SPECIAL | NOTICE RETAIL DEALERS Our first steamers for the season 1923 have arrived from British Columbia and been discharged. We are now ready to accept orders for straight cars of fir timber or lumber, rough or dressed. We are carrying a very large and complete stock of timbers, planking and joists as well as casing, base, flooring, ceiling and finish in fir. We can dress any size timber four sides up to and including 20” x 30”. Now that there is such a tremendous amount of cargo business offering, the larger and better mills of British Columbia are not very much interested in sawing orders to specification. We have noticed that each year it is becoming more difficult to secure from British Columbia specified orders in anything like reasonable time. We are bringing our stock around in cargo lots and we are ay, making a specialty of resawing and dressing timber, planking and joists to suit your specification. We also carry at our Montreal yard a large stock of Quebec spruce lumber and lath. We know that many of the smaller deal- ers will be glad to learn that they can now secure from us mixed cars of rough and dressed spruce and fir.

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

Thomas Malone, of Three Rivers, Que., is the only living commissioned deal culler, ap- pointed under “An Act to regulate the culling and mea- surement of timber, masts, spars, deals, staves and other articles of a like nature, and to repeal a certain Act therein mentioned.” The date of this Cullers’ Act is March 1845, and it repeals a measure dealing with the same subject. It is an interesting fact that the greater part of the grad- ing for the 1845 Act was com- piled by the grandfather of. Mr. Malone. A graphic description of the earlier days of the Quebec lumber trade, particularly in relation to the export side, as seen by Mr. Malone follows. The Cullers’ Act dealt with cull- ing for the U.K. market, and the grades had, of course, reference to that trade. Conditions have now changed; methods of business have altered, transportation has been revolutionized, the lumber trade has broadened out in other directions, and Canada has no longer the supply of large lumber which she furnished the U.K. These changing conditions have resulted in the Cullers’ Act being _ regarded as a dead letter. The men licensed under it have gradually _ died, Mr. Malone being the only link with that past. Under the Act a Supervisor of Cullers was appointed, and he, with four members of the Council of the Quebec Board of Trade, practically acquainted with the lumber trade, and also four licensed _cullers, constituted a Board of Examiners to appoint new cullers. The duties of culling and measurement were divided into four differ- ent departments :—culling- and measurement of square timber; cull- ing and measurement of staves; culling and measurement of masts, __ Spars, bowsprits, oars and handspikes, and another for the culling and measurement of deals, boards, planks and lathwood. ‘This, of _coufse, takes us back to the days of sailing ships, and it will be quite apparent why the Act has in some respects, at least, served its purpose. The oath taken by the culler has one or two points of interest. As an example, a culler swore,—‘“I will not, directly or indirectly, be a dealer in or interested in the buying or selling of any article of lumber either on my own account or on account of any other person . whatsoever ; and I will not at any time purloin or wilfully change _ Or omit any article of lumber submitted to me for the purpose of b> being measured, counted or culled.” + ‘The Act defined the grades of the following: Square oak, rock elm, square red, white or yellow pine, ash, basswood, birch, masts, _bov sprits and red pine spars, lathwood, ash oars, pine or fir boards, J Thomas Malone, Three Rivers, P.Q.

His Grand- father away Back in 1845 Complied Grading Rules for the Act Passed in that Year. Gone By Handled Each Piece of Lumber, Placing Red Chalk Mark on the Face and Stamp on the End. He was Under Heavy Penalty to Mark white or yellow pine deals, red pine deals, spruce deals; also the dimensions of merchantable timber, the standards of staves, etc. The Supervisor of Culling charged a schedule of fees for the various classes of work, the cullers employed by the supervisor receiving a proportion of these fees. As an example, the cullers received for lumber measured off or counted off—hardwood two- pence per ton; deals counted off ninepence per standard hundred. For culling or measuring in a merchantable state, or measuring in shipping order, the charges were higher, deals costing two shillings per standard hundred. What Cullers Received in Fees A culler might be employed by a merchant as a shipping culler subject to certain regulations, the violation of which opened him to a penalty of one hundred pounds or six months’ imprisonment. A culler was also liable to penalities in the event of refusal, neglect or delay in carrying out his duties. The Act is composed of 35 sections, dealing with the measurement and grading of lumber, duties of the cullers, penalities and safeguards for the shippers. A return of pine deals, sawn for William Little at the Ross Ritchie mill, Three Rivers, in 1885, shows four qualities of pine, the lengths varying from 10 to 23 feet and the widths from 7 in. to 29 in. In writing on this subject, Mr. Malone remarks :— “Note the difference in the specifications and the returns of today in both size and quantity. The logs those deals were sawn from were made on the Weseneau River, a tributary of the St. Maurice River. Today white pine is almost a thing of the past on the St. Maurice, and what little comes down to the mills, does not average 2% first quality or 9” in width, and the same is pretty nearly as bad in Ontario. I well remember in 1870 going up the Opiongo, Bonchere, Petawawa and Nippesing rivers ; the whole coun- try was covered with an ocean of pine; as far as the eye could reach - from any prominent height nothing was to be seen but a mass of pine tops; in fact one would imagine that it all could never be cut or used up. Well, go over the same ground today and see what you will find, an almost barren desert as far as standing pine is con- cerned and the spruce is also steadily disappearing,—what with forest fire, and supplies for the paper and pulp mills. Another twenty years will see the end of it, unless forest fires are prevented or controlled, and intense reforestation takes place and is carried out in a practical and intelligent manner. But enough of this; it makes one too sad to think of the loss of what never can be replaced. Grading Differences—Past and Present “As to the grading of lumber, etc., there is as much difference between 30 or 40 years ago and now as there is in the quantity and quality of the standing pine and spruce of the same periods. In the old time each piece of lumber had to be handled and examined separately by the culler, and the quality of each piece had to be stamped (with a stamping hammer) on the end, and the quality marked on the face in Red Chalk, the culler being under heavy bonds to perform his work correctly. “Formerly the mill men sold their seasons’ cut the early part of (Continued on page 48) 40 CANADA y{LUMBERMAN > ~y ey 5 F y ; ey, A & BA/ & 7 j A Ke LO H« A. C. esalers Adjourn for the Summer Season Manbert Reviews Latest Developments in Sales Tax Situation at Last Meeting of Association Until After Holiday Period—Other Business Considering the warm weather and the numerous outdoor attrac- tions which offer strong opposition to the convention hall at this time of the year, the Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association held their regular monthly meeting at the Albany Club, Toronto, on Fri- day June 25th, with a representative attendance. Business discussions were started when the chairman asked, Roy Halliday of the Transportation Committee to makeia report on its observations. Mr, Halliday explained since the Canadian” National Railways had taken over the Grand Trunk, shippers were finding the rates rather complicated insofar as they had not been changed in some instances since the amalgamation of the two roads. The Can- adian National were endeavoring to iron out these inconsistencies. A. C. Manbert in discussing shipments to the United States asserted that there was a field for valuable association work in get- ting the most favourable rates from Canadian to U. S. points. In some markets Canadian exporters were considerably handicapped particularly Pennsylvania, because rates were not listed to these centres from ‘Canadian points. A. E. Eckardt suggested the association should get rates to dis- tant points that would govern the intermediate points also, thereby getting the exact commodity rates to the different centres. Roy Halliday expressed his opinion that the railways were out to get business and that they would be glad to co-operate in the matter. Accordingly A. E. Echardt moved that the secretary should be instructed to get the railways to line up rates to U.S. points to be governed by information furnished by the transportation com- mittee. The motion was adopted. Short Lengths in Rough Clears An open discussion on any question by the members was invited by Chairman Gordon before asking A. C. Manbert to make a report on the Sales Tax situation. K.M. Brown of the A. E. Gordon Lum- ber Co. started a lively discussion on the grading of Rough Clear B. C. fir. In presenting his subject Mr. Brown explained that he did not care to antagonize B. C. manufacturers whatever, and was not endeavouring to get the association to dictate to the Coast mills. His point was this: as the rule now stands misunderstanding might easily creep in as to the percentage of short lengths, (that is under ten feet), which might be included in a shipment. He said that there was no doubt that some mills if complained to about an. excess of short lengths in a shipment would admit it and proceed to satisfy the buyer. However, no protection is given the buyer on this point who deals with west coast mills. For’the benefit of all concerned, and to avoid dissatisfaction all along the line Mr. Brown thought an understanding should be drafted in black and white. Another point raised by Mr. Brown along the same line was the manufacturing of odd widths. It was his idea that they were not desirable and should only be manufactured under special con- tract. In both these points Mr. Brown thought the western mills would look at it in the spirit of co-operation and would definitely declare themselves one way or the other. Some of the members thought the proposal would only antagonize the western manufac- turers. Mr. Brown moved that the secretary should be instructed to write Mr. Alexander of the B. C. Lumber & Shingle Mfrs. Association asking them to place a definite percentage of short lengths on ship- ments of Rough Cleaf fir, and also the shipping of cnly in even widths. The motion was seconded by A. S. Nicholson. At this point in the procedure A. C. Manbert indicated how few of the members knew the conditions as regards the west coast busi- ness. The hardwood. men present knew practically nothing of B. C. conditions and many of the softwood members were also. inexperi- enced in that market. Mr. Maribert asked the chairman if it would not be better to wait and have the inspection committee consult the members who were buyers of B.C. woods. These men could offer more intelligent opinion on the matter than those unfamiliar |with the subject. Upon this suggestion Mr. Brown withdrew his motion which will be accordingly referred to the inspection committee. Secretary Boultbee drew the attention of the wholesalers to the forthcoming outing of the Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers outing on July 5—9, through the Thousand Islands touching the Bay of ¥ o Quinte, Belleville, Kingston, etc. with the retailers on their trip up Lake Huron and Georgian Bay last summer and they are again extended a cordial welcome. the individual fare is $40.00. K. M. Brown moved a vote of thanks to the retail association and was seconded by J. L. aga Latest Development in Sales Tax Chairman Gordon next asked A. C. Manbert to give the mem- bers the benefit of his knowledge of the latest development of the proposed Sales Tax. Mr. Manbert, in his opening remarks, said he hoped everyone present had acquainted themselves with the letter forwarded to the Minister of Finance which appeared in June 15 edition of the “(Canada Lumberman.” In a few words he summed up the government’s intention to collect the tax at the source of completed manufacture. If the tax as it now stands becomes law wholesalers of lumber would be in an unfortunate position dealing as they do with first and secondary manufacturers. He compared the boot and shoe industry with the handling of lumber. A tanner sold his product to a wholesale dealer in leathers. To keep track of the tax in this trade was easy, because the logical place for the leather wholesaler to sell would be to manufacturers of the finished leather product. The operation of the tax here was ideal as the product suffered no partition. But not so in the lumber industry. ‘Take, for instance, mill run lumber. An unlicensed wholesaler buys a car of this material and sorts it out and sells some to furniture manufacturers and some to unlicensed men. It is ideal when he sells to the unlicensed man, but when he sells to, say, a furniture maker, pyramiding will result or a system of rebate will be necessary. In anticipation of these short- comings of the tax misunderstandings are bound to result, with costly adjustments to handle. Mr. Manbert further stated that these Houle in ie qompals- tion of the proposed tax will be. particularly unfavourable to the wholesaler. ary manufacturers. The middleman in any line of trade never was exactly popular, but, as Mr. Manbert phrased it, he must be neces- sary, otherwise he could never make a living at his business. As a rule anyone, who becomes disgruntled at things in the business cycle, © invariably blames the middleman for his discomfort. The proposed act will not improve this line of thought any. On the contrary, secondary manufacturers will endeavour to deal direct with the primary producers and so dodge the arguments about rebates and other issues with the middleman. / Frank Kent was of the opinion that, if continual eee was brought to bear upon the Finance Minister that he might yet allow ‘the present tax to remain. Mr. Manbert was of the same opinion, but discredited any individual effort, to the Minister. It would seem that the only method now open, to get any results, would be through influence. He, however, enjoined the members not to worry unduly over it as something might easily turn up to give the whole situation a much improved aspect. Mr. Eckardt told the members that he had been advised by official sources that the tax was to be collected at the time of sale. He also related an interesting incident that happened while the deputation of lumbermen waited on the Minister of Finance in Ottawa. . At the close of the conference with the Minister and his associates, in conversation with a deputy of the department, he asked him how the lumbermen’s reasonings had impressed Mr. Fielding. The reply was a well deserved compliment for Mr. Manbert who led the lumbermen. deputation that he had ever met in conference. Pee J. L. Campbell moved a vote of thanks to Mr. Manbert for the splendid and untiring spirit in which he had worked to get the ‘Finance Department to, alter the proposed tax. Referring to Mr. Eckardt’s story of how Mr. Fielding was impressed, Mr. Campbell said the association should be proud to have had such intelligent representatives appear at the capital. A.

Directors—Frank Hawkins Resigns Association Secretaryship Resolution Pass An important meeting of the Board of Directors of the Can- adian Lumbermen’s Association was held in Montreal recently. The principal matter ae, came up for discussion was the proposed sales tax which is creating so much interest at the present time. As far as the suggested six per cent. measure applies to the forest products line, it has been severely criticized as being unworkable, impractic- able and utterly incapable of definite application. The meeting lasted all the afternoon. The tax was discussed from many points, and the arguments formulated by Mr. Manbert in his letters to Hon. Mr. Fielding were again reviewed. It was held that the tax of 6 per cent. was unjustified, and that the trade could not stand more than 3 pef cent. The difficulties of collection were Frank Hawkins, Ottawa Veteran Retiring Secretary R. L. Sargant, Ottawa Newly Appointed Secretary also alluded to, including the extra expense involved in the licens- ing system and generally in keeping track of things. After going into the matter very thoroughly, Messrs. Angus McLean, Dan. McLachlin, Arthur H. Campbell, G. W. Grier and Brig.-Gen. J. B. White were appointed a committee to draw up a telegram to Mr. Fielding. This reads: .- “At a meeting held to-day of the directors of the Canadian Lumbermen’s Association representing 80 per cent. of the lum- ber manufactured in Canada, the following resolution was pas- sed:—‘that, after a careful investigation of the proposed{ changes in the Sales Tax Act, we are of the opinion that the pro- posed Act as applied to lumber is positively unworkable, and we approve and concur in the representations made to you in a letter addressed to you by the lumbermen of Canada, dated June 1st and signed A. C. Manbert, Chairman.’ We respectfully request that the present method of collecting the tax as regards, lumber, be continued in force and effect.” This resolution is an affirmation of the decision. arrived at the Ottawa conference. The meeting also passed a resolution in favor of the manufacture, sale and importation of oleomargarine. oe Resignation of Veteran Secretary Frank Hawkins, who has been the faithful and esteemed secre- tary of the Canadian Lumbermen’s Association since its inception sixteen years ago, resigned owing to ill-health. He has not been well for a long period, and it is hoped that, relieved from the cares and anxieties of office, he will speedily improve. At the meeting of the directors of the C. L. A., the resignation of Mr. Hawkins was accep- ted with reluctance, and as an indication of their appreciation of his many years’ energetic work in the interests of the organization, they voted him an annual retiring allowance. R. L. Sargant, who for nearly three years has been transporta- tion manager of the Canadian Lumbermen’s Association, succeeds Mr. Hawkins and will be given an assistant to look after ‘the trans- portation end. Mr. Sargant is well known to the lumber industry and is thoroughly conversant with the ee of the Association. Montreal Wholesalers Talk Over Sales Tax _ At a meeting of the Montreal Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ _Association held on June 22nd, at the Mount Royal Hotel, J. S. / Bock, the chairman, reported on the recent conference at Ottawa. to consider the sales tax. He referred to the effort made to main- tain the present tax and reiterated the objections to the new pro- posal,.on the ground of its complicated character and the cost it would entail in book keeping and in tracing sales. Mr. Bock be- lieved that, if the lumber trade could not persuade Mr. Fielding to adhere to the present tax, a much more simple and equitable method of collection than was proposed, was possible. It was pointed out that-a first reading had been given to a bill to authorize 6 per cent. to which Mr. Bock replied that: the regula-. tions to be issued later might contain modifications of the objection- able features of the original proposal of Mr. Fielding. _ A committee submitted a report on a conference held between representatives of the Wholesale and Retail Associations on the sub-— ject of their trading relations. An outline of a proposed agreement ~ as to certain points were discussed, it being decided to resume the discussion at the next meeting after communicating with the Mon- treal Retail Lumbermen’s Association. Playing Fast and Loose With Orders Very few things are certain in the lumber business, but there is one thing in the industry that can always be looked upon as a sure thing. If there is a sharp advance in prices the air is rent with Sovinbpilaaaes that mills are rot shipping old orders at the old prices; and if there is a drop in prices there is an equally vigorous storm of protest that the factories are cancelling orders given at the higher prices which prevailed a short time before. Just at present the com- plaints are of the latter variety, says the “Southern Lumberman.” It has always been a lamentable feature of the lumber trade that an order for lumber is apparently not regarded as a binding contract, but too frequently looked upon as merely a scrap of paper to be disregarded by the buyer or seller, as the case may be, at his whim. To “be sure, a large majority of those engaged in the ‘buying and selling of dander are conducting their business on an honest, upright business; but there is a sufficient proportion of those who have no regard for the scanctity of a contract to make a sore spot in the industry. The worst part of it is that this disregard for the moral and legal responsibility involved in an order is so frequently con- doned and overlooked by men whose standards of honesty in other directions are beyond criticism. The hardwood trade seems to be peculiarly cursed in this regard, for although the total volume of orders cancelled is not a very large — percentage of the total of the business transacted, there are some consumers of lumber who seem to regard an order as an order only when it suits their convenience so to regard it. Too many buyers for factories have fallen into the regrettable habit of speculative buying—which is another name for gambling. They try to anticipate the market and if they think it is going up they place orders for their future needs. If their anticipations are realized they have made a nice profit on the enhancement in price; and if a decline should “ensue instead of an advance the easy custom of the industry has decreed that any potential loss may be avoided by the simple expedient of cancelling the order on any flimsy pretext. Such a chronic lack of regard for moral and legal obligations on the part of either buyers or sellers of lumber is a demoralizing | influence in the trade and should be eliminated. It is true that any practice which has been so long forgiven and condoned is hard to uproot, but it can be uprooted if that vast majority of lumber buyers and sellers who conduct their business on a high plane insist on its elimination. Weak-kneed lumbermen have a way of saying “Oh, well, it’s true that the customer hasn’t any right to cancel that orden but he’ll be in the market again sometime and I don’t want to antagonize him, so I’ll let him get away with it this time.” That’s not the proper spirit. The man who accepts an order-for lumber in good faith has a right to expect that order to be carried out, and he should insist that it be carried out so long as he is living up to his part of the bargain. It is a poor rule that doesn’t work both ways, and it is a poor contract that binds only one of the contracting parties. Only a merciful providence can save from bankruptcy a lumber manufacturer who is bound to fill all his old orders when prices advance, and can’t make the buyer accept the lumber if the _ price declines. Manufacturers of lumber should insist that every order be car- ried out to the letter; and, to make their position secure, they should see to. it that they themselves preserve an equal respect for all orders they accept. ‘The mill man who has squirmed out of a low- price order on an advancing market is in poor position to insist that a buyer stay with a burdensome order. But if the lumber manufac- turer’s record on that score is clear, he can with good grace insist that the buyer accept the lumber- for which he has given his formal order; and he should so insist on a rigid fulfilment of the sales con- tract, even though it be necessary to cane the matter into the courts: ah to establish the “seller's rightsy 9/7 oe og Ree oes ws vale % a rl De 3 vet RN , eT 00 Many Theories and not Enough Practice - Representative Nova Scotia Lumberman Sounds Clarion Call in Getting Down to Business at Once in Forest Conservation H. T. Warne, of Digby, N.S., is well known as a successful manufacturer of lumber and box shooks. He has been in the lum- ber game for over 35 years and has had a sound, practical experience in all its branches. Mr. Warne thoroughly believes in the industry in which he is engaged, its progress, influence and usefulness. An ardent advocate of the conversation of our natural resources and upholding the best traditions and practices of the forest products line, Mr. Warne contributes a few timely observations on present- ‘day tendencies and incidentally relates some lively reminiscences. After repeated requests on the part of the “Canada Lumberman,” Mr. Warne, who is of a retiring disposition, consented to tell something of his acquaintance and insight in the lumber arena. His remarks, which follow, are well worth reading: So many changes have taken place in lumber activities one hardly knows what feature to specialize upon. Perhaps it would be all right for me to commence with my first trip in the woods as a wood- man. In 1886 I began my career, and the first thing I did was to gather fir boughs for a field bed to lay my part with twenty-five others and a comfortable bed it was. I will enumerate some of the unknown equipment that forms a part of our outfit to-day; stoves, lamps, butter, potatoes, cash, pay days, Workmen’s Compensation, Stock Companies, overdrafts, section 38 of the Banking Act, logging engines, iced roads, double cutting band saws, edge grain flooring, Chartered Accountants, Sinking and Reserve Fund accounts, Game _ Wardens, etc. Here are some of the things we did have; plenty of pork, beans twenty-one times a week, good bread(?) cooked in a bake kettle, molasses and good it was. I remember well as it came from Cuba and cost 17 cents per gallon, and the lumber we cut sold in Cuba for $17.00 per M. but, best of all, we had a jolly good crew who at night __ planned their roads and cutting for the next day so that we might do ‘a | | 7 v, where [ am now writing. vf the game law when the forest is gone? “gone pyatike faa done by natives and land owners. a good winter’s work and thus secure a job for the next winter. I could go on and enumerate, for those were the days when life was real and things were more on an equal than they are to-day. Some one will say this may be true, but we have few who know.. What about conditions during 1923 and on? This brings one to the danger zone, and as it is no doubt a fact, it is so much easier to find fault than it is to do right, one should be very careful. It is equally true that it takes a bigger man to reveal a thing than it does to conceal it. Are Top Heavy with Theories I have attended a few conventions and from thought offered, we are top heavy with theory without practice. I believe many times ‘if the preacher could get a good expression from the pews, he would know better how to feed his people. The average man to-day spends from $6.50 to $8.00 per month for cigarettes, and it is not only the extravagant waste to the con- sumer’s mind, body and pocket, but it is the most disastrous article that forms a part of the woods outfit. It has been long conceded that fire has made greater inroads than the axe. I am prepared to state that in 1914, a fire started on the limits It looked at first to be a wipe out, but with the use of two hundred men and personal effort, it was burned to a peak, the forest saved and every man was convinced that such a fire could be controlled. The circumstance was so marked, we traced the origin to a man, who had for convenience stayed over night in one ‘of our camps and, as a result of smoking, set the fire. I have care- fully kept in touch with these limits and 1 am convinced there is an annual growth of seven million per year, with the far point not more than ten miles from the town in which I live. I believe that every wanderer on personal owned forest tind should be as promptly prosecuted as if found going through the _ company’s store, also that no employee should either. sell or “smoke cigarettes in the woods. Our game law should be revised and every man severely penalized found with gun or fishing rod sporting in the woods without a guide. Why should the stranger or town folks have the right to travel our forests without a permit or guide any more than ‘through our plant or office? What will be the use of The real hunting game is CANADA LUMBERMAN 43 Though I am speaking for myself, yet I know I sentiment of others when I say every lumberman is glad to have a sportsman come into his camp and enjoy freedom. It is the party going into the woods to have a drunk, dodging behind the game law, who is unwelcome. There is no one patrolling the forest, so no proof is to be had and one is forced to complain. To see British Columbia settlers and ranchers burning up good Douglas fir trees with from two to three thousand feet in them, looked just like burning up $15 bills. In a great many cases ignor- ance is the cause of crime. Education of a conservative nature promotes honor and honor suppresses evil. Let us have a half tone cut of some forest grove on the front page of the school book and let the significance of forest conservation be impressed upon the minds of the children. Should Stop Pulpwood Export Let us stand shoulder to shoulder with men like Mr. Frank Barnjum, who is on the right trail when he is trying to prohibit the shipment of pulpwood. It only takes a few thousand acres of land if well cut and manufactured to sustain a settlement of two hundred ~ people, provided the owner is not too mercenary. A great idea is given in the June issue of the man” about pulpwood. In my opinion the farmer is the one who | would benefit most. He cannot afford to cut young growth any | more than he could afford to sell all his planting of beets for greens. There is no one nature assists more than the farmer and he should — let the product reach maturity. In 1902 I sold a farm that con- tained about ten acres of good apple orchard with some twenty-five acres of young second growth spruce. The present owner last win- ter thinned out some of the better trees and cut sixty thousand feet. © I measured one tree that was seventy-three years old and it sawed ‘out three hundred and forty feet of lumber. Beyond any question of doubt the timber has given much better results than the orchard. I wish I had time to cite just such other cases. Why not sell all our little pigs, lambs, calves, chickens, to the Americans and_ throw in the boys and girls for good measure? am voicing the “Canada Lumber-. Nova Scotia Lumbermen Will Hold Annual Rufus E. Dickie, of Stewiacke, N.S., President of the Nova Scotia Lumbermen’s Association, states that the annual meeting of © that body, which was to have taken place some time ago, will be held in Halifax on Wednesday, July 4th. An interesting and instruc- — tive program has been outlined anda large attendance of members © from the various parts of the province is ‘anticipated. The forestry car, which has been touring the province under the direction of the Canadian Forestry Association will be in Halifax at that time and — will prove one of the features of the gathering. In reference -to lumber conditions generally in the province, President Dickie says that old stocks have been pretty well cleared up and new stuff is being shipped out about as fast as it is manufac- tured. He does not think that the cut will be any greater than was at first estimated. The American market has been going on the decline of late but the English market will absorb the stock that. would go to U.S. consumers. The English situation is not as good as it was but at the present time is preferable to the American. On the whole, manufacturers will be able to report a good year. ‘The Canadian Lumber Co., Ltd., of which Mr. Dickie is. man- ager, has been doing very well this season and has shipped and sold approximately one million feet of lumber a month. International Company Increases Production The International Land & Lumber Co., Limited, St. Felicien, Que., of which C. W. Bates is vice-president and general-manager, say they are operating their mill to full capacity this season. The cut | will be about double that of last year. They have already sold this year’s production of railway ties and lumber, and find the price much better than last season. The company have had no trouble with labor so far, and do not expect any; in fact they look for conditions to be very satisfactory as the men are returning from the drives and fighting bush fires. ‘ Mr. McCabe js Appointed Director At the annual meeting of the Campbell-MacLaurin Lumber Co., Limited, which was held in Montreal recently, Arthur H. Campbell was elected president in succession to the late Alex. MacLaurin who passed away several months ago. E. Mc- Callum, superintendent of the company’s plant at Drummond- ville, Que., was elected vice- president, and the other directors are George L. Ryon, Ogdens- buroe N.Y. 3 (DeWiutt? Co vCulver, Brattleboro, N.Y.; and €. W. McCabe, of Toronto. The latter is a newly-elected director and has well earned his promotion. Mr. McCabe has been with the company for several years as Ontario representative and is well liked by the industry. He was born in Nova Scotia where his father and uncles have long _ been identified with the lumber business, and has been in the game for twenty-two years. His father, H. A. McCabe, is still active in the lumber line and for a number of years has been with the Nash- ~ waak Pulp & Paper Co., St. John, N.B. Young McCabe got his first _ job in New Brunswick with the Bonney River Lumber Co. when in his teens and performed various jobs in the bush, drive and mill. At the end of three years he had enough practical acquaintance with camp activities to satisfy him for a while, and he decided to spend a few years at school. He finished High School and later business college at St. John, N.B., and next joined Rhodes-Curry, Limited, at Amherst, N.S. He was with them seven years in various capa- cities as yard salesman, shipper, etc. He then went West and spent some time in the Prairie Provinces, and during the war was with the army for three years, being with the R.C.R. ‘No. 3. A few months after the Armistice, Mr. McCabe: became identified with the Camp- — bell-MacLaurin Lumber Co. and has made a big success of the firm’s _ Ontario ‘business. He resides at No. 1 Vermont Ave., Toronto, and - takes a deep interest in the Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association, if being one of the most regular attendants at the monthly gatherings. i. a C7 Sethi enbe Se tgs = \ C. W. McCabe, Toronto i ; Quebec Firm Busy Shipping Birch i The Louise Lumber Co., Ltd., of Quebec, at the head of which is H. R. Van, are this season, making large shipments of birch deals and birch timber to the Old Country. The company are very busy 2 at the present time and report that the outlook is steadily improving. Mr. Van states that the exports of the firm are breaking all records at the present juncture. ; In reference to the new sales tax, the Louise Lumber Company _ add that as far as they can see, the measure is unworkable and they do not believe that it will ever go into force. If it does become law, it does not seem possible for the lumber industry to make proper returns unless it is plainly specified just who is to pay the tax. As % now proposed, manufacturers will pay the tax in some cases and in 3 other cases it will be passed on and no one knows where it would end. The firms say they are not going to worry about it for the re present but are doing all they can to have the present tax of 3% 4 remain as it is. Lumber Conditions Good in New Ontario The New Ontario Colonization Co., whose mill and land office is at Jacksonboro, Ont. and headquarters in Buffalo, N.Y., say that _ their operations are going along in good shape at the present time. They had a sufficient cut of logs during the past winter to stock their mill and, although they were del ayed in getting under way until well along in May, their plant has been running steadily. The labor sup- | ply has not only been sufficient but also thoroughly efficient as com- pared with recent years. Higher wages have been paid than last season which the company found necessary in order to hold a good crew. The cut of the New Ontario Colonization Co. will be in the _ neighborhood of eight million feet, which is a considerable jincrease Over 1922. _ In regard to market conditions, the company state that the emand seems to have steadied somewhat from the exceptionally mee. 4ee FP. * a bpRe yo.

Edwards Lumber & Pulp, Limited, have purchased the mills and limits of the Colonial Lumber Co., Limited, at Pembroke, Ont. These mills have a sawing capacity of some 20 to 25 million hil s(= He per annum, cutting mostly white pine. The Colonial Company have been operating for some 20 years and have one of the most up-to- date lumber manufacturing plants in Canada. The amalgamation — with the Edwards Lumber & Pulp Co. secures ample spruce and pine | sawlogs to furnish the mills at Pembroke with raw material for an indefinite period. ‘The scheme contemplates doubling the capacity of the sawmill forthwith making the output from 35 to 40 million per annum and later on the construction of a pulp and paper mill. The enlarged industry will undoubtedly mean considerable to the town of Pembroke and to the districts from which the new com- pany will draw its raw material, and will distribute its products throughout Great Britain, Canada and the United States, it being the intention of the Edwards Lumber & Pulp Co. to saw deals for the English market as well as domestic and United States sizes. The principal interests represented in the Edwards Lumber & Pulp Co. are those connected with W. C. Edwards & Co., Limited, Ottawa, and Watson & Todd, Limited, of Ottawa, and Liverpool, England. The officers of the new company, whose head office is in Pem- broke, Ont., are——Gordon C. Edwards, Ottawa, president; J. W. ‘Smith, Pembroke, vice-president and general- -manager; E. R. Brem- ner, Ottawa, vice-president; W. R.

Of this, about 8,500,000 feet has been sold as and when ready to ship. The lumber will be brought ome eee from Canada exclusively by rail. An important feature of the new arrangement lies in the eas’ that for years the Pembroke Co. has‘sold its lumber en bloc to outside wholesalers. Formerly, too, at least one third of the output, parti- — cularly the higher grades, has been disposed of in the English market. | Through the organization of the Sales company it is expected, ~ disposed of this year in the United States, particularly. in the metro- politan district. ‘The company stresses the fact that it is to sell particularly in the New York market soft white pine, which is prac- tically the same as Michigan cork pine.

The document was entered | into on February 24, 1920, but on June 16 of the same year the defendants returned their copy of the contract, stating: ““We prefer, and have arranged, not to hold you to this agreement.” - The plaintiff company answered that they regretted the stand _ taken by defendants, and that they would wait a few days before returning the contract, trusting that after consideration the request for cancellation would be withdrawn. In reply, Blair Brothers stated that they again asked the Riverside company to cancel the contract. SA protracted correspondence ensued between the parties, in the course of which the Riverside Manufacturing company declared that s they would cancel the contract upon payment by Blair Brothers of _ $4,000, covering loss which would result from resale, owing to a : drop in the price of laths. This offer was not accepted by the “defen- _ dants, and after the expiry of a delay it was withdrawn. Finally, _ the Riverside Manufacturing Company turned the-matter over to its solicitors. The defendants refused to consider themselves bound by the contract, and the laths were duly sold at Three Rivers at - public auction, under due process of law. The difference between _ the price brought at the auction, and that agreed upon in the con- tract amounted to $7,705.60. Mr. Justice Surveyer held that in the instance the purchasers could not cancel the sale without the plaintiffs’ consent, and that the latter could compel the defendants to execute their agreement and take delivery. The laths were payable on January 2, ‘1921, and the g contract being one of a commercial nature in which the time of per- j formance was fixed, the debtor was put in default by the mere lapse ’ ; = of time. As defendants did not take delivery before the time agreed upon, the plaintiffs were justified in selling the laths at public. auc- tion. . Including the loss suffered by the resale and expenses of the 5 ‘sale, the amount in which the defendants were liable was placed by __ Mr. Justice Surveyer at $8,124.65, with interest from date of sum- _ mons and costs. Peters are Given Needed Punishment ; : For years past the Canadian operating lumber firms have been victimized by men who apply for work in the woods. The latter are advanced money to pay their railroad fare, etc., and then default in the engagements and decamp without returning the money ad- vanced. Of late this practice has become a common one, and * although many firms have been victimized, they have suffered their Ss ‘losses rather than institute court proceedings against the defaulters. There is one firm, however, who have had the courage to go after ans ee dishonest lumberjacks and that firm is the Greening Lumber _ Company, an Ontario concern. operating in the Abitibi district, who _ last season in its lumber operations in the woods was victimized by seventeen men who were engaged to work in the woods and to whom Be the company advanced their railroad fare as well as lodged and _ boarded for several days. They rewarded the firm by deserting. The manager of the Greening Lumber Company determined to _ make an example of these culprits. Mr. M. Maclean succeeded in 2 locating three of the men in Quebec, and on May 14 came to the ~ Quarter Sessions. A warrant for their arrest was issued and when _ the men were taken into custody by the provincial police, Mr. Bern- _ ard Devlin, was engaged by Mr. Maclean to prosecute. The accused were arrainged before Judge Lachance in the Court of Sessions, who were at the time remanded to goal, pending an effort to effect the est of the other fourteen, who, however, skipped the city and ict deg fhey had been warned of the apprehension of the three Several Legal Decisions of Interest to Lumbermen - city and lodged a complaint against them in the Quebec Court of ' ‘ CANADA LUMBERMAN a laborers. The case came up for a hearing on June 12 before Judge Lachance. The three were found guilty and each was fined $5.00 and costs or in default of payment to serve fifteen days in prison. The fine with the cost amounted to $41.30 for each to pay, and not having the money the offenders were sent to prison. Mr. Devlin, in summing up the case, informed the court that the crime was a common practice among certain men who applied for bush work to Canadian lumber companies, and demanded that the accused be severely punished as an-example. Judge Lachance, in passing sentence, rebuked the accused, tell- ing them that the offence charged against. them was serious and criminal, and they were liable to be severely punished by a prison sentence. As it was the first case of the kind which had been brought before them, he would be lenient and would let them off with a fine of $5.00 and costs or fifteen days’ imprisonment. The judge stated that in future if any person or persons were brought before him for the same offence, he would make an example of them. Farmer Enters Action Against Sawmiller Farmers and lumbering men are interested in a case which was argued at Sherbrooke, Que., recently before Mr, Justice Globensky and Mr. Justice White in the Superior Court and finally taken en delibere. Plaintiff, Delphis WAbonies instituted an action against Joseph Martel for the sum of $999 for damages occasioned to his property, as well as for loss of hay, due to the gathering of refuse from defen- dant’s sawmill on his property. The plaintiff owns a farm of about 230 acres at St. Julie de Wolfestown, the property being intersected by the White River. The defendant owns a sawmill higher up the river, and plaintiff claimed that the debris, sawdust and bark, result- ing from his lumbering operations, were thrown into the river and gradually accumulated along the banks of his property, covering an area of severity acres, partly spoiling the hay crop, Defendant pleaded that the mill had been operated for the past fifty years and that, altogether plaintiff has occupied his farm for many years he had never complained previously. Defendant expres- sed the opinion that the present action was malicious. Defendant also intimated that even though the action were justified, he should not be held entirely responsible, as there were other sawmills opera- ted on the river. Finally, it was contended that the sawdust, instead of damaging the property, would increase its value, and application was made for the dismissal of the action with costs. Partners are Held Liable on Note Judgment condeming Joseph E. Leclerc et al. to pay $800, being the amount of a note, with interest from its date, to La Fonderie de Plessisville, was handed down recently by Mr. Justice Wilson in the Superior Court, Montreal, The note, dated November 15, 1920, was made payable seven months after date to the order of J. A. Gagnon, and was negotiated ~ to La Fonderie de Plessisville, who sued Leclerc et al. as being joint- ly and severally liable as partners in the Royal Lumber Company, signatory to the note. The defence pleaded that the signature of the Royal Lumber Company was not the signature of the defendants doing business in partnership in Montreal; that this signature was not approved with their knowledge or authorization; that moreover, the plaintiff was not a holder in due course, having received it only for collection, without having given valuable consideration. In upholding the plaintiff's action Mr. Justice Wilson stated that Julien Therrien, as agent for his wife, was doing business in partner- ship with Leclerc under the name of the Royal Lumber Company, and that they had power to sign the said note and to bind the part- nership with regard to third parties for obligations contracted in the partnership name, in the ordinary course of business. Since the plaintiff company was a holder in due course, Leclerc et al. were held jointly and severally liable on the note, with interest from its date. pt 4 CAND A Mr. Gordon Speaks Hopefully of West Mr. A. E. Gordon of the A. E. Gordon Lumber Company, Tor- onto, who recently returned to Toronto after a trip through Western Canada to the Pacific Coast, reports that throughout the Crow’s Nest district of Brit- ish Columbia the loggers, who were recently on strike, have re- sumed work but, as a ,conse- quence of this strike, some mills will be short of logs and will have to close down considerably earlier than expected. Owing to several mills in this district be- ing cut out of timber and on ac- count of failures, etc., there are comparatively few plants opera- ting this season. Some of these have tie contracts with the rail- ways who will take a large share of their production so that the output of lumber in this section will be quite limited. Elsewhere throughout the Mountain districts production seems to be about average. On the Coast the large majority of the mills operating have export orders enough on their books to keep them busy for two or three months and some of them are actually refusing further export business. There is very little accumulation of stock of any kind. ‘The demand from the United States, Atlantic Coast and Calli- fornia which fell off abruptly about a month ago, is now reviving Mr. Gordon says that the British Columbia shingle market pre- sents another of its periodical tangles. Cedar logs and bolts were so costly during the early part of the year that the mills claim they could not break even, so most of them shut down for several weeks during April and May. Timber was then reduced in price and the mills started up again, only to be faced with a serious slump in the United States market which absorbs from 75 to 90 per cent. of the A. E. Gordon, Toronto production. Shingles are now selling below the cost of production, | owing largely to the pernicious habit of placing cars unsold in transit. This condition of affairs must right itself quickly or the mills must close down again. Crop conditions throughout the Prairie Provinces look much more promising than they have in years. Optimism again prevails in the Canadian West. This optimism is already being felt in an increased demand for yard stocks. Giving it as his opinion that the condition most ardently desired by every right thinking person engaged in the lumber business 1s steady and reasonably profitable production, together with well bal- anced markets to absorb such output, Mr. Gordon thinks the recent lull in the demand from the Eastern United States and the Canadian markets will have a beneficial effect in the desired direction and will make for sound and steady conditions throughout the balance of the year. Northern Lumber Concern Voices Complaint b The Pigeon River Lumber Co., of Port Arthur, Ont., say there has been quite a brisk local demand for lumber so far this season which will likely be kept up for the remainder of the summer. The firm are not now operating their saw mill for the reason that they have not been successful in obtaining from the Government suitable timber areas at right price. They assert that it appears wrong for the Provincial administration to adopt a ‘policy which has as its effect the retarding of the lumber industry which, they believe, is caused by the enormous pulp concessions granted to pulp and paper con- cerns who use only a small proportion of the merchantable timber on a given area. The Pigeon River Lumber Co. are of the opinion that there will be considerable advance in the price of pulpwood this fall. Nearly all the mills have consumed all their reserve wood, which will throw them into the market for huge quantities. Kept Busy on Spruce and Spoolwood The James Richardson Co., Matane, Que., say their»cut this season is about seven and a half million feet, principally of spruce -and spoolwood. They had figured on bringing out close to ten mil- lion feet, but shortage of labor, the cold late spring and illness in LUM 'B ERM Ae Le eee ete ede ae ‘linger says that his own operations are not as large as during past a CU FR orale chee a er “ Y filled their contracts, and on account of the sudden jump in men’s’ ~ wages, quite a few finished up with a loss. The company in some cases had to increase the price allowed for logs in order to keep the camps going. Considerable sawing was done during the winter © with a portable mill, but the firm still have two mills on the river front sawing spruce and spoolwood and expect to finish cutting early in August. . Most of the output has been sold. The James Richardson Co. are shipping lumber out as fast as boats can be secured, and the bulk of spruce is going via Quebec for the American market. Inquiries for lumber have been coming in well with prices holding up con- sistenly with the exception of lath. An officer of the company stated recently that the prospects are there will be a heavy cut in the Matane district next winter and probably a further increase in wages. The cost of lumbei will, cer- tainly, be up from 10 to 15 per cent. from the present outlook. — Good Demand for Lumber up North NBS R. S. Potter, lumberman, of Matheson, Ont., states that he will have a cut of about 600,000 feet, three-quarters of which is white pine and the remainder jack pine and spruce. He has completed hs sawing for the present season. Mr. Potter adds that the demand for lumber in the north country is fairly good. Prices are ranging from $32.00 to $40.00 per M. feet, f.o.b. cars for spruce and jack pine. _ In regard to labor, there is plenty of work and good men look- — dng for jobs are very scarce. Several mills in the Matheson district were late in getting started this season but the majority that have logs are now operating. B02 ae Average Lumber Cut Around Sioux Lookout G. E. Farlinger of Sioux Lookout, Ont., says that lumbering operations in that district are about on an average of those con- — ducted in former years. The cut of the different mills will be about the same as last season. The labor supply is fairly good and wages approximately the same as last summer. Lumber prices are some- what less than they were a few months ago, but it would appear, that there will not be any further reductions this season. Mr. Far- years. It is too early as yet to form any accurate opinion regarding what the coming season’s operations will be. a ; More Sawmills Add New Equipment © ; The Waterous Engine Works Co., of Brantford, Ont., have recently supplied one, eight foot band mill for John Harrison & Sons, of Owen Sound, and also another mill of the same dimensions to Pratt & Shanacy, who are successors to Booth & Shannon, at Biscotasing, Ont. : The Waterous Co. have equipped the new mill of the Hope Lum- ber Co., at Little Current, Ont., with the following installations: two 8 ft. band mills; one, 42 in. opening carriage; two, 10 in. steam feeds; one, nigger; two, 18 x 24 engines; one, log loader; one double deck kicker ; two, cant flippers; one, 48 in. edger; two; 72 x 16 boilers, and also live rolls, shafting, transfers, conveyors and drives as well as one, eight saw automatic trimmer. 4 Awful Devastation of Forest Fires | Late estimates placed the value of forest damages by fires in New Brunswick at not less than $5,000,000. The fires in the richest virgin forests of the province continued unabated for many days. As a result of the serious situation Hon .C. W. Robinson, Minister of Lands and Mines, issued a proclamation ordering prohibition of all forest travel in the eight northern counties of New Brunswick, Resti- gouche, Madawaska, Gloucester, Northumberland, Kent, York, Carleton and Victoria. All existing forest travel certificates flor that territory were cancelled, and by the same proclamation the prohibi- — tion of all brush and slash burning throughout the entire province, effective since May 15th, was continued indefinitely. The Minister also sent instructions to all fire wardens who are created special constables under the Fire Law, that all violators are forthwith to be arrested and held for prosecution under the provisions of the criminal co code. sith TS: a ae A reply received by Col. T. G. Loggie, Deputy, Minister of Lands — and Mines for New Brunswick, to his request forwarded lately to Ottawa for a detachment of mounted police to patrol the northern fire areas of the province, stated that the request could not be com- piled with owing to lack of men, ery ; _ that clocks were not designed to run backward; National Hardwood Lumber Broadening Out W. F. Oliver of Toronto Elected to Board of Directors—Associate Membership Facilities Now Presented—Number of Inspectors Constantly Growing A year of increased activity and developing interest was revealed in the reports and addresses given before the twenty-sixth annual convention of the National Hardwood Lumber Association which was held in Chicago on June 13th to 15th. The attendance was large and the proceedings marked by optimism and unanimity. Seventy lumber firms in Canada are members of the National Hardwood Lumber Association, and it is pleasing to record that a Canadian wholesaler in the person of W. F. Oliver, of the Oliver Lumber Co., Toronto, was elected a director from Canada. He succeeds George C. Goodfellow, of Montreal. Mr. Oliver will serve for three years. John W. McClure, of Memphis, Tenn., was re- elected president, and Earl Palmer, of Memphis, ee was elected an honorary-director. The social functions of the gathering were very enjoyable. One of the features was the annual banquet, attended by no _ less than 1,200 persons. It was an entertainment de luxe and the best traditions of the Association from every standpoint were maintained. Many matters of moment were discussed and President McClure, in his address, forecasted a season of prosperity. He said business conditions were fundamentally sound and the members might look forward with confidence to a period of reasonable activity during the remainder of the year. Some disciples of gloom had predicted that we must some day return to prewar values, but ‘Mr. McClure stated the world moves forward and “the sooner we cast into forgetfulness the pre-war standards of value which are gone forever, the sooner will we adjust ourselves to the new standards by which business can be gauged hereafter.” Principle on Which to Build In conclusion he said:—‘‘May I be permitted to refer to that greatest of all codes of ethics, the Holy Bible, a simple philosophy - upon which must rest all enduring things, whether it be an individual, an association or a nation? This is no Sunday school discourse, but a plain business statement. ‘True success and prosperity depend upon the applied rules of Christianity, and what better foundation could exist for the National Hardwood Lumber Association than the eternal principle upon which our structure has been built from its ' inception, and which is best expressed in those deathless words of the Great Teacher, “Therefore, all things whatsoever you wee that men should do to you, do ye even so to them.” Frank F. Fish, the veteran secretary-treasurer, gave a compre- hensive report in which he said:—“The National Hardwood Lum- ber Association neither supports nor opposes the new movement toward the proposed general standardization of the lumber industry. W. F. Oliver, Toronto Newly elected Director Take Paar Can, | x! i Tee - ~ be CANADA LUMBERMAN . 47 G. C. Goodfellow, Montreal Retiring Director Its attitude is simply that of non-participation. If later on it should develop that the proposed theories are practicable and that they can be carried into effect to the advantage of the industry, there is noth- ing in the position of the association to restrain it from adopting and applying these theories. The advanced position which the hard- wood lumber industry has attained through the operation of the National Hardwood Lumber Association in all matters relating to practical standardization fully justifies that division of the lumber industry is marking time until the remainder of the industry has come abreast of that position. “During the last year the process of readjusting grades to meet | the ever-changing conditions within the industry has proceeded upon. the same broad, orderly and evolutionary lines of development as those which have hitherto been adopted by the association in its work of revision and betterment of existing standards of inspection.” Personnel of the Membership The membership of the Association today stands at 1,302, there being a large addition to the ranks during the past year. Mr. Fish said that for many years attempts have been made to stir up fac- tional strife within the membership and we still hear the charge that “the National Hardwood Lumber Association is dominated by whole- salers and middlemen.” While these statements have been conclu- sively branded as false, the lie still persists and is constantly circu- lated by our opponents who are unable to injure us by statements of facts. In order to determine the exact percentage of sawmill operators and wholesalers within the membership of the association, a questionnaire was sent out in October last, and the results showed 62 per cent of the membership at that time to be manufacturers of lumber, and owing to the fact that many members conduct more than one mill operation, the total number of hardwood sawmills in operation by our members was 1,006. A year ago the number of salaried inspectors in the Association was 65. Today the number is 86, showing an increase of 21. The present rules are the most complete and comprehensive ever pub- lished, according to the secretary-theasurer, and are recognized as | equitable by all branches of the trade. This is evident by important gains registered in the Inspection Department. Toronto Great Hardwood Centre Mr. Fish then presented some figures from the Inspection Department for the year ending June Ist, 1923, showing the quantity of lumber inspected in each district and market, the amount earned and exact cost of maintenance. Toronto stands well up in the list, and the. number of feet inspected during the past year was f H. L. Hebard, Montreal New Eastern Inspector 48 CANADA LUMBERMAN 10,064,174, the earnings being $15,280.05 and expense $14,687.25. In Montreal the quantity of lumber inspected was 3,505,095 feet, the earnings were $5,334.86, and the expense $5,260.92. Of all the hard- wood centres Toronto stands sixth on the list, being exceeded only by Memphis, Grand Rapids, Chicago, Louisville and Cincinnati. The inspection rules have during the past year been printed in French for distribution abroad and in the province of Quebec where the National Hardwood Association has about 30 members. Many other matters also came up, including associate member- ship which may be enjoyed for $50 a year. This membership will include all the privileges of the Association with the exception of voting power at the annual meetings. The right to join is extended to furniture, automobile, piano, gramophone, washing machine, woodenware and other plants in this line. The constitution was duly amended to include associate membership, and it is believed that the movement is one which will result in greater strength for the N.H.L. A. It will establish a closer union between consumers and producers and is a visible evidence of the esteem and confidence in which the National Hardwood Association is held by hardwood-con- suming interests. Visit by Canadians to Madison A large party accepted the invitation extended by the United States Forest Products Laboratory at Madison, Wis., and paid a visit to that institution, a number of Canadians taking in the trip, At the Forest Products Laboratory the equipment and working of the institution were inspected, more especially the plans and progress which have been made in the field of experimental and practical hardwood standardization. } Among those present from Canada at the gathering were. John McBean, (McBean & Verrall) ; R. McDonagh, W. F. Oliver, George _ Kinnon, John J, Miller, (Anderson-Miller Lumber Co.); R. A. Neil- -son,( Russell-Harris Lumber Co.); Frank Kent, J. A.

