Merit Will Win—

At the National Wholesale Lumber
Dealers’ Convention held in Wash-
ington last March, Senator Warren
G. Harding, Republican choice for
next President of the United States,
said among other things, that “Merit
will win.”

He had particular reference to men.
But, this applies equally well to
material.

We handle only lumber of merit
which explains the growing demand
for our stock.

You should ask us for prices on
your next order.

They say
“go slow.” The trouble often is that many never go at all. They
slip back instead of moving forward, and so it is with the building
proposition. We do not believe there is anything to be gained by
delay, that neither labor nor material or other contingencies will be
appreciably altered for a long time to come; neither will the supply
and demand be equalized for a period of probably two to five years.

Statistics reveal that approximately fifty-nine per cent. of the
building cost is labor. Will this item be reduced? Freight rates are
going to be increased. This means higher cost. No one looks for
any decline in the cost of labor and should there be a material reduc- —

tion,—say ten to twenty per cent., in the other items of cost, the sav-_
ing would be small and probably not commensurate with cost of de-

lays. People who are expecting pre-war prices will be disappointed.
We are living in a new era and must accustom ourselves to new con-_
ditions and surroundings. :
Irving Fisher, probably the country’s first authority on the sub-
ject of prices, says: “Go ahead on the new price level. Business men
should face the facts. To talk reverently of 1913-1914 prices is to
speak a dead language today. The buyers of the country, since the
armistice, have made an unexampled attack upon prices through their
waiting attitude, and yet price recessions have been insignificant. The
reason is that we are on a new high-price level, which will be found
out that the clever man is not the man who waits, but the one who
{nds out the new price facts, and acts accordingly.”

A Problem For Individual Solution

Does it pay the average retail lumberman to operate a planing
mill? This has long been a question of vital interest to the trade,
and no satisfactory solution can be given which will apply generally
to all members of the industry.

In real estate circles one of the oldest problems which has been
discussed for years, is the advisability of owning rather than renting
a house. In spite of the agitation that has been conducted for gen-
erations and the economic, sentimental and other reasons presented
for owning a home, about 50 per cent. of the people in the larger
centres still continue to lease the dwellings in which they reside, and —
probably will do so until the end of time. There are many reasons,
of course, why certain persons do not become home owners and there
are, probably, equal numbers of reasons why all retail lumbermen
do not own and operate planing mills.

It is interesting to note the different views presented in the

news columns of this edition on the proposition. Much, of course,
depends upon the trade which a yardman caters to, the amount of

stock he carries, his annual turnover, labor conditions, building pros-
pects, repair trade, propinquity of other woodworking establishments,
the service he aims to render, etc. There is no doubt, however, that
niany a retailer in his desire to own a planing mill, has over-reached —

himself and purchased equipment which can be used for only a lim-
ited period, in which considerable money is locked up at present high

values. Unless machines can be kept fully employed from 50 per

the proprietor, and the class of work required in a small centre can
be turned out reasonably well with less equipment than is generally
supposed.

The subject is discussed from every angle in the present issue
of the “Canada Lumberman” and opinions based on experience and
practical insight of various men are well worth reading, presenting,
as they do, a symposium of ideas that should prove helpful, timely ‘
and valuable. After all, this question is one that will have to be |
solved individually. It may pay one man to operate a small planing ©
mill or sash and door factory, whereas in another town such an estab-
lishment would be a decided loss and any money made in the lum-
ber yard, sunk in the operation of the industrial plant.

_ There is this much to be said, and that is, the man who has not
a planing mill now and is thinking of making the necessary installa-
tions, should give the matter full consideration before undertaking
the work and size up as accurately as possible the volume of trade

i

of credit and the various forms of money.

The Trend of Trade Conditions
Recent declines in the prices of a few commodities are not to be
regarded as isolated instances, but are part of a gradual and general
movement that has been under way for a considerable time, says the
National Bank of Commerce in New York. in a discussion of cur-
rent business conditions.
It has generally been conceded that prices would ultimately seek

a lower level than that maintained during the war and immediately

thereafter. Such decline has always followed the over-stimulation
of commerce and industry produced by war. Under these circum-
stances, a downward price movement, if gradual and orderly, is to
be welcomed both as an evidence of the return of more orderly con-
ditions and as a factor in accomplishing that return. Such a move-
ment in the prices of basic commodities is now clearly evident. Re-
cent sharp declines in a few commodities, however, are likely to cause
the business public to lose sight of the fact that in a number of
other commodities a gradual decline has been under way for a con-
siderable time.

Even at this time it iss well to emphasize once more that the ab-
normal price has been the result first, of actual physical shortage of
goods in relation to demand, and second, of expansion in the volume
It is thus clear that a de-
cline in prices can only be brought about by a falling off of demand,
an increase in the physical volume of production, a decrease in the
volume of credit and money, or by these and various other causes
working together. The armistice automatically destroyed the special-
ized demand which the war had created, and removed the artificial
support which had sustained the buying power of Europe during
the conflict. While the stimulated domestic demand at first appear-
ed to offset this, this influence could riot possibly be permanent. In
many lines consumption is not immediate, so that the rate of pur-

chase after every abnormal period inevitably declines to a normal

level or below it. It is primarily this tendency which has been re-
flected in the refusal of buyers to accept additional price increases,
or indeed, to buy in undiminished volume at the levels which had
prevailed for months.

In the face of these conditions, discernible to all far-seeing busi-
ness men, the unwisdom of further credit expansion became appar-
ent some months ago. Efforts to prevent such expansion have re-
sulted in a considerable strain on credit, and this has been much
accentuated by retarded transportation and consequent tying up of
a large volume of credit.

A factor not to be overlooked at the present time is the increas-
ing unemployment. In some districts large numbers of men are out
of work as a result of disorganized transportation. This effect has
been especially noteworthy in the coal regions and in the great
centres of automobile manufacture. Refusal of the public to accept
increased prices, or even to maintain a volume of purchase equal to
that of recent months at the level of prices then prevailing, has re-
acted sharply on some sections of the textile industry and on the gar-
ment trades. Considerable unemployment in these industries has re-
sulted. If this is of brief duration, it need have no serious effects, but
prolonged and widespread unemployment rapidly destroys huying
power and produces social unrest, so that a far-seeing policy will in-

. dicate its avoidance if this is at all possible.

* * *

Extending the Service of Aeroplanes

The Province of Quebec has been comparatively free of disastrous
forest fires for some years, largely due to the system of protection and
forest rangers which the government, acting in co-operation with the
big companies, has built, up. It is understood that the govern-
ment will extend its efforts still further, and that one of the most im-
portant directions this extension will take will be towards having fur-
ther aeroplane service. Quebec was the first province to install aero-
plane service to watch the forests, the St. Maurice Protective Asso-

ciation, comprising companies which have large limits on the St.

Maurice, inaugurating a service with ‘0-0 ration of tk
ernment. — 2 . ¥
During the last Wires or four years laws of ; a mo
have been enacted by the Quebec Legislature towar Is protec
valuable forest areas of the province, the forestry resources of be:
province constituting the second industry in Quebec. and prowl th
ing continually. The amount of pulp wood cut in 1918 alone was “i
1,599,278 cords, a big increase over 1917, when the number of cords — =~
of pulp wood cut was 1,357,007 cords. The value of all forest pro-
ducts for 1918 rose to $40,761,730, but when the value of the finishe 1
article is considered, pulp and paper, the value is very much higher.
Since 1910 the Quebec Government has had an embargo on the ex-
portation of pulp wood cut from Crown lands, and the result
been that in seven years the number of tons of pulp produced hi;
more than doubled, and the new mills erected in the past two yeat 1S
have raised the proportion of increase still greater. 4
With the industry at such high points, and constantly ¢
the government gave its aid to the formation of four fire p
associations, namely, the Ottawa River Forest Protective A
tion, the St. Maurice Forest Protective Association, the Laure
Forest Protective Association, and the Southern St. Lawrence F
Protective Association. The fire wardens are appointed by
ernment, on recommendation of the association, and they woe
the direction of the managers of the associations. The aeropla
the newest device used by the fire wardens, but supervision is 3
exercised by the use of horses, motor cycles, canoes, gasoline laur
etc. There has been installed also a system of telephone lines s C
prompt warning may be given of fires. T
When it is recalled that vast areas of forests were bare o1
years ago, the record of 1918, the last official one to hand, is coi
ing, showing that only 10,543 acres were touched with fire i
fires. There are over 414 fire wardens in the four districts. om ie

The scarcity of newsprint paper is being felt more keenly a

week passes and the demand is growing more incessant. It is |
stood that the Canadian mills are now ready to fill Canadian.
and agree with the principle that 15 per cent. of their output
be reserved for the domestic market. To this regulation, if one i:
passed by the federal government, no serious objection will be of
by the newsprint producers, but if there is any attempt in the
of price control or regulation, the same as existed during the
there will be a determined protest. It appears that most of the p
lishers in Canada are now willing to pay whatever is the prevail ing
export price and by adopting this attitude, and the mills agreeing to
furnish a quota of their output to Canadian consumers, there is me ’
reason why an adjustment of all difficulties should not be speedily — ‘
effected. Just what figures will prevail after July Ist, is not known
as yet, but either 5c or 5%c will be the ruling rate. Most mills have

What is a service room ?
An Eastern lumber yard was destroyed by fire. The dealer
rebuilt immediately. In making his plans, he determined to have
a service room, although he didn’t call it by that name. He built
a two-storey office and stock room facing the street. Across the
_ driveway from the office and opening on the street, he located the
Service Room. It had large plate glass windows, a hardwood floor,
oak trim, metal ceiling, fine fixtures, and an interesting display,
says R. S. Hinman, Retail Representative of the National Lumber
~ Manufacturers Association.

_-—-‘To-day that room is used only for storing roofing, wall board
and a dozen other miscellaneous articles, and that dealer has no
bs

use for service rooms. But why ?

z Having Sympathy with the Idea

_-~—-—s*‘ The success of the service room depends primarily upon two
things: First, a thorough understanding of, and sympathy with, the
“service” idea, and second, the equipment to render real “service.”
__‘The service room is not merely a show room or a display room.
- Tt is a room in which the dealer has the opportunity to exercise the
highest form of salesmanship. The size, location, furniture display,
..and so forth will depend entirely upon the individual dealer, the faci-
jities at his command, and the requirements of his community. The
service room may be an adjunct of the private office, or, if the dealer
- hasn’t a private office the service room may be used as such. A
service room may be a room devoted exclusively to the business
of selling, or, it may be a table and a couple of chairs where the
_ dealer can take the prospective customer, show him the things he
wants to show him and talk to him without interruption.
The correct answer to every question that can be asked about
fitting up a service room is based upon the principles of good merch-
-_ andising.

=.

- lodge an idea from the-customer’s mind after he has made up his
_ mind as to what he wants, or to show him the things that he ought
_ to have and prevent him from getting the wrong idea ?

Proper Use of Wall Space

A hardware manufacturer who specializes on building hardware
a has a display room which cost many thousands of dollars. Walk
into that room and you see merely a room finished in dark paneled
_ mahogany and richly but simply finished. If you are a prospective

‘customer the chances are that the salesman knows before you ever
ch the room about what kind of hardware you are interested in,
t if not, you sit down in one of the comfortable chairs and, after
. little conversation, the salesman has a pretty good idea of what
you want. | ;

He then goes to a wall, opens up a case and there, richly dis-
layed, is the particular lock set in the design and finish that he
hinks you will want, based upon what you have told him. If this
s not satisfactory, he opens up another case and shows you some-
ing else, but there is the important point—you are not confused
bewildered at any time by a great display of the different styles,
signs and finishes. All the goods that are on display are so arrang-
d that when you are looking at one particular design, you see
othing else. You have a chance to make your decision absolutely
inhindered by a multitude of other designs.

Successful lumber dealers all over the country have found that
does not pay to put anything in the service room without a sound
srchandising reason for its being there.

The Importance of Location

$ The size of the service room will more often than not depend
upon the amount of space available in an office that is already built.
In laying out a plan for a brand new building with a serivce room
included, a careful study of the articles to be shown in the service
room will be required to determine the size. As most of the dis-

ill be on the wall, this will be the basis for fighting. Instead
, it may sometimes be found advisable to have

od
aad

i

two smaller rooms, as this gives more wall space and also accom
dates more customers. ie

The location is highly important. A direct street entrance is
not necessary, in fact. it may easily become a detriment. One thing
that is absolutely essential is that there should be an entrance to the
service room from the dealer’s private office. In fact many dealers
consider that the only entrance should be through the private office.

The furniture may consist of a table, flat top desk or both, and
a few comfortable chairs. There should be drawers for catalogues
and plan books. The room should be well finished, with the kind of
materials you sell. The flooring may be hardwood, or may be cov-
ered with a rug. On the walls there could be a few pictures of sub-
jects pertaining to the lumber business, and on the table a few maga-
zines or books of general interest. The fitting up of the room will
be largely a matter of individual taste and judgment.

The materials to be displayed will consist of samples of the vari-
ous products you have to sell, such as commercial woods, finished
and unfinished, mouldings, hardwood flooring in finished panels,
stained and creosoted shingles, mantel brick, and so forth. The dif-
ferent styles of door and window trim in use in the dealer’s locality,
together with examples of various details of construction may also
be shown. No two dealers will want to show the same items in their
service room and a little thought and study will determine in such
case that which ought to be selected.

Keep Materials in Cases

One thing is important. The room, when entered, should not
present the appearance of a miscellaneous collection of building ma-
terials. It should be attractive to the eye, and most of the materials
should be kept in wall cases, where they are practically out of sight
until the time comes for display. In this way the materials can be
kept clean and bright at all times. but most important of all, the
dealer can show the prospect exactly what he wants him to see
without a great many other articles to distract his attention. This

‘ enables the prospect to decide upon one thing at a time and will be

a great time saver for the dealer in making the sale. :
The same principle should be followed in regard to plan books
and catalogues. These should be kept out of sight until the dealer

-has had an opportunity to talk with the prospect and find out about

his requirements. Practically every one who starts to build has
something like a limit to the amount he expects to spend. If a man
expects to spend $5,000 for a house, he should not be encouraged to ~
look over a lot of $10,000 designs, because it is human nature to
select a $10,000 design and then want to try to build it for $5,000.
If the plan book is not divided according to the cost of construction,
the dealer should make a list of the different designs that come
under the various price classifications. He can have a list of houses
that can be built for $3,000, $5,000 and so on, then when he has
found out how much the customer expects to spend, he can show
him the plan book and point out to him the different designs in the
book that can be built for about such an amount.

Manufacturers’ samples and literature should be a part of the
display of the service room, handled, of course, as indicated above.
The public sees a great many articles of building material advertised
in the magazines. Whenever a prospect asks the dealer about such
materials, the dealer should be in a position to give information,
and if it is a material that can be supplied, he should have on hand
such sample and literature. These can be kept in the service room.
as outlined above.

How to Announce the Service

The use of the service room will have a tremendous effect on
the dealer’s business. Its effects will be felt first upon the dealer’s
relation to the carpenter contractor. A dealer in a Minnesota town
put in a service room. He said very little about it until it was
completed, then one by one he took the contractors of the town to
one side and talked to them something like this: :

“Tere is a service room that I have built to help you land more
jobs and me to sell more building material. It contains everything
you need to show a prospective builder and help him decide what
he wants. Of course you understand that it is going to be open to
any one who is figuring on building, so that no one person can use
it exclusively, but whenever you have a prospect, you are welcome
to bring him in here and spend all the time you need, in other
words, make this your salesroom.”

Too Much Material Goes Into Sawmill Burner—Growing Tiewiba For Wood Pa ee
of Every Kind Affords Opportunities For Using All Odds and Ends a

“Using all the Log” was the subject of an edifying and practical
address delivered recently at San Antonio, Texas, by C. E. Mattison,
manager of the Arkansas Land and Lumber Co., who spoke ably
and convincingly before the Southern Pine Salesmen’s Service As-
sociation.

In the course of his remarks Mr. Mattison sasid:

“To my mind the main refuse conveyor of the average sawmill,
that starts down on the lower floor and reaches out to the maw of the
refuse burner, looks like a stream of dollars going to destruction. It
is of great importance that we conserve foodstuffs and annual crops,
but it is of far more importance to conserve raw materials, such as
lumber, coal, iron, oil, and gas which has taken ages or at least a life
time to produce out of the soil.

“In utilizing mill waste the sawmill conveyor is usually pick-
ed over first for lath. Generally speaking,
lumber produced there will be approximately 250 four-foot lath ac-
cumulated, and if 32 in. lath are saved there will be 300 lath to the
thousand feet ; 32 in. lath can be made out of ‘shims’ too short for four-
foot lath and which develop to quite an extent from crooked short-
leaf timber that grows in the northern portion of the southern forest
on rolling land.
; “Short trimmings suitable for box shooks, etc., are picked out
of the conveyor following lath. This stock can be stacked loosely
on top of a kiln car and after drying and cooling sent directly to the
You are all familiar with box
shooks, so it is needless to describe this product; planing mill cut-
tings and trimmings work nicely into box shooks. j

Too Much Stuff in the Burner

“But one can find mill waste ahead of the refuse conveyor. If
you will watch your edger tables you will see many small strips that
are admirable for small mouldings; strips that usually go to the
slasher, and as they answer neither for lath or box shooks they go
to—hell—the burner. These edgings can be sent either over the
trimmer and cut into regular lengths, or, if this is not practical in
some mills, they can be ‘pulled off the trimmer chains after passing
from the edger rolls, cut to lengths on a small stationary saw, then
bundled loosely in small bundies at low labor cost. Place these
bundles also on top of the kiln cars, and when cured send them di-
rectly to the stickers. At one Arkansas mill it has been the custom
for a number of years to kiln dry boards before running them through
the edger. An edger is placed at the shed and the edgings are then
made into small mouldings.

“At another Arkansas soft pine mill, and one of the largest in
the State, mill waste is no’longer a side line but one of the prin-
cipal products. Last year they were able to operate only about 75
per cent. of normal waste capacity, yet without considering lath pro-
duction they saved from so-called mill waste alone 4,330,000 board
feet for which they received a little better than $31 average per thou-
sand f.o.b. the mill. Nearly two million feet of this saving was work-
ed into small cleats that required at least 10 pieces from one board
foot. Having a crating and box department in connection with
their operation, they are able to work practically every kind of edg-
ing and trimming that develops.

Used to Generate: Steam

“At two other mills with which I am familiar a part of the excess
waste is used to generate steam for local electric light and water-
works plants. One of these mills installed, instead of a burner, two
rated 150 h.p. boilers with extra hog equipment. Fuel is produced that
generates from 300 to 400 h.p., which supplies continuous service
of light and power to cities within a radius of 27 miles. In these
cities the water plants are driven electrically as well as a large flour
mill and a number of smaller industries. The average daily con-
sumption of electric power is 6000 k.w. Even with this arrangement
other by-products are made from mill waste. In the year 1918,
868,772 feet were saved and marketed at an average price of $19.05
f.o.b. the mill.

“The total production of the mill was fourtenH and a half mil-
lion feet. The material in dimension ran as smal! as 1 x 2% x 12 in.
Smaller sizes could have been made and-marketed if the waste had
not been required for fuel. It might be interesting to state here
that woman labor produced this material while the men were at

war. Last year the production from waste was 1,157,027 feet, which —
was sold at $28 per M f.o.b. mill. One might get the i impression tha 5
wasteful methods of manufacturing prevailed at this mill, but ie
fact that this electric power and by-products, including lath, were |
developed from an annual production of only 21,000,000 feet (whi i<
was an over-run of the log scale of 22% per cent.) does not rexg as
wasteful methods. 7
“There is one remarkable mill in Arkansas that ha§ been in op-_
eration for nearly forty years. Nearly every visitor to this pl: te
makes use of the old hackneyed phrase, ‘Saving everything but ¢ he |
squeal.’ Nothing is burned except for creating power for the f we

small trays used by smelters and founders on which small piece
scrap metal are sorted. The trays loaded with metal are place
retorts and consumed after contributing to high efficiency hand
Chemical companies also use ines trays for the same purpose
in the same manner. 5

Demand for Small Wood Articles

“There is a growing demand for small wood articles, —
which may be mentioned toys and bird-houses. In a recent bull
issued by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Products |
fice, showing opportunities to sell waste, I may mention a few item:

“A Hartford, Conn., manufacturer wants 13% x 134 x 2 in.
8% in. long from oak, yellow pine, hickory or whitewood and —
use two carloads per year.

“Crystal Springs, Miss., large quantities required, hard and sc
woods, 7/16 x 2% to 10 in. and up. Ase

“A Brooklyn manufacturer wants three carloads per year of
specie of wood, % x 3% to 134 x 10 to 8% in. long.

“Another New York manufacturer wants four carloads an ea
of v x 8% x 11—hard or soft wood.

“Niagara Falls, 10 to 20 cars per year, 7/16 to 4 x mixed
13 in. to 22 in. long, hard or soft wood.

“Pittsburgh, Pa., wants from longleaf 2 in. 3 and 4 in. 4 to8
to 12 in. and up, 10 to 20 carloads per year.

“Wood distillation is too great a subject for me to dwell UDO!
at length. Permit me to say, however, that the distillation
fining of oils produced from pine woods is a wonderful field for |
research chemist. As many as 75 distillates have been made and I
feel sure that no field before us to-day offers greater- oneoaee
for discovery. It is claimed there are today millions of cords oO
wood lying on the ground rotting, and there is a money val 0
least $25 in each and every cord of this wood. There are ever
thousands of cords of rich pine wood burned at the sawmil 1:
have an equal money value. Many plants have failed, it is true. b
every failure can be safely attributed to lack of knowledge
industry, lack of capital or a poor process. Many men have
into the business thinking they could get fancy prices for th
ducts and have been disappointed. A steady sale at a reas
profit is all that can be expected. There is a constantly grown
mand: for distillates. It was my pleasure to witness a test in
distillation a few years ago. Briefly, one cord of box faced
was placed in the retort dead cold. Fires were started and i
hours there was produced 45% gallons of turps, 11% salou
light oil, 110 gallons of heavy oil and 40 gallons of pitch; 25 bus
of charcoal also developed. i«

Box Cleats From Waste

“In passing let me state, this entire field of conservation can |
developed to a very profitable business and even though it de
not produce large dividends, in the interest of conservation thins su
ject should be carefully studied by the mill men. In conclusion let
me state, also, that the salesman and retailer can materially assist “ti ca;
in ‘Using All of the Log.’ For instance, I found a stove factory in- a

Bishop Lumber Co. Saved Mill in Fire
A serious fire recently visited the yards of the Bishop Lumber
Co., Nesterville, Ont., and for a time it looked as if the entire plant
would be wiped out. The flames, however, were confined entirely
to the lumber water-docks and did not destroy any part of the saw-
mill. Manufacturing operations will not be interfered with in any
way. About two-thirds of the water-trams and docks of the com-

_ pany were destroyed. These docks were originally about 1800 ft.

long and about 1200 ft. of them were burned. There was a ware-
house at the end of one dock which was consumed but the building
did not contain many supplies at the time of the conflagration. The
quantity of lumber burned was about 3,000,000 ft. It was mostly
owned by White, Gratwick & Mitchell, of North Tonawanda, N. Y.,
although W. J. Brinen, of Muskegon, Mich., had a small quantity
wiped out. The lumber and docks were fully covered by insurance.

The Bishop Lumber Co. was formed in September, 1916, taking
over the assets of the Thessalon Lumber Co., Nesterville, in the
district of Algoma. The product sawn is principally white pine
with some red pine and spruce. The equipment of the mill con-
sists of two band saws, a gang and re-saw, as well as lath mill,
picket mill and mill for manufacturing box lumber from slabs. The
daily cutting capacity is from 150,000 ft. to 175,000 ft. The firm
usually turns out about 25,000,000 ft. to 30,000,000 ft. annually. All
machines are set on concrete foundation and the power plant consists
of six 100 horse power boilers. The yard is equipped in such a way
that 8,000,000 ft. can be piled on the waterfront for ‘boat shipment,
8,000,000 ft. on railway tracks for rail shipment, and 8,000,000 ft. in
the yards, which can be forwarded conveniently by either rail or
water. ‘
H. H. Bishop is president of the company, H. W. Bishop vice-
president and J. A. Bishop secretary-treasurer. During the past
winter the company conducted nine logging camps and three timber
camps and this year will turn out, in addition to the quantity of lum-
ber already mentioned, 250,000 cubic feet of square timber.

New Company Buys Dominion Hardwoods

The Wood Turning Products, Limited, Fenelon Falls, Ont., of
which G. H. Harper is managing director, recently took over the
plant known as the Dominion Hardwoods, Limited, at Deseronto,
and since then have been making a number of changes in the ma-
chinery, especially in the power plant, which is being transferred
from steam-driven to electric-driven. The company will turn out
principally broom handles at Deseronto, manufacturing. all smaller
turnings, chemists’ boxes, etc., at their Fenelon Falls plant, where
the hear office is Iocated.

The Wood Turning Products also have purchased a sawmill
and hardwood limit in Haliburton and will manufacture their lum-
ber into squares which will materially lessen the operating costs at
their turning plants.

Volume of Western Busiress Growing
H. Timms, of Timms, Phillips & Co., Vancouver, who has been
spending several weeks in Ottawa, Montreal, Sherbrooke and other
eastern points on business, was in Toronto recently on his return
West. He spent some days with C. J. Brooks, eastern representa-

_ tive of the Company.

Mr. Timms reports that, while values have fallen considerably,
he is not alarmed regarding the outcome of the lumber situation and
believes that everything will adjust itself as soon as the present

flurry is over. The shingle market has for some time been demora-

lized and certain western lines have been cut considerably in price.

The demand from the Prairies is increasing, and with the prospect

of the finest crop in the West that has been gathered in years, re-
quisitions for building material should soon be enormous. —

Mr. Timms states that misconception exists regarding the amount
of stock which B. C. mills shipped to the United States during 1919
as compared with that which was sent to eastern Canada. Owing to
the inability to get sufficient cars, only about 20 per cent. of the
total output of B. C. plants was marketed across the border when
the American call was extremely insistent, while during last year
fully 40 per cent. of British Coumbia products were disposed of in
Ontario, Quebec and the Maritime Provinces. Thus Eastern Canada
got twice as much as the Western States when the whole year is
taken into account, although there is a mistaken idea that these fig-
ures were practically reversed.

The volume of business being done by the western mills is in-
creasing steadily and values will, in the opinion of Mr. Timms, soon
regain their equilibrium. He reports that in all the places he visit-
ed in Eastern Canada, building activities appeared to be very active.

Big Suit Over Eastern Limits

In connection with the $600,000 action entered at Quebec through
Mr. Aime Geoffrion, K. C., of Montreal, in the name of the Quebec
Development Co., Ltd., against Sir Henry Price, Henry Edward
Price and J. Leonard Apedaile, it appears this section was entered
to recover half of the price of a deal of $1,250,000, by which limits be-
longing to the Oyamel Co. and later on the Quebec Development
Co., Ltd., were sold to respondents. The amount wanted is $534,-
000, but due to the exchange is increased to $14,128,26 in Canadian
money. The respondents alleged that one of the directors of the
Quebec Development Co., Ltd., Solonel B. A. Scott, of Quebec, had
not signed the deal and other reasons are also brought out. Amongst
the other directors of the Quebec Development Co. are Senator Bel-
court, and Mr. Duke, President of the American Tobacco Co., New
York. The limits involved in the deal are located near Roberval at
a point called La Grande Decharge by the Lake St. John.

Shingle Mills in West Closing Down

Word received from the west is to the effect that 30 per cent. of -

the cedar shingle mills of the province have been forced to close down
temporarily within the past few week owing to the drop in the
quotations for shingles and the present price of logs. It is said that
the shingle business in Washington is more serious than in British
Columbia and that fully 50 per cent. of the shingle mills of that
state are closed down. It is hoped that a normal figure will soon be
struck at which production can be resumed with prospects of com-
mercial success but that the peak price will be lower than that of
two or three months ago.

The present price of shingles is $4.75 per square for the 16-inch
grade sent to the United States, and $4 for the 18-inch standard sold
in Canada. A square of 16-inch shingles contains about 870 shingles.
The old system was to sell by the thousand. The 18-inch grade con-
tains about 600 shingles.

Big Rafts Containing Much Lumber

Swedish lumbermen have been on the coast and successfully in-
vestigated the possibility of rafting lumber from British Columbia to
Europe. Rafts of large size, called rafanutes, have been success-

fully towed from Sweden to Great Britain. It is believed that the
huge timbers of the province will make possible the construction
and successful operation of rafanutes larger than those shipped out
of the Baltic which contain four or five million feet each. The rafts
leaving the Pacific coast will probably contain from fifteen to twenty
million feet.

Many Expressions of Views on Proposition Which, Owing to High Wages and
Operating Costs, Constitutes Live Issue With Dealers in Wood Products |

In the last issue of the “Canada Lumberman” there appeared a
comprehensive and timely article on the oft-discussed problem of
whether or not it pays a retail Jumberman in a small town or village
to operate a planing mill in connection with his business,

Several representative yardmen gave their views on the ques-
tion and these were by no means unanimous although the majority
of those interviewed appeared to be in favor of conducting a plant.

In this edition more opinions are presented on the same matter
and they come from numerous parts of Eastern Canada. ‘The var-
ious points brought outythe arguments pro and con and the different
phases discussed will be read with interest and instruction.

Like many other questions, the one whether or not to own and
operate a planing fill, depends to a large extent upon the stock car-
ried and how bought, the locality in which the lumber dealer is situ-
ated, the class of trade he caters to, the population served, the amount
of building going on, the service rendered, the range of products
handled and the number and proximity of other woodworking estab-
lishments, their facilities, etc.

A. L. McDermid of Apple Hill, Ont., says:—We believe if the
retail lumberman has a sawmill and manufactures a sufficient quan-
tity of lumber suitable for his retail trade, it would then pay him
to have a planer to manufacture his mouldings and dress his lumber,
but where the retail lumberman has to depend largely on the whole-
saler for lumber for his retail trade, it does not pay to have a
planer then. We are in a position to know this fairly well as we
We find here that we cannot
get a sufficient quantity of lumber to supply our retail yard
without getting it from other wholesalers or the Coast. Regarding
a sash and door factory, we have no experience in this line but be-
lieve that so many large factories are putting doors and windows on
the market in standard sizes and in such large quantities, that they
should be able to put this stock up cheaper than a person doing so
on a small scale. There is one drawback, however, in rural districts
at least in our locality—that we are often asked for odd sash and
doors and patterns of moulding for repair work. When a man has
a factory he can take care of this work better. We are strongly in
favor of standard sizes and thicknesses of mill work, and we believe
if a retailer kept this stock in sash, doors and mouldings, complete,
and had the goods to deliver to his customer, that very often he would
take what was made up rather than wait several days or perhaps
weeks to have it manufactured. We find it often occurs with us
that if we have the goods in stock we can always sell them.

Strongly Advocates Standard Sizes

Wm. Copping of Joliette, Que., remarks: “In my opinion it all
depends on the locality and the extent of the business done. Per-
sonally I have a planing mill and it is very necessary that I have one
for my trade, but I manufacture my own lumber and have a large
local trade. A retail yard man who has to purchase all his stock out-
side, unless he has a very big trade, would, I think, be better to pur-
chase all his lumber dressed. The owner would have to put a con-
siderable amount of money into an installation, which, unless he ran
the plant all the time, would cost more than the extra charge for
dressed lumber. It would be much better if it was possible to ar-
rive at standard thicknesses and widths for all mill work, and mould-
ings especially, as most every mill has different patterns in mould-
ings, which are constantly changing from one season to another.

A. Ludlam of Leamington, Ont., replies:—I would i imagine oper-

ating a planing mill in connection with a lumber yard in small cen-
tres of population would, indeed, be a difficult matter. Skilled labor,
which you must have, is very scarce and high-priced, and to retain
same steady work, winter and summer, must be furnished. This is
often very difficult in our long winters. The amount of capital re-
quired and the heavy overhead expense makes it a costly produc-
tion. I might say we have two customers now who have closed
their factories and are purchasing their requirements outside, and
thus practically wiping out the overhead expense and labor trouble
I might also mention that I have heard from a number of large
concerns who have kept a close tab on the cost of operating, planing

mills and factories, and have yet to learn of one such that, inde:

pendent of their yards, would be self-sustaining. If this is so, and
I have no reason to doubt it, how could’any person hope to succeed
in a small yard?

J. B. Mackenzie of Georgetown, Ont., writes—In regard to your
inquiry respecting the advisability of operating a planing mill in~
connection with a retail lumber yard, I have both kinds of yard and
it may make me better able to give you an opinion. I would say
that if your retail business amounts to an average daily turnover
of $150.00, a modestly equipped mill will be a necessity. In our
yard at Acton, Ont., we have a 5 h.p. motor to do light ripping, hy
planing, band sawing, etc., and we would frequently be in difficulty
were it not for our larger mill at Georgetown to do our special werk.
If serving a buying public of four thousand people enough sperial
work will develop to make a planing mill pay and if it is an ayver- >
age community and the manager arranges with contractors CONES 3h
the plant can be kept going every day. ;

James Sparling, Meaford, Ont., says there are some articles chat ,
could be brought in for less in a small place than they can be manu-
factured by the local planing mill man, but in a country-town,
especially where contracting is carried on by the local lumberman,
there are a lot of articles to be made that one cannot keep in stock.
Farmers often bring i in their local lumber to be manufactured, “and,” ~
adds Mr. Sparling, “a town without some kind of a planing factory
would be a poor affair to accommodate the public. In building and
repairing houses a dealer could not keep a stock to suit the trade
in every size. Door and window frames could not be kept neither
could stair material, for every house requires something different —

hf .

~

from any other. I have been in the business i Meaford for over ~,
fifty years,” declares Mr. Sparling, “and would like to retire if 1 could _

get a good live man to take hold of my business here, and there is -
no reason why he could not make it pay.”

Not Profitable but is Necessity é

K. J. Shirton of the Wm. Shirton Co., Dunnville, Ont., says:—
For some years I have maintained that a planing mill in connection
with a retail lumber business is not a profitable investment, but at
the same time it appears to have been a necessity. The standardiza- tg’
tion of mouldings, if brought about, would lessen the need very ma- P
terially. At the same time I wish to point out that a planing mill, ¥
in connection with a retail yard, is a means of bringing more custom
to that yard. For instance, if there are two yards in a town, one .
equipped to do mill work and the other one having no mill, the former
will be much more likely to get the bulk of the patronage as certain
customers will desire to get all their material from a yard which
can supply, quickly, frames, sash and other mill products instead of
waiting for shipment from a distance. It appears, therefore, that the ;
retail lumber dealer is forced into equipping his yard with, at least. — ;
a few machines to enable him to supply his customers promptly. ‘
The trouble is that he does not limit his equipment to what is abso-
lutely necessary, and instead of putting in a few machines he keeps
adding to his mill from year to year until he has eight or ten thou-
sand dollars invested and, with the increased cost of labor, power,
belting and all supplies together with the expense of upkeep, if he —
is not careful, he will be operating the mill end of his business at
a loss. If I were going into the retail business again I would build
more storage sheds and less mill. It is undoubtedly cheaper to get
lumber milled at the large mills than it can be done at small retail
plants. I would limit my machines to the following: one 10 hp.
motor; one rip saw; one cut off saw; one moulder and matcher; —
one sander, all contained in a small one storey building about 36
x 40 erected as cheaply as would be commensurate with stability.
This would represent an investment of about $3,000 instead of from hee :
$6,000 to $10,000 which is the cost of the average planing mill. I
would adhere to this size plant in spite of every inducement to in-—
crease it. The foregoing I believé is the only solution of the problem; —
not to eliminate altogether the planing mill in connection with a
retail lumber yard but to reasonably decrease the size of the plant
and procure dressed lumber, mouldings, doors, sash, etc., from the
large manufacturers as far as possible.

Merchandising and Manufacturing District

S. Anglin & Co. of Kingston, Ont., say they are coming more
and more to incline to the belief that in these days tradesmen should
confine themselves to special branches as much as possible, and add: “<j
—You have hinted that some of the difficult problems of operating
planing mills, sash and door factories are, the scarcity of labor, high © ‘

wl Ms

e Pl ts of this kind require the best quality of skilled
-and workmen who command high wages. The ascertaining
f costs is also a difficult problem as most mechanics and work-
ey men dislike being hampered with the preparation of time and ma-
. tag terial sheets and it is always a hard task to get workmen to keep

cost records. Furthermore, the work required by a factory in con-
‘nection with a retail business, is usually of such a varied nature
that it is quite difficult to compete with large factories specializing
on certain lines of wood products. We are coming more and more
to the view that merchandising and manufacturing are two distinct
occupations and there is no doubt that any concern which carries on
both of these, must have an efficient and complete organization in

a

of the year. The plants for planing mills and woodworking factor-
s are now very expensive. The depreciation and upkeep is high
nd with workmen demanding an eight hour day, it is hard to pro-
duce enough in the limited time to pay the interest on the investment
-and show a profit over and above all expenses. It stands to reason
‘that if a man invests $5,000 in a machine, he naturally expects the
machine to operate as many hours of the day and as many days
of the year as possible. Therefore, if a plant is only operating one-
For) fo of the year and that at a reduced number of hours per day,

it is rather difficult to make it pay. These are questions which every
retail lumberman has to decide for himself. It may be an easy

"matter to operate a cross-cut and rip saw in a lumber yard or even
a planing machine that dresses on one or two sides, provided power
is easily procurable. This might assist him to .work up stock which
might otherwise go to waste, but a dealer should consider care-

Some Eastern Expressions of Opinion

The Bridgewater Lumber Co, of Bridgewater, N. S., say that
they believe, if properly operated, a planing mill in connection with
‘the retail lumber business, is a paying investment.

«J. L. Black & Sons, Sackville, N. B., have the following obser-
vations on this important subject :-—“Speaking from our experience
and observation, we think it would not be profitable for retail lum-
_ bermen to operate a planing mill unless they were assured ptactic-
_ ally continuous work for the mill.
hours a day is certainly most unprofitable. In our opinion the lum-
ber manufacturers themselves will in the future do very much more
of this work than they have in the past. The sizing of lumber and
the manufacturing of flooring and sheathing can be done more
cheaply at the mill than at any other point.”

--——-« Sanders & Bell of St. Thomas, are strong supporters of a plan-
Sos ing mill being operated by a retail lumberman and say: “We have
always found it satisfactory to conduct a planing mill in connection
with our lumber business. Of course, we not only operate the plan-
ing mill but do outside construction and, therefore, we have no
delay in obtaining frames, sash, interior trim, etc. One objection
to the abolition of the small planing mill would be the utter inability

Aina it would tend to boost prices beyond reason as has taken place al-

ae in some lines of the building trade where work is done by a
r fitaas.

__ A. A. Shortliffe of the Bloomfield Lumber Co., Digby, N. S.,
erts that they do not have a planer in their mill but it is their
f that it would pay them to install one. “Regarding a sash and
or factory, we have not this department,” he adds, “but my view
that, considering what mills are charging to-day for these goods,
would pay to have machinery installed, especially where power
already in.”

Buys Prepared Stock in Quantities

; wien E. S. Savage of Mimico, Ont., discusses the whole question
in an interesting way as follows:—“I am running a retail yard and
buy everything I can manufactured in quantity. There are mills
lich make a specialty of this kind of work in the different lines
I can procure stock material ready for the market at a lower
cost than I can to buy in the rough, pay freight on surplus weight,
and then manufacture same. The people who specialize in the matu-
facture of doors, sash, columns, etc., throughout the towns and cit+

es in Ontario, are in a position to manufacture same and make a
respectable profit much cheaper than any retail lumber in any ca-
acity. On the other hand, I feel that it is almost impossible te do
ccessful business without having a planing mill in connection
_ your business. The size and capacity of the mill should be

cy calls for any kind of detail work that your customers require.

‘here is another reason I am in favor of a mill in connection with

r business, and that is, to take care of the dead stock. No matter

y carefully one may buy, there is always an accumulation of pro-

cuous sizes and kinds of material, which is not in demand but

isposed of by manufacturing into some more

saleable form. There is a strong tendency for the purchasing pub-
lic (and we cannot blame them) to buy where they can get every-
thing they may require for their job; hence the man or company
without a mill is seriously handicapped. I have purchased additional ©
machinery and am enlarging my factory but do not intend to at- ©
tempt to boost this department. I simply feel that if a customer
requires anything special he can have it although I would rather he
would purchase stock articles.”

Mill Reduces Size of Stock ;

J. A. Matthews, Orangeville, Ont., says that his mill is very oy
handy and he can fill bills without having to carry too large a stock. §
He sometimes thinks, however, that if he did not have the mill, he 4
would not start one. Since, however, Orangeville put in hydro- ©
electric power, Mr. Matthews adds that the loss in the winter time _
is not so bad, as he does not have to keep a fire going when nok .
using. He is of the opinion that the sash and door business alone —
would be a nuisance in the country town .without a special place
to make them. ee
A planing mill man, who does business in a town of six thou-
sand in Western Ontario, says he has no hesitation in saying that —
having operated a yard and mill for forty years, his success has been ~
in not employing more men than the yard can keep profitably em- |
ployed and in keeping a very strict account of every piece of work
produced. No matter how small the work is, there should be aif
sufficient allowance or charge for overhead expenses and then the —
proprietor would know exactly where his profits are. No haphazard —
style or guesswork will do in these days of keen competition and —
neither will the practice of trying to beat the other fellow’s price.
Regarding standard sizes, the writer says the bulk of planing mill ©
business is special and will always be such. ‘a

Too Much Variety in Materials

A. Coates & Sons of Burlington, Ont., say:—As to whether iP
pays to operate a planing mill in connection with the retail lumber —
business, this depends greatly on the trade one is called to meet. —
We think it will be some time yet before people become educated to oe
use standard sized materials in connection with the building. The —
whole question is a difficult one to answer. It is true that the scar- |
city of help and high wages are going to drive manufacturers to
standardization of materials. We think there is far too much variety —
in materials and manufactured goods that iserve the same pur- |
pose. We find that it would not be profitable to us to operate with-
out a planing mill for the reason that we manufacture other lines
that fit in with the planing mill business. es

Joseph A. ‘Likely, St. John, N. B., say they only handle rough ~
lumber and timber and have not a planer in their yard. They are, sy
therefore, not in a position to say whether or not it pays to operate —
a planing mill. pee

*A. C. Chapman, Kent Lumber Co., Moncton, N. B., states that
it is his intention to dress all his lumber in the future. Mr. Chapman, —
who operates a portable sawmill, continues.——We find in our sales, —
especially in the United States market, that the rough lumber is held
over at some point for dressing which means handling two or threes
times. This means that much additional cost over what would
be the regular cost had it been dressed at the mill. x

%

Must Keep the Plant Working “i,

‘av. H. Eves, Newmarket, Ont., says :—“Whether it is advisable ~
for a retail lumberman to operate a planing mill in connection with ~
his business is a question which depends very much upon the size
of the turnover that the dealer does. Is it a small ordinary retail
business or a large one which handles many thousand feet? Con- |
tinuing Mr. Eves declares—In order to operate a planing mill pro-
fitably it would necessitate installing expensive machinery so that |
the work could be turned out in large quantities, thus cutting down
the cost of manufacture. After an expenditure of this kind it would
be necessary to keep the machinery working practically all the time
in order to make it profitable; therefore, I would say, that unless
a man had a retail business or sufficient to keep the machinery run-—
ning, at least, six or eight months of the year that it is far more
remunerative for him to get all the work he possibly can, done in _
transit. I have found it profitable myself to have a tilting table
rip saw whereby a great many jobs could be turned out and a small —
surface planer: Many odd jobs can thus be taken care of in conmec-
tion with the trade. As to planing mills standardizing all principal
mouldings, I would say “Yes.” By the means of standardizing
mouldings it would cheapen in many cases ordinary building. .

Educate Customers to Standard Sizes
G. D. McPherson of Merlin, Ont., says that he has no planing
mill and, therefore, cannot talk from experience. He generally has —

on hand all standard sizes and, by educating his customers to the
same, he finds that he gets away from investment in expensive ma-

chinery, labor troubles and strikes, fuel situation, and scarcity, no
idle men in winter months and no shortage in spring months or rush
period. Mr. McPherson concludes that, on the other hand, some
mills have to do the work, but, by having standard sizes, the larger
mills can do the work cheaper and thus cut down overhead expense,
which is everything in business.

John Hastie of Ormstown Station, Que., writes that he has had
thirty-three years’ experience in his line of business and he uses the
following machines—surface planer, buzz planer and sticker and

moulder, rip saw and cut-off saw, band saw, tenoning machine,
sandpapering drum and elbow machines, turning lathe; all run

He installed these machines nine-
teen years ago and only ran them when it suited me. He considers
this equipment has been his greatest asset for many reasons. “In
purchasing,” he adds, “I rarely buy anything but stock sizes. I can
resaw same and do not require to keep so large stock. I can ac-
commodate my customers and plan to suit them. I make all mould-
ings and sash and doors’ with machines, which was all done by hand-
work prior to installing them. I have proven that my plant is 1
great drawing-card in connection with my lumber business as matiy
customers require various kinds of work which can be made on
the foregoing installations.”

After many amendments and revisions the Excise Revenue Taxes
have, been finally adopted by the Federal Government and are now

‘into effect. As the tangles are gradually being straightened out, it

would seem that the new assessments as they become better under-
stood will operate smoothly. One important fact to which manufac-

‘turers of lumber should take notice, is that on all sales by them to

retailers or consumers, the tax payable is 2 per cent.

Recent advices from Frank Hawkins of Ottawa, secretary of
the Canadian Lumbermen’s “Association, say that’on shipments of
lumber from sawmills to branch retail yards, and for which regular
invoices are rendered by the mills to the yards, the sales tax
on such shipments is 2 per cent. _This is in accordance with the
resolution passed recently which states, “In addition to the present
duty, both excise and customs, a tax of 1 per cent. shall be imposed,
levied and collected on sales or deliveriés by manufacturers to whole-
salers or jobbers and, on the duty paid on value of manufactures and
in respect to sales by manufacturers to retailers or consumers, or on
importations by retailers or consumers, the tax payable shall be
2 per cent.” ;

It is believed that this step has been taken to equalize matters,
as in the case of lumber sold from a mill to a wholesaler, 1 per cent.
will be levied; then when the wholesaler sold a retailer or other con-
sumer, another 1 per cent. would be exacted. On this lot of lum-
ber, the Government would be getting 2 per cent., while if the sale
were made direct by a manufacturer to a retailer, without passing
through the hands of a wholesaler, under the regulation as at first
exacted, there would be only 1 per cent. collected. The tendency
might thus be for the retailers or large consumers to purchase direct
from the mill and the lumber would in this manner escape an addi-
tional 1 per cent. To guard against this contingency when sales
are made direct by lumber manufacturers to retailers or consumers,
the tax payable is 2 per cent.

Further Decisions of Interest

The Canadian Lumbermen’s Association has also sent out an-
other notice of further decisions by the Assistant Deputy Minister
of Inland Revenue, Ottawa, with regard to the sale tax, which is as
follows :—

“You are informed that the resolution introduced into
parliament on June 16th instant provides that a tax of 15
per cent. is to be imposed on so much of the amount paid
for boots as is in excess of $9.00 per pair, and provides fur-
ther that top boots not less than ten inches in height, such
as are used in lumbering, mining and fishing industries, or
to river driving boots, are exempt from the application of
the tax of 15 per cent.

Lumber shipped from the mill and consigned to a
stop-off for sorting or re-handling, for which a charge for
labor only is incurred, is subject to the Sales Tax when
billed to the consumer and if the charge for sorting or re-
handling at the stop-off point is included in the cost to the
customer, then the tax is to be computed on a price, in-
cluding he charge for such sorting or re-handling.

a ay eae pe >
. ; Wee

Dominion Lumber & Coal Co. of Hamilton, Ont., say that they
think a large number of retail lumbermen have lost money through
a planing mill, and a representative of the firm, in discussing the
question, said “I attribute this to the fact that many retailers do
not have sufficient work to keep even a small planing mill going
steadily and also the fact that they do not keep proper tab on the
overhead expenses. As a consequence their profits, on the other
end of the business are being eaten up by the planing mill. My own
opinion is that in the majority of cases the money would be better
invested ‘in stock and have no machinery except rip and cross-cut
saws.” ‘

W. F. Vilas Co., Cowansville, Que., regret that they have
no knowledge or experience in regard to whether it pays the retail
lumberman to operate a planing mill.

The Green Lumber Co., Limited, St. Thomas, Ont., say they
do not keep a separate account in regard to the operation of their
planing mill and lumber yard, and are, therefore, not able to state ~
definitely whether the former is a paying adjunct.

E. Murphy, Mount Forest, Ont., replies that he is not run- —

ning a planing mill in connection with -his lumber yard and he has
no intention of operating such a mill as he cannot see where it
would pay.

wx:

The Operation of the One Per Cent Sales Tax

As respects loading stakes and fastenings of wire, re-
quired on shipments of flat or gondola cars, you are in-
formed that the Sales Tax is applicable to such fastenings
if a charge therefor is made to the customer.

With respect to slabs sold for fuel purposes, you are in-
formed that the Resolution before Parliament provides that
wood used for fuel purposes is exempt from payment of ©
the Sales Tax.”

The above covers the new regulations introduced by the
Minister of Finance on Wednesday, the 16th inst.

“Retail lumber yards selling lumber to contractors who
use it in building homes and factories under contract have to
add sales tax to their invoices. Sale tax is not payable by
retail lumber yards on lumber sold for construction in small
quantities to private individuals. In these matters, the test
is whether the material sold is to be resold. If it is to be
resold, tax is payable. It is, however, not payable on goods
sold by retailers to ultimate user or consumer.”

In regard to the 1 per cent. tax, it appears that certain retail lum-
bermen do not levy this when their customers are farmers oF
private citizens, and the material is not intended to be resold, but is
used directly by the purchaser. If any stock has been “milled, of
course the 1 per cent. will have to be collected, but in the case of ©
rough lumber, shingles, lath, hardwood flooring, stock doors, etc., un-
less sold to a contractor or speculative builder, no levy is being made
by many retailers. The point is quite clear that unless the material
has been “milled” or is intended for resale or is disposed of to a con-
tractor, such transactions do not come under the new regulations.

The majority of retail lumbermen, however, operate planing mills
or have rip saws, cut-off saws and other equipment, and the bulk of
their trade is with contractors, sub-contractors, speculative builders.
etc.; it would therefore appear as if the 1 per cent. tax will apply in
the majority of cases.

In answer to a series of questions which were submitted recently
in the “Canada Lumberman” an error appeared, and for that reason
the question is hereby repeated.

If a wholesaler has lumber which is still in the manufacturer's

hands, but has been invoiced by the manufacturer at the beginning
of the year, or prior to May 19th, and paid for by the wholesaler, and

is in the wholesaler’s possession in the manufacturer's yard, should —
the manufacturer charge the 1 per cent. on this stock when it is be- —
ing moved? If your answer be no, does the wholesaler charge the $s
tax on his invoice to the customer, and the wholesaler remit to the ”

Government? Ans.—(1) No; (2) Yes.
Where Two Per Cent. is Paid

The following clause may also be of interest to the lumber in- _

dustry :

a tax of one per cent. shall be imposed, levied and collected on sales

Captain Dollar Urges Eastern Trade
Capt. Robert Dollar, the noted lumberman and shipping king

who is now seventy-six years of age and feels good, as he says, for —

twenty years more, in a recent stirring address before the Canadian
Manufacturers’ Association at their annual gathering in Vancouver,
spoke optimistically and whole-heartedly in favor of developing trade
with the Orient to which he proposes devoting the remainder of his
days. One-eighth of the human race, he stated, lived on the Yangtse
River and its tributaries. In a single province there were 70,000,000
people, who had been self-supporting so far, but with a vast market
among them.

. “T say to you eastern manufacturers,” added Captain Dollar,
“isn’t it about time you came over and got into the swim? No one is

man and shipping magnate who ad-

going to present business to you on a silver platter. You must get
out and work for it. To get the trade in China, don’t send a boy.
Go after it yourselves. You can get the trade, and you are going to
need it.”

The purchasing power of China was increasing, he stated, and .

manufacturing was developing there. Fifteen cotton mills had been
built in China in the past two years. China was the second greatest
cotton consumer on earth, and Japan was doing a big business there,
too. His ships were actually taking raw cotton to Japan and bring-
ing manufactured cotton back to Canada.

Captain Dollar expressed his pleasure at the interest Canada
was taking in foreign trade, but declared this interest still far from

enough. No country could become great without foreign trade. Of

the cargoes his steamers brought to Vancouver, 2 per cent. was
billed to Eastern Canada, 16 per cent. ostensibly stayed in Vancouver,
but a large share of this really found its way south of the line. The
remaining 82 per cent. went direct to the United States. He had

‘traced a great deal of this, and found that much of it, after being

manufactured in industrial cities in the Middle West, found its way
across the boundary to Canadian consumers. This was not as it
should be. Canadian manufacturers should go to the source of sup-
ply to get the goods and manufacture them.

According to figures furnished by Internationa! Paper Company
peeled wood is today selling at $34 a cord delivered at the mill, com-
pared with less than $25 last year. Approximately 1 3-10 tons of wood
are consumed in the manufacture of a ton of newsprint. The cost of
labor has advanced from $8.68 a ton in 1915 to $25 under the new
wage scale, which went into effect May 1 last.

on hand, these will be soon absorbed directly building is started on a
great scale, and there are indications that extensive building will soon
be commenced.

Inspection Rules Remain As They Are

The Twenty-third Annual
Convention: of the National
Hardwood Association, which

was held in Chicago on June 17th
and 18th, was attended by over
1000 delegates from various parts
of the United States and Canada.
The gathering was in every way
an outstanding success and was
one of the most satisfactory as-
semblies ever held by the Associ-
ation. Among those present
from Toronto were J. A. Me
Bean (who is the Canadian re-
presentative of the Inspection
Rules Committee), Frank Kent,
R. McDonagh, W. T. Cole, J.
W. Jacobson, W. C. Shreiner,
J. M. Donovan, Toronto; T. R.
Dunn of T. R. Dunn Lumber Co.,
Winnipeg, and others.

A. E. Clark, who has been
a director of the Association for
the past three years, retired, and

J. A. McBean, Toronto
George G. Goodfellow of Montreal, was elected as the representa-

tive from Canada. ‘The social functions were particularly attractive,
the annual banquet in the Gold Room of. the Congress Hotel, being
an outstanding feature.

Horace F. Taylor, of Buffalo, was unanimously elected presi-
dent for the coming year, being placed in nomination by Hugh Me-

Lean of Buffalo, whe is one of the stalwart members of the Associ- ~

ation and a brother »f Angus McLean of the Bathurst Lumber Co.;
Bathurst, N. B.. Mr. Taylor’s name was seconded by Hon. J. M.

Woods of Boston, who was present at the annual convention of the _

Canadian Lumbermen’s Association in Quebec in February last, and
delivered a bright, happy address. Mr. Taylor who is well known
to many members of the hardwood trade in Canada, is an earnest,
thorough-going and progressive lumberman, and much satisfaction
is evinced over his elevation .to the highest position in the gift of the
members.

While several recommendations for the revision of the rules for
inspection were made by the Inspection Rules Committee, of which
Mr. McBean of Toronto is the Canadian representative, it was de-

cided that the rules should stand as at present, and the proposed

amendments were voted down. The prevailing opinion seemed to

be to leave well enough alone, and, on the whole, the rules are

working out very well and to the satisfaction of the Association.
The official programme, issued by the Association, was a hand-

some book and contained pictures of John A McBean and John E.

Banks and H. F. Holton, of Toronto, who are inspectors employed
by the Association. The many friends of Mr. McBean, who for
several years past has taken an active interest in the Association,
believe that he will be re-appointed a member of the Inspection Rules
Committee. He has been in the hardwood business im company with
F, T. Verrall under the name of McBean & Verrall for the past
twenty-five years. Their offices and yards since 1903 have been at
the foot of Bathurst St., and previous to that they occupied quarters
at Victoria and Lombard Sts. The firm handle practically every
known line of American and Canadian hardwood, and in their yards
are no less than twenty-five or thirty varieties from all parts of the
continent.

A timber deal involving $400,000 has been closed by the Rat Port-
age Lumber Company in the sale of valuable limits at the south-west-
ern corner of Vancouver Island. The purchaser is John W. Blodgett
of Grand Rapids, Michigan.

It is not the man who works the hardest, nor the man
who works the longest that accomplishes most—it is the

man who works the most intelligently.

Remember the Woman

Again, and yet again, let us urge you not to overlook the woman
of the hoyse, when you are trying to sell better homes or to sell Im-
provements for the home. She is by far the most interested person —
in the home, and she is the court of first and last report when hh
comes to improving the interior of her home. i

Do you suppose there is a woman on earth who is old enough,
or disgruntled enough with life, so that she would not appreciate a
beautiful beveled mirror door? mg

Never! ' ae

There ain’t no sech animal.

Then show such doors—or their pictures—to every woman in
your community. Have your door manufacturer send you one or two
mirrored doors, just as a starter, and also send you a little insert tor
your envelopes, showing a cut of that door. Put a price on that
door delivered and hung in her home, and send one to every woma).
in your community. Pei"

It would be your best advertisement of the year.

Sell them for Christmas presents. A beautiful mirrored doos
costs less money than the average person believes they do. Show
them the facts. The average woman would think more of a mirrorea
door for a Christmas present than she would of a piece of jewelry _
costing several times as much.

We take the mirrored door just for example. There are scores
of other things in the list of interior decorations that you can sell,
with the same facility and to the same advantage. 2 Ne

Try these things. There is nothing unreasonable about any ol
them, and the sale of one set of interior improvements will be a big
ad for your business, and will help you sell others. Make a special
effort on the first one you go after, so that you will have that one to
talk about. If you do a good job of the first one, it will advertise
itself, because the woman of the house is going to do that for you-—
and on her own behalf—Gulf Coast Lumberman.

Hemlock is indeed an unusual tree, from many and varied view-
points. It combines the drooping beauty of a forest nymph with the
hardy stateliness of a forest monarch. Drooping I suppose, because
just a wee bit ashamed of old Socrates and his historical cup of
poisoned hemlock; hardy and stately because of its tall, straight
growth as a sturdy child of the great Northern forests. Who could
ask for more?

nesota, and south to Georgia, while the Western hemlock is found
from Southern Alaska to Central California and east to Idaho.

'The hemlock belongs to the pine family and resembles the pine
in many ways, among which is the tall straight trunk and thick fur-
7h rowed bark. The branches are conical in shape, horizontal, and a
1 bit drooping. The average growth of a hemlock is from sixty to one
ts hundred feet in height and is covered its entire length with reddish
gray, scaly bark that becomes rough and furrowed with age. The
4 leaves are narrow, very lustrous, and small, being about one half inch

_ long, the same size as the cones. The hemlock is generally found in
the coldest regions in America, and favors damp and rocky ground
and dense growth.

The hemlock gives us many kinds of timber, coarse grained and

thick bark. From this tannin is largely taken. This tannin is ex
tremely valuable in leather manufacturing and contains medicir
properties. In horticultural art, the hemlock has been developed int
a great variety of forms, and is featured in tree nurseries. So famou
is the hemlock along these lines, that in Alaska and the far North-
west, shipments of hemlock to Europe for landscape painting wa
carried on extensively before the world war. AL
Hemlock is one of the woods that is comparatively easy to n
ket and large quantities of hemlock lumber can be found in retaii
lumber yards throughout the East, Middle West, and the North
west. There is always a steady demand for hemlock lumber, |

In British Columbia the hemlock growth is said to be-a

One of the greatest scourges of the hemlock are the tat in ga

: _ Splendid New Mill Wiped Out By Fire

_ . Neweastle, N. B., suffered a severe loss by fire recently when the

fine new saw mill belonging to James Robinson was razed to the
ground. The mill had a daily sawing capacity of 65,000 feet. The

fire, which was first discovered about four o’clock, had made such
headway that all efforts to combat it were futile, and in one hour the

large structure and its equipment was a smouldering mass of ruins.

The origin of the fire is unknown.

: The firemen realizing that the mill was doomed, turned their ser-

vices to the saving of the lumber piles which were in close proximity.

_ The well-equipped mill of James Robinson, of Newcastle, N.B., recently
ay : burned to the ground

_ The morning was calm, and had a wind been blowing the lumber
piles which were in front of the lumber yard would no doubt have
been destroyed as well. A large quantity of princess pine boards
estimated at one million feet, and which were piled on the face of
_ the wharf was also totally destroyed. The mill was built in 1919 and
last season was its first in operation. It was considered one of the
most modern mills on the river. It is estimated that the loss will be
_ in the vicinity of $100,000. $61,000 insurance was carried on the mill.
\ In the vicinity of 100 men were employed and the loss sustaned by
Mr, Robinson as well as by the town of Newcastle is a large one.

Log Drives This Year Are Costly
The Mageau Lumber Co., Limited, of Field, Ont., state that they

have sold their entire output for this season at a very reasonable
BS price compared with the cost of taking out logs and sawing. They
ran will cut about 6,000,000 ft. b.m. this summer and expect to saw dur-

ing the coming winter between 7,000,000 ft. and 8,000,000 ft. Ordin-
ary help is not too hard to get but the company have difficulty in
securing skilled labor. such as millwrights, edger men and setters.

- The Mageau Lumber Co. report that their drive this year has
cost them more than twice as much as in former years on account
of the lack of water and unfavorable winds’ all through the month
of May and the first part of June. The late rains in June, however,
helped them get out a good proportion of their logs and they have
snow enough to keep their plant running steadily. The firm. say
__ that they receive inquiries and demands every day for lumber.

higher than previous years, and it is doubtful if there can be any

tions in from Pakesley Station, Ont., starting about the middle of

Lumbermen Want Drop in Log Prices aN
Though the price of logs remains about the same, there has been
a considerable drop in the prices of lumber in British Columbia, and
the mills are now engaged in arguing with the loggers in an endeavor
gossip in the lumber trade. It is claimed by some mills that loggers —
are getting about a 100 per cent. on their logs and it is thought by
many that log prices will be lower soon, says a recent despatch. ;
At present it is reported that British Columbia fir lumber market
for railroad shipments. has dropped about $7 a thousand feet. Three >
months ago when the peak of the high prices was reached shiplap was ~
bringing $40 at the mills. Now it is $33. This same 1 :aterial was —
sold before the war at $18 to $21 a thousand. No. 1 coiimon rough
timbers are now about $34, and were $40 three months .go. Rough
inch boards are only produced by the small mills. They sl at about ~
$28 to $29. Dimension stuff, S 1 Sl E, reached $39: at the highwater
mark in February and March, and has slipped back to $32.50. ,
In the cedar shingle market the drop in price has been even more
pronounced. It is said by some that one cause for this has been that
the price was raised to such an extent that it enabled the patent roof-—
ing companies to undersell the cedar shingle men. Shingles known —
to the trade as 5X, the best grade manufactured for the United ©
States market, were $7.50, but now are $5.25. The Canadian grade,
thinner than the United States market standard but of a similar qual-
ity, was $6.25 and is now $4.10. a
British Columbia prices, it is said, are set by the United States .—
markets and the question as to whether the present lumber prices will
go still lower depends on the United States mills. If the production
of the mills across the line is sufficient to meet the demand. it will
mean that there will be an overproduction of lumber in Canada and a
resultant drop in prices. On the other hand, if the United States can-
not supply its own requirements, the Canadian market will remain —
firm at figures close to the present prices.
The export trade is in better condition than the railroad trade.
Export mills are finding difficulty in obtaining ships to meet the de-
mands. The foreign market is hungry for lumber, and the necessity
is for vessels. Consequently the export prices will remain firm at
Lumber for export brings the higher
prices because of the fact that only most select grades are exported,
and there is an additional overhead on export material caused by wharf.
dues, delays in shipment and loading, and possibly loss to mills in long
waits for ships.

Mills, Limited, of Wattsburg, is actively engaged on preliminary con-
struction work on a sawmill and a planing mill that will be the largest
in the interior, having a capacity of 250,000 feet per day, or 35,000,00(
to 40,000,000 feet per year. .

Lawrence & Workman, owners of the Stewart sawmill at Stewart,
B.C., have recently enlarged their plant, which now has a cutting
capacity of 20,000 feet per day. The Weyerhauser timber limits on
the Marmot River have been taken over and will be logged off.
Ultimately an export business is planned.

The Langley Prairie Mfg. Co., Limited, New Westminster, B.C.,
were recently incorporated to manufacture and deal in saw logs,
shingle bolts and lumber of all kinds. Capital $100,000. W. Brandon
and |. Gibbon, both of the municipality of Langley Prairie, B. C., are
two of the incorporators.

Shingle packers and weavers of the Canadian Western Lumber
Co, at Fraser Mills. went on strike recently, and the shingle mill
was shut down. Many shingle mills in the West have closed tem-
porarily owing to the collapse of the market. Shingle weavers’ wages
have advanced in the past year from about 17c a thousand to about

2c.

According to an official statement issued by the Hon. T. D.

‘Pattullo, Minister of Lands for British Columbia, timber sales com-
pleted during the month of April last amounted in value to $88,878

as against $25,295 for the correspodinng month in 1919. For the

* month of April, 1918, however, the value of completed sales did not

exceed $6,849.

Among the companies recently incorporated in British Colum
bia are the following :—Northwestern Box Co., Limited, Vancouver,
capital $10,000; Thunder River Lumber Co., Vancouver, capital
$200,000; Palmer-Diven Logging Co., Vancouver, $200,000. An extra
provincial license has been granted the E. Bashan Lumber Co., Lim-
ited, of Edmonton, capital $100,000.

The White Rock Tie & Lumber Co., Limited, White Rock, B.C.,
has begun operations. The plant will handle dimension timbers, ties
and shiplap lumber and will turn out 20,000 feet a day. The timber
supplies, from which the company will do its own logging, are con-
veniently located and accessible, and there is ample supply to keep the
mill running a number of years. G. M. Thrift is the manager of the
company, all members of which are citizens of White Rock.

The McLaren Lumber Co. have completed a preliminary survey
on the banks of the Old Man River near Macleod in Southern Alberta,
and intend building a large new sawmill. It is proposed to erect a
dam across the river. Col, Petichen, head of the McLaren Co., has
been in Macleod for some time in connection with the new project.
The company ask certain concessions from the town, including a
site, free power for running machinery during construction, free
water, fire protection, a proportion of the cost of building a necessary
railway spur and a fixed rate of taxation.

Among recent incorporations in British Columbia are the Lorne
E. Butt Lumber & Shingle Mills, Limited, Vancouver, capital $25,-

000; Munson Sawmills of Kelowna, $10,000; Killarney Loggers, Van-

couver, $25,000; Georgia Lake Logging Co., Victoria, $100,000;
Osprey Lumber Products, Vancouver, $75,000. An extra provincial
license has been granted to J. E. Morris Lumber Co., of Seattle, with
a capital stock of $100,000.

The Massett Timber Co. are conducting investigations at Gra-
ham Island with a view to the establishment of a paper mill on the
company’s property there. The water-power is being tested and from
present reports the indications are in favor of going ahead with the
project. The companies claim that they are in a position to deevlop
from 5,000 to 10,000 horse power. The firm have five hundred men
at work in its logging operations on the island. Lumber is being
shipped to the United Kingdom and various parts of the Dominion.

A timber deal involving $400,000 has been closed by the Rat

Scores Metric System in Lumbering

Propaganda originating in-the World Trade Club of San Fran-
cisco, Cal., has been very active for some time in an endeavor to
secure laws which will compel the use of the metric system of mea-
sures in the United States. Much literature has been circulated and
it has reached all parts of the country. Its purpose has been chiefly
to reach persons, associations, and societies, and through them to
influence Congress to enact laws making the use of the metric system
compulsory ; thereby replacing most of the measurements now in us¢€
in this country, such as inches, feet, miles, acres, quarts, gallons, —
barrels, ounces, pounds, tons, and many more with which the people —
have always ben familiar, says the “American Lumberman.”

That propaganda has gone far, and those who have considered —
it as something harmless and not calling for any particular action one
way or the other, may be mistaken. Those who desire a change from
what we have to the metric system have nothing to fear, but tha
is not true of those who do not desire such a change. The danger |
that they may remain careless and unconcerned until they suddenh
discover that the compulsory use of the metric system has bet
brought about by an act of Congress, simply because the metric ad
vocates have been active and others have remained indifferent. 7 | "
is real danger that this may happen. pei

Do lumbermen want this metric system substituted for what we
have? If they do, they will help get it by remaining passive, and if
they do not want it their interest lies in making their opposition
known. They should bear in mind that the propagandists are not
seeking an optional law, permitting the use of the metric system by
those who desire to do so, and the continued use of our present mea-
surements by those who prefer them. We have had that law in the
United States since 1866. Anybody is free to use the metric system’
now ; but the proposed law is to be compulsory, and if it sueceeds, our
present measurements will be outlawed.

Some people might make the change without very great incon-
venience; but how would it affect the lumber business? The substi-
tution of new machines for those now in use would be costly. Every
machine and apparatus built to cut or dress lumber on the basis of
feet and inches would be replaced or remodeled to measure by meters
and fractions of meters. All measuring rules, tapes, and gages would
go to the junk heap, for they could no longer be employed. All price
lists based on dimensions would have to go. Charts, tables, :
formulas, for rapid calculation and measurement would disappear;
and others, based on the meter, would be needed, at a great expendi-
ture of time, money, and patience. The terms of deeds, leases, and
conveyances, dealing with land, would be written in a new language
where the words acre, rod, foot, chain, and mile could not be em-
ployed. Voluminous rate tables dealing with transportation, would
become useless.
as it was before would be money, the dollar, dime, and cent.

That is only part of it. The new system would have to be learned
by everybody from the president of the company down to the men at
the sorting chains and in the yards. They think in feet and inches
now; but they would need to acquaint themselves with another kind
of thinking. Advocates of the metric system say it is easy to learn.
Doubtless a person of average intelligence could learn it in time, but
the point is, is the change wanted? Is it worth while? Would its-
cost in money and time be justified? If lumbermen think it would
not be a good thing to change to the metric system at this time, they
ought to make their position known without delay.

Two Pulp Plants for Fort William

Word received from Fort William is to the effect that there are

bright prospects for the establishment of two new pulp and paper in- —
The estimated expendi-

dustries in that city within the near future.
ture is around $4,000,000. It is reported one company will extend
$3,500,000 in the erection of a plant and the other,. which will be a

smaller one, will build a half million dollar pulp mill. It is understood
the concerns have selected the necessary limits, secured their sites,
and agreements made by the city are pretty well understood and sat-
isfactory. One pulp plant will have a capacity of 100 tons and the
other 35 tons, and it is pointed out that neither of them happens to
be the Great Lakes Pulp & Paper Co., which proposition still looms
in the offing. Both propositions are backed by substantial interests.

Sun parlors and sleeping porches will soon be in demand. Are
you ready to supply them?

Ontario Retailers Going to North Bay

The annual outing of the Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Associ-
ation will be held at North Bay and Lake Nipissing on July 30th and
3lst, August Ist and 2nd. Secretary Boultbee, of Toronto, is making
all arrangements for the trip and it is expected that the attendance
will be the largest on record.

It will be remembered that last year the dealers had a delightful
visit to Midland and Penetanguishene, and a splendid sail up the
Georgian Bay to Parry Sound, where some fishing was indulged in
with more or less success. This year all the enjoyable features of
1919 will be in store for the excursionists, who will leave Toronto by
the evening train on Thursday, July 29th, arriving at North Bay on
Friday morning, July. 30th. Mayor Ferguson, of North Bay, has as-
sured the guests of a cordial welcome and A. J. Young, of the Young
Lumber Co., North Bay, and others are ably seconding the proposition.

The details of the trip are not yet complete but a tentative out-
line is as follows:

Thursday. July 29th—Leave Toronto by evening train for North
Bay.

Friday, July 30th—Arrive at North Bay. Breakfast at Pacific
Hotel.

9.30 A.M.—Leave by motor for Callander to visit the mills of J.
B. Smith & Sons and A. B. Gordon & Co.

12. noon—Lunch at Callander. Afternoon, back to North Bay

and visit the plant of Wm. Milne & Sons at Trout Mills, followed by
a fishing trip on Trout Lake.
' Saturday, July 31st, A.M—Leave by train for Cache Bay to visit
sawmills of George Gordon & Co., then motor to Sturgeon Falls to
see the pulp and paper enterprises of the Spanish River Pulp & Paper
Mills.

12.00 o’clock noon—Lunch at Sturgeon Falls.

2.00 P.M.—Leave by steamer “Northern Belle” for French River
and Chaudiere Falls, remaining there overnight and Sunday, August
Ist.

Monday, August 2nd (which is Toronto’s Civic Holiday as well as
the Civic Holiday of a number of other cities and towns in Ontario)
will be spent in North Bay, and arrangements will be made for fish-
ing, sightseeing, motoring, etc.

Monday evening—Return to Toronto by night train.

It is expected that the majority of the delegates from western On-
tario and Toronto will assemble in Toronto for the trip, while those
from Ottawa and district will proceed to North Bay by train from
‘the Capital. The official programme will be issued about the middle
of the month.

John B. Reid, of Toronto, president of the Association, and Secre-
tary Boultbee, state that all retail lumbermen will be welcome, wheth-
er members of fhe Association or not, and that this will be the best
trip ever.

What French River Improvement Means

(See Illustration at top of page)

Give Northern Ontario her waterway, and she gives “The Nation-

al” its most economic grain route.

Effects savings by water borne coal from Erie ports of $1,265,726.
06 yearly.

Provides cheaper transportation for Northern Ontario’s $70,-
000,000 yearly exports, mainly going to Great Lake ports.

Enhance value of standing white pine and spruce and paper manu-
facture $40,000,000 by water borne rates.

Generates elctric power at the three locks, which is urgently
required. Aside from savings, power receipts alone will pay 5 per
cent, interest on total construction.

Affords “National,” C. P. R. and G. T. R. new grain routes to
Montreal, shorter than Buffalo to New York haul, thereby diverting
the flow of 66 per cent. Canadian wheat now going to American At.
lantic ports.

New Montreal Lumber Company

_ The Rolland Lumber Co., Limited, with headquarters at 62 St.
James Street, Montreal, has just been incorporated. The orig-
inator and main stockholder is Mr. Louis S. Rolland, formerly secre-
tary of Blair & Rolland, Limited, of Montreal. Mr. Rolland resign-
ed his position in December 31st last, to go to England and the Con-

tinent for one of the largest import, export and banking organiza- -

tions, in connection with their lumber department. Upon returning
to Montreal in April last, he devoted his time towards completing
his mission, upon termination of which he formed the Rolland Lum-
ber Co., Limited.

The management and general policy of the company will be sole-
ly in the hands of Mr. Rolland. Stocks of lumber to be carried will
consist of a range of Canadian spruce and white pine in assortments
of thicknesses and widths.

Big Timber Exhibition in London

The Department of Overseas Trade is organizing an exhibition
of timbers grown within the British Empire, to take place at the
Holland Park skating rink, London, from July 5 to 17.

‘The main object. “of the exhibition is to bring prominently before
architects, inspectors, firms who have to specify timbers in their
contracts, as well as the users and consumers of timbers, the full
range of Imperial-grown timbers, and especially those timbers which
up to the present are only very slightly, if at all, mriow n in this coun-
try. At the same time the ‘exhibition will demonstrate the chief
uses for which such timbers are suitable.

The classifications embraces:

(a) Specimens of timber; (b) Exhibits demonstrating the var-
ious uses to which timbers are put—viz., floors, panelling, staircases,
furniture, plywood,.and articles of everyday use; (c) Wood-pulp.

ih ages Mr. Shreiner Carried off Price

Hil W. C. Schreimer, of Anderson, Schreiner & Mawson, wholesale
lumbermen, Toronto, attended the recent gathering of the National
Hardwood Lumber Association in Chicago. There were three large
handsomely framed pictures of trees exhibited by the “American Lum-
_ beerman,” and prizes were awarded to the delegates who could name
_ correctly the varieties shown, their physical features, where grown,
i) ete. Mr. Shreiner has a practical acquaintance with all’ kinds of woods
and at’ once spotted the pictorial specimens as those of red cherry
_ ‘white oak and soft elm. He also told where these trees were grown
__and to what uses the lumber from them was put. Mr. Shreiner was
successful in carrying off second prize and is now receiving the con-
gratulations of his many friends in the industry. :

iit It is stated that a number of delegates were arboreal authorities
enough to know that the*pictures represented trees, but that.was as
far as their knowledge extended.

Lumberman Will Confer With Railways

A. E. Eckardt, chairman of the Transportation Committee, Whole-
sale Lumber Dealers’ Association, Toronto, and D. C. Johnston, a
member of that committee, were in Ottawa recently, where they ap-
peared before the Dominion Railway Board in opposition to the new
railway tariff, No. 14.
Several amendments were pressed for, as outlined in the last edi-
tion of the “Canada Lumberman.”: The argumerits of the deputation
were listened to by the Board with considerable interest and the one
which seemed to arouse the most contention was the following re-
_ specting scaling: If delivery agent is unable to give consignee scaling
particulars of a car that has originated at a track scale station, or has
_ passed en route a track scale, the Railway Company must accept pay-
ment of freight on the basis of minimum weight. The Railway Com-
pany to have the right to make amended claim as soon as scaling par-
-_ ticulars are ascertained.
It is understood that the lumbermen will have a conference shortly
with the representatives of the Canadian Freight Association in an
effort to come to an amicable adjustment on the points raised, and if
the outcome is not successful, it is probable that another hearing will
a: ‘come up before the Dominion Railway Commissioners.

Wood an Imported Luxury in France

France is in a situation where the limited supply and high cost

of timber have placed wood practically in the class of imported lux-
_ uries, therefore every part of the tree is used, down to the small
twigs which are bound in fagots. Notwithstanding the intensive
ne care of her forests, France is still compelled to import from 30 to
40 per cent. of the timber which she requires. The effect of the
high cost of timber upon French industries and upon the conven-
~ ience and comforts of her farming population is very apparent. In
fact, most French farmers are still getting on with the identical
buildings and farm structures which their great-grandfathers used
before them. The per capita consumption of lumber, in France is
not over 100 board feet. yearly or less than one-third of what the
average American uses. The shortage of lumber and its high cost
is one of the great industrial handicaps of the country.

British Columbia Makes Calls

t
Geo. A. Gall, representing the Piercy Lumber Company, Limited,

an of Vancouver, B. C., was in the city for a few days calling on whole-
i __ salers and retailers and acquiring information regarding market condi-
ite tions in this big distributing centre, says the “Mississippi Valley

‘Lumberman” of Minneapolis.
“ He has no first-hand information, he said,-concerning trade con-
ditions in the lumber producing district of British Columbia. He left
home about the middle of May, stopping over at various points in the
prairie districts in the northwest provinces. At the time he left, the
‘market had began to sag and he understands from letters and tele-
grams received that there has been quite a decline in prices in the last
two weeks. When he left Winnipeg, dimension was being offered on
- ‘the basis of $40 at wholesale. There had recently developed quite an
_ intense industrial war between the retail lumbermen of that metropolis.
iW The cutting of prices, instead of stimulating trade, had shut. off
' considerable buying. Customers who had been in the market almost
continuously, frankly tell the dealer that they are going to hold off
i} and get the benefit of still lower prices. Mr. Gall says that there is
some buying being done by the country yards, although most of them
have a fair stock on hand consisting of from eight to twelve cars at
the small points and 25 or more at the larger ones. Crop prospects,
_ * however, were very encouraging and the indications are that they will
have a normal retail trade and the dealers will be compelled to place
orders a little later in the season. :

Editor, Canada Panmoer man: pss

I have noticed in recent editions of your paper various interest-
ing articles on the grading of lumber, and am pleased that you are

_ devoting considerable space to this instructive subject. It is one to
_which’too much attention cannot be given at the present time in
view of the many misunderstandings that arise and the wide differ-

“ ences of opinion that exist in many quarters.

I wish to give you my ideas of the methods which I think should
be employed in grading lumber or standardizing grades, if desired.
Ge I have outlined these only in the rough and think I have provided
for all that is necessary ; in fact one or two less might do fairly well.

_ There are many names of grades handed: down through time to cover
the particular uses to which lumber is put, and it will do good to
hs continue the use of these, such as good sidings; good shorts; good

ce Sasi No. 1, 2 and 3 cuts; shelving; No. 1, 2 and 3 common ;
pat No. hy 5A and 3 dressing, fine dressing; common dressing; No. 1,
as _and 3 shelving; common; box; No. 1, 2, 3 and 4, and if making two
, \ \ grades out.of No. 3, the top half could be called “Selected No. 35°
es 5 F ibat I prefer using the present names with which everyone is familiar.

cutting and bad rot.

In making cull grades all depends on manufacture, as to how
“much you rip, trim or cut to get soft rot out, when the grade gets
below a No. 1 mill cull. The cut up grades are in a class by them-
Be “i apihyres: depending on the amount, or percentage of profitable factory
Raye <Cieae cutting in each piece largely, with the balance of the piece
serviceable for smaller sound cutting, and short clear cuts, but no
cull lumber practically.

NA cae No. 1 cutups averaging 2/3 profitable factory cutting.
‘y No. 2 cutups averaging one half profitable factory cutting.
pei eee Secale 3: cutups averaging 1/3 profitable factory cutting.
_-~-—'No« 4 cutups averaging \% profitable factory cutting. This No.

ee sh 4 cutting. is only made in special cases and is always found in No.
4 deal quality.
‘The deal grading is the basis of inspection of white pine lum-
ber, and you cannot get away from the lines providing the grades,
ce eo without getting in trouble. Not following the natural dividing line
ot ae grades, makes the grades not uniform, and means no inspection
(oat all. I have followed the dividing lines of deal grading, just refer-
ae ring to No. 1 deal, as I think when people pay such a high price for
it, they should not receive pieces with so many knots, even fine

oe dressing knots, and one face lumber, and should be at home in No.
2 deal.

¥ The No. 3 deal has a range of two grades, and there is a big

ifference in a piece around the very top end, close to the line of

No. 2 deal grade, or a liner between, or a line piece that you put one

in upper grade, and the next like piece in lower grade, and a piece

> a is on the line of the low end of No. 3 deal, or liner on the No. 4
lea, .

‘Therefore, to suit all markets, I would make two grades out of
os No. 3 deal, dividing into No. 1 and No. 2 barn. The reason for
taking coarse box out of No. 4 deal is that knots wont dress and
a in and cull defects, splits, worm holes and such would be bet-
ter with No. 1 mill culls for box uses, it being a grade that part is
- better cut up on account of hole defects and hard red streaks. The
No. 2 cull makes a good sheeting for rough purposes. The No. 3
— mill cull all depends on the manufacture, what kind of a grade it is,
is useful for many purposes. No. 2 deal and No. 4 deal grades
ral ade ates do not need any changing except to low end

Grading of lumber, standardizing grades to suit all kinds of °

out of No. 1 deal into No. 2 deal and rough box out of No. 4 deal into
box culls.

Every lumberman in the Eastern export and U. S. and Canada,
has been following the above lines, and that is what should be stan
dardized. It would be a simple matter, and take only a short time
to make the grades right. Views with a moving picture machine
should be taken of one side of all pieces and then of the other side.
These pictures should then be put in a book, defining all defects
in each grade, and everything pertaining to it, and also pointing out
all United States eastern grades, and all exports grades, showing how
they fit in to our Canadian grades. We could also treat with the
manufacture of lumber, defining everything pertaining to the sawing ©
and each operation in mill, grading , piling, shipping, sizing, etc., in —
fact showing how lumber at each large mill is graded, piled and
shipped.

It appears to me that a book setting forth all this in detail, to
every lumberman doing business, would be worth $50.00 as its value)
would be priceless.

At the Chateau Laurier recently, an old lumberman frien of
mine said he had been in Ottawa a week trying to get a few cars
loaded. He could not depend on the man measuring to make the
grades right to suit the customer, although the firm and the man
measuring were willing to ship the product right.

Many lumbermen have to leave their offices at present to try ;
and get lumber shipped, waiting on cars and losing time, when such
a book I speak of would train any number of men to ship and atSer
to suit the world’s market.

I could do this and make the book as far reaching as was neces-
sary, backed up by the most practical lumbermen doing business for
the past thirty years or more,—men who are recognized authorities
as to the grades put up by the best firms in Canada and the United
States. |

The “Canada Lumberman” could sell such a book to every man |
in any line of the lumber trade, and any firm could not get a better
investment for the money. Just one week travelling on the road to-day
and $50.00 is spent on account of the confusion of grades, waiting
for cars, as a man has to be sent to look after the shipment. There
are sO many misrepresentations of stock, misunderstandings, and
the high cost of doing business, all on account of no uniformity.
The market is short of many specialties and lumber is manufac-
tured with which the market is oversupplied. This all shows that
no one is keeping in touch with the market needs, and the cutting”
of lumber is going on without the mills knowing what to cut that |
will sell readily. We should not pile up lumber that will lie on a
yard for years unsold.

I know. a good book is needed and with my thirty-two. years’ |
experience along these lines, I could carry out the important. work.
With the use of a good moving picture machine I certainly could do
all in a practical manner. I would do the grading with, say, two men
to handle the lumber at the mill or sorting yard “when they are ship-
ping or grading. A trip could be made to all mills of large firms,
making it cover all necessary lines and giving demonstrations in
every district once a year, thus affording lumbermen and inspectors
a chance to brush up on any point on which they are in doubt. It
does not really matter whether the manufacturers standardize
grades or not. Wholesalers and buyers of lumber, after they have —
bought, can ship out as they like to suit their customers. There is |
a market for such a book that cannot be turned down on account of |
wrong grading. I know of no better investment for the money for
employees of each firm, and young men could learn in four months
what it new requires the average lumberman half a lifetime to mas-
ter and some never get it all. They do not have the opportunity to
travel. I have tried roughly in this letter to touch upon some
things pertaining to lumber, but in a book everything would be cov-
ered so that there would be no doubt on the subject. ' cs

I am well known in the lumber trade, and can perform a good
service and effect a big saving along the line mentioned. I have
been out of the game a while on account of sickness but am fit again
and ready soon to get back into the work. A great waste could be
eliminated and a big saving effected each year if such a book was
prepared and it could all be done in a short time at a comparatively
small cost. Standing timber is being sold at so many prices, differ-_
ent dues, ground rents and conditions, that it requires a lot of look- ~
ing after. So many different log scales are confusing, and sales are

i i

spread over so many years and a different price, that if it keeps on
that way, it will take an army of scalers and clerks to look after it
all.

Sitka Spruce Suitable for Britain

. To ascertain to some degree of accuracy the timber resources of
the British Empire; to devise means, to-secure adequate supplies for
Empire needs, and to enable the United Kingdom, which imports
more timber than any other country in the world, to derive a larger
proportion of her imported timber from the British Dominions, are
some of the big questions which will be discussed at the Empire For-
estry Conference in London this month.

Mr. D. Roy Cameron, officer in charge of the Dominion forest
service in the British Columbia railway belt, with headquarters
at Kamloops, is one of the delegates,

“Great Britain’s experience in the late war has taught her the ab-
solute need of conserving the.timber supply. Measures are now being
taken to go in for reforestation work on a considerable scale hy the
British Government, particularly in Scotland,” said Mr. Cameron. “It
may not be generally known that last year through the Dominion
forestry department, half a ton of Sitka spruce seed was shipped to
the British authorities. As there are 100,000 seeds to the pound. it
will be clear that this represents a very large number of trees in em-
bryo. The Sitka spruce has been found a most suitable tree for the
British climate. This year they have asked for three times as much
Sitka spruce seed, as well as for Douglas fir.

“While it is greatly to the interests of the importers of Great Brit-
ain that the timber resources of the Empire should be conserved, the
advantage of this conference will be mututal in that it should tend to
give a great impetus to inter-imperial trade in timber of all kinds.
From Great Britain’s point of view the war has shown that the nation-
al safety demands that a supply of timber be assured, even if the eco-
nomic situation does not call for urgent meeasures,” said Mr. Cameron.

Canadian Wood for Furniture Making

A leading western Ontario furniture company, in a recent letter
in regard to the use of more Canadian woods in the manufacture of
furniture at the present time, say that Canada has several fine fur-
niture woods, Jike birch, maple and elm, which are now being used
in gfeater quantities then ever owing to the scarcity and high price
of such imported wocds, as mahogany, oak, gum, etc. The firm
add :—‘The great trouble appears to ke that the Canadian sawmiller
will not put up and offer the lumber to the furniture manufacturers
in proper grades. Our lumbermen insist on sawing the best part

-of the log into sizes not suitable for the furniture trade, and the
culls and grades, not adaptable for export, they want to sell to the

furniture producers as “log run” and “common and better,” at about
the same price as they get for the best of the log. The Canadian
furniture trade are getting tired of using “Canadian” culls and pur-
chase in preference American graded stock for then they know what
they are getting.” \

Mr. H. H. Ross, of the Ross-Saskatoon Lumber Co., with head-
quarters at Waldo, B. C., is one of the most widely-known represen-
tatives of the industry in the Pacific Coast province. Although born

The Capital Stock of Riordon Merger

According to an announcement made yesterday, tne capitaliza-
tion of the new Riordon amalgamation will be $12,401,000 bonds (in-
cluding those of subsidiaries), $10,000,000 of 8 per cent. cumulative
first preferred shares, $10,000,000 of 7 per cent. convertible second pre-
ferred shares and $27,000,000 of common shares.

Of the first preferred shares of the new Riordon Company, $1,-
500,000 par value will be held by the old Riordon Company to offset
their $1,500,000 7 per cent. preferred shares now outstanding.

A further $1,500,000 has been by the Royal Securities to an Ameri-
can syndicate composed of Parinson & Burr, E. H. Rollins & Sons,
and Coffin & Burr, of Boston and New York.

The balance is being offered privately by the Royal Securities, any
unsold balance to be offered for public subscription.

The present capitalization of the old Riordon Company remains
outstanding, but the payment of the bonds will be assumed by the
new company, so that the old company will become a holding com-
pany of the shares received’ from the new company in exchange for its
assets.

The Kipawa shares will be exchanged as soon as possible for new
Riordon shares on the basis of 1!%4 shares of Riordon common for
each share of Kipawa common. :

The Ticonderoga Company will not change, but the new Riordon
Company will become the controlling shareholders owning over 60
per cent. of Ticonderoga’s stock.

The new Riordon company will also own all the capital stock of
the Gatineau Company, recently organized to take over the water
powers, timber lirfiits and mill properties of the Edwards and Gilmour-
Hughson companies.

The proceeds of the sale of the securities of the new Riordon com-
pany will be used to purchase the various properties involved, supply
funds to increase the capacity of the plants, and for the further ex-
pansion of the properties purchased.

Checking Freight on Private Sidings
_ The Transportation Department of the Canadian Manufacturers’
Association, Toronto, recently sent out the following with respect to
checking freight on private sidings:
Effective January Ist, 1917, railways in Eastern Canada
discontinued their former practice of checking freight on
private sidings. Prior to this action, several conferences
were held between members interested and representatives of
‘the railways, as a result of which, it was arragned that
under certain conditions clean bills of lading would be given
by the railways for cars loaded on private sidings; also
that shippers would use their own seals, which were satis-
factory to the railways, or would be furnished by the rail-
way with seals consecutively numbered. These seals were
to be applied by shippers to all side and end doors of cars,
as soon as loading was completed, and a record kept there-
of for comparison with seal record at destination.
Numerous complaints have been made by our members
of claims being declined by the railways for shortages at
: destination from cars loaded on private sidings, the rail-.
_ ‘ways showing that cars arrived at destination with original
seals intact. Commissioner Boyce of the Board of Rail-
way Commissioners for Canada, issued a judgment on Feb-
- ruary 27th, 1920, in complaint of T. H. Taylor Company,
Chatham, sustaining the railways in the stand taken by
them. At least some of our members have had instances
where goods loaded by them on private sidings checked
short of destination, although the railway records showed
that car arrived with oiiginal seal intact, and after the
claim for shortage had ‘been declined by the railway, cir-
cumstances had arisen which proved beyond a doubt that
goods had been removed from the car without apparently
breaking the seals. ve
It is felt that the understanding arrived at by the rail-
_ ways when our circular 121 was issued, should be revised,
‘and in order to strengthen our case, I will be glad to receive
full particulars of any instances you may have had where
shortages could be proven as having occurred after goods
were loaded in car, although seal record was apparently
perfect. Particulars of such instances should include date
and point of shipment, nature of goods, destination, and if
possible car number, together with any further particulars
which would be of assistance.

Lumber Companies All Busy in Gaspe

wh Everywhere on the north and south shore of the Lower St. Law-
rence, which is least known, yet one of the most interesting sections of

northern Canada, come reports of remarkable development planned
for this season and the future. At Ste, Anne des Monts the lumber

company operating there reports one of the most successful seasons

Both companies will employ in the neighborhood of 600 men.

tained.
_. The story of the close of the Ross mills is a dramatic one and
shows labor troubles were known even forty years ago. At that
time the shores were even more sparsely settled than. now and the
nate “lumber jacks” very often took the matter of controlling civilization

Hammering in Home Building Idea

An aggressive Southern retail lumberman believes in creating
a desire to own your home and recently published a striking adver-
tisement under the catchy caption of “It’s time you owned the key
to your own front door.” There was an attractive illustration of a_
home and a big key in the background of the picture. Here are some
of the convincing and strongly worded arguments in his announce- -
ment :— tity
“Money paid out in rent is money gone. Money paid on a home
is money saved—and earning interest every day in comfort, content-_
ment and pride of possession. iG.
“We have been these eight years or more endeavoring through ~
our advertising to instill the home ownership spirit into the minds
of the man and woman who has the rental burden around their necks,
and there are a great many renters who would own their own home
to-day had they taken our advice years ago. It is true that many
did take our advice, but to those who did not, we have only this to
say: We shall continue to talk home ownership to you, and we are _
not going to be satisfied until we have a 100 per cent. home owner- _
ship in this city. sae
“Think of the future. Think of rearing those kiddies in a little
home that is all your own, situated in a garden spot, and unfrequented ~
by landlords. 4 ;

“Do not pay any attention to the rumors you hear to the effect
that building materials are going down. It is our honest and candid _
opinion that there will be no material change in the price of lum-
ber for the next five years.

“We have a service department with a man in charge who will
gladly give you advice and assistance in your home building plans.

What a Good Fellow Really is

These are worthy purposes and, in any analysis, are of
great importance.

_ No organization can exist unless the dues which main-
tain it are paid promptly. Why not pay them cheerfully? It
will not do at all to let part of the membership pay and the
rest do nothing. It is not fair: it’s rotten. The amount of
the dues is trivial as compared with the advantages provided;
ee dues should be paid without reluctance or procrastina-

ion.

_ The good fellow who is really a good fellow meets such
obligations gladly because he feels not only that ‘he is receiy-
ing value in full but also that it is unfair and subversive of
good fellowship not to pay along with the rest of the gang. f

If there is honor among thieves, how much more should
there be the highest reciprocal relation between the members
of organizations composed of gentlemen—and a gentleman
is not a gentleman unless he is really a good fellow.

If, therefore, you belong to any organization, pay your
dues and prove that the hand clasp of your membership is
sincere.

The Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo, St. Louis, Mo., thus
observes wisely and well :—

Beauty that is only skin deep finds its parallel in the good
fellowship that is only superficial. : d.

The “good fellows” we hail from day to day, the chaps |
who share our cars, lunches and cigars, may after all beat their
Wives or starve their. children. .

Real good fellowship is Sincerity of Heart, Integrity of
Mind, Appreciation of the Rights of Others, and Loyalty to
Organization.

Many men are corking good fellows up to the point where
they are called on to do their part in support of the organiza-
tions in which they hold membership. The reasons for main-
taining an organization are usually just as valid as the years
pass as were the reasons for joining in the first place.

The purposes of organization are to foster good fellow-
ship, to promote mutual understanding of ideas and aims, to
insure the general prosperity of those represented, and in some
instances, to provide definite benefits to members’ de-
pendents.

Public Opening Model Lumber Yard

How it is Laid Out and Possesses Certain Features which
Others May Well Consider

The new Long-Bell yard at Independence, Kas., declared to be
one of the most modern retail plants in Southwestern Kansas, was
formally opened to the public on June 5. This yard is one of the
oldest of the Long-Bell yards, but, lacking certain modern features,
it was entirely rebuilt and covers a quarter of a block in the heart of
the Independence business district.

Located only half a block from the main business street of the
city, it was necessary to enclose the entire yard with a brick wall te
lessen fire danger. While thorough attention was given to provid-
ing modern facilities within the yard, the attractiveness of the ex-
terior and the entrance was by no means overlooked. The parking
on the front and east side has been sown to Bermuda grass. The
driveways are built of concrete. The west alley is entirely covered
over, while the east alley is open. The building itself is a substan-
tial, imposing structure ranking with the best business buildings in
Independence.

It contains a light, spacious general office, with the manager’s
private office adjoining. A hall leads from the general office to the
display room, which is very home-like in appearance, with cur-
tained windows, a large centre table and comfortable chairs. On
the walls are photographs of homes built in Independence with ma-
terial purchased from the Long-Bell Lumber Company, and also
homes taken from different plan books. During the opening fifteen
or twenty of the photographs of local homes attracted a great deal
of attention. This room is used to show plans and talk over details
of building with customers. It will also afford a place of meeting for
contractors with prospective buyers.

The cement room is ideally located, so that cement may be load-
ed under the roof area in the west alley or in the public alley. The
- sand, chat, gravel, shingles and posts are in an open space at the
back of the yard. The yard is lighted throughout with high power
electric lights.

The formal opening was from 2 to 6 p. m., and in order to pro-
perly advertise it, picture slides were run in all moving picture
shows in Independence for a week in advance. Advertisements were
inserted in all the newspapers, and several reading notices were used.

The crowd began coming promptly at 2 o’clock. The north
end of the west alley had been closed and the door served to hold
the screen for the moving pictures. The picture shown was “The
Story of a Stick,” the Long-Bell film produced by the Rothacker
Film Manufacturing Company showing the process of manufacture
from the woods to the finished product. This picture was shown to
nearly 1000 of those who attended the opening and was very popu-
lar. .

Perhaps the one thing that attracted the most attention was
the display room. Everyone was very much interested in this fea-
ture, and especially in the homes of people shown on the walls. Sev-
eral beautiful boquets in the main office, private office and display
room added to the attractiveness of the interior.

Souvenirs in the form of balloons, wooden whistles, rulers and
fly swatters were given to the children, the last three souvenirs con-
taining Long-Bell advertisements.

As the visitors entered the main office they were shown into the
private office, where. those who desired registered. During the after-
noon a large number registered. Those who registered were entitled
to a chance in drawing for prizes. Five prizes were offered, and it is
interesting to note that four of these prizes were won by women. In
fact, a large number of the visitors were women and this was grati-
fying to the company as they wish to make the yard as attractive to
women as is any other store. The prizes were: A nice bungalow
type door; a medicine cabinet with bevel plate mirror; 1000 shingles;
oe screen door (galvanized wire); one gallon of paint. An orchestra
played throughout the afternoon. The C. R. Cook Paint Company,
the Johns-Manville Roofing Company and the Beaver Board Com-
pany had representatives who explained the use and value of their
products to the guests.

New Electric Chain Saw

There have come to light, particularly within the last few years,
a number of tree felling and bucking devices. With the exception of
the well known drag saw application, all of these have extinguished
themselves in the natural course of events.

The device pictured here is new, and unquestionably merits con-
sideration if for no other reason than that it has been developed by
Charles Wolf, an engineer, now of the Peninsula Iron Works, Port-
land, Oregon, who has already acquired success in “chain saw” ap-
plications. Those who are familiar with the chain deck saw “rig”
introduced some years ago, and now to be found replacing the more

cumbrous circular swing deck saws in a number of mills, particularly
in the Northwest, will recognize the same genius there as appears in
this new portable machine, says F. F. M. Engineering Department
in “Lumber.”

Embodying all of the elements of the man powered crossIcut
saw, the wear resisting and rapid repair features of the roller chain,
as well as being oil lubricated from a large oil space formed by the
sheet sides of the saw blade, the machine represents very careful de-
sign and a thorough consideration of the inherent difficulties and dis-
advantages of chain saw applications,

The particular points of the saw assembly are best illustrated and
described by the accompanying outline sketch. The driving motor
pictured is a one and one-half horse-power at 3,600 r.p.m., A-C, 3
phase, ball bearing motor, gear connected through grease lubricated

dustproof enclosed gears so as to travel the cutting teeth at a rate

of 1,050 lineal feet per minute. The saw teeth may be run in either
direction by means of a simple motor reversing switch. The whole

Illustrating application of chain saw with travelling teeth

“rig” weighs 84 pounds and, therefore, comes properly within the
meaning of the term “portable.”

For Service in the woods several of these machines might be
wired into a skid-mounted movable generator station—presumably
a gasoline or kerosene engine driven generator, although possibly a
small steam turbine set might be used at one of the log yarding or
loading donkey boilers.

It is interesting to note, in this connection, that the electrical
machine would decrease the usable power from a gasoline or kero-
sene movable station by two efficiency figures; (1) the efficiency of
the generator which the engine drives, and (2) the efficiency of the
motor receiving its power from the generator. Assuming the gener-
ator, which might be driven by the gas engine in the woods, to be
capable of generating at 85 per cent. efficiency and the motor to run
at the saw to operate at 80 per cent. efficiency, it would mean that
of the 100 per cent. available at the engine but 68 per cent. would
reach the saw, neglecting any transmission losses between the en-
gine and generator and between the generator and the motor. The
direct connected gas engine “rig,” on the other hand, carries to the
saw the full output of the engine. To offset this fuel consumption,
where gasoline is used, are points of continuous cutting (eliminating
the idle return stroke which practically all drag saws have) and speed
and facility in handling. These qualities, if found to appeal in the
woods, camp and mill as they unquestionably do to him who may
see it and not have to use it, will create for this machine a very envi-
able place among actual users. There are naturally a number of ob-
stacles in the field of practice which the device must surmount on
its own merits before success will be assured.

Within the limited confines of our own mind we do not see this
machine eliminating the muscle and brawn-driven cross-cut saw.The
device, however, most certainly represents a step forward and if us-
able as a one-man rig gives promise of being a “stem winder.” Its
performance in the presence of the writer (who is “from Missouri”)
demonstrated a remarkable capacity in going through the 27-inch fir
log pictured. The time fifty seconds.—F. F. M. Engineering Dept.

ss The Passing of Matthew Deans
Matthew Deans, president of M. & M. A. Deans, Limited, manu-
_facturers of waggon hubs and lumber, Sprucedale, Ont., passed away
‘on June 4th in his 85th year. The late Mr. Deans was one of On-
tario’s pioneer lumbermen, having started his first mill sixty-three
years ago at Dublin, Ont. After operating for a number of years at
Norwich and also at Waverley, he removed to Sprucedale some thirty-
five years ago. Mr. Deans was of Scotch descent being born near
_ Glasgow, and, coming to Canada at an early age, was reared on a
- farm near Paris. He was predeceased by his first wife in 1914, and,
having married again; is survived by his widow, two daughters and
two sons, the latter being M. A. Deans of Orillia and James D. Deans
of Sprucedale. The remains of Mr. Deans, who was a member of the
Masonic Order, a Liberal in politics and a staunch Presbyterian in
religion, were taken to the family plot in Paris cemetery for inter-
ment.

One and Two-Storey Sawmills

+ Referring to the question as to the respective merits of a one-
storey building, or two storeys or more, for a general sawmill busi-
‘ness, the usual plan is to have two-storey buildings for this purpose,
__-yet some splendid planing mills have been equipped all on the ground
. floor says an exchange. It is largely a matter of personal preference
and of ground cost and available room. Someone reduced the mat-
ter to figures a few yéars ago, and these figures show that stock can
be moved 50 ft. along the ground as readily as 1 ft. upward. This
gives a very good working basis for figuring out the relation of the
work involved in moving stock from place to place during the pro-
‘cess of manufacture. The governing factor, however, will probably
‘pe the magnitude of the business. If the volume is comparatively
small, the one-storey plant will be found better, provided, of course,
there is plenty of room to spread out. If the business is to be of con-
___ siderable magnitude, a two-storey plant will prove more satisfactory.

t No Reason to Cut Lumber Prices

‘There is no justification at the present time to warrant any de-
cided reduction in the price of lumber, according to Sir Douglas Cam-
we _eron, former lieut.-governor of Manitoba, and president of the Rat
Portage Lumber Co., Ltd. who arrived in Vancouver following
a month’s visit to New York.

“There is absolutely no reason for cutting prices,” stated Sir
Douglas. “The demand is there but the lumbermen here are cutting
off the demand by reducing prices. Once you cut prices you begin
to scare people. The market in the east for eastern lumber is firm,
and I can’t account for the attitude of the Jumbermen here. There
is absolutely no reason for them to get panicky.”

Admitting that the prices demanded by the loggers were out of
proportion, Sir Douglas stated that his company was getting around
the difficulty by putting in their own logging plants. The Rat Port-
age company, he said, was planning an active season’s work, and

did not anticipate a slump in the market.

with the ideas and experiences of a practical business character, of
other men.

The good that a lumberman gets from a lumber convention, is
the opportunity of absorbing the ideas, thoughts, and experiences of
other men in the same line of business, in order that he may apply
them to his business. The lumber salesman who knows the lumber
game, and has a practical “nose for news,” can make himself a travel-
ing convention for the benefit of his trade, the year, round.

Get the thought, Mr. Salesman, that even the slowest and most —
reactionary lumber dealer, has something in his business affairs that ~
could be used by the trade generally. Every man knows something |
that his fellows could profit by knowing. Catch those thoughts. _
Note those experiences. And pass the word along to Smith, and
Jones, and Brown, that Black grabbed a bundle of good business in-
his town, thus and so. 8

And if the retailer gets in the habit of looking for you, Mr.
Salesman, on account of the good business thoughts that you bring —

with you, you will be helping yourself indeed.

Mr. Playfair Heads New Company

James Playfair, the well-known lumberman and shipbuilder of —
Midland, has been elected president of the St. John Dry Dock & Ship- .
building Co., St. John, N. B. D. S. Pratt, of Midland, has been ap-
pointed vice-president and managing director, and on the Board of
Directors is D. L. White, Jr., Midland; W. J. Sheppard, of the Georg-
ian Bay Lumber Co., Waubaushene, and others. It is announced that
the company has purchased a hydraulic dredge of Canadian register to _
work at St. John.

And Now There is Luxury Building

“Luxury building” in London, Eng., has new been extended to
“any building contemplated or in the course of construction which —
may cause a shortage of labor or material for the provision of dwel- |
ling accommodation.” The London City Council has served no- ~
tices on a number of firms ordering work to cease on their premises —
in respect to rebuilding or alterations. Among the firms receiving ©

The Chairman of the Building Control Committee of the Lon- —
don County Council is quoted in Daily Commerce Reports of the —
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce as saying that serious —
thought will be given before a ban is placed on the continuation of —
work, in which highly skilled labor that would be of little use in ©

would be a source of enormous local revenue or result in increased —
employment or would help increase export trade, its construction
would doubtless be permitted. %

And Again Please, Mr. Dealer

We reminded’ you in this same space last issue, not to
let your trade get the erroneous and unfair impression that
building costs were extravagant simply because “lumber”
was so high, which impression easily gains ground, but to
see that lumber got a square deal. The lumber and millwork
in a frame house only costs about one-third of the entire cost
of the house, says the “Gulf Coast Lumberman.”

And here is another timely thought that every lumber
merchant worthy of the name should keep before the minds
of his trade in times like these, when everyone knows that
the lumber market has broken. It isn’t going to do the pub-
tic any world of good in their building operations for lumber
to come down, if labor keeps going up, and if fixtures for
lighting, plumbing, etc., do not lose some of their altitude.
Knowing that the lumber market has broken, many of your
townspeople are going to jump at the thought that construc-
tion costs should break sadly. The public should get the bene-
fit of the lumber price reduction, and is absolutely entitled to
it. Any dealer who does not grant it ought to be hung up by
the thumbs, because in that case he will be playing the part
that he has been accusing the mill man of for the past year.

But he must educate his trade to understand that it
takes more than a dip in lumber prices to bring building
down, and the best the dealer can do is make him a reduction
in that portion of his building costs which amounts, at the
most, to one-third of the cost of the building. So long as it
continues to cost what it now does for labor and fixtures, there
can be no decided break in building costs.

Tell your trade so.

Would Develop Canada’s Pulpwood Field

G. R. Hall Caine, former British Deputy Paper Controller, who
has just returned to London, Eng., from a tour of investigation of
Canada and America in the interests of British newspapers, is of the
opinion that there is a fruitful field for British capital in the develop-
ment of Canadian pulpwood resources to meet the world’s shortage
of newsprint. Hall Caine deprecates attempts, which he found on
his return were being made to find a substitute for wood pulp. He
points out that there is no shortage of timber for paper making, since
Quebec alone has 500,000,000 cords of pulp wood despite the rav-
ages of fire. He refers to the increasing consumption of newsprint
by the United States, which he thinks will make the European situ-
ation increasingly difficult for six years, since not only will the Unit-
ed States absorb all the newsprint Canada can produce but will force
herself into the European markets both for newsprint and wood pulp
and become a stern competitor of British mills. :

“Canada offers a splendid opportunity,” says Hall Caine. “She
has not only timber but the huge waterpower necessary for cheap
production. I am convinced there is a fruitful field for British capi-
tal in this direction and I am assured any such enterprise will have
the whole-hearted support of the Dominion Government authorities.
British newspaper owners must realize, as the Americans have, that
it is essential they control their raw material supplies.”

Pulpwood is Difficult to Get Out

The pulpwood peeling season has started in Northern Ontario.
Little active peeling has been done up to the middle of June as the
settlers, who do most of the work, had not then finished the spring
operations on their farms. Labor is scarce and men would not face
the heat and flies. The latter are the worst at the peeling season.

Mr. E. Newton White, of Charlton, Temiskaming district, re-
ports that there is very little poplar wood taken out in and around
Charlton, and the price quoted for the peeled variety is $10.50, sum-
mer delivery. Rough spruce and balsam, mixed, are bringing from
$8.00 to $10.00, and peeled from $16.00 to $18.00. Spruce and balsam,
which have been fire-killed, are commanding $11.50 for summer de-
livery. The price paid for pulpwood in the long (12 ft. to 16 ft.) on
the creek and river banks this spring was from $6 to $7, according to
driving distance. By reason of the early thaw, considerable quan-
tities of wood were left in the bush, although quite a lot was taken
out in the bare ground by slooping, skidding, etc., which is a rather
expensive method. Owing to the sudden spring breaking-up, most
of the flood water got away before the ice went out or rose in the
creeks, and there had been little rain since up to two weeks ago. Driv-
ing has, therefore, proved unsatisfactory and costly and much of the
timber is stranded for the season unless more moisture falls in the
near future.

Favor Witholding Pulpwood Grants

At a meeting of the Canadian Daily Newspaper Association held
recently in Ottawa with respect to the reported application of the
interests headed by E. W. Backus of the Fort Frances Pulp and Paper
Co., Fort Frances, for further pulpwood and water power conces-
sions from the Ontario government the following resolution was
carried—That in view of the attitude of the Backus interests towards
domestic newsprint requirements the public interest demands that
the recent application of those interests to the Ontario government
for additional pulpwood and waterpower concessions should not be
granted, and that all pulpwood concessions previously granted to
those interests in respect of which they may be in default, should be
cancelled forthwith.

The publishers claim that the Backus interests through the Kee-
watin Lumber Company, Limited, secured the Lake of the Woods
pulp mill, consisting of 1,860 square miles, on condition that they
would erect a pulp mill within three years, spending $100,000 in the
first year, $200,000 the second year, and $200,000 in the third year.
Although this agreement was dated August 19, 1914, and the pulp
mill should therefore, have been completed by August 19, 1917, the
publishers claim the erection of the mill have not yet been com-
menced.

The Backus interests now claim that they have been held up by
delays of the international waterways commission in reaching a de-
cision, following certain investigations. The publishers state that
decision was reached over two years ago and that the Ontario goy-

ernment in the fall of 1918 began to press for the fulfillment of the
agreement. That pressure has not yet resulted in the Backus organ-
ization commencing the building operations required by the agree-
ment and the publishers ask that under these circumstances and in

view of the attitude of the Backus interests towards domestic news-
print requirements, the pulpwood concessions covered by the broken
agreement, be cancelled forthwith.

Men Blew the Whistle and Quit

Employees of the Nashwaak Pulp and Paper Company at the
company’s rafting grounds at the mouth of the Nashwaak River,
across the St. John River from Fredericton, blew the whistle at five
o’clock one day recently and quit work. They had completed a nine-
hour day and took this method of serving notice on the management
of their intention to strike to enforce their demands for a nine-hour
day at the same rate of pay that they have been receiving for ten
hours. It was said that between 50 and 60 men who had been em-
ployed in rafting were concerned in the strike. The St. John River
Log Driving Company’s rafting operations are not affected by the
strike. :

Fraser Companies Get Second Pulp Plant

The plant and properties of the Dominion Pulp Co. at Chatham,
N. B., have been taken over by the Fraser Companies, Limited, of
Edmundston. It is understood that the consideration is between $1,-
000,000 and $1,250,000, this sum being handed over by the Frasers
to the British interests who have owned and operated the Dominion
Pulp Company’s business for some years.

The Dominion mill is situated on the Miramichi River opposite
Chatham, and is known as an easy bleaching sulphite mill. It has
a capacity of 50 tons daily and the manager is Walter G. Steevens,
who, it is understood, will continue in that position. It is the in-
tention of the Fraser Companies to increase the output of the mill and
as soon as the necessary additional plant can be arranged it is expect-
ed the capacity will be brought up to not less than 65 tons daily.

The timber limits being transferred are largely areas under lic-

ense from the Department of Lands and Mines, consisting of about -

288 square miles of Crown timber lands, but it is believed the source
of supply for raw material which the Frasers are depending largely
upon for their new plant is the Miramichi portion of the 1,580,000
acres of timber limits they are acquiring from the New Brunswick
Railway Company and upon which the Frasers now hold an option.

The Dominion mill will be the second pulp plant operated by

Nothing Can Really Take the Place of Woo

How Canadian Forests Must be Preserved and Not Plundered—Getting the Maxi-
mum Production and Insuring Industrial Future of Dominion ,

By C. B. Davis, Iroquois Falls, Ont.*

A forest is not a mine to be exploited or cut into until exhausted
and then abandoned, but it is, rather, a growing crop which must be
cut in such a way as to insure sustained and maximum production
per unit of area. The cutting must be so directed as to result in the
removal from time to time of a certain volume of wood per unit of
area without impairing or exhausting the base crop. Looking at
it from a financial viewpoint, a forest is the principal which yields
a certain periodical interest and it is this interest only, in the form
of wood, which must be cut, leaving the principal intact.

Forestry is the application of those principles and methods cal-
culated to bring about sustained yield in the case of a forest. By
“sustained yield” I mean managing the forest in such a way that a
constant supply of wood commensurate with the periodical consump-
tion will be insured. There are a number of causes which have in the
past developed, and still developing, which make the practice of
forestry an absolute necessity. These causes may be enumerated
as follows:

1. The Necessity of Wood.

2. Depletion of Natural Timber Resources.

3. The Accumulation of Waste Areas.

4. Surface Erosion and Run-Off. |

5. The Destruction of Forests By Fire.

The necessity of wood is obvious. There is no other material
which could be satisfactorily substituted in the case of construction

‘jobs; there is nothing that could be so satisfactorily used in the erec-

tion of coffer dams; there is nothing that contains the degree of
elasticity and semi-rigidity which makes wood indispensible for use
It is true that there are substitutes in the case of furni-
ture, but I should think that no great comfort could be derived from
sitting in an iron chair or sleeping in a concrete bed.

The second real cause for the practice of forestry in the depletion
of natural timber resource. The general concensus of opinion on
this continent is that there is an unlimited, inexhaustible timber re-
source. This is a fallacy. The present supply of wood is being cut
into rapidly. Consumption exceeds natural production. In the
United States 85 per cent. more timber is consumed than is produced.
Obviously the end of natural timber resource in the States is im
sight. In this country it is the belief that Ontario contains vast
areas of pulpwood and that there is no end to this supply. This is
not true. Fires, insects, disease, windfall are rampant in those areas
not inhabitated or even partially controlled by man. Statistics from
reports of explorations made in this north country of ours show that
a great portion of the area north of the Transcontinental is swamp
land and non-producing and that, periodically every twenty to forty
years, fires sweep through, destroying huge quantities of timber
and leaving nothing but exposed barren soil.

In the past those areas which have been burned over and those
areas on which the timber has been destroyed by insect and disease
and those areas which have been slashed by the old-time logger
have in many cases been rendered barren. These areas will total
thousands of square miles and the fact that they are barren and non-
producting means that they are a dead loss and a burden to the goy-
ernment. These areas may not be capable of producing farm crops
but they will, in most cases, produce timber. Since there is no tree
growth remaining on these barren areas the only means of reclaim-
ation and regeneration is reforestation by artificial means.

Deforestation Means Eventually Drought

“With reference to the fourth cause, which is surface erosion and
run-off, special attention is given the case of water sheds. Defores-
tation or absolute removal of the forest from a given watershed in-
yariably means sudden floods, followed ultimately by drought. The
presence of a forest on a given water shed tends to retain moisture
by stimulation of ground cover growth which holds the water falling
upon it long enough to permit of the seepage of that water into the
soil. This water, then, which seeps into the soil, is fed gradually
and constantly to the streams draining the area. If the forest is not
there, there is no seepage, comparatively, and the water falling upon
the area, not being held, runs immediately to the stream, causing
variations in water levels which are by no means enduring or con-

the question arises where and how has the application of the prin- oy

stant. The effect of this condition on a specific water power is ap- ~

It is almost impossible to realize the great damage done each |
year by fires running over unprotected timber holdings. Annually, |
millions of acres are burned over transforming lands, which have

possible, “mine-lumbering,” so called, and this may be accomplish-
ed by the installation of certain cutting systems best suited to local
conditions; by the practical supervision of logging operations with a
view to obtaining closer or more complete utilization and protection
of young growth, and by confining definitely the logging operations «
to a given area which contains a known volume of wood.

=

Regulation and Direction of Cutting ‘

What can forestry do to protect stream flow? Regulation and
direction of cuttings to be made on watersheds with a view to re-
taining at least a part of the forest will prevent, to a certain extent,
that condition of flood age and acute variation in water levels which ~
invariably results when all growth is removed. In the event that the
watershed is already barren of tree growth, there is only one re-
course, and that is, artificial planting. Subsequent care and man-— is
agement of the regenerated watershed will, in time, have its direct —
effect on regulating stream flow and insuring constant water levels.

With respect to the fourth point, which is the accumulation of
waste areas, there is, of course, only one course possible and that is *
reforestation, using that species of tree which will grow most rapid- =
ly under specific conditions and insure a beneficial and lasting result.

I have given what might be considered major causes which make
the practice of forestry necessary and have endeavored to point out ee
just how forestry can limit these causes to a certain degree. Now

ciples of forestry been proved “good business?” Has forestry oper-
ated economically and have results secured been commensurate with
money and labor expended? These questions are easily answered. =
Two hundred years ago Germany and France were

veritable wood famine. Their forests wrere practically on the verge
of exhaustion; their consumption was at least 50 per cent. greater Th
than production and wood was the main source of fuel. It became
very apparent that, unless something was done to conserve and
build up these exhausted forests, Europe would lose one of its most
valuable natural resources and would become directly dependant
upon importation to meet the demand. The necessity of doing some- —
thing to remedy the situation became manifest. The practice of
forestry was taken up and applied on an intensive scale. Today their
forests are managed scientifically and are producing the major part
of the wood needed. At certain periodic intervals the forests are cut
over and this cutting is so regulated that the material cut from the —
forest is only that portion produced by the forest during the period =
between cuts. In other words; the two countries are reaping a harvest
annually or periodically from their forests without reducing or im-
pairing the “principal” or base crop and thus a sustained yield is in

; What High Costs of Eienaction Do

Ls should like to read to you some extracts from the April issue
the Canada Lumberman and Woodworker. The article appeared
der the title: “How Long Will Pulp Supply Hang Out.”

A cord of pulpwood sold at the mill at $2 and newsprint paper
plentiful. and cheap some - fifteen years ago. But that was when
could be hired to work in the woods: at $30 a month, and glad
hance, while pork was $15 a barrel and beans $2 a bushel,
-verything else in proportion. Also, there were more trees

‘documents to be printed.

increasing demand, explains why newsprint costs four or

mes as much today as it did in the dawn of the century.

oF ADA LUMBERMAN AND ‘WOODWORKER

confine myself, insofar as it is poossible, to a discussion of forest in
its direct application to the paper and pulp industries. In the first

place, I should like to point out just what the organization and in-—

stallation of a paper and pulp mill means in dollars and cents. To
build a mill capable of producing, say 220 tons of paper a day, re-
quires an approximate available capital of $15,000,000. In addition
to this outlay of capital; there is a certain amount necessary to the
construction and maintenance of the town. And a town is almost
invariably necessary Where paper mills are built in remote regions.

The mill which represents this huge outlay of capital must be con-

sidered a permanent, more or less non-versatile, investment. Its in-
itial location is final.
machinery and general equipment that it is not possible without

great expense to manufacture anything but paper. The mill and the

town and all the accessories thereto are solely dependant upon the

timber limit which furnishes the mill with raw material.

An Efficient System of Fire Control

Obviously, it behooves the paper and pulp industries to protect ——

their limits from fire. There is so much at stake that these protective ©
measures must be complete and unfailing. This is one of the first
jobs of the forester of any specific paper and pulp company. He must
organize a fire control system adequate enough to cope with the
conditions found in his limit. He must make sure in his organiza-
tion that the personnel involved is of a dependable character. He
must make sure that every portion of the forest on the limit is cov-
ered by an efficient system of control in the form of observation
stations and patrol routes. He must make sure. that at all times

transportation facilities are available in order that in case of firemen —

may be gotten through to the fire with the least possible delay.

To accomplish this and to accomplish the many other things
necessary to the successful management of a timber limit the forester
must first gather the following information :—

r
respect to drainage and topography?

2.. How much timber and kind of timber exists on the limit?

3. Where is this timber and how much of any given species is
located on a definite area?

4. What is the character of the soil and the growing conditions
of the timber?

5. What per cent. of the total area comprising the limit is non- —

producing?

6. What are the methods of cutting or logging practiced on
the limit?

7. What are the possibilities of adding to the present limits?

All of this information
which cover the limit by a system of strips run at certain intervals

apart in that direction calculated to give the most average result.

Also through exploration in virgin territories.

Having secured this information it is possible to arrive at cer-
tain definite figures and conclusions, namely :—

1. Just how long the existing wood supply will last, in other
words, how many years the mill can operate on the basis of present
and possible future annual consumption.

complete utilization.

3. The gross area to be reforested or planted in order that enough
wood will be available to enable the mill to continue operations after
the present virgin supply is exhausted.

4. If it is impossible to grow trees large enough for pulpwood
by the time the present supply is exhausted, how much the limit
must be added to in order to insure a supply of timber during that
interval before the planted forest becomes merchantable.

5

be made to the best advantage.

It is so built and contains such specialized

How big is the limit and what is its general character with

2. To what extent it is possible to bring about closer or even

The species of trees to plant and just w here the planting can.

6. The exact number and the kind of trees to grow in the nurse-

ry, which must necessarily be built in order to permit of economic
planting.

7. The number of years ie mae for planted forest crop to
mature.

8. The designation of the exact area upon which a logging |

operation will locate and the exact number of cords to be taken from
the area.

9. The extent to which supervision is necessary to insure eco-
nomic cutting, complete utilization, and the leaving of the forest in
the best producing condition.

10, That system of cutting which will facilitate natural repro-
duction, eliminate windfall to a material extent, and make possible
the production of the greatest quantity of wood.

11. A feasible and economic method of slash, which is com=
posed of tops, branches, and other waste material, constitute a real

fire hazard on a forest under exploitation and its. removal ‘means much _

: Ontario and the East

Market conditions on the whole are inclined to be rather quiet,
although a fair amount of stock is moving, especially in white pine.
Hardwoods are in more active requisition than softwoods and prices
are holding firm. The demand for maple has declined somewhat
but buyers have been down the eastern provinces and through var-
ious parts of Ontario picking up a number of stocks that are now
being sawn. The chief topic of conversation is the slump in western
prices, especially on common boards, shiplap and dimensions in
cedar, hemlock and fir. V joint, rough clears, flooring, ceiling, base,
etc., are holding better than the cheaper lines. Western fir is now
able to compete successfully with eastern hemlock but a new danger
seems to have cropped up in the competition from southers pine
on which there is practically no quotation. If the importers of
southern pine were able to secure Cars with which to bring in the
product, the state of affairs might prove serious, but the car situ-
ation across the border appears to be getting worse rather than
better. Lath have dropped slightly in price but are holding their
own fairly well and as each week passes, there is disclosed the fact
that not as great a production as was expected is being offered.

Eastern values are holding firm and while there is a general
discussion regarding’ the price reduction in other commodities, some
talk is heard of a rise in prices in the lumber line a little later on,
and even the Board of Commerce, which is now practically defunct,
gave a sort of expiring gasp the other day by remarking that a
marked general reduction in lumber appeared to be warranted. It
is one thing to draw conclusions and another thing to understand and
Costs
of production are climbing all the time and it was not until recently,
in Ontario mills at least, that help has been available in any de-
sired quantities.

The labor situation is much improved but, owing to lack of
rain this spring, driving costs up north were very high and a few
mills have only started up recently owing to inability to get logs.
Labor, however, is still very independent and the wage tendency
is upward rather than downward, The cost of sugar, potatoes and
other supplies keeps climbing.

In regard to values, a leading wholesaler asserted this week
that prices may be marking time just at present owing to the falling
off in demand from the United States occasioned by the Presidential
election excitement and the car situation, but he believed when this
flutter was over, values would re-assert themselves and he would
not be surprised to see lumber going still higher. There was not

nearly enough stock in the country to supply the normal and foreign

demand, and building on the whole was proceeding on a very satis-
factory scale.

Shingles continue to be disposed of at any old price and buyers
are very cautious. A large number of plants in the west have closed
down as they cannot afford to pay the prices asked for cedar logs,
the high cost of labor and sell the product at the low rate which has
been prevailing of late. ;

There is no denyirig the fact that the dropping of prices on
western stuff has had a somewhat disquieting effect on the eastern
situation and has shut off purchasing on the part of several large
retailers. Some customers, who have been in the market almost
continually, are trying to tell travellers that they are going to hold
off for a while yet, believing that they will get the benefit of still
lower prices.

One satisfactory feature of the whole trend of trade is the prom-
ising crop prospects in the West and the encouraging outlook in On-
tario. Recent rains have put the farmers in a good mood, and re-
pairs, which have been held back, are now being proceeded with.
‘White pine, spruce and hemlock so far are holding firm particularly
the former, and retail yards report a good steady trade. Crating,
box and culls are in active requisition.

A leading firm, who specialize in hardwoods, report that stocks
are now mttch more representative and complete than a few months
ago, and are being offered in larger quantities than they were last
spring. Whereas the wholesalers were going out after the millmen
some time ago, the millmen are now coming to the wholesalers, invit-
ing offers for their cuts for the past season and also asking what they
are prepared to pay for birch, maple, elm and basswood for next fall

and winter delivery.

United States

Owing to the Presidential election excitement, the tie-up in trans-
portation, labor strikes and other causes, the general tone of the lum-
ber market in most centres is quiet. As one authority has it, the
lumber industry “falters” and this possibly sums up the situation
comprehensively. Southern pine is being sacrificed in price and one
hears of all sorts of offers. A great deal is reported regarding the
car situation and one writer, in referring to this phase of the ques-
tion, says:—In my personal opinion, we have the worst car short-
age to-day that we have ever known since I have been watching the
lumber industry, and on top of the absolute famine of cars—not in
any particular location, but north, east, south and west—we have
a most critical and severe embargo situation that is adding to the
extreme seriousness of lumber transportation. I have never seen
the time before when the car situation was one-half as bad as it is
to-day.

Now, I am not an expert on transportation matters, and I don’t
pretend to be able to diagnose the car situation, so I simply accept
the opinions of men who are in position and who should know, and
they tell me that the car shortage hasn't decently started yet, as
far as lumber is concerned, but that conditions will become more
and more tense as the crops begin to mature and move to market,
because the railroads are going to move the nation’s food, even
though everything else stands still. I asked a wise man to-day, who
is in position to know about the railroad situation“ When will the
mills have more cars?” and he replied,—“There ain’t no such animal ;
they’ve lost the pattern.”

At a number of points lumber prices have been dropping for some
time and even those stocks in the strongest position are commencing
to feel the influence of low levels in other woods. Competition makes
the lumber market, and no kind of lumber can maintain a high posi-

Good Demand at Halifax with Stocks Low

Halifax yards report an exceptionally brisk demand for build-
ing material during the past month. A great deal of house building
is going on in the city, and still the demand for living accommoda-
tions is in excess of supply. The indications are that the present
activity will be maintained up until the end of the season. A great
deal of money is being spent by the city on local improvement, which
is reflected in business in general, and a spirit of optimism
prevails.

Owing to local conditions prices of random lumber are a shade
lower here than in most other Canadian cities, and dealers who are
carrying stocks, purchased at current prices will have no reason to
regret their action. On the whole stocks in Halifax yards are below
the average.

Reports from the American side of the line would seem to indi-
cate that prices there were in process of readjustment. This, how-
ever, is not taken too seriously by shippers here, who are more or
less accustomed to the sharp fluctuations that také place among
our neighbors to the south. No doubt, however, the weakness of
this market is more apparent than real, and is due to the unwilling-
ness of American firms to enter the quiet season during midsummer
with more stocks contracted for than they can conveniently carry,
particularly in view of the rapid changes that may develop: in a
period of two or three months.

A number of schooner cargoes, consisting principally of 2 in.

spruce and spruce boards have gone forward from Halifax and out-

ports to New York and Sound ports during the past few weeks, and
rail shipments are being made as fast as the limited supply of suit-
able cars will permit. Fortunately most of the embargoes have
been raised by the American railroads, but shippers are still badly
handicapped by the shortage of American cars. The situation has
been relieved to a certain extent by a modification of the restric-
tions applying to Canadian cars for use in this capacity.

It may be mentioned here that the Canadian Railway authorit-
ies are reported to have issued a recent order that all empties are to
be sent to Sydney to be used in the coal trade. At the present time
the car shortage is being acutely felt, and if this report is true it will
certainly work a great hardship on lumber shippers. The prosper-

can be used as well. It may be somewhat unsafe to make predic-

by southern and western lumber quotations, can go to a lower level.
An increase in the demand, which, it would seem, cannot be much
longer delayed, would strengthen the market all around, though it
is not probable that it will again go to the heights reached last
winter.

and in view of the enormous revenue the railroads receive from the

During most of the month of May the Halifax waterfront has
been almost bare of shipping. This was in very striking contrast
to conditions for the same period last year, when almost every avail-*
able berth was taken throughout the entire season by sailers loading
deals for the British market. Since the beginning of June, however,
conditions have changed considerably for the better, and by the

middle of the month shipping was well up to normal. It is not ex-

pected that shipments will be maintained at this level for any con- —

siderable period.

The British market is still in an unsettled condition. It is
gratifying to note the remarkable rise in the rate of sterling ex-
change, but with the rise of the rate of exchange, there has been a fall-
ing off in the cif. prices At the present time, consumption of

Board of Commerce going to inquire into the price of lumber, and

finally, about June 22nd, reports from the drive.end of operations

indicated that large drives were stalled on account of low water.

Taken on the whole month, trade generally was slower than in
May, but the end of the third week and the beginning of the fourth,
showed some improvement over the preceding weeks. The principal
demand continued to come from the United States, and was for the
better grades, indicating that, though the prices for these are already
at high levels, buyers do not expect a drop, for the present, at least.
The outlook toward the domestic demand brightened a little and was
almost wholly for culls and the poorer grades.

The greatest firmness to the market was gained from the pine
grades, which were in principal demand. Some reports indicated that
there was a tendency toward a weakening in spruce. However, with
a possible shortage of logs occurring at the sawmills, there did not
appear to be anything that would cause any disturbance with a trend
toward seriously lowering prices.

As was forecasted in the previous report, the strike of the mem-
bers of the Inside Woodworkers and Factory Workers’ Union ma-
terialized. About five hundred union employees walked out on June
12th and up to June 22nd had not returned to work. The heads of
the plants concerned made no overtures to the men after they had
gone out and the. general principle seemed to be, to keep the plants
closed until the men had returned to work under the old conditions
or had modified their demands in regard to increased wages and a
closed shop principle for the mills.

Among the larger plants which closed down were: W. C. Ed-
wards and Co., James Davidson’s Sons, McAuliffe-Davis, Ottawa
Stair Work, George M. Mason and Son, M. C. Neate, part of the
Ottawa Car Works, James E. Wilson and others. In some contract-
ing circles reports indicated that if the strike was prolonged it would
have a considerable detrimental effect on building, as it would stop
door, flooring, and other building ma-
terials. On the-other hand, it was heard that the operators of the
plants had foreseen such a contingency occurring as early as April,

- and kept on building up reserve stocks to meet just such a situation.

In several circles at Ottawa it was believed that the date of the walk-

out of the men was ill timed.

The foreign car situation became a little easier, but even though
more cars became available, there was still a considerable difference
between the number of cars supplied and those required. As a conse-
quence many large shipments on order continued to be held up.

The sawmills outside of a growing scarcity of logs reported a
fairly good season up to the present but last week reports began to
be received iin Ottawa of several large drives being stranded on the
Kipawa, DesMoines and other rivers and streams. Unofficial esti-
mates of the probable number of logs held up varied all the way
from the hundreds of thousands into millions. The situation with
some mills and companies was regarded as being serious.

Jackson Booth, and P. C. Walker, of Shepard and Morse, two

of the companies affected, stated frankly that some of the drives they
had been counting on to have logs in their mill pond for this season’s
sawing were stranded. Mr. Booth thought most of the sawmills were
in the same boat as his own. Sawmill operators pointed out that
with drives stranded, there, would be considerably fewer logs reach-
ing the mill pond, with the likelihood that either one of two things
would have to happen. Either shut down, or reduce the time of the
sawing season. For the next two or three weeks it was expected there
would be enough logs on the way to ensure operations, but beyond
that time they did not care to prophesy.
The lack of rain in the north country during the spring months
was given as the principal contributing factor for the stranding of
the drives. Though not as yet officially stated, it is almost certain
that as a consequence of the hold-up of the drives that the sawmill
production of the Ottawa and Ottawa Valley mills will be decreased
this season.

Stocks of all dry lumber continued to remain scarce, and it was
not expected that this season’s green cut would reach the market un-
til around July 15th. The manufacturers so far have continued to
hold back in making quotations to the wholesalers with the result
that some seemingly good orders have had to go begging, or, in
other words, were not placed because the purchasers were not told
what the price was going to be. The attitude on the part of the manu-
facturers to all appearance was that they intend to keep on with-
holding announcing their price until they have pretty well ascertained

_ what their production costs for this year are going to be.

Sawmill labor, while not exactly scarce, was not as plentiful as
it had been. Lath and shingles remained scarce, and though there
was no change in the market quotations of the latter the trade seemed
to think that it would continue to grow more plentiful.

The situation in regard to European export for some reason or
another did not open up nearly as much as had been expected it
would. There seemed to be an atmosphere of uncertainty as to what

lation and doubt. Certain it appeared that this year’s expo
outside of shipments on government account, is nowhere near

One of the bright features in connection with the market was th 2 i
apparently strong tone of real estate and the outlook toward futu
building in Ottawa. May property transfers involving a considera

Cutting Second Growth Timber

The possibilities of conservation and reforestation are i
by pine timber now being cut in the Ottawa Valley district.
the busiest lumbermen in the Valley states that much of the presen
cut is second growth timber, and some of it is two feet in diameter.
Questioned as to the time elapsed since the first cut, he said it was ©
sixty or seventy years ago. This timber has grown without any as- ¥
sistance or planting and gives an idea what can be expected if orc
reforestation is carried out. Pee ere rn

How b

Tremendous Development of

ig Industry Ha

Canadian Woods Suitable for the

An interesting and edifying address on the “History and Develop-
ment of the Pulp and Paper Industry” was delivered recently before
the Peterborough branch of the Engineering Institute. The remarks

‘of the speaker, Mr. P. Westbye, general manager of the William Ham-

ilton Company, were illustrated by lantern slides and moving pic-
tures. Mr. Westbye holds numerous patents for pulp and paper
mill machinery, being an expert in that line of wood. The pictures of
barking drum machines and centrifugal screened patented by Mr.
Westbye and manufactured by the William Hamilton Company were
displayed.

The history of paper making carries us back about 6,000 years
(3966 B.C.) to the time of the ancient Egyptians, said Mr. Westbye.
The use of a material whith required no special fabrication may help
{o constitute the primitive form of an industry which has now come
to rank among the foremost in the world, and the products of which
not only represent a great diversity of raw material and finished fab-
rics, but also call for great engineering skill, the utilization of large
capital, and the employment of costly and intricate machinery for
their develepment. »

The contrast between the primitive papyrus paper obtained by
the expenditure of comparatively little labor, and the highly finished
product of today has resulted from a series of laborious processes
and probably affords one of the most conspicuous examples of in-
dustrial development which the world can show.

Use Displaced

The papyrus was widely employed between India and Egypt as
a paper until about 190 B.C., when its use was displaced by parch-
ment. Among the Islands of the Pacific interesting forms of primi-
tive paper may also be found, as illustrated in the Tapa Cloth of the
Sandwich Islands, which they use for the manufacture of clothing.
The material employed is a very fibrous bark of the paper mulberry.
The application of the fibres of wood to manufacture paper is com-
monly attributed to Reaumer who in 1719 observed wasps construct-
ing their nests of fibres gathered from wood, which they wove into
paper. The most familiar paper-making wasp is the common black
and white wasp, ordinarily known as the hornet. We find the wasps
nest constructed upon the identical principles which underline our
modern production, but produced by the most primitive of all paper-
makers whose origin antedates that of even ancient Egyptians, and
it thus becomes evident that the use of wood pulp in the manufacture
of paper is a fact of great antiquity, though but recently discovered
and utilized by man.

No reliable record can be established in England as to the first
paper making. “It is stated that in the personal expenses of Henry
VII. of England in 1498 there appears the following entry:

“Ror reward at the Paper Mill, 16 shillings.”

John Tate, it is said, had a paper mill in Hartford, England, in
1498. The beginning of paper making in America dated back to
1690, when a paper mill was erected by Mr. Rittenhouser, in Dela-
ware, Penn.

Continuing, the speaker said: Paper was first made in Canada at
St. Andrew’s, Quebec, in 1803. Canada’s first large paper mill was
built in 1865, and produced 1 tons of paper in 24 hours. Today a-
modern paper mill produces from 250 to 300 tons in 24 hours. Prior
to 1800 all paper was made of rags. Since that time wood pulp has
formed the basis of all the ordinary grades of paper, including that
which is used for printing paper.

Canada is the second largest pulp and paper producing country
in the world, and is rapidly overtaking the United States, which holds
the first place so far. Canada’s pre-eminence as a paper producing
country lies in the possession of hundreds of thousands of acres of
pulp wood forests and conveniently located water powers. Canada
has the largest forest area of any country in the British Empire. It
embraces 350,000 square miles of pulpwood timber estimated to yield
approximately 1,050,000,000 cords of pulp wood. There are about
95. incorporated companies and other concerns engaged in manufac-
turing pulp and paper. The combined capital invested is approxi-
mately $200,000,000. This is a greater amount of capital than is in-
vested in any other industry in the country, with the exception of
Hydro-electric power developments.

The annual output of the Canadian pulp and paper indushtry is

Manufacture of Pulp

about $90,000,000. The industry employs about 26,000 people. Its
annual payroll is about $16,000,000.

In 1890 Canada’s export of pulp and paper products amounted
to about $120,000. In 1910 they were worth $10,000,000. For the fiss
cal year ending with March, 1918, they raised a total of about $72-
000,000. Canada exported paper last year to the value of about $38,2 ae
000,000; about $26,000,000 worth of pulp, and about $8,500,000 un-~ ert
manufactured pulp wood. Canada’s pulp and paper exports lead all
the manufacturing industries, with the exception of explosives, while
the bulk of Canada’s pulp and paper exports go to the Unit Statesg. 9
they also send to Great Britain, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Soutl
Africa, India, Cuba, Mexico and South America. :

Consumes One-Half

Canada produces for sale 2,600 tons of newsprint paper a
2,500 tons of pulps of all kinds every day. The United States hi
about 2,550 daily and Sunday newspapers, and 14,000 weeklies wit!
an approximate total circulation of 72,000,000 copies. With one-
fifth of the world’s population, the United States consumes one-half
of the world’s production of paper. Canada in proportion to th
population is a close rival to the United States as a paper const n-
ing country. The United States newspapers consume 2,000,000 ton
of newsprint every year, of which Canada supplies one-fourth. Sine
1912 all newspapers have been admitted to the United States free a
duty. Canada has 140 daily and 952 weekly newspapers. It take:
the product of 20,000 acres of pulp wood forest every year to supply
Canadian newspapers with white paper. Some of the largest Canad
ian and American newspapers consume from 50 to 100 tons of pape
daily. The daily consumption of newsprint paper in Canada is ap-
proximately 260 tons; in the United States approximately 600
tons. Canada’s daily output of paper made in a continuous strip
feet wide would be long enough to girdle the globe to the equator.

Spruce, balsam, fir, hemlock, jack pine, tamarack, lar, and
basswood as used in the manufacture of pulp. It takes from one
to one and a half cords of wood to make a ton of paper. Spruce trees
best suited to. the production of pulp require from 90 to 140 years
to arrive at maturity. The average labor cost of producing a ton :
of paper has increased about 100 per cent. since 1912. hs

When one looks back at the beginning of this industry and wi

see the tremendous development of the skill and study and har
work that has put the pulp and paper industry where it is today on

whole conception which finds expression in Tennyson’s verse—that
we are heirs of the ages, the inheritors of all that has gone before us; | 7
and it has been truly said that the past has made us, the cehdre ek

the past are ourselves said Mr. Westbye in conclusion. , Bip

During the evening the assembly which was the largest which
has yet attended the Engineering Institute in Peterbo 1, On
enjoyed the slides showing the process of paper- ing, from 0 Soe
time the tree is cut until the finished material is turned out from the
mill. 1 Sho

Some reels of films (kindly loaned by the Government) of th Wer

barking drum machines and centrifugal screens patented by the speak-
er himself and manufactured by the Wm. Hamilton Company, Peter

of employment.
- The Cote sawmill at St. Joachim, in the Quebec City district, was re-
cently destroyed by fire as well as a number of houses. The damage done
was in the vicinity of $200,000 and the flames were only got under control

after assistance had arrived from neighborhood municipalities. The saw-
mill was over a century old. It is understood that considerable lumber
was also burned.

A new mill is being erected by the River Valley Lumber Co. of Oro-

derstood, that the River Valley Lumber Co. will purchase and install’ ma-
_ chinery for making apple barrels.

_ Work at the Proulx nursery of the Laurentide Co. has been completed
‘for the current year, with a record of 800,000 trees planted in the woods,
and about 1,250,000 trees planted in the transplanted beds. The trees placed
in the woods are three and four years, depending upon their size and de-
velopment while in the seed and transplant beds, and if conditions are favor-
able for their growth, they will be ready for pulpwood in about twenty-
SY tame years... .
— A new mill has recently been erected by Chas. Boudreau at Victoria

gets its power from the North Mountains, being driven by a 250 horse power
turbine, A fine dam of concrete and stone, 211 ft. long and 21 ft. high has
_ just been completed, and in case‘of necessity the dam can be raised to
50 ft. The sawmill is 80 ft. long and 30 ft. wide and will turn out, in addi-
tion to the usual lines of lumber, flooring, heading lumber, lath and shingles,
besides hardwood manufactures of various kinds,
‘Tt is understood that Price Bros, have under consideration a plan for

the increase of their capital stock. .Since Laurentide and Abitibi were split
up, Price Bros. enjoy the distinction of being the highest priced stock on
the market to-day. When it touched at $350 a short time ago and since
has been turning around at $3835, it then. reached the highest point of any
stock with the exception of Abitibi. The regular quarterly dividend of 2 per

This is the verdict of users who have tried them out
by years of constant heavy work; and by comparison
with other makes.

The idea behind the build of every Hurlburt Truck is
the best that money and brains can produce regardless,
of cost. That idea has been realized in actual per-
formance.

No lumberman should buy a truck without first
knowing the specifications of the Hurlburt.

Dear Sirs:—

Having had fifteen years’ experience as sawyer and used several
makes of feed works, I' must say the feed purchased from you is the
easiest operated and without any special attention, giving excellent satis-
faction in every way.

I would not use any other, and I recommend your feed works to
any who are desirous of securing a feed that gives satisfaction.

- We are sawing from 18 to 20 thousand feet per day, and are run-
ning 6% inch feed and 15 gig without any trouble whatever.

The Six Horse Power size, as shown, is the size commonly used, but for those who desire a
good reserve of power for emergencies we build the Ten Horse Power size.

These machines are made with either ONE Drum, or TWO Drums, to suit the work; and with
either BELT DRIVE, as shown, or with GEAR DRIVE.

The price is moderate, the weight of the machine is little, but it does big work.

there is a great waste in hand peeling—it has

‘THEY CUT CLEAN

LOXITE Saw Gumming Wheels cut clean. They
cut free.

eae This is true, because every little, hard, sharp, tough
ee Aloxite grain gets a real chance to do its work.

| The skillfully made Aloxite Grinding Wheels are open

be termed a clearance—allowing it a full opportunity
to cut. )

The bond holds the grain just long enough, breaking °
down at just the instant the grain is dulled.

; aS : acer Fresh grain, fresh cutting edges are thus brought into
play and the wheel always cuts clean—cuts free.

Solve your transportation problems with a
Bell, Oil Burning Locomotive

Small wonder that the “Bell” is in such extensive use
when it embodies such wanted qualities.

A locomotive that will provide a speedy and economical
means of lumber haulage, one that will work on inexpensive
fuel, (kerosene, fuel oil, distillate or crude oils), and one that
has a greater tractive power than a direct type locomotive of

equal weight. In sizes 2 to 24 tons.

Perhaps your ha
investigation into the

ulage problems could be solved by an
merits of this greatest of all locomotives.

Y ee Rugged work is characteristic of a saw mill. This holds
Pe 1 pee true generally from the time the logs are towed to the milli
ae are or hauled from the water until the sawn lumber is ready for
q | i sticking in.the yards. There isn’t any of the equipment, from

1g To keep this machinery steadily at its work, turning out lum- c
i ber to the full capacity, the belting must be more than merely 2

something which transmits some power. It must be belting like

G & K which transmits all the power your mill is capable of de-

veloping. G & K belting does this because it is made and put on

the pulleys by a definite standard of engineering which leaves
nothing to chance or guesswork.

‘Tradition ‘was Disregarded
When Goodyear Built Hose

HE beaten path of established
customs has rarely been followed
by Goodyear scientists.

Rapidly -changing industrial con-
ditions demanded new and more
efficient methods.

Breaking away from preconceived
ideas of tire-building created the
Goodyear Cord Tire—the finest tire
in the world.

Applying the same analytical
methods to industry, Goodyear re-

designed Industrial Hose—scienti-

fically developed it to meet the needs
of present-day industry.

Take Goodyear Water Hose as
an example.

Water Hose is rarely destroyed
through high pressure. But every

i g + 6)

INDUSTRIAL HOSE

year thousands of feet 1s premature-
ly worn out because the outside cov-
ering is not sufficient to stand the
constant scuffing and pulling over cinders,
pieces of iron—against the edges of machines
—and so on.

To overcome this, Goodyear Water Hose
is built with an extra thick covering of excep-
tionally tough rubber. A cover which gives
greater protection, /onger wear—lowers costs.

And a good inner tube and strong fabric are

in keeping with its superior covering.

There is a particular Goodyear hose scien-
tifically designed—as in the case of Goodyear
Water Hose—for every Industrial use.

A man trained by Goodyear will be sent to
study your hose problems—without obliga-

tion. Phone, wire, or write the nearest branch. se UD

ills Everywhere in Canada

In Canadian mills where quality and quantity are equally important, Waterous
Sawmill Equipment is used as a matter of*course.

WATEROUS
SAWMILL
MACHINERY

As an example, the Spanish Mills Lumber Co., of Cutler, Ont., are using two
Waterous 8 ft. New Model Bandmills for handling their daily cut of 125,000 feet
in ten hours. More than fifty other large Canadian mills have installed these
machines within the past five years.

One of them writes:

‘‘We have sawed 20,000,000 feet this past season—our logs run
about 40 to the thousand—and have not broken or cracked a saw.’’

‘s

Only good equipment will show a record like this.

Remember, we build everything for the sawmill. Whether you are running
a portable outfit or are cutting 150,000 feet a day, Waterous Equipment is
the best for your work.

It is on the long drives—the
heavy drives—that “Gripoly”
particularly distinguishes it-
self.

There are many such in-
stances in the mill—perhaps
where, due
to unsuitable belting, the
frequent breakdowns and
short life of the belt sends

in your mill

transmission costs soaring.

If this has been your experi-
ence an investigation of the
merits of “Gripoly” will
bring you big returns.

How to Reduce Costs
of Building

Buy our “Utility” grades of Siding (made
in Sitka Pine or Fir), and Flooring (Fir only).
They effect a 20% saving. They satisfy the
contractor because no extra labor cost is
necessary and consumers appreciate the re-
ceipt of maximum value for their dollar. If
you have not used “Utility” grades, write us
—no others produce them.

—the standard on this con-
tinent for economy and satis-
faction in roofing or siding.

which for durability and art-
istic appearance cannot be
equalled by any type of build-

Our shingles are made from se-
lected material—the giant red
cedars of British Columbia—the
finest stand of red cedar in the
world.

Our shingles are made right—
Our grading rules demand “Ver-
tical Grain ”—“ Strictly Clear ”—

“Free from Sap” — regulations
which assure you of a product
that will give the nee satisfac-
tion.

Be tar Fresh Spin to Industrial Wheels

3 _ The question arises on all sides: what about the demand for lum-
ber this fall; what price will it command; will there be a surplus of
7a dry stock and manufacturers left with quantities of unshipped forest
% _ products on their hands owing to inability to secure foreign cars?

-. Numerous and diverse are the opinions expressed with regard to the ©

_ future of the industry and as to the probability of the present values
of eastern woods holding firm. Many believe that each succeeding
‘@ ‘month sees conditions more stabilized, and look for a promising seas-

‘ on in the lumber arena by reason of the fact that men are more plen-
‘a / -tiful than usual and also ‘more efficient, but, on the other hand, they

view with considerable alarm, the increasing costs of logging, and

a mill operations, not only in the matter of higher wages, but also in
Boi camp provisions and other disbursements.

F _ While prices in all lines of lumber ascended considerably, it is
% a doubtful if they have kept pace with increased cost of manufacture.

There have been flurries in the market and a few months ago there

me was a lot of speculative buying and strong competition for season’s

cuts. Now conditions are on a more substantial basis and a saner
state of affairs prevails. Values in nearly every commodity rose

__ sharply and then seemed to have reached the apex. Next they mark-

ed time for a short period and a decline set in. This tendency on

_ the part of things in general naturally had its influence and ertect on

imber, which is not a product of a week or a month’s manufacture

ut of a whole season. A number of structural enterprises were halt-

d, but there are many signs that great undertakings at present in

eyance will be proceeded with early aext year. Sa far as any

p is concerned this is neithér probable nor advisable. The ex-
t crop reports from all parts of Ontario are decidedly encourag-

; in fact, throughout the western provinces the yield promises to

rreatest in years. All this tends to create a feeling of confi-

dence and assurance in the future and naturally will counteract a
great deal of the talk in regard to the collapse of prices.

While the financial and industrial situation is complicated at the
present juncture by many issues, some seen and others unseen—
and it is not possible to gauge accurately the future—there is every
indication that business will be active this fall. A further tendency
is manifested in the rehabilitation and re-establishment of financial
and commercial affairs on a basis that existed prior to the war. Ag
soon as the spectacular and feverish element is eliminated from
world markets and the law of supply and demand again in operation,
with both producer and consumer obtaining a clear conception of each
other’s position the fog, which has obscured the vision, will be rais-
ed and discerning ones will be able to descry the future with more
certainty and assurance than they have for months past.

Summing up the distinct features of the last few months and —

the present trend of affairs, a leading authority, which has given
careful study to the whole situation, remarks. “Tt seems probable
that continued restriction of credit will present a barrier to the wild
upward movements of prices which have characterized the period
since armistice, but belief in a permanently lower price level in the
near future is hard to justify. Declining prices in a world where
almost every important article is in scant supply seem impossible.
How long the shortage will continue is beyond prophesy. Unless
labor conditions become more settled, it will take some time to
remedy. Production has seldom been so slow and expensive as it is
at this moment in marty industries. Strikes and lowered efficiency
of labor, difficulty and delay in obtaining raw materials, all contri-
bute to heavy costs of operation, and at the same time retard produc-
tion. Even were the present effective demand filled, there would still
be in the stricken countries of Europe, an enormous potential de-
mand, which may make itself felt on the market from time to time
during the next few years, and in so doing give a fresh spin to the
wheels of commerce all over the world.”

Vision About to be Realized

It is contended by a certain town that it has too many shade
trees and that some of them must be cut down in order to afford
growth for the remaining ones. This is a most unusual complaint
as most urban and rural communities have not enough possessions
in the way of arboreal adornment.

It requires vision and faith to plant a tree in these days when
most epeople expect their plans to fructify overnight. Herein lies the
reason why forestry in the past has not made greater progress. It
is not in the nature of an annual crop and too few are inclined
to do anything for posterity, believing in the prinicple that “suff-
cient unto the day is the evil thereof.” Men who view things in the
large are the leading spirits spirits of a people and a nation. They

have dreamed a dream which, at last, is being realized in the ex- ~

tensive reforestation plans now being carried out, not only by pro-
vincial governments but by pulp and paper companies, counties,
townships and even private residents. A beginning has been made
in Simcoe and other counties in Ontario, and it is hoped that the
movement, which is encouraged by the provincial governments, will
be warmly supported and that county and provincial officials will

work together in an enterprise of a character which means so much .

to the future stability and industrial development of Canada.

It is only now that lumbermen and others are starting to realize

fully the potentialities of practical, scientific forestry. The campaign

of education and instruction has been long and at times disappoint-
ing but is now bearing fruit. The evidence is seen in the rapid
growth of membership of the Canadian Forestry Association, exten-
sive nurseries, the development of the aerial patrol service, the
increase in the number of look-out towers, wireless telephones, for-
est protective associations to guard the timber wealth of Quebec,
Ontario and New Brunswick in the east and British Columbia in
the west against the fiery foe, which has done more to lay bare the
great stretches of this great country than any other agency,

How We May Learn From Others

‘ae The agitation in the United States to force Canada to open her
supply of pulpwood to the mills across the border, free from all re-

“While we have a good supply, there is evidence that the roseate esti-
mates of certain paper mill owners in the States have no foundation
in fact, and that there is urgent need for Canada conserving her re-
sources.

The example of the United States should have its lesson for

Canada. The ruthless depletion of American pulpwood has resulted
in the agitation which would compel Canada to sell wood from Crown
lands limits, without regard to the needs of our own industry, and
without regard to the investment of Canadian capital in pulp and
paper. ;

For the moment, the agitation has quietened, but it is certain
to be revived under the stimulus of scarcity of wood and the abnor-
mal demand of paper. The answer made by the various provinces
to the Underwood resolution is sufficient to show that a renewal of
the agitation will have no more success than hitherto, but this will
not deter those who are behind the movement to secure our raw ma-
terials in order to convert them into the manufactured article. Can-
ada has not such an aburidance of industries that she can afford to

jeopardize the most promising one of recent years by allowing any

other nation to use her forest wealth without restriction.

The Trade Acceptance As An Asset

Despite an earnest campaign towards inducing all lumber con-
cerns, retail and manufacturing, to adopt the trade acceptance as a
part of their business curriculum, but little success has been achieved.
a A. wonderful assistance would be rendered the government to-day
were all commercial transactions exclusively handled upon the trade
acceptance plan. A general use of the acceptances would unques-
- tionably relieve the present strain upon cash supply of the nation

and make less necessary the action of Federal Reserve banks in re-

stricting commercial loans, says the “Lumber Trade Journal.”

The commercial credit of a country is its most important financial

resource. Its tying up discourages business and paralyzes industry.
Any legitimate means for the conservation of such a vital resource
should be utilized to its fullest extent. Consider the volume of this
country’s annual internal commerce and realize the amount of real
commercial paper that could be based thereon. The conversion into
trade acceptances of the big credits or open book accounts of the
country would unquestionably strengthen and conserve ‘a necessary
national resource.
eae While there is a large amount of the commercial credit business
of the U. S. handled as trade acceptances, its use is confined prin-
cipally to the North. The lumber industry would find the adoption
ci the trade acceptance plan a valuable one other than as a conser-
vation of a great national resource. The manufacturer who would
compel his customer to furnish a trade acceptance would find the
volume of claims largely lessened as the maker would hardly be in
a position to make claims that were not legitimate at least. It would
also do away with those 30 and 60-day discount customers all have
on their books.

The lumber industry is thus vitally ‘interested in trade accept-
ances. Trade acceptances being negotiable, all sales would virtually
“be on a cash basis. The financial gain to the industry would add
materially to its dividends. Best of all the great commercial asset
of America would be strengthened and made safe—its credit
>= resource.

Editorial Short Lengths

The effect of the lumber scarcity, and its antecedent, the deple-
tion of the forest, is being felt by the ambitious householder who
undertakes to make his-own repairs or improvements. Costs of ma-
terial are rapidly mounting, and the expense entailed causes a delay
in making repairs. In many cases, however, the necessity for repairs

Reports received from various parts of the north and east in-

the whole are very satisfactory and matters are running more
smoothly than for several seasons past.

_ The Hocken Lumber Co., whose plant at West River. Ont., re-
began operations, report that labor is more efficient than last
, and, while manufacturing costs are higher, there is a better
tion of men. The mill is cutting about 40,000 ft. per day and the
utput of white and red pine will be, perhaps, a little larger than last
son. The demand for lumber at the present time is good and the
outlook promising.

sd Lumber May Go Still Higher ;

_ The Deyon Lumber Co. of Pine, Ont., write that their drive,
ting to 134,000 jack pine logs, is practically finished, and they
sf to saw about 7,000,000 ft. of lumber this season, as compared
n slightly more than 4,000.000 ft. during 1919. Writing the “Can-

re difficult to keep, and there is a tendency to ask for higher

water shipment and they have had some difficulty in securing cars
when they needed them. All the season’s cut of the firm is sold, but
they have been receiving numerous inquiries. Mr. C. N. Carney,
general manager of the company, remarks: We figure the cost of
logging will be more this year than last, as feed for horses, flour
and some of the staple articles used in camp are higher. There will
be a smaller crop of logs put in the coming season.

The New Ontario Colonization Co., Limited, whose office and
mills are at Jacksonboro, Ont., say that from present indications
they question very much as to whether they will be able to increase
their last year’s cut of lumber, which was not sufficient to supply
the demand. Woodsmen are still very scarce, which makes it un-
certain as to the summer logging operations of the company, who
are planning to work every man they can secure. W. K. Jackson,
Buffalo, president of the company. states that they have shipped
out their entire last year’s cut and are now sending out this year’s
cut. The demand is fair and steadily improving. Our real difficulty
is to secure cars to move out what the company have sold.

The Dennis-Canadian Co., Whitney, Ont., state that lumbering
operations are about normal in their district and the supply of men
sufficient to keep the work going nicely. The wages are the highest
ever known. There is but little shipping being done as the dry stocks
were all sent out early in the spring and the new cut it just now get-
ting ready to be moved. The output of the company will be larger
than for the past few seasons and mostly sold in advance sufficient to
cover additional costs.

Shipping Conditions are Not Good

The Utterson Lumber Co. of Utterson, Ont., report that their
output of lumber this season will be about 1,000,000 ft. Although
prices are about 20 per cent. higher, their cost of labor and supplies
have gone up fully 30 per cent. more than last year. Logs are costing
5 per cent. more per M. and the assessment on the Workmen’s Com-
pensation Act is nearly one-third higher than a year ago. The
company are under the impression that, faced with these conditions,
lumber manufacturers will not tfealize as large a profit for their
trouble and investment this year as they did twelve months ago.
Labor in and around Thessalon is scarce and not at all efficient, while

‘shipping conditions have been very bad and, from present indica-

tions, are likely to continue so.

How Costs are Still Climbing

R. B. Herron & Co. of Tionaga. Ont., report that they have not
experienced any shortage of labor in their operations up to the pre-
sent, but find a rather restless feeling among some men. In some
cases men prefer travelling to working, which, no doubt, is more
expensive and less remunerative. The company say that their ship-
ping facilities have been very satisfactory so far this year and they
have been able to secure sufficient care to take care of their output.

Mr. Herron says: I think that our conditions are about the
average to be found in this vicinity; everybody seems to be getting
along very well with their sawing and shipping. Of course, the ex-
ceptionally high cost of supplies and the high wages being paid for
the amount of work being done in return makes operating ex»ven-
sive; consequently it is very hard to estimate where the cost of log-
ging and manufacturing is going to stop. Even with the present
high prices of lumber, unless supplies and labor take a change the
industry is very uncertain.

Others Report from the North

Conkey & Murphy of Latchford, Ont., are sawing about 25,000
ft. per day and their cut this year will be larger than last. The firm
expect to produce about 2,000,000 ft., while in 1919 the output was
only a little over 1,000,000 ft. They also took out about 6,000 cords
of pulpwood along the Montreal River, which was sold to J. R.
Booth, of Ottawa. Conkey & Murphy report that the demand for
lumber is fairly good. but that it is particularly hard to get cars to
ship across the line. They have orders four and five months old and
cannot secure cars to fill them. In the Latchford district labor has
been scarce all winter and the costs of putting lumber in the pile is
very high. If the present high cost of living and high wages con-
tinue, it is not likely the cut in the north will be increased any during
the coming fall and winter.

The Lake Rosseau Lumber Co., Limited, Boakview, Ont., have
just wound up operations after a busy period of years. They com-

se

pleted the cutting of the timber on their limit in December, 1918, and

finished manufacturing it in June of the following year. Before
March, 1920, the lumber was all sold and shipped out. Since last
winter the company have been disposing of their stock of slabs and
have just got the last of them shipped.

The Lake Rosseau people report that eHlére has. not been quite
so much trouble in getting men as there was last year and the year
before. The car supply has not been bad since the opening of navi-
gation on the big lakes for the grain boats, but during the time the
boats are not running there is generally a shortage of cars owing,
no doubt, to so many of them being sent west to handle the grain
traffic. é

A northwestern Ontario firm sent the following interesting infor-
mation: Manufacturing conditions are fair with us for this season.
Wages are high, but help is reasonably plentiful and fairly efficient.
Our. output of lumber will be smaller than last season on account of
a shortage of logs and the demand for our product is only fair. The
car supply is all right. Our home market is taking very little lum-
ber at the present time and we are exporting considerable to the
United States but there are signs of weakness in this market as well.
We hope that improved crop conditions throughout western Canada
will have a tendency to increase the demand for lumber.

J. H. Reid, of Jarlsberg, Ont., says he will have twice his usual
cut this season and expects to realize prices commensurate with the
advanced cost of production and operation. The supply of men is
plentiful, wages very high, shipping facilities good, but demand at
present is rather quiet.

May Be Steadying Down Of Prices

John P. Newman Sons, of Wiarton, Ont., say they are com-
pletely cleaned out of dry stock and have been unable to supply
orders on hand. This year their stocks are somewhat smaller than
last, and 1919 quantities on hand were below normal. The severe
winter, deep snow and bad roads prevented larger stocks from com-
ing out last winter in the Wiarton district. Continuing, the firm say:
The labor problem has been more satisfactory than one year ago.

Although wages have advanced about 20 per cent. in that time we

have been able to secure a more satisfactory class of help. The prices
of lumber have generally been well maintained since the upward
move in prices stopped, although it is our opinion that there will be
some steadying down of prices when the new stock comes on the
market.

The Pigeon River Lumber Co., of Port Arthur, Ont., remark:
Regarding lumbering and manufacturing conditions in this district,
we “would say that our output will g e-catly depend upon whether we
can get the drive down in time. Men are fairly plentiful but our out-
put of logs was considerably below normal. We had no trouble in
getting cars but the market outlook for this vicinity is not very
promising for immediate benefits just at the present time.

F. C. McInnes, Leeburn, Ont., says he has rented his mill to
Farquhar & Taylor for this season’s cut, which will be about 125,000
ft .of birch and maple and about the same quantity of hemlock and
balsam.

Hayward Lumber Co. is Progressing

The Hayward Lumber Co., Limited, Edmonton, Alta., are con-
structing a new sash and door factory, 66 x 164, two storeys high.
This concern was founded in 1905 by G. E. Hayward, having head-
quarters at Vermillion, Alta. In 1916 they moved to Edmonton and
took over the sash and door factory and lumber yard conducted by
the Northern Lumber Co. The new plant will be equipped with
modern machinery, including machines manufactured by such well-
known firms as P. B. Yates & Co., of Hamilton; American Wood-
working Machinery Co., Rochester, N. Y.; Cowan & Co., and Can-
ada Machinery Corporation, of Galt, Ont. A Grand Rapids vapor
kiln is being constructed. The equipment will be driven by electric
motors and “the power plant used for heating purposes only. About
100 men will be employed and such lines as “windows, doors, interior
finish, store fronts, store fixtures, etc., will be manufactured.

This firm operate about 20 retail yards throughout the West
and a large proportion of the product of the new factory will be dis-
posed of through these yards. The cost of the new buildings, not
including equipment, is anticipated to run in the neighborhood of
$100,000. G. E. Hayward is the president of the company and John
Hening, secretary-treasurer.

They Will Conier on Freight Matters ‘

The Transportation Committee of the Wholesale Lumber Deal-

ers’ Association will hold a conference with the members of the Can-
adian Freight Association at the Union Station, Toronto, at 10
o’clock on the morning of Tuesday, July 20th, when certain items
in reference to the new railway tariff No. 14, will be taken up. These
refer particularly to radical departures in the weighing of cars, elim-—
ination of allowances, alteration of estimated weights, ete. It is
thought that an amicable agreement will be reached in connection
with the matters which have been under discussion and consideration
for some time. : t

Railways Want To Jump Rates ang
The Canadian railways want an increase in rates, claiming tha
the present scales are insufficient to provide a profitable return.
Recently a delegation headed by President Beatty of the ‘Canad-
ian Pacific, Chairman Howard G. Kelly of the Grand Trunk manage-
ment board, and President Hanna of the Canadian National Lines Ss
along with a number of other high officials of the various lines, were e
closeted with the Government at Ottawa.
While no official statement was issued and secrecy was prese "V-
ed, it is understood that the rate question was up, and also the ¢ o—
mands of various railway orders for "Fens wages, demands © whic
are said to threaten trouble. .
Although the question of rates is one for determination by the
Railway Commission, the Government is interested by reason
the extensive state ownership. Any increase would be general,
would apply to all of the lines, whether Government or priva y
owned. =
The question was discussed in the House this session and drew
considerable opposition to the increase proposal, particularly on the
part of western members. The whole matter will receive the

bat Thought in Publicity Should Be an Appeal to the Sentiments Through Beauty,
_ Comfort, Pride, Service or Economy—Securing Results

D WOODWORKER

The picture of a nice, smooth lumber pile, sloping gently down
to the rear, and projecting with a perfect incline to the front, with a
man on top shoving down a board, or a prospective sucker of skep-
tical turn of mind searching for defects through a big magnifying
glass, is good as far as it goes. It makes four bits for the stock cut
manufacturer, and saves the printer some labor on composition, and
there jts usefulness ends. Not that all “canned” advertising should
be condemned, but most of it gets no results for the reason that it
dies not act on the imagination of the reader.

The central thought in advertising any line of building material,
is to appeal to the sentiments through suggestions of beauty, pride,
comfort, service, or economy. And when the population of your ter-
ritory is in a rut, you have this way of reviving them in a profitable
manner, by advertising. It is a fact that a building idea can be
started on its way, and that it may result in a contagious epidemic.

But you can’t start it by advertising: “When you need lumber
come to see us.” Levy’s ad didn’t say: “When you need a hat come
and see mine.” It said that the hat was nobby, stylish and popular,
and the picture showed a man wearing one who wore diamonds and
a walking cane—D. E. Mead in Gulf Coast Lumberman.

Will Inaugurate an Aerial Patrol

Among the firms that have been quick to realize the advantages
likely to result from putting into force an aerial service is that of
Price Brothers’ Limited, of Quebec City, whose limits cover an area
of over 8,000 square miles, scattered throughout the eastern part of
the province of Quebec.

Its operations will consist of photographing with special aerial
cameras a part of the limits of Price Bros. and Company. The photo-

graphs once developed will either be enlarged or reduced to a pre-

determined scale, built into mosaic maps and then re-photographed
into finished aerial maps, ready for comparison with known surveyed
ground. Special photographs of dams, river heads, burnt areas, etc.,
will be made from photographs taken at a height of 1,000 ft.

To facilitate this work the maps of the province of Qebec have
been squared according to the military system used during the war,
and approved by the Forestry Branch of the Provincial Government
of Quebec.

The machines to be employed are two Martinsyde type “A”
Mark 1 seaplanes, convertible into land planes. Their climbing power
with full load of 1,000 pounds is 10,000 feet in 15 minutes. They have
a maximum speed of 127 miles per hour. The pilots employed are
late officers and instructors in the Royal Air Force, who had had
an extensive experience in flying various makes of planes equipped
with different kinds of engines. The mechanics also are late of the
Royal Air Force.

My Creed of the Out-of-Doors

I believe in the wonder of the out-of-doors, in the in-
spiration of the stars, and in the allurements of life in the open -

and

I believe in the strength of the hills, in the silence of the”
night, and in music of the birds and trees. :

“TI believe, also, that my body was made for action, that
my mind was made for thinking, and that my heart was made
for loving in unison with the life in nature,

JT believe that to laugh and sing, to swim and walk, to
study and play, to eat and be happy, to be kind and free, to
zrow strong and good, is my God-given right.

I believe too, that to be happy, I must be good, that to be
worthy I must be kind, that to be loved I must think love.

I believe that God is as near as man, that I can hear Him
in the brooks and pines, and that happiness and lasting peace
are mine, as I live in the atmosphere of kindness so near me
in the life or the open world.

New Lumber Commissioner Here from Coast
Lieut. Loren L. Brown Enters Upon New Duties in Toronto—Attractive Quarters”
Which Display to Advantage the Forest Products of British Columbia |

Lieut. Loren L. Brown, M.
C., of Vancouver, the newly-ap-
pointed British Columbia lumber
commissioner in Ontario and the
east, has arrived in Toronto and
entered upon his new duties at
the attractive offices and display
rooms, 1 Adelaide St. East.

Mr. Brown succeeds Mr. Wm.
Robertson, who has been acting
commissioner for several months
past and is returning to Victoria
where he will resume his former
luties in connection with the
Forests Branch of the Department
of Lands. Mr. Robertson has
won the regard of many during
his stay in Toronto but is natur-
ally anxious to get back to his
* wife and family and his warm
:: friends on the Coast.

Dicek: Waren f. Réawn Mr. Brown is already becom-
Newly aupeinied -&. _ Diestiee Commissioner ing acquainted with the details of
Romer the work and calling upon various
members of the industry as well as getting plans in shape for further
extension of the work. Good results have been achieved by the
B. C. Forest Branch in the lumber trade extension line in Eastern
Canada, with the happy outcome that British Columbia forest pro-
ducts have become popular and more widely known than ever.
Until recently Mr. Brown was superintendent of the Dominion
Forest Products Laboratory attached to the University of B. C. He
has both a practical and technical knowledge of the lumber industry
and building trades, and as stated in a previous issue of the “Canada
Lumberman,” is a graduate civil engineer possessing the degree of
B.Sc. and being an associate member of the Engineering Institute of
Canada. In addition to having made a special study of British Co-

The reception and display room of British Columbia Lumber Commissioner.at
1 Adelaide St. East, Toronto, finished in B. C. Fir

lumbia woods, he has had practical experience in the lumber mills,
and for some time under the former government was superintendent
of important building construction in the province.

Mr. Brown who was attending McGill University, Montreal,
when the war broke out, enlisted as a private at Montreal on May
29th, 1915, and arrived in France in September of that year. There
he transferred to the Canadian Engineers, and for his excellent
achievements was given a commission in May, 1916. In June of

July 15, 192 )

the following year he was awarded the Military Cross for his work
with the First Canadians. Zi

It is understood that the Department of Lands in British Co
lumbia, at the head of which is Hon. T. D. Pattullo, intends prose ut-
ing with greater vigor and system than ever trade extension wol
in the lumber line, and with this in view central and attractive quar=
ters have been opened up in Toronto, where all kinds of western
woods are on display in their natural state. The offices are visite
daily by a large number of Toronto citizens and others from yarious
parts of Ontario and a cordial welcome awaits everyone.

The purpose of the B. C. lumber commissioner’s office is along
the line of propaganda work. No sales are conducted or made but
information of all kinds in regard to the timber resources of British
Columbia, the species of wood grown, its uses, characteristics, adapt-
ability, etc., are fully explained, so that the Eastern manufacturer
and builder, as well as ordinary consumer may become thoroughly —
acquainted with the merits of the forest products of the Pacific Coast
province.

There has recently been received at the office numerous sample ~
pieces of B. C. forest products which are much in demand among
architects, contractors and prospective builders. The interior of the
new office displays to advantage the many beautiful qualities and
splendid finish of Douglas fir and othen Western woods. The whole
of the panelling is finished in natural wood and there are also shown
various samples of western red cedar, western hemlock, Sitka spruce,
and Douglas fir in different finishes. Tables and settees of Douglas
fir form an attractive port of the furnishings of the most inyit-
ing and attractive quarters of the B. C. lumber commisSiener for

the East. -

Wooded Assets of Pacific Coast

An interesting report recently issued by the British Columbia
government contains the following information.

(a) Merchantable:—Export data are not available as to what
area may pe called merchantable and what is not, but 25,000 to 30,
000 square miles may be classed as merchantable and accessible. The
estimate is made as follows: 52,000 square miles or slightly over
one-third of the tota area is estimated to be timber land without ref-
erence to its accessibility. (This includes all land on the Coast
bearing 833 cubic feet or more per acre). About three-fourths of
the total stand of timber is on the various forms of alienations—
chiefly leases and licenses—comprising about 20,000 square miles.
This includes the bulk of the saw-timber now accessible and mer-
chantable. There is an additional area of probably 5,000 to 10,000
square miles of accessible Crown timber, making a total of 25,000 to
30,000 square miles. About 5,000 square miles of the total will be
suitable for agriculture when cleared.

(b) Unprofitable or Inaccessible :—22,000 to 27,000 square miles
of timber land may be classed as inaccessible at present ; 97,000 square
miles is young forest in various stages of restocking and growth.

Other Land (unproductive areas )—148,000 square miles is above
merchantable timber-line, 40,000 square miles is below merchantable
timber-line, and includes lakes, swamps, rivers and areas too dry, too
rocky, or too steep to grow merchantable. timber.

Western Red Cedar (Thuja Plicata), also known as Great Ar-
borvitae and Pacific Red Cedar—Red Cedar is one of the most im-
portant trees of British Columbia, both commercially and in point
of size. The veteran or full-aged trees attain heights of 150 to 200
feet. The diameter (breast high) ranges ordinarily from 3 to 8 feet,
but trees having diameters from 10 to 16 feet have been found. The
total stand is about the same as that of Douglas fir; ie. 22 per
cent. of the saw timber of British Columbia.

Th Ider dealers now can remember seeing cars loaded with

NADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKE a

ill LumberAssociations Brand Their Product
od Goods Should be Advertised on Merit as Building Material and the Various
oe Grades and Sizes Guaranteed, Declares an Old-Timer

This idea of recording one’s self in this manner was once more
common in the building trades than it is now, when the individuality -
of the workman is merged into the union man, and all are supposed
to be alike. When I was serving my apprenticeship, I was taught
that I must put my mark on the face edge of every piece of lumber
that-I-dressed and jointed for use. This mark I chose for myself as
did every other workman. It was done so as to show which was the
face edge, and also when it was put into place, the boss would know
who had slighted his work. The workmen on a job were known by
their particular marks or brands, as you mind to call them.

An army officer who was over in France related to me this
incident in his experience. He was billeted in a town that had
suffered severely from the enemy shelling. In the ruins of one of
the larger buildings he noticed on every one of the stones dislodged
a distinguishing mark chiseled out by the workmen, and no two of
them were alike. Making some inquiries, he found that the building
had been erected some time during the ninth century, and probably
by the guild of operative masons that flourished in those early times.
I know this will interest you who have learned something about
marks in another place. ;

The Trade Mark of To-day

This same idea of marking or branding a product of skill, has
been applied also through centuries of the modern era to the products
of industrial. merchandise, but it is so common we do not realize
the fact and its significance. There are very few articles of manufac-
ture but what have the mark or brand of the manufacturer on it and
for the purpose of distinguishing it from others of the same commo-
dity. As is well known, there is a natural law pertaining to these trade
marks and penalties for their infringement. Consequently they have
a particular value.

The primary idea of this trade marking was to protect the de-
gree of excellence the maker put into the product as being superior
to any other, and the real value in trade of any trade-marked com-
modity consists of its quality being kept up to the assumed stand-
ard of excellence. Otherwise it becomes a symbol of unreliability.
Therefore, the adopting and advertising a trade mark carries with it
an increased degree of responsibility because confidence is something”
that takes a long time to build up but only a little while to destroy.

New in the Lumber Industry

Although trade marks have for centuries been a common feature
in the mercantile world, yet, strange to say, until within the last two
decades, they have been comparatively unknown in the lumber in-
dustry. Manufacturers have had their own particular brands which
they used on their office stationery and in their advertising, but it |
was hardly ever used as a stamp on their product, with the possible
exception of shingles. The branding of shingles has been a practice

‘universally followed by shingle makers, and is more for the retail

buyers and builders than for the consuming public.

Notwithstanding the establishing of standard rules of manufacture,
there has always been more or less difference in the qualities of
shingles under the various brands, and in many cases, the brand. on
the outside of the bunch has meant nothing so far as quality was
concerned.

As far as my knowledge extends on the subject, the association
of cypress manufacturers were the first producers of lumber to put
a trade mark on their product, and for some time they were the
only ones in the trade to follow the practice. It proved to be success-
ful and it was not long before it attracted the notice of other lumber
manufacturers. If I am not in error, I think it was the Long-Bell
Lumber Company of Kansas City that took the initiative of putting
their trade mark on every piece of southern pine lumber coming from
their mills. And now, I understand, there is a prospect of the ex-
ample being followed by other concerns. This is a form oi competi-
tion that was little expected years ago would ever come about in the
lumber industry, but it is one of the logical results of individual lum-
ber manufacturing concerns advertising to the public the merits of
their own particular product. For in doing this the natural desire was
created for the public to use it and having no other way to let the
consumer know he was getting what they advertised. They insured
him this by putting their brand on it after the fashion of manufactur-
ers in other lines, and after once embarking on the project of publicly
advertising the products of their mills, they were justified in doing

ae this, and at the time it seemed to me they were rendering a service
ic alike to both retailers and consumer for it gave them a guarantee
ik a of what they were buying. Back of all this advertising, of course,
is the idea that people will go to the retailer’s yard and want this ad-
__vertised lumber with the brand on it, just as they go to a store and
. inquire for a certain make of safety razor or fountain pen, and don’t

A New Wrinkle in Selling Lumber

This is decidedly a new wrinkle in selling lumber and a shrewd
Sit one, but it’s a part of the emulative feature of the new competition
.4) in merchandising. Like every other change, however, it brings with
it the requisite for adjustment and the retailer is the party who has

to do it. It seems though that it is not meeting with the unqualified
. approval of those dealers who have had the experience of having
customers come and want the branded lumber.
i ay At the meeting in April of the American Lumber Congress,
|
|

some of the members of. the National Retail Lumber Dealers’ As-
sociation held an informal meeting of their own, and expressed their
disapproval of branded lumber in the following language, which I
give here for the information of those who perhaps did not read it
when first published.

“Whereas, some lumber manufacturers brand their lum-

ber with their individual brand, which practice we ‘disap-
<0 Ne prove, because of the fact that consumers are thereby confus-
Shes ed and misled as to grade values.

i. “Therefore, the National Retail Lumber Dealers’ Asso-
Ms ciation suggests and recommends to this Second American

Lumber Congress at Chicago, April 20 to 22, 1920, and this

in the public interest as well as in the interest of more

orderly methods of distribution, that if the branding of lum-

ber is deemed advisable, it be done through the medium of

association branding rather than individual branding.”

So far as I am informed the congress took no formal action in
this matter. Neither do I know that it came up for discussion. I
don’t imagine anything will be done about it unless perhaps it is

brought up again at the next meeting of the congress, and I wouldn't
gamble that it will then, for perhaps by that time other manufactur-
ers will have adopted the practice of branding, and it is not likely,
therefore, that the disapproval of the retailers’ association will be
seriously considered. :
This matter is somewhat similar to the action of the shingle
makers on the coast, in changing their methods of packing. The ma-
jority of them have favored the change and have put it into effect.
It is a question, however, favorable to the change, and also, whether
their disapproval will have any effect to influence a return to the
old system of packing. I am of the opinion that the new system is
with us to stay and it is only a question of time and education when
it will become universal so far as the coast shingles are concerned.
The retailers must recognize the fact that the manufacturers are co-
operating in their organizations as never before, just as the retailers
are in theirs, and so long as they confine themselves to ethical prac-
tices in their relations with the retailers, we cannot reasonably ex-
pect much of anything else. So, in thts matter of branding if it does
not suit a dealer to handle branded lumber, he has the choice of

as recommended by the congress there will be little or no differ-
ence in what is branded and what is not.

Favor Association Branding

If branding is going to be done, I am inclined to favor the brand-
ing of the manufacturer’s association, as in the case of the cypress
association, and I think this eventually will be done, and the con-
sumer will get the same benefit from this method as he will from
‘private branding. I believe that lumber should be advertised on its
merits as a building material and its grades and sizes guaranteed by

single organizations representing the respective kinds of woods. But
as this is not being done, and private brands and guarantees are
taking its place, the retailer has no recourse but to live up in adjust-
ment with what he can’t help.
It is traditionary with lumber yard men to object to any kind
of a mark, stamp, print, stain, whereby the grade of lumber is made
known to the dickering customer, although probably the new gener-
ation is not so particular in this respect. In the “good old “days”
when we considered it legitimate to sort over our stock as we got. it
' in, we didn’t want anything of this kind to let the carpenters know
what we were doing. When picking boards out of a No. 2 grade
to put in the No. 1, we had to be careful that the figure “2” was not
penciled on the piece. Some dealers handled nothing better in boards
than a No. 2 common, and sold it for No. 1, and they had to do
some explaining when a carpenter called their attention to* there
being many boards in it that had the grader’s mark No. 2 on them.
As before said, we didn’t think it particularly wrong to take the
privilege of making our own grades, and it was largely the fault
of the manufacturers, who were careless about making their grades.

handling other stock, for with the standardization of grades and sizes.

3ut those days in the retail business are in the relat of remi
iscence. Present day dealers don’t do this sort of thing; they haven’t
the chance. If they had they probably would do the same thing,
because they have the same human nature which never changes un-
der all conditions. .
I have not had any experience with private manufacturer’
brands, but I doubt if there is any practical difference from the bes'
that is unbranded. The psychology of the thing is what the « dealer
has to contend against. B

Brunette Sawmill Has Changed wicag't Re

The Thurston & Flavelle interests at Port Moody, B. ¢
purchased the Brunette sawmills at Sapperton, B. C., at a co oe
proximating $1,000,000. A new company is being formelliaiat
be known as “Brunette Sawmills, Limited.” Mr. L. A. Le\
has been general manager of the plant for many years, will rein at
interest in the new concern and will, probably, remain as
manager. The deal involves a transfer of some $400,000 in cash.
The Brunette plant is one of the oldest in British Columbia, and in
machinery and equipment, has kept abreast of the times. __ a

The new owners first became active in Coast lumber circ
some six years ago, when they secured control of the J. S. Em
plant at Port Moody. Mr. Thurston and Mr. Flavelle are both

head of the Imperial Munitions Board in Canada. ae Fe

tried price regulation during the war and abandoned

it has come to stay, so we might as well acknowledge the fact, face
the issue and prepare for the future.

Some of the statements made at the recent Underwood hearing at
Washington are so ridiculous that they are hardly worth a passing
notice. If there is a four per cent. growth, as intimated at the hear-
ing, and there is the amount of standing timber claimed, there would
be more standing wood to-day than there was a hundred years ago.
In fact, the trees would be crowding us off the earth. Just think of
an annual growth of 24 million cords in Quebec against a cut of only
3 million cords, or a net gain of 21 million cords per year in one
province. The same would be applicable to the State of Maine, only
in a greater degree, as the growth is much more rapid there than
in Quebec. As a matter of fact, there is no net annual growth in
our forests as they exist to-day. The wastage and destruction by
wind, fire, insects, fungi and waste in logging are so enormous that.
they more than offset the growth. Any man of ordinary intelli-
gence must acknowledge that all of the above causes of destruction
combined must of necessity amount to more than the 20 per cent.”
growth claimed by some.

A paper company must be in desperate straits indeed when it
would permit such ridiculously misleading figures to be presented
to a committee composed of Senators of the United States in the
vain endeavor to obtain an increased wood supply through a release
of Canadian Crown land restrictions. These statements are an in-
sult to the intelligence of the Senators and will no doubt result in~
a well merited rebuke from the committee. :

Reference was made at the above hearing to a single quotation
from a speech delivered at the recent annual meeting of the Cana-
dian Pulp & Paper Association by Sir Lomer Gouin in which the
Prime Minister stated that under proper management four or ‘five
times the present cut might be made. But this remark was appli-
cable to what might happen in the distant future under a well-regu-
lated forest. Every one knows there is no such thing on this con-
tinent to-day, and it will take from 50 to 75 years to produce one.

Any further quotations from the speech of Sir Lomer Gouin were
carefully omitted and I will merely repeat the following:

“Our Province, Mr. President, as you were kind enough

to say a few moments ago, was the first to realize the im-

portance of keeping in our province our raw material for

the use of our own mills. We do not intend to “relax that

policy at all. We may have to go further, and the time

may come when we-will have to limit the cutting of our

Quehec forests for the exclusive use of the Quebec mills,

and if the situation demands it, we shall not hesitate, sir,

to take the necessary measures, because we cannot forget

that “Charity begins at home.”

“But this is not enough. I do not think it is sufficient
for you to reduce the volume of your cutting. The time is .
come, we are told, for you to think that you should restock

your timber lands.”

I would suggest in this connection that there is still probably
rising a million acres of land that this paper company can buy in
the State of Maine at or around $20.00 per acre—land that will aver-,
age 4 cords or more per acre, or $5.00 per cord stumpage, and $5.00
stumpage with ground wood selling at $100.00 per ton is just as
low as $1.00 stumpage was when pulp was only bringing $20.00.
This would make cheaper wood for these American mills than wood

shipped from Canada.

May Adopt New Methed of Scaling

GC. Hindman, ex-M.P.P., Ottawa, and now of the Department
of Lands and Forests, visited Sudbury recently in connection: with
the recently-adopted scheme of the department to have test scales
made of the logs going into the various sawmills throughout the dis-
tricts, as well as measurements of the cut lumber. The plans call for
each mill to be visited for a week two or three times each season.
This move is not in-connection with the timber probe which was
recently held in Ontario. but is simply part of the system adopted
by the Department of Lands and Forests,

ie : Shall I Build This Year?
_ This is a question that almost every farmer is asking himself to-
y. He may substitute the word “remodel” for the word “build” but
ider the question in one way or another he must.
_ A recent issue of the Ottawa Farm Journal summed up the situ-
on very clearly. This paper is known all over Canada and is an
-edited journal with an accurate understanding of the farmers’
problems. The full article is rather long to republish here, but the
pp aad portion of it covers the situation so well that we repeat it.
“But as conditions stand to-day, is the farmer likely to gain
ling by waiting if he has building to do? The Ottawa Farm
al, viewing the matter from every standpoint, firmly believes
to put off doing the work now, simply means heavier expense
on. Here is the reason. The present labor unrest is world-
e and it has not by any means reached its zenith. The sooner
irmer realizes this, the better it will be for himself, and the
ooner he prepares to meet the situation and deal with it, the easier
Il it be handled. Good buildings, modernly equipped with labor-
equipment, is one way to meet labor emergencies. The far-
‘with barns and stables handily arranged, and supplied with those
ings which mechanical invention has provided, can snap his fingers
labor during the greater part of the year. In other words, he
) a very great extent do his own work, except during the rush
ons of spring and summer. _ |
+ “Another reason for going ahead with building now is that lum-
is likely to be dearer for several years to come. Of course, we
= lots of timber in this country yet, but it is costing more than
erly did to get it ready for market, which, coupled up with
foreign demand, has created a situation almost unique. And
emand from abroad for our lumber is bound to continue through-

_ period of reconstruction with prices going up from time to

| another reason for suggesting that the farmer should con-

‘ struct now, if in need of improved buildings, is that the- tendency

of the age is for a higher standard of efficiency in the production of
milk and its products. The consumer to-day is demanding cleaner,
purer milk and the factory the same. The successful farmer must
be prepared to meet this demand or else take less money for his pro-
duct. Better stables will enable him to do it.

Sized up then, the situation would seem to be that the farmer
can build more cheaply in 1920 than for some years to come, and
that to do so now puts him in a position of being more independent
in the matter of labor, and better able to produce what the market
demands.”

Price Bros. Erecting Several Sawmills

-Price Bros. & Co., of Quebec, are extending their operations in
several directions and have built a new mill at Matane, equipped
with Waterous machinery, consisting of one double cut and one
single cut band mill, two horizontal band resaws and two “Champion”
Waterous edgers with trimmers. At Metis the Price Company have
erected a new mill equipped also with Waterous machinery, consist-
ing of one double cut band mill, one band resaw and two “Champion”
edgers, with necessary trimmers, etc.

Extensive improvements have been carried out at Rimouski and
that plant now possesses a double cut band mill and a single: cut
band mill, two horizontal band resaws, two edgers and one double
edger with necessary trimmers, the installations all being supplied
by the Waterous Company.

Price Bros. have just completed their new mill at St. Juste and

although it is not a large plant, it is a very busy one and is fitted .

with one large carriage for circular saw, two circular resaws and
two edgers with trimmers. At Matane, Metis, Rimouski, and St.
Juste lath departments have been put in operation for using up all
slabs.

Dyehouse and Bleachery Ventilation

The Buffalo Forge Co., Buffalo, N. Y., have issued a recent
bulletin No. 721, entitled “Buffalo Dyehouse & Bleachery Ventila-
tion.” The new booklet is dedicted. to all dyehouse and bleachery
owners, and operators of the firm state that their egnineers, after
exhaustive study and experimentation, have solved the problem of
successful dyehouse and bleachery ventilation, and are now making
this information available to all interested. One of the aims of, the
Buffalo Forge Co. is to help operators keep their dyehouses and
bleacheries free from steam and roof condensation. The publica-
tion is splendidly illustrated and describes the dyehouse apparatus,
with pictures of actual installations, which are both interesting
and edifying. ee

The Timber Regulations of Ontario
The timber resources of Ontario seem always to have been in
the hands of politicians and never in those of a statesman, says the

Toronto “Star.”
When a lumberman, at his own expense, sends a timber cruiser

nobody knew anything about, he seems to regard the “find” as one
that really ought to be kis own, for which he ought only to pay
eonugh to make his title good, and should not be embarrassed by
regulations that cost him either money or trouble. The timber is of

no use unless cut; it stands there through the years unseen of man; °

he is willing to employ labor and cut it, extend the range of human
enterprise, meet and surmount the difficulties in the way of getting
the logs out—he is willing to face all the hazards, take all the risks
and make what profits he can. Or, maybe, if he is shrewd about it,
he can sell his rights for a neat sum, but if he does, is it not because
he knows his business and knows where to go in search of a customer?

It is not unnatural, perhaps, that men in the timber trade should
look upon the forests as theirs and feel that rank outsiders should
not spoil their business by making them compete with each other at
auction for every tract of timber that any one among them may de-
side to possess; and it is natural enough, perhaps, that these men
should regard fees, regulations and restrictions as merely being
concessions which politicians feel called upon to make to public opin-
ion—restraints which they resent and are justified in evading if they
can.
All this may be natural enough, but the serious fact of it is
that this attitude of mind appears to have manifested itself itself pretty
much all along among the politicians and officials who have for a
generation or two had charge of the public domain. The regulations
are evidently meant to sound well enough to please the public ear, but
not to be put into effect in such a way as to inconvenience anybody
in particular. The airing which Crown lands affairs are now re-
ceiving, with the new United Farmers of Ontario labor government
looking on, will probably lead to important changes.

Toronto Firm Erect New Planing Mill

The Sheppard & Gill Lumber Company, Toronto, Ont., have just

completed the construction and installation of an up-to- date Bape 3

mill and equipment. This firm, which is composed of L. B. Shep-
pard, H. L. Sheppard and E. I. Gill, purchased the lumber yard for-
merly conducted by O. & W. R. Smith and have added the planing
mill to enable them to handle the large volume of building material
required in their section of the rapidly growing Danforth district.

The mill is a two-storey frame building, 48 x 54. The lower
storey where the heavy machines are located, has a smooth concrete

floor. The upper storey is used chiefly for storing sash and doors,
which are stocked in large quantities. One corner of this floor is
fitted with a couple of work benches and a C. M. C. No. 317 variety
saw, and is used for odd jobs.

The equipment on the mill floor consists of modern production
planing mill machinery, the sash and doors brought in by the
carload, and includes the following items: Yates ra 3 moulder,
Yates A 4 fast feed moulder and matcher, C.M.C. self-feed rip saw,
Yates 4 in. band resaw and a Yates No. 137 emery stand. These ma-
chines are all new and of the latest design.

Electric power is used, with an individual drive for each ma-

the sawdust and the other to carry away the shavings from the
Separate storage vaults are provided for each material.
The layout of the machinery is such that a large volume of work may
be handled. The machines are placed crosswise of the building so
that stock may be fed in one side and. carried away through doors
on the other side. The latest style profile heads with milled cutters
provided for the efficient handling of all
the work that offers.

Timber Limit Brings Quarter Million |

One of the biggest timber deals that has been put broth 9
Algoma in many years has been completed, whereby the timber ar
of the Rankin location, comprising 6,400 acres, has been purchased b yo
Jerry Lynch, of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, the purchase price by
ing in the neighborhood of $250,000.

The Rankin location adjoins the Canadian Soo, and for a great
many years has been held by United States speculators for a profit-
able sale. Last summer the forest fires which swept the north
country levelled a great number of the big trees, and it became ; vb-
solutely necessary for the owners to realize on ‘the timber as soo
as possible. Timber cruisers were sent out over the area last fall
and the timber was placed on the market. 2

It is understood that the purchaser has five years in which
clear the timber off, then the probability is that the land will be opet
ed up for farm purposes,

New Bankruptcy Act is Now Law

The Bankruptcy Act, passed at the first session of parliameni
Ottawa in 1919, came into force on the 1st of July, under the
vision of a proclamation issued in January last. Some amend)
which consideration of the Act during the last year showed
necessary, were made at the session just prorogued. The.
which contain very important provisions respecting the ca
of the Act, have recently been passed by the Governor

lists will be considered by Council and approved at an early date.
Authorized trustees are required to file a bond in $15,000 issued by an
approved surety company. It is intended that the pare a0 48 of
trustees shall not be complete until the bond has been filed.

Creosote Oils in Wood Preservation i

Light creosote oils properly injected into wood apparently will
prevent decay until the wood wears out or until it checks so badly
that the untreated portions are exposed. Such is the indication of
service records collected by the Forest Products Laboratory on rail-
way ties and telegraph poles preserved with low boiling creosotes.
; Creosotes used in ties from 25 to 50 years ago were for the most
part oils having 50 per cent. or more distilling below 235° C., with
a residue not to exceed 25 per cent. at 315° C. The ties so treated last-
ed from 15 to 20 years, and failure was traceable, in most cases, to
mechanical wear, such as rail cutting and spike killing. In no case
was failure found to be the fault of the preservative. >

Of 1558 telegraph poles in the Montgomery-New Orleans line,
which were pressure-treated with a light creosote oil, 1049 poles were
still sound after 16 years. In 91 per cent. of the cases of decay, the
fungi had entered the wood through checks and shakes. Representa-
tive sections in the Norfolk-Washington line showed that after 17
years service, of the 1614 poles inspected, 1469 were sound, 92 de-
cayed at the top, and 105 decayed at the ground line. The decay at.
the top was caused chiefly by cutting off the poles. In those sommes
at the ground line, the causes of failure, as determined in 88 per cent.
of the cases, were checks or shakes. Here again, as in the ae ie cae +
preservative outlasted the mechanical life of the wood. —

Unless some other factor than protection from decay is cone
ered important, therefore, there is apparently no need to specify in
boiling oils. The important point is that any coal tar creosote which
is not extremely low boiling or extremely high boiling, will s -<
factorily prevent decay, and in the selection of an oil, factors su
as price, penetrability, and convenience in handling should receive
greater consideration than moderate differences in volatility’. 2 ee

Faced with a steady shortage in the number of skilled copied
available in the lumber industry, both for mill work and in the woods, J
it is a matter of wonder that the lumbermen have not undertaken the
training under some regular system of additional men for the places —
that are sure to be vacant. Even the farmer. without meaning invidi--

Would Open Up Fine Timber Resources Survey of Sawmiils in Fraser Valley

Evidence of the important part lumbering and its allied activi-
ties pay in the affairs of B. C. is afforded by the many camps and
mills throughout the Fraser Valley. Old timber lands are being
worked over again, and the world-wide demand for lumber and for-
est products which characterized the war period, and which still
pene is reflected in the volume of business being done in these
ines.

A typical mill is that of the Campbell River Lumber Company
near White Rock. The concern operates several camps to secure its
own logs, and has lately increased its capacity fifty per cent. to
150,000 feet daily. The power is electrical with the exception of the |
headsaw equipment. The company is providing cottage homes for its —
married employees.

Another large mill recently remodelled and equipped with the very
latest machinery, electrically driven, is the Hammond Cedar Com-
pany’s big plant at Hammond. This company also is helping to solve
the housing problem for its employees.

The Dominion Shingle and Cedar Company, Ltd., has replaced
the big plant on Lulu Island near Eburne, burned down last Septem-
ber, with a mill equal to the best in the province, and operates 14
machines at Eburne and ten at other centres in the Fraser Valley. —
The Abbotsford Lumber Co. has an output of 90,000 feet daily, and ©
specializes in large timbers for the rail trade. This concern employs
230 men. .

-The Beaver River Lumber Co., with a nominal capacity of 70,-
000 teet per day, tops the 74,000 mark some days at its mill alongside
the B. C. E. Railway some 30 miles northeast of New Westminster,
and with a subsidiary concern at Sullivan employs over 100 men...
Other concerns swelling the output include the Popcum Co., ten miles |
east of Chilliwack; the Vedder Crossing Co., west of Vedder Moun-
tain; the Promontory Sawmills, Sardis; Clayton Co., nine miles east
of New Westminster; McLean and McKay Co., two miles south of
Cloverdale; which is opening up a new stand of 3,000,000 feet near
the mill; Galbraith and Sons’ Lincoln mill, with four miles of log-
ging railway; Wolverine Co., two miles south of Lincoln station;
Craig-Taylor Co., near Otter station, with a capacity of 60,000 feet
daily; Anthony A. Rerrie Co., two miles north of Aldergrove; the
G. B. King Co., operating at King station, which under the new name
of the King-Farris Co., has lately acquired 125,000,000 feet of spruce
and fir, including the magnificent tract known as the Big Green
Timber near Cloverdale; the Lombard Co., at Langford on the B.
C. E. R., and a host of smaller outfits and shingle mills scattered
throughout the Valley.

Paper Company is Reorganizing

The Belgo Paper Co., Limited, is reported to represent the re-
organization of the well-known Belgo-Canadian Pulp & Paper Co.
of Montreal, who were one of the best-known pulp and paper con-
cerns in the province of Quebec. The new company is capitalized
at $20,000,000, with headquarters in Montreal, and is a Canadian in-
corporation. ‘The older company was a Belgian concern with a cap-
italization of $5,600,000, and a bond issue of $2,500,000. It is not
known whether this reorganization means that additional Canadian
capital has been taken in or whether as heretofore the Belgian in- —
terests will:‘be in control. The company holds a number of excellent
timber limits in the St. Maurice district.

How Timber Policy Will Be Improved ae

In connection with the investigation into the timber industry in
Ontario and the conditions surrounding it which has been going on
for some time, some practical suggestions have been made to the
Commission with respect to the plans which may be pursued in the
future. It has been suggested that timber licenses should be for a
substantial period during which the lumberman might reasonably
and profitably take off the estimated amount of pine or other wood,
and that instead of charging “a more or less” nominal sum in the
form of Crown dues, these be increased to perhaps $5 a thousand for
white pine and corresponding rates for red pine and other woods,
also that the limits be sold either by public auction or tender to the
highest bidder as under the former system. ‘

It was the idea of Mr. White that this would be in the best in-
terest of all concerned, would stimulate the interest of the Govern-
ment and lumbermen from a standpoint of fire protection, and would
tend to prevent wastefulness in cutting operations and also prevent the
sacrifice of immature timber on the part of the licensees.

Even the Bolsheviks are using modern efficient mechanical equip-
ment in drying high grade veneers. At least a Proctor Automatic
Veneer Dryer is in the factory of A. M. Luther of Reval, Russia.
This concern, one of the largest European manufacturers of veneers,
writes: “The factory is in the hands of the Bolsheviks.”

48 CANADA LUMBERMAN

~All Aboard for the North Bay Trip

Annual Outing of Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers will be
Held July 30-Aug. 2—Big Attendance Promised

Details are now about complete for the annual trip of the On-
tario Retail Lumber Dealers‘ Association, which will be held to
North Bay and Lake Nipissing, July 30th to August 2nd. The

itinerary of the party was published on page 53 of the July Ist edi-
tion of the “Canada Lumberman” and practically remains unchang-
ed.

From reports received by Secretary Boultbee, Toronto, there
will be an unusually large and representative attendance from all
parts of the province. A number are coming from as far east as
Ottawa, as far west as Windsor and as far north as the Soo and
Fort William. Every arrangement has been effected for the enter-
tainment and instruction of the visitors and the outing may be well
termed an “educational” one. Those from. the central and western
portions of the province will assemble in Toronto on the afternoon
of Thursday, July 29th, and leave by the evening train for North

Bay, where they will arrive on the morning of July 30th. After .

breakfast at the Pacific Hotel, the party will depart by motor for
Callander to visit the mills of J. B. Smith & Sons and A. B, Gordon
-& Co. The members will be provided with a lunch at Callander and
in the afternoon will wend their way back tto North Bay and in-
spect the plant of Wm. Milne & Sons at Trout Mills. This will be
followed by a fishing expedition on Trout Lake.

On Saturday morning, July 31st, the lumber merchants will
leave by train for Cache Bay to make a tour-of the extensive saw-
mills of George Gordon & Co. and afterwards will journey to Stur-
geon Falls to see the splendid pulp and paper mills of the Spanish
River Co. There they will be entertained to a lunch, and at 2 p.m.
in the afternoon will enjoy a sail on the “Northern Belle” across
Lake Nipissing to the French River and Chaudiere Falls, where they
will remain overnight and also on Sunday, August Ist.

On Monday, August 2nd, which is Toronto’s Civic Holiday as
well as the Civic Holiday of a large majority of the towns and cities
in Ontario, the party will return to North Bay where arrangements
have been made for motoring, sightseeing and fishing. It is expect-
ed that some interesting angling competitions will be engaged in
and great success met with by the experts.

John B. Reid, president of the association, states that this will
be the best trip ever and that any retail lumberman, who fails to
attend, “will miss half his life.” All yardmen, whether members of

the association or not, are cordially invited to come along and take

part in the annual outing. A few days’ holiday will benefit any man
in the business, widen his horizon, increase his acquaintanceship,
broaden his ideas and afford a pleasant nd restful change from the
ordinary duties and routine.

Each annual outing has always been better than the preceding
one and the jaunt to North Bay and Lake Nipissing on July 30th to
August 2nd promises to eclipse any previous pilgrimage. Last year
seventy retail lumbermen took in the excursion to Penetang, Mid-
land, Victoria Harbor and up the Georgian Bay, and from present
indications it would appear that over one hundred representative

dealers will make it a point to participate in the proceedings at North
Bay and vicinity. The town promises to extend the visitors a warm —
welcome. %
One of the most enthusiastic boosters of the North Bay trip is
A. J. Young, of the Young Lumber Co., North Bay. and Toronto. —
Mr. Young thoroughly knows the north where he spent many years
in logging operations and has extensive business interests. He de- —
clares that the sawmills in the Lake Nipissing district are well
worth visiting and that the citizens of the progressive town of North —
Bay will see that everything is done to make the stay of the Ontario
retail lumbermen a pleasant and memorable one. - ‘i
Mayor Ferguson, of North Bay, has written Secretary Boult-
bee stating that a committee of the town council has made every”
preparation for the reception of the visitors, and the freedom of the
town will be extended to them Arrangements have been made fa
a shanty lunch in the open air at Sweet Briar, and many other in-
teresting features are on the programme. “hs

Orangeville District Holds Meeting ©
Government Sales Tax Still Needs Many Points FA val 4
Elucidated, Declare the Members > od ol
Branch No. 6 of the O.R.L.D.A., Inc., celebrated July 1: i 2
this year, by holding a meeting at Harriston, Ont., the home town
of one of their most enthusiastic members, Mr. John Howes. In
spite of the fact that the Dominion Day holiday presented strong
local attractions everywhere throughout Canada, there was a good —
attendance at the meeting. Harriston itself was in gala attire for the
day and presented a fine appearance to the visiting dealers, who were _
much impressed by the attractive appearance of the town and the |
exuberant loyalty of its citizens. ey)
J. A. Matthews, of Orangeville, chairman of the Branch, pre-
sided at the meeting and directed the deliberations in his customary
effective manner. As usual,-J. B. MacKenzie, of Georgetown, was on
hand to give the proceedings the benefit of all the energy he could —
put into them. Mr. Howes’ two sons were also present, and Robert _
Dixon of Grand Valley brought along his son, who assists him in —
the business, and promises to become as successful a dealer as his
father. é bees ler
The natural subject for the opening discussion of the meeting —
was the government’s sales tax. Since this tax was announced, on
May 19th the varied assortment of amendments and rulings which
have issued from the Department of Inland Revenue, and from the
Finance Minister, have resulted in making the whole situation be-
wilderingly difficult for the retail lumber trade. A lengthy discussion _
of the subject took place, but at its conclusion the members were —
unable to reach any other conclusion than that it would be necessary
to struggle along in the dark for a further indefinite period, until the
government tells them what they must do, in a manner which can be
understood. They were unanimous in their opinion that there had
never been so confusing a tax imposed in Canada before and that
the government had made a serious mistake in endeavoring to put
it into effect when its details/-and the method of collection had been
only half baked. w "at 3
Following the consideration of the tax, the members devoted
most of the balance of the afternoon to the exchange of opinion
regarding trade conditions. The gist of the discussion was to the
effect that it might be said to be a favorable and advisable time a
present for purchasing shingles, but that dealers should be careful
about purchases of all other stocks. The members were all careful -
to give the others the opinion that they should not abandon purch-
asing altogether, but should buy solely for their known requirements,
or those which they could reasonably foresee. ; a
J. B. MacKenzie told the members about a visit he had recently
paid to St. Marys. Ont., for the purpose of looking over the yard
conducted there by D. C. Baird, one of the progressive members of
Branch No. 7 of the O.R.L.D.A., Inc. Mr. MacKenzie was loud in — ;.
his praises of the splendid shed used by Mr. Baird for storing his —
stock. He explained that the shed was divided into compartments —
in which all the stock was stored on end. This kept the stock in the ~
best possible condition and made handling it a much simpler and
quicker matter than when material is stored flat. oat 9
Motor truck delivery and the question whether a charge should —
be made for delivery came in for discussion also. The truck ques- —
tion seemed to be a doubtful matter to several of the members pre--5
sent on acount of the impassability of the country roads in winter.
Some of the members revorted, however, that they knew of dealers -
‘n Ontario who managed to operate trucks successfully nearly the
whole vear round, and to arrange for the use of horses during the B
period in the winter when the roads made sleighs necessary. _ ——
It was decided that the next meeting should be held at Orange-
ville during the first week in December. a.

_ The Price of Logs Drops Heavily

Phere has at last come a change over the market, so far as logs
s concerned. In plain language the bottom has dropped out of it and
gs are now going begging, says a recent despatch from Vancouver.
ot so many weeks ago, cedar logs were quoted as high as $40 a
yusand feet. To-day the same logs can be obtained at as low as
0, and in one instance it was stated that one of the most prominent
sawmill men in the province made a big sale at $15.

It was inconceivable that the prices of logs could remain in the.
uds, with the country almost ready for big deliveries of lumber
shingles. A few weeks ago, the loggers were asked to reduce.
economic conditions took control, and, to-day, logs are being
red at almost the price they were a year ago. It looks like the
ing of the end of the inflated prices, and it now only remains
‘demand to become more pronounced and more stable to
arket conditions back to what they should be from the point
iew of orders. seus
Not a few of the sawmill operators are marking time to see what
e the outcome of the present condition of affairs. Few, if any
have been talking a close-down for an indefinite ‘period, but
rosy reports from the prairies on the crop conditions, and
t necessity that exists for more houses all over the country.

umber Transit Car Penalty Still Stands

e ten dollars a day penalty on cars of lumber held at recon-
points in the United States after the expiration of free time,
to have been removed June 1, has been continued until
30. The Interstate Commerce Commission gave special
to file on one day’s notice, notwithstanding its prior ac-
suing a reduced rate order, the effect of which would have
ancel the penalty. The reduced rate order was changed so
to allow union depot companies, which had never imposed
or any other penalties, to be taken out of the list of par-
1 the tariff. Special permission authorized all other com-
arties to the Fairbanks’ tariffs to continue the imposition of
Ity until the end of November. Thus again is the official
eae matter on account of its value and need. The

The National Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association has repeatedly
stated, says the “Monthly Letter and Bulletin,’ and we do so again

at this time, that it is not against transit cars of lumber, as such,

but that it is against the evils which have grown up around this
privilege which is detrimental to the proper distribution of lumber at
retail, and this order we believe to be of value in that direction.

How Freight is to be Paid
The following rules are prescribed by the Interstate Commerce
Commission of the United States to govern payments of freight
charges after July 1, 1920. This decision was reached in the Com-

mission’s Ex Parte No. 73, respecting Section 3 of the Interstate Com- _

merce Act to regulate commerce, as amended by Section 405 of the
Transportation Act of 1920.

“Tt is ordered: That the following rules and regulations be, and
they are hereby, prescribed to become effetcive on July 1, 1920, and
to remain in force until the further order of the Commission:

“1. Where retention of possession of any freight by the carrier
until the tariff rates and charges thereon have been paid will retard
prompt delivery or will retard prompt release of equipment or station
facilities, the carrier, upon taking precautions deemed by it to be
sufficient to insure payment of the tariff charges within the period cf
credit herein specified, may relinquish possession of the freight in
advance of payment of the tariff charges thereon and may extend
credit in the amount of such charges to those who undertake to pay
such charges, such persons being herein called shippers, for a period
of ninety-six hours, to be computed as follows:

“(A) Where the freight bill is presented to the shipper prior to,
or at the time of, delivery of the freight the ninety-six hours of credit
shall run from the first 4:00 p.m., following the delivery of the freight.

“(B) Where the freight bill is presented to the shipper subse-
quent to the time the freight is delivered the ninety-six hours of cre-

dit shall run from the first 400 p.m., following the presentation of the

freight bill,

“2 Every such carrier shall present freight bills to shippers not
later than the first 4:00 p.m., following delivery of the freight, except
that when information sufficient to enable the carrier to compute the
tariff charges is not then available to the carrier at the delivery point,
the freight bills shall be presented not later than the first 4:00 p.m.
following the day upon which sufficient information becomes avail-
able to the delivering agent of the carrier.

“3. Shippers may elect to have their freight bills presented by

‘means of the United States mails, and when the mail service is SO

used the time of mailing by the cartier shall be deemed to be the time
of presentation of the bills. In case of dispute as to the time of mail-
ing the postmark shall be accepted as showing such time.

“4 Sundays and legal holidays, other than Saturday half holi-
days, may be excluded from the computation of the period of credit.

“5S The mailing by the shipper of valid checks, drafts, or money
orders which are satisfactory to the carrier in payment of the tariff
charges, within the period of credit prescribed above, may be deemed
to be payment of the tartiff charges within the period of ninety-six

postmark shall be accepted as showing such time.”

South Western Executive Convenes
A meeting of the executive of the South Western Ontario Re-
tail Lumber Dealers’ Association was held recently at the Hotel

Sanita,

and the following directors were present :—Messrs. Chas. Hubbell,

Thamesville, G. D. McPherson, Merlin, T. C. Warwick, Blenheim, ,

B. F. Clarke, Glencoe, secretary-treasurer, and M. R. Bogart (S. Had-
ley Lumber Co.), Chatham.

Several matters of importance were discussed and good progress
was reported in Association work. The interest taken by the mem-
bers is very keen and the outlook for the coming season is bright.

Recession in May Building Activity

May building statistics reflect plainly a decline in building acti-
vities, according to the last issue of the American Contractor. Re-
turns from 192 cities give an estimated valuation of only $128,370,237
as compared to a valuation of nearly $200,000,000 from 200 cities for
April. This is only 20 per cent. gain over May 1919 operations
whereas April operations showed a 115 per cent. gain. June and
August were the record-breaking 1919 months but there is no indi-
cation of a June peak this year; possibly this may have been passed
in April. It has, unless the railroads can be made to function, says
The Contractor. The decrease from April activity is more notice-
able in the larger cities and the sudden letting down in issuance of
building permits is attributed to the ever increasing chaos in trans-
portation. The average value of permits per city for May has de-

creased about in proportion to the recession total for all the cities.

How Big Firm Encourages Publicity

A second book of dealer advertising cuts, supplementing the
series issued in November, 1919, has just been published by The
Long-Bell Lumber Company, of Kansas City, Mo.

The first series was very popular from the beginning, hundreds
of dealers requesting cuts for their local newspaper advertising. Files
containing actual newspaper clippings, show a wide range of these
cuts.

The new series includes four trade-marked lumber cuts, two
Long-Bell Forked Leaf Oak Flooring cuts, and six Long-Bell Creo-
soted Fence Post cuts, all in two and three column sizes. A few of
these cuts are also available in one-column size. The lumber cuts

THE MARK ON QUALITY LUMBER

suggest home-building, remodeling, attractive improvements for old
homes and trade-marked lumber. The two oak flooring illustrations
show children playing on smooth, durable Forked Leaf oak floors.
The economy. permanence and attractiveness of Long-Bell Creosoted
Fence Posts are especially stressed in six cuts. Two electros of Long-
Bell dealer signs complete the new series.

As in the case of the first series, the proofs of the new cuts and
advertisements are bound in convenient form. The pages are perfor-
ated and may easily be torn out to send to the printer. Blanks to be
filled out with instructions to the printer are at the bottom of each

page.

New Plant at Eburne is Model One

Regarded as one of the most modern shingle plants in British
Columbia the new mill of the Dominion Shingle and Cedar Co., Ltd.,

operation at Eburne, B. C. Undaunted by the high cost of machine-
ry and equipment of all kinds, the company decided to leave no stcne
unturned to make the new mill a most modern one in every detail, a
sprinkling system and duct collecting system being installed, the
former as a warning from past experience, and the latter with a view
of protecting the health of the employees.

Situated on a site of seven acres and having an excellent water-
front of 610 feet, the buildings, which are substantially constructed,
have been allocated to positions to conform with the demands of the
underwriters, who have given one of the lowest rates of insurance
on any mill in the Lower Mainland.

The boiler house, 45 x 75 feet, stands on piles, and is 45 feet from
the power house, which: adjoins the mill proper. It contains three
boilers of over 400 h.p. capacity, and fitted with Dutch oven feed,
the fuel coming in through an overhead conveyor with openings
above each feed hole.

The power houses contains Whelan twin engines and also a gen-
erator of 300 electric light capacity. Farther out on the waterfront is
‘the pump house with a capacity of 1000 gallons per minute, connect-
ed with the sprinkler system and also a 30,000 gallon supply tank.

The mill contains 13 Letson and Burpee machines, one hand
machine for spaults, an 86 in. Disston cut-off saw, Heaps Engineer-
ing Co. steam splitter operating 60 in. saw and two knee-bolters.

The plant has a new air cooled burner recently completed by .

the Walsh Construction Co., of Vancouver, 85 feet in height and 55
feet in diameter. To accommodate the working gang of 100 men, the
company has just completed a modern bunkhouse about 100 yards
from the mill which is fitted with dining rooms, kitchen, chef’s room,
and 40 rooms with two bunks in each. Shower baths have also been

installed.

Saw and Veneer Mills for Ancient Colony

A St. Johns, Newfoundland, report states that engineers and sur-
yeyors have arrived from the United States to beyin work prepara-
tory to the erection at St. George’s of a paper and pulp mill and a
saw mill; which. it is claimed, will be as large as any plant of the
kind so far erected in Newfoundland. There will also be two veaeer
mills to manufacture abundant growth of birch wood. in the district

and a factory for the making of boxes and barrels. The different tac~
tories will be equipped with modern and up-to-date machinery. The —
company is composed of British and American capitalists, who own
and centro! about 1,450 miles of timberland in St. George’s territory —
and also about 950 miles of timberland at Grand Lake, where they —
also intend to erect in the near future a pulp and saw mill, and freight
the products to the docks at St. George’s by rail. The company in- —
tends to export the pulp and paper to England and the United States. —
The lumber, barrels, boxes, etc., will be sold to the local market, as —
well as exported. The saw mill is to be erected near the railway”
and the water side in St. George’s Harbor, where a large pier
be built to a depth of water enabling ocean-going ships to load iff

The Standardization of Lumber Sizes

A recent letter from the Engineering Bureau of the National

Lumber Manufacturers’ Association concerning the work they are
doing in relation to standard sizes of yard lumber, shows progre “er
in this matter and that further efforts need to be made to bring this —
important work to completion. | Se
The matter of standard sizes for yard lumber is to be discuss-
ed at a conference to be held in Chicago the latter part of September.
This is in accordance with a resolution in which the Second Ameri-
can Lumber Congress went on record as favoring the standardization
of sizes of yard lumber and recommending that the regional manu-—
facturers associations carefully consider the sizes as suggested in —
Report No. 1 of the Engineering Bureau, National Lumber Manu- —
facturers’ Association, and that a further conference be held of repre-
sentatives of the associations not later than September, 1920.
“We are glad to report that the matter has been actively taken
‘uy in some of the associations and our work has been endorsed by
the engineers and architects as well as both the wholesale and retail
lumber dealers, and the Wholesale Sash and Door Association, |
“There are some manufacturers who fail to realize that there is a
real demand for standardization. We will be glad to have any com-
ments you may care to make on the needs for standardization from
your viewpoint; also suggestions as to the best way to bring the im- —
portance of this work to the’ realization of those manufacturers who
are slow to act on this matter.” '

Helping the Dealer with Suggestions

The Beaver Board Companies have mailed to several thousand
reliable job carpenters some suggestions as to methods of securing
the most attractive results from applying Beaver board. Plans have
been prepared showing three ways of using Beaver board in a living
room and these plans are being sent to all who request detailed plans
and specification sheets. Incidentally, the name of the retail lumber-
man in the vicinity who handles Beaver board is given on a se arate
sheet, These are simply two of the helps the Beaver Board Companies
are extending to the retail lumbermen who handle their products.
At present over one million square feet of Beaver board is being ap-
plied daily.

The Wood Construction in “Shamrock IV.”

“The wonderful strength of carefully selected, well-seasoned and
properly disposed wood” is emphasized by the designer of Sir Thomas
Lipton’s challenging yacht, “Shamrock IV” as quoted in an article
in a recent “Scientific American” which gives the leading character-
istics of this craft. The international yacht races will be held July
15th and will arrest widespread attention, as in former years.

Although “Shamrock IV” is of practically the same displacement
as the cup defender “Resolute,” it carries 25 per cent. more ¢ vas
or 10,800 square feet as against 8,650 square feet for “Re te.”
“Shamrock IV” is a boat of great initial stability capable of carry-
ing a huge spread of canvas—its spread of sail reaching 170 feet above
the deck—and this ability is due, according to its designer, to the
“wonderful strength” of the wood. The hull is sheathed with three
layers of mahogany, two layers inch thick, placed diagonally in opp
site directions at 40 degrees to the vertical, and an outer layer ¥%
of an inch thick, placed longitudinally, the whole being very iT
oughly fastened together with the joints evenly distributed. The
deck is of birch veneer, 54 of an inch thick and the hull is stiffened
against distortion by running birch veneer bulkheads at each web —
frame from the bilge to the deck along each side of the hull. The —
hull is also stiffened longitudinally by a series of wood longitudinals,
about 2% inches square in section.

The mast, two feet in diameter, is of wood and hollow, as are
the other spars. The topmast truck is 145 feet and the top of the: 3
clubtopsail 170 feet above the deck. This means that if Shamrock —
were afloat on Broadway the topmost point of her clubtopsail would
be level with the cornice of a 14storey building, and this, on a _
waterline of 75 feet. A .

Calling Another National Conference

Plans are under way at Ottawa for the calling of another national
industrial conference, at which both Capital and Labor will be in at-
tendance. The appropriation for this purpose was provided by Par-
liament in the Department of Labor estimates which passed during
the last week of the recent session.

The.conference held last year, it is felt, was productive of good —
results in bringing Capital and Labor together and ironing out many
incipient differences. This year it is hoped to continue the good in-
fluence started last September. ,

It is not likely that the conference this year will take plage be-
fore September or October, but the probable dates are expected to ©
be announced in the near future.

Mr. Drury Scores Timber System

Speaking at a Dominion Day celebration at Strathroy, Ont.,
Premier E. C. Drury took occasion to refer to the timber policy of
the U. F. O.-Labor administration of Ontario and said that “the
timber inquiry which has been going on was started because Ontario
with ten times the resources of New Brunswick, was receiving only
the same income as New Brunswick. It looked rather queer. What
was wrong?. The inquiry shows that the system was rotten to the
core. Sixty per cent. of the returns as to cuts of timber were perjuries. _
The returns were forgeries. When the amount pilfered is got back, —
and we will get it back, the people will be shocked.

“The new forest policy includes fire protection. for the forests —
and reforestation in that part of old Ontario where necessary. Pro-
per administration will give us an income never dreamed of.

“The Department of Mines will be the next to be investigated,
and we will see if we have been cheated in that department also. We
intend to get the right amount and then spend the receipts right.

If It’s Home

In a certain town in a certain section of our country there
lives a very rich man. His name is—let’s see, we'll call him
Jonathan Jones.

The name of Jonathan Jones in that city is a synonym for
riches,—for the arrived.

“Rich as Jonathan Jones,” the by-word goes,

A few months ago a young married couple moved into
their newly built home, a little, exquisite home, not costly or
elaborate, but containing all that makes a woman’s heart
burst with choking happiness, and that causes a man to swell
his chest and say, “It’s mine.”

- “How do you like your new home?” an acquaintance ask-
ed the wife.

She fairly beamed.

“Why,” she said, “I feel richer than Jonathan Jones.”

ier oP oe:

Richer than Jonathan Jones,—richer than Croesus, richer
than the man who might find the fabled wealth of the Incas.

Rich in more than money, because money is a sorry solace
for an empty life; rich in love, and good cheer, and kind words.
Rich in the tender pat on the cheek, in the touch of loving and
loved hands, in absolute contentment, and contentment, they
say, is the acme of happiness.

Hall Caine on Canada’s Pulpwood Supply

G. R. Hall Caine, formerly paper controller and adviser to the
Ministry of Munitions, has returned to London, Eng., after a tour of
Canada, and says that the alleged paper shortage is nothing more or
less than a shortage of wood pulp machinery.

“With reforestation, regrowths and conservation there is, pre-
sumably, enough wood pulp to last all the paper mills now in oper-
ation in Canada for 100 years, if they were all situated in the Pro-
vince of Quebec,” he said.

According to Mr. Caine, Canada offers a most fruitful field for
British capital in connection with increasing wood pulp facilities.
“T was assured that any such enterprises would have the whole-
hearted support of the Dominion Government authorities,” he declar-
ed.

He quoted the chief forester of Quebec to the effect that he “need
have no uncertainty in promising to provide pulp paper mills with raw
material in perpetuity, even if all the mills of that province doubled
their capacity.”

Mr. Caine admitted that there was a world shortage of paper
and said that there was nothing hopeful in any recent proposals to
find a paper substitute, most of the suggestions submitted to the
Ministry of Munitions during the war having been found impractic-
able.,

“Tet me explode at once the bubble that there is a shortage of
timber for paper making, discussing, of course, neither the Scandina-
vian nor the Russian situations, but that of Canada, and taking Que-
bec for the purpose of statistics,” he said. “In Qubec alone there
are between 70,000 and 80,000 square miles of timber limits, equival-
ent to 51,200,000 acres of forest. Usually it is reckoned that pulp
woods run on an average of between eight and ten cords to the acre.
This would mean that in Quebec to-day there are between 450,000,-
000 and 500,000,000 cords of pulp wood. The annual cutting runs be-
tween 3,000,000 and 4,000,000 cords. Therefore, there is a hundred
years’ supply.”

Mr. Caine gave two reasons for the paper shortage. First, the
fear of the Canadian forest interests, who, seeing the situation in the
United States, where wholesale cutting with no attention to reforest-
ation was going on, were brought to the realization that only fifteen
years’ supply was left, and, second, the terrific losses as a result of
forest fires in Eastern Canada where it was estimated that eighteen
trees were destroyed by fire for every one felled. The percentage of
these losses was higher in the dry climate of Western Canada, where
twenty-three trees were destroyed by fire for every one felled, he
said.

Mr. Caine placed the consumption of paper in the United States
at 40,000 tons a week. Canada, he said, was supplying the United
States with 12,500 tons a week, and meanwhile the Americans are
seeking a 25 per cent. increase of this to take care of their consump-
tion, despite the fact that the total Canadian output is only 16,000
tons a week.

“Summing up the situation, I am convinced that the enormous,
gfowing demand in the United States for news print is going to
make the European situation increasingly difficult during the next
four years or more,” he said. “Not only will the United States ab-
sorb all the news print that Canada can produce, even including the
production of the new, machines now being installed, but she will
force herself, both for news print and for wood pulp, into the Euro-
pean markets and will become a stern competitor in the British
mills.

“What is necessary is to enlarge the present manufacturing capa-
city of the mills of the world. In this connection Canada offers. splen-
did opportunities. Not only has she timber, but she has the huge wa-
ter power necessary for cheap production.

“One thing is quite certain, and that is unless something is done
in this direction, and is done speedily, the price of paper for news print
will go up still further.

Historic Tree Nearly Wiped Out

The cedars of Lebanon, famed in history, are reported to have
been almost wholly wiped out during the world war. First the Turks
cut them down for fuel to be used on their locomotives, and then
the conquerors of the Turks continued the destruction. No doubt
military exigency demanded that these celebrated forests should be
sacrificed and, since sentiment plays a small part in warfare, the fam-
ous trees were regarded with no other eye than that which saw in
them common material with which to produce motive power.

A writer in the San Francisco Argonaut deplores the fact that
stern necessity led to the disappearance of these trees, some of which
“were said to be nearly 3,000 years old. They were historic even in
the time when the army of Sennacherib, 608 years before the Chris-
tian era, laid waste the country, as related in the Psalms of David,
Pliny, the Roman historian, said the durability of their wood was
everlasting, and the Arabs regarded the trees as endowed with the

principle of perpetual existence. Timbers unearthed in the ruins o »
ancient Assyrian cities have been found practically unchanged a ‘
the vicissitudes of 2,000 years and more. The giant growths thrived —
best in the mountains south of Beirut. ~~
In ancient times the oil of the trees was believed to have curative —
properties and was applied to the bodies of sufferers from leprosy. —
The Romans used the oil to preserve their manuscripts.
Individual trees often attained a girth of forty-two feet, and height —

of ninety feet was common. The spread of the branches, exceeding

The Farmer and the Yardman rg

Handling trade with a firm understanding between you and your
customers makes lasting friends. They immediately have confidence
in you. They will continue to trade with you. Ay

Handle merchandise which you can personally recommend,
regardless of the cost as compared with competitive lines. It is ell
to know what your competitor handles, but when it comes to di we
ing a bargain, talk your merchandise and forget to mention your
competitor or his line. Let your trade make reference to your com-
petitor and they will express themselves along these lines if yot
give them time to do so. Then and there is a good time to be a good
listener when it comes to getting pointers. ieee ia

When the question of cost is raised, reason with him as to the
direct benefit he is to derive from the investment. The farmer is in
business for himself and knows a paying proposition when placed —
before him. Prove your point and he will venture with the rest.

