nagagami concessions were sold by the Government during the depression of 1921 and brought low prices, considering their timber value. The greater part of the timber is naturally tributary to Lake Nipigon, although no condition was attached making it obligatory on the part of the — successful tenderer to use Hydro power, which is available through the Cameron Falls development on either of the concessions. Every employee should realize that the danger of fire is always the mills should burn it would mean a personal loss to him by rea- son of interference ‘with his regular employment. He should, there- fore, feel a personal responsibility for the safety of the plants. New Name of Widely Known Lumber Firm Successors to Terry & Gordon, Limited, are Terry-Nicholson- Cates, Limited—Personnel of Organization. An announcement of much in- terest and importance to the forest products industry is that the successors of the well-known wholesale firm of Terry & Gor- don, Limited, are Terry-Niehol- son-Gates, Limited, with offices at 703 and 704 Confederation Life Building, Toronto, which were the headquarters of the old firm. Other than in the change of name, the personnel of the new organization does not need any extended reference in the “Can- ada Lumberman,” H, J. Terry, who is president of the new company, was also at the head of the former or- ganization. He is well and worthily known, having been for over twenty years before the 4 Wik trade. He is one of the founders HY Je Terry, Toronto of the Wholesale Lumber Deal- : ers’ Association, Inc., and during the past year was its presiding officer. He has always shown deep Ch in Association work. Mr. Terry is a director of the Rotary Pepa nang Pg +E i Ta ap leat \ Club of Toronto and is also active in its social welfare campaigns. -and other humanitarian movements. _ has resided in the city all his life. A. S. Nicholson, who is managing director, retains the same _ position as he held in the old firm since its incorporation. He is _ intimately known to the retail trade in Ontario through his connec- tion with the Nicholson Lumber Co., Limited, of Burlington, and just recently disposed of his interests in that concern. Mr. Nicholson was one of the original directors of the Ontario Retail Lumber Deal- _ ers’ Association and was active in the formation of the association. Practically his whole business life has been devoted to the lumber industry. He has had considerable experience in British Columbia, having been associated with a manufacturing concern in the Moun- _ tains as early as 1902. 4 | A. E. Cates, secretary-tzeasurer of the new company, has spent Born in Toronto, Mr. Terry all his life in the lumber arena, his first position being as a messen- ger boy in the Toronto office of the Robert Thomson Co., of Hamil- ton. He later became associated with the Ontario Lumber Co. and eventually secretary-treasurer of that body. A few years ago he Was appointed to a similar position with Terry & Gordon, Limited. When not engaged in business Mr. Cates is an enthusiastic bowler and motorist. J. E. Green, Quebec representative of Terry & Gordon, Limited, retains the same position with the new company, and his head- quarters will continue to be in Montreal. A. E. Richards, who covers the ground East of Toronto, is a hustling young man who has been with the organization for a con- siderable period. ; R. A. Watt, who represents the firm in Western Ontario and _the Niagara Peninsula, has been associated with it for many years and is an aggressive salesman. W. M. Gilbert is in charge of the accounting department and is thoroughly conversant with all matters in connection with that branch. : Many friends in the lumber industry will join in sincere wishes that the newly-organized firm of Terry-Nicholson-Gates, Limited, May enjoy a large measure of success and expansion. Eastern Cut Curtailed By Deep Snow Lumibering operations in the province of New Brunswick as well as that of Nova Scotia, especially along the coast was badly crippled as a result of exceptionally heavy snow storms. As a result it is feared that the cut will not be much more than fifty per cent of the quantity planned. ‘The curtailment resulted in many crews being withdrawn from the woods and operations halted until conditions are more favorable. Some operators are pessimistic and say that there is little prospects of a betterment because of the that there was so little frost in the ground prior to the heavy w falls. In the northern part of the province of New Brunswick prohibiting the export of manufactured wood from Canada. CANADA LUMBERMAN 43 reports indicate that conditions are quite opposite. It is said that in some places there has not been sufficient snow to facilitate opera- tions, but that the cut will be as large as planned. Leading lumbermen announce that in the southern parts of New Brunswick there is no denying that the cut will not be more than fifty per cent of that decided on. They expressed an opinion that Albert county was hit hard and from all indications only twenty-five per cent of the orfginal planned cut would be brought out of the woods. Other merchants contend that they do not think conditions will be as serious as first reports might indicate. They said many feared an over production, but, at least, there is now fear of that and there should be a sufficient supply for the demand. Along the Miramichi there is lots of snow but not within fifty per cent of the amount that fell along the coast, according to late reports. From Campbellton comes a report that there is sufficient snow to carry on, but by no means enough to retard operations. Advices from Kings and Queens counties are to the effect that the snow is too deep for operations and activities in many localities entirely ceased for a while. Some operators in these districts say they fear they will not be able to get a stick out this year largely due to the condition of the ground and the absence of frost. Commenting editorially on the situation the Evening Times of St. John N.B. says: “The depth of snow would seem to be a guaran- tee that the cutting of lumber will not be overdone this winter. It should also ensure good log-driving in the spring—if it does no worse.” Sudden Death of Harry Turnbull Lumbermen - throughout Western Ontario heard with deep regret of the death of Harry Turnbull, of Sarnia, which occurred in the General Hospital, at Chatham, recently, following an acute at- tack of Bright’s disease and peritonitis. Mr. Turnbull had attended the Ontario Convention in Windsor, and was returning home, get- ting as far as Chatham, when the attack caught him. He was hurried to the hospital, where every medical aid was given him, but without avail. Harry had a wide circle of friends, who will miss his ever cheerful presence, while many customers will miss a shrewd ‘business mian, and one well versed in the forest products business. His early education in the lumber line was received in Huntsville, when he was a lad. He was also a partner of the LeBel- Turnbull Lumber Co., of Sarnia, which later was destroyed by fire. He was manager of the Spanish River Lumber Co. for-years, and of late years he represented several companies, selling on a commission. He was one of the largest stockholders in the Wal- laceburg Lumber Co., and was one of its directors. He was also interested in the Geo. H. Kernohan Lumber Co., of London. Mr. Turnbull is survived by a widow and two sons, who, to- gether with a host of friends, mourn his early death. The funeral which took place from his late residance, Brock St. N. Sarnia, was attended by many representatives from lumber firms all over On- tario. Numerous lovely wreaths bore silent testimony to the place he held in the hearts of his friends. Prizes in Aid of Forest Conservation * Frank J. D. Barnjum, of Annapolis Royal, N.S., and Montreal, who recently awarded $5,000 in prizes for the best treatise on the most practical methods of preserving Canadian timber from further destruction by the budworm and other insect pests which have recently caused such great losses to our forests, is now offering $2,000.00 in prizes for the most convincing argument in favor of One thousand dollars of this will be paid for the best argument in the English language and $1,000.00 for the best in French, in the fol- lowing manner:—Five hundred dollars to the winner of the first prize in each language; $250.00 to the second; $150.00 to the third, and $100.00 to the fourth. The competition is open to all residents of Canada. The essays must not exceed 600 words in length. The competition will close on March 15th and no entry will be eligible bearing postmark later than that date. Entries should be addressed to Frank J. D. Barnjum, New Birks Bldg., Montreal, Que. Mr. Barnjum is a strong advocate of the policy of retaining Canada’s timber supply in the country for the protection of Cana- dian industries and for the benefit of our own people and one of his purposes of instituting this competition is to start more people thinking and also obtaining Government action on what he regards as Canada’s most vital problem, namely forest conservation. At the annual meeting of the British Columbia Lumbermen’s Association held recently in Vancouver, Mr. J. D. McCormick, man- ager of the Canadian. Western Lumber Company, was. elected president. Be CANADA LUMBERMAN New Director of Ontario Association Martin J. McDonald is one of the newly-elected directors for the Northern District of the On- tario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association. He is manager of the Thunder Bay Lumber Co., Limited, Port Arthur, and takes a deep interest in Association work. Mr. McDonald is a strong acquisition to the Executive of the O.R.E.D.A5) jand, has) had considerable experience in the lumber line. He came originally from Appleton, Wis., where he was connected with the Miller Co. In 1909 he entered into partnership with A, D. Kennedy and opened up a retail lumber and fuel yard in Port Arthur which was known as the Thun- der Bay Lumber & Fuel Co. Some years later he returned to Appleton, still retaining his in- terest in the Port Arthur con- cern, and together with his brother, D. J. McDonald, of the Mc- Donald Lumber Co., of Winnipeg, took over the Miller Lumber Co., when they first became acquainted with the lumber business. Last year the subject of this reference disposed of his interests in the Appleton yard and returned to Port Arthur, taking over the entire business of the yard there under the name of the Thunder Bay Lum- ber, Co. He also opened a new branch at Fort William, the latter venture meeting with considerable success. M. J. McDonald, Port Arthur, Ont. ” Noted Lumberman Sounds Warning Note | One of the most serious problems facing lumbermen, from time to time, is the very great fluctuation in the lumber market. This very materially affects the construction industry, and is a subject that should be considered very seriously in all of its phases by lum- bermen, says John E. Lloyd, president of the National Retail Lum- ber Dealers Association, Chicago, Stabilization of the construction industries is a matter that is being considered in the building trades at the present time, to the end that those engaged in it may be employed continuously. Lum- bermen can aid materially to achieve this much to be desired result by working together in an effort to see that lumber production con- tinues on an even basis throughout the year. Any effort along these lines, however, in the construction in- dustry will be useless unless labor 1s willing to do its part to pre- vent the wages paid reaching a point where construction of neces- sity slows down on account of the increased cost. ; To-day, I believe, we are in a position where the tendency to ‘materially increase prices of material entering into construction, as well as the very rapid increase of wages is going to have the effect of sooner or later curtailing, not only the construction industries but general business. While the reaction will certainly not be as serious as it was in 1920, the fact remains if prices continue to ad- vance we cannot look for anything but a sudden reaction sometime during the present year. This is to be avoided if at all possible, but can only be accomplished through active co-operation of every- one, having in mind a sincere effort to stabilize conditions, not only in the cost of raw materials, but also in the wages paid in the building industry. How “Buddie” Got His Sled and Mitts A pleasing yet touching incident was referred to the other even- ing at the regular monthly meeting of the Wholesale Lumber Deal- ers’ Association, Inc., at the Albany Club, Toronto. The human in- terest event revealed how widely the name of a firm is broadcasted through advertising and demonstrates the faith and vision of a child living over a thousand miles distant. The other morning Frank Kent, president of the Seaman, Kent Co., Toronto, while opening his mail, pulled out a piece of brown paper, covered completely in a bold, juvenile hand. His attention was at once arrested to the characteristic note which came from a girl away down in Cape Breton. He was impressed by its candor and trustful spirit and promptly sent the child a remittance in order to buy her little brother a pair of warm mitts and a coasting sled. The letter from Gracie McLean, West Bay, Cape Breton, under date of January 17th, reads :— dear Seaman Kent Company I saw lots of talk about your pretty hardwood flooring the paper said you were the biggest firm of hardwood flooring in the world. I thing you must be an awful rich firm I just thought I would send you my pin cushion I made it I thought som gentleman would take it from me and would give me little money for I .want to get my little brother a coasting sled and a pair of warm mittens but I can’t get him this altho he wants them bad. I am too poor to get this for him my parents are both dead. Altho I made this cushion there is no nice gentleman here in the country but old fashion fishermen they don’t care to have a cushion to hold their tie pins pleasé excuse me for bothering you dear Seaman Kent Co. I was thinking because your firm was so big. that some gentleman would like my cushion. With best wishes, ae? a Gracie McLean. he A .post office order for $5.00 was sent by the Seaman, Kent Co. who asked young Miss McLean for a photograph of herself and her brother. The letter also complimented Gracie upon her nice handi-— work and industry as revealed in the pincushion, and added that the people in Ontario had to work just as hard as the fisherfolk in Cape Breton. The firm enquired if Gracie had any other brothers and sisters and invited her to write again in the near future, telling more about those near and dear to her. i Gracie’s reply was as follows :— : Feb. 10, 1923. ig dear Mr. F. Kent Co. I got your letter some time ago wth the 5 dollars which I was awful glad to get 1 should have answered your letter to thank you so much for all that money but the road here | in the country was very bad with snow banks that the mail driver could not go with the mail for a week. dear Mr. Kent I am so sorry that I have no photo of myself or little ; brother. We never did because there is no photographer here in the country we would have to go on a train to have : them taken. we will try to go somewhere to have ones taken next summer and send to you its so hard to go any- where with the snow now. With many many thanks for the money and the best of wishes to you. ee 5," : i Gracie McLean, West Bay, C.B. Live Wire in the Central District J. H. Rodgers, of the Ball Plan- ing Mill Co., Limited, Barrie, Ont., was recently chosen as a director of the Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association for the Central District. A live wire in the business he takes much interest in the progress of any movement with which he is as- sociated. Mr. Rogers is secre- tary-treasurer of the Ball Planing Mill Co., which position he has occupied for the last three years. | This organization is one of the oldest in Ontario, having been established between sixty and seventy years. The founder, George Ball, is still living al- though ninety years old. Twenty-five years ago the in- dustry was taken over by J. D. oleae father of the subject of this reference, and William Gal- : ley, and the company was _ in- J. H. Rodgers eat aaa : corporated in 1910. J. H. Rodgers attended the public school and collegiate institute in Barrie and during that time was naturally more or less interested in his father’s business. Seven years ago he came to Toronto and was employed by the R. Laidlaw Lumber Company, first in their West Toronto yard and later in their Spadina yard office. Late in the fall of 1916 he enlisted for overseas service and spent eleven months in France with the P.P.C.L.I. and was later with the 3rd Canadian Machine Gun Battalion. He was severely shell-shocked in September 1918 and was invalided home. During his convalescence he took a course in vocational training at the University and also special studies in plan-reading and estimating which have proved most valuable in connection with his work at the Ball Planing Mill Co., Barrie, bs OE ALS Lae ee ee YN A es ee yc a ne neta a CANADA LUMBERMAN Youll Never Make a Lumberman Smithie —Bushwhacking in Australia— By A. de H. Smith, Edmonton, Alta. At one period of a somewhat variegated career I found myself stranded in an agricultural community on the north coast of New South Wales, Australia, where dairy farming was suitably blended with lumbering, and where an enter- prising young chap might draw a weekly stipend equivalent to $2.50, provided he could milk cows, swing a lusty axe, and drive fourteen span of bullocks. Being embarrassed financially I hired out as a combination lumberjack-dairy- man to a local timber magnate and proceeded to work for a living. This latter consisted in rising at 3.30 a.m., chasing -sundry cows over the rocks and through the bush to the yards, where, until about 8.30 a.m. dairying was in vogue, then to the house for breakfast, following which the day’s work commenced. ; Each settler possessed a little clearing in the bush where the accursed cows fed, such time as they were not being milked; the surrounding area consisted of a tropical growth of timber which had of necessity to be felled to give agricul- ture elbow room, and after breakfast and until 4.30 p.m. when it was once more time to attend to the bovines, axe and cross cut saw rang. ‘Thick Nature of Timber Growth The big sticks consisted entirely of several varieties of the Australian gum—so hard that the axe would bounce out of the cut; the trees would on an average measure from six to ten feet in diameter, while they ran to a height which the B.C. coastal timber does not excel. But there were other things in the Australian bush besides the gum trees. Between them flourished a minor growth of palms, next came various shrubs and bushes, followed by creepers, vines, and “lawer plants,” the latter being aptly named be- cause of the hook like thorns with which they were armed and in which enmeshed it was almost impossible to obtain relief without assistance. So thick was the growth that even the wild cattle could not force a passage through the mass, and with the ther- mometer registering as high as 120 degrees in the shade, the heat in that airless jungle can be imagined. Not once but me did I sign for the clean, sweet spruce bush of the north: Other things there were also; snakes of every con- ceivable shape, size and color, centipedes, stinging spiders, bellicose “soldier” ants nearly an inch long, which would promptly make for any noise and attack the source of it, while, from the foliage overhead, dropped a procession of black leeches which filtered into ones clothes and were discovered at night fat and bloated but still firmly attached to their “meal ticket.” Act one revealed the dairyman- lumberjack and his assistant, clad in nothing but duck pants, a gauze undershirt, boots and felt hat engaged in rounding up the patient oxen (or bullocks as they are known in Australia). We had fourteen head on this par- ticular farm, and every ox knew to a beautiful exactitude his place. When ordered to hitch up they took up their posi- tions and presently the yokes were fitted, a chain running from the leader through each yoke and so to the wagon, where the “wheelers” held up the massive tongue. Armed With Great Long Whip The animals were driven by a man on horseback, who armed with a whip carrying an eight foot stock and _ six- teen foot lash, rode up and down the line of toiling beasts, drawing blood at every cut, did he desire to do so. Down and up through thé roughest of rough trails the lumber wagon creaked, and it was miraculous that none of the oxen suffered cracked necks when rounding sudden curves in the road or turning trees. They were trained to per- fection, however, and each section in rounding an obstruc- tion kept off the point instead of turning sharply so that by the time the “wheelers” reached the corner there was clearance for them. By aid of the aforementioned whip a knowing pony, who needed but knee pressure to guide him, and a flow of “language” which might well fill any Canadian head faller with envy, the fourteen head of clumsy but clever beasts wound in and out through the woods. When the driver with a sudden burst of wrath roared “Tiger, One Eye, Snowy, Sailor” those singled out for notice immediately arched their backs and put out every ounce of energy in them to avoid the dreaded whip. By some mysterious in- telligence, usually not credited to the bovine kind, the Aus- tralian ox, at least, knows his name, and “Tiger” lazing along with the whites of his eyes showing, when addressed answered and answered promptly. Investigating All Parts of the Log Arrived at the chosen location the oxen were un- hitched and allowed to wander around, while the tree pick- ed was investigated. First any dead and hollow logs in the vicinity were hammered with the flat of the axe to deter- mine whethere they contained any death adders or not. Much noise was indulged in with the idea of giving sundry snakes due and sufficient warning. The small growth around the tree was carefully cleared as a bright look out was kept for “soldier” ants, scorpions and other etceteras. Then the lumberjacks would peel their shirts and pants to the ankles and rid one another of such leeches as were indulging in breakfast, while ticks engaged in getting their heads under the skin were treated to a dose of kerosene, carried in-a bottle for the purpose, and the boss then said “Guess we'd better get to work; can’t stand around here all day amusin’ ourselves.” In falling the “driving system” was used. This con- sisted of selecting a large tree and aiming it at a number of lesser ones which stood in the path of its descent. The larger specimen from which the mill logs were taken thus helped to clear the bush for farming, this being the favorite method used by the Australian settlers in the district men- tioned. Once sawn into lengths—a ticklish proceeding when, it is remembered, that the sawyers back was to the nearby infested bush—one log at a time was snaked out to the road by the united force of the bulls plus a steel cable, loaded on the wagon with skids, and so away to the mill. Net Results of the Day’s Work Though we worked hard, and consumed on an average I should imagine about ten gallons of water per hour, one, twenty or twenty-four foot log represented the day’s work, as it was necessary to return to the farm in time to “git them cows in,” and the mill was a considerable distance from the logging site. Arrived at the farm, the oxen were turned loose to look after themselves, the workers partook of one of the numerous meals, for as Kipling says the “native born is a five meal, meat fed man’’—and they need it! There followed some further recreation in the shape of each man milking between 25 and 30 cows, and so home to bed. The Sabbath was strictly a day of rest. With the exception of about eight hours milking, nothing was done, so the hirelings usually spent the leisure time in cleaning their milk and perspiration caked clothing. There was lit- tle or no water, however—certainly none for washing clothes. The procedure, therefore, was to take the garments to a nearby gully which contained more or less liquid mud in which the clothing was stamped with the feet. Later the mud was allowed to dry and pounded off on the rocks. I remained at my employment as a dairyman-lumber- jack until such time as J had the exact minimum steamer fare to carry me to other fields of endeavor, my erstwhile boss’ good natured parting salutation being “You'll never make a bushman, Smithie, the best thing you can do is to part your hair in the middle and get yourself a job in a Oimcer wel did: 46 Quebec Retailers Want New Lien Law At a meeting of the Montreal Retail Lumbermen’s Association held on February 21st at the Queen’s Hotel, J. F- Dupuis presiding, the question of the Quebec Lien Law was discussed. The members are of the opinion that the law does not sufficiently protect their in- terests, that it exposes them to risks which are unfair in the way of supplying materials, and that steps should be taken by the Associa- tion to obtain amendments which will give fuller protection. The members also discussed the relations between wholesalers and retailers, especially in connection with sales to consumers by wholesalers. The discussion arose out of a letter from the Montreal Wholesalers’ Association on the subject of proposals which are being considered by the wholesale and retail Associations. This letter was referred to a committee. It may be mentioned that the speakers re- ferred with satisfaction to the fact that both Associations are getting together in order to settle questions in a way ‘which it was hoped would be mutually satisfactory. J. A. Laferte, J. P. Dupuis and R. Prefontaine have been elected members of the Mines and Forests Committee of the Montreal Cham- bre de Commerce. Montreal Retailers Hear Something on Insurance Mr. Dupuis stated that he had received a letter from E. D. Hardy & Co., insurance brokers, Ottawa. The following is an ex- tract from Mr. Hardy’s letter:—In the last issue of the “Canada Lumberman” I was interested in noting your remarks on the ad- vantages of an Association for the retail lumbermen of Montreal. As insurance is one of the first questions that may come up for con- sideration after your Association is organized, | thought you might be interested in a brief review of the present situation. Owing to the depreciation in the values since the war and the general business depression, the insurance companies have found themselves faced with a diminishing premium income and an increasingly high loss ratio. While the experience on retail lumber yards would probably show more satisfactory results, the following figures furnished by the licensed companies to the Dominion Insurance Department show that the results on the larger manufacturing plants have not been altogether satisfactory. Class Premium Losses Ratio Woodworking factories 837,344 420,142 50.18 Sawmills 1,108,869 629,641 56.78 Lumber yards 1,946,036 1,899,788 97.62 With the exception of the inter-insurance organizations, licensed by the Federal Government, specializing on insurance on lumber plants, these figures reflect only the experience of the stock com- panies holding Dominjon licenses. It is not fair to assume therefore that the experience of all the companies specializing in this class of insurance has shown correspondingly unsatisfactory results. As a matter of fact, we know that the experience of our own Canadian Exchange and the Lumber Mutuals has shown good results. The explanation of this lies in the fact that the lumber specializing com- panies are writing the cream of the business and are devoting more attention to inspection and fire prevention than the stock companies. Furthermore the close personal contact between the representatives of these companies and the assured is such as to secure the highest degree of co-operation. Another fact which contributes to the success of the Mutuals and Reciprocals is the fact that the cost of management is only about one half of the cost of the acquisition of the business by the stock, which in the case of British Companies, had risen in 1921 to 41.60%. This means that for every dollar paid in premium, 41.6 is used in agents’ commissions and home office expenses. In order to over- come the objection to unlicensed insurance we are considering an arrangement with the Lumber Mutuals under which we would issue the policy of the Canadian Lumbermen’s Insurance Exchange and use the policies of the Lumber Mutuals only as re-insurance, allow- ing the assured practically the same results which thes could obtain if the insurance were placed in a mutual company. Under this pian the policy holders would receive a dividend each year and at the same tme would be laying the foundation for a larger organization than the present Canadian Exchange, which has already justified the wisdom of the lumbermen who were responsible for its inception, The retail lumbermen of Ontario have already signified their interest in the subject and we are hoping that, at their next meeting, they will decide to take some further action in recognition of the service, protection and saving offered by the lumber specializing companies. If you feel that a similar opportunity to meet the mem- bers of your association would result to a mutual advantage we would be glad to speak to them on insurance at some future date. t CANADA LUMBERMAN Widely Known Lumberman and Legislator Robert B. Smith, M.L.A., for Sunbury, N. B., is widely known in the lumber arena. He is manager of the Valley Lumber Co., presi- dent of the St. John River Dredging Co., a director of the Smith Foundry Co. and the St. John Farm & Fruit Co. Mr. Smith was born at Blissville, N. B., his parent being from the old colonies. Previous to entering upon his career in the New R. B. Smith, M.L.A. Oromocto, N.B. Brunswick Legislature, he was a member of the Sunbury County Common Council for several years. Fraternally Mr. Smith is a member of the Masonic Order and also of the Orange order, which is eminently appropriate seeing that he was born on the 12th of July. In religion he is a Baptist and in politics a Liberal. —— Modern Idea of Competition The old conception of competition was based on the be- lief that for every article sold is a fixed demand and that the more persons there are supplying that demand the less busi- ness there will be for each of them. The modern conception of competition is that only the amount of money available for the purchase of all manner of things is fixed and that the prosperity of any industry de- pends on its success in diverting from other industries to itself the lion’s share of the fixed amount of money that the buying public has to spend. Under the old conception of competition dealers in the same line of business believed that they had to fight one another. Under the new conception we know that the com- petition to be feared is not that of other individuals in the same line of business as ourselves, but the competition of other industries. The buying public has just so much money to spend each year, sometimes more sometimes less; but even in periods of business depression the total available is enor- mous. The prosperity of the individual members of any in- dustry depends not on how much business they can pull away from one another, but on how much of this big sum spent by the purchasing public they can attract to their owi Easterners Much Interested in Forestry Work The dire necessity for forest conservation and fire prevention in the Province of New Brunswick was set forth in no uncertain degree recently in different parts of the province by a visit of the private exhibition car of the Canadian Forestry Association. The car was placed in a convenient place and thousands of people visited it. The data on hand as well as the instructive talks on the subjests, given by Gerald Blythe, were of keen interest and should go a long way in educating the public along the lines desired. Perhaps one of the most important phases in the work undertaken by this Associa- tion is the talks illustrated by motion pictures, given to school children. Montreal Lumbermen Discuss Trade Relations The relations between wholesalers and retailers was the chief subject discussed at a meeting of the Montreal Wholesale Lumber _ Dealers’ Association on February 15th at the Mount Royal Hotel. J. S. Bock presided and reported the result of a conference held earlier in the day between committees of the wholesale and retail associations. outside the city, made certain proposals which, in their view, would eliminate what they consider the encroachment of the wholesalers on the retail trade. The practicability of these proposals was dis- cussed from many angles, the wholesalers offering, subject to rati- fication by the members, another proposal. It was ultimately de- cided that the views of the retailers should ‘be submitted to the meet- ing of the wholesalers to be held in the evening. Mr. Bock outlined the proposals, and, after a full discussion, it was agreed that the retailers be requested to supply information which was deemed essential before any decision could be made. It was decided to take steps to increase the membership. ‘This now comprises a large percentage of the wholesalers, but it is desired to build up a still stronger organization. A resolution in favor of the manufacturers absorbing the sales tax of 3% was passed, and it was agreed to ask the support of the Canadian Lumbermen’s Association and the Toronto Wholesalers’ Association in obtaining an amendment of the law to this effect. —h “i a) tae 2 ee ee Successful Builders’ Convention in Quebec : The Association of Canadian Building and Construction Indus- tries held their annual convention recently for a full week in the Chateau Frontenac, Quebec. present from all the central sections of Canada from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and the meetings were presided over by National President, J. B. Carswell, of Toronto. The delegates in attendance were all practical men of business and expert mathematical archi- tects in their various lines of the building industry. ; The building contractor, _ the papers read on all matters in connection with the trade were . replete with valuable technical information. Costs, seasonal con- struction and labor, as well as the scarcity of apprentices were sub- _ jects given the greatest attention. The discussions were remarkable for their lucid and concrete exposition of the situation and the prob- _ lems, superinduced by the aftermath of the great war. which would have to be overcome. Building and with it lumber entered into the discussion, as well as other materials used in structural undertakings. . Besides the talks, delivered by the delegates, J. A. Schrybert, however, was in the majority, and from the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, and Wm. R. Mattson, of the Babson Statistical Agency, Boston, Mass., delivered addresses, the former on the Industrial Census schedule and the latter with the _ aid of three charts reviewed the conditions of the world after the _ Napoleonic wars, the American revolution and the Americal Civil ; War, as well as the aftermath of the recent World War. He illus- trated the past with the present to account for the world’s disturb- ance and the time taken to get back to normal, and then confined _ his mathematical illustrations to the aftermath of the late world _ strife, dealing at some length with the trend of modern prices. He pointed out that prices had increased by fifty per cent over those of 1921, and that materials had shown a decided increase in the last six months of 1922. He predicted that values would keep climbing up to affect the building trade but there would be an improvement in this respect during the last six months of 1923. He cautioned the builders to be careful in the study of costs and the need of watch- ing fluctuations in prices by changes in conditions, the shortage of taw material, production, etc. He sounded a warning against speculation and said the changing conditions would bring forth a new type of man, a technical man with new methods who would be essential to protect the building trade, to watch the prices of com- modities and keep down costs, and to secure profits and this would be necessary for the next five years. Discussing the question of the shortage of skilled labor, Mr. Schrybert referred to the small volume of immigration, both in the United States and Canada, due to Government restrictions, and gave for example that in 1913 506,000 skilled mechanics were landed in the United States in contrast with 1921, when only 21,000 skilled workmen emigrated from European countries due to the 3 per cent American Immigration law. As a consequence when the building boom commenced in 1920 it was found that there was a shortage of skilled mechanics in the building trade, which also affected Canada with greater effect, because Canadian bricklayers and plasterers were attracted by higher wages into the United States, and also became absorbed in the automobile building line. Mr. Schrybert, in con- cluding predicted that the building ‘trade would be twenty-five per cent better in 1923 that it was in 1922. At the close of the convention the most important resolution CANADA LUMBERMAN The retailers, who propose to extend their activities ; oD There were one hundred delegates _ 47 adopted was in advocacy of seasonal employment, apprenticeship and immigration. It was agreed that time would not permit the study necessary to work out a programme for obtaining the results desired, and, therefore, it was decided that the executive establish a Study Committee to consider the vital importance to the country of the shortage of building mechanics; and that the Dominion Gov- ernment should be approached and encouraged for the purpose of holding a conference of all interests directly concerned; and that seasonal employment, bound up with the same question, should be dealt with at the same time; and that in addition to these questions we must have added immigration. If Canada is to expand and develop, it must throw open its gates to immigration. The officers elected for the ensuing year were as follows:— President, Joseph M. Pigott, Hamilton; Past President, J. B. Cars- well, Toronto ; First Vice- President, James Mackie, Winnipeg ; Second Vice- President. John V. Gray, Toronto; Hon. Secretary, John Grieve, Montreal; Hon. Treasurer, Fred McFarren, Toronto. Representative from General Contractors’ Section, S. E. Dinsmore, Windsor; Representative from Trade Contractors’ Section, R. Fitz- simmons, Hamilton; Representative from Manufacturers’ and Sup- ply Section, H. J. Mero, Walkerville. It was unanimously decided to hold the next annual conven- tion at Windsor. The convention was featured by a lunch party every one of the four days. The Mayor of Quebec and A. J. Welch, president of the Quebec Board of ace welcomed the delegates on the first day’s luncheon. Hon. L. A. Taschereau, Premier of Quebec, and Hon. Mr.: David, Peover Secretary, addressed the visitors at the second and third day’s noon-day gatherings around the festive board.

There will be no change in the personnel or in the relationships of Mr. Letherby and Mr. Chew. The firm’s cut during the coming season will be approximately 50% more than in 1922. Mr. Letherby states that the prospects are that they will conduct bush operations to a sufficient extent in fut- ure to produce logs enough to stock fully their mill which is of mod- ern construction and of ample capacity to take care of the pro- duction required from time to time. Will Operate in the Abitibi District M. A, Grandbois, Enrg., St Casimir, Que., have sold the St. Casimir plant to the Laurentide Co, Limited, and they have bought limits and mills at Barraute, Abitibi, where they will resume opera- tions early this spring. The company did not operate their mills last year as they wished to dispose of and ship over 4,000,000 feet from the 1921 cut which remained in stock. They succeeded in doing this and expect to turn out something like 2,000,000 feet of spruce and cypress this year along with 2,000,000 feet of lath and several thou- sand railway ties. a ae 48 of CANADA LUMBERMAN Giada Jumberman founded 1880 The National Lumber Journal for Forty Years Issued on the Ist and 15th of every month by Hugh C.

In spite of warnings and predictions against the peril—not to say disaster—of such a course, there are indications in certain quarters that the grasping spirit is still in evidence, and some interests have not profited by the ex- _ periences of the past. To advance prices unduly and unjustifiably is a suicidal policy. It may have a temporary advantage but, in the long run, it works ruin and spells dismay, not only to the perpetrators themselves but to all interested in the welfare and stabilization of this great pioneer industry. Every speaker, every trade journal and every convention has taken a strong stand against any speculative spirit or fictitious flight in the price of lumber, It has been said that we always have the poor with us, and it might be observed, with equal truth; that ‘we always have the plunger and the gambler. They can only see immediate results and will not gauge the future, caring little what it may bring. They give too literal and selfish an interpretation to the old adage that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, and are seeking to kill the one that lays the golden egg. Just now when the lumber business is emerging from a long period of readjustment and liquidation and is gaining its feet and heading in the right direction towards a sound, firm basis, word comes from many quarters that certain holders of stock are demand- ing unprecedented prices. In some widths and thicknesses where a decided shortage has developed, increased quotations are altogether beyond reasonable bounds. This is a serious problem, particularly as stability in values and equalization of production and demand are being sought in the great forest products industry as never be- fore. Among those who have recently sounded a warning note is John T, Lloyd, president of the U.S. National Retail Lumber Dealers Association. He states that stabilization of the construction indus-. tries is a matter that is being considered in the building -trades at the present juncture to the end that those engaged in it may be em- ployed continuously. He then goes on to emphasize the fact that lumbermen can aid materially to achieve this much-to-be-desired result by working together in an effort to see that lumber continues on an even basis throughout the year: If there is an unjustifiable enhanéement in values there is sure to be a setback to great building activity and the revival of indus- trial operations. Much can be done to avoid such a state of affairs by taking a calm, dispassionate view of the situation as no one wants to see a reaction such as followed the boom of 1920. The results have been felt for many months and the boom terminated in a pro- longed boomerang. This should be avoided if at all possible, and if prices continue to advance, no one can look for anything but a sud- — den reaction some time during 1923. This can and should be avoid- ed. Active co-operation, it is pointed. out, will accomplish much if everyone will seek to do his part, having in mind a sincere effort to ~ stabilize conditions, not only in the cost of raw materials, but also in the wages paid in the building industry. At the recent annual gathering of the Canadian Lumbermen’s Association in Montreal all the speakers were a unit in declaring against a repetition of 1920 conditions and setting forth the menace of runaway values and abnormal sales. A warning signal was hoist- ed by all the leading representatives of the business who emphisized ~ the fact that the aftermath of a period of inflated prices was too © drastic and prolonged. A good, fair profit is all that any upright operator or distributor asks, while every effort should be put forth on the part of those connected with the industry for the exercise of ~ greater economies, more efficient operation and better results in ser- vice and distribution. ‘ : It is interesting to note that Babson, in one of his comprehen- sive reviews of the lumber situation under a recent date, takes a hopeful view of the future, but reading between the lines it will be noted that he foresees dangers not afew if co-operation and sincere effort are not put forth to steady conditions. Babson’s summary is as follows:—Clients who are planning building this spring will do well to let contracts during the next few weeks: It is true that building materials are still high. Nevertheless, a large amount of new work is being planned, and it is doubtful if any better prices can be expected before the latter part of 1923. When the rush be- gins in April and May, prices are likely to be somewhat higher than _ at present. Moreover, contractors will have more work on their | hands and will be less inclined to make terms. Eventually building costs will be very much lower than they are today: Within the next three to five years we should expect to see a reduction of at least 30% under present prices. Building, however, which must be started this spring should be contracted for without delay. Growing Shortage of Skilled Workmen One of the live topics which came up for consideration at the recent convention of the O.R.L.D.A. in Windsor, Ont., was the lack of apprentices in the wood-working industry at the present day. The discussion aroused general interest and many timely and terse observations were made with respect to the trend of youth in this generation. The views of representative woodworking and retail lumber exponents were that the bosses were as much to blame for the ex- istent state of affairs as the boys. Many employers will not encour- age a youth or take a personal interest in his welfare and progress: As long as there is a surplus of skilled adult labor in the trade they say that they cannot be bothered teaching or training lads in their teens. This is a short-sighted policy for, unless more appren- tices come forward with in the next decade there will be no one left in the wood-working arena except old men and the industry is bound to suffer severely, particularly during busy periods. It was pointed out by one speaker that better wages should be paid apprentices and their standard should be raised. There is no dowbt that practical experience in the wood-work- ing plants supplemented by a few hours instructions either by day or night at a Technical School, is an ideal combination which de- velops the ambition and spirit of any worth-while boy. When he feels that others are evincing.some concern in him personally and’ are ready to act on his behalf, he naturally is appreciative and readily responsive. The old problem of training apprentices has been before many trade conventions of late and one of the most effective and cogent utterances relating to it has been broadcasted by the National Lum- ~ ber and Mfg. Co., Hoquiam, Washington. This firm has delved © deeply into the question and presents a comprehensive review and summary of the entire situation in the subjoined open letter. “Attention is being called to the growing shortage of skilled workmen in wood—a shortage of men who can secure the best results possible in turning a piece of rough wood into some useful thing of art and beauty. “The school is the proper place to excite the enthusiasm and awaken the interest of the coming man—to create in his mind the desire to plane, to saw, to fashion, to work in wood. Our present day system of education is faulty. The ignobility, the disgrace of soiled hands and the workmen’s suit, is being more and more instilled in the minds of the boys and girls, not only in the schools, but in the homes where education first starts; and this influence is manifested in the schools. This is as true of the country schools and homes as. of the towns and cities. Work, common labor, is a thing debased, and yet, no real success in life has come without work and ceaseless effort, ; A “The mothers of the nation are naturally ambitious for ‘ their children and in countless homes the “Old Man” is held 1 up as an example of what not to be. Poor dad, plodding, | hard working, seemingly unambitious, frugal, self-effacing and unselfish, his thoughts, his dreams for the ones depen- } dent upon his efforts, his ambitions, his heart-aches, his dis- appointments smothered under a veil of silence and blank expression, a victim of the deadly, daily grind, understood by few, misunderstood by many, he steadily “carries on.” “Mother, with the nesting instinct and the desire for the betterment of her off-spring, has the clearer perspective. With her it is a constant fight to keep up appearances, to keep the home fires burning; while welcoming the weekly pay check as a meal ticket, she has the idea that hard work ‘doesn’t get you much.’ She preaches thus and points out : the more fortunate as model lives to study and to pattern after. She is preaching and breeding divine discontent and this spirit, this feeling of unrest and ambition, has made the country what it is today and will drive it on to greater things. . “Our present method of education is too sugar-coated, | too much like a Mother Hubbard that covers a great deal without touching on-anything in particular—a lack of spe- cialization and thoroughness. “Walk into some of the large cities and talk to the radicals that seek to overthrow our present form of govern- ment—to Russianize our institutions—and you will find that a large percentage of the leaders are high school graduates or have gone farther and passed a year or more in some university or college. They have a smattering of knowl- edge, but are unfitted for any work, through their state of mind and their distaste for concentration and work. { “The people cry out against the influx of the uneducated foreigner; but the reds are not led by “Skis” but by men | with good old American, English, Irish and Swedish names. Dig deeper and you will find that their fathers were the . hard-working men that made our country possible; who toiled and saved to educate their boys and give them ad- vantages that they themselves craved for. “There is more danger to our nation through the class we picture than from the right kind of immigrants who have been taught to labor and to save. The latter have construc- tive ideas, the former destructive, and we need to stress more those studies in our schools that tend to inspire construc- tive thought, concentrated thinking, and definite’ results. And, what is better than working in wood? Educating the eye, the mind, the imagination, and the hand, the mental : picture and its working out; bringing into play all of the best of man. And a man so grounded in fundamentals will | never be a victim of the impossible dreamer. “It is up to the men in the lumber business to arouse interest in this question and to make it possible for the boy to secure the wood that he needs:in his practice and work. “Put the question to yourself and to your men. If a boy came in your yard or factory today inquiring for certain pieces of wood with which to fashion something that was in his mind, would you make it easy for him to secure it; or, would you bark at him and send him away discouraged and , disheartened ? “Thousands of embryo woodworkers have been driven into other fields ‘by the thoughtlessness of lumbermen who | could not be bothered with such trivial sales. So, let us decide to turn over a new leaf and encourage the effort of the boy or person who has a desire to play or work in the cutting up of wood, and to add our voice and influence in | seeing that in every school opportunities will exist to work : in things that will be of value in later life.” Don’t Be Afraid of Your Competitor j } 7 To make a lumber yard as profitable as it should be the money | invested should ‘be kept moving and earning something all the time, and the difference between this and the manner it is usually handled in the average lumber yard is a loss in the profits, and in some cases there is no profit at all if the costs were correctly figured, writes C: isi Ketridge, of Evanston, Ill., in the “Mississippi Valley Lumber- man. q All of this you have had brought to your notice over and over again and still most! of you are going on in the old rut of customary doing. I have reason to know this is so because every “Man-Jack” of a dealer I talk with has the same old complaints to make about the same old troubles in the business. The majority knows better _what to do to remedy these things but somehow they don’t seem to lave the guts to act independently in following a course of action CANADA LUMBERMAN 49 they know is the right thing to do. They all have reasons for not J breaking the continuity of custom, which when boiled down, amounts § to little more than excuses. The principal one they pass-the-buck on | is that of competitors. One dealer is inclined to make a change but | is restrained from doing so through fear that his competitor will con- tinue on in the old way that the public is accustomed to, for the mat- ter of giving credits is a large factor in the game of competition. I have sometimes thought that the paramont difficulty in the business is that of unlbusiness like competition between dealers in the | same town. Generally speaking they -are afraid of each other and jealous of one who displays more ability to get the business. This | feeling is responsible for the unnecessary price cutting that prevails in many towns. Hardly any man will admit that the other fellow is a better business man than he is, and he gives the public a false esti- mate of his business powers when he cuts prices to make a showing to make people think he is a live wire as a trade getter. The gist of all this in most of such cases lies in the ignorance of true business principles and knowledge of how to do business. A good deal has been said about educating the farmers when the fact is there is relatively about as much of this kind of ignorance existing those running the retail yards’ One thing is sure the farmer is more independent in his business ways than is the general run of lumber | dealers. J There has been a tremendous amount of time, money and effort spent in holding conventions to educate the retailers in the right methods of doing business. Over thirty years have been spent on — this line of endeavor. An advance has been made to be sure; prob- ably greater than we realize, but it must be admitted that in many © ways the dealers are still wearing their old clothes. I don’t suppose this particular trowble ever will be removed; but I do believe that — more can, and will be done toward mitigating this trouble with com- — petitors and also of raising the standard of a better knowledge of how to do business, through the medium of the local and district organizations when in the frequent meetings competitors will asso- ciate personally and learn from each other. If rightly directed, these meetings can be made schools of instruction in the vital things affect- ing the carrying on of the business. Moreover, it will engender a better feeling that will naturally co-operate in making desired chan- | ges from the old customs. Of course, this is all going to take time, for educational processes are slow. But these organizations are a real start, and, I believe, the only way that this principal trouble spoken of can be materially reduced. With this effect a number of © the other troubles will become less and less harmful to the business. When two dealers in a town are both equipped with ability and understanding of how business should be done and the disposition to | co-operate in so doing, the old time competition is changed to that of the spirit of emulation in serving the public whose servants they are, and when this unit situation becomes general, many of the now vex- ing problems will lbe solved and the retail lumber business will be on a higher plane of efficiency and success than it ever has been. The prime factor for bringing this to fruition is the grouping together of the retailers in these district associations for mutual conference. For Trees Are Friends, Indeed I like a man who likes a tree, And want no better company, For such a man I always find Is just the very sort and kind Who’s not content unless it be He too can grow much like a tree. I like a man who likes a tree No further introduction he Will ever need to win my heart; To me he is the counterpart Of usefulness and comfort, too, And does the good few others do. I like a man who likes a tree, He’s so much more of a man to me; For when he sees its blessings there, In some way, too, he wants to share Whatever gifts his own may be In helping others, like a tree. For trees you know are friends indeed, They satisfy such human need; In summer shade, in winter fire, With flower and fruit meet all desire, And if a friend to man you'd be, You must befriend him like a tree. —Charles A. Heath in Nuggets. 50 CANADA LUMBERMAN Rich Return From Quebec Timber Lands In the course of a brief treatise on the “Timber Lands and Wa- ter Powers of Quebec in Relation to the Pulp and Paper Industry. Mr. R. O. Sweezey, of Montreal, says that the investments in this connection are well over $100,000,000 in that province, exclusive of timber limits. The present daily production of about three thousand tons of pulp and paper is earning for the mill owners at the rate of over $20,000,000 per annum. But it would be wrong to attribute this earning power to operating conditions alone, for it should be obsery- ed that a large part of any profits of Quebec mills is due to cheap pulpwood supplies. Hence, these profits are in reality largely repre- sented by enhanced value of standing pulpwood, the marketability of which is facilitated by reason of mills and waterpowers being in proximity to the forest. “Just what the effect on the pulp and paper industry will be if its expansion continues in Eastern Canada,” says Mr. Sweezey, “is a question frequently asked. Occasionally there is some apprehension expressed regarding over-production. But to those familiar with the industry at large, and who know the impor- tance of ample cheap power and pulpwood, who have seen the dimin- ishing and vanishing supplies of raw material in the United States, and who know something ofthe rate at which consumption of pulp and paper products is increasing, the problem is not so much one of over-production as it is one of where the properly balanced supply of cheap power and wood are to be obtained to meet the demand of the future. That the newsprint industry has come through one of the worst trade depressions in history with) but a temporary and mi- nor retarding of progress, is ample evidence of the strength and soundness of that branch of the industry.” Contracts are Awarded for Piling Tenders for lumber and piling for the bridges that will be built during the coming year by the Alberta provincial government have been awarded by Hon. Alex. Ross and for the most part Alberta firms have received the contracts. For some of the large timber Edmonton men could not give estimates as the supply was not available and this goes to Hallock & Son, of Princeton, B. C., and the Pointer Co., of Vancouver. Mr. Ross expects that they will be able to work out their construction of bridges cheaper on the basis of Alberta tim- bers, but the chief object was that all possible work should be given out inside the province to give employment. ‘Pays Dearly for Cutting Spruce Saplings Thirteen spruce saplings, which formed a hedge between the premises of C. H. Houson and Charles Austin at Chatham, gave rise to a suit which engaged the attention of three lawyers, and which came for trial before Mr. Justice Mowat, Toronto. The trees were cut down while Mr. Houson was-absent in New York. “Incensed,’ says ‘Mr. Justice Mowat, “by what he thought to be an unneighborly act, he began suit which developed into a lively and well fought trial. Plaintiff also makes out some case for exem- plary damages in that the trees were cut down furtively. His Lordship fixes the exemplary damages at $25 and allows Mr. Houson $500 for the actual damage, or $525 in all, with costs. Progressive Lumber Firm Entertains Staff The Myers-Warren Lumber Company, Limited,. recently en- tertained their employees at their first annual ‘banquet, held in Hunt’s banquet hall, Toronto, about seventy ‘being present. After all had enjoyed to the full the splendid repast, the rest of the even- ing was spent in a real, sociable get-to-gether spirit with Mr. Fred. Perrin as entertainer and Mr. Crawford Butler at the piano, they being the only outisde talent present. After a few selections of community singing and Mr. Perrin had obliged the gathering with some song's and chatter, the Presi- dent, Mr. W.. J. Myers, was called upon and answered the summons fittingly assuring the employees that it was his keenest desire to have all feel that the firm took a deep interest in each and everyone. After Mr. Oldham had favored the audience with a solo “Sweet Rosie O’Grady” and Mr. Bedford’s contributed “Sweet Genevieve.” Mr. W. Warren gave an interesting talk on the short but encourag- ing history of the company formerly known as “The Myers Lumber Company, Limited” and now as “The Myers-Warren Lumber Com- pany, Limited.” He confirmed the presidents remarks regarding the kindly feeling they wished to extend to each and everyone of the employees and assured them that they would be rewarded 100 per cent according to their individual efforts. He reminded them that Mr. W. J. Myers and he are the sole shareholders in the com- pany. Mr. Warren then spoke of the large volume of business they had enjoyed during the past year and assured the men that the firm was now in a much’ better position to handle more business and that more efficiently. Mr. Fred. Stickells then moved a vote of thanks to the company for the interest they had taken in their employees in providing such a splendid event and assured them that every one would certainly feat his efforts during the coming season. This was seconded bey Mr. K, Brown and affirmed by all in the usual manner. Other volunteers in the way of songs, stories, etc., were Messrs. Sayers, Bowen, Churcher, McDonald, Vigers and Scully. Mr. Wm. Storey gave a recitation entitled “The Railroadman’ s Dream} After Mr. Perrin had again favored the audience, the boys sang several selections of oldtime melodies. Fined for Having Unsanitary Camp 7 Cox, timber contractor, Port Arthur, Ont., was fined $30 and costs by Police Magistrate Palling at Fort William recently for failing to carry out rules and regulations as set forth by the Pro- vincial Board of Health in connection with sanitary arrangements in lumber camps. Information against Mr. Cox was laid by W. C. Millar, Provincial Sanitary Inspector in this district. Mr. Millar said that Mr. Cox’s camp in the vicinity of Silver Mountain was visited by him on a number of occasions and on the last visit, early this month, he was accompanied by Dr, Caldwell. Complaint was made that the camp was ill-ventilated and that there was not the required amount of cubic feet space for each workman. Mr. Cox said the camp was only a temporary one and, when visited by the Inspector, housed, in addition to a number of teamsters, a large number of transients. Magistrate Palling remarked that he was privileged to inflict a penalty of $500 and costs but as it was the first case of its kind taken into his court he would content himself with fining the nominal sum of $30 and costs. Co WV Rotarian Speaks on Line Lumber Yards “The retail lumber business as it is conducted in Wesetrn 'Can- ada was outlined in detail before the mebmers of the Edmonton Rotary club at the regular meeting recently by Rotarian Ross Mc- Millan, who has been engaged in that business in Edmonton, Alta., for some time. In his address Mr. McMillan dealt briefly with the history of the industry and some of the present-day methods of dis- tribution. In Western Canada, the speaker | said, the line lumber yards were in vogue. more than the privately owned yards. Some companies had as many as a hundred or more yards which were all handled through one main office. In Eastern Canada the individual owned yards were still common. Big Sale of Quebec Forest Lands The sale by auction of permits to cut timber on a block of forest land situated in the basin of the Manicouagan River and the Outarder River, on the north shore, covering an area of over 2,000 square miles, took place recently in Quebec. Three groups of competing companies each deposited a few days ago the sum of $150,000. These firms were: The Ontario Paper Company, of Thorold, Ont., believed to be acting on behalf of the Chicago Tribune Publishing Company; the Gulf Pulp and Paper Company, which operates its mills in Clarke City, and in which Lord Rothermere, brother of the late Lord Northcliffe, is interested, and the Industrial Development and Seryice Corporation, which was re- cently organized. The limits comprise a series of forest reserves of spruce and fir trees, which have only been slightly affected by forest fires. They are located some 60 miles from, the mouth of Manicouagan River, but are said to offer, however, great facilities for exploitation. The Ontario Pulp and Paper Company was the successful bidder, after 63 different bids on the amount to be paid over and above the stumpage dues. Bidding started from cents over the fixed rate of $2.70 per thousand feet, and finally reached $6.05. Michigan Lumber Camps Instal Radios It is reported at Merrill, Wis., that nine lumber camps near Marquette, Mich., have disregarded the old “after work” habits of the lumber jack, and to-day the woodsmen listen to speeches and concerts that come into the wilderness over the camp radio. Every evening the men are entertained in this manner, and according to the officials off the lumber companies, the radio is not only entertain- ing, but educational, as it keeps the woodsmen in touch with world affairs in a way which most of them can understand, The officials in installing these radio outfits for the men have decided to fill in the evening hours with something that will make the lumber jack’s camp life interesting g, appealing and educational. What Canada’s Timber Really Stands For Warning Canada against the fate of Syria, Asia Minor and China which he described as “depleted and decadent lands inhabited by second-rate peoples,” Robson Black, secretary of the Canadian Fores- try Association, made a strong and urgent plea for forest conserva- tion in an address before the Young Men’s Canadian Club, Mon- treal, pointing the moral from countries like those described where all timber resources had been destroyed. In British Columbia alone he asserted that ten times more lumber had been burned than had gone into the mills of that province, and claiming that the whole Dominion was faced with the total destruction of its lumber, an asset in a rising market for which the whole world would soon be bidding. He said that within the last few years fire had destroyed enough trees to make a forest a mile and a half wide, the whole way from Vancouver to Halifax, | Reduced Convention Rates to Pittsburgh The National Wholesale Lumber Dealers Association announces that arrangements have been made for reduced rates, effective dur- ing the Annual Meeting at Pittsburgh, March 21-22. The Trustees of the National Association met at New York on January 30th, and convention plans were discussed, and members are assured of an in- teresting meeting and a discussion on important matters affecting the interest and welfare of the organization. The entertainment fea- tures will be liberal, including an attractive program rendered through the Pittsburgh Wholesale Lumber Dealers Association. The banquet will be held on Thursday evening, and as usual, both men and ladies will participate. Secretary Schupner states that numerots reservations have already been made at the William Penn Hotel, and he is urging members to provide for their hotel accommodations at the earliest possible moment. , Broadcasting Shingles From Pacific Coast There has been’ sent out from the office of the British Columbia Lumber Commissioner in Toronto 1,000 samples of British Colum- - bia shingles, which consist of Royals, Perfections, XXX and XXX- XX. These have been forwarded to architects, builders and retail lumbermen. The samples are stained tile red, brown, moss and light green and have stickers affixed setting forth the proper exposures for roofs and side-walls, with cover capacity for various exposures, to- gether with important directions for nailing. Accompanying each package was a new booklet which has been issued by the Forest Branch of the Department of Lands, entitled “How to Finish Brit- ish Columbia Woods.” ‘The booklet is appropriately illustrated. Huge Cedar Tree Filled with Honey In the virgin cedar swamp of Mr. P. Berranigan, on Alumette Island, near Alumette Rapids, Ont., another huge cedar tree has poured forth its accumulated riches of perhaps centuries, This time it is a cache of wild honey lying in combs that mea- sure two and three feet square. The son of Mr. L. G. Foster, whose shingle mill near Pembroke is devouring the product of this splen- did swamp, preserved in a miraculous manner from the devasting fires of the centuries, says there are at least five hundred pounds of wild honey. Before precautions could be taken, exposure to the cold weather had frozen the huge colony of wild bees which year after year had colonized and stocked with honey the dead heart of the huge cedar. Greater Vigilance Needed in Fire Work The annual report of the St. Maurice Forest Protective Asso- ciation shows that the cost of fire-fighting during 1922 was. very large, although it decreased substantially as compared with the pre- wious year. FF. [. Ritchie, of Three Rivers, Que. the president, states that the season was a disastrous one so far as fires were con- cerned. Existing conditions can be greatly improved by the Pro- vincial Government amending the forest laws so that: prosecutions made) by the ‘Association would insure offenders being severely . dealt with. The educational campaign which has been carried on should be continued as it is by this means that co-operation between those operating the forests and the public is produced, which is so essential to effective forest protection. The system of clocks install- ed during the past season in certain parts of the territory proved an efficient check on the rangers’ patrol work and the directors purpose extending this system throughout the territory the next season. It is the intention of the directors to install several wireless telephone stations for the coming season, which will give a more efficient means of communication in the field. : H. Sorgius, the manager, in his report, states that the fire risk in the Association’s territory is becoming greater every year on ac- count of the fact that the logging operations are annually extending CANADA LUMBERMAN 51 further into the forests, necessitating the employees travelling over | more forest areas. The area burnt over on land of members was | 49% of total area burned in merchantable timber, 12% in young | growth, 20% in cut over land and 19% in old burn. The total num- | ber of fires was 238. It is suggested that the forest laws of Quebec be amended to that all males between the ages of 16 and 55 be oblig- ed to help extinguish fire when so called upon by the fire ranger, — without receiving any remuneration for services and that the mean- ing of the words “a reasonable excuse” be distinctly specified as in | the New Brunswick laws. Pulp and Paper Exports Decrease While Canadian pulp and paper exports for the nine months | ended December 31 showed increases ranging from 40 to 50 per cent | exports in December showed a decrease of $1,176,580 compared to the corresponding periods in 1921, according to a report issued re- cently by the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association. In the nine month’ period pulp exports increased nearly fifty per cent over the previous year, and newsprint exports increased over forty per cent, the total value being $77,905,275 compared to $88,320,722. Exports in December were valued at $10,249,418. Good Thing is Retaliatory Tariff The general effect of the retaliatory provisions of the tariff act invoked recently by the United States treasury against imports of pulpwood cut on crown lands of New Brunswick, imposing an im- vort duty of one dollar per thousand feet on such imports until fur- ther notice, 1s expected to be of material benefit to the province in | restricting the illegal export of pulpwood from crown lands in de- fiance of the pulpwood regulations of New Brunswick adopted in 1911. This was the opinion expressed here by crown land officials. Veteran Mill Superintendent is Honored William Douglas, who for thirty-one years was associated with the firm of Gillies Bros., Limited, Braeside, Ont.,. was recently superannuated by them after a record that is almost unique in — industrial organizations at the present time. The connection of Mr. | Douglas with Gillies Bros., Limited, first began n 1866, he being the first man employed by Gillies & McLaren, then commencing their | new mill operations at Carleton Place, working up from tail sawyer | through ‘positions as sawyer, filer, mill foreman to manager and re- — maining on in that position with that firm’s successors, Peter Mc- Laren, McLaren & Edwards, and Canada Lumber Company, till he — came to Braeside in 1891 where his industry and integrity, his ability — as a leader of men, his resourcefulness under difficulties, and his loyalty to the company’s interests made him one of the main factors © in the continued existence and progress of the firm. He was one of the stalwarts of the industry. Mr. Douglas’ successor is Mr. John Mills, who assumes the | duties of manager and superintendent with general charge of mills, yards, booms, stores, stables, boarding houses, cottages, etc. Recently there was a gathering of over one hundred people at Braeside for the purpose of recognizing the retirement of William Douglas from the superintendency of the mills. J. S. Gillies introduced the event of the evening in an earnest appreciative address that was reminiscent of the beginning of lumber- ing in Lanark and Renfrew one hundred years ago under his grand- father, the late Mr. John Gillies of Gillies (now Hearns) mills. The narrative of the primitive conditions was most interesting and was _well interspersed with humorous anecdotes of experiences of those days. Mr. Gillies also dealt with some phases of the present condi- tion of the lumber industry, which, with agricultural products, espe- cially wheat, makes up the greater part of the export trade of Canada; he pointed out that there was a future in this business for young men who were willing to learn it from the bottom up, and that the industry is one that is not in a combine or trust and is not bolstered up the government legislation. D. A. Gillies followed in a neat and brief address appreciative of the services of Mr. Douglas, and then asked him to accept a gold watch on which was inscribed as follows: To William Douglas from Gillies Bros., Limited, in appreciation ot 56 years of co-operation, 1866-1922. Alex. de Renzy then spoke of the history of the village during the years Mr. Douglas had lived in it and of the interest Mr. Douglas had taken in its welfare. He concluded by presenting Mr. Douglas, on behalf of the officials and workingmen, with a smoking set and a gold headed cane, and the expression of the desire, as Messrs. Gillies had also done ,that Mr, Douglas’ life might be spared many years to Mr. Douglas spoke of the co-operation that he had always sought to carry into effect and of the many years over which this had extended; he felt deeply his gratitude for these expressions of kindly remembrance. or WwW Should Stop Export of Christmas Trees Editor, “Canada Lumberman” :— 1 wish to congratulate the Canadian Lumbermen’s Association on the strong stand it has taken with regard to prohibiting the ex- port of Christmas trees. These trees are the lumber supply of the future and there is no tree so poor or so small that it does not have an additional value as a protector of our water-sheds, springs and wells, which protection is becoming more necessary every day, but I would like to suggest to the Canadian Lumberman’s Association that they also make the much more important request to our Govern- ment at Ottawa to prohibit the export of pulpwood, the export of which robs Canada of the enormous number of thirty-five million trees annually. Much of the pulpwood that is being exported to-day is very little larger than Christmas trees. I examined four thou- sand cords of black spruce pulpwood piled alongside the Transcon- tinental Railway, ready for shipment to the United States, that mea- sured from one and a half inches up, with the largest stick measuring only four and one-half inches in diameter,—surely little better than Christmas trees. Not only should the export of Christmas trees be prohibited but also cutting for home consumption as well, except under the direc- tion of a Government forester and only where judicious and scientific thinning may be permissible. trees, as promiscuously practiced to-day, is nothing short of criminal waste. Every one should raise his own Christmas tree. A seedling can be obtained at the Government Nurseries at Berthierville through the mail for a few cents. This can be planted in a small tub and set down in the ground till it becomes of sufficient size for use, when the tub can be dug around before the ground freezes all ready to lift out. Straw or litter can then be covered over the ground ‘around the tree, which can be allowed to remain in the tub and hole till Christmas time, when the straw or covering can be removed and the tub containing the tree conveyed to the house, being careful to cover the hole so that after Christmas the tree can be placed back in the hole, carefully remioving the tub before doing so, and covering up the earth again with straw when it will be ready to take root and grow in the spring. This method can be repeated from year to year, having trees of different sizes coming along. Any one not having a garden or back lot can always find someone who would be glad to give them planting space. Community Christmas tree plantations could also be provided as there are always waste plots that could be used for this purpose that are now simply blots on the landscape. When the people once get the idea of planting Christmas trees they will not stop at one tree, and consequently not only will this, slaughter of young trees be arrested but a tree-planting habit formed that will have far reach- ing effect. FRANK J. D. BARNJUM. Is Manitoba Verging on Timber Famine? Depletion of the forest areas of Manitoba through fires and other destructive agencies has been so great, that the province is actually confronted with a situation verging on a timber famine, was the opinion expressed by H. I. Stevenson, district forestry inspector at a recent meeting of the Manitoba Horticultural and Forestry asso- ciation. The speaker declared that prior to extensive settlement the pro- vince had been abundantly stocked with timber. Vast expanses of forest had been cleared away, the general belief being that the for- ests were inexhaustible. To prevent further destruction introduction of laws giving protection to remaining timber, he said was necessary. The future timber production of the province to a great degree de- pended upon the success of the present forest reserves. Continuing Mr. Stevenson asserted that of the total land area of the province approximately 75,000,000 acres were suitable for the production of timber. It was estimated that there remained today only 2,000,000 acres, which was producing about 50,000,000 feet an- ually of raw material, valued at nearly $1,000,000. Protect Forests By War Radios It was shown by Major W. A. Steel, M.C., of the Royal Cana- dian Signalling Corps, Ottawa, in the course of an address to the Montreal Branch of the Engineering Institute of Canada, that the arts of aircraft and radio telegraphy and telephony as applied to war work could be utilized in peace time with surprising value and effi- ciency to defend our national resources against attacks by fire and other perils. Major Steel was lecturing on “The Employment of . Radio Telegraphy and Telephony in Connection with Forest Fire Control,” and in the course of his address he shows how men could Otherwise the cutting of these small ay CANADA LUMBERMAN be trained for war service in this line while actually performing valuable service in the prevention of forest fires. This phase of its work, he said, had been actively taken up by the Department of National Defence, with which the ‘Militia De- partment was connected. In this way the war training in peace times was no longer a non-productive business but was productive of the greatest value to the national interests. Will Try to Educate Autoists The State Department of Conservation hopes by a campaign of education to lessen the danger of ‘forest fires resulting from lighted smoking materials being thrown from automobiles, Commissioner Wim. A. Baseleey told the state fire wardens’ conference recently in Boston. “In 1922” he added, “a total area of 85,241 acres were burned over in Massachusetts, and forest fires resulted in the loss of five lives, the destruction of 122 buildings and damage of approximately $500,000 besides the $100,000 cost of extinguishing the fires. The number of fires along the railroads increased from 862 in 1921 to Lol im 1922. Country Must Not Waste Its Forests Hon. Henry C. Wallace, United States Secretary of Agriculture, } who was in Toronto recently, stated that the problems of agricul- ture across the border were much the same as in Canada. The great- est problem to work out at present was to get normal conditions and prices between agriculture and other things in order to go forward. Continuing, he said :— “No—there is no ‘back to the land’ movement just now in the United States: Prices and wages paid for other kinds of labor are ‘much higher, which, of course, does not tend to make people go in for farming. Yes, | would say there is almost a ‘back from the land’ tendency for this very reason.” He reiterated his assertion made before the Royal Canadian Institute, that the United States with its 110 millions population, even with more land under cultivation, would need all its own pro- duce in the near future. “We have made mistakes in our country wasting forests, etc. Canada might learn from our errors in that line, and develop a | national forest policy,” he said. Asked if he had any suggestions for Canada to make to the Legislature, Mr. Wallace -disclaimed any thought of coming into another country and telling how it should be run. | ao eaten | Forest Conservation Among School Children Several hundred thousand Canadian school children will be well informed on the forest conservation problem of the Dominion as a result of a school essay competition for which the ‘Canadian Forest- ry Association recently awarded provincial cash prizes. Sixty thou- sand copies of the competition prospectus were sent to teachers and inspectors and thousands of the schools were at once inspired to make their essays accurately reflect local conditions. ‘The cash awards for the province of Ontario by the Canadian Forestry Asso- ciation were as follows: Ist Prize—$25.00 Mildred Giggon, Sund- ridge, Ont.; 2nd Prize—$15.00 Helen Kelly, Form III, Convent of Mary Immaculate, Pembroke, Ont.; 3rd Prize—$10.00 Marie Bel- anger, 157 Augusta St., Ottawa, Ont. The idea of the competition was to stir the child’s interest in forestry as a national cause, using local conditions as a starting point. For example, the child on the treeless prairie wrote on tree planting, tries, forest employment, etc. ——<" Judgment Delivered in Lumber Action It is claimed, that there is sufficient timber on the tracts at present held by The Pas Lumber Company, to last fifteen years, and when this is-exhausted, other tracts are available in the district. .The importance of the lumber industry to The Pas cannot be over esti- mated. It has been one of the prime factors in causing the town to The Pas Lumber erow from a small settlement, to a thriving town. Company, Ltd., have been generous in the matter of supplying free — lumber for public buildings, and officials have always displayed a live interest in anything tending toward the welfare of the district. The greater portion of the product turned out at the present time at the mill is marketed in the United States, but when normal condi- tions return to the prairie provinces, no doubt more lumber will be disposed of in Canada. , Do not lose your head. Remember that prompt action the first few minutes counts more, many times, than afterward. é the child in Central Quebec specialized on forest indus- — * CANADA LUMBERMAN P KITCHEN 8-6"*1 2-0" LIVING LOOM 15-67» 20-0" DLAN Fadil FLOOR ' A New England Colonial frame house that has a genuine homey appeal and that combines compactness with dignity and comfort, is shown in the accompanying drawings and illustrations. ‘he house, one of the series being erected in New York City and vicinity in the home-building campaign being carried on under the direction of the Homeowners Ser- ‘vice Institute was built at Teaneck, New Jersey. The cost of this structure was $6,745.78, including the 10 per cent margin of profit allowed the general contractor. The average cost per room was $1,124.24. The cubical con- tents of the house were There are three main rooms on the ground floor—living room, dining room and kitchen, with pantry. The second floor has three bed rooms, with tiled bath. The roof is of wood shingles, left unstained to weather. Henry Atterbury Smith, architect and designer of model low rental housing enterprises for Mrs. Wm. K. Vanderbilt, Sr., and other wealthy New Yorkers, as chairman of the Building Plans Committee for the home-building campaign, . describes the Colonial frame structure as “a perfect gem of a home.” He declared that the erection of such a house at a cost of less than $1,200 a room when mere cheapness of con- struction was not sought is quite an accomplishment at the present time. As was the case with the erection of other houses of the series, the best building materials were used. Arthur J. Barzaghi, of New York, is the architect for the house.

A treeless nation is a decadent nation. When the forests of a country moral health of the inhabitants begin to decline. Nations made treeless by the hand of man are dying nations Nations which once were great and which no longer count are those the forests of which have been ruthlessly exterminated. No matter what political cataclysm has overtaken and submerg- ed peoples whose governments foster and care for forests, their po- tency remains, their vigor still endures, their racial* resurrection is certain. Take a map of the world and look upon the peoples who gradu- ally are perishing. Those doomed lands are treeless. They are na- tions which, once mighty, have become negligible. Neither in industry, nor in science, nor in art do they now con- tribute anything vitally constructive or creative. In the councils of world races—save for a feeble, peevish and purely selfish cry—they do not utter any sound. Theirs is the drowsy dream of glories past. Theirs is the sunset—golden still—that edges night, and the false, reflected light of night, itil the unstirred silence of Maciel annihilation. Once there were trees in Spain. Once China grew vast forests. So scepters pass. Without trees there would be little, perhaps no human life on this planet. There would be little life at all, possibly none. It is the leaf that enables us to eat and drink. Only through the laboratory of the living leaf is our nourishment prepared, directly or indirectly. The green leaf gives us oxygen for our lungs, and uses what carbon iiss. we expel. Our food is partly mineral. We should die for lack of it unless predigested for us by vegetation. The living leaf prepares food for man and cooks it by sunshine. Our food and raiment begin in the living leaf. The leaf enables us to drink. There would be little sweet water in the world—little rain—except for the sheltering leaves of trees. Minerals in solution—elements made available by water—are the food of trees. From the mesh of tiny feeding roots, up through the soft sap-wood, and out into the leaves is carried this mineral food which nourishes trees. Each leaf is a delicate little chemical labor- atory through which the circtilatory system of the tree passes. Each leaf transforms the inorganic into the organic, digesting, preparing food for itself and for man. And through each 1 eaf the tree breathes. If in any of us God has platned the vaguest love of and desire for beaut, then we ought to grow forests sufficient to satisfy that craving. For, in all nature, nothing nobler and lovelier was ever made by God than the virgin tree in its intact chastity and beauty. The Tree and What It Possesses A tree is a living thing. It has no mind, yet, possibly it possess- es something equivalent to intelligence. It has no nervous system, yet it is sensitive. It has no power of locomotion, yet it may advance or recoil. All other attributes of life it possesses; it is born of the union of two sexes; it breathes, eats, drinks, digests, sleeps, grows. It is sub- ject to illness and recovers with nursing. It survives wounds; its scars heal; antiseptic surgery can save it. And, like all things living, it is mortal. the physical finish of it, and of us. It is not difficult for us to understand why our pioneer fore- fathers hated the forests which covered our country and turned it to a perpetual twilight. Except. where lakes or water-courses broke the vast continuity of trees, all was sunless shadowy silence. No underbrush could grow in these dim forest aisles; the high, thick tapestry of foliage shut out all sunshine, Only on prairie, marshes, or along lakes and streams and seas, where the forests edged the sun, could any lesser vegetation take root and survive. To live, our forefathers had to eat. To clear a little place in the sun for a patch of corn was a herculean task. A sort of frontier fury was born in the minds of those whose starved struggle to eat was met everywhere by the huge, gloomy, solid ramparts of living for- ests—a vast, gigantic barrier to sunlight without which no fruits of earth are garnered. Hatred for the forest was an evil heritage for us. What we call death is Heed lest it are neglected the mental and — be not our national undoing. Where forests die, waters die. Where waters die, the fruits of the earth perish. a And out of those mutilated and abominable wastes where axe or fire or both have passed, unguided by knowledge or common sense, are born tornadoes that devastate and kill; floods that destroy fertility, harrow the shrinking earth to its poGsy ribs, and turn arable land to desert. Springs, once uotecied by the spongy mesh of roots and mosses, and narrow channels ‘bordered by ‘burning boulders bare as bleached dry up; rivulets disappear, ‘brooks dyadic, rivers shrink into warm bones. Rains bring rushes of flood water only—terrifying inundations that come in the twinkling of an eye, thunder by in devastating fury and are gone, leaving behind dead springs, dying streams, and the ghastly bones of withered rivers. ‘ The forest hatred inherited from our pioneers has degenerated into the stupidty of apathy. And with it the land is degenerating, too. The Destroyers of the Forest The people of the United States are not celebrated for their love © of beauty. Any appeal to them on the ground that beauty is a neces- sity to the civilized would be listened to with the indifference born of ignorance, Forests are beautiful. Many agree; but will extermi- nate those same forests if a few dollars can be made out of the opera- — tion. As Omar might have said: “What can their money buy that is more desirable than the forests they have sold to destruction?” That isn’t the point. The point is that the destroyers of forests have made a rotten bad bargain no matter what they get for the transaction. The situation is comparable to a fruit-grower who picks a ton of luscious grapes from his vines. Fine! ‘That's what the vines are for. But consider the ass who would rip up vines, roots and all, whenever anybody comes to buy his grapes! The next year there would be no more grapes to sell. Next decade or so there will be no more lumber to sell. That’s the story. It is the story of a similar creature known as The Great American Ass. Three hundred years ago the forests and the fertility of America were supposed to be inexhaustible. To-day vast tracts of once fertile soil are exhausted and can be bought for almost nothing. And three-fifths of the original timber of the United States has disappeared. Today we are using lumber four times as rapidly as we are grow- ing it. Once the uncut forests of our country covered 822,000,000 acres. One-sixth remains, All woodlands, even including cut-over and burned areas, amount to about half the original virgin area. Of idle, fallow, unused, and stupidly neglected land suitable only for forest growth and once bearing trees, 81,000,000 acres have been so ruthlessly cut or burned that it has become a wretched, useless, unproductive waste. Three-quarters of the forests of New England are exterminated. Ina few years New England will import what lumber it requires. New York, today, produces less than one-tenth of the lumber it requires. Pennsylvania is now obliged to import eighty per cent: of the lumber it uses. The white pine of Michigan, Minnesota, Wiisconsua is nearly gone; the yellow pine is three-fourths gone from the South; in the Middle States the timber is practically exhausted; twenty years will end both the hard-wood forests of the Appalachian region, and those of the Mississippi. In twenty years the cypress, too, is doomed to varnish. What remains? ‘The Pacific Coast timber. And in thirty years | that, too, will disappear. When the forests go, the waters go, the fish and game go, crops go, herds and flocks go, fertility departs. Then the age-old phantoms ~ \ Ceri appear, stealthily one after another—Flood, Drouth, Fire, Famine, Pestilence. The Situation is not Reassuring The picture painted here isn’t a pretty one, Nor have the colors chosen been too lurid or too thickly laid on. Alas, they have even been toned down! It’s a rotten situation. There are two ways of facing a rotten situation; get under the bed-clothes and try to forget it; or get up, put on your pants, go out and face it. Of course the thing to do is to cut out the rottenness from the situation and turn it into a hopeful and practical one. There is time, still. We'll have to pay for our asinine ignorance and indifference—pay in hard cash. Every pocket will fell it; every pocket feels it now. It’s going to cost us what Broadway calls “real money.” That can’t be helped. The Piper must be paid. The thing to do is to pay him, send him away, and get down to brass tacks. Now, then, here is the problem and the necessity. We ought to grow sufficient timber in this vast land of ours for our own needs. We ought to grow enough for profitable export. We ought to grow enough permanently to protect our springs, watercourses, rivers, our water power, our navigable streams, the fertility of our fields, the welfare of our herds and crops. We ought to grow enough to protect the health of our people. We ought to grow enough to protect our birds; for, without them, our crops ultimately would be destroyed. We ought to grow enough to give shelter and expansion to our game birds and animals, to our fur-bearing animals, to our fish. There is no reason why we should not use our timber and have it, too—take each year what we require from our forests, and still retain our living forests—stately, permanent, useful, beautiful forests, paying in a hundred charming ways for the room they take and care they require—yes, paying even,in money, and paying well as first- class, profitable investments. The Government should assume control of all lumbering in the United States. ; This proposition is radical and it sounds like interference with private business. But it must come to that or our country becomes CANADA LUMBERMAN 55 like China, a land of perpetual famine and poverty—like China which not very long ago could boast forests as magnificent as our own. All lumbering should be under governmental control. The most drastic regulations should govern every operation which entails the felling of trees for whatever purpose. For every tree felled in the United States a permit should be obtained. For every tree felled, another should be planted immedi- ately. Our hundreds and hundreds of thousands of waste acres—acres sterile, fallow, burnt over, cut over—which now yield nothing, should be planted to forests. r The Future of the Industry Where is the money to come from? For every “market” felled a fraction of a cent tax to Government—the entire sum to be spent in reforesting this wasted, mutilated land. Federal control first of all; then Federal and State encourage- ment. Seedlings, two-year, three-year transplants, grown in Federal or State nurseries, should be made attractively available to all who desire to start a patch of woods. Every farm has its sterile, arid strips, of little or no use to agri- culture, useless even for scanty pasturage. It often has occurred to the writer that in the country, when two young people marry, no better provision for children, who ought to come, could be imagined than the planting of the waste acres with trees that would be a source of income to those children when grown and ready to marry. As a nation we Americans are inclined to live for the present only. Seldom do we take thought for those who are to follow us— even for those to whom we owe every responsibility. All woodlands ought to be, and can be, a source of perpetual in- come to their owners. On the acreage depends the income. Always lumber will be in demand. Always there will be need of home con- sumption also. Let the Federal Government control; the State foster and en- courage and make acquisition easy. Would it be a hardship if a State law made it obligatory that a certain percentage of every farm should be planted and maintained in forest? : New Bill re Cove Receipt Transfers The Peter Bercovitch which passed the Quebec Legislation at the last session, has been misinterpreted in spirit by several medi- ums, which have not received or read the full text of the bill. 13 George V, Chapter 6F, An act to amend the revised statutes 1900 respecting the cove receipts, amended by replacing subsection second of section seventeen of chapter first of title twelve, (Articles 7461 to 7464) by the following subsection and articles: ‘Transfers of cove receipts 7461. Any car receipt or any receipt given by a cove keeper or by the owner or keeper or other person, entitled to the pos- session, use or occupancy of any wharf, yard, timber limit, harbor, boom, warehouse, storehouse or other place for logs, pulpwood or other timber, boards, deals, stores or other lumber or products there- of there laid up, stored or deposited, or any receipt given by any person in charge of logs, pulpwood or other timbers in transit by river or otherwise from timber limits or other lands or by the owner of or any person entitled to receive the same, or any bill of lading or receipt given by a master of vessel or by a carrier of logs, pulp- wood, etc., can be transferred as collateral security for the payment of any bill of exchange, debt, note, or liability. Such endorsement, notwithstanding any existing law, vests in the endorsee, from the date of such endorsement all the rights and title of the endorser to or in or in respect to such logs, pulpwood or other timber, boards, deals, stores or other lumber or products thereof, and to all property into which the same or any part thereof may be converted, subject to the right of the endorser to have the same re-transferred to him, if such bill, note, debt or liability be paid when due. In the event of the non-payment of such bill, note, debt or liability when due, such en- dorsee may sell the said logs, etc. 7464. Any such endorsement of any such cove receipt or bill of lading or receipt acknowledgement or certificate, shall give the en- dorsee thereof security on the logs, pulpwood and other timber boards, etc., and the same or any thereof may be converted prior to and by preference over the claim of any unpaid vendor or other creditor, save and except claims for wages of labor performed in making and transporting such logs, pulpwood, etc. The bill was passed with the following amendment,—‘‘Nothing in this act shall be interpreted as affecting the rights of the Crown. This means that the bill as passed was a private one and not a government measure, and that it does not in any sense apply to Crown lands or limits leased by the Government to limit holders or lessees. It does not mean that a limit holder with lease of land has the right to hypothecate the uncut timber on these lands. Timber Cutting Operations Increase W.N Gilroy, of Coe Hill, Ont., in a recent letter to the “Canada Lumberman,” says that he is operating on a much larger scale than he did last winter. Mr. Gilroy, who is a well-known dealer in lum- ber, pulpwood, railway ties, etc., says that last season he cut only between 200,000 and 300,000 feet and this winter his output will be 1,000,000 feet. There is a strong demand for hemlock and also many ‘inquiries for other lumber, mostly of the better ends. Mr. Gilroy says there are five or six portable mills operating in that section of Hastings County which will all be busy from now on, some of them until July or August next. There is only one stationary mill in that section. Sudden Death of Fred. A. Marsh Fred. A. Marsh, general purchasing agent of the Link-Belt Co., died recently at his home, 6436 Greenwood Ave., Chicago, at the age of 52 years. The end came rather suddenly. Mr. Marsh was a member of the Link-Belt organization for over 33 years and was one of the organizers of the Purchasings Agents’ Association of Chicago. He served ably as its first president. For some years he had been a director of the National Association of Purchasing Agents and will be remembered by a large circle of business acquaintances for his sterling character and honor in the important business pro- fession which he so long adorned. Converting Shavings Into Wood Flour Mr. Ben. F. Worcester and his associates of Manchester, N. H., are installing at their Pawtuckaway Box Company factory at Sun- cook, N. H., five large Stroud Air Separation Wood Pulverizers and five all-metal 100% efficient Stroud Dust Collectors, and the neces- sary auxiliary machinery and power units. They will send to this plant all the shavings, sawdust, planer chips and other waste wood from the factories of the Bachelder- Worcester Co: and the Smith Box & Lumber Co., borth of Manches- ter, N. H., and there reduce to wood meal and wood flour, for use in the arts and industries After six months of careful investigation Mr. Worcester and his friends feel assured that this will prove to be a profitable venture for them. E. H. Stroud & Co., of Chicago, are the makers of the machinery. « New General Manager for Lumber Firm Knight Bros. Co., of Burk’s Falls, Ont., has a new manager in the person of John S. Parker, of Toronto, who succeeds the late J. H. Cole. He recently entered upon his new duties and is meet- ing with well-deserved success in the service of this established firm of lumbermen and wood- workers. .Mr. Parker is’ no stranger to Burk’s Falls, having had charge of the mechanical and electrical department of the Knight Bros. Company’s plant from 1912 to 1916. In the latter year he joined the staff of the Hydro-Electric Commission of Ontario. There he was engaged in the municipal department. In this capacity he served four years as district engineer for the Northern and Eastern systems. For the last two years he had charge of the Severn, Wasdells and Muskoka systems and supervised special development work in New Ontario. Mr. Parker’s return to Burk’s Falls is welcomed by the citizens of that place for, in his previous residence there, he al- ways took a deep interest in everything that concerned the best welfare of the community. John S. Parker, Burk’s Falls, Ont. Death of John Joseph Whaley The death took place recently in Guelph, Ont., of John Joseph Whaley, of the firm of Knight, Whaley Co., wholesale lumber mer- chants. Although he had been in failing health for several months past, he had shown signs of improvement, and relatives and friends were hopeful that he would be able to be around again. The late Mr, Whaley was in his 64th year, and was a native of Milverton, a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Whaley. He farmed for a short time and then went to Huntsville, where he entered the lumber business with his brother, the late Thos. Whaley, and his brother-in-law, the late W. J. Passmore. He came to Guelph 23 years ago, and was for some time a member of the firm of Cock- burn & Whaley. When this partnership was.dissolved Mr. W haley became a member of the firm of Knight, Whaley Co., with offices at the corner of Wyndham and Macdonnell Streets, Guelph, and mills at Sundridge and South River, Ont. Mr, Whaley went to the Southern States regularly for many years and considerable southern stock was handled. He was well known among the lumbermen, and was thoroughly efficient in his line of business, of which he possessed a wide knowledge. Mr. Whaley was an ardent curler and bowler, but during the past two or three years had not taken the time to participate in these past- times. He was a prominent member of the Masonic order and was unmarried. Forest Products and French Treaty Several Canadian forest products are affected by the new com- mercial treaty between Canada and France. The following come under the minimum French tariff: Woods: common, logs, rough, not squared, with or without the bark, of any length, and of a circumference at the thickest end of more than 60 centimetres; wood, squared or sawn, 80 millimetres in thickness and above; stave wood; splints; hopwood and prepared poles, logs of 1 millimetre, 10 centimetres in length or less; resinous wood in logs; wood, planed, grooved and (or) tongued; doors, win- dows, wood cut for roller blinds; small wooden wares. The following enjoy the benefit of the percentages of reduction mentioned, such percentages to bear on the difference between the rates of the general tariff and those of the minimum tariff: Wood, squared or sawn, less than 80 millimetres, but not exceeding 35 millimetres in thickness, 60 per cent, wood, sawn, 35 millimetres in thickness or less, 50 p.c.; casks, empty, serviceable, fitted together or not, 50 p.c.; manufacturers or turned wood, 40 p.c.; vats and tubs put together or not, 25 p.c. Fur Trade Ruined by Forest Fires “The fur trade is being driven from the country by the north- ern forest fires,” said Robson Black, of Ottawa, secretary of the Canadian Forestry Association, who was introduced by Gen. J. B. CANADA LUMBERMAN SSP ae - White to the Westmount Women’s Club recently at Westmount, — Que. Mr. Black held that the fire-swept belt of the north was auto- matically dead, as a fur-bearer, for the next 200 years, as the most valuable animals had been expelled by the fire to inaccessible haunts, even further north. This was one of the indirect results of the fires which had destroyed ten times the wood used by the choppers dur- ing the last few years. ; L. P. Kearney, Challis House, Sydney, Australia, importer and exporter wishes to be placed in touch with Canadian exporters of wood veneers, manufactured fir doors, and lumber for furniture. He is also an exporter of Australia hardwoods, sleepers, etc. On the matter of Christmas trees, the forestry man was in- clined to be tolerant. the hearts of children was more than sufficient reason for their being cut. He thought, however, that the farmer, on whose land they often grew, should obtain higher prices for his trees. Mr. Black covered familiar ground. He pointed out the value of conserving Canadian wood, for which there was an ever-rising St al cabinet woods, — He thought the unique delight they gave to market; and touched on limitations of resources, the manifold uses — to which wood was bent in every active branch of enterprise, and the devastation wrought by the fire-fiend. Some Aspects of Proper Cost System | Editor, “Canada Lumberman,”’ We are learning much these days of keeping correct costs. On has only to look over the cost estimates sent in by millmen for comparison with the estimates of their competitors to realize that methods and standards used in the different plants are anything but uniform. Whether this state of affairs is a healthy one I would not venture to say. — Wy However, there are some men who think it is, and bring their tale of woe to association meetings telling of price cutters in their district and how these chaps are making life unbearable for the man trying to do business on a fair, profitable basis. Their theory is, that these competitors know nothing about keeping correct costs. Their fellow members tell them to be patient assuring them that their tenacious competitors will soon go broke. But if we could follow up such complaints we would be surprised to find these so-called unethical competitors are sometimes very prosperous. . Right here I might point out the incontrovertible fact that accurate cost keeping will never bring about a uniform selling price. The sooner that some men waken up to the fact that co-operation in relation to prices will never replace healthy competition, will they pass into a saner plane of merchandising. I am an ardent advocate of correct cost knowledge which, in other words, means economical business methods, but do not believe in a man conforming uncondi- tionally to other men’s methods when it comes to selling his product. This may seem a little radical to present day thought when progressive bodies of merchants are gathering together in every part of the land to talk over uniform methods. The trouble is that some men, after they see the good fruits of association work on a broad basis, depart from the straight and narrow path, and defying precedent, endeavour to establish co-operation in the stead of com- petition. : I have an instance in mind where a reputable contractor com- plained of a competitor building houses at a figure that at first seemed almost incredible and most unbusiness like. For comparison purposes we'll call the complaining contractor, “A,” and the so- called transgressor “B.” According to actual figures for the year contractor “A” finished twelve jobs, taking an average profit of $700 on each job. This netted him $8,400 profit for the year. Contractor “B” finished eighteen jobs in the year of the same kind of work, but only took a profit of $550 on each job. He, thereby, undersold “A” by $150 on each contract, but on the year’s work received a net profit of $9,900. He not only makes more money, but in times of keen competition takes business away from his competitor. It is readily understood how both of these contractors could have exactly identical costs and yet one could undersell the other on a busi- nesslike and profitable basis. Contractor “B” would, of course, have to be sure that he could secure and handle the increased business in the year to enable him to work at such a price. But this would not be difficult to accomplish if he had a good reputation and bent every effort to augment, his business. The reduced price would certainly be a big item in his favor. ge In this case it never occurred to contractor “A” that “B” was anything but an ignoramus, but as he found later his competitor had his fingers on his costs which enabled him to plan his “increased business’ campaign so efficiently. Yours sincerely, Foresight. Ty (eer mexpert. CANADA The Passing of Eminent Forester Many friends through the forest products industry in Canada will regret to learn of the death of Dr. B. E. Fernow, former dean of the Faculty of Forestry, University of Toronto, who passed away at his home on Admiral Road, Voronto, recently. He was an out- standing scientist and expert on forestry and had a unique record of achievement and success. He was a native of Eastern Prussia where he was born in 1851 and after his academic training, he came to the United States in 1876 where he spent his first few years in the conversion of wood into alcohol. During this part of his busy life he made himself practically ac- quainted with the value of forest trees for a variety of purposes, and he ultimately resolved to open an office in New York as a forestry The reputation he made for himself in a country which was The late Dr. B. E. Fernow, Toronto giving little attention to the preservation and renewal of the natural forests led to his appointment in 1886 to superintend the forestry work in the United States Department of Agriculture, an occupation in which he spent a dozen years. From 1898 to 1903 he was Dean of the New York State College of Forestry in connection with Cornell University. Within that interval he was invited to give an address to a convention in Toronto, in the course of which he summed up the most effective means of preserving in full vigor the natural forest in, the formula, “Leaves, leaves, and more leaves.” It was one of his favorite maxims that the preservation of the fallen leaves is the best means of promoting the vigorous growth of the trees in the forest. Later he spent some time in propagating his views and meth- ods in, connection with Yale University and the University of Penn- sylvania. In 1907 it seamed good to the Government of Ontario and the authorities of the University of Toronto to establish forestry as an academic department of the latter. From that time till his volun- tary retirement in 1919, on account of failing health, he labored persistently and successfully to impress on the University, the Gov- ernment and the general public the necessity of preserving the orig- inal forests that have survived and replacing them by reforestation where they have been destroyed by axe or fire. In the intervals of his acadeimic work he made many visits to Northern Ontario, where much of the original forest has been destroyed by fire as well as by axe and saw, The only means of reforestation of devastated regions are these he persistently advocated with apostolic zeal—replanting devastated areas and lessening destruction by fire. May Have to Get License to Enter Woods The provincial authorities of Ontario have under consideration a proposal to compel every tourist to take out a license before enter- ing a forest in the province and to inform the forest ranger of his where-abouts. This is a plan proposed to minimize the great losses to the province through forest fires. It was laid before the lumber- men by the Government recently and was lately laid before the de- legation of the Associated Boards of Trade by Premier Drury. Both bodies viewed the proposal with approval. The delega- tion from the Boards of Trade submitted a number of resolutions to ‘LUMBERMAN ~ Or the Government including one that greater effort should be made to maintain the forests of the province. It was spoken to by James Keenan, lumberman, of Owen Sound, who pointed out that ten feet of timber was burned to every foot de- stroyed by the axe and only one quarter of what was cut down was being replaced, claiming that the province was being denuded of her timber resources. Hon. Mr. Drury said there was an offer to plant free of charge any lands secured by municipalities. This offer has been open for some time and only 15 townships and two counties had taken ad- vantage of it. The municipalities could often get these lands at little or no costs and would become great assets) “It is for you gentlemen to urge this project along,” said the Premier. Fire King Still Reigns Undisturbed Some startling facts in regard to the great losses sustained by fire in Canada were presented at the annua! meeting of the Do- minion Fire Prevention Association which was h2ld in Ottawa re- cently. W. H. Shapley, chairman of the D.F.P.A., stated that while the citizens of the Dominion are com>»laining of the burd ns of taxa- tion they are allowing $45,000,000 worth of property to go up in smoke each year, to say nothing of the accompanying loss of life. Canada was up to date in other matters, he said, and there was no reason why the country should not excell in its fire prevention mea- sures. That the association met this year under the shadow of the greatest loss of property by fire that has ever occurred in a single year in Canada, was the statement of G. B: Finlayson, superintend- ent of insurance, who is secretary of the association. In 1922 the loss reported as being $50,000,000. The amount collected as income tax was less than the amount of the fire loss last year, it being $46,000,000. During the year 1922, fires in Canada numbered approximately 26,279, the loss being over $5,000,000 greater than in 1921. “There is no reason why counties shou'd not take it up and even towns. We are ready to supply up to 50,000,000 young trees a year.” ; Mr. Finlayson said that $19,842,243 of the total fire loss was in cities of more than 10,000 population, while $12,831,2°0 was in rural districts, not included in the Northern Ontario fires.

Gregory, one of Collingwood’s leading residents and a ‘partner in the firm of Toner & Gregory, died recently in his 75th year. The late Mr. Gregory, who was born in Albany, N.Y., came to ‘Collingwood 45 years ago and in 1881 he formed a partnership _ with the late W. T. Toner in the lumber business. When logs be- came scarce in that district the firm carried on a coal and wood busi- ness until two years ago when dissolution took place. He leaves a widow, one son and one daughter. -tts-understood that the Dryden Paper Co., of Dryden, Ont., hopes to have an additional power plant and paper-making equip- _ mént in°the féar future when the concern will be in a position to improve its earning power considerably. 1922 was a fair year with the company, particularly the latter half but during the first few months the market for sulphate pulp, which is the chief product of the organization, was very dull, Scandinavian pulp having been com- peting in the United States market. @ Robert P. Kernan, vice-president and general-manager of the ' Donnacona- Pulp & Paper Co., Donnacona, P.Q., was recently - married to Miss Alice Fitzpatrick, second daughter of Sir Chas. _ Fitzpatrick, Lieutenant-Governor of the Province of Quebec, and _ Lady Fitzpatrick. The ceremony took place in the private chapel - at “Spencerwood.” Mr. Kernan and bride left on an extended trip _ to the United States and on their return will take up residence in Quebec City.

The feed works (disc friction type) is mounted on the side of one of the housings, placed high __ out of the way of dirt, etc., yet accessible and easy to operate. Paper friction is readily shifted by means of a crank, the con- tact being maintained by small - hand wheels working against the rocking boxes in which the ;paper friction shaft is carried. This shaft is belt driven from the driving wheel shaft through flanged pulleys and there is a ready means of stopping the feed quickly by raising the tightener with an overhead ca- ble which can be carried over- head to any position desired.

Calgary and Edmonton ia | Vancouver and Winnipeg Williams & Wilson, Ltd., Montreal CANADA LUMBERMAN _— — } | { The hardest worked employee in the ordinary Saw Mill L t is the setter. The handling of large logs calls for great e muscular effort on his part, while his work on the smaller logs is almost equally laborious, as he has to put through a ; | much larger number of them. Steam Every cut makes necessary a new adjustment of the log, x which, in the absence of our Steam Set Works, is accomp- | 3 lished by a long throw of the hand lever. Before the end 3 of his day’s labor, the setter is usually exhausted. Inmany ! mills, the setter, because of the fatiguing nature of his duties, O is not required to work for as many hours per day as the other employees. All this is changed by our Steam Set Works, making the | labor of the setter so much less arduous that he can doa our cs fullday’s work. Heisalso enabled to set logs more quickly, ; thus increasing the number of cuts that can be made ina _ given time; and the lumber produced is materially improved 4 e in quality and regularity. Instead of the sawyer being kept etting waiting for the setter—the usual condition in ordinary saw mills—the reverse is true, and the setter is usually waiting for the sawyer. i to produce as much good lumber as possible, at a minimum cost. As the cutting capacity of the mill depends mainly on the speed with which the logs are handled, the import- ance of an\appliance which will shorten the time required to move logs into pos- ition for the next cut, is apparent. The considerable saving of time effected by the use of these Set Works, together with the greater exactness in the thickness of the lumber thus ob- tained, accounts for the rapid adoption of this machine by mill men.

(Edmunston Division) — ee. er 2 ; = 48 CANADA LUMBERMAN BUY BRITISH COLUMBIA d Cedar Shingles The life of a British Columbia Red Cedar Shingle Roof can almost be gauged by the life of the nail with which the shingle is nailed in place. Judging from available data, the average life of the ordinary steel wire nail, which has been in such common use, is only from seven to twelve years. Some wire nails will last longer, depending upon the condition of exposure, climate and similar features, but considering our climate asa whole, at the end of from seven to twelve years a large percentage of wire nails will have rusted either completely through or so extensively that the first strong wind will complete the work. The shingles that have been held in position by such nails are then free to work down, permitting rains or melting snows to leak through and damage. the interior of the structure. Examination will disclose that the fibre of the shingle itself is still in perfect condition, and a leaky roof, in the majority of occasions is due entirely to the use of faulty nails, but the average home owner, placed at such inconvenience, will not stop to reason this out and the poor wooden shingle comes in for more unjust abuse. There are several kinds of nails which experience has proven will give lasting satisfaction, and the wise dealer will advise his customers of these satisfactory nails. A pure zinc shingle nail meets all the demands of durability required. Its principal drawback is its high cost and 2 slight tendency to bend under careless driving. Galvanized wire nails theoretically are rust proof, and if the galvanized coating is properly applied, and of sufficient thickness, such a nail will last as long as the shingle it holds in place. The life of this shingle roof, properly applied with these nails then is from 40 to 50 years. Pure iron nails, or the old cut or wrought nails are ideal but difficult to secure. Copper nails also constitute a perfect shingle nail. Timms Phillips & Co., Ltd. Waikuiiver Lumber Co., Ltd.

Last year’s cut valued at $26,774,937 was composed of 20 kinds of wood, chief of which was the famous White Pine. The lumber industry of Ontario in camp and mill pro- vides employment for more than 17,000 men, with a pay- roll of $12,000,000, and an invested capital of $45,000,000. —— lc ee eee ee oe Ontario’s woodworking industries are keen buyers of Ontario’s lumber, and eighty-two per cent of the wood thus used is purchased within the province. But the significant fact to lumbermen is that the bulk of Ontario’s forest resources are as yet untapped. Rich re- wards await the man with the initiative to develop these resources to the full. Maps will be furnished and every co-operation given to those interested. Apply to the Department of Lands and Forests. Issued by Beniah Bowman Minister of Lands and Forests Panoramic view of the Provincial Forestry Station in Norfolk County. On the left is shown the first planting of Scotch and Jack pine on a low sand ridge in 1909. These trees are now “= about 24 feet high. In the two centre views are seen the headquarters building and the seed- ~ ing beds with lath screens for shades and overhead pipes for watering. On the right are Larch and Scotch pine, being planted in 1911 and now standing 20 feet high.

In the pre- paration of material, for the annual Statistic- al Number of the “Canada Lumberman,” Scores of questionnaires were sent out to illmen in various sections of the Domin- ion in order that a complete expression of opinion might be obtained with regard to the present status of the industry and the rospects for 1923, Responses have arrived in goodly numbers from operators large, medium and small, and not a few sound a warning note against the menace of a run- away or speculation market. While production and demand may have _ yaried appreciably in different localities yet, saw. on the whole, 1922 was a fair year and trade “was encouraging during the last three or four months. This is the consensus of eighty per cent of those who-have been kind enough to favor the “Canada Lumberman” with their views on conditions in general. It - is also agreed that stocks are much lower at this period than they were twelve months ago and there may be a shortage in several widths, thicknesses and lengths before the 1923 dry cut is ready for the market. Some wholesalers are predicting that lumber will in certain districts be shipped green from the The one outstanding feature is that opti- _mism and confidence characterize practically all the operators, and while it is not possible ‘to give figures in many instances, the winter P ut = several points has been larger and the i The Lumberman By Marjorie Pickthall Around the crashing axes gleam, The sharp white splinters fall and fly, The leafless woods lie still and dream Beneath the far-off winter sky, The birds are silent in the brake, The loneiy glades are white and fair, But all around the echoes make A myriad voices in the air. When swift the forest giants fall The snow in show’rs is shaken down; The chips are scattered over all And hide the leaflets sere and brown, On every hand the forest sighs, And slender beeches shake with fear When low the fallen monarch lies With broken shrubs that flourish’d near. When trees grow greener every day, And robins call from every dell, We lay the gleaming: axe away And bid the forest-world farewell, Yet when the summer breezes sigh We dream, perhaps, of glittering snow, The glorious realms of blue on high, The trackless wastes of white below. ahead of last year. This does not mean, of course, that more timber is being taken out than three or four years ago when things were at their zenith, or that, this year’s cut in the bush will equal that of 1919-20, but it will, certainly, top that of last year. Another encouraging feature is that in- quiries are more numerous and far-flung. The feeling is in the air that lumber is a commodity which can be and will be readily disposed of and will not have to be peddled, unloaded or dumped on a patron the same as it was in the early spring of 1922 when getting rid of the heavy stocks on hand at a sacrifice was a most pressing problem. The great trouble to-day is to get the stock required, and no little difficulty is be- ing experienced at several shipping points. It has been well said that it is much easier at present to sell forest products than it is to get a supply. Those, who have a consider- able lot on hand are hanging out for stiff prices, while many 1923 cuts have already been sold at a considerable advance. Oper- ators contend that they must get ten to a Al phabetical Index to Advertisers, Page 104 ; se twenty per cent more than they received last year in order to cover the increased cost of logging operations, which, they maintain, runs all the way from five to fifteen per cent more, due to increased wages, shortage in supply of lumberjacks at the beginning of the season, and the upward trend of over- head in general. Getting Ready for Early Start With the exception of certain districts in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, where the snowfall was very deep and the severe weather militated against hauling and yard- ing, the past winter was an almost ideal one in Ontario and Quebec for bringing out and skidding logs. If the spring shows a gradual and seasonable opening up, there is no doubt that many plants will get under way the latter part of April, which will be some weeks ahead .of last season when it was well on into May or June before the big lumber mills started sawing, Every precaution has been taken this year to get out an ample supply of logs and, with few exceptions, every producer will seek to turn everything © he can turn into finished lumber. ® Building prospects are looking excep- tionally well, excavations are starting in early and th«re is, apparently, no structural let-up in the larger centres of population. The suburbs of large cities are also growing more rapidly owing to the attractive types of homes which are being built and the con- viction, which is becoming more widespread every year that the most contended, happy and prosperous people in any community are those which own their own homes and take a pride in a garden spot, ina well-kept lawn or in beautifying their surroundings. As long as home-building continues, there will always be good business for the retail lumberman. He is a community asset and renders a service distinct from that perform- ed by any other member of the body politic. The retail dealer, certainly, is a force and factor in every progressive centre and his standing in the community and record of assistance and achievement are attributes that cannot be denied. However, this is not a dissertation upon the vocation and worth of the retail lumberman to the community, but after all he is the great distributor and through him much of the cut of each year finds its outlet. All manufacturers agree that the volume of trade in 1922 was greater than that of the Quick Action Section, Page 94 36 | previous year and that the profits, if any, were considerably better. Prices when con- Sidered on the whole, were better than the year previous, during which period old _ stocks had to be worked off and a heavy loss _ taken in several cases. Of course, there are some exceptions to this general statement, as it takes all kinds of people to make up a lumber world the same as any other indus- trial arena. One of the difficulties during the last few months has been the car situation which made it impossible to send forward large consignments of lumber to the United States. However, this state of affairs is being gradu- ally remedied and the numerous complaints, which have come particularly from the East are less than they were. How the East Views Matters From the provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick come many expressions of opinion regarding the future. It is not pos- _ sible to publish all these but a few extracts will be submitted. One New Brunswick man says that he made no profit on timber transactions in the last two years owing to the market slump and the amount of English-bought deals that remained unsold, the uncertain European situation and the general air of restlessness and perplexity throughout the world. Re- ferring to 1922, he says that trade opened strong with low prices, but these gradually strengthened, Concluding, the president of the organization says——“The cut here will be double what it was last year, but still it will be thirty per cent under normal. 1923 looks like a fair year.” Another eastern operator remarks “Busi- ness in 1923 will be good if the European situation clears up. Stocks are only about fifty per cent of what they were a year ago -and the past twelve months was largely a clean-up period. There are no large stocks in the country and the log cut is light. Nova Scotia bringing out only about 100,- 000,000 feet and New Brunswick 400,000, NN a ee ee - ~ CANADA LUMBERMAN 000 feet. Business is good in the United States and why should not lumber bring a good price.” Another eastern operator observes “Trade with the United States is good for all kinds of lumber and more so it anyone is in a position to dress his entire product.” “Every day in every way the market is getting better and better; but it will have to go some yet to enable us to operate at a profit,” declares another large concern. “As prices receded early in 1922, the tendency was to cancel. We got out very few logs last winter and are getting out a normal crop this year and we look for a splendid twelve months.” A large firm in Campbellton says,— “Our stocks are fifty per cent less than last season and our log output this winter will be fifty per cent more. There is a good de- mand for frame stock; lath is good with prices trending upwards. ‘The cost of pro- duction is also increasing, which will have the natural effect of keeping the prices mov- ing upwards so long as the demand keeps good.” A Nova Scotia operator says,—Our log output will be three times greater than last year and we look for a steady, profitable business in. 1923. We made no profit either in 1921 or 1922, but iast year our loss was not as great per thousand as the previous year. Our stocks are very much smaller than a year ago. Production costs are higher than anticipated due to excessive snow. Prices are improving in the Ameri- can market and holding steady in the English market. Nova Scotia production in 1923 will be about 100,000,000 feet.” Another Nova Scotia firm says that its log output will be one hundred per cent greater than it was a year ago and all old stock has been pretty well cleaned up. The volume of trade in the last year was greater than that of the one previous. Everything looks bright for 1923. A Quebee concern says lumber is costing more to cut this season on account of the ° Possibilities of the South American Lumber Market By B. S. Webb, Buenos Aires Canadian Trade Commissioner 4 \ « increases in wages to men. “We are also having an extremely hard winter, lots of © snowstorms, which are adding to the cost of hauling logs to the streams.” ; A leading operator in the Restigouche © district says that prices should average about ten per cent above those in 1921. The volume of trade last year was greater than the previous year while the market in the United States was active but shipments were marked by car shortage. It is De= lieved that the log output will double that — of last season. This . manufacturer con- cludes,—‘‘1922 production costs were below those of 1921, for which I am thankful- The trend of the market is upwards and we look ~ for a strong demand, at least until the 1923 — sawing is ready for shipment.” 7 Another opinion of interest is from Magog, Que., and the writer says,—‘We ~ expect a fair demand for lumber to be man-— ufactured into auto bodies, furniture, etc., but local building will be dull owing to the emigration of so many French-Canadian families to the United States.” A large operating hardwood firm states — that with normal conditions a steady de- mand should characterize 1923, with prices — about twenty per cent higher than they are at present. Stocks are. about twenty per cent lower than last year. Production costs are too high at the present time in the lum- ber business, and this, coupled with the present market, has rather a tendeney to discourage building.” : Many more quotations could be given upon the situation in the East. Various phases of the industry are presented in spe- cial articles elsewhere in this issue, and it may be said that, on the whole, except in isolated instances, everyone believes that business will get “better and better” and stay in that condition, for several months’ if speculative prices and a runaway market do not prevail. A Northern Ontario man says “Opera- tions in the bush this winter have been very favorable. Wages are about twenty-five \ , Tr. ee ee aS eee ee eee ee ee ee In Argentina, the business of importing lumber in cargo lots is restricted to a comparatively few firms. In order to import lumber successfully on a large scale, a sound, prac- tical knowledge of the market and the classes of lumber which it demands are required together with ample capital for fin- ancing purposes and freighting cargo lots. Facilities for storage and distribution at this end are also necessary, and it follows that the number of firms possessing all the above requisites cannot be very large. Before the war there were some six or seven old-established houses in the business which more or less monopolized the entire lumber trade, but the business of these old-established houses has been interfered with and made less profitable by the operations of a number of new cargo-lot importers and a great increase in the num- ber of parcel-lot importers, At the present time there are twelve houses which can be described as first line cargo-lot importers, and in addition to these are two or three second line or occasional cargo-lot im- porters’ A first line importer is understood to be one cap- able of handling a cargo a month, possessing a yard for re- ceiving lumber, and purchasing thzough established New : York or London connections on documentary sight letter of A credit terms, or by special arrangements with London banks. Important lumber transactions are usually consummated in London or New York between the New York and London connections above referred to (who act as purchasing agents) on the one hand, and the London or New York representa- tive of a lumber exporting house on the other; rarely, if ever, do the purchasing agents negotiate direct with individual mills. Four of the first line importers have special arrange- ments with London banks for financing their purchases, and the remaining eight, almost without exception, pay for their purchases by a documentary sight letter of credit, which means that the North American correspondent of the import- ers’ bank pays cash to the shipper in North America in ex- change for shipping documents which are endorsed over to the importers’ bank in Buenos Aires. ; Cargo-lot importers almost invariably endeavor to sell their lumber “to arrive,” with the idea of securing a quick turnover, even though the profit be smaller.. That portion — of the shipment which is not sold “to arrive’ is taken into © the importers’ yard, and sold to local timber yards and wood- working establishments, of which there are some fifty or sixty in the business. The cargo-lot importer will not, as a rule, sell less’ than 30,000 ft. b.m., and almost invariably sells on terms which, of course vary according to the financial re- sponsibility of the buyer. The distribution of lumber in Buenos Aires is hardly ever a cash transaction. ia , : per cent higher than last year. The cost of production is going to be more than last _year. The early part of the cutting season - was bad as men were very unsettled.” - Another concern writes that prices for 1922 were about eight per cent higher than they were in 1921. The log output in 1923 will be fifty per cent over that of a year ago, and the cut last year showed an in- crease of twenty-five per cent. ; “Our log output will be about one-third of what it was,” declared a Western Ontario lumber firm. They consider the prospect for the coming year is very good. Their cut for 1922 was about twenty per cent more than the year previous. Another firm say that their log output will be about three _-times as much as the previous year. Wages were up Considerably An organization in the Midland district says that 1922-3 wage costs are up about ten per cent more than during the previous year. This is partly offset by a reduction in the cost of supplies. The log output will be fifty per cent ahead of what is was last year. An operator doing business along the 7. & N. O. Railway says he could have sold more lumber if he had had it. He looks for a fair demand from outside points, around $30.to $35 per M for jack-pine and _ spruce. “Wihen you speak of profits,” say another firm, “and ask how those of 1922 compared with those of 1921, we consider that the best reply is that 1922 simply paved the way for the manufacturer to sell his lum- ber in 1923 at a price in keeping with the : cost of production. Our log production will G be about twenty-five per cent more than last year, and our trade with the United States was very good, The volume was larger, profits higher and we have less material un- sold to-day in our yard than we have had for many a long day.” n Another firm in the same district have practically the same story to relate, de- _ claring their log output will be twice as much and all their stock is cleared out. They believe 1923 will be a bright year in the lumber business. In the district of Kenora, one concern _ teplies that trade was thirty-five per cent greater last year than in 1921, profits twenty-five per cent higher and _ prices _ twenty-five per cent higher. Stocks are declared to be fifty per cent lower, and, it is believed, that 1923 business will be at least, sixty per cent better than it was in 1922. The firm adds that the peculiar con- ditions, which characterized trade with the _ United States, were a reduction in freight _ charges and no sales tax on lumber for ex- be Post. . : } ' Active Market and Better Prices , “We believe it will be much easier to _ dispose of stock during the coming season _ than it was, and our output of logs will be _ twice as much as a year ago. Woodsmen’s ; - wages were somewhat higher this year than last, and more logs and pulpwood have been cut in this section than have been for some _ time past. The cost of production has been _ higher, so far as logs are concerned, by - about fifteen per cent, and we believe that _ manufacturing costs will be about ten per cent above those of 1922. We hear that _ mill labor will not be so cheap this year and _ there will be an increase of fifteen per cent,” concludes a Northwestern Ontario man. __ “Good active demand, with better prices, With an increase in our log output of fifteen 7 ad . . ; Lif j 4 Me fe CANADA LUMBERMAN per cent, sums up our view of the situation,” says another New Ontario firm. When asked how about log _ pro- tion and what the outlook is for 1923, one Georgian Bay manufacturer gives the fol- lowing :—“100 per cent increase—wish I knew.” Another firm say that wages this sea- son, so far as they are concerned, will run nearly forty per cent higher than last year, but supplies are cheaper, especially feed. “We are taking out about four times as much timber as we did a year ago; our profits in 1922 were greater in volume than they were the year previous. We think prices will be slightly improved during the coming few months,” says a_ well-known North Shore lumber concern. By taking up a number of questionnaires at random and giving an excerpt or two from each, a comprehensive picture of the situation is presented. Here are half a dozen offhand opinions from different parts of the country :— “Our cost of logging is about the same as last year, but we feel that things are now on the mend in the lumber line.” “We believe the trade outlook for 1923 is much ‘better. Markets on the good ends of hardwood have got to be good on ac- count of grades now being taken by licensed scalers. They are a very little better than robbers.” “We have very little stock on hand and our output for the coming season will be The Record of Canadian Trade 1922 1921 Total Trade .. $ 1,650,022 223 $ 1,601,878,617 Total Exports 884,318,008 802,714,926 Total Imvorts . 765,704,215 799,163,691 Grain Crop ...Bus. 897,283,100 Bus. 860,532,641 Wheat Crop ..Bus. 399,786,400 Bus. 300,858,100 Value of Crop $ 962,616,200 $ 931,863,670 double of last. Prices were $2 to $3 per M higher last year than they were in 1921. The volume of trade was greater.” “1922 and 1923 cost of production will be somewhat less than 1920-1,” says a con- cern which gets out a large number of rail- way ties. “Our company was not operating in 1921 and 1922 on account of being no market for ties that year in this vicinity. Re- duction in costs and operation was more than offset ‘by the decrease of prices for ties. Softwood prices were, on the average, about $5 higher in 1922 than in 1921, while hard- woods ruled about the same.” “Woods operations for this season will show a cost of thirty to thirty-five per cent more than a year ago. Our cut will be seventy-five per cent more and we look for a fair demand and_ gradually increasing prices.” “The demand is very heavy at the pres- ent time for lumber, and prices on culls are likely to be forty to fifty per cent higher and merchantable about twenty-five per cent. Logging costs for 1923 are up from twenty-five to forty per cent owing to higher wages and inferior labor. There is about fifty per cent less material in our yard than a year ago. Our log output will be about the same as last year. Conditions just now seem very good.” His Log Output Will Be Double One managing-director of a large con- cern in Northwestern Ontario, who has given the whole lumber situation, past, present and future, careful consideration, says——“Our volume in trade in 1922 was greater than that of the year previous and ae or ~ our. profits were better, while prices were a little higher. Our stocks are smaller and trade with the United States was favorable during the last few months. Our log output for 1923 will be double of what it was a year ago, and we look forward with no small measure of confidence to the results of the present year. Wages in the bush this year, so far as our own activities are concerned, average about $35.40 as against $26.32 last year. There was a sufficient amount of labor, provisions were slightly higher than in 1921, but hay and oats were lower. We anticipate a good demand for lumber and lath, and expect to pay more for mill labor this year. There may be also a shortage of common labor in certain districts.” Low Prices Accepted to Clean Up A large eastern firm who have mills in Quebec, New Brunswick and Maine, and are in a position to size up trade conditions on both sides of the border, say,—“The years 1921 and 1922 are difficult ones for us to compare as we operated one mill only a few days in 1921 and were only able to make late. starts with our other mills in 1922, due to heavy stocks piled up in our yards which made new sawing impossible. We usually operate three mills from April Ist to Decem- ber. During the winter of 1921-2 we did not cut any logs, while this winter we are making a cut of 5,000,000 feet. This, along with present stocks, will keep the two re- maining mills in full swing over the coming season. “In regard to prices, as a whole there is a slight improvement though in some lines there is a marked decline in specially pre- pared stocks, such as long average wide deals. Prices are now strengthening and we look for a steadily-improving market in the United States and South America. “Pine lumber is very scarce and is ‘bring- ing a higher quotation. We shipped some 11,000,000 feet more in 1922 than we did in 1921 but the total value was not proportion- ately greater due to the decline in price on long broads and low prices accepted to clean up old stocks and allow us to start our mills.” Expects Banner Year By Fall Another representative of a leading firm in Ontario, west of the Sudbury district, on the Canadian National Railways, presents some timely information regarding activi- ties of the past year and says that their log output this winter will be three times what it was last. He believes that 1923 will be a banner year by the fall months. “A personal interview with owners of operations in Canada and the United States, who know conditions across the continent, convinces me that the market is very bare of unsold dry stocks, and there is a heavy American building programme. It looks as if there will be a marked scarcity of dry lumber by May. We are holding a few million feet in our little yard. In quoting prices on dry stock for this year’s cut, we have been offered $7 over last year but we believe that we will get more than $10. It is our turn now to make a little money in order to offset the losses with which we came in contact during the last two years. i We are hoping for a steady market but can- not stop the present up-curve of the Am- erican business cycle. On account of easy credit conditions, we are likely to go on éx= panding for a couple of years. Then absurd manufacturing and building costs owing to the scarcity and demands of labor, will halt American optimism. ae TE a at oy ee ae eS ee eS ee eee eee upon past year’s figures. 58 CANADA LUMBERMAN Considerable Increase in Amount of Lumber Sawn hast Year—Lath Production also Shows Gratifying Gain—Bush Operations Con- The production of lumber is on the up-grade and things are now veering in a new direction. Everything points to an increased out- put during the coming year and mill operators will, in most instances, run their plants to capacity. For a number of years now with one or two exceptions the “Canada Lumberman,” in its Statistical Edi- tion, has reported a decreased cut but the tide has now changed and production is once more in the other direction. Various phases of the industry, the opinion of manufacturers regarding the future, the difficulties they were up against during the past year, the dangers which may result in 1923 and a general survey of the forest pro- ducts situation is presented in other pages of the “Canada Lumber- man,” and will be well worth perusing. The past twelve months have seen much change for the better in trade especially when compared with 1921. Last year the mills in the Northern Ontario and Georgian Bay districts reported a big decrease in their 1921 cut. At that period trade was practically at a standstill and many. operators could not see their way to expand. Others who did go into the bush, cut only about 50% of normal, The season of 1922 while by no means a world-beater, was, cer- . tainly, much better than 1921. Trade started to pick up early in the year when Canada entered upon one of the biggest building eras in her history. Profits, while still small, were made and in very few cases did the mills sell at a loss. The -cost of supplies was slightly less and labor costs were somewhat reduced. 1922, as one millman puts it, simply paved the way for the manufacturer to sell his product at something approaching a profit in 1923. It can now be clearly seen that 1922 was a recovery year and in- cidentally bargain day for those who took advantage of it and started to build. Consumers recognizing price-cutting as the symbol of liquidation, started in on their long delayed structural programmes at the comparatively cheap prices. It did not take long before the surplus stocks in the country were depleted, and, at the present time, stocks on hand are very much reduced. In fact there is a scarcity of dry lumber right now which will be felt until May of this year. Prices during the latter part of 1922 were from $2. to $6. higher, _ which helped the manufacturers to break even, at least. Prospects for 1923 are the most encouraging that have faced the manufacturers in two years. Operators estimate their cuts this sea- son to be from 30% to 50% more than in 1922, In some cases 75% more lumber will be manufactured this year than in 1922, Everyone is hoping for a firm, market and it certaily looks like a steady year of building if the number of building permits already taken out is any criterion. The lumber production, which includes hard and softwoods for 1922 showed an increase of 55,260,000 feet over 1921. This is quite a difference from the decrease in last year’s figures and gives a fair idea of how augmented demand influences a larger supply. Lath also figured in the activities, the cut for 1922 being 218,- 390,000 pieces. The gain over last year’s figures for lath was 35,- 270,000 pieces. While these increases in lumber and lath production are not great, the demand is growing daily and manufacturers will seek to meet it. The following statistics and reports were obtained through the courtesy of the operators of Northern Ontario and Georgian Bay. In certain instances where returns have not been sent in promptly, estimates have been made for the cut in that particular district, based Manufacturers as a whole were, however, very kind and co-operative in the matter. of sending in data relating to their cuts. The “Canada Lumberman” desires to thank its many friends for their timely assistance in securing returns from such a wide territory. LUMBER 1922 1921 Feet Feet Ut!