The sales were made on basis of percentages of size and quality, viz., about 80% of regulars and 20% of oddments. Regular pine deals were 12 ft. long 11” wide and 3” thick and qualities generally called for about 20% lst, 45% 2nd, 20% 3rd, and 15% 4th, when 4th quality were called for. m 4 “Regulars in spruce were 12 ft. x 9 x 3 and oddments were 6 ft. and up 7” and up, and the qualities ran much the same as white pine _ except in Ist quality which generally turned out a little better than the white pine did. c When the mills were ready to start sawing the owners put in _ a requisition for a culler, an order was issued, and the culler pro- _ ceeded to the mill. While he held the order everything appertaining to the grading was absolutely under his control. Neither the buyer or the seller could interfere or dictate to him. If either seller or _ buyer or either were not satisfied with his work their only recourse _ was to call for a survey, and if the culler was found in fault he was _ penalized, and if he was in the right the party calling the survey _ was mulcted in all the costs of the survey and arising expenses. . “Up to about 1880 a large quantity of pine deals were rafted and floated to Quebec, where they were culled, and landed and piled, -and when well seasoned shipped overseas. Quite a portion of the _ tafted deals were shipped direct from the raft into the ship. Deals Both Floated and Bright “The deals landed from the rafts and piled or put aboard ship from the raft were called floated deals, while the deals that were not rafted but piled and seasoned before shipment were called bright deals. The floated deals were considered better lumber for working up than the bright deals, for the reason that they were in the water for from six months to two years and all the gum and sap was drawn _ out of the wood by their long immersion in the water. When _ breaking up the rafts between each tier or layer of deals (a raft would _ be composed of from 15 to 20 tiers of deals) there would be an inch or more thick of gummy sap like jelly. i, “Landing and piling deals from the rafts was quite a heavy job _ for the men employed. To begin with each tier of deals as it was _ uncovered was washed by boys with chip birch brooms and pails of water dashed on the deals. The culler then went over and classed them, after ‘which carriers heaved the deal on their shoulders, and carried them from the raft to the wharf (which at low tide was anywhere from 25 to 40 ft. high) and then to the piles. This meant covering quite a distance of ground, as each quality had separate piles _and each dimension had separate piles, and no matter how high the 7 “ Heeney (Percy E.

Oliver, or “Frank,” as he is generally known, who has - been made a director for Canada on the N.H.L.A., is a popular and — genial lumberman who has a wide acquaintance with the trade, not only in the Dominion but across the border. The Oliver Lumber Co. Toronto was the first Canadian lumber firm to join the National Hardwood Lumber Association. This was some eighteen years ago, and a great many Canadian concerns have come into the Association since that date. 9 Mr. Oliver has been engaged in the lumber line since 1904. His first position was with the Peterbcro Lumber Co. and the Dick- son 'Co., Peterboro, after which he joined his father, the late Joseph Oliver, and brother, J. O. Oliver, in the Oliver Lumber Co., of which firm he is today vice-president, and looks after the sales end and yards. Mr, Oliver is also a past president of the Lake Shore Country — Club. ‘That he will be a live-wire director, goes without saying, and he has already notified the Canadian members that if-there is any- thing which they believe would be for the betterment of the Asso- ciation, he will be glad to take it up at any meeting of the directors. Mr. Oliver confidently believes that the membership from Canada in the N.H.L.A. will exceed 100 before the close of the present year. Secretary Fish announced that action had been taken at the semi-annual meeting of the National Veneer & Panel Manufacturers’ Association, by which the members of that association, numbering about thirty, would individually become “full fledged members” of the National Hardwood Lumber Association, President Harry Klein, of the first named association, was called on the platform, and — in a few words confirmed Secretary Fish’s announcement, adding that there were in the veneer and panel industry seventy or more manufacturers not affiliated with the National Veneer & Panel Asso- — ciation, so there is room for missionary work on the part of the ~ National Hardwood association to bring them “within the fold.” pile was, the carrier mounted it with the’ deal on his shoulder and placed it in its proper position. . “When one considers that those deals were from 7” up to 30 inches wide, 12 ft. long and up and 3 inches thick, and water soaked for six months to two years, one can imagine the weight they would be on a man’s shoulder, and in many cases they would carry two of 7 or 8 inch at one time. When one looks back to those days there certainly is a big difference between the laborers of then and the present day. In the latter days of the rafting the Hamiltons installed steam pumps at their new Liverpool Cove for washing the deals in the rafts. : a Requisition For A Culler Kagt Form M. 20 Cullers Quebec, 1st June, 1880. oh So canetes G..

Although small in size, the village is the cee of La Cie D. Rouleau & Fils, Ltee., St. Tite, Que., state that their mill is not operating at full capacity at the present time, and it is not their intention to cut much timber next winter. The reason _ for this action is the large wages which they are obliged to pay and _ the transportation charges which they contend are much too high. S. M. Rouleau states that no doubt the result of the high wages will be an appreciable increase in the merchandising price of “lamber _ because it is necessary to get a price proportionate to the advanced cost of manufacture. He states that the high cost of living to-day _ is responsible for the heavy demands made “by labor, and until the ' cost of things comes down in general, he does not believe there will _be any recessions. @ J. D. McCormack, general-manager of the Canadian Western “Lumber Co., Fraser Mills, B.C., was in Toronto recently on business. His stay, however, was much shorter thar he intended as while in the city he received an urgent message to return to the West owing to) the illness of Mrs. McCormack, who has since greatly improved. The village of Upsalquitch, fifteen miles from Campbellton, N.B., the International Railroad, was swept by fire ye The sta- on and dwellings were all destroyed as well as the sawmill of Reid, a large lumber business. P. L. Canfield of Canfield-Wilmot, Limited, Woodstock, Ont., and Wm. Griesinger, of the Windsor Lumber Co., turned recently front an extended motor trip through the Eastern — states. They visited all the leading cities on the Atlantic coast: as far south as Washington.

A feature in connection with this is that the first sod for the mill was turned just eight months ago, thus regis- tering what is said to be a world’s record in construction work of this kind. It is expected that newsprint will be rolled out of this mill by July. The “method of handling the logs is both efficient and simple. From the river the logs are raised by means of the modern chain belts to cut off saws “where they are sawn into uniform lengths. After passing through these saws they are taken by another chain After the bark is removed they are carried by another series of chain conveyors from floor to floor until they are delivered to the top where they are fed through special floor openings into the boxes which lead directly to the great grinders, hugh stone cylinders which revolve at the rate of 240 revo- lutions per minute. As the logs approach the stones, a device hyd- raulically operated brings them against the grinder with the pres- sure of 100 tons and water fed over the stones carries the ground wood through a sluice at the bottom. From here the pulverized wood fibre is pumped through underground pipes to the paper room, where the process of making it into paper ready for the use of news- papers of the world is carried on. ‘The mill when completed will have four grinders and later it is expected that two more will be installed. Everything about the mill is electrically operated and every device for the rapid and con- venient carrying on of the work has been secured. It is said that the mill is the most up-to- date and thoroughly equipped of its kind on the continent. rhs Pulpwood Embargo Should be Imposed George W. Sisson, Jr., President of the American Pulp and Paper Association, at a conference held in Chicago, stated that in the north eastern States, where the pulp and paper industry is concentrated to a degree found in no other section, and where the forests have been heavily overcut for many years, the industry cannot operate without the importation of a large percentage of its wood. No country on the globe exports pulpwood in the raw, except Canada. Its export of pulpwood amounts pretty close to 1,250,000 cords per year. The pulp and paper manufacturers of the U. S. have been anticipating an embargo on Canadian pulpwood for some time. _ As far as the actual supply of timber is concerned the Dominion is in the same plight as the U.S. Canada is assuming the lead in the pulp and. paper industry and in order to keep that lead there is only one course open for the Dominion: It must at all costs retrieve its wasted and diminished fortune, and most of all really protect the coming second growth, and further inauguarate a policy of cutting for a substantial annual yield. ‘es —_--—_ SS : Pulpwood Concerns Have Been Transferred The Long Lake pulp and timber limit which was awarded by tender to J. H. Black, 36 Toronto St., in July 1921, and upon which before April 1922, he was to establish a pulp mill, situated at some point in the district of Thunder Bay, and equip it, was hecently trans- ferred by Mr. Black to Lewis L. Alstead, of Appleton, Wisconsin. Mr. Alstead has taken over the responsibility of carrying out the necessary work and has now all the right, title and interest in the limit formerly held by Mr. Black. Mr. Alstead is the principal man behind the projected mill of the Great Lakes Pulp & Paper ‘Co., at ‘Port Arthur. Bere jure. 15th T9221" the Nagagami River pulp and timber limit was awarded by the Ontario Government to the Transcontinental Limited, 85 Bay St., Toronto. Afterwards the company’s name was changed to that of the Transcontinental Paper Co. The original holders under the conditions of sale were required =. to Pee construction on a pe mill and carry out certain other CANADA LUMBERMAN 55 ere me, gr Ys ag sesseneetesartteres sts Bt PPO POAT IIIT TTT Sy PESTS ROR Tat ieee tee ena hice aa Oo ond aa ha RPP I nt Mier at eet tee J to the inability of the halders to locate a suitable waterfront on the limit, a further extension of time is being sought in the hope that negotiations may be had with the Hydro-electric Commission that will result in a satisfactory solution of the pawer problem now apparently confronting the company obligated to develop the area. Chicoutimi Company Will Extend Operations The Chicoutimi Pulp Cmpany, Limited, and the Bay Sulphite — Company, Limited, have under consideration extensive plans for developing their limits. These include the construction of a railway from Port Alfred to limits on the Peribonka. Mr. Hall Caine, M.P.., one of the directors of Becker & Company, Limited, London, Eng- land, is now in Canada with a view to securing the assistance ‘of the Federal and Provincial Governments in building the line, which would be 120 miles long. This line would open up the limits and ensure a supply of pulpwood to supplement that now available. The usual subsidy from the Provincial Government is pretty well assured. It is understood that the Chicoutimi Pulp Company contemplate the erection of a large newsprint mill, presumably contingent on being able to secure the larger supply of wood referred to. Mr. Hall Caine states that in view of the larger demand for pulp and newsprint in England and the United States, the outlook favours | a shortage in pulp, and the object of his visit js to make arrange-__ ments for a full supply. The newspapers in England are enlarging their editions and are going after increasing circulations. The news-— print mills there are booked up to the end of the year. Canadian pulp, he added, is now regarded with great favour there, the difficulty © being to obtain sufficient to meet the demand. Work Will Start Soon on New Mill Tenders for the construction of the buildings at Fort Alexan- — der for the Manitoba Pulp & Paper Co., Limited, will be called at — once, and actual construction of the plant will commence immediately — after, it was stated by B. W. Thompson, vice-president of the J. D. McArthur Co., Limited, Winnipeg. Mr. Thompson said the success — of Mr. McArthur in financing the scheme in the east would assure — the work being well underway this year. . The scheme is a $4,000,000 proposition and negotiations with” financial interests just completed were for the placing of $2,500,000. in bonds and $500,000.00 in preferred stock. Another $1,000,000.00 in preferred stock will be raised. Clearing the site of the new plant at Fort Alexander has been completed and 400,000 cubic feet of wood has been placed there and a sawmill to cut it up. A dock is being — constructed on Lake Winnipeg near Victoria Beach, and all materi- als for the plant will be hauled there by train and then taken up the river by barge to the site. % Prohibition of Pulpwood Export Comes Up . The question of stopping the export of pulpwood from private © jlands to the United States is evidently arousing much interest in ~ Government circles in Ottawa. The issue has become a live one and — more so particularly in view of the great damage to pulpwood forests _ this season by fires which have raged in various parts of Quebec and New Brunswick. ~Strong representations have been made to the Government by interests both in favor of and against the proposition. The exports of pulpwood from private lands are increasing, and — last year amounted to a million cords.- The census of industry show that during the last three years 3 2/3 million cords were exported. It is pointed out that the wages and salaries paid to convert pulpwood into pulp and paper averaged $14 per cord, and if the wood cut from private lands and exported to the United States during the past three years had been turned into the finished product at home, Canadian payrolls would have been increased by $51,000,000 and a great num- ber of men iste Hon, W. S. Fielding, Minister of Finance, has given notice at Ottawa of a resolution which declares that the Export Act shall be amended “by providing that the Governor-in-Council may by regu- J border. ee at ee 0 avi oe al Sees : wy, hats i at ; ae as 56 CANADA LUMBERMAN | a i. ae lation pt ‘ohibit the export of pulpwood from Canada of the variety, consumed by the flames still spreading i in every direction, oe reports kind, place of origin or having the particulars of ownership or pro- of fresh outbreaks were pouring in to the Department of Lands and Biceon prescribed in the regulation.’ Forests. Five thousand men, including fifteen hundred government Company Has Secured Large Contracts The Sir W. G. Armstrong Whitworth & Co., the well-known English company which recently gave its guarantee for the principal and interest of an issue of Charles Walmsley &1 Com of Canada, Limited, bonds amounting te $1,000,000, has issued its financial state- ment for the year 1922. An advance of £28,662 in the net profit is recorded, the amount available after chargmg £224,345 for deben- ture interent, being £467,550, against £438; 888 for 1921, when deben- ture interest absorbed £2,827 more at S207 172. With £832,091 brought forward the total availavle is £1,299,641. Two interim dividends, each of 6d per share, were paid during the year, leaving £771,516, which the directors propose to carry forward. The reserve fund stands at £1,400,000, and the shore premium and debenture redemption account at £328,307. The report states that since the issue of last year’s report the company has secured important contracts for ships and in the other branches of manufacture. While there is an improvement in the general trade of the company there is keen competition and prices are very low. How Pulpwood Supply is Diminishing Two large tracts of land have just been sold in Nova Scotia to American paper companies for shipment of the raw wood across the Mr. Frank J. D. Barnjum of ‘Montreal says that recently ~ some 100,000 acres of pulpwood in Nova Scotia were destroyed by 4 ae he forest fires so that everything apperas to be combining to get rid of the small supply of wood in Nova Scotia just as rapidly as possible The same thing applies to all Eastern Canada only to a much larger extent. Mr. Barnjum lately returned from Quebec and he states that as he went down the St. Lawrence by steamer, they kept meeting many vessels loaded with pulpwood on the way up the river to the United States. Looking off in the distance he could see the smoke of forest fires in several sections. The whole thing combined was, Mr. Barn- jum adds, to say the least very disconcerting and discouraging. Brompton Company Reports Good Outlook The Brompton Pulp & Paper Co., of East Angus, Que., say that the prospects for lumber sales and distribution are better than last season. The production in the Brompton district is about the same as it has been for several years. J. A. Bothwell, General Manager ot the Brompton company observes that their supply of logs is suffi- cient to keep them running at full capacity during the summer months. The company last year did not sell their lumber owing to the low quotations which then prevailed. They have now disposed of their entire stock on hand at prices very much in excess of what could have been secured a year ago. While stock the company are cutting at the present time is being held over for future use. Quebec Forest Fires Do Wide Damage The forest fires raged throughout the province of Quebec and were the cause of much concern to the Provincial Government. Premier L. A. Taschereau, who watched the situation carefully, issued a manifesto warning the new settlers to stop burning, their slash until abundant rains have put an end to the danger which menaced the destruction of the forest resources. In his manifesto he said the situation caused by the draught in the province was such that any small fire may bring on a conflagration. Already fires had ‘ravaged not only the forest but destroyed houses, and even menaced the fiy es of those fighting the flames. The Premier thought it his duty to warn settlers not to burn their slash until abundant rains would have put an end to the danger. He also requested all those who live near the forest, not to hesitate in lending their assistance to the Government forest rangers when fires break out as they cannot judge how far the flames will extend. It was important for all citi- zens of the province to realize the gravity of the situation, when already over 200,000 acres of forest had been destroyed this ‘spring, and, if the drought continued the loss would be considerably more. Therefore, he solicited the help of all citizens to fight the fires and “the settlers not to burn any slash for the present and to forego Restering the forests until absolutely necessary. The forest fires up to the time of writing were not confined to any special district. They were general in every section of the province, Already millions of dollars’ worth of timber have been he ¥ ~ » fire rangers were combating the blazes in all sections of the pro- vince. In the Abitibi district it had been found necessary to issue imperative orders to all settlers to cease burning slash in working their clearances. ¥ In the Temiskaming district several fires were reported and extending, especially on the Rouge River. In the St. Maurice basin a ‘big fire was reported at Lac Aux Sables, above the Gouin dam, making alarming progress, aided by strong ‘gales of wind. Fires were reported from almost every township in the Lake St. John district and along the mouth of the Saguenay River as well. In the Metapedia district no improvement was reported but on the contrary the situation was growing worse with the firefighters unable to check the spreading flames eating their way in every direction. . The provincial governments of the Canadian confederation have had severe lessons in forest destruction during the last several years which should teach the respective administratives of public forest - domain to organize a practical system of protection. “The limit holders of the province of Quebec are much exercised over the losses made by the ravages of fire annually, which they say threatens the entire wood resources of the Dominion, if something practicable is not done by the provincial governments for their preservation. , Lumbermen Criticize Provincial Government Quebec lumber operators interviewed, while not willing to express their opinions for publication, openly blame the government for the fires raging in every section of the province. They say that the limit holders contribute largely to protection against forest fires, not only in fire apparatus equipment but in fire ranger organiza- tion, only to have their efforts count for little or nothing on account of the government’s failure to prosecute the violators of the law, rules and regulations governing the protection of forest pro- perties. They claim that politics are allowed to interfere with the prosecution of offenders and cite a case of a man who had pleaded guilty to starting a forest fire, was let off with a fine of $25 and later, through political influence, received the appointment as fire ranger. Quebec lumber operators also complain that new settlers are permitted to burn their slash ad libitum, which is responsible for 95 per cent of the forest fires. They set fire to their slash in the work of clearing their lots, no matter how dry-the season, and the results from flying sparks to set fire to and burn up the surrounding forest, and the danger of developing into a conflagration, ‘These limit holders maintain that it is neither the hunters nor the fisher- men who are responsible for the fires but the new settlers who should be prohibited from burning their slash. If the latter do not obey the law imposed on them by the government, punish them accord- ingly, not by a small fine but by imprisonment, and if a few examples were made in this direction, it would have the effect of arresting forest fires and the wood inheritance of the Canadian public. x Permits are too Easily Obtained Referring to the permits given by the Department of Lands and Forests to people to enter the woods, the Quebec lumber opera- tors are of the unanimous opinion that the present method is by no means efficacious for the reason of the’ source of distribution. They claim that the duty of granting these permits should devolve altogether on the fire rangers of the different sections in which they have charge, and they should shoulder the full responsibility: © -The fire rangers should be placed in a position to know person- ally every man given a permit to enter the bush and his movements, in order that the ranger would be able to perform his duty properly. Up to the present time this is not the practice. of the nearest parish, the secretary of the municipal council and others domiciled in.the vicinity of the forest section, have the right to issue permits with the result that the fire ranger at times does not know who is in the forests, and when he meets people whom he believes to be trespassers, they exhibit their passports of which he has had no previous knowledge. The foregoing constitute some of the causes, the Quebec. lumber ‘ ze, operators declare, as being responsible for forest fires, and insist that the Government inaugurate a drastic code of laws and carry the same with a more perfect system for the protection of the forests against fire. They contend that until this is done, there will be forest fires which ultimately will wipe out the forest resources of the province, and with it the inheritance and rich assets oF ithe; Canadian people. | 2 Now dia VWihiteuse ines anal: meen $11.00 $12.00 a hea Neu seh ae Bescink elves” Raamams c.40 0 ak. fii GTOO ys | 70.00.51 ATG HOCUS TD oh eae Adour ose 1s &2s No.1 Com. dein Rin Shrots:....:0:- >. 36.00 38.00 Now SeAVHeEs eedersanin aeons 9.00 : he We Rid ies on alae a tenet e eee $145.00 $ 85.00 1 x 4 and up 6/16 No. 1 Mill Culls 36.00 38.00 Mind SRA CATER Ged loce EOD tn 4.50 5.00 S/ A atid GRA trim Anite cue 155.00 90.00 1 x 10 6/16 No. 1 Mill Culls .. 43.00 45.00 Nesta, “Smanwe Wavih 4 Onenio) BG Boe BAAS wy 3A ent Nel oan eae 170.00 95.00 1 x 12 6/16 No. 1 Mill Culls .. 43.00 ~— 45.00 ; g : ; } Plain White and Red Oak ie i x 4 and up 6/16 No. 2 Mill Culls 29.00 30.00 Le eG eee oe (Plain sawed.

Mgr. W, A. SAURWEIN, Ass't. Mgr. Lumber Trade Conditions (Continued from page 57) in trade while the forest fires up north have created a deal of anxiety and tended to upset an even tenor in manufacturing circles. There is one thing certain and that is, the cut in Ontario will not be as large this season as many anticipated. The mills got off to a _-late start owing to the long, cold spring, and water conditions were none too good on some of the drives. Then forest conflagrations and the scarcity of labor in some centres has tended to keep down _ production. Stocks in most mill yards are being moved out expedi- _ tiously, and during the coming month dry lumber will be available ‘so that the shortages in certain widths and thicknesses can be re- _ plenished. Southern pine has shown a firmer tone during the last few days and this has tended to stabilize conditions. While turnover in retail yards has been only fair due to the dealers’ expectations that they can get lower prices if they only wait, there is a continued good call for lumber for general building pur- poses, and with the excellent crops in prospect, farmers are taking heart and rural trade should pick up appreciably within the next few months. So far as hardwoods are concerned, most iiplesalers and mills have quite a number of orders ahead which they are busy filling. ‘The industrial demand is rather quiet but stocks are reported to be getting low and big consumers will have to enter the field before many weeks pass. _ While there are a few pessimists, so far as the general outlook is concerned, the rank and file of the trade are confident in spirit and believe that the present quietness is only temporary. It has checked th trend that was rapidly developing for a runaway market and called a halt in speculative buying. _ The lath market has weakened somewhat but prices on the whole are still satisfactory and there is a fair demand for the output _of the mills. Eastern representatives of B. C. mills report that the mixed carload trade is moderately active but the shingle market is away off at present and there is practically no fixed price for the product. Furniture manufacturers are quiet and other consumers of hard- wood are purchasing only limited quantities. Hardwood lumber dealers point out that the economic position of the industry does not warrant lower prices, and predict that when consumers decide to buy, as they expect that they will all about the same time, the market will quickly react towards higher levels. While there is no marked disposition to’: undertake huge build- ing projects,at the present time, especially those for which there i is no pressing need, there continues to be much interest in home-building and prospects are that such will continue in volume throughout the summer and fall months. Not a few stores are also being erected on the ‘business streets in the larger centres. Hardwood flooring plants are busy and report an active demand for their product owing to the construction of so many dwellings and shops. St. John Lumber Prices are Holding There is not much change in the local market conditions and although the demand is light at the present time prices still hold. _ Sizes 2 x 10 and 3 x 9 have been bringing $40 in. some instances to local wholesalers, while refuse boards and deals are going at a top price of $22. While the demand for laths is off, the price still holds, Pro- ducers receiving $6.50 to $7.00 according to the size. The shingle demand is strong and the mills are busy peplentgiae their depleted supply. The only change noted in the price is for spruce shingles which are now being offered for $3.25 itistead of $3.50. Cedar extras and cedar clears are still being sold for $6.25 and $5.25, while cedar 2nd. clears are selling for $425. ) a SRG Although the American market at the present time is ‘quiet the _ English market is becoming stronger and as a result the situation is 9 considered by no means out of the ordinary. Another feature of the _ British trade is that there is an apparent tendency for fréights to _ decrease. This will mean a boost for the trade as the manufactured _ product will be landed at a more favorable figure and should prove a boon to conditions in general. ‘There has been a fairly good business for some local manufac- turers through the State of Maine. The sizes in demand are 4 x 6, eG and 4x 8. _. Private operators received good prices for their logs this year. mt cut during the spring of 1922 was fairly large, but the demand that time was away below what had been expected and as a result the prices for logs were particularly low. This season, however, the lumber business was brighter and the prices in many instances a Were more than double orirat © were paid last season. ag Bee uot for a pe season were contained in a letter receiv ed ie ee CANADA LUMBERMAN ag explained that the recent boom had left many with quantities of lumber on their hands, which they had the choice of selling at sacri- fice prices or storing in the hope for better opportunities in the future. According to the information given, the prices for soft woods had fallen off and was especially noticeable in the matter of laths. The writer also called attention to the fact that there was a shortage of eastern spruce lumber in New York. While this letter had a trend towards pessimism this view is not held by local manufacturers and shippers as the opinion is gen- erally expressed that the present lull will not be of long duration. Even if the market is dull at the present time it will have no direct effect of curtailment in the manufacture of lumber here. Trade Has Slackened up in Ottawa Arena Trading in the Ottawa lumber market during the closing period of June was slightly slower than during the opening part of the month and was not as good as during the month of May. Export business with the United States showed a falling off, and the num- ber of orders and inquiries received from this direction was not as large as in the preceding months. The domestic trade while it remained fairly steady was not as great as had been anticipated. Though hundreds of building permits have ‘been issued so far this year, many of the proposed new under- takings are not being proceeded with. The high cost of labor, is generally given as one of the greatest factors in holding back the undertaking of several new building projects. The Provincial election campaign and the hot weather also had their effects on the market, with the result that in several firms the same interest in the market was not shown, as had been exhibited earlier in the year. Shipments on old orders continued to go forward steadily by rail and water.. The spaces vacated by the dry stocks were usually quickly filled with new stock, showing that the manufacturers were attempting to equal, if they did not surpass last year’s cut. General conditions in regard to labor, transportation, and the drive, did not show any change. Conditions with the w oodworking plants and factories also remained unchanged. A new lumber company to be known as the D. Kemp Edwards Limited, which is backed by local capital, and which’ has several Ottawans as provisional directors, has ‘been formed. The Ontario Official Gazette which announces the incorporation of the new com- pany, places the capitalization at $150,000. The provisional directors are: David Kemp Edwards, Mamnett Phiney Hill, Alexander Christie Hill, Hugh Redford, Dale Harris, Sylwell Alevander and Valpy Martin. The new company has taken over part of the plant and property of the estate of George M. Mason, including the planing mill which is situated on Bayswater Ave. The purchase of this property was contained in the list of May property transfers. How Situation Across Border is Shaping The present hesitancy on the part of buyers and distributors of lumber is entirely due ‘to psychological conditions induced by the propaganda to discontinue’ building and not to fundamental ones. This hesitancy has resulted in some recessions in prices. Ftinda- mental conditions within the industry are unchanged. Depletion continues. Building permits for this year to date show a substantial increase over last year. Permits are rarely issued until after con- tracts have been awarded, and there have been few reports of such contracts being cancelled, says Chas. S. Keith, of Kansas City, Mo. The building permits for the month of May show substantial ~ increases over May of last year, both in buildings and in dollars, the figures being Month _ Buildings Estimated Cost LEN Sd S75 Re ee 00 I ae $267 355,888.00 VR OZ 2 ped cise duce sis Paes Fe a eet 241 307,622.00 The permits for the first five months of this year compared with those of the first five months of 1922, and also with the total for 1920, were: Period Buildings Estimated Cost Fiv Se MimintttemhI25-)'.). .

The program of building started this year would have required at least 1,250,000 more men in the building trades than are engaged therein. This situation has resulted in enhancing the cost of labor, reducing the efficiency of labor, and increasing the cost of construction. It is probable that we will not continue throughout the balance of the year with the ratio of building per- mits we have had during the first five months, but even in face of this fact, the total amount of building this year will at least equal 1922, if not exceed it. 62 CANADA LUMBERMAN Don’t pay fancy prices for your provisions ‘‘Good goods and fair prices’’ is the principal upon which Eckardt service has always based its appeal to the lumber trade.

Business throughout that section has been very good and a great deal of building is going on. The plant of the Cleveland-Sarnia Sawmills Co., Limited, at Sar- ‘nia, is operating to capacity. W. A. Saurwein, assistant manager of the company, in a recent interview with the “Canada Lumber- man,” said that the company felt optimistic about all forest pro- ducts, and do not look for any great change in the near future, as Ont. W. A. Saurwein, Sarnia, a far as white pine, which is their principal product, is concerned. Mr. Saurwein added that there seemed to be a lively requisition for the better class of white pine in the United States and a large pro- portion of the firm’s shipments of this quality goes to that market. me The Cleveland-Sarnia Sawmills Co. have been shipping some of this year’s cut in the better grades and the dealers have been taking it and sticking it up in their own yards to dry rather than take a chance on the company not having lumber when the retailers require it. iH)! LS eS - British Columbia Export Trade Keeps Up The British Columbia lumber market has not quieted, with the exception of one week in May, for more than a year. When New : York builders decided to follow the dictates of their financial heads | and curtail construction programmes because labor costs were too high, there was a short reaction in the West, more for fear of what might happen than from what actually happened. ay i i af ie _ There were some cancellations, but almost as soon as the New York and Atlantic seaboard went off the market, Japan arrived. , The cutting is not in the same class, but the prices are good and the lumbermen, while anticipating an accumulation of side lumber, until building activities are resumed in the east and in mid-continent markets are delighted with the prospects of doing foreign business again. Nearly 4,000,000 feet of Jap squares were placed in the market recently, and as the steamship companies refuse to accept shipments of large squares without a certain percentage of baby squares for 7 stowage, the mill have been forced to accept cutting in the smaller | fractional grades and classes, while buyers and shipping men are delighted. r. Hemlock log companies are also pleased with the new conditions ; as there is a good demand for hemlock baby squares. Hemlock logs P are lower in prices than fir and the mills find this profitable cutting q when fitted in with big squares. Mills in British Columbia have been fortunate recently as they received from $2 to $3 more than the is _American mills for the same class of cutting for Japan. Fires Deal Heavy Blow to N.B. Forests Po & During the last two weeks the forest wealth of New Brunswick has been struct a death blow. The fire fiend is at large and millions of dollars worth of the finest timber lands’ have ‘been laid waste and the end is not in sight. Such is the situation at the time of writing. Since the last edition of the Canada Lumberman over 250 square miles of timberlands were burned over in the northern section of the CANADA LUMBERMAN 63 province and the conflagration reached proportions beyond any simi- liar disaster in the history of this province since the great Miramichi fire of 1825. Fanned by continuous strong winds the flames swept through the wooded areas in defiance of all human efforts and the wooded wealth soon disappeared and in place of the stalwart spruce, cedar, birch and hemlock, all that remained was the charred stumps and smouldering ruins. The richest forest areas in New Brunswick fell a prey to the flames and aside from the monetary loss estimated at $5,000,000 the province has been struck a blow, which will take years to recover. When the month of May passed Without any fire of serious pro- portion the officials of the Department of Lands and Mines felt grati- fied that their efforts to prevent forest fires were bearing fruit and that the additional expense incurred with regards to the enforcement of the act and for pigeon measures had been well worth while. But like a bolt from the sky came the end of their dreams. Reports of serious conflagrations ravaging forest areas began to pour in and in a couple of days the fires had assumed proportions which defied every human effort. Everything that man could do to save the great timber proved unavailing and in the end the noble bands of fighters had to step back and wait for providence to take a hand. Unable to do anything to stop the “destructive demon” efforts were concen- trated upon putting down the smaller fires and fighting the larger ones from the flanks. The fires covered an appalling area. In Restigouche County, at St. Quentin, Kedgewick, Northwest Upsalquitch, down the Little Tobique to the Victoria County line, at Silverbrook west of Nepisi- guit River, White’s brook at Balmoral, Bald Mountail, along the — Jardine and Five Fingers streams across the west branch of the Salmon river to the Tobique river. In addition there have been the losses in the destruction of mills, houses, barns and various other buildings as well as several highway bridges and crops in many settlements. It will take some time after the fires have either burned them- selves out or have been extinguished by rain before the truth of the appalling loss can be ascertained. In the meantime the one hope is for rain. Reports from all over the country are alarming and the ~ intervention of providence is eagerly awaited not only by those, who are directly suffering from the fires, but by citizens in every walk of life who realize what the loss means to the province. On June 18 Hon. C. W. Robinson, Minister of Lands and Mines, ordered the cancellation of all forest travel certificates in Restigouche, Madawaska, Gloucester, Northumberland, Kent, York, ‘Carlton and Victoria counties and issued instructions to fire wardens for the instant arrest of any violators of the regulations. Plans for re-seeding the burned area owned by the New Bruns- © wick Railway Company and keeping their lands in torests under a | perpetual arrangement, are being made. The company owns 1,600,- 000 acres of forest lands in New Brunswick and has suffered severe losses during the last two weeks. A decision not to turn the burnt area of the company over for agricultural purposes was reached at a recent meeting. One of the worst features of the present situation is that some of the fires evidently had been deliberately set. Others show that farmers burning slash. caused a great portion of the damage and when conditions resume a somewhat normal aspect these men will be ferreted out and an effort made to punish them as they so justly deserve. At St. Quintin before a local magistrate one resident was sent to jail for two month having been found guilty with setting a fire in violation to the law. Numerous informations have been laid in other sections of the province and prosecutions will follow as soon — as the fire situation will permit, Late reports from some sections indicate that some headway was | being made in the big fight, but on the whole the situation would remain serious until heavy rains would fall as the fire has burnt so deep that human efforts avail little. Chief Forester G. H. Prince, has received word that along Silver Brook, a tributary on the south side of the Nepisiguit River, four miles had been burned over, put was being brought under control. On the north side of the Nepisi- euit the fire was advancing rapidly and large crews of men were being rushed there. Damage estimated at $18,000 resulted from a fire which broke out in Willow Grove, St. John County recently. Sawn lumber, the property of McIntyre & Johnson and consisting of 400,000 feet of boards, and 250,000 lath also was destroyed. ‘This fire was extin-_ guished. One prominent lumberman said that conditions in the woods of many*sections of the province are in a complex state. He explained that in the shaded recesses of the forest snow-banks and icy glades still dampened and chilled the air, while right nearby the floor of the woods were veritable chaff and tinder an easy prey to the slightest ignition.

Large Contract for Creosoting Ties The Temiskaming & Northern Ontario Railway has entered into a contract whereby an English firm, Calder & Company, of London, England, is awarded the contract for creosoting ties for the govern- ment railway. Chairman Lee of the T. & N. O. announced that the Ontario commission had entered into a joint. arrangement with the Canadian National Railways in making a contract with the English firm. The T. & N. O. will require 200,000 ties creosoted a year. The English concern is establishing a big creosoting plant at Cochrane and at other railway points in Ontario to do the work. Mr. Lee says that by July, 1925 the T. & N. O. Railway will be to James Bay. There are 45 miles completed north of Cochrane, and by the fall 70 miles north of that town will be finished. The new line will tap a country that is rich in pulpwood and will open up new areas of supply. It is also expected that several pulp and paper mills will be established along the new route. » Mr. Patmore Active in Masonic Work \ D. C. Patmore, chief engineer of the E. Long Mfg. Co., Lim- ited, manufacturers of sawmill machinery, Orillia, Ont., took a pro- minent part recently in a representative gathering of Royal Arch Masons, at Meaford, where a chapter of instruction was conducted and grand lodge officers greeted. Among those in attendance were R. H. Spencer, of Trenton, Grand Z. The gathering was under the direction of D. C. Patmore, of Orillia, who is Grand Superintendent, Royal Arch Masons, for Georgian Bay district. He was assisted by several Past Grand Superintendents. Mr. Patmore stated that the large influx of mem- _ bers in the Georgian Bay district was giving those in authority some _ concern, and the gathering was part of a programme adopted by which it is hoped that sufficient individual attention will be given _ each new member to ensure that the ancient high traditions of the craft may be maintained. The assembly at Meaford was one of the most outstanding capi- tular events in the Masonic history of the district. Chief Forester Speaks on Quebec Fires G. C. Piche, superintendent of the Forestry Branch of the Que- bec Department of Lands and Forests, feels pessimistic over the forest fires faging in the entire forest regions of the province. In an _ interview he said he anticipated this season would be fraught with _ fire menace unless the greatest precaution was taken by co-opera- tion on the part of the settlers, fishermen and other woods visitors, causing terrible loss. Compared with last year and the reports of railroad officials, the conditions are very serious though the danger started late in the season and instructions issued to all employers to co-operate with the forest rangers by every possible means, with the result that all railroads are patrolled and instructions given passenger train conductors to guard against passengers throwing lighted cigarette and cigar butts from the trains. “The fires in the various sections of the province are becoming dangerous, according to the latest reports,” said Mr. Piche, “and the _ government is considering the closing of all forests to everybody except the fire-fighting forces, until such time as the fires have all been extinguished.” Rains Worth Millions to Timber Industry Recent rains which have been general throughout the province have been worth millions of dollars to British Columbia’s timber industries, Chie# Forester P. Z. Caverhill stated recently. _ During the first part of May the fact that forest fires exceeded in number the fires reported during the corresponding period of the previous year gave rise to considerable worry on the part of forest officials. They began to wonder whether the 1923 fire record would exceed that of last year when all records for losses were exceeded and the cost of timber burnt and other destruction was placed at $23,000,000. “It looks now as though we will have a normal year so far as fires are concerned,” Mr. Caverhill said. “The situation throughout the province is satisfactory.” eT ae ee oe ee ee es te ea he Lumbermen Estimate Loss at Four Millions . -Lumbermen place the monetary loss suffered so far in the destruction by forest fires which have burned over more than 250 square miles in New Brunswick during the last two weeks, at not | less than $4,000,000. kas bet ssa) lan | i These figures were reached by a valuation basis on an average of twenty-five dollars to the acre on apptéximately 169,000 acres. % In addition there have been the losses in destruction of mills, ‘ houses, barns and various other buildings, as well as several high- __way bridges and crops in some settlements. yi x Bema Shor hor CANADA LUMBERMAN ty, => ~oares s iat) or Northern Ontario Towns Want Fire Belts The attention of the Ontario Government is to be drawn to the great danger to the towns of Northern Ontario from fires, according to the terms of a resolution prepared at the regular meeting of Timis- kaming and Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade. : The resolution states that while the Boards recognize that the Government officials have done a great deal to reduce fire hazard, and had to discontinue the work for lack of funds, it is urged that the task of removing the fire menace from towns of the North, “rather than create a fire fund to relieve misery and destitution after some of these towns are wiped out,” should be resumed. Miner Lumber Company’s Mill Sold On June 20, U. H. Dandurand, Ltd., Montreal, soid by auction the sawmill and timber limits of the Miner Lumber Co. Ltd., of Montreal. The property was knocked down to B. Quinn & Co., of Windsor Mills, Que. The limits consist of 15 miles of leasehold lands and about three miles of freehold lands, situated near Rawdon, Montcalm County, P.Q. The limits have only been worked one — year. The sawmill is on the Lac Oureau River, Rawdon village. — This mill-is practically a new structure, and replaced one that was burned down; it is equipped to saw lumber, manufacture spoolwood, — and ross pulpwood. The site consists of five acres, and in addition to the mill proper, office buildings, barn, blacksmith shop, oil house, concrete boiler house, and engine and pump house are located on the property. Mr. McFadden Secures More Limits J. J. McFadden, Limited, of Spragge, Ont., were the successful bidders for a timber berth of 36 square miles in the Mississauga — forest reserve. The limit is known as Berth 1E, and, while not a ~ large one, is one of the largest which the Department of Lands and Forests has disposed of for some time. J. J. McFadden, deposited a | marked cheque of $25,000 along with their bid and must remove the — timber from their new holdings by April 30, 1929. 3 The prices which the company have agreed to pay are: Red and — white pine, $8.50 per thousand feet; jack pine, $4.50 per thousand ~ feet; other timber, $3,50 per thousand feet; cedar posts, 7 cents each; ties, 20 cents each; spruce pulp, $1.55 per cord; other pulp, 90 cents — per cord; cedar poles 30 feet and less, 50 cents; cedar poles, 31 to 40 feet, $1.00; cedar poles, 41 to 50 feet, $1.50; cedar poles, over 50 feet, $2.00. Crown dues at the usual rates are, in each case, included. a - Octogenarian Runs His Own Sawmill a De Charles Taylor, of Bronte, Ont., is still active in the lumber game although he has attained the advanced age of 80 years. Many © visitors who travel over the Toronto-Hamilton highway, have noticed — a weather beaten sawmill which has been a landmark in that section — for years. Mr. Taylor has owned the property for over 30 years and the mill itself was built 50 years ago by Wm. McCraney who was a former Member of Parliament for the County of Halton. At one, time the plant turned out about 10,000 feet of lumber a day but now production is much smaller owing to the logs being of much smaller — diameter. ‘The mill for a long period supplied a great deal of the material used in boat building in the district. Mr. Taylor is also a skilled wood carver, and a carving by him of the Lord’s Prayer evidences very artistic handicraft. et New Handbook on Kiln Drying Preventable losses in seasoning lumber total around $50,000,000 every year, according to the Forest Service, United States Depart- — ment of Agriculture, which announces a new handbook on kiln drying ~ prepared by Rolf Thelen of the Forest Products Laboratory at Madi- — son, Wis. Fundamental facts about the drying of wood which a kiln owner or operator must know in order to get the most satisfactory results with his kilns are presented in the booklet, together with information concerning different types of kilns, instruments, and apparatus em- ployed in kiln drying. The handbook contains 24 illustrations and a series of draw- ings showing types of kilns. The information presented is based on experiménts conducted at the Forest Products Laboratory.