Being personally acquainted with your customers will put you
ye sa touch wit farm prospects than any other method I know
of. Having confidence in you, they will tell of improvements
contemplate, and also mention what their neighbors sabe ll
oe ie ri of these facts and get in touch wherever improvements are
planned. ; ™

Being suggestive and not insistent is a good thing. For instance
a farmer will ask for a board or some other material which would be
too good or not good enough for the purpose. Upon inquiry as to
what the material is to be used for, your suggestions may prove pro-
fitable or helpful to him. Be interested—not inquisitive—in your
customer and his needs. .

Back up your statements, your newspaper advertising and your
envelope enclosures by actually stocking the new things. The far-
mer has modern ideas. He is ambitious and anxious for a modern
home; desires modern methods and better outside buildings. mach-
inery, livestock. Money would not buy his right to have his educa-
tional system, his telephone and his automobile, which have placed
him in direct touch with his fellow workers and town business men.
Being so closely linked with his home town and the outside world,
he has come to be an important factor in his community.

It behooves every one of us to deal with him in a modern, busi-
ness like way, showing- him the advantages of good building material
and new farm buildings. We must be “up and on our toes,” with
new suggestions and modern methods, or he will go where they can
be had without the asking. The farmer is our fellow business man.
Let’s get acquainted and gain his patronage.

Big Poplar Tree Yielded Huge Sum

The felling of a yellow poplar tree of .giant size is a Kentucky
incident worthy of narration, For untold years it had been a famous
landmark in the hills of the Cumberland Mountains. A large lum-
ber concern in Whitesburg not long ago cut this forest monarch, —
and about $11,000 was realized from the manufactured product. The
tree was sawed into nearly 7,000 feet of first-class lumber, with seyv-
eral hundred feet of second-class stuff thrown in. Not for half a
century, we are told, had such a tree been marketed from Eastern
Kentucky. A a Pages

My friend, have you ever heard of the town of Yawn

Where blooms the Waitawhile flower fair

And the soft Go-easys grow?

In the province of Let-her-slide:
That old “tired feeling” is native there—
It’s the home of the listless I-don’t-care,

The Right Balance of Two Factors

Vision is that quality in a man that leads rail-splitters to become
presidents; Conservatism is the thing that keeps his mind open to
the advice and suggestions that come to him along the way. Vision
is that quality in a business that gives us the wireless and the tele-
phone in place of the pony-express; Conservatism is the thing that
keeps businesses out of bankruptcy courts as they climb to success,
says the “Disston Crucible.”

It is Vision and Progressiveness on one hand against Conserva-
tism and Cold Analysis on the other that build business. One fur-
nishes the driving power; the other applies the brakes. Sometimes

Gathering the Hoo-Hoo in by the bag full

a business runs wild until it crashes at a turn; sometimes the brakes
are applied so strongly that business comes to a dead stop. Vision is
prone to forget that failure is possible; Conservatism forgets that it
is necessary to look beyond the present.

No business can be successfully run without both elements—
sufficient driving power and adequate braking equipment. Success is
attained by the proper balance of the two. —

Of the two, perhaps Vision is the thing that is most often lack-
ing.
sticcess has come to those enterprises that had more than common
Vision.

Take, for instance, the present question of forest conservation.
Otir Conservatism tells us it is new, it is untried, it has hundreds of
opportunities of “coming a cropper” and injuring our business.

But we must have the Vision to judge forest conservation in the
light of future conditions. We must not allow Conservation to con-
demn or apporve it without first giving attention to Vision’s story:
The balancing of Vision and Conservatism is a merciless task—a
labor that is never finished. But to those who are successful, the re-
wards are most generous. All great industries enjoying the fruits
of world-wide prestige have attained their position because of ability
to plan for the future and, at the same time, to recognize their limit-

ations.
Three Ages in Lumber Sellin
At one of the retail lumber conventions recently an old-time
lumber salesman was called upon for a talk on the subject of selling

lumber to the dealer and what the salesman can do to help the ©

dealer, etc., and he declared that in his experience there have been
three distinct and definite ages in lumber selling, as follows, says
the “Gulf Coast Lumberman.”

The hypocritical age.

The price cutting age.

The age of service.

The latter is the present day lumber selling era. The hypo-
critical age, he said, was back in the good old days that never will or
should return, when a man had to buy drinks to get orders, and
the size of his order file frequently depended very largely on the
size of his drink buying expense account; and the next town he
went to he had to go to prayer meeting with the religiously in-
clined dealer to his interest. It wasn’t business, but it was
done.

The price cutting age followed that one. In that age you might

be all right, and your lumber might be fine, but if you couldn’t:

make at least as good a price as the guy with any old service and
any old lumber, you did not get the business.

But this, he said, is the age of service. Personality counts
more than ever. Prices still count, of course, and will count until
the crack of doom, but the biggest thing of all is what you can
give the lumber dealer long after the car of lumber is delivered and
eons in his yard. The lumber dealer to-day is not hard to deal
with. :

Pulpwood Cut Will Be Heavy This Fall

There is considerable activity in pulpwood at the present time
owing to the high prices prevailing. In some quarters it is believed
that there is a speculative element entering the market and that
certain parties are on the quiet buying up stocks in the hope of realiz-
ing handsomely this fall owing to the ascending value and scarcity
of pulp of all kinds. Threre is no doubt that there will be an enor-
mous cut of pulpwood this fall in Northern Ontario and Quebec and
at present there is a great deal of poplar being offered. This is due
to the growing scarcity of spruce, thus increasing the demand for
poplar, while at the same time this is an easy wood to take out, light
to handle and remunerative in operation.

E. R. Heyland, of the Thompson & Heyland Lumber Co., Toron-
to, states that his firm has been offered about 150,000 cords of pop-
lar this season and cannot possibly find a market for all that is
available although they will handle several thousand cords. South
of North Bay they are paying $13.00 per cord for peeled poplar and
$18.00 for peeled spruce and balsam. The peeling season will be
over ‘within a short time now and the quantity of wood peeled has
been large.

The Thompson & Heyland Lumber Co. have been appointed
purchasing representatives in Ontario for the West Virginia Pulp
& Paper Co., of New York, in order to supply the mill at Tyrone,
Pa., with poplar wood, while the West Virginia company’s plant at
Mechanicsville, N. Y., will be supplied with spruce,

Owing to the rapid development of the pulp and paper business,
its expansion on every side, and the consequent higher prices paid
for pulpwood, many settlers and contractors are directing their at-
tention to this branch at the present time. Whether prices will go
much higher or not depends largely upon the labor situation. The
car shortage is felt at a number of points and the biggest problem
in face just now is transportation. Conditions in this respect have
not improved within the past few weeks. It is reported that there is
a pile of 14,000 cords of poplar along the Gatineau Valley lying there
for months owing to lack of cars to get it out.

Will Canada Soon Run Out of Pulpwood?

Lord Atholstan—Canada’s “latest and last Peer’—who is at
present in London, Eng., making arrangements for the Imperial Press
Conference to held at Ottawa in August, was asked the other
day for his views on the white paper shortage—one of the most ser-
ious problems facing the industrial world in general, and not only
the newspaper owner.

“This question,” he said, “will undoubtedly be the chief sub-
ject for discussion at the conference. The price of paper has gone
up, literally, by leaps and bounds. Do you know that Canadian mills
are now selling to the United States paper at $210, American, a
ton?”

For comparison with this price it may be mentioned that the
pre-war price of paper for printing purposes averaged from $45 to
$50 a ton.

When Lord Atholstan was asksed if he could state the reason for
this tremendous rise in price, he considered for a moment before
replying.

“A few American publishers,” he continued, “have of late bought
in the principal mills of Canada, in some cases to such an extent
that they have practically secured control of these mills, and they
are now after other mills.

“Tt is not only the rise in wages which accounts for the increase
in prices. There has been another factor.

“The newspapers of the United States and Canada have had
fifteen months—since the armstice, in fact—of the most wonderful
development in advertising that has ever taken place in the whole
history of the two countries, The demand for publicity has, in fact,
been insatiable.

“The papers, in consequence, have increased and increased in

size until the bulk of them was limited only by mechanical capa-.

city. The result has been a consumption of paper from fifteen, twenty,
and up to thirty per cent. over the highest ever recorded.

“This demand has enriched the great papers of the ‘larger cities
beyond computation. _Even the owners of smaller journals have made
fortunes. One New York publisher who, I know, was struggling. a

year or so ago to make headway, in the last twelve months has
amassed a sum of $500,000. ‘a
“Tt stands to reason that this enormous accession of business:
has enabled the newspaper publishers to pay almost any price foi
paper, and as the demand increased, up went the price. The paper
mills are making up to thirty per cent. on capital. 7
“But the most serious aspect of the situation is that the supply
of wood is within measurable distance of extinction. Indeed, it cam-
not be very long before a new kind of material for paper-making
will have to be discovered, or newspapers will be high in price a1 d

“Tt is a pity that the English newspaper publishers did not fo re.
see the crisis. If they were to take up the question now, and appoint
one, two or three from among themselves to go over to Canada to
investigate the situation, there is still time for them to do great things —
to save the situation for British publishers. ic ake Aa

Estimated Resources of Canada’s Pulpwood

“We have not reduced the total estimate of 1,000,000,000 cords, —
but protest vigorously the right of anyone to make the deducti that —
Canada has 344 years’ supply at current rate of consumption,” writes —
Mr. James White, assistant to the Commission of Conserva’ Ot-
tawa, to The Wall Street Journal. psi

The reference is to that part of a Montreal despatch, stating:
“Tt would take 344 years to exhaust the Canadian pulpw limits
at current rates of consumption, if the estimate of the Dominion Com-
mission of Conservation be reasonably accurate. The limits contain
at least 1,033.000,000 cords, a third in Quebec.” ‘eae

Mr. White shows the estimate mentioned “covers timber suit-
able for pulpwood through Canada consisting of spruce and balsam,
in Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia; spruce, bal-
sam and popular in the prairie provinces, and Sitka, spruce, western
balsam and cottonwood in British Columbia. a Dt.

“Large quantities of this timber are commercially inaccessible to —
existing transportation, and of this inaccessible timber, much must
remain so far an indefinite period. The extent to which the so-called
pulpwood species are being used for the manufacture of lumber and
other products is also overlooked. SA tie tage

“A revised estimate by the commission, based upon the best —
available data from all sources, places the total of spruce and balsam,
the species primarily used for newsprint, accessible and inaccessible,
at 501,000,000 cords, for eastern Canada. That which is accessible to
existing transportation amounts to 421.000,000. With reasonable de-
duction for diameter limit restrictions, loss and waste in logging and
stream driving and for merchantable material left uncut and which —
will be lost through insects, decay and windfall the total on the basis
of potential delivery is 301,000,000. = We

“This includes 100,000,000 cords in Ontario, 18 per cent. private:
155,000,000 cords in Quebec, 14 per cent. private; 26,000,000 cords

B. C. Paper Mills Face New Obstacle

According to recent reports it would appear as if the oe =
dustry in British Columbia is facing a very serious situation. Pract ——
cally all of the pulp and paper plants in B. C., and more particularly —
the larger operations, have oil-burning steam generating plants and
are entirely dependent on this fuel for their power. The crude oil to
run these plants has been coming from the Standard Oil Co. in Cali- ~
fornia. It would appear as if the Standard Oil Co. are not able to-
supply the local demand for this fuel, with the result that they are —
cutting down on the quantities available for export; in fact there is
a likelihood that there will be no more crude oil available for ship-
ment to Canada. One reason for this state of affairs is that many
new oil-burning steamers are being installed on Pacific Coast rums. —
The newspapers in Vancouver, Victoria and practically all down the
Coast as far as San Francisco and San Diego, are dependent on the

Pulp Cannot be Made from Fine Theories
Editor, “Canada Lumberman.”

I notice that the rate of annual growth in our forests must be
increasing quite rapidly, as in the issue of the Pulp & Paper Magazine
of May 13th, the Vice President of the International Paper Co. claim-
ed a 4 per cent. growth, while in the issue of May 27th he claims
it to be 11-3/7 per cent., and that there may be no misunderstanding
in connection with these figures I will quote his statement verbatim:

“As to the ‘four per cent. increment,’ I desire to quote
from the Ninth Annual Report of the Commission of Conser-
vation of Ottawa, and from Professor C. D. Howe of the

Faculty of Forestry, University of Toronto. in his mono-

graph entitled ‘Forest Regeneration on Certain Cut-over

Pulpwood Lands in Quebec.’ In this brochure on page ten

he states as his conclusion from exhaustive studies made in

the St. Maurice Valley, it would take 70 years for a spruce

tree, 4 inches in diameter, to attain a diameter of 12 inches.

Let us see exactly what this means in growth percent- -
age. A block of spruce 1 ft. long and 4 in in diameter con-
tains 150.8 cubic mches. A block of spruce 1 ft. long and

12 in, in diameter contains 1357.2 cubic inches. Therefore

in 70 years a foot section of a 4 in. spruce tree would gain

1206.4 cubic inches in attaining a diameter of 12 inches.

This is an increase in the 70 years of 800 per cent., or

an annual average increase of 11-3/7 per cent. per annum.

And in considering this astoundingly large percentage of
- annual growth, it must be remembered that this is simply

circumferential growth, and takes no account whatsoever

of altitudinous increment.”

The International Paper Company must be very short of wood
when it becomes necessary to grow trees at such a rapid rate.

It is much to be regretted that pulp cannot be manufactured
from fine theories. If it could be there would certainly be no short-
age of paper to-day, but we are faced with a condition and not a
theory. The figures quoted by this official of the International Paper
Company are the very best evidence that there is positively no net
annual growth in our much abused forests as they exist to-day, for
if there were an 11 per cent. growth, a 44 per cent. or even a 1 per
cent. net growth, there would be more standing wood on the Que-
bec leased lands to-day than there ever was, as the annual cut on
these lands is only 2,000,000 cords, or less than 1 per cent. of the
stand of 224,000.000 cords, as quoted by this official.

I am not vouching for any of the above figures, except the an-_
nual cut, which is correct. I am merely using his own figures to
show that his contention that there is a net annual growth is ridicu-
lous. When the cut only amounts to less than 1 per cent. of the
stand of timber and still our supply is diminishing, so very much
more than this amount every year, how can there be any net growth?

The fallacy of the contention that there is any such amount of
growth lies in a fact that should be perfectly plain to any school boy.
We might just as well contend that each child that is born lives to
the age of three score years and ten, in which case the world would
be as densely populated with human beings as the vice-president of
the International Paper Company would have it covered with trees.

If anyone questions the rapidity with which our supply of tim- —
ber is diminishing, I would ask why it is that some of the larger
operators are now cutting in such remote sections that it takes two
years to drive their logs to the mills, and why it is that limits have
advanced in price from, say, $100 per square mile to $3,500 per square
mile? Why pulpwood has advanced from $3.00 per cord to $30 and
more, f.o.b.? Why fee land has advanced from $1 per acre to $10, »
$15 or $30, and over ? Also why the size of logs has dropped from
six or seven down to sixty or seventy to the thousand feet, and
why they are shipping wood out of the country by rail that runs in
size from four or five inches down to 1% inches in diameter, mere
poles that have only just begun to grow? Also why are all the
larger paper companies in Canada planting seedlings in a large way
as fast as they possibly can ?

With the above cold facts staring us in the face it must. of
course, be perfectly apparent to any man of ordinary intelligence that
any claim made as to a net annual growth is simply a “delusion,”
and that the greatest satisfaction we have in this connection is in
the knowledge that all of the people cannot be fooled all of the time.

Sincerely yours, ‘

As the toothed edge of the saw does the guiding, this edge 9 ae
_ should have the greatest strain, the back edge nearly as much, and
the central portions expanded just enough to insure the saw blade
doing good work. This is ascertained by actual practice. It is found
that when resawing hardwood more tension is required than when
re-sawing soft, straight-grained timber, as the more difficult the wood
is to cut, necessarily the more inclined the saw blade is to dodge,
and thus friction is brought against a certain portion of the saw blade,
more especially near the teeth or cutting edge. This heats the blade, ;
expands it, and leaves the cutting edge of the saw slack, so that it —
will dodge and do poor work.
Adjusting the Tension Required

To provide as much as possible against this occurrence it is found
= advisable in some cases to leave the back edge of the saw a little
longer than the front, and thus, as the saw heats, the upper wheel
is free to rise and the cutting edge of the saw will remain taut,
ey while should the back edge of the saw be the same length as the front

caused the users of band resaws a great deal of annoyance. In con-
clusion, finish up the fitting of the saw blade before attempting to
run it.

The cracking of band saw blades is caused by some of the fol-
lowing conditions: from overstraining or from vibration. Vibration
may arise from any of the following causes: if the face of the wheel
is out of true; if the wheels are out of balance; if sawdust and gum
accumulate on the face of the wheels; uneven tension hammered in
the saw blade. Then. too, the saw may be crystallized from too heavy

blows with a hammer or from using sharp-faced hammers, or from
the swage of the tooth being of such form as to crowd the saw against

Dark portion indicates where to hammer to straighten

the guides. The saw will also vibrate from insufficient strain. It
is necessary that as near an even strain should be maintained on the
saw blade as possible.

Hanging the Saw on the Mill

See that the upper and lower wheels are adjusted one in line
with the other. Place the saw blade in position, the teeth only pro-
jecting over the edge of thé wheel. Raise the upper wheel and pro-
vide the proper strain for the saw blade. Turn the wheels slowly
around by hand and train the saw so that it will maintain the proper
position, namely the teeth projecting half inch beyond the face of
the wheel. Do this by tilting the upper wheel. When the proper
adjustment has been made, secure the shaft in this position and do
not further adjust it vertically (ie., tilt) so long as you have this
saw in use.

As the saw blade becomes full or tends to crowd back on the
wheel, counteract this by the use of the cross-line lever This latter
must not be abused. however, as a very slight adjustment is sufficient,
“and the saw must not run in a twist.” If the pitch or hook of the.
teeth is suited to the work done, and if the saw has been hammered
to the proper tension, it will maintain its position firmly on the wheels
with little or no use of the cross-line. A pitch or hook of the teeth
which gives good results is about 5 inches to 12 inches in width
of the saw.

Directions for Brazing Saw Blades

The ends of the saw blade are first prepared by filing a true
taper, commencing back about 1/2 inch from the end and filing the
saw thinner as it approaches the end, at which point it should be
only the thickness of a knife-edge, one end of the saw being filed
from the outside and the other from the inside. This being done the
saw should be placed on the brazing table, the back edge being
brought against the back of the brazing table. This forms a straight

Comparing wood remove by different saws

edge, and will bring the saw blade to a straight line. Now dust
some powdered borax on the under edge of the saw blade, and after
cleaning a piece of silver solder of the proper size slip this between
the ends on top of the borax. Dust some borax as well on the silver
solder. The saw now being in proper position, the ends lapping
1/2 inch, the brazing irons should be slipped one over and one un-
der the saw, and the screws adjusted so that the saw blade, when
clamped lies in a perfectly level position. Now withdraw the irons,
only loosening the screws enough to allow this and no more, heat
the irons to a cherry red in a clean fire, again place them in position.
and by means of the clamping screws firmly bring them to bear up-
on the saw blade. Leave in this position until cool, when the saw
may be removed and the joint dressed and hammered the same as
the rest of the blade. Some filers prefer to use muriatic acid in place
of borax; the effect is the same.

British Emissary’s View of Pulp
Situation

When he was in Canada early
in the year, investigating the
wood pulp situation, with a view
to helping out the paper shortage
in Great Britain, Ralph Hall
Caine, former British deputy pa-
per controller, did not spend
much time in British Columbia.
He has returned to England with
very little offer of encouragement
to the paper trade. In fact, so far
as England getting any help, he
expressed the opinion on his re-
turn to London, that it would be
idle to expect any immediate re-
lief. He said: “I don’t see the
slightest chance of Europe get-
ting any pulp from Canada for
at least three years.”” Though en-
thusiastic over Canada as a pulp-
producing country, he sized up
the situation with respect to the
United States as a big customer.
“In Quebec, Ontario and New
Brunswick,” he said, “T found the
three provincial governments ada-
mant’in their refusal to allow the
export of wood pulp to the Unit-
ed States or anywhere else. What
is wanted,” he continued, “is Bri-
tish capital to develop the pulp
industry in Canada, otherwise the
big interests.in the United States,
which require paper in the worst
possible way, are certain to jump

in and do so.

“Canada,” said Hall Caine, “of-
fers a splendid opportunity. She
has not only timber but the huge
waterpower necessary for cheap
production. I am convinced there
is a fruitful field for British cap-
ital in this direction and I am
assured any such enterprise will
have the whole-hearted support
of the Dominion Government
authorities. British newspaper
owners must realize, as the Amer-
icans have, that it is essential
they control their raw material
supplies. It seems to me that if

the provincial governments will
not give way on the export ques-
tion, the only way is for an all-
round increase in Canadian pro-
duction with a _ percentage of
pulp allotted to the two coun-
tries”—(Great Britain and U.S.)

New Zealand Systematized
Lumbering

In New Zealand a scheme for
controlling the disposition of tim-
ber supplies was devised and put
into operation. An advisory com-
mittee, upon which were repre-
sented the sawmillers, timber
merchants, building trades and
users of white pine, was ap-
pointed. This committee secured
information as to domestic de-
mand for various kinds of timber.
At the outset it not only required
the retention in New Zealand of
lumber for the home market, but
restricted the output of the mills.
Subsequently, these restrictions
were relaxed. The sawmillers un-
dertook not to increase prices
without the consent of the board
of trade. The increase of sup-
plies for home consumption,
moreover has served, it is re-
ported, to prevent undue enhance-
ment of prices in New Zealand.

Canada’s problem is, in some
respects, dissimlar to that which
confronted New Zealand. Canada,
in the first place, has in the Un-
ited States a convenient market
in which is a keen demand for
lumber. Moreover, while Canada
exports to the United States an-
nually lumber valued at about
$50,00,000, she also imparts from
the United States lumber valued
at about $18,000,000. From the
United States, for instance, some
hardwoods are imported which
are necessary for many purposes.
United States buyers made con-
tracts at $60 a thousand feet and
even higher. :

60 CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER Sa a

Ontario and the East

July is generally a quiet month in the lumber arena so far as
the wholesalers are concerned, and this particular month sees no
exception to the general rule. Prices on eastern stuff have been
holding firm although hemlock is, perhaps, a little weaker due to the
competition of southern pine.

The car situation is one regarding which wholesalers and manu-
facturers still have many complaints to make. In the mills manufac-
turing conditions are becoming stabilized, labor is less restless, logs
are coming to hand in better shape and in larger quantities and pro-
ducing conditions are, on the whole, better than they have been for
some weeks. Of course there are a few exceptions but, generally
speaking, manufacturers have little to complain of.

There is a possibility of a very serious car shortage this fall and
it is feared if certain interests hold off buying too long, that they
may not be able to secure stock when they want it. One wholesaler
expressed the opinion this week that prices would be firmer on all
lines of softwoods this autumn, and as conditions in the labor and
material market were becoming more normal, next season will wit-
ness the greatest building boom ever enjoyed in the Dominion. An-
other leading representative stated that cull lumber of all kinds is in
exceptionally strong requisition and very difficult to get hold of in
sufficient quantities at the present time; in fact he intimated that
he had a standing order for all the lower grades that he could pos-
Sibly secure.

Those who are going after business aggressively have little cause
to complain in the lumber arena today. The lath market is holding

‘fairly firm and as increased quantities are available, it is predicted

that there may be a softening in prices. ;

Hardwoods are in fair requisition, and, while no heavy buying
is going on, the number of smaller orders keeps up, notwithstanding
that furniture manufacturers and phonograph firms have somewhat
curtailed production since the recent luxury tax came into effect.

According to a Kansas City report souther! pine has dropped
another ten per cent. Quotations being made there recently were as
low as $55.00 a M., a reduction of $5.00. THe value of southern pine
has descended about 30 per cent. in the last month. Pine lath has
been reduced from a high figure to $15.00 in the same period. The
hardwood market across the border has shown a slight softening.
The fall in pine stock from the high level reached earlier in the
season is due largely to the desire of some of the bigger dealers to
stabilize the market and increase building. Builders and contractors
have been advised not to expect any further drop but that present
prices will be maintained throughout the balance of the year, is
the word received by a number of Ontario firms.

There has been a slight advance in B. C. shingles which are
now on the up grade, the increase being from 30c to 50c per M. The
ascension in price is caused by many of the mills in the West be-
ing closed down. On western boards, shiplap and small dimension
there has been some stiffening of prices and advances of from $3.00
tc $5.00 have been made on a number of lines.

Latest advices are to the effect that retailers are buying in fait
quantity and representatives of B. C. mills report very good busi-
ness for this time of the year.

Lath are holding firm in price and there is no surplus, while the
building trades are calling for a considerable quantity.

United States

Conditions in the lumber market generally remain quiet although
there is a perceptible improvement in some lines. In others a great
deal of price-cutting has entered the field but business has not
been stimulated to any extent by such methods. The car situation
is still causing shippers great anxiety and at many points there
is extreme congestion. Building in numerous cities and towns has
slowed down to a degree greater than at first anticipated owing to
the constant demands of labor and the succession of strikes. This
has resulted in a huge number of projected enterprises being held
in abeyance. While many cars of lumber have been put in transit,
these have been sold at reduced prices.

Speaking of conditions in the building trade, one eastern firm
writes:—Labor is gradually getting more stabilized. On account
of the lack of transportation, the essentials for building, such as brick,
cement. lime, glass and hardware, have not been able to reach the
yards, although some slight improvement has been reported this last

week. Until money is available for building at a normal rate, we cam-—
not expect to see any revival no matter what prices are. While there
has been a slowing up in the volume of orders_received at the prin-
cipal producing districts, the chief difficulty encountered by the m Is
is in connection with transportation. The car shortage has been
pronounced all through the first half of the year, and it is getting
worse. The diversion of equipment to the grain and coal trade, for
the movement of last year’s grain and of coal supplies to point
distant from the mines, cut into the supply of cars available for the
shipment of lumber; and the approaching harvests in the mii ,
north will demand even more facilities. “a
If the volume of orders flowing to the mills has been lig!
there has also been a material reduction in the output of lumber
all sections but the Pacific northwest. Southern pine mills are |
producing about two-thirds of normal capacity, and during the me
of June the new orders exceeded the amount shipped. Even at
there has been a steady lowering of price quotations, and this has -
probably contributed to keep the volume of new business lower than |
it otherwise would have been. (ser Oa
The output of northern pine, hemlock and hardwood mills has
been greatly cut down by the timberworkers’ strike and, though the —
men are gradually returning to work and mills are now operating —
to more nearly capacity, the lost motion cannot be made up this —
year. This tends to keep prices for these woods on a level close to
the high point. ‘i

In the hardwood arena there has been a quickening of the mar-
ket and prices are holding fairly firm. Any buying that is going on
is for immediate requirements, and there is no disposition on the
part of any large consumers to accumulate stocks. Transportation
and money conditions are the chief factors which restrict trade. With
their warehouses in many cases filled with manufactured goods which
they cannot ship because of their inability to secure cars, not a few
are able to undertake larger obligations owing to financial limitations.

The manufacturers of hardwood lumber are commencing to ac-
cumulate some stock, but the supply at the mills is not yet menac-
ing, and may not become so. One reason is that the wholesalers
seem to have faith in the future of the market and are buying avail-
able stocks for future trade. They are not paying the high prices
which prevailed a few months ago, and they hardly expect to sell their
purchases at the prices they could then obtain. But they are able to
buy at values which leave them a margin on what they believe the
market will be. ‘4

Some factory consumers found themselves with more stock on —
hand than they can use, and part of this is finding its way back into.
the market. It is not being sacrificed, however, for there is no pres-
ent need for that. ; :

In regard to southern pine, there has been a slight turn for the
better, and there has been a perceptible increase in the demand dur-
ing the past few days along with a firming up of prices. Produc-
tion is, however, much curtailed, many of the smaller mills having
closed down recently as a result of the lethargic state of the market.
As soon as the market shows signs of definite improvement, these
mills will resume activities, as it is felt that the latent demand for —
lumber is very large and that it cannot remain dammed up as it tes +3
been for the last few months. > in ae

Referring to the-general car ‘situation, an exchange says —Fre <3
transportation of the crops is the problem which disturbs the en-
tire industrial and commercial world, and this year the country un-
doubtedly will wake up to a realization of the insufficiency of its —
transportation system if it never has before. With the open top ~
cars commandeered for coal hauling and the box cars going. a

crippled for an indefinite time.

During the past two months a note of pessimism has prevailed
in certain ranks owing to the continued depression in trade. On
the other hand there are several optimists who believe that the pres-
ent quietness is but temporary and has been caused by factors which
will sooner or later disappear, such as the heavy taxation, the liqui- —
dation of stocks caused by the tightness of money, etc. Speaking
of the trade in general, a recent issue of the Timber Trades Journal R.)

without it there is no chance of success. We have heard of many cases
where importers’ goods have arrived in London unsold, and where
it has been quite impossible to sell the wood at a profit on c.i.f. terms.
In all cases, however, the firms in question have wisely decided against
forcing sales. Taking the long view, and knowing that in the first
place supplies cannot be in excess of the demand, and secondly, that
sawn goods cannot be replaced at the current figures, the importers
are convinced that spot prices must rise, and they therefore see no
necessity for parting with their stocks unless they can secure a fair
trading profit. We admit that at the moment the situation seems
a little precarious, but a continuation during the present month of
the improvement shown in June will put a different complexion
on the whole industrial situation.
There is not much improvement in the hardwood market, and
there will undoubtedly be some low sales of various American woods
in the near future, as the holders of stock will not be able to wait
until the consumption increases. That this increase is all that is ne-
cessary to keep prices firm seems clear from the fact that new im-
portations cannot be made at the old figures; but new importations
are not wanted now, and will probably not be in demand until the
autumn. Looking ahead, therefore, the position would appear to be
a sound one, but the freight problem may upset all calculations. It
may be that in the autumn we shall see Atlantic freights on a very
different level, and a heavy reduction would have some bearing on
laardwood prices, Although supplies in America are not large, ship-
pers would be glad of some further business, and would sell if they
could without endeavoring to secure the full benefit of the lower

Export Business at Quebec Hit By High Rates

The timber and deal trade at Quebec shows no improvement in
regard to export to the United Kingdom over conditions that pre-
vailed at the end of June in 1919. Activities in export are hampered
by the high prices in freight, 300 shillings per standard of three inch
deals, and 450 shillings per standard in shipping of timber to the
United Kingdom. There are very little hopes of these freight rates
being reduced, which are ten times in excess of the rates which
Quebec exporters

present, rates would be to some extent this month and August but
present appearances do not indicate any appreciable change.

One of the reasons advanced for the continuation of the steam-
ship freight rates is the enormous amount of lumber ordered by the
Imperial Ministry during the war that is still held for shipment.
The wood goods that had been purchased by the Imperial Govern-
ment in the west and stored at Montreal and its vicinity has been
carried oversas. In the present, however, there is a very large quan-
tity of lumber and timber ordered by the Imperial Government stored
east of Quebec, including Matane, Miramichi and other centres
of the lower St. Lawrence.

In the meantime the movement of Canadian trade in the St. Law-
rence has a considerable influence on the freight rates charged by
liners, especially in the spring and fall. The amount of grain to be
shipped to European markets this fall will have some influence on
the rates in freight for the shipments of timber and deals. The Que-

bec export timber aud lumber merchants who ship largely manu- »

factured lumber and white pine from the-ports of Montreal and
Three Rivers, have had a fairly good season up to date, by the ship-
ment of small parcels of wood as part cargo of almost every Euro-
pean liner, but the shipments of full and part cargoes from Quebec
have not up to the present been very active; in fact up to normal on
account of the high costs of freight, as well as scarcity of ship bot-
toms.

The local Quebec lumber business has not been at all active
this summer. This is due to the high demand in price for wood,
with the result that construction work has been much retarded. The
wholesale lumber trade in the Ancient Capital on this account are
‘not doing the business they expected last spring, and although it
has been made clear to the contractors that no reduction in the pres-
ent or near future can be expected, they cannot educate the people to
believe that the price of lumber will be maintained, with the result
that men who wish to invest in new construction are holding back

with the hope that the quotations of material and labor will be low-

ered.
In a conversation with a leading Quebec firm of manufacturers

and exporters your correspondent was informed that the Quebec

smaller sizes in good quality values are almost proportionate. he
demand for such wood is strong indeed, and all the fresh arrivals
will be sold promptly as soon as they are ready for delivery. For
many purposes, of course, commoner quality wood has now to be
used, but architects are too particular, and work is often delayed by

We are therefore likely to see throughout this year an appreciatio
in the value of what is known as joinery wood; and this will take plac

Montreal Business Quiet With Prices Firm

Speaking generally, the Montreal lumber market is dull, a condi-
tion which is usual at this period of the year. But although business
is slack, prices continue to hold firm. Some wholesalers are of opin-
ion that the peak has been reached, and that the tendency in the
immediate future will be towards a slightly lower range of values.
At the same time the mills it is stated, continue to ask substantial
prices for their lumber. In view of the undoubted high costs, it is
difficult to see how values can fall to any appreciable extent.

Transportation is a prime factor in the market just now, particu-
larly in relation to United States business. There are com ylaints that
goods are very slow in being moved, and that it is difficult to secure —
sufficient cars. :

The local section is slow, although the building points are very
satisfactory. The permits for last month totalled $8.428,595, an in-
crease of $1,697,178; while for the six months’ period the total was
$8,541,904, a gain of $5,654,480. Very little progress has been made
with local scheme for workmen’s dwellings, and it looks as if noth-
ing definite will be'done this year. The Council originally asked for
a loan of $3,000,000, but as the suburbs have been allocated about
$2,000,000, this has been changed to $1,000,000, which will not go far
in supplying the acute shortage of houses. ;

Box makers report that there is.a brisk demand for their com-
modity, and the sash and door factories have also some good orders.

The lath market is a little softer. but there is‘not a great deal
on the market. en

The demand for lumber for the United States has fallen off,
partly owing to the fact that the yards have not yet disposed of the
goods ordered earlier in the season and partly to the disinclination

of the drop in prices on the other side. , oa

Demand Slackens in Ottawa But Prices Hold Firm

:

)

fs Continued firm prices, with a lessened demand, and a most un-

{ certain outlook as to European export, coupled with the continued
strike of 450 former employees of the woodworking factories and

| plants, were the principal events of interest in the Ottawa lumber

market, during the opening period of July. Taken all around, though

| the volume of trade was greater than during a corresponding period

/ a year ago, it was doubtful if the outlook for the future was as good.
In some circles of the trade the correspondent of the “Canada Lum-
herman” has been informed that it will be as long as another six
months, before trade begins to really pick up or begin to fulfil the
expectations, that lumber dealers had formerly held for it.

The market though it did not show any signs of weakening as
to price, slowed up considerably, in both the domestic, and foreign de-
mand to the United States, as compared with the closing period of
June. In the early days of July the principal demand from the Unit-
ved States swung from the middle and lower grades, to “twelve inch”
stock, indicating that the better grades of lumber were coming back
into their own again on the American market. Spruce and pine stocks
were principally in demand.

A fair ana'ysis, from the standpoint of a lay mind, of the market

was that the trade did not exactly know where it was at. For in-
stance the wholesalers still remained completely in the dark as to
what prices the manufacturers still remained completely in the dark
as to what prices the mnaufacturers were going to charge for this
year’s sawmill cut. The retailer was not buying, because he did not
exactly see his way to sell, and he was more or less timid about tak-
ing a chance:on stocking up, with quotations from the manufacturer
being held in abeyance. The European export situatiom while at-
tracting much attention, really remained a case of sixes and sevens,
though exporters watched every move in the market with keen in-
terest.
. The principal demand, though it was not as great in volume as
during late June, continued to come from the United States. The
domestic demand though it kept up somewhat was not in proportion
- to the late June business. Local building conditions, outside of the
disturbed labor situation, indicated that lumber sales for consump-
tion at Ottawa should increase. June building permits dropped
$120,000 below those of May, but on the two months the total esti-
mated valuation was considerably in advance of that of 1919.

The general impression from the manufacturing and wholesaling

end was that quotations would maintain their present levels, and it

was further freely predicted that manufacturing prices for this

year’s sawmill cut would advance. The assumption for the advance

was based almost entirely on increased operating costs, and the high-
er wages being paid to labor.

Pine and spruce stocks commanded the most attention. Labor
_ with the sawmills remained reasonably plentiful. The supply of
logs to sawmills in the Ottawa Valley while they were not as great
as had been expected or as many as the operators would have liked
to have seen, remained sufficient to continue operations. As com-
pared with the middle of June the situation as to logs did not grow
any worse, and the water instead of falling to the extent the manu-
facturers had expected, continued to keep up fairly well. The con-
census of opinion of the trade was, however, that with the shortage
of logs early in the year, the season’s sawmill cut was certain to be
| reduced. This means that stocks next winter will be still lower
than during the winter of 1919-20. The foreign car situation show-
. ed some improvement. Cars became more. plentiful and the de-
spatch of shipments more prompt.

Official trade confirmation that the demand for stocks for Euro-
pean export had slowed up considerably, in comparison with last
August and September, was made. It is declared that the future
outlook as to the European market is a great deal more serious and
complex than many persons at the present time believe.

One of the first and principal factors that Canadian exporters
to England had to look at before selling stocks was the financial
situation and the rate of bank discount, which early in July stood
at seven per cent. Ocean space became more plentiful, but the rate
of 300 shillings per standard did not vary.
hermen were playing hide and seek and would not commit them-
selves as what might or might not occur. The holding of a steamship
conference, as announced in despatches from London early in July,
was taken in several trade circles to mean that it was for the purpose
of ascertaining the extent, tonnage, facilities and operation of the
British Merchant Marine, and weigh them off against the American
Marine. Rumors-were current in the trade that with the passing of

Generally the outlook as to future European export trade 1 e-
mained very uncertain. The holding of the Imperial Lumber Con-—
ference in London which is being attended by Canadian representa-
tives was regarded in well informed circles as being more for mak-
ing a general survey of the. timber and lumber resources of the Brit

Conditions with the woodworking plants amd factories rema

made no general or public statement as to their attitude. The Maye
told the employers’ that-he considered it too late in date for an
group of employers to refuse to deal with a union organization. —

. - General Survey of Lumber Field

The last issue of the “Labor Gazette,’ Ottawa; gives the follow-
ing summary 0! activities in the lumber line from Coast to Coast:

Charlottetown reported some slackening in lumbering activity
towards the end of May, but a large quantity of lumber was sawn
during the month. The saw and shingle mills in St. John and district
ran steadily. The lumbermen in Fredericton district had a successful
spring drive, with good prospects of bringing the entire cut to the
booms; saw mill workers were steadily employed. Bathurst reported
the drives progressing favorably with most of the smaller streams
cleaned up, but in some the logs were held up for want of water.
Round Quebec river driving was nearly completed, but few saw
mills had started operations at the close of the month, Sherbrooke
reported the drives continuing and great activity in the saw and
shingle mills. At Ottawa and Hull the saw mills were busy but the
burning of some lumber yards affected the local labor situation.
The two sawmills at Pembroke were very busy, more men being
required. Peterborough reported lumbermen very busy rafting and
river-driving, and the sawmills were already very busy. At Sault
Ste. Marie bush work was opening up again, and many men were re-
quired also for loading ties and pulp wood on cars. There was some
demand at Port Arthur for river drivers. Winnipeg reported some
falling off in the demand for lumbermen in Manitoba. Many of the
men who worked in the woods of northern Saskatchewan during win-
ter and spring found employment on farms. Edmonton reported a
demand for men for the mills in northern Alberta. At Fernie lumber-
ing activity was at its height, but prospects were stated to be some-
what unsettled owing to market conditions, some companies at this
point and also at Cranbrook, after running double shifts for two
months, having accumulated large stocks; it was expected, however,
that active conditions would be maintained until next fall; the post
and pole industry was rather slack. the prairie farmers, who are the
chief buyers of this product, being engaged on seeding. Nelson re-
_ ported the supply of common labor as fair, but skilled labor was
scarce and some overtime work was necessary. Vancouver and New
Westminster reported the saw and shingle mills working to capacity ;
‘loggers were well employed. Victoria and Nanaimo reported lum-
bering and milling operations active on Vancouver Island, but ham-
pered by shortage of shipping facilities; several new saw and shingle
mills started during the month.

Breezy Notes From the East

Since the recent conflagration in the New Brunswick woods other
forest fires were reported. One broke out on lands owned by the
Miramichi Lumber Company and the New Brunswick Railway Com-
pany, at the mouth of the Clearwater, Taxis River. This is said to
have been started by a farmer while clearing a section of his land.
Another fire was reported from Smith & Dalton’s mill at Rolling-
ham, Charlotte County. Fires were also reported on the Blue Bell
track and at Three Brooks, Tobique. Six prosecutions for setting
fires are to take place on the Tobique and three in Madawaska,
Hawkins sawmill on the Nashwaaksis had a narrow escape from
being burned down recently. In the dead of night the watchman
noticed a blaze among some sawdust inside the engine room and
around the outside of the furnace and he immediately sounded an
alarm. Fortunately the mill is supplied with good fire protection
and the blaze was extinguished before any great damage was done.

The formal transfer of the Dominion Company’s plant and pro-
perties to the Fraser Companies Limited took place a few days ago.
It is said that a cheque for between $1,000,000 and $1,250,000 was
handed over to the British interests. The Dominion mill is situ-
ated on the Miramichi river and is known as.an easy bleaching sul-
phite mill. It has a capacity of fifty tons a day. The timber limits
_ being transferred are largely areas under license from the Depart-
ment of Lands and Mines and consist of about 288 square miles of
Crown timber lands. However, it is believed that the source of sup-
ply for raw material, which the Frasers are depending on largely
for their new plant is the Miramichi portion of the 1,580,000 acres of
timber limits they are acquiring from the New Brunswick Railway
Company. The Dominion mill will be the second pulp plant oper-
ated by the Fraser Companies, their other being at Edmundston, which
has a capacity of 110 to 118 tons daily. They also operate ten band
saw lumber mills, most of which have shingle mills in connection.

Change Has Come Over Lumber Yard

Time was, not so long ago, when a retail lumber yard was a thing
of utility, indeed of necessity, but by no stretch, of the imagination
could it be called a thing of beauty, desirability or even “tolerabil-
ity’—if there is such a word—in the neighborhood one happened to
live in; says M. E. Bascom in the May edition of “Business.” People

snow. It was about the ugliest place in town, and with the exce
of a few school boys for whom it held a mysterious fascination, no
one ever went near it who could possibly help it. ay
But a change has come over the lumber yard. It has perked up
with a brand new, freshly-painted fence—green mostly—with a neat
clean, well-built office with display windows, sometimes w
gay flower boxes, and always with a cheery, clean, homelike

wood flooring, fancy doors and the like, and plans and pictures «

roof over them and a water-proof foundation under them. And a lot
of other things have come to pass which make the'retail yard at las =
a real asset to a community—actually a thing of beauty. ee
And what has brought this about? The answer is, as in so many
cases of industrial rejuyvenation—woman. en
If some years ago you had suggested to the lumberman that he
do something to make his yard attractive to women customers, he
would have laughed and spoken somewhat in this wise: “I suppose
you want me to tie pink and blue bows on my boards and put a
flower pot on each lumber pile? How about lace curtains at the —
office windows and some bead portieres strung up between the lum- —
ber piles? No, we don’t want no women coming around here. What
do women know about lumber, anyway?”

of Belting and Hose Makes Advisable
Some Changes in Brand Names

Example —GOODYEAR | igo" —sKlingtite™

HE most widely known belting in
Canada to-day is “Extra Power.”

Now you will buy this same belt-
ing as Goodyear Klingtite belting—

‘Klingtite’ — a name adaptable to

world-wide use.

RE RY te SE SS ee ee PO arte Oi
RL Se Er

In our Sales messages you will read of
Goodyear Klingtite instead of Good-
year Extra Power. .

Our belting men will talk to you of Goodyear
Klingtite instead of “ Extra Power.”

The familiar brand names of Goodyear belt-
ing, hose and packing have been changed so
that each of these products may be called by
the same name in Australia, Europe, South

_ Africa, India, Japan, China and other coun-

tries, as in Canada.

The new brand names are such that they can
be used and understood in practically every
language and country without change.

Some of the former names designed and re-
served for Canadian use do not lend them-
selves to the complication of languages and

| now

conditions prevailing in some of these foreign
countries.

Goodyear Belting, Hose and Packing, made in
Canada, have become products of world-wide
sales.

You will welcome the development of this
phase of our business because it means the
building up in Canada of another world-wide
manufactory. It means increased demand
and prosperity for Canadian workers. It
means economy and service for you.

Particularly to you, it means that efficient en-
gineers and factory superintendents the
world over endorse your choice when you se-
cure belting, hose and packing for your plant.

Phone, wire or write the nearest Goodyear |

branch for a man trained by Goodyear in
belting, hose and packing problems to call on
you. No obligation.

Kendall Gang Circular

The Machine that will convert your small logs into
more and better lumber, quicker than ever before.

The illustration shows one of the latest designs of gang circular patented by Mr.
I. N. Kendall, the well-known millwright, of Ottawa. This machine takes 16-26 in.
diam., 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; each 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 tu come out absolutely true to size from end to end, 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 machines

We have been manufacturing ‘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.

Careless Truck Buying

A steadily i increasing number of

she Duplex facts.

D o

Ԥ companies in the heavy duty fields say that the Duplex
el Drive is the only successful truck they ever owned.

ahr kind of work has proved too much for the ordinary truck

owners still seem to be using the wrong kind of trucks.

Are these trucks for sale because they
were not bought right?

There is something significant here
when you stop to analyze it.

Why is this tendency to satidoa ties
on Duplex so noticeable of late years?

The answer is very likely that trucks
are more and more being bought on the
business basis of service delivered and
what the. service costs over a period of
years.

This is a Time for Intelligent
Buying

A truck is just as much a piece of
business equipment as any other piece
of machinery. Its value is in what it

does and how cheaply it does it.

Transportation is a necessary part of
every business.

A truck gives a business man trans-
portation facilities—at a high or a low
price. Jt depends on the fitness of the
truck for ats job.

Now take a man who buys a truck for
his business without getting all the facts
first. Later he discovers that his truck
is not as economical. as it should be.
He sells it at a sacrifice and gets another
—andsoon. Finally he buys the truck
he should have selected the first time.

What is the result?

He pays too much for his transporta-
tion. His costs for trucking are not right.

You

Some.

The Duplex Users of Today Are
Probably the Most Intelligent
Buyers and Users of Trucks
in America

Think of this—ninety per cent of the
Duplex dealers have been distributing

Duplex Trucks ever since this company —

was first organized.

What does this signify? It shows for
one thing:that their customers have
found the Duplex Truck to be a suc-
cessful truck for them.

The great significance of all this is
that Duplex users stay Duplex users.
Many of them had tried out five or six
different makes of trucks before they
got their first Duplex.

The whole history of this business’

shows that when a man buys his first
Duplex it is only a little while until he
standardizes on Duplex.

Get the Facts for Yourself

We have hundreds of letters from
users in our offices that show some very

GASOLINE LOADERS |

These little 10 Horse Power machines will load any log up to a ton and a aupster
in weight. :

They will load logs at the rate of one thousand or more a rr

They weigh only about 1500 Ibs. without the Gasoline Engine, so are easily

about.
Their cost is trifling, compared with the saving they effect in man and horse power. :

They very quickly pay for themselves by reason of reduced operating costs and
greater speed and efficiency.

We make these machines in seven sizes, of which
The larger sizes will load heavier logs, and more in a day.

From our many years of experience
we evolved this “Dunbar” Original Lath
Machine. Every improvement that could
be suggested, every time-tested idea for
the betterment of product and for
greater speed, has been incorporated in
this machine. We believe it has no

mill men throughout Canada who share
this belief with us. Carefully constructed
of high grade materials and designed to
work steadily under the hardest condi-
tions,

Steam and Gasoline

Conditions in ‘Canada necessitate an

engine that will stand any amount of
strain and hard work in the lumber in-

dustry. With this idea in mind we have
brought out the “Dunbar” engines per-
haps a little stronger than is really
needed. They do their work easily and
willingly, and stand a great amount of
hard usage. Built entirely in Canada for
the Canadian lumber trade.

VIRGIN ORE

When Elias C. Atkins began making saws
’way back in 1857 he realized that no steel
manufacturer had at that time the correct
formula for making as high a grade of steel
as he determined to use in /us saws.

Being an expert metallurgist he prepared
his formula, which was based on Virgin Ore
This formula contained many important ele-
ments that stamped it as the best that had
ever been used. Experiments were carried
on day ‘by day and month after month, and
after a long interval success was achieved—
thus “Sterling Quality” saws were born.

This steel—Atkins exclusive formula—has
the quality of receiving a hard, tough tem-
per, stiff and firm; a quality that takes a
keen, sharp cutting edge—a quality as fine
as the material in high grade razors—that’s
“Sterling Quality” and it’s not too good for
Atkins Saws.

“Sterling Quality” Saws—made from Vir-
gin Ore—are known the world over, and the
constantly growing demand demonstrates
their quality.

Have you Atkms Saws?

QUESTION No. 10
Why is it

that so few users of bab-
bitt, give so little con-
sideration to the alloying
of the metal!
Content is, of course, an important
factor in the manufacture of a bab-
bitt, but surely no more so than the
alloying. For, a babbitt that is not
properly alloyed may lack homo-
geneity and be the cause of the bab-
‘bitt squashing or creeping out; or it
may contain hard-points that will
score the shaft.
In the manufacture of SYRACUSE BABBITTS we alloy
scientifically and with exacting care, assuring a babbitt abso-
lutely homogeneous and free from hard-points.
For your very severest requirements, such as in your gangs, you
should use

ALUMINUM GENUINE BABBITT

the babbitt of super-strength—the babbitt that has for years been
peer in the lumber industry. Write for a sample.

g Mills Everywhere

in Canada

In Canadian mills where quality and quantity are equally important, Waterous
Sawmill Equipment is used as a matter of course.

ty SAW MILL
MACHINERY

As an example, the Spanish Mills Lumber Co., of Cutler, Ont., are using two
Waterous 8 ft. New Model Bandmills for handling their daily cut of 125,000 feet
in ten hours. More than fifty other large Canadian mills have installed these
machines within the past five years.

One of them writes:

““We have sawed 20,000,000 feet this past season—our logs run
about 40 to the thousand—and have not broken or cracked a saw.’’

Only good equipment will show a record like this.

Remember, we build everything for the sawmill. Whether you are running
a portable outfit or are cutting 150,000 feet a day, Waterous Equipment is
the best for your work.

It Lasts Longer if ‘‘ Waterous-built.’’

Dear Sirs:—

Having had fifteen years’ experience as sawyer and used several
makes of feed works, I must say the feed purchased from you is the
easiest operated and without any special attention, giving excellent satis-
faction in every way.

I would not use any other, and I recommend your feed works to
any who are desirous of securing a feed that gives satisfaction.

We are sawing from 18 to 20 thousand feet per day, and are run-
ning 6%4 inch feed and 15 gig without any trouble whatever.

No Exploitation of Public Domain
rformance is preferable to promise. Practice is better than

n and promotion has always been crowded; the number who
take and carry out definite plans and implement pledges are
atively few.
s estimated that there are on the licensed Crown lands of
85,000,000 cords of pulpwood and on unlicensed Crown lands
0 cords, while on privately-owned property there are 25,-
ords, making the total wealth of the province 250,000,000
t only 145,000,000 cords are, according to the best
5, commercially accessible to existing transportation. This
be reduced by one-third after deductions are made for waste
8S s in logging and driving, for merchantable material left un-
etc. It is stated that in Ontario the cut in 1918 was 1,116,000
s, which include quantities consumed or manufactured in the
ace, as well as exported.
e ascending price of pulpwood, the bright future of the paper
and the large returns which are now being reaped by ali
es in this line, have resulted in various individuals and com-
s seeking to get concessions from the government and in return
themselves to carry out industrial enterprises. In Febru-
the Black Sturgeon River pulpwood limit in the district of
Bay, consisting of 1,000 square miles, was awarded by the
o Government to Sam Marks, of Nipigon, who agreed to pay
- cord for the wood in addition to the usual fees of 40c per cord
ice and 20c for other pulpwood. It is understood that this
ome time ago passed into the hands of J. J. Carrick, ex-M.P.P.,
Arthur, who in December, 1916, was granted the Thunder
ession consisting of 1400 square miles, his tender being at
each cord of pulpwood, plus the usual fees. The Spruce Falls
Paper C mpany was a year later successful in securing the

Kapuskasing River limit, which comprises 1740 square miles in the
districts of Temiskaming and Algoma, covering two blocks of land
north and south of the Transcontinental Railway. The bid was the
highest of any up to that time, a new policy being inaugurated. The
company agreed to pay a flat rate of 75c a cord on all kinds of pulp-
wood (in addition to the usual fees), while for red and white pine the
figure was $15 per M. feet. Messrs. Marks, Carrick and the Spruce
Falls Company were each to spend $1,000,000 within three years in
the erection of groundwood pulp plants, in order to convert the raw
material into the finished or semi-finished product and afford employ-
ment to many residents of northern portions of Ontario. Recent
events have demonstrated that the Spruce Falls Co., which was the
last concern to obtain pulpwood concessions from the provincial
authorities, means business and is proceeding at once with the erection
of a 150-ton pulp plant and a newsprint enterprise of equal capacity.
It is understood that extensions were granted Mr. Carrick from time
to time owing to complications regarding the hydro-power situation,
the control of water-falls, the exigencies created by the war amd other
causes. These have all passed away, the atmosphere has been cleared
and so far as can be learned not one dollar has been spent by him in
actual construction work.

There have been many reports emanating from Port Arthur that
big plants were to be constructed here and there and that Mr. Carrick
was behind them, but all the propositions have apparently got no
further than newspaper talk. Now another application is being made
to the provincial authorities by interests headed by E. W. Backus,
of the Fort Frances Pulp & Paper Co. In 1914 he was awarded the
Lake-of-the-Woods limit of 1,860 square miles, upon which a mill
was to have been erected according to the terms of the covenant.
Not one step has been put forth to build such a structure or carry out |
the conditions of the contract, yet on top of this Mr. Backus is apply-
ing to the Department of Lands & Mines for the English River
concession, consisting of 2,500 acres, in order that he may erect a
pulp and paper plant at Kenora. It is announced that the applica-
tion has not been granted and whether it will be or not, it is difficult |
to foretell. |

This brings up the whole question of men who have valuable
timber privileges from the Ontario government and agree to erect
large enterprises within a stated period of time to convert the pulp-
wood into the finished material, yet do nothing in this ‘direction
but hold their rights for speculative or promotion purposes. It is high
time that these agreements were rescinded and awards made to or-
ganizations who mean business and will assist in the industrial de-_
velopment of the north. The Drury government has an opportunity
to demonstrate its worth and determination by seeing that those who
have concessions are made to comply with the conditions. While
there may have been some contributing causes during the war for
delay or evasion of performance, these have now been removed and
th public domain should not be the nursery of stock-promotion or ©
get-rich-quick propositions. What Ontario needs—and what the
authorities at Queen’s Park should rigidly enforce—is that the long
projected mills to be erected by Mr. Carrick, Mr. Backus and others
should be constructed at once or the rights which these representa-
tives now hold should be annulled and the hundreds of square miles
of valuable pulpwood and other timber handed over to those who
will fulfill the conditions imposed. We need men who mean busi-
ness and have at heart the welfare and prosperity of the community,

more than their own individual interests or those of a few select
friends. The present is a time for action and performance, not bluff

or blather.

Work That Lacks Proper Appreciation

The Tenth Anniversary or Decennial Celebration of the Forest
Products Laboratory of the United States has just been observed
at Madison, Wis., by appropriate ceremony and delightful associa- —
tion. The programme carried out was extensive and called attention
to the work and worth of this institution which has made a name
for itself in industrial ranks and research circles all over the con-

tinent.
Lest someone should forget the fact, there is in Canada a Forest —

Products Laboratory, which is located in Montreal. It is well equipped ———‘It may sot the possible god r Ki

-mechanically, but the plant is lying idle at the present time owing to

many resignations that have taken place from the staff. The federal
authorities do not pay salaries sufficiently attractive to induce per-
manency of position. The result is that industrial concerns reaching
out for technically-trained men offer inducements to those associated
with the laboratories, which, in justice to themselves, the members
cannot decline.

To recall the number of thoroughly competent and talented men
who have left the institution during the past three or four years,
would only be revealing a “casualty list” so far as the record of the
Forest Products Laboratory is concerned. Various ways and means
have been suggested to overcome the present situation and make the
institution the force and factor that it was intended to be at its in-
ception. The work which has been carried on in timber mechanics,
wood preservation, timber physics, industrial investigation, labora-
tory operation, pulp and paper researches. etc., has been referred to
time and time again, and to dwell further upon these features would
be rehearsing a tale oft told.

The lumber industry and the pulp and paper industry are equal-
ly concerned in the maintenance and efficiency of the institution, and
unless it is properly manned and continuity of service assured—which

_ state of affairs can only be brought about by greater generosity and

appreciation on the part of the government—there is little doubt but
that matters will go from bad to worse. The timber age is coming,
not going, aS many suppose, and the supplies of wood resources
of -America are being used four times faster than they are being
grown or replaced. The work conducted by the Forest Products
Laboratory is how to make the most of the existing situation and
cause the present supply to last longer.

The elimination or utiliation of waste is only one phase of the
great work that is being carried out. Ample funds must be provided
in order that the best results may be secured. As long as there is

a procession of trained and talented men in and_out of the laboratory
* to take more remunerative posts with progressive industrial concerns,

so long will the work at Montreal suffer.

The whole plan is too valuable and important to go on as it

has for some years now. It is a time for action. During the few years

that the laboratory has been in existence it has done splendid work
and revealed improved methods and processes for the better utiliza-
tion of forest products and for the direct assistance of industries con-

cerned. The operations carried on at Madison have been, to a certain:

extent, paralleled in Montreal, and, while different phases have re-
ceived attention, there is, probably, no activity which has been of
greater significance than the investigations and experiments having
to do with pulp and paper. These include a study of processes in the
manufacture of paper pulp, the suitability of various woods for the
manufacture of wood ‘pulp. utilization of by-products and wastes, and

extension of the use of wood pulp. The importance of utilizing waste

from lumbering and milling operations is more apparent when it is
realized that at present this waste amounts to more than the total
wood requirements of the pulp and paper industry,

es ‘he railway companies’ representatives present included G.

onell, Assistant Freight Traffic Manager of the C.P.R.; F. ‘i

of Weighing, I.C.R., and others.

most important matter discussed was the application of the

rnish weighing particulars, the company shall be permitted to col-

ilway respresentatives expressed their opposition to this pro-
basing it chiefly upon the belief that it would be contrary. to
press terms of the Railway Act. which requires that the rail-
companies must charge for the full weight carried. This objec;
1 did not impress the lumbermen to any extent and the railway
esentatives directed the balance of their discussion to a consid-
1 of conditions now prevailing in connection with the opera-
eigh scales. They stated that they were doing everything

The use of estimated weights was clearly shown in this case to in-
volve a serious loss to the shipper. ;

The upshot of the discussion on this point was that the two
parties were not able to reach a mutually satisfactory agreeent, and
it was passed over without the lumbermen announcing either ap-
proval or disapproval of the railway company’s desire. to let matters
remain as they are in the hope that they may be able to improve the
situation.

Question of Estimated Weights

The conference then took up the question of estimated weights.
The weights, as published in tariff No. 14 of the C. F. A.. were gone
over one at a time. In connection with hardwoods an agreement was
reached that the weights to be used for dry lumber should be as fol-
lows:

The weights for the other hardwoods were agreed upon as those
in use by the National Hardwood Lumber Association.

In connection. with softwoods the lumbermen suggested the
weights which they believed would be most in accordance with actual
conditions. The railway representatives stated that they would. con-
tinue their investigations into softwood weights and, when completed,
would advise the lumbermen of the results, with a view to continu-
ing the conference at a later date and drawing up a complete list.

New Position for Major Seaman

The Forest Products Labora-
tories of Canada, Montreal, will
lose, in August, the services of
Major L. N. Seaman, at presen
Chief of the Division of Timber
Tests, who has accepted the post
of timber testing expert with the
Forest Research Institute, Dehra
Dun, United Provinces, India.
This institute, finding a property
>f 45 acres_too small, has procur-
ed a new property of 1,300 acres,
and is erecting new buildings,
and has secured the services of
Major Seaman to organize and
take charge of the timber testing
laboratory which is to form part
of the new establishment.

L. N. Seaman studied engineer-
Bing at Acadia University and the
Nova Scotia Technical College
obtaining the degree of M. A.
and B. Sc. and is an associate
member of the Engineering In-

Major L. N. Seaman, Montreal
stitute of. Canada. He entered the service of the Forest Products

Laboratories of Canada in 1914 as Assistant Chief of the Division of
Timber Tests.and co-operated with Mr. R. W. Sterns. B.Sc., then
Chief of the Division of Timber Tests, in its organization and in the
inauguration of the first comprehensive work in testing native tim-
bers to be undertaken in Canada. His work at the Laboratories was
interrupted during the war by active military service as a Captain
in the Canadian Artillery, and later as a Major in the English Heavy
Artillery.

After the war Major Seaman returned to his former position,
and was shortly promoted to be Chief of the Division of Timber
Tests, succeeding Mr. Sterns, who accepted a post with the Abitibi
Power and Paper Company.

Up to the present time timber testing at these Laboratories has
covered the mechanical and physical properties of ten species of
Canadian timbers, while two additional species have been tested at
their Vancouver branch. In addition to this, special tests have been
made of Nova Scotia mine timbers and of substitutes for black

walnut as gun stocks.

Latest Decree on Federal Sales Tax.

Retail Lumber Dealer Selling Material Which Has Not
Gone Through His Planing Mill Adds No Levy

‘Mr. Frank Hawkins, secretary of the Canadian Lumbermen’s A3-
sociation, Ottawa, has sent out the following clear exposition of the

“new federal sales tax as it applies to the retail lumber dealer. The

context follows and virtually means that the retail lumberman does
not collect a tax on any product sold in his line—no matter to whom
—except such material as passes through his planing mill.

At the meeting of the Board of Commissioners of the Depart-
ment of Inland Revenue and Customs, held in Ottawa, a deputation
consisting of: Mr. J. R. K. Bristol of the Canadian Manufacturers’
Association ; Mr. E. M. Barrett, Vice-President of the Ontario Retail
Lumber Dealers’ Association ; Mr, J. Clark Reilly, Secretary of the
Association of Canadian Building and Construction Industries; Mr.
W. W. Humphreys of W. C. Edwards & Co., Ltd.; Mr. Charles
Robertson, Manager of the Retail Department of W. C. Edwards &
Co. Ltd., Mr. Mayno Davis of McAuliffe Davis Lumber: Co., Ltd.;
Mr. Alex. Rose of the James Davidson’s Sons Co., and Frank Hawk-
ins, secretary of the Canadian Lumbermen’s Association, presented
the difficulties of the Board which have arisen in connection with
the application of the rules of the Board of the Sales Tax recently
passed by Parliament, particularly as it effects the retail lumber deal-
er.

The decision of the Board is that lumber in the possession of a
retail dealer which is further manufactured or processed by him in
any way must have 2 per cent. added to the total value of such com-
modity. In all other cases where the retailer disposes of his stock
in exactly the same shape in which he received it, whether sold to a
contractor or consumer there is no further tax to be added on his in-
voice.

It is realized by the Commission that this decision creates ine-
qualities and they indicate that the matter will receive the most care-
ful consideration looking towards an amendment of the Act, which
would be necessary. In the meantime, however,, the Act must be
administered in accordance with the above decision.

-It is proposed to issue licenses for manufacturers, wholesalers,

-and possibly retailers, within the near future, but it is urged upon you

in the event of uncertainty that you should consult the nearest collec-
tor of Inland Revenue for instructions how to proceed.

The Rules as They Stand
For your fuller information we append repetition of rules up io
the present time:

(1) Where a manufacturer of lumber sells to a whole-
saler or a jobber the tax to be added is 1%,

(2) Where a manufacturer sells to a retailer, lumber
in the rough or further processed, the tax to be added is 2%.

(3) Where a wholesaler sells to another wholesaler,
jobber or retailer the tax to be added is 1%.

(4) Where a retailer: operates machinery for the ri
ther processing of lumber, he is regarded as a manufacturer
to this extent, and on all such work must add a tax to his in-
voices of 2%. In all other cases, that is, where a retailer sells
any portion of his stock in exactly the same condition as he
received it, whether sold to a contractor or a consumer, no
further tax is to be added.

(5) Where a manufacturer sells direct to a railway
company or a similar organization, which buys lumber not
for its own use in construction purposes the tax to be added
is 2%,

(6) A wholesaler selling to a jp company must add
a tax of 1%.

Secretary Boultbee of the Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers Associ-
ation, Toronto, has also sent out information to the members of that
body on much the same lines.

British Merchants and Single Buyer

The high cost of timber in this country is due to the exorbitant
prices demanded; by the Scandinavian exporters. British timber
merchants are now debating what action they shall take to obtain
cheaper supplies from abroad. Timber has increased in price so
greatly since the war ended that our importers are hesitating over
making further purchases, says the London, Eng., “Daily Mail.”

In 1914 Swedish deals and battens were obtainable f.o.b. at
about £11 10s. per standard of 165 cubic feet for deals and £9 10s.
per standard for battens. When all purchasing was done by the
Government buyer timber rosé to about double these prices. Since
the Government buying ceased deals have risen to about £42 and
battens to about £32 per standard f,o.b. These rates do not satisfy

The Permanence of Creosoted Ph

Many lumber dealers have asked us for concrete exam
where creosoted posts have withstood the test of time, says =
Bell Bulletin, which recently contained a photograph of a creos
fence erected in the plant of the Old Dominion Creosoting. Comp
at Money Point, Va., one of the pioneer commercial tri
in the United States. The posts were treated with creosote —
year 1882, and the boards treated in 1895. The posts and fencin
boards are pine and are perfectly sound. This illustrates the
fectiveness of material properly treated. ee

All of us are fully aware that creosoted fence posts have
used in European countries for many years; however, it is p
cally a new venture in America. While large users of poles.
and timbers in the United States have been buying creoso
terials for upwards of forty years, no organization has attempte:
fulfill the demand of the farmers in our country with decay pro
fence posts, until our company, after years of research- and exper
menting, and gathering of data in Europe and America, installed hug

ments and repairs necessary every so often when ordinary fen 1c
are used.

Every phase of the production of treated posts, from ]
forests to the creosoting plants, and from the creosoting pl
distributor and user, has only one feature as the goal—the ie
satisfaction of the purchaser and the consumer.

It is estimated that it costs on an average of $75.00 per f ir
year to replace broken and decayed fence posts. By prevent
cay, this expense can be saved and the use of creosoted yellc
posts will enable farmers to keep this money in the bank.

Aside from the practical value of permanent construction on
farm, there is added value of good looks; an asset of the first
ance. In the old days it was merely a question of putting |
kind. of a structure—any kind of a fence. To-day, ways and m
are changing. This change has been in progress for a numb
years; the old is making way for new and better methods, a fac
ply proved by the wider realization on the part of the aac
Lg of building for the future.

LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

A group portrait of the happy company at the Lumbermen’s Picnic held at Grimsby Park. The picture is taken in front of the hotel and the central
figure in the gathering (just to the left of the big sign) is Mr. Fred H. Big wood, of Toronto, who won the prize for being the best-looking man on the

grounds.

He is surrounded by a dozen or more female admirers.

Wholesale Lumbermen Gather at Grimsby

First Annual Outing Favored with Fine Weather and Jolly Crowd—Baseball and
Other Attractions— Prizes Awarded in Various Events of Interest

The first annual “icnic of the Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ As-
sociation of Toronto, to beautiful Grimsby Beach is now recorded
among the outstanding occurrences of 1920. So successful was the
event that it has practically been decided to make it an annual insti-
tution. Everything passed off with a swing and rhythm, the weather
being charming, the associations delightful and the various events
catried out with an enthusiasm and heartiness that aroused even the
most lethargic excursionists. The steamer “Macassa” carried-a jolly
crowd from Toronto, while others, who were unable to take the boat,
motored to the park from Hamilton, Woodstock, Oakville, Toronto
and other points. Among the lumbermen, who are prominent sum-
mer residents at this widely-known resort, are A. E. Clark, (former
chairman of the Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association), A. K.
Johnson, Toronto, C. M. Wells, Paris, Ont., and others.

The first episode of the day was a baseball match between the

dispensers of wood products living east of Yonge St. and those re-
siding west of that commercial artery, including the representatives
from Hamilton. Many traditions and records were broken in the
titanic struggle. In the first place there were about twenty-five men
playing on each side—the regulation infield and outfield being so
thickly studded with living pedestals that any hit, which went out-
side the diamond, could not possibly land on the ground owing tc
the forest of hands reared to gather in the ball. Duke Johnston, of
the Union Lumber Co., did the twirling for the easterners in regal
style. Guy H. Long, of Hamilton, was in the box for the western-
ers. The receivers for the eastern and western contingents were:
K. M. Brown, of the Vancouver Lumber Co., Toronto, and Bert
Harper, of the Long Lumber Co., Hamilton. C. Schmidt, of the R.
Laidlaw Lumber Co., Toronto, was the impartial umpire, and J. B.
Jarvis, of Elgie & Jarvis, Toronto, the official tally-keeper. Every-
body joined in the fray except three distinguished spectators, who
had a seat on the grandstand, in the persons of Hugh A. Rose, J. P.
Johnson and Frederick Scherbarth. At the end of the ninth, the
score stood 11 to 7 in favor of Duke’s disciples or the easterners,
then an adjournment was made to the Park House for lunch.

Nearly one hundred sat down to an admirably-arranged repast
at which A. E. Clark presided and D. C. Johnston was master of
ceremonies. Any man seated next to his wife at the festive board,
any two members of the same firm who were’ together, or anyone
coming in late, etc., like W. C. Gall, were all “fined,” and the various
offenders paid with alacrity. Mr. Clark formly. welcomed the visit-
ors to the park and hoped that they would spend a pleasant day.
There were various pastimes in which all could engage and he was

‘naturally gratified to see so many present. While this was the first

picnic of the Wholesale Lumbermen Dealers’ Association, he trust-
ed that it would not be the last. He extolled the beauties of Grimsby

as a summer resort and the exceptional facilities that it afforded for
passing a splendid holiday. .

W. C. Wilkinson, for nearly fifty years secretary of the Board
__ ..of Education, Toronto, and father_of C.. W. Wilkinson, (managing
— ‘director of the*Union Lumber Co., Toronto), was introduced as

one of the “oldest and most honored residents of the park.” Mr.
Wilkinson gave a brief history of the early days of. Grimsby Beach
when the Canadian Chatauqua used to be held within its precincts.
On the occasions of visits from noted orators like Rev. Dr. Talmage,
Sam Jones and others, as many as seven thousand people would as-

‘ronto).

semble and hang with breathless interest on their eloquent deliver-
ies. Mr. Wilkinson added that the summer colony at Grimsby was
growing rapidly, new cottages were being erected and the attractive-
ness of the famous watering place was never as great as today.
Loren L..Brown, of Vancouver, the new B. C. Lumber Com-
missioner for Eastern Canada, was introduced to the gathering by
the chairman, and received a cordial welcome. ;

The proceedings were further enlivened by several contests, the
most outstanding of which was, perhaps the winning of a silk neck-
tie by Fred. H. Bigwood, of the Canadian General Lumber Co., who
was awarded the premium of being the “best-looking’ man in the
comnany.” The judge was Mrs. A. E. Clark, and the verdict was
heartily acclaimed. The chairman, Mr. Clark, was barred from the
competition by reason of his official position as presiding officer. Mr.
Bigwood smilingly accepted the decision and was compelled to mount
a chair in graceful acknowledgment of the distinction.

For having the largest family, en block, on the grounds, the prize
went to J. F. Wachter (who is associated with R. G. Chesbro, To-
The referee was C. W. Wilkinson. The premium for the
best-looking family on the grounds was awarded to R. B. Young,
(with the Fesserton Timber Co., Voronto) and houshold, the award
being a pair of white silk gloves. H. Boultbee, secretary of the
Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association, had to perform the delicate
task of rendering judgment.

The Proceedings of the Afternoon

At the close. of these contests, which formed an enjoyable
feature of the noon-hour, the party assembled in front of the hotel
and was photographed in a group, Mr. F. H. Bigwocd being the cen-
tral figure. During the afternoon a number of the boys played base-
ball for a couple of hours while others engaged in tennis or took
part in their first game of lawn-bowling, the new green being in ex-
cellent shape.

which was destroyed by fire a year ago, the residents of the park have
now admirable lawn tennis courts and a bowling green capable of
accommodating eight rinks. The residence of A. E. Clark is the first
one east of the tennis grounds and occupies what may regard as
the most commanding view of any house at the beach. Such
diversions as the mechanical horse races, bowling alleys, roller coast-
er and other mid-way devices took up the rest of the day. A number
remained over in the evening to attend the dance given by Grimsby
Béach Women’s Improvement Society.

Dinner was served at 6 o’clock at the Park House and brief
happy speeches were made by A. C. Manbert, chairman of the Whole-
sale Lumber Dealers’ Association, who was prevented from attend-
ing in the morning. Mr. Manbert referred to the success and en-
joyment of the first annual outing and thanked the members of the

whole heart into the undertaking and deserved the appreciation of all.
The gratitude of the company was also due to Mr. and Mrs. A. E.
Clark for their splendid welcome and the excellent arrangements

In responding, Mr. Clark voiced the satisfaction which it afford-

thanks was also tendered Mr. and Mrs. Brunt, of the Park House, —

for the splendid manner in which they looked after the comfort of
the guests.

At 7.30 o’clock the steamer “Macassa” left for Toronto, and
shortly after 10 o’clock the tired but thoroughly satisfied picnickers
arrived home, all expressing the opinion that the initial annual pic-
nic of the wholesalers had been a success and its memories would
live long in the minds of those fortunate enough to be present. The
slogan of, the day was, “Hope you had a good time and will be with
us again.”

News and Jottings of the Picnic
The fat man’s race did not materialize owing to lack of time but

had the event been pulled off, A. C. Manbert, Horace Boultbee, W.
C. Gall and Alf. Clark were barred.

¢

Some of the new exponents of lawn bowling were so delighted ~

with their experience that they are thinking of laying off selling

lumber for a couple of months and engaging exclusively in this —

pastime.

Don Barclay and his associates on the picnic committee, D. C.
Johnston and A. K. Johnson, worked diligently for the success of
the outing.

A wholesaler in western Ontario, in writing the “Canada Lum-
berman,” refers particularly to the success of the recent picnic at
Grimsby and remarks: “This appears to me to be one of the finest
outings not only physically, but socially, and it seems remarkable
that so many different concerns engaged in the same line of business
can get together and enjoy one another’s company, as was done at
Grimsby. It speaks well for the future of the Lumber Dealers’ As-
sociation and the lumber trade in general.”

There was a wholesaler present from Woodstock who was on
the side of the western contingent in the ball game.

“What position do you play?” asked a certain “Guy” who pitched,
and the man shot back “Well, I Can-field.”

“Duke” Johnston of the Picnic Committee proved to be a whirl-
wind of a ticket seller. He spent a whole afternoon on the job the
day previous and actually disposed of one pasteboard.

Another item which had aroused some interest was the swim-
ming, and the populace were invited to come down and see some of
the boys dressed on four sides (d.4s.)

The Close Utilization of Timber

The emphasizing of the wasteful lumbering methods of the past
is of little service unless the practicability of better measures can be
shown. Where commercial methods are being used they should be
given full recognition by all conservationists, and given earnest con-
sideration by operators, says A. V. Gilbert.

An instance of close utilization is evidenced on the limits of a
company operating in a modest way in the Parry Sound district.
This company secured a block of timber, consisting of mixed hard-
woods and conifers, situated near the mill of another company. The
first mentioned company let out its woods operations to a sub-con-
tractor and is proceeding to log the area very cleanly.

The thoroughness of the operations is shown in the disposal of
the products. The softwood logs go to the neighboring mill; the
hemlock ties (hewn) to the railway company; the spruce and balsam
pulpwood to a pulp mill at a considerable distance; the basswood
logs, as also any good balm-of-gilead logs, go to New Jersey for
match stock; the birch logs go to Montreal for export to Europe,
for use as veneer, and the other hardwoods, including white oak, ash
and elm are also disposed of. In addition, cedar poles are taken out,
the hemlock bark is shipped to tanneries near Toronto, and hard-
wood waste is used as fuel in its camps. This operation, therefore.
may be said to represent the maximum of close utilization. This
timber license, of course, is close to a railway, but there must be
many opportunities for other such intensive operations throughout
Ontario. ;

Close utilization is also adopted by some of the chemical com-
panies. They operate sawmills in conjunction with their wood dis-
tillation plants, and have logging railways, one of which is 13 miles
long. They saw both softwoods and hardwoods into lumber, car-
bonize smaller hardwoods for chemicals, and use inferior cordwood
and slabs from the mill for fuel to heat their ovens. One company
at least is about to experiment with the carbonizing of hardwood
slabs.
These examples include the logging of hardwoods, which is ne-
cessary to solve present forestry problems. It seems probable that
more companies could be operating logging railways and removing
hardwoods, when the present prices of finished products are consid-
ered. If logging railways are not feasible further experiments with
driving hardwood logs might be carried out. Many companies have
already succeessfully driven hardwoods for short distances, after
leaving the logs in the bush for a year to dry out.

the North is rapidly coming to its own. It has long been the
of busy sawmills and lumbering and logging activities. When
sources of timber recede the mills naturally go farther back in
to secure adequate supplies. In New Ontario and along the

Wants More Pulpwood Concessions

The Lake of the Woods Pulp & Paper Co., at the head of which, —

is E. W. Backus, intend erecting a pulp plant and later on a news- —
print mill at Kenora. The town has granted certain waterpower con- = |
cessions to the company, and it is expected that work on the new —
undertaking will be proceeded with in the near future. Peter Heen- —
an, Labor M. P. P. of Kenora, was in Toronto recently, with the
request for certain waterpower concessions for the company. The
Hydro-Electric Power Commission must give its permission before —
the request for these concessions can be granted. Mr. Heenan said
that the new concern would dispose of at least 15 per cent. of its pro-
duct in Canada. Mr. Backus, in order to further the interests of the
new concern, has made application to the Ontario Government. for
an additional pulpwood concession of nearly 2,500 square miles, and~_
also the waterpower rights on the White Dog Falls. This application
is being opposed by the publishers of Ontario daily newspapers who
contend that, as Mr. Backus’ mill at Fort Frances refuses to sell any

newsprint in foreign countries. he should not receive further favors
until he changes his personal attitude and the policy of his com- —
pany. It seems that Mr. Backus has made a pledge to the Ontario ©
Government that if the additional pulpwood limits and waterpower
rates are granted for his newsprint mill at Kenora, he will supply his — ;
proportion of the domestic newsprint requirement. This, however, is —
not satisfactory to the Ontario publishers and it is not known yet
how the issue will eventuate .

Board Mills are Much Rushed

The Canadian Paper Board Co. was recently incorporated witha
capital stock of $5,000,000. This will be the new name of the Canada
Boxboard Co. and.it is understood that all the plants of the organi-
zation will be greatly extended as well as a new mill erected in the ©
not far distant future, A new pulp plant is now nearing completion —
at Frankford, in Hastings County, which is equipped with four grind-
ers and four wet machines, and will turn out 25 tons of mechanical )
pulp daily, which will be used at the various units of the company. _
It is understood another machine will be added to the Frankford mill, —
which will increase the capacity to 60 tons of board per day. J. G.
G. Kerry of Toronto, is the president of the company, and David F.
Robertson, of Montreal, general manager. Toronto is likely to have
a board mill within its midst, which will be constructed by the com-
pany who have for some time been looking at various sites on the
waterfront. ie

Recently the Canadian Paper Board Co. bought the McDougall
site next to its plant at Montreal, with a view to making exten-
sions when needed. The board market is decidedly active at the pre-
sent time and the company produces various lines in the way of
strawboard, chipboard, vatlined board, filled-wood board, patent-coat-

ed manilla board and patent-coated newsboard. coat
It is interesting to note that, at last, the big pulp and paper pro-
ject at Kapuskasing, which has been in the air for some time, is
about to materialize and work will be gone on with at once. The —
Kimberly-Clark Co. of Neenah, Wis., who operate a number of ||
plants in the West and are a widely-known and well-established firm, a)
have become financially concerned in the project and acquired con- —
siderable stock. , 7 ce
It appears the shareholders in the Spruce Falls Pulp & Paper
Co. were given the option to sell out their stock for cash, accept stock Cs
in the new company, or take part stock and part cash. During the
past few days officials of the Kimberly-Clarke company were in
Toronto, conferring with Premier Drury and the Department of —
Lands and Forests, with a view to coming to a proper understand-
ing so far as proceeding with the work is concerned. All obstacles
have been cleared away and contracts awarded for construction.

capital ‘stock is $7,000,000. -F. J. Sensenbrenner of the Kinbarle
Clark Co. is president of the organization, and J. C. Kimberly, of

Neenah, Wis., secretary. S. A. Mundy, of Bradford, Pa., former
president of the old company, is the vice-president of the new con-
cern. and E. Stewart, of Toronto, who is vice-president of the old
company, has been made a director, being the only Canadian on the
3oard. Several waterpowers along the Kapuskasing River will be
developed at once, and there is an ample supply of electric energy
for many years to come. The company will erect a sawmill to get
out the timber for their plants and will carry on extensive pulpwood
operations this fall and winter. The site of the new mill is just
where the Transcontinental Railway -crosses*the Kapuskasing River,
and it is believed that no better selection of a location could be
thade. The surrounding territory is heavily timbered and the settl-
ers will welcome the addition of the pulp mill, which will afford
them a ready outlet for their pulwood. Kapuskasing i is the scene of
the Soldier Colonization Scheme, regarding which so much was
heard at the recent inquiry.

Unusual Activity in Pulpwood

Three years ago the Spruce Falls Pulp and Paper Co, were award-
ed the Kapuskasing pulpwood concession of 1,740 square miles at the
flat rate of 75c per cord, for all kinds of pulpwood, plus the usual

- government levies of 40 cents a cord for spruce and 20 cents a cord

for other pulpwood. The Ontario Government recently raised these
dues to 80 cents a cord for spruce and 40c for balsam and other pulp-
wood. This, however, is not looked upon as a very serious barrier

by any of the pulp and paper companies up north, owing to the fact

that .peeled.spruce wood and balsam is now commanding from $18.00
to $20. 00 per cord, f.o.b. cars, and poplar from $13.00 to $14.00. These
prices are contracted ones and have resulted in a larger number
of settlers than ever going into the pulpwood business on a gigantic
scale.

Definite Names for Each Grade of Lumber!
Editor, Canada Lumberman :—
‘With reference to Mr. Haney’s article in a recent issue of the

“Canada Lumberman” on standardizing grades, I wish to say that

I have known Mr. Haney by reputation for a number of years. I

believe he can give you some valuable information on the subject

as he understands thoroughly what is required by the trade.
However, I am.of the opinion that Mr. Haney’s letter is more

from the point of view of the middleman than the wholesa'‘er or

mill owner. As the names of grades in the different markets are
based on the way the mill owner puts up his lumber in the yard, my
idea would be to arrive at a definite name for those grades and then
the middleman could order any certain grade for his ‘particular trade

-and have it sorted from the grades as they are put up in the yard.

Most mills have a capacity of from twenty to thirty-five grades
on their, boardways, and, consequently. could not put up all the

grades mentioned by Mr. Haney. For instance, a mill owner might
be mnaking all his good sides 2 in. and his 1, 2 and 3 cuts 1% in.

and his common or mill run 1% and 1 and 2 culls 1 in.
Nor for these grades only he would require space on his board-
way -as follows :—

Zo x 8? & up 10/16 - Good Sides

2°) x44 «&eup” 10/16 . 1-2:& 3. Cuts :
2 x 4 & up 6/9 Good Shorts

You will see that by cutting only one thickness in mill run or
common, and two other thicknesses in the upper grades and culls,
that it would be necessary to have space for nineteen grades on the
boardway and nineteen pile bottoms to start these grades in the yard.
Where there is more than one kind of equipment in the mill for turn-
ing out lumber, the logs are generally sorted, and one kind of equip-
ment is cutting one thickness while the other may be cutting some-
thing else which would require still more boardway space.

_Every up-to-date mill tries to cut to grade in the mill as much

and in that period the Safety League and the various org ar
co-operating plan a drive against unnecessary, accidents

It has been clearly shown by past experience that a reducti
in fatal and non-fatal accidents can be made by teaching the p
to “Think Safety.” Similar campaigns in other cities have b
great success, the most notable being that in St. re
accidents were reduced from 24 in the same week of ?p
year to one in “Safety Week.” Cleveland cut its fatalities from :
the same week of the previous week to six in “Safety Week,” anc
Pittsburg showed a reduction from 28 to 16. The a Rreaee -om-
‘munity of lives saved cannot be estimated. ‘s

Sub-committees of the Safety League will cover such st as

_ publicity ,bulletins, motion pictures, schools for industrial safety, s sta
tistics, boy scouts. women, traffic, school and colleges, etc.,-ete.
various days of the week have been specially designated: S ,
Sunday, with special sermons in the churches; Monday ic: Cor eful
Day for Motorists; Tuesday will be Careful ‘Day for ‘Street I
Men; Wednesday is set aside for School Safety; ‘Thursday _will b ye
At Home Day for Safety; Friday is to be called Careful Dagia tips -

During Toronto’s “Safety Week” the various committees Sf
teach acc:dent and fire prevention to every man, woman and oe
in a spectacular educational campaign, in which various eee
licity will be used. The public will be reached by Per ;
bulletins, bill boards, street car cards, letters, adverti

CANADA LUMBERMAN

Large Wood

_A new creosoting: plant is being erected by the Canada Creosot-
@ Co. at Sudbury, Ont., and good progress is being made in con-
fuction work. In 1912 the Canada Creosoting Co. established a
at Trenton, Ont., with an annual cavacity of about a million
half of treated railway ties.

he new undertaking at Sudbury will be in operation in July
ind will give steady employment to about 200 men. The loca-
‘is between Sudbury and Copper Cliff on the Soo branch of
Cc. P. R. The industry will be larger than the one at Trenton
d will have an output of two million ties a year, all of which will
used by the C. P. R. The buildings will be 175 ft. long and
t. wide, constructed entirely of brick. . There will be two huge
ndrical retorts each 150 ft. long, and 7 ft. diameter, inside meas-
ment. There are yard facilities for 2,094,000 ties, which is over
ble the storage accommodation of the yard at Trenton. The
d office of the Canada Creosoting Co. is at 1006 C. P. R. Build-
Toronto, Mr. R. V. Look being the president of the company
d W. E. Doan, secretary. The principal kind of ties treated are
ech, birch and maple and jack pine.

' Canadian railways are every year using more creosoted ties,
ich treatment, it is estimated, adds from four to five times to
durability of the timber. It may be asked why so many sleepers
ergo preservative treatment at the present time, and the an-
er is not difficult to furnish. Wood is becoming increasing'y
uable as those who have to purchase lumber and building ma-
jals realize. In the days before the war, an ordinary tie was
t down and lasted for four or six years and the work of replac-
“ing it was not costly. Labor was cheap and so were ties. To-day

“all kinds of timber have gone u» tremendously and hardwood and
softwood ties sell for from five to six times what they brought
‘decade ago. Then a tie could be taken u> and a new one sub-
ituted for about 15c. Now it is said that labor costs average
mething like 60c apiece. Not only is creosoting being resorted
to conserve the tmber but the less track disturbance and delays
_ there are in the operation of replacement, the more traffic there can
_ be handled.

eae erty. Millions of Ties Used Annual’y

One of the greatest developments of modern times is the in-
asing use of hardwood ties, which is engaging the atten-
ion of the transportation authorities for a long time. There are
sed in Canada some 20,000,000 ties a year on the 40,000 miles of
ailway, and the way in which the development of the industry has
roceeded, was referred to at considerable length in a recent edi-
on of the “Canada Lumberman.”

“It is now the aim and object of companies to preserve the strength,
and service of ties as long as possible, and anything that will
end ta reduce the expense of renewing railway timbers, is being
eartily welcomed. The railways in putting down ties now use
; tie plates, which are spiked to the ties, with the rails set in place.
_ This is much easier on the timber and causes less expenditure for
renewing sleepers.

Recently the Ontario Government doubled the Crown dues on
s and the fee is now 10c instead of 5. In a recent address in To-
ito, Hon. Beniah Bowman stated that legislation might be intro-
sed at the next session of the Ontario Legislature to the effect
t all ties must be sawn and not hewed; in other words, the pole
would pass out of business and the squared tie come into ex-
sive possession of the-field. Fully 25 per cent. of the ties taken
n the eastern part of Canada are hewn. If the provincial regu-
ons called for the squared or sawn tie, it would materially cut
wn production. It is not always easy for the small operator, who
sires to take out a limited number, to avail himself of a sawmill
establish a portable mill on his. permises.’ Some men are very
t with the axe and can take out many ties a day, being clever
h to hew up to 100, while the average runs from 30 to 50.
‘e are several tie operators in Ontario, one firm alone taking
200,000 ties, fully 20 per cent. of these being hewn. It is diffi-
‘now to secure sufficient ties for all railroad requirements, and

rigid regulation was enacted eliminating the hewn tie, a large

rtion of the supply would be shut off. ; a ge
_ ‘tke industry is growing more and more in importance and
ch year more ‘settlers derive a revenue from cutting ties. It,
ely, cannot be the intention of the Ontario Department. to insist

that all those who take out a few hundred or few thousand ties
should convey or drive them to a sawmill in order to have them
sawn. Whatever changes may be inaugurated by the officials of
Lands and Forests branch, in the interests of the great prosperity
of the rural sections of the country, there should be no interference
with the way ties are produced, so long as they give satisfaction to
the purchasers and render good service. All classes join in the work,
such as sawmill operators, portable millmen, jobbers, settlers and
contractors.

The Canadian Tie & Lumber Company, of Toronto, are extend-
ing their operations and have recently added to their staff of buyers.
They now are handling considerably over 2,000,000 ties annually.

‘ Other companies also handle growing quantities. Shipments to vari-

ous points during the past few weeks in spite of the scarcity of cars,
have been exceptionally heavy.

One of the greatest developments of the time is the expansion
of the treating plants. Creosoting is not only now applied to rail-

2 i Paes or

Ties dumped off dock or barge at Baptiste Lake, Ont., and loaded on cars
by means of chain conveyor

way ties, but to many other lines of wood products. The Canada
Creosoting Co. reports that it is extended to fence posts of white
birch, jack pine and hardwoods. Other woods, which are treated
at the plant in Trenton, are,—paving blocks, bridge timbers, tele-
graph and telephone poles, posts, piling, cross-arms, etc.

As an aggressive and scientific forestry policy is being adopted
and developed by governments and various lumbering and pulp and
paper companies to conserve and renew the wooded wealth of the
Dominion, so, too, Canadians at the present day are learning to take
better care of the timber which they possess. Anything: that ‘tends
to lengthen its life, adds much to conserve the present resources of
the Dominion, reduces the expense of operation and maintenance of
railways and other enterprises and produces national thrift in the
provagation of the forest products.

No One Must Tamper with Trees

Winnipeg has passed special ordinances to protect trees, - It has
an offense other than authorized officials to tamper with them. Resi-
dential sections of Winnipeg are gradually becoming park-like
stretches shaded by large trees. The city records show that 110,000
trees have been planted within the city limits, including the parks.
Of this number 75,000 are on the streets. The parks board, which
has jurisdiction over the boulevards, has planted 28,000 trees aléng

ae
: ~ Building in the country districts has been held back for a number
of months, partly because the public has an idea that the cost of con-
striction work and materials is inordinately high, and partly because
scarcity of the right kind of labor. That there is a great need for
ing facilities is demonstrated every day in the larger cities, and
ably, only to a lesser degree, in the smaller communities, During
spring and early summer there has been an unprecedented de-
for homes, and prices have gone up rapidly. Many families

Business Founded by Canadian Lumberman

The International Paper Company, which has appeared so pro-
minently in the campaign against Canada at Washington, was
founded by a Canadian—it was a consolidation, in 1898, of some’ 30)
newsprint mills—the late Hugh J. Chisholm, who was born at Nia- |
gara-on-the-Lake. He went to a business college in Toronto and,
beginning as a newsboy on the train, his work carried him to Maine,
where he became interested in a newspaper and thence in lumber-
ing and paper-making. Probably no man did more to build up these
resources in that state than Mr. Chisholm, where he was not only
highly regarded during his life-time, but has left a clean reputation —
behind him. The greatest monument to him is the model town he —
pe for his employees at Rumford, Me., says the “Financial —

ost. . |
‘A member of “The Post” staff. who knew Mr. Chisholm*very 7
well, had a long chat about him with a Maine attorney some months |
ago. This attorney always represented interests opposed to Mr. ©
Chisholm, and'they had many a bitter contest over water and other —
rights, but he paidva high tribute to his sterling character. He was_
a hard man with whom to close a deal. He would have so many —
points to bring up when everything seemed to be settled and days ©
would sometimes be wasted over minor points. But when the mat-_
ter was finally closed Mr. Chisholm carried out the terms in perfect |
faith even if they were unfayorable to him. The attorney mentioned —
one case where, owing to a legal technicality, Mr. Chisholm became

He protected this interest through the court proceedings until the ©
matter was finally settled in his favor. The attorney of the heirs then
went to him to know what disposition he proposed to make. He at |
once said: “Now, Mr. _ the law gives me these interests, but
I am not morally entitled to them and I never had any intention of —
accepting them. My interest will go to the moral heirs not the legal?”
And so they did. ae

Mr. Chisholm’s son, the attorney said, succeeded to his father’s —
lumbering business in Maine, and, unlike the average successful men’s _
sons, he is making good in a big way. Had he succeeded his father
in the International Paper it is safe to assume he would not have
adopted Mr. Dodge’s unjust attitude towards Canada. The late Mr. ©
Chisholm, though not one of the Canadian families—his father hay- —
ing emigrated from the North of Scotland—never lost an opportun- —
ity to praise this country. The writer remembers him on several —
occasions and particularly one afternoon on the deck of an ocean —
liner surrounded by a group of American, British and French finan- —
ciers and investors, including James Speyer, Moncton Trewen, Spen-.
cer Trask. He said he believed Canada had the greatest future of any ©
country in the world, because it had the strongest inhabitants physi- —
cally and mentally. They were descended from the sturdy, honest U.
E. Loyalist and Old Country stock, who were accustomed to hard —

work, who led frugal lives and who expected and loved the es
ships in their way through the world. #

Timber Estimating House Expanding

Mr. James W. Sewall of Old Town, Maine, has made arrange-
ments to open an office for the conduct of timber estimating and-
mapping work throughout the Southern and Central States. The
well-known and established Lumbermen’s Bureau, Munsey Build-
ing. Washington, D.C., will act as Mr. Sewall’s representative for
that territory. This expansion has become necessary because of the
continued increased demands for reliable work, such as the Sewall
organization accomplishes, and so that Southern and Central clients
can secure as good, quick service as to Northern ones. Mr. Sewall

will be in active personal touch with both offices.

A new sawmill is being erected at Lakefield, Ont., by John Duig-

Production Good and Help Efficient

| Wm. McLachlan, of Magnetawan, says that he has no trouble
Lali getting help this season in his sawmill and labor conditions are
_ the best since the war commenced. Wages have advanced some,
' but men are more efficient. The bulk of the sawing this season is for
| contract work and he will cut a million and a half feet—one-half
million more than in 1919. Mr. McLachlan says he has not shipped
tf any lumber as yet and-does not think he will have any trouble
getting cars. His stock has to be towed some twenty miles before
it reaches Burk’s Station. The demand for lumber is the best that
}) he has experienced in years and thinks the price compares favor-
_ ably with other commodities. Mr. McLachlan has been a reader of
ib _ the “Canada Lumberman” for many years and says he enjoys its con-
4 tents and obtains from its pages much useful and timely information.

turns this year being therefore in excess by $31,439,496. This in-

With the exception, possibly, of a hardware store, I know of no line
of stock more susceptable to getting disarranged, out of order and
mixed up than the stock of a lumber yard, particularly in the country
where it is more of a mixed character than in the cities, and it is no
small part of a yard business to keep this conglomerate mass of
merchandise in proper order and arrangement, and always having
an attractive appearance.

Country yards are usually under-manned so far as help is con-
cerned, and there are periods when little time can be spared for
keeping things in order. There is always a tendency, however, to
let these things go, and put them off till some future time, and the
consequence is that it is not long before the whole yard is in disorder.

Clean Up As You Go Along

One proper way is to keep cleaned up and the stock in order as
you go along. When showing out lumber to customers, it takes

-but a minute to put the piles in as good order as before, and the yard

men should be required to go over the yard once a day and pick up
the loose litter and broken pieces of lumber, and in hot weather, turn
over the stuff on top of the piles that is warping. Ten or fifteen min-
utes a day spent in doing this will keep the yard in reasonably good
appearance when in a busy time.

Have a sharp spade to get under grass sod and weeds. Throw
the debris out of the yard. Then get a few loads of cinders and
spread them on the surface you have gone over. This will effectual-
ly prevent any grass from growing there again. The backs of the
piles are the dirtiest places in the yard, and the sash houses too will
come under that category. There are many yards that, to the cas-
ual eye look clean, but like many dwellings, the out-of-sight places
are replete with dirt and disorder. The average shed is so built that
it is hard to get back of the piles to clean up. The back of a lumber
passage way “wide enough for this purpose. The back of a lumber
pile costs just as much as the front part, and should have the same
care. Where the stock is not fully dry when piled in the shed, the
back lacks of sufficient circulation in hot weather. This will produce
mildew, especially near the bottom of the pile. You will find more
of this in the ald sheds built many years ago when they were designed
to cover the stock only, and cheapness of construction was the prin-
cipal thing to consider.

The lower part of the shed may look fairly well, but in eh cases
the upper tier is something like the attic room of an old dwelling
house, and yet, some of hie most valuable part of the stock is stored
up there. Nobody cares to go up there except when necessary to
get something, for it is the hottest, dirtiest and most disagreeable
place in the whole yard to be in, and for this reason it is avoided
when possible. The fact is with most sheds, the upper part has no
floor, the piled stock resting on the bare joists, affording no means
for getting to the back of the piles excevt walking on one that js
lower than others, and this inconvenient way of getting around up
there causes this part of the shed to be neglected. Moreover, this
is where the slow selling stock is usually put; also the odds and ends
which is thought may be of use sometime or other. They go up there
and are generally forgotten and not noticed till the time for the an-
nual inventory comes around. There is a lot of good stuff in the
back corners and out-of-the-way places in the average yard which
might be made saleable if proper effort is made to bring them to the |
attention of customers. The stairs and runway should be made easy
for customers to go up and see the stock on the upper floor, as these
are generally constructed few people care to go up there and see
for themselves the things the dealer is trying to sell them.

Properly Built Sheds Are Scarce

With some few exceptions, the retail lumbermen have not yet
learned to build a shed as it ought to be. They are nothing but
sheds when they ought to be warehouses where a customer can go
anywhere about them with a feeling of freedom from liability of
falling, and where, aiso, the dealer can inspect any part of his stock
at all times. No line of business men in the country spend so little
caring for their stock of goods, excepting perhaps the farmer whom
the retail dealer is constantly hammering at to get him to build more

shelter for his stock and machinery, while at the same time the far-
mer can see thousands of dollars worth of stock lying in the yard

_ exposed to the dirt and all kinds of weather. A farmer, or anyone
else, of orderly habits, can’t help but take notice of a grass-grown
and disorderly yard, and they have their opinions of the dealer ac-
cordingly. They perhaps don’t say it when he is trying to sell them
a bill of paint, but they can’t help but think, “Why don’t he paint
“the buildings of his yard?” The lumber dealer is a great preacher
in urging other people to spend their money for improvements, but
he takes care to spend as little as he can for the same purpose.

I said to a shabbily dressed Jew storekeeper the other day,
“Why don’t you wear yourself some of the clothes you are trying
~. to sell to other people?” You want to know the result? Well- the

One closed shed is more common now than it used to be.
future will see the whole stock under ‘cover, which is as it should be.
The closed shed is comparatively warm in winter, and it is the cool-
est place in town in the hot season, while the open-face yard is the
hottest place in the town. But while it is the coolest, the closed shed
is the dirtiest when the winds blow, and beyond the Missouri this
__ means more or less of it every day of the year. People out there
ie don’t mind it when in the open, for it is accepted as a feature of their
living conditions which cannot be gotten away from. In a closed
‘ shed, however, it is partcularly annoying when the winds comes from

the right direction to make it so. As the dust is blown in it stays
there. You never see the wind blowing it out again, and practically
all of it remains on, in, and about the lumber piles, and stays there.
Probably a ton of dust is blown into such a shed during the year.

Keeping Dust Out of Sheds

‘ In dry weather, its effect on the lumber is only to stain it, which
is no injury, except perhaps to portions of the finish stock that is
slow moving. But when damp weather comes the lower parts of the

- piles having a larger accumulation of dust, are prevented by it from

. drying out, for it closes the pores of the wood and remaining long

_ enough in this condition decay begins. This is the reason why the

bottom layers in piles of slow moving stock are found to be damag-

_ed when taken out. The piles of-such stock should be moved before

Pema

ue E they get black, and the bottom layers put on the top part of the pile.
_A good deal of dust can be kept out of these closed sheds by exer-
__ cising a little care in keeping the doors closed on those days when
the wind is more direct to the ends of the shed where the doors
are. A plank driveway should be frequently swept, but this is hardly
thas! ‘practical with a dirt floor. In this case an application of common
AY 5 salt scattered over it will keep the dust down materially. When
pea it is possible to obtain the crude oil that is used in surfacing hard
Ho ‘roads, a coating of this will be better than anything else.
ie I was in a country yard last summer that has all its alleys and
_ shed driveways paved with hard brick. It was a warm day and one
IP of the yardmen was using the hose for flushing them. This was a
a daily practice, serving to keep them clean and cooling the atmosphere
ae in the shed on a warm day. I noticed, too, at this yard that the
_ shingles were piled on end and in spells of dry weather the hose
ag was turned on them to keep them in better condition for use.

Be Giving Attention to Green Stock
A good deal of green lumber has been shipped to the retail yards
' during this period of stock shortage. The mills had no time to dry it
ee _ properly before shipping and in many cases it came to the dealers in
bad condition. In warm weather lumber that is not dry before load-
4 _ ing in the car, will be more or less stained in transit, especially yel-
| low pine that is sappy. I have seen carloads of common stuff and
two-thirds of it was black with mold. No amount of drying will
brighten it again. Although it does not ‘injure the strength of the
oy wood, it is not so saleable as light lumber. A dealer has no pride in
ae _ showing a customer such looking stuff. If it is very soggy the thing
to do is pile it right away with a strip between every two layers, if
it goes in the shed. Every second layer will do if piled outside in
warm, dry weather. Finish lumber that is not dry should be strip-

‘ers whose integrity might be doubted. Such a warning

defence he brought into court his bills. from the manufacturers,
showing plainly that these shirts had been billed to him as all wool, .
and he merely advertised them in the same way. The court held |
that that was no defence; that he should have known whether they
were all wool,,and unless he was absolutely sure of it he should not
have advertised them as such.

“Of course. if the retailer has knowledge that the manufacturer
is wrong, and he goes ahead with a mis-statement, that is a fraud”
clearly, and even if a retailer hasn’t knowledge that the manufacturer
is wrong and quotes a manufacturer without making some effort to
check up, the retailer can be held responsible legally. The retailer
is looked upon by the buying public as a specialist and expert in the
various kinds of merchandise which he sells and the public relies _
upon him to set out all of the facts truthfully with respect to his —
merchandise and holds him responsible—and has a right to hold him
responsible. The public has a right to believe exactly what it reads
‘in advertising and to act upon that belief.

“The retailer is and should be held responsible for all of the
statements appearing over his signature in advertising. If he does _
not know that they are mis-statements he should make it his business

Pikers Spend Gala Day at Espanola

The Michigan Pikers’ tourists were recently the guests of the
Spanish River Pulp & Paper Co. at Espanola. W. J. Hussey, general
superintendent of the plant, entertained the entire party at Apsley
Lake to lunch, after which fishing was engaged in and a tour was
then made of the big paper mill, where 290 tons of newsprint are
turned out daily. The members were astonished to learn how the
spruce tree is ground into pulp and turned out as white paper for
the daily journals. The party left Espanola for Blind River and Thes-
salon. The pikers announced that the road from North Bay to Es-
panola was the poorest that they had encountered in Ontario. The
five-ton trucks, on the tour broke through four bridges an e cul-
vert before getting to Espanola. Fhe experience is consi das a
good omen for a stronger business.

Will Build Big Power Dam
The development of the Gatineau Valley by the Riordon Com- —
pany, Limited, which has absorbed the Gilmour and Hughson andi.
E, Edwards Company interests, will proceed soon. Notices have
been received by the residents of Chelsea Island, a few miles from —
Ottawa and opposite Chelsea, Que., to quit their cottages by Septem-
ber 30 next, in view of the proposed developments. The cottages are — ;
rented from the Gilmour and Hughson interests, and have been used
for many years as summer residences. ae
It is stated that the big power dam at Chelsea, which will raise _
‘he level of the river over twenty feet, will be started this fall or —
early next spring. This dam will create an enormous amount of pow-—
er. and will raise the river as far up as the Cascades, that is, seven
miles. Chelsea Island will be several feet under water when the river
is finally raised by the dam.
It is said, moreover. that the river will be so high, once the dam
is built that the road up the Gatineau, and also the railway tracks
in the neighborhood of Kirks Ferry, will be flooded by the new level,
and will either have to be elevated or rebuilt on higher ground.
The seven miles of still river which this dam will create will be
used as a reservoir for pulp wood. t

Holds Record for Load of Lumber

According to the reports of past records of the Canadian Robert
Dollar Company, the S.S. Robert Dollar, an 8,800 ton standard Rob-
ert Dollar type of freighter, holds the record for a deckload of lum-
ber out of British Columbia ports. Though the load of 870,000 feet
of lumber on the deck of the S.S. Canadian Prospector, an 8100-ton
ship is a very high figure, the Robert Dollar claims the palm.

In 1914, under command of Captain R. L. Norton, now shore
superintendent for the company, the Dollar ship loaded one million |
and fifty thousand feet on her decks, at the port of Genoa Bay. — 7
The lumber was piled 17 feet high. All told the ship carried 4,990,-
000 feet. Both cargo and deckload are believed to be Canadian
records.

Why Don’t You Write?

By J. C. Hemming

Why don’t you answer letters? Yes, YOU who are a care-
less correspondent and deliberate delinquent.

Are you busier than other people who reply promptly
and pleasantly to all correspondence, or are you simply negli-
gent, self-centered, narrow, short-sighted and of the dont-
give-a-continental-cuss attitude?

. You may swing along this way for a period but eventual-
ly you will lose social and business friends, life-long associ-
ates and worth-while acquaintances.

Of course, you like to get letters of the true, friendly
type that are like a breath of fresh air or a bright spring morn-
ing, but apparently, you do not want to play your part.

The fifty-fifty vrorositicn closely aoproaches the Golden
Rule, but you would make the odds one hundred to one; in
other words, you take all the epistolary toll and let others do
the work; you reap the joy and they the pains.

Perhaps they write you once, two or three times and still
no response. What kind of a moral and mental make-up have

ou?

é If you should ask someone a civil question and receive
no answer, then repeated the query and still no reply, what
would you think?

You would consider yourself the victim of a downright
insult and feel inclined never to recognize again such an of-
fender.

This observation refers to oral matters, but how much
greater is the misdemeanor in the line of correspondence. The
_ written word carries more weight and is of more significance
and import than the spoken.

Sy don’t you write?” exclaim some.
sion to do so—several times—and then lose faith in the would-
be correspondent for not acknowledging communications or
regarding so lightly and selfishly the obligations of courtesy
and custom.

The world has little use for the gusher and the glum, the
flouter and the flirt, the egotistical and the cnviovs. the on-
pressor and the obdurate, the Jiar and the loafer and a score of
- other characters that are all too painfully present in this rush-
ing, restless age.

Is it not high time that in this comprehensive category
there should be included he or she who never takes the trouble
to answer a letter?

They, who desire to have genuine friends must first show
themselves friendly. Social and business correspondents who
persistently pass up everything in the way of written mes-
sage, may awaken to find themselves occupying a niche of
complete isolation in the esteem, affection and goodwill of
their fellows.

Sooner or later the world vlaces its stamp of approval on
sincerity and worth, and we are coming to that stage where
it will refuse to countenance the indifferent and indolent
correspondent.

If You Should Die To-Night
By J. C. Dionne, in Gulf Coast Lumberman

Did you ever stop to ask yourself that question, Mr. Lum-
berman?

Did you ever sit down and try to itemize honestly and
without bias the things YOU have done for the lumber in-
dustry, and look yourself squarely in the eye and tell yourself
the truth about the matter?

Remember the story of Jones, who was showing his vis- —
itor Smith around town. They passed a portly gentleman
who bowed condescendingly to Jones, yet whose condescen- _
sion seemed to please our friend. When the big man passed ©
from earshot, Jones remarked rather proudly to his guest:

“That was Jim Bond. He’s worth FIVE MILLION ©

DOLLARS.”
And Smith, who had looked Bond « over, and who was
something, of a human nature judge, asked, dryly: ee
“Who to? Himself, or the town?” . i a
And the world, and the lumber industry, is well s fed
with men whom their fellows frequently call “succe » eae

whom Smith’s question might pertinently be asked; ‘and there —
could be but one answer—“HIMSELF.” .
Men of utter selfishness. Men whose only aim and only |
ambition is to get together as many dollars as possible, and —
to hang onto them—“Until death do them part.” — heed
YOU know some of them. We all do. ee
Let’s suppose that one of them had just died and 3 we are
writing his obituary. NOT a regular obituary. An HONEST tl
obituary; doing him no whit of injustice; merely telling th
truth. It reads like this:
“Jim Bond, President of the Bond Lumber Company Pe
associated interests, died last night. He had been in the 1
ber business thirty years, and left an estate of FIVE fae Oe
LIONS OF DOLLARS. He took this huge sum OUT OF ise
the lumber industry. He put back NOTHING. Not a
thought; not a deed; not a constructive act; nothing whatever
that served to make the industry better, or the world more —
fit to live in. He did NOT believe in co-operation. Those x BA
fundamentals of the industry without which there could have —
been NO INDUSTRY, he did NOT support. The founda-
tions and the superstructure of the lumber industry—essen-
tial to the very EXISTENCE of the industry—knew neither
his assistance nor his he'p. He boasted of the GRADE of his
lumber, yet he never supported those institutions whose grad- "
ing rules he used. When things arose that. required the co-
operation of the stalwarts of the industry, Jim Bond was
missing. He was too cautious, too stingy, too narrow, too
short of vision, to appreciate the big things of LIVING. The —
idea that he had a PART TO PLAY in the industry; that he >
OWED A DUTY to the industry; found no place in his soul. —
If all men acted toward the world as Jim Bond did pate pes
the industry, mankind would still be savage, living in caves, fas
clad in the skins of wild beasts, and knowing no God. Jim - yes
Bond is GONE; like a derelict sinking in the fathomless
depths of the sea, leaving no trace behind to mark where
once he was. And no man can look back over his life and ‘say 7g
— ‘THIS is what he did for the lumber industry.’ ” aid
Know any Jim Bonds, Mr. Lumberman? :
Think that question over, once in a while. If you: er
ped off to-night, could it be said of you that you had left a
constructive mark on the industry that: has supported you? —
That it is better off because of YOU? . aie s)
Work hard to keep from being a Jim Bond. So live that ake,
the world could say if you went to-night :—
“IT’S A BETTER INDUSTRY AND A BETTER 7
WORLD, BECAUSE OF HIM.” oe

Gas Masks for Forest Rangers e

Necessity taught the English and Americans the use of gas
masks. Now these same accessories of war have been put to use in —
fighting attacks of the destroyer in nature.

A severe forest fire in Glentanar Forest, Aberdeenshire, Scot- —
land, fed by a high wind, raged for days. On the fourth day a veering -
wind gravely endangered the mansion house of Lord Glentanar, and —
the village of Aboyne was threatened. Lord Glentanar, who had —
kept an all-night vigil, following his hurried journey north from
London, was called upon to decide quickly whether, in the hope of
checking the spread of the fire to the woods of Craigendinnie densely —
planted with old Scots pines, he would sacrifice another strip of valu- _
able wood at the edge of Knosikie Hill by burning it in advance of
the colmun of flame 75

He immediately gave orders to withdraw those battling against —
the advancing fire and to burn the wood uphill. Thus the advance of |
danger toward the township of Aboyne was stayed, but further off
in the depths of the main forest a fierce blaze still roared and crackl-_
ed. 3

Subdued at one point. the fire broke out in another, and mobile
parties were sent speeding hither and thither to centres which sen- —
tries posted on a tall watch tower signaled as being alight. Thus the ©
day was one of alternating hopes and fears. Once came a shout of |
victory, as over a stretch “of three miles a wall of fire was beaten
down. But later this temporary success was ced by a more vi-
cious outbreak further south.

New Creosoting Industry for Sudbury

Work has been started on the erection of a plant at Sudbury,
Ont., by the Canadian Creosoting Co. The purchase of the required —
land involved $60,000, and options were exercised on 147 acres of land ©
along the Soo branch of the C. N. R. and the Co»per Cliff- Sudbury —
Road: The plant will have a capacity of two million railway ties a |
year, and will treat bridge timber as well. Two hundred men will be
employed. They will treat ties and timber from as far West as Fort
William, after which they will be distributed to the Eastern Ontario
divisions of the C. P. R.

Use of Esparto in Paper Making

During the European war the scarcity of paper pulp in the”
Spanish market, caused by the difficulty in securing supplies border-
ing upon the Baltic coast, caused Spanish paper makers to consider §
the use of esparto to supplement the import supply. Esparto grows
throughout extensive districts in the south of Spain, and a poorer
quality is found on large areas of poor and sandy lands in- Algiers |
and Tunis. Esparto fiber has been used for centuries in Spain, eand —
the manufacture of matting, baskets, and cordage exclusively of es-
parto dates from the time of the Moorish occupation.

New Position for Forest Engineer

O. M. Porter. instructor in forest engineering, has resigned from
the New York State College of Forestry faculty, Syracuse, to go to
the American Pulp and ” Paper Association, as assistant to. Dr.
Hugh P. Baker, former dean of the College of Forestry. The resig-
nation is not only one more evidence of the manner in which the
industries are looking to the forestry profession for men for practical
business life, but will mean the placing of one more trained forester
in the paper ‘industry which offers great opportunity for the practical
application of forestry principles.

The Decennial celebration of the Forest Products Laboratory in

The Pulpwood Supply of Canada
_ James White, assistant to the Commission of Conservation at
Ottawa, has written to the press taking issue with a printed state-
ment to the effect that it would take 344 years to exhaust the Can-
_adian pulpwood limits at the present rate of consumption. He says:
i 4 ,A revised estimate by the commission, based upon the best
available data from all sources, places the total of spruce and bal-
sam, the species primarily used for news print, accessible and inac-
- eéssible, at 501,000,000 cords, for eastern Canada.’ That which is
accessible to existing transportation amounts to 421,000,000. With

+ May Use Hardwoods for Pulp

It has always been the hope of pulp and paper men that some
method would be discovered whereby hardwoods might be used
for the manufacture of pulp. At the present time the forests of the
o province are undergoing a change. All the soft woods are being
: a cut out and the hardwoods left standing, with a result that the latter
flourish exceedingly. There are immense areas almost entirely cov-
ee ered by hardwoods and if some method could be discovered for util-
izing this in. manufacturing paper, great reserves of raw material

would be available. The Laurentide Company of Grand Mere, Que.,
: is now planning to experiment with hardwoods for this purpose.
_. The company has large hardwood holdings, estimated to contain
ii + 1,000,000 cords of available timber. L. A. Nix, of the company’s
_ Forestry Department, is now on an exploration trip over this area.
_ The company, using Mr. Nix’s report, has plans to use about 1,000
cords of the hardwood for experimental purposes in the ground wood
department of the mill next winter.

“ment of that residence owing to the disagreeable odors emanating
m the defendants’ works through the use of the chemical complain-
of.
_ The residential property in question has been in the possession
of the Brown family since 1801. It is situate in grounds covering
y or sixty acres. There have been considerable negotiations be-
een plaintiff and the company with the object of effecting a reme-
ly, and an offer was made to purchase plaintiff’s property.

The case for the defence was that the discharge of gases from
the mill was not injurious to health or vegetation. The process of
nufacture of pulp and paper adopted by the defendants was de-
“scribed as one of the most modern. Carbonate of soda had been used
aap to 1908, but now the use of sulphate of soda was the only process
“that enabled their mills to compete with imported pulp and also the
p largely manufactured by this process in this country. It was
ubmitted that there was no known process commercially practicable
or removing all, or even the major portion of the so-called bad
elling compounds and fumes from the discharged gases of sulphate
p. And it was repeated, there was no menace to health. If an
unction, either interlocutory or permanent, were to issue to compel
the company defendant to refrain from the further use of sulphate of
“soda, defendants said they would have to close their chemical or pulp
‘mill and also a portion of their paper mill.

Judge Maclennan found that “nauseating, offensive, disagreeable
and sickening gases and vapors, odors and smells difficult to de-
_ seribe” emanated from the mills and caused illness and discomfort
inmates of plaintiff's house! and to other inhabitants of Windsor
ills, and held that these detracted from the enjoyment of his pro-
tty to which plaintiff was entitled. He therefore issued the injunc-

may Will Straw Duplicate Pulpwood?
Plans are being made for the establishment of a $1,000,000 paper
“mill in southern Saskatchewan and large financial interests in Toron-
are said to be behind the scheme. W. R. Phillips, a former Mayor
of Trenton, Ont., is making a preliminary survey of the territory
round Regina, and according to him it has been found from exper-
ace that two tons of straw and two tons of coal can be manufac-
into one ton of paper. The new industry will utilize thousands

dup. The mill will be located in close proximity to an ade-
ate supply of cheap coal, which is one of the essentials in the lo-
of such a plant. It is believed by the men behind the scheme
t the lignite fields of southern Saskatchewan offer the necessary
el equipment.

Se f Trump Card of the Dominion
“Canada’s pulp and paper industry is now one of her trump
s,’ declared James White, deputy head of the Commission of

‘in the Fort Garry hotel, Winnipeg, recently. He gave an in-
sting outline of the commission’s work in the forest division, and
it proposes to do in order that the industries dependent upon the
‘may continue. ;
t present there is a great scarcity of forest products, he stated.

wood supplies. “Within a period of thirty years,” said Mr. White,
“we have witnessed the phenomenal rise of the pulp and paper in-
dustry. According to the latest figures, it represents an investment
of over $250,000,000 and gives employment to 25,000 persons in the
manufacturing end alone. Last year pulpwood and paper exports
from Canada were valued at $113,000,000, of which nearly 80 per cent.
went to the United States. Canada today manufactures more than
two-thirds of the newsprint used in the United States.”

In order that Canada may continue to supply this large propor-
tion of the newsprint requirements, and in order that the industry
may expand and become more profitable, Mr. White pointed out,
forest management must be practised in the most efficient manner.
In the eastern states there has been a record of depletion and ex-
haustion of timber supplies. As a prominent New York publisher
recently explained before the Advertising Club of Cleveland, if the
growth in advertising which has taken place during the last two
years were continued, in ten years the United States and Canada
would have depleted the forests of America.

“For over a decade,” he said, “the commission has been attempt-

ing to study the facts in regard to the extent and use of our natur- |

al resources so that public opinion may act on the facts as they really
exist. The only proper way to conserve any resource is to develop
it to the point of highest productivity, and with the maximum of ef-
ficiency, and to use every means to maintain its productivity at that
pitch.”

Mr. White told of the work of surveying the timber resources of
the Canadian provinces, and of the efforts to preserve forests from
destructive fires, that had been made by the commission. “The loss-
es from forest fires have been positively beyond computation,” he
said. “Fully one-half the areas in Canada that are fit only for grow-
ing trees, have been run over by fire, and the majority of the trees
killed or injured. Fires repeatedly sweep the same area, and these
repeated fires kill the young trees that are to make the future forest,
and the seed trees that, if allowed to live, might replace the destroyed
young. One area examined by our foresters had been burned over
seven times in 25 years.”

The commission, he explained, had initiated legislation which
was to deal with fires caused by railway agencies—a factor of enor-
mous importance. Their efforts had been supplemented by indepen-
dent commercial and educational organizations. Every administrat-
ive department in the government charged with the management of
timbered areas, is today engaged in the campaign to prevent and con-
trol forest fires.

“Forest conservation,” concluded Mr. White, “affects the pock-
et book of practically every member of the community. The man
who builds or rents a house, buys a book or paper, or uses advertis-
ing space is affected. Every many who has money is one of the 80,-
000 employed in such work is also vitally interested in conservation.”

Press Getting After Fort Frances Co.

Thirteen western newspapers have entered suit against the Fort
Frances Pulp & Paper Co. of Fort Frances, Ont., for a declaration
that certain judgments or orders of the Paper Control Tribunal are
valid and binding on the defendant, and to enforce the same, and for
payment of all sums due by the defendant to the plaintiff. The
amount involved is about $122,000, the largest claim being that of
the Manitoba Free Press, for $52,259. The writ in connection with
the suit was issued in Toronto during the past week.

WHERE SAUSAGES GROW ON TREES

In Rhodesia, Africa, sausages grow on trees, thus reducing the high cost of
sausages in that land. The growth is a pod with a shell not unlike that of a

garden pea, only it is twenty times as large. The tree is called the “sausage
tree.” Before there is a rush to this land of the growing sausage, it might.
be said that this tree “fruit” does not come up to the requirements of the
pure food law for sausages. 5

What Constitutes Dry Rot?

The term “dry rot,” the Forest Products Laboratory, Madison,
Wis., finds, is applied by many persons to any decay which is found
in wood in a comparatively dry situation. Thus loosely used the
tefm actually includes all decay in wood, since wood kept sufficient-
ly wet can not decay.

In the more limited sense in which pathologists use the term,
“dry rot” applies only to the work of a certain house fungus called
Merulius lachrymans. This fungus gains its distinction from the
fact that it is frequently found growing in timbers without any ap-
parent moisture supply; in reality it does not grow without mois-
ture and is as powerless as any other fungus to infect thoroughly
dry wood. Given moist wood in which to germinate, it is able to
make its way a surprisingly long distance in dry timbers, drawing

‘the water it needs from the moist wood through a conduit system

of slender, minutely-porous strands.

Wood in the typical advanced stage of dry rot is shrunken.
yellow to brown in color, and filled with radial and longitudinal
shrinkage cracks, roughly forming cubes. In many instances these
cracks are filled with a white felty mass, the interwoven strands of
the fungus. The decayed wood is so brittle and friable that it can eas-
ily be crushed into powder.

The dry rot fungus is active in nearly every region of the Un-
ited States, in Canada, and in Europe. It is very destructive to fac-
tory and house timbers and to logs in storage. Coniferous or soft
woods are more commonly infected by it than hardwoods.

What the Woodsman Really Sees

You can always tell a trained woodsman from a tenderfoot, who
sees only the obvious things that are plainly evident, but the trained
woodsman notices the little things that are unusual or out of the
ordinary. says an authority. For example, the tenderfoot walking
through the woods will see a lot of trees that look all alike. The
skilled woodsman will notice that one tree is bent in a peculiar
shape, or has a knob or burl on one side. When he sees that tree
again he will recognize it and know he is on the right trail. The
tenderfoot will be startled by the sound of two trees rubbing to-
gether or of bushes cracking with the wind. The woodsman recog-
nizes these as ordinary sounds, but he hears the faintest of a twig,
made by an animal stepping on it. The tenderfoot walking on a trail

sees only the path in front of him, which looks all alike. The woods-

man will notice the slightest mark in the trail that shows that some
animal or person has passed before him, and he will be able to read
these marks and tell the tale of what happened.

_ Blazed Trees Aid to Histo
In earlier days, when large portions of the country were coy.
with forests and there were few roads, travel was often possib

by way of paths “blazed” through the woods. To blaze, as’
woodsman knows, is to strike off a chip from the sides of trees,
that the line of marks shall indicate the direction of the trail.
In blazing for a path small trees were marked, but in blazi

for the bounds of a lot or town or for a farm line larger trees
usually selected, the blaze being made about breast high. W
however, as was often the case, the blazing was done in winter
deep snow by men travelling on snowshoes, the mark was nece:
‘ily higher up. When such a line is traveled in the summer. espe
ly after some years, during which the trees have grown, the
are sometimes found high up on the trunks and are likely to é
the eye of the inexperienced. As many of them will also be p
overgrown the task of the surveyor who goes over one of th
lines is not always easy. ~
If the boundary line passes to the left of a tree selected for b

ing the cut is made upon the right side. If the line goes to the
the tree is blazed upon the left side. ! : fe 9:
In running a boundary line at a corner, where two lines
together, either a “monument” is erected—a stake supported by
boulders—or a tree is blazed on all four sides to indicate as
as possible the turning point of the line. ae
The permanency of the record made by blazing trees is’
remarkable. It is a matter of fact that in many cases of dis
boundaries in many cases of disputed lines or boundaries of lots -
forest lands the courts have held the records of the blazes as suf
cient and reliable, where carefully drawn plans and formally atte:
ed title deeds have been set aside. The wound of a blazed tree heal
over, but never so completely that the scar may not be readily recog
nized by the experienced woodsman, hence it follows that so long a
the blazed tree escapes fire and the axe af the lumberman so lon
it remains a faithful record of the line as surveyed. Sta bison
Blazed trees also fix dates almost as accurately as they presery
boundaries. The outer shell which has grown over scar is cut away
and the rings in the wood beneath the bark testify to the nun
of years which have elapsed since the blaze was made.

Standardization of Moulding Patterns .

The National Lumber Manufacturers’ Association is endeavor

ing to bring about what appears to be a very desirable accomplish
ment—the standardization of lumber sizes and moulding pattern
The committee working on the latter, consisting of representative
of the American Institute of Architects, the Wholesale Sash ane
Door Association, and the National Lumber Manufacturers, Assoc
ation, prepared a schedule which was submitted to the various inter
ests last spring, and at the annual meeting of the American Lumbe
Congress, in April, that body went on record as favoring standard:
ization and urging the various interests to give careful considera
tion to it. ae
Lumber sizes have varied a great deal in different producing
districts, and there is still wide variance. Differences in widths am
thicknesses come about, particularly in surfaced lumber. by the
ferent amounts of material taken from the rough lumber by
planers, and by action of associations of lumbermen manufactu:
different kinds of woods in establishing individual association stand
ards. There has always been the argument that so long as lumbe
was thick enough to serve the uses to which it was put, manufac ur-
ing it a little thinner than plump thickness for the various sizes ef
fected a saving in freight bills to the buyer, increasing with the dis
tance which it is hauled from the mill to the retail distributor. A
various times, however, state legislatures have been asked to
sider proposed laws which would compel manufacturers within —
borders, and also wholesalers and retailers, to sell “inch” tu

With moulding patterns there has not been any such eri
Desire for uniformity of patterns has come from another s
Buyers of mouldings have found a diversity of patterns manu

the point of view of convenience to the retail dealers, it would

Swelling the Ranks of the Hoc-Hoo

The great big drive for membership of the Concatenated Order
of Hoo-Hoo will be held from August 9th-to 19th, and from reports
received by Secretary-Treasurer H. R. Isherwood, St. Louis, Mo.,
there is going to be one grand,’ great boom to augment the ranks of
this worthy and widely-known organization. Not only will new
members be secured, but old ones in arrears will be asked to pay up.
Everybody who knows of the Hoo-Hoo and what it stands for, which
was fully explained in the last edition of the “Canada: Lumberman,”
will not be lukewarm in coming forward to further the interests of
this reputable organization. The big drive has created a lot of in-
terest and takes place, as already announced, from August 9th to
19th. The slogan is “Loyal Hoo-Hoo, it’s up to you to do one day’s
work for Hoo-Hoo.”

The annual convention of the organization will be held in St.
Louis on September 8th, 9th and 10th, and promises to be the great-,
est ever. The Statler Hotel has been selected as the headquarters
for the sessions and those who can make it possible to attend should
send in their reservations now, addressing the Hoo-Hoo office, Ar-
cade Bldg., St. Louis, Mo., direct.

Encourage Building Sleeping Porches

We have never ceased preaching on the great value to a busi- ©
ness man of the ability to make and hold friends. The merchant who
holds at once the business respect and the personal friendship of.
the people of his town, is going to be the king bee in his line of busi-
ness in that town, says the “Gulf Coast Lumberman.”

Then take this tip, Mr. Dealer. We know of no way in which
you can bring to your side more enduring friendship in your trade,
than by selling your townspeople sleeping porches. Prove it for
yourself. Go talk to the folks who now have sleeping porches, and
discover what they think of them. At this time of the year .there is
no possession under the sun that is one-half as popular with the
average family as their sleeping porch. They sleep in the open air
—dreamlessly, coolly, comfortably—and they rise in the morning
strengthened and refreshed, to hear their neighbors telling what a
hot night it had been.

Every family that owns a sleeping porch, thoroughly appreci-
ates that possession: They are open and frank in their appreciation.
Doesn’t it stand to reason then, Mr. Dealer, that a real stroke of busi-
mess genius on your part, is the building of just as many sleeping ;
porches in your town as possible. : Why, it has gotten so now in
many parts of this country, that the home that is offered for sale
that cannot brag about having a “lovely sleeping porch,” is immedi-
ately at a disadvantage.

It is ten degrees cooler on a sleeping porch on a hot summer
night than it is in the coolest bedroom inside the house. Inside the —
house the mosqtiitoes may be biting in swarms; outside on the sleep-_
ing porch you are untroubled by them. There is health, happiness,
satisfaction in sleeping porches. Compared with their value and
usefulness, they g give you more for your money than almost any —
other possible investment.

Sell a man who never had a sleeping porch and before the sum-
mer is over you have earned his déep gratitude. And you have done
wonders for himself and his family. .

Get some sleeping porch plans.

Write a sleeping porch letter.

Run a sleeping porch ad.

List your town folks who need sleeping porches.

Use the mail, the newspaper, and your personal solicitation to ~
reach him.

Visualize with your plans.

Don’t let a single family in your town go without a sleeping
porch simply because you: have not made the proper effort to provide
him. That is your job. You accepted such duties when you became
a building merchant.

Retailers Having Annual Excursion
As the “Canada Lumberman” goes to press between fifty and .
sixty members of the Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association
ate enjoying their annual outing to North Bay, Callander, Trout
Mills, Cache Bay, Sturgeon Falls and the French River. The trip
will occupy four or five days and several points will be visited while
the members will partake of out-door shanty lunches, fishing trips,
motor and steamer rides, etc. A full report of the jaunt will appear
in the next issue of the “Canada Lumberman.”

Examinations for forest rangers and scalers were held in Fred-
ericton recently. Seventeen men wrote on the examinations, hoping
to qualify for Government rangers. Following the written and oral —
examinations the ‘men were takén to the Victoria mill, where they
were given some tests in scaling. \

Review of Current Trade Condi

Ontario and the East

During the past few days there has been an improvement in
trade, and while there is no great rush. wholesalers and manufactur-
érs are well satisfied with the volume at this season of the year.
Building operations continue active at most points and lumber values,
on the whole, are holding, although there is a little weakening in
spruce and hemlock. A few isolated cases of price-cutting are re-
ported, but these are where parties are over-stocked or do not deem
it desirable to hold on to what they have in hand. On the whole
July was very satisfactory to the trade in general, although the vol-
ume was, no doubt, cut down by reason of the talk of slump-in every
other commodity. The recent advance of from $3.00 to $5.00 in west-
ern stock is holding good and shingles are now on the as-
cendency. Thére are not nearly as many cars in transit as formerly
and westérn values are becoming more stabilized. Word from the
west says that the domestic demand there is improving. Further in-
quiries are coming from overseas points and things are generally on
the up-grade. Some of the shingle mills are resuming, but opera-
tions in this line are still very much restricted. Although it has been
reported that a decrease has taken.place in the price of logs, this is
not the case.

As the days pass there is a more optimistic feeling in the ranks
of the retail lumbermen and others, owing to the excellent crop
prospects, both in the east and the west. It is expected that the far-
mers, who will reap a rich harvest, will do considerable building this
fall, and the demand for general lines in repair work will be excep)-
tionally keen. Of all the softwoods white pine is, possibly. the most
active in demand and is holding its own. :

The car situation is still far from satisfactory and many ship-
‘ments are handicapped by reason of the shortage of foreign cars and
the embargo which prevails at several points. It is announced that
the application of the Canadian Railroad Association to the Do-
minion Railway Commissieners for a 30 per cent. increase in freight
rates has been made. This intimation has been expected for some
time, and knowing ones feel certain that it may be granted. An in-
crease of 30 per cent. in the freight rates, the levying of the business
sales tax, the transportation difficulties and other factors are all
going to add to the price of lumber. There is no indication that
wages will fall in any line; in fact the tendency is rather in the other
direction and, with the higher price of sugar, potatoes, hay and other

- requisites of camps, logging expenses are going to mount higher than

ever. The application for higher freight rates is based upon the in-
creased operating costs, including both labor, charges and the price of
materials. It is stated that the increases in such costs greatly exceed
the rate increase that was put into effect in August. 1918. During the
first twelve months following the inauguration of the higher rates there
was an increase in costs amounting to about $80,000,000, while addi-
tional revenue derived under the higher tariff basis came to only $43,-
000,000. :

Among shippers there is little doubt entertained but that the
carriers will be granted a substantial increase in rates on account
of the decreased purchasing power of the railroads’ dollar. The Rail-
way Association is anxious that the increase shall come into effect
as speedily as possible in order to give relief.

It is stated that the railways, both in Canada and the United
States, will be buying considerable material this fall, which will add
considerably to the activity of the hardwood trade, which is rather
dull at the present time. There is not much purchasing going on, and
manufacturers who operate large industrial plants where great quan-
tities of hardwood are required, are afraid to launch out an expansive
scale owing to the threatened shortage of coal. In fact some of the
industries are running dangerously near the zero line in this respect.
One wholesaler reported that he had a few cars cancelled during the
past week, which is the first countermanding of an order that had
taken place in many months. Large consumers are buying only in
carload lots, as required from time to time, instead of big blocks, as

_characterized the situation at the commencement of the year. Prices
are a little easier in some lines, but on the whole. are keeping up very
Manufacturers are more anxious to dispose of stocks now
than they were some months ago, and are looking around to see
where they can sell their 1920 cuts.

Writing to a Toronto representative of B. C. products, a western

- manufacturer says that there has been a material stiffening in prices

during the past few days. The advance in railway freight rates which
will undoubtedly take place in the near future,, the exceedingly good

BUY THE BEST

ways buy their stocks from us because we can ship them

on quick notice. It pays to have the goods, but it pays

better to ““deliver’’ them.

tially increased their liquid capital are finding it difficult to finance
even their minimum stock requirements.

Until some, or all, of these factors are removed or modified, it
is not to be expected that there will be very radical advances in the
lumber market. The dealer cannot continue buying on a heavy scale
if lumber is going out of his yard in limited quantities.

The buying movement that has gaincd moinentum within the last
‘wo or three weeks is well-considered aid-.is consistent. Lumhei
does not consider it in the nature of a “flash” movement, but anti-
cipates a slow but steady gain in prices in the lower grades. Some
further declines in upper grades would not be surprising, as differen-
tials are still much wider than the old proportions between grades.

There is little to indicate a “runaway” market. Apparently it
could occur only as a result of extreme car shortage, putting at a
premium what few shipments could come through from the mills. A
very substantial recovery in building operations might have the same
effect, but is so unlikely within the near future as to be negligible.
The outlook for the country yards is really better than for those
located in the industrial centres. Crop prospects are excellent, much
of the buying coming from small yards and from line yards that
are rightly anticipating a good farm trade.

Great Britain

A very considerable import of New Brunswick and Nova Sco-
tia spruce deals met with a restricted demand. Values were easier,
according to the latest report issued by Alfred Dobell & Co. Doug-
las fir imports were heavy and the demand quiet. Values remained
steady. Scandinavian deals and boards imports exceeded the demand,
and stocks were ‘consequently increased, while f.0.b. values remain-
ed firm.

The is very little change in the pitch pine situation since the
last report. The total stock at Liverpool and Manchester of lumber
and timber now amounts to 2,137,000 cubic feet. of which over half
consists of lumber. There was a very quiet demand and prices were
easier. With regard to States hardwoods, consignment parcels of
first quality wagon oak planks of good specification, principally 5 in.
by 12 in. 16 ft., are realizing fair prices, but with the exception of
this item the general demand is stagnant, buyers being reluctant to
commit themselves for forward delivery or to make offers for con-
signment parcels now arriving.

Market Correspondence

Halifax Reports Trade Quiet with Good Outlook

During the past month the movement of lumber from the mills
of this province to the various markets has been less brisk than
during the earlier part of the year. Rail shipments are being made
to the United States, the volume depending on the limited supply
of American cars. It has been reported on several occasions that the
American railroads were arranging for a supply of cars to relieve
the situation, but there is as yet no indication that any action has
been taken with this end in view. These shipments are largely o>
account of existing contracts, and in the meantime American firms
show little inclination to transact new business.

The outlook for a fair volume of trade at satisfactory prices, a
little later in the season, seems quite promising. Most shippers be-
lieve that when business picks up across the line after the summer
holidays are over. importers there will find stocks seriously reduced,
and their efforts to put themselves in a position to supply their cus-
tomers’ demands will be reflected in higher prices for Canadian
goods, and a much more satisfactory condition of trade in general.

If this demand develops to the extent anticipated it may also
be found that the quantity of lumber suitable for the American
market left unsold will fall short of what will be required. ;

Shipments for the first six months of the year have been very
heavy, most of the mills, with the exception of some of the larger
stationary plants, have finished sawing, and the amount of lumber
remaining to be marketed at this time of year is very much below
normal. ,

Many reasons familiar to the trade have been advanced by Bri-
tish importers from time to time to account for the unsatisfactory
condition of their market for spruce deals.

Business has not yet revived, subject to the period of industrial
unrest in England, to the extent anticipated. To make matters
worse, since the opening of navigation, many cargoes have been

_— — 7 > wre ™
a . .

There is no improvement to report in East Inda teak, and stocks
being ample, buyers are disinclined to make further purchases.

From all quarters there comes thé report of dull markets, with
little or no enquiry for f.ob. goods. The year progresses rapidly, says
the “Timber News.” In a few days we shall have reached the mid-
dle of the shipping season, with roughly three months remaining to
get goods shipped away, and what has been bought for next winter's
stock ? Practically nothing.

Importers have seldom been faced with such a problem, as the
one now before them, of deciding whether to buy or what to buy
this autumn. It is a problem bristling with difficulties. Prices are
phenomenally high. Will they come back at all before the close of
the season ? Are freights likely to be very much lower this autumn?
Will there be a recurrence of the congestion troubles of a year ago?
Will the present financial stringency become more acute? When all
these factors are considered, other things may not be overlooked,
such as the desirability of undertaking heavy commitments in view
ed for expected calls. ¥

Word from Liverpool conveys the information that last month
some 4.250 stds. spruce arrived, of which 2,820 stds. went into con-
sumption. Stocks have again been added to, and now reach, includ-
ing New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Quebec spruce, about 23,000

stds. Unfortunately, trade in this wood so far has proved rather dis-

appointing owing to the heavy stocks in Britain imported during the
war, which only a few months back were placed on the market. The
situation may be expetced to right itself soon if fresh shipments are
not overdone, but at present the market, although improving, is on
the heavy side.

About 1,330 stds. Canadian yellow pine came forward last month.
680 stds. were delivered, and a moderate stock of 2,210 stds. held.
The demand for pine is improving, and later shipments will be need-
ed for expected demands.

The London softwood market is passing through a decidedly
quiet “patch,” unenlivened by any incident calling for comment, un-
less it be a rumor of a few cheap freight fixtures.

Unquestionably. this condition of affairs is attributable to out-

side causes, chief among them being the discontent at the continuance
of the 60 per cent. “excess profit duty.” There is a marked listless-
ness observable with timbermen, and in conversation one gathers
that there is a determination not to operate on a large scale, but
rather to do a minimum of business, sufficient to allow of profits
being made to cover expenses. But beyond that, why bother?

shipped from Nova Scotia, and also New Brunswick, and offered
on a market that was not prepared to absorb them. Owing to the
action of the British Government, who, at the beginning of the year
held large stocks in store both here and in England, and who still
exercised their control over shipping. in offering their holdings be-
low the c.i.f. prices asked for new stocks, it became apparent that
private shippers were up against ,very unfair competition. As a
result the export of deals from Nova Scotia has been steadily dwindl-
ing ,and freight rates now show a downward tendency. It is ex-
pected that freights will reach a level where c.i.f. prices will make
the deal trade attractive.

Local yards have lately been increasing their stocks, and the
démand for native lumber is quieted. Building is still active though
seriously retarded by the difficulty in obtaining sufficient supplies
of other materials. Laths are firm with an upward tendency.

Business Slack in Montreal with Prices Steady
Trade conditions in Montreal are characterized by quietness.
part of this can be ascribed to the usual quietness in the summer.
and a part to general conditions. Prices, however, continue to hol
very firm, with no indications of any break. In view of the reports
of a smaller cut than was anticipated, particularly in the Ottawa Val-

ley, there is every reason to anticipate a further rise rather than a

decline. The holding up of logs, due to poor water conditions, is
stated to be important in some of the Quebec districts.

Locally, business is quiet. This seems paradoxical when viewed

in the light of the large number of building permits. It is, however,
one thing to take out a permit and another to proceed with the work.
The shortage in supplies of building material is retarding work. Some
of the firms making this material age either working on part time
or are closed down, because of inability to secure stocks of coal.
Orders from across the line are slightly better, but business by

no stretch of imagination can be called good. The representative of period of June will be one that will be remembered for ‘sonte ‘Conaice 1

a large firm who has just returned from a business trip to the
Eastern States, said that the stocks bought earlier in the year are now
coming in, and that until these are sold, business will be slack. The
building permits there have dropped off.

B. C. stocks are in fair demand, with prices maintained.

Only small shipments are being made to the United Kingdom.
The shipping companies still stick to their quotation of 300s. per
standard, while tramps are offering freight at from 180s. to 200s. per
standard. The position thus created is that goods are being sent
at different freight rates, and it is obvious that those who can ob-
tain space on tramps have a distinct advantage over those who
ship by liners.

St. John Has No Surplus of Sawn Stock Unsold

Late advices indicate that there is very little change, if any,
in the lumber market at St: John. The manufacturers, as a whole,
have every confidence in the market and believe that the present
quietness and slight reduction in prices is only temporary. This
is the impression that all the producers hold. There, certainly, is no
great surplus of sawn stocks for sale at St. John, it practically all
being in the hands of brokers, who are well able to hold and who feel
they will be repaid by so doing as stocks are not over produced and
the sawing season is now about half over. With the figure for oats
and other supplies steadily going higher, -it looks to all as if logs
would cost much more than they did during 1919-20. If the banks
of the country do not advance credit to manufacturers, a great cur-
tailment in the cut of sawn logs will take place.

Prices in the American market have evidently reached the bot-
tom and certainly seem steadier at the presént than they were two
weeks ago. Very little shading of quotations is taking place. If any
bargains are going, they are quickly taken up, and as a rule it is
not done to any extent. This goes to show that there is no great
surplus of material offering or else there would be considerable reduc-
tion in prices. Laths and shingles are weak in the American market
but are yet at a fair price, netting about $6.00 for laths at St. John
—with shingles about $7.50 for Extras, Clears $7.00, 2nd Clears $4.75.
Very few shingles are going into the Américan market from St. John,
as they are selling locally at Extras $8.50, Clears $7.75, 2nd Clears
$6.50, Ex. No. 1 $5.50.

Stocks of English deal are heavy at St. John as largely all 6
inch and under in narrow sizes were turned into the American mar-
ket, leaving 7 x 3 and up for English business. The condition of the
English market shows some improvement and by fall, no doubt,
_ prices will show considerable strength. Freights are much lower,
offers having been turned down by the shippers of 160 shillings on
deals, for across. Should freights reduce, prices will become steadier
and sales can be made on Great Britain at a figure which will leave the
manufacturer still a profit.

But little tonnage has been chartered from St. John and ship-
ments are light, partly on account of so much narrow stock, many
outposts producing better average widths. Sales of deals have left
shippers from $38.00 to $40.00 per M. at shipping point.

Demand at Ottawa Falls Off—Values Firm

Uncertainty as to some of the fundamental conditions governing
the market featured the Ottawa lumber market during the closing
period of July, when a variety of unexpected circumstances cropped
up, and other matters, especially the supply of cement for building
and the uncertainty as to higher freight rates, called for attention.

The demand for stocks both from the United States and Canada
dropped away. Dry stocks became a little scarcer, and some wet
lumber came into the market. Some of it was shipped to preferred
customers in the Old Country. The woodworking plants resumed
operations, but the factory heads were not at all optimistic as to
their continuance, as they remained absolutely firm in their previ-
ously announced intention that they would not accept the award of
the Board of Conciliation, inquiring into the merits of the dispute
between their employees and themselves, not recognize the board.

Taken all around the last two or three weeks has seen a marked
change in the Ottawa lumber market, and conditions as to the fu-
ture, while not exactly doubtful as to price and supply, will bear
very close watching for several weeks to come.

One of the cheery spots of the market was the report from a
well-informed.source that a reduction in the ocean freight rate, which
is now three hundred shillings per M. feet, might be looked for with-
in the next two weeks or a month.

Though not the best kind of conditions prevailed and obstacles
seemed in the way as to the future, prices did not drop, but remained
absolutely firm in all grades, with the majority of the manufacturers
not quoting prices for this year’s sawmill cut.

Taken pro and con the month of July, 1920 ame the closing

erable time by the Ottawa lumbering trade and especially the wood-
working plants. First of all came a log shortage at the sawmills, due
to low water, which foreshadowed a reduction of the sawmill season.
Next came the strike of the members of the Inside Woodworkers and :
Factory Workers, which resulted in about fourteen plants ceasing
operations and closing down. '

The labor forces went to the City Council and at the request ;
of the City of Ottawa the Department of Labor granted a board of =~
conciliation, to which the manufacturers did not agree to be repre- —
sented upon. The Department did not, apparently, take stock in the
protest of the manufacturers and went ahead and named Mr. Stewart
McClenaghan, a departmental store manager, to represent the em-
ployers on the Board. The Board got down to business quickly and
for the best part of a week occupied the attention of the heads of the i
principal woodworking plants in court. 4

The manufacturers did not entirely appear of their own ac bj
but at the request of Judge Gunn, chairman of the Board, who, dung
the first session of the body, at which the plants were not represent.
ed, stated that if they did not care to furnish the information desired —
that their entire mill and office staff would be subpeoned to suppl.
such information. During the course of the arbitration proc
a shortage of cement sprang up, which resulted in building
tions being considerably curtailed, with little prospect of improve
ment until the supply of coal to Canadian cement plants was as-
sured from the United States. Then, in order to add fuel to an al-
ready good fire for forethought and ‘study, came the announcement
from Chicago on July 20th of increases being granted Tailway em-
ployees by the United States Labor Board. Locally or in Canada it
was taken that the increase granted by the Board would amount to
about twenty-one per cent., which set lumber shippers thir ;
to how the increase would work out on the cost of their lumber ship-
ments. On the cement and railway situations the trade seemed
to be as clear as mud as to how they would ultimately work out. ©

The best indications the Canada Lumberman could get were
that rail freight rates were going to go higher and there was going —
to be a still greater shortage of cement. In connetcion with the cem-~
ent situation it was mentioned by some of the trade that steps might
be taken to prevent its export, but inquiry in governmental circles
indicated that this could not be done, as there was no authority to
place any such restrictions on the product of the cement mariufac-
turers.

Some of the local builders pointed out that Canadian cement
firms were shipping their product into the United States so as they
could profit by the favorable exchange rate. The majority of the
cement companies in Canada are dependent on coal as a fuel supply, —
and owing to the recent shortage of this commodity, their dg ae
tion was considerably cut down. “,

The first intimation as to the new manufacturers’ prices were
given during the period, as some wholesalers announced that sales
had been made at a general advance of from ten to fifteen per cent.
as was previously forecasted. Lumber that last year sold at $55 per
M. went to sixty dollars and, in some cases, a little more, and so it
was reported the increase took effect all along the line. Several of -
the larger plants, however, have not yet named their figures for this
year’s ‘sawmill cut, and it is possible that when they go into the
market to sell that their rates will be higher than me Pree ad-
vances indicate,

Generally reports as to water conditions in the Ottawa Valley
showed considerable improvement. In some cases a raise of from
seven to eight inches was reported along the Ottawa river. On the
other hand there were reports that several of the bigger i
including Gillies Bros., McLachin Bros., and W. C. Edwards had had :
to abandon some of their drives on account of low water. .

The car situation showed some improvement as to the number
of cars received, but all of them were not box cars. In several in-
stances lumber shippers had to put up with flat cars. The improve-
ment in the car situation aided some of the bigger companies consid-
erably as they were able to forward stocks on order which had b
purchased some time ago, and so clear out part of their yards to’:
mit the piling of new stocks,

The demand from the American market, while not up to what it
was during June, showed a tendency to strengthen white pine prices.
It was felt by some of the lumber brokers that the low peak of prices
in the northern United States had been reached and passed as the res
shipments of pine stocks from North Carolina and the southern
States were becoming fewer. Thus it was believed that if the de- :
mand picked up during the fall months that the Canadian stocks
would command higher prices at the northern American yards. -

Conditions as to European export were reported to be “not as
bright as expected,” largely on account of the high ocean rates. The
majority of stocks which were being held on order went ahead and
old orders were almost cleaned up, but there was considerable hesi-

export offices at Ottawa reported that there was nothing to justify.

the rate of 300 shillings per standard and referred to the remarks
of the president of the Cunard Line, who intimated to shareholders
of the line that they could prepare themselves to look forward for
lower rates and dividends.

Conditions in Quebec Show No Change

The timber and lumber business in the St. Lawrence shows no
improvement over the conditions that prevailed in the month of
June and the first three weeks of July. The timber interests do not
look forward for any appreciable change in the near future. Activi-
ties at the port of Quebec these days show slow movement, All ship-
ments taking place are going forward in parcels in steamship liners.
There are at present several vessels touching at the port of Quebec,
one the steamer “Orthia,” booked for Greenock, which is taking on
board a full cargo of timber and deals for the various local export-
ers, the steamer “Ocean Monarch” to sail for London, is loading with
small parcels shipped by the different interests, and the steamer
“Lowlands,” also scheduled to sail for London, is here from Montreal
to complete cargo.

The American and British markets at the present are very quiet.
Up to the present there has been no sign of a reaction in freight
rates, 300 shillings per standard for deals and 450 shillings a standard
for timber. Tramp tonnage is now offering to carry freight as low as
200 shillings per stand of deals, full cargo. There is the usual stock
of lumber in the yards at the mills in the Province of Quebec, but the
demand is not equal to the supply.

There is a very large quantity of rossed and peeled pulpwood
in the environments of Quebec and outlying districts, along the line
of the Transcontinental Railway, the Intercolonial and the Grand
Trunk and Lake St. John Railways of the Canadian National Rail-
Ways Systems, as well as the Quebec Central Railway waiting pur-
chase and shipment to the pulp and paper mills. The movement of
_this wood to the United States market is slow on account of the short-
age of railway freight cars, and the Canadian-owned railways prohibi-
tion in regard to Canadian cars crossing over to the United States,
and there held for an indefinite period. Speaking of this situation
to Quebec pulp shippers, they say they do not blame the Canadian
railways for it is to their knowldege that, when pulpwood is shipped
to and arrives at the United States paper mills, convert the cars to
their own use, fill them up with paper and forward same to their cus-
tomers in every section of the country.

The Quebec correspondent of the “Canada Lumberman” was in-
formed by a Quebec exporter of pulpwood that American railway
cars that be procured from United States Railways provided the
Canadian shippers or their consignees were prepared to submit to
talk of graft. He said he was recently told in Montreal that a cer-
tain man in that city representing an American Railway superintend-
ent, was prepared to secure a supply of American cars to move Cana-
dian freight for a gratuity of $5 per car, and that this graft was shar-
ed by the Montreal man and the American railway superintendent.

_ The story is worth investigation, but no doubt if one was started

the Quebec dealer would give out the information in his possession

_ that would lead to exposure.

, The Quebec paper and pulp mills are well equipped with pulp-
wood at the present. The continuous rain and swollen rivers have
been a great assistance in driving the cut from the limits to the mills.
The Donnacona Pulp and Paper Mills, situated thirty miles from the
the line of
the Canadian Northern Railway, are particularly fortunate in this
respect. The company have been very successful with their supply
- of wood this year and now have from eighty to ‘ninety thousand
cords at their mills. The Jacques Cartier River was crowded
with logs reecntly, being driven down to these mills, due to the
recent heavy falls of rain, which have proved to be a veritable bon-
anza to the Donnacona interests.
A number of rumors are heard these days in Quebec in regard
_ to the building of new paper mills and activities of the Lord North-

cliffe agents in offering to purchase limits in the province, but until _

the information communicated to your correspondent is authenticat-
ed it is preferable to treat the same as mere rumors. This, however,
is vouched for a certainty and that is the Laurentide Pulp & Paper
Co. of Grand Mere, are negotiating: for property in the vicinity of

- Cap Rouge, ten miles from Quebec, by the River St. Lawrence,

' where they propose building a pulp mill. The Grand Mere mills
are operated by the company’s own waterpower, and it is said that

Mr. Stephen Grogan, well known to the trade, and Mark Kaine,

son of Hon. J. C. Kaine, have suddenly made their appearance in the
lumber business arena. They recently acquired a large interest in
a mill at Campbellton, N. B., and now have started to build a 3

pulpwood. Another young man of Quebec, who entered into the
ber business some two years ago, Mr. John Irving, has built <

Getting Out After the Farm Trade

Retail Lumbermen Should Personally Visit Rural Customers
and Offer Helpful Hints to Them

By Arthur Lynn

Most people the world over are holding back, or going slowly
in the building line, waiting for better times they say, with lower
priced material and cheaper labor. How long do they intend to wait?
The would-be prophets, consulters of the ouija board, predict a col-
lapse of prices in the very near future, but these same people if asked
to consider a smaller salary, with prices of commodities lower would
shudder at the suggestion. They are not the only unconscious hypo-
crites; we all are, more or less, inclined in that direction. We are
tasting big money, talking millions instead of thousands, This uni-
verse is advancing in thought and high values are naturally remain-
ing in our midst as we mount even higher in our financial and in-
dustrial careers.

True, values may fall but are we to go on year after year wait-
ing for rock bottom bargains which may never be witnessed in this
generation? Building has been curtailed in the last four years but
is now striking its stride again in many parts of the Dominion. The
farmers especially have been held up during the past few years in
their structural and remodelling plans but are now forced to make
many alterations not only in their barns, out-houses and machine
sheds, but in dwelling houses. A new verandah is needed perhaps;
the summer kitchen is intended to be replaced this summer and many
other small repairs such as new flooring, built-in cabinets and side-
boards, and a new door here and there. The family is growing and
the farmer is becoming more prosperous and he finds the house must

_ be up-to-date and more attractive to entertain the visitors of the

younger folks. Perhaps a son coming home from overseas is tipping
his dad off to some new ideas he has run across in his travels. A
new motor car will in all probability require a garage or an exten-
sion made on one of the implement sheds, which will in most cases
be constructed of lumber. The fence is always a big proposition to
the farmer requiring a certain amount of lumber regardless of what-
ever kind it may be.

It will pay the dealer to become more friendly with the farmer
in view of the extensive lumber he will absorb in his proposed build-
ing. A trip through your district and a talk with the farmer him-

_ self on the various interesting topics of the day, especially his lum-

ber requirements, will place you in a far more advantageous posi-
tion than letting him look for a merchant.* Attractive illustrations
of houses showing different designs of verandahs and porches with
interior views of hardwood flooring, etc., rarely fail to interest a

man that before was not quite sure of making these alterations and

additions.

Little visits through the rural districts like this will perhaps lead
to contracts that you cannot afford to lose. Someone has got to sup-
ply it and the man who gets on the ground first and puts it in the
most attractive manner will get the “business. Combine it with a
pleasure trip and take your family along and show the farmer you
are looking for honest business which will benefit both his interests
and your own. Many improvements are postponed because the far-
mer is too busy to go after prices and estimates, but if they are placed
before him while seated in his own living room, he will without a
doubt be more than interested.

A very interesting method employed by a California lumber
dealer was that of mailing to all the farmers in his district a leaflet
showing how much lower ‘the percentage of depreciation in machinery
By showing the farmer
where he will make money in using lumber to good adv antage is
always a good argument and a true one.

Another effective advertisement by a lumber dealer was the offer-
ing of a prize in a country school for the best essay on “Thrift,” re-
ferring especially to owning your own home and the advantages
obtained by remodelling the old ones so as to make them attractive
on inside as well as improving the outer appearance, This proved
to be a great strike as the children naturally discussed the essay and
asked the opinion of the parents at home. This was not an expen-
sive venture by any means and was readily granted by the school
master who helped the pupils in the advertising campaign.

Lumber dealers, who have built up a flourishing business con-
nection with the farmer did not merely sell and deliver the material ;
they found out what use the lumber was being put to and then sup-
plied some practical suggestions in an entirely voluntary capacity,

‘such as a better ventilating system for the new barn; a good plan for

the garage; how the farmer can save money constructing his new
machine shed. .In whatever line of construction he is contemplating

, : ny :
suggestions of this sort will always be more than Veneer’ Many
farmers are not too well versed in the building line and if the dealer
helps him in a friendly way by showing him where he can economize ~
in different ways the farmer will feel confident that he is not being
taken in and will come again and tell his neighbors and friends of
a practical lumber merchant.

How and Where Can They be Learned?

What is salesmanship? /
How and where can it be learned?

The detailed answers to these questions would fill many la
volumes, but the general answers would go into the notebook

ness, says the “Gulf Coast Lumberman.”

This is just as true of the professional field as it is of the commercial
field. The doctor, for instance, who ranks highest with the mode :
patient is no longer the most talkative, the most complimentary, the

fe
most agreeable, the best-known about the town. He talks | 3 A
he even prescribes less. And one reason why it is so difficult to be Pe

C. M. C. NO. 105 HEAVY MEDIUM PLANER AND MATCHER
: Hol 15” x 16”

OUR NO. 105 HEAVY MEDIUM PLANER AND MATCHER is not a

, strictly fast feed machine. It is not intended to be used in conjunction with

rs an automatic feeding table but it wil! dress stock smoothly as fast as it can

be fed by hand. The maximum feed is 110 ft. per minute which rate of hand

feeding cannot be maintained for any length of time by even the strongest

man. In other words it is just the machine that the average large planing

Be | ‘mill requires, being of sufficient strength and capacity but not excessively high

5 in cost.

“Se aie - DOUBLE END TENONER.—We have placed upon the market a new and

VIRGIN ORE

When Elias C. Atkins began making saws
’way back in 1857 he realized that no steel
manufacturer had at that time the correct
formula for making as high a grade of steel
as he determined to use in /is saws.

Being an expert metallurgist he prepared
his formula, which was based on Virgin Ore
This formula contained many important ele-
ments that stamped it as the best that had
ever been used. Experiments were carried
on day by day and month after month, and
after a long interval success was achieved—
thus “Sterling Quality” saws were born.

This steel—Atkins exclusive formula—has
the quality of receiving a hard, tough tem-
per, stiff and firm; a quality that takes a
keen, sharp cutting edge—a quality as fine
as the material in high grade razors—that’s
“Sterling Quality” and it’s not too good for
Atkins Saws.

“Sterling Quality” Saws—made from Vir-
gin Ore—are known the world over, and the
constantly growing demand demonstrates
their quality.

Have you Atkims Saws?
Write for literature!

In a Goodhue Belt you get only the best leather with the stretch
taken out of it. A Goodhue Belt will always run evenly and
‘‘clings” to the pulley transmitting 100% of your power

For the wet places in the mill we have a special waterproof leather
belt—‘‘Acme.” Other Goodhue Belts are ‘‘Extra’” and ‘‘Standard’”’ recommended according to
the conditions under which the belt has to run.

Goodhue Belts stretch less than any other belt by 15 to 25 per cent.

Seven Points to Remember
About the “‘Bell’’

It is oil burning.

It is operated by one man.

It has 50 % greater tractive power than the direct
connected locomotive of equal weight.

Its construction is simple, strong and compact.

It is free from frequent repairs.

There are no sparks to fly out. _

All parts are interchangeable and kept in stock for
immediate delivery.

Specifications

Our new Double Edger is built on entirely new lines, and
possesses many features that commend it to mill men. The
saving in material alone will soon pay for the machine. The
output of a mill with this nrachine can be increased by one-third.
It is best adapted for medium-sized or portable mills that cut
from 5,000 to 25,000 feet of lumber per day.

SAWS—This Edger is fitted with either two or three saws
as required. The saws are 16 in. in diameter, and 10 in. gauge. .
The greatest distance between saws is:—Two saw machines, 24

in.; three saw machine, 20 in., the least distance between saws,

2 in.
DRIVE PULLEY—The Drive Pulley is 9 in. x 9 in., afford-
ing a good belt grip, and is supported by an outside bearing.

SAW ARBOR—The Saw Arbor is made of 2% in. steel, and _

qas very wide bearings.

Speed Up Your Output
with

“Bell” Oil Burning
Geared Locomotives

Owners very often speak of their “Bell” Locomotives as
“Little Giants.” They have found these sturdy engines cap-
able of hauling tremendous loads and to negotiate sharp
curves and steep grades with apparent ease.

This is due of course to their superior design and construc-
tion—the work of highly skilled engineers whose training
embraced a practical knowledge of the lumberman’s require-
ments.

All that a Good Saw Gumming
Wheel Should Be—Plus

N a sentence is summed the features of

the Aloxite Saw Gumming Wheel.

Clean, cool, fast cutting, it does its work
so well that it has become the standard
in hundreds of mills, big and little.

It is a wheel that you can trust your saws to. It
holds its shape, stands up to the work without fre-
quent dressing—saves on wheel costs—saves time—
keeps the saws on the job.

Make Saws Cut
| And Planers Hum

Your saws may be well filed, swaged nicely and
rounded perfectly, but unless your mill’s belting is cor-
rect you do not get an honest day’s work from your
machinery.

You will find potential assistance and an increased
ae | output by using Graton & Knight Standardized Series
| ee ore Leather Belting. This series is composed of a number
q | of brands and types of belting standardized both in

; manufacture and application.

3 Why not avail yourself of the opportunity of calling
ae See inaG & K engineer and letting him analyze your power
F transmission. You incur no obligation for this service.
Your power transmission must be right if your produc-

tion is going to be right.

: 3 Every G & K Belt will give rugged service because

a it is built for this kind of service. Your saws will cut

ee: fe: and your planers will hum a real tune when your plant
| is standardized on G & K Leather Belting.

d Better Hose

—and Goodyear Built It

OODYEAR Industrial Hose is

built to meet modern industrial
needs. Built as though hose had
never been built before.

Breaking away from accepted but
antiquated methods of hose building
created Goodyear Industrial Hose
—a hose that gives | ger, more
satisfactory service under present-
day industrial conditions, and costs
less in the end. fe

Water, Air Drill, Pneumatic Tool, Steam,
Fire Hose— Goodyear studied and created a
particular hose to meet the most exacting
standards of each of these.

In the case of Steam Hose, Goodyear has.

done away with the inconveniences due to

__wire-winding—a choked hose due to bent
wire, bulges and blisters under pressure; a

racked tube and weakened fabric; the incon-

enience of cutting into shorter lengths, the
utting of the hose by the wire.

Goodyear has made wire-winding on steam
hose unnecessary, by developing a hose fabric
strong enough to resist high pressure with-
out the addition of wire. Compounded an
inner tube capable of withstanding the effects
of high-pressure steam. Fitted the hose with
a tough, durable cover. Created a steam hose
that will meet the severe conditions under
which it is used—at a very low final cost.

Let a man trained by Goodyear in hose
problems call and explain them to you. No
obligation. Phone, wire or write the nearest
branch.

AUN

T HIS Stationary Cylinder, Steam
Nigger effects a tremendous

saving where logs have for-

merly been handled by hand, by fric-
tion or the old fashioned oscillating

niggers.

Possessing all the good qualities of the } |
oscillating type, it has many others to
commend its use. In the first place it
occupies less space, there being no
horizontal bar to come in the way of
feed ropes, or conveyors. Second: the
cylinder being stationary, permits all
piping to be rigid, and allows lever
connections between valves and lever,
to be installed without any lost mo-
tion, thus guaranteeing the sawyer per-
fect control of the entire machine. The
working strain instead of coming on
the cylinders, heads and trunions,
comes on the heavy cross heads and
slides, removing all strains from the
joints, and for this reason requires a-
minimum amount. of packing. This
will be appreciated, as with the oscil-
lating type, there are always leaky
joints, which are hard to keep tight. .
Third: the machine is much more

self contained than the oscillating type,

there being no jumping or rocking of

the machine, when in motion. The

two upright timbers, used to support

the cylinders and slides, have a ten-

dency to stiffen the mill at a weak

point, and prevent the tooth bar from

pounding the carriage track timbers E

out of alignment.

he om

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

The hardest worked employee in the ordinary

Saw Mill 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,
- he has to put through a much larger number of
them. |

Every cut makes necessary a new adjustment of

the log, which, in the absence of our Steam Set

Works, is accomplished by a long throw of the hand

lever. Before the end of his day’s labor, the setter

is usually exhausted. In many mills, the setter, be-
cause 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, mak-
ing the labor of the setter so much less arduous that
he can do a full day’s work. He is also enabled to set
logs more quickly, thus increasing the number of

. cuts that can be made in a given time; and the lum-

ber produced is materially improved in quality and
regularity. Instead of the sawyer being kept wait-
ing for the setter—the usual condition in ordinary
saw mills—the reverse is true, and the setter is usu-
ally 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 capa-
city of the mill depends mainly on the speed with
which the logs are handled, the importance of an
appliance which will shorten the time required to
move logs into position 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 ma-
chine by mill men.

campaign. Much timely information is presented on how to carry
out these laudable undertakings.

Some terse observations are given on the home situation which
the retail lumberman might embody in his talks to customers and his
publicity plans. Here are a few of the epigrams that stand out dis-
tinctly :

“The ‘For Rent‘ sign has taken its place in many cities with the
Dodo bird and other extinct features of by-gone days. With the de-
parture of the ‘For Rent’ signs has come overcrowding of cities, at-
tended by the evils of bad housing and industrial unrest. Every em-
ployer knows these conditions spell costly labor turnover, reduced
efficiency of workers and increasing overhead charges. Production
necessarialy is shortened and a train of industrial evils follows.

- “A community of home owners is the ideal community. Such a
happy condition makes for prosperity and contentment. The stability
of the entire social and industrial fabric of the country revolves around
the home.

“Any causes which restrict the opportunity for home owning
strike at the foundations of modern industrial life. Workers who are
not home owners are more easily subject to all the cross currents of
unrest and radicalism. They lack the stamina and conservatism that
home owning gives. They are constantly shifting.
what this costs industry.

“Unfortunately, the present-day conditions have tended to re-_
strict home owning. Perhaps it would be too much to say that inade-
quate housing is at the bottom of the present industrial unrest, but
no one can doubt it has been a large, determining factor.”

Keeping Aright Natural Resources

The Province of Quebec is generally admitted to have adopted
a most progressive policy in matters relating to lumber. The pro-
vince has been fortunate in having of late years Ministers of Lands
and Forests who, although without technical knowledge, have taken
into council men who know the needs of the lumber, pul» and paper
industries. The government has recognized that Quebec has in its
lumber resources one of the most important sources of wealth, and
that these need conserving. The result of this recognition is seen —
in the co-operation with the limit holders in adopting means to
guard the forests from fires, and also in legislation which protects —
the limit owner who spends large sums in the prevention and ex-
tinction of fires from the neglect of adjoining owners who refuse to
take proper precautions,

We need only briefly refer to the legislation which laid, the |
foundation stone of the ever-expanding pulp and paper industries. x
Had it not been for the law which restricts the export ef pulpwood |
from Crown Lands we should not be in the position of being the |
owners of the finest pulp and paper plants in the world. We should, |
indeed, have continued to supply the raw materials for these indus- ll
tries ad allowed others to benefit from the profits w hich attach to
the manufacture of those materials into the semi- -finished products.
The advance made in this direction was made easier by the enlight-
ened policy of the Government in the matter of water powers, en-
abling manufacturers to obtain a cheap and abundant supply of |
electrical power.

To Sir Lomer Gouin, who lately resigned the Premiership, must —
be accorded the chief credit for these progressive policies. The Hon.
L. A. Taschereau, who now. fills that position, has made it clear that
he will not depart from the policy of his predecessor. In a speech at
Quebec he outlined his programme. We cannot do better than
quote his remarks on the subjects which interest our readers. They
indicate that the work of reforestation which has been taken by the
government, is to-be expanded, and that in other directions measures
will be taken to conserve the forest wealth and to develop the in-
dustries which are dependent upon the timber resources.

“The first article of my programme aims at continuing with vig-
or the bountiful policy of my predecessor, to develop it as much

as it will permit, to enlarge and complete it accordingly as
arises.
“And first of all will be a jealous care and rigorous conseryation |

48 CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

There are two big questions agitating the mind of the Canadian
public—

Shall we buy Made-in-Canada goods ?

Shall we continue to protect Canadian manufacturers ?

Let us reason the thing out.

The sentiment of the Canadian people undoubtedly shouts “yes”
to both questions.

But sentiment, to live, must be reciprocated.

What happens ?

Foreign demand comes in. Higher prices are offered to the
manufacturers. The home market is neglected. Those who would
buy Canadian-made goods cannot get them because they are being
supplied to foreign countries.

Or the price, protected by the tariff, is made prohibitive.

The manufacturer forgets about sentiment.

The home consumer is “sore.”

It’s a poor rule that won’t work both ways.

What happens next ?

The consumer goes without or buys foreign goods—partly from
necessity, partly because he feels that the so-called sentiment is one-
sided.

And he pays duty.

Why should I pay duty

“To protect the manufacturer who is making Canadian goods

“And then neglects the Canadian market?

“Let’s reduce the tariff.”

If

The Canadian manufacturer expects the Canadian people to be
loyal to him—

which need fire protection. For some time big white birds have been

tion posts equipped with wireless telegraphy.

hovering over them.

“The time has come, it appears to us, to regularize the cutting
on limits by fixing a maximum of the annual cut to prevent the
destruction of the forests, and a minimum to stop speculation and to
assure us a reasonable revenue from the cutting rights. Reforesta-
tion should be immediately undertaken and encouraged with energy.

“IT am giving you a few of the plans which are dear to the heart
of the Minister of Lands and Forests. Not only will he send young
engineers to study forestry science in Europe, but he is thinking of
creating a paper school and a school for the cutters and forest
rangers.”

Saw Mill Waste for Paper
Writing to the “Manufacturers Record,’ G. W. Soule, of Meri-
dian, Miss., scouts the idea that there is any shortage in the United
States of material for the manufacture of paper. He claims that the
waste (so-called) from logging operations and the production of
lumber is sufficient to manufacture all the paper needed.

e

He speaks particularly of the parts of the pine trees left in the
woods, the sawdust from the sawing of lumber and the shavings
from the planing mills, and says that, of course, pine is not the best
wood for paper stock; but goes on to say that there is an immense

_ quantity of small gum, bay, cottonwood, etc., all of which is the

best paper stock, all over the South.

Publishers of newspapers know that during the past few years
the prices for paper have advanced 200 per cent. or more, and they
have been impressed with the idea that the supply of paper-making
wood is becoming so scarce that these prices were inevitable.

The Forest Products Laboratory at Madison, Wis., has conduct-
ed many experiments to determine the paper-making qualities of
many woods, and it seems likely that that institution would have
discovered this inexhaustible source of supply if it were available.

These woods may contain the qualities which make them pos-
sible sources for a supply of paper; but publishers are interested in
the production of news print and the higher grades of paper such
as are used in the publication of magazines and books. And, if pine,
eum bay, cottonwood and many other woods are not suitable, the

Manufacturers—What of the Tariff ?

He must be loyal to them.

He must see to it—

That the home market is supplied first,

That the home price is based on cost of production,

And not on foreign demand,

Nor on the protection the tariff gives him.

Without doubt, the majority of Canadian manufacturers have
been four-square with their old customers, but the average citizen
sees only the “pirate.” We all admit the existence of this species.
He has ignored customers of long standing and sets prices not justi-
fied by costs.

A case in point:

It has been brought to our attention that a certain industry has
been exporting eighty per cent. of its output to the United States.
Further, the finished product for which it also supplies raw materials
is sold in the United States at a lower price than the same product
is sold to Canadians—by more than the amount of the duty. Further
still—a combine makes it impossible for Canadians to buy in the
States at the lower price.

The question is:

Shall we allow the “pirate” to wreck Canada’s industries ?

He must be curbed—it goes without saying.

Otherwise the people of Canada will accept him as typical of
the manufacturing industry.

They will demand a removal of the tariff,

Throw sentiment to the four winds,

And buy in the cheapest and easiest market.

‘When the Dominion government gets around to the tariff ques-
tion, the “Canada Lumberman and Woodworker” may have some-
thing further to say.

problems of the publishers, who use the bulk of this kind of paper,
are no nearer solution than before.

A new edition of a map of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
giving the number of quarter-sections available for homestead entry
in each township with the boundaries and offices of government land
agencies has been issued by the Natural Resources Intelligence
3ranch of the Department of the Interior. This new edition clearly
indicates all railways, forest reserves, parks and Indian reserves,
also-the land which has been reserved for soldier settlement purposes.
The importance of the new edition at the present time is apparent
to prospective settlers, offitials of banks, railway companies and land
agencies, in fact everyone interested in the development of land in
the Western provinces. A copy of this publication which is known
as the “Small Land Map of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta,”
may be obtained free of charge by applying to the Superintendent
of the Natural Resources Intelligence Branch of the Department of
the Interior, at Ottawa.

Public-spirited lumbermen in Canada and the United States are
not opposed to a forest policy. They recognize that both national
and industrial welfare demand early development of an aggressive
forest policy which shall substitute for indifference and accident an
intelligent, practical, equitable, and concerted program for the per-
petuation of the forests: The members of the National Retail Lum-
ber Dealers Association of Chicago recently enumerated:

That growing future timber crops must be largely
though by no means wholly, a Government and State fune-
tion;

That Government and States should be permitted to

condemn any deforested land classified as suitable, chiefly
for forest growing and pay for it at prices comparable to—

those paid in voluntary transaction; yg :
That land classification and studies should be under- 5

taken jointly by industry, States and Government; a,

That the Forest Service should be the recognized leader
of public forestry thought and effort along general lines;

That wise conservation requires the determination of
better methods of waste prevention and of utilization of the
forests we already have;

That a successful forest policy means much more than
tree-growing. It means confidence and security in every
legal and commercial phase, to industry and public alike.

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 2°

Retailers Ramble Through Northern Ontario

Annual Educational Trip Marked by Large Attendance, Splendid Welcome and
Successful Fishing—Many Points Visited—Fine Timber and Busy Sawmills

The retail lumber dealers of Outario have held many annuuai
outings, but the oné which took place from July 29th to August 2nd
throughout the North Bay district stands forth as the peer of all
pilgrimages from an educational, recreational, scenic and every other
viewpoint. ;

About 75 distributors of wood products from various parts of
the province, as far west as Chatham and as far east as Ottawa,
participated in the trip and will long remember its delightful associ-
ations and pleasant pursuits. The lumber manufacturers of Callan-
der, Trout Mills, Cache Bay, and North Bay and the Sturgeon Falls
Division of the Spanish River Pulp & Paper Mills, did everything
possible to entertain and instruct the visitors. Every one returned
with a larger conception of the vastness and importance of Northern
Ontario, its fertility of soil, its agricultural, mining, lumbering,
transportation and water power facilities, and above all fully realiz-
ing the outstanding urgency, economic consideration and national
aspect of the French River scheme, which would provide not only
unlimited “white coal” for the north but would in many other ways
help to link up the west and east of the Dominion.

Northern Ontario is rich and varied in resources and marvel-
lous are the products that can be grown with gratifying results.
The vast territory has only touched. the fringe of prosperity and
development. With every encouragement in the way of substantial
grants for good roads, the construction of “The French River—a
natural waterway” and the development of the many waterpowers
now unharnessed, there is no reason why this great inland empire
should not expand along many other avenues as rapidly as it has in
the pulp and paper arena. Twenty-five years ago there was not a pulp
paper mill of any description in this spacious hinterland. To-
day there are half a dozen towns which are busy, flourishing centres,
and judging from present indications, many more industries in this
line will be placed on the map within the next two or three years.

But this is not a story of the French River, Northern Ontario,
its splendid potentialities nor the magnificent future which awaits that
portion of the province, neither is it a record of the progress which
has been made in the past and achievements effected in the face ot
many obstactes, but rather is it a running report of what the retail
lumbermen saw and did during five days’ absence from their respec-

tive towns.

No attempt is made in this edition to set forth the special time
and labor-saving features, history, systems, equipment and process-
es employed in the various saw mills inspected. These will be pre-
sented at considerable length and with valuable illustrations in the
annual Camp and Supply Number of the “Canada Lumberman”
which will be published on Sept. Ist. In the present edition an out
line is given of the points visited and what the retailers of wood
goods did from day to day in the way of sightseeing, motoring, sail-
ing, feasting, fishing and exploring.

The Arrival at North Bay

Arriving at North Bay the sojourners made their headquarters
at the Pacific and Queen’s hotels and about ten o’clock set out in
automobiles provided by the town and its enterprising citizens and
lumbermen to Callander, nine miles south-east. This is a busy place
with two busy mills. The first plant visited was the Callander Saw
Mills, owned by A. B. Gordon & Co., where an hour was pleasantly
spent and the guests conducted all over the mill and yards. The mill
is being painted and the surroundings are neat and well laid out.
The officials of the company gave the sightseers a warm welcome.
On the route to Callander the attractive summer homes near Lake-
view Park on Lake Nipissing, belonging to Duncan McLaren, of the
Union Lumber Co., Toronto, and A. B. Gordon, Toronto, were pass-
ed.

At noon the members of the party along with several leading
citizens of Callander and North Bay were entertained to luncheon
at the summer home of James H. Smith of John B. Smith and
Sons, Limited, who is the manager of the company’s operations at
this point. W. J. Smith, of Toronto, president of the company, was
also present and joined in the welcome along with severail ladies,
who waited upon the tables which were laden with viands of the
most tempting character. The luncheon was admirably arranged
and too much praise cannot be bestowed on the firm of their kind-
ness and hospitality. Full justice was done to the excellent repast,
previous to which the visitors were photographed on the lawn.

C. R. Harrison, M.P., North Bay, on behalf of the citizens of
that district spoke of the pleasure which it gave them to we'come

he was a railway man, and had been one all his life, he recognized

the worth and extent of the great finiber industry of Canada and
the men who were engaged in it. They dealt in the finished product
and had built up large plants employing thousands... He hoped that
legisiation would be introduced by parliament to restrict further
the export of pulpwood from the country, which would result in the
building up of more mills in the Dominion,

Dr. J. B. McDouga!ll, of North Bay, assistant chief inspector of,
schools, Department of Education, also extended greetings to the
guests and dwelt eloquently upon the importance of the French
River improvement plan and what it would do not only for Northern
Ontario but all the cities of the province, in the way of transporta-
tion, lessened freight rates, industrial and agricultural development.

Mayor John Ferguson, of North Bay, and W. J. Smith, of To-
ronto, followed with expressions of goodwill and hearty salutations,
which were suitably acknowledged by John B. Reid, of Toronto,
president of the Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association, who
was in a happy vein. His. sprightly remarks put all in good humor
as he told of the progress of the organization, its aims and objects,

After the dinner the mill of John B. Smith and Sons was toured
and all the members of the party given a ride on flat cars behind
one of the locomotives of the firm throughout the extensive yards.
There are some nine miles of tracks and sidings belonging to the
company.

The Route to Trout Mills

The lumbermen re-entered the waiting fleet of automobiles
and were conveyed to North Bay and then’ three miles east of the

town to Trout Mills on Trout Lake where the plant of William ~

Mile and Sons is located. There they saw some of the finest and
largest white pine logs, which it has ever been their pleasure to
witness, being band sawed. .The operation of handling the huge
sticks was watched with much interest and favorable.comments
made upon the superior character of the timber, not only as to its
quality but also quantity. Wonder was depicted on the facial ex-
pression of the visitors, many of whom remarked that they did not ~
thing such monster sentinels of the forest were obtainable on any
limits in the province of Ontario.

The next order on the programme was back to North Bay for
the evening. This -was followed by an informal reception on the
grounds of Mayor John Ferguson, who has a spacious and attrac~

M stive home right in the centre of the town, the main street of which

is now being permanently paved. The Mayor’s property is the
site of the first house erected in North Bay. The members of the
Town Council, the Board of Trade, the Board of Educaation and

care of his losses when they came. Mr. Young hoped on their re-

2 -C. R. Harrison, M. P., spoke briefly telling of his first visit to
Cache Bay as a brakesman in the days when A. J. Young was Mayor
; ‘of the town. He touched upon the advance that had been made on
all sides:

* E. D. Jessup, Mayor of Cache Bay, who is now postmaster ot
that town, to which he came in 1885, extended hearty greetings on
behalf of the citizens and told of what Hon. Mr. Gordon had done

for the prosperity of the place.
ae No Culls in Retail Ranks

President John B. Reid spoke on behalf of the retailers and
thanked Senator Gordon for referring to them as the “uppers in the
- lumber business.” “There is not a cull among us” added Mr. Reid,

amid much laughter. ‘We take an annual trip and have always been
welcomed with open arms. Each year it would seem as if the
part of the manufacturers to entertain us could not be surpassed.
This is an educational tour with a moral aspect and we are living
up to our high reputation. ,No longer is the retail lumber dealer
looked upon with suspicion because he belongs to a progressive
organization like ours which has removed petty jealousies in our
ranks, raised the dignity and standard of our business and shown
‘ what co-operation and good. will can bring about in the way of
__ welfare and progress. Where will you find a finer body of men than
those gathered here today, all engaged in the same line of business
+ and meeting on a most friend!y footing. Our membership is grow-
ing rapidly and the ideas and ideals of the retail dedler have been
elevated with the result that better service and sounder and’ wiser
__ business methods are now in evidence among us.”
a Senator Gordon referred to ‘the investigation which had been
q conducted by the Ontario government in which it was sought to
__ cast aspersions on the conduct of the limit holders and the manufac-
turers of lumber. An attempt had been made to make the people
believe that they, the lumbermen, were dishonest. Personally he
was perfect. willing to have any man look into his books and exam-
ine all his business methods. He added that so far as his juris-

diction extended there was absolutely nothing that he had to be

sure the logs at the mill and then the product as it came from
the saws. In his career he had come in contact with many /umber-
men and they were all men of whom he was proud. The Senator
resented the imputation that they were dishonest or profiteers, and
that they had “got millions) for nothing or next to it.” He had been
in business at Cache Bay for twenty years and for a long period had
not slept, wondering where the next pay roll for his employees was
to come from. He could count on the fingers of his hands the num-
ber of lumber manufacturers who had survived in the struggle. The
few, who had succeeded had done so by applying themselves diligeni-
ly to business and by exercising industry, thrift, self-denial and fore-
sight, which had enabled them to overcome many obstacles (ap-
pause). ;

The gathering broke up with cheers for Mr. Gordon, Cache Bay
and the ladies.

The Trip to Sturgeon Falls

Motors were once more taken and that active pulp and paper
centre, Sturgeon Falls, three or four miles east of Cache Bay was
next on the itinerary. An evergreen arch spanned the main ‘en-
trance to the hustling town and bore the magic words “Welcome
O. R. L. D. A.” A. Kavanaugh, superintendent of the Sturgeon
Falls industries of the Spanish River Pulp and Paper Co., which
employs seven hundred persons at the Falls, welcomed the guests to
the town on behalf of the company. Civic greetings were extended
by His Worship Mayor James Lillie. .

The party divided into groups of ten and for two hours were itis: |
the hands of competent and courteous guides who explained every .
process of converting the spruce logs into pulp and paper from the —
slasher to the finishing room. The. trip was full of interest and |)
many revelations were afforded the guests, not a few of whom had |
never seen chemical or ground wood pulp or newsprint in the pro- |)
cess of manufacture. There are two kinds of wood pulps, one known

as ground or mechanical and the other as chemical. The first is the
cheapest, and is used chiefly for making newsprint and wrapping
paper.. Spruce wood is most commonly used because it is cheap and
gummy, the ‘latter quality being valuable in that it adds much to
the tenacity of the material made from the pulp. Chemical wood
pulp is made by cutting up spruce and poplar logs into small chips,
which are then placed with a liquid preparation in huge tanks to
be digested.
From Spruce to Newsprint
.? After going through every portion of the various units the party
~ adjourned to a local theatre where an eight reel film was shown en-
titled “From Spruce to Newsprint,” all the views being taken from

After witnessing the picture of the conversion of spruce into
paper, the lumbermen were regaled at luncheon in the club room
____ which is for the benefit of the employees. Here a spread, both tempt-
ing and varied, was partaken of by all. Supt. Kavanaugh presided

Senator Gordon, A. J. Young, Frank Kent, (Toronto); Theo Le-

_ they were assembled, was on the site of the old portage of the Hud-
son’s Bay Company and that the first white child in the Nipissing

district was born at Sturgeon Falls.

Senator Gordon, in his remarks, said that the newspaper’ pub-
lishers were themselves largely to blame forthe present high cost
of paper by seeking to have the Federal authorities arbitrarily con-
trol the price. The press had not given the newsprint manufactur-
ers a square deal. The publishers had sought regulation and price
fixing of the product during the war. The result was that large con-
cerns, which had contemplated extensions, had not gone on with
the undertakings owing to capital hesitating, and interference with
the natural economic law of supply and demand. The outcome was

Fishing and Camping at the Falls

The lumbermen were escorted to the C. P. R. station and le Ly
on the evening train for North Bay, with the kindliest feeling for
the people of Cache Bay and Sturgeon Falls. :

On Sunday morning the steamer Northern Belle plying be-
tween North Bay and Chaudiere Falls was taken for a thirty-four
mile sail across Lake Nipissing and up the majestic French
River, the scenic beauties of which are impressive. Capt. A. Mc--
Kinney of the Northern Belle looked well after the comfort of his
passengers and arriving at the Alabama hotel, at Chaudiere Falls,
the party disembarked and enjoyed a refreshing dinner early in the
afternoon. Capt. J. A. Clark is the proprietor of the Alabama hote
which was opened up for the-occasion, having been closed since aes
war but blankets, provisions and everything needful for a coupl ne
days rest and fishing were provided. Here the majority of the boys

The champion fisherman of the party was F. W. Bryan, of the
Bryan Mfg. Co., Collingwood. He caught a black bass which tipped
the beam at 334 lbs. The second largest specimen landed was by
Horace Boultbee, secretary of the Association. His capture weigh-
ed 3% lbs. The aggregate of the first day’s catch by the many an-
gers in the party was 103 fish, consisting chiefly of black and rock
bass, with a sprinkling of pickerel and pike. ‘ae
One of the interesting points passed on
Chaudiere Falls was the habitation of the Solid Comfort Fishing
Club, about three miles east of Chaudiere Falls. This club, which
has been established for years, consists of about 150 members, prin-
cipally residents of Pittsburgh, who make their summer home in
Northern Ontario, where they have admirable sleeping quarters and
every convenience to make life pleasant.
Mayor John Ferguson, of North Bay, is what the American
“doughboys” would term a “reg’lar, fellow.” He was on the job
all the while and accompanied the retailers on their trip to Chaudiere
Falls where he spent two days with them and was never weary in
looking after the comfort and welfare of the members of the party.
Mayor Ferguson is one of the leading citizens of North Bay, where
he has large property holdings and has always taken a lively in-
terest in the progress and development of Northern Ontario. The
retail lumbermen voted him as being the livest wire in the whole
aggregation, and if His Worship ever aspires for federal parliamen-
tary honors, a seat in the Canadian Senate or any other exalted posi-
tion, he wil! have the hearty endorsation and undivided support of
the lumber merchants of Ontario. a el
While the lumbermen were at North Bay Hon. Arthur Meighen,
the new Canadian Premier, passed through on the C. P. R. on his way
to the West. John B. Reid, president of the O. R. L. D. A., and
Horace Boultbee, secretary, were invited by C. R. Harrison, M. P.,
of Nipissing, to join the Premier, which they did and rode in his

While he was not successful in catching any big fish, the
most unique capture of the day was a large-sized porcupine which

: Some Navigation and Power Facts

The following data in reference to the French River improve- |
ment will be perused with interest: |

The Government has completed exhaustive surveys, prepared
detailed p'ans and revised estimates, making possible immediate re: —
sumption of the work upon which has already been expended a con-~
siderable portion of the appropriation of $500,000 in the construction
of Chaudiere Falls dam, which controls the water level of Lake Nip-
issing.

Lake Nipissing provides an immense summit reservoir with an
area of 320 square miles and has a total drainage area of 4,077 square
miles, largely consisting of forest. reserve.

Deep water protected harbors providing ample searoom for the 4
largest lake carriers exist on the northern shoreline of the lake at
Cache Bay, Sturgeon Falls, North Bay and Callander, and the three ~
transcontinental railway systems serving these points have acquired
‘niles of water frontage awaiting the completion of this waterway.

The inviting summer home of James H. Smith at Callander where the tour-
ing lumbermen were splendidly entertained

The distance from Georgian Bay to the deep water of Lake Nip- |)
issing is 49 miles, and the distance from Georgian Bay to North Bay &
+s 83 miles. If the canal work which occurs mainly at the lock ap-
proaches were combined it would total only three-quarters of a mile.
of actual canal work. The steamer trip will occupy about 9 hours. _
The depth of water will be 22 ft. over a surface of 350 ft. to 2,000 ft.
wide, with less curvature than St. Mary’s or St. Clair River. >
foot fall between Lake Nipissing |
and Georgian Bay; at these points a total of 35,394 electrical horse —
power will be made available, this being calculated on the regulated —
low water development, and takes no account of increased energy —
possibly by storage dams constructed on the various rivers empty- |
ing into Lake Nipissing.

The three locks are so designed as to permit of locking through
vessels up to 21 foot draft and 705 feet in length, thus accommodat-
ing the largest vessels on the Great Lakes. f 4

Dense fog is not only cause of delay but a menace to the safety —
of vessels on our Great Lakes. Georgian Bay, however, holds the
record for only four days per month, the still clearer atmosphere of
Lake Nipissing reducing this minimum to two or three days, at most,
per month.

The records show that Lake Nipissing is open to navigation
211 days each season without ice-breakers. Records by the Mon-
treal Harbor Commissioners show that the harbor is open 215 days
each season. Navigation on the French River waterway will open
earlier and will continue as late as, or even later than that on

“Sault” Canal. This is due to the control of lake levels through the
operation of the dams.

The report of Walter Shanly, C.E., on the entrance to the mouth
of the French shows it to be a suitable harbor’ entrance, and later
reports by other eminent engineers confirm this.

The still water reaches created by the three power dams elim-
inates the dangers to navigation met with in the three to five mile
currents prevalent in other navigable river stretches of the Great
Lakes systems.

The depth of the waterway will be 22 ft. and the average depths
of water at the grain elevators and coal docks of the Great -Lakes
correspond with this as follows: Buffalo, 21 ft.; Chicago, 21 ft.;

as ‘The contrast between American and Indian mills is so very mark-
ed that the writer takes up the subject with some reluctance, be-
se statements must be made that are bound to be controversial
unpalatable. There is no getting away from the fact that, meas-
ed either by British or by Western standards, Indian practice is
very much behind the times. ade

The term “Indian” is here used in its broad sense as referring
"to the Indian Empire as a whole. It is only right to mention that
there are differences between the various provinces. Owing to the
fact that the last twelve years of the writer’s ‘service have Deen

itself there is no hesitation whatever in stating that sawmills ma-
chinery is very out-of-date and inefficient in comparison with the
_ best modern practice in other parts of the world.
A striking example can readily be given. Bandsaws held the
__ field absolutely in North America for log sawing, and they are rapidly
coming to the front in Great Britain. In Burma there are believed to
- be none at all. Other provinces are more advanced, for one British
~ firm alone has supplied no less than twenty-five horizontal band-
mills to railway companies and to others.
Most of the sawmill machinery in India has come from homer
and it is only natural that this should have been the case originally.
But it is rather curious to note that, by continuing to get their sup-
plies from the source—after the industry has assumed large dimen-
~ sions—lumbermen in India have shown far too little desire to follow.

my) he inference that may be drawn from the preceding remark,
that British sawmill practice is totally different to Canadian and
_ American practice, is fully justified by fact. As the title of this book
implies, the greater part of it is taken up with a description of West-
ern practice. At the end of this chapter on sawmills some notes on
_ British practice are given. But it should be clearly understood that
they are only fragmentary. The writer did not have time to study
the matter in detail, and to describe it fully would require a good
sized volume. re
Quite recently, when I expressed surprise at finding Western
mill machinery so little used in England, an explanation was given
to me which seems quite reasonable. It was as follows: American
_ mills work faster than English ones and so they would be apt to dis-
locate business, for the supply of raw material (logs) would probably
run out. By being compelled to stand idle for longer periods the
mills would simply waste the time they saved.
Can such an argument be seriously advanced with regard to
India? Certainly not. With forests of such great extent that they

N AND WOODWORKER

Canadian Sawmills are Splendidly Equipped
Able Review of Methods Employed on ‘the American Continent as Contrasted with
Operations in Great Britain and India

By F. A. Leete, Imperial Forest Service, India

Western mills are primarily intended to reduce the amount of la-
bor, but the full benefit cannot be reaped from them unless the men
employed in the mill work well. There is no room for dilatoriness
or “taking things easy.” The lag carriage must travel fast; and
as soon as one log is finished, another must be ready for it. It is
the same throughout the mill.

Ordinary Mill Work is Mechanical

The writer is of opinion that the above consideration need not
be an effective bar to the use of Western machinery in sawmills in
India. As explained later one or two men requiring special quali-
fications are necessary, such as the filer and log sawyer, but for the
most part the work’ is mechanical and does not call for any violent
exercise of the muscles. The greater part of the work in mills and
lumber camps in the Southern States is done by colored labor, and
with good supervision, there is no reason why Indians and Burmans
should not prove equally satisfactory. Shorter hours are probably
indicated and if necessary, half-day shifts (i.e., doubling the labor)
could be resorted to. Even so, for the same output the total bill
for labor would be far below its present figure.

In concluding these introductory remarks the writer desires it

to be understood that they are chiefly based on the mills he is ac-
quainted with in Burma.

The General Design of Mills

Before going into details as to the design and equipment. of —

Western sawmills, it will be as well to make a few general remarks.
It is a comparatively simple matter to give a general idea of the
mills because they are all so very much alike. To anyone whose

knowledge of sawmill practice is confined to Europe it may come —

as a surprise to be told that there is only one type of lumber saw-

mill throughout the length and breadth of North American con-

tinent. There is nothing comparable to the diversity of design of
mills and of the machinery in them which is such a conspicuous fea-
ture,in England. All mills of any size and all permanent in char-

acter have such a strong family likeness that a careful study of one

modern mill would enable anyone to form a good idea of practice
in general.
hardwood and softwood mills, but these differences are only in the
outside arrangements for getting the logs into the mills. Inside. the
mill itself the sawing arrangements are just the same in both cases.

Once having satisfied himself of the correctness of the above state-

ments, an observer must at once realize how strongly this sim-
plicity of design speaks in favor of Western practice. Taking into
account the fact that milling in North America is carried out under
such a wide range of different conditions, both as to climate, scale

’ of operations and nature of the timber déalt with, there must be
. something superlatively good about modern mill design for it to
be so remarkably uniform, and simple in character, in spite of the

keenness of the competition of the large number of manufacturers
of machinery supported. by the industry, The keynote everywhere
is large output per machine and the free use of mechanical devices
for saving labor.
Bringing the Logs into Mill

A conspicuous feature of a mill for softwoods is the ,,mill pond”
into which the logs are discharged from the logging railways or
other source of supply. For a mill dealing with hardwoods which
will not float the pond is replaced by skidways, on to which the logs
are ralled from the railway cars, or placed by an overhead derrick.

The mill itself has at least two floors, and generally a third one.
shafting, etc., ison the ground floor,
so that the first or main floor is left entirely free for the operation
of the machines. As the majority of the mills in America are band-
mills, it is usual to find a third floor above the main floor to ac-
commodate the filing room. The latter only occupies part of the
floor space of the mill and-so it is customary to have in extension
of it a raised platform running the whole length of the building,
from which an excellent view can be obtained of all the operations
in the mill. In circular sawmills the filing room is generally placed
on the main floor.

To bring logs into the mill they have to be pulled up an incline.
In hardwood mills this incline often takes the form of a tramway
up which loaded cars are hauled through by means of an endless
shain provided with dogs or spikes. All that the attendent at the

lower end of the trough has to do is to pole the logs forward until:

they are firmly gripped by the dogs.

Inside the mill, a'tongside the trough or tramway as the case
may be, is a sloping platform known as the “log deck” leading down
towards the “log saw carriage.”

The Log Kicker and Nigger

To bring the logs from the trough on to the deck a contrivance
known as the “log kicker” is used. The operator by pulling a lever
causes two steel arms, worked by steam power to shoot forward
It then rolls down the
deck until held up by two quadrant shaped projections (“loader’’).
When the sawyer is ready to cut up another log he pulls a lever
which causes the quadrant to drop, .thereby allowing the log to

roll onto the carriage.

Every one in India knows how painfully slow a business it is
to turn a heavy or crooked log round on the log table, to get it into
It is true that in Western
sawmills very small logs are often turned round by hand, but the

universal practice for logs of any size in permanent milfs is to make

rising from the floor and operated by stearn.

A detailed description is given later on.of the log saw carriage.
Here it may suffice to mention that it is a much more elaborate piece
of mechanism than the p‘ain travelling steel table to be met with
in British and Indian sawmills. It is provided with automatic dogs

for holding the logs firmly in any desired position, and these dogs

can be instantaneously applied or released. The moving of the log
forward for successive cuts is not done by hand ‘levers but by means
of mechanism known as the setworks. For the proper placing of

_ tapered logs special levers are provided.

Mobility of Log Carriage
One of the remarkable things about the log carriage is its ex-

treme mobility. The mechanism provided for the purpose is won-

derfully elastic in operation, and I believe that it is far superior
to the general run of practice at home and in India. Full descrip-
tive notes are therefore given and I am optimistic enough to think

_ that careful perusal of these notes, and of the illustrated catalogues
of standard makers of machinery, will initself be sufficient to lead

the generality of millowners in India to feel desirous of overhauling
The matter has a very important bearing on mill out-
British mechanism for driving the carriage is positive, i.e.,
the speed cannot, as a rule, be varied without stopping, or at least
checking, the motion of the carriage. The result is, therefore, that
the speed of the carriage is as a rule much slower than it need be,
as it is turned down. to the slow speed necessary for occasional big
logs. In North America, on the other hand, the sawyer has abso-
lute contro!, and by means of a single lever he can instantaneously

_ change the speed from the slow rate required with a large or re-

fractory log to the racing speed at which the carriage is driven back-

ward. Knowing how elastic steam is it should appeal very power-

fully to an engineer to be to'd that the favorite form of feed in bet-
ter class mills is by direct steam, namely, either gun shot or twin
engine and rope.

Although the log carriage undoubtedly deserves its place in

popular estimation as the most important machine in the mill it

is also true that in respect of the other machines and mechanical
arrangements for handling timber the difference between British and

Western practice is very striking. No two British aie a are ali
in the way baulks, planks and slabs are dealt with after leaving: the
log saw; the machine is called upon to complete the conversion.

Edging and Trimming Operations r

On the other hand the standardizing of machine design as ap- 2
plied to Western sawmills is largely due to the universal: recogni- —
tion of two distinct stages after the rough lumber leaves the ix
Saw, viz. [ee

1. Squaring the long sides (edging)

2. Squaring the ends (trimming)

Special machines have been evolved which are simple in desig
and yet so wonderfully efficient that their operation is extremely fas-
cinating to watch, and their superiority to British machines for th .
same purpose cannot but be freely admitted. -

The first of these two operations is performed on a ma
known as the double edger, as it trims both long sides simulta
ously. It consists of two or more circular saws mounted on a
mon shaft in such a way that the distance between the saws can b
varied at will, The necessary adjustment is practically instantane-_
ous. The rough planks to be edged are placed in position by. hand —
and are carried forward by feed rolls. “tah

The method of performing the second operation, or irate oe
the ends of planks, depends on the size of the mill. In large mills
the trimming saws are mounted in gangs or rows at a fixed ale
apart, generally about a foot. The individual saws can be raised or
lowered independently of each other. A single operator controls |
the machine and by pulling levers, or by pressing keys as” the case —
may be, he can bring any two desired saws into position to bial
the end of any piece of wood passed endwise bélow them. —~

The Steady Supply of Material Sek
The log carriage, double edger and trimmer wou!'d not in. =
selves be sufficient to account for the efficiency of Western
mills. They are capable of doing so much work simply because a
the excellence of the arrangements for moving the timber from ‘ma-
chine in its passage through the mill. There is no carrying of wood —
about by hand, or piling on tramway trucks, as in British and in — 4
Indian mills. Such a practice would inevitably lead to congestion
and reduce the output. In Western mills as soon as each plank or 4
gv'ab is cut, it automatically moves forward to the next machine, — 4

either on rolls or on chain conveyors. Each machine, therefore, has :
a steady supply of material to operate upon, and correct design for
a mill is simply a matter of having the three types of mrachinies of
the right size each other of the desired class of sawing. : ‘
Lastly, in this general description it may be noted that ee talis.- es
and chain conveyors are not only freely used for passing the wood — §
from machine to machine and finally out of the mill alto wet. 3
conveyors are also used for s‘abs, refuse pieces and saw-dust. “There. j
is no removal of refuse and saw-dust by headloads in baskets. | What-
ever is required for the furnace goes direct to it in the convey 5 a

and the balance passes out to and is burnt in an incinerator. Bt mg

... Endless Variations in Detail 4 . :

Although all mills resemble each other in having log. deck, log ‘
carriage, edger, trimmer and conveyors, there are endless variations Fs
in details. In very small and temporary mills the steam. Kicker, |
loader, nigger and live rolls may be dispensed with and a single p
dulum cross-cut saw may have to do all the trimming. © Liver
large mills there may bé as many as four log saws and carriages.
In many mills bandsaws are supreme, but some operators still cling”
to big circular saws. For the sawing of planks band or circular
re-saws are installed in some mills, in others, vertical frame or gang
saws are preferred. Some operators burn all the slabs and small
stuff; others cut it into laths, shingles, box shooks, ete. ; in oe *
is no hard and fast line of division between lumber sawing now under ©
Sik. aie and manufacturing processes dealt with in a separate
chapter. ae

In the United States of America there are something ike’ 50,- :
000 lumber and manufacturing plants, ranging in size from. ae :
smallest of portable mills to the biggest of permanent ones. Ther cant
are a large number of manufacturers of sawmill machinery and t ey.
are always on the look out for something original, for some | ‘
provement to patent. It can, therefore, be readily understood that
there are a bewildering number of different designs to choose from.

All that I propose to do is to describe the general features «
each type. The principal makers publish profusely illustrated cata
logues which may well be carefully studied by anyone interested i in ee
the subject. I am indebted to manufacturers for many illustrations,
as very few good photographs of the interior of mills were taken in
a tour of the plants in Great Britain, Canada and the United

tates.

It might at first be thought that the vibration from heavy ma-— a

. masonry. walls are indeed exceptional. In the majority of
mills the only brickwork or concrete is in the foundations of the
_ posts and for the boiler and engine.

~The advantages of the two-storey plan are obvious.
all unimportant are the facilities afforded for getting rid of saw-
dust and refuse by means of chain conveyors working in troughs.

___-‘The term “portable mill” is rather elastic. It is usually applied
to any mill which is so small that it can easily be moved about, ir-
respective of the length of time it may be required at any one place.
From lack of attention to the latter point is is commonly supposed
that any kind of temporary or make-shift arrangements are good
ough for such mills. This is a mistake. A mill may be a small
e, but if it is to stay in one place for a long time it may as well
_ be set up to the best advantage, especially as it can supply the
necessary timber itself and very little additional expense on iron
_ work is required. For the above reason, I would suggest that the

double storey plan be adopted in India for any mills which may be
' expected to remain in one place for six months or more.

in the United States and Canada, together with notes on British
practice and suggestions for India, based on a tour of North Amer-
ica made ‘by Mr. Leete, who is in the Imperial! Forest Service in

Coating that Prevents End Checking

blanks, or veneer, will split and check at the ends during seasoning,
if drying is allowed to go on at a natural rate through the end grain.

Ree General Coniitions in Lumber Line

‘Tn the last issue the “Labor Gazette” of Ottawa gives the fol-
lowing interesting comment on the lumber industry in Canada from
_ coast to coast: The lumber mills at Charlottetown slowed down
_ during the month, the bulk of the lumber having been sawn during
early spring. Large quantities*of logs were brought down St. John
river for the various mills at Indiantown and Milford, and the saw
and shingle mills in St. John district were all busy. At Fredericton
the sawmills and rafting booms gave employment to large numbers
SR men. River driving at Bathurst was disappointing owing to low
water level. Quebec reported river driving nearly over in that dis-
ct, conditions having beem fair; outside sawmills all started their
season’s cut. The saw and shingle mills at Sherbrooke were busy,
and the logging camps were cutting and peeling pulpwood. The
sawmills at Ottawa and Hull continued busy. The lumber mills at
embroke ran full time; extra gangs were required for river driving
Ov ‘ing to low water. River drivers were still very busy in Peterbor-
jr only district, large quantities of logs being supplied to the sawmills
which were running to capacity; shingle and lath mills were also
very active. At Sault Ste. Marie lumber yards and planing mills
had a busy. month and bushmen were in demand. Edmonton reported

Do Not Buy Beyond Requirements

; In a letter to the trade under recent date, Julius Seidel, of the
Julius Seidel Lumber Co., St. Louis, says: ‘

“For some time I have been receiving personal requests from
customers for an expression in regard to conditions of the lumber
market, asking also for an opinion relative to buying. |

“T have always considered it unwise for a retail yard to buy be-
yond actual requirements. In these times, and especially now, stocks
can be reinstated very quickly from wholesale yards, in large con-
centrative centres, that carry the assortment. As a consequence the
retailer need not invest in certain articles until he makes an actual
sale and can also reduce stable items to a minimum. In short, ’tis —
better to buy what you need when you need it, at the market value
on the date of shipment. There are so many species of woods, grades
and sizes seeking a market, that it’s simply impossible for a retailer
to maintain a complete stock at all, get his turn over and make money ,
on his investment.

“What our country needs at present is stabilization and nothing ~
will so help to build up our finances as the reducing of stocks. It —
is our duty to help conditions. Cheerful statements are made that |
prices will come back to war-time levels. Personally, I doubt it. —
I do believe, however, that prices will gradually adjust themselves
to supply and demand. The demand will be for the peace time :
wants of our countdy.

“Every community, without a doubt, needs buildings and needs — |
them badly, but potent factors are delaying matters and we might |
as well adjust ourselves to actual conditions as they are for the time —
being.”

The Building Situation in England |

The British Government subsidy of 250 pounds or $1250 per ~

house, can be secured also for temporary wooden structures, pro- —
vided they cover not less than 700 square feet, reports the U. S. —
Consul at London, as quoted by the Bureau of Foreign and Domes- jf
tic Commerce. For the housing schemes, much English timber is —
being used, except for joinery purposes. Housing schemes in Great |
Britain are not yet sufficiently advanced for heavy quantities to be |
required in construction, although orders are plentiful for manufac- |)
tured wood. oo |

The market for American lumber shows little improvement., It |)
is not so much a question of price as of lack of demand. Every |
month shows an increased quantity of mining timber coming to the —
United Kingdom from France, while there have lately been increased
deliveries of home-grown mining timber. ; :

Not a little of the present depression is said to be due to the un- |
certainty prevailing as to the future of transportation. The probable |
If
of such a commodity as lumber very problematical and difficult, and
merchants in general are suspending purchasing for forward deliv- |
ery.. The general opinion throughout the timber trade, however, is —
that a period of slow recovery and increased prosperity will follow —
almost immediately on the present stagnation.

It was stated in Parliament in the early summer by the Min- |

Another Sawmill Wiped Qut by Fire

The sawmill of Moose Lake Lumber Co., in Firstbrook Town-
ship, west of Cobalt, was recently destroyed by fire. The mill was |)
sawing about 20,000 ft. per day and had only half of the season’s
cut completed. The company have upwards of 20,000 logs in
the waters of Moose Lake, and announce that it is their intention to
rebuild as soon as matters are adjusted. The sawmill was partly
covered by insurance. The flames broke out in the plant after the
day’s work was completed and the cause of the blaze is unknown.
The Moose Lake Lumber Co. are both wholesalers and retail deal-
ers in lumber and timber. Their yards and office are at Cobalt, and

: It is generally admitted there have been a good many changes
“in the lumber business that are of a progressive character, and I’ve
heard it intimated that the personnel is of a little bit higher grade
than it used to be. The men now engaged in it probably have a
better school education and a better knowledge of how to do busi-
mess according to correct principles. They know more about the
commodities they handle and how they should be used and are bet-
fa ‘ter acquainted with the art of merchandising. You might say that

as a whole they are more proficient business men than those of the

eek and file in the industry thirty or forty years ago, says C. H.

these things is common in mankind in general.

1 it ever will be changed, for thé same disposition and spirit to do

gi One of these practices relates to business contracts. It is natur-
ally supposed that the higher the grade of the men entering into
them, the more scrupulous and conscientiously will the obligation be
iy executed. There is hardly anything that puts the real character of
ee man to the test as that of fulfilling a contract that has gone against
_ him since he made it. His sense of justice tells him it should be
_ lived up to regardless of changed conditions affecting it. Every nor-
ik mal, intelligent man knows this, and a selfish reason for breaking
a contract is no valid excuse for doing it. Many a man in the lum-
y inet business has had his moral strength put to the test in this way.
_ Hardly a retailer but who has been tempted to dodge meeting the
terms of a contract he has made with the seller of a carload of stock,
__ and the man at the mill has had his moral calibre tried in the same
manner when weighing his interests against those of his retail cus-
4) tomer. The same human nature controlled them both.
Vea Anything Was Thought Fair
‘Tn the old primitive days of doing business, it was generally
considered that anything was fair in trading and, to some extent,
this is still followed by a certain class of business men, though not
_» so large as formerly, at least, in the lumber business. I can remem-
_ ber the time, however, when the average retailer had an easy con-
_ science in his dealings with the shippers. He thought little of tak-
ing advantage of a wholesaler in a settlement. Such a thing as
| business ethics as we now know them to be had not been formu-
_ lated in those days. I have known dealers who told me it was
_ their policy to make their “kicks” on stock shipmentt pay the ex-
pense of unloading and piling in the yard, and these were men, too,

a _ time custom had blinded their realizing there was a moral element in
Higa pusiness dealings, which, in these later years, the business world has
_ come to recognize and understand the value of, although there is still
a good deal of room for its being improved in practice.
"I confess to being somewhat surprised at the prevalence for a
year past, of the complaints arising from dealers cancelling their
_ orders and mill men failing to ship orders because of a raise in the
_ market price. I have no means of knowing how extensive these prac-
tices prevail, but judging from what I have heard about, there must
_ be a good deal more under the surface of this matter than is known.
_ I would not have attached much importance to it in the years I’ve
' been speaking about, because, as I remarked, it was considered, a
part of the game, but as we like to “point with pride”-to the high
class character of the man now engaged in the business, it cer-
_ tainly seems they are not living up to the standard claimed. The
_ very nature of these cases precludes them from becoming generally
_ known. Both parties would “hate like the dickens” to have public-
_ ity in the trade as to the individuals doing these things, provided it
_ is the other fellow that is exposed. It would tickle the retailer to
_ have the trade know that a certain manufacturer had held up ship-
' ping his order placed several months before because of a rising
market. He wants everybody to know how that concern had treated
him. But on the other hand, wouldn’t he squirm though if another
_ mill man published to the trade the fact of his cancelling his order

Now, the very fact of these two parties not wanting to have

3 Should Be A Badge of Honor
The time is coming when to be a member of an associat!
retail lumbermen will be something of a guarantee of his b
character, not only to members of the producing and
branches of the industry, but to the consuming public ; e
stead of being afraid, as the country dealer now is f having
community know he belongs to the association, he will consid
worth while to have it printed on his letter tiedds" angele :
make it known in his advertising. Before this comes to pass,
ever, the retail lumbermen will have educated the public into
ing what the association really is and what it stands for in its
ideals of business integrity and of service to the community,
when people come to know this, an association membership wi
as a trade mark insuring them intelligent service and fair deal
and a certificate of his business character. ’ a
You may think we have a long way to travel before we arri
at this state of mind, but the way we are progressing now in our _
associations, and the awakening to the value of ethics in business,
it is not so far over the horizon of the future as we may think. The © is
old theory that business and religion did not mix well together, is
becoming regarded as a thing of the past in the light of an ey.

nding that business ethics and service is exemplifying Christian-
y. This is so regarded now by the more progressive men in the

coming out from the world and being separate from it, for be it
known that the Code of Trade Ethics as worked out and adopted
_ by the American Lumber Trades’ Congress is nothing more nor less
_ than the Golden Rule being applied to business relations.
‘a Of late years this immortal code has not been in the limelight
- of publicity in connection with the lumber industry that. established
it. Neither have the Ten Commandments in the morality of the
_ present day. Nevertheless both remain and endure as the standards
of right living and business relations. One of our trade journals
_ recently published in full the Constitution of the United States: a
document so full of vital significance to every citizen of the country,
and yet so very little known as being the basic guarantee of our civil
‘rights and liberty. To the great mass of the American people of
o-day, it is an obsolete document and is only heard of in courts of
Ww.
I think it time we should revive the attention and interest of
Jumbermen in our established Code of Trade Ethics. There are many
undreds in the trade to-day who scarcely know of its existence,
nd many have never heard of it at all. I suggest that it be again
‘ published in all of the trade journals, and that they keep reviving
it from time to time. The associations also should take the matter
D up and do their part in letting their members know of its existence
and that it still remains as morally binding on them and every man
who has a part in the lumber industry. If it were better known,
____ studied and lived up to, there would be less cause for complaint in
cancellation and side-stepping in the matter of contracts between:
_ buyer and shipper. '
be Another Offense of Long Standing

. There is another old subject that seems destined to always be
. a matter of dispute between the shipper and retailer, and that is,
the practice of ignoring the terms of sale and taking the discount
after the specified time has passed. I have heard this subject dis-
a ‘cussed*many times at the retailers’ conventions, and the general
opinion, as expressed at these times, was that the dealer had the
right to inspect the shipment before paying for it. I was present
also at the meetings where manufacturers, wholesalers and retail-
ers were assembled for the purpose of discussing and threshing out
all these differences in trade relations between the several branches
of the industry, resulting in the formulation and adoption of the
Code of Trade Ethics which was supposed to be morally binding
-* on the trade in future transactions. This particular subject occa-
-sioned a great deal of discussion and argument, and took up much
time before a unanimous agreement was reached. As finally passed
upon at the last meeting of the Congress at St. Louis, May 22-23,
1911, the Sixth Section of the Code reads as follows:
' “The terms of sale as noted on original order or acceptance of
same should be considered as much a part -of the contract as the
_ price at which the stock is purchased. Should any shipment upon

‘The metric system has recently received considerable attention
in lumber and other circles and its exponents are busy urging its

adoption by various bodies, public and private. At a recent monthly
meeting of the Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association in Toronto
an interesting address was delivered on the system, its convenience,

pects were bright in time for the metric plan to prevail in lumber |

rival at destination not be acceptable for legitimate reasons to buy-
ers, or satisfactory adjustment cannot be made as to the acceptance
of the stock, buyer should have the right to demand return of such |
money as he has paid, before allowing the shipment to be moved or |
disposed of elsewhere.” ri

The seventh section also is of particular interest in these days —
of uncertain transportation. It reads: om

“The seller should not be. held responsible for delays incident
to transportation beyond his control, unless otherwise specifically |
agreed.” a

Approved by the Whole Trade ht}

Now, for the information of the younger men and others who |
have engaged in the trade since the adoption of this code, I want to |
say that these meetings which extended over a period of three years, ©
were composed of representatives of more than eleven thousand §)
different firms and nearly forty retailers, wholesalers and manufac-
turers associations. So, you see, the greater part of the whole lumber ~
industry was represented, and not merely a few individuals for them-— |
selves. Furthermore, the code as finally amended and adopted at the —
last meeting, was practically unanimously adopted by all the asso- |
ciations in the country at their subsequent conventions. It is as- |)
sumed, therefore, that this voluntary action expressed the faith and —
promise of the individual members of the different branches of the —
trade to abide by and follow the provisions of the Code in their |
business dealings with each other, and it seems to me that in all —
cases of dispute covered by these provisions, a mutual disposition ~
to regard them as binding should bring about an amicable settlement.
Studying these sections I have quoted, any fair-minded man can see |
they are based on a principle that is fair and just to both seller and
buyer, as is also every other section of the code. I know that in the ©
discussions referred to, one of the prime considerations that governed |
the whole work was that nothing should be adopted but what was
practicable in every case and under all conditions. For the spirit
of the Golden Rule runs through it all. ar

In this matter of taking the discount contrary to the terms of
sale, I believe the shipper is largely to blame, for it is obvious that if
he will not sanction or permit it in a settlement, the buyer cannot.
do otherwise than abide by his contract. The shipper has it all in-
his own hands, and if he allows a customer to take the advantage —
of him, he has no reasonable cause to complain of the practice. I.
know very well the argument of the dealer pertaining to this matter,
but just let him consider that if the shipper is willing to trust him
with a car of lumber before getting his pay for it, is it not fair to
suppose that he in turn should have confidence in the shipper by
paying for the goods within the discount period named in his con- |
tract, in advance of receiving them ? aa |

In my own experience, I tried to live up to these comtracts, and
I made it a rule not to have anything to do with a wholesaler or —
manufacturer that I could not trust to settle fairly a just complaint of —
mine relating to a shipment either before or after paying for it.

way, as witness the British, pence, shillings, etc., but they all use
the same measurements. No doubt the British think that our cents,
dimes and dollars is the best money system, but they cannot get
enough people to agree on iit to carry it by vote. But there must
have been a time, not so far back, when they combined and took |
over the decimal system for measurement and they have beeome
thoroughly shaken down to it and are fully satisfied with it. You
we work. under. ‘ ;

There would not be any more “quarter of a pound, éighth of
an inch,” etc.; it would be all in tenths.. Cannot you conceive the .
improvements in calculations? Did your little girl or boy come to
you and ask you how to multiply one fraction by another, and didn’t
you try to reduce them to decimals or some common divisor first?

The world do move, and I hope it is going to move the metric
system into the United States. . There are new generations coming
along all the time, and if it may be hard for us older ones to adapt
ourselves to the new system, although I deny this, yet once adopted
it stands for all time.

In his reply the editor ably answers the correspondent in they
following manner :—We will agree that our present system of weights |
and measures is cumbersome and that had we started out with a |

decimal system in these matters as well-as in money, calculations
would be easier. Decimals are easier than fractions.

But there is no foreign country of importance where there is a
single system in these things, even where the metric system has
been made “official.” Even where it was adopted many years ago,
it has not become the sole system in use, and there is so much con-
fusion that the supposed change has not become effective.

There are other difficulties in the way. The metric system uses
the meter as the unit of measure, and the meter is a little more
than thirty-nine inches. Fractions or multiples of the meter are
expressed by the use of prefixes. Fractions of a meter make use of
Greek prefixes, and multiples of a meter make use of Latin prefixes.
A decameter is ten meters; but change the “a” to an “i” and it be-
comes decimeter, which is one-tenth of a meter. There would be
danger of mixing these two.

Applying it to the lumber business, it would be rather difficu't
to change all thicknesses and lengths of the various items, and if
we did, how would we express them. Inch lumber would have no
measure name. The nearest we cou!d come to it would be to calli

‘it a quarter of a decimeter, or twenty-five centimeters, and that

would not be exact. The former would break the rule by using the
quarter fraction, and either would be too cumbersome.

The adoption of the metric system, if we were consistent, would
mean that every machine used in the manufacture of every com-
modity bought and- sold by weight or ‘lineal measure would have
to be changed. Every acre of farm ‘and and every piece of city
property would have to be re-measured. Every deed to real prop-
erty would have to be re-written. Past records running back through
the entire history of the country would be meaningless, |

Lumbermen Candidates in Nova Scotia Elections

Hon. R. M. MacGregor, who is a member of the Murray Goy-

ernment, was returned in the recent provincial elections in Nova
Scotia. He ran in Pictou County and won a victory over a Labor
candidate. The many friends of Mr. MacGregar will be glad to
learn of his return at the polls as he is a live legislator and had
occupied a seat in Assembly for the past sixteen years, being first
chosen in 1904 and re-elected at the general contests in 1916, 1911
and 1916. Mr. MacGregor was appointed a member of the Execu-
tive Council of Nova Scotia without portfolio in June, 1911. He
resides in New Glasgow and has long been a prominent business
man in that town, being a member of J. D. & P. A. MacGregor,
lumber merchants. He is a son of the late James D. MacGregor, who
was at one, time Lieut.-Governor of the province. He was educated
at New Glasgow high school and Dalhousie College, Halifax, where
he graduated in Arts in 1896,

Rufus S. Carter, who was defeated in Cumberland in the recent
election in Nova Scotia, is a lumberman. He was first returned at
the polls in 1911 and was re-elected in 1916. He also served in the
Municipal Council for two years and was a commissioner for the
Maritime Winter Fair for three years. Mr. Carter resides at Maccan,
Cumberland County. He has always taken a deep interest in mil-
itary matters and retired some years ago from the 93rd Regiment
with the rank of captain. He was a member of the Canadian Bisley
Rifle team in 1897 and was present at the late Queen Victoria Dia-
mond Jubilee. Mr. Carter’s family claim to descend through a direct
line from the Earl of Derwentwater and he is of English extraction.
He was born at Maccan in 1866. ‘

Hon. Fulton J. Logan, who is a member of the Legislative Coun-
cil of Nova Scotia, is a prominent lumberman. He resides at Musq-
uodoboit and is a Liberal in politics. Being in the Legislative
Council he did not have to seek a renewal of the confidence of the
electorate in the recent sampaign. He was appointed to the Upper
Chamber of Nova Scotia in 1916. Previous to that he sat for Hali-
fax in the Legislative Assembly. Mr. Logan was born in Stewiacke, ©
Colchester County, in 1857.

4 “Analysis of income tax retufns shows that contracting is the
most hazardous industry in the country. ‘They show that the amount
> of loss for every dollar of profit made by construction corporations
is eight times as great as it is manufacturing, agriculture, or per-
sonal service corporations; five times as great in transportation and
public: utility corporations; over three times as great as in mining
and quarrying; and nearly twice as great as in banking.
_ “The reasons for this condition are due to the unusual number
of doubtful elements in construction with which a contractor must
_ work. It is unnecesasry to enumerate them. They are all too famt-
liar. It is sufficient that the more such uncertainties can be elimin-
ated, the lower will be the cost of construction to the owner, the
- more satisfactory will be the relations of the architect, the engineer
> - and the contractor, and the more will contracts be awarded on
a basis of skill, integrity and responsibility. .Never was this more
true or action on it more needed than at the present time.”
* The foregoing statement, quoted from a prominent American
authority in the construction industries, applies equally to. conditions
existing in Canada, and furnishes us with one of the principal reas-
ons for the formation of a Canadian association of the building and
construction interests. One of the best racasures to stabilize the in-
- dustry is to bring ‘hose connected with it into close relationship,
and furnish a common ground for discussion and action. In both
the conferences which have been held, in November, 1918, when the
Association of Canadian Building and Construction Industries was
organized, and in February, 1920, the need for such stabilization
has ben strongly emphasized.
It is an admitted fact that members of the construction indus-
tries have been far too provincial and individualistic. The system
; of competitive bids with fixed price for contract has tended to en-
courage this attitude, and increase the uncertainties. But in recent
years there has been some evidence of a change. In several of the
most progressive countries of the world, at practically the same time,
the idea seems to have gained ground that the construction industry
was suffering from a_lack of organization, and efforts have been
made to remedy the defect. The period of re-construction, subse-
quent to the war, hastened the movement. We found, in organizing
our Association, that we were working along practically identical
lines with our brothers in the industry elsewhere.

Greater Need for Unity Than Ever

E ~The need for greater unity in the construction industries of Can-

ada is becoming more apparent every day. To the careful student of
- conditions, it is evident that the problems which worry the builder,
the contractor, the sub-contractor and the supply-man in Edmonton
- and Vancouver are in the main the same as those which keep his
fellow-constructionist awake nights in Montreal, St. John, Toronto,
| or Halifax. Fluctuation of prices, difficulties of transportation, un-

certain weather conditions, changes in plans, financial obligations,
unforseen conditions, cost of equipment, labor troubles and many
other similar worries are common to us all. A

the provincial and local organizations. In this direction both the
Provincial Builders’ and Supply Association of Ontario and the As-*
sociated Builders’ Exchanges of Saskatchewan have gone on record
at their last annual general meetings as expressing their affiliation
with the Canadian Association, and have each elected three provin--
cial councillors to the national council. The Province of Manitoba.
through the thriving Winnipeg Exchange, is also actively identified
with the movement. In Quebec, Alberta and New Brunswick, where
there are no Provincial organizations, a number of the existing local
associations have taken out “collective” memberships, and in several
cities where no builders’ organization was already in existence,
branches of the Association have been formed.

The success of an Association such as ours depends upon two
chief factors, namely, the service it renders to the industry, and the.
‘support it receives. In endeavoring to fulfil the first of these, we
have been working along several lines and will extend our scope of’
operations just as rapidly as the support received warrants the addi-.
tional expenditures.

Aiming to Adopt a Standard Contract

The office of the secretary is situated in Ottawa, in the Com-
mercial Chambers, Sparks Street, and is intended to be a “service
station” for the industry. Members are encouraged to write or wire
inquiries regarding proposed legislation or information which they
wish obtained from the governmental offices or the Department of
Labor. Much valuable work has already been done in this way. It
is also planned to keep a close watch on legislation affecting our in-
dustries as it is introduced. reporting same to the members through-
out the country, and securing their co-operation in what action may
be deemed necessary. As the opportunity arises information will be
sent out from the secretary’s office to the members, in the form of
“service letters.”

At the present time, the

Association has two very important
standing committees engaged in the consideration of matters affect+
ing the industry throughout Canada. One of these is the Committee
on Standard Practices, under the chairmanship of H. T. Hazleton, .
president of the Winnipeg Builders’ Exchange. It is considering the —
problem of a satisfactory standard contract, which ought to be one |
of the simplest means to eliminate some of the uncertainties existing
to-day in construction work. The aid of the Engineering Institute
of Canada has been enlisted in the committee’s deliberations and re-
presentatives are being appointed by both of these bodies. It is
worth noting here that a similar committee appointed by the Asso-
ciated General Contractors of America, has made a study of 113
forms of contracts of various types during the past year. Their com- |
mittee is not yet prepared to submit a complete form of contract em- |
bodying every provision which should be included in a good con-
tract, but have submitted some very interesting provisions. From
this it will be seen that our committee has no small task on its
hands, and any suggestions which may be given it by members of |
the industry will be appreciated. : |

The other standing committee was appointed to consider prob-
lems relating to labor, and consists of fourteen members, under the
chairmanship of Mr. J. P. Anglin, Montreal. It is engaged in con-
sidering questions including: Responsibility of labor unions, annual
agreements, apprenticeship, technical education, grading and classi- |
fication of workmen, immigration of labor, eight and nine-hour day —
The Minister of Labor and the leaders
of labor connected with the Canadian building industries have ex-
pressed ‘their willingness to co-operate in discussion of these and
and in the formation of a National Joint
Conference Board.