For the first time since 1918 the lumber production went above the three hundred million mark. The lath output was the largest since 1915, and the shingle field was the heaviest in the last eight years. Production figures showed, lumber 301,980,258 feet; lath 79,- 140,000 pieces, and shingles 38,180,000 pieces. The increase in lum- ber production as compared with the 1920-21 season was 63,863,504 feet; lath 23,551,650 pieces, and shingles 10,332,000 pieces. The volume of trade during 1922 was generally greater than in 1921, and prices and profits if anything were on the whole better last year than they were in the preceeding twelve months. In the increased volume of trade the returns showed little difference, but, on the price and profit question, there was considerable disagree- ment. Some manufacturers said they had got fair profits with the amount of trade, while others claimed there was only a fair volume of trade but less profits. Existing stocks by the returns et the mills are hard to judge, and it is problematical whether or not the stocks in the hands of the lumber manufacturers of the Ottawa valley at the present time are any greater than a year ago. The chances are if they are any greater than during a corresponding period in 1921, that the margin is small. Reports “show the existing stocks of some companies are lower by fifty per cent than a year ago, and still there are other companies saying they are not operating. A general survey of the existing situation as gauged by inform- ation contained in the returns from the firms, inclines toward the belief that there will be a greater log production this winter. Rumor whispers there is good business ahead, that 1923 should show a strong advance over 1922 sales, and that prices if anything will range from firm to higher. The opening part of the year 1922 was not a good one so far as prices compared with existing value of stocks concerned. The market was spotty, cising an almost uncanny insight regarding conditions, held ‘back until wholesalers had to buy. This was especially true of the United states trade. During the latter part of the year prices began to get better, especially to the American market. Apparently no sooner had a better value situation applied itself, than along came a flock of em- bargoes from American entry ports which correspondlingly sent business on the “hummer.” The embargoes still exist, and if the American railways, through their officials do not get the tracks cleared and provide rolling stock and transportation facilities, to forward Canadian lumber shipments, there is liable to be an acute shortage of stocks in the north eastern American yards this spring. Several orders subject to shipment and delivery have been placed but the shippers through the operation of embargoes, have been unable to make the customary delivery guarantee on a speci- fied date. The woods labor situation, while satisfactory so far, is one of considerable doubt for coming operations. Returns for the 1922-23 season show that production charges were higher, the margin rang- ing from five to twenty five per cent. At the outset of the fall operations the camps were partly filled; then they were filled; next the men made a vacation to somewhere or another; and a shortage occurred which resulted in help having to be brought in from Gaspe. The Gaspe men in the main did not live up to the job, and many of them quit later, They had to be replaced with consequent higher operating costs. Shortly after New Year's the camps got back to somewhere near their normal stride, and production travelled on, Early in March, however, the ‘ ‘spring” exodus took place, but fortunately some woods managers, surmising what was about to happen, had other gangs, in reserve, and kept the work going. As gauged by returns and published figures, the production of the Ottawa valley mills for 1922, and other years was:— but some sales agents of manufacturers exer-.

In the meantime the advices received by the Quebec _ lumber firms from the British agents are not altogether encouraging, though in no sense pessimistic. The crux of the situation is due to the unsettled political conditions of Europe and the depreciation of currencies. Expert economists in all branches of commerce in England, in- 4 cluding the leaders in the lumber industry, consulted in Febriary, _ expressing their views generally on finance and trade, and the pros- pects for the year 1923, advise caution and avoid predictions of the future. It will be gauged by such expression of opinions by men who as a body are the most unbiased of any class in the commercial world, that too much dependence cannot be placed by the Canadian lumber trade on the United Kingdom markets for the first six months of 1923 at least. : In the meantime a careful telescopic survey of the industrial conditions in England, causes the experienced business men to con- clude that there are positive indications in the direction of greater activity and of greater earning power, but, at the same time, a warn- ing that this could not proceed very far in the present disturbed condition of Europe. It is pointed out by the philosophical and _ mathematical business experts in England that the French action on the Ruhr from a commercial standpoint as well as a phase of trade from the international point of view, Great Britain is of all nations _ the most dependent on foreign trade, and if for some special cause _ this home consumption may be increasing and a temporary pros- perity apparent, it cannot last, if England’s overseas business is not expanding. p le ie Prospects Are Good for Building Viewing the timber trade, it is to be admitted that there is a _ great improvement and the prospects for a far larger consumption _ than that of 1922. In house building the prospects have not been so bright for years and the shipbuilding and other industries are reviving slowly; railway companies are contemplating large ex- penditures for repairs as well as other channels in which wood is one of the essential requirements, but the foreign trade is altogether _ different and, unless political events develop favorably, the opinion _ is that the prosperity expected for the next six or nine months will : likely tend to decline. British timber importers seem to realize this _ position fully and have lately been purchasing stocks of sawn goods _ from the Scandinavian shippers for the supply of the home market, _ but, at the same time for want of confidence in the future, refuse to _ commit themselves to any large extent. However, the position is _ such that optimism, attended by a readiness to change at any given _ time, seems to be the prevailing tendency. But in the present state _ of Europe, the importing by British lumber interests may be said _ to be practically in abeyance; nevertheless the representatives of the _ Quebec exporting firms anticipate a fair business even in excess of i last year. : Depreciated Currencies Under-valued 4 __ As pointed out in the advice notes received by the Quebec _ shipping firms by their United Kingdom agents, who are quite well- known financial authorities on the problem of under-valued curren- _ cies, with special reference to Germany, the situation is extremely _ disquieting. Experience shows that greatly depreciated currencies are often under-valued abroad. That such under valuation may be temporary, but in cases it is of a permanent nature, and the latter will be the case if the internal depreciation of the currency proceeds continually. The foreign purchasers of the currency will have to reckon with the possibility that it will have further depreciated in ue in the course of a few months as is at present the case in any. It is without doubt the policy of Germany to demoralize currency of Europe by deflation of the mark to the vanishing a a oe : rae ee ty, -- gee eae 2 ie a | ikea pea CANADA LUMBERMAN 61 Quebec Thinks That Business Will be Better : Leading Exponents of Industry Look for Twenty-Five Percent eee over point, and the only way to bring about the stabilization of the mark is to bring back into Germany the floating sums held by foreign countries. And this is what Germany is trying to prevent. The Structural Trade Outlook One of the promising signs for a revival of the sale of timber and sawn lumber in the British Isles is a boom in the building trade. There is a great dearth of dwellings in every section of England and, at the same time, a desire to build. Dealing with this question the reports received are encouraging if they were not marred iby the labor situation. At present there is a dispute between labor and building contractors, which if not promptly settled, is likely — to seriously interfere with activities in this branch of England’s economic situation. Labor leaders in the British Isles, like the labor leaders on this side of the Atlantic in their empiric wisdom, as soon as they sensed a boom in the building trade in England, — came forward with a demand for an increase in wages, and the resisting of a reduction. When it is proved that the present scale of wages is so high as to arrest stimulation in trade, men seem to for- get that they used to work to benefit themselves and their families and seemingly are now afraid to work in case they might benefit others. Under these lamentable conditions investors are reluctant to invest their money in building and building societies hesitate to make cash advances. These conditions are due to government legislation at the behest of labor, and it would appear that the only — remedy would be to abolish the dole which would compel labor to | work and bring wages down to their natural level. In the meantime the Canadian lumber trade is not worrying. over the situation as it exists in European countries for the present at least. The Quebec firms can afford to wait for a change in condi- tions on account of the business they are doing with the American and home markets. Their books are filled with orders from the United States where the building boom still continues and is likely to continue for the next two years, by which period of time they expect to see conditions in Europe improve unless the political diffi-_ culties of the present culminate in another war. aa ane Relais - — As a matter of course, Canadian shippers are anxious. to get back into the European markets with the forest products in com- petition with Scandinavian countries but, to accomplish this end ocean freight rates from the port of Quebec to the ports of the United Kingdom, will have to be lowered to an appreciable extent, but so long as the American demand will last, which taxed the capa- city of the Quebec mills last year and promises to be as good or even better this year to have caused an advance in the price from $5. to $7. per thousand feet, the Quebec shippers are happy. Exvorts During Last Fiscal Year Searcity of cars and interrupted transportation are the only elements for dissatisfaction. It is impossible to obtain the necessary cars from the railroads and the Quebec shippers with orders coming in almost every day for lumber, are at the time of writing at their — wits end to deliver the wood ordered to their American customers, and in anticipation of a 25 per cent better business than last year, are naturally chagrined over the car shortage as well as slow move- ment in transportation. Quebec lumber operators, discussing the present conditions of trade with the past three years, give out the statement that the business transacted in 1922 was as regards shipments to the United Kingdom fully 80 per cent better than in 1921. The following is a statement of exports of square timber and~ lumber at the Port of Quebec, during the fiscal year ended March SIst,, 1922 : United Kingdom Other ‘Countries Domestic Foreign Domestic Foreign Item M.Ft.

As predicted in a previous letter, the price of pulpwood is on the upward trend, and at the expiration of all existing contracts the American mills will be called on to pay higher prices than the pres- ent. The farmers are now asking from $2. to $3. higher for their CANADA LUMBERMAN wood and the brokers naturally will be compelled to add the higher — price for the wood they sell to the American mills under prospective — new contracts. Quebec shippers of pulpwood to American mills are meeting — with the same difficulties as the lumber firms in regard to transporta- — They find it almost impossible to get the service of cars and, — in consequence, unable to ship the wood required to fill their con- — tion. tracts. ‘The day is not far distant when the American paper mill interests will be obliged to come into Canada to establish their — mills; that is, if they will depend for their supply of wood on Cana- — dian forests, for the demand at home will be so large that there will be little left of the cut for shipment out of the province. tions in the woods. manufacture of paper. The peeel feeling among the lumber interests of Quebec is optimistic for the year 1923, as far as regards the trade, and accord- ing to a conservative calculation it is expected that the business done will be better by 25 per cent, at least, than 1922. Lumber Industry in [ova Scotia is on Sound basis. By R. F. Logan, Halifax A review of conditions as affecting the lumber business in Nova Scotia for the past year confirms the opinion that the industry has returned to a good sound basis, and fully justifies the feeling of optimism that is everywhere expressed. The depression of the last two years, preceded by the wave of inflation following the close of the war, has now been succeeded by more normal conditions. Trade, particularly export is of satisfactory volume, stimulated by a healthy demand while prices have advanced to a point where the manufacturer is able to realize a fair return on his outlay. Compared with a year ago, the improvement is most en- couraging. In the spring of 1922, inventories were large, while owing to the restricted market, which was limited almost entirely to the United States, the movement of stocks was very slow, and sales for the most part, were made at below the cost of production, Early in the summer there was a slight flurry in the British market, resulting in some liner business, and several full cargoes of spruce and hardwood were shipped from Halifax and other ports. Some of these cargoes were shipped on consignment, and the char- acter of the market was revealed, when a number of these cagroes had to go into storage, for lack of buyers. The efforts of the United States to cope with the housing R. F. Logan, Halifax situation there, began to show results in the summer of 1922, and the success of the various schemes adopted for the purpose of en- couraging building resulted in a building boom in that country, and was reflected in a marked increase in the volume of shipments from this province. As a result practically all the old stocks of suitable specifications were cleared out by the end of the year, and prices began to stiffen up. There was some doubt as to whether building — would continue through the winter, but since the ‘beginning of the present year there is no decrease in the value of building permits issued in the leading New England centres and competent author- ities express the conviction that building activities will continue active for many months. The course of the British market during the coming months is problematical, and widely divergent views are expressed. ‘The weakening of deal and scantling prices early in February was in all probability attributable to disturbed European conditions, and the nervous state of the market is not likely to disappear until there is a reasonable guarantee of peace in Europe. Overseas trade is still seriously retarded by the high rate of ocean tonnage, which places our goods at a great disadvantage in comparison with wood from the Baltic and other European points, while there is no immediate prospect of any reduction in the existing rate. The West India business is beginning to show signs of improve- ment, and there is every promise of a normal trade with the Islands to the South of us during the current year. Locally the outlook for the coming year is for a demand well up to normal. There is not much new business yet definitely settled on in and around Halifax, but the quantity of lumber required for consumption in the larger industrial centres will be considerably in excess of last year. Taking the situation as a whole, and td ice due allowance for unforseen happenings, there is every reason for a feeling of satisfac- tion during the coming year, and the buoyancy of the market has gone far to dispel the feeling of uncertainty that has been ex- perienced the past two years.

CANADA LUMBERMAN Some Outstanding Features of Montreal Lumber Market Reviewed for Busy Readers At the commencement of the past year, Montreal wholesalers and retailers looked forward to better times in 1922, They had! passed through dark days, suffering losses, but they believed that conditions would improve, that the demand would increase, and that prices would show an up- ward tendency. This was partly based on the prospects of a revival in general business, and partly on the ground that there would be a natural reaction from the drop in lumber quotations which characterized 1921. While the hopes of the more optimistic were not fully realized, the market, taking the twelve months, displayed a much better tone, with more buying power and stronger values—confidence was restored, in spite of two or three nasty jolts caused by failures: How Prices Strengthened The early part of 1922 was dull; prices did not move to any appreciable extent—some grades of pine actually de- clined—but as the demand broadened, quotations of soft- woods and hardwoods strengthened. The upward swing was more pronounced when it became evident that dry stocks were getting scarce, and those who were fortunate to hold desirable grades had no difficulty in disposing of them at enhanced values. At the end of the year, quota- tions exhibited appreciable gains, as compared with those at the opening of 1922. American buyers came freely into the market, and also purchased liberally from some of the Provincial manufacturers. These, by the way, did not as a rule find the year profitable, Some mills still had a num- ber of high priced logs on hand, which could not be made into lumber at a price to show a balance on the right side, but mills were able to recoup themselves to a certain extent when values strengthened in the latter part of the year. The larger manufacturers maintained their prices; many of the small mills, however, were obliged by financial considera- tions to sell their lumber at prices which did not represent a return on the capital. This had a certain influence in keeping the market down during the early months. Prospects this year in Montreal are distinctly good. There is reason to expect that building will be very active, the shortage in house accommodation being still evident. In addition to that several large constructural projects are contemplated, It looks as if lumber values will be main- tained for a considerable period, having regard to the scarc- ity of stocks. Development of the B. C. Trade The call for B. C, forest products was moderate, the advance in prices acting as a deterrent on some classes of Western woods. There was, however, extensive buying of timber, particularly for harbor work, and in this connection an important development of cargo shipments via the Pan- Several boats from Vancouver un- loaded at St. Lawrence ports, the lumber coming via the Canal. Transportation by boat is cheaper than by rail, and it is probable there will be a still further development of this trade. _ Although the Province of Quebec produces a very large quantity of hardwoods, the demand for manufacturing pur- poses in the Province is not extensive. ‘Mills and whole- salers have to depend on American buyers, export, and upon consumers in Ontario. During the first part of the year, trade was slow, but it took quite a spurt, with prices rising in a corresponding degree. The low ends of birch, which could not be given away in the early months, found a com- paratively good sale when the market hardened. The Local Position From a local point of view conditions during the past year were of a mixed character. Business was only moderate during the first six months, but it then greatly improved, due mainly to a very extensive building program. The ex- tent of the construction can be seen from the fact that the permits totalled $21,132,586, a decrease of $726,332, which was more than made up by the increase in the outlying dis- tricts, figures for which do not come into the Montreal total. The feature, as in the previous year, was the large number of residences constructed. Although a considerable amount of business was available, many retailers carried competi- tion to an excessive point, with the result that the margin of profit was small. Wholesalers did fairly well on the whole, but they had to face the offerings of small mills, which sold direct to the retailers and in some cases to con- sumers. This position was not a new one, it was however intensified by the increase in the amount of stock put onto the market by these manufacturers. Wholesalers, too, were hit by the failure of retailers who apparently had not liquid- ated all their high priced stocks and who were compelled to meet the situation during the year. Both wholesalers and retailers formed trade associa- tions during the past twelve months. Montreal was prac- tically ,without organization’ dealihg with jeither ‘section of the industry, and it was felt that the time had come when bodies of this character should be formed in order to improve the relations between wholesalers and retailers and to take action in many other matters of local and general interest. Exports Increased Considering industrial conditions in the U.K, exports from the Port of Montreal were fairly satisfactory. They showed a substantial decline as compared with those in pre- war days, but since then great changes have taken flace, European competition being more intense, aided by lower freights and the exchange situation. While the total of 61,544,000 feet represents an increace of 22,272,000 feet, in only three other seasons were the shipments lower than in 1922. The exports from Montreal were adversely affected by the fact that one of the principal firms shipped very little, their energies being concentrated on the sending of stocks from the lower ports, such parcels forming part of the British Government stocks. In all, about 50,000,000 feet of Govern- ment stocks was bought for transportation to the U.K. The season opened with considerable promise, but the demand fell away and very little lumber was sent across during the latter part of the season. Pine formed a very substantial part of the shipments. One feature was the buying for Ire- land, for shipbuilding purposes. The ocean freight rate was 85 shillings per standard, a rate which the shippers declared was excessive,as compared with the rates from Scandinavian countries. The steamship companies declined to make any reduction, claiming that lower rates would have no part in stimulating exports. The opening rate for 1923 season will be 80 shillings per standard. According to advices from the Old Country, there will be a better call for Canadian woods during the season which will shortly open. It must not be overlooked, however, that competition from the Baltic will probably be very keen, there having been a revival in trade from the Baltic ports, Representatives of three British firms visited Canada during the year, with a view of introducing a new system of disposing of Canadian lumber in the British market, but the reception of the project was not enthusiastic. The following are the shipments, b.m-, since 1904 OUR aS eye.

Manufacturers are looking for a substantially increased demand, at higher prices rendered necessary by the expensive camp operations, due to higher wage bills. Men at the begining of the season were by no means plentiful, and more attractive wages had to be offered to induce men to go to the woods. Naturally, the mills will have to add this greater cost to the selling price. The cut of hardwoods will be appreciably greater, and some of this has been sold at values which represent a considerable advance on last year. Having regard to the expansion of the pulp and paper industry, it is more than likely that pulpwood will play an even more important part in the lumber industry than it does at the present. There was a fair amount of .buying of wood during the year, in the main at prices which showed little or no profit to the dealers. The pulp and paper com- panies in ‘Canada and in the United States have made great inroads on the enormous piles of wood accumulated, much of it purchased at very high rates. This consumption. had to be partly replaced, although many of the American con- cerns did not come into the market until late in the year. Some Things to be Counted in the Cost of Lumber The Canadian companies have cut very extensively this ‘season, and have made special efforts to save the wood in -hurnt-oyer areas. Niele ‘ ee 3 Not The Canadian and American pulp and paper companies are using pulpwood on a very extensive scale, Last year the output of the Canadian newsprint mills constituted a record totalling 1,086,551 tons, and present indications are that’ 1923 will see another increase, the demand being such that the plants are running to capacity. New mills aie com- ing into operation and existing mills have plans for sub- stantially increasing the output. In this connection, the development of the Lake St, John district by Price Brothers is of outstanding importance. There is a question as to whether or not the production is not nearing the point where the supply will exceed the requirements) The Province of Quebec is vitally interested in the pulp and paper trade, as it now forms one of her leading industries, both as to the consumption of raw mateiial and the manufacture of the finished article. ‘ Conservation in Quebec ‘A paragraph as to the conservation policy of the Quebec government may be in order. The Government have been making further efforts to conserve the forest wealth of the Province, and during the year put into force a permit system for entering Government lands, the object being to minimize fire risks. The Government have also decided to extend the facilities for the education of forest engineers, to establish a pulp and paper school, and generally to take other steps which will lead to the conservation of natural resources. The Government recognize that the Province must take these measures if the industries dependent on forest wealth, such as lumbering, pulp and paper, are to be maintained, to say nothing of:their expansion, | °'' ~ NC ye _By W. H. Farmer - Did you ever feel inclined to complain about the cost of lumber or the extreme margin of profit that somebody is pocketing? Possibly you might have justifiable cause for complaint, but on the other hand a better knowledge con- cerning the cost of lumber may make you less inclined to complain. I-mean so far as that cost concerns the workers in the production or preparation for the markets of that much demanded and extensively used commodity. As you dwell in your ceiled' houses or sit in your corniced churches with piles of lumber around you, and beneath you, and above you, wrought and fitted together for your com- fort and admiration, let me ask, do you ever concern your- self about the cost of all the lumber that goes to house you and to protect you from the biting cold winter, the searching winds of spring, the hot rays of the summer sun, and the chilly dampness of fall? Throughout the northern portions of Canada are great forests whither year by year thousands of men wend their way each Fall to be there for the winter logging operations. If you have not had the experience of a visit to one of these centres of the lumbering industry a few facts may interest you concerning these places where men congregate and where so much effort is being now concentrated to furnish you with material to build your church, your school, your home; or garage, your stable, or your chicken house. Out of. these facts you will readily realize you have the means to formulate a correctly itemized account of the cost of lumber. Crews Are not Outlaws That commercialism does not consist exclusively in terms of dollars and cents will not be disputed. How aptly does Rev: 18: 12, 13 describe the basis and terms of com- merce. “The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones; and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk; and all thyne wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood; and of brass, and iron, and marble, and cinnamon, and odors, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and sheep, and. beasts, and horses, and chariots and slaves, and souls of men.” The last item of this list must be borne in mind in, making, a correct estimate of the cost of lnnmiberae i Win 5 Bs ee Now the men, who form the crews of the various logging camps are not the outlays which a certain fictitious literature has represented them. Indeed, many of them are men of good ‘social standing, from good homes and with unimpeach- able records as citizens and workmen. In some cases it is voluntary choice that brings such men to seek camp life, and in other cases, circumstances have p:oved an arbitrary dic- tator leading in a path from which the individual will shrink with strong resentment. But they are here now and it is al- together likely. that they will stay until the “drive” in the spring. i in) bu Now, you value your home; so do these men. Your com- munal, town or city associations have become part of your life. Yet these men are here away from all the aids and in- fluences; educational, social and spiritual which.is “the com- mon round and daily task” for so many of us; and this sac- rifice of theirs is part of the cost of lumber. . Again. there is a tendency wherever men congregate under such conditions for some to cut loose from, and to loose sight of, some of the finer and higher idealisms of life. One or two such weak characters have a tendency to weaken the “morale” of their fellows in camp who are not possessed of the. strongest of character and temperament. Some must almost inevitably go under and this debris and wreckage (always however, saly- able by the power of the Gospel), must be calculated in the cost of lumber. Dae: ic Ree ' The Dangers and Difficulties Then too, consider the physical conditions in Northen — Manitoba and Saskatchewan where the writer matriculated in the bush. 4 The men turn out at 7-7.30 A.M., according to the mea- sure of daylight or moonlight as the case may be, and eating \ their dinners in the open, return to camp at 5-30-6.00 p.m. Sometimes they work in snow three feet deep with each over- hanging limb of each tree heavily loaded with snow waiting to fall upon the axeman as soon as the first blow of an axe or movement from the wind shall shake the towering living pillar of wood marked to be felled. This snow may be dry and frosty, or it may be wet. If it is dry it means hardship for the poor patient horses who so faithfully work with the men; for dry frosty snow makes heavy hauling of the huge loads of logs, of which as many as 100 or more go to make a load for four horses. If the snow is wet the men must en- dure wet feet and legs till shoes, and socks, and neither gar- . ments can be dried in the bunk house at night while the men are sleeping. A little knowledge of the well understood science of hy- giene is sufficient to make one shudder at the thought of the possible results of such conditions; and worse could truly be depicted, but I spare you. Imagine also the possible dan- ger to life and limb where sharpened axes with edges “like knives” are carried over ice roads and through brush often by inexperienced men; to say nothing of falling trees and rolling logs, any one of which would instantly crush the life out of a man. EH first centre of lumber production was in the North-Eastern states. It later shifted West to the Lake states, subsequently to the Southern pine states, and this year the Pacific Coast has taken the leader- ship in production and will no doubt continue to hold it indefinitely, said L. L. Brown, of Toronto, B. C. Lumber _ Commissioner in an addiess on the “History of the Lumber Industry” in Canada and the United States” which was de- livered at the recent conyention of Ontario retailers in Wind- sor’ He said that the rapidity’ with which these changes _ |... had taken place was amazing. Twenty, years ago the. Lake ; States lead in lumber production, at which time they pro- _ duced about 9 billion feet of white pine per annum. This is now reduced to barely 1 billion feet. In two years these Lake States, which comprise a population equal to that of Canada, will not produce enough lumber for their own re- _ quirements. In 1919 the Southern pine States reached their peak of produceion of 16 billion feet. It is estimated by Chief Forester Giecley of the United States that in seven years the Southern fine production will be about 9% billion feet, or a reduction of 38 per cent of 1919. The same authori- ty also estimates that in seven years the Southern pine terri- tory will consume its total production and will thereafter de- pend to a large extent on the Pacific Coast for their timber needs. One quarter of the present Southern pine cut is from -second growth which is inferior in quality to virgin timber. In a few words I have endeavored to outline the history of the lumber industry in the United States, and will see that we have alieady progressed some distance into the last chap- ter of that industry as it applies to virgin soft woods stands. The cut of the United States in 1920 was’ nearly 34 billion feet, more than half the soft cut in the world. This cut is 27 per cent less than the United States cut in 1907.” They .. are using their.timber four times as fast as it is growing— aI using their readily available resources at a much more rapid rate, and so in the near future will concentrate their opera- tr tions on their last resources, those of the Pacific Slope, the ar - only region in which an increasing cut is possible, where the cut has already g.own from one tenth of the total 20 years ago to move than one quarter of the total United States pro- - duction today. This 1apid consumption of timber by the United States without any adequate provision for re-stocking should cause Canadian lumbe men to consider their own situation. Here _ we have the centre of production shifted from East to West until today British Columbia leads all the provinces, pro ducing 37 per cent of Canada’s lumber, and is the only proy- ince in which an increasing cut is possible. The word “tim- _ ber’ is a misnomer as applied to ous timber East of the Rock- des today, for Eastein timber is p:actically a thing of the ~ CANADA LUMBERMAN Already this winter (and as I write January is not yet over) the casualty list of one company includes two deaths by accident and one by sickness; besides an almost countless number of major and minor accidents; cuts and_ bruises. Reckon this into your cost of lumber and do not forget that the “drive” with all its perils, and the milling of logs with all its attendant dangers has not been noticed yet. Such computing of the cost of lumber may seem unique; or it may be urged that the same plan may be adopted in computing the cost of all commodities. That is perfectly true and, therefore, we have the less cause for complaining and the greater cause for thanksgiving. And as we look upon the many evidences of the Iumber jack’s enterprise, and sacrifice may we send up a prayer to Him. who was known as “the Carpenter,’ Mark 6:3 but whom Christians delight to know as the Redeemer and Sav- iour, and whose knowledge of the woodcraftmien’s need is as infinite as are His resources for them and all mankind. And remember,.too, the small company of missionaries of the Shantymen’s Christian Association, that through their efforts in carrying the Gospel of (Christ, the men in the bush may be won and finally caught up and transplanted like trees to flourish in the courts of our God, The Shifting Bases of Big Pioneer Industry past, and we are down largely to a pulpwood proposition. Our annual cut in Canada is slightly over 4 billion feet, about one ninth of that of the United States. Our stand is also much less, being about one-third of the United States total. Ontario’s cut has decreased from one billion, three hundred ‘and eighty-five million in 1912 to, roughly eight hundred and seventy-six million in 1920. While pine is rapidly be- coming cut out in Ontario, the cut being composed largely of the less valuable species, such as Jack pine and hemlock. On the other hand,- British Columbia’s cut has rapidly in- creased until it now stands at roughly, 2 billion feet, of which, roughly, 11% billion represents lumber. British Columbia has been well described as a sea of mountains. Over half of the surface area of the province is above the timber-line. Roughly, 100,000 square miles are growing young forests, while 50,000 square miles are cover- ed by mature forests, estimated to contain 350 billion board feet. British Columbia timber resources are divided into two main regions, that of the ‘Coast, and the Interior or Mountain region. The Coast enjoys a mild climate and long growing season, and a very heavy rainfall, about 60 inches around Vancouver. These conditions make for luxuriant for- est cover. Some of the most favorable sites have grown 60,- 000 feet, b.m. in 60 to 80 years, and exceptional areas have produced over 300,000 board feet per acre. The most im- portant timber trees on the Coast are Douglas fir, cedar, Western hemlock, spruce and white pine. The Interior or Mountain regions more nearly approxi- mate Eastern conditions, having extreme ranges of tempera- ture in summer and winter. Western pine, Engelmann spruce, fir, larch and cedar are the most important of this region. As has been stated British Columbia is the only province in which an increasing cut is to be looked for. The annual cut is only a small per cent of the yearly growth and lumber dealers who are now securing their stock from British Columbia are assured of a vast supply. The British Colum- bia’ provincial government maintains a timber exhibit at 51 Yonge Street, Toronto, showing finished rooms of British Columbia woods and an office staff to supply the trade with full information with regard to the forest products of B.C. One of the most interesting features of the British Co- lumbia trade is the phenomenal increase in water-borne ex- port which has taken place in the last five years) This ex- port trade has been a powerful stabilizing factory in the in- dustry. Henceforth, it is predicted, we will not descend so low into the slough of despondency or climb so high to those dizzy heights of the runaway market; there will be less differ- ence. between the trough of the wave and the crest of the breaker, largely due to the fact that B.C. markets are world- wide. Our eggs are no longer in one basket. y _ monthly production for ten years; foundations of the computations. - | CANADA LUMBERMAN ' 7 Sark Rt The Production of Shingles in Canada According to the latest returns of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, Ottawa, the total cut of shingles in Canada for a year was 2,855,706 M. and the value of $14,695,159. British Columbia is, of course, the largest producer, turning out over three-quarters of the total output. Quebec comes next and then New Brunswick. The red cedar shingle, is a long way in the lead.

For those months lumber production in the United States was maintained at from about 110 to 125 per cent of the average though the first four months of the year were well below average. The yearly reported figures of the United States Forest Service and the yearly and monthly figures of the reporting associations of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association are used as the The percentage which the Asso- ciation figures bear each year to the corresponding annual produc- tion of the country (Forest Service totals) is assumed to indicate the approximate relationship which the monthly figures would bear. United States monthly figures are therefore computed on this per- centage basis and the relationship of these is shown to the average monthly United States figures for the ten year period. The average yearly production for the ten years of the United | States based on the Forest Service figures (plus an estimate for 1922) is 33 billion feet; the average monthly production is 2.75 bil- lion feet. This 2.75 billion feet is taken as 100% on the chart. The relation which the production as reported by the Associa- — tion bears to the total United States in each year is shown in the — following table: . ’ Total Reported Percentage — Reported to to Forest N.L.M.

C. Copeland, Vancouver When the lumber trade of British Columbia looked forward to | what 1922 had in store for them it was with many misgivings. The | Jap export trade had dropped off sharply; the prairie business show- ' ed but slight signs of revival; the California demand slackened. _ Prices were low and an order for a car of lumber was looked upon as somewhat of a curiosity. Out of the various markets open to B. C. timber possibly the least developed was that of the Atlantic Coast; out of 211 million feet shipped there in 1921 from B.C., Washington and Oregon, B.C. _ shipped only a trifle over 5 million feet. When the writer suggested to a number of representative timber men early in May 1922 that the Atlantic Coast shipments from B. C. in 1922 would exceed 50 million feet, he was laughed at; vet the total water borne shipments from B,C. to the Atlantic Coast in 1922 missed the 70 million mark by a scant few hundred thousand feet. The Australian market, which had fallen off more than four million feet in 1921, came back strong with an increase of more than 100%: Japan climbed back with an increase of almost 50%. ‘The West Coast of South America gave an increase of 168% which to that limited trade meant two million feet. China, it is true, due to its internal troubles fell off sharply. Egypt ‘dropped over four and a half million’ and some of the other markets showed a small loss over 1921. ! When the final accounting was done at the close of 1922 it was _ found that 1922 showed a gain in cargo shipments from B.C. of 50% over 1921, or 284.75 million feet in 1922 as against 188.68 million Feet ini1921; It is an established fact that the higher the percentage of cargo, water borne shipment of lumber to the total cut the higher the trend of price and the more stable the market. Beginning with 1915 the figures run as follows :— ‘ Se ge aes ee et 3.7% Se Do ate hain the certian, ies 2.596 Re nk vag dvb v ee une 5.0% z a EG len ek na 6.2% a ERT Re. i Sale learns 7.0% NO eer) Pct Pe yeaa lied cae. ou 11.0% While the total cut hen 1922 is not available at this time it is never- theless certain that the percentage of water borne cargo to the total cut will exceed 15%. Development of Atlantic Seaboard Trade The increase from 5,431,000 feet in 1921 to 69,304,095 feet in 1922, a gain of nearly 1500%, might be startling were we not assured that B. C. lumber is the peer of any in the world, and when some of the methods of handling are brought up to the minute, will compete with any in the world on a firm basis. The development of the above line of trade points out two funda- mental facts of commerce; first, no matter how good your articles, you must tell the prospective buyer about it before he will spend his money; second, you must find out what the buyer wants and make a product to supply his needs; it is the customer’s privilege to be _bone-headed if he wants to be so, When B. C. began to send men into lumber markets of the east- ern states to learn their needs and to tell the buyers of the establish- ed merits of the British Columbia products the orders for that com- modity began to come in and rapidly gather in volume. ____The growth of the business to the United States is well shown in the following table :— Li Diuay delat aoe EE Se ee 3,565,000 ULV) cease et RR ie eae cn No figures given (Le Sea SRS a eis a Svat er 2,013,000 to California [Eos Sea dS iN Re a ee 5,259,000 Principally to Cal.

The most remarkable point : ning this is that the greater portion of the increase was in Wee oat d in the previous year, had given but a fourteenth Sea 5 ; Australia had been a market that was slipping badly, ferent from the case of the Atlantic Seaboard, which only existed potentially. A determined effort was made by several of the larger exporters to bring the Antipodes back into line for B. C. lumber and it succeeded to the extent that 1922 showed a total, of 56,970 M. feet as against 27,275 M. the year before. Again this increase showed what energetic, intelligent promo- tion work will do, even on a proposition of national scope. What Good Promotion Work Does When we consider the increase of population in Japan in con- nection with the kind and quantity of housing, it is easy to see why the demand from Japan must, on the whole increase rather than diminish. The total figures will of necessity follow the-general course of economic affairs in Nippon, The buyers for the Jap trade are also canny birds and delight to rig a bear market for their work. That is where the thousands of years old heritage of patience of the oriental has the great advantage over the modern business man of our Western civilization. As the Japanese trade began to develop we naturally started after it as we would any desirable business—quick efficient service, careful attention to quality, grades, etc. This the crafty brown buy- ers took to mean a glutted market, reflected in a too great desire to take on business with the result that, on a few occasions, they upset the market to a slight extent for a little time. It took only a relatively short time, however, to learn the methods of the gentlemen and now we have only to wait and he will pay the price and, if he hesitates, a little raise will set him very busy. Under the above conditions an increase from 52 million feet in 1921 to 72 millions in 1922 is quite satisfactory. One of the most disappointing, and to a considerable extent, provoking, features encountered in marketing B. C. lumber is the slight response from the U. K. In the face of the indisputable super- iority of the B. C. woods and every preferential right for U. K. business, the sales of B. C. lumber fell off in 1922 a measly half mil- lion feet, There are several words that have a nasty sound that might be applied to account for this fact but it is likely that “self- sufficiency and selfishness” will cover the matter without the use of more pungent words. A survey of conditions in ‘California indicate that the great building program there will continue in 1923 without break. This, in connection with California’s increase of two and a half million feet over 1921, is a satisfactory condition. quite dif- Pulp, Paper and Box Business These departments of timber consumption do not continue to show an increase in the percentage of total cut consumed by them as witnessed by the following table :— Percentage of total cut Pulp Boxes & Paper TOMGE Ee Pea RAT ek the tid Pittgc welds witge etn. 10 % 5.2% OMNI MIN ae otter ee nad eta cr cats oval onal aes tated nats ie 14 % 3.3% OURS Mh ae vA ACERT CIM We sick RNC NL Dans OG Rid Nee 19.4% 3.4% OMG a Were thee. a Rhs seaavas tx ese ere ede ht 5% 3 HOD Ome at hua «stg Se crs Qn. se Ty aoa Shh ae Sk GO 2.8% A MPe ME eaten tree! el a.enchek Oh vals De rere tote enn Ot Senet =: © 08% 1.1% In 1922 there was a slight increase of the above percentage.

Continued Improvement Shown in Ottawa Market Continued improvement in the Ottawa lumber market was shown during the opening period of March, when retailers began to move stocks previously purchased, and the number of both Ameri- can and domestic inquiries increased. The demand was principally for the lower grades. Embargoes at American entry ports remained as tight as they had been, which continued to mitigate against the shipment of orders previously booked. Foreign cars were fairly plentiful, but permits got if anything harder to obtain. Snow storms and low temperatures in some of the northern states did not promise a speedy reopening of normal transportation. The soft weather experienced through the Ottawa Valley dis- trict during the early part of the month, was also felt in the lumber- ing camps, with the result that, following the drop in temperature on March 6th, the roads were in excellent condition for hauling, The supply of labor for the spring operations was reported as being plentiful, and the local companies reported they had sufficient men in sight to ensure the replacement of those in the camps, who by tradition migrate on March 22nd, which they maintain is the first day of spring. Conditions with the woodworking plants and factories showed no general change. Commons Discusses Number of Forest Fires An interesting discussion on forest conservation and the per- petuation of the natural wooded assets of Canada took place in the House of Commons at Ottawa recently and aroused much interest. -\ resolution in favor of federal and provincial co-operation for forest preservation was introduced by P. Michaud, M.P. for Restigouche- _ Yamaska, who declared that Canada had suffered in 1922 more than 4,000 forest fires, resulting in loss of timber sufficient to cover a belt one mile wide from Halifax to Winnipeg. Added to the ravage of fire, he said, was that of pests. In the last ten years the spruce bud worm alone had caused a total loss in Quebec of 100,000,000 cords of pulpwood, and in New Brunswick of 50,000,000 cords. — Mr. Michaud’s plea was furthered by T. W. Campbell, M.P. for Victoria-~Carleton, who said that the forests of his Province had suf- fered vastly more from fire than from the woodsman’s axe. : That Spike ag at present should be toward prevention of orest tires, was the contention of Hon. C 5 r i he welcomed the resolution, Dae cae oe ae gee Hon. Arthur Meighen said he was not concerned over the fate of “this colorless and meaningless resolution,” calling, as it did, for co-operation, “which in these days often means very little.” The great protagonist of reform in forest policy, in his opinion, was Frank J. D. Barnjum, whose array of facts was absolutely indisputable, and whose grave warning Canada should heed, and at once. “In the West, particularly,” he said, “we cannot apply such regulations as we have, because jurisdiction lies within the Provinces ’ themselves.’ It might be advisable, he went on, to impose an em- bargo or high export duty on Canadian pulpwood, even in the pros- pect of retaliatory enactments, Provinces must unite in legislation; failing that, it might be well to make failure to gather and destroy slash an offense punishable under Federal laws. “Indeed, I can see ‘Y no other way of avoiding these fires that are devastating the forests _, of our country,” he declared. _ Dr. Murray MacLaren, of St. John, recommendéd a series of i ' ference which is to extend over a period of six weeks, including tour ee interprovincial conferences and more definite assistance from Federal departments, while W. G. McQuarrie, of New Westminster, urged against any curtailment of the aerial survey inaugurated on the Pacific Coast. He doubted the practicability of slash-burning, but — was assured by Hon. Dr. King that slash-burning already was prac- © ticed in British Columbia. j Complimentary reference to the’splendid enthusiasm” and “ex-_ cellent work” of Frank Barnjum was made ‘by Hon. W. S. Fielding, | who said that that gentleman was doing-a national service in awaken-— ing Canadians to the critical state of their forest resources. Ontari and Quebec, he said, had largely, but not absolutely, prohibited pul export, but owners of private pulp areas, notably in Quebec, claimed the right to-export their “product” as freely as that of other producers, Mr, Warner, M.P., for Strathcona supported the resolution, which was carried. uit: a = 4 New Organization Will Extend Operations The Canadian Lumber Co., Limited, with headquarters at Ste- wiacke, N. S., is the new organization which has succeeded Rufus E. Dickie. The company exports spruce, pine, hemlock and hard-— woos consisting of birch, beech and maple and also large quantities — of spruce lath. They have a well-equipped dressing and resawing plant situated on the main line of the C. N. R. and besides dressing stock of their own production, are doing a considerable amount of — work for other firms. Mr. Dickie, the head of the newly formed © Canadian Lumber Co., Limited, is president of the Nova Scotia Lum- bermen’s Association and has been for several years a director of the © Canadian Lumbermen’s Association. . Forestry Experts Coming to Canada A grant of $3,000 has been approved by the Provincial Govern- ment as New Brunswick’s contribution towards the expenses of the — Second Empire Forestry Conference, which will be held in the Do- minion this year, the tentative date for the opening at Ottawa being — July 25th. ? Already the province of British Columbia has voted the sum — of $5,000: for the expenses of the conference while Quebec and On-— tario have voted $7,000 each. The amount set aside by the Federal — Government, for the Conference is $30,000. i j Among the noted visitors who will be in attendance at the con- — of New Brunswick and Quebec following the opening in Ottawa, and later a tour of Western Canada, will be Lord Lovatt, chairman — of the Forestry Commission of Great Britain; ; 7m Capital Invested in Canadian Industries Lumber Industry (Mill Production) .......... $266,839,952 Lumber Industry (Forest Production) ........ 441,007,844 Pulp and Paper Industry .................... 294,550,867 Meat Packing Industry .........-............ 188,005,925 Steel Furnaces and Rolling Mills .........-.. 117,124,269 Copper Smelting (Including some Lead, ‘ Zinc’ and.

As designed it has an exterior finish of siding, which con- tinues around the porch except under the columns supported by field masonry piers. The use of shingles on the second exterior would be effective. It is pointed out, also, that a striking combination could be achieved by building the lower storey exterior of dark red brick, with wood siding above for second storey Stucco would also be effective for the first storey. The roof is shingled. The house was designed by Whitman S. Wick, of Mid- dleton, N.

Complete plans for ¢ this house can be obtained upon application to the Home i Owners’ Service Institute, 37 West 39th Street, New York, 3 he EE Sees ae Ra Nw ¥. The little Dutch house is without the usual dormer win- dows, Extending the entire width of the house the front porch is exceptionally large for a small house, 9x 26 feet. One enters the house into an ample hall with an open stair- way leading to the second floor. The particular housewife will observe that access from the kitchen to the front hall is 7 directly through a passageway rather than through various rooms. Popular open fireplace is located at an angle in the living room. There are wide-cased openings from both hall and dining-room. French doors could be used in either or ‘both if desired. The dining-room ‘is nearly square, with ample wall space for all necessary furniture and there is a well equipped kitchen. ' On the second floor are three large, well lighted and ven- tilated bedrooms. Each has ample closet space. The bath- room contains the necessary fixtures as well as a built-in z. oer and a small closet. There is a linen closet in the pe all. : The basement is large and light and may be partitioned off for laundry and drying rooms if desired. ; Outline of Specifications Masonry: Footings, foundation walls and piers below the grade to be concrete.

The latter statement is borne out by the fol- lowing figures, taken from the Board of Trade returns:- CARDIFF AND THE CANADIAN LUMBER TRADE 1913 Loads 1919 LONDON 7 1,974,228 1,259,174 CARDIFF 1,326,219 771,648 LIVERPOOL 738,591 467,601 Early in the 19th century the “Marquess of Bute” of 560 tons register brought oak and fir timber from Canada to Cardiff, the passage occupying from 40 to 60 days. With the opening-up of South Wales to industrial and commercial activities, the de- mand for timber became urgent, and Cardiff rapidly grew as an importing centre for wood. The wood imported into Cardiff falls into two distinct categories, first there is the timber known as pitwood and pitprops, used at the collieries in the construction of road- ways, galleries and walls, amounting in the aggregate to very large quantities. In fact, Cardiff imports more pitwood and pitprops than any port in Great Britain. In practically — all the colliery workings props are necessary to support the roof and very often the sides of the passages. These props, of varying sizes, are imported in immense quantities from the South of France, Scandinavia and the Baltic. Attempts are now being made to induce the import of such timber from Canada. It may interest the Canadian exporter to know that the prevailing price today is 110/- per fathom, a fathom being 216 cubic feet. The sizes are as follows:- ig 614 feet long by 214 to 7 inches diameter 9 feet long by 3 to 8 inches diameter The collieries require that the bark should be removed and pit props squared at the ends, all knots being well trimmed off. The wood required is “Larix Occidentalis” and, in the opinion of one of the largest of Cardiff's importers, rossing the pit props would pro- bably satisfy Cardiff buyers. The Canadian Trade Commissioner, in order to: develop this trade, has recently writ- ten the Canadian Lumberman’s Association of the visit of one of the Cardiff pit prop | importers to Newfoundland who is willing to also cover the Maritime Provinces if any exporters wish to do business. ‘Timber Required for the Industries Secondly there is the whole range of rough and square timber which is such an es- sential requirement in many of the industries and trades carried on in Cardiff and district. In particular, the railway companies purchase oak, pine deals, pitch pine and yellow pine for the manufacture of carriages and wagons, and for their stations, buildings and per- manent ways. The construction of docks, jetties, etc., demands large quantities of pitch pine. In recent years there has been a marked increase in the import of fine woods used in carriage building and in general cabinet work. Cardiff is an important ship repairing centre. This trade absorbs immense logs for beams, ship masts, poles, etc., where strength and lightness of material are requisite, and woods of varying kinds are used by the many works carried on in the Cardiff district, in- cluding biscuit making, confectionery, paper making, breweries, mineral water manufac-. tories, vinegar factories, jam factories, tobacco and cigar factories, soap works, ete. Why Wood Should go to Cardiff The particular kinds of Canadian wood mostly used are spruce for building purposes — oh and for packing cases and red pine (pinus resinosa) used for carpentry or joinery pur- poses and general building. Generally speaking, spruce, B.C. fir and white pine are im- ported in deal sizes 214,” and 3” x 6” and wider. Oak is used for wagon scantlings, boards, ~ etc., birch chiefly for boards and maple for flooring. The most popular widths and thick- nesses for the English trade are 3” in width, by 6” to 11” thickness. As the trade in Canada well knows, importers prefer that shipments of spruce and B.C. fir be made in full car- goes; other grades of wood sent in less than full cargoes usually arrive in parcels per liners. ea CANADA LUMBERMAN The facilities provided at the Cardiff docks for dealing with timber are good and ample. There are numerous timber floats, 28 acres in all, and wharves and yards with ' the necessary labour saving machinery and appliances. The dock dues and other charges imposed at Cardiff compare most favourably with those charged at other ports. At Car- diff there is the special advantage that ships arriving with timber can always obtain a return load of coal or bunkers without loss of time and without having to pay a second set of dock dues. The Canadian exporter should bear in mind that the freights operating from Canada to British ports are higher than those from Sweden, where most of the pine imported into Britain is received from. Now is the time for Canadian exporters to send their wood to Cardiff for the reason that Cardiff is exporting coal to Canada Regular’ sailings already operate between Montreal and Cardiff in the summer and between Halifax, (N.S.) and Cardiff during the winter months by the Canadian Govern- ment Mercantile Marine boats. This service has been so advantageous to traders on both sides of the sea that the sailings have recently been increased. A unique opportunity presents itself to open up new markets between Canada and Cardiff and the Canadian Trade Commissioner, in conjunction with the Cardiff Develop- ment Agent, are watching the matter very closely. 4 f de f f Here is a thirty-five ton load of spruce logs consisting of 242 pieces of 16-foot lengths. This great weight was hauled by the team of Sam Larche two and a half miles down the big gulley on one of the timber limits of the Abitibi Power & Paver Co., Iroquois Falls, Ont. The picture shows the immense load just as it has been completed and before the horses were hitched on. — Es: 3 nw Giada Jumberman founded 1860 The National Lumber Journal for Forty Years Issued on the Ist and 15th of every month by Hugh C.

On all sides the question is being asked what are the prospects of the lumber er ger! during 1923. "The speculative always arouses more interest and solicitude than the present. To the future we ever look with desire and inspiration. Nearly everyone likes to make a prediction and to imagine that he or she has vision which the development of time and “circumstances will justify. What is going to happen is ever more interesting and alluring than what has _ happened, and, consequently, the question of outlook is one that is being discussed on all sides. Tn interviews, which appear on other pages of the “Canada Lumberman,” it is declared that 1923 should witness very consider- _ able improvement in general business, particularly so, in the lumber line. It is difficult to present a concrete forecast, and so many pre- dictions have been upset in the past by unlooked-for turns in con- sumption, distribution and demand that knowing ones have ceased to speak with the same assurance and definiteness regarding the future that they did in the days before the war. Then the volume of prospective trade could be gauged largely by what had taken place during the past season. Conditions were normal and develop- ment gradual and regular. There were no unexpected turns in the road, no unforeseen barriers and a long vista could be secured from _. the watch towers of operation and production, To-day, owing to the complex foreign situation, depreciation of currency, demands of labor, agitation, unrest, extravagance spend- thriftiness, high living, love of luxury, etc., many other factors have to be taken into consideration. A world war upsets every standard and uproots every tradition, and the work of liquidation, replace- ment and readjustment is naturally prolix and painful. , However, 1922 was a much better year in the forest products line than the previous one judging by reports received from lum- bermen in all parts of the Dominion. Building was more active and demand gradually developed and strengthened until the last three months of the year witnessed in some quarters a remarkable revival. ‘ So far as. the coming year is concerned, manufacturers and _ wholesalers believe that business for the first six months at any tate will be unusually good, but just what will happen after that when the new cut comes on the market, no one cares to foretell. Everything points to the fact that 1923 will, on the whole, be a bet- . “ter period than 1922, providing no untoward event occurs to mar . the increasing demand for lumber, the home building campaign, con- _ structional undertakings, the awakening activity in “industrial enter- prises and the numerous projects that are being considered and dis- cussed on all sides. No one expects that 1923 will be a boom year but it should be one of uniform business transacted on a sound, om | CANADA LUMBERMAN aN concerned, These contracts are not binding ones but are based on} square profit basis and not characterized by any artificial nen a The latter tend to becloud the issue and warp the judgment an ideas of those who are inclined to be swept off their feet without | sufficient thought or discernment. A firm hand, a clear conscience, abundant patience, diligent application, greater efficiency and needed economies will bring the | lumber industry through the coming year with a larger measure of satisfaction to all branches than has been witnessed during the past decade. Babson, in a recent article, gives the following opinion of 1923: “Tt will be possible for you to make as much during the next twelve months as in any year of your business life, but it will not be along the lines which made money in 1919 and 1920, nor in any other boom year. The profits of 1923 will come by giving attention to dctailal ; by stopping the little leaks, by saving here and there through ne\ wo labor-saving inventions, and most of all, by devising new and more economical means of distributing goods.” : 19 ——— to You Honor Contracts? Bs This question is again being asked ‘by lumbermen in various parts of the country owing to the ascending prices in certain lines” of wood products. It is a peculiar commentary upon human na- — ture that some producers think, while they operate normally by one rule, it may with impunity be suspended in time of stress or difficul- — ty. A business man will frequently talk about the shortcomings of another, his lack of honor, judgment, sense of obligation and square — dealing. At the same time the accusant may be guilty of more flag- — rant breaches of merchandizing ethics than any which he attributes © to the other fellow. There are certain men who always observe the golden rule, and are able in every relation of life to see two sides to a proposition and act toward others as they would have deal with them. In the buying and selling of lumber, too much nowadays | is often left unrecorded or implied. There is nothing definite in black — and white, so far as stipulations as to trade, delivery, price, etc., are How Far Do loose, oral agreements or cloudily-worded correspondence, embody- ing terms and expressions which are not interpreted the same way by ‘both parties. The result is that there is opened up a fruitful — source of misunderstanding, suspicion, delay and dissension. The train, that leaves a station in which there is a network of tracks, but proceeds out on the right one and starts on time, is_ seldom delayed or has any difficulty in reaching its destination at” the appointed ‘hour. The same observation might be applied to properly worded, carefully drawn-up order forms, which do not leave a wide loop-hole for an assumption that such and such is the case. Of course, there are instances where a ‘buyer or seller may have deliberate intention to defraud and deceive, but such cases — are rare. When trade relations and terms of sale are called into question, it has an unpleasant effect generally for its reflex action is felt more widely than the two parties immediately concerned. — Each one tells his friends and thus considerable backbiting and tra- ducing follow. The number of complaints regarding cancellation of contracts — or misrepresentation as to grades, color, width, thickness, etc., is gradually disappearing The number of dealers who are honest and. want to do the right thing is increasing, but there is still consider- | able carelessness in making out contracts or in writing up_ orders — which leads to doubt and misunderstanding. | Wholesale lumbermen — have to live up to their contracts in both dull and prosperous ones © and they naturally expect that retailers will do the same. Many flimsy pretexts can be offered for cancelling an order. An offender © may get away with these fictitious reasons a few times but in the © long run he becomes recognized and if he was aware how he is re- garded by salesmen, he would, think twice before following a course which possibly he may have regarded as clever or shrewd. . The man, who really wants to get out of a contract and goes to the seller and frankly confesses that he can buy cheaper elsewhere — and that he does not wish to be forced to honor or accept the order earns, at least, respect for his candor and fairness, which is an asset in all business transactions. He, who puts forward some trivial or spurious plea about terms of payment, shake, stain, moisture, sub- stitution, low grading, etc..—when such defects do not really occur, —is not one who has the courage of his convictions, and is looked upon as tricky or deceitful. ib The dealer who faithfully and loyally carries out his contract, ae even though at a pecuniary loss to himself, is the gainer in the long ‘3 run, not only in the matter of earning the goodwill and kindly con- sideration of those higher up in the trade but in numerous other — ways. When conditions are altered, those from whom he buys, are frequently able to be of such assistance, and true friendship and established confidence are attributes more enduring os a . dollar and cents gain or some temporary advantage. * “What is doing in the lumber business in your locality ?” was the question recently asked of representative retail deal- ers in various sections of the country. There is no man in the trade who has his ear closer to the ground than the alert yardman in the towns, villages and cities. He comes in contact with all classes of people and is sure to learn the extent of building operations, the ordinary trend of trade, the spread of the home-building idea, the growth of new sec- - tions and how the farmers feel in the matter of repairs and alterations. It is not the intention to dwell at any length upon the situation for the coming season but to let others speak who ~ are very directly in touch with all that is around and about _ them. Here are a few opinions from representative retailers in widely scattered districts :— The prospects of building in this district are good and improving all the while—K. J, Shirton, Dunnville, President of the Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association. With the mines resuming work and general conditions in all lines improving, we expect a good season.—J. A. La- berge, Sudbury. . The prospects here are fair. Can speak more definitely a little later—West & Jackson, Tillsonburg. Things look bright for spring—Davis & Doty, Oakville. So far the outlook is not very encouraging in this local- ity. Houses which have been built for sale, are not disposed _ of and buyers do not seem to be in a position to make any worth-while payments. There will be less house-building here than usual—Reid Bros., Niagara Falls. The outlook here is fairly good.—B. & N. Planing Mills, Milverton. Gamat Speak definitely at present. Much depends upon the manufacturers stirring. up—O. W. Rice & Co., Welland. ie Lumber and building outlook very good—W. J. Travis ~ & Son, Wyoming. Everything appears promising.—Elliott Lumber Co., Limited, New Toronto. _ Very good, indeed.—McGibbon & Sons, Sarnia. The lumber outlook is better than for some time with stiffening i in prices all along the line——Charles A. Duff, Ren- frew.. Steady Improvement Since Fall Everything is going ahead in Listowel and the prospects are ‘bright in the lumber line—Robert Oliver, Listowel. We do not anticipate very much improvement in 1923. Quite a large number of vacant houses here. ’ of new schools and dwellings things have been pretty well - taken care of for some time and there may not be many fac- tory additions.—Patterson & Crosthwaite, Hamilton. Everything looks very well for trade in this section — P. G. Piggott Lumber Co., Chatham. At present the outlook is much better and shows a steady improvement since fall and the early part of the winter. In- quiries are coming quite freely for hardwood lumber. I did not intend to buy or cut many logs but now as prices seem ~ +» to be on the up-grade, I will buy all the logs I can get.— ~ John D. Campbell, Cornwall. -» - For the coming season the outlook is good. If lumber prices keep stabilized it would give evidence to the trade and ensure a good year’s business——P. W. Gardiner & Son, Galt. - - We expect a good season from present outlook. —Ross Taylor & Co., Exeter, Ont. Our Kitchener office reports prospects good and our Hes- _ peler branch as fair, So far as Guelph is concerned, things _ are looking fairly well—Robert Stewart Limited, Guelph. Conditions are looking fairly well here. We expect con- siderable improvement toward the end of the month.—George Thompson, Cobourg. Trade is quiet at present. The outlook will be very good a? if prices do not advance—D. J. McEachren & Son, Alvinston. Considerable building will likely commence here as soon Bilas spring opens up. This should help the outlook for the lumber business in this district—Frank McLean, Brigden. _ The outlook for the lumber business is not very promis- pa F Tenn iggy : NTS ES I aes eee In the matter CANADA LUMBERMAN How Retailers are “Sizing Up” Spring Trade ing in this section at present but may improve-—Wm. Swan, Bright, Ont, The lumber horizon is brighter. Our inquiries, particu- larly for maple and birch, are larger than they have been, and we have been able to get our stocks cleaned up although we have not made shipments of all of it yet. The retail price looks promising for spring unless the advance in spruce holds it up.—A. L. McDermid & Co., Apple Hill. We are looking forward to a considerable improvement in spring business.—Ingleby-Taylor Co., Limited, Brantford. Much Better Than Last Year Outlook very encouraging, much better than in 1922 which was our smallest year in the retail business since 1917. —A. F. Campbell & Son, Arnprior. For 1923 the prospects are very good in our locality— Ball Planing Mill Co., Barrie. Outlook for business here is good.—A. Burlington. Things in this district are looking up. Lumber Co., Fairbank. There are some inquiries for material for building and we are looking for a good year as we always do.—Allen Lum- ber Co., Kingston. I think the prospects are more favorable for an active and prosperous business than they were in 1922.—George Edg- ington, Brownsville. We expect a fairly good spring trade in small owner homes.—Frank A. Bowden & Sons Co., Lansing. It is a little too early yet for us to speak with respect to Coates & Son, Fairbank Coal & business prespects as things do not begin to move until about the middle of March, We hope, however, for a good year.— F. B. VanDusen, Brockville. Business in this section is quiet but we expect when spring opens up that we will have a bigger turnover than last year—Wim. A. Nichols, Carleton Place. Outlook not as good as if lumber prices were stabilized. —Macpherson & Clarke, Glencoe. Everything looks very bright.—J. Murdock, Durham. All depends on prices. If they advance much it will tend to kill trade. We rather expect some will try to bring about a runaway market.—Naylor-Osborne Co., Essex. Fairly good, I should say.—D. Anderson, Dryden. Prospects improving every day. There will be a limited amount of home-building but very little speculative build- ing. School and church construction quite active.—S. Had- ley Lumber Co., Chatham. Very Busy in Milling Line My trade is mill customs sawing. Farmers bring in logs from their wood lots for converting into lumber for ‘their own use. Owing to lots of snow there have ‘been consider- ably more logs coming in than last year. So far as building is concerned, we think it will be about the same as last year. —A. E. Reesor, Markham. The outlook is very good, about 25 per cent increase in production over last year in the lumber line, with prices on the up-grade——Joseph Speers, Burk’s Falls. If spring conditions are favorable to the farmer and prices for agricultural produce advance, we expect a good season — McLaurin & Sinclair, Vankleek Hill. There is not a large demand for lumber at the present time, but it is steady.—Berhalter Lumber Co., Thorold. The outlook in this district is fair so far as construction is concerned.—Zimmerman Bros., Travistock. Very good business in sight—Longfield Bros., Brydges. Many other replies have been received from representa- tive dealers and it is not possible to quote all. The general outlook, however, appears to be that in nearly every centre 1923 trade in the lumber and building line should show an improvement over that of 1922, providing prices do not un- duly ascend. Stability in quotations and equalization of con- sumption and distribution are desirable factors in the lumber arena today.

She is eleven years old and attends Hartfell public school, which is five miles from Sundridge where she has lived all her life. Her father is a farmer and works out pulpwood and other timber off his pro- perty.. Mildred says they have a sugar bush and evaporator that handles the fruit of two thousand trees. She also says that her father came to Sundridge district, when it was all bush. Her essay was as follows: In speaking of the importance of our forests it is hard to place too much value on our timber. So much of our daily work is con- nected with timber that it is hard to realize what we would do with- out it., In the early days here as elsewhere everything was wooden, and in clearing the land the biggest job was to get rid of the timber by fire, or any other way, and no attempt was made to prevent the fire from spreading to the bush and doing a good deal of damage in the winter taking ‘by burning over great tracts of land that have since giown up with berry ‘bushes and trash, spoiling forever the natural beauty of our forests. My father came over here forty years ago and at that time timber of all kinds was not worth anything only in the way of Ont. Winner of school essay competi- tion on forest conservation Mildred Gibbon, Sundridge, a ‘building and fencing. Fine big pine trees that are nowadays looked on by anyone that may have a few as being a prize were burned in great heaps, also birch, spruce and balsam, “also maple and all other kinds of timber that grow here were logged up and burnt and no attempt was made to save or preserve the standing timber. All kinds of timber are looked on as so much money. Those who are looking to the future are not wasting anything in clearing land. What will make logs, are drawn to the mill and sold. The rough wood and limbs are cut into stove and furnace wood and sold in the villages and to the dealers who ship it out to the cities. hen the lumber camps give steady work to an army of men and teams from early fall till the snow is all gone in the spring. All our neighbours for miles around here work in the bush all winter either in camps or taking out pulp wood and stove wood. A great deal of money is brought into the homes that way and we depend entirely on wood to cook our meals and keep us warm. In the early days I have heard my father say that a real dry summer was unknown and it was be- cause of so much green bush around that kept the air moist, but as the clearances got bigger and the bush fires were a yearly occurrence, the ground dried up and the crops suffered for lack of moisture. I think every farm should have a wood plot left or planted, Waste or stoney places should be planted with trees that will grow on that kind of soil and great care should be taken when clearing land so that fire does not get away in the bush and burn in a few days or hours what has taken hundreds of years to grow. A great many fires are caused in this way, but not all. Tourists and campers are sometimes not as careful as they should be. Camp fires are not carefully put out and matches are thrown away by care- less smokers and fires starting destroy hundreds of acres of valuable timber that in a few years grow to a thicket of berry bushes and pin cherries. Of course these give place to other and more valuabl timber in a few years, but nobody, or at least not many, are living® today that will earn much money taking out timber ‘or wood from land that has been burnt over and has Sf ore up with second growth timber. I think that greater care should be taken by everybody andl stamp out this enemy of our forests. I must say a word before I g through about one of our best paying side lines to farming, I mea the maple sugar bush. Thousands of gallons of maple syrup a made every year in this part of the country and is sent all o Canada and some is sent to foreign countries and a deal of is made by those having a good sugar bush. And the best of it is nevers wears out but is ready every spring with its crop of ‘syr and sugar. \ 5 eri How Fire Fiend Keeps Up His Work ~~ Property to the value of 22 million dollars was destroyed by fire in Ontario during 1922, according to a statement made by Firey Marshall EF. P. Heaton to representatives of the Mutual Fire Under- writers’ Association recently in Toronto. This tremendous increase over previous years was partly due to the fires in Northern Ontario. — There were large increases in barn ‘fires, which numbered 663, ‘and also in fires in dwelling gs, which totalled 6,000. Fire Marshall Heaton — expressed the opinion ‘that the use of soft coal and other substitutes for anthracite had resulted in many fires. Another speaker, Mungo McNab, said that too many barn fires were attributed to spontaneous: combustion, which many farmers gave as the cause of a fire which was started by themselves. i Three Rivers Selected for School It is understood that Three Rivers, Que., has ‘been chosen for the -erection of the pulp and paper school, legislation provision for which was made at the last session of the provincial legislature. Three Rivers is a great pulp and paper centre and the location is’ regarded as an admirable one from every standpoint. The school will be operated under control of the Provincial Government, but the © pulp and paper mill owners will co-operate to a great extent as the institution will supply them with experts within a short time. ; The construction of the school will start early this spring and will be completed on time to be in full operation next fall, ‘ The Forestry Educational System in Quebec, which is under the direction of Messrs. Gustave Piche, Chief Forestry Engineer and Mr. Avila Bedard, his assistant, will be a complete one. At present plans are being prepared to erect the new Brest School on Ste. ‘Foye Road, retaining its affiliation with Laval Uni- versity, but being transferred to that point in order to supply greater | accommodation. The complete curriculum of the néw system will include study at the forestry school, the pulp and paper school, and practical — courses where forest rangers will be able to receive instructions re- garding the protection of ‘forests against fires. The 1923 programme of the Department of Lands and Forests to reduce the losses through forest fire to a minimum has not yet becus announced. The closing of the forests, through the issuance of permits, will, it is stated, be “revived this season. Last year the system produced | good results. 7 Lumber Product Exports From St. John: An interesting statement of the exports of lumber and lumber — products to the United States for the twelve months ending Decem- ber 31st, 1922, as compared with the figures for the previous year has been sent to the “Canada Lumberman” by Edward H.

He has been superannuated by the firm and was presented with a valuable gold watch, suitably in- scribed :—*To William Douglas from Gillies Bros., Limited, in appreciation of fifty- Six years co- peration, 1866-1922.” Mr. Doug- las fellow-employees at the same time gave him a smoking set and a gold-headed cane. Nu- merous friends of the veteran millman will, wish him many more years to enjoy the quiet and rest of peaceful old age, Mr. William Douglas, Braeside, Ont. Douglas has always-been a faith- ca. energetic servant, ever loyal to the company’s interests and never sparing himself in advancing its welfare. He was stalwart _and true and could be counted upon in any emergency, rising from a tail sawyer up through the various grades until he became superintendent of the splendid brick, steel and concrete, electrically- _ driven mill of Gillies Bros., the only one of its kind in Canada. His record is one that stands out prominently in an industry which : q » 7 : perhaps is characterized by more shifts and removals than many others. Mr, Douglas played his part and did it well and retires in the evening of life, conscious that he rendered good service and that his employers appreciate ‘his effective labor and devotion to duty. Converting Waste Material Into Wood Flour A machine, which is rapidly coming to the front in woodwork- ing plants, planing mills, etc., is the Stroud Air Separation Wood : ‘Pulverizer and the All- Metal. 100%, Efficient Dust Collector. The installation of equipment for converting sawdust, shavings, planer chips and other waste into wood meal and wood flour, is a progres- sive move. Several new features of the satisfactory disposal of the product are looming up daily. The equipment is made by E. H. Stroud & Co., 928-934 Fullerton Ave., Chicago, and it is announced that the installations are the result of attempts made for years in order to save the numerous materials now being lost. The Stroud Air Separation Pulverizer is a machine grinding “upon the attrition or beating principle, and separates successfully by air. It is pointed out that the pulverizer has no sieves or screens. ‘The bottom of the grinding chamber is closed and there is an air separation chamber above the grinding chamber, and also an exhatist fan on top. The machine receives its raw product through its automatic feeder in pieces of quite large size, if desired, and drives it around and around in its narrow rough grinding chamber with considerable force, making the lumps shatter each other to pieces and reducing them by one quick motion to. whatever mesh and fineness may be desired. The coarseness or fineness of the product is regulated by the strength, velocity and expansion of the current of air induced by the exhaust fan and by other ways that the air is used by the machine, which air also delivers the finished pro- duct through the fan. The Stroud Air Separation Pulverizer is for all sizes of dry grindable materials, and for some it carries 6% to 8% or sometimes “more moisture, thus often eliminating the use of a dryer. Wood flour and wood meal are “becoming more generally used _and form a base for phonograph records, mouldings, oatmeal wall- "paper, composition floors, artificial silk, artificial sausage casings, ~~ linoleums, terra cotta, porous brick and artificial mosaic flooring wood fibre peter floor sweeping compounds, and many ones 3 een — Some Lumber Camps Then and Now hi? have not let such things as this, writes Capt. Robert Dollar in. _the Nations Business, make me think that conditions and people getting worse instead of better. In many directions there are t improvements. One instance of this is the difference between better class of lumber camps and living conditions as I knew as a boy in the Canadian woods. [hen our stores consisted of fat salt pork in barrels, flour and CANADA LUMBERMAN a peas. A few years after I started beans were added to the list. Tea was supplied to anyone who wished to pay $1 a month for it. Occasionally a few sacks of potatoes were sent in before the cold weather came. No other vegetables of any kind were used. The result of this monotonous diet was that in the spring of the year we had men laid up with the disease called “black leg.” This is similar to the disease the Japanese and Chinese are afflicted with on board ships. It is called “berberi” and is caused by the constant use of rice. Another disease that attacked many of us before we sata get a change of food was what we called “night blind.” As soon as the sun set we would become totally blind until after sunrise. All those so afflicted would have to be back in camp before sunset or they would have to be led. Even a candle did not help out, as it gave no light to those afflicted. By eating small pieces of cheese or drinking milk a complete cure was effected within five or six days. A big box was kept in each camp, called, for short a “van,” properly “vanjouterie.” In it were the tobacco and necessary cloth- ing that might be required. Our complete line of medicine consisted of the following: Radway’s Ready Relief, salts, castor oil and stick- ing plaster. These were supposed to cure all the ilis that the lum- bermen of those days were afflicted with men were a strong, healthy lot, What a pity that employers should neglect the welfare of their men! It was to their own hurt, for men afflicted could not do the work that healthy men could do. Men in our camps nowadays are never troubled with “black leg” or “night blindness.” They are well fed, and with as good’a variety, as the people in our city homes. May Expropriate Land for Nurseries There was recently passed in the Ontario Legislature a bill to empower the Minister of Lands and Forests. to expropriate lands for nursery or reforestation purposes. Hon. Beniah Bowman, Min- ister of Lands and Forests, stated that the capacity of the Norfolk Nurseries had been doubled four times during the last year and that it was the intention of the Government to go ahead on a large scale. Premier Drury added. that the bill sought to bestow a very neces- sary power. The Government wanted nursery sites which were very hard to get, and once it became known that the provincial au- thorities desired certain properties, lands, which were next to worth- less assumed a very considerable value. The new bill would over- come this difficulty by enabling the Government to expropriate land for nursery or reforestation purposes.

Landry, chief operator in charge of the Quebec Lands and Forestry Department hydroplane station at Roberval, located on the higher levels of the Lake St. John district 167 miles north of the city of Quebec is at present working on his report in connection with air observation, survey and photogtaphy, carried on last summer in the Lake St John district and the north coast on the Nuskasquan River, 600 miles north of the base of Hydroplane station. This sta- tion was established in the summer of 1919 and good work done dur- ing this period to ascertain the status of the crown timber lands by air survey and observation, as well as photography of the areas to guide the forestry engineers in the work of land surveying. The biggest results achieved by Mr. Landry and his pilot and observation assistants were in the summer of 1922 when 2,400 verti- cal and oblique photographs were secured in the Lake St. John dis- trict over an area of 3,500 square miles explored, and on the north coast 3,750 miles explored. Some of the oblique photographs se- cured from the planes, 2,000 feet in the air, are submitted for visu- lization to the readers of the “Canada Lumberman.” They show the hydroplane station, the monastery conducted by the Trappist ‘Monks, twenty-seven miles north of Reberval, and a few photos of timber lands with the numerous lakes, as well as the areas passed over by forest fires in their origin, due to careless hunters after fur-bearing animals. The Provincial Government hydroplane station at Roberval is operated by a staff of sixteen employees under the direction of A. Landry, including four hydroplanes, the pilots, three observers, one photographer, mechanics -and riggers. The station is distinctly shown on the photograph with two of the hydroplanes plainly seen anchored in the water close by the station. Mr. Landry, is at the present engaged on his report for presenta- tion to the Minister of the Department of Lands and Forests. He says that fires have done a great deal of damage to virgin forests due to careless hunters but says the insect plague is infinitely worse in its work of destruction. The photographs he has taken show to the practical experienced eye of the lumbermen the conditions of the Crown land areas and the burnt as well as the poor timber sections and the young forest lands. Mr, Landry declares that his work is by no means finished; in fact it has only begun. No exploration as yet has been made in the Uganda or northeast of the Saguenay which, however, in time will be fully explored, and observations and photographs taken, vertical and oblique. The Lumber Cut in New Brunswick According to the latest word from the Crown Lands office in Fredericton, the lumber cut on crown lands throughout the Province of New Brunswick this winter will aggregate approximately 210,- 000,000 feet. The figures are being compiled by A. T. Murchie, chief scaler, and he estimates the total cut will be twice as large as that of last winter. While it is a fact that twice as much lumber will be cut this winter on crown lands thoughout the province as that of last season, the entire cut will not be much more than half that cut during 1921 and 1922, The average normal cut for this province is seven hundred millions. This year practically all of the big cuts have been made in the northern sections of Northumberland, Gloucester and Resti- gouche and along the St. John river, where ‘the vast majority of the crowu lands are situated. [from Northumberland county all the way south the cut has been very small in comparison, due to the One operator in the ecuthern section estimates that the total cut on private lands LUMBERMAN ee, t eS, —————s An official photograph taken by the Air Board at Lac la Loutre, 45 miles north of Rober- val, Chicoutimi County, Que. | will not exceed 100,000,000 feet. This we that the entire log harvest will be away below the normal cut. Some operators on private lands in the southern section have signified their intention of carrying on operations as soon as some of the snow ‘melts, providing that the bottom will permit. Doubt as to the advisability of this is expressed and as a result very little may be accomplished. Alexander Watson, well-known, retired lumber merchant, died recently at his home in St John. He is survived by his wife, one — daughter and two brothers. He conducted a lumber business for many years under the name of Alexander Watson, Ltd. A new record for lath cutting in the province was recently es- tablished at the mill of J. & A. Culligan at Culligan, Restigouche County, when one machine cut 73,000 No, 1 laths in ten hours. Starting from unknown causes fire destroyed the sash and door — factory of M. Bertrand at Masham Mills, Que., recently causing an — estimated loss of $50,000, only partly covered by insurance. Efforts — of the volunteer firemen to control the blaze were of no avail the plant being completely destroyed. Several thousand doors and win- dow frames and lumber piles were consumed by the flames. No effort will be spared this season by government officials in the Province of New Brunswick to increase activities for forest pro-— tection, The department of lands and mines has signified its in- — tention of extending its system to greater protect the forests from — fire and as a result the expenditure on this work will be quite heavy. — It is estimated that $75,000 will be necessary to carry out their pro-— gramme. It is expected that more look-out towers will be erected and the telephone system extended between these towers: One tower will be at Mount ‘Carleton on the head waters of the Tobique River and the other at the Narrows on the Nashwaak River. ; The advance of lumber prices in the American market is being — heralded with joy by shippers throughout the Province and from present indications it will not be long before this important industry will again be flourishing after years of hard and discouraging financ- ing. It is with satisfaction that all learned that their product, which last year only brought $32 a thousand is now being quoted at $45 and the supply is said to ibe meagre. One large Boston buyer while travelling through the province, said that it is almost impossible to get the quantities or the dimensions demanded. He said that there is no doubt that the cut of 1922-1923 will bring better quota-— tions than heretofore. As a result of this stated improvement lum- bermen in the province are not over anxious to sell their new cut in | advance and are holding back awaiting the best alter, which they J, figure will be forthcoming in a few months. : J. A. Gregory’s band re-sawing and planing mill in West St. John was recently destroyed by fire. The fire broke out in the mill and the structure was destroyed before it could be extinguished. Besides the building all of the machinery, which included a band saw and two planers, was destroyed and also a large quantity of ~ manufactured lumber. The loss was covered by insurance. This mill was operated by electricity and was working steadily. In con- versation with a correspondent of the “Canada Lumberman”_ the - owner, J. A. Gregory, announced sthat he has started re- building on u a temporary plan. Later on when an opportunity is afforded he will construct a much larger plant. \ aa io es TO are, ee Ee ee Fe — TR aa oe a eer re ay aes. ri - The Massachusetts Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association, at a recent meeting held in Boston, adopted official grading rules for _ Eastern spruce and hemlock. uniform survey and grading should apply to the New England States, Eastern Canada and the Maritime Provinces. _ adopted by the Massachusetts retailers, they had been approved by It is proposed that these rules for Prior to their being eastern wholesalers and manufacturers, and have now been submitted to the Director of Standards for Massachusetts, Major Francis Mere- “3 dith. The latter official, under a new state law, will call a hearing for the consideration of the tentative rules. serious opposition will be offered from any branch of the lumber industry, in fact, it is declared that the rules will become official and It is predicted that no put in force throughout the state in the near future. The regula- tions are set forth in plain, specific and direct terms and are easily comprehended. ‘A recent despatch from Boston says the Director of Standards believes that the working out of this problem by the state of Massa- chusettes, so far as eastern lumber is concerned, will be entirely acceptable to the Standardization Committees now laboring under the direction of Secretary Hoover of the U. S. Department of Com- merce. Eastern lumbermen are of the opinion that the matter of sizes, both rough and finished, should be left for the final decision of the national standardization authorities, The report of the joint committee is now before the Director _ of Standards for Massachusetts for final adjudication. The Proposed Official Grading Rules Herewith are attached rules for uniform survey and grading for Eastern pine and hemlock produced in the New England States, Eastern Canada and the Maritime Provinces, as recommended by the Joint Committee on Grading Rules. The preamble is as follows :— In preparing these rules the purpose for which each grade may be used has been considered in determining the number, size and position of the defects which it may contain 4 and still be satisfactory for the use intended. In considering and applying the following rules, the num- ber and extent of defects allowed are understood to be pro- portionate to their damaging effect upon stock under con- sideration. The grade shall in each case be determined by the num- ber, character and location of the defects visible in any piece. The description of grades following was intended to de- scribe the poorest piece that any grade may contain. Each grade is to include all lumber between the next higher and the next lower grades. All boards, either rough or dressed two sides, shall be surveyed on the best side to determine the grade. Those sur- faced on one side shall be surveyed on the dressed side. All lumber shall be surveyed and graded as to its full length and width unless so marked by the shipper as to indi- cate clearly that a portion of the measurement has been omit- ‘ted to allow for defects. In the measurement of all square edged lumber, frac- tions exactly on the one-half foot shall be given alternately to the buyer and seller; fractions below the one-half foot _____ Shall be dropped and those above one-half foot shall be count- ed to the next higher figure on the board rule. A piece tally in feet shall be made of all lumber measured. All lumber of standard grades and thicknesses shall be tallied face or _ surface measure and this tally shall be the number of feet, _ board measure, of one-inch lumber. If the lumber is thicker than one inch, one-quarter or one-half shall be added where _ the lumber is 1% and 1% inches thick. If the lumber is 2 “i inches or thicker, the Bomiee measure shall be multiplied by the thickness, All lumber less than one inch thick shall be tallied face measure. When strips or stock widths are meas- ured, a | tally showing widths and lengths must be made. 2: Defects = Recognized defects in eastern spruce, pine and hemlock | re knots, | ber from South America, but stop to think; realize that in the same ratio as the lumber supply and pulpwood decrease in the Republic to the south of us, the stumpage value of timber and pulpwood increases in Canada? Does he realize thai every dollar increase in ‘stumpage means an increase in logging operations, in milling, in marketing and finally this increase all along the line is passed up to him as “the heaviest consumer of wood. Furthermore, does he realize that in the not too far distance of ti is he will have to pay for inferior lumber as much as he i is paying tom day for clears and finish and uppers? Does he realize that by creating 126,000 acres of fire menace and dormant destruction in six months time, he lays up for himself as well as for the whole populace, his children and everybody else’s” children and grandchildren the seed of untold misery in the form of disaster, barren lands, too poor to harbour a coyote; in the forms of droughty dry seasons (a continuous fear of some reckless, brain- less fool setting the country afire), in the form of floods, destruction and desolation, and on the slopes of mountains and in valleys, he gets in the bargain snow avalanches and snowslides, destructive to human life, to livestock, to habitations and to fertile fielders The Sad Plight of Michigan Furthermore, do the farmers realize that with the green forests gone from the close vicinity of their farms, the chances of keeping the sons at home and on the farms are constantly, decreasing. Take the State of Michigan, for an example, from 1870 to 1900, Michigan | has had the lead in quantity, quality and value of timber exports. | During these 30 years of seemingly lasting prosperity the cry of unlimited timber resources resounded, mostly all of Michigan’s homes were built out of Muchigan’s cheap lumber, then on the market. To-day conditions have changed. The Hardwood Manu- facturers Association sent out a circular not so very long ago asking for information as to how to go about to keep the bush worker in the State, inquiring what had become of the older, more experienced — ones, and wondering why it is that the ‘bush workers do not settle down. The reason is not far to seek. The lumberjack has migrated with the mills to the Pacific Coast, where housebuilding is cheap, — where stands of timber give him an assurance of employment the whole year round and where he can get his wood and lumber at a reasonable price. To-day Michigan does not even supply its own need of telephone posts, of fence posts and railroad ties. A lot of the paper on which the daily news is printed is manufactured from ‘Canadian spruce. . It is manufactured from ‘Canadian Spruce, to be sure and ic is ¥ not imported from Canada. Oh no! Michigan’s freight bill on lumber imported from the Pacific Coast States is over 2,000,000 dol- lars a year. What will Eastern Canada’s freight bill be, when the © lumber comes from the far north and from the Pacific coast? And © if that supply fails and begins to peter out in the next 10 year or so, then we might import a little lumber from Russia and by so doing we might stabilize the rwbble. We might import some lum- sometimes nations do fall out amongst themselves and quarrel and fight, like families and members of a family. By all observations gained from the late war it is no easy matter to import lumber arn timber during wartime, as the other fellow may want that particular cargo a blamed sight” worse than we do. Why Not Put Land Back in Pine a Have the farmers of Canada ever stopped to think that pine land is not exactly the richest land, ‘as pines follow sand as sure as cedar follows swamps. After a half dozen successive plowings and _ cultivating and cropping to cereals, the sand begins to shift, how it flies and settles, in mounds, in ridges and in every geometrical figure. What is level to-day is a ridge tomorrow or a mound; in dry springs, seed gets blown out, one family quits, another family is optimistic or foolhardy enough to try and get the worst of the fight, the second family get broke, stone broke, and low and behold one fine day somebody realizes that it is a big job, a tremendous job to anchor down that quarter or half, or section, or township or perhaps quarter 7) or more of a county? Why not put it back into pine in the first 7 place? Why waste time and money on it? Surely we do not need a soil survey or a chemist to find out whether pine will grow, where) they have grown once before? No amount of urgency can hasten, no amount of! money can. shorten the time that is required to grow a saw log or a pulpw log. The mie, sawlog of to- re is gehen 250, and the a : 7 co : } ’ A ‘ spruce for pulpwood is about 100 years old. It is up to the forester to _match species, to the right .soil and hy helping here and there we can get along in a pinch, a pinch that! is coming as surely as day follows night and sunshine follows rain, with sawlogs 100. years _ ojd or less and with pulpwood that is from 30 to 50 years old. os Raising Timber or Giving Premiums Having most of the facts before us for some time, it remains only to decide whether we want to start raising timber, or whether we want to keep giving premiums with our export pulpwood, or whether it is better policy to turn this country into a barren, desolate, uninhabitable spot of God’s once wonderful creation, an everlasting accuser of man’s stupidity and cupidity, an everlasting accuser of _ the inefficiency of Governments, and everlasting repetition of the _ Biblical parable of Esau trading his birthright for a mess of pottage. ‘ — Conditions in New Brunswick Are Good mo A representative New Brunswick lumberman, in reviewing con- ditions generally in that province, in a recent letter to the ‘ ‘Canada -Lumberman,” says:— Of course, you understand there was very little done in the winter of 1921-22, therefore, the 1922-23 operations must be considerably increased. |! would judge that the total cut of lumber in the province will be 60% more than 1921-22 cut, but you must bear in mind that there was a. large quantity of logs carried over in the year 1921-22 'to be sawn up whereas, very few logs were carried over last fall, the parties sawing and realizing. With this fact in mind, I. would say that the general increase in the woods _ operations: this year is about 60% greater in the province, but there would not be over 35% of an increase on the Miramichi and the northern section. The Bathurst Company, Limited, is dsawing a large portion of its requirements from Quebec. The cut this year has been increased to some extent ‘by the de- sire to get as much bud worm killed stock cut as possible and a su- preme effort is ‘being made in this direction to cut it before it is at- _ tacked by the borer. +The English market does not look as encouraging as it did five or six weeks ago; in fact, we have considerable apprehension as to the benefit this market will be to us in the coming season. _ The American market, however, appears strong for anything that is now ready for shipping or will. be ready between now and the first of July, but very few American firms are willing to specu- late after that date. The cost of production in New Brunswick was increased owing to the very heavy snow storms. These also had an effect of cutting ‘¢ the production as in some portions of the province, particularly Kent and Westmorland, the parties had to withdraw from the “woods early in the season. There seems to be sufficient men to carry on the work that is contemplated but no excess. There has been no reduction in the past year in the cost of pro- visions; in fact, there might be said to be a slight increase. ; The car shortage has very much interferred with shipments in } ew Brunswick. Ocean Freights are still too high; 65 shillings be- ing asked to the British market. This should not exceed 50 shillings fo make it possible for trans-atlantic shipments. _ The car shortage is still existing and is most deterimental to busines The blame is put on the American roads but we think the Canadian roads should make provision to supply cars in the interests of trade shipping at the present time would bring gas a great deal money to the Canadian lumbermen. _ How New Brunswick’s Timber Decreases That New Brunswick’s timber supply during the past five years ig 8 been reduced by means of, the axe, fire and budworm five times bj fast as it is being grown, was one of the arresting statements made recently at the Rotary Club Luncheon in Fredericton, N. B., by Chief F orester G. H. Prince, of the Department of Lands and Mines, Mr. Prince stated that, the total estimate of dead lumber resulting from e depredations of the spruce budworm has been placed at between eight and nine billion feet. In 1921 the. statistics referred to showed 1,000 cords of wood had. been manufactured by New Brunswick's ulp mills, while the amount. exported in an “unmanufactured state 213,000 cords, .% ’ Demand for Canadian Spruce Abroad _ We do not appear to have made much progress during the past weeks in forward buying of spruce, and it would seem that the probable cause of this hesitancy on the part of buyers is the in ettled political ‘situation in Europe, says the “Timber fe as pe Caion. In the first nee France, Italy and yen ery nee see © bes - - iran CANADA LUMBERMAN 28 he ed a aes « many other countries are not able to absorb the goods we -were formerly accustomed to sell in that direction, and this tends to reduce very considerably the activities of the case trade, India, too, has not yet resumed buying cotton goods, and Lancashire suffers accordingly. These results are partly because of exchange depreciation, and also owing to the general lowering of the standard of living. In spite of the fact that cotton goods are beginning to find a market again, there is still a tremendous leeway to make up before anything approaching full time can be expected at the mills. Reports from woollen centres are more favorable, and there is a marked im- provement in iron and steel, shipbuilding and railroad requirements. The probability of a successful termination to the Turkish prob- lem is another factor that should help to restore the confidence and security which is essential to the building up of stable business. Under these conditions we are surely justified in maintaining that the prospects for next season are brighter than last. While considerable use is made of spruce on the West Coast of England and in Ireland for building purposes, there is not much outlet on the East Coast, and this is a matter of considerable sur- prise to our Canadian friends, who, living in a climate that contains many varieties and extremes, find their native spruce quite suitable for the job. Indeed, many examples can be found, in the smaller towns, of wooden houses, fifty to a hundred years old, and still occupied. The usual practice is to use a concrete foundation and build the frame on that, so that the spruce does not come in contact with the ground. Although the quantity of timber used in the construction of a house in this country is comparatively small, we cannot afford to overlook any opportunity to economise. Knowing, as we do, that Canadian spruce is used in other parts of this country for building purposes, and that there are no official restrictions against its use in the London district, it surely is at least deserving of a fair trial. Comparisons should only be made with the clean, sound, well- manufactured productions of the best Canadian mills, instead of re- calling the very poor Government stocks that were left lying around in Eastern Canada, and afterwards in this country, for years. Railway wagon stock is another direction where spruce, by reason of its toughness, can be used profitably. Sales from stock just now are steady, but not large, and prices are less than the cost of replacement. Pine is selling slowly, but the stock is decidedly low, is the prospect of fresh stocks at slightly lower prices. and there Brokers Selling Below Producing Costs One firm from the Cobalt district in Northern.Ontario says :—. “We increased our cut last year by about 25% and profits were bet- ter than the year before. Our stock is smaller than it was twelve months ago and our log output this winter will be considerably ahead of last season. The cost of production with us is about the same. The market price for lumber is up from $2 to $4, and To- ronto brokers have been selling below cost of production.” James Ludgate of the Schroeder Mills & Timber Co., Pakesley, Ont., snapped on a recent visit to one of the company’s camps after a big snow storm, \ “ 88 CANADA LUMBERMAN W hat the Lumber Trade is Doing in Canada Abel-Fortin, Paid, Montreal have obtained the contract for oF a interior trim and doors for the new Notre Dame Hospital, Montreal, 4 James A.

Q., will start work shortly on the erection of a sawmill. D. A. Downey & Co., of Drayton, Ont., are well-known builders and contractors and have been in the business for the last thirty years. They recently purchased the planing and sawmill of S. P. Treleaven, of Drayton, and are now in a position to manufacture everything required for building or construction purposes. Downey & Co. are also conducting a live retail lumber yard in Drayton. W. P. Clark, of Moorefield, Ont., who is well-known in that vicinity, has recently started a lumber business. He also operates a coal yard, and to round out his activities, is proprietor of a drug store. George McAllister & Sons, Limited, of Guelph, Ont., who are manufacturers of slack cooperage stock and lumber, had their saw- mill at Bloomingdale, Ont., wiped out by fire recently, The loss to the firm was about $10,000, which was almost half covered by in- surance. The company are rebuilding the mill and expect to be run- ning again in about four weeks. The New York State College of Forestry at Syracuse Univer- sity announces a Short Course in Dry Kiln Engineering to be given for the benefit of members of the lumber manufacturing industry. The course will begin March 27th and last until April 6th, inclusive. It is understood that the Dryden Paper Co., of Dryden, Ont., hopes to have an additional power plant and paper-making equip- ment in the near future when the concern will be in a position to improve its earning power considerably. 1922 was a fair year with the company, particularly the latter half but during the first few month the market for sulphate pulp, which is the chief product of the organization, was very. dull, Scandinavian pulp having ‘been competing in the United States market. William Bowman, formerly foreman of the woodworking depart- ment of Orillia Carriage Works, has started manufacturing truck and auto bodies in Galt. The new enterprise has secured sufficient orders to keep it busy for some time in the plant at the corner of Colburne and Water Sts. The planing mill of Stuart Bros., Hyde Park and Aberdeen Ave., Hamilton, was destroyed by fire recently causing an estimated dam- age to building and contents of $15,000. The owners expect to re- build at a convenient date. The Imperial Forestry Conference which will meet in Canada at the end of July next for six weeks of conference and investigation of Canada’s forest conditions, will introduce to this country many of the most successful conservators and forestry leaders of the British Empire, including Lord Lovat, (Chairman of the British Forestry Commission, who made a great ‘record as head of the forestry opera- tions in France during the Great War. An interesting address was recently delivered before the St. Mary’s Club in the Knights of Columbus Hall, Owen Sound, by James E. Keenan, of Keenan Bros., Limited. ‘Mr. Keenan’ s talk was most instructive and he advised the boys strongly to set a high standard of living and to prepare themselves for the duties that good citizenship involves. J. A. Gregory’s sawmill at Old Fort, West St. John, N. B., was completely destroyed by fire recently. It is thought that the blaze started in a motor which furnished power for the mill. A short cir- cuit is supposed to have been the cause. The replacement value of the mill is estimated at $12,000 and the building and contents were only partially covered by insurance. There was “considerable lumber piled near the structure but the damage to this was not heavy. ‘Mr. Gregory announces that the plant will be replaced as speedily as - possible. A bill has been introduced in the Ontario Legislature by Hon. seniah Bowman, Minister of Lands and Forests, to amend the Re- forestation Act of 1921. The amendment says that the Minister may, on behalf of the Crown, without the consent of the owner thereof, enter upon, take and expropriate any land in Ontario which the Mini- ster may deem necessary for reforestation purposes, and may lease, sell or otherwise dispose of the interests of the province in any land _thus leased, purchased or expropriated or the timber thereon. David Curtin, who died recently in Peterboro, lumbering business all his life, had been in the being woods manager for the Alfred McDonald Lumber Co., for the last eighteen years. The late Mr. Curtin was a respected and trustworthy employee and a man of strong personality. He j is survived by his wife, five sons and two daughters. He was born in Ennismore Tow mship sixty- nine years ago. L. L. Brown, of Toronto, B. C, Lumber Commissioner for Face ern Canada, and L, W. Walker, eastern representative of the Forest Products Market Extension Bureau of British Columbia, spent a few days recently in New York on business. , Jenings & Baily, who operate at Baptiste, in Hastings ‘County, Ont., state they are taking out 2,000,000 feet of logs this season con- sisting of pine, hemlock, spruce ‘and hardwoods. The firm add that mee has been a real winter for logging in their locality with just enough snow for hauling. The outlook in the lumber business seems to be more promising than it has been for some time and there is ap- parently a good demand for the better grades of hardwood.” Many inquiries have been received from the United States, while informa- tion in regard to dry softwood is also much sought after. About thirty per “cent more logs will be taken’out in and around Baptiste this season than a year ago, with wages 15 to 20% higher. Rules for Piling Lumber for Air Seasoning To Avoid Deterioration 1, Foundations (a) The foundations should be strong and durable. (b) The top of each foundation should be level; and from front to back the top surface of the parallel skids should be in alignment, so that the lumber to be piled will bear equally upon each one. (c) The first skid should be raised above the second and the second above the third to allow a slant to the stack of one inch to every foot. (d) The skids, preferably 2 by 4-in., should be spaced not over four feet apart, except for heavy planks and timbers. (e) The foundations should be of sufficient height to provide space for free circulation of air under all parts of the pile. 7x iene (a) Boards of equal length should, preferably, ie piled together. (b) The ends of the boards should rest upon the front and rear skids. (c) A space approximately 34-in. should be left between boards in the same layer when piling 1-in., 174-in-, and 174-in lumber; 2-in. for 2-in. and 2 Zain. lumber : and 3-in. for ma- terial 3-in. and up. (d) Lumber piled in the open should have the front ends of boards in each layer slightly protruding beyond the end of the layer beneath in orded to provide a forward pitch to the stack of 1-in. to each foot in height. 3. Stickers (a) Stickers should be surfaced two sides and should be 2-in. wide, of uniform thickness, preferably 7%-in. for 1-in. lumber and 1%-in. lumber. Their length should he a few inches in excess of the width of the pile. (b) Stickers should be placed upon the layer of boards immediately over the skids and kept in alignment parallel to the front of the pile. (c) The front and rear stickers should be flush with, or protrude beyond, the ends of the boards. 4. Roof Protection Cover boards, as a roof protection, should be laid on the top of the pile, extending a few inches beyond the front and rear of the stack: 5. Spacing Stacks Space between the piles should not be less than two feet and increased to four or five feet if yardage conditions allow. 6. Dimensions of Stack The customary width of the stacks is from four to eight feet. The height is governed by the size and the character of the lumber and the methods of moving it. t 7. Treated Ends ie ‘ Lumber 2)4-in. thick or over, unless of the lower grades, should have the ends treated with a brush treatment of paint or some liquid filler. 8. Ground Cover The ground occupied by lumber piles should be covered to a depth of at least 4-in. with cinders (not ashes). 3 _ . JI should like to pay my tribute to the great part that the lum- _ ber industry has played in the development of aviation in this coun- try. It is not too much to say that without the encouragement and practical support we have received from the industry throughout the country, Civil Aviation could have made little progress, during the _ past three years. This is not only true of the Government service, ing commercial field for aviation. The success of commercial avia- tion in this country will continue to be dependent in a large measure 3 on the support given it by lumbermen for some years. —. In European countries and the United States, Commercial Aviation. is endeavoring to develop mail, express and passenger ser- vices. In this country no effort has been made along these lines. It is felt that until success is achieved, in countries where the popula- tion is more dense, the need of such services more urgent and the ’ climatic and natural conditions easier, such services in this country can wait. Wei are fortunate, however, in having a great field for aviation in the remoter parts of the country where communications are now slow, uncertain and laborious, and travel is conducted by canoe and x pack pony, or dog train in winter time. No attempt has, therefore, _ been made in Canada to compete with the steamship, train or motor car. Almost the whole effort, and certainly the soundest part of it, has been to develop aerial transportation, for purposes where more efficient transportation methods are an urgent need. Until the time of the Armistice, aircraft were considered almost _ wholly from their military usefulness and even today many people consider them just as they would tanks, guns or torpedoes. Those who had watched development of aviation during the war and who were interested in the opening up of the vast areas in Canada beyond _ the railway belt, recognized the importance of the new form of _ transportation. They realized the great part aircraft could play in _ the hastening of this development. Fortunately, throughout almost t all this area, travel ‘by water is possible. It is a region of lakes and rivers. This makes the use of the flying boat possible and does away with the great bug-bear of providing landing grounds through- out the territory to be flown over. If this were not so, it would be practically impossible to contemplate the use of aircraft over much of our territory, as the cost of levelling and preparing landing _ grounds would be prohibitive. Foresters quickly realized the importance of aircraft in their operation and the assistance they could lend in controlling forces working over widely scattered areas, where communications were ey imperfect and slow. They perceived their value as an instrument _ for increasing the efficiency of their fire fighting forces and as a method of observation impossible to improve on, tie See - ema ape dx or The Inception of the Service The credit of undertaking the first experiment in this work lies __with the Laurentide Pulp and Paper Company and with Mr. Ellwood Wilson, Chief Forester, to whose initiative and energy aviation owes much. The Provincial Government of Quebec also shares in this credit. Recognizing its great possibilities, they supported the experi- ment with a substantial grant which made its execution feasible. _ Hon. C. C. Ballantyne then Minister of the Naval Service, and his _ Deputy Minister, Mr. Desbarats, in authorizing the loan of machines to carry out the experiment, never made a wiser decision, nor, | am sure, one on which they may look back on with greater satisfaction. During the summer and fall of 1919, two machines were opera- ted from Grand’Mere and the results obtained showed clearly the possibilities and encouraged those responsible for the experiment to make greater efforts during the following year. It also’ encouraged the Air Board, formed during that year, to set up similar units in 1920 to undertake forest fire prevention patrols and the exploration of the forest resources in the reserves under control of the Dominion Government. It also showéd the way to other commercial firms ‘Starting such services. In 1920, the Government authorized the Air Board to undertake lying operations and voted funds for the erection of stations in Bri- ish Columbia, Alberta and the Province of Quebec. The results tained in 1920 were most encouraging. In 1921 the service yas _ *Address delivered recently before the C.L.A, convention in Montreal, * but it is also true, perhaps in a greater degree, of the steadily grow- Abt CANADA LUMBERMAN 6 What Greater Use of Aircraft Means in Forest Survey Work, Fire Protection and Steady Development | of National Activities *By J. A. Wilson, Ottawa Secretary of Air Board further extended by the addition of units in Manitoba and Northern Ontario. The work in Quebec and Ontario was undertaken on re- payment’ for the Provincial Governments. This was not for the primary purpose of fire prevention, but rather for forestry survey and exploration work in regions of which little was known, but which were becoming rapidly important from a commercial point of view and regarding which definite information was required in order that the areas might be proved before they were thrown open to operations. At all stations except Camp Borden forestry work of one kind or another is the main basis of our work and, though many other subsidiary operations have ‘been undertaken with varying success, yet it is not too much to say that on our usefulness to the forestry service depends our success.: Wherein Its Usefulness Lies In the mobility of aircraft lies its usefulness to the forester and lumberman. Journeys which took days and sometimes weeks by the old methods of travel can now be done with ease, safety and comfort in an hour or two. It enables those responsible for the supervision of operations in the woods to oversee personally the work. The chief fire ranger can in time of emergency reach the scene of an out- break within an hour or two of its being reported and can see for himself the situation and organize his forces to meet it to the best advantage. The manager of the logging operations can visit logging camps in a day and see for himself the work under way and in a few hours the superintendent of the drives on the rivers can watch the progress and follow the drive over hundreds of miles of stream. In a few hours fire fighting equipment and parties can be transferred from point to point as required, with speed and certainty. Fire fighting parties can be maintained, fed and provisioned, and daily | reports on the progress of their work forwarded to Headquarters. All this changes completely the conditions of these operations and can be made to increase their efficiency tremendously by enabling closer supervision to be exercised. There is no intention on my part to maintain that fiying will A comprehensive view of virgin forest in France, taken by a Canadian soldier, and showing some of the tallest monarchs in that country / et 90 CANADA LUMBERMAN - ai ors k supercede any essential ground work now undertaken in the woods. Fire fighting must be done on the ground, but everyone will recog- nize the importance of early information on the outbreak of fire. An aerial patrol gives you this and enables you to put your force to work in the danger area with a speed and certainty that cannot be obtain- ed any other way. In new territory of which the maps are imperfect or perhaps non-existent, information can be obtained by survey from the air, by sketching, supplemented by photography, which it would take months, if not years, to obtain on the ground. The same way _ in timber cruising, the general situation can be seen at a glance from the air. The barrens and burned areas can be determined and the attention of the ground cruisers can thus be devoted entirely to the profitable areas. Sufficient progress has been made in the development of aerial photography to enable forest types to be clearly distinguished and preliminary cruising work, at least, may be done from the air with very much greater speed and with not less satisfactory results than from the ground. Cost of Aerial Fire Patrol As to costs, air transportation is a new development. During the war economy was no object and performance had to be achieved at any cost. The economical operation of aircraft was not studied to any extent before the Armistice. Since then very remarkable results have been achieved and the useful load per H.P. has been increased by at least 50 per cent, and in some cases, more than that. Constant research is being carried out to obtain greater efficiency from the new machines. Given a good load factor, men and ma- terial may be transferred at a speed of from sixty to eighty miles per hour, at a cost of about $1.00 a ton per mile. An efficient fire patrol service can be maintained, given a suitable area, at about $3.00 per square mile. These are conservative ‘figures based on the experience of three years operations by the Air Board and by com- mercial companies. As to safety, every aeroplane accident that occurs is featured in the newspapers. It has good news value. The useful everyday work of air transportation has none and very little space is given to it. This results in false impression as to the safety of air operations. _ The United States Air Mail covered in 1922 nearly two million miles and conveyed fifty million letters along the route between New York and San Francisco, with an efficiency of 94 per cent of trips completed, without a single fatal accident during the past year. On _ the European passenger and mail routes very similar conditions ob- tain. Services are carried out with clock work regularity. Machines cross the channel in weather when the steamers cannot leave port. _ Fog is the greatest difficulty and that is being overcome by the use of Directional Finding Wireless. The constantly growing traffic shows that the new form of transportation is gaining, slowly but surely, in the confidence of the public. This is natural. In fine weather no one who has travelled by air over this country would ever wish to travel by train, steamer or motor car. The smooth- ness, speed, the fascination of the constantly changing view, make travel by air most attractive. The only bug-bear is the noise and efforts are now being made to lessen this drawback and to silence _ aeroplane engines more effectively, , Makes the Careless Camper Think * There is one further point which is of importance, that is, the . moral effect of an aerial patrol on settlers and those travelling in the bush. From every source we have repeatedly been told that the mere presence of aircraft flying over a district brings home daily in a direct way the risks of fire and makes such people doubly careful. _ Supervision from the air makes the careless camper or settler feel he is being watched continually and his guilty conscience pricks him to advantage. The actual fire risk is indubitably less in a patrolled area. j 1922 was really the first season in which operations on a really commercial basis were undertaken. The work in 1920 and 1921 was largely experimental, but in 1922 enough had been learned to _ put the operations, both by commercial firms and by the Air Board, on a sound, practical basis. In Eastern Canada the services of the _ Laurentide Aerial Services, Ltd., Price Bros., and the Dayton Wright _ Company for the Spanish River Pulp and Paper Company have a record of useful work which is probably unequalled and certainly unsurpassed anywhere in the world. The approximate mileage _ flown by these companies is 70,000, the area covered by fire patrols approximately 25,000 square miles and the area surveyed from the air, by sketching or photography, about 20,000 square miles. This is a record of which the infant industry may well be proud. It shows clearly the success of practical operations of this kind and _ gives promise of great development in the future. The pioneer work of these firms is bringing its own reward-and inquiries are being received every day from numerous sources regarding the possibili- ties of extending this work into new districts, The Air Force has not been idle. It has carried out much — work for the Provincial Governments of Ontario and Quebec on repayment basis. For the former, daily fire patrols during the sea- _ son of hazard over about 12,000 square miles south of the Ottawa — River, Lake Nipissing and the French River, and for the Quebec ~ Government, forest survey, mapping and type sketching from Roberval in the areas lying north and west of Lake St, John, and © along the Natashquan and St. Margaret’s Rivers on the north sho e of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. . ._ Work Carried Out By Air Force ‘a From Vancouver Station 177 hours flying have been done for forestry work of different kinds, including transportation of parties — investigating the white pine blister rust situation, forest fire patrols | for the Provincial Government, the carriage of men and equipment to the scene of fires in inaccessible districts, reconnaissance of the damage done by fires and other similar work. ABIES At High River, a total of 907 hours flying was carried out for the forestry branch. A great portion of this was the daily fire patrol system in the forest reserves on the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains. The extension of these patrols to the forest areas in the National Park is now under consideration. In Manitoba 308 hours flying was carried out for the forest service from the main base at Victoria Beach on the south end of Lake Winnipeg and from sub-bases at Norway House at the north end and Le Pas on the Saskatchewan River. 7 Out of a total of 2,622 hours flying on all civil governmen operations, about 2,000 hours or 75 per cent was for forestry pur- poses. The remainder consisted of operations for aerial photography, the transportation of survey parties of reconnaissance of unknown and inaccessible districts prior to their survey, patrols for the pre- vention of drug smuggling and other similar transportation work. The operations next in importance to the forestry work are those of the survey services. These also are of value to your As- sociation, which is directly interested in having reliable maps of the districts in which they operate. The mapping of a country such as Canada is an immense task and if, by the use of aircraft, this task can be assisted and the work extended, the members of your Asso- ciation will Lenefit together with the rest of the country. Most interesting work is now being undertaken by the survey services for the development of methods of aerial photography, which will enable pictures taken from the air to be used for mapping purposes. Important progress has already been made. It shows that areas of which the maps are at present incomplete and in somes cases prac- tically non-existent may be surveyed to much better purpose, with surer results and with a great saving of time by the assistance of aerial photography. It is not too much to say that in a country where the differences of elevation are not too great, given a mini- mum of ground control, a map may be made which will be accurate and complete, in much less time and at a saving in cost by the help of aircraft. ; va. ee. a S rs Mapping of Country by Aircraft. The importance to your Association of building up an aircraft industry should not be neglected. Canada is the chief source of the spruce used for aeroplane construction. Attempts are being made to produce all metal aircraft. These will probably be successful for certain types, ‘but there is no doubt that wood will continue to be used in the construction of aircraft. During the war a flourishing little industry was created in Canada. Efforts are now being made to re-establish it and already a start has been made in this city to undertake the construction of aircraft. There is no reason why a flourishing industry should not result as time goes on. ‘Those in- terested may rest assured that the Government will support an aircraft industry in Canada by every possible means in their power. .Tenders are now under consideration for a number of new machines and firms bidding on Canadian made machines will certainly receive preference, provided they can guarantee satisfactory work. — The demand for plywood and veneers in the aircraft industry is considerable and will grow. It is interesting to note that since the Air Board commenced buying plywood in Canada, a very great improvement of the quality of the supplies available has been made. The Canadian manufacturers, by using our specifications, are now turning out an article equal to that produced anywhere in the world. There is a ready market for this material and I hope that the manu- facturers will take advantage of it to the greatest possible extent. 4 4 « | Most people underestimate the value of a woodlot. A New York man who made a planting of white pine has been offered $500 an acre for the timber on the stump. Under favorable conditions an acre of white pine will average a growth of one thousand feet a year, which is not bad when it is remembered the trees will grow on other- wise father unprofitable land. eit Pee ar re fe igh iva fy f =. . bh | | | | e 7 y % ‘ A id i, le ra cae : & ee a Ad Bo) SV se oe eras eee ne ea mh ea ee ny aD Me CANADA LUMBERMAN ¥ Interesting News Regarding the Industry Twenty-three industries have been launched at Peterboro, Ont., during the past four years, among them being the Canadian Nashua Paper Co., manufacturers of gummed and coated papers, the Peter- boro Paper Box Co., makers of paper boxes, and the Purdy Lumber Co. In regard to pulpwood prospects in New Brunswick, a well- known operator says that little if any wood is ever cut or made in the winter season. Pulpwood in the province is cut and peeled in the peeling season, starting about May Ist and continuing for three or four months. It is, therefore, too early to say whether there will be an increased production this year or not. This will depend altogether on the demand, especially from the American mills. It is reported that large stocks are being held by some of the news- print mills this season, and whether the active requisition expected will materialize or not, cannot be definitly predicted. English newspaper interests are reported to be negotiating for the purchase of some of the Riordon Company timber tracts, accord- ing to a despatch from Boston. These interests, among whom are mentioned the London Times, would be prepared to operate a large mill here if the purchase was made, according to the report. Riordon bonds, at present in default of interest, would be provided for in the deal. It is understood the Riordon Company refused an option to the English interests on certain lands. No decision has yet been reached on the Abitibi River power question. For some time past the Hollinger Mines Corporation has ‘been trying to get a lease to develop power at Island Portage on the Abitibi River. Recently F. H. Anson, president of the Abitibi Com- pany, and representatives of various companies met Premier Drury, Hon. Beniah Bowman and other members of the Cabinet to try and reach a solution of the question. It is understood that the latest prior rights of other companies on the Abitibi need to be smoothed out by mutual arrangement. The first eighty-ton unit of the new Backus Brooks Company’s pulp mill started operations in Kenora, Ont., recently. One side of the plant was started and is running nicely. ‘This is now being tried out, and in the meantime the other side is being rapidly connected up. The plant is so designed that either half can be run indepen- dently of the other, so that in case of accidents or wear when repairs are required, production may be continuous. It is expected that in a few days both sides will be in full operation. This is the begin- ning of production which it is confidently stated will ultimately be a thousand tons per day. This, of course, will take time to develop. Bird & Son, whose mills are at Pont Rouge, Que., and head _ office in Hamilton, turn out about 35 tons daily of prepared felt roof- ing. They have had a very successful year in spite of reductions made in the price of the company’s product. Orders on hand are now ahead of the corresponding period of last year. Net profits y after depreciation and taxes were taken care of were $82,479. Dividends on the new issue of 7 per cent. cumulative preferred stock for the last six months of the year were $14,000. The statement of assets and liabilities shows capital assets valued at $799,875. Against ‘this amount there is a depreciation re- serve amounting to $208,138. Current assets at $454,796 compare with current liabilities amounting to $120,248. Inventories are car- vied at $276,945, and bills receivable at $150,189. Accounts payable _ total $72,580. A further item not included in the accounts payable, _ total represents bank loans amounting to $30,000.