Lamont Bros. are building a new sawmill at Harrison Lake, B. C., where they already operate a shingle mill. ° The Kootenay Lumber Co., are now sawing at Wasa, B. C. Their mill is one of the best equipped in the section and is running to capacity. After having moved their complete plant and equipment to Prince George, B. C., from Cranbrook, the Crangrook Sawmills, Ltd., operating a new mill at Otway, commenced cutting recently for the market. The Cannes Sawdust Co., Des Erables St., Montreal, recently suffered a $15,000 fire loss to its plant building. The loss was partly covered by insurance. The firm is undecided about rebuilding. The sawmill of Arthur Lessard, Ste. Ursule, P. O., was destroyed by fire recently entailing a total loss to buildings and contents of $15,000 . The owner expects to rebuild this summer. Fire recently destroyed the sawmill of the Fraser Lumber Co., Eastcourt, P. Q, The loss is estimated at $12,000. The owners expect to rebuild. Two sawmills belonging to the Sully Lumber Co., Sully, P. O., were destroyed by fire recently entailing a loss of $8,000. The com- cany expect to rebuild. _Fire destroyed the sash and door factory of C. Thibault at St. Simon, P. Q., recently. The loss is estimated at $5,000. The owner will probably rebuild. Premier Paper & Pulp Co., 91 Hollis St., Halifax, N. S., are pre- paring plans for the erection of a $2,000,000 paper mill at Harts- ville, N.S. Work will probably start this summer. Monks & Company, Limited, Montreal, have been granted a federal charter to manufacture and deal in lumber, pulpwood and paper. ‘Capital $25,000. Owing to the heavy, growing demand for semanas the Belgo Canadian Paper Company is increasing its capacity from 90,000 tons per annum to 115,000 tons per annum. This company has been in. continuous successful operation for twenty years. The Western Quebec Paper Mill, Limited, 511 St. Catherine St. W., Montreal, have awarded a contract for the construction of a tissue mill at St. Andrews, P. Q. The new mill will have a capa- city of five tons per day. Messrs. Skates, Woodworth and Buell, of the Woodstock Lum- ber '‘Co., Boston, Mass., spent a few days recently in Chatham, N. B., inspecting stocks of lumber. The J. B, Snowball Co., is milling a large quantity of lumber which the Woodstock Lumber Co. recently purchased. An aggregate of American capital represented by W. H. Elfed- dahl, William Edris, ‘C. P. Nutler and H. G. Seaborne of Seattle, is negotiating for the purchase of the largest single block of timber left in the Cowichan Lake Belt, which is the heaviest forested timber belt on the Pacific Coast. This is Block 75, situated on the Gordon river. It is now held by the British-American Timber Co. Prosperity in the lumber industry of British Columbia will prob- ably last for a long time, T. J. Humbird, president of the Victoria Lumber & Manufacturing compony and executive of the Weyer- — hauser company, stated recently in Victoria. During the next few years he predicted Vancouver Island timber resources will be developed to an extent never approachd before. The Royal Oak Lumber Co., Royal Oak, Burnaby, B. on has changed hands. The new proprietors are Charles Garrett and Robert McDonald. ‘Mr. Garrett has been in the retail business since 1912 and has enjoyed an extensive patronage in the municipality of Bur- naby. Mr. McDonald was in charge of operations at the Garrett shingle mill in South Westminster, which was recently burned. A contract has been awarded to start work on the concrete dam and paper mill at Brook Junction, Newfoundland. The William I. Bishop ‘Co., Limited, 10 Cathcart St., Montreal, are the general contractors and the organization behind the large pulp and paper enterprise is the Armstrong-Whitworth Co., Limited, whose Cana- dian headquarters are at 511 St. Catherine St. West, Montreal. The dam will be 1,080 feet long and 75 feet high. The Strathcona Paper Co., Limited, of Strathcona, Ont., say that the demand for sheathing and building paper at the present time is good in view of the active construction work in the larger — ee ae es) ‘centres of population, The company are running both its machines full time and intend to install another boiler in the near future so that they will have more steam capacity and be able to increase their output. They will also erect a good-sized stock room for their raw material. The sawmill and lumber stock of the Lake Lumber Co., at Qualicum Beach, Vancouver, Island, was recently destroyed by fire. The loss was /$50,000. This company formerly operated in the ‘Fraser Valley, having at one time a mill at the Salmon River and another at Beaver river. In 1918 the Qualicum Beach mill was built. H. G. Johnston is manager, and his partner was Stanley John- ston, who was killed when the mill was being built. Fire recently visited a pulpwood pile of the Bay Sulphite Co., at Port Alfred, Que., and while for a time the flames were serious, still by good work on the part of the fire fighters, the blaze was wiped out after destroying 12,000 cords of last year’s pulpwood. The loss is fully covered by insurance. The operations of the mill will not be interfered with as the company have an ample supply of logs in the river and bay to meet all requirements. The financial year of several paper companies closes on June 30th and it is expected that the showing will be an exceptionally strong one. The mills have been getting a greater price for their prodzct during the past six months than they did during the first six months of 1922. The demand has been steady and pulpwood secured at a considerably less figure. Conditions on the whole are very favorable for the future. The directors of the St. Maurice Paper Co. at a meeting held recently in Montreal, placed the stock on a 6 per cent basis by declaring 1% per cent for the forthcoming quarterly distribution. The rate for some time back has been 5 per cent. The point of chief interest in connection with this change is the bearing it may have, if any, on the negotiations which have been in progress between that company and Laurentide looking to a union of their interests. Forest fires have wrought great havoc in the province of Que- bec and the losses: sustained are very heavy. G. C. Piche, chief forester for the province, says that an area of 400,000 acres has been visited by the flames and the damage has reached several million dollars. In some regions the situation is simply terrible for settlers. 125 farms were burned, 15 sawmills, 20 large summer camps, 4 railway stations and 2 log haulers. Several small villages in Temis- couata were left a mass of ruins and several parishes also suffered severe loss. There is a report again connecting the name of Mr. G. M. McKee formerly general manager Donnacona Paper Co. Donnacona, Que., with the Riordon Company. It is-»understood that the bond- holders in Boston, who have a very strong influence by reason of ° their large interests, are urging that Mr. McKee be induced to join the Riordon Company as general manager and that a newsprint mill be included in the reorganization plan. Mr. McKee was previously asked to take a hand in Riordon affairs but declined on the ground that the general position had not been defined. A _ reorganization would place matters on a different basis. |The company this year are manufacturing a very large cut of lumber. William Hanna passed away recently from a stroke of paralysis at his home in New Westminster. He was well-known in lumber circles in British Columbia and was for many years superintendent of the Brunette Sawmill camps. For a considerable period, he had been operating a camp of his own at Harrison Lake. Mr. Hanna, who was born in Haldimand County, Ont., was 53 years of age and had been residing in New Westminster for 35 years. One daughter and two sons survive. ‘Six separate groups of financiers are negotiating with the British Columbia Provincial Government for the establishment of pulp and paper mills in that province, according to an announcement recently made by Hon. T. D. Pattullo, Minister of Lands for British Columbia. “It takes about $10,000,000 to get one of these concerns going and the details take time to arrange, but | am confident that two or _ three of them will be under way in a short time now,” he said. “One of them is the Chicago and San Francisco group with which the Bridge River Power Company has been negotiating,’ and the gov- ernment is doing everything possible to assist. The Abitibi. Power & Paper Co. are erecting a large extension to their wood room at Iroquois Falls, Ont. The addition is being built of concrete and steel and will be two storeys high. On the top floor are the knifle barkers, chippers, splitter and four-foot slasher. Below are the chip screens and the bark presses. In the old room will be installed eight drum-barkers, four of them additional equip- ment. These will give ample barking capacity even when all dry wood is ‘being handled. There are two water tanks. Frozen wood goes first into a tank of warm water, about 160 degrees before it goes to the drums. After leaving the drums it goes into another tank in € lower floor.

Is Canada’s solution of the fuel problem to be made right at home? Have long years been spent in a fruitless effort to market profitably sawdust, and a great opportunity been neglected or overlooked for several decades? It would seem so, as the House of Commons Committee on Mines and Minerals, when meeting at Ottawa recently, heard of a process of employing sawmill waste which bids fair to solve the fuel question. The proposition, together with samples of the product and an engineer’s affidavit that the resulting fuel was better than soft. coal and as good as anthracite in steam tests, came from Richard Grant, a former Canadian, now living in Havana, Cuba, who wrote Hon. Arthur Meighen. The samples of fuel submitted were examined by the committee, whose members professed deep interest in the process and visualization of sawdust piles, which have long proved a source of annoyance, vexation and expense to lumber operators, being con- verted into “dusky diamonds.” The committee will have the fuel tested by experts in the ser= vice of the Federal Government and will follow up the process to see i it is commercially feasible. Summer Logging in New Brunswick If conditions return to normal logging operations are to be carried on during the summer months in several parts of this pro- vince, although in the past it has been customary to cut the logs During the season recently to curtail the cut and many operators found themselves without sufficient logs to keep’ their mills running during the summer. In order to supply their wants it was decided to send logging crews into the woods. It is contended that with modern appliances now available logs can be handled better in the summer than in the win- ter in many sections: The trees can be cut close down to the roots as there is no snow to handicap operations. More Timber Limits Sold By Auction An auction sale was held recently by U. H. Dandurand, at his auction rooms, 101 Notre Dame Street west, Montreal, of 18 square miles of timber limits-at Rawdon, Que., placed on sale by the W. H. Miner Lumber Company. There was a large attendance of lumber men, and for a time the bidding was spirited, although no one seemed anxious to run the price up. Eventually the limits were secured by R. Quinn and Company, Registered, of Windsor, Que., for $15,150. which was considered a fairly low price for so extensive a property. New Bulletin of Much Interest The Canadian Ingersoll-Rand Co., Limited, Montreal, Que., have just issued a new descriptive bulletin covering their Cameron double suction, volute centrifugal pumps.

The financial year of the Laurentide Company, of Grand Mere, Que., which ends on June 30th, will show a considerable — advance in the gross and net earnings of the company as compared with last year. The company has had the advantage of their wood supplies taken in at a much lower figure than in the previous year. In addition, there was an increase in the selling price of newsprint for half of 1923, and further an increase in production. J Price Bros, & Co., Quebec, Que., say they are operating five _ fi; arr Wi a Pia OE Sa ie Ui a a Sa ——— 3 shingles. iS ss ; ‘lumber mills at full capacity during the present season and expect to produce about 65,000,000 feet off sawn lumber besides lath and Market conditions have heen good although prices are not as high as they might be. The company have disposed of their entire production for the coming season. T hey report that labor is plenti- ful and wages normal. In 1920 there were cut; in* Canadian” forests, 4,024,826 cords of pulpwood. This wood, if piled four feet high and four feet wide, would reach in a continuous line over 6,000 miles, or the distance from Vancouver to Halifax and out over the Atlantic to Queenstown, Ireland. Timber interests have been petitioning for better booming facili- _ ties for many years at Squamish, B. C., and the Provincial Govern- ment will establish permanent booming grounds there, according to an annotincement made by Premier Oliver, calling a meeting of the _ directors of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway. Engineers will pre- pare plans and it is expected that lumbermen will have ample boom- ing facilities at Squamish in the near future. Longfield Bros., Mount Brydges, Ont., recently completed a very handsome home for a leading resident. The firm, who advertise that they are specialists in house furnishings and built-in furniture made the plans, furnished and completed the material in the wood- working line and also made the interior trim, stairs, French doors, cabinets, sash and frames of this desirable dwelling. The interior trim is of chestnut, birch panels and quarter cut oak floors. The lumber situation on the Pacific Coast remains about the same, with many orders on the books for export business. Build- ing in the city of Vancouver is rushed forward and, generally speak- ing, the South Western part of British Calumbia is in a sound and healthy condition. The Atlantic Seaboard business has undoubtedly come to stay, and the manufacturers are feeling for the first time in many years that their market for commons will be fairly regular and consistent. As stated in our last issue, the Western lumbermen are strongly opposed to the new sales tax. The B.:‘C. Wholesalers’, Lumber and Shingle Association has further defined its position, which is that the tax to remain as it is or in the alternative six per cent to be paid by the mill and not to be shown on the mill invoices, but if so shown, that wholesalers be compelled to also show the 6 per cent on their invoices and be definitely authorized by the Act to collect the same. E. J. Zavitz, provincial forester, stated recently that he was try- ing to arrange a survey by areoplones of the area around Timmins, Ont., in which a number of small fires were reported. He believed that the district south and west of Timmins, which had ‘been well cleared of lumber, might be considered safe, and Timmins itself seemed reasonably well protected. Mr. Zavitz admitted that if a strong wind developed it would be hard to say what might happen south. If Canada cuts off the exportation to United States of pulpwood, Congress will be asked by the American Pulp and Paper Mill Super- intendents’ Association to retaliate by placing export duties on coal and other commodities obtained by Canada from the United States, according to resolutions adopted in the closing session of the inter- national convention of the association held recently at Springfield, Mass. William A. Anderson, of St. Catharines, Ont., was elected a vice-president. The industrial department of the C.P.R., with which the Board of Trade of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., has been in correspondence from time to time, has advised the board that a lumbering concern in the Southern States desired to locate somewhere in Canada, and G. W. Curtis, industrial commissioner of the C.P.R., has advised them to come somewhere along the Soo branch. Secretary Wolfe has writ- ten the concern, pointing out the advantages of establishing here. The company figures on employing 150 men and cutting thirty thou- - sand feet of logs per day. Some interesting rumors are afloat in regard to the reorganiza- tion-of the Riordon Company. Preliminary difficulties have been surmounted and good progress made. Nothing has been made pub- lic yet in reference to the plans of the Canadian interests who are attempting the reorganization. It has been necessary to get assur- ance of a good deal of financial support before any public offerings could be made of the new securities that are to be issued or even an offering of those made to the shareholders. It is understood that it has to some extent been a fight to keep control of the Riordon interests in Canada. It is stated that Sir William Price, head of Price Bros. Co., of Quebec, may become a director of the Riordon Company. To what extent Price Bros. Company’s interests will enter into the combination, however, can not be ascertained, but reports of all kinds are heard. Another rumor is that Lord Rother- mere, brother of the late Lord Northcliffe, London, England may _ also become an important factor in the reorganization of the Riordon Company. CANADA LUMBERMAN 71 POWER! The “Caterpillar’* Logger has no equal for power, sure traction, rugged en- durance, and low cost of operation. Its design and construction are the result of Holt’s long experience and exact knowledge of all the different conditions and requirements encountered in hauling logs and pulpwood over snow and ice roads, and all other conditions in Northern lumbering. The “Caterpillar’s” record for actual accomplishment is of vital interest to every Northern lumber and pulpwood manufacturer. On the operations of The Abitibi Power & Paper Company, The Mount Murray Woodlands Cor- poration, The Anglo-Newfoundland Development Company, The Great Nor- thern Paper Company, and many others, the “Caterpillar’ Logger has proved its ability to continuously haul heavier "loads and at lower cost than can be . hauled by any other machine or method. The Anglo-Newfoundland Development Company, Grand Falls, Newfoundland, say— “Your Mr. Davis is about to return after being with us during the winter months in charge of our 2 ‘Caterpillar’ Tractors, and I am unable to let him go without a few lines thanking you for sending a type of man such as Mr. Davis. “No doubt he has reported to you the very successful tractor operations just finished in which we hauled 11,000 cords with our 2 “Caterpillars”, and with only a 3%4 hour holdup for any trouble from December 19, 1922, to April 14, 1923. Our tractors averaged 15 hours per day, and we only lost 1 day, Sundays included, be- cause of bad weather. “On one trip over a snow and plowed road,* the “Caterpillar” Logger hauled 9 sets of sleds containing 57 cords and 1 cord horns. The “Caterpillar ” pulled the load over 4 miles without any help, took all the curves, and tracked very well, time 2.15 hours, and kept back all loads going down grade. Total weight 130 tons in- cluding sleds.” The latest “Caterpillar” Logger contains new features of strength and dperat- ing convenience, making it farther in the lead than ever before. Our unequaled service facilities are at the instant command of every Canadian owner. In- vestigate the “Caterpillar” Logger now and plan for your 1923-1924 operations. “There is but one ‘‘Caterpillar’’—Holt builds it CANADIAN HOLT COMPANY, Limited 1109 St. Catherine St., W.

Urgent Precautions Against Fire Officials of the Forest Service Branch of the Department of Lands and Mines of New Bruns- wick are urging that every pre- caution ‘be observed to prevent a forest conflagration similar to that of the Miramichi Fire. A carelessly thrown match, cigaret or cigar butt, or live ashes from a pipe may become the cause ot a blaze which will sweep the pro- vince in its present critical state of drought. Recent fires origi- nating in York County have shown the rapidity with which a blaze will spread, contrary to the general impression that cen- tral and southern New Bruns- wick has been exempted from the same conditions of dryness pre- vailing in the locality of the most serious fires in the northern por- tion of the province. At Macta- quack, fire fighters summoned to extinguish a blaze which spread over a mile in an hour, discovered a bait can full of live worms and two fishing rods which had been abandoned in haste. It is believ- ed that this fire spread so rapidly from careless smoking that the parties responsible were unable to retrieve their fishing tackle. The Nation’s Timber Lands An indication of the situation that will be faced by Canada in a very short time, if the destruc- tion of forests by fire continues in such widespread fashion as during the past few years, is seen in a report by Dr. Richard T. Ely, professor of the Univer- sity of Winconsin, on the “For- est Crisis’ in the United States. Apply Keenan | Pj ai i) © - ducted. CANADA LUMBERMAN Dr. Ely has made a recommenda- tion for Government ownership of all forest lands in the States and the creation of a block sys- tem in timber areas so_ that administration and fire protec- tion would be economically con- In this connection, it is pointed out that whereas the American people own just 25% of their forest estate, 85 per cent of all timber lands in Canada belong to the people of the Do- minion, which means that every time there is a forest fire in the Dominion the whole Nation suf- fers—not “just the lumber com- panies.” Industrial, economic, and employment conditions are also directly affected by a timber conflagration. Dr. Ely, in his statement, re- fers to the fact that there are 80,- . 000,000 acres of burnt-over forest country in the Uuited States which are lying absolutely idle. He also stresses the economic value of maintaining and protect- ing natural forest beauty for recreational purposes. “The Great Lakes Section will lose 75 per, cent ‘of ‘its charm when the forests are gone,” said. “Recreation means an actual money income to the State. It is estimated that Michigan profits to the extent of $75,000,- 000 a year from the people who visit that State for recreational purposes.” Record Cut of Pulpwood The largest cut of pulpwood in the Thunder Bay district was made last winter, when 263,409 cords were taken from the for- ests. This is over 100,000 cords more than was cut during the winter of 1922. The value of the pulpwood, according to J. Millway, Crown Timber Agent, Port Arthur, Ont., will run in the neighborhood of $3,160,908. The cut of railway ties, 463,978, was also the largest on record for the district. The value of all timber cut here last winter will total over $4,405,000. In addi- tion to the ties and pulpwood there were cut 550,043 sawlogs, valued. at approximately | $678,- 553; 34,480 pieces of dimension timber, . valued at $137,920: 305 telegraph poles, valued at $610; 9,681 cedar posts, valued at $14,- 521; 9,000 cords of. firewood, valued at $56,000. Pulpwood Export to be Restricted By a vote of 96 to 57, the House of Commons, at Ottawa, lately defeated an amendment to give the six months hoist to the Government bill empowering the Governor-in-Counceil! to ‘prohibit the. export of pulpwood; and subsequently the bill received third reading. The amendment moved hy Major Power of Quebec South, he. came from the Liberal ranks; but it received only seven Liberal votes, including that of the mover. A .R. McMaster. (Brome) opposed the bill as being “not consistent with the principles which we would have supposed animated a party calling itself Liberal.” “The Prime Minister has said that I have erected a little altar of my own,” said Mr. McMaster. “That may ‘be so but I can inform him that the fires of this altar at least are not fed with fuel from the splinters of a broken platform.” The United. States had no duty against the export of pulpwood or anything else from the coun- try. If;.Canada restricted or prohibited export she would sim- ply be inviting reprisals. What could be the situation asked Mr. McMaster, if the United States chose to prohibit the export of hardwood which was used by Canadian manufacturers of fur- niture, or of cotton which was the raw material for Canadian cotton mills? What would be the situation if the United States Government put an embargo on the export of anthracite coal? The whole of central Canada was warmed by anthracite from the United States, and the peo- ple living in this section would view with great alarm any thing which would result in a sto: page of the supply. W. C. Good, (Brant) thought there was something sinister in the measure. The necessary pre- cautions to preserve forests seemed to have ‘been used as an excuse to carry out a policy bene- fiting a few pulpmen in Canada by enabling them to purchase pulpwood more favorably in com- petition with purchasers of the United States. The Empire Forestry Conference Canada is honored by being selected as the meeting place this summer of the second Empire Forestry Conference. No effort is ‘being spared to justify the selection, and it may be ancici- pated that the numerous dele- gates will return to their respec- tive countries with a clearer con- ception than they have previous- ly had of Canadian conditions, the advantages of Canada as a source of raw forest products, and of the state of her develop- ment in the manufacture of wood material into many _ different forms. boaltas*the;aim of-the. Conference to, find the ways and means of making the Empire self-sustain- ing in its timber. supply. This involves careful stock-taking of forest resources, the pooling of information in regard _ thereto, and the establishmentof facilities for increasing Empire trade gen- erally in forest products.

The suffering and loss caused by forest fires are common knowledge and, yet, carelessness with fire in the forest continues. These forest fires are practically all preventable. Save Ontario’s Forests They’re Yours Every individual who steps inside the woods should remember he is in the midst of highly inflammable property, for the upper layer of ground in the forest consists of partially rotted wood, which will burn. Lack of consideration for this gave rise to the strenuous situation in Ontario the last week of May and the anxiety for days in some settlements. Thoughtlessness or bad judgment or carelessness cause practically all forest fires. Your co-operation, as a citizen, is needed to prevent these fires by taking the same care in the woods as in your own home. > poeta Ontario Forestry | | ~ Branch mm | il \ ae a jet W, Parliament Buildings _ AN Toronto, Ont. ik ul! lh 5 ( ata le Ae ciee! pene a —— ie 90 CANADA LUMBERMAN LUMBERMEN'S “LONG” No. 3 LATH BOLTER A fast, smooth running, simply operated machine that will maintain a tremendous output without attention over long periods.

CANADA LUMBERMAN Linn Logging Tractor on the operation of the Murray & Omanique Lumber Co., back of Barry's Bay, Ont. THE LINN LOGGING TRACTOR \ Hemlock is probably the heaviest of the soft woods—in the green log—Murray & Omanique cut in 16’ and in 24’ logs. Their average hauling distance was 4144 miles—Their average train consisted of Levee seven sleds—carrying 320 hemlock logs—five sleds loaded with 16’ logs and two sleds loaded with hs ae 24’ logs, to the train. They hauled 2,000 logs per day of 24 hours. Their road contained two up grades of 7%—They also had to haul down several steep down grades of about 25%. : They figure that their Linn Logging Tractor did the work of 20 teams of horses. Linn Logging Tractors were in operation last winter as far east as Newfoundland, and as far west as Esher, Ont. Next winter Linn Logging Tractors will be in operation as far west as Ignace, Ont. - 90% of the mechanical log hauling in eastern Canada was done last winter with Linn Logging Trac- tors—from the orders we have already received for new Linn Logging Tractors for fall delivery, we would say that next winter the percentage will be still higher. Every user of a Linn Logging Tractor is an enthusiast for Linn Logging Tractors. This is the seventh of a series of photographs taken in Ontario and Quebec last winter, where Linn Logging Tractors were in operation—the eighth will appear in the July 15th issue of this magazine. The actual performances of Linn Logging Tractors, when related by us, have been frequently doubted. But our users will vouch for our statements. “‘Ask the logger who uses one’’ —Logging Department — MUSSENS LIMITED Philips Place Building Montreal FIRE IN SURANCE Unequalled Facilities Protection —- jp eR VaCE or Saving “We have the Right ajar for every purpose” ’ The page anting fac s in making good Wire Rop peat e gn ge Daren ey how. 2.

D. Payette, Chief Agent for Canada I wish to thank you for the two cheques received, one in favor of James Playfair & Company and the other in favor of Playfair & White aggregating approximately $2800.00, which is in full liquidation of the insurance carried by your good selves during the time we were actively engaged in the lumber business. On looking the matter up I find that our premiums amounted to $13,726.00, during the time you had our insurance, and we have received back, including the above amount, $4700 which means a saving of around 34%. This is in addition to the saving we made by your rates being a good deal lower than other Companies. I would also like to mention that while you had our business your system of inspec- tion was most efficient in every way and am sure a good many losses were saved by same. If I ever go into the lumber business again will not forget you. Again thanking you for the cheques. EIN Yours very truly, JP/EB JAS. PLAYFAIR.

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

It is not possible, of course, to give detailed attention to every one, but retail lumbermen could very well do some thinking along the lines suggested in the subjoined queries. The “Canada Lumberman”’ will be pleased to have com- ments from retailers on any of the questions as it is only, by an exchange of thought, view and speech, that knowledge is extended and a better grasp of trade and business affairs obtained. He, who is master of his own enterprise and its details and who studies the problem of service, proper stock- keeping methods, overhead systems, cost accounting, collec- - tions, discounts, insurance, banking, etc., is the one who / ‘ ‘ grows in influence and is ever extending his activities. There are plenty of retail lumbermen, socalled; fellows who are fine talkers, smoke a good cigar, tell a funny story, make predictions regarding the elections or tell how and why the local baseball team is putting it all over the other fellows. In the end, he who gives specific information, who goes beneath the surface and looks into the situation with a keen, analytical mind and not from a narrow angle or any superficial view point, will reap the largest reward and travel furthest on the road to prosperity and success. However, this is a story quite apart from the considera- tion of any of the following questions on which the “Canada Lumberman” would be glad to receive from its readers sug- gestions, experience or ideas. The cost of operation and maintenance of a motor truck for the average town yard, as compared with horse delivery. What is turn-over? How may it be determined? What means can be taken to increase turn-over? Is it possible for a dealer to increase the volume of busi- ness in his community, or does ‘business just happen accord- ing to the state of the times and business situation? Should special discounts be given to contractors, large customers or others who purchase regularly and in quantities from the retail yards? What is the most effective way of meeting frequent re- quests for lower prices and the “shopper” who goes from yard to yard seeking what he terms the “best bargain.” _ What forms of advertising have the members found most productive,—newspaper space, booklets, souvenirs, calendars, road signs, price lists? ‘ Is it a safe plan for a dealer to obligate himself to fur- nish material to complete any particular job for a given sum? It has been asked, would it not be a better practice te submit an itemized list with quotations attached and ex- tended. In this way the price for each item would be in- dicated and definitely known, whereas, where a blank sum is named, all individual prices are continued. Is this a good time for lumbermen to stock up? Will ‘the prices of lumber increase before the net cut is available? Is there an advantage in buying direct from the mill over buying from the wholesaler? ; a Terms of sale and enforcing them. If discount for cash, -how much? Rebates to contractors, or relation of contractor to the lumber. business. Can a retail lumber yard be run successfully on a cash basis? Value of window displays and their pulling power. How to get the co-operation of the contractors and architects in a town working out a plan book system. Mill work costs. Right and wrong methods of soliciting business. Meeting competition fair and unfair. Method of dealing with the customer who is good but slow. Cost of doing business, its increase and why. The turnover of different items in the course of a year’s business. Will the lumber merchant of the future be the contractor, selling completed homes and other buildings, having one’s own crew and business organization? Adjustment of lumber claims when not up to grade. How to build up an organization and keep up its in- terest. How to run a small, detail factory profitably. Best advertising medium for retail yards and why. Necessity of retail yard advertising to combat the ready- cut. Cash and carry in the retail lumber business. Will such a system come in near future? Rural advertising and roadside signs where one has no local paper or refuses to patronize it. The handling of cheap. goods to overcome or meet demands of customers who send away for their material. -Grade and trade marking of all lumber; its advantages, etc: Co-operative advertising and publicity by retailers of a community to create a desire to own homes; posters, copy, etc., to be furnished by the association. Business ethics as practiced by the manufacturer of lum- ber, sash, doors and other mill-work in local territory.

What will help retail lumbermen to masters of their business? What is the most successful and generally satisfactory method of buying lumber for stock? Give details, such as do you buy from wholesalers, jobbers or manufacturers? Do you buy as you need stock or do you buy on weak mar- ket, etc.? How do you determine’the market trend?

How can the returned material evil best be handled? become better ——_ Ss +s i. as, _ CANADA LUMBERMAN ESI a Retail Lumberman and His Delivery Problem = It is my desire in this series of articles to assist the millman on lumber yard owner, by presenting the various ways in which he may deliver his products. It is not possible to state in a definite way what should be done regarding delivery equipment, without first knowing the various conditions under which the prospective client operates; therefore the proper selection is left to the future owner, assisted by the salesman representing the house selling the various trucks or tractors.* It is hoped that these contributions may prove to be of material ass istance to any who may have transporta- tion problems to solve. As, in the previous article, I, will here outline and explain three methods of lumber delivery namely, by means of a truck and four- wheel trailer, a truck and pole trailer and a truck tractor and semi- trailer. Another of the series will consist of a brief discussion of merits of the various methods and will be accompanied by a chart showing the comparative costs of operation so that one can compare the different systems from a financial standpoint. It is desired that those having problems dealing with lumber delivery will feel free to ask for assistance or advice in solving them. In delivering lumber from yards situated in large centres of population or to “jobs requiring heavy quantities of the one kind of stock, it is necessary to handle as much at one time as possible. To do this you can employ one of several types of equipment, and, possibly one of the most serviceable additions which you can make to your outfit, is the purchase of a four-wheel trailer for use in con- junction with your truck. The capacity of this trailer will depend, of course, upon the ability of your truck to handle extra tonnage beyond that rated for it by the truck builder and aiso upon your local roadways. How to Handle More Lumber An ordinary trailer equipment is usually of two to three tons capacity and has a loading platform approximately five feet wide and twelve feet long with side racks. Trailers of this type are frequently equipped so that they may be towed from either end. They have a locking device which permits of the lead wheels being free to steer with and having the rear ones locked in position. With this added to your delivery system, a bigger quantity of lumber may be hauled at one time than is ordinarily possible and at very little greater cost for operation; also by using two or more trailers, a force of men, loading or unloading, may be kept more steadily engaged, thus saving labor charges. It is not my desire to enlarge upon the value of truck and trailer use but, rather to point out the various installations available, in order that when new equipment is being considered by the lumber retailer, he may be as conversant as possible with ‘the situation and select equipment more nearly suited to his requirements. EOE bag fel pF AEE s el = Fe 87 Heavy duty tractor and semi-trailer which is the delivery system — Truck Tractors and Trailers— By L. G. Jackson SHU HHIHUNIUWUUUINLUIWILLAVLIINIAHLH NiiNi|!|Qw vO ir Bs ma Ho: = | Gg The foregoing equipment can also be used to good advantage handling long timbers. This generally is more easily cared for b having a pole trailer available and, while this piece of equipment not expensive, it should be part of the delivery system of every y boasting a business of any great extent or one catering to the supply of long material, as its use saves much wear and tear on both m and machinery in that, excessive overhang is eliminated and added wear through unhung weight is done away with. Truck Tractors and Semi-Trailers Possibly one of the most up-to-date methods of handling junibes is by means of truck tractors and semi trailers. In this’ article I show such an installation, the trailer being coupled to the tractor and waiting to be attached or standing for loading and unloading purposes. ‘By referring to the illustrations, you will notice that the tractor itself is of much shorter wheelbase than the ordinary truck. It also should be much lower gear reduction to develop the necessary added tractive effort at the rear wheels. The load is carried on the | semi trailer, which rests on the back of the tractor and is coupled to it by means of a fifth wheel, which coupling is sufficiently flexible to adjust itself to the various road conditions. Thus, the weight of the load rests, on not only the trailer proper, but also on the rear of the tractor and is, spread over a much greater area than is possible by using a truck alone. This method of delivery permits of handling much greater weights than by employing a truck alone. The coupling ‘and uncoupling is simple and, when unhooked the trailer rests on two front supports or jajcks and ‘the tractor may then | take an empty trailer away to be loaded or pull another one to the point of delivery for unloading. This method, as previously stated, is possibly the latest sea mae up-to-date as used by many of the lumbermen. While many may think it ideally suited to their needs, it must be borne in mind, that this equipment will not work to advantage over certain road surfaces and on certain grades. Before adding such equipment it would, therefore, be well for the prospective purchaser to study local high- way conditions under which the tractor and trailer would be operated and also have the manufacturer advise him of the tonnage which it can haul over certain road types and up various gradients. It is the desire that these articles should be of value to readers, and an expression from any one who cares to pass an opinion or discuss the various methods as outlined, will be welcomed. In a succeeding article an endeavor will be made to point out an~ entirely different method of lumber delivery, yet one which is to-day — becoming very much used and is regarded as very satisfactory. The lumber entering into the construction of an average brick building amounts to 15% of the total cost; the millwork an addi- tional 9.6%. CANADA LUMBERMAN $7 Hardwood Flooring Has Put Meaford on the Map ~ Annual Outing of the Seaman-Kent Co. Staff to Northern Town was Instructive From the hour they left the company’s warehouse, 268 Wallace Ave., Toronto, on Friday afternoon June 29 for Meaford, until the _ return motor trip on Sunday afternoon, July 1 there was not a dreary "moment in the annual outing which the Seaman, Kent Co., Limited, ... their staff. ; Over good roads and at a swift pace the journey between Tor- onto and ‘Collingwood was covered so that the shipbuilding town 4 ‘was reached in time for dinner. Here a pleasant surprise awaited the party at the Globe Hotel. The civic and Board of Trade authori- _ ties of Meatiord, hearing of the approach of the Seaman, Kent contingent, had arranged for a banquet in their honor, and supplied : _ everything in connection with the function even to ‘the orchestra. _ The dining room was crowded with alert representatives of the hust- _ ling northern town who gave Mr. Frank Kent, president of the com- _ pany, a hearty cheer and cordial welcome. The menu was attractive, _ the speeches bright and interesting, the music sprightly, and many - warm tributes were paid to Mr. Kent and his enterprising and aggres- sive staff on the splendid business they had built up in the hardwood _ flooring line and the busy factory which has been in operation in _ Meaford for over a score of years. Mr. Kent lived in that town until a few years ago, was its mayor for three years and took part in every movement that in any way strengthened the moral or material _ standing of the place. ‘ ‘After the tempting things had been disposed of, Mayor W. H. Sing opened with a few appreciative words relative to the ability, _and foresight of Mr. Kent. The visitors were promised the freedom of Meaford and told that everything would be done to make their stay pleasant and profitable, a promise which was implemented in every way. Addresses referring in eulogistic terms to the Seaman, _ Kent organization and its widely- known product, were made by Wm. Riley, Reeve of Meaford; D. Williams, editor of the Colling- _ wood Bulletin ; Ed. Cleland, president of the Meaford Board of Trade; _ Newton Cooper, Meaford; W. A. Hogg, editor of the Collingwood _ Enterprise ; A. (C. Gordon, "chairman of the Wholesale Lumber Deal- ers’ Association, Toronto; K. J. Shirton, Dunnville, president of the Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association, R. D. McLean, whole- sale lumber dealer, Buffalo; G. B. Van Blaricom, editor of the “Can- ada Lumberman,” Toronto, and others. Mr. Kent modestly eainoidedted the many gracious references _ to him, and said that any progress that had been made by’ the firm was through the hearty co-operation and loyalty of the staff at head office and in the various plants. Credit was due to no one in par- ticular but to each individual. Every man had worked with har- mony, unity and goodwill, to place the organization in the fore- _ front and help it achieve the position which it holds as the largest _ hardwood flooring producing firm in the British Empire. Meaford the End of the Road ee Mr. Kent invited all those who had entertained his and his staff, . to a return banquet at the Paul House on Saturday at 1 o'clock, which was accepted. Music was furnished during the evening by & the Meaford Orchestra under the leadership of J. B. Wallace, local _ manager of the Bank of Montreal, and several rollicking choruses _ were sung from a selected song sheet. Re After the dinner the party motored some 22 miles distant to 3 - Meaford where the members were the guests of the Seaman, Kent P~ Co. at the Paul House, which family have been keeping hotel in that - town for 70 years. Gus. A. Paul made a genial host and cheerfully and courteously looked after the comfort of everyone. __-~*Saturday morning, June 30th, was spent in visiting the busy ‘plant of the company where all the machines were in operation, and department from dry kilns to shipping room and warehouse carefully inspected. Not the least interesting was the branch he establishment in which the sawdust is converted into saleable oducts, for which a ready demand exists. The various opera- from the time the material passes through rip and resaws, on through the flooring machines, the end matching machines, the oT ding, sizing, bundling, transporting, etc., all aroused keen inter- n the part of the 30 or 40 visitors. The factory is well lighted and admirably laid out, possessing: every time and Maes saving ‘feature. After a tour of the plant, several members went feline and hers ae to the lawn bowling green where several ends were and Delightful—Many Social Features and Stirring Addresses played. Dinner time soon came around and the spacious dining room of the Paul House was filled with the members of the Seaman, Kent party of sojourners, representative citizens from Meaford, Coll- ingwood and other places. At the closé of the conference and speeches which followed the dinner, several representatives were invited to get into a sight-seeing omnibus which was of most ancient type and reminded one of the pioneer period. It contained curtains that flapped in the wind, wheels that creaked and springs that sagged and groaned and grieved. The conveyance was hauled by a pair of equine plugs and driven by a veteran garbed in a tattered red tunic and a bowler hat which Some of the Seaman-Kent lawn bowlers assembled on green at Meaford his ears. Kazoos and other “musical instru- added to the merriment of the occasion. came well down over ments” This was followed by a tbaseball match between the factory plant and the Toronto office. The former won by 14 tol2, although'*Tom” Armstrong did his best twirling to keep “down the score, but with somewhat indifferent success. ae Marshall was the strictly neutral umpire. Norman Wilton is the superintendent of the plant at Mea- ford and is proud of the ability of his boys, not only in turning out various grades of maple flooring but also on their performance on the diamond.: From Tree to Finished Product In the evening there was at the local theatre the special film of the Seaman, Kent Co., showing the process of the manufacture of hardwood flooring from the felling of the trees to the finished pro- duct in a large and attractive ballroom. Many of the scenes in the movie were taken from the various departments of the plant at Mea- ford, and a number‘of “the boys” upon the screen were recognized by local residents who cheered them heartily, the same as they’ would celebrated film favorites. Mr. Kent explained the nature of ‘the pic- tures as they were ‘presented. The films which were séctired at a large outlay by the Seaman, Kent Co., parts of Canada, and are instructive and inspirational from an indus- trial standpoint. After the production at the theatre some comics were run off at the hotel, and by this time it was midnight and the boys had to turn in for slumber. On Sunday morning the majority of the visitors w went to church and shortly after noon the return trip was begun, the party travel- ling by way of the far famed Wasaga Beach, a many mile stretch of clean, hard, white sand a few miles south of Collingwood. A number stopped at Bradford for tea and on reaching Toronto declared the outing to be the most successful and interesting of any in which they han ever participated.

Quirk, “Souvenir iSeanian Ieee Co., Limited, Annual Outing June 7 Montreal, did justice to “Canada.” Dr. Hamill, now Postmaster of Meaford, who was Mayor in 1901 when the Seaman, Kent Co. located their plant in Meaford, and W. W. Stephen, then a member of the municipal council, a great booster for the industry, recalled interest- ing reminiscences of a score or more years ago and told of the great benefit the hardwood flooring factory had ibeen to the town and how since its location there Meaford had enjoyed steady expansion, Other speeches on the development of the hardwood flooring industry in the various factories of Seaman, Kent Co., the splendid record that had been achieved and the bright outlook were delivered by George K. Tyler, manager of the Montreal. warehouse, George T. Bissell, Toronto, sec.-treas. of the company; E. H. Stanners, sales manager; Arthur G. Sills, of Belleville; Kent Ockley, of Toronto; H. Watson, cost accountant, Toronto; M. J. McCabe, Montreal branch, and others. Among the citizens of Meaford who paid ‘tributes to the work and worth of Mr. Kent were,—T. R. Moore; O. A. Keffer; Col. Cle- land; Ex-Mayor,S. A. Gray; Dr. Huff, Inspector of Schools; A. Lon- dry; David Gibbons, president of the Meaford Bowling Club, and others. Brief remarks were also made ‘by A. C. Gordon, who sang “The Standard on the Braes of Mars,” and M. J. Hutchinson, Tor- onto, who spoke as a Rotarian and praised Mr. Kent for the construc- tive work he was doing in connection with the under-privileged boys of Toronto, a home now ‘being conducted at Wilcox Lake, North, Yonge Street. There the lads who are considered worthy of being given a chance, are afforded every encouragement-and incentive imparted to right-living and right thinking. K. J. Shirton, president of the Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association, also spoke. A hearty vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Kent for the hospi- tality of the Seaman, Kent Co., the resolution being moved by Mayor Sing and seconded by W. W. Stephen. It was presented to the eathering iby A. C. Gordon and was carried amid salvos of applause. In replying the recipient reciprocated the many kind things spoken of him, and said any measure of success with which his organi- ee The first summer excursion of the Province of Quebec Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association and of the Montreal Retail Lumber- men’s Association to the Saguenay River on June 29-July 3, was an unqualified success. Although it was organized on comparatively short notice, the arrangements were quite adequate. The main object of such outings is the cultivation of the. social side of such organizations—the getting together in a way that is not otherwise possible—and this was fully accomplished. The association extended its field of invitation to lumbermen outside the retailers’ circle and several members of the Montreal Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Asso- ciation made the trip. Altogether the party numbered 77, including the wives and families of the retail and wholesale dealers. The journey to the Saguenay is the most favored of all those on the St. Lawrence going East. It furnishes the opportunity to visit the city of Quebec” with its old world associations, the more modern city of Three Rivers, which is an industrial centre in pulp and paper line, and Chicoutimi which is also the scene of much activity in pulp as and. paper. All these places have many years’ connection with the _ industry. Then the visitors have the pleasure of viewing some of _ the finest river and mountain scenery in the Eastern part of the Dominion. ‘The trip appeals to those who love beautiful landscape, _ those whose interest is of an historical character and those who are attracted by city sight-seeing. YW The journey was made in the new boat “Saguenay.” The party ' left Montreal on the evening of Friday, June 29th, and arrived at - Quebec at 5 o’clock the next morning. Some of the members went _ ashore for a short time, the boat leaving at 8 o’clock. After a stop at St. Timothee, the “Saguenay” arrived at Murray Bay at 2.45, where a. visit was made to the Manoir Richelieu. Here the choirs of St. nfant Jesus and the St. Jean Baptiste, who also made the journey on the “Saguenay,” gave a most delightful concert, Ff The next stop.was at Tadousac, rich in historical associations.

The outer rim. of the ‘wheel. set for the slogan,—'Even if we do not agree in our opinions, yet Tike th spokes of a wheel, we reunite in the rim.’ Sales Manager Stanners, in his rane gave some interestin: ou figures. He stated that the total production in all factories (Meaford, — St. Agathe and West Lorne) during the year ending June 30th 1923, was 21 204,482 feet, b.nt and the shipments for the same Ge amounted to 21 750, 163, feet. The decrease in stock for the at was 545,681 board feet, Mr. Watson gave some illuminating statistics regarding the 5. machine run in lineal feet and the equivalent in miles, based on the © output for the month of May 1923. At Meaford the. average daily _ run was 222,227 lineal feet, West [Lorne 166,274 lineal feet, St Agathe, — 119,730 lineal feet, making a total of 508, 231 lineal feet. The number — of miles of hardwood flooring per daily run, if the output was placed end to end would be at Meaford 42, at West Lorne 31. 5, St Agathe 22.7, total 96.2. Mr. Watson stated that the flooring at the company’s ‘three fac- tories based on the present output, wee produced at the rate of 9.8 © miles per hour; 96.2 miles per day, 2,310 miles per month and 27,720 miles per year. The total output for one year, if placed end to end, ~ would stretch 1 1/10 times around the circumference of the earth. At Meaford five machines are operated, West Lorne, three, \St. 4 Agathe, three. It was announced by one of the speakers that an order an Sea- man, Kent hardwood flooring had been lately received from the West Indies. Extensive improvements are also contemplated at St. Agathe. The dry kiln capacity will be increased, additions made to the boiler house and other alterations carried out. | . Some of the sojourners visited the old Indian church, ‘built in 1717, and saw the fine collection of relics. At Tadousac the St. Louis de France Choir entertained the party whith a splendid programme of classical music. Miss Benard gave some old, folk love songs, while Dr. L. Verschelden, Mr. Germain Lefebvre and Dr. Poissant also contributed to the programme. The concert was followed by a dance. The boat left at midnight and arrived at Chicoutimi early on the morning of Sunday, July ist. Some of the members inspected the pulpmill and the boat commenced the return journey at 4 o’clock in the afternoon. The wharf was crowded by the inhabitants, who joined in singing “Oh Canada.” as the “Saguenay” departed. One of the most impressive sights of the excursion was [Capes Trinity and Eternity, 2,000 feet high, the boat stopping for a quarter of an hour to allow of a proper view of these magnificent masses of rock. The city of Quebec was reached at 6 a.m. on Monday July Ist. The patty was met by Messrs. O. Chalifour and J. M. Dessureault, di'ectors of the Quebec district. Through their foresight and that of M. G. Chalifour, arrangements had been made for the loan of fifteen motor cars. These were kindly placed at the visitors’ dis- posal by the Brown Corporation; J. G. Chalifour; O. Chalifour; J. — H. Gignac, Limited; Nap. Gignac, Inc.; the J. Lefrancois Company, Limited; E. T. Nesbitt, Reg.; W. & J. Sharples, Limited; St. Law- rence Lumber Co., and the South Shore Forest Products, Limited. — The guests were first taken to the Quebec Bridge and then to Montmorency Falls, the drivers of the cars csplantne the interest- ing points to the uninitiated. he Prior to embarking Mr, H. H. Sheppard, of Sorel, took a group photo of the party. A stop was made at Cap de la Madeleine, where a visit was made to the ancient church. From there the vessel jour- neyed to Three Rivers, the opportunity being taken to inspect some of the principal points of interest in this growing city. On the trip CANADA LUMBERMAN 39 the two choirs again entertained from Three Rivers to Montreal, those on board, the concert being directed by Dr. L. Verschelden and “Mr. G. Lefebvre. At the termination of the programme Mr. G. _ Lebel, president of the Province of Quebec Retail Lumber Deal- ers’ Association, expressed appreciation of the efforts of the choirs P and also of the courtesy of the officers of the steamer. He presented _ purses to the captain, steward and assistant steward. Bishop L. A. _ Debuc also spoke, referring incidentally to the high place held by the lumber industry in Canadian commerce. The “Saguenay” arrived in Montreal on the morning of Tues- | day, July 3rd, after one of the most pleasant excursions possible. The committee responsible for the arrangements were :— p Messrs. J. P. Dupuis, George Lebel; J. A. Bonneau; J. I. Greeves; _C. Drapeau; H. de Charette ; Le OW. "Halliday and G. A. Thompson.

No factor that could 3 contribute to the success or comfort of the party was overlooked and the “Cape Trinity,” of the Canada Steamship Lines, in charge of Capt. Wm. Cornett and his courteous crew, was an ideal boat for _ the journey. Her appointments and other features which add to the pleasure and satisfaction of travel, were highly spoken of by all the congenial sightseers who numbered sixty.

J. B. Mackenzie, of George- town, and E. D. Hardy, of Ottawa, were transported by motor boat to the golf links. Brockville was found to be an attractive and invit- ing centre, with delightful parks’ and imposing public buildings. In the afternoon at 2 o’clock the “Cape Trinity” sailed down the Canadian channel passing Mallorytown, Rockport and Gananoque. Historic Kingston was reached shortly before 6 o’clock, and after din- ner on board the boat, the local lumbermen met the excursionists and entertained them to a three-hour motor drive around the Limestone City. F. R. Anglin and C. S. Anglin, (the latter one of the city aldermen) of the S. Anglin Co., and Roy Allen, of the Allen Lumber Co., extended a cordial greeting to all. The city is at present cele- brating its 250th anniversary, it being the original site of Fort Fron- tenac, built in 1673 by that wise governor and intrepid soldier from which it took its name. Among the institutions visited were Queen’s University, the Provincial Penitentiary, the Rockwood Hospital for the Insane, the Mowat ,Military Hospital, the Royal Military College and grounds, Fort Henry, overlooking the noble St. Lawrence; the City Buildings, Memorial Hall, City Council Chamber and the business section. The guns, walls, moat and martello tower of Fort Henry were a source of much interest to all. Fort Frontenac passed through many vicis- situdes, being alternately in the hands of the French and English until it was finally destroyed in 1758, and on this site Fort Henry was reared in 1812 by the. English.