We believe that the next few years will see great advances in the
construction industries of our country, but the problems which will
confront us will demand our utmost effort and united action. The
Association of Canadian Building and Construction Industries is an
endeavor to meet the situation and therefore requires the support
and co-operation of every Canadian builder, contractor,
tractor and supply-man in its work.

Cut of Puipwood Large in Quebec
_. _ Reports received from Quebec and other points in-the east show
_ indications that the pulpwood cut this season will, no doubt, be

Say that it looks as if more than half of this season’s cut is going
to stay alongside of the tracks on account of the scarcity of the
.. equipment to move the wood. '
1 4 The Jost Company have had a rather unfavorable experience in
y / connection with some of their own stock and altogether have not
_.. been able to move more than 10 per cent. of it. They are apprehen-
i sive that the greater part will not be shipped until some time
_ mext year. Under these circumstances they declare that the car
situation will have a great deal to do with the price of pulpwood
' delivered at the mill. American plants are at the present time will-

MA

ing ito pay comparatively high prices for immediate delivery of
wood. A few United States mills are contracting for their next
fits: supply at a price around $2.00 and $3.00 less than what is

eing paid at the present time for immediate shipment. Sap peeled
ies spruce and balsam pulpwood is being sold to-day at Watertown,
7 ts N. Y., at around $30.00 or more per cord, but shipments cannot be

made in any large quantities owing to the scarcity of cars. Along
_ with spruce and balsam, peeled poplar and hemlock have also gone
_ up in price. Poplar pulpwood is being very much controlled and the
increased figure obtained for it is only for wood that is being cut
this year and will be delivered next year. Under these conditions
poplar that is already at the track and must be sold has to go at
~~ a low price.

| Bs wood business at present is: being done on the pressure of high com-
petitive cost. The American mills are very anxious to obtain imme-
_ diate supovlies and have created a strong competition for the other
' buyers. On the other hand, the Canadian mills get. quite a good
_ proportion of the wood that is being shipped at a price lower than
_, is being paid at the American plants, because Canadian car equip-

ment can be used to move wood to points in the Maritime provinces

hit Hull is After Big Pulp Mills

+ +The citizens of Hull, Que., are putting forth every effort to
__ have the proposed new. mills of the Riordon Co. located in that city
instead of at Chelsea. The present plan of the Riordon people is
_ to build a big dam at Chelsea, some 20 feet in height, which will
back the Gatineau River up some seven miles. This will afford
splendid power at this spot. It is pointed out that it is a very
simple thing to convey the power seven miles or less, from Chelsea
- to Hull, where more labor is available than at Chelsea and housing
available. Ottawa interests are strongly backing representations
_ from-Hull for the location of the new industry, as a plant in Hull.
means a great deal for the prosperity of Ottawa, almost as much
as if situated in the latter city. The two communities, in the mat-
; _ ter of spending money, are practically one.

Poplar Pulpwood in Active Demand
id. L. White, Grand Falls, N. B., states that the prices of spruce
and balsam to be delivered during the coming winter averages
about $18.00 per cord, f.o.b. cars, in his district, although the figure
for spot deliveries is considerably higher. The quotation for poplar
- is-about $12.50 per, cord, f.o.b. cars, with a demand for all that is
_ available in the district. Poplar goes almost exclusively to the mills
- in Maine, but it is doubtful, adds Mr. White, if they could handle
any large quantity of poplar from Ontario. Mr.’ White states that
the production of all kinds of pulpwood in and around Grand Falls
Ve will not exceed to any great extent that of last year on account of
the scarcity of labor, weather conditions, and the shortage of cars
for shipment.

$34,000 when lost, is probably worth more now on account of pulp
wood scarcity. It was a choice lot of four-foot wood from Nipigon
Bay, Ont., in tow of the Canadian tug Traveler, and was bound
for Ashland to be shipped by rail to the Wisconsin paper mill by it
cwnrer the Pulpwood Company of Appleton. a

Search this sping showed that the raft had beached itself
such a wide territory of coast as to make salvage difficult. ©
ties were found along the coast west of the Porcupine mou
near Union Bay, west of Ontonagon. Fifty miles up the coas
life savers at the mouth of the Portage canal had piled up som
the wood and were using it as fuel. 3 ca

The largest quantities were found between Eagle River ;
Copper Harbour and at the latter place headquarters were estab-
lished by Kingston, agent of the pulp wood company, and with a

_ and to face closing down the largest pulp plant for six weeks.
A steamer was chartered, and 2000 tons of pulp shipped to New

_ though the prices obtained were small, it enabled the company with
the new capital that was secured to weather the storm.
io Although money was short, Sir George could see that log costs
must increase, due to the boom in the lumber market, and he cour-
_ ageously faced the expenditure of a large sum, so that small wood
_ might be used as in the eastern mills, and proceeded to install addi-
tional screens and other appliances so that the product of his plants
_ might be equal to the best in the world. The wisdom of installing
_ the small wood operations is borne out by. the fact that the price
_ of logs on the open market has doubled in the past year, while con-
tracts have been let at a price which makes the small wood costs
half that of logs.

New Company Secures Pulpwood Limits

__- Paper Co. comprise one thousand square miles of limits on the Garnd
Trunk Pacific between Fort William and Sioux Lookout, known as
the Farlinger-MacDonald limits, The lease runs twenty years with
__ privilege of renewing for two further periods of 25 years each.
_——s'*tIt:-‘is estimated half a million dollars yearly in freight rates
will accrue to the Dominion government from the transport of pulp
logs from the limits to the mills here, and in addition the govern-
ment pulp-cutting dues.

lee May Make Paper From Seaweed :
The manufacture of paper-pulp calls for an enormous quantity

£ of raw material, and this demand in the course of time will become
‘more and more emphatic. On this subject a French authority states

that the sea-weed or sea-wreck possesses the desired properties for
the production of a good paper pulp, and that it offers the following
economical advantages. Besides furnishing a crop that is very abun-

dant, this seaweed can be left to dry on the spot, and_ (before col-
lection), cleaned ‘by a rudimentary shaking process,, For transpor-
tation it can be put up in bales.

# ees Paper Suits Sell From $8 Up ae.

a - Large quantities of paper suits made in Germany are being dis-
played by a British firm of importers at its shop in London, accord-

ing to a despatch received in Washington.
These ready-made suits are cut to English styles and are said
to be of the very best class of paper texture, and are being retailed
at from $8 to $40 a suit. Last month 40,000 of these suits were im-
ported by a firm of transport agents from Germany via Holland, and
‘another consignment of 5,000 is on the way. Further consignments
_. are expected to arrive at frequent intervals.
Se A large number of the suits have been re-exported to India and
South Africa, says the despatch, but some merchants in London are
of the opinion that in view of the present high price of clothing there
are. wide possibilities in paper suits, especially in industrial districts,
if they could be cut more in the English style and to English tastes.
; The agants who are dealing in these suits state that by buying
under the present rate of exchange it is possible for a man to pur-
chase a new suit once a week, and that over a period of twelve
‘months the entire cost would be less than the price of one single
English suit.

Aircraft Useful in Timber Industry

By That he obtained more information regarding the timber and
___—s waterways of the country over which he had flown as the result of
a few hours’ air trip than he could have secured by years of travel
a on foot was the recent statement of a timber expert in Quebec. A

_ flying boat was used for this exploration and survey of the forests of
the northern part of the province, the trip of 850 miles being com-
pleted in 12% aa ing. Several stops were made to complete
; reports of the c 1 y travelled over as well as to secure more fuel.
Besides the pilot and logging éxpert, the party included an aerial

photographer. The results of this and similar journeys. have added
to the conviction of lumbermen that aircraft was extremely useful

in the timber industry. In the woods of northern Quebec alone this
season, 4000 miles have been explored in flying trips. A complete
camping outfit is carried on these flying boats, including a tent,
canoe and a plentiful supply of food.

Initial Dividend Declared by Big Firm

Riordon Company, Limited, Montreal, directors have declared

an initial dividend of 134 per cent. on the $10,000,000 7 per cent.
cumulative convertible preferred stock and an initial payment of 2
per cent. on the $10,000,000 8 per cent. first preferred stocks of the
company. The payments cover the quarter ending September 30
next, payable October 1 to shareholders of record September 24.

In all $375,000 will thus be distributed, $187,000 of which will
be paid into the treasury of the old Riordon Pulp and Paper Com- :

pany, which holds $1,500,000 of the 8 per cent. securities and $9,000,-
000 of the 7 per cent. stock, in addition to $12,000,000 of common.

The regluar quarterly dividend of 134 per cent. was also de-
clared on the $1,500,000 7 per cent. preferred stock of the Riordon
Pulp and Paper Company, Limited, for the quarter ending Septem-

ber 30, payable September 30 to shareholders of record Septem-

___ Every preparation is-being made for the Fourth Annual conven-
tion of the National Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association, to be held
in St. Louis, Mo., September 7th and 8th. The forthcoming gath-
ering has been styled “the 100 per cent. retail lumber distributors
conference,” and the trade mark of the Association reveals an em-
blematic shield bearing the word “co-operation.” It is expected
that 2,000 successful retail lumber distributors will attend the con-
clave in St. Louis on September 7th and 8th, and some attractive
and effective advertising is being done to boom the assembly. ~Suc-
cessful business men always attend conventions pertaining to their
own line of business. They may be asked why. Here are the an-
_ swers that the National Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association pre-
sents to the query: “Of course such men get information and ideas
that are valuable to them, which make them successful, which they
could not get any other way; besides they can help someone else by
giving as well as absorbing ideas and information.”

It is, therefore, expected that hundreds of alert and aggressive
lumber merchants will hie themselves to St. Louis during the second
__ week in September.

Which One of These Are You?
By J. C. Hemming

There are curious classes of individuals and you meet
many of these complex characters. There is the chap who is
going to take you to dine with him “some day,” the neighbor
or old friend who has promised to take you for a ride in his
new automobile “one of these days” and the standing invita-
tion, which has done duty from the era of the flood, “come
over soon and see us.”

Such glittering generalities have ceased to function. They
Jack point and earnestness, sincerity and conviction. This is
a period of decisive action, definite arrangement and prompt
1ethod.

This “anytime” business is pretty nearly worn threadbare
and should long ago have been consigned to the scrap heap of
monotony and perfunctory politeness.

The age desires something that is not vague and intan-
gible, something not elusive and evanescent.

The fellow, who is always “going to” do this and that is
a pleasing promiser but generally a poor performer. The one
who is always “going to” take you out in his car or motor
launch, have you to lunch or visit his rural estate “some day”
may think. by his exhibition of social interest and friendly
spirit, that he is a fine fellow. He. who performs these little
acts of courtesy or hospitality without much ado or promise
but gets down to business in short order, counts far more in
the genuine esteem of his confreres than he who is demon-
strative or sentimental.

The men, who accomplish things really worth while, carry
them out first and talk about them afterwards. They are not
the chaps who are always “going to” or intend to do. The
plans of these humans seemingly never materialize and their
schemes seldom take definite shape except in their own imag-
ination.

What the world calls for to-day is action and result, not
bluster and bluff. If “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound
of cure,” a modern industrial ‘interpretation might read “one
day of practical execution is worth a month of tireless talk,
day dreams and these “some time invitations” to lunch, to. |,
motor, to angle or to rusticate.”

of North American Pulp Co. After bond interest net earnings amount
to $464,636 against $442,227 for the old company in 1918, while the
surplus of $33,651 compares with $38,005 for the North American
Pulp Co. in 1918, the showing being lowered by way of creation
of a reserve against depletion of timber limits of $263,001, and writ-~
ing off of surplus of coal used in alterations of the Chandler mill of
$149,067.
Among the assets are pulpwood on hand at cost $1,119,440, pulp-
wood on hand at cost $904,694, and advances on pulpwood, season
1919-20, $568,944. (

In his report to shareholders, Hon. F. L. Beique, the president,
says: “We are glad to announce that the Chandler mill, which here-
tofore has been a source of loss to the company, has been much im-
proved and will show a substantial profit during the current year.
The enlargement of one of the mills at Chicoutimi has also been com-
pleted, increasing considerably production of the company. Our
pulp, both sulphite and mechanical, is now being sold at prices much
higher than in 1919, and firm contracts which have been made for
delivery during 1920 and 1921 warrant us in saying that the net in-
come for each of these years will exceed three million dollars.

Newsy Jottings From the East

Walter H. Millican, Charles J. Melliday and Harry A. Powell,
all of St. John, have been incorporated as the Imperial Lumber
Company Ltd., with head office at St. John, and capital stock of
$49,000. The company is authorized to carry on a general lumbering
business in its various branches,

Chief Fire and Game Warden L. A. Gagnon has returned to
his home in Fredericton after prosecuting forty cases for violation
of the forest fire laws in the Province, as a result of which valu-
able timber lands were destroyed: and thousands of acres of pulp
wood burned. As a result of his efforas thirty-three convictions
were secured, three were withdrawn and three cases dismissed.
The charges were for setting fires without having secured a permit,
and for refusing to assist in fighting fires;’also for neglecting to
keep fires within proper limits. .

Pater Kevenue from Crown Lands

Quebec Province Will Reap Augmented Returns from
Public Domain in Near Future
In a decidedly interesting letter to the press Edward Beck of
the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association, Montreal, says in part:
Every reasonable reader will TEES with your editorial approval of
those parts of the Hon. L. A. Taschereau’s programme speech deal-

ing with the intention of the Government to look to the public do-

main for increased revenue in the not distant future.

Last year the Quebec Government profited to the amount of
more than $2,000,000 from lumbering and pulpwood operations on
Increased cutting fees, since inaugurated, will in-
No disposition has been shown
by the limit-holders to object to these increased assessments. The
question does arise, however, as to what steps the Government is
taking to insure a continuance of this source of revenue for the
future.

The only way this can adequately be accomplished is for the
Government to reinvest a fair proportion of the revenue thus ob-
tained in restocking the lands from which the forest yield has been
taken. Unless this is done, Quebec, notwithstanding its enormous
heritage of forest wealth, will some day find itself in the position of
the Eastern States, where, for many years, forestry has been carried

on with little or no regard for the future, with the result that the

merely the equivalent of the net annual forest increment.

forest areas are almost. totally denuded of stock and industries de-
pendent upon them for existence are confronted with the alternative
of importing their raw material at enormous cost or of closing their
doors.

Competent authorities aver that the Quebec Government should
set aside at least 25 per cent. of the revenue derived from its forest
resources for the replenishment of the cut-over lands and that in the
long run this would prove to be a profitable investment. Some of
the private corporations are already carrying on extensive reforesta-

tion operations, but to do it properly and on the extensive scale

necessary to complete success, would require an investment not
economically feasible for private capital. The lands belong to the
State. The State alone is in a position to finance adequate reforesta-
tion, and since the State will ultimately reap the larger part of the

reward, the State should assume. most of the responsibility.

Sir Lomer Gouin, the late Premier, frequently subscribed to this

_ view, and under his administration a good beginning was made by

the establishment of a practical forestry service, with its own nurser-
ies. But a great deal yet remains to be done and the new Govern-
ment can undertake no work of greater value and importance to
this province than to put its forest « operations on a strictly scientific

and economically sound basis, such as will not only take care of

present needs, but also make adequate provision for the future, and,

‘for that matter, all time to come. >

Quebec should take a leaf out of the experience of Sweden. This
province in forestry matters is to-day where Sweden was fifty or
sixty years ago. Foreseeing the ultimate effects of unrestricted and
unscientific forestry methods, the authorities of Sweden at that dis-
tant day inaugurated a system of conservation and re- planting which
to-day ensures that country a perpetual supply of wood for its many
industries. Sweden’s forestry operations are conducted on a basis
which keeps its forest capital intact and allows to be consumed
It is said
to be the only country in the world where this has been brought

‘about. Losses from fires and insect pests are reduced to a minimum

and wasteful cutting is absolutely unknown.

The time is opportune for Quebec to start in where Sweden be-
gan. The new Premier is in a position tq inaugurate a forest policy
in connection with his intention to draw a larger percentage of the
provincial revenues from the crown lands that will ensure greatly to
his credit and to the great advantage of everybody concerned.

Big Enterprise for Northern Ontario

As announced in the last edition of the “Canada Lumberman”
the Kimberly-Clark Co., of Neenah, Wis., who ‘successfully operate
and own several paper plants in the Western States, recently be-
came largely interested in a financial way with the Spruce Falls
Company of Kapuskasing, which organization was lately granted a
provincial charter with a capital stock of $7,000,000. F. J. Sensen-
brenner of the Kimberly-Clark Co. is president of the new organi-
zation; S. A. Mundy, of Bradford, Pa., vice-president; and J. C.
Kimberly, of Neenah, Wis., secretary. E. Stewart, of Toronto, who

was vice-president of the former Spruce Falls Pulp & Paper Co., is
' one of the directors of the new concern.

Further details in connection with the operation of the new com-
pany and the arrangements they have entered into with the On-
taria government are now announced . The undertakings in the
way of a large pulp mill and a paper plant of 150 tons daily capacity

should prove of much benefit to the settlers of northern alee 28 !

particularly those in the Kapuskasing district.
The company will take over the concession granted in 1918 to-
Mundy and Stewart, which extends to some 1 square miles,
and in addition they will be granted about 24,000 acres of eas ;
land in O’Brien township.
In return the company have undertaken to begin operations this
fall on the construction of pulp, paper and lumber mills. The pre-
vious concessionaires were, under their agreement, charged by the
government a flat rate of 75c per cord for all timber cut, but the
new company have agreed to pay $1.15 a cord for spruce and 95c a.
cord for all other kinds of timber. Any sawlog timber cut is to b
used for lumber and paid for at current lumber rates. i ‘

The new company has also been given certain areas not resery-
ed for settlement along the line of the railway, and for all spruce —
they cut there they are to pay $1.60 a cord and $1.30 a cord for othe
kinds. In addition they are to destroy all the brush in a manner
satisfactory to the government. 4

The provincial farm ‘established by the agricultural department :
at Kapuskasing, which consists of about 400 acres, will be taken over

by the company at a valuation to be fixed by gover enone valaators.
All buildings on the farm, except the school, wil! also be taken over
and if the company desire to remove the school to another site it
will be at their own expense and with the’ government’s concur-—
rence. 2
Permission to develop water power on the Kapuskasing River

is included in the agreement. There is a 50-foot head on the river a
and 2,000 horse-power may be developed. 5 —-

The sawmill, which will have a daily capacity a 70,000 feet
must be ready by January, 1921; the pulp mill, with a capacity of
about 75 tons a day, by January, 1922, and the paper mill, with a_
capacity of 50 tons a day, by January, 1923. It is expected, how-
ever, that all these plants will be ready and in operation a consider-
able time before this. In fact, the roof of the sawmill will bese sid
be on this fall. ane

In the agreement the government has laid down a new prin- te
ciple and one which will be observed in all future concessions grant-
ed, the premier declared. It has been provided that the company
must furnish at least 15 per cent. of the sig sit of newsprint to Cau- —
adian newspapers. * jae =

“This is the first time ‘such a clause has been inserted in an at
agreement of this kind,” said the premier, “and all future ones will |
contain it, too.”

It is also the intention of the government to lay out a townsite — a .
on the concession instead of allowing the company to do so. The?
rights of the future inhabitants in the matter of power is safe- pa’
guarded. ee a

The premier wished it to be cee that with the =e re.
of a comparatively smal! additional grant to round out the original —
area, the government were not making a new concession. They —
were simply approving of the transfer of the one granted to Mundy
and Stewart to the Spruce Falls Paper Company. It is understood
the original concessionaires will retain an interest in the new com-—

Big Order From India for Ties
An order for four million feet of creosoted British Columbia
ties has been received by the H. R. MacMillan Export Co., Limited,
_ Vancouver, B. C., from the Government of India, and this will mean
much activity in British Columbia mills and the Dominion Creosot-
ink Works at North Vancouver. The order is to go forward by the
first Canadian Government cargo vessel consigned to the India run
and will be shipped towards the end of the year.

Mr. MacMillan secured the order while in India and the ties
will be loaded for discharge at Calcutta. The lumber will be
cut by the Associated Timber Exporters and creosoted at the North
Vv ancouver works, which will be busy for three months on this con-
_signment. .

_ Only two previous orders for ties have gone to India from
‘British Columbia. Some years ago Balfour, Guthrie & Co. shipped
about four million feet for the Indian Government on a Harrison
line att ¢

The foreign lumber trade has been slack for some time and this
_ present order is taken as an indication that British Columbia is
again to receive orders from off-shore points. The building of the
Ef overnment merchant marine is helping to solve the tonnage prob-
a3. em which is one of the difficulties.

Mills Around Timmins Are Busy

-—s- *- It is not generally known that about the gold area of Timmins,
- . Ont., much lumbering has been carried on in the last few years, says
a correspondent.
~~ ‘The Mattagami river furnishes a natural waterway and the T.
and N. O. Railway has run a spur to the river. Now, when a num-
ber of the mines are closed down, the buzz of the saws may be heard
incessantly, for the output, although surprising, still lags behind the
om demands,
= As yet there are only five mills on the Mattagami within a radi-
us of five miles from Timmins, yet this year 1,500,000 ties have
been cut, making 3,000 car loads which have been pulled out of
‘Timmins.
_--—s-' These ties of spruce and jack-pine sold at 90 cents each. Be-
sides the ties, 6,000,000 or 7,000,000 feet of board lumber have been
cut in the same radius and have been sold at approximately $40 and
up per thousand feet. im
A great deal of this lumber has gone to the building of stores
and houses in the mining district. The shafting timbers and the
~ heavy stalls for stopeing have also been a source of revenue to the
lumber enterprises. The Hollinger mine alone has bought heavily
of these heavy timbers for their huge underground operations.

and selling of timber on claims, does not affect those claims which
were staked in the early days.s ;

imber instead of having it burnt, especially as by the clearing the
bush opens up the country for the farmers.

little above last year’s, as they started sawing on April 19th, a little
earlier than usual. The company, at their Shawinigan Falls plant,
expect to cut about 10,000,000 feet of long lumber and about 1,500,000.

The Belgo Company have had no difficulty in securing labor
and have a better class of men this year than during the past three
or four years. Wages are about 20 per cent. over last season, but
the hours are the same, that is, nine hours a day, with the exception
of the sawmill, which runs ten hours, and the company pay, for the.
extra hour.

At the plant of the Riverside Mfg. Co. in Three Rivers, which
is situated on the St. Maurice River, driving conditions this spring
were about the same as at the Belgo Company. Sawing was started
during the first week of June and production will be about 5,000,000
feet of lumber, 2,000,000 feet of lath, 1,000,000 shingles. Labor con-_
ditions are similar to Shawnigan and everything is running smooth-

ly.

A large portion of the cut of both mills has been sold at satis-. |

factory prices, but just now buyers are not making many purchases.
They appear to expect lower prices although Mr. Howe does not
believe that the prices have been cut by anyone in the district.
Manufacturers seem to think that the present quietness is only tem-_
porary and that quotations will go higher in the fall. Local trade
has been exceptionally good and there has been a splendid demand
at steady values. ;

In Three Rivers the St. Maurice Paper Company’s sawmill is
not operating this year, but the sawmills of the St. Maurice Lumber

Co., Wayagamack Pulp & Paper Co. and Mr. Dansereaux are all ~

operating.

Mr. Isherwood Plans to Visit Canada

Writing to the “Canada Lumberman” H. R. Isherwood of St.
Louis, Mo., secretary-treasurer of the Concatenated Order of Hoo-
Hoo, says: I sincerely hope that in the latter part of the year or
early part of the coming year, I can spend some time in the principal
cities of Canada and have the opportunity of meeting with members
and lumbermen, and outlining to them the present activities and
future plans of the Order of Hoo-Hoo that will enable me to in-
crease our membership, as I would like. At the same time I hope
that I may have the opportunity of serving the lumbermen by ad-

dressing them and discussing problems on the merchandising of |

lumber product.

I am starting a movement to organize Hoo-Hoo clubs, and in ~
doing so my first move is to have the vicegerents or members in-
the different districts select a hotel for Hoo-Hoo headquarters in
which we will arrange to supply a large emblem of our Order for dis-
play in the lobby. In this connection we will establish a Bureau of
Information for the benefit of our members. This will have many _
advantages and many features, which, in itself, I feel will be well
worth the annual dues paid into this organization.
serve aS a means of bringing members and lumbermen together
often and, at times, other than concatenation. Many new plans are
being developed, which will be acted upon and passed at the coming
annual meeting in St. Louis, which will be one of the largest ©
and most interesting held for many years. :

Legal Action Over Ownership of Logs Me q

A preliminary investigation was in progress recently in .the
Court of Sessions, presided over by Magistrate Corriveau in the case
of the Abitibi Power & Paper Co. against five lumbermen of La
Sarre, who are accused of having in their possession pulp wood logs,
the property of the company, which had been taken in the White
River, Abitibi. The investigation commenced in the Circuit Court
Chamber, when Messrs. J. N. K. Laflamme, K. C., M.P.P., who ap-
pear for the defence, admit that the clients had been found with wood
in their possession, claimed to be the property of the Abitibi Power
& Paper Co., Ltd., but the action should have been taken in the civil
court and not the Court of Sessions, which had no jurisdiction in-
such a case. Mr. R. Taschereau, K.C., Montreal, contended that the |
wood which had been in possession of the defendants bore the regis- ;
tered mark of the company, and under no consideration should the
defendants have retained the wood, which was a violation of the law.

Congestion of Lumber on Miramichi

Considerable congestion of manufactured lumber -exists along
the Miramichi river in New Brunswick, as only six vessels have taker
lumber cargces from the river this season. The mill men have great
quantities awaiting shipment and many of them are cramped for
rootn. The Snowball Company is hauling lumber to piling grounds at
some distance from their mill at Chatham.

Drying Schedule for Air-Seasoned Oak

The following skeleton drying schedule is recommended for the
kiln drying of air-seasoned oak, It must be remembered, however,

that no mere formula in itself will insure the perfect drying of wood.
The kiln operator must be trained to watch the condition of the
lumber and to apply the proper remedies if things start to go wrong.

The schedule was prepared by the U. S. Forest Products Labor-
atory for 4/4 plain-sawed oak (high!and variety) with a moisture con-
tent of 15 per cent. This moisture condition would ordinarily be
reached in from 9 to 12 months of air seasoning.

After the stock is dry, the temperature should be held at 145
degrees and the humidity raised to 80 per cent. This condition
should be maintained for 10 hours in order to balance the moisture
content, thus reducing the tendency of the lumber to warp after
machining.

Valuable Works of Reference

An interesting and artistic booklet was recently issued by James
It is called “Davidson’s Port-
able Cottages.” There are shown pictures of the manufacturing
plant in Ottawa, the company’s sawmill at Davidson, Que., photo-
graphs of the late James Davidson, (the founder of the business),
and his two sons, Grant P. Davidson and Lieut. Keith Davidson,
who are directing the large enterprise. The leading characteristics
and special features of Davidson’s portable houses are pointed out
and a number of illustrations given, not only of cottages but of
hunters’ cabins, churches, garages, hen houses, dog houses, refriger-
ators and other accessories.

The firm lately put out a most complete and neatly bound cata-
logue of sash, doors, blinds, boxes and shooks. The illustrations are
particularly well executed, the grouping is effective and a vast
amount of data is presented on doors, blinds, portable houses, sash,
etc. James Davidson’s Sons announce that their slogan is “from
tree to finished product.” . They cut the logs and saw the lumber in-
to doors, sash, blinds, etc., which enables them to meet adequately
the requirements of the trade.

_-Proper Grading and Handling of Lumber
Editor, “Canada Lumberman.”—

I have read with interest the letter from Mr. James Charron
which was published in the June 15th edition’ of the “Canada Lum-
berman.” :

I may say regarding the marketing of lumber for export that
English exporters having offices in- Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa and
Toronto, have no difficulty in disposing of forest products and other
export markets are cared for by United States firms.

The term “mill run” has always meant all good lumber cut and
all cull lumber out, in white pine, at all large mills. Sometimes 1,
2 and 3 cut-ups are included and at other times are not. The term
“shipping cul” has three meanings—No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 deal or
No. 2 and 3 deal and No. 4 deal—much depends upon where the pro-
duct is shipped from.

In regard to an item from Sarnia, which appeared in your paper,
I notice an error. The reference should read “fine, common and bet-
ter,” which means a ‘nice grade of good siding. This will explain
the confusion.

“Cut ups and better,” or the term “and better” after any grade,
means there is better lumber than the grade mentioned and the price
is put on to care for the greater value.

The simple grading of lumber or groups to suit as many as
wanted might for the trade be graded as follows:

bd

1—Good sidings, shorts and strips.
2—Outs of good (when shipping good.)
3—No. 1 cutup. ;
4—No. 2 cutup.

5—No. 3 cutup.

6—Dressing.

7—No. 1 barn.

8—No. 2 barn.

9—No. 3 barn.
10—Box.
11—Mill cull.
12—Dead culls.

Grouping these grades, good and outs of good. are in the same

pile and can be tallied separately when stripping or the cuts lai

out and shipped later. In 1, 2 and 3 cutups each grade can be tal-

lied separately when shipping and, if any difference of opinion

ists in the value of the time of the sale, 1 or 2 cutups can go wel

together and 3 cutups be piled separately.

Dressing, 1, 2. and 3 barn and any number of these grades may be

piled together or separately to suit the purchaser. Coarse box atid
No. 1 mill culls is a natural grade. No. 2 mill culls can be kept sep-
arately or piled with No. 3 mill culls. :

In regard to retail or factory yards, any good lumber should be
piled in sheds. The piling should be close when the stock is dry and
loose when the lumber is green. The lumber should be graded to
suit the use to which it will be devoted or the particular trade by
which it will be handled, at the time the stock is taken from the
par.

Successful buying for a factory means getting the grade of lum-

ber to suit with as little waste as possible. Good lumber piled in
the open air should be well covered on front and back as well as at
the top, and also the ends of thick hardwood painted with red bridge

paint and piled on a three stringer pile bottoms, with a crosser over —

each stringer and the fourth one on the tail-end in inch lumber.
Sincerely Yours,

Can You Stand Prosperity ?

We dread to see some managers get beyond a certain stage be-
cause we know that as soon as they do they will begin to go down
grade. They lose their heads. They begin to feel as though they
can accomplish anything. They run wild!

We see dozens of them fail every year—not in our own organ-
ization alone but in others. They come in and tell us how much
money they are making for their company and how little of it they
are getting. We shudder when we hear a bright young fellow be-
gin to talk that way. It means he is getting way out of line. His
perspective is distorted. :

His head is swelling. oy *

Ambition is alright so long as it is sensible and logical. Over-
ambition is bad. It makes fools out of men. They become sur-
charged with their own importance and becomehope TH figam bme
charged with their own importance and before they know it they
are looking in new places for greater opportunities when they ne-~
glected to dig the diamonds in the fields which they deserted. _

There was a little poem published in the “Tote-Road and “Trail”
by Douglas Malloch which every manager should read every now
and then whenever the “engine begins to race” a little. Perhaps you
know it. If not, you should. Here it is:

It’s easy to haul on the level,
A tote-road that’s smooth as the floor;
You may have to work like the devil sae
An’ pull till your shoulder is sore; ;
An’ even a hill may not best you,
A little upgrade now an’ then—
But there is one road that will test you,
The test of both horses and men.

Exploration Made by Hydroplane fal:
Recently the Laurentide Company, Gdand’Mere, P. Q., made ;

exploration of their northern limits by means of the company’s hy-
droplane. The trip was made by Lt. Stuart Graham, the pilot; his
mechanician, M. Kahre; Mr. M. C, Small, chief of the logging divi-
sion ;.C. R. Townsend, aerial photographer; and Philippe Charland,
one of the explorers of the company. Mr. Charland who had pre-
viously spent eight weeks in exploring the district by canoe, states
that the flight permitted of the work being checked up in less than
three hours.

Lumber Business is Big Economic Problem
and Successful Operation Materially Aided by Scientific Means—
How Industrial Research Assists in Conservation

included: “What Should be our

Extensive conservation of the national wealth of wood through
more efficient utilization was the keynote sounded throughout the

By recent decennial celebration at the Forest Products Laboratory at

Madison, Wisconsin. Over 200 visitors from all parts of the United

_ States were present, representing every line of wood-using industry,

‘including 59 wood-using associations and companies, 18 lumber
“manufacturing associations and companies, the Deans of 12 Forestry

ul schools, the United States Forest Service, and other visitors and
' friends. They came to pay tribute to the laboratory’s ten-year re-

cord of service to American industry.
The Forest Products Laboratory is a government institution of
industrial research in wood and all wood products maintained by the

United States Forest Service in co-operation with the University
of Wisconsin. In this work 220 engineers, wood technologists, man-
-_ufacturing specialists and assistants are employed in developing new
‘uses for wood and improving present manufacturing methods. In-

vestigations and experiments are undertaken both independently and
for individuals and companies on a co-operative basis. Results ob-
tained are disseminated through co-operative reports, commercial
demonstration, correspondence, government bulletins, mineographed
circulars, articles in the trade press, and practical instruction courses
given at the laboratory.

The program continued with inspection of the work and exhibits
of the laboratory. Guides in charge of small parties showed the vis-
itors the various lines of endeavor in which the laboratory is saving
millions of dollars a year to the people of the country. Following
the inspection trip ~was a period for recreation, consisting of auto-
mobile tours around the city, boat rides, and swimming.

Nearly 500 prominent lumbermen, manufacturers and users of
forest products, and members of the Forest Products Laboratory
attended the banquet. Lieut.-Col. W. B. Greeley, Chief Forester
of the United States, spoke on “Forests and National Prosperity.”
Following the address of Colonel Greeley, Mr. Max Mason, research
specialist of the National Council of Defence, gave an illustrated
talk explaining in detail the submarine detector which he perfected
during the war, and which was successfully used in European waters.

Mr. John Foley, forester for the Pennsylvania Railroad, was
chairman, introducing the speakers as follows: D. C. Everest, secre-
tary and general-manager, Marathon Paper Mills Company, “Some
Problems of the Pulp and Paper Industry”; H. T. Howe, chairman,
Research Extension Division, National Research Council, “Amer-
ica’s Place in Industrial Research”; and W. A. Gilchrist, represent-
ing the National Lumber Manufacturers’ Association on “Some
Problems of the Lumber Industry.”

Mr. Gilchrist spoke from the viewpoint of the lumberman. He
offered a plea for a more sympathetic understanding of the earnest
efforts of the lumbermen to protect. the forests and conserve wastes.
“The lumber business,” he said, “no different from any other com-
mercial industry, is an economic problem and failure confronts if

pursued in any other manner.” “The task that confronts us is one
of mere engineering—to establish rules covering the creation of
suitable mechanism. Who better can accomplish this than an en-
gineer co-operating with the woodsmen? Certain activities of this
wonderful institution, the Forest Products Laboratory, are attract-
ing the earnest attention of members of our industry. Being en-
gaged in the commercial side of the lumber business I hear com-
ments of the most. favorable nature that I fear do not come to the
ears of those sincere men engaged in directing this activity.”

The Forest Products Laboratory celebration afforded an oppor-
tunity to a number of forestry and lumbering organizations of hold-
ing conferences following the close of the decennial program. The
Executive Committe of the American Wood Preservers’ Association
met, and at the same time a conference on reforestation by
wood-using industries was held in co-operation with the representa-
tives of federal, state and lumber-producing interests. There were
also meetings of the deans of the forestry and engineering schools
of the country, and of the Inter-regional Technical Committee of
the National Lumber Manufacturers’ Association. Most of the 200
jumber men and lumber manufacturers who attended the Forest

Products Laboratory program remained for the various conferences.

‘At the conference on reforestation, attended by lumbermen and
‘representatives of wood-using industries, the program of addresses

Interest in Reforestation,” A. L. Osborne, vice-chairman Forestry
Committee of the National lumber Manufacturers’ Association; and
“Why Should the Wood-Using Industries be Interested in Reforest-
ation.”

A resolution appointing a committee, at the reforestation con-
ference, Madison, Wisconsin, was carried, as follows:

Whereas, representatives of wood-using industries in an initial
conference at Madison, Wisconsin, on July 23rd, 1920, have consid-
ered that their interest in reforestation is definite, and that any
legislation enacted or proposed for enactment should have the en- «|
dorsement of all wood-using industries, and whereas, there is a
need of securing adequate intelligence of all phases of reforestation
through cooperation with all energies active to that end—such as

The Forest Products Laboratory of the United States at Madison, Wis., which
recently celebrated its tenth anniversary

federal government, state government and private owned interests
co-operating with programs already initiated, and, whereas, there
must be some centralized agency to serve for the wood-using indus-
tries and report to them such progress as develops from time to time,
therefore be it |

Resolved, that it is the sense of this conference that the wood-
using industries declare a profound interest in reforestation: That
this conference authorize the chairman to appoint a committee whose ©
duty shall be to formulate a definite plan for organizing a committee
representing all the associations of wood users for the purpose of
considering present or proposed legislation dealing with reforesta-
tion and for formulating a program of federal and state legislation
which will represent the views and interests of the wood-using in-
dustries.

Every Farmer Might be Forester

The suggestion in regard to reforestation that came up at the
June meeting of Hastings County Council is worthy of being passed
on, says the Cobourg “World.” It was suggested that five acre plots |
in each township be set out to trees by way of experiment, planting.
them with pine and maple principally. A still better suggestion is
for every farm to have a reforestation plant of its own, by raising
young trees to take the place of those cut off. Both are good ways
of building for the future.

A forestry and print paper conference will be held at New Lon-
don, N. H., August 24, 25, and 26, it was announced by the Amer-
ican Forestry Association. Both the United States and Canada will

be represented. The meeting will be under the auspices of the Sos
ciety for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests.

Closed Shop Agreements
Declared Illegal

A knock-out blow has been
given the closed shop interests
in Hudson County, N. J., by a re-
cent permanent injunction grant-
ed by the Court of Chancery
against a number of labor un-
ions. “Contempt proceedings

‘growing out of the controversy

are also before the court, with in-
dications pointing to convictions
and severe sentences for a num-
ber of strike leaders who violat-
ed the restraining orders of the
court.

Trouble had been brewing for
some time with the teamsters and
truck drivers working for the
building supply dealers. When
the time arrived, earlier in the
year, for a renewal of the agree-
ment with these men they asked
for an advance of $10.00 a week
and a nine hour day instead of
ten. They had been receiving
$30.00 a week for motor truck
work and $28.00 a week for team-
sters. About fifteen nrms were
affected and they offered the men
an advance of $3.00 a week. This
was refused. A strike was: de-
clared and for eight or ten weeks
not a truck wheel turned. The
dealers then met, organized and

started a fight to a finish. The re- |

sult was an application to the
court for an injunction against
the strikers.

Following a hearing of the case
the court granted a temporary
injunction which was made per-
manent a few weeks later. The
order is a sweeping one. It not
only holds that “closed shop”
but also
bars strike benefits. In its de-
cision the court makes the fol-
lowing remarks:

“The proofs are satisfying that
the business and property rights
of complainants have been and
are seriously interfered with and
are threatened with irreparable
injury by the picketing, intimida-
tion and coercion indulged in by
former employees, and others as-
sociated and acting in concert
with them, under the direction, or
with the sanction of the defend-
ents or some of them.

oy és
be woop WOR

re

ed against the injunctive relief
sought relating to the execution
of the contract containing the
provisions for making the yards
of complainants ‘closed shops’
to all non-union men; the insist-
ment being that if such contracts
are illegal, complainants need not
perform them; and further, be-
cause complainants during the
past five years have executed,
without objection, contracts con-
taining similar provisions.

“Contracts of this character
containing provisions designed
to unionize an entire industry in
a territory as large as Hudson
County, do not appear to have
come directly before our courts
for consideration. In other juris-
dictions where they have been in-
volved, they have uniformly

been held to be illegal as against .

business policy. The illegality
of such contracts is pronounced
upon the fundamental principles
of our theory of government, to
which monopolies of any kind af-
fecting in any way the utmost
freedom of the individual to pur-
sue his lawful trade or business
are abhorrent.” .

Simultaneously with this deci-
sion, the building supply deal-
ers throughout the county adopt-
ed the principles of the open
shop, and publicly announced
this action. In this, the fifteen
concerns which secured the court
ruling were joined by others, un-
til a total of thirty building mate-
rial and lumber concerns of all
kinds stood together for this pol-
icy. And this is just where they
stand today.

In a general letter to the trade.
the dealers said in part:

“Strikes, corruption, assaults,
broken contracts, secondary boy-
cott, fines on employee and em-
ployer, expulsion from the union,
idleness, denial of right to work
and to do business, reduced pro-
duction, artificially high prices
and high cost of living are the

“Objection is acute urg-

companions of the closed shop

agreement. That is too high a
price to pay for the peace offered
by the labor leaders.” |

The Grand Jury of the county,
sitting at Jersey City, has also
been hearing a number of cases
dealing with assault and battery
growing out of the strike. and
that indictments will be found
seems certain. In charging this
jury, Justice Swayze, with direct
reference to the pending strike
cases, said:

.Breaches of the peace of
this character, which consist in

some cases of slugging a man

with a blackjack, in some cases
of throwing bricks at him, in
some cases of seizing by
force the control of the truck he
is driving—all are of a character
that may possibly result in death,
and if as a result of any of these

breaches of the peace death

the peace were likely, a i
to bring about their end es re
—all of these gentlemen may b

liable to indictment for murder.”

As the weeks have gone by and —
the open shop policy has shown
its many advantages, the dealers
have advanced the wages of th
men voluntarily. It is said by
employers that the men now
the payroll show a keen wi ing
ness to be “on the job” and to d

Ontario and the East

General market conditions in the lumber line remain prac-
tically unchanged during the past two weeks. Some wholesalers
report trade particularly active for this season of the year, while
others do not expect conditions to revive till a little later on in the
fall, when the farmers are through their harvesting and the promis-
ing yield of western crops is definitely assured. A number of rural
retail lumber dealers whose stock has been getting pretty low are
buying in moderate quantities.

Shingles have gone up considerably in price and the trend is
still upwards. Some. time ago they were sold at less than cost of pro-
duction and even then eastern representatives of western firms found
it difficult to dispose of several cars that were in transit, as falling
prices are not, as a rule, conducive to either satisfactory selling or
satisfactory buying. When the movement is upward a much better
tone prevails. Word received from the West is to the effect that
stocks with a number of B. C. mills are lower than they have been
_ for some years—in fact, a few companies report that material on
hand is less than last winter. There is a scarcity of No. 2 boards
and shiplap, but otherwise a fairly free movement in the way of
flooring, ceiling, trim, etc.

1 Building has been fairly active in most Ontario towns and also
' in the eastern provinces especially in the larger cities. The volume
has now begun to fall off as all speculative building is over for the
year. The farmers will undertake considerable work after the har-
‘vest, in the way of repairs and extensions, and this should consti-
tute a good fall trade for the next few months. On the recent an-
nual outing of the Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association to
Northern Ontario there was naturally much conversation along the
lines of supply and demand and the general expression of opinion
-_-was that matters during the past season had worked themselves otit
well, and few, if any, complaints were heard.
Eastern salesmen of B. C. lumber stocks look for a brisk de-
mand from line and other yards on the prairies within the next month
or two. A bumper harvest materially develops business in not only
ordinary commercial. avenues, but in forest products as well.
4% Prices on all eastern stuff, especially white pine, are holding firm
in the vast majority of instances and the car situation is renorted to
| be improved at several points. At some shipping centres, however,
cars are none too plentiful. Sawmills are busy throughout the east
eid north, with the result that some of them have already finished
their cut for the season and others will be through operations at the
end of the present month, having consumed all the logs available in
their respective territories. Large firms are now getting ready for
: logging for 1920-21 but some will not take out as ‘heavy a a quantity
. a of “amber as last year. Owing to the rather dark outlook in Europe,
due to the Polish situation there may be another war, which would
further restrict the present limited export trade.
It is stated that owing to the probable increase of freight rates
at an early date some shippers are sending out their consignments
as rapidly as possible in order to escape the higher tariff. The lumber-
men, as a whole, do not view the increase in rates with any degree
of favor, but the law of circumstance holds sway now-a-days, and
there is no escape from the “vicious circle” of mounting expenses of
_ production and distribution.
i. There is considerable talk heard regarding values which will
_— prevail this fall and the general view is that they will continue.strong
_ and that there is nothing in sight to-day to feel nervous about. The
"wholesalers believe that a dealer who wants to continue doing a
_ satisfactory business had better keep a fair stock. Ot course they
admit a possibility of lower prices, but, on the other hand, there are
many factors, chief among them the higher freight rates expected,
that may cause price advances. It is hard to tell fhat is ahead, but
the chances seem to be in favor of continued firm prices. The atti-
tude of the retailers fits in fairly with this point of view, as they
seem to be buying quite steadily.

United States

: ~The shortage of railway cars and the promising crop prospects
«in all parts of the country are engaging the attention of the lumber
_ trade. Building has fallen off and “business with most lumber dealers
ais quiet. The whole situation is that there is no building going on
in the ordinary sense of the word. There are, of course, some large
office, hotel and theatre projects which have been practically paid for
already, and at that, use very, little lumber, but the ordinary building,

_ about the end of last month, combined with the Baie

industrial and home, which consumes the stock of the retail yard,
practically stopped. Although they are busy to a certain extent v
repair work and the like, none of the yards lave any real building
jobs on hand. me

Recent advices from a Boston firm say that spruce sloud hele
fairly firm and save for the necessary sacrifice of some transit car:
the market did not fall below $60.00 until the last few days «
month. Unfortunately certain of the older wholesale houses had
shipped in, apparently on consignment, as they most certainly
given it away. We know of an instance of Nova Stotia R
Spruce which was sold at $47.00 and, to quote another case ¢
2 x 4 Eastern Random Spruce at $51.00. Consequently |
quote the market in Random as say from $50.00 to $55 00, with ¢
ension stock bringing from $54.00 to $58.00. ;

The gravity of the car situation and its relation to t
deliveries have not been over estimated. Some proc
are fairly well supplied with cars, but the scarcity is inet
in some parts of the Douglas fir region, a crisis is th

will of necessity be maintained. There is some rit in th
since coastwise shipping has been resumed.

. Douglas fir and yellow pine prices have retained the
that have been made and are fairly stable. Other structu
are firm.

The most important development in hardwoods i is the .
in export demand. Though bookings are not yet large, as c
with pre-war standards, there has been appreciable ‘oy q
increase is anticipated.. Domestic demand remains an
cessions are more frequent when stock is pushed o
Altogether hardwoods are somewhat weaker than ote
weeks, but the outlook points to improvement, as_ ‘stocks a

The hemlock situation continues quite firm, the slig
in yellow pine and fir having reflected advantageously to 1
manufacturers. Demand, while not heavy, is about aS EOS om
usual at this time of the year. ;

Great Britain

So far as hardwoods are concerned it appears almost ;
that the establishing of lower prices will be a lengthy - proce
slackening off of the demand temporarily quickened the a
but this factor alone will not make for a permanent decrease i values.
Much depends on the new conditions that have arisen in the United |
States since the war. These conditions in regard ‘to labor, trans-
port, and finance will for a long time prevent values” falling « sid-
erably. That a wide margin exists between pre-war rices and ae bc
ruling to-day is very true, and it is equally true — j
reductions will be imperative before the trade can be snide rar

to learn that f.o.b. prices are somewhat above those asked by ship-
pers for prompt loading.

During the last fortnight there have certainly been some signs
of a drop in freights. America is leading the way in this direction.
During the last few days a reduction of 10 dollars per milli. has
been made in rates to the Orient. This is a very big concession and
May pave the way to a larger business from the Pacific side. Un-
fortunately, rates from the White Sea and Baltic have not dropped
to such an extent, though there is no reason why they should not.
They are far too high at present.

[f shipowners can afford to take such a big reduction for Amer-
ican and Canadian cargoes, there is no reason why they should not
be able to do so for European cargoes. Fortunately, things are now
moving in the right direction for charterers in the timber trade.
New boats are continually being put on the water, and many steam-
ers formerly running for Government account are now being releas-
ed and getting back to their normal business.

ber trade. At the same time prices are holding firm. The quiet-
ness is due to the usual summer lull and also to the uncertainty as
to the railway situation. The subject has been under consideration
of the Montreal Lumber Association.

There seems to be a general opinion that the railways have no
other option than to ask for increased rates in view of the higher
costs forced upon them. ‘Traders naturally do not fayor these in-
creases, as they mean dearer lumber, and a tendency to restrict the
use of this and other building material. An opinion is expressed to
the effect that some classes of railway employees are overpaid, and
that it is about time a halt was called to the constant demands for
higher pay.

There is little or no alteration in the car situation, which is a
great handicap to the prompt shipment of lumber.

The demand from the States is slow, although it is expected that
there will be a revival in November or December.

The total value of building permits issued by the city for the
month of July amounted to $1,105,785, as against $1,484,999, for the
corresponding month last year. The total value of permits for the
first seven months of this year was $9,660,029, as against $4,372,423
for the same period last year.

Lath is quiet, with a better supply of the wood.

The B. C, section is inactive, the demand being off for the time
being.

Pulpwood is fetching very high prices, the supp!y being limited.
The pulp and paper mills are turning their supplies of lumber into
pulp, the high prices obtainable for this and for paper, making it
more profitable to use the lumber for this purpose.

A fair amount of lumber is being shipped to the United King-
dom. The long expected reduction of rates is new in effect, the
liners quoting 200s. per standard instead of 300s. The competition
of tramps has forced this reduction, the liners finding that the bulk
of the freight was being placed with tramps. It is reported that
offers by the latter have been made as low as 175s. The British mar-
kets are dull, but if the housing schemes go through there should be
a steady consumption of the large stocks.

Overseas Shipments from Quebec Show Big Change

There has been an appreciable change in the shipping activities
at the port of Quebec from July 25th that have caused a large ship-
ment of sawn lumber and timber to the United Kingdom, apart from
the wooden goods previously shipped and referred to in the last re-
port published in the “Canada Lumberman.” All local exporters are
sharing in the business. The brisk business now being experienced
is due to.the number of ocean steamers coming here and the drop
in the rate of freights initiated by the tramp steamers. The freight
rates have dropped from 300 shillings to 200 shillings per standard
on sawn lumber, with a proportionate decrease on timber. Local and
United Kingdom export and United States shipments indicate a
brisker trade with the possibility of a further reduction in freight
rates. Lumber and timber merchants consider that the present re-
duction, that should have taken place long ago, is not yet sufficient,
and give credit to the tramp steamers for the decrease.

per standard f.o.b. basis for 1 x 6%/7 p.e. and with freights to the

ft. of white pine logs, at a reported price of over one million dollars. _
and it is expected that the entire quantity will reach consumers by
way of the Manchester Ship Canal. “ag

The collapse in freights has tended to cheapen the price of floor-
ings, but up to the present it has not stimulated business. In vari-
ous centres, such as Hull, Manchester and London there can still be
purchased plenty of battens at sufficiently reasonable prices to per-
mit ‘of planing, and selling at figures which easily compete with the
imported article.

It is probably from this cause that the Swedish and Norwegian
stocks are somewhat neglected. The Norwegian exporters are still
quoting from £44 10s. to £45 10s. c.i.f. to London; also West Coast
ports, but with little response. Swedish quotations are around £38

ast Coast at £7 per nominal standard, or round about £5 15s. for
the actual standard. The c.i.f. cost is very close to the Norwegian,

it not being overlooked that the Swedish exchange is against this —
country to the extent of 20s. to 30s. per standard. "

SPECIAL REPORTS
ON CONDITIONS AT
HOME AND ABROAD

Besides vessels which sailed last week for the United Kingdom
the steamer.Orthia is at the Louise Docks taking on a full cargo of |
timber and deals for Greenock. The Government merchant marine
steamer, Canadian Ranger, sailed lately with half cargo of deals for
Liverpool, and the steamer Grampian Range, booked for Manchester,
is now loading with half cargo of timber and deals. The steamer
Cairndha is now loading for transportation to Newcastle and Leith.
The C. P. O. S. will leave on her eastbound trip with part cargo of
deals, and the Empress of France, due to arrive at Quebec soon, will
carry part cargo of deals. Thus, it will be seen, that shipping activi-
ties at the port of Quebec, in regard to the lumber and timber trade,
have improved. ; '

The pulwood business ;at Quebec in connection with move-

ment to the United States, is practically at a standstill on account
of the shortage of cars. The interests here make the statement that
they haye large orders to fill for United States pulp and paper mills
for peeled and rough wood, but cannot forward the goods for want 5
of cars. They claim that the Quebec pulp and paper mills, who pay
an advance in car rates over the pulpwood exporters, are favored.
The pulp people are becoming nervous over the situation, feeling
that they will not be able to obtain the car service needed for move-
ment until after the railway rates are increased by thirty per cent,
which will react upon the mills who have made their contracts un-
der the present rate of transportation, and will have to bear the
burden of the increase.

The reference made in the last issue of the “Canada Lumber-
man” regarding the grafting in the matter of freight cars, has caused
considerable comment in the trade circle. In making his rounds of
the offices of both the shippers of lumber and pulpwood to the Un-
ited States, your correspondent was amazed to learn that the sys-
tem was not confined to one or two businesses, but was general.

A member of a leading Quebec firm, who ships largely in lum-
ber to the United States, informed the “Canada Lumberman’s” re-
presentative that the practice was well known to the trade and very
general. Two pulpwood exporters to the United States market were
more outspoken and enlarged on the outrage. They said they not
only had to pay $5 per car to the representative of the American divi- att
sional superintendent or traffic superintendent, but had to bribe con- ~
ductors of freight trains to secure cars. In explanation the “Canada
Lumberman’s” informants stated that, by passing the conductors of
cetrain railways hauling empty freight cars, they would induce them
to uncouple and leave two or three cars and have them on the sid-
ings where they were required, and then proceed on with their
trains. How the conductors later got away with the checking of
such cars on reaching their destination, they never heard or enquir- ~
ed. They said the practice of graft in connection with the movement
cf Canadian cars from Canada and moved over the border, for in-
stance at Rouse’s Point, though strictly prohibited by the payment —
of $5 on each car loaded with pulpwood, was still in vogue. The ~~
imparters of the above information admit that they were just as ~
guilty as the railway men who imposed the graft and, in justifica~ =
tion, declared that they were compelled, and are, in a large measure,
still compelled to participate in the practice; otherwise they would —
be stalled in their business and the supply of the demand of their
customers in the United States.

The exposition now made it too serious to pass unnoticed and

calls for rigid investigation and exposure of the guilty persons.

General Demand Improves at Ottawa—Prices Firm |

Symptoms of an upward drift, indicative of good fall and future
busiuess, evidenced themselves in the Ottawa lumber market during
the opening period of August. Prices remained absolutely firm, and
after several weeks of dropping away, the demand began to come
back, particularly in the white pine grades. Spruce stocks, which
had been dragging, and for which a drop in prices had been looked
for, remained firm as to price, though the demand did not show any
great signs of improvement.

The market, as a whole, during the latter days of July and the
first part of August, appeared to take an unexpected upward swing,
which certain of the trade interpreted as a possible meaning that
prevailing high prices for lumber were not fictitious, but were based
on increased manufacturing costs and the advance cost of doing
business.

While the demand and the car situation showed improvement,
those in the inner-circles of the trade saw certain contingencies which
might arise, which would effect the demand seriously. One was the
cement shortage, the other the possibility of the award of the Board
of Arbitration in connection with the dispute of the members of the
Inside Woodwarkers and Factory Workers Union, which was heard
before the Board in July. In certain labor circles at Ottawa it was
predicted that if the award of the Board was not satisfactory to
the workers, that they would again go out on strike. If they do so
they will again tie up the woodworking factories and stop the pro-
duction of stocks and products of such plants which are needed for
building operations, the extent of which, in turn, reflect on the do-
mestic demand of the market. ,

The idea that existing high prices for lumber would continue to
prevail in the Ottawa Valley for several months to come, was fairly
well established, by information given to the correspondent of the
“Canada Lumberman” to the effect that the sawmill cut of the Ot-
tawa Valley mills this year will be shortened, and that probably the
gross cut will be some millions of feet shy. One of the big six biggest
producers of sawn lumber, Shepard and Morse, closed down its saw-
mill for the season in late July. It was an exceptional happening,
and was not due to a shortage of mill labor, but of logs,

Though a good labor supply for the sawmills appeared available
there were indications that the general cut of the valley would not
be up to that of last year. Some mills made every effort to exceed last
season’s output, but were seriously handicapped by low water in
their driving operations and a shortage of logs at their mill ponds.
The majority of the sawmills in the Ottawa Valley continued to op-
erate, but the extent of their operations was nowhere near those of
the pre-war years, when a log saw could be heard running just as
well at night as at high noon.

That prices had shown no tendency to come down during the

. crucial summer months was accepted as a good omen by most of

the trade that present rates were not going to recede. The expected
short cut of the sawmills, together with a growing demand indicated
that quotations at least would hold firm for some time.

’ Foreign cars for lumber shipments became more plentiful, but
shipments on contract orders were rather slow.

The outlook for future building operations at Ottawa continued
to remain good outside of the shortage of cement, which temporarily
volume of
building, especially commercial, went steadily ahead, and prospects
were that future business in the building lines would be good if
cement could be secured. For the month of July building permits
had an estimated valuation of $488,936, there being 54 permits issued.
For the first seven months of the year, permits were issued as fol-
lows: January $79,010, February $57,500, March $102,775, April
$306,710, May $549,590, June $224,600, July $488,936. Total $1,-
807,021.

The labor situation with the local sawmills remained good and
workmen were reported to be fairly plentiful. The woodworking fac-
tories continued operation up to the end of the first week of August,
the union workers who went out on strike on June 12th having
agreed to return to their work pending the decision of the Board of
Arbitration hearing their dispute. The manufacturers did not ap-
point a representative to the Board, but one was named by the De-
partment of Labor. The woodworking plants and companies did not
agree to become parties to the board, nor did they in any way bind
themselves to abide by its award. Even if an award is brought in
unfavorable to the woodworking plants, the Department of Labor,
under the Industrial Disputes Act has no authority to enforce it.

Labor for the woods camps, which are now being put in by sev-

eral of the companies, was reported to be scarce, but it was believed °

by the heads of the companies that it would continue to grow more
plentiful after the haying season had finished and part of the grain
crop had been harvested. Some of the companies have increased
their wages for woods labor, paying the ordinary bush hand from

sixty-five to seventy-five dollars per month, with cooks and other
help as high as $125 for the same period.

Lath and shingles continued to remain in fair demand with stocks
low, and prices remaining pretty much as they were during the open- —
ing period of July.

Empire Timber Exhibit was Success

The Empire Timber Exhibition, held in London, England, July
6th to 24th, proved of exceptional interest to lumber importers in the -
United Kingdom, and there can be little doubt but that Colonial ~
shippers will greatly benefit as a result of this “trade within ye.
Empire” movement,

The exhibition was arranged by the Department of Over:
Trade—a department of the British Government Board of Trade
This important branch has been established with the sole object of
assisting British and Colonial trade. The object of the Empire
Timber Exhibtion was to bring into more general use the numerous —
timbers of the British Empire. ; se
_, Britain’s dependance on foreign countries for her timber sup-
plies, prior to the war, is remarkabe, but it is significant to note
that when the foreign sources of supply were cut off during the war
recourse was had to Empire-grown products and with very g
ing results. The introduction to the official catalogue encautae ey
remarks: “It is reasonable, therefore, to suppose that be use
may also be made of them under peace conditions.” Rae

The stand of the Canadian Government was particularly well
arranged; it was replete with specimens of every kind of lumber
cut in Canada, together with a generous display of manufactured
products and, under the direction of: Mr. Wm. B. Stokes, of the
Forest Products Laboratories of Canada, McGill University, Mon-
treal, visitors were able to command the most authentie informa-
tion possible regarding the Dominion’s limber and woodworking
industries.

Alongside some specimens wire wound water pipe made in Bri-
tish Columbia of Douglas fir was an Elizabethan wooden water pipe _
lent by the committee of the Guildhall Library, City of London, and __
which is still in a good state of preservation; although of primitive
construction the latter evidenced the fact that wooden water pipe
will stand the test of time. Models of frame houses, which are ship- |
ped ready for construction, rotary-cut veneer, wood pulp and wood }
pulp products, including ladies’ hose, and a number of other pro-
ducts too numerous to mention were admirably displayed. —

Mr. Wm. B. Stokes has kindly promised to furnish readers of
the “Canada Lumberman” with a special article calculated to be of -
great value to Canadian lumber interests, which will be published
in an early issue.

Borneo Timber Will Be Developed

Two large British companies operating in the far East have
consolidated their projects for further developing the timber resour-
ces of British North Rorneo. The contemplated program of the new
company thus formed to exploit more extensive concessions will ul-
timately entail an expenditure of from $2,500,000 to $3,750,000 gold.
This develooment is expe¢ted to affect the entire timber and lumber
trade of the far East, and_perhaps quite appreciably that of the
United States along the Asiatic coast. - ;

Woman Will Recover Sunken Logs

Sunken treasure in Lake Erie is the goal of Mrs. Margaret C.
Goodman of New York city, formerly of Detroit. But this treasure
is neither gold nor silver. It is jfist logs. Nevertheless these logs
constitute a fortune—they are a cargo of walnut and white oak logs -
sunk in Lake Erie in 1859, when a three-masted schooner carrying
them from a Canadian port went down with all hands save one.

Mrs. Goodman is the only woman in the world, it is said, en-
gaged in deep sea salvaging. She organized the company that raised —
the copper cargo of the steamer Pewabic, sunk off Thunder Bay,
near Alpena, before the Civil War. One single piece of copper in
mass form recovered from the Pewabic was sold for $3,500. The

- amount recovered ran into a big total.

tor of the Mutual Insurance Company, and an expert on the fungi e

yard which is believed can cope with any ordinary fire that might
become ignited, but the spraying sytsem now in use will probably -
give little chance for its employment.

Dinner Time
and Everybody Happy

“Come and Get it” sounds good to the men in a Lumber
‘Camp when they know that the food is well-cooked, plen-
tiful and varied.

cr)

RED SEPARATED
ie ALL USES

_ A variety of well-cooked food does more than any other
thing to keep men well and happy. “The same old thing”
‘meal after meal has started many an exodus from camp,
but the camp where the food is best usually has little diffi-
eulty in getting all the men needed.

The Cook who is supplied with plenty of Klim does not
__ worry about the “sameness” of the food getting on the
men’s nerves. He is able to prepare plenty of nourish-
_ ing dishes which KLIM makes possible.

_ KLIM is pure powdered separated milk. It is compact in bulk, easy to ship and store. Keeps fresh
and sweet until entirely used. It requires only a cool, dry place for storing.

2 -KLIM i is packed in 10-pound tins, six tins to the case. One pound of KLIM will make four quarts.

. - When making up your list of supplies estimate your requirements on this basis, order from any
4 wholesale supply house.

Heavy Duty Resaws

There’s no need to present arguments to show need of greater production at this time.
The pressing question is, “HOW?”

et The Resaw has shown its ability to increase production and lower costs. There is no
a a better or more complete line of resaws than the Yates V-series. They are used by the
largest lumber producers all over the country.

There are three sizes, the V-5, V-6, and V-7, that it will pay you well to investigate.

“EXTRA” “STANDARD” ‘ACME WATERPROOF”

These three brands are made for three different services and each brand is the best
quality made from selected hides with the stretch taken out.

“Goodhue Belts” stretch less than any other belt by 15 to 25 per cent. This
quality effects a great saving because it is unnecessary to be continually
shortening the belt to-keep it taut.

“Acme Waterproof” brand is made for the wet places in a mill and
will give a remarkable service under the most trying conditions.

When you buy a belt—buy a Goodhue. Prices and: particulars on re-
quest.

| Where the “Bell” Shows Supremacy

up steep grades

over rough roadbeds

It is here that the advantages of the geared
locomotive over the direct connected type
is shown.

Another point in favor of the “Bell” is its
cost; when compared with the direct con-
nected locomotive it will be found to be
much less for a given amount of tractive
power.

The cost of rails is often reduced one-half.
The number of ties required is very much
less.

The “Bell” operates on cheap fuel oil, dis-
, 2 24 tillate or kerosene, and can be easily handled

RESPONSIBILITY

At night—when the people of your town are taking recreation—
in places of amusement or in their homes—this is the time
when the safety of your esr nays A weighs most heavily on
those responsible for its protection from a great fire.

The unexpected fire comes to every town and too often the
distress and loss of life and property, left in its wake, can-
not be reckoned.

The conscience of those responsible is clear if a fire alarm
box is at every main street intersection. The

Northern Electric

GAMEWELL
Fire Alarm System

is the proven quickest and most positive known means of
alarm. The telephone cannot compare with it for speed and
accuracy. Instantaneous in its action it utilizes pre-
cious seconds—no time is lost. In most cases, the fire
is under control from its infancy.

The fact that 99% of the fire alarm systems in Can-
ada are Northern Electric Gamewell has saved the
Dominion untold thousands of dollars and many lives.

this important matter, call on us.

Centro, 135 miles in 4 hours 37 minutes. Average speed 34 miles per
hour. Entire distance without stop. No relief driver. Rain from
Santa Ana to Oceanside. Speed limit observed in all towns in transit.

He in this Duplex Limited is the defin-
ite practical achievement of the motor
truck industry’s aim to produce a truck that
could freight 114 to 2 tons at high speed.

This Duplex Limited is no mere city delivery
wagon—but a strong rugged road truck capable
of hauling 3000 to 5000 pounds over city or country
roads, and doing it on schedule time.

Designed and built for pneumatic tires—not
merely equipped with them—the Limited travels
easily. and smoothly enough for even very fragile
freight. Minimum vibration and shock saves wear
and tear—and adds longer life to the truck.

Its motor is wonderfully rugged and powerful—
and when turning over only about 1300 r.p.m. it
drives the truck along at 25 miles an hour on high.
Gear ratio is 514 to 1 insuring high speed at min-
imum wear on motor and other moving parts.

Electrically equipped throughout—which means
economy of gasoline as drivers will shut off motor
when truck is not running.

The radiator is suspended in patented Duplex
Spring Suspension—which allows }4 inch sidewise
and 1 inch up and down movement before radiator
touches anything solid. Prevents damage to radi-

ator solderings and eliminates the great source of
radiator leakage.

Lamps equipped with Nitrogen bulbs are mounted
on radiator to prevent bulb damage by vibration.

Motor meter made part of radiator shell to pre-
vent loss by theft.

Ball bearings used throughout—engineering tests
show it requires 29 times less power to move a given
load when ball bearings are used. This means a
gasoline saving due to less friction.

Special flapper valve in oil filler pipe keeps sand
and grit out of oil reservoir.

From every angle of mechanical value and econo-
mical operation this Duplex Limited is a real truck
—the very kind you have been looking for in your
business.

The Chemical Analysis

Crucible steel making is far from an exact
science. A large percentage of heats go
wrong. If we made our own steel, we
would be under temptation to excuse un-
important variations from perfection and
work these ‘“‘slightly off’’ batches into our
products.

But we don’t make our steel. We leave
this to the greatest crucible steel makers in
the world. And as we subject each saw
plate from the steel makers to minute
chemical analysis and physical inspection
and test, we can be and are mercilessly
exacting. |

Our metallurgists see that no “‘slightly off”
batches of steel are used in 4zkins Sterling
Quality Saws, therefore you can depend
upon their uniformity and efhciency to
give you maximum production.

QUESTION No. 10
| Why is it.

that so few users of bab-
bitt, give so little con-
sideration to the alloying
of the metal!
Content is, of course, an important
' factor in the manufacture of a bab-
bitt, but surely no more so than the
alloying. For, a babbitt that is not
properly alloyed may lack homo-
| geneity and be the cause of the bab-
bitt squashing or creeping out; or it
may contain hard-points that will
| score the shaft.
In the manufacture of SYRACUSE BABBITTS we alloy
scientifically and with exacting care, assuring a babbitt abso-
lutely homogeneous and free from hard-points.
For your very severest requirements, such as in your gangs, you
should use

ALUMINUM GENUINE BABBITT

the babbitt of super-strength—the babbitt that has for years been
peer in the lumber industry. Write for a sample.

Make Saws Cut
And Planers Hum

Your saws may be well filed, swaged nicely and rounded
perfectly, but unless your mill’s belting is correct you do not
get an honest day’s work from your machinery.

You will find potential assistance and an increased out-
put by using Graton & Knight Standardized Series Leather
Belting. This series is composed of a number of brands and
types of belting standardized both in manufacture and appli-

i

cation.

Why not avail yourself of the opportunity of calling in
a G & K engineer and letting him analyze your power trans-
mission. You incur no obligation for this service. Your
power transmission must be right if your production is go-
ing to be right.

Every G & K Belt will give rugged service because it is

The Most Modern Machines
Skidding ee of All Sizes

Lidgerwood Machines
were the pioneers in steam
logging and have been
constantly improved to
meet the advancing re-
quirements of lumbermen.

Portable High Spar Overhead Skidder

A statement of what
logging is costing at any
particular operation, with-
out taking into considera-
tion the local conditions,
and without considering
every element of cost
from the felling of the
tree to delivery at mill, is
worthless.

Lidgerwood Skidders
are the only skidders pro-
vided with interlocking
drums and with a mech-
anical slack puller.

In deciding the cost of
skidding by any type of
machine not only -should
the cost of operating the
Portable Ground Skidder machine be considered,
but also the amount of
timber that will be skidded
at each setting, the railroad construction necessary, and time
lost in repairs.
We have paid special attention to the construction of Cableway
Skidders required by conditions in British Columbia and the
most successful machines now in use in that province were in-
stalled by us.

ISH COLUMBIA
WESTERN HEM.-
LOCK is possessed of a
grain surpassed in sheer
attractiveness) by the
grains of few timber spe-
cies. Certainly it is the
most ornamental of West-
ern woods for inside finish-
ing.

Taking ‘a high polish, free
from pitch, and showing a beau-
tiful grain, it is the ideal wood for
wainscot, panels and floors. It is
hard and not easily dented and has
a uniformly firm grain which on dry-
ing does not show the minute corrugations characteristic
of certain timbers having a marked difference between
summer and fall wood.

For strength, ease of working and freedom from shake,
BRITISH COLUMBIA WESTERN HEMLOCK is becom-

ing more noted throughout the country each day.

We'll be glad to send you BRITISH COLUMBIA WEST-
ERN HEMLOCK in mixed carloads, along with our other BIG CHIEF Brand Spee- os

70 CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

To Canadian
Hardwood Lumbermen

A few years ago the membership of the National Hardwood Lum-

ber Association in Canada was limited to five or six concerns and
we had no regular Canadian inspection service, all national in-
spection work in the Dominion being handled by sending over on
call bonded inspectors from the States.

It Is Different To-Day

Now we maintain permanent and adequately-manned inspection
service stations in both Toronto and Montreal, which are cover-
ing the Canadian hardwood field completely. Our present Cana-
dian membership numbers

Fifty-Five

hardwood manufacturers and wholesalers distributed through
three provinces.

There is a reason for this progress, as all of our members know.
That’s why they are members. You are invited to send for a list
of these members and ask them regarding the benefits they re-
ceive through their membership. The subject should interest you.

Packard equipped with “Roll-Off”’ and Trailer for Lumber Hauling. The ability of a Packard to operate for 10 years

or more,.makes it more economical to use Packards than “other makes”’
that wear out in 2, 3 or 4 years’ time

Does the Lumberman Realize the Economy
of Regular Maintenance Service

HE Lumberman who handles
heavy loads every day finds the
solution to lower haulage costs in
regular, expert maintenance for his
trucks.
That is why he asks, before he buys
a truck today, ‘‘What sort of main-
tenance organization will you put be-
hind my truck?”

In more than 200 Packard Service
Stations you find Uniform Service
Methods, Uniform Stock- keeping
Methods—a uniform system in place
of the haphazard, time-consuming
practice found in the average repair
shop.

You will find more than one hundred
repair operations standardized—work-
manship improved, time saved, costs
reduced.

Co-operation between owner and
Packard Service is carried out by a
system of monthly truck inspection,
whereby more efficient operation and
maintenance are assured.

The Packard Technical Service Divi-
sion was established to give the fullest
advantage of Packard’s 44 points of
engineering superiority, and the long
life built into every Packard Truck.

And the truck user who is anxious
to put his hauling system on a solid
economical foundation—will quickly
see the advantage of such expert con-
tinued maintenance in reducing his
hauling costs.

We have prepared an interesting
booklet for the Lumberman. Sent by
nearest Packard Distributer on
request.

| a ae The Lumber Industry and National Development

ITH this issue the “Canada Lumberman” completes forty years of continuous publication. In a comparatively
young country such as Canada, this attainment may justly inspire feelings of satisfaction, if not pride, in having
contributed in some degree to the development of such an important industry as that of lumber. The occasion
is marked by the publication of a number in which features of unusual interest are presented relating to the

‘Sao (| varied activities, expansion and status of the lumber industry. Every effort has been made to impart timely

| 4 Wy ergo and useful information on the different phases of the lumberman’s life, from logging operations right through

‘a to. the distribution end. There is possibly no great national industry regarding which more misconceptions and romantic ideas

prevail than in respect to lumber and logging, The very nature of the work, its open and free character; its challenge to mother

‘nature and the elements; its picturesque surroundings, and the cosmpolitan nature of its employees impart to the whole under-
taking an irresistible charm and magnetic touch that give rise to many false impressions.

The tremendous risks which the lumberman has to undergo, the possibilities of heavy loss; the speculation with the forces

of earth—the heat, rain, snow, ice—not to speak of the human problem, are known only too well to those who have to bear
_ the burden and brunt of all these circumstances. Then there are the fluctuations in the market conditions; the ebb and flow

of demand and supply; the’barrier of scarcity of cars; congested terminals; ascending freight rates and other agencies over

which the lumberman has no control. f

Lumber is not a product that is made to-day and sold to-morrow. It is not.a commodity that can be merchandised in

7 a week, a month, or even six months for. From the time cutting starts in the bush until the finished product is in the hands of
a “the consumer and final settlement made, often two years or more elapse and, therefore, the lumber manufacturer must be a
. man of vision, industry, foresight and faith. :

Anything that will assist any branch of this splendid national enterprise to adopt the latest ideas in the development and ex-

‘tension of its service, reduce overhead, maintenance and other expenses, and help to build trade on a larger and broader

foundation, is worth while and is the purpose animating the instructive and edifying articles which appear in this edition,

Se _ through the kindness and co-operation of leading exponents of the trade.

While a good deal of attention has been given to. operation, manufacturing and distribution, there is considerable anxi-

ety prevailing regarding the future in the matter of prices and production. While each one has his views respecting the days

to come, these are often biased through personal connections or the angle at which the observer is placed. Those who are able

* to take a wide, general grasp of the industrial situation, and more particularly as it affects the lumber Industry, are assured
that the world will need lumber and need it badly for many years to come. They are convinced that as long as the high cost

| sof living keeps up, and an ascending scale of wages is required to meet the conditions that prevail, there will be no permanent
| decline in present quotations. Wve

kee The expense of production is high and is growing still higher. Until there is a radical change in basic environs it would
| seem that no further declines can take place in value, and, judging by the shipping perplexities it may become increasingly
difficult for certain distributors to secure an ample supply of cars.

___-While the past few months have been quiet in the luntber line the volume of business has been reasonably large. There
’ are no deterrent factors that should undermine confidence or optimism. There are encouraging signs on every side, and the

$ future contains much of promise and satisfaction. The Canadian lumber industry will play its part in the future as it has in

pholding its own interests and standing and, at the same time, working hand in hand with other huge undertak-

Modernizing the Logging Industry in Canade
Machinery is Superceding Hand Labor in Nearly All Other Activities — Easter
Conference Should Stimulate More Economic Production

By Roland D. Craig, Forest Engineer, Commission of Conservation

Changes in the forest and im
the demand for forest products
are bringing about new condi-
tions in eastern Canada, to which
the time-honored methods oi
logging are not adapted. The
tiniber. supplies are each year
receding farther from the main
fivers which for generations have
carried the logs to the mills.
The unlimited quantities of the grades and kinds of timber once de-
manded are no longer available, and now almost every kind and
quality of wood can be sold at a good price if it can only be brought
to the market.

Not so many years ago white pine was thé main and, in many
cases, the only species taken out of the woods. To-day nearly twice
as much spruce lumber is cut as pine and, in addition, there is al-
most as much spruce used for pulp as there is pine cut. Hemlock
used to be left to rot in the woods after the bark had been taken
off for tanning, but is now a high-priced lumber tree. The despised
Jack-pine is one of the chief sources of railway ties and is becoming a
tactor in lumber production. Even balsam fir and poplar are worth
about. $20 a cord as pulpwood. The hardwoods, which have been
considered weeds in the forest, find a ready market when manufac-
tured. At present, the equivalent of over two hundred million feet
of hardwood is cut annually, but about one-third of it is used for
distillation. The decreasing supply of hardwoods such as oak, hick-
ory and ash in the United States has forced our manufacturers and
builders to use our home-grown birch and maple with the result that
the demand exceeds the supply. i

Adjustment to Meet New Conditions

These changes in the source of supplies and in the market re-
quirements call for the adjustment of methods of logging. to meet
the new conditions. Great progress has been made in the manufac-
ture of forest products. The modern sawmill with its gang saws,
live rolls, and automatic trimmers is a vast improvement on the
sawmill of fifty or even twenty years ago. The pulp mill of to-day
is a most highly developed organization. of intricate machinery re-
quiring the greatest technical skill in construction and operation.
But in the woods, the logging methods employed fifty or a hundred
years ago are still practiced with comparatively little improvement.
Dependence is still placed on the physical strength of men and
horses and the uncertain transportation of the streams and rivers
though it may take two years to effect delivery.

the labor situation is constantly becoming more difficult. Log-
ging, as now conducted, provides only temporary seasonal employ-
ment and, under the prevailing conditions, does not attract the most
efficient labor nor is .it possible to pay as high wages as prevail in
other industries.

The operations in the wood are dependent on weather condi-
tions. There must be the right amount of snow and the right tem-
perature to keep the roads in shape and the thaw must be at the
proper rate to facilitate driving. If labor can be made more efficient
by the use of logging machinery that could be operated throughout
the year and if transportation independent of the weather can be

woods, if properly dried, can }
driven short distances on goo
streams, driving is not adapte
to the exploitation of hardwoods
generally. Even with the softwoods there fs a heavy loss through
sinkage. Some pulp operators estimate their annual wastage from
this source at over 10 per cent, and in the case of balsam fir, as high
as 15 per cent. 7:
From the standpoint of maintaining the production of the sof
woods, as well as utilizing the hardwoods, it is essential that all the
mature timber should be cut simultaneously. When the conifers are
removed from a mixed stand, the hardwoods so completely suppres
any small softwoods that may be on the ground, or may subsequent
ly start, that they have little chance of ever attaining merchantable
size. If the hardwoods were removed, however, in the majority of
cases a second crop oi conifers would be secured naturally. ye

Simultaneous Cutting of Timber

Artificial reforestation is no doubt practicable under certain
conditions, but all we can do in this direction for many years will
have little effect in supplying our forest industries and, as a general
policy, we must depend on nature, guided by systematic cutting, to
maintain the kind of forest. production desired. Any improvements
in the present methods of logging which will facilitate the utiliza-
tion of the hardwoods will not only increase the immediate returns
to the industry, but will make for a better succeeding crop. .

The solution of the problem of increased utilization of the forests —
seems to be in the improvement of transportation and it is time
that consideration be given to the means used in other regions or,
if necessary, develop our own methods which will be suitable to the ~
local conditions. In some regiosn the use of trucks has proved eco-
nomical even when necessitating considerable improvements of the
roads. Tractors, especially of the caterpillar type, are proving very
efficient in logging, not only increasing the output, but in certain —
cases, materially reducing the cost as compared with teaming.

‘hose who were engaged in taking out timber in France during
the war learned to appreciate the value of light railways in a rough
country. The use of railways, both of standard and narrow gauge,
in logging has been very targely adopted during the last ten years,
under conditions not unlike those of eastern Canada, but, as yet,
only a few miles of logging railways are operated in this part of the —
Dominion. Railways have the advantage over river driving in that ~
they can be operated throughout the year, independent of weather ©
conditions, and all of the various kinds of wood, soft or hardwood -
logs or pulpwood, can be delivered at the manufacturing plants with-
out loss or delay or further handling. Experience goes to show that
within certain limitations the initial and operating costs are more ©
than compensated for by these advantages, ¥

trucks are rapidly replacing horses on the farm. There are numer-
Nous labor-saving and time-saving logging devices on the market and
"the reason they are not in more general use is evidently a lack of
knowledge of their application and:cost under our local conditions.
On the Pacific Coast a logging congress is held every year.
Mit is attended by large numbers of practical loggers, machinery men
"and others interested in forest exploitation. At these meetings the
"experiences of various operators from British Columbia to California
“are exchanged, and the latest inventions and methods of logging are
“not only described but are demonstrated in the woods. As a re-
Ysult, wonderful progress has been made im the last few years, and
the logging business has been practically revolutionized. Attention
Vis also given to the human element in logging, and a great improve-
“ment in the living conditions of the men in the camps has been ef-
ected through these meetings.

The Fassett Lumber Company, Limited, is situated at Fassett,
uebec, in the county of Labelle, on the north shore of the Ottawa
iver, about forty miles east of Ottawa and seventy miles west of
‘Montreal. The property is part of the old Papineau Seigniory, which
~ was given to Louis Joseph Papineau, after the Lower Canada
| Rebellion in 1837. The Owen Lumber Company of Montebello, Que-
bec, was the first to log this area, the ‘earliest logging dating back
~ about twenty-five years. The Haskell Lumber Company from Pen-
| nsylvania acquired the property from the Owen Lumber Company
_ from Pennsylvania in 1906 and a few years ago sold it tothe
present owners, the Fassett Lumber Company, Limited, who
_ have since then bought several small adjoining areas. The

head office is at Fassett, Que., on the Canadian Pacific Railway.

value of their experiences is lost for the want of a medium through
which to impart their knowledge of the results to others. At gather-
ings of this kind the manufacturers of logging machinery have not
only an opportunity to bring their products to the attention of the
industry, but they learn much from the practical woodsmen which
enables them to improve their machines.

We have annual gatherings of manufacturers of pulp and lum-
ber, but the men who are responsible for supplying the manufactur-
ers with the raw material and upon whom the future of our forests
depends, live and work in the isolation of their camps, and have little
opportunity of keeping in touch with the advances being made in
their own industry.

I make the suggestion of establishing an annual logging confer-
ence, feeling assured, after seeing what has been accomplished in
the west, that it will result in increased and more economical pro-
duction and in the improvement of the forest from the standpoint
of maintaining the supplies of our most useful and valuable eastern
species of timber. :

mpany Gets Out Its Timber

‘Logs Are Cut Under Contract and Material Delivered to Landings Alongside
Logging Railway—Busy Operations of Progressive Plant

By A. W. Bentley and F. A. Clarke

Streams are abundant along the valley bottoms, but the only river
deserving the name is the Salmon, which follows a winding course
southward through the tract, being fed by numerous small tributaries
on its way and empties into the Ottawa river at Montebello.

The rock, of which there are profuse outcroppings, is composed
of pre-Cambrian granites, which have in many instances become
metamorphosed into schists and deformed granitic sediments. he
sandy loam character in the swamps is characteristic of the low lying
part af the area. Taking the area as a whole, however, a mixture
of fine sand and gravel is the nature of the soil. The humus covering
of the soil is greater on the swamp areas than on the slopes or tops
of the ridges.

About twenty-five years ago this area was logged for white
pine, the logs being driven down
the Salmon River and the west
branch of the Salmon River. In
1900 and again in 1905, the
Salmon and west branch. were
driven, pine, spruce, and the hem-
lock being taken out. In 1906,
the construction of the Salmon
River and Northern Railway was
commenced and since that time
the area has been {ogged annually
for the remaining pine, spruce,
hemlock, balsam and hardwoods.
In addition the company, in the
same year, commenced the har-
vesting of the hemlock bark for
tanning purposes, and the Chemi-
cal Company the cutting of hare
woods for distillation.

The Fassett Lumber Co. had

five camps last winter on the area

130

from which they cut of 20 million board feet of logs, and 8,000 cords
of pulpwood. The Chemical Company cut about 11,000 cords of
chemical wood. The estimated life of the area for saw logs is from
three to four years, but as far as chemical wood is concerned, it is
problematical. It depends not on the supply of material for this pur-
pose, but upon transportation facilities, as the operations for extract-
ing material for chemical purposes do not keep pace with the logging,
being, at least, five or six years behind in this regard .

The lumber company find an excellent market for all grades ot
material and prices were never so high. The transportation facilities
from mill to market are good. The “North Branch” of the C, P. R.
between Ottawa and Montreal runs within a few hundred yards of
the mill and spur tracks have been built from the mill yard to the

railroad sidings at Fassett station. All yarding of cars to and from
the railroad is done by the lumber company’s own engines.

» In addition there is a spur track running from the mill yard to a
pier on the Ottawa River, a distance of half a mile. From May to
October, lumber is shipped from this pier by barge down the Ottawa
to Montreal. From there some shipments continue by barge direct
to New York city, taking a river and canal route to Lake Champlain
and Hudson River. The markets of the northeastern states in which
most of the hardwood is sold, are easty reached by rail and water
From the woods to the mill the logs are hauled by a standard gauge
railroad built for the purpose, and operated by the company itself:

Operate a Logging Railway.

The Fassett Lumber Company operate in addition to their mill
a railroad for hauling logs, pulpwood, and tanbark from the woods
to the mill. They do not, however, carry on the operations in the
woods themselves. Each year a contract is drawn up whereby a con-
tractor agrees to cut all logs, pulpwood and tanbark on the area that
is decided upon for that year, and to deliver this material to landings
alongside the logging railroad. From these landings the company’s
own men load the logs, etc., on to the cars and they are hauled to the
mill. The lumber company have a standing agreement with the
Standard Chemical Co., whereby the latter are allowed to cut any
remaining hardwoods they wish after the land has been logged over,
by paying stumpage for what they cut. The chemical wood is hauled
on the logging railroad to the chemical plant by the lumber company
at a determined price per cord.

The company’s principal products are hemlock, spruce, hardwood
and pine lumber, but they also handle minor products, viz.: pulp-
wood (spruce and balsam) lath, and hemlock bark for tanning pur-
poses. The original mill was brought from Pennsylvania in 1906. Jt
was burned down in 1913 and the present one erected, which has a
capacity of 100,000 feet per running day of 10 hours. The equipment
ctonsists of two band saws and “shot gun” carriages, automatic trim-
mers and slashers, and two heavy duty edgers. The slabs and ends
are sorted out; those that are suitable for making laths are put
through a lath machine, and the remainder fed to a “hog”. grinder.
The resulting ground, wood product.is used as fuel by. the company,
there being sufficient also to supply the Chemical Company, whence
it is transported by an overhead carrier. This consists of an endless
chain with scoops operating in the box-like trough. The burner has
not been used at the mill since 1913.

Cutting Up the Pulpwood.

Pulpwood logs are treated separately from saw logs. They are
brought up a separate incline from the hot pond and rolled onto tables
fitted with circular saws, which cut the logs into four foot lengths.
These cordwood size logs then pass on to three rossing machines of
the revolving knife type, which remove the bark. The pilpwood

sticks are then thrown into chutes which Jand them directly int
box cars below, ;

The power of the plant is supplied by a 650 h.p. Corliss engig :
of the stationary steam type. The mill and yard are illustrated wit
electric light generated by a 70 k.w. generator in the engine roor
and the surplus power is sold to the town of Fassett for lightir
purposes, ;

All lumber is graded as it leaves the sorting tables and is places
on small hand cars. These are run out into various parts of the yard
where the different grades and species are piled separately. T
tracks are elevated on a trestle structure, and the piling capacit Oo
the yard is about 14 million feet of lumber. —

A special feature of a lumbering operation of this nature, wh
the logs are hauled from the woods throughout the year by means
a railroad, is the hot pond. This pond is usually an artificial one ¢
is used as a temporary storing place for logs after they are unload
from the logging train at the mill terminus of the railroad. The po
at the Fassett Lumber Co.’s mill is an artificial one, being supplie
with water pumped from the Ottawa River. It has a depth of fou
feet and is about 100 yards long by 50 yards in width. As the mill 4
operated the whole year it is necessary to keep the pond from freez
ing during the winter. .This is accomplished by discharging
exhaust steam from the mill into the pond,

Unloading Logs Into Hot Pond.

To facilitate the expeditious unloading of logs from the cars i
the hot pond, an inclined rollway is constructed on one side of ne
pond and parallel to the railroad. This rollway consists of a fra
work composed of three parallel sets of stringers, spaced 8 feet apa
which extend along the entire edge of the pond. The outer stringe
projects over the water’s edge and rests on solid bottom, while the
other stringers are supported on uprights placed from four to six fee
apart. Heavy timbers shod with steel rails are placed on top of the
stringers to serve as a bed on which the logs from the cars are rolled
These timbers have a pitch of about 15 degrees from the track to th
pond. The cars of logs are brought alongside the rollway, the top
of the cars being six inches above and about six inches from the re
way. The railway track is built so that the cars slope towards the
rollway, thereby facilitating unloading the logs from tlie cars.

The plant of the Standard Chemical Company is situated along
side the mill. The buildings are of concrete and where wood is use
it is protected by corrugated iron covering. The cordwood, from which
the distillates are made, is brought down from the woods on the log-
ging railway, and piled in the yard adjacent to the plant. Sufficient
stock is kept on hand to operate the plant for a year’s time.

When ready for burning the cordwood is piled into cars with iron
frames, each car having a capacity of two cords. Three of these cars
at a time are run into a heated, air tight, retort oven, a fire underneath
driving off vapors from the wood which are condensed. The pyroli
gneous acid resulting from the condensation of the gases is separated
into wood alcohol, acetic acid, etc. Each car of wood remains in the

oven twenty-four hours, after which time the process is complete.
cars now containing charcoal are withdrawn to a covered shed where
the charcoal is allowed to cool gradually. ;

Fire Protection Appliances of Plant.

The fire protection appliances and arrangements at this plant are
noticeably good. An artificial pond, similar to the hot pond at th
mill, is built beside the plant, and kept from freezing by means of
the exhaust.steam from the engine room. A force pump is operated —
in the engine room to keep up high pressure in the water mains and
sprinkler system in the buildings. The hose, reels and hydrants are™
so situated that several streams can be directed onto any part of the

‘ 4 sail 4

CANADA LUMBERMAN

ank, which ensures.a sufficient pressure in case of a breakdown of
he force pump. It is obvious that the fire protection of the plant is
rranged with great foresight, which is extremely necessary, as the
anger from fire in a concern of this nature is great.
_ Since the Fassett Lumber Co. have been operating they have not
sad a serious fire on their forest property, and no signs of a blaze in
1e virgin is noticeable. Several small fires have occurred, but these
ave been easily put out by the woods force before they caused any
ppreciable damage. The causes of any fires that have occurred, are
tributed to sparks from the company’s locomotives, and to careless-
fess of men travelling or working in the forest. One serious fire was
rted by a locomotive, with the result that a large area east of the
4lmon River was burnt over, but this was not on the company’s
erty.
All the men working in the woods are instructed to extinguish
at once. Moreover, the property is well watered by numerous
eams and large springs, and, as the latter flow all the year round,
re is alwavs an abundant water supply for fire fighting purposes.
n additional preventative measure is the fact that the presence
the railroad makes it possible to bring large numbers of men
uipped for fire-fighting, to any part of the property within a short
ace of time. Undoubtedly private ownership of forest lands insures
more care being given to fire prevention. Rules forbidding trespassing
can be more rigidly enforced and employees can be better educated
that carelessness does not pay, than if the company were operating
on Crown lands. . - ;
= Conditions of Logging Contracts

It has been mentioned previously that the Fassett Lumber Co.
do not do their cutting in the woods. This is accomplished by means
of a yearly contract in the form of a specially typed document, by
which a contractor agrees to cut all material of specified species and
imensions on a given area, and to haul the same to certain points
the Salmon River and Northern Railway. The price paid the con-
ctor for this work depends upon the locality, species, amount of
" merchantable timber on the area, and the logging chance.

§. J. Staniforth, the general manager, along with the woods super-
ntendent and the contractor, go over the area to be logged and come
fo a mutual agreement as to the conditions of the contract. A yearly
agreement is considered necessary, as the company have to build new
track into each area and the cost of this and the logging chance of
the jobber vary considerably, according to the local conditions.
woods work is not placed on the market for open bidding, but is
rried out each year by the same contractor.
_ Payment to the contractor is made as follows: so much for logs
on skidways, so much for logs on landings and so much for logs being
scaled at the mill. Certain specifications made in the contract are
‘shown in the cutting regulations issued by the company to jobbers,
to whom contracts have been sub-let by the contractor. Provisions
6 made in the contract to ensure that care is taken by the woods

latter do their own loading of wood. There are no restrictions as to
the quantity to be cut on the area, but it must be on logged over land.

Character of the Forest.

The area is covered with a mixed hardwood-coniferous uneven
aged forest, but the larger percentage is overmature timber from 160-
200 years old. The forest varies from an almost pure coniferous type
in the river and stream bottoms to an almost pure hardwood type on
the tops of the ridges. On the slopes a varying mixture of both types

is found.
In the valleys along the stream bottoms, spruce, balsam, white

pine, tamarack are the predominating trees, while on the lower slopes,
hemlock, yellow birch, spruce, balsam, white pine, black ash and elm
make up the stand. Midway on the slopes are found hemlock and
yellow birch, along with some sugar maple, basswood, spruce, iron-
wood, white birch and beech. On the ridge tops maple, beech and
basswood predominate, with some hemlock and ironwood. Of all
species in the virgin forest hardwoods compose about 60% and coni-
fers 40%,

The maximum stand per acre would be about 18,000 ft. board
measure. Stands running to this figure are to be found in parts of
the valleys where a few large pine still remain and where the hemlock
shows its best growth. The average stand per acre, however, approxti-
mates 7,000-feet per acre.

Action to Recover Pulpwood Value

It is announced that Hon. W. E. Raney, Attorney-General for
Ontario, has taken steps to institute an action in the courts against
Walter H. Russell, lumberman, of Port Arthur, whose pulpwood
operations on Crown lands in Northern Ontario were the subject of a
special interim report by the Commission of Messrs. Justices Riddell
and Latchford, who are making an enquiry for the Government into
the administration of Crown lands.

The action against Russell will have-two phases, one dealing with
the recovery of the value of pulpwood—more than 79,000 cords in all—
which the commissioners held was wrongfully taken, and the other
seeking the cancellation of mining patents held by Russell. It will be
remembered that the Commissioners in their report pointed out that
Russell, through dummies, had taken out mining licenses and staked
locations for the express purpose of stripping them of their pulpwood;
also-that he had taken pulpwood from Crown lands for which he had
no license or permit at all. The value of the pulpwood taken, accord-
ing to Mr. Raney, amounts to a very large sum, and the Crown is
seeking to force Russeli to account for every cord of pulpwood wrong-
fully taken. It is also trying to regain possession of the mining
locations staked out. At the present time the Government holds from
10,000 to 15,000 cords of pulpwood that was seized on Crown property
after Russell’s men had cut it. ‘

“Work Starts on Fort William Plant

Lord Burnham, president Imperial Press Conference, turned the
first sod recently of Fort William Paper Company’s big mill, which by
February next year will be turning out pulp at Fort William, Ont.
According to J. G. Sutherland, president, paper-making machines will
be operating by January, 1922. Large extensions are planned until
the plant is the largest in Canada.
In an address given at the ceremony, J. G. Sutherland said there
were five reasons why the company decided to build the plant in Fort
William, power conditions, pulpwood situation, transportation facili-
ties, geographical situation as regards market, and good spirit and co-
operation of-all the Fort William people, the last reason being worth
any two of the other four. [

Lord Burnham, who spoke after turning the sod, said that the
mill would make history. He believed it would represent an expendi-
ture of millions, and he hoped the local plant would be able to supply
the newsprint deficit in the United Kingdom as well as in Austral: sia

Many moving picture men and photographers took pictures
the ceremony. .

The Schroeder Mills & Timber Co. have their Canadian head-
quarters at Pakesley, Ont., on the Canadian Pacific Railway. A spur
railway line, known as the Key Valley Railway, runs from Pakesley,
which is 206 miles north of Toronto, in an easterly direction up the
Valley of the Key River to a small lake, northwest of the Lost
Channel of Kawigamong Lake, then south-easterly to the shore of
the JLost Channel, where the mill is located. From here one must
Follow the Kawigamog Lake up to the foot of Watt River and in a
deep bay, on the north side of the lake, is the storehouse for Camp
No.2. A tote road runs along the left bank of a small stream which
enters the lake here, and leads one to the camp nestled in a small
hollow and well protected by low hills.

The interests of the firm are in the hands of a general manager,
James Ludgate, who handles the eight logging camps in this district
by a type of military control. Orders are issued by telephone to the
camp foreman, who is in complete charge of one camp and is directly
The foreman places a man in charge of
each gang of men that work as a unit, but this does not prevent him
from overseeing the work of each individual, and thus keeping a firm
control of all branches.

The area in the vicinity of Camp No. 2 has been logged for pine
saw timber for three consecutive winters. Both red pine (pinus resi-
nosa) and white pine (pinus strobus) are taken and the logs are cut
into 10, 12, 14, and 16 feet lengths. The average yearly cut for the
past three years has been approximafely three million board feet and,
it is estimated, that the camp will continue operations at the same
rate, or better, for the next three years.

Prior to the summer of 1919 the Schroeder Company did not own
the saw mill situated on the Lost Channel of Kawigamog Lake and
delivered their logs to Georgian Bay, by the spring drive through
the Kawigamog River, Pickeral River and French River, where they
had no difficulty in disposing of them to saw-milling companies.

In the spring of 1920 the logs of a number of the camps, including
No. 2, were delivered to the company’s mill on the Lost Channel and
the sawn product is being taken out by rail to Pakesley. .

There have been little or no labor difficulties on account of the
reasonable wage which the company pay and the excellent food which
is provided in the camps. Here, as in all other industries, the company
was seriously set back by lack of men during the war. Besides this,
there is the customary drifting of a certain class of men from camp
to camp all over the country. :

Virgin Pine in Fine Condition. —
The limit was leased from the Provincial Government in 1899 by

_ the Victoria Harbor Lumber Co., who held it until November of 1916,

when it was transferred to the Schroeder Co.

This is the first time that this area has been cut over, and as a
rule the virgin pine is in fine condition, the average log running about
50 board feet (Doyle rule), and approximately 50 to 65 feet of mer-
chantable timber
_ There has been no recent fire in the vicinity of Camp No. 2, but
other camps have suffered from time to time and, when once burnt
over, the soil being thin, there is little chance for reproduction. The
exception to this is on a large area about five miles from the camp,
where a fire went through some seven years ago, and pine reproduc-

sntion, in case of injury or sickness, creates a feeling of security in
h man as he goes to his daily work.
eee - Construction of the Roads.
There is only one tote road, 1/2 to 2 miles long, over which sup-
es are brought to the camp from the store-house on the shore of
wigamog Lake. This is of rough construction and requires prac-
ally no repair. Three short sections of corduroy and one large
bridge were necessary. The bridge spans a ravine in which a logging
dis situated and, in order to allow the loads of logs to pass, the
ntre section is removed when the hauling season commences.
The main haul roads, two in number, were constructed in the
ral drainage system of the land except in one place near the shore
re it was found necessary to deviate from the ravine in order to
a more gently slope onto the ice. The maximum haul is about
© miles with a continuous down-hill grade. The construction of
corduroy and small bridges was necessary in certain places, where
“the road-bed was swampy and would not freeze enough to support
a load of logs. By building small dams in other places enough water
_was held back to make long stretches of shallow lakes. No system
_ of trams or railroads are used on any part of the operation except for
the spur line mentioned before, between Pakesley and the saw mill.
. The distribution of men is variable under different circumstances,
the following is an average division before hauling commences.
e gangs of three men each are employed in the operation of felling
d bucking, with an extra men for filling saws. Each gang consists
yne notcher or undercutter and two sawyers. Three gangs of four-
n men each, with a foreman in charge, are employed in the oper-
n of swamping and skidding. Each gang consists of six swampers,
ee teamsters and five rollers. The road gang is in charge of a
_ foreman, known as the buck beaver, and consists of nine men, includ-
‘ing the foreman. Other labor around the camp not directly employed
on logging operations is known as “expense labor,” and includes one
blacksmith, one handy man, one barn boss, one chore, one cadging
_ man, one cook and three helpers, and finally the foreman and the clerk.
Totalling up by operations we find sixteen felling and bucking, forty-

_ The felling operations are carried on in the usual way, i.e.: The

direct the fall and prevent splitting of the trunk, The sawyers cut
from the opposite side and keep the saw parallel to the notch unless

‘These are knocked off by the chopper. The sawyers then cut up the
tree as marked, using wedges, when necessary, to prevent binding.
The length of the measuring stick must be checked daily, as the
chopper is liable to chip, off half an inch or so occasionally, and thus
the overrun on log lengths would not be sufficient. Under favorable
conditions each felling crew can make about 130 logs per day. This
is, however, influenced by weather conditions and topography.

There are three gangs composed of 14 men each, under one boss,
working continuously on this part of the operation. The six swampers
prepare rough skidding trails from the skidway into the bush in an
irregular fan system and then proceed to limb up the logs and prepare
them for the skidding teams. In the meantime the rollers are building
the skidway at the side of the haul road. A place with a slight slope
to the road is most suitable, but the cost of construction increases
with the steepness, therefore, very steep places should be avoided. Two
logs are used as extensions to the skids and are placed firmly on the
ground so that the teams can step over them and bring the logs on top.
Two teams are used for skidding and one for decking. In the skidding

_operations one team goes to the right of the skidway and brings in one

or two logs; then continues across the skids to the left, while the
second team goes first to the left and then to the right. By alternating
in this way they avoid the many turns at the skidway and save con-
siderable time each trip. Both tongs and choker chains are used. ~

A licensed provincial scaler and his assistant are employed by the
Schroeder Co. The equipment of the scaler consists of a scale stick,
marked off in inches with the corresponding scale opposite each inch
for the common log lengths. One end of the stick is provided with a
steel head which enables the scaler to place the stick quickly and
accurately on the end of the logs. The logs are tallied on a rectangular’
sheet of paper on which there is a column for diameter and separate
columns for eight, ten, twelve, fourteen, sixteen, and eighteen foot
logs respectively. The scaler keeps the tally of the logs and, with the
help of his assistant, determines the length of the log in question and
estimates the per cent. of cull, if any, to be deducted from the scale
of logs as read off the scale stick. For convenience in tallying, a large
pencil is used, at the one end of which is a piece of small lead, while
at the other end is a thick piece of blue crayon. As the logs are scaled
they are marked to prevent any possibility of recount.

Loading the Logs on Sleighs

Logging on the Schroeder limits is done solely for pine logs
which will yield lumber. However, since at present the logs are driven
down Lake Kawigamog where none of the difficulties of stream driv-
ing are to be met with, and since the logs are sawn 1

_company’s mill, the diameter limit is low and the utilization is close.
This very close, clear-cutting policy of lumbering the tract means only
one thing, viz., that there will never be a similar cut of pine taken off
this tract.

Every available team is used on hauling as soon as the work

begins, and sleds having a six-foot gauge are employed. They are
factory-made, except for the ten-foot bunks. Two logs are bound on,
one on each side, by “corner-bind” chains. Then the centre is filled
and the load built up half-way. Binding chains are then put in place
and the load completed. Finally a chain is placed around the whole
load. They usually carry from 50 to 60 logs per load which, with the
average run of 50 f.b.m. per log, would make 2,500 to 3,000 f.b.m. The
longest distance for hauling does not exceed two miles. Each team

loads its own logs by means of a jammer and cable which operates ~

similarly to the gin-pole.

The road-making and maintenance is an important item in this
branch of the work. The roads must be kept in excellent condition
throughout the season. After a heavy snowfall the plough is used,
with special attachments for cutting ruts. Then the water sprinkler

passes along spraying the rut, thus making an iced surface for the
runners. The majority of the road work was done at night, with the
aid of torches.

The business of the Shives
Lumber Company, Limited, had
its commencement when the Jate
Kilgour Shives in 1889 moved
to Campbellton from Dunsinane,
Kings County, N. B., where he
had operated a sawmill for some
years, and purchased from the late
A. E; Alexander the mill then op-
erated by him where the present
shingle mill of the Shives Lum-
ber Company, Ltd., stands. Mr.
Shives acquired large limits on
the Restigouche at the New
Brunswick Crown lands sale in
1893, and largely improved and
extended the Alexander mill,
which he continued to operate n-
til 1902, doing business in his
own name.

He became associated with
the American firm of Stetson,
Cutler & Co. in 1902, when the
Shives Lumber Company, Ltd.,
was ‘incorporated. Then the
company added to their holdings by acquiring from the Campbells,
of Toronto, the lands which the latter held on the Kedgwick, a
branch of the Restigouche River, under the name of the Muskoka
Lumber Company, Ltd. This gave the Shives Lumber Company, Lid.
altogether 1008 square miles, of which 673 miles are in New Bruns-
wick and 335 miles in Quebec. The company purchased the large
farm containing some 400 acres, situated on the Restigouche about
three miles above the town of Campbellton, known as Athol, and on
it built the long lumber mill which has been running in season ever
since.

The company purchased the mill equipment of the Morgan Lum-
ber Co., which was situated at Glens Falls-on the Hudson, and by
rail removed it in its entirety to Campbellton, and the mill at Athol
was set up exactly as it had stood at Glens Falls.

When it was first built the mill was made up of. two Wickes
gangs, twin circulars for cutting the stocks for them, a rotary with
steam feed, nigger, and loader, three circular resaws and four lath
machines, together with the necessary edgers, trimmers, etc. In
1913 the rotary was replaced by a double-cut band-saw, and one of
the Wickes gangs was taken out and a ten inch Kendall circular gang
was put in its place; the changes more particularly as regards the
Kendall gang being most satis-
factory. f

The mill.has sawn 349,000 ft.
in ten hours, and has turned onc
forty millions of long lumber and
twenty millions of laths in the
sawing season, but of late years,
on account of less efficient crew
and lack of logs through inability
to get woodsmen during the war,
the annual output has been about
thirty millions feet.

Convenient Location of Plant

The mill is situated on the
Restigouche on a large level flat
adjacent to the boom of the Res-
tigouche Log Driving & Boom -
Company, Ltd., so that the logs
as they are sorted and rafted can
he put in the mill booms with
little expense. The yard, which
is just off.the line of the Canad-
ian Government Railways, is one
of the best that can be found
anywhere and is equipped with

The situation is ideal for dr
ing stock, as it gets the full ben
fit of the westerly and north
terly winds which are so com-
mon on the Restigouche, sweep-
ing across the river. The eapac
ity is very large and there hz
often been in excess of sixty mil-
lion feet piled in the yard at one
time. While much of the lum-
ber exported by water is sent
alongside vessels at the Govern-
ment wharf by rail, the mill-
yard has also the advantage of
large loading docks on the river
front. 7

The mill is also supplied with
a large live run for putting the -
stock green from the saws down
to scows at the wharf front, so that the scows can be loaded with lum
ber in large numbers for delivery alongside the vessels in the port
Campbellton, where at the Government wharf they can load twenty-
two feet, or alongside the vessels at anchor at Point de la Garde,
nine miles below the town where steamers of deeper draft move to
complete the loading. ‘

The company have at Shives Athol, an extensive supply store,
large mill boarding house with accommodation for 200 men, togethe
with forty workmen’s houses, with stables; they also do considerable
farming in connection with the industry. Situated on the property
is a school which the company provide. It contains three departments,
all under the Department of Education of New Brunswick, and
there is also a joint Protestant church, a large Roman Catholic chap=
el and a moving picture theatre. Ss

Where Cedar Logs Are Handled

‘Lhe mill in Campbellton, which, on the construction of the long”
lumber pant at Shives Athol, was altered to the manufacture of
shingles entirely, was destroyed by the fire which completely wiped
out the town in 1910, and a new mill was built over the winter of
and was ready for

1910-11 operation in 1911. This plant contains
eighteen Dunbar shingle machir-
es, two Perkins shingle machines,
a two-saw railway tie machine,
with re-saw for sawing boards
from the tie slabs. Only cedar
logs are handled at this plant and
it is usual to pile sufficient logs
on the wharf about the mill for
sawing in the winter after the

river is frozen over. 4

In connection with the mill
are two spacious shingle storing
sheds capable of storing easily
twenty million shingles. The
company have a big supply store
in connection with this plant, t
gether with several large ware
houses, both on the mill premisi
and at their own siding on t
line of the Canadian Governmet
Railways two blocks away, wher
all their shingles and ties and
their logging supplies are loa
ed. The output of long lumber
has been largely sold heretofore
in the British Argentine and

Y

pe -

oe re en Ca ee a en

' Australian markets, but since the war, owing to a scarcity of ton-

nage, the car market in the United States and Canada has been taking
a large portion, which business for the past year has been largely
handicapped by scarcity of cars.

The output of shingles, which has amounted to ninety millions
in a year, is sold in Canada and United States markets where the
well-known brand of Kilgour Shives stands very high, and consider-
able of the output also goes to the British West Indies. The cedar

* ties are sold to the large Canadian and American railroads, while the
‘lath output is disposed of mostly. in the United

States.

On the death of the late H. H. Gunter in 1911 the Shives J-um-
ber Company purchased from his estate the controlling interest in
the William Richards Company, Limited, on the Restigouche, the
company name being then changed to Richards Manufacturing Com-
pany, Limited. In 1913 the Richards Manufacturing Company, Lim-
ited, took over the Continental Lumber Company, Limited, at Riv r
Charlo, N. B., from the Credit Foncier Canadian, of Woodstock, R. I.,
and at once assumed the management.

The same interests today thus control the Shives Lumber Com-
pany, Limited, the Richards Manufacturing Company, Limited, and
the Continental Lumber Company, Limited, with together about 1660
square miles of limits in New Brunswick and Quebec.

The present officers of the Shives Lumber Company, Ltd., are

F. B. Cutler, Boston, Mass., president; W. F. Napier, Campbellton,

N. B., secretary-treasurer; Geo. C. Cutler, Boston, Mass., and F. C.
Beatteay, Saint John, N. B., directors.

W. F. Napier is the manager of the company, the fogging sup-
erintendent being F. M. Anderson, while the mechanical superinten-
dent is John M. MacLean. Mr. Napier, who was the secy.-treas. of
the Richards Manufacturing Company, Limited, from its commence-
ment, became the president of the company on the death of Daniel
F. Richards in September, 1919. Mr. Napier is also secy.-treas. of the

How Long W 4 Canada’

World is Hungry for Timber and Its Products—Conservation of Resources is the Great Call 4
for the Future—Protecting Young Forest Growth is Most Urgent Matter - =
By Hon. T. D. Pattullo, Minister of Lands for British Columbia : -

How much merchantable timber have we?
This question is being asked today the world
over. While I write, an Imperial l’orestry
Conference in London, England, is trying to
find the answer, so far as the Britisn Em-
pire is concerned.

‘To the south of us, State Foresters and
timber experts are seeking to provide Con-
gress with an answer to the same question,
as well as answers to further questions aris-
ing out of the leading query.

There has been considerable controver-
sy in the various trade journals both as to
stands of timber and the best methods of
handling them economically. One expert
makes an estimate, and another immediately
produces widely different figures. That the
experts differ is not the important point—
that they are both making a genuine effort
to arrive at a fair estimate is the vital fact.

One of the good results of the war is
that a general stock-taking of natural resour-
ces is going on, and it has been found that.
this is particularly necessary in regard to
After four years of destruction, during which ordin-
ary work was at a standstill, the world is hungry for timber
and its products. How long will our visible suppy of raw
materials last? Frankly, we do not know. Fortunately, we
are trying to find out.

Reforestation.

It has been a habit for years past to think and speak of
our timber resources as being unlimited, with the result that
we have been mining timber ‘instead of cropping it, as is done
for instance, iu Sweden, where every available stick of timber
is utilized. The unlimited supply idea has depleted Wisconsin
forests; has left very little timber in Michigan, and is rapidly
depleting the stands in the Southern States. It is estimated
that the original stand of 650 billion feet in the Southern States
has been reduced to 139 billion feet.

There is no occasion for hysteria, but we, in British Colum-
bia, must look facts calmly in the face and lay our plans ac-
cordingly. We.must, after careful survey, decide on the best
methods of timber conservation.

Much is being said these days of reforestation and exten-
sive experiments ‘along this line are being made by some of the
large pulp and paper companies in Eastern Canada. Experts
are not agreed that the hope for the future lies entirely in re-
foresting. They seem inclined to the belief that it will prove
rather as an assistance to the forest to reproduce naturally. In
other words, that natural reproduction of the species native -o
each locality i is the goal to be aimed at, but that, where neces-
sary, nature should be helped out by artificial means.

In natural reproduction and rapid growth, the coast of
British Columbia is pectiliarly fortunate, thanks to her moist
climate and mild winter. It is estimated that we have 97,000
square miles of productive forest land and that on most of that
area young timber is growing after previous destruction of
the crop by fire and logging. While it is true that much of
this young forest is at some distance from present means of
operation, by the time it has reached maturity distances will
have been shortened, as they are being steadily shortened year
by year. The important point is that the timber is there, while
it is equally important that it should remain there,

The Enemy.

Timber’s greatest enemy is fire, or rather man, for man is
responsible or the great majority of our forest fires. This

point cannot be too strongly emphasized, or
repeated too often. While fires in mature
timber are the most spectacular, and there-
fore most noticed, it is the young growth,
on which the future depends, that suffers
most. Repeated burnings in areas no longer
able to reseed themeslves readily destroy —
reproduction for long periods of years, and ~
result in bush and scrub growth where good,
healthy young timber should be. The pro-
tection of this young growth from fire is
clearly the most important factor in reforest-
ation, and its care is not the duty of the ~
forest ranger only, but also the duty of every
citizen of British Columbia. The material _
welfare of many thousands of future citizens
of British Columbia, is assured if our young -§
forest growth remains intact from fire. :

Pulp Development | gare +

’ As well as being lumber hungry, the |
world is paper hungry, and wood pulp is -
the base of the bulk of the paper consumed “
by the reading public. Publishers are alarm-
ed regarding even the immediate future. Here, again stock- Am
taking has been going on and some of the large pulp and =
paper pants in the East on both sides of the line are looking
around for new sources of supply, while they are taking —
steps to conserve the pulpwood on their present areas ve

The search for new pulpwood areas is being extended to .
Laborador and Alaska, and, naturally, British Columbia is not
being overlooked. On this coast the pulp and paper industr
is already established on a firm basis and there is. every pros a
pect of rapid development just as soon as supplies of bee P98
paper making plant are available.

There are large pulpwood areas in Northern British ae A
bia and in the interior of the province still untouched. The
near future must bring about development in these districts. | Res. 2,

Pulp Development. ist ate

In pulp, as in merchantable timber, we are still at the te

“nugget” stage, as it were, but the day of closer utilization i 1s,
coming, just as it has in mining where the low grade ores, are’
being treated successfully. In the older countries, the pulp
plant is looked upon as being of the nature ofa scavenger 33 fay =
for the large saw mills, and it would appear that the day is — airs
coming when much of the woods and mill waste will find l its. *
way to the pulp digester. 3 tt ve

‘The greatest value accruing froth a discussion of our forest a
wealth and its future care and disposition is in the stirring ¢ :
public interest on the subject. A man may make the wildest
guess as to the future, yet he has succeeded in doing good if he ~
has stirred up a controversy which entails devoting hough
to our future welfare.

I feel satisfied that the- various branches ae the timber _
industry are thinking longer thoughts to-day in regard to tae re,
future of our forest resources than ever before, and I know ‘saree i Fg
the officials of the Forest Branch are doing so. Much of the g be
success for the future depends upon a continuance of the sy
mutually helpful co-operative spirit which exists between the | >a

~ ‘We have many fine woods in Canada, and it seems a pity to see
hem shipped out of the country by the carload, or if used locally, dis-
siised, and sold as an imitation of some other wood. Such woods as
birch, maple and ash do not need to be misrepresented, as they have
~ qualities which should enable them to command a good volume of bus-
© iness if disposed of, in the open market, solely upon their merits. An
| author of a recent article did not go into the subject as thoroughly as
"he might have. He dealt with native woods solely from the point of
* the manufacture of furniture. A considerable amount of hardwood lum-
ber is used annually for floors and trimmings in the numerous homes,
> banks and office buildings that are being erected on every side. The
hardwoods commonly used for this purpose are nearly all imported and
conisist of oak, chestnut, and a-certam amount of popiar.

Nor There does not seem to be any logical reason why these particular
” woods are in demand for interior work other than that they seem to be

: Many wood-

; * be of the opinion

4 ception of birch,
native woods are
not to be had in

ties to make it

ing in them. This

| were looking for

b these woods, he

| would be able to

secure a few carloads from time to time. Such stocks as maple,
‘birch, ash and elm are more abundant and a dependable supply is
| available to cover any anticipated demand. Birch is to be held in large

"quantities and is exported to the United States by the millions of

- feet. The statement has been”made that fully 75 per cent. of the

hardwoods cut in Canada are shipped out of the country. This is

partly due to the apathy displayed by Canadian manufacturers to-
ward native material.

Let us consider birch for a moment. The many qualities of

» this wood are too well known to need any commendation. It is
plentiful, may be had in any desired grade, seasons readily and takes
a fine finish when machined. "When finished properly it has a beau-
tiful grain and takes an excellent finish—it must when it can be
passed off as an imitation mahogany.

r If this wood were to come into general favor for interior work,
just think of the pleasing variety of effects that could be secured
through its use. First, we have the white birch. This, when
finished in natural shades, would make an ideal trim*both in color
and beauty and dignity of figure for the bedrooms, upper hall and

_ the lighter rooms of the house. For the more pretentious quarters

_*where the heavier furniture is installed, darker red birch trim could

_ be employed. The color of red birch, if finished in natural, is one
that works in and biends readily with the majority of color schémes.

Arousing More Interest in Canadian Woods

| Birch Has Many Ideal Qualities and Takes an Excellent Finish—Other Native
e. Woods can be Used with Splendid Advantage for Interior Work

By G. W. Brock

This is a feature that should: be considered in choosing the material
with which to trim a high-class house. Both red and white birch
have a beautiful grain, one that gives a variety of figure and a
pleasing contrast in a quiet, dignified way. It is neither bizarre nor
loud and its introduction into any home signifies good taste on the
part of the person responsible for the choice.

Another beautiful species of birch, though, perhaps not so plen-
tiful, is the culy grained variety. The accompanying illustration
shows the wavy figure of this wood. Curly-grained birch may not be
available in large quantities, but one can usually secure enough for
some select job where something unusually attractive’is desired or
for some choice line of cabinet work. One hears many laudatory
remarks concerning the beautiful trim and panel work and the at-
tractive effects secured in the Hotel Manhattan, New York. This
hotel is finished throughout in curly-grained birch.

Ash has a fine, pleasing grain, and takes a good finish. It is
used to a certain extent in interior work but should be more in
general favor than
it is. The Ameri-
can manufacturers
of interior trim
seem to realize the
value of Canadian
ash for house and
office interiors, as
many carloads of
Canadian white
ash are shipped
annually to cer-
tain United States
manufacturers. It
would seem to be
a case of where
“A prophet is
without honor in
his own country.”
If there is suffi-
cient ash available
for export, surely
there is enough to
make it worth
the Canadian
manufacturers
giving it their
consideration.

One wood that
appears to be
growing in popu-
lar demand for
house finish is British Columbia fir. -It is found installed in many
of our medium and better-class homes. The finish usually applied
is a natural oil or varnish, though beautiful effects may be secured
by using some warm brown stain and bringing out the high lights.
This wood may be had in practically three grains, viz., edge, flat
and curly grain and in any desired quantity. This latter grain gives
a very pleasing wavy effect.

When the interior is to be painted or enamelled there are many
woods that might be used. For high-class enamel work birch has
proved itself to be the superior of any other wood. Its fine, even
texture and absence of gum particularly adapt it for a smooth
permanent enamel finish. Basswood, pine and fir are also used for
enamel and paint work. With the more resinous woods difficulty
is often experienced in preventing the rosin and gum penetrating
through the paint or enamel. This can be overcome to a certain
extent by coating all knots and any gum spots with a good, heavy
shellac.

Finish up a few, good pieces of birch, ash, basswood and fit

-and the next time a customer asks for interior trim, show him these

finished samples and point out the beauties and desirable featu:
of the different woods. It may surprise you what a demand might
be worked up of material in native woods by a little cons:
thoughtful effort.

The Hardwood Situation in Canada and the
Problem of Future Supply q

By R. G. Lewis, Ottawa, Forestry Statistician, Canadian Forest Service

Canadian manufacturers, using wood as a raw material, are no
doubt well aware of the Simited supply in Canada of such woods as
hickory, oak, walnut and cherry and they probably have a very good
idea of the extent of the supply of the more common and more plenti-
ful hardwoods, such as birch, beech, and maple; but it might be of
interest to many manufacturers to outline the natural distribution in
Canada of the more important hardwoods, In the first place it might
be well to remind you of the fact that there are no woods of commer-
cial importance found in Canada and not found in the United States.
In most cases the supply in the Untied States.of those woods which
are common to both countries exceeds the supply in Canada.

On account of the rigors of the climate in the extreme northern
part of Canada tree growth of all kinds comes:to an end long before
we reach the shores of the Arctic Ocean. The extreme limit of tree
growth may be roughly indicated by a line drawn from the mouth of
the Mackenzie River, southeast to the mouth of the Churchill River
on the Hudson’s Bay and following the shores of the bay so as to in-
clide.the. greater part of the peninsula of Labrador. South of this
line the tree growth is represented by spruce, balsam, tamarack, pop-
lar and jackpine; at first stunted and distorted by the extreme climatic
conditions. Further south improving and developing into heavier
stands which ultimately form the vast pulpwood resources of the Do-
minion in the East, and the local supply of saw timber in the northern
parts of the Prairie Provinces. The only hardwood which might be
of interest to the wood turning industry in th’s type is the paper or
canoe birch. This tree is abundant throughout Canada but only reach-
es commercial sizes on the most favorable sites. The poplar species
are also present and may in time become commercially important al-
though they are at present looked on as tree weeds and are used only
for firewood, rough construction and for wood pulp.

As we approach and cross the height of land dividing the waters
of the St. Lawrence River from those of Hudson’s Bay, we lind a
different type of forest. The white and red pines, the hemlock and
cedar become important constituents of the forests, and the more
valuable hardwoods appear in turn as we proceed southward.

Commercial Hardwoods Confined to Southern Parts

It should be understood that the hardwoods of Canada are largely
confined to the southern parts of the provinces of Ontario and Que-
bes and to the Maritime Provinces south of the St. Lawrence River.
West of the province of Ontario the commercially important hard-
woods are almost entirely Jacking from the existing forests, North of
- the Prairie Provinces the only deciduous trees are the poplars and

birches. In the province of Bri- ;
tish Columbia, the forests are al- } :

so almost entirely coniferous.
There is a Pacific Coast oak, a
birch and a maple which are
sometimes sawn into lumber, but
they do not occur in commercial
quantities.

We may therefore confine our
attention to the Eastern Provinc-
es and commencing at the north
we find the black ash and white
elm the first important hardwocds
to appear. These two. trees are
not found in quantity north of
the Transcontinental Railway in
Northern Ontaric. In Quebec
the northern limit of the black ash
extends through the northern part
of the province until it reaches
the Gulf of St. Lawrence at An-
-ticosti Island. The white elm in
Quebec is not found north of the
height of land. Both trees are
found in the Maritime Provine-
BB.

_ Birch Most Important Hardwood

Canada’s most important hard-
wood at the present time, is

It is not found in quantity west of Lake Superior. From this lak
to the east its northern limit extends to Lake St. John in Quebee a
also reaches the Gulf of St. Lawrence on Ant’costi Island. a

While the maple “eaf is Canada’s national emblem, the maple
not our most important hardwood. There are three species of maf
of commercial importance in Canada, the hard or sugar maple and t
two soft maples commonly called the white or silver and the red. T
hard maple and the red maple are not found extensively north
Lake Superior in Ontario nor Lake St. John in Quebec. The white o
silver maple is still mere limited in its distribution, but is not so 1
portaut commercially as the cther two species. oa

There are a dozen or more oak species in Canada; the most im
portant of which is the red oak. This tree follows the same distribu-
t.on in general as the yellow birch and the hard and red maples. The
white maple, the beech, the white ash, the basswood and the white oak —
are not found north of Sault Ste. Marie in Ontario nor the city of Que
bec in Quebec Province. There are six hickory species in Canada, the
most widely distributed being the butternut hickory which is found
as far north as a line drawn from the neighborhood of Parry Sound

vince. The hickories are- unknown in the Maritime Provinces.

Butternut follows the same distribution in Ontario and Ouebec
but reappears in southern New Brunswick. Black walnut and s
more are confined to the western peninsula of Ontario, and a nar
strip of territory along the north shore of Lake Ontario, and are not.
found elsewhere in Canada. The tulip or yellow poplar, the sassa-
fras, and the chestnut are found only in the southern part of this \ ste
ern peninsula of Ontario, chiefly along the north shore of Lake Erie.)

Have Limited Distribution ee
From these remarks it will be seen that the distribution of hard-

woods in Canada is very limited. The extensive hardwood forest
which covers the central eastern states, extends northward, across the
border, into Canada, but as it extends it loses tree after tree as the cli-
mate becomes more and more severe until the black ash, the poplars,
and the paper birch, alone are left to weather the wintry blasts of th
sub-Arctic regions. hi <
It is not my intention to imply that hardwoods are extremely .
rare in Canada, but the fact. that their distribution by nature has been
so limited, undoubtedly indicates that the supply is far from being
inexhaustable. It is a fact, however, that in the case of many cies
the original supply has been commercially exhausted. In the days of —
early settlement, such hardwood

as white oak hickory, b see

-

walnut and cherry, grov as a
rule on land well situated for ag-
riculture, were cleared off by the —
settlers to make room for field
crops. Whenever marketable
they were used locally, in many
cases finding their way into the
basil snake fences and log
uildings of the pioneers. Quite —
frequently the logs i A burned _
in huge bonfires merely to rid»
land of a useless encumbrance.
The lumbermen have completed
the commercial extinction of
of these trees and at the pres
time the small remaining st
is confined to isolated patches of
trees or single specimens in f
mers’ woodlots. White a
white and rock elm, hard maple
basswood, and the less valuabl
oaks have been exported ii
considerable quantities to th
United Kingdom in the form of
square timber but this trade
has fallen off rapidly in
years.

centific forestry and the growing of forests for the future. We are

born in mind that we have in Canada many thousands of acres of
timber berths from which the conifers have been removed, leaving
the hardwoods as seed trees. This has resulted in a heavy seeding of
hardwoods, and the young forest now establishing itself is composed
of a majority of trees of these species. Depending on the extent to

which the limits were cleared, and the time which has elapsed since

the clearing, the young growth of hard woods has reached a certain
development. In many cases where forest fires have not destroyed
the reproduction, this second growth has already reached commercial
size, and new areas will grow into this condition each year if pro-
perly cared for. Therefore, it is not altogether a question of starting
over from the beginning to replace our hardwoods, but of applying
scientific principles to the care of the young forests already establish-
ed and above all, of protecting them from fire and careless utiliza-
tion.

Substitute Native for Imported Hardwoods

With the object of gathering information which would be of
value in solving the problem of the future supply of wood for our
industries, the Dominion Forestry Branch in 1911 began a systematic
investigation of the wood-using industries of the country and gath-
ered data on the kinds of wood used by different manufacturers, the
amount consumed in an average year, the sizes and grades demanded
for different purposes, the price paid for this raw material, and the
sources of supply. These studies covered the provinces of Ontario
and Quebec, three Maritime Provinces of New Brunswick, Nova
Scotia and Prince Edward Island, and the three Prairie Provinces of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. It was intended to repeat the
studies of each of these regions and to include British Columbia, re-
turning to each region once every five years. The war interfered with
the carrying out of this program, but it is planned to resume the in-
vestigation to date, that a great part of this importation could be
of the investigation up to 1915 when it was temporarily abandoned,
were very satisfactory. An idea was gained of the needs of the Can-
adian manufacturers in this respect, and a great deal of valuable in-
formation was published in reports covering each region treated.

The question of substitution of native woods. for those imported
from other countries was dealt with particularly in the case of hard-
woods, where the importations are especially heavy. While I do not
pretend to be enough of an expert in wood manufacture to advise
selection of raw material, I-am convinced, from the results of this in-
vestigation to date, that a great part of this importation could be
avoided by the use of home grown timber. Materials of a certain
quality from a-certain source are demanded by certain industries. ‘In
many cases, this demand is based, to a certain extent, on custom 01
usage and not altogether on the qualities of the material as related
to the use to which it is to be put. In many cases, a cheaper woo
from local sources would serve the purpose of a manufacturer equal-
ly as well as the imported material. As distant pastures are forever
green, so material brought from a long distance often acquires a repu-
tation out of proportion to its actual or intrinsic value. In he
early days, when lumber was cheaper and more abundant thin at
present, manufacturers were able to pick, for each part of their final
product, the wood best suited for that particular purpose. The fin-
ished article, like the “Deacon’s One Hoss Shay,” had no weakest
point and lasted in its entirety until it finally all fell apart at once.
The increased cost of lumber has forced modern manufacturers to
abandon this policy to a certain extent where the public has found
that cheap replacement is more economical than maximum quality at
a high initial cost. :

The question of utilization of waste was also dealt with in this
investigation. In some cases, it was found that a manufacturer was
burning, under his boilers as waste, small pieces of wood of the same
size and quality as another manufacturer was using in the same town

as a raw material for his product. Instances of this sort were, of ©

course, rare; but we were able in many other instances to put manu-
facturers into touch with one another to their mutual benefit. It
usually happens that the watse from one factory is of many different
sizes and shapes, and in such a case, it is almost impossible for such
material; but any manufacturer who has waste material of uniform
size and quality, no matter how small, should make an attempt to
locate a purchaser of such material before destroying it. The For-
estry Branch frequently receives inquiries from manufacturers with
waste to sell and others looking for small sized material, and it is
prepared to do al in its power to assist in this form of economy.

“The Forest Products Laboratories established at Montreal in
connection with McGill University has a staff of experts whose
services are available to the public for the purpose of solving tech-
nical problems in connection with the anatomy, chemistry, mechani-
cal properties, decay, preservation and utilization of forest products
generally. Information obtained by research or collected in the l'b-
rary is at the disposal of the public at any time. Our head office
staff is also ready and willing at any time to answer other enquiries
from lumbermen and wood-users.

Mr. Retailer! How Do You Receive Salesmer
Great Majority of Lumber Dealers Are People Worth Meeting
Whose Qualities of Honor, Courtesy and Ethics Are Below Par :

By A. O. Fisher, Barrie, Ont.

ITH a view to giving
the retailer a little bet-
ter insight into the life

of the men calling on
them in the various cities, towns
and villages on the salesman’s
territory, I am penning a few
stray thoughts. Frequently the
. traveller on his calls has very
little time at his disposal to talk
anything but business. After
reading this the retailer may
change the opinion that he has
formed and come to the conclu-
sion that the salesman as well as
the retailers have their share of
troubles,

Numerous retailers of lumber

have an idea that the salesman’s
main business is jumping from
place to place and living on the
best in the land. If they tried it
out and stayed in some of the ho-
tels in the smaller towns and
found a comfortable bed, with damp sheets awaiting them, minus
blankets, on a cold winter night; if they had to arise at 4.00 or 4.30
a.m. to catch a train; if they had to eat the wonderful and fearful
things provided by a chink cook, at least, eight or ten times per week,
Mr. Retailer would sigh for home and the good cooking that his wife
provides. The traveller is too busy to go over his troubles when
calling on his customers. He is out for business and no matter what
his troubles are, he keeps them to himself,
-, In view of the time it takes and the expense of travelling, as
well as the many discomforts encountered in these days of standard
hotels, it certainly takes the heart out of the salesman, if, when he
makes a call on a prospective customer, he is informed that the
customer is too busy to see anyone to-day. There are not many yard-
men of such a type, but there are some. The greater number of the
retail dealers are people worth meeting,—good, sociable men, on whom
it is a pleasure to call, even if an order is not landed each time a visit
is paid.

A. O. Fisher, Barrie, Ont.

Men Whose Whole Thought is Price.

There are as many grades of retailers as there are of pine.
The dealer who will question a salesman on prices of the different
grades that he has listed, and when the information is obtained, will
then inform the representative that he has bought a block of local
stock at a much lower figure than he( the traveller) quoted, and that
there is nothing on his list that appeals to him,—well, such a man is
in the same class as the one that is too busy to see the salesman. __

Then there is the bargain hunter. . There are men (not many)
in the business whose whole thought is price. If an article is cheap,
that is sufficient, at least, until the commodity arrives, forgetting that
a good article is worth the market figure and that if it is listed below
that, there is a reason. The goods are of low value.

There is the good, honest, square customer, and he is in the
majority. He is satisfied with what he gets if he obtains what he
buys. He is not, in the class with the one who buys mill run white
pine and expects to receive common and dressing.

Then there is the dealer who does not play a square game with
the wholesaler and will not hesitate to cancel an order ona declining
market. He will surely hold the wholesaler to a bargain on a rising
market, even if for some unforeseen circumstance the mills fall down
in supplying the stock to the wholesale firm. ;

Regarding the salesman, he is expected and should havea pleasant
manner, no matter what tribulation he suffers. If he has a disagree-
able experience in one lumber office, he must forget it before he calls
at the next office on his route. He should have sufficient knowledge
of the commodity he is selling that he can give an intelligent descrip-
tion of the various grades on his list.

He is the medium between the wholesaler and the retailer, and
in making adjustments should be fair both to the customer and fair
to his employer. ‘The salesman, who would make too liberal an

There are various methods employed by salesmen to obtain

the competitor that they seek to eliminate, 7. a SARA 3

trips which may benefit the dealer in his business to a very gre
degree. Ages if

Tow Timber Testing in Canada is Conducted

T. he Empire’s Greatest Wood Producing Dominion Should Lead in Development of

Economical and Efficient Use of Her Vast Forest Resources

Fy rea enna pr seem mat

) Early in 1914 began the realiz-
Vation of a dream of some public-
‘pirited men, men of foresight and
fision, when the Forest Products
‘Laboratories of Canada came into
Texistence. It had not been an
4 task to inaugurate these
“Laboratories. Their necessity was
“not appreciated, and it was only
“at the expense of untiring effort
‘and devotion to the best interests
‘of Canada’s great forest resources
“that, after many disappointments,
“these men were able to sce the
young institution ‘undertake its
‘important work.
' The Laboratories were organ-
ized under the Forestry Branch *
of the Department of the Interior,
to work in co-operation with Mc- .
Gill University. In their present
form:they comprise four depart-
ments, or divisions.
_ The Division of Pulp and Paper
deals with problems relating to
‘pulpwood, pulp manufacture, and paper manufacture.
ae The Division of Timber Physics deals with the anatomy, struc-
"ture and physical properties of woods, an expert knowledge of which
is the key to a host of problems encountered in their industrial
utilization. The Pathological Branch of this Division makes a special
“study of decay in buildings, etc., and of the best methods of com-
batting conditions conducive to decay.
a The Division of Timber Tests conducts research into the
strengths of the various species, the particular uses to which differ-
» ent varieties of timber are especially adapted, and problems relating
to allowable stresses, grading rules and specifications.
The Division of Wood Preservation carries on a study of preserva-
_ tives, methods of preservative treatment of lumber, and problems in
fire-proofing timber.
It is the writer’s present intention to discuss briefly the work of
“the Division of Timber Tests, and the reader is asked to bear in mind
that this is the work of only one part of the institution, and that
equally important and valuable work is at the same time being carried
on by the other three Divisions of the Forest Products Laboratories
of Canada.

The Division of Timber Tests began in 1914, a comprehensive
study of the strength of all Can-
adian-grown timbers, carrying on
its research in the Testing Labor-
atory of McGill University. Here
were available the regular testing
equipment of the University, and
in addition, two new machines
installed by the Forest Products
Laboratories. Representative
trees from various stands in Can-
-ada are selected and shipped to
the Laboratories. There they are
sawed up under observation in
the Laboratories’ own saw-mill,
and suitable small, clear test
pieces prepared in the Labora-
tories’ own up-to-date wood-
working shop. Tests are made of
all the various strength functions
of importance in the commercial
u tilization of the wood,—in bend-
ing, static and impact; in com:
pression, both parallel to, and at
right angles to the grain; in
hardness, shear, cleavage and ten-

Testing small specimens in static bending
Thousands of such tests have been made on twelve Canadian species

sion. These tests are made on
small clear specimens ini order to
eliminate the uncertain effects of
knot, shakes, and other defects,
In this way a reliable comparison
of various species is obtained,
and data secured as to the effects
of locality where grown, position
of the wood in the tree, effects of
seasoning, etc. These results,
combined with the results of
other tests made on structural
sizes in commercial grades furnish
the most reliable guide as to what
may be expected of the timber in
use, and what provisions should
be contained in grading rules.

Douglas fir was the first spe-
cies tested, and the results of this
investigation have .been made
available to the public in pamph-
let form—‘“Bulletin No. 60, of the
Forestry Branch of the Depart-
ment of the Interior—Canadian
Douglas Fir, Its Mechanical and
Physical Properties.” The information contained in this Bulletin should,
in the writer’s estimation, always be supplemented by that found in
“Bulletin No. 59, of the Forestry Branch of the Department of the
Interior—Canadian Woods for Structural Timbers,” also prepared by
these Laboratories. These publications should be found among the
books of every dealer who handles Douglas fir.

Establishment of Branch in Vancouver.

During the war, when the demand for Sitka spruce, used in the
construction of aeroplanes was great, and it was necessary to test
quantities of this timber as rapidly as possible for war purposes, a
branch of these laboratories was started in Vancouver, B.C., under
the Imperial Ministry of Munitions, for this purpose. To avoid delay
on this war work the machines from the Montreal laboratory were
shipped at once to Vancouver, and later replaced by new machines.
Since the close of the war the Vancouver Laboratory has been
maintained as a branch of the Forest Products Laboratories of Canada
under the Forestry Branch of the Department of the Interior and is
working in co-operation with the University of British Columbia.
The parent laboratory in Montreal and its branch in Vancouver have
already between them tested ten species of Canadian timbers. They
are now working on jack pine and western hemlock, and it is the
intention, ultimately, to supply re-
liable information on all Cana-
dian species.

But this is only. one phase
of the work of timber testing in
Canada. This is the routine work
and is so arranged that portions
of the staff may, as Occasion re-
quires, be withdrawn from it and
enabled to engage on special re-
search work in order to obtain
light on particular problems rais-
ed by the industries. A good
example of this is the work done
by this Division in testing mine
timbers. To make comparisons
of the species used, to examine
the properties of possible substi-
tutes, to determine the effects
of different methods of season-

The Use and Scope of Laboratories.

Examples of this kind of work at the Laboratories could be mul-
tiplied, but it is only necessary, at the present time, to indicate a few
of the ways in which they have been and can be useful to the timber
using industries of Canada. Sometimes an inquiry may be answered
at once from the results of tests already made, but if not,
the laboratories are always ready to make new tests and establish
new reliable information. Already they have dealt with such ques-
tions as: Are certain grading rules satisfactory for Douglas. fir?
Can red and black spruce be used in certain building construction
where formerly hard pine was used, and if so, what rules should
govern their use? What woods are suitable as substitutes for oak and
black walnut in the construction of telephone sets. Can Sitka spruce
be used for tanks? What may be used instead of southern pine for
implement poles? Is any other wood, so far as is now known, suit-
able for gun stocks instead of black walnut? So hundreds of examples
might be quoted.

ment. For ten years their exact counterpart has existed in the United

States, and yearly grown in importance and value to American indus-
tries. India has its Forest Research Institute which is this year being
greatly enlarged. Australia and England are undertaking the same
kind of work. Canada, the Empire’s greatest timber producing
Dominion, should lead in the development of the economical and
efficient use of her vast forest resources. Nothing can help so much
in gaining and holding this lead as efficient laboratories. ,

In conclusion, on the eve of my departure from them to continue
the same work in India, permit me to make a plea for these labora-
tories. They are not widely enough known to the wood-using indus-
tries. They have been established with a great deal of effort, and at
a considerable expense. They are meant to serve all the wood-using
industries. Hundreds of problems arise that the dealer and the
manufacturer have not the time nor the facilities to solve. For just
these problems the laboratories are maintained. Unfortunately the
man with the problem often does not even know of the existence of
the laboratories. He must work without the information, and, in so
' doing may incur serious loss which might have been avoided. I have

it has been said the problem of the twentietn

y is to make education an engine of social

ment. Our systems of education help the

terary class to an unfair extent. There is an un-

discrimination against those who work with

hands. The most distasteful part of many

ids of manual work arises not from the work

f, but from the treatment accorded those who

thus engaged.

There is almost unlimited wealth in our for-

and mines. Nature has endowed our land,

without stint. The material resources which

ossess are being developed with much industry

enterprise. Huge sums are being expended.

-we are doing little if anything for the develop-

ent of that greater resource, the humanities, the’

“Thirty years ago you might as well have looked for a needle in a
stack as for a foreigner in our frontier camps. You found there
he sons of the Canadian homestead and the farm, as well as the,
English, Scottish and Irish immigrant. But our neglect of the fron-
sman has driven the English-speaking men back from the first
e to a seemingly more favored position. They have retreated to
the older settlements, and more opportunities for giving schooling to
family. European races, men with an alien tongue, have taken their
‘place in all construction camps, and to some extent in lumber and
mining camps. Similar changes are taking place in the settlements
of the clay belts of the north, and on the homesteads of the prairies.
_ For many years it was commonly asserted, by interested ones at

jer workers are inferior to other citizens it is due largely to the
ons in which they are asked to toil. Manual labor without
cation is brutality. Have we as a people deserted the frontiers-
man? Shall we not as fair-minded, justice-loving Canadians ‘try to
for this neglect? That the men engaged in these industries,

the physical and moral health of the men -

of an early time, which encouraged the development
of the mind, and despised the body.

The object of life and the path of the highest
eood is service—to give rather than to get, to serve
rather than be served. To attain that kingdom is
to be honored, to rule, to reign. To share in it we
are all called, clergy or laymen, employer or fron-
tier worker. ‘Those who labor themselves or use the «
labor of others for making money. alone, miss life’s
mark. Men, not money, is the true object of life.

Too long have the universities emphasized the
courses leading only to a profession: at one time it
was the church, now medicine seems to monopolize
the efforts of the schools. The time is now, that the
universities pay back to the people in other activi-
ties a debt long due. Let subjects of practical
utility be given larger recognition. Any frontier
work, no matter where located, should be an out-
post of the university. The settlement should be
a homestead college; the walls of any university
should be the confines of the frontier itself.

Education Must Be Taken to Camps.
The college must be taken to the camps and
works. It is a fit task fo this young dominion to devise ways and
means of getting it there. All that is required to transform our
camps and factories into universities is to add cultural professionai
and vocational instruction to their curriculum which is already tech-
nical. Technical training they get at their own and their employers’
expense in their several occupations; vocational training they get to
a limited extent by shifting from one occupation to another at their
own expense. They should, at least, have as much spent per capita
by the governments on their vocational and professional and cultural
training, as is now spent per capita on the technical, vocational, cul-
tural and professional training of the regularly trained college man.

What we plead for is the diffusion of education, not the education
of a privileged class alone. There is not too much spent on education
in the cities, towns and other older settlements, but too little on the
edtication of these denizens of forest and mine. What is needed is a
system of education that will enable the laboring man to keep in touch
with the outside world, and acquire an education while earning his
daily bread.

More than ever in this century will education be approved in so
far as it promotes the welfare of all. What greater problem confronts
the whole Dominion than that of settlement: Not just spasmodic
efforts by a few, but the proved, efficient scientific peopling of our own
waste places, giving comforts and advantages to those who thus
locate. Do our schools and universities at present assist construc-
tively in this plan? Do they answer the cry, “Come North and Help
Us.”

It is not practicable to bring the great army of working men and
women to the higher schools and college buildings. In fact. the great
work of the world must be carried on, far from these so-called higher
seats of learning. Instead of encouraging young men and women to
leave their work to obtain an education as is now the fashion, let us
bring the college-trained men in greater numbers to the frontier
works, the camps, the factories and the settlements, and thus we
will have closer the two extremes.

The Work of the Frontier College.

A close contact with the camps and frontier places of Canada
for many years has convinced me that much more can be done to bring
education to men of the camps. Given the proper incentive in the
presence of good instructors and, even those whose hours of labor are
longest, will accomplish much. Let the objeect of our life be “No
day without a little.” The instructor, going out from the universities
of Canada will yet play a bigger part in the moulding for good of social
changes. With this in view the Frontier College for twenty years
has sent among mines, camps and extra gangs, on the frontier plac
of Canada, university graduates and undergraduates who have
as navvies and as other workmen among all classes of unskil

laborers. During the last year 60 college men have been so engaged
for a season each at a stretch. They win out by contact and person-
ality—working at manual work during the day, and teaching at oppor-
tunity, where classes may be gathered—but at all times they stand
for the best ideals embodied in Canadian life. A foreigner often
meets in these camps his first healthy-minded Canadian in the person
of the instructor who, to the amazement of the foreigner, is a laborer
with him on the same tamping or skidding outfit.

It is true that success or failure of such work depends always
upon the instructor; given a young man practical enough to jump in
and work, who, while college bred is a mixer, even in uncongenial
surroundings, and who has strength of character to stand for staunch
and sane Canadianism at the outposts or our social life, and the work
will succeed.

Some Obstacles in the Way
The following are perhaps the chief difficulties in the way:

Ist. The hours of labor are too long for successful
study.

2nd. The crowded bunkhouses are unsuitable for the
best results.

3rd. It is next to’ impossible, especially in the winter

season, to secure enough instructors for the task of bringing

education to the man. The universities insist on too much

class attendance.

But time, the great avenger, is gradually righting these wrongs.
The fierce light that beats upon a throne is beginning to shine on
these and other kindred problems. The old fallacy that education
acquired by the help of teachers within four brick walls was good,
and that any knowledge obtained outside these walls could not be
dignified by the term scholarship, is being exploded. By curtailing
the attendance required for a degree, the universities can, if they will,
supply a sufficient number of instructors at subsidiary colleges. A
great army of students and professors ‘will in this way be released
for work at branch colleges. At least,two years of the Arts course
and a year or two for the Master’s degree could reasonably be spent
in absentia, the subjects of physics, geology, zoology, chemistry, bot-

way into the market.

By Loren L. Brown, Toronto, British Columbia Lumber Commissioner for Eastern. Canada

Douglas fir is found in Canada only in the provinces of British

Columbia and Afberta, the amount found in the latter being very .

small by comparison.

“It reaches its best development in.the region directly tributary
to salt water between the mouth of the Columbia river and Sey-
mour Narrows. With the exception of the giant sequoias and red-
woods of Casifornia it is the largest tree on the Pacific Coast. It
ordinarily attains a height of 175 to 200 feet and a diameter of 3 to 6
feet. Not ‘infrequently trees up to 250 feet in length and from 6 to
9 feet in diameter are seen. Owing to its intolerance ‘of shade, the
lower branches soon die and drop off, leaving one
half to two-thirds of the bole clear and a large per-
centage of the wood free from knots.

Stands in the Virgin Forest

“Tn the virgin forests on the Coast, where fir
predominates, the stands usually run from 20,000 b.
f. to 50,000 b.f. per acre, though frequently, on the
better sites, the yield exceeds 100,000 b.f. per acre;
one ‘instance being recorded where 5,000,000 b.f. was
cut from ten acres. Single mature trees ordinarily
contain from 2,000 to 5,000 b-f., but, sometimes,
exceed 10,000 b.f. In the mountains, the fir stands
usually run from 5,000 to 15,000 b.f. per acre, though
in some of the more moist valleys stands are found
almost equal to those on the coast. In the interior
dry ba't the individual fir trees usually contain
from 500 to 2,000 b.f.”

(Forests of British Columbia,” H. N. Whit-
ford and R. D. Craig). ;

There is estimated to be 76,000,000 M board
feet.of Douglas fir in British Columbia. In 1919
the total cut of this species for the province was
841,605 M. board feet.

of the ships on the Pacific Coast; one for example, the “Lady Mine”
built entirély of Douglas fir in 1879 at Port Ludlow and still in ser-

watered siik, which .
is caused by the different colors of the “spring-wood” and “summer-
wood” which make up each annual ring or year’s growth.

It has been proved that the strength of wood varies with its
density of dry weight per unit of volume which in each tree varies
“with its position in the tree as to cross-section and height in the
tree. A stick cut from near the centre of a tree is weaker than a
stick cut from near the outside. Also, a piece cut from near the top
of the tree is weaker than that cut from near the butt, therefore, the
strongest timbers come from the outside -of butt logs. ‘Low grade
Structural timbers, such as railroad ties, often come from near the
centre of the log and high grade structural material, such as car sills

and aeroplane wing beams, come from near the outside of the log.
This latter material is generally clear because of the fact that ordin-
atily branches grow from the centre or pith of a tree out and, as the
tree increases in height and the lower branches become shaded, they
die off, the later wood forming over them being clear and of a high
grade.

As stated, the strength of a Douglas fir stick is closely related
to its density or dry weight per. cubic foot. Of two sticks of equal
dryness or degree of moisture content the heavier will be the strong-
er, provided they are of the same grade as regards defects, knots,
shakes; diagonal grain, etc. This density may be estimated by a
visual examination of the amount of the summer-wood in the annual

or growth rings.

Western Outlook in Lumber Line is Promising
Continued Expansion of Export Trade—Stabilizing Conditions and Abundant Wheat Crop a

Will Contribute to Revival of Business and Increased Demand
By George S. Perry, Vancouver

felt in the lumber industry in the Pacific Porvince for the
past month. Possibly some of those interested in the
trade think that things are altogether too steady and
slow tor good business. On the other hand, while it is admitted
that business is not rushing, there is a regular flow of orders

GS leinne influences have been making themselves

and rail shipments are going forward at a fairly satisfactory

rate. Of course, the export mills, or those which are handling
export trade along with rail and domestic business, have had
a constant demand upon certain portions of their output. In
fact, the export lumber trade has shown its steadying influence
all season. Developed to more than ordinary proportions and
showing strong inidcations of continued expansion, the export
there has been attracting more attention this year than ever
before in-the history of lumbering in British Columbia.

While the volume of trade being handled at the present
time is not sufficient to compel the mills—on the coast at least
—to run night shifts, there is no great surplus of stock. Vari-
ous causes have prevented the piling up of any big yards
of lumber. If the Canadian Northwest trade were to open up
at all briskly, as it very well may do when crop returns begin
to make themselves felt, the present stocks of cut lumber would
not be sufticient, and there would be some scurrying to fill
orders. The situation is that shippers are keeping in mighty
close touch with their sales organizations on the prairies and
before giving firm acceptances for any considerable lots, or for
particular specfications, salesmen in most instances have strict
instructions to get in touch with the head office to find out if
the goods can be secured for prompt despatch.

Brisk Fall Business in Lumber.

Regarding the general situation in the Canadian North-
west, all reports are agreed—the outlook is excellent for a
rather brisk fal! business in lumber. But there is unison in
the reports also that the retail lumbermen have their own bur-
dens. They have\ been carrying a heavy load and they are
determined to liquidate this fall, as far as possible. ‘That
explains in large measure the very tight buying they have
been doing. It is agreed that the yards have scarcely kept a
sorted up stock all season, doing business on as limited, a
quantity as it is possible to get on with. They cannot be
blamed. There is no money in sight until the wheat crop is
flowing into the elevators and the cash is coming into the
hands of the farmers to be-in turn handed on to the retail
lumbermen. And they are not the only pebbles on the. beach
by any means.

It is scarcely a question of credits as between the lumber
producers and the retail trade, that has held up ordering. There
is not a reputable retail concern on the prairies but can have
all the lumber they wish. They have simply held tight while
the 1920 crop was shaping itself up. Not even the most opti-
mistic government crop reports have made them budge. These
men know the crops in their own districts like no government
report can tell them. They know the men who are growing
them and they know which of those men will want lumber.
But till the crop is threshed and on its. way to the elevator,
what they don’t know,—and neither does any one else,—is
who is going to be able to pay for lumber. Right now every
retail lumberman, in the three prairie provinces could give a
fairly good estimate, based on personal knowledge of the in-
dividual requirements of his district, of what lumber he will
probably require this fall. But he will not book his orders on
that knowledge. He prefers to take his chances of delivery
when assurance is in sight..

Western Car Situation Fairly Good.

When orders are going forward at a satisfactory rate, as
has just been stated to be the case, it presupposes that there
is transportation in sight to take care of the business. That is

i

the situation at the present moment. It is the experience of
the trade generally that from two to four days is the averag e
length of time in which a car number can be wired on orders _
received from the Western Provinces. That is very good
despatch. For just how long it will keep up depends on tw ~
or three other factors. If the lumber trade should brisk 1 x
much and the number of cars to be shipped increase tos: vi
double of present shipments, the rate of delivery -aeauil

haps slow down. Then, as every one is aware, the rail
are at the present moment engaged in concentrating
rolling stock fit to carry wheat, at convenient central
on the prairies. Any lumber order requiring a box
to or near those concentration points naturally has pri

But when the grain is rolling by trainloads to the big ter- _
minal elevators at the head of the Great Lakes, and every car
that will hold wheat is pressed into the service, it will be an- —
other question. Then the railway equipment and servi

early dawn till the dew stops the canvas carriers on the self-

enough light to handle the machine. As the hundreds of great
wagon loads of new wheat roll in to the elevators the grain
_ men are promptly on the job to take it in early or late. Every
* business man in every town and hamlet in the three great
_ provinces of the Canadian West is vitally interested in the
“successful garnering of the golden shower. Jt is only com-.
parable to the days of the spring clean-up in a great placer
gold camp. No gold camp from Cariboo of early days to Klon-
dike of twenty years ago, ever made a tithe the returns in one
- season that the’ wheatfields of Canada’s golden west yield.
Little wonder that the financial and transportation systems
of the whole Dominion are for the time entirely devoted to
the wheat harvest. eet:

* All of which may not be a story of lumber and lumber con-
ditions in British Columbia. It has much to do with it, how-
ever... On the success of that great wheat harvesting oper-
ation now going on in the prairie provinces depends the bulk
of the rail trade the lumbermen of the Pacific Provinces are

f dependent upon it. If trade is good on the prairies, then it
f __ will be better with eastern Canada than it otherwise would be.
be - So the lumbermen are twice interested in the wheat harvest.

| = ~——s« Rail Transportation to U. S. Market.

There is only one section of the rail trade which is not
affected by the wheat harvest of the Canadian Northwest.

Just at the moment the supply of cars for the coming season is
f thé controlling factor to a great degree. Pacific Coast mills on
} the U-S. side of the border are finding the car shortage a most
serious handicap. For the present, with the light ordering
which still obtains, the British Columbia mills have been able
to give fairly prompt deliveries. A week, possibly eight days,
-_ jn some instances has been the outside time that it takes to
get a car away. Occasionally a car number can be given in
three days.. The Canadian railways are at this season firmer
than ever in not letting their own rolling stock out of the
country. On the other hand every foreign car is available and
until demand increases materially these will likely suffice
‘for reasonably good despatch. .
One authority gives it as his estimate that the shortage of
freight cars for U. S. railways is not less than 300,000 to meet
normal needs of transportation, and until a substantial portion
of this shoriage is made good no real relief from the present
car situation in the U. S. can be expected, he says. “For the
indefinite future,” he adds, “therefore, transportation must be
: reckoned as a severe handicap on all lines of business. Ship-
tt pers will have to take into account delay in transportation for,
: at least, the remainder of the year.” On the Pacific Coast, one
r American newspaper account states that the U. S. railways
i had despatched 1,400 cars in an effort to relieve the congestion
A ’ in the lumber traffic. But, said the article in question, under
|} —s ordinary normal conditions of the lumber industry -of the
|}. Pacific Coast, British Columbia, Washington and Oregon re-
_ quire something like 17,000 cars per week. The Washington
ag and Oregon mills are suffering severely from the shortage and

x them will have to face a shut-down, as it will not be until after
harvest, say two or three months hence, that any relie= can be
expected.

The Situation Across the Border.

_ markets of the middle west and eastern states are very pro-
~ mising. With a crop report as reassuring on the whole as
that of the Canadian West, the United States lumber trade.is
anticipating something like a rush of orders late in the season.
_ Itis also reported that buying by retailers has been from hand
to mouth all summer. Reserve stocks have not been ordered
forward and that will clean up the stocks in the retail yards
as soon as business picks up. The announcement of the ad-

Ordersnyis Ke!

_ Foreshadowed freight schedule increases on all Canadian
_ railways have so far not had any direct stimulating influence
‘on’ orders from points east or west. It 1s just possible that

ain the meantime, the prospects of demand from the lumber.

- vance in freight rates may have a stimulating effect on placing |

that contingency may be over-calculated, for once a higher
tariff comes in force every one would be on equal footing.
Hence the steadily conservative buying of the past few months
is not likely to be much affected by prospective higher fre#ght
rates .

Some little comment has been caused recently by the trend
of log prices. Despite the strenuous efforts of the logging
operators to hold the fir log market firm, prices have been
breaking a little, though the reduction has not been sufficient
to catise a re-adjustment of the lumber price schedule, for the
simple reason that lumber quotations have been much closer
than prevailing log prices have warranted. The drop in fir
logs, estimated at $3 to $5 per thousand, according to quality,
has not been officially made by the Loggers’ Association. Mills
assert that for really good booms they still have to pay the
rates that have been held all summer, of $20, $25 and $30 per
thousand. Cedar logs have firmed up somewhat, the price at

which fairly good stock can be bought being about $31. Every
» one is not selling for those figures, however. Supplies of both

fir and hemlock have been good so far, and cedar which
showed a surplus is down to a much smaller visible supply.

Railroad Tie Production is Increasing

The normal demand for railroad ties is somewhere between
100 million and 125 million-annually, says the recent-U. S.
Forest Service report compiled in response to the Capper
resolution in the Senate. In 1918, purchases were slightly
under 77,500,000, according to the report, and in 10 months of
1919 were slightly over 84,500,000. During the war and the
period of government supervision of the railroads, extensions
could not be made and improvements were necessarily con-
fined to those of an urgent character. Lumber purchases were
therefore at a minimum. Even under such a policy of re-
trenchment railroad purchases of sawed materials, excluding
hewn railroad ties, telephone poles, etc., aggregated approxi-
mately 4% billion feet or 14% of the total lumber cut of the
country for 1918.

That there have been profound changes in. the lumber
distribution from different regions during the past year, con-
tinues the report, is shown by the invasion of the middle
western and eastern states by Douglas fir ties. These are
regions which in the past have been supplied with the standard
oak tie cut immediately along the rights of way or with
southern pine ties from the South. During 1919 orders
amounting to. nearly 100,000,000 board. feet were placed for
Douglas fir ties for eastern roads because of way and because
of the excessive costs of local ties. In other words, oak ties
‘cut within a few miles of the right of way and bearing prac-
tically no charge in freight and southern pine ties are now
being replaced by fir ties hauled overland across the continent
or shipped through the Panama Canal.

Forest Fires Drenched by Rain

The citizens of Porcupine are resting easily now. Rain,
urgently needed and never more welcome, commenced fall-
ing and continued without ceasing throughout the greater
part of a day, and the ground was so completely saturat-
ed with moisture that all danger from the bush fires which
menaced the safety of the community has been banished, and
no further fear is felt for the balance of the summer.

The rain came not a moment too soon. The flames,
spreading from fires which had been smouldering for days
and which were fanned into life, had approached so close to
the town that the T. & N. O. station, the agent’s house, the
Connaught Hotel and a large number of residences in that
section were threatened with destruction, and only untiring
work on the part of the citizens saved some of the buildings.
The battle was maintained for 48 hours without cessation.
The women biought food to the fighters. The station at
Golden City also had a narrow escape, the fires approaching
within a stone’s throw of the structure.

The countryside had been so dry from the continued lack

of rain that the fires had an easy passage when the wind drove

‘them ahead. On the first approach of danger men volunteered
for service and the fire brigade turned out. Assistance was
also sought in Timmins, Ont.

Some Kkeminiscences of Swedish Lumbering

By Anton Selander, F.E., Montreai

vember, when there has fallen a few inches of snow. At this time the thermometer
shows about ten bdélow zero, which is considered very cold in Sweden. Every parish
in this part of the country has its own language, which is not even similar to the
Swedish, and if one has not been brought upin that part of the country one cannot under-
stand the talk of the natives. Luckily these people speak Swedish also. : a.
I met an Englishman up there coming down from a fishing trip; and he said that his
guide was speaking in his parish dialect, the Englishman answering in English, and tha.
they understood each other perfectly. I think, however,. that my English friend and the ~
guide probably had passed some spring creeks, and perhaps tasted some of the water with
something in it. A eS el
Anders & Erik had a contract for sixty thousand logs to be cut upon the crown forests a
near the border of Norway. oe i
They had made preparations for a monthahead, getting choppers and helpers, and were
starting to load up their bobsleighs. The sleighs in use are somewhat different from those _
used in Canada, in that the runners are only an inch and a quarter wide and the width ee
between the runners ‘s only 3 feet; but they have wings on the sleighs, and the bunks are
generally five feet wide. The tength of the first sleigh is six feet, and the second nine feet,
coupled together by a chain. or es ee
One bright morning in the middle of November, Anders & Erik called their men to- —
gether and everything was packed, and off they went with forty horses and ninety men. —

them as usual. om 5)
The distance Anders & Erik had to travel with their outht was about ninety-five miles, and it took them four days to‘arrive
at their destination, but violin and peasoup, along with something strong, kept everyone in good humor. . ae

Arriving at the spot, the first thing to do was to get the Government man to blaze and stamp trees enough to build the
camp and stables. This was done in the morning, and at four in the afternoon the camp was finished, to the extent of keeping = *
the men warm. AS Ele oe Oe

The lumber camps there are made with bunks all around the walls, and with a fireplace of the same height as the bunks
‘in the centre. This fireplace is usually six feet wide and long in proportion to the length of the camp. If the camp is very long —
two or three fireplaces are used. The outlet for the smoke is through a large opening in the roof of the camp, and this opening
has a kind of a wooden chimney about eight feet high. Series 5

The next morning Anders & Erik blazed out the logging road with their axes, and after that the Government inspector n
stamped all trees necessary to be cut in the road, marked up the size of them abreast high outside the bark, and sent the bill to
the company. :

In the Government forest one cannot cut a tree except that marked by the Government stamp, and this stamp igs put on a
blaze breast high, and also on the root of the tree. The regulations compel one to put the logs so that the Government inspec-
tor can see the stamp on the first log in the tree, before anyone is allowed to scale the logs. The stamp near the root must be
left on the stump in order that the inspector can see that no tree is cut that is not stamped. ~ R

Anders & Erik had had the road nicely cut up, and in one place it was necessary to dynamite a small hill to avoid any up- | A
grade. ' ;
A week later snow fell about a foot deep, then came cold arid clear weather, and the tcing of the road was begun immedi-
ately. This takes considerable time, because some snow must fall after the road is iced. The snow is ploughed to the sides to_
form sidewalks for the road, these sidewalks also being iced. Such a road makes it possible to have narrow runners on the
sleighs, and consequently less resistance for the horses to overcome. ues SOAS ot eee
~ The men that fell the trees go in gangs of two. The trees are cut with a saw three feet from the ground, and every tree is
barked with a kind of chisel about five inches wide. The chisel has a hand'e, rather heavy, about five feet long, and a fairly
large tree can be barked by two men, and branched in about two nfinutes. et a

When a few. hundred of these have been cut down and barked, the company’s checker comes around and examines the tree. -
He possessed an axe and on the back of the axe is the company’s mark with an open back, so that when the checker applies
the stamp on the trees the stamp is cut out of the wood and passed out through the open back of the stamp.

The checker puts on marks on every tree in the place where he considers they should be cut to logs to the most advantage, —
according to grade and size. After him come the men that cut the trees, and start immediately to conyert them into logs where _
the checker has applied the company’s stamp. et ie

If the road is short only one sleigh is used, letting the logs drag with their other ends on the road. But Anders & Erik had. - -o#-
a long road, so they had to haul their logs to what the Swedes call “lunbankar,” which corresponds to our skidways, and from
there the logs are lloaded on the sleighs to be piled on the river bank. No logs are allowed to be piled on the ice in the river, ©
because there is a possibility of their forming large jams in the spring, and also because they prevent the ice from breaking up.

About the fifteenth of December Anders & Erik wanted some money, so they requested the company’s scalers to come and _
scale what logs they had hauled down to the river. . . 2 US ice

The scaler in Sweden is responsible only to his own company, but must be fair in scaling, otherwise the company: would _
another year have difficulty in getting jobbers. . eS

The scaler uses a book in which sizes in inches and half inches are marked from five inches to twenty. With the scaler a
are two assistant scalers and they measure the logs with a‘caliper one foot from the top end. They also have a chain between Joa
them, as the logs are certain odd feet in length, from thirteen to twenty-nine feet. These assistant scalers call out the length ©
and size of each log and the head scaler, who does the recording, reneats the measurements aloud and then records them.

During February Anders & Erik had plenty of work keeping the road clear from snow, but got better weather towards the =»
beginning of March. They, however, had a large contract and on the nineteenth of March were still hauling. On the twenty- 3
first of March the road became so bad that they ceased hauling and a few thousand feet had to be left over for next year, “4 > “54

In logging on Government forests in Sweden the trees must be looped and everything except branches must be taken
away, whether rotten or otherwise. The rotten trees are, however, also useful, as Sweden uses great quantities of charcoal!
in her smelters, The rotten logs are cut two feet long and driven to the sawmill, and with the slabs converted into charcoal.

What qualities constitute a good salesman in the lumber
and wood products line? This is a question frequently asked
and answered in many different ways. Some lay emphasis on
} one characteristic and some on another. It is not often when
| _ the matter is brought up for discussion that there is universal

\p

Tt verdict on what constitutes the efficient, thoroughly equipped
, and well balanced salesman. It is assumed that he must
| __ know his stock, the grades and thicknesses that he is selling,
| the purposes to which the different kind of woods can be
fused, when delivery can be made, etc.

tial that he know his stock and it is.also imperative that he
should know his customer. Herein is where many errors are
made. ’

; There is many a bright representative on the road who
-’ knows all about the lumber that he is selling, where it is
grown, how it is manufactured, why it is better than other
kinds of wood and a lot of data that makes up an interesting
line of talk and helps to arouse interest and, in many Cases,
~ close the transaction.

On the other hand, too, few salesmen really know a cus-
tomer. They think they do, but are greatly mistaken in a
multiplicity of instances. Now and then some unthinking,
egotistical and self-centred individual will talk about “con-
trolling” such and such acount or “directing” the purchases
of Mr. So-and-So or practically doing the “buying” tor Mr.
Blank. In their blindness and self-deceit they imagine their
influence and magnetic personality are so great that they

‘man who called upon a yard man not long since and was in-
formed that his stock was pretty well assorted and that he—
the yardman—really needed nothing at the present time. The
would-be capable representative did not think that one “no”
was enough for final decision and sat around the office mak-
ing out a bill of goods of various thicknesses, widths, lengths
and grades on two or three different lines of softwoods. Af-
| ter he had extended the items he presented the document to
| Mr. Blank, stating “Now I was out in your yard a little while

before you came in and I think this is about what you re-
} ~ quire. That would make a pretty nice order and if you will
| __ sign it I will very much appreciate your kindness. I am sure

you need this stuff and we are the ones to give you the ser-
vice and the stock.”
x Knowing the Nature of a Customer
‘Needless to relate Mr. Blank promptly intimated to the
unduly aggressive pedlar of pine products that he knew his
own mind and that his room in the office would be more wel-
come than his presence, and the salesman beat a hasty re-
» © treat.
Of course, salesmanship largely resolves itself into know-
- ing human nature and this particular man did not know his
customer, and he thought stampeding, suggestion and forc-
ing the issue would win out in this case, but the mark was
- missed by a long distance. All this might have scored with
- another dealer. Different methods and various tactics have
to be adopted in order to carry and what will put the thing

____ There is a lumber merchant in Hamilton who has a little
black book which he hauls out when a lumber salesman calls
and this miniature reference work constitutes a perpetual in-
ventory. The yardman carefully consults it, goes through the
- various lines and tells the caller of a firm with whom he does
business just what he can use and what he cannot use. if
he should close the book and say “No thank you, I do not
think there is anything I want to-day,” there is no use in

mind. Most of the men who call upon this particular gentle-
_ man realize that he possesses decisiveness, and that his judg-

ment is final and no artifice, pretext or plan can induce him
to change his mind when once it is made up.

It is not advisable to push a customer too hard when once
It is certainly a great mistake
to load him up. Speaking the other day of his experience,
an old lumber traveller stated that he visited a certain town
in Western Ontario where a man was starting in the retail
lumber trade. “I sold him a few carloads of stuff,’ he said,
“and told Mr. G—, who was. quite inexperienced, that he
would have to learn the needs of his customers. and his local-
ity by actual contact; that there would be other lines which
he would need later on, but that I would leave him to find
in the meantime he could get along
on the order that he had placed with me.

Loaded Him Down With Stock

“About two weeks later a representative from another
manufacturing concern happened along and, seeing that Mr.
G— was somewhat green at the game, told him that he should
have so-and-so and so-and-so, and loaded him up with a lot of
odd sizes, thicknesses and grades that he did not dispose of
in years. This was in 1913 and when I called on him the
other day there was still some of that material in the yard.
Traveller No. 2 never Since secured any business from Mr.
G—. This salesman made the mistake of going at the cus-
tomer like a Metropolitan barber does after a casual patron.

“The tonsorial artist wants to give the man in the chair
everything from an electric massage to a Turkish bath, going
on the principle that now we have him we might as well
squeeze him for all that is possible to get out of him, for he
may never pass this way again.

“Such an attitude in the lumber business is entirely a mis-
take. A traveller should keep his promise, be fair, open and
frank with his customer and also his firm, and not hold back
any facts that he should make known and which the purchaser
will find out afterwards. It does not pay to “take a chance,”
as the.aftermath is often not only unpleasant, but unprofitable.
And I believe in being cheerful. There is no good going
around looking as if the bottom had dropped out of creation
and that the sun had gone out of its orbit. Business may be
slow, payments rank, trade dead as a cemetery, and the out-
look as black as Erebeus, but keep these things to yourself.
I do not mean to lie deliberately or misrepresent things, but
a cheerful countenance and a happy way of presenting matters
carries more inspiration and fosters a better feeling than
gloom and despair. Even if the worst is at the worst, one
could say when asked how business is:-“Oh it has not been
very active, but we feel sure it will soon revive,” or “things
are brighter and I hear a great many in the trade looking
hopefully to the future.” ;

Do Not Give Way to Pessimism

_ If you cannot speak glowingly of the present talk of the
improved condition that we all believe is coming in the lum-
ber arena in the not far distant future, by reason of demand
and an active building campaign.

Be like the minister who was called upon to give a certi-
ficate of character to a shrewd politician. The latter happen-
ed to be a wealthy member of his congregation and had con-
tributed liberally to the work of his church. The parson did
not like to turn down his political friend who had in years
gone by been in a number of shady transactions, and bore a

_ somewhat unenviable reputation with his party. He penned a
note that ‘the bearer, Mr. Blank, is a gentleman whom I have

known for many years. He has a spotless future.”

So if business is quiet and off color we can speak of its
future as bright and promising and full of hope, and this is
no-day dream or perfunctory performance. - It is real, vital
and earnest common sense.

The railways have in the
past been strongly accused of be-
ing responsible for a good deal
of the damage caused by-fires in
the forest regions through which
they run. We are in position to
state that they are still respon-
sible for many of the fires occur-
ring in the Province of Quebec.

The causes of these railway
fires are:

In the course of railway con-
struction, during the clearing of

- the right of way or by their en-
gines and steam-shovels.

Hot ashes scattered on the
right of way.

Sparks and hot coals blown
from the chimney.

Fires caused -by railroad em-
ployees, whilst burning tier,
grass or brush.

Smokers on the trains.

Fires by strangers walking or camping on the right of way.

According to the reports published by the Department of Interior,
the origin of the forest fires caused by railways in the different pro-
vinces are: :

British Columbia, 10 to 20%.

Ontario, 50 to 67%.

Prairie Province, 10 to 24%,

Quebec, 12 to 30%,

Nova Scotia, 19 to 22%,

New Brunswick, 11%. °

Generally the greater proportion of these accidents occurred dur-
ing the construction of the line because many employees paid but little
or no attention to the observation of the elementary rules to prevent
forest conflagrations. Moreover, the steam engines and the steam
shovels used during the construction are generally of a poor type
when they are not of second-hand nature, It stands to reason they
are often deprived of an apparatus to prevent the escape of sparks.
Therefore, it was an exception when the forest was not burned
severely during the construction or the extension of the railway.

While the contractors were building the Gouin dam on the St.
Maurice, they were obliged to use oil-burning locomotives to bring
up their material. During the three years they were busy at this
work, there was not a single fire, whereas during the construction of
the Transcontinental Railway, notwithstanding the precautions taken,
and every year since it has been in operation, numerous fires have
occurred to the extent that on each side of the right of way from
La Reine to Parent, there is a zone of one to many miles wide in
which the forest has been scorched.

During the first years of operation of new lines, the administra-
tion generally uses rubbish material such as broken winded engines,
and the personnel is not yet trained enough to meet the emergencies,
with the result that there often happens accidents, such as we deplore.
Along the Quebec and Lake St. John Railway, fire has repeated
every year its damages, until recently, when the necessary precat-
tions were finally taken. It is the same when going from North Bay
to Fort William, where one can only regret the immense losses caused
by the railways through this section of Ontario which was rich in
pine and other trees of good quality.

It, therefore, stands to reason, that during the period of construc-

G. C. Piche, Quebec

.tion, special care should be taken to prevent any fire if possible.

Methods of Operation Improved.

We must say that if this state of affairs was true in the past, the
railway authorities have somewhat amended matters and we must
admit that, in general, they have greatly improved their methods of
operation, but there are yet reforms to be accomplished and improve-

ments to be made, and it is my purpose to discuss them briefly.

Actually the railways are placed under the control of the Board

of Railway Commissioners if they operate in different provinces, such

boundaries of our province, such as the Canada and Gulf Termi
Railway, and the Roberval and Saguenay Railway. All these railv
are carrying out as well as they can the regulations enacted by th
two public bodies. ° ann
There exist, however, a few railways that still escape this contr
and it is the most absurd thing to find that it is the railways bel
to the nation which are acting independently of the Board of R

to control all lines in Canada. We hope that the obstacles
certain persons to check the passing of the National railw

ion of France by at least 150 millions francs a year.

Necessity of Safeguarding Forests.

_ We have several reasons to copy this example which would ensure
us not only a saving in our coal bill but would also safeguard our

‘ests. Last summer two fires occurred along the Transcontinental
ilway, one at Vandry and the other at Timbrell, causing the destruc-

of over 50 square miles of forests; some 150,000 cords of pulp-
yod, which, if converted into paper in this province, would have
yielded a product worth about $10,000,000.

_ Do you not think that, with part of this amount, much could have
en done to develop some of our water falls, to generate electricity,
build transmission lines, and to buy electric locomotives; in a
word, to organize the electrical traction in that region, whereas if
‘nothing is done the same disaster may happen to-morrow and produce
as much damage if not more.

- During the late war we learned many lessons, and one especially
_to face the future in 2 different manner than we used to in tthe past.
Not long ago, when the Federal Government undertook the construc-
tion of the Transcontinental, bitter criticism were uttered by many,

Less of the Tree will Soon be

No other industry furnishes the would-be reformer such material
for his favorite pastime of “viewing with alarm” as he readily finds
_ by a superficial survey of the lumbering activities of the United
“States. The bald statement that but forty per cent. of the industry’s
w material is utilized is sufficient—to the uninitiated—to prove
‘oss inefficiency and wilful waste. But the truth, when one really
sets at it, is not nearly so bad as some frequently quoted generaliza-
ions would seem to indicate. .

It is a business axiom that the reclamation of any waste product

is practicable only when it is profitable. No business enterprise can
a afford to engage in conservation measures purely out of sentiment.
The mountains of the West are full of minerals that would be tre-
mendously valuable if it were possible to get them out and convert
them to use without spending more in the operation than the value
; e product. Every industry is compelled to “waste” those things
— not pay for their
has run very high.
_---s-‘ This situation, however, is changing rapidly. Chemical science
has made important strides in the development of processes for the
- utilization of waste products of the forest; and it happens that chem-
~ istry affords the chief key to the utilization problem in this industry.
- Then, too, the upward trend of timber values in itself has tended
to stimulate interest in every seeming opportunity for more com-
- plete utilization. When the timber supply seemed inexhaustible, the
a titude of those who owned timber was much like the attitude of the
rican farmer in the days when farm land was so cheap that it
more profitable to work the land out and move than to main-
producing capacity by fertilization and rotation of crops. To-
timber has a value that serves as an incentive to the develop-
ent of processes for its ‘complete conversion into merchantable
ducts, and this incentive is bound to increase with the unfailing

e in stumpage values.
A visit to the sawmills of any section to-day will show that very
re wasting the short lengths and other odds and ends that
y mill sent to the refuse burner a few years ago. As the standard
es of lumber have increased in value, these items have become
ble, and are adding to the profit of the business. But this is
a first step in utilization. Other steps. of far greater import-
re being taken by lumber manufacturers in all parts of the
States, by way of installations of plants for the production

emical by-products, paper pulp, etc.

It is not altogether improbable that the time may come when
‘by-product distillates of wood will rank in value with the product

spent billions of dollars abroad, without feeling the worst for it.

Before the war the C. P. R. authorities were seriously considering
the question to operate by electricity their line between Montral and
Quebec. Besides the diminution of the danger of fire, passengrs
would not be exposed to receiving in their eyes and over their clothes,
the dust and the soot escaping from the locomotive. The electrical
railway would be the real dustless railroad and in that respect would
be well patronized by the travellers.

I believe that we should insist in having a change in the fuel em-
ployed, or, as I prefer it, use electricity exclusively for the traction of
cars in forest regions. We have no oil deposits but we have enormous
water powers still idle.

Other Measures to Be Adopted.

There are other minor measures, which should be adopted, such
as the screening of the smoking cars or compartments and the placing
of barrels of water on trestles and in sections where the grade is steep.
We should not forget the use of signs in the cars, and even on the
engines, to call the attention of travellers and of railroad employees,
to the precautions to be taken at all times. :

We should not fail to discuss this question in a broad manner.
From what I know of the railway authorities, I believe, that they will
co-operate. Being interested in every national movement, they will
naturally aim to improve their methods, so as to increase the safe-
guarding of our forests, and they will take the means to employ elec-
tricity wherever possible, in order to reduce the amount of our imports
and develop our great resources.

"hat Will By-Products of Sawmill be Worth?

Left in the Woods to Rot and Less will be Discarded as
ee _ Valueless at the Mill—The Pioneer Work of the Chemist

production of petroleum may begin to fall below the tremendous
and constantly increasing demand for oil. Whenever a serious short-
age sends oil prices above a certain point, however, ethyl (grain)
alcohol distilled from wood will afford an efficient substitute for many
purposes, for which oil products are now used, including the operation |
of internal combustion engines for the automobile and other auto-
motive machinery. Grain alcohol may be produced from any wood
at relatively low cost, and by a process which yields other products
of value as well. Wood alcohol, produced by destructive distillation,
is one of the pioneer by-products, but one for which the demand is
increasing rapidly, but for direct use and to serve as a denaturing
agent for grain alcohol distilled for industrial use.

Relatively few. of the important chemical by-products can be
produced from any one wood. Tanning extracts, for example, are —
obtained chiefly from the bark of oak and hemlock. Turpentine is
reclaimed from those woods possessing the necessary resinous con-
tent. Pine oils, as the name implies, are produced from the pines.
But chemical scrutiny demonstrates that practically every wood pos-
sesses important by-product possibilities that may be greatly magni-
fied as experts explore further the field of organic chemistry.

During the war the range of by-products was greatly increased.
In Germany, fabrics of many varieties were developed and manufac-
tured from wood. Wood fabric rugs and carpets of serviceable char-
acter were produced. Bags and sacks, fibre silks, imitation leather
and many other articles of utility found market as substitutes for
materials that were no longer obtainable. In the United States, too,
recent years have seen remarkable development in the use of wood —
in manufacture of wall-board, an industry of great and growing size,
and in the production of linoleums, heat-insulating materials, ete., —
thus creating important industries that are totally dependent on our
forests for their primary raw material.

Progress is dependent upon the chemists’s pioneer work, plus —

commercial development and exploitation that create demand and find
markets. Until these things began to be done,.the lumber manufac-
‘turer necessarily limited his utilization to the conversion of his raw
material into lumber and other primary products which he could

make and sell with profit.
Much of this chemical pioneering has been done, but far more

is coming and as it comes it will steadily cut down the percentage of

waste. Less of the tree will be left in the woods to rot. Less will be.
discarded as valueless at the mill. And a constantly increasing vol-
ume of other products than lumber will develop out of the saw mil]
industry, with resulting increase in the profits of saw mill operation
and proportionate enhancement of the value of timber.

It is not unreasonable to suppose that eventually the valine oi

chemical by-products may very nearly equal the sane of the direct
products of the saw mill. In fact is has-been estimated by competent
engineers in connection with careful surveys of operating properties
that in some instances the by- -products possibilities of lumber enter-
prises now carrying on exceed in potential profit what’ the same oper-
ations are earning on their lumber.
These facts should be kept in mind in connection with the consid-
eration of the merits of any timber property for which operating plans
are in contemplation. They have a direct bearing on future timber
values and on the present earning possibilities underlying timber in-
vestments.

How Scotch Solve Pulp Shortage

problem still causes much discussion amongst pro- -
As a means of immediate
relief, several paper mills in the Lothians are receiving from Amer-
ica and Spain enormous quantities of esparto grass. This eases the
paper shortage in Scotland.

Much discitssion is aroused by experiments at Manchester Col-
lege of Technology with peat, of which large quantities exist in Ire-
land and parts of Scotland and England. Peat is proved to be an
excellent substitute for wood pulp ‘in the production of newsprint,
wallpapers, paper board and a host of other things. It is urged in
view of the great shortage the invention would be valuable even if
it were permitted to manufacture nothing but brown paper, while
excellent newsprint could be obtained by mixing 50 per cent. peat
The process is so simple
that large quantities could be produced without any moving of ma-
chinery. Moreover, a trade in brushes could be developed from
tough roots extracted from peat. One London firm already has of-
fered $60 a ton for the liquid extracted from peat. A quarter of a
million sterling would be required for its development. It is hoped
this will be forthcoming without calling in the aid of foreigners.

The agent-general of Quebec issues a public denial of ‘the state-
ment published that ‘timber for making paper is running short
in Quebec Province, which alone has between 70 ,000 and 80,000 square
miles of timber limits or forests, which means 61,000,000 acres of for-
est land, or anything between 450,000,000 and 500,000,000 cords: of

mills now existing in Canada for the next hundred years.

Economy in Use of Paper
The Nation’s Business, a magazine published by the chamber
of commerce of the United States, in discussing the paper situation,
cries out loudly against extravagance, and urges that the United

States government set the pace for the people of the Union along

the lines of economy in the use of paper. In this connection, the
magazine cites the case of a Hellena, Montana, editor who received
identical publications from the same department of the government
under three separate addresses. The Nation’s Business also de-
nounces the practice of using the government printing office for the
issue of propaganda for the members of the senate and other depart-
ments of the government, quoting one senator to the effect that a
Kansas business man of his acquaintance in three days received 165
government publications, and calling for a saving of paper by the
“United States federal authorities.

This waste of white paper is not peculiar to the United States.
\The franking privileges allowed the members of parliament and sena-
tors in Canada, and the accessibility to them of the government print-
ing office, permits them to flood the Canadian mails with printed

_ copies of their own or other politicians’ speeches, a majority of the

addresses receiving a number of copies of the same publication. This
is surely a great waste of white paper, of which there i is sO serious a
‘shortage at the present time.

Here is a matter in the interests of economy which should
engage the attention of the federal government. Waste in paper
as well as in other lines should be checked. A strong hand is need-

ed to effect this reform.

Very little can be said by the lumbermen at St. John at the pre-

and turning out lumber ‘in only moderate quantities. As labor,
having been advanced in wages during the past spring, is more in-
and men only work in a slow, careless man-.
‘ner, so even there may be a slackened demand at the moment. There
will be no excessive production of sawn lumber and if building pro-

_.. paganda starts both on this continent and in Great Britain there will

‘not be enough lumber to go around and demand will again become
active and present prices will be maintained. Some-stocks of deals

How Leading London Firm Loads and

HE economic transporta-

point not immediately in

J contact with either rail-

{way or water route to mills and

‘factories in certain parts of Can-

ada is a problem to the solution

of which a good many manufac-

turers have been gving consider-
able thought and attention.

Among the firms who have
given much thought to the solu-
tion of the problem are the Beck
Manufacturing Company, manu-
facturers of cigar and tobacco
boxes, London, Ontario. This
‘company cut their own lumber at
the plant in London from logs
obtained in the surrounding
country. Naturally, however,
in a district so largely settled,
the firm has found the radius
from which they could obtain logs of the proper quality gradually
expanding. Where timber lots were adjacent to railways the fact

_ that the radius was extending did not matter so much, but even then,

‘unlike in the old days, it has been found increasingly difficult, and
particularly in the summer time, to induce farmers, largely because

" of the scarcity of hired help, to draw the logs to a railway shipping

point. Within a radius of a few miles from its factory it was pos-
sible for the company to utilize teams; beyond that it was practically
impossible from an economic standpoint.

The Beck Manufacturing Company are, however, now no longer
obsessed with the problem of getting an adequate supply of logs to
factory—they have solved it. Two months ago, after making an
investigation extending as far as points in the United States, the
Company purchased from the Packard-Ontario Motor Company, of
Toronto a four-ton Packard truck equipped with a new loader
attachment, also a trailer. The equipment has since been in con-
tinuous operation and the results, as the writer learned from a
personal investigation, are entirely satisfactory. “The equipment,”
remarked a member of the firm, “has been a great convenience to us;
it has enabled us to get timber from distances we could not otherwise
have reached and to do it with ease, economy and expedition. In

jsther words, it has done what
from previous investigations, we
expected it would do.”
One Man Loads Truck and
Trailer

With the trailer attached the
truck has during the past two
months conveyed on an average
about 2200 feet of the scaled hard-
wood logs per load to the factory
in London. The number of truck
trips per day have, of course,
varied according to the radius
covered. Recently, and at the
time the writer was investigating
the truck, with trailer, was haul-
ing logs from Kippen, a voint 43
miles distant fron: London, or a
total of 86 miles tor the round
trip, the load some days exceed-
ing the average of 2200 feet of
scaled logs. The round trip is
made in from eight to ten hours, including time taken in loading
and the usual mid-day dinner hour. On one occasion two trips were
made in the course of a day, but the striking and interesting feature
in regard to the undertaking is that only one man is employed in
the whole operation, that one man both driving the truck and load-
ing it and the trailer.

The fact that but one man does both the driving and the loading
is, of course, only made possible by the loading attachment with
which the truck is equipped.

A brief explanation of the loader shows how it is possible for
one man to load big hardwood on to both truck and trailer. The
Loader (which is obvious from what one man can accomplish in
operating it) is simple in its construction, being driven from the
propeller shaft which drives a winding drum mounted on either side
and underneath the bolsters of the truck through a phosphor-bronze
worm gear, equipped with end thrust ball bearings, which reduces
the loss of power to a minimum. Attached to the winding drum
is a log chain, which is in turn hooked to the centre of another
chain that is passed under the log at either end and attached to the
truck. This done, two skids are placed at the side of the truck and
then the man steps on either footboard, touches 2 foot pedal, which

in turn starts the winding drum. and in a few minutes the log is
resting on the truck in the desired position. When the requisite
number of logs are loaded upon the truck the trailer is brought
into position parallel to the truck and 6n the side at which is
located the winding drum; then the hauling chain is thrown across
the trailer to the opposite side and he same process of loading is
employed as with the truck.

Loads Three Logs at One Time

By the aid of this loading devige. it is possible to handle more
than one log at one operation. The ,Beck Company usually lead
three at a time and particularly logs up to sixteen inches in diameter.

‘The Company has not yet taken its truck into the bush but to do
so is, of course, a potential possibility governed largely by the charac-
ter of the roads and the season of the year. One thing, however,
is certain—by the loader attachment the utility of the truck in con-
nection with lumbering operations has been enormously increased,
no only for the actual process of loading, but by the aid of the
winding drum and its chain, for the skidding of logs, from low-lying
or swampy ground to where they can be loaded on the truck itself.
Aside, however, from the utility of the loader, the Packard truck
is made doubly efficient in this respect because of the underslung
winch which can be installed at the rear of the chassis.

The writer learned that the Beck Company is not only satis-
fied with the tonnage hauled by the truck and its trailer, but with
the speed as well with which it covers its respective routes v.hen
hauling logs.

But the importance of the loader equipment is not so much
what it has accomplished for the Beck Company ; its main importance
lies in the fact that it opens up a potential possibiliy of manufacturers
and dealers being able to gain access to the many small lots of
hardwood timber scattered throughout the province of Ontario
which were practically beyond their economic reach because of the
i-ansnortation difficulties which. stocd in the way.

The work done by this loading device has been so satisfactory
that the Packard Company has decided to demonstrate it at the
Canadian National Exhibition.

Hardwood Association Appoints New Men
The membership of the National Hardwood Lumber Association,
whose headquarters are at Chicago, has grown very rapidly of late,
and now numbers over 1,300. The Association has been in existence
over twenty-three years. The constantly growing demand for Na-
tional inspection has necessitated enlargement of the staff in both

' Canada and the United States.

Wm, Francis Jones has been appointed assistant to Chief Inspec-
tor Arthur G. Bowler, Montreal, and has entered upon his new du-
ties. Horace F. Taylor, who is President of the N. H. L. A., of which
George C. Goodfellow of Montreal, is a director, has named the new
Inspection Rules committee and chosen Kersley, of Montreal, as a
member. Two Toronto firms have recently joined the National Hard-
wood, Lumber Association in the persons of the Leigh Lumber Co.
and the MacDonald Lumber Co. The Association has shown its ap-
preciation of the work of all its inspectors by giving them a two-
weeks’ vacation this year. John E. Banks is the chief inspector of
the Association in Toronto, ‘

Mystery of the Mayflower’s Timber
The mystery of the discovery of the timber of the Mayflower is
not yet completely solved, but Dr. R. F. Harris produces evidence
‘vhich will certainly “make” the lovely house known as Old Jordan’s
Hostel at Seagreen in Buckinghamshire, Eng., a place of pilgrimage
for Americans. For two years Dr. Harris has been engaged in search-
ing for traces of the fate of the ship which took the Pilgrim Fathers
from England 300 years ago. "
Someone made a charjge remark on the Mayflower timber in the
hostel barn. Dr. Harris tried *t6%iniVestigate what appeared to be a
local tradition and he told his story to an enthusiastic little company
of English and American Pilgrims. J;

found on one of the beams. Papers in the record office give the May-

blems which may be intended for Mayflowers. Old Jordan’s is cer-
tainly not later than 1625 and the “bricks” used after that date were
ship timbers at a period when there was a famine in home-grown oak.

Most of those who heard Dr. Harris felt that a little more evi-

Nova Scotia Lumber Quality Better Than Ever

Rufus FE. Dickie Reviews Operations of Past Season and Looks for Good Business
Conditions to Prevail Next Spring -- Output May be Curtailed

NE of the progressive
young lumbermen of the
Bluenose province is Ru-
fus E. Dickie, of Stew-
acke, N.S. At the last annual
convention of the Canadian Lum-
bermen’s . Association, held in
Quebee? Gity, he was elected one
of the new directors and took an
active part in the proceedings.
Mr. Dickie operates a large mill
on the Stewiacke River on the
C. N/Railway, and has a dressing
mill and electric light plant at the
station, while last winter he had
several portable mills cutting in
the woods. He reports that the
midsummer seems to have slowed
dovn all the selling marxets to
a certain extent, and this condi-
tion, coupled with the rather un-
certain outlook for next winter,
is causin® some large operators 10
Nova Scotia to consider seriously
a curtailment of production for the next year or possibly two years.
Speaking recently to the “Canada Lumberman,” Mr. Dickie said:
“T_ast spring we did not have the usual quantity of rains and water
for driving, and consequently the total winter cut for the province
did not get to the mills. On account of the late spring and summer
being especially dry, these logs have not yet come in, and other
operators, who got their logs to the storage boom in the spring, are
not now able to replenish their supply at the mills, from the storage
ground, and are closing down. We usually have good rains in
August, so am hoping that the shutdown will not last long.

“The quality of the Nova Scotia manufacture this year is much
better than previous, and we hope soon to compete favorably with
the other provinces. There have been plenty of men during the sea-
son, and they have been giving better results. Labor, in the lumber-
ing line, seems to be more settled, and men are becoming more
willing to work. Previous to this year, it was hardly possible to cor-
rect a man when at fault. This year, as a rule, they will stand any
amount of reasonable criticism.”

Mr. Dickie reports that the harvest excursions always interfere
with milling operations in his district and these western trips are not
fayorably looked upon by the employers, as there is always consid-
erable trouble afterwards to fill up the vacancies created by those who

leave. The lumber manufacturers of Nova Scotia feel that there 15
sufficient help west of Montreal to take care of the harvest operations
if properly gone after without interfering with the Maritime pro-
vinces who are only just beginning to have men enough to carry on
necessary work.

In regard to shipments and the car situation, Mr. Dickie says
that although the American market has weakened considerably, yet
there seems to be an increase in cars available for that market, and
consequently, shippers with old contracts, are loading every available

car, and sending the same forward. Cars appear to be more plentiful
than they have been. For Upper Canada and local points it is possible
to get what cars are needed, but it is almost necessary to steal them,
as the railways have instructions to take every empty to the coal
mines, to load up with coal for the West.

“Although present conditions are not bright, yet I am optimistic, ’
continued the speaker, ‘and hopeful for the future. I expect to see
good business conditions prevailing this coming winter and spring.
I believe that this is the feeling of all lumber manufacturers in this
district. Notwithstanding this, however, we are determined to cut
down our output, for future, rather than present reasons.”

The largest mill belonging to Rufus E. Dickie, situated at junction of Stewiacke river and the C. N. railway at Dickie’s Siding, N. S. On the extreme left

is seen one end of the boarding house and to the immediate left of the mill are the blacksmith shop,

a half on the Truro side of Stewiacke. The equipment consists of
two rotaries, right and left-hand; lath machine, band re-saw and
planers. ‘Lhis mill runs only in the summer time. Besides this, Mr.
Dickie has four portable mills, which run all winter and part of the
summer. In addition, he owns a dressing plant at Stewiacke Station,
the machinery consisting of two four-sided planers and matchers, one
6 in. band re-saw, an inside moulder and power-feed rip-saw.

Connected with this dressing mill is the power plant of the Stew-
iacke Electric Light & Power Co., which provides illumination for
the towns of Stewiacke, Shubenacadie and Milford. Mr. Dickie is
also the sole owner of the light and power plant.

In regard to standing timber, the subject of this reference says
he has been able to buy sufficient each year to keep his mills going.
The capacity of his stationary mill is about 75,000 ft. per day. The
shipping facilities are excellent, being on the main-line of the C.N.R.,
and near Halifax, and as a consequence he is not troubled with any
car shortage. The storage ground at this mill will hold about 7,000.-
000 ft. The machinery is principally Oxford foundry. The re-saw is
a No. 341 Yates, while the planer and matcher-is also a Yates. The
planers in the dressing mill at Stewiacke Stattion are one S. A. Woods

machine and carpenter shop

and the other McGregor-Gourlay, while the re-saw is a No. 341
Yates.

The portable ‘mills of Mr. Dickie consist mostly of Oxford foua-
dry equipment, using Robb Engineering Co. boilers and engines. Two
mills are equipped with 85 horse-power boilers and 65 horse-power
engines. The third has a 65 horse-power boiler, and 50 horse-power
engine, while the fourth has a 55 horse-power boiler and a 45 horse-
»nower engine. Three of the portables were located last winter near
“tewiacke and the lumber from them comes into that station, while
the fourth was operated near Enfield, Hants County.

Mr. Dickie was brought up in the lumber business by his father,
Albert Dickie, and worked in different branches of the industry, be-
coming well acquainted with all the details. He is a graduate in Arts
of Dalhousie University, and soon after leaving college was given
complete charge of the Albert Dickie Lumber Company’s operation
at Stewiacke. This was in 1907, and the firm cut and shipped 10,000,-
COO feet. He stayed with this organization for two years and then
started out on his own hook and has been doing business successfully
ever since. He operated at Tangier, Halifax County, for a few years
and six years ago came back to Stewiacke, where he has been con-
ducting affairs ever since with gratifying results.

many vicissitudes. Beginning in a very small way only
intended to meet the urgent requirements of the builders,
it gradually developed into a leading industry of large com-
mercial importance and of much benefit to the whole community.
Building and sailing vessels furnished employment to a large portion
of the population, and “Bluenose” ships were seen on every sea. Some
shipbuilders acquired moderate fortunes; some built up a big busi-
ness embracing the ownership or management of a large fleet, and
appeared to be much richer than later conditions justified. Many men
made a comfortable living out of the industry, with something to the
good; while to others it gave partial employment of a profitable
character, or else afforded them many indirect opportunities of im-
proving their condition. Shipyards sprang up in-every cove and inlet
along the coast and the air was filled with the unmistakable sounds
peculiar to their active operations. Shipbuilding appeared to be an
indispensable part of life in Nova Scotia, and no one thought of the
province without it any more than without its farms, its fofests and
"its fisheries.

But the tramp steamer came and immediately demonstrated its
superiority to sailing vessels for long voyages. Steamers had been
in competition for many years, and had driven the sailing packet off
the seas, while they had secured almost a monopoly of carrying per-
ishable goods. They had an unquestionable advantage in handling
ireights requiring speedy transportation, but the freight had to be
brought to them, while the sailing ship could go anywhere for the

freight. The coming of the tramp steamer changed all that. It took
away from the sailing ship the most important advantage she held in
her struggle with steam. The steamer now goes wherever her sailing
competitor can go , and she has the added advantage of being able to
give greater despatch in the loading of cargo as well as in its trans-
portation. Consequently, when the tramp steamer came, “not single
files, but in battalions,” eager to secure freight, even at reduced prices,
« deadly blow was struck at wooden shipbuilding. In fact, it soon
began to appear that there had already been overproduction in all
sorts of vessels—wooden or otherwise—and in short that there were
more ships than could find employment. The natural and inevitable
results followed. Shipyards were closed all over the country and
freight rates dropped so low that it was no longer profitable to send
ships to sea. Shipowners disposed of their fleets at whatever they
could bring, or laid them up to await better times. Many were sold
to the Norwegians at ridiculously low figures, shortly to appear under
Scandinavian names, in competition with the small fleet of provincial
ships remaining in commission. Then ensued a period of depression.
Many skilled workmen left the province in search of employment,
while others turned their hands to new occupations. Conditions
gradually readjusted themselves, as they have a way of doing, and
although vessels were occasionally built in some places, the ship-
building era was almost forgotten in other parts of the country.

Then came the great war and the general upheaval and over-
throw of established conditions. Many merchant ships were de-
stroyed by mines and submarines. Many others were commandeered

arry d unitions, and it was soon discovered that instead
surplus oF Mapine there was now a decided scarcity. Freight
rose with marvellous rapidity and continued to rise, for the de-
was greater than the supply. One of the first results of the
erful change in conditions was the revival of wooden shipbuild-
Shipyards that had been silent and lifeless for years suddenly
‘oke to life and activity. One of the most wonderful things in con-
stion with a wonderful period was the rapidity with which ship-
lding was revived and developed. Many old shipyards still re-
ed, but that is about all that can be said, for in a large majority
es the work had to begin at the beginning.

striking proof of the capability and adaptability of Nova
s may be found in the fact that the most of the men employed
evival had never worked in a shipyard before; while of the
ome had reached the limit of the Psalmist, and: few of them
e much work as shipwrights in the last half-century. This
wuld seem to be a serious handicap, but it was one that energy and
fern nation could overcome; and the pioneers of the revival were
» turn off a limited number of staunch, well-built vessels in
sonable time and to start a boom that quickly grew to large
sions. That boom reached its culmination last year and pro-
ed a fleet of vessels that were not only large carriers, but could
sail. faster than modern racing machines and were not afraid of a
strong breeze.

During this period the demand for shipping was constantly in-
sing. Freight rates reached fabulous heights, and the men who
the courage and foresight to engage in
building, made money quickly and easily,
by selling their vessels at a large advance
upon the cost of construction, or by: running
them on their own account. The cost of con-
struction had been steadily advancing all the
time, but the demand was so much greater
than the supply that freights soared to a phe-
nomenal height, and, notwithstanding vastly
increased expenses, left a big margin of profit.
_ In the shipping business, as in all other
trades, there must be a limit, and that limit
seems to have been reached, although its ef-
fects may not yet be fully felt. The depre-
ciation in sterling exchange affects to some
sxtent the trade with Great Britain, and there
is a slight reduction in prices and a percept-
ible slackening in the demand. On the other
nd, the cost of ship stores shows no dim-
jon and seamen’s wages are higher than
y ever were before. A sudden drop in the
e of lumber in Europe would have a dis-
trous effect upon our shipping, for it would
ean a decided decline in freights and prob-
fewer charters, while the cost of keep-
vessels in commission would show no cor-
sponding reduction.

It is not surprising then that even the most
enterprising builders hesitate about venturing
further under present conditions. There is
still a good demand for coasting vessels of, say from two hundred to
three hundred tons carrying capacity, but the trouble is that it costs
too much to build them. With the present prices of labor and ma-
al the cost of building such vessels as are wanted would be greater
n the majority of the men who want them would be able or willing
ay. Builders know that there is a demand for vessels of a certain
3s, but they prefer to have contracts signed before commencing to
d such vessels.

Culmination Reached Last Year

The boom in wooden shipbuilding reached its culmination last
ar. The business has been fairly active this season in many parts
f the province, but the general output will show a marked falling
ast year at the port of Parrsboro twenty-six new vessels were
red, and two old vessels were rebuilt and entered anew upon
registry books. This year the total number registered will not
1 one dozen vessels of a similar size. The disparity between the
ut of the two seasons may not be so great at the other ports of
ry; but it will be found that there has been a decided falling off
r the province. The vessels launched this year have been of
- superior class, and will require no time allowance. Those
ered at Parrsboro are all tern schooners with the exception of
fine four-master built at this port, but owned in New Brunswick,
: boom is not ended, but it shows symptoms of coming to an end.
- Some small vessels, such as fishing craft, will be turned off, be-
they will be urgently needed, and, in some other cases, the
er built will be larger than it would have been otherwise, be-

cause the builders got out frames last spring and want to use them.
Of course, new and unexpected conditions may arise which will
give the seemingly moribund boom a new lease of life, but, accord-
ing to present indications, the end cannot be very distant. In some
cases the end has come already, and a general return to pre-war
conditions, with regard to the building of ships, now seems to be
inevitable.
The Passing of the Shipping Boom

Many causes have contributed to the passing of the shipping
boom, and among them labor must be held largely responsible. The
laborer is worthy of his hire and justly entitled to a fair share of all
that his labor will produce. But when he requires the whole pro-
duct of his labor to satisfy him a halt has to be called by those who
have the responsibility of making a market for the product. The
price of labor has become prohibitive in some lines. When the build-
ing boom began men, who wanted to build ships quickly, offered
big wages in order to secure all the labor possible. That was satis-
factory for a brief period, but, when ships showed a wonderful ad-
vance in value and freight rates soared to unheard of heights the
wages of shipwrights and all others who had anything to do with
ships soon attained to a corresponding elevation.

When the price of ships reached the summit and when freights
began to show a downward tendency, the wage-earners discovered
that the high cost of living rendered it absolutely necessary for them
to receive higher wages. And the worst of it, from the employer's
viewpoint, is that while the price of ships may fall and freights con-
tinue to drop, wages still have an upward
tendency with the avowed object of matching
the advanced cost of living. The same holds
true of the men who sail the ships as well
as of those who build and rig them. Seamen’s
wages are three times as large as they were
at the beginning of the war, and are at least
fifty per cent. higher than they were three
years ago when the sea-was infested with
mines and swarming with submarines

The Future of the Lumber Market

House-building on account of high prices,
has already practically come to a standstill. A
few men who have recently been making easy
money, have been spending it freely in enlarg-
ing and improving their residences, but, ex-.
cept in a few places where the housing prob-
lem has become acute, scarcely any new
houses are being built. This, of course, has
an influence upon the local demand for lum-
ber, and will not tend to increase prices. As
this is “Presidential year” in the United
States, no increase in the demand for house-
building lumber can be expected from that
country. In fact the chief demand at present
is for pulpwood, piling and hardwood lumber. |

To what extent will lumbering operations
be carried on next winter? This problem is
still unsolved, and the answer depends upon
various catises, some of which are still unsettled. Many oper-
ators have large stocks of last year’s lumber on hand and, if prices
abroad show a downward tendency it is probable that the output

will be smaller than usual. Very few operators will care to largely ~~

increase their stocks on a falling market. High wages may also
prove a determining factor, for they may absorb the whole margin ©
of profit. ‘

~ The workingmen of Nova Scotia have had more money during
the last two three. years than they ever had before. No one need
wonder that they are reluctant to accept a smaller wage than they
have been able to command, but unfortunately, they want higher
wages because it costs so much to live. The only way the high cost
of living can be reduced is by greater production, and that can never
be attained by demanding higher wages and working fewer hours.
Someone has to pay for every advance in wages by increased prices
for the necessaries of life. A good example of the way the “vicious
circle” works has been seen recently in connection with the railways.
The trainmen demanded more pay, as they had the same right to-
do that other workmen have. As a consequence of the concessions
made to them everyone, who travels by rail, has to pay higher prices.
Every merchant who gets goods by train has to pay more freight,
and, to get even, has to increase the prices of his goods. And now
we are told that the price of coal must advance to make up jor the
increased transportation charges. Practically every householder and
every traveller in the country has to pay the increased wages to the
trainmen and the trainmen in their turn, will have to pay higher
prices. And yet the workingmen seem to be unable to see that they

cannot lift themselves by their boot straps. But high wages
have decided compensations and chief among them is the fact
that they imply employment. ‘They undoubtedly increase the joy
of life to a large part of the population, and they indicate that the
country is prosperous and progressive, but. oi course, when employ-
ment ceases, wages, high or low, must come to an end.
Unfortunately there are indications that there will be consider-
able unemployment during the coming winter. Every shipyard that
is forced to close will make a big difference in the community where
it is established. The pay envelope will be missed in many homes,
and even those who have been wise enough to make provision for
such a contingency, will find themselves deprived of comforts and
enjoyments which they had almost come to regard as indispensable.

Good Volume of Business Expected

Prominent Western Lumberman Takes an Optimistic
View—Large Timber Deals are Pending
By C. S. Battle, Vancouver, B. C.

Conditions have changed
rapidly and Jumber and _ logs

reached a price not dreamed of a
few years ago, and one wonders
if the limit has yet been reached
in the scale of things.

In a conversation recently
with one of our largest shippers
who also does a brokerage busi-
ness, I learned that the price oa
export lumber from -the Pacihe
Coast has not declined but is very
firm and in active demand. An
increase in tonnage for the ship-
ment of lumber has had a ten-
“dency to stabilize prices but the
demand for bottoms is still in
excess of the supply. Ocean
rates, however, are gradually de-
clining, this to the betterment of
both the producer and consumer.
New steamship lines are being
established. with Vancouver as
headquarters and those in exist-
ence are adding boats to their fleets, which is encouraging news.

The market for lumber in the great wheat fields of the Canadian
Northwest has been slow and sluggish, caused by the uncertainty
of a lower price for lumber. I am informed that lumber for rail ship-
ment has reached bottom and from what I can learn I do not think
buyers throughout the Northwest would make a mistake like normal
or above, the mills on the coast will be taxed to capacity to take care
of the business, and should a car shortage occur at that time someone
will go short on lumber.

For similar reasons rail shipments to. the United States have
fallen off to some extent, but to this must be added the car shortage
which has been quite serious and full relief has not yet been given.

The local trade for lumber has been better than for several years.
It is reported that every house in the city has been rented and the
hotels and apartment.houses are full and overflowing, and the popu-
lation must be housed It stands to reason that the present demand
locally will not only be maintained but increased.

The pulp and paper industry, while in its infancy in this part of
the world, is getting to be quite a factor. To the five mills that have
been operating there must be added a sixth, viz., The Beaver Cove
Lumber & Pulp Company located at Beaver Cove on Vancouver
Island. This company owns a saw mill with a capacity of 100,000
feet daily, a 8ix-machine shingle mill, and a 40-ton pulp mill, which
will be increased within a short time to 60 tons. Prices paid for
pulp and paper are beyond the dreams of the extreme optimist of’a
few years ago. It is rumored that other pulp mills will be built on
the coast during the next year and I think this rumor to some extent
is well founded.

As you know, the shingle market fluctuates more readily than
lumber and the shingle men say that “It is either a feast or a famine.”
The extreme high prices of six months ago have been shattered but
at present prices the mills can run to a capacity on a fair margin
of profit.

The market on fir logs remains about the same, but cedar logs
have declined owing to the decline in shingles. Prices, however, are
ample to keep the logging industry

C. S. Battle, Vancouver, B. C.

going on a reasonable profit-
bearing basis. The prices of hemlock and larch owing to the large
demand by the pulp mills are nearly as high as fir.

In my last letter J informed you that there was an active demand
for small tracts of timber located handy for logging purposes and
also that large buyers from across the line had representatives in this
section seeking information and it was quite probable that this year
would see a more active demand for large tracts of standing timber.
This prediction to a large extent has been realized. Some big deals
have been made in timber and other larger deals are pending. Most
of this capital comes from the American side of the line, but it is
interesting to note now that capital in the Old Country is becoming
very much interested in B. C. timber from a standpoint of both
lumber and pulp.

Everything considered, I do not see anything alarming ii the
industry. To the contrary, old experienced lumbermen look jorwa rd
to from three to five years of good business, not only in volume but
in fair prices.

Heavy Exports of Lumber from Que Wi
Revival of Activity Owing to Drop in Freight Charges and Requirements of Woo.
Material from Canada—Rates Still Too High, Trade Declares a

The business activities at the port of Quebec in regard to the shipment of sawn lumber and timber to the United Kingdom
from the first days of July to the time of writing have been fairly good, and fully thirty per cent. in excess of the export trade in —

wood for the year 1919,

These conditions are due to the drop in steamship rates from 300 shillings per standard of deals to 200 shillings, which }

The lumber and timber export trade are, however, not satisfied.
They claim that the rates charged ‘by the ocean lines are still far too high, and are looking forward for a further decrease in a
the fall. The United Kingdom purchasing powers, like the Canadian exporters, are waiting for a substantial decrease in steam- a
ship freight charges, and in this connection, are holding back orders until such time as the rates in question will come near a -

Advices from overseas. admit the need of sawn lumber and timber for construction purposes, and at the same time point out an

Moreover, the investors are reluctant to put their money in a ven- —
ture that in the course of a few years will depreciate in value and greatly impair their profits. :

that the cost of materials has caused delay in construction.

ee

The advices admit the great need of wood material from Canada
for the steady demand for construction within the United Kingdom,
and reconstruction in France, Flanders and Belgium, but, at the same

time, contend that the ocean freight rates, together with the abnor-

mal rates of exchange, have been and still are a prohibitive barrier.
But notwithstanding these obvious difficulties, the Quebec lumber
and timber exporters are carrying on a business this season, dating
from the first of July to the present, considerably in excess of 1919,
and with good prospects for the rest of the season of navigation in
the St. Lawrence.

During the season of navigation in 1919 there were shipped from
the port of Quebec by all classes of steamers 61,852,743 feet B. M.
lumber; 15,253,189 feet of timber; 3,965,753 feet of spoolwood; 1,557
tons of pulp, and 3,754 cords of pulpwood. There is no direct way
to learn the quantities of wood that have been shipped up to the pre-
sent this season, inasmuch as there is no statistical department at the
Quebec Custom House. The correspondent of the “Canada Lumber-
man” called at the Customs House to obtain information for the pre-
sent letter, and was informed that the statistical branch of the Quebec
Customs with its officials had been removed and centralized in Ottawa
nearly two decades ago. There is now only one official left at the
Quebec Customs House to perform this special work, who sends in a
daily report to Ottawa, where it is necessary to seek all such desired
information, which is only one of many instances of Government dis-
crimination against the port of Quebec as regards shipping.

\

Increase is Thrity Per Cent.

The Harbor Commissioner’s office was next sought for the in-
formation, where it was learned that the totals were only made up for
the annual report in the month of December each year. It was stated,
however, by the official in charge, that fully thirty per cent. more of
sawn lumber and timber has been shipped this season to the United
Kingdom, from July 1st up to August 20th, than in 1919, and it was
expected that up to the end of the season the statistical returns would
show the heaviest export of wood from the port of Quebec for the
United Kingdom since pre-war days.

Besides the export of lumber and timber in the present, the de-
mand for spoolwood is very noticeable; likewise shipment of pulp and

_pulpwood by the Canadian Pacific ocean service liners. In the mean-

time, the yards at the mills in the Province of Quebec are well stocked
with timber awaiting a demand for shipment.

One of the crimes in the shipping trade of Canada is the discrim-
ination against the port of Quebec by the oligarchy of private interests,
a crime that could be easily remedied by the Federal Government by
the proper utilization and operation of the Transcontinental Railway
branch of the Canadian National Railways System. If the Govern-
ment, which controls the Merchant Marine Service of Canada, wou'd

only condescend in the interest of the Canadian shipping trade to

put on, say ten out of the thirty-seven vessels now in commission, to
carry grain and wood from the port of Quebec to the United Kingdom,
at fair cargo rates, the regular liners would be soon forced to a cheaps-
rate in all classes of shipment. The port of Quebec, with its Louise
docks and two million bushel grain elevator—empty all this season—
it without exception the best equipped with modern facilities in the

‘Dominion of Canada, and second to none in the continent of America,

and still it is ignored by the few interests that are now manipulating
the shipping trade of Canada. At the present time, Owing to a re-

The movement of lumber and pulp wood to the United States
market has shown an improvement of late, which is attributed to less
difficulty in the obtaining of American cars. It would appear from

Cooperage Industry in

— By J.C.

_‘ One hears and reads very little about the manufacture of coop-
erage stock, yet this is a large and important branch of the wood-
ing industry. A number of large plants, employing many hun-
ds of men, are equipped for the quantity production of staves,
yps and heading. The size of this branch of the woodworking in-
y can best be judged by the value of its product which in 1919
from $4,000,000 to $5,000,000.

One of the larger of our Canadian cooperage plants is that of
the Trenton Cooperage Mills, Limited, Trenton, Ont. This plant has
a daily output of 45,000 staves, 30,000 hoops, 3000 sets of heading
and 500 barrels. Figured in annual output, this would run approxi-
mately 5,000,000 to 6,000,000 staves, 3,000,000 hoops, 250,000 sets of
‘heading and 120,000 barrels. In addition about 500,000 ft. of lum-
“ber is cut and disposed of each year. Some idea of the amount of
‘stock produced may be gathered from the fact that if the 6,000,000
staves produced each year were to be placed end to end, they would
form a continuous line which would reach from Toronto to Van-
-couver, B.C. The total amount of timber worked up annually is in
the neighborhood of 2,500,000 ft. °

The wood used is largely elm. Smaller amounts of pine, pop-
Jar and basswood are worked into heading stock and also made into
sawn staves. It has been found that elm is admirably suited for
the manufacture of coiled hoops, in fact, to date, a satisfactory sub-
‘stitute for this wood has not been found, and makes a good cut or
“sliced stave, so that naturally it is preferred by most manufacturers
of cooperage stock. The clear, straight-grained material is made in-
to hoops and the balance worked up into staves. Some of the Ameri-
can plants are using red gum for cutting staves, and while this makes
a good stave, it is not at all suitable for hoops.

‘Hardwoods’ Bought in Open Market

The raw material in the shape of elm, pine, poplar and bass-
wood logs is purchased in the open market, largely from the farmers
and owners of small timber tracts, and in addition a fair proportion
comes from the company’s own holdings in North Hastings. About
‘six camps were operated last year in these limits. The mill at Tren-
ton enjoys an almost ideal location as it has trackage and deep water
frontage. This enables logs. to be brought in from the surrounding
county by both rail and water and also assists in the distribution of
the finished product. Trenton ‘iself is the hub of a network of rail-
“ways. The C. PR. G. T. R. and C. N. R. run through the town
and in addition a number of smaller local lines serve the adjoining
districts. i

*

_~ The logs are all dumped in the booms and fed to the log haul-
up. At the present time there are about 1,000,000 ft. of material in
‘the water and on the bank. At the head of the log haul is a power
drag saw. Here the clear stock for the hoops is picked out and bolt-
ed to length. This is sawn into 14 in. plank. The balance of the
logs are cut into planks and squares for staves. The sawyer must
- follow the grain closely for the staves must be sliced so as to show
the edgegrain. The pieces drop from the rotary saw on to live rolls
which carry them to a large trim-saw. This saw cuts the stock into
bolt lengths.

These bolts, together with the hoop plank, drop on to a chain
_ conveyor and are carried to the steaming and boiling vats. The
hoop stock is piled in large, open tanks and boiled, while the stave
material is placed in close retorts and subjected to steam for about

twelve hours. The temperature and dryness of the steam is varied
according to the condition of the wood. When the material is green
and full of sap and moisture, a dryer steam is used.

Economic Operation—Speed Production

The accompanying rough sketch will give an idea of how handling
is reduced to a minimum and production speeded up. The material
is carried past the trim saw on live rolls, then drops on the endless
chain conveyors which carry it to the tanks and steaming chambers.
The long hoop stock is laid out on a wide table and then piled into
the vats, while the stave material is picked right off the conveyor and
placed in the steaming retorts.

Each chamber holds about 214 cords of material. About 25
cords of stave wood constitutes a day’s cut for the slicer. This
amount would about fill 10 retorts. As 12 retorts are provided,
there is always one or more empty. Thus the men are filling an
empty chamber at one side while on the other side a number of men
are unloading another one. As the bolts are taken from the steam-

‘ ing chamber, they are piled on trucks and peeled. The bark comes

off very readily when the wood is hot. The loaded trucks are run
to the equalizing saws, which consist of two saws mounted on one
arbor, together with cradle, where the bolts are cut to the exact
length required. The saw operator piles the sized stock on a small
table, which is within reach of the operator of the stave cutter. In
this way excessive handling and lost motion has been to a large ex-
tent eliminated.

The staves are sliced on a large knife which works them to the
radius of a 20 in. circle. This radius may be varied to suit the re-
quirements of different sized barrels. With this machine one man
can cut about 45,000 staves in a day’s run, but to do this he does not
lose very much time. A helper working behind the stave slicer
sorts the staves as they are cut. The good ones are loaded on wag-
ons and taken to the drying shed, while any that will make shorter
staves, such as those required for kegs, are passed to a trim saw
where they are brought to length. The very narrow pieces and» the
cull material go to the furnace room. It is not all burned, however,
as the best is picked out and shipped to an American glass manufac-
turer who uses it for making crates. The stave cutter must be quick
and must use good judgment as he is required to turn his material so
that the staves will show an edge-grain. If cut on the flat there is
a great tendency to warp and in addition they flatten out instead of
retaining the curve.

Drying Staves in Big Yard

The cut staves are hauled away to the drying shed and yards
which embrace about 10 acres. Here they are piled so that the air
will circulate freely. If the circulation is not good, there is a ten-
dency for mildew to form. About 40 days is sufficient to remove all
surplus moisture, though the time varies depending largely on the
weather conditions. When dry, they are joined on foot jointers to
the bilge required by the coopers and then packed in bundles. If
the staves are required bevelled and crozed for the heading, they
are run through an automatic machine which trims, bevels and crozes
both ends. This is ustially done before they are joined to bilge.
The stock is now ready for assembling or shipping.

The hoop material follows a different route. After being re-

moved from the chain conveyor, the hoop stock is placed in large

Mills, Limited, Trenton, Ont.

tanks where it is boiled. It then goes to the slicer, which cuts it
into thin strips. These strips are made thin on one edge. To se-
cure this taper, the plank is tilted automatically at every’ second
cut. The hoop strips are run through a special sticker which dress-
es the two edges and rounds the outside corners. These machines
are designed so that two pieces may be run through at a time.
Ve The strips are now passed through an automatic machine which
trims them to length, points one end and bevels the other end for
the lap. They are next placed in tanks and boiled and then coiled
on special machines. The hoops are made up in coils or rolls con-~
taining 10 hoops. These coils are piled in the yard and air-dried.
Before being placed on the barrels, the hoops are again dampened.
' The boiling and subsequent air- drying tends to make the stock
tough, strong and pliable.

Handling the Heading Material

The heading material is bolted to short lengths, cut into % in.
pieces on a swing cradle saw and then either air or kiln-dried. The
dry material is taken to the heading mill where it is planed on one
side, both edges jointed and then cut to shape on a machine which,
if necessary, bevels both edges so as to fit the crozers in the barrel
staves. The heading is placed in a press and wired in bundles con-
taining 40 pieces or 20 sets.

In assembling, the staves are set up with temporary hoops known
as “tresses,” and placed over a barrel heater. The heat tends to
dry out any moisture which might remain in the stave and also sets
the stave in the shape of the bilge. If the staves used have not been
bevelled and crozed, a special machine trims, bevels and crozes the
whole end of the barrel. Permanent hoops are now forced on and
the bottoms put in place which completes the assembling operations.

Both steam and electric power are employed. At one time a
large motor was used to drive the rotary saw employed in break-
ing out the logs. It was found that this was not satisfactory as
there was not sufficient momentum or weight to maintain the speed

_ when a long, heavy cut was encountered. A steam engine was in-
stalled to replace this motor and an adequate supply of power in-
sured. The group drive is used in the motor installations. Thus, if
an accident occurs to the transmission of any one department, it
does not necessitate stopping the whole plant. One motor drives the

_ hoon-making group, another the stave-cutting machines and a third
the heading equipment, etc. Steam for the engine, vats and retorts
is generated in two boilerc. The fuel used is sawdust, bark from the
stave bolts and part of the cull staves. This leaves the trimmer
blocks and slabwood to be disposed of for domestic fuel. The sale
of this wood brings in a considerable amount of revenue. The saw-
dust and refuse from the saws is fed to one furnace by a chain con-
veyor. This material accumulates in sufficient quantities to keep
this furnace going as long as the plant is in operation.

lantic Sugar Refineries, Limited, Montreal, but was taken over in

Hull Wants New Pulp Plant

A move is on foot in Ottawa and Hull to ade '
build their new pulp and paper mill near Hull i
Chelsea, where the proposed power ‘oie will be situated.
tawa Industrial and Publicity Commission have the matter i
and will probably urge on the company the benefits to b
from locating across the river. wie

It has been estimated that if the company concurs |
an increase in the population of Hull of at least 5
estimate includes the families of the ni
men themselves. 4) ee

While this suggestion has been advanced it has also
out that the company will probably plan on using the
by the dam as a booming space for the pulp jogs and
therefore, will build their mill at the dam.

try. The pulp and paper situation Should be
idence to every thinking person. .
- The most important domestic issue in this
ountry in the very near future, will be the con-
‘vation of the forest wealth, for I am of the
inion, that when its rapid diminution is fully
realized, something like a wave of hysteria will go
over the whole country; this realization cannot
me too soon, to avoid what may be seriously re-
eatded as a national peril.
- For these reasons I have been asked to address
you on this subject. I will, therefore, endeayour
to give some idea of the forest resources of United
“States and Canada, and the havoc that has been
wrought in these magnificent possessions, and to_
‘show that it is our duty to support to the hilt, the
efforts being made to arouse public opinion to the
necessity of insisting upon a thoroughly construc-
tive policy for the preservation of what may be C. Price-Green,
till regarded as the finest stands of timber in the
possession of the commercial nations. How important this conser-
vation is to the country, can be judged by present consumption.
Today the United States is using one-half of the whole ‘world’s
‘supply of white paper, representing five and a half million cords of
wood yearly, for the equivalent of a pile of pulp, four feet wide and
cht feet high, 4,500 miles long, or greater than the distance across
the continent.
e The newspapers of the city of New York alone consume the
equivalent of over 9.000 spruce trees daily, and Chicago over 5,000.
One New York Sunday paper takes the spruce from over forty acres
for every issue.

a These figures are somewhat startling, but are a bagatelle com-
pared with the total consumption of forest product by the United
‘States.
= Tremendous Requirements in America.
__ This country consumes thirty billion feet a year, board measure.
For lumber, ties, firewood, and for all other purposes, it takes fully
one hundred billion feet a year to supply its requirements, or equal
to a pile of solid wood, four by four feet, stretching 98,500 miles or
thirty-three times across the continent, and four times around. the
Globe; translated into terms of cord wood, it would measure a very
-much greater distance. ;
___ These astounding facts are established by the data of the forestry
authorities and lead us to an examination of the conditions and the
_ sources of supply.
___ The forests of America have played a most important part in the
economic development of this continent, providing most of the pioneer
railways that opened up the country with their early traffic. Their
manufacture is one of the basic industries. In Canada its importance
is only exceeded by agriculture. In the United States its logging and
milling branches rank first in manufacturing. Wage earners to the
extent of two million people are dependent on its primary industries.
‘The farms, railways and mines only exceed it in the employment of
labor.
Reports show that the United States has a total forest area of
500 million acres, of which :—
-—___-100 million are so devastated as to be wholly unpro-
Srmerdiuctive.
,, 250 million have been cut over, and are more or les

- damaged by fire, but are producing new timber, usually in
small amounts. 3
150 million acres are in standing timber, with no annual
increase, and a ‘large part, though virgin forest, is of poor
quality and very inaccessible. 4

Timber Famine be Averted?

( onservation of Forest Wealth is Most Important Domestic Issue in America—Heavy
Consumption and Future Demands Ably Reviewed—The Outlook

By C. Price-Green, Toronto, Commissioner, Industrial and Resources Depart ment, Canadian National Railways*

and 100 million publicly-owned. Most of the latter
is in the national forests and it is shown that be-
cause it is of poor average quality and hard to
reach, it will be many years before it can play any
important part in the timber market.

Eighty per cent. of the standing merchantable
timber is privately owned and ninety-seven per
cent. of the annual cut comes from these forests.
The total of this standing timber represents some-
thing in excess of 2,500 billion feet, and in the
opinion of the authorities at the present rate of
cutting, this supply would be exhausted within 50
years, which as /t is pointed -out, “It is no long
time in the life of a nation.” In the meantime the
population of the country is increasing and the
consumption going up in a like ratio. Moreover,
the export trade has greater calls upon it, more
particularly since the war, and this will have a
further effect in reducing the life of the supply.
Regarding export, as Col. Henry S. Graves points
out, with the exception of Douglas fir, the species
that supply the bulk of the export are those which
are most depleted. Southern pine forms half of
the export trade and the available supply is only
222 billion feet; at the present annual cut of saw log timber of nearly
17 million feet board measure, there remains but about 14 years’ cut

of the original supplies.

Termination of Southern Pine Supplies.

An official statement of the Southern Pine Association regarding
that industry, states that they estimate 81.6% of the mills will cut
out their supply in five years, 95.3% in 10 years, and 99% in 15 years.
In this connection is pointed out that the cut of other soft woods,
such as Douglas fir, which is still abundant, will increase greatly,
directly the Southern yellow pine and the Eastern white pine are cut
out.

When one considers that in addition to the axe, the forest has
many other enemies, the foregoing has added significance. Fire
continues to take an enormous toll. Las year Montana had a fire,
that alone, wiped out a thousand million feet. Insects of various
kinds, fungus, the bud worm, and wind all take their toll. We are
told that United States are consuming about three times as much
wood as it is producing. It is very questionable whether there is even
this much annual growth. Wind alone accounts for much destruc-
tion. This will be realized when it is estimated that the loss of one
tree on every acre varying in size from 6 to 12 inches in diameter,
according to the productive conditions, under which the timber is
grown, is sufficient to wipe out the annual increase.