M. Irvine, of Montreal, chairman of the Executive Commit- tee, announces the resignation of J. E. A. Dubuc from the Com- mittee of Management and the Board of the Bay Sulphite Co., of Port Alfred, Que. It is understood that Mr. Dubuc has also with- diawn from the Committee of Management of the Saguenay Pulp & Power Co. Mr. Dubuc’s resignation, it is presumed, is the result of ill-health, and it is believed that he will shortly leave for an ex- tended holiday in France. The necessity of his withdrawal from active participation in the business of the Saguenay Pulp & Power Co, and other interests in the province of Quebec, will be largely regretted. Mr, Dubuc is chiefly identified with the Chicoutimi Pulp Co., of which he is the founder, and with which he has been closely associated for twenty-two years. Its development to its present position as the largest producer of ground wood pulp in the world is largely the result of his energy and foresight. The hearing of witnesses in connection with the assessment dispute between the E. B. Eddy Co., Limited, and the city of Hull, took place recently before three experts. Final judgment or pre- paration of the report of the experts was delayed and when com- pleted will be presented to the judge of the Circuit Court. ‘The matter in dispute was taken some time ago by the Eddy Company, who appealed against the assessment levied of $7,300,000 on its pro- perty and plant which was made by the city assessor. Recently another group of Riordon Company timber limits were sold, which have brought the total sales during the past year or so up to 15,000 square miles. The company has had a return of about — $2,500,000 from the disposition of all of these limits. 500 miles of hardwood limits on the Nation River, Que., were, it is reported, sold to the Singer Sewing Machine Co. at $500,000. The Singer Com- pany has a plant at St, Johns, Que., where considerable hardwood is consumed. It is understood that the waterpower rights were not disposed of. A number of timber berths were recently sold at the Crown Land Office in Fredericton, N.B. One timber license for two square miles on the eastern side of the north west Miramichi River near the mouth of the Little Southwest Miramichi River, went to James Walsh at an upset price of $20 a square mile. Another tim- ber license for two square miles west of Pleasant Ridge Settlement, parish of Rogerville, county of Northumberland, was sold to W. F. Comeau at an upset price of $20 a square mile. One hundred acres at Glenlivet, Restigouche County, applied for by John Wesley Mc- Donald, were sold to Hugh A. Carr at $2 an acre. This was the only sale in. which there was competition.

A large volume of business is passing with prices tending upwards. Some firms have a number of orders which they are unable to fill, partly because of the difficulty of securing stock and partly on account of the shortage of cars. ‘Lhe situation 1s regard to the latter is serious, the more so as many orders are for American account. The railways are not willing to allow Canadian cars to cross the border owing to the delay which occurs in their return. While the companies are, no doubt, justified in their policy, it consider- ably handicaps the lumber trade. American firms are placing orders very freely, business coming from points which do not usually’ buy in the Montreal market. Manufacturers are receiving a large number of inquiries for the new cut. One company with a very extensive production states that the inquiries are surprising, ranging from carloads to the entire cut. Another manufactuser, who recently acquited a limit, reports that he has received numerous letters as to the cut of hardwoods and softwoods. These inquiries may be rega:ded as evidence of confid- ence in the immediate future of the market, both as to the volume of business and prices. : The hardwood market is very firm with some of the characteris- tics of the spruce section—activity, advancing prices and inability to obtain all the stock required. Lath is on a stronger basis, and a considerable amount of busi- ness is being done. Trade in B. C. forest products is moderate, but it is restricted not only by the high prices but by the difficulty of obtaining prompt shipment. ? Prospects for the building season are favorable. Some very ex- tensive enterprises connected with the lumber and pulp and paper industries will be carried out this year. These include the St. John Lake dam and other work for the Quebec Development Company, in which Price Bros., are interested, and the damming of the Chicou- timi and Sable Rivers, which will supply water to Price Bros. and the Chicoutimi Pulp & Paper Company. In Montreal some huge office buildings are to be erected, while there is also a substantial programme of construction in other directions. There is an increased demand for pulpwood, with prices strength- ening. During January Canada exported 133,328 cords, of a value of $1,195,886, compared with 66,094 cords, valued at $696,943 in the corresponding month last year. For the ten months of the fiscal year the exports were 883,139 cords, valued at $8,906,091, as against 630,540 cords and $7,926,536 in the corresponding period of 1921-22. Market in Ontario is Strong and Active Conditions in the lumber line remain encouraging, and in spite of the handicap in shipping stock to the United States caused by em- bargoes at many points, trade is, on the whole, very satisfactory. Several large sales of white pine cuts for the coming season have been made during the past few days at an advance all the from $5 to $7 on what was paid for similar stock last year. Hemlock prices are also commanding considerably more than they did a year ago, and while the increase of $6 and $7 on mill run may seem a little high in some cases, manufacturers point out that it will cost them a deal more to produce their stock this year. Wages in the bush were considerably above those of the winter of 1921-2, and at the be- ginning of the season men were inefficient and restless. Then again, it is expected that there will be an advance in the wages of ordinary mill labor this spring of, perhaps, 10 per cent, which will also run up the cost of production. There is a great scarcity at the present time of 2 x 4, 2 x 8, 2 x 10, and 2 x 12 dimension, 10 and 16 feet lengths, in jack pine, spruce and Wide In the meantime all the mills are making preparation for an early start, and if the spring _ break-up continues as gradual and satisfactory as was the case dur- ing the first few weeks in March, all plants should have an aus- pisious, opening. There is a great shortage of lath at the present time and the American demand is keen. The call is for spruce lath from the east and there has been a jump in values all along the line. It is expected that the market this spring will be particularly active in view of spring building indications and the favorable trade outlook. Review of Current Trade Conditions | The chief difficulty with wholesale Inmbermen at the present” time is securing stock. It is no trouble to dispose of material at a satisfactory figure; the problem is where to lay hands upon it. It is believed that the lumber business for the first few mont of this year will be exceptionally active and that the cut for 19 will break all records of the last three or four years. Everything be- tokens an expansion of production and confidence in the future. Sup- ply and sawmill equipment firms are very busy, and several mills, which have been burned, are being rebuilt, all of which is an unmis- takable omen of returning prosperity. ; The industrial situation in Canada is not yet active but it is im- proving steadily and the domestic market in hardwoods which for a long period has been limited and listless, is expected to take on new ~ activities during the coming few weeks. In maple, birch, elm and ~ basswood, while there is no frenzied buying, the general demand is — good and the advanced prices in many instances are being readily — paid. Owners of small stocks are holding out for more money and say they will get it too. e In the meantime the outlook for the future is enlivening and everything betokens a large car business in all kinds of wood. The | one danger is that of a runaway market before the new cut comes on the arena. It is predicted by some wholesalers that considerable ma- terial will be sold green from the saw, so pronounced will be the scarcity in certain lines of lumber. 7 One leading operator stated the other day that if values went too high, the whole market would be upset very suddenly as people were nervous now about large or new undertakings. A disturbing factor was apt to be greatly magnified, and the results would be deteriment- — al to all concerned. Stability and confidence were requisites that should characterize production, sales and distribution, and any un- — propitious influence affecting the situation would only tend to com- plicate matters and mar what otherwise is likely to be an excellent year in the lumber business. Ottawa Reports Good Movement of Stocks. An improvement in the Ottawa lumber market, especially in regard to the movement of stocks for the domestic trade which were bought and paid for at the end of last year or early in 1923, marked the Ottawa lumber market, during the early period of March. Price advances ranging from one to twenty-five dollars per M feet took place in some lines, the largest increase being in good pine shorts, one and one-quarter inch and one and one-half inch, and two inch stock. The increase was attributed to the demand for these stocks as compared with the existing supplies: Several of the Ottawa valley companies report that, during the last few weeks, orders had come through notifying them to ship stocks which were bought and paid for late last year or early this © year. In addition there was also several good orders received for — stocks other than those which had been previously ordered. The demand as reflected by orders called for a general run of stocks from the best to the lowest grades, which was the kind of a market that the Ottawa lumber dealers have been awaiting. The view taken that such a demand confirmed previous operations that — the spring and summer is going to be a good business period for the lumbermen. ; , a The demand from the American yards did not show much fluc- tuation as compared with the early part of the month. The embar- — goes on entry points were reported to be as stiff, if not stiffer, than — they had been. In addition to the embargoes, severe winter weather — and heavy snow falls in the eastern states crippled shipping activi- — ties, and the view was held at Ottawa. that prospects of good rail — shipping to the American yards would not materialize until such time as the motive power equipment of the railways improved, and the snow congested tracks had been thawed or melted out. > The heavy snow in February, Ottawa lumbermen believed, would eventually result in a considerable reduction of the log output in the Eastern Townships. ‘These snow, falls, however, were not as _ heavy in the (Ottawa valley district and reports were that the \ weather for log making and hauling had been the best for many years, The lumbermen look forward to a particularly large cut, and feel that given an even break, with the waters of the Ottawa river behaving anything like normal, that a large percentage of the logs” will get to the mills and that the 1923 sawmill cut will be a large one. The labor situation in the woods camps improved consideral | CANADA LUMBERMAN 97 A eineenaitahene otek rmatyesnreipmmnenre Ete St Is ont tc yh Bi Reni ate Sate LEH PAI IY OF MRE A PTT LOSS AT HO ES EE nr Poteer: Pog he. 5 Op ape taatins Sip nthe : FEI OTL ILO DD. bgt) heise) Saree isk ope Be a) tae A ge ORD eo pe View of Mills in Sarnia “On Time” Delivery Getting the goods delivered ON TIME is just as important as being able to produce them—and we make a specialty of both.

Following the tradi- tion of years, lumbermen expect, this year that the members of te winter gang will come out of the bush to the cities on March 22 which the woodsmen claim is the day on which spring commences. Already gangs for the spring work are being collected, and no short- age of labor for the drive or the later woods operations is feared. Conditions with the woodworking plants and factories did not show a great deal of change. Several plants reported being fairly busy, being chiefly occupied in manufacturing stock or dressing rough lumber in transit, New Work Shows Exceptional Volume Spring will soon be here, and, in more pressing form than ever, the question of taking long delayed construction projects in hand. For municipalities with public utility extensions to instal, for busi- ness houses with office and manufacturing expansions in contempla- tion, and perhaps most of all for private apartment house dwellers and rent payers, who have long dreamed of a certain little house of their own—for all of these the problem is—Build now or await further possible declines in costs? In reply to which a majority of considerations seem to suggest an affirmative answer. It is apparent that the great drop in construction costs is over and those who wish to build may do so in 1923 without fear of loss through the shrinkage of existing values incidental to rapid price deflation. Labor has settled down to a sound basis of production, and the flow of money into building channels is rapidly increasing. a > * this year. _ tained in the St. Lawrence and James Bay areas. Many of the big projects underway have been undertaken only after the investor has come to realize that the major conditions in the building field are now favorable. There is much wisdom in the advice being given at the present juncture by architects to their prospective clients—‘“Build now and avoid the rush.” Pronounced activity in the coming season is forecasted by the February figures of contemplated new work reported by MacLean Building Reports, Limited. The value of proposed work reported for the first time in February was $41,231,400 compared with $36,714,- 600 in January. These figures serve as a basis for accurately judg- ing the value of contracts to be let a few months hence. During February, construction contracts actually awarded in Canada amounted to $13,311,800 compared with $10,718,300 in February, 1922. Residential building accounted for 21.4% of the February total and amounted to $2,854,000. Business building amounted to $6,368,800 or 47.9% ; industrial building, $2,997,500 or 22.5% ; public works and utilities, $1,096,500 or 8.2%. Building Starts Of Well This Year Building permits issued in Toronto for the first two months of 1923 total over $3,500,000. The January and February totals of 1922, it- self the record year of Toronto’s history, have both been surpassed and indications are that a new building record will be established With the close of its books recently the department recorded a total of $2,127,725 of building ‘construction authorized during Feb- ruary. This is an increase of $419,725 over the $1,708,000 mark of Febraury, 1922. The total for January of this year was $1,518,919, making the total for the two months $3,646,644. Timber and Water Resources of Quebec A comprehensive treatise has been prepared by R. O. Stweezy, technical forestry engineer, on the subject “Timber Lands and Waz- ter Powers of Quebec in Relation to the Pulp and Paper Industry.” Mr. Sweezy estimates the spruce, balsam and jack pine content of Quebec province at 280,000,000 cords, divided into 185,000,000 cords in the St Lawrence Valley: 75,000,000 on the James Bay slope; and 20,009,000 in Ungava, Labrador, and Hudson’s Bay. He also esti- mates pine at 2 3/4 billion feet; hard woods 5 billion feet; and pop- lar 35,000,000 cords. The pine, hard woods and poplar are all con- After déaling with timber contents and areas, Mr. Sweezy turns to the pulp and paper industry of the province, in which connection he states that it is safe to say that the annual growth of the forests—containing 280,000,000 _ cords of standing pulpwood, would average 2 to 3 per cent, being ap- proximately 5% million cords a year. The amount of pulpwood ex- ported annually from Quebec forests is 700,000 cords. In addition there is exported'to Ontario and New Brunswick from Quebec Crown forests about 300,000 cords a year, and Quebec pulp and paper mills consume 1,350,000 cords a year on a daily production of 500 tons of sulphate pulp; 800 of ground wood; 425 kraft pulp and paper; 1,300 news print paper—a total of saleable products of 3,025 tons. “Thus,” he finds, “the province’s forest supply annually 2,400,000 cords off pulpwood. Large as this quantity is, it represents less than half of what the forests can supply under scientific management. As the lum- ber industry consumes a large quantity of spruce and balsam there is” a corresponding reduction of land available for pulp and paper. Hence it is doubtful if the present output of the latter can safely be increased to much more than 6,000 tons a day. It might be possible, however, to considerably increase‘the allowed annual increment of only 2 per cent. In fact, there is no doubt but that 3 per cent at lea ast is possible but the big disturbing factors are of course improper operation and forest fires.” Mr. Sweezy assumes, therefore, th there is no doubt that the industry in the provinces is bound. to pand, and thus turns to the logical places where this expansion \ take place. He points to the “Quinze watershed, the Gatineau, Saguenay, and the Manicouagan. He also assumes that if further. expansion takes place in sulphite pulp production “it should be on — the Gaspe peninsula. Shawinigan Power conditions offer facilities for further expansion at Three Rivers, but as some of the St, Maurice forests are already over-operated, any new mills at that point will — have to look to the Lower St. Lawrence. An Important Ruling on Demurrage A judgment of importance to shippers of freight ‘by rail, as well as to the Canadian railways, was handed down by Mr. Justice ‘Audette, in the Exchequer Court in the case of the King vs. Frank A. Gillis Company, of Halifax, N. S., being the first given in Canada determ-_ ining the conditions under which a railway is entitled to charge de- | murrage. Mr. Justice Audette, in giving judgment in favor of the plaintifts, finds that a railway is entitled to charge demurrage after — a car has been available for unloading by the consignees, from a pro- per and reasonable team track, for a period of 48 hours. “It is not necessary thereafter for a railway company to keep the car on a team track to enable it to claim demurrage, and the consignee has no right to ask the railway company to keep his car indefinitely upon a team track, thus paralyzing the business of the railway company’ Appeal of Lumber Company Rejected Judgment was confirmed recently in Montreal by the Court of Appeal in the case of La Camippagnie a Bois Bedard and the Eagle Lumber Company, Limited, Montreal. The appellant sold to the respondent 2,500,000 feet of wood at $41 per 1,000 feet, to be delivered in cars. se was agreed that pay- ment should be made by respondent within thirty days of delivery, with a discount of two per cent, In the month of December, 1920, there was a large quantity of wood undelivered ina corner of the ap- pellant’s yard. It was piled up and neither checked nor measured. During that month appellant made a rough estimate of the quantity of wood, placing the figures at 452,910 feet. An employee of the respondent also made an estimate and it seemed that these estimates were not to be considered binding, as the lumber was to be measur- ed when loaded in cars for shipment. Nevertheless, a bill pro forma for $17,000 was accepted and paid by the respondent, who placed its name on all the piles of lumber. After several shipments, appellant considered the first estimate was not exact, and submitted there was more wood in its yard than had at first been thought. Appellant said the quantity of lumber — was again estimated, and then it was found there were, in the name of the respondent 200 000 feet of lumber more than had been first estimated. Things remained in that State until June, 1921, when the dp pele lant’s saw mill and lumber in the yard were destroyed Diya, Lines Thereupon, appellant claimed from respondent the sum of $7,977.80, being the balance of the price of sale due if respondent was held — to pay according to the estimate made BY appellant. ‘The claim was dismissed by the trial judge.

All ash is removed by stoking grate at the bottom of furnace. N77 All fuel sliding down the incline grates comes in contact with a special draft action, owing to the horizontal air spacing, through the incline grates on either side, the draft currents arrive at a focus of combustion in the centre of the furnace, causing the gases and flame to meet and roll towards the edges of dry plates, thus increasing the drying capacity, and thoroughly drying tan bark or fuel which is being burnt.

Take the Fast Feed Expansion Matcher Head (with 12 High Speed Bits) for instance, and note how this efficiency and econ- omy is the direct result of scientifically correct construction. The head is built heavy where the strain is greatest, and being devoid of all angles or openings, the wind resistance is lessened, and it cannot block with shavings. The straight knives are long, which assures greater service, while the circular knives can be set back and the straight knives jointed. In this way, the whole width of the straight knives can be jointed at one setting. The circular cutter is then brought to its proper position. Let Shimer heads reduce your costs.

(Continued on page 124) } AIG tt sme CANADA LUMBERMAN 121 Linn Logging Tractor on operation of St. Maurice Paper Co., at St. Donat de Montcalm, Que. THE LINN LOGGING TRACTOR The wonderful performances by the Linn Logging Tractors in operation on the limits of vari- ous Quebec and Ontario operations, have, so far, been witnessed by a great many interested op- . erators. On February 15th, an operation in the Laurentians (that of the St. Maurice-Paper-Company Limited), where two Linn Logging Tractors are operating, was visited by two representatives of an operator who has used tractors for several years and who has probably had the greatest experi- ence in continuous tractor operation than any other Canadian operator: As a result of this visit, . and the wonderful performance they witnessed, they have just placed their initial order for a Linn Logging Tractor, for immediate delivery, although they will have but twenty-five hauling days in ha which to use it—but with the Linn in their operation they will feel assured that they will get all their logs out. Asa result of their long tractor experience, the wonderful power and economy and reliability of the Linn is perhaps more evident than to an operator heretofore unused to Tractor haulage. The end of the haul is fast approaching. A visit to a Linn operation will be valuable to you— and—no matter where you are operating, you have not far to travel to see a Linn in operation. —Logging Department— MUSSENS LIMITED Dubrule Building Philips Place Montreal és . es.

They are consistent with our policy of offering to the industry the most modern and efficient equipment practical experts can advise. It is this policy which has kept the name “LON GQ” in the van of new developments and made it a guarantee of all that is best in sawmill machinery. THE “LONG” BAND MILL Columns of full hollow box section, joined at the bottom. Very sen- sitive, floating tension. Tension mechanism fully enclosed—easily accessible. Guides swing on centre line of saw. Blocks adjustable in all directions. Quick opening, non-breakable pat- tern. Upper and lower bearings the same size and interchangeable. Chain oiling, water cooled, adjust- able in all directions. Protected steam cylinder to oper- ate upper guide. Dake engine to handle upper wheel. “LONG” LUMBER EQUIPMENT Saw Frames Band and Circular Resaws Slashers Shingle Machinery Trimmers Transmission Machinery Edgers Lath Bolters Lath Machines Lath Binders and Trimmers Log Kicker Log Loaders, Steam Log Turners Write for It Today a 1e Ek. Long Manufacturing Co., Limited Orillia | Canada A. R. Williams Machinery Co., Gormans, Ltd. Calgary and Edmonton Vancouver and Winnipeg Williams & Wilson, Ltd., Montreal CANADA LUMBERMAN tie is the setter. The handling of large logs calls for great | muscular effort on his part, while his work on the smaller | logs is almost equally laborious, as he has to put through a much larger number of them. St Every cut makes necessary a new adjustment of the log, eam which, in the absence of our Steam Set Works, is accomp- . lished by a long throw of the hand lever. Before the end d of his day’s labor, the setter is usually exhausted. In many N | t The hardest worked employee in the ordinary Saw Mill | ) mills, the setter, because of the fatiguing nature of his duties, is not required to work for as many hours per day as the other employees. All this is changed by our Steam Set Works, making the labor of the setter so much less arduous that he can do a our full day’s work. He 1s also enabled to set logs more quickly, thus increasing the number of cuts that can be made ina given time; and the lumber produced is materially improved e in quality and regularity. Instead of the sawyer being kept vy ettin waiting for the setter—the usual condition in ordinary saw | mills—the reverse is true, and the setter is usually waiting | for the sawyer. | It goes without saying that the main purpose of a sawmill is to produce as much good lumber as possible, at a minimum cost. As the cutting capacity of the mill depends mainly on the speed with which the logs are handled, the import- ance of an appliance which will shorten the time required to move logs into pos- ition for the next cut, is apparent. The considerable saving of time effected by the use of these Set Works, together with the greater exactness in the thickness of the lumber thus ob- | tained, accounts for the rapid | adoption of this machine by mill | men. on WHY NOT WRITE FOR INFORMATION NOW? ff "BRANTFORD, ON TARIO.

CANADA LUMBERMAN BUY BRITISH COLUMBIA ed Cedar Shingiam The life of a British Columbia Red Cedar Shin gle Roof can almost be gauged by the life of the nail with which the shingle is nailed in place. Judging from available data, the average life of the ordinary steel wire nail, which has been in such common use, is only from seven to twelve years. Some wire nails will last longer, depending upon the condition of exposure, climate and similar features, but considering our climate as a whole, at the end of from seven to twelve years a large percentage of wire nails will have rusted either completely through or so extensively that the first strong wind will complete the work. The shingles that have been held in position by such nails are then free to work down, permitting rains or melting snows to leak through and damage the interior of the structure. Examination will disclose that the fibre of the shingle itself is still in perfect condition, and a leaky roof, in the majority of occasions is due entirely to the use of faulty nails, but the average home owner, placed at such inconvenience, will not stop to reason this out and the poor wooden shingle comes in for more unjust abuse. There are several kinds of nails which experience has proven will give lasting satisfaction, and the wise dealer will advise his customers of these satisfactory nails. A pure zinc shingle nail meets all the demands of durability required. Its principal drawback is its high cost and 2 slight tendency to bend under careless driving. Galvanized wire nails theoretically are rust proof, and if the galvanized coating is properly applied, and of sufficient thickness, such a nail will last as long as the shingle it holds in place. The life of this shingle roof, properly applied with these nails then is from 40 to 50 years. Pure iron nails, or the old cut or wrought nails are ideal but difficult to secure. Copper nails also constitute a perfect shingle nail. Timms Phillips & Co., Ltd.

No particular cost system was discussed but a few men complained that systems they had installed were not suited to the size of their business. Of course, there are a number of ways of keeping costs, which are claimed by the users to be the best. It would seem rather peculiar then, if these well-known systems could not be adapted to any size business. Correct costs of a business is what is wanted and the smaller the business the easier it-should be to bring into play the fundamental rules of the system.

Eaton & Sons, Limited of Orillia, Ont., recently, and was kindly given access to the cost system employed by that firm. The company employs about 150 men and are members of the Millwork Cost Bureau, Chicago. It is not the purpose of this article to describe the plant and equipment itself, but rather to give some idea of how the cost of the work going ‘through the factory is tabulated. However, those who are familiar with the industry will be able to gauge the approximate capacity of the plant when it is said that three sues are in use continually on detail work. To start at the beginning, which is ever the right thing to do, we will follow an imaginary order through the plant, keeping our eyes open to see how they keep tab on the cost of the work. First of all, the order when received, is taken down on the gen- eral order form in duplicate. This particular order may consist of several different items of millwork, but they are all put down to- gether on the general order form. The original is kept on file in the Office and the copy sent on to the Billing and Detailing Department. This department first bills out a factory order for each different job on factory order forms in triplicate (See Fig. 1). The original etained by the office, the first or blue copy is given to the Detail- Department and the second, or yellow copy, is eventually placed 1 the hands of the shipper. When the Detailing Department re- Turn in this Repert Card each night before leaving. : Si IMPORTANT WHAT DEPARTMENT CLOCK NUMBER the cee a, eae eo cs FINISHED | SAY WHAT KIND OF WORK True records are as necessary as a true piece of equipment factory door; the work- | ing orders and material slips are in the hands of foreman. Before starting the machinery and bench work of the different jobs on the im- aginary order, we will consider our overhead or burden. There are many ways of applying overhead. ‘Some add a percentage on lumber; others on labor, plus material. Percentage is not the most equitable or the most accurate way to apply overhead. A ma- chine may be operated by a 60-cent man one day and a 40-cent man the next. The actual overhead is the same in each case but the burden charge will vary if it is applied as a percentage on the per man-hour rate. It costs practically as much to handle 1,000 feet of oak as the same quantity of hemlock, yet if the overhead is applied as a percentage of value, the charge will be nearly three times as much in one case as in the other. A better way is to divide the overhead and apply it as a fixed charge on a definite unit. The above method as outlined by the Millwork Cost Bureau is to divide all cost or expense that is neither direct labor or direct material into five divisions: 5 Elapsed “K nae If Not Finished Check Below Bae stanven | res =| rag Division of Burden 1.

Finishing is considered bench work unless in sufficient volume to warrant a secell division for burden. . Commercial burden is all cost occurring after the manutac- Hee processes have been completed; warehousing, selling, general office expense, delivery (not freight) and administrative expenses. It is expressed as a percentage of the factory cost, which is direct material, plus yard and kiln burdens, plus direct labor, plus labor burdens. ; From the foregoing it will be seen that there are three definite COST SHEET : Order No. Name Date | DESCRIPTION— |. | [fee COST SUMMARY ARISE |[extension] ToTac l |_MATERIAL- | IL | 9 a Se @ ii | { i @ S @ fal | ; o | | | @ Alba a i @ | al + | MACHINE - LABOR HOURS BURDEN “ @ ema [ | BENCH -LABOR HOURS | BURDEN “@ | | al E LABOR : HOURS | i BURDEN “ @ | ; ! | | | REMARKS:- oink ____||FACTORY CosT hed ke py: ___ || COMMERCIAL BURDEN % 1 | Ae.

Going back to the factory where the material for our order is being distributed to the diffe.ent departments, the machine opera. tors take a card (See Fig. 3) and punch it at a nearby clock when they start on the order. When they finish it is punched again and the exact number or fraction of hours put on the job can be readily calculated. ‘The same applies to the benchmen. “Their different times on the order are tabulated also. These cards are collected at the end of each day and taken to the cost accounting department, We'll suppose now that our order is finished and so will go into the accounting department and see what becomes of the time cards. A special card (See Fig. 2) is kept and handed in by the department foremen if so necessary of work done by men outside of their own departments. In the accounting department they have sorted out the car on our order and are tabulating on the reverse side of the cost shea (See Fig. 4) the date, the number of hours and the cost of both the direct time of machine and bench, work. After this is completed, the totals are taken to the cost summary (See Figure 5). The cost sheet has space for customer’s name, order number, date and de- scription of order. The machine burden, as previously explained, is obtained by multiplying the number of hours by a flat burden rate, which is developed through analysis of past cost records, prefer ably a twelve months’ period. The additional labor and burden sec- tion at the bottom of the cost summary is for an additional produc- tion department if needed. If our order were tabulated on the cost sheet, we would add the totals of direct material cost, and the machine and labor costs and burdens and the result would be the factory cost. The commercial burden is then added, a ee a of the factory cost. The cost sheet is purely a factory cost record and there is no accommodation on it for the yard or kiln burdens and waste per centage. These burdens, of course, are included in the form of a flat rate (dollars and cents) per thousand of the purchased delivered price of the lumber. The cost of the number of feet estimated for the specific order is then calculated on the unit cost per thousand at the factory door. A feature of the accounting system in the J. R. Eaton & Sons’ plant is the large payroll book which accommodates all the names of the employees. At the top of each page the different depart ment names head the columns, and from the daily time cards each man’s time is tabulated for that day under the department in which he was working. With this system it can be readily ascertained, within a few hours’ notice to the accounting department, if need be, how many hours were spent in each department in the factory for any week, month or year, and what it cost. This information is very valuable for comparing each month’s figures in the various departments, Montreal Retailers Want Definite Grades The Montreal Retail Lumbermen’s Association have had under consideration the grading of lumber, which is admittedly in an un- satisfactory condition in the province of Quebec. Builders and con- tractors assert that they too often do not receive the quality which they have contracted for; retailers complain that manufacturers anc wholesalers do not always furnish the lumber specified when buy- ing; and wholesalers have not infrequently declared that the mills are at fault, and that the retailers on their part make many un- justified claims. Many suggestions have been made with a view to find a solu tion of this condition. One, emanating from the Montreal retailers, is that the Provincial Government appoint cullers who will inspect the cars and whose decision will ‘be final. It is argued that such a plan will bring up the standard of grading; that the mills will find, by painful experience that they will have to grade more carefully their stock and supply what is agreed upon; that the wholesalers will be protected and be able to give positive assurance to the re tailer; and that the retailer will be certain of receiving what he is paying for and will be in a position to guarantee the quality to h customer. In short, the Government culler will be able to gua the interests of all concerned, because he will he independent ang his authority unchallenged. On the other side, it is claimed that the plan—excellent on paper—is unworkable. It is pointed out that it would require % large staff to cull all the stock coming into, say Montreal, that de lays would be inevitable, especially ‘during the winter; ‘and th the expense would be very heavy. ‘There are also those who are secptical as to whether the beneficial results predicted for the plan would materialize in actual practice. This much, however, can be said with certainty— the absena of any positive standard throughout the province is a source of 3 very large number of complaints. , The varied character of the monthly gatherings of the Whole- sale Lumber Dealers’ Association was again in evidence at the March meeting held at the Albany Club, Toronto. M. B. Tudhope, barrister of Orillia, delivered a stirring address on “Some Aspects of Modern Civilization,” and among the other speakers were Col. Alex. Fraser, Rey. Dr. A, H. Denoon and H. L. Pease, of Chicago, secretary Na- tional Association of Box Manufacturers. The attendance was large and the proceedings were marked by an addition to the member- ship ranks of four local firms,—Big Bear Lumber Co.; Thompson & _Heyland Lumber Co.; Pedwell Hardwood Lumber Co. and the Kinnon Lumber Co. Col. A. R. Kenny, of the Big Bear Lumber - Co., and G. D. Martin, of the Kinnon Lumber Co., were present and 3 warmly ‘welcomed. son : = A resolution moved by K. M. Brown and seconded by J. L. : Campbell, was passed, extending sympathy to Graves, Bigwood & ~ Co., Toronto, in the recent death of their accountant, John Emer- ~ son. W. Ea Bigwood expressed his sincere appreciation of the > kindly reference made to Mr. Emerson, whose passing had been a j sad blow ‘to the firm, with whom he had been associated for: thirty- _ two years, not only as accountant but in a confidential capacity. J. L. MacFarlane sang a song in good style and then Alex. 4 C. Gordon, the chairman, introduced Mr. Tudhope, who proceeded } to address the gathering along somewhat original lines. He is a _ speaker of wit, force and freshness of thought, and in regard to his _ yisit said that all of us accepted responsibilities lightly when they _ were a long way off. In connection with our modern civilization, a definition might be a “concentrated method of making money.” _ Living had become so complicated that the old-fashioned, homely virtues had scarcely room to breathe. The world was becoming _ “canned,” in the sense that we get our news, our music, our politics, and even our religion, “canned” or colored. We accepted these “canned” products without thought as thinking for ourselves seem- $ ed with most people to be a lost art. The fault with modern civiliza- _ tion is that the world had many privileges to-day which it had never had before. People were quite willing to enjoy these but were not willing to assume the responsibility going along with them. The trouble with the world was not economic but moral. We had built up an artifical state of things and were seeking to live up to it. All was hustle, bustle and rush for the sake of gaining a few minutes of time or adding to the excitement of existence, and in the end what did it all amount to? We were something like the kitten chasing its tail round and round. It did not matter whether the kitten caught its tail or not, and the same observation held good with respect to the speed and anxiety seen on every side. ’Get Back to the Old Virtues The troubles in the world could not be fixed by statutes or ad- _justed by resolutions. We should all get back to good, old-fashioned goodness and virtues. The torch, the bomb and the knife have been _ tried but have never remedied anything. The explanation and _ solving of the riddle of modern civilization is so simple that we are _ constantly overlooking it. A peculiar trait of human nature was ‘that the things we found most fault with are the very things that _ we are doing ourselves. We have too great a conceit of ourselves to-day, and it might well be asked, would the world not head to- _ ward another period known as the Dark Ages if the spirit of greed -and grasp was not curbed. The homely virtues still lived and if it world, we would be treading back dangerously near the Dark Ages. There was too much greed and speed in the business arena; every- _body trying to get more. The simple trust and true honest friend- ships of our grandfathers’ day seemed to have gone by. People nowadays did not seem to give a cuss or care a damn for one another. _ Mr. Tudhope said he did not intend to preach a sermon but thought he was getting very close to it. The cure for all the per- plexities and problems of modern life was the return to simple, Straight old-fashioned kindness and goodness. There are many in- S| irations in the world, commercial, philosophic, scientific, etc., but there is another inspiration that causes sound goodness, and when our learts become concerned in it and it gets to work, we will witness _ were not for these things working to a certain extent in the business. CANADA LUMBERMAN 39 Homely Virtues are Being Crowded Out Today W holesale Lumbermen Listen to Stirring Talk on Need of World Returning to Simple, Honest Goodness of Our Grandfathers—Speed Mania Counts for Naught the miracles of Christ. All are called upon to bring back into their own life simple goodness and a new conception of things. “A little bit of goodness,” declared the speaker, “is akin to God and is ever- lasting.’ Mr. Tudhope urged a return to the old-fashioned friend- ships, faith, trust, confidence and brotherly love of the past—the goodness of other days. Col. Alex. Fraser spoke of the need of quiet thinking. The trouble to-day was that everything was prepared for us and we neglected deep thinking in our own interests. By the exercise of thought in the right direction, and remaining cheerful, we could face our problems and solve them. Reasonable men were devoting attention to affairs and realized the weakness of civilization at the present time. They were also seeking to break the environment and push on to something better and higher. Rey. Dr. Denoon humorously remarked that the world was evi- dently getting better when it could get a lawyer to preach. Men were thinking to-day of great things and realized that a man’s value to the community consisted in the service he rendered and the nature of that service depended upon the quality of his character and dis- position. Effect of Trade Organizations H. L. Pease, of Chicago, secretary of the National Association of Box Manufacturers, said he had been pleased with the character of the addresses during the evening. One of the biggest factors in the progress and welfare of the world was in trade associations. He did not believe any man could belong to such a body without being a better business man and a better man himself. Brotherly love in business had superceded the jealousy and suspicion of former days, and now those engaged in the same line of industry met with higher purposes and nobler aims in view. At the close a hearty vote of thanks was moved to Mr. Tudhope by J. L. Campbell and W. E. Bigwood. In replying Mr. T’udhope paid a brief tribute to the work and worth of trade associations, their broadening and uplifting effect. Where men formerly con- vened and listened to lewd stories or obscene references, things of greater and more vital moment were now considered and discussed, tending to bring out all that is best in ourselves. Guy H. Long, of Hamilton, who was in Toronto attending the district Rotary convention, was given a cordial reception after his absence for some months. He stated that he was pleased to see many new faces around the festive board, which was an indication of growing influence and added membership. The present occasion was also one of interest to him in that it was the nineteenth anniver- sary of the birth of the Long Lumber Co. Lumber Business is Active Everywhere W. B. Mershon & Co., of Saginaw, Mich., state there has never been a time since they have been manufacturing band saws,—and that is nearly thirty years——when they have had as many unfilled orders on their books as at the present time. They have 17 band rip saws ordered and various other resaws for sawmills, planing mills, ete., which brings their total up to about 40. W. B. Mershon, president of the company, says that they turn out about four machines a week and are thus filled up for a long time ahead. “Our prosperity,” he adds, “is caused by the prosperity of the lumber business and the country as a whole. All lines of trade seem to be active and there is going to be an enormous amount of building this spring. People have pretty generally made up their minds that they are not going to get their material and labor any cheaper by waiting. They have already waited longer than they wanted to so they are just going to shut their eyes to it and build. The farmers to the south are feeling better and are getting a good price for their cotton. JI wish the wheat farmers of the west and northwest were sharing in this prosperity to a greater extent.” Concluding, Mr. Mershon adds,—“Business is good and is going to be good in this country for quite a while. Next year will be a Presidential year and I never knew business to be good during a presidential campaign so you might just as well make hay while you can, for next year we will all probably be dormant.” - 40 CANADA Big Undertaking in Quebec Province Minister of Lands and Forests Says Waterpowers Cannot be Held Inactive by Speculators In a recent address delivered by Hon. H. Mercier, Minister of Lands and Forests for Quebec before the Canadian Club in Mon- treal, he made it clear that the time was past when Quebec’s national wealth in water powers could be exploited for the entire benefit of the interests owning them, and that the era had even more emphatically passed when such water powers could be secured and held inactive by speculators: He emphasized the fact that Quebec’s water power wealth was so vast that even of the known possible developments only a small proportion had been utilized, while in the more remote sections of the province there were possibilities of developments to the extent of millions of horse power which had not even yet been surveyed. ( A contract had recently been let for the Lake Kenogami storage dam, to ensure a steady flow of water to the pulp and paper mills at Chicoutimi and Kenogami. At present these mills could only operate at full capacity four or five months a year. When the dam was completed they would work the year round, and their annual capacity would be increased by 50,000 tons. The dam would cost about $2,000,000, and the benefitting companies were bound to pay the Government interest, sinking fund, maintenance and provision for a small profit to the province. (Applause.) It was a notable fact that most of the important power sites, capable of over 50,000 h.p., were situate within reach of industrial centres. Recently the contract had been let for the big dam at the grand discharge of Lake St. John, the contract with the Quebec Development Company covering a long term of years requiring them within five years to develop a minimum of 230,000 h.p., at a cost of $12,000,000. To utilize such electric energy would mean the erection of mills representing $15,000,000. Recent Dominion figures had shown that the commercial power of Quebec’s hydraulic forces represented 11,604,052 h.p., or double that of Ontario. At present 500 men are employed at the prelimin- ary work at the Grand Discharge, which would be increased by 2,000 men within two months, and later on by 2,000 more, and the whole development would be completed within four years, while the dam would raise the level of Lake St. John, to the great benefit of its navigation. Another recent important contract made by the Government was on the North Shore of the Gulf, and involved the lease of 2,000 square miles of timber limits, and a 75 year lease of the Outardes River power. Under competitive sale an annual rental of $6,000 was paid for the water power, with $400 a square mile bonus for the timber limits and the regular $2.70 per thousand stumpage, the whole contract going to the Ontario Paper Company at stumpage dues equal to $6.05 per thousand feet, the largest ever obtained, while the company bound itself to develop 15,000 h.p. and to build and operate a pulp and paper mill of 100 tons a day capacity. ‘This, said Hon. Mr. Mercier, was one of the most favorable transactions the province had ever made for the people, and would mean great industrial development for the North Shore. Mr. Mercier mentioned other important water powers on the North Shore, and in other parts of the province, running from 50,000 to over 100,000 or more h.p. The time had come for the utilization of the province’s public resources to the fullest possible extent. Claim is Allowed on Timber Contract Napoleon Turcotte et al. were successful in their action against Gedeon Fredette, in a judgment given recently by Justice Mercier in settlement of a case heard in the district of Hull, Que. The court condemned the defendant to pay the sum of $300.56, with interest starting from the date of the institution of the action and the costs. In default of payment of this sum the court ordered that 115,945 feet of wood, which had been seized, be sold according to law, so that the plaintiff be paid the sum claimed in the action. The plaintiffs sued the defendent in recovery of a sum of $433.50 and accompanied their action with a conservatory seizure. The plaintiffs alleged that during the month of May, 1921, they contracted to cut for manufacture hard wood for the defendant in the parish of St. Remi of Amherst, in the disrtict of Hull. During the months of May, June and July they cut 115,945 feet of hard wood for the de- fendant. The value of such work was reckoned at the rate of $9 a thousand feet. In June, 1921, defendant paid on account $210; in July he paid $400, making a total of $610. The balance due was therefore $433.50, The wood cut by the plaintiffs was still at St. Remi of Amherst, and LUMBERMAN they took a conservatory seizure on it, claiming that they had a right of retention on the wood as a guarantee of payment of their wages. Defendant pleaded that he had nothing to do with the plaintiffs, — but had made arrangements with Rev. Mr. Tremblay, parish priest. of St. Remi of Amherst, who contracted to cut the wood at a cheaper — rate than anyone else. Defendant said he had paid the parish priest — the sum of $610 for the work done. a Justice Mercier said that there were three questions to be decid- ed. The first was whether Gedeon Fredette had contracted with the parish priest of St Remi of Amherst or with the plaintiffs for the cutting of the wood. The second question was, what were the terms of the contract, supposing that the contract was between the plain- tiffs and the defendant? The third question was, what should be charged for the work under the circumstances revealed by the evi- dence in case the rate had not been definitely fixed by the contract? There seemed to. be no doubt, declared Justice Mercier, that — the contract was between Fredette and Napoleon Turcotte et al., with the parish priest aiding. The proof also showed, in the opinion © of Justice Mercier, that when the contract was made it was agreed that the plaintiffs would cut the wood as cheaply as possible, no definite rate being fixed. The lowest rate asked for by other mills was $8 a thousand feet for hard wood and $7 a thousand for soft wood. The proof also showed that the defendant’s wood was diffi- cult wood to cut and the rate of $9 a thousand feet charged by the plaintiffs was therefore not an exorbitant rate, under the circum- stances. In settling the third question, the court decided that, as there had been no rate fixed by the contract, it came within the pro- vince of the court to fix the price. Justice Mercier proceeded to assess the value of the work and taking imto consideration all the conditions, he reached the conclu- sion that there was a balance of $300.56 due to plaintiffs. Judgment was given accordingly. ; Operation of New Type Gates Furnace The Gates Engineering Co., Limited, 314 Notre Dame St. West, Montreal, are among the few firms who contract for and specialize in boiler setting and furnace building, oven work and power plant brick work. The President, Mr. J. W. Gates, has had a wide ex- perience in this field of operation. Coupled with a thorough know- ledge of refractories, this has placed him in the forefront of his pro- -fession and lead him to devote considerable thought to economic combustion of waste of by-product fuels and coal fuel. Mr. Gates has United States and Canadian patents covering furnace linings, non-clinkering furnace blocks, arches and jambs, air cooled and wa- ter cooled suspension harness for flat arches suitable for burning sawdust, shingle hairs, edgings, tan bark, paper mill refuse, etc. To burn these waste fuels under boilers efficiently depends up- on three conditions, developed in the Gates Engineering Company’s patented furnaces,—high temperature, correct supply of air, com- plete mixture of pre-heated air with fuel gases and taking care of 50 per cent moisture. , With these conditions under control, furnace efficiency is secur- ed. ‘Mr. Gates has designed a furnace to overcome the trouble ex- perienced in a standard furnace, caused by sawdust coning and burn- ing at the edges only, which admits excess air and cooling off the furnace. In the new type of furnace installed down east in one of the large pulp and paper mills, Mr. Gates has provided a perfect method — of feeding the fuel to the grates of the furnace at precisely the rate at which combustion takes place. The furnace, which is fitted with — grates at an angle of 54 degrees, permits the fuel to flow in a flat — stream covering the grates with an even bed. As the fuel is con- sumed more is stipplied by gravity and a bed of unvarying thickness — is maintained. The thickness can be changed at will to suit the draft by raising or lowering the fuel louvers. ‘The flat fuel bed of saw- dust insures proper draft distribution and greatly increases the rate of combustion. With the furnace just installed the company are developing 747 h.p. with a water tube boiler containing 5,000 square feet of heating surface. Prior to the changing from a standard set- ting to a “Gates patent furnace” setting, the best that the company — could get was 250 h.p. The furnace under that unit has been built to burn any kind of — fuel, sawdust, tan bark, chippings from wood room, shingle hairs, lathe material cuttings (or coal). If necessary, when waste fuel is not available, firing can be done through the lower fire doors pro- vided for this emergency. A set of shaking and dumping grates is fitted to this type of furnace and also a moisture absorbing roof, making the furnace an all around, up-to-date, efficient furnace which — develops perfect combustion of fuels, if be? ee? a eee Vek ey oe CANADA LUMBERMAN King Sol, beaming down from his pathway on high, Flung a whiff from his nostrils that reached into space; King Winter rebelled that his rival should try To again wrest full power in Spring’s time-honored race. But the slow-lengthening days under Sol’s kindly smile Undermined Winter’s strength; ’tis the logic of life— Strength is never so strong that it holds all the while, And weakness is often the stronger in strife. So the ice and the snow felt a new life within, An impulse to move, to be onward—away, And blindly obedient some new goal to win, They start ever ready, content to obey; At first a mere trickle, a splashlet of sound, A sweet droning hum in the murmuring rills; Then wide foaming torrents, log crested, abond, Dame Nature now rushes Man’s grist to the mills. The pent-up resources of each flake of snow Have broken all bands; each joined with its neighbor Is brimful of energy, surging to show Its bouyant, agressive contempt for hard labor; Just load on its back the entire winter’s pile, And swiftly the slave does the task of its master; But should the poor boss leave his job for a while, The slave’s mighty strength piles up heaps of disaster. The long grind of winter is ended at last The log driver’s dream has again become true; The spell of adventure around each is cast, Full stout are the hearts of that manifold crew. The pull of the peavey each riverman knows, The thrill of the moment he breaks his first jamb, The spice of the danger is gripping, and grows, So Tom, Dick and Harryeare there with black Sam. With peaveys and canthooks and pikepoles, galore, Calked boots, rusty boom chains, a light slippery boom, A dry squeeking windless, each turn a sad roar, Thus slowly the gang crosses old Benson’s lagoon Where the whole winter’s cut had been piled mountain high, - Awaiting the magic of spring’s mystic wand; And now at the river’s mouth safely they lie Till Mac thunders forth his gruff word of command. *T was a galley slave’s life to cross Benson’s lake, A slow steady grind at the windlass each day; While ahead Spirit River, swift flowing, oh, jake! The heart of each driver was bouyant and gay; For danger is joy to the log driver’s soul, And sweet is the music of waters a-swirl; _ Each courting the chance of an uncertain goal, With the zest that he would the fond smile of a girl. The morning was fair as a spring morn can be, _The balm of the air and the whiff of the breeze Made life one grand joy, and yet that day three Should find their last resting place under the trees; Big Mac gave the word and Joe opened the boom Then swiftly each log found its place in the stream; They jostled each other, each claiming more room, Crisscrossing in sport like a “mad hatter’s’’ dream. At the gulch near Guy Porter’s with swift water raging And the old saw-tooth rock in mid-stream towering high, Two forty-foot timber sticks, battle engaging, Soon blocked all the traffic and stemmed the stream dry. Four men had been stationed to keep this spot open And proud were the men who were picked for the fray; All realized fully that no higher token ‘Could ever be paid, than was paid them that day. \ With rivermen, leadership, courage, endurance, Rare dare-devil-deftness (pure gold of the trail) All whipcord and whalebone combined with assurance, With these naught can ever make log drivers quail.

The Log Driver’s Lure Prelude—The Magic of Spring ‘By M. D. Geddes, Calgary . He quailed not one whit as the key log he parted; Two swift starting strokes, how the chips flew afar, He quailed not forsooth as undaunted he darted Where madly logs leaped like wild stallions at war. The war of the waters, logs shrieking, death haunted, The crash and the smash and the madd’ning pell-mell And here this young stripling, alone and undaunted, Like the devil at bay in the cauldron of Hell. Like a fisherman’s cork, tugged far down, liberated; A log bobbing up flung him high in mid-air, He grasped a slim branch and swinging there waited, One arm dangling limp, yet no whimper or prayer; His friends in mute agony watched him in wonder, Oh God, but it’s hard to see wrong crushing right, Here youth, courage, manhood seemed forced to go under And die in the grip of an unequal fight. What! can it be possible? Look! how he’s climbing, His teeth grip the branch then now reach with his hand, His friends now take heart, they too are combining, A rope, oh a rope for he yet may reach land. He flutters aloft like a bird winged and dying, Beneath him a maelstrom of saw-logs gone mad, White water, rocks, logs, are with each other vieing, To see who can conquer the game of the lad. His arm muscles failing, his teeth losing power, He sees hell below on its annual spree, Appearances point that he’s near his last hour, But he jumps square and true from his grip on the tree, Lands firm on a “king” log, all new pitfalls foiling, His chums jump to rescue this pall of their pride, All riding superbly through white water boiling, Seem more safely “horsed” than a rancher astride. The might of Niagara thundered around them, The canyon of death gave their “steeds” a new thrill, The pitch and the toss of the waters, though, found them Well versed in the lore of all river craft skill. They knew none had ever survived this ordeal, And two had deliberately entered to save, Though outwardly rough they were true as tried steel, “My life for my friend” is the thought of the brave. No pikepole to balance, arm broken, poor Harry, His log strikes a rock now he’s fighting, midstream, Black Sam throws his rope, too short, it can’t carry; He plunges at once like the “shade” of a gleam With long light’ning strokes now he reaches unerring, The spot where brave Harry had dropped out of sight, He dives, then is flung by a log, like a herring Is tossed when the fisher has ended its fight. Tom’s eyes they are glued to his log and the river; He knows not, as yet, that two chums are no more, Dick follows on foot with his nerves all a-quiver A-hoping ’gainst hope Tom may safely reach shore. The banks are so high and so rough is the going, Tom plunges and bounding and burling alone; A curve of the stream and Dick cuts across, knowing ’Tis his only chance to forestall the “Swan Song.” The narrows he reaches all puffing and panting Of this wicked gorge this one spot is most damned; Tom soon swings in sight, you’d just think he was jaunting, The smile and the poise and the distance from land. ’ Dick realized quickly his one chance was roping His chum on the crest of the ‘“Devils’s Delight,” He throws, arm unerring, the pluck found him groping Along with his chum in the darkness of night. Together they shot through the sheet of white water Together descended midst logs, froth and foam, Together so far and perhaps yet hereafter, But not on green earth will both hithermore roam. Some pals later found them, a willow branch weeping Hung low ovér Dick, Tom was gasping for air, He quickly recovered but Dick still is sleeping, And down through the years three green mounds linger there. 42 ETE Ebadi: mF zy EE GE raaka ee 2 4 a “2, — — ee : BRS Ne % Rees 56s as B29 = whe : om - ae a Reh Ake a rr ae le ih is ye us lab OSS The groundwood pulp mill recently completed at Kenora by Backus-Brooks Company New Pulp Plant at Kenora Starts The residents of Kenora, Ont., a town which has long been as- sociated with the developments of the forest interests of northwest- ern Ontario, are delighted at the inception of a flourishing industry which has been launched by the Backus-Brooks Company. The new 80-ton groundwood pulp mill, erected by this organization, started up recently and a new era of industrial life has been entered upon. The construction of the pulp mill will be followed by the building of a large newsprint plant, excavation for which will be begun in the near future. Kenora will thus take its place among the leading cen- tres of Ontario as a pulp and paper producing municipality. A description of the new plant of the Backus-Brooks Company is interesting and instructive. From the power house the power ts transmitted to the pulp mill sub-station over two double circuit three phase feeders. The cables, twelve in all, are supported on steel tow- ers, spaced 180 feet apart, the total length of transmission line being 4.000 feet. From the sub-station power is distributed to the various mill buildings; for the grindér motors the power is carried through at 2,200 volts to the grinder switchboard, while power for the other motors is carried from the sub-station, where: the transformers are located at 550 volts. The pulpwood used at the mill will come from the Lake of the \Woods through a log sluice into Rideout Bay. A conveyor will take the wood from the water to the slasher table. Here it will ‘be cut into four foot lengths and then go into the barker. The bark is taken care of by going through a 20 in. bark press, and is then conveyed to the boiler house for use as fuel. Tne barked wood is carried to the storage room over the top of the mugazine grinders, and is here stored for use when the wood room is not operating. There is sufficient room for enough food to run the mill twenty-four hours at full capacity. The grinder room is equipped with four standard magazine grind- ers, built by the Waterous Engine Works, Co. of Brantford, and each pair is driven by a 2,800 h.p. synchronous motor. The motor 1s direct connected to the two grinders, being situated between them, so that in case of repairs or replacement of stones being necessary, the grinder can be uncoupled and the other unit operated while re- pairs are being made. The stock from the grinders flows by gravity to the bull screen. This screen is of the rotary outward flow type built by Hymac, of Montreal. The slivers are discharged to a catch basin at one end of the screen, collected and put ‘back into the magazine and reground. The accepted stock from the bull screen is then pumped to the flow box ahead of two Sherbrooke knotters, where any coarse slivers that the bull screen fail to remove, are taken out. The stock then goes through Sherbrooke centrifugals, and the tailing from the centri- fugals goes to Sherbrooke tailers. The accepted stock flows by gravity to the wet machine room. The accepted stock from the tailers reverts to the bull screens, while the tailing from the knotters and tailers travels to a Clafin en- gine to be reground. The system is entirely closed, and a one hun- ded per cent yield from the wood is available. No. slivers, white water, or stock in any form is allowed to go to“waste. White water is used throughout the mill except on the wet machine cylinders, and the wet machine felt showers. The fresh water used for pressure on the grinders discharges back into a suction tank and is continually reused. The wet machine room is equipped with eight 84 in. Waterous wet machines, and two &6 in. Dominion machines, and four South- wark 600-ton hydraulic presses.

Sawing Season Will Begin Early Many sawmills will be starting operations during the latter part of this month and eatly in May. It is not known yet how the supply of common help will be but it is stated that, in some centres, there will be an increase for rough labor around the mill and yard. Last year when the lumber business was dull and the outlook none too promising, some firms paid men 25 to 30 cents an hour but it — is rumored that there will be an advance of 10 to 15 per cent, owing to the better trade outlook and the fact that men may be, scarce at certain points. $3.00 may be the minimum for a married man. Speaking of the outlook generally, a leading Ontario operator stated recently that skilled labor, such as sawyers, doggers, setters, filers and others would receive the same pay. They had not been reduced nearly as much from the peak figure as had common labor and were, therefore, on a better basis. The men on the drives will perhaps, receive about the same as last year,—from $2.00 to $2.50 per day and board. It is expected that in all sawmill centres labor will be pretty well employed during the coming season. i Appeal in Morin vs Hammond Co. Notice of appeal from the recent judgment of the Supreme Court of Canada in the case of J. P. Morin, of Madawaska county, N. b., vs the Hammond Lumber Company of VanBuren, Me., awarding — the plaintiff $10,900 with costs, including the costs of the courts, has been given by the plaintiff company who are preparing to take the case before the Privy Council at London, Eng. ; The judgment of the Supreme Court of Canada was given dur- ing the month of December past, upsetting the decision given by the Supreme Court of New Brunswick on appeal from the decision of Mr. Justice Barry, in which Mr. Justice Crocket dissented. The plai tiff’s claims were refused on trial before Mr. Justice Barry, the dam- ages being assessed at that time by a jury at $10,900, the amount fin- ally awarded by the Supreme Court of Canada. The original action arose out of contracts let by the Hammond Lumber Company for the cutting of some five millions of logs, sub- contracted for by various operators; among these was the plaintiff, who had taken a contract to supply a million feet of logs. This ar- rangement was later upset by the departure of the chief contractor, who had sublet the smaller contracts, without making payments to the smaller operators. A new verbal argreement was claimed by the plaintiff to bridge the difficulty between the plaintiff and the defen ant company, which was later repudiated by the company on th grounds that no contract existed, no written agreement having bee made. The case was first tried before Mr. Justice Barry with a jury, the plaintiff's claims being disallowed, while the damages were a sessed at the amount of $10,000. This decision was. upheld by the Supreme Court of New Brunswick on appeal, Mr. Justice Crocket dissenting. In November of last year the case was argued befor the Supreme Court of Canada. er Logging Costs are Considerably Higher . The Huntsville Lumber Co., of Huntsville, Ont., state that their stock is considerably less at present than it was a year ago and ther is a better demand for hardwoods. , The trade outlook is regarded better than in 1922. Costs of production during the past season have been higher owing to the increased wages for labor and more par ticularly as the winter in the Huntsyille’district was an unfavorable — one for operating. Hauling was late in starting and the snow was too light to make roads. Influenza affected both men and horses to — a great extent during the cold months, a CANADA LUMBERMAN 43 Retail Lumbermen Will Have Summer Outing Executive Decides upon Trip down the St Lawrence—Selects Standing Committees for Year and Decides to Hold Next Annual Convention in Toronto A quarterly meeting of the directors of the Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association was held in the Board of Trade Rooms Toronto, on March 22nd, Much important business was transacted, the standing committees were appointed for the coming year and plans made for a forward movement in many directions. Toronto was selected as the next place of the annual meeting | which will be held in January 1923, and it was also decided that the midsummer outing should be in the nature of a steamer trip, taking in the important points of Lake Ontario and the Thousand Islands. The details were left in the hands of a competent com- mittee. oa K. J. Shirton, of Dunnville, president of the Association, pre- sided, and there were present:—Messrs, W. M. Tupling, Orillia; F. B.

The secretary reported progress in connection with the Me- chanics’ Lien Act, stating that the legal representatives were seek- ing to have some amendments made to the act, introduced by the Hon. W. E. Raney in the Ontario Legislature, which had already re- ceived the first reading. The secretary also reported in regard to the changes in the new act as compared with the old one, which made it to some extent a more satisfactory act for the lumber and supply dealers. On motion of Mr, J. is Van Dusen, seconded by Mr. John T. Grantham, the action taken by the secretary in connection with the Mechanics’ Lien Act was approved, and he was instructed to take whatever further action he considered advisable. Building and Loan Association Proposal At this stage of the meeting, Mr. J. B. Carswell of Toronto, Mr. J. M. Piggott of the Piggott-Healey Construction Co., Hamilton, and Mr. R. J. Mero, vice-president and general manager of the Trust Goncrete Steel Co., Windsor, entered the meeting, having been in- vited to attend for a conference upon the subject of Building and Loan Associations. The necessity for local building and loan asso- ciations was then discussed by Messrs. Shirton, Scofield, Carswell, Piggott and Mero and, at the conclusion, Mr. Carswell stated that the visitors understood quite fully the views of the retail lumber dealers and would submit them to the directors of their own asso- ciations. He assured the lumber dealers that they could count upon a very considerable amount of co-operation from the contracting and building interests. Mr. Carswell concluded with an invitation to the O.R.L.D.A. to become affiliated with the Association of Canadian Building & Construction Industries, with headquarters at Ottawa. Mr. Shirton, ‘president of the O.R.L.D.A., advised them that the Association vould take the matter into eouidideration and report subsequently, Before the visitors retired, a short discussion took place in re- gard to the Mechanics’ Lien Act. ‘Messrs. Carswell, Piggott and Mero then withdrew, On motion of Mr. M. R. Bogart, seconded ‘by Mr. J. C. Scofield, the secretary was instructed to communicate with the secretary of the Association of ‘Canadian Building & Construction Industries and ask them for full particulars regarding the objects of their associa- tion and the cost of membership, and to report at the next meeting of the Directors. The secretary-treasurer presented a statement of Association finances for the first three months of the year showing a good bal- ance on hand. On motion of Mr. J.C. Scofield, seconded by Mr. E. C. Russell, it was carried that the question of investing a portion of the surplus funds on hand should be left with the president and secretary, with power to act. Same Rate Continues on Joiner Work Mr. W. M. Tupling reported that he and Mr. Rose of Ottawa had attended conferences with representatives of the railway com- panies and the Canadian Manufacturers’ Association in connection with the proposed reclassification of freight rates for joiner work, and that the result was very satisfactory to members of our Asso- ciation. The proposed new classification, which had involved in- creases in freight costs from ten to fifty per cent, had been abandon- ed: by the railway companies. An agreement was reached which would practically continue the rates in effect, with one or two changes which were in the nature of reductions. Also, the minimum carload weight had been fixed at 20,000 Ibs., although the railway companies had wanted to increase it. On motion of Mr. J. C. Sco- held, seconded by Mr. E. C. Russell, it was carried that a vote of thanks be extended to Messrs. Tupling and Rose for their very effi- cient service in connection with these conferences, and that their traveling expenses in connection therewith be paid by the Association. The secretary reported that Mr. G. S, Zimmerman, chairman of the Standing Committee on Cost Accounting, desired to wait until early in June before calling his committee together, on account of his own business year ending about that time. Mr. Zimmerman had stated that in the meanwhile he would get in touch with the mem- bers of his committee and take the matter up as far as possible by correspondence. The secretary submitted a proposed trademark, which was ex- amined by each member present, and on motion of Mr. J. C. Sco- field, seconded by Mr. M. R. Bogart, the secretary was instructed to ascertain at what cost cuts of this trademark for the use of mem- bers could be obtained, and to report at the next meeting, and to pay if necessary the expenses that had been incurred in connection with the preparation of the trademark sketch. In conformity with a resolution carried at the annual meeting, the next item of business was consideration of the distribution of the province into sections and branches. On motion of Mr. E. C. Rus- sell, seconded by Mr. J. B. Van Dusen, it was carried that a com- mittee be appointed to work out redistribution, in connection with the secretary, and report at the next meeting; the committee to be appointed ‘by the president and secretary. Toronto Gets the Next Convention The place at which to hold the next annual meeting was dis- cussed. Mr. J. C. Gilchrist, Toronto, stated that the retail lumber dealers of Toronto would be much gratihed if the meeting were held in Toronto. It was moved by Mr. W.'M. Tupling, seconded by Mr. M. R. Bogart, and carried that the next annual meeting should be held at Toronto about the third week in January, on dates that would not clash with the annual meeting of the Canadian Lumber- men’s Association; that the sessions should occupy three days; that a special committee should be appointed for the purpose of making the annual meeting a success, consisting of R. A. Laidlaw, Toronto, chairman; W. E. Sav age, Mimico; T. ‘A. Paterson, Toronto; T. E. Rathbone, Toronto, and the president, Mr. K. J. Shirton; and that this committee should be requested to work out a plan by means of which the expenses of the convention might be met by a charge made upon each member attending. The directors then discussed the question of a midsummer out: ing, ‘he secretary submitted information he had obtained regarding i HH 44 CANADA, LUMBERMAN a trip through the Thousand Islands to Montreal and return; a trip to Naigara Falls and Buffalo and return; and a trip on Lake Erie, taking in Buffalo, Cleveland and Detroit. A representative of the Canada Steamship Lines was summoned to the meeting by tele- phone and gave information as to available trips. On motion of Mr. J.C. Scofield, seconded ‘by Mr. J. B. Van Dusen, it was carried that the midsummer outing should be in the nature of a trip taking in the important points on Lake Ontario and in the Thousand Islands, de- tails to be left in the hands of a committee to be appointed, for whom further information would be furnished by the Canada Steamship Lines. The directors discussed the personnel of this committee, and finally the president oppointed a committee consisting of Messrs. W. B. Tennant, Toronto, chairman; W. E. Savage, Mimico; John Irvin, Weston; J. B. Van Dusen, Brockville; J. B. MacKenzie, Georgetown; H. R. Bogart, Chatham; W. M. Tupling, Orillia, and S. M. Lambert, Welland. On motion of ‘Mr. J. B. Van Dusen, seconded by Mr. A. R. San- ders, a vote of thanks was carried, to be extended to the Toronto Board of Trade for the use of their Council Chamber for the meeting. Reliable Data on Strength of Woods The question of the relative strength of different woods very frequently arises in manufacturing, engineering, building and many other branches of modern industry, and decision as to the kind of wood to be used for a particular purpose is often based on mere opinion, guesswork or figures of doubtful reliability. There is no necessity for this state of affairs so far as Canadian timbers are con- cerned as the strengths of all native commercial woods have been extensively investigated at the Forest Products Laboratories of Can- ada (Dominion Forestry Branch) Montreal, where authoritative in- formation on the subject is on record. The testing of timber for strength has ‘been revolutionized in recent years and uniform methods are now in use at the government timber research laboratories in India, United States, Canada and elsewhere. These methods, which may be regarded as standard, cover every phase of the operation from the selection of the timber in the woods to the recording of the results of the various tests. Timber Testing is only. one of the functions of the Forest Products Laboratories of Canada, but the extent of their investigations in this particular direction is indicated by the fact that upwards of 45,000 tests have been made during the past eight years. Snow Handicaps Logging in the West A recent despatch from Vancouver says that the lumber indus- try of British Columbia has been crippled by an unprecedented snowfall. The sawmills of the province are built more like summer camps than like buildings suitable for zero weather and the cost of operating in cold spells adds from $1 to $5 a. thousand to the cost of cutting lumber, thus taking more than the profit out of the trade. _ Logging camps suffered even more than the sawmills as the snow was piled from four to six feet high in the majority of the camps, particularly in logging camps on Vancouver Island. It will be days before the loggers can get to work again and this is liable to hold up the supplies for the mills. : _ Never in the history of the lumber trade has the industry been caught in the same position it was lately. All mills have their books full of orders, nearly all on a basis of $21 for No. 1 common. Logs are scarce with every probability of an advance in prices, which would cripple the lumber manufacturer as he is aleady paying $18 for his No. 2 logs and there would be no spread for the cost of cutting if logs continue to go up. Penetang Industries are Working Overtime J. T. Payette, of the P. Payette Co., Penetanguishene, Ont. says that since last December, business has been exceptionally good. The Adams Engine Co. and the P. Payette Co., both of white are owned by Mr.: Payette, have now as many employees as they did during the best times of the war. The industries are working three nights a week overtime and find it difficult to keep up with ‘ordens Mr. Payette says the lumber business especially looks bright and he does not think there has been much wildcattine done. Many large mills have sold their output for 1923. Mr. Payette concludes,— “We recently had a letter from an American lath-buying firm who wrote us asking if we could not procure them some lath from the different concerns to whom we sold our machines, We took our list and wrote each one individually, but all we were able to gather were three carloads of 32-inch spruce lath. This shows that the country must be pretty well cleaned out of lath.” Canada Has Hidden Reserve of Lumber That Canadian loggers have been unwillingly amassing a great reserye of perfectly sound logs for a more enterprising generation — to collect is suggested by the Forest Products Laboratories of 'Can-_ ada (Dominion Forestry Branch). This reserve is to be found in the beds of those streams where log-driving has been carried on for many years. Such sunken logs will remain sound for thousands of years, in fact as long as the streams run over them, and no better way, declare the Laboratories, could be devised to protect them from the causes of decay. Many pulp and lumber companies esti-— mate their loss of logs by sinkage at five to ten per cent so that a stream which has been used to drive logs from the forest to the mill — for twenty years should contain’ at least, the equivalent of a year’s — cut of good logs. a oe _New Retail Lumber Yard in Kitchener | : H. Koepke, of Kitchener, Ont., who has been a well-known con- tractor for several years, is starting a retail lumber yard and planing mill in that city which will be in operation this month. The planing mill, which is nearing completion, is fully equipped with all the most modern machinery for the manufacture of sash, doors, etc. It is a two-storey structure with the installations distributed on both floors. The business will be known as the Twin City Sash & Door Co., of Kitchener. The firm will continue-to do general contracting under the direction of Mr. Koepke, who is a progressive citizen. British Journal Criticizes Mail Service Has the Canadian mail service to Britain deteriorated since the pre-war days. The Timber Trade Journal, of London, Eng., the organ of British trade, replies to a resolution passed by the Canadian Lumbermen’s Association, deploring the absence of information about Canada’s export of timber in the british press, by the statement: “There is considerable difficulty in obtaining news from Canada. Be- fore the war mail was frequently sent via New York and was deliver- — ed in eight or nine days, whereas now, owing to the absence of an- agreement with the United States, there is no certainty that the mail longer.” Sudden Death of John Emerson — Many friends of the lumber industry will learn with regret of the death of John Emerson, 3 Algonquin Ave., Toronto, who died very suddenly on March 12th while on his way to work. He was account- ant for Graves, Bigwood & Co., Bank of Hamilton Building, To- ronto, and had not been in the best of health for some time owing to heart trouble. While boarding a King St. car at Sunnyside he was seized with a sudden weakness and expired a few minutes afterwards while being taken in an atttomobile to the hospital. Mr. Emerson, who was 5/7 years of age, was born in Belfast, Ireland, and had been employed by Graves, Bigwood & Co. for thirty-two years. He joined the organization in Buffalo and had worked at Wahnapitae, Nairn, Byng Inlet and Toronto. He is survived by a wife and family of eight children. His passing is greatly regretted by the members of the firm with which he was © associated for so long a period not only in a financial but also in a — confidential capacity. He enjoyed the esteem and respect of a wide circle of friends, many of whom attended the last sad rites. F. M. Anderson Joins Silent Majority rah I'rederick M. Anderson died recently in the Soldiers’ Memorial — Hospital at Campbellton, N.B., from the effects of the grippe and pneumonia . He was formerly woods manager of the Shives Lum- ber Co., but retired from that position some time ago. ‘Mr. Anderson, who was in his 68th year, is survived by his widow, one daughter and three sons. Mr, Anderson was very active in the promotion of the Soldiers’ Memorial Hospital at Campbellton, and was secre- tary-treasurer of that institution. He donated a turses’ home in connection with the hospital. He was also chairman of the Camp- bellton Board of ducation and was a prominent figure in Masonic circles, . hl as So = CANADA LUMBERMAN Glimpses of the mill buildings and limits Plant of the Canada Creosoting Co., Limited, Sudbury, Ont., showing oil tanks, process building, and bundle of railway ties on car ready for treatment One of the dwelling houses in entire Michigan village which was moved by motor truck a distance of eleven miles over country road.

Dealers Inclined to Under-estimate Value of Attractive Publicity in Name and Show Windows I was informed there was no stock coming into the yard at pre- sent, nor had any been bought for the spring anticipations. It didn’t surprise me to be told that, “Collections were slow.” ‘There is an- other yard in the city to which I refer but a stranger would never know it. Like as in many other places it is located off from the principal streets and is hidden from them by intervening buildings. This may do in a small town where one can see all over it. I discov- ered the difference, however, when I began to do business where | now live and after the elevation of the railroad tracks my yard was hidden behind it so I put up a large sign on the other side where The result was an increase of callers at the office. There has always been an underestimating of the value of signs generally among retail lumbermen outside of the larger cities. It illustrates in another way the attitude of the country dealers in their assuming that everybody knows where they are. While this may be true, yet there is a certain psychology about an attractive sign that operates to the benefit of that yard. It is always suggestive of an invitation to call there. Further, it indicates that the proprietor is an enterprising individual and that of itself is attractive. Then again, it being conspicuous, people see it oftener which serves to ac: more constantly in keeping that yard in mind; and when people wan, anything in that line, that is the first yard they think of. The greatest merchants in the world are noted for their display of signs, show windows and general liberality in advertising. This “peculiar” race knows the business value of attracting the attention of people. Go in any city and you can notice this. Ill venture to say, too, that whenever you see a large attractive sign at a lumber yard and a more than usual attractive appearance of the whole plant, you will find, as a rule, that that yard is doing the leading business. This, of course, may not be all the reasons for it, but in what travel- ing I have done about the country, I have found this to be almost invariably the prevailing rule. The .more progressive dealers are recognizing this psychological value of attractive signs and show windows, and in this way making their vards one of the show places in the town, [ stopped off at —hbetween trains and utilized a few minutes calling at the office of one of the line yards there. I happened to know where the yard was. If I had not, I would have had to inquire as to its location, for like the other yard spoken of, there was no visible sign to show it and I know there are people living in that town that don’t know where it is, for I had to ask three persons be- fore I found one who could tell me, I did this just to make a test of what I have been saying in regard to yards without signs.—C. H. Ketridge, Evanston, III. How Ontario Firms View Outlook Mitchell Lros., of Holland Centre, Ont., who are quite extensive operators in hardwood, state that the volume of trade in 1922 was considerably more than that in 1921 and that profits and prices were both better. Stock is about 50 per cent:less than it was last yeai at this time. Mitchell Bros. consider the outlook for 1923 as good and they are getting more inquiries for local and export demand than they have for the last two years. The prices offered are from 10 to 15 per cent better for heavy stock of hardwood, such as maple and birch, The demand and prices for the lower grades of 1-inch lumber are very poor. The McNaught Lumber Co., of Pine, Ont., state that wages in the camp during “the past season were from 20 to 25 per cent higher than they were a year ago and operating costs right through promise to be from 10 to 15 per cent more than last year. The log output of the firm is double what it was last winter and their stock on hand is only about half as much as it was in the corresponding period of 1922. Lumbermen of Chatham are Optimistic The lumber firms of Chatham, Ont., are preparing for one of the busiest seasons in their history. The demand for material -in- dicates early spring activities and dealers have large stocks on hand ready for the rush. A local newspaper gives the following informa- tion regarding how Chatham lumbermen view the situation :— \W. A. Hadley, president and general manager of the S. Hadley Co., stated that the time of speculative building of houses in Chatham is past, that those now being constructed and under consideration templating arranging an outing during the summer. erU AVE Bae, AN in the city are “homes” as evidenced by the grade of timber asked for. This enterprising firm have orders for many houses and im- provements already and their sales for the two months of the year 1923 far surpasses those for the corresponding months of last year. Prices in lumber increased a short time ago on account of the de- mand, but it is confidently expected that they will now remain steady — although those who wait for another year to build will probably be confronted with a greater increase then. Percy Pigott, manager of the P. G. Piggott Lumber Company, expects the greatest volume of business since he entered into full control of the firm. office for lumber and the architects of the city have informed them that they have on hand many plans for construction of buildings as soon as the weather permits. The amount of business transacted by this firm during the two months just past is almost as half as_ much again as the first two months of 1922. S: a Hadley of the C. and J. Hadley Lumber Company said that he wished it understood that in spite of all the pessimistic. he- | marks to the contrary Chatham is in one of the most prosperous © In his business a good check may be kept on — the general condition of the city and he is well pleased with it as | periods in its history. it is now. Prospects are the best he believes that he has ever known them and he looks for the necessity of bringing into the city a num- — ber of men this summer to fill the demand for labor. i Montreal Wholesalers Favor Better Condit = The members of the Montreal) Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ ‘hod sociation held their monthly meeting on March 15th at the Mount Royal Hotel, J. S. Bock presided. The question of terms of sale was discussed at some length and it was agreed that the terms to the trade shall be 2% 30 days from date of shipmenty or net,—not longer than 60 days from date of shipment, such forms to become effective oo and atten) Vay hstaame xt. The desirability of securing more thikor grading of lumber was briefly discussed. It was decided to appoint Messrs. J. S. Bock, C. Villiers, W. B.- Blair, J. Laferte, G: M. Strong and’©. Page as a committee to define the grades of certain classes of spruce, pine and hemlock. This will serve as the basis of any decision of the Arbitra- tion Committee. a U. E. Germain mentioned that the Quebec Department of Lands and Forests had under consideration an educational campaign for establishing better and more uniform grades and had asked him to assist in the work. Q W.H. Cote stated that the Entertainment Committee were con- would include a golf tournament open to wholesalers and retailers, for which the “Canada Lumberman” had offered to put up a cup. The Montreal Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association is also considering the subject of lumber grading, but from another angle. A committee has been appointed to define certain grades of spruce, pine and hemlock, with a view to assisting the work of the Arbitration Committee. This will provide a basis on which any work can be done, and will also be of value should there be a wide- spread movement to obtain more uniformity. Besides this, the Que- bec Government has under consideration propaganda work directed to secure uniformity and better grading—so that there is evidently an awakening to the. importance of solving this difficult problem. Creosoted Wood Blocks for Stable Flooring Wooden flooring for stables has much to recommend it, but unfortunately the conditions connected with its construction and use are specially favourable to decay. Frequent renewals of such flooring often cause owners to adopt some more durable and less” comfortable material. ‘The Forest Products Laboratories of Canada (Dominion Forestry Branch), Montreal, point out that the remedy lies, not in discarding wood and substituting conerete or stone pave- ment, but in using wood which has been rendered proof against decay. For this purpose creosoted: wood blocks are suggested as possessing the greatest number of advantages as a stable floor. Creosoted wood-block flooring is warm and easy under foot, very resistant to wear, such blocks may be obtained at a reasonable price, and the cost of maintenance is very low.

[ach weekly issue of federal and provincial Gazettes pours forth a veritable flood of new, impressively named organizations which have secured letters patent and are, apparently, ready for business. The head office is given but-no number or street address, and among the “provisional directors” are the names of pretty stenographers, unknown bookkeepers, ubiquitous office boys and plain ordinary clerks. At times the name of a solicitor is thrown in, ostensibly for good measure, and this is about all that is known of the company. People, who desire to do business with the newly-formed con- cern, who would like to know where and when it is going to func- tion, who are the men really behind the enterprise, etc., are general- ly up against a stone wall so far as getting any satisfaction or “eather- ing information is concerned. “Dummy” directors or “figureheads” are named. Many companies might also come under the same categ- ory for very few of them are apparently ever seen or heard of sub- sequently. Just why they obtain charters is a problem or 4 riddle. They, possibly, think that they are going to do something or some sweet day be heard of in a certain arena, but, beyond the amount of money paid into the provincial treasury for securing letters patent and what a lawyer receives for his services, nothing ‘tangible results in many instances. There is an expression often heard about going into business “on a shoestring” and some incorporations are evidently formed on this flimsy foundation. This applies to lumber and woodworking bodies as well as others. The mercantile agencies and the press * publish the names of recently incorporated concerns and their head offices. Letters are sent addressed to these high titled organizations, who have no definite habitation and no name recorded with the local post- ve master or any one else. Lack come all communications to the effect “not known,” ‘no such firm,” “never heard of here.” “give number and street address,” etc. The present laws of incorporation seem to Bitte any three or “mythical beings” to institute a “mythical company, with no When persons apply to’ a “pro- directors for data, the latter either pleads crass ignorance or declare that the identity and confidence of clients or The time never seems to arrive to reveal any information regarding the plans, operations or shareholders of the organization, It would appear that increasing onthe of concerns, in practically all lines of activity, are becom. g incorporated for some motive other than legitimate expansion or five LUMBER MAN 47 honest production. The names of numerous enterprises annually appear in the Gazettes and no more is heard of them. Like used automobiles no one exactly knows what becomes of them all. It has been stated that the present system of incorporation is largely a farce, a source of annoyance and distrust to legitimate in- quirers, business interests, supply and wholesale firms and others. The question arises is it not about time for a change to be made and some status, prestige and individuality attached to new bodies other than an artistic or euphonistic corporate cognomen. The head of a large mercantile corporation come chartered concerns or limited liability bodies, letter to the “Canada Lumberman”’ ‘This has been a matter which has worried the life out of us for years. The bulk of the corporations have provision- al directors which are merely “dummies.” In most cases when we investigate such an incorporation, in a week or two after the notice appears, the trail leads off to a law office. We are informed that they have obtained a charter, etc., but that they are acting for other interests and decline to give particulars until matters have progressed a little further. Only where incorporation is converting a partnership into a charter company and the old concern is well-known, do we know the significance of the old charter. “It is. doubtful if any agitation with the Government to compel giving more data with the incorporation, would have any effect. The attitude of provincial administrations seems to be that if any concern gets a charter and does not care to function with it immediately but may require six months or even a year before getting into action, it is per- fectly alright. It is really too bad, though, that this incor- poration matter cannot be improved.” What the manager of the mercantile agency says is correct. Admissions obtained from lawyers regarding the personnel or offi- cers of a company are neither illuminating nor interesting. One of these “figureheads” from whom data with respect to a new firm was courteously sought the other day, replied: ‘This firm is acting as solicitors for the , and my name has been merely used for the purpose of incorporation. I] know nothing w hatever about the company beyond the purely formal matters which have come to my notice during the course of the preliminary meetings. Any information which I obtain, | do not feel free to publish due to the fact that it is secured in my capacity as a solicitor in this office, ele, ete. Enough said! The average inquirer might as well try to break through a barrage or make an expeditious exit from a mystic maze. Frequently, it is “corporate confusion worse confounded.” with regard to said in a recent Courtesy as Vital Business Asset “How much time, money and effort are involved in trivialities, was the observation of a cynic the other day. When pressed for an elucidation of his rather cryptic remark, he deplored the fact that in hundreds of letters sent out, telegrams despatched and requests, verbal and otherwise, there were too many insertions of what he called “‘superfluities.” These, he went on, were the introductory “Dear Sir” when “Sir” would be more pointed, and the concluding “Yours faithfully” or “Yours sincerely” when “yours” would answer the purpose. Then he added there was no necessity vi putting a prefix or an affix to every man’s name, such as “Mr.” or “Esquire.” When asking anyone in your service to perform a ame task it would be quite as easy and reasonable to eliminate “please”, and “kindly” or “thank you,” taking it for granted that these little ac- knowledgments were quite in the order of things and indirectly im- plied. On the other hand there is the effusive and fulsome gentleman, who goes to the other extreme and by an excess of urbanity and fluency, pours out adjectives and gratitude galore. He is altogether too eushing, demonstrative and cordial, so much that one is in- clined to call into question his sincerity or genuineness. There is a happy medium and that is w hat should be expressed in all business relations. The gruff and the abrupt are never wel- come and, on the other hand spontaneous and highly emotional ex- rressions often create a feeling that one, who makes use of them, is not real or true. There is no doubt that courtesy is a great asset in business. It smooths the wheels of everyday transactions and builds up kindler and better relationships: It is an element that is often lacking, and such organizations as the ‘Rotary, Kiwanis and other forward movements, have done much to make commercial trans tions more pleasant and agreeable. The use of the word “please” “thank you,” “pardon” “appreciate” and other like salutations or acknowledgments is not a case of love's labor lost. One can never tell when such bread cast upon troubled a(*- 48 ; CANADA waters will return. Its effects may not be immediately seen but it exerts an influence nevertheless. There is a wide difference be- tween a real and spurious courtesy. The one is innate and ingrained while the other can be instantly detected when the veneer or gloss is scratched. Urbanity is something that everyone can practice and nowhere has it found a more ready expression and general acceptance than in the management of the largest hotels in Canada and the United States, in big executive offices and in high-class theatres and in national service organizations like the Bell Telephone Company, particularly on the part of the lady operators. It will be noticed that the men, who are regarded most highly in the lumber arena, are those who are uniformly kind and consider- ate, and, in addition to integrity and worth, are thoughtful of others. Courtesy illuminates the intercourse of life, whether it be with a baron or a bell boy, a capitalist or a chauffeur, a president or a ped- lar. It is not a garment donned for the occasion; it is not a mere as- sumption or sudden appropriation but is natural and honest. Like many a worth-while possession in the material world, it is free from adulteration. As one authority puts it, courtesy costs nothing but a wish to be kind, and, being so cheap, it should be plentiful. It is a commodity that is always quoted at its fact value—frequently at a premiun brings regular, recurrent dividends in service and satisfaction. Closer Co-operation in Trade Relations Trade relations between wholesalers and retailers in the lum- ber arena is chiefly a matter of goodwill. Besides the inevitable differences of opinion which constantly arise between buyers and sellers as to the quality of stock, there is the vexed subject of the limitations of the trade spheres of wholesalers and retailers, parti- cularly in towns and cities. This is complicated somewhat by the operations of a class of men who are neither wholesalers nor retail- ers—peddlers of lumber with practically no cesponsiey. and with- ‘out offices. The limitations of trade are difficult to define absolutely, chiefly because any agreement between representatives of the wholesalers and retailers cannot be made binding on the entire trade. A man is free to sell to whomsoever he pleases and nobody of his fellow- traders can compel him to restrict his customers to a given group. At the same time a great deal can be accomplished in the way of an understanding between the representatives of both sections, and it is in this connection that the spirit of goodwill and compromise comes into play. If there is a determination by each section to insist on what it considers its strict rights, the result will probably be chaos, the development of friction, and the loss of legitimate pro- fits to all concerned. Trade organizations can and do exercise a strong influence in averting and remedying such conditions by mutual concessions and by coming to a better understanding on this and other questions. Why do Older Men Quit Jobs? Why do men of various ages quit their jobs? Is it through un- ‘satisfactory working conditions, not sufficient remuneration, general ineptitude or the restlessness, selfishness or mutability of human na- ture? The subject comes up for discussion every now and then and, at the recent convention of retail lumbermen at Windsor, Ontario, there was one live topic which aroused much interest. That was apprentices for planing mills and factories. One western dealer ex- pressed the conviction that lumbermen did not make their plants sufficiently attractive to the young man, and that when vacancies did occur, the proprietor frequently advertised for experienced help rath- er than boys. Woodworkers would never, he said, solve the problem until they have put themselves into the position of the lads and, give them a chance. Another problem which was debated lately was why middle- aged men quit work. An investigation was conducted by Dr. Kitson, Professor of Psychology at the Indiana University. He made an extensive inquiry into the service records of 2,500 furniture men and: other workers who had quit their jobs. Some of Dr. Kitson’s obser- vations are decidedly interesting and afford new viewpoints of why men of 35 to 45 years make so many shifts. “Those men between twenty-five and thirty-five remain- ed on their jobs for a relatively long average time. This is easily understood, because at this age men are usually rear- ing children and paying for a home, and economic responsi- bilities are pressing heavily upon them.” “As would be expected, there was a still gregter stabil- ity on the part of those over fifty, who realize that they would have difficulty in securing another job.” “Between the ages of thirty-five and fifty the investi- LUMBERMAN | 4 gator did not find the conditions that you would expect at first thought. It would seem that the period of service would increase regularly with:increasing age, Contrary to this, we find that at the age of thirty-five the length of the \ period of service decreases. and reaches a minimum between forty-one and fifty. ‘This means that the last named period Ae seems to be a very critical time when the workers give up their jobs with unusual frequency.” “Does Dr. Kitson offer any explanation of the probable causes of this critical age period?’ was asked. “Ves, he suggests ‘three possible explanations,” I told him. “In the first place, by the time the laboring man reach- es forty, his children are usually old enough to take care of themselves or at least to give material aid in supporting the family, and thus the father may feel a greater degree of free- dom, in leaving one job to seek another. Then, as a man nears forty, he realizes that the period of declining strength is not far distant; and he feels the necessity of providing for | his old age. If he sees no future possibilities in his present; job he may leave it to seek employment elsewhere. |The other explanation suggested by Dr. Kitson is that there are possibly some deep-seated physiological changes within the man himself.” aie In view of the reasons why middle-aged men leave their in-— dustrial jobs, it would seem to be good policy to put forth some added effort for holding them at work, says one authority, There are several things that might be done to accomplish: this. A vigilant eye should be kept on the men who should be watched for any sign of restlessness or irritability. When these symptons of the critical age appear, they should be considered with a great deal of care. An- other remedy suggested is that men might be given a change of job > within the plant, added responsibility, more money or some goal to > work for, such as the promise of a better position in the future, It has also been proposed that a prize might be offered iby industrial es- tablishments to everyone, who is 50 years of age and yet has been in the service of the company for, at least, 15 years. . It is declared that, unless something like this is done, that — ichanges will still go on constantly among older employees. It is fmportant for the continued stability and strength of the ordinary industrial establishment that middle-aged men should be retained in the service for their wisdom, weight, counsel and skill. The subject is one that is well worth thinking of and might be — a co-related issue with the other one, already mentioned, of secur-— ing and training apprentices for planing mills. The Wonderful Growth of Famous Tree The Redwoods of California exist nowhere in the world but on the Pacific Coast, from the southern border of Oregon southward to about twelve miles below Punta Gorda, Monterey County, Cali- fornia’ They form, in reality, a narrow forest belt, always within — the influence of sea fogs, and rarely extending more than twenty or thirty miles from the coast or over 3,000 feet above sea level. California Redwood shares with the sequoia or “Big Tree” of the Sierras, the distinction of being the oldest living things in the world. It grows to gigantic size, being from 200 to 300 feet in height, and ‘from 12 to 15 feet in diameter. In fact, in some cases the treés have a diameter of 20 feet and over at their buttressed bases, and attain a maximum height of nearly 400 feet. These species are as a rule very long lived. Several trees have been felled that were — over 2,000 years old, while some had weathered the storms and 4 droughts of thirty centuries! Great sawmills have been built to convert these huge Redwood trees into lumber. Some of the logs weigh as much as forty tons and — must be split by dynamite before they can be handled in ‘the mills. | Nature has been so lavish in her gift of Redwood timber that it will take all of the mills now in operation from 60 to 100 years to deplete the supply, although a large part of this reserve is today commercial- ly inaccessible. And by that time, intelligent handling of the for- ests, which is already being applied, will provide a second cutting, for the Redwood stump never dies. It lives to raise a new family that a new family that grows around the stump as “Shoots” or “Sprouts,” which grow rapidly to merchantable size. The trees of today stand in family circles of three to five trees, showing plainly that centuries ago they were mothered in the same way. Propaga- tion by seed is unnecessary. Redwood forests are immune from fire. Moreover, after the trees are felled, trimmed and sawn into logs, the tops, branches and undergrowth are given a chance to dry and are then set on fire to get rid of the bark and give a clean forest floor for removing the logs. Redwood logs lie in this hot fire until it consumes the “slat or rubbish, yet they do not burn. CANADA LUMBERMAN 49 Will Science Show Way to Prepare Wood for Human Food? . It is refreshing to note that the legislators in the Canadian House of Commons are beginning to wake up to the value and im- portance of Canada’s forest resources, says the Quebec correspondent of the “Canada Lumberman.” It would appear from the short dis- ~ cussion which took place in the House last month that the members _ were altogether startled over the great devastation by fire than any other agency. The insect plague, which has done and yet destined to cause more destruction than the forest fires, was not even men- tioned. The great necessity of conservation was not even thought of, though it is an all-important question. Here in Quebec where the greatest precaution is being taken by the department of Lands and Forests to guard against destruction by fire and a constant study _ being made to cope with the insect pest, the question of conserva- tion is also preached without much apparent success. Canadian lumbermen, discussing conservation of the forests with _ your correspondent, point out that there is little or no forest con- servation these days because the letter and spirit of the law is violated by the permissions given the big interests with a pull to cut and recut whenever they so desire. If the government desire to propagate and enforce a law of conservation of the forests, the -‘lumbermen say .the Government must take a determined stand lagainst the granting of permission to the big interests whose motto is—“To-day we live. Those who come after us, must take care of themselves.” Scientific Importance of Wood If the federal and provincial legislators in Canada had given their time and thought to the valuable importance of the forest resources ' of Canada in the past, Canada would, without doubt, havé to-day more scientific men and methods engaged in the Canadian forestry industry, and not one branch of a tree would be wasted. Though it may seem almost incredible, there is a fairly sound basis for the belief that science will yet show the way to prepare wood for con- sumption as human food before many years have passed. Floyd W. Parson, the well-known scientific authority, in a re- cently published article on the progress of science, makes the state- ment that the American forest service is delving into the problem of nutritive properties from wood. insist that it is entirely reasonable to expect that wood cellulose will Some of the chemical experts © one day be converted into starches that will be capable of being assimilated by the human body. So much has happened to astonish the peoples of the world, in recent times, that we are prepared for the thrilling news that our chemists have made it possible to utilize our forests as a source of food supply, not only for livestock but for human beings as well. The outlook is that from now on science will make life one unceasing revolution.” Out on the American Pacific Coast, scientists are experimenting in the manufacture of a high-grade paper that is made from the stems and leaves of Swiss chard, a plant that matures in three months. The Swiss chard yields a high percentage of cellulose, and the paper produced is equal to the finest Japanese parchment and is particularly adapted for engraving and drawing as well as for book ‘paper. New Kind of Artificial Wood Hundreds of waste materials, which formerly had no uses, are now being employed in the manufacture of valuable products. A mixture of sawdust and ashes is now being utilized in the United States to make a composition which is a splendid substitute for cardboard and wood. The sawdust and ashes are treated chemically and the dry powder which results is run through presses. Boxes made from this composition are not only washable but are water- proof and fireproof. cardboard or as hard as oak, and, it is said, will neither shrink nor expand. Investigators in Australia see an opportunity to utilize the large quantities of mountain green available in their country in the making of newsprint. : Scientists are beginning to realize the great and valuable pro- perties in forest resources and it is about time that Canadian legisla- tors in the Federal House of Commons and Provincial Legislatures should come to devote their attention to the vast value of Canadian forests, and encourage in the Dominion scientific forestry and chemical researches in wood as well as forestry protection, by con- servation, prevention of fire and insect ravages, etc. The Quebec Department of Lands and Forests is making great headway in forest protection but still lacks a school of scientific chemistry for investigation into the possibilities already outlined. Getting Ready for Imperial Forestry Meet ] Four or five matters of interest to the lumber trade were dis- cussed at a meeting of the Executive Council of the ‘Canadian Pulp & Paper Association held in Montreal recently. ; Ellwood Wilson, of the Laurentide Company, was appointed to represent the Association at the Imperial Forestry Conference, to be held at Ottawa during the summer. Mr. Wilson will appoint his own associates. A grant of $1,000 was made to the Woodlands section to assist the development work of the section. 2 The Executive endorsed the resolution passed by the Canadian Lumberman’s Association at its annual convention, asking the Do- minion Government eo enact permanent legislation pertaining to the manufacture and sale of oleomargine in the Dominion of Can- ada so that the Canadian people will not be reprived of a healthful and nutritious food which is at present manufactured under the in- spection of the Dominion Government. ? It was decided to send to the Government a protest against the _ proposed removal of the Forest Products Laboratories from Mon- _treal to Ottawa. : _ G,. Piche, chief forester of the Quebec Government, explained _ to the meeting the scope of the paper-making school proposed to be established by the Government. The Executive, after hearing Mr. Piche, endorsed the scheme and appointed a committee to co-operate with the Lands and Forests Department. + y 4 4 Record Building Boom Across Border The United States is experiencing a record spring building boom. Despatches from cities in all parts of the country showed that building permits are being issued on an unprecedented scale. The greatest increase is in apartment houses. Dwellings come second and business structures are a close third. Compared with the first two months of last year, January and February show an enormous increase. Reports indicate that the uildings going up and those about to be constructed, are of a more y ~ expensive sort than those erected during 1922. Figures for the amount of money involved, in relation to the number of permits taken out, are much larger. Building conditions are greatly improved in every part of the country and wage disputes are nearly all settled in the building trades. In Detroit 3,500 permits have been taken out to date this year, involving the sum of $15,012,829. These permits include 73 apart- ment houses with a capacity of 972 apartments. Two $4,000,000 hotels are under consideration. An increase of about $3,000,000 is shown in Atlanta’s building program for two months. This year’s figure is $5,317,669. New York City’s figures for January and February are: Per- mits 9,361, cost $142,305,040. This gives an approximate cost per permit of $15,200. Great number of the permits are for small houses and bungalows in Queensborough. In Philadelphia 2,904 permits have been taken out since the first of the year, involving estimated cost of $17,418,560. This is more than $4,000,000 over last year’s estimate for the same period. About half the permits are for homes. Heavy Building Program in Ontario Quite a little building activity will be created in the various provinces by the carrying out of the work authorized by the present legislative sessions. In Ontario the list is headed by $2,730,695 for education, including grants of $400,000 to the \Western University for buildings; Queen’s University, $210,000; Queen’s University Library, $75,000; University of Toronto, $880,000; College of Edu- cation buildings, Toronto, $100,000. Maintenance of public buildings calls for the spending of $211,972. New construction on the hospitals at Orillia, Whitby and Woodstock has been covered by grants of $125,000, $100,000 and $120,000 respectively. Under the head of “capital expenditure by the Hydro-Electric Power Commission,’ the supplementary estimates carry items totalling $9,850,000 for expan- sion of the Niagara system, This artificial wood can be made as pliable as . 50 CANADA LUMBERMAN According to a report issued by Hon, C. W. Robinson, Minister of Lands and Mines, in the New Brunswick Legislature recently, there were no serious forest fires in the Province of New Brunswick during 1922. This, he attributes to the fact that, when the country was becoming dry during the heat of the summer, heavy rains lessen- ed the menace and together with a well directed fire fighting force enabled fires, which might have been serious, to be controlled and eventually put out. He also pointed out that the fire law, as amend- ed, was favorably regarded by the public and worked out to the sat- isfaction of the department. ‘This law provides that where fires are burning on private lands there is no onus on the part of the Govern- ment to put out these fires. . The responsibility of suppressing fires of this kind:is now placed. on the,County Councillors, who are au- thorized by the act to callout the necessary force from time to time as may be required. There were a few complaints that the new act would be a hardship to the settler, who had to turn out without pay, but, when it is taken into consideration, that the settler was fighting to save his own home and property there was little argu- ment left that he should be remunerated as well. The construction of more fire towers was carried on during the season of 1922! cabins for watchmen. The Minister pointed out that these towers are of incalculable value and recommended that more of them be constructed until the whole province is covered. He maintained that the construction of towers and woods telephones is giving the best value of any form of expenditure for suppressing forest fires, pointing out that they are manned by experienced men who are pro- vided with binoculars. and alidades as a means of determining the size and location of the fire. The telephone also provides a means of speedy communication with the Department where fire fighting crews can be quickly organized and can be rushed to the scene of the conflagration in a very short period of time. Hon. Mr. Robinson emphasized the fact that there never was a time, perhaps, in the life of the New Brunswick forests when greater danger existed than at present and when more was at stake in the preservation of the largest source of the provincial revenue. In another part of his report to the Government Mr. Robinson explained that the falling off in revenue for the year was largely due to stumpage, which, he explained, was caused by the allowance that had to be made on account of a large proportion of timber being in- jured by the spruce bud worm and consequently rated at a lower stumpage. The quantity of lumber cut was very close to the esti- mate of 100 million superficial feet. He expressed an opinion that a better year is indicated and that a large revenue should be forthcom- ing from the Crown lands. He emphasized the fact, however, that there are serious problems to be faced and worked in connection with the administration of the Crown lands. He said he referred particu- Jarly to the calamity that has befallen the province through the de- struction of the forests by the spruce bud worm and the evil of forest fires. With reference to the bud worm “it is a matter of con- gratulation,” he added, “from all that can be learned, the worst of the attacks is over although this injurious pest is still with us but in diminished degree.”’ The Minister of Lands and Mines pointed out that the policy of the department is to encourage the cutting of the dead and dying lumber left in the wake of the bud worm at one half rate of stumpage as fixed by Order in Council, but even at this low rate it is feared that only a small fraction of the total stand attacked will be salvaged. It is estimated that in the vicinity of 215 million superficial feet will be cut on Crown Lands during this logging season and, of this quantity, probably sixty per cent will be bud worm killed and so subject to the half rate of stumpage. Should this be the case, Mr. Robinson pointed out, the revenue from stumpage would work out about $630,000 or a gain of sixty per cent over the revenue from this source in 1922. In a report recently presented to the Department of Crown Lands by the Forest Survey Branch it was shown that considerable progress was made during the year when 484,000 acres were exam- ined and reported on by the Forest Engineers and 588 miles of line run. It was shown that to date 58.7 per cent of the Crown Lands, estimated at seven and a half million acres, have been completed by this survey. : The report showed that the best lands for timber growth were those surveyed during the past season situated on Nepisiguit and heads of the Tattagouche, South East and North West Upsalquitch, All these towers have telephone connections and . where very little waste land is reported. On a track of this locality of 514,000 acres the foresters reported per acre: : 4 cords undersized (to 6 inches) cords merchantable lumber cords dead fir 34 cords hardwood. 4 This shows fifteen cords to the acre or 7,549 superficial feet to the acre, representing nearly 4,000 million feet. This is said to show the great value of some of the Crown Lands in New Brunswick. Figuring, the value of the merchantable softwood lumber alone on the above tract viz. spruce, pine, cedar, fir and hemlock, not including the dead fir, the result would be 1,285 million superficial feet, which at a moderate stumpage of $4 per M. would realize over five million dollars. BM Conditions in the lumber and pulpwood business have improved — to such an extent that the time is ripe to begin active operations was — the message given out recently by members of the Pejebscot Lumber Company. ‘They said that they are planning on getting out 20,000 cords of wood and 5,000,000 feet of lumber in the season of 1923-24. When asked regarding their winter activities they said that heavy snow fall had greatly impeded operations, but now that conditions are improving they are sending another crew into the woods and- hope to get out, at least, two-thirds of their intended cut, With reference to their mills they expect to get the one at Great Salmon River started during this month from which they hope to ship out — approximately 8,000 cords of pulpweod and 3,000,000 feet of manu- factured lumber. Next season’s logging operations will be started in August when they will begin cutting 10,000 of pulpwood on Great Salmon River, and 10,000 on Irish River. 5,000,000 feet of lumber will all be cut on the Great Salmort River. A pioneer United States lumber industry in the city of St. John was recalled recently by the death in Easthampton, Mass., of Frank- — lin W. Pitcher, who for many years was a member of the firm of Jewett & Pitcher. This firm did an extensive business in St. John where the Canadian headquarters were located. A recent report from Edmundston, N. B. said that lumbering was practically at a standstill on account of the lack of snow, while in Kent, Kings and Queens counties activities were discontinued — many weeks ago because of the unusually large quantities of snow. Never before in the history of these counties was there stich a con- trast. In some of the more southern counties over 120 inches of snow fell on the level, but during the storms was drifted into regular hills. Hauling was impossible and operations had to ‘be discontinued, Word was received in St. John on March 19 that Cooper’s port- able saw mill in Blackville, N.B., was destroyed by fire. The mill had been equipped with new machinery and the loss was heavy. Late reports from lumbering districts of the province of New Brunswick continue to be encouraging and the outlook is bright for a busy season. It is anticipated that the United States market will be brisk this spring and summer, because of reports saying that building operations will be extensive. Four lumber mills in Dalhousie are expected to resume opera- — tions as soon as the ice runs out of the river. Two mills in Dalhousie were idle all last year and a shingle mill there has not been run for two years. All three are expected to be in full operation this season, . : The Fraser Companies Ltd. anticipate a busy season at the mill located at Chatham Head as well as at their plants at other points. Despite the extremely hard conditions brought on this winter GLb Uribhd by the heavy snow fall and repeated storms, C. N. Vroom, of St. Stephen, has operated his lath mill at Moore’s Mills and has turned out approximately 2,000,000 laths. It is reported that W. P. Lowell of Galais, Me., is contemplating operating a mill at Rock Gulch. He is said to be planning on saw- ing 2,500,000 feet of spruce and a large quantity of laths. Dividends on both Brompton preferred and common will be — resumed at the earliest possible date, was the assurance given by President F. N. McCrea, M.P., at the annual meeting of the Bromp- ton Pulp and Paper Co. ‘The president, whose first public appear- ance it was after a prolonged illness, was in an optimistic vein, and — . told the shareholders they need have no doubts regarding the future — prosperity of the concern. He had only to refer them to the annual report, that spoke for itself. The prospects were altogether ex- ceptional in every branch of the business, including the two Am- erican subsidiaries, ° CANADA LUMBERMAN i 51 / An ideal farmhouse which meets every rural need a Ee a eT x 0 oy SR saat a meye Aaet ad Dee -_ ' Garage 1 MADTPID ESQ UGS; 2 Shs eestor Se ee 1 iy it | summer Witlcnen \ ‘ ra Garage i ' Roaf i ! “s 10418 Hf ' T ; ai a OS ee ee Hh Ne ees eal | I ' 1 1 ? ch ST ' \ i ' 7 \ eset J \ ; t f] \ Isneey! | F | : eevee | ' | | ' : : | I | I i | gel >i | | I | I | I ! | S+27-6 | Yn te OLArnens + aay womens Uf | — FIRST FLOOR PLAN — — SECOND FLOOR PLAN — / / \ - Se ee hom Lath Ieee — FRONT ELEVATION — ial ——— | r24 HE ores Orck ars E ‘é ~ a NE — LEFT SIDE £LEVAT ION. — — REAR ELEUATION — — REAR ELEVATION — — SUMMER KITCHEN G GARAGE — — — SUMMER KI TCHENd GARG — J.

Mr. Mackenzie announces that he mails this plan free to farmers, carpenters and builders, and states that he is receiving many inquiries from the advertisement which is accompanied by the following self-explanatory reference :— There are several good features to be considered in plan of this house, The main feature is that it is large, 52 : CANADA have. Provision is made for additional woodshed and garage, both under the one roof. There is a full size basement with outside entrance as well as inside. The front verandah is spacious and so constructed that with adding sash, it may be converted into a sun parlor or sleeping porch. The second floor has four large bedrooms and a bath- room, all entering into large hall, which leads to balcony situated over side verandah. There is also a linen closet off the bathroom which is convenient, There is a large attic in this house, with a good easy stair. This attic is very suitable for drying clothes during the winter months, and with the stair entering in the centre, and a window in each gable end, this attic can be very easily converted into two fine extra sleeping apartments. Taking everything into consideration, this is a very well got up plan, and is specially designed for the Ontario farmer. Examine this plan carefully, but bear in mind, though, that this is only a sketch plan. We have large working plans drawn to 4 inch scale, with details, which we supply for $10.00 per set. We have a planing mill and sash and door factory, with very up-to-date machinery. We are specially equipped for the manufacturing of sash and doors, also finish, and should this plan appeal to you, we would be pleased to submit a tender for the supplying of all woodwork, finish, sash and doors, delivered to your nearest railroad station. Fair Hardwood Cut in Southern Counties The London Lumber Co. Limited, of London, Ont., of which I’. E. Harley is president, say there has been a fair amount of stock cut by farmers and small millmen in the southern counties of Ontario, such as Elgin, Norfolk, South Oxford and Haldimand, but not near- ly as much, however, as before the slump in 1920. In regard to values, firsts and seconds and select grades in thicker stock, such as 8/4, 10/4 and 12/4 maple, soft elm and birch, prices have advanced somewhat during the last couple of months. This is, of course, for stock suitable for shipment to the American market and is caused by the demand in the automobile trade, 4/4 sidings in No. 2 common and better grade, 4/4 log run stock and lower grades in 4/4, No. 2 and No. 3 common, however, are not in demand at all and prices have continued very low. This can be accounted for, too, to a large extent owing to the fact that Canadian factories have not been doing anything like the business that some of the larger concerns in the United States. ‘The demand, therefore, as we have found it in the last couple of months, has been with the better grades and thicker stock. ‘here has not been a great deal of winter sawing in the southern counties. The millmen are not holding off sale of what stock they have but seem to be quite willing to negotiate. The reason for this seems to be that they feel that, with conditions as they are, it is better to sell early, no doubt believing that there may be a runaway market.

Midland Firm Buys Biscotasing Mill Pratt & Shanacy, of Midland, Ont., have purchased the sawmill, general milling outfit and timber limits of P. & J. Shannon at Bis- cotasing, Ont. The property is on the main line of the C.P.R. about eighty miles west of Sudbury. The plant has a capacity of about 10,000,000 feet annually, and there is ample piling ground with all the necessary shipping accommodation. The limits comprise four berths, chiefly white pine, on the upper Spanish River, and it is estimated there is enough timber to keep the plant running for the next ten years. As no logs were left over from last year, the mill will not be getting under way until the end of June, and, in the meantime, Pratt & Shanacy are making some extensive alterations, having purchased a double cutting band mill from the Waterous Engine Works Co., of Brantford, which is being installed. The head office of Pratt & Shanacy will remain at Midland. At Biscotasing there is a general store, post office, blacksmith shop, ma- chine shop, etc., which were acquired by Pratt & Shanacy.