E.S. Savage, of Mi The Cruise up Quinte Bay The travelling lumbermen and their ladies spent night on board the boat in Kingston and at daybreak next morning set sail up the tamous Bay of ‘Quinte and en route passed Wolfe. Island, the far- famed Lake-on-the-Mountain, Glen Island, Deseronto, (the former scene of the lumbering and other activities of the Rathbun Com- pany), the Indian Reservation in the township of Tyendinaga, North- port, Big Island, Massassaga Point, the huge cement works at Point Ann, and many other places of note until Belleville was reached. This was on Sunday morning and a large number attended the city | churches, after which Mayor Bennett, 14 O. Herity, of the Belleville : Chamber of Commerce, Messrs. Angus and Keefer, the Belleville Sash & Door Co., and others, took the delegates for a motor tour - around the City -of-the- Bay. The Belleville Country Club, the new buildings of Albert. College, now in course of construction, ‘and other ; points of interest were visited. The stay of four hours in Belleville was so attractive and the time passed so quickly that, when the “Cape Trinity” departed at 4 The “Cape Trinity” on which the party sailed o'clock, it was found that two or three automobile loads had not re- turned. It was necessary for the vessel to back up to the wharf again . sin order to take on the belated sightseers. They had tried to view too much within a limited time and came nearly being separated from '. the others in'the party, or having to catch the boat at Trenton. On arrival at the latter town where Gill & Fortune, lumber merchants, row operate, the business portion was inspected and a fine view obtained of the main section from the more elevated portions of - ‘the town. Many years ago Trenton was the scene of the vast opera- _ tions of the Gilmour Company, which flourished for several decades. _ Very little now remains of the original mill site and yard. At Tren- ton also begins the system of that imposing waterway, the Trent Valley Canal, connecting the Bay of Quinte with Lake Simcoe and others in central Ontario. : At 6.30 the boat left for Toronto and headed fae the Murray canal, _ which is Some seven miles long and links the Bay of Quinte with _ Brighton Bay, an arm of Lake Ontario. At the eastern entrance of ' the canal is the summer resort bearing the unique name, “Twelve '~ O’clock Point,” and at the western end, Fee ile Point, now a part of the Provincial Park Systems. On reaching Toronto early on Monday morning July 9th, the visitors from various parts of Ontario departed to their several homes __ after a midsummer outing that was restful, educational and health- giving in every respect. Five hundred miles of picturesque, Can- -adian waterway had been traversed and the associations were most delightful. : The Last Evening on Shipboard On the final evening of the trip several bright and witty speeches were delivered and the sail was rendered all the more enjoyable by vocal selections from Mrs. T. A. Armstrong, Toronto, who never fails to delight her hearers. Her splendid singing was very much appreciated. _ §.,J. Hales,.of, Toronto, who is on the sales staff of John B. Smith & Sons, possesses a good voice and was heard to advantage _ ,in numerous selections, while the orchestra of the “Cape Trinity,” ~ composed of cadets from the Royal Military College, Kingston, were given hearty applause for many spirited contributions. During’ the evening short speeches expressive of appreciation of the trip, and the ' thanks of all the members present to W. B. Tennant, of Toronto, the energetic chairman of the Outing Committee, and to Secretary Ee _ Boultbee, for their efforts to make the event a success, and referring Pa Ja: Irvin, of Toronto; Alex. Rhind, Toronto ; G. B. VanBlarico: editor “Canada Lumberman,” and others. Suitable acknowledg- ments were made by Messrs. Boultbee and Tennant. i There were various contests to enliven the three-days’ sail. One was capturing the “mysterious Mr. Raffles.” This much- sought. after but elusive individual proved to be Drummond Giles, purser of the steamer. His captors were Mrs. Harold W. George and Mrs. Horace Boultbee. The presentation of silver pencils to the winn was made by E. D. Hardy, of Ottawa, in a facetious speech. An old-fashioned “spelling match” with Alex. Rhind as” offi announcer was conducted. The prizes were won by K. J. Shirton, of Dunnville, G. W. Boake, Toronto, and G. T. Bissell, Toronto. The premiums were handed out by Udney Richardson, ex M.LA., ot Elora. Mrs. Armstrong moved a vote of thanks, on behalf of the ladies, to the gentlemen for the presentation of a box. of sweets to each mem- ber of the fair sex. It was decided that Secretary Boultbee should send letters appreciation to the Brockville, Belleville and Kingston civic authori- | ties and retail lumbermen for their kindness and hospialiey, during: 4 the stay of the party in these cities. . J. R. Beck, of Toronto, district passenger agent of the Canada Steamship Lines, and Oscar Day, superintendent of the Commissary Department, accompanied the boat on what was her initial trip of the season. L Plans for next year’s excursion were talked over, and it was “hen } unanimous decision of those present that a midsummer outing should — be held in 1924 as these events from a social, ete and re-- creative standpoint are long remembered. ; : The Party on Cape Trinity .

Mea Making Logs Too Hot for the Boreas Nearly everyone has had the experience of turning over a rotting { log in the woods and finding the under side alive with insects which prefer to live and to work in the darkness. When the log is lifted over they scurry away to shady places. Now the U.S. Bureau of Entomology, utilizing this deena Chas sunlight, has found that direct sunlight on logs will, in many cases, — kill not only the insects on the outside of the log, but those ‘within 2 as well, bok Oa Logs act as heat traps. When placed in the sunlight ‘they let in the heat faster than they radiate it and so get hotter and ae . until they are about 20 to 25 degrees above the temperature of the - surrounding air. If the temperature of the air is up to 80, the inside — of the log so exposed gets hot enough to kill all the ‘bugs, or at Boer q s all those » which do damage. an The method has been, used in the control of the western ‘pine beetle on the Pacific coast, and in the povenuen of pin-hole defects _ "7 in green logs. Reece ee se ae ll 10. = ms. Underwriting Alliance Opens Canadian Office In order to render more effi- cient service to their Canadian subscribers the Lumbermen’s Underwriting Alliance, (U. S. Epperson Underwriting Co.,) of Kansas City, Mo., recently open- ed an office at 546 Conflederation Life Bldg., Toronto, with L. D. Payette, chief agent for Canada, in charge. For several years the company has been. doing busi- ness in all the provinces of the Dominion and Angus McLean, bead sot the Bathurst Co., Bathurst, N. B., who is also president of the Canadian Lum- bermen’s Association, was lately appointed Canadian member ot the Advisory Board succeeding the late Senator Edwards who served for several years. J. J. Lynn is the aggressive general manager of the company which has been in operation since 1905. Under his direction and with the cordial co-operation of all asso- ciated with the organization, its activities now extend all over the continent. ng Mr. Payette, who has been with the Lumbermen’s Underwriting Iliance for nearly nine years, was born in Penetanguishene, Ont. .T. Payette, Mayor of that progressive town, is a brother. “L. D.” secured his first job with James Playfair, widely-known lumberman of Midland, and soon became his private secretary. His next posi- tion was in Winnipeg where he represented Mr. Playfair on the Grain Exchange after which he joined the Lumbermen’s Under- writing Alliance as secretary to Mr. Epperson. Mr. Payette rose steadily in the service until two years ago he was made chief agent for the Dominion. He has built up a good business for his organi- zation and the opening of a Canadian branch evidences the advan- cement of the Lumbermen’s Underwriting Alliance and the service is rendering lumbermen. Undoubtedly one of the reasons which has materially contributed to the expansion and prestige of the com- pany is its earnest effort in the matter of inspection which has tended ‘to reduce the great waste of lumber properties caused through heavy fire losses. * — igs Fifty Years Changes in Timber Trade In the Jubilee Number of the London, Eng., Timber Trades Journal recently published, the veteran British timber importer from Canada, Henry Berkley, of the firm of Farley, Clark & Berkley, re- ‘counting his reminiscences of the past, writes interestingly. His remarks, which follow will prove of interest to old-time Canadian lumber exporters :-— if To give anything like a history of the many changes in the ‘ter is quite impossible; but let me congratulate you upon the high state of efficiency which yau have brought the “Timber Trades _ Journal” up to its jubilee. _ Probably the chief factor in bringing about the many changes in the trade has been the transition from sail to steam as a means of transport, more especially in the import from. the more distant - sources of supply. TIT remember trying to induce a large steamboat owner to send his boat to Pensacola to load a cargo of hewn logs for my firm, but he held strongly that it would “knock his boat to pieces.” And now nearly the whole import to U.K. is by steam. ae remember we had some difficulties as to the discharge of these log cargoes, owners insisting that delivery must be taken from ship ail, until an eminent judge, learned in law and wise in reasonable- ess, decided that “to toss the logs over the ship’s rail, and expect e merchant to catch them in mid-air was not a good and sufficient delivery.” + Ganada, too, has been a splendid source of supply, and Jit is a matter for great regret that the import has fallen off so considerably, the different woods were so gréatly appreciated; the Ottawa lite pine is by far the finest wood we have for so many purposes, d the Canadian shippers have always held the premier position as ppers. The names of Sharples, Dobell, Burstall, Gilmore, etc., long be remembered as representing firms of the highest com- ial morality, with whom it was indeed a pleasure to do business. well remember signing a contract for 2,000 loads of prime ran white oak logs, to average 85 ft. cube, for shipment f.o.b. res m .

We were asked to allow these to be cross cut, but to this we demurred, and eventually I think the difficulty was overcome by using two cranes. Now we have to be satisfied with an average around 50 ft. cube. Lord Bryce described Iceland as a land of negatives, and Can- ada might fittingly be described as a land of superlatives as the Canadians have everything on so large a scale, including snow. I well remember driving out from Quebec Cove one bright frosty October morning to breakfast with Miss Sharples, and as I drove through the groves of scarlet maple and dark green pine I thought I had never seen anything more beautiful. Mr. Sharples’ residence at Sillery Cove is, as its name seems to suggest, most beautifully situated, and I recall that at breakfast my ignorance as to how I was to eat the sweet corn caused great merriment. Well, it was a little difficult, though very nice. Rimouski Lumber Co. is Expanding The Rimouski Lumber Co., of Rimouski, Que., have practically a completed extensive remodelling of their mill. They have extended their loading platform which will give them a loading space 30’ x 400’ long. The new power house is complete in every detail having installed 250 h.p. engine and boiler. The mill will be 100’ x 70’, clear of all pillars which will facilitate the handling of lumber. The firm recently made changes in the management and were fortunate in securing Mr. D. P. De Laperelle, formerly with Price Bros., as manager. The company have yard capacity for piling twenty million feet and purpose operating their three saw mills in the vicinity of. Rimouski. They will specialize in dressing in transit as well as. dressing all their own stock and have installed the latest type fast feed machines. P. B. Yates Machine Co., Hamilton, have supplied ~ them with two Type A-4 planers and matchers with capacity to 200 feet per minute, one No. 341 band resaw, one No. 283 band resaw, one No. 281 band! rip saw, one No.'108 moulder and one trim saw. The Rimouski Lumber Co. have orders from American firms as — well as extensive orders for Canadian firms and provision has been made for a capacity of ten to twelve cars per day. The company also have ample room to extend further and if business demands it, they intend to double their present capacity in the near future. Lumber at British Empire Exhibition W. B. Stokes, exhibition specialist of the Forest Products Lab+ oratory, Montreal, who has been “loaned” to the Canadian Govern- ment Exhibition Commission, Ottawa, in connection with the Brit — ish Empire Exhibition which will be held in London, England, next year, was in Toronto recently calling upon the members of the lum- ber industry. * The Canadian Government will erect a special building in Lon- don at a cost of several hundred thousand dollars to present all the varied natural products of the Dominion. The structure will be 240 x 400 feet, and the most central portion has been allotted to forest products. This space will be approximately 40 x 100 and will be devoted to a display of all the commercial woods of Canada, some - in the rough and others in their finished state. There will be a suit- | able showing in panels and of built-in and built-up productions, in — which various kinds of wood will be used. ia Mr. Stokes reports that he is receiving much encouragement — from the lumber interests and he expects that the exhibit of forest — products will be both impressive and extensive. The British Empire Exhibition will open in April next and continue for six months. High Price Paid for Spruce Logs More than $24 per thousand feet was paid for spruce logs at the _ annual no-mark sale of the St. John River Log Driving Company at — St. John, N. B., lately. Local lumbermen regard the high price | as indicative of prosperity in store for the industry. y All the spruce logs were purchased by Randolph & Baker, Ltd. All of the pine and some of the cedar and hemlock were purchased by Murray & Gregory, Ltd. The Fraser Companies, Ltd.,; took the remainder of the cedar and Stanley Douglas, Limited, took the re- mainder of the hemlock. ; Walter Jackson, of Fredericton, represented the Log Driving Company. Others present were: J. Fraser Gregory, of Murray & ~ Gregory, Ltd.; A F. Randolph, of Randolph & Baker, Ltd.; Stanley | Douglas, of Fredericton, of the York & Sunbury Milling Company, of Devon; W. J. Glenn, of Fraser Companies, Ltd., Fredericton; F. C. Beatteay, of Stetson, Cutler & Co., St. John, and Joseph Hawkins, of Hawkins & Sons, Nashwaaksis. ‘ = CANADA LUMBERMAN | . Bit Mise ay hi 5, Lumber Standardization is Making Progress By its action taken at its meeting in Chicago on June 22-23, the Central Committee on Lumber Standards has largely paved the way » fora general standardization conference to be composed of accredi- ' ted representatives from all affiliated organizations interested in the standardization Be lumber, to be held at the Department of Com- merce in Washington next fall, to take final action on its recom- mendations, which will be binding on the entire lumber industry. At the recent meeting in Chicago, the Consulting Committee on Lumber Standards submitted a number of its recommendations to q the Central Committee which were approved with very few changes. Briefly, the recommendations as approved cover Standardinatien of lumber sizes, simplification of grade names, and the guaranteeing of quality and quantity foronen ‘grade- marking and inspection ser- vice. Some of the iecugumendaeuns are that standard finished yard boards should be not less than 25/32 inch thick, and that standard finished dimension should be not less than 1-5/8 inch thick. | The attendance was large and enthusiastic, and the thorough manner in which every detail was considered, together with the splendid spirit of compromise shown, indicates clearly that lumber standardization, involving a quarter billion dollars of annual savings and gain to the lumber consumers and to the lumber trade, is in _ definite and early prospect. Tariff Commission to Investigate Log Duty The United States Tariff Commission announces that it will hold a hearing in Washington on August 3 in regard to the duty on fir, cedar, spruce and western hemlock logs. This is the outcome of efforts that have been made by Washington state lumbermen to correct the inequity of the tariff law of 1922 which, while admitting free of duty shingles and lumber manufactured from logs of the species named, imposes a duty of a dollar a thousand on the raw material, the logs. Many of the shingle and some of the lumber mills of Washington import logs from British Columbia. The present situation has already shown a tendency to encourage the transfer of sawmill enterprises to the Canadian side of the line, as owners of American mills near the international line exhaust present timber supplies. British Columbian policy is to keep the logs at home that are cut from government lands, which are 90 per cent. of the timber- lands of the province. But this permits the exportation of the sur- plus over home consumption. Prior to 1915 it was the policy to wait until there was a large accumulation of surplus logs before auth- orizing exportation. Now, however, the surplus is usually permitted to be ‘exported as it accrues. The bulk of the log importations into Washington from British Columbia is cut from private lands and is not subject to embargo. Washington lumbermen expect the next Congress to equalize matters by putting logs on the free list. In the meantime they have petitioned for a reduction in the present tariff rates by order of the President, through the Tariff Commission. : Australian Premiers Visit B.C. Log Camps / «Logs scaling 10,000 feet being hauled out of the woods and loaded on flat cars, tall cedars, worth approximately $750.00 each, being felled and prepared for shipment to the Fraser river and New Westminster and Vancouver mills, and a high rigger lopping the top off a monarch of the forest, These were some or the sights witnessed by Sir George Fuller, premier of New South Wales, Hon. H. S. W. Lawson, premier of Victoria, and party recently when they visited the logging camp of Abernethy- Lougheed Company, back of Port Haney, B.C. The visit was a fitting climax to the Australian pre- _ tiers’ brief stay in the Coast province. and, according to their own _ expressed appreciation made to N. Lougheed and to Ce G. Abernethy, when the logging train brought them back to Port Haney lately, it _ gave them first hand knowledge of the extent of the lumbering indus- try as it concerns British Columbia. Blair Bros. Appeal in Lath Case C. G. Ogden, K.C., counsel for Blair Brothers, Limited, Montreal, has been instructed By his clients to take to appeal a judgment of Mr. Justice Surveyer condemning them to pay $8,124,65 to the Riverside Manufacturing Company of Cap Madelei: ne, Que. The plaintiff com- pany in this case maintained that Blair Brothers wrongfully refused to accept delivery of a purchase of one ilion laths, and claimed the - above amount as loss suffered on re-sale. The grounds for defence raised by the defendant company, and “which will be relied upon in appeal, in substance, are as follows: That it had cancelled and repudiated the contract on June 16, _and spruce and have a good reputation in Ontario. 2, Se eR 1920, because the plaintiff company had violated an agreement m by it through its president, Mr. Biermans to sell lumber to the fendant company during the season of 1920 and, further, that plaintiff company did not take prompt and proper measures, or m any attempt or adopt sound business methods, either at the time the cancellation of the contract by the defendant in the middle June, 1920, or for several months afterwards, to contract with ot parties in respect of the manufacture and sale of its lath and th the plaintiff company could, at the time the contract was cancell and during the summer of 1920, and for some time thereaiter, hs contracted with other parties for the manufacture and sale of lath in question at a price equal to or better than that which th defendant company agreed to pay, and that in any event, the p tiff company went to uncalled for and unnecessary expense to se the lath several months after the cancellation of the contract at time when there was little or no market for the same and that 1 defendant company was not for the reasons above mentioned indeb to the plaintiff company in any sum of money whatsoever. — Windsor Firm Report Expanding Trade Elliot & Elliot, wholesale lumber dealers, Windsor, Ont., who have offices in the Bartlett Building, recently entered upon. their third year in business and report that trade throughout the Border — Cities section is lively at the present time. They specialize in Brit- ish Columbia forest products, such as fir, spruce, hemlock and red cedar, and are also eastern representatives of the Pacific Box Coss > Limited, Vancouver. During the past year they have broadened — their connection and strengthened their position, particularly in) the") Niagara Peninsula. Among the firms, whose products are sold in Ontario by Mitiot & Elliot, are T. A. Burrows Lumber Co. , Winnipeg, who are special- ists in Manitoba spruce; Southern Alberta Lumber & upply Co., Limited, of Seattle and Vancouver, and the Campbell Lumber Goum Limited, White Rock, B.C. The Southern Alberta Co., Limited, ship large quantities of fir commons in timbers and dimension, ‘tO. the Eastern market via the Panama Canal. Their regular ship- ments average from 9,000,000 to 12,000,000 feet per month. The Campbell Raver Lumber Co. are widely-known producers of fir, cedar a W. R. Elliot and J. E.

Forest. Exhibit Car Doing Good Work The Canadian Forestry Association’s Exhibit car was in Wind- sor N.S., and there was a very large attendance of interested visitors. The Association’ s Exhibit car is properly termed “a forest protection _ school on wheels.” It travelled nearly 12,900 miles last year and was visited by over 250,000 people. It plans to cover all of Canada — except the Prairie Provinces, and is in charge of Mr. G, Gerald Blyth, ie assistant secretary of the association. It carries motion picture yi equipment, and movies are shown each night in the open Enea) se school halls or theatres.

Toronto, July 15, 1923 No. 14 Stop the Export of Pulpwood The Federal Government at its recent session provided facilities, which may be put in operation at any time,“by means of an Order- in-Council, to prevent the export of pulpwood from private lands. For many years there has been an agitation which, at first re- ceived but indifferent support, to preserve the natural growth and wealth of Canada’s coniferous woods. These forests have been dis- appearing altogether too rapidly. Limit owners, farmers, settlers and others have grown too prodigal in their ideas of what consti- tutes caution and conservation. Fire, insects, storm and other enem- ies of trees have caused a waste of our national substance until at last we are aroused from our lethargy and becoming seized with the conviction. that timber is much like good health. It is com- paratively easy to retain if watched and taken care of, but once under- mined, it is almost impossible to restore without a long, painful process. _ Canada is destined to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, pulp, and paper country in the world. It is her one outstanding _ characteristic and distinction and no industry has developed with the Same rapidity and solidity as pulp and paper enterprises. The ex- _ ports continue to grow and are helping to place Canada on the map more than any other great national undertaking. No citizen who does not possess thrift, loyalty and foresight, ever becomes a factor _ in his community, and no country, which wastes its raw material, ‘: _ dissipates its natural resources and takes no thought of the genera- tions that are to follow, will ever travel very far in world affairs or _ material expansion. Canadians are now beginning to waken up to the fact that they _ possess something worth while and that no longer should outsiders _ come in and exploit raw pulpwood. In taking steps to make it com- ae pulsory that the unfinished material be converted into the finished _ Product at home, more capital will be placed in circulation in the Dominion, more employment, both skilled and unskilled, will be _ afforded, and Canada will grow in population, prestige and power. Rha It is generally acknowledged that Canadians have not sufficient _ Pride in their possessions. They do not evidence enough cohesion _ im great ideals or in material matters, and lack vastness of vision and _ Optimism of outlook. It is time to be up and doing before it is too tate and the Federal Parliament has at last been incited to action on a great national problem. _ The only contention raised against the proposed prohibition of pulpwood export from private lands is that it might injure the settler colonist by restricting his market and confine his sales of wood to anada, It is understood that the regulation when it goes into ’ : 7 s : 2 } a 4 pa mo os CANADA LUMBERMAN 45 effect will allow considerable freedom to the settler whose chief source of revenue is his pulpwood, and that he will not be shut out from the foreign market at the present time by the embargo. It has been well pointed out that no interest in Canada is going to suffer through an embargo on freehold pulpwood. The value of the product will not deteriorate and there will be just as much wood sold and used as ever as long as the supply lasts. The chief differ- ence is that it will be disposed of to be manufactured in our own country instead of going to enrich another. It takes only about eight months to erect a pulp mill and, with a six months’ period allowed before the Act takes effect, there will be ample time for readjustment. This latitude will permit of the shipment of all wood now on hand. It is declared that the exports of pulpwood have been draining the country of its great timber assets and too swiftly has this vast natural and national kingdom been vanishing, The problem is not one of reciprocity, politics or reprisals, such as some public men would lead the people to believe. It is decidedly one of national /self-preservation, standing up for one’s rights and the inventories in our own household. Canadians have at last started to take cognizance not only of the present but to give some heed to the morrow. said that in time of peace prepare for war. In days of plenty it is advisable to prepare for a dearth of material, which, while it may be deferred, may come sooner than we expect. appreciate and properly appraise our natural endowments. who has no self-respect, will never be respected by others, and any country that does not uphold the protection, preservation and per- petuation of its splendid heritage, will sooner or later go down to oblivion and be numbered among the wastrels and wantons of the world. Social Side of Association Work One of the most notable developments of recent years is the expansion of the social aspect of commercial life. The old idea that, in trade, each man is a law unto himself, is being discarded, and re- placed with one having for its basis the principle of co-operation and sociability. Through the media of trade associations and such soci- eties as the Rotary Club, Kiwanis Club and others, men are getting into closer touch with each other, and extending their circle of friends. The lumber industry is taking a foremost part in this movement. In Eastern Canada, Toronto led the way, followed by Montreal. The meetings, luncheons, excursions and golf tournaments all play a part in this cultivation of a better understanding between the various sections of the trade and between the: members of those sections. There is no better means of eliminating business jealousies and of promoting harmony within an industry than these periodical social events. The directors of the Ontario association were wise in their day and generation when they inaugurated summer excursions. The Province of Quebec Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association has followed this excellent example. The excursion to the Saguenay, a report of which will be found elsewhere, was an outstanding success, and an event of this character is to become an annual one. Probably the Montreal Wholesale Lumber Association will next year be asked to make it a joint excursion. Those, who took the trip to the Sagu- they have participated, and that it has done much in the direction of establishing a greater spirit of co-operation which is the foundation of a live trade organization. : What Lumberman Salesman Expects Leaving aside orders, there are two things which a salesman values—one is courtesy and the other consideration of his time. He too often obtains neither. Many buyers, who. have salesmen on the road, lack the quality of giving to men who call upon them the same — treatment which they expect will be accorded to their own represent- atives. This is sometimes due to temperamental causes and some- times because the buyer is trying to do too much. In the latter case It has been well We must learn to He, - enay, declare that it was one of the most pleasant excursions in which ~ it means that he has not sufficient time to see those who call upon — Him and involves a great waste of time to those who regard him as a prospect. Salesmen, like every one else, have to take their chances of seeing those upon whom they call, but they expect that their time will receive a certain amount of consideration, and that they will not be kept waiting for an unreasonable period.

The lumber interests put up a stiff fight to have the present tax of three per cent. retained and at one time it looked as if the proposi- tion might be favorably considered. However, nothing was done at the last moment and Parliament adjourned with the new measure endorsed, which, in its ramifications, duplication and interpretation, is likely to cause endless trouble and misunderstanding in the way of adjustments overlapping and rebates. However, it is nearly six months before the measure will go into operation and there is no sense in crossing a bridge until one comes to it, or, as an eastener might say, it is time enough to shake hands with the devil when you meet him. One lumberman humorously asserted the trade might offer up a prayer that so far as the Federal authorities and the “sales tax are concerned, ‘from the ignorance and arrogance of those who make the law, may we be delivered.” It would appear that the chief clauses of the new sales measure, which will go into effect on January Ist, 1924, are as follows: A manufacturer producing goods to the value of $10,000 per year will be required to take out a sales tax license at a cost of $2.00. Wholesalers selling fifty per cent. of their sales to manufacturers holding a sales tax license will be permitted to take out a license. The product of a sawmill will only be taxed when it is not to be used as raw material for “further manufacturing.” Shingles and lath, doors, sash, etc., will be subject to the tax when sold by the mill, being regarded as finished products. A straight retailer, not operating a planing mill, will pay a price in which the manufacturer or wholesaler has included a six per cent. tax. That will be the end of it for him, as he will not have to collect 4 the tax. The retailer, who operates a planing mill, and who sells $10,000 worth of “further manufactured” product per year, will have to take out a sales tax license. He can buy material for his planing mill without any tax upon it but, when he sells his “further manufac- tured” product, it will be subject to six per cent. tax. On his pur- chases of material which he intends to sell without putting it through the planing mill, there will be a tax when he buys and no tax when he sells. The date when a refund on account of sales tax with respect to _ goods sold at a price fixed before May 12th 1923, is June 30th 1924. It is said that the intention of the Finance Minister is that the tax shall not be shown in the invoice as a separate item, but shall be added to the price. Another Well Known Lumberman Passes Alex. Leishman, 36 Chicora Ave., Toronto, who for many years was a well-known lumberman, passed away recently. He was born in Lamark.County in 1862 and was well known in Toronto, Wood- stock, Galt, Orillia and Bracebridge, in each of which places he re- sided for some time. For several years Mr. Leishman was engaged in the lumber business in Woodstock and Galt under the name of of the Continental Life Assurance ‘Co. Leishman Maundrell & Co., Company, making his headqufarters in Orillia. after which he was with the Rathbun He retired from the forest products arena several years ago and was appointed city agent in Toronto.

Quebec Settlers and Forest Fires Quebec and the monetary value sustained is causing much anxi especially in the minds of the limit holders and lumber manufactu interests. There is no doubt but that the Government is doing truly national work in the promotion of colonization and that every encouragement should be given to the hardy pioneers who penetrate the forests and remote sections of the province to clear land a make homes for themselves. But it is regrettable that the avera: citizen of the province has no conception of the value of forest and what they mean to the livelihood of the Canadian people, who in the thousands are employed in the lumbering operations, pulp and — paper industries and other activities directly and ‘indirectly con- nected. A leading Quebec lumberman, discussing the situation, ‘points out that the forests in the province, according to the statistical year book issued by the Government for the fiscal year ending June 30th 1922, netted the Government a revenue of $4,004,432,15, and, of that amount, the stumpage dues and the ground rent paid’ by’ the limit in fact everything in the lumber line required for a house. — The appalling destruction by forest fires in the province of ; holders, amounted to $3,403,146.82, being the largest. sum coming — under any heading of the receipts of the province for that year. Classed as ordinary revenue receipts, the Government receipts that year were $21,609,396.16, proving that the lands and forests mean 25 per cent. of the total annual revenue, not to mention the many millions which the public derive from industries which the forests keep in operation. “Tt is a well-known fact,” est advocates for forest conservation are the limit holders. They do not only preach conservation but they practice it along the most practical lines and annually spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in controlling fires and supervising work of all kinds and in teforesta- tion. “It must be admitted that the Government is also doing some- thing in the work for forest protection, and during 1922 expended a i said the lumberman, “that the AoA a total of $318,000, but, even with that outlay, can it be said that the forest protection is adequate, in view of the trereeaene fire losses? Are the large sums of money expended at all proportionate to the amounts which are spent upon colonization, and are all those expendi- tures to be set at naught by the criminal negligence. of settlers who, in disregard of all regulations, are responsible for the conflagrations which annually devastate large tracts of timber areas? “The government in 1921-22 spent $2,000,000 to assist colon- ization while, during the same period, the revenue from lands sold to the colonists amounted only to $107,365.50. During that year the Government built bridges and culverts and aided in the construction of schools, and when forest fires come, such as recently, a large per- nee of these bridges and culverts are destroyed and have to be rebuilt Srl “It is generally admitted that something must be done to remedy © the situation as regards the colonists. ‘The Government is respon: sible, and the system, now in vogue, is open to criticism. Although there are many good available farm lots, the colonists, in the maj- ority of cases; insist on selecting lots with a thick growth’ of good wood. “The existing law permits a colonist to clear ae acres of stand- ing forest off his lot a year, but, as the colonist finds that the sale of wood is more profitable than cultivation of the land, he, in many cases, is known to go far beyond the five acres allowed. Where the standing timber has been touched by fire, the law allows unrestric- ted cutting, and this is a loop-hole for the unscrupulous owner. — He welcomes a little fire, which will permit him to cut all the timber that he chooses from his lot regardless of regulations, and he ane a i slash in prohibitive seasons, no matter what ‘happens, so long as reaps handsomely from his cut of wood. i re vis “It is, therefore, clearly evident that the colonists or new settlers are responsible for the large percentage of the forest fires. The Gov- ernment of the province must also accept a measure of the blame through failure to see that the laws and regulations in the aggregate e are not enforced,” concluded the speaker. The man who is more.concerned with what he gets than with what he earns, generally winds up by getting just about what he earns, which is less than he hopes for, i _ Link-Belt Company’s Improved Wood Grapple _ The wood grapple is without question the most effective and economical tool yet devised for unloading, piling and reclaiming evenly piled pulpwood and logs. It is usually handled and operated . by a locomotive crane or double drum hoisting outfit, and is adapted for wood upward of four feet in length. Earlier forms of grapples were “crude and comparatively unreli- able in service. With the demands of recent times for increased pro- duction and greater capacity, however, has come the development of g¢ pies which are capable of a large volume of work, often under fee Ever since the first Link-belt grapple was built in Chicago, more than ten years ago, it has been the company’s desire and aim to prove and perfect its design and construction.

While pro- ss has been made in the work, numbers and facilities of the fire ngers, there is yet a long way to travel before anything like per- on is attained, according’ to the facts set forth by an “Ex-Ranger”’ © now resides in Toronto. Ina recent letter to the press he makes er startling disclosures. Some timely and feasible suggestions fastce and are well worth consideration. “Ex-Ranger” CANADA LUMBERMAN 45 says that, in view of the increasing loss from forest fires in Ontario, he believes that fire-ranging, discussed from the standpoint of the ranger, may be interesting and instructive, and continues: The system of fire-ranging in use in Ontario at present-is out of date and inefficient. The personnel of the provincial service is poor. The writer has several years’ experience as a ranger and moe as a bushman. He knows that the average man who is sent out to range is the old lumberjack or miner out of a job in the Summer time, or the student—though the latter class has been growing smaller. About seventy per cent. of the men on beats do as little work as possible, and for this the so-called “old-timer” is better fitted than the maligned student. The pay of $2.75 per day, the ranger to board himself and pay his own railway fare, is not an inducement to the better class of men. There is no semblance of permanency in the service unless it be for chief rangers and their deputies. A man is on the job one year. If he can make more than the above pay he wil! not range next year. So very little pride or efficiency can be engen- dered. The writer knows of cases of men being employed for canoe routes who had not the least idea of how to handle a canoe, let alone take care of themselves in the woods. How, with a personnel of this nature, can one expect to find an efficient ranging service. It is not the fault of the chief rangers, who are conscientious, hard-working men, with too much territory to cover and the conse- quent inability to make frequent and unexpected inspections. The rangers are supposed to cut out portages, etc.—if they do this prop- erly on most beats they will have little time looking for fires. The inadequacy of methods is more or less apparent. Two men may have from 90 to 150 square miles of territory with no tower to watch from and with no telephone connection with headquarters in case they do find a fire. Under present conditions, if a fire gets a little start so that it is too large for two men to handle, they have to go by canoe or on foot to the nearest point of communication with headquarters—the return trip may take up two days—the fire in the meantime has got beyond all control. With telephone lines to head- quarters, communication could be established quickly and help rushed to the scene of the fire while the two men could watch it and do what they could in the matter. The grouping of men in camps of four or six, with beats radiating from the main camp, would help there. There would always be a fair number on hand to meet the instant need. A fire that six men could control may be beyond control of sixty or two hundred in twenty-four hours. The ranger is hampered by his lack of control over persons traveling in his district. A licensing scheme is the only one that would help this. For instance, the writer knows of instances when he knew to a fair degree of certainty the men who had started fires and when he was helpless to take action against them as there was a possibility of someone else being on the spot at the time. If an efficient licensing system had been in use, the names of men travel- ing in that part of the country could have been ascertained and the guilty ones arrived at by a process of elimination. It might even pay the Province in the long run if the onus of proving his innocence were put upon the suspect. Certainly any one acquainted with the North Country knows the utter indifference to possible fire damage shown by many of the prospectors, settlers and others. Wherever the prospector goes, he carries fire and desolation in his wake, and a good many million dollars’ worth of timber have been destroyed so ‘that a few optimistic prospectors may explore their forty acres or so of rock with greater ease. Look after the careless prospector, then cancel his license if he c4n be proved to have caused a bush fire, and fine others heavily, not a mere $50 or $75, as the usual fine seems to be. Pay the rangers well and get as nearly permanent a staff as possible, thus creating a certain esprit-de-corps and con- sequent efficiency. Build observation towers and telephone lines, and augment these with aeroplane observation as far as possible. Re-group rangers so that an effective force may be concentrated on a fire at the shortest notice, and, by a system of frequent inspection, keep the men up to their work all the time. Then, the writer be- dieves, there will be a lessening of fire-loss and a tremendous annual saving to the Province, despite the comparatively small additional outlay to cover these changes. Thurston-Flavelle Mill is Coming Along The Thurston-Flavelle lumber mill, Port Moody, British Colum- bia, which suffered from a disastrous fire about two months ago which destroyed about $50,000 worth of cut stock and storage sheds, is now cutting about 100,000 feet of cedar a day. The mill is em- ploying about 175 men. The storage sheds, which were destroyed, are being rebuilt at a cost of about $40,000 and will be completed in about two months.

The Welsh Lumber Co., 2219 Yonge St., Toronto, intend erect- ing a new planing mill in the near future. The structure will be of brick 50 x 40 feet, and will be well lighted and laid out on the most modern lines. George K. Guild has established a new industry in Edmonton, and is producing a high stiff board for making a number of industrial products from waste paper, etc. He is turning out a pulp board pulley which is reported to be giving every satisfaction. A labor mass meeting at Nelson, N.B., has appointed John Martin, M.L.A., of Chatham; Edward Tighe, of St. John, and A. Comeau, of Newcastle, a committee to wait on the lumber mill owners for a shorter day and higher pay. In case of failure to reach an agree- ment, a strike is talked of. Fire broke out on the J. B. Snowball Company’s timber limits on the Tabusintac River, about five miles east of the Bathurst road and about twenty-five miles from Newcastle. All afternoon auto- mobiles conveying men and supplies left for the scene and at day- light next morning the 350 men were reported to have-the fire under control. The Toronto sales office of the Schroeder Mills & Timber Co., which is in charge of F. J. Archibald, will be removed from the Stair Building, corner Bay & Adelaide Sts., to Room 824, in the new Federal Building, Sheppard & Richmond streets, where larger and more commodious quarters will be available. Mr. Archibald expects to be located in his new office by August Ist. Henry Atkinson, Limited, with a capital stock of $750,000 and head office in Saint-Telesphore, County of Levis, Que., has been incorporated to carry on a general lumber, pulpwood, pulp and paper business and to buy, sell and deal in all products of the forest. Among the incorporators are Donald Cameron, Thompson Atkinson, William S. Atkinson and Henry C. Crawford, all of Etchemin, Que. The outlook in the lumber business continues to be bright, according to T. J. Humbird, president of the Victoria Lumber & Manufacturing Co. Ltd., who. was a recent visitor to the big mill at Chemainus, B.C., which is operated by this company. 49) le Palmer is the mill manager at Chemainus. Mr. Humbird is the head of several enterprises, and makes his headquarters at Spokane. The first six months of this year had seen shipments from the mills in which he was interested, equal two-thirds of the total output of the previous year. P. Beauchemin & Fils, of Amos, Que., state that thei: cut this year in the Abitibi district will only be about one-third of the usual quantity. Production in the neighborhood will be about 20,000,000 feet and probabilities for the market this coming: fall certainly look like an increase in prices. Beauchemin & Fils say their mill is running at capacity and, although they have difficulty in securing workmen, they manage just the same to fill the numerous orders which they have on hand. Good laborers are paid $3.00 a day and up, according to their capacity. Recently the firm made some exten- Sive repairs and put in new equipment which will allow them to double the production of their manufacturing plant and, at the same time, enable them to handle cars with more speed. The Canadian Export Paper Co., Limited, Montreal, has issued a four-page folder in threé colors, entitled “One Hundred Years Ago.” The second page contains cuts of William Price, founder of Price Brothers, Limited, and John Saxton, founder of the “Canton Repository.” A reprint of the first edition of the paper is inclosed in the folder. Brief histories of William Price and John Saxton are given. It is recalled that the former in 1817 began operations on the St. Maurice River and the south shore of the St. Lawrence, and that he gradually extended his activities into the north by way of the Saguenay, where he became the leader in colonizing and developing the virgin forest lands. ° Demand continues for improved facilities for storing and hand- ling Island lumber at a central shipping point in Victoria, B.C. A committee, composed of J. O. Cameron, president Cameron Lumber Co. and Genoa Bay Lumber Co.; W. H. Munsie, president Shawni- gan Lake Lumber Co. and J. W. Spencer, has been appointed to make an investigation and make the necessary representations to Sir Henry Thornton, president of the Canadian National railway, when W. J. Bristow, of Comyns & Co., Vancouver, stated that owing to the lack of organization and facilities for hand- ling lumber except at the Victoria tidewater mills, it was becoming increasingly difficult to obtain adequate tonnage to handle the occas- _ ional shipments that might be sent down from an up-Island mill. Although plans for construction of a big sawmill either at Cow- _ichan Lake or at Chemainus in connection with the present plant ‘Aer ei rs were discussed recently Astwtha F, J. Palmer, manager of he ‘Vi toria Lumber & Manufacturing Co., and T. J. Humbird, sales exec tive of the Weyerhaeuser Timber organization, no official announce- ment of the company’s decision has been made. The press has an- nounced the proposed construction of a mill in the Bear Lake district — of Cowichan Lake with a daily capacity of 450,000 feet per 8-hour © shift. There is litle doubt, however, that the Victoria Lumber & Manufacturing Co. is about to extend its operations. A party of officials of Price Bros. and the Canadian Export Paper Co. recently visited Kenogami, Chicoutimi, Jonquieres and the — site of the great power development now proceeding at the Grand Discharge of the Saguenay. The party inspected the paper mills of Price Bros., including the extension of the mill at Jonquieres. Price Bros. have a large interest in the work at Grand Discharge, which — will develop power for the mills of the company, and is part of the © programme for the extension of their pulp and paper interests i the Lake St. John district. Many million dollars will be spent this development which promises to have an important bearing on the industrial life of that region. | | | Nigger That Got the “Unanimous” Letter A scared looking darkey rushed into the sheriff’s office, with a" scrawly, unsigned letter in his hand, and said: “Judge, Ah jest got to have pitection.

Nearly half the land area of the United States, some 822,000,000 acres, was originally forested, says the article, but the forested area has now been reduced to 138,000,000 acres of virgin forest, 250,000,- 000 acres of comparatively inferior culled and second growth, ae 81,000,000 acres of barren land, a total of slightly less than 470,000 000 acres. iol “Largely through timber mining,” it continues, “ hele al stand of timber has been reduced from more than 5,200 billion board — feet of virgin timber to 1,600 billion feet of. virgin timber and 600 billion feet additional in culled and second-growth stands. “Seventy-five percent. of the remaining virgin timber is west ot 9 the Great Plains, and more than 50 per cent. of all the remaining saw ~ timber is in the three Pacific Coast States, while nearly half of the lumber cut is consumed in the region east of the Mississippi River and north of the Ohio and Potomac Rivers. Lumber producing and consuming centers are so far apart that we pay $250,000,000 annually in lumber freight.” a The article traces the shifting of the timber industry from the East to the Middle West and South, and then to the West. The necessity for vigorous reforestation and for the conservation of the — remaining forests is emphasized since, according to the article, the valuable timber supply of the United States is being consumed about four times as fast as it is Deine replaced. Quebec Will Uihtorn Forest Rangers. ye Forest rangers in Quebec will be uniformed by the government, according to a decision arrived at recently. Gustave Piche, chief forestry engineer, received the first series of uniforms which are to be distributed shortly. The uniform is a greenish one with gold buttons and red stripes on the arms and shoulder. The collar is — buttoned. Only forest rangers will be authorized to wear such uni- forms, and though the distribution will not be completed this year, with a few months a great many of the forest rangers will be well — equipped. a v be Be rae: ial i ‘ be) a we f = ee Bae. & ad ai patio) Seat ft! 7 , ie hi ae ?

The pur- ose of the meeting was to unite the industry in a determined effort “to restore the prestige of the Red Cedar Shingle. The important act of the meeting was the following resolution which was proposed by E. S. Sanders, General Manager of the Vancouver Lumber Company, and seconded by G. G. Johnson, President of the B. C. oggers Association :— “Whereas the report made by Mr. Whiting discloses a very serious position in the shingle industry, due mainly to anti-shingle propaganda, and “Whereas it is evident that the propaganda will not be confirmed only to the prohibition of shingles, but will undoubtedly spread to other forms of the industry, and “Whereas steps must immediately be taken to combat the false and erroneous impressions promulgated by this propaganda of persons and companies interested financially in the sale of other substitutes for wooden shingles, and “Whereas the Shingle Manufacturers’ Association of B.

The management _ refused and paid the crew off. Thirty-seven men left work. Fore- _ men, scalers, etc., were not affected. The men had been receiving _ $2.75 for a nine hour day and those living at the boom were boarded. The rafting operations, according to the boom manager, Thomas _ Jones, were to be held up a fortnight as low water in the Nashwaak and St. John rivers made it convenient for the suspension of opera- ions. When asked if it were true that a new crew would be sent from St. John, Mr. Jones, said “no.” He maintained that there were sufficient men about Ferdericton to handle the work. Of the fifteen 4 million feet of logs to be rafted for the Nashwaak Company eight million feet have already been handled.