The plain fact, according to the best authorities, is that the
forests are steadily deteriorating under cutting and fire, and in the
meantime our resources are being mined with practically no effort
made for replacement after cutting. The situation is complicated, by
the fact that the bulk of the timber in the United States is privately
owned, also a large: proportion of the land which must grow the
timber of the future. While the owners do not apparently accept
the responsibility, the forest must be so handled in the public interest |
as to provide for renewal. :

In the Journal of Forestry, it is pointed out that industrial
Europe has a per capita consumption of 150 board feet, while the
United States has been using 350 per capita. In fifty years the lumber
cut must fall far below 30 billion, less than 150 feet per capita, accord-
ing to the estimated increase in population or less than Europe has
found adequate, and has compelled to augment domestic supplies
with increasing imports. It points out that Europe has become
adjusted to present consumption through the course of centuries, but
the United States cannot expect to adjust itself to a reduction to the
European level without “suffering tremendous punishment through
the dislocation of industries and the disturbance of the habits of life.”

Annual Cut Three Times the Growth.

Toronto, Ont.

The crux of the situation is dealt with in a significant statement
made by the committee, which reads in part as follows:
“The wood we are now using amounts to about 35 billion

7 4 Se eS he PS) fp ee eee ee — é ~”
r Sry een oe oie ie, °j eye

170

feet. The annual cut is nearly three times the annual growth.

Much of the new growth is of poor quality. The annual

growth of material, which will make sawn lumber is only

about nine billion feet, and some two billion is destroyed

by fire and other causes, so that our net annual increment is

seven billion feet, only one-fifth of the amount we cut.
~ ‘Let us briefly review the situation in Canada, which has about
half of the forest resources of the United States, or about 260 million

-acres of commercial forest. About half her forest areas have been
burnt over in the past 100 years, some areas several times. British
Columbia alone has lost over 600 million feet from fire.

At the present rate of consumption, about 14 billion feet a year,
we have lost by fire, the equivalent of 450 years’ supply. On the basis
of tax 50c per 1,000 feet b. m. the lowest in effect, it means that the
people from this cause have lost 1,000 million dollars. a

The United States cannot look to Canada for any alleviation of
her situation with respect to sawn lumber, in fact it has been esti-
mated that if Canada were called upon to supply the total demand
of the United States, the supply would not last much more than 15
years. .

It may be thought that the picture I have drawn is one of blue
ruin, but it is simply a presentation of facts that must be faced.

Let us for a moment review the situation affecting the pulp and

paper supply. Canada’s exports now amount annually to over 100 —

million dollars in value, and 80% is exported to the United States.
This year we shall supply in one form or another nearly one-half the
demand of the United States market.

It is a well known fact that the mills of the Eastern States have
very small resources behind them, some may have to close down
shortly for lack of wood. Even two and three-inch wood was util-
ized in some mills last year. The situation in Wisconsin and Michi-
gan is very acute, and, as stated by Col. Graves, it “Will only be a
matter of time when these mills will have to import their wood from
long distance or liquidate investments of great value in waterpower,
and plant, and move to new sources of supply.”

Movement of Paper Mills to North.

Many firms are establishing in Canada, and more will come. As
far as the paper supply is concerned, I am of the belief that with sane
management and careful cutting, Canada can supply the demand of
_ this Continent for much longer than has been estimated. It is true
tthat from year to year the operation is likely to be more costly, as
the mills move further north. At one time the mills were all tribu-
tary to the St. Lawrence and the Great Lakes. Some are already
operating on the waters which drain into Hudson Bay and more will
follow. Dr. C. D. Howe, an eminent Canadian authority, after point-
ing out that we may have to adapt our mills to the use of such sub-
stitutes for spruce as poplar and birch, goes on to show that there is
“another alternative before the pulp companies, when the supply of
12-inch spruce gives out, and that is to operate in the Hudson Bay
region, where the small undersized trees are found. Thousands of
square miles are covered with spruce from four to eight inches in
diameter, wood that has attained its growth, will never be any longer
and might as well be cut.” :

The future of the pulp and paper industry is of paramount in-
terest to the Canadian National Railways. The 22,000 miles of line
serve practically all the mills in Canada and the sources of supply
are all tributary to its system in Northern Ontario, Quebec, New
‘Brunswick and in British Columbia.

In estimating the quantity of pulpwood available in Quebec, it is
necessary to ignore the standard of cutting in Quebec based on a
minimum. diameter of 12 inches, as that of necessity will have to be
departed from, not many years hence. While there are no govern-
ment estimates, there is no doubt that there is a supply of at least
400 million cords in the two provinces or sufficient to supply the pre-
sent demand for upwards of 70 years. In British Columbia there is
sufficient pulpwood to last the present output of Canada, including
what we are now supplying the United States, for at least 65 years.
While some of the pulp and paper from this source will move by
water, the cost of manufacture and transport is bound to go higher all
the time. It may be stated that in this connection that on account of
the remoteness some of the sources in Ontario and Quebec, that they
will also cost much more than at present, but it will be evident from
the foregoing that Canada is in the premier position as far as the
sources. of this manufacture of white paper are concerned, and on
account of cheap waterpower can be more cheaply manufactured in
Canada. .

We therefore conclude that providing the spruce is properly lum-
bered, Canada’s supply on the basis of the present output, should
supply a continuous crop, as within the period covered by the esti-
mates given above, there is ample time for reforestation to provide
sufficient new growth.

There will be periods of scarcity, and in the meantime, the ques-

: : re hy ras eh
tion is whether the small newspaper is ‘doomed ok
inability to secure newsprint. The larger publishers’
sary money are securing themselves with contracts, and by «
limits and operating their own mills. The evolution in the o
of newspapers, which we now see evident in England and on t
continent, where large numbers of papers are coming under the sa
ownership, will be carried on to a great extent, and the control of
sources of supply may pass into the hands of the powerful few.

Such a result is very possible and not pleasant to contempl
when one realizes the power, political and otherwise, such a cor
nation would weild, and such a state of affairs would not be in
public interest. If this came about, it is very certain, that ¢
efforts would be made to find substitutes for wood pulp. Even at
present time much experimentation is going on to utilize other
ducts of the vegetable kingdom, that have the physical propert
felting. Many grasses, weeds and fibres have this property, at
very good paper has been made from wheat straw. You know
the fibre in a spruce log is pretty closely packed in, and econor
to handle. In the past the cost of collecting straw and similar
stitutes has been considered prohibitive in comparison, but at ore
prices this is not so much the case. “) ae

In the grain-growing districts of the Canadian West hun
of thousands of tons of straw are burned every year, and in
future I am of the opinion that this source of material will be
for the making of white paper. While this would supply but
part of the demand, it would be a move in the right direction 1
serve other sources. ce

Returning again to the question of the shortage of timber sup
plies on the continent generally. When the needs of the cas 2 are §
great and so apparent, one would think that it would not be ¢ fic
to arouse public opinion to the necessity of conservation, an
preservation of the forest. It will on the contrary take a great
apathy is hard to overcome, and in this case direct opposition is |
countered from some owners, and in high places. Recently a promi
ent university authority advocated-using up our supply of p'
soon as possible, and putting the mills and waterpowers
purposes. He said in effect: “What is the use in planting a
will not be of commercial value for 60 years,” and made all
the celebrated and very selfish remark, “What has posterity do
me?” Such an attitude to my mind is nothing short of criminal, mot
particularly when you consider the benefits this generation has derive
from this work; work that went far to save Europe in the late -
for had it not been for the supply of timber, the result of the refe
tation in France, we could not have carried on. As Prof Ssor 2 av’ z
has so eloquently put it, “that the timber from the forests of Franc
helped to save the situation in the late struggle is now a re }
history.” And he goes on to point out the fact that the t n
acres re-forested by the French at the end of the 18th centur
to-day valued at 100 million dollars. 7. oa

What Canada Supplies in Pulpwood.

To my mind the following important aspects of the case have
been overlooked:

The Dominion Government has put no embargo on the
export of pulpwood. Certain of the proyinces, however,
foreseeing the possibility of the exhaustion of their supplies
have for some time exercised their right under the British
North America Act, prescribing provincial rights to prohibit
the export of pulpwood from Crown lands.

That there is no regulation preventing the export of pulp-
‘wood from private lands and the U. S. has been receiving
for some years an average of a million cords a year from this
source or about 25% of their total requirements for pulp and
paper, in addition to 80% of Canada’s total export of about
100 million in value of pulp and paper.

That it would not be to the advantage of the publishers
of the United States if there was a modification of the present
regulations, because it is cheaper to. manufacture on the
ground in Canada where the power is adjacent to the source
of supply of the raw material. This is confirmed by your
own authorities; the Federal Trade Commission of the United
States being on record as having stated that the cost of corr-
verting pulpwood into paper is much less in Canada than in
the United States.

It is only fair to state that on account of the more pro-
fitable market abroad, United States manufacturers have been
exporting to the extent of 110,295 tons (1919). The argument
was nevertheless advanced, that the minimum by which your
production and your imports together, fell below actual re-
quirements, was 63,000 tons. It is obvious that the remedy
for this situation lies in their own hands.

That the restrictions do not decrease the amount of news-
print available for use in U. S., but simply affect the point of
manufacture and to use a piece of slang, Canada is going the
limit now, providing you with 55% of your total requirements.

There should be no more objections to the existing legis-
lation of provinces of Canada concerned, any more than
there could be on the part of Canada regarding the establish-
ment by the United States of New Forest Reserves where
the pulpwood might be cut for the use of the people of the
United States.

In Switzerland is an old law which compels every married couple
to plant six trees immediately after the wedding ceremony, and two
on the birth of every child. They are planted on commons and near
the roads and, being mostly fruit trees, are both useful and orna-
mental.

Bathurst is Busy Shipping Lumber

One bright spot on the map of New Brunswick just now is
Bathurst, where four large vessels are in port and three are loaded.
Ten other vessels are due to arrive in Bathurst harbor to load within
the next three weeks. In addition to this list at least eight vessels
will load at Bathurst before navigation closes. One of the craft at
Bathurst is the large four-masted schooner James W. Howard, of
Boston. She is loading a cargo of boards for Buenos Aires. The
Jathurst Lumber Company has chartered a large number of vessels,
including the steamships Berela, for Dublin; Canadian Raider, for
Manchester; Canadian Rancher, for Garston Dock; Tento, for Gar-
ston Dock; Pensacola, for Great Britain. Others chartered are the
schooners Max Horton, for Havana; Samuel W. Hatheway, for
Havana; Chautauqua, for Havana; Anna Laura, for Havana; Mau-
rice R. Thurlow, for Havana; W. H. Woodin, Buenos Aires; Hunt-
ley, Havana; barque Ba, for Buenos Aires, and the ship Marpesia, for
Buenos Aires.

The Danish barquentine Dagny loaded a cargo of lumber this
month at Chatham, but was delayed in getting away by the desertion
of several of her crew. ;

Many cargoes of pulp wood are being shipped from 3aie de
Chaleur ports for Portland (Me.) but in most lumber mill ports the
lumber is being piled up awaiting an improved demand across the
water. So much is piled in many of the Miramichi yards that extra
room has had to be made outside.

Will Divide Loss on Lumber Contracts

Many Canadian lumber companies who supplied lumber to Great
Britain during and after the war on contracts made out in pounds,
shillings and pence before exchange broke, will be pleased to learn
that the British Government has at length agreed not to hold by the
strict’letter of the contracts, and it will divide the loss where it is
proved.

As most of the sales were made, however, while exchange was
high, about $4.80 to the pound, and none below $4.50 to the pound, the
loss will not be nearly so much as at first anticipated—$200,000 will
cover the whole amount.

Company Acquires Large Logging Area

Faced with the necessity of closing down their local mill if unable
to run it more economically, the Canadian Puget Sound Lumber and
Timber Co., in an attempt to cut expenses, put through one of the
biggest timber deals in many years, when they acquired the best stand
of timber on the Cowichan Lake Road, from the Victoria Lumber and
Manufacturing Co., Chemainus, B. C. This area consists of 991 acres.

‘Lhe company has found it impossible to compete for logs in the
open market and operate the mill at a profit, and it will make no fur-
ther efforts in that direction. It is estimated that a saving of $6 on
every thousand feet will be made possible by the acquisition of these
logging areas.

Pulp and Paper Possibilities of British Cnet q

By William Turnbull, British Columbia Lumber Commissioner, Victoria

Little does that smartly turned-out youth turning the
corner of Yonge and Adelaide streets in Toronto imagine
that his brilliant-hued knitted “silk” neckwear formerly grac-
ed a mountain slope in British Columbia; that his “silk”
socks formerly clothed foot-hills instead of feet, and that his
“silk” underwear is probably composed of British Columbia
spruce, hemlock or balsam. Nor does he dream that at no
distant date his neatly-cut “tweed” suit may have as lofty

an origin. The Chinese gentleman who, centuries ago, first .

stretched silk fibre over bamboo poles had not the faintest
idea of what he had started.

And the genial editor of the “Canada Lumberman” asks
for some notes on the “Pulp and Paper Possibilities of Bri-
tish Columbia.” What a temptation to a British Columbian!

Prophecy is easy—and safe—if one doesn’t live too long
or take too short views, and prophecy regarding the future
of the pulp and paper industry i in British Columbia is the easi-
est and safest kind there is.

The Markets are World Wide

The world is paper hungry, as well as lumber hungry, and
the number and variety of articles made from pulp and paper
is growing rapidly. Binder-twine, onion sacks, baby-buggies
and furniture made of paper are in daily use, without stirring
the curiosity or imagination of the user.

The demand for newsprint from every civilized corner of
the world appears to be insatiable. The public appetite for
bulky newspapers has developed to tremendous proportions,
and seems to be most voracious on Sunday mornings, when
huge quantities of white, yellow and pink newsprint are de-
voured without any apparent signs of indigestion.

The natural markets for British Columbia pulp and paper
are Western Canada, Western States, Japan, China, Aus-
tralia, New Zealand, South America, South Africa and India,
but, in the abnormal present day markets, enquiries are com-
ing from the Eastern States and* Europe, particularly from
Roumania, Bulgaria and Italy.

British Columbia mills manufactured last year 123,607
tons of newsprint and 7,202 tons of wrapping paper, as against
112,206 tons of newsprint and 8,277 tons of wrapping in 1918,
while 9,473 tons of sulphate pulp was manufactured, as
against 12,188 tons in 1918. In 1913, British Columbia’s paper
output was only 50,000 tons.

With two paper and four pulp plants, the industry in Bri-
tish Columbia is firmly established though still in its infancy.
The infant is remarkably healthy ; is situated in an ideal cli-
mate for rapid growth, and is surrounded by every natural
advantage.

The Pulpwood Supply is Abundant

Without taking into consideration cedar, Douglas fir and
the minor species, there are, according to the report of the
Commission of Conservation, 180 billion feet of timber in
British Columbia suitable for the manufacture of pulp. This
estimate of spruce, western hemlock, balsam and some of the
pines is based upon what is considered merchantable saw-
timber, and does not include inaccessible material, nor tim-
ber which is now considered too small for saw logs, but which
may be utilized in the manufacture of pulp.

Assuming that probably one-third of the above quantity
may be used in the manufacture of lumber, there would still
remain 120 billion feet of timber or about 257 million cords
(on the coast basis of 700 board feet per cord) suitable for

ulp.

: This estimate, however, covers only accessible merchant-
able timber and does not include smaller sized timber, which
is quite suitable for pulp. How much of this smaller growth
there is we do not know, but the quantity must be very large.
One of the largest logging companies on the coast is to-day
logging pulp wood on its logged-off lands and is taking great
quantities of hemlock down to a four-inch top. Much of the
small timber brought down by high-lead logging is thus be-
ing disposed of instead of being left in the woods.

The above estimate also does not take into account some __
97,000 square miles of forest land, most of which is covered —
by young growth, which is working night and day from spring ©
to fall to attain pulpwood size. Generally speaking, our know-
ledge of rate of growth throughout British Columbia is slight,
but actual investigation in the East has shown an annual
increase in Douglas fir of 1000 board feet per acre. In the
waim, moist Coact climate growth is naturally more rapid =
than in the interior. Estimating the growth of this young ©
forest at the very low figure of 100 board feet per acre gives. e
an annual increment of six billion board feet. q

Small Timber May Prove Attractive A, AS,

It is also not unlikely that much of the timber in this
Province which has been considered inaccessible by tapi
ger, on account of the small return obtained from low
material, may prove attractive from a pulp standpoint. a

Supplies of pulpwood in the Eastern States and in aie
ern Canada are running low and pulp interests in the East
are naturally looking around for new sources of supply. The
East is looking towards British Columbia, and it is lockaae:
in the right direction.

Enough has been said to show that British Columbia has
a huge supply of pulpwood ready and getting ready for all
logger and pulp and paper manufacturer. It has ome
habit to speak of British Columbia’s timber supply as inex.
haustible. This is a very wide term, which, no doubt, was
at one time applied to the timber stands of Quebec, Ontario, —
Michigan, Wisconsin and the Southern States.

British Columbia has ample timber to warrant the estab-
lishment of many more pulp plants than are in operation there
to-day. The duration of its supply of pulpwood depends upon
the cutting methods employed and upon the foresight of the
operator and the provincial foresters. If the forests are pro-
tected from fire, and are scientifically cropped, as in Sweden,
leaving the necessary seed trees, and reproduction is, if neces-
sary, assisted by artificial reforestation in time to assure an-
other crop in due course, a perpetual supply of pulpwood will
be forthcoming when needed. By taking proper measures the
supply can be rendered really inexhaustible, but it is unsafe, —
even with the huge natural supply possessed by British Col-
umbia, to start out with the inexhaustible idea and to “mine”
timber regardless of the future.

Numerous Ideal Locations Prevail.

The prospective Coast pulp manufacturer requires a mill
site adjacent to a water power capable of economical develop-
ment and on a natural harbor capable of accommodating ocean-
going vessels.

The Commission of Conservation report (“Water Powers
of British Columbia,” published by Commission of Conserva-
tion, Ottawa), on the water-powers of British Columbia gives
all available data regarding some 644 water-powers, many of
which are suitably situated for pulp mill purposes, while the
coast line of the province provides an ample a of natural
harbors.

There are many large areas of pulpwood in the southern |
interior of the province, ¢ everal of which have been looked over
recently with a view to early development. The coast pos-
sesses some advantages over the southern interior, particularly .*
in the production of newsprint, but the woods of the latter —
are well suited to the production of sulphate pulp for kraft —
paper and of ground wood for such articles as wall board. .

With closer utilization of wood coming rapidly, the
should not be far distant when logging and mill waste will be _
manufactured into a variety of articles. The waste from high-
lead logging is enormous and the pulp mill will some ie be
kept busy eating up and digesting that waste.

The establishment of a pulp plant means the investment |
of a large amount of capital, and the investment of millions | a
naturally requires close investigation. British Columbia has __
the timber, the water-power, and the mill sites and the pulp
manufacturer is invited to come and see them at first hand.

Many things have transpired of late to focus world-wide
' attention upon Canada’s pulpwood resources, which to-day
} are a subject of keen interest on three continents and in a
} score of different countries.

First of all came a universal shortage in the world’s
~ supply of paper, not of newsprint alone, about which the
public is more or less informed, but of wrapping, book and
{| writing and other varieties, most of which are derived from
4 the same raw materials. The paper shortage was a legacy
of the war, due in part to the stationary condition of the
industry during the war period, aggravated by an unexpect-
- ed and unprecedented demand with the coming of peace, and
rendered more acute by the sudden awakeng in the United
I States to the fact that pulpwood in the States, east of the
Rocky Mountains, was no longer sufficient to supply the pap-
er mills in the territory, to say nothing of providing the raw
_ materials for additional mills.

Paper manufacturers in the United Kingdom who, prior to the
war, had derived the greater part of their pulp supplies from Ger-
‘many, Sweden, Norway and Finland, and who had looked forward
to an immediate resumption of their trade with these countries with
‘the incoming of peace, found their expectations realized only to a
‘very limited degree, owing to the excessive costs and the shortage
of raw materials. They began at once to turn their attention to
Canada.
_ Across the Pacific, Australia, New Zealand and Japan, once
more or less indifferent to Canada’s possibilities as a source of
paper and paper-making materials, suddenly evinced a lively in-
terest in the subject.

5. In the United States, where approximately 80 per cent. of all
the pulpwood cut in Canada is absorbed, in the form either of logs
or pulp or paper, an agitation was started to bring about Govern-
“mental pressure to secure the removal of certain restrictions im-
posed upon the use of pulpwood cut from the Crown lands of On-
tario, Quebec and New Brunswick. These restrictions, adopted for
the purpose of conserving the supply and of encouraging home in-
dustry, require that all such wood shall be manufactured into pulp
or paper in Canada. The object aimed at.in the States is to secure
‘the unrestricted right to exploit our Crown lands for American
manufacturers. The United States Congress took up the matter
and adopted, practically unanimously, the so-called Underwood reso-
“jution, providing for the appointment of a Commission to visit Can-
ada with a view of obtaining a lifting of the restrictions, or, failing
in os doing, to recommend some means of “retaliation” likely to
bring about the desired result. Only the with-
holding of the president’s approval kept this action
from becoming effective. Agitation for the re-
enactment of the legislation by the next Congress
is now being carried on.

British paper manufacturers, greatly concerned
‘over the increasing scarcity of pulpwood and its
ever-rising value, despatched representatives to
~€anada to look into the situation here. Among
others who came was Mr. G. R. Hall-Caine, former
deputy paper controller of Gteat Britain and him-
‘ self interested in the dual interests of paper-making
and publishing. Mr. Hall-Caine made a very thor-
- ough investigation, spending some three months in
Canada and the United States. On his return to
_ England he reported that the situation calls for in-
creased manufacturing capacity of mechanical pulp,
and said that the point to be decided by capitalists
‘in Great Britain was whether other countries should
e allowed to monopolize Canada’s pulpwood re-
urces or whether Brit'sh capital should put down
chanical pulp mills in Canada to ensure their
supply. (Since Mr. Hall Caine made his re-
and probably as one of its consequences, the

Imperial Paper Mills, a £1,000,000 British corporation, has joined
with Lord Rothermere and companies with which he is associated
in the purchase for $3,000,000 of the Gulf Pulp & Paper Company,
Limited, of Clarke City, Que., with its pulp mills and timber limits,
comprising 625,000 acres and an annual woodpulp output of 25,000
tons, while several similar developments based on the investment
of British capital in Canadian pulpwood limits are reported to be
in progress or practically concluded).

Investigating Canada’s Ample Assets

Sweden, Canada’s principal competitor in the production of pulp,
sent a delegation of its leading pulp and paper manufacturers to
this country for similar purposes of investigation.

Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Italy, Brazil and several other
countries, have, within the past twelve months, all had emissaries
in this country for the express purpose ur enquiring into the extent
of our pulpwood resources, and of discovering to what degree, if any,
their own countries can depend upon Canada for ‘a share in the dis-
tribution of its pulpwood and the products derived therefrom.

The Imperial Press Conference, bringing together newspaper
publishers from the United Kingdom, Australia, India, South Africa,
the West Indies, New Zealand, Ceylon, Singapore, Malta, Egypt, New-
foundland and, of course, Canada, and other parts of the British Em-
pire, devoted a large part of its time and attention to the question of
pulp and paper and to the possibility of drawing upon the Dominion
for the greater part of the Empire’s requirements of these commodi-
ties.

In view of the almost universal interest thus displayed in the
subject of Canada’s pulpwood resources, it follows, quite logically,

that the provinces themselves are beginning to take fresh stock of

their forest wealth. They are awakening to the fact that they are
obtaining neither the full benefit they might obtain at present for
the use of their heritage, nor taking the steps necessary to ensure
the permanency of the revenue they now derive therefrom.

Coincidentally, with the world-wide interest suddenly displayed
in Canada as a pulp and paper producing country, the Dominion it-
self has been aroused to the fact that an industry which, though but
the growth of a comparatively few years, represents a capital invest-
ment of three hundred million dollars, which contributes more than
one hundred million dollars to Canada’s external trade and that, in
markets where they accomplish the greatest national service, whose
products are approaching an annual valuation of one hundred and
fifty million dollars, is entitled to consideration if not, indeed, to
encouragement and support.

What is the Extent—How Long?

The question naturally arises, what is the extent of Canada’s
pulpwood resources and how long are they calculated to last ?

Probably no Canadian topic of discussion was ever met with
such a diversity of views, and none has ever given
rise to such a mass of fallacious reckonings or mis-
chevious misinformation. Just to
single instance, because it is official and because
it is typical of the rest: In 1903—seventeen years
ago—Paul Blouin,’ superintendent of forests, in
Quebec, estimated that the pulpwood forests in
that province contained 200,000,000 cords of wood.
(That was, of course, before the annexation of Un-
gava to Quebec). To exhaust this supply, he esti-
mated, it would require 4000 years, without taking
into account the immature timber, or 20,000 years
if all the growing timber were taken into account.
On this calculation, the premier of the time—the
Hon. S. N. Parent—based the forest policy of his
Government. To-day, it is known, that Quebec’s
Crown timber lands are incapable of sustaining
their present annual harvest for a period of more
than fifty years, even if that long, unless augment-
ed by scientific reforestation. Among the measures
proposed by the present Government to ensure the'r
perpetuity are vigorous regulations establishin,
maximum annual cut to prevent undue depletion
and a minimum as a check and preventative ol

revenue. These regulations are to be backed up by the imposition
of increased stumpage dues and a - forward policy of re-

that the provincial forestry department is now planting some three
million trees annually,

Canadian Provinces are Wakening Up

Recent investigations in Giitario, revéaling the manner in which
some of the pulpwood stands in that province have been “mined”
are almost certain to lead to some drastic changes in the forestry
regulations of that province. ;

New Brunswick and Nova Scotia are also awakening to a know-
ledge of the value of their pulpwood resources and of their potent!
alities as factors in the world’s commerce.

In “A Handbook of the Canadian Pulp & Paper Industry,” re-
cently issued by the Canadian Pulp & Paper Association, an attempt
is made to present, from official sources, some accurate information
as to the extent and probable durability of Canada’s pulpwood re-
sources. .

Taking spruce, hemlock, balsam fir, jack pine, tamarack, poplar
and basswood as representing the: coniferous species adaptable to
making pulp (in 1918 spruce contributed 74.12 per cent; balsam fir,
20.23 per cent.; hemlock, 4.03 per cent.; jack pine, 1.17 per cent.;
poplar, .45 per cent.,“and other species an inappreciable percentage
of woods used in the production of pulp in Canada), it is stated*that
the Commission of Conservation estimates a total of 901,000,000 cords
of coniferous pulpwood spe-
cies on Canada’s 350,000
square miles of forests.

Western Canada is said to
possess a total of 340,000,-
000 cords of spruce, western
hemlock and balsam, of
which 255,000,000 cords are
in British Columbia and’85,'
000,000 cords in the Prairie
Provinces. '

Eastern Canada, including
Quebec, New _ Brunswick,
Ontario and Nova Scotia are
estimated to possess 306,-

available spruce and balsam,
after making deductions for
wood withheld from cutting
by provincial regulations

The Ravages of the Budworm

The areas of forest in Eastern Canada which are reasonably*=

accessible to existing means of transportation, have, it is explained, ~
to a very considerable extent, been culled over, or logged out, dur-
ing the period since the earliest settlement of the country. The or-
iginal stand has thus, by cutting and by fire, been reduced’to a very”
material extent. Probably not less than one-fourth of,.the balsam
in Quebec and one-third of the balsam in New Brunswick has b
destroyed by the budworm during the past ten years.
While none of the provinces has what. may be termed a per-
fected forestry system, all are working to that end. Adherence to:

a rigid system of diameter limit regulation, such as is for the msot “sowned lan

part in effect on Crown lands in Quebec and New Brunswick, does
not ‘by any means constitute really advanced forestry practice. At
the present time, merely a start has been made in gathering the spe-
cific knowledge necessary for carrying an scientific forestry, through
research by the provincial Forest Services of Quebec, New Bruns-
wick and Ontario, the Dominion Forestry Branch, the Laurentide
Company, the Riordon Pulp and Paper Company, thé Bathurst
Lumber Company, the Abitibi Power and Paper Company, the
Spanish River Pulp and Paper Company, and the Commission of
Conservation of Canada. eae '

Consequently there is a very considerable amount of this timbs

cut because of this restriction. In the second place there is alway
a shrinkage between the woods and the mill, due to waste in la
ging, decay or windfall before the next cut, logs stranded along th
shores of lakes’and streams, and logs lost by sinkage-during the
drive. To get at the amount of timber which may actually be avai
able at the mill, it may conservatively be estimated that a dedue-
tion of at least one-third must be made, due to these several item
of shrinkage. If such a deduction be made, it would leave o
approximately 100 million cords on licensed Crown lands, 30 millie
really avaiJable spruce and balsam, cords on unlicensed Crown
and 25 million cords on privately-owned lands, or a total of 1
million cords. on

According to the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, the 1918 ¢
of spruce and balsam in Quebec for pulpwood and lumber was ned
ly 3 million cords. Of this amount 885,772 cords were expor
the United States and may be credited to lands in private ownership
Also a considerable volume of the wood from privately-owned ands

was manufactured in Canada. S

Fifty-Two Years Supply in Quebec

Taking the situation as a whole, with 155 million cords of actu-
ally available spruce and balsam, on the basis of delivery at the mill,
and a cut in 1918 of around 3 million cords, it is estimated that OQue-
bec has, at the present time, thé equivalent of 52 years’ supply.
Beyond this fifty-two years’ supply of available pulpwood

at the 1918 rate of cutting, dependence must necessarily
be placed upon annual

’ growth for the continuance
of operations. As a matter
of fact the rate of cutting
is increasing steadily, due to
new developments and the
extension of existing plants.
In addition to the accelerat-
ed rate of cutting it must be
borne in mind that some
fires will inevitably occur,
and that there will be seri-
ous losses from insects and
decay. Balsam is particu
larly susceptitle to attacks
by the budworm and_ to in-
jury by butt-rot and heart-
rot. It is estimated, for ex
ample, that around 25 per
cent. of the balsam in Que-
bec has been destroyed by
the budworm in recent years,
as already stated. Based on
a careful calculation and
taking into account all of
the numerous factors it is
estimated that the pulpwood
forests of Quebec, under
proper management and direction, may reasonably be expected to
yield an annual growth of three million cords on licensed Crown
lands, one million cords on unlicensed Crown lands and one million
cords on privately-owned lands, or a total annual yield of five mil-
lion cords a year of accessible and available spruce and balsam, as
an offset to the three million cords now being cut annually. It will
be Seen thatson this basis, the annual net increment would be two.

The 1918 cut of spruce and balsam in Ontario for pulpwood
lumber was,.it is stated, as nearly as can be determined from
Census Bureau of statistics, slightly over 1,116,000 cords. This
cludes quantities consumed or produced in the province, as well
exports. Additional pulp and paper plants are being establi
and extensions to some of the existing plants are under way, so t
there is every reason to expect that very shortly the cutting
spruce and balsam will be at the rate of 1.5 million cords per year

Process of Crowding Out the Forest

The exports of pulpwood from Ontario ports to the United
> were, in 1915, 202,239 cords; in 1916, 149,745 cords; in 1917,
161,652 cords; and 1918, 199,421 cords, the great bulk of which was
spruce and balsam. ms large proportion of this is no doubt from set-
ent lands in process of clearing. Not all this material was cut
ntario, the Customs returns showing only point of exit from
anada. The amount cut in Quebec and exported through Ontario
orts can not be determined from any records available. "This point
plies of course to New Brunswick as well.

_A further point with reference to future growth is that large
of pulwood lands in Northern Ontario, as well as in Northern
are being cleared up for settlement, and will never again
op of pulpwood timber. This process of crowding out
will increase in future years. Also, a large area of timber
itral and Southern Ontario is not a material factor in the
ulpwood, other species predominating, such as white
, hemlock and the various hardwoods.

_ The statement gives the extent of the Crown lands area of New
runswick at approximately 7,500,000 acres, of which 2,000,000 acres
consist of barren land, leaving 5,500,000 in forest. The area of Crown
id actually under license to cut:timber during 1919 was 6,332,000
eres. This includes a considerable area of water surface and bar-
rens, so that it is concluded that the area of forest land is around 5,-
500,000 acres.

1 te is estimated that this 5.5 million acres of Crown lands may
contain 20 million cords of spruce and balsam..In this connection,
“must be remembered that there are considerable areas of hard-
wood lands containing little or no spruce and balsam; also that the
“crown timber lands have been logged over to a greater or less ex-
t from the period of early settlement and that fires have caused
avy damage to the stand.

Of settlement lands containing timber it is estimated that there
may be within the province 2,500,000 acres. These lands are acces-
s fle to transportation and have, for the most part, been heavily cut
over for many years past. The amount of spruce and balsam on
these lands may be approximated at 4 million cords.

_ There are approximately 4,500,000 acres of privately-owned tim-
ber lands, mostly held by commercial concerns, These lands may
co tain 12 million cords of spruce and balsam.

Available Resources of New Brunswick

Based on these calculations New Brunswick is credited with
ly available spruce and balsam, 14 million cords on licensed Crown
ds, 3 million cords on settlement lands, 9 million cords on pri-
tely owned lands, or a total of 26 million ‘cords.
Thus, it is stated, there are within the province of New Bruns-
k approximately 12, 500,000 acres. of lands more or less covered
forest, and containing probably around 36 million cords of spruce
balsam. This is an average stand of 2.9 cords per acre for the
area, and is believed to be within the bounds of reason.
The 1917 cut of spruce and balsam for lumber and pulpwood
as approximately 1,250,000 cords, as nearly as can be determined
he Census Bureau statistics. In 1918, it was decreased to 987,000
is At the 1917 rate of cutting, the existing supplies of timber
d be sufficient for less than 30 years. At the decreased rate pre-
g in 1918, there would be supplies for 36 years, assuming :that
entire estimate will be available at the mill. If, however, deduc-
be made, as in the case of Ontario and Quebec, for Crown tim-
ber over the diameter limit prescribed, for waste in logging, loss in
eam _ driving, and merchantable material left uncut that will be
G oyed by insects, decay and windfall before another cut, there are
~ 26,000,000 cords of really available spruce and balsam on the
is of scale at the mill. This, at the 1917 rate of cutting would re-
sent but 21 years’ supply, which would be Sea god to’ 26 years

1920 drive of pulpwood in the basin of the Donnacona Paper Company’s
mill at Donnacona, Que. The drive is estimated to contain 100,000
cords of wood and to have a marketable value of $2,000,000

Of the 987,718 cords of spruce and balsam manufactured within
and exported from New Brunswick in 1918, 374,040 cords were pulp-
wood, of which 263,907 cords were exported to the United States.
Thus, 70 per cent. of the pulpwood of New Brunswick is exported in
the raw form for manufacture in United States mills, as contrasted
with 20 per cent. from Ontario and 45 per cent. from Quebec. In 1917
the percentages of pulpwood export were: New Brunswick 61, On-
tario 13.6, and Quebec 37. The pulpwood exported is of course to be
credited to privately-owned lands, in addition to an unknown amount
manufactured within the province.

If an average rate of volume production of 2 per cent. be applied
to the total estimated stand of 36 million cords, the annual volume
increment would thus be 720,000 cords, which is less than three-
quarters of the 1918 cut, and only 57% of the 1917 cut. Thus, cutting
of spruce and balsam in ‘the province of New Brunswick is progressing _
at a rate much more rapidly than the estimated annual growth.

The amount of spruce and balsam in Nova Scotia is estimated
at 25,000,000 cords. The 1917 cut of spruce and balsam within the
province, for lumber and pulpwood, was equivalent to 313,812 cords.
In 1918, this had dropped to 206,846 cords. Thus, at the 1917 rate of
cutting the supplies of spruce and balsam in Nova Scotia would be
equivalent to 80 years’ supply. The forest on the mainland has been
heavily cut over since the early settlement of the country, and enor-
mous damage has been caused by fire. On Cape Bréton Island, how-
ever, there are large quantities of spruce and balsam, particularly
the latter, which it has not yet been found commercially feasible to
operate. This fact accounts for the large apparent supply of pulp-
wood species in Nova Scotia.

Notwithstanding the fact. that practically alll its forests are in
private ownership, so that there is no legal restriction upon the export
of raw pulpwood, such exports are extremely small.

A report issued by the Canadian Government in 1916 states:
“The quantity of.pulpwood manufactured into pulp in Canada has
been steadily gaining on the amount of wood exported to other coun-
tries in the unmanufactured state. In 1908, 482,777°cords were manu-
factured into pulp in Canada, and 794,896 cords were exported in the
raw stat® In 1912 the figures were: Manufactured in Canada, 866,-
042 ; exported i in the raw state, 980,868. The dividing line was crossed
in the year. 1913,. simce which .time the quantity “manufactured in
Canada has exceeded that exported. In 1915, 1,405,836 cords were
manufactured in Canada and 949,714 were exported in the raw state.
In 1916, these figures had risen to: manufactured in Canada, 1,764,912
cords; exported i in the raw state, 1,068,207 cords, showing that 696, 705
cords more were manufactured into pulp in Canada than were exported
in the raw state to be manufactured abroad.”

Exports of pulpwood have averaged over one million cords a year
for the past twelve years. The total consumption, including exports,
is expected this year to reach the enormous quantity of well over
four million cords and is likely to increase at a much more rapid rate
of progress during the next five years. There is, therefore, every
reason to anticipate that Canada, despite its enormous original forest
wealth, is in danger, so far as the Eastern provinces are concerned, of
finding itself in “the same predicament that the Eastern states are
now in unless immediate steps are taken by the peg provii-
cial governments to ensure future supplies of pulpwood by the inaug-
uration of prompt and adequate Sale a of reforestation.

The social and recreational features incident to the annual out-
ing of the Retail Lumber Dealers Association of Ontario were fully
set forth in the last issue of the ‘Canada Lumberman,” and the poten-
tialities, fertility, progressiveness and expansion of northern On-
tario were given considerable attention. Needless to say, the eyes
of the visitors were opened widely in regard to what they saw on
every side. The knowledge of the lumber merchants of old Ontario
has been extended and, to-day when the North is referred to, every-
one of those, who participated in the trip, will have a good word
to say regarding that portion of the province which heretofore they
knew little of; save in a lumbering sense.

Of late years the North has been coming to the front as a great
and ‘rich mining territory. In years previous to the Cobalt, Porcu-
pine, Timmins and other booms, the lumbering industry was well
represented. To-day the saw mills are as up-to-date and as repre-
sentative in character as are to be found in any other portion of the
Dominion. They are enjoying a busy season, and are cutting splen-
did timber which commanded the admiration of the touring dispens-
ers of wood products. It was stated by a leading speaker that, during
the past 25 years, over one billion feet of lumber had been taken out
of the Lake Nipissing district, and there was a vast amount left yet.
All felt that the agricultural possibilities of the country were be-
ing overlooked, and that sufficient encouragement was not being
extended by the provincial administration in the way of building
roads, supporting the erection of pulp plants, and adopting a more
progressive and effective system of forest conservation.

These are certain features that may be discussed in the “Canada
Lumberman” in subsequent issues. The present, however, is a time
when passing reference to the humming saw mills at Callander,
Trout Mills, Cache Bay, and other points is of more particular in-
terest and timely importance.

A brief description of the mills, their equipment, facilities, his-
tory and production is given in the order in which they were visited.
All the manufacturers extended a cordial welcome to the travelling
lumber merchants, who will never forget the warm handshakes and
sincere words of their hosts.

Visit to Callander Saw Mills

The first plant visited was the Callander Saw Mills, which are
located at Callander, nine miles southeast of North Bay, and are
owned and operated by A. B. Gordon & Co.

Fle is also associated with the Tomiko Lumber Co., the Searchmont
Lumber Co., the Gordon Development Co. of B. C., and other or-
ganizations and has offices at North Bay and in the Bank of Hamil-
ton Building, Toronto.

The mill was erected at Callander about twenty years ago by
James McBurney, of North Bay, who is now in his eighty-fifth
year, and accompanied the retail lumbermen of Ontario on their
recent visit to Callander. After Mr. McBurney had conducted the
mill for some years it passed into the hands of Thomas Darling &
Son. In 1915, the property was purchased by A. B. Gordon, who
has operated it sucessfully eyery season since that time. The equip-

The daily output is about 50,000 feet of white and red pine, and th
average annual cut is around 8,000,000 feet. There is also a k

of the mill, and J. J. McDonald has charge of thé yards, which are
well laid out and ample for all purposes. The attractive summer
home of Mr. Gordon is situated on Lake Nipissing, a few miles from
the town, and there he spends several weeks every summer.

John B. Smith & Sons’ Activities

The firm of John B. Smith & Sons, Limited, is a historic one
and has been engaged in the lumber and woodworking business since
1851, having started on Niagara St., Toronto. Since 1889 the large
plant and retail yards have been located at the corner of Strachan
and Wellington Aves., while another yard is at the corner of Dundas
St. West and St. Helen’s Ave., Toronto. The area of the Toronto
yards is 15 acres. Wm. J. Smith is the president of the company
and the directors are Robert Smith, W. J. Smith, James H. Smith,
G. Larratt Smith. The veteran founder of the business, J. B. Smith,
passed away in 1894,

The organization handles white pine, yellow pine, oak, ash, birch,
hemlock, maple, cherry, cypress, walnut, cedar, whitewood and ma-
hogany, and turns out doors, sash, flooring, mouldings, tolumns,
store and office fittings, tanks, silos and all kinds of interior finish.

The illustration in another column gives a good idea of No. 2
mill of the company, the use of No. 1 mill, which was erected over
30 years ago, at Callander, Ont., having ceased. No. 2 mill was
built about 14 years ago at Callander and is splendidly equipped and —
well laid out. It has an overhead filing room, closed burner, sorting —
platform and tracks leading out from the. platform to the yards.

Commencing with the machinery in the filing room, there is a
Wm. Hamilton roller for the band saws, a large grinder, a lap grind-
er, Hanchett circular grinder for the gang saws and a small en-
gine to drive the filing machinery. $

The engine room is equipped with one 350 h.p. Wheelock en-—
gine for the sawmill and a smaller engine, about 150 h.p. for the
lath mill. There is one pump, (Canada Foundry Co., Toronto), ta —
pump the water to the heater in the boiler room and also to pump
water, to a large outside . tank, the outside tank being piped
to different houses, giving a very convenient supply of water in the
village. A separate pump takes the water from the heater in the
boiler room to five boilers which are heated by Dutch ovens.

The sawmill proper is equipped with two Wm. Hamilton eight-_
foot band mills, double cutting, 12 in. saws; two Kendall niggers and
kickers, and two.Wm. Hamilton edgers, of four saws each; one Ken-

average ee atr of the sawmill is 200,000 ft. for twenty
hours, the lath mill 120,000 pieces for the same period. The seasons
cut generally runs from 20,000,000 ft. to 22,000,000 ft. The lumber
sawn is principally red and white pine, and the company have ex-
tensive limits which assure an ample supply of timber for many
years to come. A number of camps are operated during the fall
and winter and all the logs are towed to the mill by various water

es.
S The yard and shipping facilities are among the best in the pro-
vince of Ontario. There are about eight miles of siding in the yard
connecting with the G. T. R. at Callander and the C. P. R. at pe
sing Junction, giving a piling room for 30,000,000 ft. without the
necessity of back-piling. There are two locomotives, one to draw
the lumber from the mill to the piles and another to attend to ship-
ping and delivering to the two railways. Both locomotives have pa
fighting appliances and the supply of water is ample. Besides ert
wells there is a creek running through the centre of the yard for
nearly half its length. The land on all sides is cleared and largely
cultivated. James H. Smith, secretary-treasurer of the company,
supervises the operations of the plant at Callander, where he Bee

lished lumber firm. Wm. Milne, the veteran head of the concern,
has long been a resident of the progressive northern town of which
he is a former Mayor and leading citizen. Associated with him are
his two sons, Fred Milne, who has charge of the sawmill operations,
and Lieut.-Col. W. H. Milne, who looks after the logging end.

Mr. Milne, Sr., first operated a mill at Ethel in Huron County, and
later established a plant at Trout Creek, which he disposed of after
six or seven years. He built a mill at Milnet on the Canadian Na-
tional Railway, and bought another at Spanish. The one at Milnet, he
sold to the Marshay Lumber Co. a couple of years ago, while the mill
at Spanish, which was burned and later. rebuilt, was disposed of
last year to Graham & Shannon. “A small mill was built at Trout
Mills in 1901, and this has been greatly extended during recent years
until it has reached its present proportions, being the first plant es-
tablished on the T. & N. O. railway. Its capacity is about 45,000
feet a day, consisting of white pine, birch, spruce, balsam, basswood
and elm. About 85 per cent. of the annual cut is white pine, a num-
ber of deals being turned out for export. This year about half a
million feet of birch was sawn. The equipment consists of one Wa-
terous double-cut 8-foot band mill, with 12 inch steam feed and
steam set Waterous carriage, Waterous double edger, and Payette
Jath bolter and machine. The production of lath each season is over
3,000,000 pieces, and the total annual cut of lumber averages about
7,000,000 feet.

The logs which the company are securing from Notman town-
ship, were the finest specimens seen by the lumber retailers on their
recent trip to the north. Some of them were three feet in diameter.
The logs are brought in by rail, a distance of 26 miles, on the IT. &

The power plant consists of three boilers of 100 h,p. each, two

and a Climax engine of adequate horse power drives the mill mach-

One feature about the mill is that it has no burner. All the
refuse in the way of slabs and edging is profitably disposed of in
North Bay, the demand for this wood being exceptionally active,

listed with the 159th (Northern) Battalion for overseas service in
February, 1916, and reverted to captain in order to get over to France.

he became a Lieut.-Colonel, and, after the strife in Europe termin-
ated, he returned to Scotland, where certain forestry operations were
carried out until May, 1919, when he returned home and resumed his
association with the firm. Lieut.-Col. Milne was connected with No.
6 district in the Vosges Mountains, France, and had charge of three
sawmills. Of the practical nature and progressive character of his
work’ with the Forestry Corps, little need be said as it is well known
among all Canadian foresters and lumbermen. It may, however, be
mentioned that there was designed and constructed under the super-
vision of Lieut.-Col. Milne in the Vosges region, a gravity railway

rails, the track being of three feet gauge. The line was operated
with ordinary hoists and an air-breaking device——all carried out by
the 69th Company, C. F. C. Lieut.-Col. Milne was also identified
with the 28th Company, C. F. C., which built the first sawmill in the
Vosges district. The plant was completed and in operation within
eighteen days, constituting a record in construction.

The Mills at Cache Bay

The plant of George Gordon & Co., Ltd., Cache Bay, which is
twenty-eight miles northwest from North Bay, was established im
1900 and has a daily capacity of about 125,000 ft., principally of whit
and red pine. The sawmill is 175 x 56 ft. and the planing mill 80;
40 ft. The former is equipped with two double+cut Waterous ban
saws, one horizontal Diamond and resaw, one Diamond edger, ¢
Mowry & Sons’ Jumbo edger, as well as Waterous trimmers, slash
table, etc. :

There is a busy lath and picket department with two bolter
and one lath machine of Payette & Co. and one picket machine and
picket trimmers. The power plant of the sawmill is ample for all
purposes and has one 500 h. p. Corliss engine and a 250 h.p. slide
valve engine, as well as six boilers, four being 72 in. x 18 ft., and
the remainder 66 in. x 18 ft _ ‘

The yard room of the mill is sufficiently extended for storing
about 25,000,000 feet. There are no trams in the yard, the lumber
being piled from high cars. The company have their own locomotive
for handling green lumber and also for shunting cars for shipping.

“Canada Lumberman” :—

four editorial under the above heading in the issue of August
1, opens up economic considerations of widespread interest, which,
icularly at this time, when we hear so much of Canada, having
igh her part in the great war, attained nationhood—are deserv-
t careful study, not only by our manufacturers, not only by the
er trade to which your editorial is addressed, but by every
ing citizen of this country. Our need is for definite ideas all
way round. Sigh
Our patriotism is like our religion—largely sentimental, and is
almost altdgether overlooked in practice. So that while the senti-
lent of the ‘Canadian people undoubtedly shouts “Yes” to the ques-
on “Shall we buy Made in Canada goods? and “Shall we continue
protect Canadian manufacturers?” their effective action decidedly
atives the “Shouts” of sentimental enthusiasm. The “breathes
ere a man with soul so dead” idea works overtime just now at politi-
u gatherings, and we are all Canadians first in sentiment but, when
omes down to spending money the average Canadian, being human,
buys Made-in-Canada goods only at an even break, and whatever
s nationalistic sentiments may be, he has the deep-rooted feeling of
s inalienable right to purchase in whatever market affords him the
best value in quantity and quality for his outlay. .
ah he opposite feeling of inherent right naturally is found in the
nd of the seller. For him the home market: is the ideal one, provid-
is particular commodity commands as high a price there as else-
here. Otherwise, it may be South Africa, it may be the Fiji Islands
ny other uttermost part of the earth, determined altogether by t!

the

he
eatest value in exchange which he can realize. This is elementary.
mmodities naturally tend to move from where they are relatively
ap to where they are relatively dear, and freedom of trade means
re and more the elimination of obstacles to this natural movement.
s trade is one thing and patriotism is something else.

In your editorial, the thought is implied that trade and patriotism
effect a reconciliation or have such reconciliation effected for
Let us see. So long as “buy cheap and sell dear” is our motto,
‘have no cause for complaint. If we insist on our right, we must
in reason allow the right of the manufacturer also, and refrain from
uubjecting him to sentimental patriotic restrictions, to which we have
intention of submitting ourselves. As an illustration, a farmer
cts his merchantable potatoes for “export to the city market,”
ing the small and scrubby ones for his home consumption. The
tion means in effect our saying to the farmer, “See here, these
ur potatoes are offered to us at an exorbitant price out of all propor-
ion to the cost of production. Henceforth and hereafter, you are to
pply us with spuds at a fixed margin over what it costs to produce
em and you are to notified accordingly herewith.”
_ We can imagine that the reply though perhaps unprintable would
‘short and to the point. The fact is that we have been overlooking
another elementary economic principle—that value is one thing and
“price is again something else, value being determined by cost of pro-
duction and price by supply and demand. So far the manufacturer
seems to have the best of the argument.
____ Now about a protective tariff? Funds are necessary for carrying
on of Government—and this is one object, whether greater or smaller,
in relation to the matter of protecting industries ‘being in a ac-
cordance with our political faith. ;

Here, it seems, is a point where trade and patriotism come in
tact. That we may grow to be a great country, we want industries
rovide employment for an ever-increasing population. Cities com-
for factories by offering exemption from taxes for a period of
years—free sites, water supply, and so on. The city wants this par-
ticular industry to establish its plant within its borders, not for the
plant itself as an addition to scenic effects, but for the increase in
‘population which it will bring, furthering the ambition that we shall
bet some the industrial metropolis of our section.
This desire (we do not go into a discussion of its merits) or am-
ion, is naturally betimes taken advantage of by the manufacturing
ests to obtain concessions as above noted in exchange for locating
certain point. This procedure, however, can hardly be taken ex-
on to—a city wants something—pays for it and gets it, and a
intry does the same. As the city desiring increased population,

manufacturer to establish his plant within its borders, so a country, by
a protective tariff, which prohibits to a large extent the importation
of a given commodity, offers a like inducement for the establishment
of industries within the limits of. its territory. The motive is not
cheaper commodities but greater population—considered either from
the civic or national viewpoint.

Now then, we as a country wanted this industry to establish here
and have paid the price of protection—we have the industry, but it
seems that we are growing dissatisfied with our bargain. If protection

‘is no longer needed, if the period for which exemption from taxes was

allowed has expired, adjustments may and must be made—but to say
to any manufacturer, “You must see that the hdrhe nvarket is supplied
first”—is to use the language of childhood.

“Markets,” which means “effective demand,” are created by cir-
cumstances over which the nianufacturer has no control and, given that
effective demand in the home market, the same will naturally and
necessarily be taken care of first. Let us be consistent.. Our patri-
otism was great enough to allow coritessions in orders to secure the
industries we wanted; we have them—they have brought us the addi-
tional population we desired, then why should we now quarrel over
the terms of sale?

More than anything else, we should be very careful that we do not
insist that the “home price” shall be based on the cost of production—
in the sense of a fixed margin above that cost... Notwithstanding the
decision of the Methodist Conference at Hamilton, this-is a principle
which, in application, would be ‘subversive of freedom in far-reaching
directions. Prices of commodities are determined-by world conditions
and are subject only within narrow limits:to artificial manipulation as
noted in the case of one of our Lumber Association’s price lists, which
has been described, not as representing so much the selling price of
lumber as what the manufacturers would'lie to get for it.

So long as any industry is not controlled-by a monopoly or com-
bine, competition between its members-will-keep prices at their proper
level. In that direction lies the proper*sphere ofgovernmental regu-
lation in keeping the channels’ clear of obstruction for the natural
movements of trade. In the other direction of price-fixing,—margin
over cost of production,—lies’ state sotialism—the condition which
Herbert Spencer predicted many years ago as the “coming slavery,”
which would be brought on themselves by those who are undeserving
of free institutions. Shall we help or hinder its advent?

Settling Disputes—Fulfilling Contracts

Resolutions in the matter of settling disputes by arbitration and
on the carrying out of contracts were recently adopted by the Long
Island Lumber Dealers’ Association in New York State.” They will
be read with interest and it is hoped profit by many sister organiza-
tions. The resolutions are: ;

Whereas, the honest fulfillment of contracts is essen-
tial to the stability of business relations and to the wel-
fare of the entire building material industry, and

Whereas, the Long Island Dealers Association has
insisted and does insist upon the fulfillment of orders on
a rising market and,

Whereas, manufacturers and wholesalers of building
material have generally fulfilled orders as accepted,

Be it resolved, that the Long Island Dealers’ Associ-
ation pledge its members to the fullfillment of all orders
as given and accepted. If any member shall be reported
as cancelling an order without good reason and purely.
because of market decline the circumstances shall be re-
ported to the Arbitration Committee, and the Arbitra-
tion Committee shall in its discretion recommend that
the name of such member be dropped from the rolls of
the Association.

Be it resolved, that the Long Island Dealers’ Asso-

By “The Onlooker” -

Important Meeting of Lumberers in 1858.

A special general meeting of the lumberers of the Ottawa
and its tributaries, was held agreeable to a Public Requisition
at Armstrong’s Union Hotel on Saturday, January 9th, 1858,
at 4 o’clock p.m., in Ottawa.

On motion J. Aumond took the chair, and T. Spence was
requested to act as secretary.

The secretary having read the minutes of the last meeting,
the chairman then briefly explained the object of this meeting,
which was principally to arrange for the constituting of a
“Board of Lumberers” and to appoint a committee to take
the necessary steps in making application to Parliament at
its first sitting.

Present: J. Aumond, J. Doyle per J. Egan’s estate, R.
Conroy, J. Skead, C. Hudson, John Dunlop, George Aird,
Coll. McDonnell, Richard McConnell, Peter Aleyn, John For-
an, D. McLachlin, Alex. McLaren, and others.

Moved by Mr. Conroy, seconded by Mr. McConnell.

That this meeting being of the opinion that the organiz-
ation of a “Board of Lumberers” is of paramount importance
to all interested in the lumber trade of the Ottawa, do hereby
resolve that application be made to the Legislative Assembly
of this Province, at its next session for an act of incorporation,
whereby the said trade may be managed by such board, as to
be constituted in the manner as may best conduce to the in-
terests of all engaged and interested therein.—Carried.

Moved by D. McLachlin, seconded by J. Skead.—That
with the view of carrying into practical execution the foregoing
resolution, the following gentlemen be named as a committee
to take all the necessary initiative steps for obtaining the
said Act of Incorporation, or if found necessary, an amend-
ment of the Ottawa Board of Trade, and that the member for
Renfrew, together wtih the Hon. P. M. Vankoughnet, be re-
quested to take charge of such bill (as may be framed) in its
passage through the House of Assembly and Legislative
Council, said committee to be composed of Messrs. Allan Gil-
mour, James Skead, G. and J. J. Harris, J. Supple, Geo. Bry-
son,, D. McLachlan, R. McConnell, James Doyle, R. Conroy,
C. McDonnell.

Any three of the above-named gentlemen to form a quorum.

Moved by Mr. R. McConnell, seconded by Mr. J. Dunlop:
That the quorum shall submit their proceedings before a gen-
eral meeting, previous to the same being presented before the
legislature.—Carried.

The foregoing is a record of the minutes of what was probably
the first meeting of lumbermen ever held in Canada. The gathering
took place in Ottawa sixty-two years ago and all who then attended
_have passed to the great beyond. ;

The document is among the archives of Frank Hawkins of Otta-
wa, secretary of the Canadian Lumbermen’s Association, who guards
it as one of his most treasured possessions.

What a contrast with present-day conditions and the regulation
of the roving, restless lumberjack of 1920. This first meeting made
history for the Ottawa Valley lumbermen and years after had its
effect on the general labor situation.

Take thirty years ago and all camps were pretty much the same

_ with the same variety of food, but today, and even within the last five
years there has been a vast difference, both as to food, camp condi-
tions, protection for the men, and a general benefit all around for the
workers. It costs the cCompaiéS more money, but even so the pro-
duction is not there, and that is what counts.

Gone Are Old “Square” Timber Days.
In lumbering operations of the last forty years there has been
a great change throughout the Valley. The old “square” timber days
are gone, with their picturesqueness and real old camp life—which
meant production. It is recalled within the memory of old lumber

operators, that the passing of the last “square” timber raft through
Ottawa, which was owned by William Mackie, some twenty years ago,
stamped the beginning of a new era, not only in the form of logs taken
out but in camp life as well. With the introduction of other mo

of the Lumbermen’s Safety Association. The latter to the gen
passed over with a glance, but it means a wh
lot to the lumber trade. In the winter months the inspectors
through the camps and in the summer months go over the mills, on
the lookout for undesirable conditions and recommending for their
improvement or elimination. In the old days “Safety First” was un-
heard of. Now it plays a big part in camp life and casts a serious
responsibility on the operators. Then, again, there is the protection
of the Workmen’s Compensation Act, which lends further protection
to the employee in the event of his being injured. A Safety Ass
ation or the Workmen’s Compensation Act does not mean-much to
the general public, particularly if the public is buying lumber. —

During the season of 1918-19 the claims were high, but it is ex-

camp workers.

<r The Grub and Lodging of 30 Years Ago.
Thirty years ago the men slept in the same building where they
ate, with the camboose in the centre. They lived largely on pork and
yeans and bread. They slept mostly in the same blankets, year aiter
year. Tea was then purchased by the men and cost them about ninety
sents per pound. Nowdays tea is furnished to them free, and, in
addition in the modern camps, the employees are provided with a
menu that compares favorably with that of a large hotel. In some
cases the food supplied by the companies is spoiled by the cook, but
once this situation arises it is soon curbed and a new and more
efficient cook put into the camp. All kinds of jams, several dried
fruits, green cabbage, all kinds of pickles, fresh beef, the best of
butter, potatoes, beans, pork, bacon, sausages, mincemeat, and in fact
everything that goes to make up a healthful diet is provided for the
men. The sleeping quarters of the men are in some of the camps of
the bigger companies scrubbed as often as four times per week. The
‘men do their own washing, and for the purposes of entertainment

‘Standardization of Parts and Cutting

_

ie F
£

The three main factors entering into the construction of a home
are time, labor and material. It is claimed that these items may be
“conserved by having all the lumber items for a house cut to accurate
sizes at the mill or factory as embodied in the ready-cut method of
house-building. The principles involved, viz., the standardization of
_ parts and the cutting to size and machining of all pieces at the fac-
tory, are not new, as they have been employed in steel construction
work for many years. It is more a question of adapting these: prin-
‘ciples to wood construction and educating the general public to the
saving and advantages that may be effected by their adoption.

~The ready-cut method_should not be confused with the portable
or sectional house idea. The two are entirely dissimilar in construc-
tion. In sectional or portable housework, the house is built up in
tions which are nailed together at the factory.. The sections are
pped out and assembled and bolted together on the site. In the
dy-cut house idea each piece is cut to size and length, ana bevelled
notched, as required, at the factory. The carpenter does not have
, cutting or fitting to do, but simply follows instructions and as-
embles the pieces as directed. In appearance and construction the
ady-cut house does not differ. from the type of building regularly
lapted for residential purposes. Ready-cut houses may be built in
wood, brick veneer, stucco and wood or brick-and wood. |

- The Canadian Aladdin Co., Limited, with head offices at To-
, Ont., recently completed the first unit of the large factory
they are constructing at Peterboro, Ont., for manufacturing
dy-cut houses. In addition to the Peterboro plant, this company

rule, “lights out,” goes into effect and is enforced at nine p.m. On
Saturday nights the men are given greater latitude. The best of
blankets are furnished and nearly every year they are renewed, the
old ones being used for horse covers.

‘Then, too, the facilities for purchasing what were in the old days
considered “luxuries,” have been improved. Now it is possible for
the men to purchase pipes, cigarettes, tobacco, checkers, gum, ¢tc., as
their fancy wills, and they can also get clothing. The store is kept
in the camp van, and the worker can almost buy anything he wants.
Thirty years ago, the workers were tied down to the purchasing of
only necessities, and in many cases if anybody wanted anything
“fancy,” they had to carry it in on their back at the start of the
season, The lumbering companies do not operate the “van” or “store”
for the purpose of making a profit but for the benefit that it gives io
the men and to try to assist in making them more contented.

Safeguarding the Health of the Men.

Besides a qualified physician visits the camps once a month. In
case of accident or sickness if a physician cannot be obtained pro-
vision is made for first aid treatment. Another important point is the
obtaining of the advice of a medical practitioner before the camp is
laid out. He looks after the water supply, location, etc., and as the
season’s operations progress the results of his efforts, knowledge
and experience are shown. '

In the early part of the camp operations live cattle are driven
into the camps to furnish fresh meat, and later on frozen beef is sent
in. Furthermore, several of the operators have of late years adopted
the practise of establishing farms which contain a large number of
well bred pigs.

When the camp is established, Mr. Pig, for the first part, is taken
care of and fed. Later as he grows in size he is permitted to roam
through the wilds with his mother. Soon he becomes accustomed to the
forest life, and goes entirely away from the camp, not paying any at-
tention to it, until the cold weather sets in or all of the nuts and roots
he lives on, have become exhausted. Then he comes back to camp in
the finest and sweetest of shape, and is further fed and fattened. As
fresh pork is required for camp use the hogs are killed and the men
get the best of pork, which the head of a well known lumber company
described as being “even sweeter than turkey or chicken.”

Taken all around the woodsman, today with the wages he is get-
ting, and the food he is having provided for his livelihood, should be
grateful that he is alive, instead of turning around and jumping from
cam» to camp, and get busy and produce, and if he considers himself
as good stock, turn around and play the game squarely, as his sires did
decades ago. Meanwhile let the public have an idea about the price
of lumber. It’s production that’s wanted.

Public is Being Educated to Adopt—Time and Labor Elements

By L. R.

Wright

and Vancouver, B. C. The new factory is a modern, up-to-date,
woodworking plant, equipped wifh the latest labor-saving production
machines.

The first unit is a one-storey building, 100 x 200, of frame con-
struction, with heavy concrete floors. The ceiling is high and the
whole floor well lighted by a bountiful supply of natural light. The
equipment is well spaced so that a large volume of work may be put

through without over-crowding or confusion.

Location is Excellent One

The site consists of about 13 acres with excellent trackage faci-.
lities. A siding, 600 ft. long, runs through the porperty and gives
connection with the C. P. R. and C. N. Rys. The factory is locat-
ed along one side of this track and a large warehouse is to extend
along the other side. The siding also facilitates the handling of the
lumber and other material. ;

Electricity is the motive power employed, both an individual and
group drive being used. A steam plant has been installed to heat
the factory and dry kilns. The refuse from the factory, which is
conveyed by a Sheldon shavings exhaust system to a large concrete
vault in the boiler house, will be used as fuel. The dry kiln, which

adjoins the boiler house, is a single-compartment, progressive type
kiln, 20 ft. x 40 ft., and was installed by Sheldons, Limited, of Galt,
Ont. This is a general-purpose kiln and may be used for both hard
and soft woods.

A large number of what might be termed “standard plans,” have
been prepared covering a wide selection of houses and bungalows,

‘consumer and the home builder.

and ranging from the humble summer cottage to the more protentious
permanent residence. A saving may be effected by working to one
of the standard designs, but it requires special plans to be worked
up to suit the requirements of the purchaser. In this case a small
extra charge is made to cover cost of drawing the plans and working
out the details.
Each Piece or Group is Numbered

The Engineering Department prepares these plans and also pre-
pares detailed drawings, showing the size and other particulars of
each individual item entering into the construction of the house.
Each piece or group of similar pieces is numbered or otherwise iden-
tified. From these detailed drawings a list of material is made up
which accompanies the drawings to the factory. Smaller lists are then
prepared and given to the stock cutters and others who are respon-
sible for preparing the material. As each item on the smaller lists
is got out, it is bundled and the house or design number, quantity
and size of pieces and identification number or name is plainly mark-
ed. Each item is picked off as got out. The material for each house
is kept separate. Thus all confusion and errors are avoided.

. The material is all worked to very accurate sizes. Such items as
joists, 2 x 4’s, etc., are dressed to standard sizes so that all calcula-
tions will work out correctly. Steel tapes, jigs and gauges of differ-
ent kinds are used to insure absolute accuracy. The framing, jack

rafters, siding, flooring and other items are cut to sizes and bevelled,

if required. The only material that is sent out in random lengths
is baseboards, picture mould and similar mouldings which, owing
to the variation in thickness of the plaster, could not be cut to fit.
When the ready-cut material arrives on the job, the work of the
carpenters is all laid out for them. They simply have to consult the
blueprints and directions, which are furnished, select the material
as designated by the numbers or other identification marks, and be-
gin the erection of the building. Everything is planned and prepared
for them. Thus there is no time lost making calculations, measur-
ing, laying out work, sawing, fitting, etc. The building operations
become merely a matter of following instructions and assembling
the ready-cut material.

The capacity of the new plant is two complete houses a day.
With the installation of four additional swing saws, the output can
be increased to four houses. This form of construction is also ap-
plied to garages, barns, stores, in fact to all kinds of buildings.

Value of Timber Cut from Live and Dead Trees
Prejudice exists in certain quarters against the use of timber cut
from dead trees, and some purchase specifications insist that only tim-
ber cut from live trees will be acceptable. As a matter of fact, when
sound dead trees are sawed into lumber, and the weathered or charged
outside is cut away, there is no method known to the Forest Products
Laboratory by which the lumber can be distinguished from that cut
from live trees, except that the lumber from dead trees may be partly
seasoned when sawed. .

All the information available at the laboratory indicates that
timber cut from insect or fire-killed trees is just as good for any struc-
tural purpose as that cut from live trees of similar quality, providing
the wood has not been subsequently injured by decay or further insect
attack. Ifa tree stands on the stump too long after it is killed, the
sapwood is likely to become decayed or badly infested by wood-boring
‘insects; and in time the heartwood also will be similarly affected.
The same thing is true of logs cut from live trees and not properly
cared for. Until the ‘wood becomes affected by these destructive

agents, dead tree wood should be just as strong and just as durable

as sound live tree wood.

In considering the subject it may be useful to remember that the
heartwood of a living tree is entirely dead, and in the sapwood only
a comparatively few cells are dead. Most of the wood cut from trees
is dead, therefore, regardless of whether the tree itself is living or not.
Such being the case, purchase specifications, instead of providing that

_ material must not be from dead trees, should state that material show-

ing evidence of decay or insect infestation exceeding a specified limit
will not be accepted.

Only Slight Difference in House Building

The increase in railroad freight rates authorized by the Interstate
Commerce Commission will add slightly to the value of lumber to the
The increase varies for different
regions, and it is estimated that it will average approximately 33 1/3
per cent., so far as lumber is concerned. That means the addition of
one-third to the cost of transportation, but since such expense is but
a relatively small part of the total value of lumber which goes into a
house it is not to be expected that it will materially affect the building
of homes, says a Chicago despatch.

Lumber weighs anywhere from 2,000 to 3,500 pounds per thou-
sand feet, according to the kind of wood and its degree of dryness.
Much of the yellow pine coming into Chicago takes a rate of 32%

securing a large amount of business. :

cents per hundred pounds, so, in the case of umber _ N
2,800 pounds per thousand feet, the transportation cost
$9.10 per thousand. Douglas-fir shipped from the Pacific } )
to Chicago is hauled by the railroads at a charge of 60 cents per hut
dred pounds, so that the freight charges on a thousand feet of Dougi
fir weighing, say 2,500 pounds, would amount to $15. An increase of
33 1/3 per cent. in the freight rate means adding about $3 to the co:
of transporting yellow pine from the South to Chicago and $5 to th
cost of Douglas fir from Oregon and Washington points to Chicago.
With yellow pine lumber selling at $70 per thousand feet the o
rate of transportation of $9.10 per thousand feet formed 13 per cent.
the total value. Under the new rate the cost of the railroad haul y
be about 17 per cent. of the value. In the case of Douglas fir sell
in Chicago at $70 per thousand feet the old freight charges forme
per cent. of the value, while under the increased rate the freight f

will form 29 per cent. iin
The figures given apply to Chicago only, but they are illus
in a general way to all sections of the country. The man who i
to build himself a home and who may use a total of twenty thous
feet of lumber in its construction, is not going to let the increas
the value of lumber due to the advance in the cost of transp
deter him from carrying out-his purpose. The added inves
twenty thousand feet of lumber would mean to the man i
buying yellow pine but $60. On a house costing $5,000 to buil
increase of $60 amounts to 1.2 per cent. Lumbermen general! do
believe that the home building movement of the country will la

vance in the cost of hauling building materials. . aaa

and to create a secretarial position for “some good
fellow” is past, and it is much more serious business now than for-
merly.
pee ‘Associations must be of some value to their members, but upon
‘the other hand, unless the members will also contribute their time,
thought and effort, the Association cannot, no matter how well
managed, reach a high state of perfect functioning. There are many
lines of endeavor to which an Association should devote itself, all
with the final and ultimate end in view of assisting those, in the par-
ticular line of business which the Association represents, to deter-
‘mine the simplest, straightest and most applicable method in the
proper handling of their wares and in the elimination of waste, and in
the reduction of the cost of handling for the benefit of the ultimate
consumer and the general public.

The Necessity of Associations

a Business men are more and more coming to the realization of
the fact that, by co-operating with their fellow-man in the same
‘line of business, they are securing information and data which they
are notable to secure in any other way; that they are able to over-
come many of their difficulties. by constant interchange of ideas,
and that the information which is gathered by their Association
and disseminated to them is worth many thousands of dollars each
Se year.

more in the open field than could ever have been accomplished by
the old methods of secrecy.

-The world needs Trades Associations of the right kind, and the
concerns or the individuals in any line of business who are not tak-
ing their proper place within the association organized for them and
their benefit are derelict in their duty and are losing a great opportun-
ity. Progressive men are anxious to affiliate with their trade organi-
zations, because they realize the value of it to them and because they
want to assist their competitors and make better men out of them.

The good association member is the one who gladly accepts the
suggestions of methods recommended to him by his association and
puts them practice, when assured that they are the result of.expert
investigations covering their entire field. He also is willing and an-
xious to give to others, through his association, the benefits of his
own experience.

He looks upon the association “as his association,” and feels re-
sponsible for it as to its success or failure. He attends its conyen-
tions and takes an active part, contributing as well as absorbing in-
formation and ideas. The cost of keeping it up isa secondary
matter with him as he knows that he will get value received many
times over if he will do his share. Such a man is a good citizen, is

,

valuable to his industry and is appreciated by the public.

The Fourth Annual Convention of the National Retail Lumber
Dealers’ Association will be held in St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 7th and Sth,
1920, at the Planters Hotel. All retail lumbermen are welcome and
invited.

Pulled Pipe Stem from His Throat

Henri Lacroix, of Sturgeon Falls, Ont., who was in St. Joseph’s
Hospital at Sudbury over a month, left the hospital recently, having
undergone one of the strangest experiences on record. He swallowed
the stem of his pipe and recovered it.after ten weeks’ time without the
aid of a doctor. In May last Mr. Lacroix, who worked at the Spanish
River Pulp and Paper Mill at Sturgeon Falls, was thrown into the mill
race at the plant and pinned under some machinery which fell from
the jack ladder at the same time. He had several ribs broken, suffered
a dislocated shoulder and was under water for three minutes, coming
very near death-by drowning. He was resuscitated and it was then
discovered that he had swallowed the stem of his pipe in the accident.

It was a curved stem about four inches long, and it passed into his
stomach. From that time until lately the stem had remained within
him, sometimes pressing against his heart, sometimes coming up in his
throat, and at other times remaining passive. He asked that an oper-
ation be held in order to remove it. This was nat necessary for while
lying in his cot one morning Mr. Lacroix became aware that the
stem was coming up in his throat. He managed to catch it with his
fingers and withdrew it. He is keeping the pipe-stem as a reminder
of the strange occurrence. . :

Hope Lumber Company’s Activities

The Hope Lumber Co., Ltd., of Thessalon, Ont., was recently in-
corporated to take over the businesses formerly known as the Hope
Lumber Co., and the Hope Operating Co. The new organization has
an authorized capital of $750,000, and is empowered to manufacture
and deal in lumber, timber and other forest products. G. A. Mitchell
is president of the company ; J. J. McFadden, vice-president; C. N.
Carney, general manager, and W. F. Cameron, manager.

The Hope Lumber Co. bought the business in 1916 from the estate
of E. B. Ford, Bay City, Michigan, and has operated the mill ever
since with encouraging success. The daily capacity is about 100,000
feet, and the output consists chiefly of white pine, red pine and spruce.
Shipping facilities are excellent both by rail and water, and the com-
pany has piling room for fifteen million feet lumber. The mill is
equipped with one double-cutting Waterous band mill, one single-cut-
ting Waterous band mill and one Weeks gang saw. There is also a
lath department containing a Payette lath mill. The Hope Lumber
Co. operate several camps each year, and market their products chietly
through wholesalers.

pointed sales manager of the firm and entered upon his new duties.
Mr. Linton’s many friends will congratulate him on his well deserv-
ed promotion. Previous to coming to Toronto five years ago, he was
with the Rathbun Company in Kingston for two years and then

was eleven years with the Frontenac Lumber Co., Kingston. Mr. -

Linton has had an all-round, thorough experience in the lumber in-
dustry. A. E. Richards, late of Prince Rupert, succeeds him as East-
ern representative.

Albert Lammers, of Lammers Bros., Stillwater, Minn., died
while making a visit to his son, Walter Lammers, who is manager
for the Adams River Lumber Co., at Chase, B. C. Mr. Lammers had
been in the logging and lumber business with his brother, George
A. Lammers, at Stillwater, Minn., for the last forty years, but during
the last few years he had been spending most of his time in the South
with headquarters at Jacksonville, Fla., looking after mill and tim-
ber interests there. He was about sixty years of age. A widow and
three sons survive him. The three sons, Walter, Roger and Wyman.
are all living in Chase.

“A Hand Book of the Canadian Pulp & Paper Industry.” A vas
amount of information is contained within its pages not only reg ird-
ing the expansion and development of the industry but also re
to exports, imports and production, Canada’s pulp resources, —

Suppose that between

- midnight and morning
some strange and mighty
power were suddenly to
strike every vestige of
lumber from the world’s
entire equipment — what
would be the effect upon
the welfare of Man?

Here is a startling

challenge to the imagina-
tion, a suggestion calcu-
lated to strip the problem
to its naked proportions.
Try for ten minutes to see
the world as it would look
if lumber and all wood
products were bainshed
from the field of com-
merce and industry and
you will be astonished by
che sobering vision that
will unfold.

Focus every faculty
of your mind upon the task of seeing your familiar world as it
would appear if swept clean of every board foot of lumber and
wood products. You will feel that your eyes have been opened
to an economic revelation!

No thinking man can face that vision without a shudder.
Instinctively he will shake himself loose from its spell as from
the clutch of a night-mare in which the world has become con-
fused, fantastic, out of focus. .

The whole fabric of commerce and industry would be
swept into chaos. The picture grows more repugnant with
every second that we survey it. But a steady look at it is
salutary. It would mean turning back the clock of civilization
for a century or more. The famine would spread and affect
every industry. It would mean, in short, a world in which

Industry would drag and fall under the fatal load of locomotor
ataxia. But turn from this dark picture to the splendid
realities of the present and the bright certainties of the future.

Every community has an interest in its lumber dealer. Of
all the sellers of goods at retail, he is the most important factor
in community development, because what he sells usually be-
comes a visible and lasting part of the community. It may
be truthfully said that he sells the very stuff out of which
communities are made. In new territories he is the first mer-
chant on the ground; and in established sections he is the last
merchant to go out of business.

Moreover, it is an interesting fact that any community is
about as wise and progressive as its leading retailers—no more
and no less. If the people of any community are ahead of its
retailers they usually soon open a way for a live retailer—
sometimes by the negative method of starving the backward
retailer by sending trade out of town. But if, on the other
hand, the lumber dealer is always a little ahead of his com-
munity, always alertly anticipating its needs and desires, he
can make that community move forward faster and faster
while at the same time he is increasing his own income, stand-
ing, and future prospects. Therefore, in a special sense, the
lumber dealer is a builder of his community—and a lot of that
community’s future depends on him and his ability.

Heavy Crop of Spruce Seed

The Commission of Consérvation has received reports from
a number of points in Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick
indicating that this is an exceptionally heavy seed year for
white spruce in eastern Canada. There promises to be a good
yield of white pine seed as well. Last year there was prac-
tically no spruce seed in eastern Canada. Heavy seed years
for spruce and pine usually occur only every fourth year,

Imagine This World Without Lumber

therefore those who wish to collect the seed should take ad-
vantage of the abundant crop this year.

White spruce seed ripens in September and the cones
should be collected just before they open. If picked too early,
the seeds will be immature, and if left till the cones open, the
seeds will have dropped out.

The increasing attention being given to reforestation has
developed a large home market for tree seeds. In addition to
the various governmental and commercial nurseries, several
of the pulp companies, including the Laurentide, Abitibi,
Spanish River and Riordon, have nurseries. There are also
good markets in the United States and Great Britain for Can-
adian tree seeds. Heretofore the nurseries on this continent
have had to depend largely on European seed owing to the
limited amount of native seed collected. The European seed
has not been entirely satisfactory; our climate and hardy
native stock is preferred when obtainable.

During the last few years the demand for tree seeds has
always exceeded the supply and this spring $10.00 per Ib. could
be secured for white spruce seed. This, ‘however, is excep-
tionally high, $5.00 being considered a reasonable price. The
cost of collecting and preparing the seed for the market varies
with the local conditions.

Points to Observe When Ordering Lumber
\ N Eastern U. S. lumber firm has formulated several

points to observe when ordering lumber. The sug-
gestions are well worth keeping in mind:

1. Consider carefully points you wish to cover in your
order.

2. Shippers must be financially responsible, or satisfactory
to you by reputation.

3. vermis.

4. Time oi shipment, approximately.

5. If orders are given to traveller, have it understood that
before his company enters the order, his company mail you an
acceptance so worded that you will be mutually agreed on all
points.

6. Wire order for transit cars is very dangerous.

7. Considex the terms, grading, method of working, widths
and thickness will be according to custom rules at shipping
points unless otherwise agreed.

8. Dryness, Air on Kiln-Dried.

9. If Air-Dried, it is best to go by weight, since most
trouble will come from South Western Short Leaf, on account
ut stain, etc.

10. If kiln-dried, especially in expensive woods, must be
done with modern equipment; case hardened, warped, split
split output won’t do.

11. Flooring, ceiling and all worked lumber be sure and
agree on percentage of lengths and widths.

12. Thickness, whether rough or dressed, have your ship-
per note what he intends to ship.

13. Kind of car, rack, box or open car.

14. If high priced material car roof must be tested for
leaks.

15. Routing.

16. Discount, amount, when.

17. Mention bundled or loose stock.
ing, how many pieces to bundle.

18. Hemlock mention grade No. 1, Merchant, or No. 2.

19. Lath, be careful about widths, thickness, and lengths

20. If lumber is purchased at shipping point, agree on
freight rates.

21. Working of flooring, hollow back, planed one side and
matched, or planed one side and centre matched.

22. All hardwood flooring must be according to the Hard-
wood Manufacturers’ Association Rules, as regarding grades,
percentage of lengths, etc.

23. Do not confuse Coast Stock, especially in Roofers and
Flooring, with South Western, as to the grades and working.

Pulpwood Great Industry of North

Speaking recently at a big picnic held by the United Farmers of
Ontario at Monteith, R. A. McInnes, manager of the Abitibi Power
and Paper Co., Iroquois Falls, Ont., referred to the close connection of
the pulpwood industries with the development of the North. The in-

terests of the North were the interests of the pulp and paper com-

panies.
The chief difficulty he saw was that the North up to the present had

not spoken with one voice. He had great difficulty in getting at the-

facts in regard to what was best for the North. It was no use going to
the Government and saying the North wanted something. The people
must get together, decide what they wanted and what was best and
then approach the Government with a definite programme.

The future of the North lay in pulpwood, the ministers had said.
That was true, but he would add that the interests of the pulpwood
industries and of the farmers were identical. Settlement was badly
needed in the North and the pulpwood industries furnished the market
for these farmers.

He gave figures showing that a million square miles of forest had
been destroyed by fire in the past few years. That meant that what
fire had destroyed in one year would have kept ten mills as large as the
Abitibi going day and night for 14 years.

What was to be done? -' The thing to do was to figure out a definite
scheme of fire protection and then go to the Government with it. The
future of the North was bound up in the production of the forests, so

‘ scientific cutting, etc., must be adopted to control the forest wealth.

After fire protection there must be arrangements for reseeding, either
by nature or artificially.

_ Few people realized what the pulp industry meant to the North.
The Abitibi Co. paid last year three and a half millions in wages
alone. Then there were other mills at Smooth Rock, Kapuskasing and
soon. Ina few years the wages paid annually by these and new mills
would run to the enormous total of $15,000,000.

Another sign of the importance of the North was that the Abitibi >

Co. had paid in freight to the T. & N. O. in the past year $950,000 and
the other companies in proportion.

The investment in the past three years by pulp companies had been
$60,000,000 in the North country and. it was just beginning. That
showed the enormous importance of the industry to the North.

Where does the farmer come in? The pulpwood industries must
have settlers; they must have produce and labor. First comes the
large industry, then must come the settlers; roads are needed. The
companies, and the settlers must work together. It is useless for the
people of the North to act individually. They must first work out a
programme for the North and then go to the Government and get
what they want.

Model Pulp and Paper Town Planned

According to plans now being made by Premier Drury, Kapus-
kasing is to be made ‘a second Iroquois Falls. In the latter place the
Abitibi Company owns the town-site and has brought into being as
fine a modern little town as there is in the province. It is the intention
of the Ontario Government to make this place similar.
. The Premier declined in making the agreement with the Spruce
Falls Pulp- Company to turn over control of the townsite. That has
been retained and the first step to be taken will be to have the Gov-
ernment engineers lay out a new townsite on modern lines. The Pre-

mier has also ensured the town of an ample supply of electric energy

by pledging the Pulp Company to reserve ten per cent. of its power
production for the town. Likewise 15 per cent. of its newsprint out-
put will be reserved for sale in Canada under the agreement.

New Brunswick After Pulp Mills

“Any complaints, whether British, Canadian or American, which
have a proposition to develop pulp and paper enterprises in New Bruns-
wick will receive every encouragement from the Provincial Govern-
ment,” said Hon. W. E. Foster, Premier of the Province, “Our gen-
eral policy towards pulp and paper enterprises is embodied in the
statutes of the province, and provides for the granting of licenses to
cut on the Crown lands for the purpose of manufacturing pulp and
paper under what are very reasonable terms. These licenses extend

for a period of thirty years, and are subject to renewal for a furtl
period of twenty years. They may be exchanged for a saw mill lice
“The Government is now going ahead with the work of develop
water powers in various parts of the province. One object of this «
parture is to encourage industrial development. Where a water po
is developed as a public enterprise, it is the intention to offer
at as low rates as possible to any private company wishing to es
a pulp and paper plant in the neighborhood. Any company
comes to the government with a reasonable proposition to dei
water power in various parts of the province. One object of
enterprise will be given not only encouragement but ass
financial way, due regard being had to the public interests,
are going ahead with water power development as a public e
we are ready also to encourage private enterprise in conn
water power development, especially if there is an industrial
associated therewith.” Yer

Will Pulpwood Prices Break? |

E. R. Heyland of the Thompson and Heyland Lumber Co., To-
ronto, recently returned from an extended trip to Quebec and New
srunswick, where he was looking over the pulpwood situation and
studying market conditions. He says that the production will be very
large this season. Owing to the comparative quietness of the lumber
market many men who were formerly engaged in logging are now
cutting pulpwood and there is an impression in some quarters that
the high prices which now prevail in pudpwood are due to break
this winter. If the break should come there will be a lower rate fo
pulp and paper set in. The car situation in the east is serious
and is likely to become worse this fall and winter. all i
Mr. Heyland states that in Quebec fifteen thousand cords is the
limit on any transaction which the banks will finance. While the
prospects are that there will be an overproduction in pulpwood, there
is not a great quantity for immediate delivery, so it is stated. In Que-
bec the mills are paying, for next year’s delivery, from $18 to $20
per cord for peeled spruce and balsam, while rough, unpeeled wood
is quoted at $11 to $12 for delivery in 1921. In Ontario the price for
unpeeled wood is from $11 to $14. A great demand has set in for
poplar, owing to the attractive prices paid and the product in that —
line is now reported away over the requirements of the market. At
country points the figure prevailing is from $12.50 to $13.00. Peeled
spruce is quoted from $17 to $18. : + Bis é

sd New Pulp Plant on St. Maurice
A Montreal bond company announce that they have recently un-
derwritten the entire issue of $2,400,000 of bonds and debentures of
nouan Pulp and Paper Limited, carrying a bonus of common stock.
_ This company, which was organized about ten years ago as a
holding company, is now developing power on the St. Maurice River,
ist below the confluence of the Manouan and St. Maurice rivers.
They have also owned for many years extensive pulp limits adjoining
Laurentide, Belgo-Canadian and St. Maurice Paper Company Limits.
It is proposed to build a 100-ton ground pulp mill immediately,
with the ultimate idea of adding later, the power now being developed
ig more than sufficient for that purpose, consisting as it does of
ut 38,000 h.p. The power which is known as Allard Falls, is one of

last remaining large power sites on the St. Maurice.

¥ Want Pulpwood Cargoes Released
FH. Keefer, K.C., representing the Russell Timber Company, Port
Arthur, held a conference with Premier Drury recently, at which the
Government was asked to release two boatloads of pulp wood, one at
“Sault Ste. Marie and the other at Fort William. On one boat there are
400 cords and on the other 1,100 cords. Mr. Keefer pointed out that
the company had over 15,000 cords yet tied up as a result of the Rus-
| Bestepsl investigation, and that this would more than satisfy all
jovernment claims against the company. The Government will pro-

_bably allow the wood to be shipped.

ieee Mr. Backus Will Erect Big Plant

municipal power plant to the Backus

The by-law selling the ver rh
interests was carried recently by a vast majority. In addition to the

sale of the power plant the by-law fixes the present assessment of the
"Backus interests here at $300,000 for ten years, and also grants exemp-
tion from all but school taxes for a like period on all additional lands
up to 125 acres they may require for the purpose of the immense
pulp and paper industry they propose to establish here. oe

_- The company agrees to sell power to the town for its utility
service at $20 per horsepower per year. It now costs the town $27.
The agreement approved by the passing of the by-law is conditional
upon the company securing the English River pulp limits, which con-
sists of 2,500 square miles north of the Lake of the Woods district.

¢ How Pulp Consumption Has Aviated

_° From a purely Canadian viewpoint, the most important point,
however, is that the United States publishing houses cannot be sup-
ported solely by United States forests. If operated to capacity, and
if wholly dependent upon the resources of New England and New
k, the pulp and paper mills of the Eastern States could exhaust
“resources in ten or eleven years. They must, therefore, draw
in the resources of Eastern Canada, of the Pacific Coast states and
British Columbia, said James White of Ottawa, assistant to the
airman of the Commission of Conservation, before the Rotary Club
ently in Vancouver. a 4
Despite the enormous demand and the unprecedented increase in
es, the United States production of newsprint has been practically
nary since 1913, hence the enormous increase of production, in
a. The Canadian pulp and paper manufacturing end employs
)00 persons. Obviously, it is contributing on an increasing scale
“our exports to correct the balance of trade, which is running so
y against us. <3

n 1910, Canada manufactured 161,000 tons of newsprint and
d 25,000 tons,” added Mr. White. “Nine years later, in 1919,
had increased our output 400 per cent. to 808,000 tons and our ex-

ports had increased 2,400 per cent. to 624,000 tons,” said the speaker.
In the year 1919-20, 80 per cent. of our exports of pulpwood, pulp and
paper went to the United States. These exports were valued at $113,-
000,000, nearly double the exports of three years previously.”

In 1918, the United States consumed 5,250,796 cords of pulpwood.
Of ths amount, 1,017,845 cords, or nearly one-fifth, was imported
from Canada, Quebec, contributing 70 per cent. and Ontario and New
Brunswick about 15 per cent. each.

“Canada is supplying about one-fifth of the pulpwood used in the
United States, about one-ninth of the wood-pulp and one-third of the
newsprint. Or, in all, our resources are supplying in the unmanufac-
tured, partially manufactured and manufactured states about 55 per
cent. of the newsprint used in the United States,” Mr. White declared.

“The next problem is: How long will our supplies of pulpwood
last? Eastern Canada has a sufficient amount for about 50 years at the
present rate of cutting and ignoring the annual growth.” While there
is a large amount of pulpwood in the prairie provinces the spruce and
balsam is widely scattered and mixed with popular, thus rendering
exploitation on a large scale almost prohibitive until further rail trans-
portation is provided, '

In British Columbia the outlook is much rosier. The investiga-

-tions of the commission of conservation shows that there is, in your

province, 385,000,000 cords of spruce and balsam and 28,000,000 cords
of other pulpwoods, such as jackpine, lodgepole pine, popular and
cottonwood, or 313,000,000 cords in’ all. Of this amount, about 175,-
000,000 cords of spruce, balsam and hemlock and 10,000,000 of other
species, are at present available. In making the calculation, 500 board
feet is taken as equivalent to one cord.

Laurentide Will Install Wireless Station
Plans are being discussed at present concerning the installation of
a wireless telegraph station in the plant of the Laurentide Co., Grand ,
Mere, P.Q., probably under the supervision of the Forestry Depart-.
ment, for the purpose of communicating with the company hydro-

- planes, and also to receive messages from the planes in emergencies.

Both machines have wireless sets which they do not carry at present,
but it would be a simple matter to install them, and Lt. Graham is able
to operate the wireless, as this knowledge was necessary during the
war. It is also possible that an effort to install a wireless telephone set
will also be made.

Lieut, Graham has been engaged in the work of defining the boun-
daries of the company’s limits by means of aerial photos.

Big Increase in Annual Production

It is understood that the production of the Spanish River Pulp and
Paper Company in the fiscal year ended June 30 shows an increase of
close to 47,000 tons of newsprint, groundwood, sulphite and board
and wrapping paper combined, over the previous fiscal year.

It will be recalled that the company added an additional paper ma-
chine to the Espanola plant in the latter part of 1919, and still another
early in 1920, so that the newsprint will show in the annual report an
increase of upwards of 21,000 tons for the year.

Evidently production has been maintained in an intensified form,
as the “Soo” mill, which is rated as a 220-ton per day mill, reached
a record of 258 tons recently.

It is understood that the annual report will show production of
approximately 160,000 tons of newsprint, 135,000 tons of ground -vood,
57,000 tons of sulphite and about 10,000 tons of board and wrapping.
The newsprint gain, which is the largest item of the company’s
production, rose close to 22,000 tons in the year, while the other items
of output shows relative gains.

Increasing Production of Pulpwood

Pulpwood operators are getting busy in Hastings, Haliburtou
and other countries. The high prices paid are causing many to take
out wood who never engaged in this line before. The call for the
various pulp and paper mills in the province is for more wood. One

Bright Publications on B. C. Timber

There has recently been issued by the Forest Branch of the
Department of Lands, Victoria, B. C., a booklet entitled, “British
Columbia Timber.’ In the publication which deals mostly with
the chief commercial woods of B. C., there are a number of splendid
#lustrations, one being a five hundred old Douglas fir tree. The
uses, strength and working stresses of B. C. timbervare given. An
important feature of the book tis the table of Strength Values which
appears in the appendix. Loren L. Brown, B. C. Lumber Commis-
sioner for the East, has just received at his office 1 Adelaide St. E.,
Toronto, a large supply of this interesting work for distribution,

Preserving the Timber that We Have
How Decisive Steps May Be Taken to Ward Off Famine in
Forest Products —Stopping the Rot

Why is the retailer not, as yet, the only logical outlet for wood
preservatives which are to be used by the brush and open tank
methods. Our experience in the past 30 years has proven that other
mediums must be adopted, which has also been confirmed on various
occasions by competitors who have likewise entered into campaigns
to get wood preservatives distributed through the retail yards, says
C. A. Wood Preserver Co. of St. Louis, Mo.

Last March when the Research Department of the Southern Pine
Association requested us to use our best efforts to stop the drastic
destruction of timber that could be preserved, we explained why the
retailers were not as yet the proper ones to co-operate with.

While many a manager or owner of a yard is heartily in favor
of the trade using a wood preservative, the employees of the yard, like
all of us, follow the line of least resistance and do not exert them-
selves to educate the trade to the use of a preservative, particularly if
said employees get their hands and clothes soiled in delivering some
wood preservative.

If every saw mill sets the precedent of advocating conservation,
in addition to making a profit on the operation, by preserving the tim-
bers that they themselves use, it will be only a question of a short
time when the consumer will ask the retailer for a preservative. You
know, when a man asks for a product, all the clerk has to do to make
the sale, is to agree with the customer.

Preserve the timbers you use in the construction of boats, barges,
docks, bridges, trestles, ties, platforms, sills, log cars, water towers,
shingles, etc.

The American Forestry Association in soliciting subscriptions
issues a bulletin reading in part as follows :—

“We are consuming lumber three times as fast as we are
procuring it.

“Experts: predict our saw log lumber will be gone in
fifty years.

“The bulk of the original supplies of yellow pine in the
South will be gone in ten years and within seven years 3,000
manufacturing plants there will go out of existence.

“White pine in the lake states is nearing exhaustion and
these states are paying $6,000,000 a year in freight bills to
import timber.

“New England, self-supporting in lumber twenty years
ago, now has to import one-third of the amount used. It has -
$3C0,000 invested in wood and forest industries, employing
over 90,000 wage-earners.

“Fire destroys over $20,000,000 worth of timber every
year and kills the reproduction upon thousands of acres of
forest lands.

“Within fifty years our present timber shortage will have
become a blighting timber famine.

“Forests can be protected from fire, regrowth can be en-
couraged, conservative cutting can be-practiced, reforestation
can be accomplished, but it takes from fifty to one hundred
years to mature a timber crop.

“Forest devastation must be stopped, lands now in forest
must be kept continuously productive, forest lands now de-
vastated and idle must be put to work.”

We had intended to add to the foregoing the importance of prac-
ticing conservation by preservation, but we are handed a letter from
the State Forester of Illinois, who, in commenting on the necessity
of preserving timber, writes: ‘‘Perhaps, after all, it is a legitimate part
of forestry, if we can make the timbers we are using last twice as long,
thus saving the timber growing in the forests.”

Any further comment on your part is unnecessary to impress you
with the need of your doing your share to stop that rot.

Budget of Briefs from Busy East

Gordon G, Scott, of Fredericton, N.B., has begun operation of his
new saw mill, which was erected in that city on a site of an old mill
burned some fifteen years ago. The new mill will be the first saw-
mill in New Brunswick to operate by electric power. Power will
come from a one hundred and fifty horse-power generator. The power
Six in-

hundred and twenty feet. :

Reports from the spruce bud worm survey party under the direc-

wood is subject to deterioration and decay, chiefly due to
ungi-or bacteria. These are the principal troubles we have
against and which prevail generally throughout the world in
-e or less marked degree according to climatic conditions. In
imates such as Africa and India the white ant is a serious
o contend with. On this continent we find considerable damage
m the hole borer (of the beetle variety) and the shipworm and
do. The various forms of decay and rot are governed by the
phere and position, for instance the life of a tie in Texas aver-:
about one and a half years because of the humidity, etc.; in
mtario six years and in some districts around Edmonton eight to

ne years.

Timbers completely immersed in water will last for many years,
e I have examined which have been found to be in good condition
iter twenty years, but where timbers are placed on the water line
wet and dry alternately they will rot in the course of a year or so.
sgraph posts will last much longer when they are used close to
place where they are grown, for instance a spruce pole used
in a few miles of its native soil will easily last eight or nine
‘ears, whereas an imported pole of similar character will not last more
1 four or five years.

_ There are some hundreds of patents for treating timber covering
methods and patent materials, the only successful and generally used
commercially are: pressure treatment, open tank treatment and
brush or spray. — .

considering the oil for these methods we find that the English
Ity, army and other government departments, American navy

the heading of “Creosote,” which term is very often used in

tes, etc. | : | :
In the selection of a suitable “Coal Tar Creosote,’ for the brush,

the following points have to be taken into consideration — specific

strate my point, take two well known preservatives, Major’s Car-

points are lower, they distill at a lower temperature and contain a
larger percentage of pitch,

I consider the pressure treatment commercially satisfactory for
ties and wood which is to be used underground in large quantities,
but for timber exposed to the atmosphere wholly or partially such as .
wharf or bridge timbers, posts and telegraph poles and cross-arms,
I recommend the heavy oil of the Letteney type, because the penetra-

maintain that when ten or fifteen pounds of oil are put into a cubic foot
by the pressure process it must injure the tensile strength of the wood.
It is extremely difficult to lay down any set rule, however, and one
must be guided by the numerous conditions arising, such as position
where wood is to be used after treatment, condition at time of treat-
ment,ctc.

The practical method of treating timbers in small lots is to take
the highest grade of oil procurable and dip in a tank heated to 150°
to 200° F. Heating the oil assists penetration. In hot weather with
lumber in good condition splendid results are obtained by merely
brushing the material on liberally.

Educating the Public Regarding Lumber Cost:
What Operator Has to Encounter—He Knows all About High Costs Many Month
Before the General Public is Called Upon to Face the Situation a

By Everett Andrew, Ottawa

The wail of the general public in Canada today is the high cost
of jliving, the builders grievance is the high cost of lumber, but the
lumberman’s complaint has got into a chronic stage, travelling a
lap or so ahead of the other fellow, and his worry now is the high
cost of Jabor. Old H. C. L., take it anyway you want to, gets you
finally, unless you’re a bootlégger, and no matter where the first
little root of H. C, L. starts, the public is going to tearn about iit
sooner or later.

In case of lumber production the public learns about it later.
The lumber operator who has to foot the first bills, stock his camp
months in advance with a wide variety of high priced foods, pay high
priced labor, and in some cases wait two or three years until! his logs
come to his mills and he begins to get his money back, figuratively
knows more about the cost of living months in advance than the
grouch who complains about having to pay sixty dollars for a suit
of clothes, and denounces the lumbering industry Jin general when
he comes to purchase lumber.

Some Dicissitudes of the Industry

Perhaps sympathy, and not harsh words, such as he uses, should
be the balm for his complaint, for either he is ignorant of lumbering
operations, or has a suspidion that the world in general is trying to
do him, or that ‘because there have been successful lumbermen who
have made money through hard work and foresight, that they should
give some of their profits to him. ne

“Profits,” yes “profits” is all he talks about when he comes to
pay sixty dollars per M. upwards for his lumber. Losses? Why he
spoofs at them. There are not any in the realm of his imag‘nation,
but again a Christian. spirit should be exercised, and he shou'd be
forgiven because in the lumbering industry, there are losses, big
ones, but they are not generally advertised, or referred to in the pub-
lic press or brought to the notice of the general public.

Fortunes have been made by families connected with the lumber-
ing industry of the olden days, and perhaps other fortunes are stiil
to accrue to Canadian lumbermen, but on the other hand the facr
remains there have been losses, big ones, and {in some cases they
have spelled disaster to more than one would-be lumberman. The
generall public apparently does not stop—or is too busy or disinterest-
ed to—and reflect on the cost of producing lumber; the risk attend-

ant to logging, the big expenses that must be borne and carried, and

the foresight a lumber manufacturer must possess. The public does’
not pause to take account of the cost of the operation, and it is ap-
parently because it “don’t know,” that it raves about the high cost of
lumber. Simply because a certain lumberman has accumulated suf-
ficient money to last him and perhaps even all the members of his
family for the rest of their‘natural ‘lives, is no justification for such
a man selling lumber at $40 per M. if it costs him that much or more
to produce. He is entitled to his fair and just profit, and an equit-
able return on his invested capital, just the same as if he had his

- capital invested in any other enterprise.

Some Things the Public Don’t Know

Victory bonds, a national security, yield 514 per. cent.- Steel,
won, pulp and paper stocks, yield even higher dividends, yet when it
comes to profits on lumber the public in general ties itself down to
bank interest. All it can see the ilumber operator is entitled-to is
three and a half per cent. They talk about days when limits “went for
nothing,” but intentionally or otherwise they seem to forget or “don’t
know,’ ’that it costs money in ground rent, stumpage, fire ranging,
government dues, etc., to “carry” a limit.

It is true that any limit increases in value, year by year; unless
it is visited by fire, or cut over, or a serious destructive insect growth
sets in upon it. On the other hand, it must be reckoned that the

_ owner takes a chance, (the public don’t) of a fire sweeping through

the limit, and destroying it completely, or damaging I’t so severely as
to render it unprofitable for further operation. Insect life, too, oper-
ates to a serious extent—but again, the general public “don’t know”
anything about it. All iit-sees is the high cost of lumber.

Though the lumbering industry is one if not the oldest of Cana-
ada’s staple industries, it appears that the forefathers of the trade
neglected an important point. It is the education of the public as to
jumbering costs, losses, and operation. Twenty and thirty years ago
the lumbermen of Canada regarded fire as their greatest enemy,

the lumbering industry. a> ~ ts abe!
Keeping Men in Camps is Big Problem
Let the kickers go out and acquire limits, and begin to learn tl es
game through experience by establishing their camps and getting in
their supplies. Next get their woods force and “keep it” and then ©
begin to get out their logs and cut them and sell their lumber. Then,
and not till then, will they commence to get a dim insight into what |
it means to“stick” in the lumber game. During their period of oper-
ation they will learn, (perhaps with sorrow), that there is somebody
in it smarter than them, and who, in the final analysis, can undersell
them and still make a profit, while they are operating at an actual —
loss. Such circumstances have happered, and they are going to
happen again. uk. a
At the present time in the Ottawa: Valley; and doubtless. atvis
just as applicable to the rest of the Dominion, the biggest, newest —
and most up-to-the-minute question, is “keeping the men in the
camps.” It doesn’t mean anything to the general public, but it means
thousands of .dollars per year to every operating lumber concern. |
There is no object or intention in disguising the truth either to the
operator or the public. Everyone possessed with common sense
knows that, without the logs being gotten out of the woods wid
brought down to the milt for conversion into lumber, production must
drop. Guided by the law of supply and demand, it is easy to. see
whereby prices must advance if the demand is great and the supply —

4 Lumberjacks Never So Well off as Today

_ The contentment of camp life and labor is in the Ottawa Valley
y perhaps the biggest of many difficult problems that lumbermen
to face. “How can the labor situation be gotten over?” is the
ain that has been heard at more than one executive meeting of
bermen since the war began. Still the problem remains un-
ed, and decreased production results. It is not that the com-
ies engaging the men, are not trying to satisfy them nor is it
the men themselves are not better treated and fed than they
say ten years ago. Lumberjacks today with half the salary they
etting, in comparison with the food supplied them are much
off than their forbears ever dreamed of being. Still under
improved favorable conditions to themselves they fall to pro-
ace, per man, per day, in comparison with what their ancestors did.
Villingly or otherwise, they are falling down on the job. Still they
cpect and are receiving higher pay, better food, better working con-
tions, than their sires of years ago imagined. And still they fail
produce. : .

Without telling any talés out of school or attempting in any way
scourage lumber operators; the day of the genu‘ne \umberjack
‘the Ottawa Valley appears to have passed. The years 1914 and 1915

hen forestry battalions were raised:in the defence of the Empire
ay be referred to as the period when the real lumberjack passed
out of the Valley. Previously there were good men in the woods
at produced results. The old lumberman’s spirit flowed through
eir veins and it was not a question of “quitting time” as it was
setting the work done.”
During the war years the drop in the quality or standard of
ods labor was noted. but lumbermen persevered, and carried on with
expectation that.some day the old hands would return. Lumber
companies in general did not attempt to prevent the departure of
their best woods workmen overseas in forestry battalions. They
thought it was necessary and in the best interests of the Empire as
2 whole and although they had a dim idea as to what might happen,
ey didn’t kick. Somehow or other they held to the belief that old
es would return, but today they are forced to accept their cup of
It is rather be-
cause they have to. »

‘Must School New Generation of Woodmen

Any. lumberman manufacturer or operator who still clings to the
ce cherished hope that real woodsmen who went overseas with the
estry battalions would, after the war, come back and take his
Jace in the woods, is “kidding himself.” The writer can if he cared
cite many individual instances of where the members of forestry
talions who went overseas are not coming back to the woods
e. Instead they are taking vocational training courses, as they
are entitled to, but the old lure of the “camboose,” the shoepack, the
“swaying spruce, pine and balsam, along with the joys of the “drive,”
are not sufficient to bring them back to the lumbering game. They
ate gone and the woods is the poorer of them, but that does not help
: lumber operator any. He has now on his hands the task of school-
a new generation of woodsmen, with the fond hope, no matter
t the cost may be. of restoring a generation of workers, who
ly know how to produce.

And the public is not worrying itself over problems the lum-
rman has to face.’ All it looks at is the price of lumber, and com-

plains because it is so high.

ckay, Australia; seconder, Mr. E. Battiscombe, East African Pro-

ordination, and dissemination of facts as to the existing state of the
forests and the current and prospective demands on them. To this
end it is of first importance that a systematic survey be undertaken in
each part of the Empire which will not only serve as the basis of
forest policy in that part, but also provide a means for reviewing the
forestry position of the Empire as a whole. (Mr. A. J. Gibson, India ;
and Mr. E. H. Finlayson, Canada.)

Organizations of Forest Industries—It is extremely desirable that
the Forest Authority should be in close touch and consultation with ©
organizations representing the interests concerned in the extraction
and utilization of timber and other forest products. (Mr. M. A.
Grainger, British Columbia; and Mr. W. D- Ellis, Colonial Office.)

Publicity—It is the duty of the Forest Authority in every part
of the Empire to adopt and encourage methods of education and pub-
licity in order that the people may be fully informed of the aims and
purposes of forest policy and may thus be induced to co-operate to-
wards its successful fulfilment. (Mr. C. E. Legat, South Africa, and
Sir Hugh Shaw-Stewart, Consultative Committee, Scotland. )

Distribution of Forest Plants.—The Conference have had brought
to their attention the advantages which have accrued in several parts
of the Empire from the wide distribution’ of forest plants, and desire
to bring the method of encouraging tree-planting by distribution of
plants either from government or private nurseries gratuitously or at
cost price, to the earnest attention of their governments. (The Hon.
E. Lucas, Australia, and Mr. A. J: Gibson, India.)

Terminology and Trade Nomenclature.—The following questions
should be referred to the proposed Forestry Bureau immediately on
its formation: , (1) Standardization of forest terminology, (2) correct
identification of timbers, and standardization of their trade names.
(Professor R. S, Troup, India, and Mr. P. H. Clutterbuck, India.)

Research.—A scheme of research work approved by the Confer-
ence is recommendéd to their governments for early consideration
and approval by them. This takes the form of the report form a
committee appointed “to prepare a draft scheme for the organization
of that research work which is essential to the progress of forestry,
including both the production and utilization of forest produce, the
committee to pay particular regard to the importance of avoiding
overlapping and of co-operation with existing institutions.” The re-
port deals with the organization and sub-division of research, with
the relation of the different parts of research to one another and to
education and practice, and with the subjects of research both gen-
erally and in relation to the needs of the different parts of the Empire.
(Professor R. S. Troup, India, and Mr. H. M. Thompson, Nigeria.)

Forestry Bureau—The conference approve the suggestions and =
recommendations for the constitution of an Imperial Forestry Bureau
which are contained in the report of a committee, and strongly urge -
upon their respective governments that they should contribute to the
support of the bureau as therein suggested. They feel that it will
be largely upon the work of such a bureau that the proper develop-
ment of the forest resources of the Empire will depend, and they
therefore cannot over-emphasize its importance as a part of Empire
organization. (Mr. R. L. Robinson, United Kingdom; and Mr. L.
Palfreman, Sierra Leone.)

Future Conferences.—The conference is convinced that the hold-
ing of conferences of representatives of the Empire on forestry mat-
ters is of great service. They desire to thank the Forestry Commis-
sion of the United Kingdom for causing the conference to’be assembled
and for making the necessary arrangements. They recommend
that the next conference be held in the year 1923, and that, if the
Dominion Government approve, it be convened in Canada. (Sir*=
Claude Hill, India; and Mr. F. D. Acland, United, Kingdom.)

No Relief of Car Shortage in Sight

Undoubtedly the most serious situation which the lumber trade
of the Coast faces today is the shortage of cars and, so far as can be
seen, there is no relief in sight, says a recent despatch from Vancouver.
The American railways have sent fourteen hundred cars to the Pacific
Coast to relieve the congestion, but when it is considered that the in-
dustry in British Columbia, Washington and Oregon uses something
like 17,000 cars a week under ordinary and normal conditions it will
be recognized that the fourteen hundred cars are only a mere bagatelle
and that they will by no means fill the gap. ; .

“This situation has now been in existence for the past two months
and it may be taken for granted that, unless some strong measures
are taken, it will be at least ninety days if not more before any relief
is afforded the industry in the shape of additional cars to move the
lumber and shingles that have accumulated. Efforts are being made
to repair some of the old cars that have been doing duty for many
years, but even were everything in the shape of flat car put into cont-
mission there would not be an adequate number to cope with the pre-
sent demand,

Lumbering in West is Hazardous

During the first six months of 1920, 10,285 accident cases were
dealt with by the Workmen's Compensation Board of British Colum-
bia. Of this number of accidents 73 proved fatal.

The greatest toll was in connection with the lumber industry.
Out of the total number of deaths 34 were cased through the various
lumbering activities, or an equal of 46 per cent.
tion with lumbering totalled 2.231. Construction work proved the
second most hazardous. In connection with this work there were 7/70
time-loss accidents, of which 12 proved fatal. Deaths and accidents
attributed to other industries were as follows: Coal mining, 549 acci-
dents, 6 deaths; railroads, 468 accidents, 9 deaths; iron and steel
Provincial Government service, 2 deaths; fishing
industry, 2 deaths; electrical. plants, 1 death; mining, 1 death.

A vigorous campaign has been carried on in first aid work, the
idea being to prevent injuries becoming serious. Often the most
trivial injury results in stiff joints, loss of “limbs and sometimes loss oi
life. The accident prevention campaign is being continually waged
and os proven very effective. :

“The lumber industry has had such a phenomenal growth during
the last year that it has absorbed a number of unskilled workmen,
which accounts for the large number of accidents. It is believed that
had more experienced men been available at least twenty-seven of
the fatal accidents would not have occurred,” he said.

Pembroke Company Gets Timber Limit

To a Pembroke company, composed entirely of responsible busi-
ness men, has come the honor of being the successful bidders for the
first timber limit to be sold by tender by the Drury Government.

The sale, which took place in Toronto, was attended by W. H.
Bromley, one time manager of the Pembroke Lumber Com pany, and
one of the most expert and best known Iumbermen in the Ottawa
Valley. Mr. Bromley and his associates will start operations imme-
diately to market the valuable timber.

The limit itself, which is reached via the Canadian Northern Rail-

way, lies west of Capreol, and comprises the Township of Champagne,

so-called in honor of Controller Champagne, of Ottawa. Besides the
manager of the company, W. H. Bromley, who, before the war, con-
ducted a successful lumber brokerage business in Pembroke, and who
went overseas with a Forestry detachment-and served in various im-
portant posts in the Forestry service until the war ended, the new
company includes the following local men: Jas. l'raser, Major A. J.
Millar, Frank P. Shepherd, L. M. Chapman, all of Pembroke, Ont.

Five Hundred Houses Needed in Hamilton

Assertion of Dr. James Roberts, medical health officer of Ham-
ilton, that there are but 62 vacant houses in Hamilton and that 16 of
these are unfit for habitation, has not been challenged by the army of
house hunters. What this class particularly wants to know is where
the vacant houses are.

“TI have always contended that housing and health run hand in
hand,” said Dr. Roberts.

“My advice to the workers of Hamilton is to economize to the
utmost, to save every dollar that can be set aside and to invest in
said the medical health officer of Hamilton.
“The average workingman makes the mistake of undertaking too big
a burden when he purchases a home. The ornate trimmings can be
dispensed with. What he should strive for is to get into a small home
of his own. The jurisdiction of my department does not extend to
the building of homes for workingmen. I can only point out the dan-
ger of overcrowding and congesting and advance a solution.”

Building Inspector Whitelock declared recently that more than

- 500 houses, the number suggested by Dr. Roberts, would have to be

bilt if the local housing situation was to be relieved.

“Already this year we have issued permits for 350 new houses in
Hamilton,” said the inspector. “Forty-three other houses were erected
in the newly-annexed secti6n in.the northeast end before it was brought
into the city. [ would say that the number of new houses to be buiit
during 1920 will be well in excess of five hundred. Besides these, we
have issued permits for apartment houses to accommodate at least
seventy-five families. There is a serious shortage of houses, but the
fact remains that many houses are being erected.”

Wood Construction Resists California Quakes
Recent earthquakes in California have turned the attention of the
nation generally to this type of misfortune and its results. In a gen-
eral discussion of these earth tremors in the “Scientific. Monthly, Dr.
Andrew H. Palmer has this to say with respect to the suitability of

‘various types of construction to such conditions:

Simple Way to Solve Big Problem
By “Pine Knot’

There are many well-seasoned veterans in the sawmiil
trade, to whom the suggestion contained in this article will
be not only a valuable aid to better work, but an eye-opener
as well. It is the experience of the writer that where trouble
arises with the sawing, the blame is laid on everything (prin-
cipally the saw) before the real source of the poor work is dis-
covered or acknowledged.

When I say veterans of the mill trade, I mean more parti-
cularly those men who have had a long varied experience in
the care and operation of large circular saws in sawmills that
range in size from the light powered mill relying upon the
capacity of an old fashioned over-shot water wheel, to the
very modern, up-to-date mill with its high pressure steam
power plant, and its steam appliances for operating the car-
riage, “nigger,” etc.

In the majority of cases these represent the best that
money can buy. The finest saws, and the most cleverly de-
signed machinery that human ingenuity and skill are capable
of producing, And yet, with all these facilities at hand, and

Fig. 1 Fig. 2

the skilled knowledge of an experienced operator to fall back
upon, it not infrequently happens that a new circular saw
from a maker who has acquired a world-wide reputation for
good saws, will disappoint both the owners and operators.

Notwithstanding the fact that the saw is perfect in ma-
terial, temper, and workmanship, and is fitted in the best pos-
sible manner by a painstaking and competent filer, they will
not turn out as large a quantity of well-manufactured lumber
as had been anticipated. The saw is sensitive, runs in and out
of the cut, becomes hot on the rim, and makes uneven lumber
—especially when the log is fed on the saw at a moderate
or fast feed.

Nothing goes wrong without a cause, and while there are
many causes for the saw not “standing up” as it should, the
odds are in favor of laying the trouble, in the case of a cir-
cular saw, largely to the saw guide.

A saw guide, while it may be held firmly in position, is not
always placed in the proper position. Usually it is found that
the guide has been placed too far below the cut, which allows
the saw to be deflected from a straight line before the guide
has really had an opportunity to support the saw. The guide
should be placed in a position that will bring the jaws as high
as they can be placed, and still allow the head blocks to pass
over (see figure 2). This simple change in the location of the
guide will enable it to properly support the saw, and prevent
its being deflected from a straight line.

In the small or portable saw mills, the builder, as a rule,
puts a 4, 5, or 6 inch collar on the saw guide so as to bring
the centre of the guide just on a line with the centre of the
collar (see figure 1). :

This is a method of placing saw guides in position, that
has been employed for many years. But years ago, a saw mill
man used a much thicker saw than he is willing to use now.
And while it naturally follows that a thick saw plate is steadier
and will stand up better than a thin one, consequently the
thick saw did not need as much support from the saw guide
as the thinner one, and the saw guide Was placed below the
centre of the saw. ;

If, instead of this, the guide was placed so as to bring its
centre directly in line with the top édge of saw collar, the saw

would get a great deal more support from the guide, and —
“stand up” better in making slab cuts. = a
It would be easier to operate, lessen the percentage of ©
miscuts, and give much better service generally for the work
of cutting is all done above the centre of the saw. While I —
have found some mill men who objected to raising the guide |
because of possible interference with knots, I can say, posi-
tively, that if the proper attention is given to setting a log
in position on the carriage there can be no trouble from this _
source. Turning the knot up carries it away at once, and after _
the first cut there will naturally be plenty of clearance.
During my early experience in the construction and repair-
ing of millions of saws I once spent two days carefully study-
ing out a mill where the circular saw refused to cut properly. —
Accidentally I discovered that shortly before the trouble be-
gan the old guide had been replaced by a new one. Repairi om
and setting up the old guide again, banished the trouble that) a
I had not been able to remove in two days’ search. Then af
and there I determined that I would always go to the guide ~_
first when called in to “doctor” a mill. I have gained alot on
of experience since that time, but to this day my first move
when looking over a circular saw mill is to note the position _
of the guide.—Disston Crucible. \ Acs

Quebec Inaugurates Aerial Surveys "a
Although the St. Maurice Forest Protective Association |
was the pioneer in the matter of employing aeroplanes for
forest protection, the work is now being carried out ona
larger scale by Price Bros. and the Laurentide Company.
The Province of Quebec, through its Lands and Forests De- a
partment, is also using aeroplanes, not only for protection
work, but for the purpose of surveying and mapping out the |
country by means of aerial photographs. ee
By arrangement with the Dominion Air Board the De-
partment has organized an aerial patrol and forest Survey
of the basins of ‘the Chamouchouanne and Mistassini Rivers,
covering 12,000 square miles. Already two machines have
been in operation since the first week of July, taking photo-
graphs of the forest conditions. At the same time they are
patrolling for forest fires. The Dominion Air Board expects
to receive soon an F. 3 flying boat from Engin’. ae e
carry ten passengers. In addition to the aerial patrol, the

ties travelling in canoes making also patrols and forest in-
ventory work. Mr. G, C. Piche, chief of the forest service, is
of opinion that this experiment will give satisfaction and
demonstrate that, for the reconnaissance of forest conditions
in the northlands, the aeroplane is the only vehicle possible.

The Minister of Lands and Forests, the Hon. Mr. Mercier, —
intends to fly from Roberval, which is the base for flying
operations to Lake Mistassini, and Mr. Piche will also make’
the journey. ;

Freight Advance to Atlantic Ports

Following recent arrangements by which export rates on the
Canadian railways should be kept on a parity with those in the United
States, an order lately received by the Montreal Board of Trade Trans-
portation Bureau giving instructions for the increase of freight rates
from Canadian shipping points to the ports of Montreal, Quebec, St.
John and Halifax, by which the Canadian Railway Commission auth-
orized the increase of such rates for export to equal those obtaining »
in the United States for export purposes. It was stated that this order
followed previous orders regarding increases in rates, so as to preserve
the parity between Canadian and American freight rates, and it was
iritended to see that export rates for the Atlantic seaboard should be
the same as export rates in the United States. This regulation, it was
explained, was necessary under the agreement, since if a similar in-

crease was not granted in Canada American exporters might use the

Canadian lines to the detriment of American lines, so as to secure the
advantage of lower rates.

Mangrove Wood Impervious to Decay

The wood of the mangrove tree which grows abundantly in
French Guiana, is said to be impervious to rot; at least, it has not
rotted under the severest tests given it for four years by a French
railway company. The grain of the wood is so close that it practically
excludes moisture and it has the further protection of a large amount
of tannin in its composition that prevents the invasion of insects and
protects it from mold, damp, etc. Its discovery is important, especially
to users of railway ties and telegraph and telephone poles. :

Utilizing the Waste Mill Slabs

The great increase in the use of paper and the resulting great
demand for pulp has opened up a very profitable new business for

‘saw mills in the utilization of the waste slabs.

Nearly all saw mills today either burn the slabs under their boilers
or simply throw them away. Now the more progressive and far-seeing
mills have equipped their plants with slab barkers. These will remove
the bark from the slabs and leave them in a condition ‘to be used by
the pulp mills. ; ; et

The result is that this formally useless by-product can now be

used in increasingly large amounts by making pulp.

Among the mills now using this barker, made by the Canadian
Mead-Morrison Co., Ltd., of Montreal, are the Jackman Lumber Co.
of Jackman, Que., Kellog Lumber Co., and John Lumber Co. of Maine.

There is now being designed a train of machines to make chips
for pulp mills right at the saw mills. There will be four of these
machines, the barker mentioned above, a chipper, a crusher, and a chip
screen. The chips will be sent to the pulp mills iz bales rather than -
by bulk.

Lost 1,500 Cords of Pulpwood

Mr. W. H. Russell of the Russell Timber Company, Port Arthur, —

Ont., recently returned from Ashland, Wisconsin, where he went in
his yacht PomPom ona search for a missing raft of 1,500 cords of pulp-
wood lost off Outer Island about the first of the month. On the return
ttrip the shore line was skirted for miles but no trace of the wood was

found.

May Use Bamboo for Paper Pulp

The scarcity of newsprint paper gives. special interest to,
the statement that edible and timber bamboo are both adapted
to the climate of the Gulf states and are ina position to aid
materially in the production of paper. The difficulties which
exist in transforming tropical grasses, reeds and rushes into
paper are said not to apply to bamboo; and bamboo, unlike
grows rapidly so that
the supply of paper material would renew itself from seasou
to season. Burma is one of the tropical countries where bam-
boo is very abundant and it has also necessary facilities for
transportation. Not only is the bamboo of rapid, growth and
some spécies attain a great size, even 70 to 100 feet in height
with trunks a foot in diameter, but it is often found in arid
localities which would otherwise be destitute of vegetation.

Lumbering Activities in Fraser Valley o> ea

Evidence of the important part lumbering and its allied activi-
ties slay in the affair of B. C. is afforded’ gy the many camps and
mills throughbut the Fraser Valley, B. C. Old timber lands are being
worked over again, and the world-wide demand for lumber and for-
est products which characterized the war period, and which still
prevails, is reflected in the volume of business being done in these
lines.

A typical mill is that of the Campbell River Lumber Company,
near White Rock. The concern operates several camps to secure its
own logs, and has lately increased its capacity fifty per cent. to 150,-
000 feet daily. The power is electrical with the exception of the
head-saw equipment. The company is providing cottage homes for
its married employees.

Another large mill recently remodelled and equipped with the
very latest machinery, electrically driven, is the Hammond Cedar
Company’s big plant at Hammond. This company also is helping to
solve the housing problem for its employees.

The Dominion Shingle and Cedar Company, Ltd., has revlaced

. the big plant on Lulu Island, near Eburne, burned down last Septem-
ber, with a mill equal to the best in the province, and operates 14
machines at Eburne and ten at other centres in the Fraser Valley.
The Abbotsford Lumber Co, has an output of 90,000 feet daily, and
specializes in large timbers for the rail trade. This concern employs

230 men.

The Beaver River Lumber Co., with a numinal capacity of 70,-
000 feet per day, tops the 74,000 mark some days at its mill along-
side the B. C. E. Railway some 30 miles northeast of New Westmin-
ster, and with a subsidiary concern at Sullivan employs over 100
men. Other concerns swelling the output include the Popcum Co.,
ten miles east of Chilliwack; the Vedder Crossing Co., west of Ved-
der Mountain; the Promontory Sawmills, Sardis; Clayton Co., nine
miles east of New Westminster; McLean and McKay Co., two
miles south of Cloverdale; which is opening up a new stand of
3,000,000 feet near the mill; Galbraith and Sons’ Lincoln mill, with
four miles of logging railway; Wolverine Co., two miles south of
Lincoln station ; Craig-Taylor Co., near Otter Station, with a capacity
of 60,000 feet daily; Anthony A. Rerrie Co., two miles north of Alder-
grove; the G. B. King Co.. operating at King station, which under
the new name of the King-Farris Co.. has lately acquired 125,000,000
feet of spruce and fir, including the magnificent tract known as the
Big Green Timber near Cloverdale; the Lombard Co., at Langford
on the B. C. E. R.. and a host of smaller outfits and shingle mills
scattered throughout the Valley.

Housing Problem Puzzles Vancouver

Commenting on a recent decision of the city council of Vancouv-

er not to continue the advancing of money on home-building, under

the province’s loan system to returned men, the Daily Province re-
marks editorially :—

City authorities are occasionally invited to take some action
against the advance in rents on the houses occupied by working men.
The city would be in a better position to intervene if it had not con-
fessed its own inability to provide cheaper houses with the money
offered by the Dominion at low interest. It has been explained that
houses so built and -sold without profit to families with payment

_-made as rent over long periods would cost the worker more than
he could afford to pay. The inference is that the working men can
better afford to rent houses at the present prices than to accept the
best terms the city could make under the most favorable conditions.
This is poor encouragement to investors to build houses to be rented
even at present prices, and no encouragement to workers to build
homes for themselves. It would have been well worth while for the
city government to take hold of this housing project and work it out
promptly as far as the money went, while labor and materials were
lower in price than they are now. Even at a later stage it was a
weakness to accept a partial failure.

Budget of Briefs from the West

The Napier Lumber Company, recently organized, and which
has secured limits carrying five or six million feet of timber at Kob-
silah on Vancouver Island, from J. Boal, is now busy on erection of

One of the most inexpensive forms of advertising, quite effective

roblem to be solved first is getting a mailing list that is both up-
re and containing the necessary information about each prospect,
the “Long-Bell Bulletin.”
1e information necessary will vary with each community, but
neral it will divide itself into the two general classes of town
e and farmers. Each prospect should be listed according to the
ngs he has or is iikely to plan. Prospective home builders come
t and probably wil! be the largest sub-division. Then there are
ospective customers for remodelling, for oak flooring, for barns and
mplement sheds, for farm fencing and for garages.
“Why qs so much detail necessary? You don’t want to send gar-
Jetters to men who have no automobiles and are not thinking of
‘chasing cars. A farmer who has just erected a new barn and is

A Western yard manager, although he sends out no circular

B. C. May Find a Market in Spain

ae ‘Representative for Spanish Paper Mills Seeks Pulp and
i Timber for Supplying Annual Demands

OMMISSIONED by an association which is consortium of
he all the pulp and paper mills in Spain, Senor Augusta Ramon-
FS eda of the Spanish city of Barcelona is investigating the pos-
wy sibilities of the British Columbia market as a source of sup-
_ ply for the paper mills of his country. Mr. Ramoneda arrived in
_ Vancouver in July, after having spent some time in Montreal and
Eastern Canada. While in the east the results of his study of the
possibilities of building up trade in pulp and timber exports from
Canada to Spain, led him to decide on opening an office in Montreal
under the name of Ramoneda Brothers. He was also able to conclude
the purchase of two cargoes of wood pulp for shipment from eastern
Canadian mills to Spain, which will be some relief to the pulp and
paper shortage which has become somewhat acute in that country.

The annual requirements of the whol« of the Spanish parer

_ mills run into 60,000 tons of pulp, all of which in the past had been
_ imported from Scandinavia. With conditions in the northern Euro-
pean countries M. Ramoneda is quite familiar, having frequently
visited them and made a study of their forest output. Prior to the
-war Austria was to a small extent also a shipper of pulp to Spanish
paper mills. Since the war there has been such a radical change in
conditions due to the acute reduction of the ordinary timber sup-

_ plies in all European countries during the period of the war, that to-
day no assured supply can be got. Demands have doubled from Eng-
land and from France, both of which countries denuded their ex-
isting forests of any commercial timber anticipating ordinary cut--
_ting by several generations. Germany is coming back to the posi-
tion of a customer for Baltic products and Russia is out of it for the

. present as a source of supply. Hence Canada can look forward to

a very greatly increasing her timber exports to all European
countries.

“I have not yet had the opportunity to examine your forests
_ though during the next few weeks I am proposing to spend some
time traveling through them,” said M. Ramoneda to the “Canada
Lumberman.” “T am not, therefore, in a position to express an opin-

_ ion or to make a comparison with the forests of the Scandinavian
peninsula, with which I am familiar, but from my trip across Brit-
ish Columbia and what I then saw, it seems to me that you are in
a very strong position in having such vast and valuable timber re-
sources.” SAG te ee
Regarding the possibilities of timber export to Spain from Can-
ada, Mr. Ramoneda was of the opinion that one thing which would

have to be arranged was straight cargo shipments. Piedad ip-
ments could hardly be arranged in the absence of dire t steamer
service. The same would apply to exports of pulp to his country
With regard to that, he explained that no single paper mill a
would be in position to buy cargoes, and as the shipment of
consignments was not possible, the expedient of forming a con:
tium of all the mills had been resorted to. He had come as
presentative of this organization, and as it was a merg
financial strength of all the concerns they were in position,
the agency of the Royal Bank of Canada, which was establ
Barcelona, to satisfy exporters as to their financial stand
respect to finances, Mr. Ramoneda pointed out that cash
of lading was hardly to be expected with such heavy pure
cargoes of pulp, running into millions of dollars. He thought Can-
adian producers, in order to foster- export trade to all E uropean
countries, not alone Spain, would have to arrange terms of edit.
He instanced the Scandinavian countries which had lw:
ed that practice, and had also been in the habit of shippin .
signment. In his opinion a fifty per cent. payment on bill of la ing
and the remainder on arrival of cargo was more the basis Car
exporters should arrange. __ . ? er

M. Ramoneda described the regular specification as to si
timber imported by Spain as 3x 9. That size had become.a fix
standard, and though considerable quantities had always been i
ported from the Baltic countries, there had frequently been
difficulty in getting the stock out to exact measurement.

a prime requirement in his country, where the trade had grow:
customed to it, and where all construction plans and measurem
were based upon the universal 3 x 9 size. From what he had
ed of the equipment of British Columbia mills he did not anti
any trouble in getting timber cut to the correct specificatior
of orders being placed. —) Se

A question the visitor asked, and one to which he st
give some importance was the possibility of shipping the pulp-

ng business from month to month. It would be exceedingly
and contrary to the dictates of good business, for the lumber
t to rely on these on the cost basis that covered his operations
n as late a period as the last six months of the past year. Even
his fixed expenses might be very little different from what they
‘some past period, the volume of business, for instance, which
be doing would have such a direct effect upon his costs that
ight be materially increased without his knowing it, unless he
check on them monthly.
jumberman who has accurate and up-to-date knowledge of his
derives a further benefit in that he does not have any misgiving
‘what his cost of doing business really is. It is natural for the
‘rman who does not know his costs to feel that he is doing busi-
little cheaper than the other fellow, and for this reason he often
he plain business courage to secure his orders at the price he
- Tf the lumber merchant knew all the time what his costs were,

~

Who Owns
Here is a man, for example, who owns and oper-
ates a large farm.. He bought it with his own hard-
earned money; on it he works ten to fourteen hours
aday. — ‘

Giving his whole time and strength to the work,
he finds it necessary to employ three farm laborers to
|. assist him in getting the maximum production.. He
agrees with them for wages and pays what they are
willing to work for.

But according to modern thinking, this system is
all wrong.

These three men ought to control the farm, de-
cide how much in money and produce should go to
the theoretical owner and keep all the rest them-
selves, These men are giving their lives for the work.
“If you deny them control of what they give their
lives for, you deny them justice.”. The owner is also’
giving his life for the farm, but of course that is dif-

ferent, he is capitalist, and exploiter of labor.

Does labor in and by itself give the right to con-
trol the profits? If men work on a railroad, does the
fact of that labor itself give the workers the right to
control the profits? Surely not, unless the labor it-
self furnishes a title to ownership. Is this true?

AND WOODWORKER
he would also know accurately the margin of profit between that and
his selling price, and would thus never work under the delusion that —
even if he did cut his price because of competition it would all come out
in the wash anyway and there would be in some way unknown to him,
a fair margin of profit left after all. Uncertainty as to the facts in just —
this connection has probably been the cause of more failures in the.
lumber industry than any other one thing. As a simple matter of.
fortifying himself, therefore, a lumberman should at no time have any
doubt as to what his cost of doing business is. He should know what
percentage of profit his price is yielding him, and how much his loss of
p rofit if he cuts his price. A sound merchant in any line does business
on certainty as to costs and not on doubt.
The present critical situation as to prices in the lumber
industry, together with the belief generally in the public mind

that lumber prices are exorbitant, puts the retail lumberman

constantly under the necessity of justifying his price to his

trade. In the light of this condition it will readily be seen that

the lumberman who has accurate knowledge of his present

cost of doing business, as compared with past periods, is in a

position to show his customer, if necessary, that the price he

is asking in excess of what his lumber costs him is in no case

exorbitant. Without this cost information, however, he is not

in a position to thoroughly clear himself as to the lumber

prices that now obtain.

The fact that lumber prices are high is in itself no evidence that
the lumber merchant is making money. Even under the prevailing
quotations he might, owing to the lack of volume of business, or other
reasons, ‘be actually losing money on his turnover, or at least making
far less than he thinks he is, if he is trying to carry his costs in his
head, or in his ledger under the single heading of “General Expense.”
In abnormal times like these, every lumberman, for his own safety,
should be more alert than usual as to matters effecting his cost of:
doing business.

Genoa Bay Mills loaded the American barquentine Alta with.
1,600,000 feet of lumber for South Africa early in August.

or does it now belong to the man who worked on at,
by virtue of his labor? :

To whom does the control of the watch belong?
Does the man who worked upon it, by that labor gain
the right to decide whether he will hand it back when
you have paid his bill, or sell it and divide the proceeds
with you?

a * *

The laborer surely has a right-to a fair, even a
generous, return for his labor. He has a right to
reasonable hours and good working conditions.. But
certainly his labor gives him no right to control the
industry since it gives him no title. to ownershp.

We are losing sight today of elementary economics.

We live under democracy, and it may be possible
to nationalize the railroads by legislation.. We might
then nationalize the mines and all other industries,
finally nationalizing our farms and giving all the pro-
fits to the hired farm laborers.

But let us be honest.

Let us not call it “industrial democracy,” for “in-
dustrial democracy” is concerned with the welfare of
all classes.

It is not even true Socialism.. It is really turn-
ing over the control and profits of industry to a single
class in industry for the sake of that one class alone.
We would call it American Bolshevism were it not
that those whose doctrine it is have their feelings
hurt when called Bolshevists—Boston Transcript.

just purchased the plant and mill
and are having it put into running
shape at once. It is expected to

year and it is anticipated that the
growing export trade will be
catered to. Demand from China,

America has been increasing very

Eight Hour Day Was Impossible

What the existence of a closed
shop and an eight hour working
day mean to many important
lines of industry was strikingly
illustrated in connection with the
recent strike of the workers at
the Chippewa Canal construction
job.

Mr. H. G. Acres, the Hydro hy-

draulic engineer, in his evidence

before the Government Commis-
sion, stated that he had made an

exhaustive study of the situation.

He said that on this job the eight
hour day would be impossible. He
gave some startling figures. On

the cable ways, production had-

fallen off 30 per cent. under the
eight hour day schedule which
had been introduced in an honest
effort to find what could be done.
Under the ten-hour day scheme
of last year 20,000 cubic yards a
dav had been taken up. Since the
eight-hour day had been put in-
to force only 6,700 yards a day
had been excavated.. “This is
not a direct result of the change
from the ten-hour day to the
eight-hour day,” he said, “but an
indirect result, in that we would
not get laborers to stay on the
job and get production.”

Last year it had cost 67 cevis
a yard to excavate earth. Today
it cost $1.38.

204 CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER |

Review of Current Trade Condit

Ontario and the East

Conditions in the lumber line are always quiet during the month
of August when many wholesalers are holidaying and retail lumber-
men are observing a mark-time period. Widely different reports are
presented by representatives who are calling upon the trade. Some
declare that practically no orders are being placed at all for stock,
while others say the impending increase in freight rates has re-
vived trade to a considerable extent and resulted in a number of
cars being placed that would otherwise not have been sold.

The retail dealers are looking forward to an active turnover this
fall as the farmers all have good crops and will be doing consider-
able in the way of repairs and extensions. It is also expected that
some fall construction will be done in various smaller centres
as the housing situation is becoming more acute all the while.

There is a fair movement in western stock and Coast represen-
tatives are well satisfied with what they have been able to place con-
sidering the season of the year. Shingles are holding their own and
so is the lath market. .

There is a tendency on the part of many businesses in other lines
to curtail production and unload supplies. This is in accordance with
the policy of looking to the future as no one knows exactly how mat-
ters are going to shape up during the coming few months in the in-
dustrial and commercial arena.. There are, however, practically no
pessimists in the lumber ranks. They believe that business will be
steady and firm this fall and that during the winter it will
attain unusual proportions. Prices on the whole have been holding
firm and, while there have been a few cuts in certain lines, the general
schedule of quotations has been remarkably well preserved.

Many companies already have gangs in the bush cutting for next
season. .It is not likely that the cut will be quite as large during the
coming winter as it was last, although some firms declare they will
take out a larger amount of- timber than usual. The exodus of
workers to the West to help farmers garner the bountiful harvest of
the prairies has robbed the mills at some points of a number of
helpers and it has been found difficult to procure labor in sufficient
quantities in certain sections. It is expected, however, that some of
these men will return in time to work in the bush.

The outlook for next year is on the whole good, everything point-
ing to a sustained demand for lumber and the maintenance of
present values. Transportation shows an improvement at several
points, but how long this will continue after the western crop begins
to move is problematic.

The demand from the United States has fallen off decisively
and only shipments in fulfillment of contracts made months ago are
going forward. ;

The market for hardwood is somewhat spotty. The planing mill
men and trim manufacturers are buying freely. Very little is going
to the American market. Brown ash is probably the strongest hard-
wood item. Birch is a trifle weaker but is not showing any sign of
a big drop. Maple is plentiful but is not selling and is about the

weakest item in the hardwood lists. Stocks of all woods are fairly

plentiful and are in prime shipping condition. The demand during
the next month or six weeks should be the biggest factor in deter-
mining the trend of prices.

In the softwood line the strongest feature is white pine, which
is holding firm. Spruce and hemlock have dropped slightly, largely
due to weak call. American yellow pine is being offered at reduced
prices and has something to do with the drop in hemlock and spruce.
The cut in the Ottawa Valley will likely be below normal and sev-
eral mills have been forced to close earlier than usual, through a
shortage of logs. ,

United States :

The lumber market has not changed materially during the past
two weeks and at some points trade is much quieter than it has been
during the last year. Reports from different centres show that busi-
ness has been dragging in many sections of the trade. Lumbermen
generally have been making a special effort to ship as much stock
as possible before the increased freight rates-went into effect, espec-
ially where customers were willing to accept the lumber. Many
buyers have also exhibited a desire to take all the stock they could
conveniently handle in order to avoid payment of the increase.

A cry has gone up throughout the whole business ranks of the

In regard to the hardwood situation, conditions’ were rather
weak while prices showed a wide range. Some stock was being push-
ed on a rather listless market.and further declines in the price level
are noted, in consequence, at some centres of the trade. One impo: .
ant distributing point, Cincinnati, reports some greater activity and
a larger volume of business than in previous weeks, with prices
about stationary. As a whole, though, the industries that are prin-
cipal users of hardwoods are operating on reduced schedules, their
needs are less and their inclination is to buy only for urgent require-
ments, regardless of price. Se jy ia

Birch is now moving very freely, znd is bringing good prices,

being a holiday period, and, as one authority recently remarked, it
would be futile to expect orders coming in on an extensive scale.
More attention is being directed to business for the coming fall and
winter, and plans are being prepared accordingly. ‘There is so much
turmoil in the political arena, the European situation, the Irish ques-
tion, etc., that the future is not viewed with the greatest amount of
confidence. There are no pessimists but the general feeling is to
adopt a middle course or conservative policy. There have been years
when the timber trade has been lively in the month of August, but
they have been few and far between, and as a general rule the num-
ber of fresh contracts has been very small. For about this time the
arrivals of wood from abroad are at their height; stocks have become
fairly plentiful, and selling is, for importers, the more urgent matter.
Consequently, if there is any sign of a weakening market, it generally
shows itself about this time. The middle of the summer has fre-
quently been a critical time for prices, and a-drop in timber values
during July and August has been -by no means unusual. But even
had it not been the first week in August, little would have been done,
as there is no inducement to negotiate; shippers have not weakened
in their prices, and the quantities already purchased are ample for
the time being. The main point is to get forward the fairly large
quantities already purchased, and there will be plenty of time to buy,
during the autumn months, whatever more is necessary for tne com-
ing winter.

The increasing advantage of cash payments nowadays when
the discounting of bills is so difficult has upset many of the regula-
tions about net terms or cash less 2% per cent., says an exchange. As
our readers know, 334 per cent. is offered for cash by some import-
ers, and we believe most would be willing to give a heavier discount
than usual rather than take acceptances. It is not that there is any
fear about the solidity of customers as a general rule, but simply be-
cause the action of the banks makes a cash trade to a larger extent
than usual, almost essential. In all directions the same conditions
are to be noticed. Several Finish shippers will offer goods at pounds

St. John Reports Logging Costs Will be Higher

Rather a stagnant spirit pervades the lumber business in the
vicinity of St. John at the present moveinent.. Very little, if any,
change has taken place during the last two months. No prices, which
are profitable, are being offered, buyers saying that conditions do
not warrant purchasing any stocks ahead or speculating to any ex~
tent whatever. The building trade in United States shows no im-
provement, cement and nails being extremely scarce, transportation
being, to a large extent, the cause of this shortage. Cars, even for
general movement of materials within each country, are very scarce,
and where there are no stocks of these materials, it is impossible to

build. Added to this trouble, the banks are refusing to advance.

money for expansion of any kind and building is doubly hit
until these troubles right themselves, no doubt very many works
of expansion and ordinary house-building will remain at a stand-
still. :

Rents are impossible to find in all cities, and it certainly looks
that in the near future a start must be made in house-building. Lum-
ber cannot be reduced in price and will not, as very little raw materi-
al of logs will be cut during the coming winter unless a change for
the better takes place, Logs certainly will cost more to cut in che
woods during the coming winter than during the past winter. Prices
of sawn stocks do not at the present wariant going into the woods,
and operators are now planning to do nothing this winter until con-
ditions right themselves.

The pulp operators are buying all the timber possible and hold-
ing it for the supply for future use. They are also paying unheard
of prices for wood and practically every contractor, who went into
peeling wood this season, is coming out with only half his contract
filled. Under these conditions, certainly, saw materials of logs will
be higher than ever. Stock of deals at St. John are not excessive and
the stock sawn and to*»e sawn are brought up and in the hands of
strong brokers well able to hold ror the prices paid, plus a profit.

The English market shows no change as stocks are plenty for
immediate needs, but no great surplus is on hand. If the car trade
keeps improving in England, considerable stocks of lumber will be
used and an old revenue will be opened up which for some time has
been closed. Wide stocks of deals are scarce and will demand a fair

are compelled to keep smaller stocks than usual, and some are adopt

because they realize the growing advantage of having their assets a

lumberman put it, “buyers aré not going to purchase this year’s ct

in England and the uncertainty as to the outcome of the Irish ques-

in a measure, came the welcome news that the ocean freight rate on
lumber had come down from 250 to 210 shillings per standard. Ia
the opinion of exporters it was about time that it did.

White pine lath was in good demand, but was not overly plenti-
ful. Rumors were heard that shingle prices were due to weaken, with
the arrival of shipments from the western shingle mills on the eastern
market. 4

Outside of orders, inquiries and prices, the general labor situation
was perhaps of as much if not more importance to the trade in gen-
eral than anything else during the last two weeks. This was largely
brought into prominence by the Board of Conciliation investigating
the conditions surrounding the dispute of the members of the Inside
Woodworkers and Factory Workers’ Union, and the employers, mak-
ing its award. The award, while it makes recommendations for a
forty-four hour week in the woodworking plants, does not specify or
grant any particular wage increases, though it recommends the estab-
lishment of a minimum wage scale.

While ‘four or five hundred workmen were effected at Ottawa
and fourteen factories, the importance of the award to the general
lumbering trade generally does not lie in either of them. The point
that stands out clearly in the dispute which has run since last Febru-
ary, and which sent the union workers out on strike on June 12th, is
that the Department of Labor has no power, under the Industrial Dis-
putes Act, by which, authority for the creation of the board is granted,
to enforce the award, It is a weakness, some say in the Act, but as
the legislation now stands, the heads of the woodworking factories
at Ottawa do not need to care a tinker’s damn about the award,

‘unless they want to of their own free will and accord. The manu-

facturers, while they have received copies of the award, continued up
to August 24th to stand “pat” and “say nothing” about whether they
were agreeable to accept it or not? After waiting a full week a
mass meeting of the workers accepted it and appointed committees
to try and get recognition of the union from the mills. The mills
didn’t say or do anything, as they adopted the right attitude and stood

_ “pat,” under the circumstances. In the first place the employers never’

agreed to the board, and while the Department of Labor appointed a
representative to it for them, they were not legally, of their own
choice, represented upen it, nor have they to take any cognizance of
the board’s finding. Without attempting to prophesy what may hap-
pen, it looked up to Aug. 24th that the principle of individual bar-
gaining instead of collective. bargaining would be adopted. If it
finally is, it’s a win for the mill owners, as one of the biggest points

in dispute between the workers and the employers was not so much

as to wages, as of recogniti.n of the union and the establishment vo.
a standardized wage scale. :

_ Woods’ labor was reported scarce, though good hopes were heid
out that the camps would be filled when the season’s cutting oper-
ations commenced.

The car situation during the last two weeks, if anything grew
worse, both as to domestic and foreign rolling stock. The general
belief was that the railway companies were utilizing their cars for
the movement of the grain and other western crops on both sides of
the border.

Conditions Quiet in Montreal—Prices Generally Firm
There is little business passing in Montreal. Here and there

wholesalers report a fair trade, but speaking generally, dull condi- _
tions prevail. At the same time there is a belief that there will be a

revival in the fall.

The outlook is for a maintenance of prices. There are reports
that some of the smaller mills are offering concessions, but that the
larger manufacturers are holding firm and even advancing quota-
tions. Manufacturers who have camps declare that there is likely
to be a still further advance for the 1920-21 cut, basing their opinion
cn the cost of labor and camp supplies. In their view, there is no
chance of prices dropping; there may be a slight recession for special
reasons, but the operating expenses will not allow of any permanent
backward movement.

The American market is slow, while B. C. products are quiet.
Lath has picked up a little.

The workmen’s housing scheme, so far as Montreal is concern-
ed, is a great disappointment. The second year has passed without

‘any definite action, and it is practically certain that nothing will be

done this season. Some provincial towns are going ahead.

Only a small quantity of lumber is going to-the U. K. The fall
in freights has had a deterrent effect, exporters holding their hands
for fear that there will be a further reduction. The British market,
too, is not encouraging. ;

Mechanical wood pulp is a very strong market, while sulphite is
very firm. The high prices are likely to continue for a long period,
due to the abnormal demand for paper, and also the high figure for
pulpwood.

ractising Golden Rule in Lumb
Some of the Relationships Which Should Exist Between Lumberman and his En
ployees, his Competitors, the Wholesalers, Customers and Salesmen — .

By W. C. Massey -

REALLY don’t know just what phase of this subject I .am
I expected to handle, but I presume a few shots on the ethical side
is what is required.

David Harum said the “Golden Rule” was to do unto the other
fellow as he would do unto you, only to do it first. I must confess
that there are times when a fellow is sorely tempted to follow David's
way when horse trading, but there are few lumbermen who are unvt
too big and too broad to do business on that principle. In fact,
there is no line of business in which all the men engaged will meas-
ure up to a higher average standard of citizenship than the lumbe--
men. In nearly every town you will find the lumbermen on the
school boards, city council and at some time mayor, on the bank
directorates, on the Y. M. C. A. boards of directors, at the head of the
building and loan associations, leaders in church and civic affairs and

to the front in everything that stands for the uplift and betterment.’

of the community.

Getting down to my subject I shall discuss briefly some of the
relationships tthat should exist between the lumbermen and his em-
ployees, the wholesalers and manufacturers, his competitors, the

travelling salesman, the contractors and his customers.

Find Right Man For Place |

Don’t employ a man because you can hire him cheap, but look
the fie'd over until you find the right man for tthe place and then
pay the price to obtain him if he can be obtained at all. Cheap help
rarely brings the best percentage of profit on the amount invested. If
you have to employ an assistant it is well to obtain a man, who, after
being with you a reasonable length of time, can run the business so
you can feel easy if you have to be away from your business a few
days at a time. By following this principle, as your business grows,
you have your organization which is competent and able to carry the
business on and continue its growth even though something happens
that you want to devote a great deal of time to other things. ‘Ihen,

too, you have an organization that is of itself making your busimess. -

grow. The article you have for sale or the price you place upon the
article will not make a’business a success. After all the one big eie-

_ ment in the success or failure in a big businéss is the organization

and the on'y way to build up an efficient organization is by using
good judgment in the selection of your assistants and employees and
then by treating them right and keeping them with you. The great-
est successes in the business world have not been the men who have

_ tried to know it all or do it all, but have been the men with the fore-

sight and ability to surround themselves with the right men fo1
their respective positions. Andrew Carnegie, Chas. Schwab, Geo
Little, Henry Ford, Judge Gary, and Jackson Johnson are eminent

examples of this type of man.

Encourage Your Employees

Treat your employees as working with and not for you. Let
them know that you are interested in their welfare Take them into
your confidence and give them a chance to learn the business and
advance. When they have done a piece «tf work well or in a shorter
time than expected or made a good sale, compliment them for it. And

at the end of the year if your profits have been good acknow‘edge
to them that you have had a good year and that they have helned to

Dealing With Wholesalers

In dealing with wholesalers and manufacturers do unto them
as you would always have them.to do unto you. If you have had a
car of lumber ordered since last March and the price has advanced
$15.00 per M you have a right to expect the mill to ship the car as
ordered both as to amount and grades and at the price at which you
purchased the material. On the other hand had the market declined

$15.00 per M you should not cancel the order for no other a.
than because the market has dropped. I have never canceled. al
der for the reason of a decline in the market. ; =

In my opinion the wholesaler or manufacturer should pre
the dealer upon whom he is depending to handle his products
carry them in stock. The condition in this respect is growi
from year to year.

Only a few years ago the plaster manufacturers would sell to any

‘so ago. They will not quote other’than dealers exce ot at a p
cents per barrel above the price quoted to dealers. This helps s
and especially when they will first consult you and on your a
quote through you and at a higher price if you suggest. I am
0 inion that a differential of 25 cents per barrel would be m
ly right. This would be a fair profit to the dealer and wou!
enough to make it interesting for him te go after the business. “
too, if you handle cement and carry it in stock and take care of all
the little and non-profitable jobs the manufacturer of the cement cer-
‘ainly ought to be willing for you to handle the large jobs and get a
living profit out of it. I want to say that the cement manufacturers
have co-operated with me excellently in my territory and the only
suggestion I would offer would be that they make th - differential
25 instead of 10 cents per barrel. I understand that y are j

it might be that if every retail lumber dealer would take the matter
up with the cement manufacturers they would establish a diffe

Trouble with Glass Manufacturers Sa
The only real grievance that I have had during the last year
with the manufacturers or wholesalers has been with the plate g
people. I do think thaat they should protect us on tare on
we are stocking their window glass, paint brushes, paint specialties,
etc., but they stubbornly refuse to do so. Worse than that, the
sometimes quote your customer at a lower price than they qu
you. For example, I wi'l refer to a specific experience I had recently
with a glass manufactring concern. We wrote for quotations on 2
bill of nlate and prism glass and corner bars and were quoted a price
of $514.00 on this bill. We also had exactly the same quotation from
another concern. Although we sold all of the other material Sn the
job the contractor wrote direct or prices on this bill of glass and
the first glass company quoted and sold the contractor the id enti ral
same list of plate and prism glass and corner bars on which th ey

quoted us $514.00 for the sum of $320.00. I am not taking c
tractor’s word for this, but actua!ly saw the invoice and toa!
compared it with the list I had them quote us on and found it to b
same. The contractor also advised that the other concern ha
ed him a price only a few dollars above that price. These quote
were in June and I wrote the concern a long letter with referenc
the matter and asked for some explanation. but they apparently

us and he simply denied that his firm had sold a bill of g'ass to amy-

not place any further orders with that house. Shall adhere to that
policy until it convinces us that it is willing to do the right thing °
by us. Our window glass business alone, would amount to much
more than all the plate glass that comes into our territory. We shall
make no effort to obtain the plate glass business inasmuch as we do
not care to handle it and take the risk of breakage without charging
a reasonable profit. It certainly would make a bad impression upon
our customers to quote even a reasonable profit when they had. as
good and perhaps better price than we on the same article. I be-
lieve that this policy on the part of a majority of lumber deers
would soon cause the glass people to tote more nearly square with
the dealer on plate glass, and at least not quote the customer a bet-
ter price than the dealer. I don’t believe that there would be any
less plate glass sold by handling same through the dealer, neither do
I beieve that the glass‘people woud have as much trouble with bad
accounts and slow collections. The manufacturers of plaster and
other articles have found this to be the case, why not the manufac-
turers of plate glass?
The Travelling Salesman

Treat the travelling salesman nicely. Even though you are busy
take time to give him a few minutes and treat him courteously. He
has a living to make for himself and family the same as you have
and selling goods is his way of making a living. And if he holds
his job he must produce the results. Always give him the order
rather than send it direct to the house. Even hold the order for him
whenever possible. He will appreciate it. If you send the order
direct to the house maybe the travelling salesman will get credit for
it and maybe not; anyway, it is an added prestige for him if he sends
Then the travelling salesmen cover a large
territory and mingle with many retail lumbermen and are always
picking up new ideas and if you give them a chance they will pass
some of them on to you. There is no better way to gain their good-
will and friendship than to give them your business and to hold an
order for them occasionally. I have saved many a dollar in buying
on the strength of information given me by the travelling men that
the price of certain items would advance so and so on or about such
and such a date I do not always advise buying something not need-

ed just to patronize the travelling men, but certainly you can do no

harm by buying your wants through them.

Treatment of Competitors

Treat your competitors on the square. They will usually reci-
procate by treating you nearly as well—not always, but usually.
Don’t forget the old saying, that every knock is a boost. Don’t knock
your competitor. Leave that for the other fellow to do. Knocking
won’t get you anywhere, besides it only tends to cause hard feeling
on the part of your competitor when he hears about it—and- nine
times out of twelve he will hear about it and you are lucky if it has
not grown larger by the time it reaches his ears.

It is bad policy for competitors to borrow from each other. One
or the other will do the more borrowing and sometimes the item re-
turned is not of as good grade as the one borrowed and both tend
toward ill feeling. Then, too, the man with the stock is entitled to
a part of the profit and the larger part of that. The better policy is for
competitors to buy from each other and do it freely when they need
material which they have not in stock in order to fill their orders,
but divide the profits—the dealer with the stock taking about 60 or

Get the Market Prices

Always put a fair profit on the market price of your goods—
the market and not the cost price. If a farmer stores $1.50 wheat he
threshes and wheat advances to $2.00, the next winter, most certain-
ly he will not sell it to you then for $1.50 per bushel, but he will ask
Lumber and building material are just as
staple as wheat. You have the same right to advance your stock
with the market as has the farmer his wheat. In fact, the principle is
correct. If the market declines and you have a large stock on: hand,
most certainly you will have to decline with the market or the other

_ fellow will get the business.

It has kept me busy this last four months marking price lists
upward every ten or fifteen days, but I try to keep up with the mark-
et—although this has been impossible of late. Some of our yard

' managers have complained that the new prices were so high they could

not sell the goods and that their competitors were not keeping up
with the advances. I simply took the stand that we had better hold
onto our lumber and shingles, etc., and let the other fellow clean up.
I have known of some of our competitors selling B and Better floor-
ing at $15 per thousand less than they could replace it. Now that
was mighty poor business. For my part I preferred to let them sell
all they had and then get a profit on the market price for mine later.
I find that we have made and are making money by following that

policy.

‘print paper contract with the Daily Express, of London, England, at favor-
able terms. In this conunection it is pointed out that the newspaper which
is one controlled by Lord Beaverbrooke, has been anxious for its newsprint
supply for some time past and the contract is satisfactory to them. while it
is also in line with Price Bros.’ policy of enlarging their overseas market.

» _ The Log Supply Co., of Montreal, were well represented at a dinner at
} Berthierville by the local Chamber of Commerce The company have spent
over two millions and a half in erecting a splint factory there, and naturally
prominence was given to this fact during the dinner. Mr. Hayes (president),
who with Messrs. H. Grier and Morris, represented the Log Supply Co..
offered to subscribe $1000 toward a hospital and to add another $1000 provided
that $5000 was subscribed.

The Grand Lake coal areas of the G. H. King Coal Company, the north-
field Coal Company and the A. D. Taylor Company have been purchased. by
‘the Miramichi Lumber Company for a price in the vicinity of $150,000 and
the three areas will be consolidated and operated by the International Paver
Company for the purpose of building up a unit for increased production dur-
ing the coming winter, according to a despatch from Fredericton, NB.

owners will sink extra shafts and get an output of over 200 tons daily.

: The Fraser Companies of Edmundston are making preparations for pro-,
ceeding with the construction of dams on the Tobique River, and putting up
a big pulp and paper plant at Tobique Narrows, a few miles from Andover in
Victoria County. The Frasers are now obtaining options on the property
and sufficient money will be raised to carry out the new project. The Fraser

‘interests are now about ready to start work under the charter that they ob-
tained from the New Brunswick Legislature at its last session, for a ten
million dollar development scheme.

‘The sawmill of Frank Bevan, located at Extension, a mining village six
miles from Nanaimo, was recently burned to the ground. The loss is
4 $60,000. : :
Millions of feet of timber have been destroyed by a forest fire which
_ swept along both banks of the Pelly River, B. C., for a distance of 160 miles,
according to reports.
More than 8,000,000 feet of lumber will be loaded within the next month
at British Columbia ports for the Canadian Trading Company of Vancouver,
for shipment to foreign points.

_ Burglars who moved a small safe half a mile at Horn Dean, near Plum
- Coulee, Man., secured only $20 for their trouble. The safe. was taken from
the office of the Winkler Lumber Company and was blown open halJf a mile
_ away. r
So far this season there have been 754 forest fires in British Columbia,
_ costing more than $71,458, according to the latest fire report of C. L. Cowan,
acting chief forester. “Conditions are somewhat improved, but are still
_ dangerous,” the report says. i
ae New companies have been incorporated as follows in British Columbia:
Ford Lumber Co., Ltd., private, $25,000, Vancouver; Bevan Lumber &
4 os ingle Co., Ltd., private, $60,000, Bevan, B. C.; Nigel Island Lumber Co.,

LEVIATHAN-AN
are constructed upon scientific knowledge, not —
guesswork — upon the principle of building a

material to fit the power service conditions, not —
making service conditions fit the belting material. ‘a

These belts are constructed of solid woven fabric, —
of tremendous strength and durability, so treated,
stretched and aged as to make a pliable belting —
material that is practically indestructible—has won- _
derful strength and tractiveness, toughness and
smoothness of running—and in which the ruinous a

ated. -

THE “LEVIATHAN”

is a general purpose belt of extraordinary strength and
toughness combined with pliability and smooth running
qualities that enable it to abundantly meet the maximum
power demands of heavy duty service in transmission, ele-
vating, and conveying drives. .

It is built to pull loads—to stand up and deliver any-
thing but the impossible. It is perfectly “at home” on the
heavy drags, under incessant loads, unyielding pulls, where
loads are intermittent, and in all conditions where the belt
must shoulder great responsibility.

Leviathan belts are stretched perfectly in their making
—doing away with the ruinous “stretch” (with its result-
ing power and production loss) of “natural material” belt-
ing, and thereby maintaining limit of machine production
through extreme limit of power transmitted. |

The combination of strength and tractiveness, tough-
ness and flexibility, built into the Leviathan, is found in no
other belting in equal degree. These are the belting quali-
ties so requisite in heavy conveying and elevating service
—also for heavy main drive, countershaft, jackshaft and
important machine transmission. On all such drives, the
Leviathan delivers the last ounce of power expected of it.

The power user buying belting for strenuous, arduous
and wearing Conveying, Elevating and Transmission ser-
vice, must come to understand that the ruggedness, tough-
ness, Strength and tractiveness, so vitally essential to best —
results in such service, cannot grow into a belt, but must.
be built into it. He will then understand why “Leviathan”
serves best and lasts longest.

The extreme tractiveness—absolutely lasting—of the
Leviathan, makes it enormously successful in drives where
the quality of the product depends upon smooth, steady
running. For Conveying and Elevating heavy or abrasive
materials, such as shale, stone, coal, sand, gravel and simi-
lar substances, the Leviathan stands supreme. The tough-
ness and flexibility absolutely required for this sort of
work, is definitely attained. . ;

___ It inevitably follows, therefore, that in these belts

An 825-foot x 36-inch x 6-ply Anaconda, installed
March 4th, 1912. Handles 1000 tons stone per day;
in as good condition as when first installed.

THE “ANACONDA”

possesses the material and constructive features that qual-
ify it in all manner of heavy duty and responsible trans-
mission, conveying and elevating service. It is a special
belt, made to meet the conditions of service wherein it
stands without a rival for producing unusual results.

A 480-foot x 24-inch x 6-ply Anaconda. Conveying
Hot Crushed Rock from Dryers in Cement Plant.
Carries 2000 tons per day, 24 hours’ constant work.

The Anaconda is the’most effectively waterproofed belt
made—waterproofed through and through—not affected
by atmospheric changes or varying degrees of wetness, but
retaining this quality during its life. Its special construc-

| tion renders it immune to steam, condensation of drippings
from ceilings and side walls, and where belt, pulleys and
‘ everything else is soaking wet.

The Anaconda is also highly resistant to the destructive

; action of chemicals. It is treated with materials that are

SF chemically inert, thereby counteracting chemical action of
acids, alkalis, gases, etc.

Tremendous resistance to heat—such as would wither
most belting—is another distinctive Anaconda quality.
; Wet pulleys tend to make belt slip, while high temperatures
produce excessive “stretch”—and also warp the ordinary
belt. The Anaconda operates equally well under any tem-
perature conditions.

The Anaconda also gives especially successful service tor Belt. Handles 1,750 tons Crushed Rock per day.

i , on heavy duty drills, grinders, turret lathes, saws and all
machines that use liquid cutting compositions; this by rea-
son of its immunity to heat, acids, moisture, etc.

A

4 The Anaconda’s wonderfully effective tractive qualities,
along with its freedom from “stretch,” insures it operating
a with unusual success under wet conditions at high speed,
£ both of which produce more or less ruinous slippage with
_ other belts.

BS “Natural material” belts are not equipped, either in ma-

terial or construction, to deliver the quality or quantity of
power, under varied and distinctive belt working condi-
tions, as assured by the Anaconda.

From the Atlantic to the Pacific in mills,
large and small, Waterous Machines are at
work. And they are doing it with all the
efficiency and economy that you might expect
from products with over three-quarter’s of a
century’s experience built into them.

From Bandmills and Boilers to Log Jacks
and Filing Room Tools, this same efficiency is
making for a higher grade lumber and the

224 CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER September 1, 1920

“New Model

Waterous
Band Mills

—A machine designed and con-
structed by engineers whose know-
ledge of Canadian Mill conditions
and requirements was absolute. You
can therefore, expect greater speed,
safety, ease of handling and general
freedom from trouble when employ-
ing this model.

There are ten sound reasons for
the Waterous Band Mill being your
choice. Here are three of them—It
is built in 8, 9 and 10 ft. sizes—one
for every kind of work. The upper
guide is raised and lowered by steam
—an accurate, easy and swift ad-
justment unequalled by any other.

Every part of the mill is de-
signed to make millwrighting
easy and adjustments and in-
spections can be made without
difficulty.

If you do not know the other
seven, a postcard will bring them,
together with full specifications.

* September 1, 1920 CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 225

Other Waterous Pro-
ducts are

Log Jacks

Log Deck Equipment

Sawmill Carriages

Refuse Conveyors

Band Mills—6, 7, 8, 9
and 10

Circular Saw Mills

Edgers—all sizes

Filing Room Tools
Lath Mills and Bolters
Log Chains

Log Slashers

Planers

Sawmill Engines
Power Plants Complete
Boilers—all kinds
Refuse Burners

For fast cutting, for accur-
acy, and with that ability to
stand up under hard service,
Waterous Sawmill Carriages
have no superior. Everything
that enters into their make-
up—frame, knees, log-seats,
dogs, setworks and access-
ories—represents the highest
grade of materials. Many
improvements, the result of
our long experience in this
work, characterize these
machines. Built in all sizes
for medium and large mills,
adaptable for rope or steam
feed.

There are no Waterous pro-

ably known than the station-
ary and portable boilers. Eco-
nomy in fuel consumption,
ease and convenience in oper-
ation, absolute trustworthi-
ness—these are their out-
standing characteristics.

We build various styles of
boiler settings, dimensioned
and designed to best handle
the various fuels used in the
sawmill. Let us specify on
your next requirements, as-
suring you highest possible
efficiency and most perfect
combustion. Catalogues on

The Best Hides
Make the Best Belts

In the selection of hides for the manufacture
of GOODHUE BELTING, we take only the
best grades.

These PACKER HIDES are well tanned and
stretched, the stretcher ends cut off, and only
that portion of the leather stretched goes into
' the belt.
That is why we can give 100% power effi-
ciency.

Our three brands:

“Extra” “Standard” “Acme
Waterproof” Are Unequalled

The “Acme” is made specially to run in wet
places, and is of exceptional quality.

We can solve your belt-
ing problems. Write for

Make Saws Cut
And Planers Hum

Your saws may be well filed, swaged nicely and
rounded perfectly, but unless your mill’s belting is cor-
rect you do not get an honest day’s work from your
machinery.

i . You will find potential assistance and an increased
| Pas . - output by using Graton & Knight Standardized Series
eee ~ Leather Belting. This series is composed of a number
of brands and types of belting standardized both in
manufacture and application. %

a! ay Why not avail yourself of the opportunity of calling
| inaG & K engineer and letting him analyze your power
transmission. You incur no obligation for this service.
Your power transmission must be right if your produc-
tion is going to be right.

|
|
|

Every G & K Belt will give rugged service because
BB sess it is built for this kind of service. Your saws will cut
7
4 : and your planers will hum a real tune when your plant
is standardized on G & K Leather Belting. |

Bain Log Wagon

or Lumber Truck

Especially constructed to meet the wants of lumbermen, these trucks have
given complete satisfaction in the many years we have built them. They
are not carried in stock as we make them of any required dimensions to

- guit purchasers. They can be furnished with Cast or Steel Thimble Skeins,
both being supplied with Flat Truss Rods. Now is the time to send in your
order for one of these sturdy, made-to-your-order trucks as a reasonable
length of time must elapse before we can make delivery of same.

Bain Sleighs and Bain Wagons are made from material thor-
oughly air seasoned in our own sheds. Good material is the first
essential in the construction of a reliable wagon or sleigh. Bain
wagons and sleighs are built in one of the largest and best
equipped, factories in the country,—they are scientifically con-
structed from good material. Bain Wagons and Bain Sleighs
stand the test of time.

The Bain Heavy Sloop Sleigh is our heaviest and strongest sleigh and is
built for those desiring a sleigh for heavy logging operations. It is fur-
nished without bunks, as most loggers prefer to make their own. It is fur-

~ nished with cross chain coupling or short reach as ordered. When used
with cross chains, the hind bunk swings same as the front, a king bolt being
supplied, as shown in the cut.

What Does It Mean
to YOUR Profits?

s According to your rules, those who work in your mill or fac-
tory, must report for duty at SEVEN O’CLOCK.
This does not mean that they may drift in, 5-10-or perhaps
15 minutes late—and let it go at that.

If say, 100 men in a factory lose only one minute each “ar-
rival” and “departure” daily, it means 22 minutes per week each
employee, or 2200 minutes for these 100 employees. This is 37
ao a hours per week—at say 50c hour—meaning a loss of $18.50
; weekly, bringing the total to $962.00 in the year—which must
come from the net profits. Pretty stiff price for doing without a
ore recording equipment—and this is apart from production
OSS. |

The International Time Recorder is the modern and reliable
method of checking each employee’s time, and stopping this leak.
It is our business to stop “time leaks.” We plug them tight.

Let us send further details.

Corbet Automatic Towing
Engines

Consider these facts and then decide whether you
can afford to operate your tugs and barges without a
Corbet.

It is operated entirely by one man. The Steel
hawser with which it is equipped will outlast the old
manilla lines 15 to 1. The automatic release and take
up valve prevents the breaking of the hawser and
the losing of the tow in rough weather——there is al-
ways an even tension on the hawser with no jerk. It
saves labor because the tug can be operated with less
men, saves money in cost of hawsers and saves
time because the tow goes faster.

Made in 5 sizes to accommodate steel hawsers

‘Belt (now Klingtite).

For Outside Drives—

The service given on outside
drives by Goodyear Klingtite Belt-
ing (formerly Extra Power) is un-
usual enough to be of interest to
every belt user.

Not because there are a great
number of outside drives—but be-
cause the outside drive is just about
the ultimate test of a belt’s ability.

The specially designed fabric of Good-
year Belting gives it the strength to
withstand brutal outside service.

But the best of cotton will rot and whip
to pieces outdoors if not protected.

So we have forced generous quanti-

ties of high-grade rubber through and

through the plies of Goodyear Klingtite
Belting, forming one solid unit, proof
against weather and ply separation, yet

_ flexible, pulley-hugging, efficient.

The special friction surface on Good-

year Klingtite Belts (formerly Extra

Power) grips through dust or moisture
and prevents. slipping.

How well these belts serve is evidenced
by this letter from the Beaver River Lum-
ber Co. regarding their Extra Power
At last report
(June, 1920) this belt was still in service

KLINGTITE—An All-Weather Belt

after 32 months’ use, when this mill was
burned recently.

In their letter the Beaver River Lum-
ber Co. say: “The belt driving the con-
veyor runs direct from a small engine to
the conveyor drive. It is subject to steam
and heat in the engine room and to cold
and dampness on the outside. Under
these conditions, there is no sign of de-
terioration and there is no slippage.”

The same testimony is advanced by
hundreds of farmers and threshermen
who bought Goodyear Klingtite Belts
(under their old name of Extra Power)

‘for severe outside service on the farm.

If you have an outside drive, by al!
means investigate Goodyear Klingtite
Belts. If you have any transmission
drive, let a Goodyear Belting man show
you how Goodyear Belts, which are good
enough for outside service, wili render
heaping value on inside work. Phone,
wire or write the nearest Goodyear
Branch and a man will call without ob-
ligation to you.

Modern Specificatinge

OST equipment of fifty years ago

has little place in modern industrial

plants. Improved methods are constantly

needed to keep pace with modern stand-
ards of production and efficiency.

Yet until Goodyear entered the hose
field, rubber hose was built in much the
same old-fashioned manner as it had
always been.

But Goodyear went into the foundry,
the mine, the paper mill, the railway, the
steel plant—studied the achaal conditions
industrial hose must meet in use.

Then new standards were set. A better
hose was developed to meet the demands
of modern industry.

The cover on ordinary water hose was
found inadequate to protect it against
the sharp objects over which it is con-
stantly dragged. In a great many cases
this cover was cut through and the hose

GOOD

destroyed one before it had given the
service it shoul

To prevent this, Goodyear Water Hose
is fitted with a thicker-than-usual cover
of exceptionally tough rubber. A cover
that prevents wear and gives longer life
to the hose.

Added to the good inner fa ns and
strong fabric, it explains why Goodyear
Water Hose has set a new standard fo.
economy and freedom from hose troubles.

The efficient construction and unusual econ-
omy of Goodyear Water Hose is characteristic
of all Goodyear Industrial Hose.

A man trained by Goodyear in hose problems
will call upon you without obligation. Phone,
wire, or write the nearest branch.

The Chemical Analysis
LEY * KD

Crucible steel making is far from an exact
science. A large percentage of heats go
wrong. If we made our own steel, we
would be under temptation to excuse un-
important variations from perfection and
work these “‘slightly off’’ batches into our
products.

But we don’t make our steel. We leave
this to the greatest crucible steel makers in
the world. And as we subject each saw
plate from the steel makers to minute
chemical analysis and physical inspection
and test, we can be and are mercilessly
exacting. °

Our metallurgists see that no “‘slightly off’’
batches of steel are used in Azkins Sterling
Quality Saws, therefore you can depend
upon their uniformity and efficiency to
give you maximum production.

time and labor.

With this device, larger loads can be taken down
steeper grades and eliminates the necessity for building
and operating long winding roads. It also saves the cost
of sand and straw hilling in upland logging operations. Used
by the leading lumbermen throughout Canada. Photographs

THE EDDY FIRE PAIL

A light, durable fire pail made of Indurated Fibreware in the big Eddy plant at Hull,
Canada.

A fire pail that is always there when wanted, because the rounded bottom necessitates
its being placed on rack or hook. It will not stand alone.

A fire pail that is leak proof and odor proof and will never bulge, shrink or fall apart.
Ask to see it at your dealer’s.

Stretchless and
Waterproof

“Gripoly” Belting is especially well suited

for the damp places in the pulp or saw mill,

and it will stretch less than any known belt.

In power alone the saving effected is suffi-

cient to recommend “Gripoly” to lumber

operation. Its remarkable strength makes

it a most desirable acquisition to the mill

equipment,

“Gripoly” is composed of 85 per cent. pure

camel hair and 15 per cent. long staple

cotton, solidly woven to yield a tremendous

strength and to resist the severest strain,

The edges are composed of triple twisted

strands, absolutely, indestructible, defying

the friction of shifters, guide forks, or flange

pulleys.

“Gripoly” is British made
by Lewis & Taylor Ltd.

“GRIPOLY” is Stocked and Sold by

- | civilization in days gone by and starting operations, has built up numerous prosperous and progressive centres. These men

aa have had faith, vision, confidence and optimism and their names are too widely known to require specific reference.

} Communities have been settled, land cleared, local markets established, railways built and business: houses and factories

will be present and many vital problems will come up for consideration and discussion.

hs Another significant event, advertising the Dominion in a manner never previously witnessed, is the recent tour of the dele-

Public spirit and broad ideals count for much. Patriotism and industry are’ not lacking, but in other matters, there should

It is easy to decry and demolish but to create and construct is a vastly different proposition. The final purpose and plan
must not be obscured by any temporary disarrangement or misgivings. The lumbermen of Canada are doing their bit and doing
it fairly and calmly. They are acting the part of the square man. In every line of endeavor the world needs the “square man”
whom the late Josh Billings described as “wun who mezzures the same each way and hain’t got any winny edges nor cheap
lumber in him. He is free from knots and sap and won’t warp. He is klear stuff and I dunno care what you work him up
a8 into. He won’t swell and he won’t shrink. He is amongst men what good kiln-dried boards are amongst carpenters; he won’t
- season-crack! It does not make any difference which side of him you come up to, he is the same bigness each way and the only
way to get at him anyhow, is to face him. He knows he is square and he never spends any time trying to prove it.”

Canada’s Display at Empire Timber Exhibition

Varied and Impressive Showing of Leading Canadian Woods—Interest Aroused in
Specific Uses of the Forest Products of the Dominion

Although it is hardly necessary to advertise the fact that Canada
is the largest timber-producing country within the British Empire,
it by no means follows that Canadian timbers are as well known
throughout the Empire as they should be. One of the reasons for
holding the Empire Timber Exhibition was to make timber-users
familiar with the products obtainable within the borders of the
King’s dominions and that purpose ApPucs as usefully to Canadian
timbers as to any others.

Users of wood are very conservative in their choice of material.
Different woods have such widely different properties that, once a
wood is found suitable for a certain purpose, it is seeking for trouble
to substitute another. In other days any change of material would be
avoided, but to-day the shortage of supplies and the high cost of avail-
able timbers has effected a change in the psychology of the builder
and manufacturer. As a result there appears a new spirit of inquiry
and a willingness to experiment.

The problem of presenting Canadian timbers to the notice of
prospective buyers from other parts of the Empire was therefore two-
fold. The questions were “what timbers should be shown?” and
“what could be said about them?”

After consultation with the officers of the lumber associations of
Canada it was decided that twenty-five kinds of lumber should be

exhibited. These species were as follows :—
White Pine Balsam Fir
Western White Pine Cedar
Red Pine Western Cedar
Jack Pine Aspen
Western Yellow Pine Beech
‘Vamarack Basswood
Western Larch Sugar Maple
Hemlock Paper Birch

Yellow Birch
White Elm
Rock Elm
White Ash

Western Hemlock

Douglas Fir

White Spruce

Iknglemann Spruce

Sitka Spruce

Not every one of these species could be considered of great im-

portance as lumber, but all are available in reasonably large quanti-
ties and some only require to have their particular properties appre-
ciated in order to become commercially important.

Rough and Smooth Boards Shown.

In order that visitors to the Exhibition should gain a useful and
correct impression of these woods the latter were represented both by
ciear boards and by boards containing such defects as would place

that Canada showed at this exhibition anything but a fair and correct

display of her timbers.

Canada had little to offer in competition with the beautiful tropi- >
cal woods which were shown in some other parts of the exhibition ~

in the form of interior finish, furniture and artistic objects. Canad?”
exhibit was necessarily less aesthetic and more severely technical.
However, by using columns and cornices of Douglas fir and other
Canadian woods and by placing the boards against a background of
not too obtrusive green material a certain amount of distincaes was
given to what was, after all, only lumber.

As regards information concerning the mechanical and ane Se
properties ‘of these w oods, Canada has the advantage over other parts
of the Empire in possessing a government institution in which these
are matters of experiment and “study. It was possible to include in
the catalogue exact figures concerning the weight, strength and hard-
ness of each of the twenty-five kinds exhibited. In several cases these
figures were arrived at from experimental work done by the staff of
the Forest Products Laboratories of Canada, and it is not unlikely
that the methods adopted by these laboratories will become the
standard methods in similar institutions now being developed in India
and Australia.

The question of the names of timbers is evidently one which de-
mands the-attention of the lumber and wood-using industries. The
Empire Timber Exhibition will have been justified if it has done some-
thing to reduce the confusion which now exists in the nomenclature
of timbers.

Model Houses of Canadian Woods.

Canadian white pine is commonly known as yellow pine in Great
Britain and it is certainly annoying to refer to an English book on
timber and to find—Douglas fir, see Oregon pine. Many other in-
stances of differences of nama were betrayed by inquiring visitors
at the Canadian Exhibit. It must not be thought, however, that the
English user is a greater sinner than the Canadian lumberman in this
respect. The custom in the west of giving the name of “larch” to a
white fir is only one example which might be quoted.

The labels on the exhibits and the entries in the catalogue of the
Canadian species gave the standard name of each species and also
the local and trade names, and it is hoped that some confusion may
be saved thereby in the future.

substance of a spruce log called forth a certain amount of surprise and
comment. :

“The demand for better kiln devine of lumber is due to several
economic factors which were not present just a few years ago. Thre
cost of lumber has increased greatly in the last three years until it be-
hooves the manufacturer to take more interest in the care of his raw
product, the price of which has bounded upward. Just to cite an in-
stance or two we might consider white ash of good grade which sold
for around $85 in 1917 and is now bringing upward of $300 per thou-
sand feet, an increase of 250% in three years. White oak and yellow
‘birch have jumped 280% in the last three years and practically every
other species of wood has soared in price. Be Ay
‘It does not take a great deal of figuring then to show that a ‘kiln
load of lumber worth from $5,000 to $6,000 with a loss due to improper
_ drying as high as 10% would make lumber decrease in value from $500
to $600 by just running it through the kiln. If only 1% or 2% of this
> loss could be saved in the drying it would more than pay for a good
kiln operator and would soon pay the cost of a good kiln.
-———s Another reason why the spotlight is being turned upon the dry
kiln situation is the scarcity of air dried lumber. This means the
- greener lumber must be dried. with the consequent extension of time
a required to evaporate the greater amount of water from the wood. In
i. other words, kilns that were serving an industry and giving excellent
results while using air dried lumber were found to have only halt

placed underneath the lumber causing the air to rise and pass through | |
it. The moist air escapes to the atmosphere by means of raising its’
temperature by heating coils while the condenser coils placed along |
the walls cool and condense the moisture from the air causing it to ||
settle along the walls. This air again is heated by the coils and cirey
lates through the lumber. I have not time to go into the methods of _
maintaining humidities within these various types of kilns, but in pass-
ing would say that in many cases no attempt is made to regulate th_
humidity or circulation, depending largely on the amount of heat that |

Basic Principles of Drying.

In order to dry lumber properly basic principles of drying should
be understood. When lumber comes from the log it may contain any- ° |
where from 35% to 100% and in some cases more of water, depending |
on the species, etc. This is made up of two kinds, namely, the water ||
which saturates the cell walls of the wood and is called Hydroscopie |
water. This makes up about 25% of the dry weight of the wood. The |
free water is the water which fills the cell cavities and makes up the |
remainder. This moisture must be driven off before the lumber can be —
used. There are many reasons why this lumber should be dried before |
using, and among them are: reduction of its weight, preventing decay, |
increasing its strength, and giving it a fixed dimension. Generally |
speaking, when lumber dries there is very little shrinkage until after al i
the free water is evaporated. From the 25% moisture content down-
ward, the greatest amount of shrinkage takes place and continues right,
down to.a very low moisture content. This factor of shrinkage then —
is the one that does the greatest amount of damage to lumber during |
the drying process.

Danger of Case Hardening.

In the process of kiln drying, the lumber is heated artificially and
the moisture is evaporated at the surface of the boards. The air
surrounding the lumber absorbs this moisture until it becomes satur-
ated, after which it must be displaced by drier air in order to keep up
the process. In other words, temperature and circulation are very im-
portant factors in the drying of lumber, The rate of evaporation of

38 | CANADA LUMBERMAN AND

the moisture from the surface of the boards, however, must not be
faster than the rate at which the water comes from the centre of the
board to the surface. Should this be the case, the surface will dry off
quickly and the outer cell of the board will become drier than the cen-
tre. Accompanying this rapid drying of the surface we get shrinkage
and when the shrinkage power becomes greater than the strength of
the wood, checks appear. If this process is continued the outer shell

of the lumber becomes dried and sets in an expended condition whic™

we term case hardened. As the centre dries down to a low moisture
content, these surface checks which were started in the early part ol
the kiln run, extend on to the centre of the board and result-finally in
honeycombing of the centre. To prevent the too rapid drying of the
surface, the air surrounding the lumber is kept at such a state of rela-
tive humidity that it absorbs moisture from the surface of the lumber
only as fast as it can come to the surface from the centre.

From the foregoing discussion it is evident that conditions of tem-
perature humidity and circulation of the air passing through the pile
must be maintained at. the proper points in order to properly dry the
lumber. After the moisture content of the lumber has dropped below
the fibre saturation point then it is safe to gradually raise the tempera-
ture of the air and lower the relative humidities until the lumber is
dried down to 5% or 8% moisture content as the case might be.

Steam is used almost entirely for obtaining the necessary tempera-
ture in the kiln, but it also plays another very important part in drying
lumber. Either live or exhaust steam is mixed with the air of the kiln
to maintain humidity. At the beginning of the kiln run, lumber should
be thoroughly steamed. This preliminary steaming heats up the lum-
ber to the temperature at which the drying is to start, without any
evaporation taking place and furthermore tends to neutralize the
stresses that were set up during the air seasoning. It does not open
the pores or dissolve the saps, sugars and tannins as is commonly
supposed. During the drying process it is quite often found that the
lumber has become case hardened or the surface has become over dry
and by steaming for about an hour at a temperature of from 10 degrees
to 20 degrees higher than the drying temperature these stresses are
relieved. At the end of the run should the lumber be found to be case
hardened it is possible to again steam it and relieve the case hardening.
The length of the steaming period and the temperatures at which it is
steamed, depends largely on the thickness and the species of the lum-
ber. If the lumber is steamed too often or too long, however, during
the run or at the end, the stresses.are very likely to be reversed. Quite
often we get discoloration of the lumber and in some cases brashy or
weak lumber results.

Essentials to Good Drying

How is it possible, now, to obtain good drying? The first essential
is a well constructed and properly operated dry kiln. By this is meant
a kiln in which the temperature can be regulated, and the humidity
cuntrolled, and where the circulation can be maintained at the proper
rate. The kiln building should be well constructed so that there wii!
not be leakage of heat around the doors or through the walls and should
be well insulated so as to be as little disturbed by outside temperatuie
as possible. A good workman cannot work without good tools to work
with and the same is true of a dry kiln operator. He should have good
instruments which will show him what conditions of temperature and
humidity he is obtaining in the kiln at any particular time and he
should have a complete record of the temperatures and humidities
that the lumber was subjected to during the run. Another point in
the proper drying of lumber,is to see that the lumber is piled properly
on the kiln trucks. Properly piled lumber will come out with a mini-
mum of end checks and warping while improperly piled lumber will
cause a great deal of loss in the best kiln made. It is very essential
also that the operator, who is called upon to run the kiln understands
the fundamental principles of drying. He should know something
about the structure of the different kinds of wood. He should be able
to test the lumber for case hardening, moisture content, etc., and
should know how to handle his kiln in order to get the best results.
He should keep records of the temperatures and humidities in each
kiln and know how fast the lumber is drying under these conditions.
These records should be filed for future reference. If anything goes
wrong in the drying of the lumber and no records are kept it is im-
possible to locate the cause. If, on the other hand, the record of the
drying was plotted in graphic form it would be very easy for him
to glance over the curves and note the cause of the poor or slow
drying. ;

Should Get More Attention.

The drying end of the lumber industry has not received the at-
tention it deserves. If the metal working industries paid as little at-
tention to their heat treating furnaces as the lumber industries do to
their lumber treating kilns, it is safe to say that they would be many
years behind the times. Better kilns handled more efficiently will
help to solve many of the production problems. A good dry kiln
is just as necessary in the preparation of lumber for manufacture as

“sthe heat treating furnaces are to the metal industries and should

receive the same consideration from the management. Upon its pro-
per functioning depends not only the quantity produced but also the
quality. Just like a high grade costly machine in a factory, it +e
quires continued attention by a skilled operator. It is also safe to
say that if more brain work were used in an operation in which many
thousands of dollars are involved, the loss commonly resulting in the
artificial seasoning process would be many times reduced and the
saving would greatly exceed the cost of this service and in addition
would ‘help to conserve our fast disappearing supply of lumber.

British Imperial Forest Policy

At the recent British Empire Forestry Conference in London,
attended by delegates from all parts of the Empire, it was emphasized
that “the foundation of a stable forest policy for the Empire and for
its component parts must be the collection, co-ordination and dis-
semination of facts as to the existing state of the forests and the
current.and prospective demands on them. To this end it is of the
first importance that a systematic survey be undertaken in each part
of the Empire which will not only serve as the basis of the forest
policy in that part, but also provide a means for reviewing the for-
estry position of the Empire as a whole.” - .

The destruction of forests in the United Kingdom during the
war for military purposes, says the U. S. Consul at London in Daily
Commerce Reports, and the dependence upon overseas supplies have
led to extensive reforestation plans and given stimulus to govern-
mental action toward securing a scientific forest policy based on the
economic principles of annual cutting of surplus timber as a crop and
provision for automatic reproduction, as well as the afforestation of
large unused areas.

It is urged that each of the governments of the Empire should
lay down a definite forest policy to be administered by a properly
constituted and adequate forest service, and a central Forestry
Bureau in London is recommended for study, research and reference.

Housing as an International Question

Not until comparatively recent times has housing been consider-
ed a national question. It has been regarded as a private matter and
each housing measure, for instance in Great Britain, has had to com-

i
4 ere

bat that conviction in securing the passage of any public measure

and in keeping it in force after passage. The housing shortage re-— .

sulting from the war, has, however, now made this a matter o first —
im] ortance,

\lthough such a congress as the recent Inter-Allied Congress |
on Housing and Town Planning, held in London, can be only ad-
visory and deliberative, the large numbers in attendance, ‘represent-
ing 25 different countries and the formulation of definite housing
programmes with plans for their possible acceptance by the various
governments, gives prestige and publicity to this vital international
Guestion. ;

i the. Ghadian National Exhibition, Toronto, has just closed an-
x other successful year in its history and the exhibits were more repre-
_ sentative i in character, wider in variety and more attractively arranged
a ‘than ever. Each new season sees some old firms dropping out, but
their place is rapidly taken by new organizations, and this year, not-
mee ending the highly-increased rents for booths, the number of ap-
plications was unparalleled.
~ ~The huge national institution is one of the best mediums and
_ greatest agencies for making known the manufactured products of the
re world. Manufacturers in all lines admit this, and each year the big
institution draws more widely than.ever. This was particularly true
~ on Manufacturers’ Day. The need of new buildings is being pressed
upon the management, and it is probable that next year there will be
__asecond Transportation Building, a Pure Food Building, a Temple of
ig Music and an Electric Building. Never were so many ‘motor trucks
displayed as this year, and the accommodation was painfully inade-
quate. Many exhibits were housed in tents and the Demobilization
Building, which was used, is altogether out of the beaten path. Then
~ no special efforts were made to direct attention to this or to the Auto-
| _ mobile Accessories Building. More accommodation is urgently needed
_ in the transportation line in connection with this modern means of
| locomotion, for the truck has come to play an important part in the
_ life, upbuild and service of the lumberman, whether he be manufac-
| a turer or retailer.
_ ‘Last year the Canadian Forestry Association had an important
| + display in the Railway Building, and allied with it was an exhibit made
by the Forest Products Laboratories of Montreal. The reason that
no display was made this year was that Wm. B. Stokes, who had
charge of the exhibit in 1919, is still in England, where he has been
attending the Empire Timber Exhibition, and Robson Black of Ottawa,
©. secretary of the Canadian Forestry Association, only recently returned
after spending some weeks in the Old Land, where he was ‘present at
the Imperial Forestry gathering. © .

B. C. Forest Products to Toronto

Bs One of the most attractive and imposing exhibits was that made
my.” by: the Forest Branch of the Department of Lands in British Columbia
under the direction of Loren L. Brown, B. C. Lumber Commissioner
_ for the East. The space occupied in the Government Building was 12

_ x 65 feet and the walls were of natural finish, western pine, ~ western

“spruce, western red cedar, Douglas fir, cottonwood, western hemlock
. and western larch. The panelling in these various woods was par-
ticularly effective and striking, and there were also shown pilasters,
cornices, plate rails and newels. Another interesting feature of the
_ __ exhibit was that of the various woods in cherry, walnut, light and dark
mahogany, fumed oak, antique oak, golden oak and other finishes. The
gy exhibit was largely the same as presented last year with some new
additions in the way of a hand-carved chair in Douglas fir and a
_ beautiful library table, both finished in driftwood effect. This effect
>’ is obtained by applying torches to the pieces when completed and
then brushing out the softwood with a wire brush. The chair and
table were the centre of much interest and those in charge had to
answer many questions.

B's ' At the rear of the booth were two fine specimens of deals of clear
Douglas fir and Sitka spruce, the former beitig. '3!x 15 x 32: and the
latter 3% x 12 x 30. The clear, even texture, nice grain and fine,

sentative industries in this line adorned the walls. Huge printed |}
signs proclaimed the fact that British Columbia in 1918 had an out- ©
put in pulp and paper products of $4,062,724 and last year $12,554,-
257. These statistics, are striking in this, not only when compared
with the output in other provinces, but they reveal that production ia
the pulp and paper line has within one year trebled itself so far as
British Columbia is concerned.

A splendid exhibit of an allied character is that of the Abitibi

Power & Paper Co. of Iroquois Falls, who have a large space in the © .

Dominion Government Building and display not only samples of
newsprint but various photographs, showing every operation in the
manufacture of chemical and mechanical pulp, newsprint, etc. Some
idea of the picturesque and inviting character of the town of Iroquois
Falls may be gained by a glance at the views, showing the ©
streets, parks, boulevards, houses of the workmen and public build-
ings. T. H. Wilkes, superintendent of the Fire Protection Depart-
ment of the company, is in charge of the exhibit. Several logging ©
scenes are also presented, showing the method by which pulpwood is |
cut and driven to the mills. There are also shown specimens of the
block spruce, Norway spruce and white spruce. The company have
about 50 acres cleared and devoted to a nursery, and everything is —
being done in the way of devoting attention to the reforestration
problems. Some interesting figures, which were shown, tell better
than anything else the rapid development of the Abitibi Company. |
In the Woods & Forest Branch the wages paid out annually are
$1,536,198; men employed, 1,200; number of cords of wood cut, |

put of newsprint is 75,000 tons, groundwood pulp, 35,000 tons; sul-

phite, 25,000 tons, and number of men employed 2,500, with an an- ||

nual wage bill of $3,085,518. The company is increasing production
as follows: For 1921 newsprint from 250 tons daily to 500 tons, —

groundwood pulp from 320 tons to 550 tons, sulphite pulp 137 tons a

to 175 tons.

How White Pine Blister is Being Comb

Protective Measures Adopted for Exterminating Pest—Need of Arousing Public in’
United Action Against Disease Which is Creating Havoc 7

It is interesting to note what has been done in connection with
the white pine blister rust campaign as conducted by the division
of botany of the forestry department, Ottawa. An instructive mem-
orandum has been sent out by the Canadian Lumbermen’s Associ-
ation, Ottawa, in regard to what has been carried out and is in part
as follows:

1. A limited amount of scouting for the presence of the blister
rust fungus on currants and gooseberries was done in Timiskaming
and Kenora districts, Province of Ontario, and in. the Province of
Alberta. The fact that the fungus was not found in these localities
is not to be taken as evidence that it does not exist there. The terri-
tory covered was too limited to substantiate any definite conclusions.

2. Surveys in Simcoe, Haliburton, Hastings and Renfrew Coun-
ties and Muskoka district, Province of Ontario, showed that the fun-

; gus was commonly present in Renfrew county, sparingly present in
Hastings, Simcoe and Muskoka, but was not found in northern Hali-

| burton county, although currants and gooseberries were examined in

21 localities in that country.

3. Five central:areas, planned to be kept under observation for
at least 15 years have been established. These areas should furnish
data in time upon the effectiveness of the removal of currants and
gooseberries from within and around a pine woodlot for a distance of

f ~ 500 yards.

ft
{

4. The surveys of 35 pine woodland areas in the Niagara Penin-
sula, around Oakville and in Somcoe county conducted in 1918 and
checked in 1919, showed that:

(a) While an average of about 2% of the trees examined

were infected, in a few cases as high as 20% and 30% of the

trees in some woodlots are infected.

(b) No increase in the number of diseased trees was found

in 1919 over the number found in 1918.

5. The Destructive Insect and Pest Act was amended (1) to
-permit the importation of currants and gooseberries into the Province
of Ontario from the State of New York, and (2) to prohibit the ship-

* ment of five-leaved pines, and currant and gooseberries (not includ-

ing their fruit) from east of the western border of Saskatchewan into
Alberta and British Columbia.

6. At a meeting of persons interested in the white pine blister

‘rust, held in Portland, Oregon, April 23-24, 1919, under the auspices
of the’ Advisory Board of the American Phytopathological Society,
the Division of Botany was represented by Mr. W. A. MeCubbin. .A

mine if the blister rust fungus was present in that province, He ar-

an adequate survey and furthermore he saw fit to resign on September
Ist, thus nullifying any results worth while. He examined a total of
1,600 currants in five districts but found no rust.

2. An inspector was sent to make a survey of Timiskaming and
Kenora districts. Only 17 properties were examined in six town-
ships and thus the fact that the fungus was not found is not evidence
that it has not spread into these districts. .

3. Inspectors were sent into Simcoe, Haliburton, Hastings and
Renfrew counties and Muskoka district in the Province of Ontario.

minion Forest Service, Kamloops, B-C., and Mr. J. W. Bastham,

- The most important question for the west was recognized to be

atter was discussed at great length. Dr. Metcalfe explained the

nadian quarantines were also dealt with. The state quarantines
then taken up and after much discussion the conference unani-
sly agreed on the several points which are covered (see appendix).
eneral feeling of the meeting was that there were not sufficient
‘and provincial quarantine regulations, and that in many cases
‘the machinery for making these quarastine regulations effective was
so deficient that the laws themselves were practically ineffective. It
_ was also clearly emphasized that these state and provincial quaran-
; es are needed not only for the blister rust disease, but in order to
‘us to quickly meet any emergency that might in future arise in
ection wtih other diseases. Hence one of the most important re-
nmendations of the conference was for an effective state or provin-
quarantine with the necessary machinery for carrying it out, and
with emergency funds that might be devoted to sudden outbreaks of
isease. 4

Getting the Public Interested.

se ‘A considerable amount of discussion was entered about the ques-
on of publications, such as bulletins, circulars, news articles, etc.,
nd other means of getting the public interested in the disease so that
he public opinion would be at the back of the movement. In this
onnection also it was suggested, as pointed out in resolution No. 3,
hat the U. S. Circular Board circularize their express and shipping
gents asking them to receive no shipments of either white pines or
urrants from the east across the federal quarantine line, The experi-
ence of the quarantine authorities in California leads us to think that
“this will be a very practical means of preventing shipments which
ight otherwise escape the notice of the quarantine officers. —_-

Under the title, “How Lumber is Graded,” H. S. Betts, engineer

n forest products of the U. S. Forest Service, writes a very inter-
sting and instructive booklet describing the various methods of

grading lumber in use in different parts of the country, and gives a
esume of the rules adopted by various associations. In introducing
e subject, Mr. Betts begins at the beginning and explains very
tly the basis of lumber grading. He says: ~ .
‘The boards cut in a sawmill from logs of various kinds» vary
in quality. Some boards are very knotty, others have a few
, and still others are-clear. Some contain checks or splits and
ers have bark on the. edges or are somewhat decayed in places.
The clear boards are more valuable for most purposes than those with
ots, so it becomes necessary to separate the lumber as it comes
ym the mill into classes or grades. The lumber in these grades
ries in quality from practically clear boards in the highest grade
lumber in the lowest grade containing so many knots, checks, and
her defects that it is unfit for anything except perhaps temporary
construction or for cutting up so as to obtain small, clear pieces,
the defective parts being discarded,
“The use to which lumber is to be put determines the number,
- and position of the defects it may contain and still be satisfac-
In siding, for example, a reasonable number of knots on the
edges which are covered when the siding is in place may evidently

effective on both sides’ of the line, the situation is likely to be most —
dangerous. - 3 eg

Suggested Lines of Action. ’ Pass)

I would therefore bring to your attention the desirability of <
action along the following lines :— ee |

(1) The necessity of making a quarantine on the eastern border 4
of Alberta against all pines and Ribes thoroughly effective. The ex- |
perience of quarantine officers here as well as elsewhere indicates that —
many of our quarantine measures are merely sieves which hold back |”
the larger shipments, but allow countless smaller shipments to trickle ~ .
through in various ways. ah i

(2) I wouldconsider it advisable that those provinces which have
not yet provided themselves with quarantine acts be encouraged and —
advised to do so at the earliest opportunity, so that they may be able
to protect themselves not alone against foreign importations but |
against the introduction of diseases from sister provinces, and, as |)
already pointed out, it is very necessary that enabling acts passed for |)
this purpose should be accompanied by an adequate organization and — i]

an emergency fund, which need not be spent unless occasion arises.

(3) I would further urge the adoption of a policy of publicity. ras |
would favor the publication of bulletins, circulars, and préss articles 7}
which would reach at least the greatest proportion of the public-spir-

iy
ited and intelligent members of the various provinces, and thus create | )
a body of public opinion which would be in sympathy with any action —
that the department might be compelled to take. cs ||

(4) In further reference to resolution No. 8, which endorses the |
measures of protection already taken by the Dominion, I would sug- | Hi}
gest that the western situation be given every attention possible even —
at the expense of work in the east if necessary, since at the present a |
time the centre of interest in this disease from the federal point of view ||)
lies in the Province of British Columbia and the adjoining Prairie +)
Provinces. The work to be done involves besides a strict establish-
ment of the quarantine already mentioned, as careful a survey of the ©
western pine district as possible to see whether the disease ‘has yet
become established there. If it is, all future work may be dropped, |
and if it is not, then we may continue to hope that it can be kept from
spreading from our eastern districts. |

material. Covered lumber such as sheathing, should, of course, be —
free from decay, even if it does not show, as the decay is quite —
likely to spread rapidly. Door panels are an example of very high- |
grade lumber that should be clear on both sides. aoe |

Rules Deal With Defects

“The location of defects in a piece of lumber determines the
length and width of clean pieces that can be cut from it and the |
waste that will occur when the cuttings are made. Furniture requires |
comparatively short, wide pieces of clear lumber, while rails for *
porches and stairs require long narrow clear lengths. Lumber from»
which a large proportion of furniture stock could be cut might yield
very little -rail stock. The condition of defects may also influence |
the grade of a piece of lumber. Tight knots in certain grades of .}
siding or ceiling may be allowed, while loose knots likely to drop
out would be objectionable. x

<

“The grading rules in general use at present with very few ex- |
ceptions have to do only with defects and do not take into account |
the quality of the wood itself. That is, if two boards of the same |)
species are clear or if they have similar defects, both boards are |)
placed in.the same grade regardless of the quality of the wood itself. ih
As a matter of fact, the wood in one board may be dense, heavy, and
strong, and the wood in the other light and weak. For some pur-
poses, such as siding, ceiling, or finish, it may not matter whether
dense or light wood is used; but for other purposes such as vehicle
parts, structural timber, or flooring, where strength or hardness is

\

Mil
f i a prime requisite, the wood must be dense to give satisfactory ser-
ay . vice, ; )

“The rules at present used for grading lumber were prepared
largely by lumber associativns. The members of these associations
are made up of manufacturers and dealers whe handle lumber of one
or more species that grow in a certain region or are naturally group-
ed together. For example, the grading rules of the Northern Pine
Manufacturers’ Association cover four woods—white pine, Norway
pine, spruce, and tamarack—all of which grow in the Lake States
region. On the other hand, the National Hardwood Lumber As-
sociation, as its name implies, includes all hardwoods. Its members
are made up of wholesalers and manufacturers located largely in or
near the hardwood forest regions of the Eastern States.

“

Softwood Lumber Grading

“Softwood lumber, unlike hardwood lumber, is graded under a
considerable number of different rules. Not only are the different
kinds of softwoods graded under different rules, but the same kinds
are, in a number of cases, graded under different rules in different
_ -parts of the country and even in the same regions. Such a condition
causes frequent misunderstandings between buyer and seller and is
confusing to one not familiar with the grading situation.

“The various mills originally made their own rules to suit their
special conditions. While such a condition might be satisfactory
| where a mill supplied practically all the lumber used in its vicinity, as
» soon as mills with different rules for the same timber began to sell in
_ the same territory, confusion and dissatisfaction were bound to result.
_ As means of transportation grew easier and cheaper and lumber was
_ shipped greater distances from its sources, organizations of manu-

facturers and dealers in different regions drew up rules to enable them
| to handle lumber of standard sizes and with less misunderstanding as
_ to quality. By the use of such rules manufacturers could tell more
satisfactorily the quality of lumber wanted by dealers and the dealers
|e in turn could be surer that their orders would be correctly filled. These
ee first classified the various kinds of lumber products, as siding,
_ boards, ceiling, flooring, finishing, dimensions, etc., and then specified
|, the size and number of defects, such as knots and checks, allowed in
_ the various grades of each product.. At first the rules were campara-
_ tively simple, but they have been expanded, and new ones added to
ys cover special products, and the rules for any one product further
it subdivided until pamphlets of 50 or more printed pages may be re-
quired to describe the different grades, sizes and shapes of the vari-
ous standard lumber products of one kind of wood.

“The most common defects specified in softwood-grading rules

are knots, stained sap, shake, wane, rot, pitch, splits, and seasoning
| » checks. Insepection is usually specified on the better or dressed side.
_ However, factory lumber used for the manufacture of doors, sash,
» etc. which must show on both sides, is graded from the poorer side.
_ There is a tendency to avoid definite detailed specifications for the
_ different grades, especially in certain of the white pine grading rules,
_ where only a general description of each grade and numerous examples
\% ‘of pieces that should be admitted are given. Consequently the grade
_ of each piece may be left largely to the judgment of the inspector.

_. “Standard lengths, widths, and thicknesses of softwoods differ
somewhat in the various rules and also in different classes of ma-
| terial and grades in.the same rules. In some sets of rules standard

sizes are not listed completely.
a . Standard Lengths, Widths and Thicknesses

_. “The various lumber products to which grades are given by the
_ different lumber associations generally include finish, flooring, siding,
> ceiling, boards, timbers, fencing, etc.; and the numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4
/ > usually with the term “Common” are used for grades of common
ies lumber, boards, dimensions, etc. Other rules designate their highest
_ grades of finish as 1, 2, and 3 clear, either with or without lower
grades of finish material designated A, B. C. and D.

“Douglas fir is commonly graded under three sets of rules, one
_ for rail shipments, one for domestic-cargo shipments, and one for ex-
port. The rules are issued by the West Coast Lumbermen’s Associ-
} ation and the Pacific Lumber Inspection Bureau.
“These are separate organizations which co-operate closely.
The Pacific Lumber Inspetcion Bureau is in effect the inspection
i department of the West Coast Lumbermen’s Association. The West
Coast Lumbermen’s Association “Rail A” rules cover Douglas fir
_-and Western hemlock, which are graded together, and also Sitka
| spruce and Western red ceday, both of which are graded sep-
_ arately. In the “Rail A” rules for Douglas fir and Western hemlock
_ there is first a division made into a large number of classes of lumber,
as flooring, ‘ceiling, finish, common, dimension, timbers, etc.; and a
| number of grades are given under each class. The principal grades
» are Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4 Clear Selected Common, and Nos. 1, 2, and
' 3 Common. The grade No. 1 Clear, however, is given only in ver-
tical grain flooring and is practically free from all defects. Nos. 2
_ Clear admits a few small defects varying with the class of material.

Progressive Northern Mill Has Many Features

Plant of Indian Lake Lumber Co. is Fast-Cutting One and Possess Thoroughly

Modern Equipment—How Various Departments are Operated

In the more or less unknown regions of New Ontario several
lumber companies have been operating quietly but effectively for a
number of years. The sawmill owned by the Indian Lake Lumber
Company situated at Osaquan, Ontario, is a fast-cutting plant manu-
facturing not only lumber but a considerable quantity of railway ties
every year. The operations are directed by Mr. D. L. Mather of
Winnipeg, who has been a progressive lumberman in this district for
over a decade» The mill was designed for and built by Mr. T. F.
Wilson of Kenora, who is also the superintendent, and has constructed
six different mills for the same people at various locations.

This plant cuts during a ten-hour day about 3,000 railway ties,
20,000 ft. b. m. lumber and 20 cords slabs for snow fences. The
season’s cut is usually about 250,000 logs, pine, spruce, and tamarack,
from which approximately 900,000 railway ties are made. The mill
is linked up with the main line C. P. R by means of a two-mile,
standard guage, spur track, so that the company’s products are quickly
transported to the various distributing centres.

Perfect Alignment of Machinery.

The building is of timber construction throughout except that the
boiler house has corrugated roofing and sheathing, also a brick wall
separating it from the engine room. One of the outstanding features
in the construction is the great care with which the foundations and
footings were designed and put in place, thus ensuring perfect align-
ment of the machinery at all times. This alone eliminates many hot
bearings and other ailments peculiar to saw mills of flimsy con-
struction.

The power plant is equipped with a Waterous 200 horse power
rocker valve engine, a John Doty horse power Corliss and Robb-
Armstrong 15 K. W. lighting set. Steam is supplied to these engines
and the log handling appliances from two Waterous horizontal fir
tube boilers of 175 B.H.P each, at 100 lbs. pressure. These boilers
have dutch oven settings and are fired with sawdust conveyed directly
from the saws.” In the boiler house is installed a 15 horse power ver-
tical engine operating a return conveyor from the fuel house to the
furnaces. In the fuel house is stored all the surplus sawdust from
the mill and shavings from the planing mill. The feed water from
with the exhaust pipe from the 200 horse power engine. Two duplex
6” by 4” by 6” feed pumps, interchangeably connected are used, one
to supply water to the boilers, the other for fire purposes and water
‘works throughout the mill.

Modern Equipment of the Plant.

The machinery on the sawing floor comprises a Waterous heavy
circular saw equipment, steel carriage with 10-inch gunshot feed,
oscillating steam nigger, steam loader, kicker and bunt block. The
cylinders of these latter appliances are, of course, placed on the ground
floor. The lumber passes through a Waterous double edger with
bull edger attachment feeding to a trimmer of the same manufacture.
One special feature of the equipment is a larger horizontal band re-

saw, 10 in saw on 7 ft. wheels, built by the Diamond Iron Works.

sey ¥

The machine is so placed that all large slabs from the circulars are
passed through it, forming one-inch lumber. The slabs are returned
until every available board is extracted. Smaller slabs and those
rejected from the resaw are led into a pocket for loading as snow
the pumps is heated up to about 200 degrees F. by passing it, first
through an exhaust tunnel, then into a heater connected in series
fence material.

The tie slasher is of the overhead type consisting of three saws
spaced eight feet apart on a single drive. These saws also cut the
snow fence slabs into eight foot lengths. From the slasher the ties
of different grades are conveyed into their respective cars at the
loading platform by means of a’ special arrangement of transfer
chains and live rolls. Tie and slab ends fall into a refuse conveyor
from which they are further removed and piled out for use as house
fuel. The remaining useless material, such as thin slabs and edgings,
are cut up by a four saw slab slasher from which they are conveyed
to a cylindrical steelplate burner, twenty feet in diameter and seventy-
five feet high.

The filing room is équipped with a separate steam engine for
power, a Cavel automatic band saw grinder, two Waterous automatic
grinders for circular saws, hammering and rolling table, brazing table,
lap grinder and power forge, as well as the usual complement of
swaging and hammering tools.

The boom is equipped with a 15 horse power steam winch for
warping in logs and a Waterous marine saw for cutting up long tim-
ber into sixteen-foot lengths and crooked logs into eight-foot pieces.
The use of this machinery is an innovation with the company in the

‘present mill and has proved to be a decided success.

How All Logs Are Handled.
Logging operations are carried on by the same company in the

_ areas surrounding several lakes and rivers near Osaquan. ‘The
_ work is facilitated-by the use of three West and Peachey alligato:
re and an Adams gasoline pointer. In several places logs are driven

- dams and two log flumes. "The logging is supervised by Mr. Geo.
Leach, ably assisted by Mr.’ R. iS: W hite, who is also the night
“foreman of the sawmill during the summer months
_..._ In connection with the mill, mention might be made of the office
_ building, sleeping camp and boarding house also designed and built
~ by Mr. Wilson. These are two- storied frame structures, with plenty
i of windows and finished inside with V-joint material. The sleeping
‘S quarters are fitted out with steel frame bunks of the most approved
pattern, and in all the buildings is a continuous supply of fresh water
furnished by means of an Ericcson hot- -air pump drawing from a well
a: under the boarding house. The buildings are well heated in the win-
ter by furnaces in “the basements. Having clean and attractive quar-
ters and boarding house seems to aid largely in the retention of satis-
factory labor, for, considering the present difficulties in employment,
this company was successful in keeping without much trouble, two
_ shifts operating steadily all summer.

Bh Forestry Car is Splendidly Equipped
', | In speaking of the Dominion Forestry Exhibit car which has been
touring the Maritime provinces, a St. John, N.B., paper makes the
following appreciative reference:

Perhaps the most interesting thing shown is the number of things,
all made from wood. This includes samples of threaded pipe, sacks,
twine, telescope cable, combs, shirtwaists, stockings, and bandages.
_ besides the usual matches, jails and other well-known articles
“commerce. Another phase of the same thing is the exhibit of chemi-
cals obtained from the distillation of wood, acetene: acetic acid, chloro-

What Standard Lun Lumber ies Meinl

Representative Conference Will be Held in Chicago
Shortly to Consider Progressive Step sf

‘The need of standard sizes for all the different lumber products —
has been felt for some time, due to the exceedingly numerous and
constantly changing sizes, and the action of prominent Jumbe men
in promoting standardization presages another prograssive step in
the lumber industry. The United States Forest Products Industrial |
Research Laboratory at Madison, Wisconsin, has been co-opera
during the past year with the National Lumber Manufacturers’ As
sociation in working out an equitable basis for standardizing so!
wood lumber sizes. Some of the benefits to be derived from the stand.
ardization of sizes are as follows: . Ox

1. It makes possible a common language for all. The ‘consumi
can substitute one species for another with assurance of getting
terial of the same size, Similarly, if a contractor starts to buil i sev-
eral houses and orders his millwork, sash, doors ,etc., based on cer- .
tain lumber sizes as to stock around which the casing fits, kind
of wood can be varied as he desires.

2. Architects and purchasers can order more rapidly whe one—
set of sizes,—looking for sizes neq ttened throughout different grading’
rule books is eliminated. we

3. Material of standard sizes is more salable and by increasing
the consumer’s goodwill creates and adds value to the products. —

4. Building design is simplified, since fewer sizes can be used.

“a Uniformity in construction results, regardless of the grading
rules under which the material is purchased. anufacturers now

can not standardize millwork, etc., because it is dependent ee the
sizes of the lumber used in building.

6. Remanufacture of larger sizes to match smaller sizes will be
reduced and greater utilization with less labor and expense result.
The architect frequently designs a building in accordance with the
minimum sizes of lumber which may be furnished rather than on a
species that can be procured in larger sizes.

7. Standardization of sizes eliminates local legislation on a
sizes which confuse manufacture and distribution. Such Agepiasion
has been already suggested.

8. Standardization makes for fewer sizes and hence greater ef-
ficiency, ease and accuracy in lumber grading.

9. It equalizes competition between manufacturers, “because
present differences in overrun and freight charges are important fac-
tors in determining price.

10. It makes possible uniform practice and sizes in re-sawing

11. Jt makes possible a fewer number of drying schedules in t
kiln drying of lumber. At present the actual thickness of felis of :
the same and different kinds cut under the rules of different associa-
tions often varies several per cent. tm

The National Lumber Manufacturers’ Association has issued a
call for all manufacturers, consumers, and others interested to meet
September 28 and 29 at the Congress Hotel in Chicago, at which
time action will be taken on the standardization of sizes for all soft-
wood lumber.

Eastern Cut pars be much Reduced .

According to a well-informed lumberman, who operates ‘on the
upper tributaries of the St. John River, there will be a considerable
falling off in the lumber cut in New Brunswick the coming season,
as compared with last. There being practically no demand for manu-_
factured lumber, the mill men will be obliged to carry over a large —
part of this season’s products, and will not “be in the market, to any
heavy extent, for “season” logs. There is no call from Boston. or
New York centres, which have alwavs taken a large part of i >
John product. speheg 7

The cause for slackened demand is attributed to the fact ne :
builders are unable to secure other essentials entering into constrac-

tion worl, more especially cement. Us o

With his spiked shoes gripping the sides of the giant Douglas
_ fir and the weight of his person held by a strap around the trunk and
his body, Nick Nickson, crack toprigger of the Capilano Timber Com-
pany, freely swung his axe, 150 feet above the ground. Powerful
blows quickly made their impression through the thick bark and into
the heart of the forest giant. Presently forty feet of tree top leaned
over slightly away from the trunk and suddenly it hurtled far out
into the air and crashed to the ground. Another spar was ready for
logging operations for a thousand feet in area.
The feat of the Russian woodsman, his sang froid manner in the
st of such a spectacular accomplishment, was a sight that a few
“months ago created the wildest enthusiasm among the members cf
the American Editorial Association who witnessed it. Recently the
visiting members of the Imperial Press, Conference and their wives,
forming a party of nearly 150, were treated to the same experience.
_ The result formed an interesting comparison between the tempéra-
ments of the Englishman and the American. Both’ were undoubt-
edly impressed with the scene, which to the great majority was a
-noyel one, but they showed their appreciation in widely divergent
ways. A startled expression and a surreptitious movement towards
pencil and notebook, so that he could relate in realistic manner, this
_ splendid sight to his fellow countrymen, was the Imperial pressman’s
- way.
‘Then the Imperial visitors were given another thrill. A crew
__ of loggers attacked another great sentinel of Crown mountains. Ex-
perts upon whom, in the first instance, depend the lumbering industry

of British Columbia, with axe and saw, soon brought the monster tree

300 years before another tree like this grows to take
its place,” said one of the newspapermen, when the noise and dust
had subsided.
“There were 20,000 feet of lumber in the tree,” observed a writer
a trade journal.

Others were deeply impressed with the significance of the scene,
but they were not newspapermen and made no comment.

é Thus in their various characteristic ways the distinguished visitors
enjoyed the many thrills provided for their entertainment by Mr. G.
_ G, Johnston, manager of the Capilano Timber Company.

To the majority of the members of the Imperial Press Conference,
the day’s outing on the North Shore was an unique experience. They
- had heard much of the great lumbering industry of British Columbia

and had been prepared to expect much and if their comments on the
- conclusion of the day were a true commentary, the realization was
equal to their expectations.
_. They were given a close-up picture of interesting stages in the
: logging industry, not the least of which was the final passage to the
water of the trees they had seen felled on the mountain side, ready for
_ shipment to the sawmill.
In a logging train the guests followed a long line of great logs
along the company’s track to Burrard Inlet, and it was a revelation
‘to them to observe the expeditious manner in which cars of logs, many
feet in girth, were so easily tipped by a steel cable, operated by a don-
key engine, into the sea, with a great splash, sending the water many
Se feet ini the air. On one occasion the steel cable broke and here the
_ visitors were given a striking illustration of the efficiency of Can-
adian lumber jacks, for it seemed but a minute or two before one of
the employees of the company had spliced the cable and immediately
afterwards more carloads were being thrust into the sea.
& The visit to the Capilano Canyon was another unforgetable experi-
ence. Joyously Lord Burnham and his associates walked the swaying

_ bridge and like the thousands who have preceded them, specilated on

what might happen should the cable break. True, it may have been
- that His Lordship inadvertently referred to the canyon as a “gien,”

> The climb on the train up the steep side of the mountain was a
_ novel experience, the powerful engine overcoming the seemingly im-
possible grade after a struggle and great clouds of steam and smoke.
The scene at the point where the loggers were working loading’ the
cars with logs brought numerous cameras into action.
__It was a fitting climax to a day replete with such new experiences
- that another surprise awaited the party when a logger’s meal was
served at the bunkhouses of the timber company. It was a meal not
- soon to be forgotten by the excursionists, whose appetites had been
_ whetted by the mountain and an unusual exercise, climbing over
len trees and through underbrush. Piping hot soup and tasty veal
dressing, new potatoes, bread that invited another slice, fresh

cake, peaches, coffee, the aroma of which filled the room, butter that
had no equal, sauces and pickles of many varieties and other palatable
delicacies added zest to appetites that required no coaxing.

It was explained that it was an average meal served in the camp,
with the addition only of paper napkins.

The women in the party inspected the spotlessly clean kitchens
and were flattering in their praise. Everyone showered compliments:
on the cooks, and, after visiting the bunkhouses of the employees, the
management of the company received flattering words of commenda-
tion for the manner in which the men were accommodated. The
sleeping quarters, with their white, clean walls, comfortable beds with,
white sheets, and the beautiful flower boxes at every window in the
camp, every box with half a dozen varieties of flowers in full bloom, _
caught the favorable attention of every member of the party.

At the conclusion of the day’s trip on the North Shore, Lord Burn-
ham’s comment that, it was an experience and pleasure that would
stand unique among the many wonderful entertainments that have ©
been provided for his party in Canada, was one that it was quite evi-
dent from the general conversation, expressed the sentiment of each
member of the party.

New McGibbon Mill is Fire Proof

The new sawmill of the McGibbon Lumber Co., Penetanguishene,
which has been in full operation for some time past, replaces the
old one which was burned down last October. Although last winter
was a very severe one, the company managed to build the mill and
start cutting on July 3rd. It was erected under the supervision of —
James Warnock, a Scot of the old school, who is an expert mill- —
wright and mechanic. The foundation is concrete on piles. The lower
storey is built on 12 in, x 12 in. pine, and the upper storey, 8 in. x 8
in timbers, with a filing room on the third floor. The mill is as fire- —
proof as it is possible to have it, and is whitewashed throughout, with _

in every respect with slash table, modern trimmers and lath mill.
The capacity is about 60,000 ft. of long lumber per day, and 40,000
pieces of lath in ten hours. The power house consists of three 72 ||

Paper Salvage From City Rubbish

Thirty per cent. of the total weight of city rubbish, exclusive
of ashes and garbage, as proved by a recent test by a Continuous
Beater Company of Ohio, was a fiber suitable for making the coarser
grades of paper. The Bureau of Standards at Washington describe

this test. For it 70 bales of rubbish weighing about 37,570 pounds
were sent from Pittsburgh. The rubbish was not sorted except to

Specialist in Hardwood Lumber

J. A. R. Racicot is a member
of Boisse & Racicot, wholesale
lumber dealers, Sherbrooke, Que.,
which firm was organized about
a year ago. They have a sawmill
at Bonally Lake, P. Q., and have
recently moved into new offices
in the Olivier Building, King and
Wellington Streets, Sherbrooke.

Boisse & Racicot specialize in
hardwoods, in logs or sawn lum-

lock, beech, birch, maple, ash, elm,
basswood, as well as ties, posts,
shingles, lath, etc. The senior
partner of the firm, H. Boisse,
resides at North Stukeley, and
has been operating a saw mill at
Lake Bonally for twenty years.
He has a wide insight into the
manufacture of lumber with which
he is thoroughly familiar.
Mr. Racicot was formerly man-
ager of the Elmitt Lumber Co.,
Limited, and also managed the business of A. Trudeau of Sher-
brooke, wholesale lumber dealer, and six years ago Mr. Trudeau
presented him with a half interest in the business in appreciation of
his faithful service and valued work. The year following Mr. Racicot,
owing to ill-health, had to discontinue business for three or four
years, and it was not until last fall that he joined Mr. Boisse to
operate mills and conduct a wholesale lumber business.
The firm report that trade with them has been steadily increasing
' and it is their intention to erect another mill during the coming
season. A large portion of their trade is in Ontario and the U.S. A.
They consider that they are fortunate in having their head office in
_ Sherbrooke, which is the centre of the best hardwood district in the

r Will New Brunswick Minister Step Down?

Hon. Dr. E. A. Smith, Minister of Crown Lands, is said by an
eastern newspaper to be about to retire from the provincial govern-
ment of New Brunswick.

Pressure of private business is being given as the reason for his
impending retirement, by his colleagues in the cabinet. The journal
in question says, however, that rates of stumpage for lumber cut upon
the Crown lands and matters connected with the location of New

_ Brunswick’s first game preserve are the questions over which the dif-
ferences have occurred, causing the first resignation that has taken
place in the Foster Cabittet. One of the Government caucuses last
season was the occasion when the row over the game preserve was

_ staged, says the newspaper. “The location which had been approved

_ by Dr. Smith for the sanctuary interfered with hunting grounds and
other interests in Victoria county, and Hon. J. F. Tweedale, Minister
of Agriculture, after the matter had been often discussed at cabinet
meetings, took the question to the caucus as a court of last resort.
The result was a sizzling row before all the government supporters,

which caused a lot of talk about the lobbies. When the stumpage
question came up, it is said Dr. Smith personally favored a rate of not
less than $7 a thousand and it is even declared that, supported by his
deputy minister, he thus recommended to the Government as Minister
of Lands and Mines. The Government’s decision was a $5 rate and
Dr. Smith’s impending retirement is said to be the direct result.”
When Premier Foster was asked if Hon. Dr. Smith had resigned,

- he declined to either confirm or deny the report, and said he had

nothing to say in the matter at this time.

Working Out Plan to Settle Disputes

At the Annual Meeting of the National Wholesale ‘Lumber
Dealers’ Association, held in March, Mr. J. B. Montgomery, Pitts-
burgh, Pa., Chairman of the Arbitration Committee, submitted a
recommendation which was unanimously adopted by the convention,

‘ authorizing the committee to approach other lumber associations
with a view to working out a plan to arbitrate disputes between a
member of one lumber association and a member of another associ-
ation. The by-laws of most lumber associations cover the question
of arbitration disputes between their own members, but there is no
arbitration method covering disputes between a member of one

. association with a member of another association.

‘Jefferson attracted me from the outset. It was when I was
passing through the southwest part of the State of Indiana looking
over the possibilities of the farm trade in the lumber line early in
the fall of 1918, soon after Armistice was signed, that the future of
_ this-town appealed to me.

_ A prettier little place I had never seen among the rich
and rolling farming country on the banks of the Wabash. The
iral lumber requirements looked good to me and a blind man could
have visioned the rapid growth of the town situated as it was in the
neart of so prosperous a countryside.

‘I moved into Jefferson and opened my lumber yard early the
+ followifig spring and only a month had elapsed when I knew my
move would cause me no regret. True, building was by no means
in a healthy condition in those dark days, but I managed to take a
. part of the business that offered as the farmers and town people were
_ forced to do a certain amount of building and repairing to keep things
going till the silver lining appeared a little brighter.

Playing the Game Aggressively.

My competitor was well established and prosperous, his grand-
father owning the business before him and was the only retail lumber
- merchant in the town: before I opened up on the opposite side of the
place. A good future was before me and in that town and section lay
my bread and butter if I played the game right and placed my pro-
positions and business in a more attractive style than my competitor.
' | was a stranger to be sure, having only a few casual acquaintances,
but I was young and sure of prosperity if I chose to promote my
business along the right avenues. Everybody was prosperous: and
‘money. was being made as it was never earned before , and I argued
if, people could afford to pay ten dollars for a few minutes ride in
an aeroplane, why I decided it was up to me to show them a better
__way to invest their money and yet have something to show for it in
time to come which they would be not only be proud of, but which
would lead them to recognize the higher objects in-life,, of which

better homes and dwellings are among the foremost.
-. That summer brought me many friends-and my family became
as much attached to the town as I was myself. Many an evening I
spent turning over new methods in my mind for the extension of the
business and the most cherishing thought that passes through my
mind today is the fact that it was not all without reward. As I men-
tioned before, Jefferson was really an attractive and budding little
city. One of the most pleasing characteristics was the presence of
the cosy bungalow style of domicile which was very popular in that
section of the country. A large percentage of the residents of Jeffer-
son had moved in from larger cities with the opening up of several
plants and factories and with this new element came a wider view,
a better taste, and a new awakening which gradually manifested itself
‘in the older residents of the town. In describing this new life of
Jefferson which of course came about in a gradual manner, would
_ ~ say, it showed most brilliantly in the middle classes. The grass in
front of the houses was kept tidier, and on one street as I passed
along one spring evening there were no less than ten houses within
a single block being repainted by the dweller as if in competition to
his neighbor.

Pk

Got More Favorable Impression.
. It was these little surface improvements to the already pleasing
‘residential sections which gave me my idea as I walked down our
maim street one Saturday evening in company with my wife. There
‘was something about that street that puzzled me. After strolling
“a through other parts of the town which were already taking on that
Se up-to-dateness which is so pleasing to the first glance of the stranger,
this street was different not only because it was purely a business
‘thoroughfare, but it was not at all in keeping with the rest of the
town.
At the corner my wife spied a neighbor friend and crossed the
sidewalk to speak for a moment. I stood and looked down the oppo-
site side of the street, and as the thought had just entered my mind
ce I took this chance to exploit it. The general lines of the street were
those which could be found in any of the larger cities of the country,
put the store fronts looked old-fashioned and shabby against the
background of the other more modern parts of the town. The stores
e of that old, country store type, square, boxlike, with panels
ossinge the window area converting the glass into several sections.
rms just off the sidewalk were badly worn in many cases,

¢ etting Foothold in Retail Lumber Arena

How Enterprising Dealer Surcharged with Public Spirit Captured Trade and Brought

ie About Numerous Improvements on Main Business Street
By W. Arthur Lynn

while wooden pillars, which were entirely out of place, often adorned
the entrance, which is a typical feature of small town stores. The in-
teriors of others could be made much more convenient both for cus-
tomer and merchant in the rearrangement of counters, showcases,
etc., allowing for more floor space which would facilitate better dis-
play.

I went home that evening fully convinced that the storeowners —

could not only improve the appearance of our main thoroughfare,
but could also attract more business and increase their bank account
with an up-to-date store front. I realized from the first the necessity
of showing these men where it would directly benefit their interests,
and would unconsciously attract the public because of its openness
and bright appearance as compared to the old style front.

Good Front Brings Business.