Much Hardwood Cut in the East Douglas A. Stalker, wholesale lumber dealer of Sherbrooke, Que., says things are progressing very prosperously in the lumber line in the eastern townships. ‘here have been good average cuts of hardwood taken out and prospects for increased business are very evident. The farmers and small millmen have taken out big stocks this winter. As regards pulpwood prices, Mr. Stalker says these are now low but as soon as some water is obtained for the mills which Have been sadly handicapped in this respect for some months, he ex- pects that quotations for pulpwood will strengthen, CANADA LUMBERMAN or w Official photograph taken by the Air Board, Ottawa, of the Roberval Air Station in the Province of Quebec Northern Alberta is Free From Fires In general the forest fire situation at the present time is satis- factory, as far as can be learned from the fire ranger’s reports, sayo Colonel R. H. Palmer, chief of the forest service for northern Alber- ta. In a number of different locations the open weather season fin- ished with ground fires burning in the timber, as a result of the sum- mers conflagrations but during the winter the rangers have beeu § engaged in following up the fires smouldering under the snow and _ digging them out. i The large timber limits owned by General Stewart on Snipc Lake, which lies southwest of the Lesser Slave Lake, are now clear - of fire, while the timber at Sturgen Lake, further west, is also ic- x ported safe. Three men have been engaged all winter in digging oui - burns in the timber on the South Wapiti and Simonette Rivers, _ south of Grande Prairie, and these areas are reported as being unde1 — ; control, Mageau Lumber Co. Will Be Busy : The Mageau Lumber Co., of Field, Ont., in a recent letter to the “Canada Lumberman,” state that their log output this winter will be 75 per cent greater than it was a year ago and they consider the outlook for the lumber trade in 1923 as very fair. They have no stock left over at the present time and that the volume of trade in 1922 was greater than that in 1921. Profits as a rule were better in 1922 than the year previous but the logs of the Mageau Lumber Co. had been carried over from the winter of 1920-1 and cost more than if they had been cut in 1921-2. The new mill of the company, which replaces the one that was burned last year, is about com- pleted and will start operations within a few weeks. Muskoka Wood Going Ahead Steadily The Muskoka Wood Mfg. Co., of Huntsville, Ont., although visited by a fire early last summer cut pretty nearly as much lumber as in 1921, the output being close on to 5,000,000 feet, about one- third of which was hardwood. Owing to the fire and other causes, the company’s stock at the present time is considerably larger than 'it was a year ago. Their log output will be 35 per cent higher than _the previous season. R. J. Hutcheson, head of the company, says that since October prices have been constantly advancing in hard- woods and are still ascending. He considers the prospects for thc lumber trade in the coming year the ‘best since 1920, Wish That They Were The Horse been in Ireland on a business trip, sent from Belfast last month a clipping from one of the daily papers to the “Canada Lumberman,” with the pertinent observation,—“Some of our Toronto timber pends will wish they were the horse.” _ The reference is headed “A Scotch Horse’s Half ’un,” and reads: After swimming for over an hour in Dundee Harbor a horse was eed on toa barge with block and tackle none the worse of its ex- It was given about half a pail full of whiskey when rescu- ed, , and taken to a stable in a float. Thousands on the quay witness- ed ‘the strange spectacle. J. G. Levie, of W. & J. Sharples, Limited, of Quebec, who has Howe Lumber Company is Organized H. E. Howe, Lieut. Col. R. M. Beckett, W. A. Home, F. W. :Cot- ter, A. O. Bureau and A. E, Guillemette are associated in the forma- tion of the Howe Lumber Company, Limited, of Three Rivers, which has acquired from the city of Three Rivers a saw and planing mill with about seven, acres of yard room: situated along the C.P.R. tracks. Mr. Howe was formerly manager of the lumber department of the Belgo Canadian Pulp & Paper Co., of Shawinigan Falls; Lieut. Col. Beckett and Mr. Home are members of the firm of Dobell, Beckett & Co., of Quebec, for whom Mr. Cotter was formerly man- ager at Montreal. ; The Howe Lumber Company, Limited, will conduct a general wholesale and retail lumber business and will also be open for or- ders for re-sawing and planing lumber in transit. They expect to have the mill in operation about the Ist of May. Predicts Consummation of Lumber Standardization Herbert Hoover, Secretary of Commerce, predicted the “cer- tain consummation of the vital standardizations and simplifications in lumber,’ in a telegram to A. C. Dixon, President of the West Coast Lumbermen’s Association, at Seattle, Washington. Mr. Hoov- er had been invited to attend the annual meeting of the West Coast Lumbermen’s Association in Seattle. The text was: “The progress made at the recent Chicago meeting of the Consulting Committee of the Central Lumber Standardization Committee, indicates certain consummation of the vital standardizations and simplifications in lumber. Please express to your association the thanks of the De- partment of Commerce for the constructive work of the representa- tives of the Pacific Coast lumbermen in basic suggestion for equali- zation of grades, recognized nomenclature, and for “their contribution to a definite and satisfactory settlement of lumber size and dimen- sion standards. — Montreal Retailers Hang Up Signs The members of the Montreal Retail Lumbermen’s Association are now displaying in their offices two large cards, one in English and the other in French, stating: Montreal Retail Lumbermen’s As- sociation. We are members of the above Association, and as such, we are pledged to purchase our gaods from recognized wholesalers and manufacturers only. At a special meeting of the Montreal Retail Lumbermen’s As-- sociation a vote of sympathy was passed to E. Gohier, on the death of his father, E. Gohier, of the firm of E. Gohier Fils, of St. Laurent, P.Q. The deceased was at one time mayor of St. Laurent. Record Logging By Sturgeon Falls Man J. E. S. Martin, of Sturgeon Falls, Ont.,; contractor for George Gordon & Co. Limited, of Cache Bay, Ont., has just completed his contract, having cut and hauled seventy thousand pieces of pine logs on Temogami waters, with an average of forty men in six months. The average haul was a little over one mile, and every- thing with the exception or about ten thousand pieces, was hauled over grade. Mr, Martin has been in the business a long time and says it was the heaviest timber that he has ever had anything tuo do with, being very rough, second growth, bull sap white pine and averaging a little over forty feet to the log, Doyle rule. 54 CANADA LUMBERMAN What the Lumber Trade is Doing in Canada The Welch Lumber Co., 2219 Yonge St., Toronto, will start work shortly on a hew mill building one storey 40 x 50 of brick construction, Doolittle-Russell, Limited, Hamilton, Ont., are contemplating converting the property known as the Peoples Brewery in the north east end of the city into a builders’ supply yard. The work will cost about $20,000. T. A. Paterson, manager of Mickle, Dyment & Son, Toronto, who was confined to the Western Hospital for some time, is making good progress toward recovery and is expected to resume his duties about the first of the month. Bourassa-Clifford Corporation, Limited, Three Rivers, Que., is a new firm with provincial charter to manufacture and deal in all kinds of wood products. Capital $45,000. E. Bourassa and H. Clif- ford, both of Three Rivers are two of the incorporators. W. Rutledge, who lives in East Esquesing Township, Halton County, recently brought an elm log to the Georgetown Lumber Company’s mill that cuts 900 feet of lumber. The log was 18 feet long and is one of the largest hewn in that district for many years. The P. B. Yates Machine Co., of Hamilton, reports that business with them has been yery steady for the past two or three months. They say that they are looking forward to a fairly busy season and are receiving many inquiries “how planers, matchers, moulders and sawmill equipment. Smith, Limited, Levis, Que., is a new firm recently incorporated with a capital of $48,000 to conduct a general lumber business, manu- facturing sash and doors and other wood products. Two of the incorporators are George C. Goodfellow and A, J. Smith, wholesale lumber merchants of Montreal. At the annual meeting of the Timber Holders’ Association of British Columbia for 1923, which was held recently in Vancouver, Mr. S. Logan was elected president; A. F. Sutherland vice-president, and W. McNeil secretary. Mr. McNeil is also secretary of the Tim- ber Industries Council of British Columbia. During the past season there were between 900 and 1,000 lumber camps in operation throughout Ontario, according to estimates made by Alex. R. White, of North Bay, Chief Sanitary Inspector. The number of lumberjacks employed in the bush during the winter is computed at 30,000 when all parts of the province are taken into con- sideration. The Edgecumbe-Newham Co., Limited, of Vancouver, have ap- pointed C. L. Frost manager of their sales department. The latter is a former member of the Frost-Carruthers Lumber Co. and is well known on the coast. It is the intention of the Edgecumbe-Newham Co. to greatly extend activities in the shingle line during the coming year. Projects for the handling of pulp from New York establishments _were discussed at a meeting of the Chambre de Commerce of Sorel, Que., held recently for the purpose of electing officers and discussing. general business. Full assurance was expressed that the deep water of the Richelieu River from the St. Lawrence to the terminal at Sorel, could handle the pulp. Hillyard Burns, a fireman, and J. Donohue, a brakeman, were instantly killed recently near Menzies’ Bay, B. C. when they leaped from a runaway logging train in an attempt to save their lives. Four of the ten cars loaded with logs were derailed and the accident occured when the locomotive on which they were riding became un- controllable on the icy tracks. Thurston Flavelle, Limited, have purchased the B. 'C. E. R. Company’s logging railway between Coquitlam and Port Moody, a distance of some ten miles. The price paid was $50,000. The line was constructed when the dam on the lake was made and the lake raised to give the access to extensive timber limits at present in the hands of the Dominion Government. Some fifty concerns engaged in logging operations in British Columbia are affected by the decision handed down by the Privy Council on Feb. 19, granting the Provincial Government the right to prohibit employment of Orientals in logging on Crown timber lands. According to a census taken two years ago, these companies employ approximately a thousand Orientals. The Abitibi Transportation & Navigation Co. early in March set a record for themselves to aim at for the bringing in of pulp- wood, when between the hours of eight in the morning and ten at night 64 cars containing approximately, 850 cords of pulpwood were delivered to the new slasher at Iroquois Falls, Ont. Five trainloads were necessary to bring in the cordage, ‘Manufacturers’ Wecociationt John J. Miller, of Toronto, who is a member of the Inspection and Rules Committee of the National Hardwood Lumber Associa- tion, was in Chicago recently attending an important meeting of that body. The aninnel convention of the Association will bee held in Chicago on June 13th, 14th and 15th, and it is expected there will be a record attendance. G. S. Hill, of Chicago, assistant-secretary of the N.H.L.A., spent a few days in Toronto recently on business. It is reported that the Whalen Pulp & Paper Co., whose head office is in Vancouver and who have mills at Wood Fibre. Swanson Bay and Port Alice, B. C., have plans under consideration for the manufacture of newsprint. It is believed that an interesting an- nouncement will be made at the forth coming annual meeting regard-_ ing the extension and the financing plans for carrying out the work. — Owing to the large amount of work and business which will come up at the twenty-sixth annual convention of the National Hard-— wood Lumber Association at its next convention in Chicago, it has been decided to extend its duration for three days instead of two which has, heretofore, been the invariable rule. The dates of the next convention will be Wednesday, Thursday and Friday June 13th, © 14th and 15th. The lumber and woodworking industries of the United States represent an investment of $12,000,000 and give employment to al-— most 1,000,000 men. For building construction we use 28 billion feet of lumber every year; for furniture, veneer products, wagons, — automobiles and farm implements more than 1% billion feet; for boxes and crates 4% billion feet; and the demand for railroad ties calls for 334 billion feet. The new planing mill of Graves, Bigwood & Co. at Byng Inlet, is now in operation and rushed with work. The mill which replaces the one which was burned down during a severe thunder and light- ning storm last summer, is complete in every detail and has a capac- ity greater than the old one. The company are now in a position to supply stocks, sorted for use, in dry white or Norway pine. Graves, Bigwood & Co., aes to have their sawmill in operation by May 1. William Chew, of Midland, and for many years engaged in the lumber and pulpwood industry in that town, died in Toronto lately after a brief illness. Mr. Chew was born in York County in 1847 and went to Midland about fifty years ago, he being one of the family of — brothers who were so largely and so ~ closely identified with Midland’s _ pioneer industry, in the lumber industry. He is survived by a widow and one daughter. Edward J. Lee, postmaster at Moor Lake, Renfrew County, passed away recently, He had been in poor health for the past two - years. Mr. Lee was well known in lumbering circles being a con- tractor for the Hawkesbury Lumber Co. Previous to moving to Moor Lake in 1913, he lived for a number of years at Des Joachims where he was employed as a culler with the E. B. Eddy Co. He © is survived by, his wife, five sons and five daughters. B. J. Bagan, of the Vigars-Shear Lumber Co., Port Arthur, re- turned recently from an extended trip through Western Canada and the Coast States as far as California. He found conditions good on the other side of the line and much building going on, in spite of the | fact that material is higher across the border than it is in Canada. The greater part of the construction is confined to the erection of ~ new homes. Mr. Bagan says that the outlook in Port Arthur for an active structural season is very fair. Eric’ W. Hamber, of Hastings-Mills, B. C., was re-elected presi- dent of the Timber Industries Council of British Columbia at the annual meeting held recently. P. D. Roe, president of the Eburne Sawmills Limited, is again vice-president, and W. McNeil managing- director. The other directors are —J. D. McCormack, president of ‘the B. C. Lumber & Shingle Association; H. H. Ross, President of the Mountain Mills Association; M. S. Logan, president of the Tim- ber Owners’ Association; G. G. Johnson, president of the B. C. Log- gers’ Association; J. A. Edgecumbe, president of the B. C. Shingle F. N. Youngman, manager of the Thunder Bay Paper Co., Li ited, Port Arthur, Ont., states that the new equipment which they have installed was completed recently and since that date the com- pany have been producing 60 tons of ground wood pulp daily which is double the capacity of the old plant. The past winter has been a good one for woods operations and there has been a record produc- tion of pulpwood at the head of the lakes. The weather recently has been conducive to hauling and the majority of the pulpwood cut during the winter is now out and on the landings. ; f ‘SpE A CANA DA Several Companies After Pulpwood Limits The question of granting pulpwood and timber concessions of. various companies is proving a live one in connection with the administration in Ontario. Some little time ago the Fort William Paper Co. made application for a timber limit in the Gull Lake area west of Lake Nipigon, covering approximately 3,000 square miles. In return for the grant, the company agreed to employ, at least, 1,000 men for a minimum of ten months in the year at the new plant in Fort William and to use 7,500 h.p. annually, developed by the On- — account in 1921. tario Hydro Commission at Cameron Falls and to pay such bonuses and dues as are to be fixed from time to time by the Government. The company further agreed to double the capacity of the output. The addition is to be completed and the full amount of Hydro power in use not later than December 21st, 1925. Premier Drury stated recently that the Government would not depart from its established custom of calling for tenders and thus having public competition in connection with awards concerning timber limits. Other companies have made applications for con- cessions, among them being the Thunder Bay Paper Co., of Port Arthur. This company is now a customer of Hydro, and at present has no limits. It is asking for holdings in the region east of Lake Nipigon, which does not conflict with the application of the Fort William Company. It agrees to build a large addition to its plant, use 7,000 horsepower purchased from the Cameron Falls Develop- ment, and have its mills in operation six months before the date mentioned in the Fort William Company agreement. A third com- pany, the Nipigon Fibre Mill, is also applying for limits in the dis- trict, and is prepared to sign a similar contract. The granting of all these applications would apparently meet with the approval of the representatives of the district. Zotique Mageau, M.P.P. for Sturgeon Falls, speaking recently in the legisla- ture, emphasized the importance of securing an adequate supply of forest wealth for existing companies in the North. Bathurst Co. Appeals Court Ruling The Bathurst Company, Limited, of Bathurst, N. B., has lost its appeal to the New Brunswick Supreme Court on the levy of the New Brunswick Workman’s Compensation Board. The Board levied $30,000 against the company. Angus McLean, the president of the Bathurst Company, Limited, refused to pay this sum, stating that the Board was too extravagant, and that most of the money levied on manufacturers went for paying salaries and travelling expenses of the Board rather than to compensation for injured workmen and workwomen, The Bathurst Company, Limited is expected to take further appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada, and if necessary, to the Privy Council. Abitibi Company Had Good Year The annual report of the Abitibi Power & Paper Co., Limited, Montreal, has been sent out. The Company, whose plant is at Iroquois Falls, Ont., is turning out nearly 500 tons of newsprint daily. This is the largest unit of its kind under one roof in Am- erica. The company has been in operation for nine years and has in that time made great strides. The record for 1922 shows con- siderably large receipts despite the lower prices which prevailed during that year. Receipts are shown at $9,461,297, as compared with $8,861,810 in 1921, and $10,580,142 in 1920. Expenses were $5,- 846,462, as compared setae $4,183,637 in .1921 and $5,537,009 in 1920. This left a balance of $3,614 837 from which was deducted $929 - 123, representing bond interest and interest on bank loans, and $803,- 391 for depreciation, as compared with a charge of $989,762 to this The foregoing deductions left a balance of $1,882,- $23 applicable to dividends and after deduction of $70,000 for pre- ferred dividends there remains available for the 250,000 common ‘shares the sum of $1,812,323. Payment of $500,000 to holders of the common stock during the year left a.balance of $1,312,323. from which is deducted the sum of $53,177 for adjustment of Government xes, leaving a surplus for the year of $1,259,146.

BENIAH BOWMAN, Minister of Lands and Forests CANADA LUMBERMAN Ohe WOODSTOCK LUMBER COMPANY NE way in which to render efficient service and build a () strong connection is through ability to satisfy the de- mands of customers at short notice. In other words, it is in having the stock or in knowing where to get it with- out delay which establishes a clientele, broadens activities and in- creases turnover. There is no better medium through which American buyers of Canadian lumber can satisfy their wants than by using the columns of the “Canada Lumberman.” A large number of U. S. purchasers of Canadian stocks employ space in “Canada’s national lumber journal” in order to make their requirements known and to have them supplied in the quickest period. To reach the great Canadian lumber field more can be done by means of a widely read, alert, trade publication going directly to the sources of supply and distribution than in any other way. 131 State Street Boston, Mass. # Acquainting the Canadian lumber industry with your wants is sound, aggressive business on the part of American forest pro- duct organizations. Leading concerns recognize this and, instead of the “still hunt,’ they believe in coming out and “telling the world” just what they need. The result of such wide, far-flung inquiries is that all the best and most available stocks are offered. The greater the selection presented, the better the choice. Ex- pediency of service and mutual satisfaction are the natural out- growth of such a progressive proceeding.

Write for Circular and Prices 32 CANADA LUMBERMAN BUY BRITISH COLUMBIA | Red Cedar Shingle The life of a British Columbia Red Cedar Shin gle Roof can almost be gauged by the life of the nail with which the shingle is nailed in place. Judging from available data, the average life of the ordinary steel wire nail, which has been in such common use, is only from seven to twelve years. Some wire nails will last longer, depending upon the condition of exposure, climate and similar features, but considering our climate as a whole, at the end of from seven to twelve years a large percentage of wire nails will have rusted either completely through or so extensively that the first strong wind will complete the work. The shingles that have been held in position by such nails are then free to work down, permitting rains or melting snows to leak through and damage the interior of the structure. Examination will disclose that the fibre of the shingle itself is still in perfect condition, and a leaky roof, in the majority of occasions is due entirely to the use of faulty nails, but the average home owner, placed at such inconvenience, will not stop to reason this out and the poor wooden shingle comes in for more unjust abuse. There are several kinds of nails which experience has proven will give lasting satisfaction, and the aise dealer will advise his customers of these satisfactory nails. A pure zinc shingle nail meets all the demands of durability required. Its principal drawback is its high cost and a slight tendency to bend under careless driving. Galvanized wire nails theoretically are rust proof, and if the galvanized coating is properly applied, and of sufficient thickness, such a nail will last as long as the shingle it holds in place. The life of this shingle roof, properly applied with these nails then is from 40 to 50 years. Pure iron nails, or the old cut or wrought nails are ideal but difficult to secure.

In every Western town it is a common sight to see houses or barns being transported through the streets with a long string of horses as the motive power. But if a contractor was asked to figure on the job of moving an entire village, lock, stock and barrel, he might be excused if he declined to tackle it. Nevertheless, it has been done, and successfully too, without injury to the buildings, save several windows were broken by tree branches while en route. Of late years the development of the automotive industry has made possible the moving of heavy machinery and buildings, such as would have been called impossible a decade ago. This is the story of one such feat, accomplished by the Acme Motor Truck Co., of Cadillac, Mich., which firm, by the construction of a trailer of un- usual size and design, moved an entire village a distance of eleven miles over country roads. of the streets in the town before moving operations - began One Hundred Houses Conveyed Distance of Eleven Miles on Specially Built Trailer Which Made Wholesale Transportation Possible.—Townspeople Take Their Homes with Them to New Jobs.—House Problem was Solved when Mills were Moved.—The Way Shifting Operations were Carried on Successfully.

Lumber Company. A saw . mill, chemical and flooring plant gave em- ployment to approximately 500 men. Jen- nings was a “company town,” for though it had a number of churches, “opera house,” roller skating rink, community house, band stand, jail and other civic buildings, there was but one store in the village, that a general one, carrying all sorts of sup- plies. About every able bodied man in the village was employed in one of the com- pany mills. When the little town, was founded, the unbroken hardwood forest surrounded the village for miles and miles in every direction. A beautiful little lake nestled among the hills, the waters of which were alive with gamey- bass, pike, perch of unusual size and many other varieties of fish. Life there was -almost ideal, and the needs of the inhabitants simple. The Mills Shut Down But as the years rolled past, the stand- ing timber around the village gradually disappeared before the onslaught of axe and saw, until a few months ago the last of the big trees fell and then it was only 38 a question of time when the fires would be drawn and silence fall over the hills. Various plans were considered for the preservation of the industrial life of the happy, contented little village, but all were discarded. Then was born the idea of moving the mills, the families and the resi- dences to Cadillac, eleven miles southwest. Many plans were considered and rejected as impractical before the motor truck and trailer was considered. Finally W. A. Kysor, President of the Acme Motor Truck CANADA LUMBERMAN rate of moving is about two houses every three days, or four per week. There are from 75 to 100 of these residences to be moved. In addition to the thouses both the flooring and the chemical plants are to be moved, which makes this project the most extensive of its kind yet attempted, though a short time ago a complete village was moved a distance of half a mile by horse power, but the plaster was badly cracked in most of the houses, while all of them The big trailer designed and -built especially for transferring the homes of the people. Its construc- struction excited much interest and many guesses were made as to its intended use before the r eal object was disclosed Company, submitted a plan to the lumber company, which was accepted, and the gigantic trailer illustrated was built. The next thing to be considered was the road over which the many big loads would have to pass. About 8 miles of the distance is over the Michigan Trunk Line, the rest of the way over a fairly good dirt road. Considerable work had to be done on this highway, the road bed widened at a number of points, and in all cases-of this kind, heavy planks or timbers were laid smoothly to make a level roadway. A bridge across the Clam River was widen- ed and reinforced. In the village, entire streets were paved with heavy green planks to sustain the weight of the load, as the soil there is largely loose, soft sand. Breakage Practically Nil The houses to be moved vary in size from 24 x 30 to 24 x 40 feet. Many of them have hardwood floors, all are a storey and a half high, well built, comfortable and ar- ranged for convenience. The weight of the houses is from 15 tons up. The windows are left in all of them, and so perfectly was the trailer designed that there is not the slightest jar in any part of the journey, and not a window cracked except when passing through the city of Cadillac the limbs of shade trees along the streets broke one or two occasionally. The 11-mile trip is made in about 4 hours, although loading and unloading and passing through the city required a longer time than that, as it is often necessary to remove the electric light and telephone wires to allow the house to pass under. At the time this article was written the were more or less wrenched and pulled apart. This wholesale migration and the me- thods used in making it possible have at- tracted widespread attention and many magazines have described the methods and machinery used. Description of the Trailer The trailer is constructed with a frame- work of heavy structural steel beams. A channel and I-beam platform, raised 18 inches above the trailer frame, and rigidly connected to it, transfers the load at the forward end of the trailer to a rocking fifth wheel mounted on the truck. This con- struction eliminates all twisting stresses from the trailer proper. The trailer frame is supported at the rear by four steel truck wheels abreast, equipped with solid rubber tires. These wheels are placed under the trailer in ‘such a position that approximately 75 per cent of the weight of the trailer and load is carried on them, making it possible to carry a very heavy load on the trailer with- out overloading the truck used for motive power. The trailer is designed to safely carry a maximum, uniformly distributed load of 35 tons, and the complete unit (trailer and truck) weighs approximately 12 tons. The trailer proper is 24 feet wide by 42 feet long. It consists of five longitudinal members of heavy section structural steel, securely held in place by two main and four supplementary transverse beams. Diagonal cross braces are built irito the frame to distribute the stresses where ex- cessive weaving and twisting would occur. To give rigidity and strength to the struc- ture, the three centre longitudinal mem-— bers are reinforced with large truss rods securely anchored to the members at each end and supported at equal intervals by cast iron struts. The,tension in these rods is equalized by a series of turnbuckles. All frame connections, gussets, ‘braces, ete. “i are hot riveted, the entire frame reflecting the skill of our structural workers. The platform at the forward end of ‘the frame is raised 18 inches above the trailer 4 It is constructed of channels, I-beams a plates, and substantially braced with d gonal members to the forward transverse member of the trailer proper in order — eliminate side sway. This platform is con- nected to the trailer frame by means heavy gusset plates and channels of suffi cient strength to safely transfer approxi- mately 25 per cent of the weight of the — trailer and load to the rocking fifth whee mounted on the truck. Unique Type of Running Gear At the rear the trailer is carried on four cast steel truck wheels, all abreast, equipped with 40 x 6 dual truck tires. The wheels’ are arranged in pairs, each wheel operating on tapered roller bearings sup- ported by a tubular steel axle shaft. The shafts of each pair of wheels are bolted together at the center through a large steel casting which is supported by an extra heavy wrought iron pipe extending through it and at right angles to the shaft. Heavy steel pillow blocks at either end of this pipe support the weight of the trailer and load through coil springs, attached to the trailer frame. This unique construction not only cushions the load, but successful-— ly provides for road inequalities, which is very essential when taking into considera- tion that the distance between the outside wheels is approximately 11 feet. To relieve the springs from driving stresses, a radius rod with flexible connec- tions is provided for both sets of wheels, the forward end of which is secured rigidly to the trailer frame and the rear end fasten- ed to the end of the wrought iron (PaRG through a swivel connection. In order to maintain perfect ea of all four wheels, the wrought iron pipes supporting the axle shafts are tied to- gether by a system of flat bars secured to the trailer frame and so arranged as to compensate for spring deflection. The distance from the top of the trailer frame to the ground is approximately 40 inches when the trailer is loaded. The house is raised by a series of jacks located at each side. The two outside longitudinal members of the trailer which are bolted on, are removed. ‘The trailer’ is then backed under the building and the house is lowered until it rests evenly on the trailer frame. The side members are replaced if it is found necessary, and the unit is ready for its journey. ‘The motive power for this big contract was a standard Acme Model 125 chassis, equipped with a Continental motor, which develops 55 h.p. actual break test. This power, together with a gear reduction of approximately 71 in first speed, easily negotiated a 6 per cent grade, 600 feet long, over a gravel road with a 35-ton load on the trailer. — a CANADA L UMBE RMAN é- Lumbermen Get After Compensation Board © Several Points Raised at Annual Meeting of New Brunswick Association — Officers Elected for Coming Year and Important Issues Discussed meeting of the Lumbermen’s was held on at the annual New Brunswick Association which March 28th in Moncton Brunswick Hotel, was largely attended, representatives being present from various parts of the province. A number of interest- ing matters came up for discus- sion and among them was the application of the Workmen’s Compensation Act in particular as it effects the lumbermen and also as it relates to employers generally. Freight rates and the cost of materials were also talk- ed over and the outlook for the present year reviewed. Angus McLean,- of the Ba- thurst Company, Limited, Ba- thurst, was elected president for 1923; Howard E. Beedy, of the Nashwaak Pulp & Paper Com- The J. W. Brankley, Chatham, N.B. The Retiring President pany, Limited, St. John, was made vice- -president, and Robert W. Mclellan, of Fredericton, was again appointed secretary-treasurer. The Executive for 1923 is composed of Donald Fraser, Plaster Rock; J. l'raser Gregory, St. John; William Richards, Campbellton ; Angus McLean, Bathurst; W. B. Snowball, Chatham; J. W. Brank- ley, Chatham; J. H, Irving, Buctouche; T. H. McEvoy, Dalhousie; George H. King, M.P.P., Chipman, and Howard E. Beedy, St. John. ‘he new members of the Executive are J. Fraser Gregory, of Murray & Gregory, Limited, St. John, and Howard FE. Beedy, of the Nashwaak Pulp & Paper Company, St. John. President Reviews Trade Conditions J. W. Brankley, president of the New Brunswick Lumbermen’s Association, was not able to attend but in his address reviewed many matters of importance to the industry. He sent the following message which was read :— Let me call to your attention that this is the sixth General Meet- ing of the Association since our organization in July 1918. The gathering is unique in that we have not previously had the attend- ance of non-members at our deliberations. I, therefore, desire to extend a hearty welcome to such lumber- men and representatives of the mining industry who have favored us with their attendance today. It is my hope and desire that they will recognize the importance of joining with us to help solve the — difficulties which we jointly have to contend with. Our membe-:- ship is not nearly what it should be. I would, therefore, like to urge a large addition to our numbers as a result of today’s meeting. We need your assistance. In common with others, the lumber industry from early in 1920 suffered heavy reverses. Not until about the end of last year did we begin to see signs of improvement. During this period we have suffered many business troubles, but in the whole the lumber in- dustry has come through fairly well. It is a pleasure to think that the year 1923 promises bette: results than we have been in the habit of expecting for a very long time. While prospects are not altogether clear, I think that good business judgment should show up a nice margin of profit on the year’s business. We have, however, to pencider the onerous extra overhead charges of the Income T'ax and ‘Sales Tax to say nothing of those irritating, exorbitant and ever present Stamp Tax and Re- ceipt Tax, and last but by no means least the enormous burden of carrying Workmen’s Compensation Cost as taxed and administered by the New Brunswick Compensation Board. During the war, and ever since, nearly every business has had its added burden of taxation, But the lumbermen of New Brunswick and our friends in the mining business have no doubt been more wn) heavily hit by the charges and impositions of the N. B. Workmen’s Compensation Act than any other industry. Although our efforts to mitigate this unjust and extravagant tax have not yet been crowned with success, I believe that the very considerable effort consistently put forth during my term of office to secure some mea- sure of relief will yet bear fruit. I would, therefore, strongly re- commend to my successor and the new Executive to continue this good work along lines at present contemplated, which I hope will be fully enlarged upon and explained to this meeting. There are other and further tasks to be taken up for the gen- eral benefit of the industry. In this connection, I ask the assistance and co-operation of all lumbermen. You can assist in no better way than by enrolling as members of N.B.L.A. In “unity there is strength.” The destruction in our forests by the bud worm cannot be remedied, but our gre Fire—in timber lands and plant can and should be euarded against. In this respect a great deal can be accomplished by intelligent and united effort. I hope there will be discussion on this subject, and particularly as to the advisability of fire protection being placed under the control of the limit holders. Then there are further matters to be dealt with relating to stumpage reduction and the adoption of a more equitable scale such as the Quebec scale and methods of scaling. It would take too long, and I would weary you by going into detail on these important subjects. Sufficient, therefore, : to say that these matters have re- ceived the attention of this Association which has pressed for favor- able consideration on the Minister of Lands and Mines and the Covernment. Although we have been promised such consideration these promises have been ignored and we have, thus far, been treated with scant courtesy. Again 1 would recommend that we keep up the good work in these respects. The foregoing are but 4 few of the tasks to be grappled with iby the Association, and I think the mention of them sufficiently points out the necessity of this organization continuing as a live and active ‘body. I cannot close without referring to the late lamented death of one of our esteemed members—Mr. Fred Anderson. Since its or- ganization, and until death silenced his voice, he always took an active and intelligent part in the work and deliberations of this body. His passing is a great loss. We revere his memory and ex- press our sympathy to his sorrowing family and friends. I sincerely regret that circumstances over which I have no con- trol prevent me being with you today. I hope however that you _ will have a large aad successful meeting and my best wishes are Angus McLean, Bathurst, N.B. R. W. McLellan, Fredericton, N.B. Newly Elected President Re-elected Secy.-Treag. 40 CANADA W. B. Snowball, Chatham, N.B~ Member of the Executive with you. I will close by saying that not only do I esteem the honor you conferred upon me by placing me at the head of the As- sociation for the past year, but also that I shall continue to give it my best effort in future. For the first time in a number of years several a rt ae: of the mining industry met with the lumbermen, at the invitation of the latter Association, as the mining industry have been having troubles through the Workmen’s Compensation Board, the same as the lumber operators. Amongst those present at the meeting were:—Messrs. Donald Fraser, Senator Black, Miller, Priest, Burchill, O’Brien, Fenderson, Schryer, Gregory, Snowball, Sinclair, Blackball (representing Stet- son, Cutler & Co.), Richards, McEvoy, Patterson, Holly, Streeter, Beedy, Irvine, McLean, Ritchie, McLellan and others identified with the lumber industry, and Messrs. A. D. Taylor, Wood and Coll re- presenting the mining industry. The Canadian Manufacturers’ Association lately have been active and endeavoring to have the manufacturers, including lumber- men, form a general association under the provisions of the New Brunswick Workmen’s Compensation Act. The question of the lumbermen joining this proposed Associa- tion created considerable discussion at the meeting. It was finally resolved that “we as lumbermen stand apart and do not join such proposed organization but that we continue as our own Association and seek recognition thereof under the terms of this Act.” The New George H. King, Chipman, N.B. Member of the Executive J. Fraser Gregory, St. John, N.B. Member of the Executive F. C. Beatteay, St. John, N.B. Retiring Member of the Executive LUMBERMAN Donald Fraser, Plaster Rock, N.B. Member of the Executive Brunswick Lumbermen’s Association has been asking recognition of its industry under the terms of the Workmen’s Compensation Act for, at least, two years, but so far without success. The Asso- ciation has strong hopes, however, of being recognized at an early date. When such or any organization is recognized under the Act, Section 77 of such Act provides as follows :— “Where any Association shall make rules for the prevention of accidents in the industry or industries represented by such Asso- ciation, such rules shall, if approved by. the Board, be binding on all the employers included in the class, sub-class or group represent- ed by such Association whether or not such employers are members of such Association.” During the meeting it was pointed out that it would be of great benefit to the lumberman of the Association to be in a position to make rules and regulations for the guidance of the industry, as re- ferred to in the section already quoted. Some of the Amendments Desired For several years the New Brunswick Lumbermen’s Association has not been satisfied with the present Workmen’s Compensation Board, and has appeared before the New Brunswick legislature on more than one occasion, asking for amendments covering the following :— “(1) Board to be judicial or failing this that employ- (Continued on page 45) Wm. Richards, Campellton, N.B. Member of the Executive CANAD A LUMBERMAN 41 Economic Side of Farming and Lumbering Correspondent Says that for Every Blessed Thing Farmer Buys Other Fellow Fixes the Price—How Law of Supply and Demand Governs the Value of Forest Products—Some Important Adjustments Will Have to be Made in Relative Cost of Things There are many economic theories and theorists at the present day. There are savants who can tell what is wrong with conditions in the world but cannot themselves remedy the existing state of affairs or correct long-standing abuses. They affirm that all of us are victims of circumstances or hedged in by restrictions and exac- tions which, apparently, we have no power to shatter. In times of prosperity those resident in the city look askance at the solid, well-to-do farmer and perhaps make sinister references to the exorbitant prices obtained by the tiller of the soil for his pro- ducts. Aspersions are cast upon the alleged profiteering of the yeo- man who, in turn, passes the censure on to the capitalist. The _ capitalist tosses it to the laboring man and the latter, not to be out- done, gets after the wholesaler, the middleman or the commission chap, and thus we have a chain of incidents or amimadversion as long as Jacob’s ladder. ; The greatest indoor and outdoor sport at the present day is “passing the buck.” Some may term it side-stepping and others putting the onus on the other fellow. The result is the same. Dodge duty or shift responsibility on someone else, and in case anything goes wrong, be sure you get out before the collapse comes. Follow the lines of least resistance and look out for No. 1, and if the hindmost is not quite so lucky, why he is to be pitied. How often the platitudinous remark is made,—‘‘Oh well! He has only himself to blame, He should have known better.” Makes Plea for Canadian Farmer All this, however, is aside from the economic question of who regulates the prices for the commodities that are bought. Is it the trusts or monopolists, the manufacturer, the wholesaler, the con- sumer, the foreigner, the labor unions, outside competitors or the old problem of supply and demand. Everyone is inclined to believe that his own theory is correct and that he can put his finger on the vital spot. A leading captain of industry, writing the “Canada Lumberman” the other day, drew attention to a phase in ‘business conditions very similar to the point raised by J. F. M. Stewart, of Toronto, in an address before the Wholesale Lumbermen’s Association in October last. Mr. Stewart at that time made a strong plea for the farmer and for increased immigration. In order to lighten the burdens of Canadian taxation, he said that if we could induce two million teo- ple to come to the shores of the Dominion within the next ten years _—and this was by no means a wild wish—it would reduce our per capita debt 20 per cent, would increase our national production 25 per cent and would add to the earnings of our railways 25 per cent. He - maintained that Canada, being a country of enormous distances, must have the cheapest possible freight rates, not only for grain but for general merchandise, and that one highly organized class of labor had no right to stifle the business of the whole country. All this leads wp to another observation made by a well-known captain of industry from the State of Michigan, who, in writing the “Canada Lumberman” the other day on the condition of rural com- munities, said—— “To be sure wheat prices are better than they used to be. Wheat is selling to-day for less than cost, if one figures interest on the investment.” Then the writer proceeds to present some rather startling facts to the advantage of labor and the disadvantage of the tiller of the land. “Yes,” he asserted, “the farmer never seems to realize that his cost is pretty largely attributable to union labor. For every blessed thing the farmer buys the other fellow fixes the price; every- thing that the farmer sells, the other fellow fixes the price. The price of his boots and shoes is fixed by Jabor unions of Massachusetts; his _ clothing by the unions of the cotton spinners, the woolen workers and worst of all the garment makers; everything that is shipped into him or shipped out, the freight rates are fixed by the labor ‘unions. These hogs make everything high that they have to sell and they kick and raise hob if the food is high that they have to buy. The farmer’s coal price is fixed by labor unions, and yet with it all the farmer never seems to revolt and he generally turns in and votes or works with some labor union, fancying that they are pals of his instead of enemies. One of these days the farmer will wake up and these labor union chaps will have to take the same medicine that the farmer has had to take.’ The Relative Value of Wheat Mr. Stewart gave utterance to the same expression when he declared that the farmer was particularly concerned with the pur- chasing power of his wheat. He drove home some pertinent facts by adding that it is not exactly how much a ‘bushel the farmer receives for his wheat but how many bushels of wheat it takes to buy a binder, a suit of clothes, a pair of boots or whatever he may require. Mr. Stewart said “Take the relation of wheat to boots. Some three years ago a reasonably good pair of shoes for the use of the farmer could be purchased for $3.00 or say, four bushels of wheat. The price went up until to-day it would probably be $8.00 or $9.00 or nearly twelve bushels of wheat. Owing to world conditions wheat may be too cheap or, due to local as well as world affairs, footwear may be too dear, but the fact remains that the spread between the value of the farmer’s staple crop and a great many things he has to buy, is too great.” Mr. Stewart pointed out that wheat must go up or commodities go down or, in other words, values must much more nearly approach before the farmer is again a money-maker. Using another illustration, Mr. Stewart referred to the purchase or ‘building of a home and added,— “Take the cost of a house to-day and compare the cost in bushels with pre-war times and conserva- tively it would take three thousand bushels to give the farmer the same home that fifteen hundred bushels would give him formerly.” Important Adjustments to be Made It would seem that the difficulties of the farmer to-day clearly show that there must be an important adjustment as between the profits of the farmer and the cost of living as represented by the price of manufactured goods in which labor is the dominant factor, be- fore a healthy situation is established. And again it would appear that the farming community has as good a right to organize into guilds, federations, associations or what- ever name it may be called, as any other body. Self-preservation is supposed to be the first law of nature, and, while agriculturists have been rather tardy in adopting and recognizing the great get-together movement, they have, at least, manifested their strength and co- hesion in political and business organizations, and hope in the future to have some say in fixing the prices which they receive for their products. While the foregoing thoughts are not intended to be a defence of the farmer, still it must be recognized that the observations made by the persons quoted are worthy of serious attention. Much will, of course, depend upon the viewpoint, whether we are on the outside looking in or on the inside looking out, but the subject is worthy of discussion and analysis. It is hoped that the farmer may, ‘before many months, receive a better price for his product, for, after all, agriculture is the greatest industry in Canada to-day. There are three hundred million acres fit for farming land in Canada, of which one-third is in farm holdings, and only one-sixth is cultivated. Two hundred and fifty million acres await the plough or tractor on the land. The value of the wheat crop in 1921 was $931,000,000, against $962,000,000 in 1922. When wheat strikes a high value then Cana- dian prosperity is at its zenith and all the other articles of business life flow full and free. But What About Lumber Prices? In the matter of organization it has been charged by some, who are not in sympathy with any trade movement, that lumbermen come together and set the figure for their goods. In no gather- ings of associations are prices of lumber ever discussed or fixed. Nothing could be accomplished in this direction because the very Ms ns CANADA LUMBERMAN nature of the great pioneer pursuit precludes it ever becoming any- thing in the way of a monopoly or combination. The industry 1n its scope is one that is globe encircling; its activities are free and far flung and know practically no boundary lines. If a district produces a certain amotint of timber, then could not the producers of that particular species of wood get together and advance the price extravagantly or speculatively? No, They can- not for they have no way of “cashing in” on the receipts or cutting a melon. Why? The answer is simple and direct because within a few hundred miles, there are other woods equally as adaptable, service- able and useful to take the place of fhe timber on which it is sought to create “a corner.” The whole bottom of things thus drops out of such money-making propositions. Prevailing quotations in the forest products arena to-day are governed by supply and demand and regulated in no other way The hemlock and jack pine of Ontario must meet the competition of southern pine, gum, Michigan hemlock and B. C. spruce and On- tario hardwoods are up against those from the south. In this con- nection it is advisable to quote from an address delivered by A. E. Clark of Toronto; former President of the C:l A atthe necent convention in Montreal. Along with other delegates he spoke strongly against a runaway market and speculative values. Reverting to prices on hardwood and the situation in Canada, Mr. Clark drew attention to the fact that all the cut which could be turned out in the Dominion was com- paratively small and had very little or no appreciable effect on prices. He said as far as Northern hardwoods were concerned— (and the same observation may be made respecting softwoods in the Dominion) they could be substituted by Southern hardwoods of which great quantities were produced. The average yield per acre in Canada was about 1,500 feet of hardwoods while, in the South, from 3,000 to 4,000 feet were secured from each acre. Operations could be conducted for only a few months every year in the Do- minion while in the South logging was practically an all the year round proposition. In the Western and other states, transportation facilities are also better by reason of the large number of branch railway lines. If the supply was short in Canada, in six weeks the South could produce enough to meet the deficiency. They were much greater producers than we were and largely regulated the price situation. In view of those circumstances it ‘was a mistake to advance unduly the price of hardwoods or take advantage of any existing shortage which could soon be overcome owing to the rea- sons already outlined. , Quebec Pulpwood Dealers Short of Cars Quebec pulpwood brokers and shippers make the statement that their export trade with the United States continues to be handi- capped on account of the shortage of railawy rolling stock. They say that they have among them contract’ orders for approximately 50,000 cords of pulpwood for shipment to the American paper mills, _ which they are unable to move for want of railway cars. This does not only refer to the filling of orders from the American mills, but, likewise, Canadian plants due to the shortage of rolling stock in con- nection with Canadian railways, especially the Canadian National Railway System. Many freight cars are in the United States which the Canadian railways are having the greatest difficulty to get re- turned. The cold and stormy weather which has affected the Ameri- can railways is another factor responsible for the embargoes. In the meantime the American mill purchasers of the wood are urging the Quebec shippers to move the supply they have contracted for with the least possible delay and are offering a bonus of $1. per cord for im- mediate shipment. It will be remembered that the American mills have been obliged since last fall to manufacture paper from imported pulp. This was compulsory on account of the shortage of water in the American rivers and dams, which held up the wood from reaching the intakes and grinders. ‘These conditions have changed, the rivers are now deeper in volume of water and the mills are making paper from pulp- wood. ‘Truly realizing that their stock of wood will soon be ex- hausted they are anxious to replenish their supply as soon as pos- sible from Canada, which has had the effect of an increased demand on the Quebec dealers who are doing the utmost to comply with their contracts and urging upon the railroads to help them out, with in- different results. In the meantime, the price of wood has advanced to $21 per cord and the Quebec dealers are of the opinion that the figure will reach $25 before next fall. In consequence they are not anxious to sell at present, and the Quebec brokers are buying and storing wood from the farmers in anticipation of this advance. It also appears that the Canadian pulp and paper mills are in the market to buy up consider- the West Coast is concerned. able pulpwood. The Brompton Pulp and Paper Co., have purchased all the wood available along the line of the Quebec Central Railway, approximately 25,000 cords. The Donnacona Pulp and Paper Co. are buying wood in the eastern part of the Province of Quebec, in large quantities, and the Riordon Pulp & Paper Co. are also out to acquire quantities. In this connection the Quebec pulpwood dealers express the opinion that the time is not far distant when the Canadian mills will require such pulpwood supplies that there will be little left to sell to the American mills, a turn of events that is pleasing to the Quebec pulpwood selling interests who do not hesitate to state that they would rather deal with Canadian than with American mills, giy- ing the reason that they obtain better measurements from the Cana dian mills and more satisfactory financial adjustments. The Quebec lumber firms are experiencing the same difficulties as the pulpwood dealers as regards the shipment of lumber to custom- ers in the United States. They have a large quantity of manufactur- ed lumber in their mill yards ready for shipment and are unable to obtain the freight car service for transportation. Their books are crowded with orders from the United States. —— Outlook for West Coast Forest Products Respecting the demand for b. C. products in Eastern Canada, a well-known representative of a leading Coast firm in conversation with “Canada Lumberman” recently, said':—No marked change has taken place in the British Columbia lumber market within the las month. There is every indication that the confident and buoyan attitude, which has ‘been manifest.in the West since the first of the year, will continue for several months. Every tide-water mill is heavily booked with export business. In fact, there is no dearth of business from any market whatever; the important consideration is that of picking the most desirable. The new price list which has now been fairly firm for about six weeks is still maintaining a solid front but this is no indication that the West Coast mills are making exorbitant profits. The ad- vances in lumber have been followed ‘by corresponding advances in log costs and it is still a difficult problem for the manufacturer to keep pace with higher log and labor costs. There are several factors which will serve to indicate that we cannot expect any falling market for some time to come as far as Among’ these is the splendid pro- gram of building that is undoubtedly in sight this year. Then the C.P.R. have completed arrangements for the building of an immense pier which will require four million feet of Douglas Fir and which will take the best part of a year. Together with this there is the big dry dock in the figuring stage which will require five million feet. The railways are still calling for heavy quantities of car ma- terial; Atlantic schedules are still being placed at very attractive prices and the U. S. market is continuing to pay excellent prices for the upper end of the log. Fortunately the alarm manifested) a month ago in regard to a runaway market, has passed. The severe storms which have taken place all over the continent, especially in the East and North, have stopped retail buying for a few weeks and the manufacturer has been enabled to catch up with some of the business on the books. This, together with increased production, is serving to maintain a. check on any abnormal tendencies that the market might ‘be inclined to show. : The much heard of talk about the first six months of this year being good business is beginning to spread itself to talk of the entire year being favorable to everyone concerned. It is sufficient to say that there are many conditions appearing at the present time which show that the lumbermen are only on the threshold of (better ‘busi- ness and that a good twelve months is ahead of them. — The most noteworthy feature of the market at the present time is that stability can be seen in every direction and the danger o prices becoming too wild has passed. Better Outlook for Pulp Wood Demands The past year was the most active in the pulpwood camps of Ontario of any since 1919-20, which was a boom period in the forest products industry. The great amount of wood taken out betokens a prosperous year. All the paper mills not only put in many camps themselves but made arrangements with contractors, logging firms and others for an unusually large cordage of pulpwood. The “wood pile” of some of the big paper organizations which was built up on a high-cost product, has in the process of production and liquidation been pretty well used up, and now far-seeing concerns believe that contracts may ‘be safely made for fresh supplies as it is doubtful if operating expenses will be any lower than they are at the present period, The trend is all-in the opposite direction. : CANADA LUMBERMAN _ facturers Institute.

Sig ages pee Oty pre O54 a papnd Wim age 7 » How Hardwood Men Would Conserve the T umber | Vastly Better to Conserve what Stands To-day than to Waste and Endeavor to Make it Good by Replanting Trees and Other Reproductive Measures \ An interesting statement was recently made ‘before the United States Senate Committee on Forestry at one of its sittings, by Lan- don C, Bell, of the Committee on Forestry He set forth in convincing terms what the haitdwood lumbermen desire, the principal features of a policy they believed wise and for the accomplishment of which he said, they would gladly do their share. As outlined by Mr. Bell the propos- itions were as follows :— They believe a wise forestry policy would contemplate as one of its principal features adequate protection of the timber areas from fire. They are of the opinion, however, that some of the mea- sures often proposed in respect to fire protection are wrong; for example, compulsory burning of brush, leaves, laps and combust- ‘ibles is often urged. It is, they contend, indisputable that the land would be better protected, and the flow of water better controlled and reforestation would take place much more rapidly in the hardwood areas, however, it may be elsewhere, if the brush and leaves and laps were not de- stroyed, but were allowed to rot and enrich the land. ‘The rate of growth of trees naturally depends to a considerable degree upon the fertility of the soil and the continuous presence of moisture. It is doubtful if any available information as to the rate of growth of our original growth hardwoods, would fairly reflect the rate of growth which would be attained by new growths of trees in terri- tories “protected” from fires by the destruction in advance of the ‘combustible materials upon the land, in the shape of leaves, brush, laps, and so forth, which should furnish a cover and a part of the sustenance and fertility to speed the growth of trees. Fire should be prevented and controlled to the fullest extent possible, but the natural cover and means of fertilization should not be deliberately destroyed, ‘beacuse perchance serious destruction might result if the fires should accidentally occur, or stockmen or others deliberately set them out in order that better grazing might be had. It would seem the wiser course to provide more strict patrol to protect the forest areas, and more severe penalties for deliberately or negligently causing fires. It is believed that a system of fire patrol would be the :wisest and most effective way of preventing forest fires, and if in addition somewhat stringent laws were enacted, designed to prevent and punish the causing or permitting of fires purposely or negligently, the maintenance of entirely satisfactory conditions for reforestation would ibe assured. Should Leave the Seed Trees They lbelieve that sufficient seed trees should be left uncut. Usually enough are left of the unmerchantable to make it unneces- sary to leave any others. When, however, sufficient are not thus left, others should be selected and left uncut. The lunmtbermen do not believe that it would ‘be wise or desirable for trees of all vaireties to ibe left, but they should be confined to a limited number of the better and more valuable varieties, best adapted to growth in the particu- lar hardwood section. The question, however, of the practicability of private reforest- ation is an economic problem. The real question is, can private owners of cut-over hardwood lands continue to own them, and adopt measures in the expectation that reforestation as a private matter will ever be successful economically? Probably 75 per cent of that problem is involved in the question of taxation. They helieve that the Federal Government should on a large scale, acquire and assume the expense of reforesting lands suitable only for growing hardwood timber. to the extent of depriving private parties of the right and opportun- ity, if they desire, to keep their lands and reforest them. If and when changes in economic conditions become such that private reforest- ation of hardwoods may be profitably engaged in, the Government should leave the field of such endeavor, so far as possible, to be occupied ‘by private owners. They believe that the same policy ought properly to be pursued to the extent found practicable ‘by the states. It is suggested also that a similar course may (be found wise of the Hardwood Manu-.__ But this policy should not go. and practicable in some instances for municipalities. In such in- stances the enterprise need not be confined to lands suitable only for growing hardwoods. The question of accessibility will be of importance in connection with the use thereof for parks, game pre- serves and refuges. They believe that those states whose forests have been depleted in the past should give, as state enterprises at the state’s expense, special attention to reforesting the areas suitable only for growing trees. They believe that forest resources would be greatly conserved by the result of careful scientific research with a view to improving manufacturing methods through improved machinery and manufac- turing processes, This field of investigation and experimentation is one which while primarily for the lumbermen is such that they individually cannot fully exhaust it. It is almost equally impossible for the lumbermen collectively to deal effectively with the subject. It is one which it would seem is peculiarly of the cha:acter to which the government through some appropriate instrumentality should give attention. There are those who believe that in the years to come more and more hardwood lumber will be produced by the small circular saw- mill operating wood lots, or comparatively small units of stumpage. The quantity produced by the circular sawmills at the present time is no inconsiderable part of the total output. Saving in the Kerf of Saws The ‘band saws cut a kerf about 1/8th of an inch thick; the cir- cular saws have a kerf of about 3/8ths of an inch. In sawing any given quantity of logs, there is therefore a difference of about 25% in the amount of lumber produced dependent upon whether the logs are cut iby a band saw or by a circulat saw. Undoubtedly for every dollar the government might spend in research work on such sub- jects, it would secure greater returns than if invested in any other conceivable way in connection with the entire subject. It is vastly better to ‘conserve what we have, by elimination of waste and better utilization, than to waste and endeavor to make it good by replanting trees and other reproductive measures. No more important enterprise has ever been undertaken by the lumber industry within its entire history than the development now going forward with such splendid progress and promise under the guidance of the Central Committee on Lumber Standards. The achievement of its purposes in respect to simplification and stand- ardization including better grade rules and a standardization nomen- clature, in other words, the development of a universal and scien- tifically conceived system of Lumber Standards, it is ‘believed will result in the saving of more lumber in a decade than will be produced by reforestation processes in a century. It is estimated that in the hardwood industry alone a_ better gerade formulation, universally accepted would result in an annual saving of at least 500,000,000 feet through waste elimination alone. . Students of the subject have estimated that by such means we can save 1,000,000,000 feet of hardwood lumber more easily and cheaply than we can grow 100,000,000 feet. Improvement in Manufacturing Methods The lumbermen favor, and believe that there should obtain a helpful, co-operative attitude toward them on the part of the govern- ment; that they should ibe aided and encouraged in their efforts to secure adequate statistical data in order that manufacturing pro- cesses and protection may proceed intelligently and economically instead of blindly and wastefully. With the vast number of species of hardwoods (well over 50 of prime importance), and the great variety of thicknesses and sizes into which they are cut, it is impossible to fit production to con- sumption without knowledge of the volume of production, stocks, consumption and market conditions. These things are vital to the intelligent conduct of business. A wise policy in this regard will have a most important ‘bearing upon the immediate subject, for in the absence thereof enormous quantities of timber that ought to be conserved and utilized will be put into forms of production not needed and eventually wasted. While the government has shown a fine spirit of co-operation be} ' * , a4 | CANADA LUMBERMAN toward the farmer, the cattle raiser, and others respecting grain, cotton, cattle, etc., and aids them in every possible way by collecting atid supplying at public expense currently and promptly the statis- tics respecting these things, yet not only does it not. do anything of the kind for the lumber industry, but its policy has been one of critical opposition to the lumbermen’s efforts to supply this effi- ciency by their own co-opertive efforts at their own expense. The policy of the government in this regard is indefensible and wrong, and should ‘be corrected. It is not only hurtful to the manu- facturers, but detrimental to the interest of consumers and the public, making waste and lack of economy unavoidable and inevitable. The hardwood lumbermen favor a broad constructive, national forestry program. They desire that the question be settled right and be settled definitely now so far as this is possible. There is no adequate knowledge of the subject as applies to our conditions. It cannot be said that in the hardwood territories the subject is further advanced than the inception of the experimental stage. “They thelieve that a policy which may embody impractical plans and oppressive measures, such as are included in some of the sug- gestions which have been made from time to time in the past would carry within itself the seeds of its own failure and destruction, and the interests of the industry and the nation be irreparably injured thereby, and real constructive accomplishment indefinitely delayed. At its annual meeting in New Orleans, the National Lumber Manufacturers Association adopted a resolution or declaration of principles, and statement of its views on this subject of a Forestry policy. The hardwood manufacturers approve entirely the action taken, as expressive of their views and what they lbelieve to be the views of lumbermen generally. Lamentable Story of Timber Shortage The annual report of the Department of Crown Lands of Nova Scotia was recently submitted to the legislature. The net surplus for the last fiscal year was $33,453.45. Against the total receipts of $41,341.21 is charged $7,887.76 for salaries, surveys, refunds and other expenses. In a recent editorial a Halifax paper says that there is appar- ently little to do now except express regret that provincial admini- strations during the last fifty years have practically wiped out the timber estate of the province as an asset of value and a revenue pro- ducer. If the interests of the people had been served, it adds that the timber areas, would now be competing with the coal areas of Nova Scotia for first place as a provider of revenue. Notwith- standing the teaching of history, the warnings of far-sighted men and the suggestions which must have at times appealed to the suc- cessive governments of the province, inprovident methods prevailed and bit by bit the asset of the people was given away until there is practically nothing remaining. The climax of the whole matter was reached last year when an announcement was made that the re- maining Crown Lands were withdrawn from either lease or sale. It seems, however, that what Crown Lands remain are of no use either for settlement or lumbering. The paper concludes,—“This is a lamentable story of the dis- sipation of one of the splendid heritages of the people of Nova Scotia, and nothing is being done to replace it.” Makes His Office Advertise His Business There are many retailers in Ontario who know Mr. Robert C. Restrick, the present head of the Restrick Lumber Co., of Detroit, Mich., one of the most aggressive and alert retail concerns in the City of the Straits. Mr. Restrick has always taken a deep interest in the affairs of the Ontario yard men, and, at the annual meeting of the South-Western Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’- Association, held in Sarnia a couple of years ago, he gave a forceful address. He also was one of the party of 150 on the midsummer outing up the lakes last June with the Ontario, Michigan and Ohio yardmen. Mr. Restrick’s firm has just completed a handsome new office in Detroit, and every type of wood the company has for sale is em- bodied in the interior finish. When it was decided to erect the structure the members of the organization declared that the office building should be an advertisement of its lines of ‘business and an edifice was planned to set forth the beauty finish and attractiveness of the various woods sold. Thus the office is proving, not only a _ good publicity medium but a working factor in the sales policy of the firm. ; Many people have a very vague and indefinite idea of what certain woods look like and there is nothing like the eye for con- veying impressions or, for that matter, closing business transactions. _ The Restrick Lumber Co. believed that it could do some propaganda of its own in this direction as it knew that when a builder or archi- _ tor, the builder, the manufacturer and all users “who want everlast- 1921 1920 E Lumber Cut Lumber Cut _ Mills M feet Mills M feet > United States) = ae anes 15,731 26,991,798 15,978 29,878,360 WISInINEWOMN wwe pk pono 547 3,834,314 584 5,524,509 (owmisiania., «aaa eee ee 341 3,215,110 271 2,719,761 IMNISEMSSMD Oso oe noose oe ce 920 2,081,520 648 1,677,469 Oregon te > eee eee 390 2,026,502 €59 3,316,098 WBesals: 4 thre PAD uIDUN RO eiarteaet 301 1,502,333 232 1,177,436 INN NEL Guan eons 883 1,397,180 903 1,108,188 id Per cent of Per cent of Se * distribution distribution es Wellow “pire: See nee ace ae 41.4 11,165,788 300 8,964,313 IDOE Tie Goon us oo toes 17.2 4,642,827 23.3 6,956,683 IOalkihls..c eee 5.9 1,597,435 6.2 1,853,580 Wihtite Pine Tee apercm & 4.7 1,269,697 4.6 1,377,327 Western yellow pine .... .... 4.6 1,244,583 7.6 2,270,898 Hemlock ...... ae. 4.4 1,195,414 5.6 1,685,320 tect spoke of “clear oak flooring” or “No. 1 quarter-cut,” he had only a hazy conception of what it meant. The firm was of the opinion that it would be of great assistance to contractors, builders and others if a permanent display was made where every patron might easily become acquainted with the different materials and the various finishes. . The Restrick Lumber Co. has always believed in original and effective advertising. It has used readers in the daily papers and employed billboards, street car labels, direct-by-mail and other live methods. It has followed this policy from the beginning and it is one which has carried weight. Be Nearly forty years ago the late Charles W. Restrick, possess a few hundred dollars, the title to some vacant lots, a sympathe helpful wife and an unlimited supply of determination, decided t he would get into the retail lumber game. He found trade rath tardy at first and his complete delivery equipment consisted o wagon and a half blind horse which remained idle in the stabl good share of the time. In the winter, after a heavy fall of sm young Restrick would drive “Blind Betsy” around and about yard. This made it appear as if the firm was doing a whale o business. “The resourceful lumber merchant soon became ta | about and one person told others how well Restrick was getting along. ; oa a Impressions are lasting and their influence spread. What is the — result? To-day the Restrick Lumber Co. has a fleet of ten motor ~ trucks and thirty trailers which are kept busy serving the users of — wood products in Detroit and environs. This article, however, is not intended to be a write-up of the Restrick Lumber Co., but to serve merely as an illustration of what force, foresight and con- centration will accomplish when linked up to effective advertising and intelligently and industriously applied. Mr. Restrick, Sr., passed away some years ago and the business is now conducted by his sons, who know how to make good use of © every medium. Early in March the grand opening of the new office was held. There were eats, music and smokes, and everybody came — for lunch, including architects, builders, contractors and other lum- — ber buyers. An outstanding event was “no speeches.” The day — before the reception a “Restigram,’ which closely resembled an ordinary telegram, was sent out to the entire mailing list of the firm. On this message were the slogans—‘‘Restrick Certified Lumber,” — “Lumber of Lasting Quality,’ “Speedy Service to All Detroit.” It was also pointed out that lumber service was given to the contrac- ing quality as well as price.” Production of Lumber in United States Washington and Louisana led in lumber production in 1921, ac- cording to a recent report of the Department of Commerce, which publishes preliminary statistics compiled by the Bureau of the Census in co-operation with the United States Forest Service Mississippi is third on the list and Oregon, which was second in 1920, takes fourth place in 1921. It is impossible to tell from the preliminary report whether this is due to actual conditions or whether the reports for the southern states are more complete. The. total lumber cut, as reported by 15,731 miles in 1921, was 26,991,798 M feet, compared with reports from 15,987 miles in 1920 with output of 29,878,360 M feet. Comparative figures from reports follow for the six leading states and species: A minister, with two lovely girls, stood entranced by the beauties — of a flowing stream. A fisherman happened by and mistaking the minister’s occupation, said: “Ketchin’ many, pard?” ' sir, l am, a tishermot mene Bs “Well,” replied the fisherman with an admiring smile at the — girls, “you sure have the right bait.” ‘ a CANADA Grow Rock Maples on Every Hillside During the debate on tle Budget in the New Brunswick Legislature at Fredericton on April 6, Hon. C. W. Robinson, Minister of Lands and Mines, gave an address teeming with sound. suggestions as well as valuable information, especially on crown lands. The Minister said that there are about five billion feet of green softwood, twelve inches and above, and about eight billion under that size on Crown lands. For hard- wood the corresponding figures were four billion and six billion. He explained that as a result of the bud worm blight there were left standing about five billion feet on ‘Crown lands and three billion on private lands. Speak- ing about Scott Guptill’s pro- posal to sell the Crown Lands 7 for $50,000,000 or less, the minis- ter said he would not like to give his opinion on the matter at this time. True, the revenue now received, he said, was not equal to what the interest might be on the sale price, but he expected that it would soon reach a million dollars a year. He pointed out that the lumber industry was one of the basic elements in the prosperity of the province and he was glad to say that the outlook in the. busi- = was brighter. In answer to some criticism offered by Mr. Fawcett, leader of the Progressive party, he said, he was glad that the member had “complained that the stumpage rate was too low as the government some day might wish to increase it. He pointed out that the lumber- “men of the province had undoubtedly faced serious conditions in recent years. It had been pointed out that the stumpage rate in Quebec was only $1.60, while in New Brunswick is was $4 and $5. When the present government took office, he said, the rate was only $1.50, but they had gradually increased it it $5. Last year when conditions ‘became serious the government, on his recommendation, had made a reduction and he felt sure that no mistake had been made. He also informed the members that the total cut in the province ast year had been 191,000,000 feet or 4,974,910 pieces. The average was now about thirty-nine feet to the log and all under sized logs were included. The total cut of lumber during the last eighteen years was 4,046,000,000, or an average of 225,000,000 per year. These _ figures were based on the records of the Crown Land office. The Minister said that Professor Pulling, of the University of New Brunswick, had suggested that the department in a small way take up reforestation and he was ready to make a recommendation that such be attempted. The department in this matter would co- operate with the University. The forests, he said, largely replanted themselves but there were tracts, notably along Kane’s River, where teforestation could be tried. Soft woods would be planted and also rock maple. The latter was one of the most valuable native trees from the viewpoint of agriculture as its products could be handled at a season when other lines of farming were quiet. Instead of “sheep on every hillside,” he would adopt the slogan of “Rock maples on every hillside.” He knew personally of one farmer who secured a greater income from the rock maple trees on his property than he did from the rest of his farm. He remarked that “instead of chasing rainbows and trying to bring into the pro- vince industries which were foreign to it, he would direct attention towards those activities which were associated with the natural re- sources of the province. He pointed out that it was estimated that he maple products of the Dominion of Canada had a total of twenty million dollars. There is no reason, he added, why two or three illions of that amount should not go into the pockets of the people of the province. on. C. W. Robinson, Fredericton, Minister of Lands and Mines Where Forest Assists to Reduce Taxes In Switzerland 87 per cent of the forest area is held under town Or some other form of communal ownership. In France, 23 per eent of the forest area is so held, and in Germany 15 per cent. In Alsace-Lorraine, nearly two-thirds of the towns own communal Many of the communal forests in Europe have been under such Qwnership, with continuous protection and management for many LUMBERMAN 45 generations, in some cases for centuries.. The city forest of Zurich, Switzerland, is a classic example. This forest, called the Sihlwald, has an area of 2580 acres (about four square miles). The known history of this forest runs back to the year 853, since which time it has been under some form of protection and management, and has continued to, supply forest products for the people. The records of the forest show that in 1460 the appointment of two foresters was authorized. It is interesting to note the comparative antiquity of forestry in Europe, in contract with the youthfulness of this profession in America. Prof. R. S. Hosmer, of the Forestry Department, Cornell University, records that the mill in the Sihlwald employs 30 men, and that 120 more are employed in the forest itself, so that this forest alone comfortably supports a small community by itself. A city woodyard is maintained to supply citizens with fuel. Under normal conditions a substantial profit is derived from the forest, which assists to reduce taxation. - Lumbermen Get After Compensation Board (Contnued from page 40) ers be granted the right to nominate one member of the Board, employees another, and the chairman to be appoint- ed by the Government. “(2) Where the Board refuses to recognize any Asso- ciation, such Association may appeal to the Lieutenant-Goy- ernor-in-Council. “(3) Failing the granting of Number 1 appear to be al- lowed from the decisions of the Board on questions of law and fact, but in all appeals on question of fact the appellant to give all reasonable security and, if necessary, be penalized to prevent unnecessary or vexatious appeals. “(4) Board to publish all their decisions and findings and all their payments in the Royal Gazette, “(5) A minimum charge of $50.00 per year to be im- posed on each employer. “(6) Contribution to be made by employees on the basis of a percentage of their pay-roll to cover first aid, medi- cal and hospital expenses for each calendar year. “(7) Doctors to be compelled to file monthly accounts with the Board for service performed under the Act, other- wise their claims to be barred.” It was decided to have introduced a bill, endeavoring to em- body in legislation as many of the foregoing headings as possible. Several members stated that they hoped to have the proposed bill in this respect not only presented at the present sitting of the legis- lature, but to have, at least, a part of the requirements enacted into law as amendments to the present Act. - The lumbering and mining interests are, it is said, and have been the heaviest assessed under the Act of all the industries in the pro- vince, and lumbermen particularly complain that the burden has be- come practically unbearable. While the mining men have no Asso- ciation as such, it is probable they will unite with the Lumbermen’s Association for the purpose of amending the Compensation Act, since their industry is more closely similar to the lumbermen’s than any other. The proposition which manufacturers generally, including the lumbermen, favor in that the beneficiaries under the Act—the employ- ees themselves—should make a fair contribution to the fund, was strongly adhered to at the meeting. The lumber industry is now be- ing assessed four per cent and other industries, it was said, were assessed much less, many of them paying less than one per cent. Other subjects talked over at the gathering were freight rates and the growing cost of materials, but no action was taken with re- gard to these matters. New Lumber Trade Directory of Coast The fifth edition of the “A.B.C.” British Columbia Lumber Trade Directory and Year Book, which is issued by the Progress Publishing Co., Limited, Vancouver, has just been published. It is a well printed volume of 215 pages and gives a complete alphabetical list of all the lumber, logging, shingle, woodworking, lath and other organizations in the Pacific Coast province. The Directory is a con- venient reference book for everyone interested in the lumber trade of Western Canada. “Who’s Who in the Lumber Trade of British Columbia,” which is an extensive alphabetical personal index, is admirably arranged. A great deal of other data is also furnished on the customs tariffs, the forest act of the province, the principal trees indigenous to B. C., their ranges and uses, statistic of shipments and production, the B. C. logging scale rates imposed by the Timber Royalty Act, etc. There is also a comprehensive directory of mill and camp supply houses. 46 CANADA Retailers’ Association for Quebec Enthusiastic Meeting Held in Montreal Attended by Dealers From All Over Province A Province of Quebec Retail Lumbermen’s Association will ‘be formed. This was decided at a meeting held in the Queen’s Hotel, Montreal, on April 5th. The object was to discuss the advisability of forming a provinciol- wide association, the meeting being convened by the Montreal Lumbermen’s Association. Fifty-two retailers and sash and door manufacturers from all parts of the province attended, these including some of the largest dealers in the province. J. P. Dupuis presided. The idea of enlarging the scope of the Montreal Association is to secure co-operation between the dealers, it being felt that an asso- ciation of this character afforded means for an interchange of views, for friendly intercourse and for promoting generally the interests of the retailers. The suggestion for forming an association was very cordially received. It was decided to divide the province into eleven districts with the head office in Montreal. Each centre will, it is pro- posed, from what may be termed a branch, wth representatives on the general board of directors. A committee was appointed to draft by-laws and regulations, prepare reports, and to submit a report to a meeting to be held in Montreal on May 8th. The following are the eleven districts with their representatives— Quebec City, Messrs. J. O. Chalifour and J. M. Desureau; Three Rivers, A. Dube and C, Burrill; Victoriaville, J. E. Giroux (Victoria- ville) and A. A. Caron (Nicolet); St. John, V. Trahan (St. John) and J. B. Carneau (Marieville) Cowansville, J. B. Comeau (Farn- Ham) and RB. Stevens (Bedford); ‘Screl, J. Sheppard and! J. De Sheard. ot, Jerome, La Ba Pareniai(St. Agathe) and 2. Meunier (St. Jerome); St. Hyacinthe, L. P. Morin and J Surprenant; Sher- brooke, J. O. Asselin (Bromptonville) and J. G. Ewing (Mel- bourne); Valleyfield, A. Cossette and J. O. Clermont. These with the Montreal district, already organized, make up the eleven. The gentlemen named will undertake organization and propaganda work in their districts and report to the meeting on May 8th, when it is probable that tht district directors will be appointed, : Annual Outing of Ontario Retail Lumbermen The Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association will have their annual midsummer outing on Lake Ontario and down the St. Law- rence through the far-famed Thousand Islands from Thursday July 5 until Monday July 9. The well-equipped steamer “Cape Trinity” of the Canada Steamship Lines, has been chartered for the occasion and will leave Toronto on the afternoon of July 5 for an enjoyable cruise. It is expected that there will be accommodation for about 250 and that the retail dealers, their wives and families will take advant- age of the outing. Visits will likely be paid to Niagara Falls, Rochester, Kingston, Brockville, Gananoque, Presqu’ Isle, Twelve O’clock Point, Trenton, Belleville, Picton and other places. One of the features of the trip will be a sail through the Bay of Quinte and the Murray canal. The entire expense of the midsummer jaunt will be about thirty-five dollars for each patron. W. B. Tennant, of Toronto, is the chairman of the Excursion Committee, and the other members are W. E. S. Savage, Mimico; John Irvin, West Toronto; J. B. Van Dusen, Brockville; J. B. Mac- kenzie, Georgetown; M. R. Bogart, Chatham; W. M. Tupling, Orillia, and S. L. Lambert, Welland. The itinerary of the trip will be published later. More Barnjum Forestry Prizes Awarded Prizes have been awarded in the Barnjum $2,000.00 prize con- test for the most convincing arguments in favor of prohibiting the export of unmanufactured wood from Canada, as follows: First prize for the best essay in English, $500.00, went to J. R. Black, 33 Broadway Avenue, Ottawa. Second Prize $250.00 to Jas. R. Dickson, of Dominion Forestry Branch, Ottawa. Third prize $150.00 to H. C. Scott, 5 Golf Avenue, Pointe Claire, P. Q. Fourth prize $100.00 to Fred. Barnes, Belgo Paper Company, Shawinigan Falls, P, Q. For the best essay in French, $500.00 went to Avila Bedard, Quebec, P. Q. Second prize $250.00 to Albert Trempe, Quebec. Third prize $150.00 to Eugene Rivard, Quebec. Fourth prize $100.00 to Henri Roi, Belgo Paper Company, Van Bruyssel, P. Q. Mr. Barnjum states that the judges had a most difficult task in awarding these prizes owing to the very high order of the papers submitted, and that everyone of the contestants whether successful in winning a prize or not can feel happy in the knowledge that they have done their country a great service in assisting in the assembl- LUMBERMAN to in the districts of Sudbury, Nipissing, and Temiskaming. It was aa ing of the great mass of arguments in favor of prohibiting the ex- port of unmanttfactured wood that are contained in these 549 essa sent in from every Province in the Dominion. They not only co tain page after page of unanswerable arguments in favor of an e bargo but also picture the story of forest devastation and forest cc ditions in each district from British Columbia to Cape Breton.

The Court Refuses to Grant Injunction In a judgment given in the Superior Court, Mr. Justice Brun- eau, Montreal, decided that an order for an interlocutory injunction could not be given by the court where the law provided another re- course, and he, therefore, dismissed the petition made by E. M. Nich olson in the case of E. H, Nicholson against S. Ouellette. One of the objects of the petition was to obtain possession of a quantity of lumber over which the action had been taken, and Justice Bruneau pointed out that under the circumstances the petitioner should have taken a seizure in revendication, the aim of which would be to recover possession of the goods in question. The petitioner stated that he had taken action against the tet dant to force the latter to deliver to him 1,489,736 feet of lumber in satisfaction of the sum of $104,281.52, which had been paid to a Bank of Hochelaga, in excess of value of lumber already delivered, — The case was to be heard in March, but since the inscription of the action the Bank of Hochelaga had taken possession of the wood and was selling part of it, petitioner declared. . Justice Bruneau decided that the petition was not founded in law and dismissed it. The petitioner had also asked for an interlocu- tory injunction, and this petition had also been dismissed, the costs being reserved. Winder the circumstances Justice Bruneau decided that the peti- tioner would have to pay the costs of both petitions. Mr. White Makes an Explanation Editor, Canada Lum'berman :—. In an article written by me, entitled “The Contract Physician,” and appearing in the March 15th edition of the “Canada Lumber- man,” I cited statistics covering the disease smallpox, and mentioned that the preponderance of cases developed during the years ‘ae stated the large French-Canadian population resident therein seeme iy to have provided us with most of these cases. i. I wish to call the attention to those of your readers with whot I am not personally acquainted (and who may not be conve with my views on such a subject) that it was not—and never been my intention—to cast any reflection upon -the French-C dian popluation resident in the districts mentioned. Indeed, actions during the past ten years should bear witness to this fact I have the utmost regard for the French-Canadian populati of Ontario and believe my work among them has demonstrate: most friendly feeling. I wish, therefore, any readers who may h seen this article to be assured it is my desire to serve this national in the same just and sincere manner as in the past—and I believe that this feeling is reciprocated. 7 Yours faithfully, Alex.

John C: Kaine, M.L.C., a well-known lumber and pulp- wood dealer, of Quebec, P. Q., passed away on April 1, after a short illness, in his 68th year. He was one of the best-known citizens of the ancient capital and had a_ successful business career, Mr. Kaine was ‘born and educated in Quebec and com- menced his career, when quite a young man, in shipping circles when the wooden sailing ves- sel and the timber trade of the port of Quebec was at its zenith. He also became a steamboat pro- prietor and operated sea tugs and ran passenger and freight steamers in the coasting trade. Of late years Mr. Kaine was in- terested in the lumber and pulp- ‘ tion. Previously, he was _ con- The late Hon. J. C. Kaine, Quebec tractor for the St. Lawrence buoy service, and carried cn this work for many years between Quebec and Montreal until the federal government purchased the steamer “Shamrock,” which the deceased had built at Quebec especially for this service. It is still in the’ government service. Mr. Kaine built a number of other vessels; some he sold and others he operated. He had a keen general knowledge of shipping and transportation matters acquired iby experience and business acumen, and through his entire career, was highly esteemed for his integrity of character. Personally he was a man human in every respect, genial in disposi- tion and ever ready to help a friend. In 1894, Hon. Mr. Kaine was chosen ‘by the electors of Quebec West division to represent them in the local legislature, and the following year was invited by Sir Lomer Gouin, then Prime Minister of Quebec, to accept a seat in his Cabinet as Minister without portfolio, a position he occupied up to the time of his death. On the death of Hon. John Sharples, chief of the Quebec lumber firm of W. & J, Sharples, who was in his life- time a member of the Provincial Legislature Council, Mr. Kaine was appointed by Sir Lomer to the vacancy in the Upper House, and continued to remain a member of the provincial Cabinet. As a member of this Executive body, he was greatly esteemed ‘by his colleagues and when Hon. L. A. Taschereau assumed office, he in- vited Hon. Mr. Kaine to remain in his ‘Cabinet. Mr. Kaine was twice married, and is survived by his wife and two sons, B. J. Kaine, superintendent of Lights and Buoys in con- nection with the Quebec agency of the Federal Marine and Fisheries Department, and Mark H. Kaine, lumber and pulpwood dealer of Quebec. Annual Meeting of Hardwood Institute The annual meeting of the Hardwood Manufacturers Institute will be held at the Blackstone Hotel, Chicago, on May 10 and 11. The Institute was organized in June 1922 as a national body of hard- wood manufacturers and will celebrate its first annual, a period of about eleven months’ development. ‘The membership has grown from 70 to about 300 hardwood producers and it is said that the ranks now represent well over one-third of the hardwood lumber manufacturers in the United States. Among those, who will deliver addresses at the annual gathering will be C. H. Markham, president of the Illinois Central Railway, who will talk on organization. He is well known to the lumbermen throughout many parts of the United States, Newsy Jottings in the Lumber Industry The Melrose shingle mill at Crescent Beach, B.

A Fifty-Fifty Proposition Salome Sun Capital is simply accumulated labor in a negotiable form, and labor is nothing but negotiable capital in an accumulated form. In a way, both are the same and you can’t hurt one without hurting the other. When a man goes out and labors a day for one dollar or five dollars, he is a laborer. Aftes supper he dolls up and goes out and spends that dollar or five dollars—and then he is either a capitalist or a damn fool, depending on what he spends it for. Equality between labor and capital is and always must be based on the funda- mental principle of good wages for good work and good work for good wages. It’s a fifty-fifty proposition. 48 CANADA Giada Jumberman J ounded 1880 The National Lumber Journal for Forty Years Issued on the Ist and 15th of every month by Hugh C.

The iumber trade generally is looking forward to a good year, partly based on the expectation that the demand for constructional purposes will be, at least, equal to that of 1922, with the probability that it will considerably exceed those requirements. Recently, how- ever, the situation has undergone a change which may have a con- siderable influence on the amount of building carried out. There is a decided tendency for the prices of a large number of commodities essential to construction work to advance. Structural and reinforced steel are two notable examples of materials which have risen in value, and readers are aware of the higher prices commanded by all classes of lumber. According to Douglas Bremner, president of the Montreal Builders’ Exchange, “general increases are looked for in the prices entering into construction work following a period of abnormal price depression. Indications point to the fact that building costs are past rock bottom, and will continue to increase for some years yet.” This may be an extreme view, but there can be no doubt that build- ing will cost more than last year, not only on account of the higher prices of materials but also because of the greater outlay for labor. Men in the building trades are putting forth demands for more money and will probably obtain some increases in wages. Will this higher cost affect building? ‘The consideration of cost is a very important factor in determining whether construction work of all classes shall be undertaken, and experience shows that men with capital will not invest in bricks and mortar when the cost gets to a point which is generally held to be excessive. Work of an urgent character is only then contracted for. It remains to be seen whether the price of materials and labor will reach anywhere near that point this year; if it does, then there is almost certain to be a drop in the demand for lumber. Mr. Bremner evidently is of the opinion that there will be no developments of this character, as he anticipates a very good build- ing season, particularly in houses. He does, however, make one reservation—“The only thing that can spoil a very good building year here now would be unreasonable demands on the part of labor. We have been conducting a pretty strong educational propaganda as to the advisability of building now, and the people, who have building work to do, have responded well. If the trade unions start in now to make demands that scare off the building public, they will simply spoil their own ends. But so far as I can see, the posi- tion is fairly clear that there is not going to be any difficulty, but a general getting together is desirable so that when. conditions are LUMBERMAN favorable, the building contractors and) workers can co-operate to work for a busy year.’ The building trade is an important, although not the* most” im- portant, user of lumber, and if general commercial conditions im- prove, this would probably offset any diminution in the call for ‘lumber for construction purposes, due to generally higher building costs. At the same time, it must not be overlooked that there is a chance of this outlet for lumber not proving as satisfactory as ap- peared earlier in the year. The housing requirements of the people are still urgent, but.they will only be adequately met, when those who are inclined to invest in this form of enterprise, can build at a price which will allow of a fair return on their money. What is The Real Power of a Nation? The growth of the pulp and paper industry is of considerable interest to many readers, who are as a rule more concerned with the supply of pulpwood than with the finished product. The indus- try has expended at a great rate, but the end is not yet in sight. The newsprint companies in particular are adding to their produc- tive capacity, while there are plans for new mills. Price Bros. have a heavy programme of extension; the Belgo Company, of Shaw- inigan Falls, have just added a new machine and ordered another; the Bathurst Company will commence operations in August; the. Backus-Brooks Company have contracted for a 100-ton per day ma- chine; the St. Lawrence Paper Mills, Limited, of Three Rivers, and the Fort William Paper Company, are now on the market with their newsprint. Besides these, the Manitoba Pulp and Paper Company propose to erect a 150-ton mill on the Winnipeg River in order to utilize the McArthur limits. Then the Armstrong-Whitworth Com- pany have a very large scheme in Newfoundland, besides which there are one or two indenmite plans in Canada. It is true that a considerable amount of this new tonnage will not be available for some months, but it looks as if Canada has, or will have in a comparatively short time, reached the saturation point. Such a programme naturally involves further serious in- roads on the pulpwood resources of the Dominion which admittedly © are not being replaced at anything like the rate at which they are being used. : Then our exports of pulpwood are increasing—a branch of trade which Mr. Frank Barnjum and others would prohibit in the interest of the conservation of the national resources. In this con-— nection an observation by Mr. Floyd W. Parsons is of interest. “The power of a nation,” he says, “lies chiefly in its natural resources © of essential raw materials, and not in its man-power strength.” If that be so, then so far as pulpwood is concerned, Canada is diminishing and not increasing her power. The rise of the pulp and paper trade has affected the lumber business to a considerable ex- tent. According to G. C. Piche, sixty per cent of the year’s cut in the Province of Quebec is of pulpwood, which, of course, means that large numbers of logs, which formerly were converted into sawn lumber, are now being used as pulpwood. The proposed addi- tions to the facilities for making papers will probably increase this — percentage. The Varying Cost of Producing Lumber The cost of producing lumber is always a subject of much in- terest and varies considerably according to different localities. In no two successive seasons do expenditures for cutting, hauling, driving, — towing, rafting, sorting, etc., run the same. So much depends upon the availability and efficiency of labor, prevailing rate of wages, the outlay for camp supplies, the amount of snow, rain, heat, etc., trans- portation and other contingencies, that no definite figure can be given. — Of course, in the case of hardwoods the outlay is much heavier than — softwoods and again much depends upon the nature of the timber, the © average diameter of the logs, the distance from the mill and the facili- ties of equipment in the way of saws, edgers, trimmers, yard distribu- tion, etc. / A couple of years ago the “Canada Lumberman” furnished some figures on the cost of logs and of milling, the latter term being inter- preted to cover the cost of converting logs into lumber in the saw- mill, and these varied almost as widely as do the estimates which are received on various jobs from woodworkers and others when tenders — are invited. A uniform standard cost system, which would, at least, be basic is a desideratum in all forest products operations. At the recent an-— nual meeting of the Woodlands Section of the Canadian Pulp and © Paper Association a splendid address on “cost accounting” for log-— ging operations was delivered by L. W. Campbell, chief accountant of the Laurentide Company, Grand Mere, Que. A plan was submitted — and endorsed by a committee appointed for that purpose and this CANADA plan has appeared in booklet form. Several large companies have in- stalled systems based on this system and all are well pleased with the esult obtained. There is, no doubt, great waste in woods operations and there has been difficulty in the past in obtaining accurate data, Bist with co-operation, insight and method the difficulty will be solved. In fixing the price in lumbering operations there must be taken ‘into consideration the percentage of different grades that will be obtained from the timber sawn. In the virgin forest where trees indigenous to certain localities are cut up, the percentage runs very much higher than on second growth timber or where there is an as- sorted collection. However, a fair average has been struck so far as certain northern woods are concerned. and a late edition of the “Am- erican Lumberman” furnished an interesting table which is well worth cutting out and preserving. Here it is :— ?

Ae Pee ted. ae 55 “% ~~ United Action to Check Forest Fires The province of Quebec government is determined to take every pessil ic means to protect the provincial forests this spring and sum- “mer against their destruction by fire. Hon Honore Mercier, Minis- ter of the Department of Lands and Forests, and G. C. Piche, superin- tendent of the Forestry Service, have given a great deal of their time and attention for several months to the question of conservation of the wooded resources of the province. One of the principal conclu- sions they arrive at, was that the woodlands must under every and all circumstances be guarded against the possible devastation by flame. In this regard they concluded that, in order to secure perfect protec- tion, the bush will be closed to all trespassers from April, and no man or party of men, unless authorized and the possessor of a departmen- - tal pass, will be permitted to enter the woods. Those, who are ac- corded a pass, will be furnished with instructions to guard against the possibility of fire, and will be held responsible for their actions while in the woods. The Taschereau Government, alarmed at the enormous loss in the timber limits during past:years through the cause of fire, general- ly traceable to the careless hunter, fisherman, new settlers and others, have given the question of protection of the provincial forests their _ most careful consideration. The department, responsible for this work, is that of Lands and Forests, presided over by Hon. Mr. _ Mercier. He is determined that no effort will be neglected to put _ into practical effect the wishes of Premier Taschereau. To conform 5 with the plans adopted by the government, it was decided to enter _ into negotiations with the provincial governments of New Bruns- _ wick, Ontario and the State of Maine for joint co-operation for the _ protection of the sylvan resources of these respective provinces and state. G. C. Piche, superintendent of the Quebec Forestry Service, has _ already had satisfactory interviews with the representatives of the province of Ontario and the State of Maine, and before the publica- tion of this article, will have interviewed the representatives of New _ Brunswick and New Hampshire. All the independent forest fire protective organizations in the Canadian provinces as well as Maine and New Hampshire will also be consulted. It has been decided to _ double, and, if possible, triple the forest rangers this spring and sum- mer to guard against the possibility of bush fires. The government also decided to organize.a forest ranger school, the first of the kind to be organized in Canada, and have appointed H. Ray, a well-known forestry engineer as director. This school will open on April 15 to allow forest rangers, wishing to qualify, to start their studies which will include forest conservation and protection, Betc. A Movement That all Should Push In a short time the forest fire season will be upon us again with all its horrors, its destruction of real and potential wealth, its cost of property and also, perhaps its toll of human lives, writes Fred Brown of Fort Frances, Ont. .All authorities on forestry and most people engaged in the conversion of raw forest products into the finished product such as lumber, lath, shingles, pulp and paper, posts, poles 1. UM BEAR MM AN 49 and ties are agreed that Canada’s supply of available timber is get- ting dangerously low. During the year 1922 about four thousand fires claimed 1,300,000 acres of forest. Such claims of the fire demon should not only be food for profound thought but it should arouse in every Canadian citizen a desire to prevent a recurrence. The daily press as well as lumber journals, pulp and paper maga- zines and forestry publications and others have given their space and time unstinted to the teaching of the gospel of conservation. The people of Canada, who own and are trustees of about eighty per cent of Canada’s remaining and rapidly decreasing forest wealth, can obtain still better results in their fight against the careless use of fires, matches and tobacco in the woods if they enlist the powerful help of the pulpit all over the Dominion, the church being recogniz- ed as a most powerful and important element in moral education. The schools and school teachers must be approached to lend a help- ing hand in educating the coming generations as to the stupidity and criminality of forest fires caused by human carelessness in virgin forests, and especially in second growth, from which our future sup- ply must eventually come. Stop forest fires of all descriptions and Canada will become one of the most favored and prosperous nations on earth; keep on burn- ing and in less than a century Canada may share the fate of China. Which is it to be? If I Were a Retail Lumberman By J. D.S. I hope to be one some day. I would take advantage of everything possible in the way of publicity and display. I would see that I had a large sign on my fence, a neat attrac- tive office, a dry, well laid out yard, uniform piles and a well- arranged stock. I would make my premises as inviting as possible and impart to everything an air of orderliness, thrift and prosperity. I would avail myself of the advantages of a display or service room in which samples of everything that I carried in stock or sold would be shown to the best advantage. I would allow prospective homebuilders to come in and browse around. I would place a courteous attendant in charge of this room, if I had not time to look after such details per- sonally. I would also secure a reliable mailing list from the city directory, the assessment roll, telephone book, contrac- tors, builders and others, and would mail regularly, illustra- ted literature showing certain plans of houses, garages, verandahs, sunrooms, built-in features, pergolas, hardwood flooring, roofing materials, front doors, interior trim, etc. I would write to manufacturers who issued literature, asking them to send me several hundred copies of their ad- vertising matter and to have my name and address printed plainly on each leaflet, booklet, folder, etc. These I would also despatch to a carefully selected list and follow up every live prospect. I would have a booth at the fall fairs and the various exhibitions, such as own-your-home expositions, etc., which are often held in different towns and cities to show the lines of goods: manufactured in their midst. I would furnish the newspapers with timely informa- tion on the building situation, the trend of lumber values, the outlook in production and distribution and also items in reference to who were putting up new warehouses, stores, barns, garages, dwellings, etc., I would co-operate with the press to the fullest possible extent. I would avail myself of every legitimate means of pub- licity that I could. I would seek to cultivate the community spirit, to spread abroad the gospel of contentment, happiness and peace by infusing into all my publicity plans the spirit of homebuilding. I would point out that the man who owns his home has a substantial interest in the city or town in which he resides. He generally evinces civic pride, plants a garden, beautifies the lawn, sets out trees and does much in every other way to impart an air of prosperity and go- aheaditiveness to the community. I would read carefully the trade papers and note what others are doing. I would follow up any practical sugges- tions or timely pointers and seek to incorporate in my own business everything that was likely to extend the sphere of my operations, enlarge my list of customers and gain the attention of new residents. I would seek to strengthen the bonds between myself and those with whom I did business so that, when undertaking anything in the building line, they would come to me from force of habit, a sense of satisfac- tory service and a conviction that I would deal with them fairly, honorably and on a mutually satisfactory basis. : 30 . CANADA LUMBERMXUN Aggressive New Lumber Company Formed The Thurn-Maxson Lumber Company with offices at 213 Citi- zens National Bank Bldg., South Bend, Ind., has been formed. The members of the organizatian are George O. Thurn and Ray B, Max- son. A general wholesale hardwood lumber business will be con- ducted dealing in Northern and Southern hardwoods and a specialty made of Canadian birch. These gentlemen have long heen identified with the hardwood lumber business in various capacities. Mr. Thurn for many years was lumber purchasing agent for the Studebaker Corporation and for the last five years was secretary and sales manager of the Cyrus C. Shafer Lumber Company. Mr. Maxson succeeded Mr. Thurn with the Studebaker Corporation and in 1921 embarked in the wholesale G. O. Thurn, South Bend, Ind. R. B. Maxson, South Bend, Ind. and commission business. In 1922 he, with Mr. Charles O. Maus, formed the Charles O. Maus Lumber Company, which they conduct- ed for a year, and at the end of that time Mr. Maxson purchased from Mr. Maus his interest in the company. Subsequently Mr. Thurn purchased the interest formerly held by Mr. Maus and the company now is operating under the style of Charles O. Maus Lumber Com-: pany, George O. Thurn and Ray B. Maxson, owners. The company enjoy a good reputation among the consuming trade. To bring additional personality into the company Messrs. Thurn and Maxson have formed and are operating a hardwood lumber busi- ness under the style of The Thurn-Maxson Lumber Company, which oe eventually take over all of the assets and liabilities, of the Charles . Maus Lumber Company. The Thurn-Maxson Lumber Company is the sole representative in the Central Western States for Canadian birch, elm and basswood handled by Edward Clark & Sons, Ltd., of Toronto, who have de- ~veloped a splendid reputation for, integrity and dependable grades. Clark & Sons will have a production of birch alone this season of- twenty million feet,/a great part of which will be marketed in the United States through this arrangement. Excellent Demand for Hardwood Stocks The Shortreed Lumber Co., of Kearney, Ont:, have disposed of their 1922 stock of about one and a half million feet. One million feet of hardwood was purchased by M. Martin, of Huntsville, and half a million feet of softwood by Arthur N. Dudley, of Toronto. The firm have about one and a half million feet of mixed stock to cut this year and expect to start sawing about May Ist. At Coulson, Shortreed Bros. have disposed of one and three quarter million of hardwood to the Pedwell Hardwood Lumber Co., Toronto, and expect to have out about three quarter million for this year’s cut. Sawing will begin early in May. The firm are busy ship- ' ping from both yards at the present time. Lumbermen Should Take Time to Consider “Go slow. In this age of rush and ‘do it now’” said a Montreal lumber manufacturer, “the advice might seem out of date. Never- theless my experience has proved it to be sound. We are sometimes called on to give quick decisions, but we are too much inclined to take snap judgments, to decide without giving due consideration to what may be the results of our judgments. In the ordinary course of business there is no need for such haste; we can afford time to think over matters. By doing so, we are able to look at things from many-angles and to weigh possibilities in a manner impossible under the ‘do it now’ method. 7 “The lumber business has of necessity the speculative aspects. We are never sure which way the market will go, and, for this rea- son, it is essential to consider carefully any action, especially in relation to a buying or selling policy. This looks like stating the obvious, but I have been impressed with its importance in view of the instances which have come under my notice where apparently very scant deliberation has been given to the matters in question. Even the most experienced will meee mistakes, but there is no reason W hy one should add to the chances by taking hasty judgments.” a Budget of News From Busy East One of the biggest lumber deals consumated in these parts for some time came to light on March 6 when it was announced that the - Eastern Pulp Wood Company had purchased from the James Mur- chie Lands Company, lands on the St. Croix River, which during recent years have been cut by the Eastern Pulp Wood Company and the St. Croix Paper Company for stumpage. The total acreage of land involved is upwards of 57,000 acres, a large proportion of which is situated in Washington County. It is reported that the Eastern Pulp wood Company has also made arrangements to purchase from the Murchie Lands Company land in Calais. A recent report from ‘Chatham, N. B., is most encouraging. The lumbermen are said to be preparing for a busy season and the Mir- amichi Lumber Company’s big rossing mill is expected to run day and night. It has been announced that their large mill at Morrison Cove will manufacture laths and shingles. The J, B. Snowball Com- pany’s mill is also being put in condition for an anticipated heavy season’s cut. As soon as weather conditions wil permit sawing op- erations will be started. This is said to be greatly appreciated by residents, who have long been waiting for the mills to resume opera- tions and afford them employment. Tuttle ‘Taylor’s sawmill at Brooklyn Siding, near Port Elgin. N. B., was. recently destroyed by fire. A few days previous to the fire the mill had finished sawing for J. & C. Kickman Ltd. In addition to the loss of the mill a number of loaded lumber cars were a prey to the flames. The loss was estimated at $4,000 and unfortunately no in- surance was carried. The Elwood Burtt Lumber Company’s mill at Burtt’s Corner, N. B., recently started sawing. It is the first to begin in those parts, although a number of mills has been engaged practically all winter sawing laths. Mr. Burtt expects this season’s output to reach 6,000,- 000 feet. For some weeks the mill will be employed sawing hard- wood, and after this lot is ch operations will ‘be confined to — spruce. The aims and objects of the Canadian Forestry Association, were the subjects of an interesting and instructive address delivered before the members of the University of New Brunswick a few days ago by Gerald Blythe, of Ottawa, assistant secretary of the Asso- ciation. ‘The speaker emphasized the value of publicity in forest conservation. After leaving Fredericton Mr. Blythe went to the Miramichi district where he had a number of matters to look after. He had previously been in Nova Scotia where he had been confering with officials of the provincial government. A meeting of the St, John * River Log Driving Company was scheduled to have been held in St. John on March 4, but owing to — the absence in England of F. C. Beatteay, managing director of Stetson, Cutler & Company’s, Ltd., large mills, and also the absence from these parts of other leading ‘members, it was postponed until a call from the chair. i Lumber shippers in the province of New Brunswick were elated | over an announcement made public recently to the effect that there will be no building trades strike in the Boston district this spring, a settlement of differences having been reached. months the lumber industry here as well as in New England has heen somewhat hampered by uncertainty as to the building trades — wage situation and the result of which meant much to shippers. — Wiith this definitely settled and the embargoes removed the outlook is considered very promising to those shipping to New England markets, For the last two — CANADA LUMBERMAN 51 L. J. Menard, St. Michel Des Saints, Que., is contemplating in- stalling a complete electric system in his sawmill. E. J.

Capital $199,000. . ; A recent despatch from British Columbia says that seven ‘big freighters loaded cargoes at the Fraser Mills the first three months of the year, each carrying 1,000,000 to 3,000,000 feet. A consider- able portion of the output has been shipped to Australia. . Stewart Rutherford, of the Redfern Lumber Company, Limited, vice-president of the Montreal Retail Lumbermen’s Association, has just returned to business after about three weeks absence due to a poisoned thumb. The Abitibi Power & Paper Co. of Iroquois Falls, Ont., has closed its winter camp. About 1,500 men were engaged in the bush during the season and most of these, who are young farmers from Eastern Ontario and the Ottawa Valley have returned to their land. ‘The Chinese who recently struck at the Rainbow Mill, Port Coquitlam, B.C., because a white sawyer was thrust into their exclusive circle by the management without their permission, have been replaced by a fresh bunch of Chinamen and work has been resumed J. A. Rowland, of the Sprague-Rowland Lumber Co., Winnipeg, _ is spending some time in Ontario, and it is his intention to open an office in Toronto next month. ‘The location of the Ontario branch of the firm will ibe in the new Federal Building, corner of Sheppard and Richmond Sts. It is now understood that the plan of reorganization of the Riordon companies is nearing completion and stockholders and bondholders are likely to be notified of plans for financing that will _ provide the corporation with new working capital. The various _ Riordon bond issues have shown some appreciation of late. T. C. Warwick & Son, of Blenheim, Ont., have purchased the lumber ‘business of F. W. Kennedy and taken possession. The firm is one of the most aggressive retail lumber concerns in southwest- ern Ontario. Mr. Warwick is an active member of the Association for that part of the province. C. M. Wells, formerly of the firm of Taylor & Wells, is now in the retail lumber jbusiness in Paris, Ont., having started out on his own ‘behalf some time ago. Mr. Wells, who was not in good health for a long time, has now regained his accustomed vigor and says the outlook for business during the coming season is promising. W. E. Gunter, who for eight years past has been secretary and _ a director of Murray & Gregory, Limited, St. John, N.B., has re- tired from that position and gone with Shepard & Morse Lumber Co., of Gaspe, Que., where he will have complete charge of their “Quebec business. Many friends will wish Mr. Gunter every success in his new sphere of operation. The sum of $100,000 is being expended on the ‘Canadian Pacific Lumber Company’s mill at Port Moody, B. C., which is expected to be in operation within the next few weeks. The mill has been shut _ down for several years and the news of its resumption of operations comes as a welcome sign of the times to the citizens of Port Moody. ~The Thurston-Flavelle mill is also being reconstructed and the Mc- _ Nair shingle plant is being worked to capacity with plenty of orders in sight. _ Word received from Quebec is to the effect that a delay of ‘nearly one month in the spring supply of food for the huge lumbew camps on the north shore has resulted in considerable hardship among the unusually large number of men in the camps. Relief came in time to a number of the camps to avert a rather serious Among the lumbermen who have been spending some time in Florida, enjoying the sunny breezes of the South and have returned home are James R. Summers and wife, Toronto; W. F. Beck and wife, Penetanguishene ; James Gardiner and wife, Galt; Hon. George Gordon and wife, North Bay; A. E. Gordon and wife, Toronto, and others. D. F. MacDonald, a former well-known pioneer of Ontario, died recently at the home of his son, A. F. MacDonald, in Brandon, Man. He was 82 years of age and was one of the earliest settlers in Parry Sound where he resided until three years ago when he went West. The late Mr. MacDonald was a widely known lumberman who was engaged in the industry for many years in the Parry Sound district. He is survived by his wife, five sons and three daughters. In the Nova Scotia House of Assembly recently two members of the Opposition pressed strongly for the revoking of the Order-in- Council by which the Oxford Paper Co., of Rumford Falls, Maine, are allowed to export pulpwood without first manufacturing it from their 600,000 acre lease of the Crown Lands in Northern Inverness, and Victoria Counties, C.B. The lease was originally made in 1899 for a term of thirty years with the stipulation that the pulp be manufactured in Nova Scotia. The lease was changed in 1901 to one for 99 years. An Order-in-Council was passed to allow the exporta- tion of wood without manufacture. The Nova Scotia Trust Company have been appointed as re- ceivers for the affairs of Clarke Brothers, Limited, pulp, paper and fibre board manufacturers, of Bear River, Nova Scotia. Receiver- ship has been asked on ‘behalf of two applicants, the first a Cana- dian, the second, Perkins, Goodwin & Co., the large paper board house of New York city. This temporarily stops the negotiations whereby it was hoped Perkins, Goodwin & Co, would take over the operations of Clarke Bros. Those in touch with the situation, how- ever, feel hopeful that the forcing of action may work out satisfac- torily for the bondholders. New Big East River Improvement Co., Limited, Huntsville, Ont., was recently granted a provincial charter to take over the im- provements at present existing on the Big East River in the district of Muskoka including Tasso Lake, Moose Lake, Haines or High and Harry’s Lake Dams, the Bear Creek Dam, a four tenths interest in Sinclair Bridge and the improvements on the Black Creek, Buck River and Axe ‘Creek and tributaries. The company will construct dams, slides, piers, booms or other necessary work on the above rivers and lakes. Capital $20,000. Trout Mills, Ont., is likely to become this summer the centre of considerable aerial activity, according to certain phases of plans reported to be in the process of development for the closer protec- tion of forests in the neighborhood of North Bay from the hazard of the annual fires. A récent visitor to the district was Captain McKeown, of the Royal Canadian Air Force, Ottawa, who is ar- ranging for the establishment of a force of four hydroplanes at Trout Mills for scouting purposes in connection with the forest fire pre- vention campaign. It is also believed that there will be a number of officers and rangers located in this district with headquarters at North Bay. At the annual meeting of the Abitibi Power & Paper Co., which was held recently in Montreal, the president, F. H. Anson, stated that the programme of construction which his company had been. carrying out for some years past, was now completed and that every- thing was in excellent shape to care for the active demand for newsprint which now exists. The railway which the company built into the timber limits has been delivering pulpwood for some time and has proven most satisfactory, the work being done at a con- siderable saving over the former methods of delivering by water. The output of the plant is at present in a satisfactory state and the earnings are running considerably in ‘excess of those of a year ago. The old board of directors was re-elected for the coming year. The shingle mill operators on the Fraser River have experienced a lull during the past few days following several weeks of real activity. Severe storms in the eastern and middle States are con- sidered to be more or less responsible for this state of affairs, but with the advent of spring, it is expected that inquiries will be more numerous. Trouble with Oriental crews has been the general rule throughout the mills, the Chinese demanding an additional 2 cents for cutting and also for packing. Some of the mills are reported to have met the demand, which is an indication that the others will most probably have to fall in liné once the requisitions for the pro- duct increase. : : : 1k ae ; ~~ CANADA LUMBERMAN Improving Log Driving on Northern Limit The “Canada Lumberman” is indebted to E.C. Burton, of the Gervais Improvement Camp on Austin & Nicholson’s limits at Nich- olson’s Siding, Ont., for the pictures of the dams which are presented. The dam is on the limits of the firm, and one view taken from the eS een a Oe es a New dams erected on limits of Austin & Nicholson, Chapleau, Ont. down stream side shows the general construction and the upper tak- en fiom the upstream side gives a good idea of the sheeting before it was covered over with gravel. The dam is one of many under course of construction At one point the river is turned from its natural couse by a “block” dam and made to flow over land which was once a main road, thereby saving many miles in the log drive. In addition to the reduction of distance large quantities of water are held in reserve by dams on the upper lakes to ensure a good steady flow at all times. Owing to the steepness of the banks the stream is an excellent one for driving and no damage can be done to the trees on the banks. Construction Industries Lead In Trade Revival The construction industries unquestionably constitute a reliable barometer of business conditions. ‘Building, touching as it does so many phases of the nation’s activity at so many different points, is the most representative group in commercial life. The actual volume of new construction undertaken, together with the trend of building costs, therefore afford the key to the economic complexities of the coming year. What, then, is the present position and the outlook for building in Canada? The course of construction operations points to a ‘period of expansion. For the first quarter of 1923 the value of con- struction contracts awarded throughout Canada, according to statis- tics compiled by MacLean Building Reports, Limited, was $43,107,- 400, compared with $32,575,900 in 1922. It is when the figures are compared month by month, however, that recent developments are seen to advantage. Building operations in January totalled $9,840,- 800, in February, $13,311,800; and in March, $19,954,800. The ten- dency is toward increased activity in business and industrial build- ing, the total for these two groups during the first quarter of 1923 amounting to $25,545,000, compared with $10,748,900 in 1922. Resi- dential activity is slightly less than last year, with the building of better class homes in evidence. i Building in Quebec has increased markedly, the value of work started during the first quarter of 1923 amounting to $13,344,300, compared with $6,741,400 last year. Ontario continues to lead all the provinces, the value of new work started this year so far amount- ing to $22,422,500 compared with $20,679,900 during the same period last year. Building in the Western Provinces totals $6,848,500 com- pared with $4,486 000 last year. With building costs practically stabilized, a plentiful supply of mortgage money, efficient labor, and with the immense accumulated arrears of building postponed during the war and subsequent in- flation phase to catch up with, the prospects are bright for the most expansive period. in building that Canada has yet witnessed. New Pulp Mill for Prairie Province Details of the J, D. McAyzthur pulp and paper plant in Manitoba were recently announced when extension of a railway charter, the Fort Alexander Railway, was sought by the legislature. The plant construction is to start in May. An expenditure of $4,000,000 is pro- posed. Bonds and stock will be sold to provide this. By May 1, 1924, it is expected, the mill will be in operation.” It will open as a two- unit mill, capable of putting on the morket 130 tons of finished news- print per day. Within the next five years, if present plans of the com- pany mature, the mill will ‘be extended to a six-unit structure. The site is near the Fort Alexander Indian Reserve, south of the Winni- peg River. Pulp wood rights on a large tract, estimated to contain 4,000,000 cords, has been secured from the Dominion Government.

Eadie, » Greater Activity in Hardwood Production The Birch Lumber Co., of Grenville, Que., at the head of which is H. E. Gill, state that there has been a considerable increase in the cut in that district during the past season in comparison with a year ago, which will amount to possibly 35 per cent. Quotations which are prevailing for the better grades, have had a tendency to make the manufacturer produce better logs.and lumber. Prices have im- proved considerably during the last three months and all dry stock is sold and about 90 per cent of the 1923 cut has already been disposec of. Orders are abundant but embargoes and the supply of cars ha: retarded shipments a great deal ee the result that most manufa turers and wholesalers are unable to take care of their shipments promptly as they would like owing to the railroads not being in position to handle the business. The Birch Lumber Co., however, say that recently the car supply has been improving and practically all the good grades and considerable of the lower ones are being shipped to the United States market. Some mills have been saw ing this winter and practically all will be sawing by the end of April. Good Prospects for Summer Cottages W. H. Johnston, lumber manufacturer, of Pefferlaw, Ont., says that the prospects for building summer homes around Lake Simcoe _ were never better than they are at the present time. He is looking forward to a good cottage trade but adds that the farmers in that section of Ontario are not in a position to put up new buildings. They are buying only what is absolutely necessary in the way of forest products. Mr. Johnson says that he does not blame them be-— cause the produce from the land has dropped in value to a greater extent than that of any other ‘business. Japan’s Lumber Trade Coming to Canada Action of the Soviet government in declaring void the Siberian lumber concessions formerly held by Japanese interests is ex .ected to result this year in the placing of a larger proportion of Japan's lumber business with Canada and the United States, says a recent Japanese buyers are now being forced to pay higher prices for lumber in British Columbia, Washington and Oregon and that can be attributed to the fact that the supply of continental lumber in the Far East is temporarily restricted. : Present indications are that lumber importations from | Saghalion and Hokkaido, as well as from the Siberian maritime province, will — be less this year than usual. Shippers are hesitating to enter into forward shipment contracts, as there is a surplus of cargo to be ex- ported and the lumber freight now contracted is pretty cheap. Will Straighten Out Timber Royalties Efforts are now being made to straighten out British Columbia’s © timber royalty problem, which is believed to be one of the most — formidable obstacles in the way of timber developments in the proy- ince. Under the present royalty system timber holders are obliged to pay a rate to the government which is so high that further tenure would result in bankruptcy eventually, and for that reason the timber- men have held several conferences with representatives of the sOver ment with a view to modifying the charges. \ The present system is so severe that negotiations for extensive pulp and paper and lumber developments have recently been abandon- ed, and while they are likely to be renewed at a later date nothing will probably be done until the charges have been revised on a basis that gives (better guarantee of future operations on a profitable basis. The B. C. government has refused any proposal contemplating fixed rayalties over a term of years longer than five years. The tim- bermen have asked for a fixed royalty for twenty years, but that has: been turned down. All interests, however appear to be in favor of basing royalty in future on stumpage instead of on the wholesale selling price of manufactured lumber, as at present. ‘This will make it necessary to work out some plan for the valuation of British Co- lumbia timber in a far more thorough way than has been done in the past, and when that has been done the government and the timber owners will decide a workable plan of assessment and decide for ho many years the charges are to he allowed to remain fixed. § | | | A charter has been granted to the Taylor Teva 3 ea Limited, P.

It was decided to hold the sixteenth annual convention of the Cana- dian Lumbermen’s Association at the new Statler Hotel in Buffalo on Wednesday and Thursday, January 30th and 31st, 1924. It will be remembered that, at the last meeting in Montreal, a pressing invitation was extended from the various lumber odies of Buffalo to the C.L.A. to hold its next assembly in that city. The inivitation was accepted. This will be the first time that the C.L.A. has held its annual convention outside of Canada, but as a large number of U.S. firms are members of the organization, which has become in- ternational in its scope and character, it was decided that it would be fitting to meet in an American city in 1924. Some discussion came up in reference to certain phases of the sales tax and a committee of A. E. Clark and W. E. Bigwood, of Toronto, was appointed to confer with the Wholesale Lumber Deal- ers’ Association, Inc., in ‘Toronto, with regard to the matter, J. B. White, of Montreal, with power to select his own committee, was appointed to appear before the Montreal Wholesale Lumber Deal- ers’ Association in that city. The question of uniform grading rules-was brought up and left over for further consideration. The members of the Legislative and Transportation Commit- tees have been appointed for the coming year, D. McLachlin, of Arnprior, being chairman of the Legislative Committee, and A. E. Clark, of Toronto, of the Mransportation, Several other matters left over from the annual meeting, which concerned the routine work of the Association, were taken up and brought up to date. Among those attending the Executive meeting were,—Angus McLean, Bathurst, N.B., president of the C.L.A.; George W. Grier, Montreal, first vice-president; David Champoux, Restigouche, Que., second vice-president; W. M. Ross, Ottawa; J. S. Bock, Montreal; G. C. Edwards, Ottawa; W. E. Bigwood, Toronto; W. G.