This blaze was confined to F rea of one hundred acres and was said to be under control. It on the Red Pine Brook in the vicinity of Gloucester Junction on eT. N. R. in Gloucester County. The fire hazard on account of yness, especially i in the north of the province, where the rain fall was light, is again mounting, although no extremely serious situation pitas arisen from the fires which were placed under control during the ow t period recently. \ commission has been appointed by the New Brunswick regie: lature to hear a claim at St. Quentin, which has been made by J. D. iets “Laughlin of Red ara N. B., against the Province of New ntin, Restigouche eee in Mey 1921. It is alleged that during Siticest fire season Mr. McLaughlin had a crew of men engaged to rect his property but these were commandeered by the forest gers in that district to fight fires there and, while they were thus d, his mill and other property were destroyed by fire. Hon. “Michaud, member without portfolio, will preside at the hearing 1 the other. members will be Messrs. Bentley of St. John, Smith ens, Young of York and Warnock of Victoria. e Department of Lands and Mines has resisted pressure CANADA LUMBERMAN 47 travel permits for entering the New Brunswick woods. This is due to weather conditions which have increased the forest fire risk. The Miramichi Lumber Company a few days ago had to send a large crew of men to fight a fire at Renous. This fire had been down for two weeks, but it broke out again. The warm breezy wea- ther is making fire risk in that section serious. A case in which Fred W. Cameron of Queenstown, is bringing suit for $5,000 damages against Fraser R. Fox of Gagetown, for alleged “malicious prosecution” was started in Gagetown, recently. The affair is the outcome of a fire at Queenstown on September 10, 1921, in which about 40,000 feet of lumber owned by Fred W. Cam- eron and Alexander Watson, Ltd., was burned together with Cam- eron’s cookhouse and motor car. Mr. Fox had a warrant sworn out for the arrest of Mr. Cameron at that time and also for Arnold Lyon of Hibernia, an employee of Mr. Cameron, charging the latter with setting the fire at his employer’s instigation. Lloyd proved an alibi, and a “no bill” was found by the grand jury in the case against Mr. Cameron. Owing to various reasons the trial was postponed from time to time. It is creating considerable interest. L. A. Gagnon, Chief Game Warden of the Department of Lands: and Mines, has been conducting investigations in connection with the recent devastating forest fires, which occurred in the north of New Brunswick. As a result six men were arrested at St. Quentin and Kedgewick and were taken to Campbellton where they will be tried on charges preferred under the criminal code in connection with setting fires. There are still a large number of cases to follow as a result of various conflagrations, which wrought havoc in the prov- ince during the month of June. In some cases permits were said to have been issued for setting slash fires, but it is maintained that the provisions of these permits were not followed out. Some trouble has arisen among lumbermen and mill operators on the Miramichi and their employes. The men are asking for a nine hour working day. Ata meeting of employes held recently 500 men were present. The matter is still pending . Aerial Economy in Forest Fire Control Economy in the methods of forest fire control is to be a distinc- — tive feature of the operations of the Canadian Air Force during the present season. Instead of patrolling the forests with a large machine, the method to be employed involves patrol by single seaters. Furnished with a wireless apparatus, once a fire is discovered instant communication may be had with the base, from which a large machine carrying men and fire fighting gear can proceed to the scene. This, it was said at the offices of the air force, is along the line of experiments with which the force is blazing the trail for com- mercial enterprise. The provinces pay the cost of operation plus a small appropriation for depreciation in the machines. Columbia $5,000. Difference Between Hard and Softwood The question as to what constitutes a “hardwood” tree as dis- tinguished from a “softwood” tree is often asked. Can we call the poplar a “hardwood” when its wood is so soft? And, conversely, can we speak of hard pine as a “softwood” when its wood is so much harder than that of, the poplar? This is a case where a term, apparently quite definite, has ac- quired an altered meaning in use. A “hardwood” tree is not neces- The air force has done considerable survey and forest fighting work for the different provinces during recent years. - Last year Ontario paid a bill | amounting to $38,000, Quebec paid $20,000 for such work and British — sarily a tree whose wood is hard, nor is every tree whose wood is_ hard a “hardwood” tree. Poplar, basswood, and tulip, or “white- wood,” for instance, are all termed “hardwoods,” wood is comparatively soft; and, on the other hand, hardpine and yew belong with the “softwood,” although their wood is much harder than that of the “hardwoods” just mentioned. The usage prevailing in the forest services, both, federal and provincial, in Canada is to apply the term “hardwood” to a tree that bears bears leaves, such as the maple, oak and ash, as distinguished although their from those trees having needle-like foilage, such as the pine and — spruce, or scale-like foliage, such as the cedar, which are termed “softwoods.” These latter are often described as “evergreens, tamarack, which is a softwood, sheds its foliage in the Autumn, and the madrona in British Columbia, which is a hardwood, keeps its foliage all Winter. Nor is the term “conifer” or cone-bearing tree, altogether satisfactory ; the fruit of the yew (another softw ood) has the external appearance of a berry. The botanical terms “Angios- perm” and “Gymnosperm”’ (as applied to trees), could they be popu- larized, would clearly define the groups of “hardwoods” and “soft- woods” respectively. +” though the ee eee ee ee ee ee ee fe P 9 nae SS ee a oa he Great Waste ai] The yearly log of one of the Pacific Coast’s large mills-—cutting No. 2 logs, shows a return of 65 per cent. of the solid content of the logs handled and, when they reached the market, 35 per cent. was lost in the process of manufacturing. The grades were as follows: 40 per cent. clears—to dry house; 30 per cent. common—through planing mill; 30 per cent. rough—sold undressed. Some of the losses were figured thus: Kerf sawdust 15 per cent.; in drying 5 per cent.; in planing 10 per cent.; in yard 2 per cent. The mill owner does not stand this loss but the logger does as this particular mill shows for the year an overrun of 9 per cent.,—or, in other words, it did not pay for the solid contents of the logs. The scale rule is so figured that a log scaled to the millman at 900 feet will give the operator a return, if properly manufactured, of 1000 feet of saleable lumber. Now is there no way that the forest wealth of the world that is fast disappearing, can be conserved? Some years ago several furniture factory owners combined and bought a shipload of mahogany logs. They had them sent to Great Britain to be sawn, The logs were sawed alive with a gang saw— using very thin heads, (and if my memory serves me right, the saws were 24 gauge.) After being sawn, the contents of each log were placed together and hooped with iron bands and again slung aboard ship for passage to Canada. It was found that there was no loss from splitting or warping and that the loss from saw kerf was less than 10 per cent. For every 1000 feet of logs bought in the South, the furniture factory owners had landed in their yards in Canada 900 feet of lumber. This lum- ber was conserved, nothing but the bark was lost, and this was re- moved before the logs were shipped. The mill already referred to, cut during the year 1922 in round figures 50,000,000 feet of lumber. Suppose by some change in mill construction and machines, the loss of 35 per cent. of the solid con- tents of the log was cut down to 25 per cent., the mills output would then be 5,000,000 feet more. This extra 5,000,000 feet would net the mill $30.00 per M.,—a tidy sum to add to the profit side of the year’s transaction. The Average Through the Planer ; Can this be done? I believe it can. Spend a few hours in any of the large mill yards and watch the planer feeders passing 2 x 4 and other sizes through the sizers. Put your rule on these and you will find they average considerably larger. Possibly 2-1/4 x 4-1/4 would be the measure of 50 per cent. of the run, and, at the other end of the planer, you find a finished product of 1-5/8 3-5/8. The same applies to 1” lumber. 50 per cent. of this would measure in the rough 1-1/8” thick, to finish 3/4” thick. Fast feed in the sawmills makes this over-size necessary as the saws snake more or less in cutting, and to make sure that all will be stout enough to dress, liberal allowance is made. The mahogany owners had the 1” boards cut small inch thick. and easily got a finished thickness of 3/4” in their factories. In place of having their boards put through an edger, they left them the full width of the logs, many of them running from 24” to 30” wide. Why would it not pay the millmen to manufacture the lumber for the trade in standard sizes; door stock cut close to size and run to exact sizes; sash stock the same, using up all the mill shorts in this way. Hardwood millmen are being compelled by scarcity of timber to manufacture down to the smallest piece to make ends meet. Furni- ture and other trades are delighted to buy in large quantities smalls and shorts cut to rough size for their different products, enabling the millmen to cut up even the slabs into some useable and saleable material. : Softwood Men and Wastage The soft wood mills will have to face this same problem in the near future. Logs are scare to-day and are going to steadily (even if slowly) advance in price until the day will arrive when the mill owner will turn a piece of bark over several times to see if he can- not make something out of it. The good material sent out through this mill’s wood yard would, if utilized, supply a toy factory with all the material to keep a staff-of 150 toy makers busy the year 8 CANADA LUMBERMAN ii of Lumber Wealth By M.

Could not other use be found for this material before it reaches the stove wood grate? ws Twenty-five years ago I was making a specialty of manufacturing — hardwood chairs with a one-piece solid seat To get this material — it was found necessary to buy from the farmers, chiefly in the winter _ time, short hardwood logs to be cut in our factory. The planks were _ carefully cut 1-3/4” thick and planed on one side to 1-5/8". The — balance of the logs were cut in chair stock for the lathe in sizes down to 3/4” x 3/4”, and still smaller pieces, 1/2” x 1/2” for dowels, were made, so that little of the logs beside sawdust and bark reached the steam boiler furnaces. The man, who can show the softwood mill- men how profitably to cut down as close as we did the hardwood or to get 80 per cent. of the solid content of the log, will surely be in — the millionaire class in five years. I have not sufficient knowledge of the mill business to attempt the job, but from recent investigation of present methods, I am astounded at the enormous wastage. Keeping Ahead of Mail Order Houses As a rule men who study selling methods and go after trade in a scientific way are not generally disappointed in results. Every line of goods on the market has stiff competition to meet and the retail lumber merchant is no exception. He must study selling methods as carefully as do the automobile companies, the talking machine people and the furniture men. His strongest or perhaps it would be better to say his most aggravating competition is that of mail order houses. The catalogues issued by these concerns are well illustrated giving the sizes of the different articles, their prices, — the kind of wood used, etc. __ . hair? a Retail lumbermen in the smaller centres where these catalogues are more frequently found say they do not fear the mail order firms, and yet business is being taken from them every day. "They say that their prices are just as attractive as the catalogue quotations. In fact on some items, such as doors, they are cheaper than the city firms. What then is the inducement for the suburban public to buy from outside concerns. Surely it is not because of ill feeling toward the dealers of their own town. . Pey ' The Rise and Fall of Lumber Centres The disastrous effect of a forest policy which compels the lum- _ ber industry to migrate from place to place is to be found not only in the forest itself and on the farm, but, also, in the larger towns. Pitbroughout Eastern Canada there are many towns once growing and prosperous, but now declining and discouraged because the sawmill, _or other wood-using establishment, has gone out of business, through the failure of forest supplies. They are in the condition which the commercial traveller so aptly designates as “dead.” Many other towns have been saved from a like fate by the coming of railway _ shops, by development of the waterpower site or because their geo- _ graphical situation made them natural trading centers for develop- _ ments in agriculture, mines or pulpwood farther to the northward. +The older men will at once recall illustrations of what I mean, but for the benefit of the younger men let me give one example. _ Forty years ago the town had a population of 1300. Then came a “sawmill or at least the old mill was rejuvenated and enlarged. In _ ten years the town had a population of 3,000 and in another decade 4 it. had reached 3800. From this point the output of the mill declined 4 and about 15 years ago the work became spasmodic and finally the mill went out of business because the river valley had been logged out. The population decreased with the declining fortunes of the . mill until now the town has less people than it had 40 years ago. : Stores and shops have been abandoned; whole streets have vacant, i ” tumbled-down houses. Discouragement and despair are written everywhere in that village—in the faces of its people as well as in the condition of its streets. J This town, like many others, is the victim of an administrative 3 policy on the part of the government which regards a forest only as sO many trees to be cut and not as a restorable resource capable of producing crops indefinitely when properly treated. The river val- % fins had and still has forest soil enough to support three such towns _ as the above at the time of its best development, under intelligent % use and conscious effort to keep the forest continuously productive. 3 Community Development Based on Wood ¢ _ The influence of the forest on community development is some- _ thing very real and tangible in the cities and older ‘settled portions of the country, as well as in the more rural and pioneer districts. _ In fact, our whole development, industrial and social, is based upon wood. 2 i bya ago we spoke of the age of steam and the age of electricity, but now we are in the age of wood, the product of the forest. We can neither eat or sleep with comfort without coming into contact with or using in some form the products of the forest. e cannot go to business or use the materials of our office without _ being impressed by our dependence upon wooden articles. Even in . our relaxation at the movies we look at impressions on a film, into = whose composition a wood product has entered. Pe Notwithstanding the popular conception to the contrary, we are _—) a Pap Se =~. Sith eS becoming each year more dependent upon wood products, instead 3 of less so. The introduction of substitutes does not keep pace with new and extended used of wood. I believe this ratio will be main- tained for years to come. I mean the forest has not yet rendered its maximum service to the industrial needs of man. As I have _ already indicated, the forest forms one of the chief supports of our _ economic structure, being second only to agriculture as a wealth 4 "producer. Yet through indifference and ignorance we are letting that support slip out from under. The impending disaster will be - great; it will, also, be unnecessary. ieueeveral. indirect influences of the forest are important in the ; lopment. of the community. Thirty or forty years ago the fer portion of forestry propaganda concerned itself with the eficial effects of forests pon climate and streamflow. Then fol- misinterpreted and exaggerated. But now the pendulum is inning to swing toward its original position. The extraordinary pies that has taken place in the past two decades in which CANADA LUMBERMAN 51 not only the forest has been removed, but in many cases the soil that bore it, has led scientists to re-examine their data with the result that many now believe the forest does exert a_ beneficial influence upon the humidity of the air in adjacent open areas, that the forest cover regulates drainage and the flow of streams.. There are many evidences of this in Eastern Canada in the drying up of wells and streams. These may be transformed from intangible to very tangible influences upon the community, when they modify waterpowers, the navigability of streams and production. How People Love the Green Forest An increasing number of people visit our forests and _ forest parks each year for recreational purposes. This influence of the forest in giving renewed health and vigor to thousands cannot be measured. And they give more than this. They give a point of view, a philosophy of life that is beyond price to the community. It is the green forest that people love, not the burned: and fire scarred. We hear no more common regret among tourists and campers than that such and such lakes have been spoiled for their purposes by forest fires. It seems to be the ultimate fate of most of our forest areas that they shall be burned. If this devastation goes on the playground function of the forest will largely cease, and the penalty in weakening the moral fiber of the community will be great. Let us return now to the consideration of the treatment of our forests. The natural forest soils and the intermediate soils in Eastern Canada probably comprise some 150 million acres and they far sur- pass in extent the purely agricultural soils. Much the greater por- tion of our timber and pulpwood has come from soils of the above mentioned class, yet in Ontario at least they are cut under a system designed for agricultural development after the lumberman had fin- ished his work and in no Eastern province is there an adequate pro- vision on the part of the government for the re-establishment of the forest removed by the lumbering operations. The results of such a policy, already being acutely manifest in Eastern Canada, are as inevitable as they are logical. It is far from my intention to belittle the splendid work in forest planting now being carried on by certain pulp and paper companies, nor the magnificent program of reforestation now in operation at the instigation of the Ontario government, nor the results of a fixed diameter limit in cutting operations as enforced by the governments of Quebec and New Brunswick. They are, however, only subordin- ate parts of a really adequate and effective forestry program. What Adequate Forest Policy Means By an adequate forestry program [I mean one that will keep — our forest lands continuously productive in terms of commercially valuable trees. An effective forestry program for this country can never entirely depend on the planted product of worn out agri- cultural soils or of burned out forest soils; its broad foundations must ever lie in and rely upon natural forest soils as maintained in — the forest. Forestry to be successful should chiefly concern itself with forests, not with barrens. The fixed diameter limit, in spite of some advantageous aspects, does not insure the regeneration of commer- cial apecies_and such regeneraton is fundamental in an adequate © forestry program. We can, if we wish, mementum until they exhaust themselves. the passing of spruce as we have watched the passing of white pine as a leading lumber product. We can sit back and take only what nature undirected may give us, just as the farmer might have done and just as the manufacturer might have gone on without improving his processes. We can, of course, use inferior woods. let matters run on under their present furnish our houses with slats sawed from poles and saplings.; we — can make paper of willow soots or even from grass. Such argu- — ments, however, are not worthy of Canadians. They indicate a vision on a par with that of the men who forty years ago argued that the Western prairies were little better than deserts and would never — support a farming population, or the men who twenty years ago claimed there could be no rich ore deposits in northern Ontario be- cause the rock strata was not the proper kind, or the vision of the men of more recent date who claimed that aircraft could never be successfully used for aerial patrol or for forest mapping. Men of Vision Have Built Canada No, the arguments of the timid have never prevailed for long in Canadian councils. The history of Canada is largely the history of men of vision who had faith in their vision and worked for its accomplishment unceasingly. It is as true today as in the days of the early French explorers, or in the time of the struggle for respon- sible government, or the days of the Confederation | fathers; it. is true of those who settled the prairies, who developed the mines, and We can calmly watch 3 We «can — re ——. ) Me 1 | 52 CANADA LUMBERMAN 0 of those who built up the great lumbering and pulpwood industries. I feel confident that the same quality of vision will be displayed in the co-operation of the lumbering and pulp and paper. interests and the government in bringing about an effective forestry pro- sram based upon an adequate regeneration of the commercial species as a result of the logging operations. Such a program would natur- ally vary with varying conditions, but its general principles would be of uniform application. In justice to the operator, it, also, should be of uniform application in all the Eastern provinces or, at least, for each class of products competing for the same market. An effective forestry program would doubtless restrict somewhat the present methods of cutting which would mean that the cost of the product would be higher, but the public would be the beneficiary of a sustained yield and, therefore, it would be reasonable to ask the public to pay for it in higher prices for lumber, pulp and other forest products. The prices under an adequate, controlled yield, however, would be more uniform and cheaper for the public in the long run than the inevitable panic prices under the knowledge ot vanishing supplies from the forest just as the individual pays for security from los of life or health or loss from the destruction of his buildings from fire. The sooner the public understands this, the better for all con- cerned. Would Maintain Continuous Business Under an adequate forestry program we could meet our present demands indefinitely, or in other words our present half billion dollar business in forest products could be maintained each year so long as the sun shines and the rain falls. Is not that an object worthy of a great deal of thought and effort, especially when we know that under the present treatment of the forest the lumber and pulpwood business can not be maintained at its present level very much longer? There is another consideration. We are growing rapidly in population and will undoubtedly consume larger quantities of forest products—a probable increase which our forests will be absolutely unable to supply if present methods are continued. There is still another consideration. Our outside markets are growing. In fact, they already consume a very large portion of cer- tain products. Why not prepare for extended markets in the future, or in other words, why should not this country go into the business of raising forest products to compete in the markets of the world as wheat, beef, butter and cheese for the same purposes? Nature could hardly have done better by us in preparing the way for ‘conscious effort in continuous forest production. We have a climate that grows trees with fair rapidity. We have 150 million acres of soil in Eastern Canada better adapted fo tree crops than for farm crops. “And think of the transportation facilities in that vast area! At the southern edge of it, a great river already navigable to ocean traffic for nearly a thousand miles inland. Navig- able to boats of 14 foot draft for an additional 1400 miles inland. Perhaps some day navigable for the-entire length of 2400 miles by ocean-going freighters, if the proposed St. Lawrence ship canal ever becomes more than a dream. At frequent intervals along the entire length of this great river, tributaries come from long distances to the northward. Some of these tributaries are great rivers themselves nearly 800 miles long and furnish log-driving channels for more than 80,000 square miles of forested country. These river valleys, also, form natural routes for railways that penetrate into the hinterlands. At least three through lines traverse a large portion of the area from east to west. No other forest region of its size in the world is so accessible by water and by rail. With an adequate forestry program, we could in the future replenish the diminishing supplies in the Eastern states with lumber and paper made in Canadian mills by Canadian labor. We could doubtless extend our lumber trade with Great Britain and there are also South American markets that might be still farther developed. No other forest region in the world contains such a large num- ber of commercial species and so widely adapted to various uses, or has so large contiguous areas so well provided with transportation facilities and so easily accessible to great and growing markets as that of Eastern Canada. This vast area properly stocked nd under intelligent use for forest purposes could supply the markets of the world. Shall we accept the challenge which God in his wisdom has laid before us? Now, to recapitulate, 1 have tried to point out to you some of the influences which the forest exerts upon the individual, the com- munity and the nation. The greater portion of Eastern Canada was designed by nature for the growing of forest and nature originally covered this area with a magnificent and valuable forest. It was a great heritage, but now greatly impaired. Our great task is to restore it and maintain it and establish within its boundaries a per- manent population and permanent industries. The forests have played a major part in the upbuilding of our country. They form today the broad foundations of our industrial prosperity.

I appeal, therefore, to every Canadian to protect the forests.” The lines of the Canadian National are the greatest carriers of forest products of any railway in the world. — The latest record covering twelve months shows over 11 million tons of lumber, pulpwood, logs, posts, ties and paper. This com- pares with 5 million tons carried by the Canadian Pacific. The total traffic supplied by the forest to all Canadian railways for twelve months was in excess of 22 million tons. — Peachey | No Canadian commercial interest is so intimately identified with the safety of the forests as a railway carrier. From the mil- lions of wooden track ties, the scores of thousands of telegraph poles, the fifty to sixty million feet of lumber for buildings and repairs, a modern steam road is a forest creature and cannot run a mile until it first has called on a timberland for essential supplies. The future of the railroads is so intimately tied up with main- tenance of the forests along their lines that experts look upon every forest fire in railway territory as having the most serious possible bearing upon their earning capacity. 3 L Hh s y With every timber tree taking on new value in a rising world market, the forest resources, which the C.N.R. and C.P:R. tap © throughout such a large part of their territory, promise to develop freight traffic far beyond anything as yet realized. The “fly in the ointment,” however, is the fearful record of forest fires, most of them set by campers, fishermen, prospectors, etc., which are ruining the timber resources nine to ten times as fast as they are being cut. Although millions of tons of pulpwood have been cut and ~ shipped on Canadian railway lines, probably nine times as much has been destroyed by human-set fires. b, ea a The sportsman, the prospector, the settler and all other users of _ the woods have the power to maintain or destroy the future revenues of the railways from forest products. This does not take into con- sideration the menace of forest fires to tourist traffic for, after all, the tourist patronizes- Canadian railways because of the lure of the woods and not to inspect our city streets or our factories.

Ottawa Market Picks up Considerably =~ An improvement in the tone of the Ottawa lumber market was noticeable during the opening period of June when orders became more plentifiul and a brisker demand made itself felt. Prices in all grades remained firm and the outlook was encouraging, several pa § reporting that they expected good business about September and, _ the meantime, there would bea steady volume of trade. The biggest improvement noted was in the domestic market, _ where stocks of practically all grades were in demand. Another en- 3 couraging feature was the undertaking of considerable new building late in May and early June. Merchantable red and white pine, spruce, and pine culls were principally in demand. The condition of the Montreal wholesale market, Ottawa ship- pers said, could be better and they would be pleased to see it as 9 Seema as the Toronto and, the markets at other Ontario points. - With the improvement in early June, manufacturers were inclined _ to believe that the slow business of the previous six weeks had been _ but a temporary lull. ae The situation in regard to the American market did not show Pe much general change, the demand from this quarter remaining about the same as it had been, which was slower than during the early part of the year. American yards, it was stated, had stocked up some time ago when warehousemen slashed prices and undersold. When these stocks have become exhausted, Ottawa shippers believe there ill be a return of normal business and a considerably larger number of orders and inquiries. Another view expressed in regard to the ? . 5. situation was that American yards and builders were turning g Bhi southern pine and native grown woods. Conditions with the South American trade continued irregular. ere being only a few orders, which ranged from 50,000 to 300,000 et for pine and spruce. Most of the pine orders called for Ottawa ‘alley pine, and the sprtice orders for spruce from the Eastern m Townshi Ss. ee ohipping to the English and European market continued fairly ive, the shipments being forwarded being those which had been dered aie months ago. Shippers to the English trade, stated - ined about the same. Labor for the sawmills was reported plentiful. In some sawmills an advance of ten per cent. over last year’s wages has been put into effect with the base wage being three — dollars per day. Several companies reported good progress being made with the drive, under favorable conditions. The supply of rivermen, it was asserted, was adequate and the level of the Ottawa river and its tribu- taries was such that few, if any of the bigger drives experienced any trouble through low water. Transportation conditions both by rail and water showed no change. Montreal Reports More Activity in Some Lines After a period of comparatively slow business, the Montreal | market shows indications of greater activity. Following the break | in the building programme in the United States, due to the abnormal demands of labor, buyers of lumber there stayed their hands. Now that conditions in the U. S. have been placed on a more stable basis, s : the orders are once more coming to hand and in some cases the lum- ’ : , ‘ _ ber is required for immediate shipment. While the general outlook is satisfactory, advices from some parts of the province do not speak optimistically of the position from ~ the farmers’ point of view. ‘Crops are in a backward state and prices © for cattle are by no means remunerative. The result is that the © farmers have no surplus funds, and this condition is reflected in slow — collections. This, of course, affects the lumber in common with — other industries. At the same time there is a considerable amount of building proceeding in the towns and cities of the province. The spruce lath market is easier, but the large mills are not inclined to make concessions. : Exports are on a fair scale, all the shipping firms sending mod- erate quantities. There is a great activity at Three Rivers, over” twelve million feet being exported by one company during a month. Th spruce lumber was loaded on four tramp vessels. q The revival in building in Montreal is illustrated by the figures K for the first six months of the year. The permits for June were — $2,226,015, bringing the total for the half year to $15,464,520, com- pared with $9,142,774 in the corresponding period of 1922. With the exception of February and June, each month showed an increase. Some of the permits are for large amounts, several important. struc- tures being now under construction. The revival in building has — undoubtedly been helped by the understanding as to wages arrived — at between the employers and the men. There has not been any friction this year, and it is also stated that the men are more efficient — than they were. There is in some directions a shortage of help. In view of the possibility of a prohibition of the export of pulp- wood it is interesting to note that for the two months of the fiscal year—April and May—the exports totalled 187,967 cords valued at $1,713,125, as compared with 124,778 cords and $1,216,631 in the cor-— responding period of 1922. en ao" Quebec Export Firms are Busy Shipping Quebec lumber export firms are busy shipping timber and sawn lumber these days to the United Kingdom. The export trade up to F the first of July is said by the shippers to be 100 per cent. better than in 1922, and 150 per cent. in advance of 1921. Up to the end of June fourteen ocean steamship freighters were loaded with timber — and deals at the port of Quebec, the principal shippers being the ~ firms of W. & J. Sharples Limited, and John Burstall & Co. These — firms expect to ship to the United Kingdom all the wood ordered — by the British importers last winter, by the end of July, and then be © free to get ready the restock for midsummer and fall shipments. . The biggest cargo shipped from the port of Quebec for some ~ years past was taken by the SS “Romera,” which sailed from — Greenock on Wednesday June 27th, the “Romera” carrying 1,400- — 000 feet b.m., timber and deals, the firm of W. & J. Sharples Co., | Limited, shipping 760,000 b.m. in timber and 40,000 b.m. in deals, ; and the firm of John Burstall & Co. 600,000 b.m. timber. 4 In the meantime the inquiries from the United Kingdom have slowed down, there being no demand from the middle to the end of June. This is explained by the reports received by the Quebec ~ export firms from their United Kingdom agents who say that, while ~ business in all departments of trade is steadily increasing and the timber trade this year is being conducted on more normal lines in (Continued on page 56) Sh Ao arte ees “eee ee eee ee ee ee ae F 54 TORONTO White Pine (In Car Load Lots, F.O.B.

It is, therefore, hoped that a change will shortly take place in the political situation, no matter how complex _ it may seem in the present, that will end the tension and ultimately influence a settlement that will allow Europe to set her political and economic house in order and stabilize the trade and exchange con- ditions of the world. In the meantime from expert reports received, Great Britain is taking care not to embroil her political and economic interests. She has slowly but surely been creeping back to normal, and 1922 paved the way to confidence. This can be judged by the timber and lum- ber market generally, and, for the past year, England never had a better period since the outbreak of the war. With everything under present circumstances, although not altogether assuring, is thought by many, in a position to know, to be sufficiently stable to make it probable that no drastic change in values and business in general would take place except for the better. Although house-building has been progressing steadily in the British Isles, especially in England and Scotland, there is still a _ dearth of houses in England. It is anticipated that there will be a boom in this direction before the end of the year. However, Brit- ish trade and prosperity are not dependent upon the conditions of its own country. These are improving steadily with the aid of the increase in the export trade, though there is nothing very hope- ful yet in the position of her neighbors on the continent, but, in other parts of the world where international animosity has subsided, pro- gress in trade is now rapid and Great Britain is reaping the benefit. The consensus of the expert opinions received by the Quebec trade is that,.on the whole, there is a better feeling of confidence and optimism in England to-day in comparison to a year ago, with, how- ever, one bad feature, the constant grumbling of labor, the high wages and the spread of Socialism to prevent British trade running in old grooves. : . Conditions in Ontario are Seasonably Quiet wt There is not much change in the general market situation, and _ business is moving only according to the necessities of consumers rather than stocking up for the future or engaging in any speculative . buying. The retail trade is rather quiet and materials are not going out as fast as some expected. This has not caused replacements to any large extent. Most mill stocks are now in shipping condition and are being sent out from the yards to those consumers who are sorting up several lines. There is still a scarcity of certain sizes in dry lumber. A few retailers are resawing and resorting to sub- stitutes rather than enter the market at the present time. There are two or three reasons for this and one is that the back- ward spring and cold weather caused the usual amount of business to be deferred, and then most yardmen feel that it would be advisable _ to wait until a good harvest is assured and it is definitely known what the trend of autumn prices will be. The market in spruce lath is a little weaker but white pine lath are holding their own although there _ will not be any big call until a little later. Building operations are _ proceeding satisfactorily in all the different centres although June _ did not witness any increased activity. It is believed that lumber _ prices will hold their own from this out and that the recent slowing up in purchasing will have a stabilizing effect on fall trade. Speaking of the situation generally, a close student of market _ conditions remarked recently, so far as Ontario production and dis- _ tribution are concerned, that the stage was set for a fair business _ this fall and he believed that the lumbermen would share in the _yolume. The increase in production so far this season had been _ very small in spite of all reports relating to augmented output. Some mills up north had to close down recently for several days owing to the slow drives and unavailability of logs. Others started off a month behind this spring due to low water and the backward season, and would not cut as much as anticipated. Fundamentally and basically, the industry is in a sounder posi- _ tion than it had been for years and is now approaching what might > > MS CANADA LUMBERMAN | Ge a pats RR Cie a Se A an 4, be called a normal state of affairs. Those, who bought with sp lative intent or with an enlarged vision of appreciation in val made a mistake and now realize that their conception of conditio was widely astray. ee A leading wholesaler said in a recent interview,—‘One favorable feature in connection with the lumber line is that stocks generally — in the hands of distributors are much lower than in previous years and this will tend to equalize matters during the fall. A steady mar- — ket with firm prices can, in my opinion, be looked for throughou the coming months. Everything tends toward shaping up the year’ operation as fairly satisfactory. While 1923 trade will not be pro- ductive of large profits or heavy returns, it should result in all ex-_ penses being met and all branches of the activity conducted without the considerable losses that many producers and distributors under-— went in the liquidating and unloading processes of 1921 and the - early part of 1922.” POmOMGm G@WelInos “Vale. bys cet geese eens $2,100,000 f Sem meaaGToret (CASt 1.165.

See ees lee ee ee 275,000 ‘ a al d Industry Now Getting in Normal State Regarding conditions and market outlook on the Pacific Ccast a representative Western Lumberman, in a recent interview, took an optimistic view and summarized matters as follows: “There is a good deal of talk, at the present time, about the peak having been reached and the slump started, but I wish to assure you there is nothing that warrants giving this rumor any credence from our Own point of view. : Local building in Vancouver, which is not a prosperous place and has not been for several years, is just as active as it can pos- _ sibly be. I argue, if this is true in the city of Vancouver and it is - possible to find money to do building, to the extent they are doing it in residential homes, in Vancouver, then it surely is possible for any other district to find the money for the same activity in building. This view is sustained by the amount of dimension that is mov- ing to the Atlantic Seaboard. They are taking it there in ship- loads and, while it may be true that structural building and office _ buildings may be held back on account of the high price of steel and cement and laborers’ wages, there is no reason in my mind for us to fear that the dwelling house building will let up at all and I think that the agricultural condition will gradually improve along > _ with industrial activity. To put it in a nutshell, I feel that, for the _ first time in a great number of years, we are really. beginning to get _ into a normal state. We find that labor seems to be in a more peace- able mood than it has been at any time for years past and I have every reason to feel that we are settling down to a good steady grind, as we used to before the upheaval of the World’s War. Our situation is so far improved over anything that has gone in the past _ that there is no comparison. The ability we have for shipment by water:to the Atlantic Seaborad has revolutionized our lumber situa- tion on the Coast and made it possible for us to go to quantity pro- — duction.” Ticket the Campers New Forest Rule The Government of New Brunswick has issued a proclamation declaring that people entering the forests of that Province until next November must take out a license to do so. This action brings New ae fetes _ Brunswick into line with the Province of Quebec in providing an official check on people who visit forest country for the purpose of “travelling, camping, fishing, picnicking, or other purposes.” Peo- ple who do so must first register with a local warden, game license _ vendor, or other official authorized to issue permits under the law. ir This action is deemed necessary by the Government in order to prevent forest fire damage resulting from the carelessness or thoughtlessness on the part of those. entering the forest on pleasure ent. The adoption of the registration regulation is not an attempt the Government to keep people out of the woods or to deprive fisherman, camper, or hunter of his annual vacation.

Dis- _ cussing it from the point of one interested in the production of news- _ print, an official of one of the largest companies in the Province of _ Quebec expressed doubts as to whether it would be possible to carry _ out effectively such prohibition. He stated his belief that the purpose _ would be more efficiently served by a law putting a tax of say $5 a cord on the wood exported. This would, of course, restrict the port to a certain extent but it would raise a substantial revenue _ on what was sold. While some American mills would be unable to _ pay such a tax, in other instances the profits were sufficient to still _ leave a margin. His objection to the prohibition was mainly based _ on the view that it would force many American newsprint mills to locate on this side. He admitted that this looked like an unusual _ objection, as such mills would give more employment here. On , other hand it must not be overlooked that Canada was already yy ell supplied with mills, and that new ones would immensely in- % crease the production of newsprint, with the result that the newsprint _ indus’ y would be subjected to greater competition. So that while at fetes there would be more labour employed, and our pulpwood resources med at a far greater rate, there was, on the other side, the certainty that the newsprint companies would be under the n of ruinous competition, with a general disturbance of that ry. _An export tax was not subject to such an objection. It would invite reprisals, for the reason that the States were practically ound to come here for a substantial part of their newsprint supply. vould also give the farmers a wider market than under a prohibi- v, and would enable them to obtain better prices.

BF _ Lumbering operations are to be carried on during the summer | _ months in several parts of New Brunswick, although it has been the eustom to cut the logs and haul them during the winter months. _ During last spring the heavy snow in the southern portion of the _ province made it necessary to curtail the cut, and several operators * found themselves without sufficient logs to keep their mills running during the summer. In order to supply their wants in this dicection, _ several firms will have logging crews in the woods for the summer.

Will Canada Get Too Many Mills P The views of men connected with the Canadian pulp and paper industry on the prohibition of the export of pulpwood are to a large extend influenced by considerations which have little or no bearing on the merits of the subject. These considerations have relation to the affiliation with American pulp and paper companies. While American capital is largely invested in the Canadian industry, the main interest of those investors is on the other side of the border. Such men desire that American mills should continue to have free access to ‘Canada’s raw materials; they have been forced to build plants on this side of the line and are opposed to any further pres- sure which might result in other mills being transferred to Canada. The other side to the controversy is that the Dominion is los- ing every year enormous sums by allowing its wood to be exported as raw material. Canada is the logical country for the production of pulp and paper and there is no reason why it should supply the essential portion of the product to be manufactured into the fur- nished article, thus losing millions of dollars which would otherwise be spent in employing Canadian labor. At the same time there are those who fear that the construc- tion of additional mills in this country will mean increased competi- tion in newsprint, because of the larger production, and that the There are already signs that in the near future Canada will be manufactur- ing more than the market can absorb and it is argued that, if Ameri- can companies are compelled to come here, there is certain to be a drop in price. The Federal Government has promised to safeguard the interests ef the farmers and settlers by allowing them to export the wood i an Anas + & a, sa ee Ay aXe, CS sah a) i 66 CANADA LUMBERMAN Be tpt a .

Mr. Lyons urged, among other things, that the export of hardwoods should be prohibited. recently while the crews of men were fighting forest fires along New Brunswick and Quebec border. The last of the Campbell- mills to shut down was the Shives Lumber Co. who sent 200 men o fight a menacing blaze across the interprovincial boundary in Que- ¢ for which assistance had been asked. ~ One hundred and four thousand Canadian school boys have been yanded into an army of guards to watch for and prevent forest fires in the Dominion this year, according to an announcement made by the Canadian Forestry Association. The new organization, which i ‘known as the Young Canadians’ Forest League will, it is ex- pected save several million dollars’ worth of timber from fire ravages. _ The boom in timber in British Columbia continues to gain in momentum, according to government returns of the industry for the nonth of May. ‘During that period the Government revenue from 1m iber licenses, hand loggers’ fees, sales, scale and royalty, amounted o $245, 431. For May 1922 the total was $249,909 and for May 1921 he figure was $108,011. Fire destroyed a saw mill and considerable quantity of lumber belonging to D. C. McLean at East Lake Ainslie, N.S. The blaze peteated from a spark from the engine, and alighting on material covered with waste oil, quickly ignited. Although a number of men en ployed in the mill attempted to extinguish the fire, it spread so idly that nothing could be done to salvage anything within the Iding.

The “Caterpillar’* Logger has no equal for power, sure traction, rugged en- durance, and low cost of operation. Its design and construction are the result of Holt’s long experience and exact knowledge of all the different conditions and requirements encountered in hauling logs and pulpwood over snow and ice roads, and all other conditions in Northern lumbering. The “Caterpillar’s” record for actual accomplishment is of vital interest to every Northern lumber and ‘pulpwood manufacturer. On the operations of The Abitibi Power & Paper Company, The Mount Murray Woodlands Cor- poration, The Anglo-Newfoundland Development Company, The Great Nor- thern Paper Company, and many others, the “Caterpillar” Logger has proved its ability to continuously haul heavier loads and at lower cost than can be hauled- by any other machine or method. The Anglo-Newfoundland Development Company, Grand Falls, Newfoundland, say— “Your Mr. Davis is about to return after being with us during the winter months in charge of our 2 “Caterpillar” Tractors, and I am unable to let him go without a few lines thanking you for sending a type of man such as Mr. Davis. “No doubt he has reported to you the very successful tractor operations just finished in which we hauled 11,000 cords with our 2 “Caterpillars”, and with only a 3% hour holdup for any trouble from December 19, 1922, to April 14, 1923. Our tractors averaged 15 hours per day, and we only lost 1 day, Sundays included, be- cause of bad weather. “On one trip over a snow and plowed road, the “Caterpillar” Logger hauled 9 sets of sleds containing 57 cords and 1 cord horns. The “Caterpillar ” pulled the load over 4 miles without any help, took all the curves, and tracked very well, time 2.15 hours, and kept back all loads going down grade. Total weight 130 tons in- cluding sleds.” The latest “Caterpillar’ Logger contains new features of strength and operat- ing convenience, making it farther in the lead than ever before. Our unequaled service facilities are at the instant command of every Canadian owner.

In that time it is only natural that I should have noticed how my buyers in turn, handle the product I have sold them. Maybe I have wasted a lot of time thinking about other peoples’ troubles, but somehow the difficulties of my retail friends seem very near to me. When I sell a man a car of material nothing pleases me better than to listen to him relate how pleased his customers were with the quality of the lumber. Sometimes, however, when calling upon a firm, I open the office door and find a different atmosphere entirely. Often an argument is in full swing and the language floating around makes even an old campaigner like myself actually blush. I have an instance in mind that happened about three weeks ago on my territory. All unsus- pecting and tender-hearted I opened the office door of a customer and the unharmonious hullabaloo that issued forth told me that my mission would be postponed for a while. However, having ventured that far I stepped in and this is what I saw and couldn’t help but hear. Leaning over the counter was a big, red faced contractor whom I recognized as a chronic kicker. With his right hand he was pound- ing the counter and saying in a loud voice: “How in h do you think we’re going to build houses if you people keep raising prices. And another thing, I can get this siding around town cheaper than that.” The last remark was accompanied with a pound on the state- ment which was lying on the counter. By this time I could see with half an eye that my customer was about as angry as a cat with glue on its hind feet. According to the law of averages the situation called for an old time free-for- all, with the possibility of a couple of perfectly good straw hats torn to pieces. Situations like this one was not new to me, and they gen- erally ended as I have suggested—with the bitterest of feeling. But this argument took an unexpected turn. Until this point, the con- tractor had been doing most of the talking, and in a very loud voice. When the breathing space arrived the merchant moved up to the counter. “Look here, Mr. Ashby,” he said politely, “I can give you cheaper material than that, but you would only bring it back and kick up just as much fuss as you are now. ‘The trouble is, you go around to some of these fellows who will sell you anything, irrespective of whether you'll be satisfied with it or not, and then you come back here and practically call me a thief. The truth is I’m a friend to you and your interests by giving you the best material for your needs at a fair figure. I have noticed that you give these price cutters considerable business when the issue is seemingly unimportant, but you come to me for real service on the particular jobs. You know as well as I do that these fellows can’t fill your all ’round needs the way they do business, and yet you'll pass me up to save a few pen- nies and cause all this ill feeling. I’m never prejudiced to a thrifty business man, but I hate to be used,” he added with feeling. ; “To my mind the builder who picks out a reliable firm and does business steadily with it, making friends and building confidence on — both sides, is much farther ahead than the man who jumps here and © there at the shortsighted inducement of a few cents,” concluded the merchant. ; Some comeback, eh? Now I’ve heard many replies to such arguments as this contractor put forth, but never before have I heard such an intelligent one as this. Whether friend contractor was con- vinced, there is not the slightest doubt in my mind, although I have not heard yet. He paid the bill right there and bid the retailer good day in a short, but exceedingly ‘polite manner under the circum- stances. When he had left I shook hands with my friend, the retailer, who had been a customer of mine for years. “Mr. Dalton,” I said, ‘that’s the first time I ever heard an argument over prices in your office.” “Well, it is a rule with me to have these little tiffs in private, but this fellow got ahead of me this time and I had to preach my sermon right here,” he replied. “I’m glad you heard it though, be- cause T've. been trying to dope out something like that for him for a long time, and if I’m not mistaken he’ll be a better man to do busi- ness With now.’ “IT haven’t a doubt in the world™that’s what will happen, Mr. Dalton, because you’ve convinced me too,” I agreed. He looked puzzled. : “Vve convinced you too?” he queried in an uncertain voice. “Sure, this is the first place I visit after hitting town. You see I can’t help dealing with you, Mr. Dalton,” I laughed. “How about that car of shingles you said you'd be needing abot this time?” “Well Pil be. darned,” he said good humoredly. “J works both ways.” guess it ‘ Y a fon) of UT e te : BR Be ort ee a so ne ae 7 =. . hee : f 70 —— ! f ES ees .dams American Anderson Lu Lumber Co.

The vigilance of the fire rangers kept 53 per cent. of these down to a size not exceeding five acres, But yet the total area burned was over 346,000 acres—equal to a strip of forest one mile wide from Toronto to Cochrane. Of the total number, only 52 were lightning fires. In other words, out of every 100 fires, 59 were due to man’s carelessness and were pre- ventable. Accordingly, the problem of forest protection in Ontario calls for the co-operation of the whole citizen- ship of the Province. If reasonable care be exercised by everyone inthe woods to prevent the start of fire, our forests will be safe. Railway officials, campers, prospectors, lum- ber firms, settlers, construction firms—all can help by being careful of fire in the woods, and by joining hands with the press, the leaders of public opinion, and the business men of Ontario, in prompting education- al propaganda to reduce forest fires.

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

CANADA LUMBERMAN The LOGGING TRACTOR HE illustration above pictures one of the trains, hauled by a Linn Logging Tractor, for the T. S. Woollings Company, Limited, _on the way to the dump. The Woollings Com- pany moved five such trains per day—with one Linn Logging Tractor—their haul was seven miles in length, and they had a continuous up- grade ranging from five to seven and one half per cent, and they moved over eight thousand cords, with one Linn Logging Tractor, in Fifty- five days—and they not only did all their plow- ing but they portaged all their supplies for their fall and winter (1923-24) operations as well—and, not crediting the portaging, their haulage of their wood was 5144 cents per cord, and this included not only their deprecia- tion and all fixed and operating costs, but it also included road preparation and maintenance and loading and unloading costs. We are not specifying this individual operation for reference, we have so many operators, and we will gladly furnish the names of one or all of them, for reference to the wonderful power and performance of the Linn Logging Tractor. The Linn Logging Tractor last winter hauled 90% of the wood that was moved mechanically in Canada—it not only did that, but it moved its wood and saw logs at a lower cost than any other method employed. On the main haul. Seventy-four cords on the way to the dump This is the eighth of a series of photographs taken in Ontario and Quebec last winter, where Linn Log- ging Tractors were in operation—the ninth will appear in the August First issue of this magazine. ““Ask the logger who uses one” —Logging Department— MUSSENS LIMITED Philips Place Building Montreal Toronto, August 1, 1923 H.

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

Let us quote you also on our new “Hamilton” Vertical Steam Feed V4lves. VALVE CONTROLLER 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 annoyane= 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 on securing an article that will fill many a long felt want. Yours truly, . (Signed) D. B.

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

C. Scofield, president of the Wind- sor Lumber Co. Limited, Wind- sor, Ont., and former president of the Ontario Retail Lumber Deal- ers’ Association, he is uncertain while walking up the path, whether he is entering a beauti- ful flower garden or a model lum- ber yard. Around the front of the building roses in various colors are blooming and there are decorative plants which add to the inviting character of the surroundings. Mr. Scofield is an enthusiastic floriculturist as well as an aggressive lumberman and believes that beauty and utility can be combined with splendid effect and decided advantage to a retail lumberman. ‘There is a _J.

Another improvement recently effected is in regard to fire pro- tection. ‘There is no litter left around the factory floors and a-small, frame fire station was erected recently in the yard, a short distance from the mill. Of the Swiss style of architecture and nicely painted, it contains a hose reel with 500 feet of regulation, standard size hose, couplings, etc. The hose is attached to a hydrant and the reel can be run out at a moment’s notice. Chief C. J. DeFields, head of the | Windsor Fire Department, when called up by Mr. Scofield and told about the completion of the new fire station, was asked to give it a number. He shouted back,—‘Well, this is Friday the 13th. We will call your station 13!” In connection with the Windsor Lumber — Co. Mr. DeFields has organized a local fire brigade with a chief, — deputy chief, reel men, hydrant men, hose men, etc. Drills are held periodically and efficiency is the watchword in reducing fire hazards to the minimum. It will be remembered that Chief DeFields delivered an interesting © and instructive address before the members of the Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association on the occasion of their annual con- vention held in Windsor in January last. He spoke on fire protec- tion and his helpful remarks will be recalled by all who had the pleasure of hearing him. One more improvement which the Windsor Lumber Co. has carried out, is the installation of a drinking fountain in the yard. | Formerly when the men outside wanted to quench their thirst, they | had to make a rather long trip to the mill. If engaged in loading ~ or piling possibly the absence of one employee would entail others — remaining idle until his return to the job. The drinking fountain is_ centrally convenient and now only a few seconds are lost in “wetting | up” whereas many minutes were previously consumed.