My first step was to send away for some modern plans of store
fronts showing attractive color designs for the painting and decorating |

and illustrating the completed structure. My next move was the tak-
ing into confidence a contractor with whom I|’had had several previous
dealings, and of whom I could depend upon to see the actual
building end through to the best of satisfaction. Our next problem

was to pick the right prospect for a start, as a bad beginning has ~

often wrecked the most promising business chances. We spent con-
siderable time on this point, and at length agreed upon one of the
larger grocers to whom we would place’the proposition first, Armed
with bright plans suitable for grocery stores and fully convinced our-
selves of the mutual benefit to be derived from the alterations, we
called upon our choice, believing that if we could land this first

man who was well known as an honest and practical business man, _
no more than the usual trouble would be encountered with the rest. —

We placed our proposition with this man in a business-like manner,
suggesting the benefits which could be the only possible outcome of
such an improvement and giving him a good idea as to the ultimate
cost, at the same time visualizing for him the completed store front,
modern and attractive, increasing his window space which meant bet-

ter displaying, an opportunity he could not afford to lose in the ad-

vertisement of his merchandise.

The doors, illustrated in the designs, proved to be a good draw- -

ing card, as they allowed more light into the interior of the store

and were a decided improvement upon the old warped entrance which —

was passed the period when paint would cover the multitude of sins.
The tasteful colors, which the illustrations brought out to good

advantage, afforded an excellent idea of how much more attractive” f

the new front would be to the public eye, in comparison to the dull,
prison-like appearance of the present one which was defeating the
purpose of the business it was supposed to be in harmony. Of course
at first thought, as we anticipated, the merchant considered the sug-

gestion as entirely foreign to his interests, but after listening to our

further explanations in a broad-minded way, he assured us he would
give the proposition every consideration.

The first contract was secured a week later from the grocer.
Construction was started immediately, my yard supplying the lum-
ber, nails, paint, etc., of which I carried a side line of the latter, while
friend contractor did himself particular credit by turning out a first-

class job. Our first store front completed, certainly looked all we

had prophesied, and to help it along we suggested a big advertise-
ment campaign to be launched by the grocer, aided by a snappy win-

dow display. The merchant recognizing the timeliness of the sug-

gestion, spared no pains in the preparation of his window and distri-
bution of circulars, etc., at the same instant advertising our interests
{

in a model way. b
Business Rolled in Rapidly.

The following month we secured eight more orders for remodel-
ling store fronts, giving voluntary suggestions such as slanting win-
dows for the gents’ furnishers, encouraging the passer-by to step off
the sidewalk to obtain a closer view of the window display, and con-
sequently bringing the public nearer the actual entrance where a com-
plete view of the store itself could be obtained. To the Chinese res-
taurant, when securing their desire for the improvement, we sug-
gested a fern plant to be placed in the window instead of the ugly fly-
paper to which it had previously been decorated. Little suggestions

given in an entirely modest manner not only helped the sale along, }

but left a feeling of confidence that we had their best interests at
heart which could only do one thing for our business—boost it.

At the termination of three months’ time -practically every store
owner on the street had made the alteration to his front, while many
had the interiors completely done over. Those who could not see
their way clear, acknowledged the advantage of the improvement and
voiced their intention of taking the step forward in the very near
future. ;
The growth of Jefferson after the revolutionizing of the main
street has been remarkable. Capital and labor were attracted by the

new and prosperous appearance of the town.

We turned our main street inside out and today it stands out
in complete harmony with the rest of the town. Old boys returning
home for a visit and people who have not been in Jefferson for several
years all comment upon the up-to-date and modern appearance which
greets them at every turn, and it is with no small degree of pride
that I view our main street of today with the satisfaction that my
suggestion, which was, after all, only a small part of the programme
of the day, placed me on my feet in my new surroundings and adver-
tised my business, putting me in line for the trade that is now offering

with the gradual increase of building, which we one and all sincerely

hope will continue to thrive.

Manouan Pulp and Paper Company
Atlas Bond and Security Corporation announce that they have

recently underwritten the entire issue of $2,400,000 of bonds and

debentures of Manouan Pulp & Paper, Limited, carrying a bonus of
common stock.

This company, which was organized about ten years ago as a

Rivers. They have also owned for many years extensive pulp limits

adjoining Laurentide, Belgo-Canadian and St. Maurice Paper Com-

It is proposed to build a 100-ton ground pulp mill immediately,

following the recent death of Frederick Abraham, the late president
of the Atlas Bond Company, arrangements have been made whereby

a well-known Montreal financier will shortly join their company in

an official capacity.

Service and Personal Touch Will Win

What happened? Just two things could happen. If the dealer

is on to his job and keeps busy at it, he not only furnishes the plan
_ but sells the material; but if he is one of the other kind and his pros-

pect has read all the good reading sent him by a high salaried man

kept just for that purpose, then the mail order house gets the business,

says J. W. Lamm of Danville, Ill., in the “American Lumberman.”
We have been in the retail business for thirty years and for the
last eight years were in a small town of less than two thousand and

out of this town went every month more than $50,000 to the mail

order house. In that time not one house job in our territory was
shipped in by the mail order house, although we naturally had them
to compete with at times.

How did we do it ? First by using the brain given us for that

_ purpose. We know architecture and could draw plans, which every

retail dealer should know. Right here, if you do not know how to
draw and read plans, take that spare time you have, get into a good

. correspondence school if you are too old to go to college, and work

until you know how.
In all our experience there has never been a published plan that
just suited the one who wanted something like it. Always a room

changed, one added on, this or that moved around or something that

did not exactly meet the likes of the prospect. Right here is where
architecture comes in. You can easily convince your prospects that
you can and will draw them plans just as they want them, give them
as many sets of blueprints as they want, and all free, gratis, for noth-
ing. At the same time let them know that when they have your plan
they will have one that their neighbor, or the entire neighborhood
for that matter, cannot have. When you get to draw the plan you

have the battle won.

If you cannot draw plans, get a line of good planbooks and work
on them until you can draw yourself. Keep your contractors on your

organization covering thirteen acres on Preston Street and south of

G. T. R. tracks have been taken over. The grounds are assess-
t over $25,000.

The amalgamation of forces of the Export Lumber Co. which
; its head office at Boston, Mass., and the selection of Mr. A. May-
Davis, president of the McAuliffe Davis Lumber Co. (who

pies the same position in the new company) is a concerted step
1 behalf of the export interests toward the abolition of the previous
ces of the company in Canada, and the bringing of the Canadian
iness under the one head at Ottawa.

The capitalization of the new company, which in certain circles

of the lumber trade is regarded as being extremely low in compari-
son with the scope of the new concern, is $600,000. This capitaliza-
tion, however, is explained somewhat by the fact that the principal
_ shareholders, of which the Export Lumber Co. is chief, is a close
corporation. The officers of the new company are: President A.
_ Mayno Davis, who is also head of the McAuliffe Davis Lumber Com-
pany. Mr, W. Allen Taft, president of the Export Lumber Com-
- pany, Boston, is vice-president, and Mr. Gilbert Allen, formerly of
_ the Export Company is secretary-treasurer.
‘Mr. Davis came to Ottawa in 1896 and first engaged with the
_ Export Lumber Company with which firm he remained for ten years,
_ then forming the Chaudiere Lumber Co. which was situated on
_ Chamberlain Ave., and after three years of operation in 1909 was ab-
_ sorbed in the amalagamation leading to the formation of the McAuliffe
Davis Lumber Co. .

_ Mr. W. Allen Taft, the vice-president, is a son of the late Water-
man A. Taft, former president of the Export Lumber Company, who
died about two years ago. Up to the time of his death Mr. Hate, Sty;

was one of the best known lumber salesmen and buyers in both the
- American and eastern Canadian lumber markets. His son succeed-
2 ed him to the position of president of the company. .

Mr. Gilbert Allen, secretary-treasurer of the company, has for
over the past twenty-five years been a valued member of the Canad-
ian branch of the Export Lumber Company. Mr. George I:, Dewar,

a well known Ottawa citizen, was formerly the Canadian manager of

the Export. Lumber Company.

The Export Lumber Company did a business of around fifty mil-
lion feet per year, which was largely distributed between the Canad-
ian trade and the forwarding of the remainder to the headquarters of
_* the company at Boston for sale on the American market.
= The chief business of the new company will be that of whole-
salers, and will be principally confined to buying and sorting. The
_ company, which has its head offices in the Jackson Booth Building,
intends to carry on both an export and domestic trade and will prin-
_ cipally pay attention to white pine stocks. It is announced that it
intends to keep on hand around 20,000,000 ft. of dry and semi-dry
stock of various grades. The new company operates under a Domin-

ton charter.’

_. The interests of the McAuliffe Davis Company which are large-
ly of a retail nature, are,'\the “Canada Lumberman” is given to
understand, not going to be affected. Mr. Davis will remain as the
president of the new companies.

a General Survey of Lumber Field

_--~~=The Labor Gazette, Ottawa, in its last issue presents the fol-
lowing interesting review of the lumber industry in Canada from
Coast to Coast:
Charlottetown reported quiet conditions in the lumbering indus-
try during July. At St. John and Fredericton the saw and shingie
_ mills run steadily. Two lumber camps at Bathurst were opened up
during the month, and full operations in eight or nine camps were
to start as soon as men could be secured. In Quebec district the saw
_ mills worked to capacity on the season’s cut, and at Sherbrooke the
_ saw and shingle mills were also very busy.. The saw and shingle
- mills at Ottawa and Hull had a busy. month. At Pembroke the mills
ran steadily, but shipping was hampered by shortage of cars; men

were in demand early in the month for shipping pulpwood; the low
water holding up one or two drives may curtail operations later ia
the season. Saw and shingle mills at Peterborough continued very
busy. Timmins reported some demand for sawyers, setters and
‘trimmers, all the mills being busy. At Owen Sound, saw mill work-
ers had an active month. At Sault Ste. Marie men were in demand
for the pulp and pine woods, and also to cut cordwoods; men were

demand at Prince Albert. Edmonton reported a shortage of mill
workers and bushmen. At Fernie all the mills worked fairly stead-
ily in spite of unsettled market conditions; occasional shortage of
labor was felt, and there was some difficulty in transporting logs to —
the mills; about 700 feet of flume used for this purpose, was destroy-
ed at Boulder Creek in a bush fire, which also burned 2,000 newly
cut logs. Nelson and Trail reported the lumbering industry fairly
active, some mills having sufficient men and others running short
handed; a new sawmill on Porcupine Creek was working to capacity.
Experienced millmen and bushmen were in demand at Cranbrook,
Kamloops and Chase. At Vancouver the coast lumber and shingle
mills and camps weré reported still fairly busy, though conditions
were somewhat unsettled; small tie camps scattered through the
country were generally busy. New Westminster reported activity
in the saw and shingle mills, but some large mills were temporarily —
closed for repairs or stocktaking. Loggers and bushmen were in
demand at Prince Rupert. Victoria reported activity in the lumbering |
industry, excepting shingle mills. Nanaimo also reported lumbering
rather less active on Vancouver Island; the logging camp and saw-

mills at Port Alberni closed down early in the month, but re-opened

later.

Lightning Causes Many Forest Fires

Of a total of 102 fires handled so far this season in Washington,
forty were caused by lightning. Losses of timber and logs aggregat-
ed about $12,000 and logging equipment loss has been slightly more —
than this, says “The Forest Patrolman” of Portland. In the terri-it
tory covered by the Potlatch Timber Protective Association, Iaho, ~
out of 23 fires the last half of July, 20 were caught by lightning, and
during the same period 30 out of 31 fires reported by the Clearwater
Association, Idaho, were lightning fires. There have been no serious,
fires so far this season in Oregon.

The average annual loss in the United States from forest fires’ i
is about $28,000,000. -

Oregon, with 1/5 of the timber in the United States, and the ~
third state in lumber production, expends $27,000 to maintain a
State Forester and his assistants and carry on protection in the ~
field; Washington, the leading state in lumber production, spends a
only $40.000, while Maine, most of whose forests have been cut over
several times, expends more than $100,000 yearly for forest protection, -
and Minnesota, about $125,000. ;

Matches Not Fit Food for Rats

The theory of the rat and the match as a cause of fire has been |
presented to Fire Commissioner Latulippe, in a communication from .
Chicago, where some extraordinary experiments have been made, —
with the view of deciding whether the origin of fire can truthfully be
traced to this cause. The substance of the report on these investi- —
gations, which were made by the engineers of the Underwriters’
Laboratories, working in conjunction with the match manufacturers, |

is that the rat and match theory is a myth, and that rats and mice —
would rather starve to death than eat the modern match heads. A

Looks for Still Higher Prices

“The price of paper will be higher than ever next year,” says E.
W. Backus, of Minneapolis, the American millionaire, who is inter-
ested in many pulp and paper companies with Canadian holdings.
“The reserve stock of wood is gone, and that will mean taking on
more men. The condition of the labor market is uncertain, and men
want bigger wages than ever. The coal situation is a serious one,
and with the increased prices of haulage the price of paper must neces-
sarily go up.”

Canada’s Position in Pulp Arena

_ for the calendar year 1918, just published by the Dominion Bureau
_ of Statistics and quoted by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
~ Commerce, is $241,344,704; of which British Columbia’s share is
~ $42,705,988; Ontario’s, $88,576,807; Quebec’s, $101,456,296; New
» Brunswick’s, $7,852,225, and Nova Scotia, $753,388. Of these 94

At a recent convention of forestry experts and paper manufac-
turers held in New Hampshire, a conference between representatives

Aerial Survey of Timber Wealth

Irvin Proctor of Toronto, president of the Canadian Aero Film
Co., Limited, has returned from an extended aerial journey through
the northern part of the province. The trip by airplane was made at
the request of the Ontario Government in order to get photographs ~
of various parts of the province for forestry and agricultural pur- | |)
poses. The photographs are being displayed at the Canadian Na-
tional Exhibition. In the journey northward Mr. Proctor, who was —
accompanied by six men, travelled over Algonquin Park north to the |

Woodworking Plant Making Toys

The Burr Mfg. Co., Orillia, Ont., are working up a nice toy busi-
ness. This industry was commenced a short while ago on a small
scale and is developing fast and gives promises of growing to con- —
siderable proportions. The idea behind this new industry is depend- _
able toys for children, that is, toys that will stand up under rough
usage. The line consists of rocking horses, see-saws, kindergarten
tables and other similar toys, and in addition staple articles like the
wooden drums for electric washing machines, and various forms of
woodenware,are produced. The orders already booked will keep the |
plant going until next spring. Mr. Burr states that the present quar-
ters are much too small and that he is contemplating moving his
plant to another town.

Export Mill on Chilliwack Bench . ,

Situate on Chilliwack Bench, B. C., at an elevation of some 700 —
feet above the Valley is located one of the most active and up-to-
date industrial plants to be found in the district. This, is the National
Shingle Mill, operated by Mr. N. G. Blanchfield. As the mill does
not market its product locally comparatively little is known of its |)
operations in the district, but by reaching out for and shipping its
product to the best markets in America, it is advertising the Chilli- ||
wack Valley in Pennsylvania, Southern California and many other —
distant points in the States where only the finest quality and grade
of shingle can demand the market and price. wa

Erecting his mill only a year ago this month, Mr. Blanchfield —
has today a model plant employing some 30 odd hand and running to #
capacity night and day. Situate in the centre of some of the very —
finest standing cedar obtainable and with some five or six years cut |
in sight and easily accessible, the mill has been established on a per-
manent basis. A complete system of skid roads has been constructed
to all parts of the timber and, adjoining the mill, a large yarding pond —
has been created by damming a stream into which the bolts are auto- ~
matically dumped upon arrival, saving handling and speeding up the |)
work. cod

The mill itself has three machines and adjoining is a double ©
section dry kiln with a one million capacity and storage and shipping _
sheds adjoining. The various mill buildings are grouped around with |)
a view to convenience and comfort for the men and safety in case of |
fire. Electric light, generated in the mill, is carried to every bulding. |

Joint Rates Have Gone Into Effect :

The order of the Railway Commission authorizing increases in
the joint rates on traffic across the international boundary, has gone
into effect. This order was made on the application of the American
Railway Association, which represented to the Railway Commission
that increases had been authorized by the Inter-state Commerce Com-
mission on the United States roads, and that the rates authorized
by that body should be made applicable to international joint rates.
The order applies to all rates and charges which were increased under _
the order of the Inter-state Commerce Commission. Pe |

Live Wire in the Lumber Arena

U. E. Germain, managing di-
rector of the Brompton Lum-
ber & Mfg. Co., is an aggressive
member of the lumber industry of
the Province of Quebec. ‘The
Brompton (Co., although not a
year old, has now one of {the
best-equipped plants of its kind
in eastern Canada and employs
in its woodworking department
at Bromptonville 150 men.

Mr. Germain was educated at
Levis College and also took a
Forestry course at Harvard and
an architectural course in Mont-
real. He started in the lumber
game in 1904 with the Lotbiniere
Lumber Co., of which E. W. To-
bin is president, as a junior clerk
and was transferred to the Du-
chene mill later on, where he did
almost all the light work about
the mill from piling shingles to
scaling lumber off the trimmers.
After filling other important positions with this company, he was
transferred to the office of the president at Bromptonville as his pri-
vate secretary. For some years he was looking after the buying and
_ jobbing end of the business.

In 1907-8 Mr. Germain was cruising with a survey party along

the making and delivery of a railroad tie contract for the G. T. P.
Ten years ago he was called back to headquarters at Bromptonville
and joining the staff of the Tobin Mfg. Co. ably discharged the duties
of assistant manager. In 1912 he left to inaugurate a business of his

Phillips & Co. for many years and is known as the first lumber sales-
man to introduce B. C. fir doors, mouldings and finish in Quebec.
Mr. Germain’s Montreal business is still in full swing under the super-
vision of Mr. J. Villeneuve.

The subject of this reference devotes all his time to the Brompton
Lumber & Mfg. Co., and in his leisure periods—which are few—he
is very fond of fishing and hunting, being an angler whom few can
surpass. He has captured several prizes for large fish caught at dif-
ferent times. Mr. Germain is a breeder and fancier of hunting dogs

and a good wing and trap shot.

Forest Fire Problem in New Brunswick
Writing to a leading paper in the East on the New Brunswick

forest fire problem and the difficulty of enforcing laws and regula-

says:

The forest fire problem in New Brunswick will always be a most
serious and difficult one to deal with. With more than one-half the
country in forest or wild lands, traversed by 1,900 miles of railways,
with sport-
ing parties traversing game regions, with settlers burning slash with-
out proper care, and with occasional dry seasons, when the dry limbs

and fallen timber are as inflamable as tinder and spread fire when

ignited with incredible rapidity—these causes combined make the
government administration of Crown lands continuously complex and
embarrassing. When to these be added the never-relaxing efforts
of the combine of lumber operators to force by political influence
concessions and secure all they can for the least compensation, it
must be conceded the minister who honestly protects the public in-
_ terests has no sinecure.

The present enactments are the result of long experience and are
probably the most perfect the province has ever “possessed. Outside

_ authorities claim they are the most up-to-date and efficient of any in

any state or province in America. Whether or not that be the case,
they are administered with a good deal of energy and with a faith-
fulness that defies the lumber rings. They were subjected to a severe
test during the early part of this season. There was practically no

‘ _ rain-fall from May 15th to June 10th, and the weather was very hot.

The rainfall in May in New Brunswick was less than one-third
the average of the past fifteen years. The debris on the ground be-
came dry as tinder, and fires once started spread with great rapidity,
and were difficult to control. From enquiries at the Crown Land
Office, the writer learns that over five hundred fires occurred; ten

_ very serious fires were caused by carelessness of river drivers, thir-

teen by smokers,

twenty-six *by neglectful fishermen, fifty-one by
uncontrolled slash fires, and over three hundred from railroads, and
the balance from various other preventible causes. The most serious

Says Lumber Trade is rrowisiat Praia
A recent despatch from Vancouver says: Although the demand _ >
upon the lumber industry is not very brisk at present, resulting from +4!
the very evident inclination of prospective builders in all parts of the
world to hold back until prices and costs come down again, | ee
stocks in practically every part very low and shortage of houses
need of all kinds of buildings becoming very pronounced, the futt re
of the industry is particularly promising, in the opinion of Mr, H, R.
MacMillan, of MacMillan & Co., who has just returned from er ,
that circled the globe. : ¢
Mr. MacMillan left Vancouver and visited Australia and New
Zealand, afterwards going to India, where he succeeded in securing
an order for British Columbia creosoted ties, to be sent to es
somewhat as an experiment. From there he visited Egypt, France an id ‘
Belgium and afterwards went to England.
“When the demand does open up ‘there will be enormous busin
offerings,” he said. “From the present outlook this demand will m
itself evident early next year, for the requirements in many
large centres for all kinds of large buildings cannot be put off 1
longer than that. As far as the “market opportunities are conce
they are in almost every country I visited but the same tendency a
present to hold back also exists in every country, more particularly
so in Great Britain, where all kinds of lumber and other prod
the mills are very scarce indeed. ‘
“Once we in this province start out to meet the demand that is —
coming I believe we will have to work hard to fill the ae ee :
that will pour in from everywhere. This demand is not being felt yet

Cost of Logging Keeps Climbing, Wages Go Higher and
fs Men are Restless and Far from Being Efficient

52 It is always interesting to study the rise and fall of prices, par-

‘ticularly in the supply markets. The variations since the war have
been rapid and frequent. In some cases figures have shot up to un-
precedented heights and then receded, only to make an upward climb
again. In certain other lin’ <values are more stabilized. Just why
sugar, potatoes and other tor lines should jump to unheard of alti-

tudes, has been accounted for ‘n many different bases. To enter into
an explanation of the contribuing causes would be too long a story.

_-—«*‘ The lumbermen, who have\to equip four or five or even more
camps each season know how much it costs to feed men today as
compared with the moderate outlay before the war. Supplies are not
only scarce in many lines but are extremely high. In a few commodi-
' ties there has been a decrease during the past year, but the number of
such items is relatively small. > FS
In each “Camp Number” it has been tisual for the “Canada [um-
-_berman” to publish:some comparative figures ofthe cost of leading
commodities used in the bush from year to year. A glance over the
~ subjoined table will show that on many articles of food the advance
has been 100% and in some cases runs as high as 290% and 300%, since
the outbreak of the war in August, 1914. -The quotations supplied are
those taken from the records of a well-known camp ‘supply firm in
Toronto and are approximately what prevail at other eastern centres.
Of course, there will be a variation on some items, but a fair average
has been taken. With the cost of supplies so high and the wages in
‘the woods at the top-most notch,—and men not nearly as efficiewt or
- contented as they were before the war—it is little wonder that lumber
has aviated in price. fh
. There are other considerations in the way of the extremely heavy
advances in hardware, blankets, graniteware and allied’ lines. Much
-- more might be said on this question, but the story is one that is
realized only too painfully by the operator whether he conducts logging
' ona large or small scale.
an An eastern manager summed up the situation succinctly when he
remarked recently to the “Canada Lumberman”: “I have long since
ceased to be surprised at any advances. I now take them as a matter
of course. Every time we buy a few pounds of this or that we are
told that it costs so much more and we pay it without complaint or
cavil. How long this state of affairs will continue, no one can tell.
‘In these days predictions are practically worth nothing. All prophe-
cies have been upset by the cold logic of events and the force of cir-
‘cumstances. The only thing the lumberman can do is to pay as he
goes along and keep smiling. There is no use denouncing things in
general, as one is apt to create dissension and discouragement on
every side.” .
“Indications are that wages will be higher in the camps this season
_. than they were last year. The prevailing figure in Ontario and Quebec
for men of the ordinary type was $60.00 to $65.00 a month and board
while a few top-notchers received $70.00. This schedule held all the
season. This year the majority of firms are paying $70.00 and $75.00
for woods’ labor, and in a few cases $80.00 is handed out to efficient

men

Hay is higher than at this time last year, but some of the lumber-
men expect that the price will fall. A recent quotation furnished by a
Toronto supply firm is $36.00 per ton, f.o.b. Sudbury, for new hay,
_ while last year at this time the rate was $30.00, but it afterwards went
up somewhat. Western oats, bulk, fo.b. Sudbury, are now $1.00 per
‘bushel, bulk, bags, $1.10; Ontario oats, bulk, 95a bag,) $1.05. - At
, this time last year western oats, bulk, f.o.b. Sudbury, were 96c a bushe,]
and bags $1.06; Ontario oats 95c, bags $1.05. The prices, therefore,
are practically the same as a year ago. No new oats are on the market

Home Owning Versus Divorces

The contention that home owning makes for good citizenship and
higher living ideals is corroborated by a recent study of divorce cases
in Ghicago, where out of 3577 suits for divorce filed in a recent year
only seventy couples owned their homes. In 2,171 cases there were
no children. er ae
~ SR€tcords, show’ that in Chicago’ in 1919 there were 37,583 mar- —
riages and betweeii'5,000 and 6,000 divorces, an increase in divorces —
of 20 per cent. since 1911. The growth of the apartment habit and
extravagance are given as two prominent causes for this increase.

The Supreme Value of Time

The International Time Recording Co., Ltd., 57, City
Road, Finsbury, London, E.I., Eng., have just issued an in-
formative and profusely illustrated brochure, ,upon the value.
of time and time recording.. The old days of long hours and |
low wages, says the booklet, are gone, probably for ever, and
the new era of shorter hours and higher wages must lead in
the natural course of events to greater efficiency. And most
certainly it means, if employers of labor are to compete in
home and foreign markets, they cannot afford to pay for time
not received; on the contrary, it is of paramount importance
that they check to the minute the times of arrival and depar-
ture of their employees.. Never before in history did Time
mean so much all the world over as it does today, when na-
tions are striving to balance the economies of the world by
production.. The thought of every employer today is how to
increase production in spite of the reduced working hours;
how to keep costs down with wages ever increasing. The
solution to each of these problems is the same, and that is
Time—full time for each worker and payment only for time
worked. If the hours be 47 per week, let them be 47, and
nothing short of 47, and full time for the factory, works, or
establishment, of whatever description; if 4,700 hours are the
limit of the establishment, let 4,700 be worked, and so keep
overhead charges at the lowest. The only way to ensure
punctuality is to record automatically the time of employees
—check their ingoings and outgoings, so that there is no ques~
tion of paying for time not received, no question of allowing
irregular time-keeping to play havoc with production and cost
of production. It makes no difference how employees may be
paid—by piecework, on the bonus system, or simply by the
hour—the basis of payment first and last is Time.. A man or
woman can only do a certain amount of work in a given time;
some can do more and some less, and payment by piecework
or on the bonus system is a means of encouraging a worker
to do the best possible. Such methods are splendid stimulants
to production if, and only when, based on Time. It will not
profit a manufacturer to help production to fix a piecework
rate unless the workers put in full time, and in practice such
systems, if worked without count of time, are as liable to re-
duce the output as to increase it.

secure?” Mr. Backus was asked, the question referring to the appli-

cation for limits of about 2,500 square miles.

“When the Lake of the Woods limit was offered by the Govern-
ment, we tendered in 1913. We were going to put up a 100-ton pulp

mill, and but for the delays due to the then Government, that mill
would have been built. The Government told us there were at leas

New Pulp Mill at East Angus

: The Brompton Pulp & Paper Co. are erecting a new ground-
~ wood mill at East Angus, Que., and are installing three Voith grind-
ers. The equipmentewill be motor-driven throughout and modern in
every respect, andyit is expected the new plant will be in operation by
the middle of February. It-will increase the total production of me-
chanical pulp by 70-toms per day, making the entire output of the
company 400 tons daily. The Brompton Pulp & Paper Co, also
turn out 120 tons of news a day, 70 tons of boxboard, 90 tons of sul-
phate pulp and 60 tons of kraft pulp. They report that the markets
_are being well maintained both in pulpwood and paper and do not
expect any material decline in price for raw material for some time
_ to come.

Dryden Pulp Co. Changes Hands
The Dryden Pulp & Paper Co., whose plant is located at Dryden,
_ Ont., has changed hands. It is understood that the new owners will
carry out an extensive policy of expansion. The plant has been
established a number of years and has a daily capacity of 60 tons
air-dry kraft pulp, 15 tons kraft sheathing paper, and 15 tons kraft
wrapping paper.
J. By Beveridge has been vice-president and general manager of
_ the company ever since its conception, and F. N. Beveridge is the
general superintendent. It is understood that sécurities will be placed
upon the market by the Montreal interests, who have acquired the
plant from the English owners, to the extent of $5,000,000. It is
also learned that the English interests have not been ready to pro-
vide the necessary capital to develop the plant as it should be during
_ the present activity in the pulp and paper arena, one cause for the
delay being the exchange situation. The new Canadian interests will
supply this capital, and’ it was on this assurance that the property
changed hands at approximately its pre-war value. The English in-
' terests will retain their holding of the $1,500,000 6 per cent. bonds now
- outstanding. f
¥ The Dryden Company holds 1,157 square miles of timber limits
-adjacent to Lake Wabigoon and Eagle Lake, in the Kenora district
of Ontario, between Winnipeg and Port Arthur, containing a large
stand of accessible pulpwood. The company’s history dates back to
before the war, when it was originally formed as a lumber and power
concern. It went into liquidation in 1913, at the time when the lum-
president of the company.

Will Develop Important Limits
Negotiations recently concluded in Toronto will result in the
formation of the Western Canada Pulp and Paper Company, Lim- |
ited, to develop important limits in British Columbia, =~
The new company has acquired a valuable asset in the water
power on Rainy River and its holding include a pulp mill with a
minimum capacity of 12,000 tons per annum, sawmills, freehold lands,
provincial timber license areas, water powers and townsite properties. —
The timber limits owned and acquired are estimated to contain
over 1,500,000 cords of pulpwood, which should be sufficient to sup-
ply the mills for 60 years, operating at a capacity of 40 tons per day.
It is understood that the entire financing of the new company
will be carried out in Canada. iad 6

Will Put Up Pulp Plant at Masset ie oe

Mr. F. L. Buckley of the Masset Timber Co. (1919) who returned —
from Masset, B. C., lately, states that water measurements are being
taken and all plans laid at Masset by his company in preparation for
the establishment of a modern pulp plant. English capitalists are
behind the venture, Mr. Buckley stated, and without doubt actual ~
building operations on the plant would start next year. He describes
the limits at Masset as containing the best pulp wood in the province. _
At present 450 men-are employed by the company getting out _
logs, which are marketed with the Prince Rupert Lumber Mills and ~
with the pulp mills in the province. The output is 9,000,000 to 10,- —
000,000 feet per month. The mill at Masset has been closed and, ac-
cording to-Mr. Buckley, is not likely to be re-opened this year. i

ss New Company Will Build Pulp Mill
ig _ The Manouan Pulp & Paper Co., Limited, Montreal, have secur-
4 ed control over areas immediately adjoining the Laurentide Co.,
_ the Belgo-Canadian Pulp & Paper Co., and the Brown Corporation.
_ These limits are splendidly situated and constitute and make the
company among the largest holders of pulpwood lands in the Pro-
vince of Quebec. The island chutes on the St. Maurice River will
_ be developed by the company, and it is expected the ultimate pro-
_ duction will be 38,000 h.p. This point also offers nearly 2,000 acres
for a mill site. The company will erect a 100-ton ground work mill
and have this in operation by August, 1921.
tS The new company will have an authorized capital of $5,000,000,
and an authorized bond issue of $2,500,000. Of the authorized capital
$900,000 of 7% convertible debentures will be issued in the near fu-
ture. Of the common stock 40,000 shares of a par value of $100,000
will now be issued and the bond issue will be 2,000,000 7% first mort-
_ gage gold bonds. A sinking fund sufficient to retire the debentures
by maturity will be provided.
e The prospective financial position of the company, after its fin-
‘ancing has been arranged, would show as follows:

1,380,000 cords spruce and balsam pulpwood at $2.25...... $3,105,000

‘A further source of revenue not included in the above, is the sale
of surplus power, which can be disposed of as soon as it is installed.
After the deduction of $2,000,00 of bonds and $900,000 of debentures,
to be presently issued, this would leave a surplus at the above values
of over $60 per share on the common stock issue.

Remarkable Comeback in Earnings
Spanish River Pulp & Paper Mills furnishes a good illustration of

of the thriving condition of the industry in Canada by its annual re-

port for the year ending June 30 last. This company, which was on
the verge of a receivership six years ago, when it was reorganized

on behalf of the bondholders, has made a remarkable recovery by

reason of favorable conditions and management, resulting now in
‘much the best showing of its history. More especially its standing
has improved within the past two years, until now the arrears of divi-
dends on preferred stock, amounting to 42 per cent., have been met
in one year by an issue of new stock, other debts have been arranged,
and the next expected proceeding is action on the common stock.

_ For months the stock market has been agitated over the expected
distribution by Spanish and it is likely that the occasion of the annual
meeting late this month will be marked by some news of future policy
in this connection. The company dates back to 1911, and in the first

year the dividend on preferred was 3% per cent.; in 1912 payment —
of 834 was made, and in 1913, 3%, after which nothing was paid until

the wiping out of arrears this year. No dividends have even been
paid on common, of which $8,000,000 is outstanding. During the past
three years the net income and working capital of the company have
been as follows :—

Quebec’s Policy in Pulpwood Matters

: Hon. Honore Mercier, Minister of Lands and Forests, in the Pro-
vince of Quebec, in discussing the opinion expressed by the confer-
ence of paper manufacturers and forestry experts just held in New
London, N. H., at which some criticism was expressed regarding the
policy of Canada in governing the export of pulpwood, said in an
interview here :—

“Everybody interested in the welfare of the Province understands
the necessity for the Canadian restrictions upon the exportation of
pulpwood cut on the public lands. These measures are amply justi-

2 te he ee Mae able ee te ee a tore er ee é S = i abl Tae ha

fied and becoming more and more appreciated. I do not think “~~

it useful now to enter into a discussion of all that has been said ©

against our policy here in Quebec, concerning pulpwood. But we

Hon. L. A. Taschereau, the new
Premier of Quebec

have had to adopt measures for the conservation of our natural re’ >

sources and to provide for the future.

“Following the programme traced by the Hon. Mr. Taschereau,
we have decided to send four forestry engineers over to Europ}
and to Norway ‘and Sweden particularly to study and acquire what:
ever experience they can from those great forestry and lumbering
centres. They will come back with information of the reforestation
problems, where climatic conditions are about the same as here.
Afterward, we will place them in the department here so that their
researches may be of use to us.

“Three aeroplanes will be placed at work at once on our woods
for patrolling and exploring work. Hitherto, exploring has been a
tremendous expense and a slow process.”

Veteran Manufacturer of Lumber

Mr. Joseph Hercule Dansereau
is one of the oldest lumber manu-
facturers in P.Q. He commenced
his business career in the lumber
trade in 1885 when he operated a
sawmill at) Vercheres, P.O. In
1895, Mr. Dansereau built a. float-
ing mill, and for two years was
located at Calumet, manufactur-
ing lumber from logs purchased
on the Red River. From there he
transferred his operations to Liu-
seville, P. Q., where he was en-
gaged for five years in manufac-
turing lumber,in the same mill,
the logs coming from the Riviere
du Loup district.

Later Mr. Dansereau went to
Three Rivers, where he built a
sawmill at the mouth of the St.
Maurice, the mill having a capa-
city of 12 million feet per annum.
This mill is in operation today
Mr. Dansereau aiso_ purchased
- limits upon the St. Maurice. In addition to these, he acquired large
limits upon the Jacques Cartier River and built a sawmill with a
capacity of 20. million feet per annum at Pont Rouge, County of
- ‘Portneuf. Last year he disposed of this property to the Donnacona

| Industrial Alchohol From Wood Waste

» . The removal iby the Government of most of the restrictions on
4 the manufacture of denatured alcohol ought to lead to a great de-
velopment of chemical and other industries dependent upon it. The
_ Society of Chemical Industry claims that with duty-free alcohol Can-
ada may undertake the manufacture of over 150 chemical compounds
_in common use here, and that completely denatured alcohol offers a
- cheap fuel for motors and automobiles,

‘ Owing to Government restrictions which increased the cost the
_ use of alcohol for industrial purposes in Canada hitherto has been
limited. Last year the Inland Revenue Department manufactured
643,700 gallons, but Germany in 1917 used 120,000,000 gallons, and
the Umited States in 1918 used over 90,000,000 gallons. The manu-
- facturers of those countries had an enormous advantage, because
_ industrial or denatured alcohol there was freed from thee restrictions
~ which embarrassed Canadians.

So long as there is a world shortage of food the manufacture of
alcohol from corn or potatoes will prove expensive to other countries,

but Canada has the advantage of being able to use her forests for this
purpose. It has been estimated that the sulphite liquor running to
\ waste from the pulp mills on the St. Maurice River would produce
- annually about 64,000 gallons of alcohol, and that the pulp mills of
- the whole country would yield about 5,000,000 gallons annually.
‘Moreover, it can be produced from wood waste of sawmills, such as
slabs, strips and sawdust, and it is estimated that in British Columbia
_ alone these sources would yield about 50,000,000 gallons a year.
- Canada is exceptionally favored with the raw material for this chemi-
cal product, and ought to be able to manufacture it at a price to com-
pete with the greatest industrial nations of the world.

Retail Dealers May Form Club

‘There is some talk of forming a retail lumbermen’s fishing club

and establishing their headquarters on the French River near the
Chaudiere Falls. This proposal has been brought about as a result
of the visit of the Ontario retailers to that part of the country on
their annual outing, and the splendid success with which they met in
the angling line. Several ardent disciples of Izaac Walton have
mooted the matter, which is now being discussed and may take defi-
nite shape before many weeks elapse. There are numerous eligible
sites for a club house and headquarters for such an organization, and

fi; ‘no more attractive spot could be found.

New Brunswick Yards Are Filled

; All reports from the North Shore of New Brunswick and espe-
4 cially from the towns on the Miramichi indicate that the employment
‘i paper em will be an acute one there this winter. Lumbering is the
main industry of that section and offers the only employ ment to the

. S bulk of the population,
The mill yards all along the river are piled high with lumber,
and very little has been shipped this year. Ever since the latter years

"EO Ree Bris: ri |
fe) the war, this congestion has been developing so that the bi
lumber companies are faced with the double p roblem of peony g ri¢

of the surplus on their wharves and of finding piling space for their
daily cut. One of the big companies have had mae one boat consig ed
to them so far this year, and it took away 700,000" feet, and that means
only three or four days’ cut. All the companies are having the sam i
experience, and the result is that the mills have to shut down ver
shortly,

A further result of the present situation will be that this mall

cut will only be a fraction of that of former years. Two of the largest
lumber companies are wintering thousands of the logs cut last year,
and one company operating three mills will have only four camps
working, and their cut will amount to about ten million feet.

Three Generations in Lumbering Line }

The name of Blair is synonymous with the lumber trade of
Province of Quebec. As far as 1831, Robert Blair came to Cana
from North Berwick, Scotland, and became the pioneer of the ian ‘
industry in the now famous Saguenay River district, his interest
being in connection with what is now known as the firm: of Pri
3rothers & Co., Limited, and other large pulp concerns. Sir Willi am
Price when a young man lived in the Blair home, and learned s
of his lumber business in the Saguenay locality. 4 ;

Some years later, (the Blair family having severed their con n
tions on the Saguenay River) the younger members commenced |
ations on the St. Maurice River, and with old established family re
tions these operations lasted for ‘about tw enty-five years. A —
ago all the business connections there were discontinued so far
Blairs were coneerned. The limits now owned by the Wayagz mac'<
Pulp & Paper Co., of Three Rivers, P. Q., were the operating Ears
of the firm of Blair Brothers, of Montreal—a name comparatively
to the present generation of lumber dealers, but very familiar t to the
older members of the trade. Some twenty years ago the firm—now —
consisting of Messrs. W. B., R. P., H. C., and O. T. Blair—operated
under the name of Blair Brothers. The style was changed to I e
& Rolland, Limited, but this has now been again altered to th orig-
inal form of Blair Brothers. at pean

It is almost unique to find three generations of one family remain-_
ing in the same line of business, with the additional Seoitiai ee a
brothers being members of the same company. ra

Must Fence in Lumber Yards Bais:

The problem of lumber piles within the city limits was again to
the fore in Ottawa in connection with fencing off the lumber yards —
of Shepard & Morse in the west end. Some time ago, following the “ag
disastrous fire in these yards, Commissioner of Works A. E. Macal-—
lum, requested the company to erect fences around the lumber piles. _
On the company’s failure to comply with the request, a charge of |
non- compliance with the city by-laws was laid against it by the city 4
engineer’s department. On the date set for the hearing of Bee ae y
the case was adjourned. at

Mr. P. C. Walker, of Shepard & Morse, informed the Board of
Control that strict compliance with the by-law would put the com- —
pany out of business as far as_the piling of lumber was conce ed. 4
The company could not operate if compelled to erect fences” ar
piling ground area, which is traversed by different streets. Mr.
ker incidentally told the board that if the company was compelle r
erect fences along all the streets crossing the piling ground area, it ' x
would secure yards elsewhere. The board informed Mr. Walker sf
that the by-law must be observed. Mr. Walker fnels assured the
board that the company would erect fences. EN,

Ask Him Why He Does Not Proceed

A man is quite interested in building before he takes" the ‘trou ble
to have an estimate figured and in the great majority of cases he ipa
“live” prospect. This | being the case, are we not falling down on our

salesmanship when we are unable to close with nearly half_ our
customers? We would like to know the exact reason why we fail led |
to sell.every estimate that was cancelled. This information would
enable us to find the weak spot in our selling methods. We shave sent
out a letter to a number of our yards asking for full informatio ie 13
these estimates that were cancelled. If you received these, we ho . y
you will take great care to answer them as fully as possible. If you
are in doubt about any of them, ask the man for whom you figu -d
the estimate, just why he did not go ahead with the baldiece and
report the facts to us.

Having a ieeane “time of payment” is one eee that
the yard manager often fails to arrange. He wouldn’t forget his _ Y

-—s- Mannchester: Firm Opens Offices in Midland
Mr. G. Mason, of Manchester, England, accompanied by E. H.
Cookson, his secretary, was in Montreal recently en route to Mid-
: land, Ont., in connection with a big deal’ put through by his com-
pany in March dast, involving the purchase of 25 million feet of lum-
ber from the Manley Chew saw mill, representing an investment of
over one million dollars.
~ Mr. Mason intimated that the purpose of his present trip is to
_ make forwarding arrangements to have the lumber, as it is put
through the mill, forwarded to the company’s distributing yards in
Manchester, where they have large storing ground and shed space,
adjacent to the ship canal, and possessing railway communication.
_ During the past four years, through the war period, the company
was debarred from purchasing timber in Canada, owing to an em-
-. bargo of the British Government which sought to conserve tonnage.
With a very large demand for timber supplies which is prevalent
throughout Great Britain, for engineering and shipbuilding purposes,
__ Mr. Mason was led to make the deal’ he is now marshalling, and as
he put it, in conversation lately, his company is open to purchase
all the white pine timber they can get in Quebec and Ontario and else-
where in the Dominion of Canada.
_ The timber, as it is cut for the company’s purposes, is fashioned
‘into boards and deals and is sold in that way. The Midland mill has
a capacity of about 50 million feet a year, and it is estimated that the
timber supply that is tributary to it is good for about fifty years. Mr.
Mason agreed that some adequate system of forest husbandry and
_re-forestation, was well worthy of scientific investigation in’ these
provinces, and commented upon the move being made, in this connec-
tion by the Quebec provincial government, as being in line with
- statesmanship, —
At Midland, the company, which is known as G. Mason and Co.,
____Ltd., has established offices, with Major G. L. Main, of Galt, in charge,
for the purpose of looking after their present investment, and to ne-
- gotiate any further purchases of timber which they may be able to
_ make in this part of the country. Mr. Main, who served in the air
force in England during the war, has had a very considerable exper-
_ ience in Canadian lumber.
_-—s Speaking generally of Manchester, Mr.Mason said that it was
the largest cotton spinning centre in the world, there being hundreds
of mills in Lancashire. He says that, if labor troubles were elimin-
ated, there is much work throughout Great Britain and that the
country might witness an era of real prosperity.

E New Western Door Company Formed
Canadian Western Door Co., Limited, Mission City, B.C., has
been recently organized with a capital of $25,000, to manufacture
sash and doors. The company will establish a large sash and door
factory in Mission City, with a capacity of about 1,000 doors per day.
The factory building will be 70 x 400’. Two dry kilns will be con-
. structed with a drying capacity of 36,000’ a day. The plant, when
completed, is expected to cost in the neighborhood of $135,000, and
employment will be given to about 75. hands, the monthly pay-roll
amounting to $10,000. ‘The site ‘consists of su acres and adjoins the
_ C. P. R. on one side and the Fraser River on the other, thus giving
both rail and water transportation. The officers of this company are:
C C., Pierce, president; R. L. Gallinger, vice-president and manager,
Pirie, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Gallinger is thoroughly

manager of the Home Savings & Loan Association of Seattle, while
Mr. Pirie is a chartered accountant of wide experience. The company _
has been assured by several leading export companies of Vancouver
of sufficient business to take care of their entire output.

Britain Getting More Western Timber

_ Britain is getting considerably more lumber from British Colum- — |
bia, according to Sir Douglas Cameron, who recently spent a few days _
in Winnipeg. Larger shipments of Pacific Coast lumber are also
being made to Japan and to Australia. it)
: In earlier years, and especially in the war period, vessels were not oF
always available for this export trade. This condition has now been
improved and much lumber is going forward to these and other foreign
countries.

_ Regarding the price of lumber, Sir Douglas said that it was about _
as it was a year ago. At one point during the year he said buyers |
from the United States were offering any price for lumber, but this
condition did not last long, and the amount which was sold at these
inflated quotations was not large. Two months ago a slump occurred
but this condition had also passed.

With reference to the supply of lumber on the Canadian coast,
Sir Douglas said that it was less than it was in January, and that it
was not increasing. His own company has recently increased its log-
ging facilities on limits on the lower mainland by building a railway
and additional cutting will be done this fall and winter.

Wooden Steamer is Complete Wreck

The Mary Anne McGregor ran onto the Mississauga Reef com- ||

ing into Blind River harbor lately and is a complete wreck. The —
entire bottom of the boat was ripped,, and a fire which resulted com- |
pletely enveloped her upper works and interior. Captain Geo. For- |
rest and the crew of sixteen took to their own boats and landed at
Meldrum Bay lighthouse, whence a tugboat brought them to Blind
River. Forrest could assign no reason for the fire breaking out. i¥
The McGregor was bound down from Duluth with a cargo of |
salt, and was coming into Blind River with her tow, the Thomas — i
Gawn, for a cargo of lumber. The Gawn’s line was parted when the |
McGregor ran on the reef.
The Mary Anne McGregor was a wooden boat of 1,000 tons capa-
city, 179 feet keel, 32 feet 6 inches beam, built in 1889, and owned)
by the Potter-Teare Transit Co. of Cleveland, Ohio. ~ a

that shareholders should not’ look for any such profits as the com-:

print for the twelve months included $80.00 a ton for the latter part
of 1919 and $90.00 a ton for the export for the first half of 1920, with
only $80.00 a ton for Canadian paper. This compares with the pre-_

have been several rumors afloat, one to the effect that English cap-—

not be regarded as at all probable owing to the unfavorable exchange >

A Progressive Eastern Lumberman

Charles B. Graddon, president
of the Graddon Lumber Co., Lim-
ited, Montreal, has been in busi-
ness for himself for the past four-
teen years and is well known to
the industry. He was born :n
Quebec in May, 1858, and is a son
of the late Charles Stuart Grad-
don. He was educated at the
Quebec High School and secured
his first acquaintance with the
lumber business by entering the
employ of W.-& J. Sharples and
later with Henry Fry & Co. of
Quebec. From 1881 to 1883 he
was engaged with a party in lay-
ing out townships in western
Canada and then returned east.
In 1884 he represented Bryant,
Powis & Bryant and later Mc-
Arthur Bros. He next went with
E. H. Lemay, Montreal, with
whom he remained eleven years,
after which he organized the
Graddon Lumber Co., Limited, 11 St, Sacrament Street.

Mr. Graddon resides at 6337 St. Claire Avenue, Ahuntsic, is a
member of the Montreal Board of Trade, and his chief recreations
are hunting and fishing. His son, Chas. P. Graddon, is vice-president

of the company.

Who Will Get the Money

We were trying to figure up our sales the other day and on the
theory that a sale is not made until the money is collected, we find
that our sales for the year are pretty small, but we look for wonder-
ful improvement in this respect the next three months, says an East-
ern States lumber organization,

If you had to face the banker for a loan every few days, you

would realize just how tight the money market is, and see the neces-

sity for extraordinary collection efforts this fall. It is absolutely
imperative that we get the money due us and get it early. The Fed-

eral Reserve Bank sent a letter to its member banks the first of

cold. We must reduce .our indebtedness.
to insist upon it and we must comply. We have never had to bor-
. row as much money as we did this year, as it takes twice as much

_ August telling them not to make any more loans and to collect the
money due them when the present loan matured.

The men who owe you money probably are indebted to the
banks as well as to ourselves, and the banks are going after their

- money as hard as they can, and it is up to every one of us to see

that the banks do not get all the money and leave us out in the
Our creditors are going

to operate a yard as it did four or five years ago, and not since

' 1907 has money been so hard to get or the interest rates so high.

Make your plans right now so you will be ready to begin an

aggressive collection campaign about the middle of September and
keep it up until every dollar outstanding has been collected. Go

through your ledger and bills receivable book and make a notation

after each man’s name showing how his crop is, when he will
thresh, whether he will be able to settle in full and if he has other
means of paying besides his crop.

With this information in your possession, you will be able to
handle every account in an intelligent manner and you will be sure

that you are getting your full ‘share of the money coming to you.

You can’t expect to keep this information correctly if you depend
upon your memory for it, especially if you have one hundred or

more notes and accounts due you. Whenever you get an oppor-

days to quarters in the Statler Hotel.

tunity to talk to your debtors, ask them about their crops and also
about their neighbors’ crops, make a note of this information on
your ledger or in your bills receivable books as soon as you get an
opportunity. We may ask you for this information a little later in
the fall. :

Delightful Function Held at Kent House

‘ef

The head office staff of Price Bros., Limited, Quebec, were re
cently entertained at Kent House, Montmorency Falls, by C. E. Ken-
nedy, a widely-known lumberman of New York city. Mr. Kennedy)
proved to be an ideal host. The gathering was a highly éenjoyabl
one and Mr Kennedy’s chief regret was that it was not winter, i
order that he might invite the various organizations, because any-
thing that he undertakes is always carried out unusually well. He
would have been much happier had all the “Price boys” been
there instead of only the members of the Quebec office staff.

Kent House has been the scene of many delightful social func-
tions and among them was the one last February tendered the “dele.
gates of the Canadian Lumbermen’s Association and their wives by
the lumbermen of Quebec city. The location of this quaint and
historic hotel is an admirable one and the recent fete, under Mr, Ken-
nedy’s directions, was but another of the many brilliant social affairs
for which this picturesque place of entertainment has proved a splen-
did setting, ; ae

Included in the party, which numbered between sixty or seventy, .
were Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Price, Mr. Fred Price, Mr. J. Leonard
Apedaile, general manager of Price Bros., Ltd., Mr Alex, Morrison,
Mr. Blair, Lieut.-Col. Ray, the latter acting as master of ceremonies, -
and Mr. C. E. Martin, of the firm of C. E. Kennedy. _ Biel ae:

A special car was provided for the guests, who included — th
ladies and gentlemen. On the arrival of the party they yere im-_

were im-
mediately directed to the ball room, where dancing was indulged in, —
and between each dance a further musical entertainment was pro-— .
vided. Amongst those taking part being Miss Clara Amy, who ren- —
dered several pleasing vocal solos; Mr. Geo. Staton, accompanied by
Mr. H. Gordon Perry, sang some well-known songs, and the host,
Mr. Kennedy, proved a real artist in soft shoe dancing, as well as an —
elocutionist of the first class. ae
At the dance intermission the company adjourned to the supper
room, where a delightful repast was served, under the supervision
of the manager, Mr. Bertani, which was much enjoyed. =
Before returning to the dance room, Mr. J. Leonard Apedaile, —
in the course of an appropriate, though short spech, proposed the
health of Mr. Kennedy, and in so doing, referred to the part that —
that gentleman had proved himself a worthy son of the sod from
which he had sprung, by the hospitality he had extended to the staff
of Price Bros., Ltd. The toast was duly honored, and in reply Mr. —
Kennedy remarked that it-afforded him great pleasure to see so many

of the staff present and particularly so many ladies, and he would A”
always look back on the event with pleasant recollections. Som * 4

Pearce Company Saved Their Mill Ny

As announced in the last edition of the “Canada Lumberman,” __
fire last month destroyed the planing mill, dry kilns, lumber sheds,
office and entire contents of the Pearce Co., Limited, of Marmora, a
Ont. The loss is between $20,000 and $25,000 above the insurance.
F S. Pearce, manager of the company, states that by dint of hard =~
work they managed to save the flour mill, lumber shed, stables and
houses in the vicinity of the flames. Fortunately no damage was
done to the lumber yards or the sawmill which is sawing steadily
and will be kept running until cold weather sets in. The matter of
installing new planing mill equipment will be decided upon by the
company in the near future. é ie:

Ontario and the East

_ The chief topic of conversation in lumber circles has been the
jump in freight rates which has been authorized by the Board of
_ Railway Commissioners of Canada. This theme has taken precedence
over all others and many expressions of opinion are heard regarding
the wisdom and justice of such a move. The conservative, middle-
course lumberman, who quietly views things, looks seriously as he
remarks “When is all this going to end? Are railway employees to
_ be given an advance every time they ask for one, and are operating
_ companies going to be allowed to pass on all extra levies to the con-
suming public, add constantly to the cost of living, and incidentally
disrupt the general business of the country?”

Business in the lumber line is quiet at the present time in prac-

‘tically every kind of wood. Buyers are holding aloof, mills are view-

ing the future with some degree of uncertainty, operating concerns

intend to cut down the number of their camps, and there is a sort of

_ mark time feeling existing in all ranks, from the logger right through

to the retailer. It was expected with the gratifying yield in the

agricultural districts, in both eastern and western Canada that a

good deal of fall building would be done and that the dull period of

_. the last two months would~be superceded by one of considerable

activity and expansion. Now an increase of 40 per cent, in freight

rates has gone into effect in the east and 35 per cent. in the west,

‘with the result that if there was a tendency on the part of the lum-

ber industry to revive, a move in this direction has been retarded by
the new exactions on the part of the transportation companies.

Many concerns in the east, and more particularly those in the
west, are complaining of shortage of cars and inability to make ship-
ments. It is predicted that after September 13th there will be more

-_ ears available as when a sharp advance in carrying charges goes into

a force, as soon as the date of the increase arrives, cars seem to

appear from many unexpected quarters. Until the new rates are
~ applicable, there is always a dearth of rolling stock.

The sky-rocket rates will add considerably to the cost of western
stock delivered at Ontario points. Heretofore the rate from Van-
- gouver to Toronto has been 77c per 100 Ibs., and under the new
schedule the charge will be 1.05.05 or an elevation of 28c. The extra
‘imposition means in round numbers that all purchasers of Coast
stock will have to pay 50c per M. for carrying charges on shingles,
$10.00 on timbers, $7.00 per M on boards, shiplap and dimension, and
$5.00 to $6.00 per M on ceiling, flooring and interior trim. Under
the old tariff, the carrying charge on forest products from Vancouv-
er to Port Arthur was 55 cents. This has been augmented by 35
‘per cent., which makes the new figure over 74c. The old charge
.’ from Port Arthur to Toronto was 22c and the advance 40 per cent.
means nearly 3lc per 100 lbs. The combined levy is, therefore,
$1.05.05 as against 77c. It is true that many protests are being en-
tered against the mandate of the Railway Board but whether these
__-will have any perceptible effect, remains to be seen.

The judgment of the Commission is not yet fully realized, and it
is stated that the increase granted is only effective to December 3lst,
after which in eastern Canada the increase will be reduced from 40
per cent. to 35 per cent. and in western Canada from 35 per cent. to
30 per cent. A reduction of 5 per cent., however, will make but little
difference in the ultimate cost of lumber.

____- Now the question arises,—who is going to assume the fresh bur-
den? The wholesaler says he cannot afford to do so at the present
prices of lumber, and in connection with western stuff where the
new toll will be felt the heaviest, lumber manufacturers assert that
owing to the high cost of logs, labor and general operating expenses,
they cannot take any less money for their output, kéep their plants
in operation and at the same time make ends meet. Naturally the
new rates fall heaviest upon large products, such as cars of lumber,
‘and it looks as if building operations, which have been temporarily
halted in several centres, will not gain any momentum this fall. Lum-
_ ber operators are putting in camps but in view of the general situa-
ion! there is a tendency toward cutting down the number of men in
the ‘bush.

‘gee Wholesale firms report business as quiet, and many travellers
’ find it difficult to interest customers in stocks. There is a disposi-
tion to play the part of a looker-on, as far as the retail trade is con-
ned, in the belief that lumber values have about reached their

peak. Any buying that is under way is for immediate requirements.
Probably after the harvest, there will be some stir in various centres
as housing accommodation was never so limited as at the present ©
juncture, and the scarcity of dwellings is being accentuated on all
sides with the return of families from summer resorts and the country
to reside in the towns and cities for the winter.

White pine is tairly active and is holding its own, but hemlock is
weaker and quotations have softened somewhat. Spruce is fairly
firm. White pine lath are scarce and in good demand, but hemlock
lath ate plentiful and difficult to dispose of. There are very few cars
of shingles in transit and prices are quite uniform. A steady busi-
ness is being done in the shingle line.

The whole lumber situation at the present period may be de- —
scribed as being in a transitory condition. This not only applies to
Ontario but all parts, of the Dominion, and while there is no note of
pessimism or alarm, there is a tendency on the part of mills,, whole-
salers and retailers to wonder what will happen next, and not to
enter upon any large expenditures or incur greater obligations than
seem advisable during the present period. Industries in all other
lines are reducing the extent of their output and seeking to keep
stocks as low as possible. The lumber arena is no exception to this ~
rule. Shipments in the east across seas have been slow and the
demand from over the border has fallen off considerably. Owing
to these deterrent factors and the abnormal jump in freight rates,
there is every indication that the quietness which has prevailed for
the past two months will not be materially altered during September,
at any rate.

United States

General conditions in the lumber line remain practically un-
changed with the exception that prices have softened in a good many
instances. The recent increase in freight rates has also been a disturb-
ing factor and has tended to restrict business. Hardwoods continue in
slack demand with wide ranges in prices and a tendency towards fur-
ther decline. The industry on the whole is feeling the adverse effects
of the recent jump in the cost of transportation. Even in the south,
which it was expected would profit greatly by the much higher deliy-_
ery costs of western lumber, the number of new orders received by the
southern pine mills was way below the figures of the weeks before
the new rates became effective. The west coast manufacturers are
feeling the advance still more keenly. They are booking only a frat-
tion of the normal amount of new business, and there is no way of —
knowing when there will be a turn for the better. Mill men are con-—
vinced that there must come a readjustment of rates which will put
the western mills back on the relative basis which existed before the
freight rate advance, or nearly so. Just now their business affairs are
in chaos. They seem to be debating whether they shall endeavor to \\
retain their old markets by absorbing the increased freight, or pas~
the whole of it along to the buyers. The former course involves a
sacrifice of profits. If the demand should develop to such proportions
as to enable them to maintain recent prices they might be able to
absorb a part of the freight increase; but the market tendency has —
been downward for some time, and if anything like normal times re- |

yond limits which will not admit of an output for all their products.
And, with demand at the present low ebb and the prospects none too
good for a revival of business this fall, there is no chance for them to
t Jw
Following a pronounced lull that accompanied the effective date
of increased freight rates, demand for yellow pine has recovered some- |
what, but the market remains quiet with the volume of business only
fair. The barometer reflects the sharp falling off in orders incident to —
the freight advance the booking of new orders being smaller than in
any weekly period this year.’ Shipments also declined, as compared
with recent weeks. On the whole, though, a good basis for stability
in the market is evident in the heavy file of unshipped orders, the car
shortage remaining as a check on any tendency to flood the market.

Generally, manufacturers and wholesalers have added the freight
advance to their prices and it is probable that 80 to 90 per cent. of the
new business booked for mill shipment includes the freight advances.

The hemlock market is slow, though broadly speaking prices hold
firm. There are exceptions to the general statement, but they are

The Mirage of Lower Prices

A good many retail lumber
dealers have followed the mirage
of lower prices off into the desert
of depleted stocks and-have al-
lowed their trade to drop away.
We know a good many dealers
who have actually advised their
customers not to build, but to
wait for lower prices. This is the
height of business folly. It is
poor business for the lumber
dealer and bad for his commun-
ity. Money is a liquid and un-
stable thing. The time for any
man to build is when he has the
money! Ninety-five per cent. of
the money made in your com-
munity will be spent at once. If
it is not spent for houses and
barns, it will go for automobiles.
If it is not spent for cribs and
granaries, it will resolve itself in-
to trips to pleasure resorts. If
it is not spent for fences and
sheds, it will be invested in imag-
inary oil or fictitious gold mines.
It will be spent. Let that sink
into your mind and decide wheth-
er your’ community will be. per-
manently better off if it is spent
forspermantnt improvements or
for evanescent pleasures.

We know a lumberman—an in-
telligent retailer, too—who is an
officer and a director in a hank.
The directors wished to build a

bank building this year, but he
counselled them to wait for lower
prices which were due to come
some time in the future. Gentlc-
men, when the lower prices come
no building will be built; let this
ramble through your brain—
when prices are low people do not
build. Low prices and poor busi-
ness walk hand in hand in the
lumber business. When lumber
prices are lowfi other’ prices will
be low and people will not have
the money with which to take ad-
vantake of conditions. Look back
over your periods of active busi-
ness and see whether you ever
sold a lot of lumber when prices

were low. It is to the retailers
interest to encourage business

now—not next year, and it is to
the interest of his community.

And just a word as to present
prices. Many dealers think lum-
berprices are too high. This is
a common fallacy. Lumber prices
are lower today than they should
be. They are lower than they are
going to be a little later. At pre-
sent prices the manufacturer can-
not make a reasonable profit. You
may not believe it, but it is true.
No industry can flourish unless
all branches are making a reason-
able profit.
the wholesaler, the retailer, all
must be allowed to live if any one
of the three is to prosper.

The retail lumber dealer who
wishes for a return to the old
price level is unconsciously wish-
ing for demoralization, hard
times, slack business, and trouble.
There is more complaint to the
retailer about prices when he is
selling at cost than when he is
making a living profit. If you do
not believe it pick a fight with
your competitor and figure a few
bills at actual cost. He will prob-
ably go below you and your cus-
tomer will think your are trying
to rob him.

Just buck up and tell the world
that lumber prices are not.as high
as they should be. That now is
the time to build and do your
share o fthe business while your
“community has the money. If
you think lumber prices are high,
just set out a crop of trees and
wait for the harvest. Lumber is
one of the few crops that is being
sold as far less than the cost of
replacement. You may figure
what it costs to grow a bushel of
wheat, but sit down with your
pencil and fifgure what it costs to
grow and produce a thousand ft.
of lumber. Prices high? Lumber
is the cheapest thing in the world
today.—Turned, Dennis & Low-

not of sufficient importance to affect the market as a whole. Inquiries
are a little better than recently, but are not brisk. In the North the
paper mills are going to pay the highest price ever paid for hemlock
logs this winter, and this undoubtedly will shorten the supply avail-
able for lumber.

The most encouraging feature of the hardwood market is the
heavy inquiry from railroad sources, this inquiry largely being for
special cuttings. There is also some demand from industrial sources,

_ especially for special cuttings. Business has been very light this week,
following the increase in freight rates. Buying is almost wholly for
immediate requirements and those buyers who could anticipate their
requirements for a few weeks in advance did everything possible to
place orders for stock before the increase in freight rates went into
. effect, and this in no small measure accounts for the present slowness
of the market. Cars are very scarce in the South and stocks are still
| low, while in some of the southern producing regions the market
seems to be more active than in the North. In the northern manu-
facturing districts inquiries have increased somewhat in volume and
stocks on hand at the mills are fairly large, being, broadly speaking,
about double those carried when the year opened.

Great Britain

ge There are no distinct features in connection with the general situ-
ation, and there has been a moderate consumption. In reviewing the
situation, one authority says it has been evident for a long time that
the British market could not digest more goods at present, and just
now it is only special sizes and qualities that are needed from abroad.

The prices which importers can obtain for average-quality wood
have only recently become profitable, owing to the heavy reduction in
freights, and as there is still enough average-quality wood in the coun-
‘try, fresh business is postponed until there is an immediate prospect
of turning over the goods. But although for such reasons as slow con-

_ sumption and financial stringency there would in any case have been
-an absence of many fresh contracts, yet the feeling of uncertainty
which has prevailed regarding our Russian policy has contributed
much towards keeping the market quiet. :

In regard to the trade at Liverpool, business generally remains
quiet, but firm, and the volume of business passing through has been
small owing to a slow demand. Values are inclined to weaken a little,

although for certain grades of lumber prices are fully maintained.

Fhe American rate of exchange continues low, and while working
costs keep up there is no prospect of any material decline in values.
At the same time, it is very difficult to predict the future trend

of the market, because if the autumn demand for timber of all de-
scriptions should find stocks insufficient to supply requirements, the

_ probability is that values will again increase considerably. .On the
other hand, stocks’are now ample to meet ordinary needs, and the
general opinion is that prices will certainly not fall much lower on

. account of the high costs of freight and production charges. Many
shippers are now trying to obtain business through cutting their
prices a little, but immediately trade begins to revive, then the market
will move up again in sympathy with the increasing demand.

Quebec Shipments Show Some Falling Off

The demand for timber and sawn lumber in the United King-
dom has assumed a conservative turn. This is evidenced by the
shipments from the port of Quebec, which are-not quite as active as
they were in the month of July. Quebec export houses discussing
the situation, are unanimous in the statement that the United King-
dom import firms are still very cautious in buying tendencies, and
only ordering what they really need. The labor unrest in Europe
with the continuation of high cost of living, has so impregnated the
public with the uncertainties of conditions, that construction and re-
construction are practically at a standstill. Nevertheless a very large
shipment of timber and deals has taken place from the port of Que-
bec during the months of July and August but the export houses
were prepared for a much larger business. >

As regards the fall trade, the exporters do not anticipate any
improvement. They say that the fall shipments from Quebec do
not look bright, inasmuch as the importers on the other side of the

~ ocean have stopped buying. Only an ordinary business of absolute
requirements is expected. These indications also apply to the Unit-
ed States market. In the meantime, the regular liners of all steam-
ship companies persist in maintaining their freight rates, 200 shil-
lings per standard for sawn lumber and proportionately for timber.

In American hardwoods there is no change to re ori the mz
conditions. Prices continue firm, although there is a tendency in s
quarters to reduce values a little in order to facilitate business. Trade
is, unfortunately, very slow, even for this holiday period of the year,
and there seems to be no prospect of any revival for a month or two to
come, at any rate. “ae

In speaking of the law of supply and demand, a recent edition of
“Timber” says: The lack of cohesion in the American lumber indus-
try has led to the neglect of the law of supply and demand, and thougl
the industry is at present prosperous, it shows disturbing indication
of instability. Strong individualism has dominated it, and in a4 ver
un-American way it has been slow at developing common ideas abou
its products. In connection with timber, there is a difficulty, non
existent in the case of the iron and steel and other industries, in a
sembling the raw material at a few centres where manufacture mi
be concentrated, and this fact impedes co-ordination, “St

The lumber industry in the Pacific Northwest and in the Sou
labors under a heavy handicap in the burden of timberland invest
ments. Toward the end of the last century lavish gifts of public land
and a vague system of land legislation permitted the spread of pr
ownership, resulting in a rapid and extensive capitalization of stump-

are, largely with borrowed funds. The effect has been that ‘the cutti ig
of lumber has been governed in an increasing degree by financial
siderations rather than by the demands of the market, and the e

over-production has been promoted. } ‘e at 9

Violent fluctuations in output and prices have been produced vy
the non-adjustment of supply and demand and the general lack of co-
operation. The competition between different regions and between
mills in the same region is destructive, as the lumber industry is ca
able of an output of at least 50 per cent. greater than its present one
which would represent about twice the present consumption. =

The great difficulty in getting a sufficient supply of suitable rood
for sleepers is forcing importers to look well ahead, and large en-
quiries are now on the market for 1921. The free-on-board price for
sawn sleepers,in Sweden is quoted variously, but seven or eight kronor —
per piece is the figure many shippers are asking; it is, however, diffi- —
cult to get any quantity for prompt delivery. It is interesting to note
that efforts are being made to revive this business with the ports in —
the Baltic. provinces whence sleepers used to be shipped in large
quantities; but it must be a long time before big quantities are avail-
able. The demand for sleepers is always expanding. There will be an ©
enormous demand in Russia as soon as settled conditions are restored;
in Sweden also very extensive operations are in progress for the im- _
provement of the railway system, and there is already a heavy demand
in that country for all the sleepérs which can be produced. How the —
world demand, therefore, will be supplied is a problem which it is not —

extensively used, and possibly with the increasing cost of wooden —
sleepers substitutes will be found. It seems clear that it is not too
early for importers to book up their requirements for next year if they _
can do so. Pea CHE hd

The tramp vessels, however, have made a further reduction to 17 ae

The local market is very dull and this applies to the whole ég
a8

vince of Quebec. Construction is practically at a standstill on ioe
count of the high cost of material. The population ‘and wealth of
Quebec City is growing apace and dwelling accommodation is at a
premium. Nevertheless no new buildings are going up and, judging
by the temper of the people with the means to build, against the pre- —
vailing high cost of material, who say they can invest their money to
better advantage, these conditions are liable to last for a long period

The recent drop in the price of lumber has not affected the city
retail trade, who contend that as they had made their purchases un-
der high-priced conditions, they can’t afford a reduction in their
quotations without material losses. The position is so acute in this —
respect that retail lumber dealers cannot make any sales and build-
ing contractors are idle, with the exception of carrying on needea —

city. In explanation, Mayor Samson informs the “Canada Lumber-
man’s” correspondent that it would cost too much to build working-
men’s houses under present prevailing cost of material unless the
workingmen were prepared to pay a rental of, approximately, $30
per month.

' The movement of pulpwood from all parts of the province, es-
pecially along the various lines of railway east of Quebec, is meet-
ing with more satisfactory results. Quebec firms interested in this

» trade say they have less difficulty in procuring the necessary Ameri-

‘can rolling stock for the shipment of the wood to the American
paper mills,, and admit this change in freight car conditions has
come about since the “Canada Lumberman” made the graft expos-
ure.

It may be added that railroad executive officers, who have had
their attention called to the exposure made in the “Canada Lumber-
man,” are quietly investigating the charges that Canadian dealers in
pulp have been obliged to pay $5 in graft per car or else go without.
One important railway official, discussing the question with the
writer, said the railroad had not the least conception that such a
practice existed and blamed the shippers for not giving information
to the proper authorities at the very beginning, saying no railroad
would tolerate such dishonesty and the guilty partiés would not
only be dismissed but arrested and prosecuted. An inspector of the
Dominion Railway Board, also spoken to, expressed his surprise that
shippers had submitted to the graft without making complaint, and
at the same time admitted that it had come to his knowledge about
Canadian freight train conductors in charge of trains drawing empty
cars, shipping off cars at stations for a consideration,

The pulpwood manufacturers in this district are satisfied in the
change that is now giving them more cars for shipment of pulpwood

to the United States. They have been and still are getting out heavy

cuts this summer with the expectation of big shipments to the Ameri-
can market this coming winter. All stations along the line of the
Intercolonial and Quebec and Lake St. John Railways east and north
of Quebec are receiving large quantities of this wood. The farmers

in the Province of Quebec, having come to realize the value of pulp-

wood, are giving much of their time to cutting wood for the rossing
mills and at the same time clearing off all their woodlands along

- many lines of railway.

Orders Decline in the Ottawa Valley District

vA reduction in the amount of business done and a considerable
shortage of woads labor, were the principal features of the Ottawa
lumber market for the opening period of September, as compared
with the last two weeks <f August. Prices held firm.
-,The slackening of orders and inquiries was attributed in several
circles of the trade to be due to the cutomary August lull in buying.
Strong hopes were entertained that a good autumn business would
resuit. Dealers generally did net believe that ‘the prevailing high

_ prices for lumber had anything to do with the slackening of the

tail yards both in Canada and the United States and referred to this
as now reflecting itself in the Canadian wholesale and manufacturing
_ trade.

Taken on the whole the trade was better than that of a year ago
and the market seemed a yreat deal steadier, and the outlook toward
building much improved. ‘During the past year the highest prices
known to the lumber trade in the Ottawa Valley have prevailed.
Some persons predicted when these prices went into effect that it
would be a “sky rocket” market, and that the bottom would drop out
of it in a few months’ time. Such a prediction has not come true nor

above factors into consideration it is hard to see the justification for

What little demand there was came principally from the United
States, and was largely for the middle grades. Canadian busine
fell off proportionately. Stocks used for interior work with th
for sheeting in outside construction were expected to show consi
erable activity within the next two months.

The foreign car situation remained about the same as
during the closing part of August, and there was sufficient -
stock on hand to handle the lessened number of shipments to b:
warded. Compared with last year and the year before the car
ation was considerably better, but this, shippers believed, was a’ mi
entirely due to the dropping away of business, and the increa
number of cars. In short, conditions seemed to be getting mo
to normal so far as the car situation went. Little sore ae

Export conditions to Europe remained about the same. re

Outside of demand and selling, which was chiefly the concer

time pretty well occupied on figuring out their bush operations

sincere desire on the part of the lumber operators to get out z

them was the high cost of food supplies and the apparent shor

The auction sale of timber lands and farms of Mr. T. A. Hurley, Bliss
field, N. B., was held recently. Two of the timber lots, containing 100 ac
each, were bid in by R. V. McCabe, and the remaining 600 acres of im
lands, as well as farm and stock, were bid in by John T. Sutherland.

General curtailment of lumbering operations for the next logging seas-
on is reported from St. John, N. B. Fewer crews and smaller in mak ;
said to be going into the woods. The reason gives is the slow mov
manufactured lumber from the millyards of the province. Freight co

assigned for that.

| Frank Beban, Extension, B. C., contemplates the erection of a sawmill
: at a cost of $75,000.

Six dry-kilns filled with shingles, a loading shed. also fairly jammed with
malterial, and several C. P. R. box cars in process of loading were burned
recently in a spectacular fire at the McNair Shingle Company’s new plant at

; the head of Burrard Inlet. The loss is estimated to be in the vicinity of
$75,000. The mill office also burned, but the mill itself was saved.

The Champion Shingle Mill at the foot of Campbell Avenue, near the
B. C. E. R. Co. New Westminster-Marpole tracks, was destroyed by fire, the
loss being roughly estimated at $20,000. The mill had not been in opera-
tion for some time so there was no stock of shingles on hand but two weav-

ing machines and an electric motor valued at $7,000 were destroyed.

Damage to the amount of $10,000 was done by a bush fire recently which
spread into the yards of the Partridge Lumber Company at Mile 94, Greater
; Winnipeg Water District line, it was learned from officials of the wate
district. The spur track into the yards was also damaged. There were

- 100,000 cedar, posts valued at $7,000 belonging to the company burned as
well as 250 peeled cedar poles and a flat car belonging to the Montreal and
Atlantic Company valued at $3,625 and railway ties valued at $75.

A recent despatch from Estevan, Sask., says Norman Ross, a superin-
_tendent of forestry under the Department of Interior, was a visitor to Este-
van lately, His particular mission is to promote propagation*of trees ov
the prairies and, until now, he has been under the impression that the Do-
minion experimental farm at Indian Head was the sole reliable producing
centre for nursery stock. But, having heard of the Prairie Nurseries at
4 Estevan, he came down to have a look and to his surprise found trees and
: shrubs sufficient to embower a promenade from Estevan to kingdom come.

. Clarence Hoard, president of the Bainbridge Lumber Co., of Birnie,
B. C., was recently elected president of the Victoria Shipowners Limited
This later company is a co-operative concern, which, with the assistance of
the federal government, is building four lumber-carrying schooners at Vic-
toria,,B. C. The new company have made good progress in the construc-
tion of these vessels, three keels having been laid down at the Cholberg ship-
yards, and it is expected that the first of these will be completed by the end
of the year. These vessels are to be operated in the lumber-carrying trade.
The Westminster Shook mills, Limited, has taken over the modern box
plant of the Lumber Products, Limited, New Westminster, B. C. It is ex-
pected that the new firm will have this plant in operation in the near future.
The Lumber Product’s box factory has a capacity of 10,000,000 ft’ of box
shooks per year and it is anticipated that the increased demand for material
from China’ Straits Settlement and South America will take care of this
output. Mr. R. L. Cliff, who is president of the new company. is a well-
- known New Westminster business man, and is president of the B. C. Manu-
facturing C».. Limited. the Pacific Mills Co., Limited, and Food Prodvcts,

. Premier Oliver and Hon. T. D. Pattullo, Minister of Lands, ar-
- rived recently in Prince Rupert, B.C., after a two weeks, tour of the
| northern coast district and the central interior. Following an inspec-
: tion of the pulp and paper plants on the Coast, Mr. Pattullo spoke
before an audience of the amended legislation appertaining to timber
limits suitable for pulp-making. In order to encourage the establish-
ment of more plants, permission may be granted for the cutting in
half of the license fees where the department considers the limits bet-
ter suited for pulp and paper making than for lumbering. The min-
ister stated that this change was resulting in greatly increased interest
among manufacturers, with the immediate prospect of the establish-
ment of one or more plans in the near future.
Prince George is in the limelight at present as the prospective
_ centre of pulp-making on a large scale. The immense stands of spruce
a4 and balsam near that city have been investigated this summer and
neg tiations with the timber-holders carried on. Mr. Pattzllo and
Premier Oliver will investigate the situation at Prince George before
; returning to Victoria.

For Economy and Convenience

The question of what milk to
use in a lumber camp is largely
one of transportation and_ stor-
age. Fresh liquid milk is, there-
fore, entirely impossible. One
must look for a form of milk
which, while retaining its natural
Aavor and full food value, is re-
duced in bulk and weight and has
greater keeping qualities than
liquid milk. This milk must of
course be low in price and pur-
chasable in large quantities.

Klim is the solution of the lum-
ber camp’s milk difficulties.

It is fresh separated milk, pas-
teurized, and reduced to a fine
powder. It contains all the food
elements of separated milk in their
natural state, perfectly soluble in

water. It is convenient because:

the exact quantity desired can be
used without endangering the
keeping qualities of the powder
left in the tin. The natural flavor

of the fresh separated milk re-
mains unchanged in Klim.

Klim bulks smaller and weighs
less than any other form of milk.
{t can be shipped anywhere in any
climate by freight and requires no
refrigeration or. special storage
because it is dry and will keep in-
definitely. A whole season’s sup-
ply can be shipped in at one time.
Klim is most economic al—it costs
less and there is no waste.

Klim, when whipped into water,
becomes again fresh, natural-
flavored separated milk and can
be used as such in soups, gravies,
bread, biscuits, pies, cakes, tea. cof-
fee, cocoa and other foods and
drinks.

Klim is sold by all wholesale
grocers and supply houses in 10-
Ib. tins, 6 tins to a case—each tin
makes 40 quarts. Order with your
grocery supplies.

Simmons Bunks Ensure Their Rest and Comfort

A Simmons Double Deck Steel Bunk

The construction is boltless. The top and bottom frames are complete units,

strongly riveted. The upper and lower frames lock securely in the posts and are

reinforced by interlocking braces. The “Knock-down” Construction is much

appreciated, as a complete bunk-house or bunk-car of Simmons equipment can be
_ taken down, moved, or placed in storage on short notice.

HE standard Steel Sleeping Equipment manufactured and supplied by Simmons

T Limited is fast supplanting old-fashioned. unsanitary and uncomfortable

wooden beds, because it is more efficient from every point of view. Simmons
Bunks are built for sleep and therefore keep workers in good health and contented.

Simmons Bunks are built to stand hard usage. They cannot be injured or dam-
aged, or used for fuel, intentionally or otherwise. They are 100% sanitary. Water
will not injure them. Camps or cars in which they are used can be thoroughly
scrubbed or fumigated without removing the bunks. As they give the same ser-
vice season after season, expensive replacements are unknown.

Simmons Bunks are standard equipment in thé Maintenance Cars of the C.P.R.,
the G.T.R., Canadian National Railway and Canadian Government Railway—and in
the camps of such large organizations as Riordon Pulp & Paper Co., Shawinigan
Engineering Co., Dominion Construction Co., F. H. Hopkins Co., Beattie & Morrow,

Now You Will Fin

You already know Beaver Board.
You know how Beaver Board has
developed from a small beginning until
now it is a basic building material in
use all over the world. Now Beaver
Board is expanding into allied lines—
enlarging its field for better service.

Vulcanite Roofings have been selected as
a “Beaver Quality” product, because of their
merit. They have never been extensively
advertised, yet for over eighteen years they
have steadily forged ahead on quality of

product alone until today Vulcanite’s manu-
facturing facilities are larger than those of
any single roofing manufacturer.

Through Vulcanite’s consolidation with
Beaver Board, Vulcanite service is now
being extended to the Canadian trade in a
broad consistent way. A completely equip-
ped plant is now being put into operation
at Ottawa, Ontario. A forceful advertising
Campaign is soon to get under way. It
will be combined with a complete line of
effective selling helps to identify Vulcanite
dealers.

In all this publicity, the “Beaver Quality”

trade mark, already well known to the Can-
adian trade, will be emphasized again and
again as “The Mark that Insures the Re-
sult.” Added to Vulcanite quality and
Vulcanite advertising, it will doubly insure
Vulcanite success.

Get complete details of this new Vulcanite
proposition and take advantage of the big-
ger profit opportunities it offers you. Write

The Algoma Range

A Steel Range for Camp use. Built especially for this
purpose. It possesses features that are attractive in useful-
ness but not in beauty. A blunt, hardy Range with a wonder-
ful record for Service.

The Algoma is built in three sizes—each one has the
three necessities,—

(1) An Oven of ample capacity;
(2) A cooking surface, open and capacious;
(3) A Firebox, big yét economical.

The Body and Oven are made of Steel that will last. Each
piece of steel is solidly rivetted to the other. Great care is
exercised to ensure the complete rigidity of the entire con-
struction.

The cooking surface is cast-iron, solid and thick; there-
fore the heat barely affects it. There are a variety of sec-
tions.

The Firebox is lined with weighty pieces of cast-iron.
Strenuous usage may wear these linings away—when this
happens, replacement is easy and the Firebox is made as good
as new.

The Gates are the duplex pattern—two bars, each heavy
and perfectly made. Simply operated with one shaker bar.

The Camp Comfort |

Rr

A heater that radiates direct heat from the body when ‘Ss
burning wood. Simple, effective and efficient. The body is
filled with wood and paper the light applied and the heater is
operating.

The Lumberman’s comfort in cold days and nights. Heat
radiates in all directions from the round steel body. In the
coolest weather the atmosphere around the Heater is com-
fortably warm. ;

The “Camp Comfort” is built of well tested materials that —
can withstand rough usage. The two ends are heavy cast-
iron and the door is so large that huge chunks of wood can
be fed to the Heater with ease.

The body sits on four cast-iron legs which fit into rigid |
cleats. Side or top shelves are supplied and are very con-

_ venient for temporary use in keeping foodstuffs and liquids at

a high temperature.

The “Camp Comfort” is a Camp Heater. It is simply
made. It produces the required results—See it.

McCLARY’S ability to make “Good, Stoves and Cooking Utensils”

is recognized by all users.

Seventy-three years solid experience in

the manufacture of Stoves gives us the machinery and skilled man . :

power to produce highly specialized articles.

Home in Kingston Roofed with Brantford Asphalt Slates

Beauty, Fire Resistance, Economy

_ Combined in this Roofing

throughout Canada, not only for barns and

small buildings, but for the most expensive

homes, churches, golf clubs and public buildings,
is Brantford Asphalt Slates.

Brantford Asphalt Slates are made from a
special grade of long fibred felt which is exceed-
ingly absorbent. This is thoroughly saturated
and coated with Asphalt and surfaced with
erushed slate, which is embedded so firmly into
the Asphalt that it cannot even be kicked off with
the heel. This makes a splendid surface of beau-
tiful reddish brown and dark green—a surface
that never fades.

This grade of roofing is sold in three different
forms. Brantford Asphalt Slates, Brantford As-
phalt Slab Slates and Brantford Crystal Roofing.

Eb HE roofing that is being sold more and more

The Slabs are really 4 slates in one and save
time in roofing a large building.

Crystal Roofing is the same material as the
Slates, only in roll form, and is especially adapted
for barns and out-buildings requiring a permanent
protective covering. ;

Asphalt is one of the most water-proof mater-
ials known, and Brantford Asphalt Slates being
non-absorbent do not become water soaked or rot,
neither do they crack nor fall off. They possess
one great advantage over any other roofing made
in that they cement together under the heat of
the sun and form a solid, pavement-like surface
on the roof, under which no rain or snow can
drive, and no individual slates become loose or fall
off. Highly recommended by prominent and ex-
perienced builders.

Brantford
Asphalt Slates

will be used extensively in the future, and will play
a big part in the great Period of Reconstruction
which is just beginning.

Lumber dealers will find this a most profitable
line to handle. Customers will buy it when. order-

ing lumber, and it not only develops into a profit-
able sideline, but also brings new customers and
helps increase your lumber sales. At least put in
a small stock of this roofing. You'll need no urg-
ing to send a large repeat order.

Let us send you full information, prices and samples

Reduces Fire Risk ]

. The presence of dust on walls, beams, rafters, and the accumulation of shavings
in the planing mill, greatly increase the fire risk.

And also the choking of machines with chips and shavings, has a tendency to
militate against an efficient day’s work.

Adequate protection against these hazards can be secured only by a successful
dust-collecting system.

(REG, U. S. PAT. OFF.)
-Planing- -Mill Exhausters

~ Sturtevant Systems have given splendid service wherever they are installed in
Canadian planing mills. The powerful draft draws the dust and shavings from the
tool edge, carrying them with lightning speed to some point outside, giving the
operator a chance to work at better advantage.

RESPONSIBILITY

At night—when the people of your town are taking recreation—
in places of amusement or in their homes—this is the time
when the safety of your Municipality weighs most heavily on
those responsible for its protection from a great fire.

The unexpected fire comes to every town and too often the
distress and loss of life and property, left in its wake, can-
not be reckoned.

The conscience of those responsible is clear if a fire alarm
box is at every main street intcrsection. The

Northern Electric

. GAMEWELL
Fire Alarm System

is the proven quickest and most positive known means of

alarm. The telephone cannot compare with it for speed and
accuracy. Instantaneous in its action it utilizes pre-
cious seconds—no time is lost. In most cases, the fire
is undcr control from its infancy.

The fact that 99% of the fire alarm systems in Can-
ada are Northern Electric Gamewell has saved the
Deminion untold thousands of dollars and many lives.

If we can be of service to you in

this important matter, call on us.

The Wonderful Strength of the
Duplex Limited

N actual photograph of a Duplex

Limited being lifted clear of the

ground by a cable around the wind-
shield frame.

This wonderful strength in the cowl,
while perhaps startling, is still only
typical of the extra strong, rigid con-
struction of the Duplex Limited in
every detail and in every part.

It is this great Duplex strength and
honesty of mechanical construction
that makes the Duplex Limited a
truck that a business man can buy
and use on a practical business basis.

High Speed—Complete Elec-
trical Equipment (Including
Starter) Pneumatic Tired, 3000
to 5000 pounds capacity.

Getting Out of The Woods With a
Duplex 4-Wheel Drive

HERE are real reasons for

the steadily growing use of
Duplex 4-Wheel Drive Trucks
in the Lumber and Logging In-
dustry.

These men are hard headed, prac-
tical business men. They buy trucks
for business use and their trucks must
make good for them on a business
basis and you can leave it to them to
know definitely whether or not their

‘truck is making good.

It is a fact that many lumber and
logging companies say that the Du-
plex 4-Wheel Drive is the only suc-
cessful truck they ever owned.

Perhaps your experience has been
such that you are just a little doubtful
of trucks. If that is so then you are
just the man for whom the Duplex
Dealer has a real message.

The Duplex 4-Wheel Drive is a
three and one-half ton truck that can
operate with or without trailer. It
has power in every wheel. It keeps

moving so long as the wheels can find

bottom.

Its record for low upkeep, for
steady, consistent operation, its all
around ruggedness and dependability

have made this Duplex 4-Wheel Drive
the leading heavy duty truck of
America. It has back of it eleven
years of continuously successful opera-
tion. It is time tried and use tested.

These photographs that you see in
the Duplex advertisements are real
photographs—taken on the job and
during working time. They are not
posed just for the picture. The loads
shown are real loads that are really
being hauled for a purpose. There is
nothing of the movie thriller about
them. Every truck shown is owned
by somebody and working for the
man that owns it.

Write us direct for portfolio of
photographs and for letters from users
in your own line of business. Men
that you know to be good business
men and that you know would never
write a “testimonial” letter that
wasn’t absolutely true.

You can depend on anything you
read about the Duplex—and unhesi-
tatingly believe what the Duplex
dealer tells you. He can demonstrate
everything he says.

This is a business truck—built for
business—and sold on a clean, honest,
American business basis of value re-
ceived for évery dollar you put into it.

See the Duplex dealer near you. He willlet the truck talk for itself.
He is a responsible man with a sound reputation behind him and he
lives up to it. The Duplex is always a safe investment. Get the
facts for yourself and if you have trucking problem get them now.

Kirkaldy Test of
ALUMINUM GENUINE BABBITT :

In a test for ability to carry load, Kirkaldy, the recog-
nized English authority, found that Aluminum Genuine
Babbitt withstood a pressure of 24,600 lbs. tothe square
inch.

Nl Mt ell

In lumber machinery, where the bearings are
‘ subjected to especially severe service, such
as in lumber-gangs, Aluminum Genuine Bab-
bitt will stand the gaff with practically no
effect on the bearings.

sg Vit PMMA

ee

tia

| For general service, where the bearings are

| not subjected to such great loads or heavy
vibrations as to require Aluminum Genuine,
use Manganese Antifriction Metal.

Make Saws Cut

And Planers Hum

Your saws may be well filed, swaged nicely and rounded
perfectly, but unless your mill’s belting is correct you do not
get an honest day’s work from your machinery.

You will find potential assistance and an increased out-
put by using Graton & Knight Standardized Series Leather
Belting. This series is composed of a number of brands and
types of belting standardized both in manufacture and appli-
cation.

Why not avail yourself of the opportunity of calling in
a G & K engineer and letting him analyze your power trans
mission. You incur no obligation for this service. Your
power transmission must be right if your production is go-
ing to be right.

Every G & K Belt will give rugged service because it is
built for this kind of service. Your saws will cut and your
planers will hum a real tune when your plant is standardized

on G & K Leather Belting.

Kendall Nigger

es oe ‘

es

| Where the carriage is of medium weight, unless in
the hands of an experienced man, the danger of

i. wrecking the carriage is especially great.

The “WATEROUS KENDAL NIGGER” is prac-
tically accident-proof. While it possesses both the
speed and power of the ordinary Steam Nigger, it
is so designed that a green operator can do quick
and effective work without endangering the carriage
in any way.

By attaching the Nigger Bar to one cylinder only,
one motion of the operating lever turns the log and
a quite distinct and separate motion is required to
load it.
The stroke of the cylinder controlling the loading
motion is made very short and thus further pre-
eludes the possibility of a serious mishap.
aay The Kendall Nigger is constructed to be power-

- ful and rapid in action. The cylinders are 10 in.
and 8 in. in diameter, pistons are steam cush-
ioned at both ends of stroke, valves are adjust-

able to permit increase or decrease of operating
speed without affecting the power in the machine.

Fah, OA

SA ele ee
eee oa

Nigger Bar is of wrought iron, dogs are extra
wide, top dog is winged, a steel roller is supplied.
No floor plate is necessary, All lever and crank
connections are made short and direct, so that
the machine gives instant response to the move-
ne ments of the sawyer’s lever.

_ A great many of the Niggers are already in use in

mills, where speed and accuracy on the log deck are
essential, but where a medium weight carriage is
operated. If your conditions are similar the
' WATEROUS KENDAL NIGGER will give un-
equalled satisfaction.

The SHIMER Fast Feed Expansion Matcher Head

With 12 High Speed Bits

The head is built heavy where the strain is and is devoid of all angles or openings,

which lessen the wind resistance and cannot block with shavings.

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.

oigh SPATEND

The material used in the |
manufacture of “Gripoly” |
is composed of 85 per cent. |

pure camel hair, and 15 | —
per cent. long staple cot- |
ton, solidly woven to yield |
a tremendous strength |
and to resist the severest |
strain. “Gripoly” grips |
the pulley, and never slips. |

“Gripoly” is a solid woven
belting that defies the fric-
tion of shifters, guide
forks, or flange pulleys.

Unequalled for use in lum-
ber mills, and gives real
insurance against costly
breakdowns, and losses in
power and time.

7 THESE EDGES
are composed of in-
destructible strands
interwoven with the
solid body of the
belt.

“Gripoly” is thoroughly waterproof, and is
equally good for running in wet or dry places.

| Will bring the Customer Back
When Price Won't!

HE customer who comes back to you

season in and season out invariably
does so because of one thing—he gets satis-
faction from the lumber you sell him.

That satisfaction can come only from
quality lumber.

Your service may be good, your prices
right—but it’s the quality of the lumber —
you sell that counts.

Just now we have some splendid stocks
on hand that, we believe, would interest you
in Pine, Spruce, Hemlock, B.C. Lumber and
Timber — quality guaranteed.

We have absolutely no connection with or interest in any other firm
bearing a name similar to ours. |

he In these villages we have other interests than our plants and lumber.

ae There are good SCHOOLS and CHURCHES, which we liberally support. In order that the schools may be the best, we

give thousands of dollars annually to supplement state funds to employ teachers.

a sei is ihe human toleration.

cer For many years lumbermen in the Georgian Bay district had logs

3 "stolen. The practice grew so in extent, that to stop the thieving, the

40g Pickers’ Association was formed, consisting of the leading firms
_the Midland district. This association employs regular log pick-

S, which are authorized to pick up derelicts bearing any lumber-

un’s marks, and there has been a regular accounting among the
1S. But even the vigilance of this well-organized and well-man-

aged association has been eluded and the log pirates have, it is re-
d, been doing a thriying business during the past two or three

stolen and every effort been made to cover up the trade mark of the
various firms either by sawing off the ends or otherwise defacing |
the “insignia.” Lumbermen, as a rule, are generally good-natured © i
and are not penurious, but to have their product corralled by un-
scrupulous individuals, has resulted in prosecutions in the Parry 4
Sound district.. It is hoped that the prompt and effective actiom |
which has been taken, will prove a deterrent to a practice which has |
been growing alarmingly of late.
Some years ago the Timber Marks Act was passed, making it a
criminal offence to pick up logs, bearing the registered marks of lum-
bermen, or to cut off or deface the marks. Heavy penalties were —
imposed, but these levies did not deter operators in the business. It
is charged that one log picker had gathered as much as 400 logs,
which he had stored away, and it is alleged that certain persons have
acted as a “fence” to some of the log pirates, and bought the timber
bearing the stamp of Georgian Bay lumbermen. It is even con- |
tended that the log pirates have not only been paid a smaller price
than the market values for what timber they have gathered, but also
have been victimized in the measurement. ‘
Nowadays a lumberman has to put up with sufficient worries
without in any way having his logs taken by means that are neither |
honorable, just nor fair. It is to be hoped that the action, which
has been instituted by the authorities in the Georgian Bay district,
will have a salutary effect in checking the free and lawless manner

in which certain persons havé in the past gone about stealing tim-

What Team Play Will Do in Mills

Safety week will be observed in Ontario during the week statey
ing Sunday, Oct. 10. The idea was conceived by the members of —
the Ontario Safety League and various other organizations in the ~
safety line co-operated with them in an extensive drive aga:nst acci-
dents. The object is to teach accident prevention to every man,
woman and child, and an impressive and somewhat unique education-
al campaign was carried out. The methods served to arouse much —

interest and excited the curiosity of even the most ind-fferent. Pos- _
ters, letters, advertisements, meetings and safety shows provided — a
v

liberal enlightenment and the schools and colleges, boy scouts, mov- At
ing picture houses and others all joined in the splendid work. oat
has been estimated that from 80 per cent. to 90 per cent. of the acci-
dents which occur from day to day, whether in factories, on the |
streets or in the workshops, could be eliminated with care, throught fs:
and judgment. hy j

Wherever an extensive campaign has been conducted, the re- ap
sults have been most gratifying. This is evidenced by the outcome "
of the recent “no accident” two weeks in the Spanish River Pulp Sie

Paper Mills. Two thousand men are required to operate these — mi
plants night and day in Espanola, Sault Ste. Marie and Sturgeon _ a

Falls. The result of the propaganda, united effort and team play of
this vast army of employees was that there were only two minor
‘accidents. At the Sturgeon Falls plant, which was recently visit-
ed by the members of the Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Associ-
ation on the occasion of their annual trip, there was not a single.
mishap in any of the departments. This is, indeed,
showing.

The object of the campaign was to instill carefulness into the
minds of all the men and women employees of the company, and the
splendid result goes to show. what can be done when a group of

people make up their minds to accomplish a certain shine Pie

the corresponding weeks of the three preceding months, the totat °

number of accidents in the three mills were: May, 37; June, 36; July,
29. The reduction from this to two demonstrates the possibilities of
educating and arousing workers to aggressive effort in a good cause
—one which should enlist the sympathy and support of all, not only
the men but also the heads of departments and the executive staff.
The methods adopted by the Spanish River Mills were striking and
significant. An electric “safety sign” hung over the time office;
every employee wore a red “no accident” tag, and the mills were
carefully posted with various bulletins. The superintendent and
foremen met frequently previous to the inauguration of the campaign
and discussed ways and means of giv:ng effect to the movement.

A recent issue of the Spanish River News contains the follow-
ing summing up of the propaganda:

Next year we will try again a “no accident” two weeks, and
hope for a clean record. Simply because the “no accident” fort-
night is over is absolutely no reason why we should not see a very

considerable reduction in the number of accidents in our mills. Heads
of departments and superintendents should see to it that safety ap-
pliances already in place are kept there. The moment a safety ap-
pliance is removed for repairs and the repairs are finished, that ap-
pliance should immediately be returned to its proper place. Em-
_ ployees observing dangerous places should report the places at once
to the-r foreman or superintendent, who will see to it that the
hazardous place is properly guarded. We are sorry the sheet 1s not
absolutely clean, but the record as it stands is nothing to be ashamed
of.

Motor Delivery for the Retailer

One of the live issues at the present time in connection with any
business is the reduction of overhead costs and to render at the low-
est outlay the best service possible without in any way impairing its
efficiency or value. The retail lumberman has many problems to
solve and among them distribution is, possibly, as perplexing as any
‘that arise. How the best service can be provided in the most ec -
nomic manner and the forest products handled expeditiously,. has
caused a great deal of d'scussion regarding ways and means. There
is no doubt the motor truck is constantly play.ng a more important
part in the work of the retail lumber yard. In the cities the truck
has long occupied a foremost place but in certain rural communities
there is still some doubt concerning the wisdom of purchasing and

operating one.

With a v-ew to presenting full information on this phase of ium-
ber merchandising, the “Canada Lumberman” has obtained the opin-
ions of representative dispensers of wood goods in various parts oi

nthe Dominion. Many strongly favor the possession and employment

of a motor truck—in fact, would not do without it, while others are
equally decided that in their own case, it would not pay them to in-
stall such a convenience, and point to peculiar, local conditions.

In this issue there is presented arguments, pro and con, with
_ respect to motor service and delivery, and it will well repay any re-

tail lumberman to approach the question with an open mind and find

out all that he can regarding the original cost, maintenance, opera-
tion, uses, etc., of a truck. Some figures are given comparing the
expenses of owning and operating a truck with that of delivery by
“horse and wagon. There are also various other features touched
upon which will prove interesting and instructive.

In succeeding issues further reference will be made from time to
time to this important matter, and the latest data presented regard-
ing disbursements, service and other items, which enter into the con-
sideration and adoption of this modern means of transportation. In

the more populous centres the truck is used almost exclusively by

- lumber dealers where the streets and country are fairly level and the
roads good, but in some of the rural sections much has been said
against the motor and the advocates of the horse and cart are still
quite numerous.

Getting Proper Price for Product i oar:

At a meeting of the directors of the Audit Bureau of Circula-
tion held recently in Toronto, considerable discussion took place on
matters affecting th® Canadian situation. Stanley Clague, sande ‘
ing director of the bureau, made some timely observations “on the
newsprint situation. He said that to his mind the publishing aoe
ness is the worst example of merchandising in the whole realm of |
business and that it was particularly so today in view of ‘short-
age and consequent high price of newsprint. “Can you,” he "said,
“point to any other business where the finished product is sa
less than the cost of the raw material and yet with |

Truck Economy.

_ The fundamentals of motor truck operating economy
might be summarized under four points:

1. The ability of the truck to do its work.

. The efficiency of the routing and delivery systems.

Does it pay the average retail lumber man to use a truck in his
business? This question has been discussed many times in the.
“Canada Lumberman,” and it is interesting to learn what the readers
of this paper have to say on a subject of such wide and outstanding
_ importance. Opinions naturally suffer and whether it is economy
_ for the retail dealer to employ such a convenience would on the whole
seem to be answered in the affirmative.
Here are the views: of representative lumber merchants from
_ many sections of the country and a perusal of them is worth while:
A, Coates & Sons, of Burlington, Ont—We have only operated
a truck for one year, hence we have not had the experience of some
of our friends in the business. However, we will endeavor to give
“you our views on the subject. We are using a 134 ton Packard.
' This, we figure a two-ton capacity without overloading, and we give
you below the cost for operating the truck for one year, including
_ gasoline, oil, repairs, depreciation, as against our team for same
period. Our reason for a two-ton truck is that it will replace the
team», as a team load is about the usual size that we want to deliver
in our town and district. It may be different in a city on paved
streets. We are situated about three blocks from the station, at
~ which we unload our lumber, and find the truck very economical for
this work. The truck does not stand while the load is being put on,
as we use the lumber buggies, and have the truck equipped to handle
them. We also have a hard rubber tired, two-wheeled trailer, which
__we employ when the load for delivery exceeds the carrying capacity
of the truck. This, of course, works out much better on long hauls.
- The old saying is just as true in the lumber business as in men’s
_ furnishings, “That you might just as well be out of business as out
of date.” The merchant who does not keep pace with the time will
- soon go back, and this is the principal reason for using a truck to-
_ day. We are unable to give you the quantity of lumber handled.
The truck travelled 10,000 miles and cost in twelve months $890 for
_ gasoline, repairs; etc. The cost of maintaining a team for twelve

[> D.C. Baird, St. Marys, Ont.—I use two Ford one-ton trucks
__which we usually load up to two tons to a load and as yet have never
had any trouble to handle around the town which is very hilly. I
am very much in favor of motor trucks in comparison with horses,
as I consider them by far the cheaper, both as to upkeep and saving
of time in labor, which is a great item in the cost of running any
| _ business in the present day. In comparison as to upkeep, my garage
_ bill for two trucks averages about $25,00 per month, whereas the
cost of feed alone for one horse which I use for my work during the
_ four winter months, averaged $21.50 per month. ;
_. The trucks are used for delivering lumber and boxes and also
unloading cars of lumber. I have about a mile to draw lumber from
_ the station to the mill. Here is one place that I find considerable
. saving in time, as my trucks average 10 hours work daily, every day
it is fit to work. With the horses it took 1% hours for every trip
eS the station for a load of lumber, whereas the trucks make it in

also find that it is much easier to get men to run trucks than to drive
horses. This is my third summer for using these trucks and it has
not cost me over $30.00 a year for each truck for any repairs and
overhauling, which I have done every wintér. They are then in No.
1 shape to start work in the spring. Heavier trucks might do the
work better but for upkeep I do not think that they-can be beat,
considering the outlay and all repairs for these trucks are easy to
obtain.

The Details of Cost Outlined

The Corrigan Lumber & Mill Co., Sault Ste. Marie, Ont,—We —
have been operating a one-ton truck of a very well known make for
the last two years. Our 1919 experience is listed below, and covers
almost exactly two hundred dollars:

Deliveries of truck averaged twenty-three per day and these
totalled to forty-six hundred or an average cost of .17.7 cents per
order delivered. Our average wage to truck driver was $4.50 per
day or an average charge of 19.6 cts. per order delivered—a total of
.37.3 cts, per order. This does not include insurance, interest on in-
vestment or other overhead charges.

We have single horse with necessary equipment, and although
each trip is usually shorter than with a truck, we find that the cost
per order delivered is 72.66, ; .

D. Aitchison & Co., Hamilton, Ont.—We are using at present a
one-ton International truck, and find that same for the retail lumber
business is equal in service to two or three single delivery wagons,
and can make good time on extra long trips. We have operated this —
truck since the middle of the summer of 1919 and to date have really
had no expenditure on it other than the cost of oil, grease, etc. We
think that the one-ton truck other than the make is the ideal truck
for the retail lumber yard where you have mouldings, frames, sash,
etc., to deliver at odd times. We believe that the upkeep of a larger
truck where work is not always to capacity would be too great and
would not justify itself in the end. We had a one-ton truck in oper-
ation in our Eastern yard where a greater quantity of rough lumber.
is handled, and found that it would not stand up day after day loading ©
to capacity. a

Motor Trucks Are Big Saving.

Batts, Limited, Toronto—We use two motor trucks in our busi-_
ness, one one-ton Ford with attachment and one 3-ton Gramm. We
consider these two trucks take the place of five horse-drawn vehicles.
The cost of upkeep of the same is well under the cost of team haul-
age, although we are forced at all times to keep several teams on the
road to take care of loads going to places where trucks are unable to
travel with safety. We also employ different motor cartage com-
panies’ trucks to take care of our ever increasing business and find
it a saving, as good truck drivers are the biggest source of trouble we
have: to deal with today.

The Ingleby- Taylor Co., Brantford, Ont.—We are using two
trucks for delivery purposes. We put our first truck in operation two
years ago and we were so well pleased with its performance that we
purchased another last year. Our first truck is of 1% tons capacity,
has an Oakland engine of 30 h.p. and a 12-ft. platform, well adapted
for drawing long stuff. Our second truck has a Ford engine and 8-ft..
platform, 1-ton capacity. We have found that the operation of these ~
trucks is considerably less than it would be for delivery by horses,
as they take the place of from four to six horses. We are also able
to give much prompter service. We have found in our business that ,
the lighter trucks are the best proposition, as nine times out of ten
you do not have a capacity load, and finally that the trucks show up
to better advantage on long trips—that is where we frequently have
deliveries to the opposite end of the city.

We find that the maintaining of these cars is quite

to the original price of the car. On the other hand, we consider that
we do as ‘much work with one of these small trucks as we do with

three single deliveries, and not only that but we serve our customers

much quicker and in that way it helps to secure business.

Distinct Saving Over Horse Delivery.

The Irvin. Lumber Co., Limited, Toronto.—We use five motor
trucks, two 3-ton, one 1%-ton, and two 1-ton trucks. ‘We find that
long trips and full loads the trucks are of great advantage as

compared wtih horse delivery. We find the small trucks better than

the large where they have to travel over sandy roads, and it is not

The illustration shows a trailer which D. C. Baird of St. Marys, Ont., uses

’ grade such as from the station at St. Marys. He also uses

Bae cle the trucks for trailing waggons and is able to trail a

often that our customers order more at one time than a small truck
will carry. Repairs and upkeep on trucks are very expensive, but
_ considering the amount of material hauled we do not think team

delivery would be less expensive. However, we have to keep some
_ horses for delivery in localities where it would be impossible to take
a truck, and we use the horses for short trips and mixed loads,
The greatest advantages of trucks are :—

times as much lumber «in a day as he can with a team of horses ex-

cepting, of course, where the trips are short.

4th. During the winter season when business falls off we can
lay up what trucks we do not need, and when they are not in use

they do not have to be looked after and the only expense that can be
charged against them when not in use is interest on the investment.

This is a distinct Saving as°compared with horses which have to be
attended and fed whether at work or not.

. » Say Horses Are Best For Them
The Guelph Lumber Co., Guelph, Ont—We do not use any motor

trucks in our business here because after carefully going into the mat-

ter we have come to the conclusion that we can make our deliveries
better with horses and wagons. We are figuring this, of course, from

_ our own requirements and the requirements of our customers in and

around Guelph.

to make the change, in the peculiar circumstances under which we

may add that we do all our trucking by piece work with teams, which
appears in our case to work out satisfactorily all around.

Could Not Do Without Motor Trucks. SP gs rh

James T. Gilchrist Lumber Co., Toronto.—We have been using
a 1-ton truck for several months and the service we are able to give
our customers is such that we have bought another. We find that the
cost of upkeep is about the same as for a single horse and wagon, but -
the deliveries are two if not three times as numerous. There is no
trouble about holiday or Sunday feeding nor any such difficulty
we experience in disposing of the stable refuse. We certainly ¢ cou ald
not do without motor trucks now and give the service (which is
everything nowadays) that we are able to do, without the addition
of three or four Single horse wagons and this would mean a man to —
each—a large increase to our wage bill. There is only a little draw-
hack to the trucks for our business and we refer to the length of the
chassis. A considerable portion of our deliveries call for long ths,
14 and 16 ft. and sometimes longer. These lengths mean that a 4 |
half of the load is overhanging the back axle whic is a bad feature, = ut 2 |
apparently you cannot av oid it with the light truck. ;

W. A. Nichols, Carleton Place, Ont—We do net use a motor
truck. The snow is too deep down here in winter to run a truck,
and as we require horses for bush work in winter and around ‘our.
plant here, we go ahead and work them in the summer. Tf we could
use trucks the year round we would have them, as we could , get ee

How the Pearce Company, Marmora, Carry on Their Busy Operations in the Bush
—Methods Employed in Taking Out Hardwood in Hastings County |

The. operations carried on by the Pearce Co., Ltd., Marmora,
Ont., are wholly the production of lumber at their saw-mill, situ-
ated in Marmora. None of the limits held in Hastings County by
the company was secured directly from the Government. This area
in Lake Township was originally held by three companies, viz’ The
Gilmour Lumber Co,, The Rathbun Lumber Co. and the Marmora
Cooperage Co. The Gilmour and Rathbun Companies logged through
the area, culling out the white pine only, as is indicated by the pre-
This was about forty years ago. The Pearce Co. took
over the limits from these companies and are now taking out hem-
lock, pine and hardwoods. The hemlock being the most valuable
commercial species; the pine mostly large, isolated trees, which were
apparently considered inaccessible at the first cutting.

In Lake Township there are approximately 23,000 acres of burn-
ed over land, mostly in the north-west corner, north of Tangamong
Lake. This area ‘is now stocked with poplar and birch, from 15-30
years, and an occasional pine sapling or pole, not in sufficient num-
bers to re-seed the area by any means, although in some few places
it occurs in groves. >

Judging from an area in the southern part of the township the
fires were severe enough to destroy the soil and now it is estimated
area is bare rock.

Originally the lumber companies had to provide two rangers
during the fire season, but at the present time this is arranged by
the Government and the company pays for protection at the rate of
$6.40 per sq. mile per annum (one cent per acre per annum), In
addition they pay $5.00 per sq. mile per annum ground rent.

Contracts are made in a small way with farmers in the neigh-
borhood. At the time the operation was visited two gangs were
three men trews felling and bucking a certain amount, and
The contracts only call for felling bucking
and skidding, the contractor providing men, equipment and provi-
sions. |The company cuts all trails, haul roads, etc., and drives the

Pine and hemlock logs in skidways of Pearce Co., Marmora, Ont.

There are, however, some cedar logs and some black ash. The minor
species are black spruce, elm and an occasional white pine.

Conditions of the Timber.

— The logs, on the whole, are fairly sound. The basswood and.

hemlock show butt rot in many cases. Basswood, however, is utilized

“here with an outside ring of wood 4 in. wide. In the case of the

hemlock the rot necessitates sawing off from 3 ft. to 6 ft. from the

butt of the tree.

By T. J. F. Sharpe and J. L. Alexander

As regards straightness, from looking over the skidways the logs
run mostly to twelves. Usually they run three to a tree, but in rare
cases five have ben obtained. The logs, on the average, run as fol-
lows: Pine, 88 F. B. M., basswood, 67; ash, 60; hemlock, 70; cedar,
32; elm, 162; spruce, 46.

The drainage of the whole of Lake Township is divided between
Beaver Creek and Deer River, both of which flow into the Crow
Rver, which, in turn, flows through Marmora. The major portion
of the township is low and rolling, with no bad mountainous obstruc-
tions and easy approaches the lakes.

The camp is located on an old cadge road built 22 years ago.
This, and the fact that all parts of the operations are within two
miles of this point, were the important factors in the selection of the
site. The camp is six miles from the main road from Marmora to
Vansickle. About 150 feet from the buildings there is a small stream
from which water is carried in pails for drinking, cooking and wash-

Decking with chains in the Pearce Co’s. operations in Hastings County

ing purposes, and at which the horses are w atered. From this cam)
1200 acres are being logged, and this, according to the foreman, 1s
the average area logged from one set up.

The camp occupies one-half acre and comprises the following
buildings: (1) bunk house, (2) cook house; (3) meat house; (4)
stables, (5) office and van, (6) men’s accommodation.

The camp is built to accommodate 50 men and the stable from
12 to 15 teams. The material used in construction is logs, mostly,
with lumber floors and roofs. Tar paper is used on the roof and gable
ends, and the walls are chinked with mud.

A warping crib or craft is used, 24 ft. x 24 ft.,. constructed of
two tiers of cedar poles at right angles to each other, with. a cap-
stan in the centre. One hundred yards of 2 in. rope or warping line
and tow. are required. An anchor is attached to the raft. The crew
consists of 2 horses and 12 men (this number varies). The crib is
used when towing the logs through the lakes and there is, therefore,
one in every lake.

The tote road leading to the camp is six miles in length, Nes
from the Vansickle-Marmora Road. The principle in laying is to
follow the line of least resistance and it is extremely snake-like
in appearance. There are several fairly steep grades and the limit of
a team is about 1,200 lbs. The Pearce Co. have not made any im-
provements on the road. In reality it is an old Government road
put in some 22 years ago.

The logging roads follow the ravines to the water. The slopes
are very slight. Only one case was noted, where the grade is sufh-
cient to demand sanding when hauling commences. These roads
are 16 ft. wide and everything is cleared off down to the ground, ie.,
stumps cut off and mounds levelled down, For this operation there
are about 6 miles-of main haul road and as much more in spurs, Le.
12 miles in all. There have been fifteen men (this number varied

48 ; -CANADA LUMBERMAN AND “WOODWORK

working on the roads from the middle of October to the middle of
December, but no horses).

The problem of laying out the roads is quite simple. As stated,

the area had previously been logged over for white pine, and as the

area has not been burned since there still remain traces of the old
haul roads. It might be added that these old road beds do not de-
crease the cost of construction now.

How Hardwoods are Logged
In the connection with the logging of hardwoods the procedure

| is as follows:

The trees are felled in May and June. The bark is peeled from
the S. W. surface of the tree, but bucking into logs is not done at
this time.

The idea is that, by felling in the spring, just as the leaves

Stop log dam erected by the Pearce Co., Marmora, Ont.

come out and. leaving the tree as it falls, the. leaves help to draw
» the water from the trunk. The trees are left like this until fall, when

they are bucked and _ skidded.

The principle of the whole thing is

_ to decrease the weight of the log to facilitate floating, or, in other

words, to make it possible to float these hardwoods.

Animal skidding with horses is the only method used on this
A crew consists of five men, viz.: Teamster, swamper,

By using two blocks, one as just mentioned and the
the
skidding team can drag the logs up to the skidway, hitch on to the
decking line and place ‘the log.

" There is no set number “of logs to a skidway. The logs remain
on the skids until hauled to the landing. The length of time varies:
in this case the landing is on a lake, and the climate will be the
influencing factor as to the length of time before hauling. Last year
logs were felled and skidded up to Christmas, and hauling was

commenced on the first of January.

The skidways are of two types: Flat skidways and high skid-
ways. The high skidway is only used in handling. Several ‘of these
skidways were built at various “places on the main haul road. This
skidway is 5 ft. high and the idea is to bring the logs from near-by
skidways, unload them on the high skidway ‘and use them to top off
the loads. By using this skidway the spurs from the main haul roads
only are very roughly constructed.

The flat skidwe ays to accommodate the logs in the bush, are built
about 3 ft. high. Some are level, others on angle, The skids are from

and for these small logs or, in many cases, the butt of a tree suff
from butt rot, will be sufficient. These are notched where the skids’
will lie, to keep them in place. About a foot back from the front
and on the top of the skids is another notch into which a pole is fit-
ted. This will keep the front log from rolling off. The material ‘
used in skidway construction is whatever is nearest to hand. Much
of it should make good logs. . a

Floating the Logs Downstream “i

A stream, to be considered drivable, must have a medium current
only. If the current is too strong the ‘logs are damaged and if the
water is not deep enough, there must, in addition, be good locations bie
dams. -

The water through which the Pearce Co. drive their logs he
been driven for the past 40 years and very little work is neces sary
in the way of clearing the streams. Most of the expense is in a
maintenance of dams, and, when necessary, constructing new o

On the area visited the cutting might be classified as ‘clade cut- a
ting.” Owing to the proximity of the mill to the actual bush opera- —
tion, the hardwoods can be driven, consequently everything that is
merchantable is taken. The result of the system is a vast amount —
of debris left in the woods in the form of tops, etc. = ciate 2
At first sight this would appear to present a serious fire ‘menace. “4
However, on closer examination, the whole area is protected on both —
the East and West sides by natural waterways, and again, it is well
protected from the fact that it is surrounded by areas that have. al-
ready been burned over, and, as far as could be noticed, there is
practically nothing on these areas to burn, so we might say that the |
area is safe so far as external influences are concerned, In view | of
the above, brush disposal should not be considered. ? mes ae:

This tract, situated as it is, viz., easily accessible; in close proxi- yy

Unfortunately no authentic data could be secured as to cost of

In nearly every paper that one picks up, the cry is heard for
more houses. It is pointed out in Toronto there are annually four
es aS many marriages as there are new homes, and that during
past year although there was an increase of over 13,000 in popu-
tion, there were only about 1,500 to 1,800 new houses erected.
- This affords an illuminating example of how pressing is the
sity for more dwellings. What is applicable to the larger centres
in a measure, true concerning smaller places. One interest is
se another for more work not going on in this or that district
d thus the building famine continues. The bricklayer blames
% the lumberman and the lumberman passes the censure on to labor and
labor tosses it to the avaricious landlord, and the landlord declares
t that he can see no way of securing a moderate return on his invest-
“ment at present outlay. Thus the popular pastime of “passing the
ae buck” proceeds. This shifting of responsibility, this evasion and
- dodging the issue goes on. Everybody is blaming everybody else.
i Some predict that if there was a fall in prices, there would be more
_activity, and another man declares that the lower prices are, the far-
; ther ¢ away building will be removed, as on a falling market no one will
undertake any construction for fear that prices may go still lower.
_ Then, others seek to place the onus on the railways, claiming that in-
~ creased freight rates have added so much to the cost of ‘materials
that no serious-minded person will think ,of erecting houses for rent
or asa speculation unless absolutely compelled to do so.

: Solving the Mystic Maze Problem

Thus: we have theories and speculations and economic reasons
galore. ‘Itisa sort of mystic maze proposition and no daylight enters
- the inner recesses. Ostensibly it is a case of each interest going it
_ blind or perhaps selfishly, and little that is practical has been accom-
plished. It would see mto be time that all the interests concerned
'_ were brought to a realization of affairs, present and prospective and

got down to a hard rock, commonsense basis.
Be Every part. of Canada is in desperate need of buildings, particu-
ee larly houses, and what is the solution of the matter? It is difficult

“to analyze the complex issue. At least half a dozen theatres, each
costing anywhere from $200,000 up to $1,500,000, have been construct-
ed in Toronto during the past six months, and others are on the way.
ill a few thousand dollars cannot, apparently, be expended for the
ction of dwellings, the urgency of which is more pressing as each
day passes and the approach of winter draws near.

- It is expensive to buy houses and doubly expensive to lease. The

marae 64 Too Few Are Home Owners.

phys brings up the whole question of why more people should not

own their homes, or, rather, do not own their homes. Such an insti-
tt ution has long been spoken of as the basis of social comfort, the

oe foundation of happiness and a centre of peace. Home-owning

7 has been spoken of as a pillar in the national structure, and-yet it is

_ declared by leading authorities on the other side of the border that

less than 60% of Americans own the roof over their heads. F. Roger

af. some startling things, over which the average reader may well pon-
- der Here are a few of them :—

cs _ To a mob, rioting horribly through the streets of a coast city,
\ucous, sweating, strident with threats, the mayor appealed:

4 ely home, men!” he cried, trying to beat back the wave of hu-

nae aanity run amuck ; “maintain law and order for the protection of

ae cshiag homes.” 7

Sees “And the mob laughed.

“We have no homes!” they cried.

Out of every one hundred Americans, sixty are discontented.

ee widely separated and independent authorities have set this

eure as the ratio of unrest in the United States in amazing and sig

ficant statements, simultaneously issued. None had consulted the

nursing grievances vague and half understood or bitterly real, the
forces of disorder, reinforced by the drifting forces of discontent, are
whispering revolution and the overthrow of the Government.
_ Says a most eminent statistician: Sixty per cent. of our popula-_
tion may be classifled as galley slaves rankling under the burden of || |
drudgery borne without apparent reward of progress, resentful; sul- ||
len, almost hopeless.

Says the church: Sixty per cent of all America may be conserva-
tively reckoned as lacking in religion and the qualities that make for
higher citizenship.

To the epaiser anid every man is becoming a thinker in these
figures:

What is the matter with the ne per cent. ?

Is there anything pertinent for the thinkers of America in the fact
that sixty per cent. of the population of this country do not own their
homes; that the ratio of our people who drift from shack to shack,
from cheap cottage to dismal flat, without anchorage, without ties in
the community or responsibility of property—is sixty per cent.? i:
think there is.

A Mere Generation of Drifters.

We are no longer a nation of home owners. We are become a ||
generation of drifters, renters, floaters—sixty per cent. of us! Six
out of every ten uprooted from the soil, having no claim upon the
land, rattle about loosely, a prey to every w andering wind. And then |}
we ask: What is the matter with the country? The old pilgrims ||
were wiser than that. After those bitter winters in Plymouth colony,
when the bleak Massachusetts hills were sown with frozen graves,
when mutiny and discontent soured the hopeful hearts of the people,
the old historian records that “in 1624 each family received a small

family owned its own home!

What of the women? The home-making instinct is probably the
most persistent attribute of woman. Long ‘after the mating passion |
has burned itself out and the maternal instinct has died—lingeringly,
usually and with recurring pangs—the homing instinct stubbornly “en- i
dures. Only a woman who dares not tack a picture upon the wall of y
a rented house, or dig a posey bed in a piece of ground that belongs:
to someone “else, can understand the desolation of the homeless. |
There are women in the forces of disorder. Emma Goldman is a
woman. There are millions of women in the dreary army of dis- |
content.

The Government is depending upon the loyalty of the contents WV
prosperous, thrifty forty per cent.—upon the home owners of America.
The ‘initiative of the successful classes, the contented classes. must.
somehow bridge the chasm which separates them from the army of
the drifting and discouraged. Give the homeless man an opportunity
to acquire a home. No propaganda will be needed to arouse the desire
in the hearts of the sixty per cent. The home instinct dies hard. - It
is as old as the earth, as old as discontent, as old as pain. Discourage-.
ment has drugged it. Despair has beaten it to the ground. The |
poison of harbored grievances has stupefied it; but let hope shine |
upon it for.a little while and except for the occasional caseS where
actual degradation has occurred, you will have a little plant thrusting | |
out eager tentacles—seeking friendly air and rains and the depths”
of the sane and homely earth in which to root.

When the Forests Give Out, What? i
“There is no general expectation that by postponing new build-
ing for a few months, marked savings may be realized through future
declines in prices,” says the Guaranty Trust Co., as quoted by the
New York Tribune. “Even should the long-desired definite recession
in prices develop it is believed that for some time yet building costs
will show at best but slight decline and many think there will be-
further advances in building costs generally.
“The raw materials for “building are available in abundance, suf- |
ficient to support the most ambitious building programme and in the |
lumber industry it is estimated that there is an excess plant capacity.
of 50%. The supply of materials may therefore, in many cases,
promptly be enlarged whenever demand calls for it. Other lines |
of business enterprises are affected ‘by credit stringency, but most of !
them show no such marked decline in activity as does the building in-
dustry. It appears that the transportation tangle is the primary
source of the decline in building operations.”

Superintendent for Forests Department 3

As announced recently in the “Canada Lumberman,” reorganiz-
ation is being planned in the Department of Lands and Forests of
the Ontario Government. The Deputy Minister, Albert Grigg, will
be relieved of some of his heavy duties by the appointment of a
Superintendent of Woods and Forests.

FE. J. Zavitz, who is at ©
present head of the Forestry Branch, will be appointed to the a

position at a salary of $4,500. He will bring the Forestry Branch un-
der the new head and will be given an assistant, who has not yet

country had been taken and elaborate estimates of over 2,500 square
miles of the country made. The expedition wound that behind
the 20 miles of coast line there lay one of the most generously forested
regions in Canada. In consequence of this exploration, Major Owen
said that a new company has been organized, the Southern Labrador
Pulp and Paper Company, in which United States capital has been
interested with the idea of installing a pulp mill, with four sawmill
units of 50,000° feet per day capacity, which will begin operations in

erection in 1920. The total costs of these houses and the land et lich
they were built is approximately $8,800,000. The persons who have

Complaints Against Penalty Storage e
A recent despatch from Washington says that the American }
tional Lumber Association has filed with the Interstate Commerc
Commission a gomplaint against the $10 penalty storage charge on
lumber held for reconsignment beyond the 48 hour free period. —_
The complaint names John Barton Payne, director general of
railroads, as agent, and the railroads generally, as respondents, It
is the usual form of complaints filed before the commission ckin
the reasonableness or lawfulness of rates, rules or practices of carriers.
The complaint asserts that the $10 penalty storage charge is un-
just and unreasonable and in violation of Section 1 of the Act
ulate Commerce and Section 10 of the Federal Control Act. __ =
The charge, which is in addition to the regular demurrage rates,
is declared to be an unjust discrimination against lumber and forest
products taking lumber rates. The fact that hay, grain, cotton, fruits,
vegetables, coal, pig lead, spelter etc., “are reconsigned in transi
that the service rendered in connection with the holding of
shipments for reconsignment is identical with the service rendere
connection with the holding of lumber for reconsignment,” is str
This discrimination results “in the assessment and collection’
greater compensation from reconsignors of lumber and other fore
products moving at lumber rates than from reconsignors of other
modities for a like and contemporaneous service under substanti:

Es Son: Ottawa, which has ee a little more es its bit in as
ae on the map.

Started in a humble way back in 1874 by the late Robert Thack-
who was the stepfather of the late James Davidson, this well
wn Ottawa firm has had a history of steady advance and enter-
SE.

“An interesting feature of the history of this firm is that, though
it has had steady enlargements calling for increased demands for
capital, and though it has passed through four phases of family own-
ership, it has always been, and is today, a privately owned business.
has never been a joint stock company, and not a person outside of
the members of the family have had a dollar in the concern. In 1918,
when Mr. Keith Davidson became of age and the estate of the late
es Davidson turned the business over to the two sons, Grant ana
|, the brothers elected to continue the business as it had been.
Another interesting feature is that the business under the
nership of the sons is not only continuing its prosperity, but has
n steadily increasing it.

Quick Recavery Was Made

in we third interesting feature about the Davidson story is that the
m in its time has had three disastrous fires, which almost put it out
business; twice the Ottawa mill was burned, and once the mill up
he Coulonge was destroyed. But such has been the spirit that made
igger way than before. After each fire the mill became larger and
ore modern and the output greater.

It was back in 1874 that Robert Thackray opened a little saw-
1 and sash and door factory. That mill, old-timers will remem-
ber, was located at the upper end of Bell Street, south of the Grand
Ay unk tracks. It was there the late James Davidson, father of Grant
‘Keith, the present owners of the business, got his early hard
cks and learned the business in a practical way. It wasn’t much
of a business—a few men, a couple of saws and some belting, etc.;

but it had the germs of success.

And so it came about that five years later, in 1879, Mr. Thackray

site o1 Sparks Street, between Bank and Kent, just west of the Do-
minion Theatre, which building, by the way, James Davidson later
built and owned for a number of years, together with the Cecil
Hotel.

Whether Mr. Thackray came to Sparks street because he had a
prophetic eye as to property values, the fact is that the land which
Mr. Thackray bought in 1879 for a few hundreds of dollars was sold
by the estate in 1913 for $125,000.

Anyway, on this site Mr. Thackray erected a fine brick mill. At
that time the mill property ran from Parker’s, Dye Works, on the
west, almost to Bank street, and extended through from Sparks street+
to Queen street, and included the side of the present Journal build-
ing.

The new mill was a comparatively small affair,
being mostly yards. A few years later it was destroyed by fire.
larger and. better m/l quickly took its place,

In 1893 Mr. Thackray retired and the business was taken over by
Mr. Wm. Thackray and Mr. James Davidson, the half brothers, un-
der the firm -name of Davidson and Thackray. Under this new firm
the business went on progressing until 1903 when one night the
whole of the fine mill went up in flames.

The First Big Effort Made

The following year Davidson and Thackray rebuilt in a still
larger way onthe present site on Wellington street, at the corner of
Rochester, purchasing land which extended from Wellington street,
along Rochester, and a good part of the way over Preston street.
This site, it might be interesting to note in these dry times, was or-
iginally the site of the old Rochester Brewery, which older Ottawa
people will remember was one of the big Ottawa enterprises of the
early seventies. The owner, the late John Rochester, was a former
mayor and well known philanthropist. It is also worthy of note in
this connection that the new owner of the site subsequently became
a controller and a very prominent figure in Ottawa public life.

In 1905 the Davidson business entered a new phase. Mr. Wil-
liam Thackray retired and Mr. James Davidson took the business
onto his own shoulders under the name of James Dav-dson. From
1905 to 1911 the business continued in this way growing) rapidly and
branching out into new enterprises till Mr. Davidson’s untimely
death in 1911.

Then, from 1911 to 1918, the estate managed the business,’ as
Keith, the youngest son, was only 14 years of age at the time of his
father’s death.

been for years before both in the office and the factory and had made
himself practically acquainted with the operations on the limits.

And it is no small business which has fallen to the sons. As
an indication of the extent of the business, ft may be said that in the
sash and door branch the complete output of the factory has been
for several years contracted for a full year ahead.

The present factory is one of the most complete of its kind to
be found everywhere. It is equipped with the most up-to-date labor-
saving machinery, and is so laid out that the office commands a view
of the whole factory, which runs at angles parallel with Wellington
and Rochester streets. One wing of the factory manufacturers the
sashes and doors, boxes and shooks, etc., while the other looks after
the making of refrigerators, portable houses and other lines which
the company handles, including movable houses.

Movable Houses to the Front

The refrigerator “The North Star,” which the firm makes, is,
by the way the idea of an Ottawa man, a Mr. Ouelette, and it is
made under his patent. These refrigerators, like the doors, go far
and wide from Ottawa and help to keep the capital’s spot on the map
freshly inked. The portable house branch of the business has also
The firm makes houses from the size of little
one-room shacks, suitable for fishing expeditions, up to 5 and 6 room
buildings of the summer cottage variety, complete with partitions,
stovepipe holes, verandahs and all the other paraphernalia, and
which can be fastened securely together at a few hours’ notice, These
movable houses are made in bungalow and other designs. A real
nice portable bungalow can be bought as low as a thousand dollars,
while fishing shacks and garages can be had for very modest sums.
The movable house idea has taken wonderfully. The firm ships these
houses as far as British Columbia.

The first important extension of the Davidson enterprises came
in the year 1876. Previous to this year the firm had bought all the
lumber it manufactured. In 1876 Mr. Thackray decided to be self-
sustaining. He purchased a small pine limit on the Quyon River,
16 miles back of Quyon. This limit held about 30 square miles of
pine. It was operated till about 1900, when it got played out and was
put in the discard.

Then, in 1909, Davidson and Thackray further branched out
by purchasing three adjoin ng limits back of the v.llage of Couionge.
Included in this purchase was part of the old Hurdman limit which
included a lot of fine hardwood, which the firm needed in its refriger-
ator and other developing business. The purchase also gave them
over 107 square miles of fine white pine and spruce.

The purchase included one of the Booth limits and a nice limit
bought from the Promleys of Pembroke. The Bromley
the first purchased, in 1898; the Hurdman, in 1899, was the second,
and the Booth, in 1900, the last.

Shortly after this the firm built a saw il at the mouth of the
Coulonge River, at its junction with the Ottawa. At this point was
born the village of Davidson, which today is firmly established as
part of the Ottawa Valley topography,

Five years later fire again hit the Davidson enterprise, wiping
out the Coulonge mill. But the very next morning Mr. James David-
way to Coulonge to lay plans for a new mill, which, like
the second Sparks street enall, was to be bigger and better than its
predecessor. And so it became. The mill at Davidson today has a
capacity of 100,000 feet-per day. Seventy-five per cent. of the lum-
ber sawn is white pine. The ‘mill now employs an average of 180
men, and the village is a thriving little place, with stores and all the
equipment of a live v.llage, including a post office, church, hotel, ete.

School For Firm’s Operatives

But one of the most interesting features of the village, which,
like the town of Pullman, and the creations of other large business
concerns, is Davidson owned, is the school which the firm operates.
It owns the building and pays the teacher and educates the children
free. On Sundays the school building is used for church purposes.

“We do this,” said Mr. Grant Davidson, “not entirely from phil-
anthropy, but’ because it is also good business. Having educational
facilities, keeps the parents contented and permits to employ married
men with families who, generally speaking, are the best employees.”
In his office here, Mr. Davidson has a fine. set of photographs of the
school and children which he took himself, being an enthusiastic
amatetur photographer. He has also, by the way, a complete set of
views of the various operations of the firm throughout the limits, all
personally snapped.

In the limits the Davidson firm keeps two camps going, each

camp employing about 100 men. This year the firm expects to take
out about ten million feet of white pine, spruce, ete.

During the war the Davidson factory did its bit, working night
and day. Tn the five years Canada was at war the Davidson mill
turned out the enormous number of three million shell boxes. In

order to handle this work the firm purchased a large ¢ 4 vantity
special machinery. :
It should be mentioned also as no small feature of the Dav c
son history that the firm is a large house owning concern. Sine
about 1900 the firm has built and now leases over 60 good cl
houses and two large apartment houses. Mr. Davidson’s genius fon
business shows itself in this effort. The building of the houses pi
the mill busy and at the same time helped a local brick company
which he had an interest. As the city grew these properties enhan
greatly in value till today the buildings and land are worth o ye
double their original cost. . F -

Mr. Grant Davidson is the senior partner in the firm; is a bright,

Mr. Keith, his younger brother, is also showing marked bu
ness ability. During the war he did his bit, having gone overseas
with the Royal Air Force and having served in France. It is a matter
of interest that Mr. Davidson received his flying training from he
late Vernon Castle, the well known dancer who achieved a reputation n
as a flying man which was almost as great as his ep aanen. as a
dancer.

bermen on the Pacific Coast, who
has had ‘an interesting career
which stands out uniquely im
some respects.

He has resided about eighteen
years in the West and says that
he has a much better opinion to-
day of Vancouver, British Colum-
bia and Canada than he ever had.

Mr. Battle’s people were orig-
inally French, who went to Eng-
land for refuge and lived in the
Old Country for two and a half
centuries. The name formerly
Batille was anglicized to Battle.
Later on his branch of the family
moved to America, settling in the
Virginias and Carolinas, Mr.
Battle’s father was a native of
North Carolina and his people
were mostly English. The mother

s a native of Alabama and her people were Scotch-Irish. Mr.
attle is a product of Louisiana and was born in a turbulent time

n the war was raging between the North and the South. His
her, Colonel Battle, who was one of the largest planters and
nufacturers in the South, was completely ruined by the war; his
home, factories and other properties were burned and the country
was devastated by the Yankees, or, as some would term it, Northern
' troops. Under carpet-bag and negro rule, the family property was
“practically confiscated and Mr. Battle, Sr., then a man in his fifties,
“was compelled to flee for his life to the then unknown country ol
‘Texas and labor for an existence and support his family under very
trying conditions.

The subject of this sketch was compelled to go to work at twelve
years of age owing to his father’s long illness and death. At nineteen
years he went into business for himself. This business grew until
later on he moved from McKinney, Texas, to Sherman, Texas, buy-
ing an interest in a large wholesale concern. He was successful,
put the territory was limited and he sold out and organized a com-

pany in Fort Worth, Texas, a large railroad centre, and ran a suc-
” cessful business for a number of years when his health failed and
he had to move to the Pacific Coast. He lived in Los Angeles for a
‘short period and visited every town from San Diego to Vancouver,
and was not satisfied until he saw Vancouver.
Mr. Battle started in the timber business, buying and selling,
and then organized the Vancouver Lumber Co. and conducted it
successfully for a year. He then sold it to some southern friends in
eFexag.
_ They ran-the old mill for a few years and then built a much
er one, and Mr. Battle purchased for them over one billion feet
of standing timber, which, needless to say, has made them a snug
“amount of money. In selling his mill he retained the timber and
as been buying, selling and handling timber on a commission basis
“ever since. He bought a small mill in Howe Sound but sold it after
having run same for something over a year. Mr. Battle has been in-

terested in logging camps, not to the extent of personally operating,
but for the two-fold purpose of helping the other fellow and gaining

_ information regarding the cost of logging, etc.

About two years ago they organized a subsidiary company
known as the Beaver Cove Lumber & Pulp Company and have al-
ready spent about two million dollars laying the foundations, build-
ing a sawmill, shingle mill, and the first forty.ton unit of a pulo mill.
Mr. Battle is a shareholder and one of the directors in the Beaver
Cove Lumber & Pulp Company.

Mr. Battle cwned ard carried during the war pericd about. 2 -
000.000 feet of standing timber. He refrained from engaging in busi-
ness locally for the reason that he wanted to conserve his time and
energy for the purvose of bringing in cavital to develop the vast nat-
ural resources of British Columbia. His heart is in this work and
he is in the hope of being even more successful in the future than in
the rast.

Mr. Battle’s- hobbies are golf and motoring. He recently took
part in one of the largest and best golf tournaments ever held in the
North American continent, from the standpoint of numbers, talent
and management. This tribute was paid to the tournament by the
entire Pacific Coast press. Mr. Battle has also been élected presi-
dent for next year of the Pacific North West Golf Association, which
includes all the golf clubs in a part of California and all Oregon, Wash-
ington, Idaho, Montana andBritish Columbia. A prominent member
of the Masonic Order, and a Mystic Shriner, he also belongs to the
Vancouver Club. the Tennis Club and other organizations as well as
the Vancouver Golf and Country Club and the Shaughnessy Heights
Golf Club. Mr. Battle was born on September Ist, 1863. He does a
little fishing occasionally—that is, when he can spare the time from
his active business and the pursuit of golf.

New Fire Alarm Publications

The Northern. Electric Company has just issued two new fire
alarm bulletins. One of these describes fire alarm systems for muni-
cipalities; the other fire alarm systems for industrial plants, schools,
hospitals, hotels and public buildings. The intricate and important
problems connected with fire protection are treated in detail with
descriptions and illustrations of the various systems and equipment
used. The books also contain some very vital statistics on fire losses
and an outline of the history of fire alarm development. They are
excellently printed on first-class stock and cover designs are in appro-
priate scarlet; appearance and contents combining to make a most
impressive exposition of an impressive subject. Sample copies of
both publications were.distributed to the Fire Chiefs at the Interna-
tional’ Fire Chiefs’ Convention recently held at Toronto, and met
with very favorable comment.

Paper Company Buys Canadian Limit

The Matane Lumber and Development Company, owned by
©’Brien,and Doheny, has sold all its assets, real and personal, to the
Hammermill Paper Company of Erie, Pennsylvania.

The deal, which involves a price of several millions of dollars,
was completed last week in Montreal.

The timber lands acquired with the mill site, river improvements,
etc., lie on the rivers Matane and Cap Chat, on the south shore of the
St. Lawrence, comprising an area of 133,000 acres.

Dollar Interests Have Three MilJs

The Canadian Robert Dollar Company’s lumber mills on the
Pacific Coast are now cutting 450,000 feet of lumber daily. They have
three plants, one at Bandon, Oregon; one at Dollarton, Vancouver,
and one at Portland, Oregon. The latter has been recently purchased.
The deal was put through six months ago and the Dollar interest
placed the mill in operation six weeks ago. The property was pur-
chased from L. W. David of Portland, and was known as the Monarch
Lumber Mills. It is understood the price was in excess of a million
dollars.

a Canada’s natural resources have been referred to so often and
so emphatically as “vast inexhaustible” that the phrase has come to
__ be accepted as a literal description of the country’s wealth in land
_ and water, says J. F. MacKay, of Toronto.
‘The very prodigality of Canada’s possessions, however, has led to
such wanton waste, notably in forest and fisheries, that these sources
eet ae once boundless wealth are now seriously threatened with ex-
: _ haustion.

This is a truth hard to accept in view of the glowing statistics
golden prophecies on which the present generation has been
ured. The public in its mental attitude towards national wealth is
eo ein t unlike the lady who received notice that her bank deposit was
‘exhausted. VA

“That cannot be,” she exclaimed, presenting her cheque-book ;
“see, I have lots of checks left yet!”
‘Twelve years ago when the Commission of Conservation was
established as a permanent government department it was received
__with opposition in some quarters and with indifference in most. The
- Commission was to serve as a public intelligence bureau with respect
_ to the natural resources of Canada. Although it.has no administrative

sources, ;
Broadly speaking, the Commission was to investigate the man-
ner in which Canada’s great possessions were exploited; to ascertain
if wasteful methods are being employed; to enquire into natural
causes of loss, such as forest fires; to discover by what means unde-
veloped resources, such as coal and other minerals, could be turned
to good national account. By the natural sequence of ideas, to that
function was very soon added the duty of conserving the nation’s
greatest asset, its man power.
It was not long before the investigations of the Commission re-
vealed that in many directions Canada was living on its vast but by
no means inexhaustible capital, and with all the native faith of the
lady in her bank. unsigned checks. It was demonstrated that crude
and wasteful methods were in vogue; that many of those engaged in
exploiting the abundant resources of the country were totally lacking
in the scientific education that was necessary in order to make the
__ best use of that which was placed in their hands. More or less cap-
able amateurs were doing work that should have been in the charge of

ganda to teach the elementary truth that technical problems should be
in the hands of technically trained experts.

A Non-partisan Commission.

Through its committees the Commission of Conservation, of
which Sir Clifford Sifton is chairman, has a personnel that is repre-
sentative of the entire Dominion. Its committees on fisheries, game,
fur-bearing animals, forests, lands, minerals, waters and water powers,
and public health, cover every conceivable phase of the public interest
and welfare. The Commission is strictly non-partisan, and party
_ politics are unknown at its annual conventions.
In view of the fact that not so very long ago for every tree
cut down in Canada, three were destroyed by fire, the work of the
Commission in lessening the menace of forest fires alone would justify
its appointment. In this respect the Commission has achieved a work
which it is almost impossible to believe has been accomplished in little
_ more than six years.
_-——sCThe need for scientific education has been insisted upon in season
and out. Particularly of the fishing industry has this been true. The
unpleasant fact that Canadian herrings were worth considerably less
than half the value of the Scotch variety led to an enquiry that re-
< ealed the Canadian fisherman as inexpert. The remedy was obvious
and has been applied with gratifying success. The threatened extinc-
tion of the salmon of the Fraser River district has engaged the atten-
tion of the, Commission, and suggestions have been made which, if
the government at Washington concurs, will establish the salmon in-
dustry in perpetuity. Some of the Western lakes which were consid-
ered depleted a few years ago have been restocked from government

but it is safe to say that once this great reserve of energy is utilized
the motive power and heating problems will be solved for all time. || |
Meantime the Commission of Conservation, by constantly referring ||
to the subject in pamphlets and reports of the most thoroughly prac-
tical nature, is rendering a very great and valuable service.

ago Goldsmith spoke of a land where “wealth accumulates and man

other loss is so hard to make good. A wealthy land may he effete but |
no country with a virile manhood can be poor. How its ciltizens live,
and where they live, is as vital to a country as where its natural re-
sources are located and how they can be utilized. There are such
things as preventable death and preventable disease. ae

The work of the Commission of Conservation in town planning

and land development has been warmly supported in every province,
and its advice and help have been uniformly welcomed and to a large | |
extent utilized. This is all the more gratifying because the commis- |
sion has no executive power and acts in an advisory’ capacity only. |
Because it stands consistently for careful and scientific utilization of | .

whom I have been associated throughout. Senator W. C. Edwards, |
Dr. J. W. Robertson, Dr. Howard Murray, Mr. W. B. Snowball, New it

has never flagged. If the work of the commission is subject to any |

- When the Forests Give Out, What? AE

eee |i
“One of the most interesting things to come to my knowledge |.
is the seeming lack of interest on the part of the people of the United |
States to save our forests,” said Charles Lathrop Pack, president of |
the American Forestry Association. “Our new growth of timber is |
not more than one-third of the amount being used or destroyed every |
year. There is an end to all things,” continued Mr. Pack, “and the
timbermen, lumbermen and wood-using industries must get together
with the foresters on a national forest policy of some kind. We
all know about locking the stable door after the horse is stolen, and |
we can all stand around and wonder what to do when the well runs
dry, but what are we going to do when the forests give out? Place
your finger on something into which the use of wood in the making |
does not enter. Rather hard for you to do it, I will say. The news- |)
paper owner knows about the mounting cost of print paver and the |
cost of the barrel in which you find your flour has gone away uv. You | |
cannot eat the paper or the barrel, but they figure big in the high |
cost of living you hear so much about. We must have a natural |
forest policy in this country, and that soon.” i

Proper Protection of Farm Machinery
{se The fall rains will soon be here and it is time that the farmer
~ had all his equipment under shelter. The barnyard, the open field,
or even the shade of a tree are not places for storing the binder, the
- mower, the cultivator, the disc harrow or the sulky plough. The
total expenditure of this equipment represents much money and the
damage done by the elements during the fall and winter season 1s
incalculable. Rust and decay get in their work, nuts become loosened,
gears get out of play, and the whole wood and steel frame of each
- machine probably suffers more damage through being left out in
several weeks of rain and snow, hail and sleet than it would sustain
_ through the operation of two or three years.

. The ordinary farmer will take mighty good care to see that his
- automobile is properly housed, that his tractor is under cover, that
his stock is well stabled; but when it comes to expending a few hun-
dred dollars for the erection of a first-class implement or storage
_ shed, he calls a halt. Anything will do for the farm machinery. The
work it is called upon to do is of a strong, hard nature and, therefore,
the equipment itself should be able to withstand any attacks made
upon it by the elements.
i It is well known that valuable machines soon rust when left
outside, and it has been declared time and time again that imple-
ments will last twice as long if protected with a suitable shed. The
accompanying cartoon shows what would possibly be said by the
__ different pieces of machinery if steel, iron and wood could talk.

So much has been said upon the subject of farmers having suit-
_ able accommodation for their farm implements that little new infor-
mation can be presented. We learn more and retain more through
the sense of sight than by any other faculty, and that is the reason
the cartoon arouses so much interest and keen appreciation today.
The picture on this page tells very forcibly why a retail lumber dealer
should get in touch with their rural customers and more especially
those who have not suitable implement sheds, and urge upon these
_ residents to spend a few dollars in such structures in the interest of
_ economy, thrift and self-protection.

Major Owen, in speaking of the Labrador timber area involved
in this project, said that the old superstition of barren lands had
been dissipated by the aerial expedition, which he accompanied. Once
beyond the rocky belt of the shore line, the area is all virgin timber,
without a barren spot. It is estimated that there is sufficient — ‘forest
to keep the proposed pulp mill going in perpetuity. Ninety per cent.
of the timber is spruce, which, owing to natural conditions, is harder
and firmer than the spruce of more southerly latitudes, and yields —
more pulp to the ‘ton. He says that every conceivable test has been
applied to determine the quality of the timber, as well as its quality, —
and that American anaylists have pronounced the Labrador: sprce
equal to producing the finest pulp in the world. ee he
Another point elucidated by the aerial expedition was as to the |
adaptability of the soil of Labrador to agricultural pursuits, the fact _
being more generally promulgated that the soil and climate of these
comparatively unknown regions are capable of producing vegetables oa
in variety and of yielding a very fruitful return for labor expended age
cultivation. The Alexis, St. Mary’s and Gilbert rivers, Major Owen
says, are, navigable for steamers for thirty-five miles from the coast }

Asa market for British manufactures Ontario presents an attrac-
¥ Rice field, more especially in the lines in which United Kingdom manu-
-facturers have excelled for so long. The development of Canadian
iE: anufacturing, of which such a large proportion is carried on in On-
tario, leads one to the conclusion that the greater part of British trade
n ‘this market will in future years be confined to the principal groups
of manufactures which constituted the business .here of United
p Kingdom firms before the war.
It is still a matter for the consideration of certain United King-
Pern firms as to whether their agency arrangements for Ontario, and
_ Canada generally, should be treated as part of their United States
agency arrangements.
in the United States has now established a branch in Ontario. The
~ tendency of United States firms with trade connections in Canada is
< to establish separate units in Canada, either branch works, offices, or
_ agents, to deal with their Canadian trade.
There is room for much. more advertising by the majority of
ted Kingdom firms doing business in Canada. The local agent
_ among others should be consulted as to the best methods of expend-
ping | the advertising appropriation.
_ The past year was notable for the ‘number of United States
_ companies making inquiries in this area with regard to the proposed
establishment of branch works.
The Industrial Commission of an Ontario city, in close prox-
ty to the United States, was in correspondence as to this matter
. vember, 1919, with over a hundred United States firms. In
4 _ many cases a decision was made to erect such Paes, and construc-
tion was commenced.
Ba are character of these enterprises varies sides small assembling
its to large factories employing several thousand hands. This
: has been taken for the following reasons among others :—
(a) To handle the Canadian market at close range.

) To grow, as a Canadian industry, with the expanding mar-
d increasing purchasing power.

“e).. To enjoy, as a Canadian industry, the benefits of any special
ide arrangements made for the units of the British Empire.

Seas To handle the export orders, received by the parent com-
int the United States, for shipment to the United Kingdom and
ets 3 in the Empire. |

The inquiries of United Kingdom manufacturers as to the es-
nt of branch works in Ontario were more numerous in 1919
. ever before. Works were established for the production of elas-
tic hosiery and abdominal belts, felts nd paper-making machines, and
< labels.

Alterations and additions were suinicbedd on large branch works

rong Desire fC. Born to T rill with Empire

: Vhat British Trade Commissioner Has Accomplished in Industrial and Commercial
Lines—Great Assistance to Canadian Manufacturers

branch works of United Kingdom firms may be erected in 1920, the
number of such plants will probably never equal that of United
States firms with branches here.

There is a strong desire in Ontario and Canada generally to trade
with the United Kingdom and other parts of the British Empire
whenever Canadian industries cannot supply local wants. This
was given practical shape in the requests to this office of Canadian
manufacturers and traders for information as to sources
British flag of raw materials and quotations on manufactured articles.
United Kingdom firms have also made inquiries here with a view to
transferring their buying from foreign countries to Canada. An Eng-
lish firm which erected branch works in Ontario instructed their con-
tractors to buy materials and equipment, as far as possible, in Can-
ada, and, in any event, not outside the British Empire. The enlarge-
ment of such a policy throughout the Empire will undoubtedly BFOvE
a vital factor in building up inter-Imperial trade.

As the work of the British Trade Commissioners in Canada pro-
ceeds, it is seen that the tendency to strengthen the relations within
the British Empire is becoming more pronounced. Inquiries were
for example, with regard to
the possible purchase in Ontario, of intermediates for dye making,
ground mica and sheet mica. In at least one of these cases, part of
the business was diverted from a foreign country to Canada. Cor-
respondence has been carried on with United Kingdom firms desir-
ing that the products required by them should be made by Canadian
firms, and with Canadian firms desiring that the goods purchased in
the United Kingdom should be made in United Kingdom works.
Canadian firms have also expressed a wish to establish branch works
in the United Kingdom, while British firms are considering the es-
tablishment of branches in Ontario. Inquiries have also been re-
ceived wtih’ regard to trade between Canada and India, Australia,
New Zealand, South Africa and the British West Indies.

The British Trade Commissioner at Toronto has been of assist-

ance to Canadian importers and manufacturers in various ways. Lists ~

of United Kingdom manufacturers, importers and exporters have
been furnished locally, introductions to the department in London
handed to business men proceeding overseas, inquiries of Ontario
concerns for quotations of United Kingdom firms forwarded and in-
formation as to the establishment of Canadian branch works in the
United Kingdom. Ontario firms have made use of the office as a
general source of information as to British trade matters. A number
of letters received from His Majesty’s Consular officers in various
parts of the world have been transmitted to local firms making in-
quiries abroad. Acknowledging the receipt of such a letter, a To-
ronto firm wrote: “The information supplied is of considerable as-
sistance to us and it will avoid us incurring expenses in that terri-
tory which would eventually prove unprofitable.”

Milling-in-Transit Privilege Wins Out

Chalk up another sweeping victory for the Southern Hardwood |
Traffic Association as well as for the lumber industry of Memphis and
Louisville, Ky., says a recent despatch from Memphis, Tenn.

This organization is just in receipt of telegraphic information
from Washington that Attorney-Examiner Barclay, of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, has recommended to the latter body that
Memphis and Louisville should be granted transit privileges on lum-
ber and other forest products permitting them to be assorted, dried,
dressed, manufactured and otherwise, handled, and then reshipped,
on the basis of the through rate, from point of origin to destination,
with a small payment for the stop-over. —

It is expected that more than $10,000,000 in new capital will be
invested in mills, yards and woodworking plants at Memphis-.and
Louisville as a result of this victory because it is regarded as prac-
tically certain that the commission will adopt the recommendations
of Mr. Barclay, especially in view of the fact that, subsequent to the
filing of the complaint, the Southern Railway and the Louisville &
Nashville agreed to transit arrangements, the former at Memphis and
the latter at Louisville, Ky.

J. H. Townshend, secretary-manager of the association, is elated
over the news from Washington that told of victory after a hard fight
dating back as far as 1909.

Resignation of an Aggressive Minister

Hon. Dr. E. A. Smith, who
for nearly three years past has
been Minister of lands and Min-
es for the Province of New Bruns-
wick, has resigned his portfolio.
It has been rumored for several
weeks that Dr. Smith was at vari-
ance with his colleagues in the
mztter of the location of a pro-
vincial game reserve and that
he could not see eye to eye with
the other members of the Cabinet
with respect to the amount of
stumpage dues to be collected on
Crown lands.

Hon. Dr. Smith, durinng his
incumbency of office, inaugurated
many reforms in administration,
and also put into effect a progres-
sive forest policy. The timber
relations of New Brunswick are
regarded as among the best in
Canada. A survey of the timber
resources of the province is being
conducted and many other advanced moves have been made in the
line of conservation, fire protection, etc.

Dr. Smith is a native of Shediac, N. B., and was born in 1864.
He graduated at Pennsylvania Dental College and has been a
lumber and general merchant for some years. He:was Mayor of
Shediac in 1906-7 and first entered provincial public life in 1916 when
he won a by-election against the .Minister of Public Works. The
following year he was again victorious in the general contest and in
March, 1918, at the time the Foster ministry was formed, he was
made Minister of Lands and Mines, which post he ably and success-
fully filled.

make the right product; that is manufacturing.
cg-operate with you; that is organization.
desire your product; that is selling.

Many years ago, while at Biskra, Africa, I saw one Arab selling
dates to another. The man who sold the dates advertised them by
the five senses—hearing, seeing, feeling, smelling and tasting.

In this way he taught his customer to desire the product he was
selling.

This experience with the two Arabs and the pile of dates on the
desert showed me the importance of using the most effective method
of teaching people.

We have to teach our employees, our agents and our customers.
It is not possible for us to use all the methods used by the Arab
merchant. In this business the use of the senses of taste, smell and
touch is of no value in teaching.

It is very important to know the best way to teach. There is a
great advantage in teaching by the eye. When you talk to a man,
what you say usually goes in one ear and out the other. This is be-
cause it is hard to retain what you hear.

A man remembers what he sees. The nerve from the eye is 22
times as strong as the nerve from the ear to the brain. The eye
sends its message to the brain 22 times as fast as does the ear. About
87 per cent. of our knowledge is received through our eyes.

To succeed in business it is necessary to make other men see
things as you see them. This means you must see and believe them
before you can tell another. I have been trying all my life to see for
myself and then to get other people to see with me.

One of the many advantages of teaching through the eye is the
exactness of the knowledge gained by the students. One of the first
articles we purchased when the business was started was a black-
board. The men were often called together and given talks which

-were illustrated with diagrams and sketches.

One of the most effective plans used then was to draw a pair
of scales and on one side show the cause and on the other side the
effect of some action. It never failed to impress an audience. They
quickly saw the point I was trying to make.

From this developed a system of cartoons or chalk talks. Paper
pads were substituted for the blackboards. The drawings were
homely, but they expressed the idea and made the contrast. The
funny figures put the people in a good humor.

’ We also employed an artist to go around the shop with me and

At the fourth annual meeting of the National Retail Lumber Deal-
ers’ Association, which was held in St. Louis, Mo., there was a large
__ and representative attendance and the various sessions were most pro-
fitable and interesting. The following officers were elected:
___President—John FE. Lloyd, Philadelphia, Pa.

_ First vice president—Harry G. Foote, Minneapolis, Minn.
Second vice president—W. S. Dickson, Kansas City, Mo.

_. Third vice president—A. H. Kemper, Toledo, Ohio.
Treasurer—John Claney, Chicago (re-elected).
Secretary—Charles E. Bowen, Detroit, Mich, (re-elected).

-__In the course of his address the retiring President, John J. Co-
merford, of Detroit, said in part:
It has been my hope—indeed my heart’s desire—to see this or-
4 ganization so developed that the manufacturess of the nation would
' __ be glad of the opportunity to discuss their, problems with us on occa-
sions when they gathered in their meetings, and in like manner, re-
presentatives of this organization might speak to them on phases of
distribution that have a common interest to the manufacturer and the
merchant distributor. Can there be any question as to the propriety
and value of such discussion between these two interests, to wit:
eS - Manufacturers and those who distribute 90 per cent. of the product?
= Can there be any doubt that such a course would develop a better
Bh understanding and a riper sympathy touching these economic handi-
5, caps that beset both branches of the industry ? It is my firm con-
___ yiction that some of the manufacturers who at times sell to our trade
3 would not do so had they a better understanding of our problem. I

a am constrained to this belief because it is inconceivable to me that a
' manufacturer would consciously destroy the hand that feeds him.

Small Dealer Needs Association Most

* I only wish T had the power to tell you of my conception of the
+ power this association for good. We are launched in a great enter-
4 prise. The development of this organization is not the concern of
any one man or group of men. It should be the lively concern of the
entire industry. It is thought by many that this association of neces-
sity must confine its activities. to large city distribution. This is an
error, True it is there are problems in the cities which differ from
those of the smaller town. However, the four corners of the industry
‘involve city, town, village and crossroads dealers, and are touched by
certain common principles. Important as this organization may be in
_. aiding the dealer with the large investment, it is in truth much more
important to the man of small needs who has his very all interested
in some remote community. It is the small dealer who has no oppor-
tunity to come in touch with these sources of information that cau

of this character, the small dealer can be rendered incalculable ser-
vice, a service that will make him a better merchant, and thereby re-
flect resultant value to his whole community.

- John Henry Kirby, unable to be present in person, sent a letter
which was read to the meeting by Secretary Bowen. Summed up,
“modern business is service to the consumer at the least cost. Selfish-
“ness in business can not survive nor can propaganda started from en-
-tirely selfish motives ultimately succeed. The retailer is absolutely

essential to modern business, to progress and growth. This cry for

the elimination of the retailer arises from a selfish purpose not found-

ed in the welfare of the whole country ; the lumber retailer is an abso-
lute necessity. The retail lumberman, together with the banker, form

_ the keystone of community welfare and progress. The direct shipper,

a

on the contrary, has no direct interest in community boosting or
growth. Trade ethics, viewed from the manufacturers’ standpoint,
‘must never overlook the interests of the retailer.

Lumber Exports from Canada Grow

“While the trade in munitions, which helped to sustain Canada’s
prosperity during the war, has dwindled almost to the vanishing
point, exports of products of the forest, lumber, woodpulp and news-
print paper have steadily increased in volume and value during the
| three years ended July 31st last. Exports of unmanufactured wood
| rose in value from $60,673,107 in the period ended July 31st, 1918,
| and $66,753,673 in 1919, to the enormous figure of $122,706,285 in
1920. Partly, no doubt, because of the great demand and high prices
| recently prevailing, the sum realized by Canadians engaged in this

In 1920 the quantity was 14,909,484 cwt. and the value $60,084,414.
Other paper exported increased in value from $4,9298,552 in 1918 to —
$12,060,050 in 1920. Canada sold abroad woodpulp valued at $29,-
302,677 in 1918. She sold the same commodity abroad to the value
of $57,919,248 in 1920. In the three-year period trade in woodpulp
thus doubled. ~

Compared with the exports of woods and paper, the imports of
like goods were small. They were valued at $23,541,492 in 1918 and
at $37,434,773 of which $25,522,081 was for wood, in the period end-
ed last July. It will be seen, therefore, that products of the Domin-
ion’s forests have contributed in a steadily increasing measure to the
maintenance of a favorable trade balance during the past three years.

May Abandon Big Lumber Mill a

Merchants of Waubaushene, Ont., are authority for the state-
ment that the Georgian Bay Lumber Co. will shut up shop and
abandon its mill at the close of the present season’s cut. It is the —
sole supporting industry of the Georgian Bay town, which now num-
bers about one thousand souls, but the news does not come as a Sur-
prise to the inhabitants as action toward this end had been contem-_
plated for some time. The timber limits of the company are ex-
hausted; in fact, part of this season’s cut has been from the logs of
other firms. There are no available limits to warrant further oper
ation at Waubaushene. Already merchants and citizens are prepar-
ing to pull up stakes and indications are not wanting that the town =
will go to the way of many other mining centres with the trend of the —
industry ever northward. The Georgian Bay Lumber Co., of which
\W. J. Sheppard, the well known lumberman, is the head, employed nine

Lumber manufacturers, recognizing this basic principle of their —
industry, are now beginning to see the value of establishing good
will. If the lumber buyer can be sold thoroughly upon a certain
trade-mark, or even company name, then the producer's good will
is going to last, even though he moves to another location and pro-

duces another kind of lumber.

The capitulation of the lumber industry to the force of advertis-

Varied Forests of the United States ae
About 30% of the forest area of the United States, which now
totals 463,000,000 acres, excluding 100 to 150 million acres of low |
grade woodland and scrub, is estimated to be virgin timber. Forests
publicly owned in the United States contain one-fifth of all timber
standing in this country; forests privately owned contain four-fifths
and the private timber is generally more valuable than the publicly-_
owned. Bee 4 fae
The publicly-owned forests are mainly in the West and consist of
national forests, national parks, Indian reservations, military reser-
vations, and state forests. ae ,
The trees of the country are rather sharply defined as to species —
in the various regions, this being the result, of course, of climatic
and soil conditions. The northern forest is the home of the white
pine and allied species, such as spruce, hemlock, cedar, balsam fir,
besides several hardwoods. Yellow pines predominate in the lern
forests, with hardwoods on the better soils and cypress in the swamps.
In the central forests are mostly hardwoods, including oak, yellow ©
poplar, elm, hickory, chestnut, red gum, ash and walnut. The Rocky
Mountain forest is coniferous with western yellow pine as perhaps’
the most common tree. The Pacific coast forest is largely evergreen,
chiefly Douglas fir, western yellow pine, redwood, western red cedar, _
other cedars, firs and spruces. Its trees are the largest and its stands”
the heaviest recorded by history or by geology. i eae

Short Methods in Applying Inspection Rules

Figuring the percentage of cuttings. The.most useful short
method is one used in determining whether a board contains a cer-
tain percentage of cutting. This may be called the Unit Method,
says the National Hardw ood Itumber Bulletin, on this question.

The unit used is 12 square inches, the equivalent of a piece 1.inch
wide by 1 foot long.

Multiply the width in inches of each cutting, by its length in
feet; add the products thus obtained and the result will be the num- —
ber of units of cutting in the board.

To determine the number of units required for 66 2/3 per cent
cutting, multiply the exact surface measure of the board by 8; for
50 per cent. cutting, multiply by 6; for 25 per cent. cutting multiply
by 3; for eighty per cent., multiply by 9 3/5; for 20 per cent., multiply
by 2 2/5: for 33 1/3 per cent., multiply by 4. (The last two are useful
when it is more convenient to figure the amount of waste instead of
the required cuttings).

For example, suppose a board 9 inches wide by 16 ft. long has
the following cuttings :—

Siginch *60 4b, =/5i umits Ainch * 254 it. = °9 units
3. inch X 9% ft. = 28% units 3 inch X 3 1/3 ft. = 10 units

Total 98% units. The board contains 12 ft. surface measure, and
the number of units required for 66 2/3 per cent. cutting is 8 times 12
= 96 units; this board therefore contains more than 60 2/3 per cent.
cutting,

If this board is oak, and if the above cuttings are clear face cut-
tings as defined in the rules, and if the clear face of each cutting is
found on the poor side of the board, and if the board does not contain ,
heart for more than half its length, the grade is No. 1 common.

To determine one-sixth the length of a board, multiply its length
in feet by 2; the result will be the required number of inches; thus,
one-sixth the length of a 12 ft. board is 24 inches, one-sixth of 13 ft. is
26 inches, etc. This is useful in determining free wane and the amount
of wane constituting a standard defect.

To determine one-third the length of a board multiply its length -
in feet by 4; the result will be the required number of inches,

To determine one-fourth the length of a board in (grading Wide

No. 1, and in applying the restriction as to heart in No, 2 common) ~

multiply its length in feet by 3; the result will be the’ required number ~
of inches.

To determine one-tenth the length of a board (in grading Panel) ©
multiply its length in feet by 1 1/5; the result will be the ‘required .

number of inches; thus, one-tenth the length of a 10 ft. board is 1 V/s we

times 10 = 12 inches; one-tenth of 16 it. is 19 1/5 inches, etc.

To determine the amount of thin lumber by resawing a given
amount of any thickness:

For 5/4 resawn once, add 3/5 to the original amount.

For 6/4 resawn once, add 1/3 in three pieces, multiply
resawn in four pieces multiply by 2 2/3.

For 7/4 resawn once, add 1/7.

For 8/4 resawn in three pieces, add 4.

To reduce 7/4 lumber to 6/4, subtract 1/7.

The New Bubkruptey Act Explained

At the annual convention of the Chartered Accountants, held
recently in Toronto, G. T. Clarkson, F.C.A., explained in detail the
causes for and the provisions of the new Bankruptcy Act, explaining
at the same time the benefits it entails.

Chief among these, he said, was the fact that-it was easier for an
honest bankrupt to obtain his charge, while means were provided to
prevent a fraudulent debtor from so doing.

Since 1875, when the Dominion B ankruptcy Act of 1869 was re-
pealed, he said, the liquidation of the estates of bankrupts had been
covered by provincial assignment acts. The Dominion still held con-
trol under the Winding Up Act, but this act was not looked upon
favorably on account of the expense it involved.

Such conditions, stated Mr. Clarkson, had necessitated the framing
of the new act last year. The act provided for a division of estates
in a similar manner and under the same basis as the Assignment

— acts, but had to do with the whole Dominion.

Mr. Clarkson pointed out that under the new act the husband or
wife of a debtor could not claim a settlement for money loans or ser-
vices rendered until such time as all other claims had been met. Like-
wise, a landlord could not claim more than three months’ rent prior
to a settlement with the other creditors.

me just a little space, I would like to offer your readers, as well as
my many friends, that I take exception to a certain statement in your
second to last paragraph, where you say—“Mr. Blair was also inter-
ested.” -

In regard to Mr. Rolland and his connection with Mr. Blair dur-
ing the period that the firm of Louis Rolland & Company existed, I
wish to say that the reason for this firm being called “Louis Rolland
and Company” at that time, was because Mr. Blair was actively in-
terested in the closing up of an old lumber company with which he
had been connected for a number of years—this company closing on
account of the death of the proprietor. Immediately on this work
being completed, he changed the name of “Louis Rolland and Com-
pany” to read “Blair and Rolland” of which Mr. Blair was chief
owner ;and it so happened that during the time this partnership was
working under the style of “Louis Rolland and Company,”
source ‘of supply was maintained by reason of Mr. Blair being re-
sponsible for the interests of those then furnishing this said company.
Also, not long after the formation of “Blair and Company” it was
deemed expedient by Mr. Blair, for future business, that this part-
nership be changed to an incorporated company, which was done,
leaving the “Blairs” with 75 per cent. or more ownership.

No doubt my old friend, Mr. Rolland, was not properly quoted
in your issue of September Ist—if so, he has forgotten the facts
which I give above. If at any time, proof is required, I shall be glad
to furnish same. Yours truly—W. . Blair, Montreal.

Wooden Doors Dating Back to Middle Ages

Among the famous doors of history are the carved wooden doors
of the church of Santa Sabina, Rome, depicting in relief, scenes from
the Old and New Testament. These are one of the most remarkable
examples of early Christian sculpture extant.

In the earliest times, as in Babylon, doors swung on sockets
instead of hinges. In Roman days wooden doors were decorated with
bronze and inlaid, and throughout the Middle Ages richly carved
doors of wood adorned the churches. In the Gothic period, wooden
doors were decorated with wrought iron hinges which were often
elaborated into intricate ornamentation covering a large part of the
door. The doors of the cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris of the 13th
century, are the finest examples of this class. During the Renaissance
in Germany and France elaborately carved doors were among the
most beautiful products of wood sculpture. ,

In the case of interior doors, splendid oil polished mahogany
doors were important features in some old English homes and there
were old oak doors of wonderful beauty, especially when found in oak
panelled rooms.

Haphazard selection of doors of the ready-made variety should
not be allowed in the building of a fine home, but the doors should
be designed by the architect who builds the structure that they may
be in keeping “with the general style of the house. Upon the attrac-

Fear Has no Place in Gdsewoats

Fear is a timidity grown up. It is a paralyzing force
which enchains us.. If we are constantly afraid of some evil
befalling us, it is almost sure to overtake us in time.. ata
very attitude of mind courts the coming of that disaster, ae
the ‘Paper Trade Journal.”

The man who is afraid of taking any responsibility, will
always be an underling.. There is an old saying that, “He chat
fears leaves, must not come into a wood.” And the man who | :
is gunshy of obligating himself of any regular duties, or ' cig
meeting of definite financial obligations will never adv
very far and never grow very rich.

A certain amount of fear is given to us for our prote
but that fear is only in the nature of caution. It is to prey
impulsive and over-hasty action. It is always undesira
that we should have about us anyone who fears us, for ag i
the old maxim speaks truly when it says, “He that fears 704
present, will hate you absent.”. Hatred is to be avoide
thoughts are things. It is much better to have people ’
for us because they want to, than because they have to.

As a rule, it is much wiser for us to stop and e
thing which awakens fear within us. The ghost with ee
pointing finger by the woodshed door, proves to be no
but an old tree with a bare limb. The mysterious fc
the porch outside, are the night noises in the
overhangs the porch. The terrible financial disaster v
see approaching, and which causes us to tremble, is
prove a mere scare head, if we walk right out sil ee
Certainly nothing is gained by running to cover. -, Can

The man in business today has to have his nerve 1 right |
along with him. He cannot be ready to back water at every-
thing, or to shrink into himself at the approach of ‘the first
obstacle. What appears to be a big difficulty, may y prove to be
a very small one or none at all. “aay M2 aS

One of the surest ways to overcome fear or a natufak ten-
dency to fear, is to associate with strong, successful, —_aggres- .
sive people; to read biographies of those who had i
surprising things in the face of many handicaps; and to culti-
vate the habit of overcoming our own mental confusion.

Have you ever stopped to think that the reason ‘we are
afraid, is because we suffer from idea-rout? That is hy
become frightened. Our calmness, our poise, our
though are dissipated by something which cinerea us,
once we get right hold of ourselves and realize the h, we
cease to be frightened. The big man of whom we have
in awe, is likely to be the simplest, the most human and the
kindliest of fellows. Fear of a financial panic which perhaps
has kept us awake nights, is just what lots of people have been
waiting for, knowing that it will give them oppo
get rich, for a single dollar then may develop the
power of two dollars. ‘i A 23:

The big deal into which we have been afraid to go, loses
its terrifying aspects when we consult a banker and
our lawyer, and realize where we can safeguard er
completely against loss.

Fewer Men Being Hired for Woods

The lumber operators of New Brunswick are now sendi
first of their crews into the woods and are engaging men to go in
in the year. The outstanding feature is that fewer men are b
hired this year than last becatse operations are to be curtailed. Last
year there was a considerable expansion of operations in expectatior ;

of stocks of manufactured lumber moving rapidly out of the countr
on account of improved transportation by both land and sea. This
movement never occurred. Ocean freight rates remained at a high
level which only very recently showed any tendency to subside. Rail-
way congestion continued on account of lack of cars and on accow
of labor ‘troubles. The result has been that mill-yards all over New
Brunswick have remained piled high with deal, boards, ete.

2 pa New Eastern Pulpwood Concern
The Jost Pulpwood Co. of Campbellton, N.B., was recently
sranted incorporation. This is the new organization formed to take
care of the rapidly-expanding business -of the Jost Co., Limited,
Montreal, in northern New Brunswick and Eastern Quebec, includ-
ing the Gaspe Peninsula. The idea of this is to give a more complete
“service to the many producers and shippers of pulpwood in that sec-
tion and get in touch with them through a local organization, which
‘will be managed from Campbellton. The firm believe that a local
-organization will be able to foster to better advantage any opportunt-
ties that present themselves in that district. .
' It is not the intention of the new company to go into operating
on any large scale, but their policy is to be in a position to handle
_ the finished product. Any operations that they carry on will be in
the nature of assisting in a financial way any producer who wishes
to erect a rossing plant or extend his operations in the pulpwood busi-
ness in a definite line. ;
- ‘The Jost Co., Limited, of Montreal, of which P. M. Jost is prest-
_ dent, say that the prevailing prices for rossed spruce and balsam pulp-
_ wood were never higher than at the present time in and around Camp-
bellton, N.B. This applies to “spot” wood and to long-term delivery.
The prices in the Campbellton district depend on the freight haul
from shipping point, and command at the present time from $20.00
to $25.00. Continuing, Mr. Jost says: “While the production of
peeled pulpwood this year is, no doubt, going to be larger than it was
last season, a careful canvass of the situation, convinces us that per-
‘haps the production is not going to be as great as we anticipated.
_ While the prices were good during the early part of the peeling season
during May and June, very few jobbers or mills cared to make ad-
- vances and contract for wood at the high prevailing rates. This re-
' sulted in the farmer suspending his peeling operations. On the other
hand, it seems that perhaps the production of rossed wood will be
greater than heretofore, as many lumbermen who have always put
their lumber’ into manufactured wood, are looking into the pulpwood
business, and are making a limited, and, in some cases, putting con-
siderable of their logs into pulpwood. We know of two or three
instances where such operations have been undertaken, and the high
prices which pulpwood commands at the present time, would war-
_ rant the lumberman using their small logs in any event for pulpwood.
. While many are looking for a drop in the present high quotations
- for wood when the first snow roads come, and wood begins to arrive
at the stations and sidings, it does not look as if any immediate drop
in price is likely. As the market for pulpwood is very strong at
the present time, we do not believe that enough wood will come
‘out during the early winter months to more than take care of the
actual requirements of the mills. In any event, the car situation is
not likely to improve materially so as to enable the mills to get de-
livery of any more wood than they require for their immediate use,
and they will not likely be able to accumulate any surplus in their
_ yards. While we may see a slight decrease in the extreme prices now
being paid for spot wood, at the same time our firm is not looking for
any big reduction in price, as practically all the wood that has been
_ made, and is being made, is manufactured on a high scale of wages,
and cost. must be taken care of at current prices. Practically all
producers of pulpwood are able to hold their wood for. the prices
_ that they are asking.” :
~——sGumbermen Getting Into Pulpwood Game
& Word received from Fredericton, N.B., is to the effect that more
and more firms are getting into the pulpwood business and establish-
- ing rossing plants. A considerable number of those engaged in the
_ jumber industry are fitting up departments in their mills to ross
_ wood. Among these are O’Brien’s Ltd. and James Robinson of Chat-
‘ham, N.B. It is becoming increasingly difficult to get the necessary
- labor to go into the woods and peal during the summer months, and
there can be no doubt that the supply of peeled wood will quickly
_ diminish and its place be taken in the near future by machine-rossed
wood. — .

igs Has Riordon Bought O’Brien Limits?
i= Deep interest centres in the report heard. in Haileybury, Ont.,
at Senator M. J. O’Brien of Renfrew had disposed of his vast tim-
er limit in northwestern Quebec to the Riordon interests.

This limit is among the largest in Canada, and lies adjacent to the
Quinze series of waterfalls, at the north end of Lake Timiska-
~ It is this area to which the Ontario Government proposed last

p

al oy 9 i ARS

spring to extend the Nipissing Central Railway from New Liskeard,
which work has not yet, however, been commenced. It is also to this
point that the extension of the Mattawa branch of the C. P. R. is
headed.

The Riordon Company has its Kipawa plant situated at the south
end of Lake Timiskaming, 60 miles from the O’Brien limit. This
plant is surrounded with a huge limit of its own, and it has not been
learned whether the O’Brien purchase is for the purpose of adding to
these reserves, or marks the first step in the establishment of another
huge plant at the Des Quinze waterfalls.

Mr. Backus and English River Limit

A deputation from Kenora waited upon the Ontario Government
recently, asking that certain concessions be granted to E: W. Backus
of the Fort Frances Pulp & Paper Co., in regard to the English
River timber and pulpwood limits. It developed that the Backus in-
terests are willing to have the English River limits put up to compe-
tition and to take their chances on the bidding. They stipulated,
however, that in such a case they would not be bound by any agree-

ment to the town of Kenora regarding the erection of a pulp and

paper mill on the assumption of certain obligations in connection
with the power plant of that town.’ Representatives of Kenora plead-
ed with the government to grant a permit to the Backus people with-
out competition but fix its own price on the pulpwood.

In writing to Premier Drury, Mr. Backus said that he had no
objection to timber and pulp limits being sold by public tender and
only regretted that this course was not adopted sooner, so that de-
velopment work might have been proceeded with several months
ago if the tender of his company had been accepted. “If you will put
the English River area up for public tender,” he said, “I shall try and
meet my competitors on common ground, but if I must do so, I cer-
tainly cannot be bound with any agreement with Kenora, which was
conditional upon its securing the raw material for the mills.” Jt
appears Kenora will be in a bad. way if it does not get the big pulp
mills, which Mr. Backus proposes erecting there. The town has had
the Backus people submit a tentative to the agreement in which one
of the stipulations is that they would, if necessary, reserve 50% of
their output for Canadian publishers.

Various other matters were discussed and Premier Drury stated
that a strong case had been made out and that the whole question
would be decided by the Cabinet in the near future.

Britishers Want Quebec Pulp Lands
Although it cannot hold out the temptations to immigration
which are ‘possessed by Ontario and more especially by the Western

provinces, Quebec is at the present more prominently. before British ~

investing public than any other part of Canada, says a cable from
London, Eng. Lt.-Col. P. Pelletier, Agent-General of the province,
said that he has been approached during the past two months by a
large number of British financiers who desired to purchase pulpwood
limits along the North Shore in Gaspe, in Chicoutimi, and in other
districts.

It is understood here that Sir Lomer Gouin will shortly come
to London to interest British capital in the pulp and paper opportuni-
ties of Quebec. Sir Lomer’s brief outline of these advantages at the
Canadian Club banquet in London was widely commented upon by
the British press at the time, and before he returned to Canada he was
in touch with several British capitalists interested in this line of busi-
ness.

Development of Ancient Colony’s Resources
' Important development of the great pulpwood resources of
Newfoundland is about to be undertaken under grants to two pulp
and paper manufacturing companies made at the last session’ of the
colonial Legislature. One of these companies is British, the other
Norwegian.

The mills of the British concern will be located at Bonne Bay,
half way up the west coast. This port is the centre of winter her-
ring fishing activities. In its. vicinity are large areas, thickly wood-
ed with spruce and fir, through which flow rivers which will afford
good water powers as well as facilities for floating logs.

Bonavista Bay, on the east coast, is to be the site of the Nor-
wegian company’s mill. Cod fishing at present is the great industry
there. Backward from the bay runs a series of well-wooded valleys,

drained by rivers of good size.

Ontario and the East

Conditions in the lumber line are rather quiet at the present
‘ time. Some wholesalers report that a fair amount of stock is moving,
but generally there is a disposition on the part of retail dealers to buy
only for immediate requirements. White pine values are holding but
i Spruce and hemlock are off a bit. The building outlook is somewhat
ti uncertain and the tendency of nearly every industry is to curtail and
i unload as much goods as possible. What is characteristic of the
other activities is also applicable, to a large extent, in the lumber
', arena. It is anticipated that there will be a large number of men
seeking work in the, bush this winter. Hundreds will be returning
from the west, and, as many factories have laid off hands, there may
| be some difficulty in the wanderers finding employment except in the
woods. While wages asked are $70.00 to. $75.00, along with board,
it is predicted by some loggers that there will be a drop before many
months.

Most of the lumber camps are not putting in as many crews
this season as last, and the building outlook is rather precarious.
Then, too, many other factors have entered into the situation and
tended to perturb conditions. First, there was the general labor un-
rest and then came.the business tax of 1% and 2% on all sales, and
lastly the 40% jump in freight rates in the east.

; “Ts it any wonder,” remarked a leading Toronto wholesaler this
week, “that business is shot to pieces in some lines. Just as soon as
_ conditions begin to settle down or to become stabilized, there is a
strike, a new tax or some other disintegrating factor. The Govern-
! ment and the railways, along with labor, are largely to blame for the
present quiet period.
‘! and unless more structural enterprises are undertaken, I “can see
where some firms are going to have a good deal of stock on hand. I
‘| do not believe in prophecy. So many standards Have been upset, but
you cannot expect conditions ever to become normal as long as so
many unforeseen cost-increasing regulations, in the way of getting
| the stock in the hands of the retailers and on the market, continue.
Additional labor demands, increased freight rates, scarcity of cars,
_ business sales tax, and I don’t know what next, are all having their
influence in keeping back the period of readjustment and reconstruc-
_, tion, concerning which so many fine theories have been spun.”

Most of the cars of B. C. stock that were put in transit before
the new freight rates went into effect have been sold, and naturally
_ there is not much doing in western stuff at the present time. The
principal topic of discussion is the new freight rates and whether the
* B.C. mills will assume any portion of this extra charge has not yet
been definitely decided. It is reported in certain quarters that the
operators will take care of part of the additional levy, while other
manufacturers say that, owing to the excessive cost of production they
are unable to do so. There the matter stands at present but it is
expected a definite decision will be reached in a few days.

An Ontario representative of a live lumber firm, who has been
spending several weeks in the north and is thoroughly familiar with
onditions, says that mills are paying men $75.00 per month with board,
_and that these figures cannot get suitable workers. At one point
twenty-five men jumped in one day. In a single week one concern
hired fifty-seven men, fired four and fifty-two jumped. It has been the
same routine during the last few weeks. “On account of the labor
situation and market conditions, there has,” he continued, “been very
little done in the bush as yet. Several companies have not put in any
men, and those firms, which have started opeations, have only a few
‘workmen in the woods. When the harvesters return and the mills
close down, the labor situation will, in all probability, be relieved.
Even if the camps were to fill up this week, the fact remains that
they are from one to six weeks behind.”

“This,” added the speaker, “looks to me as if production for 1920
will be very low. This state of affairs, coupled with the extra high
wages and decrease in efficiency, makes me believe and feel that prices
will not go very much below present levels; in fact, if there is any
demand at all next spring, I would look for a raise in price. I under-
stand that one firm in the north have their camps filled up, and this
is because they have a large burned limit to clear. They are paying

‘up to $85.00 a month. Their intention is to clear this limit and then
close their camps early in December. I do not think they have sleigh
roads to build, but skid their logs to the water. There is, of course,
a lot of 1920 cut of white pine still in the manufacturers’ hands, as
well as several lots of hemlock. Then there are unusually heavy

before the end of the year and perhaps it will be next speitag iil
the revival fully sets in. The recent advance in freight rates has, just
the same as in Canada, been a disturbing element and-tended to —
depress matters materially. Buyers demand that the mills should pay —
the extra carrying charge and, while some manufacturers have vie
ed for fear of losing business many of the large ones entertain the o he
view of the matter. oo
pa ; ae § : Aa —
The majority of the larger mills are maintaining their pri 5 a
most of them are accepting only those orders that meet their id
of values. But a good share of the current volume of busines is
being actively sought by mills that need orders and concessions are
seen in virtually the entire list. Timbers are a single exception,
held firm with a tendency to further stiffening in the 14 and 6-inc
sizes. Conservative opinion is that recession in prices will continue, —
but conditions indicate that it will be gradual. net ae

Hardwoods continue inactive, due to extreme dullness of dem:
from industrial consumers. Here, too, there are indications of gre
stability within the next two or three months. Many Jumber-us
industries are depleting their stocks without replacement and a per
of buying is in prospect despite the reduced consumption, |
buying of hardwoods is more in evidence, but there is little change
otherwise in the current situation. rd Pom ote en

From Buffalo comes the report that very little is doin; in the cs
hardwood line and trade is small in volume compared to a few weeks
ago. Hemlock shows but little change. There aré some inquiries but
prices are still uncertain, Trade in southern pine remains quiet. Prices
continue uncertain and ample stock is obtainable. There has been a
decline in the price of shingles. The demand has fallen off because
of the many substitutes for shingles that are being used. The —
lath trade is quiet. The market for western pine remains quiet. New |
price lists show some advances. Retailers report business rather quiet
and they are buying only absolute requirements. ae 2K eh, -

There is generally in every city much speculation as to the Lis: “a
trend of lumber prices. It is generally known that there is a wide
range in prices, depending upon conditions in the several sections. _
Manufacturers whose financial situation is such as to make unneces-
sary any large concessions in prices are holding firmer than those
whose financial necessities require prompt movement of their product.
With an improvement such as is expected when the spring | uying
movement opens up, students of the market look for the early elimin-
ation of the low prices, because of their too close proximity to the
cost of production to make for a safe margin of profit; at the same —
time no general advance over highest prices now preva
pected, but that values next season will show a greater measure of ta- ae

stocks are adequate to take care of demands pretty well for the re-
mainder of the season. General factory conditions are still unsettle fo
to a certain extent, which has curtailed several new projects which
have been under way or contemplated. There were 191 permits grant- —

General Lumber Trade at St. John is Quiet |

During the last two weeks a dullness has pervaded the export

market for spruce both to United States and to Great Britain. Prices
for United States delivery are not reduced to any extent, but no sales
ih: . of any size can be made as no one seems to want to purchase ahead,
| prefering to wait and buy only as wanted.

The English market is at the moment very sluggish. No prices

‘are obtainable, and. buyers refuse to purchase. Freights are not
‘steady, with a lower tendency.

et No sales or contracts are being made by brokers here for next
winter or spring’s delivery of portable mill stocks. They refuse to
' trade at any price and will not advance money to any one, claiming
that it is too much of a chance even though they are offered winter
cuts of portable sawn lumber as low as $30 to $32 per M:, St. John.
‘Should this condition keep up only a very limited portable cut will
take place, which no doubt will have a good influence on the market
t for next year. This condition of affairs will also be found in logging.
| Practically no logs will be cut on the upper St. John to come to St.
fe John. Messrs. Stetson, Cutler & Co, will probably cut about ten mil-
, lion or less. Murray & Gregory, Ltd., about 1% million. Randolph
- & Baker three to four million. ' Messrs. Stetson, Cutler & Co. are
carrying over a large stock of logs. Murray & Gregory, Ltd., will cut
for their mills near home on the lower section of the river, and Messrs.
_ Randolph & Baker the same. The St. John Lumber Co., whose mills
-are at Van Buren, Me., will only cut about 10 to 20 million against
a usual 40 million.
. The mills at St. John will therefore not be loaded up with any
_ great quantity of logs and will be in position not to saw unless the
market shows a profitable price. The mills are still sawing, but very
little shipping is taking place, and no inducements are held to ship
any stocks at present,

Local business at the factories still remains good and shows con-
siderable repair work taking place all over the country. , Prices have

7. . _ Export Business Fails Off Decidedly at Quebec

Shipping activities in regard to timber and sawn lumber from
the port of Quebec has almost come to a standstill. The slackening
off set in towards the middle of September and Quebec exporting
firms consulted say that this change in conditions is due to the fact
that the markets in the United Kingdom have stopped buying and
@ that this also applies to the American and the Canadian markets.
The only shipments noticeablé in.the present are small parcels of

deals and spoolwood. The steamer “Bitmore Head” arrived at Quebec

from Montreal on the 19th to complete a cargo, and was desirous of
1, loading up 700 standard of deals but could only obtain 200 standard
for the reason that the Quebec lumber firms had no orders to fill.
_ The goods are here and owing to the low depth of water in the St.
| Lawrence between Quebec and Montreal, the ships are most anxious
| to come to the port of Quebec for timber and deals, but there are
| no cargoes for them on account of the state of-the United Kingdom
i markets, which are practically all closed as far as buying is concerned.

The dullness in the demand of hardwoods still pieisits, the wr

Canadian market. is quiet. There is a feeling in Poe
however, that when. the presidential elections in the
are over, there will come-a reaction in favor of the Canadian
trade. One of the causes for the stagnation in both the
and Canadian markets is the slump in the building trade of both c
tries. The cause is primarily due not to the cost of timb
lumber but to the high cost of other essential materials and 1
shortage of cement. The demand for the latter has bs a x
creased for the product in the district of Quebec, and, it is
stood, the same applies to all parts of the province, where the 1
is'manufactured. The demand for cement does not alone apply t
the cities and towns. The farmers in the country are seen bui
the foundations of their homes with cement, and in the more a
date villages using it for sidewalks. In the meantime there are sig
ofa change i in conditions. The requisition for house -acomm¢
in Quebec. and, in fact, the whole province, has become so insistent
that the municipal councils are discussing the question in all its”
ousness. The New York State Legislature is being called for a spec; c-
ial session to consider the question and adopt a scheme for the pro-—
motion of building, and, no doubt, the result of this session will give
an impetus to building, which will affect the Canadian. ae

It is rather difficult at the present to forecast the cut la \u-
facture of timber and sawn lumber for the 1921 market. The ‘
correspondent of the “Canada Lumberman” has discussed this ques -
tion with the leading limit holders and mill owners of Quebec, who
say it is a difficult question to answer at the present. They y all agree e
that logs will be no cheaper this year and point out that the big nd
of the cost will be in the production of logs, and if labor seek Z|
higher wages, the cost of manufacture will naturally advance. Th
point out that the big and continued increase in the demand for p
and paper and pulpwood means that the way things look toddig. se ere =
will be a large curtailment of labor in the lumber trade for the reas sg
that by a higher scale of wages. in the manufacture of pulpwo
labor will be attracted from the cutting and manufacture of lumbe

guest of honor at a lunch meeting of the Quebec Canadian Club held
at the Chateau Frontenac, September 21st, and, in the course of a
speech he made, said that he had seen during his trip something of
the unlimited limits of the timber resources. “We have,” said his
Lordship, “had a stone age, the bronze age and the iron ‘age. Per-
haps this will be known as the paper age. We sometimes talk as if
paper only meant newsprint. Our consumption of newsprint in Great
Britain is only one-sixth of the total consumption of paper.” While
he thought Canadians had been wise in refusing to be mere lumber-
men and export pulpwood, it would be defeating our own objects and
lessening our own prosperity by refusing to export pulpwood.

The influx of explorers from Europe and the United States, who
are now to be found in every section of the forest properties in the
province of Quebec, is beginning to cause serious reflection on the part
of the Quebec Government and those identified with the timber and
lumber trade, who fear that the demand will make such inroads into
the forest wealth of the province as to deplete the wood asset before
the scheme of reforestation has been seriously put into practice.

One of the questions that is now agitating the minds of the Que-
bec timber trade as well as the Government is the actual extent of
the forest areas of the province. No real survey has ever been made
up ‘to the present, with the exception of the 45,000,000 acres under
jicense and the approximate 75,000,000 acres of land still free of
license, practically virgin forest, while on the other hand something
like 1,000,000,000 feet of timber have been already cut from the
licensed areas, and it is calculated that four or five times more than
this amount can still be removed from the same lands without unduly
exploiting them and endangering the future supply.

The Quebec Government is paying more attention than ever in
the importance and value of its forest wealth, and has come to recog-
nize that the most important fact is to ascertain the actual extent of
the forest property of the province. To this end the Government has

. decided to institute an inventory of the entire forest lands of the pro-
‘vince, a work of no small magnitude. It will be carried out system-
atically under the expert supervision of Mr. G. C. Piche, chief of the
province of Quebec Government Forest Service.
forest posts will be established at Hamilton Bay, Ungava Bay and
James Bay, from which centres foresters will go out and make in-
ventories. These posts are to be connected by means of wireless
telegraphy, and at the same time the aeroplane is to be called into
rquisition for the purpose of making photographic surveys. Thus
it will be seen that the Taschereau Government is not only desirous
and anxious to learn the real and full extent of the forest property of
the province, but to prevent the forests from being wasted or over-
exploited.

Ottawa Reports Shortage of Labor and Cars

A serious shortage of woods labor, together with a sharp de-
cline in the availability of foreign cars, and a general slackening of
trade, marked the Ottawa Lumber market during the closing period
of September. The slow call for lumber and lumber products, came
as a distinct surprise to those of the trade who in June and July
most optiniisticly prohpesized- “good” fall business. Despite the
circumstances the trade was hopeful that business would yet pick up.

Prices remained firm in all grades. Lath and shingle stood
at their previous quotations. The demand for sash and door, if any-

thing fell away. Woodworking factories and plants reported a les-
-sened demand and business on the whole was chiefly confined to box,
furniture and other manufacturers.

As gauged from the principal or most important angle, that ol
. manufacture and source of supply, the market seemed to be in the
“most unstable condition that it has been for many years in relation
to bush labor.

The programme previously designed and hoped for in the bush
operation of the Ottawa Valley is not being fulfilled or carried out.
This may seem a rather strong assertion to some manufacturers or
the trade in general, but it’s the truth.

The correspondent of the Canada Lumberman has been cited
several instances, where woods production is not only going to fall,
but is actually falling down. Without naming any particular company
the following is a concrete example:

The company this year in one operation intended to establish and
operate eight camps instead of six. Each camp was to be manned
by one hundred men. The result was that six camps began opera-
tions with fifty instead of one hundred men each. The operating
camps were not filled, but the company nevertheless held some
slender hope that they would ultimately establish the two extra camps
and carry out their particular operation. A special representative
and employee of the company set out at Ottawa to get one hundred
men, at particularly high wages. He got six men.

Generally in trade circles considerable apprehension was attach-
ed to this year’s woods output. As previously forecasted in these
columns the likelihood is that’ the cut of the Ottawa Valley this
year will drop—and perhaps drop heavily. John R. Booth, and other

leading companies have, so it is stated, a Vey siderable nt
of logs “stranded” owing to low water. These ioe were cut
year or perhaps two or three years ago. Consequently, with the ad.
vent of high water prevailing in the Ottawa River and its tributar
ies next spring, the likelihood is that these logs will come down, —
if they do in sufficient quantities, perhaps there will be enough to en
sure production on a normal scale. However, this is problematical,
and if certain buyers of the trade could correctly dope out what is
going to happen between now and next June, it’s safe there would
be a lot of buying. The uncertainty as to the outcome of this sh
bush operations naturally set everyone ‘guessing. .

From an employer’s end the labor situation was largely attri
el to an increase in construction operations being carried on tunel ‘
out the country. Several of the manufacturers openly stated thet
was this year an apparent reluctancy on the part of labor to go in
the woods if other positions were available. On an average t
camps of the Ottawa Valley lumbering companies are a erage 01
than half filled in comparison with last year, and the prospect of r e
camps being put in and fully manned are slim. ;

The demand, such as it was, came principally from the. ‘Unit
States and was mostly for the middle grades. A difference of op in-
ion existed among shippers as to the car situation. Some: maintai
ed there were plenty of cars to carry the reduced shipments, w
others inclined to the view that foreign cars were scarce. __

One of the principal reasons outside of the labor atean é
the decrease in orders, was the new increase in freight rates. ‘Itw yas
referred to by several wholesale yards purchasing lumber out of Ot-
tawa that they were not now ready to buy if the stock was ‘shipp ed
from very distant points.

Another and more optimistic view was entertained, that w me
the public became accustomed to the added increase in f ht rates
that purchases of lumber would be made as before. Little or
change was shown during the period in connection with the ‘ ‘uropean
export situation. The press notice that the Canadian Government
had declined to guarantee delivery of shipments and enter into trade
to and from Russia had not been fully digested Kits the 5 a to
September 24th. 4

Laurentide Has Big Pulpwood Reserved

Sharebee of. ey
Company, Limited, at the first
annual meeting of the reconstruct-
ed enterprise held in the offices of
the vice-president, C. R. Hosmer,
Montreal, heard from the prési-
dent, George Chahoon, ‘ an in-
teresting outline of the policy be-
ing carried out by the pros aa
pulp and paper concern in the
of extensions to both mill « Sad ¢
“and pulp land holdings and the
changes in these respects effected —
in the yeaa es +

The two new eee
machines, upon which construc- —
tion work was begun some months —
ago, Mr. Chahoon * stated, were
now reaching the’ stage of com
plete installation, and it was an~
ticipated that both would be in|
operation by the turn of the - year.
The output of newsprint would
be increased by 150 tons daily, c 7
approximately 50,000 tons per annum, he said, which additional su
ply was to be taken by the New York Times Ba! a ee con-_
tract favorable to the company. ‘

The Laurentide president further stated that the company dar
ing the past year had acquired here and there small parcels of timber
lands, the supply of wood from which would be sufficient to meet the -
demands of the Grand’Mere enterprise for the increased capacity 01 ih
‘the next ten or twelve years, without touching the old limits. The
policy of acquiring fresh limits, he said, had been pursued for ‘some
years past, so that at the present time, Laurentide has a are
supply. of wood available than it had some ten or fifteen years ago.

Mr. Chahoon, in reply to Mr. Blackadar, one of the shareholders
present at the meeting, stated that the company’s water powers on
the St. Maurice River had been more than doubled in potenti és
while the reforestation policy adopted some years ago was develop-
ing along satisfactory lines. Laurentide, he said, was the first paper
company to study scientifically the replenishing of cut limits, 1
had gone further in this respect than any similar industrial on th
continent. :

Pulpwood and Its Varied Activities

(Continued from page 65)

At present the only pulp and paper mills in the island are at
Grand Falls, in the interior, were the Anglo-Newfoundland Develop-
ment Company some years ago established an extensive plant which
supplies the Northcliffe papers in England with most of their material.
Before the war capitalists were negotiating for other similar pro-
ects.

Now that the survivors of the Newfoundland regiment are at
home again, and the supply of labor appears satisfactorily, the world-
wide demand for paper has stimulated new efforts. Negotiations

are under way looking toward exploiting large tracts of spruce on

the south coast. The extensive timber holdings of the Reid-New-
foundland Company, obtained as part of their compensation from the
Government for opening up a large part of the colony with a rail-
way line, also are expected to be utilized for pulp-making in the near
future. Still another project in contemplation is the establishment
of paper and pulp mills, saw mills and veneer mills for the manufac-
ture of birch into boxes and barrels, at St. Georges, on the west coast.

The company promoting the St. Georges’ enterprise is composed
of British and American capitalists, who control 1,500 square miles
of timberland in that Vicinity and 1,000 square miles bordering on
Grand Lake, the largest body of water in the colony. The upper end
of the lake has direct rail connection with St. Georges.

Whalen Company Elects New Directors
Sir George Bury officially severed his connection as president and
managing director of the Whalen Pulp and Paper Company, Van-
couver, recently, when the new board of directors was elected. It
is expected that the new president and managing director will be elect-
ed in the near future at a meeting of the board held either in New
York or in Eastern Canada.

The secretary-treasurer reported that construction work having

been now completed the company’s plants were now in a position
to effectively handle the large and constantly increasing business
offered. The following board of directors was elected:

Messrs. A. H. Douglas and Walter McLachlan, representing

British shareholders: R. Higgins, of the Zellerbach Paper Company,

San Francisco; James Whalen, Alexander Smith, Peabody Hough-
teling, Chicago; I. W. Killam, president Royal Securities Corpora-
tion; Prof. Lawrence Killam, University of British Columbia; T. W.
McGarry, Toronto; F. F. Cole, New York; W. D. Ross, vice-presi-
dent of the Nova Scotia Steel ‘and Coal Company, and M. J. Haney,
Toronto, the receniiy appointed director of the Riordon Pulp and

Paper Company.

Death of Pioneer Pulp Man

John Ford, of Portneuf, Que., died recently. He followed the
business of paper-making all his life and saw the first groundwood
pulp made in Canada by. the hydraulic process. Mr. Ford also built
the first successful pulp mill in Canada at Glenford, Portneuf county,
which was in operation until a few years ago. He was an engineer
and inventor of marked ability, and many of his inventions are now
in general use in pulp and paper,mills throughout Canada. The
passing of Mr. Ford marks the severance of another link which con-
nects the present with the past.

Riordon Prospects are Very Bright

There is considerable talk heard in paper circles regarding the
prospects of the Riordon Co. The earnings of this organization are
constantly reaching new high records, and the present rate would
seem to indicate as much as 12% on the new common stock. The
new stock is being dealt with on the unlisted department at around
53 a share. The prediction is heard that it will be placed on a divi-
dend basis this fall, but no intimation has been given respecting
the probable amount of the dividend: The price of the company’s
product, which is principally bleached and easy bleaching sulphite
pulp, is now at the very top, with orders ahead for a long period, and
from all that can be seen, it is believed that pulp is not likely to’
experience any recession for some weeks to come.

Company Does Unique Advertising

The effectiveness of newspaper and poster advertising was dem-
onstrated in many new ways during the war in getting recruits,
floating Victory bonds, inaugurating public celebrations and enforcing
military regulations. Many an industrial plant, which has been in
need of labor, has occasionally placed a small want ad. or a 2” or 3”
black-faced type announcement in the daily or weekly press, but it
remained with the Fort William Paper Co., Limited, to undertake
the thing on what might be called a colossal scale. This company is
erecting a $3,000,000 “pulp and paper plant_on the Mission site of

Pulp Companies Pay High Woods Wages 4

A leading lumberman reports that men are scarce in ceva
districts and are particularly restless. They are demanding the hig
est wages ever known and lumber operators in their logging acti’ iti ~
are up against the competition of pulp and paper companies who a a
paying as high as $85.00 a month for woods labor. This they are <
to do because newsprint is commanding an exceptionally high pri
and another advance goes into effect on the lst of the month whe
the product will bring from 5%c to 6c per lb. The market for thi
commodity is steady—in fact there is a decided shortage— and th
mills must have pulpwood, no matter what the operating exper
are. The price obtained for the finished product justifies the mea
The lumber situation, on the other hand, is uncertain. Demand h
fallen off, buying is rather slow, building has halted, and ae what
the future holds in store no one can foretell.

Aggressive Head of Busy Concern
Hubert Biermang,* manag s-
director of the Belgo-Canedian ie
Pulp & Paper Co. is widely
known to the industry in Canada,
and is at the head of one of the —
most progressive organizations in -.
its line in Canada. The various ©
units of the organization are lo-
cated at Shawinigan Falls. The
Belgo-Canadian groundwood pulp
output is 165 tons a day, sulphite ;
pulp 90 tons and newsprint 200°
tons. Mr. Biermans was born in
Holland in December, ‘1864, an
after leaving school, was an ap-
prentice for one year in the ma-
chine shops of the Railway
“Grand Central Belge” at Lou-
vain, Belgium. Later he was as-
sistant engineer in Corsica, Al-
giers and France of the ‘Compag-_
nie des Cheminéde- Fer Depart
mentaux, for four years, and in —
1899 was appointed engineer aaa :
later chief engineer of the Congo Railway, which position he a
filled for nine years. Mr. Biermans next went on a special mission to
the Gold Coast, representing the Banque d’ Outremer. This was fol-—
lowed by a tour of investigation of the Phillipines for the ‘King of —
Belgium, where Mr. Biermans spent two years studying the advisa-
bility of building a railway from Santa Crux, Los Banos, to Manilla. —
Twenty years ago the subject of this reference came to Shawinigan
Falls, where he has resided ever since, with the exception of a few —
months in each year which are spent in Brussels, ee 8 which —
point he makes frequent business trips. There the head office of the
organization is located.

‘Mr. Biermans is a kindly and thoughtful gentleman, who
won the esteem and confidence of all his ‘associates. His recreations |
are golf and tennis and he belongs to a number of leaitine ize in
Montreal.

The Belgo-Canadian industry has been financed largely by Ie
ing capitalists overseas and is one of the industries in ré
which spectacular stock flotations or other sensational “fliers” ‘to
not been heard. It pursues the quiet, even tenor of its way.
tensive additions are being made to the plant. The new groundw
mill will provide for three grinder units, of which two will be it
stalled at present. The grinder room extensions will be 59’ wide and
108’ in length, and, the addition to the boiler room, will have a span
of 64’ and length of 84’ and the new transmission building a s
of 26’ anda length of 74’. The latter is located at the farther end
the new boiler house. The new grinders, which will be installed, are
of the magazine type, two to a unit, and each grinder will have @ n
approximate capacity of 20 tons.

One of the sawmill plants of the Belgo-Canadian Co. is loca
in Three Rivers, and the other at Shawinigan Falls. The annual
is about 15,000,000 feet of lumber, besides” lath, shingles, boxboards,
etc. The lumber department is under the capa’ direction of H. mS
Howe and has had a busy season. .

Immense Pulpwood Cut in the North

Attractive Prices Induce Many Settters and Operators to Get

Busy—Much Poplar Being Offered

IX. R. Heyland, of the Thompson & Heyland Lumber Co., To-
ronto, who carry on an extensive business in pulpwood and ship
large quantities to the Thorold district, as well as Pennsylvania,
states that there will be a bigger cut of pulpwood throughout North-
ern Ontario this year than ever; in fact more wood is being taken
and as the fall months roll
round, more settlers and farmers will be getting into the game.
Mr. Heyland reports that more offerings of wood are coming to
hand than in any previous year. Owing to the prevailing high quota-
_ tions and the fact that the future of lumber prices and demand is

somewhat uncertain, many residents of Northern Ontario and East-
ern Quebec are directing their operations in taking off pulpwood. li
"is the most profitable way to dispose of their smaller logs.

South of North Bay rough spruce and balsam is selling at $13.50
to $14.00 per cord, f.o.b. shipping point, and peeled spruce and bal-
sam from $21.00 to $22.00 per cord. Peeled poplar is bringing $12.50
to $14.00 and peeled hemlock $15.00. Very little rough hemlock ot
poplar is bought. The product is practically all peeled. These figures

"| may vary some according to the freight rates from different points

but are a fair average price of what wood is commanding south of
North Bay.

North of that point, say at Englehart, rough spruce and balsam
is sold at $12.50 and peeled spruce and balsam $20.00 per cord, while
There is much more poplai
wood being offered than there is a market for at the present time.

The car situation has greatly improved in the northern part of
the province during the past few weeks, and shipments are more
prompt. As conditions are at present, many of the mills hesitate to go

into the northern part of Ontario for wood, owing to the fact that it

must be paid for when it is stacked up at the point of shipment, If
there are no cars to take it out, it means a tying-up of the investment
for a considerable period. It is declared that "if pulpwood could be
loaded on the cars as it is produced and shipped immediately! it would
mean a difference of $1.25 per cord in charges, apart altogether from
the shrinkage,

‘Poplar Wood for Soda Pulp
It is understood that the Howard Smith Paper Mills are estab-
dishing a 50-ton soda pulp plant at Cornwall, where soda pulp wili
be made from poplar wood. Mr. Smith was interviewed recently in

hee regard to the development and expansion of the use of poplar in the
» manufacture of pulp and utilizing even greater quantities of this

iN

iz
'

\
ie)

Y

wood which the north country in certain districts is generously en-
dowed. Mr. Smith states that soda pulp is a new article in Canada,
although it has been made for a great many years in other countries,
and poplar is the wood employed; in fact, it is the only kind that
gives satisfaction. Soda pulp is used very largely i in the manufacture
“of book papers and the Howard Smith Paper Mills have been import-
ing large quantities of this pulp for some time. “The chief difficuity,”
declared Mr. Smith, “is in obtaining supplies of raw material.” He
has been very much interested in searching poplar limits to obtain
this wood. It, apparently, grows in stands in different parts of the
country, and is strictly a “rail” proposition as the wood will not boat.
The mew soda pulp plant will be located at Cornwall and wood will
be brought to that point from the north section of Ontario both by
boat and rail.

Mr. Smith states that poplar grows much quicker than spruce
and the company has to get some to start with as they cannot wait

- for the wood to grow in any limits they might purchase or any re-

rt

forestation scheme they might adopt.
Speaking of poplar, a recent despatch from Ottawa says that this
wood bids fair to take on a new value in Ontario, Quebec and New
Brunswick. Recent applications have ‘been received by the Govern-
ment of Quebec for permission to export poplar logs to the United
States but these have been turned down on the ground that no logs
can be exported from Crown Lands under the Quebec law in un-
manufactured form. It was generally thought that as poplar has been
a “weed tree” no objections would be raised to its cutting and sale
anywhere in log form. The provincial Government takes the view
that as spruce and balsam were anly a few years ago regarded as
“weed trees,” poplar is certain to come into its own for soda process
‘paper making and for other purposes. Recently a five million dol-
lar British match concern located in Quebec and will use poplar for
match splints exclusively.

July 8th; 1858, shows the following prices: best butter, 10 cents a
pound ; 4 cents a dozen; chickens 12 cents each.

Higher Prices for Railway Ties ‘has

The time for taking out ties starts early next month, so far |
the general operator is concerned. The prospects are bright for an
unusually large production of both softwood and hardwood ties dur-
ing the coming winter. Prices have advanced somewhat and show an
increase of about 15% over last year. a

A leading Ontario purchaser of ties stated recently that, owing ©
to the somewhat doubtful outlook of the general building situatio n and
the lumber market for the coming year, which was causing’ various
logging firms to decrease production, many small operators were _
turning their attention to ties. The requirements of the railways were —
about. normal and the advance in the prevailing price of ties of 15%
will, no doubt, prove an incentive to increased activity in this direction
in various parts of the country. i i

between the runners on the timber sleighs is three feet, whereas i
is generally two feet. The logs for charcoal are two feet long an
not 10 feet. Ina letter to the “Canada Lumberman,” Mr, Seland

_ and most of them are now of little use.

Stop the Leaks
That Steal |
Your Profits —

These are many expensive leaks in
your plant that you know nothing
about. |

Loss of power through slippage on
pulleys — spoiled materials — idle ma-
chines—employees paid for time while
repairs are being made—wrong plac-
ing of belts—each one costs you money
in power waste and lost production.
They take more out of your profits than
our better belts would cost.

Dominion Friction
Surface Belting

will eliminate most transmission trou-
bles, for it is more than just a belt—it
is service built into a product.

Our engineers are ready to demon-
strate to you, without charge, that Do-
minion Friction Surface Belting will
lower your manufacturing costs. —

Prescott’s Valve Controller

Patented June 8, 1915

The Machine You Have Been Waiting for.

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. hak:

3—Gives the sawyer every confidence in handling valve.

4—Wiill 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 cone
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 lumber companies on the

north shore has to say about it.
We are sole Canadian manufacturers of these machines.

PRESCOTT’S VALVE CONTROLLER

Waubaushene, Ont., Sept. 11, 1917.
Messrs. Wm. 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 thereby 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 6n securing an
article that will fill many a long felt want.

Yours truly,
(Signed) D. B. Anderson,
Chief Engineer,
The Georgian Bay Lumber Co., Ltd.

World-Wide Acceptance
of Goodyear Belts

THERE is a world-wide ac-
ceptance of the Goodyear

Belting whichdominatesinCan- —

adian industry.

This direct endorsement of the
Goodyear principles of manu-
facture and application gives us
no little pride. It means that
the technical men of the world
‘see eye to eye with Canadians
in the matter of economical
and satisfactory power trans-
mission.

But it means much more to
Canadian industry. It means a
_ world-wide fund of data for the
‘Goodyear men who advise with
you on belting problems. It
means that the cotton spinners
of Lancashire, the silk manu-
facturers of Lyons, the steel
plants of Sweden, the ship-

yards of Seattle, the flour mills ~

of the far East—all will con-
‘tribute their experience to

MADE CAN CANADA

help solve power problems in
Canada.

In order to meet world-wide
market conditions it has been
necessary to change some of
the familiar Goodyear’ brand
names—but the change is in
name only.

For example, Goodyear Extra
Power Belt is now Goodyear
Klingtite Belt, and when the
Goodyear belting man speci-

_fies Goodyear Klingtite for a

certain drive you are getting
the old Extra Power 1n every
particular.

Ask any Goodyear branch to send a
man who is making transmission prob-
lems his special study. No obligation.

STERLING

lempering

In the Atkins factory the tempering
of Sterling Quality Saws is not done
by craitsmen who pose as “‘wizards.”’

It is done by experts who work on
information supplied by the labora-
tory and the latest devices for making
accurate physical tests.

For this reason you will find A thins
Sterling Quality Saws uniformly
tough, hence they will cut and do
good work for a longer time with-
out refitting than any other saws
made.

Dust and Shavngs —
Increase Fire Risk

Peri G MILL people are well aware —

~

of the constant and real menace of

the dust explosion, which frequently
results in the complete destruction of the —
mill, and in great loss of life.

Adequate fearing against this hazard
can be secured only by a successful dust-
collecting system.

" ooicent
‘aN 4s Aa) owt For efficient operation the best arrange-
1 "eee i noe | - ment is an installation of

<l

'

Planing Mill Exhausters.

_ The powerful suction created by these
exhausters, draws the dust and shavin
right from the very edge of the cutting too
and bears it away with lightning speed to the
boiler room, or some other outside point.

A Sturtevant Planing Mill System keeps
the work nice and clean at all times—it
allows no refuse to gather and form a fire
risk — and prevents all litter which might
work into the machines. .

Write for Special Bulletin No. 261-C which explains the
benefits of Sturtevant Planing Mill Systems now used in many
Canadian Mills. ,

| ‘The Algoma Range

A Steel Range for Camp use. Built especially for this
purpose. It possesses features that are attractive in useful-
ness but not in beauty. A blunt, hardy Range with a won-
derful record for Service.

The Algoma is built in three sizes—each one has the
three necessities,—

(1) An Oven of ample capacity;
(2).A cooking surface, open and capacious;
(3) A Firebox, big yet economical.

The Body and Oven are made of Steel that will last.
Each piece of'steel is solidly rivetted to the other. Great care
is exercised to ensure the complete rigidity of the entire con-
struction.

*

The cooking surface is cast-iron, solid and thick; there-
fore the heat barely affects it. There are a variety of sec-
tions.

The Firebox is lined with weighty pieces of. cast-iron.
_ Strenuous usage may wear these linings away—when this
_ happens, re is easy and the Firebox is made as good
as new.

The Gates are the duplex pattern—two bars, each heavy
and perfectly made. Simply operated with one shaker bar.

The Camp Comfort

A heater that radiates direct heat from the body when
burning wod. Simple, effective and efficient. The body is
filled with wood and paper the light applied and the heater is
operating.

The Lumberman’s comfort in cold days and nights. Heat
radiates in all directions from the round steel body. In the
coolest weather the atmosphere around the Heater is com-
fortably warm.

The “Camp Comfort” is built of well tested materials that
can withstand rough usage. The two ends are heavy cast-
iron and the door is so large that huge chunks of wood can
be fed to the Heater with ease.

The body sits on four cast-iron legs which fit into rigid
cleats. Side or top shelves are supplied and are very con-
venient for temporary use in keeping foodstuffs and liquids
at a high temperature.

The “Camp Comfort” is a Camp Heater. It is simply
made. It produces the required results—See it.

McCLARY’S ability to make “Good Stoves and Cooking Utensils”

is recognized by all users. Seventy-three years solid experience in

‘ the manufacture of Stoves gives us the machinery and skilled man
power to produce highly specialized articles. These two Stoves are
good samples of our best Foundry productions.

The Standard Edger shown here will pay for itself in the saving of material.

It is a sturdy machine, powerfully constructed to meet the heavy demands required of it. The side frames
are extremely heavy to insure the machine being kept rigid while it also gives perfect alignment to the arbor.

The rolls, saws, arbor, arbor bearings and saw shifting device are all thoroughly dependable and in every :
respect up to the “Long” standard of efficiency.
With this machine we supply a front table complete ready for operating with rolls, boxes, shifting levers, +
quadrant, wrenches, etc., also three rolls with boxes for rear table. |

Kendall Nigger

"The “WATEROUS KENDALL NIGGER” over-
| comes the greatest drawback experienced in the
‘e: __ ordinary steam nigger—the chance of accident un-
- less operated by an expert.

Where the carriage is of medium weight, unless in
the hands of an experienced man, the danger of
~ wrecking the carriage is especially great.

The “WATEROUS KENDALL NIGGER’ is prac-
Eka accident-proof. While it possesses both the
_ speed and power of the ordinary Steam Nigger, it
_is so designed that a green operator can do quick
" and effective work without endangering the carriage
vin any way.

ay a attaching the Nigger Bar to one cylinder only,
a acONE. ‘motion of the operating lever turns the log and
a qu ite distinct and separate motion is required to
nee “Toa : it. :
4 ‘The stroke of the cylinder controlling the loading
i ‘motion is made very short and thus further pre-
_ , cludes the possibility of a serious mishap.

The Kendall Nigger is constructed to be power-
ful and rapid in action. The cylinders are 10 in.
tk and 8 in. in diameter, pistons are steam. cush-
-___ tioned at both ends of stroke, valves are adjust-
able to permit increase or decrease of operating
' speed without affecting the power in the machine.

' Nigger Bar is of wrought iron, dogs are extra
wide, top dog is winged, a steel roller is supplied.
No floor plate is necessary. All lever and crank

_ connections are made short and direct, so that .
the ‘machine, gives instant. response to the move-
ments of: the sawyer’s lever.

i reat many of the Niggers are already in use in
‘mills, where speed and accuracy on the log deck are
_ essential, but where a medium weight carriage is,
rated. If your conditions are similar the
Ee. WATEROUS KENDALL NIGGER will give un-
galled satisfaction.

Whether you contemplate building new or repairing the old mill, it
would pay you to investigate the merits of our Friction Feed Works
which overcomes the trouble experienced with the ordinary friction.

While it possesses the speed and power of the steam feed, it can be
operated by anyone without danger of accident.

We are now building this machine in two sizes and can supply you
with a size that will meet your requirements.

How to Reduce Costs
of Building

Buy our “Utility” grades of Siding (made
in Sitka Pine or Fir), and Flooring (Fir only).
They effect a 20% saving. They satisfy the
contractor because no extra labor cost is
necessary and consumers appreciate the re-
ceipt of maximum value for their dollar. If
you have not. used “Utility” grades, write us
—no others produce them.

A Simmons Double Deck Steel Bunk

The construction is boltless. The top and bottom frames are
complete units, strongly riveted. The upper and lower frames lock
securely in the posts and are reinforced by interlocking braces.
The “Knock-down” Construction is much appreciated, as a com-
plete bunk-house or bunk-car of Simmons equipment can be
taken down, moved, or placed in storage on short notice.

The standard Steel Sleeping Equipment manufactured
and supplied by Simmons Limited is fast supplanting old-
fashioned unsanitary and uncomfortable wooden beds, be-
cause it is more efficient from every point of view. Sim-
mons Bunks are built for sleep and therefore keep workers
in good health and contented.

Simmons Bunks: are built to stand hard usage. They
cannot be injured or damaged, or used for fuel, intention-
ally or otherwise. They are 100% sanitary. Water will
not injure them. Camps or cars in which they are used can
be thoroughly scrubbed or fumigated without removing
the bunks. As they give the same service season after sea-
son, expensive replacements are unknown.

Beas: ‘Watchman— What of the Future P

The old cry of “Watchman! What of the night?” has, by the
f events and the logic of circumstances, been converted into
more immediate and pressing one of “Watchman! What of the
future “ii This question is being asked not only with respect to the
_aims and operation of labor, but also in relation to transporta-
, tariff 1 revision, production and consumption and the rise and fall
' various Eriabdities. Much has been heard recently regarding
ak prices” being reached in all lines, both luxuries and necessi-
id there has been a general disposition to curtail production
bt load stocks. This has created a falling market in numerous
modities and temporarily dislodged things at a time when more
ty is desired and a firmer grip and grasp of oo was being
d for.

ne

these days, all prophecies are being upset and all theories
ed. It has been declared that high prices of lumber have had
rent effect upon building operations, although the relative in-
in outlay for the wood used in the construction of a modern
is small when compared with expenditures for labor, and the
in brick, plumbing, hardware, and other requisites. Still
enient and does not require much mental effort to lay

~ larly on imported stocks of white and red oak, gum, southern pine and

other woods.
A falling market is practically of no benefit to any interest; it
upsets the whole tenor of events and creates uncertainties that cause
would-be purchasers, who really need material, to hold aloof, believ-
ing.that, on the morrow they will be able to purchase more cheaply.
When the morrow arrives they postpone action until the next day,
and the next. This state continues, undermining ordinary business
and resulting in small sales and isolated transactions.

On the other hand, a rising market, or one where values are firmly
maintained, gives strength and stimulus to the industry generally.
Considering that producing costs are very high and that the demand
after the first of the year, both at home and abroad, is likely to be
active, by reason of an aggressive building campaign, which can no
longer be delayed, there is every likelihood of 1921 being a good, all-
round year in the lumber line, with the ups and downs of prices
largely eliminated, conditions more settled and the foundation on
which industrial prosperity rests, more firmly established than at any
period since 1914.

There are no pessimists in the lumber trade today. There may
be a few “doubting Thomases,” but the current of feeling and opinion
indicates that matters will right themselves in the near future. Now
that the ascending scale of quotations on every necessity of life seems
industrial unrest should largely disappear,
while the number, who are seeking work, will increase to such an ex-
tent as to make those already engaged, more anxious to hold on to
what they have and produce. The output has for a number of years
been far short of what ordinary manual labor turned out both indi-
vidually and collectively in every line during ante-bellum days. The
agitation of labor in the past has been a perturbing element, but, with
a reversal of conditions, whereby the market becomes an employers’
rather than that of employees’, a more sane and progressive era should
be ushered in.

With the abundant harvest of the past year, and the prospects
of a revival of business abroad, there seems little to fear but that 1921
will be a satisfactory one in the history of Canadian lumber activities,
unless all signs are amiss and the future contains some development
not foreseen by those who have given the closest thought and most
diligent study to our economic, social, productive and
problems and outlook.

“Flow Lumber is Graded,” Department Circular No. 64, obtain-
able from Department of Agriculture, Washington, has been pre-
pared by the Forestry Service. The publication states that grading
has been one of the mysteries of the lumber business. Years of ex-
perience are required, it says, before one can become proficient ines
grading lumber even of a rather restricted range of species, and very
often an expert in grading under one set of rules knows little of the
rules used for other species and other parts of the country. The pub-

lication gives in a few pages the essentials of nearly all the grading ty
It is pointed out that “the?

rules now in use in the United States.
grading rules in general use at present, with very few exceptions,
have to do only with defects and do not take into account the quality ,
af the wood itself. That is, if two boards of the same species

are clear or if they have similar defects, both boards are placed in the _

same grade regardless of the quality of the wood itself. As a matter
of fact, the wood in one board may be dense, heavy, and strong and

the wood in the other light and weak. For some purposes, stich ase 74
siding, ceiling, or finish, it may not matter whether dense or light
wood is used; but for other purposes, such as vehicle parts, struc- S

tural timber, or flooring, where strength or hardness is a prime
requisite, the wood must be dense to give saitsfactory service.” The
Forest Service has for some time aquetied the adoption of the
“density” rule for the grading of lumber in which strength is a re-
quirement. Two of the largest lumber associations have adopted
this rule. It “requires a proportion of one-third summer-wood (the
hard, dark- colored part of the annual ring) in the cross section and
at least six annual rings Ber inch, and disregards botanical distine-
tions in the southern pines.”

in CANADA LUMBERMAN AND

_ Square or Thousand ?—Dealers Discuss Issu
New Method of Packing and Selling Shingles Considered from Many Standpoints—
What Representative Lumbermen Say For and Against New Unit ,

. The adoption of the “square”.as the packing and sales unit for
red cedar shingles was announced some months ago by the Shingle
Branch, West Coast Lumbermen’s Association. ‘The ttew method
went into effect on April Ist, and it was stated that shingles would
be packed so that each unit bundle would contain a quantity sufficient
t» cover 100 square feet, and the square would be the sales unit.

It was asserted at the time that the change in un‘t from the
thousand to the square was made because a careful survey of the
retail lumber yards had shown conclusively that such an alteration
would be in the interest of better merchandising and would be a
worth-while proposition. It was announced that the reasons for the
change were that the square is a unit readily understood by all and
the thousand unit is not; that the square unit simplified computa-
tions appreciably and the thousand unit complicated computation.

Other reasons given were: “The ‘square’ unit complies with all
weights and measures statutes. The ‘thousand’ unit does not. The
‘square’ unit for shingles provides a just and direct basis for price
comparison with other types of roofing. The ‘thousand’ unit does
not.

“The price of shingles per ‘square’ is appreciably less than the
price per ‘thousand’—a very desirable thing from a merchandising

; “The price per ‘square’ furnishes a direct comparison of value of
16 inch and 18 inch shingles, not shown by the ‘thousand’ unit.”

Irregularities of Roof Surfaces

Leaflets were also sent out some months ago, emphasizing cer-
tain other features, among them being:

“To the retail dealer the ‘square’ unit means that, if you are or
have been selling shingles bythe thousand at $10.00 you can sell a
‘square’ of shingles for $8.80, and make precisely the same profit.

“The standard ‘square’ unit for 16 inch shingles guarantees a
The standard ‘square’ unit for 18 inch

shingles guarantees a lineage of 2,664 inches. If the pitch of the

-roof is so unusually steep that the shingles can advantageously be

laid an additional half-inch to the weather, all the dealer or contract-
or need do in estimating volume required, is to figure number of
squares in roof, then deduct 10 per cent. |

“Every contractor or carpenter knows that irregularities of roof
surface cause a certain amount of waste of roofing material, and esti-
mate quantity roofing required accordingly, but a unit covering
should be based on a ‘regular’ surface. A dressmaker or tailor al-
ways figures a certain waste of material in ‘cutting’ and estimates ac-

E cordingly.

“The manufacturers feel certain that in changing to the ‘square’

unit, they are making a progressive step, that will ‘be approved by a

hig majority of the retail dealers, and that small proportion of

_ dealers who may not at first be inclined to favor this change, will

favor the move strongly after they have given the merits of the pro-
position full consideration.”
, Has Simplified Shingle Selling

- Writing to the Toronto office of a B. C. lumber firm who special-
ize in shingles, the Secretary of the Shingle Branch West Coast

-Lumbermen’s Association, says. :

The best thing that can be said about any proposition is that it
works, or as the old adage goes, “There’s nothing that succeeds like
success.”

I have yet to hear of a complaint from a retail dealer who has
sympathetically tried out the sale of shingles packed by the square
Such dealers report absolutely no trouble with the new unit
—say that it has simplified their shingle selling—and that their cus-

’ tomers like it.

When a retailer tells his trade that they guarantee four bundles
of square-packed shingles to cover 100 square feet of surface when
packed according to the standard weather exposure, and if they

-won’t do it that the dealer will make good any shortage, there is

nothing left to understand, and both the dealer and consumer are
getting a measure of protection they were not afforded under the
old thousand unit. Because if the old thousand unit. was short
count, nobody had any way of checking up to see whether it was
short or not.