Directors The directors of the Canadian Lumbermen’s Association, who held a meeting in Montreal on April 4th, were the guests of the Montreal Wholesale Lumber Dealer’s Association at their weekly luncheon on that date. At an informal meeting after the luncheon with J. S. Bock presiding, some questions relating to transportation were briefly discussed. A. D. Huff, trafic manager of the Riordon Company, and R. L. Sargant, transportation manager of the Canadian Lumbermen’s Association, answered some queries relating chiefly to” local rates. Mr. Huff pointed out that the present time was oppor- tune in regard to raising questions as to switching charges, having regard to the consolidation of the Canadian National lines. Mr. Sargant stated that the companies composing the Canadian National Railways were avoiding, in many instances, giving the benefits re- garding switching charges and through rates, which should accrue from the amalgamation. Users of the lines should make it their business to secure those benefits. The different companies now formed one line and traffic should be handled in that sense. J. S. Bock, in asking the members to consider the claims of the * Canadian Lumbermen’ Ss | espcin tion pointed out the good work which In as- sociations of this character che members did not fully realize the benefits until those benefits no longer existed. The lumber industry would, undoubtedly, suffer if the association ceased to function. He remembered the time when it was a job to get an interview with the lumber agent of the C.P.R.; to-day it was quite different, and, strange to say, the railway representatives were anxious to settle any questions rather than have them adjusted thrauoh the transnor- tation department of the Canadian Lumbermen’s Association. That association dealt with many other matters of interest to lumbermen on the same basis. He welcomed the presence of the directors of the Association, and suggested that-the wholesalers of Montreal would receive material benefit from becoming members, after, of course, joining the Montreal Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association. The Montreal Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association was re- presented by O. Page on the*deputation of commercial and other CANADA LUMBERMAN son. Or associations which waited on the city council and presented petitions in favor of daylight saving. Messrs. S. P. Thomson, of the Gatineau Company, Limited, Ot- tawa, and M. B. Hamilton, of M. B. Harroun & Sons, Watertown, N.Y., were guests at the luncheon of the Montreal Wholesale Lumber Dealers Association on April 4th. Vast Timber Wealth in The Valley Despite the rapid increase of settlement entailing extensive land clearing operations, an enormous amount of standing mercantile timber is still in reserve in the districts adjacent to the north side of the Fraser Valley. According to statistics furnished by E. Walmsley, crown timber agent, New Westminster, B.C., the avail- able supply of these vast reserves is estimated at 4,200,000,000 feet, and at the rate of cut of last year, which was 901,000,000 feet, will last for a long period provided proper conservation is in force. In getting out estimates of the timber cut and in reserve crown timber officials have divided the north side into five districts, all practically within a radius of 80 miles from Vancouver. In Coquitlam, timber, including fir, cedar and hemlock, to the extent of 25,000,000 feet was cut last year—the chief logging operations being carried on by the Canadian Robert Dollar Company, Pitt River Shingle Company, Pacific Shingle Company and Robert McNair Shingle Company—the reserve in this district being estimated at 500,000,000 feet. Big U.S. Mill May Move To Canada When legislators at Washington, D.C., were framing the Ford- ney Tariff, which imposes charges of $3.00 per thousand feet on all saw logs towed into U.S. waters from Canada, representations were made to the Government that mill operators in the State of Wash- ington would be forced to move their mills across the line into British Columbia territory, if the measure became law. At that time this was considered to be an idle threat, but now comes the announcement of the intention of the Morrision Mill Company, one of the biggest operating lumber concerns in the State of Washington, to remove its big plant at Blaine to Vancouver. This is viewed in Vancouver lumber circles as the first definite move on the part of Washington lumbermen to carry into effect the predic- tion made when the Fordney Act was being discussed. The Morrison Mill Company operate three large mills in Wash- ington, and it is their intention to move one of these mills as soon as a suitable site can be obtained. This mill has a daily capacity of 90,000 feet of lumber and 20,000 box shooks. Hope Lumber Company Branching Out The Hope Lumber Co., of Little Current, Ont., are making ex- tensive additions to their plant and are installing an 8-foot double cutting band mill; log carriages; steam feed; kicker; flippers; 48- inch edgers; log deck rolls; band saw-sharpener; two 72 in. x 16 ft. boilers; 18 x 24 ft. sawmill engine; shafting, pulleys; lath mill and bolter, and an eight saw atuttomatic trimmer. The entire equipment is ‘being supplied by the Waterous Engine Works Co., Limited, of Brantford. Co-operative: Effort to Reduce Fires As a result of a conference which took place recently between G. C. Piche, chief forestery engineer of Quebec, and Neal S. Violet, assistant chief forestry commissioner, of Maine, and a number of re- presentatives of limit holders on the border state, arrangements were completed to fight forest fires in that section during the coming sea- Mr. Piche said that there existed no doubt but that much benefit would result from this co-operation between Quebec and Maine as forest fires had caused havoc in that section. Hon. Mr. Mercier, Minister of Lands and Forests, is anxious to have an agree- ment reached and effective co-operation arranged. A conference with the New Brunswick representatives will also be held. Forestry Service Erects Phone Lines It is the intention of the Ontario Forestry Department to erect a telephone line from Parry Sound on down the shore to Go-home bay, and also to have different lines connecting the several observa- tion stations at Dorset, Moon River and Key Junction. More will be erected at the Still river at the C.N.R. crossing at Loring, Powassan and in Proudfoot township. All of these stations will eventually be connected up by wire. It is likely that the seaplane base for all of the north will be located at or near North Bay next summer, as this point will be central for the territory to be covered. we CANADA LUMBERMAN Mr. Booth Hurrying on to Century Mark J. R. Booth, of Ottawa, the veteran lumber manufacturer, pulp and paper producer, timber limit owner and railway builder, celebrated his 96th birthday on April 5th. The “Lumber King” is enjoying good health and spent the anniversary of his nativity in his usual manner by visiting the various departments of his mammoth industries at the Chaudiere. Following a cus- tom established several years ago his employees presented him with a basket of ninety-six choice roses. Mr. Booth became a resident of Ottawa ten years before Confederation, has lived in the Capital city sixty-six years and is still going strong. He is Honorary President of the Canadian Lumbermen’s Associa- J. R. Booth, Ottawa, Ont. tion and is one of the most wide- Canada’s Lumber King ly known operators in the world. The story of his career is one that reveals pluck, determination and purpose. Mr. Booth has always led a rugged, outdoor life, has ever been to the forefront in huge undertakings and never asked a man to dé a job which he himself was not-capable of performing. It was said of Napoleon Bonaparte, the “little Corsican corporal” during his vast campaigns of conquest, that he never called upon those under him to go where he would not venture himself, and the same remark may be made of the great Canadian captain of industry. Mr. Booth has always believed in the gospel of hard work, and for recreation sallies forth and does a little more work. He landed in Ottawa in 1857 with $9 in his pocket. To-day he is the largest holder of timber limits in the civilized world and the oldest active lumberman on the American continent. Will Stop the Butchery of Trees The Ontario Department of Highways has made a wise move in determining to stop tree butchery along public roads. Not only is it the intention to beautify the highways, but to preserve the existing beauty in that trees will not be mutilated or sacrificed wherever it is possible to save them. No company, telephone, power or telegraph will be allowed to cut the trees without permission and only to re- move branches which are entirely essential to transmission, will be given, and in any-case only the minimum amount of tree prunery will be allowed, and such must be done under the supervision of the Department of Public Highways . In this connection various com- panies have entered heartily into co-operation with the department in that at present they are trying to clear their lines with as little mu- ~tilation of trees as possible. British Empire Co. Has Big Project In the annual report of the Montreal Harbor Commissioners, just issued, reference is nade to the development of the B. C. timber trade via the Panama Canal. It is stated that several shiploads of lumber arrived in bottoms from the Pacific Coast, the property of the British Empire Lumber Corporation, Limited, which was disposed of almost on its arrival. The lumber industry will in the future be a noteworthy feature of the port, as the same firm has rented a large space from the commissioners on Bickerdike Pier where a large tim- ber shed and sawmill are being erected. The company expects to saw and handle 50,000,000 feet of lumber annually through the harbor of Montreal. The first unit of the sawmill consists of a mill and storage shed of fireproof construction with the necessary siding and water supply. The width of the sawmill is 111 feet over all, divided into three bays ef nearly eleven spans, the whole central portion of the roof being raised over the two columns so as to form a monitor for lighting and ventilating the mill. In each bay, provision has been made on the columns for the future installation of three-ton crane-runways. On each side of the building an interior depressed trackway will make possible the loading into cars under cover. The sides and end walls are to be completely glazed, except where, at the ground, steel curtain doors will be located in each longitudin- al bay. The mill will have a length over all of 210 ft. 10 inches with columns 25 it. on centres. The length of the storage shed and the longitudinal spacing of tract and Cody suffered a consequent loss, The market price dropped columns will be the same as in the sawmill, its width being 81 feet with columns spaced 22 feet 7 inches, 37 feet 4 inches and 22 feet 7 inches on centres. An 18 feet 6 inches wide depression in the cen of the building is provided for facilitating the shipping and receiv of material by rail or by vehicles. The voids between the concr structural members in the sides and end walls will be closed wit solid 8 inch curtain brick wall. Light and ventilation in the shed only be through the double monitor built integrally with the r slab. ‘The floor of both buildings, of concrete, will be raised 3 feet inches above the level of the pier. The roofing is to be of tar a gravel reinforced with roofing felt, the whole flashed and coun flashed with galvanized iron. All sashes will be of the solid m type, glazed with 14 inch wire glass. All doors to be metal. A pipe automatic sprinkler fire system is to be installed. Log Driving Prospects in Quebec Province The heavy fall of snow in the province of Quebec, especially on the south shore and low lands of the rives St. Lawrence east of Que- ‘bec City, as well as the unpredicted cold weather lasting until the beginning of April, caused apprehension among the timber firms and limit holders regarding the river driving of their logs this spring to their mills and base of storage. The snowfall during February and ~ March in many parts of the forest, where lumber operations have been carried on during the past winter, attained a depth from six to eight feet, and the ice in the rivers, on account of the intense cold weather, became very thick in places, réaching down almost to the bed of the river and not likely to break up and move out until the end of April. If this should happen and, in the meantime, warm weather and a season of rain set in, the vast quantities of the beautiful will natural- ly thaw and turn into water from the inclines, toward the rivers and, instead of swelling the waters to aid in the successful drive of the logs, will rush over the ice bridges and be lost for the usual driving of the timber, and, naturally, there will be a scarcity of water in the rivers towards the end of the drives. It may happen that nature and the elements may obviate these conditions but the men operating dur- ing the winter in the woods at the time of writing fear the worst. New Lath Mill of Pronounced Speed The P. Payette Co., of Penetang, Ont., have just placed on the market anew lath.mill which is known as the “Thoro-bred,” it being the latest improved No. 2 equipped with five saws. ‘The makers say that it will cut any quality of lath depending upon the amount — of stock the operator is able to feed into it. Back of the new machine are forty-three years’ experience in building lath mill equipment. The “Thoro-bred” has the new tension springs encased in bon- nets which regulate the pressure of the feed rolls and these are ad- justed to any desired tension by the adjustment of the set screws on the top. The company recommend this machine for use with their No. 1 four-saw bolter. ; There are several new features about the machine and the opera- tor is well protected. The lath shover is safeguarded by a special convex guard on the front and the saws and rollers are protected on the top and sides by a steel plate hinged guard which may be thrown up to take out the saws or dropped instantly and automatically lack- ed. This prevents all bolts and chunks from flying out and injur- ing the operators. The front and back tables can be adjusted to take up the wear of the saws and the guide can be adjusted to any angle. The capacity of the machine is from 50,000 to 128,000, 4-foot lath, daily depending upon the quantity of stock the producer has to manu- facture lath from. The guide on the machine is extra long and extra wide and is of double height on the front so that the lath shover can throw the bolt into the machine without using any extra precautions thus increasing output. = Dealer Gets Allowance on Counter Claim J. A. Cody, lumber dealer of Newmarket, Ont., was recently allowed $8,000 in a judgment handed down at Osgoode Hall by Mr. Justice Orde. The decision is on a counter-claim by Mr. Cody against Andrew McKean, of Collingwood. 3 Cody contracted with McKean to have the latter cut some wood for him at $20 per 1,000 feet. The work was to be done during 1920- 21. The total cut was to be 700,000 feet. In the meantime Cody contracted with another firm to supply them with lumber. 1 When McKean’s saw mill burnt down he could not fill his con- also. nie Hath The judgment was for the loss suffered by Cody as the result of McKean’s failure to supply the stipulated amount, CANADA LUMBERMAN 55 pe iS Gre Ss Cxmet yt or Ses The Drain on Canada’s Pulpwood iy = Thirteen new paper making machines are being installed in Can- ada this year and it is stated that these thirteen, when erected and running full, will consume more than 350,000 additional cords of wood -ayear. Frank J. D. Barnjum, of Montreal the noted Canadian con- ' servationist ,states that, not counting these machines, Canada is al- ready consuming and exporting annually more than 5,000,000 cords _ of pulpwood, representing the growth of a century or more, from 1,- _ 250,000 acres of land. He declares that every new paper machine installed in Canada and every new issue of pulp and paper securities _ brought out and sold to Canadians is an added reason for prohibiting _ the export of raw material. ‘ Among the Canadian companies which are either adding to their present equipment or putting in new machines are:—The Bathurst Company, Bathurst, N. B.; Ontario Paper Company, Thorold, Ont.; _ Backus-Brooks Company, Kenora, Ont.; Donaconna Paper Co., _ Donaconna, Que.; Belgo Paper Co., Shawinigan Falls, Que.; Way- agamack Pulp & Paper Company, Three Rivers, Que.; Price Bros., & Co., Quebec and others. } : wee Se ee ee New Rossing Plants Are Starting Up The St. Lawrence Lumber Co., whose head office is at 81 St. Peter St., Quebec, are installing a 10 x 30 foot Canadian barking _ drum at their plant at Amqui, Que. This organization purposes” _ rossing its pulpwood with a Canadian barking drum. The Hawk Lake Lumber Co., of Monteith, Ont., who some time ago secured another concession from the Ontario Government, is _ erecting a*barking plant at Mile 45, west of Cochrane, on the Trans- continental, and will put in a Canadian barking drum. The com- _ pany is carrying on extensive pulpwood operations in Northern = Ontario. - 4 ‘ Looks Like Big Demand for Wood Speaking of the pulpwood market in Northern Ontario, a lead- ing operator from the Port Arthur district in conversation with the “Canada Lumberman” lately said that as far as prices and demand _ are concerned, it was too early yet to make any forecast because no _ wood is cut during the spring months for future delivery and no con- _ tracts or prices will be set or talked of until August “It appears as P if American mills will have to look to our district for a considerable amount of wood annually and there is no doubt the wood can be _ produced in the Thunder Bay area for a number of years,’ he _ declared. Big Contracts Placed for Pulp Wood The Hammermill Paper Co., of Erie, Pa., who conduct pulpwood operations in the Port Arthur district, have contracted for between _ 75,000 and 80,000 cords of wood, to be delivered to them during the _ coming season of navigation, f.o.b. vessel. It is understood that a large proportion of this wood is purchased from jobbers but, as in the past, the company have also bought possibly 15,000 cords direct from settlers. This they will drive and load themselves. The wood of the Hammermill Co. is now all landed on the river banks ready for driving, and with the amount of snow which the Port Arthur district had during the past season, it is not anticipated that there will be any trouble in taking out the drives. ' The past winter was the best one, not only that the Hammermill people, but many others experienced in woods activities in the Port Arthur district for a number of years. Contractors went through the whole season practically without a break, and until the latter part of March had just the right amount of snow and, consequently, all job- bers are practically finished and will obtain their entire contract. Northern Concern is Building at Wasach The Hawk Lake Lumber Co., Limited, of Monteith, Ont., of which A. E. Wicks is president, during the summer will ross 25,000 ords of spruce pulpwood and ship it out, in addition to 10,000 cords | | me ) Sanna line) OOOOH | f R oon oo o Rye —_ that they have now ready to ship. June Ist will see no more unsold pulpwood piled along the railway either east or west of Cochrane. Labor was fairly plentiful last season although wages were higher than a year ago. The Hawk Lake Lumber Company’s plans also call for the building of a sawmill of about 30,000 feet daily cutting capacity, and installing a drum rosser at Wasach, Ont., during the coming sum- mer to cut up 20,000 cords of wood now in the river at that point. This cordage is in addition to the 35,000 cords, already mentioned. The company expect to saw 2,000,000 feet of spruce and some tamarac at Monteith this summer, all of which has been disposed of at a good figure. Mr. Wicks says that, judging from the inquiries received, a lot of lumber will be bought in Northern Ontario during the coming season. Big Pulp Wood Cut Around Port Arthur Over 2,000 men were employed in the Port Arthur district dur- ing the past season in taking out pulpwood, ties and piling. The cut of pulpwood is estimated at 180,000 cords, 20,000 pieces of piling and 1,450,000 railway ties. About 500 teams were engaged in the work and the cash paid to the men was around $750,000. Contrac- tors pay 15 cents a piece for ties and $2.50 for a cord of pulpwood. Nearly all the work in the woods is now carried out on the piece basis. The past winter was a most favorable one for operations. The steady cold weather rendered camp conditions ideal while the liberal snowfall made it safe to assume that there will be Jots of water this spring to carry the wood down into Lake Superior and Thunder Bay for booming or shipment to the mills. Some of the largest operations in pulpwood and the quantities which they took out and the location of their camps, were as fol- lows:—Fort William Paper Co., camps on the G.T.P., 200 men; 30,000 cords of pulpwood; Thomas Falls, camps at Shabaqua, 80 men; 10,000 cords of pulpwood, 150,000 ties; J. Greer, camps on G.T., 80 men; 10,000 cords of pulpwood, 100,000 ties; I. L. Mather, camps at camps at Sibley, 350 men, 30,000 cords of pulpwood; The Stevedore Company (H. Murphy and G, E. Farlinger), Nezah, 400 men, 500,- 000 ties; G. E. Farlinger, camps on the G. T., 100 men, 10,000 cords of pulpwood; Scott Lumber Co., camps on Current River; 75 men, ‘10,000 cords of pulpwood; C. W. Cox, camps at Nipigon and Black Bay, 300 men; 25,000 cords of pulpwood, 15,000 ties, 20,000 piling; Thunder Bay Paper Co., supplies from local farmers, 150,000 cords of pulpwood; Detroit Sulphite Co., yards at the Mission, supplies from local farmers, 10,000 cords of pulpwood; Russell Timber Co., camps at Hurkett, 200 men, 30,000 cords of pulpwood. Big Pulp Plant to go up at Nelson Kenneth Campbell, M.P.P., for Nelson, B. C., T. G. Howland and J. Jacobson, of Minneapolis, Minn., who are interested in the Howland & Waltz Pulp Co., of Minnesota, have completed arrange- ments as regards the waterpower in connection with a proposed pulp mill at Nelson. Messrs. Howland and Jacobson are holders of large timber limits in the Kootenay section which is specially valu- able for pulp. Cruising of the timber and engineering work relating to the proposed mill will be undertaken at once. The estimated cost of the project is $2,000,000. Wood-Pulp will Make Blotting Paper An entirely new departure in the manufacture of blotting paper is forecasted by the Forest Products Laboratories of Canada (Do- minion Forestry Branch), Montreal, as a result of an investigation recently carried out in their experimental paper mill. The best grades of blotting paper have hitherto been made from rag pulp, but the Laboratories have succeeded in producing a paper with excellent ab- sorptive powers entirely from wood-pulp. The interesting feature of the new paper is that it contains a large proportion of pulp made from which, although plentiful, has found little employment in the pulp industry of Canada, ee ee oe CANADA LUMBERMAN CURRENT LUMBER PRICES— WHOLESALE TORONTO White Pine (In Car Load Lots, F.O.B. cars Toronto) exes yt GOOG USthIpS cee ce.

The illustration shows one of the latest designs of gang circular patented by Mr, N. Kendall, the well-known millwright, of Ottawa. This machine’ takes 16-26 in. an 10 gauge saws—will cut cants up to 8 inches in thickness, and we furnish with it necessary saw collars for any thickness of lumber desired. It has a hollow mandrel, water cooled saws; éach saw has a separate guide; easily accessible and readily adjust- able, and the bridge tree is so designed that it can be removed, the saws taken off and a new set put on in 7 to 10 minutes. Safety fingers hung just inside the front press roll prevent a cant flying back off the saws. Lumber cut. on these machines is guar- anteed to come out absolutely true to size from end to énd, and so smooth that 1/16 in. over size is all the allowance necessary for finish. Read what one user says about it:— “The machine has given every satisfaction and in many cases far exceeded my} idea of sawing lumber; the proof of this being that our customers are paying me $1.00 to $1.50 per thousand more for certain classes of lumber than they can purchase same quality elsewhere—this advantage being purely on account of the uniform and smooth sawing this saw is capable of doing.” We are the original manufacturers of these flachines We have been munufacturing them for the past fourteen years, and the experi- ence gained in all those years is at your disposal. We make these machines in three sizes, as follows, using 26-in. saws for 8-in. cants, as illustrated. 32-in. saws for 10-in. cants. 36-in. saws for 12-in. cants. Each size is of the very latest design and up-to-date in every improvement. May we send you a list of satisfied users? We also make a complete line of twin circulars with chain or steam feed for slabbing logs for these machines. ‘William Hamilton Co., Limited . _PETERBORO ONTARIO L. Neilson is Co., Winnipeg, Man. J.

PARSONS 32 CANADA LUMBERMAN BUY 3 BRITISH COLUMBIA Red Cedar Shingles The life of a British Columbia Red Cedar Shin gle Roof can almost be gauged by the life of the nail with which the shingle is nailed in place. Judging from available data, the average life of the ordinary steel wire nail, which has been in such common use, is only from seven to twelve years. Some wire nails will last longer, depending upon the condition of exposure, climate and similar features, but considering our climate as a whole, at the end of from seven to twelve years a large - percentage of wire nails will have rusted either completely through or so extensively that the first strong wind will complete the work. The shingles that have been held in position by such nails are then free to work down, permitting rains or melting snows to leak through and damage the interior of the structure. Examination will disclose that the fibre of the shingle itself is still in perfect condition, and a leaky roof, in the majority of occasions is due entirely to the use of faulty nails, but the average home owner, placed at such inconvenience, will not stop to reason this out and the poor wooden shingle comes in for more unjust abuse. 7 There are several kinds of nails which experience has proven will give lasting satisfaction, and the wise dealer will advise his customers of these satisfactory nails. A pure zinc shingle nail meets all the demands of durability required. Its principal drawback is its high cost and a slight tendency to bend under careless driving. Galvanized wire nails theoretically are rust proof, and if the galvanized coating is properly applied, and of sufficient thickness, such a nail will last as long as the shingle it holds in place. The life of this shingle roof, properly applied with these nails then is from 40 to 50 years. Pure iron nails, or the old cut or wrought nails are ideal but difficult to secure. Copper nails also constitute a perfect shingle nail. Timms Phillips & Co., Ltd. | Vancouver Lumber Co., Ltd.

The head is built heavy where the strain is greatest, and being devoid of all angles or openings, the wind resistance is lessened, and it cannot block with shavings. The straight knives are long, which assures greater service, while the circular knives can be set back and the straight knives jointed. In this way, the whole width of the straight knives can be jointed at one setting. The circular cutter is then brought to its proper position. Let Shimer heads reduce your costs.

Among them is that of Angus McLean, head of The Bathurst Company, of Bathurst, N.B. Mr. McLean has for many years been identified with the industry in the Maritimes and has always been one of the leaders in every movement to elevate the standards and promote the interests of one of Canada’s greatest industries. This year he is rendering further service by having accepted the presidency of the Canadian Lumbermen’s Associa- tion. . The Bathurst Company has in recent years sold the bulk of its product in either the British or the United States market, its Canadian business being a very small percentage of the total volume. This important company commenced with the March 15 issue of “CANADA LUMBERMAN?” a contract for the use of full page space, and, in sending this con- tract Mr. McLean gave two of his reasons for the decision to have The Bathurst LSB es FRE AN Lumber | Cedar Shingles Kraft Pulp EASY BLEACHING SULPHITE PULP SPRUCE AND WHITE PINE | The Bathurst Company Ltd.

He said:- “We feel that your journal is worthy of the support of the lumbermen”, and referring to some information we had given as to the steadily increasing cir- culation of Canada Lumberman in the U.S. and Great Britain, he added:- “We are glad to get your letter advis- ing that you are getting a better eirculation for your magazine in the United States, and that you now reach a large number of buyers there. This is all very interesting information, and it certainly will be good for the Canadian lumbermen if their advertisements go prominently before the American buyers, as that is where most of the lumber, at least from the: Maritime Provinces, has now to find a market.” No doubt there are other lumber firms the heads of which feel the same as Mr. McLean. We will gladly welcome such firms to the advertising pages of “CANADA LUMBERMAN”. They will find us ready to give co- operation in full measure. It is on this basis that “CANADA LUM- BERMAN?” has won the respect of the biggest and best in the industry. CANAD'A LUMBERMAN 43 Linn Logging Tractor operated by T. S. Woollings & Co. Limited, of Englehart, Ont. Average train com- posed of ten, twenty-foot rack sleds—containing seventy cords of wood on sleds and four cords on tractor THE LINN LOGGING TRACTOR T.S. Woollings & Co. Limited, commenced operation with their Linn Logging Tractor in the middle of January. Their hau! was over 7 miles in length and six miles of this haul was over an up-grade of from 5% to 714%. They moved eight thousand cords of four-foot pulpwood over the above described haul in 55 days, and at a gross cost of 5114 cents per cord. Last year—on the same operation—hauling with horses, their haulage cost was $1.75 per cord—plus the cost of keeping the horses during the summer months. They went through their entire haul without any mechanical adjustments whatever, and previous to entering their service their operator had no experience in operating a Linn Logging Tractor. This is the third of a series of photographs of Linn Logging Tractors in operation by Loggers in Ontario and Quebec. The next will appear in the May 15th issue. Our claims for Linn Logging Tractor capacity and reliability have, in every case, been far exceeded by their performance in the hands of their owners. “‘Ask the logger who uses one’’ —Logging Department — MUSSENS LIMITED Philips Place Building Montreal ~ 44 CANADA LUMBERMAN ATAUHTATIANTEAOHNANNTHANNAANNNNANUNANNNTNAINTTUIHNINIAAANUNUTNAATATIMATNNUNNNNNTTNNNAN THAN AQ \ CROSS-CUT SAW FILES When you use this special saw file you will find the satisfaction and economy for which you have sought.

OF CANADA, LIMITED TORONTO = - MONTREAL Pioneer and Leader Vol. 43 The new president of the Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association is Kirvan J. Shirton, of Dunnville, Ont. He has gone far in the lumber game and built up one of the most successful businesses in the south- western part of the province. One of his friends stated the other day the reason he had been able to travel so far, was that he is a man of honor and integrity and never belies his name. In other words, he keeps his “shirt on,” which colloquial expression can be interpreted as being calm and col- lected at all times. Ever since the incep- tion of the Ontario Lumber Dealers’ Asso- ciation over five years ago, Mr. Shirton has been an active member. He was one of the organizers of the Niagara Peninsular branch and was its first president. Not only has he done much personally to further the in- terest and welfare of the O.R.L.D.A., but he has given freely of his time in enlisting new members and generally making his in- fluence felt, Recently he retired from the Mayor’s chair in Dunnville after serving two years. He was strongly urged to con- tinue in the position ‘but ‘business interests compelled his withdrawal from municipal activities. It will be remembered that Mr. Shirton erected last fall a new storage shed for the end piling of lumber. The shed is 55 feet wide, 63 feet long and 18 feet high to the eaves. The structure will hold about 150,- 000 feet of material. Rough lumber for milling is piled on the side of the ‘building which is nearest to the factory, and dressed material on the other. The walls of the - building are sheeted and covered with cor- rugated iron. The frame was constructed in bents on the ground and then raised sim- ilar to the method pursued in building a timbered barn. There are two driveways through the structure, each 10 feet wide, and one cross driveway 12 feet wide. The head of the firm states that they have found the dressed lumber shed to be a great con- venience, enabling them to carry a larger stock of lumber ready for customers and also keeping a close check on all quantities of dressed material. ‘The size of the bins range from 8x8, 8x10, 8x12 to 10x12. How the Business Has Grown Mr. Shirton has gone one step further now and has erected an attractive office building, a plan of which is shown in this article. He states that the plan, Which was followed in erecting the new office, was to make it convenient and commodious and to aa sau” Gada Jum Derman J ounded 1880 Recognized Authority for Forty Years Toronto, May 1, 1923 obtain as much north light as possible and still conform to certain existing conditions. The door marked on the plan “door to mill” could not be changed without interfering materially with the arrangement of the plant. In order to take still further advant- age of the light from the north and leave the door as at present, it was found neces- sary to resort to the use of a hall. The ne- cessity for the construction of this passage- way made it possible for an ideal location of a wash room at one, end, The weigh scale, marked on the plan, is a convenient arrangement, the platform being about two feet from the west wall and a window on No. 9 K. J. Shirton, President of the Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association, is Ardent Advocate of Organization and Recently Has Carried Out Improvements to His Premises —Commodious New Office and Spacious Dressed Lumber Shed are Latest Additions— How He Keeps Collections up to Date and Views the Business Outlook in His District that its significance will be recognized by all office workers, particularly when, ac- cording to the latest climatic record, Canada has been having about six months of winter weather. In regard to the other features in the office such as stoves, cabinets, etc. Mr. Shirton says that these are largely matters of individual taste, and adds that if the ac- companying plan and description prove of any benefit to anyone thinking of construct- ing an office, he will consider himself amply repaid for any information given to his friends through the “Canada Lumberman.” It may be stated here that William K. J. Shirton, Dunnville, Ont., President of the Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association, at work in his new private office either side, allowing a good view of the vehicle or load being weighed and still mak- ing it unnecessary to go out of doors. Another feature of the office, which Mr. Shirton considers important, is that there is no possibility of a direct draft on the parties sitting at any desk. This may ap- pear a minor matter but it was one which the firm consider quite essential and believe Shirton Co., Limited, was founded by the late Mr. William Shirton in 1895. He conduct- ed business until 1909, in which year he passed away. A partnership was then form- ed in the family and carried on as such until 1915 when a change was made to a joint stock company under the present name of William Shirton Co., Limited. For several years natural gas was used for motive : . | | | 46 power, but as this is becoming exhausted in the Dunnville district, the company now use Hydro-electric power. Natural gas, however, is very economical, more so than electricity or steam, providing its continuity and abundance are assured. Too High Prices May Stop Building One feature of the business of the com- pany is in connection with its cross arms department, which has developed into quite a wide line. In the making of cross arms, B.C. fir is employed as this wood is believed to be the most desirable from every point of view. The dimensions generally in use are 3” x 4” finish, while the lengths of the cross arms vary form 4 to 10 feet. The cross arm business has not been up to normal of late . but the backward season has, no doubt, had something to do with this. A number of mills in the West are now making these arms, which are also turned out ‘by other firms in Quebec and Ontario, and so the de- mand in Canada from telegraph, telephone and other companies is pretty well taken CANADA LUMBERMAN and many prospective builders immediately went on strike. “However,” added Mr. Shirton, “things may look up a.bit as soon as the weather gets settled and the sun shines on both sides of the fence. We believe there will be a certain amount of building, of course, but nevertheless are of the opinion that the re- cent rise in prices will change what looked at first to be a really record year, into one of merely normal activity. We do not want to be classed as a pessimist, but are stating the facts as we see them. In other towns and the larger centres things may be boom- ing, ‘but, unfortunately, we cannot say the same for Dunnville and vicinity. We have personal knowledge that other communities have felt and will feel this season the result of the unwarranted advance in building supplies.” Mr. Shirton believes that a contributing agency toward the success of his business has been not only in prompt service, well- selected stock, honest values and an hono:- The new office of the William Shirton Co., Dunnville, Ont. At the right the interior arrangement of the new office is seen, indicating a compact and convenient lay-out care of. It has not been possible to work up an export trade as the high cost of trans- portation prevents any large ‘business being developed. In regard to general \business conditions, Mr. Shirton says that a few months ago he was quite optimistic but since then has somewhat changed his views. The slight advance in some lines of lumber and the marked advance in others, together with a general rise in the prices of other materials, (excepting cement, which, however, will probably follow), and the demand of labor for more money, has had the effect of stop- ping the erection of a considerable number of residences in Dunnville and vicinity. In conversation with the “Canada Lumberman,’ the president of the Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association declared that at the beginning of the year things never looked better in his district, and his firm were kept busy estimating. After the prospects got their figures (or those of competitors) for lumber and also learned what the carpent- ers, plumbers, masons and hardware men’s quotations were, and then added all to- gether, they were surprised at the aggregate able record, but also in keeping accounts well collected, At‘the annual convention in Ottawa in 1922 he spoke strongly on) this subject, and it is not inappropriate to re- produce here his remarks on that occasion on “collection of accounts.” He said that while many dealers had signs in _ their offices stating that their terms were Cash, he felt sure that he was safe in saying that not ten per cent of them found it feasible to adhere to this regulation, particularly in re- gard to contractors and farmers who were reputable in every way but still wanted to buy on time or pay for their material in the fall. Vhe outcome, however, was that when a ‘business was not all cash, that credit crept in and the dealer was wp against the problem of discriminating ‘between the good and the bad. If the yardman was not very careful he would get some accounts on his books that could not be collected. All accounts required a close study of local conditions and could be divided into three classes,—good, slow (or doubtful), and ‘bad. There was, strictly speaking, no proper use of the term “bad’* for frequently no possibility existed of collecting a bad ac- \ count and it was necessary to avoid this class. Many good people were sometimes slow in settling. They simply put the matter off in a thoughtless way. Mr. Shirton said that, after rendering the account he felt that a good plan was to make a personal appeal to such parties, explaining that it requires a large amount of capital in the lumber line to carry a complete stock and that it is es- sential to have money, or something equally — negotiable, in the way of security to finance a retail business. He found that this method of appealing to such persons was successful and they saw the reasonableness of the plea. Often a customer would say that he could not pay just then, but that he was ex- pecting money at such and such a time and then he would settle. Mr. Shirton said that he frequently requested a cheque dated about the time that the customer expected to get in the cash, and if there was still hesi-’ tancy on the part of the debtor, he would ask that the cheque be given and post-dated = a —> SCALE z blaring Froom ie 4 7T6°X2/' , rs éé S Br Des K Cagine He .) x fo) 8 5 s D K iS Re ES % GENERAL [Ses OFFICE.

Rarely did he come back without a settlement in the way of a. cheque or an interest-bearing note which could be negotiated in the bank and was a confirma- tion or substantiation of the account. When this was obtained there could be no room for dispute. If slow accounts were not looked after they were apt to get down to the doubtful class, In the latter case it was advisable to get, if possible, a lien on the building, ‘but if the time for placing a lien on it had ex- piréd, the next best move was to search the registry office and see if the customer had any property. Often collections could be made ‘by getting a judgment against the — party who was lagging too long in settling for what he owed. Mr. Shirton asserted that every retail yardman should watch collections carefully during these trying days. He had outlined only roughly the methods in use in small towns and much that had been said by him might not apply to lumber merchants in cities who had their own special system of dealing with these matters and getting in payment promptly for all materials sold. CANADA LUMBERMAN 47 Business and Amusement at Regular Session Wholesale Lumbermen Entertained by Breezy Addresses, Magic, Mind Reading and Other Features. Big Picnic will be Held at End of June.—Orders are Many Varied in character and entertaining in its features was the regular monthly meeting of the Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Asso- ciation, Inc., which was held at the Albany Club, Toronto, [riday April 20th. There was a good attendance and after the regular busi- ness was disposed of, several interesting addresses were delivered. A couple of amendments to the constitution were passed, one to the effect that each of the standing committees of the Association should consist of three members, the first-named member as chair- man and that the Entertainment Committee should be increased from three to five members. Another amendment concerned the Bureau of Information reports and dealt with the advisability of getting after those who are dilatory or indifferent in regard to sending in their monthly returns. A. E. Eckardt said the Bank Act was now under revision at Ottawa and he thought some of its provisions might well be amend- ed. He believed that certain banks occasionally urged customers to buy more than they should, and then when the opportune time arrived, closed down on them. He did not say that this was a gen- eral practice but instances could tbe furnished where lumbermen had lost money through such a proceeding. Mr. Eckardt moved, sec- onded by Mr. Lovering, the following motion which was referred to the Committee on Legislation with full power to act immediately : Be is resolved that the officers of the Association be and they are hereby instructed to memorialize the Honourable, the Minister of Finance, that in the opinion of this Association in the pending re- vision of the Bank Act provision should be made for either of the following matters, namely : (a) That securities under Section 88 of the Bank Act be register- ed in the manner in which chattel mortgages are now re- corded in the several provinces, or That any person stating in writing to any bank that he has been requested to supply goods on credit to any customer of the bank shall be entitled to information from such bank as to the securities given by such customer to the bank under Section 88 and the amount of the debt in respect of which the bank hold such securities. When is an Order Not an Order? A. C. Manbert said there were plenty of orders nowadays for lumber and sales were being made fast. He thought that some at- tention might be given to the subject and also to a consideration of when an order was not an order. In this connection Mr. Manbert submitted the following which sets forth interesting facts :— “Talking about orders. Henry Funginger, Treasurer of an Eastern paper house, puts over the query, ‘When is an order not an order?’ and answers it as follows :— ; ‘An ‘At Once’ order where there is a large past due account, is not an order—it is an embarrassment. An order for $1,000 from one who is not entitled to credit in excess of $200 is not an order—it is a grievance. An order for a new account without full references is not an order—it is a clog in the wheels and a possible source of bitterness. An order that is not plainly or correctly written is not an order—it is an aggravation. _ An order that does not show every special condition entered into between the salesman and the customer is not an _order—it is a breeder of misunderstanding and dissention.” (b) Mr. Bigwood Speaks on Kiwanis The Lumbermen’s Association are seeking to develop speakers within their own body and to this end a beginning has been made. F. H. Bigwood, president of the Kiwanis Club, Toronto, delivered a short address on “Analysis of Policies and Methods,” with special reference to the work and worth of Kiwanis Clubs. Mr. Bigwood said that during the year just closed business men had to analyze policies and methods closer than ever before, and it was a tribute to their foresight that business to-day is upon a fairly sound basis. Dur- ing the war years and since there had been great activity or a ten- dency for business men to get together for various purposes. Clubs and associations had sprung up here and there but some had fallen iby the wayside owing to the stress of the last three years. Mr. Bigwood then made reference to the Kiwanis Club and its remark- able development during the past eight years. He said the organiza- tion was composed of unselfish, high-minded and practical business men and had attracted to its membership the outstanding men of every community where it had gone. There are now close to 1,000 clubs with a membership of 100,000. The motto of the Kiwanis Club is “We Build.” Mr. Bigwood dwelt in detail upon the object and spirit of the club, its mission and achievements and what had been done in Toronto during the Yuletide and other seasons for under-privileged children, orphans, the afflicted and the unfortunate, the fire sufferers in Northern Ontario, etc. He concluded by saying that Kiwanis is transforming the indifferent Canadian and American business men into workers and thinkers along lines of civic better- ment and national improvement. Mr. Bigwood’s talk was followed by a clever exhibition of sleight-of-hand tricks by Thomas Bowyer, secretary to H. Boultbee. This feature was well received, and later in conjunction with L. D. Barclay, chairman of the Entertainment Committee, an exhibition of mind-reading was staged which startled the members by its re- markable penetration, accuracy and concentration. Messrs. Barclay and Bowyer seemed to be able to read the inmost thoughts of every man in attendance and reveal the past, present and future. Early Days of the Yukon A. L. Eastcott, of the Pembroke Lumber Co., Pembroke, who was a guest during the evening, gave a short address. He stated that what we often regarded as our difficulties were really our oppor- tunities. If we meet these difficulties and overcome them we advance and are thus able to achieve higher and better things. This is the age of progress, and opportunities presented themselves on every hand if they were only taken advantage of. The great game of golf was full of difficulties and hazards and by reason of this was one of the most attractive pastimes of the day. Hon. Justice Craig, who for thirteen years administered justice in the Yukon in the early days when the gold fever was at its highest and the country was visited by all nationalities in the world, gave a vivid and graphic de&cription of the scenes from 1900 on until Daw- son City was transferred from a wild, reckless, riotous mining camp into a law abiding, peaceful community. Judge Craig paid a. high © tribute to the efficiency and faithfulness of the Northwest Mounted Police and told of the rise and downfall of many claimants and searchers after the yellow metal. When Mr. Justice Craig arrived in the Yukon in 1900 his first dinner cost him $11 and a mere shake- down where he slept separated him from another $5. Everything was exceptionally high in price and turkeys as much as $32 a- piece. 154 cases consisting mainly of cases of jumping claims, tres- passing and water rights, were awaiting trial when he reached Daw- son. The speaker gave a number of interesting personal observa- tions on the administration of justice, the maddened search for gold, the recklessness of those who secured pay-dirt, the enforcement of law and order, the social life and other features. At the close a hearty vote of thanks was tendered the speaker by A. C. Manbert and W. J. Lovering. It was announced by the Entertainment Committee that arrange- ments were being made for a picnic which will take place the latter part of June. It is probable that the rendezvous will be the Lake Shore Country Club where a most delightful outing was held by the members a year ago. ; Receipts at the Crown Timber office, New Westminster, for the fiscal year ending March 31st were $175,384.44, the highest figure in the history of the office, being over $25,000 more than previous high record of 1922 when the exchequor was enriched to the amount of $149,546.51, | 48 “The cut of lumber in Canada during 1921 was considerably less than it has been any year since 1908 when accurate annual statistics cf the lumber industry were first collected,’ says the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, Ottawa. ‘During 1921 only 2,869,307 feet, b.m., of lumber, valued at $82,448,585 was reported. This is a decrease in quantity of one-third of the production of 1920. The average value of lumber at the mill decreased by over $10 per M, causing a drop in the total value of lumber sawn of $85,723,402, or over 50 per cent.” These figures are supplied in reference to the lumber industry by R. G. Lewis, B.Sc.F., who is in charge of the forest products statistics. The number of mills reporting in 1921 was 3,126, a reduction of over ten per cent from 1920 and not only were there fewer mills in operation in 1921 but the average number of days each mill was in operation during the year was only 82% out of a possible 304 working days as compared to 96 for 1920. This resulted in an aver- age production per mill for the Dominion of only 918 thousand feet while the average in 1920 was 1,235 thousand feet. The total number of employees on salaries and wages in the ‘sawmills in 1921 was 30,337 as compared to 41,158 in 1920. The total payroll in 1921 was $26,707,689, a reduction of over forty per cent from 1920, The average rates of pay for all classes of employ- ment in this industry were considerably less than in 1920. Other agencies of production in the sawmills such as fuel used, power. em- ployed and miscellaneous expenses incurred, all showed reductions from 1920 to 1921. Why Export of Canadian Pulpwood Should Stop By W. F. V. Atkinson The labor required to manufacture our wood is the very bread . of our citizens. Since the war many are still seeking employment. When our wood is exported it is lost, fails to maintain existing in- dustries or supply new ones. With it goes the means to buy food, fuel and the necessities of life. The payroll is over one-third the cost of newsprint. The unmanufactured wood exported is almost entirely pulp- wood. Sawlogs are sometimes exported and other forest products might also ‘be mentioned, even Christmas trees, but they are not important. Under a general law prohibiting the export of raw forest material these, as well as any pulpwood that could not be used here, might, if necessary, be exported under special permits. The Parliament of Canada alone can regulate exports. Pro- vincial Legislatures controlling their own natural resources grant no cutting rights on public lands without stipulating the manufac- ture in Canada of all wood cut. Thus the pulpwood exported is cut only on private lands. , ; It is sometimes claimed that legislation preventing the export of pulpwood would be an infringement of private rights and that it would injure the settler clearing land for farming. To satisfy these claims Canadian mills would most likely contract for a large part of each year’s requirements from this source if the price delivered were not more than the cost of the waod cut on their own limits. Crown dues, rents and all proper charges, such as sinking fund, or replacement value of standing timber, to be included. Prices and quantities could be adjusted yearly through some Government official representing the freehold wood producers within a logical freight radius of each mill. Exemptions from sales tax would help. Pulpwood exports average over one million cords annually. Can- adian mills are now able to absorb more than this quantity. New mill building and extensions are making this readjustment easier. _ The census of industry shows that during three years wages and salaries paid to convert pulpwood to pulp and paper averaged four- teen dollars per cord. During the same period three and two-thirds million cords were exported and Canadian payrolls lost fifty-one million dollars. Within the last seven years one hundred and ten million dollars were thus lost to our workers. Let us glance at the heavy loss to the industry and to the coun- try as a whole caused by the export of all this wood. For example the figures show that had the wood exported in 1921 alone been man- ufactured here its sale value would have been increased by fifty- seven and one-half million dollars. Various official estimates of the pulpwood resources of Canada have been published. More accurate information is now being obtained, Recent figures show less than half of former estimates. CANADA LUMBERMAN . Statistical Story of Lumber Production in Canada By R. G. Lewis, Ottawa forest fires in all parts of the Dominion. In spite of the reduced production of sawn lumber this group — of mills reported increases in the quantities of lath and shingles pro- duced amounting to over five per cent in the case of lath and over four per cent in the case of shingles. These increases in quantity, were, however, accompanied by decreases in average value, causing decreases in the total values of lath and shingles produced. The figures for 1921 are, lath 804,449 thousands valued at $4,188,121 and shingles 2,986,580 thousands valued at $10,729,096. Other miscel- laneous by-products of the sawmills show a general increase in total value especially in the cases of slack cooperage stock, sawn ties, poles, posts, mine timbers and piling. Decreases were reported in connection with veneer, tight cooperage stock and dressed lumber. The total value of all classes of products. for 1921 was $116,896,- 559 as compared to $207,163,577 for 1920. : The following table shows the production of lumber in Canada by provinces for 1920 and 1921: Quality Value 1921 1921 1920 1921 CANADA 4,298,804 2,869,307 168,171,987 82,448,585 British Columbia 1,443,270 996,266 54,394,069 24,867,321 : Ontario 992,901 734,054 43,142,377 24,518,164 Quebec 916,422 649,334 37,128,201 19,656,462 New Brunswick 515,785 269,983 18,374,126 7,810,622 — Nova Scotia 270,166 115,246 9,275,934 3,054,995 Manitoba 58,419 61,727 ' 2,058,590 1,398,067 Alberta 41,229 26,002 1,480,186 711,149 Saskatchewan 54,371 10,892 2,074,621 273,093 | Prince Edward Island 6,241 5,803 243,883 158,712 | In some districts mills will be out of wood in a few years. Large northern areas of scattered timber must remain commercially in- accessible. The end is dangerously near. The annual cut averages now four million cords. This is only a part of the annual depletion. Fires, grubs, beetles, fungi and winds have admittedly destroyed twice as much as was cut since 1920. The end of our pulpwood means the end of present methods of paper making. This industry now employs over thirty-five thousand operators, not including the host of men who cut and bring the wood to the mills. Both classes support many dependents. All these facts speak for themselves.. More could be said. The above is surely a sufficient argument to warrant the immediate prohibition of unmanufactured wood. Everything Depends on the Forests When a man writes his name, reads his paper, puts on his shirt, his near-silk socks, his necktie, his shoes, his ‘black suit, when he | smokes his pipe, when he takes aspirin or quinine or when he takes acetanalid for a headache, when he goes hunting or to the movies, — when he plays a phonographic record, when he uses his radiophone, when he paints his house, varnishes his floor, lights his fire, eats his” sausages, he comes into contact directly or indirectly with the chemical utilization of the forest. The chemistry of the forest, the chemical utilization of wood, whether we know it or not, is part and parcel of our daily existence. The discovery of new uses for wood is keeping ahead of the discovery of substitutes for wood, which ex- plains the necessity of governments and all forest authorities adopt-_ ing a policy that will provide for the scientific handling of this great and rapidly diminishing natural resource. One hundred and forty thousand Canadian boys have been or- ganized by the Canadian Forestry Association into a Young Cana- dians’ Forest League and will ‘be on the alert this year to prevent Badges and detailed in- structions are being supplied and the entire body will act as an auxiliary foree to the fire rangers when occasion offers. : The Hawkesbury Lumber Co., of Ottawa, will have a busy sea- son.

In a day of disproportionate shapes and poorly realized outlines the soundness and beauty of such a house commends it immedi- ately to the man of moderate means who is seeking the realities as well as the appearances of a home. According to estimates of the Home Owners’ Service Institute this house may be erected for between $7,000 and $10,000. An outstanding advantage of this house is the fact of its being square which means, of course, that it is the most economical, other things being squal. It is twenty-six feet square, two full stories high and contains six livable rooms, well arranged, well lighted and well ventilated. The ex- terior of shingles laid with a wide exposure make it possible to gain a very pleasing effect in painting. White, perhaps, with green blinds will show off the house handsomely. The house was designed by Whitman S. Wick of Middle- town, N.Y., and complete plans therefor may be obtained upon application to the Home Owners’ Service Institute, No. 37 West 39th Street, New York, N.Y. It may be built on a forty foot lot facing any direction except west. The arrangement of the house is such that upon entering the hall from the veranda, which with simple colonial columns extends all the way across the front, an open stair- way leading to the second floor is found at the right. To ’ the left of the hall is a living room containing a fireplace and beautiful colonial mantel. This room is lighted from two sides by three large windows and has ample wall space for the placing of furniture. The dining room beyond, connects directly with the kitchen. A pantry with built-in case and counter and a rear porch opens from the: kitchen and makes the whole relation- ship of these units of the house thoroughly convenient for the house-wife. Another commendable convenience is a grade entrance at the side of the house which connects with the cellar stairs. Outline of Specifications The second floor has three bed-rooms each thoroughly well ventilated. A large closet opens,from each bed room. The ‘bath room has all three toilet fixtures and a built-in medicine cabinet with a mirror over the wash bowl. A closet for linens containing shelves and drawers is built into a recess in the hall. The house has a large attic reached iby stairs from one of the bed-rooms and the ‘cellar contains heater and coal bins plant at option of owner. and may be divided off for laundry, storage rooms and the like if desired. One chimney contains all flues.

Shingles Extensive Advertising Will be Done to Focus Wide Attention on ‘‘Edg-Grain Columbia Inspected” The Shingle Manufacturers’ Association of British Columbia has decided to make their product more widely known and increase its prestige and popularity by an extensive advertising campaign. The propaganda for ‘‘Edg-Grain British Columbia Inspected” shin- gles will be a comprehensive one, national in character but specific in detail. The object is to acquaint the public more thoroughly with the qualities of high-grade red cedar shingles and to drive home to retailers, builders and architects the merits of a roof covering, which the producers believe, they have been too backward in proclaiming. There is not much wisdom in having a worth-while article unless the world is informed of the fact. Every lumber retailer, builder, architect and home owner is, of course, familiar with the protective features of shingles and has knowledge—more or less vague perhaps—regarding British Columbia shingles, but no concerted, co-operative effort has been made by the manufacturers in that province to focus attention upon “Edg-Grain Columbia Inspected.” This is the new trade-mark which has been adopted and the shingle men of the Pacific Coast recognize that they have been mak- ing the mistake of advertising the wooden shingle irrespective of its quality. They have awakened up to the fact that there are shingles and shingles, and are of the opinion that, by the new policy adopted, they will succeed in establishing that the edge-grain mark on a British Columbia wooden shingle is equal to the hall mark on a piece of silver. The Shingle Manufacturers’ Association of British Columbia announces that the use of the trade-mark will not be permitted on any shingle that is not up to the high standard set by the Associa- tion, and declare there will be no exception whatever to this rule. The distinctive trade-mark will protect the consumer and supply the retail dealer with an article bearing the endorsement of the combined industry producing it. To educate the customer and not influence legislation is the object of the campaign which is being launched at an opportune time—just when spring construction work is under way. Illustrated and instructive display advertisements will appear in leading trade journals and national magazines. The publicity plan will be followed up by the issue of attractive literature, giving the history of the B.C. red cedar shingle from the tree to the roof and explaining how it can be laid to the best advantage. Booklets of this character broadcast everywhere should prove useful both as a manual and valuable as a work of reference. J. A. Edgecumbe, president of the B.C. Shingle Manufacturers’ Association, and Fred. H. Lamar, secretary-manager, state that the present publicity effort is not a spasmodic one but is the ground- work for a continuous campaign to establish in the public mind the real facts concerning “Edg-Grain British Columbia Inspected” shingles. There has been a generous response from the industry through- out British Columbia and we understand practically all producers are getting ‘behind the publicity project, which, it is believed, will do much to stabilize production and create wider demand and greater appreciation of the “Edg-Grain British Columbia Inspected” shingles. Sues Shareholders for Company Debt In a judgment in the Superior Court at Montreal recently Mr. Justice Maclennan dismissed the action of Joseph Drouin against Joseph Lefebvre for recovery of $3,000 which plaintiff claimed as balance due him on the sale of timber limits to the Compagnie Boune Bay, Limitee, by the defendant, who was said to be a member of com- pany mis-en-cause. Defendant inscribed in law alleging that he could not be held responsible for the company, and it was on this point that the court dismissed the action. Plaintiff said that on February 19, 1913, the defendant subscrib- ed $5,000 to the capital stock of the company, whose aim was to pur- chase from the plaintiff certain timber limits for the sum of $225,000. This subscription was payable—ten per cent. cash, ten per cent on April 1, 1913 and ten per cent every two months afterwards. The defendant made the first cash payment, and paid the second install- ment. On May 30, 1913, the organization of the company was com- pleted and plaintiff transferred certain timber limits to the company. It was agreed that he was to keep all the subscriptions already re- ceived, including $1,000 paid by the defendant. It was also stipulated that he was to receive further subscriptions as they matured, includ- ing those to be made by the defendant. The defendant made two more payments and then stopped, leaving a balance due of $3,000. Plaintiff said the company refused to claim this sum from the defend- — ant. Hence the present action. Defendant submitted in his inscription-in-law that, in virtue of section 39 of the Federal Companies’ Act under which the company was incorporated, he, as a shareholder of the company, could not — be held responsible for the debt of the company. Mr. Justice Maclennan, in giving judgment, said the plaintiff sued the defendant as a debtor of the company mis-en-cause, and did not al- lege that he had obtained judgment against the company. A writ of execution of such a judgment was produced, with a statement that the plaintiff was not satisfied. But the federal law under which the cOmpany mis-en-cause was incorporated prohibited the defendant as shareholder from being sued for payment of his shares by a creditor of the company. Under the circumstances, the court held that there was no lien de droit between plaintiff and defendant to justify the pre- sent action. Therefore, defendant’s inscription-in-law was maintain- ed and the action dismissed. Mr. Booth Speaks Strongly on Fire Hazards In a recent interview, J. R. Booth, of Ottawa, veteran lum- berman and paper manufacturer, said that he did not fiind that over 15 per cent of operating lumbermen were able to make a profit cover- ing a long period of years. Several ‘big lumbering concerns in the Ottawa district he knew had retired from the field either with no gains at all or with the loss of several hundred thousand dollars. “And yet, the public mind,’ Mr. Booth continued, “is stuffed with false notions that because a man is in the lumber business with a government limit, he has taken an unfair advantage of his fellow men and is a fit target for punishment. I do not think that the pub- lic is prejudiced against lumbermen, as individuals, but they do feel some bitterness toward men who are dealing in the leased property of the state. They are ready to exclaim: “That man has established a big industry on public-owned timber lands,’ forgetting that for every dollar the lumberman takes out for himself, the workers, the merchants, the railroads, the public treasury, all take many dollars.” Mr. Booth added that for every dollar’s worth of lumber cut, many dollars worth were burned and that only a shortage of forest products, accompanied by high prices, will make the public realize the urgency for stamping out forest fires. He stated that the pro- portion of trees of timber size that had been taken out by the axe as compared with those destroyed by fire was one in twenty. With the large limit holdings, if fire could be eliminated Canada would have a self-perpetuating forest supply. The nation has been forced to the- edge of a timber dilemma, not by the lumbermen, but by forest fires. The veteran Canadian captain of industry who is now in his 97th year, added that the consumer of forest products would have to pay for the terrible loss created annually by conflagrations which would also result in increasing the price of paper. The prices of all forest products were bound ,to ascend and nothing could stop them. Mr. Booth spoke of some old documents he had been rummaging through. One of them referred to lumber sales seventy-five years ago when the price of sawn white pine was just twelve and thirteen dollars a thousand feet. The price for the same grade in 1923 is close to eighty dollars a thousand feet. “T can see no other remedy for the ever-increasing ruin of the forest resources of the country,” observed Mr. Booth, “except to let the people ‘bring themselves to such a tragic condition of scarce timber and pulpwood with extreme costs for every foot of cord they buy that some drastic cure will be sought and applied. Forest conservation will arrive when the absence of it pinches our popula- tion hard enough.” Will Take Cotton Out of Cottonwood The cotton of the cottonwood, the popular shade trees of many cities, need be no longer a drawback to the tree’s utility, according to W. H. Long, of the New Hampshire station of the U.S. bureau of plant industry, who has developed a spraying treatment which will prevént the growth of the cotton-bearing blossoms without injury to the tree. The same treatment may be given trees of allied species which blossom before the leaves come out. It consists of spraying the blossoms as soon as they open in the spring with a very dilute solution of sulphuric acid, preferably of a strength of two per cent. ‘This kills the blossoms which later in the season would otherwise produce the tufts of soft, downy cot- ton that strew the streets and fill the air along streets planted with cottonwoods to the annoyance of the property owners. CANADA LUMBERMAN Add Regular Draying Charge to Every Load \ Levy for Delivering Lumber Should be Made According to Distance and Condi- tion of Road over Which it is Necessary to Travel — Cartage Problem The problem of delivery has always been a perplexing one with the average retail lumberman. Should he charge for the service of taking building material to the place where it is to be used, or should the conveyance of the same be included in the price of the produce? There are many differences of opinion, varying according to the lo- cality, the nature and extent of the consignment, .the relative im- portance of connection of.the buyer and the trade custom. In Quebec City of late years it has been a practice to make cer- tain charges fixed upon a definite basis, and all parties who order ma- terial. know exactly what they have to pay. There is no favoritism shown and everything is set forth in clear, unmistakable terms. In other centres careful inquiries are made as to the amount of lumber that a man wants, where he desires it delivered and for what pur- pose it is to be used. Then if the order amounts to a respectable sum, no charge is made, but if it is a “jag” of a few boards of 2 x 4’s, the price is raised from 25 up. This is included in the bill and the dealer imagines that the customer thinks that no fee is made for carting, and the total value of the whole transaction lies in the lumber, with delivery thrown in. This is a sort of a camouflage and the majority of retailers find it pays to be open and above board. If a man desires some pine straps, spruce flooring or hemlock studding right away and cannot wait until a service wagon or truck goes in his direction, most dealers tell him frankly that he will have to pay for the special delivery. If, however, he waits until a route vehicle starts from the yard, he will not have to pay for the cartage. It is Constant Source of Worry There are a few things to remember, however, that somebody is paying for that delivery, and it is interesting to publish the observa- tions of G. C. Gilstrap, of Clafliri, Kan., who in a recent letter to the “American Lumberman,”’ sums up the situation in a most compre- hensive way. His remarks as follows are certainly worth reading :— Delivery service has always been a source of considerable worry to lumbermen. Where it is undertaken without a direct charge to cover the cost of drayage it becomes very aggravating. Many cus- tomers will ask the dealer to send out a dime’s worth of nails, a quart of paint, or a piece of moulding, and say, “Send it right away for | am in a hurry,” without a thought to the fact that it causes an extra ‘trip for the dealer, the expense of which is greater than the entire value of the goods, so that the dealer not only loses his profit on the transaction, but the goods as well. On the other hand, if he refuses to send it he incures the displeasure of the customer, and may lose his trade entirely ‘by such action. _ What lumberman has not sent a load of lumber out to some job and after the load had arrived there, found that the workmen in charge had carelessly ordered the wrong length, making it necessary to re- turn the whole load, or a large part of it? Or is there any dealer who has not had a carpenter order out a load of B & better flooring or finish, pick out the “better’’ and announce he had some left over, “So send out the truck right away and get it,” and found that only B was “left over’? How many of these people offer to pay for the extra trouble and expense? Or if they are asked if they don’t think they ought to pay something to cover the extra expense of the needless trips, do they say “Sure, how much is it” or do they get all “het up” and say Jones never asks us to pay for delivering, so I will buy there after this’? Do they, or don’t they? Some One Pays for “Free” Delivery In the first place we look at the matter in the wrong light. We are accustomed to say “free delivery” when there is no such thing as free delivery, or “free” service of any kind, for that matter. There must be a charge somewhere to cover this cost, and there are just three ways of making this charge. First, the customer who receives the benefit of the delivery may pay for it either by direct charge, or by having it included in the amount of the bill. Second, it may be ad- ded to the cost of doing business, thereby making it necessary to raise the selling price on all merchandise to all customers enough to cover this extra expense. Third, the dealer himself may pay it out of his profits. The last of these three considerations should be eliminated with- out question. No dealer has a right to pay the charge himself. For, even if he can afford to do so and not go broke, he is giving a false impression of his neighbor lumberman who can not do so. ‘The trade will, of course think that the dealer who is delivering free is getting high enough prices, and that the one who is making a charge for the service is getting an excessive profit. Although the first dealer will probably find himself on the wrong side of the banking ledger before many years have passed away, the public will not think it was be- cause he sold too cheaply, but just another case of bad management, while the first impression as to the other dealers remain, and to them they are profiteers still. And the misguided, dejected dealer goes on his way, wondering how he could have failed when he seemed to be making good money. If this cost is added to the general expense and price raised on all material to cover it, then all customers are not treated alike and that is unfair to’ part of the trade. Particularly all building stores have some customers who come to the yard for their material while many others have their material hauled only a few blocks. ‘These are just as good customers, yet they must pay as much as the fellow who lives in the farthest house of the longest street of the town. Where Should Free Zone End Some dealers have even gone further in this delivery service and delivered five, ten and even fifteen miles in the country, with no charge There is no dividing line as to where to stop this service. If it is all right to deliver free for one block, why not ten blocks, and if ten blocks, why not fifty?. The same is true of country delivery, if one mile, why not ten miles? But why should the good customer, who does not ‘benefit by this delivery, help pay for the benefit the one who does? Is it reasonable to suppose that these good customers will remain satisfied when they realize that they are paying for the other fellow’s service? Experience does not so teach us. If the delivery charge is added indirectly to the bill covering the particular job, it can only be done in the nature of an estimate, which is not likely to be accurate. Usually there will be extra trips for unexpected purposes which were not allowed for in the estimate, or if allowance was made for them, it is likely that some competitor failed to make such an allowance and has therefore given a lower estimate and sold the bill, The only logical way, fair to all, is to add a regular draying charge to each load as it is taken to customer. If a large load is hauled, it should be charged for accordingly; if a small one, allow- ance should be made for the size of it. In like manner, charge should be made according to distance and condition of road over which it is necessary to deliver. It is usually a good policy to make the charge equal to, or almost as much as the city dray would charge for a like service, and in any case it should be enough to cover the cost of the service, including upkeep and interest, as well as the actual operating expense. Any dealer adopting this plan will find that most of his deliverv worries have been overcome; that he seldom has to make long trips with small loads;-that he will have only about one-half as much returned material to bring ‘back from the completed job, and that his customers are better satisfied than under the old haphazard system. Your Competitors Are Worrying, Too Let no dealer say he can’t charge for delivery because his com- petitors will not do it. If he will investigate a little, he will find that they have been having just as much grief over the old method of free delivery as he has had, and if he can convince them that he will always charge a reasonable amount for delivery they will be glad to join him on it. Let him see them, get them together and talk over the situation. In nine cases out of ten he will find them ready and anxious to join in the movement. Then while talking over the matter, make out a schedule of charges and let all adhere to this schedule. It is well to announce in the local paper that after a cer- tain date all deliveries will be charged for at the schedule adopted, and all dealers sign it. It is also well to give a few of the principal rea- sons why it is better and fairer to all to make direct charges for de- livery service. And when the dealer has secured the adoption of this system in his town, let him go home and take a good night’s sleep, for he will have removed one of the most aggravating worries of the lumberman, and he will never go back to the so-called free delivery system. or ww CANADA Lumberman Who is Coming to Front W. Norman Fox, who was elected a director and secretary- treasurer of the firm of Edward Clark & Sons, Limited, Toronto, at the recent annual meeting, is one of the progressive young lumibermen who in a compara- tively short time has made rapid progress. Mr. Fox takes a warm interest in all affairs connected with the lumber industry and was recently made chairman of the Membership Committee of the Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association, Inc. He is also as- sociated with the Rotary Club and other organizations. A To- ronto boy, the son of J. W. Fox, he was educated at the Parkdale Collegiate Institute, and later entered the accounting depart- ment of the C.P.R. When war broke out, he was overseas for ‘several years with the Royal Naval Air Service. He secured his commission as a lieutenant and in 1916 was engaged as a pilot in scout squadron work in the north- ern section of France and Flanders. He continued in the service until when flying near Ostend he was wounded by an enemy ma- chine gun and had his right leg broken. He managed to see that the machine was guided back to the airdrome behind the lines. Lieut. Fox entered a hospital at Calais in October 1917 and was later removed to the naval hospital at Chatham, England. He was invalided home in February 1918 and received: medical attention until July of that year. Then he was appointed an instructor with the Royal: Air Force, specializing in armament and machine gun work in the school at Hamilton. There Mr. Fox was when the Armistice was signed, and after- wards he became connected with the automobile business, special- izing in accessories, tops, ‘bodies, etc., until the latter part of 1921 when he joined the firm of Edward Clark & Sons, wholesale lumber merchants, as accountant. Mr. Fox is twenty-six years of age and is an enthusiast in the hardwood lumber line. W. Norman Fox, Toronto Convict Makes Good at Sawmilling Police Magistrate J. E. Jones, of Toronto, in delivering an ad- dress recently on “Prisons—Past, Present and Future,” before one of the Men’s Associations in the city, showed a number of interest- ing views of the prison farm at Burwash, twenty miles south of Sudbury. One of the pictures was that of the well-equipped sawmill on the farm. It is the custom of Magistrate Jones to visit the different places of detention once or twice every year in order to see how some of “his boys” are getting along and become acquainted with the pro- gress made in reform and humanitarian work. While visiting the sawmill Mr. Jones noticed a stalwart-looking fellow and thought his features seemed rather familiar. He gave a nod to the worker, and, walking up to him said, “Haven’t I seen you before?” 5 “Yes sir,” came the reply. “Where was it?” enquired the Magistrate. “You should know!” replied the mill laborer, “I am one of your customers. You sent me here and | am glad of it. I am not proud of serving a term in this institution but it has proved to be my salvation. I have worked in every department of this mill and am now the foreman of the plant. To-day I am a skilled laborer and when I get out you will never see me around a prison again. I feel that I am thoroughly competent to take any position in an ordinary lumber mill, and fill it.” The fellow again thanked Mr. Jones and said he had not fear about making good in the future, and turning out to be a respectable, law abiding citizen. Renfrew Holds Successful Banquet _A most successful banquet was held at the Hotel Renfrew on April 24th under the auspices of the Renfrew Board of Trade. The event was a well attended and enjoyable one. G. L. Murray, presi- dent of the Board of Trade, presided, and among the speakers were Sit Lomer Gouin, Minister of Justice, and J. O. Herity, manager of the Belleville Chamber of Commerce, the former replying to the LUMBERMAN toast of Canada and the latter to the Associated Boards of Trade. Hon. Thomas A. Lowe, who is well known in lumber circles, pro- posed the toast of Canada, and among the members of the banquet committee were G..M. French, wholesale lumber dealer, H.. A. Jordan and others. Renfrew certainly possesses a live Board of Trade, and the town purposes holding an Old Home Week which will be held from September 17th to 22nd. It is expected there will be a great reunion of the Old Boys of the town and county. William Dean is the ener- getic secretary of Old Home Week. May Develop Water Powers on Gatineau Further development of the water powers of the province of Quebec will likely result if plans now being laid out by the running streams commission to dam the Gatineau River with its 200,000 horsepower still available. Notwithstanding the fact that damming work of unprecedented magnitude is being carried out in the Lake St. John district at Kenogami and the Grande de Charge, the Que- bec Government will within the next two years start extensive works on the Gatineau River, on the Quebec-Ontario ‘border. Preliminary instructions were issued recently by the running streams commis- sion to prepare plans for the gigantic project and orders have been issued to a party of engineers to leave shortly to study the condition of development and the immediate advantages offered by the ex- ploitation of those water falls on that river. No work will be started this year, as reports will not be available before late in the summer. If the project is found to be practical at all points of view, work will — most likely be started early next spring and another large reservoir added to the series existing in the province. Higher Charges for Milling in Transit . The price for milling in transit work, such as dressing, resawing, sizing, etc., on points south of Bracebridge, Ont., has recently been increased on narrow widths from 25 to 50 cents per M feet. ~ All firms doing a milling in transit business are now exception- ally busy ‘and rushed with orders. One leading Ontario concern says that it has been compelled to increase the figure owing to the present shortage of labor which rendered it necessary to make a general advance in their pay-roll. : The new list, which now prevails, is as follows on 1-inch, 14%4- inch and 1%-inch stock :— Dressing 1 o2 sides) lx 4 and!) apis) We ae eee $2.50 per M Dressing 4 sides 1x4 and 5 Mees, Sula 3.00 per M Dressing 4 sides 1x6 and 7 MPR ees Sto 3 2.75 per M Dressing 4 sides Horecioevalel (IO) 48 oe sao au, ow ee 0. 2.50 per M Dressing 1 or 2 sides and matching 1x4 and5 ....... 3.25 per M Dressing 1 or 2 sides and matching 1x6 and 7 3.00 per M Dressing 1 or 2 sides and matching 1x8 and up 2.75 per M Resawing or ripping 1 cut ‘LX 4) LOn7 poo 3.50 per M Resawing or ripping 1 cut ix 8 and tip ner 3.25 per M For 2-inch stock the following prices are now in effect :— Dressing 1 om 2) sides) 25: 4) anid spy emi eee eee 2.25 per MI Dressing 4 sides 2x4 anid: 5 aoe eae Pes Be 2.75 per M Dressing 4 sides 2x6 cand: 7.0 Shh eae) ee ase 2 D0uper Mi Dressing 4 sides 2x8 and up 3) es.) j0 eee 2.25 per M Dressing 1 or 2 sides and matching 2x4 and 5 ....... 3.00 per M Dressing 1 or 2 sides and matching 2x6 and 7 ....:... 2.75 per M Dressing 1 or 2 sides and matching 2x8 and up ........ 2.50 per M Resawing or ripping 1 cut Piece imelaral igh) Wuh, fo. 3.00 per M Resawing or ripping 2 cuts 2x 4-and) tiple eee 6.00 per M Sizing dressed 1 side and 1 edge, 2x4, 5 and6 ....... 2.75 per M Sizing dressed 1 side and 1 edge, 2x7 and up ......... 2.50 per M Sorting andother work.) on dass cee eee 1.00 per M ‘Transferring im the soph o) 4054. che ce eee eC per M Measuning andlenadinio ten se sc 1.00 per M Bundling: < feb. bkh 0325 Mele EE sR 8S -1.00 per M- Three machine sets are allowed for each car but in case of an extra set the charge is $1.50 each. Instructive Booklet on Electric Hoists The Canadian Link-Belt Company has recently issued a very comprehensive and. instructive book on “Electric Hoists and Over— head Cranes.” It is not only profusely illustrated with photographs of actual installations showing some of the most recent Link-Belt electric hoist applications, but with line and wash drawings, the sub- ject of proper installation and efficient operation is fully covered. Going further than the usual “catalog,” this new book tells, in print and picture, of the practices and methods employed by users in widely divergent fields. For instance, the practices of a sewer contractor in Maryland, who used a hoist for removing dirt—and the methods employed at a ship building plant in Texas who employed the same means for moving and placing timbers, is illustrative of the wide range of activities. covered by this comprehensive book. Copies of the book, called “Book No. 480,” are obtainable from the Canadian Link-Belt Company, Limited, Montreal and Toronto, CANADA LUMBERMAN Babson Believes Canada is on Verge of Boom Canada and Canadian business are sound financially and fundamentally, according to Roger W. Babson, who recently returned from his annual inspection trip throughout the Uni- ted States and Canada. This widely known statistician says that, if anything, business is becoming active too rapidly in the United States. He sounds a warning note and says that while today this state of affairs prevails across the border, the situation may be better in Canada next year. Mr. Babson declares business conditions are much like a storm. They travel across the country in waves; each section gets the storm but all do not get it at the same time. In a recent interview, Mr. Babson expressed some worth- while opinions regarding the status of the different industries in Canada and drew comparison with conditions as they are shaping up across the border. He said that it seemed to be a fundamental principle of economics that the Dominion lag- ged about a year behind the United States, both as to action and re-action, decline and recovery. Mr. Babson continued. : “Everywhere people are talking prosperity, building is booming; prices are again advancing and wages are rising,” but too much of it all at once is dangerous. When a patient recovers too rapidly, a relapse may occur. The business men of the United States need to remember the warning of that old capitalist and philosopher— King Solomon—who cautioned the business men of Jerusalem that ‘pride goeth before de- struction and a haughty spirit before a fall.’ Personally, I much prefer the more gradual and deliberate manner by which Canada is passing through her readjustment. We have much to learn from our northern neighbor. Today condi- tions are better in the States; but unless we take care, busi- ness will be better in Canada in 1924 than it will be here. Improvement in Canada is Imminent “I spent some two weeks of my trip studying Canadian conditions,” continues Babson, “and was very much pleased with what I found. Various factors suggest that the Do- minion stands in about the same position in the economic cycle occupied by the United States six or eight months ago. If this is so, we must look for Canadian business to improve rapidly during 1923. The farming situation is better and more favorable conditions prevail in trapping and trading of the north woods owing to the state of the fur market and the plenitude of furred animals. British Columbia is in a more prosperous position than the prairies. Its farmers did fairly well last year and the fruit-growing sections had very pro- fitable yields. Lumber demand is expected to develop to quite sizeable proportions. Even in the mining towns I look for a fair improvement. In British Columbia business dur- ing the spring months should be good. “Canadian sales efforts during the next few months should be concentrated on the eastern provinces. ‘The indus- trial communities of Ontario and Quebec look relatively the best and even in the agricultural sections conditions are more It Pays to Stay With the Job Do you remember the childish superstitution about the pot of gold, buried where the rainbow touched the ground? But no one has ever found the end of the rainbow. Many a poor wanderer has followed the glittering lure of “easy money,” only to return after wasted years, weary in body and broken in spirit. The home stayer and the home makers are men who find prosperity and happiness. The worker who wanders from job to job, and from town to town, is following a rainbow that has no end. Serve your own selfish interest by staying with the employer who pays a just recompense for your skill and energy. Invest years of faithful service. Your reward will come in promotion, and your employer’s good will. There are days when men are too few for the work that must be done. There HAVE been years (and may be again) when men were plentiful and jobs were few. favorable than on the prairies. Mixed farming helped to light- en the load of the eastern farmer. Industrial activity in Can- ada is estimated to be in the vicinity of 70 per cent of capa- city. Unemployment and short time is still prevalent in some lines.. Gold mining is an outstanding exception. ‘This line is fairly busy and is resulting in considerable prosperity in such centres as Porcupine and Kirkland Lake, Ontario. “Industries manufacturing goods for human consumption or covering are perhaps most active and have the most en- couraging outlook. The best customers will be found in the cities. I have in mind all of the manufacturing centres of Southern Ontario and Quebec, but especially those producing pulp, boots and shoes, textiles, clothing and food products. In the maritime provinces, a firm foundation is being built up for business improvement. Basis undustries are now dull, but I believe that warmer weather will bring decidedly better markets for lumber, fish and other local products. By sum- mer, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia should look nearly as attractive to sales representatives as southern Ontario and Quebec. U. S. Must Turn to Canada A more hopeful feeling is developing, however, in the prairie and other agricultural regions. Better prices for farm products are helping the Canadians as well as the farmers in the States. As the Canadian farmer was slower in feeling the good effect of this increase in prices of farm products, so, he will enjoy it longer. It seems to be a fundamental principle of economics that the Dominion lags about a year behind the States, both as to action and reaction—decline and recovery. Hence, I say that while today conditions are better in the States, they may be better in Canada next year. Business conditions are much like a storm—they travel across the country in waves. Each section gets the storm, but all do not get it at the same time. “The United States should be better neighbors to Canada. Some day the States must turn to her for natural resources. When our timber is gone, when our water power is all de- veloped, when the price of land here makes the rising of cattle prohibitive, we must turn to Canada. “ “The Babson chart continues to register the slight in- flation to which I have already referred, Today it still stands at 5 per cent above normal. With the readjustment only 60 per cent completed, this is not a healthy sign. it is dangerous to raise prices or wages at the present time. Let us have prosperity, but let us not have inflation. Things that have re- cently occurred in the stock market, the spirit of the boot- leggers, and the general desire of almost everyone to get something for nothing are not healthy signs here in the States. We need more character and less speculation at the moment. It, of course, is true that men make values, but let us not forget that souls make men. When the day comes, that men must be laid off, be one of the workers selected to stay. Your employer isn’t deaf and dumb and blind. If he knows the men who are loyal, when the ‘teémpta- tion to follow the rainbow lure is strong. Keep to the work you know best—it’s a necessity now, and good business ANY time. Opportunity can be spelled with four letters—WORK. A Prescription—Try it Out If you are poor—work. If you are rich—continue to work. If you are burdened with seemingly unfair responsibili- ties—work. If you are happy—keep right on working. gives room for doubts and fears. If disappointments come—work. If sorrow overwhelms you and loved ones seem not true —work,.

They cover a very wide range and, perhaps, he does not get one difficulty removed before another presents itself for adjustment. The man who is forging to the front in business today is he who feels that he has not mastered every detail of his calling and is willing to learn. No matter how many years he has spent in a trade, he dis- covers that by rubbing shoulders with other men and coming in con- tact with other institutions and associations that he can pick up some pointers. He cannot do this by seeking to live only to himself, he must mix with other men engaged in the same vocation, No one man or firm has all the ideas that are extant or possesses a monopoly of brains and foresight. He may lead in one line today but is liable to lag behind tomorrow in another. It is only with watching every avenue of activity, every detail of development and giving the closest attention to purchasing, stock, delivery, service and collections he builds a strong mercantile structure that can withstand the attack of dull times and diminished building operations. A business may be conducted ever so efficiently but it can never reach as large proportions as it otherwise would unless it is bolstered up by advertising. The most progressive organizations in the country and the livest merchants in every centre are generally the heaviest users of printers’ ink and know the real value of well-directed pub- licity. There are comparatively few people still in business today who adhere to the old idea that advertising is not a trade builder. While volume of turnover has increased by reason of augmented population and enlarged wants, there is no doubt that a great deal of it is attributable to publicity. of pulling power and attractive ap- pearance. It is relatively easy to sella man something of which he is in dire need or has set his heart on but to convince him that he should spend money satisfying his social, recreational, intellectual or aes- thetic proclivities, is quite a different problem. MHere is where the strength and purpose of advertising comes in. It has made many lines of business bloom where there were no flowers before. Many a business man, who has built up his trade by publicity and has sudden- ly ceased to advertise, thinking that he was sufficiently well establish- ed and his wares widely enough known, has found that a decline has set in immediately after and eventually some competitor, who has kept unceasingly at it, has won the place: which he formerly held. Publicity is necessary all the time, but there are certain humans who seek to beguile themselves with specious arguments to the effect that advertising does not pay. They have tried it once or twice. They declare that it adds to the cost of goods and is not really essential in connection with a staple, ordinary, everyday commodities such ‘as lumber, lath, posts, flooring, shingles and builders’ supplies. This is a sadly mistaken notion, for it is inconceivable that hundreds of thou- sands of successful business men “would continue their vast publicity campaigns if such arguments as those outlined against the value and effectiveness of advertising held good, Then again there are other people who think that advertising — should do the whole trick; that it is a sort of amulet which will capture business without being backed up ‘by service or quality. In- every case it 1s necessary to deliver the goods. There is an old axiom to the effect that “the Lord helps those who help themselves,” and the same reference might be applied to advertising. It aids those ~ who seek to render worth and value in all deatinee with both old and new customers. Advertising, when well directed, wins repeat orders ion former buyers, as well as new patrons, and it is on this evidence of confidence and continued patronage that great businesses are built. Repeat transactions are best for any business and particularly so in the lum- ber lines. He, who advertises wisely and well, lives up to his promises, is quick to settle any claims or disputes, keeps himself and his busi- ness clear of suspicion or misrepresentation and does the right thing © at all times and occasions, is the one who wins out in the end and leaves a name that stands for all that is truest, best and most pro- gressive in the community. a The Growing Influence of Organization The lumber trade of the Province of Quebec was, until a few months ago, without any active trade associations, either manufac- turing, wholesale or retail. There was a small retailers’ associa- tion in the\city of Quebec and a limited association composed of the members of the Montreal Board of Trade. Previous attempts to form associations found poor response. The wholesalers of Mon- treal were the first to make any real move, this being followed by the retailers, with the result that Montreal now possess two active associations. The retailers have made a further advance, and are forming a provincial-wide association. ‘The Montreal retailers, under the presi- dency of J. P. Dupuis, have laid a substantial foundation for this wider organization. The meeting at which it was decided to ex- — pand, was very largely attended by dealers from all parts of the pro- vince. It looks, indeed, as if there is a widespread opinion that such an association is needed. A large number of retailers has been ap- pointed to do missionary work in their districts and to report the result to a meeting in Montreal on May 8th. The idea of dividing the province into eleven centres is a good — one. Each centre will constitute a branch, holding meetings as required to discuss local and general trade subjects. Each will be in touch with the head office in Montreal through accredited re- presentatives who will meet in Montreal at regular intervals. In an association of this character there is a tendency for the interest to diminish, owing to the fact that the majority of the members are too far away to be in constant touch with the central body. By means of direct representation this problem is largely solved and the inter- est thereby sustained. Co-operative effort is the basic motive for extending the Mon- treal Association into one covering the province. The problems of the retailer are much the same whether he lives in the towns and cities or in the country districts, and the object is to secure unity of action in dealing with these. It is obvious that a strong organiza- tion is more likely to secure results than a weak one; its influence is greater and its field of activity wider. The promotion of friendly intercourse between retailers in different parts of the province is a side of association work which is not to be overlooked. ‘Through — an association of this kind men engaged in the same line of ‘business are able to meet in a way not otherwise possible. This is especially true of a provincial-wide association where the monthly or quarterly meetings form a common ground for straightening out questions of mutual interest, for the cultivation of goodwill and for enlarging the social aspect in relation to trade matters. Watch Both Collections and Profits In the management of any business a great deal of attention is given to service, stock, cost accounting, delivery, overhead, insur- ance, shipping, etc., but one of the things most neglected is the mat- ter of collections. Many a dealer has gone down and under because he was too generous by nature or instinct. He sympathized too much with the other fellow; in fact, he could see the point of view of the plausible promiser or delinquent more quickly than he realized or was cognizant of his own pressing necessities. It should be re- — membered that a slogan heard some years ago contains more than a CANADA modicum of truth. It is that a sale is only a loss until it is paid. This is perfectly true and it is the cash collected which counts rather than the volume of outgoing stock or drays of material. Speaking the other day on the subject that prompt collections were essential to success, a leading retailer said that he had never known a dealer to go broke because he was too prompt a collector, but he did know of many who had succumbed because they allowed their customers to dictate the terms of payment. Continuing, he declared, “If you sell a man a load of lumber on time, amounting to $80 or $90. he is using $80 or $90 of your money without interest. It surely would be too bad if the customer allowed his indignation to rise because you asked him for the money belonging to you. I have noticed that the longer time you give a man, the harder it is to gather in the amount in arrears. Prompt collection is a success, al- _most beyond comparison.” Another thing pointed out. by this retailer was that the lack of profit is often due to'ignorance rather than any other cause. Dealers do not keep well posted on the markets, cost of doing business, the length of time accounts are to run, etc. Sometimes the yardman thinks he has made about 15 per cent when in reality he has not cleaned up 5 per cent, and sometimes has done business at a loss. It seems that a certain co-operative yard in the West had its man- ager on the carpet for a shortage. The heads of the concern claimed that he had sold everything at a profit of 15 per cent. Their per- centage of expense for doing the business, they maintained, was only 10 per cent on a $70,000 business, or $7, 000 in all. they contended, was $10,500 or a net clean up of $3,500, but it was not there. By some hocus pocus methods it had disappeared or, presto, a change had taken place. The crux of the matter was that this or- ganization had only made a net profit of $2,130 instead of $3,500, for ' the simple reason that they added 15 per cent to the cost and thought they had 15 per cent on the sales. It makes a vast difference whether you reckon your profits on the cost price or selling price. The two should never be confounded, for when one computes a percentage of profit on the buying price and the expense on the selling price, there is a decided divergence, and in this case there was a leak of almost $1,400. ; Very frequently retailers are asked to “estimate” on this and on that. Some take a deal of time and go to a lot of trouble to oblige _ people from whom they may never expect, and probably never will get business. They do not for policy’s sake like to turn inquiries or callers down flat, but at the same time they recognize that much of this “estimating” is of a fruitless character. One Western man hum- orously put it that, if he sold every bill on which he estimated, his plant would be the largest in Canada but, with a twinkle in his eye, he naively remarked, “When a dealer knows it is a non- -productive customer, he need waste but a few moments in “figuring.” On a $9,000 or $10,000 house he can, with ten minutes’ work, give offhand a price, whereas anyone, with an atom of knowledge regard- - ing building, is fully aware that this is a job requiring hours—rather than mites.” 15 per cent profit, LUMBERMAN "85 to courtesy. It is not only a matter of manners and mentality but also relates to epistles, both of a business and social character. There are more flagrant breaches of correspondence courtesy to-day than in any other line of activity. So many persons and firms, unless letters spell an order or promise something in the way of direct financial return, or prestige, neglect entirely the acknowledg- ment of all communications. They possibly imagine that in so doing no harm or affront can result from the oversight. When later pressed to a point where a reply is necessary, the offender generally gets out of the dilemma by representing himself as being “exception- ally busy,” “an oversight,” “fully intended to answer,” “letter got lost’ or “mislaid,’ “should have been attended to,’ etc.—excuses that are as flippant as they are frequent and might better not be proferred. The various organizations which seek to cultivate courtesy in business imight seek to extend its operation in other directions and see that it comprehends business correspondence as well as to con- duct in general. kal The Vital Element in Mercantile Life Confidence is a vital element in the lumber business. Without it, trade as carried on to-day would be impossible. How many trans- actions are executed on the mere word of the parties interested? How many sales and purchases are the results of telephone conversa- tions, sometimes confirmed in writing and sometimes not? The entire basis of such deals is confidence that the goods will be de- livered according to agreement by one party, and confidence that payment will be made by the other. It sometimes occurs that this confidence is misplaced; that the goods are not up to grade on the one hand and that the money is not forthcoming on the other. Every trade, however, is seeking to build up a reputation for reliability and honesty either as a buyer or seller. Even firms which are known to act questionably, are anxious to create a good impression—it may be for their own gain, but there is still the desire to ‘be well thought of by others in the trade. We do business on reputation. The public buys on reputation. A man or firm reputed to be untrustworthy or tricky is not likely to go far; the man or firm may get a certain amount of trade, but the chances are that repeat orders will not be given or accepted if the buyer or seller has been once caught. “What do you know about ?” is not an uncommon inquiry among men in a particular branch of business. Such inquiries are in essence directed to the reputation of the party concerned. As a rule, one hesitates to fill an order from a firm concerning whom we know little or nothing, but we have no such hesitation in the case of a firm with a good reputation or with whom other transactions have been satisfactory . A high financial rating is not everything— a reputation for fair dealing and for living up to obligations counts for a great deal. It is not without cause that many credit bureaus RL strong emphasis on this side of business dealing—an emphasis Why not Extend Courtesy to Correspondence | The third week in April was observed in many centres as “Cour- _ tesy Week.” The campaign was put on under the aegis and direc- tion of the Kiwanis Club, who offered valuable prizes to school children for the best essays on courtesy. Every member of the organization and his friends were urged to make special efforts to see that politeness and civility held full sway and that the trials, acerbities and perplexities of everyday existence were ameliorated as much as possible by a spirit of urbanity and consideration. It is hoped that the example set will continue to influence each ‘community and that all business negotiations and transactions will be marked by kindlier feeling -and more pleasant speech. In these days of rush and hustle we are inclined to be too gruff and surly, to neglect the little civilities which make agreeable the pathway of progress, and imagine that, by being sharp or acrid in reply, we are just a little different from our fellows. This is a miserable mistake. True culture and innate politeness are possessions which can be easily acquired by daily practice. Courtesy, however, is a broader term than many suppose. It does not alone mean elegance of speech or exemplary deportment, but should be extended to other relations in life. Many men, who are thoughtful and considerate in conversation and conduct, are far from being polite or punctilious in the matter of meeting their letter- writing obligations. Inquiries, communications, memoranda and other messages are sent time and time again without any appropriate answer or even a formal acknowledgment. It has been well said that honesty has a broader application than merely paying one’ s debts or never uttering an untruth. It implies being true to one’s nature, to one’s friends, to one’s convictions and to one’s ideals. The same interpretation may be made with respect a tay. orn of a long experience in dealing with traders’ affairs in many lines of commerce. fo No Man Can “Go it Alone” There are three requisites for a successful business. They apply to your business, to any business. The first is a plan. The second is capital. The third is organization. And the greatest of these is the plan. Assuming that you have the organization—that you, the boss, are the organization—and that you have the capital, which may be your own character and credit—have you the plan? The plan must be a comprehensive plan—made up of detailed plans for developing new business and keeping it when you have got it. The successful business of the future will be the business of ideas, of consistent planning, planning in such a way that you may not only meet changed conditions, but yourself change the conditions to your own advantage. Ideas are often purely inspirational. More often they are adaptations and modifications of old ideas. It is no long- er possible for a merchant or manufacturer to shut himself off from the activities of his fellows. Every source of inspir- ation must be tapped. The plans of your competitors in your own town and in other parts of the country are of vital con- cern to you. No man can “go it alone.” This is the reason why you should attend district meet- ings and your Association convention. As sources of inspir- / ation and ideas these meetings are your largest and nearest, fi supply. 56 CANADA LUMBERMAN What The Lumber Trade is Doing in Canada Mr. Hutcheson says that the hardwood floor- recently The Taylor Lumber Co., Limited, Winnipeg, was incorporated.

C. Keeley, Coast manager of the Canadian Government Mer-— chant Marine recently addressed the Rotary Club at Prince Rupert, B:C., and said that he was surprised to find the mills there not operating. He said the mills in Vancouver were working day and night, and recommended that Prince Rupert develop local cargoes which would mean the C.G.M.M. boats coming there. loads were available vessels would, nevertheless, come for such loads. EK. W. Backus, of the Fort Frances Pulp & Paper Co., Fort Frances, Ont., has purchased the holdings of the Rat Portage Lum- Inge (CO, company’s Pacific Coast interests. The Rat Portage Lumber Co., whose business interests centre in the Kenora district, was at one time one of the biggest operating concerns in Canada, and the head of the organization was the late Sir D. C. Cameron, Lieut.-Governor. of Manitoba. Toussaint Prefontaine, one, of the oldest retail lumbermen in Canada, died in Montreal on April 18, aged 87 years. He retired several years ago from active business, ‘which is now carried on under the name of ‘I’. Prefontaine and Company, Mr. T. Prefontaine being one of his nephews.

An item of much interest to shareholders of lumber, pulp, paper and other companies is-that the Ontario Companies’ Act is being amended so that any shareholders in a company may now receive a ‘financial statement by merely asking for it, failing which there is a penalty of $100. A sub-committee of the legal “committee of the Legislature was appointed to consider the proposed amendment that ‘no payment or payments shall be made to the president, vice-presi- dent or any director o fthe company, other than as salaries to officers for actual services as manager, secretary or treasurer, in any year in which a dividend of less than five per cent. is declared and paid to the shareholders of the company.” D.

The man behind this great enter- prise is Frank Kent, president of the Seaman, Kent Co., Limited, Toronto—another illustration of the utterance of Emerson that any great institution is but the lengthened shadow of some personality whose pluck and perseverance never let go. At the back of this gigantic undertaking in the flooring field is one who has risen from the ranks and knows the process of wood production from the camp to the consumer. Mr. Kent spent several - seasons in the bush, mills and factories getting first hand knowledge of operations and coming closely in contact with men and materials. _ He is practical and progressive and, in the face of setbacks amany and difficulties not a few, steadily persisted and won a foremost _ place as one of the forceful factors in national development. - The story of the inception and expansion of “Beaver brand” flooring in popularity and demand is an equally entrancing one. To- day the capacity of the plants of the company is two and a half million feet a month and the investment in factories, equipment, _ yards, warehouses, limits, etc., represents over a million and a half dollars. The Sea- man, Kent Co. is an aggressive organization pend its esprit de corps and co-operation are _ most marked. These characteristics extend into every avenue of the business with the result that quality, merit, dependability, at- _tractiveness and ‘beauty are distinctive of Bevery foot of the output of an organization which has made the name of Seaman, Kent | synonymous with that of hardwood flooring, _ not only in all the provinces of the Dominion _ but even in foreign fields. _ To describe the process of its manufac- ture, the many operations, the equipment in- _ stalled, the facilities required, the selling and distribution systems and other details, would only be a recital of routine whereas the read- ers of the “Canada Lumberman” are more - interested in the men and the material. A few figures must satisfy. The dry kiln equip- ment of the company accommodates 925,000 feet, and the cooling shed capacity is, ap- _ proximately, 300,000 feet, so that there is dry and cooling accommodation available at any “given time of 1,225,000 feet. There is a | storage track capacity, for lumber ready for _ the kilns to the extent of 250,000 feet. The _ company have, therefore, on hand 1,500,000 feet of lumber constantly on kiln tracks. _ The Seaman, Kent Co. \believe that quality tells and that every expenditure in the way of care of the finished material is amply _ justified. The building trade knows that lumber cannot be properly _ dried and treated in kilns doing custom work. To ensure lumber pecing. to the machines in perfect condition, ample kiln capacity is _ essential right at the point of manufacture and the process must be _ supervised by men who are proficient in this particular line. Seaman, _ Kent Co. recently enlarged the cooling sheds at West Lorne, Ont., _which plant, owing to the large number of orders, on hand, is now _Tunning both night and day. The other factories of the company: _ are located at Meaford and St. Agathe, Que., and there are modern _ warehouses in Toronto, Montreal, Winnipeg and Edmonton. ~ _ _ Rigid regulations provide for a thorough examination of every foot of hardwood flooring that goes from the mills. Selecting and _ grading are an exact science with the firm and the purchaser is assured that his completed floors will not run below the standard selected. f _ Much more might be said regarding the enterprise and develop- ment of the Seaman, Kent Co. who are enthusiastic exponents of icity and have made known far and wide the attractiveness, | a | rability, cleanliness and sanitation of hardwood flooring. The CANWADA LUMBERMAN 5 A Man and His Business—Now the biggest in the British Empire Frank Kent, Toronto =} propaganda carried on by them has done much to banish the daily. drudgery of household work and make inviting the interior of many a Canadian home. Vhe work has also broadened the business of the average retail lumber dealer, extended the activities of contractors, improved the appearance of many edifices and generally placed structural art on a higher plane. From the forest tree to the polished floor of my lady’s salon, banquet hall or assembly room is a story symbolic of the Seaman, Kent Co. Yet when all is told, it must be remembered that back of the institution there is the so-called human element which runs through the entire personnel of the organization. Many heads of the departments have been for years in the service of the firm, and loyalty and devotion are qualities which tally in the widening and welfare of any business. The staff, which now consists of over three hundred, has been stimulated by the example of the president and general-managez. Mr. Kent’s hobby is work and more work, and yet he is a man who is bigger than his business. His life has not run solely along one groove or been confined within shop or office walls. His sympathies and work are cosmopolitan in character and freely has he given of his time and talent to public, philanthropic and humanitarian enterprises. While through initiative and foresight Mr. Kent has built up a company, the largest of its kind under the British flag, he has demonstrated that he is a man of generous motives and _ wide sympathies. For several terms he was Mayor of Meaford where he resided for many years until the company removed its head office to Toronto in 1920 and ‘became incorporated. He is a director of the West End Y.M.C.A. and chairman of the Boys’ Farm Committee of the Rotary Club. At a recent meeting of the Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association in Toronto, Mr. Kent gave a short review of the great task which he and others are helping to carry out among the under-privileged boys of the city. A home is being conducted at Wilcox Lake, North Yonge St., to look after lads whom Judge Mott of the Juvenile Court considers worthy of being given a chance rather than sending these erring ones to prison or a detention home. Mr. Kent believes that the father should be a companion to his boy; should try to enter into his son’s life, under- stand his aims and ambitions and spend con- siderable time with the lad. It pays in every way, not alone in morals, but in manhood. Much more might be added but a few of the sign-posts of a successful career have been pointed out. ‘Mr. Kent was born near Bowmanville just a year before Con- federation and spent several years in Bruce County, after which he came to Toronto and became an apprentice in a furniture factory at the low wage of $2.50 per week. Less than twenty years ago in the upper flat of a factory on Northcote Ave., with only a hundred dollars borrowed capital, his real start was made in the flooring line. He would go out and sell the product in his spare time and during daylight hours see that it was turned out. Quality was his slogan and he gained the confidence of his consumers and built up surely but steadily a connection with the trade which has to-day made pos- sible the premier position held by the Seaman, Kent Co. Soon after starting a factory in Meaford, which town afforded splendid water shipping facilities, the plant was destroyed by fire, entailing a loss of over $100,000. Mr. Kent did not sit down and bewail his fate for he is a man who has never lost faith in the future, possessing both vision and optimism. Rebuilding operations were soon under way on a larger scale, and from that period down to the present the business has shown a gratifying gain. To-day Sea- man, Kent is recognized as a great Canadian institution, financed, managed and operated by Canadian capital, brains and brawn. It is an achievement outstanding in the industrial interests of the Dominion. < Fe | CANADA LUMBERMAN Activities of Lumber Trade on Pacific Coast Lumber mills in Northern British Columbia along the line of the Grand Trunk Pacific will soon have an opportunity to enter the export business if arrangements now under way with the Canadian Government Merchant Marine are consumated. ‘The plan is to have ships of the Merchant Marine make regular calls at Prince Rupert thus enabling the mills of that district to book orders for export shipment by water. B. C. Keeley, superintendent of the C.G.M.M. pointed out in an interview that lack of tonnage was the reason why their -boats did not include Prince Rupert in their regular port of call but any plan to develop lumber shipments from B.C. would have the support of his company and to show that this was no idle boast, they were prepared to offer a reduced rate out of Prince Rupert of one dollar per thousand feet. The Ontario lumber retailers may be wondering why the price of doors from the Pacific Coast are still being quoted “firm to higher.” The following news item gleaned along the waterfront of Vancouver by “Canada Lumbermen” correspondent may throw a little ight on the subject: “The ocean liner “Cardiganshire” is in port loading. Included in her cargo is a parcel of 15,000 doors for England.” They may also be holding back orders waiting for a slump in shingle prices. In that event, the fact that the steamer J. L. Luckenbach is in port loading twenty million shingles for the Atlantic seaboard, may be of interest. The Summerland Lumber Company Ltd., has commenced manu- facturing lumber at its new mill at Myren, on the Kettle Valley Rail- road. In addition to the cut of this mill, the company has contracted for the entire output of the mill at Shingle Creek. As Summerland is situated in the heart of the fruit belt of B. C. the greater part of their output will be manufactured into box shooks. Up in the Nicola Valley, in central British Columbia, where irrigation is essential to a successful harvest, a large dam to hold the water of Mamette lake has recently been constructed. ‘To complete the scheme of supplying the adjacent lands with water a large amount of flume work is necessary. This work, necessitating an expensive outlay for lumber and not being in close proximity to a lumber mill but having sufficient timber on their lands, prompted the erection of a sawmill. The mill has ‘been built and is now in operation, under the management of Dodding and Tyner. The combined stand of timber is estimated at eight million feet, and after sufficient has been cut to meet’ private needs, outside business will probably be sought. Reflecting general advancement in the trade of the Port of Van- couver a compilation of export tonnage figures prepared by the Van- ~ couver Merchants’ Exchange shows that in the first three months of this year there has been a decided increase compared with the cor- responding period in 1922, lumber and shingles being responsible to a large extent for this increase. Lumber exports to United States ports for the three months since January 1 are about three times as great as in the corresponding three months of 1922. In 1922 the exports were 5,915,488 feet, while this year to date the exports are 16,960,000 feet. Last year for the period January 1 to March 31 the port exported 175,483 bundles of shingles to New York. This year the amount ex- ported to that market for the same period is 905,734 bundles. British Columbia is famous the world over for its towering mountain peaks and tall trees. Now comes the announcement that this province will shortly be able to boast of the largest smokestack in the Dominion to be erected at Powell River for the Powell River Pulp & Paper Co., Ltd. The big stack will be 280 feet high with a diameter of 21 feet at the bottom and 15 feet at the top and will be of concrete and reinforced steel construction. ‘This chimney is part of a $500,000 steam power plant in course of erection by the com- pany. A. T. Davidson, who is in charge of white pine blister rust con- trol operations in British Columbia is busily engaged making observt- tions and experiments in connection with this work. He left récent- ly on a trip along the Pacific Great Eastern Railway where experi- mental plots will be established. All species of native wild ribes and Western white pine will be planted and later exposed to the rust. In this way the susceptibility of the different plants to the disease will be discovered. All the specimens which will be planted come from parts of the Western coast where it is known that there is no disease. An interesting action is pending in‘the British Columbia courts between the Penticton Sawmills, Limited and the DeMuth, Brode- rick Lumber Co. regarding certain timber limits at Kirkton, The Penticton Sawmills Limited allege a right under contract to a bal- ance of 500,000 feet of timber from the Kirkton limits, while the de fendant company maintains that owing to the Penticton Sawmills Limited having failed to live up to the contract it is released from the agreement, and has therefore refused to deliver further logs. The first step in the action has ‘been the obtaining of a temporary injune tion by the Penticton Sawmills, Limited, restraining the other com- pany from dealing with the timber until the rights of the parties have been decided by the courts. An important feature of the case which will be of interest to the logging industry in general centres around the question of what is “bush run” in logging operations. : Announcement comes from Cranbrook of a new lumber manu- facturing concern for that district. The name of the Company is the Kootenay River Lumber Company, the Principals being Malcolm Horie, George A. Leitch, T. M. Roberts, M. A. Beale and J. A. Arno old, all well-known lumber men of the interior district. Operations will commence early in May with a daily capacity of 25,000 feet. Mr. Malcolm, for many years a foreman with the East Kootenay Lumber Company, will have charge of the mill. i H. G. Wells, formerly of the Wells Lumber Company, Seattle, Wash., is now connected with the Allen-Stoltze Lumber Company of Vancouver. Mr. Wells is well known in lumber circles on the coast and is no stranger to Vancouver. He was given a fitting welcome into the ranks of the B. C. Lumber Wholesalers Association at their weekly luncheon last Wednesday. . = The S. S. Heathfield is at the Great Northern docks, Vancouver, loading a large cargo of general lumber and timbers for shipment to Montreal. The entire order is being filled by the Rat Portage Lum- Derm Comletde A fire on April 9th completely destroyed the small mill of the Beaver Lumber Company at Port Alberni, on the west coast of Van- couver Island, owned by Mr. Norman McEachearn. Horace W. Brownlee, 30, manager of the Beayer Lumber Com- pany’s yard at Rosetown, Sask., was fatally injured recently when a ladder on which he was descending from a lumber rack in‘the yard slipped from under him. He fell about ten feet, head first, sustaining a fractured skull, and died a few hours later without regaining con- sciousness. ‘The late Mr. Brownlee was a native of Carleton Place, Ontario. : Among the companies incorporated in B. C. during the week end- ing April 14th were the following: The B.C. Timber Lands, Limited* a public company with a capitalization of $4,000,000. Head office, Vancouver; Brunette Lumber Co. Ltd., NewWestminster. Capital $700,000; Port Moody Lumber Co. Ltd., a private company capitaliz- ed at $350,000 with head office at Vancouver.; Yale Lumber Com- pany, Limited, $25,000, Vancouver; Nelson Lumber & Manufacturing Co. Ltd., $15,000. Andrew Haslam, for many years prominently identified with the lumber industry of British Columbia, and a pioneer of the province, passed away at his residence in Vancouver on April 9th at the age of 77 years. A native of Donegal, Ireland, Mr. Haslam came to Canada in 1861 and settled in New Brunswick where he remained for nine years. At that time the call of the West and the possibilities which it held out for the young man of energy and ambition determined Mr. Haslam to try his fortunes in this new country. Accordingly he left New Brunswick and after a year or two in Manitoba arrived in British Columbia in 1874 where he became associated with the late John Hendry and David McNair in the Royal City Sawmills at New Westminster. This partnership existed for six or seven years when Mr. Haslam removed to Nanaimo, on Vancouver Island where fo many years he successfully operated the Nanaimo Sawmills Co. Ltd. He also represented that city in Provincial Legislature for several years and was a member of the Federal house from 1894 to 1896, be- | ing at this time a leading figure in the public life of the Pacific | Coast. After retiring from active operation in the lumber manutfac- | j turing business Mr. Haslam located in Vancouver and organized the log scaling department of the Provincial government, becoming su- _pervisor of that branch of work. As a result of heavy demands for British Cloumbia lumber both _ for export and rail shipment, logging companies are this month swing- into a summer season which, it is predicted, will be the most active _ for many years. New camps up and down the coast as well as in the interior of the province are opening up and many of the older ones _ are preparing to nearly double their output. The demand for loggers has come like a siren call and practically every man who can “swing an axe” is now in the woods. Present production is now well above the average, the estimated value of the monthly cut being over $2,000,000, and with favorable working condi- In a recent issue of the Royal Gazette published in New Brunswick a proclamation appeared, issued by the Minister of Lands and Mines, under authority of the Forest Act of 1922, in which all forest land in the province is proclaimed “a protected area.’ Asa result any person desiring to go fishing, hunting, etc., must obtain a permit from a fire warden, councillor, game license vendor or other person duly authorized. The certificate secured must be produced when requested by any fire warden or other authorized person. Penalties for non-compliance will not be less than $10 and not more than $100, or thirty days in jail. This action is deemed necessary by the government in a determined effort to prevent a repetition of the imimense forest fire damage of recent years as a result of care- lessness or thoughtlessness of those entering the forest on pleasure expeditions. By having the certificate it is hoped that all those enter- ing the woods will keep in mind the necessity for great care in pre- ‘serving the forests. George McKnight, operations manager of the Nashwaak Pulp & Paper Company at the Nashwaak district, has announced that the river will be open soon. It is estimated that there will be about _ eighteen or nineteen million feet of logs to come out of the Nashwaak _ this season. The Nashwaak Pulp & Paper Company has fifteen and a half million feet 6f new logs with a few hundred thousand feet of old lumber. The S. Douglas Lumber Company, Limited, has three million feet, the River Valley Lumber Company has about one mil- lion feet, and the Fraser Companies Limited a small amount. On the Nashwaak River the drives have been under way for some time and there was fear that the water would fall so rapidly that the drives would hang. The drive on the Nashwaaksis was out on the 17th and the first bank of logs arrived at Springhill that same day. Preparations are being made in mills about St. John for the opening of the season. The St. John river is expected to be open for navagation about the first of May and an opportunity will then be had for the towing of logs from the booms. Shou Tudo, of Tokyo, passed through St. John recently enroute to Cambridge University. He said that a good business could be done by Canadian lumbermen in exporting lumber to Japan as his people are now building more after the western fashion and Japan could not supply the lumber. Alfred West, of Coles Island, Queens County, who was in St. John recently said that the heavy snow fall in that section of the province had curtailed the lumber cut on the Canaan River by at least one-third. He also told of the heavy snow driving deer from the forests into the lumber camps where the men cut hardwood brush for them to feed on. ‘The animals were so weakened by lack of food that the men could walk among them and they would hardly move out of their way. / Alexander Barnhill Holly, a member of the firm of James Holly & Sons, prominent lumber surveyors, owners of the South Bay Booms and tug boat operators, died on April 20 after a short illness. He was the son of James Holly, who passed away some twelve years ago and upon whose death the business was taken over by the two brothers, B. Holly and Murray McL. Holly. The business will in future be carried on by the latter. Besides his wife he is survived by his brother and two sisters. F. C. Beatteay, managing director of Stetson, Cutler & Com- ‘panies large mills in St. John, recently returned from an extended tour to the continent. During his absence the business was carried on under the supervision of his son Allan C. Beatteay, who is conceded to be one of the cleverest young business men in the lumber in dustry in these parts. : ee es ee ee ne en | CANADA LUMBERMAN 59 tions and if the forest fires do not hinder production to any serious ex- tent, all logging operations are united in the prediction of a most prosperous and active year in this phase of the lumber industry. Kenneth Barr, formerly with the Allen-Stoltze Lumber Co., of Vancouver, is now associated with Hanbury Timber Products, Ltd., wholesale lumber dealers of this city. S..C. Smith, of the Smith Lumber Co. Ltd., Vernon, B. C. was a recent visitor to the coast. He reported conditions good in the in- terior mills, lumber from his mill being now shipped into the Ontario market in competition with the products of the coast mills. He was strongly of the opinion that lumber prices would hold firm with every indication of a raise in certain grades. Timber Industry Jottings from Busy East Chief Forester, G. H. Prince of the Department of Lands and Mines, has returned from Montreal and Quebec, where he held a conference with Chief Forester Piche of Quebec in reference to co- operative policies for the prevention -of fires along the provincial borders. He announced that a suitable arrangement had been made. The following statement has been given out by the St. John consular district, with regards to lumber shipments made to the United States for the quarter ending March 31, 1923. They show a marked improvement over the corresponding period of 1922 and augurs well for the remainder of the season. This report was pub- lished by H. S.

It is easy to control, turns in its own length and provides correct speeds for every operation. Where heavy snowfalls bury the roads and camps, the Northern “Caterpillar”* Logger quickly plows through the drifts and gets traffic moving.

APEX LUMBER COMPANY, LTD. Ontario Represent. tive: J.D. Robinson, Room 5 Imperial Block, Walkerville, Ont. : Vancouver, B.C. BRITISH COLUMBIA Cedar Shingles CANADA LUMBERMAN BUY The life of a British Columbia Red Cedar Shingle Roof can almost be gauged by the life of the nail with which the shingle is nailed in place. Judging from available data, the average life of the ordinary steel wire nail, which has been in such common use, is only from seven to twelve years. Some wire nails will last longer, depending upon the condition of exposure, climate and similar features, but considering our climate as a whole, at the end of from seven to twelve years a large percentage of wire nails will have rusted either completely through or so extensively that the first strong wind will complete the work. The shingles that have been held in position by such nails are then free to work down, permitting rains or melting snows to leak through and damage the interior of the structure. Examination will disclose that the fibre of the shingle itself is still in perfect condition, and a leaky roof, in the majority of occasions is due entirely to the use of faulty nails, but the average home owner, placed at such inconvenience, will not stop to reason this out and the poor wooden shingle comes in for more unjust abuse. There are several kinds of nails which experience has proven will give lasting satisfaction, and the wise dealer will advise his customers of these satisfactory nails. A pure zinc shingle nail meets all the demands of durability required. Its principal drawback is its high cost and a slight tendency to bend under careless driving. Galvanized wire nails theoretically are rust proof, and if the galvanized coating is properly applied, and of sufficient thickness, such a nail will last as long as the shingle it holds in place. The life of this shingle roof, properly applied with these nails then is from 40 to 50 years. Pure iron nails, or the old cut or wrought nails are ideal but difficult to secure. Copper nails also constitute a perfect shingle nail. Timms Phillips & Co., Ltd. | Vancouver Lumber Co., Ltd.

Among them is that of Angus McLean, head of The Bathurst Company, of Bathurst, N.B. Mr. McLean has for many years been identified with the industry in the Maritimes and has always been one of the leaders in every movement to elevate the standards and promote the interests of one of Canada’s greatest industries. This year he is rendering further service by having accepted the presidency of the Canadian Lumbermen’s Associa- tion. The Bathurst Company has in recent years sold the bulk of its product in either the British or the United States market, its Canadian business being a very small percentage of the total volume. This important company commenced with the March 15 issue of “CANADA LUMBERMAN?” a contract for the use of full page space, and, in sending this con- tract Mr. McLean gave two of his reasons for the decision to have The Bathurst LUMBERMAN Lumber Cedar Shingles Kraft Pulp EASY BLEACHING SULPHITE PULP SPRUCE AND WHITE PINE The Bathurst Company Ltd. BATHURST, N. B., CANADA Company’s advertising appear regularly in this paper. He said:- “We feel that your journal is worthy ' of the support of the lumbermen”, and referring to some information we had given as to the steadily increasing cir- culation of Canada Lumberman in the U.S. and Great Britain, he added:- “We are glad to get your letter advis- ing that you are getting a better circulation for your magazine in the United States, and that you now reach a large number of buyers there. This is all very interesting information, and it certainly will be good for the Canadian lumbermen if their advertisements go prominently before the American buyers, as that is where most of the lumber, at least from the Maritime Provinces, has now to find a market.” No doubt there are other lumber firms the heads of which feel the same as Mr. McLean. We will gladly welcome such firms to the advertising pages of “CANADA LUMBERMAN”. They will find us ready to give co- operation in full measure. It is on this basis that “CANADA LUM- BERMAN?” has won the respect of the biggest and best.in the industry.

TORONTO—WELLINGTON AND PETER STREETS ‘ MONTREAL—10 GAUVIN LANE Pioneer and Leader in the Industry Vol. 43 Giada Jumberman Toronto, May 15, 1923 Recognized Authority for Forty Years JS ounded 1880 No. 10 Activity in Mining Industry Creates Increased Demand for Timber By Cecil Cave, Cobalt, Ont. The average person who thinks of mining does not associate it to any great extent with the lumber industry. Nevertheless expan- sion in this vital basic industry creates a demand for certain classes ‘of lumber which will have a more or less important bearing on the market. This is particularly true of Ontario markets, in which pro- vince gold and silver mining development is proceeding at a rate which is expected by influential mining men to in time bring the province to the fore as the greatest gold producing area in the world. As soon as shaft sinking commences, it becomes necessary to start timbering the woikings which range, from 7 x 11 feet to three times this size, with as many separate compartments. The material used in this work is generally 6” x 6” pine, spruce or hemlock, while the sheeting used consists of two to four inch lumber. Casings are made as the shaft is lowered. These are put together by the use of long rods at head and bottom as well as sides of the squares. In some cases these timbers are made as big as 12” x 12” on end and are from 6 to 8 feet long. When lateral work is commenced in a mine a large station is cut at the point from which this work is to be done. The heavy rock and overburden is held in place by massive timbering, while as the work progresses tracks are laid on wooden sleepers along the drifts. Where the ore is found in large volume it becomes neces- sary to conduct stoping operations. This work results in the making of huge excavations and wherever there is any danger of rock caving in heavy timbering is resorted to. At the same time lagging, which consists of poles from 12 to 16 feet long with 6 to 8 inch ends are used for the construction of chutes and flooring down which the ore travels on its way to the openings along the drifts, where it enters the cars to be hoisted to the milling plants on surface. All kinds of material is used in this work, and most of it is used in the roughest state, even the bark being left on, as is also the case with props and stulls in underground work. Often large crushing machines are installed underground and pumping apparatus required is genérally erected on staging requir- ing the use of considerable heavy timber. The surface equipment of a mining plant includes the heavy headframe, which must be of particularly solid construction, owing to the heavy strain of hoisting from underground. Tramways are then constructed from the headframe to the milling plant. In this work lumber in sizes from 4” x 4” up to 8” x 8” are used. The ore is then trammed to the mill which is generally a massive structure enclosing heavy bins, usually made of British Columbia fir and pine and of very solid construction 8” x 8” and 12” x 12” studding and corner posts being used. Owing to the excessively heavy machinery required for grind- ing ore, as well as the water and acids used, very heavy timbering is necessary in the construction of battery boxes for stamps, tanks for cyanide solutions and troughs for the conveyance of solutions and ore from one part of the mill to another. Dressed British Columbia pine is usually employed in the building of these tanks and solution boxes. An idea of the large amount of timber and lumber used in mining is gained from a perusal of the annual report of the Hollinger Consolidated Gold Mines for the year 1922, wherein it is shown that timbering for shafts required $22,308.21 worth of lumber; timbering of stopes and raises, $123,231.02; retimbering, $11,662.24. In addi- tion to this there is the timber used for construction on surface equipment, which would probably bring the total to close to $250,- 000.00 for the year. Enlargement of mining and milling operations this year will result in a considerable increase in the amount of ma- terial required. A large amount of the lagging and rough lumber used by the mining companies of Northern Ontario, comes from the timber dis- tricts close at hand, including stulls, pit props and lagging, as well as a considerable amount of the sheeting for mill construction. For the finer uses in the plant, however, British Columbia fir has come into general favor, and at the present time is almost exclusively used in the making -of tanks, bins, etc. With large additions planned for the big producing mines and numerous Other properties throughout the district, rapidly develop- ing to the stage where milling facilities are required, an ever ex- panding market for lumber products of all kinds is to be found in the mining districts of Northern Ontario, where the available supply of home grown timber is to a large extent limited. There is also a large amount of wire-wound cedar piping used for the conveyance of sands and solutions at and from the concen- trating and cyaniding plants throughout the district, which is also a ' product of the Province of British Columbia, which has found gen- eral favor throughout the mining districts. The main centres of distribution for the Northern Ontario gold and silver mining districts is found at Cobalt, Kirkland Lake, South Porcupine and Timmins, while other less prominent camps which are forging ahead as consumers of these products are Matachewan, Larder Lake, Gowganda and South Lorrain. On the left is seen Cyanide Solu- tion Tank of B.C.

Enthusiastic in spirit, repre- sentative in numbers and opti- mistic im outlook, \ All ethese were characterictic of the an- nual meeting of the South-West- ern Ontario Retail Lumber Deal- ers’ Association which was held in the Builders’ Exchange rooms London, on April 26th. Many matters of importnace were dis- cussed and plans adopted for furthering the work of the or- ganization and increasing its welfare and usefulness. Sever- al new members were present and were cordially greeted. The London dealers entertained the visitors to luncheon and extend- ed a warm welcome to everyone. It may be remarked, parentheti- cally that the South-Western Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association which has been in existence for eleven years, is the parent body of its kind in the province, and out of it grew the whole expending spirit of organization which resulted later in the formation of the O.R.L.D.A. and the various district bodies 4n different parts of Ontario. However, this is another story that has been presented in detail in the “Canada Lumberman” on previous occasions. Among the prime movers of those ‘early days were Charles Hubbell, of Thamesville, B. F. Clarke and Allen McPherson, of Glencoe, and some of the Chatham yardmen. They started a movement in 1912 in the shape of a little local Association, the im- petus and influence of which has widened and deepened until the status and the prestige of the retail lumber trade has been raised and strengthened throughout the whole province. E. C. Russell, of Walkerville, presided at the gathering and the gathering and the first business was the election of officers. The new men who will direct the energies and destinies of the Asso- ciation during 1923 are,— President, George N. Kernohan, London. Vice-president, J. L. Naylor, Essex. Secretary-treasurer, B. F. Clarke, Glencoe, (re-elected). Directors,—L. H. Martyn, London; 'W. J. Taylor, Ridgetown ; George N. Kernohan, London, Newly Elected President P. G. Piggott, Chatham; Chas. Hubbell, Thamesville; S. H. Herath,’ Ojibway; H. S. Ludlam, Leamington; John McGibbon, Sarnia; E. K. Kalbfleisch, Stratford. : The Nominating Committee was composed of E. C. Russell, A. R. Sanders and J. C. Scofield, and their report was unanimously adopted. Several new members were introduced and given the hand of fellowship. These included Ezra Fahner, Port Stanley; T. A. Clatworthy, London; L. H. Martyn, London; R. H. Smith, London, and B. C. Turville, St. Thomas. It was reported that the association was growing steadily and the outlook for the coming season was very bright. Insurance Risks and Safety Work During the morning proceedings, E. C. Russell retired from the position of chairman and thanked the members for the warm sup- port accorded him during his term of office. He introduced his successor, Mr. Kernohan, who was received with a hearty applause. The new presiding officer said that the organization had accom- plished a great deal in the past, and he believed that greater things could be carried out in the future. He would do his utmost to advance the interests of the association and he hoped that he would have the co-operation of all those present. The matter of fire protection in planing mills and retail yards, a reduction of the number of accidents in mills and the advisability of keeping neat, attractive premises was discussed at considerable length. A committee was appointed under the direction of J. C. Scofield, to draw up conditions which will govern a contest for which an appropriate award will be offered. It was felt that a heal- thy rivalry among the members in the lines indicated, would prove of ‘benefit to the industry in general and cause the retail lumbermen to take a greater pride in their plants and yards. The discussion ~ was taken part in by J. C, Scofield, W. T. Piggott, B. F. Clarke; George H. Belton, Charles Hubbell and others, all of whom endorsed the idea. One member stated that the fire inspectors came round quite frequently to his plant and if boards were piled too near the steam pipes or the water ‘barrels were not full and other precautions taken, attention was called to the matter. The inspector kept him and his establishment “jacked up,” and it was a good thing. Another mem- ber stated that he thought some of the doctors who attended to © small injuries to workmen, such as a cut finger, etc., sometimes took advantage of the Workmen’s Compensation Board and charged — altogether too much for medical attention. He was advised to re- port such a physician to the Board and an investigation would, no doubt result. The discussion became general on safety, insurance safeguards, clean yards and well-kept premises. The matter of insuring trucks against public liability and claims for damages in case of accidents was brought up by Walter T. Piggott who referred to the attitude of some “go-betweens” who sought, on behalf of those who might be injured, to settle with some lum'ber companies and then “divy up” the amount with their client. He declared that such an attempt had been made to extort enor- mous damage from him, and he had fought the case to a finish. His truck had been driven by a man who had injured three people and sethlement ‘was effected by the courts at much Idss than the “adjuster” had held out for. Mr. Piggott pointed out that, for a few dollars extra, lumber dealers owning trucks could secure double liability which, he believed, was a wise move. He asserted that if any man, in the employ of a retail lumber merchant, driving a truck or a team ran into and injured or killed anybody, the man himself was not held responsible for damages ‘but liability fell upon the owner of the truck. In spite of all that could tbe done there would always be careless employees and he thought, in view of the frequency of accidents, that double liability was a measure of pro- tection well worth considering. Lively Discussion on Trade Ethics Adjournment was then made for lunch which was served at Wong’s and the repast was thoroughly enjoyed, the London deal-. ers acting as hosts. In the afternoon the discussion was general regarding trade customs, and it was pointed out that a new business had been opened in Windsor in which several manufacturing firms are report- ed to ibe interested. The new concern is called the National Door & Hardwood Flooring Co., and its place of business is on ‘McDou-. gall Ave., in the premises formerly occupied {by the Essex Provision Co. Edward Allen is the manager of the organization. It was as- — serted that this firm was selling to contractors and others in car- loads as well as less than carload lots. The general trend of the debate was that the Association was opposed to any wholesale or manufacturing firm selling to contractors or others who are not legitimate dealers as set forth last January in the pronouncement adopted at the Ontario ‘Retail Lumber Dealers’ Convention in Wind- sor. At that time it was decided that the following constitute a legiti- mate retail lumber dealer:—“Any person, firm or corporation carry- — ing an assorted stock of lumber, lath, shingles and interior trim reasonably commensurate with the needs of the community in which ~ they do business. The Association puts itself on record as consider- ing the following legitimate customers for retail lumber dealers only,—contractors, consumers and manufacturers using one or two carloads per year.’ . It was agreed that the secretary be instructed to send a copy — of this resolution to all wholesalers and manufacturers. It was de- cided that this definition covered the ground adequately, and whole- = ~ Caw ADA LUM BE RM AN 39 Executive of Southwestern Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association n * Ale L.