No cause for alarm in the fact that Canada, by allowing foreign- ers to exploit its raw pulpwood, is supplying fifty or more foreign pulp and paper mills, in competition with our own, with cheap raw material and that Canadian workers are being thereby forced to follow the raw material out of the country in order to find employ- ment in its conversion. No cause for alarm in the fact that we have already this year sus- tained the greatest forest fire losses in Canada’s history, with the possibility of having the whole of the northern forest area of Ont- - ario, Quebec, and New Brunswick completely devasted PeHDEe the _ year is over. . No cause for alarm in the fact that immense damage was sus- _ tained by our power and storage dams in the spring, due solely to } the same cause, nor in the fact that many of our large ‘industrial plants are forced to close down or to run on part time only for four or five months in the year owing to lack of water. No cause for alarm in the fact that our agricultural industry itself is menaced by the condition that is fast approaching and that threatens to turn our crop-growing lands into vast deserts. Heavy Fire Losses Through Carelessness The bona fide settler is undoubtedly entitled to every reasonable _ consideration, yet it is to be considered that Canada’s losses during the first few weeks from forest fires, many of which originated in the _ carelessness of settlers, approximated $100,000,000 without taking _ into account the enormous potential value of the young growth des- _ troyed, while on the other hand, the total: annual receipts for land _ sold to settlers in the province of Quebec, where the losses are great- : est, only amounts to about $100,000, against which the province f spends i in the neighborhood of $2,000,000 in assisting the settlers and _ in building roads and bridges for their accommodation. : How much better it would be to confine these settlers to land ! already cleared, of which there is great abundance, where their oppor- - tunities for starting fires would be negligible and where they will find not only an immediate market for their produce but nearby _ opportunities for employment, such as that afforded by the pulp _ industries, in their off seasons. It is to be noted that former Premier Drury in the recent Ont- _ario election made use of this cry of protect the settler’s right to _ sell his wood where and how he please and spoke against the em- _bargo. The results show that the argument was not taken seriously _and, indeed, I have received many letters from Ontario saying that it contributed to the defeat of Mr, Drury and his government. Another honorable member of the House voiced fear of Ameri- can retaliation if Canada took steps to protect its rapidly dwindling supply of pulpwood. This can only cause humiliation to a people who have behind them the history and the prestige of the greatest _ world-power ever known, the British Empire. In addition to that, it is pure bunkum. When have the politicians of the United States waited for a cause for “retaliation” when it was to their interest to put the screws on Canada and to bar out practically everything which ' we could export to that country except such things as they are _ obliged to have, including raw materials and pulp and paper? We Bin, c a remedy for this, if we would use it, in building up an inter- » Empire trade. oe? ha Embargo on Coal is Bogey The anthracite coal bogey was also brought out in the discus- of reprisals i in the shape of cutting off our coal supply being held up yefore us. So long as the American coal producers have coal to sxport—when not at the mercy of mine and railroad strikes—they ae CANADA LUMBERMAN ~ . > ee aa ze ‘Canada Should Not Allow Outsiders to Kx Exploit Her Raw Materials © _ Canadian coal market just out of spite, but it does prove that when — ment has undertaken to impose, is that the largest investments in sion, our alleged dependence on the United States and the possibility ° oe Pee aay a gi vote eon x are only too glad to supply the Canadian market. It is only a short time ago that G. H. Cushing, one of their largest coal operators, publicly stated in Montreal that the American Coal Producers valued highly the Canadian Market and were prepared to fight for it, if “meces- sary. If the Alberta mines he said, reduced their price 25 cents a ton, the Americans would cut theirs 50 cents , and if the Welsh mines, — which have recently found a market in Canada, reduced their price one dollar the Americans would cut theirs two dollars. This does not look as though the Americans would deprive themselves of the our parliamentarians talk of a coal SELVES they are using political eae bunk. tn The pseudo plea for the settler is off the same piece of punleum. He An embargo on pulpwood will not injure the settler; it will greatly benefit him, The value of his wood will not deteriorate and. in a short time the market he now has in the States will be transferred to this country. No one, by the way seems to be concerned about the mechanic, the tradesmen and the laborer, all of whom suffer” ‘injury when raw materials which ought to be worked up in this: country, are allowed to be shipped away. Surely their interests which are __ numerically much greater, are entitled to at least as 9 _considera- ee tion as the settlers’. ‘ si No one seems to have given consideration to the intereses ‘of the railroads, or the fact that the added increased revenues from addi- tional freight that would follow the development of the pulp et. if this raw material now exported were worked up at home, would be sufficient to wipe out the present deficit of the Canadian National Railways. A carload of pulpwood shipped out of the country means a carload of freight and nothing more. A carload of pulpwood con- verted into paper in Canada means four car- -loads- of ie going into and coming out of the mill. Le ea Pulpwood Famine. Fast Develupine: Still another honorable member undertook to compare pulp- wood with wheat and other farm crops and to say that interference — with the exportation of one was no miore justified than with the other. He overlooked the fact that we have a surplus of farm crops but are fast developing a famine in pulpwood. He failed to mention that a farm crop can be reproduced every year, while it takes from fifty to a hundred years to reproduce .a crop of pulpwood. Their.is no — analogy between the two. It was also suggested by an honorable _ member that pulp and paper interests might be using the writer — to further their selfish ends. In reply to this, I will say that I will pay — ten thousand dollars in cash to any one who can show where one single dollar, paid or promised, has been contributed to the forest conservation campaign carried on by me, other than the $100,000 or more which I have expended out of my own pocket, or can show that - there is or has been associated with me in the work any individual or interest who had any profit to gain by the work I have carried on. In so far as being interested on behalf of any pulp or paper industry is concerned, I would add that if I had my way not another live growing tree would be cut in Canada for twenty-five years for any purpose whatever. I have advocated this policy in many of my arti- cles on this subject. I know this is not possible to bring about and that the cutting of trees will continue while there is a tree-left standing. The next best method to adopt is to see that what trees are cut shall be manufactured in ‘Canada so that Canadians may at least reap the full benefit of their own devastation. ; ‘The fact must also be borne in mind that with increased invests ments in pulp and paper mills we should have far greater forest pro- tection than we do where only pulpwood operators, who have no interest other than to get the wood shipped out of the country at the wh smallest possible cost and who, leaving nothing but a lot of slash and ~ inflammable debris ‘behind them, are the chief beneficiaries oe our. present forest policy. Load of Taxation Will be Lighter Gee A further argument in support of the embargo which the Govan new mills in Canada which will follow its enforcement will augment considerably the federal and local revenues derived from income and other taxes and thereby assist in lightening the load of the Canadian tax-payer, which everybody agrees, is altogether too burdensome. No one will be injured by the embargo, not even the pulpwood - dealer. Just as much wood will be sold and used, as long as the supply lasts. The only difference will be that it will be sold to be i - manufactured in our own country instead of going to enrich another. it only takes eight months to erect a pulp mill and a six months’ _ period allowed before the Act takes effect there will be ample time for readjustment. A six months latitude will allow for the shipment of all wood now on hand and it takes another six months operation to _ prepare a new cut. ~_In conclusion,. let me point out that an embargo on pulpwood is only the first step towards the proper conservation of our forests and the regulation of their utilization. I predict that we shall have Eto go much further and that within two years the authorities will ' find it necessary to prescribe both the number and the size of the trees that any holder may be allowed to cut from his holdings, _ whether private or public. In this connection, I would point out the a serious mistake that is being made in allowing half rates on stump- age for fire-killed timber. This creates a temptation for some of the smaller operators to allow fire to run through areas which they intend working, which some of them find it impossible to withstand. With the comparatively small amount of live growth now remain- _ ing, cutting should be confined wholly to dead timber just so long as CANADA LUMBERMAN | “4 the same is fit for use, and there should be no reduction in the stump- age rates on that account. We have already too many temptations _and incentives for forest fires. Some selfishly or political actuated people have said, in oppos- ing the embargo, that we must not interfére with private rights ignoring the fact that, at worst, less than two per cent of our people would have their rights affected in any way, while those of the remaining 98 per cent would be immeasurably benefited by the new legislation. It is not possible for any country to adopt laws that do not in some measure infringe on private rights and on personal liberty. Hunters and the fur industry are very drastically controlled in Canada, so are fishermen and the fishing industry. In Heayen’s name, then, why hesitate to control the most important and vital resource we have and without which there would be no fishing, no hunting, very little agriculture and not much of anything else. This. is not a question of free trade, reciprocity or protection, as some of our politicians would try to make it, but is simply one of national self-preservation. Under present methods we are rapidly heading towards national suicide. Yours, etc., Frank J. D. Barnjum. Significance of Proposed Pulpwood Embargo The pulpwood situation at Quebec which has been attended with satisfactory results since the month of May during which period the fare shippers have done a fair business in the export trade with the American mills, has again received a check up by a shortage of cars, presumably caused by the railroads getting together their roll- _ ing stock for assembly in the west to move the grain production of BY 3 the prairie provinces east for export shipment. On the whole the Baeonebee pulpwood dealers have done a good export business to the United States mills from May last to the beginning of June, and were in hopes that they would have shipped all orders in fulfilment of their contracts by the end of July if the railroad transportation ser- - vice had continued. It would apepar that it is only of late that the _ American paper mill operators have come to understand the signi- _ ficance of the proposed Canadian Government embargo on the export of pulpwood out of Canada, and are now getting busy placing orders _ for wood to be shipped to their mills before the embargo is applied. In the meantime, the newspaper interests of the United States, ’ backed by the smaller American paper mills and manufacturers of newsprint, are through the U. S. government putting up a fight to _ arrest, if possible, the placing of the embargo. The fear on the part aot the mill operators is that they will either be compelled to move their mills over to Canada or go out of business. The newspaper 4 interests take the viewpoint that an embargo by the Canadian gov- _ ernment will augment the price of newsprint which they contend is _ already abnormal and, if further increased in price, will force many small publications and job offices in the United States out of busi- “ness. The cry has gone forth through the columns of the American _ press that the imposition of an embargo on Canadian pulpwood ex- _ port will mean the dealing of a decisive blow to American newsprint 4 - industries and that many mills, now almost entirely dependent upon a Canada for their pulpwood, will be forced to close down. The gravity of the situation to the United States newsprint in- = pecuty is emphasized by the fact that since 1912 production in the - United States has been practically constant while Canada has in- Bs creased her output three times and that exports from this country to _ the United States were 83 per cent. _ The Canadian Government takes the position backed by 90 per e ent. of the Canadian people that the exploitation of Canada’s forests has assumed a serious aspect, and must be protected, and if their Canadian wood assets are to be developed by American capital for _ American utilization, Canadian labor should be, at least, employed. But there are other and more serious questions to be considered when the embargo is discussed by the United Statese newsprint interests as well as the Canadian pulpwood exporters to American - mills. It is pointed out by the Natural Resources Branch of the s Jepartment of-the Interior on reports based on comprehensive sur- = eys published in regard to the forests of Nova Scotia and British Botranch and an inventory in course of completion by the Forestry _ Branch of the same department of the Ontario forests, likewise by mination of the considerable areas of forest lands in the Prairie es rovinces and the forest services in the province of Quebec and New mswick of which data is being collected, information of which, however, is still far from being complete. Based on these surveys, a tentative estimate of the remaining timl a supplies of the Dominion has been given as follows :— os Sea pepraices 310,000 million feet ,b.m., softwood; hard- Re ane a Tt a wood, 90,000 million feet, b.m., total 400,000 million feet, b.m. Prairie Provinces 140,000 million feet, b.m., softwood: million feet b.m. hardwood; total 225,000 million feet, b.m. British Columbia, 360,000 million feet, b.m., softwood, and 1,800,- 000 ft. b.m., hardwood; total 361,800,000 million feet, b.m., or a grand total of 810,000 million feet, b.m., softwood ; 176,000 million feet b.m. hardwood, in all a total of 986,000 million feet, b.m. The foregoing estimate includes all classes of timber, saw mater-_ ial, pulpwood, ties, poles, fuel, etc., whether accessible or inaccessible, and it is estimated that of this about 560,000,000,000 feet b.m. is of saw timber size. The species used for the manufacture of pulp is estimated to be 800,000,000 cords of spruce, balsam, fir and western hemlock, and 980,000,000 cords of jack pine, lodge-pole pine, eastern hemlock, poplar and cottonwood, a total of 1,300,000 cords. About 600,000,000 cords of this is in Western Canada. Included in the pulpwood estimate is 500,000,000 cords which is also saw material which will, doubtless, be used to a considerable extent as lumber. Is the Pulp Wood Accessible These figures are undoubtedly impressive and likely to lead people to believe that there was little need for Canada to worry about the problem of diminishing or inadequate wood supplies. But the Natural Resources Branch of the Department of the Interior, points out that the question of accessibility is the most important factor for consideration in connection with Canadian forest resources. The material fact, however, is that under present conditions whether more than one-half of the saw material and one-third of the pulpwood, exclusive of the Prairie Provinces, can be considered commercially accessible. Then again, the average amount cut without reforesta- tion must be considered. The average amount cut is, approximately, as follows :— Lumber 4,000,000,000 feet b.m.; pulpwood (4,000,000 cords) 2,000,- 000,000 feet b.m., fuel (8,000,000 cords) 4,000,000,000 feet b.m. Shingles, ties, poles, etc., estimated at 1,000,000,000 feet b.m., a total of 11,000,000,000 feet b.m. It will be thus seen by comparison of the above figures that Can- ada has not a timber supply for an indefinite period and any conclu- sion to the contrary is unwarranted. It may be that the estimates will be reduced when more authentic information is secured, and ‘that a large proportion of the timber can probably never be operated at a profit, and that, under the present system of exploitation, a great deal of wood is wasted, not to speak of the devastation by fire, insects and fungi, destroying many times the amount of timber used. 85,000 An increase in unemployment was reported recently at the Pro- vincial Employment Bureau, Quebec, due to the return of a number of lumberjacks. However, according to officials of the Bureau, the prospects are good. A large percentage of the lumberjacks who have returned to Quebec will proceed again to the lumber centres for the driving season. Heavy construction will also start again by the middle of April and the expectations are that the season will be a good one. The Superintendent of the Employment Bureau said he expected that at least 2,000 men from the city and district would find employment for several years in the Lake St. John district, through the construction of the Grande Decharge and the Kenogami dams. viene eS +. eis 7 shin *2 4 <~ 2B CANADA LUMBERMAN 2 eee on Hardwood Logs Hon. James Lyons, of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., who is at the head of the Lyons Fuel & Sup- ply -Co,,..Lumited;is “hae mew Minister of Lands and Forests in the Ontario Government, suc- ceeding Hon. Beniah Bowman. THe has always taken a deep interest in the welfare and pros- perity of the Soo and has a wide acquaintance with the northern Advocates Embargo country, its requirements, de- velopment, opportunities and potenitialities Hon Mr. Lyons was born in Virginia in 1878 and has resided in ‘the Soo for the past twenty-three years He has- been engaged in various lines of business for the last fif- teen years and started the fuel and supply business, of which he was the head, in 1912. The firm have been in the lumber and tim- ber line during these years on a small scale and enjoyed a splendid reputation for service and value. Mr. Lyons is a public-spirited resident of the Soo and served two years as Alderman and three as Mayor. He has long devoted con- siderable thought and attention to forest resources of the north, hav- ing retired recently from the presidency of the Board of Trade. He says that in the district of Algoma, there are 200 townships surround- ing the Soo and these townships are estimated to contain six billion fleet of the choicest hardwood. Mr. Lyons strongly advocates the prohibition of the export of hardwood from Ontario, and, in a recent interview with the “Canada Lumberman,” said :— “We have not been manufacturing hardwood in the north to any great extent in fact, it has been considered that the bulk of our hardwood was only fit flor fuel purposes, but some of the largest American manufacturers who have been using this hard- wood, advise that the birch is the ‘best on the North American con- tinent for veneer, furniture, etc. The result is, they have been secur- ing large tracts of hardwood in the last year or two, and at the pre- sent time in the District of Algoma, there is one contract in exist- ance, which calls for fifty million feet of hardwood logs, to be fol- lowed by another fifty million feet upon its completion. There is another instance where they have contracted to take out. 10 million feet of logs per year for a number of years. “They are taking out the logs in preference to establishing mills here. This gives employment to thousands of men in the United _ States that should be getting employment in Ontario, and is depre- _ ciating the resources of the Province without getting anything in _ return, as all that is left on the land when they are through is the brush, ‘and in many cases we are paying fire rangers to safeguard the standing timber left on other limits from the danger caused from the burning of this brush. Hon. James Lyons, Sault Ste Marie ’ “We believe that if the export of hardwood logs was prohibited, now that the American supply is practically depleted, that the North Country and the Province in general, would receive largely the same benefit as was received when the export was placed on pine and pulp- wood, and many American manufacturers, who are anxious to take our hardwood out of ‘the country in logs would locate in the Province.” Want Pit Props as Return Cargo Acting Trade Commissioner, Douglas S. Cole, of Bristol, Eng- land, in a letter to the Department of Trade and Commerce, Ottawa, on the coal situation and the demand for pit props, says.— The difficulties of shipping Canadian pit prips into the highly competitive South Wales mining area are well known. An investi- gation was made by the British Board of Trade shortly after the outbreak of the war, when it was concluded that Canada could not profitably compete with the pitwood supplied to the United King- dom from Scandinavia and the Bay of Biscay, one reason being that _~ much of this wood which is suitable for pit purposes has a definite value in Canada owing to its pulpwood qualities. Again in 1922, when the same question arose after considerable correspondence with the Canadian Lumbermen’s Association and many Canadian ship- _ pers, it was found that Canada could not compete with Newfound- land owing to price, nor with southwestern France, Spanish, Portu- _guese, and Baltic competition owing to high ocean freight rates.

Ross, Canadian Trade Commis- sioner, Melbourne, Australia, sends an interesting review of trade conditions in that country during 1921-22. Referring to the imports. . of Canadian timber he says: 5 The importation of timber into Australia in 1921-22 amounted “4 to 22,900,609 feet of dressed timber and 168,976,596 feet of undressed timber, or 191,877,205 feet, combined. In “indressed timber, Canada yy is credited with 17, 579,302 superficial feet, which is greater by over. i 5,000,000 feet than ‘such imports from the Dominion in any previous - year. New Bee supplied 47,234,577 feet, and the United States _ 94,129,093 feet of undressed timber, but the imports from “both coun- tries were considerably less than in the previous year. In dressed timber Norway and Sweden supplied almost the whole of the impor- “a tations, which were less. than halfthe quantity ‘imported int the Te a vious year. 4 In 1914-15 the importations of timber were vated at £2, 153, 469, and declined to £1,722,035 in 1915-16, to £1,490,025 in 1916- 73 and to £1,412,119 in 1917-18. The value substantially increased to £1,- - 850, 544 in 1918- 19, to £2,478,315 in 1919-20, and to the highest amount yet recorded, £4 920, 202 in 1920-21. In the year under re-_ view (1921-22); the value fell to £2 473,705 or less than for any year. since 1918-19, While the imports of timber from Canada i in 1921-22 were considerably larger in quantity than in the previous ver owing to lower prices ruling the value was £82,408 less. - The trend of the importations from.

Today the tractor has reached nach: a stage of perfection that we do not hesitate to purchase one because we know that the experi- mental work has been completed and they are a proven necessity. We are faced here in Canada with a problem which is unique, in that we are permitting it to continue; namely, the building of our streets and roads last, we erect our houses first and then build the roads. To a country where economical transportation means so much and where we must conquer long distances in the shortest _ possible time we surely are slow in correcting this evil. Since the termination of the Great War we have faced an ever rising cost of operation in everything concerning building and yet one of the means of cutting our costs has been sadly neglected; and that is, the improvement of our roads and streets and more particu- larly the latter, for over them the retail lumber dealer must travel in order to deliver his products. Thus we have the reason for so many lumbermen purchasing tractors to-haul their loads to the jobs. Quickly and concisely it is summed up in these words, “more power to you.” The name trac- tor” is significant of something powerful, an engine developing great draw bar pull and slow of movement, but not so slow as to ‘be a Its road speed is somewhat lowered because of the greater tractive effort at the rear wheels, vet the road speed is left at - a reasonable rate. Where the Tractor Can Travel Another feature worthy of due consideration is the fact that the weight of a tractor capable of hauling a certain tonnage is much less than that of a truck of the same rating. This then will permit of the tractor traversing roads which to the truck would be impass- _able. As the weight carried is usually on a vehicle separate from that _ generating the motive power it is reasonable to say that we can go over ground which would not bear the combined weight of truck and load. Due to their comparative short wheel base and ease of operation - we find tractors replacing the team on single horse for yard work, as well as being used for long distance delivery or inter-yard haulage. Then again when unloading cars which are at a distance from | the yard, the usual two-wheel yard trucks can be used and a continu- ‘ous circuit of loaded and empty trucks can be maintained between | _ the cars and the yard so that even when the car has to be sorted and distributed to different parts of the yard, one can maintain a direct circuit with as little lost time as possible by placing the trucks at BB ZcriLicn Tractors | WC WARBURTONS CO Per Soe Apr ts Retail Lumberman and His Delivery Problem | —Delivering Lumber by Tractor— By L.

In these articles it is not the desire to bring forward the merits of one system more than another, nor to submit arguments for the trucks or tractors which tend to speak more favorably of one par- ticular make than another, yet in writing on this subject one cannot help but ponit out that tractors equipped with caterpillar treads would be the most suitable for logging operations and in the woods where snow, ice and unmade ground make the going particularly difficult. That is the only point we will advance regarding using tractors in the handling of lumber apart from retail yards. This article would not be complete without some reference to their use in the production end of lumber manufacturing. We recognize that our readers are not all retailers hence the preceding suggestion regard- ing tractor equipment. The Various Uses of the Tractor In the purchase of tractors for your yard it would be necessary to study many types and various component parts of equipment as no two yards will use their tractor equipment alike. For example, some yards would use tractors as purely yard equipment, for hauling from yard to mill and pile to pile. Others again would deliver by means of tractor and trailer, while others will haul from their mill to other yards in various parts of the city, so that the installation of tractors and equipment will depend upon the use to which it is to be put. Should any readers of the “Canada Lumberman” desire expert advice on purchase and installation of tractors ad trailers we will be pleased to assist them and advise for their proper equipment. ‘It has been our desire in this as well as in preceding articles, to point out some few ways in which tractors are used to-day in deli- very of the products of retail lumber yatds and, in the near future, we will give some idea of the cost of operating tractors compared with delivery by truck. The forests of the province of Quebec which were closed for several weeks owing to the outbreak of forest fires, have now been reopened in certain sections. Permits are being issued by the for- estry branch to certain persons desiring to enter the woods. but these permits are granted only after a careful examination of the applicants. A warning is also given that they must be very careful not to start a conflagration. Gradually with the danger of forest fires diminishing, the remainder of the forest area will be reopened and permits issued those who enter the bush. Scientific management is not a machine that can merely be “‘in- stalled” and expected to produce results. It is, indeed, a principle that must be learned for its successful application. >] a Bs ~ a a ‘a5 a: 7. % ussions of Much 1922, when Haileybury was was recalled recently in Toronto, by a Justice Orde, in the action brought by Seiaiel’] McChesney and son of Timmins, against the Neate Can- The memorable fourth of October lestroyed by forest fires, judgment delivered by Mr. d adian Power Company, Limited. The case was tried on October 2nd, 3rd and 4th at Haileybury. As it was drawing to a close the heavy pall of smoke made the courtroom dark. The case closed at 2.45 in the afternoon. At 3.45 Mr. Justice Orde was forced by the imminent threat of fire to adjourn court. In ee hour and a half thereafter the courthouse was a pile of ruins. r. Justice Orde car- ried the record of the case away safely, and ee gave judgment dis- missing the action, which was to recover $4,011 68 damages for in- juries caused by flooding the McChesney saw mill at Timmins Land- ing, in fou 1921. The saw mill-was built not on the parcel of land ow acct by the McChesney outfit, but on the road allowance along the Matagami River. The power company has a dam at Sandy Falls, nine miles down - the river, and several controlling dams higher up, above Timmins Landing. It was alleged that these dams caused a flood in April, 1921. Mr. Justice Orde holds that there would have been a flood anyway, that spring. He further holds that the saw mill being upon Crown lands, the defendants are not entitled to recover any damages. Legal Dispute over Lumber Cut A case of Phillips vs. Corey arising out of a lumber dispute was concluded recently in the Queen’s County Circuit Court when the jury brought in a verdict in favor of the plaintiff. More than two years ago John L. Phillips entered into contract with Jason A. Corey of Cole’s island, to cut and deliver to the bank of the Cain’s River, certain logs, the said logs to be delivered by May 1, 1921. Corey, it is.'said, agreed to pay $8 per 1,000 feet, the bills to be paid after the lumber had been measured. The logs were duly cut and surveyed and the amount agreed upon was 208 000 feet. After considerable details as to the working of the agreement, a misunderstanding as to the lumber cut and other details had been gone into, the jury re- turned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff, awarded him $696.51. Mill Destroyed and Lumberman Enters Suit Nine witnesses gave evidence before the commission appointed by the New Brunswick Legislature to investigate a claim of an unusual nature made by J. D. McLaughlin, of Red Rapids, N.B., against the province for $75,000. The hearing took place at St. Quentin, Restigouche County, N.B., recently, before the commission, which was made up of the following: Hon. J. E. Michaud, chairman; A. F. Bentley, Fred W. Smith, John A. Young, and G. W. Warnock. After taking the evidence the hearing was adjourned to take place in Fredericton at a later date. A. T. Leblanc, of Campbellton, represented Mr. McLaughlin, who is claiming compensation for the loss of his lumber mill, and property at St. Quentin, Restigouche county, in May, 1921. It is alleged that during the forest fire season, Mr. McLaughlin had a crew of men engaged to protect his property, but these were taken by forest rangers to fight fires in the vicinity, and while they were thus engaged his mill and other property were destroyed by fire. Mr. McLaughlin gave evidence, and officials of the Crown lands department were also heard, as well as several of the people of St. Quentin. i Hon. Mr. Michaud said that the evidence would be carefully __ considered by the commission,-and that a finding would be made,and submitted to the Government. / ops — Newsy Paragraphs from the East “3 According to late figures published as to the approximate loss during the devastating forest fires, which swept through the pro- = vince of New Brunswick recently 350 to 400 square miles of territory "= OF approximately one quarter of a million acres have been burned. _ ~ No official information is as yet availab le, but the members of the _ Department of Lands and Mines are actively engaged compiling statistics as well as the various private owners and~lumber .com- panies are doing likewise.

It started in the woods at a place where lumber operations had been -carried on di ing the winter. With dry weather prevailing and a strong w: blowing the surrounding woods were soon a roaring fire. Councillor Shanklin organized a band of fighters and before many hours the blaze was under control. It is estimated that about fifty acres : burned over.

This obser- vation with respect to attractiveness applies not only in a personal “way but to office premises, factory, mill yard and general sur- roundings. Too often does the retail lumberman seek to build up trade amid surroundings and buildings that are neither a credit to himself nor _ to the community. When everything is kept spick and span favor- ____ able notice is called forth and the indirect effect cannot be measured. _ The Southwestern Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association is inaugurating a competition in well-kept lumber yards and, in seek- ___ ing to draft conditions whereby a friendly contest will be conducted is dding a work that will be far-reaching in its results and one that is worthy of emulation. ; \' i = e _ No one likes to buy lumber at a dilapidated, run-down-at-the- f heels yard any more than he likes to transact business with an un- _-__ Shaven, seedy-looking salesman. Women buyers are particularly ae attracted by a yard or office that is right up to the minute in appear- -_ ance and appointments, and it must be reckoned that, in these days of _ home-building and special built-in features, which embody the use of r ERE lumber, the lady of the house wields a deal of influence. ‘ In this edition of the “Canada Lumberman” there appears the I picture of a model yard in Western Ontario where the front is adorned with vines, shrubs and flowers. ‘The effect of the example set by this concern is that it has encouraged similar effect on the art of others in the same line and had an influence in improving the ole community. It is important for every lumber dealer to “keep his premises neat and tidy. Paint is a cheap and easily applied com- _ modity and yields big returns on an investment. Fences and build- ings that are well covered always point the way to better business. Exterior embellishments make a lumber yard inviting and even _ imposing, and when the yardman does something practical and pro- “gressive, he is the pace-maker in a town or city. No yard that is “decorated” with weeds, rubbish, loose ends and general litter, ever inspired anyone to build or to. undertake, as our rural friends would a8 a “slickening-up process.” - Some may term such things as frills, geegaws, etc., but neverthe- _ less they have an effect in raising the tone and standard of any cen- Where some alert and far-seeing. retail lumberman points the CANADA LUMBERMAN tig hat a ou ms : eo Ae ae et ait T™~ way, he shows that he possesses the ability to lead and direct the energies and actions of others as well as map out a course in his own career that inevitably spells larger business, better service and | satished patrons. In every way it pays to make the lumber yard and office attractive and keep them so that they are show-places rather than an eyesore or a relic of better days. Should Be Just Before Generous On another page the arguments for and against a prohibition | of. the export of pulpwood are summarized. After all, the views of } those interested in this question are mainly determined by their com- | mercial affiliations. It is certain that the representatives of the American companies, who are so vigorous in their protests against I the threatened embargo, would take a widely different attitude were the positions reversed. The United States has little regard for other nations when it comes to a question of protecting her industries. The Fordney tariff is an example of the lengths the extreme Protec- tionists will go in order to keep out foreign commodities, many of - the provisions being aimed at Canada, one of the best customers |) of the States. When, however, this country takes power to prevent |) her forests being depleted in order to supply our neighbors with raw material, Canadians are accused of enacting legislation which is characterized as “an unfriendly act.” Some statements made to influence public opinion in the United States, are, to put it mildly, very misleading. For instance, it is ¥) asserted that Canada is endeavoring to secure a monopoly of the paper trade of the continent, which is manifestly absurd to those who have even a limited acquaintance with the facts. Canadians buy very extensively from the United States and are likely to }) for many years, because the mills make certain lines which are not ‘manufactured in Canada and because the lower prices made possible by the heavy production of American mills. The prohibition of the export of pulpwood is a purely Canadian matter, and must be decided from the point of the interests of the |) Dominion. The main question is: can we, in view of our diminish- ing supplies of pulpwood, afford to go on supplying the United States with the raw material to be made into the finished product, © giving employment to American citizens, in preference to our own peoples. — There may be reasons why, as some Canadians believe, this country should not enforce this embargo, but these have to be con- sidered in the light of what is best for. the Dominion. The followers of Mr. Barnjum would not hesitate in putting an embargo almost at once, regardless of every other interest. The Government has announced its intention to appoint a Commission which will hear all sides, and although Commissions are undesir-— able as a rule owing to the necessary delay in coming to a decision, — in this instance it is probably a wise step so as to give an opportunity — for all interests to place their views before the public. It may be pertinent to point out that unless more efficient mea- a sures are taken to prevent forest fires, Canada will have compara-_ tively little pulpwood for her own use and certainly none for export. Disaster Awaits if the Forests Go One of the greatest menaces facing Canada today is the pro-— gressive destruction of the forest resources. The most expert infor- mation shows that ten trees have been wasted by human-set fires to one tree utilized for the service of the Canadian people. This spolia- tion of what is, in the main, a public owned property, of great immedi- ate utility and quite indispensable to the future of our country, can- not be permitted to proceed much longer. If we are willing to recog- — nize the damaging consequences of forest waste, surely we are will- | ing, as co-partners in Canada’s progress, to put a stop right now to a form of public robbery that must be checked if the nation is to sur- vive, says Sir Lomer Gouin, ‘Minister ofi Justice, in a recent state- ment. ; The forest is the most destructible of all our natural resources. Had it not been for recurrent conflagrations started by human care- lessness Canada today would undoubtedly have been the richest forest owner on the globe. Forest scarcity has bred high prices and keen demand, so that every square mile of timber in this Dominion may be said to represent potential employment, municipal develop- ment, traffic for our railways, home markets for our farmers, and — other valuable commercial gains. It is useless to argue that forests are private property, for eighty five per cent of the forest area of Canada is owned by the people: Even were forest protection noth- ing more than insurance on the existance of paper and lumber com- panies and the newspaper industry, the claim on a Canadian citizen’s co-operation would be hardly less sensible.

Joyce, wholesale lumber dealer, Montreal, in a re- cent interview with the “Canada Lumberman.” “This has been due,” he added, “to the fact that many mills have been playing a temporarily advancing market for all it was worth. Some of these mills have boldly confessed that they expect to retrieve this year all they considered “losses” during the two years preceding 1923. In several cases, however, these losses on the part of the mills were not as serious as they were made out to be. The drop in prices have been largely shared during these years by the wholesalers, who were carrying a large portion of stock then on hand. “New England market has never in recent years been more active, but with his usual caution the eastener has been requesting prompt shipment in order to protect himself against what has looked to him like an uncertain future. Prophets among the trade, with ‘the courage to venture an opinion of coming events, have been more reticent than usual. There has been a tendency lately to demand cancellation of orders over a month old. Certain buyers are already anticipating “victims” among the sellers next fall as those who are _ too heavily burdened approach pro forma dates. “Tt is my opinion the spruce lumber is now at fair standard value, although the advance over a year ago is on the average about 633 1/3 per cent. Hemlock, which is a poor substitute for spruce, has “undoubtedly ¢ gone beyond its comparative worth. Ontario pine pro- ducts, both white and red, require careful consideration as regards price from a buyer’s viewpoint. Just now the low end 1923 sawing has practically all changed hands and it has been, possible to buy the box and better grades to better advantage formerly than at _ present. “Building continues unusually active in the larger centres and indications are that it is reasonable to expect a lively fall trade.” Harold D. Joyce, Montreal The Schroeder Mills & Timber Co., Pakesley, Ont., did not owing to the late spring, get their mill iri operation until the second week in May, but the plant has been running steadily since at full capacity, averaging a cut of 850,000 feet per week.

There is every reason to believe that for the immediate future the further advance of the industries built upon forest products offers one of the most promising avenues of Canadian development. In the matter of ripeness for development our forests are certainly not in the background as compared with arable lands or any other natural resources. It is true also that there is a limit to the annual cut which they can permanently support, but there can be nothing except satisfaction in seeing industry displace the forest fire as the chief consumer of our pulpwood and saw-timber species.

It is the Real Who Come to the Rescue “George, how are you?” exclaimed a business man, as a fellow business man entered the office. “Haven’t seen you to speak to you for months. Why don’t you come around oftener ?” “Why don’t you, Jim?” “Tied down to business, George; that’s the only reason.’ “Same here. Wouldn’t be over now only that I saw in the “Banker and Tradesman” that you were in a bit of trou- ble. Came over to see if I could give you a friendly hand.” What a friend was that. Came because his friend was in trouble in the financial world. No doubt there were others, scores of so-called friends who shrugged their shoulders when they learned that finan- cial trouble had singled the business man out, the while con- gratulating themselves that they were not involved, men who had dropped in from time to time, glad to accept the proffered cigar or go to lunch with Jim, but it was George, who rarely had time to come near, who came to the rescue.

S 52 CANADA LUMBERMAN London Firm is Coming to the Front “Ninety-five per cent of our business to-day is contract work, that is, we agree to supply the materials for the buildings but not for the construction. Last year we supplied approximately 20 houses and this year we already have signed contracts for furnishing the material for 52 dwellings besides undertaking several smaller jobs which make up quite a respectable total. We have become crowded for room and are purchasing an adjoining property which will give us about 50,000 square feet of yard space and will relieve the con- gestion under which we now work, As building wreckers, in which operation we were engaged until early in 1922, we raised structures all over Western Ont- ario and were the original wreck- ers in London. We departed from this line because we could at no time accumulate sufficient stock to supply all the requirements of any one builder. We gradually filled in the stocks in which we were short, with new material until to-day we handle only new lumber exclusively.” p So spoke B. Matthews, of the Matthews Lumber Co., 201-205 Horton St., London. This organization, which was started seven years ago this month, has been making substantial progress. - Busi- “ness was begun in a small way by dealing in used material, and eventually this pursuit was discarded and the concern developed into one handling new stock. The company used to buy buildings out- right and remove from the premises only the saleable material which they sold to consumers and small contractors and builders. The firm had a good-sized list of carpenters and handy men who bought salvaged materials for most of their jobs. To-day the company are supplying house bills complete in every instance, having only the “window frames made by a local firm. ‘Their stock though not very large is complete. The yards of the Matthews Lumber Co. cover 14,000 square feet, and are located close to a railway siding. The site is almost in the heart of the Forest City. The firm had to fight the Municipal Coun- cil for several years before being granted a permit to do business on their present location. The storage sheds cover about 6,000 square - feet and contain the stock of dressed lumber, flooring, doors, trim, etc. The Matthews Lumber Co. have no factory except a small cir- cular saw for ripping and sizing. Delivery is carried out by horses. _ There are several service waggons, some of which are always loaded and ready. Thus no time is lost and stock is kept on the move. If a customer is in a very great hurry to have a small order filled, he takes the material away with him but under other circumstances, he _ waits until such time as the firm fill and deliver orders in that sec- : tion of the city. > .

Early Timber Operations in Muskoka a Speaking of the picturesque Muskoka district, a writer in a Tor- onto paper, recalling early lumbering days says: Lonely islands and _ wilderness shore lines there are still in plenty, but the summer popu- lation is large, and it is far from being the place of isolation our fathers knew. ; It was in the early sixties that attention turned to Muskoka, says a reader who knows the region intimately. The pine timber indus- try on the Ottawa River was beginning to decline, owing to the de- structive methods of the lumbermen, with their ready market in _ Europe for square timber, which was floated down the Ottawa and the “Back” River, north of Montreal Island, to Quebec, and there loaded for Liverpool. When attention turned to Muskoka, the lum- bermen first operated along the three connected lakes of Muskoka, Rosseau and Joseph. Settlers began to filter in as early as 1860, but ‘they were few in number, and lived largely by the fur trade. : As early as 1862 attempts to convey passengers up the lakes rom what is now Gravenhurst to the “North Falls,’ now Brace- ridge, were made by resident settlers to bring in others, one of ‘ newspaper published at Iroquois Falls, Ont., by the Abitibi Power — he younger toilers in the work being the late Aubrey White, later of the south, by publishing these wild rumors, are doing their best+. 7g or many years the Deputy Minister of Crown Lands for Ontario. to hold back the development of this part of the country. i i ; 59 tials Re ieee | tities tl’ek ae > a NP fe r A . 4 A : ye tdi > fr vies gon In the fall of 1865, while Confederation was still pending, the late Alexander P.

The small “Wenonah” was the im- ~ mediate result, wifh her first trip on Muskoka Lake and Muskoka _ River to Bracebridge on August 6, 1866.

Dig Ss oe Northern Ontario Should Not be Knocked The stories published in the papers and throughout Onatrio in regard to the recent fires call for action by the Board of Trade and other organizations in the North, says the “Broke Hustler” a weekly and Paper Co., Limited. eit MT Cr nt are If the reports appearing in the southern papers were to be believed, the whole north country was ablaze for the past two weeks. — The whole forest from the Quebec boundary to the Manitoba ‘bound- ary was on fire. The inhabitants of every town and village were star- ing death in the face. The suffering and misery were intense. _ It is nothing less than a crime that such stories should be prin- ted when they are so wide of the truth. The falsehood is so glaring that it impels the question “Is the northland being knocked by some- one or some group for some purpose of their own?” SH nip il In some of the papers the fire outside Timmins was made to appear as if it was threatening the town and hundreds of inhabitants were fleeing to the lake as their only place of safety. This was put across the top of one paper in letters over on inch high. =e The fact is that Timmins was never threatened. There were a number of small settlers’ fires which should not have been lit and which with no rain and with high winds might have become dan- — gerous. But not a single building was burned and not a single per- son injured. A small amount of bush was burned by this injudicious _ setting out of fire and that was all. Yet this was made down below to look like the whole north land on fire. | noe he Se PAT In all this part of the north country there has been no damage except at Norembega, which village was wiped out in a local fire. The circumstances surrounding this fire should be known for it __ shows that the people of the north are sometimes themselves to — blame for the fate that befalls them. Sheet oo Settlers at Norembega set out fire. The Provincial fre ranger _ and the Abitibi Co. rangers acting together put out the fires and warned the settlers of the danger. Several of them, but one especi- ally, argued that there was no danger. After the fire rangers left they set out fires again. The wind changed and the lire swept over the = farms of the very men who set the fires and wiped out the village. The people of the north are men of high courage. They are not afraid of the truth. They have no kick about the truth of the fire situation being published, but they have a decided objection to the © “of south part of the province being fed wildly exaggerated stories tend- ing to scare relatives in the south, and to prevent others from com- a ing to this great north to live.

The Brown-Sword Co., Belleville, Ont., have been reorganized a Bid a new company incorporated which will be known as the ‘Angus- Keefer Lumber Co., Limited. The company has an authorized capi- talization of $50, 000. They manufacture sash and doors and deal in lumber in a retail way. _ Prior to their being taken over by the Angus-Keefer Lumber Co., the Brown-Sword Co. have been established for five years. In 1919 _ the business was acquired by Messrs. J. E. Angus and N. Keefer. ‘Since then the’ turn-over of the firm has increased greatly and con- _ nections in centres outside of Belleville have been firmly established. - The active management of the new company is in the hands of Phe president, J. E. Angus, who has had a valuable experience in the _ lumber business in Toronto and Belleville. A. E. Brown, vice-presi- _ dent, has been connected with some of the largest woodworking - factories in Canada for the past 25 years, his duties being largely - managerial and executive. He will superintend the work in the fac- ' tory. The secretary-treasurer, N. Keefer, graduated in architecture _ from the University of Toronto in 1914, from which time he had been connected with building operations until 1919 when he and Mr. Pacis took over the Brown-Sword Co. The factory is situated on Station St., Belleville. The building _ is a modern structure and the plant comprises up-to-date and efficient _ machinery. = ety Specify Plainly the Kind of Stock x ~ The other day a wholesaler and a retailer were found in conten- _ tion over a complaint on the part of the latter because of some finish whch had arrived wet. The retailer wanted it for immediate use and it wouldn’t do, consequently he had to buy elsewhere, and mean- _ time he made a claim, says the “Southern Lumberman.” - The mill that shipped the lumber called for inspection. So an a Pit etal inspector went through the lumber and graded it. The new _ grading showed some differences from the invoiced, and the mill offered only the concession of changing their invoice price according to the grade shown in the inspector’s report. A memorandum on the inspector’s report furnished some evid- ence that the stock was wet, and then in the course of the discussion _ we wenf through the official grading rules for yellow pine and failed _ to find any specifications there covering any distinction between - green or wet stock, or kilndried stock. To further complicate the _ matter, it was shown that the retailer’s order had specified kilndried _ stock. The stock in question showed evidence of having been _ through a kiln, but it was not dry. And the evidence of this was 3 plain enough that the inspector commented upon it. : Now here is seemingly an unusual situation, but it is a thing that _ might happen to almost any retailer any time, and it contains two _ or three interesting reminders which hold food for thought. One of _ them is that if you want dry stock and want it kilndried, this fact must be set forth specifically in your order because you will find no _ proviso in standard grading rules covering it. ‘There is room here _ for some interesting argument as to what might or ought to be said _ in grading rules about the dryness of certain kinds of stock. There is further complication in the fact that the stock showed evidence of having been through a kiln, yet plainly was not dry. So when a man specifies kilndried stock and gets stock that either has not been properly kilndried, or has become wet after drying, then _ what’s his answer and recourse? _ here is some stock like common boards and framing that it _ doesn’t seem to matter much about being thoroughly dry. Both the 3 _ retailer and the builder expect some shrinkage to take place in boards _ and in framing after it had been in place ‘and becomes thoroughly _ dried. And usually these items are filled in quantites on the yard and have some chance to air dry. There are other items, however, like high grade finish, and flooring, which if not dry when used make a bad job because of the shrinkage which results in the course of the final drying out. Also if the stock is dressed green it will not show the | clean smooth surface which should go with this class of lumber. ’ When a man specifies kiln dried lumber, or dry lumber of any kind, he has a right to expect dryness. And if he fails to get it he S what would seem a just claim. There is perhaps room for some iment on what constitutes dryness and what constitutes techni- , y kilndried lumber. It may be presumed, however, that kilndried hows mber means dry ey and the Forest Products Laboratory has 4 Nc in Sate points of this kind. Kilndried lumber certainly Het to be dry lumber, and when a man specifies kilndried material in his order if the stock comes in green or wet he is not getting what his t calls for, even though it may show evidence of having been an a kiln.

L., is that of L. M. Poole & Co., lumber dealers, of which Simon P. Paoli is the sole proprietor. He has been associated with the com- pany for the past forty years and all the other members have in the interval passed away. Mr. Paoli has one of the best-appointed and best kept yards in the Maritime Provinces and carries all sizes from 1x1 up to 12 x 12 in all used lengths. The firm has on hand a stock of about half a million feet and also a large supply of cedar posts, poles, shingles, lath, hardwood flooring, etc. All kinds of lumber are kept separate as to length, width and thickness and there is, therefore, no con- fusion in filling orders. Mr. Paoli states that he can tell at a glance how the stock in any line stands and prides himself on being able to fill orders in the shortest possible time. The firm has three schooners carrying lumber and owns its own wharf, which is 900 feet long by 110 feet wide, with piling grounds adjacent. In the past five years the company has built a breakwater and added two acres additional to the piling ground by filling in as a dump. When all is filled in the extra area will be fully three acres. There are five drive-roads through the yards. Everything about the premises is kept in splendid order and there are suitable sheds for flooring, trim, moulding, etc., which are all kept in Al shape. Mr. Paoli has associated with him his son, Simon P. Paoli. Hoeing His Garden While Holocaust Raged Three settlers in the vicinity of North Bay, Ont., have been prosecuted by Ontario forestry officials because of negligence with regard to fire and, in each case, conviction was secured before Magi- strate McGaughey at North Bay when the charges were heard. In one case, Fire Ranger Garvin swore that he had found a settler calmly hoeing his garden while a fire was getting a good start in a nearby forest. The fire burned for 13 days before it could be extingu- ished and the services of no less than 42 men were required for fire- fighting work during that period. The accused was charged with neglecting to report the fire and a fine was imposed, with costs. Two settlers at Widdifield were charged with setting fires without a permit. Serious damage was prevented in both of these instances but convictions were registered and fines were imposed along with costs. The manner in which a blaze can take hold of wooded country, even in the proximity of cleared sections, is indicated in the first case mentioned. Valuable timber was being destroyed for a period of practically two weeks amd 42 men were called from regular occupa- tions to fight-the menace at the ratepayer’s expense. The Curse of Carlessness A fool there was and his pipe he lit (Even as you and I), On a forest trail where the leaves were fit To become a blaze from the smallest bit Of spark—and the fool, he furnished it (Even as you and I) The forest was burned to its very roots, Even beneath the ground, With the flowers, the birds and the poor dumb brutes. Old hoary oaks, and the tender shoots Which might have made logs but for such galoots, Allowed to wander round. The lumberjack has now passed on, His pay-day comes no more, And the screech-owls haunt the camp at dawn Where the cook’s tin pan woke the men of brawn; But the mill is silent, the trees are gone, From the soil and forest floor. A deadly sight are those hills of rocks Which once were beds of green; No hope for the human, no food for the flocks; The flood must be held by expensive locks, While the harbor is silted to the docks— The ships no more are seen.