Frequently the objection has been offered that if the shingles

‘square unit can’t be just as satisfactorily introduced into Canada as

Eventuality of the Square Unit _
Here is another point that | am rather surprised that the
ish Columbia shingle manufacturers have not jumped at—that i
shingle manufacturer who packs his shingles in a careless or sl
ly manner simply can’t “get by” on the square basis without getting
into trouble, because his shingles won’t hold out in count. But with
a 100 per cent. serviceable shingle such as the B. C. mills make, they
would have no trouble from this source. In other words the square

they would certainly not want to find themselves on the wrong side
of the fence. But it is not going to fall. The demand right t iy
is fully one-third greater than the supply of square packed shingles.
I can’t believe that human nature is very different, whether such —

Double standard all will agree is not desirable. One thing is
certain—the square unit has come to stay. Therefore, the only logi- —
cal thing to happen is for the thousand unit to go into the discard.
And this very thing is bound to happen within the next year or two.
What Ontario Lumber Dealers Say x
With a view to learning how the new method of packing was
catching on in Ontario and how customers looked upon the change, —
the “Canada Lumberman” recently obtained opinions from repre-_
sentative dealers in all parts of the province. The question was ask-
ed if the “square” unit for packing and selling red cedar shingles had —
“caught on” and if customers called for the square in preference tu —
the thousand. It was also asked what advantages, if any, the square _
possessed and what were the objections raised to it) —.
Many replies have been received and they are published with-
out comment. he
_ W. G. Gorvett, of Arthur, says that for his trade he wants _
shinngles packed by the M and he has no desire to educate the far-
mers to a new fad as it looks to them as though they had to pay
more. “In this part of the country they lay shingles 5 in. to the
weather. If a customer wants to lay the shingles 414 in. to the
weather, we sell him 34 of a M or 3 bunches, and if he lays 5 in. tu
the weather, we add 1/9, which will lay 10 ft, square, As you know,
- shingles make a square laid 5 in. to the weather,” concludes Mr._
orvett. OS i ee eee
Ament Bros., of Brussels, say they have never handled shingles
by the square and are not in a position to give an opinion on the —
same. They have always sold their shingles by the M.

as oe

N. Cluff & Sons, of Seaforth—We have not handled any shingles —
packed in squares and since you have been kind enough to ask our
opinion on the subject, we must say that we do not favor it at all.
At present we buy our shingles by the thousand and sell them as
three bunches a square. The three bunches are supposed to lay
more than a square, but experience teaches us that at 5 in. t
weather, they barely lay out; consequently, we think that if
dealer wants to sell his shingles by the square he can do so wi
the present thousand pack. etry:

James M. McBride & Son, St. Catharines: We have had two
cars packed by the square and do not intend to handle any more as
long as we can buy a first class XXX shingle packed by the M. In
the Niagara district 16 in. shingles have always been sold as three —
bunches to the square laid 5 in. to the weather. We ‘found by the >
new pack that we had to spend too much time exvlaining it to our —

ad to figure out how mea bunches laid 5 in. it
to cover the space required for each order, whereas by
M pack an order for 10 squares, thirty bunches were sent and
c tomer knew what he was getting. You would have to handle
unches new packing to 6 bunches old packing and if you follow
te tra bunch from the car until it gets on the roof you will find
ait has cost not less than 10 cts. and the mill have also charged for
kit ng and handling that extra bunch. lt does not take many smali
to add nee 00 to the cost of a home.

oncerned we will not buy any more shingles that are not packed
il way of 250 to the bunch. The advantage of selling
yy the square is that all other roofing is sold by the square
es: being sold by the thousand the buyer gets confused and
a thousand shingles (four bunches) is only equal to a

Too Much Loose

A. J. Grant, Cayuga: I have read considerable about the new
idea of packing shingles in squares and as all other roofings are sold
that way, I think it is a good idea, provided all the manufacturers
would agree to it. [ have not bought any packed in square yet but
have been selling by the square for four or five years, giving three
bunches for a square. The reason is this, that most people got it
into their heads that a thousand shingles only covered a square, and
all the hardware dealers told them that was right, and quoted their
price on a square of roofing shingles, or ready roofing against price
per thousand shingles, showing the roofing to be the cheapest. I have
nothing to suggest further than that they either pack them in three.
or four bunches to the square and make their bands to suit. The only

Shingle Packing

complaint I have about shingles, is that there is too much loose pack-

ing done by some firms making shingles, which prevents them, from
holding out, and the buyer usually comes back at the dealer, with a
complaint and expects him to make good the shortage.

J. A. Laberge, Sudbury, says, “Personally we would rather handle
shingles by the square but have not handled any as yet packed by
this method so cannot speak for the general public. The main reasons
we would like to see shingles sold by the square are that all other
forms of roofing are disposed of on the square basis.”

The Berhalter Lumber Co., Thorold, Ont.. “We prefer the old
method of packing. There is no reason for changing in our district.”

McCabe Bros., Tottenham, Ont.: “We are not handling shingles
this year and have not had any opportunity of getting the opinions ot
people in our district.”

Davis & Doty, Oakville: “We much prefer shingles packed in %
thousand bundles and have had no call for the square.”

Sells Three Bunches to Square

J. B. Mackenzie, Georgetown: “We have not handled any
square-packed as yet and will not as long as we can buy shingles by
the thousand packed. We sell all shingles here per square, 3 bunches
to a square. As they are laid 5 in. to the weather, the 3 bundles
cover 100 square feet. To introduce the new packing, would result in
a lot of explanation without any advantage either to the customer
or to the retail lumber dealer.” ;

The Ball Planing’ Mills, Barrie: “There was a_ time when
it was impossible to get wood shingles from the Coast and we were ©
forced, much against our will, to adopt the Brantford slates in their
place. We now find that it is very hard to sell wood shingles. Every- _
one is after the Brantford slates on account of their fine appearance.
We have not bought any shingles. on the square basis, only by the
thousand, but in any event we ‘think that it is going to be very diffi-
cult to sell wood shingles on either the square or thousand basis.”

M. Bristol, Madoc: “I never bought any shingles by the square
and do not really know the advantage or disadvantage. I have al-

ways bought them by the thousand and have no complaint to make.”

Old Way Good Enough for Him

Eugene Murphy, Mount Forest: “I have been very much in-—
terested in the discussion of the new packing
packing per thousand, but I am more satisfied with the old packing

by the M. I have seen the new packing but never bought any nor _
do I intend to so long as I can get the old packing, which I find sat- —
isfactory.”

C. S. Coates, of A. Coates & Sons, Burlington: ‘Personally I |
do not see the point for changing. We have never handled shingles
packed by the square and have always sold those by the thousand, ]

‘which we find works out satisfactorily.”

“We have just received a car of red |

Gill & Fortune, Trenton:

J. A. Matthews, Orangeville. “The square packing does not
suit in this district. We have been selling three bunches to the M. |
packed to allow a square of 5 in. to the weather, and it works out
about right. Most of the people in this district lay shingles 5 in.
to the weather, and the square-packed puts that rule all out as they do.

Guelph Lumber Co., Guelph, J. A, Harrison, manager: “Re-
specting packing and selling B. C. shingles by the square, we firid in
this district that people have always bought by the square, that is 3

particular reason, namely, many places sell by the 1000, 4 bundles,
whilst others sell by the square, 3 bundles. The general public are
acquainted with these two methods and are satisfied with it.

S. Bennett, Wingham: “I prefer shingles put up in %4 M bund-
les, or still better to my mind it would be preferable to have all
shingles put up in 1% square, that is, two bundles to make one square
or 720 shingles or two bunches.”

Likes Larger Units Best

S. Anglin & Co., Kingston: “Concerning square unit for
Cedar shingles, would say that this unit has never been used in this
city as far as we know. We will not buy shingles put up by the
square as long as we can buy them put up by the 1000. We have
usually considered that we received more shingles for our money
This may be only a matter of chance,
but such has been the case, and we are desirious of giving our cus~
tomers as much as we can for their money. We think the dealers in
the western part of the province are in a better position to express

_an opinion, as this is a matter which particularly affects the western

shingles. We are situated near enough to Quebec and New Bruns-
wick to be able to handle the eastern shingles profitably. As to the
question of units, we are inclined to favor the larger unit and will not
be likely to adopt the smaller unit until it is more generally used.”

The Baker Lumber Co., Lindsay, C. H. Baker, president:
“T would not buy shingles by ‘the square and cannot see any benefit
to be derived from the change. The farmer with whom we do a lot
of business is a hard man to get to understand a change like buy-
ing shingles in squares instead of thousands. In fact, I have handled
shingles for over thirty years and I cannot understand why the mil)
As far as I am con-

cerned I am absolutely opposed to the change.”

square we consider that we would be giving the customer exactly
what we are selling him, the same as paroid roofing. To our opin-
ion so far we consider packed by the square are more satisfactory.’

square method. My customers have not called for the square pack-
ing in preference to the M. So far there is but little evidence that
the square is going to supercede the M and, therefore, it has been

given but little consideration. In any case the advantage would not

be great and there would. be confusion in the transition, as it would

be impossible to state the stock on hand which is an M at a stroke.
There would be a like difficulty attending to the bringing in of the

-new stock. Unless all manufacturers see fit to put up shingles in

squares, the change for which does not appear to be urgent and for

i which there is, apparently, no great inducement, I do not think

In the spring of 1919, the writer proposed, for the second time, to
directors of the Saint Maurice Forest Protective Asscciation the
of aircraft for forest fire patrol and asked the department of naval
for the loan of two seaplanes, from a number of Curtiss HS2L
which had been turned over to the Canadian Government by the
ited States army. After some negotiations, a contract was signed
ween the department and the association and the two planes were
ad been engaged as a pilot. This trip was in itself quite a feat
nd, at that time, was the longest overland flight made by seaplanes
in Canada.

_ The planes arrived at Grand Mere on June 29 and commenced
patrol work, but the fire season was practically over, only three or four
‘being teported after that date, and of these the planes saw all.
n it was realized that there was very little to be done in the way
re patrol, an effort was made to get an aerial camera, but owing
trikes and other difficulties this was not obtained until September,
from then till the 1st of November about 400 photographs were

en. In addition to this, officials of various companies were taken

ral reconnaissance trips over timbered areas were made.

_ The result of the work was not satisfactory to the Fire Protective
A ssoci tion, which decided that the cost of using the planes for patrol
alone was too high, and that the carrying of passengers and taking of
yp graphs was outside of its regular line of work. However, the
tt! ntide Company, Ltd., had been so well satisfied with the work
t it requested the association to turn over the planes, and this, with
consent of the department of naval affairs, was done. The writer

Explorers were taken over territory which was offered for sale,
and of which there were no maps. The observer sketched in the
burns, timbered areas and other information, and at the same time
got a very good idea of the country as a whole. Then, taking his
sketch maps, he went in on the ground and estimated the timbered
areas, saving much time which would have been wasted in locating
the burnt areas. In one trip a reconnaissance of about four hundred
square miles was made. The logging manager made several trips
of this kind and with his sketch maps and his birdseye view of the
country was able to lay out and direct the work of his explorers.
Several flights were made to note the progress of drives, and it was
very easy to see just how the work was progressing and whether
the streams were being swept clean or not. In one case a large
number of rollways of logs were discovered and photographed, which
had been left in the woods the previous season. Trips were also made
to look over and estimate the number of logs in the sorting booms
so that the time and number of men required to saw so as to finish
before the winter, could be determined. The logging manager and
his superintendents were taken to and from distant points of their
work and much valuable time saved. Zz

Lands for Planting Photographed.

One of the most valuablé parts of the work was photographed
lands which are to be purchased for planting. A complete dictionary
of these lands was made, and as the photos give every detail and
are of great value. Lot lines, buildings, fences, ditches, roads and
the areas of different kinds of land all show plainly. Even the char-
acter of the soil can be seen. The areas in cleared land, swamp,
burn, scrub timber and good timber can be easily measured with a
planimeter and the exact value of the land determined. A scale of
prices for the different kinds and qualities of land is determined and |
all lands are bought by it: The seller and the purchaser can sit down |
over an aerial photo and make a trade much better than in any other
way for they have all the details before them.

In planning all kinds of engineering work, laying out roads,
ditches for drainage, areas to be planted and so forth, the photos
are of the greatest assistance, and by taking a series the progress ~
of the work can be checked much more rapidly than by ground meas-
urements. The areas cut over in a logging operation can be checked _
on the photo, the roads can be seen, areas left uncut be determined,
and the general efficiency of the work judged.

The general results from the work promise well, and the Lauren-
tide Company has decided to make aerial work part of its operations. |
Permanent hangars are being built, together with houses for the per- |
sonnel, and shops for the care of repair work.

Cost of Work Not Excessive

The cost of the work, as carried on experimentally, has not been
excessive, and as it becomes standardized, can be materially reduced. —
The main thing is to have the machines in the air as much as is pos- —
sible so as to cut down the unit costs of the work. The cost per mile
works out at about $3 per mile and the cost of photographs at about
2.6 cents per acre. This is based on the use of the HS2L seaplanes, |
which use about 25 gallons of gas per hour and are slow climbers. |
Also there are many items of expense which are incident to beginning |
the work and which will be eliminated later when more experience |)
has been gained. We

Seaplane Type Satisfactory.

The following general conclusions can be drawn from the experi- —
ence gained thus far. For work in country where there are many —
lakes, the seaplane is the best type of machine. The float type has —
not proved satisfactory, as the floats are very fragile and easily be- —
come waterlogged. The seaplane is structurally strong and rugged
and will stand much harder usage. It presents fairly stable platform
for acamera. The type we are using is ideal from every point of view
except cost-of operation, and we have purchased a Curtiss “Sea Gull”
for patrol work, passenger carrying and photography. The larger
machines will be used for carrying provisions, large parties and fire-
fighting apparatus:

them for seaplane work. Only the highest type of men should be
employed, both as pilots, mechanics and riggers, as men of a lower

_ type are likely to have a lower sense of the responsibility and import-

ance of their work. Men who are reckless or who drink should never
be employed.

Rigid inspection before flights are absolutely essential and no
machine should ever go up if there is the slightest doubt about it be-
ing in perfect flying condition. The amounts invested are large and
the loss of a machine is a serious matter, even leaving out of account

the risk to the personnel.

Small sick Valuable Machine.

The development of the “poppy blimp” or small dirigible, opens
a new line of development which is very promising. With speed of
45 miles per hour and a wide cruising radius, it uses only three gallons
of gas per hour and has a greater carrying capacity than a plane. As
it can be stopped in the air at almost any altitude, it offers an ideal

- means of timber cruising and mapping and for carrying fire-fighters

and equipment and also supplies for survey parties and logging camps.
If the risk of fire is not great and the cost of plant for charging with

gas not too expensive, it will be an ideal adjunct to forestry and log-
_ ging work.

It will also do away with what in the northeastern pact
of the continent is a great drawback to aerial work—the inability to
fly in water. It may be that we shall be able to make winter flying
practical, but so far it is out of the question with planes on account
of the low temperatures and meee snows which we have in eastern
Canada.

I feel that aerial transportation and photography have come to
stay and that with careful, well-thought-out development, will prove
invaluable in the management and exploitation of large timber hold-
ings. Weare constantly trying to study out new ideas for the planes
and the camera and are sure that their field of usefulness will become
ever larger and more important.

To sum up the results so far obtained, for carrying men, whose
time is valuable, to distant parts of the work, the planes are most
useful. The manager of a company with large woods interests get
tied down to his office and mill work, and a trip into the woods con-
sumes so much time that he does not like to take it. The same is

becoming increasingly true of logging managers and superintendents.

They do. not like the ‘hardships of long journeys into the woods and
being out of touch with their general work for days at a time. With
the planes, the most distant operations can be visited and the work
inspected with only one night away from home. Local foremen in
the woods will be kept up to their work much better. In case of acci-

dents, doctors can be rapidly taken into the woods and injured men

figures, a consolidated report on costs and methods of the trucking

branch of the logging industry would be both interesting and instruc-
As this method of logging is, however, in its infancy, informa-
tion for such a statement is not available and I am going to confine

to the cost figures given later.

Our works are located midway between Snohomish and Monroe,
Wash., on the paved highway, the distance being about four and one-
half miles from each place. When we opened up the operation the

timber extended back from the pavement a little more than a mile
and for the first six months of 1920 we have been working on the

back end of the tract. We dump in the Snohomish River near Sno-
homish, and while our present haul is actually ten miles round trip,
in our cost accounting we use nine miles as the distance, that being
a general average for the entire tract. Our timber is small second
We have no camps.
Members of our crew live in Monroe, carry their lunch and travel
to and from the timber on the trucks. This has worked out in a very

satisfactory way from a standpoint of economy and has given us

an unusually permanent crew.

The following cost figures taken from the summarized cost sheets
of our company for the first six months of 1920, show the cost, of
taking the logs from the spar trees, an average distance of five miles
to the dumping point. This five miles is made up of four miles of

- pavement and about one mile of road of our construction:

Analysis of Cost Items.

ik Referring to the repair and incidental account, which shows a
cost of .681 cents per 1000 feet for the six-month period, I find from
records that this item over the entire operation from April, 1918,
ws an average cost of .625 cents, and for the purpose of segrega-
1 under its various heads, I can best use the figure for the longer
iod. The four headings under this account are repairs, tires, state
ses, insurance and accidents, and are set up as follows:

‘he repair item is considerably higher than it should be because
of our trucks are not suitable for the work. They were used
ucks when purchased and have given considerable trouble. The
airs run from two to six times higher than on the other three
trucks, which were new when purchased. I cannot recommend sec-
ond-hand trucks for logging.
- You will note that the tire cost is less than the license cost.
Ee The load limit on the pavement on the particular stretch over -
Vv ich we are hauling is 2400 feet, and working against this limit, the
average we were able to maintain over the six-month period was 2061
feet. Had we been working entirely on roads of our own construction
or where there was no limit, we could easily have averaged 3000 to
3 00 feet, which would have resulted in a material lowering of trans-
portation cost.
I do not favor extreme heavy loading as a regular programme. A
good honest load, -proportionate to the equipment in use, one that
handles easily and loads and unloads quickly, will make more money
‘and wear out less equipment on the average log truck haul. Equip-
nt and roads, however, should be figured to handle extreme loads
hen necessary. |
_ Reducing our transportation cost of $4.01 per 1000 feet to a per
feet per mile basis, we find under this light load limit that the
t is 38 cents. This takes into consideration the mileage to and
om town. One can readily see a considerable reduction in the per
e cost on this haul were the loads are 50 to 100 percent. heavier.

/

Construction of Road.

‘Taking up the question of road construction, we have been using
nerally accepted type of road, viz., cross ties with planked runs
sheer logs. In our case, instead of using plank we used hewn
ers. Our specifications called for cross ties ten feet apart and
30 inches in width, 36 inches apart, with not less than eight
inches of thickness where runs rest on the cross ties. “This gave us
a road.on which we have no upkeep account. We found it advisable
as far as possible, to use three lengths for side or sheer logs, using
, 12 to 18 inches in diameter on the stump. They were more easily
in place and gave no trouble at all. I believe this type of road is
“most practical and in the long run the most economical where
juantity of timber is to be moved.
Cost on this road averaged $150. per station, and in view of the
fact that we had comparatively easy grading, I have always felt that
.. e could do it for considerably less if we were doing it again. I would
ot, however, recommend sacrificing strength to make any saving on
figure. On an operation of a size sufficient to warrant, I believe
small portable mill on a sled would be economy in getting out
1 for road construction, and I would then favor using more
oss ties, and six-inch planking for the runs, planking, in solid on
sharper curves. .
e matter of traction on roads of this construction is a problem
rades of any consequence. In our case, on account of going onto
ivement, we cannot use chains or cable on the wheels but have
largely overcome the difficulty on grades up to 10 and 12 per cent. by
i¢ down cast-off three-eighths to seven-eighths-inch cable, back
th across the runs. We have not found it necessary to use
eperond 10 to 12 per cent. except on the incline, and I am not
red to say what would be practical beyond this. We tried sand,
gravel and clinkers with indifferent success. The cable stapled
as above has, however, defeated the trouble for us.
lot having used extreme grades, we have not equipped our
rs with brakes. On 600 or 700 feet of 9 per cent. grade running
o the head of the incline, where loads have to stop at a given
to hook onto the incline line, we had some trouble in wet
ather, but an endless cable working on the ground through blocks
t the line ‘passes through a bite of sufficient sharpness to give
cessary snubbing power, nicely, defeated this. A short cable

on the trailer axle provides a handy method of hooking on.

This is a camp used only as one of the drive camps in connection with the:

The camp is made from cull lumber. It will be noticed ‘that each
man has a single iron bedstead.

This arrangement. will successfully snub loads on any grade that
the truck can climb light, over road that is comparatively straight.
Traction Problem Discussed. ye
On roads where chains or cable may be used on the wheels much
better traction-is given and braking power may be more safely ap-
plied. While I have given no study to the details, | see no reason
why air brakes would not be practical. However, applied braking
power is directly related to traction and it would seem to me that the
big problem is traction. This is perhaps more acute on the trailer
than on the truck proper where the driving power gives a traction
advantage. The trailer carrying 60 to 70 per cent. of the load is the
logical place to do the heaviest braking, but on planked or timbered
roads, with no driving power on the wheels, even though they are ~ |
chained or cabled, the braking possibilities are limited and brakes _
must be used with caution. While I have no definite data on the sub-
ject, I understand that the application of power to the trailer wheels |
is not a remote possibility. wt
The pneumatic truck tire no doubt gives considerably better trac- _
tion and is easier on the equipment, but from the best information lL

practical or economical in logging. We have, however, had no experi-
ence in its use on trucks.
The present-day truck logger finds himself in ver y much the» }
same position as the logger‘of only a few years back, who was bring-
ing logs out of the woods with a one-drum donkey, using a horse
to drag the line back. He is pioneering, but, I believe, pioneering in
a field that has a relation of growing importance to the logging indus-—
try. The old one-drum donkey got logs out after a fashion. The —
motor truck does the same, but there is room for just as much im-
provement in the logging truck as has been made in the donkey
engine. ee
This is not a criticism. I take off my hat to the truck manu- —
facturers. They have made most amazing strides in building up truck |
stability and efficiency. Their field, however,.is so large that, they —
have not yet taken advantage of the opportunity to build a truck |
adapted to logging. whi
The logging industry in all its departments calls for special equip-_
ment of special construction and strength, and while the results ob-
tained from the use of the general utility truck have been most grati- |
fying, the field is still open and I have no doubt that the problem of |)
.gging will be taken up in a more comprehensive way by truck
iianufacturers.

Efficient Loading of Trucks.

Where road conditions will allow, 3000 to 4000 feet is about the |
average load. Thirty to 40 per cent. of this load rides on the truck
and 60 to 70 per cent. on the trailer. Where the load contains logs
as long as 40 feet the trailer is back 22 to 24 feet and still has to carry
an overhanging load around 10 feet in length. This is obviously an
awkward load to handle. We have the principle of hitching the team
to the end of the wagon tongue. It is a difficult load to keep on roads
of narrow construction and is next to impossible if the trailer leads off
the road or gets into a bad place.

‘This percentage of load on a trailer with two wheels is hard on
roads of any construction. The overhang has a sufficient leverage

over the trailer to give the truck a fluctuating load with consequent
loss of traction in heavy pulls and not a little damage to the truck,

With the cab, windshield, controls, hood and radiator all above
the level of the truck bunk, the loaders and loading engineer have to
use unusual precautions in putting on a load. This results in a ma-
terial loss of time and even their best efforts in this connection cannot
prevent expensive breakage that adds to the lost time.

Where loads are being taken from the pile under a spar it is un-
safe for the truck driver to remain in his seat, and the advantage of
moving the truck forward and backward to suit the convenience of
the loaders is lost.

Success in truck logging is wholly contingent on keeping the
trucks moving, and anything that will speed up loading and unloading
should be given serious consideration both by the logger and the truck
manufacturer.

Operation of Truck and Trailer. '

To this end, I have in mind a truck with not superstructure of
any kind—all as ‘clear above deck as a flat car. This permits the trailer
to be brought up closer to the truck or allows the shortening of the
truck: unit ‘itself if that would be more desirable. It makes possible
the proper apportioning of the load between the truck ‘and trailer,
giving better driving traction to the truck, and making the trailer less
a drag and more an actual part of the unit. The loading would be
easier and much faster. I believe the loads could be put on in half
The constant source of worry and expense- smashed
cabs and broken controls—would be eliminated.

This change would not usually call for any lowering of the en-
gine, merély a lowering of the rad‘ator and hood and possibly the
placing of proper g cuards to protect the engine. I have talked with a

number of mechanics on the problem of placing the controls and driv-

er’s seat out in front or to one side of the radiator and low enough so
they are below the load level, and all agree that this could be worked
out without materially adding to the expense of the equipment.

The bunk on the truck would still remain approximately over the
rear axle but if necessary could be built somewhat higher than it is
to give proper clearance at the front end. In hauling poles, piling or
logs longer than usual one can readily see possibilities under an ar-
rangement along these lines.. With the controls out in front low
enough to be out of danger, the driver can keep his motor running
and in moving his truck to suit the convenience of the loaders give
material assistance, first in properly putting on the load and next in
putting it on in the least possible time.

No doubt there are weak points in this suggestion from a me-
chanical angle, but making the weak points strong is the fun we get
out of the game, and the ‘idea worked out to a successful conclusion
will be another step toward making motor truck logging an important
and successful branch of the logging industry.

: British Industries Fair in 1921

The three fairs, although held in different cities (London, Glas-

gow and Birmingham), are, in reality, only sections of one Fair, and

together constitute the greatest Trade Fair in the world.

The London Fair is directly organized by the Imperial Depart-
ment of Overseas Trade on behalf of the British Board of Trade,

-while the fairs in Birmingham and Glasgow are organized by the

municipalities of the respective cities under the auspices and with the
An important point in the
organization of the three fairs is that they are held practically con-
currently, and that each fair represents a specified group of industries.
No industry is permitted to exhibit at two: fairs, and consequently
the buyer knows that at whichever fair he may be visiting he will

nd the whole range of exhibitors in any particular trade or trades.
Further, by careful arrangement of the dates of the sections it is
made easy for him to visit ‘all three should he wish to do so, for while

the London and Birmingham Fairs run concurrently from the 21st

February to the 4th March, the Glasgow exhibit opens a week later on
the 28th February.

The British Industries Fairs are not exhibitions. They are trade
fairs to which admittance is restricted to bona fide trade buyers seri-
ously interested in the participating trades. Only British manufactur-
ing firms are allowed to exhibit, and no exhibitor is permitted to ex-
The result is
that buy ers who visit the fair know that no articles shown on an ex-
hibitor’s stand can be purchased elsewhere in the fair. Exhibitors
are also able to give proper attention to the buyer, and the buyer is
able to do his business unhampered by crowds of sightseers.

In the last issue ‘of the “Canada Lumberman” there appeared
e interesting observations on the use, economy, service, invest-

essed their views on the problem, many of whom strongly endorse
2 advantages, efficiency and superior facilities afforded by a motor
k over the ordinary equine equipment. Others are not prepared

1 the operation of any retail, lumber yard or planing mill, will be

ae Finds Trailers Decided Advantage.

ai Pp. Abel, Fortin, Limited, Maisonneuve (Montreal), Que—We
‘e now in use fie motor trucks, two l-ton Ford trucks, and one
~1%-ton National truck, which are all equipped with trailers. We
employ two Ford motors for delivery in our box factory, and the Na-
truck for our lumber yard. This adoption of trailers has the
reat advantage, as they enable us to have all these trucks continu-
on the road, and there is no lost time in waiting for loading. The
atest advantage we find in using motor trucks is for long hauls.
‘his also permits us to extend our trade, as we are in a position to

utside city limits. Since we have employed motor trucks, we
ve done away with many horses and we expect to cut down alto-
ether | team hauling in future. Another reason we prefer to use
or trucks is the great difficulty we have had with labor which has
very scarce, and by using motor trucks we require, at least, 50
cent less help than before.

" cPherson & Clarke, Glencoe, Ont—We do not use trucks, as
r bt isiness is purely a farm trade, and they do their own teaming.
e keep a a couple of horses, but as we deal in coal also, and use them
in om ) winter time, we find horses the more economical for ‘our pur-

y an, trucks, but have Ford and Fulton. Our experience of
“delivery to date has been that it helps us to enlarge our delivery
and aids us‘to make rush deliveries, thereby covering conveni-
e and. service, but trucks are certainly not as economical or as re-
e as horse delivery.
N. Whitman & Son, Canso,-U.S.—We may say that we use a

fall seasons, are not suitable for motor trucking. In cities where
the streets are mostly paved, the truck might possibly be of advant-
age, counting speed.

Chas. Hubbell, Thamesville, Ont—We have been running a
Ford truck since 1918, and find it very satisfactory. It is away ahead
of a horse, in fact there is no comparison between a truck and team.

Gives Quicker and Better Service.

P. W. Gardiner & Son, Galt, Ont.—We use in connection with our
retail yard, a Ford truck of 22.5 h.p., and l-ton carrying capacity. We
have a team to take care of heavy trucking of lumber in the yard, but
for delivery purposes the truck gives much quicker and more satisfac-
tory service. We certainly would not be without it for this purpose.

Nantel & Remillard, Montreal, Que—We have only been in the
lumber business for a few months and we cannot tell yet if we will
ever use motor trucks. We are satisfied with horse delivery for the
present.

T. Prefontaine & Cie., Montreal, Que—We have not made use cf
motor trucks of any kind so far, as we firmly believe in horse delivery,
for short haul, as being the most economical and still the best mode
of delivery.

Eugene Murphy, Mount Forest, Ont.—I use a team in place of.
a motor truck. My reason for doing so is that the season during —
which a truck may be operated in this locality is too short. I would
have to keep horses for such times as it was not possible to make
use of a truck.

W. A. Hadley, of the S. Hadley Lumber Co., states that they
have never used motor trucks in their business, but some time in the
near future may give the proposition consideration.

O. T. Anderson, of Bury, Que., reports that he recently started
mill operations and expects to do his work with horses yet awhile,

Loading Space of Twelve Feet.

Ball Planing Mill Co., of Barrie, state they mcentae purchased

20 inches put on the frame, which gives ‘them a loading space of 12 —
feet. This extension affords a greater wheel base, and so far has

414-in. cord on the front wheel.

Bamford Bros., of Listowel, Ont., say they do not use a truck, as

it would be useless to them in the winter.

McElmon & Thompson, of Oxford, N.S.,
not used a truck in their lumber business, and do not think it would
be a good thing, as the roads in the different places where they have
been operating, are not adapted to heavy truck work. They are of
the opinion that in the near future their province will have roads
that will encourage lumbermen to put on motor trucks.
state they used motor trucks for delivery in their flour and feed busi-
ness and like them O.K. They have one Overland model, '4-ton —
truck and also light Ford truck.

Does Not Own a Horse To-day.

John T. James, of Bridgeburg, Ont., says he is using a 1%-ton
Federal and 1-ton Republic ‘truck, the latter for lighter and quicker
trips. He brings part of his manufactured stock ten miles from the ©

mill to deliver in Bridgeburg, and finds the trucks very much better |

than horse vehicles. Just for a short time in heavy snow he cannot
use them, but the period is generally not very long. Mr. James con-
cludes: “I find trucks less cost to keep up and less cost to operate
than horse or wagon. I believe that where the roads are good that
motor trucks are the only economical way of delivery. One great
advantage is in unloading cars. You can do it with less extra labor
and much quicker.’”’ Mr. James says he does not own a horse to-day.

R. J. Miller, of Black Lands, N.B., reports that trucks are the
right thing in the right place. While they may not take the place
of horses all the time, he believes that in lots of cases, especially in
a long haul; they are more servicetble, economical and satisfactory.

4 Paved Streets and Good Roads Required.

George N, Kernohan of the Kernohan Lumber Co., London, Ont.,
states that he does not use a truck for various reasons, the principal
one of which is that a great many of the streets in that city and in

oy the adjoining suburbs with which a large business is done, are not
i -paved and a truck would be only of use in certain months of the year.
» Horses are available at all times and can do a great deal of work

atound the yard in the way of unloading from cars, etc., when not en-
gaged in delivery. Mr. Kernohan believes that unless an experienced
) ~* man is kept to drive the truck, the repair bill is bound to be very high.
Considering that most of the hauls of his customers are short and
that many ‘streets would be practically impassable for a truck, he still
adheres to the method of team haul.
C. M. Fitzgerald, Georgetown, P.E.I., says that he does not use
motor trucks for the reason that his business is carried on principally
by the lighter boats and vessels who handle all these supplies and
it make the most of his deliveries.

Flemming & Gibson, Juniper, N. B.—We purchased last year a
tractor with which to haul hard and soft wood lumber from our mill
here to Juniper Station on the Transcontinental, a distance of prob-
ably 2% miles. We found the machine would haul a good load all
right, probably equal to two pair of draft horses. The difficulty we
found, however, was that the machine would not stand up to the
‘work of hauling four times per day over a dirt road, the under parts,
particularly the wheel bearings and track, went “west” on us in a
very short time, and we were forced to believe that the horse was the
- most prudent and efficient means of hauling for us until the “tractor or
_.+»*motor truck” had passed the experimental stage. At this writing we
Be do not believe they are anything but experiments i in so far as practical

Motor Trucks for Hauling Logs.

Mi Adolph Lumber Co., Baynes Lake, B. C.—Over a year ago we
decided to try motor trucks for logging purposes and after over a
year’s experience we have concluded. that they can be used success-
fully for hauling logs. We are, at the present time, using two, five-
ton “White” motor trucks, two five-ton “G. M. C.” motor “trucks and
two three and a half ton “Republic” trucks. All of these trucks have
given good service. We prefer the five-ton trucks to the lighter, as

riwe believe that it pays to have the heaviest machinery possible for ‘log
hauling purposes. Two of our trucks have the chain drive, two of
them worm gear drive and two of them internal gear drive. They
have all prov ed successful, but we find that the chain drive is the most
powerful and will give the best service in pulling a truck. out of a
hole. Of course it pays to make a good road for motor trucks just
the same as it does for horse trucks or any other method used for
hauling heavy loads. Good roads eliminate a large amount of the
repair bills : they also save gasoline and oil and will mean the trucks
making all their trips every day. We use the truck with a long
wheel hase as our logs are 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20 feet long, the largest
percentage being 16 ‘foot logs. We do not use a trailer “of any kind.
Our logs have been running eight logs to the 1,000 feet, and we have
been hauling on an average of 2,000 feet per load. The length of our
haul varies ‘from three to four and a half miles and we were able to
make from six to eight trips per day. We find that it takes less labor
to handle our logging with motor trucks. It eliminates the use of men
and teams and we really find it cheaper to haul logs with motor
trucks than we formerly found it hauling logs with horse trucks.
During last season it was so hot and dry that it was very difficult to
keep up the roads and we have concluded that we w ould have been
unable to handle our hauling with horses, and we were able to con-
tinue with our work when hauling with motor trucks. We have not
said anything about the cost per M. but might explain that at the pre-

. sent time we are hauling on an average of 34 mi — We believe that
we haul the logs at a cost of approximately $2.25 per M. Of course
this price varies from time to time but this is a conservative estimate.

‘Big Factor in Public Favor.

The Vigars-Shear Lumber Co. of Port Arthur, of which G. F.
Pearson is manager, thoroughly believe in the efficacy and advan-
tages of a truck. They use a two-ton Gramm- Bernstein truck, and
the cut in this page shows this vehicle loaded with 10,000 four-foot
* fath for delivery to a point about four miles distant from the Port
Arthur yard of the company. The truck, which the Vigars Shear
‘Lumber Co. have is specially arranged for deliv ery of forest products
and has a lumber roll-off device which is operated entirely from the
rear. With this equipment the company say they are enabled to
unload a full load in a space of, approximately, three to five minutes.
They consider this an important feature of the truck, although it does

of several months, our experience has proved that having a tru
service is of considerable advantage. While we feel that the cost e
thousand of delivery is high on an average-length haul, there i is me
doubt that the cost is considerably reduced on deliveries made t
points over two miles away from our yards. Outside of looking
the actual cost of operation, there is another point of view whic

we feel should not be disregarded. The fact that your customer know: v

H. H. Johnston, Truro, N.S., thinks team is the nea except on
exceptionally good roads. He has never used a motor truck himsel:
but the whole question, in his opinion, depends upon good roads. —

The Allen Lumber Co., of Waterloo, Que., assert that they have
very little hauling to do, and all in light loads, and, aid they 4
have no real use for them.

A. Duchemi n & Co., of Charlottetown, P. E.1., do nats use motor
trucks. - They find under their special conditions it pays to have their
work carried out by hired truck service. If they ever again take siDg
the question of their own delivery service, the firm nor that
will be motors that will be used and -nothing else.

Eastern Opinion is Divided.

OR Os Downey, of Curryville, N.B., writes: “We hae not used >
any motor trucks, as our work is lumbering, and a considerable por-
tion of it is carried out in the winter time. We have not tried any-
thing but horses for this work. Possibly motor power might | é em=7

T. E. Pratt & Son, of St. Peters, P.E.1., state they Sebi have

George Ives & Son, North Tryon, P.E.I. , say that they will ye

Rosemount Lumber Co., of Montreal, say they do not employ

A. H. Morin, of Trois Pistoles, Que.—I have a motor trick
114 tons and I use this truck for the delivery of construction mater-—

that for the deliveries of one mile or more distant it costs less than-
the teams, but for deliveries of a few blocks the delivery by , te team is
not so expensive and more satisfactory. I must say that the condi-_

ough the gang-way, so that the lumber will be placed immediately
‘under his nose.” In fact the customer is sometimes so particular
t the teamster often wonders if he will not be summoned to remain
nd help nail the boards on. If a number of houses were being built
multaneously in one quarter of the town and the lumber could be
ivered in large quantities, no doubt the motor truck would win
, but where small quantities of lumber of different kinds are to be
rered here and there, we think the horse-drawn lumber wagon is
preferred. One point we had almost overlooked—so much de-

Bett Ir. Barratt is well-known to the trade, and has an active and
thorough acquaintance with the industry. He came to Canada from
Old Country in 1902 and his first position was w:th Leishman,
ell & Co., afterwards the Woodstock Lumber & Mfg. Co. Mr.
spent some time in their lumbering activities in Haliburton
ry, where the firm conducted an operation under the name of
Jarcourt Lumber Co. Not only had he received a practical know-

‘considerably widened his experience on arriving in the Dominion.

Stabilization Neededin Lumber Prices :

‘Prominent American Lumberman Discusses Conditions
and Expresses Hope Inflated Values are Over

Mr. W. M. Ritter, of the W. M. Ritter Lumber Co., Columbus, -
Ohio, accompanied by Mr. F. B. Pryor, his sales manager, spent a
few days in Toronto recently on business. Mr. Ritter is one of the
best-known hardwood lumber manufacturers in the United States,
and this was his first visit to Canada. His company operate thirteen
band mills, six planing mills and eleven flooring units, and the annual
capacity is 130,000,000 feet. About 1,000,000 logs each year are cut
into hardwood at the various sawmills of his company. .

The mills are located in industrial villages, which have been built
in the mountains in the heart of the forest, and in these villages Mr.
Ritter states the company have other interests than their plants and
lumber. There are good schools and churches which the company
liberally support, in order that the best educational facilities may be
afforded the children, Mr. Ritter’s organization supplements the usual
State grants so that the most efficient teachers may be employed. His
company have also community clubhouses which they have built
and turned over to the people. These clubhouses are fitted for enter- —
tainments of all kinds and have billiard parlors, bowling alleys and
other community diversions. There are also provided in the various
villages ball grounds, tennis courts and other conveniences for out-
door sports. > ;

Mr. Ritter served during the war on the War Industries Board
at Washington and rendered valuable service.

Speaking of the general business situation in the United States, |
he stated that not only in lumber but in all other commodities values _
had gone too high, and there was bound to be a halt in the ascension.
The inflation of prices could not go on forever without some set-back.
Such a condition of affairs was not a healthy one and the great dan-
ger was that when a recession set in it would, no doubt, swing too
far the other way.

Wanted to Curb Runaway Market.

A little over a year ago Mr. Ritter, in conference with several
lumbermen and other representatives of building materials, sought to
check the constant inflation of quotations, not only in lumber but in
glass, hardware, cement and other lines. At that time the demand
was very keen and the interests affected seemed to believe that
there was little or no danger of a turning of the tide. This had now
come and the peak had been reached.

“T am,” continued Mr. Ritter, “strongly in favor of stabilization
of prices. I would not like to see them go back to the pre-war levels
for many reasons. One is that our American dollar today has only |
-about 50% of the purchasing power that it had before the war, and —
we have a heavy war debt to meet. If too low values are established,
it will take too many years to liquidate our financial obligations. I
am of the opinion that if an advance could be made of, say, 100% on
the prices which prevailed before 1914, this would create a normal
and stable condition. I do not only mean 100% so far as lumber is |
concerned, but 100% advance in wages and every other line. You
know, however, that the percentage in many cases is much heavier |
than that, and I am rather apprehensive that if a. strong demand |
develops in the spring for all kinds of building and other materials, _
that the same state of affairs will prevail as we witnessed a few |
months ago. It would be a cause of muddying the water a second |
time, and the result would be equally disastrous. oe

“There is a great shortage of building in my own and every other —
city, and thousands of houses must be erected. If market conditions —
should revive suddenly, we do not want a repetition of the artificial
state of affairs which obtained some time ago, with prices running
riot. It is too much like a dog chasing his tail and moving around.
in a circle. The present slow-up is, I believe, tending to help along
readjustment in a most effective and substantial way, and once hay- |
ing gone through an unsound and artificial state, there is no reason, |
with the experience and insight which we gained during the past few
months, why we should invite such conditions again. Ss

“We are doing a moderate amount of business at the present
time and naturally have curtailed production at a number of our
plants, owing to decreased requisitions for forest products. The trans- ~
portation situation is steadily improving and I look for business to |
revive rapidly next spring. With values more normal, construction |
should proceed on a scale that will in a measure relieve the present /
demand for houses. So far as our own plants are concerned, we |
have found our men generally more efficient than they were before
the war. This has been brought about by co-operation with our
superintendents and foremen and through them with the rank and
file of our employees. We have sought to work with them to the
fullest extent and see that they received a return commensurate with
their industry. Our employees are contented and, the unit or standard
of production, which we established in 1914, has been considerably ~
increased by their united and individual effort.”

Imperial Press Delegates Visit Big Mill

Between sixty and seventy of the Imperial Press delegates, who
come from nearly every part of the Empife, recently visited the
“Hastings saw mill, Vancouver, the large plant of the British Columbia
Mills Timber & Trading Company,,and the mill that made B. C.
Douglas fir famous.

Many members of the party had no doubt either seen or heard
of the products of this well-known firm, which for over fifty years
has been exporting the H. S. M. brand of masts, spars, and timbers
of Douglas fir to every part of the world.

The British Columbia Mills Timber & Trading Company felt

- much pleasure in receiving a visit from such an influential and re-
_ presentative body of persons as the Imperial Press delegates, amongst
whom were such personages as Viscount Burnham, proprietor of the
London “Daily Telegraph.” Sir Roderick Jones of Rettters, Sir

Elmsley Carr, editor of “The News of the World,” and Dr. evar
Powell, editor of ‘The Financial News,’ London.
ey They were received by Mr. Eric W. Hamber, president of the
company; Mr. Arthur J. Hendry, general superintendent, and Mr. is
Alex Hendry, secretary.

After the reception, patriotically embellished cards of welcome,
on which were printed a few facts concerning the Hastings saw mill,
and a leaflet of printed explanations relating to the different depart-

ments to be visited, were distributed amongst the guests.

The party under the guidance of Mr. Hamber, Mr. Arthur J.
Hendry and Mr. J. Alex Hendry, then began their round of the plant.
The drying-kilns were first visited, then the planing department, the
log-pond, and log-slip. Here a giant log over 100 feet long was be-
ing drawn up into the mill, and the party, grouped on either side of
it, was photographed.

The party then proceeded to the log-deck, where several giant
logs were waiting their turn to be sawn. The delegates were much
impressed by the ease with which these monsters were “handled” by
the modern mechanical appliances. Then, on one side of the “deck,”

they watched the 60-inch circular saws “breaking down” the big logs, _

and on the opposite side the 14-inch band saw sawing timbers twenty-
' four inches square and over 100 feet long, and their being carried
away by the live rolls.

Passing successively the second band. saw, the edgers,, and
through the grading, measuring, and tallying departments, the party
proceeded to the end of the.mill, where some fine timbers and spars
for export to Australia, China and Japan, were to be seen. All the

members of the party stood on one of these timbers—which measured
twenty-four inches square and 100 feet long—while a photograph of
_. them was taken.- This squared timber was cut from the log the party
had stood at the opposite end of the mill a few moments previously.
Lying on the wharves beyond the electric railway, which is used
for distributing the lumber, were seen timbers and lumber of dif-
ferent sizes and grades ready for shipment to foreign countries.
The filing room was next visited. Here four band-saws, each
measuring fourteen inches in width, and seventy-two feet in cir-
cumference, were being sharpened by mechanical means. A process
that particularly interested the party was that of brazing two ends
of the saw. A brazure was skilfully made by the chief filer, who ex-
plained to the party just how it is done.

was unable to visit the picket, lath and

The visit having ended, the party returned to the entrance of
the mill. On leaving Lord Burnham, on ,behalf of the members

Explains British Housing System :
An interesting conference was given recently in the Y.M.C.A.
Hall, Quebec, by Mrs. S. A. Barnett, of London, England, on
making of a home. |
Mrs. Barnett spoke authoritatively on the subject as she has
considerable experience in founding homes of various kinds. In
1905, this lady founded the Hampstead Garden suburbs, and is now
director and honorary manager of Hampstead Garden suburb, ar
nearly 2,000 homes have been erected which accommodate some
10,000 people. + * 2a

building for the housing problem. . eg Ss
The first system is that of private initiative which is the best
when those concerned in the building really want the good of the
working class. The second is the company system—companies that —
build houses—for the industrials have one intention, that is making
money, and the workmen’s interests are completely put aside.
Mayor Samson, the Lord Bishop of Quebec, and many others"
were among those present. ha
Mrs. S. A. Barnett, C.B.E., has received the following letter from —

“Her Majesty desires me to tell you that she is much interested in
your lecturing tour in Canada and wishes it every success. As you
already know the Queen takes a personal interest in the housing
question and hopes that the beautiful homes for all classes which —
you have inaugurated so successiuvily in the Hampstead Garden —
suburb may be adopted with great success in Canada. “fa

_ Lumber ee isatians 4 Take Up the Charge

he various Lumber Dealers’ Associations are now taking
vith Mr. Laidlaw’s statements and the matter will, likely, be
at the next meetings of these bodies.
H. Boultbee, Toronto, secretary of the Ontario Retail Lumber
’ Association, -has produced several authoritative statements
al tests regarding the fire hazard of shingles and from many
in his possession quote statements to ‘show that wooden
es are less hazardous than prepared roofing. One of his
is B. L. Grondal, assistant professor of. forestry of the
ity of Washington. Prof. Grondal, who made very extensive
entific tests as to the resistance to fire of various kinds of
wg, sets forth the following conclusions:
Roofings manufactured from paper containing rags, bark
ilar combustible material should not be classed as fire resist-
: poofings, for they readily support combustion.
2. “Roofings saturated with asphalt or pitch burn very readily,
I though the paper base may be of non-combustible ma-
fire is readily communicated to the sheathing below. Such
should, therefore, not be classed as fire-resisting.
“Untreated western red cedar shingles constitute a relatively
hazard and by the application of fire- -proofing compounds
be effectively rendered fire-resisting.

Grondal also declared in his report that “Frequent asser-
_ manufacturers of roofings designed to replace wooden
that such ‘patent’ roofings afford protection from fire, while
ern red cedar shingles presented abnormally dangerous fire
ve led many people to use such roofings under the impres-
they were fire-proof. As fire records demonstrate rather
“ee that few fires originate through the ignition of wooden
by sparks, the claims of some of ‘these manufacturers were
d by students of the College of Forestry of the Univer-
ral. years ago and the discovery was made that any “pitch
saturated roofing paper” or fire-resisting” roofing would
ously when lighted with an ordinary parlor match. It

it of the professor describes tests Sade with various
oofing and justifies this conclusion,” declares Secretary
in a letter which he has sent out to ‘the press. “The anti-
ws passed in several parts of the United States have been
led as a result of scientific tests of roofing. Mr. Boultbee also
that he has many reports and records to show the advantage
roofing against fire when compared with various prepared
led “fire- proof” roofings. —

Ga., which effected a repeal of an Anti-Shingle Ordinance.
Reynolds said in- part :-—
In Defence of Wooden Shingle.

“To begin, I wish to ask you to bear in mind that wood shingles
have remained the universal roofing material on their record of service
and economy through centuries in the past and without any defence
in their behalf, and due to the fact that the majority of houses -are
covered with wood, every opportunity is afforded for discovering
their faults. Such an opportunity has not been available to the ~
substitutes, because of the limited use of these products. It is easy
to secure reports selected to antagonize wood shingles. The success
of the manufacturers of substitute or composition roofing is con-
trolled by their ability to condemn wood shingles.

“Now a great deal of sensible argument can be presented on either
side of any question, and it would be an endless task for you to try
to arrive at a conclusion by considering the records of individual cities
or towns. :

“Thousands of dollars are spent every year by the National
Board of Fire Underwriters to obtain a record from the various
cities, states and.the United States as a whole. These reports are
condensed and given in simple form to show the various causes of
the fire loss. You have had presented to you, however, the fire re-
ports of certain selected cities, whose records happen to appear fav-
orable to the argument condemning wood shingles, but these refer-
ences are not conclusive.

Individual Records of Little Value.

“By selecting records of individual towns and cities, it is easy to
find figures and conditions favorable to either side of the question.
For instance, the manufacturers of wood shingles on the Pacific Coast
prepared a pamphlet to combat the attacks of the composition roofing
manufacturers, and by quoting the actual records of Minneapolis,
Milwaukee and several other cities, it appeared that wood shingt-s
were much less hazardous than any other kind of roofing material,
but neither these statistics nor those presented by Mr. Brosnan are
worthy of your consideration unless you will undertake to consider
individually the records of every city in the United States. This
would be an endless task and furthermore too many details are
confusing.

“The National Board of Fire Underwriters’ statement covers
the entire field in a detailed and yet condensed form. I am confining
my use of statistics to those published by this authority, as nearly as
»ossible, because it will not be questioned by those who oppose wood
shingles. This organization itself is a genuine enemy of wood
shingles, as expressed in the reports, wherein they utilize their lim- —
ited space devoted to comment, by stooping to the low plane of re-
ferring to the record ofa single town for a single day to find statis-
tics to justify criticism. Their report for a whole year covering a
broad territory does not bear them out in this, regardless of their
desire to the Contrary.”

What Fire Department Records Reveal.

“I understand that the records of the fire departments in eat oF
town and city are the basis for the statistics given out by the Na-
tional Board of Fire Underwriters, and what does this report show?
First, that the total fire loss in the United States for 1916 was $208,-
705,340.00, and only $7,355,047.00 was caused from sparks on roof.
This 314%, gentlemen, is the basis for all this agitation all over the

country, while they are allowing to go practically unnoticed, a num-

ber of other hazards of which it is equally as practical to control by —
legislation and at the same time causing more loss than’ the sparks
on roof, namely:

Detective chimneys-and flues 5... ... 0 worse. $12,724,317.00
Stoves, furnaces arid their pipes ..........4 5. 11,204,875.00
Iareless Use OLnmatCheSs « bc cies ana cea wewheie ake 7,13&181.00
Smoking (cigars, cigarettes and nipes) ...... 8,588,375.00

“JAS the matter stands, we would be prosecuted for covering our
homes with the most comfortable and economical roofing in existentes
but we can allow every employee in our factories to smoke where he
pleases and when he pleases, regardless of the fact that smoking is
more hazardous than wood shingles. Two wrongs never did malice a
right, but why is it that wood sh: ngles are singled out of this great
list to be legislated against all over the country? It is simply due
to the constant agitation that is promoted and kept alive by the
various manulacturers of substitute roofing.”

Mr. Oliver Elected as Grand Sire

Joseph - Oliver, head of the
Oliver Lumber Co., Limited, To-
ronto, was recently honored at
Boston, Mass., ir a signal man-
ner by the Sovereign Grand
\e odge, Independent Order of
Oddfellows, in being unanimous-
ly elected Grand Sire of the Or-
der. Mr. Oliver has been Deputy
Grand Sire for the past two years
and that he was advanced to the
highest position in the gift of the
organization without opposition,
speaks much for his activity and
devotion to the three links. Only
once previously has the dignity
of Grand Sire been attained by
a Canadian, and that was many
years ago, by Dr. . T. Campbell
of London.

Mr. Oliver has long been a
prominent citizen of, Toronto, of
which city he is a former mayor,
and a former president of the
Canadian National Exhibition. Twenty-seven years ago he was elect-
ed Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Oddfellows for Ontario. In
1915 he was appointed Honorary Colonel of the Canadian Militia. Mr.
Oliver also served for several terms as a school trustee, and is a lead-
ing member of the Masonic Order, the Orange Order and _ other
bodies. He had resided in Toronto since 1855 and began his career
as a carpenter. Working by the day, he forced his way up until he
became a lumberman and ev rentually head of the wholesale lumber
firm which bears his name.

The next annual meeting of the Sovereign Grand Lodge will be
held in Toronto in September, 1921, when it is expected that about
five hundred delegates will be present from various parts of the con-
tinent.

Horoscope of Lumber Operations

The last issue of the Labor Gazette, of Ottawa, contains the fol-
lowing interesting review on general conditions in lumber operations
in Canada from coast to coast:

Lumbering continued quiet during the month at Charlottetown.
The sawmills and lumber booms round Fredericton gave employment
to large staffs. A shortage of men was reported at Bathurst in every
department of the lumbering industry. The sawmills in Quebec dis-
trict were busy to capacity, with little prospect of finishing this sea-
son’s cut unless the weather holds out late. Sherbrooke also reported
activity in the lumber, tie and telegraph pole camps and in the saw
and shingle mills. At Ottawa and Hull the sawmills were fully busy,
and bushmen were in demand for the camps. Peterboro reported the
completion of a big drive and another starting; saw, shingle and
lath mills were busy. At Timmins a demand was reported for pulp-
wood cutters and at Pembroke for lumber mill workers and bushmen.
Owen Sound reported activity in the sawmills, and camps busy
on the north shore of Georgian Bay. The annual demand for bush-

-men started in Cobalt district, the season opening early, and for the

pulp woods at Elk Lake; help was also called for at the sawmills.
North Bay reported slack conditions in the labor market , but the
opening of the lumber camps was expected soon to give relief. At
Sault Ste. Marie lumbering operations, including pulpwood, ties, posts,
saw-logs and hardwood, were very active, camps filling up as fast as
men could be secured; the sawmills were busy, having some diffi-
culty in securing enough labor in the yards as many men were away
in the harvest fields. ‘Port Arthur and Fort William reported a de-
mand for men to stow pulpwood. Prince Albert and Edmonton re-
ported a demand for bushmen and sawmill workers. Fernie reported
some curtailment in the expansion of lumbering operations due to un-
favorable market conditions, but the local ‘mills operated to the
capacity of a one shift day; in the south district some mills were
obliged to close temporarily and sent out fire fighting crews. At
Cranbrook, Nelson. Kamloops and Vernon fire- fighting crews caused
some scarcity of labor at the mills. Vancouver “reported a demand
for men for the camps and sawmills. At New Westminster the saw

New Features in Asphalt Roofings —

It has recently been announced that The Beaver Ae.
in their broad policy of manufacturing and merchandising
Board and allied building materials, is to offer for the jaeeey tae
distinctive and patented features of Vulcanite Asphalt Roofing as a
“Beaver Quality” product.

The demand in the past few years for asphalt fees ey has”
greatly increased due to their durable and fire-resisting qualities. —
Especially in the case of asphalt shingles with their protected surface —
of crushed slate in natural non-fading colors which give beautiful
and lasting results, are asphalt roofings today winning the vor of
builders. xi

Vulcanite built up a most enviable record in the roof g industry
in Great Britain (where it was first manufactured in 1876), 1 the
Continent and in the United States. The outstanding fea
new Vulcanite proposition are the patented self-spacing
protective hexagon slab shingles, and the characteristic _
vertising campaigns and dealer helps in promoting sales.
A modern and completely equipped plant is now ee: at.
Ottawa for manufacturing Vulcanite quality roll roofings =a asphalt ,
shingles in Canada. The sales offices of The Beaver Company, Ltd.,
are at Thorold, Ontario, and convenient distributing points are being
established as quickly as possible throughout the Do: Ar-

‘ "Sudden Death of Sir James Ball

Many friends in Canadian lum-
ber circles will learn with extreme
regret of the sudden death of Sir
James Ball, late . Controller of
Timber Supplies for the British
Government during the war. Sir
James spent several weeks in
Canada in the early months of
1919 in his official capacity, being
accompanied by Montague
Meyer, British Timber Purchas-
er. He visited all parts of the
Dominion and came in contact
with representative lumbermen
of very province, particularly’
those doing an export business.
Sir James, who was chief engi-
neer of the London, Brighton &
South Coast Railway, expired at
Forest Row, Sussex, on Septem-
oo ber 15th, where he was spending
a et ia. x the day with. Sir Wm. Forbes,

aft Lee: ter a round on the golf links, he
eturned to the house and immediately complained of faintness, pass-
way a few minutes later. On the previous day he was at work

Sir James, who was born in 1867, entered the service of the
t Northern Railway in 1890, and afterwards became engineer to
Lancashire, Derbyshire and East Coast Railway. In 1907 he

Nearly All Housing Loans Taken Up

More than 300 dwellings will have been constructed throughout
Canada under the housing scheme by the end of the season, and in
some parts, where the climate permits, operations will go ahead in
the winter, according to advices received from Ottawa.

In the early part of the year plan-was not availed of as readily }

legislation to suit different localities, and these will be made at the. «5
next session so that greater progress is expected next year. e

Supplemented by the provinces, the Federal Government appro-
priatd $25,000,000, to be loaned to the provinces at 5 per cent., and
nearly all of it has been taken up. In Ontario, federal and provincial
appropriations for the purpose aggregate about $11,000,000.

Western Lumber Situation is Interesting

According to reports received in the East the situation in connec- _
tion with British Columbia stocks in Ontario is still the subject of
much interest. There is apparently no uniformity of opinion as yet
as to how the Western mills will handle the new state of affairs.
created by the freight rate advances. It is generally reported that
Western mills have low stocks at present, and that few of them can
quote on any varied bills. At the same time most of them seem to
have one or two lines each on which they are ready to accept a little
lower prices than the other mills. Under these conditions the poss-
ibility of the Western mills placing the increased freight rates upon
the consumer are not bright.

Prairie conditions at present are interesting and may be expected
to influence trade in Eastern Canada to some extent. Outstanding
accounts of the lumber yards on the Prairies are reported to have
reached pretty considerable figures; so that many of the dealers feel
that their most important business for the next few months will be
collecting rather than selling. They have allowed their stocks to de-
crease to a minimum, and are buying only from hand to mouth.
When the Fall collections have been gathered in, the yards in the |
Prairies may be expected to stock up for Spring trade, and unless the |
mills in B.C. accumulate larger stocks than they have now, there isa |
possibility that another active and profitable trade, as was the case a
year ago, may be witnessed. No one expects, however, that prices
will make advances at all commensurate with those of last winter.

The labor situation at the coast is still one of the strong deter- |
mining factors in connection with prices. If the manufacturer con-
tinues to pay the present prices for logs, and the cost of manufactur-
ing is not lowered, he will find it increasingly difficult to sell lumber
on the basis of present prices.

Tide water mills in British Columbia, which are in a position to
cater to the export trade, report that they have plenty of orders ahead |

for export at good prices. oat

The Creed of Wholesale Dealer

_ Here is the way one wholesale lumber dealer puts the view he |,
holds, in a circular issued to the trade—you can gather that he is lo- |
cated in the mid-west states:

“We believe that the old method of doing business with the mills |
is passing away. The idea that the manufacturer must be kept in |
the dark as to conditions and that he must be discouraged into cutting |
his price to allow the wholesaler a profit, has gone into the discard. |.
We believe that if the wholesaler renders the service which justifies _
his existence, that when the mills are making money, we can make |
money. Naturally then we are boosters when conditions justify; —
and yet we shall not hesitate to tell you unpleasant truths when they |
are necessary. We are trying to spread the gospel of west coast lum- |
ber throughout the middle west. We believe that it is the future |
wood for this territory and we are trying to make it the present wood. 5S |
Every good car of west coast lumber which is shipped into our terri- |
tory is a boost for us no matter who ships it. But we surely have —
the axe out for the man who ships a bad one. Every mill man should
realize that every car which goes out from his plant carries as a part
of its cargo a portion of the future of the fir market. A good car may
make a man a good fir customer for life and a poor one can more |
easily turn him away.” >a

His Specialty is Wood Using Statistics

R. G. Lewis, Dominion Statis-
tician of the Yorestry Branch, Ot-
tawa, occupies an important and
yet somewhat unique position in
connection with forest products
tabulation in Canada. His duties
‘as Forestry Statistician consist in
co-operation with the Dominion
urea u of Statistics in the collec-
tion, compilation and publication
of statistics relating to forest pro-
ducts. This work at present cov-
ers the production of lumber, lath,
shingles, pulpwood, pulp and pa-
per, planing mill products and
some of the more important wood-
using industries. The figures for
these are collected annually and
published in bulletin form.

Mr. Lewis is a graduate of the
Facult:) of Forestry of the To-
ronto University and for the past
eight years has been acting as sta-
tistician for the Forestry Branch
in Canada’s capital city with the exception of two years, when he was
on active service. Fifteen months of this time was spent in France
as technical officer of the Canadian Forestry Corps.

Mr. Lewis states that, in connection with the wood-using indus-
tries, arrangements are now being completed for a renewal of the
wood-using industries studies which were made by the Forestry
Branch from 1911 to 1916. The work was interrupted by the war
and it is gratifying to learn that it is likely to be resumed. During
the five years that it was in progress, the Dominion was covered by

R. G. Lewis, Ottawa, Ont.

>a series of studies of the industries using wood as a raw material.

It was intended to study each of the five regions—the Maritime pro-
vinces, the prairie provinces, Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia
once every five years and to have each study explained by a published
bulletin except in the case of British Columbia. It is understood
that this investigation will be continued this year by a study of con-
ditions in Ontario, undertaken in co-operation with the Bureau of
Statistics.

Present Lumber Prices Not Too High

The John Carew Lumber Co., of Lindsay, Ont., have finished
sawing operations for the season. Owing to repairs of the lock at
Bobcaygeon, it was impossible for the firm to bring anything in the
timber line up from the lower locks until August Ist. The company
are putting in three camps below Bobcaygeon, and have also purchas-
ed several pieces of timber up the other route, and will have, prob-
ably, three camps more, making six in all. The firm state it is cost-
ing more and more all the time for operating expenses, and the effici-
ency of men is only about 60 per cent. of what it should be, and they
cannot possibly see how lumber will be any cheaper. Labor seems
plentiful enough in the Lindsay district, but it is impossible to get
men to work steadily, and they do not turn out their full capacity
even when they are employed.

Will Use Poplars Along Lake Front

Toronto’s Parks Department has planted 4,487 trees upon the
city’s streets during the season just ended, a record which has not
been exceeded since before the war. They are chiefly Norway maples

Hardwood Bush Brought Good Price

At the sale of the W. H. Woods estate, at Bayfield, Ont.., J. E.
Baechler, of the Goderich Manufacturing Co., Goderich purchased a
property of 123 acres, including ninety acres of hardwood bush, at
a price of $28,100. A parcel of 103 acres with the buildings thereon
was putchased by Thos. McCurdy, of Stratford, for $5,700.

The property purchased by Mr. Baechler is on the Lake road a

‘of a Forestry company in France, and is now engaged in

re
mile and a half south of Bayfield. Mr. Baechler intends to start
taking out some of the timber about the first of December. Fe
To bring this timber to the mill in Goderich Mr. Baechler will
have two big motor trucks, which he has purchased from the National
Steel Corporation of Hamilton. These trucks travel easily twelve
miles an hour and are calculated to do the work of about eight teams
of horses. oo
A few days before the Woods sale Mr. Baechlor bought fifty
acres of bush in Warwick township, county of Lambton, — Aa
In the spring Mr. Baechler proposes to rebuild his factory, if suit

The Value of Timber By-Products 7, eee

That the by-products of the saw mill will outvalue in the near
future the finished lumber is the prediction of a Western tiinber
authority as quoted in a recent issue of the Literary Digest. —
“Only 40 per cent. of our cut timber is utilized; the rest is thrown —
away. This means that the unused 60 per cent. is in sacevaap that —
it would not pay to use it. The problem of utilizing waste material,”
says this authority, “is that of making its utilization profitable.” The
enhanced value of timber to-day is making profitable the conversion
of waste into merchantable products. Alcohol, tanning extracts, tur-

pentine, pine-oils, fiber for rugs, carpets, bags and all sor s of fabrics,
imitation leather, linoleums, insulating materials, these are a few of —
the products obtainable from sawmill waste, which was formerly |
thrown away. Ph *
It has been predicted that the by-product distillates of wood, as (
wood and grain alcohol, may sometimes equal other sawmill products
in value. Grain alcohol may be produced from any wood at relatively
low cost, and by a process that yields other products of value as well.
This may become a substitute for oil and gasoline in the operation of —

engines for automobiles and automotive machinery. ee

Tanning extracts are made mostly from the bark of oak and
hemlock. Turpentine comes from woods possessing necessary resin- —

ous content. In fact, practically every wood possesses important by—
product possibilities that may be greatly increased by « al ex-
erts. 7 Ry .
; As chemical investigations advance, and new uses are found for —
wood waste, the percentage of waste will be steadily cut down. j

Business and Pleasure in Sweden
By Anton Selander, F.E., Montreal

When the first two
weeks were passed in
June we boys began to
be very nervous.

Anders, the old man’s
cook, coachman, valet and
so forth was called in
conference in regard to
the prospective journey to
Snurrevallen up in_ the
north of Sweden.

Now, Anders was a
person that knew exactly
what the old man wanted,
having been in his service
for over thirty years.

We boys were not cail-

to hear the result of the
conference. 7
Later the old man told
us that it was decided to
go up to the mountains
to look over some timber
that the government offered for sale and that after looking
over the timber lots, we should go up to Snurrevallen to fish
for trout and greyling for three weeks and stay at our club.
A specification of provisions and wets were made out, and
four guides were sent up at once to overhaul the boats.
' These boats are made similar to a canoe but somewhat
~ larger, are very light and can easily be poled up stream.
They are made of half inch thick pine and painted outside
and inside.
Our flotilla was red outside and white inside.

Oars were used to propel the boat forward except in going
up rapids when the boat was poled.

In the forend was a block with a rope about three hundred
feet long and the end of the rope was attached to a stone used
as an anchor in the rapids.

On the 26th of June we took the train from Avesta to
Insjon, a journey of three hours, and then the boat, a fine
boat where you could get a meal and drinks as good as any

hotel in the old world.
- As soon as the dinner bell rang on the boat we boys
were at it hungry as wolves as boys always are.

The boat traversed Lake Siljan, a beautiful lake fifty miles
long, and along the shores, embedded in pine forests, were
many very old historical places such as Laksand, where all

- natives still go dressed in their national dresses, and also in
- Rattvik, a place I spoke of in a previous article.

Six miles from the end of the lake is Solleron, an island
; , six miles long and a parish in itself, well built and prosper-
| ous surrounded with sand beach and clear water, a spot that

| would touch the loveliest imagination.

__ We stopped there to take on and leave off some freight
and passengers, and then off for Mora, where Gustavus Vasa,
well known in. Swedish history as the first great King, who
inspired the Darlkarls to come with him and fight the Danes,
and which King later freed the country forever from foreign
conquerors.
There our boat trip ended and here was Anders, with a
hack spanned with the old man’s best driving horses, Sleipner
Recess: and Blenda, and also two rigs with pack horses,
Everything we had was transferred to those rigs from the
- boat and after shaking hands with the captain, and
Ne thanking him for looking after our comfort so well, Anders
_ whipped up the horses and. we started for the mountains be-
| _ tween Sweden and Norway.
ret After two miles travelling we reached Osterdalefven,
| _—~where we had to be ferried across, but it was late in the
evening and the ferryman lived on the other side of the
| _ river. We had to use all the power of our lungs for a good
} _ half hour before our friend, the ferryman, decided that “there
} + was something doing” on the other side of the river, and

after another half hour the ferry reached our side and we ail

embarked.

On the other side of Osterdalefven we passed through a
small village, very old and very poor looking, and then we
hit the bush.

The road was very sandy and all the time up hill until we
come to a farm twelve miles higher up called Spjutmo, and
there again through the bush all pine or, as the Swedish call,
Tallskog, and the English, redwood. After another six miles
we reached Garberg, a very small village in the woods.

A little creek with water clear as crystal followed the road
for a mile, no shrubbery on the sides and you could see the
trout (rainbow) behind small rocks.

But we had not gone far enough to allow us to start and
try the fly, so we went further and after another six miles
we reached the first house in Elfdalen.

Imagine yourself to be with us and you will feel how grand
and beautiful it was:

The forest opens and we found ourselves on a good road,
one thousand feet above the river, with the land all cultivated,
sloping gently down to the river and dotted here and there
with pretty farm houses all painted red with white corners
and verandas.

You could see the river for miles away, running north in
curves, as a band of silver, and joined in some places by
smaller streams coming down in cascades from the moun-
tains.

There was not much pine except in the background, but
we found the farms embedded in white birch.

We drove right up to the hotel and Mr. Braaten, the
proprietor and a friend of the old man, arranged to give us
the best house he could offer, including a bottle of Pomery
extra Sec.

Next morning about five o’clock was breakfast time. We
boys felt it was too early, but what would be the use to pro-
Lest.

The old man and Anders were already up and what was
worse, Anders had orders from the old man to throw a tub
of cold water over us, and we never could imagine what
it was good for.

But such is a young fellow’s luck sometimes.

‘Six miles further up we crossed the: tributary of Oster-
dalefven and the road entered the woods.

Here were many small streams crossing the river, and if
time would allow us we could have got trout in plenty every-
where, but the old man wanted first to see the timber, so on
we went until we came to Asen, the last village for six miles.

More grand scenery; an open valley somewhat deeper
than in Elfdalen, and looking across it you will see a water-
fall on the other side from a tributary coming down in sheer
drops eight hundred feet. Yes it was beautiful beyond descrip-
tion..

We stopped here for a while to look at nature, and the old
man wanted to speak to Larsson, the Member of Parliament,
and his old friend.

After a while we started again and immediately entered the
pine forest down, down, down, a thousand feet in six miles,
where we reached Osterdalefven and ferried over again, then
up two thousand feet in eighteen miles, all pine forest and
small streams, and came to an arm called Hollstugan, and
there we stopped for a while to take to the bush to find out
what the timber looked like that the Government was offer-
ing for sale on auction this fall.

Hollstugan is what you here call a homestead.

At the time we came there the land was not divided, and
any man that broke soil and built a good house and raised
cattle would later receive a certain amount of forest land with
the timber on. He received this.from the Government free of
all fees, and with the right to dispose of it at his pleasure.

The farmer worked hard the first year, but tourists and
work in the lumber camps helped him so he soon became
prosperous, and when the Government divided the forest land
this man got twelve hundred acres which he sold to a lumber
company for two hundred kroner, $60,000.00.

We were all tired after a journey of one and a half days,
cramped up aS we were in buggies, so it was decided to
take-a day’s rest.

At this place we met two guides, and our Uncle, this later

being the old man’s bush manager for the northern districts.

As there was no more road suitable for horses to the tim-
ber limit, we had to pack our provisions in bags. The bags
are made of Birchbark and are fitted with straps to hang over
the shoulders.

After a tramp of a few hours we arrived on the spot where
the Government had stamped the trees offered for sale, and
the packs were loosened beside a small river called Unon.

A fire was started at once and Anders put potatoes on the
fire and started to cut frying pans to be used for frying ham:

These frying pans were green spruce boughs about three
feet long, pointed at one end. You hang the smoked ham on
it, and hold it over the fire until fried to everyone’s taste,
and believe me, it is good.

Mother had made some soup which we warmed up and

- Anders finished up a bottle of snaps and a couple of Pilsnerbier
and we had a meal that a king would envy.

The examination of the timber took us several days, and
every evening after work was over we whipped the stream for
trout and got plenty.

After our exploring for about a week the old man
found he had enough material on which to base his estimate
of value, when the sale was to be made, and we started back
for Hollstugan.

In the meantime we had been away, a letter had arrived,
saying that the boats were now in perfect condition.

Anders phoned up to the nearest village, forty miles away,
and ordered a messenger to inform our guides that we should
be at Snurrevallan next day.

Very early next morning we started off going north for

Says Their Work Lessens Labor Agitators

The work of the Shantymen’s Christian Association in lumber-
ing, mining and construction camps of Canada and the United States
has been carried on extensively during the past summer, especially
inthe East and in Northern Ontario, and has been shown to have a
very salutary effect upon tendencies towards labor agitation, accord-
ing to the Rev. Thomas Joplin, field secretary, who is in Montreal on
his annual visit. The thirty missionaries of the organization tramped
7,000 miles during the past year, visited 740 camps and addressed in
all 43,400 men, of whom 8,500 were foreigners and 7,000 French
speaking. The associat-on also made an attempt to help the lonely
settlers with whom they came into contact in the wilder districts of
this country.

In all camps where the men had spare time on their hands, it was
found, said Mr. Joplin, that there was a marked tendency towards
labor agitation but this he declared was less noticeable in those camps
which received the regular visits of the missionaries than in others.
He cited one instance of an extreme labor agitator who had been con-
victed of error through one of the missionaries and was now himself
preparing to take up mission work in the camps of Western Canada.

The case of the lonely settler, Mr. Joplin described as most pitiful.
The association workers, he said, had come into contact with some
families who had had no visitors for five or six years and in some in-
stances had arrived just in time to prevent the occurrence of suicides
through loneliness.

The association carries on work in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick,
Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, Michi-
ean, Minnesota, Wisconsin and among the coal miners in Kentucky.

Why Such Large Freight Tolls

J. H. Duthie, late of the MacDonald Lumber Co., Toronto, is
writing for the press some interesting and forceful articles on the
“Railways and the Board of Railway Commissioners,” and in a re-
cent reference on transportation tolls pointedly observes:

Cheap transportation is one of the most important factors in the
progress and development of a country, and when the Dominion Goy-
ernment took over the Canadian Northern and Grand Trunk Rail-
ways, it was supposed that its object would be to provide a service
adequate to the necessities of the country at the lowest possible cost.
Instead, however, of doing so, it has accepted the advice of the men
responsible for the failure to make those lines paying propositions,
and decided to take from the consumers of Canada an additional sum
approximately amounting to $300,000,000 per annum, without the
slightest guarantee that the money will be used to better advantage
than has been the case in the past.

At different periods the railways have been given permission to
advance their transportation tolls, and in each case it was stated that

twenty miles, where we came to another farm named unkris,

That is the first place in the northermost parish of Dalarne
bordering on Norway, and here the forests are cut up in six
miles squares by what is called parallels or clearings, thirty
feet wide, going east and west, in straight lines and controls
going north and south, and these lines are always kept clear
of vegitation.

Will Ontario Start Pulp Mill?

A. plan, for operating a pulp mill as a provincial enterprise has
n receiving the serious consideration of the Ontario Cabinet for
rast three months, it became known only yesterday. The estab-
ment of such a plant as a publicly owned and operated concern is
to be by no means improbable. According to the plan under
sideration, the mill would be established in Nipigon district at
n e point to which power could be, transmitted from the new Hydro-
tric power development plant at Nipigon Falls.
While neither the details of the plan nor the general policy has
een decided upon, it would occasion no surprise in Government
»s if a favorable conclusion was reached. The plan is unique in
it would be the first time an Ontario Government had ever un-
taken the utilization of the province’s pulp resources for the pro-
ition of paper as a publicly-owned enterprise. If decided upon it
obable that the large timber limit in the district chosen will be
side for the project. .
The Nipigon Hydro-Electric plant will have a surplus of power
able for some years. A Government-owned pulp mill, supporters
the idea argue, would furnish a good customer and the basis for a
ally satisfactory contract for power. Another important fea-
_ ture from the Government’s standpoint is the results obtained in a
pl ant of this nature would provide the means of ascertaining with far
_ more definiteness ‘than is now the éase, what remuneration the prov-
x ince is entitled to in return for timber and pulp-wood concessions
ted to. private enterprises.

“Will Get Pulpwood Supply From Quebec

A guarantee of an adequate supply of pulp wood for making its
ious lines of paper was assured recently when negotiations which
ve been pending for several months were concluded at Montreal
which the Hammermill Paper Company, or Erie, Pa., acquired the
imber lands and equipment of the Matane Lumber and Develop-
nent. Company in the province of Quebec.

‘The deal includes sawmills, complete lumbering equipment, log-
¢ railroads, considerable development work already done, floating >
ber and 133,000 acres of heavily wooded spruce land. As the Ma-
> Company had not yet operated very extensively, and had worked
only for lumber, ee for pulp wood, the tract is nearly all virgin
: timber.

The property is located on the lower central part of the Gaspe
ninsula, south of the St. Lawrence and does not have riparian
tage on the main river, but is tapped by considerable reaches of

atane and Cap Chat rivers. With the property the Hammer-
ompany acquired 13,000,000 feet of logs in the river which will
be utilized at once. Officials of the company state that no
have been made for immediately utilizing the standing timber.

of Fort Frances, Ont., have come to an agreement regarding

one unit of the pulp mill of at least 50 tons daily capacity in operation
not later than the first of October, 1921, and will continue construc-
tion work uninterruptedly until the mills mentioned in the agreement
of 1914 shall be fully completed, subject to the direction of the Minis-
ter of Lands and Forests as to the erection of the paper mill.”

The mill called for by the agreement of 1914 was a mi]] with an |
estimated daily capacity of 100 tons. There will be sufficient power “i
at Kenora for the operation of a 50-ton unit and the intention is that |
the power from the White Dog Rapids shall be available by the time
the second unit of the mill is ready for operation, by which time the
English River limits will have been put up for tender.

“The agreement between Mr. Backus and his companies of the
one part and the town of Kenora of the other part provides among
other things for the erection of a pulp mill of at least 200 tons cap-
acity at Kenora. In order to supply the material for such 2 mill the ©
Crown agrees to offer at public competition the pulpwood and timber
on an area comprising a part of the English River watershed, being
substantially the area that was offered for competition but for which”
no tenders. were received in 1915. The company on its part agrees,
that it will tender for the said area in the terms of the condition of
sale, one of which will be that the timber and pulp wood on the area
will be manufactured at Kenora, and if the company’s tender is ac-
cepted the companies undertake that they will enlarge their mills at
Kenora to at least the capacity called for by their agreement with the
town of Kenora and will also accept their present agreement with the
Government as a satisfactory agreement within the meaning of the
provisions of the agreement with the town of Kenora, which requires ©
the town of Kenora to assist in securing from the Government addi-
tional timber for the operation of a pulp mill of 200-ton capacityy. The
company also agrees to extend their pulp and paper mills beyond
the capacity called for by their agreement with the town of Kenora,

“as they may from time to time be required by the Minister of Lands
and Forests so to do, having regard to the quantity of pulp wood
that will be available for the said mills.”

“Under the terms of the agreement between Mr. Backus and his
companies of the one part and the town of Kenora of the other part,
in addition to the requirements in respect of the pulp and paper mills,
the company binds itself to place the sawmill in Kenora formerly —
operated and owned by the Rat Portage Lumber Company in run-
ning order so that operations will be resumed at that mill during the ©
season of 1921.

“The companies also agree to purchase the power plant of the
town of Kenora at the price of $335,000, and assume the liabilities of
the town under its agreement with the Maple Leaf Flour Mills Com-
pany under which the town is furnishing power to that company at —
a heavy loss each year.”

The Government have also made a stipulation that any portion
of the newsprint produced must be available for sale to Canadian
publishers at the instruction of the Government. The amount is left
open, but the Government say they could order 100 per cent. to Can-
adian publishers under the agreement.

By their present limits and mills and the water-power privilege
given by the Government the Backus interests are placed in a posi-
tion of superiority in tendering on the English River limits. They |
will have their mills at Kenora. when the limits are put up. :

Only Fifty Years Pulpwood in Sight

The resolution of U. S. Senator Underwood, calling for the ap- —
pointment of a Presidential Commission to visit Canada with a view
to securing the abolition of the restrictions imposed upon the expor- |
tation of pulpwood from the Crown lands of several of the provinces,
was brought about by organized agitation and paid propaganda, aided |
by various newspapers, who had been led to believe erroneously, Be
the restrictions complained of were responsible for the high price an
insufficient supply of newsprint paper in the United States during the —
early part of 1919, said Edward Beck of Montreal, in a recent address |
in’ Toronto.

“Many Canadians have assumed that, with the failure of the
Underwood resolution, the issue is a dead one and that nothing more
will be heard about it,” said Mr. Beck. “Such, however, is not the
case. The interests which were instrumental im bringing about the
agitation which resulted in the passage of the Underwood resolution
are still actively at work. Perhaps they are encouraged by the know-
ledge that in all human probability the next occupant of the White
alouee will be a newspaper publisher, who may, presumably, be ex-

pected to look at the subject more or less from a newspaper publisher’s

point of view.”

Mr. Beck showed that the restrictions on the exportation of pulp-
~ wood were perfectly justifiable on national grounds and that, in spite
of allegations to the contrary, they violate no contract and deprive
no one of any duly acquired right.

“The chief argument of those who are challenging these regu-
lations is that, it is alleged, they unlawfully abrogate vested rights
and inflict upon the lessees heavy financial losses. They contend that
the right to a renewal, specified in the licenses, is tantamount to a per-
manent grant, which cannot be affected by any regulations subse-
quently made. We, in Canada, maintain that the leases, give the
lessees no permanent rights, but are merely annual grants with the
right to a renewal upon certain conditions being fulfilled, and that
the right of regulation by the State is the first of these conditions.
The Supreme Court of the United States itself has held that the
State cannot contract away its powers of regulation.

“The real question at issue is not as to whether this material
shall be available for the use of American consumers, but whether it
shall go forth in the form of raw pulpwood or shall be put through at
least one stage of manufacture in Canada.

“Tn considering the causes that have led to the present agitation
- for the opening up of Canada’s Crown lands pulpwood areas to foreign
exploitation, the question naturally arises as to why action has been
‘delayed until this late day, after the regulations have been in effect
for over a decade practically without opposition. The answer lies in
the fact, abundantly evidenced, that American paper manufacturers
have used up their commercial available pulpwood, especially in the
eastern states, almost to the point of exhaustion, without making
reasonable provision for its renewal, and so are ‘confronted with the
alternative of. getting their raw material from Canada, or of trans-
planting their mills to the Pacific Coast, where large stands of pulp-
wood are said to be still available.

“Tt is on record,” added Mr. Beck, “that the United States Con-

gress is at last becoming aroused, and the initial steps have been
~ taken which, if vigorously followed up, will ensure a permanent sup-
ply of wood in the future, and that without encroaching upon their

neighbors’ preserves.

; “Tf” he said, “I have unduly stressed the plight of our neighbors
asa result of their prodigal and unwise use of their forest resources, it
is only for the purpose of bringing to your notice the condition of
Canada.” ‘

B He then went on to say that, even taking the most optimistic
view, the pulpwood supplies in Quebec will not last more than 50 years

unless steps are taken to replenish them. Ontario’s supply is calcu-
lated to last 50 years, while New Brunswick has at present no more

than a thirty-year supply. Although British Columbia still has a
large supply of pulpwood, much of it is commercially inaccessible.
“Clearly,” he concluded, “it is time for the Canadian Government
to take action, for at present it is only individual firms who are enough
- interested in the situation to make any move whatever.”

What Canada Can Learn From Scandinavia
Geo. F. Steele, manager of the Canadian Export Paper Co., Mont-

. real, and J. A. Bothwell of the Brompton Pulp and Paper Co., East

recently returned from an extended business trip to
Mr. Steele speaks highly of the splendid system of
_ forestry in Norway and Sweden and-is of the opinion that Canada
_ might well take a leaf out of their book for the protection and per-
petuation of the forest resources of the Dominion.
In the light of what has happened, in large measure in the United
States, where the timber situation, as Mr. Steele put it, has become
pitiable, contrasted with the results of scientific forest husbandry, as
he was able to view them, in these Scandinavian domains, where they

have been husbanding the forests for 40 years, he characterized the
~ methods pursued in Canada, as being calculated to bring about a bank-
ruptcy of forestry resources, within a measurable time. In fact, he
said, this was inevitable, unless some far-sighted policy of conserva-
tion were devised. And he considered it a statesmanlike move that
a plan should be promulgated in Quebec, by which a delegation of
experts would be commissioned to visit Norway, Sweden and Finland,
in order that some immediate scheme might be evolved for the appli-
cation of a scientific forest policy to this province.

Sweden is one of the largest exporters of sawn lumber in the
world, and Mr. Steele was impressed by the array of great saw mills

‘Angus, Que.,

- which line the shores of their navigable rivers. The pulp and paper

industry is also heavily exercised in the country, and there are many
and efficient mills managed by technical men of the
highest standing, and what Mr. Steele was specially impressed with
was the number of new experiments being conducted for the improve-
nent of the industry. It is conceded, he says, that Sweden can boast
of the most highly trained corps of forest engineers in the world,

The care and intelligence displayed in the conduct of the
and the cutting of the timber in Sweden is in marked contrast to the
in vogue on this continent. The regulations governing selective cut
ting are carried on under the advice of a committee, appointed for
each district, and next in authority comes the forestry department of
each company who have full control in the selection of the timber
to be cut by the operators. Sweden is the largest exporter in_ the
world of raw materials for paper-making. Yo
In Finland, Mr. Steele noticed, that there were several larg
modern pulp mills in course of erection, and that others were be
projected. In common with other countries it experienced a sho
of coal, and he saw hundreds of thousands of cords of white birch v
to be used for industrial fuel in that country. In the handling o
output of pulp and paper, through one central agency or burea
land has evolved an intelligent system. The chairman of this bures
is the Minister of Trade and Commerce for the country. E.

Substitute for Spruce in Pulp

“It has become axiomatic in the paper industry that there are no
substitutes for spruce wood in making paper pulp,” writes Harry A.
Mount, in Popular Mechanics. “Thousands of dollars have been
spent by manufacturers in'an effort to find some material to replace |
the rapidly diminishing supply of spruce, without result. And so |
they have received with a great deal of skepticism the recent an-
nouncement that a satisfactory paper can be made from the saw
grass of Florida, and that a practical method of production has been
developed. Recently a company has been organized, however, and
plans are now going forward for building a pulp mill with an initial
capacity of 25 tons a day in the saw-grass belt.

“Engineers connected with the enterprise say that a preliminary
survey reveals that there is in Florida nearly 6,000,000 acres of saw
grass. This can be harvested twice a year, yielding 20 tons of paper
per acre to each cutting. It would seem, therefore, that Florida might
eventually furnish paper to the whole world, for it is claimed all
grades of the commodity, from building papers and cardboard to
the finest writing papers and vellums, can be made from the grass.

Mr. Phillips was born in Ke-

beng engaged on some of the
most important contracts. This
was in 1863. After attending the
schools of Kenora and_ latterly
McGill University for a couple of
years, Mr. Phillips took a posi-
tion with D. L. Mather, who was
taking out a large quantity of
ties at Vermillion Bay, fifty miles
east of Kenora, and had a tie mill at this point. He started in by
spending a season at river driving, and then went to work in the
mill. His next position was with the Rat Portage Lumber Co.,
where he was engaged in both the sawmill and “the planing mill.
Later he went into ae office, and afterwards devoted his attention to
the selling end. After three years with this organization he decided
to go further west, and on reaching Vancouver became associated with
the Burley Lumber Co., with whom he remained for three years, both
buying and selling. Subsequently Mr. Phillips became identified
with the Imperial Timber Trading Co., and was a year and a half in
the sales department. Herbert Timms and D. M. Colquhoun were

Advises Watchful Waiting Attitude
Mr. John W. McClure, Memphis, Tenn., President of the Na-
tional Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association, recently returned from
_a several weeks’ trip to Europe. In speaking of the lumber situation
in the United Kingdom, Mr. McClure said:

“Conditions generally abroad are unsettled, disturbed and ab-
normal, politically, socially and commercially. The reactions from

the restraints and intense efforts necessitated by war conditions -have
resulted in a reckless disregard of laws and government, especially on
the part of the so-called working classes. Until these conditions

‘compensation, “an honest day’s, work for an honest day’s pay” still
- governs and is still just as sure in its rewards and punishments as it
has ever been in the history of human affairs, then will it become
_ possible ‘to guage the future with that degree of confidence which is
~ necessary to the conduct of successful business.

“At the present time, the consumption of hardwoods abroad has
reached a minimum which might almost be called nil. The supplies
on hand are ample to take care of present requirements, although
they might be considered small as compared with normal conditions.
In other words, present stocks would be consumed within afew
months under normal demand, but at present rate of consumption,

‘are ample for as many years, if present conditions continue. No new
commitments can be made with any certainty of the future. Condi-
tions are entirely too unsettled to permit of speculation. Financial

conditions are compelling a liquidation of stocks on hand rather than
vermitting an investment in supplies for the future. The volume of
buying is very small and restricted to absolute necessity.

“Under such conditions prices are extremely sensitive to the
slightest circumstances. : Merchants are inclined to hold prices firm
and would dislike to experience any sudden and radical declines.
Many of them are holding their stocks rather than making conces-
sions in price. However, the arrival of low quotations intended to

“The great difference in exchange and the fluctuations in
change rates are of course having a marked effect upon the lu
industry abroad. What little lumber is being consumed in U
Kingdom markets is coming from stocks mostly imported —
the ‘big slump in sterling exchange. Although ruling prices co

Now is Good Time to Buy Lumber

The Rimouski Lumber Company, Limited, Rimouski,
which J. H. Poulin is manager, writes the
follows:

Word has come to us of a reduction in the wholesale prices of
Jumber by American manufacturers of 20%; that every railroad siding —
in the South is piled high with lumber that cannot be moved at present |
prices, and that yards are very slow to put in any stocks.

This condition obtains almost in ev ery part of North America,
with the yardman buying only from day to day requirements, feeling bY
positive of a great saving in money if he will only wait until the |
manufacturer becomes tired of holding out for a i" price, or is forced —
to liquidate stocks to meet loan payments. |

As we have said previously, there is no reason for a stampede ‘
to sell. Ford reduced the price of his cars, presumably to sell more
Fords; but it is a question if he has not made another mistake.

If we can judge from the hundreds of enquiries coming into this |
office from all centres, which comprises the New England States, New |
York, Pennsylvania, ‘Michigan, Ohio, New Jersey, and the Eastern
Canadian provinces, there is really a demand for much lumber at pre- |
sent prices; but invariably orders come in with the request to rush,
which substantiates our statement that the yards are living on daily
stocks with nothing piled ahead.

It is a good time to buy. Prices are somewhat easier than they
were some ‘weeks ago, but there is no likelihood of their changing |
except to a renewed high level by December. Canadian manufac-
turers fearing a drop have curtailed their cuts some 65% under last
year’s cuts, and when the spring demand comes in for lumber, with not
sufficient stock on hand to fill orders, there will be a repetition of this ——
past spring’s rush for lumber “at any price.” If the retail man is put- |
ting up a little game of his own, he is fooling himself. Everybody is ||
selling or wants to sell now. Our advice to the consumer or retailer is. a |
to buy while he can.

It is always a good policy to buy when everybody is selling,
as experience has shown that the buyer has always reaped a good
profit. We feel satisfied that the demand is sufficiently strong to sup-
port prices at their present levels, with every indication of growing —
stronger and permitting of a higher scale. The law of supply and
demand is always with us and must be respected and no amount of |
personal opinion can hold back the wave of necessity. Let the buyer |
screw up a little courage and stock up. Wise manufacturers are not
sacrificing anything and their little wait will work out to their ultimate
benefit.

Now Operating Their Own Mill oY

The Buffalo Hardwood Lumber Co., of Buffalo, N. Y., have com-_
menced the operation of their own mill at Forestport, N. XY; |
month they sawed the first log and they have been sawing steadily At
since on birch, beech and maple. The company expects to run this
mill for a number of years and announce that they are in a position |
to duplicate shipments and take care of the trade from year to year —
without change. J. B. Wall is the president of the B uffalo Hardwood Wy
Lumber Co., T. H. Wall, ie aa and M. M. Wall, secretary.

Will Visit Canada to Extend Work a |

H. R. Isherwood, secretary-treasurer of the Concatenated Oded i
of Hoo-Hoo, states that the annual meeting, which was recently, held a ||
in St. Louis, was one of the most interesting and harmonious ever
conducted in the interests of the Order, and that the numerous ideas i
that were adopted will place the Hoo-Hoo upon a basis that will com- i
mand the support and respect of lumber and _ allied industries ae
large. Mr. Isherwood. states that he intends to visit the principal -
points in Canada in the near future that they may have the oppor-_
tunity of learning the new features and benefits to be derived from —
supporting and promoting the principals. of the: organization.

Hardwood prices per thousand feet, according to Washington a ;
vices, have averaged higher than softwoods, both ‘of first quality, since | ;
1895, except for one year (1905) but this has not always been the case.
From 1855 to 1895 softwoods cost more on the average, wholesale, in
eastern markets, than hardwoods; up to: 1870 being nearly double in

value per thousand feet. Since 1895 the hardwoods have led in price,
in 1919 being about 10% higher than softwoods and early in 1920 40%
higher, according to a recent table of average prices published by the
Forest Service.

Mr. Wilson Outlines Quebec Timber Laws

Ellwood Wilson, head of the
lorestry Department of the Lau-
rentide Company, was one of the
principal speakers at the annual
meeting of the Society for the
Protection of New Hampshire
Forests, held at New London, N.
H., recently. Mr. Wilson ad-
dressed the conference on the
timber laws of the Province of
Quebec and gave a comprehen-
sive outline of these laws and
their relation to the recent con-
troversy over pulpwood restric-

Government. Mr. Wilson’s
speech was as follows:

“All of the provinces of Can-
ada, with the exception of Alber-
ta and Saskatchewan, own their
own natural resources, These two

provinces, in return for certain
Elwood Wilson, Grand’Mere, P. Q. grants of money, have turned
their natural resources over to

the Dominion Government. In Quebec, all mines, water powers and
forests belong entirely to the Provincial Government, and the Domin-
ion Government has nothing whatever to say as to how they shall be
utilized or administered.

“So far as the forests are concerned, the original idea of the Gov-
ernment was that the timber should be sold to fnheaien and, after
the timber had been removed, settlers Should be allowed to come in
and occupy the lands using them for farming purposes.

“In order to encourage settlers, a minimum diameter limit for
cutting trees was fixed for the lumbermen, with the idea that enough

he timber would be left to enable the settler to build his house, barns "

and fences and also to provide a certain amount of pulpwood which
he could sell to help him tide over the time during which he was
clearing up his plot of land. As time went on and it was found that
there were many sections of the province which were not fit for agri-
culture, the Government decided to continue the diameter limit so
that the forests should not be entirely removed and revenue cease.
When the Government realized that it had plenty of timber and water
powers easily accessible, it decided, in order to encourage the pulp
and paper industry, to forbid the export of unmanufactured wood. By
-unmanufactured wood is meant pulpwood or wood which has had the
bark taken off ready for shipment. In order to comply with the law,
wood must at least be made into lumber or pulp:

ae Much Non- Agricultural Land.

“As a very large part of the Province of Quebec is non-agri-
cultural land, and can never be used for anything except forests, it is
a wise move on the part of the Government to make every effort to
conserve its raw material and to build up an industry based on the
great natural resource of the forests. In doing so the Government
was entirely within its rights and should, by all means, be eee:
ed and encouraged in such a policy. It would be very foolish,
deed, for the Quebec Government or any of the Canadian unten
ments to allow unmanufactured wood to cross the border only to
build up mills, at a great distance from the forests, greatly to the
detriment of the local ‘populations,

“Licenses to cut timber on Crown Lands have always been made

for one year only, and must be renewed annually. Objections to re-
newal are not raised so long as the regulations are complied with.
The law, however, distinctly says that the license can be cancelled at
any time for an infraction of the regulations, and owners have on
occasion been warned that if they did not conform to the regulations
their licenses would be cancelled.
“License holders must pay ground rental of eight dollaars per
square mile a year and at the time of cutting the timber must pay the
rate of stumpage fixed by the Government. All surveys must be
made at the cost of:the licensee, who is also responsible for fire pro-
tection and for the carrying out of the timber cutting regulations,

“By the foregoing it can be seen that the Quebec Government
has acted in a wise and far- seeing manner in order to protect its
forest resources, to build up the industries dependent on them, and
do all it possibbly can for the general welfare of its people.

Foreigners Bought Timber Licenses.

*, “Americans and other foreigners have, from time to time, pur-
chased timber licenses and have never been disturbed in the exercise
of their rights. At the time the law was amended, requiring the
manufacture of timber in Canada, there was practically no opposi-

“Freehold Jands, that is lands which have been ue ou rig it

ie, B. rerio & Company, of Saginaw, Michigan have just
prought out a new horizontal band resaw which is “adapted to a
wider range of work than any other machine.of this type now on the
"market. Although it was primarily designed for the resawing of
box shooks or stock cut to length, it will resaw long stock sugh as is
led for in general planing mill practice, including bevel sid-
a The feed works can be arranged so that several pieces of narrow
stock can be sawn at the same'time, each piece being provided with
an individual support. This arrangement makes it possible to great-
ly increase the output on this particular class of work.

This horizontal resaw is built either as a single or twin machine
d when: built in the former way, the saw wheels can be located
above or below the feeding bed. If at some future date, after a single

Oiershon Hopper Feed Band Resaw

-resaw has been installed, a demand for a twin machine should develop,
_ the single machine can be converted into a twin by furnishing the,
eee Aary parts to make the change. The machine is sO constructed
_ that it is entirely feasible to do this.

Es With the machine built as a twin, it is possible to either feed one
piece at a time from the hopper, sawing: it into three pieces, or two
_ pieces may be fed one on top of the other, each piece being sawn in
_ the middle. The saw wheels are of the web and arm type, fitted with
_ weldless steel locomotive tire rims. It is equipped with crowding
wheels or rotary saw guides in place of the stationary type that is
{ ely used on machines of this kind. These guarantee a maxi-
mum output with a minimum sawkerf.

Box shooks or stock cut to length is fed from the hopper by means
of: 2: patented feeding device making use of a single feeding plate
~ which. is quickly adjusted for handling stock varying in length from
_ 7-in. to 48-in. This mechanism feeds the stock from the hopper into
_ the feed rolls, keeping the ends of the same butted, and thus main-
taining a continuous feed.

The feed works consist of four -driven rolls, two being adjust-
~ ably mounted in the bed of the machine and working in connection
with two sets of patented sectional driven press rolls located directly
above the bed rolls and provided with a vertical adjustment to suit
_ the thickness of the stock being sawn, each section being positively
_ driven by means of spur gears. This construction makes it possible
- to feed several pieces of unmatched stock placed side by side in the
hopper, even though they may vary somewhat in thickness.

_. All exposed parts are well guarded and controlled levers con-
_ -veniently located. This is a self-contained machine, all — workin:
_ parts are mounted on the one bed plate and arranged with a view of
_ having them most accessible. =

Bi An Analogy in New York State

ae “A situation analogous to that in the Eastern Provinces of Can-
ada exists in the State of New York, where the State has bought
_ more than a million arces of timberland, and has shut it up altogether
against exploitation of any sort or kind. Tracts of land have been
~ condemned by the State and their owners have been compelled to sell
them. Only recently, the very company carrying on the strongest
_ agitation for access to Quebec pulpwood has sold a tract of pulpwood
- to the State of New York and now no timber can be cut from it. It
vould seem much more reasonable for this company and others in
York State to carry on an agitation requiring the State of New
to allow them to cut timber in the forest reserves before they
gin to agitate for the removal of the manufacturing clause from
he Quebec law.

“Tf New York has the right to take up timber lands and forbid
y cutting whatever on them, the Province of Quebec certainly has
e right to say what timber shall be cut and how it shall be manu-
tured on its own land.

on boas the United States takes some steps to adopt forestry
I iethods in ake utilization of its timber and to frame some national

65

and State policies for the proper conservation and exploitation of its
resources, it seems hardly right that, having wasted its own birth-
right, it should now atempt to utilize Canadian forests in the same
way.

“Canada has gone far ahead along forestry lines and she certainly
deserves all praise and encouragement. Much of this progress, has,
of late years, been due to the efforts of the pulp and paper industry,
which has organized co-operative fire protection systems, has intro-
duced aircraft for fire patrol and forest reconnaissance and mapping,
has commenced reforestation on a commercial scale and has con-
tributed largely to educational work.

Conserving the Interests of the North
At the annual meeting of the Temiskaming Associated Boards,
of Trade, which was held recently at Timmins, several important res-
olutions were considered. One of them was to have the Ontario Goy-
ernment turn over a certain timber area to a northern commission.
It would sell the timber and the money would be used to build a high-
way. Another resolution related to forest conservation and suggest-
ed that a committee be named to meet the timber men, and go into
the matter of conserving the resources of the north. When all data
on the matter has been secured, it would be submitted to the Ontario
Government with the suggestion that the recommendations made be
embodied in the law for conservation.

Ten Thoughts for the Worker
I. Be Fair—to your employer, your associates and your-

self. By word, work: and thought be as “straight” as you
want them to be.

II. Be Dependable. If you agree to a thing, either defi-
nitely or by understanding, stick to your word.°

III. Control Your Anger—against associates and foreman.
You’re not always right; others are not always wrong. Don’t
fly off the handle.

IV. Be Broadminded. Don’t always think evil of your
employers, your foreman, or your fellow-workers.. Narrow-
ness in yourself always inspires narrowness in others.

V. Take Full Share of Blame. Don’t “pass the buck” for
even as you pass it, so shall it be passed unto you.

VI. Respect Property, Rights and Feelings. Use your
tools and surroundings as you’d want your home treated.
Don’t say or do things that you yourself would resent.

VII. Do an Honest Day’s Work, for an honest day’s pay.
Don’t shirk your duty nor skimp your production, if you ex-
pect to honestly take a full week’s wages. Greater produc-
tion means lower prices and depends on the individual. Do
your share.

VIII. Be Conscientious in Quality. Don’t pass work
along that is not well done, even though it costs you a little
more to do it right. Someone suffers for your carelessness,
and you have to pay in the end.

IX. Train Yourself mentally and physically, for bigger
jobs and better service. Have as you aim the increasing of
your capacity, ability and value. Set a high goal and plug for
it.

X, Take Frequent Inventory of Yourself. See if you are
progressing in value to yourself, your family and your em-
ployer. Compare your present mental and physical equip-
ment with that of six months ago. Find the obstacles to
growth and overcome them. —National Items.

‘Ontario and the East

There is no special activity in the lumber line and business on
the whole is rather quiet, although some wholesalers report that sales
have picked up a little during the past few days. The hardwood mar-
ket has been pretty hard hit by the woodworking industries which
consume large quantities, not buying at the present time. Automo-
bile concerns are practically idle and, with few exceptions, piano and
phonograph plants, wagon works, implement manufacturers and
others are adopting a policy of recession and state they have enough
stock on hand to last until well into the new year and will wait de-
velopments before loading up. The result is that there has been quite
a drop in prices on some lines and there is said to be larger stock
of-dry hard wood in the hands of the manufacturers and wholesalers
than there was at this season last year when the requisitions were
much keener and far more in number than they are today and indus-
trial plants were busy.

How far the wave of price cutting, which is now sweeping the
country, will affect lumber remains to be seen. When values in every
known commodity began to ascend about a year or eighteen months
after the outbreak of the war, lumber was one of the last products
to aviate and naturally it may be the last to come down. Wages have
not fallen, but on the contrary are from five to ten dollars stiffer per
Some districts report
men very scarce and others declare there is an abundance of help,
‘but that it is still very restless and far from being as efficient as it
might be.

At a number of points along the Canadian National Railway
there is a decided dearth of men to get out the shipments. Most of

’ the lumber companies are not putting as many crews in the bush as

last year and there is considerable talk regarding a decreased cut.
Some firms in the Georgian Bay district have only half the number
of camps that they had last season at this time. Most of the sawmills

_ will close down during the next week or ten days and whether there

will then be more men available for the woods remains to be seen.
The favorable weather is creating a lively building campaign in
some centres but with prices easing off in other communities, builders
for anticipated further reduction in forest
Whether these will come or not is problematical and one
man’s forecast concerning the future
that of another. The disturbance caused by the recent advance in
freight rates has tended to upset business and certain firms are holding

a back until the result of the recent judgment at Ottawa is finally de-

cided, or waiting for the five per cent, reduction which will go into
effect at the beginning of the year.
The ordinary lumbermen is in a quandary, not only in respect

. to the probable demand for next year but also over-production costs.

The pulp companies are taking out enormous quantities of pulpwood
to meet the existing strong demand for the finished product and are
paying exceptionally high wages, which they are enabled to do by
reason of the shortage in paper, but the same state of affairs does not
characterize the lumber arena, and if producing costs go too high,
lumber operators fear that they will not be able to make a profit on
s cut.

[astern representatives of B. C. firms Heart that the freight rate

‘increase has not yet been adjusted and, while certain mills are assum-

ing the extra charge others are disposed to go only part way and
not a few consumers think they should go all “the way. White pine
is holding firm and, for the better orades, ‘this is especially true.
Other soft woods are a little easier and the general trend and. tone of
the market is suffering to some extent by reason of the radical reduc-
tion on southern stock, The car situation is very good but there is
not nearly the amount of lumber on wheels that there was a few
months ago. Not much improvement is looked for in conditions until
after the first of the year and things generally become a little more
settled.

Lumbermen are as a whole disposed te accept the present situation
philosophically and believe that, when readjustment does take place,
there will be a stabilization of values and a firm, basic tone to the
whole merchandizing business. After every period of activity there is
inevitably a reaction and last spring, not only were the highest prices
ever known being paid for all offerings, but a premium was, in many
cases, put on on top of that in order to secure material to sell. Now
a change has come over the scene. The demand from the United
States has fallen off decidedly and local consumption is below normal

at the present juncture. There is a disposition to mark time aad ay Ni
developments. Those with heavy stocks, who can afford to hold
are confident they will be able to get rid of them in time at a
value, but smaller operators are not in such a tranquil frame of mis
and have been offering car lots at cut prices in order to unload. T
situation is rather a complex one and, instead of the market being
seller’s one, it has veered around to the side of the buyer. 4

the clamor for houses is going on steadily and rents are ase

In regard to the freight rates, a western Jumbermat

“The very commendable action taken lately i retail lumbe
dealers of Chicago in announcing reductions in prices o! rot
from 16 to 30 per cent. under those that prevailed in the early part
of the year should have a beneficial effect in convincing re
builders that the price of lumber need be no deterrent a eeisings
and also should encourage dealers in other building soi to do
likewise.

The lumber industry generally has come to ‘emia "ata thar
ever before that it can gain and hold the sympathy and good wil iI
of the public if it tells the public frankly the facts about the lumber
business? It has long been the custom for lumbermen to stand aloof
from the public, so far as publicity was concerned ; and as a result the
people frequently have been mis-informed and misled through pub-
licity from sources unfriendly to the lumber industry. A

“Even at the highest level that has obtained the retaik’ price of
lumber has not really been the retardment to building that has been
charged—but the public was made to believe it was. Now that the
facts are being told and the people shown that lumber prices are
from 16 to 30 per cent. lower than those of the early spring, the lum-
ber industry no longer can, be charged with retarding the b 1ilding
programme by holding out for unreasonable prices. Bee. s

upon making new sales at current prices. There is some demand for
low grade lumber, for the box makers are more or less busy; but the
upper grades are moving very slowly. :
Generally, the softwoods have shown further declines in prices
lately, and in the case of yellow pine this is reflected in the open quo-
tations of a number of mills whose lists have been’ somewhat above
the current level. Many mills are suspending operations in the Doug-
las fir regions, a late telegram estimating that one-third of the mills
are down. This message further. predicts that only 50 per cent. of
the plants will be in operation two weeks hence unless the situation
improves.
The freight rate situation is one uncertain feature, and the parts
of the country that are placed at an increased disadvantage are hope-
ful of a readjustment. That these sections are feeling the effects of
the greater increase in their delivery costs is indicated by statistics
of new orders for the two chief competing woods, southern pine and
western fir. The demand for both fell off immediately following the
advance in rates; but, while the decrease in new business received by
the mill men of the far west has continued, there has been a steady
increase in the amount of new. business going to the southern pine
mills-since the last week in August.

Great Britain

Trade generaliy is quiet and there are no particular developments
' of interest. . Transactions are for the most part limited and no de-
velopment of the spruce situation has emerged. Trading in this de-
scription is very difficult, equally in regard to shipments coming for-
ward and spot goods. Fresh imports have the preference over yarded
stocks on account of their better condition. A large portion of the
spruce imported by the Government is badly conditioned, and the
sizes are not generally attractive.

Several shipments of Canadian pine have arrived, and during
the short time that remains of the shipping season no doubt other
consignments will come to hand. These goods will all be required
before the opening of next season. The demand for pine is not strong
at the moment, except for first quality, but a fair trade is passing
in lower grade deals and sidings. Values remain firm and are im-
proving.

Arrivals at Liverpool of birch planks, from Halifax and St. John,

have dwindled down, and some headway is being made with yarded

stocks. Values are elastic, and widely differing quotations are eti-

countered. A very low price was paid at the auction sales in London,

and some cheap wood has also been sold from stocks in Manchester

and Liverpool. The demand, however, is still inactive, and the pros-
pects of improvement as regards chair making requirefments are not
at present encouraging.

Market Correspondence

Quebec Report Shipping Rates Have Gone Up?
The bulk of timber and sawn lumber has been shipped from the
St. Lawrence, including the port of Quebec. There are only a few
parcels remaining for movement overseas that will be shipped by the
Manchester Line steamers. In the meantime and contrary to the ex-

- pectation of the export trade, freights have again ‘soared, the tramp —
steamers raising the rates from 180 to the former figure of 200 shill-

ings. These conditions have come as a disappointing surprisee to
the shippers, who felt certain of a further drop in freight rates during
the last months of St. Lawrence navigation, instead of a rise. The
Imperial Government has arranged with steamers to carry the vast
quantity of lumber that it purchased during the war, and is stored
along the lower St. Lawrence. Though there isa good two months’

season for these shipments to take place from the points of storage

in the lower St. Lawrence, it is probable that they will go by the
port of St. John, N. B.
The recent storm, which had a wind velocity from 65 to 70 miles

_-am-hour, struck the district of Quebec September 30th and continued

all the following day. It caused considerable damage to property
in the city, though shipping escaped, with the exception of the found-
ering of two small coasting schooners in the lower St. Lawrence.
It also caused the booms to break away along the Quebec waterfront
coves, and scatter the timber there secured. The scene after the storm
beggars description. The large storage of waney pine was driven
by the rise of the tide and velocity of the wind all along the beach
from Sillary Cove to the Quebec Bridge, and upon the public road-
way. Timber was also driven up and piled on the wharves. The

storm blowing from the south forced the timber around by all the

The strike of shipwrights in the Mersey-side repairing yards h

The cost of steamers is gradually getting lower, too, especially,
of the “tramp” type; 100s. to 110s. from Swedish ports is too much.
Next first-open-water charterers ought to be able to do much better
than this, especially if they are not in too much of a hurry to st

cargoes, and each of them is getting a good supply of new construc-

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWOR

soaring more and more every year, is due to the demand for wood

and competition of the dealers, together with the scarcity of this
class of help. The whole thing sooner or later must be closely studied
and remedied or the price wil) go even higher and cause pulpwood to
become equal in value to its weight in gold.

The Quebec correspondent of the “Canada Lumberman,” having
made diligent enquiries into the cause for the high price of labor,
has come to the conclusion that the jobbers, with the consent of the
pulp and paper manufacturers, are in a great measure to blame. For

example, during divine service in a parish some miles distant from

Quebec, the priest announced that a meeting would be held after
service on the outside. This gathering took place when a pulpwood
_ jebber addressed the people and said he required 35 men to go into
_ the woods and cut pulpwood, for which he would pay $8.00 per cord.
This is a small parish and some 25 young men abandoned their farm
work to cut wood. Two men, it is said, can cut three cords of pulp-
wood per day, for which $8.00 per cord or $24.00 would be earned
daily. It is the scarcity of labor in proportion to the demand that
is responsible for such high wages. The remedy is to import help
from abroad that will make pulpwood for less than half the price and

4 so greatly reduce the cost to the consumer.

Eastern Logging Production Will be Cut Down
Lumber conditions at St. John remain absolutely stagnant at
present. There have been no changes in prices during the last two
weeks and there are no anticipated changes which one can look for-

_, ward to. Certainly, very little logging will be done this coming win-

ter from this section of the province. It is also understood that very
little, if any, logging will be done on the north shore of New Bruns-

- wick; in fact, all over this country few plans are being made to get
The brokers, who at this time of the year usually
make contracts with the portable mill men for winter sawing, are
refusing to do so and at present practically no contracts -have been
made at any price. :
The cost of logging, if the price the operators ask is granted,
would be on an average of $3.00 per M more than last year. There-
fore, on the falling market and with great uncertainty ahead, it is

deemed unwise for anyone to go into the woods to get logs under these
conditions. The only safe solution to restoring prices and steadying

the market is that as little logging and manufacturing should be done

_ this winter as possible. Very few contracts for logs have been granted

and there is not much buying going on.

‘to anyone. The mills at St. John are waiting to see just how wages
will turn and how the provision market is going to go. At the

moment it is weakening and everything looks as if there would be

further reductions in prices all away along the line. Sugar, flour
and grain of all kinds are weaker than they were two weeks ago and
everything points to further reduction in quotations. It is said that
all that is holding the prices together and stabilizing conditions are
the banks. Should the banking fraternity withdraw its financial aid,
it would cause a panic in quick reduction of prices.

As low as $32.00 has been paid for rotary cut deals during the last
two weeks, and in fact, it is said that some have been sold for less
money. At these prices no portable men will go in the woods. Five
mills at St. John are still in operation, all sawing 3 inch deals, the
majority of which are from large American logs and are unsold. The
specifications of these deals are excellent and are much better than
anything produced throughout the provinces.
Locally, the factory business is good and a steady demand for
finished lumber and ordinary lumber for repair work continues active
up to the present time. The outlook for the factories for winter
work is first-class. No reductions have been made on local finish
prices, as the costs have not been reduced either in the lumber itself

er in the Jabor which is going into the work. The factories have

work for, at least, three to four months ahead of them and with pos-
sible accumulation for the balance of the season.

Laths and shingles still retain their summer prices and stocks are
not at all excessive. The outlook is that all laths and shingles will be
shipped from St. John before the close of navigation.

The British market at the time of writing is dead and the possi-
bilities are that there will be no improvement until well along in the
winter or next spring.

General Market Conditions in Montreal Unchanged
General conditions in the lumber line in Montreal remain quiet
The most active wood at
‘the present time is spruce, in which there has been a slight advance

made by some of the local firms. An increase in building operations

i. during the past month has resulted in a larger call for this particular

wood. The lumbermen contend that the recent advance of about 5%

| is fully justified by reason of the high cost of logging and the heavy
- wages which are being paid in the bush.

It is reported that some
- firms are paying as high as $125.00 a month, exclusive of board, in
order to secure the most experienced and active men.

any number of fellows available but too many of them are inefficie
and inexperienced. The larger operators believe that it is 1
economical to engage and retain a comparatively small staff of
and practical workers than to accept anyone who comes along. —
results are more satisfactory in the long run especially so where thi
output is limited. Bhd
Export to the United Kingdom has fallen off. With the excep
tion of spruce, practically no lumber at all has been shipped to Gre
Britain during the past month. | ia
Export to the United States has not yet assumed an active tren
but in the opinion of the lumbermen specializing in American trad
these conditions will be improved towards the end of the year.
The total value of building permits issued by the city of Mon
real. for the month of September amounted to $1,350,740, as again
$1,050,976 for the corresponding ‘month last year. Total value
permits issued for the first eight months of this year was $12,347,11
as against $6,964,644 for the same period last year. Ae
Shipments from B. C. have entirely fallen off, due to the pric
asked by the B. C. firms. ae
Pulpwood is still commanding high prices, and owing to tl
prices, the majority of Quebec lumber firms are turning their suppli
of lumber into pulpwood. aa

Another Big Mill for Canada -
P. T. Dodge, president of the International Paper Company,
was in Montreal with the Riordon party which went to inspect the
new plant at Kipawa, announced that his company will build a second
pulp and paper mill in Canada. He confirmed the impression that
this is the first time the fact has been publicly stated, but rema
that the matter has been under contemplation for some time. __
The International Company, which is the largest producer of
paper in the world; 60 per cent. of which is newsprint, is now building
a pulp and paper plant at Three Rivers, and Mr. Dodge sta that in
sixty days it will be turning out pulp. The paper mill will not be —
ready to operate for some months yet. It is designed to turn out 200
tons of newsprint a day. A) Se Seer a
As the International Company has acquired extensive tim in-
terests in New Brunswick and now controls a valuable water
at Grand Falls, the impression prevailed in paper interests tl
next move will be in that locality, but Mr. Dodge stated that they he
more than one locality under consideration. *

of the comparatively sparse population and also on account of the lo in
winter season which permitted the work to be carried out for barely half of
the year. Secondly, the Canadian Government had been extremely apathetic ©
and had not given them either the contracts or the encouragements which —
they had anticipated. In addition the Government is at present making cer- PS

Travelling by Airship Will Be Cheap

The airship will, in due time, become a form of transportation
almost as economical as the automobile, if not more so,” says Col.
Jesse G. Vincent, of Detroit, Mich. .

He declares that the actual cost of carrying a passenger a mile
is already less in many airships that it is in an automobile, and pre-
dicts that the high price of machines which so far has placed avia-
tion out of practical commercial use will soon be changed. With
this, he declares, will come the preparation of landing fields in every
little municipality; guide signs and signals will be provided which
will make possible a great volume of air traffic.

“For many years the idea that the automobile would ever sup-
plant the driving horse was doubted and people even refused to be-

lieve that it would replace the draft horse in trucking and farming.

Nevertheless this also is coming to pass,” he says.

The same will be true of airships in a very short time.

The

fact that there are airships to-day which carry six passengers at a

rate of 100 miles an hour, and make ten miles to the gallon of gaso-
line, proves that flying is not necessarily expensive. I know of no
automobile that at the same speed will show such fuel economy,
and, in fact, a six passenger automobile that will give ten miles to
a gallon at 30 miles an hour is considered an efficient machine.
“The greatest factor in favor of the airship, however, is that it
requires no rails or even a road to travel on. With the element of
road building eliminated you have a tremendous saving which can
be credited to airship travel. Landing fields can be easily and cheap-
ly prepared and every little municipality will have one in the near

future. There will be guide signs and signals to direct the aviators

in landing in foggy weather, as well as in clear, and these are all
that will ‘be required for the coming airship. Tire cost also will be
included in the saving, because the wheels run for only a few hund-
red yards in taking off and landing. Until recently the repair bills
have been large because of the character of the machines and lack of
This has now been almost entirely eliminated.
“4So the matter will resolve itself to one of the first cost of the
vehicles. The cost of airships is still beyond the reach of the average
person, but that will soon be changed. There are a number of foreign

airships to-day that can be produced by manufacturing methods like

those which have made the motor car so cheap, and I predict that

_ the automotive manufacturers will soon achieve as great a triumph

with airplanes.

Destructive Fungi Threatens White Pine
That the white pine blister is firmly established in Minnesota
has again been made clear to state entomologists and forestry officials
by the finding of the destructive fungi on current and gooseberry
bushes on the shores of Gull Lake, just’ north and west of Brainerd,
and also in timber between Grand Rapids and Deer River, Itasca

The state forester is in charge of eradication work, which ¢

The disease was found this year in the two instances mentione
on currants and gooseberries. An extensive pine infection exists
Rush Lake and other smaller areas of infected pines have been locat

The Algoma Range

A Steel Range for Camp use. Built especially for this
purpose. It possesses features that are attractive in useful-
ness but not in beauty. A blunt, hardy Range with a won-
derful record for Service.

The Algoma is built in three sizes—each one has the
three necessities,—

LES TE PT RIT OTT SET a

(1) An Oven of ample capacity;
(2).A cooking surface, open and capacious;
(3) A Firebox, big yet economical.

The Body and Oven are made of Steel that will last.
Each piece of steel is solidly rivetted to the other. Great care
is exercised to ensure the complete rigidity of the entire con-
struction.

The cooking surface is cast-iron, solid and thick; there-
fore the heat barely affects it. There are a variety of sec-
tions.

The Firebox is lined with weighty pieces of cast-iton.
Strenuous usage may wear these linings away—when this
happens, replacement is easy and the Firebox is made as good
as new.

The Gates are the duplex pattern—two bars, each heavy
and perfectly made. Simply operated with one shaker bar.

The Camp Comfort

A heater that radiates direct heat from the body when
burning wod. Simple, effective and efficient. The body is
filled with wood and paper the light applied and the heater is
operating.

The Lumberman’s comfort in cold days and nights. Heat
radiates in all directions from the round steel body. In the
coolest weather the atmosphere around the Heater is com-
fortably warm.

The “Camp Comfort” is built of well tested materials that
can withstand rough usage. The two ends are heavy cast-
iron and the door is so large that huge chunks of wood can
be fed to the Heater with ease.

The body sits on four cast-iron legs which fit into rigid:
cleats. Side or top shelves are supplied and are very con-
venient for temporary use in keeping foodstuffs and liquids
at a high temperature.

The “Camp Comfort” is a Camp Heater. It is simply
made. It produces the required results—See it.

McCLARY’S ability to make “Good Stoves and Cooking Utensils”
is recognized by all users. Seventy-three years solid experience in
the manufacture of Stoves gives us the machinery and skilled man
power to produce highly specialized articles. These two Stoves are
good samples of our best Foundry productions.

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

THE ROOFING

OF TO-DAY

In fact, they have already arrived:

| “In 1918 we doubled our output of As-

double that of 1918.

There is going to be a big and growing
business in Asphalt Slates done by lum-
ber yards. We have a number of lum-
ber dealers now who are handling our
line and finding it a brisk seller and a
good profit earner.

Brantford
Asphalt Slates

You will find it quite easy to sell this fire-resist-
ant, economical, durable roofing material at the

_ same time you are selling the lumber for the
house, barn or other buildings.

Brantford As-
phalt Slates are permitted to be used-in the con-
gested districts of cities where the most rigid fire
protection by-laws are in force. This is an ad-

- yantage that adds greatly to their saleability.

’ In addition to this, Brantford Asphalt Slates
add beauty to a building. They are in soft, har-
monious red and green shades—and the crushed
slate surface gives a roof a distinct and artistic
individuality.

‘Brantford Asphalt Slates are easily handled

and quickly laid. They are in Individual size
- shingles.

Brantford Asphalt Slab Slates are four shingles
in one. They are particularly suitable for large
roofs, because they save time and labor in lay-
ing and require fewer nails. When laid the roof
has the same appearance as when covered with
the individual asphalt slates.

Brantford Crystal Roofing is the same materi-
al in Rolls. It is a big seller for barn roofs.

We suggest that you put in a small stock to try

SAVES TIME—SAVES MEN

Never before has man power been so badly needed—never before -has time saving meant as much
in the way of labor saving.

ates Type G-2 Ripping Saw

is one of the best tools made to conserve man power. Its solid construction, excellent design, and
freedom from-mechanical troubles make it a favorite wherever used. Dozens of them are installed all
over the United States and Canada. The increase in sales of this machine is proof of its popularity.

Smithing, Hammering
and Blocking Saws

No mill saw could do the work ex-
pected of it until it goes through the
Smithing, Hammering and Blocking
processes. Smithing removes the
lumps in the plate as seen under a
straight edge, Hammering equal-
izes the strain in the plate, and
Blocking provides the tension for
the speed the saw is to run. These
operations are performed in the
Atkins factories under the super-
vision of experts—men long in the
service—men who know; that’s
why Atkins Saws have built a repu-
tation for quality.

Klim is even more economical than its price
indicates, for you can use every bit; there
is no waste. In powder form it will not
sour in Summer nor freeze in Winter. Use
it from the tin as you need it. The last
spoonful will be as sweet and fresh as the

RESPONSIBILITY

At night—when the people of your town are taking recreation—

in places of amusement or in their homes—this is the time "
when the safety of your Municipality weighs most heavily on

those responsible for its protection from a great fire.

The unexpected fire comes to every town and too often the
distress and loss of life and property, left in its wake, can-
not be reckoned.

2ae

The conscience of those responsible is clear if a fire alarm
box is at every main street intersection. The

Northern Elecfrire :
GAMEWELL +

Fire Alarm System

is the proven quickest and most positive known means of

alarm. The telephone cannot compare with it for speed and
accuracy. Instantaneous in its action it utilizes pre-
cious seconds—no time is lost. In most cases, the fire
is under control from its infancy.

The fact that 99% of the fire alarm systems in Can-
ada are Northern Electric Gamewell has saved the
Dominion untold thousands of dollars and many lives.

If we can be of service to you in
this important matter, call on us.

running time. : It isn’t. It’s a strong, rugged truck built to carry 3000 to 5000 pounds and it

gets its speed from motor power—not gear ratio.

Built and designed for pneumatic tires—standard tread—it takes roads as they
come and averages express train speed. It has probably the most perfect balance
ever developed in a truck. Friction is saved everywhere possible by using ball
bearings throughout. Scientific tests show that it takes 29 times less power to
move a given load when ball bearings are used as against any other type. This
wonderful balance and almost frictionless running makes a big saving in gaso-

line.

You get further saving in gasoline because the truck has complete electric equipment, including
starter. That means that the driver will shut off the motor when the truck is idle and he will
save you from 2 to 4 gallons a day that way alone.

The patented Duplex Spring Suspension for the radiator allows 44-inch sideways and 1-inch
up and down movement before the radiator touches anything solid.

This eliminates at one stroke the greatest single source of radiator leakage and consequent
motor damage from overheating.

Put your hand in the crank case of a Duplex Limited that has run over dusty roads and notice
that there is no sand or sediment in the oil. This is due to the fact that there is a special
flapper valve arrangement that keeps the sand and dust out of the lubricating system.

See the Duplex dealer near you—he will give you any demonstration you want and let the
truck speak for itself. He is a responsible man—he will not exaggerate and he stands ready
to back up, as we do, every truck that bears the name “Duplex.” Get the facts about the
Duplex Limited.

Tremendous
Ss Saving —

-Where logs have formerly
been handled by hand or the old
fashioned oscillating niggers,
this Stationary Cylinder, Steam
Nigger will effect an enormous
saving to the mill man.

It occupies less space, there
being no horizontal bar to come
in the way of conveyors or feed
ropes.

Second: the cylinder being
stationary, permits all piping to
be rigid, and allows lever con-
nections between valves and
lever, to be installed without
any lost motion, thus guaran-
teeing the sawyer perfect con-
trol of the entire machine. The
working strain instead of com-
ing on the cylinders, heads and
trunions, comes on the heavy
cross heads and slides, removing
all strains from the joints, and
for this reason requires a mini-
mum amount of packing.

Third: the machine is contain-
ed, there being no jumping or
rocking of the machine, when in
motion. The two upright tim-
bers, used to support the cylin-
ders and slides, have a tendency
to stiffen the mill. at a weak
point, and prevent the tooth bar
from pounding the carriage
track timbers out of alignment.

ATEROUS Steel

Carriages are being
used in the largest, best
equipped Mills in Canada
today. Built for fast
cutting, for accuracy, and
to give operating service,
they are carefully put to-
gether of the best mater-
tals obtainable—they stay
right.

Increase in cutting efficiency
and the increase of cutting
speed have been taken care of
in the design of these carriages,
Improvements in the knee and
head blocks and in all moving
parts to overcome lost motion; a
new setworks—our No. 4—
(which may- be attached to
Steam Setter, or be replaced by
trout Power set works) which
absolutely prevents and will not
develop slack; new style, insert-
ed tooth; quick and easy operat-
ing dogs; a friction receder that
is operated with the Setworks—
these special features are what
keep the Waterous Steel Car-
riage at its place at the head of
the list of “Up-to-date Sawmill
Equipment.” We build our Steel
Carriages in sizes of 36” to 72”
knee opening, in any length and
with any number of head blocks
—screw or rack motion. They
are adaptable for rope or gun-
shot: feed.

Mill Owners

Whether you contemplate building new or repairing the old mill, it
would pay you to investigate the merits of our Friction Feed Works
which overcomes the trouble experienced with the ordimary friction.

While it possesses the speed and power of the steam feed, it can be
operated by anyone without danger of accident.

We are now building this machine in two sizes and can supply you
with a size that will meet your requirements.

_ SIX PLANING MILLS aichigiee Re lt ai
_ ELEVEN FLOORING UNITS ,000,000 feet.

In a former issue we told of the hardwood stumpage which we have from which to produce lumber to supply our patrons;

_ probably, however, those who purchase lumber would prefer some data as to our production of lumber rather than in regard
__ to our ownership of trees.

_ es 2 We produced, during the first six months of 1920:

“FOURTEEN MILLION feet of Bepies lumber, including TWENTY- SEVEN MILLION feet of oak lumber, dees
1,000,000 feet of panel 2,288,455 feet of quarter-sawn stock
2,472,999 feet of 1s and 2s 4,916,456 feet of 1s and 2s -
3,151,831 feet of Nos. 1 and 2 common 6,467,522 feet of Nos. 1 and 2 common

a We produce also the other varieties of stock in poplar and oak which naturally would result, accompanying the
‘a _ manufacture of items above listed.

In addition to our production of poplar and oak, we manufactured millions of feet of basswood, ash, chestnut: hem-
other varieties of such hardwoods as grow in the choisest sections of the Appalachian hardwood areas.

During these first six months of the year, we manufactured 11,567,253 feet of the choicest hardwood flooring, strip and
_ parquetry, plain and quartered.

We produce standardized products.

T. ‘ D.

It may be within the scope of the practical economist to take
cognizance of the problem of perpetuating such national resources as

Providence has given this country, in the form and outline of our

great timber areas.

Of Conservation of Forests we have heard much, learned little,
and cared less.

But as a consequence of the very considerable monetary interest

recently allocated to the development of our forest resources, we must,
as investors in this rapidly-growing industry, hear more, learn more,
and care more. We have capitalized the industry to the extent of sev-
eral hundred million dollars, and having assumed this huge financial
stake in the comparatively new business of paper production, we want
to know what Conservation means when translated into the language
of Capital Investment.
"When we garner an acre of wheat, we dispose of the wheat and
retain the acre. When we burn a ‘ton ‘of coal we deplete a valuable
‘national asset to the extent of one ton of coal. That ton of coal
boils down to productive heat-units, and goes up in smoke. When
we cut a cord of wood—what happens?

Until posterity (and our own immediate interest) hove in sight,
we cut and slashed each cord of wood and passed on to the next. The
lumberman started the game in haste and there was little leisure in
the operations of paper-makers who came in later. Depletion was so
rapid that by 1908 it was found imperative to exercise more care in
the cultivation of new woods and the protection of those woods yet
uncut.

Scientific methods have been adopted for re- -forestation and fire
protection, and much good has been accomplished in the. past ten
years. The Quebec Legislature has given material help in some direc-
tions, while allowing destructive influences to prevail in others.

The business, the very serious business, of Forest Conservation
is, however, still in its infancy, and it is necessary, on behalf of the

heavy capital investment, as well as from the national standpoint, that

practical rather than theoretical plans for Conservation be adopted as
a definite policy for the guidance of lumbering and paper-making op-
erations.

THE TWO ALTERNATIVES

“A Tree for a Tree,”—“A Life for a Life’—is the slogan of some
of the professionals. These gentlemen would “seed” on neutral
ground compensating tree for the tree led to the slaughter. They
would start a new forest, all their own, on adjoining ground not nec-
essarily designed by Providence for timber bearing. It takes 30 sec-
onds by the clock to bring a tree to earth, and 40 to 50 to 100 years
to bring its. offspring to maturity. For every-denuded acre another
acre, by this plan, would be pressed into service on hill and dale, both
far and near.

As can readily be imagined it costs money to “seed,” and as each
seed bursts into infant plant, into youthful tree, and by stages to
maturity, the tied-up capital cost per tree compounds at a fearful rate
over a period of 40, 50 or 100 years. Obviously, this makes the “Tree
for Tree” expediency an affair of infinite cost, infinite labour and in-
finite risk of destruction by the scourge of fire so prevalent in this
country.

Other professionals urge, as the best method of Conservation, a
system of selection of cut, plus elaborate fire protection, plus aid to
nature’s own service in the practice of re-forestation. For many reas-
ons the advocates of this latter course have the more practical, the
more sensible solution of the problem of Conservation.

An article which appeared in the “Canada Lumberman and Wood-
worker,” in February last, entitled “Wantonly Wasting Many Grow-
ing Forests,” was most instructive and well worth consideration of all
who are interested in the conservation of our forests.

‘tricity in the Dominion is cheap enough, in all conscience. —

In respect to European methods of Forestry, it is interesting t
note that the Premier of Quebec, immediately upon taking office,
clared his intention of sending some members of the Provincial Fo
estry Department to Scandinavia to study forestry as practised in’
that country. ‘oe -f

It may be opportune to mention that, realizing the importar abs
the forest to their industry, the Wayagamack Pulp & Paper na
Limited, some five years ago sent a McGill Science Graduate te
dinavia to pursue a course of practical work under some of th
ing Foresters in Scandinavia, finishing with a course at the
School of Forestry at Stockholm, This student had the good fort
to spend many months in the forests of Baron Mannerheim ¢ f tl
Kramfors Company, where conditions are very similar to so’ :
extensive Canadian plants. Baron Mannerheim, by mee
known to pulp and paper makers in Canada, and recently
or to this country. This educational work brought out the
while a certain amount of re-forestation by planting is prac ticab
is carried out in certain especially adapted parts of E , it hi
the whole been abandoned in favour of the adoption o good ~
tical and scientific methods of wood cutting, draining, t inning
and helping natural seeding of the forests. : s it

Nature is a Great Healer. It is estimated that in the con
the past 200 years fully 80% of the timber resources of t!
areas of Canada has been destroyed by fire—and Canada to-dz
the White Man’s Hope for uninterrupted delivery of the daily ne
paper, with one billion cords of coniferous pulpwood ira: in¢
erect awaiting the call of the pulp consumers. oa

Fire Protection in deed and not in need; a comprehen
nature plan to enable the trees to propagate their species, in
to seed planting on parts of cut-over lands, offers the ee
that is practicable, economical and certain of a and

results. Rigi
THE ROOT OF THE EVIL pe a oe
Destruction by Fire is the root of the evil of deteas aa! eee
Fire will wipe out in one short week more fine timber than

producing machinery of the Dominion could cut do
of a ten-year period. That being a fact, is it not the
immediate duty of the Provincial Governments to take
ceivable precaution? Much advancement has, no doubt, be:
fire protection, but curiously enough the Federal Government’:
steam locomotives and the Provincial Government-urged _
are the greatest source of danger to our forest areas. Loc
are allowed to belch live coal into inflammable material in
ern parts of Quebec and Ontario, and the would-be-farm-se
the best of timber lands, at 50c per acre, cut the timber, sell and ps
it to United States mills, and jump the claim. In the process be pent dl ;
querading as a potential farmer, this gentleman only

up the debris from his lumbering operations by meeneiay: Gn a
regulated bonfires.

Thus we have the two chief Causes of forest destruction Ie
but not cornered, as the Bers has still a wide range o of
dangerous work. *

If there is danger from live coal, let us get rid - live”

tal expenditure for electric or for oil-burning locomotives
saved in one twelve month period. Electric storage loc Phat
the necessary generating stations as used by the New
surely could be installed on those parts of the railway
run through the richest of our forest areas.

Let us put the lid on the belching smoke-stack, and_
areas are the only lands in this province available for the s
colonist, the colonist should be urged to go elsewhere to farm, ¥
out the ’preliminary back-aching ee of stump extraction.

estions and offer worth-while ideas or advice.

is indeed in a sorry plight, to my way of thinking. I keep in mind
as an ideal at the opposite extreme a merchant friend of mine who
habitually makes it clear to a salesman that he is invited to tell his
story briefly and concisely and that after this the merchant will make
his decis‘on. This buyer gives careful attention, weighs the sales-
man’s arguments intelligently and answers decisively—just as a
buyer should, by my standards.

No fair-minded business man who is selling on the road expecis
every customer to buy on eyery call; but he does expect—rightly—
that every customer will give a respectful and attentive hear:ng to his
brief, to-the-point message. The salesman who is wordy and wasteful
of time cannot, of course, expect courtesy equal to that accorded his
more business-like competitor.

Don’t let me give the impression that I accept as gospel truth
and sound doctrine every statement that comes to me from a sales-
man who happens into the office. Nor do I want to leave the idea
that I spend a great deal of time with all the salesmen when they call.

Many salesmen have cultivated an excellent insight into-business
cond-tions, which they can pass along to the customer who is willing
to put a few minutes of his time against theirs. At the same time I
see no use in spending a lot of time talking to the salesman who has
nothing to say. The real thing to find out is which salesman actually
has information and which one is merely trying to “jolly” me into a
buying mood.

In the first place, I do not take too much stock in the talk of a
new salesman who is making his first call. After a man has been on
the job a while and shows that he knows his subject, it is time to take
him seriously.

The Municipal Lumber Yard—What Next ?

We have always with us theorists,
tators, fanatics and idealists.. When things are not going exactly
smooth in an industrial, commercial or business sense, they pro-
pound various solutions or hurl malicious charges at those in auth-
ority. A great deal of talk is heard about the alleged profiteer, the
greedy monopolist and the avaricious middleman, and on the other
hand as a panacea, there is presented industrial democracy, profit-
shar.ng plans, bonus system and last, but not least, employee own-
ership, as far as it is possible to carry out the scheme. Then, we
have heard of municipal coal yards, municipal abattoirs, and lately
there has been proposed a municipal lumber yard. Some evidently
imagine that any municipally managed enterprise is so satisfactory
in achievements and so complete in its service and operation, that it
is as near human perfection as any institution can be. The experi-
ence of most places, who have embarked in these civic enterprises, is
that private ownership and competitive interests tend to create a
better state of affairs all around than anything in the shape of a pub-
licly-possessed undertaking.

Over in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, a lively war started between
capital and labor, and after being carried through several stages, the -
climax was reached when the labor unions sought to beat the ma-
terial man by getting the city to open a municipal lumber yard.
They received a reply from the city attorney that under State con-
stitution, no such a venture could be launched.

An interesting review shows how one little clash may lead up to
a general, internecine struggle. A certain sash and door plant in
Sioux Falls was operated as an open shop with the result that the
labor unions started to boycott its products. The un‘on men even
went so far as to decline to perform work on any building in the
construction of which material from that concern was to be used.
Then the woodworking plants and lumber dealers inaugurated a
counter-move and absolutely refused to provide material for any
structure on which union labor was engaged. The unons endeavored
to veto this by dragging the matter into court, but the State Attorney-
General declared that the furnishers of material had equally as much
right to decline to sell to employers of union labor as union labor
had to refuse to handle the commodities produced in an open shop.
Then the labor men and their supporters got busy and started out
to put it over the material men. They believed that a city lumber

visionaries, dreamers, agi-

a 4 (a <

a es Bee eee * nas ei

Las aS CANADA LUMBERMAN AND “WOODWORKER

vard would solve the problem, but, on consulting tbe city’s legal
authorities, found that such a move \was not a legitimate one, and
there the matter stands at the present juncture. The upshot of the
agitation was that the city attorney declared that the State constitu-
tion of South Dakota would have to be amended before the right to
open a municipal lumber yard could be exercised by the State or
_delegated to any city.

i
‘*Own Your Own Home’’ Expositions

Plans are now actively under way for “Own Your Own Home”
expositions at several eastern points which are expected to stimulate
building this spring.

In Minneapolis this work is being carried out under the direction
of the Builders’ Exchange. Arrangements have already been made
for holding a in the armory early in February, at which
building material, supplies, equipment and furnishings of all kinds
will be exhibited. It is expected to be one of the largest exhibits
of its kind ever held in the West, display space is now being located
and arrangements for the exhibit perfected.

Chicago will also have a big “Own Your Own Home” exposition,
it will be held in the Coliseum, March 26 to April 2. One of the
ideas is to inaugurate a prize competition among architects for artis-
tic and economical plans for small houses. The winners of these
prizes will have their designs published in book form. In addition
the winners will furnish plans and specifications at a nominal price
so that prospective builders will be able to have the benefit. of archi-

_tecturally correct plans as well as ideas for economical building.
It is proposed that there will be shown at the exhibit practically
every commodity which is necessary in the construction of a home,
and experts will be on hand to offer the results of their experience
and knowledge tothe public.

Another exhibition of about the same character, only larger, will

Why Fall Buying is Good Buying

Information received in Toronto from the West is to the effect
that a large percentage of the mills of British Columbia are contem-
plating shutting down for an indefinite period as they cannot afford
to manufacture lumber at present costs and meet the present level
of prices.

Wholesalers in the East are finding it difficult to secure quota-
tions for anything in the way of special stock as the mills are not
desirous of taking orders for stock which has to be specially manu-
factured. The volume of business being distributed among the mills
is not sufficient to warrant a continuance of operation as the plants
cannot afford to pile up lumber at the present outlay for production
and keep running. Stocks of all kinds are reported to be low. The
majority of the mills may have an accumulation of certain items,
which can be shipped in straight cars, yet the same concerns would
not be able to fill modern mixed car yard orders without manufactur-
ing certain items. In the event of these mills closing down, there-
fore, it will be impossible for wholesalers or others to place orders
for mixed car ‘business until operation is resumed. On any apprec-
iable increase being placed, such surplus stock as the mills may
have would be rapidly absorbed, and a sufficient volume of business
to warrant the mills resuming operation would undoubtedly force
the prices of lumber above present levels and more then offset any
' decrease in freight rates that may or may not become effective at
the end of 1920. -

It would appear, therefore, say leading wholesalers, that retail
dealers, who are in a position to take in and pay for stock during the
next few weeks would be well advised to place their orders now. It
is stated that the western market which has always shown a material
weakness during the fall months has always firmed up either during
December or January and that prices have been well maintained
throughout the spring of the year following. For the last few years

The growing scarcity, high
cost of production and heavy de-
mands made by various indus-
tries upon hardwood lumber
were ably outlined before the
Rotary Club of Toronto, in a re-
cent address by A. E. Clark, of
Edward Clark & Sons, Limited,
former chairman of the Whole-
sale Lumber Dealers’ Associa-
tion, of Toronto, and a member
of the Board of Directors of the
Canadian Lumbermen’s Associa-
tion.

Mr. Clark has the facility for
presenting his subject ih a in-
teresting and instructive way and
of late months he has been called
upon to speak before various
gatherings. Mr. Clark, who is
an enthusiastic Rotarian, was
: ; given a cordial reception, and in
_ A. E. Clark, Toronto. opening humorously remarked:
* “The press of Ontario has had a
great deal to say in the timber investigation regarding lumbermen,
but let me tell you at the outset that these men are not hardwood
lumbermen. ‘They are softwood men, and we have attained no such
fame and notoriety as they have.” (Laughter.)

Continuing, he said that hardwood lumber is the product of

Beciduous trees, or those which lose their leaves every year, as con-
trasted with woods of the evergreen variety, or coniferous growths,
‘commonly known as softwoods. In Canada, the principal hardwood:
ductions are birch, maple. ash, elm and basswood. These are
nd in Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, and the
st of Canada grows softwoods. Oak, chestnut, gum, cypress,
hickery and other hardwoods come principally from the. United
States, and mahogany from Mexico, the East and West Indies, Africa
and other tropical countries. The United States in 1918 produced
b etween six and seven billion feet of hardwood, and recent returns
x om Canada showed that in the year 1918 the total cut of hardwoods
; was 201,667,000 feet. Of this the greatest cut was birch, which, ac-
cording to a compilation by the Department of Statistics, Forestry
mech, Ottawa, constituted 76,165,000 feet B.M. Maple came next
ith 47,884,000 feet, then followed basswood with 23,965,000 feet,
, with 19.016.000 feet, poplar, 13,945,000 feet, beech, 8,321,000
ash, 7,827,000 feet and other varieties much smaller.
‘The total cut of lumber in Canada—hardwoods and softwoods—
in 1918 was 3,886,631,000 feet, of which the hardwoods formed, as al-
teady stated, 201, 667. 000 feet, the remainder, 3,684,965,000 feet being
SO ftwoods. It will thus be seen that the hardwood harvest in Can-
ada is comparatively small, and more particularly so when com-
pared with the six or seven billion feet cut in the United States.

Becoming More Difficult of Access.

Hardwood lumbering is a distinct branch of the lumber indus-
th in method and in production. The hardwood stands of tim-
in Canada are being repaidly depleted and the source of supply
onstantly receding or becoming more and more distant from the
arket. The severe climatic conditions of the northern territory are
as conducive to as tall growth or thick stands as prevail in the
south. The average production of hardwoods to the acre in the Dom-
nion is between 4,000 feet and 5,000 feet or only about 25 per cent.
e yield in the south.
The rough nature of the country in addition makes lumbering
9) erations difficult and expensive, and reduces the production, as
ern available means such as logging, railways, etc., which are
loyed. in many states of the Union are not economically feasible
nada. The transporation problem necessitates that the mill
t not be more than four or five miles from the cutting. Hard-
logs will not float for any length of time. The lumber has to
eked or sledded, and we are now past the trucking period this
and must use the sleds in a very short time. Hardwood trees

V hy Hardwood (re is Costly to Produce

Representative Ontario Lumberman Points Out What the Operators are up Against
be Today in the Way of Decreasing Supply and Augmented Demand

fore this date the wood has a tendency to sour or spoil. The operator
has from September lst to the time when deep snow arrives to skid
the logs, build the roads and bring them out to the main bush roads,
then awaiting good snow roads to transport them to the mill or rail-
way.

The lumberman to-day was up against high wages and lack of
efficiency on the part of men, which increased manufacturing costs.
The result had been that hardwood lumber had materially advanced
in price during recent years, “but not as much,” added Mr. Clark,
“as the producers would like to see. All lumbermen are not million-
aires, only: the softwood men come in that class.” (Laughter.) Re-
cently an easterner made an inquiry regarding the price of a port-
able sawmill and was told that the figure was $1,500 f.o.b. Brantford.
His observation was characteristic. “What in h would I be in
the lumber business for if I had that amount?” he retorted.

The introduction of many new uses for hardwood lumber since
the commencement of the war had resulted in the supply not satis-
fying the demand. Birch had been used extensively in rifle butts,
while for propeller blades the woods used were birch, mahogany
and walnut. The rims of trucks, framework, etc., were also built
from these woods, while the rougher-ends were employed in box-
making for shells, cores, etc.

Heavy Requisition for Hardwoods.

Up to the present, the demand for hardwood lumber had been
keen, but Mr. Clark naively added that “the hardwood men could
take care of a little more business than was offering to-day.” The
automobile had revolutionized the hardwood lumber industry, and
it was estimated that the annual consumption of hardwoods for
the bodies and wheels of autos and motor trucks took about one-
third the total production or two billion feet annually. Hardwood
flooring and trim also required large quantities, and one of the
first questions asked when purchasing a house is, “Has it hard-
wood floors and interior trim?” Gramophones also consumed huge
supplies of hardwood, while far as transportation is concerned
a traveller could sleep comfortably in a hardwood car in the
winter time owing to the ability of the company to heat the coach
properly which it was impossible to do with the steel car. In the
summer time the hardwood coach was cool while one of steel con-_
struction seemed to generate heat.

“Why,” concluded Mr. Clark. “Even the United Farmers oi
Ontario have to depend on the hardwood lumberman who steps
in and furnishes the supplies of wood to manufacture the imple-
ments which cut the crop and thresh the grain.”

The hardwood lumberman has his special place in the world
and in future when buying furniture the speaker expressed the
hope that his hearers would endeavor to purchase some pieces, at
least, for their homes which were made of the product of the Can-
adian forests.

Not Enough Labor to Handle Lumber

The Official Bulletin of the National Hardwood Lumber Asso-
ciation in a recent issue says: “The demand on our Inspection
Bureau has been unusually heavy during recent months as indicated _
by the reports of the total volume of work done each successive
month and published in the concurrent numbers of the Official Bul-
letin, and there has been some delay which could not be avoided.
Much of this delay is attributable to lack of co-operation on the part
of buyers in furnishing necessary labor to handle lumber for the ~
National Inspectors, and as this ‘shortcoming extends in many sec-
tions to our members, it is urged that all members co- operate as far ~
as possible with us in this direction and furnish labor to assist in-
spectors without unavoidable delay. Otherwise additional expense
must be charged to the account of the member ordering the
inspection.”

The lumbering industry in Newfoundland will be carried on on
a larger scale in ‘that colony this year than ever before. Besides
the large number of men which are being offered employment by the
Grand “Falls company and other large concerns lumber tracts are
being opened in the vicinity of Grand Lake this fall. One hundred
men are now employed and a new company lately organized is giving
employment to about 400 additional men.

Record of Wooden Shingles as Roof Cove

Numerous Attempts Have Been Made to Eliminate Them but Investigations S,
Good Shingles are not Fire Menace—They Have Stood the Test

By Frank L. Nash, Secretary of Shingle Agency of British Columbia.

At a recent meeting of the On-
tario Tire Prevention League
held in Toronto the first week in
October, J. B. Laidlaw, manager
of the Norwich Union Fire Insur-
ance Society, addressed the lea-
gue on the subject, “The Fire
Menace of Wooden Shingles.”
At the conclusion of his remarks,
he offered the following reso!n-
tion :

“That the Ontario Fire Preven-
tion League request the Legisla-
ture of Ontario to pass an act, to
be of general applicatioon in every
part of the Province, and with no
exceptions, to prohibit the use of
wooden shingles or other com-
bustible material as a roof-cover-
ing on any building hereafter
erected nearer than fifty feet to
an existing structure, and to pro-
hibit the extensive repair of any
existing roof covering composed of wooden shingles.”

This is just another instance of the many attempts by cer-
tain interests to eliminate the wooden shingle as a roof covering.
In spite of this fact, the number of cities having anti-shingle or-
dinances throughout the United States and Canada remains about
the same (as stated in Mr. Laidlaw’s address as being 91, which
is approximately correct), for as often as one city decides to ex-
periment with an anti-shingle ordinance some other city will re-
peal one, which had formerly been passed, but that had not pro-
duced the desired results, that of reducing the fire losses.

Frank L. Nash, Vancouver, B. C.

Use Vertical Grain Shingles.

There are many cities that have passed anti-shingle ordinances
There is another class of cities
that have investigated the question, and have passed common sense
building codes, in which they permit of the use of vertical grain,
or quarter sawed shingles, in which the shingles must be 5/2 inch
in thickness at the butts. These shingles will lay flat on the roof,
and will not curl up at the edges allowing places where inflam-
mable material may accumulate. The fact is that such shingles
are the only shingles that should be used for roofing, as they give
better satisfaction and last longer.

The public is often willing to take for granted reports made
as to the origin of fires without giving careful thought as to wheth-
er or not the case had been carefully diagnosed. and the real cause
found. This condition has been known to exist, and in many cases
the shingle has been blamed in reports of fire causes as “Sparks on
Shingle Roof” when the cause should have been reported as “De-
fective Flue,” or as “Sparks from Chimney,” which was due to the
burning of soot in unclean chimneys.

Examination of the report of the State Fire Insurance Commis-
sioner of Texas, dated February 14th, 1917, indicates that had the
chimneys been properly constructed and cleaned, and _ buildings
properly fire-stopped, the 1,568 “Unpreventable Fires” attributed to

~ sparks on roofs would have been reduced to a minimum.

The National Board of Fire Underwriters, in their statement
of fire losses in the United States for 1917,.place the total at $231,-
628,040, and in 1918, $283,103,101, or a total loss in two years of
$514,785,141, with a total of fires caused by sparks on roofs of only
$13,682,423 for the two years, or a percentage of 2.66 per cent.
which could not at least all be attributed to wooden shingles.

How Some Fires Are Originated.

Some of the worst conflagrations and heaviest losses have been
in the fire-proof districts, as the National Fire Protective Associa-
tion says in one of its publications, “It is the frequent conflagra-

tion in.a business district where the commercial values are great-
“er which. make the fire tax in the United States so enormous,

worked out much cheaper. Sir George Foster had laid the matter
before the steamship companies, and for a-time it had looked as
though nothing could be done.. Persistence prevailed, however, and
he had recently received advices from all the steamship companies
that the Ontario and Quebec exporters would be treated alike in the

Kipawa Plant Has Abundant Wood

The output of the Kipawa plant of the Riordon Co., which is
located at Temiskaming, Ont., will be increased within the next few
days by fifty tons a day, making production two hundred tons. It is
expected that within the next year the tonnage will be augmented to
300 daily. This increased production will make a total for the far
northern mill of over 90,000 tons a year, and bring the total output
of the three mills of the company up from 100,000 tons a year to
190,000.

The digesters will be increased from five to fifteen at the Kipawa
plant, and the boiler capacity will be doubled. For the time being the
company will be able to get along with its present amount of power,

, Kipawa mill will run to 15,000 h.p., out of a capacity of developed and
‘undeveloped 30,000 to 40,000 h.p. :

So far the Riordon Company has not been called on to utilize the
new Edwards and Gilmour and Hughson limits for any of the’r mills.
The limits at Kipawa, some 2,000 square miles, north of Lake Temis-
kaming, that are owned outright by the company, and some 20.000
square miles back of the mill property, as yet hardly touched, but on
which cutting rights could be secured, will be ample for the Kipawa
mill.

Newsy Jottings From the Busy East

Word was received recently by the Provincial forester of the

‘death by drowning of F. C. Kenny of Glassville, N. B. He was em-

ployed with a party engaged in
of the Miramichi.

The Pejepscot Paper Company, which owns timber limits in St
John County, and mills at Great Salmon river, has ordered con$truc-
ted two barges which will have keels ninety-eight feet in length, and
carrying a capacity of two hundred cords of pulp wood.. The barges
will be used in towing the pulp wood from Great Salmon river. They
are to be built at Stockson, Me.

Word has been received in St. John of the death of Allston
Cushing in Boston, Mass. He was at one time well known in lumber
circles in New Brunswick and was a son of the late Andrew Cushing.
When a young man he went to Salisbury, N. B., where he engaged in
the lumber industry. Later he came to St. John and on the death
of his father operated their mill at Union Point. His wife, who
pre-deceased him, was a daughter of the late E. G. Dunn, also at
one time prominent in the iumber business here.

timber cruising on the headwaters

. The water in the St. John river has been exceptionally high
this month and as a result all kinds of trouble has been experienced
at the booms. The St. John River Log Driving Company had to
extend additional booms to their rafting ground at Douglas, N. B.
In other sections strenuous efforts were made to cope with condi-
tions. At the Fredericton booms some joints of the Nashwaak Pulp
& Paper Company’s logs were carried away, over 250,000 feet of logs
owned by Stanley Scott, from Gordon C. Scott’s new mill, and be-
tween 390 and 400,000 feet of logs from Stanley Douglas’ mill at
South Devon.

Pulpwood is to be carried from the port of St. John to ports
along the United States coast by large steamers in future according
to a recent announcement. The Canadian Government steamer
Merchant Marine is enroute to this port to load pulpwood for Port-
This makes a new departure in regard to pulp exports
This is said to be a result of the increased railway freight

been going on considerably of late from ports along the north shore
of the province. This will cease when ice forms, so that it is not
unlikely that a large amount will be diverted to St. John for shipment.

British Capitalists Buy Chew Holdings

G. Mason & Co., Limited, manufacturers, buyers and expo
ers of white pine and maple, of Manchester, England, and Midlan
Ontario, have purchased the sawmills and lumbering interests
Manley Chew, situated at Midland and at Thunder Bay. TI
limits are on Beckwith and Hope Islands and also cover five town
ships north of Massey Bay. The purchasers have assumed contr
of the logging interests but Mr. Chew will finish his present con
tracts at the Midland mill. : oh le

Major G. L. Main, late of Galt, Ont., will have charge of
entire operations for G. Mason & Co., who last spriig purch:

just changed hands, is one of the fastest and best-equipped in
Dominion. In- dimensions, it is 65 x 125 feet wth cement bo
house 44 x 46 feet. Cat FF

The sawing equipment consists of two double-cutting band ‘saws, .
two gang edgers, lath and picket machines and all the other ac-
cessories of an up-to-date mill. The capacity of the plant is one
quarter of a million feet every twenty-four hours, or, more proper-
ly speaking, every-day, with two shifts of ten hours each. The
lumber cut is principally white pine, there being a small percen-—
tage of hardwoods. The yard capacity is exceptionally large and
there is piling ground for 20,000,000 feet of lumber, with 5,000 eet
of track. The dock for water shipment will hold about 5,000,000
feet of lumber and 3,000,000 pieces of lath, and has a depth of 14 feet
to 30 feet. = .

The mill at Midland’ was built in 1899 by George Chew & Sons.
the company being composed of the late George Chew and his sons,
A. G. Chew and Manley Chew. The latter has been the sole owner ~
and manager for eighteen years, and is widely known, not only it
lumber circles, but also in the political arena, having sat for some
years as the Liberal member for Simcoe in the Federal House.

It is understood that Mr. Chew retains his interest in Chew
Bros., which firm formerly consisted of George Chew (father
Manley Chew) and his brother, Thomas Chew. They dissolv
partnership some years ago and the firm is now composed of Ed.
Letherby and Manley Chew. Mr. Letherby has been with the
concern since 1885 and is now the manager of Chew Bros. aa

It is currently reported that the amount of money involved in_
the purchase of Manley Chew’s mills and extensive limits is in
vicinity of $2,000,000. io ye a

In times when trade is quiet and the outlook uncertain, var-
is rumors are set afloat. Although these are frequently of a
sleading and exaggerated character, they are given credence; in
, as they circulate they are often made to fit in with the parti-
ular view, outlook or, disposition of the one who gives utterance
them.
_ There have been numerous reports, both in the press and by
d of mouth, that the cut of lumber owing to the rather pre-
ious demand would be greatly diminished this season, that some
‘logging companies would not put men in the woods and that the
dumber business was rapidly on the road to-extinction. Listening to
_some of these rumors one would think that woods’ operation, driving,
towing, hauling and sorting logs, would soon become a lost art and
t in the lumber districts which have hitherto teemed with activity,
re would be only the evidence of idle plants or bygone operations.
a In an endeayor to present the true state of affairs in eastern
Canada and to show to what extent these reports have been color-
ed, the “Canada Lumberman” has secured first-hand information
from representative companies in many sections. These show that
‘while the cut will be less in some districts, especially in the east,
st on the whole, production in Ontario during the coming winter
will be pretty well up to the past season. It is a little early yet for
some firms to, speak authoritatively.
_ The general opinion is that there will be no immediate reduc-
ion in the cost of operation; in fact, in some instances it will be
igher. The lumber business is not in the unstable condition that
rtain interests represent it to be. On the whole the outlook is
t forbidding and there is a firm conviction in the ranks by those,
who have given the future situation the closest study and the most
earnest thought, that a good demand for lumber will set in at the
beginning of 1921 and industrial activity will once more manifest
itself; that housing campaigns and construction undertakings will
_ proceed on a larger scale than ever, that prices will be more stabi-
lized and things generally on a more even keel than they have been
E ince the war. i
With respect to the labor situation, general cost of supplies,
ber of camps in operation and stock of lumber on hand, etc.,
following opinions from progressive firms will afford the reader
e definite knowledge on these points and will be followed with

cack _ Labor Shortage in Ottawa District.
James Davidson’s Sons, Ottawa, Ont—In reference to the lumber
uation in general at the present time we are conducting—the same
last year—two camps on our limits with 100 men in each camp.
‘e might add in this respect that we are having great difficulty in
ing help for the woods, as, there seems to be a shortage of
en in Ottawa at the present time. We have more help than we
e in our factory here, and outside of our door department, the
'y is quiet,—even more quiet than it was this time last year. In
rd to the stock we have on hand at our sawmill at Davidson,
. we have only about 60% of what we had a year ago. The
res that we paid in the bush last year were from $55.00 to $65.00
onth, and this year we are paying from $65.00 to $85.00,—mak-
rease of an average of $20.00 per month. The supplies that
for the bush are also up in price, although we expect this
will right itself shortly. Taking everything into consideration,
1 that we are going to have a very quiet winter both in the lum-
nd of our business and in the manufacturing end. Nevertheless,
are going ahead with our woods operations and expect to cut as
lumber as we did a year ago—which was in the neighborhood

That Wood Operations are Proceeding on Fairly Large Scale

Mageau Lumber Co., Field, Ont—We find men a great deal

than fifty thousand logs. lI¢ven at that we are finding much difficulty
in getting the men to do that much, as we have had a camp opened
since early September and have only twenty men in it. As far as
the demand is concerned, we have had more enquiries in the last six
months than ever before. This may not be due to there being a
greater demand for lumber, but might be due to the fact that our
name is becoming better known to the buying public.

Wages High and More “Jumpers.”

The Pembroke Lumber Co., Pembroke, Ont.—We are only oper-
ating five camps this year as compared with six last season. The
crews at the present time are about two-thirds of the required num-
ber, and they are filling up very slowly. Labor is scarce and the
grade is very poor. In fact, we have never experienced a year similar
to this one as regards jumpers. Wages are from $10.00 to $15.00 a
month higher, and camp supplies are still advancing over last year’s
prices, with the probable exception of oats. Our stock of lumber on
hand at present is very small, and will:no doubt be entirely used up
before the end of the present year.

Will Not Operate Heavily.

W. J. Bell, of Sudbury, Ont., general manager of the Spanish
River Lumber Co., says——We are not operating heavily this season,
having only five camps. We are also cutting down the number of
men toa camp. The labor market seems to be a little easier the past
few days, but so far, the efficiency is just as low as it' has been. Wages
are about $20.00 higher than last year, running from $75 to $85 per _
month, and board. Supplies put in the woods last winter for this year’s
operation, were bought at pretty nearly the peak. Just at present
most lines can be bought considerably cheaper. Our stock of lumber
is practically disposed of, and we have on dock and in the yards at
our mills about 50% of what we had this time last year. Our cus-.
tomers have moved the lumber this year as soon as it was in condition
to ship.

Big Reduction in Huntsville District.

The Bethune Pulp and Lumber Co., [luntsville, Ont.—Reports
are well founded that there will be a big reduction in the cut of logs
taken out this coming winter. In our own case operations and those
of our neighborhood will be curtailed considerably. With the uncer-
tain demand and operating costs higher than ever before in the history
of the lumber trade, it would, indeed, take a very optimistic turn of
mind to go ahead and try and increase production in view of present
and possible future conditions. Wages are 20% higher and no more
efficient. The only supplies that are at all cheaper are oats and po-
tatoes. We have about 50% of our 1920 cut unsold, and some sold
that is unshipped, but this is mostly of late sawing. Softwoods have
been affected by the cheap southern pine being dumped into Canada
at very much lower prices than are obtained in the U. S. markets. We
cannot meet this competition at the present high producing costs, and
rather than go ahead under the present conditions we have decided to —
let our timber grow until times are more normal. :

North Shore Cut Will Be Less.

The C. Beck Mfg. Co., Penetanguishene, Ont.—The coming lum-
be cut on the North Shore is much less this year than last.
There is a great scarcity of labor, and all the different firms we know
of, are reducing their number of camps considerably. Our reduction
is 25% in the number of camps, and up to date, we have not been one-
half filled up, and as to what the outcome will be in cut, we do not
know what to say at the present time. It may be depreciated 50%

account of not getting the required number of men in each camp. The |
cost of feeding our men is a little higher, and the feed of teams is —
about the same. A considerable proportion of our stuff had to be put |
in last winter, and it possibly will be just as high again. We under- a
stand that a great many others are finding the same conditions ruling
in their operations.

Believe Prices Are Bound to ckeceade.

The Colonial Lumber Co.. Pembroke, Ont.—We are operating
the same number of camps as last season, but the labor supply, al-
though very short a year ago, is worse this year, with the result that
the log output in the Ottawa valley will probably be very much less
than last year. Wages for bushmen are higher than a year ago, and ©
in many cases supplies are selling at higher prices. All our lumber in |

ern Lands Department, Canadian National Railways in Northern Ontario

this season’s cut has been sold, and is moving out freely. A consider-
able quantity has been shipped green from the saw. The quantity
of lumber stored in manufacturers’ yards is, we believe, very much
less than last year, and owing to the rates of wages being paid, cost
of supplies, etc., we cannot but feel that prices for lumber such as we
manufacture, namely, white and red pine, are bound to advance.

General Costs Will Be Higher.

The Fraser Companies, Edmundston, N.B.—We do not propose
cutting as many logs this year as last year. We have hardly any men
in the woods yet and cannot tell how plentiful help will be. We think
that the wages and general cost of supply will be higher than last
year.

Their Cut Will Be Normal.

The Keewatin Lumber Co., Keewatin, Ont.—We expect to put
in about the same quantity of logs as we did last year. Labor is a
little more plentiful than it was last year, but wages are about 10%
higher. The cost of supplies will be from 10 to 15% higher on an aver-
age. We expect that the efficiency of our labor will be better than
last year, although we cannot tell as yet.
amount of sawed lumber on hand as we did at this time last year.

Will Get Out Same Quantity.

The Belgo-Canadian Pulp and Paper Co., Shawinigan Falls, Que.
—We will have this winter about the same quantity of camps as last
year and also about the same number of men. The wages of the lum-
bermen are from 10 to 15% higher than last year and the efficiency is
not as good as some years ago. We may add that the men do only
two-thirds of the work they did before the war. The prices for sup-
plies are about the same as last winter.

The Fletcher Corporation, Sherbrooke, Que.—For the past couple
of seasons we have not been operating in Canada and are not this
year; therefore, we are not in a position to give you any information
that would be of much service. We might say, however, that in our
operations in Maine there seems to bea fair supply of labor with wages
about the same as last year, and we are getting out our estimated
and planned for cut.

Labor is Still High in Price.

The Louise Lumber Co., Quebec.—We are cutting only about
40% of what we did last year and what camps we are operating are
with small crews. Labor is high priced and unreliable. Wages are
higher than last year in some districts; in fact, jobbers are asking
$2.00 to $3.00 more per M. feet than last year. The scarcity.of help we
- attribute to the large quantities of pulp wood being cut and the high
prices being paid for doing this work. Provisions on the whole will
cost about ‘the same as last year. Our stock of lumber on hand un-
sold at the present time is only about 50% of what it was a year ago.

The New Ontario Colonization Co. of Buffalo, N.Y., and Jackson-
boro, Ont.—It is our intention to log throughout the fall and winter in
our small way, and it will be our policy to purchase what logs are
offered us, providing we can afford to pay the price. Labor with us
is very scarce, high-priced, and inefficient. We had hoped that labor
conditions would ease off some, but not as yet, nor can we see any real
improvement in the near future. We are running two camps and

ing fair demand for our products and are moving them out about ;
fast as we can secure cars and the labor to load. The outlook for th
future to our way of thinking might be far worse than it is.

Will Cut Four Million Less. r

The Fassett Lumber Co., Fassett, Que—We have now as ma
camps as we had last season, but we will not cut as many logs.
amount will be about four million feet less. The reason we are €
tailing our cut is that we have at present a large quant.ty of logs
hand, and by reducing our cut to this extent, we figure that we °
have ample for our requirements for another year. As regards ¢
we are not in a position to go into this, as we contract each yea
one contractor. We are obliged to augment our price this year t
extent of 30% over last year, due to the increased price of labor
supplies. Men are not plent.ful, and as far as efficiency goes, it i:
worse than last year, and for this year we do not look for any b
conditions with respect to labor.

Why the Cut Will Be Reduced. a.

Cedar Products, Amherst, N.S.—It looks like as if the imber c
in the Maritime provinces would be less than last year’s operat
Tight money and an uncertain market will be strong factors in
ducing the output. Wages generally are lower and w.th the s
labor in sight, men will naturally be more efficient.

J. B. Snowball Co., Chatham, N.B.—Very few parties Kae so fa
gone into the woods here while at this time last year every lumbe
was in to the full limit of his capacity. We had at this season last ¥
contracted for twenty-six mill.ons. We are not contrac: ‘for at
logs at all but are running one camp of our own to keep our h
employed during the winter and will probably get out about tae l-
lions. As far as we can find out operations will be cut about 50% as an
average. There is quite a lot of pulpwood being taken out Der enene may y
stop by the first of the year as, we understand contracts are all m
contingent on delivery not later than January Ist. As face. wa;
are concerned, men are still asking last year’s wages, but, the c
are refusing to pay. Last year men were paid $85. One
vised us that he is paying $75 to good men and as low as §
is no change yet in the cost of supplies.

Charles H. Nadeau, Port Daniel East, Quebec eae infor
tion that I have, I understand very little lumbering will be done, and
for my part I only intend cutting a very small amount of what we
did last year as the present prices would not leave se wh
ever. At present wages are higher than they were at 3 period i
1919, and as for supplies, etc., I find little difference in —
although later on in the season they no doubt will be pei but it
would be of no benefit to a lumber operation. __ a

Enough Lumber Already Produced. : a
The Eagle Lumber Co., Montreal.—We are not pire ces te. any
bush operations this year. We have nearly all our cut of 1920 u:
and consider it unwise to increase our stock at actual cost of produc
tion wh.ch is still greater this year than last year. We believe
is enough lumber already manufactured to supply one aed ah
sumption. With the coming cut, if it is near the average, the ma’
will be overstocked, and prices of lumber will follow those of. shing
and lath. Those who are so enthusiastic, as to go ahead and ra d
abundantly, while they are unable to find buyers for the stock
actually have, at a price which would cover costs,—well, that 1s
affair—not ours. .

e

Very Little Done in the Camps.
George Burchill & Sons, South Nelson, Miramichi, |
present outlook is that the lumber cut this year in this vi ;
not more than 50% of normal. Very little has been done as y
the season is now pretty well advanced. The mills are still
in-this section and as long as outside employment contin
plentiful, men do not care to go to the woods. It may be, that
labor for woods will be a little more plentiful. So far as oli
concerned, we do not think, on an average, the cost will be m
than last year. Owing to the fa:lure of the British ndanain al
move purchased stocks, mill yards in this vicinity are very mug oC
jested, and the outlook, generally, is far from encour Me
operators, we think, will confine their operations to sufficient to k
their organization together,

Will Be Large Pulpwood Cut. ia .

W. S. Loggie Co., Chatham, N.B.—We would say that in ow
opinion the cut of logs in the Maritime provinces this winter ~ De
less than an average one and will not be more than 50% of last
cut. We think there will be sufficient labor available and that i

nt, Should there be any change in wages .we think the

supplies will be considerably below last season’s. During the
fall and coming winter there will be a large cut of pulp wood,
will use a considerable portion of the labor which will not

_ Alfred McDonald Lumber Co., Peterborough, Ont.—Briefly, we
conditions as follows: Labor, fairly plentiful but poor; wages,
as last year; supplies, practically same as 1919; stocks, a little
r than a year ago. We expect to bring out a quantity equal to
it two-thirds of last year’s cut.

Logging Costs Fifteen Per Cent. Higher.

liam Milne & Son, of North Bay, Ont—We are endeavoring
= out about the same quantity of logs as last year. We are hav-
nsiderable difficulty in securing efficient lumbermen or, in fact,
ass of men for the woods, but think the situation will improve
e fall work on the farms, is finished. Wages is about $10.00
ith higher than last season, and labor is not.as efficient. The
lies will average more than last season, and we think that log-
osts of our lumber is practically all sold, and about 60% of it
ipped out. We expect to have our lumber all shipped out before
seaSon begins. :
w Bros., of Midland, Ont.—We operated three camps and had
s jobber last season and we have three camps and three jobbers
season, for which we require 350 to 400 men. Owing to our in-
y to get the right class of men we have only been able to secure

our organization and keep our plant in operation during the
ng season.
A large Quebec pulp company, which also conducts lumbering
ations says:

his winter operation will be about half of last year, as we
ock of logs in advance for next summer operation. The
n sighted is rather slow, but seems to improve mostly
er grades of lumber, but is still lonesome for high grades.
nd cost of supply are about 15 per cent. higher than last
that, we do not see the way very clear for next summer

___ Dropping Production of Soft Wood.

ke Bros., Bear River, N. S—While it is a bit early to de-
efinitely what the next season may develop, there is a general
y at the present time to. restrict production, due to existing
conditions. So far as we are personally concerned, we have
very largely the manufacture of soft woods, into hard-
our operation will be about on the usual scale. We will
‘cut from two to two and a half million annually. The
et is showing signs of improvement, men are more plenti-
; are not higher than last winter, and more frequent in-
work are being received than for the past three years.
uestion of supplies will vary little from the winter of 1920,

Cost of Logging Higher Than Ever.
Conger Lumber Co., Parry Sound, Ont—We expect to
the same quantity of pine and hemlock as we did last
, in the aggregate this will be small compared with what
ut in former years. We find it very difficult to get com-
for our woods operations this fall and as they are being

“more excessive than ever. Supplies have been quite
not higher, than they were a year ago. From reports
all lumber companies are ‘having difficulty in securing
men for their logging camps and it, therefore, looks to
hough the input of logs during this fall and winter will be

they are coming in very slowly. Wages are about 15

cent. while the output has fallen off 50 per cent. This looks like -
an extravagant statement but we know it to be so in our case and
think that we are no exception to the rule. Our output will likely
be less than last season.

Lumber Prices Higher Next Spring.

Brompton Lumber & Mfg. Co., Bromptonville, Que——Our camps
are running about 60 per cent. of normal, due to the lack of labor,
and this will reduce our cut proportionately. With reference to the
present uneasiness which the alarmist is spreading throughout the
country with regard to lumber prices and the anticipated de-
cline of same in the near future, we beg to say that we cannot see
how this can happen, since this year’s cost of log making is much
more than last year, and naturally following the. basis of cost of
production, lumber cannot be lower than it is now; and if business
picks up the least bit on the American side, we will see higher
lumber prices next Spring and Summer, than we did this year. We
know some of our lumber friends who intended to cut saw logs
this winter, are now cutting pulpwood, which is bringing handsome
prices, and for which there is a great demand. If this policy is
followed throughout the country in the same proportion as it is
in our section it will cause a good decrease in the next year’s output
of sawn lumber; and when the old law of supply and demand is
applied, one will find out that sawn lumber will be below the de-
mand, and, therefore, prices will rise.

Small Cut on the Upper St. John.

Murray & Gregory, St. John, N. B.—The cut of logs in this
section of the country will certainly be very much reduced. On the
upper St. John, where in the past year there ‘was a large cut of
logs, this year there will not be 25 per cent. of the previous year’s
cut. As far as we are concerned, we shall cut less than one-
half of the quantity of logs that we did in 1919-20. The general
situation does not warrant us to cut any logs, but what shall be
necessary to keep a very small organization together. There are no
inducements for operators to go into the woods this winter. Prices
at the present moment show absolutely no profit, in fact, there can
be no sales made at any price, as both English and American brokers
refuse to buy even at less than production cost. Labor certainly
will be more plentiful in this section of the country than a year
ago, and at the present time more men are offering themselves for
the woods than at any time in the last five years. At the present
moment men are asking the same wages as a year ago, but no
operator is taking them on, unless they wish to go at in the vicinity
of $50.00 a month and found. The general costs of supplies at the
moment are a shade higher than a year ago, but reductions are
being made from week to week, and the operators are only buying
from hand to mouth, and camp supplies will certainly be worth
considerably less than at the present time. Hay and oats are now
showing considerable weakness, and general supplies are on the
downward -trend. The stocks at the mills are pretty heavy, and
production costs during the past year have been higher than ever,
but the majority of mills in the district have sold these goods for
the past season. Much stock is in the hands of brokers, strong
financially, who will not sacrifice them. So that, with the reduced
cut all over this country, as well as in Maine and New England in
general, there should be a steadying of prices towards spring.

Will Cut About Same Quantity.

The Hocken Lumber Co., of Toronto, whose mills are located
at West River, are operating three camps this year, and along with
the logs which they have on hand, they will have equally as large —
a cut next season as during the present one. Due to the dry spell
last spring, it was impossble for a good many of the lumberrfien |
of the North shore to get down all ther logs to the mills, and~
quantities were “hung up” at various points. The Hocken Lumber
Co. finds that labor is still scarce and inefficient.- Wages are a
little higher than last year but may drop about Christmas time-
The expense of running a camp, notwithstanding the reductions in
the prices of potatoes, sugar, oats and other commodities, will be
about the same as last season, as the effect of the decrease will not —
be felt for several weeks yet owing to the large amount of goods —
in hand and already contracted for. eo.

No Decrease in Quantity Sawn. =

Graves, Bigwood & Co., Toronto. and Byng Inlet, have the
same number of camps as last season and have a large quantity of
logs on hand which, along with those cut in the bush, will make
their production next year equally as large as for the season just
closing. Labor is a little more plentiful than it was some time ago,
and men in the camps less restless. Wages are running from $70
to $75 in the bush and other supplies about the same. Mr. W. E. ~
Bigwood states that, although there may not be as many men or ~
as many camps in the Sudbury district this season as last winter,

still the cut along the north shore during 1921 will be equally as
heavy as that during 1920 by reason of the fact that many logs were
a held uP owing to low water, dry weather, etc.

- G. A. Grier & Sons, Montreal.—As far as we can find out, stocks
of lumber do not appear to be at all excessive. Certain desirable
sizes and grades in spruce and white pine seem to be very closely
sold up even at the present time and this along with the poor de-
mand which has prevailed for some weeks. There is, of course,
accumulating a fair surplus of undesirable sizes, which is always
meine case under conditions such as those now prevalent. We have
- not operated any camps ourselves for some years. We are advised
© {by our travellers that many of the small mills are finding it rather
difficult to finance their winter’s operations, and, on account of the
tightness of money, some of these smaller manufacturers will not
be able to take out any logs this winter. If this is the case to any
great extent, it should serve to reduce next year’s output of lumber
very considerably.

| The Shives Lumber Co. of Campbellton, N. B—In keeping
with all the other operators here we do not expect to get out the
present logging season over one- -third of the logs we got last year.
Labor is very scarce with us, and through the pulp mills up west
coming here and combing our labor all the time and continually
offering them more wages, they are going from here, and as a result
we do not have men to run our mills or even to supply our oper-
ations on the basis of the proposed production. So far as logging
supplies go, while some of them this season are costing us less than
last year, others are costing a great deal more, and ‘altogether we
figure that the logs deliv ered into the booms next season will be
even more expensive than they were the past spring. We have
heavy stocks everywhere, as while we have sold considerable, the
transportation problem has been acute with us for many months,
and through scarcity of cars we have been unable to ship anything
dike the wood goods we otherwise could have done, and as a result
we are now getting cancellations every mail and altogether the
situation with us is very bad indeed.

The Victoria Harbor Lumber Co., Victoria Harbor, Ont., are
operating three camps this season compared with five last winter.
The company state that their cut of lumber next year will, how-
ever, be equally as large as during the season just closing as they
bought a considerable quantity of logs which, added to those that
the firm themselves will take out, will give them a full quota.
Wages are a little stiffer than last year and also expenses of camp
. equipment and maintainance. ‘The supply of labor is better than it

was a year ago and conditions are steadier among the men.

Percy Herron, Burwash, Ont., reports that his mill is still run-
ning, and he expects to be-able to cut until well into. next month.
Mr. Herron will take out a little larger quantity of timber this
coming winter than last and has four camps in operation. He has
closed contracts for a large portion of next season’s cut.

“Planning Service” for Home Builders

But some one awoke one day to the fact that women are the
real home builders; that they are the “instigators” of new
floors, built-in book cases and other things made of the products sold
by. the retail lumberman. And so, with amazing rapidity, there spread
the propaganda of “Home- Building Service,” “which, reduced to its
lowest terms, meant reaching the real ultimate consumer, the “lady
of the house.”

A man out in Kansas—D. J. Fair, a retailer of Sterling—was
one of the first to see the light and one who not only brushed up his
lumber yard but went farther and installed what he called a “plan-
ning service,” designed to reach the prospective builder of homes and
| also those who wished to remodel old homes. ‘
aa Mr. Fair became a prophet of the new deal and went about among
his fellow retailers at conventions all over the land, and preached
to them the gospel of “service” in general and the “planning service”
in particular.

_ The average home-owner builds but one home in a lifetime,”
said Mr. Fair, “and it’s up to the lumberman to help him build it
right.” So he went to work with that idea in his head and proceeded
to Eo” the farmer and small-town home-owner how to “build it
ericht.”
| “You can’t blame him if he follows false gods and is attracted
by the pictures in the catalogues,” he said—and put up photographs
_ of thé houses he had furnished the lumber for and the floor plans,
and on them he tacked the bill of materials.
_It’s just as true of homes as it is of millinery that the attractive
design is selected because it pleases the eye,” was another of the ax-
ioms he fired at his fellow retailers—and he put up beautiful water
_ color paintings of bungalows and farm houses with trees and flower
gardens in full bloom, ‘and showed his customers how they could get
such a home.
“I would have the floors scrubbed and the windows washed and

hasn’t got that far yet, but he will.’ “a
“Selling the home complete” became a slogan. among the re} ile
and the “planning service’ became a new gospel. Adolph Pfune
secretary of one of the big retail associations, seized upon the i -
and instituted a planning service for the members of his associd
thereby making it possible for the smallest dealer in the BE
mote town of his territory to have a complete, up-to-date sale
pulling service. a
Among the first to adopt this scheme and to install a plann
service was George La Pointé, Jr., manager of the O. & N. Lu
Company, of Menomonie, Wis., and of the La Pointe Tumba Ce
pany, which control twenty-nine retail yards in various small ei
in the north. Each yard is neat, attractively painted and has a v
windowed display room, the window always being filled wit h me
colors and sample interior finishes.
Mr. La Pointe’s service department at present consists of a e«
of draftsmen and estimators whose duty it is to follow the e
er’s ideas and to design a home, a barn or a whole outfit:
structures in accordance with those ideas, suggesting a con
here and avoiding a difficulty there, and giving an estimat
cost of the completed structure.

The yard manager is provided with plan books a

such a way as to find out his exact needs and wishes and ra
satisfaction to him. He first ascertains from the ‘ ‘prosp ect the

Then the prospect blanks are filled out with this toons né

are then sent back to the yard manager to be presented to the cus

completion of the job, as each yard handles all building mz
This price is guaranteed; that is, the company suman

ping of Jack Pine is Satisfactory
esults Do INot Indicate That an Excessive Amount
of Resin is Present—Fully Equal to Spruce

By F. I. Ritchie*

Some years ago the Wayagamack Pulp & Paper Company,
Limited, Three Rivers, Que., was equipped with complete apparatus
the purpose of experimental pulping of all the different species
of. wood.
Experiments have been systematically carried on for a number
of years with the object of discovering what different species of
wi od were suitable for the different qualities of pulp required for
the manufacture of all kinds of paper.
4 oo the province of Ontario and Quebec, there. are enormous
tracts of land timbered almost exclusively with what is known as
jack k pine, also called Banksian pine, or cypress.
_ For this reason, it was important to ascertain if jack pine oe
used for the manufacture of sulphite pulp and ground wood,
yite of all thé prejudice against its use for this purpose.
A preliminary examination of jack pine, with regard to its resin
ents*seemed to indicate that the resin’ was not present in quanti-
‘ties which would prohibit its use for the manufacture of sulphite
p ulp or ground wood, although jack pine seems to have had to carry
‘the blame for all the. pitch troubles which all paper. mills suffer
from, more or less.
If jack pine is cooked in a mixture with other wood, trouble is
quite likely to result, because jack pine apparently requires a strong-
ee acid and a longer cooking time than other species of wood.
If, however, jack pine is cooked alone, the company’s experi-
‘ Rents, as well as those reported below, would indicate that jack
ine will produce a sulphite pulp which is in all respects equal to
spruce pulp. The fibre from jack pine was found to be about .25
1. longer than spruce fibre, which will make it particularly suit-
ble for newsprint.
_ Some years ago, by special arrangement with George Mc-
BPiougall, of the Jacques Cartier Pulp & Paper Co., of Pont Rouge,
Bic. the Wayagamack Pulp & Paper Company, Limited, shipped
— quantity of jack pine to be pulped into ground wood at the Pont
Rouge plant.
The pulp obtained from this wood proved to be as good as, if
“not better than anything that could be purchased on the “market.
a No Evidence of Excessive Pitch.
S The Wayagamack Pulp & Paper Company would like to call
the attention of the trade to the fact that from all the experiments
made, there is no evidence of excessive pitch which could be traced
re) the use of jack pine.
_ By arrangement with Messrs. Arthur D. Little, Inc.,. of Cam-
bridge, Mass., sulphite cooking experiments were performed at their
laboratory, and the Wayagamack Pulp & Paper Company have
pleasure in publishing the principal results with the consent of the
thur D. Little, Inc., in the hope that the facts will be of interest
he industry.
- It should be carefully noted that the figures obtained from the
eriments of Arthur D. Little, Inc., seem to demonstrate that
results obtained from the measurements of fibre length and con-
t of pitch for jack pine as against spruce, show that the jack
ine is fully equal to spruce in every respect.
_. The following is an extract of the detailed report by Arthur D.
% ‘ittle, Inc. :

‘Tt will be observed that the’ fibres in the jack pine are superior

Dickie Sawmill Burned to Ground

The large mill of Rufus E. Dickie, Stewiacke, N. S., valued at
$55,000, was totally destroyed by fire recently, together with 3,500,-
OOO feet of lumber valued at $115,000. The mill was insured for
$30,000. Mr. Dickie states that the greater part of the lumber or
a little over 3,000,000 feet was sold and held in stock for the British
Government, and he does not know whether or not this was in-
sured.

The fire started over the boiler-room and although the watch-
man was right at hand with water, the blaze spread with such
rapidity that he could not control it. The day being Sunday, the
greater part of the ordinary crew were away, and by¥ the time suffi-
cient help and apparatus arrived from the town, a distance of a mile
and a half, the mill was beyond saving. It was thought that the

The Dickie sawmill at Stewiacke, N. S. and lumber piles

lumber could be rescued, but the wind changed into a bad quarter
and blew the flames directly into the large piles, although the fire~
was held in check for a considerable period. The Truro chemical
engine and firemen came out by a special train, and this apparatus,
along with the chemical engine from the town of Stewiacke and the
bucket brigade, (included in which were a number of women and
girls,) did heroic work. Had the wind kept in the same quarter
as it was when the fire started, the lumber would have been saved.
The machine and blacksmith shops escaped.

It is the intention of Mr. Dickie, who is one of the leading
lumbermen of the Maritime Provinces and a member of the Board
of Directors of the Canadian Lumbermen’s Association, to rebuild
next spring on the same site. During the winter he will get the
necessary machinery together and have it ready for spring instal-
lation. In the meantime there are about 1,300 M. logs in the river
which must be sawn before the stream freezes over, “and two large
portable mills are now doing this work with night and day crews.

The accompanying illustration shows the mill which was
wiped out by the flames. All the lumber seen in the background
was burned and considerably more.

Producing Fibre From Corn Stalks

“Tt is not surprising, in the light of past experiments, that relief

to the present paper situation should come from such a source. Fiber
suitable for paper-making has been produced from a number of
plants, among them corn and cotton stalks. The pulp from these

sources has been made only on a laboratory scale, however, because —
two chief difficulties stood in the way of commercial exploitation of
the process. In the first place there is not a sufficient supply of any
one material, and it is too expensive to gather corn or cotton stalks
from a wide area. The second, and perhaps the most important, diffi-
culty is that, because the material is not compact, only a_ small
amount can be placed in the pulp ‘digester’ at one time, making the
production very expensive.”

A really smart man will only: let you lie to him once. Which is
a mighty good business reason for telling your trade the truth.

Dull seasons were invented especially for the purpose of giving
the lumber merchant something special to hustle for.

Busy Career of Eastern Lumberman

Hon. Robert Irwin, who is
managing-director of the Suther-
land Lumber Co., of Shelburne, is
widely known in Nova Scotia.
He was first elected to the Legis-
lature of the Province in June,
1906, and re-elected in 1911, 1916,
and in the contest which took
place a few weeks ago. Each
time Mr, Sutherland has had his
majority increased which is an
indication of the hearty endorsa-
tion of his public career and the
confidence which the people re-
pose in him. He was elected
Speaker of the House of Assem-
bly in 1917 and occupied that
honorable position until the
legislature was dissolved and the
general elections brought on.

Mr. Irwin is a native of the
county of Shelburne for which
constituency he sits in the
House, and has for his colleague
Hon. E. H. Armstrong, Minister of Public Works & Mines in the
Murray Government. , Mr. Irwin is of United Empire Loyalist
descent, and was born in 1865. He is secretary-treasurer of
Etherington Gas Engines, Limited, of Shelburne. The Sutherland
Lumber Co., of which, as already stated, he is managing-director,
recently took over the lumber business and limits of Bower Bros.,
at Shelburne and Clyde rivers. The new company have a portion
on each of these rivers and expect to have a large cut of pine, hem-
lock and spruce with some hardwoods at their mills at Shelburne
and Clyde. The timber limits recently purchased by the Suther-
land Lumber Co. are among the finest remaining in the county
of Shelburne.

Reminding Northern Mills of the Tax

The duties of W. H. Buller, Inland Revenue Officer, Peter-
boro, Ont., carry him at certain periods far away from the comfort-
able, commodious offices in the Customs building. His objectives are
generally “stills” or “taxpayers,” but since the former business does
not flourish as it did a year or two ago, and the government put the
collection of the luxury and sales tax in the district under hifn last
May his trips now are practically all made to stir up delinquent store-
keepers, wholesalers and manufacturers.

A northern trip, with this object recently carried him far afield
but the results he anticipated will warrant the time and trouble in-
volved. One day he spent in Kinmount, the next day he motored
through to Maple Lake, Carnarvon, Minden, Gelert, Lochlin Donald
and on to Haliburton. Besides calling on all the stores in these places
and impressing on the proprietors the necessity of making speedy
and accurate tax returns he paid a flying visit to all the saw mills
in the district. If these mills will sell their lumber locally they are
required to pay a 2 p.c. sales tax, if sold to a wholesaler only 1 p.c.

Mr, Buller explained fully to the managers the tax and how to make

the required returns. On the following day, Gooderham, Tory Hill
and Wilberforce were visited with the same object and the next
day the revenue officer returned to Peterboro,

The Passing of.Hon. E. H. Bronson

Hon. Erskine H. Bronson, who was for many years prominently
associated with the lumber industry and its development in the
Ottawa Valley, passed away recently at his home in the capital of
Canada after a long illness. Mr. Bronson was in his 76th year, being
born in Warren County, N. Y. His father came to Ottawa first in
1849 and in 1852 having sold out his lumbering business on the
Hudson moved his family to the capital, and built the first sawmill
in the Ottawa valley to supply the export trade. ;

At that time the pine trees for export from Quebec were sent
down the St. Lawrence in “rafts” of square timber. In the process

_ of squaring the logs much valuable lumber was left in the forests
_ to increase the danger of destruction by fire. The elder Mr. Bronson.
was one of those lumber men who introduced the method of cutting
_ the tree trunks into sawlogs, a.change which increased very greatly
the amount of merchantable lumber obtainable from every tree, and
_ also facilitated the work of flotation of logs by shortening them.
___ The erection of sawmills at Ottawa, where water power was abun-
dant and controllable, set the pace for other localities, and before
long the squaring of timber entirely ceased. For a whole generation
sawmills by the hundreds have been producing sawed lumber, laths

to the trade and will not be until all mills adopt the standard pack.”

ie Would Like to Give Square a Trial.

_ The Houston Company, Limited, of Tweed: “No shingles
packed by the square have reached this district yet. Although we
ha eived several carloads of shingles, they have all been pack-
e thousand. We do not know of any reason why shingles
by the square should not be perfectly satisfactory, and on
of the competition of steel and prepared roofing would

Soceive tiem .a trial.”

S. D. McPherson, of Merlin: “In regard to shingles, we have
andled them in any. other way than bythe thousand. In
tion with asphalt and other lines of roofing, it is only right
te by the square.
vhich is not placing the value of shingles on a fair basis.
no use, however, of one firm selling one way and another

shingles by the square, and it is impossible for him to state which

is the better system. Personally, he would prefer having them ship-_

ped by the square after the people in that district got used to them.
“Tt would take some education to get customers started,” adds
Mr. Eves.

The R. E. Butler Lumber Co., Woodstock, Ont.: “We have
handled shingles packed by the square and have shingles on hand
the present time packed both by the square and by the thousand.
As soon as we clean up the squares we have on hand, we do not
intend to handle any more unless all the manufacturers put them up
in this way, as it is confusing to our customers to quote both ways.
We cannot say that our customers ask for the square unit, but on
the other hand, they do not object to buying them, and it is easier
to explain to them how many shingles it will take to do their job.
We think, however, that the biggest advantage is in being able to
compete with other roofings that are practically all put up to cover
a square, as often a customer will compare the price of a thousand
shingles with a square of other roofing, no matter how much you
explain to him that a thousand will cover, more than a square.”

The Paisley Lumber Co., Paisley, Ont.: “The square unit takes
in this part of the province. We do not know the reason unless the
shingles have always been sold here that way by the local mills.”

Sees Several Advantages in New Way.

D. Aitchison & Co., Hamilton, Ont.:.“The square unit has not
caught on as well as it might have done because the mills at the
Coast have not all adopted it. In Hamilton, all shingles are sold
by the square, that is, three bunches for a square. We buy them at
the Coast four bunches to the M, and, as stated, sell three bunches
for a square, which the square-pack people claim is not a “real
square” and will not cover a square unless laid about 5 inches or
more to the weather. The advantage in selling by the square, as
lately adopted by some of the makers at the Coast, is that a square
of shingles can be fairly compared with a square of manufactured
roofing materials, and that a square, or 100 square feet, is more easily
understood by the average builder.”

A. K. Hansen & Co., Regd., Quebec, P. Q.: “We may say that
we are unable to give our idea regarding shingles packed by the
square-or by thousand. This year we have received only two cars
packed by squares. All the others were packed by the thousand.”

Rhodes Curry, Limited, Amherst, N. S.: “With reference to the
packing of cedar shingles by the square, we may state that we are
really not in a position to give you much information in this regard
as the local territory is a poor field for B. C. cedar shingles. We sell
almost exclusively the New Brunswick product, which, of course,
is put up by the thousand.”

Wm. Watt, Halifax, N. S.: “In regard to the square unit on
shingles, the new plan has not worked out satisfactorily here as con-
tractors dispute the quantity in the bundles and desire one extra
bundle thrown in on every eight. They claim that the count of
shingles is not correct. I am endeavoring to sell all the square unit

that I have and handle only shingles packed by the 25 tiers to the

bundle or the old-fashioned packing of four’ bundles to the M.”

J. G. Schaefer, of the Palmerston Planing Mill, Palmerston, ~

Ont.: “We find the square unit.is the best. The customers are bet-
ter satisfied and they like it better than buying shingles by the M.
In the first place, they get a square, which means enough shingles to
cover a space, 10 x 10, laid 414 inches to the weather, where the others

sold at three bundles for a square will not cover that many feet, even —

if the shingles are laid 5 inches to the weather. We would sooner
handle the square unit, and we now sell all our shingles that way.”

Wm. R. Cutting, of Simcoe, Ont., says he is in favor of the

know that they were ever packed any other way, “and I am not tell-
ing them,” he adds.

among our customers, and our territory covers quite a range, we have

_not had a single customer asking us for the square unit in prefer-

ence to the thousand. We admit that the price on the square unit
compares more readily w.th ready roofing prices; further, with the
present method of putt:ng up the LB. C. shingles by the square unit
and the thousand the prices quoted the contractor or private indi-
vidual are frequently misleading. We have often during the past
summer found that quotations were given so much per sqtare in
competition with quotat:ons by the “thousand and invariably the
purchaser’s attention had not been called to the d.fferent methods of
putting up shingles. In the last analysis it is really immaterial which
way. the aacles are put up as long as both the buyer and seller
understand the difference and are perfectly frank with each other,

but we do feel that either one or the other method should be fol-
lowed.

ie Dual System Leads to Confusion.

N. M. Bearinger, of the Elmira Planing Mill Co., Limited,
Elmira, Ont.—We have an extensive country trade and are handling

shingles packed both by the square and by the thousand. The pack-
ing by the square seems to have taken well so far although the fact
that we handle both has often brought us into difficulties. One cus-
tomer would buy by the square and the next by the thousand. Then
they would compare prices by the bunch and we have often had to
make hasty explanations in order to save our reputation, as they
would invariably not consider the size of the bunch and would accuse
us of having two prices for the same article. As far as our trade is
concerned, we think that either way of packing would be acceptable,
although we would earnestly suggest that only one method of pack-
ing should be adopted by all manufacturers so as to avoid the con-
fusion that will be caused when the retailer handles both. The fact
that four bunches laid 4% inches to the weather are guaranteed to
cover a square often is a good talking point in favor of the new way

of packing.

The Supply Co., of Halifax.—Regarding Western
square, we may say that up to the present
time no comments whatever have been made by any of our cus-
tomers, therefore we have nothing to offer as to the merits of pack-

ing in this way. .
Should Agree Upon One Method

The Dartmouth Lumber Co., of Dartmouth, N. S.—We cannot
say the square method is welcomed by anybody. If all the manu-
facturers had agreed to make the change, we do not believe many
complaints would have been made, but it is a mistake to have two
size of bundles on the market. There is a temporary advantage
with the square method in causing customers to believe they are
buying at a considerable savings but this is soon removed when
they see the size of the bundles. While we realize the fairer com-
parison of the square method with patent roofing materials, unless
We
handle both kinds and they sell equally well, but greater care has
to be exercised in quoting on shingle enquiries, because the other
dealer may offer his squares against our thousands. On this account,
we have found it necessary to quote both ways on all B. C. grades.
The dealer should not be burdened with this extra trouble and it is

up to the manufacturers themselves to agree on one method only;

failing this let well enough alone.

The Shortage in Paper Products
The development of the pulp and paper industry in Canada has
been financed to the extent of 75 per cent. by American capital, says
“Printer and Publisher.”

Trade follows the source of the capital as a general thing, so

this 75 per cent. point makes a very good place from which to start

any discussion of the pulp or paper industry.

The demand for paper increases by feet, while the supply 1 increases
by inches.

The Governments of Canada, Federal and Provincial, should
be made to see the urgency of the situation, and newspapers would
be within their rights in bringing every influence to bear on members
of the various houses to see to it that Canadian publications are

supplied.

There is no prospect, even at present figures, of a betterment in
the situation. There seems to be no tendency on the part of publishers
to cut down. Many of them feel that it is useless to make any indi-
vidual or isolated attempt at curtailment, while other papers are firing
ahead and turning out tremendously large issues that.carry a large
advertising revenue.

Unless a slump sets in. which would cause a falling off in the
number of pages published, there is little prospect of the paper supply
improving.

Many Lumbermen Elected in New Brunswick

In the recent provincial elections which took place in New
Brunswick there were several lumbermen candidates who were suc-
cessful at the polls, when the Foster Government was returned to
power. A few were defeated, and some did not again seek political
preferment at the hands of the people.

Among those, who voluntarily retired from public life was Hon.
Wm. Currie of Campbellton, N.B., former Speaker of the Legislature.
Mr. Currie is manager of the Continental Lumber Co., and was in
public life for many years.

W. S. Sutton of Carleton County is another lumberman who de-
cided to step down and out. Mr. Sutton is manager of the Woodstock
Woodworking Co. and is also indentified with a number of other
industries. He lives in Woodstock.

Hon. E.-A. Smith, late Minister of Lands & Forests, also with-

member of the Foster Cabinet for a number of years. Hon. Mr.
Smith’s home is in Shediac. During his incumbency of office he
inaugurated several progressive moves including the Forest Act and
the Forest Fires Act.

Mr. Burchill Goes Down in the Fray.

Among the lumbermen who went down in the contest was Hon.

ber of the firm of George Burchill & Sons, lumber and general mer-
chants, South Nelson, and previous to the recent conflict was the
hero of no less than ten political fights, in eight of which he emerged
triumphantly. Mr. Burchill was Speaker of the Legislature for

Retail Lumbermen Discuss the Use of Truc

Motor Service Means Less Employees, Quicker Results and Greater Convenience
—Others Say That Team Haul Meets Their Present Requirements ;

To purchase a motor truck or not? This is a question which
- many a retail lumberman has been debating in his own mind for a
considerable period. The average dealer is seeking to get all the
practical and useful information he can on this important subject
as delivery is one of the vital problems of a modern, efficient ser-
vice.

A large number of the retailers in small towns have added
trucks to their equipment during the past season and find that their
possession and convenience are decided assets to their business,
not only economically but in other ways. Some dealers, on the
other hand, have interesting arguments to:present as to why a truck
would not fit in their district owing to special circumstances, local
conditions, climate, roads, etc.

It is always interesting to learn the views and gain an in-
sight from the experience of others, and with this aim, the “Can-
ada Lumberman” publishes a number of additional interviews on
transportation. These opinions will be read with appreciation, both
by the man who owns a truck and he who does not, and will help
him form an intelligent opinion on the whole subject of motor
vs. team delivery.

_ The John Carew Lumber Co., Lindsay, Ont.: “We are using
two trucks in connection with our retail business. One truck is a
214-ton Republic, which gives first-class satisfaction, and the other
is a 1%4-ton Ford, which we also find very economical. We find
that these trucks are very much quicker, and we can put more than
twice the amount of material on a load that we can with horses,
although the cost of operating is, we believe, a little higher. We
keep six teams of horses on local delivery, and when we take every-
thing into consideration, we do not know which is the most econ-
omical. We think probably for the first year or two the trucks
would be the most’ economiical, but once they start to need repair,
it would be a question to go into.”

West & Jackson, Tillsonburg, Ont.. “We do not use a truck
in connection with our business and have always adhered to team
delivery.”

For Long Hauls the Proper Thing.

Patterson & Crosthwaite, Hamilton: “We have not as yet se-
cured any trucks for our delivery and have not yet been convinced
that it is cheaper to deliver via truck. We, however, believe that
for long hauls, the truck is the proper thing.”

The Young Lumber Co., of North Bay, Ont., say. “We use
horses entirely on our delivery and hauling. One of the chief draw-
backs to motor trucks in this part of the country is that it is im-
possible to use them during the winter season.”

Fay & Rombough, Aultsville, Ont.: “We never used a motor
truck and have had no experience in that line as horse delivery
gives us satisfaction.”

W. D. Midmer, Napanee: “We would not be able to use a
motor truck in our business to any advantage.”

The McLaren Lumber Co., Brockville: ““We do not operate a
motor truck because we would have to keep a team for winter
delivery, and we find for our own operation, in which there are
practically no long hauls, that we do not require a truck.”

Anderson & Harris, Dryden, Ont.: “We have had no exper-
ience in truck delivery, but are considering putting in one in the
near future, and are trying to get all the information we can in
reference to the costs, etc.”

Less Employees—Quicker Service.

Wilfred H. Pauze, 1822 Cote Des Neiges, Montreal: “I use two
trucks, one a Republic 1% tons and the other a Mitchell 1% tons.
I am sorry that I have no data regarding the cost of upkeep. The
fact of using motor trucks means less employees and quicker deli-
veries.”

Robert Light, Napanee, Ont.: We do not use a motor truck.
All our cartage and hauling of lumber from the cars and delivery
of goods is done by horses.”

James Shearer Co., Limited, Montreal, say they have three
trailers suitable for carrying loads of approximately 1,500 feet of
lumber. These they tow with a 1l-ton Ford truck equipped with a
Martin fifth wheel. They believe that in summer the operation of
a truck is about equal in costs to horse-drawn delivery. The ad-

_ to the city being very hilly and also the streets and roads leading

vantage of a truck, however, is on space and speed in delivery
where time is a factor.

McLennan Lumber Co., Montreal, say they do not use moto
trucks in connection with their delivery department. .

The Piercey Supply Co., of Halifax, N. S., say that up to”
year ago they did not have a motor truck in operation, all the
trucking being done by horses, of which they had usually fr
fifteen to twenty, and in many cases they found it necessary
hire to a certain extent. W. D. Piercey, managing director of 1
company, states that for a long time he was of the opinion that
movement of building material could be done in Halifax more
economically by team than motor. The reason for this is owing

to the country were, generally speaking, in a deplorable condition.
This naturally added to the upkeep of a truck and greatly reduced
its facility. Continuing, Mr. Piercey said: “Last year Halifax un- ~
dertook to grapple with the condition of the streets, and to-day we ~
can boast of having our main city thoroughfares in as good condi-
tion as any city of equal size in the Dominion, and the program has
not yet been completed. These improved roads and streets have
brought about a change in trucking conditions, so much so, that we ~
have for some months been using a Ford truck on light deliveries,
with good results. . We find it does the work of about three ex-
press deliveries at about two-thirds the cost, and were it not for
the increased price of gasoline and motor oil, we believe this truck
would accomplish 100 per cent. more than horse delivery at the
same price.

“\ few weeks ago we bought a one and a half ton Maxwei,
which we intended putting into deliveries of medium weight, but
as it has not yet been put into operation, nothing can be said about
the cost of upkeep and comparative results with team; We ac
satisfied, however, it will work out to our advantage.”

H. P. Perrault & Fils, Beloeil Station, P. Q., say they do all their
hauling of lumber by team and they do not keep a record of the ~
cost of hauling. .

D. McLellan, of New Liskeard, Ont., states that he does not
use a motor truck in connection with his lumber operations. His
activities are confined strictly to team. ;

Chappell Bros., of Sydney, N. S.. “We use one motor truck in
our delivery. It is a Maxwell 1-ton truck.. We do not keep an exact
cost of our delivery, but we consider that our horse delivery is
about the same as that by motor. One advantage of the motor
truck is that we can make better time on three or four-mile runs,
and in this way give our customers better satisfaction in the way
of regularity and promptness. Our opinion is that deliveries under
one mile can be made more cheaply by horse-power than motor.”

Cutting up some choice cuts of beef for supper at one of the Canadian National
Railway logging camps in northwestern Ontario

November 1, 1920

Some outstanding features of the Pacific Logging Congress,
which held its eleventh annual sessions in Vancouver, Oct. 6 to 9,
were studies in economy, discussions on welfare of the men em-
ployed in logging camps, and description of forestry activities,
looking to the prevention of loss of timber and the perpetuation of
forest areas. Economy was possibly the leading topic, for its dif-

_ ferent phases cropped up in all descriptions of new machinery or
. methods for logging, in the suggestions for saving timber, and then
the whole idea of welfare work, which was a prominent part of the
extensive programme, is the saving of men and increasing their effi-
ciency. Perhaps underlying the whole economic tone of the con-
_ gress was the thought that costs of logs along with all other com-
modities in the industrial world must be revised downwards.
Rather strangely, while coming events in price conditions the
world over may haye been foreshadowed in the tone of the con-
gress discussions, there was not one item on the programme direct-
_ ly dealing with the lumber situation, or the outlook for the mill-
_ men. That the logging industry is vitally interested in the lumber
market is obvious, yet there was no discussion with the lumber
_ manufacturers, nor did the loggers themselves discuss the finan-

cial situation which is the outcome of the present lumber market
conditions—much less did any one seem to be struck with the im-
portance of studying the question as-a whole, and not merely in
connection with present temporary conditions. The fact did not
seem to come to the notice of the gathering that co-ordination of
all interests in the lumbering industry, right down the line from
logger to consumer, would tend to stabilize market conditions, and
at least, regulate the industry so that it would be prepared for such
. periods as that now being faced.

It is all the more noteworthy that no action was taken along
lines which would create co-operation between mill-men and log
producers, because the eleventh congress was a testimony of the
value of organization and the benefits to be mutually derived from
co-operation. Throughout the four days the programme was car-
ried out in a manner which showed organization of the most
' thorough and efficient sort. The loggers have clearly shown that
~ they know how to organize, how to get together and how to stick
together. The B. C. Loggers Association, whose members are, of
course, also members of the Pacific Logging Congress, have held
together all this year when the manufacturing end of the industry
has been suffering from a number of disturbing and unexpected in-

_ fluences. While the latter have been making all sorts of prices
‘ for lumber, and the lumber market has dropped from the peak of
_ high prices to a basis below actual production costs, the loggers
_ have stood pat. They have maintained the prices set early in the
Season, and below which they say present cost of production will
not show a margin of profit.

Getting Nowhere is To-day’s Situation.

J

_ to point to. But like all one-sided affairs its weakness is that it
gets nowhere. The mills are to-day facing almost a general shut-
down. In fact, if the advice of the loggers themselves were taken
by the mills the curtailment of output would be very much great-
_ er. And the feeling among the mill-men is that they must more
_ than curtail the lumber output, that they must take drastic steps
_ ‘to close as many mills as-it is possible to. As this is written the
_ process is well under way. It is safe to’ say that twenty per cent.
_ Of the mills have already closed. Others will close and those which
for one reason or another have not or do not intend to close, will
reduce their cut of lumber very materially. Some mills, those in
the coast district which have a share of the big export railway
_ timber orders still) undelivered, cannot very well shut down. The
_ effort to secure export business has led to very good results and
_ the mills feel like taking care of their commitments in that trade.
_ even at some inconvenience and sacrifice. The chief trouble these
_ export mills are facing is that the railway tie and sleeper orders
_ call for all one class or lumber. Other grades cut in the process of
taking tie timber out-of the logs, have to be piled up in the yards
_ for want of a market.

B.C. Lumber Activities Must Be Co-ordinated

7 If Market is to be Made Satisfactory Then Every Factor in It Must Participate in
All Movements—Some Features of the Recent Congress

turers’ Association stated to the writer recently, nearly every one
of the thirty or more mills which operated in the Mountain assoc-
iation this year will have closed for the year. It is true that the
majority of the mills in the interiot are only operated in the
summer season anyway, closing down when cold weather comes
on. But this year the shut-down was faced much earlier owing
to market conditions. There are some mountain mills which are
operated all winter ordinarily, because they have hot-pond’ equip-
ment enabling them to move their logs from the water. A few
small mills also which have dry logging, have cut in the winter
in the past.
Making Start Towards Organizing Lumber.

It is cheering to note that a good start in the direction of
getting the various elements of the lumber trade together has been
made. The coast and mountain manufacturers held a joint meet-
ing in Vancouver during the sessions of the Pacific Logging Con-
gress. As a result an invitation was scnt to the Western Retail
Lumber Dealers Association inviting them to a conference at Cal-
gary, the retailers to fix the date and to appoint their representa-
tives to attend the conference if they were agreeable to the idea.
It has now been fixed that the date for the proposed conference
is to be Oct: 26th. It is expected that a representative gathering
of the manufacturing and western retail interests will be present,
both coast and mountain lumbermen having agreed to attend.

A consideration of the market in the Canadian Northwest is
the chief topic for the coming conference, which will be rather in
the nature of a series of committee meetings. One of the important
points to be taken up is the passing along to the consumer alterations
in price as they occur, and whether they are up or down. The
manufacturers rather resent the public attitude of the consumers—
reported in the daily press—that they are looked on as profiteers.
They point out that they are now selling lumber from the mills
at an average all round reduction of nearly if not quite one-third
less than say at the beginning of the present year. They point
out further that the cost of logs to them has not dropped one cent
per thousand, nor has labor cost been reduced, and that all machin-
ery, equipment and supplies are still being sold at old high plane
rates.

Car Trade Dropping Out of Sight.

An effort is also to be made to study the western market with
a view to improving demand, which has been less favorable even
than the season would warrant. The fact is that car trade. whether
to the Canadian Northwest, to Eastern Canada or to the United
States, has dropped almost out of sight. It is quite some time
since the lumber trade saw such a dearth of orders. And to add

to the unsatisfactory condition, such orders as are offering, are

forced onto a competitive basis—it is a regular “auction market”

of the dutch variety. The low bidder gets the business when any
one of the few orders in sight is placed. Freight rate increases
undoubtedly have had a great deal to do with the stagnation in
rail trade. But lumber as well as any other commodity will have
to adjust to the new schedules. That they are here to stay, with
the exception of the five per cent reduction to be made at the first
of the year, most every one has made up his mind to believe. That
western lumber retailers have chosen:a wise and conservative

course during the 1920 season and curtailed both buying and sel-
‘ling to a minimum in an effort to put the trade on a basis is the

general view expressed by lumbermen who are in close touch with

the situation on the prairies, There never has been a time when

the western retail trade could not get its orders for stock supplied
to any extent in reason, but the action to reduce credits both ways,
has been of their own doing.

While these considerations may have some weight, there is a
well-defined idea abroad that lumber prices are in an unsettled and

unstable condition—that they are just as likely to take a tumble

than for any other commodity.

as to go up, and rather more so. Any one who knows anything
at all of conditions in the Jumber manufacturing industry on the
Pacific Coast, knows very well that there is not the least chance
in the world of a further reduction in lumber prices as received
by the manufacturer. More than one mill has notified its sales
representatives east and west that present prices do not interest
them, that they are simply not in the market on quoted offers. The
truth is that present prices being realized on ordinary mill run
erades do not show a profit at all, whe upper grades have been
cut to quite too fine a point for safety, considering the fact that
the percentage of uppers is never great enough to move off the

common stocks quickly in ordinary course of trade.

Getting To Know Where They Are.

The joint conference at Calgary is a big step in the right
direction. It will at least start something in the way of co-ordin-
ation. And that will eventually lead to stabilizing the lumber
It must not be forgotten, however, that there-are other
interests left out entirely, and which be consulted in any effort to

establish a broad basis for re-organization of the industry on a

definite plan, which will enable those in it to carry it on as any
The loggers will
eventually have to be consulted, in so far as the coast mills are
concerned at least, for seventy-five per cent. or more of the logs

cut into lumber are bought in the open market by the mills, the

two forming distinct branches of the industry. There are other
interests also, which must be taken into consideration if a working

plan is to be put in operation to prevent undue disturbances in

the lumber trade. :

No one expects or hopes for a fixed price for lumber any more
But what every one, from manu-
facturer to consumer would be justified in demanding is uniform-
ity, so that each party would know where he “was at” and could
figure on conditions for the moment as assured. If a market is
to be made satisfactory, then every factor in it must participate
in all its movements, up or down. That is the crux of the market

situation in western lumber circles—that is just what does not

exist today. There is apparently the will and the desire to attain
it on the part of the lumber producers.

Congress Had Fine List of Addresses.

Returning to the Pacific Logging Congress, and the programme
presented to the great gathering of seven hundred delegates from
all the western states and British Columbia, there were papers
and addresses from prominent authorities, both practical and
scientific from all parts of Canada and the U..S. British Columbia

contributed a well-prepared review of forestry work by that clever

public official, Chief. Forester M.A. Grainger, whose resignation ,
was heard with regret by all. The progress of Canada’s western-
most province in modern methods of forest protection were well
described. Its use of the aeroplane, wireless telephone and tele-

graph, and its extensive equipment of portable gasoline pumping |

engines for fire-fighting, were among the advances recounted.
Another British Columbian, Mr. Hugh B. Gilmour, member of

the Workman’s Compensation Board, told of the plan and work-

ing of that board, and of its collatetal work of “Safety First” in

camps, mills and factories throughout the province.

' Another B. C. contribution to the congress programme was a

_ paper on a sky-line trolley for shingle bolts, much on the order

of the sky-line of heavier type for logging operations. .Mr. H. A.
Stoltze, of the Allen-Stoltze Lumber Company was the author of
this and the equipment he described is a purely B. C. production,

a _ Huge Eastern Transfer About Completed
Consummation of the transfer of the New Brunswick Railway
~Company’s extensive timber limits, amounting to approximately
000,000 acres, to the Fraser Companies Limited, is now in course of
completion, says a recent despatch from Fredericton.
The option which the Fraser interests obtained on the New

Brunswick Railway Company’s lands at a special meeting of the
shareholders in June, expired this month, and it has since been re-
~newed, some difficulties which for a time threatened to put an end
_ to negotiations, having been ‘overcome.

The amount involved in the transfer is said to be between $11,-
000,000 and $12,000,000, and it is learned that there is soon to be a
_ flotation of preferred stock to take care of the transaction by a new
organization, which will be known either as the Fraser Company or
the Fraser Pulp and Paper Company, which will eventually absorb
all the pulp, paper and lumber enterprises of the Fraser Companies

New Position for Mr. Sherman

Darwin W. Sherman, well known to many persons in Grand
Mere, P.Q., sailed on Oct. 23 for London, where he will take over the
European sales of board manufactured by the Laurentide Company
and by Price Brothers. Mr. Sherman joined the Laurentide Com-
pany after his graduation from Yale University in 1912. During
the next three years he held many positions of importance and was
at one time in charge of the Employment Department. In his new
position, Mr. Sherman will again work for the Laurentide Company,
as he will handle the sale of board directly. :

Loggers Hear About Compensation Act
Hugh B. Gilmour, of the British Columbia Workmen's Compen-

sation Board, Victoria, recently read an interesting and instructive

paper before the Pacific Logging Congress in Vancouver on the oper-
ation of the act. He explained the methods used to collect the funds
and the manner in which they were disbursed. :

The prevention of accidents was dealt with in detail with a sum-
mary of the work of prevention committees in industrial plants and
camps. Referring to the logging industry he gave a number of
methods by which accidents could be averted and strongly advocated
the use of first aid methods. 7%

“The experience of all boards goes to show that it is the trivial

accident which may ultimately cost the most,” he said. “The applica- |

tion of a little antiseptic treatment to a trivial injury will in 99 per
cent. of the cases immediately cure, whereas when it is allowed to go
blood poison sets in, the accident may ultimately cost a large amount
in compensation, surgeon and hospital accounts and possibly the life
of the workman. ’

Speaking of lumber conditions in the West, I. R. Poole, secre-—

tary of the B. C. Mountain Lumbermen’s Association, who was in
Vancouver recently, said: ‘The demand for lumber for granaries,
which as a rule at this time of year is heavy, has fallen away consid-
erably. This is due largely to the fact that the banks are anxious
that farmers should dispose of their grain at an early date without
storing it as is the usual custom. Another factor is that the retail

companies are anxious to clean up old accounts and let their stocks |

prophecy as to the demand next year.”
In explaining the effect of the increased ‘freight rates on the

British Columbia lumber trade, Mr. Poole quoted figures which are
illuminating. Under the old schedule the rate per 100 pounds from —

Nelson to Toronto, for instance, was 72 cents or $18.72 per thousand
feet. Under the new rate the freight is 9814 cents per 100 pounds or
$25.61 per 1000 feet, an increase of $6,89. Compared with the rate
to Toronto from Arkansas City, one of the central points of the
southern pine industry, this increase is serious.
Arkansas to Toronto was 34% cents per 100 Ibs., a total of $9.37 per
1000 feet; the new rate brings his up to 48 cents per 100 tbs., or
$12.48 per 1000 feet, an increase of $3.11 only. This instance. said
Mr. Poole, showed how the British Columbia lumbermen suffered by
the increase to them being on a long haul as against the southern
dealer’s comparatively short haul. ;

“It is impossible for lumbermen to sell their product at cur-
rent price# and make any profit worth while,” said Mr. Poole.

Pulpwood and Its

Will Pulpwood Prices Come Down?

There is likely to be an over-production of pulpwood in Ontario,
accord.ng to the opinion of representative buyers. Speaking of the
general situation, one of the leading Ontario purchasers says: “Yes,
we are not buying any pulpwood at the present time as we.have car-
ried out our contracts for the present year and so far as acquiring any
stipplies on speculation is concerned, we intend to adopt a conserva-
* tive policy. The future condition of the paper market is too uncer-
tain to warrant any one being a plunger in the pulpwood business at
the present time.

“Mills on the other side of the line, outside of newsprint, are
getting quieter and there is not that keen demand which character-
ized the situation some time ago. Groundwood pulp is easing off in
price and just now many pulp mills, with whom we had placed ex-
ceptionally large quantities a few weeks ago, are only buying limited
quantities. Of course, the higher freight rates have proved a handi-
cap. I look for a fall in the price of rough spruce and balsam. The
drop will, probably, be $2.00 per cord and will be brought about owing
to transportation charges. About the lowest rate from-an Ontario
point to any mill in the Niagara or New York district is 20c per
cord. Rough spruce and balsam weighs about 4,500 Ibs. to the cord,
which would make the carrying charges $9.00. Now dry peeled
spruce and balsam only weighs 3,200 lbs., and the carrying charges
will be $6.40, or a difference of, say, $2.50, between rough and dry
peeled wood, the d‘fference being in favor of the latter. The peeling
' season is now over, and all wood that is being cut is rough and if it is
to compete with the dry peeled product the rough must come down at
least a couple of dollars.

“There is more pulpwood being offered us than we can accept at
the present time, and not only are all farmers and settlers cutting
pulpwood, but many lumbermen and limit owners have gone into
this pursuit almost exclusively. The natural result is developing in
northern Ontario, viz., over-production.

“South of North Bay rough spruce and balsam is seliing at $13.00
to $14.00 per cord, f.o.b. cars, and peeled spruce and balsam, $21.00
to $22.00 per cord, f.o.b. cars. Peeled poplar is bringing $12.00 to
$14.00 and peeled hemlock $15.00, f.o.b. cars. North of North Bay
prices are from $1.00 to $2.00 less owing to the higher freight rates.”

Great New Quebec Rich in Pulpwood

In northern Quebec, in that part of the Province lying adja-
cent to the Province of Ontario and extending from the south end
of Lake Timiskaming away north to and beyond the National
Transcontinental Railway, and in fact reaching away into the dis-
trict of Ungava, one of the last remaining great opportunities of
Empire building is gradually unfolding.

Vast as are the potentialities of this enormous area in minerals,
there is an immense wealth in other natural resources which are
plainly visible.’ Chief among these are scores and even hundreds of
miles of unbroken timberlands over which is massed in unbroken
lines millions of cords of the finest spruce pulp on the continent.
Captains. of industry who have followed the growth of the
mining, farming and pulp and paper industry in Northern Ontario,
and who have seen more than a quarter of a billion produced in
silver and gold alone, with many added millions in products of the
pulp and paper mills, as well as from the agricultural pursuits, are
unanimous in expressing boundless confidence in this result being
_ duplicated in the great new Quebec which is about to be opened up.
Indeed, on almost every hand, those who are given to making ob-
servations of progress, as well as future possibilities, are found ex-
pressing great wonder that the opening of this part of Quebec
should have been left until. this late date.

The Canadian Pacific Railway has decided to enter north-
western Quebec and has already completed surveys from Kipawa
~.on the south to the Des Quinse on the north, and plans to com-
+ mence actual construction work this fall. The early completion of
this stretch of three-score miles or so following a route close to the
east shore of Lake Timiskaming, and possibly touching at Ville
~ Marie, will terminate at the great series of waterfalls known as Des
Quinse.

Ready Market for Northern Pulpwood

Word comes from northern Ontario that the settlers this year
are reaping a splendid harvest in the matter of pulpwood owing to
the active demands from the mills, particularly the newsprint plants,
who are taking every precaution to be assured of an ample supply —
due to the “vorld-wide requisition for paper. Many sawmill men
are also cutting their small logs into pulpwood. The lumber busi- —
ness is rather quiet at the present time compared with the activity in |
pulp and paper circles, and this naturally directs attention to pulp-
wood. In the Cobalt district the prevailing price at the present _
time is around $15.00, with a payment of $5.00 on account as soon
as the wood is cut and piled in the bush. Some mill interests are |
offering” as high as $18.00 for delivery at the tracks. The latter rate |
is a very attractive one to those w ho have sufficient capital to keep
them going until they can make delivery at the track. The majority
of settlers, however, cannot do this as they need “progress payments” —
to maintain themselves until hauling begins and carry on the
work especially if they are employing men to cut for them.

Four or five years ago the price for pulpwood was only $4.50 to
$5.00 a cord. At that figure the settler, even when his home was
close to the track, could just about make wages and nothing more,
while those living a few miles in from the line of steel could only
ship out their pulpwood at a loss, a large portion of the cost being
absorbed in hauling.

With the present high prices, however, these homesteaders can
now ship out their pulpwood with a good margin of profit. Many
residing four and five miles from a siding have now entered the
business, and carry on successfully. If prices continue to advance
those living six and seven miles away will be at last able to find a

market for their pulpwood, instead of having to burn it as they clear
their land. Those living close to the track make big profits on the

Some settlers who do not care to enter the pulpwood business
themselves are able to dispose of the material at from 50c. to $1 or |
more per cord “on the stump,” according to its proximity to the |
cars, and are thus receiving some revenue from their land owing to
the boom. Men employed in cutting are being paid $6 per cord, and
as a good cutter can cut and pile over a cord and a half per day, not a
few of them are earning as high as ten dollars per day.

Fire-killed spruce—that is, spruce from which the bark has been
removed by bush fires, and which is otherwise undamaged—is in
considerable demand, and realizes a higher price than the green
green spruce at
the present time fetching around eleven dollars. This fact goes to
prove that the settler sometimes benefits instead of loses when a_
bush fire gets in amongst his pulpwood. A few years ago a carload
of fire-killed spruce was sent to one of the large pulp mills by a
settler near Cochrane, Ont., to ascertain if this class of material could
not be utilized, as there is a large quantity of it in burnt-over areas.
This trial order proved a failure, and the mill interests refused to
accept any more of it. Since then further experiments have been
made, and means discovered whereby it can be used to advantage.

Price Bros. Form New Company |
The shareholders of Price Bros. & Co., Limited, of Quebec, re- |
cently received a circular outlining, in part, the plan evolved by the —
directors of the company for the turning over of the present company’s —
assets and business as a going concern to a new company to be known |
as Price Brothers & Company, Limited, a corporation formed in 1920, —
The change will be effected, with the approval of shareholders, on No-
vember 1, next.

Accord:ng to the circular, the business will be turned over to the
new organization on November 1, the new company assuming the —
assets and liabilities of the old company, including the bonded “debt,
$5,172,098 at 5 per cent., as of November 1, the present Price Bros.
company receiving in consideration therefore 426,710 shares of a par
value of $100 each, in the new company.

The present outstanding common capitalization of Price Bros. —
Company is 85,342 shares. ‘Chis would indicate that shareholders in —
the present company would be given stock in.the company in lieu of —
their holdings turned in, in ratio of five new shares for each one share —
now held. The new company will have a capital outstanding, there- ©
fore, of $42, 671,000, as compared with 1 See 200, the present capital |
outstanding.

_ The board of directors of the company has already approved the
plan, and it now remains for shareholders to ratify the deal, and
they will be offered this opportunity at a special general meeting

Quebec, at 3 p.m.

The market for the stock on the Montreal Stock Exchange has
lately reflected the approach of this deal, and from a steady level of |
In 1919, the low

=e. Ul. SS Se

a CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER OTe

for the stock was 155 and the high 260. The low price this year to
date is 258.

The deal as it will be placed before the shareholders at the special
meeting will mark the rounding out of the company’s: organization, .
and probably indicate a new-era of development for the company.

The company operates eleven saw mills at Batiscan,*Montmagny,
Rimouski, St. Jaste, Trois Saumon, Price, Natane, Salmon Lake, St.
Marguerite, St. Gedeon, and Jonquiere, with a combined capacity of
about 1,000,000 feet board measure per day. Shingle mills are also
operated at Rimouski, Matane, and Salmon Lake, with a combined
capacity of 600,000 shingles per day.

The Kenogami Paper Mill has a daily capacity of 280 tons of
newsprint per day, with excellent power facilities, the hydraulic de-
velopment being 24,000 horse power under a head of 285 feet, this
permitting of substantial extensions. The mill site is in the heart
of the company’s timber limits, located upon the same river as the
Jonquiere mill which has for some years been producing pulp, and
later cardboard and paper. The mill has an annual capacity of 8,000

Sir William Price, Quebec, P. Q.

tons of cardboard; 15,000 tons of groundwood, and 11,000 tons of
paper. The Rimouski groundwood mills has a capacity of 9,000 tons
per annum.

The company’s products are being extensively and favorably
marketed in the United States, Great Britain, other countries, as well
as in Canada.

Pigeon River Company Gets Damages

Judgment was handed down by Mr. Justice Lennox at Toronto
recently in the action of the Pigeon River Lumber Company, Limited,
against the Pulpwood Company of Appleton, Wisconsin, and the
Russell Timber Company, Limited, of Port Arthur, awarding the
plaintiff company judgment against the defendants for $6,500 -dam-
ages and costs. This was an action brought by the defendants for
damages in obstructing the plaintiff in its drive on the Black Sturgeon
River, and was tried without a jury at Port Arthur at the March sit-
tings of the Supreme Court of Ontario, when judgment was reserved.
Morris and Babe acted as solicitors for the plaintiff. A. J. McComber

Reduce Present Lumber Cut by One-Half

By. Frank J. D. Barnjum, Annapolis Royal, N. S.
The International Paper Company, in a recent advertisement in
“American Forestry,* states, “If the, Canadian Forests held by

leases which convey all rights of property to the timber could now be

regulated, and scientifically protected and operated as are the com-
pany’s forests in the United States, there 1s ample authority- for
an annual increment of at least four per cent.”