Selling to Consumers in Other Towns Another question, which arose was whether it was justifiable or good ethics for a retail lumber dealer in one town to sell a customer of a retailer in another town or village. It was pointed out that there might be exceptional cases where a resident was a friend or patron of a certain dealer, would tbe carrying on building operations in a community some miles away, and naturally would prefer to get his stock from the dealer that he knew and have it delivered at the place where the contract is being carried on, rather than buy from a local dealer. Other exceptions might also arise whereby a customer had an alleged grievance or prejudice against the local man and take an Irishman’s delight in being “agin him” and so went out of town to secure his material. Some outside concerns who do a wholesale and retail lumber business, have in the past been selling customers of local dealers in their own town and this has caused some feeling in a few instances. It has been charged that the retail branch of the wholesale firm will nominally conduct such a transaction and give the customer the beneht of the wholesale price; otherwise it was contended the busi- ness could not be obtained from a consumer (with the freight added) against a local dealer’s quotations. This matter was thrashed out for some time and it was felt that it was perfectly legitimate for a firm conducting a wholesale and retail business to sell a customer of a lumberman in another town, providing the firm making the sale showed by its invoice or order book that the iprices quoted were retail and not wholesale. Everyone present agreed that this was a fair basis of outside negotiations and there the matter rests at the present time. An invitation was received from the Seaman, Kent Company, manufacturers of hardwood flooring, Toronto, for the Association to hold its next meeting at West Lorne, Ont., and visit the plant of the company at that point. The matter was referred to the Executive and the invitation of Mr. Kent will likely be accepted at an early date. Some Wide Differences on Estimates Planing mill operations and estimating came up for considera- tion. The secretary, B. F. Clarke, reported that he had asked for estimates from five firms located in different towns in South-West- ern Ontario, on certain doors, window frames, door frames, trim, etc., and there was quite a difference in quotations. The figures, which Mr. Clark obtained on an ordinary, stock door of white pine, 134 inches thick, and the prices for the frame or trim, which could be of white pine, Georgia pine or B. C. fir, are appended, Mr. ‘Clarke explained -that these quotations were secured from different sec- tions of the district and were given for comparative purposes only.

Kernohan pointed out the necessity of more careful watching of costs. Expenses of handling lumber were going up al the time and many firms did not make an accurate or generous enough allowance for their overhead. One thing was certain,—they all knew that lumber was costing them enough {but were they getting a high enough price to cover all the expenses of unloading, piling, carrying and delivering, and at the same time making a fair profit and interest on their investment? 4 W. T. Piggott said that leaks should be zealously guarded. Overhead was climbing all the time and a planing mill represented © a large investment. Several firms thought they could establish a mill and cut the prices and the speaker referred to one, which had started in with this idea in view and in five years had lost $45,000. L. H. Martyn, London Newly Elecetd Director It was necessary to scrutinize every detail and know what each operation cost and how much was the overhead, the time taken, the value of the stock, the expense of operation and production, etc. 1 all these were not carefully estimated, a planing mill would, certain- ly, eat up all the profits that were made in the lumber selling end. M. R. Bogart, B. F. Clarke, J. C. Scofield and others also spoke along similar lines, stating that for some time they had been in favor of forming an estimating class among the dealers in the South West- ern district. Several members had taken the course of the Mill- work Cost Bureau of Chicago, with good results. The whole ques- tion of “costs” was a vital one in the success of any ‘business, and all guesswork and cut-throats should be eliminated, It was decided that, at future meetings, more attention would be paid to the subject of costs, and several members will Ibe asked to give concrete instances and relate their experiences along this line. Annual Outing to Thousand Islands : . H. Boultbee, secretary of the Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association, Toronto, spoke of the annual outing which will be held down the St. Lawrence and through the Thousand Islands, the Bay of Quinte district and Lake Ontario, from July 5th to 9th, on the steamer “Cape Trinity,” which will carry 226 passengers. It is expected that ithis excursion will be largely patronized. The cost per member will ‘be $40, which will cover everything. Many points of interest will ‘be visited and it is expected that calls will be made at Brockville, Kingston, Belleville, Picton, Rochester, Niagara and other points. The full details are now being arranged and will be announced in the near future. Short addresses on various topics were given by L. H. Richards of Sarnia; J.C. Scofield, of Windsor; A. McPherson, of Glencoe; E C. Russell, of Walkerville; G. B. Van Blaricom, Editor “Canada Lumberman,” Toronto, and several newly elected membbers of the Association. A hearty vote of thanks was moved to the london trade by P. G. Piggott. of Chatham, and E. O. Penwarden, of St. Thomas, for (Continued on page 43) Eh Rete OF tions and amendments. CANADA LUMBERMAN 41 Several Changes Made In Mechanics’ Lien Act New Measure Will Come into Force in September Next—Important Re- visions Which Make Operation of Act More Effective—Judges Will Have Enlarged Powers There was passed by the Ontario Government during its recent session a new Mechanics’ Lien Act which was introduced by the Attorney-General for Ontario, Hon. W. E. Raney. On September lst next the new measure will become operative. It contains a num- ber of important revisions and amendments which will be gratifying to the retail lumber dealers of Ontario, who have long contended that the old Act was an anachronism,—not to say a standing joke. It offered little or no protection to designing contractors, and many retail lumber dealers can tell of how heavy losses have been sus- tained. under its operation or, rather, lack of operation. Persistency in any good cause generally wins, and it.is pleasing to note that success has crowned the efforts of the Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association who, although buffeted at various times and sidetracked on other occasions, never lost faith in the efficacy or justness of their cause and believed that agitation would result in achieving the end in view. Under the new measure fraudulent prac- tices are much more difficult to carry out and the powers of a judge are extended. There is no need of recalling the hopes and fears that have characterized the work of the O.R.L.D.A. in the past three or four years. The principal point raised by the lumbermen was that the owner of a building under erection should be responsible for 100 per cent of the contract price in the matter of satisfying liens. The 100 per cent principle on the part of the owner was not accepted by the special committee of the Legislature of last year. It is seldom that any individual or institution gets all that it goes after, and in this instance a larger measure of success was met with than usual, for the Act has been thoroughly revised and its leading features will only be summarized. Under the new legislation wide power to use his discretion in seeing that all parties get just treatment is accorded the judge or officer trying the action; this notwithstanding the way in which the contracts may have been worded and the previously accepted prin- ciples of the Act. A great deal is heard about precedent in these days but under the new law, it will not count for so much in the actions that may be tried in future. The judge will be able to exercise a bigger mea- sure of common sense and not be so bound down by hard and fast limitations. Thus he will be able to render decision much more upon the real merits of the claims than could formerly be done. It is pointed out that this is an important matter from two points of view, first in overcoming obstacles experienced under the old Act in cases where a ridiculously low contract price was agreed upon between the owner and the contractor, thus under the hold- back, reducing the liability of the owner; and second in overcoming difficulties in connection with an unreasonably high price mentioned in an agreement of sale under which the purchaser is to erect build- ings upon the land sold. If the latter went back on his agreement, liens were filed and the lien claimants discovered, under the old Act, that the seller had a prior claim for the unpaid portion o fthe pur- chase price. As this figure was absurdly high, all the available money was eaten up and the claimants under liens got little or nothing. Responsibility of the Owner Two sections of the new Act deal especially with the owners responsibility. Section 10 says,—‘“Save, as here and otherwise pro- vided, the lien shall not attach so as to make the owner liable for a greater sum than the sum payable by the owner to the contractor.” This section was also in the old Act. Section 6, however, has con- siderable bearing upon Section 10 and it contains important addi- This section gives the wage earner or ma- terial man the right to a lien, and the new portion of this section states that this lien shall be “limited to the sum justly due to the person entitled to the lien and the sum justly owing by the owner.” This portion, with the word “justly” in two different places, is new and the manner in which this word “justly” is expected to be in- terpreted by the court is clearly indicated by changes which have been made also in Section 36, Sub-section 3. This section instructs the judge or officer trying the case as to his duties. It is in much the same language as the corresponding section of the former Act but it contains a new clause (a) as follows: “The form of the judgment may be varied by the judge or officer in order to meet the circumstances of the case, so as to afford to any party to the proceedings any right or remedy in the judgment to which he may be entitled.” Fraudulent Agréements Checked Legal advice has been obtained as to the interpretation of these clauses that may be expected after.the new Act comes into force. We are told that “Because of the joint operation of Section 33, Sub- section 1, and Section 36, Sub-section 3, the officer trying the case has jurisdiction to deal with a fraudulent agreement and, if it does not express the true consideration, Sub-section 3 of Section 36, allows him to give the necessary relief to a lien holder and declare that the . agreement for purchase shall have priority only to the extent of the actual amount justly owing by the owner to the contractor.” Further, our legal advice contains the following: “If, in fact, there was a fictitious contract price mentioned in the contract (too low for com- pleting the work) and a lien holder establishes this fact at the trial, the judge or officer can give him a lien upon the full amount justly owing, notwithstanding the wording of the contract.” It will be seen, therefore, that, of our advice is accurate, a fictitiously low con- tract price will not in future relieve the owner of any liability short of the actual amount justly owing for work done and materials sup- plied. With these two new principles incorporated into it, the new Act will be a great improvement upon the old one, unless loopholes, that cannot be foreseen, develop as a result of judicial interpretations. Apparently the special committee of the Legislature have given care- ful consideration to our representations on these two points, relating to a fictitiously low contract price and a fictitiously high price in an agreement of sale. They have undoubtedly endeavored to make the new Act clear on these points and to eliminate much of the fraudulent practice carried on formerly between owners and contractors who were not honest. Not only will this greatly reduce the possibility of dishonest collusion between an owner and a contractor, but it will result in decided benefit to the honest owner and the honest contrac- tor, whose reputations have formerly suffered from the misdeeds of dishonest ones. Delivery on Adjacent Lot In connection with the delivery of material to a job, a change has been made in the wording of the new Act. An amendment that we advocated in 1918, and which was carried, provided that delivery upon a lot adjacent to the job should be a good delivery for the purpose of establishing a lien. The new Act, while continuing this principle, seeks to regulate it to some extent. The words used in the new Act are as follows: “The placing or furnishing of such ma- terials to be used upon the said lands, or such other place in the immediate vicinity of the said land designated by the owner or his agent, shall be good and sufficient delivery for the purpose of this Act.” It will be noted that, in the case of delivery upon land “in the vicinity,’ the new Act requires it to be “designated by the owner or his agent.” It will, therefore, be necessary for the material man to have the owner or his agent designate the place of delivery if it is not upon the actual lot on which the building is being erected. In this connection, however, it is important to bear in mind that under Clause 36, referred to above, the judge has much greater jurisdiction than formerly and is given power to “afford to any party to the pro- ceedings any right or remedy in the judgment to which he may be entitled.” The legal advice we have obtained says that “notwith- standing any defect in delivery, where the provisions may not have been strictly complied with, a lien will attach for all materials in- corporated into the building.” Husband Acts as Wife’s Agent The new Act provides in Section 7 that, in the case of a con- tract given by a husband for or on behalf of a married woman, he shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as her agent as well as for himself, unless before the materials are supplied notice shall have been furnished to the material man to the contrary. This clause is amended as compared with the old Act and makes a contract given “P | CANADA LUMBERMAN by a husband on behalf of a married woman somewhat more binding upon the wife’s interest than formerly. In the matter of leasehold property, an amendment is made to Section 8. Under the old Act, the owner’s consent had to be secured in writing, verified by affidavit, at the time of registering a lien, or otherwise the lien would not attach to the fee simple. Under the new Act, the lien will attach automatically to the fee simple of a leasehold property, provided the lien claimant gives notice in writ- ing, by registered letter or personal service, to the owner or his agent of the work done or material furnished; unless the owner or his agent within ten days thereafter gives notice that he will not be responsible therefor. Furthermore, the new Act provides that in the case of a leasehold property no forfeiture or attempted forfeiture of the lease shall deprive the lien holder of his right to lien, except for the non-payment of rent, and in such case the lien holder may take over this responsibility and carry the lease on in order to protect his lien. Sub-contractor’s Lien Protected Section 13, Sub-section 2, of the new Act provides that a sub- contractor shall be entitled to enforce his lien notwithstanding the non-completion or abandonment of the contract by his contractor or sub-contractor. This preserves the right of the supply man to a lien notwithstanding difficulties that may arise by reason of the contrac- tor to whom he supplied goods making default in connection with his job. Insofar as the percentage is concerned, this section puts the position of the man supplying goods to a sub-contractor beyond question. An amendment has been made to Section 22, Sub-section 5. Under this, if the architect in charge of a job refuses to give a final certificate for three days after application has been made for such a certificate, the contractor may then, within another seven days, register his claim for a lien. ‘This limit of three days upon the archi- tect curtails the limit of time within which the architect may refuse to give his certificate or for which the contractor has to wait in order to establish his lien on the final certificate. An important change has also been made in connection with notice of trial given to defendants in a lien action. In the first places the notice has to be given, under the new Act, at least ten clear days before the day appointed for trial. Under the old Act, eight days was the period. A clause has been added as follows: “Where any person interested in the land has been served with statement of claim and makes default in delivering statement of defence, he shall never- theless be served with notice of trial and shall be entitled to defend on such terms as to costs and otherwise as the judge or officer trying the action may deem just.” This provision, which is new, is very wide and, taken in conjunc- tion with Sections 6 and 10, gives the court practically complete power to grant such relief as may be necessary, to adjudicate on all the facts in connection with the contractor, supply man or mortgagee, and definitely to fix a true amount of the lien in relation to all the parties.” Under Section 37, Sub-section 3, of the new Act it is provided that “where a claimant fails to establish a valid lien he may, never- theless, recover a personal judgment against any party to the action for such sum as may appear to be due to him and which he might recover in an action against such party.” The legal advice secured regarding this change in the Act states that it “may limit somewhat the advisability of bringing action under the new Lien Act. Under the old Act, judgment would be given for a personal amount in any event, even if the lien itself failed. Under the amended Act, the indication is that the court, would have discre- tion to refuse a personal judgment if they were not satisfied that proceedings should have been commenced under the statute.” — Quebec Forms Provincial Retail Association The Province of Quebec Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association was formed at a meeting held in Montreal on May 8. This asso- ciation is the outcome of the formation of the Montreal Retail Lum- bermen’s Association and includes sash and door manufacturers as well as retailers. The Montreal Association is now merged in the Provincial body, forming one of several centres created in different parts of the Province, with the headquarters in Montreal. The meet- ing was well attended by representative dealers, from various farts of the province and was presided over by Mr. J. P. Dupuis. At a meeting held on April 15th a committee was appointed to draft by-laws and regulations and to prepare reports dealing with the proposal to form a Provincial-wide organization. This committee submitted their report, and it was unanimously agreed to proceed with the formation of the Province of Quebec Retail Lumber Deal- ers’ Association. The following provisional board of officers and directors was appointed: President, G. Lebel, Montreal; vice-president, J. O. Chali- four, Quebec City; with the following directors for the districts named: > Farnham—Messrs. B. R, Stevens, (Bedford) and J. B. Comeau, (Farnham). Quebec—Messrs. (Quebec). Victoriaville—Messrs. J. E.eGiroux, (Victoriaville), and L. Car- on, (Nicolet). - Hyacinthe—Messrs, H. H. Sheppard, (Sorel), and C. A. Morin, (St. Hyacinthe). St. Jerome—Messrs. L. E. Parent, (St. Agathe), and A. Limoges, (Terrebonne). Montreal—Messrs. (Montreal). Valleyfield—Messrs. A. Cossette, and J. O. Clermont, (Valley- eld) nee After the election of the officers and directors the chair was J. M. Dessureault, ‘and L?’ Ce Marquis; J. -P. \Dupuis, and'-S. > Fa iotiertond: taken by Mr. Lebel and the by-laws and constitution as prepared by the committee was adopted Mr. Horace Boultbee, of Toronto, secretary of the Ontario Retail lumber Dealers’ Association, was present, and gave details of the working of that Association. On the motion of Mr. Dupuis, Mr. Boultbee was thanked for his information. A vote of sympathy was also passed to Mr. B. R. Stevens in the death of his sister. Mr. G. A. Thompson, the secretary of the Montreal branch, is also secretary of the Provincial Association. Dealers in Ancient Capital Re-Elect Officers The Quebec City Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association is flourish- ing and gaining steadily in membership and influence. It is some years now since this organization came into being but it has served a splendid purpose and to-day is more active and aggressive than ever. At the last meeting officers were elected for the coming year as follows :— President: L. C. Marquis, (re-elected). Vice-president: Louis Hamel, of E. T. Nesbitt Reg., (re-elected). Directors: Jos. Lefrancois, of La Cie Jos. Lefrancois, (re-elec- ted); J. Gibson, of J. & H. Gibson; Jos. Morneau. Treasurer::David Bilodeau, of Bilodeau & Dore Enrg. Secretary: J. O. Chalifour, (re-elected). Three new members were also received—J. & H. Gibson, Bilodeau & Dore, Enrg. and Joseph Morneau. It will be remembered that a long time ago a definite schedule _ of charges for delivery of material was agreed upon and this rate has been adhered to by all the members. Even dealers who do not belong to the Association, now charge for deliveries. Recently one of the older members said he felt it incumbent on him to say that this improved condition in delivery represented in his case an an- nual income of, at least, $3,000 that he did not previously receive. He added “Now when you consider that this improvement was car- ried out six years ago, our firm has realized from that source the handsome sum of $18,000. “T should say that this represents about the average amount earned by our members from making a delivery charge. ‘The plan has worked out to the satisfaction of all and is fair and equitable,’ — declared another member. Speaking to the “Canada Lumberman” one of the officers said,— “We have had an increase of about 30 per cent in the amount of our sales and are very busy at the present time. the summer will witness very gratifying returns. low.and it would seem that August will be arrived before any appreciable increase in supplies will reach us. Until then it is going to be more difficult to buy than it is to sell. : “The trouble that we have just now is the credit question. We believe that the retail lumber dealers are granting too much credit to contractors and altogether selling on too long terms. I believe that things could be improved considerably if all dealers decided to be more prudent in granting credit. We believe that an organiza- tion along the building and loan line would greatly help out in this matter.” We are confident that — Stocks are ‘athena ~*~ © Safety pays in every way, not only in the preservation of life nd limb but in duty done and the satisfaction that comes from do- g the right thing and engaging in a good cause. The various afety Associations have accomplished much, and any measures hat are taken for the protection of workmen, will in time bear good ruit providing there is a sympathetic attitude on the part of the foreman, superintendent and owners of the plant. In past years there have ‘been altogether too many accidents, both of a fatal and non-fatal character in the woodworking, planing ‘mill and lumber industries. It is gratifying to learn that a decided improvement has set in and the rates for 1922 in wood working plants have ibeen reduced from a provisional assessment of $2.00 to an actual assessment of $1.50. The provisional rate for the present year has been fixed at $1.80, but it is believed that iby the end of 1923 a reduction will be shown. Accident prevention efforts have brought about this decided increase in levy and it is to be hoped “that the splendid campaign in the interests of Safety will continue. ; At the recent annual meeting of the South-Western Ontario "Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association the subject of Safety was dis- cussed, and it is likely that a prize will be awarded to the mill hav- Bic the best record during the present year. The Ontario Pulp & _ Paper Makers’ Safety Association has aroused considerable awaken- ing among the forty pulp and paper mills of the province in fresent- ing a silk flag annually to the plants having the fewest number of Beecidents and the least lost time. The mills are divided into two classes, large and small, and a competition or friendly rivalry has brought about a decided betterment in management and methods in the various plants so that the toll of human lives and personal injur- jes has been considerably reduced . ‘s It is stated that wood working plants in Ontario now have the lowest compensation rate of any province or state where Workmen’s Compensation Acts are in operation. The rate in Michigan is $2.65; "New York $4.24; Ohio $1.95 and Ontario $1.50. The good work “inaugurated should be kept up by the planing and woodworking @mills of Ontario. A decrease of 25 per cent for 1922 in the levy for compensation is gratifying and encouraging and, no doubt, during the present year, a better showing will be made. § Recently a memorandum was issued by the Workmen’s Com- pensation Board to employers, in which a number of important points were set forth. One, under the caption of “Attention to Acci- dents,” is as follows :— Border Cities Lumber The lumber retailers of the Border Cities in Ontario have been ‘meeting twice monthly in order to become better acquainted. The gatherings which have been held in the Prince Edward Hotel, Wind- sor, have been very well attended, J. C. Scofield, of the Windsor Lumber Co., acting as chairman, and E. W. Pulling, of the McLean Lumber Co., Windsor, as secretary. Dealers have been present from Walkerville, Sandwich, Ford, Essex, Ojibway, Tecumseh, and other border points. ; One of the principal matters which has been occupying their at- tention is the adoption of a code of trade ethics, which embraces the following: To encourage the use of lumber as a building material, by educational propaganda and by collecting and distribu- ting information concerning the proper uses of wood. It shall be our aim to prevent, so far as possible, the sale of lumber of inferior grade, kind or manufacture, to compile data as to stocks of lumber on hand and, if practicable, to avoid carrying excessive quantities of odd sizes and grades of lumber, thereby reducing the expense of operation. Our Association shall contemplate the furtherance of co-operation which in a legal manner shall act in stabilizing prices in such a manner as to insure a fair margin of profit, by compiling and disseminating information regarding the cost of doing business and the education of dealers in the prevention of waste and unnecessary expense, to avoid, un- fair and discriminative trade methods and to prevent, so far as possible, imposition-on the public through misrepresenta- tions or any dishonest practices. In becoming members of this Association, we subscribe our- selves to the specific proposition that it is unethical— lst. To circulate information detrimental to com- _ petitors. 2nd. To attempt to injure a competitor’s credit. CANADA LUMBERMAN 43 ow Safety Reduces Rate on Compensation “Tt is earnestly urged upon the management of every firm that the most careful and prompt attention be given to taking care of and reporting any accidents that may happen to their workmen. Do not leave this to some irresponsible person. Where there is default, it is almost invariably because someone with whom the manager of the business has not kept in touch has failed in his duty. Default often costs money and always causes trouble and dissatisfaction. First aid, and ambulance or conveyance to doctor, home or hospital where necessary, are required to be furnished by the employer, and the employer should see that a competent and reliable doctor is chosen wherever a doctor is necessary. The workman and the em- ployer should agree upon the choice of a doctor. Accidents should be reported without delay to The Workmen’s Compensation Board. Every large employer should keep on hand a supply of employer’s forms, which can be obtained from the Board, but if not on hand the first notice should be sent by letter. Be sure to give all the infor- mation asked as to the workman’s earnings. Call the Board’s atten- tion at once to anything you fear may be wrong in any case. “Remember the law requires every employer to keep posters (Form 82) concerning the act posted up where workmen can see them. If you are without them write the Board for a supply, saying how many you need. Little Booklets explaining the provisions and operation of the Act can also be had. ....“Notice of Award. Notice of every award, whether compensa- tion or medical aid, is always sent by the Board to the employer. Too often no attention is paid to these. Frequently employers do not even know that they are coming to their office, and inquiries are later made to which these notices would have supplied the answer. The amount or detail work which the Board has to handle is immense and employers are begged not unnecessarily to ask a secont time for information already given. “Preserve Wage Records. Pay rolls, wage accounts and time sheets should be carefully preserved until the Board’s Auditor has audited them in usual course. It is not possible, without undue ex- pense, to have an auditor visit the employer every year. “Names and earnings of any members of the employer’s family employed and eligible for compensation should be carefully entered on the time sheets and wage records and on the pay roll statement furnished the Board. This will save trouble and inconvenience in case of accident.” Dealers Get Together their hospitality.

Cost methods are always a live topic whenever retail lumbermen and woodworkers convene and we are always on the lookout for good ideas that will help to place the industry as a whole on a more scientific basis.

There was some doubt in the minds of several members regard- ‘ing this resolution and whether it would be feasible to get retailers to agree on such a proposi- tion. However, it was the general opinion that the fundamentals of a good system should be studied by the dealers as a_ body and, if possible, applied in their individual enterprises. : The members behind the _ resolution, were not narrow OPENINGS GLAS: ARTICLE Wide High Thick | Lights minded; they did not try Ape to foist their opinions re- z patie! garding details on others oxsere Wante but merely asked that fun- -damentals should be uni- form. - What then are consider- ed the fundamentals of a good cost system? -mentals, as the writer un- _derstands it, would not deal with actual figures, but rather the way these fig- ures, (or figures that are missing) should be record- profit ot Le Perc!

There are thus two copies of the order. The original is torn away from the carbon copy at the fold and handed to the factory foreman from which he plans and distributes the work. It is here that the convenient way in which the system is laid out, is noticeable. It will be remembered that, on the reverse side of both the origi- nal and carbon copies of the order sheets, there are also blank forms. On the reverse side of the original order sheet is the cost sheet (See Fig. 3). Here the factory foreman tabulates the number of hours of each man working on the order, both for machine work and bench work. The number of hours are totalled for each kind of work, and the rate, which gives the cost of the direct labor on the order. On the same sheet at the bottom is a section called “Cutting Order and Material Used.” The foreman also fills this out accord- ing to the different pieces of lumber required in the order and any remarks that might bear the cost of the labor and material. When each job is finish- ed the foreman, of course, turns in this sheet to the office, one side of which is the original order sheet and the other the Cost Sheet where he has made his tabulations of labor and material. When the office _ staff receives this sheet from the foreman they compare it with the corresponding car- bon copy they have kept on file when the order was taken. Like the original sheet, the carbon copy has also ‘blank forms on its reverse side (See Fig. 2); On this sheet everything is - Factory No. Size | Brick Prame Dept: ~~ eaaory NO RIN DETAIL eee yk np WO 2 ee ru er DIRE Work 17. 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 3 Si Medes Rate Amount ed.

The cost forms used by the Brockville Lumber Corporation, Limited, are very compact. Everything relating to a particular order going through the factory is tabulated on two sheets, using both sides, which is at once economical and convenient. In passing, we would like to say that the system was planned and installed by 1. F. Van Dusen, son of F. B. Van Dusen, president of the company. _ As already mentioned, there are two sheets only, comprising le system, which are joined together by a perforated fold so that 1€ ee general order sheets are face up, (See Fig. 1) one on top of other. “ 2 * How the Brockville Lumber Co Suppose an order is taken, a copy is made by using car- £3 4 Sle fet j terial.

The Brockville Lumber Corporation, Limited, as their many friends know, do not depend on their factory solely. They do a large business in both a wholesale and retail way in lumber, lath and shingles, and find that the factory cost system outlined suits their needs very well. A phenomenal movement of lumber from the Pacific by the wa- ter route has been one of the outstanding developments in British Columbia shipping in the last few months.

Aitchison Co., Limited, Founded Nearly Sixty Years Ago Becomes Incorporated—Veteran Heads of Concern Retire, Allowing Honored Employees to Take Hold of Business ; | The D. Aitchison Lumber Co., Limited, of Hamilton, is one of the oldest organizations in Canada, being originally founded by two brothers William and David Aitchison who came out to this country from Annon, Dumfrieshire, Scotland, in 1858. They had learned the trade of cabinet making in the old land and soon found employment in the various (branches of the lumber business and in 1866 began the manufacture of boxes in a small way in part of the building known as the Cooper carriage factory situated in the block bounded by King, Park, Main and Bay Streets which site in the Ambitious ‘City is still occupied by the present firm. For some years ‘business was confined to the manufacture of mill work. As the business extended and the need of new premises was felt they ‘bought from the Cooper company the main building with considerable land adjoin- ing which was used for a lumlber yard, and machinery was installed for the manufacture of sash, doors and interior finish. In 1894 the partnership known as Aitchison & Company was. dissolved by the death of the elder ‘brother, William. The business was taken over and carried on by David Aitchison as D,. Aitchi- son & Company. Business conditions generally had much improved and from that time on the firm made rapid progress and the volume of trade greatly increased. In 1898 David Aitchison passed away and was succeeded by his son W. J. Aitchison who carried on.a year or two alone when he took into the ‘partnership Fred Taylor who had been a successful contractor in Hamilton for many years. On Christmas night during the winter of 1902-3 the firm suffer- ed a set ‘back when the main building of the mill was destroyed by fire. It was a decidedly severe winter and they had a busy time clearing away the wreck and rebuilding to be ready for the busi- ness of the,coming season. A new structure and more modern machinery soon enabled the firm to make up for the loss caused’ by the fire. In 1906 so that they might secure lumber at first cost the firm bought a saw-mill on the Magnetawan river together with the right to cut timber on a 44 mile berth in the adjoining township. The business was carried on very successfully for about 15 years and their yard was kept supplied with most of the hemlock, spruce and birch which was required. The steady progress made by the Aitchison organization and the enviable position it holds as one of the oldest and most successful of its kind in Ontario has not been due to any brilliant strokes of trade but by a steady adherence to the old time qualities of strict. attention to business, honest dealing and service. After being in partnership for about 25 years Mr, Aitchison and Mr. Taylor felt that the time had come to have the employees as far Frederick Taylor, Hamilton. Partner for twenty-five years with W. J. Aitchi- son, in the lumber business y as possible take hold of the business, some of them having been in the service from 20 to 30 years. At the beginning of this year a company composed largely of the employees was granted a charter to operate the concern and with practically no change of personnel other than the dropping out of Messrs Aitchison and Taylor, The ‘business is being carried on along the same lines and poli- cies as previously and sales have ‘been extremely good considering the backward spring. The members of the new company are as follows.—President, M. E. Peterson; vice-president, D. Cole; Treas: urer, C. Peterson; Manager, S. S. Leggatt. All these men with the exception of M. E. Peterson had been £ connected with the ‘business more or less for a long period and of “course, are thoroughly acquainted with requirements of the trade. The prospects in Hamilton for the summer are promising. oo ont et ee ‘ CANADA LUMBERMAN 47 Giada Jumberman founded 1880 The National Lumber Journal for Forty Years Issued on the lst and 15th of every month by Hugh C.

Vol. 43 Toronto, May 15, 1923 No. 10 When an Order is Not an Order Many a concern has been wrecked in its career through an excess of business and too apparent prosperity. This statement, at first, may seem peculiar, even paradoxical. What is the reason of the downfall of many new and old firms? The lack of system, dearth of service, inferior quality of goods, want of working capital, loose business methods, unwise credits. and lax collections. There are not a few men who ostensibly think that the one requisite about “big business” is to secure orders, roll up accounts and pay no arbitrary attention to credits. “You will get your pay some time and volume is what counts,” they say, “Others are selling that fellow and taking a chance, why not us?” All this sounds plausible and pleasant but, in times of expansion or business depression, it is well to watch the financial status of clients. Orders that are landed too freely will bear close scrutiny and the mah, who falls readily for a generous consignment without some consideration, is likely to be the first to cancel or the last to pay. There are orders and orders. A solid, substantial business is worth more than one which is loosely run and is full of care and anxiety. Many a small concern, which is well governed and soundly administered, earns a deal more in proportion to investment and effort put into it than some colossal organization which has many ramifications and does not pay too close attention to individual accounts or has a top heavy overhead. Volume is the one thing that sounds big, and to have one speak glibly of millions of dollars of capital, turnover and sales is impres- sive and luminous, to the small fellow who comes in and can count his annual trade in the small figures. Only the other day, it came to light that one concern doing less than half a million dollars a year, made practically as much net pro- fit as another in the same line which did five or six times that amount. The latter looked like a mountainous structure groaning and bring- ing forth a mouse. And all this leads up naturally to orders for forest products. In the last, issue of the “Canada Lumberman” there appeared some points to be observed when ordering lumber. Twenty-three definite clauses were set forth which it would be well for those who make out or give orders, to follow. There was printed in the same issue some timely references, made by Mr. A. C. Manbert, at the Whole- _sale Lumber Dealers’ Association, Toronto, when he called attention to the fact that orders in these days should be carefully scrutinized. It was pointed out that many orders were not orders at all in the best and most acceptable idea. Some orders were an embarrassment; Others were a grievance; some a clog on the wheels of progress and others a possible source of bitterness, while a few weré an aggrava- tion. The whole thing was admirably summed up in the quotation “that an order which does not show every special condition entered into between the salesman and the customer, is not an order but a breeder of misunderstanding and dissension. Thus, in all orders, it is well to consider many things ;—the credit of a customer, his standing and past or present relations with the firm, and then to set forth explicitly the terms, the time of ship- ment, the character of the stock, grade, routing, discount, delivery, etc. It should be remembered that many an order is invaluable to a firm until the goods are delivered and collection made. When settlement is effected in full then a definite transaction has been concluded and something tangible established in building up and financing a business. The Spirit of Unity and Tolerance It is pleasing to note that a spirit of friendship and co-operation is prevailing in all ranks of the lumber trade. Everything points to higher ideals and loftier levels. In the old days there was treachery and suspicion and it was regarded as a clever denouement to put something over the other fellow or to beat him out by fair means or foul. Business ethics today are of a higher order. The man, who does not play the game and play it squarely and openly, is not likely to travel far on the road to permanency. Associations of various trades have done and are doing much to bring men together, to soften their acerbities, dethrone suspicion, engender thrust and stimulate respect. In the lumber trade as well as in allied lines all men have practically the same problems to face. The fellow across the street or down in the next block is not such an unattractive inhuman specimen of humanity after all if you only get to know him. This, however, requires more than a telephone talk or a bowing acquaintance. It means that you will take the trouble to pay him friendly calls every once in a while and discuss mutual problems with him and he will do the same with you. In the past dealers have been for years in the same line of busi- ness and even in small towns have not recognized one another. Now through the intervention of local, district and provincial Associations, the lumberman knows not only those engaged in the same line in his own town but also for many miles around. He feels that he has a friendly personal interest in them as they have in him. He be- comes bigger and broader than his business and takes a larger out- look of his calling and a wider survey of service. The Rotarian spirit is animating trade associations more and more and arousing kinder thoughts in those who are endeavoring to build up an honest living. The spirit of “live and let live” is abroad. Not very long since at one of the retail lumber dealers’ district gatherings it was pleasing, indeed, to see six of the leading forest products merchants of one city present and three from a smaller sister community. These constituted practically all the members of the trade in each place. They laughed and joked with one another, told stories and had a regular old boys’ reunion. A few years ago no one could have got them to mention the names of their opponents, without a slur or imprecation, and yet today each man is only too pleased to associate with his fellows, to serve on committees, take joint action on trade ethics and generally seek to usher in that higher and better state of affairs which is slowly but surely impregnating the whole mercantile and manufacturing systems of the present era. Consumption of Wood Ever Increases Canada is not alone becoming interested in the salvage of her forest resources. The European countries with extensive woodlands are also studying the situation and advocating economical policies of conservation and reforestation. In England the scientists having continually in mind the national resources of that country, are sound- ing the clarion call to protect the forests of Great Britain before it is too late. In the Mother Country it is recognized that, for each 100 tons of coal mined, at least, one ton of timber is required. Writers on the subject of forest conservation advocate that the watchword should be conservation of supplies, not merely the con- servation of England’s supplies, but the world’s, as the nations are interdependent. The writers then proceed to enumerate the multitude of things for which wood is used these days apart from construc- tion, and add that it is no wonder there is a depletion of the world’s forests, to say nothing of the enormously increased cost of living to the public. The question is asked if ingenuity cannot provide collap- sible packing cases, and possibly the most serious position is that, in spite of iron and steel having so heavily supplanted timber in con- struction work, the consumption of wood is increasing at an alarm- ing rate. It is pointed out that from thirty to forty years ago Great Britain’s imports of wood were £15,000,000 in value, while they re- ; 48 CANADA LUMBERMAN cently topped £100,000,000, and this refers to England’s newspaper supply dependent upon the forests. While one ton of waste paper would make 15 cwt. of newspaper, there seemed to be no means of collecting this waste for re-manufacture—a failure in economics and a waste of nature’s resources. They complain that the evening news- paper is a questionable necessity and a perpetual drag upon the tim- ber supplies. It is contended that the world generally has got away from the simplicity of living and is too lazy to study economics, and that there can be no doubt but that, with proper cultivation “grasses” would supply the need of men for paper. Does it Pay to Produce Spruce Lath? Are many lumber mills making the best possible use of their spruce slabs and edgings? It is more profitable to convert the slabs into lath than to dispose of them for fuel? There have been many discussions as to the utilization of waste forest products, sawdust for example, but comparatively little attention has been paid to the economical use of slabs and edgings. These have been gradually regarded as coming within the refuse class with their main and best use as lath lumber. The purpose of this article is to give figures submitted to the “Canada Lumberman” which require consideration in view of the difference in profit to the mill when this waste lumber is converted on the one hand into lath and on the other into fuel. The balance is distinctly favorable to the latter. It is not claimed that this holds good in the case of every mill, only those who are in a position to supply fuelwood to large towns and cities within a certain radius. Beyond that the freight rate operates against fuelwood, increasing the price to the consumer so as to make it practically impossible to ship. As a matter of fact, this trade is based on lower freight rates—high rates would kill it. As a basis of calculation, spruce slabs may tbe quoted at $4.00 per cord and edgings at $3.00 per cord. A thousand feet of spruce logs will produce about three-quarters of a cord of slabs and edgings, and if properly turned so as to produce slabs, instead of sawing logs, live and producing edgings will run about half a cord slabs and a quarter cord edgings per 1,000 feet. The value at the mill of the half cord of slabs is $2.00, and of the quarter cord of edgings 75 cents, a total of $3.66 per cord of slabs and edgings. A million feet of logs will produce 750 cords worth $3,745 on board cars. Now let us take the lath. About two-thirds of the 750 cords will, it is fair to assume, be large enough to make lath, and give about 700 pieces of lath per cord! of all grades and lengths. Taking this basis, the average price will be about $5.25 per thousand, from which must be deducted cost of manufacture, tying cord, etc., which conservatively may be estimated at $1.75 per thousand, leaving a net return of $3.50 per thousand. It must be remembered that the refuse from lath is of no value and must go either to the burner or refuse heap, whereas in the case of fuel the waste is nominal. The position may thus be summarized :— 750 cords of slabs and edgings for fuel at $3.66 $3,745 350,000 pieces of lath at $3.50 $225 250 cords of slabs and edgings unsuitable for Lape AL, woot mee EAR Wan bite eon eas O15 $2,140 which gives a balance in favor of fuel of $1,605 It might be objected that no consideration has been given to the difference in the cost of piling and loading, but the difference is so trifling as to be scarcely worth mentioning. The foregoing figures may not meet the approval of everyone, but they open up an avenue which is worth exploring, especially in view of the importance of not overlooking every source of additional revenue, and of utilizing, to the utmost extent, every by-product: of the lumber industry. Confidence in Your Competitor—What? Co-operation is the watchword of the day in many industries, and in the building up of business, quality and service are the elements that count the most. In connection with a business organization or an Association that wins acquisitions to its ranks, there must be mutual confidence and trust. Many federations or corporate bodies in the trade line make a mistake by seeking to accomplish too much during the first year or two. The result is that all energy peters out, and what looked like a promising and permanent institution, falls by the way- side. The attendance becomes irregular, the fervor of the members expires and the don’t-care spirit seems to prevade the whole guild. This is because strength has been shattered and there has been lacking concentration and co-operation. In forming an Association, too much should not be attempted at first, yet how often is the mistake made of seeking to carry out _ view, could get more out of it than he put into it. . rapidly too comprehensive a programme. Efforts should centre upon one or two practical subjects and progress be made on these so that a definite record of achievement may ibe ishown. If any (tbody attempts to deal with too many matters at the outset, they scatter their efforts over too wide a field and do not develop as effectively as if they contented themselves with concentrating attention upon one or two objects or aims and then adding gradually to the number. These observations are made in view of the fact that some new organizations in the lumber line are coming into existence, and it is well at the outset that the members should not be carried away by © any fallacies or misconceptions. It is necessary that all those, who ~ are chartered members of an Association, or enter at its inception © should have. confidence in one another. This is the basic element upon which great structures are reared and the standards of service, — conduct and management elevated and buttressed. With confidence ~ and a definite goal in view, matters are likely to proceed smoothly along the road of expansion and prestige. a When one uses the term ‘confidence,’ this does not mean a half-hearted belief in the other fellow or a mere toleration of him. As the president of one organization pointed out in a recent inaugu- ral address, the members must not feel that they were entering into a federation so as to learn some of the intimate inner workings of the other fellow’s affairs, as this was not the object in view. They must feel that everyone who came in, wanted to help all the others as much as he could, knowing in return that he would receive a greater measure of benefit for himself. If they did not hope for this greater ‘benefit, they should not join. There was no use in deluding themselves with ideas about joining an Association as a duty and getting nothing in return. The Association idea in itself was selfish, but anyone who joined in the proper spirit and with the right end in No. man however, could reap any good from an Association unless he had complete confidence in the other fellow and threw overboard any idea he had entertained in the past about certain chaps not intending to play the game fairly and squarely. As the work of the Association developed there would arise many things in which it would be neces- sary to display this feeling of confidence and mutual trust. While giving out certain facts, might sometimes go against the grain, yet all should realize that they had to co-operate fully and freely. Concluding, the speaker said—‘‘We may feel that it is an unnec- essary burden that we should be required to dig up essential facts and data in connection with our business and put them in tabular form for the benefit of the whole trade. We may occasionally feel that this particular information required is not of any value. We may have any one of several objections to co-operating unreservedly at different times, but I want to impress upon you all, at the outset, that the idea of confidence in one another, confidence in our officials and confidence in our Association as a whole, should be animating factors. This is the spirit, with which we should all be imbued and if we practice it, we can count upon good, practical results and the advancement of our work, usefulness and service.” f Woodman Spare That Tree Woodman, spare that tree!

At the last annual meeting of the Canadian Lumbermen’s Asso- ciation, held in Montreal, an interesting and impressive talk on in- surance was given by G. D. Finlayson, of Ottawa, Superintendent of Insurance. He touched upon the management, operation, losses, premiums, etc., of the different companies operating in.the Dominion, and in the course of his timely address said:—I do not know that I can say anything to you that you do not know already, perhaps, better than I do because you are concerned with insurance in a practical way while my interest is, necessarily, somewhat that of an observer. Canada, in 1921 paid as a tax in the form of fire insurance premiums about $50,000,000. For the fiscal year 1920-21, the total revenue of the Dominion government from income tax and business profits tax was about $40,000,000. The total re- venue from all excise duties was about $47,000,000. The total revenue from the Post Office department was about $26,000,000. The estimated revenue from all customs duties for the present fiscal year 1922-23 is about $100,000,000. These figures enable us to form some idea of the growth and importance of the insurance tax; and the remarkable thing is that while the Canadian public is very much agitated over these other forms of taxation—while we read of the public being driven to desperation, and even in some cases to suicide from the imposition of the income tax—we are inclined to feel that the attitude of the public toward the insurance tax, is one of easy- going ronchalance and indifference. The business of fire insurance in Canada is very largely con- ducted by British and foreign companies. The Canadian companies transact only about fifteen per cent of the total. British companies carry about fifty per cent. Foreign companies, mainly the United States, carry about thirty-five per cent, Life insurance is almost exactly the reverse. ‘Canadian companies carry about sixty-five per cent of the entire life insurance in Canada. Why is this? ‘To get the explanation we have to go back to 1877. In that year the Do- minion Government inacted legislation which set out that every British and Foreign company transacting insurance |business in Canada should maintain in Canada deposits sufficient to protect all Canadian policy holders. At that time a great many British and Foreign mutual life insurance companies opposed the necessity of making these large deposits and acting on the out-warn theory that mutual companies could not segregate their assets, decided to with- draw from the Canadian field, and the majority of the companies then transacting business in Canada decided to suspend operations. For the next ten or fifteen years, while life insurance companies were wholly inactive, Canadian life insurance companies got a foot- hold which they have never since lost. The First Big Fire Felt For fire insurance companies the year 1877 was also a bad year because in that year occurred the great St. John conflagration. Prior to that year Canadian fire insurance companies were also beginning to feel their strength. Along came the conflagration with its loss of thirteen million dollars and its insurance loss of six million dollars. Three or four Canadian companies were ruined. During the next five years two or three more gave up the race; and Canadian fire insurance received a set back from which it has never yet been wholly able to recover. It was twenty-eight years after 1877, in 1905, before the number of Canadian companies in the field attained the number doing business in 1877. During that twenty-eight years, - twenty-five Canadian companies passed out. The underwriting loss of the twenty-five companies amounted to something like ten million dollars, The experience of Canadian companies during the forty years over which our records extend was an underwriting loss of something like one per cent of the premium. Canadian capital is afraid of the fire insurance business, and the proportion of Cana- dian business represented in the total business is, therefore, small; and, what is of more importance, it is decreasing, ~ Now, what is the situation in insurance to-day. During the last forty or fifty years insurance has yielded a profit to the insurers of just under five per cent of the premiums. I do not think that anyone will say considering the risk that fire insurance business is under, a margin of five per cent on the premiums is an inordinate There is criticism about the elements entering into the profits; that the acquisition extent entering into all computation of profit Lumbermen Hear Able Talk on Insurance —How Companies are Operated — CANADA LUMBERMAN 49 is too large. I am inclined to agree. The acquisition extent of fire insurance companies to-day is about forty per cent of the premiums. Sixty-five per cent is taken up with losses; the balance is profit. Of that forty per cent, twenty per cent is approximately the agents commission, three, four or five per cent is taxation; and the balance is overhead, office and general expenses. Another item entering into the computation of the profits is the reserve. We very often hear that the reserve of fire insurance companies is too high. With that I am inclined not to agree. I think the main thing in fire insurance is to have stability and sol- vency, and so long as fire insurance companies in the event of liquid- ation are required to return to their policy holders the full honor and portion of the premium and so long as on the cancellation of their policies they must return to the policy holders the full honor and portion of the premium, they must have a large reserve. Reserves are not too High It is quite true that the companies may reinsure; but so long as these contingencies are there they must maintain that reserve. As a rule the reserve is not found to be too high. The companies want to give their policy holders policies which are of unquestionable security; and I think, notwithstanding the times of the present, every one of you, who has a policy in companies licensed in Canada may very well sleep soundly at nights. The question of expense is, I think, directly related to the num- ‘ber of companies. We sometimes hear that there is insufficient competition in Canada. I am inclined to think that that is true; but that does not arise from the number of companies transacting busi- ness, In fact, I am inclined to think we are suffering from over competition rather than under competition so far as the number of companies are concerned. Twenty years ago there were thirty- eight companies transacting fire insurance business in Canada. To- ‘day there are one hundred and sixty five or seventy companies. The average amount of premium income to-day per company is about the same as it was twenty years ago. Overhead plays the same part to-day as it did twenty years ago when the volume of business was about one-fifth what it is to-day. Not only that, but the large number of companies has pro- duced a scramble for business and a scramble more important still for agents. The number of agents has inordinately increased until we have to-day twenty thousand fire insurance agents. The average premium income per agent to-day is less than it was twenty years ago. The result of the large number of companies coming into ‘Can- ada and the scramble for agencies and agents has caused an increase in commissions \because if the demand for agents is greater than the supply, you can easily see that the commissions have to be increased in order that the old companies will not loose their agents when the newcomers make a better offer. [ am convinced that the acquisition cost 1n fire insurance companies to-day would be less if we had the number of companies reduced by one half. More Competition in Premium Rates Now, is there a lack of competition due to the association of companies in underwriters associations for the purpose of fixing rates? I am inclined to think that is so. ‘I think we haven’t enough competition in premium rates. Our financial records make no dis- tinction between what are called Board and Non-Board companies, but the proportion is usually taken as five to one. In the lumbering industry I understand the proportion of Non-Board insurance is larger and is increasing. As you are all probably aware, during the last few years there have been admitted to Canada as licensed companies of insurers a number of reciprocal concerns specializing in insurance business. These concerns have entered Canada on the same basis, competing under the same conditions as other companies—stock and others. They are writing an increasingly large portion of the lumber busi- ness in this country. The volume of ‘business transacted by these companies I think runs in the neighborhood of thirty millions, the total premium income being about six hundred thousand dollars. Now, to get an idea as to the place that business occupies, I may say that the total amount of unlicensed insurance business re- ported to the department amounts to about twenty-two million ee 50 | CANADA LUMBERMAN dollars. So that, the business transacted by those specializing in insurance in Canada as licensed concerns is*ssome what greater than the total amount of ‘business placed beside the unlicensed con- cerns in the lumber industry. I want to say right here on this question of competition that nothing will please the department more than to see independent competition in insurance in the lumber industry and in all other lines of industry increase. The larger you can make that compet- itive line of business the better. What we do feel like insisting upon is this; that companies transacting and carying Canadian insurance should domicile in this country and protect their Canadian policy holders. We are more and more inclined to stress this point by reason of the fact that we are faced continually with the problems of Canadian policy holders with companies that are not licensed in Canada, who have failed to collect because of the unwillingness of the companies to pay either because they are in liquidation or other- wise. Broker had to Make Good | Now, this problem is bound to become of some importance. It is accentuated by the decision of the Ontario courts a few weeks ago whereby a broker who had placed business with unlicensed companies was held liable for a claim which occurred for five thous- and dollars when the company with which he had placed the busi- ness failed to pay. The result of that situation is this: that ‘brokers placing this business are more and more inclined to put upon the insured himself the responsibility of saying whether or not the com- pany with which he is placing the business is sound or not. Now, that is a responsibility which the ordinary insured does not care to assume. Re that decision we have received a great many applica- tions from policy holders asking to be advised as to the stability of the companies. I am not going to say that all unlicensed) companies are not sound. That would be extremely foolish, because many of them are sound. But, when the question is put to us in that way, all we have to say is that the insured must take his own risk because we have no means of saying whether the company which is now sound will continue to be sound, and in a year if it has proved to be unsound we have nothing on hand that we can atitach to secure the policy holders.. I would like to see all these unlicensed insurance companies obtain licenses in Canada and deposit securities in Canada, That can be obtained. There is no logical obstacle to its being done. As I said, years ago there was a feeling that mutual companies could not segregate their assets. That is no longer in force. mutual companies are doing that now. The effect of the licensing of these companies in Canada would be the most helpful movement that we can possibly have in fire insurance ‘to-day. No Elimination of Competition A number of you are concerned probably about the tax that has been imposed on these unlicensed insurance people. The impression was unfortunately given that this movement was founded on the ground of restricting, if not, indeed, eliminating competition. Nothing could be further from the fact. We desire to equalize the burden of taxation upon all classes. I hope the time will never come -when it can be said that the Dominion government places a burden on capital which comes into this country and makes its home here while other business doing ‘business from abroad goes scot free. Having equalized these conditions ‘the greater competition we have among these companies—-the greater competition we have among companies not belonging to wunderwriters—-the better it will be. There will be a lowering of insurance costs, and the creation of cer- tain abuses which are bound to creep in when competition is not available in sufficient volume. I do not want to continue this talk indefinitely. I think our purpose would be very much served ‘by a discussion on these prob- lems. If there are any questions arising out of this insurance matter in which I could assist in any way, I will be very glad to assist; but you may have problems Of which J know nothing. If I cannot answer your question I will ibe very frank and say so. What Leading Lumberman Says. Mr, W. E. Bigwood, of Toronto said: During the last few years I do not suppose we lumbermen have been more interested in any- thing than in the question of insurance. No matter whether you have a small mill or a large mill, a small yard or a large yard, during the ordinary course of business our members are obliged to seek information regarding the insurance problem. It is only natural to seek that information especially if the idea is prevalent that the rates are too high. That is probably why the average policy holders are carrying insurance in different fields, whether mutual, reciprocal or other insurance. I was hoping Mr. Finlayson would go on and explain the difference in the kinds of insurance, but he is free to answer questions along this line. The point that impressed me most was the system of inspection. As far as mutuals and reciprocals are Some of the. concerned, they have their regular inspections, and as a rule there is someone around our branch every few weeks. The result has” been that we have been able to secure a good portion of our insurance from the so-called outside companies, As far as results which have been obtained in any fire we have had, we have had very prompt settlement from all. The methods are a little different; but it does seem to me that the whole question is the question of inspection, and I’ was hoping that Mr. Finlayson would have touched on that subject. Examining Risks Very Closely That is another thing that I think the recriprocals and mula have to hold in this country, because I believe the inspection they give is very important. They will not take every risk until they have examined the risk very closely. If they find that certain things should be done by the policy holder and the policy seeker consents that is alright, but if not, they ignore the risk. That may be one reason why the tariff companies are obliged to charge a higher rate than others. The reciprocals and the mutuals have the advantage in the return of the profits; the tariff companies are stock companies and the money they make goes to the stockholders. The mutuals and reciprocals are making a certain allowance for necessary reserves, ~ I think Mr. Finlayson will agree with me that that makes a very attractive form of policy for the average layman. I heartily agree with him that ‘protection is necessary; that the government should — have a certain control over them beacuse the average man has not time to study fully the intrication of the insurance business. There- fore, in the department of Insurance it is essential that we have all the information obtainable about the different companies and have the public protected no matter whether you carry large or small lines. I would like to ask Mr. Finlayson his idea of close inspection and the difference in rates between the tariff and the mutuals and the reciprocals. The System of Inspection is Good Mr. Finlayson continuing said. On the question of inspection I think there can be no difference of opinion. I am filfed with ad- miration for the system of inspection inaugurated thirty or forty years ago by the mutual companies and) continued ever since. I think it has been of the greatest importance to industry both in Canada and the United States. Yo my mind it is the very strongest com- bination that can be given. I believe Mr. Bigwood is right that not ~ sufficient importance has been given to inspection of properties by the stock insurance companies. I think the mutual companies have shown them the way. The inspection which they are now giving, and which I think is increasing year by year, is very probaly due to the competition from the mutual companies, That is one of the things I had in mind when I spoke of the correction of certain defects. There is no doubt that there is a great deal in what Mr. Bigwood gays that the stock company, by reason of the fact that it writes all business, must have a larger margin of profit than the company which limits its business to practically fire-proof risks. I was very much surprised with an argument advanced by a wholesale dealer in Winnipeg a few years ago. This man had a very highly protected plant and his insurance was placed in licensed © stock companies. I expressed my surprise that his risk was not carried by the mutual companies. His argument was something along this line.. He said: “I have a plant which is eligible for the mutual companies, but I know that I can obtain a very much reduced rate, but my plant is of value to me in so far as I can sell my goods to retailers all through this country. The places of ‘business of these retailers are not eligible for mutual companies. They are not eligible for unlicensed insurance of any kind. They can be insured only in the stock companies. Now, it is well worth my while to see that stock company insurance is possible in order that my business may prosper. Therefore, while I am, myself, eligible for the mutual com-_ panies, it is good business for me to patronize the companies which will insure my customers and make it possible for me to carry on business and make a profit.” There is no doubt there is something there. That is the atti- tude of a considerable number of men who have plants’ which are eligible for the lower rates. They realize that the stock companies are carrying a line of business jwhich cannot tbe secured elsewhere. Now, from the fire prevention standpoint—and you must be con cerned with fire prevention as well as fire insurance—I would say that every one of these small places should either go out of busines or be put in such a condition that they are eligible for the ne companies; but that is impracticable. Making Property Fire Proof There is no question at all in my mind that the stiff inspection instituted by these big concerns has been of greatest importance and (benefit in showing property owners how their property can be made absolutely fire-proof. The rate is, no dowbt, considerably less, 2 < + Of course, remember this: the insured at the outset pays five or ten dollars more than he pays the stock company by way of a deposit premium, For instance, he pays fifteen or twenty cents on a sprink- ler building. The insured going to the mutual will pay seventy or eighty or ninety cents or possibly one dollar for it. At the end the unabsorbed premium is taken and returned—that ninety cents—to the insured. Take a case where a stock rate is twenty cents. The insured will probably deposit with the mutual company at the out- set one dollar. At the end of the year he will probably get back ninety cents. You are getting the use, in the meantime, of his dollar for a year on which is earned six per cent. He has, therefore, re- ceived sixteen cents really, ten cents unabsorbed premium and six cents interest. I think there is no doubt that the insured having made that deposit and the business having ‘been cancelled, or, if we can conceive it, the company going into liquidation, the policy holder can claim a claim in liquidation for the unearned portion of that premium. It is a liability that must be covered by the deposit. The man having made a deposit with the mutual company, the company must incur a liability of fifty cents. The mutual company says: we are asked to make a deposit of five times the stock companies. The answer to that is this: you have received five times as much money as the stock company. If you wish to be released the remedy lies in your reducing the deposit premium. For thirty or forty years the return has ‘been eighty or ninety per cent of the average prem- ium. If instead of a dollar they took thirty, forty or fifty cents, then their deposit would be reduced to the same as the stock company. So far as the reciprocals are concerned the method of operation is different. The reciprocal charges as a rule return to the insured the same twenty or twenty-five per cent. There is, of course, the contingent liability. The member of the concern is, as a rule, liable to the amout of the premium paid. If he has paid one hundred dol- lars premium and the losses are excessive he may be called upon to pay the loss. There is a comeback in certain contingencies to the insured in the stock company insurance. In the case of these larger companies the contingency is something that you need not worry much about. The experience of twenty or thirty years has been in every respect satisfactory. The Bulwark of Modern Civilization The home-owning spirit is what should be encouraged in every community. Wherever there is a large building campaign, new streets and districts spring up. There you will find a go-ahead town along with peace and contentment. In any centre where the major- ity of the residents are home-owners, there is seen a solidity and permanence which is not witnessed in municipalities where the growth is of a mushroom nature or where industrial enterprises are such that workers are busy one season and slack the next. They live only in rented dwellings and are prepared to leave the burg as quickly as they entered it. There is too little publicity given to the fact that, by systematic effort, men can save money regularly so that they can build their homes without and greater labor or sacrifice than by paying rent. Most every bread winner admits that he can pay rent, espe- cially if the rent is not more than 25 per cent of his weekly wage or salary, but when it comes to buying a home, he stands back aghast and wonders how on earth he could surmount the apparently staggering figure that he sees before him. All he needs is confidence and courage. These can be brought about through co-operation and the stimulation of loan and savings societies, own-your-home exposi- tions, educative literature by the retail lumbermen, motion pictures and other agencies. : he The most widely known song in the world to-day is “Home Sweet Home.” It is just one hundred years ago that John Howard Payne wrote the memorable words. ‘The. song was first sung in public at Covent Garden Theatre in London, England, on May 8th, 1823, being included in the second act of an opera called “Clari” or the “Maid of Milan.” Howard was an American actor and. his sweet, heart-compelling production will never die. He has put into poetry sentiments and thoughts that will live as long as domestic bliss itself. The great danger of Canadian institutions to-day is that they tend to shatter rather than build up the home, its influence and wholesome surroundings. Much might be said about the home being the bulwark of the nation, the foundation of its citizenship, the strength of its man- hood and womanhood, and the backbone of its duration and integrity. Early home associations are the strongest and most binding, and the teachings instilled in youth are not soon or easily forgotten. On the plastic mind of the child if right principles are inculcated and high ideals presented, the remembrance of these will be strong and act as a sheet anchor in periods of stress and strain. In this world we all like to be well thought of and well spoken CANADA LUMBERMAN 51 of. As the family is the great institution that clusters around the home, so in the upbringing of children, the parents of to-day should seek to foster that spirit which makes for strength of character, nobility of purpose and steadfastness of will. When a family shifts from one place to another, having no fixed abode and no opportunity to cultivate ideals or visions, no time to give. attention to the beauti- ful, the attractive or the aesthetic, an inferior quality of citizenship is engendered, along with disregard for the higher standards of living and honor. There exists the susceptibility to give way to temptation and low ideals. Much more might be said upon the home and what it stands for, what can be put into it and what can be taken out of it. The follow- ing lines by J. O. Mackie, which recently appeared in the “American Lumberman,” set forth the domestic delights of a real home, a real family and a real life :— I will build me a home in a quiet place, Away from the noise and the crowd, Where shade trees meet across the street, And children are allowed. No lifeless iron or raw red brick, Or sullen walls of stone, Nor fence of steel make neighbors feel That I want to be alone. I will build it strong with the sturdy fir, And the fragrant cedar and pine; With a garden so that flowers may grow Around this home of mine. And there each night on my front porch, When the sun goes down in the west, My wife will be there in her rocking chair, And I'll be there in my vest. And my boy will be there with his eyes on his dad Who will sit with his feet on the rail, And tell him about some wonderful trout That would soon have turned into a whale. And [ll think of the time when we lived in a flat, And squandered our money for style, And I'll think of the guys who never get wise, And I’ll smile and smile and smile. New Sales Tax on Lumber Under the Fielding budget a change has been made in the sales tax on lumber, which will now pay the same tax as will prevail on other products, namely, six per cent. The new tax will become effective August lst and will be collected at the source of production, that is, on the sale by the manufacturer to his customer. The present sales tax on lumber is three per cent, which is payable upon the price at which the manufac- turer sells to his customer. No tax has been collected from the retailer unless he bought direct from the manu- facturer or purchased a further manufactured product in lumber such as sash, doors, etc. e The new sales tax on lumber imported into Canada will be six per cent. upon the duty paid value. The present tax is four and one-half per cent. The duty paid value is understood to mean the invoice price plus the duty. No intimation has yet been received from Ottawa as to whether the manufacturer can absorb the same and show only one item on his invoice, or whether the sales tax must be shown as an added item in addition to the price at which the lumber is sold. ae CANADA LUMBERMAN Character and Quality of Western Hemlock— Growing Demand in Eastern Market The high character and quality of B- C. hemlock, particularly in grades designed for interior use, are bringing merited recognition in the major markets of the East. The products of this splendid, vigorous Western tree, although superior to that of the Eastern species, have suffered because of the prejudice existant against the name hemlock; caused by the objectionable qualities of the Eastern variety. Had it been more fortunately named, B. C. hemlock would have been coming into the eastern market in great volume in a com- paratively short space of time. The necessity for educational work would have been eliminated. Strictly by its merit, B. C. hemlock has rapidly become assured of a permanent and growing demand in all the major markets of this continent. Such assurance is particularly welcome, not only to those manufacturers now producing hemlock, but to the industry as a whole. Enlarged markets for this excellent wood were not only desirable, but absolutely essential.to economic welfare. Ranging southward from Alaska and as far east as Idaho, hem- lock is found along the entire coast, and also in the interior of British Columbia. It thrives best on deep, porous soil where lots of moist- ure is available. It predominates in certain coastal districts of British ‘Columbia and it is in this province that it reaches its great- est development in size and quality. Here it reaches from 125 to 175 feet in heighth and ranges from two to five feet in diameter. It seldom occurs in pure stands, usually being mixed with Douglas fir, Sitka spruce and red cedar in the lower elevations and various firs in higher altitudes. The Tree Multiplies Rapidly A prolific seeder, it multiplies rapidly and its acreage is in- creasing in proportion to the natural growth of other coast woods: Its ability to withstand shade enables it to flourish where other species would not live and frequently results in the establishment of hemlock reproduction to the almost complete exclusion of other woods. It is estimated that there is, in British Columbia, about 52 billion feet of standing hemlock timber or approximately 25% of the entire merchantable stand. As this-percentage will increase yearly for reasons already assigned, this wood is one of the most important in British Columbia in available supply. The estimated cut in 1916 was 101,315,000 ft. bm., and has undoubtedly been considerably increased since. As hemlock is present in large quantity, the logging of this tree in conjunction with fir, cedar and spruce is an economic necessity and closer utilization of its products will eventually’ bene- fit all branches of the industry. B. C, hemlock is not a general utility wood in the sense that we speak of Douglas fir, but for the purpose to which it is adapted, no superior is found among comfetitive woods. Of lower strength value and durability than Douglas fir, B. C. hemlock should not be used as heavy timbers nor exposed to weath- er conditions unless painted: There is this exception—hemlock tim- bers can be used with the utmost satisfaction for sub-flooring: in dock construction if entirely immersed in water. The heart and ring shake which are ever present in the Eastern hemlock are unknown in the B. C. variety. Possessed of exceptional ability to hold nails, resistant to splitting, it yields our finest com- mon boards and excellent small dimension. As the size of the tree is less than that of other coast woods, so the knots are smaller and of better type. When dry the wood is both odorless and tasteless and the lower grades of common lumber make excellent material for food contain- ers and other types of boxes. The cuttings produced are of high grade and its strength, as compared to pine and spruce, combined with its resistance to splitting, have brought it an enviable reputation as a ‘box material.. Many millions of feet are utilized yearly for this purpose and considerable quantities of B. C. hemlock boxes have been shipped to the fruit growers of Ontario, proving highly satisfactory. Lends Itself to Interior Finish It is, however, as an interior finish, in clear grades, that B. C. hemlock surpasses. Of slow, uniform growth and consequent even texture its grain is close and makes a splendid ‘base for white enamel By Kenneth M. Brown, Toronto finish. Because of its clean, bright, grey-white color, it lends itself to any color of stain which may be applied. French greys, the var- ious oak, mission or mahogany finishes may be applied with un- varying satisfaction. Because of its even texture, when flat varnish is used, the grain tones down giving a soft, quiet effect very pleasing and restful to the eye In cabinet work, by using gloss varnish and rubbing with fine steel wool, the highest type of gloss or piano finish can be obtained. The clear lumber of B. C. hemlock is of comparatively young growth and the surface hardens with exposure to the air. This char- acteristic enhances its value, particularly as flooring. Being resist- ant to any raising of the grain, clear hemlock provides the ‘best of flat grain flooring. Within the Toronto offices of the British Co- An average stand of British Columbia hemlock lumbia Lumber Commissioner, No, 51 Yonge St., there has ‘been in- stalled the finest exhibit of Western woods to be found in Canada, or possibly, on the Continent. This exhibit has already been de- scribed in the pages of the “Canada Lumberman.” The walls of one of the rooms comprising this exhibit have been solid panelled with B. C. hemlock, using edge grain battens. The panel treatment is highly distinctive and effective and the result is a convincing proof of the beauty of this wood for interior finishing. This impressive display is also a splendid tribute to its designer, Mr. Wm. Lyon Somerville, one of the most progressive and promin- ent architects of Toronto. Previous to this work, Mr: Somerville had never seen B. C. hem- lock installed as trim. Since he has designed hospitals at Hearst, Dryden and Orangeville,. Ont., all of which are finished in hemlock. The Kapuskasing town planning project was designed by Mr. Somer- ee a ee ville and the first unit of houses, costing $135,000, are being finish- ed throughout with hemlock, doors as well as trim. A community hall, church and other buildings are also projected and when built, will be finished in the same way. ‘The enthusiasm with which clear hemlock doors and trim have been received by Toronto contractors during the last few months has been nothing short of remarkable. The writer has talked to several contractors, some of whom made their first acquaintance ' with this wood in the Spring of last year, and without exception they have praised it highly. They experimented first by using it to trim the second floors of moderate priced homes. Their satisfaction has been so complete that hemlock is now being used throughout in homes of moderate price and in the second floors of very expensive homes, hardwood generally being used on ground floors of homes of this class. Hem- lock doors and trim have also been used to finish one or two apart- ment buildings, with the exception of the main stairway and front doors, which are of red oak. Some of these contractors have recent- ly built homes for their own use and these homes have been finished in clear hemlock. In every instance, they have expressed satisfac- tion with the ease of cutting and nailing and the advantage of clear trim and doors which provide an excellent base for either white enamel or stained finish, Because of similarity in coloring and grain tone cottonwood veneer panels are generally used in the making of hemlock doors. _ Where hemlock trim is used, any interior panelling is usually carried out in cottonwood veneer for the same reasons. Tihe proof of the pudding lies in the eating. B.C hemlock has now passed the experimental stage and its value has been proven beyond dispute. Artificial prejudice has been overcome by concrete facts. The production of the hemlock of our Western forests has ceased to be a charge against the industry. When the transition is completed it will be in greater demand for the purposes to which it is adapted than any competing wood. Progressive Toronto Firm in New Location There are many rapidly growing districts in Toronto and one of the most progressive is in the Danforth section where new homes and business blocks are springing up on all sides. Naturally there is a great deal of business in the lumber line in that area, and in order to take advantage of this rapidly-developing community, the Rastall Lumber Co., Limited, recently placed their new lumber yard and planing mill in an eligible location. They were formerly operating at 1072 Queen St. East, Toronto, and their new site at 2789 Danforth Ave., corner Dawes Road, is an ideal one. ‘Ihe plant represents the last word in construction and equipment. The Rastall Lumber Co. have been in business for eleven years, being established in 1912 by Ross A. Rastall, who for a long period was manager of the Mickle, Dyment plant in Toronto. A few years ago Mr. Rastall retired from active executive participation in the business, and his son, R. A. W. Rastall, became managing-director of the Rastall Lumber Co. and has since guided the firm with good judgment and foresight. The yard of the company, which some months ago was rough and uneven, has been carefully graded and well laid out. The build- ings were erected by day labor and everything rounded rapidly into shape. Not only are the sheds, factory, etc., all new, but the equip- ment, as recently installed, is of the latest type. There are in the planing department, a planer, matcher, resaw, 26-inch planer, band saw, jointer, power feed rip saw and sticker, and in the sash and door department, a cut-off saw, variety rip saw, tenoner, sash and door sticker, chain mortiser, hollow chisel sash relisher and a belt sander. All of the equipment was supplied by Cowan & Co., of Galt. The new mill is 85 x 98 feet in dimensions and close by is the _ power plant equipped with 150 h.p. Goldie & McCulloch engine and a John Inglis boiler. By means of a blower system installed by the Canadian Sirocco Co., of Windsor, Ont., all mill waste is conveyed to the furnace. The Rastall Lumber Co. intend in the near future installing suit- able dry kilns and erecting a new office and driveway on a 49-foot lane fronting on Danforth Ave. The company have good shipping facilities, a G.T.R. siding running through the main yard. There is a large storage shed convenient to the planing mill and the lumber, when taken from the machines, is easily conveyed by truck to the different racks on both sides of the storage room. The Rastall Lum- ber Co, have ample space across the street which they employ for piling rough lumber and their old yard on Queen St. East is also used at present as an auxiliary piling ground, CANADA LUMBERMAN 53 Breezy Paragraphs in Short Shape J. D. Mantion, of Ottawa, is endeavoring to have a match fac- tory erected in Sault Ste. Marie and has placed the proposition be- fore the Board of Trade of that city. The Mageau Lumber Co. have started operations in their new mill at Field, Ont., which replaces the one destroyed by fire some time ago. The plant will be operated night and day and it is expected that the output will be from 100,000 to 120,000 feet daily. The com- pany have an unusually large number of logs ‘which will be cut up into lumber. The Abitibi Power & Paper Co., Limited, in recognition of the good work done by their employees in increasing the production of newsprint to over 500 tons a day, recently tendered them a banquet at Iroquois Falls, Ont. R. A. McInnes, manager of the company, presided and the event was a happy one, being attended by over 1,100 employees... Congratulatory speeches were made and an attractive programme carried out. Injunction restraining the Western Timber Corporation Limited disposing of timber limits near Port Haney, B.C., which it agreed last February to sell to W. C. Webber of that locality for $80,000,’ has been continued by Mr. Justice Murphy. On behalf of the com- pany Mr. W. J. Baird applied to dissolve the injunction; but, at the conclusion of argument his lordship said he would read the author- ities, the injunction continuing in the meantime. The W. W. Powell Co., which operates a large match factory at Nelson, has taken over the sawmill at Cooper Creek, B.C., and has placed 20 men at work turning out lumber for the factory. In addi- tion, the newly incorporated Nelson Lumber & Manufacturing Com- pany, has taken over a mill which has been idle in Nelson; is in- stalling machinery, and will within the next two weeks, begin a large contract of sawing logs for the match block plant. Thirty-nine employees of Kirkland Lake, Ont., camp who were _ burned out several months ago, recently filed their names with the clerk of Teck Township in an effort to get sufficient lumber from the Northern Ontario Fire Relief Committee, their intention being to erect houses in Kirkland Lake. The families will, however, not be able to get the lumber as the committee has ruled that no lumber will be granted for building purposes outside the fire zone. The St. John River recently went on the rampage and floods did great damage in New Brunswick. At Fredericton, the capital city, it is estimated that the loss will be from $5,000,000 to $10,000,- 000. Millions of feet of lumber floated down the river unchecked and the boom companies were unable to swing booms. This lumber will, probably, run out in the Bay of Fundy and much of it will be a total loss. Twenty-one provincial bridges were also swept away by the flood. That 743,462 acres of forests were ravaged by 1,608 fires, which broke out in the course of last year, is the astounding fact brought out by the report issued recently by Hon. Mr. Mercier, minister of lands and mines. The report indicates that in May alone, last year, 552,506 acres were attacked by fires and that though the total area affected was less by a few acres than the previous year, the losses are said to have been heavier. The cost of fighting the fires reached over half a million dollars. Timber cruising in the Algoma district will start later this year than usual and will not be under way until the end of May. A. H. Huckson, Crown Timber Agent, of Sault Ste. Marie, is in charge of the men in the work of cruising. Extensive work will be done on the Mississauga forest reserve and townships to the north as well as along the line of the Algoma Central Railway. During the past few days fire rangers have been despatched to many points in the Algoma and Sault division to take up their duties at the different stations. James Thompson, of the Thompson & Heyland Lumber Co., Toronto, recently delivered an interesting address before the Kiwanis Club, of Toronto, on the resources. of Canada. Mr. Thompson made special reference to the country’s resources in paper and pulpwood, and declared that the Government was away behind the times in its policy of reforestation: In Europe to-day, the speaker stated, an up-to-date system prevailed to preserve the forest, but if the present policy continued in Canada, even this generation would live to learn that our forests could not continue for ever. P. O’Brien .and W. J. Murphy have engaged in a partnership under the name of the O’Brien Agencies, 421 Transportation Build- ing, Montreal, as forwarding agents for export lumber shippers. Mr. O’Brien was for several years manager of the Montreal office of W. & J. Sharples, Limited, Quebec, exporters, and naturally has a wide acquaintance with the export trade. Mr. Murphy is an ex- perienced and practical lumberman, carrying on business as the William J. Murphy Lumber Company. The O’Brien Agencies will thus act as agents and also carry on a wholesale lumber business. 54 Major Herron Starts in Wholesale Line Major R. B. Herron has em- barked in the wholesale lumber business in Toronto with offices at 33 Adelaide St. West. He will specialize in Ontario softwoods and also piling, cribbing and round timbers. Major Herron is well known in the lumber line and was until recently in charge of the manufacturing operations of R. B. Herron & Co., Tionaga, Ont., with which firm he still re- tains his interest. He has been in the lumber game all his life, starting in as a lumberjack and becoming a camp foreman. One of his first important posts was taking out a large quantity ot logs for J. R: Booth in the Temis- kaming district. Later -he had charge of one of the big camps of Gillies Bros. after which for a couple of years he supervised the Temiskaming operations of the Rideau Lumber Co. Major Herron next undertook several large contracts for supplying the piling, trestle and bridge timbers for the Canadian Transcontinental, the I. & N. O., the C.P.R. and C.N.R. and served for two years in France with the 7th Canadian Railways Troops, commanding one of the companies. On his return to Can- ada, in company with others, the firm of R. B. Herron & Co. was organized and has since been operating extensively at Mileage 122 and 125 on the Canadian National Railways west of Sudbury, the latter mill often being referred to as the ‘soldiers’ sawmill” owing to the number of returned men employed there. During the past R. B. Herron, Toronto winter the company cut a large quantity of pulpwood for the Spanish © River Pulp & Paper Mills. Lumber Companies at Pembroke are Busy The Pembroke Lumber Co., Pembroke, Ont., have resumed opera- tions and the Colonial Lumber Co. intend starting their plant in Pembroke about the middle of the present month. The Pembroke Lumber Co. will work a double shift this year. In former years the night gang was taken for granted, but during the war it was dis- continued, and has not been resumed until the present. A motor has been installed to run the big gang saw and other improvements have been made which will considerably increase the daily output. About 400 men will be employed and the season’s payroll will be in the neighborhood of $200,000. The company will cut about 30,000,- 000 feet this year. The Colonial Lumber Company’s mill will also work at full capa- city throughout the season, About 250 men will be engaged and the cut will be in the neighborhood of 21,000,000 feet. The payroll for the season will amount to about $125,000. Fear Timber Famine in Near Future A report just issued by the Forestry Commissioners, London, Eng., says the meausures which are being adopted by various foreign countries indicate the existence of widespread apprehension of a timber famine at a no distant date, and also expresses the opinion that the results of such a famine would be more disastrous for the United Kingdom than for any other country. The demand, continues the report, is constantly increasing, and virgin forests are being worked out far more rapidly than was ex- pected, and adds: “There can be little doubt that the Government will in the near future have to choose between a resumption of a full planting program adopted by Parliament and taking a risk which no other country is prepared to take.” Shantymen’s Christian Association Elects Officers At the annual meeting of the Shantymen’s Christian Associa- tion, held recently in Toronto, the following officers for the coming year were elected—President, H. B. Gordon, Toronto; vice-presi- dent, J. J. Gartshore, Toronto; secretary-treasurer, W,. H. Adamson, Toronto; general superintendent,. Wm. Henderson, Toronto; assist- ant superintendent, W. A. Fuller, Victoria, B.C.; assistant superin- tendent, T. M. Sutherland, Winnipeg; field superintendent and evangelist, L. R. MontGomerie, Detroit, Mich. CANADA LUMBERMAN The Board of Directors is composed of the officers and the fol- lowing :— ibys, Wane Howitt, Toronto; R. Wightman, Toronto; J. H. S. Kerr, Toronto; Jno. Wickson, Toronto; S. T. Smith, Winnipeg; W. T. Nobles, Edmonton; J. F. Bullock, St. John, N.B.; R. W. Sharpe, Varicouver, B.C.; C. A. Erickson, Chicago, Ill.; R. O’Brien, New York, N.Y.; W. O. Andrews, St. Louis, Mo. The Shantymen’s Christian Association is an organization of Christian men engaged in carrying the Gospel to lumber and con- struction camps, mines and rural communities all over the continent. The Association is about to issue a weekly magazine which will be known as ‘““The Shantyman.” S:C.A., Toronto, is the editor. Some Standard Thicknesses Recommended Recommendations on sizes of so-called 1 in. and 2 in. lumber have been made by the Forest Products Laboratory, of Madison, Wisconsin, to the Central Committee on Lumber Standards. The recommendations are as follows and will be found interesting :— One-Inch Boards.—It is believed that 13/16 inch is the mini- mum thickness which will give a reasonable degree of satisfaction for requirements of use, although an increased thickness will give greater service. It is also recognized that under best manufacturing conditions 13/16 inch is the maximum obtainable from boards cut one inch thick in the rough green condition. Furthermore, economic lumber distribution and forest conservation both demand that inch lumber when dressed be the maximum obtainable from the rough ‘boards as sawed from the log. Therefore, 13/16 inch is recommended as the finished dry thick- ness for so-called one-inch boards. ; Two-Inch Dimensions.—It is ‘believed that lumber 154 inches ‘thick will satisfactorily meet the strength requirements of joist and studding, which uses govern the thickness of dimension; and that sizes in excess of 15g inches are wasteful. recommended as the finished dry thickness for so-called “two-inch” dimension, . Widths.—it is believed that the dressed widths of one-inch lum- ‘ber and two-inch dimensions should be the maximum obtainable under best manufacturing conditions. These are dressed widths of 3g inch scant on widths up to 7 inches and % inch scant on wider widths, and they should be the same nominal size for both one and two-inch lumber. Therefore these widths are recommended. Noted Manufacturer Joins Silent Majority P. B. Yates, founder of the P. B. Yates Machine Co, Beloit, Wis., Passed away recently in a Chicago hospital where he had been undergoing treatment for some weeks. Pneumonia, following a general break-down, was the cause of his death. Mr. Yates was 69 years of age, and the great industry which he built up is a credit to his genius, foresight and management. He began in a small way with only one model of machine and with a mechanical force of thirteen and a sales staff of one man. Today 1,200 persons are employed at the plant in Beloit, and 500 more at the Canadian factory in Hamilton, Ont. Mr. Yates was practically the sole owner of the business, and the only surviving member of his family is his daughter, Florence, now 15 years of age. The management of the P. B. Yates Machine Co., announce that the plant will continue operations in the manufacture of woodwork- ing machinery under the old policies without change. Death of Veteran Quebec Lumberman W. D. Brown who passed away recently at his home 262 Grande Allee, Quebec, was widely known in lumber circles, having been engaged for half a century in the business. He was one of the mem- bers of the firm of J. & W. D. Brown until about four years ago when after the death of his brother, the present company of W. D. Brown & Sons was formed. Mr. Brown was a man of integrity and candor, with a generous disposition and broad views. His wife predeceased him about twen- ty-five years and he is survived by his two sons, Collin and Fred Brown, both of whom are connected with their father’s business. The late Mr. Brown always took a great interest in military movements, having been a member of the Queen’s Own Hussars at the early age of 18. Possessing a predominant love for animals, especially horses, he received the appointment of Rough Riding Sargeant in the W.O.C.H. and later attained the rank of Major. — He was also a Fenian Raid veteran. Therefore, 15@ inches is This will be a connecting link be- ~ tween the friends of the organization and the workers, and also pro- vide helpful and interesting reading for the men in the camps and — isolated places. William Henderson, general superintendent of the ee scenes aia Coast Mills Kept Busy on Orders “Conditions at the Coast in the lumber trade are reasonably brisk. The mills are not now receiving a large volume of busi- ness from any one source but as the result of large orders ac- cepted early in the year, they find themselves fairly busy,” said A.S. Nicholson, of Terry-Nichol- son-Cates, Toronto, who recent- ly returned from an extended business trip to the Pacific Coast where he visited a large number of plants and conferred with the western representatives of the firm. Mr. Nicholson added that, unfortunately, these orders do not carry as high a price as re- cent bookings. ‘The mills, how- ever, are obligated and decline to accept new business in large volume until these obligations RelceeNcHolcon: ‘Toronto are completed or nearly so. ; Prices on new business will be governed entirely by the demand. In the course of further conversa- tion Mr. Nicholson stated that conditions at the Coast have changed considerably as the result of water shipments. It is estimated that 75% of the lumber is going from the Coast by water to the Orient and to the Southern Pacific Coast; some of course, to the Atlantic Coast, but not in any large quantity as yet. This places the tide- water mills in a more favorable position than the inland mills which are compelled to rely on rail shipments. In the Mountain district in the interior of B.C. where manufac- turing is conducted very much as here in the East, conditions have not materially changed. There will not be as much lumber produced in the Mountain district as heretofore because of the fact that dur- ing last year and the year before the mills were not able to get enough for their lumber to cover their cost. Some have to discon- tinue operating and others have been forced out of business. It is only the-mills that are very favorably situated so that their logging costs are low that have been able to survive. On the whole the manufacturers in B.C. have not a very en- couraging proposition, according to Mr. Nicholson. They have labor troubles such as are not known in the east. The I.W.W. is still a factor to contend with in the logging camps and is causing serious trouble at the present time which makes logging costs very high and hard to manage. On the other hand the nearest market of the Mountain mills—the Canadian Prairies—is sending them little or no business at present and it does not look as if there will be any prairie trade offering for some time to come. One would certainly have to be a great optimist not to admit that conditions in the Prairie pro- vinces, especially in the Southern part of the provinces, are bad. Insofar as British Columbia is concerned, business largely cen- tres in Vancouver and the prospect for local trade there is good, perhaps better than any other place in Canada, with the exception of the Eastern Cities. There will be a large volume of B.C. lumber and shingles shipped to Ontario this year, but it will consist prin- cipally of lines that do not come too closely in competition with stock produced in Northern Ontario and Quebec. Large Consignment in Car of Lumber The Columbia River Lumber Co., of Golden, B.C., shipped on March 24th last a car of stock. from Golden to Parkdale, Ont. It was an ordinary 36 foot box car, C.P. 205289 and contained 40,342 feet of lumber, comprising 4,395 feet of 1 x 6, No. 1 common cedar V. & C. V.25S., and 35,945 feet of 1 x 4, No. 1 common cedar, V. 2 S. This is a big load for an ordinary 36-foot car, and the Columbia River Lumber Co. are wondering if it does not nearly constitute a record cargo. The “Canada Lumberman” would like to hear of other heavy shipments and the material loaded, in order to see which concern wins the championship in the matter of car consignments. New Hardwood Plant is Kept Busy Since the saws started turning at the bidding of a 50 h.p. electric motor about two months ago the Star Flooring Co. located at 618 Brock Ave., Toronto, has not had a single idle hour. The new concern specializes exclusively in the production of carefully manu- -factured 3@” oak flooring and has a complete modern flooring unit. All the machines have recently been installed and are now running CANADA LUMBERMAN 35 at full capacity. They include the following: American flooring ma- chine installed by the American Woodworking Machinery Co., of Rochester, N.Y. This planes both surfaces and tongues and grooves at a speed of 60 ft. per minute. The remaining equipment was in- stalled by the Canada Machinery Corporation, of Galt, Ont., and includes an end matcher, a self feed resaw and two lightning cut off Saws. This equipment, in the hands of expert operators, is turning out 4,000 feet of finely matched oak flooring daily and the company is finding buyers as fast as the flooring is produced. Selling direct to the contractors, the Star Flooring Co. has a ready market for its product. : The firm has storage room in the basement and on the main floor for about two cars of rough material which is purchased, al- ready kiln dried. The personnel of the company includes four partners, F. EK. Harper, Sr., Earl Harper, Ralph Harper and A. E. Bazeley and all are actively employed in the business. New Name for Pembroke Industry Some time ago Bryant and May, the largest manufacturers of matches in the British Empire,. acquired control of the Canadian interests of Maguire, Paterson & Palmer, Pembroke. The company manufactures splints and matches. Now a change has been made in the name and the concern will in the future be known as the Cana- dian Splint & Lumber Co., Limited, George W. Paton, of London, England, is president of the com- pany, succeeding Sir Alex. Maguire; George Chahoon, president of the Laurentide Paper Co., Grand Mere, Que,, is vice- president. Wm. A. Fairburn, of New York, is managing-director and A. G. Wood- ruff, of Pembroke is-the secretary and general-manager. The direc- tors.are i A. Dunlop, D_ C.Snead, Sir Alex. Maguire and D/P; Maguire. Electric, Diesel and Steam Logging The increased use of electricity in logging in California can best be guaged by the statement that 20 electric engines will be working this summer. It is interesting to observe in the case of The Pacific Lumber Co. installation that instead of employing the usual two-speed shift on the yarders and loaders, the change is attained by substituting motors with variable speeds. The innova- tion is ‘being watched with interest. California offers an excellent opportunity for the employment of electric log haulage due to the close proximity of electric power lines to logging operations. Cost of electric power is less than either coal, wood or oil. The elimination of the need of providing a water supply line and the lessened fire hazard are two important factors in favor of electrically operated engines where commercial power companies are located so as to make power readily available. The upkeep of the electric motor should be less than that for steam boilers. The first cost of the electric donkey is greater than that of the steam engine, which must tbe reckoned in calculating depreciation. The electric logging engine has come to stay. Their use will increase as time goes forward. Progress is being made in the development of the Diesel engine with a view to adapting it to logging uses. If these claims can be successfully sustained, the Diesel engine may find a steady and increasing field in the logging industry. Steam has its advantages in resiliency and a command of reserve power. There is a place and a need for these three motive powers in logging and no single type possesses the combined advantages of all. Wholesale Lumbermen Hold Enjoyable Dance The dance which was held under the auspices of the Entertain- ment Committee of the Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association at the Metropolitan Assembly Rooms, College St., Toronto, on Friday April 27th was attended by about fifty couples and thoroughly en- joyed. Mitchell’s orchestra provided splendid music and the floor was in excellent shape. The evening was a delightful one through- out and an entertaining feature was some legerdemain feats per- formed by Tom Bowyer who recently gave an exhibition of his skill in this line before the wholesale lumbermen at their last regular meeting. The Entertainment Committee deserves every credit for the way in which the function was carried out, and arrangements are now being made for the annual picnic of the wholesalers which will likely be held at the Lake Shore Country Club during the end of June. L. D. Barclay is the energetic chairman of the Entertainment Commit- tee and the other members are,—A. Smith, R. S. Plant, J. R. Carter and J. F. Wachter.

For the purpose of encouraging reforestation throughout East- ern Ontario 300,000 pine seedlings are being planted at the farm of the Kemptville Agricultural School, to be available for distribution to farmers next year. Upon ground belonging to the farm which is unfit for cultivation, 13,000 small trees, including pine, walnut, butternut and soft maple, are also being planted in co-operation with the forestry branch. The New Way Flooring Company, Kitchener, Ont., is a new firm recently organized to lay, finish, and polish hardwood floors. Capital $40,000. Brewster Loud, of the Brewster Loud Lumber Co., Detroit, Mich.; was in Toronto recently calling upon the trade. Doolittle-Russell, Limited, builders’ supply yard, located on the People’s Brewery property at the north east end of Hamilton, Ont., are erecting a galvanized shed, a two car garage and a stucco Office. The A. E. Gordon Lumber Co. are now occupying their spacious rooms 1008-1009 in the new Federal Building, corner Richmond St. West and Sheppard St., Toronto. The Canadian General Lumber Co. have enlarged quarters at 1004-1005-1006 on the same floor. Other lumber concerns which will shortly move to this well-equipped office structure are:—R. C.

Maple trees, a commemorative gift to the province of Quebec, are to grow on the Canadian battlefields of France and Belgium. Ar- rangements have now been completed by Hon. Honore Mercier, minister of lands and forests, to forward in the fall, which is said to be the most suitable season for such shipments, a large quantity of plants coming from the provincial government in Berthierville, Que. : B. Lewis and L. Cuttle, of Belmont, N.S., have been operating in the Mt. Thom district, N. S. They have already cut quite a large quantity of lumber and have over a million feet yet to cut. Between forty-five and fifty million feet of logs are expected to be ‘handled by the Southwest Miramichi Log Driving Corporation this season, according to estimates given by J. W. Brankley, Chat- ham, N.B. Officers of the Southwest Miramichi Driving Company elected last week are,— President, J. W. Brankley, Chatham; secre- tary, R. W. McLellan, Fredericton; treasurer, W. P. Eaton, Chatham. Estimates from other sources recently placed the quantity of logs “likely to come out of the Northwest Miramichi this year at 35 million feet. J. A. Rowland, of the Sprague-Rowland Lumber Co., Winnipeg, is moving to Toronto where he will take up his permanent residence. His company is opening an office at 620 Federal Building and will specialize in Western white pine and factory materials. D. B. Sprague will remain in charge of the Western Canada end of the business. Mr. Rowland has been engaged in the lumber line for nearly twenty years and is well known to the trade in Ontario. Norman C. Hocken, of the Hocken Lumber Co., whose plant is located at West River, Ont., spent a few days in Toronto recently, and states that the mill has got off to a good start and will have an unusually large cut this season. The shingle mills at .Dalhousie, N.B., which have been closed down for the past two years, have reopened. Isaac Hale, who is a member of the W. Mark DeCew Lumber Co., Vancouver, B.C., who are specializing in Western white pine, was a caller upon the lumber trade in Toronto and other cities during the past few days. S. J. Staniforth, of the Fassett Lumber Co., Fassett, Que., spent a few days in Toronto lately on business. Charles O. Maus, of South Bend, Ind., was in Toronto lately and reports that the trade outlook is exceptionally good. William C. McDougall, manager of the 'win Falls Lumber Co., McDougall’s Mills, Ont., transacted business in Toronto during the last few days. R.-G. Chesbro has removed his lumber offices from the Bank of Hamilton Building, Toronto, to 619 new, Federal Building where he has much larger and more commodious quarters.

Woodman, district superinten- dent of the C.P.R., recently held a conference with several repre- sentative eastern lumbermen, all of whom approved of the idea and believe that something will come out of the proposition. Chief Scaler A. T. Murchie lately returned from an official tour of Restigouche County, N. B., where he conferred with all the scalers. He reports that the cut on Crown Lands in the county totals about 90,000,000 feet, which with the cut on granted lands, makes a grand total of about 125,000,000 feet. 1A new sawmill is in the course of erection at Trois Pistoles, Que. The building will be one storey of frame construction. N. Damours is the owner. 7 Fire caused $5,000 damage and destroyed the sawmill of Mendoza Julien at Barrante, Que., recently. The owner expects to rebuild. , Sash, door and planing mill operators of Ottawa were notified recently by the agent of the Inside Woodworkers local of the Dis- trict Council of Carpenters that bench hands and machine men will demand a 20 per cent increase in wages. Senneterre Lumber Co., Limited, Quebec, Que., is a new firm recently formed to manufacture and deal in all kinds of forest pro- ducts. Capital $20,000. J. R. Booth, Ltd., Ottawa, have started excavations for the erec- tion of a new turbine building. The structure is expected to be finished about July. York Mills Builders’ Supplies Co., Limited, Toronto, was re- cently incorporated to manufacture and deal in lumber, shingles poles, fence posts and other similar products. Capital $40,000. D. G. © Joy and W. Forsyth, are two of the incorporators. A large party of cruisers have been surveying limits in the Gatineau district, in connection with a project for building a large pulp and paper mill, in which English capital will be invested, should the plans go through. These include the development of a water power. The Minister of Lands and Forests for Ontario is calling for tenders for the right to cut timber in the township of Irish in the district of Algoma. q The first lumber shipments representing a million and a half feet out of Ottawa ports were made recently when five barges left with cargoes for Montreal and Burlington, Vermont. Part of the shipment was destined for England. J. C. Scofield, of Windsor, has been appointed chairman for the coming year of the Insurance and Workmen’s Compensation Com- mittee of the Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association, succeed- ing Walter C. Laidlaw, of Toronto, who has filled that positio for a number of years and recently resigned. q | | | | gl i ee ee ee leneneenen sno tal Montreal Lumber Conditions are Active and Firm What is the immediate course of the market? Will prices fur- ther advance, or may dealers expect a reaction? These are questions which many wholesalers and retailers are asking. The expressions of opinion differ considerably—and are, no doubt, colored by the tem- perament of each individual. Many believe that prices will even ad- vance until the new cut comes on to the market, and then we may look for a moderate set-back. On the other side, there are those of a more optimistic nature who venture the view that the new cut will have little or no influence on values, provided, of course, there is a fair demand. This type of dealer points out that the market is now almost bare of stock and that the new lumber will, therefore, only take care of ordinary requirements, not taking into account the pos- sibility of a strong call for building and industrial purposes. Some wholesalers have received several substantial orders for the new cut at very good prices. A percentage of retailers are holding their hands in the matter of buying. They have seen prices continually advancing but have not been inclined to take many risks. According to one large dealer, retailers as a rule are selling too low, that is, they are not asking prices which represent replacement values, and are, consequently, not taking the full advantage of a rising market. The market generally continues to be active and firm. Whole- salers state that the chief difficulty is to secure desirable stocks, and that the mills have very little on hand, in fact in some lines they cannot get supplies. There is promise of an excellent building season, provided the cost of supplies does not reach too high figures, and if the city and province does not lose many more skilled men to the States, lured there by the excessive wages paid under the stimulus of the boom. The permits taken out last month amounted to $6,913,572, as com- pared with $2,038,874, in the corresponding month last year.. The striking increase is explained by the fact that three permits each exceeded the million mark,—the new Court House of the Provincial Government, $2,364,000; a new apartment house, to be the largest in Canada, $1,350,000, and .a new office building, $1,000,000. For the first four months of the year the total was $9,720,000, as against $3,752,107 in the corresponding period in 1922. Some further ad- vances in wages have been made and there seems a disposition for employe~s and men to get together. The exports of pulpwood for March totalled 113,493 cords, valued at $983,436. For the fiscal year ended March 3lst, the total was 1,096,462 cords, of a value of $10,755,655, compared with 825,967 cords and $9,879,150, for the previous year. The consumption is going on at a great rate owing to the heavy demand for newsprint, and with the additions to paper mills and the contemplated new plants, this consumption is likely to be accelerated. New Prices at St. John Show Several Advances There is considerable fluctuating in the prices of lumber as a result of the heavy demand and the fact that unprecedented condi- tions prevailing may keep local saw mills from operating for some weeks. A new price list shows that small sizes of rough merchant- able spruce has advanced from the old quotation $28 to $33, while a corresponding increase is shown for dressed one edge. Dressed spruce on all four sides remains at $34, but sizes from 2x 6 to 4 x 6 shows an increase of four dollars. Sizes 2 x 9 to 7 x 7 advanced two dollars, while refuse boards, deals and scantlings advanced from $20 to $23. The great demand for laths continues and as a result the price has been steadily davancing until it is now $7.50. Very heavy orders are being filled here for points in the New England States and Long Island and recent sailings shows shipments of over six million. There is still a good demand for shingles, but the stock has been rapidly depleted and at present is nearly all cleaned up. How- ever, as soon as the mills resume operations all orders will be quickly attended to. One of the features of the advance in lumber prices may or may not be attributed to the fact that mill employes in St. John are holding out for an increase in wages. Last season a sixty cent per ¢ CANADA LUMBERMAN Ee ee Lumber Trade Conditions Reviewed AA] J CA Err are er DS SS DD co aN dn day cut went into effect and although an increase of ten per cent was offered it was not acceptable. If the men persist in holding out for increased wages the additional expense will have to be borne by the consumers as the margin on most lumber today is small and manufacturers would be unable to continue operations without a loss. Another cause for an advance may result from the tremendous loss of logs, which has resulted from flood conditions. Millions of feet have broken away from the booms and even if the majority are recovered their salvage will add to the original cost of operations. The overseas demand for lumber has fallen away off, but this is more than offset by the United States requisitions. The heavy demand for laths is undoubtedly due to the enormous building operations being carried on in the United States. If this continues it is expected that there will be a good demand for various sizes of lumber. The recent flood conditions, which have disrupted the operations of the C.P.R. and the Maine Central Railway has caused a set back to local shippers. They-have large orders to fill, but as there is no freight movement a tie up, at least temporary, has resulted. These orders will be rushed forward as soon as conditions return to normal. Mill owners along the St. John river front at Indiantown have to face an additional expense due to the abnormal freshet. Piles of lumber have been undermined by the rush of water and have toppled over and crews of men have been engaged keeping the man- ufactured product from floating away. When the tide recedes it will necessitate repiling which all adds to the overhead expenses. The mill owners have a considerable quantity of stock on hand, but from indications mills may not start for another month and if such is the case their supply, in some lines at least, will be greatly depleted. Lumber dealers when interviewed spoke optimistically on the conditions of the market at the present time. They pointed out that the call for some dimensions was so great that it was impossible to supply it. Spruce, they claim, is greatly in demand. The expense of getting logs out of the woods last winter was higher than anticipated. This was due to an exceptionally hard winter, excessive fall of snow, the price of labor, and feed for the horses. It is estimated that it cost from $1.50 to $2.00 per thousand more than was anticipated last fall. Recent reports received here says that the Boston market for dimension spruce is showing the vigor expected of it at this season of the year. There is a report current that one St. John dealer recently dis- posed of 1,500,000 feet of narrow random at $2 delivered on the Boston rate of freight less commission. The price for scantling from this province in the United States is quoted at $41. Conditions in Ontario Strong With Good Outlook Conditions in the lumber market remain about the same There is a quiet, hopeful tone pervading all ranks and some disposi- tion to look into the future and speculate on what will be the out- come when new dry stocks arrive on the market. Most sawmills are now under way for the season, having got off to a good start dur- ing the past few days. A number in Northern Ontario have not yet been able to commence cutting owing to the ice being rather slow to break up. There is an ample supply of men, it is reported at most milling points, and in some cases advances in wages have been granted from 10 to 15 per cent. Of course, the strength of the lumber market depends upon two factors, building operations and industrial activities Whether the extensive structural schedule which is being carried out in the larger centres both in Canada and the United States will extend beyond fall months, is problematical. Some authorities declare that energy will have spent itself by that time and the feverish demand, which has been existent for certain classes of lumber so that a shortage has been created in many widths and thicknesses, will have disappeared. The next month or two will tell the tale whether the present values in lumber will be maintained. During the last six months there has been an average increase of $6.00 per M in Jack pine; $6.00 to $8.00 in hemlock; $8.00 to $10.00 in spruce and from $5.00 CASAS SR eneoneN CANADA LUMBERMAN CURRENT LUMBER PRICES— WHOLESALE TORONTO White Pine (In Car Load Lots, F.O.B. cars Toronto) di 4//'7 Good esthipsmae cr $110.00 $115.00 1% & 1% x 4/7 Good Strips... 135.00 140.00 1 x 8 and up Good Sides 155.00 165.00 A xe LV) (Go@ul Swans @gadoeses 135.00 150.00 1% & 1%x8and wider Good Sides 185.00 190.00 2x 8 and wider Good Sides .. 195.00 210.00 1x 7 & up No. 1, 2 and 3 cuts 87.00 90.00 ae and 6/4 No. 1, 2 and 3 cuts 100.00 105.00 2 ils INO, i, 2 gach 3} CwuS oo ssc 115.00 120.00 iL s< 2) auch Sy GUN bitty so o's oar 55.00 60.00 jh is 7 9 and 11 Mill Run 55.00 60.00 HUAN CMNEMIID RUIN G cot hom eral heen 58.00 63.00 i se SHO MGI abet e gerne tones 60.00 65.00 i] se) TIS IMIS Roh Wemeaea ess olor ma 66.00 70.00 5/4 and 6/4 x 5 and up Mill Run 61.00 62.00 Pieced: MT 5. °.t c's Shee cee eee 56.00 60.00 OMarGus Niall) IRM. eho eemeeee alee et 58.00 62.00 Dees NTT: GRU) ees aeaene anaes. 59.00 63.00 Di se UGS WSU soporte oss 6 62.00 65.00 By SGOT Fl [ed Pe bree ricescg ncercic coe 67.00 71.00 il tre, IMAM Torre Satrones 2 acs oc 36.00 38.00 1 x 4 and up 6/16 No. 1 Mill Culls 36.00 38.00 1x 10 6/16 No. 1 Mill Culls .... 42.00 43.00 1 x 12 6/16 No. 1 Mill Culls. 42.00 43.00 1 x 4 and up 6/16 No. 2 Mill Culls 29.00 30.00 1 x 10 12 6/16 No. 2 Mill Culls .. 33.00 34.00 1x 4 & up 6/16 No. 3 Mill Culls 17.00 18.00 Red Pine (Rough) (In Car Load Lots, F.O.B.

There is quite a scarcity of 4 x 8 and 2 x 10 in 10 and 16-foot lengths of jack pine and hemlock. Many yards are out of odd sizes completely and are scouring the market for supplies, the lumber in some cases passing through three or four hands before the wants of the buyer can be met. During the present month retail yardmen are not buying heavily as they are pretty well stocked up. Pui- chasing is being done on a cautious basis, having in view the con- ditions prev ailing at the present the building situation, the new croD of lumber, augmented production and the trend of industrial affairs. -Itis reported that the demand in the New England States which has been the chief outlet for Canadian spruce and white pine during the past months at very firm prices, has shown some easing up of late. This does not, by any means, mean a depression in the market, but just now there is a disposition to proceed cautiously rather than feverishly, and, in case values should go down, there will not be the reaction and boomerang that there was in the fall of 1920 and the beginning of 1921. So far as B. C. forest products are concerned, timbers have been in fairly brisk demand. There has also been a call for 3-inch plank, especially in sizes 3 x 12 and 3 x 14 in long lengths. Transit cars of boards and shiplap are not in keen demand and some are being offered at sacrifice prices. There is very little demand for commons in the eastern market unless prices drop. The margin between On tario woods and Coast commons is in favor of the former, and, as a consequence, the eastern lumber merchant will not bring the latter in any large volume except, possibly, a consignment in mixed cars. The yard men in Western Ontario are pretty heavily stocked with forest products of all kinds at the present time, according to the latest information, but material is beginning to move and business is gradually getting better. It is declared that the Ontario farmer has not been securing prices for his product commensurate with their cost, and not a few yeomen have experienced difficulty in paying their bills. Collections have been rather slow. Several transit cars of western stock are offering all the time and it is thought that the demand for these will pick up now that the building season is going full blast. Some eastern representatives are pushing B. C. hemlock clears and making an effort to have this . wood used for interior trim. It is understood that one contractor will employ this material for finish work in some twenty or twenty- five houses which he has under way. In reference to operations in the Sudbury district, one leading lumberman stated recently that nearly all the mills were now run- ning although the ice had been very late in disappearing. There was high water at many points even if a great deal of rain had not fallen. Common labor, he reported, was quite plentiful but skilled labor and men for the drives were rather hard to procure. $2.50 a day and board was being paid for river men but there was a disposition on the part of some not to accept this figure, and wages might go higher. So far as ordinary help around the mill was concerned, 30 to 40 cents an hour was the rate, which was an increase of 10 to 15 per cent. over last year. Table board remains about the same as last season. Ottawa Trade Shows Some Slowing Up Conditions in the Ottawa lumber market during the opening period of May were only fairly satisfactory to lumbermen and wood- working plants, due to the late spring and the delay in the open- ing up of new building operations. The volume of trade both do- mestic and foreign was reported to be not as large as had been ex- pected. There was a fairly good volume of business carried on with the American yards during the closing part of April and the first few days of May, but the outlook in this direction was not as hopeful as it previously had been. The domestic trade was also slacker than what had been anticipated, and though new building as reflected by the building permits in April promised well, the actual start of sev- eral new projects was delayed on account of the lateness of the spring. Though the volume did not increase to any noticeable extent prices remained firm. The first shipments of lumber cargoes by water left Ottawa on May 4th., they being from the John R. Booth Company, Limited, and the Gatineau Company Limited. The ship- ments contained about one and one half million feet. That of the Booth Company was composed mostly of deals, which was consigned to the English market. The shipment from the Gatineau Co. Ltd., went to northern New York State. Conditions with the woodworking general change. union for higher wages, was not dealt with by the heads of the wood- working factories and plants. Most of the plants reported that their business was slow owing to the lateness of the spring, and that they felt they had lost a month or six weeks of usual good business. plants did not show much The request of the members of the woodworkers . Mr. Levie Speaks on Conditions Overseas ‘ John Levie, vice-president of Wo eee Sharples, Limited, who proceeded overseas to the ‘Unit- ed Kingdom at the end of last January to take observation of the lumber market, visit the firm’s agencies in the British Isles and dispose of lumber on behalf of the interest of his firm, return- ed to Quebec at the end of April, looking fine and -well pleased with the result of his trip. Mr. Levie is a modest man when it comes to an interview. Though reluctant to talk for publication, Mr. Levie admitted that, while conditions were not as yet near normal in the British Isles, on — account of the continued politi- cal atmosphere, the Ruhr diff- culty and the depreciation of exchange, he had succeeded in doing a better business than when he went abroad in 1922, and obtained better prices for the lumber he had disposed of. It would appear, however, from the latest reports received by — Quebec lumber firms both by mail and cable from their British — John Levie, Quebec, P.Q. ' agents, that a feeling of nervousness still prevails among the United ~ Kingdom purchasing interests who vie with each other in a spirit of cautiousness. It is, however, pointed out that April is a month of usually small doings in the timber trade and lumber line generally, but there is a strong hope that by the middle of May things will undertake a change for the better that will generate more life in business to merit confidence. Looking at the continent of Europe and at the political and economic conditions in the large wood-consuming countries, the export agents of the Canadian firms in England say they are at a loss to prognosticate how the lumber business will be affected. It is in the meantime, admitted in Great Britain that, in so far as the trade — with Canadian lumber interests are concerned, there are two formid- able factors to be removed, the settlement of the reparations ques- tion and lower ocean freight rates by the regular steamship lines. Although there is a strong desire on the part of the press and people of England to trade more generally and generously with the Domin- ions, there is no sentimentality in business when it comes to the price of the goods, and this applies to the Canadian lumber trade with Great Beene as it does in all other trade commodities. May Result in Renewal of Confidence In the present the wood imported by the British firms from Sweden and Finland is almost fifty per cent cheaper than the prices of Canadian wood, and it cannot be expected that the British im- porter will purchase his lumber exclusively from Canada under such existing circumstances. The British steamship companies in control of the ocean cargo rates are aware of these facts but, strengthened as they are ina combine, they will not listen to any reasonable argu- ment as long as they can obtain the cargoes shipped from ‘Canada, and do not or will not understand that by coming back to pre-war rates they could more than double their cargo carrying business in the St. Lawrence route. Expert banking economists, who have their vision constantly focussed on conditions, are agreed that if the France-German diffi- culty can ‘be settled in the next couple of months, as is indicated by a close study of the situation, it will result in a renewal of confidence among the financial interests, which is bound before many months will have passed, to bring about a reaction in interchange of trade and a commencement for the stabilization of exchange to insure a boom in European ‘business. In England where the Student of economy is centered and watching closely the France-German ques- tion, it is felt, with a marked degree of confidence, that Germany cannot much longer bear the economic strain placed upon her indus- trial resources in the Ruhr by the Allies, and sooner or later will have to forego her stubborn obstinacy and seek to open negotiations - with France and the Belgians, who, also in bondage by the economic strain on their resources, will welcome an approach for a prospective settlement. These few reflections, the outcome of methematical deductions — from the banking and other financial interests of Great Britain, go to show while the prospects are unsettled, they are not bad and that — there are good chances for the ‘Canadian lumber trade in the United © Kingdom during the summer. But there is nothing to show that the trade will bea safer one this year, or is it possible to foretell if there bh ey CANADA will be any possibility of the markets of Great Britain being re-estab- lished on a sound basis during 1923. The British Government, realizing that a psychological change was nearing to encourage and stabilize business in the United Kingdom, caused the Chancellor of the Exchequer to make a reduc- tion in the income tax. It was well reasoned wisdom to come to this conclusion, taking into consideration the depressed industry and the degeneration taking place among the working classes owing to the long period of non-employment and the receipt of government doles. New Lease of Life in House Building In the meantime according to reports, house-building has taken a new lease of life, and everything in this direction seems promising in the event of there being no strike brought on by the building trades, which is not likely as the employers in the trade are showing by amended proposals that they sincerely desire a settlement with the men, and the men’s unions have no funds to enter upon a pro- longed strike. This has naturally given courage to the timber trade interests, who up to the present have been very cautious but now are acting on the assumption that a stoppage of work in the building trade will not take place, and most firms are preparing for a busy -summer which they had not looked for up to the end of April. The latest report received by Canadian firms from their British agents in the beginning of May, were that the spruce market was beginning to show signs of new life, and while not large, quantities have changed hands at increased prices. As regards Ireland and a possible near settlement of the political difficulties in that unfortunate country, there are prospects in the near future for a really big busi- ness in that country which absorbs a considerable proportion of stocks from ‘Canada. Taking into consideration on the whole the situation from reports recently received from Canadian agents in England, and the viewpoints of discerning export economists, there is every reason to hope that the Canadian lumber trade will fare better in the Unit- ed Kingdom this year of 1923 than it did in 1922, which, no doubt, McLACHLIN BROTHERS LIMITED Yard LD, Ts |) Cut of.

Construction Continues to Break all Records very indication points to 1923 being the greatest of building years since the boom days of 1912 and 1913. ‘Contemplated work reported during April by MacLean Building Reports, Limited, Toronto, indicates a tremendous volume of new construction in prospect. The Dominion total for the first four months of 1922 amounts to $164,198,200, compared with $102,603,500 a year ago, an increase of 60 per cent. What proportion of this great volume of projected building will be proceeded with? The index of building costs continues to rise, and it would seem as though large building investors had determined to go ahead with construction in spite of increased cost. It is a grati- fying fact that the established policy of manufacturers in the build- ing field is to co-operate with buyers. Labor, as always, is subject to the basic control of supply and demand. In several of the trades shortage is anticipated. It is probable, however, that the average cost of labor will continue approximately on the basis of labor costs as in the spring of 1922, with some increases. It is clear that the demand for labor and material will be very great this year. The steel industry is sold up for four or five months ahead. Lumber stocks are not large. Under such conditions reduc- tions in prices cannot be expected. The concensus of opinion is that construction is as cheap today as it will be at any time during the next two or three years. Men who are figuring on building would better build now than to wait until later. During April construction contracts actually awarded in Canada amounted to $30,843,800, compared with $19,954,800 in March, and $29,428,400 in April, 1922. Residential building accounted for 38.2% of the April total, and amounted to $11,772, 100. Business building amounted to $9,324,900, or 30.2% ; industrial building, $1,176,600, or 3.8% ; public works and utilities, $8,570,200, or 27 8%.