Hu New City of Longview Dedicated Ten thousand persons assembled recently at Longview, Wash., from all parts of the Pacific Northwest and many cities of the East to pay tribute to the broad vision of The Long-Bell Lumber Com ei pany when the new city of Longview, Washington, was formally _ dedicated and the imposing new Hotel Monticello, one of the finest hotel plants on the coast, was officially opened. Included among — the distinguished visitors were the Governor of the State of Wash- ington, the Congressman from this District and the oe of pete land and Seattle. Robert A. Long, of Kansas City, is the directing genius ae this OW great project and as a result of his great conception and dauntless — courage a city will grow on this magnificent site that seems le destined to become one of the outstanding industrial pommagreiies: of the entire United States. Less than a year ago the location of the new city was a aridde stretch of fertile meadow and farm lands extending westward from | the Cowlitz River along the banks of the wide Columbia, an area of fifteen thousand acres overlooking probably the most important “= navigable streams in the United States. E Today that stretch of verdant countryside is a beehive of com- mercial industry teeming on every side with the complicated activi- ties incident to the birth of a great city. Already scores of streets have been graded, many of them paved with concrete. Where a year ago corn and wheat grew in abundance or cattle peacefully — grazed substantial structures, as imposing as the best buildings in the largest American cities, invite the inspection of visitors—two large bank buildings, a department store building, 120 by 150 feet, two great apartment buildings, a 200 room hotel built of brick emda terra cotta, as complete in every convenience as the newest and th te eit . finest hotels on the Pacific coast, a daily newspaper with an asso- 4 ciated press franchise, two hundred and fifty model homes for hous- — ing the company’s own workmen—these are but a few of the i impres- sive evidences of the propitious start of this tremendous project. — Nothing seems to have been overlooked in developing Longview F- into the model community of the Pacific Coast in point of living — condition and civic symetry. The best known experts in zoning and community development co-operated in plans contemplating a. e city of 50,000 persons. Every possible precaution has been taken to avoid mushroom growth and to insure protection not only - 2 d home owners but for every class of business and industry. Tava word - everything has a place in Longview and there is a place for_ everything. oe The giant mills of the company will be in the industrial cen’ along the banks of the Columbia, adjoining enormous docks, which will serve boats from all parts of the world as the largest vessels” can come up the river to Longview, be loaded at these docks, turn around in the broad stretch of water flowing past the mills and steam — away to any of the ports of the world. There will be two Bee mills, each the counterpart of the other and capable of a combined Want Change in Quebec Lien Laws The Province of Quebec Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association and the Montreal Retail Lumbermen’s Association are taking steps to secure an alteration of the Quebec Lien Law which law, it is con- sidered, does not afford retailers sufficient protection. The absence Py of a real protective law has resulted in substantial losses to the re- tail lumber trade. _ These associations are acting in co-operation with the Montreal Builders’ Exchange and the Builders’ Supplies Credit Bureau. A ® neeting of the associations was held on July 17th in Montreal, the jumber dealers being represented by Messrs. G. Lebel, J. P. Dupuis, _R. Emard, J. N. Forest and G. A. Thompson. _» ‘The whole question was discussed and it was decided to take action in the direction of asking the Provincial Government to intro- duce a Bill which will give to suppliers of material such protection as _ is granted to contractors, sub-contractors, architects, and labour ~ under Statue 7—George V., Chap. 52. In the case of the contractor, the Jaw ‘provides that within thir ty days after the termination of the work _ the contractor or architect must take out a registered privilege of his i claim after which six months is allowed for the taking out of a writ. It is hoped to secure the co-operation of the Provincial Builders’ Ex- - change. — _ Mr. Alexander was appointed iaimaen of the committee, with Messrs. A. Baliry and G. A. Thompson joint secretaries. -It is reported to raise a fund to carry on the work and to secure the necessary legal advice. a ry ud 1? British Empire Foresters in Session eT: An important British Empire Conference on Empire For estry is ' ‘scheduled: to take place in the near future at Ottawa when it is ex- _ pected that reforestation will be one of the subjects treated. Lord _ Lovat, K. 7, K, C.M.G. D.S.O., president of the British Forestry Com- _ mission, which has a gigantic plan of reforestation in the British Isles, arrived in Canada recently with the members of the Commission and its staff of technical experts to the number of 27, to take part in the deliberations, when it is expected that some valuable papers on _ the forest resources of the Empire, including Canada, will be read - and debated. Mr. R. L. Robinson, C.B.E., technical expert of the British Forestry Commission, with Mr. Fraser Storey, chief of the - Intelligence Service, have already arrived in Canada. The personnel 4 of the Commission ‘also includes Professor H. S. Trout, head of the Forestry School, Oxford University; Dr. A. W. Bathwick, research officer ; Lieut.- Col. G. H. Courthope, president of the Forestry Associa- Br) t10n; and Dr. J. W. Munro, forest entomologist of continental repute. _ From the fact that the English and Scotch forests were subject to serious depletion to supply the late war demands, the work of the British Forestry Commission is to restore as rapidly as possible the i. forested areas of the United Kingdom. During the war Major Gen- eral Lord Loyat, chieftain of the Fraser Clan, was in charge of all _ British forestry operations, and associated with him were many men, 3 including Canadians, prominent in the lumber and pulp manufactur- ing world. Beet. tags expected that the questions to be considered will have an : important bearing on Canadian forest resources and as delegates 2 will be in attendance from all sections of the Empire, including ‘Que- Ss REPEC, there i is every possibility of good emanating from the conference. E i “Period of Biers Timber Shortage is Inevitable “oes period of severe timber shortage in. the United States is in- a nal Fbdok: of the Unted States Department of Agriculture, entitled mber, Mine or Crop?” The evil effects of having treated the ts of this country as mines from which to extract the timber out regard for pepe methods of growing new timber crops are cussed. - “American a Pigsia. ‘of living and much of our industry have developed upon timber supplies so abundant and cheap that the nited States to-day is the largest consumer of wood in the world,” the Forest Service article. “We now use nearly half the lum- r, more than half the paper, and about two-fifths the wood in all iS s. We produce from two-thirds to three-fourths of the naval s. The timber to supply our demand has been mined from the much as coal has been mined from the ground.” _ he original forest lands of the country, ‘according to the bul- in, totalled 822,000,000 acres and the stand of timber on that origi- | area is conservatively estimated at 5,200 billion board feet, pro- y having been far more. To-day the forest land area is but 70,000, 000 acres and the timber stand is reckoned at 1,600 billion of virgin timber and 600 billion feet additional of culled and a ae stands. e rate sy gabe cape p tion in the United States, including ' ge ~~ CANADA LUMBERMAN = loss by fire and other destructive agencies, is nearly four times as great as the rate of timber growth, it is also stated, the country’s requirements amounting to about 23 billion cubic feet each year w hile but approximately 6 billion cubic feet is being grown. Although timber is growing on perhaps 250,000,000 acres of our forest land, the crop-is so poor and so subject to damage that the land is producing but a small part of what it could produce under forest management. However, according to the data contained in the article, if the entire forest area of the country~+470,000,000 acres—were placed under intensive forestry about 27 billion cubic feet could ultimately be produced each year. This.amount would exceed the present drain on our forests by a relatively small margin. “This production, however, can not be brought about in a short time,’ continues the article. “To make the practice of intensive for- estry universal *or even the rule throughout the United States will be possible only through gradual progress. It will require the devel- opment of scientific knowledge and technical methods of timber growing comparable with what has slowly and at large cost been obtained for agricultural crops. “Tt will require effective protection against fires. It will require methods of cutting the mature timber that assure prompt and com- plete reforestation. It will require the selection of concentration of growth on the best species in each region. It will require cultural operations, such as thinnings, which in European countries yield, and in this country may be expected to yield, a revenue from forest land before the main crop reaches maturity. It will require a cut so regu- lated that only the mature timber will be taken, and no more than the total growth of the whole forest. “Even if intensive forest management could be applied instantly to the entire area of forest land in the United States, it would take a generation or two to bring about forest conditions as favorable to high production as those now to be found on small areas in this country or over large areas under forest management in Europe. “Further, since the timber crop requires several decades to grow to maturity, though a full stand of the right kinds of trees could be started on all our forest land by some magic overnight, it would be 30 years at least before new growth would, under average conditions, attain sufficient size to furnish even low-grade material. Canada Cannot Afford Heavy Fire Losses The Dominion of Ganada has been facing losses in forest fires which can no longer be safely borne with equanimity. Day after day reports are read of the sweeping of large tracts of timber land by flames, and it is reported all too frequently that some busy com- © munity has been wiped out along with a forest says Dr. P. E, Doo- ~ little, President of the Canadian Automobile Association. ‘Canada cannot afford heavy losses in her natural forest resources through carelessness, and, therefore, I am making this appeal to the tens of thousands or organized automobile enthusiasts who are linked — up with the Canadian Automobile Association through affiliated lea-_ gues and clubs, and to all motorists generally, to do everything pos- — sible to prevent the destruction of a forest fire. Every forest through- — out Canada is a tangible pay-envelope for Canadian workmen and widespread burning of timber constitutes disturbance for industrial employment and economic conditions. - Motorists should never leave a campfire burning, throw a lighted — match-into the brush or build a larger fire than is necessary for cur- rent needs. Motorists who appreciate scenic beauty should do every- | thing to conserve the glories of Nature for those who come after- wards. ————. Eastern Woodworking Plant is Kept Busy The Halliday Co., Hamilton, Ont., branch in Truro, N. S., and under the management of W.H. Falten- | hine a good business has been dev eloped. C. L.

Hickman, of Port Elgin, N. B., have recently made an extension to and improved the facilities of their sawmill and wood- working plant by adding a 6-inch resaw and double surfacer. Their cut this season will be about two and a half million feet which is somewhat less than last year, owing to the excessive fall of snow dur- ing the past winter hampering logging operations. The firm report that the prospects are good for the fnture as they expect the Seep otes River to be dredged so that vessels up to 13 feet draft may be able to come up to their “mill wharf to load. Shook Mills are Running to Capacity The Pembroke Shook Mills, of which J. T. Stuart is general- manager, are very busy at the present time and running to capacity. From present indications the firm say it looks as if the plant will continue actively for the balance of the year. Considerable logging will be done during the coming winter as it is the intention of the company to take out in the neighborhood of 15,000,000 feet. Lumber Business is Good in Sudbury . The Laberge Lumber Co., Limited, of Sudbury, Ont., have sold their limit to the Acme Timber & Tie Co. and their sawmill to a firm in New Brunswick. The Laberge Co. are operating their woodwork- ing plant at Sudbury at full capacity and expect to be busy for sever- al months yet unless business should take a sharp turn. Ex. Mayor J. A. Laberge, who is secretary-treasurer of the organization, says that the opening of the nickle mines in the Sudbury district has been. a great help to retail lumber yards in that vicinity. Cut Will be Larger This Season Murray Crawford, Limited, of Campbellville, Ont., state that their output of lumber this year will be about 20 per cent. larger than last season. The firm cut most of their logs on their own limits, and last winter the farmers brought in for sale a larger quantity of logs than for many years.. The demand for the higher grades of hardwods seems keener than for the last two years with prices con- _ siderably larger. Lower grades‘are just the reverse. E. D. Mahon, _ secretary-treasurer of the company, says that their output of soft- woods while never large, is bigger this season than for some time past. Prices are very fair. The company are planning for about the same cut next season as this. Where: Settlers Became Fire Rangers During 1922, the Department of Lands and Forests utilized 332 assistant fire rangers to improve the protective system in settlers’ districts. These assistant fire rangers are selected in each range, among the most progressive settlers. They have the authority to issue permits to burn clearances and also to enforce the law, which requires each ‘settler to watch the progress of his fires. They can also summon help and direct the fight against fires which may escape the settler or occur in the vicinity of their beat. This system of assistant fire rangers has become very popular, because it enables the settler to obtain a permit at any time, provided he has complied with the obligations of the permit, that is, if he has piled the debris of his clearing into heaps or rows and if he has cleared a strip of at least 50 feet between such heaps or rows and the adjoining forest. Of course the weather conditions must be favorable:and there must not be any drought. The settler appreciates very much the fact that he is no longer obliged to make ten to fifteen miles to the ranger’ s home, with the chances of finding him away. The moral effect is also great, as the assistant forest ranger residing among the settlers calises them to be more careful; they discuss between themselves the danger arising from the imprudence of careless people and we find that, in many sections, the settlers are co-operating together to the extent that they will all burn at the same time so all the available men are in readiness; therefore, the old “Bee” system is coming _ back; this means that, with the hearty co-operation of all the in- _ terested, clearances are being burned and very little damage caused. by Empire Forestry Conference in Progress e Leading delegates have arrived in Ottawa from the various _ dominions and possessions to attend the British Empire Forestry _ Conference. Among them are Major-General Lord Lovat, chairman of the. British Forestry Commission, together with other members of the commission and of the English Forestry Society and the _ British Empire Forestry Association. Ceylon, the Straights Settle- _ ments, Nigeria and British Guiana, Australia, New Zealand, South 56 CANADA LUMBERMAN . It is the aim of the conference to find means of making British Empire self-sustaining in its timber supply, and the conf ence will take stock of the Empire’s timber resources and dis means for conservation and reforestation. Following the offi opening which took place in Ottawa on July 25th, the delegates making a tour of inspection of forest country in Quebec, New Br wick and Nova Scotia. Business meetings will be held in Gitiors during the dea August 6 to 11. The conference will then make a western to through Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and. Brit Columbia. Concluding sessions are to be held in Victoria, B. Cc. Payette Co. Rise on New Equipment J. T. Payette, proprietor of the P. Payette Co. , Penetanguishe Ont., manufacturers of sawmill and marine machinery, who hav been established since 1860, states that from last fall up to the pre sent their plant has turned out more work than it, ever ane busiest days of the war time. The P. Payette Co. have work on lath mills, palteee pi machinery and sawmill carriages, which will keep them going stez ily until the end of the year. The outlook for continued Boot bu ness, Mr. Payette says, is most promising. Started Late But Going Strong en: The lumber mill owned bby J. A. Gregory at Ketepec, commence sawing operations on June 18 and will continue until the end of the season. Mr. Gregary also has mills at Grand Bay and West St. John” which are also operating full time. He has a large stock of pine, spruce and fir logs on hand to be manufactured for the English and American markets. He is also manufacturing laths despite the fact that the demand at present has fallen off. The delay in starting the ae this year was occasioned by the damage caused by men Spe | reshets, The Best Friend of Man sa aon A man’s job is his best friend. It clothes and feeds fis wife and children, pays the rent, and supplies them with the wherewithal to develop and become cultivated. The least . a man can do in return is to love_his job. A man’s job is grateful. It is like a little garden that thrives on love. It will one day flower into fruit worth while, for him and his to enjoy. If you ask any successful man the reason for his making good, he will tell you that first and foremost it is | because he likes his work; indeed, he loves it. His whole | heart and soul are wrapped up in it. His whole physical and mental energies are focused on it. He walks his work, he talks his work; he is entirely inseparable from his work, and that is the way every man worth his salt ought to be if he wants to make of his work what it should be, and make himself _ what he wants to be. A. at Forest Fast Disappearing — Canadians are due for a rude awakening, says a bulletin issued recently by the Natural Resources Branch of the De- partment of the Interior, Ottawa, in commenting on the con- | dition of the forests of Canada. They have always had the impression that their forests are inexhaustible, that the trees — were growing more rapidly than they could possibly be used. This is not the case. It is carefully estimated by experienced - foresters that for every tree used for industrial purposes, from fifteen to twenty are destroyed by forest fires. Logging Superintendent and His Job When—with the saw mill sawing to capacity; only one shift in the pond; one to five feet of snow to plow every few days during three winter months—your railroad tracks sink — out of sight when the snow melts and yet not a saw lays | of 6 for the want of logs—you turn into the hay every night feel- ing as though you had won a new lease on life for at least} | another day. Sometimes a climax arises and you either gain | on the mill or receive a setback that is almost a knockout. It | might be this: your best skidder turns over a soft piece of | track and you have no spare. rig to take its place. Will the | mill slow down or can you get the skidder working in time to save the day. Herculean efforts are required working and planning night and day. The ability to overcome these obsta- | cles make a present day logging superintendent.

A. Saurwem: Aece Mor y AT Lumber Trade Conditions (Continued from page 57) out this phase of conditions. At the same time they feel optimistic that a change is due in the situation which may mature into a real- ization sooner than anticipated by the firms and the determined stand recently taken by the British Government without prejudice to cordial relations with their allies, the French and Belgians. The reports go on to state that while general trade éonditions in the British Isles are good, the English importers entertain different _ views.. In the beginning of the present year, November and Decem- ie ber last, a few of the importers purchased heavily, some moderately and some not at all. As prices showed a tendency to. rise importers _ in some districts took a plunge but there was always a minority who, obsessed with the idea of a prospective slump, feared that the risk of buying was too great and later realized their mistake by loss of business. All agents of Canadian lumber firms tell the same story. ’ They find that their customers are simply not buying, while those __ who have bought, are pleased to have done so and to see the prices of wood keeping firm. Very few English importers desire to see a fall in prices. Such a large quantity of wood has been bought from the continental ex- porters that a change in the position and a falling market would create trouble for trade. English importers, however, feel that they have gone the limit in paying figures of March and April, not only for their immediate profits and in order to avoid a reaction, a halt should be called. Shippers relying on the British market and the consumption in the British Isles, must understand that the consumption is only moderate. Besides, in the present state of international politics and rates of exchange, trade with other European countries, handicapping English selling interests, are most uncertain. The Canadian trade should also bear in mind that the competition from Scandinavian wood export centres, and now Soviet Russia is an essential thing to be reckoned with. From the latter country cheap wood is being exported to obtain the money, and a trade agreement between Russia and England must be seriously considered. Good ees: Outlook for Fali Months In most lines of trade the present period is rather quiet and the midsummer lull is on. Many heads of firms and members of staffs are taking a holiday and enjoying a respite from the busy grind. The question forming the chief hot-weather topic is how will business be this fall? What kind of trade will be done in the lumber line and : what is the general outlook? The feeling generally seems to be _. optimistic in view of the abundant crops and favorable reports com- ing to hand from the west. One leading authority states that merchants have for some time been buying cautiously and their stocks of merchandise are not exces- sive. The conservation, which has prevailed, should help to steady matters and prospects on the whole are very good; Naturally a cer- tain amount of hesitation may be expected in July and August, but during the fall, indications point to a total perhaps 10 per cent ahead _ of the same period last year. Babson, in a recent summing up of the situation, said,—‘Look- ing ahead, therefore, we do not fear any serious backing up of goods in the hands of retailers throughout this year. The conservative policy of the retail merchants curbed the business boom last spring but it will make possible a continuance of good business in the latter part of 1923. In the last analysis the retail trade determines general business activity. The retailers are the neck in the bottle. Fully 85 per cent of all the products of the farm, the forest, the mine and the factory pass through their hands to the ultimate consumer. As long, therefore as the retail merchants buy only as much as they can sell, _ there is little danger of over-expansion in other fields of business. The greatest crises have only come when retail stocks were excessive and _ began to back up. This happened in 1920 and in all other drastic : declines i in ‘business history.” ‘ Moderate Demand for Canadian Woods In a recent letter from Liverpool, Eng,. sent out by Farnworth , Jardine, an interesting review of the market so far as Canadian _ woods are affected is given. ° 5s a The summary is as follows: SAR | = Imports with few exceptions were moderate. Softwoods were in “steady request with firm prices. Stocks are not heavy. Hardwoods generally rather quiet without any material change in the market. e Canadian Woods. —Quebec, etc., Yellow Pink Timber.—There was a slight improvement in demand, but generally business; was very quiet. Stocks moderate. acy Pine. oe Class.—The popar of 28,000 cubic oe was pease ete - _ 28,000 cubic feet went into consumption. known. CANADA LUMBERMAN 61 practically all to Manchester. Deliveries were slightly above recent months, but the demand was disappointing, and stocks appear suffi- cient, although not heavy. Second-Class.—In limited request with ample stocks. Square Pine, Red Pine—No call for this variety. Oak.—No arrivals, small consumption. Stocks evenly distri- buted between Liverpool and Manchester amounting to 44,000 cubic feet. Elm.—The import consisted of 5,000 cubic feet Square to Man- chester, and 1,000 cubic feet Round to Liverpool. Deliveries were small, but stocks are low. Fresh large wood is in request. Pine Deals.—A fairly substantial Import came to both Man- chester and Liverpool. Deliveries were steady, leaving stocks fairly moderate. Spruce.—A small quantity arrived by Liner, and was taken care of by the deliveries. Stocks are low. Values are on a high basis, with the result forward business was difficult to arrange. New Brunswick and Nova Scotia Spruce and Pine Deals, etc.— The Mersey (including the Manche$ter Canal) received an Import of 2,150 Standards, mostly arriving towards the end of the month, and still on the quay. The deliveries from stock, amount tc 3,000 Standards, resulting in stocks being reduced to 6,450 Standards, com- pared with 7,630 Standards at the end of June, 1922. The stock in Manchester is extremely low, but arrivals are shortly expected. The present situation is relieved by substantial stocks of Baltic and Cen- tral European Whitewoods. Values are without change. Ocean tonnage was to be had at reduced rates, compared with the previous month. Pine Deals—Quiet market, with stocks very low. Birch—Logs.—About 19,000 cubic feet came to hand, mostly to Liverpool, of which a fair proportion went into consumption. Stocks in the aggregate appear quite sufficient. Those in Manchester are on the low side. Planks.—The arrivals amounted to 38,000 cubic feet, of which Stocks are heavy, viz., 187,000 cubic feet. The market ruled dull. Values were easier. Quebec Shipments Across Border Keep Up The lumber trade for Quebec mills with the United States mar- ket is still brisk and the railroad transportation to meet the exigen- — cies of supply is giving satisfaction. The halt in the building trade — brought about in the month of May, by financial pressure on account of the abnormal demands for labor, has not, in the least, affected the demand from the American market insofar as Quebec-business with its American customers is concerned. All Quebec shippers of lum- ber to the American market give out the same statement that there has been no let-up in the demand. It is expected that the boom in construction work across the border has only been given a temporary set-back on account of the increased cost of labor which is calculated to right itself in the fall when the building boom will be continued. The St. Pacome Lumber Co. is still carrying on a large shipping trade to meet the demands of the firm’s American customers. Roch Julien, president of the firm of Julien & Julien, with mills in the counties of (Champlain and Megantic, P.Q., reports business favorable. Besides shipping lumber to ‘Ontario ‘and the United States, this firm exports to the United Kingdom market, through the Montreal brokerage firm of E. H. Lemay. Julien & Julien are also large shippers of pulpwood to the American pulp and paper mills. This season the firm has turned out,from their mills, of lumber which have been sold, and are now working on orders for 3,000,000 feet bm. of planks. The St. Lawrence Lumber Co. and the D’Auteuil Lumber Co., firms that deal largely in the export of pulpwood, ties and shingles, also report good business. - The export firm of H. R. Goodday Co., who generally ship tim- ber and lumber from the ports of Miramichi and St. John, N.B., — report a quiet business this season, and with the exception of vessels “x carrying part cargoes, the firm was loading a steamer with a full — cargo of timber and deals for the United Kingdom at the port of St. John, N.B. The Quebec pulpwood dealers, who ship largely to the United States, have organized an association to protect their interests and combat the embargo which they fear will greatly curtail their busi- ness. Some of the more prominent dealers accept the proposition philosophically, and say when the embargo is in force it will be a law that must be respected and lived up to. They feel, however, that the government will not impose the embargo this year w hich will give them time and, opportunity to arrange their. business to meet new conditions. One of the Quebec pulpwood brokers spoken to, said, he knew that the Government was acting within its rights to protect the Can- adian forest resources as there were many abuses in connection with the cutting and exportation of pulpwood that was not generally Discussing this phase of the question the broker ‘said, —" 1 a le ae rer ee 4,000,000 feet — ee . oe oe ee i les oe ae gee | 2 oe Mies ot J ee ee Sy ep ke Ae ns . . cig Pus eherat > Te) ae aaa ale, aa, ei a va : 4 CANADA LUMBERMAN 62 PR ROME Se EAB AE CPLA | — Save Money on Your Camp Supplies RMS a) aha Take advantage of our special prices on sup- plies, and you’ll save money without sacrific- ing quality.

London, England: PEEKHOUSE, 20 Eastcheap af will give you an instance as to how pulpwood is cut from Crown _ Lands and shipped to the United States in contravention of the pulp- wood embargo. Farmers, with land adjacent to Crown Lands, ob- tain permits to cut wood from the government-owned property which they have made into pulpwood, and sold to the brokers for export. I have on file over a dozen such permits which we keep for protec- tion. The modus operandi of the farmer is to seek permits to cut pulpwood from the government and then sell it to the city brokers for export. For instance, a farmer or new colonist will come to us with an offer of 100 cords of pulpwood for sale. Aware of the extent _ of the wood on his land, we ask him how the thing is possible when he has not that amount on his land to cut. Then the farmer makes e the announcement that he has secured a permit from the Department to cut wood from the adjoining government land, at the same time _ exhibiting the permit, and should we decide to buy from him, we secure the permit for our own protection. rs The foregoing statement was made to the Quebec correspondent _ of the “Canada Lumberman” from a reliable pulpwood shipper and goes to show that there are abuses practised in the cutting and sale of pulpwood, of which, the Quebec Lands and Forests authorities are not aware but are nevertheless responsible for. There is no doubt but fhat the pulpwood embargo question will be made a platform issue at the next general federal election and that every effort will be made to embitter the rural voters against the government. It may be recalled in this respect that a hue and cry was raised against the former Government, when Sir Lomer Gouin imposed the embargo on the export of pulpwood from gov- ernment-owned lands, a law which is to-day recognized as one of _ the best in the province. oe ‘Lumber Movement Gaining Across Border The lumber movement of the country for the past week as reflected by reports from 403 of the larger commercial sawmills, to _ the National Lumber Manufacturers Association here, gained materi- ally over that of the preceding week and is even much larger than for the corresponding week of 1922. For the reporting mills as a ; whole shipments were 89 per cent. and orders 80 per cent. of current production. The corresponding percentages for Southern Pine mills _ by themselves were 94 and 81 per cent respectively and for the West Coast fir mills 105 and 111 per cent. Of the reporting mills 364 have an established figure of normal production for the week, according to which actual production was 98 per cent., shipments 90 and orders 83 per cent. a The 134 reporting mills of the Southern Pine Association give their unfilled orders as 233,062,050 as compared with 242,493,030 feet for the preceding week; and the 131 reporting mills of the West Coast Lumbermen’s ‘Association give their orders as 349,761,933 feet, as against 316,284,089, the two groups together showing an increase of 24,046,864 in unfilled orders over the preceding week. Construction is Following Normal Trend According to reports tabulated by the Dominion Bureau of Stat- istics, there was a decline of 23,6 per cent. in the value of the build- ing permits issued in June as compared with May. This seasonal decrease is often experienced during June, the largest aggregate of permits granted usually occurring in April or May, when the build- ing season is commencing. The comparison with June, 1922, also - shows less projected activity during the month under review, ‘there being a reduction of 15.9 per cent. Statements received from 56 cities showed that they had authorized building to the value of $14,345,573, whereas in May, 1923, the total had been $18,766,065, = and in ‘June, 1922, $17,052,582. Detailed returns were furnished by 49 cities, which issued over 1,500 permits for dwellings at a total valuation of approximately 7 $7,600,000, and for some 3,600 other buildings estimated to cost near- ly $5,800,000. Since the erection of several houses, apartments, _ stores, etc., is very frequently authorized by one permit, the number “of buildings to be put up would be somewhat larger. All Provinces except Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and a New Brunswick registered declines in the value of prospective build- a ‘ing as compared with the preceding month. The increase in Nova Scotia of $70,543, or 91.8 per cent., was the largest, while of the declines recorded elsewhere that in Ontario of $3, 136,195 or 28 per of 40.4, however, showed the greatest proportional loss. - Only Quebec and Prince Edward Island recorded increases in - the value of the permits issued as compared with June, 1922, there being percentage gains of 12.1 and 93.8 respectively in those provin- Of the decreases indicated in the remaining districts, that of 6,166, or 12.7 per cent., in Ontario, was the largest actual de- Pi 7 4 ~ ry ee Pre Nea a @.

All of the four largest cities—Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg and Vancouver—reported less contemplated building as compared with May, 1923, and with June, 1922. The only increases in both com- parisons were indicated in St. John, Quebec, Three Rivers, Brant- ford, Chatham, London, St. Thomas and New Westminster. Are Seeking to Assess Income Tax The British Inland Department authorities are endeavoring to assess an income tax on the profits made by foreign producers and manufacturers who sell raw or partly manufactured goods in Eng- land through English agents and brokers. This question is not new. The Department has for some years been seeking to render the agents in various trades liable for assessment on behalf of their foreign principals, but the question has entered a new phase as the Inland Revenue authorities are now trying to assess bona fide firms or agents and brokers, who do not act as agents of any one principal but whose business is to act for any shippers in England who desire their services. It is pointed out that the assessment of taxation on behalf of shippers would, undoubtedly, create a great disturbance in the business of agents and brokers, and would contribute to the kill- ing of British trade. If these assessments are persisted in a test case will be fought as the import would have a far-reaching effect on the timber trade in Canada and the European continental countries. It would also increase the price on timber and other wood sold abroad and shipped to England. The Department of Inland Revenue has already assessed two of the great firms of London in respect of profits made by some foreign firms in the timber and woodpulp trade, and is looking to the London agents for the income tax upon these profits for the past three years. In a desultory manner the struggle by the Inland Revenue De- partment to enforce this income tax, has been waged for some years and has been carried to the House of Lords. —s How Lumber Prices Keep Going Up The recent rapid increase in the cost of lumber is shown by the record of wholesale prices extending over various periods since 1840. The wholesale price of lumber from 1840 to 1860 was $10.50 a thou- — sand feet. Between 1866 and 1900 it was $16. Between 1900 and 1914, $25 and in: 1920, $75. Freights increased 100 per cent. and wholesale prices 200 per cent. since 1915. This inflation is due to many reasons, chiefly to the exhaustion of supply which has resulted in long hauls and expensive operations in regions difficult of access, says a bulletin recently issued by the N. Y. State College of Forestry, Syracuse University. Timber was first taken from localities nearest the markets. As that source was exhausted the transportation distances became longer and the timber regions were confined, in many cases, to a more rugged country so the cost of production has been forced higher and higher. This is strikingly shown by the way lumber outstripped all other commodity prices in the purchasing power of the dollar. Be- fore the Cvil War the increase of lumber prices kept on an even basis with the average increase of other commodities, but after that lumber prices jumped. The difference between lumber and other commodities for the period between 1870 to 1900 averaged about 70 per cent. higher for lumber. After the Eastern pine had been exhausted, values of lum- ber over all commodities had increased 140 per cent. The dollar of 1915 purchased about as much of all commodities as it did in 1840 but it required $2.34 in 1915 to purchase as much lumber as did one dollar in 1840 and lumber that could be purchased in 1840 for $100 cost $510 in 1921 while according to the investigations of E. H. Clapp — of the U. S. Forest Service, all commodities which cost $100 in 1840 could be bought for about $143 in 1921. The rapid increase in the cost of wood to consumers is bound to continue because nothing is being done to adequately relieve the situ- ation, and it will be a long time after remedial measures are initiated before relief will be felt. No business activity can be carried on with- out being affected directly or indirectly by the price of wood. Lum- ber is therefore an important factor in the cost of living and as long as we are willing to remain inactive in reforesting on a large scale the longer and more severe will be the drain on the pocketbooks of the people.

A Bee oe : an fC C7) ot) ees = , a? ae Pulpwood Dealers See Premier & A number of pulpwood merchants from Quebec were in Ottawa recently interviewing the Right Hon. Mackenzie King, Premier of Canada, Hon. H. S. Beland and other ministers on the question of the proposed embargo on the exportation of pulpwood from private lands. The deputation on their return expressed complete satisfac- tion with the results of their visit. The members placed before Premier King and his colleagues their requests and although they are not prepared to state the exact nature of the reply they received, the Quebec men are, apparently, assured that their holdings will be looked after. The message which the delegation transmittea te other members has caused quite a relief because, up to the present time, the dealers of Quebec City and district were at a loss to know what to do in view of the fact that at any moment they might have to cancel their shipments of pulpwood to the United States. * Word received from Quebec is to the effect that it is apparent that the Government has no intention of enforcing an embargo at the present time, in view of the fact that the bill has met with opposi- tion from various sources. One of these protests is that the measure | does not contain a clause giving the dealers time to dispose of their present stocks or to make arrangements for the future. The opinion _ is expressed by members of the Quebec delegation that the appoint- ment of a Commission to enquire into the question and the fact that certain stipulations are not definitely set forth as yet that the em- __ bargo will not come into effect for a long time. . It may be pointed out that Quebec merchants fully realize that something must be done to conserve the pulpwood resources of the country and they are in favor of the principle of the bill. The pro- viso they make is that they be given time to adjust their business to meet new conditions. The delegation which journeyed to Ottawa/ from Quebec was _ composed of J. O. Auger; Louis St. Laurent; A. Tardiff, Gordon _ McLeod; E. H. Pennington; Ernest Amyot and J. A. Coulombe. , P How Paper Co. Assists in Fire Protection When so much of the wealth of the country is depleted annually _ through forest fires it is gratifying to note that the Abitibi Power tion all Spring and Summer, and other companies will no doubt fol- low suit in thatr espect. The company’s woodmen supplement the 4 Government’s fire service throughout the limits, and especially along the railroad tracks, where the danger of fire is greatest. The com- _ pany’s fire rangers, in fact, are under strict written orders to take _ their instructions from the Government rangers in case a fire breaks _ out and supply them with all available equipment. In such an event _ the two company rangers, the pumps, tanks and all other appliances 4 would be automatically under the orders of the Government rangers in charge. Among the company’s precautions against fire is a tank and Paper Company, Ltd., has had an efficient fire service in opera- car with a capacity of 7,000 gallons and 2,000 feet of hose. There is also a pump with a capacity of 55 gallons per minute that goes along the line up and down on each trip. Two additional pumps and hose can be loaded on a speeder and sent to any place on the line. From a lookout tower fifty feet high, situated on the top of a rocky hill, a view can be secured of the surrounding country in every direction - for a distance of twenty miles. A pair of the very finest field glasses is at this point for the use of the rangers. Both of the company’s rangers carry chemical fire extinguishers on their cars. Large signs in French and English at various points warn sojourners of the dan- gers of fire and how to avoid such a contingency. More About Proposed Pulpwood Embargo American paper manufacturers, particularly those making news- print, are much disturbed at the possibility of an embargo by Can- _ ada on the export of pulpwood, this power being conferred on the See by legislation passed at the last session. ‘The prohibi- can be put into force by an Order-in-Council. fh It i is gost certain that before definite action is taken, the Gov- ee whe “omni ODDO 000 | oon TE ALB Te tg CCC : and that evidence will be heard for and against an embargo on pulp- wood cut on private lands. In the opinion of Mr. Barnjum there is no need for such an inquiry as all the facts are known and he has denounced the Government in strong terms for this lack of courage as he would call it, in not at once putting an embargo in force. The American mill owners naturally object to their supply of raw material from Canada being curtailed, for that would be the effect of any legislation. Assurance has been given that the Gov- ernment will allow settlers and farmers to still export their pulpwood. Those Americans who will be effected are putting their case as high as possible. They are making a strong fight, and are clearly en- gaged in a publicity campaign in order to influence their own Goy- ernment. It is asserted that the entire paper and printing industries would be severely affected, that many mills would be forced to shut down and that the prices of pulpwood and paper would have a sharp rise. An embargo, it is also declared, is a blow aimed at the Ameri- can paper manufacturer, and that it is designed to place Canada in a still more commanding position in the newsprint field, in fact it is contended that Canada wants to monopolize the paper industry of the continent. A committee, known as the committee for the per- petuation of the paper industry in the United States, has been formed in New York to look after the interests of the American mills, and representatives have been made to the American Government to bring diplomatic pressure on our Government with a view to block an embargo, failing which there is talk of retaliatory measures. The American manufacturers assert that the effect of an embargo would be disastrous to their interests. There can be no doubt that legislation would seriously hit some of the American mills, especially those wholly or mainly dependent upon Canadian pulpwood. Mr. P. T. Dodge, the president of the International Paper Co., has for a long time advocated a tax on Can- adian newsprint, and at the same time desires free access to Canadian pulpwood. He wants to shut Canada out of the States, so far as the manufactured article is concerned, while denuding this country of the absolutely essential product for the finished paper. Judging from the results which followed the prohibition of the export of wood from Crown lands, it is more than probable that more American mills would be forced to come to Canada in the event of the prohibition of the export of wood from private lands, thus giving employment to our own people. The view of those who have been agitating for this legislation is that, in the first place, there is an urgent necessity to conserve our forest resources, and that in the second, Canada is the logical country for the manufacture of news- print, and that there is no reason why we should supply the raw mat- erial to be manufactured in the United States. The great expansion, in the industry is evidence that Canada can produce newsprint of the highest quality and at competitive prices. An embargo would adversely affect the interests of the pulp- wood -dealers in Canada, who have found the American mills to be their best customers. Such dealers look with disfavor on any legis- lation which will tend to diminish their business, built up at the ex- penditure of much money and labor. There is undoubtedly a great deal to be said for their point of view. Another objection to an embargo affects the principle. The ob- jection is well put in a letter by Mr. F. A. MacLean, of Greening, P.Q. He criticizes an embargo as involving a grave injustice, which savours of confiscation to the owners of private lands. “Let us sup- pose,” he says, “that I am the owner in fee-simple of timber lands for which I have paid a good price, for the sole purpose of establishing a business of exporting pulpwood, or of selling in the open market to the highest bidder. I have installed necessary plant and equip- ment to recover the timber and built a rossing mill to bark and pre- pare the wood for the pulpmill. Just then the Government steps in and says: “You cannot do it; if you wish to make use of your timber you must sell it to Canadian mills only, or erect a paper mill your- self.’ But I have no money to build a paper mill, and, as most of the Canadian mills have their own leased or owned lands, they will buy my wood only when their own cut runs short, or my price is so cheap that they are getting my wood for less than the cost of mak- ing their own. My ‘timber thus becomes worth practically nothing to me, and the Crown, having sold me the title to standing timber (Continued on page 69) ) : : | 1 | . ‘ y SPRUCE ROUGH or DRESSED Mills at:— Mont-Laurier, Lac Saguay, St. Jerome, Senneterre, Que.

The employees of the Port Arthur Division of the Provincial Paper Mills were recently presented with a safety shield and flag by the Ontario Pulp & Paper Makers’ Safety Association, which is competed for annually. The mill was the winner’in Class “A,” _ which represents plants employing 200 hands or over. The Port Arthur plant’s record for the year was 20 non-fatal accidents, involving a loss of 336.5 work days, which is equal to 1.75 days per full time worker. The Barber mill at Georgetown, which is also owned by the Provincial Paper Mills, Limited, won the competition _ this year in Class B,—plants employing less than 200 hands. Fire recently caused $30,000 damage to the property of Barrett Bros., manufacturers and dealers of wood products, at 273 Catherine ~ $t., Ottawa. The origin of the blaze is unknown but it is rumored _ thattit was started by some boys who had gained an entrance to a _ storage shed. Thirty minutes after the blaze began, the walls of _ the shed had disappeared. A member of the firm reports that a considerable amount of lumber, shingles and mouldings comprised the main loss. Some machinery was also damaged. A garage belonging to Barrett Bros. was also consumed with three motor trucks.

Pulpwood and Pulp (Continued from page 65) and pocketed the money, or taken the equivalent in land exchange, now steps in and prohibits the operation of my property to my own best advantage on the plea that somebody, sometime, may get em- ployment in a paper mill built on the strength of my timber. Mean- while, along with my employees of the bush and rossing mill, I may look up another job or go to the poorhouse. Heretofore it has generally been accepted as an axiom of our land, that people have inalienable right to enjoy peacefully the homes and businesses which they have acquired in lawfui manner. Let it be carefully considered how far the policy of confiscating the rights of property owners may ultimately go before enforcing such legislation as this pulpwood embargo.” Then there is the fear that the United States might retaliate. That, of course, remains to be seen, although it may be pointed out that so far as tariff and commercial matters are concerned, it does ~ not lie in the mouth of Americans to complain if other countries fol- low such an example as the Fordney tariff, designed to protect Amer- ican agriculture and other industries, and especially aimed at Canada. There is yet another phase of operation. This is from those ~ Canadian mills with American affiliations, who greatly fear that the supply of pulpwood would be diminished, and that they, with other American mills, would have to seek supplies of pulp in this country at a greater cost than is now involved in converting the pulpwood into pulp. Certain Canadian mills also believe that if any more United States mills were forced to locate here that it would mean an, over- production of newsprint, with greater competition, and a reduction in _ prices, - tay ie at oot My ee) ¥ ) ‘ ‘ee NN IN THE LONG RUN it pays to sell to the largest dealers because they keep in close touch with many markets. any other American firm.

The berth, which is located at the head of Sand Brook, east of Clarendon Settle- ment, and contains eight and a half square miles, was purchased by the Fraser Companies, Ltd., at the upset price of $20 per square mile. According to statistics made public by H. S. Tewell, American vice-consul at North Bay, exports of merchandise to the United States from Northern Ontario during the first six months of 1923 amounted to $17,285,608, being almost double the value of the same kinds of products exported during the corresponding period of 1922. Forest products,comprising pulpwood, pulp, paper, lumber and lath, represent over half of the total exports, the value of commodi- ties in this class being $9,234,718. Minerals were valued at $7,400,000 and mineral items at $1,600,000. An increase in the value of mine products amounting to almost $6,000,000 accounts for a large part of the augmented exports this year. Preparations are now being completed for the early opening of the provincial schools for Forest Rangers and experts in the manufac- ture of paper. The manufacturing of paper will be taught in the Three Rivers technical school. Students of the school after they have completed their three years study at the Technical, will be given the opportunity of following a supplementary course in paper making which will be given by special teachers and will cover a period of two or three years. The forest Rangers school will be established at Berthierville where the Quebec government has its forest nurseries. Over 50 pupils have already entered their names for that particular course.

D. Plouffe was formerly with Daniel Cream Limited, Montreal, and J. C. Poitevin was with E. J. Max- well, Limited, oad the Mcledanan Lumber Co., Limited, Montreal. The firm represent Roch Julien, Quebec; J. C. Bartram, Ottawa, and the Thurn-Maxson Lumber Co., South Bend, Ind. Although the Government has declined to accede to the desires of the lumber trade in the matter of the sales tax, it is possible that arrangements will be made in the regulations now being drawn up to meet some of the objections as to the complex methods of collec- tion as originally outlined. Some lumbermen believe that the Govy- ernment will be compelled to modify the licensing system. Under arrangements already completed, the preference share capital of the Manitoba Pulp and Paper Company, Limited is to be increased from $2,500,000 to $2,800,000. Many doubts regarding commencement this year on construction of plant were removed by announcement that arrangements for financing of enterprise were completed recently. B. W. Thompson, vice-president of J. D. Mc- _ Arthur Company ,who returned from Montreal, made public this statement. a The Abitibi Power & Paper Co. have definitely decided to go ahead with the original plan to complete the townsite at Iroquois Falls. employees of the company, no matter what position they occupy in the mill. Orders have been given by President Anson to start immediately on 25 houses. The dwellings will be of a moderate- priced comfortable type and will contain five fooms. Eight of them will be single houses and nine double, built on lots of 50 feet frontage to each house. c= bp eens 4 The Toronto sales office of the Schroeder Mills & ‘Timber Com- a pany, with Frank J. Archibald in charge, has been moved to 85 _ Richmond Street, 824 Federal Bldg., Toronto. The company have added a picket mill to the Lost Channel plant. The saw mill is cutting ~ about 140,000 ft. per day. The lumber and laths produced are loaded direct from the sorting tables on to flat cars and hauled via the Key Valley Railway a distance of 11 miles, to the piling ground at Pakesley, Ont., from where the product when seasoned is shipped via the Canadian Pacific Railway. ~ oie a % ~~ George B. Nicholson, president of Austin & Nicholson, Chapleau, Ont., states that lumber production in that district is fully up to last year. The movement has been fairly active and prices are _ slightly ahead of last season but no yet in harmony with operating costs. Austin & Nicholson are operating all their plants to capacity and have an abundance of logs for the season, their drives having come through with reasonable success. Labor conditions are reported by the firm as being extremely unsettled. There is considerable difficulty in securing men to get down to steady work and remain at it. It is not expected there will be any improvement in this respect in the near future. All this restlessness and unsettled attitude on “the part of labor tends to enhance the prices of the finished product. ie oe -_ - The tractor as a means of hauling logs from the woods into log- ging camp, loading platforms or booming grounds has found favor with Vancouver Island logging operators. Matt Hemmingsen, oper- ; ating at Cowichan Lake, has one tractor in service and is contemplat- ne ing the purchase of additional machines as he has found them of _ great service in carrying timber over the rough logging roads to the Take shore. Their operation has been found to be less costly than construction and operation of locomotives over steel tracks. The _ Genoa Logging Co., a subsidiary of the Cameron and Genoa Bay ‘companies, has two tractors in service now, giving satisfactory re- sults. It is reported that loggers operating in the Sooke district y along the line of the Canadian National Railways, and at other points CO! npartively near the west coast, are contemplating the operation of pers. instead of logging steam railroads. ux on _ ih Fh 10 tot aig hk ta ee ‘al This plan calls for housing accommodation for all the married — CANADA LUMBERMAN 71 WH ll | ve 17 cords They averaged per load After exhaustively testing their first Northern “Cat- erpillar”* Logger last winter, making closest compari- sons in costs and results with other methods and machines, the Mt.

Hauling day and night over common snow roads with many bad grades, each load averaged around 17 cords ‘of green unbarked spruce, a remarkable record over those roads. By the end of last season the total cord- age, the continuous operation, number of trips, low costs and the ability of the “Caterpillar” to meet every situation, convinced the Mt.

What One Tractor Did in Hauling On their limits in Madawaska, Ont., the Murray & Omanique Lumber Co., of Barry’s Bay, Ont., who last winter had one of the Linn logging tractors in operation, report that the machine gave good satisfaction. It did a large amount of hauling over a 414-mile road. This is nearly all down steep grades which had to be sanded. There were two upgrades of about 7 per cent., over which the Linn hauled seven or eight sleighs and a load on itself, making a total of 320 green hemlock logs to the trip. The tractor made four trips by day and when it worked nights, it made three trips and averaged well over 2000 hemlock logs for twenty-four hours or for seven trips, including the hours of daylight and darkness. Of these 2000 logs it is a fair estimate to state that not less than 25 per cent. of them were 24-feet timber and the balance 16-feet. As hemlock is well known to weigh as much as hardwood, this consisted of a pretty heavy load. and in addition to this, after the haul was over, the Murray & Oman- ique Lumber Co. got out with this tractor all their boom timber and also some 300 red oak logs which they require to use in the manu- facture of sleighs for next winter’s operation. Mr. Omanique said the tractor saved them a great deal more than if they had hauled the logs with horses, and took the place of, at least, twenty teams. He adds that if the firm had prepared for the tractor in the first place by possessing all No. 1 sleighs when they began, the machine would, no doubt, have done double the work. Lumber Cut Small Around Three Rivers The Wayagamack Pulp & Paper Co., Three Rivers, Que., state that they are not operating their sawmill very extensively this year but expect to cut some pine and a small quantity of spruce. Very few mills in that district are running on a large scale. “The cut will be smaller than usual,” says Frank I. Ritchie, manager of the Wayagamack Pulp & Paper Co., Limited. At the present time labor is plentiful for the mills but woods help is very scaree. Sarnia Lumber Co. Adds New Line _ A new building has been fitted up on South Vidal St., Sarnia, Ont., by McGibbon, Limited. ‘The structure is 40 x 60 feet, two- storeys high, and will be used for manufacturing stucco and composi- tion flooring by the Hachmeister Lind Co., of Pittsburg, who operate one of the largest chemical plants in the United States. The McGib- bon Company recently added these lines to their business and from their Sarnia plant they expect to supply the trade in Ontario. The firm already have booked orders in Kitchener, Stratford, Woodstock, Hamilton, Toronto and Quebec. The destruction of a forest is a direct loss to the public. A spark from a passing engine, or the dropping of a lighted match may cause the loss of timber worth millions of dollars. The public is thus deprived of lumber for building or construction purposes. It — takes from seventy-five to a hundred years or more, for trees in a forest to grow to maturity. “My 3,000 trees now form a complete windbreak and shelter for house and yard and also give me an ideal garden spot,’ wrote a central Manitoba farmer to the Director of Forestry recently. “The trees were planted in 1903 and 1904, approximately 3,000 being set out in the two years. Ninety-five per cent lived and made good growth, a perfect windbreak and protection to garden. One thousand dollars would not buy this shelter, no, nor three times that amount.” The home forest. in many sections of the country, the timber which the farm needs for buildings, fences, fuel, repairs of all kinds, and many other uses; and there will often be a surplus which can be sold in the form of standing timber, sawlogs, posts, cross-ties, pulpwood, fuel-wood, and heck of billets for making spokes, handles, spools, boxes, barrels, and excelsior. will supply CANADA LUMBERMAN 74 A POWDERED Hl It Pays to Supply the Cook With Milk Milk bread is one of the greatest muscle builders.