In the first place, it would be interesting to know of any lands
in the United States-or Canada, either owned by the International
Paper Company or anyone else, that are producing a net annual in-
crement of four per cent.

Secondly, if the International Paper Company is practising scien-
tific forestry methods on its lands in the United States, it also would
be interesting to know where.

The only practical forestry, and the only way we can save the

(2) By greatly increased fire protection. -

(3) By improved and less wasteful logging methods. '
(4) By planting at least six seedlings for every tree cut oF

otherwise destroyed, (as not more than one tree out of six planted
ever reaches maturity). 2 Zz

To show the fallacy of the statement of the International Pape
Company, it is clear that if there had been a net annual incremem
of even one-half of one per cent., on this continent (instead of 7
annual growth of four per cent., as claimed), there would be mor
timber standing today than there was one hundred years ago. —

It must be borne in mind that even if we reduced the prese
volume of the cut one-half and began planting, not millions
billions of seedlings, it would entail a wait of at least fifty to sevent
five years for the maturing of the crop, while the best authorities ¥
have in the country state that the present supply of timber in th
East will be exhausted within a period of twenty-five years.

Therefore, all this idle talk about supplying our mills in per
petuity by improved forestry methods, is simply pure bunkum, unles
we at least reduce our cut, at once, to one-half the present amount. —

This applies with double force to Canada, due to the fact t
fire has done, and is doing, a far greater damage than in the Ur
States, and from the added fact that a large portion of our w
growth is so far north that it is too small, too scrubby and too inac
cessible to be available as a pulp supply, and also from the fact

F. J. D. Barnjum, Annapolis Royal, N.S.

it is acknowledged that the standing supply of timber in Canada is |

only about one-fourth of the amount still remaining in the United
States, small as their supply now is. <

The thought which I wish to bring out prominently is that,, even”
if we at once begin planting six trees for every tree cut or destroyed,
it will take fifty to seventy-five years for the new crop. Hence, it is
necessary, immediately, to reduce our cut, at least one-half, in order
to make our remaining supply hold out till the new crop matures.

The above conclusion is based on the claim of the best authorities
that we have a twenty-five year supply in the East. On the other
hand, if my opinion is correct that this supply will last not more than
fifteen years, then the gap between the end of the present supply and
the maturity of the new crop will be correspondingly greater.

fn addition to the fire loss, the loss that is being caused throu;
the ravages of the Spruce Bud Worm and other enemies of our
ests is simply appalling; in fact, at the present time, and during th
last three or four years, it has amounted to more than our loss iron
fire and wind. se

The International Paper Company states in its advertisem
that they have holdings amounting to 4,500,000 acres that will averag
five cords per acre; but they fail to state the fact that of these hold-
ings only in the vicinity of 750,000 acres are in the United Stat
and even conceding their own figure of five cords per acre, and

ficient to supply their American mills for a period of five years.
Small wonder there was frantic appeal for the passage of
Underwood resolution. ;

Why the North is Discontented

“No wonder there is a feeling among the people in the northern
.country that some step towards secession should be taken,” remarked
J. J. Carrick, of Port Arthur in an interview recently. “Due to the
timber investigation and the inaction of the Department of Lands,
Forests and Mines, no permits or timber leases are. being issued in
Northern Ontario, and consequently no men are going into the
woods. About this time of the year there are usually 4,000 or 5,000
men in the bush taking out ties and pulpwood and carrying on other
ae At present, however, practically everything is at a stand-
still.

Pertinent Pointers for the Lumberman

Some dealers who would never take a nickel not belonging -to-

them will cheerfully grab a cash account they are not entitled to.

To enlarge the State Forests of Pennsylvania as rapidly as
possible so that eventually the 5,000,000 acres comprising the Penn-
Sylvania Desert may be converted into profitable timber produc-

Every friend is one less enemy.

The education that stops is a poor thing.

The value of thought lies only in its accomplishment.

Learn to lose yourself in the business of the firm and your future
is made, :

When in the right you can afford to keep your temper and when
in the wrong, you can’t afford to lose it.

Some lumbermen who have been barely able to keep their heads
above water are the longest in giving advise as to how a competitor
should run his business. And the funny thing is they don’t apply
their own advice right at home. It reminds us of that old story
about the mote and the beam. ‘4

Ontario and the East

While conditions in the lumber arena are quiet at the present
time and the majority of firms report little business doing, a number
‘declare that trade is spotty and spasmodic. On the whole they have
‘been enjoying a fair car sale each week, but, of course, the aggregate
is not nearly as large as in normal times. There is a great deal of
‘speculative discussion regarding prices, and the questions heard on
vall sides is will values rise, fall or become stabilized,

| The lumber market at the present time is a declining one so
far as quotations are concerned, and how low prices will go remains
‘to be seen. There is a firm impression that they will never get down
to anywhere near pre-war standards. Of course, last spring when
WS clamor for hardwoods of all kinds was most insistent, there was
a great deal of jockeying and what one might almost term as curb-
brokering in certain lines of hardwood than were in great demand.
_ Wood- using industries were all rushed to the limit and were calling
for supplies which, in many cases, owing to the shortage of stocks,
could not be met. Not a few firms gave their buyers injunctions to
procure the grades and quantities required irrespective of price, and
‘an orgy of excitement and speculation set in. Then came a quieter
‘period in the lumber line and the demand from the United States
hardwood ,consuming centres fell off considerably. Furniture fac-
tories became quiet, the automobile business rapidly decreased, piano
“manufacturers were running on short time and even phonograph
plants ceased to call for heavy supplies.

,- Speaking of the hardwood situation generally, a leading whole-
sale lumberman stated this week that the American yards in many
instances were stocked to the limit, that there was little or no demand
/and would not likely be any until after the presidential elections or
early in the year. So far as local requisitions are concerned, he said
they are only about half of normal. In regard to diminishing values,
he added that they would never return to 1914 basis, but that he ex-
pected the figures, which ruled in 1919 on northern hard and soft-
~ woods would, possibly, be reached in the near future. The old low
levels would never be ushered in again for the simple reason that
costs of production were bound to remain high, railway rates had
ascended materially and general overhead and distribution expenses,
while they might come down, would never get back to ante bellum
days. Various views are heard with regard to the future. Some
observers of the situation declare that, while prices may be shattered
at the present time in hardwoods, they are bound to come back with
a vengeance, and will go even higher than they did in the spring of
1920 when the increase ranged from 100% upwards to as high as 300%
over the rates which prevailed in 1918 and the beginning of 1919.

i In respect to the softwood market, conditions remain unchanged.
There is not much shipping going on to the other side and the retail
dealers are simply marking time until they get rid of some of their
high-priced stocks, White pine is holding its own, but very few cars
of B. C. forest products are being sold. The high freight rates which
have not altogether been adjusted or absorbed by all the mills, are
causing consumers to wait awhile. Then southern pine is being
offered at ridiculously low prices; in fact, the country is being
flooded with circulars making such quotations for all grades and
sizes as were not dreamed of three months ago. With some Ameri-
can firms it appears to be a case of desiring to unload at any cost.

In this issue the “Canada Lumberman” presents opinions from
representative manufacturers in various parts of eastern Canada,
showing that the cut will be somewhat curtailed and quite a few
- firms will not get out as many logs as last year. While wages in the
) woods are stiff at the present time and in some instances fully $10.00
higher than last season, it is expected that there will be a recession
before many weeks are over.

. Owing to the fine fall weather a number of mills, which usually
“have closed down by this time, are still operating, but, generally
' speaking, the majority of the plants will finish cutting about the 10th

or 15th of November. Much depends upon weather conditions.
- When the mills are closed down and the harvest hands return from
the west, it is expected that there will be a surplus of woods labor.
Exaggerated reports are heard respecting labor and camps, which
cannot be verified. One is to the effect that a leading concern re-
“duced the wages of its men from $70.00 to $50.00, and that they were
glad to remain on at this figure, while another rumor is that some

lost in the telling, and in quiet times the tendency is to paint the pic- ,
ture a little darker than it really is.

~
Eastern firms have received word from the Coast to the effect
that the shingle situation is not at all active, and that a large numbk
of mills had closed down. It was also stated that by the end of the
month a big percentage of the sawmills would become inopera
owing to lack of business and that a majority of the logging camp
would also be shut down. ae,
.
In the yards around the mills stocks are not heavy, and as bus
ness is quiet and not many orders coming-in, there is, declare
western authority, not much possibility of the plants opening up ;
until more business is in sight from the east and also th
States. The banks will not finance the mills to go on cuttix
pile stock in the yards, so there is nothing for them to d o bu
down. Under thése conditions it may be expected that prices
go lower as the orders that are likely to come in will take care ¢
mills that are operating. The tide-water mills here are very a
at the present time owing to export business. The other mills
will continue to operate are those in the interior and on the is’
who have their own timber and mills adjacent to same, |
obtain their logs cheaply. reg

United States aT
Business in the lumber line is very quiet at the present tim
and it is not expected there will be any activity until after the ele
tions. Everybody is sitting tight and waiting the outcome of
great political struggle. Various opinions are expieaned ea
the trend of lumber prices. Many think the bottom has been r
others are confident that rates will go lower, while not a_
that as soon as a sturdy demand sets in again, quotations will
higher than at any period since the war. There is a variety | ws
and one may select from the multitude exactly what suit his or her i
own individual taste. The hope is not only expressed but also con-—
fidence that by the first of the year the requisitions for idiabe oe
materially increase and prices advance. This optimistic prediction —
is based on radical curtailment in supply. The majority of the mills —
on the Coast have either shut down or radically reduced their out-
put. Logs are very scarce and the limited available supply has been —

increased. 7 a
Commenting upon the general trend of things, a western con- :

temporary says: “It is a very common thing these days to hear or ‘

read that the country is going through a period of liquidation a id

- . .

that when the process is completed the economic, industrial and busi- —
bust-

ness situation will improve. It has been pointed out by a well known ~
lumberman, who is something of a student of such things, that
“period of liquidation” is the new term for what formerly was called

“panic,” and he says that the present situation would be a real panic
were it not for the steadying influence of our present banking sys-
tem. So far as business is concerned, and the lumber business in
particular, he says that the effect of this period of liquidation is much __
the same as was the effect of what we used to calla pamic.
Be that as it may, it is certain that the country is passing through
some sort of a period, which is not altogether satisfactory to any-—
body. In one large city, where there are probably more skilled —
mechanics than at other points, thousands of them are tempc
out of work because the industry in which they were emp
suffering from the period of liquidation. "What is true of that «
more or less true of other cities. N-i e

But even the depression of the present cannot dim the hope
that trade will be better before the end of the year. This hope is
based on the known fact that construction work is needed and ot
the expectation that the banks will soon make it easier for build
to get money for legitimate enterprises. : ay

If hardwood lumber prices were inordinately high last spri
they have now gone to the other extreme, and some of the offerin
are made at prices below the cost of production. Not only are 1
losing money at some of the prices at which stock is being offe
and sold, but many a wholesaler is obliged to take less for his lum
ber than he paid for it. Of course, this is not true, either in the cé
of the mills or the wholesalers on all of the business done, but as a
general thing the man who has a stock of hardwood lumber will be —
money ahead if he refuses to sell it at the current market. One con-_
solation lies in the fact that the bottom has probably been reached

| had if any demand makes: its appearance there will be a reaction.
| Factory consumers are known to be low in supply of raw material.
ie They are buying a little to keep them going on business on hand, of
which there is not much. But with any increase in the demand ‘for
nished products they will be forced into the market. Stocks of
hardwood lumber, ity at northern and southern mills, are below
normal, and many mills have announced a programme of curtailment
until the market revives. This makes certain that the supply will be
short if the demand approaches normal.

Great Britain

Owing to the acute industrial situation, the number of strikes,
‘and general labor agitation which has been going on during the past
few weeks, business is largely at a standstill and nothing new will
Pikely develop for some time. The outlook is rather uncertain. Were
it not for the labor troubles which constantly crop up, it is believed
that business would speedily improve and that there would be a
revival in demand. Prices have been holding eoty firm but there
‘is little new in the general conditions.

Recent advices from Liverpool state that while the imports dur-
ge the present season reckoned on the standard basis cannot
_ xpproach in any way the aggregate of prewar days, still when present
values are taken into consideration the story is one of a different
nature. With values at their present enhanced figures and profits
nowadays invariably beyond the meagre margin ruling prior to the
war, most of the importers are quite content to handle hundreds of
"standards whereas previously any season’s total yearly imports for
the particular firms reached a total of many hundreds >of standards.

Speaking of the freight outlook, the “Timber News” of London
. says :—It is very pleasing to learn of the reductions being made by

| Market Correspo

Ottawa Lumber Prices are Likely to Hold Firm
Firm prices, coupled with a slow demand and a poor outlook
“toward the labor end as to woods operations, marked the Ottawa
b lumber market during the closing period of October. Though prices
<ept up there was little or nothing in the market to justify the ex-
“pectation expressed by some of the trade, that lumber would do a
“come back” price before the year was out.

From all appearances from the Ottawa end of the market, the
price of lumber is likely to hold firm until the early spring months,
There are a variety of reasons and factors, best known to the lum-
Bee-men of the Ottawa Valley for such a statement. Nobody is go-
ing to throw any stock away, and unless they can clearly see where
the replacement stock is coming from, (at the present a lot of them
don’t,) they are adopt.ng the safety attitude of carrying over the
stock on hand rather than dispose of it.

A wide variety of stories concerning the production output
was talked of in the trade, but as a confidence must be respected,
ittle if anything can be said at the present ‘time. *

_. With the next month it would not be at all surprising to certain
i ir’ the manufacturing trade if a unique and unlooked for surprise in
‘regard to the w oods labor situation was sprung.

During September and October, the shortage of labor in the
woos camps was generally admitted, and it was acknowledged by
leading operators that the situation was the most serious ever ex-
“ perienced in the Ottawa Valley.

* Without telling any tales out of school, the aianke of a first
class battle, which if it materializes, will cost both sides heavily
financially, is to be staged between the lumber and the pul Ge
‘companies.

According to one of the opinions piven to the correspondent
of the “Canada Lumberman,” a large part of the present woods’
‘labor shortage can be attributed to the high wages that is being
offered by the pulpwood operators.

- “Tf a woodsman can go into a camp and get from one hundred
‘to one hundred and twenty-five dollars per month with board, from a
“pulp company, he can hardly be expected to work for a lumber firm
at wages from sixty-five to eighty-five dollars per month. Pulp-
wood is now high on the market. Lumber is slow or at the best is
only stationary “and the outcome of this season’s operations is un-
certain,’ was the comment of one of the heads of the leading lumber
: operators in the Ottawa Valley.
Mi Though orders were slow, there was, if anything, an increase
in de Amber of inquiries to the trade for ‘the better grades of white

plus now on hand will be sufficient to meet the ordinary needs of
the trade for some months to come, while others claim that the’
resumption of building operations which is- thought to he near,
will soon create an acute shortage of lumber.

As the great bulk of the sawn lumber produced in Nova Scotia
and New Brunswick, particularly the spruce finds a market in the
British Isles, shippers are carefully watching developments there
in an effort to gauge the situation for the coming year. At the
present time industry in these Provinces, that before the close of
the present season, conditions may improve sufficiently to justify
the views of the more optimistic.

The time seems to be ripe for some sort of an organization
embracing the lumber exporters of Nova Scotia or preferably of
Nova Scotia and New Brunswick as a protective measure. There
are many matters affecting the trade in general that could be dealt
with to the mutual advantage of all concerned by a representative
union of shippers, without in any way interfering with the free-
dom of the individual members.

Co-operation is the order of the day, and the unsual conditions
confronting the trade at this time seems to demand that some such
action be taken. Sweden, one of our chief competitors has already
organized an Exporters’ Union, and there is a counter movement
on.foot now in England to form an Importers’ Union, which is
probably an outgrowth of the Associated Importers, Limited. In
the face of these recent developments affecting the principal market
for the lumber from the Maritime Provinces, it seems obvious that
the best interests of the trade can only be served by concerted ac-
tion on the part of those engaged in the export of deals from the
lower ports to the British market.

The American market has been decidedly dull for some weeks:

past. This is the time of year when ordinary building sizes should
be in fair demand, but although the quantity of stock in the hands
of American buyers is reported light, there has not yet been any
Some say the Presiden-
tial Elections have something to do with this state of affairs, while
others claim that the action of the railways in adding a 40 per cent.
increase to the freight rate has had a depressing affect on the trade.

The local demand at Halifax and other industrial centres in
Nova Scotia has eased off considerably following the decline of
building activities. Stocks in most of the yards are light, and prices
are holding firm, with an upward tendency owing to the increased
freight rate. In spite of an exceptionally active year in house-
building, there is still a serious shortage of houses. A great deal
of construction proposed for this year was abandoned owing to
the difficulty of securing a sufficient supply of material. A recent
report of the Housing Commission states that Halifax needs 1,000
new houses. This work will be carried on next season, so that the
outlook for the coming year is quite encouraging.

It is a little early yet to say whether the production for 1921
will be up to the average or not. Many of the operators do not
seem disposed to operate on a very large scale in view of present
conditions while some state they will have only a fraction of their
last year’s cut. This decision is, no doubt, due to the greatly in-
creased cost of production, and the narrow margin of profit in
sight for the manufacturer at the present prevailing prices. As one
operator put it. “While a man might have a little margin left
over this year after paying business profits tax and sales tax, the
chances are very small fot the coming season with the greatly in-
creased cost of railway transporation added.”

Labor conditions are reported satisfactory, and if there is a
fair amount of work available during the coming winter, wages
will probably remain about stationary.

Export Market is Minus Quantity at St. John

The market as an exporting one is about dead at St. John, N.B.
No shipping in any direction is taking place. No sales.are being
made except a few cars here and there, and if sales could be made,
much lower prices for random would have to be accepted, and should
the brokers accept these lower prices, they would be at a serious loss,
as all the lumber at St. John was contracted for this spring and last
winter at the very highest prices. Furthermore, should present Am-
erican prices be accepted, it would be at a rate below present produc-
ing costs.

Not a contract has been made as yet for any winter sawn lumber.
This, certainly, shows the condition of the market and the feeling of
timidity among the buyers who have bought heavily and have their

funds tied up. With the banks refusing to go on with any more ad-

vances, certainly it is a serious state of affairs, but if production is
limited this coming year, it will be the very best thing that could
happen to prevent a serious panic in the industry. No stumpage can
be bought today at last year’s prices, every holder asking’ $1.00 to $2.00
per M more for his or her stumpage, and as it is certainly coming to

the end of our forest production, no one can blame them, for they ;
finally get their price in the near future. ,
Stocks at St. John of deals and scantlings may be quite heay
by the end of November, but from that forward, they will begin t
reduce, and if no cutting is done this winter, certainly prices will 1
steadied. The future holds no dark horizon for the lumber trad
irrespective of what the bankers and laymen may think. Forest
tell the tale no book or word can pen. Local factory conditions ar
still good, retail prices in spruce and pine still are maintained, and
only reductions are in B, C, products, which were abnormal com
pared with spruce and pine, and are slightly reduced. a
Stocks of low-grade or refuse lumber are well reduced, and \
sold up, and about the only shipments are in low-grade lumber. _
No crews as yet are being sent.to the woods. Wages are e
and men, who do not at once seek a winter’s work, will be left withe
employment. ’
It is said that there will be a reduction of, at least, 800 mill
of sawn lumber in Maine and New Brunswick and Nova Scotia
1921. This estimate is conservative, and unless buyers and the pt
in general get busy and buy for future needs, their costs will be
to a large extent in the coming year. 7

‘Shipping Situation in Quebec is Slowing Down
There has been a slight reaction in the shipment of timbh
deals from the port of Quebec to thé United Kingdom I
last two weeks, notwithstanding, that the demand is still very m

in abeyance. Three vessels have taken part cargo, the steamer }
chester Civilian, for Manchester; the steamer Venosia for L on
and the Manchester Corporation for Manchester. There are s
sailings of the Canadian Pacific Ocean Service Lines, from |
to Liverpool, which will take on small parcels of sawn lumber
erpool, that will close the shipments for the season of 1920 i
Lawrence. ' 4
The scarcity of the demand for lumber both in the United
dom and the United States markets, together with the labo
for higher wages, has so discouraged the manufacturing int
the district of Quebec that several mill owners threatened to ch
their plants during the coming winter. This seemingly
of bringing the jobbers to their senses, and it is now thoug
mills will continue to manufacture for next year’s market.
The pulpwood industry in the meantime, is not worrying.
seems to be no let up in the demand, and the only thing that is bo
‘ng the dealers is the insufficiency of cars to transport the wood fror
Quebec to the mills in the United States. In the meantime, the con
tinual increase in the price of wood is a source of anxiety to the
American pulp and paper manufacturers and their clients in the n
paper business. It now costs from thirty-six dollars to thi
dollars a cord for pulpwood shipped from the district of
before it is laid down at the American mills.
The St. Regis Pulp and Paper Co., of Carthage, near er
N. Y., who are the owners of! the Godbout and St. Simeon lin
lower St. Lawrence, are about to open an office in Quebec,
management of Mr. Charles G. Levy, son of Mr. John Le
well known Quebec firm of W. & J. Sharples, and it is sé
St. Regis Co. will build a mill to ross the pulpwood cut on |

There are eight hundred and thirty pulp and paper .

these mills in operation. These’include forty-five mills in Maine, on

Hampshire, and thirty-eight in the state of Pennsylvania, that

depending in a large degree on the provinces of Quebec and Onta
jor their supply of wood, and if the embargo on the export of
from these provinces is,adhered to, it would compel the mills in

The high cost of labor entailed in the cutting of lumber
wood in the woods at present, is becoming a serious question, ;
less the trade takes some means to curtail the prices paid, the
of labor is likely to go even higher. It was pointed out by you
respondent in his last communication to the “Canada Lumberr

tracted with several farmers of that place to peel the product for five”
dollars per cord which gave them about seven dollars and fifty cents

men that he had another lot of wood to peel. They refused to do the
work unless the price was augmented by fifty per cent.

As already pointed out in the “Canada Lumberman,” jobbers are
paying farmers eight dollars per cord to cut pulpwood in the district
of Quebec, and as'two men can cut on an ayerage of three cords per
day it will be seen that each farmer is earning a wage of twelve dol-
lars per day. But this is not the worst feature, the farmers are aban-
doning their land to earn this big money and if a stop 1s not put to
the practice, agriculture is bound to deteriorate in the province.

Your correspondent, in the course of investigation into these mat-
ters, and the necessity of bringing foreign labor into the country to
relieve a situation that would have the effect in having the farmers
remain on their land and at the same time lessen the cost of produc-
tion, and lighten the burden of manufacturer and consumer, ap-
proached the. Hon. Mr. J. E. Caron, Minister of Agriculture for Que-
bec. Mr. Caron is a practical farmer and a man who takes a keen
scientific interest in agriculture. He talked the matter over with
your representative. Mr. Caron, who thoroughly understands the
question of the farmer leaving his land, and his reluctance to till the
soil when he is receiving such high wages for the cutting of pulpwood,
says the question is a problem to which he is giving his careful con-
sideration.

Mr. Caron remarked that the province of Quebec has and is still
spend:ng a large amount of money on scientific agriculture to keep the
farmer upon the land. His department was using every effort to make
farm life attractive. He was, however, against immigration of foreign
labor to take the place of the farmer in the cutting of pulpwood in
the woods. Mr. Caron used the argument that Canada was over-
industrialized for the size of the population of the country. “These
manufacturing interests,” said Mr. Caron, “with their modern ma-
chinery, eight hour day work and high rate of wages paid for labor, not
necessarily skilled in the main, was the cause of attracting the farmer
from the land. The farmer has to work on his land from early morn
until late in the evening, and when his work is finished he is without
social diversion. The mill worker, on the contrary, puts in his eight
per hour per day, his work is light and clean, and consequently he is
not tired at the finish. In the evening he has his social attractions
that make him a candidate for ever afterwards to partake of city life.
This jt must be admitted is thé magnet that is drawing the farmer
from the land and, if pulpwood has become a factor it is on account of
the great demand of the newspaper publisher. Let the newspaper pub-
lisher curtail the size of his paper and the demand for pulpwood will
decrease.”

In regard to foreign labor in the woods, Mr. Caron said the farmer
is best adapted for the cutting of pulpwood. He knows how to wield
the axe and pick out the tree as well as to drive. Italian labor would

‘not do for this work; he is a good railroad builder, but “in my

opinion,” said the minister, “would be lost in making pulpwood. The
Belgian and French men are not emigrating from their respective
countries to come to Canada. British immigrants are valueless for
the reason that they will not assimilate with the French-Canadians.
We have this experience in this province. I know of one hundred
farms owned by English men in the province who desire to sell their

properties in order that they may be enabled to go West. The Eng- -
dish will:not be ruled, and once the French-Canadian settles in their

vicinity and becomes a majority, the English want to sell out and get
awav West.” :

With all due respect to Mr. Caron and his opinions in regard
to immigration to the province of Quebec, his ideas on this head are
scouted by men spoken to in the trade who say the argument of the
minister is a camouflage to hide the real depth of the meaning that
the French-Canadians do not desire either British or Italian labor to
settle in the province, which they look forward to being absolutely a
French-Canadian independent entity of the Dominion of Canada.

Good Demand for Cordwood and Ties

Cordwood at the present time is very scarce and practically
impossible to obtain. One wholesale dealer in Toronto stated re-
cently that he could find a market for several hundred cats if he
could place his hand on ‘the product. Beach and maple are required

by fuel merchants owing to the shortage of coal and the pre-

vailing price for hardwood is from $10 to $11, f.o.b. cars.

Two or three years ago every owner of a bush was advised to
cut cordwood due to the famine in coal. This was done and before
all the product was disposed of, the fuel situation improved with
the result that nobody has been cutting cordwood to any great ex-
tent during the past year or two.

There is also a good demand for ties at the piesent time on the
part of purchasers. Some railroad representatives are holding back
thinking that ties, which have advanced from l15c to 30c a piece,
will be purchased cheaper next year when labor is more reasonable
in its demands and the cost of boarding men and getting out the

timber has fallen. One leading railway tie company stated ‘rece 2
ly that they were taking no chances with the future but were buy:
ing all the sleepers that they possibly could and desired more. Ab
though purchasing costs were high, still now is the season when
sawn and pole ties are turned out in large quantities, and next
April, May and June, when they are required, certain interests w ich
are holding back, may not be able to obtain the same because cheag
ties or even ties of any kind will not be available. ..

“We have every faith that, while the situation may be a litt
quiet at present, the demand for ties next spring is going to b
particularly strong, and those concerns which are holding bac
will find they will not be able to get supplies when they wai
them,” declared one firm.

Marked Slump in September Building

September, normally the month for building recession, runs t
to form this year, says the “American Contractor,” with a defir
slump in construction, according to building statistics from %
cities. These reports give a total valuation of $101,834,729 for ¢
383 permits issued, or an average valuation of $501,640 for Se pte
ber. This is considerably below the computed average mon
valuation per city for the first eight months of 1920, which is $69
920. ; ho »
September showed gains in 71 cities over August and lo
96, Los Angeles and Detroit making the largest gains. Chicag
mits, which dropped in August from July, make another
more than $1,500,000 in September, and the Borough of Mamnhatt
also shows a decided reduction.. Comparison of Septe activi
for this year and for 1919 reveals a 40 per cent. recession for 1!
August showed a 32 per cent: recession over August, 1919. Wh
it is considered that the estimated cost of practically e
building is from one to three times what it was in 1913
taking into account the lower purchasing power of the
September slump of this year is all the more marked. If
of projected work were the basis of comparison rather than mone-
tary value, the 1920 operations would drop below the average
each month since April when building permits reache be KCE
tional figure of $113,000,000. . , peers: =

With Lumber Retailers Lies the Contre

Low stocks in the yards of the lumber retailers during ¢ e nex
few weeks may again invite a “runaway” market, such as prevaile

during the latter part of 1919 and early weeks of 1920. The acute
housing shortage demands building. And the demand will be met,
sooner or later, say advices from Chicago. oa ee

The lumber production situation differs from of a
ago. Unshipped stocks of most items are plentiful in the ;
If they continue to pile up, production will be still furth
or mills will close down. In such event, the supply
be less plentiful later in the season or next seas en
activity renews the active demand for lumber for immedia
very. . gr ie

With ‘the lumber retailers largely lies the control of the
situation. If their buying is steady and continuous, ins’
mittent and spasmodic; and if they keep their ya
stocked up, they may avoid the repetition of the panic
and erratic fluctuations which have characterized the lur
during the past year and a half. At the same time the
encouraged steady production enabling the mills to proc
supply at a lower cost per thousand feet. ae

The ‘lumber producer can give best service with a
steady demand and with a stable market. In the long
“boom” prices do not pay. The subsequent “famine”
pays for the “feast.” a

New Concern Acquires Pembroke Lumber Co.

The first move on behalf of the big British interests, who have
recently become very heavily financially interested in Canadian
“lumber, pulp and paper operations, and in connection with which
there is still another gigantic merger under consideration, evidenced
itself in the Ottawa Valley late in October, when the McGuire,
Patterson, and Palmer Company of Canada, Limited, absorbed and
took over all the properties previously belonging to the Pembroke
Lumber Company. About 800 square miles of timber land and
limits, together with the mill properties located at Pembroke, were
taken over by the British interests.

A large splint manufacturing business, so it is stated, is to be
‘started at Pembroke. The Canadian Company, it is also understood,
‘thas under contemplation the establishment of a large match

Knox Bros. Secure Plant at Quebec

YY Knox Bros., Limited, wholesale lumbermen of Montreal, have
- bought the Davie Shipbuilding plant No. 4 at St. Joseph de Levis,

Que., for manufacturing purposes.

The Davie Shipbuilding plant No. 4 is located at the west side
of the Orleans ferry landing, Quebec, and is distinct from the ship-
building plant with the old and new dry docks and machine shops.
This plant was established at the outbreak of the war to build sub-
| marine chasers, and later was utilized to build wooden steamships
| for the French Government.
| Knox Bros. have, according to their announcement, purchased
the property with the buildings thereon, and 85 x 500 feet, and
when the installation of machinery is completed, will be able to
resaw and dress twenty-five car loads of lumber per day. They
are installing Yates fast feed machines, each machine to be driven
‘by a separate motor.

i The firm announce that the new place is now shown in the
- Railway Tariffs as a stop-off point for re-manufacturing in transit,
| and that the yard capacity will be about 15,000,000 feet, and the dry
shed capacity about 1,000,000 feet.
‘The firm will commence operations immediately and will have
a stock at their St. Joseph de Levis place very shortly of 5,000,000
feet of dry merchantable spruce and 4,000,000 feet of British Colum-
bia fir timber.

New Veneer Mill Will Start Operations

The demand for rotary cut veneers in Canada is about to be
solved—at least in part—by the establishment of an important new
industry at Waterville, Que., where the old factory of Geo. Gale &
y Sons, Limited, has been taken over by the Waterville Veneer &
-- Panel Company, Limited, by whom it is now bejng rebuilt and
' equipped with the most up-to-date machinery and appliances known
to the trade.
e - The daily cutting capacity of the new mill will be a carload of
veneer, and that of the plywood plant 20,000 feet.

The company owns large stumpage rights and is assured of a
plentiful supply of veneer logs for at least twenty years. Operations
are scheduled to commence early next year, and the company will
shortly be in a position to take care of orders for forward delivery.

The new industry will be directed by Mr. H. Lefeber, formerly
of Montreal, but now in residence at Waterville. Mr. Lefeber, who
is widely known to the trade, is the vice-president and general man-
ager of the Waterville Veneer and Panel Company, Limited.

New Company Given Wide Powers

Adams Cellboard Co., Limited, have been granted a charter
with a capital stock of $400,000, and head office in Toronto, to
develop water and electric power and to manufacture, sell and deal
‘in wallpaper, lithography, engraving, bookbinding, envelope, paper
bag and box-making, and generally to carry on business aS manu-
facturers and dealers in paper made from any material, and to
convert the same into paper, pulp, strawboard and other prepara-
tions. The company is also empowered to sell, buy and deal in
wood and lumber of all kinds, and to make wooden boxes, barrels,

When You
Overhaul Your Mill

HERE are wet places in every saw and pulp mill where nothing but the highest class
belting can ‘‘make good.’ It is for these wet places that we recommend what most
mill-emen swear by—our

| “ACME WATERPROOF” BELT

This belt is especially made for a rough and trying service. It has less stretch than any other

belt by 15 to 25 per cent.
When you are overhauling try a Goodhue ‘‘ Acme Waterproot belt. Other Goodhue belts

are ‘‘ Extra” and ‘‘ Standard.”

out Canada.

In the factories and mines of South
Africa, the workshops of India and the
Orient, the mines of Australia; in in-
dustries throughout the world, Goodyear Belting
is daily solving power problems. Every obstacle
overcome teaches us something more about the
efficient specification of the proper belt for each

drive Men all over the world wto have problems:

similar to yours will now contribute their ex-
perience to the fund of knowledge possessed by
the Goodyear belting man who calls on you.

To meet the conditions of this world-wide trade,

it has been necessary to change some of the brand
names of Goodyear Belts.

For instance, Goodyear Extra Power is now
Goodyear Klingtite Belt.

But the change is in name only. Goodyear Kling-
tite Belt is the old Extra Power in everyparticular.

Any Goodyear branch will senda man who ha;

7 Smithing, Hammering

| and Blocking Saws

th we

No mill saw could do the work ex-
pected of it until it goes through the
Smithing, Hammering and Blocking
processes. Smithing removes the
lumps in the plate as seen under a
straight edge, Hammering equal-
izes the strain in the plate, and
Blocking provides the tension for
the speed the saw istorun. These
operations are performed in the
Atkins factories under the super-
vision of experts—men long in the
service—men who know; that’s
why Atkins Saws have built a repu-
tation for quality.

The Algoma Range

A Steel Range for Camp use. Built especially for this
purpose. It possesses features that are attractive in useful-
ness but not in beauty. A blunt, hardy Range with a won-
derful record for Service.

The Algoma is built in three sizes—each one has the
three necessities,—

(1) An Oven of ample capacity ;
(2).A cooking surface, open and capacious;
(3) A Firebox, big yet economical.

The Body and Oven are made of Steel that will last.
Each piece of steel is solidly rivetted to the other. Great care
is exercised to ensure the complete rigidity of the entire con-
struction.

The cooking surface is cast-iron, solid and thick; there-
fore the heat barely affects it. There are a variety of sec-
tions.

The Firebox is lined with weighty pieces of cast-iron.
Strenuous usage may wear these linings away—when this
happens, replacement is easy and the Firebox is made as good
as new.

The Gates are the duplex pattern—two bars, each heavy
and perfectly made. Simply operated with one shaker bar.

McCLARY’S abili‘; to make “Good Stoves and Cooking Utensils”
is recognized by all usc-s. Seventy-three years solid experience in

the manufacture of Stoves gives us the machinery and skilled man . ‘

power to produce highly specialized articles. These two Stoves are “

good samples of our best Foundry productions. x or t-

A heater that radiates direct heat from the body when

burning wod. Simple, effective and efficient. The body is a

filled with wood and paper the light applied and the heater is

operating. ‘ a
4 t

The Lumberman’s comfort in cold days and nights. Heat
radiates in all directions from the round steel body. In the
coolest weather the atmosphere around the Heater is com-
fortably warm.

The “Camp Comfort” is built of well tested materials that
can withstand rough usage. The two ends are heavy cast-
iron and the door is so large that huge chunks of wood can
be fed to the Heater with ease.

The body sits on four cast-iron legs which fit into rigid
cleats. Side or top shelves are supplied and are very con-
venient for temporary use in’ keeping foodstuffs and liquids
at a high temperature.

The “Camp Comfort” is a Camp Heater. It is simply
made. It produces the required results—See it. .

FOR DURABILITY

>FLINT-RIM~< wheels
have by years of service un-
der the most trying condi-
tions, fully demonstrated that
they are the best wheels ever
offered for durability and
satisfactory operation. .

The reason for this great suc-
cess is that the> FLINT.RIM <
wheels have smooth, hard bear-
ing surfaces for contact with the
links, and are carefully fitted |
for the chains, thus giving an

ideal condition to start with, and
maintaining it so persistently
that both the wheels and chain -
are practically insured against
undue wear.

The life of the chain is prolonged because
the wheels do not rapidly wear away from
the proper pitch diameter.

The material increase in the —
efficient life of the installation, |
eliminates the expense of fre-
quent renewals, and.greatly/re-—
duces the ultimate cost.

DISSTON

You will soon find evidence of the superior ’
quality of the Disston-Made steel used in Diss-
ton Cross Cut Saws.

You can file the teeth to a keen, fine cutting
edge and they will hold the edge given them.

That is because of the flawless material and
the exclusive Disston processes used in hard-
ening and tempering the saw.

You will notice that Disston Cross Cut users
when speaking of the easy and fast cutting
they have done, will usually also mention the
way Disston Saws take and hold a good cut-
ting edge.

Chisel Tooth Saws

Choice of Lumbermen Everywhere

a The even temper of these saws and the fine quality of steel from which they are made
have proved Hoe saws reliable for nearly one hundred years.

More than one hundred thousand “Hoes” are to-day successfully sawing lumber in all
parts of the globe. The Hoe Chisel Tooth Saw, invented 40 years ago, is still the best for
cutting hardwood.

Shavings ?

Examine these illustrations carefully.

They are typical interiors of large
planing mills; with one exception.

There is something lacking.
Where are the shavings ?

You will note an entire absence of
shavings, litter, and sawdust, because
these have all been spirited away bythe -

(TRADE MARK)

Planing Mill Exhausters

There is no possible chance for an
accumulation of litter of any kind a-—
round machines that are equipped ©
with the Sturtevant Exhausters.

Shavings and dust are seized the in-
stant they form, and are borne away
with lightning speed to an outside
disposal point. q

Mill Owners —

Whether you contemplate building new or repairing the old mill, it
would pay you to investigate the merits of our Friction Feed Works
which overcomes the trouble experienced with the ordinary friction.

While it possesses the speed and power of the steam feed, it can be
operated by anyone without danger of accident. '

We are now building this machine in two sizes and can supply you
with a size that will’ meet your requirements.

When writing for particulars, state capacity of mill and weight of
carriage. ‘

How One Mill
Owner Solved the
Lost Time Problem

Thomas Bradley, of the Bradley Lumber
Co., Ltd., was not getting the maximum
amount of work from the sixty odd men in
his employ: Furthermore, there had been
serious: disputes over the time question
which had threatened to disrupt his entire
plant.

That men were arriving on their jobs
five and ten minutes late he had positive AS
proof. That it was confined to the minority he also knew,
but the. fact remained—these “drones” were causing much dis ‘
content—that something had to be done, and pdteay “a

That was a year ago. Today Thomas Bradley has one of
the smoothest working mills in the industry. Co-operation,
efficiency, greater output work hand in hand. And if you were
to ask him the reason, he would take you into the front en-
trance to his mill and point to a small cabinet with a clock on
the front of it. It would be an INTERNATIONAL 5 gi

Monarcn

To Pull ’Round Turns
In Pathless Woods

Ability to take sharp turns in winding roads
makes the Monarch Tractor particularly suited
to the requirements of lumbering. The Monarch
turns in its own length.

It lays its own track as it goes—broad mangan-
ese steel chain traction belts—that gives it firm
footing on any surface.

In deep sand, over bogs, on snow and ice, its

weight is distributed as though borne on a plat-
form.

And these broad treads, grip the ground over
an immense surface.

The Monarch is economical to operate, for its
eal, coal oil, but gasoline may be used if de-
sire

A winch ustd to replace the regular power belt pulley
enables the Monarch to be equipped as a travelling pow-
er crane, which in loading, snaking and other similar
work effects numerous savings in operating costs.

Have you ever tried Fesserton?

When you're not getting just the right grade of lumber
your business demands; when you’re not receiving
quite the sort of service you feel entitled to; or when
you would like to give your customers a little better
value, but can’t; its a good plan to try Fesserton.

We’re not able to work wonders, but if there’s some-
thing really good stirring in the lumber world you may
be sure Fesserton knows about it, and may be able to
give you the benefit of it, too.

Organization is the watchward
in industrial and mercantile ranks,
business men today recognize the
benefits of co-operation “and. the
necessity, in view of the chang-
ing conditions through which all
branches of activity are passing,
of rendering better service and
employing the most efficient
business methods.

In accordance with this spirit,
and the progress of the times, the
retail lumber dealers of the Nia-
gara District felt that they should
come together and form them-
selves into a local body or branch,
the same as has been done in six
or seven other districts of the pro-
vince of Ontario, all of which form
a part of the Ontario Retail Lum-
ber Dealers’ Association. Among
the most active workers in the
movement were K. J. Shirton of
Dunnville, O. L. Rice of Welland and Fred Barraclough of Cayuga.

The date selected for the first meeting was Nov ember Ist and the
‘invitations were sent to the retail lumbermen in Beamsville, Cayuga,
Caledonia, Dunnville, Grimsby, Hagersville, Selkirk, Simcoe, Thorold,
Waterdown, Welland, Bridgebutg, Niagara Falls, Jordan Harbour,
St. Anns, St. Catharines, St. Wiliams a and other places. Owing to
‘the unfavorable weather the rain falling steadily the greater part
of the day and the utterly impassable condition of many roads, which
prevented the dealers in the adjoining towns from motoring over
to Dunnville, the attendance was not large but was representative.

Among those present outside the district were, John B. Reid,
president of the Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association, Toronto,
' Horace Boultbee, secretary of the O-.R.L.D.A., Toronto, J. B. Macken-
zie, Georgetown, secretary of the Orangev ile District, and G, B.

VanBlaricom, editor of the “Canada Lumberman,” Toronto. The
fh visitors were accorded a warm welcome by Mr. Shirton and shown
about the town, which is a busy progressive community of 3,500
people, located on the Grand River near where it empties into Lake
' Erie. The meeting was held in the rooms of the Dunnyille Club and
_ proved to be both interesting and enlivening.

K. J. Shirton of Dunuzville. presided, and in his opening remarks,

expressed regret at the unpropitious weather which had prevented a
ter of those, who intended being present, from motoring over.
For some time he has felt the need of a district organization, such as
-was proposd, and in speaking to a number of fellow-dealers, they
p had also endorsed the project. Mr. Shirton was confident that every-
thing would go along successfully as soon as matters got well under
way. He was glad to welcome the visitors to Dunnville and do any-
_ thing he could to make their stay pleasant, He then called upon
Mr. ‘John B. Reid, of Toronto, president of the Ontario Retail Lum-
ber Dealers’ Association to address the meeting.

‘

2 The Value of District Bodies.

Mr. Reid expressed his pleasure at being present, and stated that
f they should not be in anyway discouraged by a small attendance at the
i outset. He recalled the fact that when the first organization meeting

of the Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association was held, there
_ were only twenty present, and now the membership was 181 and
his growing rapidly. He believed that the district organization would
come along much better as soon as it began to operate. Continuing,
Mr. Reid said: “Ours is now a good, fiwe organization, and I have
“not the slightest doubt but that “the same condition will work out
~ with you here. I must confess that two or three years ago I was
' not in favor of a provincial organization of retailers. I remember

the initial banquet, when all the members talked over what they
were going to do during the coming year, and from that day to this *
I have never heard from one of them. I was so discouraged that I

it again. I am very glad that I did so, for everything has gone a
splendidly and unitedly in not only the organization in Toronto bu
throughout the province. The movement has spread and resulte
in great benefit to the retailers in the community in which they li iv
not only from a dollars and cents point of view but in prestiaa
standing which the dealer enjoys today.
“How was a retail lumberman looked upon in the past?"
Mr. Reid. “Any fellow, who erected a fence and put in a small s
and sold it out again was called a retail lumberman. Today
retail lumbermen are an important and influential body of m
trolling as much capital as a lot of wholesalers who figure Ay
public eye as somebody. Retailers are now commencing to rez
that they, too, are a body of some weight and can dictate ad lefir
policy to those who call themselves wholesalers. There are, in my r ind,
two important interests in the lumber industry,—the man who manu.
factures the material and the fellow who distributes it. These are the e
chief ends of the business. Our object in this Association is to be
men of worth and usefulness arid to get together those engaged in th
same line and sit down and teach them sound business principles ¢
just how the lumber industry should be conducted. There are many
men who are operating today on too low a cost; they do not have an
conception of what it costs them to do business. It has been demon-
strated that the retailer should get on the average of 33 1/3 | per ent.
profit on the invoice price of his goods or what they cost him on |
track in his town. It would not be possible, of course, to get t
profit on hemlock and some of the lower ends of lumber but on
higher grades, and manufactured articles there should be a correspon¢
ing advance so that on the average from 30 per cent. to 33 per cen
should be the profit in order to cover the expense of doing business anc
yield a retailer a fair return. Mr. Reid strongly opposed any s chy
shortsighted and suicidal procedure as is now and then followed by a
few dealers of selling lumber at $1.00 or $1.50 advance per ee
imagining that money was being made. He advised dealers not to be |
in the class of men who never took a holiday. No man ever -absented
himself from his business for a few days but what on his return he was ;
the better for the outing. In the O.R.L.D.A. organization the mem-
bers had been benefiting themselves, not only financially but —
morally, physically and in every way.
a

Some of the Matters Taken Up. 1 S

Turning his attention to the' Toronto Retail Lumberman’s Asso-_
ciation, Mr. Reid devoted some time to.an exposition of the aims and —
objects of that body and how getting together had improved the
status of retailers, not only individually but collectively. Men, who
hod done nothing but scrap for years, were now on a friendly, frank © ;
basis and he rejoiced to see the spirit of goodwill which | revailed.
One of the greatest regrets of each member was that such an \stitution
was not started twenty or twenty-five years ago. Mr. Reid said that
comradeship and co- operation held sway among men and it was, evi- ;
denced in their business relations, giving a square deal for a square
dollar. Some men have sought to heap up riches and pile up money.
They had spent all their days in the selfish pursuit of trying to make — ;
an extra dollar and that was about all they got out of life. “
seemed to forget that there were no pockets in a shea and the
only tribute paid to them, when they passed away, was * ‘ell, a

. is gone. He made a lot of money but he was never any ae
and did no good to himself or anybody else.”

“You who belong to the O.R.L.D.A. will never sie A,
associates; in fact, you will never find in any place better ae .
those engaged i in the same line of business as you are. In the T
Association there are no grouchers or kickers; one fellow is not trying
to deceive or to get ahead of the other all the while, but is endeay oring
to help him along,” added the speaker. me

At the regular meetings in Toronto business conditions were
discussed, stocks on hand, collections whether it was advisable to
buy at the present time or defer purchasing, etc. Thus the consensus
of opinion of twenty or thirty men was obtained, which was a fairly
accurate guide to go by. At present the retail lumber merchants it nm
Toronto were buying very little. iia

Trade Relations and Order Forms.

The Chairman of the Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Associatic
referred to the good work done by the Trade Relations —
settling amicably several differences between ‘ee wey

come

, and gave several instances of how litigation had been avoided
d a friendly understanding between firms preserved.
Mr. Reid thought that at the next annual meeting of the Associa-
n it would be well to appoint permanent members to the trade
ations and Arbitration Committee with fees attached for the per-
mance of certain services, so that when disputes or claims came
“up for adjudication, as they frequently did, the members of the com-
mittee should not be called upon to adjust every issue, big and
ittle without some compensation for their time and services.
_. The next matter referred to was a universal order form, which
the Association was preparing to have adopted. It’s use would result
in eliminating disputes and cancellations. In the matter of violating
acts there were offenders on both sides, both in the retail and
lesale ranks. A clause would be inserted stating that until the
r was confirmed by the manufacturing or wholesale firm, the re-
r had the same length of time to cancel. In the past too many
s had been taken by travellers and others, subject to confirmation
firm, and on the latter being offered a dollar or two per M.
by someone else, the order had been cancelled. In the mean-
ie retailer had been tied up, and the same privilege should be ex-
to the buyer as to the seller. If the latter got a dollar more, he
say the stock was already disposed of, and the retailer suffered.
> retail lumberman should now have the right of buying for a
lar, less, until such times as the order was O.K’d. from head office.
was a poor rule that would not work both ways.
There were shyster wholesalers as well as shyster retailers and
a lot of brokers and peddlers going around seeking to find out
one man wanted and the other man had, and make a profit out
both. If a uniform contract form was in vogue, it would result
Sbviating many misunderstandings, broken promises and delayed
firmations of order.
“If you want to do a fair and straight business, remember, there
is no flexibility in honesty.” He believed that many a retailer, who
not need stock, was often persuaded to place an order by some
smooth salesman who was paid a big salary and was magnetic,
usiastic and too anxious to load up a dealer. Mr. Reid believed
such a man was in the end doing his house ‘a lot of harm and
ly piling up bad debts for the future. Under the present system
ail lumber merchant, who signed an order, could not cancel, no
tter how much pressure had been brought upon him to buy and
et away from that kind of thing, the uniform order form was
ed and he believed the retailers should write their own orders.

The new order blank would work out to equal advantage to
oth buyers and sellers and give the dealers, as already stated, the
length of time to cancel as the seller took to have the sale con-
It would also exclude a large number of those who were not
edited representatives of any house but were chasing up and
down finding what one fellow wants and other fellow has.

In closing, Mr. Reid said the larger an Association got, the
ore powerful it became. There had been some talk about uniform
g rules as a lot of stuff had frequently been worked off on the

ailer which should never have been there.
ainst being imposed upon was to know the mill you get the stock
and the way it is put up. The chief trouble arose from mills
wholesalers trying to put over on the purchaser something he did
buy. If the material received was not up to the standard in grade,
surement, etc., the dealer has the right, according to the conditions
forth in the new order form, to dispose of that which is up to the

and fully meets requirements, and lay aside at the owner’s risk,
portion which is disputed or not up to specifications. The Trade
ions Committee could be called in to adjust matters, in the event
1 understanding not being reached by the parties themselves. Mr.

Dut they could be.taken up at a later date.

How To Keep Up The Interest.

J. B. Mackenzie of Georgetown, who is secretary of the Orange-
district,/was asked by the Chairman to outline the plans by
ch the interest in the work of his district had been developed to
an extent. Mr. Mackenzie stated that the first thing he would
y emphasis upon, would be the social side. “In organizing a dis-
: you get acquainted,” he added, “with those in the same line
siness in your own neighborhood and you develop a feeling of
acquaintance and interest which really sticks.” The second
t he would impress was that the district association was not
d with any thought or idea of regulating or controlling prices
umber in any way, whatever. Such a policy would be selfish
narrow minded and an organization based upon this foundation
1 soon totter and fall. Co-operation was the principal object for
rson had once said: “The value of any man is his ability to
ate with and use the ideas of the other fellow.”
Mackenzie believed in putting a personal question to each
district gathering and getting his views; then such a

man feels that he is one of the organization. “Our next meeting,
of the district which I represent” continued Mr. Mackenzie “will be
held in Orangeville on Wednesday, December Ist. In sending out
notices to the members I| intend to put one or two direct questions, and
also to call up “the boys” by phone a day or two before the date. One
query will be “what do you think the attitude of the public will be
next spring regarding the buying of lumber? As dealers we have
got to do some thinking with respect to the way the puublic is going
to view matters this coming spring, exercise judgment on what we’
buy during the next three or four months and govern our purchases
accordingly.

Another question will be, how each dealer keeps track of his
orders and handles his accounts. We desire all the latest pointers
in business methods that we can secure. If we are going to make our
individual business a success we do not want to build it too much
around ourseives. If we do not get out once in a while and rub
shoulders with and meet the other fellow, we reap but little benefit
and are apt to become narrow and selfish in our methods. We must
co-operate one with the other. Our interests are mutual and if
the market price for lumber goes down we will have to be more care-
ful and discriminating in buying and the way we do business, and
give the public better service. New conditions are coming to the
front in our*line all the while and we must be prepared to meet
them. There are the new sales tax, the increase in freight rates’
and other problems, which are worthy of our best attention.”

Another Gathering at Niagara Falls.

After some further remarks by Mr. Boultbee, secretary of the
O.R.L.D.A., O. L. Rice of Welland, Fred Barraclough of Cayuga
and others, it was decided that the election of officers should be
postponed until an evening meeting could be called in Niagara Falls,
Ont., when a banquet Wvill be held and the work of definite organiza-
tion proceeded with. }

A committee of Messrs. Shirton, Rice and Barraclough will
interview James Harriman of Niagara Falls, an enthusiastic member
of the O.R.L.D.A. and make arrangements at an early date for the
carrying-out of such a function as proposed. It was felt by all present
that Niagara Falls would be a central point for the next district
gathering and everything that will tend to make the event an out-
standing success will be vigorously under taken.

Would Start Demonstration Wood Lots

There is every likelihood that several townshins will take advan-
tage of the Provincial Government’s plan to co-operate in the very
valuable work of reforestation. Hon. Manning Doherty has issued
a letter to that effect, the letter being addressed to the townships
through agricultural representatives. In it the minister says: It is
the desire of the Government that the reforestation of waste lands
be encouraged as generally and as rapidly as possible.. In every town-
ship there are acres of land which are used for absolutely no purpose.
but which would, with attention, produce a crop of timber in a com-
paratively few years and fully repay the effort and expenditure de-\
voted to the matter. The department is co-operating with the forestry
branch of the department of lands and forests in this matter.

To bring this subject prominently to the attention of the people
the Government would like to see a.demonstration plot established in
each township and to this end desires the co-operation of the township
councils. If the township counc’l wll purchase an area suitable for
this purpose on a well travelled road and have it properly fenced, the
Government will undertake to supply and plant trees to reforest such
area and look after it in the early years of growth. ‘ Such an area of
land should not be less than five acres or more than ten acres.

It is my desire that you should bring this proposition to the atten-
tion of the township councils in your county. I would:suggest that
you write a letter to the reeve of each township outlining the propo-
sition and that you endeavor to see the reeve of each township per-
sonally and discuss the matter with him or as far as possible attend
the meeting of the township council at which the proposition is dis-

cussed. Please assure the council that your services are at their dis-

posal in the selection of land for the purpose as it will, of course, be
expected that you will give the matter your supervision in any town-
ships in which such demonstration wood lots are established.

It should be possible to have a large number of these demonstra-
tion wood lots started next spring and applications should be received
before December 31st. It should be clearly understood that all such ©
demonstration plots will be vested in the township and any profit
which may ultimately accrue will go to the township. The expense
involved in the part of any township council is small and I feel that
the result in awakening a greater interest in this most important prob-
lem would inaugurate.a movement which would be of great value to
the permanent development of this province.

What are Your Costs, Mr. Dealer?

Figures recently recieved by the New York State Asso-
ciation Cost Accounting Bureau show that the cost of doing
a lumber business varies from $11.80 per M to $16.85 per M
feet of lumber handled. Members of the Bureau are in posi-
tion ‘to secure valuable comparative data as to the handling
costs on material. Do you know what your costs are?

. _ The waiters were busily engaged in clearing the table and the
hum of conversation was mingled with the clatter of dishes and
- silver. The occasion was the quarterly meeting of the District Lum-
‘ ber Association which had opened up with a feed and talk feast. The
- conversation had ranged all the way from the scant dressing of lumber
- to the best kind of motor trucks for delivery. Just now the topic of
interest was that old familiar subject, TW hat does it cost to do busi-
ness?” says the “Lumber Co-operator.”
: “Now we calculate that we have our figures about right,” re-
~ flected Dwight Jones, as he carefully balanced a taper of long white
ash on the end of his cigar. “I am well acquainted with the manager
of Raymond & Company, who tells me that their cost of doing
_ business is 22 per cent. In my opinion Raymond & Company have
it about right and I notice that this seems to be the general idea of
dealers ‘that [ have talked with at the convention. We take off our
annual ‘statement at the end of the year and it has always tallied
pretty close with this figure so that we feel we are safe in allowing
22 per cent for the cost of doing business.”
“You're right,” drawled Sam Joseph as he pushed a chair back
_ from the table and began to rock back and forth. “I can’t see what
the use is of spending all this time talking about the cost of doing

“That’s where you’re wrong,” broke in Stanley Perkins, “you

n= “When you can show me by the actual experience of men 1 who
have tried this thing out, then I am ready to listen to your argument
about cost methods,” said Sam Joseph. “I think we have had entirely
too much theory and not enough honest to goodness facts. You have
‘to show me by producing some brass tacks.”

Oe Just then the door opened and in stepped Walker Smith, a tall
_ well built, clean shaven man, with black hair and brown eyes which
. __twinkled as he answered the greeting of those about the table. “Say

could sit down. “We are having an argument here and we want

- There was presented in the last issue of the “Canada Lumber
in” teports from different lumber companies in various parts of
rn Canada, regarding the labor situation, the cost of supplies
the extent of woods operations which will be carried on during
coming season as compared with similar work a year ago.

These reports were most interesting and instructive. Since the
issue, add'tional replies have come to hand which will shed fur-
light on the much-discussed tonic of next season’s outnut.

_ Phe Cleveland-Sarnia Saw Mills of Sarnia, say: “This is the
st year we have operated any camps. Up to this year we had ex-

‘three. We find that wages are running from $70,00 to $85.00 per
n nth, which we understand is $10.00 ‘to $15.00 per month higher
_than they were a year ago. We also find that labor is very scarce,
& and supplies high with the exception of oats and potatoes which are
reasonable in price compared to what they have been. As to our
HSI tock of lumber at Sarnia, we will go into the winter with the smallest
stock that we have ever had. We will only have about 60 per cent.
of what we had a year ago. We expect to have a full year cut of
$s for our mill fo rthe season 1921..”

Will Operate Four Camps.

TRottuéen, Wright’ & Co., of Shulee, N.S.: “We are operating
' yur camps and may increase the number later. We find labor fairly
ntiful but wages in this district are averaging about $5.00. per
nth more than last. This increase, of course, is caused by the
h cost of Jiving. Operating expenses in general will be more than.
those of 1919-1920. Owing to our early sales, our lumber is well
cleaned- “up. A considerable area was burned in Cumberland county
last summer which accounts for greater activity in that particular
section.”
ait Men Are Coming In More Freely.

The Schroeder Mills & Timber Company, Pakesley Station, Ont —
ve have our usual number of camps, viz., seven open since Sep-
mber Ist, but we are still short a couple of hundred men although

Costs Will Be Higher This Year. ie
The Bishop Lumber Co., Nesterville, Ont—We are operating 7am
this year only five camps, while last year we operated eight.-The —
labor supply until recently we have found, has been very lacking;
also the class of men have been of a poor type for woods work. How- — )
ever, during the last month we are finding that there is a greater
number of idle men on the market and that the disposition toward —
work is more willing than it has been for some time in the past. |
Owing to the scarcity of labor in the early fall and the increase in (7
wages over last year, it is our belief that lumber operations this year |)

will exceed in cost those of the past year.

Believe That Wages Will Decrease. Bs
The Muskoka Wood Manufacturing Co., Huntsville, Ont. Wer
expect ourselves to take out a normal stock this winter; but our un-
derstanding is that, owing to prevailing conditions there will not be
as many camps in during this winter. Up to now, we have not had
much change in our wage rate, but are finding labor in the camps —
more plentiful every day, and expect a noticeable decrease in ‘camp —
wages during the winter. The drop in the price of oats and some |
other lines, will help a little in the cost of taking stuff out, but there
has not been up to the present any great advance in the efficiency of, 2;
men at the work in the bush; that would be the greatest aid to lower —
costs.

Producing Costs Are Excessive. ;

Austin & Nicholson, Chapleau, Ont——Our woods operations this —
year are about normal with this exception, we are operating log camps 4
instead of tie camps, the intention being to saw the ties. ‘We are”
carrying on, as we are doing,
railway ties. We are duenauees ona petals market such ‘as i
lumber necessarily is and with labor conditions and supply costs as
they are today, we would follow the example of a large number OF % i
other people and curtail our output materially. Not because the —
lumber is not required but because operating conditions have become
so difficult and expensive that the production costs are abnormal. |
The labor market never was so uncertain. There seems to be plenty
of men but they are more unsettled than ever, with efficiency con- |”
stantly being reduced. Our stocks are lower than have been at this © 4
season in any year for the past five or six. al

Three Men to Do Work of Two. va

The St. Maurice Paper Co., Montreal.—We have about the same
number of camps in the w oods this year, but we have a good many.
more jobbers than we had last year. This has been a fine fall to cut |
and skid logs and we expect our jobbers will fill their contracts. The _
labor market i is the highest we have ever experienced and for efficiency, |
it takes about three men to do what two would do ten years ago.
Our operating expenses are high but our’lumber stocks are much
lower than we have had for some years. os

Men Are Becoming More Efficient. a

McLachlin Bros., Arnprior, Ont—We are operating the same
number of camps this year as last, that is, twelve in all, and we hope |
to start two more within the next month. We find that while bush
men were scarce a month ago, the supply is increasing, and they | are
much more efficient than last year. Wages are $10.00 higher tha Ts
they were in 1919-20. Regarding the stock of lumber on hand, it i
considerably smaller than last year and is the smallest stock we have
had on hand for many years.

‘ Are Not Operating Any Camps. Ai TD

The Devon Lumber Co., of Sherbrooke, Que.—We are not ‘operat: |

ing camps this season. We found it particularly. difficult to keep sut-_
ficient men in the mill during the last week of sawing. In fact, at one
stage of the game we had to close down one side on this account. We |
are carrying over a slightly larger stock of lumber than we did. a
year-ago. ;

for next summer’s cut. Word received from Port Arthur ‘announced
that it is the intention of the company to operate the old R. P. L.
Company’s mill in the south ward of the town, according to the ar-
rangement made between Mr. E. W. Backus and the corporation of
Kenora. It will, therefore, be necessary to get out a larger quantity
of logs this winter than usual in order to supply the additional mill.
There will be lots of employment in the woods around Kenora.

: Heavy Seed Year For White Spruce

The Commission of Conservation has received reports from a

-. number of points in Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick indicating

that this is an exceptionally heavy seed year for white spruce in
eastern Canada. There promises to be a good yield of white pine
seed as well. Last year there was practically no spruce seed in east-
ern Canada. Heavy seed years for spruce and pine usually occur

_ only every fourth year, therefore those who wish to, collect the seed
_ should take advantage of the abundant crop this year.
se White spruce seed ripens in September, and the cones should be
- collected just before they open.

When figuring the

Chief among them are the following items of overhead which must

When a dealer has figured out all of these items and added them
to the delivered cost of the material he is in possession of the neces-
sary information upon which to estimate his selling price.

The selling price should be made up of three elements:

that 90 per cent. of the selling price will represent the delivered cost

it is clear that 24 per cent. plus 10 per cent. of the se ;
represent the overhead and the profit. The delivered cost w ill then
be 66 per cent. of the selling price. In other words, if the delivered
cost under such conditions is multiplied by 100 and the result dividec
by 66, a selling price will be reached which will cover an overhead cos
of 24 per cent. and a profit of ten per cent.

There is plenty of chance for going m this matter of éstimatt

ered cost and thinks that he must be making money. The folloy ing
table should be studied. It is based on the supposition that the over-
head amounts to 24 per cent. of the annual gross sales.

In a large measure we are all vitally interested in the past
history of the lumber industry which holds second place in the
" activities of Canadian manufacture. When we look at what has been
and what we can now see, we may infer how far along the road we
have travelled and how far we have yet to go. Until the inevitable
takes place—extinction of limits and paucity of returns, inability to
“market from points once so accessible, the gradual dwindling of what
once supplied opportunity and manufacturing profit.
— We have it on authority that the membership of a church changes
in fifteen years, and that of a business community in twenty. True
a few survive, but enough only to leaven the day of opportunity. And
so in the lumber business. Men haye come and gone, used up the
facilities leaving others to step in and make the best of what is
left. All this forms a reason for placing before the readers of the
_ “Canada Lumberman” some account of the industry as it started,
‘developed and rose to commercial distinction in the Midland District
of Ontario, in the years that have gone.
> In the early allocation of boundaries to groups of lands in Upper
Canada the section, roughly speaking, from west of Kingston to near
' Toronto was known as the Newscastle District. Afterwards sub-
- divided, the section parallel with the shore of Lake Ontario, but inland,
was named the Colborne District, and for many years was so repre-
sented in the Upper Canada House of Assembly. Out of this allo-
cation was afterwards carved the land now comprised in the counties
of Northumberland and Durham, Peterborough, Victoria, and the
; counties east and west. The county of Haliburton was a later creation,
being taken out of the lands at one time under control of the Canada
| Company, that great adjunct to early colonization and settlement.
It is principally with the territory of the counties of Peterborough
and Victoria we have to deal. It is true that the county of Hastings
_ furnished opportunity for the lumberman, and was exploited by the
Gilmours and other organizations. But it is of Peterborough county
_ that we wish to write. The lumbering activities within its borders
supply quite enough for comment to any reasonable extent and
compas. Here wer located immense tracts of wooded lands awaiting
the coming in of the lumberman and his hordes.
Included in the county of Peterborough were the townships of
South and North Monaghan and Otonabee, all bordering on Rice
_ Lake or the river Otonabee. There were also other municipalities
- as fat north as Chandos and Ansthruther, quite near to the height-
of-land that presently descends to the Ottawa. There was a sweep
from Smith township on the West to Belmont and Metheun on the
East, together with other. well wooded lands within the borders;
_ especially well adapted to operations of getting out timber and stock
for lumber because of the numerous lakes and streams that supplied
easy and convenient means of transportation for the stock in the rough.

Waiting for Means of Transportation.

i While forest lands are still in the foreground one conspicuous
' and salient feature of the landscape of the year 1838, and for many

years afterward, is gone, that of the seemingly inexhaustible stand

of pine that towered above the general forest surrounding. It was

" waiting, at the time indicated, for some means of transportation of the

_ sawn product to market, other than by the tedious and expensive
hauling by teams and waggons to the Jake front. To meet this

Be demand the one insistent appeal of the district, Peterborough to the
south, was for railroad communicaction. In the issue of the Peter-

borough “Despatch” newspaper, of July 29th, 1847 the editor makes

comment as follows:

a. “To send out merchandise or products of the soil from

25 to 30 shillings per ton is paid, as freight. For nearly two

_ weeks we have been unable to get even a trunk conveyed to

Port Hope or to Cobourg. The journey to Lake Ontario,

of thirty miles, now occupies ten hours. Articles such as salt,

plaster, etc., are in a great measure shut out from us by the

expense of freight.. The sawmills of our neighborhood can

cut 60,000 ft. per day, but are often in a great measure idle

for want of access to.market for lumber, owing to the expense

a Or transit.”

And, in further illustration of the intensity of the situation, it is

stated that in Peterborough, without a railroad in any part of the

ounty, wheat was worth only 37 cents per bushel, and about 50 cents

at Port Hope. On March 1848, and with the prospective completion
of the Grand Trunk Railway, along the lake shore. “The Front” as
it was termed, the “Despatch” states that prices immediately advanced
for wheat to 3s 9d, oats from 9d to 19d per bushel, and hay from
27s to 42s per ton. These advances were based only on the prospect
of easier access to market. How vitally the deprivation affected the
lumber business can be judged.

In 1848 a charter was obtained to construct a railroad from Port
Hope to Peterborough and over ten thousand pounds subscribed. The
project was eventually dropped, to be followed in 1852-3, by a
company, which secured an Act to construct a road from Cobourg to
Peterborough, and on Chemong Lake, with the object of securing
the freighting of lumber from the mills at Bobcaygeon and at points
on the lakes adjoining. In the fall of 1854 the line was opened for
traffic, to Peterborough, and at once the impetus to trade was apparent.

The lumber trade increased immensely, and where before the
export of sawn products (by means of the river to Harwood, a point
on Rice Lake and by teaming to Cobourg, the nearest lake shipping
port) had not exceeded between three and four million feet per
annum, it, at once increased to about twenty millions, and in future
years exceeded by double the output as stated. Use was made of the
railroad bridge across the waters of Rice Lake, which was at the best
a precarious means of gaining the south shore. However it effected
a purpose.

A few years afterwards, when the line to Port Hope was opened,
the lumber trade found its own and the extent of the export was at
once reflected in the increase of population in and about the town.
A census taken in the spring of 1852 showed that the resident popu-
lation living about the mills and outside the actual limits of the town,
that there would be much under 5000.

Real Money Was Made by Dealer.

It is true that the flood of money coming into the district was

the financial salvation of the country tributary to the demand, but
it came in at too high a price. To the men engaged in operating
the cost for the use of money was high and expensive. Large sums
were looked up and at excessive rates of interest. And when cut,
dried and marketed either to Quebec for the English trade or to Albany
for the American jobbing houses, the real money made was not by the
man who manufactured the lumber but by the dealer who merchan-
dized it. England had not, to any extent, begun to build ships of

iron. The needs of the Western and flat lands States had denuded the
forests of New England and Carada was to be exploited for the
commercial benefit of all and sundry.

Briefly, the lumber business in the Colbourne District began in
the early forties, and reached its highest point about the year 1868.
From that time onward the output declined except from parts of the

county especially favored with limits in a somewhat virgin state.
From the first the district was specially favored in that there was
_ abundance of water available for operations. The lakes to the North
and streams contributary facilitated operations’ much more than in
other localities. The river Otonabee, also known in sections as the
Trent, descends from the height of land to Lake Ontario with a fall
of nearly 600 feet. The floating of logs and timber was all in a down-
hill movement. The succession of seasons favored the business.
Those operating set up camps, more or less permanent in the heart
of the limits. Roads were broken and supplies were brought in. Fel-
ling the trees, cutting into log lengths, hauling, or “cadging” as
_ it was termed, to the banks of the numerous streams and water-
bs: courses and shores of the many lakes went on during ‘the winter.
“When snows melted in the spring and streams were in excess of
"water the logs were dumped into the current and floated to the
_ lakes, where, “formed into “booms,” they were guided through con-
necting waters to Bobcaygeon, to Lakefield or “where the mill was
situated. Logs for manufacture below Clear Lake were set loose
5” to’ float down the Otonabee. The “drive” as the group of men
_ housed on a floating camp was termed followed the rush of logs -
as hurried forward by the current.
4 Weeks, indeed often months, of incessant and watery labor
were required, the work being carried on principally by crews of
wt men recruited from Lower Canada ‘and known as “pea-soups,” from
their accredited fondness for that form of diet. These appeared in
the early spring and went away when their special duty had been
e accomplished. An experienced, daring and reckless set of men they
were, inured to privation and outdoor life. They were arrayed in
_ strange apparel, rather grotesque, prone to consumption of liquor,
fond of fighting and contemptuous of the dweller in the towns and
villages.” It was from this experienced class of men that Lord Wol-
seley recruited his crews of voyages to man and handle the boats
on that famous expedition up the Nile to the relief of General Gordon.

zs Square Timber and Sawn Lumber.

W The trade divided itself into two main products, those of square
ED lanier and sawn lumber.: In-the preparation of the square timber
the best and finest trees were selected, for square timber had as its
destination in the English market. The trees were felled with care to
avoid breakages, for a pine of eighty feet high coming down like
a gigantic flail had to be guided clear of rocks and boulders or its
commercial value would be discounted, Cut to from forty to fifty foot
lengths the shaft of the tree was squared and lined out to largest
Boe dimension. Few trees under twenty-four inches in diameter were
bese used, lesser diameters working up better into sawn lumber. Having
+» been hewn, pointed at each end and bored they were drawn to the
_ ice and formed into rafts of about thirty feet in width, all tied together
/ with flexible saplings, which were used instead of ropes. With four
_ sweeps or cars, at each end the float was ready to undertake the
_ voyage to the south so soon as the ice released its burden.
. _ Just as the sailor assumes the risk of the sea the raftsmen took
the dangers of the river'passage. All the power dams were construc-
- ted with sluices especially prepared. to allow of passage of the rafts
with the most powerful part of the water directed to: the opening.
ae Lakefield to Nassau, on the river, was an exciting passage.
- With a fall in the bed of the river of not less than 180 feet in ten
; miles to Peterborough, there was some current. The river was
diversified with numerous twists and bends and, with the enormous
K: amount of water set free-by the spring flood, the trip was one of
_ large excitement and real danger. Many of the men perished, being
- flooded right off the rafts despite life ropes to hang on to. Cribs
Pad up of hardwoods, such as elm and oak were especially
_ hazardous for being less buoyant than pine they were always more
or less submerged in the rolling torrents at the foot of the slides and
hard to handle. Such timber. was despatched early in the spring
_ to avoid being water-logged. Myriads of hardwood logs lie at the
bottom of the “sheltered bays along the lakes and river.
4 : Venturesome souls, those of great daring.and high of aqueous
s "purpose, would tie themselves to any of the dams, of which there
_ were many, along the river and as the crib started on its plunge down
_the slide they would jump on and secure passage as a stowaway. Such
“contributions to the passenger list were always hailed by the crew
with threats and curse. The crew had quite enough on its hands
without attending to the safety of some dry goods clerk, local baker
or barber. The trip was. more dangerous than riding an airplane,

Lumber conditions and the
market situation, trade outlook
and the building prospects for
1921 were ammatedly debat-
ed at a well-attended meeting of
the Southwestern Ontario Retail
Lumber Dealers’ Association’ at
Chatham, Ont., on Monday, Oc-
tober 8th. The sessions were held
in the Chamber of Commerce
rooms and were profitable, pleas-
ant and interesting. Many topics
were taken up and lively discus-
sions entered into. Action was
taken to combat the propaganda
of certain mail order houses who
are flooding western Ontario with
literature, to the effect that they
can supply doors, sash, moulding,
frames, etc., at bargain prices. It
was shown conclusively that in
many cases these goods did_ not
A. R. Sanders, St. Lae Ont. come up to representations, that
President S. W. O. R..L. D. A. there were delays in delivery, mis-
apprehension as to grades and finish and. other shortcomings. A
mill committee was appointed by the S. W.R. L. D. A. to prepare a
list of prices on similar lines, showing that the retail lumbermen can
furnish goods of better quality and workmanship than these cata-
logue houses, and customers have the benefit of a local service and
seeing exactly what they get before purchasing. This committee of
Messrs.’ Bogart, Wallace, Scofield and Russell will get to work at once
and will present a report that will be sent to all the members of
the Southwestern Association who are determined to leave no stone
unturned in protecting their interests against unfair and unscrupulous
competition.

' The visitors were hospitably entertained by the Chatham lumber
‘dealers to a motor drive and to a chicken dinner at the Hotel Sanita
_ and a hearty vote of thanks was moved by President A. R. Sanders,
of St. Thomas, to the Chatham men for their generous consideration,
_to which W. A. Hadley, of Chatham, briefly responded.
Among those who attended the gathering was J. B. Reid, of
Toronto, president of the Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Associa-
‘tion. Mr. Horace Boultbee, secretary of the association, was also
‘invited to come, but on account of being away on a hunting
_ expedition, was unable to be present.- Mr. Reid delivered two stirring
addresses, in which he told of what the Ontario Association was doing
and pointed out some issues which would be discussed at the next
annual meeting in Toronto.
_ President Sanders stated that the lumber business had reached
a crucial stage and he would like to see a general discussion on con-
ditions present and prospective. Personally, he had not run across
anyone who could tell, with any degree of accuracy, how things were
oid to shape up. The prospects were rather uncertain as much
ded upon the building situation and the demand which would
et in after the new year. Anyone who would load up with stock
now was, in his opinion, taking a gambling chance pure and simple
if they purchased in quantities beyond their immediate requirements.

& Ceases Selling to Farmers’ Clubs.

ne

_ A letter was read from the secretary of the Ontario Retail Lum-
ber Dealers’ Association, stating that the John M. Diver Lumber Co.
of Chatham, which had been selling to Farmers’ Clubs, had decided to
discontinue ‘the practice and dispose of forest products through legiti-
_ mate channels. This announcement, was received with much satisiac-
tion, and Secretary Boultbee asked that the representatives of the
ane Diver Co. be given a friendly reception when calling upon the
ade i in view of the “stand which the firm had just taken.

that yellow pine was.being offered all the way from $35.00 to

funds. He thought that it was advisable to buy at these prices,
which would only last a short time and were not likely to prevail
again. Many southern mills had closed down and a number of the
smaller men were trying to unload. Railway equipment was low
and the transportation companies had started to buy, having held off
until after the presidential election. It was a healthy sign when
railway companies began purchasing, as it generally meant good
business. The time to look out was when they were not in the market
for any requirements.

The discussion was continued along allied lines, and Mr. J. B.
Reid, in the course of his remarks, thought it advisable for the retailers
to get rid of their high-priced lumber if they could replace it at
present values. They would thus be making the difference between
what they sold at and what they bought for. Different opinions were
expressed regarding the prospects of building for next year, the out-
put of the mills, the cost of production, and it was the general opinion
that purchasing any commodity today at a less figure than in many
instances it cost to produce it, was not a bad gamble.

Wages at Many Places Go Down.

Mr. Scofield stated that he had advices from leading authorities
in the United States that, while no changes in the situation over
there might be expected for six months at least, yet it was generally
conceded that 1921 was going to be a banner year in structural oper-
ations. The automobile industry had gone flat and was pretty well
stocked up with lumber; furniture factories and musical instrument
makers were also quiet and this had greatly reduced the demand for
hardwoods and created a depression in wages. One member stated
that in a large concern in Flint, Michigan, some, workmen who
were earning from $8 to $16 a day, until recently, were now glad to
get their jobs back at 42%4c an hour. Many other concerns were also
reducing wages and the men were accepting the same without de-
murring.

President Sanders stated that in 203 cities in the United States
building operations had fallen off during September, some 40 per
cent., as compared with a year ago, and he was informed that unless
the building laws in many populous places were amended, things in
the construction line were going to be rather quiet. All the big fel-
lows in the lumber arena were holding on to their stock but many a
little fellow had to turri it over at the present time because he could
not afford to retain it and pocket a loss. Men, who had money today,
were not locking it up in lumber stocks.

Express Sympathy With Mr. Ludlam.

A resolution was passed, expressing sympathy with Mr. A. Lud-
lam, of Leamington, one of the oldest and honored members of the
association, who has been ill for a long time. The secretary was in-
structed to send him some flowers and expression of hope for his
recovery.

Mr. Hadley brought up the matter of the organization known
as the “Hoo-Hoo,” which has for its motto, “Health, Happiness and
Long Life.” During the war the work of this social organization
among lumbermen had been intefered with but now it was coming
back stronger than ever. H. R. Isherwood, of St. Louis, secretary-
treasurer, would shortly visit Ontario and other. parts of Canada, to
establish branches. Mr. Hadley endorsed the work of the Hoo-Hoo.

A resolution was also passed endorsing the work of the Board
of Arbitration as composed in the Trade Relations Committee of the

‘O. R. L. D. A., and this question will be further dealt with at the

annual meeting of the provincial association in February next.

A hearty vote of thanks was also tendered President Reid for
coming such a long distance to attend the gathering. It was the
feeling of the members that more frequent sessions should be held,
one at least every two months.

Fishing Club for the Retailers.

Mr. Reid introduced the matter of forming a Lumbermen’s Fish-
ing Club and having headquarters on the French River. He spoke
of the delight which “the boys” had experienced on their annual trip
to Lake Nipissing last summer and the splendid fishing in the French
waters. He thought that a club could be formed, a charter taken
out and many a dealer spend a few weeks profitably w:th his family as
a permanent summer clubhotse amid ideal environs. Mr. Reid said
that he merely introduced the matter for an expression of opinion,

4

The sentiment seemed favorable and the matter will be further dealt
with at the annual meeting of the O. R. L. D. A.

The afternoon session was a very breezy one. W. A. Hadley
spoke ably and well on “How Cath We Improve Our Association,”
while Mr, Scofield gave a short talk on “Millwork and Its Cost.” Mr.
McEachern led off in a discussion on “Can We Get Too Chummy
With Wholesalers.” This brought up various other matters, all of
wiich will be referred to at greater length in the next issue of the
“Canada Lumberman.”

The Gathering Was Representative.

Budget of Briefs from Busy East
The S. S. Erginus sailed from Alma, N.B., recently carrying
about two million feet of deals, which were shipped by C. T. White
& Son. It was the last vessel to load there this season for overseas,
but about two million feet of lumber will be shipped to St. John by
schooners and scows.

The operations of the E. Burtt Lumber Company, of Burtt’s
Corner, N.B., will be confined largely to getting out pulp wood. The
company cut eight million feet of logs last winter and will carry over
two million feet. They plan to get out during the coming season about
eight thousand cords of pulp wood.

At the Crown Lands Office in Fredericton recently three lots of
vacant Crown lands were offered for sale and bid in at the upset
prices as follows: 92 acres, Lot A, Victoria settlement, Carleton
county, to Russell R. Rose, upset price $3 per acre; 17 acres, Lot l,
in the Ranger Settlement, Victoria county, to Archibald L. Monteith,
at the upset price $2 per acre; 200 acres lots 62 and 60, west of
Baker Lake, Madawaska county, to Joseph David, upset price $2
per acre.

R. B. Smith, M. P. P., for Sunbury county, N.B., had a narrow
escape from death recently at the Valley River Lumber Company’s
mill at Oromocto, of which he is manager. The accident happened
while Mr. Smith was superintending the work in the mill. In passing
a revolving shaft his attention was taken for a moment and before he
realized the danger the lower part of his woolen sweater was caught
by the rapidly moving belt. Although knocked off his feet by the
sudden impact he d-d not lose his presence of mind but braced him-
self for the tug-of-war. A less robust man would have been instantly
whirled to his death. By exerting his full strength he succeeded in
bringing the pulley to a stop, but he was unable to hold it. His cloth-
ing was stripped from his body and torn to shreds, but was the means
of saving his life ; :

The St. John River Log Driving Company closed its season on
the St. John R-ver a few days ago when rafting on the Douglas Boom
was ended. For some days crews of the company will be engaged
taking in booms and other gear and stowing them for the' winter. The
date of closing is about the ‘average for recent years, but
under the system of rafting at both the Douglas and Mitchell booms
the season frequently closed in September with the logs all rafted.
The quantity of lumber rafted by the company in 1920 is upwards
of forty million feet, but exact figures are not yet available. It is
about the average quantity for the past few years. Five million feet
of lumber will be carried over at the Douglas boom until the season
of 1921. The heavy rains of September brought much lumber into
the boom, which otherwise would not have been secured. It also
brought enormous masses of driftwood and other debris, which is held
in the boom with the lumber. This makes it difficult to estimate the
exact amount of lumber there. It is believed that there wll be a
great rush of driftwood in the spring.

The quantity of lumber to be cut in the New Brunswick woods
during the coming winter will be less than fifty per cent. of this sea-
son’s output, according to some of the leading lumbermen. On the
north shore reductions will be even greater and the curtailment will
amount to little more than a third of this year’s amount. The prin-
cipal reason for curtailment is said to be due to the labor situation,
which, it is contended, makes it impossible to operate profitably.

More Views on Shingle Selling | ir

In discussing the packing and sale of red cedar shingles, C. M-
Smith, of Aylmer, Ont., says: “Our customers prefer shingles packed
in four bunches to the M and they do not care for the pack four
bunches to the square.” a

L. H. Martyn & Co., of London, Ont., remark: “We have sold
nothing else this year but the square unit and have had no trouble
whatever and we have just ordered another car of the same. ‘e
certainly would not care to change back again as we find that the
average purchaser will inev-tably compare the price of a M. shing
against a square of another roofing to the disadvantage of the shingle.
This, of course, can be explained away, but life is too short to waste
time ‘nstructing some people. We will be glad if all the mills ade
the square unit for next year.”

iva -—-: Lumber and the Cost of Building?
Be. Asked his reason for putting off building a home of his

_ He does not consider any other items entering into the con-
‘struction of the house. .He isn’t in a position to know pro-
; _bably, that the items of carpenter and mason work, for in-
_ stance, cost almost as much as the lumber. He hasn’t been

es on jobs he has sold, that the lumber bill represents only

ey

aaah small per cent of the total cost of a house.

A responsible architect recently was talking to a friend
| this subject.
“Do you realize that the bill for lumber for a twelve
ousand dollar house represents only nineteen per cent of
2 total cost?” he asked. “I have just completed building
use of this cost and have gone over the figures. .I believe,
houses of this sort, that the lumber: will average from
teen to twenty per cent of the total amount spent.
The per cent cost of lumber in a house will vary of course
th local conditions. The cost of labor is a large item that
changes with every locality.
_ This is the opinion of this architect, and the falacel he
ine probably represent an average estimate of the cost of
_ lumber for houses of this type.

Knows Little About the ierawe

2s
+The average man who proposes to build a home usually
Bip knows very little about the items necessary for building his
home. When he thinks of building he immediately thinks
of lumber and recalls all that his acquaintances have told

4 im of the enormous increase over pre-war prices. He does
i _ not think in connection with the building of his own home
of the increased cost of labor; of the advance in cement and

: other building materials; of the increased cost of plumbing,
’ te plants, electric cool and fixtures, hardware, gut-

n ivinced prices in. lumber.

Of course it costs more to build now than it did ten
twenty years ago. Aside from the advances that were
le in every commodity, including farm products and
1 factured articles, the man who builds the unpretentious
ne in these days, demands a great deal more in his house
an was formerly necessary. It used to be that the cost
‘coal oil lamps, tin bath tubs, stoves for heating, and
uipment for cooking were not included with, nor charged
against the cost of the house. These were items purchased
ately and corsidered as moving personal property

‘than fixtures of the home.

What an Estimate Includes.

¢ remembered an estimate of
a house usually mwlodes the cost of the heating
the plumbing, the electric wiring and fixtures, a bath

fitted with fixtures as expensive as living room furni- -

The average man even demands more in the exterior

ae the case—a development that makes homes more
while and yet furnishes one of, the real reasons for
reased cost of living. A square type, plain finished
with old style roof has seldom been considered by a
planning to build a home of his own. Many home build-
have found reasons for admiring an improved type of
with cut-up and getting as far away as possiple from
aight lines and. square finish. The demand for houses of
‘ype materially increases the cost of the building.
‘he man who proposes to build—particularly if he has
led to believe that any decrease in the price of lumber
educe to a great extnt the cost of building—is entitled
yw the facts. He should be told that a reduction in
costs of any appreciable extent is not dependent so
on the reduction in lumber prices as it is on the de-
d cost of labor, hardware, plumbing, heating and light-
xtul ures and other peeetaptors items. That is—every

ND ) woopworKER

item entering into its construction, amounting to some eighty
per cent outside of the cost of the lumber, must decrease pro-
portionately to lumber before building costs are anywhere
near what was considered normal before the war. No man
knows when labor and these other building materials will
return to normal conditions or whether, in fact, they ever
will return to it.

Put the facts regarding the distribution of home build-
ing costs squarely up to the man who is intending to build
at some future date. Let him see where the big items of
expense must go. Let his judge whether he wishes to wait
for all these miscellaneous prices, including labor, to come
down. Let him be assured that the price of lumber is not
responsible for the high cost of building, and what is more,
that any significant change that might be made in the price
of lumber would make only an insignificant reduction in the
entire cost of his home.

One Great and Enduring Thing!

A philospher recently said that we are living in a brutal,
materialistic age, giving more reality to stupid, physical
things, than to God-like, enduring ideas; that are building
40-storey office structures, but writing no Hamlets; riding in
aeroplanes, but writing no Illiads.

To a considerable extent and from many viewpoints, the
gentleman was right. But there is one particular way in
which he was wrong.

There is one particular direction in which the thinkers
and workers of this age have progressed further than in any
previous age or generation, and that particular direction is
one that means more for mankind in general than either
Hamlets or Illiads—beautiful and enduring though they are
—can possibly mean.

That direction, is the science of Home Building.

In the old days when this world was young, mighty men
of mighty ideas constructed the Pyramids of Egypt—the
Parthenon at Athens; and to this day men marvel at the

’ wonders that they wrought.

But the people that built those wonders of the world—
skilled builders, as all generations since have proclaimed them
to be—lived in shelter that no self-respecting bulldog of this
day and generation would care to call his own.

Homer wrote his Illiad and his Odyssey, and sent these
priceless literary pearls down to us through the ages, and
we almost worship at the shrine of his genius.

But Homer never knew the real comforts of home. For
in those days of inspired ideas of one kind, the home making
idea was lacking.

Shakespeare gave us his wondrous writings and his shrine
grows brighter every day as we laud his genius.

But Bill never looked through a clear pane of window
zlass in his life; never dreamed of the conveniences of a mod-
ern bathroom; slept on a spring mattress; never dreamed of a
built-in book-case; never saw a glazed sun parlor; or a cool-
air sleeping porch; and what he didn’t know about steam
heat, and refrigeration, and kitchen sinks, and running water
on tap, and ventilating windows, and all the other comforts
of home, would fill a bigger book than, any he ever wrote.

For we, of this generation, have done and are continuing
to do one great and enduring thing; we have learned the
science of practical, attractive, convenient, comfortable, mod-
ern home building.

People can be no better than the homes they live in.
Cities can be no better than the average of their homes.

Pride of home ownership is one of the strongest of all
civilizing influences, and if you can make the people love their
home, you have saved that people from the blight of Bol-
shevism.

As home builders of the nation, using their utmost in-
genuity to help their people to have better homes, the lumber
industry has a marvelous future.

They are engaged in making the most beautiful and en-
during of all dreams come true.

They are tapping the infinite and translating into terms of
human thought and the finished product is spelled—home.

For of all our civilizing influences, it is homes that shall

longest and strongest endure—Gulf Coast Lumberman.

Toronto Company Wins Siding Case

The complaint of the R. Laidlaw Lumber Co., Toronto, that the
C.P.R. exact the team track interswitching toll of two cents per
hundred pounds on cars unloaded by them on a private siding of the
Toronto Power Co. at North Toronto, was recently heard before
the Board of Railway Commissioners at a sitting in Toronto and
judgment at the time was reserved. Decision was given a few days
ago in favor of the Laidlaw Co,

It appears that the latter take delivery of lumber consigned to its
Spadina yard on the siding in question, which is used as a team
track, but the C.P.R. has been charging the lumber company with in-
terswitching toll on traffic ex connecting lines. One of the principal
questions, decided in this issue, was whether deliveries made by the
railway company to the complainants should be construed to be
deliveries upon a team track or upon a private siding.

In delivering judgment the Board of Railway Commissioners say
in part: The circumstances do not permit of the conclusion that we are
asked by the railway company to make, viz; that a private siding
may, under one set of circumstances, retain its rights and privileges
as such to service by the railway and in another set of circumstances,
may lose them and may become as to tolls etc.,-only a track team. The
team tracks of a railway are part of its terminal facilities to provide
for its own traffic, and because the railway is entitled to receive a
fair return for the upkeep of its terminals and the use of its property,
it is allowed, by the Interswitching Order, to charge two cents per
100 pounds on freight there delivered because use is made of that
part of the. terminal facilities.

In the case of deliveries made upon private sidings, the terminal
facilities referred to, are not used and, therefore, if we were asked
to regard the spirit of the relative rates, the railway should not be
entitled to make a charge as for use of terminal facilities, where none
are used.

, To adopt the railway’s argument would mean that private sidings,

as in this case—may, in certain events, be made use of by the rail-
i.e. sidings built on private lands, and at the expense of the owner—
way as terminal facilities, and the service there upon or thereto,
charged for accordingly, which, in our view, is contrary to the spirit,
if not to the letter, of interswitching principles. The private siding
is, therefore, made to contribute to the upkeep of the railway’s ter-
' minals, which involves conditions entirely unsupportable. The service
was to a siding off the railway’s property privately-owned, distinct
from terminal facilities of the railway and, in every other respect, a
private siding. It would seem that the rates of one cent or ‘two cents
for interswitching service to private siding or to track respectively
attach as a result of the service to the one or the other and are not de-
pendent on the conditions of such service, nor in the case of private
sidings upon those rights of owner, inter parties, and railway and
their ; assigns respectiv rely, incident to such private sidings which the
railway company asks the Board, in this case, to consider and de-
termine as a basis of decision of the dispute involved.

Without reference to the rights of the parties respectively as to
the user of the siding in question, and which are beside the direct
issue involved, we are of the opinion that, as to all cars consigned to
complainants (R. Laidlaw Lumber Co.) by the railway company on
the private siding in question, the provisions of General Order, No.
292, clause 5 apply, and that the circumstances do not justify the
railway company in charging more for that service than is permitted
by that order for service to private sidings. Any charges in excess
of those authorized paid to the railway by the complainants, the
railway company will be permitted to refund.

Some Facts on the Lumber Situation
By K. M. Brown, Toronto, Ont. ‘

The market is quiet, very quiet. No one denies this. The retail
trade is holding off, as prices sag, waiting for “the bottom.” There
is manifested everywhere a lack of confidence in the stability of the
present market, caused primarily by the Mental Attitude of the people
toward all commodity prices. We believe that we can qualify that
statement by giving you in the following paragraphs honest facts
concerning the physical conditions surrounding the industry.

To begin with, the whole nation is hungry for shelter. There is
therefore a potential demand in the country which must sometime
materialize in a tremendous demand for building material.

Secondly, crops have been abundant, which means that the con-
suming public have the necessary funds available with which to
build. Building credits must loosen as the harvest cash finds its way
to the banks. The inability to finance building operations was a
primary factor during the past season, but this factor will be largely
eliminated during the coming year.

Again, stocks on hand at the coast mills are only 60 per cent.. of
that normally carried. What does this mean to your It indicates
clearly that a sudden rush for stock would send prices upwards. Yet

Forestry

Saving waste by improve-
ments in machinery is the key-
note of the Logging Congress
program, so I will begin by tell-
ing you what progress we have
made this past summer, in Brit-
tish Columbia along these lines.
There was a demonstration of
of the wireless telephone at our
Portland meeting th:s time last
year. Immediately after that,
our Forest Service took the mat-
ter tip and arranged for tests to
be made in February at the quar-
terly meeting of the forest pro-
tection committee. This com-
mittee cons:sts of representa-
tives of the timber owners, log-
gers and lumbermen of the prov-
ince along with the forestry off-
cials. It is a co-operative, ad-
. visory committee which helps in
__M. A. Grainger, Victoria, B. C. working out our yearly cam-
, , paign against forest fires.

__ Two companies competed in the wireless test, over a distance of
74 miles, Victoria to Vancouver. The demonstration of the Marconi
‘company was satisfactory. Contracts were therefore drawn up, and,
n May and June, wireless telephones were installed at three shore
“stations and aboard five of the launches on which our coast rangers
‘carry on their work. The instruments were rented by us on a five-
year contract; the company to keep them in proper working con-
“dition, and to give the Forest Service the benefit of any improvements
‘in equipment which may be developed during the contract period.
A full set for receiving and sending was put at each shore station,
Bt on account of inability to obtain small transmitter apparatus at
‘the time, the receiving hall only was put on the launches. By using
buzzer, however, the ranger on each boat can send a wireless tele-
graph reply in Morse code, so that we really get communication both
ways. There is a smaller compact instrument now en route for use
‘on the iaunches, which, when installed, will both send and receive by
‘telephone. The present machines run on 110 volts and a very small
amperage. At Vancouver power is furnished by the local power
company; at Van Anda, the next station, from a gas engine; and at
our ranger headquarters, Thurston Bay, from a little hydro-electric
pla

a Obstacles of Wireless Service.

_ There have been difficulties, of course. The big wireless stations
-on the coast create interference. In addition, at Vancouver, the
‘street car and other high tension power lines create an obstacle
which may possibly be overcome, but may make it necessary to move
installation to the outskirts of the city. We have been us.ng a
ecial operator at only one shore station, but may have to put a man
each. The high mountains of the coast and the many islands cut
‘down the working range of each station, but our original fear, that
‘they might prevent transmission of messages, has been proved
less. In fact, outside Vancouver, the whole system is working
orily except for jamming of the air by the big wireless tele-
| stations. This difficulty can be overcome by adopting a differ-
ve length, say 2200 to 2500 metres, instead of 1800, as used at
nt. The land stations are about 70 miles apart, the launches
on a radius of 40 miles from the stations, and the saving of time
money, and increase in efficiency of public service have been
noticeable.
S an instance, Vancouver sent a message to Van Anda to alter
in arrangements; the ranger concerned caught the message
ct 130 miles away, as well as getting it relayed from Van Anda,
it saved hima useless journey of 100 miles each way, with an
y of over $60 in launch costs and men’s time. On another
ion, a lumber company in this city heard there wasva fire on its
s a hundred miles away, was in conversation with the local

of southwestern British Columbia, kept in constant touch with busi-
ness transacted in his office in Vancouver during a two-weeks’ in-
spection trip on board one of our launches, which he made recently
in the logging country north from Vancouver. We would be pleased
if any members of this audience care to go around to his office to see
and discuss the phone. We believe that in the mountainous region
northwards, where dense forests and the network of deep tortuous
channels make ordinary telephone communication both difficult and
expensive, this wireless system is going to be very useful to logging
operators. Of course, wireless telephony is only just emerging from
the experimental stage and the further problem must be worked out
as to how a number of logging camps could ring into a central sta-
tion without. jamming the air. On party lines in ordinary city tele-
phones this difficulty has been solved, and presumably it will be also
in wireless.
Mechanical Attack on Fire.

A man was showing me over one of the pulp and paper plants
back east last summer. He said: '“These giant turbines in our power
plant, the complex paper-making machinery in our mill, show what
marvelously efficient ‘thinking has been done ‘to improve manufac-
ture. And our products are marketed by the most up-to-date sales-
manship on this continent. But in the woods, on which this large
investment depends absolutely no thinking whatever has been done.
The same o'd woods foreman is cutting timber in the same old way
that he did 50 years ago; the hardwoods are killing. out spruce repro-
duction; and 50 years hence, both mill and investment will be doomed
unless we go into the woods and do that thinking now.”

There is a similar lack of balance which we are trying to remedy

in forest fire work. Motor patrols, wireless telephony, publicity, .

have all been brought into use, to detect and prevent fires; but the
actual attack on a forest fire has kept on being mostly a pick-and-
shovel, gunnysack-beating affair. Feeling that these useful art:cles
are not the last work of modern fire fighting science, the Forest Ser-
vice has been testing portable gas driven pumps. . We have over 40
now in use, and the results have been most satisfactory. They do
not replace picks and shovels, but supplement them much as a
machine gun gives powerful support to rifle fire. Where water is
available, one pump does the work of 20 men and far more efficiently,
Near Cranbrook a single pump was largely respons‘ble for keeping
fire out of a valley containing 200 million feet of timber. Up this
coast, the inhabitants of a little sawmill settlement had given up fire
fighting one day last summer, and were watching the approaching
fire in despair, when one of. our launches arrived. The ranger and a
pump came into action, and in a very striking manner the whole
settlement was saved. Wherever a logging operator sees the work
these pumps can do, he says he will get one for himself at once, and I
hope he does not forget next day.

The pumps are gasoline-driven; weight 170 pounds; throw 45
gallons a minute, with a 180-foot head and cost about $800, with 1000
feet of hose, comnlete.. Bv using a relay tank, a couple can be used
on a working radius of 2000 feet.

Aviation.

For co-operative work with the various government services, the
Canad‘an air board has just equipped a seaplane station near Van-
couver, with hangar, slipways and machine shop. Two types of
machine are provided for—the big, heavy twin-engine flying boat
that can carry 14 persons, including the crew of three, or the same
weight of fire pumps and equipment; and the medium size seaplane
carrying one pilot and four passengers. For the present, we do not
figure on patroling in the air to detect fires; the main idea is to pro-
vide a taxi service, with machines ready to take the air in any fire
emergency.

When in England last August I was interested to notice how the
London-Paris-Brussels air service had taken its place along with the
railways as an ordinary means of travel, an average of 350 passengers
a week travelling on the mail planes. The service is said, however,
to be hardly on a paying basis yet.

Pulp Mills Coming West

There are temporary causes which make the shortage of pulp
and paper back east very acute just now. Business concerns have
the alternative of handing over money to the government as excess
profits, or of spending it in advertising. The great increase in adver-

. n® = oes Pee, tar Stale Tage eyes et Dae Bids AF ys
Ss - CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORK pee oS an.
og gat ae are “ ,

tising thus caused a corresponding increase in the use of paper, pulp
mills unable to get delivery of additional machinery until 1921, scanty
and inefficient woods labor, create an unsatified demand for pulp and
paper which introduces a touch of boom into the hunt for further
pulpwood supplies. But with all due allowance for temporary con-
ditions some things are plain enough. There is not room for more
pulp mills in the eastern states and the mills now operating are faced
with a diminishing supply of wood. d

In Eastern Canada there are a large number of mills now in
operation with wood supplies for half a century ahead, and the pre-
sent output of pulp will be increased as new machinery becomes avail-
able, present plants are enlarged and additional mills are put in to
utilize timber areas still untouched. But investigation of the reserve
forests away up north is showing that a very definite limit will be
put to this increase. Fire has injured great areas, others are hghtly
timbered, and it is becoming plain enough that, however great the
total stand may be, eastern Canada’s capacity to meet this continent's
demand for pulp and paper cannot be calculated, gloriously, by look-
ing at the big spread of country shown on the map. The fear of the
future is already driving some pulp companies to buy land and plant
trees; exploring parties are out to pick up every accessible area; che-
mists are hard at work finding out how to use the poorest kinds of
timber; and some concerns are even about to take the last revolu-
tionary step of cutting methods that will give nature the chance
she needs to produce another crop of merchantable timber. —

To anyone in my line of business the thought of a logg:ng con-
cern cutting w:th a serious commercial eye towards _ reforestation
is rather humorous, after the way operators have laughed at that sort
of thing as sentimental forestry.

Interest in Pulp Development

People all over the East are talking pulp. ‘Controversy rages be-
tween publishers’ associations and producers on each side of the in-
ternational boundary, one country calling loudly for raw material,

‘ which the other holds back. Great Britain keeps on worrying over

her supply, and a conference of newspapermen of the British Em-
pire toured Canada this summer and inquired about pulp. Govern-
ment offices in the West are kept busy month after month with the
procession of people who want to find out about western pulpwood.
Promoters travel to and fro submitting propositions to financial houses
in London, Chicago and New York, Special publicity is given to the
pulp resources of Alaska. So, with all due allowances for temporary
causes, which are adding an element of excitement, it seems plain
enough that there is a big movement on foot, and that the pulp and
paper industry is being compelled to come out West to the last great
pulpwood forests of the continent.

On the Pacific Coast pulp and paper manufacture has got past
the pioneering stage. It is an estabiished business with an appreciable
yearly output and an increasing marked demand. But with half a

dozen mills in a country the size of British Columbia, it is plain that.

only a beginning has so far been made. Think of the hemlock-spruce
forests that spread along the Pacific slope northward from the main
fir-cedar belt, both in this province and Alaska; the great stretch of
the second wet belt (the Selkirks) with only one mill drawing any
pulpwood from it; the Northern Interior timber, with modern chem-

- istry prepared to show how even inferior species like lodgepole can be

made use of in producing pulp. Besides all this, there is the immense
stand of pulp timber that is mixed with sawlog material in the fir-
cedar regions. Here it is that we need the pulp and paper business
most particularly—from the logging and forestry points of view, so
as to make it possible to save some of the tremendous waste of stump-
age that now takes place in opening up a tract for sawlogs only.

Western Logging Due for Change

We are surely on the brink of change in western logging. The
world has never seen timber massacred on such a scale before. There
is more knocked down and wasted than ever grows in most other
countries. It creates the worst kind of fire trap. It even shocks us
on’ the Coast where we are pretty well hardened to every form of
waste there is. Fine young hemlock down and burned; more of it
littering the ground, unburned; still more untouched and useless left
when the logging roads were taken up—these were three pictures in
one operation which Mr. Palmer, of Chemainus, asked me to send a
good forester around any highlead works.

{ know there is the old anecdote to be remembered about the

_ North Pole explorer who would have been a millionaire if he could

have got all that ice into New York on any Fourth of July. It is true
enough that whatever value the hemlock, balsam, small fir and cedar
knocked down by high leads might have had if it were in an Euro-
pean forest, it has had no value here. But change is in the air. -The
problem of taking out small stuff along with the big has become one
of front rank importance to pulp companies and the movement west-
ward of the pulp and paper industry, which is now on foot, is a guar-
antee that commercial causes will soon bring to an end this period
of tremendous waste. After all, the high lead system is still in its in-
fancy and engineering talent will find out how to get-a double

; ;
so. Only a mile or two from where this C ss is as
periments have been made this summer in getting off pulp mater
in poles and four-foot lengths—ahead of the sawlog operation; ar
Mr. Palmer’s camp 5 on Vancouver Talkie they are figu
cradles which*can be lifted bodily onto the cars.
British Empire Conference P
There was a meeting in England this summer of represent ti
of*timber interests and forestry services from all over the British
pire. It was noticeable how these people look upon the West as
home of logging engineering, so much so that some government
seas are beginning to require certain members of their forest
to study on this coast. This is in line with our western point c
which requires that forestry and forest education should have
broader and more commercial meaning than the old aca

Understanding this situation, Mr. Cheyney began at Rush

_ Death of Mr. David J. Buckley
ninent and highly-respected lumberman of the province of
ew Brunswick passed away recently in the person of Mr. Dav-d J.
ai tesa He was one of the leading lumber operators
mill owners in the busy Miramichi district and had been in failing
for several months.
e late Mr. Buckley was 56 years of age, was the sole owner
large and up-to-date plant at French Fort Cove and also the
1 mill. Mr. Buckley originally operated a large mill at Rogers-
N.B., and in 1911 erected the splendid plant at Newcastle, whic
capacity of about 9,000,000 superficial feet a year. :
. Buckley was chairman of the Lumbermen’s Association for
mberland county, and had a thorough, practical knowledge

e various ramificat:ons of the industry. He was a member of the
wn Lands Advisory Board, which was established in 1918, being
re presentative ofthe lumbermen of New Brunswick on that body.
Was also the first pres:dent of the Lumbermen’s Protective Asso-
n, from the presidency of which he retired in June, 1918.

Mr. Buckley was a man of keen business instinct, high sense of

viying him are three children, two daughters and one son, Tear
y, who has been associated with his father for,a number of
“5 in the business. Mr. Buckley’s mother also survives and re-
in Moncton. The funeral, which took place from his late resi-
ence | St. Mary’s Church, Newcastle, was attended by lumbermen,
ho took occasion to pay their last tribute of respect to one who did
ing in his power to further and uphold the standing and wel-

om great industry.

nas American Lumber Cut Slightly Larger

he lumber cut of the United States in 1919 will vary from that
3 by only a relatively small quantity, according to a preliminary
ative report recently issued by the Bureau of the Census,
ed in co-operation with the Forest Service.

» statement shows the production of lumber for 1918 and 1919
entical mills each of which cut five million feet or more in
e or both of these years. This group of large mills normally
‘more than 1/3 of the total lumber cut of the country. The
are located in 34 states, therefore production conditions in prac-
all lumber section of importance are represented.
he total cut of these 788 mills as reported in 1919 shows an
f only 3/10 of 1 per cent. over that of 1918. On the basis of
000,000 feet production for 1918, this would indicate a total
19 of approximately 32,100,000,000 feet.
largest state increase of 1919 over 1918 is shown in Wash-

If building and other improvements are to be carried out as con-
templated within the next few years, large quantities of material must |)
be procured from Canada and the west coast of the United States, |
says a recent despatch from Auckland, New Zealand. With this end 5 if
in view a large corporation has been organized in New Zealand, with =|

to arrange for a supply of lumber.

It is claimed that New Zealand within the next two or three years
would consume 40,000,000 or 50,000,000 feet of lumber from Canada
and the United States, and possibly this might be repeated during
the next five or six years. for there must be a large amount of con-
struction done in order to meet the demands of the rap:d development
in different sections of the country.

Coast Mills Selling Lumber at Loss

That lack of demand for lumber from the prairie provinces is
forcing many British Columbia lumber mills to close down, which
means a reduction in the supply, a condition that will eventually in-
crease the price, is the statement made by a coast lumberman in the
course of an interview recently at Calgary. He says that the mills
are selling lumber for less than it cost them to produce, and with the

many of them are closing down.

By sacrificing the stock of lumber now on hand, the coast mill
men are clearing out their supply, and when the 1921 demand comes
there will be nothing to sell. This will result in a rush of orders
which the lumbermen will be unable to meet, and this will force a
further inflation of prices.

Scarcity of logs is another problem that the mills have had to
contend with according to this lumberman. He says that during the

mum output, many camps were closed by reason of bush fires. In
September the rains, which lasted for 22 days, also raised havoc
with the loggers.

“The summer’s log cut is less than it should have been,” he said.

“ Tt is estimated that there is less than 50 per cent. of the amount
of logs necessary at this season to provide the mills during the winter
season, when very few logs are produced.

“Demand for logs being greater than supply, leaves little hope of
any lowering in the price of logs, which average about $26 per 1,000
to the mills.

“Manufacturers of lumber agree that $14 per 1,000 ft. B.M. is the
average cost of manufacture from logs to lumber, and loading it on
cars for shipment at the mills. -With $26 logs, the average value of — F
lumber at the mills is $40 per M. The present on the few prairie orders
being placed are-averaging less than $37.50 per M., thus leaving:a loss a
to the mill man of $2.50 per M. i

“The resut of this condition is that approximately 1,000,000 ft. .
daily capacity of the coast mills is now closing down, and with con- |

|
|
i

~

tinuance of present conditions other mills will be forced to follow. :
“In August the coast mill’s stocks were over 7,000,000 ft. less than
at January 1, 1920. The demand, however, was light, therefore the re-
lationship between supply and demand was such as to force mills to
seek the market. Had the demand been normal, conditions would
have been similar to those existing last February, when it was impos-_
sible to buy any volume of lumber. ’ =» Grae
“In the early part of the year, when wholesale prices were $52,50_
for common lumber and $19 for lath to the prairie yards, the retail
prices to the consumer were not raised, the retailer absorbing a loss | _
on any of this extremely high priced lumber which he had to buy. |
Consumers of Canadian lumber on the American side of the line did
have to pay these prices, but, fortunately, for but a short period of — —
time.

Work of Airplane in Forest Patrol

Airplane forest patrols in California were able recently to reach
the scene of a fire forty-five hours sooner than had they proceeded — |
by train and pack mule, a report to the United States Army Air Ser-
vice shows. An aerial observer spotted its blaze in Lassen forest |
while all foresters were engaged in fighting another fire in the Merced _
forest. Planes picked up the fire-fighters in the Merced zone and |
rushed them to the Lassen fire. ;

“Tn three hours,” says the report, “the fire-fightmg personnel was
on the job fighting the flames, whereas, had they proceeded by train
and pack mule, 48 hours would have been consumed. H

“The day will come when men and equipment will be carried by
airships to the scene of fire, both men and equipment dropped by para-
chute, while the airship will rain down fire-extinguishing chemicals

Will Guard Well New Brunswick’s Assets

Hon. €. W. Robinson, who was
returned on the Government
ticket in the city of Moncton in
the recent provincial elections, is
the new Minister of Lands and
Mines for New Brunswick, suc-
ceeding Hon. (Dr.) E, A. Smith,
who resigned. Previous to his
appointment to this important
post, he was a minister in the
Foster Government without port-
folio. Mr. Robinson was opposed
in the late contest by both an
Opposition and a Labor candi-
date, but won by a large majority.

He is a warm friend of the lum-
bering interests and is president
of Robinson, Wright & Co., who
operate sawmills in Shulee, Cum-
berland county, N.S. He is a law-
yer by profession and a success-
ful one, too, and, in the political
arena, he is a foremost figure, be-
ing looked upon as one of the
ablest parliamentarians in the Maritime provinces. Moncton is his
native city and it was in that progressive centre that he first saw the
light of day fifty-four years ago. He was called to the New Bruns-
wick bar in 1893 and has since enjoyed a wide clientele as a barrister
and counsel. In 1896 he entered the political arena, being an unsuc-
cessful candidate. in Westmoreland for the House of Commons. - The
following year he was returned for the New Brunswick Legislature,
Mr. Robinson was
Speaker for the Assembly for six years and a member of the cabinet
without portfolio. He was Provincial Secretary and later Premier
of the province in 1907-8. His party having been defeated in March,
1908, he resigned the Premiership. Elected at the general elections in
1917, he accepted upon the formation of the Foster Governmient, a
position in the Cabinet without portfolio. Mr, Robinson is a former
Mayor of Moncton and a former president of the Board of Trade of
that progressive city. In his new capacity as Minister of Lands and
Mines, he will bring to bear upon his duties thoroughness, energy and
aggressiveness.

Hon. C. W. Robinson, Moncton, N.B.

Will Operate on Large Scale
G. Mason & Co., who, as stated in a recent issue of the “Canada
Lumberman,” have acquired the entire holdings of Manley Chew,
Midland, Ont., say that they will operate on an equal, if not larger,
scale than Mr. Chew, cutting their logs at the Midland and Thunder
Bay mills, which are included in the purchase. The Midland mill is
an exceptionally complete and modern one and will be run to capacity
next season to meet both local and export requirements. The entire
Canadian operations will be under the personal supervision of Major
G. L. Main, who has handled all the Canadian ventures of Mason &
Co, It is the intention of the new owners to retain the entire Manley
Chew organization and to establish a record output for next season.
The purchase includes Mr. Chew’s limits, comprisng five town-
ships north of Sudbury, the Islands of Beckwith and Hope, in
and Shawanaga. Roughly speaking, there is 250,000,000 feet of
Georgian Bay, and licenses covering Whitefish Indian Reserve, Dell

standing timber involved in the large transaction.

Pigeon River Co. Close Operations

The Pigeon River Lumber Co., Port Arthur, closed down recently
after sawing up every log in the big raft which was brought to the
mill eatly in the summer. During the past three weeks the mill had
been turning out mine timber which was sent to the east.

The company recently suffiered a severe loss when their planing
mill was destroyed by fire, but were fortunate in that all the lumber
escaped except what was contained in the planing mill building. The
loss in the planing mill was $30,000, with $20,000 insurance. It is
stated that the company is yet undecided whether or not the directors
will rebuild.

New Brunswick’s Cut Will be Short
The quantity of lumber cut in New Brunswick during the coming
winter will be less than fifty per cent. of this season’s output, accord-
ing to lumbermen who have been in Fredericton.
, On the North Shore, it is said, reductions are even greater than
elsewhere and the curtailment will result in the cut not amounting
to but little more than one-third in some cases of this year’s amount.

‘The principal reason ascribed for the curtailment is the labor situa
which, lumbermen say, makes it impossible to operate profitably. —

The Stetson-Cutler Company, which includes the Shives Ce
pany on the Restigouche and a number of minor subsidiaries, plz
on reducing their cut from seventy to not more than twenty-
million feet, and other American controlled companies will do like
wise. The Miramichi Lumber Company will reduce their cut t
more than one-half, most of their operation this year being on th
free-hold land, while the Dalhousie Lumber Company, which is a
controlled by the International Paper Company, will not operate
camps this winter and will only handle some six million feet
they are obligated to take under an existing contract. a

The Nashwaak Pulp and Paper Company are said to have 1
paying as high as $90 and $95 for men to work on their oper;
this season and those figures have secured all the labor they
for their operations. Other lumber companies engaging me
are said to have made $70 to $75 the at es figures they will
and in view of the outlook and with the curtailed cut declare
will not be justified in paying more. :

Zanadian Hardwoods for Furniture
_ Leading Firm Devoting Special Attention to Birch Which
> is Capable of Being Working Up in Any Design

The importance of the use of Canadian hardwoods in furniture
mufacturing has been appreciatively referred to from time to time
in the “Canada Lumberman,” and it is interesting to ‘note that en-
iraging progress is being made in this direction. The matter has
taken up by a number of companies, manufacturers and lum-
men and is receiving attention to a degree never previously at-

\t a recent meéting of the Rotary Club of Toronto, A. E. Clark,
mer chairman of the Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association of
to and a member of the Board of Directors of the Canadian
ermen’s Association, gave an impressive address on “The Pro-
ion and Uses of Hardwood Lumber.” In closing he stated that
wood lumbermen had his special place in the world, and in
hen buying furnture, he (Mr. Clarke) hoped that his hearers
ndeavor to purchase some pieces for their homes which were
from the products of Canadian forests. This reference was
and evidently developed a new line of thought on the part
eral members of the large gathering. -
In retail furniture circles the problem of the more extended
consumption of Canadian hardwoods in the production of furniture
ming to the front. Not a few furniture retailers have from time
time made representations urging Canadian manufacturers to do
re to popularize their native woods, especially birch. Canada pos-
more birch than any other species of hardwood, while maple
, second in the list. According to the latest returns available,
hich cover the year 1918, the total production of hardwoods in the
inion was 201,667 M. feet. Of this the greatest cut was birch,
constituted 76,165 M. feet bm. Then came maple with 47,884
feet. Other species of considerably less quantities were ash, elm,
wood, etc.
The North American Furniture Co., Limited, of Owen Sound,
of the aggressive organizations in the furniture arena, are devot-
attention to the manufacture of furniture and chairs of Canadian
, and has been particularly successful in treating them with a
ut finish, to which they have given the name of “Chrome Walnut.”
ade mark, “Chrome Walnut,” has been registered and samples
0 the “Chrome Walnut” finish, which have been sent out, reveal a
ig appearance. The finish is remarkable for its beauty and at-
reness. :
_ The company. say they find that birch is an excellent cabinet
ood, capable of being worked up in practically any design in which
walnut is used. Furniture made in this “Chrome Walnut”
not sold as imitation walnut, but as birch, and the words
ame Walnut” apply only to the finish.
The North American Furniture Co. declare that in actual wear
ch will stand up equally well with American black walnut, and
en properly finished, it has just as handsome an appearance. There
oubt if this birch was imported from some distant countries,
wld be regarded as one of the precious woods. “We think,” con-
D. E. Macintyre, vice-president of the company, “that every
ould be made to use more birch to the exclusion of the
American woods, especially at this time when there is an
trade balance between Canada-and the United States.”

The Great Problem—Grow More Wood
. ree-fifths of the originial supply of timber in the United
een’ and every year we are taking out of our forests four
he amount of wood that we are growing in them. - Moreover,
s availability of the remaining timber is rapidly becoming less.
he remaining timber of continental United States is in the
tes bordering the Pacific Ocean. And the true index of timber
is not the quantity that is left but its availability.
» real cause of our timber depletion is idle forest land. The
le or largely idle land is being increased by form three to

The enormous area of forest land in the United States
red for any other economic use, estimated at four hudred
ee million acres, would provide an ample supply of wood if
kept productive. Depletion has resulted, not from using our
‘resources, but from failure to use our timber-growing land.
e answer to the forestry problem of the United States is not
s wood but to grow more—to put our idle acres of burned
d-off timber land at work growing trees. Three-fourths
oblem lies in preventing forest fires. But it does require
ssive national policy of reforestation. It require concerted
‘the national and state governments to do the thing which

Another Stimulus to Building Houses

Municipal councils in the important centres of the Dominion have
been continually confronted throughout the present year with the
vexatious problem of providing adequate housing to accommodate the
steadily growing populations. Various expedients have been under-
taken in order to overcome this difficulty but so far no one has proved
a satisfactory solution. Perhaps in no city has the housing situation Nhe
been more acute than in Toronto, but municipal endeavor in providing | i
relief has been of comparatively insignificant effect. The latest pro- |
posal on the matter suggests the exemption from taxation of all new |
houses for a period of three years. The inference is that, relieved
from the burden of taxation for this period, there will be a greater
stimulus given to the erection of houses, and the situation partially
relieved.

Making Good Shingles from Stumps

Oscar Newstream and F. J. Sprague, partners, are operating about
twenty miles from Seattle, Wash., a tiny shingle mill which needs but
four men to rtin it. They have working on the logged-off land about
the mill-from six to eight men who cut the shingle bolts. Big wagons
haul their product into Duvall, where it finds a ready market.

Newstream owns 30 acres upon which the mill is situated and

their immediate vicinity are exhausted the partners will probably ,
move the mill to the timber instead of the timber to the mill as is
the case with the big companies. The smallness and portability of
the machinery makes this. profitable. iA

The establishment of the little mill is a pioneering achievement. ~ 7
While Sprague and Newstream are cutting bolts, they are also clearing +
their lands and that of other “stump” farmers, and in their spare i
hours they burn and slash and seed on their little ranches. Practically i
all of the men employed by the mill are owners of 10 and 20 acre
tracts in ifs vicinity, and the little industry serves to bring them ready i}
money during the period that must elapse in which they can bring |
their tracts to the producing stage.

This is the third time these lands have been gone over. H
came the lumberman who took out the biggest and finest timber. They |
scorned trees with twisted grain and cut high to avoid the bulge at |
the base of the trees. Many gigantic trees were left standing. Some
years later, when cedar had become less abundant, the lands were
gone over again and everything that was merchantable was taken
out. Today lumbermen are taking cedar they would not Iook at years
ago. Trees are cut close to the ground. The entire logging industry
has undergone a change.

.“And I don’t doubt for a moment,” said F. J. Sprague, one of the
owners of the mill, “‘that ten years from now these tracts will be
gone over again for what we leave.”

This prediction is borne out by the status of the shingle industry
at this time. The sources of down logs are practically extinct. Only
the standing timber remain, and the cedar trees in this, which used
to be left, are now being taken out with the fir, and as there are but
few cedars. in comparison with the firs, the operation is a costly one.

The number of “backwoods” sawmills, as they are called, are.
bound to increase as the cedar sources are exhausted near the big
markets. Not only the cedar but the fir and other stumps are coming
to have a value and many men are finding it profitable to cut cord-
wood from stumps and fallen logs on logged off land adjacent to
Seattle and other cities.

B. C. Sawmills Are Closing Down

A recent despatch. from New Westminster, B.C., says that the
Bucklin Lumber Co. has closed down its sawmill for an indefinite
period, but with the expectation of reopening in January or February.
This action is in line with predictions made at a recent conference of

would either close or reduce their output. The Canadian Western
Lumber Company, it is understood, has already commenced curtail-
ment, and the Brunette Mills, while still running at full capacity, may
either close or curtail in the near future if the market remains in
its present unsatisfactory state.

Several mills in the Vancouver district have closed down, and
on the other side of the line it is said that half the mills have sus-
pended operations.

at Fredericktown, Mo. He has inaugurated a novel plan to eliminate
the credit trade and declares that the method—‘“Cash and Carry”—
is working out satisfactorily. Mr, Farquhar asserts that under no
circumstances would he go back to the old system of doing business.
He believes in the benefit of newspaper advertising and when he
struck out on original lines he inserted the following, in a prominent
space in the press: “Beginning Sept. 1, 1920, we will discontinue de-
livering and also will sell for cash only. This means to one and all,
so please do not ask for credit. We positively will not credit anyone,
for we are gding to hew to the line and will treat everybody alike,

giving all a square deal.”” The advertisement also announced a dis-
count of 5 per cent. on every item in stock.

Many concerns are following the course of the Fredericktown
man with interest. A few days ago he received an appreciative letter
from the manager of an Arkansas lumber yard approving the “Cash
idea. The letter read:

“For some time I have been of the opinion that a cash and carry
plan can be made to succeed.

“Personally, if I were the owner of one lumber yard, I think I
could manage to take the capital which I have invested, convert my
business into a ‘cash and carry business,’ buy another lumber yard, and
maintain the two, yards with the investment which I had formerly
had at the one yard.

“T think this is true because I believe it to be a fact that in our
section of the country the average retail lumberman has as much
invested in his accounts receivable as he has in his merchandise, per-
sonal property and real estate.

“For my part, I shall be one of many who will watch the results |

of your experiment it you will allow us to do so, with intense interest.

“In closing, I hope and pray that your experiment will be highly
successful ; that your example will be emulated by the rank and file
of the industry. I hope that the great day will come when we can
all hold up the hand of J. S. N. Farquhar and proclaim to the world
that here is the man who did more for the industry than any other man
of recent years.”

In acknowledging receipt of the communication, Mr. Farquhar
said:

“IT consider the credit business of the retail lumber dealers the
ereatest menace of the industry, and a tremendous overhead item
that can be eliminated, thereby saving thousands of dollars to the
lumber consuming public, by the discontinuance of delivery which is
often very wasteful, no loss in accounts, no interest on borrowed
money to carry accounts, and the good time now lost on collections,
put to bigger volume of sales.

“For your information will say that so far the cash and carry
experiment has worked like a charm with us. I honestly believe it
will be a success, and I am positive it can be made a success if all the
retailers will just make up their minds they can turn their business
into a cash and carry one, with the net profits in the bank every
night.”

How to Tell Birch, Beech, and Maple Apart

Birch, beech, and maple are very similar in appearance, and have
approximately the same weight. Hence it is comparatively easy to
mistake one of them for the other. A method which anyone can use
to distinguish them is suggested by the United States Forest Products
Laboratory. The method makes use of the relative width of the pores
and medullary rays in the three woods.

If the end grain of birch, beech, or maple is cut smooth with a —
sharp. knife and “examined with a hand lens, the pores will be seen as —
tiny holes distributed fairly evenly over the surface, and the medul-
lary rays will appear as narrow lines of a different shade running at

right angles to the growth rings. a

In beech some of the rays are very distinct even without a lens. .—
The large rays are fully twice as wide as the largest pores.

In maple the rays are less distinct, and the largest are about ae
same width as the largest pores.

In birch the rays are very fine, invisible without a lens. The pores
are several times larger than the rays, usually being visible to the

wnaided eye as minute holes on the end grain and as fine grooves on
sndased faces of the board. The pores in birch are considerably larger
than the pores in beech or maple.

-* Why Building Costs Are So High

The high cost of building is chiefly due to tremendous increases in
labor costs, measured not alone in wage scales but in decreased
efficiency, according to Joseph J. Koen, Jr., in the Magazine of Wall.
Street. Wages have risen (in N. Y.): bricklayers, 70c an hour to
carpenters, 62'%4c. to $1; painters, 50c. to $1; electricians, 50c.
to $1; laborers, 17'%c. to 75c.; plasterers, 68 3/4c. to $1.06; plumbers,
56c. to $1. Building is not as attractive as other trades because it is ©
seasonally irregular, is exposed to the weather and is, generally speak-
ing, dirty and ‘fatiguing. Unless forced down by a general financial _
collapse, the writer does not anticipate any marked decline i in building |
costs within ten years.

After Twenty Years Looking On

For twenty years two chess players met daily at Brown’s
Chop House, took their places, silently played their game,
silently departed. For twenty years a third party sat by and
silently looked on.

Then one of the two players failed to show up—for the
first time in twenty years. After waiting a few minutes, his
partner said to the onlooker, “I guess he. isn’t coming today.
Will you play his men?’ “Sorry,” was the answer, “but I don’t
know the game.’

He had followed every move for twenty years but he didn’t
know the game. He had watched the drama of king and castle
for two decades without sensing a single undercurrent of strat-
egy, speculating on a single motive, or anticipating a single
coup.

He had displayed infinite patience in looking at the game,
but he couldn’t be bothered looking into it. He “showed every
sympton of life except its first symptom—curiosity. ‘

He belonged to that listless army of passive observers
who clutter up the side lines of business—men who look with-
out seeing, listen without hearing, do without understanding.

Placed in an office—at a bench—he would remain twenty
years ignorant of his neighbor’s job, his superior’s problems,
his own significance. When the opportunity for advancement
came, he would have to say, “Sorry, but I don’t know the
game.’—The Better Way.

Logging Operations up the Gatineau Valley

How Successful Jobber for Large Lumber Firm in Quebec Province Gets Out Timber,
Builds Roads and Accommodates the Men—The Cut-over Areas =

*By W. G. Wright, H. M. Hughson and F. H. Horton

It was the original intention of our party to study operations at
a shanty ran directly by Gilmour & Hughson, Limited, Hull, P. Q.
one of the bigger lumber firms operating in the Gatineau Valley, but
as the nearest shanty was some 60 miles from the railhead, and, as
the roads were not in condition for either wagon or sleigh, we were
given the opportunity to go into a camp, about seven miles from the
Gatineau Valley branch of the Canadian Pacific Railway, run by one
of Gilmour & Hughson’s most successful jobbers, M. Miljour.

This jobber’s contract resulted from Gilmour & Hughson’s de-
cision to cut 41,000 logs, reported available by their cruiser, in the
Township of Alleyn, east of Kanakagamo Lake and north of the
Pickanock River, and in Ranges 1 and 11 in the Township of Dorian.

Toting teams at sub-depot of Gilmour & Hughson, Hull, Que.

The contract calls for delivery of the logs in the Gatieau at $13.00
per M.F.B.M. This was on the whole, a fair price, though it was
expected that part of the tract would be operated at a very small
profit or even at a loss. The cutting of 26,000 pieces was sub-let to
other jobbers in the southwestern and northern portions of the area,
Miljour reserving for his own operation the difficult part of the con-
tract, about 12 square miles in Ranges VII and VIII in Alleyn, and
Range 1 in Dorian.

The particular tract studied lies at the head of a small stream
“running south-east to the Pickanock River and included part of the
watershed between this stream and Cherry Creek, into which latter
stream the sub-contractor to the north was to deliver his logs. There
is an almost regular alternation of low ridges and bottoms; this in-
fluences: the logging methods. Moist bottoms, usually containing
streams and swamps, constitute mainly the site of the hauling roads
All skidways are placed at the bottom of slopes so that decking with
horses being necessary.

The ridges are occupied by hardwoods which give way to conifers
in the bottoms. There are two main hardwood types. Of the one,
that on the higher land in the direction of Cherry Creek, beech and
oak make up respectively 35 per cent. and 25 per cent. the remainder
being maple, yellow birch, poplar, scattered pine and white birch.
The reproduction is beech, maple and some balsam. The other type,
covering the greater part of the hardwood area, differs in that yellow
birch and maple predominate, each about 45 per cent.; the remaining
10 per cent. being small beech, ironwood, poplar and spruce. The re-
production is the same as in the previous type.

In the coniferous type occupying the bottoms two stories may
be recognized. The upper is generally white pine and birch, with
an under story of balsam, maple, spruce and birch in widely varying
proportions. There is an almost entire absense of white pine reproduc-
tion on the tract even in fairly open stands; at any rate it was not
-visible above the snow. As provided in the contract, the area was
logged only for say timber, although there is some balsam and spruce
suitable for pulpwood, running one to two cords per acre. There is
practically no poplar suitable for that purpose.

The logs cut were sound, although about 10 per cent. of the
‘white pine was left standing on account of rot. On the whole the

timber was well grown and straight giving on the average a merch
able length of 50 feet in a 65 to 70-foot tree. Among the denser sta:
in some of the bottoms the top left might average 15 feet in an 8
tree, whereas in open stands on the slopes many tops would run 30 fe
in a 65-foot. tree. From measurements taken on sample areal
maximum and average stands were estimated at 21 M. and 6 M.
The average taper was found to be 1.4 inches per 16-foot log.

Location of Shanty Close to Tote Road. eS

It was desired to locate the camp on the area to be logged ‘el
to an old tote road, which would require only a small expendit re te
be made passable. No streams or lake were found available r+
vicinity, but good and sufficient water was found at a depth
on a well drained and level piece of ground on the edge of at t
and as one of the main hauling roads. This decided the actual
of the shanty . it

Theoretically, it would have been better to locate iia
the centre of the area to be logged, as this was about 3 or 4 + wale
square, but the site chosen was the only one suitable within a reason-
able distance of the timber and the tote road. The expenditure
necessary to extend the road to a more central position would not have
been repaid by the time saved in going to and from work. Most of
the timber was within one and one-half or two miles from the shanty. —
On Miljour’s particular operation theemerchantable timber was very -
scattered, the whole tract of 12 square miles yielding less than-
1,000,000 F.B.M.

Very little work was required on the tote road. Only one bridge
was built and that consisted of two 12-foot stringers thrown across
a small stream and covered with corduroy.

The shanty occupied about three-quarters of an acre. This area”
was cleared of standing timber and any trees in the vicinity liable
to be overthrown onto any of the buildings were felled also.

The following buildings were erected to accomodate about 30,
men and 10 teams:

The organization of the shanty crew of 28 was as follows =

“roller. In addition to these, there was a spare gang consisting of two
men and one teamster with team, who were employed to assist any
of the log makers, teamsters or rollers, who got behind with their
‘work owing to difficult working conditions or for other reasons. Also
four men were employed the whole time on the construction of
“hauling roads. The wives of two of the crew acted as cooks and
accommodation was provided for them and their husbands in the cook
‘camp. Chores were done ‘by one of the crew who left work early
_ in the afternoon for this purpose.

_ Each member of the crew, except the cooks, received the same
jage, namely $60.00 per month, including board. This is equivalent

~ to $2.30 per man for each of the 26 working days in the month. Time
off due to inclement weather was not paid for. The actual working
day was estimated at $3.17.
There was no special organization for toting, as the opportunity
is taken for drawing necessary supplies when teams are making trips
into the supply centre for blacksmith work. The outward trip may be
charged up to this, and the day for the return trip to toting. The
supply centre on the railway is about 12 miles from the shanty.

- The usual wagon load is about 1100 pounds. Hauling this costs,
on the above basis, a day’s time of one team and teamster, $6.77, so
_ that the cost of toting by wagon is about 60 cents per 100 pounds. The
load for a jumper, used on snow roads, is about 1800 pounds. The
" .cost for toting on snow is, therefore, about 38 cents per 100 pounds.

Location of Hauling Roads..

While the construction of the camp was going on, one-half of
the foreman’s time was put on locating roads and skidways. Haul-
' ing roads followed as far as possible the swamps and stream beds,
' which gave egress for all parts of the tract to the stream which forms
_ the main haul route to the landing on Two Mile Lake, an expansion
_ of the Pickanock.

_ or country where streams and sloughs are not relied on for
_ hauling roads, mileage for a given area depends on the location
_ Of the timber and the maximum skidding distance deemed profitable.
_ On the other hand, in country such as Gatineau Valley, the mileage
; 7s haul roads depends on the location of the timber and the available
streams and sloughs. Here the distance skidded might have to be
lengthened beyond what would otherwise be the profitable limit.
In this particular operation about 8 miles of hauling road were
q “required for the area of about 12 square miles, including two miles
‘ from the edge of the tract to the landing.

5 ors a . Log Making and the Cutters.
_ The foreman of the camp directs the felling crews as to the
lar blocks of timber they are to cut and shows the cutters the
mnding skidway site.
The crew consists of head sawyer and helper. The head sawyer
s the tree to be cut which is then notchd and felled. He marks
ne length as prescribed by the contract which calls for 1612-foot
3¥%4-foot logs for all other timber: the longer length is taken
ver possible. Putting on the company’s bark mark and limbing
follows. The two men then buck up the tree. A 3%-pound
sled-bitted axe was used. Handles were usually made by the
actor himself, his preference for material being ironwood. A
stone is usually carried by each man. A 5%%4-foot crosscut saw
5 customarily employed, the usual type for conifers, having four
fers to one double raker, and with large dust spaces. The sawyers
their own filing. Each driving crew is equipped with two 7-inch
iron wedges notched on one face and joined together by a 3-foot
eather thong. For driving these a 4-pound sledge is used, For

~

convenience in carrying, the sledge-handle is passed through a slit
in the afore mentioned thong. The measuring stick is a peeled
hardwood sapling 8 feet 3 inches long with a notch 1 foot from
either end. This arrangement allows it’s use for‘either 13-foot, 14-foot
or 16-foot logs, the additional 3 inches giving the necessary overrun.

The last date on which a count was taken was December 15th;
up to and including that date 8225 logs had been cut. This at an
average log content of 65 F.B.M., is equivalent to 542,850 F.B.M. This
cut occupied 103 crew days so that the average daily cut per crew
is 80 logs or about 5275 F.B.M.

In calculating the cost of the daily cut, two-fifths of the time of
the two extra men in the spare gang may be charged-to this operation:
this amounts to $2.54 and one-third of this 85 cents is to be added to
the daily cost of each log-making crew.

Daily cost of log-making crew:

2 sawyers at $3.17. $6.34

Proportion of cost or spare gang to be charged to be
to each log-making crew : 85
$7.19

Daily cut is 5275 F.B.M. at a cost of $7.19.
to a cost for log-making of $1.36 per F.B.M.

This is equivalent

Skidding and Trailing Operations.

While skidding is being completed: at one skidway the trail cut-
ters follow the sawyers to the next block of timber. First of all
they clear the skidway site. Skids are then built into position so as
to form a level platform for the logs, and a small log is notched into
the outer end of the skids crossways to form a stop. The time taken
to prepare a skidway ‘was very variable owing to the differing nature
of the ground and the occasional need of a skidding team, but the
average time taken may be estimated at about one hour for two men.
When this work is finished the trail cutters start on the new trails.

As the skidways are located at the bottoms of slopes, practically
all trails are down hill. There were one or two main trails, each with
numerous branches. Only under exceptional circumstances was any
skidding done from’ a greater distance than 400 feet. The amount of
underbrush and windfall was small, so that the cost of trail construc-
tion was low. The length of trail per acre was very variable but in
the average stand was found to run about 750 feet; cutting this
occupied about one day for two men.

The teamster and roller work in conjunction. It is customary
to use a two-horse team, though sometimes, where distances are short
and obstructions plentiful, one horse may be used for a short time.

’ The general run of the logs being small, the snaking chain with
choker is used in preference to tongs, so that two logs may be
brought in at a time. The snaking chain is attached to the team
by means of a grab hook and clevice on the spreader or doubletree,
as the case may be. As the skidway grows in height, skids are re-
quired for piling, and the roller may be assisted when necessary by

Another slide on Gilmour & Hughson’s limits

the teamster or one of the trail cutters. The small size of the logs
and the abundance of skidways render a decking team unnecessary.
The roller stamps the company’s mark four or five timés on both
ends of each log. The average skidway contained about 90 logs,
which were to remain there until the hauling commenced. 5

The same figures used in calculating the cost of logmaking may
be employed in arriving at the cost of skidding, the balance of the
time of the spare gang being charged to this operation.

Scaling is done when the logs are assembled on the skidway.
The company’s culler and one assistant do the scaling for the six

for this purpose and the contractors are advanced funds by the
company on the basis of the cut.

The culler has a steel scale, tape line, lumber-lead pencil and
a tally board. His assistant has a steel scale and a lumber-lead. They
work on opposite sides of the skidway. Measurements are taken in-
side the bark and the smaller diameter is taken to obtain the scale.
The culler makes a stroke on his board in the space allotted to the
diameter, length and species to which the log belongs. When the
skidway is completed both culler and assistant count the logs to see
that none are overlooked. The scale is figured out in the office. Very
little defective timber was made into logs in this operation so that
practically no culling for defect was necessary; allowances are made
for defect when they appear. The log may be culled in extreme cases.
An average of 130,000 I*.B.M. can be scaled per day, but, as consider-
able time is spent going from camp to camp and as a team is
allotted to the culler for his sole use during the season, the cost for
scaling works out at about 20 cents per M. The Quebec Rule is the
statute scale for the Province and is found to agree fairly well with
the mill cut.

As already explained. the jobber’s contract with Gilmour & Hugh-
son called for the delivery of 41,000 logs in the Gatineau River. He
sub-let of the contract, retaining for his own operation the cutting
of 15,000 logs, equivalent, at 66 F.B.M. per log, to 990.000 F.B.M.

With a total cut of 990,000 F.B.M., the cost per F.B.M. for delivery
at the landing on the Pickanock River was $11.45. The jobber did

not intend to handle the drive himself; he had let a sub-contract, at
$1.00 per F.B.M. for the driving logs from the landing on the Pickan-
ock to the junction of that river and the Gatineau, a distance of 20

Cook camp and office on Gilmour & Hughson’s operations

miles. On the basis of the above figures, the cost of delivering the
logs in the Gatineau River would be $12.45 per F.B.M. Under his
contract the jobber was to be paid $13.00 per F.B.M., so that his profit
on the operation would be 55 cents per F.B.M. This however, does
not take into account any interest charges on the jobber’s investment.

Condition in Which the Forest is Left.

It is stated earlier in the report, that about ten per cent. of the
pine above merchantable size was left standing on account of rot.
These pine are capable of bearing seed, but generally speaking, owing
to their being very much scattered, and owing to the presence of
competing hardwoods, favored by site and prolific deeding qualities,
there is little hope of pine reproduction being established in sufficient
quantity to create a commercial stand. The opening up of the denser
stands in some parts of the bottoms may give rise to a new generation
of pine in competition with the spruce balsam and hardwoods on the
same acres, but the encroachment of the hardwoods on the pine bear-
ing lands is evidently assured.

From the standpoint of fire the slash can scarcely be considered
to constitute a menace. Over the greater part of the area, tops are
widely scattered and are separated by hardwoods and in many places
by a dense hardwood undergrowth. Lightning is about the only
source from which a fire might be started within the cut over area
itself, as it is isolated from railways and settlements, and offers little
or no inducement to campers.

A stream to be characterized as driveable must be one that will
float the logs made in the district tributary to it. The work done to
clear a stream for driving depends entirely on the topography, size
of stream and logs to be driven. Large boulders must be blasted out,
underbrush and fallen trees removed; in small streams relatively more
of this kind of work has to be done. In a great many of these streams
it is necessary to construct splash dams and slides, so that portions
of the tream too rocky or too hollow, may be negotiated with the

‘dimension spruce. ;

foot of a rapid, where the stream is narrow and provides a solic

Mr. Shirton has a large contract with telegraph and telephone
companies for the supplying of cross-arms, which are made from B. €. —

In regard to cross-arms for telegraph and telephone poles, Mr. —
Sh-rton says that his company uses B. €. fir almost exclusively. —
Roughly speaking, the size that they employ to the greatest extent is _
34 x 4% finish measurements, although they manufacture a small —
quantity of 3 x 4 and occasionally 334 x 4%. Sorte oT

The Wm. Shirton Co. ‘will furnish about 60,000 cross-arms this
season and state that this business for 1920 has not been in excess of
the normal output. - 7a

Continuing, Mr. Shirton says: We have been in the cross-arm
business for about fifteen years and are quite well established, although
it has been rather a slow process to build up a trade in this particular -
line. We do not hesitate to state that B. C. fir is, in our opinion, the
most suitable wood to use for the purpose, although long leaf Yel-
low Pine is a very close second. We believe, moreover, that all other ~
things being equal we should give our Canadian firms this business —
and are resolved to adhere to the former wood as long as it is pro-
curable at anywhere near the price of the American pr Norwa

pine, although light in weight as compared to Georgia pine, is ver y

often too knotty thereby intpairing the strength. Ot
wood compares quite favorably with both fir and Georgia pine.
and white pine can not be used to advantage for cross-

from an extended business trip throughout the Maritime provinces.

Conkey & Murphy, manufacturers of lumber, ties, etc., Latchford,

’ Ont., have dissolved partnership. M. T. Conkey has retired from the

business owing to ill health. A. J. Murphy will continue operations
on an active scale.

Former Controller Sam McBride, of Toronto, wholesale lumber-

~ man, who last year was a candidate for the Mayoralty of Toronto, has

announced his intention of again being an aspirant for that office and
has already started his campaign.

Toronto, are extending sympathy to’him in the loss of his wife who
passed away recently after a rather long illness. Besides her husband,
Mrs. MacBeth leaves three sons and two daughters to mourn her
death.

F. N. Waldie, of Toronto, president of the Victoria Harbor Lum-
ber Co., accompanied by his wife and daughter, will leave shortly for
Bermuda, where they will spend several months. Mr. Waldie has not

been in good health for some time and has been enjoined by his phy-

‘sicians to take a long rest. His numerous friends hope that the trip
will gré€atly benefit him and that he may return fully restored to
strength.

R. S. Whiting, for the past four years architecturai engineer in
charge of the Architectural and Building Code Service of the National
Lumber Manufacturers’ Association, Chicago, has severed his con-
nection with that organization, and will take a much needed vacation
before resuming active work. Mr. Whiting says that he has made no
definite future plans but will doubtless continue some activity in the
lumber industry in which he enjoys a wide acquaintance.

Wm. J. Cashin died recently in Stratford, Ont., after an illness
He was born in North Easthope and was promin-
ently connected with the lumber industry in Algoma. He also owned
-and operated a mine in Colorado and was for some years .n the real
estate business in Toronto. Mr. Cashin, who was 68 years of age,
was on several occasions nominated for federal parliamentary honors,
but, owing to his business associations, declined to seek political office.
A number of lumbermen are on deer hunting expedit-ons and
their friends expect on their return that they will be remembered

Edward Norton has opened an office at 39 Adelaide Street East,
Toronto, as sales agent for several British Columbia manufacturers
and is selling direct to the trade. He has had twenty-five years prac-
tical experience in all branches of the timber and lumber business in
Oregon, Washington and British Columbia, and is thoroughly con-
versant with every operation from the logging end to the marketing
of the finished product. Mr. Norton started with the North Pacific
Lumber Co., at Portland, Oregon, in 1895, He was later with the
Fraser Mills in British Columbia for several years and, for some time
was buyer for wholesalers. Then he broke into the lumber game for
himself as a manufacturer. During the war he was on the Inspection
Board in connection with shipbuilding materials and the purchase of
spruce and recently had charge of one of the mills of the Dominion
Lumber Sales Co. Mr. Norton handles all lines of Pacific Coast
stocks,

C. W. Wilkinson of the Union Lumber Co., Toronto, and Mrs.
Wilkinson, who have been spending the past two months on a visit to
England and France, returned home recently. The trip was largely
one of pleasure and they visited several historic scenes on the battle-
front. Mr. Wilkinson was in England at the time of the great coai
strike, and says that labor in the Old Country is very unsettled and
frequent disturbances have resulted in decreasing business in the
lumber and timber line. Importers and timber merchants are, of
course, doing some trade, but the. volume is not as large as it was
expected that it would be when so many housing propositions were
got under way, and considering the great need for dwellings in all
populous centres. Nota great deal of structural work has been under-
taken so far this year, but it is hoped, that much more satisfactory
progress will be made during 1921, for the situation is urgent. Mr.
Wilkinson is accompanied to Canada by F. H. Huntington, of Liver-
pool, managing director of the Canadian Lumber Co. and also identi-
fied with the firm of Wm. H. Huntington & Sons. He will spend
some weeks in Canada on business. Mr. Huntington was a member
of the British Advisory Board at the time of the government control
and regulation of timber operations and purchases during the war
and rendered valuable service.

Southern Lumbermen Make Cut in Wages
At a meeting of the Georgia-Florida Sawmill Association, com-
prising the biggest operatives in the two states, held recently at
Tampa, Fla., it was decided that, beginning November 8, the wages
for common labor in the mills would be cut to $2.50 a day, and that
wages for other classes of workers would be cut proportionately.
This represents a reduction of approximately 25 per cent.
The operators gave out a statement to the effect that the lumber
market had fallen off to such an extent that it was a case either of
cutting wages or shutting down.

The happiest lumberman is the one who can see the sun when it
isn’t shining.

Getting in Money from “Slow Pays”

A series of effective collection letters is being employed with a
large measure of success by H. J. Baldwin & Son, Waverly, N.Y., in
the matter of getting settlement of small acounts. The firm have
been using the letters on patrons who are perfecty solvent but are
careless or indifferent in the matter of remittances. The communi-
cations are worded in a way not to give offence or arouse animosity
and at the same time are pointed and direct. They do not beat
around the bush and each one has a personal heading. Copies of
the series follow and will be found interesting and helpful in stirring
up some customers who have become delinquent.

Housing in Belgium and Britain

An intensive campaign for the construction of cheap homes has
begun in Belgium by the National Organization for the Construc-
tion of Cheap Homes, which has a capital of 100,000,000 francs, or
$20,000,000 (normal exchange), according to the Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce. In Antwerp, 125 of these habitations have
just been completed and this is merely a beginning. The city is ar-
ranging to procure the necessary space for-the erection of 1000 other
houses. Abaut 80 local organizations are already in process of for-
mation for this same purpose.

According to a cable just received by the Chicago Daily News,

London is embarking on a fresh campaign to raise about $150,000-
000 for new: houses. The London county council proposes to pro-
vide 29,000 dwellings to accommodate 145,000 persons. It is expect-
ed that 5,000 houses will be completed or nearly so within six months
and that the whole number will be ready for occupancy within five
years. ; .
Not only London but municipalities throughout Great Britain
are selling housing bonds. In the whole country 40,000 buildings are
said to be in course of construction with a promise of 500,000 to come.
In addition, private builders are now constructing 20,000 houses.
Great Britain’s half million houses will cost nearly the equivalent of
two billion dollars. The demand for homes is, enormous. It is said
that 125,000 London ex-soldiers who served overseas are deferring
marriage because they cannot be sure of getting even a single room,
and 63,000 former service men in London with families of from two
to eight children are herded into two rooms per family.-

Agitation for Export of Quebec Wood
“Tt is certainly entirely within the rights of the Government to

be acted upon until it was determined whether Newfoundland owned
the land in question, representatives of this colony were sent to Lon- :
don late in the summer to discuss with eminent English counsel
the preparation of a formal draft of Newfoundland’s Labrador claims |
as opposed to those of Canada.

The coast of Labrador was annexed to Newfoundland in 1763.
Then years later, owing to difficulties arising out of grants made to a
number of persons under the French rule, it was changed to Canadian —
jurisdiction. In 1809 it was again transferred to Newfoundland and —
has since been attached to this colony. s

The difficulty arises over different interpretations of the words |}

“coast of Labrador.” One view is that Newfoundland can claim only
the coast between Blanc Sablon and Cape Chidley, with perhaps half +
a mile inland, and that the rest of Labrador belongs to Canada») Ais eal
defined in the letters patent constituting the office of Governor of :
Newfoundland, the boundary was destribed as a line drawn between ~ |
Blane Sablon and Cape Chidley, which would pass through the ocean
in certain sections and leave large areas of the coast to the westward
of the line and therefore not under Newfoundland jurisdiction. mee

Many Newfoundland officials hold to the view that the correct ~~
delimitation was made in a sessional paper issued in this. colony in
1864, Under the phraseology of this document Newfoundland would
be entitled to thousands of square miles of the interior of the Labra- “aE
dor peninsula in addition to the coast.

Great Pulp Resources of Quebec j

Louis Piche, Provincial Forester, estimates that in Quebec there |

are 360,000,000 cords of all pulpwoods. Of this amount, there are |
155,000,000 cords of available spruce and balsam which, at the present
rate of cutting, namely, 3,000,000 cords per year, would give about 52. |
years’ supply. It is estimated that there are,’ in Ontario, 250,000,000 .
cords of spruce and balsam. Of this it is estimated that at an early |
date the cut will be 1,500,000 cords, which indicates 67 years’ supply. me |
New Brunswick, with 36,000,000 cords of spruce’and balsam, and an, ul:
annual cut of AA 0000 cords, has sufficient for a twenty-nine years’ |

British Interests Buy Bronson Limits

The timber limits of the Bronson Estate at Chelsea on the Guitkes
neau River, have been purchased by British interests who are contem-—
plating the establishment of a large match and box industry in Canada.
The purchasers are said to be Maguire, Paterson & Palmer, Limited,
match manufacturers of Britain. The company has in view several _
locations in and around Montreal for the establishment of the new
plant, but nothing definite has yet been decided upon. rid

A Canadian subsidiary of Maguire, Paterson & Palmer, imate mee
is expected to be formed and an “office has already been opened in ‘
Montreal preparatory to this step. The price paid for the timber »|
limits is said to be in the vicinity of $1,000,000, and -it is thought —
probable that the new plant will represent the investment of ae je
million.

Cutting Shorter Length Logs in Pulpwood

In the virgin pulpwod forests of Ontario, a balsam tree 10 inches _ ‘el
in diameter at breast height is, on an average, 90 years old, with a
total volume of 14.6 cubic feet. White spruce of the same diameter ss
is 114 years old, with a total volume of 14.9 cubic feet. Black spruce
is 144 years old, and has volume of 14.7 cubic feet. Seedlings grown _ .
in a nursery, and transplanted in the open, will make a much better
growth than those in the virgin forest, but, even if they reach a

British Government Investigates
Possibilities of New Sources
of Fuel. '

While mothers are finding it
hard to get sugar enough to pre-
‘serve fruit and children must eat
less and less candy, scientific men
are talking of using sugar to pro-
duce fuel for the automobiles
which have taken the place of
horses in many countries. Instead
of making sugar from the juices
of the cane, the beet and many
other plants, alcohol for fuel will
be produced. The British Govern-

AN AN

ment, because of its many colo-
nies in the tropical zone where
much sugar is planted, has been
investigating this new source of
power.

So often has it been said that
the world’s available supply of
petroleum is rapidly decreasing,
that no longer is anyone alarmed
by a repetition of the warning.
Yet it lis highly probable that
within the next third of a cen-
tury, gasoline and derivatives of
petroleum will be so rare as to be
of comparatively little value to
the motor car industry.

On the other hand, if a motor
car fuel can be obtained from a
vegetable growth, it is evident
that the supply will be practically
inexhaustible, because each sea-
son nature will renew the source
of supply in the fields.

A committee of the British
Government, appointed to inves-
tigate the matter, reports that it
is of the opinion steps should be
taken to ensure increased produc-
tion of power alcohol by the ex-
tended use of vegetable matter
from which it may be obtained.

Some of the most’ important
materials of this nature are: sug-
ar-containing products such as
molasses, sugar beets and man-
gles; starch, such as maize and
other cereals; potatoes and cellu-
lose-containing products, such as
peat, sulphite wood pulp, lyes
and wood. In Hyderbad, India,
the sun-dried flowers of the ma-
hua tree contain, on the average,
60 per cent. of fermentible sugar.

This product, it is further stat-
ed, can be set down at the factory
in the vicinity of the plant’s place

of growth, at about $7.50 per ton.

The yield, under scientific treat-
ment, is about 90 gallons of alco-
hol to the ton.

Inasmuch as gas power is to-
day a tremendous force of indus-
try, driving, as it does, automo-
biles, trucks, tractors, farm ma-
chinery and airplanes, it is un-
thinkable that governments
should not take adequate steps in
time to meet the certain future
deficiency of petroleum products.

The fuel of the future is cer-
tain to be grown—not mined, as
at present,

Sawdust Cattle Food.

Surely the price of beef should
drop if the new sawdust cattle
food described by a food chemist
to his associates at Chicago comes
into vogue. A representative cf

Madison, Wisconsin, reported
that by the use of dilute sulphuric
acid which was afterwards neu-
tralized by lime, he was able to
make a very satisfactory proven-
der for the lowly kine out of the
waste of the buzzsaw. After the
lime and acid have been elimin-
ated there remains a soft bran-
like food containing about 15 per

Review of Corrente Trade Conditi on

‘Ontario and the East

Generally speaking, business in the lumber line is passing through
a quiet period and very few carloads are being disposed of. There is
a disposition on the part of retailers and also consumers to hang back
and await developments. On a falling or unstable market it is ‘rather
difficult to do business, at least until the members of the trade are
convinced that quotations have struck rock-bottom.

Prices are holding fairly firm in most lines and particularly so on

white pine, although there have been some rather sharp reductions in.

merchantable hemlock and spruce is off a few dollars.

The whole situation is one that presents considerable difficulty to
analyze, and no one can gauge the future with any degree of cer-
tainty. Many concerns are preparing to curtail operations, and this
particularly refers to hardwoods where, owing to the collapse of the
automobile industry, requisitions for stock are rather isolated. Many
exaggerated reports are flying around regarding the large stocks on
hand which some lumber firms have, the loss that they will have to
take owing to falling prices, the character of the prices, ete.

The bottom has not fallen out of the lumber business by any
means, and as soon as demand re-asserts itself, which will likely be
in the early spring, there is but little fear that prices will once more

soar. They may, of course, not reach the peak which they did last
season, but there is going to be a much-decreased cut in the Kast,

and even in Ontario production will be considerably less in certain
districts. Much will depend upon the attitude of labor, the cost of

. supplies and whether the scale of wages comes down. It is expected
by some operators that men will be much more plentiful around the
Biaiiaes holiday period and that wages, which are now abnormally
high in logging, as compared with similar jobs, will sag. At present
lumber prices, millmen contend that they cannot go ahead and produce
lumber and make any money. Rather than proceed on a no-prolit
basis, they will curtail the extent of their operations. Practically all
the mills in Ontario have closed down, and this will release a number
of men for the bush.

Much in regard to the wood products situation is at six’s and
seven’s at the present juncture, and the great question arising in the
trade is what will be the attitude of the public toward lumber prices
in the spring and will building proceed on a larger scale than ever or
will a period of comparative depression set in? There are signs and
counter-signs, some portending unusual development and_ others
pointing the way to extreme dullness. At this writing it is not pos-
sible to give any authoritative information on how matters will eventu-
ate. There is practically no demand for B. C. products. The mills
there are closing down, the American market having been practically
eliminated and the requisitions from the prairies being exceptionally
few. _ Lately a despatch was sent out from Washington, which reads
as follows: Recent increases of 35 to 40 per cent. in Canadian railway
freight rates had practically eliminated lumber shipments from British
Columbia to the United States, according to a report to the Depart-
ment of Commerce from Consul Wakefield at Prince Rupert. During
the past 12 months, the Consul said, British Columbia exported 20,-
000,000 feet of spruce and 60,000,000 shingles to the United States,
while the only lumber now being shipped was contracted for before
the rate advances. Spruce mills are closing down or curtailing oper-

ations, he added.

Writing to the “Canada Lumberman,” a leading firm in Boston
say that the mill owners down south, comprising the largest oper-
ators in Georgia and Florida, have reduced common labor at ‘the plants
-to $2.50 a day and that wages for other classes of workers will be cut
proportionately. This represents a decrease of, approximately, 25
per cent. Commenting upon the action of the Georgia-Florida con-
cerns and contrasting their stand with that of some organizations in
Canada, the company say:

“Tt seems to be the case still in Canada that they are paying
enormous wages in the woods and having’ hard work to get men.
Everywhere in the United States men are getting more plentiful and
wages are being reduced. As you know, Southern pine is now selling
so far below spruce and white pine as to be a serious menace to that
business. If the pulp industry doesn’t modify its ideas of wages in
the woods it will be serious for the Canadian lumbermen, we are
afraid. The lumber market is certainly going to be affected by the
market down here in Boston, and this boom in pulp and paper cannot
‘Jast forever. In fact, we have heard there was a rather serious amount
of countermanding of orders in this neighborhood lately. It has
been predicted, by some that the paper wae pulp Reine had already

‘anticipated in the way of immediate results from the outcome of the
_ late campaign. It would be a serious mistake to have a very general
revival in trade and an inauguration of an era of prosperity before the
liquidating and equalizing process has been completed, says one lum-
ber paper. Today many staple lines of industry have reduced their
prices below the cost of production. The other lines, because of favor-
able conditions or by manipulation, maintained the price of the com-
modities they manufacture or distribute at high peak prices.

P

we The road to prosperity must first be levelled down and the
bumps and obstructions which still exist, in the way of robber prices,
must be removed.

a A very concrete illustration of this fact can be found in the build-
ing trade. Forest products have been reduced all the way from 40 to
ks 100 per cent. The material sold by a retail lumberman constitutes

the

only about one-third of the total cost of a modern home. Those who
manufacture and distribute bathroom, plumbing, heating and other
essential fixtures are asking today approximately the same prices
they did last February or March. Skilled and unskilled laborers have
~ not volunteered to work for less wages or longer hours for the same
_'pay. In some instances there has been a marked improvement in
_ their efficiency. The home builder finds that, while the lumbermen
would give him very substantial concessions, others from whom he
must purchase material or labor are still on the old basis, and accord-
ingly the total reduction from the high peak prices amounts to only
10 or 15 per cent.

. The benefits to be derived from the new administration will un-
doubtedly have to be spread over a long period of time. One of the
biggest problems which must be solved is finances. Credit and confi-

_ dence is a big factor in the business world. During periods of abnor-

until after the beginning of the new year, though a few expressed
‘optimistic views that the values of some of the white pine grades
- would go higher before the new season’s sawmill cut came in.

The presidential elections in the United States and the season

were plentiful. Rail transportation facilities wefe good. Orders
were not as plentiful as they had been, and inquiries showed a tendency
to drop away. What business was done chiefly centered around the
pine and spruce grades. Lath and shingle showed a little or no
movement. The call for the domestic trade was chiefly for the middle
or lower grades and was largely used for repair or alteration work.

From the woods end came reports that there was being exhibited
a greater energy on the part of the woodsmen to go into the woods,
but from other quarters it was stated that the effort on behalf of the
workers may have come too late to ensure all of them getting the
expected employment, owing to some of the companies some weeks
ago having to cut down the number of their woods camps, in view of
' the impending and actual shortage of labor existing at that time.

- On the other hand, some reports indicated that some of the com-
panies with camps already manned and ready for operation in the dif-
ferent pine belts were closing them up with a view of lessening pro-
duction so that the pine market would not be overstocked next spring,
Little credence was placed in this view by the bigger lumber

interests in the United Kingdom, and this curtails rae of the
St. Lawrence from the port of Quebec by two months at least.

The Manchester Line steamers “Manchester Division” and “Man-
chester Brigade,’ and. the Canadian Government Merchant Marine
steamer “Canadian Raider,” were the last ocean vessels to sail from
: Quebec with lumber and deals. The two former took on board half

cargoes and the latter-named a deck-load of deals. The stability of
the “freight rates this fall was a disappointment to the Quebec shippers,
as they “expected an appreciable decrease and which, to a large extent,
was responsible for the absence of heavier shipments in comparison
to previous years. But the essential feature to be considered is the
falling off in demand by the United Kingdom markets, and Quebec
ty shippers spoken to realize that the demand for next year from the
United Kingdom for Canadian wood will be very conservative.

One of the factors to account for these conditions is the distribu-
tion by sale of the vast quantity of lumber purchased in Canada during
the war by the Imperial Government, now being sold in England,
and the quantity that still remains in New Brunswick to be shipped.
Another factor that interferes with buying in the Canadian market is
the rate of exchange. The British purchaser has grown impatient
over the prolonged depreciation of the pound Sterling, and quite a

~. number have declared that they will make no further purchases than
absolutely needed until the rate of exchange considerably improves.
In the meant:me, the Quebec timber and lumber manufacturers have
- under serious consideration the imitation of the trade in other Cana-
* dian provinces to curtail their production during the coming winter.
' Some even go to the length of saying that they will close down their
mills altogether, while others declare they will cut down their produc-
} tion by fifty per cent. The primary reasons given are, in the first
place, their yards are all well stocked from last year’s production,
and secondly, on account of the demand of jobbers and labor for in-
re creases for their services.

% < The scarcity of labor is a problem these days caused by the rush

of labor into the woods for the cutting of pulpwood for firms who are

offering higher wages. Shippers, discussing the situation with the
“Canada Lumberman’s” correspondent, state that, while they do not
expect to see any appreciable change in the United Kingdom market
for some time to come, express the hope that, now, the United States
presidential election is over, business interests in that country and
its timber and lumber markets will revive and that the American
concerns will get down to serious business, that will lead to a reaction
in the building trade. This will create a demand for Canadian woods
that will ameliorate the present dormant conditions of the United
Kingdom as regards its wood markets.

. The pulpwood trade of the district of Quebec recently received a
jolt that came unexpectedly and has been responsible for a decrease in
the price of pulpwood. The purchasing power of the American pulp
and paper interests having come to the conclusion that they were
paying too much money for the pulpwood they were receiving from
Canada, quickly began to increase their supply and stock their. yards,
and when this was accomplished, notified the Quebec shippers that
they required no more pulpwood at the prices they were called upon
_ to pay. They gave out that their supply was sufficient to carry on for
the present, and would not purchase any more pulpwood this winter
unless the figure was considerably reduced. Some of the Quebec
dealers, supported by. the banks, became alarmed and made a reduc-
tion in their rate per cord, while proprietors of this wood in the Baie
, de St. Paul district got cold feet and made a substantial cut in price.
The majority of the Quebec pulpwood dealers were not, however,
pleased by the unexpected change in the situation with the knowledge
that the American pulp and paper mills would sooner or later require
their wood. Some dealers, who keep themselves well informed as to
conditions and the stock of pulpwood in possession of their American
customers, say they saw the bluff coming and, at the same time, knew
that the American mills had not more wood in stock than would keep
them going longer than three months.

One Quebec pulpwood dealer and shipper to the United States
market expressed himself as follows: “There is undoubtedly a ten-
dency on the part of the mills in the United States to force the price
of pulpwood down, and market conditions for pulp and paper are not
quite as good as they were. But it must be remembered that pulp and
paper mills can still pay the present price for pulpwood, even if they
have to accept for the finished product a drop of 25 per cent. under the
prices that were prevailing a few months ago. It only requires a little
patience, and for the Quebec pulpwood shipper not to get nervous or
anxious in the present, and they will find that all will come back and
prices will remain.”

a contract with Lord Beav erbrook to supply the London Daily. Ex-

New Process of Kiln Divi’

Madison, The novel feature of the process consists in forcing

heated steam at high velocity first in one direction and then:
opposite through the pile of lumber in the kiln. This treatmen
the lumber very uniformly and rapidly with a minimum of eh

per thousand feet of lumber than ordinary kiln-drying process:
somewhat reduces the toughness of the lumber and cannot be. u
thicknesses of more than two inches. It is suited to Dougl:

Cutting Shorter Lengths in Pulpwood

(Continued from page 61)
total age 50 years for balsam, 74 years for white spruce, and 104 years
for black spruce. It is advisable, therefore, that, in all logging oper-
ations, the fullest utilization possible be made of every tree cut, and
that every precaution be taken to avoid injury to those left standing,
in order that they may produce a second crop in the shortest possible
time.

Where logs of only one length, 16 feet, are being cut for pulp-
wood, there is a loss, due to waste in stumps and tops, of 25 per cent.
of the total volume of the tree in balsam, 14 per cent. in white spruce
and 20 per cent. in black spruce. These figures are based on actual
measurements, where the stump height averages about 18 inches.
Where winter cutting is done, stumps cannot be cut’much below 18
inches, owing to the depth of the snow, but the waste in tops can be
reduced by cutting to smaller top diameters. This would necessitate
the cutting of different lengths of logs, say, 10, 12, 14 and 16 feet, the
increased cost of which would be more than offset by the greater pro-
duction per acre. A 3-inch top diameter makes a gain over the 4-inch
of one cord for every 223 trees, a gain over the 5-inch diameter of one

cord for every 89 trees, and over the 6-inch diameter of one cord for

every. 53 trees.

The short logs in water will not support a man’s weight, and
may, therefore, be harder to drive but on the other hand because
they dry out more quickly, float higher in the water than the long
lengths and are not so liable to form jams.

Cutting shorter log-lengths increases the number of cords which
may be cut per acre; it lengthens the cut of any given area; it gives
the unmerchantable trees that much more time in which to grow to
a size sufficient to enable the area to be cut a second time, and it
decreases the fire hazard through the fuller utilization of the tops.

Thinks Pulp Situation Will Ease Up
Angus McLean, vice-president and general manager of Bathurst
Lumber Company, Limited, Bathurst, N.B., pulp and lumber pro-

market. England will get her paper and pulp from the Scandinavian

-countries in greater quantities than heretofore, he said.

“While abroad I discussed the paper situation with Lord Beaver-
brook and it is his opinion that pulp will ease up,” said Mr. McLean.

Lord Beaverbrook did not carry out his intention of buying a paper

mill in Canada because of “extreme prices asked for property,” accord-
ing to Mr. McLean.

Preserving the Forest Wealth of Ontario

The great importance of the proper management and conserva-

address delivered before the Rotary Club in Toronto recently by
Robson Black, of Ottawa, secretary of the Canadian Forestry Associ-

mineral resources and that the task of conservation was prin

£

one of state leadership. wy ae
“When we speak of forest conservation we refer not to a garde
of weeping willows, nor even a square mile of tall pines,” said Mr
Black, “but a procession of workmen in a wilderness of timber, ne
traffic for railways, a guaranteed supply of wood materials for all tim
to come and the annual tax bill of the Canadian citizen paid more |
erally from other sources. We have been accustomed to treat thi
forest as a way-station to agriculture. Fifty years ago this was a fa
innocent self-deception. Today, however, when the development ¢
timber lands holds out a more powerful magnet to new industric
new population and new towns than any other asset within our pré
vincial control, the notion that Ontario’s main bodies of timber a
growing on agricultural soils is holding back the public from i tel
gent support of any general scheme of forest management. <}
Canada as a whole, eight acres out of ten were fixed by Providence
a permanent tree farm. Stripped of timber they loom up as a No-mai
Land forever. a,
“We are accustomed to lay the blame for the denuding of fores
to the lumberman’s axe, but in all the years of Canada’s history #
axe has cleared not more than one hundred thousand square miles
ag§ against one million square miles on which the fire fiend has ha
free play.” ; a
Mr. Black described how the exhaustion of spruce areas in the
Eastern States and Lake Sfates had started an exodus of giganti
American mills across the Canadian border. The newspacenna ing
business of America required sufficient supplies for a daily outp ngs
forty million copies. One New York newspaper alone stripped fiftees
acres of dense Canadian forest for each Sunday edition. Any one ol
the large Toronto newspapers would devour at least 200 average-sized
trees in a single day’s run. The newspaper publishing business had no
intention of quitting its job as long as any part of the world could
feed it every twelvemonth with a pile of four-foot logs piled four i eet
high, and extending in length for 9,500 miles. ee ou
“The vast areas to the north of Ontario’s main belt of agrict
soil constitute a natural spruce farm capable, under proper manage-
ment, of retaining our present pulp and paper and lumber industries
for all time to come, and drawing scores of additional industries with
a great volume of new population,” said Mr. Black, who pictured
the great stretches of forest laid as “a one-hundred-million-acre plant,
ready-made, with no inheritance tax, manufacturing timber out of air,
water, sunshine, and a pinch of mineral salt—a factory requiring few.
human workmen, very little overhead, except fire insurance, free raw
materials, and the manufactured product—the tree trunk—all ‘velvet’
for the public owner. : : a. vee
“That is what a natural forest looks like in terms of everyday
business,” said the speaker, “and yet we have put the torch to two-
thirds of the entire plant, killed off the greater part of the white pine
factory; we have blocked the way to numerous new mills, and year
by year are raining blows upon the basic security of our pulp and paper
plants and their thousands of employees.” e » On

May Reforest Area in Every Township La

In an effort to encourage reforestation of waste lands in Ontaric

the Department of Agriculture of the Ontario Government is endeay-
oring to have a demonstration wood plot established in each town~

an area of land should not be less than five acres or more than ten
acres.” tee ie

which may ultimately accrue will go to the townshipl i yy Se | #

\; The Chief Cause of Forest Destruction

Under the head of the “Belching Smoke-Stack,” T. Kelly Dick-
inson, of the firm of Winans, Dickinson & Whitehead, Limited, Mont-
real, has written a timely and interesting article, which. has been
appearing in the press. He refers at length to the perpetuation of the
great natural resources of Canada, and respecting their conservation,
says, “We have heard much, learned little and cared less.”

Continuing, Mr. Dickinson remarks :—

_ An article which appeared in The Canada Lumberman and

' Woodworker, in February Jast, entitled, ““Wantonly Wasting Many
Growing Forests,” was most instructive and well worth the consider-
ation of all who are interested in the conservation of our forests.
In respect to European methods of Forestry, it is interesting to
note that the Premier of Quebec, immediately upon taking office, de-
clared his intention of sending some members of the Provincial For-
estry Department to Scandinavia to study forestry as practised in that
country. Nature in a great healer. It is estimated that in the
course of the past 200 years fully 80 per cent, of the timber resources
of the forest areas of Canada has been destroyed by fire—and Canada
today is the White Man’s Hope for uninterrupted delivery of the
daily newspaper, with one billion cords of coniferous pulpwood species
standing erect awaiting the call of the pulp consumers.

Fire Protection in deed and not in need; a comprehensive aid-to-
nature plan to enable the trees to propagate their species, in addition
to seed planting on parts of cut-over lands, offer the only solution
that is practicable, economical and certain of definite and profitable
results.

Destruction by fire is the root of the evil of forest depletion.
Fire will wipe out in one short week more fine timber than the whole
producing machinery of the Dominion could cut down in the course

, of a ten-year period. That being a fact, is it not the imperative and
immediate duty of the provincial governments to take every conceiv-
able precaution? Much advancement has, no doubt, been made in fire
protection, but, curiously enough, the Federal Government’s own

_ steam locomotives and the provincial government-urged colonists are

' the greatest source of danger to our forest areas. Locomotives are
allowed to belch live coal into inflammable material in the northern
parts of Quebec and Ontario, and the would-be farm settler buys
‘the best of timber land, at 50c per acre, cuts the timber, sells and ships
‘it to United States mills, and jumps the claim. In the process of
masquerading as a potential farmer, this gentleman only too often
cleans up the debris from his lumbering operations by means of more
or less regulated bonfires.

Thus we have the two chief causes of forest destruction located,
but not cornered, as the effect has still a wide range of freedom for

_ dangerous work.

If there is danger from live coal, let us get rid of live coal. Elec-
tricity in this province is cheap enough, in all conscience. The capital
expenditure for electric or for oil-burning locomotives would be saved

_ in one twelve-month period. Electric storage locomotives with the

' mecessary generating stations, as used by the New York Central,
surely could be installed on those parts of the railway systems which

‘run through the richest of our forest areas.

Let us put the lid on the belching smoke-stack, and if timber
areas are the only lands in this province available for the so-called
colonist, the colonist should be urged to go elsewhere to farm, without
the preliminary back-aching process of stump extraction.

Pembroke Lumber Company Changes Hands

As announced in the last issue of the “Canada Lumberman,” the
British, interests, which own the large match manufacturing business
of Maguire, Paterson & Palmer, Limited, have recently decided to
extend their operations to the Dominion of Canada, and have pro-
cured the incorporation of a company under the name of “Maguire,
Paterson & Palmer, (Canada) Limited,” having their head office in
Montreal, and an authorized capital of five million dollars ($5,000,-
000.00.) The company have acquired all the properties previously

_ belonging to the Pembroke Lumber Company, who hold upwards of

800 square miles of timber lands, with mill properties located at Pem-
broke. A large splint manufacturing business will be established at
an early date in Pembroke, The Canadian company have now under
consideration the location of a match factory.

The lumbering operations presently carried on by the Pembroke
Lumber Company will be continued by the new interests under the
name of Pembroke Lumber Company, Limited, with which company

_ Mr. E. A. Dunlop has become associated in the capacity of president.

: It is intended that other developments will be undertaken in

_ Pembroke by the newly organized companies as the development of
_ their businesses require.

Speaking of the recent transfer a Pembroke paper says :—

The old shareholders, besides Mr. Dunlop, were Dr. J. D. Deacon
and Messrs. C. Chapman, L. M. Chapman, John Bromley, Mrs. (Hon.)

_ Peter White, Senator G. V. White, and the Estate of A. T. White.
The mill limits and plant were purchased from the late W! R. Thistle

in 1880. The business was originally established by the late J
Rowan about sixty years ago. New limits have been acquired
time to time and the company now controls much valuable standin
timber. Camp operations will proceed as usual this season, with
practically the same organization directing affairs as under the old
order. In fact, so far as the general public is concerned the busines
will go on’ just as formerly. “om
As to new industrial developments, the erection of a splint factory
is assured immediately. In this plant match splints (meaning matche
without dipping) will be manufactured, and it is hoped to have thi
in operation by the middle of January. In all some 75 acres of lam
are involved in the purchase from the Pembroke Lumber Co., inclu
ing the old Mackie flat between the river and the C. P. R. track, cor
prising about thirty acres, and on this the factory will be built. Tt!
proposed to move the large wooden building from the Iron Wor
property and set it down on a concrete foundation on the new sit
and work. on this will be started at once, the contract having bee
awarded to Fraser, Brace & Co., of Montreal. It is intended to get
two sections (about 450 feet) moved this fall, and machinery installe
to commence work in January with between 300 and 400 hands. 5

of the machinery has already been shipped from England. Next
spring the factory will be extended, the ultimate plans being for a
building 900 x 140 feet. A large gang of men will be needed at once
for moving and building operations. ",

It is planned to erect next season a shook mill for the manufac-
ture of knocked-down boxes for the company’s own use, while other
plants are also in prospect, though as yet nothing definite in regard
to these has been given out. A match factory will be built in Cana
and it is hoped that this plant will be located in Pembroke. In
we have the assurance of Mr. D. P. Maguire that other ente:
will be proceeded with in Pembroke by the newly-organized
panies as the development of their businesses warrants, and °
nothing official has been given out there is every reason to hope that
within the next few years the new concern will have a pay-roll of sey-
eral thousand hands. bare

Costs High and Production Will Lessen

Vancouver representatives recently returned from an impor
conference of coast and mountain lumbermen held at the Palliser
tel, Calgary. Messrs. J. McMillan, F. A. Plant of the Vancouver Lu
Co. and R. H. H. Alexander, secretary of the British Columbia ]
ber and Shingle Manufacturers’ Association were among those f
sent from the coast. a

It was the general feeling that prices were going to be lower
According to one of the Vancouver lumbermen, ever since last Ji
the demand for lumber has been slackening and demand was ligh
at the time of the recent freight increase. The effect of the increas
had been a temporary check on buying. os

The majority of the mountain mills were closed now, and other:
would soon close for the same reason. Production was, it was st
considerably under what was originally anticipated for the year
demand was below what was normal for the past five years. O
to the high cost, labor prices being still at a high level, and in
face of no demand, it was impossible for them to continue operating
and piling up stocks not knowing when or at what price they coul
dispose of them. oo

blend? We have a way of blending several kind of
syrups and molasses into one, giving the right taste.

You probably know that Blended Tea has a better

tastes alike and not all Blended Molasses would ap-

Never before has man power been so badly needed—never before has time saving meant as much
in the way of labor saving.

ates Type G-2 Ripping Saw

is one of the best tools made to conserve man power. Its solid construction, excellent design, and
freedom from mechanical troubles make it a favorite wherever used. Dozens of them are installed all
over the United States and Canada. The increase in sales of this machine is proof of its popularity.

offered for durability and
satisfactory operation.

>FLINT-RIM<
SPROCKET
WHEELS

FOR DURABILITY

The reason for this great suc-
cess is that the> FLINT.RIM <
wheels have smooth, hard bear-
ing surfaces for contact with the
links, and are carefully fitted
for the chains, thus giving an
ideal condition to start with, and
maintaining it so persistently
that both the wheels and chain
are practically insured against
undue wear.

The life of the chainis prolonged because
the wheels do not rapidly wear away from

the proper pitch diameter.

The material increase in the
efficient life of the installation,
eliminates the expense of fre-
quent renewals, and greatlyire-
duces the ultimate cost.

A Good Belt Saves Money

HE money wasted in keeping a stretching belt taut amounts to a
surprising figure. 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 skilltully 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 ‘‘ Extra,” ‘‘Standard” or ‘‘ Acme Waterproof”’ belts.

tegrates under the constant dragging
over sharp objects, particularly in out-

Goodyear has overcome this with a

life—at a correspondingly low cost. The
pood inner tube and strong fabric are
in keeping with this superior cover.

study of modern conditions in industrial —

Ra Sdence is the Basis of Trade

The reason we enjoy the confidence of ‘our
customers is because we ship what we sell and we
do everything in our power to make every ship-
ment entirely satisfactory and fully-up to your
expectations.

BUT—we are not infallible.

Now this is where the confidence comes in.—
You know when you place an order with us that
we are going to ship you properly graded and well
manutactured lumber, and if through, say an error

in judgment on the part of one of our inspectors a

small percentage of a lower grade gets in, we are
just as anxious to know about it as you are, and

adjust to your entire satisfaction; also see that the

same mistake does not happen a second time.

CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER ~~

Gregertsen Brothers Ltd.

Suite 1560-61 McCormick Bldg. Chicago, Illinois
Phone: Harrison 8610-8611
Cairo, Ill.

Yards:

Mr. Lumberman: Don’t you think that it is now time to buy some
lumber? On account of lack of buying, mills are shutting down
everywhere and there is no question in any one’s mind but that
the consequence will be a shortage of lumber and sky-rocketing
of prices next year. Most of the woods are down to producing

cost and now is the time for all good merchants to put in their .
stock.

The Chicago Tribune quotes:

Senator William M. Calder, Chairman of the Senate Committee on
reconstruction, during a meeting of the committee here in Chicago, as
making the following statement:

“Labor will not go to its pre-war level, prices for materials will not
be much reduced and transportation charges will remain higher than
before the war. With these facts established, build:ng costs cannot be
expected to reach a much lower level than the present for some time.
There will be some reduction, of course, but it will not bring the price
down to the pre-war figure.”

Cypress is a high grade and stable wood and it does not de-
preciate in your yard—it is worth the money.

30 CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER December 1, 1920 *

THE LEWIS ano CLARKE EXPEDITION &é oA
took cognizance of WESTERN HEMLOCK. The first description of the tree 4
was published in 1814 in the journal of this epoch-making expedition, which Ra

passed the winter of 1805 near the mouth of the Columbia River. These ex-
plorers spoke of WESTERN HEMLOCK as a tree, “ four to six feet in x |

diameter, straight, round, and regularly tapering.”

A very good description of the looks of the tree as it stands in the forest.
Modern seekers after “inward truths” find that BRITISH COLUMBIA
Western Hemlock is one of the world’s richest commercial possibilities.
Some lumber dealers have neglected to utilize its vast possibilities because
of a lack of information regarding its merits or because of confusion of it
with other species not to be compared with BRITISH COLUMBIA West-
ern Hemlock.

The day has arrived when lumber dealers and users cannot fail to see in
this superior product an opportunity to erect better and_ more beautiful
buildings. Government tests prove beyond a doubt that Western Hemlock
is as strong as any structural timber and stronger
than most of them; it absorbs preservatives when
required for strenuous duty, in a manner that in-
sures long life of the wood; and for fine interior
finishes it is unsurpassed.

If you have never handled BRITISH COLUMBIA
Western Hemlock, it is time that you did some
“discovering” on your own account for your own
good.

We'll be glad to send you BRITISH COLUMBIA
Western Hemlock in mixed carloads along with
our other BIG CHIEF Brand Specialties, British
Columbia Red Cedar Shingles; and Cedar and Fir
lumber in all sizes known to high-class manufac-
ture.

We manufacture our lumber for the mutual benefit of ourselves and those who purchase it from us.

: _We desire to see all of our customers prosperous. This is neither exclusive selfishness, nor unadul-
_ erated altruism. It arises from our belief that in the course of proper dealings. between buyer and seller,
neither is enriched at the expense of the other, nor is one necessarily impoverished if the other is enriched.

Our belief is that our dealings should result equally to the benefit and profit of our customers and our-
selves, at the same time.

We make this thought vital in our business, by inculcating into our Sales Department, and into
the mind of every salesman, a thorough comprehension of our policy: founded on the Principle of Ser-
_ vice. We say to them:

Co-operation, not competition, finds its place in this policy. Do not deal with our patrons in the

spirit of competition for this leads you to seek to get the most for the least. Serve them in a spirit of

co-operation, by seeking to ascertain their needs, and then endeavor to render the most perfect, satisfy-
ing service possible in filling the need.

We believe that in final analysis we prosper, only as those we serve prosper.

| Our interest and that of our patrons are so similar and so intimately united and inter-related that
nothing can be ultimately helpful to us which is not also beneficial to them.

Canada Too Kind in ‘‘ Business Tips’”’

While much is heard regarding the splendid resources, beautiful

- scenery, fertile land and magnificent future of Canada, and the hospi-
tality, loyalty and devotion of Canadians have been referred to in
glowing terms, all these count for naught unless a new national spirit,
foitler conception and more aggressiveness are awakened in the ranks
of the people. It is all very well to be kind and thoughtful of others

and to render a good turn wherever possible but when it comes to
impairing one’s own interest and storing up future trouble; if not loss,

the whole matter assumes a different aspect.

Canada possesses all that has been attributed to it and more,
"but its people need a new vision—one that they should seek by every
legitimate means to realize. Self-adulation, artistic word pictures
and fine-spun theories accomplish little. Without loyalty and public
spirit, without pride in one’s surroundings and thorough appreciation
of what is best at home, no hamlet, community or nation ever at-

tained a permanent place in domestic, national or world affairs.
The residents of the Dominion need more cohesion, more resolu-
tion, more esteem of themselves and more independence. While
one does not believe in bluster and egotism they are preferable to in-
activity and complacency. A stirring note along this line was lately
sounded by F. C. T. O’Hara, of Ottawa, Deputy Minister of Trade
and Commerce for Canada. In his annual report he points out many
weaknesses of our present commercial system, our leniency and even
generosity toward our neighbors, and tells Canadians in plain, every-
\ day language to “get busy and do things.” ‘We have the men, we

routes, and there is no reason why business, which is legitimately ours,
should be handed over to the United States or any other country,” he

Pe declares.

‘ Mr, O’Hara believes in building up Canada’s foreign trade through
Canadian channels and not through those of a foreign power, nor
should dependence be placed by Canadian firms upon outside connec-
tions. He asserts that every possible effort should be made to “ship
Canadian goods through Canadian channels from Canadian seaports
‘to foreign markets to which the goods are destined.” The great in-

crease of Canada’s merchant marine should go a long way toward

assisting in this object. Canadian export trade should be independent
of and assist in building up the seaports of the Dominion and direct

~~ overseas connections.

. The employee or servant of any form, who is afraid to take re-
~ sponsibility and is always referring every question, big and little, to
the boss or the man higher up, the fellow who cannot come to a

decision of his own and adhere to it when he believes that he is right,

~ who has no initiative or cannot see the next duty ahead, never gets

ry ciple applies in connection with a people or a country. As long as
we depend upon foreign ships, foreign commission houses and export
firms, we will never expand into a country that will by virtue of its
power and prestige, command attention and admiration for aggres-

_ siveness, initiative and enterprise.

; No one: blames the other fellow for getting all the business that
he can or even building it up at the expense of the smaller chap. So
Jong as the Dominion is content to be “a hewer of wood and a drawer
of water” to firms on the other side of the line, and fails to appre-

ciate or develop its unrivalled resources, its own transportation facili-

ties, splendid harbors and merchant marine, it will become stunted
in growth and dwarfed in ideas and ideals.

All this and more is summed up in the ringing words of Mr.
Q’Hara, which should leave a deep impression in the minds of every
business-man and manufacturer and result in them getting a new

. grip on things..

: “Canada imports every day goods made under foreign ©
flags from Canadian raw material. The Canadian purchaser
pays the wages and the profits of the foreign manufacturer,
also the transportation costs of both raw material and finished
_ goods. In resources and variety of raw materials, in sites and
__ power for factories, in transportation and situation with re-
gard to the world’s markets, Canada is unrivalled.” <

LUMBER

Winnipeg and Toronto despatches published in coast daily papers
as to the situation created for the lumber trade through the recent
freight rate advances, are to a considerable extent misleading and
incorrect, says the Vancouver representative of the “Canada Lumber-
man.” For one thing,'to say that the increased freight rates have
“practically shut the British Columbia lumber mills out of the eastern
_ market,” which the Toronto “World” is quoted as saying recently, is
| quite too strong a comment—and not at all justified by the facts.
_ With the further comment attributed to the same paper, that ‘‘South-
_ ern pine was beating British Columbia fir in the Toronto market now,”
_ little if any exception can be taken. It might very well be accurate to
make that statement at the present season. For one thing the
_ Southern pine in many cases is not paying a total freight rate, even
_ taking account of the rate increase on American roads, very much
greater than the 35 per cent. advance Canadian roads have been given.
_ With that as a start, the old rate from the Coast to Toronto is quite
a help towards a profit for the Southern pine mills.
'___-‘There is another consideration, which is covered in the same item
_ from the Toronto papér, which says ‘‘The Toronto lumber market is in
| a very quiet state just now owing to the slowing up of the building
| trade.” As the same experience in accentuated form is general in
_ nearly every section of the United States, where Southern pine finds
8 market ordinarily, it is quite to be expected that the Southern mills
would be formidable bidders for any stray orders: being placed by
eastern Canadian dealers.. It almost amounts to a case where the
“dumping clauses of the Customs Act should be invoked on behalf of
. the Coast mills. | *
Wins fs ’ Reopening Depends on Market Revival.

van
- One Winnipeg despatch to a Vancouver paper undertakes to speak
for the Coast lumber manufacturers. It says: “British Columbia
-millmen say*that they will cut no logs this winter on account of low
_ prices and absence of demand in prairie yards.” [t would be far better
- to let the British Columbia lumbermen speak for themselves. Had
they been asked, undoubtedly the answer from both Coast and Moun-
tain manufacturers would have been somewhat different. They
_ would have agreed im saying that, because there was a sufficient stock
of both logs and lumber already cut to meet all present demands, it
was the general intention to close down operations in the woods and
- in the mills to a very large extent, and that re-opening would depend
on revival of the market. On the further assertion made in the same
__ despatch from “The lumber industry is unquestionably at a crisis just
now, Winnipeg dealers assert,” the same criticism would apply. The
_ Winnipeg dealers are not sufficiently well posted to tell whether there
is a crisis in the industry. They only represent the buying market in
the area in which they work. “Lumber lists have gone to pieces com-
pletely in this section,” is a further statement in the Winnipeg yarn,
nd it is offset in the next breath by the assertion that “Dealers want
avy stuff at a maximum of thirty-five dollars, but millmen say
at forty-five is the lowest they will cut for.’ That may make a
_ “crisis” for the Winnipeg dealers who ‘have not been able to get any
_ mill to give them lumber at their own price. But it is no indication of
any panic in the lumber industry. Far from it, the lumber industry,
so far as British Columbia is concerned, is on a strictly sound basis,
: even if for some months there has been no great activity in the market
and if prices have as a consequence gone. down to a point at which the
- manufacturers refuse to sell and prefer instead to pile it out in their
rards until the market gets back to an even keel.

ay _ Eastern Inquiries Are More Active.

‘n
So far as market is concerned, Coast organizations are finding
some interest in the eastern Canadian market, where inquiries are be-
coming more active, and a fair amount of orders, considering the sea-
yn have been secured. These are almost invariably for such specifi-
s can be secured nowhere else than in British Columbia, and
could never be competed for by the Southern pine producers.
‘may be said that for all such orders, fairly good prices have
paid. Such specifications have a recognized value and the people

ant the stock are well posted on that value and when they need
material are ready to pay the price. There is nothing very excep-
nal in the prairie market, which never is active at this season. The
eature to comment on is that the dull winter season follows an
y dull fall trade with the prairies. ;

Renewal of Activity

if You Wish Prompt Filling of Specifica- —

the first is that the prairie market is waiting till lumber hits the bottom
and prices are firm, whether at a higher basis than now or not, would

. not matter. Some there are, who say that the belief is held in certain x

quarters on the prairie that the bottom has not yet been struck. ‘Lhe !
answer to that is the firm attitude of coast and mounain mills in _
curtailing output and holding stock in their yard rather than bid for
business. Those who are in touch with the wheat market, of which _
Winnipeg is the western centre, think that one big factor is the stand
many grain-growers have taken on the present price of wheat and |
their decision to hold their grain till the price is better than it now -s.
It is a matter of common knowledge that both the wheat market and
the live stock market are lower than for some seasons past.
Then there is another somewhat different explanation of the slow
buying from the prairies, which has to do with liquidation. It is
stated that many who are selling their grain, are practically forced to _
do so, as banks, implement men and others want a clean-up which has_
been postponed from season to season in many cases. |

Order Now for Early Deliveries.

_ Another point of a financial nature is worth taking into consider-
ation in any study of market conditions in the west. The banks
assemble all available liquid capital and concentrate it for the purpose —
of handling the western wheat crop every fall. If that crop moves _
slowly—and it has from one cause and another—then it is longer |
before the money is freed and returned to other channels. Some
people, who have had the chance to observe matters on the prairies —
at close quarters, are pessimistic enough to think that lumber buying —
there will not be at all liberal until another crop is assured, which —
would postpone the revival of the prairie market until well into next
midsummer. However, the majority look to some activity right after
the new year, with acceleration as the season advances, and even
expect that with production reduced this winter, deliveries and ship-
ments will not be as rapid as buyers will want a few months hence.
The sound advice commonly given is “Order now,” if you wish prompt i
filling of specifications and early deliveries: ¥

With the mills of the Pacific Coast states shut down to a larger ©
extent than those in the Coast section of B. C., the manufacturers
here do not look for much businéss with U. S. points. The situation _
is vastly different from this time last year, when the lumber buyers
from a hundred different’ concerns in all parts of the eastern and _
middle-western states were scouring this province trying to buy up
all the lumber they could, and paying premium prices. If there were |
to be one such broker’s representative show his head, not a coast
mill in B. C. would miss the chance to join in the chase. He would
be swamped with offers of lumber, and he would have to pay no
premium.

General Shutting Down of Logging. i ut
Prices to-day obtainable are about forty per cent. less than the _
figures commonly secured last winter and spring, There is this dif-_
ference, that many mills will not accept the present price basis. ey
is a good indication of the curtailment of the mill output when the
logging industry has practically decided on a general shutdown. It me
is given as practically assured that there will be no camps operating,
by Christmas. Normal strength of logging camp employees on the
coast is placed at near 5,000. To-day there are nearly if not quite
3,000 of these men-now out of the woods, and the remainder will ou
gradually be reduced. Most camps will remain closed until February. 4 >
at least. Even those operations which have been carried on to cut: A
spruce for the pulp mills are closing, for the pulp companies now
have logs enough to run for six months and do not want to buy any (op
more. . ea.
It is somewhat difficult to give an accurate estimate of the curtail- a
ment of lumber mill activities. Possibly not more than 30 per cent.
of the coast mills have closed completely as yet. But many are only
running half to three-quarters capacity, and with hardly an excep- |
tion there is no night shift operating, There will be further curtail- I
ment right along, and if the export orders not yet completed were
cleaned up, the coast mills would be shut down almost as completely
as the mountain mills: In the Mountain district, the mills in most
cases only run during the summer season any way. But this year
they closed much earlier than usual. Most of them have fairly heavy —
yard stocks, and few of them plan big operations in the woods this
winter. Most of them, like the coast mills, can log.in the open season, —

Western Ontario Dealers Discuss Outlook

Trade is Adopting Conservative Attitude but Takes Hopeful View of Future—In- j
dications Point to Increased Demand and Active Building in Spring |

A hummer in every respect was the special meeting of the South-
western Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association, which was held

at Chatham recently and attended by thirty-five representative dealers .

from all over the district, the members coming from St. Thomas, Lon-
don, Windsor, Sarnia, Glencoe, Dresden, Ridgetown, Alvinston, Wal-
kerville, Leamington, Comber, Blenheim and other points.

In the last issue of the “Canada Lumberman” a summary was
given of what took place at the important conference, and it was an-
nounced that a more complete reference would be made to the delib-
erations. The points brought out in the discussion were timely and
helpful and will be read with interest.

It is the intention of the S. W. R. L. D. A. to meet more fre-
quently in the future, the suggestion being made that the members
should come together once every two months, and that a subsidiary
district might be organized by the London, St. Thomas and Aylmer
men, who could possibly gather, at least, once a month to discuss
purely local problems.

The Southwestern Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association
was the first body of its kind organized in the province some eight or
nine years ago, and embraces in its ranks practically all the retail
lumbermen of that portion of Ontario.

J. C. Scofield, of Windsor, said that any commodity being sold
to-day for less than it can be produced was not in his opinion a bad
buy. From what he could learn it would not be a gamble to pick up
such stock. In the opinion of a number of leading authorities across
the line, 1921 would be a banner building year and retailers should
not allow their stock to get so low as to be caught napping. Railway
companies were now buying freely supplies for new equipment, and
the recent advances in freight rates had enabled them to do it. “My
experience,” added Mr. Scofield, “is that when railway people start
purchasing it means good times ahead and when they cancel, why
look out!” Yellow pine was being offered at very low prices at pre-
sent and just now B. C. fir could not compete. The freight rate on
B.C. fir averaged from $26, to $31 while, on yellow pine, it was about
$16. With $25 logs, the cost of the freight and the expense of opera-
tion, B. C. manufacturers could not at present contend with the south-
ern product. Mr. Scofield said that, generally speaking, the large mills
were holding what stock they had in yellow pine and it was the small
mills which were making the special offers.

No One Overstocked in White Pine.

C. H. Belton, of Sarnia, stated that he had returned from a hunt-
ing trip near Sudbury and a Midland company were conducting a
very expensive operation there on a large scale, paying high wages,
and unless the firm realized a good price for the white pine which
they were taking out, they stood to take a severe loss. His opinion
was that no one was overstotked in white pine which had been holding
up well. He knew of one Ontario firm which had lately received.an
order for twenty carloads by cable from the Old Country and, while
this could hot be regarded as a large consignment, still it was looked
upon as an optimistic sign in regard to the trend of the market. Whole-
sale firms to-day were selling their lumber at a close margin. Mr.
Belton could not see where lumber was going to come down very much
if any in price. The lumber operators of Ontario were being closely
checked up by the Government of the province in their log scales.
which influence would be a factor in keeping up prices as they would
not get off with such lenient measurements as in the past. Mr. Bel-
ton added that he did not expect that lumber would get back to
where it was in price and was not apprehensive of future values.
White pine was holding its own and with a reasonable demand would
be scarce.

J. C. Wallace, of London, said that he did not think that jack
pine or B. C. fir would take the place of white pine for window frames
or door frames. There was a prejudice in London against the former
woods for outside work. There would be always a demand for white
pine for frames. Mr. Wallace referred to the growing costs of pro-
ducing lumber. Labor was inefficient and restless—much more so
than in the old days. The sources of supply were constantly being
further and further removed, the hauls and driving were harder, and
it was more difficult to get in supplies, all adding to the increased
cost of operation. The law of supply and demand would régulate
quotations in the future as in the past and as to the price of lumber
all would depend on demand for the coming season. From present

prospects there would be much building activity in London d arir
1921 and business should be good there for the retail lumberman.
People Beginning to Ask Questions. .
W. A. Hadley, of Chatham, said that the automobile busine
affected the lumber trade. The firms making motor vehicles yer

with lumber. * Furniture factories and phonograph plants were a

pine, in his opinion, could not hold up in price much longer if the ©
manufacturers could not get the sale. If other woods came dow:
so would white pine. He did not think from what he could lear
that the automobile business would improve much for the next s
months. Retail lumbermen would have to get down to a prope 1
of doing business. Many industrial concerns were closing down 0
reorganizing their plants and were hiring back their rg
money, which would bring down the cost of production. pit
food stuffs were tumbling, especially sugar. In his opinion, people
were not going to pay the prices that had been asked for pre
ducts and were beginning to ask questions. If prices in’
came down so much the better for the lumberman. hate ee

Retailer Gets the Blame and Abuse.

John B. Reid, of Toronto, president of the Ontario ‘Retail Lum-
bermen’s Association, was invited to speak on the general situati
which he did at considerable length. He said that in the matter of
lumber prices the customer got after the poor retailer and did not
get after the manufacturer or the wholesaler. It was the poor re-
tailer who got all the blame and abuse for high prices of -_pro-
ducts, made the least money and took the smallest fits. Mr.
Reid thought a plan might be worked out by the provincial govern-
ment of handling the timber as a state operation, engagi on to
do the logging and sawing at a fixed reasonable rate, and then haying —
the product distributed direct through the retailer, who would mar- —
ket it at a normal profit. This would shut out the wholesaler or
middleman who did not touch the stock and usually got the long end
of the deal. Such a project might look as if the millenium was at
hand and he had no doubt that some such reform could be worked’
out by the authorities. sl eae

Continuing, Mr. Reid advised the retail dealer to take a holiday
now and then and not always have his nose to the grindstone. He
would be further ahead in the long run by getting away from his

siness occasionally. His firm in Toronto had been the first to
* close up on Saturday afternoons and, at the end of five years, was
eared of when they kept going the full day on Saturday. All the
_ other Toronto yards had followed suit and would not revert to the
_ old plan under any consideration. All dealers were working to lower
their stocks. He did not think it advisable to hold anything out of
_ which they could get cost. Far better to dispose of what they had
_ in hand and replace at lower values and the difference represented a
_ profit—the figure at what stock could be sold for and what it could
_ be laid in again or replaced. Mr. Reid outlined the features of the
_ proposed uniform order blank and terms of sale which was being

des and was calculated to make a man take and keep the goods that

_he had ordered, its use would tend to eliminate law suits and

y, misunderstandings.

7 Operation of the Sales Tax

Touching upon the sales tax, Mr. Reid explained that on ma-

_ terial manufatcured in a retailer’s own plant the tax was two per

_ cent., and on all other goods there was no levy. The tax on the

_ manufactured commodity must be shown distinctly on the invoice.

_ On all sales made by a manufacturer to a wholesaler one per cent.

_ had to be collected. If sales were made by a lumber manufacturer

_ direct to a retailer, without passing through any other hands, the

_ levy was two per cent. on the transaction.

4 In regard to the statement some firms were not collecting

_ the tax on what they manufactured on their premises but were tell-
_ ing customers that they themselves were assuming the tax, this

was not legal. Such a course, if pursued, would doubtless lead the

_ offender into trouble, as it was contrary to law.

4 In regard to latest rulings on the sales tax Mr. Reid read the
_ following, recently sent out by the Department of Inland Revenue,
_ Ottawa: —
ae 1. Where a manufacturer of lumber sells to a whole-.
_, Ssaler or jobber the tax is 1 per cent. :

- 2. Where a manufacturer sells to a retailer, either in
the rough or dressed, the tax to be 2 per cent., but if to be
dressed or otherwise further processed by the retailer, 1 -

: per cent.

,. 3. Where a wholesaler sells to another wholesaler,
jobber or retailer the tax to be 1 per cent,

‘oe 4. Where a retailer operates machinery for the further
processing of lumber, excluding ripping, re-sawing and but-
ting which is not regarded as manufacturing, he is regarded

7 as a manufacturer to this extent and on the value of all such

4 worked material must pay a tax of 2 per cent. Only 1 per

4 _ cent, of this need be charged and shown on the invoice if the

: _ retailer so wishes, but he must turn over to the Government
2 per cent., thus absorbing the other 1 per cent. But where
a retailer sells any portion of his stock in exactly the same
condition as he received it, whether sold to a contractor or
-a consumer, there is no tax. :

5. Where a manufacturer sells direct to a railway com-
pany or a similar orgdnization, which buys lumber not for
the purpose of barter or sale but for his own use in con-

_____ struction purposes, the tax to be 2 per cent. ‘$3

eee 6. Where a wholesaler sells to a railway company, tax

to be 1 per cent.

. Note.—All invoices covering taxable sales must show.
at least 1 per cent., but any tax over 1 per cent. may be
absorbed by the seller and paid by him along with that col-
lected from his customer to the Government.

Have Confidence in the Other Fellow

_ W. A. Hadley gave a short but impressive talk on “How can
we improve the South Western Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers As-
' sociation?” First, he would emphasize they must have faith in the
_ other fellow. They must know how to figure costs and see that they
get a fair return on their investment and business. The man, who
_ was not doing this, was not’ honest with himself nor with his com-
etitors. In gatherings of the nature such as the one being held
en got to know one another, to recognize the benefits of co-oper-
on and unity of interests, and, with confidence in the other fellow,
od results were bound to follow. Mr. Hadley thought that meet-
should be held more frequently and, at least, once every two
ths there should be a general session. Local men should also
together in the different centres and consider their problems,
ch would often result in clearing away misunderstandings and
Picion. .

J. C. Scofield of Windsor spoke ably on “Millwork and Costs.”

some definite ideas from those present on the subject. He spoke of

reduction in wages that had taken place in factories across the bor-

der, particularly in the automobile line, where men were glad to
get their jobs back at a much lower wages. During the war men
had been very arbitrary in their demands and the question now
arose, with changed conditions, are we going to be as arbitrary
with our men as they were with us? Prices-on all commodities were
coming down and what were those who ran planing mills and fac- ~
tories in the wood products line going to do? There was keen
competition from the catalogue and mail order houses in doors,
sash, fromes, mouldings, etc., and how were these to be combatted?
Factory costs showed a great deal of discrepancy in every establish-
ment and the estimates of superintendents of plants varied greatly,

all the way from fifty to one hundred per cent. The labor question
and rate of wages was a live one and along with curtailment of pro- _
duction, shduld be discussed. a,

Will Combat Mail Order Concerns . “3

T. C. Warwick, of Blenheim, referred to the mail order houses
and instanced a case of' where material was ordered from one of
these firms, but had not been delivered. In the mail order concerns ©
money had to be sent before the supplies were shipped and there
was no telling when the customer would get delivery. Some com-
plained of one point and some ‘another, and Mr. Warwick remarked
that those in his district who had done business with such organiza-
tions were far from satisfied. He had recommended to one customer 4
who had to buy stuff from him (Warwick) owing to non delivery by
a mail order house that he (the customer) should stand the firm a |
suit over the matter. “I thought that it would be a good advertise- f
ment for me,” naively added Mr. Warwick amid laughter. ‘

Mr. Scofield said that one Hamilton mail order house had sent
out catalogues broadcast and, on his making ingiry, he. tound that
this firm-had no factory but got their supplies from whom they
could get to make them—from one place and another. He thought
they could overcome this proposition and easily show that they (the
retail lumbermen) could meet any figures such as those named in
the catalogues. No man, who had ordered a house from such con-
cerns, ever bought a second one. One experience was enough, ve

After some further discussion a committee of Messrs. Wallace, | *
Bogart, Scofield and Russell was appointed to arrange for meeting
such competition and report to the members of the association,

In regard to persons who hawk around a bill and ask for com- ‘a
petitive prices, W. A. Hadley, of Chatham, stated that when his
firm were requested to send quotations out of the district they quot-
ed, in every instance, their prices at Chatham plus the freight and
forwarded a copy to the retailer in the district, showing exactly what
they had done. This was sound trade ethics. m,

F. H. Laird, of Dresden, said that he never interfered with busi-
ness in the other fellows territory and merely looked after the work
in his own district.

In regard: to labor it was stated that the wages of rough labor
on the yards was on the average fifty cents an hotir in Windsor and
Walkerville. In Chatham the figure was somewhat less.

Getting Too Chummy with Wholesalers

“Can a retailer become too chummy with a wholesaler ?” was
the next topic taken up and was to have been dealt with by Col.
Green, of St. Thomas. As he was absent on a hunting trip, con-
sideration of the question was led off by D. J. McEachren of Alvin-
ston. He thought that it was possible for a retailer to get too in-
timate with a wholesaler and instanced a case when, in the west,
where he had been “stung.” The feeling existed that the whole- —
saler was getting too much to-day out of the retailer. The former —
bought his lumber in large blocks, often did not see it and never
handled it whereas the retailer purchased in small quantities and
took all summer to sell his stock and all winter to make the collec-
tions for it. ,

President Reid, of Toronto, told of the work of the retail associa-
tion of Ontario in seeing that wholesalers lived up to their contracts’ _
in the maiter of deliveries. He referred especially to the activity of
the Secretary in Toronto, who impartially investigated all reports.
The result wes that the wholesaler had to play fair and, if he did
not, the trade knew how to treat him and his representatives. Mr.
Reid stated that he had nothing against the wholesaler if he observed
the rule of the gam: openly and honestly. He thought that a retailer
should not-get too intimate with any one in business. All travelers
should be treated courteously and respectfully and as business men, —
but “cut out all the social stuff,’ admonished the speaker. “First
get chummy and right with yourself and never mind the wholesaler.”

Mr. Reid thought they should all give their sons a chance in
business and encourage young blood in the lumber line. There was
every reason why the boys of to-day should be afforded an opportun-
ity to make good, and they would do so. He strongly advised his
hearers to look closely after collections. In the past too much atten-

tion had been pa‘d ‘to the sales end and too little to getting in the
money. This condition of things should be reversed,

“Do not allow any one ti persuade you to buy something that
you do not want, even at any price.’ Lean on your bank as much
~ as possible and as little on the wholesaler as you can,” he observed

The speaker took up several other matters and referred to the good

work of the Trade Relations Committee and the disputes which ‘they
had settled by arbitrations, thus avoiding lawsu.ts. He thought that
certain fees should be allowed the members of the arbitration com-
mittee for their services and the time spent from their,offices and
- business. He intended to bring this matter up at the next annual
, meeting of the Ontar’o Association in Toronto. A resolution was
passed “endor sing the work of the Trade Relations Committee

uy “A stirring and thoughtful address was delivered recently before
~ the Canadian “Club, Montreal, by Ellwood Wilson, chief Forester for
the Laurentide Co., Grand Mere, Que., on the “Conservation of Cana-
dian Forests.” He emphasized the proper utilization of the vast
natural resources of the Dominion and said that public interest was
needed so that the great wooded areas might be safeguarded.
“ Mr. Wilson said he wanted it clearly understood that he was
nt in favor of closing up forest areas. In New York state a million
acres had been closed up so firmly that no one could even cut a
a stick there. The result was, trees were rotting.
i os The forests were more fundamental than agriculture, forestry
s ee really the mother of agriculture, and he reminded his audience
‘that our forefathers had been much interested in forests and spent
a! Eh enast of their time in them. Later, people had emerged from the
, perce’ and tilled the soil: W46od is being needed in greater quantities
than ever, despite steel and cement constructions, and since paper
Pia been made from wood the latter had become of still greater impor-
tance. Without paper there could be no civilization, and without
wood there could be no paper. There was talk of making paper out
of corn stalks and various other articles, but it could hardly be said
4 that such materials could replace wood for paper for they could not
be gathered in such handy packages as wood.
“We do not want the spirit of ‘Woodman spare that tree,’ to pre-
a vail, said Mr. Wilson. “Some trees are wanted for their beauty,
but the forest exists for the purpose of being cut. We want to cut
iver as fast as we can utilize them, providing however, that we see
to their replacement. ‘he forest is like a crop. The great difficulty
‘has been that we have not in Canada, or in the United States, treated
our forests as a crop, but as if they were mines from. which we could
help. ourselves, but the sad thing is that we thought those mines in-
_, exhaustible.”
ae Forest Resources Will Last Fifty Years

4 h

o* he

Mr. Wilson said that there was far from anything like an accurate
knowledge of the extent of Canadian forestry resources, surveys not
; having been made, and maps consequently ‘Jacking, but from what
+ was known approximately, as far as can be g gathered, it would appear
‘the resources would last for fifty years on the present basis of con-
ne sumption, but, he added, the increase in consumption has been at the
' rate of 10 per cent. per year, “and so we can see that it is high time
~something was done for perpetuating and replacing of this great na-
tural resource.’
It was known now that there is a northern limit to the growth of
. trees, and that limit had been approached very closely. Mr. Wilson
struck an optomistic note when he said that the aeroplane meant that
surveys would now be possble, one aeroplane doing more in that
direction in one day than four parties of ten men each could do in
- one month under the old system, and there is now no longer an excuse
for ignorance.
i All the governments, federal and provincial, are responsible for
obtaining proper figures. Unfortunately it happened that govern-
ments had’ been more concerned in Canada, though less than. in the
Hf - United States with getting revenue from forests than with doing the
Pe: work of protection aid surveys, as for ex xample. Quebec which ob-
a) tained a revenue of three millions a year from its forests spent only
$250,000 a year, just enough to cover adiministration, and a certain
amount of forestry protection against fires. This was not the fault of
~ the Government. - The fault was with the people, who. are responsible

added Mr. Wilson, that some sections of the Government system

Progressive Eastern Lumberman ‘

J. George Chalifour, of Quebec,
who deals extensively in whole-
sale lumber and pulpwoods, is
“to the manor born,” as our good
friend, Wm, Shakespeare, would
phrase it. He is the son of a
lumberman who spent all his life
in this line. After attending
school the Commercial Acade-
my in Quebec and latterly St.
Dunstan's College,
town, he went te work for his
father, O. Chalifour. Shortly af-
ter the son became identified
with the business. he thad the
misfortune to lose his father, and
the retail lumber enterprise has
since been conducted under the
name of O. Chalifour, Inc. The
subject of this reference worked
for the firm four years, after which
he started in business for himself
at the age of twenty-one. This
was four years ago. He was
about the youngest man to launch in the wholesale lumber line with-
out any outside help or association that the province of Quebec has
ever known.

Mr. Chalifour has built up a large connection in spruce, cedar
and birch, spruce timber, piling, spars, knees and shingles. He de-
_ votes his attention particularly to spruce and pine lumber and cedar
| shingles, although he disposes of quite a lot of Coast stock.

Z Mr. Chalifour also handles spruce pulpwood, which he ships
mostly to the United States. He owns limits in the district of Lake
Beauport, about twelve miles from Quebec city, where he has been

operating for the last three years. Apart from his own business, he

4 Lumber Retailers Assessed Too High

_ Writing the “Canada Lumberman” on the business assessment
act of Ontario regarding the levying of taxes for local municipal pur-
poses, a leading retail lumber dealer of Ontario says: The present
_ assessment act dealing with planing mills and lumber yards is that
_ your assessment for a planing mill is 60 per cent. of amount of assess-

_ ment on land and building and 50 per cent. oma retail lumber yard.

_ We understand that when this was framed the percentage busi-
ness assessment was a substitute for the tax on stock. As this applies
in all lines it results in an unfairness to the lumber dealers as lumber
| takes a lot of space to store and is at a higher rate than other lines ot
retail merchandise which carry a 35 per cent. rate.
| A jeweller, for instance, could carry twenty thousand dollars’
_ worth of stock in a room 10 x 12, where a planing mill would require
_ a large building and yardage space to accommodate stock of an equal
____ It is the hope of the writer that when the present provincial par-

liament amends the assessment act that the Ontario Retail Lumber
_ Dealers’ Association will present their case to the authorities for
consideration. © ‘ eo
~ Hon. H. C. Nixon, provincial secretary of Ontario, in discussing

e business assessment tax, has given some information along that
ne, which should prove of interest to those engaged in the lumber
yusiness. It is as follows :—

_ “The business assessment of a coal, wood or lumber dealer is 50
er cent. of the assessed value of the premises occupied by hifi but
1 cities of 100,000 the business assessment of coal dealers is only 30
der cent. of the assessed value. The business assessment of a whole-
merchant is 75 per cent., and of a manufacturer 60 per cent.”

Charged With Stealing Sunken Logs t;

Believing that the accused had not revealed criminal intent to *
steal wood from the E. B. Eddy Co., Magistrate Millar of Hull, Ques irs
suspended sentence in the case of Charles Gaudreau of Tetreauville.. ))
Gaudeau was accused by the company of haying stolen logs belonging |
to them, from “on or in the Ottawa River.” The accused had ,nearly
50 cords of wood piled on his premises and this was ordered seized.
' In giving his evidence, Mr. Gaudeau declared that he had dug up
the logs from the bottom of the river. He did not think he was _
committing a breach of the law in taking the sunken wood. Gaudeau’s
contention was that the wood being “water-logged” was of no value
to any company, and deemed he had the right to salvage it and take
it for his. personal use. na
However, the logs bore the brand of the E. B. Eddy Co., Ltd., |
and the court pointed that the law forbade taking such logs from
“in or on the river.” In view of the frank evidence of the accused =
and the apparent lack of criminal intent to steal, Magistrate Millar con- ~~
cluded that he would find the accused technically guilty, but would ~
suspend sentence.

Southern Hardwoods for Railway Ties !
Owing to the unprecedented levels to which prices of railroad

has decided to investigate the adaptability of the hard woods of Cen- |
tral and South Ameriea for this purpose.
along several lines, not only to ascertain how much more cheaply. ties,
or the material for ties, can be purchased in those countries, but also
to investigate the question of the longer life of ties made from the sey
Southern hard woods, as compared with those made frém the North
American native woods heretofore chiefly used. Under normal con- —
ditions the Pennsylvania Railroad system uses from five million to six hi
million cross-ties annually. White oak, the most desirable North
American wood for this purpose, is becoming rapidly scarcer. The
other available woods in Uncle Sam’s domain Have a short life as ties,
unless creosoted, which adds materially to their cost. The average
_net cost of railroad ties ready for placing in the roadbed has risen if.
is said in the United States fully 100 per cent. since the beginning of
the war. a

“On the Square” in Selling Shingles

By K. M. Brown, Toronto, Ontario.

With considerable inter-
est have I noted the dis-
cussion regarding the
“square” packing of red
cedar shingles, which ap-
seared in the October 15th
and Nov. Ist issties of
the “Canada Lumber-
man.” As a_representa~
tive of a large company
whose entire output of
cedar shingles is packed
by the square I have an
individual interest in try-
ing, to acquaint those who
constitute “the trade”
with the merits of the new
sales unit and the reasons
for its adoption.

The majority of dealers
will recall that there was
once a time when they
placed orders for red cedar
shingles without being

K. M. Brown, Toronto

’ certain of just what they were going to get. Each and every

mill had its own brands, its own grades and its own methods
of making shingles. Absolute lack of uniformity in the manu-
facture, grading and packing of shingles brought on a condi-
tion bordering on chaos. The dealer might order the same
grade as he had previously bought, yet there might be a
decided variance in the quality of the respective shipments.

About this time a group’ of shingle manufacturers possess-
ed of vision awoke to the realization that the troubles of their
business were occasioned by lack of intelligent organization.
The Rite-Grade Association was formed and the grades of
red cedar shingles were standardized. The trademark of this
association was installed as an inspection mark upon each
bundle of shingles. The association instituted a national ad-
vertising campaign which was of inestimable benefit to the
shingle producer and the retail dealer.

Gradually order replaced chaos. These men had replaced an
uncertain commodity with one that was dependable and their
guarantee of quality stood behind every bundle. They had
rendered a great service to the industry.

Known Quantity and Known Quality

In December of last year, this same Association, with a
membership considerably enlarged, decided to guarantee to
the trade the quantity as well as the quality of its products.
They did this because they believed that a known quantity
was just as desirable for the industry as was a known quality.

They therefore determined that, after April, 1920, all mills
using the Rite-Grade trade-mark must pack their products
by the square.’ Under this unit four bundles of shingles are
absolutely guaranteed to cover 100 square feet of surface
when laid 4% in. to the weather. Haphazard estimating and
guessing as to the covering capacity is eliminated. You figure
the surface to be covered in square feet. Why should not the
material with which it is to be covered be figured on the
same basis ? Is anything more logical ?

If the shingles are to be laid 5 in. to the weather you
merely deduct ten per cent. from the number of “squares”
required; if laid 4 in. to the weather, it is only necessary to
add ten per cent. to the number of “squares.” Could anything
be simpler for estimating purposes? The big point is that this
estimate is not just approximate, it is exact.

Incidentally this guarantee of quantity is a double guaran-
tee of quality, for if all the shingles contained in the “square”
were not up to grade they would not lay out the square. It
is not possible for any mill making “square-packed” shingles
to ship bundles which are short in count or shingles which are
below grade. The Rite-Grade Association guarantees the cov-
ering capacity of these shingles and the mills must make pro-
per restitution if their product does not lay out as represented
Is this not a strong argument in favor of the new unit from a
retail view-point ?

. a “square” when laid 5 in. the weather. They will onl}

All competitive roofings are marketed by the square and
it was thought desirable to place shingles in direct compari~
son with these substitute materials by selling on the same unit.
Thus the many explanations needed to clarify the relative dif- —
ference in covering capacity between “one thousand” shingles
and a “square” of roofing would be eliminated.

Prices Per Square Foot the Same
In some sections of Ontario we have met a peculiar condi-
tion in that three bundles of shingles, thousand packed, are __
being sold as a “square” if laid 5 in. to the weather. The
dealers say that the price to the trade on these three bunches Me
of thousand packing is lower than the price of four bunches
of “square packed” would be. So it is, but the difference in
price is exactly proportionate to the difference in covering
capacity. It can readily be shown” that four bunches of
“square packed” laid 5 in, to the weather will cover just ¢ ie :
ninth more surface than three bunches of thousand packed, —
and it can as easily be shown that the price of the “squ
packed” is just one-ninth more than that of the thousand pz
ing. Therefore, the prices per square foot of covering capa
are identical. Gi -,
Further, three bunches of thousand packed will not cove:

96 square feet, so the dealer must add a bundle or two to
number of so called “squares” required. Is not this mis nt
“square” a hit or miss unit which should be consigned to the |
scrap-heap in favor of a guaranteed square? Would this not
be in the interest of better merchandising ? “te a 5

convinced that it must also eventually increase your shir
sales. We went to a considerable expense in changing
packing equipment to suit the new unit, solely because we
believed then, as now, that our sales would eventually ;
in direct proportion to the increase in retail sales. The added
turnover would more than justify the expense and incony
ence subsequent to the change. Ae
Blazing ‘the Pathway of Progress . alone
Any big forward movement in any line of endeavor was is
instituted by those who could see beyond the immediate pre- |
sent; someone who visualized better things than those of the i
moment. Big things, for which the present day business world ‘|
is justly thankful, were not accomplished without some in- ‘|
convenience and effort on the part of those men who institut- = |
ed the movement; men who fought hard to overcome each = |
obstacle; sincere in their conviction that a change in the order |
of canes must pote beneficial to all. yA tees
To summarize briefly, we offer a guaranteed quantity: a
product backed by a double buneautereel quality. it rt are eos
selling by the bunch or by the thousand your price to ra ?
trade is lowered; if three bunches of thousand eB ates po a" t
“square” your price remains relatively identical. We offera |
unit which is readily understood by your trade; a unit which)
precludes any mistakes in compiling estimates; a unit which |
consigns to the shelf the old hit or miss method of arriving |
at quantities. It makes for greater merchandising efficiency. ‘
Do not its merits warrant an honest trial by the trade? = 8 |

Chaotic State in the Lumber Arena
_ Leading Representative Thinks it Will Not Take Very Big
py SPS | Business to Bring Prices Back ;

. Acalm, impartial and comprehensive summing up of the general’
_ lumber situation in British Columbia and the outlook for 1921 is fur-
_ nished in a recent letter from a leading representative of the industry
on the-Pacific Coast to Hugh A. Rose, of Rose-McLaurin, Limited,
- wholesale lumbermen, Toronto. The communication is as follows:

___. Ihad intended to write you before this and endeavor to give some
_ idea of conditions at the Coast but hesitated as they were changing
so rapidly and were in such a demoralized state that we hoped some-
_ thing would happen to steady things. The situation is chaotic. There
seems to be a fair amount of special cutting business of one sort and
another such as export ties and merchantable, common timber for
- constructional purposes, railway car material, etc., but unfortunately
__ we are only able to put 35 to. 50 per cent. of the log into these orders.
_ The balance made up of regular yard and shed items, has to be put into
¥ stock as there are practically no orders coming in for stock material.
- Bei Val is oun experience and we understand from conversation
| __—-we have had with outher operators that our experience is general. The
; ssult is that the price on stock items has got down to a point which is

mills in most cases realize that it is folly to fill our yards up
- manufactured under high cost conditions. Unfortunately
ery high and the logging operations are loath to make any
stating that they will have to get lower wages before they
ling in that direction, and in order to get lower wages,
down for a time to get the men in the proper frame
pt the reductions. There are at least 70 per cent. of
ig on shutting down this month. This will have the ten-
_ dency to create a shortage of logs and strengthen the. price of that
_ commodity temporarily, at least, and will result, I believe,-in a number
_ of mills going down. Already there are several mills entirely closed
__ down and several have shut down one side or curtailed their production
_ insome way. Others, (amongst whom we are) who have a little export
| _ and special cutting business to complete, will also close down until
|. conditions are sufficiently improved to warrant them resuming oper-
ations. It would seem as though the present conditions cannot last
_ for long unless we are to have a very general depression the world
over, as practically every lumber market is almost denuded of stock.
_. In the case of the United Kingdom, we continue to receive some
_ business and numerous enquiries for railway ties, something we never
contemplated shipping to that market on account of its proximity to
_ the Baltic and to southern pine, by comparison to the West Coast.
_ We hear Greece and Italy are coming into the market shortly for a
_ large quantity of ties and understand that the Baltic is pretty well
filled up with business of this nature. We have already had an en-
- quiry for 30 million feet from Egypt and India is particularly up
against it for “sleepers,” as they are called there. That is only one
_, item; the same condition exists to a certain extent in general stock.

___ Australia we hear is very short, but is delaying buying just as
long as possible, hoping for lower prices and lower freight rates. On
_ our own continent the railway companies have been neglecting their
_ roads and must do a lot of renewing very shortly in the way of ties
__ and wooden bridges on branch lines and in the way of equipment.

Dismiss Appeal in Lumber Case

In the Supreme Court, Ottawa, the Bathurst Lumber Co., of
Bathurst, N.B., recently won a case in Bathurst Lumber Co. vs. Harris.
It appears that the appellants drove logs down a river past the re-
spondent’s farm. The latter was indebted to appellants on a note
and account, and agteed to cut 400,000 feet of lumber on his own land sf
and pile it on the bank of the river. He delivered 90,000 feet only,
and finally the appellants took action for their debt, and the respondent —
made counter claims for damages to his farm by the flooding of the
rived by the lumber company. The appellant then amended their claim oy
asking damages for breach of the contract to deliver 400,000 feet on 4
lumber. The trial judge allowed the counter claim, and dismissed
appellants’ claim for damages, and this decision was affirmed by the
Appeal Court of New Brunswick.

When Lumber was Sold Green from Saw
In 1879 and there abouts the marketing of lumber in Chicago was
conducted in a very different way from what it is to-day, said Mr. ¥
Edward Hines in a recent address before the National Association of — J
Purchasing Agents in Chicago. Mr. Hines speaks from personal ex-
perience, having been employed in 1879 in the lumber market of the
city, and he recalls having seen in one day at that time as many as (©
= vessels loaded with lumber tied along the Chicago River awaiting a
uyers. te
In those days the lumber was not stored and sorted into grades,
lengths, widths, etc., ready for immediate consumption and marketed
direct from the mill to the retail dealer and consumer, as it is now,
but was manufactured all sizes and grades and’ thus shipped green
from the saw on what were known as lumber schooners. Later small
steam schooners were used, carrying from 150,000 to 350,000 feet and
even 1,000,000 feet. This lumber was transported from various lake _
points to Chicago and was there placed in the hands of commission —
men to be practically auctioned off by them to the highest bidder from
the various lumber yard dealers located along the river. These dealers © %
at one time numbered nearly one hundred. ae
When a trade for the shipment was made, local inspectors were _
put upon the cargo to measure the lumber as it was unloaded over
the side of the boat on to the dock and later the proceeds were sent to _
the mill man, less commission for the sale.
Compare this old-fashioned method of marketing, says Mr. Hines,
with the present up-to-date methods of piling and sorting everything

Getting Out the Timber in Ontario Highlands

Making Better Use of the Labor -Available and Handling More ‘Logs—Eastern
Adaptation of “High Lead” System hich is Working Splendidly

Up in the Highlands of Old Ontario, on the dividing line between
the watersheds of the Ottawa Valley and the St. Lawrence Valley,
there is a goodly bit of standing timber which has been untouched
by lumbermen for many years, owing to its remoteness from railway
facilities. Years ago an attempt was made to clean up this section,
and many logs were taken out and floated down to the distant Ottawa,
but for some reason the work was abandoned and the region left to
the deer, the bear, the wolf, the hunter and the occasional “settler and
camper.

A good stand of second growth timber has arisen since the old
lumbering days, and in the territory untouched by the lumbermen of
that date, or by subsequent fires, the original timber has grown larger
and more valuable.

Owing to the present scarcity of lumber and the prevailing high
prices, the eyes of many lumbermen have been turned toward this
“Height of land” with its tempting stand of money-making timber.
Various t'mber surveys have been made, with the result the it one

company made a beginning on its limit this past summer, and two
or three other companies are planning to start cutting in the next few

charges that are inevitable owing to the remoteness of the timber
ie the railroad, and the impossibility of getting a road into the hills
at a reasonable cost.

It was the writer’s privilege this summer to see a little of the
preliminary work done during the warm weather by the company
which has already started cutting. Owing to the shortage of labor,
little could be done, but it was illuminating and instructive to see
how much was done and how difficulties were overcome in spite of
labor handicaps and the transportation problem.

Arrived With Gang of One Man.

’ First of all'a foreman was sent in, presumably with a gang of
men, but after a diligent search for help this foreman arriv ed on the
job somewhere around the lst of July with a “gang” numbering
just one man. But he is a resourceful man, this same foreman, quiet
of tongue, slow-speaking, unassuming, but with plenty of pluck,
good horse sense and knowledge of lumbering: ways and methods.
He knows his work, and it is a treat to see him handle the ‘tools of
his trade.

This foreman and his “gang” of one man put up their tents,
arranged for temporary board with a near-by settler, and bravely
started in to work—only two axes to cut down the primitive forest,
where maples and other hard woods were found two feet and over in
diameter.. It was a tremendous task for two men, but they did their
best.

It had been decided to float the logs down stream about twelve

boards, pulpwood, etc., could be transported without much difficulty.
to the railroad. Everything marketable was to be cut, including
white pine, red pine, hemlock, spruce, balsam, fir, maple, birch, oak,
poplar, etc. For some seven or eight miles of this distance the logs

would have to be rafted and towed over the deep waters of a lake

logs lost in transit would be lost forever. It would be impossible to
locate and recover them. This makes the floating of the hardwoods
an exceedingly difficult and risky undertaking.

Keeping Everlastingly at the Work.