Saurweain, Asst. Mgr. CANADA LUMBERMAN 63 Forestry Director Retires From Position R. H. Campbell, of Ottawa, who is director of forestry, has retired from that position after sixteen years’ successful ad- ministration. ‘The staff of the Fo estry Bianch, Department of Inte:ior recently tendered a fare- well supper to their chief. E. H. Finlayson, acting director of forestry, presided and spoke in the highest terms of Mr. Camp- bell’s service to the branch and his personal work. The guest of the evening was presented by the Dominion Forest Service with a large silver bowl, suit- ably inscribed,, and with a hand- some club bag on behalf of the staff who are resident in Ottawa. Mr. Campbell made a grateful reply, expressing appreciation of the many years’ delightful asso- ciation with his loyal staff. He ges bespoke their co-operation for 3 on ad . 5 - his successor, whoever he might be, and stressed the importance of forestry work. Mr. Campbell was born at Strathroy in 1867 and, entering the Department of the Interior when twenty years of age, rose steadily from post to post. Early realizing the importance of forestry, he devoted much attention to the study of that subject, especially as it related to Canada. He was one of the first members of the Canadian Forestry Association which was formed in 1900, and was elected assistant secretary and treasurer. In 1907, on the re- signation of E. Stewart, now of Toronto, who was the first superin- tendent, Mr. Campbell was appointed superintendent of forestry, a title subsequently changed to director of forestry. By hard work through subsequent years he succeeded in building up his branch. The organization of the forest reserves has also been brought to a high state of efficiency, and the task of protecting the forests from fire—both inside and outside of the reserves—has been under- taken to a degree unthought of a few years ago. R. H. Campbell, Ottawa, Director of Forestry New Plant of Mr. McKee in Operation The new plant of W. J. McKee, at Windsor, Ont., which was opened recently, is one of the many indications of the healthy growth of the Border Cities. Carrying on a general retail lumber business and planing mill, W. J. McKee found that yard and mill expansion was necessary to keep in step with the expansion of business in the Windsor district. The McKee site is, at 133 Salter Avenue, Wind- sor, and covers 3 1/3 acres bordering on the main line of the Can- adian Pacific Railway. The mill and lumber sheds are advantageously located, both be- ing in the same building. The factory proper is a commodious structure, the dimensions being 100 x 275 feet, one storey, and of solid brick construction. A feature of the layout is the 20-foot con- crete driveway which runs from end to end of the mill, passing through the dressed storage department for lumber, mouldings, doors, etc. The west side of the edifice is occupied by the mill, boiler room, shaving bins and rough finish storage. In the laying out of buildings and yards there are many prob- lems to engage the minds of executives. One of the most, impor- _ tant and to which is often given too little thought is the handling of the materials. W. J. McKee, however, has, apparently, given this part of the business considerable attention. On the east side of the mill there are thirteen doors and a railway spur running para- — Ilel with the building which greatly facilitates unloading. . The mill is exceptionally well lighted, having besides the usual side light, additional brightness by the presence of skylights. The machinery and equipment is new and modern and the entire build- i ing and contents are protected against fire by a Grinnell sprinkler _ system. Historic Planing Mill Changes Hands The Independent Coal Co., of Ottawa; recently purchased the Buckingham Planing Mill Co., at Buckingham, Que. The charter of The Buckingham Planing Mill Co. dates from about the year _ 1866, the mill and offices of the company at that time and for many years subsequently being at Masson, Que. _ The business seems to have been conducted so economically at Masson that rumor credits the company with paying regular divi- dends from an accumulated surplus for some time after regular operations were suspended. Some twelve years ago The Parker Planing Mill Co., of Buckingham, then in operation about eight or nine years, took over at an upset price the stock and effects of The Buckingham Planing Mills Co., and the companies were amalgam- ated, business from the time of the taking over of the Masson Com- pany being conducted under the name and charter of The Bucking- ham Planing Mill Company, Limited. Four or five years ago the Buckingham Planing Mill Company added a sawmill to the plant, which is included in the sale to The Independent Coal Co. Completing Detailed Cruise for Arnprior Firm The James: W. Sewall timber cruising organization of Old Town, Maine and Washington, D. C., is completing the final office work on a detailed cruise and estimates of some 1,000,000 acres of land belonging to McLachlin Brothers, Ltd., of Arnprior, Ontario. The work has taken upwards of 2 years, and has been ver: thorough and complete. All boundary lines of the various p-o- perties have been re-surveyed, and new interior lines for purposes of mapping control run parallel with each other at 2-mile inte. vals. Cruisers have gridironed the property between these control lines, travelling at close intervals, mapping the country and estimating the timber. The results of the survey and exploration have been systemati- cally set forth on standarized sheets and maps, filed with the owners at Arnprior. The system is so thorough that any location on which information is wanted, may be turned to in two minutes, and the maps thereof, as well as_ the estimates of timber and local report, be on the executives desk immediately. What Pulpwood Supply Really Means “One of the market features that is keeping the publisher on his toes today is the ascending price of newsprint,” reads a statement recently issued by the Natural Resources Department, Ottawa. “Pulpwood is by far the most important of the raw material enter- ing into the manufacture of newsprint. To secure pulpwood the mills have to go farther away every year. While the annual cut of pulpwood has grown to enormous dimensions, amounting in 1920 to over four million cords, forest fires are devastating more of our forest areas to a far greater extent. This year the forest fire hazard will undoubtedly be severe, and every citizen should recognize his personal responsibility, and do all he can to save the forests for labor-employing industries.” Will Clear Burned Abitibi Timber Lots It is learned that 15 acres of land on each of a number of burn- ed timber lots are to be cleared this season in the Abitibi region by the Quebec Provincial Government. It is also understood that, in accordance with the policy inaugurated in some sections of the pro- vince, small houses for the use of settlers will also be erected. With this announcement comes one to the effect that a dis- tribution of grain seeds will be made for the benefit of poor settlers by the Department of Colonization in the course of next summer. These seeds will be given to settlers whose crops were damaged last year. Tree Re-planting Operations are Costly Some thought has been given by Canadian provinces to the subject of the re-planting of the forests. It is an expensive proposi- tion. It costs $20 an acre to plant a forest and at the end of sixty years, when merchantable timber has been grown from the seedlings, the cost per acre with compound interest added, has mounted into a large total. That is why it is so hard to arouse public interest in re-forestation work. An important question comes up as to whether the costs of such work by the provinces can rightly be charged to current revenue—revenue from stumpage fees, etc., or if it should be charged as a capital investment. Single Seated Planes for Forest Control In the patrol of the forests for purposes of fire prevention by the Canadian Air Force during the present season, the method to be em- ployed involves patrol by single-seaters, instead of using large ma- chines. Furnished with a wireless apparatus, once a fire is discoy- ered, instant communication may be had with the base, from which a large machine carrying men and fire fighting gear can proceed to the scene. The new method will be much more economical. 64 ae a CANADA ‘LUMBER MAN pee A Good Sign The increasing number of firms engaged in the lumber trade who come to us for their camp supplies year after year is a sure indication of our ability to serve.

Toward the end of April transportation from the base of supplies to the American mills began to improve and’ up to the second week of May the shippers had little difficulty in comparison with previous months to obtain all the railway rolling stock necessary for the delivery service to carry out the completion of their contracts with the American mill interests. As a consequence part of the pulpwood for sale in the Quebec market has been disposed of and being shipped to the United States buyers. These transportation conditions also apply to the ship- ment of some lumber from the Quebec mills to the United States, and it is expected that by the middle of May, all orders which had been booked by the Quebec lumber mill interests, will have been forwarded to their American purchasers. In the meantime the Quebec mill interests are daily receiving orders from the American market and the demand is growing in keeping with the boom in the United States, which is sending the prices over the southern boundary sky high. Just how long this boom and inflation in the United States will last, is a question watched with a great deal of interest by the Canadian lumber trade. Many are of the opinion that it cannot last more than another six months, when there will come an unpleasant downward trend, fol- lowed by a regular slump. This, economic experts say, cannot be avoided on account of the startling rise in the price of lumber and building material generally, not to speak of the demands being made by mechanical and common labor. The latter aggressive demand is causing the investors much concern and now capital is beginning to cry out in alarm against the arrogance of labor and the day is not far distant when there will be a revolt of capital against labor. In the meantime, labor is going ahead with its increased demand and if something is not soon done to curb the aggression, capital will be- come paralized and unable to function. Capitalistic interests, discerning the situation, while anxious to put an end to these conditions of strangulation, seem to have no remedy to offer. They realize that by constantly giving in to the exactions of labor, they are building up a spirit of revolution. and still cannot get together to perfect an organization by co-operation to fight the impending evil until it is too late. Spruce Falls Co. Took Out Much Wood The Spruce Falls Co., of Kapuskasing, Ont., during the past sea- ~ son took out 75,000 cords of wood, about 35,000 cords of which are now on the river bank at the company’s plant. The balance will be brought down in the drives as the streams open up. All the digesters of the plant have been running practically to capacity since the early part of December. The output is over 100 tons of un- bleached sulphite pulp daily. The Spruce Falls Co. have built during the past year at Kapus- kasing 59 houses and contemplate building as many more this year. The new Hydro plant which the Spruce Falls Co. are constructing on the river bank adjacent to the sulphite plant, has been completed and will be put in operation in a few days. | : a ee Operating Position of Riordon Company General opinion is that the prospects of putting the Riordon i Company, Montreal, back into strong operating position are very 1 good, but it is said there will be little in the reorganization for the _ former preferred and common shareholders. Most of these have given up hope of getting any substantial benefit out of the reorgan- ization. ‘The rights to subscribe for new stock in the new company termined. — It is stated that the 6 per cent. bondholders will be well pro- tected but that the holders of the 6 per cent. bonds of the Riordon Company will get something in the nature of a second preferred stock. Ranking ahead of this, it is said, will be about $10,000,000 f first preferred stock which, it is planned, will be offered to present that are likely to be given, will have a value that is yet to be de- LUMBERMAN 65 ONT SA | tel ae i A::: Ee pri ‘i | 144) BB ay: i] aa ee “ail "D1 Tt eae Cevveryereryrrrrrryyy ss sit nomen 0000000 IRMIARISAIIB > eo oo oo fle stockholders for subscription, although the public as a general pub- lic also may be invited to come in. The company has sold a number of its timber limits, chiefly out- lying hardwood properties that were not of particular value to a pulp and paper company and this has added considerably to the liquid resources of the company, all facilitating the progress of reorganiza- tion. Whalen Company’s Plants are Busy The Whalen Pulp & Paper Co. of Vancouver, who operate mills at Howe Sound, Swanson Bay and Port Alice, B. C., and of which Hon. T. W. McGarry, of Toronto, is president, is today finding a ready market for its output of easy bleaching and bleached sulphite pulp. Business generally on the Pacific Coast province is in good condition and the company is sharing in the general betterment. At the present time the Whalen Company is shipping about 350,000 shingles a day to the United States market. Its sawmill is operating and lumber is being shipped to Japan and China, while a market is available for all the sulphite pulp. The company retired $250,000 of its serial bonds due May Ist, and at the same time fully provided for all interest on its bond and debentures for the half year ending upon that date. Since 1920 the company has returned to holders of serial bonds $500,000 in all. During the adjustment period of 1921 the Whalen Pulp experienced all the diffculties incident to that buying time, but throughout maintained its interest payments in full, Another New Paper Mill for Quebec A new paper company has been formed known as the Western Quebec Paper Mills, Limited. The plant will be located in St. Andrews, Que., on the North river. The company will manufacture tissue papers and other special lines and will gradually increase its output as business warrants. The Western Quebec Paper Mills will do their financing through a first mortgage bond issue, bearing 6% per cent. interest and matur- ing in 25 years. A unique feature of this issue will be the fact that the principal will be insured with a prominent Canadian insurance company which will guarantee the payment thereof to the bondhold- ers. While the company has authorized an issue of $1,000,000, only $225,000 will be issued presently—the balance of $775,000 can only be issued to the extent of 66 2/3 per cent. of any capital expenditures in the future. New Company Contracts for Pulpwood The Buskegan River Pulp & Lumber ‘Co., have been organized with headquarters at Cochrane, Ont. J. A. Legris, of Haileybury, H. Fontaine and J. B. Moncion, of Cochrane, are the directors. The company have begun the construction of a rossing plant and have signed up contracts for 15,000 cords of sap peeled spruce and 1,000 cords of poplar for delivery this summer and are figuring on getting 3,000 more cords of spruce rossed before December next. Western Pulp Plant May Resume It is learned that the Western Canada Pulp & Paper Co., whose mills are at Port Mellon, B. C., and have a capacity of about fifty tons of kraft pulp daily, are being reorganized and may resume activi- ties in the near future. Two companies have ‘been formed to take over the assets of the concern; the Howe Sound Pulp & Paper Co., will have control of the mill, which is about twelve miles from Squamish and may eventually be fed by power from the bridge River Power Company’s new plant. The timber limits on the north end of Vancouver Island have been taken over by the Port McNeill Timber Co., Limited. It is believed that if negotiations are conclud- ed in Toronto and New York soon, and the, market price for kraft pulp and paper picks up, the plant of the Western Canada Company will get under way in the not far distant future, PCr ee 66 CANADA LUMBERMAN SPRUCE, rough or dressed LATH AND SHINGLES We have facilities for kiln drying THE EAGLE LUMBER CO.

Roushome Bros., Bala, have secured the contract for sash, doors and interior trim in the building. British Columbia’s timber industry is receiving a decided impetus in West Africa where millions of feet of timber from that province are being utilized in the bridge work and railway construction now going on along the Gold Coast where Stewart and McDonald, well- known Canadian contractors and railway builders, are constructing _ one of the largest harbors in the world at ‘Taharodi. The Civic Beautification Committee of the Chamber of Com- merce, Hamilton, has inaugurated a memorial driveway with an ave- nue of elms five miles long.

Sir John is now 82 years of age and Mr. Brown is in his 98th year. Timber cruising in the Algoma district will start later this year than usual and will not be under way till toward the end of May. A. H. Huckson, Crown Timber Agent, of Sault Ste. Marie, is in charge of the men in the work of cruising. Extensive work will be done on the Mississauga forest reserve and townships to the north as well as along the line of the Algoma Central Railway. During the past few days fire rangers have been despatched to many points _ in the Algoma and Sault division to take up their work at the differ- ent stations. The International Land & Lumber Co., whose limits and mills . are at St. Felicien, Que., state that they will be running to full capa- city during the coming season, turning out a contract for ties with much jack pine and spruce lumber as possible. So far as they can the Canadian National Railways and at the same time getting out as judge, the company say that prices will be from 10 to 12 per cent higher than last year as there is quite a good demand for lumber in that district, principally for the two large dams which are being constructed at present. ‘The season for operation is rather later this year than usual owing to the recent severe winter, CANADA LUMBERMAN 67 The C.

Newsy Briefs from the Busy East Flood conditions in New Brunswick will result in the loss of ~ thousands of dollars to lumbermen. ‘The unprecedented high wa- ter as a result of heavy rains and the usual spring freshet frustrated every effort on the party of operators to protect their winter cut and from all over the province come reports of booms giving way and millions of feet of logs being carried off with the onrushing waters. Every available means, at the time of writing, is being resorted to in an effort to salvage the logs, and large crews of men with tugs, motor boats and equipment are being rushed to advantageous places ' and points along the rivers to collect floating logs. Despite these efforts it is estimated that many thousands of logs “will be lost. The freshet has also created havoc in mill yards about St. John, _ large piles of manufactured product being undermined and toppled over and booms had to be strung to keep it from drifting away. Murray & Gregory’s mill was flooded as were other mills along the river front. While the freshet is partly responsible for the delay in opening ' the mills there was'another factor, which was more instrumental in | holding back the resumption of operations. Last year the employes Were cut down sixty cents a day and this year the men were bent _ on recovering this amount. ‘They were offered ten per cent increase, _ but held out for twenty cents. While a settlement was pending the _ freshet stepped in and up to the time of writing is reigning supreme. The outcome of the question will not be known until conditions are gether and effecting a settlement. Reports received prior to the flood were favorable with regards to the lumber drives. The Greer brook drive for Fraser Companies bettered and the owners and employes have a chance of getting to-- LUMBERMAN 69 Ltd., was brought out safely recently. Conditions on the Nashwaak river were reported favorable a few days ago. The Nashwaak Pulp & Paper Company had crews of men out making preparations for their driving. They sealed the river at Penniac and at the mouth shear ‘booms were placed for the run of logs. A start was made a few days ago on Arnold Brook. A report from the Nashwaak said that the Fraser Companies, Limited, drive was well under way. It is estimated that it will aggregate 11,700,000 feet. A drive was also reported moving on the Yoho river and is said to be that of the Fraser Company. A report from the Keswick said that the E. Burtt Lumber Company drive of 6,000,000 was moving along satisfactorily. The total cut of logs in New Brunswick during the past winter is estimated at 400,000,000 feet. This includes a cut of 210,000,000 feet from the Crown lands. ‘The severe winter and heavy snows caused the loggers to slow up in the southern part of the province, and in some cases the men had to discontinue operations and return to their homes. This condition increased the expense of the logging. A law suit which has been attracting considerable attention throughout the province was that involving the ownership of stand- ing timber on certain lands in the parish of Hopewell now in posses- sion of Mrs. Mary A. Hawkes, these lands being a portion of a farm purchased by Mrs. Hawkes from Frank B. Woodworth. It appears that the firm of W. H. Duffy and Sons, Limited, of Hillsboro, held a lease of the land, having bought the timber on the same from Mr. Woodworth, and proceeded to cut on that area during the winter although forbidden to do so by the plaintiffs. Their contention be- ing that there was no encumberance against the property when they bought it, as shown by the records. The suit is attracting consider- able attention among lumbermen and others. Recently when a proclamation was issued in the Royal Gazette announcing that all forest land in New Brunswick had been pro- claimed ‘“‘a protected area” and that commencing on May 1 and ex- tending over a period to November | all persons entering the forests for the purpose of travelling, camping, fishing or picnicing must re- gister, it was suggested that because of the extended winter con- ditions and the late spring the regulations might not be enforced un- til a later date. However, information recently received by the Forest Service Branch of the Department of Lands and Mines from representatives in various parts of the province indicated that, in many sections, the woods were already becoming dry and that the forest fire hazard in already imminent. These reports caused offi- cials to rush along preparations for the introduction of the new regu- lations and from now on all persons who are found in the woods’ without the necessary certificate of registration will be subject to penalties ranging from $10 to $100. The only persons, who are ex- empt from the provisions of the new regulations, are licensees and owners of lands entered upon, their employes, fire wardens, fire fighters, land surveyors, holders of licenses for hunting, fishing or mining, registered guides and persons accompanied by registered guides. The name of the applicant, the route, destination, purpose and duration of trip, together with dates, will be required for re- gistration purposes before certificates can be issued. Literature is now in circulation warning citizens that ‘‘forest fires burn the future.” In the circulars it is pointed out that every fire, that burns in the forests, is detrimental to the progress of civil-. ization and that in destroying the forests it is not only a question of damaging the present, but literally burning up the future. An effort is being “made to impress these important facts upon the minds of all, but. in particular of the rising generation. Late reports from over the province of New Brunswick say that five million feet of logs were carried down the main Restigouche . River on May 3 and passed under the ice at Campbellton. Minister Urges Farmers to Plant Trees Hon. H. Mercier, Minister of Lands and Forests for Quebec, recently stated that there were vast areas of cleared lands in the province which unfit for farming, are going to waste in the pro- vince. In most cases the farmers had cleared off the trees and, after trying to cultivate the land unsuccessfully, had abandoned it with the result that every year thousands of acres are sold for un- paid taxes. Mr. Mercier added that this waste land totals more than O00 acres, which if planted in spruce, pine and other woods, would produce forests of timber and lumber for the farmers. It would, of course, take about 30 to 40 years to get the first crop of wood but thereafter these forests would yield 750,000 cords of wood a year. Saplings could be secured at the Government nursery at Berthier at a low cost. They are advised to plant a few acres of the waste land 1 Arbor Day and thus enhance the value of their farms while they would also give invaluable assistance in a work of national con- servation, 3,000,- va Tugs for Logging, Raft Towing, large power, all sizes.

Gardiner Logging Co. at operations. Mr. Gardiner was caught between two logs which broke three of his ribs. The Markin Lumber & Pole Company who control five mills on the Great Northern Railway, North of Nelson, B.C., employ about 500 men in the manufacture of poles. At present three of these mills are leased to Doukhobors, who will cut about 10,000,000 feet — of lumber and between 50,000 and 60,000 poles. _ Keenan Bros., of Owen Sound, Ont., have started up Miheis new sawmill for the season and have arranged for the largest cut of hardwood they have had in some years. The cut of pine of the firm will be lighter than usual. Keenan Bros. look forward to an excep- — tionally busy season in the lumber line. q Plans are being prepared for a larger and more modern mill to be erected on the site of the old one at South Vancouver, which was destroyed by fire some time ago. The mill belonged to the Dominion Creosoting & Lumber Co. and rebuilding will be shortly carried out on the North Arm site. The extensions to the plant of the Dryden Paper Co., at Dryden, Ont., have been completed, including power development at Wain- wright Falls. The capacity of the plant will be 75 tons of sulphate pulp daily. Two-thirds of the production will go into wrapping paper and sulphate building paper. The Green Lumber Co., of St. Thomas, Ont., has been awarded ~ the contract for erecting a new clubhouse on the recently-acquired property of the St. Thomas Golf and Country Club. The location is about five miles south of St. Thomas and the building now in course of construction will cost about $20,000. ‘The Hope Lumber Co., Limited, are erecting a large and thou oughly modern sawmill at Little Current, Ont., which will have a capacity of 160,000 feet of lumber in ten hours. It is expected that the new plant will start sawing about June Ist. Roger Barber is the’ superintendent, and a very busy season is anticipated. It was stated some time ago that the Provincial Paper Mills, Limited, of Toronto, intended erecting a soda pulp plant in Port Arthur. The object of the plant will be to convert poplar into wood pulp. While the project has been under consideration for some time, no definite conclusion has been reached. f At Woodstock, N.B., the rising floods did great damage recently, Meduxnekeag’s Creek going on the rampage. The loss was very heavy and the power company’s dam was swept away. The Smith Lumber Co. sustained a loss of about $25,000 but were successful in saving their horses from the barn. It is understood that there will be an enlargement in the near future to the plant of the Westminster Paper Mills, New West- minster, B.C., in order to cope with increasing business. About half a million dollars has already been invested by the company in the project. : A number of farmers in Clarke township, Durham County, Ont., are taking advantage of the Provincial Forestry Nursery’s distribu- tion of pine transplants and are replanting their waste land. One farmer set out 1,500 jack pines on a 60-acre farm and it is said that another farmer will plant 2,000. President W. H. Schuette, of the National American Wholesale Lumber Association, New York City, has completed his appointment of standing committees for the current year. H. J. Terry, of To- ronto, has been made a member of the Board of Managers of the Bureau of Information. The Mageau Lumber Co. have begun operations in their new mill at Field, Ont., which replaces the one destroyed by fire some time ago. The plant will be operated night and day and it is ex- pected that the output will be from 100,000 to 120,000 feet daily. The company have an unusually large number of logs which will be cut up into lumber. A despatch from Nelson, N.B., states that four sawmills were running there during the latter part of April, all engaged in cutting lumber for the American market. One of the mills was sawing logs and the others were resawing cut lumber. It was something new on the Miramichi River to have plants running and the ice not out of the stream. P. T. Dodge, of New York, president of the International Paper Co., was in New Brunswick recently on a visit and conferred with Premier Veniot in an attempt to convert the Government to the plan of allowing the International Paper Co. a renewal of the waterpower right at Grand Falls. The New Brunswick Government has already contracted for the sale of $1,000,000 in bonds and will start pre- liminary work on the Hydro-Electric station at Grand Falls. The last week in April was proclaimed by the Federal Govern- ment as “Save-the-Forest Week.’ ‘The federal powers are recogniz- ing more and more the importance of the forests in the foreign and domestic trade of Canada. The propaganda for conservation is securing to an appreciable extent larger attention and greater inter- est from business men who are rapidly realizing the necessity of pro- tecting the remaining timber and pulpwood of the Dominion. A iecent despatch from Sault Ste. Marie said that unless rain came, the pulpwood dealers and lumbermen would have trouble float- ing their logs down the streams in various sections of Algoma. In the face of the fact that the district had more snow by a great deal than usual during the winter and in spite of late thaws, the streams had not risen to the height usually reached in the spring. ‘The dry- ness of the ground last fall and the fact that there was little or no frost during the winter, accounts for this. The lumber industry figured in the representations made by the deputation of prominent men from the Maritime Provinces who waited on Sir Henry ‘Thornton in Montreal, in reference to the divi- sional border line of the Canadian National Railways. The main question involved is that of freights, and Premier Veniot, of New Brunswick, urged the lowering of rates. He added:—‘The shortage of railway freight cars played havoc with our lumber exports. When the prices of lumber were well up, the maritime merchants were left with their product because there was no means of sending it away.” W. F. V. Atkinson, forest engineer, of Toronto. left recently for Eastern Quebec where he has taken an important position in the pulpwood department, and will carry out a number of improvements in connection with the operations of the St. Regis Paper Co. of Can- ada, Limited, on the Godbout river, near Matane, Que. The St. Regis Company are contracting for and purchasing many thousand cords of pulpwood which will be shipped to their various plants on the other side of the line. Mr. Atkinson will have charge of the _ Operations and also the erection of a dock at the mouth of the Godbout river, the construction of booms and other improvements for facilitating shipments. * P. G. Mahoney Lumber Co., of Calhoun, Dorchester County, N.B., was recently granted a charter to take over the business of P. G. Mahoney, and manufacture and deal in forest products. ‘The officers of the new organization are,—President, F. B. Mahoney; vice-president, H. M. Wood; treasurer, G. P. Mahoney; secretary, Miss G. Mahoney. The company states that it does not contemplate any marked extension in its plant at the present time though it ex- pects to operate on a somewhat larger scale than for the past few years. The company is handling spruce almost entirely, with a small percentage of pine and hardwood. CANADA LUMBERMAN - 71 The Otis Staples Lumber Co., Ltd. Wycliffe, B. C.

Good Profits Earned by Price Bros The annual report of Price Bros. & ‘Co., Limited ,of Quebec, for the fiscal year from March Ist 1922 to February 28th 1923, has been issued. The report shows that the profits for the year were $2,338,933.64 and to this sum is added $341,346.81, the balance brought forward from the previous period, thus making a total of $2,680,280.45. From this amount was deduc- ted a sum of $1,973,736.23, leav- ing a net balance to be carried forward of $708,544.22. The de- ductions made from the profits of 1922 and the balance brought forward form the previous year are as follows:—Bond interest and sinking fund requirements, $419,976.47 ; allowance for depre- ciation of the company’s proper- ties and depletion of timber limits, $700,095.76; distribution among shareholders of dividends totalling two per cent., $853,664. Fighting the Insect and Fungus Growth An interesting statement was recently made in the House of Commons at Ottawa, by Hon. W. R. Motherwell, Minister of Agriculture, in reference to what the authorities are doing in order to save ‘Canada’s forests. Mr. Motherwell said that the Govy- ernment had considerable infor- mation on the subject which had been collected by the Division of Forests Insects of the Entomo- logical Branch, and by the Divi- ion of Botany of the Experi- mental Farm of the Department of Agrieulture, in co-operation with the Dominion Forestry ~ w Branch of the Department of the Interior, and ‘the various provin- cial forest administrations. The Government’ was fully aware that considerably more work should be done, and was ever ready to give careful con- sideration to representations made by the industries concern- ed in order to assist in the re- moval of the serious causes of losses to the forest resources. Special investigation had been made in regard to the dying hal- sam and spruce in Eastern Can- ada and a scheme of co-opera- tion is contemplated between the owners of some timber limits and the Division of Botany whereby the services of trained forest pa- thologists will be available for the study of various diseases affecting balsam and spruce in the eastern districts. Will Zealously Guard Forests Against Fires The Department of Lands and Forests in Quebec is very active at the present time and Hon. H. Mercier, is losing no opportuni- ty to emphasize the importance of the forest as the principal asset of the province. He states that the number of forest fires in 1922 exceeded those of 1921 by almost 50 per cent, because last year there were two fire seasons one in the spring and the other in the fall. The area of forest land swept by fire in 1922 amounted to 740,000 acres as compared with 800,000 acres in 1921. Although the year 1922 had two fire seasons the losses were not so great as those of the previous year.

The advantages of being able to reach a known prospective buyer through a publication he uses in his business cannot be over-estimated. obtained through - ; CANADA LUMBERMAN 85 bi : : ese ged Ms hs eae Nera Linn Logging Tractor on the operation of The Power Lumber Co. Ltd., of St. Pacome, Que., (at L’Esperance) THE LINN LOGGING TRACTOR | | -Mr. W. Gerard Power, President of The Power Lumber Co. Limited, has perhaps, the greatest experience in Tractor haulage of any operator in Canada—and as the result | of his broad experience, he became satisfied that there was but one Logging Tractor, -and that was the Linn Logging Tractor. As the result of this decision he installed a Linn Logging Tractor at his company’s operation at L’Esperance Quebec, this winter, and the results that he obtained fully justified his decision. The operation of the Power Lumber Company Limited, at L’Esperance was probably one of the most difficult in either Ontario or Quebec—the haul was ten miles in length —against the grain of the country—with six or seven steep up-grades varying from six to twelve per cent—the roads were snow roads, and in many cases, so rough was the weather, that it was almost impossible for the operator to see the road because of the drifting snow. Yet every stick of their wood was brought out. This is the fourth of a series of photographs which is appearing in this journal illus- trative of Linn efficiency—The fifth will appear in the June first issue. “‘Ask the logger who uses one”’ —Logging Department— MUSSENS LIMITED Philips Place Building ' Montreal 86 CANADA LUMBERMAN TENTS We make all kinds CLOTHING J+ G-H-G Clothing | and styles of Tents, means complete satis- | Tarpaulins, Packsacks errors 2 faction. and Dunnage Bags.

(Continued on page 128) Montreal, Canada | CANADA LUMBERMAN 91 This great Machine—Yates No. 91—undoubtedly is the world’s standard fast feed, high powered big production planer and matcher The most significant testimony to its supremacy among matchers is shown by the fact that today there are in operation more Yates 91’s thanany other make of this type machine. Yates No. 91 is chain driven. Hence the machine is quiet ° and smooth-running and power is delivered to the feed rolls evenly. Upkeep of a chain driven machine is exceedingly small as compared with those gear driven. Chains are lub- ricated automatically. Feed works are exceptionally powerful. Heads used are of the Six knife round type and are fitted with our patent- ed slip-proof gib which prevents knives slipping while the bolts are being tightened. These are some of the features of Yates No. 91 Planer and Matcher. Upon request we will send you copy of our Planer and Matcher book, which outlines this machine fully. .

LIMITED, VANCOUVER, B.C. 701 Excelsior Life Bldg., Toronto 32 CANADA. LUMBERMAN BUY BRITISH COLUMBIA Red Cedar Shingles The life of a British Columbia Red Cedar Shingle Roof can almost be gauged by the life of the nail with which the shingle is nailed in place. Judging from available data, the average life of the ordinary steel wire nail, which has been in such common use, is only from seven to twelve years. Some wire nails will last longer, depending upon the condition of exposure, climate and similar features, but considering our climate as a whole, at the end of from seven to twelve years a large percentage of wire nails will have rusted either completely through or so extensively that the first strong wind will complete the work. The shingles that have been held in position by such nails are then free to work down, permitting rains or melting snows to leak through and damage the interior of the structure. Examination will disclose that the fibre of the shingle itself is still in perfect condition, and a leaky roof, in the majority of occasions is due entirely to the use of faulty nails, but the average home owner, placed at such inconvenience, will not stop to reason this out and the poor wooden shingle~comes in for more unjust abuse. There are several kinds of nails which experience’ has proven will give lasting satisfaction, and the wise dealer will advise his customers of these satisfactory nails. A pure zinc shingle nail meets all the demands of durability required. Its principal drawback is its high cost and a slight tendency to bend under careless driving. Galvanized wire nails theoretically are rust proof, and if the galvanized coating is properly applied, and of sufficient thickness, such a nail will last as long as the shingle it holds in place. The life of this shingle roof, properly applied with these nails then is from 40 to 50 years. Pure iron nails, or the old cut or wrought nails are ideal but, dificult to secure. Copper nails also constitute a perfect shingle nail. Timms Phillips & Co., Ltd. | Vancouver Lumber Co., Ltd.

Those in the Wood Industry Have Reputations for Being Broadminded and in This Instance Appreciate that Each Must Do His Share in Bearing Burden of Taxation. However, While Some Declare New Tax to be Excessive Most Manufacturers, Whole- salers and Retailers Will Be Content if Solution is Arrived at which Embodies no Loop- F holes and is Fair to All. The new sales tax of six per cent has aroused acute interest in the lumber trade. No sales tax is ever popular except when it bears most heavily on the other fellow. It is a levy which all quite willingly sidestep but since it cannot be dodged effectively, there are many ideas regarding its application and collection. The “Canada Lumberman” has received numerous com- | munications with respect to the new measure which will go into effect on August Ist next, and at the time of writing many points regarding its feasibility remain to be settled. Excepts from communications received from several firms are taken at random and printed in this issue to show that no man, no matter in what branch of the lumber business he may be engaged, welcomes the new measure, or endorsed the action of the Ottawa administration in its fiscal ideas. A leading Toronto wholesaler remarks :—“There are very few lines of business in Canada today, if any, in which the investment and risk is so great and the margin of profit so small as the lumber business. The three per cent sales tax, in our opinion, has been a very great handicap to the ‘busi- ness, and if this tax is raised to six per cent it will do incal- culable harm. We do not think lumbermen can stand this enormous tax which we venture to say is more than the average profit realized.” A lumber manufacturer in Western Ontario says,—‘We think there should be concerted action upon the part of lum- It is altogether too high. The three percent tax was, certainly, high enough and lum- bermen have enough difficulties to contend with today with- out having the leyy doubled.” . Increase Will Injure Trade An Ottawa wholesaler declares:—‘It strikes us that taxation should be imposed at the source, viz., from manu- facturers, in order to be collectible, and as the lumber busi- ness from a wholesale viewpoint is conducted on a very smal! margin or percentage of profit, if we are obliged to absorb this six per cent tax, either directly or indirectly, it will hamper our efforts at successful dealing. It must be remembered that if six per cent is tacked on to the manufacturer, such charge represents a like increase in the production costs, and in order for a manufacturer to realize a profit, he must necessarily increase his price to the next man who sells or distributes forest products. One gleam of satisfaction comes from the exporters, and an eastern firm writes,—“Our business here is entirely export and we are not affected in the same way by the new tax as we would be if we were doing a local trade.” A Montreal wholesale and manufacturing concern say,— “We believe the increase in the sales tax on lumber as pro- posed by the Fielding Budget, is a great mistake. Lum- iber prices today have gone about the limit, and it is the consensus of opinion that values are now at their peak. The six percent sales tax will increase the cost of our lumber on an average about $2.05 per M feet, and we do~not believe the trade will stand it.” Another. Toronto wholesaler remarks,—‘“We believe that the method by which the sales tax should be collected, should be on the total monthly sales of the manufacturer and not be shown on any invoice. If it is undesirable to show a sales tax on the invoice to a retailer, why should the sales tax be put on the manufacturer’s invoice to the wholesaler? The wholesale profit on lumber is not such that it would readily absorb the six per cent sales tax, and this has to be added to overhead expense, and we consider this undesirable.” Blames Lumbermen for the Outcome A Quebec wholesaler asserts,——“The present tax is too complicated and unwieldly and is likely to retard building. It will also lead to a decreased consumption of lumber by general industries.” A leading eastern manufacturer says:—‘With regard to increasing the sales tax on lumber to six percent, I do not care to express a very definite opinion at the present time until the matter comes before. our Association. [I deem silence the better course at the present time.” A New Brunswick lumberman says,—‘We are not at all surprised at this increase as we have been rather expecting something of this kind. In fact I think that a good many of the lumber dealers are themselves to blame for the action that the Government has taken in this matter. You will remem- ber that under the present Act the lumbermen are favored. The dealers, who buy from the manufacturers, started an agitation to have the manufacturers absorb part of this tax, calling attention to the preferential treatment the manufac- turers apparently enjoyed, forgetting that the dealers them- selves have the benefits under that arrangement. Now that the matter has been called to the special attention of the Government, they have brought us under the general clause, charging us the same rate as on all other manufactured arti- cles. In my opinion, there is nothing for us to do except to charge the tax to the dealer when the purchases are made and he will have to pass it on to his customer in the same way. I do not know whether it is possible to have the Finance Minister reconsider this matter but I am very doubt- ful if we would have any success in that direction . Should Confine Area of Collection A Northern Ontario lumber manufacturer takes a rather jocular view of the situation and says “Something desperate should be done to the fellow who invented taxes and interest.” He adds,—“On sales already made and where the goods will not be delivered until after the new tax comes into effect, we (Contined on page 42) No. 11 / 40 CANADA LUMBERMAN pp He i Te Pe te OR er ee fat 1 NY ae eee - Montreal Wholesalers Discuss the New Tax Many Dealers and Manufacturers in East Venture Opinion that Lumber Should be Considered Manufactured Product and Tax Collected at Origin with no Further Levy At the usual luncheon of the Montreal Wholesale Lumber Deal- ers’ Association on Wednesday, May 16, an informal meeting of the members was held which was also attended by Mr. Dan McLachlin. Mr. Arthur Campbell outlined what had been done by the Montreal Lumber Association and supported the idea of a modification in the clause dealing with the re-manufacture of lumber. He expressed the opinion that it would considerably simplify the matter if the tax were paid entirely by the manufacture on the sawn lumber. He also stated that it was held“by some lumbermen that the tax of 6% was too high. Public Will Ultimately Pay Mr. Dan McLachlin said that, from his point of view, it did not make any difference whether the tax was borne by the mill or by the wholesaler—the public would ultimately have to pay it. If the lum- ber was regarded as manufactured material, then the mill would have to pay, but if it was regarded as raw material, then users of it would have to pay the tax, -In the course of further discussion, it was suggested that, under the re-manufacturing clause, the mill might have to pay 6% tax, and then, if the lumber were manufactured into furniture, another 6% would be levied on the finished article. What was really requir- ed was a ruling on the subject, and the idea of sending a joint depu- tation with the Montreal Lumber Association was approved in order to obtain full information on the subject. On the point of what constituted re-manufacturing, Mr. Camp- bell stated that the Ottawa authorities had previously ruled that dres- sing of lumber did not constitute further manufacture. It was also pointed out that the tax of 6% would operate against Canadian buyers as compared with those from the States. While Canadian buyers would have to pay the tax, which would no doubt be incorporated in the price charged by the mill, American firms would be exempt from this 6% charse, and would thus be able to obtain their lumber cheaper than domestic buyers. The chair was taken ‘by Mr. Bock, and the discussion was taken part in by Messrs. A. ‘Campbell, W-A.:Filion, C. Villiers, C. A.-Spen- cer, and others. Following this meeting, it was arranged that a deputation from the Montreal Lumber Association, the Montreal Wholesale Lumber _ Dealers’ Association, and the Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Associa- ~ tion, Toronto, should visit Ottawa on May 17, with a view of obtain- ing information as to the tax, and particularly as to the clauses deal- ing with the re-manufacture of commodities. a asked a number of questions bearing on the tax. Interviewing the Ottawa Authorities The deputation consisted of Messrs. D, H. McLennan, of the McLennan Lumber Company, Montreal, president of the Mon- treal Lumber Association; Arthur H. Campbell, of the Campbell, MacLaurin Lumber Co: Ltd., of Montreal; G. W. Grier, of G. A. Grier & Sons, Ltd., of Montreal; J. S. Bock, Eagle Lumber Co. Ltd., chairman of the Montreal Wholesale Lumber Dearers’ Association; O. Page, Cardinal & Page, of Montreal; A. J. Smith, Albert J. Smith Lumber Co, Ltd., of Montreal: Cs Plant, GE Plant Lumber Co. id., of Montreal - W. A. Filion, of E. H. Lemay, ‘Montreal;)A. E: Clark, Edward Clark & Sons, Ltd., of Toronto; 'A. E. Eckardt, the R. Laidlaw Lumber Co., of Toronto; D. C. Johnston, Union Lumber Company, of Toronto; C. E. Fleming, C. E, Fleming Tie & Lumber Co., of Ottawa; Frank Hawkins, secretary of the Canadian Lumber- men’s Association, and others. The deputation interviewed Messrs. R. R. Farrow, Commis- sioner of Customs and Excise, and T. R. Russell of the Business Profits Department and after being introduced by Mr. McLennan, The interview was of an informal character, every member of the deputation taking part in it. The deputation inquired as to what effect the tax would have on the lumber trade, and how it would be collected, having special regard to the fact that lumber was re-manufactured into many forms of commodities. From the statement by Messrs. Farrow and Russell it appears that the tax, instead of being collected entirely at the source, that is from the mill, will be mainly collected from those who actually man- ufacture the lumber into sashes and doors, boxes, furniture, etc. The regulations governing the collection of the tax are not yet complete but their broad lines will be such that the millmen will not pay the - tax, unless the lumber is sold to a consumer or to a wholesaler o1 manufacturer who does not hold a license. The last. licensed meer matter what numbers of hands the raw material or semi- aaa tured material passes through. A licensed wholesaler, selling to unlicensed manufacturers, will pay the tax, incorporating t the tax nig the price. : What Montreal Wholesalers Desire : At a meeting of the Montreal Retail Lumbermen’s baeneiionne held ‘on May 16th, the following resolution was passed:—‘That the — Minister of Finance be asked that whatever sales tax is levied by the Dominion Government on the lumber trade, be assessed on the pro- ducer at the source of manufacture, and that no further tax be col- — lected, for the reason that a tax on re-manufactured lumber will lead — to confusion.” During a brief discussion it was suggested that the sales tax under the proposal of Mr. Fielding would lead to considerable com- plications, and that it might be levied twice over, thus increasing the cost of lumber. : The B. C. Wholesale Lumber and Shingle Association has wired — Mr. Fielding suggesting that the tax should be collected at the source and not passed on as under the old system. Lumber Wendie Carrying Heavy Burden ua A representative firm in the Midland district, writing the “Can 4 ada Lumberman” in regard to the sales tax say that it makes no — particular difference to them as they have sold their 1923 production ~ at certain prices plus sales tax. The president of the organization added that there is a much greater element of risk in the lumber busi- — nes than in any other line. There are conditions over which the . lumberman has no control and which do not apply to the average industry. Ina marked degree this is the case from the time the tim- ~ ber is taken from the stump until placed on the market. Between various taxes, Compensation Board assessments and other costs, the © lumber manufacturer, if he is going to remain in business, is carry- ing a burden beyond the limit which it can be done without eee. on additional cost to the consumer. Considering the present high cost of material and seen further _ increases will doubtless tend to reduce consumption and demand and from the standpoint of good business, the policy of manufacturers respecting production will doubtless be to govern themselves accord- ~ ing to the demand and market conditions. Should there develop restricted market conditions and demand for the goods that the lum- — berman produces, their policy would be to curtail production pending ~ an improvement, and the speaker thought that other manufacturers — would, doubtless, follow the same course. Want Modification of Proposed Measure The question of the Sales Tax has been under the considera- tion of the Montreal Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association and of — the Montreal Lumber Association. The subject was first taken up by the Montreal Lumber Association at a special meeting held on — May 14, under the presidency of Mr. D. H. McLennan. As a result of the discussion, it was decided to send a telegram to Mr. Fielding asking him to receive a deputation with a view to the modification — of the clauses relating to the re-manufacture of lumber, and the method of collecting the tax. The telegram expressed satisfaction — with the change in the Sales Tax, in so far as it applied to the source. — At the same time, it was pointed out that a certain amount of trouble — might be anticipated owing to the difficulty of ascertaining the exact — amount of lumber that could be considered as raw material in the © manufacture of such commodities as doors, sashes, windows, etc. The opinion was also expressed that this difficulty could be obviated — by applying the tax to sawn lumber only, which would be collec eam at the source and which would simplify the situation. ss s ; ~ et “” f CANADA Provisions of New The Minister of Finance states that the new tax will be six per cent., to be “collected at the source,” coming into i effect Jan. Ist, 1924. It would appear as if the chief points in the new measure are as follows :— A manufacturer producing goods to the value of $10,000 per year will be required to take out a sales tax license at a cost of $2.00. Wholesalers selling fifty per cent. of their sales to manufacturers holding a sales tax license will be permitted to take out a license. The product of a sawmill will only be taxed when it is not to be used as raw material for “further manufacturing.” Shingles and lath, doors, sash, etc., will be subject to the tax when sold by the mill, being regarded as finished products. — A straight retailer, not operating a planing mill, will pay a price in which the manufacturer or wholesaler has included a six per cent. tax. That will be the end of it for him, as he will not have to collect the tax. The retailer, who operates a planing mill, and who sells $10,000 worth of “further manufactured” product per year, will have to take out a sales tax license. He can buy material for his planing mill without any tax upon it but., i] a a ee ee eS ee Se Toronto Lumbermen The new six percent sales tax, its interpretation and applica- tion was the principal theme of discussion at the regular monthly eo . meeting of the Wholesale Lumbermen’s Association, Inc., held at the Albany ‘Club on Friday evening May 18. There was a good attendance and another feature was an address by T. W. Gibson, Deputy Minister of Mines for Ontario, on the “precious metals” of the province. Concerning the conference recently held in Ottawa regarding the new sales tax, announced by Hon. W. S. Fielding, Finance Minister, with the Commissioner of Taxation, interesting reports were presented ‘by A. E. Eckardt and D. C. Johnston. These mem- bers represented the Toronto trade and, included in the delegation, were lumbermen from Montreal and Ottawa. ‘The deputation num- bered about thirty. Mr. Eckardt summarized matters in pointing out that the information regarding the application and collection of the new sales tax of six per cent., which will come into effect on January 1st, 1924, was not complete as yet and its interpretation was conflicting. In general he said that the tax would be collected “at the source” upon the sale of manufactured products. The product of a sawmill will only be taxed on the sale by the mill in cases in which it has been sold for ultimate consumption. This will include sales of shingles and lath and rough ‘building material which is not to be further manufactured. _Lumiber or timber which it to be further manufactured in a planing mill, sash and door factory or other plant using lumber as a raw material, will be sold by the sawmill without a “tax. When _ it has been further manufactured, its sale will then be subject to a - tax of six per cent. All manufacturers prodieiie goods to the value of $10,000 or _ more per year will be required to take out an annual license at a cost of $2. Wholesalers or jobbers selling fifty per cent of their total sales to licensed manufacturers may be granted a tax license. Whole- _ salers or jobbers selling to others than licensed manufacturers will be required to pay the tax on their sale prices. Pee ae ee ee ee ee ee Sales Tax Included in Price All importations will be subject to a tax of six per cent. on the duty-paid value. There will be no sales tax upon goods im- ported ‘by a licensed manufacturer, to be used in the production of articles for sale. It has not yet been announced but it is understood _ to be the intention of the Minister of Finance, that the sales tax shall not be shown as a separate item upon the invoice but shall included in the price. It is learned that there will be only one tax and that there be no tax on lumber exported. The present conditions in this LUMBE Hear Tax Explained RMAN 1 Measure Set Forth when he sells his “further manufactured” product, it will be subject to six per cent. tax. Qn his purchases of material which he intends to sell withcut putting it through the planing mill, there will be a tax when he buys and no tax when he sells. Imports will be subject to six per cent. tax on the duty- paid value, unless imported by a manufacturer, to be used in the production of articles for sale. The date when a refund on account of sales tax with respect to goods sold at a price fixed before May 12th 1923, is put further back to June 30th 1924, instead of March 31st 1924. It is said that the intention of the Finance Minister is that the tax shall not be shown in the invcice as a separate item, but shall be added to the price. : The experience of former years suggests that the whole situation may yet be changed by later announcements. How- ever, if it goes into effect as outlined above, it is pointed out, the situation will be very sezious for the retailer, who will be both paying and collecting taxes fom the govern- ment. He will be paying a heavy tax on a!l stock that he does not “further manufacture” and he will be collecting a heavy tax on all stock that he does “further manufacture.” respect will be continued on and after August Ist. ¥ - On motion of J. L. Campbell and Nelson Clark a hearty vote of thanks was passed, tendering Messrs. Eckardt and Johnston the appreciation of those present for their able review of the provisions — of the new sales tax, which although still doubtful on many points, was of great interest to lumbermen. ~ It was decided that the June meeting, in view of the annual convention of the American Hardwood Association in Chicago, dur- ing the third week in June at which many Canadians will be present, will be held on Friday, June 29th, instead of the 22nd. Arrangements for the annual picnic, which will ‘be held at the ~ Lake Shore Country Club, were le%t in the hands of the Enter- — tainment Committee, which will decide the date. The Mineral Wealth of Ontario Mr. Gibson was suitably introduced by Chairman A. C. Gordon | and referred to what is known as the precious metals, gold and silver, The former was secured in two ways, from alluvial deposits and the solid rock. Sixty-seven per cent. of the world’s output of gold came to-day from countries flying the Union Jack. Mr. Gib- son related an interesting tale of the discovery of gold in Hastings County in 1866, and told of subsequent discoveries up to the present day when the province had such valuable auriferous mines as the © Hollinger, McIntyre, Dome, Kirkland [Lake and others, the first- named yielding $1,000,000 in gold every month. Unlike lumber, gold did not vary in price and was always worth the same figure, $20. 60 an ounce. . Referring to silver, Mr. Gibson spoke of its discovery in Cobalt and the subsequent developments in that great mining camp. Since 1903 when ‘Cobalt first became known, this argentiferous area é had up to the present period produced $215,000,000 worth of silver. — At the close a number of excellent views were thrown upon the screen depicting mining operations and widely-known mines in Northern Ontario. On motion of J. L. Campbell and F. H. Bigwood, a hearty oa ie of thanks was tendered the speaker for his admirable address. “a * A new office building is being erected by the Abernethy Loug-_ heed Co. at Port Haney, B.C.

It is impossible, however, to arrange the tax to please everybody but to our mind it would ber well to con- fine the area of collection. “We do not see how this can be done in a more efficient manner than by making the manu- facturer pay and not allowing him to pass it on to the other fellow. The manufacturer has to deal with labor so has considerable experience with trouble; consequently who should be more naturally fitted for the job of paying this tax? Present System Will be Confusing A Montreal lumber firm says,—‘We do not like the tax to apply on finished products. It should be collected at the sawmills only; otherwise the tax would lead to confusion as the firms that carry on a lumber business with the sash and door factory, will find it almost impossible to determine exactly the quantity of lumber used in the finished product.” Another eastern concern in reference to increasing the sales tax on the finished product of lumber writes—‘‘We believe that the tax will act unfavorably on the lumber trade, and woodworking industries. Under the Act, if two parties handle lumber, one will pay less tax than the other, who is both a retailer and manufacturer. As many retailers also manufacture, they will be obliged to take out a license and pay the Government 6% on the price they sell at, whereas an unlicensed trader will pay the tax at the mill. With the high rates now prevailing, the unlicensed dealer will pay much less tax, which, in our opinion, will make the tax very Standardization is Making Great Progress The standardization movement in the lumber industry took a distinct step forward as a result of the meeting of the Consulting Committee on Lumber Standards, held in Chicago recently. Because of the progress thus made all those who are sincerely devoted to the lumber standardization movement are definitely encouraged over the prospects of early completion of the program publicly announced a year ago. The meetings were well attended and the sessions began early and constituted an almost continual hard grind of labor until late at night, as the various sub-committees scpacnied for special confer- ences. Although much collateral good was accomplished the chief ele- ments of progress were the ratification of basic lumber grades and the establishment, so far as the Committee was concerned, of the standard sizes of boards, dimension and finish. The erades recom- mended by the Committee cover the whole range of lumber quali- ties, divided into two general groups. ‘The first ‘basic group will be Raowa as Select Grades A, B, C and D; and the second basic group will be known as Common—No. 1, 2, Bh 4 and 5. The greatest labor was expended i in the consideration of sizes for boards, dimension and finish. The Committee acted favorably upon the recommendation of the Forest Products Laboratory both in the nomenclature of the basic grades and in most of the details of lumber sizes. It was decided that the terms “inch board” and “two inch mea- surement” be dropped, and in the interests of sound business the term “standard board” and “standard dimension” be adopted and applied to both hardwoods and softwoods. It was also decided that 13/16” S2S (measured at standard com- mercially dry shipping weight and moisture content for each species ) shall be adopted as a maximum thickness of the standard “factory” board, and “box” board, which comprises lumber for remanufacture, eraded on the basis of A—Clear cutting ‘B—Sound cutting, or C—Quality of the piece as a whole. It was recommended that 25/32 of an inch S1S or S2S (measured at standard commercially dry shipping weight and moisture~ content for each species) shall be adopted as a minimum thickness of the standard “yard” board, which comprises lumber for general con- struction and other ordinary purposes, graded on the basis of the use of the piece as a whole. For standard dimension stock not more than 12” wide, the size recommended was 154” S1S or S2S (measured at standard commer- cially dry shipping weight and moisture content for each species). fo NaN ivi This is an injustice, which will result in unfair com- petition. The tax will stop the building trade, and will lead more of our countrymen to go over the border. The govern- ment are inquiring why so many of our good tradesmen are going to the United States. ‘The answer is to be found in taxation of the character referred to. If we are to have the tax, its operation should be postponed until January 1. A representative eastern concern says “If the present proposed Act is carried out it will not only be haem fee to collect but very expensive to all concerned.” A Chatham, N. B., firm remarks,—“We are of the opin- ion ‘that the sales tax of six percent on lumber is quite too high. We would favor having the full amount of the tax collected from the manufacturer.” A Halifax lumber merchant observes,—‘‘We believe that the new measure will strangle trade and be a further burden on the manufacturer which is quite heavy enough as it is. To double the sales tax at a time when business is on the — upward trend, will prove a source of disturbance in the mar- ket and cause hesitancy on the part of buyers.” A large firm in the Muskoka District say:—“We hear considerable discussion in regard to the tax. There seems — to be a feeling that it is going to retard business to a certain extent and re-act on the trade as a whole. We think that the tax is too high altogether, that it should be considerably reduced and should be céllected at the source of origin. We believe this would place everyone on an equal basis for this reason—that all manufacturers would know then why they had to absorb the tax, and would endeavor to get that much additional for their lumber. it unfair. It was agreed that 354”, 55%”, 712”, 914" and 11%” SIE or S2E (measured at standard commercially dry shipping weight and mois- ture content for each species) be adopted as the standard finished — widths of boards, dimension and finish and that consideration be given to the general production of 4%” boards when not over 8” wide. It was also the opinion of the Committee that commercially dry lumber should not weigh more than the standard shipping weights — approved by the Central Committee on Lumber Standards for lumber of the various species manufactured in each region. r How Easterners Would Adjust Tax At a meeting on May 25th of the Montreal Lumber Association, the Montreal Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association, and the Mon- treal Retail Lumbermen’s Association, the question of the sales tax in relation to the lumber industry was discussed, and it was decided to send the following letter to Mr. Fielding. The letter was for- warded by Mr. H. C. Beatty, ae of the Montreal Lumber Association. “T have the honour to onten you that the members of the Montreal Lumber Association of the Montreal Board of Trade, The Montreal Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association, and the Montreal Retail Lumbermen’s Association, having given con- sideration to the proposed sales tax to be effective Ist January © 1924, as set forth in the resolution contained in your Budget’s Speech and subsequent amendments thereto, respectfully sug-_ gest that it be further amended to adjust, what to them appears to be a weakness, not affecting its rate of percentage, or its gen- eral principle, but the proposed method of its application which ~ in their opinion would be susceptible to irregularities. It is sin- cerely believed that to permit raw materials, particularly manu- factured articles, and importations to any manufacturer or any wholesaler to be tax free, would cause vexatious complications and difficulties in the eventual collection of the sales tax on all j such commodities as they become further manufactured. “This objection is particularly applicable to lumber, and — therefore, the said Associations pray you to seriously consider - their suggestion that a 6% tax be levied on all sawn lumber (as it leaves the sawmill) and on importations of lumber, and as such is absorbed or incorporated into a further manufactured article an additional 6% tax be paid by the manufacturer, but that he be allowed in computing his sales tax return to the Gov- ernment, to deduct the amount of the O7 tax on the cost of his — raw material,” AUN eh il ms F 5 i [ a oy CANADA LUMBERMAN 43 FOREST AND MILL IN PICTURE SOLIS!

They sold all their camp equipment ‘and disposed of the greater part of the machinery from their mill. The remainder is being scrapped and the mill dismantled. The logging locomotive and steam log loader of the Dennis Can- adian Co. are going to the Hope Lumber Co. at Ruel, where they will be used by that organization in loading and hauling logs for their operations at that point, after which ‘the equipment will be taken over the Canadian National & Algoma Eastern to the mill { _ of the Hope Lumber Co. at Little Current, ‘Ont. The Dennis Canadian Co. have about 6,000,000 feet of lumber _ yet to ship, practically all of which is sold and is being moved out as rapidly as possible. Mr. Van Meter expects to stay on the job until about August lst, when he hopes to have things in such shape that it will “not be necessary for him to remain longer. He will then return to his home at Cadillac, Mich., where he mill take charge of a metal-work- ing factory in which he is heavily interested financially. Lumber Firm Issues Guarantee Form The A. E. Gordon Lumber Co. Toronto, has issued a guarantee form which is rather unique in the way of a document, so far as the disposition of forest products is concerned. When a, salesman’s order is received at the head office and is properly filled out and acknowledged, the typewritten confirmation bears the red seal of the company the | ‘seal of quality.” There is on the salesman’s order form, the following which avoids any possible misunderstanding: “Orders are not binding until accepted by head office at Toronto and buyer’s signature constitutes aceptance of contingencies and conditions mentioned in head office acknowledgement. ‘Deliveries prices based on rates in effect at time of sale. Any subsequent increase shall be charged to buyer’s account.” The guarantee form itself is neatly lithographed, with an artistic border in green and in the upper left-hand corner a spruce tree bear- ing the words ‘ ‘we serve.” On the certificate, which is attached to every invoice sent to customers, appears at the top the name of the frm, “The A.

According to a bulletin just published by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, of 37 Eastern and Southern lumber- producing States, 36 showed a decreased cut and only one a slight increase in 1920; while Pacific Slope States all report sub- stantial increases, showing that the center of production is shifting to the Western States, the last of our softwood reserves. Thirty years ago after the depletion of New York and Penn- sylvania white pine sections, the American lumber market was draw- ing its supply from the Great Lake States. When the source in those sections became exhausted and the forests no longer able to supply the demand or furnish enough to keep the mills in operation, the industry moved to the Southern Yellow Pine region, and is rapidly duplicating the same procedure there. The inevitable result follows that within the near future the American people shall be wholly dependent upon this reserve of all-purpose softwoods, the Pacific Slope. Not only is this the only remaining domestic source of soft- woods, but a recent survey of the world’s supply of this commodity discloses the fact that there are no foreign forests of this character that may be drawn upon when ‘those of the United States are exhausted. These figures and facts suggest several questions that touch the welfare of every individual in our growing population. What will be the effect when our timber is gone? What will be the several stages of adjustment? What steps should be taken to meet the national needs? What is being done in this respect? “ oA 44 CANADA LUMBERMAN i ae EEE eee cot described in our acknowledgement of this order and our invoice | The average rate of decrease over the last 13 years has been | about 2 per cent. a year. The figures for 1920 are about 27 per cent. lower than the high production peak that was reached in 1907, when we produced about 46 billion feet. The United States has passed the high point and the present tendency downward is permanent. Since ] this is the case there must be some active steps taken to insure peng manent local sources of timber for the future. — High Price Paid for Spruce Logs a Spruce logs are said to be selling at $22 to $25 Per M feet at Springhill, the rafting grounds of the St. John River, five miles above Fredericton, N.B. These prices for what are known as “bank — logs” are near the highest level ever reached on the river and are regarded as an indication of the sound condition of the lumber — market. Some doubt exists as to the ability of mills which depend — upon buying “bank logs” for their sawing material, to secure a suffi- cient supply to make operation wosth while this season. ‘ Most of the sawmills in the vicinity of Fredericton are now elle under way. The mill operated ‘at South Devon by Stanley Douglas, | Limited, is running once more and will cut about 8,000 feet this — season. While this was the approximate amount of last ae cut at the plant, operations this season are about a month later than — last spring when sawing was started on April 18th. Last vem. cut- ting was also continued until late in the fall. : The Lloyds of Sittingbourne, England, who are the largest news- print producers in the Old Country, turning out between 500 and — 600 tons daily, and large users of pulp, have sent A. A. Richards © to Canada, to investigate conditions with a view to establishing a — pulp mill in Quebec or the Maritime Provinces. Mr. Richards is — looking into all phases of the question and will report back to his — firm on the economy and feasibility of Lloyds producing their own — pulp in connection with their large newsprint mill. . is The Last Plasterer—And Then What? From toe Wall Street Journal There is reason to apprehend that bricklayers will become as uncommon as veterans of the War of 1812. When one reflects on the princely wages of bricklayers, it is a lament- — able thought that they have to die, but, as with all the world’s great, no way has been found to save them from this unhappy fate. An occasional veteran of the War of 1812 is recruited by fraud, and an occasional apprentice is admitted to mem- bership in the Bricklayers’ Union, but in neither case does the number of recruits begin to equal the mortality list. The National Association of Manufacturers says that the number of apprentices admitted to the Bricklayers’ Union last year was less than half the number of members taken by death. At this rate, bricklaying will soon become a lost art, and our grandchildren will marvel at our skill in laying brick as we wonder at the lost processes of our remote ancestors who understood and practiced the tempering of copper. The passing of the plasterers gives even greater reason for apprehension and disquietude, because they are passing even faster than the bricklayers. We replenish our streams with trout and we protect our song birds from extermination, but we take no thought of our plasterers. By reason of the limitation of apprentices, most of our plasterers are aged men and will not be with us for long. The years are not many when we shall regard with awe the last survivor of the - Plasterers’ Union very much as we regarded the last survivor of the charge of Balaklava. With the growing scientific interest in these matters, ‘hie is not unlikely that the professors at our institutions of learning will soon undertake a study of this disappearing type as they do the small remnant of some of the aboriginal tribes. While there is yet time, we suggest that there be preserved on the phonograph for future generations the voice of a plasterer discussing long hours and slave wages, for the era is not remote when all we shall know of this species must come from a study of the fossil remains. What antiquarian interest will there soon be in a frag- ment of freshly-spread plaster! We can see the last plas- terer, a centenarian on his death-bed, painfully but skilfully spreading this fragment, at the rate permitted under union rules, for preservation in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, alongside the fragment of King Tut’s flagon Bs aR ie sh ane pg Con ~ “ oe ee ee ee ee ee oe See CANADA LUMBERMAN ‘Stone Lumber Company | Branching Out Operating Planing Mill and Manufacturing Dowels From Lower Grades at Hilton Beach, Ont.— Hardwood Lumber of Marketable Grade Cannot be Pro- duced for Less Than Fifty Dollars per Thousand, Declares Veteran Head of Organization. Up north on St. Joseph’s Island in the pretty little village of Hilton Beach is the plant of the Stone Lumber Co., Limited, manu- facturers of hardwood and hemlock lumber. W. J. Smith is the president of the organization and is an enthusiastic lumberman. The _ mill started sawing early in March but it is hard and expensive work piling lumber in snowstorms and in weather that was then below zero. The firm have some 2,000,000 feet of logs which they want _to get into pile before the stain shows. The Stone Lumber Co. have erected another building to be used as a planing and dowel mill, for they find that they must realize from the lower grades of hardwood more money than they now bring. In reference to the manufacture of dowels, the company say that it is a long way from Hilton Beach to Finland, but the dowel makers in the latter country seem to have considerable to say of the price which Canadians get for their output in the Old Country. Mr. Smith states that hardwood lumber of marketable grade cannot be produced for less than $50.00 per M, and for the last two years the product has not nearly averaged that. The difficulties of manufacturing hardwood lumber profitably and a reference to the instances where it has not been done would, in Ontario alone, fill several volumes. The shipping facilities of the Stone Lumber Co., both by land and water, are good. All water shipments are from Hilton Beach and rail by the C.P.R. from Dayton, Ont. The company are taking out a much larger cut than last year. They had their logging done before the bad end of the winter came but, unfortunately, according to Mr. Smith, started sawing too early and incurred a loss which hardwood lumber cannot stand. Writing to the “Canada Lumberman” recently, Mr. Smith said,— “Our new building is completed and part of the machinery is being set up. Our company is depending on a road from Hilton Beach to Canoe Point which the local authorities have assured us for the last five years would be built. It is not yet ready and if it is not completed this season, the Stone Lumber Co. may close their opera- tion at this point and ship their logs, although they are loath to do “so as the loss would be a serious one to Hilton Beach. A peculiar thing about the road matter is that another section of St. Joseph’s Island where the highway system is reasonably perfect, has received a grant of $20,000, while the Hilton township has not got even $2,000 or $3,000, to build this road. It is understood, however, that Hon. Mr. Bowman has assured a delegation from Hilton township that ati On the left is Glyn Smith and on the right, his father, W. J. Smith, President of the Stone Lumber Co., Hilton Beach, Ont. Note the healthy hound pups which each has in his arms consideration would be given, and, therefore, we are hopeful to start setting machines up within the present month when the road should be under way.” _. Mr. Smith makes an assertion which no one will dispute. It is to the effect that the past winter was the most severe ever experi- enced and that the first white child born in that section ninety years _ ago never remembers anything like it. He humorously adds——‘*We all hope that if he lives another ninety years he will not see another such a season. The snow was 4 feet deep on the level and 15 feet in the drifts, and in the middle of April a geat deal of it was still visible.” Mr. Smith was born in England and educated at Dr. Reddick’s Grammar School near Chester. In 1881 he came to Canada with his parents and settled in Algoma. Subsequently he became an appren- tice in the Michigan lumber woods in 1883. With the exception of eight years spent on the lakes, he has followed the lumber game ever since. of the interests of the Stone Lumber Co., at the head of which organ- ization he is to-day. He has many friends in the lumber industry. His son, William Glyn Smith, served overseas during the war, joining the 26th Battery at Barriefield as a gunner. Glyn is an excel- lent example of the class of men produced in the Canadian woods, being 6 feet, 3 inches, tall, 190 lbs. in weight, and handy and alert. As a youth he spent his holidays at the mill, sometimes in the Mich- igan woods acquiring practical lumbering knowledge, and was edu- cated at Sault Ste. Marie, the High School at Meaford and the Univer- sity of Toronto. Glyn Smith returned home after four years’ ser- vice though not with the 26th Battery, which was practically wiped oe and the few survivors were put into the 17th and 18th Batteries, C.F A.

The resumption of activities was a little later than usual owing to the backward spring, as everything was held up owing to the ice and high water. Angus McLean, president of the company, looks forward to a very fair season’s operation. He says the demand for spruce has slackened somewhat, so far as the American trade is concerned, but things are looking a little better in the European market and prices are holding about steady. So far as the pulp mills of the Bathurst Co. are concerned, they are running at full cepacity, and Mr. McLean expresses the hope that, within the next two or three months, the new newsprint mill of the company, which is now nearing completion, will be in opera- tion. Golf Entries for The Laidlaw Trophy It is expected there will be an unusually active and strenuous contest this year for the Laidlaw Cup, which is open for competition to all amateurs who are members or employed by firms belonging to ‘the Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association, Toronto. This will make the third year of competition. The winner of the first year was _ A. Wilson, of the Canadian General Lumber Co., and last year A. N. Dudley, wholesale lumber dealer, captured the trophy. The conditions governing the competition during the present season specify that the matches may be played over any golf course in Toronto and all entries have to be made with Horace Boultbee, secretary of the W.L.D.A., Toronto, before June 30. The winner of the cup is allowed to retain possession of it until this year’s tournament is concluded and the victor determined. The cup bears each year the name of the winner and becomes the permanent pro- perty of the holder when won three times. Other conditions governing the contest are:—Each game shall consist of eighteen holes match play on handicap, each player to use the handicap of his own club, the number of strokes given to be fixed by three-quarters of the difference in the handicap. A schedule will then be prepared, after all the entries are in, and a draw made. Players will then have two weeks in which to play off their matches. Byes will be arranged in order that the number of players shall be 16, 32 or 64, as may be required. All games shall be played under the Rules of Golf, as approved by the Royal Canadian Golf Association, and local rules of the club for the course over which the match is being played. The Committee reserve the right to alter the terms or dates on the program. Will be Busy Along the Miramichi W. B. Snowball, of Chatham, N.B., reports that log-driving con- ditions are very favorable in that section of the country and rafting has just commenced. The company’s mill began operations on June Ist. There have been no labor troubles in connection with the mills _ that have started work and it is not anticipated there will be any. Wages are slightly higher than they were last year and it looks, Mr. Snowball says, as if there will be plenty of work on the Miramichi during the whole season. How Floods Hit Some Eastern Firms A representative of the “Canada Lumberman,” who lately visited several sections of New Brunswick, sends some interesting informa- tion in regard to the serious floods which swept over certain towns in the East. Imperial Products, Limited, of Woodstock, had their whole town plant, including the office, taken off its foundation by the flood of water and logs when the electric light and power dam broke. Even the company’s large safe went down the stream when the office was carried away. The firm managed to get their books out. The loss to the Imperial Products is a heavy one. The firm, of which _ Messrs. Page and Teed are the managers, have a big farm and timber limits and also operate a sawmill. ‘They have not yet definitely decided what they will do in resuming their former activities but it is likely that they will continue the most of them. The Smith Lumber Co., Woodstock, N.B., had 800,000 feet of logs taken off their premises as well as part of their mill and office tozn away ‘by the debacle when the power dam above the town broke loose. The loss ran into many thousands of dollars. The firm have recently fixed up the mill and begun their drive from further up- stream. They have about 600,000 “feet of logs which were held by part of the dam. The steel bridge over the river on the main street, connecting the two sides of the town, was also demolished in the freshet. A temporary structure has been swung across the stream until such a time as arrangements can be made for a new one. 46 CANADA LUMBERMAN . ) vy The Timber Supply and Land User : a The necessity of providing enough timber to supply the co try’s future requirements, and inability to use the bulk of cut or burned over forest lands for agriculture are two problems now cot fronting the Nation, declares the U.S. Forest Service, in an article in the 1922 Yearbook of the United States Department of Agricul- ture, entitled “Timber: Mine or Crop?” — “The depletion of timber supplies and the reduction of fores st area largely through timber mining has created one national problen that of providing the timber necessary to meet future requiremen says the article, “and inability to utilize cut or burned-over for lands for agriculture has created a second and related problem— of land use.’ In discussing the land utilization problem the Department Agriculture says that the American people have commonly bel that all our forest lands are agricultural, virtually regardles soil, topography, location, or climate, but that it is now beginn to be understood that this belief rests on a serious misconception. “The tradition that all cut or burned over forest land, or the greater part of it, is being taken by agriculture is not ‘borne c ou by the facts,” the article declares. “The total area of forest already cut or burned over, exclusive of farm woodlots, that my been taken for agricultural use has already grown to 181,000,000 acres. Furthermore, forest land is being cut over at the ‘rate of about 10,000,000 acres yearly and probably more than half this area is in virgin forest. “By recognizing the importance and: urgency of the two. er national problems of land use and timber supply and by taking advantage of the powerful forces of public necessity and private opportunity which are working toward the solution of both problems, — we can grow on our forest lands timber crops sufficient to meet our wood requirements if public agencies and private owners each : their share. The alternative is idle forest lands and timber bankruptcy.” Aad ie Production of Spruce Lath and Fuel In the article on “Does it Pay to Produce Spruce Lath! on page 48, May 15 issue, an error occurred in connection with the | summarizing of the figures. In order’ to make the position clear, we give the correct figures which summarizes the contention of the a writer: / 750 cords of slabs and edgings for fuel at $3.66 350,000 lath at $3.50" 250 cords slabs unsuitable for lath at $3.66 ‘915 Which leaves a balance in favor of fuel of - New Concern Promoted by Mr. Power The Bridgewater Lumber Co., who were recently canted charter, will shortly establish a new industry at Cap Rouge Height in the vicinity of Quebec Bridge. W. Gerard Power is the chief x promoter of the new organization. Mr. Power says that the equi ment for the new mill has been ordered and just as soon as se ; sible. construction will be started. The mill will have a floor space of 7,000 square feet, and when completed will give employment tom a large number of hands. “The main object of the new company,” said Mr. Power, “is et saw and dress lumber which will be brought from the bases oe supply by rail. The lumber will be specially dressed for export to. ; the American market in connection with the Power Lumber Co. with its head office in New York’ City. The site selected is a splendid one for manufacturing purposes. Being close to Quebec Bridge ¥ facilitates the transporting of lumber to the United States.” Many Improvements to Dalton Mill Austin & Nicholson, Limited, of Chapleau, Ont., have m extensive improvements to their plant at Dalton Mills, Ont.. new equipment consists of a tie edger, supplied by the E. Long Co. which is of a double special design. There has also been plied an extra slab slasher behind the tie edger. The company has built a burner 30 feet in diameter by 70 feet high, and purchased an alligator from West, Peachy & Sons, of Simcoe, Ont. This new warping tug is called the “Alice.” . Austin & Nicholson have under construction at Dalton Mills a 100-room sleeping house with barber shop and reading rooms. Each bedroom will be equipped with a double deck steel bed. The’ firm are also erecting ten additional houses in the vines top , convenience and comfort of their married employees. 7 ‘ will be held in Montreal. in inviting Mr. Horace Boultbee, the secretary of the Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association, to give the members the benefit of his J ounded 1880 The National Lumber Journal for Forty Years Issued on the Ist and 15th of every month by Hugh C.

Mgr. W. A. Saurwuin, Ass’t. Mgr. EEE EO eS ee Lumber Trade Conditions -_ (Continued from page 57) in greater demand and consequently better prices. Freight rates are still admittedly too high, but competition from European timber pro- _ ducers does not appear so serious as in former years. Recent inquiries from the West Indies have exposed the fact that there is practically no cured lumber available for that market. This is an unusual condition, as ordinarily many of the exporters engaged in that trade carry over pine and spruce suitable for that trade from the preceding year. Indications are that there will be a fair trade available during the year, and that as soon as the lumber is in shipping shape, a ready market will be found at satisfactory _ prices. The demand locally for various kinds of lumber promised to be greatly in excess of any recent year. The cut on account of 5 adverse weather conditions during the past winter will be consider- ably below normal, and there are those who forecast an actual scarcity of desirable specifications before the next cut is available. Conditions have been very favorable for driving during the ‘spring, and practically all the summer cuts are now in safe waters, and most mills have begun sawing. P| St. John Has Some Changes in Price and Demand The market reports from St. John show some marked changes in prices since the last edition. Some of the changes may be attributed to the American market being easier, and the English _ market stronger. 4 2 x 3, 2 x 4, 3 x 4 spruce shows a falling off and is quoted at $29.00. 2 SAO, vo ’x 4 and 3 x 4 dressed on one edge is $30.00. Sizes 2x6 and 2x7 are priced at $30.00, while 2x 10 and 3x9 are $38.00. Merchantable spruce boards rough 1 x 3 and 4 x 5 $45.00. at $30.00, but 1 x 7 and up have advanced from $40.00 to 5.00 There has been a falling off in the demand for laths and the gure has dropped to $6.50. Quotations on all kinds of shingles have advanced. ‘This is attributed to the fact that all of last year’s manu- facture has fbeen disposed of and higher values prevail for the new cut. 4 Shipments to the United States market have become easier, which is said’to be due to the retailers there buying heavily during the first of the year and in many cases being fully stocked. While the market is undoubtedly a trifle easier there are no signs of weak- ening. On the other hand reports indicate that the British demand _has become stronger, thus offsetting the easing up of the United States situation. From abnormal shipments of laths the situation has taken a turn and in Boston and the New England States the demand has fallen. off. A recent settlement of the wage question in Boston has been responsible for steadying and stimulating the lumber market. From recent reports received spruce logs were said to be sell- _ ing at from $22 to $25 per thousand feet at Springhill. These prices, for what are known as bank logs, are said to be near the highest _ level ever reached on the river and are an indication of the prosper- ous condition in the lumber arena. , _ Transportation difficulties have figured quite prominently in _ the; lumber situation here. The railroad service is still handicapped as a result of the recent torrential rains and subsequent floods, _ whieh caused considerable damage to the roadbeds and although ' temporary repairs have ‘been made transportation of freight has slowed down. : Although the demanq for shingles quite yecently has been rather quiet the price remains firm and it seems assured that there will be a ready market for the new cut. i > — Ottawa Reports Slowing up in Lumber Sales The Ottawa lumber market, during the closing period of May, experienced a further decline, so far as the volume of sales, and new orders were concerned. Trading with the United States yards which began to fall off during the latter part of April, intensified, with the result that May business with the American yards could easily be classified as poor. a The drop in American demand, was attributed largely to threat- -ened strikes in the building trades of the U. S.; the abnormally erie’ wages now being paid to skilled labor; and the unexpected lift- nag of railroad embargoes which permitted Canadian shipments held for a long time, to get to their destination, and so restock Ameri- Vhat the real cause of the depression is, nobody seemed to definitely. Several stated to the correspondent of the “Canada an” sehat they an there was Beree. an even chance for CANADA LUMBERMAN 61 the slack-up in orders to blow over, and held out hopes that good business would renew itself about the latter part of June; or early in July. In holding this view, members of the trade also looked on the other side of the prospective market and saw where it could get considerably worse. Notwithstanding the slackening of orders, prices remained firm. The getting of further American yard orders was the chief con- cern. Local companies. continued to work on old orders and send out shipments delivering stock on orders placed months ago. With the renewal of navigation, stocks of a standard size for the English market went forward from Ottawa district ports. Little change was noted in the volume of business or the stocks trans- ported as compared with other years. Contrary to some expecta- tions the drop in ocean freight rates which a year ago was 100 shillings per standard, did not result in increased business. Most of the sawmills got under operation during the period, and high water conditions at the Chaudiere gave promise of a good supply of early season logs coming down from the headwaters. A survey of the operations of logging companies showed that the late- ness of the spring had tied up the annual drive considerably. Labor conditions with some of the logging companies were said to be poor so far as the spring drive is concerned. Reports were to the effect that many of the skilled hands had quit camp and had gone to the United States, with the prospect of securing higher wages, working as unskilled labor, under prospective better con- ditions. ‘ “There are very few of the old men left for the drive. This year we are shorter, than ever, and we will have to commence our drive with practically an 80 per cent new crew made up largely of green river drivers,’ was the reluctant statement made by the woods manager of one of the largest lumber companies in the Ottawa — Valley. Conditions at the woodworking and factory end remained slow. The lateness of the approach of the summer season set new building back from three to four weeks, and consequently kept down the demand for factory products. Many projects, which were contem- plated in March and April, have been postponed for another year, — the owners taking the view that the cost of building materials, lum- — ber especially, was excessive. ; Labor conditions in woodworking plants and factories continued — to remain satisfactory, though the heads of the plants did not make any decision respecting the demand for higher wages, which was some time ago presented to them by the members of the Wood- — workers Union. } r Ontario Trade Slackens Somewhat in Orders During the month of May conditions slowed down considerably in the lumber business and the number of inquiries were not as large. Buyers were adopting a more cautious attitude, the advance in prices ceased and the demand from the United States consuming centres fell off appreciably. In some respects this is welcomed as — having a tendency to counteract the hitherto upward trend of prices, — as if conditions had gone on as they have been for some weeks, there _ was every danger of a runaway market. One wholesale lumberman- described the present situation as “a detour” and said the main road © would be struck again in a comparatively short time and every thing would proceed along safe and sane lines. Dry stocks are scarce, both in hardwood and soft-wood, and at | most shipping points the feetage on hand is much less than at this ~ season last year. Practically all sawmills are now operating and a_ ¥ scarcity of help is reported at some points, particularly in the way | of sawyers, filers, edgermen, etc. A number of these have been — attracted by the high wages paid for skilled men across the border. — The situation has also not been improved any by reason of the large — number of sawmills operating this season which were not in com-_ mission last summer. There is no denying that most plants have been very late in getting under way but it is expected that the cut — will be heavier at the majority of points than last year owing to the fact that the supply of logs will be greater and more mills will run — night and-day, a condition which has been unknown in some lumber towns for many years. : Production is, however, the watchword just now and it is believed" that 1923 is going to be one of steady demand and satisfactory prices © in spite of the cross-currents in the w ay of demands of labor, alleged buyers’ strike, speculation, sales tax increase and other perplexities. 4 The lumbermen, however, are always willing to take a chance and | are of the opinion that everything will round | into satisfactory shape. Building operations are going on progressively in Canada and there are very few serious labor troubles. Conditions are essentially © sound and prospects good as the crops are promising. Buyers, how- ever, refuse to be stampeded into heavy purchasing even although — there has been a constant trend towards higher price levels. As one \ _ avi « “ - ih Viet yo» fa to ae % ."

DUNLOP | Belting, Hose, Packing and General Mechanical Rubber Products for Every Purpose Bayeaker recently put it, there appears to be a general feeling that commodity markets are arriving at the point where the public will commence to hesitate about acquiring those things that are not absolute necessities. Owing to stiffer prices in certain grades of hardwoods, flooring recently took a jump from $5 to $15 per M. The advance did not apply to all grades but is regarded as a sort of evening-up process. Manufacturers report that the month of May was a very much busier one for flooring than April. Large quantities of railway ties are being shipped to different points along the various roads and to the creosoting plants at Tren- ton, Sudbury and other places. The call for ties is a heavy one and contracts have been filled by the purchasing concerns. in an expedi- tious manner. _ There are two features in the lumber trade which have to be con- _ sidered very thoroughly. They are factors which no one can exactly _ determine as all prophecies would fail if attempting to gauge results accurately. The new sales tax of six per cent, which will come into effect on January 1st, will add considerably to the ultimate price of _ forest products, being dowble the sales tax which is collected this _ year. Then again there is the advent of the new cut next month. _ Admittedly stocks in certain sizes and dimensions are now scarce, but how will quotations be affected when orders can be filled immedi- ately from the producing centres? Will enlarged stocks and higher prices, by reason of the sales tax, cause a halt in the upward trend of prices, requisitions and dis- tribution? Any discussion on this line, while of a speculative char- acter, is highly interesting as it is in the future the trade is concerned _ rather than the present. They know what is taking place now but the question arises what will transpire—say two or three months ahead? Retailers generally are not doing the business this spring which _ they fully expected to do and are not buying very freely at the pre- - sent time. This is attributed to the fact that speculative building is _ dropping off in the larger centres and the increased cost of construc- _ tion is causing a number of “prospects” to hesitate. ; A leading contractor stated the other day that a house which he could build and sell last year for $10,000, was this spring, owing to the advance in labor, glass, hardware and other costs, commanding $11,000 and the profit on the sale would not be as great proportion- ately. Another contractor stated that house-building was being overdone and construction had pretty nearly caught up with the demand. A wholesale lumberman blamed the millmen for asking too much for their season’s cut and said that the figures were out of all proportion to the advance in the cost of production. There had, he added, been a lot of talk about a scarcity of dry lumber until it became a settled conviction in the mind of all that lumber was almost a vanished product and then advantage had ibeen taken of the delu- sion to boost prices. He believed that the present temporary lull was a mighty good balance wheel and would serve to steady busi- ness during the remainder of the journey for 1923. It is interesting to hear the varied opinions on the subject of lumber prices and demand, no two individuals taking exactly the same outlook. However, there are very few pessimists, and all speak with a quiet confidence and sound belief that everything will come out well in the end. Quebec Sawmills are Now in Full Swing The Quebec lumber mills, which have sold practically all their stocks of manufactured lumber to local interests and to the United States market, are ready for operations on their 1923 cut, and by June 1st will be in full swing. Owing to the ease in the car situ- ation during the latter part of April and May, the Quebec firms have been shipping daily the product sold during the last fall and winter to their American customers and the same applies to the export of pulpwood to the United States mills. In the meantime, the demand for manufactured lumber still continues from the United _ States and the Quebec firms have their books well filled with orders _ for deliveries during the summer. The boom in the building trade in the United States in which _ there seems no let-up, is sending the prices of lumber up in the United States to abnormal figures. Building activity is also having the effect of attracting over the border a large exodus of experienced mechanics to the detriment of the Canadian trade. These abnormal - conditions in the United States, with the consequent inflation in _ the price of lumber/and other material, as well as in labor, are not expected to last. Economists, studying the situation, look for a - reaction within the next few months which all interests concerned in (Canada are preparing to meet. : The St. Pacome Lumber Co., of which W. Gerard Powel is _ president, (and altogether a separate business entirely from the firm of V & ae Sharples, aed). is doing a thriving export business an ne ~ . = ‘ RAs a A < . a =e Fi . i . ne: _ 1 ae > ~~ i ' says > ON) PRCA? eae ot ae Bia. eae CANADA LUMBERMAN 63 with the United States. In connection with this company, Mr. Power is also the president of an American lumber importing com- pany in the United States with head offices in the city of New York, managed by one of the latter members of the firm, R. E. Stocking. In addition to these interests and to meet the ever-increasing de- mand fom the American markets, Mr. Power has promoted another lumber company, the Bridgewater Lumber Co., which has acquired a parcel of land at Cap Rouge in close vicinity to the Quebec bridge, on which a large lumber mill will be erected to saw and dress lum- ber for the American market. This new concern was incorporated © by letters patent at the end of April, the machinery was ordered and the mill building is now in the course of erection. The object in locating the Bridgewater Company’s mill on the heights of Cap Rouge in close vicinity to the Quebec bridge, is to meet the emergencies of shipment. The logs will be brought in by the Intercolonial and Transcontinental Railways connecting with the base of supply, from the timber limits, where logging operations are carried on during the winter, and over the Quebec bridge right to the new mill. When the wood is sawn and dressed, it can be shipped west or over the bridge to connect with all American trans- portation arteries, Associated with Mr. Power in this new enterprise are several young men reputed to be live-wire fellows, who have every prospect of meeting with success. . The building boom, which was inaugurated last year in the city and district of Quebec, still continues, and judging from the num- ber and value of contracts awarded, the Quebec building trade is destined to-have a busy season. The only drawback is the shortage of experienced tradesmen and skilled labor in general, a situation © which the labor unions are likely to take advantage of to demand higher wages. How West Coast Business is Coming On Speaking of West Coast conditions, a leading eastern representa-— tive of the B.C. mills stated that stability is the predominating note in the Pacific province market to-day. The upward movement of © lumber prices. has definitely come to a halt. There is, however, sufficient business on the books and enough new business in sight to warrant the market holding reasonably firm throughout the sum- mer. With several markets to draw on, the British Columbia lumber manufacturer is not losing any sleep about getting the business. His problem now is largely one of keeping down costs. Labor, which so largely determines the mill value of forest products, has lately been very restless and has demanded high wages; especially has this been the case of the Washington and Oregon mills where © the I.W.W. flourishes. Cargo business remains heavy. Atlantic Seaboard business has fallen off slightly, but this has been promptly made up by California buying very heavy quantities of West Coast stock. In the foreign countries Japan is the leading buyer. No particular market, how- ever, can be picked out to indicate conditions with the West Coast mills, as their abnormal activity is largely concerned in keeping pace © with the combined demand of all markets. 5 “We find many Ontario retailers afraid of the market. Business — with the retail lumbermen in Eastern Canada has yet to improve con- siderably before it can be called good. This, together with the fact that there is always the odd tramp car selling at ruinous prices, has served to weaken confidence in the lumber market. The merchant, however, who expects lower prices within the near future, or pos- sibly this summer, is likely to be disappointed, as the influences, | which are effecting the market trend, are wide-spread and are not confined to any particular locality,’ he concluded. , Montreal Lumber Trade is Proceeding Cautiously In the Montreal market report of May lst, it was suggested — that the abnormally high building costs in the United States and the — increasing demands of workmen might result in the abandonment of many building schemes in that country. This, it was pointed out, would adversely affect the Canadian lumber trade, the recent activity in which was principally due to orders from across the bor- der. a Advices from New York state that a check has been made in building, that projects running into millions have been either aban- doned or postponed, and there are likely to be further cancellations unless wages come down to a reasonable basis. Labour is receiv-. ing the highest wages on record, the ruling rates being $14.00 to $16.00 per day, with some sections receiving $25.00 per day. Not-_ withstanding these exorbitant rates, there are threats of labour trouble by dissatisfied workmen.

With a shortage of skilled men and with building boom in progress, men have been able to run up wages to an unprecedented height, while the general efficiency has de- creased. : The result of the postponement of work has been, according to Montreal wholesalers, a falling off in orders for lumber. Trade ‘is still good, but if workmen on the other side maintain their present attitude, we may anticipate a considerable decrease in the lumber business with U.S. customers and a cancellation of orders. Such -a condition is bound to be reflected on prices. Local retailers are still buying very cautiously. They, appar- ently, are of the opinion that prices will not hold, and they are not inclined to stock up at present values. They are selling a fair amount of lumber. “There is a good demand for lath, the market being firm. In several parts of the province the drives are backward, owing _ to the late season at which the ice on the lakes broke up. This will add to the expense. There is no let-up in building activity in Montreal—in fact reports from all parts of the province indicate that construction _ work is very brisk. During the first half of May the building per- mits in Montreal constituted a record for that period, totalling ; $1,787,375, the majority of the buildings being dwelling houses. _ Wages are going up slightly but there are reports that labour for _ this class of work is in short supply due to the numbers emigrating 3 to the States where excessive pay is being handed out. : A fair amount of lumber, mainly pine, is being exported from - Montreal to the U.S. A substantial tonnage will be shipped in ; tramps from the lower ports. Part of this was purchased last fall for British account, including the cuts of the St. Maurice Paper Co. and the Wayagamack Company. How Liverpool Market is Keeping Up Timber imports at Liverpool, Eng., were moderate and fair quantities going into consumption. During the past month stocks _ of leading varieties were light but sufficient for immediate require- _ ments, according to the latest circular of Farnsworth & Jardine. The import season is now at hand. General inquiry has increased some- _ what and the tone of the market has slightly improved, which is pos- sibly due to the avoidance of the threatened stoppage in the building trade. Values are unchanged. : In regard to Canadian woods, so far as yellow (white) pine tim- _ ber is concerned, the stocks are not excessive, but they appear suffi- cient for the quiet demand. Other interesting data is as follows —A small parcel of first-class waney pine arrived from the Pacific Coast. Consumption was of a retail character with the result that stocks are - not materially altered. On second-class waney pine there is ‘no noticeable improvement in demand and present stocks are sufficient. There are very few inquiries for square pine (red). So far as Canadian oak is concerned, consumption is disappoint- _ ing and the holdings are ample for the present. The import of elm ~ was about 1000 cubic feet, which went into consumption. Stocks are low and fresh square wood of large dimension is° wanted. The arrivals of pine deals were moderate, and as fair quantities are pass- ing into consumption the stocks have reduced to moderate dimen- sions. Prices are firm. - So far as Canadian spruce is concerned, a fairly steady demand existed, with the result that stocks are reduced and amount to about the same quantity as at this particular period last year. Values have appreciated. There has been an import of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia _ spruce and pine deals to the Mersey, which includes the Manchester q Canal, of 3,710 standards, and although the demand was steady, deliv- eries failed to keep pace and stocks amount to 8,920 standards com- _ pared with 4,650 standards atthe end of April 1922. Shipments by the liners met with a good reception at appreci- ating values throughout the month. Shippers’ prices for f.o.w. deliv- ery remain very firm. There was a limited quantity of ocean ton- - nage seeking engagement at steady rates. Toward the end of April _ exchange rates depreciated. There are practically no stocks of pine _ deals available at Liverpool at the present time. ; An import of 20,000,000 cubic feet of birch logs came to Liver- pool. | Consumption totalled 11,000 cubic feet, being rather disap- _ pointing as stocks have been increased 36,000 cubic feet practically on a par with that held at the same time last year. Recent arrivals have been more difficult to dispose of. ‘The import of birch planks was considerable, amounting to 66,000 cubic feet, of which 51,000 4 cubic feet moved into consumption. ~ Stocks are evenly distributed between Liverpool and Manchester gregating 169,000 cubic feet, ee appears quite sufficient to sup- peeenit requirements. CANADA LUMBERMAN 65 Organized Revolt Against Builders Wages t There is in the United States a threatened revolt against high |” wages and high material cost in building construction. The first movement in this direction was the formation of a committee of 100 prominent bankers, architects, builders and property owners, to work with Secretary Hoover in an effort to stabilize building conditions. The reports of what was said at the meeting, called to appoint this Committee, present vividly the impossible situation which is prevailing. One operator exhibited this picture of the impasse that is developing: In February bricklayers were being paid the regular scale of $10 a day; in March an addition of $1 bonus was demanded; In April, without notice, a demand made for $12 a day; on the same day $13 demanded, and half an hour later the demand increased to $14 a day. Common labor at the same time made a demand for an increase from $7 to $8, and the hoisting engineer raised his price from $10 a day to $12 a day. The reciter of these events concluded: “In 35 years’ experience in the building trade, covering many millions of dollars’ worth of work, I have never b@fore met with such demands under such arbitrary conditions.” Serious Setback to Metropolitan Building A very serious set back in New York building activities is experi- enced in the decision of Justice Tierney of the Supreme Court that tax exemption legislation to relieve the house shortage is unconstitu- tional. Two years ago the New York legislature granted tax exemption for a period of two years to those who would ‘build homes or apart- ments. Attracted by the exemption, more than $150,000,000 was invested in new building with applications for permits for an addi- | tional $30,000,000 worth ‘before the expiration of the exemption period _ on April 1st. 7 The proof that high taxes inevitably means high rents is indi- cated in the effect of Justice Tierney’s decision that this tax exemp- tion is unconstitutional. The proposed building projects have been cancelled and rents have been advanced almost unbelievably through- out the state. / — Enterprising Door Firm Has Grown Rapidly In the Toronto Year Book, which has just ‘been issued for 1923, an appreciative reference appears with respect to the Pannill Door Co., Limited, Toronto. The article states that the Pannill Door Co. was formed in 1919 and has met with signal success. The com- pany are sash and door merchants and carry in stock large quantities of many different types of doors now used exclusively, not only in residences but in public buildings, such as hospitals, office buildings, hotels, schools, etc. The firm claim that they are able to give the ~ contractor or builder doors out of stock with no further notice of time than is required to get the order out and delivered. The firm also buy in very large quantities, in some cases as high ~ as 10,000 doors at a time. It is also pointed out that during the building season the firm employ thirty people to look after their “busi- ness. The staff of salesmen cover Toronto completely and are known personally to about ninety per cent of the builders because they are not only selling doors but, after a sale is effected, they continue to visit their customer checking up continually to see that satisfaction — in the fullest measure has been delivered. The Pannill Door Co. have a permanent exhibit of doors at © their showrooms, 131 Front St. East, Toronto. Such woods as black © walnut, mahogany, figured gumwood, birch, oak, chestnut, pine, fir — 7 and redwood are on display. there at all times. The notice further — F | says “This should appeal favorably to architects and builders jand - the Pannill Door Co. have spared no expense to make it comfortable — re. and attractive. First consideration has always been given to the builder towards saving him time and inconvenience.” . «7a me Quebec Provincial Lumber Receipts Decline The fiscal year for the Province of Quebec will close on June 30. Already several departments are busily engaged in preparing ~ their financial statements and expectations are that the $1,000,000 es surplus mark will again be exceeded this year. The conditions reigning in the lumber industry in the 1921-22 period will affect con- siderably the receipts of the Department of Lands and Forests which © last year reached over $4,000,000 and proved to be a record on any © precedent period. This had meant an increase of over $300,000 over the precedent, and of nearly $1,000,000 on some of the previous years. The financial report of that department is based on the last two | years’ returns and will show decrease of several hundred thousand _ ‘y dollars, it is expected, as a result of the conditions prevailing th ‘oe year and the small quantity of timber cut.

The council believe that this would develop the district which is pulp- _ wood and timber. The Colonial Lumber Company, of Pembroke, Ont., has bought from Mr. John Lumsden valuable timber areas consisting of Kippewa Islands, in Kippewa Lake. As the islands are close to the limits which the company is now operating, and contain a large acreage of good pine and hardwood, the purchase will very materially add to the company’s timber reserves. The Kinnon Lumber Co. who since their organization have had their offices in the Royal Bank Chambers, corner Spadina Ave. and King St. West, Toronto, have removed into much larger quarters in the same building. The company report that ‘business has been exceptionally good with them during the past season and a large turnover in hardwoods is being done. The Ontario Paper Co., who recently acquired extensive limits on the north shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence from the Quebec Government, report that they are making a survey for the location of a new pulp mill but will not do any construction work on the limits in the near future. The company are not adding any buildings to their plant in Thorold during the present year. Knight Bros. Co., Limited, of Burk’s Falls, Ont., started milling operations early in May. They have a heavy cut to get out this year and the output will be about 5,000,000 feet. J. S. Parker, man- ager of the company, says in connection with the proposed improve- ment to their power plant, that they will start work on this about July 1st and it is expected that good progress will be made. : It was stated some time ago that the Singer Mfg. Co., St. Johns, P.Q., had purchased larger timber limits in the province, located back of Fassett, from the Gatineau Company. The new owners, when requested for some information regarding their intention to conduct logging or lumbering operations on the same, stated defi- nitely that they had nothing for publication at the present time. Officials of the International Paper Company have denied reports that the company is involved in negotiations for a merger with Cana- dian interests, which would combine a half dozen plants operating on the St. Maurice River and Quebec. A similar denial was also made by the St. Maurice Paper Company, subsidiary of the Union Bag and Paper Company, which was mentioned in connection with the report. Other companies said to be interested in negotiations were the Laurentide, Belgo Paper Company and the St. Lawrence and Wayagamack Companies. The St. John River Log Driving Co. have started their fifth _ drive on the St. John River to salvage the logs which were carried down the river during the freshet before the booms completely sealed the river at Lincoln, six miles below Fredericton. The St. John River Log Driving Co. say they have no reliable informaton regarding the number of logs which have been carried down the river. The lumbermen of Fredericton, however, estimate the quan- _ tity at 2,000,000 feet. Most of the logs, which are salvaged, are pretty well down the river and are being rafted near St. John. It is understood that an active movement is on foot with a view to establishing hardwood industries in New Brunswick. That _ province possesses considerable stands of valuable hardwood which _have never been exploited, and it is with this end in view that a number of the mill men and limit owners are getting together. They feel that by co-operation and concentration much might be done to increase activity in the hardwood line. It is understood that a num- _ ber of conferences have been held with railways and others con- 4 cerned, and the outcome is awaited with considerable interest. Preiss from Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., state that a careful survey of that district shows 200 townships with a conservative estimate of hardwood timber of 24,000 acres to the township. . A reduction of freight rates on hardwood logs to the Sault over the Algoma Cen- tral, is giving encouragement to several proposed woodworking plants. The by-products can all be disposed of, such as slabs for firewood, etc. One company has a contract for ten years to supply the Ford plant at Detroit with several million feet of hardwood ; umber per annum, all of which makes for much activity in the Sault istrict. eine the coming season, CANADA LUMBERMAN 67 The C.

The Royal Gazette recently contained a proclamation issued by the Minister of Lands and Mines under authority of the Forest Fires Act 1922, in which all forest land in the province of New Brunswick is proclaimed “a protected area” _ with the following regulations: No person may enter upon any forest land after May Ist, 1923, until November 1, 1923, for the purpose of travelling, camping, fish- ing, or picnicing or for other purposes, without first having regis- tered with a local fire warden, councillor, game license vendor, or other person duly authorized, giving his name, dates, and having obtained a registration certificate. Such certificate shall be produced when requested by any fire warden or other authorized person, © provided that the following persons or companies shall not be sub- _ ject to the above regulations, namely: licensees or owners of forest - lands entered upon, or to their employees, or to the fire wardens, fire fighters, land surveyors or to persons accompanied by registered guides or to holders of hunting, fishing, guides or mining licenses. All persons shall when requested by any fire warden show their license and give the above mentioned information regarding their _ stay in the forest. Penalties for non-compliance with the above, not _ less than $10 and not more than $100 or 30 days in gaol. This action is deemed necessary by the Government in a deter- mined effort to prevent a repetition of the immense forest fire dam- age this year resulting from the carelessness or thoughtlessness of those entering the forest on pleasure bent. This regulation was passed last year, but was not enforced on account of the wet season. It is hoped that the registration certificate will bring to the minds of those who enter the woods a greater realization of the value of the forests and the necessity for always being careful of fire. The adoption of the registration certificate is not an attempt by _ the Government to keep people out of the woods and deprive the _ fisherman, the camper or the hunter of his annual vacation. It is _ merely a regulation whereby each individual will be reminded and encouraged to be careful of fire when in the forest. It is in keeping with the extra precautions being taken by private land owners this year, several of whom are placing special patrols to see that no people enter at all. In the past the fire hazard was augmented by tops and brush from logging but to-day this has been increased to hundred-fold by the addition of so much dry, dead material as.a result of the standing timber being killed by the spruce bud worm. Forest fires, which once gain headway this year, cannot be expected to be controlled. The seriousness of the situation can- %t be under-estimated and the owners of forest land as well as the yi —. inhabitants of settlements and towns near extensive areas of forest cannot be too careful. A review of the fire damage in previous years shows that those entering the forest, including the camper, fisherman, picnicer, have caused an average fifty per cent of the total damage—as much as all other causes combined. In 1921, the year of such heavy fire losses, seventy-five per cent was traced to the carelessness of those enter- ing the woods. It is the only serious cause of forest fires which has not been restricted in the past. The settler cannot burn his slash only under regulations as prescribed by law and controlled by the fire warden. Railway companies are not allowed to operate loco- motives which through defective appliances may set a forest fire. Mills and other plants operating near forest land must be equipped with proper screens before being allowed to operate. In this way forest losses from these causes have been greatly reduced, the dam- age from settler’s fires being reduced from 75% of the total damage in 1920 to 1.5% in 1921. But the person entering the woods has not been restricted in any way. He has come and gone as he pleased and, while the majority have been careful of fire, the camp fires neglected or burning tobacco carelessly thrown away has caused an annual loss to forests amounting to hundreds of thousands of dol- lars—a loss which is not replaceable for a century. LONDON CONCRETE MIXERS are built to give continuous service under the most exacting conditions. They do rapid work and produce concrete with low labor cost. LONDON MIXERS are being specified by engineers who know from experience that the first cost of a machine should not be the deciding factor when purchasing equipment. Slow production and break- downs put the contractor out of business. The contractor can rely on the “LON- DON” when profit depends on constant service and rapid production.

I want to grow my own. I have’studied © the woods all my life, and, while I have never read any books on forestry, | have done some tall thinking and studying in the woods themselves. In the last ten years.I have planted fully ten thousand trees on my own place at Kingsville, Ontario, and I just want to say that I consider it one of the most important and satisfying jobs I have ever done. — The last four thousand trees [I got I planted in clay soil where trees wouldn’t grow. This had been proved because another fel-. 7 low’s father, and Uncle Dave, 4 had tried it and found it couldn’t — be done; but my old backwoods — education refused to be discour-- aged. I planted trees in 1915, and although, when planted, they — were no higher than ordinary ~ plants, they are now 15 feet high.” « oat ; 4. CANADA Settling Difficulties in Lumber Sales As long as contracts are entered into and orders given there will be kicks, grievances and cancellations. Some of these are, no doubt, justifiable, some honest, some trifling, some unreasonable and some deceptive. Some are raised fom purely factious motives or on gen- eral principles that it is well to make objection so that the other fellow may give you more than you bargained for or go out of his way to see that your wishes are met and your whims satisfied. ‘This is the attitude which not a few assume. They appear to take special delight in seeing that everybody who caters to their interests is kept on his toes or is kept up in the bit. Whether anything is gained by such a course or not, is doubtful, but there can be no mistaken notion that many complaints arise because the specific terms of the contract are not observed, the grade, widths and thicknesses adhered to, the conditions of payment or ship- ment disregarded, etc., hence some squabble or other misunderstand- ing. Generally speaking, however, when a firm is a legitimate and responsible one and has an honorable record and the one, with whom it does business, is known and esteemed, there is little cause for call- _ ing in an Arbitration Committee, a Bureau of Information or any of the other agencies which seek to settle or adjust points of difference. These bodies serve a useful purpose but, perhaps, their services are too frequently requisitioned. If more attention were given by the customers to the firms from whom they bought, and the latter paid heed to those to whom they sell, there would not be so many complaints regarding non-shipment or non-filling of orders, rejected cars and other pleas and claims for rebates and allowances. Recently the secretary of a lumber association across the line stated that some complaints were being ‘received that customers were arbitrarily refusing to unload and that shippers were arbitrarily delay- ing shipment of orders. In some cases the association had rendered a service in this matter and the question arose whether a nominal charge should be made. It was stated that the organization should hold itself out to render service on either of the two situations to members without charge, except for actual disbursements. It was further declared that there would have to be a limit to this free service, that if the members stated that a shipment was rejected and the association suceeded by letter or telegram in getting the customer to unload the shipment, the free service would end The Superior Automatic Bolter was designed and built especially for Fraser Co’s. Ltd., for use in their lath mills. A feature of this machine is its simplicity, great strength and enormous capacity for hard, continuous work. It will make from 12 to 15 cuts per minute and is ideal for sawing mining lath, bolting round wood for house lath, or bolting white birch for spool bars. The hand lever on the side gives the operator full control of the machine LUMBERMAN a right there; if a subsequent claim arose out of the transaction could be handled either on the basis of a collection claim or arbi tion as the circumstances required. If the service was requested to get a mill to fill the order, the service would stop when the mill made the shipment, and subsequent circumstances would deter- mine the necessity of a collection claim or arbitration. Another thing pointed out was that if such a service was free and the matter hand- led by the Association, it would be a strong inducement to sect re new members. A Canadian member of the Bureau of Information, to wh this matter was submitted, said that a propaganda to encourage n members might be good but otherwise he had not much sympathy with the efforts to look after rejected cars and the non- “shipment « orders. Concerning the former, he said, “Take, for instance, t case of rejected cars. If honorable firms are jointly interested, v cannot see any reason for a patron rejecting a shipment. On other hand, we have known instances where the wholesalers hay misrepresented grades in order to effect a sale and in turn their patron turning the car down. In such cases we think the wholesale should bear the cost of any service that the association may ren« We have seen many flagrant cases of where grades have not been to the mark and the wholesaler has been to blame. Inasmuch honorable firms would not need assistance in this matter, it se to us that a charge should be made, said charge to cease immediate ve after the car had been unloaded. We also think the same pencil) should be applied to the non-shipment of orders.” With the above attitude, many lumbermen will agree. Anothe association is having it announced freely that its members buy fron only legitimate wholesalers and manufacturers, this is going a long way towards relieving misunderstanding, dissension and delay. In closing, it might be stated that the words which appeared i a previous edition of the “Canada Lumberman” under the captio of “How far do you honor contracts,” would not be inappropriate at this point, and here they are,— “The retailer, wholesaler or manu- facturer, who faithfully and loyally carries out his contract, ne though at times it may be at a pecuniary loss to himself, is the gainer in the long run, not only in the matter of earning the good-_ will and consideration of his associates in the trade, but in numerous other ways which are evident to every fair- minded, honest-thinking, square-dealing lumberman.” 7 ie RG oP ST a ~~ = pee x pik, ? , ’ ing, FO. ee eee Pee \ at all times, as to stopping and starting, either forward or backward.

At the beginning of a continuous up-grade, Five Miles in length and varying from 5% to 7%. | THE LINN LOGGING TRACTOR | An engineer, when laying out a railroad line, would never think of run- | ning a grade much over 3%—yet it is an everyday occurrence, during . . the hauling season, for Linn Logging Tractors to haul heavy trains of saw logs or pulp wood up grades as steep as 7%, and to haul smaller . trains up grades as steep as 15%. And to go down sanded hills as steep as 80%. | Pictured above is one of the average ten sleigh trains of the T. S. Wool- | lings & Co. Limited—commencing its long up-grade lug. Picture was ; taken from the tenth sleigh. Trains consisted of ten, 20’ rack sleighs— each sleigh loaded with seven cords, and the tractor carrying four cords. And the Woollings Company moved their 8,000 cords over the entire dis- tance of this seven mile road—in 55 days, and at a gross hauling cost of 5114 cents per cord. This is the fifth of a series of photographs taken in operations in Ontario and Quebec, where Linn Logging Tractors were in operation—the sixth will appear in the June 15th issue of this magazine. ‘“‘Ask the logger who uses one’’ —Logging Department— MUSSENS LIMITED | Philips Place Building : Montreal CANADA LUMBERMAN Fa Adams River Lumber Co. ...... 23% * DaviesimCon mV Ville wei ce eeiee cers 83 Harris Lumber Co., Frank H. . 24 Pink Co.

Arches | woop LL = Boiler Door Arches and Will burn tan bark, hog fuel Jambs -and sawdast efficiently, with up to 60% moisture. The Water or Air cooled Suspension Arch, suspended over a furnace built with incline grates, to prevent the coning of sawdust and refuse material, combined with the automatic feed and drying chamber suspended directly over arch, absorbing the heat from arch roof which removes the required percentage of moisture from the material to be burned. Note that fuel is partly dry before receiving air while passing over dry plate chamber at the lower edges, thence into combustion chamber space over the fuel bed. All ash is removed by stoking grate at the bottom of furnace. All fuel sliding down the incline grates comes in contact with a special draft action, owing to the horizontal air spacing, through the incline gates on either side, the draft currents arrive at a focus of combustion in the centre of the fur- nace, causing the gases and flame to meet and roll towards the edges of dry plates, thus increasing the drying capacity, and thoroughly drying tan bark or fuel which is being burnt. fi 1~e21 Ta ! The blocks in these arches are supported independently of the other, allowing any one brick to be removed and replaced without disturbing any other portion of arch, We specialize in Boiler Settings and Furnace Brickwork and give the benefit of (30) thirty years’ experience.

OF LUMBER A YEAR ’ ; If you work timber tracts from two to ten million feet in size it will pay you many | times over to investigate the CLARK FIVE FOOT BAND MILL. It will saw your —} lumber as cleanly and accurately as larger Band Mills and enables you to have from t 10% to 15% more lumber to sell than if you sawed your logs on a circular mill with its 5/16” to 3/8” saw kerf. It will mean a year’s time from 400,000 to 500,000 feet of lumber which at $25.00 per thousand amounts to almost $15,000 a year with no increase in logging or sawing costs. The slight increase in initial cost over the portable circular mill is greatly offset by the savings effected in a few months’ time. CLARK BROTHERS COMPANY Established 1880 OLEAN — N.Y.

MO. big CANADA LUMBERMAN BUY BRITISH COLUMBIA Red Cedar Shingles The life of a British Columbia Red Cedar Shingle Roof can almost be gauged by the life of the nail with which the shingle is nailed in place. Judging from available data, the average life of the ordinary steel wire nail, which has been in such common use, is only from seven to twelve years. Some wire nails will last longer, depending upon the condition of exposure, climate and similar features, but considering our climate as a whole, at the end of from seven to twelve years a large percentage of wire nails will have rusted either completely through or so extensively that the first strong wind will complete the work. The shingles that have been held in position by such nails are then free to work down, permitting rains or melting snows to leak through and damage the interior of the structure. Examination will disclose that the fibre of the shingle itself is still in perfect condition, and a leaky roof, in the majority of occasions is due entirely to the use of faulty nails, but the average home owner, placed at such inconvenience, will not stop to reason this out and the poor wooden shingle comes in for more unjust abuse. a There are several kinds of nails which experience has proven will give lasting satisfaction, and the wise dealer will advise his customers of these satisfactory nails. A pure zinc shingle nail meets all the demands of durability required. Its principal drawback is its high cost and a slight tendency to bend under careless driving. Galvanized wire nails theoretically are rust proof, and if the galvanized coating is properly applied, and of sufficient thickness, such a nail will last as long as the shingle it holds in place. The life of this shingle roof, properly applied with these nails then is from 40 to 50 years. Pure iron nails, or the old cut or wrought nails are ideal but difficult to secure. Copper nails also constitute a perfect shingle nail. _ a oe ey Timms Phillips & Co., Ltd. | Vancouver Lumber Co., Ltd.

Oldrieve, of St. Thomas, Where he Operates Busy Mill, Sawing Native Hardwoods—Until Recent- ly These Valuable Trees Sometimes Known as Yellow Poplar Were Part of an An- nual Harvest — Last of the Huge Whitewood Logs on Their Way to the Mill “Lumber is the cheapest com- modity in the world to-day con- sidering the money invested in its production, the various pro- cesses of manufacture, the length of time it takes to fell the tree and convert it into dry stock, the number of hands through which it passes, and other considera- tions. which do not require to be enumerated. I am speaking par- ticularly of hardwoods. Lum- bermen must get a better figure for the upper ends in order to break even with the game. The quality of timber is deteriorating and the sources of supply grow- ing more scattered and scarce all the while. The logs are not ea nearly as large as they formerly An were which makes the cost of manufacture heavier. No. 1 com- George A. Oldrieve, mon and firsts and seconds and St. Thomas, Ont. selects are getting proportion- ately less all the while. In maple, elm, basswood, birch and ash, the percentage of F.A.S, is only from 15 to 20 per cent and of selects from one-half to one-third of this amount. No. 3 common runs prac- tically one-third to one-quarter. The sale of inferior grades has been very slow during the past couple of years.” So spoke George A. Oldrieve, of St. Thomas, Ont., who conducts a busy hardwood mill in that city and has for many years bought up timbered farm lands and other property in Elgin and adjoining counties. Mr. Oldrieve is a man who upholds the best traditions of his trade and gives scientific study to the production of his lum- ber. The slabs and edgings are disposed of for fuel and find a ready sale, while the low ends of the hardwoods which he cuts, are worked up into fish box shooks and sold to the fishermen who industriously ply their calling on the shores of Lake Erie. Some seasons as many as 25,000 boxes are turned out by Mr. Oldrieve who is himself inter- ested in the Elgin Fish ‘Company. At Plum Point, on Lake Erie, the company conduct pound net-fishing, capturing herring, pickerel, whitefish, perch and other varieties. Mr. Oldrieve is not a fisherman, fond as he is of the sport, but at heart and by training and heredity a lumberman. His native place is Glencoe, being a son of John Oldrieve, for many years a suc- cessful sawmill man, who operated a plant at Glencoe until the sur- rounding timber was all cut up. When young Oldrieve went to school he frequently took charge of a tally book after hours and got to like the business. When he left home his first job was selling He then returned and bought the sawmill of A. McKillop & Sons at Wallacetown, Elgin County, which he operated for four or five years. Then as the timber would not come to him, he decided to get nearer the growths of basswood, elm, hard and soft maple and beech by removing the plant to St. Thomas where he acquired a site of several acres of land at the corner of Redan and Inkerman Sts. This was in 1916 and Mr. Oldrieve’s mill has been kept busy ever since cutting up the woods already named, along with a sprinkling of oak and hickory which are, however, growing scarce. The plant has good railway connec- tion a G. T. R. siding running right into the yard. Handling the Product at the Mill Mr. Oldrieve’s mill is a two-storey structure, 30 x 70 feet, and the cutting capacity is about 25,000 feet a day. The logs are brought to the yard from farms in South-Western Ontario by-railway cars and motor trucks, being cut in 12, 14 and 16 foot lengths. In the yard the logs, some of which are 30 to 40 inches in diameter, are drawn to the pit at the foot of the jack ladder, or haul-up, by stone boat in the early spring days, and at other times by a log truck which is a rather unique vehicle, travelling on wheels 12 inches wide and with a platform only 12 inches from the ground. The logs are easily rolled on this low conveyance. At the bottom of the haul-up the logs are dumped on a car which ascends from the pit by means of a chain pull operated by a lever. Arriving in the mill the logs are rolled on a convenient deck and from there go on to the catriage, a nigger operated by friction assisting in the operation. The carriage, which is of Waterous build, is capable of accom- modating timber up to 30 feet in length. It has hand set works with friction drive and three head blocks equipped with recede spring control. One feature of the well-lighted mill is that every part of the equipment is electrically driven by individual motors, Hydro power being used. The circular saws are driven by 75 h.p. motor. The Loading by means of gin pole, block and tackle, a car of hardwood logs for the Oldrieve sawmill at St, Thomas, Ont, j rk 26 CANADA LUMBERMAN 2 The last of the whitewood logs in Dunwich Township, Elgin County, being conveyed to the Oldrieve sawmill in St. Thomas. -_ = Z These huge specimens were recently converted into lumber and no more whitewood trees are available in Southwestern Ontario lower saw is 58 inches in diameter and the upper, which is used in cutting up exceptionally large logs, is 44 inches across. Both inserted and solid tooth saws are used. Mr. Oldrieve personally looks after the sawing end, as he believes that by a close scrutiny of the timber and expert cutting, as head sawyer he can effect a considerable saving. He is also an experienced cruiser and when he buys a bush, he has a good knowledge of what timber it contains and about how many feet he will be able to get out of the tract purchased. The Last Whitewood Logs Sawn One kind of timber, of which the last specimens were lately sawn in the mill of Mr. Oldrieve, is what is known as whitewood (yellow poplar). The logs were obtained from Dunwich township, near Dutton, and measure from 36 to 44 inches in diameter. This timber which has a deep heavy, V-shaped bark, is the only tasteless wood known. Whitewood lumber has been used for many years by con- fectioners, bakers and others for the production of receptacles and utensils employed in connection with their products as it imparts no taint to the contents. Now that the supply of whitewood in Western Ontario is virtually exhausted, it is stated that some con- cerns, such as the Fletcher Mfg. Co., Glencoe, who for years have bought large quantities of whitewood from Mr. Oldrieve, may have to fall back on American poplar. Accompanying this reference is shown a photograph of some large whitewood logs which were taken out last winter by Mr. Oldrieve. In reference to whitewood, Mr. Oldrieve remarks that in the early days of Elgin County it was used extensively in building and made the finest sash for houses, verandah posts, etc. The durability of the lumber was wonderful. It was also employed largely for interior finish, as years ago nearly all inside woodwork was grained. Whitewood would stay in place and took paint very well. For store shelving or drawers in any furniture, nothing better than whitewood was ever known in that section of Ontario, and it was about the first timber along Lake Erie that a mill man could sell in the Ameri- can market. In the early days they exported it to England in the form of square timber. Plant Driven Entirely by Electricity But to return to operations at the sawmill—the slabs from the logs go to the slab saw which is run by a 15 h.p. motor. The boards, which require edging, are transferred to a one saw edger which is conveniently located and run by a 10 h.p. motor. Another motor of the same power runs a 26 inch swing trim saw. All the lumber which does not require edging, goes direct to the lumber car at the north end of the mill. The slabs are cut, mostly in 12 inch lengths and deposited into a dump car which serves as a hopper. When the car is filled it is run down a track and, with revolving sides and bottom, is soon released of its contents, and returned to its starting point by means of a chain pull. It may be stated here that, not only is a large busi- ness done in slabs, which are sold for $3.00 a load delivered, but considerable cordwood is also. disposed of. In logging operations trees, that are unfit for lumber, and large limbs are brought in. By means of a butting saw they are cut up into Wood during the past win- various lengths for fuel consumption. was in active demand in St. ter, owing to the scarcity of coal, Thomas. Converts Low Ends into Fish Box Shooks No. 3 common hardwood lumber, for which there has not been much demand except at very low prices during the past two years, is converted by Mr. Oldrieve into fish box shooks of the thickness of % inch. Each regulation fish box in 32 inches long, or 40 inches including the handles, 10 inches deep and 18 inches wide. The work of cutting out the bottoms is done by means of a sizing saw, with gauger bar. Any width can be cut from 234 inches to 10 inches. For the tops and bottoms of the boxes several pieces of thin lumber may be used from 4 up to 10 inches in width. Many thousands of box shooks are turned out each year and a rapidly-growing trade in > this line has been developed. For delivering wood two Ford trucks are used while for haul- ing logs from the country to the mill a large Acason truck and trailer is brought into service. Mr. Oldrieve disposes of his lumber principally through whole- salers except some special lines, such as the whitewood, already spoken of, which is sold directly to confectionery and bakery equip- ment firms. Much of the lumber obtained from whitewood is 22 inches wide and sawn 1% inch in thickness. The trees grow to a height of 50 to 80 feet. ‘ There are about seventy factories in South-Western Ontario using» hardwood Jumber for various articles and thus the demand is reasonably steady: and; conservative. Mr. Oldrieve is anenthusiastic lumberman and a live citizen of St. Thomas.: He is a member of the Executive of the Chamber of Commerce and: took an active: part: in the ““Made-in-St. Thomas Exposition” which was held over a year ago, with splendid results. (Continued on page 59) ig Ak Ns A a a age ae At the suggestion of the Montreal Lumber Association, the Mon- treal Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association, and the Montreal Retail Lumbermen’s Association, the Canadian Lumbermen’s Asso- ciation convened a conference at Ottawa on May 31, to consider the Sales Tax in its relation to lumber industry, and the advisability of making further representations to the Government. Those who were primarily responsible for the conference believed that an effort should be made to agree upon some scheme which would represent the views of, at any rate, the majority of those interested in the lumber industry.