_ To reduce to a minimum the chances of thus losing a large por-
tion of the valuable hardwood timber, it was decided to peel these
hardwood logs as much as possible before putting them into the
water. As these logs peel quite easily in the spring and early summer,
but later in the season are almost impossible to peel, the first work
undertaken by the foreman and his “gang” of one man was to chop
down and peel as many as possible of the hardwoods while the peeling
was good. Day after day they stuck to this task, felling the trees
and removing strips of bark from each tree, but otherwise leaving the
trees as they fell. Shorthanded as they were, no time could be spared
at that season of the year for topping the trees, removing the branches
or sawing the trees into logs. This would all have to ‘be done later,

when the peeling season was over. But as the trees fell, so they had
to lie—a tangled mass of wreckage that it would be difficult and
dangerous later on to untangle. Owing to the shortage of- labor,
this was the only feasible procedure.

The foreman expected other men to arrive on the job to increase
his gang and enable him to get more work done, but in this he was
dis sappointed. No more men came. Finally the foreman realized the
impossibility of making much headway in his herculean task owing
to the paucity of labor at his command. The season was passing, trees —

“yard,” and is also used for piling up the logs in skidways ready for
rolling off on to the waggon or sleigh. The power and speed of this
little machine may be judged from the fact that it will easily handle
logs up to a ton and a quarter in weight, and at the rate of a thousand
or more per day. Larger sizes of these machines are made, capable
of moving much larger logs, but this small size is the one used by
the firm referred to above, and which has proved perfectly sat.sfactory
for the size of log found in that section of Eastern Ontario,

The method of skidding used by this concern is an eastern modi-_
fication or adaptation of the “High Lead” system so popular in British
Columbia. It has been commonly thought by many lumbermen that

where “spar trees” can be utilized, on which it is possible to sling
the block as high as 200 feet or more off the ground. Owing to this
erroneous impression, so prevalent among easterners, this system has
been slow to win a place among eastern lumbering methods. But
that it is quite suitable for this section of the country has now been
abundantly proven. In fact, it now seems to be the very best skidding
method yet introduced into Ontario,

The accompanying illustrations are all reproductions of actual
photographs taken in Ontario lumber camps using this method, and
using the simple skidding and loading machine shown.

“Spar Tree” Only Thirty Feet High

or 30 feet above the ground. Yet with this comparatively low working
“lead,” they were able to skid the logs in to the “spar tree” from a
distance of 200 feet or more.

It will be understood that the haulage line is carried through
this high lead block and then out to the log, the height of the block
causing the forward end of the log to raise slightly off the ground,
sufficient to enable it to clear obstructions on its journey. Illustra-

commonly made for use with wire cable—chained to the top of the
tree. It will also be seen that the tree is guyed in two or three
directions to enable it to safely stand the working strain.

In common practice in the small timbers of Eastern Ontario, and
with this comparatively low “high lead” block, a man carries the
hook and tongs out to the log and fastens the tongs securely into
the end of the log, as shown’in photo No. 4. He then ‘signals the
operator, who presses a lever and starts the log on its journey from
the stump to the mill. The attendant usually walks back with the
log to be handy in case it meets with an obstruction which it cannot
go over or around without assistance. Photo No. 5 shows a log on
its arrival at the “spar tree.” Note how one end of the log is raised
and only the other end dragging the ground.

The log is then lowered to the ground, the tongs detached from
the end and fastened again into the centre of the log. It is again

raised clear of the ground, as shown in photo No. 6. The tongs and
hook aré shown with especial clearness in this snap shot. Two men
then guide the log, as shown in photo No. 7, while it is carried or
pushed out and’ loaded on to the skidway, from whence it will later
on be rolled off to, the sleigh.

. Expediting Both Loading and Skidding.

. Sometimes it is necessary to use a rope block and tackle to carry
the log the right distance from the “spar tree” to make the skidway
the. desired size. Photo No. 8 shows two men thus lowering the log
in place with the aid of a rope block. For large skidways such as
this, some operators find that they save both time and money by using
a machine with two drums, as in illustration No. 9, using one drum
for skidding and the other drum for loading. Both operations can
thus be carried on continuously, as the skidders do not haye to stand
and wait on the loaders. The camp in which photograph No, 8
was taken used one of these two-drum machines in this way, exne-
diting both loading and skidding to the profit of the owner. ‘Lhe
amazing amount of work that can be done with one of these little
machines when properly handled is well shown in photo No. 8.
Note the size and quantity of the logs piled up by this machine. The
owner of this camp says that this two-drum machine did the work of
three‘or four teams. Any lumberman can readily figure out how much
this man saved in a season by the use of this labor-saving tool. No
weather was found too cold for this gasoline machine through all of
a long Ontario winter. These same machines are, of course, built for
steam power, but are a trifle heavier, owing to the weight of the
boiler, water, etc. But where gasoline is expensive or difficult to pro-
cure, the steam power has been proven in actual experience in the
woods to be both efficient and economical.

Reducing Manual Labor to Minimum.

Another use for these machines is in towing teams up a steep hill.
The camp where most of these photos were taken thus used their
machine for a considerable period last-winter, saving thus the expense
of using extra horses for this purpose. :

As mentioned above, any machine or tool that will take the place
of men, or that will enable the owner to get more work out of the
few men he is able to secure, is of interest to the lumberman—one
might say, is of vital importance to him. The firm referred to in the
beginning of this article was in hard straits for lack of men. There
are many more lumbermen in Ontario and East who are similarly
situated. In fact, it might be truthfully said that there is not a lum-
ber camp in Ontario with as many men as they would like to have.
The camps in which the accompanying photos were taken have found
that these little machines do really take the place of men and enable
them to get more work accomplished with the men they have. They
have saved much money by the use of these machines, and it is to be

hoped that many other lumbermen will profit by their experience and
use these machines in place of men to help get out the lumber that
is so urgently needed now in the upbuilding and development of this
country. et 47

Mr. Gordon Reviews Western Conditions
Mr, A. E. Gordon, of Terry & Gordon, Limited, Toronto and Van-
couver, returned home recently, after spending six weeks among the
Mountain and Coast Mills in British Columbia. He states that when
he reached the west and visited the Mountain Mills the tremendou
increases in freight rates had just been announced. While an advance
had been expected it was not thought that. it would be so heavy, or
that it would have come so suddenly. The mill men of the west na
turally looked to the consumer in the east to absorb the advance, or, a’
least, the greater part of it, while the man in the east did not
the matter in that light, but thought the mills should take care of the
increased charges for transportation. The demand for lumber ge er
a}ly was falling off to some extent about that time, but the jump in
freight‘rates had the effect of practically dividing the west from the
east, as far as the general lumber business is concerned. 7
Continuing, Mr. Gordon said: “Stocks among the Mountain Mill
are not large. The plants are practically all closed down and \
duct logging operations only on a very limited scale during
ing winter. There is no disposition on the part of the ope
produce lumber out of which they cannot get the cost of pre
Their attitude is one of watchful waiting and the output ext yez
likely to be considerably decreased, unless there is a dical cl
in demand and values. AS
__ So far as the coast mills are concerned, the situation is
different. A number of these mills, which are doing an ext

timber and ties, are running. These mills have some si ‘at
hand, but as a rule it is dressed to B. C. standard sizes and is not suit-

able for use in Eastern Markets. Tas.

Most of the mills that are not working on export orde:
down or contemplate doing so in the very near future. xs, gen-_
erally speaking, are very low except in a few special lines.

The supplv of logs on hand is away below the average. When I —
left, there was only about 66,000,000 ft. of fir logs in the storage booms,
which would not keep the plants in operation more than a few weeks —
at the outside. Most of the logging camps are closed down and others —
are following suit. MRED HG

With respect to shingles, when I arrived in British Colun
about 75 percent. of the shingle machines had been ed down.
When I left this percentage had been increased to about 90 per cent.,
with more to follow. In my opinion, there is bound to be a age
of shingles in the spring. It can scarcely be otherwise.

The whole outlook in the west may be summed up in decreas
production and no renewed activity until such times as the demand for —
western forest products reasserts itself and prices raise to a level E
which will give the manufacturer a profit on production.

Continuing, Mr. Gordon stated that the greatest sethOe ee
her industry, in Canada, had received since 1914, was the -ecent
bitant increase in freight rates, which is more than was a even’
in the United States, there the average increase is about 33 p cent.,
whereas in Canada it is about 37 per cent. on transcontinen uls. —

The rate of freight on lumber from Seattle to Buffalo is $ -O1 per —
100 pounds, whereas from Vancouver to Toronto, a similar distance.
the rate is $1.05. This applies practically all along the line anc
amounts to a discrimination against Canadian lumbermen. Mr. Gor-
don is of the opinion that if the recent advance had been fr ym ten to
fifteen per cent. it would not have proved nearly so deterren a fa 01
and conditions in the trade would have readjusted es mt
more quickly than they will under the present circum

Another errot was in announcing a 5 per cent |

has encountered barriers over which the lumbermen have
A slackned demand, freight rates that are too high, a ten
part of all manufacturers to retrench and a general h
onerations have brought about perhaps -the dullest peric
since the outbreak of the war. i

However, Mr. Gordon was confident that in spite of
stacles conditions would right themselves within a few month
the industry as‘a whole would be placed on a sound basis in outnut,
distribution and sales. Stabilization in prices, decreased freight rat
and prodyction are the great needs of the lumber industry to-day. —

¥ Cancellations Contribute to Price Slumps
: Marcel Krauss, of the Krauss Bros. Lumber Co. and a director
of the American Wholesale Lumber Association, was the principal
speaker at the weekly luncheon of the Lumbermen’s Chub recently in
New Orleans. Mr. Krauss discussed lumber conditions in general and
“cancellations” in particular. He suggested that the present price de-
| __—s pression might be attributed in part to the “cancellation” habit, inti-
. mating that when a buyer placed orders for the same b/Il with several
concerns, intending only to accept the first shipment, moved and cancel
__ the others, he was helping to create the appearance of a demand that
_ did not exist, and the resulting cancellations contributed to price
slumps from which the entire trade suffered:in’the end: He thought
that the contracts implied by the placing of orders should be carried
out, proposing arbitration in cases where just cause was pleaded for
cancellations. Leyes ae .

Bi (KS Business at St. John Shows No Improvement
The lumber trade at St. John has simply gone’ flat. No improve-

winter. No exporting is being done. Lumber from interior points is
_ being brought into St. John and stored so in case of any improvement
in the English and American markets through the winter that the
_~ lumber can be moved out. Price has no effect upon sales at the pre-
sent moment as no one seems disposed to purchase, awaiting the future
and what it may bring forth. - Labor is becoming more plentiful each
day and wages for the woods are not over $60.00 per month. Very
few crews are going into the woods from this vicinity. Locally, the
_ __ building trade is at a standstill and but little jobbing or repair work is

is the first appearance of any weakness this season.

_ that English importers of Sassafras products say.the nuts have no

It seems that the Sassafras tree grows on the Ontario Govern+
ment nurseries in Norfolk County, to some extent, and that it has
attained a diameter up to 16 inches. In Essex County there are
quite a large number of these trees big enough to cut up, the height
raging from 50 to 60 inches. The wood resembles black ash,
nly that it is softer. The “Canada Lumberman” is informed that,
ough classed as a hardwood, the Sassafras has no value as a
nercial wood and neither have the nuts any practical worth.

The bark of the tree is largely used for smoking ham and bacon,
and is reported excellent for that purpose.

The Sassafras tree is seen in High Park, Toronto, but has there
only attained the proportions of a large shrub. In Michigan and
Pennsylvania the tree grows to. a much greater extent than in south-
western Ontario, but is not much sought after. ‘ ,

Mr. Perry Resigns—Mr. Schupner Promoted

E. F. Perry, who for many years has been secretary of the National.
Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Associations whose headquarters are
in New York City, has sent in his resignation, which will-take ~
effect on January Ist next. In a letter to the trustees. (of which A. E.
Clark, Toronto, and Gordon C. Edwards, Ottawa, are members) Mr.
Perry says that during the past few months there has been impressed
upon his mind more strongly than ever, the growing opportunity for
service as well as the business prospect offered by the field of insur-
ance forlumbermen. He adds: First entered into somewhat casually
“this field with growing acquaintance and experience has now assumed
proportions that not only attract, but seem properly to demand the
larger part of my active time and attention. This is especially em-
phasized by the rapid growth of the Lumber Mutual Casualty In-_
surance Company of New York, of which I have been Vice-President
and General Manager. For sometime, therefore, and with a reluctance
you will readily understand, I have had to consider the probable
necessity of a withdrawal from active service to the Association.
Fortunately, the present very pleasing condition of Association affairs,
its high membership record, its achieved position of enlarged use-
fulness, and the exceptionally pleasant relations existing between

W. W. Schupner, New York

who succeeds E. F. Perry as secretary of
the N. W. L. D. Association.

us all, seems to present a very opportune time when I may be per-—
mitted to suggest this change.

Mr. Perry is well known to a large number of Canadian lumber- —
men and attended the last annual meeting of the C. L. A. in Quebec ©
City. His successor in office will be W. W. Schupner, who_has been
indentified with the National Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association
for the past twenty years, and in a most efficient manner has acted ©
as Mr. Perry’s assistant. Mr. Schupner was one of the speakers at
the annual gathering of the Canadian Lumbermen’s Association in ~
St. John in 1919 and is no stranger to the majority of the members |
of that body. : '

Speaking of his successor, Mr. Perry, in a recent letter to the
“Canada Lumberman,” says, “Mr. Schupner has grown up with the
Association and has been especially active in the Bureau of Informa- —
tion which has to do with the Credit, Legal and Collection features |
oi the Association, and which are recognized by the trade at large ’
and by our membership as being the outstanding features of our
work. Our Credit Department has been constantly increasing, re-—
ports on hand growing to somewhat between 35 and 40,000, and the
Collection Department has reached a point where it will handle close —
to a million dollars in claims per year. Mr. Schupner has done a large _
amount of traveling, and has acquired a wide acquaintance in the |
Lumber Trade ,and has in every way fitted himself to take over the ©
duties which will develop upon him in assuming the position of
Secretary. |

Many Southern Mills Cease to Operate
_ — W. H. Harris, of the Frank H. Harris Lumber Co., who spent
a month in Mississippi, Alabama and Arkansas, returned to Toronto
recently. He reports that a large number of mills in the south have
closed down and that others intended to cease operations within a
days. There is practically little or no demand for southern woods.
s stocks are not heavy at the mills. The cost of operation is so
a en it does not pay manufacturers to go ahead and turn out a

5 : i
roduct on which cost cannot be realized.

__ Mr. Harris reports that their own mills at High Point and
Lake Mississippi have been closed for some time. A number of
; have been sawing railway ties and this work has also been
inished. The past summer was a rainy one in many of the southern
s, and gum, oak and other logs, which were cut could not be
ight out to the railways, with the result that a large proportion
e become worm-eaten. Many logs are along the track at present
g shipment to the mills, but as they are not required owing
iet state of the trade generally the logs may be still further
d. It was not until early in September that the rainy season
in the south, since which time fine weather had prevailed.

part of southern negroes, who work in the mills, to take less wages.
They are still holding out for a high figure, and while a number of
plants would continue to operate if the workers would take a reason-
able decrease, they find no desire on the part of their-employees to
do this, and so the industries have had to close down. Where mills
re-open and workers have been idle for some time, the latter, they
are generally willing to accept a cut in pay.

How Retailers Stand on Shingles

With a view of ascertaining the views of the retail lumbermen of
the northwest regarding shingles, packed by the square or thousand,
we sent out a questionnaire to a selected list of dealers. We refrained
from expressing any opinion for or against the two methods of packing,
says the “Mississippi Valley Lumberman.”

While we did not receive as many replies as we had hoped for, —
yet response came from large and small dealers and from various sec-
tions of lowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, North and South Dakota.

A considerable number of the views of these retail lumbermen
have been published in recent issues.

The result of our investigation indicates that a large majority of.
the retail lumbermen of this section of the country are opposed to the
square pack and in favor of continuing the old or thousand pack. Up
to the 3rd of the month we received 81 replies of which 28 expressed

a preference for the square pack. Of this number, 8 qualified their o

choice by the proviso that they would prefer the square pack if a
single unit could be established. Several of those who advocated the
square pack gave as their opinion that it would be better to continue
the thousand pack rather than to have the two units.

Forty-two dealers contended that the old or thousand pack was
preferable and many of them gave their reasons therefore. One dealer
voted for the thousand pack on condition that it should be the single
standard.

Ten retail lumbermen had no preference between the square
and thousand pack. With but few exceptions, however, they all claim ~
that a double standard is detrimental to their interest, and that of the
manufacturers and the consumers. Only one dealer favored the double
standard.

If these 81 dealers are expressing the views of the retail lumber-
men of the northwest, and we believe they do, the showing is not very
favorable for the universal introduction of the square pack. The pro--
ponents of the square pack have admitted that the dealers in the north-
west have not been favorable to changing from the thousand to the
square pack, but have claimed that the retail lumbermen of the eastern ~
states will not take sh‘ngles packed any-other way if they can get .
them. This statement is contradicted by the manufacturers who con-
tinue to pack by the thousand and they submit as proof of their con-
tention their records showing that they have been able to sell their
product freely in the eastern territory.

That some solution will be found for this vexed problem at the
forthcoming annual meeting of the shingle manufacturers goes with-
out saying. They all have so much at stake that they cannot afford
to continue their past suicidal policy.

Northern Company Will Not Decrease Cut

C. J. Price of the Moose Lake Lumber Co., Cobalt, Ont., was in
Toronto recently calling upon members of the trade. The company’s
mill, located seven miles from Cobalt, which was burned last July,
has been rebuilt. Mr. Price purchased the equipment of J. J. —
McLellan of Gillies’ Siding and installed it in his new mill which has _
a Sawing capacity of about 18,000 feet a day. During the*past season
Mr. Price sawed about 2,000,000 feet, principally of jack pine, and has

‘made arrangements to have the same quantity of lumber logged during

the winter. He has also contracted for 5,000 cords of spruce pulp-
wood, which is bringing $14.00 per cord, f.o.b. cars. An unusually.
large quantity of pulpwood is being taken out this year in and around
Cobalt due to the active demand which prevails for this commodity.

Paper Clothing is Very Cheap

Cleaners and dyers will retire from business if Americans take

kindly to the paper suits, overcoats, suspenders and other garments
a shipment of which has just arrived in Chicago from Germany and
Austria. All one needs to freshen up his clothes is a wad of art
gum or an eraser.

One of these suits, made entirely of paper, from the buttons to
the price tag, sells for 575 crowns, or about $2.50 in American money.

In addition to the garments for men and women, there are
aprons of all kinds, table covers elaborately embroidered, curtains,
hoods, twine, collars and cuffs. The clothing is treated with some
sort of shellac that is supposed to make it waterproof. Otherwise
a man wearing a paper suit who was caught out in a heavy rain would

return without any clothing.

P olicy of Steady, Consistent Buying is

The Dealer Can Virtually Remove Speculation from Market if He Will Set His Face
Deliberately Against It—The Proper Basis of Purchase ? ye

Just now there are a number of potential buyers of lumber who
are regarding the stagnation of the market and the resultant slump in
prices with a sort of grim satisfaction, says “Lumber.” But this sat-
isfaction, particularly in the case of the lumber dealer, is allowed by
uneasiness because of a stock of lumber in hand that cost considerably
more than it could now be bouglit for. These buyers—many of them
actually needing lumber so badly that they are not in position to
properly serve their trade—are hesitant. They are “waiting.” For
what are they. waiting?

On the other side of the picture there are hundreds of manufac-
turers of lumber faced with the problem of suspending operations or
of accumulating huge quantities of stock in excess of what can be
sold and shipped. Either course is expensive. The present high in-

:

terest rates for borrowed money, in fact, render the accumulation of
excessive stocks extremely expensive. The disorganization of care:
fully built-up operating crews, the deterioration of. unused machinery
and equipment, the loss in efficiency through any slowing down of
operations—these are likewise expensive. Who pays?

In great measure, the present condition of the lumber market-is
a reaction from the intense speculative activity—the speculative war—
of the latter months of 1919 and early 1920. Virtually all who observed
that active period are agreed that the extremely high prices were a
result of competitive bidding on the part of buyers. It was an era of
speculation, not only in lumber, but in dozens of other commodities.

But a continuance of the present condition must unfailingly bring
another reaction. That is the invariable history of speculative activity.
The turning point has probably been reached now, for several grades
of structural lumber are being sold below cost of production. This
is naturally resulting in a cutting down of production. So, if the
stagnation in demand continues long, there will be another turn in the
cycle. What is now a stagnated market as the effect of reaction can
be expected, because of accumulating demand, to become a feverish
market, caused by this very stagnation.

Just why should the lumber market be a speculative market ?
Above all, why should the lumber dealer be made a party to specula-
tive activity? Why should ‘he heed propagandist urgings that certain
times are the “right time to buy” or listen to urgings, that are likewise
propagandist, at “other times, to “stay out of the market ?’ f

The business of lumber dealers is not based on speculation, even
in the remotest degree. It is straightforward, day-to-day service to
his community, for which he asks, ‘and receiv es, a reasonable profit.
By and large, ninety per cent, of the dealers of America, we believe,
much prefer stability in the market. They prefer a condition in which
they can have confidence in values and can transmit that confidence to

’ their customers.

Speculation should be, and we believe it is, abhorrent to the dealer.

_ His every interest is against it and it is decidedly to his interest to do

all that he can to promote stability.
The dealer can virtually remove speculation from the lumber

just one way: }
By refusing at any time to let speculation enter into his purchase
By buying for his needs (which are based on the needs of his ow
customers) as those needs develop. F
By refusing to “stay out” of the market.
By refusing likewise to be stampeded into “overbuying.” i
In short, be careful, discriminative buying throughout each ye
in reasonable anticipation of his customers’ needs. a
There was an instance last month, outside of the lumber trad
of a loan of $250,000 for a non-speculative enterprise on which
borrower paid twenty per cent.—eight per cent. interest and ty
per cent. “commission.” This gives an intimation of what the cz
ing costs of large lumber stocks in the hands of the nae
be. The word “costs” is used advisedly, for interest charges, exc
or not, are a part of the primary cost of any article. The ac 1a
of lumber, high already because of high wages and nee gee
ment, is being increased by the present market stagnation. _
The cost will be passed on. It will be added to the he other hig igh
whenever, under the present scheme of things, the nee
force him into the market for lumber. And, under the preser
of things, there will be inflation of profits as well if great m
dealers are forced into the market at once, either through actu
or by propaganda. The dealer will pay, and his customer ¥
We believe that it is time now for the dealer to’ ur ate

there is now a buyer’s market. The matter is in the deale

Even on a speculative basis, we believe that face of ae
the two species of lumber—yellow pine and Douglas fir—most us use:
construction, are a fairly safe purchase at present. It is a,

But, in the interest of the dealer, we urge that he disregard al i”
speculative impulses. That he hold his purchases to his needs, but
that he unhesitatingly buy for those needs. This— advice has b en
given to dealers before by us. It was sound then.- It is sou now!

You and Robinson Crusoe

“One of the most persistent advertisers in the history of _
success was Robinson Crusoe,” writes Prairie Farmer.
“He knew what he wanted—a ship—and he put up an ¢ ad '
for one.

“He flung a shirt on a pole at the top of his island; that,
in the language of the sea, was plain to every seafaring man
“The circulation was small, there was no other medium
but Crusoe kept at it, despite the fact that he got no inquiries —
for a long time. ~~
“In the end he got what he wanted, was happy, and his
name and fame have come down through the ages!
“Suppose Robinson Crusoe had taken down his signal after
a year and declared: ‘Advertising doesn’t pay!’ Where wo
he and his story be now?”
Or suppose something had whispered in his ear: “No
Robinson—these are pretty hard times. Nobody s buy ‘
or sailing any ships while money’s so tight. Better cut ou!
your advertising until times get good again.” +.
Advertise now and next eaten and next year. Put up your
signal and keep it there! 9

The Kinds of Material that Come Out of Giant Douglas Fir Log

The illustration shown is from a photograph of a cross section
of a Douglas Fir log.- This section was displayed at a recently held
Railway Appliance exhibit at Chicago by the West Coast Lumber-
men’s Association of Oregon and Washington and created a great
deal of interest, not only on account of the unique nature of the
exhibit, but also of its educational value. Few, although familiar with
the manufactured products, scarcely conceived that timber grew in
such quality and size as to secure the various grades’ and class of
lumber from a single log.

This was secured by taking a section of the log, it being about
48 inches in diameter and bandsawing the same into the various
pieces as marked. The whole was re-assembled and shows how the
log would be graded and sawn in the usual process of manufacturing
in the regular way. é

It is interesting to note the product of the log and from which

portion of same, the various grades and kinds of lumber are obtained.
It will be observed: that securing almost every class of material is
the result of proper grading and saving the log by experienced saw-
yers and others.

Starting with the slab, this stock is sorted as to quality and size,
some going into ordinary fuel, the desirable and suitable being passed
on to the lath mill. After “slabbing” (as it is termed) one or more
sides, we come to the “clear,” used for “finish,” such as casing and
base; then a four or six inch cant to be resawn by a gang saw or other
appliances in siding’ and flooring strips, the latter usually “turned
down” and producing vertical grain lumber and in some cases, ten
and twelve inches thick for high grade vertical grain stepping.

Proceeding further with the cut by constant turning of the log
and approaching the heart, the “select” and “merchantable” grades
of ship-barge and car materials are obtained. Between the remaining

e CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER ~— ee

section of the log and the heart are secured structual and bridge
timbers, heavy joists and to the smaller sized dimension, boards
are in the common grades.

While, of course, the large log illustrated was selected for the
purpose, all logs will not produce such results. A considerable
percentage of the fir growing in British Columbia, and in the Pacific
Coast will however, do so.

Toronto Firm Specializes in Hewn Timber

The Toronto Timber & Cordwood Co., Limited, was recently
_ granted a charter and has offices at 95 King St. East. E. F. Griffiths

is the president of the company and C. W. James, Jr., vice-president
and general manager. Mr. James has been associated with the forest
products business practically all his life, and spent several years with
his grandfather, the late Martin McKee, who conducted at 1072 Queen
St. East, Toronto, a successful planing mill.

The Toronto Timber & Cordwood Co. also has a European office
at the “Waldorf Hotel,” London, England. The firm specializes in
hewn timber and lumber, and are also large buyers of body, maple,
beech and birch cordwood, which is sold to civic corporations and
other large consumers. The company is operating three camps for
the taking out of hewn jack pine and other timber, and have some 200
men engaged in this operation at present. Two camps are located near
the Christian Islands in the Penetang district, and another at Walsh
in Norfolk County. The average size of the hewn timber is about
9 in. x 12 in. and from 12 to 16 ‘ft. in length. This is shipped princi-
pally to Belfast, Ireland, and Mr. James reports that his firm will take
out nearly a million feet, log measure, this season. The timber is
sealed and then either jack- planed or flat- axed, and already several
cars have been sent forward. Across the water the hewn stock is used
for ship timber, building and factory purposes.

Mr. James says that “his concern is handling considerable cordwood
from various centres and has received a large number of quotations
f.o.b. shipping points. Slabs and edgings, either softwood or hard
wood, are_also bought.

Lumber Was Exceptionally Well Milled

The P. B. Yates Machine Co. have recently issued an attractive
new catalogue, entitled “Yates’ Planers and Matchers.” It covers the
complete line of planers and matchers manufactured by the company,
together with a full description of each machine. The booklet is well
printed, admirably gotten up and attractive in appearance.

The Yates Co. lately received some interesting correspondence
from the lumber firm of Blair & Rolland, Limited, to the effect that
Mr. Louis S. Rolland recently returned from a trip around New Jersey
and Pennsylvania interviewing a number of customers who received
some cars of dressed pine milled by James Davidson’s- Sons, Ottawa.
Mr. Rolland looked the stock over carefully to investigate ‘the class
of milling that was being put through for ‘his firm. He states that
his customers advised him that the dressed stock, which was shipped
them, was without doubt the finest class of milling on any lumber
that they had ever received. .

Mr. Rolland wrote James Davidson’s Sons, Ottawa, to this effect,
who later forwarded the letter to the P. B. Yates Machine Co., Ham-
ilton, along with the following comment: “You will notice that the
letter from Montreal is quite a boost for us, and as this work was
done on your matchers, we thought it was only fair that we should
pass the jetter along as you were deserving of some of the credit. We
think that the credit is evenly divided between us, lst, because the
machines were of your make, which enabled us to turn out good mill-
ing, and 2nd, we take the credit for having men to look after your
machines in a proper way.”

Says Mr. Backus Has No Monopoly

Premier Drury stated recently that the agreement made between
made between the Crown and E. W. Backus for the English River
timber limits and the power rights of the White Dog Rapids would
by no means give the Backus interests a monopoly. “It was pointed
out to Mr. Drury that in a story from Fort Frances it was stated that
the agreement provided that the successful bidder for the English
River limits would have to do all manufacturing in the town of
Kenora. That story also contained the statement that as Mr. Backus
had a monopoly of power in the town of Kenora, no other timber
men could possibly bid.

The Premier denied emphatically that the Backus interests had
a monopoly of power and produced the agreement and the conditions

of sale to prove his point.
“There is not near enough power in Kenora to operate the mills

and all surplus power goes to the Government and this in turn
be turned over to the successful bidder in Kenora. The agreement
reads: *4
«The lease of the said water power (referring to the White Dog
Rapids), shall be the standard form of Government lease of water
power, but in addition the said lease and rights so granted shall b
subject to the rights of all private ownership property, which

said rapids or the storage of water in connection therewith; and to
such rentals, reservations, provisos, conditions and stipulations, i

to be in the public interest.’

i es A meeting of Quebec Limit Holders was held at the Chateau
Frontenac, Quebec on November 17th, to arrange for a deputation
to wait on the Provincial Government the day following, and submit
re memorandum protesting at the recent increase of duties on the
- exploitation of the timber limits in the Province of Quebec, coupled
with a suggested change in the regulations. After this meeting the
Limit Holders in attendance, were the guests of Mr. W. Gerard Power,
re eanaiey President of the Canada Association at the Chateau. The
ollowing gentlemen were present: Messrs. Marshall Small, Chair-
man of the Limit Association; Brig.-General White, Montreal ; Wm.
Power, ex M.P. Quebec; Sir Henry Egan, Fred Booth, Phil. Walker
and John Black, Ottawa; Dan McLachlin, Arnprior; David Gillies,
Sr. David Gillies, 4m and J. E. Gillies, Braeside; J. M. Rochester. F.

G. M. Storr, Lake Megantic; Norman Brown, Berlin, N. H.; Paul
| Owens, Secretary of the Association and Major C. G. Power, M.C.,
\ a M.P., recently appointed Attorney for the Association.
a On Thursday morning the 18th instant, the Limit Holders as
| _' above mentioned, proceeded. to the Department Buildings where
_ they were received by ‘the Prime’ Minister, Hon. L. A. Taschereau,
| Hon. Honore Mercier, Minister of Lands and Forests, Hon. J. E.
| Perreault, Minister of Colonization, Deputy Minister, and Chief Offi-
cials of the two last named departments.
' After an exchange of courtesies and congratulating Hon. Mr. Tas-
_ chereau on his elevation to the Premiership etc., the deputation sub-
mitted their memorandum, which was read by the legal advisor Major

|.. bers of the deputation, who protested the change recently made in
| the text of article 12, of the forest regulation which took effect on
lay Ist 1920. The article as changed follows:
; “Licensees are forbidden to cut on Crown lands white or
* red pine measuring less than 13 inches, and. other trees less-
than 12 inches diameter at the stump measured two feet above
the ground, but it is permitted to cut black spruce and gray
| spruce down to 10 inches in diamenter, paper birch, balsam, fir,
poplar and aspen down to 7 inches in diameter, measured as:
aforesaid. -However, the Lt.-Governor in Council: will have
the right, after inspection of the Forest Service, to recommend
: exception to these regulations, on the territories indicated by
vw Forest’ Service and according to the conditions imposed by
-_ the Government.”
4 The circular letter sent out by the Department to the Limit
| Holders in April last notified them that, if, on the territory they
intended to operate the next season, there should be some sections
“is where the trees had reached thir maximum size, or where for other
_ reasons an exception should be made to the above regulation, they
were asked to send to the Department, not later than May 25th,
a formal demand of inspection, giving all the details about the sections
in question, their approximate area in acres or square miles and also
_ furnish the Departmen with a map showing the location of the tracts.
_ i would appear that the Limit Holders had not made any senvus
om _ objection to the change in the regulations governing the cut of trees
_ on the crown lands, and if it were not for the order in council passed
in October 6th, 1920, imposing increases, the objection to the change of
the regulation might for the present have been left in abeyance. This
Bx, order in Council, for instance, has increased the cost of operation very
} - considerably. For instance the cutting of square, waney or flat timber,
vhite pine, oak, hickory and walnut from 8 cents and 10 cents to 15
cen s for cubic foot. Red pine, elm, ash, cedar, bass-wood, birch,
maple and tamarac, from 6 and 8 cents, as set forth in order in council
1918, increases to 12 cents per cubic foot.

Want Timber Tariff Modified

” The increases in all wood cut, was proportionately made by the

order in Council passed October: 6th last. It is said that at the time
_ of these increases were made, after a survey by forest engineers when
was thought advisable to keep pace with the increase in the price

A. MORISSET,,

3646 Clerk of the Executive Council.

In their protest, the Limit Holders impressed upon the Govern-
ment the fact, that price of lumber and pulpwood had appreciably
decreased in price since the order-in-council of October 6th was rae
passed, and was likely to further decrease, and urge on the Govern-
ment to modify this tariff and at the same time revoke the latest
regulations in regard to article 12. et

Premier Taschereau, who was a very attentive listener, informéd
the deputation that the ‘memorandum submitted and representations
made by them would be given his most serious consideration and
that the Limit Holders would hear from the Government just as soon
as the question had been studied.

“CANADA LUMBE

Get Too ‘Many Sap Stained Clears

Vancouver Lumberman Thinks Fluctuations in Prices Too
Frequent and Ontario Sizes Will Soon Be Cut

Writing to the “Canada Lumberman” a wholesale lumberman
_from Vancouver, who recently spent several weeks in the East, covers
points of timely interest and his letter is well worth perusing. He
says:

One of the things which struck me most when in the East re-
garding British Columbia lumber business is the difficulty that your
men frequently have with sap stained clears, and from several
-sources I had complaints along these lines. It seems that many of
our British Columbia mills are guilty of the practise, or at any
rate of carelessness, shipping green lumber containing more or less
sap wood. This piled in the box cars without air space seems to
generate a certain amount of heat, the sap runs and stains otherwise
clear lumber, spoiling it for factory purposes for which it is intend-
ed. Most of the small mills out here have not dry kilns, and
in many cases they have not very large piling ground capacity. Also,
their bank account strongly resembles Oliver Twist’s porridge plate
after a certain accasion, the result being that they earnestly desire
on their own account, and are persuaded by the banks to get their

- lumber on the rails as quickly as possible. This, no doubt, accounts

in part for some of the sap stained lumber that is shipped. On the
other hand, I would point out that the Ontario buyer purchases and
pays a price for green lumber, so that to some extent he should take
up the burden. The real trouble, however, seems to exist in the fact
that the British Columbia shippers cannot always separate sap wood
from lumber that does not contain sap wood,
Another complaint is the fluctuation of prices on the Coast, and
This,
of course, is partly accounted for by the limited capital already re-
ferred to. ‘The influence of the United States market, which is very
irregular, also operates in this connection very materially.
There is another factor also, namely, standard British Columbia
sizes, and Ontario sizes: As you know, British Columbia standard
sizes call for a thinner piece of lumber than the Ontario sizes. In
other words 2 x 4 standard B. C. size is actually 1.5/8 in. thick,
whilst the Ontario size is 134 in., or in trade parlance, 4 scant. It
is my contention that the thinner piece of British Columbia fir is

o quite as strong as the thicker piece of Ontario hemlock, and is equal-

ly serviceable for all practical purposes. It is just a matter of ap-
pearance, and of course the ultimate customer usually considers the
‘size of the lumber rather than its actual strength.
The British Columbia mill man is quite willing to manufacture
Y% scant, but he is up against this difficulty; that his prairie market
calls for the 36 scant, and to manufacture both sizes would mean
two separate piles or piling areas. This, in itself, is practicable, but
he is then up against the danger of some “bohunk” yard men mixing
the thickness and placing prairie standard lumber in a car intended
for Ontario shipment. At the same time, the British Columbia mills

will, I believe, in fact they are in some cases now arranging to manu-

facture the Ontario sizes, and as the Ontario demand increases no
doubt they will cater more and more to the Ontario dealer’s wishes.
‘Against this, however, I would point out that the extra ¥ in. thick-
ness adds approximately over $2.00 per M. to the freight rates, and
it is a question in my mind- whether or not the Ontario dealers and
ultimate consumers could be persuaded to accept British Columbia

standard thicknesses and save that $2.00. They may think they are
passing it to the mill, and probably they are in times of stress like the

‘present, but generally speaking the consumer pays freight.

Breezy Happenings From The East

Work at the Restigouche booms has stopped for the year. A large
amount of lumber has been held over until next season, estimated at
15,000,000 in the south boom and over 20,000,000 in the north boom.

At the meeting of the Forest Advisory Board the inroads made

_’ by the spruce bud worm in the forests of the province, particularly in

Northumberland county, were discussed. A recommendation on this
matter will also go to the lieutenant-governor-in-council.

The River Valley Lumber Company’s saw mill at Oromocto was
shut down recently after a successful season’s work, The company
has a large quantity of logs left over and will hold them in the Orom-

~octo River until next season. It is the intention of the company to

operate a camp this winter at the Barony, York county.

The general expectations that the lumber cut in this province dur- -
ing the season of 1920-1921 will not be more than half is justified by
late reports coming in from all sources. Some say they will curtail
their operations much more than fifty per cent., and some maintain

op they will not cut at all. One of the firms, which has decided not to

operate is the Burtt Lumber Company with mill at Burtt’s Corner,

. ritish Lumber Trade Difficulties
it Solution of the Housing Problem Would Mean Absorp-

tion of Much Accumulated Stocks
By F. H. Devenish, Montreal

--_-* Industrial conditions in Great Britain are not satisfactory. The
_ Old Country is taking a very long time in readjusting itself to the
new state of affairs created by the war, and in the process there have
_~ been social and industrial upheavals which do not make for the
_ smooth working of the commercial machine. No doubt matters will
_ right themselves in the course of time, but, in the meantime, there
‘is certain to be further industrial disturbances and conflicts, causing
_ bitterness on the part of employers and employed. pile
es - The British lumber trade is having its share of trouble. During
the war the trade enjoyed great prosperity, but this has been followed
_. by a reaction, due to the higher cost of doing business, accumulation
of stocks, lack of building, and a falling off in general commerce. The
cost of handling lumber in the Port of London, for instance, has
increased from two to four times on the old rates, and the men,
_ besides adopting a very independent attitude, are not giving the
results as in pre-war days. Irritating delays are frequent, and owing
to the strong organization of the men, it is next to impossible to
_ remedy the condition. Lumber stocks of every description, and from
all parts of the world, have accumulated at every port, consequent
_ upon the lack of demand. A certain amount of building is being done,
_ but it is out of all proportion to the needs of the country, especially
. in the matter of houses.

Many Housing Schemes Ineffective

Canada has no conception of the famine in houses, which exists
in Great Britain. The Government has formulated several housing
schemes, not one of which has had any effect in appreciably increasing

the accommodation. By Act of Parliament owners of houses were

prohibited from adding to the rents during the war, neither could a
tenant be turned out, an advance of 30 per cent on pre-war rents has

just come into operation, but the tenant who pays the additional rent
has still the right of occupation. At the same time, the cost of building
has increased threefold, with the result that investors have not, and
will not, put their money into new house property. It is obvious

i

ya

that; with the cost of construction trebled, and with rents only 30°

per cent. higher there is no chance of even a small return on any
capital expended. The civic Councils are endeavoring to deal in a
partial way with the situation, and are erecting houses with money

__ borrowed at 6 per cent., but the rents to be charged in many instances

will not pay even the interest on the borrowed money, and the deficit

will have to be made good out of the rates.

One outcome of the scarcity of houses is that residences, where
vacant, possession can be obtained, are fetching on sale, three to
four times their cost. The purchasers recognize that there is no

possibility of securing a return on the investment, this, however, is a

The Outlook For Canadian Exporters

% The industrial situation, and the housing question in Great Bri-

/ _ tain are of interest to the Canadian lumber trade. As exporters of

_ lumber, conditions in the Old Country which decrease the consumption

of Canadian products affect us vitally. Unless there is a change, manu-

_ facturers of spruce, pine, birch and fir in particular will have to

_ reduce their output; exporters’ business will be diminished, and in
__ the competition which always ensues on a slow market, profits will
be cut to a minimum, especialy in a country like Great Britain, which
_ receives lumber from all over the world. Such a condition is bound
to be reflected in our domestic market. Manufacturers who usually

_ make for Great Britain will, in the absence of an export demand,

_ naturally endeavor to place their goods in Canada, with a consequent

tendency towards a lower range of values. In this way the entire

industry in Canada will be influenced.

_ For the time being, trade in Great Britain is slowing up; it may

_ be only a temporary condition, as the Old Country, in spite of the

unsettled outlook, has a wonderful way of over-coming’ trade, social,

and political difficulties. The solution of the housing problem would
mean the absorption of much of the accumulated stocks of lumber,
and would also help in a revival of trade, in which Canada would

participate.

Bright Meeting of Toronto Wholesalers
Interesting and instructive in every respect was the regular
1onthly meeting and dinner of the Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ As-
tion of Toronto, which was held at the Albany Club, Toronto,
November 19th. There was an exceptionally: large attendance,
tms having several representatives present. The gathering
>e remembered for its pleasant associations and good fellow-

ship. Song sheets were distributed, and, led by D. C. Johnston, of
the Union Lumber Co., the vocal efforts were well sustained. Mr.
Johnston has the happy faculty of imparting vitality to anything that
he undertakes and he kept himself and the banqueters on the move.
Then, another feature was the process of introduction whereby each
one present had to arise and present the person next to him, calling
him by name and announcing the firm with which he was associated, _
etc. This was a welcome item on the programme and there were also
a number of solos contributed, among them one by J, L. MacFarlane
of the Canadian General Lumber Co. A roll cali was also inaugur-.
ated and a record will be kept of the attendance in order to arouse as
much interest and enthusiasm as possible. Over 75 per cent. of the
firms, who are members of the association, were represented at the
gathering. .

A. C. Manbert, chairman, presided, and was in a particularly
happy vein. Under his direction everything went along smoothly
and the business was soon disposed of. Alex. Gordon reported for
the Membership Committee that several new firms have recently ~
joined the association, among them being the W. M. Ritter Lumber
Co. of Columbus, Ohio. The membership is now 40, which is prac-
tically double what it was when the organization was formed nearly
three years ago. =

amid SG McDermid, chairman of the Bureau of Information, gave
an interesting report, which stirred up the members on the point of
action and co-operation, and afterwards short addresses were made
by Bert Fonger, of J. G. Cane & Co., Toronto; T. N. Phillips, of
Timms, Phillips & Co., Vancouver; John Hall, Canadian represen-
tative of the W. M. Ritter Lumber Co., Columbus, Ohio, and T. R.
Dunn of the T. R. Dunn Lumber Co., Winnipeg. Mr. Dunn conveyed
greetings from the association in the prairie provinces.

Roy Halliday, traffic manager of the R. Laidlaw Lumber Co.,
Toronto, gave a timely and comprehensive talk on “Transportation
Routing and Rates.” He went into details, giving valuable informa- _
tion on the weighing and loading of cars, competitive points, dressing
in transit, the most economical routing, basis of tariffs, deliveries, etc.,
and told of the best methods of facilitating shipments, presenting |
claims and adjusting differences. Mr. Halliday was warmly thanked
by the chairman for his instructive remarks. Rie

The main event of the evening was the thoughtful and earnest
address delivered by A. L. Boyd of Toronto, manager of the Sheldon
School of Salesmanship, who spoke of the personal element in busi-
ness. In his introduction Mr. Boyd said that he had been greatly im-
pressed by the spirit of good fellowship which permeated the members __
of the Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association, as was evidenced by
the proceedings of the evening.

A full report of Mr. Boyd’s able remarks is held over until the
next issue of the “Canada Lumberman.” ,

Eastern Mills Putting in New Equipment

The Continental Lumber Co., whose mill at Charlo, N.B. was
burned down some time ago, is being rebuilt and the new plant will
have a circular outfit complete. The company will have a 20’ diameter _ q
refuse burner 80’ high, together with a rotaty saw, steam feed and
carriage equipped with 4” steam set works, which along with the
rolls, transmission machinery, etc., are being supplied by the Wm.
Hamilton Co., Ltd., of Peterboro. The Continental Lumber Co. will
also install a Kendall gang circular to take up to 8” cants.

R. O’Leary, Richibucto, N.B., is making extensions and additions Rei
to his sawmill and boxboard plant. He is installing a new rotary,
transmission machinery, furnished by the Wm. Hamilton Co., Ltd, —
of Peterboro, Ont. a

Big Lumber Order from Europe rt

The biggest order for hardwood lumber from Europe since pre-
war days is reported in Chicago, and it is believed to foreshadow
heavier lumber buying on the part of foreign interests. A syndicate
largely representing European furniture manufacturers, has placed
an order in Memphis for 50,000,000 feet of .hardwood lumber, one
hundred cars to be shipped immediately. Financial arrangements
have been completed through New York bankers who are interesting
themselves because they want to encourage the export of raw ma-
terials to help foreign exchange. a

How Spruce Wood Grows in Value

A new record was set in Ontario recently for the price of spruce
when 50 square miles situated near Jellicoe on the Canadian National
Railways, and east of Nipegon Reserve, was disposed of to J. T. Horne
of Fort William. The price paid was $6.10 a cord for spruce and 2lc
a tie for jack pine. A few days ago $6.05 was the highest bid for
spruce and previous to that $3.46 was the largest tender. This shows
the growing value of pulpwood and would indicate that there is not
likely to be any drop in that line for, at least, some time to come.

_ The Wastage of Timber

Wominion and provincial auth-
or.ties throughout Canada, while
drawing attention to the vast
wealth latent in our forests, have
at the same time issued warning
notes as to the economic limits of
forest exploitation, in view of the
large percentage of natural as well
as avoidable wastage and the im-
possibility of estimating with any
degree of accuracy the annual in-

erement in growth. ‘The total
wastage of timber every year

from fire, decay, windfalls and
floods is estimated at nearly 2,-
300,000,000 cubic feet, which is
approximately five per cent. of
the standing merchantable saw-
timber in Canada. The annual
pre-war cut of saw-timber was
400,000,000 cubic feet, and of pulp-
wood over 200,000,000 cubic feet.
The processes of felling, trans-
porting and milling reduce the
output to about 40 per cent. of the
cut in the case of saw-timber and
80 per cent. in the case of pulp-
wood. The average volume ex-
ported annually during the imme-
diate pre-war period was the
amount derived from a cut of 350,-
000,000 cubic feet of saw timber
and 100,000,000 cubic feet of pulp-
wood, or 39 per cent. and 50 per
cent. of the respective total cuts.
This does not inelude the large
quantity of pulpwood manufac-
tured in Canada into pulp or paper
and exported in these two forms.
The proportion between the out-
put of saw-timber and that of
pulpwood has considerably alter-

ed during the last decade. ‘The
Dominion Forestry Branch de-

scribes the situation as follows:

The consumption of timber for
lumber manufacture has decreased
since 1912 and ‘is still decreasing.

The estimate of the total supply -

is based on inaccurate and incom-
plete datd; the maintenance of the
supply depends on the unknown
increment rate and the very un-
certain factor of loss through for-
est fires. It is probable that the
consumption will continue to de-
crease in the future as the source
of supply moves back farther from
the lines of transportation each
year. The cost of lumber in Can-

ada will probably increase until

it becomes profitable to plant po-
tential forest land with commer-
*

"CANADA 1 LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

cial species, and to pay for effi-

‘cient protection and management

of the remaining forests. In the
case of pulpwood the utilization
is increasing rapidly as supplies
are being exhausted in the United
States. The United “States is
Canada’s chief customer for. un-
manufactured pulpwood, wood-
pulp and paper, and with the in-
creasing consumption of news-
print and other papers brought
about by increased advertising, it
would appear that Canada’s sup-
nly would be exhausted long be-
fore the four hundred years ob-
tained by an arithmetical calcu-
lation.

As long as forests products are
comparatively cheap, as they are
in Canada at the present time, no
extraordinary care will be taken
to protect and develop them. As
the price of these products in-
creases, it will become more and
more profitable to do so. The im-
mediate steps necessary are con-
nected with protection from fire,
insects and fungus diseases, and
careless or destructive utilization.
The regulation of cutting, with a
view to natural regeneration, is a
more valuable means of re-estab-
lishing forest areas in a new coun-
try like Canada than any expen-
sive system of replanting.

“i | CANADA LUMBER

-| Review of Current Trade Conditi

Ontario and the East '
There is little now characterizing the general lumber situation
except that there have been some declines in prices of western stock
and also in eastern hemlock, and jack pine. According to one whole-
saler, the result is that, instead of buying being stimulated, it is
even more different, as “such a course indicates that prices have not
yet touched rock-bottom, and until the trade is convinced that they
are as low as they possibly will or can go, there will be a certain
amount of hesitancy.” Only isolated carloads for immediate re-
quirements are now being sold, and, while inquiries in some lines are
picking up a bit, there is not likely to be any strong demand for
lumber until after the new year, and probably, it will be February
~~ or March before a revival in trade sets in. Some firms are doing a
moderate amount of business but nothing like what is customary,
although it is generally admitted that December and the last weeks
in November are usually quiet periods.

There is a disposition on the part of manufacturers, wholesalers
and retailers to proceed cautiously in all undertakings, and wood’s
operations are, on the whole, being conducted with considerably less
aggressiveness and with fewer men in camps than a year ago. Some
firms have taken their travellers off the road as they do not believe
that anything is gained by calling upon retailers when the latter are
not buying. Manufacturing concerns are also rather quiet and will

not be known until next year just how the building situation is going
to shape up and how extensive will be the demand.
While stabilized prices would, it is thought start building, there
is little likelihood of falling prices doing so. It is the experience of
building trades and retail lumbermen that stationary quotations or
--a rising market have always resulted in more structural operations
- being put under way. One large concern, which has given special
attention to the situation, says that if material men would give as-
surance either to reduce prices orto standardize them so that the con-
tractor, when figuring on a building, would know what price he has
. to pay for his material, as well as for his labor, it would be a long
‘step toward solving the building problem.
i In trade circles, the principal theme of discussion is not how
_ business is—because everyone knows, but when will the present
dull period terminate and some of the former activity be witnessed.
Western mills are closing down to an extent never known before.
Logging camps are ceasing operation, shingle plants are idle and
_ stocks of B. C. products are generally low. Prices have been cut
ih an effort to get rid of some of the stuff on hand, but even this
has not resulted in 'moving very much of the material. If there
should be a sudden revival in the lumber line and a call for heavy
quantities of B. C. siding, shiplap, interior trim and dimension, there
might be some difficulty in securing what is required.

a e
Ae It is impossible to tell, with any degree of accuracy, what the

\. future holds in store for the lumber industry. In the weeks before
the war it was not difficult to foresee events and to gauge production
and distribution accordingly. Those were the days when practical
ey business men, who were experts in their own calling, felt themselves
a on pretty sure ground. They took a survey of the future, and,
basing their predictions on past’ experience, and insight, were able
«to foretell within certain limits what was going to happen. Of course
now and then they were somewhat wide of the mark, but there was
a reasonable amount of assurance and importance attached to their
| declarations. These predictions did not take in the speculator, who
_ is always bound to have his fling, but the sane, hardheaded business

man felt that he knew market conditions and knew them intimately.
_. He had an idea of the course of development in his particular line
- and could give an opinion whether values were likely to rise or

fall.

How different is the situation to-day. Recent, conditions in the
financial, labor and industrial world, have upset all calculations, and
the questions are too big for the average man to sit down and view
calmly and confidently. Many prognostications are upset and all
the traditions of the past shattered. Everything has gone askew

and theory, while it sounds well, has been given little credence.

The hardwood market is rather quiet at the present time although
a few more inquiries have been received than there were last month.

While business has been very dull for many months
have been dropping, there is some improvement noticeable in ger
trade indications. Lumbermen generally are expecting an ea
ket improvement. Inquiries are becoming a little more plentiful
the trade generally is taking courage. No radical betterment of
ditions is looked for until the new year. The very fact that ther
a change in sentiment is a hopeful omen. At a recent meeting :
lumber association, held in the South, the president succinctly v
up the situation when he said: “Lumber is in a particularly st
position and we should not be the least apprehensive about the out-
come. With the world-wide shortage of houses, with the railre
requirements running into billions of feet, and with the latent dema
for industrial purposes almost as great, trade is bound to return so
or later, and when it does, augmented by the pent-up demand, i

That a healthier note is developing and that reports fi

sections of the country are either cheerful or re-assuring, is p

to view things in a sad, dismal light. True, there is a period of s
hesitation and a disposition to wait until manufacturing gene:
develops to a larger extent, but, with the prospects of an active
ing season, there should be a steady and sure upward movement.

In the hardwood trade there has been some streng
market values ,not so much from a domestic demand as fr
received from foreign sources. During the last few days s
business has been booked by different concerns, and this
the idea that a beginning has at last been made in the long:
foreign buying. The domestic market for hardwood, howe:

conditions. ie
So far as conditions in the South are concerned, a recent d
from Jacksonville, says: A majority of the small mills and 1
the large ones in this territory have shut down and most of tho
running are operating on short time. There has been a rather generz
wage reduction of 20 to 25 per cent. and production costs al I

smaller number of men. Some of the big mills when reducing w.

in shipping condition. Inquiries are growing more numerous and
_ there are indications of an early improvement in demand.

Word from Memphis is to the effect that an order for 50,000,000
feet of southern hardwood lumber, including practically all grades
one and two inches in thickness, for shipment to overseas markets,

has been placed by a European syndicate with a Memphis firm. The
first 100 cars, involving approximately 1,500,000 feet of hardwood
lumber, will go forward immediately. The balance will be shipped as
rapidly as three combined firms can fill the order. Placement of this
huge order for hardwood lumher is a part of the enormous plan under
way to re-establish the European balance of trade and thereby stab-
- jlize foreign exchange. Financial arrangements involved in the deal
have been made with one of the largest banks in New York city,
which has agreed to make all collections and remit to the Memphis

which have been received by Memphis lumbermen within the last few
days, all tending to indicate that the export market is reviving.

It is difficult to analyze the lumber situation at the present time.
There are so many current and cross-currents that it is difficult to
‘analyze the business situation. Business has been at a very low ebb
for some time and the depression caused by the recent strike has been
somewhat counteracted by energetic measures taken by the authorities
' to advance the pace of house-building. It is announced that buying
on f.o.b., terms is almost at an end for the season, and c.i.f. purchases
have been small and confined to bills of lading containing current
sizes and these have been offered cheaply.
- It cannot, of course, be denied that a drop of some pounds per
‘standard has now occurred on practically all classes of wood, except
certain sizes in favorite stocks, and,in. specialties, says “Timber.”
_. “Has the bottom been reached?” is the question now occupying the
minds of all. Two main influences have been at work—the difficulty
of financing large stocks, and the slow pace of the consumption. Not
anticipating such a dragging market, many importers purchased, as
. it turned out, too heavily, and they have been forced to liquidate a
portion of their stocks. Others took a wrong view of the market,
and, finding their contracts unprofitable, decided to cut their losses

Quebec Business Has Not Come Up to Expectations

He Up to the end of September, the Quebec lumber export trade
was fairly good, and even up to the first weeks of November, con-
siderable wood was shipped overseas. But the export to the United
. Kingdom was not up to expectation and this added to the dullness
9 of the United States Market, has left the timber and sawn lumber
in stock abundant and beyond the anticipation of the trade. These

- conditions with the decline in the price of wood, have caused the manu-
facturing interests to do a good deal of thinking as to their plans
by for manufacturing this winter. ‘The decline in the price of wood
«has not, however, interfered with the demand of labor which is:still
in a militant mood for more money. The result is, that the big
Quebec firms will not operate their limits and mills to any great ex-
tent this coming winter.

One of the heads of a leading Quebec timber and lumber firm,
discussing the situation with the correspondent of the “Canada Lum-
berman,” said there are several features in connection with the busi-
ness these days, that are the cause for careful consideration. In the

first place, there is the decline of prices in the market with a possible
- Jower level, secondly the wage demand by labor, thirdly the scarcity
of men required to work in the woods, they being attracted by higher
remuneration for their services in the pulpwood business, and lastly,
the need of money, the banks being reluctant to make the necessary
' advances to carry on, and tell us that we are carrying large stocks
at our storage depots, which should be disposed off before entering
into any further new operations.

The pulpwood interests also complain of a dull market at the pres-

when there was a fear of the transport workers participa’

there are now signs of a better tone. The long period of inactivity, o

filled up directly merchants are convinced that the time has come te

season is over, and the pressure of forced sales at all sorts of price:
ceases to disturb the market. November is certainly opening wit
a little more business, and although there is no sign o ohe
figures, there is more disposition to buy, and this, in itself, is ver
often an indication that the pendulum has commenced to swing in th
opposite direction. The moment this is evident, a fairly brisk tra

and size. >

Trade with the West Indies would be very good if space for
lumber could be provided, but very little space is granted and this
certainly is most detrimental to expansion of business. If some move
is not made to force more space or sailings the lumber business from
the West Indies will show a decided falling off, and be lost to Cana-
dians for all time. The The Royal Mail Packet S. S. Co. are well

‘subsidized and the Canadian Government should certainly see they

provide enough salings to accommodate increased business.

As to factory conditions, the trade is good and does not seem
to show the.same falling off as many other lines, considerable new
work in the interior of the country and city repair work keeps the
plants well supplied with business. f

Shingle and laths are extremely hard to see at all at any price,
and the American prices show little profit and little demand, of course,
both of these articles feel the reductions probably earlier than any
other lumber line. Labor for mills and woods is very plentiful and
wood wages are easier.

Ottawa Reports That Conditions are Dull

A general slump in business together with a decline in price in
some grades along with the prospect that wages in the wood camps
might be reduced, were the outstanding features of the Ottawa lumber
market during the closing period of November.

The market on the whole was the quietest that has been ex-
perienced at this, or any other season, for a number of years. Several
of the retailers and manufacturers openly described it as being “dead,”
and the post mortum outlook, was that a revival of trade or good
business could hardly be expected for some months.

The decline in prices amounted to about five dollars per M.
and chiefly effected the spruce and hemlock grades. White and red
pine prices continued to remain firm, though there was practically no
trading in them. Manufacturers or holders of stocks of shingle and
lath did not care to give any quotations for publication for these
commodities and consequently the price ‘list in this direction remained
unaltered. There is practically no demand for either lath or shingles
at the present time so it is almost impossible to tell what the real
market price is, for the reason that there does not appear to be any
market was the comment of one of the leading Ottawa manufacturers
when asked by the “Canada Lumberman” as to quotations on these
stocks,

The consensus of opinion given for the decline in business was
that a period of readjustment was now being entered into by the

_ lumbering trade as well as the mercantile trade, and other lines of

industry providing products for public consumption. The Presidential
elections in the United States and the unsettled industrial and busi-

-ness conditions in many lines of industry and consumption, coupled

with the uncertainty of labor, from the camp end, a month ago, were
cited as being three of the chief causes for the drop in orders, inquiries,
and business as a whole.

Look at it any way you want to, history shows that for a period
previous and after an election, and until inauguration of the incoming
government takes place, there is a falling off of business. The same
applies to the last Presidential elections in the United States as it
is true of any other such time in the lumber market, was the comment
of a leading manufacturer. - Another view taken was that much un-
certainty existed in construction circles as to what was. going to be
done next spring. Consequently among wholesalers it was not con-
sidered good business to buy new stocks, and carry them over, unless
an apparent outlet, appeared for them.

From the American yards there was practically no orders or in-
quiries received. Empty freight cars were plentiful and shippers with
sad eyes heard of their arrival and departure at Ottawa terminals,
and regretted their leaving with freight other than lumber or lumber
products. A year or two-ago these Same cars or their twins had
to be fought after by lumber companies, to get shipments already on
or behind order to their destinations. During November the old
order of the last four or five years was all reversed. In the great
majority shipments on order were out of Ottawa and the “works”

pretty well cleaned up, with everybody exhibiting a new eagerness”

to go after business and land it.

Bad as business was, there were no evidences of stock holders
going up in the air over the situation or tossing their stocks into the
open market in a panicy fashion. The stocks held have cost them a lot
of money to procure with the last two years, and-while ready to do
business at lowered prices in some grades they are not throwing any
stock away, and some of them were inclined to hang onto it until
next spring.

From the woods end operations, the offering of labor was reported
to be quite adequate if not plentiful, to meet existing requirements,
and reports were also heard that throughout the Ottawa Valley there
was to be a curtailment of bush operations. To the knowledge of the

-

correspondent of the “Canada Lumbermen,” it has been de
the part of some companies to cut down the number of their car
The writer at this date feels safe in making the prophesy

and that there will be an all round come down in | :
To the north west of the Ottawa Valley and in the
district, some companies are not going to operate at all.
In the Ottawa Valley generally there is going to be a cu
ment which is in strong contrast with the views expressed by lumbe:
operators last August and September who apparently had map ped
out or at least announced a bigger logging programme for thi,
season. a
_ During the latter part of September and in October the se
question arose with the operators of finding sufficient men to
their camps. Many men formerly known to have gone to the woo
were attracted to other work at high wages, and the general elie
was expressed that the increase in construction this year was givir
employment to an unusually large number of general sboray n
others. Consequently the lumber companies with an in ore
duction programme before them were figurately “stumped” as —
whether to go ahead and take a chance, or be safe and cut do
programme. The latter course has been pretty much deci¢ pon,
outside of the pulpwood companies. Consequently there is an e ‘
of woods laboravailable at the present time and it is doubt’ ‘if the
companies can find room in their curtailed operation to employ
those who would now go to the woods. Had the same amo
labor been available in November, been on hand in late ptember
a great deal different story regarding woods production might b
written or told of the Ottawa Valley bush operations for 192 :
In addition to there apparently being an over abundance of
willing to go tn the woods, there were strong rumors that there wz
to be drop in woods labor wages around the first of the year. Tim
will have a prove the truth of this, as the November labor market
Ottawa, while remaining stationary in prices in comparison with
October, indicated a considerably lessened call for workers. SS
It is going to be oneiof the hardest winters that lumber com-
panies and the transient woods workers have ever had. Th ‘pro
duction is not going to equal last year so we will not need the sam
number of men we thought we would, and which were not aval |
in September for our woods operation, was the explanation of a
known Ottawa Valley lumber operation, for the decrease
number of men he would require. ee Ses
Factory conditions also. felt -the effect of the set back”;

ernment in the spring of 1919 is now being moved into storage at
Halifax, from which point, it is presumed, it will be shipped when
market conditions warrant. It is estimated there will be in the
vicinity of 25,000 M. feet of spruce stored at Halifax and adjacent
points by the end of the year, comprising the balance of this old stock.

One of the most serious obstacles to marketing deals from the
Lower Ports on the British Market is the high ocean freight rate.

It is true there has been a substantial reduction from the unpre-
cedented rate ruling during the war, but shippers still maintain that the
rate is so high as to prevent them doing business ata profit. It is now
felt that in view of the enormous tonnage offering, a considerable re-
duction should soon be expected. The present rate of 200s. is exor-
bitant, and there is a strong disposition among shippers that con-
serted action should be taken to have the rate reasonably modified. A
few years ago, the Dept. of Trade and Commerce proposed to make a
full investigation of the matter of Ocean Freight Rates, as there were
serious complaints received from many quarters, that the tariff charged
by the Steamship Companies was excessive. Presumably before this
investigation was completed the war started, and to-day we have the
rates many times greater than they were at that ime. It is felt that
if the demands for an investigation were justified then, that the De-
partment should now complete its investigation under present day
conditions.

Immediately after the close of the war, stocks in Britain were so
seriously reduced that Nova Scotia and New Brunswick deals found
a ready market at prices that left a fair margin of profit, in spite of the
very high water rates then prevailing, but now that the shortage has
been overtaken, and prices have declined, shippers here are of the
opinion that these stocks cannot now be placed on the British market
in competition with Swedish goods unless there is a substantial reduc-
tion in transportation charges.

The American Market remains inactive and shipments have almost
reached the vanishing point. Reports from across the line indicate
that the yards have very small stocks on hand, and the opinion is
expressed by some exporters that early in the New Year we may expect
to see a decided improvement take place, while others think that no
great change in general business conditions may be expected until after
the new Administration takes office in March.

The demand locally shows little change. Prices are about station-
ary, but little stock is moving. This is not unusual, as building activ-
ities, as a rule, slow down at this time of year. Most of the larger con-
tracts are nearing completion, only inside work remaining to be done,
and it is not expected that much new work will be begun until after the
rough weather is over.

Weather conditions have been ideal during the past two months
for work in the woods. Under ordinary corfditions next year would
See a cut well up to the average, but from present indications, lumbert-
ing operations will be very much curtailed during the coming winter.

Some of the larger Companies have camps in the woods, but the
small operators who get out by far the larger proportion of the year’s
cut, have done practically nothing. Some of the camps that were in
earlier in the season have been withdrawn, and unless conditions show
some signs of improvement in the near future, work in the woods,

in many parts of the Province, will be at a stand still, and as a result | t :

a serious labor situation may develop.

Newsy Jottings from the West

An increase in the assessment to be paid by owners of timber
in British Columbia seems inevitable. The present rate is two cents
an acre, but an advance to at least three cents will probably be agreed
upon shortly and made the basis of new legislation. It is stated
by forest officials that the present charge is inadequate to meet the
costs of forest protection, for which the timber assessment fund
is used. This year $314,000 was available for forest protection, half
this amount being made up from timber assessments and the other
half contributed by the provincial government on a fifty-fifty basis
agreed upon some years ago. The amount actually spent this year
for forest protection was approximately $525,000, and half this sum
was spent in fighting fires, so it may be seen that the present method
of raising funds does not meet requirements. Expansion of popula-
tion into the forested Section of the province naturally results in an
increased fire hazard, and provision must be made for meeting this.
Definite recommendations on the subject will be decided upon at a
meeting of the Forest Protection Committee, representative of oper-
ators and government forest officials, which will be held in Victoria,
November 17.

Practicability of Aerial Patrol for Forest Survey Work and Fire Protection Being

Quebec Taking Stock

The Quebec Provincial Government is at present perfecting an
organization, not only for the conservation and protection of its
wealth of forests, but organizing a systematic method of survey that
in the course of the next few years will place the Government in a
position to know with approximate accuracy the latest area of forest
reserves Of the province, including the vast areas of the Abitibi,
the northern regions of the’ Lake St. John and Lake Misstassini
and Ungava regions. The new Prime Minister, Hon. L. A. Tas-
chereau, who is a tireless and conscientious worker, is sparing no time
or effort since he assumed office four months ago, to enter into and
master every detail of the various departments under hs administra-
‘tion, who are not only presided over by able and conscientious cabinet
colleagues but capable deputy ministers and efficient staffs of assist-
ants, but to become personally familiar with the entire system of
Government and enable him to better administer the affairs of the
province in the interest of the public. A student from his boyhood
days and a man with a human side to his charter, who will ever

be found to carry on his important duties as premier with impartial -

justice to all men, is his vision of things as he sees them. It is
prognosticated by those who have known him from his youth and
followed his career in politics that he will not only make an ideal
premier but one of the best the province of Quebec has ever had to
preside over its destinies.

Organizing an Aeroplane Service

There are two essential resources of the province that Mr. Tas-
chereau aims to learn all about, foster, protect and develop the forest
and mineral wealth of the province. He is now engaged in a
thorough study of the Crown Lands and timber limits, and it will not
be his fault if even a branch of a tree is wasted. Now the forestry
branch of the Lands and Forests Department, in charge of Mr.G. C.
Piche, with his assistant, Mr. Bedard, are working on the organization
of an aeroplane and hydroplane service for the mapping of the forests
in the northern districts of the Lake St. John and the Ungava, that
¢an be mapped from the air. On November 5th, when it became
known that the hydroplane and aeroplane station organized by the
department, had been established at Roberval in the district of ‘Lake
St. John, Mr. G, C. Piche, chief of the Forestry branch, his assistant,
Mr. Bedard, with the following-named experts, proceeded there to
take observations of operations: Messrs. Henry Kieffer, C. E. Bryan
O’Hara, assistant of forest fire protection, Clyde Leavitt, forester
in connection ‘with Commission of Conservation, Ottawa, Major
Gorden of Air Board, Henri Methot, forester for district of Lake
St. John; the manager of Laurentian Forest-Fire Protective Associa-
tion, B. Guerin, Manager of South St. Lawrence Forest Fire Protec-
tive Association, and Capt. Keny of Dominion Air Board. On
arrival of the party at Roberval and after an inspection of the hydro-
plane station there, flights were made over the Lake St. John and its
neighboring sections, to take observations of the forest districts that
could be mapped out from the air, and learn the practicability of
an air patrol for fire protection and forest survey work.

Mr. Bedard, assistant chief of the Forest Service, discussing
the result of their experience and observations with the correspondent
of the “Canada Lumberman,” said from the viewpoint of their ob-
servations, that they had come to the conclusion that surveying and
mapping of forest properties by the aid of the hydroplane would be
of great assistance. The weather owing to the lateness of the season
when they made their observations from the air, was not as propitious
as they would wish, nevertheless they had gleaned sufficient in their
short time of experience to understand that the hydroplane and aero-
plane would render valuable service in the future. He said the de-
partment was in the present only experimenting and could not say at
the present time if such a system of protection would be altogether
practical from a forest viewpoint.

Carry Out Extensive Survey

“It is contemplated,” said Mr. Bedard, “to carry on an extensive
survey over the Misstassini lake region as far as the James Bay with
the object to obtain a general idea of the forest resources which are
lying north of the Lake St. John and the Ungava territory. The
explorations made up to the present, have been confined to a few river
valleys only of the Ungava, and every effort will be made to discover
the possibilities of this territory which is thought to be enormous.

Pulpwood and Its

Will Take Out 150,000 Cords of Pulpwood
The Mattagami Pulp & Paper Co., Limited, Smooth Rock Falls,
Ont., of which J. T. Moyihan is general manager and A. Grunwald
is mill superintendent, is very busy at the present time and is ship-
ping large quantities of its sulphite fibre to Great Britain and the
United States. The present capacity of the plant is 30,000 tons a
anticipated
that the output for 1921 will be, at least, 45,000 tons. The power
development of 10,000 h.p. will be increased by the development of
other power sites to provide for contemplated future expansion.
Smooth Rock Falls is located on the Government Railway about
thirty miles west of Cochrane. The town is owned and developed
by the company and has housing accommodations for about seven
hundred persons. All modern civic and domestic improvements are
in evidence.
, The company will take out 150,000 cords of pulpwood this year.
The logs are floated to the mill booms at Smooth Rock Falls and
‘ there recovered mechanically and delivered to the stock-pile or wood-
room as required. P. E. Whalen of Timmins, is woods manager. The
timber resources of the company cover extensiye lease hold limits,
supplemented by 125 square miles of heavily-wooded freehold lands,
which are owned outright. The aggregate area of woodlands is
1000 square miles, all easily accessible to water for driving. Duncan
Chisholm, of Toronto, is president of the company, and Col. D. M.
Robertson is secretary-treasurer.
The company recently completed an operatives’ dormitary, dining
hall and kitchen buildings at a cost of $200,000. They are of fire-proof
- construction, steam heated and possess many other important features.

New Depot Opened at Les Escoumains

The recent purchase of timber limits aggregating 404 square
miles at Les Escoumains, Saguenay county, Quebec, has been an-
nounced by the Laurentide Company. The property has been held
and operated by the Saguenay Lumber Company, of Portland, Maine.
It is estimated that in the area there are about 1,500,000 available
cords of pulpwood, and this winter plans are under way to cut about
10,000 cords.

Les Escoumains is 145 miles below Quebec city on the St. Law-
rence River, on the north shore, and is thirty-two miles east of the
Saguenay River and the city of Tadousac. It is a town of about. one
thousand inhabitants, and in taking over the timber limits, the com-
pany has also taken over the entire town, which includes a large
general store and the post office and telegraph office. The principal
occupation pf the residents there is working in the bush.

Canada Leads in Pulp Products

Canada’s supremacy as the leading producer of pulp and paper
products is assured not only for the present, but for many years to
come, according to The Financial News of London, which traces the
growth of the industry in Canada in comparison with other countries.
The available resources of European countries are described as insig-
nificant when compared with those of Canada and the United States.

Norway is expected to produce this year 150,000 tons of newspaper ;
Sweden, 175,000 tons, and Finland, 100,000 tons. Their sum total of
425,000 tons hardly amounts to one-half of the Canadian. production.
In value it is equally far behind:

The Canadian calculate, it is pointed out, that only two more
years will be needed to raise their output of pulp ‘to 1,000,000 tons per
annum. In the past six years—1914 to 1920—it has shown an average
growth of 70,000 tons a year. Over the whole six years it amounts
to 144 per cent. But the rise in value has far outstripped the increase

in quantity. The article proceeds as follows:

The only cloud on this brilliant horizon is the comparatively small
‘share which the mother country has in it. From 75 to 80 per cent. of
the total output crosses the border into the States. The British market
is said to be too distant, and the freights nowadays too expensive for
Jarge shipments to cross the Atlantic. The timber limits of Quebec
and the Maritime provinces can still reach the British market, but our

Mr. Helge Grasland, of Stockholm, Sweden, is also in Canada, having —
been sent by the Stockholm University and Baron Mannerhein to look
into the question of the scientific production of pulp and paper here.

It will be seen that there is growing up an international co- —
operation which should make for mutual interest. x, ;

As to forestry methods, we have on previous occasions printed
articles drawing attention to the Scandinavian methods of forestry
and of the manufacture of lumber. Scandinavian countries compete —
with Canada in Great Britain particularly, and it has been often as-
serted that the manufacture of lumber in Scandinavia compares very
favorably with that of Canada, and that the millmen in the former
countries pay far greater attention to the needs of the British buyer.
Mr. Beck will be able to investigate this at, first hand.

The Dollar is Beginning to Buy More

The dollar is. beginning to buy more. It now buys quite a lot
more at wholesale, and is gradually beginning to buy more at retail.
The dollar will buy a pound or two more sugar. It will buy more
coffee. It will buy more rice. You now get more for your dollars
when you go to buy shoes. You can buy the same dress or the
same suit for less money. The merchant gives you more cotton goods
for a dollar. A five-dollar-bill buys about twice as much silk as it
did a year ago. When a lady goes to buy furs, her purse doesn’t —
have to be quite as bulging as formerly. You still get little
for your dollar at most butchers. Bakers, too, are still | ing
tenaciously to prices that have a war-time flavor—a coffee ring that —
used to cost ten cents now costs twenty-five cents in our neighbor-
hood—nothwithstanding that grain prices have declined. — Many
chemicals have: tumbled headlong. Lumber is down from five to
thirty-five per cent., depending on the quality. Men’s hats for the
fall have not been marked at the fancy prices predicted. You ‘cas
get more than four collars for a dollar. Automobiles are likely to —
follow. Ford’s lead. Potatoes are no longer worth their weight in —
gold. Apples promise to become cheap now that they are so plentiful.

In short, whereas the dollar bill used to buy less than fifty cents’
worth, it is already worth more than half a dollar in purchasing»
power. It should, and doubtless w.ll, recover appreciably more, but
not probably a very great deal. The prospects are that there will
be declines in those commodities and raw materials and finished
products which have thus far resisted the downward trend, but that —
those things which have already fallen severely will not go con-
siderably lower—Forbes Magazine. i

Many lumberjacks are required in the lumber camps of Ontario and Que- —
bec. Wages as high as $80 per‘month with board are offered by the compa’ nies:

oil, asphalt, fish, etc., awaiting only means of transportation. ~ a

Fire broke out recently in the lumber yard of A. Pedwell, of Fairban
a suburb of Toronto, and resulted in the loss of a million and a half feet of
lumber, which was piled on the premises. The loss is about $50,000, covered
by insurance to the extent of $30,000. Mr. Pedwell’s home was also wiped
out by the flames, the loss being $3,500, and covered by insurance. Ww. j.

There is some second growth pine, white birch, red oak and a little hardwood —

_ feet of lumber were stowed away in the hold of the steel steamship Margaret
Coughlan in a twelve-hour working day. Most of the men in the crews are
_ Indians who have been loading lumber since boyhood.

, It is said that the Nashwaak Pulp & Paper Co. of St. John, N. B., are
paying as high as $90.00 and $95.00 for men to.work on their operations this
season, and these figures have secured all the labor they require for their pulp-
| _ wood operations. Lumber companies are paying from $70.00 to $75.00, and in
’ view of the outlook and with a curtailed cut, declare they will not be justified in
'. paying any more.,

i A federal charter has) been granted the Canusa Export Co., Limited, with
_ headquarters at Montreal and a capital stock of $200,000. The company is em-
_ powered to purchase, lease, etc., timber licenses and limits, and to construct
_ or otherwise acquire, operate, control, manage and deal in mills of various de-
_ scriptions, including those for the manufacturing and finishing of logs and lum-

ber, and all products or by-products of wood.

Whalen Pulp & Paper Mills, Swanson Bay, exceeded during the month
of October the production of any similar month, turning out 1,203. tons of
_ high-grade pulp. The lumber and shingle mills of the company have also
_ been quite active considering the quiet state of the market. The leading
_ officers of the Whalen Pulp & Paper Mills recently made a tour of the com-

_ pany’s plants. Hon. T. W. McGarry of Toronto, president of the comnpany,
headed the party.
” While running with the wind and sea, bound from Parrsboro to St. John,
with a cargo of lumber, the schooner Mildred K. ran on a sand bar off Martin
_ Head, eighteen, miles northeast of St, Martins, starting the rudder post, strain-
ing the vessel somewhat and throwing overboard some of the deck load of
lumber. The vessel has been towed inside the breakwater at St. Martins
Head and was safe there. The lumber lost in the'accident has been salvaged
_ and is on the docks.

A recent despatch from Fredericton, N. B., says that an immense trans-
action involving the purchase of the New Brunswick Railway Company’s
_ timber lands at approximately $11,000,000, which was to have been completed

by the Fraser Companies, Limited, recently, has not yet been closed. Archi
_ bald Fraser said that the consumption of the deal had been “postponed.” and
added that “no big deals are being put through just now.” For continuing the
_ option which they have on the New Brunswick Railway Company’s lands the
_ Fraser interests have been paying $25,000 a month for some time now.

Henry King, of St. John, N. B., has recently put a large crew of men at
_ work at Mispec, N. B., cutting pulp wood. Considerable small timber has
Iready been cut down and yarded, and machinery is being set up to bark the
- wood on the ground. It is expected that by next spring there will be at least
5,000 cords of pulp wood ready for shipment. The export of native wood to be
used in the pulp and Paper industry has been on the increase within the past
_ year, especially along the Valley Railway route. C. G. M. M. steamers have
taken several cargoes of native timber cut in short lengths and barked ‘to
_ Maine.
,§ Dr. Y. W. Swain, of the Forest Insects section’ of the entomological
branch of the Dominion Department of Agriculture, was in Vancouver lately
on his annual tour and at the request of the Park Board gave a talk to the
members on the best’ methods of conversing the trees in Stanley Park.
‘Dr. Swain stated that it was too late to save any of the spruce, but that
some of the hemlock might yet be saved. It was of the greatest importance to
y cut out all the dead standing timber and let in light and air. Such timber was
an eye sore and a danger. The Douglas fir and cedar were in good condition
and Dr. Swain advised that reproduction be confined to these species.

Orientals employed in many of the lumber mills ‘of British Columbia are
_ being discharged and only white help retained, according to statements by men
losely in touch with conditions in the industry here. This decision, it is
ted, was arrived at recently by a large number of the mills, and an-
uncement that one mill has dispensed with all its Oriental help is said to
but part of the general move along that line. Whilé some of the lumbermen
t out that the discharging of Orientals by some of the mills is simply a
to reduce their staffs, owing to existing conditions in the lumber market,
ct is not denied that one or two of the mills have replaced Oriental help

ditional white help. On the other hand, it is stated, with the return
eased demands upon the trade, if white help is not available it is prob-

Extra Fancy Molasses |

"

We know you serve Molasses to your Lumber-
jacks. Have you ever tried our “OPEN-KETTLE”
blend? We have a way of blending several kind of
‘syrups and molasses into one, giving the right taste.

You probably know that Blended Tea has a better
flavor than unblended. You will find that same ap-
plies to MOLASSES. Of course not all Blended Tea
tastes alike and not all Blended Molasses would ap-
peal to you.

Read what Dr. Milton Hersey (Industrial Chemist)

has to say:

| 118 ST. PAUL STREET, W.

“We have tested and analyzed a sample of your
“Open-Kettle blend fancy Molasses” and find it
made of a good quality of syrups and molasses, free
from any impurities. It has a high food value. Our
tests indicate it is well adapted for eating and table
purposes.”

We suggest that you give us a trial order for a car- —

load of our “OPEN-KETTLE” Blend at $1.00 per

December 1, 1920 CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

No. 708, 48
Band Resaw

is a heavy substantial machine, very power-
ful and convenient to operate. It is built
for general work in furniture, box factor-
ies and planing mills. We enumerate. be-
low a number of features in which it excels.

Upper wheel is sup-
ported by two posts on
either side and is not
overhung, insuring
alignment and freedom
from vibration at all
times.

Feed is positive, con-

sisting of six 4” rolls
powerfully driven by
spur -and bevel gears
machine cut from the
solid. Six changes of
feed are obtainable.

Machine regularly
equipped with 5” blade.

Powerful drive is in-
sured by wide driving
pulleys.

This Band Resaw is built with the same care and attention
to detail which characterizes all C.M.C. machines. It is a
“quality machine for quantity production” as evidenced by the
driving power and convenience of operation embodied in same.

Head Office: Montreal F. H. Hopkins & Co., Limited Branch: Toronto

[This machine is shipped with the knives set on the
cylinders and a gauge for that setting.:

The cylinders are two in number on one machine and
each has three knives.

They work under metal cover to prevent all accidents
to set the knives, making them very strong, and in-
suring almost, absolute immunity from breakage.

They work under metal cover to prevent all accidents
to the machines or to the men working with it.

The cylinder should run 1,000 to 1,200 revolutions per
minute.

The feeding system is entirely a new one: the wood is
placed at the end opposite to the levers on a set of
cog wheels on one side, and a set of gears on the other
side, but not farther than the second gear. The gears
run very much slower in the opposite way of the cylin-
ders making the logs turn on itself, thus taking the
bark all around. The cog-wheels being placed in a
bevel shape, in their revolutions, carry the wood over
the first cylinder, which cuts the knots and lumps,
takes the most part of the bark, leaving only the spots
or a small cut for the second cylinder.

The gear before the second cylinder is adjustable and
controls the thickness of the second cut by means of
one of the levers at the hand of the operator, who can
give the cut, only when the spots are over that cylin-
der and take it off just after to save the waste.

ALLIGATOR BRAND HARNESS |

No one realizes more fully the necessity for thoroughly dependable harness
than the lumberman. It is here perhaps that harness is put to the most rigid
tests, where only the strongest will stand the wear and strain of heavy haulage
over unbroken ground. It is here, too, that faulty workmanship or poor material
may spell disaster for horses and driver.

Let your selection then be a wise one Choose a product that has made good
in this particular work.

As Clean as a Whistle

N° coughing, choking—or ‘‘cussing” is heard in

the modern planing mill.

Gone are the fearful clouds of dust—no sawdust or
shavings litter the floor, or clog the machines.

What is the solution of this remarkable change?

The answer is:— |

a | | (TRADE MARK)
| aiing Mill Exhausters

A onder tl system that snatches the sawdust and shavings
right from the cutting tool, and bears them away in a twink-
ling. It is the powerful blast of air in the Sturevant Ex-
hausters that keeps the plant as clean as a whistle, and _ pre-
serves the health of the workers.

y _ A Sturtevant Planing
Be re ras tee Mall System
* a Prevents fire, because it allows no refuse to a

gather to form a fire risk.

—Keeps the atmosphere free of dust, thereby
i preventing throat and lung diseases among those
Be iste who work in the plant. |

: - —Allows no refuse or litter to clog the machines and |
eee | hold up production. i

| Waterous “Trouble-Proof”
Haulup Chains

The efficiency of your haulup depends directly on the strength and the wearing qualities
of your log chain. Waterous Chains have more than their share of both. They are
built of selected materials. The shop work on them is of the very best. They are
tested and inspected before shipment.

Next time you order—think of “Trouble Proof”—and specify “Waterous.”

_ Waterous Forged Bull Chain

This chain is forged from the best re-
fined wrought iron. It is 6 inch pitch
and is built in seven sizes, ranging in
weight from 21, lbs. to 15 Ibs. per foot.
Iron, steel and wood specials of various
forms are supplied with this chain. It
can be used on all size Bull Wheels and
is also adapted for Rough Wood and
Refuse Conveyors.

Short Link and Long Link Coil Chain

For strength and general usefulness
this chain is hard to beat. Fifteen sizes
are built ranging in weight from 150
Ibs. to 2,335 Ibs. per 100 feet. Only the
best chain iron is used in its manufac- -
ture, welds are exceptionally long and
carefully made, and all links are tested
for size and uniformity before leaving

he the shops.

/ Waterous All Steel Haulup Chain

The heaviest, largest logs can be hand-
led on this chain. It is the longest liv-
ed and cleanest chain we build. It is 8
inch pitch throughout and carries a
heavy cast steel special spaced every 6
feet. Side bars, centre links and con-
i CAWATEROUS ) = 2: necting pins are all of steel, the links
and bars being drilled for the reception
of the pins.

We also build Malleable Log Chain, Roller Haulup Chain, Chain for Pulpwood and for
Saw Dust Conveyors.

LEADERSHIP

There's always a leader. In every
business, in every district you'll find
them—the leading grocer—the lead-
ing druggist—the place where you
can get the best there is.

People get to know those places and
patronize them. The leading store
then, invariably is the busy store.

It's the same in the lumbering field.
_ There's always a leading lumber mer-
chant in every district. And the
leadership is attained in much the
same way—selling good goods to-day,

How to Reduce Costs |
of Building

Buy our “Utility” grades of Siding (made
in Sitka Pine or Fir), and Flooring (Fir only).
They effect a 20% saving. They satisfy the
contractor because no extra labor cost is
necessary and consumers appreciate the re-
ceipt of maximum value for their dollar. If
you have not used “Utility” grades, write us
—no others produce them.

We See No Hides On the Fence

The Commission to investigate the administration of affairs in the Crown Lands Department of Ontario was appointed

on March 9th, 1920, by the Provincial Legislature. The next session of the Legislature has been called to meet on January 25th,

nearly a year after the the Timber Commission was named, and yet no report is ready for presentation nor is there any

likeiihood of the inquiry-being concluded for some months. The work has been proceeded with in an altogether too indifferent and
haphazard a manner. Little wonder is it that the people are demanding something in the way of more definite results.

No fair-minded, unprejudiced individual desires to see the labors of the Commission curbed or restrained in any direction.

On the other hand, everything should be pressed with the utmost vigor, all wrong-doing exposed and all offenders brought

to justice.

to malign his personal character or integrity.”

While this is the utterance of the new leader, yet the representatives of the party, assembled in convention, on the very
same day, passed a resolution to the effect that a “so-called timber probe” had been
to fix the edium of fraudulent and dishonest dealing upon them,” and that the interim reports have been “unfair” and “biased”
and confined to the administration of the late Government. A protest was also entéred against the alleged political character
of the Commission as subverting the “dignity and the independence of the bench.”

_ It is easy to condemn and denounce, to hurl charges of partisanship and animus.

It is time that the playing to the gallery ceased and the cries of political persecution dropped. Let the Timber Com-
mission go thoroughly into all matters covering the last quarter of a century, and every transaction, whether under a Liberal or
a Conservative regime, against which there is a breath of suspicion, be completely exposed. No matter whose “hides are nailed

on the fence,” justice should and must prevail.

Getting More Efficiency from Busence

In all bush operations during the last three or four years lum-
bermen of Ontario, Quebec and the other provinces have complained
bitterly and justly about the inefficiency of the lumberjack—his rest-
less disposition and the constant “jumping of his job.” Lumber and
logging organizations have lost thousands upon thousands of dollars
by paying the transportation of these men to the camps, only to have
them leave without cause on two or three days’ notice, and in some
instances not going to work at all.

Then the organization in the woods has been constantly upset
by a stream of ingoers and outgoers. One has no conception of how
- restless men have been during the past few years, while their effic-
_. iency has decreased from 33 per cent. to 50 per cent. An illuminating

example of the nomadic spirit of the ordinary bushwhacker is shown
in a report sent to the “Canada Lumberman” recently by an operator
in Northern Ontario. During the past summer, from the beginning
‘of April to the end of September—six months—the firm had on its
payroll 1,155 different men, and the average staff was 125 men. One
may gain from these figures some conception of the number who
“came and went”; in fact, it is declared that frequently there were
as many laborers leaving as were preparing to go to work. The board
was satisfactory, the sleeping quarters -
' thoroughly modern, hot and cold shower
‘baths were provided and-no excessive
hours piled upon the workers, yet such
was the ebb and flow to the travelling fra-
ternity that production was far from be-
ing what it should be. Hundreds of men
lost many dollars in moving from place to
place without any valid excuse or reason.
Now there is a surplus of labor, and
men, who were formerly hanging back,
are anxious to secure jobs in the woods;
in fact employment offices are besieged
by many for whom they cannot find any-
thing to do. Several operators have writ-
_ ten the “Canada -~Lumberman” saying
' that the present wave of unemployment
has brought them relief, in that it is
making men, who are already engaged in
logging operations, more efficient, con-
tented and progressive. For the first
_ time in years they’ are not leaving in
_ droves, but are quite disposed to hang
on to the positions which they have,
_ knowing that if they step out, many
others are willing to step in, so large are
the number of applicants at various centers. The crews in the bush
are giving visible evidence of increased production. Some logging
~ companies have reduced wages and it is stated that others will follow
by the beginning of the new year.

to)

It is a long lane that has no turn and an ill wind that does not
_ benefit some one. The logging and lumbering companies, after many
years of loss, patience, discouragement and difficulty are at last being
- rewarded by a more faithful performance of duty, fewer complaints,
more continuity of service and greater output on the part of their
bushmen. In the past it has been a case of the operator seeking men
- -and offering all sorts of inducement in order to get out his timber.
To-day conditions are reversed and fellows, who never could be
induced to leave the city with its brilliant lights, picture shows and
music halls, are now grateful for employment at even considerably’
less money than has been paid during the past few years.

S

The aeroplane has at last come in answer to the prayers of the
timber cruiser. Few of ‘us, who have bucked the brush with packs

_. on our backs have not longed for wings that we might clear the im-

peding rocks, muskegs and windfalis and also that we might obtain
a bird’s-eye-view of the lay of the land. I might also add that some

of us had little hope of acquiring them while we were on that job.

The old saying that one cannot see the forest for the trees is
often true, but when flying over a tract one can see it spread out before
him like a map the lakes, muskegs, burned areas and green timber
and can record these observations with greater accuracy than is pos-
sible from ground reconnaissance without a very intensive survey.

In estimating timber two factors are necessary, first, the areas
of the waste land and of the various types of forest, and second, the
average stand of timber on each type. he areas can be secured from
an aerial survey more accurately and in a small fraction of the time

- required by a ground survey. The composition of the stand and the
relative quantities of timber can be judged within certain limits by an
experienced observer, but, knowing the location and extent of the
timbered areas, the estimator can eliminate the waste areas and confine
his cruising to the productive lands and with a comparatively small
amount of ground work can secure definite information as to quan-
tities of timber.

Transportation is an important item in conducting a forest
survey. It frequently costs as much and takes as much time to get

a survey party to and from the tract to be examined as is required by
the actual survey. In regions where lakes or large rivers are numer-
ous, such as in eastern Canada, almost any area can be reached by
a sea-plane or flying-boat in an hour or two from the existing means
of transportation. Distances which require weeks of canoeing and
portaging can be covered in almost as many hours by air-craft, as

_these machines travel at a rate of 60 miles or more an hour.

_ Through the co-operation of the Air Board, an experiment in
aerial forest reconnaissance was conducted this autumn in the vicinity
of Timiskaming lake by the Commission of Conservation and the

Entomological Branch of the Department of Agricuiture. Dr. J. M.
Swaine, Chief of the Division of Forest Insects, by observations of the
defoliated spruce and balsam trees, succeeded’ in determining the

location and extent of the spruce bud-worm infestation which is
spreading from the puipwood forests of northern Quebec into Ontario.
_Flights were made from the base at Haileybury covering a-radius of
- about 100 miles and extending south to Otter Station and
Lake, east to Lake Expanse and north to Larder Lake.

observations with what we could see from Timagami Lake and found
that from 3,500 feet we had noted every block of any appreciable size
of the various forest types.

On the return trip to Ottawa, a few days were spent in examining
the area adjacent to Lake Nipissing, using Trout Lake as a base. As
a result of this experiment, the Commission of Conservation is plan-

cases this is taken by the builder himself—not to keep (for he would
thus lock up his working capital), but to sell at the earliest opportunity.
He knows that it will not fetch anything like its face value. In plac-
ing a price upon the property he has allowed for this fact. » That is,
he has charged the purchaser not only cost plus profit, but cost and _
profit plus the loss on the sale of the second mortgage. For that
reason the second mortgage is to-day a substantial factor in the high |
cost of homes.

The buiider of a $5,000 property will probably secure—and trans-
fer to the buyer—a first mortgage for $2,000. The purchaser may.
have only $500 in cash. The builder is then forced to take a second
mortgage for the remaining $2,500. He is lucky if he can sell it for

it. It is safe to say that he has protected himself by charging just
that much extra for the property in the first place. It is the buyer
who pays this $500 for which he receives no value.

The city of Toronto should consider the securing of statutory
power whereby it would be enabled to enter into such transactions
by lending money on second mortgage. The loans might properly
be confined to homes not exceeding a stated price, and the city would
pate to be satisfied that the builder was making only a reasonable -
proht.

Personal Element, What it Constitutes and How It Can be Developed— 1

Are Plus What You Know—How Progress is Made

| Mr. A. L. Boyd, manager of the Sheldon School of Salesmanship,

Toronto, in his able address recently before Wholesaler Lumber

‘Dealers’ Association on “The Personal Element in Business” said:

“You would do well.to take to heart the ideas which have been

so forcibly expressed by the previous speaker, and have each member

of the ASsociation make out its monthly credit report and submit
it to the secretary regularly and promptly. Any man who has his
ear to the ground these days can sense something of the situation
that is coming and that will test the business ability of many men
during the next six or eight months.

“Tf | were to visit any one of your institutions to-morrow, I would
find with each institution just three powers by and through which
you do your business. I would find there a certain amount of money

at your disposal. I would find in the second place your equipment;
that is to say your office, your stock, your records etc. This is your
equipment power. Then, in the third place, I would find something
else beside your money and your equipment. I would find man
power. Just these three powers would I find. Now when you turn
the searchlight of analysis on these three powers you do not have
to search very long to discover that one of them is cause and two
-’ are effect. Destroy the man power of your institution but leave your
money and equipment power intact. Your money and equipment
would then rust in idleness. But destroy your money and equipment
and leave the-man power intact and your money equipment power
will come into existence again, because the man power is the creator
of the other two. The man power is the greatest factor in your
business.
Profit Through Service Rendered

“Now the purpose of your business is to produce profit through
the service that you render to those who buy from you. In other
words, all your knowledge about how to build business is, in the final

- analysis, knowledge about how to serve those with whom you deal.
You cannot continue to build business; you can get business for a
while, but you cannot build business, in the absence of confidence.
It is a well known statement that confidence is the basis of trade,
but confidence will not continue very long without satisfaction. With-
out your customers being satisfied there is no confidence. The only

’ way that you can satisfy your customers is by rendering them service
of the right quantity and the right quality, and with the right methods
of conduct in your relations with them. If we wanted a little more
heat in this room our thoughts would immediately run, by the law
“of association, to the cause of heat—fire. We all know that it is
a fact and not a theory that a little fire will create a little heat and

greater fire will produce a greater degree of heat. No one will
question that statement. I doubt if it is equally clear in the minds
of all that a little service, or inefficient service produces, by the same

way of life, a little deserved reward; and that a greater service or a

more efficient service causes a corresponding degree of deserved re-
ward. That is to say, we all recognize that fire is the cause and heat the
effect. But do we see with the same clearness that service is cause
and deserved reward the effect. In real life do we not oft-times
find ourselves concentrating our minds upon the effect and failing

to concentrate upon the building power of service. Note full well
that if we see to the cause the effect—deserved reward—will take
care of itself.”

Mr. Boyd then made use of a diagram consisting of three horizon-
tal lines to illustrate some of his remarks. ;

I IS R

| The last of these lines, he said, represented reward, the thing we
Bs were all after. The second line represented the cause of reward—
' service. And what was the cause of service, the thing that produced
_. service? “It is the individual. The first line represents not only the
individual, but the institution as well. The power of your institution,
indeed, is the result of the sum of the power of the individuals from
the president down; everyone on the pay roll.

— “Tf we concentrate our attention upon individual, or personal

power, the service will follow naturally by a law of life. How much
Py “service? Service in exact proportion to the personal power of the
_ » individual, or of the institution. And the deserved reward will follow

the service rendered. For the man who really knows how to sell

power of what does it consist? Your personal power consist
what you are, plus what you know, and nothing more. —
Your personal power to serve and therefore to earn consist:

Mr. Boyd then referred to a magazine article which he
read containing a striking illustration of the point under”

get the other fellow to feel as you feel, to see as you see and to act
_ as you wish him to act; to get him to see that the transaction is of
_ mutual benefit and that a transaction based upon any other founda-
tion is dishonest and is not a business-building transaction, for
business is service. |
“Now let us look for a little while at this question of the personal
_ power of the individual. I remarked that personal power consists
of what you are plus what you know, and that the value of your
knowledge is determined by what you are. Let us turn the search-
light of analysis for a while on a simple diagram so that we may
_ get clearly before us what we mean by that assertion.
_ .__ There is a great deal of discussion on the question of personality.
___ Like all other compounds it is more or less complex, and more difficult
therefore to understand, but when reduced to its simple elements it
is very clear. Let the top line of this square represent your physical

condition. Your physique has very much to do with your business
success. Your body is part of your personality. If you are not
feeling very well we represent your physical condition by a short

_ line. But if you are eating your three good meals a day and feel
__well, we represent your physical condition by a longer line.
Ft But the question is not, are you healthy to-day, any more than
.: are you wealthy to-day. You may have inherited health as well as
wealth. The real question is, are you so living to-day in harmony
with nature’s fundamental laws as to guarantee your future health?
Think of the number of men who drop off between 50 and 60 and 70,
_-_ who ought to live to a ripe old age, just when they made money to
enjoy and to spend wisely in the interest of others. Just when they
have accumulated power to render a big service, they die, because
they have given their attention to everything else except to one of life’s
essentials, the human body. The human body is the most wonderful
creation—least understood and most abused. It is true that most of
us know far more about how to take care of our motors than of our
__ bodies. We simply rush on, all the time thinking that we are acting
wisely, but the vast majority of us are disobeying nature’s laws
_ pertaining’ to our bodies.

\

°

Obediance to Fundamental Laws

“There are just seven fundamental natural laws which, if we
obey them, we will be blessed with physical endurance. I will not
take time to mention them tonight. If we obey them we will have

_ physical-endurance—the capacity to stay in the game; not only that
_~ degree of health which enables us to go about our work but which
enables our mind to be always at its best.

But you may be ever so healthy and yet not succeed in business.

- Health alone is insufficient. Your inteliectual life, the intellectual
side of your personality plays a very important part in your success.
With your intellect you can do just two things, and no man can do

“more with his intellect. You can think and you can remember. Now

| if you are a mighty thinker and if you have a poor memory we would
__ have to represent your intellectual condition by a short line. Your
intellectual condition would be represented by a long line if you are

a clear thinker, an accurate thinker, a logical thinker, a creative thinker,

_ 4 constructive thinker. Most men do not really think independently

_ and creatively at their work. Most men somehow are limited in their
thinking, to the work in hand, They cannot think beyond their job.

They only think that they think. Some wise guy put it that they
only think that they think. Thinking is the hardest job that we can
undertake, but it pays. Now if you are a good thinker and if you

have a good memory—and you think creatively you will not
- have much difficulty with your memory, your physical condition
will be represented by a long line. A good memory-is the natural
result of creative thinking. We will
_ thinker and have a clear memory.
_ line represent the intellectual side of your personality—the side
_ which is called ability, in an intellectual sense. The difference
between one man’s ability and another’s is in his capacity to remember.
But you may be possessed of a splendid physical condition and you
_ ‘may be a man of a high degree of ability and yet lamentably fail in
business.

aay Developing Ability and Reliability

__ It is just as important that you have the reliability side of your

life well developed, as it is that you have the ability side of your

life. Reliability is made up of such qualities as self-confidence and
_ cheerfulness. What is the good of an idea if you have not courage
to use it? Do you suppose you can make a great success as a
__ salesman if you are a pessimist? You cannot be a success if you
_ are constantly taking the attitude toward life that was taken by the
old lady who said she always felt bad when she felt good because the
__ knew she was going to feel worse to-morrow. You cannot come
into contact with the other fellow without him felling something
of the qualities of life. You cannot build up a business by being
dishonest. You can get business that way, but you are not in busi.
ness for a year, but for a long time. You can make money at times
, by being dishonest, Many a man thinks he makes money by being

dishonest, but dishonesty is a confidence killer.. It tends to disinte-
grate the very foundation of your business. If a man makes money
and practices dishonesty in his business, he succeeds in spite of his
dishonesty, not because of it. He would make more money if he
had added honesty to the qualities on his reliability side of life. The
biggest factor in your life comes from the reliability side—that quality —
of certainty in you which causes you to look the other fellow square
in. the eye and get the other fellow to feel that he is being treated
in every way at the hands of a gentleman.

“The function of management in your business is to take and
work up men, money and equipment, but if you do not know how
to choose men, each for his own peculiar type of work for which
nature has best fitted him, then you are not a good manager. If
you do not know how to recognize the outstanding characteristics
of men, business for you is simply chance work and it is impossible
for you to choose wisely and to direct and supervise.

The value of any man in your employ is determined by the
amount of supervision that he requires. The more he can carry on
his work without supervision, the more valuable the man is. This —
is just as true of you, Mr. manager as it is of your employees, with
this difference, that an error of yours is more important than an
error of your employees. Learn to supervise yourself, study the
qualities that make up your own life and be able to put your mental
finger upon its faults and to determine where you are weak and
where you are strong. You are facing disaster if you permit the —
qualities on the reliability side of your life to be the inactive, des-
tructive and foolish qualities. Look well to the reliability side of, your
life.

Faculty of Quick and Correct Decision

But you may be well developed on all these three sides of your
life and yet fail. What about the faculty of quick decision as well
as correct decision that every executive has to exercise, the faculty
of interpreting facts clearly and rendering a quick decision? What
about the faculty of despatch? Many a man takes twice the time
that is needful for doing the things he undertakes. And what
about initiative? Many failures in life are caused, not by lack of a
opportunity, but by lack of the capacity to see and to sieze opportunity. __
It is the capacity to create opportunity that counts. That is what
your salesmen are doing. That is your business—creating opportunity
for your firm to serve the public. Are you creators of opportunity?

Do you love your work?
you do not love your job don’t worry about it—some other fellow
will soon have it?, The man who fails to fill up properly the hours
for which he is paid, is dishonest. It is just another form of stealing?
The man who does not do more than he is paid for, who is not willing
at least to do more than he is paid for, is very foolish. Just keep
your eye on that man who becomes desperately interested in his
work that occasionally he forgets his meals—forgets the time—
looses himself in his job; the man who puts his entire personality into
what he is doing. He is the fellow who does not stay long on that +
job. There is a demand for that type of man. These are the qualities
that pertain to the action side of life. The degree to which these
qualities are developed, plus your physical condition, determine the
size of that square. The total sum of all these faculties is your Retooy
sonality—what you are. The square represents your personality and
the degree to which your faculties are developed determines the size
of the square, determines the actual practical use to which you put
your knowledge, and determines it with absolute accuracy. It, there-
fore, determines your service rendering power, which in turn deter-
mines your value.

All Men Have Their Weak Sides i

“Now the question arises—I have yet to meet on the streets ©
of Toronto any man, anywhere, so symetrically developed as to have
his personality represented by a perfect square. We all have our
weak sides and the question is how does the presence of a weakness _
affect our earning power. Suppose, for illustration, this (pointing
to the action side of the diagram) were your short side. Suppose
you are only one half as active intellectually as you are able. How
would that affect your earning power? Now I am going to make ©
a statement that is not absolutely, scientifically true, but so near
the truth that for all practical purposes we can accept it. Your actual _
earning power will be equal to the square of the shortest side. If
you are only one half as active as you might be, you will earn only
one quarter the money you would earn if you got busy and developed
the faculties on the active side of your life. Do you know which is
your shortest side. I am not talking about fault or failure on one
side or the other, it is the shortest side that countts. Do you know
which it is? If you do not, have you much»of a chance to actually
increase your earning power?

“Tt is a law of life for each man to develop the long side and to
leave the short . This is a fact and we had better face the facts.
The truest business spirit is to face the facts fearlessly and then
adjust ourselves to those facts. Do you know which is the shortest a

side of your life and what faculities are responsible for the shortness?
And do you know how, having discovered these weak faculties, to
develop the corresponding success qualities so as to greatly increase
the length of your short side and thus increase your personal power?

“Most men think they have a pretty good introduction to them-
selves. We are the last individuals to whom we get a good square
introduction. I have yet to meet the first woman whose estimates of
her husband’s qualities coincide with his estimation of his own qualt-
ties. The real question is, have we ourselves in hand? Are we working
on the job of developing the man power within our institution—
ourselves and those whom we serve? Personality is the greatest
power in business. It is the greatest power in salesmanship. It -is
the thing that determines the value of our knowledge. If you get
busy on this question, if you form the habit of looking within your-
selves to find the cause of your failure and not blame it upon external
conditions, then you are going to get some place. You are going
to make progress.

It is just exactly twenty years this month since the late Andrew
Carnegie gave an address at Montreal to the students of McGill
University at which I happened to be present and I was greatly struck
with his words. He was giving a talk on the secret of his financial
success, and by the way, he had been invited to do so in order that
he might have an opportunity of contributing something to McGill
University. He said, among other things, “I spent much time study-
ing how to discover my personal qualities, how to develop those
qualities and how to make them effective, while others fixed their
eye on the dollar and then wondered how I accumulated my wealth.”
Others, he said, busied themselves through the long years trying
.to secure the dollar that was closest, only to awaken at last, if indeed
they ever did awaken, to the fact that the man who turns his attention
to the study of himself and how to develop the qualities that comprise
hig personality, even though it be but for an hour a week, will out-
distance his fellows in the race for money.”

Big Opportunity for the Retail Lumberman
By W. Arthur Lynn

Mr. Retailer, are you taking your part in the practical publicity
work which has gained a firm foothold in your industry, or are you
sitting back indifferently as lumber merchants did in days that have
passed and saying. “You can’t use publicity in the lumber business?”
Now is the time to think up something original, something worth
while, to extend your business, not next month or next year, but
to-day.

Get into the game at once and graduate your business from that
time-worn and abused description “the lumber yard.” Your business
is a retail one, just as much and without exception as the furniture
dealer’s and the lumberman can advertise his goods as attractively
by featuring the finished home as the furniture man features and
illustrates the furnished room. The furniture dealer sells furnishings
for the home, but the lumber merchant sells the main requirements
for the building of that same dwelling. He has a big hand in the
building materials of the garage, the silo, the additional sun porch
and, if handy to the farm trade, will supply the lumber for the new
barh, implement shed and other farm buildings. There isn’t another
line of business in the land affording the retailer so many opportuni-
ties to introduce taste and science in selling as the lumber enterprise.

Not a few retailers in various parts of the Dominion, who are now
conducting their businesses on a sound, modern basis, and using ad-
vertising and display space to great practical advantage, have attracted
the attention of the “Canada Lumberman.” One of the most pro-
minent and, perhaps, showing the most activity is a comparatively
young retailer in an aggressive town in Western Ontario. This man,
whose business perhaps is rather well situated in a town of some six
thousand population and surrounded by a prosperous farming district,
is finding satisfaction in a vigorous advertising and publicity cam-
paign. He is using the columns of his local newspaper to good ad-
vantage by displaying a well thought-out series of advertisements of
cosy homes and other well-planned buildings for different uses. He
has also found time to criticize his own surroundings relative to his
place of business, and has converted the wall of his office building
which faces the street, into an attractive show-window at a compar-
atively low cost. The improvement is proving exceptionally well
worth while, in backing up his local advertising.

One of the many bright displays thought out was a miniature
bungalow and garage of wood, painted in appropriate and tasty
colors. This was not an expensive idea and a good deal easier to
work up when one gives it some thought. The original and novel
display was the subject of much comment and people stop on their
way about town to see the window just as they halt to look in at the
grocer’s or haberdasher’s. Do you not think this is a worth-while
advertisement?

Another good display (and, incidentally in the window at the pre-
sent time) is a group of doors and window sashes showing several

attractive surroundings. Think it out by asking yourseif, “Isn’t there

practical designs of French and Dutch windows, panelled doers, ete.
This window, while being attractive to the passer-by, is a great help
to the builder for illustration purposes in aiding the prospective builder
of a home to gain some modern ideas along these lines. While placing

tractor will also unconsciously bring business to you if he finds you
are aggressive.

These are only a few practical methods of modernizing the lum-
ber business at present in practice by wide-awake dealers who realize
the importance of an up-to-the-minute service.

People of to-day are literally craving for the introduction of art
into their homes, something that will appeal to their sense of good
taste. It is up to the lumber merchant to start the ball rolling by
showing some real individuality to the consumer in the selection of

some way I can make my place of business rank as one of the attractive
spots in the town?

While the foregoing suggestions may not fit in to every business,
they may, possibly, inspire some retailers who are really anxious to
elevate their businesses to a more dignified plane, increase their ser-
vice to their community and secure for themselves a wider connection

and larger turnover.

New Lumber Company Organized ite
The timber and lumber firm of W. & J. Sharples, Reg., of Quebec, ~
has been reorganized and incorporated by letters patent at Ottawa

under the name of W. & J. Sharples, Limited. This firm, which was :

established in 1818, at the death of Hon. John Sharples, came into full
possession of Mr. Wm. Power, ex-M.P., who by right of purchase
from the estate of his late partner, became the proprietor. Mr. Wm.
Power, who has been associated with the firm as a junior clerk from
the time he left school, sixty years ago, by sheer ability and close
application to business, as well as integrity of character, rose step by
step until he became a full partner. Realizing lately that he was now

in the autumn of life, and desirous of showing his appreciation of the
service rendered the firm by his sons and old employees, Mr. Power

Wm. Power, ex-M.P., Quebec John Levie, Quebec, P.Q.
decided to form a small stock company with a capitalization of $1,500,-
000, in which are now associated as members of this company his sons,
Mr. John Levie and other old and faithful employees.

At the same time Mr. Wm. Power, who has been the centre and
sole owner of the Power lumber interests*with its mills and timber
limits, has also formed these interests into a private company in which —
his sons and old employees constitute the membership. This company

has just been organized and incorporated under letters patent of the —
province of Quebec, under the name and style of “The Power Lumber

Company, Limited,” with a capital of $2,000,000, for the purpose of

purchasing and operating certain mills, properties, limits and freehold -
lands, situated on the south shore of the River St. Lawrence. The
company intends to purchase the River Quelle Pulp & Lumber Com- —
pany and the Lafontaine Lumber Co., together with certain mills situ-
ated at River Manie and Lapointe in the county of Kamouraska and St.

Appollina, in the county of Montmagny, also other lands and timber 7

holdings in the vicinity. Montreal, Ontario and Quebec capital is in-
terested in this company. The head office will be at St. Pacome in the
county of Kamouraska. No stock, however, will be issued for public
subscription.

A man has a right to expect to succeed in business only so long e

as he is entirely and unalterably on the square.

PT, he Logship is Unbreakable and Unsinkable

She Can Weather Any Storm and Resist Ice Screwing—How the Craft is Built and

Her Advantages in Transportation of Lumber Overseas

: References were made in the English Press some months ago
to the effect that the late Sir James Ball, Timber Controller of Great
_ Britain, had announced that plans were under way in Canada for prac-
tical tests of shipping lumber across the Atlantic and the Pacific by

-» means of demountable rafts,

It was then pointed out that, should the experiments prove suc-

cessful, they would solve the problem of high ocean freights and at
_ the same time afford easy facilities for transporting the forest wealth

to Great Britain. The designer and patentee of the logship referred to
is Mr, Alexander Livventaal, of Montreal, who has given the follow-

. ing information as to the construction and capabilities of the logship

to a representative of the “Canada Lumberman.”

The logship, says Mr. Livventaal, is not a ship in the common
acceptation of the word “ship” i. e. a “bottom,” but a cargo of sawn
lumber, piled and fastened into the-forms and lines of a flat sailing
schooner. Cargo and ship are but one. On arrival at destination the
ship is dismounted and nothing is left except sails, rigging, rudder,
navigating implements, and fastening devices, which are packed and
returned to the base to be fitted to another logship.

, Thee Cargo and Ship Are One.
The logship navigates water logged; there is no water-tight hull,

and, therefore, no calking. The logship is unbreakable and unsink-

able, does not fear the Arctic icé, can weather any storm and resist
ice screwing. She-can sail on moderate smooth ice, break through it,

ceeds at the speed of output of the sawmill. There is no stevedorage
nor piling. The pieces necessary to form the keel, the keelson, and
the stiff backbone extending from stem to stern, and from keel to deck,
as well as the binding members, are assembled ashore and floated into

gunwale, extending from stem to stern, and to secure the whole and
give it an additional safety, co-efficient five extra lashings composed
of chains at the bottom of the ship and of steel wires on the sides, are
brought together on the deck by five powerful double screws, the pres-
sure of which can be regulated to suit the expansion resulting from
the penetration of the water into the wood.
small on the side of the log, but very great at the ends; therefore the
ends of each piece have to receive a coat of tar. This is very beneficial]
at wood and becomes the trade mark of lumber shipped by log-
ship.

With a force of thirty laborers, led by one killed engineer and
one killed carpenter, handling one hundred and fifty standards per
day—i. e. five standards per man (a very low average)—the logship
can be constructed in ten days; the fixing up of the rigging and the
preparations to sail would absorb another ten
fore, be safely assumed that a ship containing and put to sea every
twenty days of work.

The logship could not be constructed on the water dur:ng the win- -

ter, but could be constructed on launching ways so as to sail over
hard ice to the fringe of the water, where it would break through and
free itself under sail. The theoretical displacement of the ship is four
thousand five hundred metric tons, this varying with the density of
the wood. The total length is 298 feet; loaded water line 267 feet-=
draft of water 17 feet; beam 49 feet; height 24 feet: height over
water, forward 22 feet, amidships :7% feet, and aft 1534 feet. Assum-

.

The members of the Montreal Lumber Association held their
annual meeting in the Board of Trade on December 6th, Mr. G. W.
Grier presiding. ‘

The following are the main outlines of the report submitted:

Tariff Commission

‘Early in September, the Tariff Commission, composed of Sir
Henry Drayton, chairman; Hon, J. A. Calder and Senator Robertson,
began their itinerary, visiting the most important centers, gathering
data and hearing evidence, for the purpose of revising the tariff. This
association met on 13th October to decide if any change in the pres-
A
discussion brought out the fact that the removal of the tariff would
flood a certain section of this country with an inferior quality of un-
dressed lumber, which the Southern States are able to manufacture
much cheaper than in Canada. It was thought, therefore, that no
representations need be made by this organization before the Tariff
Commission during their sitting in Montreal commencing October

15th, since the tariff now in force was satisfactory to the Lumber
Trade. |

; Stop-off and reshipping arrangements on lumber, carloads for
planning, tonguing, grooving, kiln-drying and sorting in transit.

In 1918 the railways proposed to increase the stop-over charge
on reshipment to Canadian points for domestic consumption from Ic
to 2c per 100 Ibs. This was objected to, and no action was taken
by the carriers. Again in 1919 (see last year’s Annual Report) the
Same proposition was made, and the question was the subject of
a conference with representatives of the carriers at Toronto on the
16th May, 1919, since which date, nothing further has been heard in
the matter.

General Increase in Freight Rates

In July last the Railway Commission made application to the
Railway Commission for authority to make a general advance of 30
per cent. in the tolls for the carriage of freight, and later in that
month, owing to the award of the United States Lumber Board pro-
viding for a large increase in wages to be paid the Railway Enployees,
supplemented this demand by an application for a further increase of
10 per cent. following the increase that had been allowed in the
United States by the Inter-State Commerce Commission. While
the general increase was not opposed, exception was taken at the
hearing before the Railway Commission, to any increase in switch.
ing, diversion reconsignment, Sstop-over, demurrage, weighing and
other charges for special service. The Railway Commission’s deci-
sion in general order No. 308, effective on September 13th, which
authorizes a general advance until the 31st December, 1920, of 40 per
cent. in the eastern freight rates and 35 per cent. in western freight

rates. Commencing the lst January, 1921, these percentage increases
will be reduced to 35 per cent. in eastern territory and to 30 per cent.
in western territory. The order provides that the increase shall not
extend beyond Ist July, 1922, and also, that no increase be made in
the tolls for switchmen, reconsignment, demurrage and other special
services. lhe increase between points in Canada and points in the
United States become effective generaliy on August 26th.

Shortly after the order was issued, an appeal against the gen-
eral increase in rates was taken to the Governor-General-in-Council
by Ontario, Manitoba and other interests, with the result that the
Railway Commission has undertaken to make an inquiry into the
freight rates in Eastern and Western Canada with a view to ascer-
taining if any unjust discrimination exists against Western Canada
as compared with Eastern Canada.

Weighing of Carload Freight Traffic

On 25th May, 1920, the Canadian Freight Association issued tariff
14 in this connection, this tariff being published on the authority of
general order No. 283. of the Railway Commission, dated February
14th. Exception was taken to some features of the new tariff by
the Wholesale Dealers’ Association, at a hearing on 15th June, at
which vour association was represented. Decision in regard to this
subject is pending.

Proposed Increases in Montreal Wharfage Rates

This matter was referred to in last year’s report. The Harbor’
Commissioners By-law, No. 92, the effective date of which, owing
to the action of the council of the Board of Trade, was postponed
until January Ist, 1920, finally because operative on April Ist. and
has been in force for the whole season of navigation, despite the
efforts of the committee composed of members of the Board of Trade,
Chambre de Commerce and the Railway and Shipping Interests, to
secure the adoption of a more equitable wharfage tariff. A new
Wharfage Tariff has recently been adopted by the Harbour Com-
missioners, making some slight modifications but does not yet meet
with the approval of the committee appointed to deal with the matter.
The question is still receiving the attention of the committee. whose
deliberations will no doubt result in further presentations, to the Min-
ister of Marine and Fisheries.

The Officers for Coming Year

The officers re-elected were as follows: Mr. G.
dent; Mr. D. H. McLennan, vice-president; Mr. F. W. Cotter, treas-
urer; Mr. H. C. Beatty, secretary. Directors: Messrs. J. P. McLaurin,

Lumber Cut in Ontario Decreasing

Men for the Camps are: Now. Numerous and There is
Less of the Roving Spirit Evidenced

In connection with the lumber production for the coming year
some interesting information has. been received by the “Canada Lum-
berman” from the Crown timber agents in various parts of Ontario.
It is a little early yet to gauge definitely the situation, but there will,
no doubt, be a fair cut in Ontario during the coming season. Men are
more plentiful than they were and it is expected that in some quarters
wages may take a drop after the New Year.

W. P. Christie, Crown Timber Agent of the Parry Sound dis-
trict, says: “There are about thirty or forty camps operating in that
district, employing about fifteen hundred men. The probable cut will
be from forty to fifty million feet of pine and fifteen to twenty miilion
feet of hemlock, spruce and hardwoods. Men were very scarce at the
beginning of the season and are now plentiful, the rate of wages aver-
aging from $75.00 to $80.00 per month.

P. J. Whalen, Crown Timber Agent, of Renfrew, says that judg-
ing by the present time, there will be about 150,000,000 feet, board
measure, and 75,000 cords of pulpwood taken out between timber limits
and settlers’ lots. Wages for men have been ranging from $60.00 to
$80.00 per month and shantymen were scarce up to about the Ist of
December when they became more plentiful. The fall months have
been exceptionally favorabie for the taking out of material. Mr.
Whalen says there is no flu or disease in any of the camps that he
knows of and declares that shantyboys working from daylight until
dark are as happy as the day is long and seldom think or want to

strike. Most camps are supplied to-day with first-class cooks and an
abundance of good healthy chuck,—much better than can be had in
most city hotels.”

“In my opinion,” concludes Mr. Whalen, “if some of the unem-
ployed in the cities would put in a winter in the lumber woods, they
would return heaithier and better men. I certainly wish the ‘Canada
Lumberman’ every success and also extend best wishes to all lumber,
mine and pulp operators in Ontario. I hold the highest regard for the
jolly shantyboy and the miner who toils year in and year out at this
line of work. They will, I hope, have a better home above when their
life work here is o’er.”

H. MacDonald, Crown Lands Timber Agent, New Liskeard, says
conditions in that district are much the same as last year with pos-
sibly a littie more pulpwood being taken out. The wages have not
changed from those prevailing in 1919 to any extent, and now that
farming operat/ons are over, more men are available for woods work.

The Crown Timber Agent of Thessalon says: “There will be a
reduction of about 20 per cent. in camp operations, compared with
last year. Men appear to be very plentiful on the shore just at present.
Heretofore wages have been high, $75 and in some cases $80 per
month and board, but it looks as though exalted wages would be a
matter of the past for this season. Camp supplies are much cheaper
than last year, particularly oats and potatoes. Everything is on the
down grade at the present time in the way of lumbermen’s supplies.
The mills all sold their stock last spring and are anxious to get the
logs sawed in order to get thé high prices, as next season may not
be quite so favorable. There will not be many posts or ties or pulp-
wood taken out in this division this season, nothing only what comes
off patented lands and sold lots.

A. H. Huckson, Crown Timber Agent, Sault Ste. Marie, says that
the cutting in that district will not be as large as last year. There
are not as many camps operating on pine, and owing to labor troubles
and the high cost of camp supplies, the lumbermen seem to be curtail-
ing their output in this wood. The pulpwood situation seems to be
as brisk as ever but there are not many operators in the line of taking
out railway ties. *

Revival in Lumber Business Early in Year

A revival of business in the logging and lumber manufacturing
industries will again become evident about the first of the New Year,
this business gradually picking uv until, by March, all of the camps
and mills in British Columbia will have all they can do to meet the
demands, from not oniy the home market, but from other parts of
the world also, in the opinion of Mr. Mark T. Rector, manager of the
International Timber Company, who was guest of honor at the
monthly dinner and meeting of the Canadian Credit Men’s Trust
Association at the Hotel Vancouver, Vancouver, B.C., recently.

Mr. Rector based his ovtimistic prediction upon several factors,
mentioning among others that the big railway companies, for so
long out of the market, were again placing orders for all kinds of
lumber, that many of the industrial concerns of the continent had

extensive building programmes ahead, the farmers Carre a
cial shape and would be anxious to secure build'ng materiais, an¢
that the lumber yards in practically every part of the country wer
without stocks. ‘ & 7
Prominent lumbermen all over the country figured we would —
have all the markets we wanted long before this, and based this belief _
upon many important facts, all of which has come true, but still there —
is no demand confronting the iumber industry. As a matter of fact —
business is now practically nil,” said Mr. Rector. ;
“The reason that business is at a standstill just now, is beca
there is a strike on among the buyers. With no market before us,
may as well stop for the time being, at least. I don’t see any reason
to worry, however, about the lumber business. There is a temporary
slump, it is true, but the millmen and the loggers will get over it all
right. The local market has been good. There has been an immense
amount of building in Vancouver, and it has helped the industry over
the rough spots. Salesmen are now out after the business, and that
is a sign that we are coming back to earth again. a

“During the last three or four years the lumber industry, in a’
its branches, has enjoyed prosperity. The first six months of th
present year were the most prosperous in the history of the indus
In the succeeding three months this business slowed down, until to
day, as I have stated, it is practically nil.” .

large number of other markets had been open to the milis of

invaded, with the return of lower cargo rates, Norway and §

of the estimated 35 per cent. deemed necessary, had alread

to some operators, and that others had had to suffer in cons

As a logging operator, he said that but for the stand t
the men in this particular line of the industry the bottom would

Retail Dealers Talk Over Lumber Prospects

Declare that Farmers are Disposed to Hang Back in Their Purchases—Fair Building
Outlook—Old Officers Re-elected for Coming Year

Representative in attendance and enthusiastic in spirit was the
annual meeting of the Orangeville branch of the Ontario Retail Lum-

ber Dealers’ Association, which was held in Orangeville on Wednes-

day, December Ist. This district is a particularly live one; the mem-
bers come together three or four times a year, consider local problems,
and time and labor-saving methods.
The discussion is always animated but good-natured, and many valu-
able pointers and timely suggestions are brought out.

The first business attended to was the election of officers. J. A.
Matthews of Orangeville, chairman, and J. B. Mackenzie of George-
duties in order
that new blood might be injected. They expressed themselves strongiy

in favor of the honors being passed around, but the other members of

!

the association would not listen to their proposals. The result was
that Mr. Matthews and Mr. Mackenzie will again be in office for
another year. This makes the third term for each, which is a tribute
to their faithfulness and interest in the work.

What Will Be Public Attitude?

Mr. Mackenzie, of Georgetown, opened the discussion by stating
that he would like to hear from all present their opinion of what the
attitude of the buying public would be toward iumber next May or
June, and how the building outlook for next year was shaping up in
their respective localities,

Mr. Howes, of Harriston—I do not deem it advisable for a retailer
of lumber to buy more stock than he really needs. The price of all
lines of farm produce is falling’ and this has caused the farmers to
halt in their purchases. They believe that all other commodities
should come down.. I do not think the prospects for building any
better than they have been. In my own district they are probably not

as good for the coming year as last and this is one reason why I do

not feel like stocking up very heavily.

Mr. Gorvett, of Arthur—My own views are the same as those of
Mr. Howes. Many persons are looking for prices to come down and
will not build if prices stay up where they are. I do not feel like
stocking up at present. After the new year, values of farm products
may rise, but not much. We all have to look out for the farmers and
have had a good farm trade during the past year. There has not been

~much doing in the building line in my village and I am going slow

on purchasing,

Mr. Henderson, of Cheltenham—Business has varied with me.
One week has been good and another bad. I have of late received a
number of outside inquiries for stuff. If hemlock can be retailed at
$45.to $48, I think we can sell some to the farmers, and that there
would be some building.

Mr. McCulloch, of Brampton—Business with us has been good
all the year until last month when it fell off. Every inquirer has been
saying that he will wa‘t until prices come down a little more, but
stocks are so low that we will have to stock up soon. I had a traveller
in my office the other day who dropped the price of hemlock seven
dollars from his first quotation in order to induce me to buy a carload.
We have had more lumber travellers calling upon us during the past
few weeks than ever before in an effort to make sales.

Mr. Gorvett said that he had heard of one firm up north which
had cut the wages of their bushmen from seventy to forty-five dollars
a month.

What Manufacturers Are Saying.
Mr. Matthews—Mill men say that if they cannot get more for

‘their lumber they are not going to cut any.

Mr. Dixon, of Grand Valiey—The farmers are not going to buy
more lumber next year and I am not selling as much as I did. Farm
stuff has been coming down in price and it has kept the farmers from
buying.

Mr. Matthews—There is not as much timber
section as last year.

Mr. Mackenzie inquired if the Ontario Association of Retailers
could not consider employing an advertising firm-to put the case of the
retail lumbermen before the public and educate purchasers that lum-
ber prices were becoming stabilized.

Secretary H. Boultbee, of Toronto, explained that such a plan
would involve a very large expenditure and the results would be
doubtful. The same question had been discussed informally by a
number of wholesalers in Toronto and it was found that to tell the
public that lumber was reasonable in price but that other lines were
up would be very costly. The conclusion arrived at was that the time
was not ripe for such action. Brick, hardware, glass, labor and other
things had not come down the same as lumber and it was the opinion
of those who talked over the matter, that these also would have to
drope in price, .

Mr. John B. Reid, of Toronto, president of the Ontario association,
when asked what he thought the attitude of the public would be next
spring in regard to lumber, naively replied that if he could tell what
the public was going to do three months from now, he would not be
trying to sell lumber to-day. They could only guess what the public

being cut in this

was going to do. If everything else was going down lumber would

would find out, if they looked back over a period of years, that lum-
ber has been sold for considerably less and that the manufacturer has
raised the same cry annually. The question resolved itself into one of
what the public was willing to pay for lumber and the demand would

fix that.

“Stock up with what you really need and buy as cheap as you
can,” was the advice tendered by Mr. Reid. “Do not hold on to what
you have too long. Get rid of some of your high priced lumber if you
can replace it for less.’ These are not normal times and if you cut

-prices to get from under, no one can find fault with you. Every one

is in the same boat.” He would not advise his hearers to sacrifice their

‘stock, however, unless they could replace it with lumber at a less

figure and if they could do so, the difference represented a profit.

‘Money was the principal thing to get hold of to-day. When you think
‘things have got to the bottom buy. In the meantime, keep your

stocks low, and dispose of what high-priced stuff you have if you can
- get your money out of it. Look well after collections and give short

credits.

or two per M in a few months from now than you have to at the:

Let Wholesaler Carry the Stocks.

Continuing, Mr. Reid pointed out that there was not much to be
gained now by laying in a large quantity of lumber in the yards,
keeping it there until spring and paying men to shovel the snow off
the piles all winter long.
“You have,” he added; “carried the stocks in the past and why not

let the wholesaler carry the stocks until the spring and pay interest on
the investment, insurance, etc.

Even if you do have to pay a dollar

present time, you will have saved the difference in snow cleaning and
interest charges. If everything else continues to go down lumber will
follow suit.” Mr. Reid pointed out that in normal times the retailer
should get a gross profit on his lumber of thirty-three and one-third
per cent. on the cost delivered in his yard, in order to cover all charges
and make a fair margin.

Mr. Mackenzie said that he did not expect that any contracts for
building wouid get under way in Georgetown until May or June next
and that lower lumber prices would not in the meantime create any
If he could make a profit on replacement values he
was going to let his lumber go in March for what it cost him.

more demand.

Some discussion took place on what the different dealers were

getting for merchantable hemlock and the figures ranged from fifty-
two to sixty-two dollars, while the majority said they were disposing
of shingles at two doliars a bunch.

Mr. Mackenzie also brought up the matter of supplying material
- for barns and said that he had developed quite a business in this line
last summer by working in conjunction with the metallic sheeting
men. Going in with others he had taken the contract for everything
required in the structure. The
the whole thing was going to cost. Barn plans could be obtained
from Beatty Bros., of Fergus, along with tally pieces for any desired
structure and he thought it well to consider meeting the wishes of the

farmer was anxious to know what

farmer in every way. The metal sheeting men were alive and awake

and the retail lumbermen could work with them. That had been his
experience and he had furnished all the wood goods required for a

number of such buildings. A general discussion followed on the sub-
ject and it was agreed that looking after the barn business was worth
while and that the retailer should co-operate with the farmer as far as

possible in assisting him in his building problems.
What New Order Blank Sets Forth.

Mr. John B. Reid spoke of the benefit of organization from both
a social and business standpoint and told of the high regard in which
the retailer was held to-day, through co-operation and association. He
also-referred to the work of the Trades Relation Committee, with its
powers of arbitration in adjusting disputes between wholesalers and
retailers or manufacturers and customers and thus eliminating litiga-
tion. He outlined the new uniform order form, prepared by the On-
tario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association, which will soon be ready for
‘use. When a dealer buys a carload of lumber he will be able to use
this form and set forth clearly the quantities, grade, price, terms,
delivery, etc. Then there will be a certain date for the order to be
confirmed by head office and returned to the retajler. Until this con-
firmation is obtained, the retailer has a right to cancel the order.
- After confirmation has been received, the order becomes a contract.
Heretofore retailers often purchased lumber from a traveller.and the
order was not confirmed by head office or the representative has sold
the carload to someone else a few hours later for a dollar or two more
per M, leaving the retailer in the lurch. The new order form would

be a protection for both buyer and seller.

Mr. Reid also touched upon the benefits of a summer outing and
how it was proposed to bring up the matter at the Ontario retailers’
annual meeting of having a fishing club established and a camp opened
_ on Lake Nipissing not far from North Bay, where there was excellent
angling. Everybody, who was a member of the club, could get away

Arthur Ludlam Joins Silent Majority a pine

a Many friends in the lumber industry will regret to learn of
death of Arthur Ludiam, which took place at Leamington, Ont., on
Wednesday, December Ist. He had been ailing for many months and
the end was not unexpected. oo
The late Mr. Ludlam, who was born in Beamsville, Ont., was in —

his 69th year and was the senior member and president of the Ludlam- A
Ainslie Lumber Co., Limited. He was engaged in the retail lumber
business all his life, and at the time of his death was vice-president
of the Southwestern Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association.
He first embarked in the lumber line at Comber, from which place
went to Leamington in 1893. There he entered into partnership —
with the late Thos, Fuiler, under the name of Ludlam & Fuller.

The late Arthur Ludlam,
Leamington, Ont. - —

hile
Twenty-two years ago he acquired the interests of Mr. Fuller and-
conducted the business as an individual until 1904 when he orgam zed
the Ludlam-Ainslie Lumber Co., Limited. ; oO

Mr. Ludlam was twice married, first to Miss Elizabeth Ainslie,

Summerfeldt, who survives. By his first marriage he had ei
children, of whom seven survive. He was a life-long member of
Anglican Church of which in his own town he was a promt
member. wee &

The funeral of Mr. Ludlam, which took place at Leamington 01
December 3rd, was largely attended, several lumbermen being pr
from a distance to pay their last tribute of respect to one whe
always been an honor to the calling and an upright member of th

community.

How One Retailer Views Conditions ~ fa
“T am buying only one-third of the lumber that I normally re-
quire,” remarked a leading Eastern lumber retailer recently. ‘I do not
intend to make any more purchases at the present time than I can
help. I do not know what the future has in store, but, certainly, very
little stock is moving at the present time, and we will not be
to size up the outlook until after the first of the year.
“Farmers are complaining bitterly about their produce gol
down in value, and, as a good deal of our trade is with the rural cor
munity, the members of that community are not disposed to pay
present prices of lumber and are hanging off. Some farmers
becoming confirmed pessimists and believe that war prices shou
prevail on their products for all times. They are among the slowest
to accommodate himself to the spirit of the times and the process of

Bargains! Bargains!! Bargains!!!

By “Onlooker”

Before beginning what I have to say regarding “Bargains,”
I wish to contradict the impression gained by reading the
heading and to state that bargains do not exist. It is quite
an undertaking to write about something which does not exist ;
but the desire to obtain or to distribute something under that
caption exists and inva lively degree, as we of the grip can
testify.

Human nature craves excitement and oftimes evidences
a desire to do something better or obtain its desires more
easily than its neighbors. Coming directly to our own circle

of business acquaintances, we frequently meet the dealer ask-.

ing for something cheap. Cheap in grade or quality? Oh,
my no! but cheap in price! Friends, it cannot be done. The
products of nature or man cannot be bartered at less than
their equivalent either in cash or personal returns.

We, who so often meet with these requests, must not allow
ourselves to be deluded by thinking that we are doing a
kindness to our dealer friend when we give in to his wishes
and seil him even at a slight reduction off our lists. Nor
must he think that because we assure him that his compétitor
has paid us more than we have just closed the order with
him for, he will receive something for nothing. It will not

work out+that way.

_ Before attempting to show why there are no Bargains, let
me say a word in explanation of the application of the previ-
ous words to the lumber retailer and his customers.

Better unsold than at a loss; better a temporary loss of
friendship than a loss eventually of both stock and finally
capital. ; :

Who best determines one’s selling price—the purchaser?
No, the merchant who alone knows the costs which he must

pay before he can set his selling price.

Catering to the public by offering bargains, will not, in
your business as retailers, bring you a permanency of business
so essential to success.

No one has a shorter memory than the public and no
matter in what commodity a person deals, he gets what he
pays for, no more, no less.

_The greater the purchase price or sacrifice, the greater the
consequent returns or achievements.

The law of recompense is just and while the present oppor-
tunities may appear extremely auspicious, the ultimate result
can never vary for, as-a man sells, so shall he balance his
ledgers when the day of accounting arrives.

Always remember that the person purchasing lumber—
and lumber is your business and you can forget all else—
does not as a rule know anything of the early costs entailed
before the articles, which he desires are in a fit and proper
form for him to receive them; he does not know your costs, no
matter how much he may know of business, and no two busi-
nesses can be placed on the same cost basis.

Nor does he expect to receive something for nothing. He
expects to pay and pay justly, no more, no less. Therefore, if
you hand him his purchase, assuring him of a bargain, he
must realize that some one must pay more, so that you may
give him the so-called bargain. He may also expect some day
to be called upon to pay in excess of his just dues,

Competition, if just and fair to all, must be alive, not spas-
modically but all times, and if healthy it will not harm either
yourself or your nearest opposition,

Continuance in a straightforward honorable business, giv-

ing both you and your family an honest sense of justice to

mankind and a fair honest living, is to be more desired than
great riches, quickly attained. The latter invariably bring their
one uneasiness of mind and knowledge that all is not
well.

As retailers of forest products you have within your grasp
the moulding of the appearance of the community which you
serve—the dispensing, at a proper value, of our fast-vanishing
resources of the forest.

To-day it should be your aim to conserve and not destroy ;
to distribute at its proper value—neither inflated—the pro-
ducts of our one time vast forests.

To return the respect of your fellow-man, to hold his con-

UMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER

fidence in your ability to give him value when he makes
a purchase at your place of business, it is not necessary to
give him none of the so-called bargains but to ask a fair and
just return for the commodity which you seil.

It is easily understood that the problems of sale ‘facing
the wholesaler and retailer differ only in their frequency. The
retailer is confronted many more times with the request for
a cheap article than his brother, the wholesaler. It cannot be
oherwise for he meets the mass of his customers every week
whereas he does not desire the services of the wholesaler
but occasionally.

Now I will try to show how I arrive at my opening state-
ment that there are no bargains.

Surveying the forces of nature we find that the one, we all
use, which is as yet in its infancy; and is, possibly, our most
powerful servant, does not waste any of its substance. I refer
to electricity, and the engineers tell us that there is no waste
of electrical energy.

One might take various other servants of man and by
analysis we would learn that they too are never wasteful of
themselves. Man alone wastes, and pays eventually. ;

If you give of your substance to another for an unfair
value, in return you must pay that which he fails to give you,
be it in money or merchandise. s

Should you give for too great a period, you will have
nothing with which to continue in the position of a retail
lumberman. You must pass before the exacting tribunal of
public justice and give way to your more fortunate fellow-
man who provides for the future by asking and receiving a
fair and just return for his labor and investment, be it lumber

- or whatever he offers for sale.

When the Jam Begins to Haul

By a Lumberjack

When you're pickin’ and you're choppin’ out the logs that
key the jam; . ,
While the rushin’ of the water sounds like thunder in your
ears, ee
You must strain your every muscle and you mustnt give a
dam,
Nor give way to foolish weakness, nor give heed ta
nervous fears;
Just be catty, that’s the watchword, and just keep your optics
peeled, ;
For there’s nothing that can save you if you fall: ;
You may say your prayers like lightnin’, for your doom is
surely sealed,
If you ever lose your footin’ when the jam begins to haul.

When the log that you’re achoppin’ snaps so quick you slice
the wind, , J 93
Or you’re axe gets wrested from you and goes whizzin
out of sight,— oe
While the logs take life’ beneath you, and get workin’ up
behind, a ;
Then it’s time that you’re amovin’ and a plannin’ for your
flight.
There’s a log a shootin’ endwise and upon it you must ride,
There’s another rollin’ sidewise like a ball,
And you've got to tread them lightly, if you’d keep the sunny
side,— Cus
It ain’t a time to linger when the jam begjins to haul.

It ain’t like reefin’ up a sail, nor like shinnin’ out a yard,
For the danger’s up above you and around and down below,
When the logs once get aworkin’, they’re a workin’ fast and

hard,
And there’s nothin’ that can save you but to keep upon
the go,— as
You must ride that log a bouncin’ that one thrashin’ like a
flail,

Light and catty you must keep above them all,
‘Though they’re spewin’ through the Black Jaws as if down
hell’s mil}-tail ; '
If you’d live to draw your wages,—when the jam begins to
haul.

Will Cut on Much Reduced Scale

Winter is here in earnest, with from six to eight inches of snow
on the ground, and the river closed to navigation for another year,
says a correspondent from Gagetown, N.B.

-Lumbering operations have started for another season, but the
cut will be much smaller this year than last, owing to the conditions
_ prevailing in the lumber market. Most of the larger operators are
going into the work on a much reduced scale, and a number of smaller
pperators.are not planning to carry on any lumbering this season.

Graphic Description of Triumphant Fishing Jaunt to Snurrevallen—Looking Over
Timber Limit and Counting the Trees in the Whole Area

Dear Old Place! with red paint-
ed clubhouse and white veranda.
You bet we all felt good when we
saw the spot of so many happy
memories and fish stories.

‘Snurrevallen is. situated in a
bend of Osterdalelfven on a slope
right in primeval forests of pine
and spruce, with a clearing sur-
rounding the clubhouse of about
five acres,

The trail from the main road
drops abruptly when entering the
clearing, to a small plateau, and
then from the clubhouse is an-
other drop, down to level land,
about an acre wide from the river
bed, and about three acres long.

There is located the guide’s
house and the “Harbour.”

The guides’ house consisted of
one large room with an open fire-
place, where the guides live and
do their cooking.

: In the harbour were six river boats as described in my previous
article. Bees

Anton Selander, F.E., Montreal ~

Each boat had a name: there was “Elvan,” the “old man’s
boat the best of the flotilla, “Svan” the boat only for guests, a very
fine boat in the rapids “Stromkarlen” the boat that was selected for
us boys, a very good boat, but a little heavy to pole; “Hvalfisken”
that was used by our uncle, a heavy boat that could stand very rough
handling, then “Necken,” and “Svart” our packboats.

The “Old Man’s” guide was Lindquist, he was no good except
when at the oars or when using the landing net in getting the fish
in the boat; our guide was James, a splendid lumberman and one
of the best men in the province for estimating standing limber; then
As he had been a soldier he
was very suitable and obedient to instructions given; then there was
Per another busman and Nyhus all of whom had been in the “Old
Man’s” service for over twenty years. 6

After we had unloaded the pack-horses we began to straighten
up a bit around us and so we had to look over aur fish poles and
fles. When you are river fishing in Sweden you use heavy poles of
hickory fourteen to sixteen feet long and a cast as long as the pole.
On this cast you usually place five to six flies distributed at equal
distance.

Today was the first day and although we boys wanted out at
once, the “Old Man” said that there would be no fishing until next
day, when we were going three miles up the river to a place called

Next morning we had breakfast at seven a.m. and five boats
were ordered to pole up to Fjatros and wait for us there.

Anders packed down a good lunch for-us all, and there was
also something to wash it down with.

About eleven o’clock forenoon we started off on a winding trail

through pine forest, where necer an axe had been. A mile from
Snurrevallen we crossed a small creek of ice cold springwater called

~ Husvallbacken and, of course, it had to be sampled.

After having marched along for an hour and a half, we came out
on a small clearing on the shore of the river, our desination.

All the boats had already arrived and the guides had gone to
sleep on the soft grasscarpet, such grass as you find only just below
the perpetual snowlevel. |

Loose bottoms were taken out of the boats, poles were hammered
in the ground and on top was placed the boat bottoms as a table, them,

smaller poles on each side of the table and boards on top of them

for seats.and our dining room was ready.
Anders soon had lunch ready, a lunch that nobody could kick
on and after lunch cigars, black coffee, and so in the boats.
The “Old Man” started out first with instructions to the rest
of the flotilla to keep about half a mile apart and then to meet further

,

The river is generally of the same width or about three hundred
feet all along.
Took Ten Minutes To Land It

Leaving shore we come right out in a turbulent rapid named
Rappaforsen. Large rocks are scattered here and there in the rapid

and we achored and started to cast our flies.

Brother got the first bite and it was a nice greyling weighing ~

five pounds. It took ten minutes to land it.

While describing brother’s greyling I got one myself, not so
large, but a beauty, so we were even.

Then brother had two on and landed them both, one was a
greyling and the other a rainbow trout, the trout weighed about
two pounds. Then he got another and I did not get a bite and as I
was the oldest I told brother the place was no good and we moved,

We fished all the rapid down until we came into calmer water,
with good luck. /

In calmer water we never anchored but rowed crossways over
the river, letting the boat slowly drift downwards and soon we reached
another rapid called Longbrostet.

The “Old Man” had been teasing the fish everywhere here, so
we had poor luck and we went further down stream to Getholmarna
a short rapid where there used to be some excellent fishing in what
is called hols.

I beat brother this time in landing three once and two twice,
all good sized and all greylings.

Brother did not like it at all and insisted that I took the best

side of the rver, but luck turned and after a while he caught up.

to me.

It was near six o’clock so we moved on and came up alongside
the other boats below the rapid. 3

On the shore of a little bay we had some coffe and sweatbread
and the “Old Man” and uncle as well as the guide mixed some cold
spring water with a yellow fluid, that once had come from Scotand.

After the ceremony was over, a ceremony that was repeated every
day, we spread out again and about eleven at night we all landed
at Snurrevallen.

Every guide collected from his boat underneath the doublle
bottom, the catch, put them in the landing net and disposed the nets
on the shore for inspection.

The result was very satisfying, the “Old Man” had three hundred
and sixty, Uncle had one hundred and fifty and we two boys had
two hundred and four.

The air was very chilly and when we came up to the clubhouse,
Anders had hot water, sugar, sliced lemon*and French Cognac on the
veranda, also a bottle of Swedish punch.

We all had a good warming up before we went in to supper
which consisted of trout and greyling, boiled in butter and water with
green spring onions chopped into it, eaten with boiled potatoes.

After supper we went t6 inspect the salting of the superfluous
fish which were salted and put in kegs, trout in one and greyling in
another and that ended our first day of fishing.

Next morning a council was held and it was decided to go down
river, as we had heard that a party was coming up from below,
fishing all the way, and wanted to be there before they arrived.

Forenoon is generally no good for fishing’ but we had lots to do
in changing flies and comparing the ones we had got most of the fish
on, and to make the reserve casts ready for use. ;

We had late breakfast and after having gone over our fishing -

tackles started out about two p.m.

: Slowly Drifting Down The Stream

We let the flotilla slowly drift down the river, until we reached
the first rapid, a short one called Svanforsen, a spot where we gener-
ally used to get big fish, but not many.

It. was, however, too warm and too early in the afternoon to
bite good, so after having anchored twice, we moved on and came
into calm water called grundfloon.

No luck at all here, so we moved on again to Calbofarsen. Here
we caught a dozen nice trout (rainbow) before we moved on to
another rapid called Halvarsbrostet.

This rapid is very steep and stony and the waves are very ~

high. The guide must use great skill in handling the boat, so that
it will not hang up on the rocks and trun over.

54 "S SANADA LUMBERMAN: AND Sou RES

We navigated the rapid alright, and caught a few greylings and
came down in a smooth running river.

On the northern shore is a clearing covered with grass and here
we landed and had our dinner. '

The “Old Man” did not say much about his luck until dinner
was over, when he asked us to take a look under the bottom, boards
in his boat and so we did and saw something that made us say oh!

There in all its beauty lay a salmon of about twenty-five pounds,
and so promptly had to have the story of how the fellow was caught.

The “Old Man” explained that he had felt a strain on the line
and immediately the reel began to unwind with a rush until about
one hundred and fifty feet of line had been let out.

Lindquist got awfully nervous and trembled all over,
standing that it was a salmon.

For the first minutes the “Moose of the Rapids” would not
budge and, as the “Old Man” expected another rush momentarily
and the line might not be long enough, Linquist was ordered to keep
alert and not as usual let the “anchor go. The “Old Man” succeeded
however to wind in some seventy-five feet of line before the next
rush came so there was enough line left for the salmon to waste his
energy on.

The fight went on for nearly an hour, when Mr. Salmon got
tired and nearly drowned, he was hawled near shore and caught in
the landing net.

I understand that there was a heavy claim on the wet stuff
just after the landing of that fish, but then you don’t land a salmon
every day on a small fly. After dinner we ail separated and we boys
started fishing in front of our dinner place called Bustucroken.

We got some very fine fish here and then we drifted down to
Hellforsen. This rapid was carefully fished through, but the fish
was not the same size as higher up.

At six o’clock p.m. we met again and the ceremony of the day
before was repeated. Then we finished down Hellfloon and at ten
p.m, the “Old Man” in his oat came along, poles upstream giving
orders for return.

To lighten the boats as much as possible for the guides we all
landed and walked back and had no trouble in finding the trail al-
though late as sunset is, up here at this time of the summer, is not
under the horizon more than fifteen minutes around twelve, midnight.

The trail however was very rough and although there is no
- underbrush of hardwood up here, there was quite a lot of dead fallen
- pine and spruce in our way.

We had six miles to go and although we walked as fast as
we could it was nearly midnight when we arrived in camp and supper
tasted splendidly.

Having had supper so ate we were not in bed before the early
hours of the morning and consequently when we awoke it was
pretty late.

As we had tried the river both up and downstream now, it
was decided to use some days in looking over the limit, which the
“Old: Man” expected to get with the club property as soon as the
- crown forests were divided.

under-

Getting the Diameter of ‘the Log

Consequently we were dividéd up in two gangs and each re-
ceived a calipher. Each gang also had a checker with a book in which
the width of the trees were entered, and we counted trees all the day.

After us came the “Old Man,” with two estimators with cali-
yhers on thirten feet long sticks. By pushing the stick above your
head and slipping the calipher over the trees you got a fairly correct
idea of the diameter of the top log.

Several trees of different diameter were so measured, the size of
the second and third log being guessed at, then the average was
taken, and this was used as a basis for the amount of cubic feet
of tumber per tree and, after deducting cost of logging’ and the
drive, you got the value ‘of tree and you ‘had only to count the trees
on the whole area to arrive’at the value of the whole forest which
is not such a complicated thing at it may seem.

We worked hard for three days and on the fourth day we had
counted all of it or seventeen thousand trees.

One day when in the forest we heard in a distance the deep
mellow tones of a herd horn, which is made of birch bark, six feet
long and which can be heard for miles.

Up in these parts of the country, fodder. is very scarce and, as
there were no railways at this time, the cattle were collected from
different owners in herds of from one to two hundred cows and two
robust farm girls walked away to the muskegs followed by the
herds who would follow them and always come at the call of the
~ birch bark horn.

The tones of this horn are wonderfully impressive when you
hear them in the stillness of these vast forests.

Every night the herds come back to the barns in what is called,
fabostalles, or temporary stopping places, where cows are milked

a special rig for the horse on which the baggage was loaded. —

The rig consisted of two thirty feet long Spruce var -*

We had a heavy breakfast, and we started to get read

turn up until half past twelve, and here is what he told us: “In
fishing below Bustuskroken, he had seen something like a bark
moving in an eddy and told his guide Lindqu‘st that he believed
the water was rising and consequently the bigger fish would come
out. Coming nearer to the spot where the bark was supposed to be,
he found to his astonishment that, instead of a piece of bark it was
_the fin of a salmon, and looking sharp at it-he saw a small wound

close to it. Taking a pole he rapped right over the water where the

_ and he considered the incident closed. But a little further down-
___ stream they came on the same piece of bark. This time he drove the
pole, end first, down in the water and succeeded in hitting the salmon
__ tight in the back. The fish turned belly up at once and was caught
in the landing net. It weighed seventeen pounds.”

Bie ta ata The Lumber Dealer and the Farmer

re In recent articles in this paper, lumber deaJers have been

__ up in trade territories composed largely of farms is that of obtaining

and maintaining an adequate supply of farm labor, says the Long-
Bell Bulletin.
_ On many farms, unfortunately, the “unrest” among farm labor
is traceable directly to the lack of suitable quarters. A farmer hires
a man and gives him quarters either in his own house or in a tenant
| house unsuitable for occupancy. The man soon becomes dissatisfied.
He has no place of his own. Particularly if he is married, he sees
ae no opportunity ahead of being so much a part of that farm as to

The Salesman—Missionary to the Trade

A Salesman occupies a peculiarly important position in the
organization. He is the conveyor as between production and
the market, the connection between cost and selling prices;
and as the degree of his efficiency, so will be the degree of
profits—all else being equal, says the “Log of Long Bell” He
is the missonary of his industry; an educator of his trade.
The industry looks to him to carry the work of its product
to the buying world; it looks to him to create a confidence
in its product and a demand for it, and then to secure a price
equal or better than competition in its class. It looks to him
to assist in establishing and maintaining a reputation as a~
producer of goods of quality. He is one of its most important”
advertising mediums. It looks to him to overcome undue
prejudice, and to climinate unjust claims; to act in the capa-
city of a judge in the matter of credit worth and risk, and to
collect or assist in the collection of slow accounts. It ex-
pects the salesman to have confidence in himself and in its
product.

From the viewpoint of the customer, the salesman is the
representative of supply and its cost. It is the salesman who
brings to the buying world word of the condition of supply.
and the extent of demand. He is looked to as the conveyor
of information as to the condition of the market in his terri-
tory. And if he be the right kind of salesman—the one who
gets close to his trade—his advice and counsel will be sought
as to the time to buy, and the quantity. His judgment will
have. weight in guarding against an over-stock and in pre-
venting a supply detrimentally inferior to the demand. He
will be an educator to his trade of the merits of the product
he sells; will inform of its various uses, and suggest new
fields for its consumption. He will propagate his particular
brand of products over all competition, and be prepared with
facts and figures to substantiate his contention.

’ So, as it stands between the Manufacturer and the Sales-
man, and as between the Salesman and his trade:

Confidence creates co-operation; and the right kind of
confidence begets the righi kind of co-operation,

The Manufacturer who does not place every confidence
in his salesman should not expect the salesman in turn to
have full and complete confidence in him. Neither should
he expect him to be able to influence his trade to a full con-
fidence in the article produced, nor in the manufacturer, nor
in the salesman himself. He should not expect confidence
and representation from the salesman if he hold that salesman
in a position which lacks the possibilities of efficient represen-
tation, and is indicative of or lacking in ability to create
confidence. If he would have his salesman gain the confidence
of his trade and Strongly represent him in his appointed field,
individuality of position will be the key to a successful reali-
zation of that objective.

A position lacking in indviduality does not command the
full co-operation of the co-workers. The trade also senses
it, perhaps unconsciously, and as unconsciously it has its de-
trimental effect. They sense the lack of confidence placed
in him by those he represents, and they, in turn, refuse their
confidence. His power of influence is abrogated or to a great
extent destroyed. And not only does the representatives suffer
in consequence, but the represented as well.

A manufacturer will pay out thousands of dollars in ad-
vertising ; he will name his wares before the public so that
‘he who runs may read;” and yet, in too many instances, he
will hide the light of his most brilliant medium of advertising
under a bushel—he refuses sufficient publicity (Individuality
ef Position) to his salesman.

If the manufacturer would secure to his representative
the open door of confidence, let him place him in a position
of individuality, have confidence in him, advertise him, that
he in turn may create confidence in the manufacturer and his
products among his trade, and that he may advertise those
products to a position a step or two above competition, Let
the manufacturer place the salesman to himself, and have the
trade refer to him alone their requirements. Let him supply
the salesman with the necessary assistants; give him his
territory and let him alone sell that territory. The confidence
placed in the salesman by the manufacturer and the sales-
man's Own personality count with the trade. Advertise those
qualities. A brand will represent quality, but it takes a sales-
man to sell the brand. Advertise him.

An Aggressive Lumber Salesman

John Hall, 160 Huron Sy aed by oe
ronto, who represents the W. M.
Ritter Lumber Co., Coiumbus,
Ohio, is widely known to the
Canadian consumers of hard-
wood, He has been ,with the
firm for nine years, calling upoa
the wholesale and retail, trade,
manufacturers and others. The
W.M. Ritter Lumber Co. recent-
ly joined the Wholesale Lumber
Dealers’ Association.

Mr. Hall was present at the
last meeting, being accorded a
hearty reception. Born in West
Virginia, he spent his boyhood
days in Richmond and his first
job was as tally-boy with the
Deverex Lumber Co. of Charles-
ton, W. Va., with whom he re-
mained seven years, serving in
various capacities which gave
him a practical, all-round know-
ledge of the lumber game. He
then went into business for himself, which he followed for some four
or five years previous to becoming associated with Mr. Ritter. Mr.
Hall has had twenty-one years’ insight in the lumber line and remem-
bers Mr. Ritter when that gentleman started out with one mule and
a truck drawing out logs for a little circular mill. To-day the Ritter

asters of the patriarch Job,’ Charles Pedwell, of Lion’s Head, Bruce
county, sawmiller and lumberman, had been in 1912 abundantly
solvent, worth $75,000, according to his own estimate, and $25,000,
according to his banker’s.
“whom unmerciful disaster followed fast and followed faster.” In
1919 he was hopelessly insolvent, and on November 21st, 1919, as-
signed to Osler Wade, of Toronto, for the benefit of his creditors.

In July, 1912, in the days of his prosperity; Mr. Pedwell had given
his wife certain property for an expressed consideration of $9,800.
She had granted him the right, on the same day as the gift, to cut
timber on the land for twenty years. This right he mortgaged with
his bank to secure the ready money, $9,800, which he required to close
a contract for the purchase of a valuable timber property in which he
was associated with a man named Tackaberry. The gift to his wife
was part of a plan to raise the necessary funds. The bank not being
able to advance money on the land, the bank and the bank’s lawyers
devised this scheme to circumvent the provisions of the Bank Act.

In the days of Mr. Pedwell’s adversity his former business asso-
ciate and friend instigated legal action which the assignee had not
desired to take. The action attacked the gift of these lands to Mrs.
Pedwell, who has since died, as being fraudulent and void as against
Mr. Pedwell’s creditors. Mr. Justice Middleton, Toronto, recently
gave judgment dismissing the action with costs, pointing out that the
property given to the wife was but an insignificant fraction of Mr.
Pedwell’s wealth in 1912, holding that there was an effective gift of
the property, and that there was nothing further from Mr. Pedwell’s
mind than to defeat or defraud his creditors, ;

Mrs. Pedwell died intestate in 1915. Mr. Pedwell’s share of the
property has passed to his assignee for the benefit of his creditors. Ut
was the share which would pass to her six chéldren which Mr, Ped-
well’s creditors have vainly attempted to seize.

Comprehensive Review of Lumber Operations

A general survey of conditions in the lumber industry in Canada
is given in the last issue of the Labor Gazette, Ottawa, which says:
Labor was generally reported scarce during October in the lumber
camps in the Maritime provinces, Quebec and Ontario. Charlotte-
town reported quiet conditions in the industry. The saw and shingle
mills at St. John and I’redericton were still running. Bathurst re-
ported the demand for men to be less than last year, and the camps
were beginning to fill. In Quebec district the sawmills were actively
engaged in finishing their season's cuts. The mills at Sherbrooke
were fairly active and the logging, tie and other surrounding camps

were busy. At St. John’s and Iberville sawmill workers were still
employed. One sawmill at Ottawa and Hull closed during the month;
some improvement was reported before-the month closed in the water
power situation. Peterborough reported the lumber camps yery active
and taking on all available men; the saw and shingle mills continued.
busy. A strong demand for loggers was reported from Timmins,
Pembroke, North Bay and Cobalt. The saw and shingle mills at
Owen sound were still active. Sault Ste. Marie, Port Arthur and
Fort William reported a shortage of men for the woods. A demand
for bushmen for the prairie provinces was reported from Winnipeg, —
Regina, Edmonton and other employment centres, the fine weather
tending to keep many men working on the farms. A considerable
curtailment of production was reported in the lumber industry of
British Columbia. At Fernie the lumbering industry was reported
rather quiet owing, it was said, to the unsettled condition of the
prairie and American markets, the new freight rate increase and un- —
settled labor conditions; the closing of some mills and the return of —
laborers from the prairies reduced the previous labor shortage; the

pole and tie branch was also rather quiet. The lumbering industry —
was very slack at Nelson and Trail, many mills closing down; some, —
it was said, because of a shortage of cars, and some because of low
prices or high railway rates. Some demand for loggers was reported Erte
from Kamloops and Vernon. Vancouver reported that a number of
camps closed down towards the end of the month, and saw and shingle
mills less active; tie makers and piece workers on poles and Mors at
were in demand for interior points on the Grand Trunk Pacific Rail- “4
way. At New Westminster several lumber mills were already curtail ~
ing operations owing to the unsatisfactory state of the market or
shortage of cars, and one mill closed down, throwing about 170 men
out of work. Prince Rupert reported most of the lumber camps as :
still busy, but a few of the smaller camps closed for the winter; the “6
tie camps along the G. T. R. Railways were opening up. Victoria
and Nanaimo reported some decline on Vancouver Island from the

activity of the past months, several mills ceasing operations On ac- ~
count, it was said, of the dull market and high freight rates.

Bargain Lumber Sale Advt. Did Not Pull

Is there such a thing as “bargain lumber” from the retailer's
standpoint and how far would a special publicity campaign, proclaim-,
ing cut prices or a sacrifice sale be successfub?

A well-known retail lumberman in Manitoba city, got a chance
to buy several carloads of lumber at a very low price and thought
he could clear up money on the deal by some catchy advertising, the
same as is often presented in the announcements of dry goods stores,
shoe merchants, clothing houses and others. Here is the way he
relates his experience :— ‘

“We appreciate that coming out in the paper with a
splashy price in lumber is a unique proposition, but from our

experience we are inclined to think that this is our first and .
last effort in that direction. We had in mind trying to dis- =
pose of about $10,000 worth of stock, but our effort proved

anything but satisfactory. In our opinion, lumber purchas-

ers are no different from the general public and seem to think

that when there is a drop, it is time to stay out of the market

as this is only a starter. We think that was the case here.
“We are extremely sorry that we cannot give you a

better report than this as we would have liked to have had

the lumber move, especially when we can buy it at about —

$10.00 per M. less to-day. While we favor newspaper pub-

licity and straight-forward business talks on stock, service,

delivery, building prospects, etc., for the retail lumberman,

we cannot endorse, with any degree of assurance, a bargain

campaign, a cut-rate move or a sacrifice sale, the same as :

merchants in other lines advertise and get away with suc-~

cessfully. In our little excursion into this arena we, as lum-

bermen, have to report a reverse, much as we would like to

>¢ sabe’
record a success.” :

Canadian Trees Over Brave Canadians saa

Hon. Honore Mercier, Minister of Lands and Forests, has
had shipped five thousand maple and elm trees to the forest service
in Belgium, through the channel of the Quebec Government agent, —
Mr. Godfroi Langlais, at Brussels. These trees are sent by Mr. Mer-—
cier, who asks that, as they were grown in the Quebec Province nurs- —
ery, situated at Berthierville, P. Q., they be planted in the grave cen-—
ters of France and Flanders, where the Canadian soldiers who fought —
and died during the great war, were buried. This will, no doubt, —
give consolation to the parents and families of those brave soldiers —
who made the supreme sacrifice for the allied cause and Christian
civilization. It will be at the same time please the families and Can- &

“aS Why Pulpwood is Worth the Money
~~ ~Writing the “Canada Lumberman” a leading eastern pulpwood
/ concern says: The pulpwood situation is very much mixed at pre-
___ sent and we scarcely know where we stand. It is true that American
__ mills are just at the present staying out of the market, but we antici-
_ pate that they will all be back together with the result that the price
—_will be maintained.

It is hard to say whether or not there has been an over-production
___ of pulpwood, but it is quite apparent that many dealers are willing
to accept much more reasonable prices than they have been receiving
during thé past fall and summer. Prices on pulpwood were no doubt
inflated the demand for spot wood that existed during the sum-
mer and fall months, and it looks now as if quotations may go back
_ ~- to where they were last spring, of a delivered basis somewhere

kin

around thirty-three dollars Watertown. :
a As far as we are concerned we are not purchasing at the present
or: time, but reports of any sales made would give us the impression

that perhaps prices have fallen about five dollars per cord below the
recent high level, making a figure of about twenty-five dollars f.o.b.
cars Quebec Central to the shipper on the most favorable freight rate.
This -price would, of course, be reduced by additional freight rate
from more isolated points of shipment. These prices are quoted on
. sap-peeled spruce and balsam pulpwood, ;
A __ Quite a quantity of rossed wood was made this fall, and quite
a few lumbermen anticipate putting their logs into pulpwood this
i winter, but we are inclined to think this will be discouraged on account
: of the present low market. We are of the opinion that there is suf-
_ ficient pulpwood for the 1921 requirements, and for this reason are
discouraging further manufacture of either rossed or rough pulpwood
_ for the market, asking our shippers to concentrate on making sap-
_ peeled pulpwood in the spring of next year for the 1922 market.
* _ The present facts in the pulpwood situation that must be taken
into consideration constitute good argument for this country against
_, the Underwood resolution, in that, by paying good prices for pulp-
_ wood there is no question that a sufficient output can be obtained tc
take care of all the requirements of both the Canadian and American
mills. Heretofore before the:war, our farmers practically got nothing
‘for their stumpage, selling their pulpwood for about the labor cost
that was put into it at a small margin of profit. Our people should
wake up to the fact that their stumpage is a valuable asset, and as it
is something that cannot be reproduced in this generation they should
demand a reasonable price for it.
: There is not much demand for other kinds of pulpwood outside
_of spruce and balsam, and when pulpwood is made from hemlock or
jack pine it is rather difficult to dispose of, there being very few
mills who can use this product. ;

ae _ Equipping New Rossing Plant at Bancroft
_ “The Hydro Electric Power Commission of Ontario who oper-
ate a pulp and paper _mill at Campbellford, Ont., are putting in a
_rossing plant at Bancroft, Ont., from which place most of their
wood is procured. Previous to this they simply had the logs cut into
___ ~ 2 ft. wood and loaded on cars for shipment to Campbellford where
: it was barked on disc barkers, but now they intend to cut up the logs
and bark them right at Bancroft. For this purpose they have recently
placed orders with the Wiiliam Hamilton Company of Peterboro
for complete barking outfit, including three strand log haul-up, eight
saw pulpwood slasher cutting the wood into 2 ft. lengths, and also
_ an 8x30" barking drum on rollers, together with the necessary con-
___veyors and transmission machinery. The power will be supplied by
two (2) 66’x16" boilers, and 20x24” engine. This equipment will
-greatiy increase the supply of barked wood for their pulp mill, and
it is expected that they will be able to ship from six to eight cars of
barked wood every day. The foundations for the machinery have
* already been laid, and it is expected that they will be ready to com-
__mence operations around the Ist. of May.”

self-supporting through the co-operation of individual manufacturers —
and groups of manufacturers who may desire to make use of its facili-

ties. Such industries as desire, furthermore, will be furnished oppor-

tunities to install their own facilities and employ their own staffs

for carrying on work of any specialized character, all under the gen-

eral supervision and guidance of the institute’s executive staff. It is

proposed to make the institute independent of the Civil Service Com-

mission in order that appointments to its staff may not be subjected -
to the salary limitations ordinarily placed upon public Servants in —
Canada and which would otherwise prevent the employment of highly-

trained, skilled experts such as would be necessary to make the insti-

tute of real service.

A committee of technical experts of the pulp and paper have -
reported to the association in favor of hearty co-operation with the
council. It is proposed that the industry shall engage its own tech-
nical director and staff and equip and maintain its own laboratory,
in conjunction with the general government plan. Among the pro-
posed objects of research in such a laboratory would be: Deterinin-—
ing the output of fiber extractable from different wood species by
the various processes employed; development of by-products such as
alcohol from waste sulphite liquor; studying the effect of fungi in
wood; developing means for the utilization of hardwoods in making ~
pulp, and the study of many other problems confronting the industry.
The new institute would probably, among other things, absorb the
forest products laboratory, now carried on by the Government in~
connection with McGill University.

Discussing the future of the industry, a leading authority stated ~

recently that the Canadian pulp and paper industry had naturally re-

ceived adverse comments of late from the heavy declines of many pulp —

and paper stocks in the market, but, the losses were in the speculative
stocks and the change did not affect all the companies, and, after all,
the biggest decline might, from speculative reasons, have taken place

in the case of companies which were most firmly established and

highest in earning power. Canadian paper companies would have an
advantage for some time because of the lower cost of production
through proximity to raw materials, while at the same time having
the advantage of the price being fixed in the United States market,

fixes the price, as it still has a larger production of paper. In a few
years, however, that condition might change, and the price be fixed
in Canada, when the production here exceeds the production across
the line. The region at the head of Lake Superior seemed well suited
to the paper industry, because of the large consumption in the middle
Western States, and because of the great quantities of wood available,
much of it from territory that had been previously cut over by lum-

The Future of Pulp, Paper and Timberlands
By Frank J. D. Barnjum, Annapolis Royal, N. S.

No one should be deceived by the present lull in business in so
far as pulp and paper are concerned, as this particular line is in a class
by itself and any decline in price will be very transitory as this in-
dustry differs from any other, owing to the short supply of wood, its
raw material, which will be the price controlling factor for the future.

There are so many paper companies who own either no lands
at all or very small holdings who will be forced out of business on
that account, that there will be a continued shortage of pulp and paper
from the time business once takes its normal stride, which in all prob-
ability will be not later than next March.

The foregoing statements apply with equal force to the lumber »
situation, and as soon as building begins next spring prices for lumber ~
will be higher than have yet obtained.

Within two years timber lands will be selling in the State of ;

Maine, for instance, for fifty dollars per acre. Il am willing to stake
my reputation on this, and | shall leave it to my friends to state
whether or not my predictions in the past in connection with timber
lands have been correct.

When one considers that land in Maine has already sold for
thirty dollars and more per acre, and stumpage contracts have already
been made at prices running up to nine dollars and fifty cents per
cord, it is not a very far cry to fifty-dollar land and thirteen-dollar
stumpage.

Within two years there will be little, if any, wood going out of
Canada, and I shall leave the reader to imagine what will happen
when this annual supply of a million and a half cords is no longer
available to the American mills.

This will bé simply a case of self preservation on the part of
Canada, as her own mills have absolutely no wood to spare. The
Province of Quebec has already been forced to notify her large limit-
holders that they must reduce the cut on their Crown Lands one-half.
This will necessitate the purchasing by the Canadian mills of all fee-
land wood which has been going across the line; otherwise they will
be prematurely forced out of business themselves.

Personally, | will not sell an acre of land, a cord of stumpage,
or a cord of wood at any price. This is the advice which I have given
all of my friends for the past year. | am not cutting a cord of wood
on my holdings, but am buying wood and stumpage, and have stocked
my mills for the coming year in this way.

The facts above stated are all indicative of our only too short
timber supply, and further emphasize the necessity of practicing
greater conservation.

A word further to the paper mills. Don’t be deceived by a present
supply of wood in the mill yard and at the railroad sidings, as every
cord of extra wood cut this year means a cord less standing.

In the, wood we are now cutting we are simply robbing our
children. ;

The present accumulation of cut pulp wood has been brought
about by the four following causes:

1. A temporary recession in business during the readjustment
period, which was bound to ‘come. ‘

2. The increase in price for woods which helped to pay for the
longer haul, as much of the wood that has been cut recently is from
the very back end of many of four timber lots.

3. An attempt on the part of land owners in the bud worm
killed area to salvage at least a small portion of the bug killed timber.

4. The fact that lumber has temporarily dropped in price, owing
to the delay in building, causing a diversion of logs from lumber to
pulp wood. ;

The great trouble with the paper companies is that they are
always living in the present, forgetting the past when at times they
have already known where the next carload of wood was to come from,
and disregarding the larger and more permanent shortage of the
future, | gid

The latest reports which I have received from cruisers in New
Brunswick now raise the amount of loss in the standing wood supply
of that Province from the recent attack of the bud worm to approx1-
mately fifty per cent., so when you look at the, present wood pile don’t
lose sight of any of the above facts.

It is far better to look this situation squarely in the face and en-
deavor by every. means at our ¢ommand to prepare for the future.
Therefore, anything that can be said or done which will tend to arouse
the public to a realization of the danger that is confronting us with
regard to our future timber supply is a public work of the first im-
portance. :

Tractors to Haul Wood on Ice
Due to the freezing of the river north of Grand Piles, 1,000 cords
of hardwood belonging to Laurentide that were cut near the Mani-
'gance Rapids during the late summer are still in the woods. An
experiment is to be made shortly with a few loads of the wood which
will be brought to the mili by the tractors which are at the Proulx
nursery of the Forestry Department. If the cost of bringing in the
hardwood over the ice by means of the tractors is not too expensive,
it is likely that much of the wood will be brought in during the win-
ter. The hardwood, it will be recalled, is to be used for the manu-
facture of groundwood pulp, experiments having shown that certain
varieties of hardwood may be used advantageously.

New Industrial City Will Spring Up ae

A new city, whose name, Saguenay City, is already incorporated, is —
to be built, beginning next spring, near Kenogami, Lake St. John
county, by the Price Brothers & Co. This firm intends to establish
there a very large pulp and paper plant. The contractors say they will
need at least 4,000 men next spring.

Lumber is Bound to Bring Good Price

Wr'ting to a prominent Ontario wholesaler a leading
Eastern man thus sizes up the lumber situation, present and
prospective :—

“We all realize that deflation in many commodities that —
have been artificially manipulated and driven much beyond
their value, is necessary and has got to come. For instance,
sugar, coffee, tea, rice and many other lines that there were
tremendous stores of in the Orient and were left there to ac-
cumulate for at least three years owing to the impossibility of
getting shipping to move it. Java in particular was at its
wits ends to find storage for many of the above commodities.
Where an artificial shortage has been created, naturally, when ee
these came on the market it brought a tremendous slump in
many of them, possibly carrying things further than there was = oy
any need of, through tightness of money, high exchange, and |
the natural tendency of the individual who had carried things |
away beyond thejr value to throw on the market regardless of
results once it seemed to be going against him. ite

“The lumber situation is entirely different. The world’s |
production of lumber for several years has been under normal, ee
and produced at a tremendously increased cost. The increased :
prices until this year, in the opinion of many, did not meet
the increased cost of production, and I think you wiil find that
with the wage reduction in labor that is being brought about
by unemployment in many of the trades, a tremendously in-
creased building programme is gaing to be brought about in ns
the coming year. F

“They are in bad shape on the Continent. A shortage of
houses, and practically the only competition that this con-

.

tinent has, has been from Sweden these last few years. Rus- | :
sia was a large producer of lumber and, to a great extent, our |
prices for export were determined by their cost of laying down a
in France, or the British Isles. They have not been a factor m4
for several years and, under the conditions now existing and ;
likely to exist for some time, are not likely to be a factor for -
at least two or three years’ time, many think five. The bulk an P
then has got to be produced on this continent, and from the — :
present outlook, we are going to have the smallest lumber
production in 1921 that we have had in many years. 2
You speak of spruce prices. I will venture to assert that as

in the provinces of Quebec and New Brunswick in the coming 2
year, there will not be made over forty-five to fifty percent. |
of the normal production. The pulp and paper producers are ~ Py
“<

the governing factors for wages in the woods now, and have
been for approximately the last three years. Practically allof |
them, with the exception of a very odd one, are short of pulp ~ 4
at the present time and are paying prices, and are willing to jae
pay more if necessary, in order to get the stock. The prices sae
being paid at many points east of Montreal, and I know where- Ree
of I speak, equal $60.00 per M. or better in the log forthe |
small sizes. You will find that many of the smaller mills will |
not produce spruce this winter, nor in the coming summer. |
I know of several instances where mills normally making from
500,000 to 2,000,000 feet, will not produce any in this coming ~| —
year, and have made contracts for rossed wood for they can
make more money in this way than by putting it into lumber.

“If this is the case, and with the tremendously increased
building programme which nine out of ten admit has got to
come, through easier money—and money is going to be a lot
easier and cheaper after the New Year—and with more com-
petition for work, more efficiency in the trades, and labor,
lumber prices are not going to be considered very much in the
aggregate, for on the average contract lumber is not a factor
to exceed 17-18 per cent. of the total cost.

“There is a great variance of opinions on these matters,
and I love to discuss them with the man who is prepared to
cross swords, so to speak.. What we want to-day is vision,
well balasted, and nerve. Everything is going to be right, and
I believe with the turn of the year, or shortly after it, we are
going to have a number of very prosperous years ahead of us.”

Quotations are Not on Legitimate Basis Relative to Cost of Production’

When lumber inquiries get beyond the curios:ty stage, and crys-
tallize into real-honest-to-goodness orders, the purchasers will find
on the part of British Columbia lumber producers a readiness to serve,
amounting to aiacrity. They will also find a spirit of co-operation
with respect to securing the best material for any particular order,
and a desire to foster the re-awakening trade by every means in their
power. One means will be the modest price basis which will continue
to prevail, by all appearances, for some time to come.

Another very valuable means will be in the assurance of being
able to supply promptly stocks to almost any specification, says the
Vancouver correspondent of the “Canada Lumberman.” Of that there
can be no question, for the stocks exist in the hands of the producers,
_and are fuliy up to normal, and very far beyond any prospective de-
mands so far in evidence. .

It is somewhat difficult to get real statistics of lumber stocks on
hand at any definite date. The practice of the mills in the Coast as-
sociation is to report an estimate quarterly and an exact figure, as near
as obtainable, from actual inventory at the end of each year. The
Mountain association mills are in a somewhat different position,
as so many of them close down at the beginning of the winter season.
Their stocks at that time can be very closely figured, especially in a
year like this when the outgoing orders are reduced to very small
compass.

_~

Capacity to Deliver the Goods.

Some idea of the stocks on hand this year in comparison with other
recent years can be gathered from a few figures secured from official
sources in the two British Columbia associations. These figures show

_ that there is nothing alarming in the present situation, with so many
mills shut down and the log production dropping to zero. The fact
is that it would afford the lumber manufacturers of the province of
British Columbia the extremest pleasure to have their capacity to

“deliver the goods” put to the utmost test. They are not in the least
‘L-kely to have that strain put upon them for a few months at least,

- but whenever they do, they will demonstrate their abiity to take on
all comers at any specifications and at almost any notice, car service
being about the only thing that might put a bar on their activities.

As to actual stocks in sight in the mill yards of the Coast and
Interior, here are some figures which will serve at least as a guide in
forming an opinion on the capability of the mills to make deliveries:

The mills in the B. C. Lumber & Shingle Manufacturers’

_ Association—the Coast mills—had on hand at Sept. 30, 1920,—

two months ago, 147,000,000 feet of lumber. September 30,

_ 1919, the total was 168,000,000 feet; December 31, 1919, the

_ inventory total reported (final figures) was 163,000,000 feet.

The Mountain Lumber Manufacturers’ Association mills had

stock on hand at September 30, in the past five years, as fol-

lows: 1916, 103,000,000 feet; 1917, 8,000,000 feet; 1918, 154,-
1920, 154,000,000 feet.

_ From the above figures, it is seen at once that the situation at the
present time is that stocks of lumber now in the hands of the. manu-
facturers are well up to normal. In the case of the Mountain mills
the present stocks are greater than those of a year ago. The Coast
mils have somewhat less than at Sept. 30 last year, and than at the
end of the yéar, but, the amount is not enough less to make any serious

__ difference in the lumber situation. That the latest available figures

are for Sept. 30 of this year is not an important matter either, for the
very good reason that any sell’ng done in the past two months will
be found to have been more than offset by the lumber cut in the same

_ per:‘od. That the Coast mills in particular have been cutting more

‘ than they have been selling since Sept. 30, is not disputed by anv one
—it 1s too well known. Of course in the past few weeks that condition
is. correction, for the milis have been curtailing
“their output, and more m/lls have been shutting down. Practically all
Mountain mills are down, and most of them cut their season shorter
than usual, s:moly because of the dull market. The cut in the Moun-

tain districts will be greater this year than last, though shipments
have been considerably less.

3

put, and in the main are working ‘on orders, such as the ral.way tie
export orders still unfinished. The coast logging camps are almost
all closed down or closing. The mills of the interior, which nearly all
do their own logging, are getting out some logs, -yut the majority of
them will not get out many this winter unless there is much better
prospect for business next season.

One might be ied to think that with all this closing down a sudden
awakening of the market would find the manufacturers unprepared to
cope with it. But so far as the mills are concerned, most of them are
utilizing the shut-down to put their plants in repair and refit them
generally. The logging camps could start up at short notice if there
was a demand for logs. The labor situation is not likely to cause any
difficulty. With the Government Employment Bureau sending out dis-
tress signals to. other parts of the Dominion warning all men seeking
empioyment to stay away from British Columbia, there is no fear of
dearth of labor for logging camp or sawmill, should they all start at
once. c

Unemployment is on the increase in British Columbia centres at —
the present time, with very little prospect of relief. The only possible
source of employment is that which might offer if real and not feigned
activity were to start on sundry projected public works, for which the
Ottawa Government has let a number of contracts. Among these are
the Bailantyne pier and the big dry-dock at Vancouver. Of minor i
possibilities are the improvements to the Canadian Northern Ter- —
minals at False Creek, Vancouver. All of these, and others, would
afford employment for a good many men, but it is rather more than |
suspected that the men in authority are “swinging the lead” on all of |
these propositions, whatever the reasons may be behind the delays. —
The only work in sight for the several thousand out-of-works who
have reported in coast cities, is a small.amount of street work and

_ road work started by the city of Vancouver and the provincial govern-= j

ment. Most of the logging camp employees have by now drifted to:
the cities and could not get work if they tried. |

No Chance of Any Lower Prices.

So far as the market is concerned, the lumbermen are a unit on
the question of taking on future business and dating it forward ‘at-
present day prices. While nearly all would be ready to discuss real
orders and to quote present current prices, none would commit them-
selves to giving those prices for orders dated, say three months hence.
It is a fair summary of the situation to say that lumber sellers are not
a bit more anxious to sell on present basis than buyers are to buy.
Possibly the sellers are less willing to do business than the buyers.

The seller knows that there is not a chance in the world of prices
going lower, as present quotations are not on a legitimate basis relative
to cost of production. Even if some elements of cost were to be re-
duced, it would only have the effect of putting future production more
nearly on a parity with cost of production, should present selling

i

figures stand. Stocks now in hand were not produced at a cost that
shows a profit when disposed of at present current rates.

Use of Tractors in Woods Operations

Lighter Machines are the Best and Will Play Important
Part in Lumber and Log Hauling .

There appeared recently a photographic illustration showing a
ten-ton caterpillar tractor with four loaded eight-wheel log wagons
trailing behind it. Underneath it was this line: “Ten-ton tré ictors
are now able to pull thirty-ton loads over our dirt highways.”

For some time now there has been keen interest on the part of
both millmen and tractor makers.in the subject of tractors ‘in the
woods, especially in the lowland logging woods for logging opera-
tions. Many experiments are being “tried. Some are proving dis-

appointing, some sd that mistakes have been made, some demon-

strate remarkable j{ossibilities, and gradually we are getting at some
understanding of the possible future, nature and extent of the useful-
ness of the tractor in the logging woods.

A friend of the writer has had a ten-ton tractor in some logging
operations in the hardwood belt of Louisiana quite a while now, and
the picture referred to was so suggestive of this instance that follow-

ing its appearance, the owner of the tractor in question was inter-

viewed as to how it was getting along aand as to whether he thought
tractors were to replace “short. line logging roads, or whether their
mission would be more to replace horses, mules and cattle in logging.

The Main Trouble
First he told of some troubles he had had with the tractor. It
is a ten-ton caterpillar, one of those ‘tanks’ made famous by the
war, and he said he thought he had made a mistake in the size; that
a five-ton would have been better. He said the ten-ton tractor would

“pull thirty tons with proper trailers behind it, in fact it would pull

anything that would hitch onto it, but that was not, the trouble. The
trouble happened to the things it was pulling. In the logging woods,
if the wheels of a wagon mired down, or if it stuck a stump or some-
thing, the tractor would march right ahead and often the wagon
would be torn to pieces. That, he said was the main trouble, hitting
obstructions in the woods with the wagons. He figures that a small-
er tractor, with only one or two wagons trailing behind, will give
better results in logging operations proper.

He figured, however, that with a larger size good service can be
had in short hauls over good dirt roads to the railway; that is, a ten-
ton tractor with a proper equipment can be made to haul a carload °
at a time, of lumber or similar products, and in many instances it will
solve the hauling problem from mills in the woods to the railroad.

Great Service Possibilities

From his experience he was very emphatically of the opinion
that the tractor will not, to any extent, replace logging railroads. He
does think, however, it will, to a great extent, replace horses, mules
and oxen and in this respect will render great services. He thinks
for the woods operations the lighter machines will be better, and for
all tractor work. whether hauling logs or hauling the lumber to the
railroad, the tractor wagons should be specifically designed for tract-
or work. -The great trouble with hitching the ordinary wagon be-
hind the tractor is in tearing up the wagons and pulling them to
pieces: when they hit some obstruction.

The indications are that tractors and trucks will both play an
important part in log and lumber hauling from now on. The cater-
pillar type of tractor especially offers advantages in the lowlands for
logging operations. Both trucks and tractors should do much to
help solve the problem of hauling from country points to railroads.

It will take some time to dev elop proper roads in some instances,

and from experimenting we will have to learn the types of tractor

best adapted to a given service or kind of ground, but during the next
vear or two, we should be able to develop from the experimental into
the readily practical and successful use of tractors on a larger scale in
woods operations.—J. Crow Taylor ine “Lumber. bi!

How Service is Taking Hold To-Day

If we were asked: what great idea.and ideal had taken ‘hold of the
minds and hearts of men in the last ten years to a greater extent than
ever before- in the world’s history, we would immediately answer,
“The idea of service.’

We hear and see more’ of “Service” in a religious, a social and
a scientific way than ever before. We have:seen in the past five or
six years the spectacle of men giving up their time and talent with-
out thought of remuneration that whole nations of people, thousands
of miles away, might be clothed and féd. We have seen scientific
-people from
the ravages of disease. We have seen millions of men die for a cause,
often the cause of others than, themselves, and we have all been called

upon to give our time and money to an extent we wotld’not have
dreamed possible six years aago.

We have learned to chintes in terms of the other fellow’s interest

What Canada is Doing in Pulp Line

What the pulp and paper in-
dustry means to Canada and her
future ‘development was empha-
sized in a recent instructive ad-
dress delivered by A. L. Dawe, of
Montreal, secretary of the Cana-
dian Pulp and Paper Association.
before the Kiwanis Club in Mont-
real. He spoke of the remarkable
growth of the industry and laid
stress on the splendid position of
the newsprint trade, by reason of
the large export to the United
States, which had resulted as a
consequence of the passing of far-
seeing provincial laws restricting
the export of the raw material,
and a free market on the other
side of the line, which the Cana-
dian mills had had during the last
few years. In passing, he re-
marked that Canada now supplied
over one-third of the total con-
sumption of newsprint in the

‘United States, which at present represented over 200 million tons
per annum.

He pointed out that while the Canadian mills were utilizing the
forests of the country in making paper, they were also broad enough
to see the future and the rights of posterity in the country’s natural
assets. In fact, he intimated that extensive reforestation plans were
now being carried out by the larger companies; and, in addition to
this, some of the companies had already sent experts to Europe to
study forest husbandry systems developed there, and were planning
to concentrate on this matter in the next few years. He urged his
audience, as Canadians, to do everything possible to increase the in-
terest taken in the matter of reforestation so that the younger gener-
ation might grow up harboring a just pride in their heritage, and a

-determination to safeguard the basic element of all paper and lumber-
ing industry.

As indicating what the industry amounted _to in Canada, Mr.
Dawe remarked that the capitalization of the companies engaged in
pulp and paper making was now over 300 million dollars and that the
industry employed over 25,000 men, with as many more engaged in-
the winter operations in the woods. ‘The value of the exports of
newsprint and pulp, marketed in the United States and the British
colonies, was now over 180 million dollars per annum. As a means
of offsetting the adverse trade balance of the United States, he sug-
gested that these figures must be considered in a national way.

In addition to giving a description of the newsprint mills of the
country, Mr. Dawe also outlined the manufacture of specialty papers
and paper boards, and urged his hearers to buy Canadian papers wher-.

ever possible, and if impossible to obtain exactly the papers required,
to remember that, through the exigencies of a small market, it was
not always possible to produce in the same volume as the United
States mills were capable of doing, with a market of over 100 million
people. He also referred to the by-products of the industry, such as
artificial silk, alcohol, paper clothes and paper barrels, and described
the process of making waterproof pipes and other articles, which are
manufactured from what used to be considered the waste product of
the mills.

Speaking of the social side of the industry, he gave an interesting

description of some of the model towns which have been created by
the paper industries and which have been promoted by the companies
for the purpose of housing their employees, under happy hygienic
conditions. Instances of this feature of the industry were mentioned
at Iroquois Falls, Grand Mere and Kipawa.
; It was mentioned, in the course of Mr. Dawe’s address, that the
province of Quebec is supplying about 40 per cent. of the total Cana-
dian pulp and paper production at the present time, and that under
the present sympathetic government there was likelihood of it be-
coming the leader in the pulp and paper industry.

-Want to Export Burned Pulpwood

A meeting of the N. B. Forest Advisory Board was recently
held in Fredericton.

The Lumbermen’s Association has been asked to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of D. J. Buckley.
The term of office of Archibald Fraser as representative of the
__ private timber limit holders expires on Dec. 31. His successor will
m3 _be appointed after that date.

-

AND WOODWORKER yy,

J. W. Vanderbeck, M.P.P., tendered his resignation as a member
of the board of examiners of fire rangers. No appointment will be
made to the vacant office until the next board meeting, January 12.

The delegation of limit holders who appeared before the board
asked for permission to export burnt timber to the United States from
crown lands as pulp wood. The Act of 1911 forbids export of lumber

.in the round to the United States, the intention being to encourage

the manufacture of lumber in New Brunswick. The delegation ad-
vanced various arguments in support of its request, notably that
the timber was out of danger of destruction after being burnt unless
cut as soon as possible.

Big Tract of Lumber Made Available

Approximately 900,000,000 feet of timber will be made accessible
for commercial use by the construction of an eight-mile logging rail-
way in Maple Ridge Municipality, the contract for whi¢h was let to —
the Northern Construction Company of Vancouver. N. S. Lougheed,
head of the Port Haney Lumber firm of Abernethy & Lougheed, and
H. M., Johnston of Chicago signed the contract on behalf of the Miami
Corporation, Chicago owners of the big limits behind the Lillooet
rivers. The work is to be completed by next spring and in a few
days the contractor will have a gang of men at work, for much of the

preliminary surveying and sketching has been done.

Tries Side Piling of Lumber

A retail lumber firm in Boonville, Mo., has found it necessary to
expand its plant to take care of the increased business. The office and
yard of the company, located, are on one of the most prominent busi-
ness sites in the place and the business district is steadily expanding
ahout it. All lumber is kept under cover and this year a house and
lot adjoining the old plant on the east were bought. On the rear
part of this lot an additional shed was put up. This shed simply has
a V-shaped roof with no sides and the lumber is piled sideways in
the shed instead of endways. The company finds it much easier and
quicker to pile and unpile lumber when it is stored in this manner.

Value vs. Quantity of Lumber Exports

Although the value of exports of lumber and other forest pro-
ducts of the United States in 1919 was approximately $137,000,000
as compared with $55,000,000 in 1915 and $87,000,000 in 1918, the
quantity in feet and cubic feet does not show any such advance.
The tremendous increase in value over quantity is due largely ta
money inflation and higher prices. It is impossible to give exact
quantity figures for all wood manufacturers as quantity is of necessity
variously computed by number of pieces, as of shingles and railroad
ties; by board feet, as of lumber, and by tons, as of wood pulp.

Strong Advocate of Practical Forestry

Frank I. Ritchie, who is well-
known in the lumber trade and
has always taken an active inter-
est in forestry work, is the presi-
dent of the Quebec Forest Pro-
tective Association. He is a
strong exponent of reforestation
under practical methods, and a
number of interesting articles
from his pen have appeared from
time to time in the “Canada Lum-
berman.”

Mr. Ritchie is a son of Wm.
Ritchie, one of the pioneers and
largest lumbermen in the pro-
vince of Quebec, and was asso-
ciated with his father in the oper-
ation of his mills until they were
sold to the Union Bag & Paper
Co. in 1900. For the next ten
years the subject of this reference
was in charge of various opera-
tions in the Three Rivers district,
when he became actively interest-
ed in the organization of the Wayagamack Pulp & Paper Co., Three
Rivers, Que. At the time this progressive institution started oper-
ating, he was appointed superintendent of the lumber department,
and is-now, and has been for the past three years, manager of the com-
pany, which is making splendid progress and will, within the next
few months, add six new machines to its equipment, practically
doubling its production of kraft paper, both glazed and unglazed.
The company does a large export business and also manufactures sul-
phate pulp, turning out about 200 tons daily.

Uses of Sycamore.

More than 50 per cent. of the
sycamore cut in the Un‘ted States
is made into boxes and crates,
says a recent bulletin of the For-
est Service. In 1918, the esti-
mated cut of sycamore was 30,-
000,000 feet. Arkansas cut 6,437,-
000 feet; Indiana, 3,457,000; Ten-

. hnessee, 3,162,000, and Missouri,

Ohio, Illinois, Mississippi, Ken-
tucky and Louisiana each cut
more than a mill-on feet. -

After boxes and crates, slack
cooperage takes about 20 per cent.

of the sycamore cut and furniture -

and fixtures more than 10 per cent.
Much of the sycamore manufac-
tured into furniture’ goes into
common varieties, as kitchen cabi-
nets, chairs, etc., and into the in-
terior and hidden parts of more
expensive furniture, especially
drawer sides, backs and bottoms,
Shelves, linings and core material
for veneers. Its moderate price is
its chief advantage in such uses.

More than 300,000 feet of syca-
more is used in making musical
instruments. It is employed
largely for the interior parts and
braces of pianos and organs be-
cause of its fair degree of strength
and moderate cost. It is also used
for agricultural implements, car-
pet sweepers, trunks, sewing ma-
chines and wooden novelties,

One of its greatest advantages
for boxes and crates is its non-
contaminating qualities as well as
its moderate strength and attrac-
tive appearance. ‘Lobacco boxes
and fruit and vegetable baskets

and boxes are often made of syca-

more and it is considered the best
wood available for berry boxes as
it will bend successfully without
breaking when made into square
or octagonal shaped boxes.

The sycamore occupies flood
lands and areas along streams not
suitable for cultivation. For this
reason it is especially valuable to
the agriculturist as it keeps his
lands from washing. Its growth
should be especially encouraged
in such situations.

A kiln-drying process which
will dry one-inch softwood lum-
ber, green from the saw, to 10
per cent. moisture content in 24
hours or less has been developed

at the U. S. Forest Products La-
boratory at Madison. The novel
feature of: the process consists in
forcing superheated steam at high
velocity first in one direction and
then in the opposite through the
pile of lumber in the kiln. This
treatment dries the lumber very
uniformly and rapidly with a
minimum of checking and warp-
ing. Drying lumber by this pro-
cess consumes more steam per
thousand feet of lumber than or-
dinary kiln-drying processes; it
somewhat reduces the toughness
of the lumber and cannot be used ©
in thicknesses of more than two.

Ontario and the East

General conditions in the lumber line remain unchanged, and,
while some wholesalers report business as being fair, other dealers
declare that trade is decidedly quiet. In certain lines the turn-over
is spotty, but as a rule very few cars are being sold, and it is not ex
pected that there will be any material alteration in conditions until

after the new year.

All the retailers are marking time and wondering whether the
bottom has been reached in prices. They declare that “unless lumber
comes down more, the farmers will not buy. The produce of the
farmers has been lowered in value and yeomen naturally think that

~ everything else will come down in proportion although lumber has
taken a decided drop, particularly in hemlock, and reports are heard
om. of cut prices. Travellers, who are out on the road, say that they are
_ finding it difficult to interest purchasers, and factories who consume
large quantities of hardwood, are not in the market just now unless
it be for something to satisfy immediate requirements.

Labor appears to be plentiful at all points, and the report comes
from Port Arthur and the Sudbury district that some operators have
reduced the wages of lumberjacks from $70.00 to as low as $45.00 a
month. This condition of affairs is, however, not general as yet al-
_ though there may be some drop in the high figures, which have pre-
a vailed, after the Christmas holidays. Men are coming forward in
. larger. quantities than camps can require or can accommodate them,
and as logging operations are on a restricted scale, not as many lum-
berjacks are needed at this time as last season, and in the ranks of
- labor generally there is more unemployment.

-_ In Eastern Canada the production of spruce will be very light,

and it is also expected that the hemlock output in Ontario will not
be large owing to the recent slump in quotations. Some souhern pine
is still being offered at-low prices by firms who are obliged to liquidate,
and some purchases have been made. However, the offerings are not
as plentiful in number or as low in price as they were some time
ago.

. It is too early as yet to give any indication of what the building
demand will be for next year, and no prediction can be made whether
the present level of values will be raised. Many believe that, as soon

as confidence reasserts itself, declines in prices will cease and lumber
will get back somewhere near the quotations that prevailed in 1918.

Stocks of most retailers are low and with the exception of a few
_ firms, wholesalers are not heavily loaded up. There will be no par-
_ ticular hurry this season to buy cuts for 1921, judging by the present
attitude of the wholesale price.
_ While much is heard regarding existing conditions, there are very
few pessimists in the industry, and the number who are wearing biue
spectacles can be counted on the fingers of one’s hand. The outlook
_ on the whole is regarded as favorable as soon as the present temporarv
period of depression has passed away, but the query arises when will
_ it be over? The best guesses are that next spring will see the ter-
mination of the period of stagnation.
Fall building keeps up fairly well in the larger centers.
For. the month of November the city architect’s department, To-
- ronto, issued building permits to the ae of $1,482,914. For Novem-
ber, 1919, the total was $2,536,045; for eleven months of 1919, $17,-
7/9811; eleven months this year, $24, 333,045.

What buying is done, is on a iimited and conservative basis. Each
week there is a further slump in other commodities and the feeling
grows that the sooner these declines are over, the better. Then will
the process of readjustment be ended and things get down to a normal
| prewar state. Speaking of declining values in lumber, a leading ex-
} change says: “The outstand: ng feature of the present price mov ement
x tS the resistance which the retail dealer i is offering to the force of de-
- flation, and if there is any force comparable to this resistance of the
retailer, it is the termination of buyers to refrain from purchasing
anything except absolute necessities.

In the eastern market there have been few inquiries of any im-
portance, and the only buying that occurred was for special stock and
railroad material. There has been a considerable shaking up in the
_ late market and a few sales have been made at sacrifice prices. Many
_ yards have practically all the stock on hand which they bought last
oe _ spring, and one firm says “There are millions of lath on ieee bought
_ at $15.00 and up which the dealers had hoped of disposing of at $20.00
-.and up. These laths are being etre’ out to-day at $12.50 retail, and

One concern say there is absolutely nothing in sight between n ow a
and spring, which will give the yards a chance to run their lumber ye

The requisition for hardwood lumber continued heavy and Pest

The trend in business lately has been quiet and there is a ten
on the part of buyers to withhold from replenishing their s
present-day prices. The general opinion is that values have 1
reached their lowest limit, so that almost everybody is waiti
if shippers in the U.S, A. ‘will further reduce their prices” for
of American hardwoods. On the other hand, there are some merck
who hold fairly large stocks of imported timber bought befc
recent decline in values, who are “hedging” themselves by ieee
further supplies at whatever lower offers they may obtain. 10 '

It is difficult to say whether prices will decline to hee an xte
as many people imagine. For one thing the rate of exchange i n
ing against any serious drop in values, while it would appear a as
shippers, are becoming impatient at the lack of ‘orders from this

contracts are fixed up. We doubt, however, whether anything of im-
portance will be concluded this year, as all buyers state that they intend
to wait until after Christmas before considering 1921 purchases. By
that time the financial position should be clearer, and it will be seen
how the general shortage of money and the fall in the prices of other
commodities is going to affect the timber trade.

Dealing with the Continental market, we cannot write in a very
hopeful strain. Two years after the war, Great~Britain is still only
commencing to .récover, but France, Belgium and Germany are far
worse off. Their international trade is hampered to such an extent
by the depreciation in their currencies that the timber ithporters
simply dare not attempt any larger business.. This depreciation is
due in a great measure to the fact that the national budgets have
not been placed on a sound footing, and that the process known as
deflation has scarcely commenced. In order to meet current ex-
penses, all the Continental countries have to resort to the issue of
fresh paper money, and until this ceases, there can be no real im-
provement. There must be a tremendous demand in France, Bel-
gium and Germany for softwoods, but it costs too much to import,
and therefore business cannot be done.

Quebec Trade Quiet and Production Not Large

The lumber trade in Quebec has undergone no change in its
condition and judging from the present outlook, the activities for
manufacture this winter will be greatly lessened in comparison to
previous years. Quebec lumber firms consulted, regarding the situa-
tion, make the laconic reply that there are no changes in the situa-
tion, and they have as yet formulated no plans. The drop in prices
and the high cost of production offer no encouragement. Together,
with the stringency in the money market these factors are causing
all Quebec firms to proceed with the utmost caution. The market is
practically at a standstill and the retail trade doing very little, in fact .
no business. This is due to the continued high cost of material and
the arrogant demand of labor.

Like all other sections of Canada, Quebec is suffering acutely
from a scarcity of houses, and people are packed in apartment and
rooming houses and tenements for want of home accommodation.
Nevertheless those, with capital and a desire to build, are determined
not to invest until the cost of material and labor comes down to meet
the exigencies of those with money to invest in building that will
at least give them a fair and equitable return.

The recent decision of the banking interests to loan no money
is having an alarming effect on the people with medium means, who,
finding they cannot obtain loans to carry on their business ventures,
feel that there must be something amiss in the financial conditions of
Canada. This has caused them.to close their purses and sit tight
on their hold:ngs. When told that the banks are curtailing their loans
in order to conserve their money to finance, the wheat crop of the Can-
adian West, they are dubious and make the reply that that is no rea-
son why the general business activities of the whole Dominion of
Canada should be sidetracked.

In the meantime the big lumber interests of the city and district
of Quebec who have all their money practically tied up, and who have
been closely watching the industrial condition in the United King-
dom, which show so little sign of adjustment in the present, have
concluded to curtail greatly their operations in the woods and their
mills this winter.

During the past season of navigation in the St. Lawrence, the
Jumber trade has been fairly good, in fact much in excess of expecta-
tions, but it is generally concluded that unless the building question
in Great Britain undergoes a material change between now and next
spring, Canadian lumber products will be greatly affected. Export
business will be diminished and competition, that is sure to ensue
by no demand, will destroy profits, a future condition that the Quebec
trade are carefully watching, and using their sense of judgment ac-
cordingly. In consequence they have decided to curtail operations
for manufacture this winter. The news of the curtailment of opera-
tions is beginning to have an affect on laborers, who are realizing that
the demand for their service in the woods and in the mills will also
be curtailed.

The pulpwood business at Quebec is also at the present suffer-
ing from a slow market. The pulp and paper mills having stopped
buying, is causing the dealers considerable concern, especially those
indebted largely to the banks. They feel, however, that the slump
is only temporary and are determined to stand by their prices, know-
ing that.in the end the mills will require their wood. The situation,.

. Meantime, in Great Britain, we find the consumption is just
ready. Every day smail contracts are made, and in these contracts ei
ptices keep up, because the wood is bought for immediate use, and
for a specific purpose. Trade, of course, is not brick, and outside the
housebuilding sizes there is no very large demand. Stockholders,
therefore, must exercise patience, but if they avoid the fatal mistake
of pressing their wood, they should be able to sell slowly at fairly
good figures.

The worst market of all is spruce. Prices for months past have
continued to drop. In the Manchester and Liverpool districts, the
supplies are out of all proportion to the demand, and a lot of money
must have been lost. In London and in other parts of Great Britain, —
the situation is not quite so acute, but it is bad enough, as the prices
which spruce fetched at the last auction in London clearly show.
Over the market hangs the cloud of the old Government stock. It is —
not known how much of this is still left unshipped, but reports state
a very considerable quantity, and it is also believed that there is a ae
lot of rubbish among the unshipped balances. In this country, 3x9
in. St. John’s spruce is scarcely worth more than about £35 to £40,
while for the smaller sizes it is difficult to find buyers at any figure :

however, is affecting the independent farmers, who for the past few
years have been engaged in cutting pulpwood in the wooded sections”
of their farm lands, and just as soon as they realize that there is no”
immediate call for their wood, they will cease to operate. h
French Canadian farmer is not the unsophisticated, ignorant habitant-
of the past, proving education has greatly enlightened him as to ma-
terial things and his welfare, and as a close student of market condi-
tions, he is not to be caught napping; therefore, rather than sacrifice ~
his wood, he will quietly bide his time until things improve, with
the knowledge that sooner or later his wood product will be needed.
In the meantine he will quietly await his opportunity. ae
The meeting that took place between the Quebec limit-holders —
and the Provincial Government of Quebec, is having its good effect.
Though no modification of the tariff has yet been declared, it is —
learned that the Government is studying the question with a likeli- —
hood of meeting the wishes of the limit-holders. The Government in
the meantime has in a measure acceded to the petition as contained _
in the memorandum submitted by the deputation of the limit-holders,
who waited on the Taschereau Administration on November 18 last
in regard to article 12 of the forest regulations which forbade the lic-
ensees to cut on crown lands white or red pine measuring less than
13 inches, and other trees less than 12 inches in diameter. The cor-
respondent of the “Canada Lumberman” was told by the Department
of Lands and Forests, “That the department was now co-operating
with the Quebec Limit Holders in connection with surveying under
‘neration, with the object of having regulations strictly followed. —
The Department has modified article 12 passed by order-in-Council
in April last, which will allow the cutting of spruce below the
ciameter stipulated in article 12, providing the findings of the inspec-
‘ion warrants it.
Mr G. C. Piche, superintendent of the forest branch of the ser-
vice in an interview with the “Canada Lumberman” said: “We are
emp!oving forty men this winter to assist the usual staff in checking
operations in the woods. In many cases the lumbermen also furnish
an inspector who travels with the Government inspector. Thus we
have secured a walking tribunal who immediately fines the jobbers
who violate the law. Posters are put up in each lumber camp, ex-
»laining how the logs must be cut, with the threat that any man who
cuts below the:permitted size will be liable to a fine of $3 per tree.
“There have been complaints that some of the pulpwood camps
were butchering their forests, but this the.Quebec Government will
not tolerate or any such infraction of the law. We wish to, and are Es
determined to preserve the forests, and perpetuate them in the best
manner possible, the law in regard to.lumber and pulpwood opera-—
tions must be strictly obeyed. is
“The Quebec forest engineers, despatched to Europe, have ar- —
rived at Paris, France, and have begun their studies, as outlined
in the last edition of the “Canada Lumberman.” :

Montreal Market Slow and Trade Dull
The Montreal market continues very quiet. Here and there
business is’ fair but on the whole the market is slow. Although
prices have of course declined from their previous high level, the drop
in quotations has had no effect in stimulating sales. :
In discussing conditions with wholesalers two main ideas de-
veloped—one is, that in the spring there is likely to be a recovery in

the direction of a greater consumption, due to more construction.
This larger building programme wiil, it is argued, be influenced by
the probable reduction of values in general building materials, in line
with the lower prices for many commodities. Lumber, it is further
argued, has already dropped, and that there is not an appreciable
margin for lower values, having regard to the cost of production.
The other idea is, that there is little hope of any great increase in busi-
ness, this view being based on the assumption that there is little hope
of any great increase in business, and no encouragement in the present
situation for expansion. It is true that there is a shortage of houses, but
even should the cost of building be reduced, it will not come down
‘to such an extent as to invite the expenditure of any large sums.

“Moreover, many manufacturing departments are now being carried
on at a loss, and there will be no spare capital to be spent in new
ventures requiring lumber.

Some reports from the Province are to the effect that the new.
cut will be considerably smaller. The output from the camps is likely
to be curtailed.

The general woodworking firms have a good amount of work in
hand, one company being engaged on a very large order of pine doors
for the Old Country.

The housing problem in Montreal is still acute. The Admin-
istrative Commissioners having made no progress with the scheme
for workmen’s dwellings, a meeting of contractors and supply firms

was held to expedite matters. A committee was appointed to wait on
the Commissioners, with a view to some aggressive action being
taken.
. For the month of November Montreal building permits totalled
$612,810, a decrease of $278,054, as compared with the corresponding
period last year. For the eleven months the total was $13,685,455, a
gain of $4,309,955.

Market at Ottawa is Quiet and Orders Scattered

ae A continued slowness of business, coupled with firm prices, and

_ the hope in some circles that the first few months of 1921 would bring

about a change for the better, were the principalfeatures of the Ottawa
lumber situation during the opening period of December.

Taken all around, trade was abnormally slow even for the season

‘of the year, and some sellers stated it was the dullest market they

- had witnessed since the autumn of 1913. Orders or inquiries either

from the domestic or United States markets were practically nil, and

very little trading went on with the European countries. Stocks in

most instances were more plentiful than in demand, but most buyers

did not express great apprehension as to their ultimate disposition and

seemed willing to retain stocks rather than cut prices or sacrifice them.

wag The general view taken as to the future was that it would largely
depend on the amount of building that would be undertaken next
spring. In this connection the two dominant factors to the minds of

the trade were “the easiness of money,” and the attitude of labor.

ai The money market at present as the retail and part of the whole-
sale trade sees it, is that money is “exceptionally tight” and that the
banks will not advance it for speculative building purposes. » This they
_ point out has had a great deal to do with the curtailment of building

operations, which consequently reflects itself on the lumber market.
x “No one can just tell what the readjustment will bring about.
Unless the banks loosen up and loan money to home builders and for
commercial building there is not going to be the volume of building
next spring that should take place. Consequently there is not going
to be the demand for lumber stocks if building does not go ahead,”
was the summary of one wholesaler. He was also of the opinion that
if money could be more readily secured from the banks that 1921 would
see one of the greatest building booms that Canada has ever witnessed.
So far as Ottawa goes, the indications are that there is going to be a
shortage of commercial space next spring. Some prospective builders
have seen it coming and were willing to go ahead and take a chance
on putting up buildings this fall and winter, but were unable to se-

_. cure the necessary credits from the banks,
. Inquiry in manufacturing circles shows that the banks are:on
the whole taking care of their old customers, and advancing credits
for the continuance of the woods operations. Very few, except the
“bigger fellows” are financially able to take care of the whole of their
woods operations and the sawmill cutting season, and wait for their
money until their lumber is sold. Consequently*they go to the banks
for advances and when the cash is received for the sale of their lum-
ber, they repay their loans. With some of the smaller companies, it
is heard in the trade, that difficulty has been experienced in financing
_ woods operations.

¥ In regard to the labor situation, from the woods end, the fact is

si
= |

becoming plainer that woodsmen or many of them let their oppor-

tunity for employment go by early in the fall when their services
were not available to the lumbering companies, who could not find

enough men to fill the camps they intended to putin. In face of this
fewer camps were established and the woods production this year shall
drop conisderably. As an instance, one company who usually cut

er iad ve Cae tae mee... Ra kaa
18,000,000 feet reports a cut of only 7,0 00,000 for last seasor
dicts this season will be lower than last.
“The time for fast logging has gone past, the months of Sey
ber and early October are the best period of the year for bush oper-
ations, but this year the men were not available, and it is too late now
to begin to open up new operations,” was the comment of one of the
leading manufacturers. : 5s ee
Another point that the members of the whole lumber trade are —
turning over in their minds, is what the attitude of labor toward higher —
wages in the building industries next year is likely to be? If wages for
labor go higher lumbermen are afraid that building will not be under-
taken on a large scale, and consequently the demand for their product
will fall away. ae
Besides a very slow movement in lumber the lath and shingl
markets was also slow. Most of the few sales of shingles, it w
ported, were British Columbia stock, which had been shipped on ¢
signment and was sometimes sold before it reached its destin
depending on the price offered at the intervening points. b
With the John R. Booth interests it was reported that abou
same number of camps was in operation as last season, but w
production would be, or what the future lumber market wou
like was stated by Mr. Jackson Booth “as only guess wot kr
company also stated that the tendency of woodsmen migrating
one camp to another showed up in the last few weeks and tk
were now staying more permanently in the one camp. SS
The European export situation was reported to b even
than the Canadian or American markets, and even not so acti}
was a year ago. This, exporters claimed, was largely due to tt
settied conditions prevailing in England, which was accelerat
the strike of the British coal miners, the effect of which was onl
beginning to make itself felt on the trade in this country. __
Another factor was, that the English market was con
well stocked, and that until conditions righted themselves and
of the stock on the other side saw their way clear to disp f it th
they were not inclined to order more. -The icaphovenlene e
change rate was referred to as a favorable sign, but, on the bei
it was also mentioned that all of the stock purchased some tin

What Will 1921 Bring in Lumber Line

How Far will Demand for Forest Products Reassert Itself
and the Level of Prices Rise P
By A. E. Mothersill

As we near the end of 1920, the average business man and manu-
facturer is giving thought and attention to what stocks they have
on hand and considering what the year 1921 will bring forth. The
question is being asked on all sides—have prices on lumber and all
other commodities touched bottom? and when will a revival of de-
mand and volume of turnover set in

Keeping careful watch over the present and trying to gauge the
future is uppermost just now in the minds of most men. It is well
known that after every great upheaval like a war that economic in-
dustrial and social conditions are decidedly upset. The process of
readjustment is neither as swift nor as certain as many would like
to see. “As has been predicted” are words which no longer carry
much weight, for the simple reason that this is a period when all
prophecies go by the board and the usual omens no longer illumine
the pathway of the days to come. There is nothing more unsettled
than what lumber prices, wages and production will be during the
approaching year.

There is one thing certain and that is some improvement is
bound to take place, but just how far demand will reassert itself and
prices rise—for no one expects they will recede to pre-war levels—
depends on many factors, and among them are European conditions
and credits, industrial expansion, building operations, the cost of liv-
ing, scale of wages, public confidence and an optimistic spirit.

Every .activity and enterprise has been followed by extraor-
dinary inflation since the war ended. Nearly two years of unparal-
leled prosperity and generous returns on investment and business
operations have ensued. During the past few months, however, we
have been experiencing more or less depression—a period of curtail-
ment in production, a general attack on and resenting of high prices
and a sincere desire “to get from under.” The question every busi-
ness man must now decide for himself is how far will depression go,
and how long will it last and what will be the truth. :

A conference of bankers, manufacturers and economists was re-
cently held by the Harvard Bureau of Economic Research. The prob-
able drift of business during the next six months was discussed and
the consensus of opinion was that the present quietness will extend
to about next spring and that thereafter there will be a revival of
business which may, however, not be of very large proportions, or,
if so, not very long continued.

_ This forecast is based partly upon the course of commodity
prices. In the war period, with the “price revolution” of the “fifty-
cent dollar,” however, it broke down. Just as we have had an un-
precedented rise in prices we now are having an unprecedented fall.
Such a yiolent and comparatively sudden fall is almost certain to
produce an almost equally violent upward rebound, or a protracted
period of stagnation. If the latter be the result then the price of
labor must immediately fall, perhaps more than commensurately with
the fall of the commodity markets, for if we are entering a long
stretch of business stagnation the buying and therefore the produc-
tion of all commodities will be of the hand to mouth variety and
prices will therefore continue low. :

_ If, however, the end of this period of falling prices ends definite-
ly in the near future, as the majority confidently believe, and a new

as in prices starts, it might mean and should mean another business
boom.

It seems probable that no real over production of goods has taken
place. The present situation was brought’ about largely by the
absurd prices which the owners of all commodities demand for their
wares and the recent panic on the part of buyers frantically bidding
against each other for the things they desired. When the end of this
orgy was in sight and prices ceased to go up, the decline was rapid
because both sellers and buyers fully realized that business was being
done on an inflated basis. This applies to the lumber line as well as
others and the sellers haing that knowledge were anxious to dispose
of all goods before the demand ceased entirely. Buyers, seeing prices
melt away, are loath to purchase even the thirigs they really ‘need at
enormously reduced prices for fear prices will decline still further.
This condition is accentuated by the overstrained credit situation and
the resultant necessity of calling loans.

If there is an enormous latent buying power and buying desire
only waiting for prices to strike bottom, the rebound in prices and in
business, when it comes,*should be rapid. With an average reduction
in the cost of commodities nearly 30 per cent. from the peak reached
in the spring of 1920, the amount of money and credit. required to
transact the business of the country is enormously lessened, and both
money and credit should soon be easier as the natural result.

New Wholesale Lumber Firm Formed

Lay & Haight is the name of a new wholesale lumber firm which
has just been formed with head office at Room 21, 34 Victoria St.,
Toronto. They will handle general stocks of white pine, red pine,
jack pine and spruce, and may later on do something in the way of
selling B. C. stocks.

Both members of the firm—Gilbert S, Lay of Toronto, and D. H.
Haight of Sudbury—are well known to the industry and are practical
lumbermen.

Points to Watch in Ordering Lumber

An eastern U. S. lumber firm has formulated several points to
observe when ordering lumber. The suggestions are well worth keep-
ing in mind :—

1. Consider carefully points you wish to cover in your order.

2. Shippers must be financially responsible, or satisfactory to
you by reputation.

3. Lerme

4. Time of shipment, approximately.

5. If orders are given to travellers, have it understood that be-
fore his company enters the order, his company mail you an accept-
ance so worded that wou will be mutually agreed on all points.

6. Wire order for transit cars is very dangerous.

7. Consider the terms, grading, method of working, widths and
thickness will be accorded to custom rules at shipping points unless
otherwise agreed.

8. Dryness, air or kiln-dried.

9. If air-dried, it is best to go by weight, since most trouble will
come from southwestern short leaf, on account of stain, etc.

10. If kiln-dried, especially in expensive woods, must be done
with modern equipment ; case hardened, warped, split output won't do.

11. Flooring, ceiling and all worked lumber be sure and agree on
percentage of lengths and widths.

12. Thickness, whether rough or dressed, have your shipper note
what he intends to ship.

13. Kind of car, rack, box or open ear.

14. If high-priced material, car roof must be tested for leaks.

15. Routing.

16. Discount, amount, when. :
17. Mention bundled or loose stock. In flooring and ceiling, how

many pieces to bundle.

18. Hemlock mention grade No. 1, Merchant, or No. 2.

19. Lath, be careful about widths, thickness and lengths.

20. If lumber is purchased at shipping point, agree on freight
rates.

21. Working of flooring, hollow back, planed one side and match-

ed, or planed one side and centre matched.

22. All hardwood flooring must be according to the Hardwood
Manufacturers’ Association Rules, as regarding grades, percentage of
lengths, etc.

23. Do not confuse Coast Stock, especially in roofers and floor-
ing, with South Western, as to the grades and working.

_. limits in Saguenay County, 145 miles below Quebec city. These contain about
1,500,000 available cords of pulpwood, and this winter 10,000 cords will be
cut. The pulpwood will be shipped first on barges to St. Augustin, twenty
miles from Quebec, then shipped by National Transcontinental to the Black
~,. River, and thence by water down to the Laurentide mills.

oPs A firm known as the City Lumber Yards, Winnipeg, Man., has recently
entered the lumber business.

oa Another concern has launched into the field of “knock-down houses.” The

; Mill Cut Homes & Lumber, Ltd., with $50,000 capital, has been organized in
i. > Vancouver. t

Nicola Pine Mills, Limited, made a record run for its first season of active
a lumber cutting. Their total output for 1920 is estimated at 33,000,000 feet, of
e _- which 10,000,000 approximately is piled out and seasoned in their yards.

At a recent meeting of the Canadian Credit Men’s Trust Association, held
E in Vancouver, Mark Rector, manager of the International Timber Co., gave
* an address on the logging and lumbering industry of British Columbia.

Ae It is understood that a fibre box manufacturing company have been look-
_. ing over the situation in Vernon, B.C., with a view to producing their patent
_ boxes which are highly suitable for many of the fruit products of this valley.

: _ Thomas Gwilt, of the Gwilt Lumber Company, Nanaimo, has purchased
Dan Kilpatrick’s interest in the Bevan Lumber Company, Ltd., at Bevan, and

will co-operate with Major Hilton in running the business, according to news
- - from Comox. :

te, McKinnell’s, Limited, Tuelon, Man., were recently granted a provincial

_ charter of incorporation as wholesale dealers in. lumber and timber. Capital
Se $20,000. W. C. McKinnell and G. A. Elliot of Tuelon, Man., are two of. the
- -_ ineorporators.

~~ A. ~‘K. Bannerman of the Associated Mills, Limited, Vancouver, has re-
turned from an extended eastern tour, covering Canadian and American
cities. His trip was mainly a business one undertaken to get in personal

ioe touch with conditions in eastern markets and to meet the company’s agents.

Se oe The Adolph Lumber Company, Limited, has closed its logging camps
for the present indefinitely. They cut 10,000,000 feet of lumber in 1920, which

__is about the same as their 1919 run. Of this amount they are carrying over
about 4,000,000 feet in their yards, and with the present state of trade they
are not shipping out much of it. :

The Laminated Materials Co., Ltd., of New Westminster, has been or-
- ganized into a joint stock company with capital of $400,000. The company
specializes in panels and veneer and other goods, made from cottonwood, and
___ prepared by their own secret processes which render it waterproof and im-
‘pervious to weather conditions,

ee a Hon. T. W. McGarry, K.C., newly-elected president of the Whalen Pulp

. & Paper Mills, Limited, returned east early recently, after paying his first
Visit to the company’s head offices in Vancouver, and also making a trip of
_-«~personal inspection to the three plants operated by the company up ‘the coast.
a Among the party accompanying him on his visit to the pulp mills was Mr.
is Jas. Whalen and Mr. W. D. Ross, prominent directors in the pulp company.

__ H.H. Ross, general manager of the Ross-Saskatoon Lumber Company,
_ Limited, looks for fair revival of prairie business after January ist, though
? trade is dull now. His company is preparing for the 1921 season by putting in
“ie anew: horizontal band re-saw, which will greatly increase their capacity and
_.- power to utilize their cants to advantage. The mill record for 1920 was 14,-

000,000 feet of lumber, which is 3,000,000 more than they cut in 1919. They are
_ carrying at the present time in their yards, 8,500,000 of high-grade seasoned
stock. During the winter one camp is operating and three or four million feet

* $i of logs will be got out. The supply of camp labor is improving.

i share in the business of foreign countries in the great reconstruction

___-work, it is high time that some manufacturers and business interests
_ awaken from their torpor. There is little need of Saying anything
further in this regard, as a recent despatch from Windsor, Ont., tells

_a tale that no Canadian can point to with pride. Here it is: Urging

Canadian manufacturers to “get busy” in cultivating the export trade

of Great Britain and its Dominions, A. N. Lawrence, Foreign Sales

_ <Agent-for the Ford Motor Co., recently told members of the

Chamber of Commerce that during his trip of 62,000 miles around the

Ball-bearing Equipped Resaw Stands Up to Work in Fine’
Shape, Says Filer of Southern Sawmill

In spite of. the constantly-growing use of bail bearings in wood-
working machines, some millmen still hesitate to trust them on heavy,
hard service. The well-known anti-friction qualities, the dust-proof
boxes, the saving in oil and power effected—all this is admitted—but

_ the fear that something will go wrong later seems to dominate many

minds. Possibly the reason for this feeling is that the claims for ball
bearings seem too good to be true.

Skeptics are inclined to wait for the other fellow to test out ma-
chines fitted with ball bearings, and see what happens. Apparently
that is the easiest course to follow,

For the Important Bearings—
SOVEREIGN GENUINE

Lionrnyal BEARINGS |

The bearing is one of the most important parts of machinery—this is true in
any industry—and the Lumber Trade is no exception.

‘Ss

mt &

Line your bearings with scientifically made Babbitts alloyed under the
“Stanley Process.” It is an elemental fact that there is less friction generated
by high grade babbitts ;—when friction is lessened, the wear and tear on
your machinery is diminished.

Babbitt is designed to avoid friction. A scientific alloy accomplishes this
best by its smooth homogeneity.

Never before has man power been so badly needed—never before has time saving meant as much
in the way of labor saving.

ates Type G-2 Ripping Saw

is one of the best tools made to conserve man power. Its solid construction, excellent design, and
freedom from mechanical troubles make it a favorite wherever used.

Dozens of them are installed all
over the United States and Canada. The increase in sales of this machine is proof of its popularity.

| Hauling Logs Successfully
With a Duplex 4-Wheel Drive Truck

Lr FOR

tas Read What J. L. Smith, Dallas, Oregon, Says About His Duplex—
pe How It Is the Most Dependable Truck He Has Ever Seen Used.

Ce D. Smith, Dallas, Oregon, bought his first Duplex
in the winter of 1917 to haul logs.
Bi He had heard of the truck through the enthusiasm of
the County Commissioner of Polk County, Oregon—that
it had pulled the standard size Russell Scarified in 8” of
hard macadam.

, Boye $40 Repair Cost For One Year’s Work Hauling Logs

“After one year’s hard work,” says Mr. Smith, “haul-
-__ Ing logs, mining props, and pil-
ing with something like $40 for
_ repairs, I placed my order fora
second Duplex to handle addi-
tional contracts.
. “This truck has always
worked with a 2-wheel trail-
er and hauled loads on the
truck and trailer up to ten
tons right out of the woods,
_ through creek beds, across
fields, whérever I wanted to

_ “Some of these loads of pil- |
ing were 90 feet long and the
_ props fo rmining purposes av-
eraged 40 feet.
- __ *T am still running on the original set of tires and
_ they are good for this season. I am now hauling logs
__. about a mile—using two trailers, one semi trailer and a
_. double bunk, both steel wheels, plain bearing of my own
make. The double bunk trailer has eight wheels and the
semi trailer four wheels.
i “Each load averages 2500 board feet to the load and I
am putting into the pond, 20,000 board feet every ten
hours.
“The loads are second growth fir and each load runs
about ten tons net.
_--—s “T ‘kept close figures on my gas and oil for all of last
_ season hauling logs and timber and I find I used one pint

of cylinder oil to every forty miles of road travel and an

average of five miles to the gallon of gasoline.”

Duplex Flexibility and Applied Power Makes for

Going in Hard Places.

all the power of which the Du-
plex is capable, so I do not
know how much it can do, but
it has always come through
with its load and has never
had to be pulled out.

“IT have always been able to

deliver on my trucks as specified and can, therefore, —

honestly recommend the Duplex 4-Wheel Drive to any-

one wishing a dependable truck for heavy hauling of this —

kind.”

Original “Dunbar” Machines

We are the original and the only makers of “Dunbar”
Shingle Machines, Lath Machines, Clapboard Machines,
Steam and Gasoline Logging Engines. Each is the best
for its particular work. Are you using the best ?

Lath Machine Steam and Gasoline
From our many years of experience ° D

we evolved this “Dunbar” Original Lath Logging Engines
Machine. Every improvement that could
be suggested, every time-tested idea for
the betterment of product and _ for
greater speed, has been incorporated in
this machine. We believe it has no
equal, and there are a great number of
mill men throughout Canada who share
this belief with us. Carefully constructed
of high grade materials and designed to
work steadily under the hardest congi-
tions,

Clapboard Machine

.. You will need no excuse for the qual-
ity of your product if you use the ori-
ginal “Dunbar” Clapboard Machine. Ex-
pert in every detail. This machine will
give you the very best service under
most trying conditions. It will turn out
work without delays. It will need prac- -
tically no repairs and will increase your
output. We cannot recommend it too
highly because it is giving this very ser-
vice to lumbermen in all parts of this
country.

Conditions in Canada necessitate an
engine that will stand any amount of
strain and hard work in the lumber in-

dustry. With this idea in mind we have

' | Kirkaldy Test of. :
ALUMINUM GENUINE BABBITT

In a test for ability to carry load, Kirkaldy, the recog-

_ nized English authority, found that Aluminum Genuine
Babbitt withstood a pressure of 24,600 lbs. to the square
inch,

In lumber machinery, where the bearings are
subjected to especially severe service, such
as in lumber-gangs, Aluminum Genuine Bab-
bitt will stand the gaff with practically no
effect on the bearings.

For general service, where the bearings are
not subjected to such great loads or heavy
vibrations as to require Aluminum Genuine,
use Manganese Antrifriction Metal.

He Knows It Will!

There isn’t any question in this filer’s mind re-
garding that Aloxite Saw Gummer.

He knows it is going to cut cool and clean with-
out much more than. warming the saw.

He knows it is going to keep those teeth and the
gullets true to shape. 7

He knows that Aloxite

wheels are so efficient

that the mill foreman

won’t worry about his

saws being right.

He knows because he has