The conference, which lasted the entire day, was presided over by A. C. Manbert, (Canadian General Lumber Co., Toronto). The delegates discussed the Sales Tax from many angles and examined schemes other than the one proposed by Mr. Fielding, going into details as to how they would work out. The representatives critic- ized the proposed licensing scheme as likely to prove costly and as too involved for smooth running. One suggestion that failed to meet with approval, was to the effect that the 6% be levied on sawn lumber as it leaves the mill and on all importations of lumber. As this lum- ber is absorbed or incorporated into a further manufactured article, an additional 6% be paid by the manufacturer of that article, who, however, is to be allowed, in computing the Sales Tax to the Gov- ernment, to deduct the amount of the 6% tax on the cost of the raw material. The Government will thus receive 6% on the finished manufactured product. The conference held that the system was ‘too complicated and was not suitable for the lumber trade. Consideration of Mr. Bock’s Proposal The representatives also considered the proposal put forward by Mr. J. S. Bock, and referred to on another page. This, briefly, was that the mill pay the tax, passing it on to the wholesaler or consumer as a separate charge. No further tax is to be paid except where the name and nature of the commodity is changed by re-manufacture, when a further tax will be collectable. Under this plan, no tax will be payable on sashes and doors and on milled and dressed lumber. Other delegates strongly urged that the Government be asked \ to allow the tax to remain as at present—3% collected at the mill, 2. chargeable to the wholesaler as a separate item. Ultimately, it was ~~ decided to approach the Government with a request to this effect, the plan proposed by Mr. Bock being adopted as an alternative. The following committee was appointed to wait on Mr. Fielding and put the proposal of the conference before him: Messrs. Manbert, McLennan, Bock, Dupuis, Eckardt, Barrett, Ross, Day, Rutherford and Hawkins. The deputation saw Mr. Fielding in the evening, Mr. Manbert speaking on behalf of the members. The Minister of _. - Finance was. non-committal, but stated that he was open to sug- ___ * gestions. He further stated that if the deputation desired to further argue their case they might see Messrs. R. R. Farrow, Deputy 7 ‘fae ‘ CANADA LUMBERMAN Pe ~ Lumbermen Wish Sales Lax Act Simplified Influential Delegation Visits Ottawa and Presents Strong Memorandum— Character of Lumber Business is Entirely Different Minister of Customs and Excise, and J. A. Russel, of the Finance Department. The committee met next morning and deputed Messrs. Manbert, McLennan and Hawkins to see these gentlemen. They accordingly did so, and reiterated the arguments placed before Mr. Fielding. The. main contentions of the deputation are summarized in the following memorandum, which has been submitted to Mr. Fielding. The Memorandum to Mr. Fielding As directed by you, the committee representing the vari- ous branches of the lumber trade in the Dominion rehearse herein in brief the representation verbally made to you re- garding the proposed changes in the Sales Tax Act. We understand that these changes are inspired by the following considerations. (1) A wish to simplify the enforcement. (2) A determination not to increase the total revenue from the Sales Tax. : We are in entire sympathy with both of these attitudes but after careful investigation we find that the proposed Act as applied to these, in respect to the lumber trade is posi- tively inoperative. We recognize that as an abstract pro- position the theory of taxing at the source is plausible and appealing. We realize that there may be certain’ trades which approximate very nearly an ideal condition ‘for enforcement, a condition wherein the various stages in pro- ductive, procedure and distribution are regular and orderly in practice, and definite and conclusive at the various stages; further, that these conditions are common, simple and uniform in the habit of that trade. To illustrate; in the shoe trade the steps are from tanner to the manufacturer and then to the retailer, either through a jobber or direct. The article is complete when it leaves the manufacturer and no further changes, remanufacture, alteration or partition can be possible. The character of the lumber business is entirely differ- ent. No two boards are exactly alike. Wide variations in value come out of the same log. Two boards may come out of a log, one worth $200.00 and the other $10.00 per thou- sand. The practices in distribution of these products are varied and complex. The agencies are equally so. The saw- mill manufacturer may be a wholesaler and a retailer as well; a primary manufacturer may be also a retailer and a sec- ondary manufacturer; a wholesaler may be both retailer and secondary manufacturer as well. Would Lead to General Mix-up We understand that, under the proposed Act, an article which is further manufactured and on which a tax has already been paid must maintain its identity in respect to the tax so paid to provide for adjustments by way of refund. This is impossible in the lumber business. A unlicensed wholesaler may buy from a mill, a mill run cut at an average price which he may take to a yard and afterwards assort into various grades. He may repeat this procedure from other manufacturers wherein the prices will differ according to the mill run average, or from some other wholesaler who will sell parts of his mill purchase on other basis of prices. Out of the assorting of these purchases, - he may accumulate one pile or carload of a certain grade. , He may sell or ship the best 80% of this accumulated grade to a piano manufacturer or a furniture manufacturer who will use the article in various ways in his processes. This simple illustration will readily demonstrate that it is impossible to determine what tax was orginally paid on this lumber. This is but one of the countless illustrations which can be given of practices which are common in kind though varied in degree, but which can hardly be understood or imagined by one who is not conversant with the regular technique and practice of the trade. We can show by these illustrations that the course of lumber from log to ultimate consumer is probably more varied, irregular and complex than that of any commodity and that, in its distributive experience, the product of a log. is constantly being arbitrarily divided, reclassified, partially remanufactured and all in general adjustment to a range of — : BS is } ; . | t costly, unworkable and unfair. use which is probably wider than that of any other commodity. Continue the Tax Now in Force We can abundantly prove by illustration that exact ful- filment of the proposals of the new Act is absolutely impos- sible. To even approximate them will involve a tremendous amount of added cost in administrative expense on the indus- try; will involve calculations and executive determinations that will be embarrassing and restrictive in trade procedure and that will entail added expense and annoyances upon the Government in administrative rulings and enforcement. We, therefore, appeal to you most earnestly to abandon the proposal and to continue the Act now in force. The The B.C. Wholesalers’ Lumber & Shingle Association have sent a communication to Mr. Fielding heartily approving the stand taken that the present sales tax be left unaltered, and stating, in their opin- ion, the new tax and method of collecting the same will be very The Western wholesalers do not sell 50 per cent. of their sales to licensed manufacturers or other licensed firms. They would, therefore, be absolutely unable to com- pete with the mills or licensed wholesalers selling to such licensed manufacturers. Should Collect from Manufacturers The following is a copy of a letter sent to Mr. Fielding by the Secretary of the Montreal Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association. “T am directed to forward a copy of the following resolu- tion passed by the members of our Association— After a careful study of the proposed Tax Act, the Mon- treal Wiholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association are of opinion that the operation of the lumber business under the system of licensed and unlicensed wholesale and retail dealers and manufacturers is so full of difficulties as to be inoperative; and we suggest that this feature be eliminated from the Act, and that instead it be made to read that the sales tax decided upon shall be collected from the sawmill manufacturers, by separate charge on all invoices for lumber sold for use in Canada. Also that no further tax be imposed on rough or manufactured lumber used for building purposes.” What Retailers Would Like to See The following is the resolution passed by the Montreal Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association, and sent to Mr. Fielding: “Realising the fact that it is the desire of the Govern- ment to change the taxation in force at present, it will be agreeable to our Association that the Government make a tax of 6% on the lumber business, and that the said tax be collected at the source of production either on the purchase price or as a separate item on the producer’s invoice. As the largest part of our members are doing a dual business, that is a retail lumber yard and a sash and door factory in con- nection, using the same administration for both departments, they being under the same supervision and same book-keep- ing system, it would place us to heavy expense and a lot of inconvenience if a further tax is imposed on the re-manu- facturer. Our association desires to place itself on record to our Government that whatever tax they impose on lumber be collected at the source of production.” Sales Tax Plan Which is Simple The Montreal correspondent of the “Canada Lumberman” writes: The Sales Tax has been the subject of caustic criticism by repre- sentatives of many industries, particularly in relation to the method of collection, which is so complicated that there are still doubts as te how it will work out. The Finance and Customs Departments at Ottawa have naturally received protests, both verbal and written, by those affected by the scheme, the main ground being that the regu- lations will involve needless expense to the country and to those who have to pay the tax. These regulations are so framed as to call for the employment of an army of Government servants and a large clerical force by the tax-payers. The regulations are, in fact, very complicated, and were evidently drawn up by men who know little or nothing about the practical side of business life. Some of the industries have submitted amendments and counter- plans, with a view to simplifying the proposed method of collection. Mr. J. S. Bock, of the Eagle Lumber Company, and the chairman of 38 CANADA LUMBERMAN a ? ey the Government and be shown by the manufacturers as a Government has announced that it does not intend to increase taxation. This proposal even if workable would lay a heavy and added burden upon the lumber business directly and indirectly. A fundamental canon in economic thought within the British Empire is the freest possible access to raw materials essential to the key industries of the country. The welfare of Canada is peculiarily concerned in the devel- opments of her natural resources. Lumber is one of the greatest of these. We make these representations to you not from pride of opinion nor partisan preference. ‘They are made only because of absolute necessity. We must have relief from- the announced intentions. Westerners Want Sales Tax Left Unaltered the Montreal Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association, has suggested a scheme which, at least, has the merit of simplicity. It is not per- fect, but then, it is almost impossible to devise a plan dealing with _ taxes of this character which is not open to some objection.’ Mr. Bock’s proposal has special reference to the lumber trade. His idea is that a mill should pay the tax of 6% and pass this on as a separate charge to the wholesaler or other customer. When the lumber is re-manufactured in a form which involves a change in the name and nature, an additional tax will be payable. For example, should lumber be converted into furniture the mill will pay 6%, and the furniture manufacturer an additional tax on the total cost of the finished product. The objection to the scheme is that the tax is paid twice,—once by the mill man on the raw material, and again by the furniture manufacturer on the finished product. The Government will thus be receiving a double tax, although part of it will only be on a portion —the raw material—of the finished commodity. The principal argument in favour of the plan is that the tax will be easily collected, and that the cost to the Government and to those who pay the tax will be very small in comparison with that, under Mr. Fielding’s proposal. The amount saved will offset the double tax payable by the re-manufacturers of lumber. Lumber which undergoes dressing and milling, sashes and doors, will be excluded from the additional tax, being classified as raw material. The essential point of the plan is that no second tax is chargeable unless the lumber is re-manufactured so as to be a dif- ferent commodity. Mr. Bock’s scheme has, at any rate, all the elements of a workable plan, free from many of the serious draw- backs of Mr. Fielding’s regulations. Montreal Wholesalers Talk Over Tax The Sales Tax was the main subject for discussion at the monthly meeting of the Montreal Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association held recently, at the Mount Royal Hotel, under the presidency of Mr). ; 3.) Bock, The subject arose out of a conference held in Montreal between wholesalers and retailers to consider this matter, and also out of a letter received from Mr. R. P. Shannon, president of the British Columbia Wholesalers Lumber and Shingle Association. The British Columbia Association is in favour of the tax being paid by the mill, Mr. Shannon pointing out that, under the Government scheme, the cost of collection is likely to be excessive. His own view was that the Governement should collect the tax in all cases from the source except where the lumber was sold to a manufacturer for re-working, and the Government desired the tax on the manufactured value of the ultimate product. The discussion was taken part in by the chairman, Messrs. A. Campbell, Page, Rolland, A. J. Smith, and others. The chairman remarked that, under the scheme as proposed by the Government, the tax would be very costly to collect, and would also involve a considerable expense on the part of firms who paid the tax, inasmuch as it would involve additional trouble, book-keeping, ete. He sug- gested another method which he believed would work out more satis- factorily, as it was not of such a complicated character. It was that the mills should pay the tax of 6%, and that a further 6% should be paid when the lumber was re-manufactured into such articles as pianos, furniture, etc. Such lumber as was required for construction purposes would be exempt from this additional 6%. This scheme involved the tax being paid on the raw material, and again on the finished commodities, but he held that, in the end, the proposition ~ would prove more practical than the Government plan, and would save money, both in collection and to the firms concerned. After all, - the public would have to pay eventually. The following resolution was passed: ‘“‘This meeting is of opinion - c y : : _ moditiy, when a further tax be paid. that the Sales Tax of 6% should be paid by the saw-mill manufac- turers, and that no further tax be paid except in the case where the process of re-manufacture changes the name and nature of the com- It is understood that the dress- ing and milling of lumber, as provided in the present law, is not to be considered as changing its nature.” The names of Messrs. Buchanan, C. Villiers, and A. H Camp- CANADA LUMBERMAN 39 bell were added to the Entertainment Committee to make arrange- ments for the proposed golfing tournament, for which a cup has been offered by the “Canada Lumberman.” A letter was received from the Province of Quebec Retail Lum- ber Dealers’ Association on the subject of the relations between wholesalers and retailers, and it was decided to arrange a conference between the two associations at an early date. Why Lumber Cannot be Adjusted to New Tax A. C. Manbert, who along with A. E. Eckardt, was the repre- sentative from Toronto at the conference of lumber manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers held in Ottawa on June Ist, which passed a unanimous resolution urging the Minister of Finance to abandon the proposed new sales tax and continue the act now in force, has sent an important communication to Mr. Fielding on behalf of the deputation. ‘The letter explains how involved and intricate the pro- posed new sales tax is and outlines specifically some of the diffi- culties which would be found in giving the new measure practical application. Mr. Manbert presents the situation in a clear and con- vineing manner and the subjoined letter will well repay a perusal. Toronto, June 7th, 1923. Mon we ss rieldine L.L.D., DiC.L., Minister of Finance, Ottawa. Sir:—We crave your further consideration. It is so highly important that you possess an intimate knowledge of the fea- tures which make the proposed Sales Tax unworkable in the lumber trade, that we venture added illustrations to supple- ‘ment our interview of May 3lst and letter of June lst. These illustrations are not exceptional, but are typical of daily and continuous procedure. To this end. we will set forth various parties regularly concerned in the trade, show- ing their status. We will present 'the conditions under which business would originate at the source of primary produc- tion, and we will give a few illustrations of the working out of various transactions. “Characters” —— Gordon & Co., Lumber Manufacturers, Licensed.

Gordon & Company, (Licensed Mfrs.) sell to Union Lumber Company, (Unlicensed Wholesale). 1,000,000 ft. “Mill Run” at an aerage price of $50.00. This stock is graded and piled as it comes from the mill, as follows: Good Sides, worth, say, $135.00. ee Cuts} worth say, $90.00. ~ Common and Dressing, according to different widths. Box, worth say, $35.00—$42.00, according to different $45.00-—$60.00, worth say, widths. In reality there are many more sub-divisions, or “grades,” but the foregoing are the principal ones. Gordon & Company, (Licensed Mfrs.) sell to Laidlaw Lumber Company 1,000,000 ft. Culls at an average price of $25.00. This stock is likewise graded as it is piled. 10x 12” No. 1 Culls, worth say, $36.00; Sidings No. 1 Culls, worth say, $32.00; 10 x 12” No. 2 Culls, worth say, $25.00; Sidings No. 2 Culls, worth say, $20.00; Promiscuous No. 3 Culls, worth say, $12.00. In the case of Union, the Sales Tax is either charged or added in the price; in the case of Laidlaw, it is “Passed on” under license. “Tllustrations” No. 1—Union (Unlicensed) sells Barton Lumber & Supply Company (Unlicensed) 1x 4”Common and Dressing. Tax was paid (or dealt with) at source. No further Tax. This is an ideal operation. No. 2—Union (Unlicensed) sells Aitchison (Licensed) 1 car Good Sides at say $135.00. Aitchison assorts say as follows: Best 80% for Special Pattern Trade. This goes into “Stock” and it may be two years before it will all have been sold out, depending upon the activity of his trade. Poor 20% for his manufacturing dept. This last lot being “liners” and close in value to “Cuts” (the next grade poorer)) which he usually buys for his manufacturing dept., he piles upon “Cut” piles for economy of yard room. The identity of this 20% will be merged into’ other stock and lost, but ultimately it will doubtless be used in manufactur- ing dept. although some portion of it might be sold manu- factured. Assuming that Aitchison uses the poorest of it to make into “Trim” and the best of it to make store or office ‘Fittings,’ how will the Tax “rebatable” be arrived at to reduce manufacturer’s cost, and to avoid pyramiding? The best 80% or some portion of it he sells to International Harvester Company (Licensed). The best of this, they put into “Harvesters’—the poor end into patterns, or “vice versa.” The portion going into machines will collect a Tax from purchaser and will be subject to rebate. The other portion may conceivably be ruled to be a part of manufac- turing expense, like coal, oil, etc. The lumber originally paid Tax on basis of $50.00 Per M’. How will this be dealt with considering the different price at which it was sold to Aitchison and the redivisions in his or subsequent hands? No. 3—Union (Unlicensed) sells to Ontario Box Co. 1 x 6” Box (out of same lot) at say $35.00. Tax has of course been paid on this lumber at average price of $50.00. Laidlaw (Licensed) ) also sells Ontario Box Co. 1 x 4” and up No. 1 Culls at say, $32.00. Tax has not been paid on this. Ontario Box sorts 6” out of Laidlaw purchase and with the 1 x 6” from Union Stock, makes boxes for Wood, Alexander & James, who pay Tax. Ontario Box Company is entitled to rebate on such stock at once from Union, but clearly not at $50.00 (the price on which Tax paid by Union was based). No. 4—Aitchison (Licensed) makes Sash from “Tax paid” stock. He sells to Graves, Bigwood & Company (Licensed) who must therefore collect Tax when sold. Graves, Bigwood & Company, retail to consumers ; how trace the Tax back to Union Lumber Company? As suggested before, these illustrations are not strained or unusual. They are regular and in varied forms, common and inevitable in trade practice. They rest upon the fact that every board has an individuality which inspires regard- ing and manipulations at the hands of every agent through whom it travels to its ultimate use. We sincerely hope that you will be good enough to understand that the lumber trade does not cavil at difficul- ties which can be overcome. Its objection is that the lumber business rests on fundamentals which cannot be adjusted to the new proposals of the Sales Tax. We do not attempt in this to touch upon the doubtful policy of doubling the Tax on lumber to the detriment of the building industry and the settlement proposals in the West, in which lumber plays such an important part. The subject presents a vast array of objections which we cannot te elaborate and properly emphasize and keep this letter within modest limits. We do, however, place ourselves at your disposal for inquiry and information. We are loath to believe that in the face of opposition which has such genuine justification, you will enact legislation that will be so totally unfortunate and fruitless of good. / I have the honor to be Sir, Your obedient Servant, A. C. Manbert. [ae — 4b CANADA LUMBERMAN re Deepening River Channel to Float Logs Dredging operations on the north bank of the Pottawattamie River have been in progress for the past few weeks and already a large amount of sand and mud deposited on the bottom of the river has been brought up and placed on the bank. The work is being done by the John Harrison & Sons Co., Limited, Owen Sound, Ont., who are large land owners in that district. The main purpose of the dredging is to provide a channel for the logs to be floated up the river to the company’s sawmill a number ar hundred feet from the mouth. Last season a retaining wall of sheet piling was built for a thou- sand feet from the mouth of the river east to the breakwater, and when this was completed, the whole south side of the river was dredged, and the mud was placed behind the piling. This spring work on the north side commenced at the railway bridge over the river, and is being continued for a considerable distance right out to deep water. The river is being dredged to a depth of about five feet, and will allow the logs to be floated up the stream without any difficulty.

Gerard Power, president of the W. & J. Sharples, Limited, ‘the St. Pacome Lumber Co., and an American auxiliary company, with head offices in New York City, recently organized a new company known as the Bridge- water Lumber Co., of which he is also president, to build a mill at Cape Rouge in close vicinity to the Quebec bridge, to saw and dress lumber for the American market. This mill, which will ‘be equipped with modern machinery, will be ready for operation in the course of July, when the logs to keep it going will be transported from the Power limits by the various railways crossing the Quebec bridge from the south shore, and after being made into sawn lumber, © exported to the United States. The depletion of the United States forests by cutting and fire during the last several decades, has obligated the American lumber interests to turn to Canada these days for their supply. ‘The selec- tion of the site on the heights, in close touch with the Quebec bridge to meet the emergency connection of all American railways, is regarded as an ideal location for a lumber mill. It will not only have the best of railway facilities, but will also mean the revival of activities along the St. Lawrence waterfront and cove. In the establishment of this industry, Mr. Power organized a new company, the directors of which are W. Gerard Power, president and managing-director; T. P. McCarron, vice-president, and treas- urer; P. J. McGoldrick and John J. Power, directors; J. H. Tugere, secretary and director, and J. H. DesRoches, manager. The latter formerly held the same position with the Atkinson and Gravel firms at St. Romuald, and the Big River Lumber Co. in Saskatchewan, and more recently with the Power Lumber Co. and the River Ouelle Lumber Co. The Power Lumber Co., which has met with such unqualified stuiccess since its formation in 1920, to succeed the River Ouelle Com- pany, (which was organized by W. Gerard Power in 1902 and later was absorbed iby the Power Lumber Co.,) produces 20,000,000 feet of lumber every year, from which 75 to 80 per cent. is exported to the United States. Heavy Demand For Lath Equipment The E. Long Mfg. Co., of Orillia, Ont., state that they have been busy all year turning out sawmill machinery. There has been a very large demand for lath equipment in all parts of the country, and the firm have made two large shipments of this class of machinery to the Horwood Lumber Co., St. John’s, Newfoundland. The new sawmill of the Mageau Lumber Co., Field, Ont., recent- ly started running and is now operating steadily. The principal equpment consists of an 8-foot double cutting band, a 40-inch heavy duty carriage with steam set works and a new type, heavy duty, centre, drive’ gang edger, together with lath manufacturing equip- ment’ eomplete, all of which was supplied by the E. Long Mfg. Co. if. A feature ‘of the shipment of lumber to the United States these © During the past month or six weeks all the cars needed were available and. by the middle of June all the wood ordered last winter from the Quebec mills will be transported across. the border, and still orders are pouring in from the Ainerican market, and the Quebec district mills are now EEN “poate to meet the demand. Juniper CANADA LUMBERMAN 44 Linn Tractor at work in dead of winter on operation of Austin & Nicholson at Esher, Ont. New Ontario Firm Cuts Cost in Log Haulage It is the aim of the “Canada Lumberman” to print from time to time interesting data that it is able to obtain from Canadian operators in connection with mill and woods activities—articles that will tend to enable the lumberman to reduce his operating costs in the bush, on the drive or in the mills. The intention is to present on the editorial pages details which are gathered from various parts of Eastern Canada. Believing that it is appropriate at the present juncture the “Can- ada Lumberman” is dealing, in this issue, with the haulage problem in the woods. As a basis for the article, first-hand information has been received from one of the most practical and widely known lum- bermen in Ontario. This gentleman is George B. Nicholson, presi- dent of Austin & Nicholson, Limited, of Chapleau, Ont., who has been engaged in the lumber business for nearly a quarter of a century. His firm operates mills at Nicholson, Dalton and Devon, Ont., and are extensive producers of rough and dressed lumber, lath, railway ties, pulpwood, etc. Mr. Nicholson has devoted considerable attention to logging operations, costs and output, and his firm installed a Linn Logging Tractor last Fall in their operations Southwest of Esher, Ont., with the result that they have effected a great saving in their haulage costs by this tractor under the cost by horses during the past season. In a recent interview Mr. Nicholson confessed that he had been studying for years the question of using some mechanical means to lessen the cost of logging operation, and during that period had investigated many different types of tractors. Steam log haulers at one time promised to be an effective instru- ment for this purpose, but conditions prevailing involved the hauling of logs across marshes and small lakes and made it extremely diffi- cult and very expensive to build a road on which steam log haulers or other heavy tractors could be operated. Last year, after careful consideration and thorough investigation, Austin & Nicholson put in their operations Southwest of Esher, a Linn Logging Tractor, operated by a 4-cylinder gasoline engine, developing approximately 90 h.p. The total weight of this machine is approximately 10,000 Ibs. To put this in operation they equipped their ordinary logging sleighs with a patent casting on the nose of the runners and a gudgeon in the ends of the rollers and cross chain from gudgeon to rear bunk of sled. The method operated was to employ teams to take the sleighs in on the side or branch roads, where the skidways were located, load the sleighs in the usual way with jammers and forward the logs with teams out to the main road where the tractor made up the trains and hauled them to the dump. It required about a minute to change the roller so that the team could take the sleigh and leave the loaded sleigh for the tractor. The time required for the tractor to couple up a train of from five to ten loaded sleighs, was about five minutes. The road over which this tractor operated was the usual iced road that would nominally be provided for horse haulage, and was, at the extreme length of the tractor haul, seven miles in length, the average distance being about five miles. The number of logs transported by the tractor last winter was 126,000 pieces of jack pine and spruce; these logs being 16 feet in length. The cost of operating the tractor, including two operators and two men to assist in coupling the sleighs, etc., gasoline, oil and depreciation on the machine, was in round figures $65.00 per day. On the operations last season the tractor replaced fifteen teams of horses. Will Save Operator Much Money Mr. Nicholson declared that he did not mean to suggest they got 100% efficiency out of the machine on this operation. In fact, he says he knows they did not. Their method of loading was slow and they had some difficult pitches in their side road which required the use of trace teams to forward out the loaded sleighs and, therefore, the tractor was idle each day a considerable length of time due to the fact that sleighs were not brought out with sufficient speed. It was an experiment with Austin & Nicholson and they were testing as many ways as they could to see what could be that done with the machine. \ 9 9 “We were,” continued Mr. Nicholson, “to speak frankly, a little apprehensive, owing to our having a fairly large quantity of logs to — | convey a long distance, and not caring to take any chances. The result generally has been to convince us that in an ordinary logging operation where the main haul is three miles or over in length, a Linn Logging Tractor will save the operator a substantial sum of money. Our purpose is to develop it so that it will do the snow ploughing and tanking as well as log hauling, and it may be that we will use a tractor on our side or branch roads as well as on the miain roads.” “As against horses, taking into account wages, feed and depreci- ation, we figure that we saved $75.00 every day that the tractor worked, and we are confident that it is capable of much better results with a little more experience in its operation.” Mr. Nicholson went on to say that his maximum loads during” the season (and his hauling season extended from about January 20th to March 20) consisting of a ten sleigh train with 1004-16 ft. _ jack pine logs. He estimated the weight of the load, including sleighs, to be approximately 250 tons. This load was hauled over a distance of six miles and, on four of these miles, it had a dead lug | ot 414%, yet it never hesitated in moving this wood from the time it started until it reached the dump. He further said that it is his ambition next year, with this one tractor, over the same haul, to move an average of 4000 logs per day of ten hours. This is equiva- lent to 1000 logs per train on a four trip day. -_- 42 , CANADA LUMBERMAN Gigantic Industry for Pert of Montreal The first consignment of a total of 40,000,000 feet of British Columbia forest products to be brought to Montreal during 1923 by the water route (via the Panama Canal), reached the Canadian commercial metropolis recently when the steamer “Heathfield” arrived in port. The shipment was made by Knox Bros. Limited, of Vancouver, to the British Empire Lumber Corporation, Limited, of Montreal. The latter firm have just completed the erection of a huge timber shed, planing mill and cutting-up plant at Bickerdike Pier at a heavy outlay. The British Empire Lumber Corporation, of which J. B. Knox, of Montreal, is president, plan to furnish eastern consumers with B. C. lumber on only a few days’ notice instead of several months which it formerly required when the product was shipped direct to the consumer from the Pacific Coast. In the last issue of the “Canada Lumberman” on page 3 a splen- did picture of the SS “Heathfield” which was the first steamer this season to unload B.C. wood products in Montreal, was shown with a cargo of 5,000,000 feet of Douglas fir timbers, fir and pine lumber. It is anticipated that about 40,000,000 feet will reach Montreal this season by the water route, eight vessels being engaged in the ser- vice. The distance from Vancouver to Montreal by way of the Panama Canal is some 8,000 miles, and the time required for a consignment of lumber on the large steamer to reach its destination is about four weeks. The British Empire Lumber Corporation will carry a stock of about 15,000,000 feet of B.C. fir, cedar, pine and white spruce, and the new plant, which has just been completed, will be kept busy all summer. The next vessel to arrive at Montreal will be the “Margaret Coughlan,” with a full cargo. The combined carry- ing capacity of the “Heathfield” and “Margaret Coughlan” is, approxi- mately, 10,000,000 feet. J. B. Knox states that several other loaded vessels will leave Vancouver this and next month for the Montreal yard of the firm, and they expect to have, at least, one or two sail- ings per month during the balance of the season. The new sawmill and planing mill of the firm is now in opera- tion. Work on the buildings has been going on since last fall and the plant has a handling capacity of about 15 cars of lumber per day with a storage capacity of, approximately, 2,500,000 feet of dry lumber. There will be a complete dry kiln equipment for drying all classes of forest products, in addition to other installations of a most up-to-date type. The rail and water shipment facilities are unsurpassed and there are sets of overhead travelling cranes to carry the lumber and tim- bers from the ships. The new mill is built of reinforced concrete and possesses every manufacturing and other convenience, being fitted with a sprinkler system throughout. The company have also storage yards adjacent to their mill, which will have piling facilities for about 25,000,000 feet. A full description of the enterprise and development of the British Empire Lumber Corporation will appear in a later edition of the “Canada Lumberman.” Grade Marking Machine in Operation While Canada has not decided upon a uniform grading of lum- ber it is interesting to follow the progress in this direction made by organizations to the south. Uniform grading has been in practice by the Southern Pine Association, National Hardwood Manufactur- ers Association and other less prominent bodies for several years. With the tremendous volume of business turned over by manufac- turers each year it was inevitable that some device should be inven- ted to semi-automatically mark the different grades onthe boards. This machine to grade mark lumber, after several years experi- ment, has been perfected and was recently demonstrated at the Southern Pine Manufacturers Convention. The device was invented by J. G. McDonough, of Eau Claire, Wis., who is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin. He is credited with having invented several other machines used in the lumber manufacturing industry. Among the advantages claimed for the grade-marking machines are the following: 1. They are simple of design and can be installed in any plant over-night without hindering operation of the plant. 2. They entail no additional cost for labor and in some plants will reduce labor costs. 3. Use of the machines gives a better chance for the grader’s inspection of the lumber and will effect greater efficiency in grading. 4. The machines mark the grade name on the lumber indelibly so that it cannot be effaced or changed. 5. Each piece in bundle-stock also is branded. The specific machine which was selected for the public demon- stration is known as machine No. 1. This is portable apparatus, mounted on a low truck so that the machine may be moved about and used in any part of the plant or yards. Machine No. 1 can be used back of the planers, with slight modifications, or made portable on trucks for branding while loading U behind the planers in the mill, a quadrant and set lever instead of a wheel is used for regulating and positioning the grade names opposite the surface to be branded. Such a machine, with transfers mounted with the machine, successfully branded the varying grades of floor- ing from two “matchers” recently and saved employment of one grader. Machine No. 2 is designed for attaching to the planer in the — mill and it brands the name “Sou Pine Assn” on the lumber as it feeds out. This machine can be instantly swung out of the way on a pivot, so that the operator of the planer, in setting up his machine, can have a clear view through the planer to adjust his knives and side guide. This machine is capable of branding lumber fed through the planer at a feeding speed far beyond that of any planer. This apparatus brands only on the end. Machine No. 3 is designed for branding the grades on lumber back of the edger, re-saws and slow-feeding planers. With modifica- tions it also can be installed for grade-marking of lumber at the sorting chains back of the planer or trimmer. Its hand wheel or lever shift for positioning the names opposite the surface to be beeneed operates practically on the same principle as that of machine WO lle : All three of the grade-marking machines are designed to be used in various places around a lumber manufacturing plant wherever it is most convenient to have them placed. Fraser Valley Sawmills Are Active All the sawmills in the Fraser Valley, B.C., are very busy at the present time. There is scarcely a mill in each of the various muni- cipalities, especially on the south side, that is not operating full blast. Some concerns, which have not been running for years, have started up, as well as a number of entirely new ones. Practically all the plants are engaged in cutting second-growth timber for which there is still a considerable quantity scattered over the valley. As the logging progresses the available timber becomes further away from the mills, and to handle these logs more economically, some firms have lately laid steel from the scene of their logging equipment to their sawmills, superseding the old methods of hauling over skid- roads with horses. With the increased demand, the price of standing timber has mounted accordingly until, at present, it is practically at a premium. Ties and dimension are the principal products being turned out by the mills, much of the timber not being of sufficient size to be suit- able for other purposes. Several settlers in the Fraser Valley have turned their attention to taking out telegraph poles and are deriving considerable revenue from this source. There is also a good demand for shingle bolts and these are being cut by various persons. Some Features of Hardwood Market Writing to the “Canada Lumberman” a leading lumber firm in Ontario states that the furniture factories are rather slack and have not been operating to anything like capacity for several months. The agricultural implement people are also quiet. Western Ontario trade, in both furniture and implements, has not been encouraging but, on the other hand, the auto trade and some building trades in © American cities have been good. There are certain items, such as 2% and 3-inch soft elm and 2-inch and 2!4-inch hard maple, which have been decidedly active. A reasonably free movement in low- grade hardwood is in evidence. ‘The stave business has not been attractive and some firms in Western Ontario have cut nearly all their elm this, year into lumber. Indications are considerably brighter in cooperage stock. Southern Lumber is Yielding Oil avhe Bogalusa, La., the largest sawmill in the world, has proved to its satisfaction that turpentine, pine oil and rosin may be extracted from yellow pine lumber after it has gone through the sawmill, and in order that it may do so on a large’scale, is spending $70,000 for the necessary equipment. The process, perfected and patented by W. H. Mason, a chemical and mechanical engineer, involves two operations. Under one process, that of heating the cut lumber, one gallon of turpentine is extracted from every 1,000 board feet treated. The second process involves the treatment of “pitchy” lumber. Nine gallons of turpentine, one gallon of pine oil and one commercial barrel of rosin have been recovered from each 1,000 board feet so treated. | pine oil improves the grade of the lumber. ’ Great Southern Lumber Company, which operates at — Experts here declare that removal of the turpentine, rosin and ia _ by people who took advantage of this condition. uebec Retailers Want Change in Lien Law Declare That the Present Law is an Illusion and Affords Dealers No Protection Against Unscrupulous Contractors and Others The subject of the Quebec Lien Law in relation to the retail lumber trade was discussed at some length by the members of the Montreal Retail Lumbermen’s Association at a recent meeting. Mr. J. P. Dupuis presided. The members are of the opinion that the law is defective, and that it gives them practically no protection ‘against unscrupulous contractors and others, who take advantage of the law to escape payment of the lumber ordered and supplied. It was, therefore, decided to take steps to secure such amendments -of the law as will give the desired protection. The law on the sub- ject was outlined by Mr. Francis Fauteux, who attended the meeting at the request of the directors. The chairman explained that the Builders’ Supplies Bureau had formed a committee with a view to seek legislative changes in the Quebec Lien Law, and he suggested that their own association _ should work in co-operation with .the Bureau, in order to secure those changes. Mr. Dupuis also referred to the Montreal Builders Exchange in this connection, and stated that, on a previous occasion, a delegation had gone to Quebec, but that the results had been dis- appointing, in that changes had been made which were not in the interests of suppliers of ‘building material. Some Suggestions for Improvement Mr. Fauteux then gave a resume of the law, and also made sug- gestions which, he believed, would fully protect those who supplied material for building purposes. He stated that in order to obtain pro- tection a person or firm supplying building material, including lum- ber, must serve a registered notice upon the proprietor before the goods were delivered to the contractor. This notice must give the nature and cost of the material to be delivered, and the Cadestral number of the land. This notice was only effective provided that a privilege was taken out and delivered within thirty days of the com- pletion of the building. The Lien Law provided protection for the labourer, the contractor, the architect, and the sub-contractor. Labor was privileged provided that the person issued a writ within thirty days after the completion of the building. In the case of the contrac- tor and architect, the law provided that within thirty days after the termination of the work the contractor must take out a registered privilege of his claim, and he then had six months to enter a writ to have the claim adjudicated upon. A sub-contractor must give notice of the sub-contract to the proprietor, and if he desired to secure a privilege, must give notice, which must be registered, within thirty days after the completion of the building. He also must take action within such thirty days. Mr. Fauteux suggested that the retail lumber dealer would be fully protected if he were put on the same basis as the contractor and architect. Provided this were done, he could take action against the proprietor or contractor. At present, if a supply firm failed to give notice to the proprietor, his only recourse was against the con- tractor, and this was oftentimes of no value. 7 Present Method is Cumbersome The discussion was taken part in by Messrs. W. Rutherford, J. Shearer, G. Lebel, J. A. Lapointe, J. H. Leboeuf, J. A. Bonneau, J. N. Forest, and Beauchemin. The main point brought out was that firms, who supplied building material were in practise without protection, although the law was supposed to grant this. The method, however, was cumbersome, taking the form of notifying the pro- prietor that the contractor was about to be supplied with materials. This meant that notification of every order had to be given, and it ‘was pointed out by the chairman that lumber was ordered now mainly in such quantities as were required for immediate use, involving, if protection was to be secured under the present law, a number of notices being served on the proprietors. _ The'result was'that lumber retailers did not take the necessary steps to protect themselves, and had been caught again and again In the case of a contractor with good credit the retail lumber dealer did not, feel inclined to take the precaution, because it looked as if the retailer was doubting the standing of the purchaser. If he did serve the notice the changes were that no further orders would be given. It >was suggested that the retailer was entitled to the same protection as in the case where money was advanced under the Housing Act. Referring to the question of serving the proprietor with notices, ig Mr. Shearer remarked that this was all right, provided that the law as amended to make it compulsory to serve the notices, In that ! .! , SF aN, L } eR in > Pe oie ere ae - - ‘ oA CANADA LUMBERMAN 43 ! =F PS ie 7 i case there would be no loophole for resentment of such notices, as — was the case at present. . Several members gave instances where supply firms had been — badly hit owing to the lack of protection—it being stated that the © law opened the way to collusion, and gave opportunities for the — unscrupulous to obtain cheap houses at the expense of supply houses. In that connection the chairman stated that the losses had been con- siderable, but he anticipated that the Association’s Credit Bureau | would result in reducing the losses and the risks. ; fi Mr. Fauteux pointed out that if the supply firms did not give — the notices required under the Act, then recourse could only be had against the contractor. Material Men Want More Protection The following resolution was adopted: That the Board of Directors be authorized to take the necessary steps with the object of amending the Quebec Lien Law, and that they act in co-opera- tion with the Builders’ Supplies Bureau to obtain the desired amend- ment so as to give to suppliers of material such protection as is granted to contractors, sub-contractors, architects, and labour, under Statute 7, George V., Chap. 52. The meeting also briefly discussed the Sales Tax as it applied to lumber. The members decided to re-affirm their opinion that the | tax should be collected at the source, and emphasized the point that the new plan of collection would prove onerous and expensive to the retailers and to interior trim manufacturers. On the question of relations between wholesalers and retailers, arising out of some recent correspondence, it was suggested that~ small permanent committees be appointed by the wholesale and | retail associations, with a view to the discussions of such questions of mutual interest as may arise from time to time. The building supply firms, including retail lumber dealers, of the Province of Quebec have long complained of the inadequacy of the Quebec Lien Law. Whilst the law nominally gives protection to those supplying building materials, in practice the Act has proved of no value—its apparent protection is an illusion. The procedure | is so cumbersome and vexatious that it is almost impossible to use it, — and the law thus remains practically a dead letter. In order to pro- tect themselves, building supply firms have to serve registered notices on the proprietors, giving the nature and cost of the goods ordered by the contractor. These notices must be served before the material is delivered. Then a registered privilege has to be served upon the proprietor within thirty days after the completion of the building. If this procedure is not followed, then recourse can only be had against the contractor—not against the proprietor. Its Protection is an Illusion The Montreal Builders’ Exchange has spent a considerable sum and made persistent efforts to obtain amendments giving fuller pro- tection, but without success. It is very difficult to secure any altera- tions of this character without the backing of the Government. The feeling of party loyalty to the Government is so strong that private members are not inclined to introduce measures, however urgently needed, unless members are assured of the sanction of the Govern- ment—then the way is made comparatively easy. Otherwise the obstacles in the path of a private measure are formidable. ; Notwithstanding the difficulties, the Montreal Retail Lumber- men’s Association have decided to make a strong bid to place build-_ ing supply firms on a more equitable basis in the matter of protec- tion. The members of the Association feel that they have too long been at the mercy of men who, taking advantage of the present state of the Lien Law, have been able to obtain goods without paying for them. According to the members of the Association, the losses have” been considerable, and in some instances have been incurred through collusion by unscrupulous people. <2 Such cases are often difficult to prove, and firms are not disposed to lose more money by commencing law proceedings. What the” retail lumber dealers ask is that they be given reasonable protection, || and they are of opinion that this could be secured by placing them on the same footing as contractors and architects, in relation to the liability of the proprietor for money due. The retaiklumber dealers | desire that the present cumbersome procedure should be abolished and a more direct plan authorized. If the Montreal Retail Lumber- men’s Association can obtain this reform, it will have rendered a Oak not only to the members but to the entire building supply trade, : — saat ne a4 a iP ay as 18 CANADA LUMBERMAN ~ A house combining all the beauty and dignity of the Colonial type of architecture is presented herewith on this page. The house is built of wide siding and in its soundness and economy of structure and its perfection of interior plan- ning it preserves all of the best qualities of that early period of building. According to estimates of the Home Owners’ Service Institute, the cost of this house should be between $7,000 and $9,000. The floor plans are so drawn, as may be seen from the accompanying sketches, as to simplify greatly the problem of enlarging the house later on should that be desired. In all considered “modern designing the possibility of enlargement should be considered originally and it is a decided advantage to work from plans where this has been done. In the case of the plans shown here only two bedrooms have been indicated on the second floor. Plans are also available through the Home Owners’ Service Institute in which this same design calls for four bedrooms. With four bedrooms, however it would be necessary to increase the depth of the house, making a larger living room, dining room and kitchen by increasing the length of each. Under the plans, the two additional rooms would be added to the back on the second floor. They would be built over the kitchen wing and rear living porch. The location of the living porch in the rear of the house instead of the front is in conformity with the modern archi- tectural trend. More and more of the better homes are being designed so that this feature of the house is kept away from the dust and noise of modern automobile traffic. Other attractive features of this Colonial home are: The entrance is attractive to the eye and architecturally correct, a fact that is worth mentioning because such is fre- quently not the case with many so-called Colonial entrances. The kitchen is arranged with an eye to economy of move- ment. There is a convenient dressing room alcove off one of the bedrooms and excellent cross ventilation upstairs. ) A trap door in the ceiling of the upper hall permits of access to storage space in the low attic. ‘Complete plans for the house may be obtained from the Home Owners’ Service Institute, No. 37 West 39th Street, New York, N. Y. A cor- ner lot forty feet wide and eighty to 100 feet in depth would be the minimum land requirement for it.

Breezy Paragraphs from Far and Near Ernest Montgomery, representing Montgomery Bros., wholesale lumber dealers, Buffalo, N.Y., was in Toronto recently on business. Frank A. Bowden & Sons, Greenwood Ave., Toronto, recently received six specially built trailers for their delivery service. They ‘were supplied by the Dominion Truck Equipment Co., Limited, at Kitchener, Ont. Damage estimated at $18,000 was done to sawn lumber on a large tract of land which was burned over by a fire at Garnet, N.B., recently. The lumber was the property of McIntyre & Johnston and consisted of about 400,000 feet of ‘boards and 250,000 pes. of lath. There was little or no insurance carried on the stock. As an indication of the fact that forest products are steadily growing in demand, Mr. Ed. Walmsley, Crown Timber Agent, New Westminster, B:C., supplies the following comparative figures repre- senting the quantity of timber accounted for through the agency in New Westminster. During the twelve months ended March 3lst 1922, the total was 82,794,875 ft. B.M. This increased to 121,966,704 ft. within a similar period ending on March 3lst last. The revenue shows a corresponding increase, being $149,546.61 and $175,378.44 respectively, Mr, Walmsley reports the lumber business both for. _ eign and domestic as retaining its buoyancy. A strong demand from the United States for cedar poles is being met. People who through negligence of fire prevention methods, are “ guilty of starting forest fires in Nova Scotia, will be in danger Camere prosecution to the fullest extent provided in the statutes of Nova Scotia if convicted, according to Attorney-General W.

While not desiring to uphold any one method as more advantageous or economical than another, it is hoped that the series will prove of benefit and assistance to any who may contemplate the addition of motor equipment either for the first time or as an extra ‘ unit to present delivery methods. In the present instance we will briefly outline methods of deliv- ery by motor trucks, and in succeeding issues there will appear contributions on the use of trucks and trailers and _ tractors and trailers, while other articles will deal with comparative cost data, etc. There are three methods of delivering lumber by trucks alone, the first being the use of a truck equipped somewhat similarly to that seen in the illustration. This equipment consists of a truck of long body dimension, mounted with a stake or rack body. This equipment is possibly more suitable to the requirements of the average yard or mill than any other in that it is of the most general service and can be used either for delivery purpose or any of the many needs arising daily around the ordinary plant. With this equipment the mill can deliver the rough lumber or A two to three-ton truck equipped with roller body which is of a type used by many retail lumber firms. The one shown here is part of the equipment of Wm. Williamson, 815 Woodbine Ave., Toronto finished product equally well and have no trouble in handling the refuse as occasion may arise, whereas, with other types of equipment, some parts of the delivery must be handled by other trucks or teams. This type may be called the general purpose delivery truck and is, perhaps, the least costly equipment which a mill or yard can own. All that is required at the time of purchase, will be the truck chassis, and the body and cab could be built by the purchaser himself. _ Truck with Roller Body The next consideration for a yard of generous proportions would be a truck equipped with a body similar in design to a platform, but having one or more rollers set in somewhat higher than the floor of the body. The end roller, being equipped with a bar, the driver is able to roll the load off at its destination. This equipment can also be used for the average purpose delivery but is not quite as adaptable as the one previously explained, in that a yard having such equip- ment would keep it entirely on the delivery of rough lumber or tim- ber material which can safely be unloaded without handling. ’ Another type often used where large loads of bill stuff are con- tinually hauled, consists of a straight roller body and is made of two bunks or sleepers having four or more rollers mounted directly on these sleepers and having no platform at all. - Possessing this equipment a yard is necessarily restricted to the use to which it can be put and must have sufficient rough lumber * ‘to deliver to warrant the installation of such equipment; otherwise the truck would not be working its full complement of hours and nes : , =) By L. G. Jackson ET ee eee rc A other delivery equipment would be carrying much more than their: just share of the burden. ; These three types represent the means of delivery by motor truck, and while it is not the purpose of the present article to compare them as to cost of operation, it might not be amiss to point out some™ of their features. What Yard Men Must Consider The yard owner must carefully survey his requirements and determine which type would best suit his particular location. , He would be well advised to call in a good transportation engineer to assist him in making his selection as there are many factors to con- sider before definitely deciding to add new motor equipment. , Quite a few problems will present themselves, and it is best to have them accurately diagnosed by a man whose experience has been gained through actual installation and study of many such problems. The local road conditions will determine to a great extent just what type of vehicle should be bought; whether it should be large or small, what tire equipment, either solid or pneumatic; of what — size, ‘etc. In the purchase of additional vehicles, it is well to check back over a known period in order to ascertain just what amount is usually | handled and whether the loads are of material which is bulky or of more than average length; whether the delivery points are far away or all short haul work. If the owner will carefully check over the various conditions under which his equipment must work, and buy accordingly, he should obtain a maximum of efficiency at a minimum of expenditure. He cannot expect to handle his product to the best advantage unless he is equipped to care for his wants with as little inconvenience as possible. ¥ It is hoped that, in this and subsequent issues, there will be a ~ few thoughts helpful to many of the retail dealers who are regular — readers of the “Canada Lumberman.” 7 ; ~-- Woodworking Plants are Adding New Equipment BBs, Mates Machine Co., of Hamilton, Ont., report that business conditions appear to be improving and the volume of orders is ¥ increasing. ‘They state that last month was the best one they had in — the past two years. Orders have been general with no special demand for any particular machine. Shipments of planers, moulders, — resaws and other types of woodworking equipment have been sent — during the past few months to the Maritime provinces, Quebec, Ont- ario and British Columbia. %, eS ; The Power Lumber Co., of Quebec, recently purchased a No. 91 | fast feed planer and matcher with automatic feeding table; a No. 341 — band resaw and grinding machinery. The Builders Moulding Co., | 52 Noble St., Toronto, have lately installed a No. 108 10-inch moulder. ¢ This company have also considerable other equipment of the Yates — Machine Co., including an A-7 Patented Hardwood Flooring Machine. - The same machine is in operation at the Satin Finish Hardwood | Flooring, Limited, Weston, who are very busy at the present time. Progressive Firm is Making Extensions Longfield Bros., of Mount Brydges, Ont., have recently com- pleted an extension to their premises. The addition, which is of brick, is used for the manufacture of sash and doors. Longfield Bros. have been in busimess since 1915 and have made good progress Their plant is located close to the G.T.R. station and is a comm | paratively large one. The sash and door factory is two storeys high and stands on a lot 70 x 90 feet and is fully equipped with machinery & and three new electric motors have been recently installed. Lone- — field Bros. also operate a sawmill which is at the rear of their plan- : ing mill. , Large Amount of Lumber Used The Vigars-Shear Lumber Co., of Port Arthur, Ont., which was established in 1885, say that the amount of lumber marketed at thea® head of the lakes this year will be somewhat greater than in} 1922, due to the large volume of grain elevator construction. ‘The lum- ber dealers have endeavored to encourage home building in 1923 by selling their products at wholesale prices,” says George F. Clarnson manager of the company, “but so far this has not resulted in an nie material increase in the number of permits for dwellings.” " Wholesalers Enjoy Golfing at Georgetown On the invitation of J. B. Mackenzie, who is chairman of the Orangeville district of the Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Associ- ation, a number of Toronto wholesale lumbermen journeyed to Georgetown, Ont., on Saturday June 9th, and enjoyed a game of golf on the splendid links adjoining that town. The visitors were hospit- The Club House of the Georgetown Golf Club ably entertained by Mr. Mackenzie and spent a delightful afternoon on the nine-hole course which is admirably laid out and picturesquely located. Among those who showed their prowess on the green and fair- ways, were F. T. Verrall, W. N. Fox, W. J. Lovering, F. H. Pratt, R. G. Chesboro, A. N. Dudley, H. E. Hodgson, Dr. A. I. Palmer, Horace Boultbee, secretary of the W.L.D.A., and others. The party returned to town in the evening well pleased with the day’s outing. Government. Sells Blown Down Timber William Milne and Sons, North Bay, Ont., were the successful -tenderers to the Ontario Government for a quantity of timber lying in Lake Temagami, which had been cut from blown-down timber in the Temagami forest reserve. The price paid by William Milne and Sons was a lump sum of $5,250, the estimated quantity of timber being some 4,694 pieces, making 217,425 feet, board measure. The wood consists principally of white pine and a small quantity of red pine and spruce, and the lump sum paid represents a price of about $24 per thousand feet, board measure. ‘The timber will be salvaged by the contractors. Had Good Luck With Spring Drive The English Lake Lumber Co., Limited, of Lake Frontier, Que., state that their spring log drive is finished and was very successful. The firm cut 6,000,000 feet of logs last season, 90 per cent. spruce, the balance cedar, this being about the capacity of their mill which was started about six weeks ago and has since been running stead- ily, cutting about 50,000 feet per day. P. Bienvenu, manager of the mill, states that so far they have ‘had no trouble in securing men and wages are from 10 to.15 per cent. higher than last year. All the spruce lumber of the English Lake Lumber Co. has been sold to a United States firm and orders are being received for immediate shipment. B.C. Interests Satisfied with Outlook In reference to the outlook in British Columbia a leading whole- saler of Vancouver stated lately that business in the forest products arena was very satisfactory. Although trade fell off considerably during the closing days in May, the Coast mills did not realize it fully as they were busy on old orders, both rail and cargo. It would seem that more lumber than ever is being purchased in British Columbia by Washington wholesalers. Weather conditions during the springs were very satisfactory for logging and milling. The outlook on the whole is good and British Columbia interests anticipate a steady turnover with fair profits during the remainder of the year. Sales Tax Likely to Curb Demand Writing to the “Canada Lumberman,” a leading firm in North- western Ontario, in the Sudbury district say,— While we are in favor of a sales tax in order to relieve the income tax, such sales tax should be reasonable, and it seems to us that the increase of from 3 to 6 per cent is rather inconsistent. If the manufacturer is obliged to assume this tax, he is going to increase the price of his product to that extent and, perhaps, try and sell as much of his lum- ber as possible in the United States. “As far as we are concerned, we make all quotations for ship- ments to Canadian points subject to the buyer assuming the sales 50 CANADA LUMBERMAN tax; in other words, we would rather sell iumber at a lower nian figure and ask the customer to assume the sales tax, than to make — our prices sufficiently high to reimburse us for the tax. “We understand the. tax does not become effective until January Ist, and, in the meantime, we hope the Budget will be reconsidered and the sales tax remain as at present. In our opinion, the doubling ef the tax is liable to influence the demand for lumber and cause © considerable hesitation in buying. What we mean by this is, that the psychological effect of such a measure is apt to reflect upon the demand even if the additional sum involved is not very great.” Lumber Merchants Suffered the Most The Canadian freight cars at present held on railroads of the United States are being sent back, and the American coal cars held in Canada are quickly being transported southwards. The shortage of railway freight cars was keenly felt in Canada last winter, attd | the principal sufferers were the lumber: merchants of the Maritime Provinces. throughout felt the pinch, and the situation at one time grew so intense that great fears were felt in many quarters for the stability of business. ‘The adverse balance was so high that repeated pro- tests were made to the authorities at Washington, D.C., but without apparent concrete results. During the last month or so, however, the interchange of box and freight cars has become lively, and there is no longer the acute — pinch felt during the winter. In discussing the situation recently, Mr. C. P. Riddell, Secre- tary of the Railway Association, stated that the shortage of freight — cars was probably a blessing in disguise, inasmuch as there would have been unprecedented congestion on the New England roads. The embargoes, together with the unusually heavy amount of snow on the lines, would have militated against any free traffic, and the result, Mr. Riddell said, would have meant something approaching hope-_ less chaos. The secretary of the Railway Association of Canada pointed out the tendency of the railway freight traffic working southwards and that therefore there is naturally an adverse balance of freight cars for Canada at the most normal of times. however, was extremely hard on certain Canadian manufacturers, especially in the East. The lumber merchants of the Maritimes, not so much the large firms as the more modest, suffered through the shortage. In the case of the small mill, the loss was insignificant, as the shutting down of the small plant meant little. The ambitions of many who ran their plants with modest capital were thwarted during the long winter months of the past winter, however, and only the recent arrival of Canadian freight cars from the other side of the border line has saved the situation. _ Mr. Riddell thinks that state of normalcy, to use the word coined by President Harding, will be reached very soon, providing the inter- change continues for another month or so. Stop Export of Pulpwood from Private Lands In connection with the Fielding Budget, which was presented at Ottawa recently, an important announcement was made by the Minister of Finance in which he stated that there are private lands in every province which are not subject to restriction in the matter of requiring pulpwood to be first converted into a finished product before being sent out of the country. An agitation has been carried cn for many years to have the export of pulpwood from private hold- . ings, stopped. The federal government has declared that, before reaching a conclusion on this matter, it is of the opinion there should be a more thorough investigation than there has been before, and, during the recess, an endeavor will be made to find suitable persons, one or more, to enquire into the matter and get all the information which it is possible to obtain before arriving at a definite decision. Generally the appointment of a commission is not taken very — It is frequently a polite way of staving off seriously by the public. the issue, begging the question of dodging responsibility. Most commissions are time-serving, highly-paid and respectable bodies who, under the guise of making an investigation, drag out proceed- ings as long as possible and then take ample time in presenting a report, which is often colorless or impractical. Too often is the appointment of a commission tantamount to the responses of a former Premier of Ontario who, when waited upon by deputations, always evinced the livest interest in their requests and promised to take the matter into “his most serious consideration.” generally the last that was heard of the propositions presented. A man may have the greatest desire in the world to do good. work, but unless he has the knowledge and the skill and a equip- ment, his task is impossible. The general exporters of the country The past winter season, That was > > CANADA LUMBERMAN 51 wali Pulpwood Prices Hold Firm in Quebec The pulpwood situation in the district of Quebec is giving satis- faction to the Quebec dealers. ‘There is no dearth of cars and, by the end of June all contracts with the American mills will have been completed. The price is still firm at an average of $20.50 per cord, delivered to the New York mills, and is likely to go higher. Quebec pulpwood brokers discussing the situation, say that the American mills are impressed with the idea that the prices will go lower, and believing that the federal Finance Minister is not serious in his proposal to place an embargo on freehold Canadian pulpwood, they are holding back their buying. They feel sanguine, however, that the American mills misjudge the situation, as apart from the Canadian paper mill interests, the farmers are not manufacturing pulpwood to any large extent. The International Pulp & Paper Co. have recently purchased 20,000 cords, and the Canadian mills are also buying from the Quebec freehoders in order to conserve the wood on their own limits. Discussing the outlook for the cutting of Canadian pulpwood and the effect an embargo would have on its export to the United States, leading bankers say that the wood must advance in price from the fact that the operators have to go so much farther every year to get a supply, and at the end of the present season of cutting the Metapedia Valley will be altogether depleted of its wood. As a matter of course they do not take kindly to Hon. Mr. Field- ing’s proposal to place an embargo on the export of freehold wood out of Canada as such would cripple their business unless the govern- ment inserted a clause in the proposed law, when it come into effect, to protect the freeholders from being exploited by the Canadian mill operators. They admit that a regulation to prohibit the export of pulpwood out of Canada would compel the American operators to cross over to this country to operate their mills. They would be forced into the northern parts of Ontario and Quebec to find their base of supply to establish their mills, they would open up new territory, cause tthe development of new towns and the building of railways, but in justice to the freeholders who would be at the mercy of the big paper mill operators, the federal Minister of Finance would have to set a minimum price on all pulpwood cut and sold to the Canadian mills by Ontario farmers and Quebec freeholders. Will Complete Power Plant Development The Canadian Paper Board Co., Limited, of Montreal, intend completing the company’s power development and increasing the warehouse capacity at Frankford and Campbellford, Ont. In order to meet this expenditure, a public offering of a new underwriting of $400,000, 7 per cent, first mortgage bonds is being made by the Canadian Debentures Corporation. The company has two plants in the province of Ontario and one in Montreal which turn out over 100 tons of board daily. The general-manager of the company is D, F. Robertson, who is also chairman of the Board section of the Canadian Pulp & Paper Association. J. G. G. Kerry, of Toronto, is the president of the company. Pulpwood Embargo Discussed at Ottawa ._ There was recently urged in House of Commons at Ottawa a definite policy of forest protection for Canada. Hon. G. P. Graham, Minister of Railways, advocated that something be done by the Dominion regardless of what other people were doing; if not, Can- ada’s resources would only be a memory. Hon. R. J. Manion, of Fort William, asked if it was the inten- tion of the Government to bring down legislation prohibiting the ‘export of pulpwood from privately owned lands. Hon. Charles Stewart, Minister of the Interior, replied that strong representations in favor of and opposing such legislation had been made. The Goy- ernment was considering the matter. Hon. Arthur Meighen, former Premier stated there was no excuse for continuing to permit the exportation of raw wood and, _ since the basic facts were known, he could see no reason for the appointment of a Royal Commission to enquire into the question. ar ire ; J \ ss Sonn aS 0D00000 IRA ADAIA 1 h As to reprisals by the United States, he was not afraid of them. There was nothing that would not bring as much injury to them as to United States. He suggested there might be co-operation with the provinces to provide some rule by which there would be a_ tree planted wherever a tree was cut. Hon. Mr. Stewart thought the plan would be practicable. Hon. Mr. Graham thought that timber resources should be replaced as far as possible, for the forest wealth of the Dominion was rapidly being wiped out. Something very radical must take place in this, country in regard to forest protection. He said he was in favor of anything that would give forest protection. In this connection it may be stated that the exports of pulpwood from the Dominion continue to increase. In April they totalled 74,438 cords, valued at $650,175, compared with exports in April 1922, of 49,076 cords, valued at $476,344. Will Face Serious Forest Situation The reason that our pulp and paper mills have not as yet felt the actual imminent shortage of the available pulpwood supply is due to the large amount of cutting that has been done in the en- deavour to salvage as much of the two hundred million cords of bud- worm killed wood as possible, says Frank J. D. Barnjum, of Mon- treal. However, the present year will probably see the end of the salvage period of this dead wood as it has now largely got beyond a usable condition, and when the operators again look about for a chance to cut in green timber they will then very soon realize that there is an acute shortage in the supply. Notwithstanding this tre- mendous shrinkage in our standing timber we keep adding to our consumption to such an extent that in a five year period the increase in Canada has amounted to 100 per cent., and, at the same time, the loss from fire is also increasing from year to year and, as the country becomes drier from lack of forest cover, will continue to increase. These vital factors are quite overlooked in estimating how long our standing timber will last. It is the common custom to take the amount of the stand and divide it by the amount of the present cut despite the fact that the loss from the above mentioned causes is more than ten times the amount of depletion by the axe, and that con- sumption is increasng at the alarming rate above noted. When the timber on the steeper mountain slopes which should never be cut and also the inaccessible growth is deducted the avail- able stand of live wood is reduced to a very small quantity. Over and above all this the most serious thought for our consideration is that our watersheds are already over-denuded of forest growth to such an extent that many of our mills have to operate at half capa- city or less for four or five months in the year from lack of power, with alarming freshets in the spring, causing untold damage to- gether with severe climatic changes, and an alternating of cold and heat nigh are disastrous not only to agriculture but to human life as well. Primary Lessons in Rangers Schools A conference in connection with the Woodlands section of the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association was held lately in the offices in Montreal. This was attended by O. M. Porter, secretary of the Woodlands section of the American Pulp and Paper Association; R. S. Kellogg, secretary of the Newsprint Service Bureau; Elwood Wilson, chairman of the Woodlands section of the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association; Dr. C. D. Howe, Dean of the Faculty of Forestry, University of Toronto; J, N. Stephenson, of the Institute of Domestic and Industrial Arts; and G. C. Piche, Chief Forester of” the Province of Quebec. ’ The object of the conference was to discuss the. preparation and _ publication of a series of primary Lessons on forestry and logging for use in ranger’s schools, and for use in carrying on a correspon- dence course in woods operations. It was proposed to make joint arrangements between Canadian and American interests, the books to be distributed and used by the Woodlands sections of the Ameri- can and Canadian associations, by the Institute of Domestic and \ Industrial Arts, by the School of Rangers for the Province of Que- bec, and the Forestry School of the University of Toronto. An out- line of the subjects to be dealt with was discussed and agreed upon, and it was left to Messrs. Porter and Stephenson to arrange for the preparation of manuscripts and other details. Each chapter in the text-books will be prepared by an expert on the subject. . Putting Pulp Plants on Good Basis Recent cable advices received from England state that at the annual meeting of the Becker Co., Limited, which was held in Lon- don, England, recently, Sir Frederick Becker, president, announced that his organization, which controls several pulp and paper subsidi- aries, was putting the Chicoutimi Pulp Co. on a better financial basis. Some minor changes are being made locally in the management at Chicoutimi. These are of a minor character and do not foreshadow any drastic reorganization. Sir Frederick said it was essential that the railway, of which his company had built about thirty miles, should be centred around - Lake St. John. Hon. L. A. Taschereau, Premier of Quebec, had promised every facility for the company within the power of the Quebec Government. The Overseas Minister of Trade had also been approached in the matter, Sir Frederick added, but while he was sympathetic, matters were in the hands of the Advisory Committee of the Ministry. Much Depends on Power Developments The new huge Hydro power development at Des Quinze Dam, Que., is arousing much interest in pulpwood, lumbering, paper-mak- ing and other circles. The Northern Canadian Power Co. will erect a 20,000 h.p. hydro electric plant at a cost of about $4,000,000, with the object in view of ultimately developing 60,000 h.p. The pre- liminary work préparatory to general construction has been started by the contractors, Morrow & Beatty. It is stated that following in the wake of power development and the building of the railway, will come the construction of a large pulp mill by McLachlin Bros., of Arnprior, and the Edwards interests of Peterboro. It is reported that the plans of the new in- dustry have already been prepared with extensive neighboring tim- ber limits from which to draw the raw material. It is apparent that Des Quinze is destined to find a place soon among the important - industrial centres of the north. Plant for Preparation of Pulpwood The St. Regis Paper Co., Limited, Montreal, have decided to construct at Godbout, on the north shore of the St. Lawrence, an extensive plant for the preparation of pulpwood. The wood will come down the Godbout River, and will then be conveyed in chutes about one and one-half miles overland to the plant, situated at God- bout Harbour. A large wharf is being built on the harbour for the purpose of loading the wood into boats. The plant will have a capa- city of between forty or fifty thousand cords of wood per annum, and will include cutting and rossing departments. W. F. V. Atkin- son is in charge of the construction work at Godbout: Exports are Draining the Country The exports of pulpwood in Canada from private lands are in- creasing all the while. For the year, 1922, the figures practically amounted to 1,000,000 cords. The census of Canadian industry shows that during the last three years, wages and salaries paid to convert pulpwood to pulp and paper averaged $14.00 per cord. Dur- ing the same period 3 2/3 million cords were exported and the Can- adian payrolls lost $51,000,000. A heavy loss to the industry and to the Dominion as a whole is the result of the export of pulpwood from lands held in fee simple, and figures show that had the wood exported in 1921 alone been manufactured at home .into a finished product its sales value would have been increased by $57,500,000. Another strong argument against the exportation of pulpwood bn 52 CANADA LUMBERMAN Some of the huge pulpwood piles of the Porcupine Pulp & Lumber Co., at Hoyle, Ont. ‘pittance. ’ 4 is sounded in a personal letter from Mr. Barnjum to the Members of Parliament, in which he says in part:—Nothing emphasizes the critical situation of our wood supply so strikingly as the tremendous __ advance in the price of stumpage as recorded in the recent sale at auction of 2,000 square miles by the Government of Quebec of the most remote limit so far sold in the Province which was bid in by American interests at a price equalling over $4.50 per cord, which is © just four times the price of the previous sales of stumpage by this © Province. There is no safer barometer than the inviolable law of supply and demand. In addition to the price paid for this stumpage, these people are obligated to build a 100-ton pulp mill in Canada, © develop a 15,000 H.P. plant and comply with many other conditions. The last fee land holding of any size or value unsold in the Province of Quebec is now held at a price of $3,000,000.00 for 80,000 acres, or very nearly $40.00 per acre, and even these prices will look low in another year. These cold facts and figures speak more eloquently than any note of warning that I can give utterance to. % The subject is not a new one by any means and it is appropriate — to refer here to an editorial which appeared in the “Canada Lumber- man” on January Ist 1921, under the caption “Let Canada Keep Her Pulpwood—Export Her Paper.” It was pointed out then that pulp- wood cut on the Crown Lands of Ontario, Quebec and New Bruns- ~ wick cannot be exported until converted into pulp and paper. This enactment was of a provincial character and was wisely placed — on the statute books several years ago. There are, however, great | areas of privately-owned lands from which the wood is being taken : and sent across the border, and it is time for Canadians to waken up | to the fact that this great national heritage is vanishing rapidly. In the end the people of the Dominion will find, unless radical measures are taken, that, like Esau of old, they have sold their birthright for a mess of pottage. The only argument that has been raised against the restriction of pulpwood export from private lands is that many a settler would be deprived of access to the market over the border and that his chief revenue, while clearing his property, is from the pulpwood harvest. It is contended that if he could not sell only to those doing business ~ in Canada, he would ‘be at the mercy of Canadian concerns and would not be able to realize the top-notch figure for his raw material. This contention is no longer valid owing to the fact that pulp- wood is steadily getting scarcer and the sources of supply farther removed. There are over one hundred pulp and paper manufactur- ing industries in the Dominion and the number is growing rapidly. This in itself is a sufficient guarantee of competition which will ensure the settler getting the highest price for his product. Canada’s coniferous woods are disappearing all too rapidly. Her people have been too prodigal in the use of them, a use which has ~ been changed to abuse. We will waken up some morning to find that our forests, like the Arab, have silently stolen, or been stolen — away, while we were. apathetic and indifferent. Canadians should waken up to the fact that stumpage is a valuable asset and something that cannot be reproduced in this generation or the next. What is needed is greater aggressiveness, national cohesion and more public spirit—an appreciation of what lies at our very doors. We require closer vision and a saner outlook. eats ries If the future of Canada as a great pulp and paper producing | country is to be assured and its prestige and preeminence maintained, a federal act should be passed as speedily as possible prohibiting the further export of pulpwood from privately-owned holdings. ‘Those human beings, who neglect physical exercise or the proper care of health, are shocked some morning to find bodily vigor undermined and heart action weak. We, in Canada, have been going along, so far as. our forests are concerned, in a too happy-free manner, thinking only of today and giving but little thought to the morrow. Anything that will jolt Canadians into action and decision and make them more assertive and independent, heeding the welfare and advancement of their own country, will be a long step in giving the Dominion the place under the sun that it should enjoy. We have been bartering a most rapidly disappearing and indispensable raw material for a paltry — It is time to call a halt.

Business with the United States yards con- tinued to remain fairly quiet, and though the domestic demand did not pick up very much, there was absolutely no sign of lower prices for lumber. Most of the wholesalers were kept fairly busy working on old orders which they had received from American yards some time ago. There were very few new orders or inquiries received. The slacken- ing up of the demand from the United States was attributed to the slowing up of building. Local dealers believed that the slowing up of American bulding in several of the States was largely due to exceedingly high wages demanded and received by labor. A survey of the domestic market did not reveal any great move- ment of stock. Several plants were running on old orders and ex- pected to be kept fairly busy for some time to come in completing them. - While the American and the domestic did not show a great deal of activity, a considerable increase in trade was noted with the South American countries. The principal demands from these quarters were for white pine, twelve inch planks and boards. The English market also showed signs of picking up, there being a marked increase in the movement of stocks bought months ago for the European market. In trade circles it was freely reported that several sales of stock suitable for the European market had recently been made, one of the principal being the cut of pine deals of the Gatineau Company Limited, to Cox, Long and Company, whose headquarters are at Liverpool. It was reported that this sale contained about six million feet. The labor situation, both for the drive and with the sawmills, was reported to be satisfactory. With several of the Ottawa Valley ompanies it was reported that their drives were from four to five weeks late due to the backwardness of the spring season. Sawmill operations are well under way and while it is too early to yet predict what the season’s saw cut will be, it seems likely from the amount of space in the manufacturer’s yards that it will be up to, if it does not exceed, that of last year. During the first few days of June bush fires breaking out in the Kipawa, De Moines, and Gatineau Valley districts caused losses to limits of representative Ottawa Valley Companies, which will run into the thousands of dollars. -, The limits chiefly effected were those of the J. R. Booth Co. Ltd., The Hawkesbury Lumber Company, McLachlin Bros. Ltd., and Shepard and Morse Company, in the Kipawa and De Moines dis- tricts, and those of the Gatineau Company Ltd., The Riordon Co. Ltd., and the E. B. Eddy Company, Limited, in the Gatineau dis- trict. In addition to the limits of the larger companies and opera- tors which were effected, there was also a considerable number of holdings of smaller men and jobbers burned over. Up to June 5th., no total estimate of damage caused was avail- able at Ottawa, on which date more reports of new fires were still being received. A rainfall on June 4th., largely helped to check the fires in the Gatineau Valley region. Large forces of men, from the lumber companies and the Ottawa River Forest Fire Protective Association left for the scene of the flames. The latest fire to be reported up to June 5th., was on the southern boundary of the Shepard and Morse limit on the Bois France, about 17 miles from Kipawa. ‘This limit which is largely composed of a stand of white pine is about 100 square miles in extent. The report announcing the fire on the Shepard and Morse holdings, said it was believed the blaze had come down over the McLachlin, Hawkesbury, and Booth holdings in this district. St. John Believes Good Outlook Will Continue _ From present indications the outlook is bright for a stronger market. A hope is expressed that a change for the better is imminent and it is expected that conditions will slowly but steadily improve. Prices still remain firm and while there is no great demand for some sizes, others are being sought and can be disposed off without difficulty. As far as scantling is concerned the figure at the local manufac- turers is $29.00, except for desirable lengths which are being sought. The call for some sizes has fallen off and prices offered are not very CANADA LUMBERMAN 53 SS (= Sl = MI = = EE LI PY Ale : Si= NE IMNn asa Unione WS id =I K= U] it = =| | “S mm HE w= ‘i Ih — me Sil Ill == eT il : | =" i : { i. is Ili Mh attractive. 2 x 3 is scarcer than 2 x 4 and is therefore in greater demand. The Majority of dealers are expecting to buy 2 x 8 for $38 and then retailing it at a reasonable margin. Dry boards are scarce and the prices for them remain firm. These can ‘be sold without any loss of time. This is also true as regards merchantable spruce cover- ing boards if they are five inches or wider and eight feet or longer | and planed on one side, even though green. The lath market is still full of surprises. Those, who have been — purchasing for some time, encounter unexpected fluctuations and must take the bitter with the sweet. Those, who are apprenhensive, should not indulge, seems to be the watchword of the men who are dabbling in this line. The selling of one and a half inch laths is not | easy according to reports, as retailers at the present juncture do not want them and can not be coaxed to buy even at reduced prices, but such is not the case relating to one and five eights. The demand for this size is stronger and considerable quantities are being sold. a Prices of dimension spruce continue firm at $40. There is rather more enquiry for provincial random at $29 to $39 and a hope that a_ change for the better in these lines is likely to grow more pronounced | is expressed. 3 Shingles are in strong demand according to late reports. As far | as the local manufacturers are concerned they are all sold out and | are now producing them to supply their orders. Owing to the scarcity | quotations remain firm and from present indications will continue to do so until the depleted stocks have been replenished.

It is expected that, with the orders ahead booked _ and business in prospect owing to a change in the political horizon | of Europe, the export of wood from Canada to Great Britain this summer and fall will be in excess of last year’s shipments. ; During the last weeks of May the Manchester Line steamers “Manchester Division” and “Manchester Brigade,” took on at Quebec port cargoes that were shipped by the firms of John Burstall & Co. and W. & J. Sharples, Limited. These vessels were loaded with birch lumber by the former firm and by the latter firm waney pine and spruce, and besides the firm of Hansen & Co. shipped fifteen standard of pulpwood. W. & J. Sharples also shipped overseas 200 — standard of spruce and 200 loads of waney pine timber by the | steamer “Vargorlia,” and expect to keep on exporting part cargoes with the firm of John Burstall & Co. all through the summer and fall seasons. There seems to be much more cheerful tone in the latest reports received by the Quebec lumber firms from their United Kingdom agents in comparison to the beginning of the present year.

As forecasted in _ the “Canada Lumberman” during the past several months expert | observers in touch with all centres of European commercial | barometers, the dark clouds so long obscuring the political horizon of Europe and the Near East are beginning to roll by to bring good cheer to the vigilant economists who have been patiently watching and waiting for this ray of light and sunshine to assure the com. mercial world of its return to normalcy. This sunburst of hope is also giving encouragement to governments, especially the economic | interests of Great Britain, which never faltered in its confidence in the assurance of the skill of diplomatic service in its plucky endeavor to iron out all difficulties for ultimate peace and | settlement of the world by the adjustment of all disputes. if Such is the text of the latest reports received by the Quebec lumber firms from their British agents who have been watching | (Continued on page 56) -CANADA LUMBERMAN 54 TORONTO 1% x 4 to 12 in.

Lumber Trade Conditions (Continued from page 53) closely the world’s political game ever since the signing of the Armistice in 1918. The noncompromising note of Lord Curzon to Soviet Russia and the attitude of the latter, notwithstanding the control by Germany, has, without doubt, influenced the Turks to lessen their aggressive attitude and give hopes of an adjustment of the difficulty in the Near East which is most likely to cause the German government to formulate a proposal for the settlement of the reparations question which may be accepted, that will end all diffi- culties and assure peace and resumption of the world’s commerce, industry and an adjustment of exchange. The British importers of timber are quick to grasp the change progressing in the European field of politics, and, in consequence, advancing their quotations, although price-cutting was complained of in the month of May, especially in regard to sales on c.i.f. terms, of this season’s early purchases. With the possibility of an early settlement of the Near East question and the Ruhr difficulty, they look forward to a stiffening of prices. British brokers are optim- istic these days, reports the Canadian agents in their latest cable communications, after receiving revised price lists from stockholders, and although the advanced prices are calculated to restrict ‘business to some little extent, the figures are more than justified when they are compared with the cost of landing in 1923. The British importers maintain that they have a rising market for the past year, but trade, they say, has been slow and it has never been possible for them to obtain from their customers prices equiv- alent to those at which they themselves were purchasing their fresh supplies. An encouraging feature for the trade lies in the fact that Belgium and France are in the market to purchase wood and that the rebellion in Ireland is practically at an end. In the course of a few months it is expected that there will be a construction boom in Ireland creating a big demand for wood which will tend to benefit the Canadian trade. Ireland is rather active in buying, and the market in the latter part of May was more pronounced in agency than in importing circles. In spite of the rumors of financial trowbles and possible political business has increased from an importer’s point of view and the level of prices has been absolutely firm. There is an advancing tendency in f.o.b. figures as well as a distinct rise in landed values. The effect is noticeable and many firms, who have been holding off week after week, have come to realize that they cannot defer their operations any longer. They are convinced that by doing so they will not only have to pay more money for spot goods but lose the opportunity of securing early shipments. On the West coast of England importers are complaining of the moderate demand and of the small contracts they are able to con- clude with their inland customers, but at many places on the East Coast and especially in London, trade is more active and merchants are seeking to replenish’ their stocks with more freedom than has ‘been the case for some months past. Montreal Says Orders are Coming in Very Well The lumber market in Montreal has not changed to any extent during the past fortnight. The buying for American account has not been as pronounced as it was, say six weeks ago, but the orders are still coming in at a good rate. The building situation in the United States has improved somewhat in the matter of labour demands, the men showing a little moderation. Costs, however, are still abnor- mally high, and if they continue on the present scale, are certain to result in a very large amount of work being abandoned or postponed. Taking the position as a whole, there is a very satisfactory demand for lumber for industrial and construction purposes. Retail- ers are not inclined to purchase beyond their immediate needs, hold- ing that it is a safer policy to buy what they want rather than risk stocking up at values which may decline in a month or two. The Montreal building situation is one of great promise. ‘The permits for last month amounted to $3,524,825, bringing the total for the five months of the year to $12,550,292, compared with $6,583,797 for the same period last year. The wood working plants of the city have a large amount of work in hand, some of it for points outside the city. The lath market is not as active as of late, and the price is weaker, There have been further developments in the British Columbia A very large consignment has arrived at the port, shipped by Knox Bros. Ltd., of Montreal & Van- couver, to the British Empire Lumber Corporation, Montreal. Other vessels will follow, and it is expected that about forty million feet will be shipped during the season. The exports of pulpwood continue to increase. In April they totalled 74,438 cords calued at $650,175 compared with exports in April 1922, of 49,076 cords valued at $476,344. Commenting on the | : proposed Government inquiry into the prohibition of the export of pulpwood, a Montreal dealer declares that should such a measure be passed, it will mean that the Canadian pulp and paper companies will be able to force down prices, because there would be practically no competition for the wood. The American market would be shut off, and dealers would be compelled to accept the prices offered by Can- adian ‘buyers. Trade in Ontario Has Declined Somewhat The first two weeks in June were marked by a quieter state of trade than the corresponding weeks in May. Buyers are adopting a conservative attitude and purchasing only such materials as are called for to meet immediate demand. Prices on all lines remain firm and there is no disposition as yet to discount the future by sacrifice quo- tations. Dry stocks will be coming on the market next month but it is not believed by those, who have given the situation close attention that there will be any serious disturbance in prices. It is felt that values are now on a steady, normal basis, and if there is any drop, it will be on the part of the millmen who have been getting an un- usually high figure for their cut, or by wholesalers desiring to unload. Those firms who have already disposed of their offerings at an advance over last year, are certainly fortunate. Another thing that might be pointed out is that the fife have got off to a rather late start this year, and there will not be as much lumber produced as was expected at the beginning of the season. Price tendencies on one or two lines have been downwards although more decisive than during the past few weeks since a lull in the market developed. The demand for yellow pine, always a factor in the Canadian market in competition with hemlock, spruce and jack pine, has dropped appreciably. Several yellow pine manu- facturers have made radical cuts in order to get rid of stock. A bulletin, issued by the Southern Pine Association, covering a recent week, shows that orders have dropped to 60 per cent. of normal but /production ts around 90 per cent. Another factor across the border, and one which has its reflex action on the Ontario market, is that the abnormal building pro- gramme has been considerably curtailed owing to the increase in the price of raw materials and the constant calls on the part of skilled labor, already earning $10 to $15 a day, for higher wages. Many plans for large structures have been scaled down and contracts for other huge undertakings have been held in abeyance. | So far as Ontario is concerned, building in the larger cities con- tinues on a satisfactory basis. Trade unions are more reasonable on this side of the line and many skilled artisans, who went across the border for immediate employment at exalted pay, are now return- ing and will relieve the shortage which has existed at home for several months. So far as the retail yards are concerned, they are pretty well stocked up and no very great change is anticipated until the dealers © begin to place orders in anticipation of the after-harvest trade The buying of the individual yards in the country districts is limited to essentials. The harvest outlook is, however, very bright and there is every indication of a splendid crop which should serve to put the yeomen in a good mood. The turnover in hemlock and white pine is very good on the ‘whole so millmen report, and for No. 2 white pine culls there has been a lively demand. Spruce is still strong and active. The lath situation is not quite as firm as it was a few weeks ago but prices on the whole are fairly firm. The market has broken in the East but in Ontario the call for white pine lath is steady with quotations slightly lower than a month ago. The lath departments of the big mills are now turning out stock sufficient to meet any emergency. In hardwoods, the situation has slowed down somewhat and the- purchasing agents of large concerns have instituted what some call a “buyers”, strike,” that is, a movement against the higher prices. The term is somewhat of a misnomer but it sounds well, and, in the mean- time, 18, doing duty night and day. Canadian exporters report that they will be kept busy for some weeks yet making shipments om orders already placed, and that, in the meantime, considerable busi- ness is likely to filter through. Firsts and seconds in birch and ‘maple are rather slow and the call is for selects, No. 1 and No. 2 common. An improvement is also reported in the demand for the lower ends. The scarcity of dry stocks at the mills creates a situ- ation that requires but little added demand to hold the market firm. Across the border, prices have declined somewhat and competition continues keen for business. So far as Ontario is concerned, it is not expected that there will be any unusual activity in the lumber arena until after the summer holidays which are now near at hand. Of course, there is always a CANADA LUMBERMAN 57 movement of a certain number of cars but some concerns, which are heavily loaded with stock, are reported to be rather anxious to get rid of it at a figure which will justify a clean break. Others, however, have abundant faith and are holding on, believing that the present is only a temporary period of uncertainty and that conditions will ‘right themselves in the near future. One of the leading authorities who specializes in forecasts, says: “In the last six or seven weeks there has undoubtedly been a lull in activity on the part of producers and distributors, but not of con- sumers. Evidence of this is to be found in the fact that primary activity and volume of orders has been declining, while car loadings, and retail sales figures, allowing for seasonal influences, are making new records. The conditions under which the so-called ‘buyers’ strike” of 1920 occurred are reversed. In the former case it was the producer and distributor who had unbounded enthusiasm, and the consumer who was growing cautious. Today it is the producer and distributor who are having the chills, while the volume of consump- tion continues to increase at a steady orderly pace. “Fundamentally, however, there is absolutely no basis to warrant the expectation of a falling off in consumer buying before the begin- ning of 1924 at least. ‘The present volume of buying is influenced by seasonal conditions, and seasonal influences will augment it in the fall and early winter. The present ratio of production to consump- tion is certain at the beginning of active seasonal consumer buying to find but little reserves in the shape of inventories, and it seems inevitable under present conditions that there will be a shortage of finished goods in the fall. As a result of present conditions we _ believe that the summer months will probably witness a slowly sag- ging primary and secondary markets, but that the last quarter of the year will be a period of active pressure upon producing centers, with fairly rapid price increase based on the necessity of middlemen to increase stocks in the face of low reserves.” Building Likely to Continue Many Months Building construction throughout Canada is now showing greater activity than at any time since the boom days of a decade ago. Con- tracts actually awarded during the first five months of this year, according to MacLean Building Reports, Limited, amount to $114,648,400, compared with $96,831,600 in 1922, and $85,326,700 in 1921. Ontario leads with a total of $62,871,900; Quebec second with $32,795,000; the Western Provinces, $16,337,500, and the Maritimes, $2,644,000. Building in Quebec shows marked activity, Ontario and British Columbia are ahead of last year, while the Prairies and Mari- times seem to languish. During May, construction contracts awarded in Canada amounted to $40,697,200, compared with $34,827,300 a year ago. This is the largest May total since 1913. Residential building accounted for 36.6%, of the May total and amounted to $14,897,100. Business build- ing amounted to $8,555,000, 21.1% ; industrial buildings, $3,763,700, or 9.2% ; public works and utilities, $13,481,400, or 33.1%. The value of contemplated new work reported during May was $51,550,400. The recent accelerated pace of building construction is natural and logical. The shortage of building during the war and post-war period is now being made up. In addition there is a well-defined moement of city-dwellers towards the suburbs. With these two influences operating together, it is not surprisng that there has been such a tremendous demand for new construction. Building on the outskirts of Montreal, Vancouver and many cities in Ontario continues very active. Most of the suburban build- ing is residential—moderate-priced homes for owners’ occupation. The increasing popularity of the automobile has caused a pronounced trend toward the suburbs which far-seeing men believe is only begun. It is apparent that it will take a good many years to satisfy the present potential demand for suburban dwellings. It would seem that the present prosperity in the building field is sound in nature and will endure over a considerable period—not at the present rate, but in volume sufficient to satisfy the industry. Building activity in the United States is being hampered by a rapid and unjustified increase in material and labor costs. By way of contrast, building material prices in Canada have advanced less _ than 12% from the low of last year. In the main, conditions through- out the Dominion are satisfactory. Industry is extending its opera- tions and showing a gradually widening margin of profit—there is little or no unemployment and a particularly easy money situation prevails. : ry The head of the firm had caught the officesboy telling lies. “Boy,” he said, “do you know what they do with boys who pethalies?”’ “Yes, sir,” was the reply. “When they are old enough the firm sends them out as travelers.”—Tit-Bits.

Clark, of Port Arthur; White & Plant, Sudbury; and other well-known firms have recently purchased from Russel Bros., of Fort Frances, new power winch boats and large, double drum, motor head-works. Russel Bros. report that there is a lively demand for this equip- ment at the present time. R. J. Russel, who. has been touring the East for some months calling on lumber and pulp manufacturers, had a most successful trip. He secured several orders for the newest Power Winch Boat with large double drum motor head-works build of power winch boats which craft is light enough to portage on a tote sleigh, and powerful enough to portage itself. These boats are the latest addition to the motor head works line of the firm, and have a strongly constructed hull equipped with 14 h.p., 2-cylinder, 4-cycle, heavy duty engine and a single flywheel. The boats are equipped with 1500 feet of 7/26 steel cable and a 200 lb. anchor. They will warp about a million feet of logs or 1000 cords of pulpwood. The speed on the propeller is from seven to eight miles an hour. Very popular are these powerful craft, especially around the mill pond and for rearing purposes, being of sturdy build, light draught and heavy power. The plant of the company at Fort Fran- ces is kept busy night and day filling orders for several representative organizations in the forest products arena. Rain Saved the Timber From Destruction Two thousand men from the Department of Lands and Forests were engaged lately in fighting forest fires in New Ontario. In the White River district the flames were very threatening but a change in the wind and the coming of showers averted a crisis. It is be- leved that the fires were originally railway clearing’ fires which were erabled to spread because of the dry spring. The Department of Lands and Forests sent in 25 portable fire- fighting units which can be carried by two men, and they were reported to be doing good work. These units are operated by gas engines and each has attached to it 1000 feet of 2-inch hose. ‘The Canadian Pacific Railway issued orders that employees of the road should help whenever possible in fighting the flames. E. J. Zavitz, chief forester of Ontario, stated that each spring between the run-off and the growth of new vegetation, there was always considerable fire hazard. This year, since the snow melted, the cold weather had prevented green growth appearing, and in addi- tion in the White River district there had been since the snow left a rainfall of only 1/10 inch. Had the spring rains fallen, the present fires would not have occurred, he declared. Better Demand for Cooperage Stocks Sutherland-Innes Co., Limited, of Chatham, Ont., say they are only running four plants at the present time in the making of staves, hoops and heading. ‘They carried over considerable stock from last season, which was a quiet one in business, and are exporting more stock this year than they have had for some time past; in fact ever since the beginning of the war. Mr. Innes says that unfortunately for export to the Old Country iTS, firm have to ship all their stock through southern ports as Mon- CANADA LUMBERMAN 59 treal rates of freight are 40 per cent. higher than from U. S. ports. Practically all the steamers from Montreal, he declares, are in the conference and trying to squeeze out all the traffic can stand. The cooperage trade is considered better this year than it was last. Prices of hardwood lumber are finer and cooperage stock quo- tations are a little better. he demand is increasing and it looks as if there will be a clean-up of all stocks carried over from last year and also the stocks made this year, before the end of the season. Mr. Innes reports that there are prospects for a good apple crop, and” if this materializes apple barrels will consume a large quantity of stock. ‘There is, therefore, considerable improvement in the cooper- age line as well as in the hardwood lumber arena. “Hardwoods are getting scarcer all the time and higher figures will have to be obtained for hardwood lumber and cooperage stock or manufacturers cannot further make it,’ concluded Mr. Innes. Getting Ready for Forestry Conference Local committees are being appointed to make arrangements for the entertainment and reception of the members of the Imperial Forestry Conference during their tour of Canada after the termina- tion of the meetings in Ottawa. Brigadier General J. B. White, of the Riordon Company, and Edward Beck, secretary of the Canadian Pulp & Paper Association, form the committee for Montreal, the dele- gates being expected to visit the city on July 26th. The programme will include an inspection of the Forest Products Laboratories, a luncheon and a tour of the city. The delegates will, then leave for Grand Mere and other parts of the province, going as far as Chicoutimi. G. C. Piche is on the committee for the city, of Quebec. The Provincial Government has contributed $7,000 towards the general expenses of the conference. French Cut Forests Ancestors Planted By a strange trick of fate the French are now cutting down a forest in the Rhineland which was planted more than a century ago by their ancestors. When during the revolution the Rhine provinces were occupied by French armies they cut down the timber in the privately owned forests of Hansruck, Eifel and Haardt which later became a part of the Reich’s holdings. The French on taking possession of the left bank of the Rhine found it necessary to replant these devastated areas and imported large quantities of Norwegian pines and similar trees from Savole and the Pyrenees. Before the world war the Germans cOnsidered — cutting down these trees planted by the French, but the forestry experts advised waiting until 1920,-when they would be fully matured. According to the best estimates this delay cost the Ger- man empire at least 500,000,000 francs. The Final Whitewood Operation (Continued from page 36) He has bought up many farms in the neighborhood of Dutton, Ekfrid, Glencoe, Aylmer, Shedden, and other places and, after putting in his own men and taking the timber off, has disposed of the'land to good advantage, thus converting wooded areas into flourishing farms. Through the co-operation of Mr. Oldrieve, of St. Thomas, the “Canada Lumiberman” had a sample of whitewood sent to the Forest Products Laboratory of Canada, of which Wm. Kynoch is superin- tendent, and J. D. Hale in charge of the Division of Timber Physics. The report of the latter is that the specimen is identified as Lirioden- — dron Tulipifera L. The wood is known commercially as yellow — poplar, tulip poplar, whitewood and sometimes is referred to care- lessly as poplar, although not closely related to that group. In a letter to the “Canada Lumberman”’ on the report of identifi- cation, Superintendent Kynoch says:—‘This wood is known com- mercially as yellow poplar—or whitewood—and is one of the most important North American hardwoods. The tree grows on rich soil and its northern limit of range is from inland Massachusetts through southern Ontario to Wisconsin from which it extends south as a tree of the Appalachian hardwood forest type. The commercial range is now confined to the United States where the tree not infre- quently grows 120 feet high with a diameter of 7 or 8 feet. It is one — of the best species to plant for reinforcing the wood lot or for shade and roadside planting where conditions are not too severe. “Although the wood’s resistance to decay is not too great, its qualities of freedom from w arping, evenness of texture and ease in — working, make it important in nearly every wood-using. industry. It is unexcelled for cores and crossbanding and—as you noted—for drawers, etc. 60 CANADA LUMBERMAN TE keer Pa an ao rs - What Does It Cost to Provision Your Camp?

CATHARINES, ONTARIO Hall Machinery Co., Sherbrooke, Que., and Birks Bidg., Montreal a Bie Fo NS aN j WA Protecting Forest Resources of Quebec The Quebec Department of Lands and Forests have perfected a system organization to protect the forest resources of the province from devastation by fire this spring and summer. The chief forest ranger of the province, G. C. Piche, has for the past several years been working on a plan to put an end to forest destruction by fire or, at least, confine it to a minimum in comparison with former years. He has been in consultation with all Canadian departments of forest lands in connection with the provinces of Ontario, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, together with the forest superintendents of the States of Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire, with the result that these interests have come together and formulated a well-studied, ’ concrete plan to protect their respective province and state forest resources from fire. Mr. Piche did not rest his efforts here; he also took up the question of protection with the various big limit holders’ organizations in the province who have their own forest ranger service and protection against fire. The result is that there is now perfect co-operation and. co-ordinization of all these interests men- tioned to pay special protection against a repetition of the dire destruction of Canada’s valuable woodlands by fire. Discussing the great need of protection of the forest resources of the country against the continued menace by fire, G. C. Piche, super- intendent of the Forestry Branch of the Quebec Department of Lands and Forests, said the time was past to trust to chances, and now the various provinces of the Dominion of Canada, in co-opera- tion with the Forestry Service of the New England States, would use every means on a scientific and commonsense basis to protect the valuable woodlands. He said the Quebec Forestry Branch of the Department of Lands and Forests, presided over by Hon. Honore Mercier will this summer employ 1500 forest rangers, 200 more than last year, and greater attention will be paid to the protection against fire on the North shore of the St. Lawrence, especially in the upper levels of the forest ranges, where so many conflagrations with appal- ling results took place “last year. Statistics carefully compiled by the Quebec Land and Forest Department show conclusively that twenty-five per cent. of the forest fires are due to the carelessness of the fishermen, campers, hunters and persons who make fires and smoke in the woods. This would mean that in the seasons of 1921-22, due to careless persons in the woods, there were 285,000 acres of Quebec forests destroyed by fire, entailing a loss which runs into millions of dollars. To put an end to this continued destruction, the Department intends increasing its staff of forest fire protection service, and will, through the publicity office, distribute throughout the province 70,000 cotton and fibre cotton posters, 25,000 calendars with scenes and texts dealing with protection education, as well as 375,000 picture cards with reading matter on forest protection to be distributed among children attend- ing schools in the rural districts. The rapid disappearance of the timber supply in Europe, as well as the United States, is the cause of much concern these days, and arousing the serious attention of forestry experts and governments in the interest of future generations. It is recognized that many difficulties will have to be overcome whether or not the immediate need is pressing. It must be borne in mind that sylviculture is not like agriculture or tilling the soil, which yields a crop the same year _but is paying a debt to the future for the lavish extravagance of the past century. The need for timber is as pressing as the need for food, and it is feared that the losses we are experiencing these days will not be properly heeded. The seriousness of the question of reforestation can be grasped when it is realized that the Canadian pulp and paper mills use, approximately, 1,712,250 cords of pulpwood, representing the growth of a century on 342, 550 acres, besides the yearly average export of a million cords of wood to the United States in the shape of logs which disabuses the optimistic mind that Canada’s pulpwood resources are limitless. For some years past considerable talk has been heard about reforestation but beyond research and experiment, little prac- tical work has been done. The Quebec provincial government, in view of the critical situa- tion brought on by leaps and bounds in the increase of operators every year in the woodlands, especially in regard to pulpwood as well as timber supplies, have adopted measures requiring limit hold- ers to make an inventory of the forest areas in which they are operating and make a working plan of their proposed annual cut. It is shown how the necessity of these measures has been recognized by the limit holders by their assent. These inventories, to be. prac- tical, must be taken periodically as the condition of the forests may “undergo changes in the aspect of values each season through the advent of forest fires. Besides, this work will, undoubtedly, entail expense and labor on the limit holders. G. C. Piche, superintendent of the Forestry Service, referring to the new regulations, expresses his pleasure that several big lumber | aepmapenies a pulp and paper mill interests have started ‘technical CANADA LUMBERMAN 61 studies to meet the new government regulations and that the depart- ment has received a workin’ plan covering over 3,000 miles of forest area representing one-fifteenth of the total area under license, According to the new regulations, the companies each year will have to submit a logging plan to be checked on the ground and modified when advisable by the forest engineers of the Department of Lands and Forests and of the companies. travelling and working con- jointly, which will employ a large staff of technical engineers. - By the new regulations the limit holders will equally benefit with the province by the system as it assures them an unexhausted source of supply though the annual cost of their operations will be increased. Death of Provincial Health Inspector Many friends in the lumber industry will learn with regret of the death of Dr. R. W. Bell, Provincial Medical Inspector of Health, who passed away at his home, 350 Davenport Road, Toronto, on June 8th from an attack of heart trouble. Dr. Bell was 72 years of age, and previous to coming to Tor- onto practiced his profession nearly a quarter of a century in Peter- boro where he was a leading citizen. For many years he had charge of the inspection work in connection with the lumber, pulpwood and mining camps and came in contact with lumbermen in all parts of the province. He enjoyed the esteem and confidence of camp oper- ators and loggers in all sections of Ontario. Dr. Bell, who was a Fenian Raid veteran and prominent in mili- tary affairs, is survived by his two sons. His wife predeceased him two years. Acting versus Fiddling By Fred Brown. Canada’s production of lumber is about five billion feet b.m., and the consumption of pulpwood at present is 3,350,000 cords. Within a few years this amount of lumber and pulp- wood consumed will be doubled. To supply this amount of lumber and pulpwood nearly 6,000,000 acres of forests will be cut over per year. Nature, unaided, will take care par- tially of reforestation and will produce in Northern and Western Ontario approximately 5000 board feet of lumber per acre every 100 years. That this amount can be increased from five to ten times by proper management cannot be doubted. The question is not: How soon are we going to plant or How are we going to plant? The question is: How can we get the most usable wood per dollar spent and in the shortest possible time. It is goodbye 250 year old white pine giants. Trees that cut out 22 in. to 24 in. factory stuff are getting rare, and young stuff 100 years old, and in a pinch 80 year old stuff will take its place. It means that a few years from now only about 5 per cent. of a carload will be 12-in. stuff. For a dollar well spent in fire protection, more trees can be planted (natural seedlings and sprouts) than with nursery stock and hand planting. As I see the whole thing to-day, real protection is the biggest job by far. With real protecion, available and assured, I imagine we will develop planting work enormously but not suddenly. There is not going to be money enough to plant any big areas very fast (say 5,000,- 000 acres a year, as bad as we need it and more too). Hardly any use to plant it. And we will get more wood per acre and year and dollar by working with our wild stuff, poor as it may be, for a long time to come and by all past standards. It will be too poor and too little of it at best. As that be- comes evident we shall plant more and more, no doubt. Forest investments are uncertain on account of the risk of fire and other losses. Combined with a comparatively low rate of interest and the long time required before the invest- ment yields any returns, it is a certainty that private capital will not embark on investments of this kind unless conditions are changed for the better. The history of the Mediterranean countries and also of England and Ireland seems to prove that the gap in the local timber supply is never filled by private enterprise, in spite of the stimulus afforded by the high prices of wood goods. The dislike of the present gen- eration to carry a heavy burden for the benefit merely of suc- ceeding generations must be overcome, if Canada is to exist as a nation. There are two courses open to a far-sighted government taking its duties and its mandate from the people seriously : ny Offer such inducements to lessee and various owners | as will induce them to practise forestry of a desirable type. 2.

The big pulp and paper project of ‘Newfoundland is going ahead and the Premier, Sir Richard Squires, is losing no time in carrying out the proposition which was endorsed recently by the electors. The Newfoundland legislature met on June 6th to pass a bill, con- firming the contract entered into between the government and the Armstrong-Whitworth Co. of London, for the building of the mill on the West Coast. The plant will turn out about 400 tons daily. While further changes are under consideration in connection with the operation of the system of registration for forest travel which went into effect on May Ist in New Brunswick, Hon. C. W. Robinson stated lately that it had been decided to remove the obliga- tion to register from applying to Boy Scouts; scoutmasters, school teachers and pupils when accompanied by teachers and also clergy- men. The various sawmills of Price Bros. & Co., Limited, throughout Quebec started sawing during the last week in May. The firm state that they will have a moderate cut which has practically all been disposed of. The company have also commenced construction work in order to add two more paper machines to their paper mill at Kenogami. Each machine will have a capacity of, approximately, 100 tons per day. They are of the wide variety and when completed will bring the newsprint capacity of the Kenogami plant up to about 500 tons daily. It is understood that the financing of the Western Quebec Paper Mills, at St. Andrews, Que., is progressing encouragingly. One fea- ture is that bonds are being issued which are guaranteed as to prin- cipal through insurance which makes them very attractive from the standpoint of safety. It is expected that preparations for the opening of the plant are progressing but it is not expected that the mills will _ be running until next October or November. The Esquimalt & Nanaimo Railway is seeking the right from the Victoria, B.C. City Council to operate permanent trackage across the Victoria West Park to serve lumber mills and other industrial estab- ishments that are and may be established in the future along the west side of the inner harbour. ‘The spur was built some years ago, but is not regarded as permanent. The Moore-Whittington Lumber Com- pany, James Leigh & Sons and other lumber establishments are now making use of the spur. The number of graduates from the Faculty of Forestry, Univer- sity of Toronto, was greater this year than in any period since the war. All the members have found permanent positions, mostly with pulp and paper concerns. A number of qualified foresters have been taken over by the Ontario Government and another party has left for the West to do work in the forest reserves for the Dominion Government. Twenty-two undergraduates left recently for Biscota- sing to make a forest survey of the Mississauga reserve. They will estimate timber, make maps showing the location of the timber, young growth and burned areas. Announcement is made that the mill and business of the South Shore Lumber Co. (Ltd.), Vanvouver, formerly under the manage- ment of S. A. Stuart, have been taken over by a new company, King & Jardine, who are now operating the plant. Frank King, senior member of the new concern, is a veteran of the lumber industry in British Columbia, having been identified for many years with log- ging as well as lumber and shingle manufacture. W. E. Jardine is a prominent financial man of Vancouver, who has been interested in ‘lumber manufacture. The plant of the South Shore company is on False Creek, in the heart of Vancouver, so it has a large home trade. The new owners propose to engage in foreign shipments also. . Forest fires have been doing a great deal of damage in the pro- vince of Quebec. Laurentian lumber camps, and mountain homes were recently deserted while thousands ‘of men'toming from all sec- tions of the high land were fighting to prevent several forest fires from linking up and forming a conflagration, which would sweep every village and township north of St. Agathe. It is reported that a great deal of standing timber and large quantities of underbrush were recently burned in the vicinity of Gracefield. The wind dropped and enabled those combating the flames to gain some measures of The Gatineau Co., ‘Limited, which was formerly the W. C. Edwards Co., own many of the timber limits that have been in the _» path of the flames. The amount of damage could not be estimated but the loss: will be heavy. Pik CANADA LUMBERMAN 63 The C.

' For the past two years the Crown Lands Departments of all provincial governments have been educating the public to use the utmost precaution against any cause that was likely to create fire in the woods, to be followed with dire destruction of forest property. ~The Quebec Department of Lands and Forests, through its forestry branch, have not only been cautioning the public, but have threatened to close the forests, the same as is done in France, to the hunting and fishing public, and passed a law to prohibit any and all persons, with- out a permit, from entering the woods from the first day of April this year which could only be granted by the Department and per- sons in authority to do so. Notwithstanding the propaganda of education and the threat made by the Department to close entrance to the woods without a permit, the forest fires still occur, and it is now up to the provincial governments to explain the cause. It would appear from reliable information that the government guardians of Canada’s forest resources are not altogether blameless. It is one thing to preach and another to practice, and in this regard it would be worth while to know why 50,000 permits were granted in granted to enter the woods to lumber operators and fishermen this spring of 1923. If 50,000 permits are granted each summer season to enter the woods, 98 per cent. of those carrying such permits are 4 FOR SALE 51 Timber Limits on Vancouver Island, B. C.

A spark from a pipe or from a chimney or the stump of a lighted match, care- lessly thrown to the ground, is suffice to start a forest fire likely to spread to large areas and cause destruction to millions of dollars of valuable timber property. The day will come, if the provincial governments desire to pre- serve their forest lands from total destruction, when smoking must be prohibited in the woods and every fire made for cooking purposes must have a chimney with a wire screen to prevent the spreading of sparks or burning embers therefrom. There must be no favoritism shown by the governments. The rich sportsman must be accorded no more consideration than the poor and humble citizen. When this policy is made law and enforced. and not until then, will the forest wealth of the country be free from the danger of fire and ultimately total destruction. ~ In the vicinity of Quebec fires broke out during the last week of May in the timber stands in the counties of Lotbiniere and Shawin- igan which were fortunately well fought by the protective forces. The worst fires occurred in the Laurentian and Gatineau areas where millions of dollars’ worth of timber were razed. especially in the Laurentian mountains running due north from Ottawa up the Gatineau region, with a computed loss into the millions. Reports of the outbreaks also came from Maniwaki.

Fire broke out recently in the lumber piles of Mr. Yurling of Sunny Brae, N.S. It required the heroic efforts of firemen and citi- zens to subdue the flames which at one time threatened a large quantity of lumber belonging to the Nova Scotia Steel & Coal Co. and the village itself. The loss to Mr. Yurling, who lives in Cum- berland County, will be rather heavy. About 250,000 feet of lum- ber was burned. Ross Pendleton has been appointed manager for the British - Columbia Timber Lands (Ltd.), a new organization which has taken over holdings of the Forest Mills (Ltd.), a British corporation heay- ily interested for some years in the interior of British Columbia. The new concern will move its head offices from Revelstoke to Nelson, and will operate the large mills at the latter place and at Cascade. Charles H. Nadeau, of Port Daniel East, Que., states that they are getting out about 25 per cent. more lumber than they did last year and are now operating their mill to capacity. They expect to have a full season’s run and will be forwarding lumber practically as fast as manufactured both by car and cargo shipments. The larger part of the cut goes to the American market. Mr. Nadeau says that on the whole they expect a very good season and find manu- facturing conditions and lumber prices satisfactory providing no un- foreseen labor troubles develop. A new groundwood pulp mill, with a daily capacity of 100 tons, will be built this summer at Sillery, near the city of Quebec, by the Quebec Pulp & Paper Company, Limited, a new corporation organ- The plans include provisions for expanding the plant to produce sulphite pulp and newsprint paper whenever it is desired to make the necessary additions. The mill will be exceptionally well located in regard to shipping facilities, having both rail and water connections and the company is also said to have made favorable arrangements for its supply of pulpwood. In the House of Commons recently, Hon. Charles Stewart, Min- ister of the Interior, stated that representations had been received by the Goyernment both for and against the prohibition of the export of pulpwood from privately-owned lands, and the question was under consideration. Hon. Arthur Meighen, leader of the Opposition, said that there was no excuse for continuing to permit the export of raw wood. It had been suggested that the United States might institute reprisals, but as long as Canada stood on her own feet, Mr. Meighen added that he feared no reprisals the United States might make. A very marked improvement is reported from the country yards of line-yard companies in Manitoba. They do not report many large sales, but a great many small sales which are keeping up their volume. Secretary Ritter, of the Western Retail Lumbermen’s Association, Winnipeg, reports that its building department has been real busy during recent weeks. Local wholesalers report consider- able business from certain quarters and for certain lines of stock. Mixed car orders are still very hard to place for quick shipment, although straight car orders are being shipped out very promptly. The James T. Gilchrist Lumber Co., 496 Gladstone Ave., Toronto, whose mill was burned some months ago, are rebuilding. The new structure will be two storeys high, 50 x 80, of steel and brick construction, and will be up-to-date in every respect. Much of the equipment in the former mill was saved from the fire and is being overhauled and put into excellent shape for the new factory. James T. Gilchrist, the proprietor, recently removed from 36 Lynd _Ave., to his new home, 464 Gladstone Ave., a few doors south of his -mill yard. The Howard Smith Paper Mills, Montreal, have recently com- pleted a bleached groundwood mill at Crabtree Mills, Que., which is working efficiently. The company also intends to extend its operations at Cornwall, Ont., and will shortly build a new finishing _ room 200 x 180 feet, and an addition to the machine room of 100 x _. 52 feet. This will,increase the capacity of the plant by about 50 per cent. The company some time ago bought pulpwood limits in the Gaspe Peninsula, Que., and will bring pulpwood up the St. Lawrence For the purpose of unloading expeditiously Y « bd ‘ A [ ons Statute i os : 4 ‘ -* 4 a +, eke LE on Coa } | Pk, SPR oe * al t ae = CANADA: LUMBERMAN The Otis Staples Lumber Co., Ltd.

The remainder belongs to the provin- cial governments. The timber from private lands can be ship- ped out of the country unmanu- factured and amounts to a mil- lion and a quarter cords of pulp- wood annually, all of which goes to support United States mills.

Lightning Sets the Forest | Ablaze Interesting observations re- garding the starting of forest fires by lightning were made dur- ing the past season by a Mani- toba fire ranger in the service of the Dominion Forestry Branch. In an aeroplane flight made dur- ing a thunderstorm, he reports, at the height of two feet, he could watch the lightn- ing leave the clouds and strike the earth, and soon afterwards see the smoke rising from the fire thus caused. During the one flight five fires were observed to start in this way.

THE LINN LOGGING TRACTOR In northwestern Quebec the snow came very late last winter. The above illustration shows the Linn Logging Tractor hauling logs on the operation of the International Land & Lumber Company Limited. At the time the photograph was taken there was barely a foot of snow in the bush—yet, the Linn Logging Tractor was hauling its trains of logs to the dump—over poor roads—up bad grades and down steep hills. The International Land & Lumber had completed their haul by the first of March. Their haul was about seven miles—and, even though their overhead charges included 100% depreciation on the Tractor in the first year, they report that, including all their costs from skidway to dump, (including the cost of hauling water for sprinkling over a distance of four miles from the nearest water hole to the point where it was used) their logs cost but $3.50 per thousand feet at the dump. This is the Sixth of a series of photographs taken in operations in Ontario and Quebec, where Linn Logging Tractors were in operation— The Seventh will appear in the July 1st issue of this magazine. “Ask the logger who uses one”’ —Logging Department— MUSSENS LIMITED Philips Place Building | Montreal TENTS We make all kinds and styles of Tents, sy CANADA LUMBERMAN Tarpaulins, Packsacks SS as ee | faction. and Dunnage Bags.

OF LUMBER A YEAR If you work timber tracts from two to ten million feet in size it will pay you many times over to investigate the CLARK FIVE FOOT BAND MILL. It will saw your lumber as cleanly and accurately as larger Band Mills and enables you to have fron: 10% to 15% more lumber to sell than if you sawed your logs on a circular mill with its 5/16” to 3/8” saw kerf. It will mean a years time from 400,000 to 500,000 feet of lumber which at $25.00 per thousand amounts to almost $15,000 a year with no increase in logging or sawing costs. The slight increase in initial cost over the portable circular mill is greatly offset by the savings effected in a few months’ time.

Surely there is something in Yates 108 which accounts for this remarkably high standing. To follow a 108 during construction is a revelation. Examine any big feature or any small detail. Eventhe coiled springs on the chipbreak- er are special-made; they allow each section of the chip- breaker to yield, yet afford an even bearing across the bed plate upon stock of irregular thickness. Comparison of Yates No. 108 with any other moulder will demonstrate its superiority. More than likely you will install the 108 when in the market for this kind of equipment. PB. YatesMachine Co.