CANADA LUMBERMAN 33 BUY BRITISH COLUMBIA Cedar Shingles The life of a British Columbia Red Cedar Shingle Roof can almost be gauged by the life of the nail with which the shingle is nailed in place. Judging from available data, the average life of the ordinary steel wire nail, which has been in such common use, is only from seven to twelve years. Some wire nails will last longer, depending upon the condition of exposure, climate and similar : ; features, but considering our climate as a whole, at the end of from seven to twelve years a large percentage of wire nails will have rusted either completely through or so extensively that the first strong wind will complete the work. The shingles that have been held in position by such nails are then free to work down, permitting rains or melting snows to leak through and damage the interior of the structure. Examination will disclose that the fibre of the shingle itself is still in perfect condition, and a leaky roof, in the majority of occasions is due entirely to the use of faulty nails, but the average home owner, placed at such inconvenience, will not stop to reason this out and the poor wooden shingle comes in for more unjust abuse. There are several kinds of nails which experience has proven will give lasting satisfaction, and the wise dealer will advise his customers of these satisfactory nails. A pure zinc shingle nail meets all the demands of durability required. Its principal drawback is its high cost and a slight tendency to bend under careless driving. Galvanized wire nails theoretically are rust proof, and if the galvanized coating is properly applied, and of sufficient thickness, such a nail will last as long as the shingle it holds in place. The life of this shingle roof, properly applied with these nails then is from 40 to 50 years. Pure iron nails, or the old cut or wrought nails are ideal but difficult to secure. Copper nails also constitute a perfect shingle nail. Timms Phillips & Co., Ltd. | Vancouver Lumber Co., Ltd.

HEY didn‘t know it until Tropical Oil Resisting White revealed the waste on glossy white posts, bridge trees, and roller beds which had previously been so black and oil soaked the oil waste could not be seen. In these mills today the oil saving pays for Tropical Paint. The reduction in insur- ance premiums which the Underwriters allow for using Tropical Oil Resisting White and “keeping a clean house” is clear profit. In addition, THE FIRE RISK IS GREATLY REDUCED. If bearings over- heat, the danger of fire is less because tim- bers painted with Tropical Oil Resisting White do not absorb oil! Tropical Oil Resisting White is the best safe- guard against the fire menace of oil soaked timbers.

That conference is now being - held. The delegates from all parts of the Empire have received a most enthusiastic welcome. a The programme is an extensive one. In addition to the confer- ence proper, the meetings for which have taken place in Ottawa, a - tour of the entire Dominion has beenadmirably arranged. The trip is divided into four sections, Eastern Canada, Northern Ontario, the _ Prairie Provinces and the West. The object of the tour is to give _ the delegates an adequate idea of the forest resources of this country in relation to practically every branch of industry connected with - forest products. Thus the delegates have worked and will visit _ lumber mills, pulp and paper mills, camps, woodworking plants, _ nurseries, forest fire statiorts and the forests themselves. In the introduction to the general programme it is stated that the Canadian authorities are greatly indebted to Lord Lovat, Chair- man of the Imperial Forestry Commission and to his colleagues, _who have given unstintingly of their time and rendered valuable assistance. “In the arrangements of the tours, and in providing facilities for the inspection of industries, and other features, we are under a debt of gratitude to the provincial forest authorities, the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association, the Canadian Lumbermen’s Association, the Canadian National and ‘Canadian Pacific railways, all of whom have placed their best facilities at our disposal. The Conference is, as a _ body, indebted to numerous governmental organizations, private - companies and individuals who “have entered into the arrangements a with a generosity, hospitality, and spirit of helpfulness, which have * made the arduous task of organization a happy one for those respon- _ sible for it.” ag Delegates are in attendance from the United Kingdom, Aus- tralia, India, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, Crown Colonies of Nigeria, Kenya, Ceylon, Straits Settlement, and Federated Malay _ States, British Guiana and all parts of Canada. There are a number ~ of honorary and associate delegates also present. The officers of the conference are :-—Chairman—Major General Lord Lovat, K.T., K.C.M.G., D.S.O., Chairman, Imperial Forestry - Commission. ae ' Manager—E. H.

I shall watch the result of their labors with great interest. Their task will be to provide accurate information of our forest resources, to foster trade in British timbers, and to promote a sound policy of forest conservation throughout the Empire. By such means alone can we ensure that our present resources are used to the best advantage and our supply of timber maintained for the future. It will be the earnest endeavor of the Empire Forestry Association to create and support well-informed public opinion upon which the success of this policy must largely depend. “Of our affiliated societies the most important and successful is the Canadian Forestry Association, whose 13,000 members I con- gratulate upon a fine record of patriotic work. The forests of Canada are a priceless heritage and the association is rendering a great public service by fostering widespread interest.in them. May it grow and prosper. “T hope the conference will have far-reaching results and that one of these will be a greatly increased support of the Empire.

How rapidly this by fires, by insect pests, by exports of raw oitation and unnecessary and often wanton of us have begun to appreciate. “We recognize,’ he continued, “that to restrict trade in any direction is the last of measures to which a government should resort, and we are hopeful that in the benefits which will accrue to our for- esters from association, consultation and conference with forestry experts from other parts of the British Empire, as well as from information which we hope our own commission will elucidate, we may find a yet more excellent way of dealing with the problem of the economic development of our forest resources. We recognize that in the past we have been profligate with our forest wealth, that CUTIE depleted products, by undue exp! O7l, few if air) we have wasted our heritage, that, while we have ‘been proficient we have been deficient in preservation. Whilst we have talked in terms of quantity, we have lost sight often of the importance of quality, not without its cost to our trade. Some of these evils, and some of the misconceptions and false impressions which have grown out of them we hope this conference will go far to remove.” in utilization, Lord Lovat Ably Responds Lord Lovat, on being appointed chairman, said he was deeply alive to the honor done him. “This will be,” he said, “the greatest Brig. Gen. J. B. White, Montreal E. J. Zavitz, Toronto Who welcomed the delegates Provincial Forester of Ontario conference on forestry that has ever been held in the Empire. I feel at the same time that the greatness of the honor confers also great responsibilities. “On the subject of conferences in general, 1 am satisfied that the personal interchange of ideas is a necessary conception to the » modern idea of Empire. It is necessary if the Empire is to exist that we get together and share views. It is necessary for the constituent parts of the Empire to realize the ideal of the individual parts. It is necessary to consult together for policy and to take joint action. Without this I am afraid we shall fall into the errors that have fre- quently occurred in the past. Since the war if we have been taught anything it was that surely a machine can run for a common purpose, when there is an interchange of feeling and ideals. And we must employ this in times of peace.” The speaker stated that the experiments. carried on by. the old laboratories of the Old Country could be adapted to the newer coun- tries, and said that in research work one could help the other, He spoke of the many parts of the Empire that were represented and pointed particularly to the timber trade representatives. He said that industry had spent $120,000,000 in timber alone in 1920 and only 15 per cent. had been spent within the Empire. Speeches were also made by the representative from nearly every British possession in the world, including New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Ireland, Colonial Office, West Africa, East Africa, Malay States, Ceylon and British Guiana. The delegates commenced their tour of Eastern Canada on July 26th. Visit to Canadian Metropolis Montreal was the first city to be visited. The delegates arrived from Ottawa on a special train, part of which was equipped with CANADA LUMBERMAN On aca ‘belief that-the conference would be of benefit to the Empire and eve forest products and also with a pictorial representation of a vi before and after a forest fire. The visitors were received by Br General J. B. White and Mr. Edward Beck, the local committee in charge of the arrangements. ‘The party proceeded to the Forest Products Labotatories where they inspected each of the departments — under the guidance of Messrs. Kynoch, Blair, Coderre, ‘Cameron, — Hale and Maxwell. They visited the timber testing, pulp and paper, — paper-making and other sections. The luncheon at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel was presided over by Brig.-General J. B. White, who gave the delegates a very hearty welcome to Montreal and the province of Quebec. He expressed t greater benefit to Canada. It was realized that owing to fires an the budworm the forests were being depleted at too rapid a rate. It was important to find a solution of this matter and it was hoped 1 get advice from the men who attended the conference from differei parts of the Empire. It was particularly gratifying that Lord Loy was chairman of the conference. Some of those present had serve under Lord Lovat, and realized that anything he undertook he ca ried to a successful conclusion. ‘The speaker understood that the © delegates would be formally welcomed to _the province when they ~ visited Quebec, but he desired to convey a message received from — Hon. L. A. Taschereau, the Premier. The chairman declared that — the province of Quebec had the finést forest lands in the Dominion ~ and expressed appreciation of the co-operation given by the Pro- vincial Government to the lumber and forest industries. __ Lord Lovat, in reply, alluded to his association with the chair- — man during the war and declared that the work of General White — in the matter of directing the timber operations during the war had + not been properly appreciated. He worked for 24 hours, if need be, © and worked most efficiently. The delegates had been received with great kindness from the moment they landed. They came as learn- — ers, not teachers. The delegates were looking forward with great enthusiasm to the trip which had been worked out by Mr. Finlayson. — Called at Colleges and Paper Mills The party then went by cab to the top of Mount Royal and — afterwards by. motor car to Macdonald College, leaving in the even- ing by train for Proulx, where the conference was met by Mr. EIl- wood Wilson, chief of the forestry department of the Laurentide Company. The delegates visited the nurseries and plantations which | the Laurentide Company maintain at that point. Rain interfered with the shanty dinner, which was to have been served in the woods, but that portion of the programme was carried out in the dining car, shanty food being served by some of the company’s waitresses. In the afternoon an inspection was made of the Laurentide paper — mill. In the evening dinner was served the visitors at the Laurentide — Inn, after which, at 10 o’clock the party left by their special train over the Canadian National Railways for Jonquiere where they visited the extensive pulp and paper mills of Price Bros. & Co. The party inspected the Grand Decharge at the foot of Lake St. John, where a $45,000,000 hydro-electric development is going on. From here the party were motored over to Kenogami, where Sir William Price and his associates entertained them to lunch. From here they went on to Chicoutimi, where the mayor presented them with the freedom of the city, the keys of the city being placed in yee hands of Lord Lovat, chairman of the conference. s The Tour of Quebec Province After touring the Saguenay the company arrived at Burbec. on July 29th, leaving the next day for the Maritime Provinces. Lord Lovat and Sir James Calder were entertained by the Metapedia Salmon Club while the other delegates continued on the train to Campbellton, where they were met at the station by Premier Veniot and lumbermen from the district. Premier Veniot spoke a few words of welcome and the party was then divided into groups, each visiting different mills in the district. The party left Campbellton at 2 o’clock in the afternoon and proceeded by special train over the Canadian National Railways to Bathurst, N.B., where they were met by Mayor W. J. Kent and a number of prominent citizens. The afternoon was spent visiting various lumber and pulp mills and in the evening the conference was banqueted at the Gloucester Hotel. A representa- tive gathering of New Brunswick men attended the banquet, speeches being made by Premier Veniot, Mayor Kent, Lord Lovat and other overseas delegates to the conference. ~ The Future Supply of Timber That Canada’s future timber supply can never be obtained from planted forests, was the opinion expressed in a paper on “Silviculture” read by Dr. C. D. Howe, Dean of the Forestry Faculty of the Uni-. versity of Toronto, at one of the sessions of the British Empire For-. estry Conference. Dr. Howe referred to the exploitation of Canada’s timber wealth which had taken place in the past, and while this had made tree CANADA LUMBERMAN 59 FOREST AND MILL IN PICTURE Old growth cedar in Restigouche County, N.B. ; From four to eight per cent of the annual Clearing away burned timber at Windy Lake on the C.P.R., one of the logging cut of the Crown Lands of the province operations of W.

He indicated policies which be best calculated to conserve the supply of timber, and the necessity for the creation of forest reserves while there dealt R. L. Robinson of the British Forestry Commission, in com- menting upon Dr. Howe’s paper; felt that the outstanding point to stress was the lack of forest reserves in Eastern Canada. Forests of Eastern Canada, he said, had been depleted and fires had been uni- versal. He thought that the two foremost aims of Canadian forestry proponents should be rehabilitation of degraded areas and preven- tion of degradation in areas still untouched. E. J. Zavitz, Chief Forester for Ontario, stated that the problem of protecting forests in his Province from fires was so pressing that it would overshadow other forestry activities for years to come. Speakers contributing to the debate during the sitting were: Brig.-Gen. J. B. White, of the Riordon Company; Prof. Troup, of Oxford; Ellwood Wilson, forester for the Laurentide Paper Com- pany; P. Z. Caverhill; Sir James Calder; Mr. Prince, Chief Forester for New Brunswick; Mr. Naden, Deputy Minister of Lands for Bri- tish Columbia; Mr. Trevor, of the India Forest Service; Mr. Forbes, of Ireland; Mr. Fraser Story, and the Chaitman, Lord Lovat. Regeneration of the forest was, the subject of addresses at another session. A unique feature of South African procedure, said C. E. Leget, Chief Conservator of Forests for the Union, was that the ground was given complete treatment before planting, being cleared and plowed six months beforehand. Costs were accordingly high, he said, amounting to £5 to £10 an acre, but he claimed that this was offset by the very thick growth secured and early financial returns from thinning: operations. L. M. Ellis, Director of State Forests of New Zealand, spoke of plantation work in his country.. Experiments, he said, had been made with 200 kinds of trees, and decision was finally made in favor of four conifers, all derived from the Pacific coast of North America, the most widely used of which is the Douglas fir. During 1922 more than 12 million trees were planted out throughout New Zealand. Forestry Conference Delegates Visit Miramichi The Miramichi N. B., district was recently favored with a visit from the delegates of the Empire Forestry Conference and undoubt- edly it will be of a very great advantage to that section of Canada. These gentlemen, who toured Quebec and New Brunswick before the Conference in Ottawa began, came by automobile from Bathurst to the J. B. Snowball Company Depot Camp on the Bathurst Road. ' J. W. Brankley, Chatham, N.B. W. B. Snowball, Chatham, N.B. They extended greetings on behalf of the East of the Miramichi and were given an opportunity of partaking of a genuine “woods dinner.” After a satisfying meal prepared in cook Morrissy’s best style, Mr. W. B. Snowball, who presided at the din- ner, proposed the toast “The King” which was honored in the usual There they were welcomed by a number of prominent lumbermen manner. Then came the health of the visiting members coupling with it the name of Lord Lovat who responded in a happy way. He concluded by proposing the health of Mr. Snowball. In reply- ing, Mr. Snowball spoke briefly giving an account of his firm’s con- nection with the lumber business in that section during the pas forty-six years. After dinner, at which about one hundred were present, some time was spent in visiting the woods near the camp. The visitors were fortunate in having an opportunity to meet Dr. J. D. Tothill, Dr. F. C. Craighead and Mr. M. B. Dunn of the Federal Department of Entomology, who furnished much information regarding insect Various lumbering methods were illustrated around the ~ pests. camp and two hours were spent profitably. The visitors had an op-_ portunity of meeting Frank O’Connor, Camp Guardian, who for ~ over sixty years had been connected with lumbering on the Tabu- cintac. : ar On the way from Bathurst to the Depot many paid a visit to the - Red Pine Lookout Tower from which they viewed the surrounding — country and were impressed with the splendid stands of hardwoods. ager of the Miramichi Lumber Company, and the trip to Chatham was made by way of the Russell road and through Douglastown and Newcastle in order to give them some idea of the lumber industry on the Miramichi. The sight-seers arrived in Chatham at six o’clock _ where a number visited the J. B. Snowball Company’s mill. Coming in the Bathurst road the visitors made frequent stops to examine various interesting phases of the forests. Mr. H. P. Webb, forester of the J. B. Snowball Company, had placarded the route calling attention to the effect of insect pests and the different varieties of bark beetles following the budworm. Burns of various ages were also noted showing that the natural reforestation was very satisfactory. ty On arriving in Chatham the members of the conference and a number of others were entertained by Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Brankley at a lawn tea. At the close Mayor Hickey welcomed the delegates and expressed the satisfaction of the citizens in having such a body of dis- tinguished men present. Lord Lovat and Mr. Forbes voiced the thanks of the party to all who had contributed to the enjoyment of the best day of the itinerary. The day’s programme was concluded by a pleasant sail on the — 3 river on the “Alexandra” which returned to her wharf when the dele- gates boarded their train. An hour later the journey to St. John commenced. . } . The members of the conference who came from all parts of the Empire, were headed by Major General Lord Lovat and among them were Sir James Calder, Col. Courthope, M.P., and many other noted men connected with Forest Conservation. The party was accom- panied by Col. T. G. Loggie, Deputy Minister of Lands and Mines, A. T. Murchie, Superintendent of Scalers, and G. H. Prince Chief Forester. Hon. C. W. Robinson met the members and continued with them to St. John. The Dominion Government was represented by E. H. Finlayson, Acting Director of Forestry, and the C. N. R. management had com- mitted the comfort of the delegates to C. K. Howard, General Tourist Agent of the National lines. i Local arrangements for the visit and entertainment of the Con- ference members were in the hands of Messrs. W. B. and R. A. Snow- ball of the J. B. Snowball Company, and Mr. J. W. Brankley, Gen- eral Manager of the Miramichi Lumber Company. Everything pos- sible was done to make the visitors’ stay in the Miramichi a pleasant one. Sir Frederick is Ardent Conservationist Sir Frederick E. R. Becker, one of the board of directors of the British syndicate who recently purchased the controlling interest of the Chicoutimi pulp mill located at Chicoutimi, in the Quebec Saguenay district, is a firm advocate of the protection of the Cana- dian forests. Sir Frederick, who arrived from England on August Ist at Quebec by the Canadian Pacific “Empress of Scotland,” on business in connection with the Chicoutimi pulp mill, in an inte-- view, gave out the following statement which should be seriously considered at this time when the preservation of the Canadian for- ests has become a living public question. = Sir Frederick said:—The world position of pulp and paper is very interesting. The United States of America are said to consume 2,500,000 tons of news and printing paper per annum. It is said to increase over a period at the rate of nearly 8% annually. If a nation’s consumption of paper is the measure of its culture, it is said that our cousins in the United States certainly lead the world, con- suming, as they do, 50 lbs. of newsprint and printing paper per capita per annum. ‘The increase of production in Canada, great as — it is, will soon be consumed at this rate. ‘The United States are looking to Scandinavia, Finland, Germany, Czecho-Slovakia and~ Australia. Large supplies come from each of these countries and supplies are even drawn from England. This increase is not con- fined to the United States but statistics are natural and reliable there. s ¥ ‘At the conclusion of the visit to the camp the party boarded _motor cars which had been arranged for by Mr. J.

Originally lumber was dried in a building similar to a smoke. house and the European expression of “cured” lumber probably comes down to us due to the similarity in treating hams and wood alike. But the smoke house or hot box process was a slow tedious process. With the coming of the present commercial age, following the Civil War, an attempt was made to speed drying by blowing heated air rapidly across the lumber. This first attempt at speed was successful only when the drying temperatures were modified. When high temperatures, dry air and a fan were used simultaneously, the result was ruinous, and although some still hold to old fan kilns, usually of the common sense type, the majority of users have discontinued their operation. kilns still in operation use moderate temperatures only. The reaction from the fan kiln was to the ventilated type wherein there is a definite, though sluggish inflow of air through a system of ducts, around the lumber and then out a system of exhaust flues. This type, together with the condenser type, a slight modification, came in to vogue along the 90's, and by 1900 was ‘firmly approved. This kiln was successful in drying air-dried lumber and has been -uniformally adopted, because it combines the features of circulation and heat in moderation. The vast quantity production demanded during the World War would not permit of preliminary air seasoning and make it neces- sary to kiln dry green lumber. The Forest Products Laboratory was ready before hand with its knowledge of the importance of the rela- tive humidity of the air. Therefore, today, the modern kiln empha- sizes the importance of three main factors: one, heat; two, humidity ; three, circulation. Basic Principles of Drying A full, detailed discussion of the principles underlying proper lumber drying is not attempted here as they may be stated in a few sentences. “Do not dry the surface faster than the moisture can transfuse from the center through to the surface.” All drying formulas hinge on this fact. Case hardening, which is nothing more or less than excessively fast surface drying 5, shtivels the pores of the wood and thereby decreases the rate of flow of moisture through to the surface. Case hardening should be relieved, especially in hardwoods, as soon as possible. The end result of all lumber drying is to get the moisture out uniformly without setting up any stresses in so doing. In order to accomplish this, the drying power of the air must be know n. This is expressed commonly as the moisture deficit or “pick up” of the air and refers to its ability to absorb.more moisture. This drying power is determined by obtaining the relative humidity of the air. Relative humidity is simply the ratio of water vapor actually in the air to the maximum amount of vapor it can possibly retain at a given temperature. The temperature of a kiln should be controlled by an automatic It is necessary only that there is sufficient radiation to get any desired kiln temperature. The relative humidity is likewise controlled automatically by the steam spray line. Both temperature and humidity must be uni- formly distributed throughout the kiln by the corey designed and controlled circulation system. Circulation is Heart The circulation system of a kiln is the vital point to consider for upon it hinges kiln’s ultimate performance. The circulating sys- tem carries air of predetermined temperatures and humidities to the surface of the lumber, and if it fails to deliver to all the lumber the drying results correspond likewise. Not only must the air move in sufficient volume, but both surfaces of every iboard “wiped” with identical volumes of conditioned air. This leads to thgewobvious ¢onclusion that the circulation must be in a horizontal plane and parallel with the stickers for all flat piled lumber. Another point in considering circulation is the distance the air _ must travel across lumber without being reconditioned. A grain is -1/7000th of a pound and one cubic foot of air in picking up one grain of water cools approximately 7 deg. F. foot of air is forced to pick up several grains that its drying power _ is much less towards the end of its journey than at the start. e peccially it is possible to reduce this air travel to 37 feet in standard It is obvious that if a cubic Com- ‘by any one given cubic foot of air and the drying becomes more - The old fan size kilns and this feature alone is accountable for ‘great saving drying time. Furthermore, the high quality of lumber may be ma tained as any given cubic foot of air is not overloaded with wo to be done and therefore the relative humidty of the entering air may be maintained at a high point as long as the circulation is ee “s Thus, the more often the air is turned over, the less work is required — uiform, but if the circulation is sluggish, so that any cubic foot of ait y must absorb several grains of moisture, its relative humidity must be low at the start in order that it can do any drying at all at the end of its travel. The last feature to be considered is to eliminate all waste effo: By this I mean it is of no avail to move air around in the kiln ind criminately—the air should wipe across the surfaces of the boar only—all other air movement is wasted. ‘To insure this the ; should enter the center of the lumber pile in an inverted “V” shap flue and flow horizontally out to the sides of the pile and then directly out of the kiln. Summary of Kiln Debiva Thus the modern kiln should be automatically controled asi to. temperature and humidity. ‘ The circulation should be independent of internal atmospheric changes, i. e., mechanically forced. — SS The air travel should be short—3 % feet is plenty. All air move- ment, except through the lumber pile, should be eliminated. Any a mechanical means taken to secure the above conditions is bound to — bring results beyond that heretofore obtained. And it is interesting to note that this isa combination of the good features of kiln design nearly 75 years old with the elimination of temperature conditions now known to be harmful to successful operation. 4 But the best of kiln design is of no avail unless drying ioe 7. are applied to the lumber intelligently. It is wholly possible today — to accurately determine the moisture content in the shell or center — of the lumber; to determine if it is case hardened or not and to <_ observe the tendency to check honeycomb, etc. “a Given a correctly designed kiln, that is machine-like in its opera- -_ tion and in which all factors are under control, it is of prime impor- tance to observe and test the lumber frequently and to tabulate and record the results obtained under varying conditions. Only by so doing can one in time predict at all closely what conditions are best to use as lumber of course varies greatly in tex- ture and density, but given a correctly designed kiln the operator who knows his job can secure far superior results than in a kiln not incorporating the foregoing features. It is analagous to a high grade musical instrument yielding beautiful harmonies when under the touch of a master, but in the hands of a novice only discords result. To emphasize still further let me repeat the remarks of Mr. — Casseleer, of the Steinway Piano Co., before the Forest Products — Section of the A. S. M. E. in discussing kilns. He prefaced his. remark by stating his company operated “almost all kinds of kilns and that he had come to agree with the sick man that “Most any doctor would do but get me a good-looking nurse.” By all means get a good nurse but don’t make him or her play with a “sick kiln. Properly K. D. stock can cure many a “sick” company. — Be ae , There seems to be an ambition on the part of many to ae the “tricks of the trade” rather than the trade itself. : The many ‘iene of W. E. Bigwood, of Toronto, president oa Graves, Bigwood & Co., who was taken rather seriously iat his summer home Byng Inlet, Ont., recently, will be pleased to learn that he is making satisfactory progress towards recovery. z* Wi.

ErGondition of planing mill: One - of the most successful and enjoyable gatherings of the Southwestern Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association was held recently at West Lorne, Elgin County, when over thirty members were present and, on the invitation of the Seaman, Kent Co. visited At 2 o’clock the guests were shown through all departments of the industry which is run- _ ning at capacity and is known as the “oak flooring plant” of the firm. : ‘ : : Eyery operation was followed with the greatest interest and a short address was delivered by E. H. Stanners, sales manager, on what the company. has been doing to assist the dealer by a wide and diversi- fied advertising campaign. Mr. Frank Kent, president of the com- pany, Mr. T. A. Bissell, secretary-treasurer, and other officials were on hand to extend greetings. After a tour of the factory, which is the second largest in the chain of plants of the company, turns out 166,- 274 lineal feet of flooring daily and is equipped with three machines of the latest type, favorable remarks were made upon the well- lighted and economically arranged features of the buildings. __ ‘The retailers later adjourned to the village town hall where a business session of over an hour was held. A number of interesting matters in regard to the business outlook, trade ethics, shipping and sales conditions, etc., were discussed, and a profitable debate took place. George N. Kernohan, of London, president of the S.W.O.R.- L.D.A., presided and B. F. Clarke, of ‘Glencoe, secretary, outlined the proposed contest in the matter of clean and well- kept yards and better and more efficient fire protection. This matter has been under review for some time and the preliminaries have been well arranged. Fire Protection and Better Yard Contest Mr. Clarke outlined the following conditions as the basis of the competition, and the same was adopted. They are: Having a clean tidy lumber yard and planing mill will go a long way toward fire protection, and for this reason we have coupled the two together. ~ Anyone who has been over the different lumber yards in this district knows that there is room for a lot of improve- ment, and the idea of this contest is to stimulate interest in cleaner planing mills and lumber yards and to lessen the fire hazard. _ One lumber yard and planing mill in a small town has been successful in reducing the insurance rate from 3-1/2 to $1.87 while we know of others that companies are very shy about taking the risk at all. Br A very little time spent each day will keep a plant in the pink of condition, it will not only save itself many times over in:the lumber that you keep straight but it gives the men a pride in their work. Nothing will sell lumber better than a well-kept yard, and from all angles this contest should appeal to all good business men and will create a little friendly rivalty which | will do us all good.. Judging will be done on points and a certificate will be issued to each member each year as follows :— Condition of planing mill (if any) “ yard piles alleys stables and horses trucks (if any) eG Are floors kept clean of shavings, water barrels filled, if used, pails in their place, fire hose in good condition. Condition of yard: ‘Are pile bottoms kept up, general appearance. Condition of piles: Are piles kept straight, covered where necessary, no lumber thrown around? ‘Condition of alleys: " “if » Are weeds kept out, no rubbish around. Condition of stables and horses: aa ‘Are stables clean, horses well cared for, harness * cleaned? Condition of trucks: Do these look well cared for? lee a ishren ihe ae “ O, nt ns It was felt that it was rather late this year to inaugurate the competition but now that the provisions of the contest are known, every dealer in the district should get to work and do what he can to win the award in 1924. With respect to whom should make the awards, several sugges- tions were proffered and it was finally decided that Secretary Clarke should get in touch with the Board of Underwriters and see if their inspectors, which make rounds of the yards at stated periods during the year, would consent to act as referees in the contest. A certain number of points would be allowed for the best-kept yard and also for effective fire protection. It is likely that final judgment will be Hugh McKillop, M.P., West Lorne, Ont., who presided at the evening dinner tendered the visitors rendered after. two or three visits. Everyone present was of the opin- ion that such.a contest would prove beneficial and tend to create a healthy rivalry among the yardmen. In the matter of neatness, appearance, safety, reduction of in- surance rates, etc., further details in reference to the same will be taken up at the next meeting of the Southwestern Ontario Associa- tion which will likely be held in Glencoe in September at a date to be fixed upon. Social Evening Spent on Lawn After the business proceedings the members had the pleasure of witnessing a County League Baseball match between Dutton and West Lorne in which the latter won with conspicuous ease. There was some good ball playing, however, and brilliant stunts were pulled off on the part of not a few members of the contending nines. An open-air banquet was tendered the visitors by the Seaman, Kent Co., and a most enjoyable time was spent. The setting of the supper and social festivities was on the grounds of Wm. Merritt. The long rows of tables were artistically decorated with flowers and plants while the electric effects were very attractive. Numerous Chinese lanterns were strewn throughout the grounds while flags and streamers added to the gayety of the scene, the many good things being provided by the ladies of the Women’s Institute of West Elgin. Among the delicacies may be mentioned: Frésh Lake Erie ciscoe, West Lorne green peas, (the compliments of the West Lorne Can- ning Co.) roast young pork, raspberry pie, cabbage salad, ice cream, etc. After the wants of the inner man had been-well taken care of. several selections were sung by the West Lorne Male Quartette. Hugh C. McKillop, M. P., of West Lorne, who is widely known in lumbering circles, made a popular and efficient chairman. He wel: comed the members of the Southwestern Ontario Lumber Dealers’ Association and spoke of the importance of the industry to the ap perated steadily with an ever-increasing output and ortant factor in the progress of West Lorne. Mr. Mc- id a per oe. tribute to Mr. Kent for his fair-mindedness, go-ahead spirit and said the relations between the 1, Kent Co. a the municipal authorities had always been of sleasant character. those who delivered addresses were: Robert Irwin, superintendent of the West Lorne plant; T. E. MacKenzie, salesman of Seaman, Kent Co.; G. T. Bissell, secretary-treasurer of the com- Among Board of Trade; Horace Boultbee, of Toronto, secretary of the Ont- ario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association; G. B. VanBlaricom, of Toronto, editor of the “Canada Lumberman,” B. F. Clarke, of Glen- coe, secretary Southwestern Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Associ- ation; George H. Belton, of London; John A. McKillop, West Lorne; and Mrs. Ferguson, president of the Women’s Institute of West Elgin and others. A hearty vote of thanks was tendered the ladies. It was moved by Mr. Kernohan, of London, and seconded by Mr. R. H. Smith, of London, that a cordial vote of thanks be tendered the Seaman, Kent Co., for their hospitality and the splendid enter- tainment that had ‘been provided during the afternoon and evening. This was carried amid hearty applause and was suitably ac- knowledged by Frank Kent, president of the company, who spoke of the pleasure it afforded his firm to welcome such a large and representative gathering, and he trusted that their visit to the plant had been profitable and instructive. He also paid a tribute to West Lorne and the harmonious relations that had existed between the citizens, the council and the company since the location of the floor- ing plant there some three years ago. How Ottawa Plant Prevents Accidents - The important matter of preventing accidents in the mill-.s taken very seriously at the plant of James Davidson’s Sons, Ottawa, and their efforts in this direction are commendable. Those in the trade who are in a similar position as the Ottawa firm will read the “Mowing description of the care they give this matter. “We have here in Ottawa a very extensive plant and it takes constant vigilance and supervision to keep everything running smoothly all the time and keep all machines properly guarded, and at the same time not interfere with the production of the factory. It has been very difficult to get workmen to see or realize that the safety appliances on the machines are put there for their own protection and at some cost to their employer. We insist very strongly that the foreman of each department sees to it that the guards and safety devices are in working order and in their respective positions at all times, and in case of one of these guards or safety devices being out of ‘order they must report to the superintendent, who has this matter under his supervision. We also see to it that machines are kept in good repair and that belt covers, gears, etc., are guarded in the best possible way. In this way we ‘have contri- buted to the increased safety of our mill hands. In spite of all this however, accidents will happen, because it is impossible to safeguard a workman against his own errors, mis- taken methods, and in many instances—carelessness. An instance of a workman’s error came under my notice the latter part of last year. A bench hand had some boards which were required to be cut to certain lengths. He took this material to what is commonly called a combination machine. This machine has two arbors, which means that a rip-saw, also a cross-cut saw is in posi- tion ready for use at any time they are required. The workman pro- ceeded to square one end in the usual manner by using the cut-off rest. Then, instead of adjusting the stop on said rest, he set the rip- -saw guide the necessary distance from the cut-off saw and started to cut the other end by sliding the previously cut end against the guide mentioned. He cut the first one all right, but the second one was kicked back so violently against his mid-section as to put him out of commission for several weeks. Foolhardiness, carelessness and lack of concentration on the work in hand are some of the causes of accidents to the more experi- enced workmen. Carelessness or fumbling in-picking up stock from behind the saw causes many accidents. Short feeding produces like results. In both cases stock is thrown back by coming in contact with the back or top of saw and the operator is very often in posi- tion to act as an unwilling backstop. Severe injury from this cause is very common and fatal accidents are not unknown. The careless disposition of fingers while operating circular saws and buzz planers is responsible for most of the mishaps on these machines. ‘While it is right and proper that the unfortunate victims of such accidents be given the benefit of the doubt, still it is to be feared in many cases that honest confession would reveal the fact that at CANADA LUMBERMAN pany; E.

Hold Jolly Picnic The employees of the Buyer’s Door & Manufacturing ‘Co. Wed a a ‘Toronto, held a picnic at Woodbridge on July 21, when a most — enjoyable time was experienced by the employees, their families and — friends. The weatherman was on his best behaviour, and thanks to — the splendid work of the committee and their assistants everything — was a complete success. On arrival at the grounds a baseball mate was held between the single and married men, which was won by the single men, but | only after a close contest in which an extra innings was necessary to decide the issue. At one o’clock a delightful dinner was served at which 130 sat down. Afterwards the sports took place, there being | races for all, from the “tiny tots” to the married people These J. S. Bond, Toronto, ‘Who distributed the prizes to the winners contests were so keenly contested that there were dead heats in some events. The ladies’ balloon race and nail driving contest, sack race and three-legged race caused much spirited competition. — i The tug-of-war between teams from the upstairs shop and the lower mill, was won by the upstairs shop. After the races a ‘soccer football combat between the married and single men took place, the losers to stand the victors a melon feed. The single men ate the © melons, but the score was only 1-0, so the single chaps _ to ge ric } hard for their victory. During the afternoon the president, Mr. A. A.

The prizes were distributed after every race by the vice-president, Mr. J.

A vote of thanks was moved to the committee for the splendid and untiring manner in which they discharged their arduous duties, as the success of this initial picnic was due to their good work in organization and pre- paration. They received three well merited cheers and a tiger. So © successful was the picnic that expressions on all sides were heard © that it should be an annual event. * Se A Bh: Ae 4a tS (a ae Na sa os en oy Ray mberman founded 1880 The National Lumber Journal for Forty Years Issued on the Ist and 15th of every month by THOS.

No. 16 Vol. 48 Toronto, August 15, 1923 Factors in Building up Export Trade Trade commissioners and consuls have emphasized reliability as one of the most essential points in building up an export trade. For- eign buyers insist not only on getting goods suitable for their cus- tomers but also demand that. repeat orders shall be filled without variation. They will give business to those firms who will respect both the letter and the spirit of contracts. ; If pine is ordered, they do not want something else, and they require the goods to be manufactured for the requirements of the particular market. Many permanent buyers have been lost because exporters tried to substitute one class of goods for those ordered. In this connection a delegate to the Imperial Forestry Conference relates an incident which bears its own moral. He is interested in the lumber trade and, prior to the war placed a contract with a British firm. That contract was partly filled when the war put an end to the shipments to the colony in which he resides. He, there- fore, contracted with a firm of another country—not Canada. The goods sent were quite different to those ordered, were, in fact, un- suitable and resulted in a considerable loss to the buyer. When the war was over the British firm, who had obtained the original contract, not only shipped the balance of the goods but charged for them at the pre-war price, notwithstanding that values had advanced to an appreciable extent. The result is that the ex- porting house has made a permanent customer and the other con- cern has not obtained a cent’s worth of business beyond that which it failed to fill satisfactorily. _____ Incidentally, the representative to the Imperial Forestry Con- ference referred to stated that he tried to introduce Canadian spruce but his customers preferred pine and were prepared to pay the higher price. It was, he said, almost impossible to change custom- ___—s ers’ opinions—prejudices if you like—they were accustomed to use - certain woods and almost invariably refused to purchase other kinds. Larger Expenditure for Fire Protection A The forest policy of the Quebec Government has lately been the _ subject of caustic criticism, the chief allegations being that the Gov- 4 ernment is niggardly in the expenditure on fire prevention, the main _ burden of which is placed on the shoulders of the limit holders; that _ violations of the law are not adequately punished and that the colon- _ ization policy is not calculated to preserve the forests. At the banquet given to the delegates of the Imperial Forestry Conference at Quebec, Hon. Mr. Taschereau, the Premier, made a orous defence of the Government policy. He recalled the meas- Pri. ¢ 4 . ~ ei . vara By. Po ee ers eS Ly | CANADA LUMBERMAN 45 oes Ss ures passed to group settlers and keep them away from the lumber limits; the establishment of a forestry school; the taking of a forest inventory, in order to control the cut so that only the annual growth will be removed from the limit, thus making it perpetual; and the facilitity of the driving of logs. He added: “We cannot and will not sacrifice colonization to timber operations. Both should pro gress hand-in-hand. Limit holders and settlers are not and must not be enemies. There is room enough in Quebec for these two great assets, and our aim is to establish between them an entente cordiale that is possible and practicable. Such an entente is the interest of both.” While giving credit to the Government for their policy, it is clear that in regard to fire prevention, a great deal remains to be done. The fact, that year after year enormous destruction goes on, is evidence that the measures taken are not adequate and that the situation will have to be faced. Mr. Taschereau stated that the per- sonnel of the forestry service has been more than doubled in three years and that in 1922 the Government spent $318,000 in fighting fires. The limit holders are also spending large sums, through the forest protective associations, and in 1922 the members of the St. Maurice Forest Protective Association were assessed $89,819. Where is the additional money required to come from? In 1922 the income of the Lands and Forests Department was over $4,000,- 7 000 (it was a little less in the fiscal year of 1923). Having regard to this large sum, mainly raised from the limit holders for value re- ceived, the Government might surely devote an increased grant to the fire prevention side of the work of the Department. It is no use expending money on artificial reforestation if the trees are to be later destroyed by fire. The members of the Provincial Government have | expressed appreciation of the menace of these fires—will the Govern- | ment translate this appreciation into a larger expenditure in saving the forests? It may not be possible to eliminate fires but it is possible to take greater precautions. While the future may not be as black as some critics suggest, it is serious enough to call for greater pre- ventative measures. Central Committee on Lumber Standards Last January at the annual gathering of the Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers Association at Windsor, the activities of the Cen- tral Committee on Lumber Standards in the United States were | discussed briefly. It was decided at the convention that the Assv- ciation would follow the progress of the Central Committee. Since — that date much investigation work has been done by the Committee which should be of interest to retail lumber merchants, architects and ‘builders. | Without attempting to cover the whole field of progress that has been made to date by the Central Committee on Lumber Stand- ards and the co-operating Consulting Committee on Lumber Stand-— ards, it is important to note that standard widths and thicknesses for yard lumber tentatively have already been determined. This action | is described as a distinct step in progress towards the establishing of sound and simplified national standards for the manufacture and sale | of lumber. Another subject in which the building public is vitally — interested is that of odd and short lengths of lumber. This import- | ant question is now under consideration by the Practical Size inves- | tigating Committee—a subsidiary of the Consulting Committee. - In explanation of the meaning of odd and short lengths of lum-_ ber it should be said that standard sizes of lumber, following long’ established custom, are in even feet lengths, beginning with eight — feet and running up as high as sixteen. Odd lengths are, of course, the intermediate lengths of 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15 feet. A varying amount | of material is wasted in conforming to even lengths as, owing to } defects and the taper of the log, odd lengths often result in sawing } but have to be cut to meet standard size requirements. As for short lengths, it is plain for similar reasons that if the manufacturer makes — no boards under eight feet in length much of the material is also — wasted. In addition to the manufacturing wastes in both odd and short lengths it is notorious that there are huge carpentering wastes in cutting standard boards to meet building requirements where short lengths would be much more economical. It has been calculated roughly that the waste of good lumber material became of the cus- tom of\ not using odd and short lengths, is as much as ten or fifteen per cent. of the lumber content of the log. In these days of dwind- ling forest supplies such an item is well worth saving both from the |} consumers economy point of view and the general conservation of ~ forest resources. According to the architects of the National Lumber Manufac- turers Association the use of odd and short lengths of lumber of all — kinds is a conservation measure in which all those who have at heart the best interests of timber conservation—lumber manufacturers, dealers and consumers—are concerned. Lumber manufacturers are’ practically interested in the inclusion of more odd and short lengths of lumber in:shipments because this permits of more economical log utilization. It is apparent also that a larger proportion of odd and hee _ Association, _ different type of house is being constructed at the present time. _ today many or all of the following: _ fireplace, plate rail and panels, kitchen cabinet, expensive electric y this year, $1,325. _ which amounted to $1,201 in 1920, now amounts to $877.

In the first place the general average of all ‘buildin: Howew ver, some wholesalers, retailers and consumers object to materials is about twice as high in price as it was nine years ago and ~ odd and short lengths, They urge that these lengths increase the labor about the same. No economists hold that the general price — cost of bene ng, necessitate larger storage space and more capital. Other reasons given for their Gppoaion are that the inclusion of a large proportion of odd and short lengths in their stocks will increase overhead costs and result in a decreased turnover of stock. It seems, therefore, that the problem is not one primarily of manufacturing, but one of marketing. If contractors, architects and consumers, generally, demand long and short lengths the dealers will naturally meet their requirements. It is, therefore, desirable to ascertain to what extent the builder can adv antageously use odd and short lengths. The Practical Size Com- mittee desires the co-operation of builders and dealers in determining to just what extent the public really does require odd and short lengths and the percentage of them that may be used in average con- struction as compared with the total amount used. Survey of Lumber and Building Costs Years ago, when the-“high cost of living’ was a bagatelle com- pared to what it is now, the late J. J. Hill said, that after all the problem was not the high cost of living, but the cost of living high. Studies of the building situation in the various parts of the country indicate strongly—according to a review by the National Lumber Manufacturers Association—that a substantial proportion of the - increased cost of construction nowadays as compared with that of _ ten years ago, is due not so much to the high cost of materials and labor as to the cost of luxuries in both. The New Jersey Lumbermen’s Association, after a survey of comparative building costs in that state, points out that there really is no parallel between the cost of a dwelling house now and of the corresponding house ten years ago. “As a matter of fact,” says that “such comparison is not possible because an entirely You will find in the most unpretentious house that is being built sun parlor, window seats, open and bath-room fixtures, combination ranges, beam ceilings, built-in _ bookcases, colonnades, ‘breakfast nook, oak flooring, hardwood trim. All or many of these items were considered luxuries or fixtures even ten years ago, and were not considered a part of the construction cost; and yet today they are considered to be pec and add very materially to the construction cost. However, there has not been such a change in house standards in the last four or five years as to make comparisons of costs impos- _ sible. The New Jersey Association points out that when the actual cost of lumber entering into the construction of a house is considered in relation to the total cost and there is further taken into considera- tion the marked reduction in lumber prices since the spring of 1920, _ there is no justification for the cancellation of postponement of home building projects. The Association found that the lumber for a house bill, w hich cost $1,775 at Atlantic ‘City in April 1920, cost in April of Lumber for a typical small house bill in Newark, The smallest. showing in favor of 1923 able showing was 34 per cent. at Rutherford; the average was 27.4 The New Jersey Association puts the lumber cost of a In Wisconsin a lumber dealer at Fox Lake finds that a house _ there, which cost $7,828 in 1920 can now be built for $5,278—a com- _ plete home with seven rooms and bath, front and rear porches. The lumber cost of this house in 1920 was $3,600, replaceable now for _ $2,450. Comparative lumber bills for May 1920 and May 1923 were estimated by 39 lumber dealers in as many different Wisconsin cities and villages, with the reduction in favor of 1923 ranging from 10 per cent. to 33 per cent. The Northwestern Lumbermen’s. Association, of Minneapolis, had ten different bills in as many different cities and towns in _ Minnesota, Iowa and South Dakota, figured for May 1920 and May 1923. The estimates for the latter year average 26.4 lower than for ‘the former year. The Cleveland Board of Lumber Dealers calculates that a small house of six rooms requires 17,820 feet of lumber. In March 1920, this amount Of lumber cost $2,023.48. In May 1923 (and it would _be somewhat less today) it cost $1,370—a decline of $653.48, or - about 32 per cent. _ stories, with slate roof, furnace and wash trays, etc-—was $6,012 in The total cost of this house—22 x 26, full two 1920 and $4,940.05 in 1923. In fairness it should be pointed out that back in 1914 the lumber in this house would have cost only $649, but it is not to be expected , level of nine years ago will ever be regained—at least not in this generation. The general average of all commodities is now about — 50 per cent. higher than in 1914, but with respect to lumber the ~ situation is unique, for, while its price fluctuates from year to year according to varying conditions of supply and demand, its inevitable general trend is toward higher prices over a period of years. ; This is chiefly due to the facts that the basic supply—the forests, are ever dwindling in the face of increasing population—and that the main lumber supplies are now many hundreds, even thousands, — miles distant from the centres of consumption. The increasin length of lumber hauls, as well as the increasing railway rates i recent years, have been such that the cost of transportation of — lumber is now, sometimes, more than the entire delivered cost not — many years ago. s7... 140.00 in. 8 10. and up: wide .)...2.....-.- 145.00 24 in. and 3 in. 8 in. and up wide .. 190.00 AviniaSicim,and. tp wide so... .%).5 200.00 No. 1 Barn Heit elOrtori6 tt lone, jars $ 80.00 $ 90.00 iA et and. > at.) 10/16 ft. 2... 85.00 90.00 2i/-toys i, 10/16: ft) V3 os es 110.00 115.00 No. 2 Barn tein tO. tonl6rit long 350-06... % 65.00 75.00 1%, 1% and 2 in., 10/16 ft. ..... 66,00 - OPA ollA ANG Se iMscets siycia ence ae 85.00 No. 3 Barn 1 in., 10 to 16 ft. long .......... 48.00 55.00 1%, 1% and 2 in., 10/16 ft. ..... 50.00 56.00 Box 1, 1% and 1% in., 10/16 ft. .... 40.00 45.00 Mill Culls Mill Run Culls— 1 in. 4 in. and up wide, 6/16 ft. 31.00 Ae aan 2 fle Yorostets fe Sie a's 32.00 BUFFALO and TONAWANDA White Pine Wholesale Selling Price Wpperss 4/4esse sicaces ose tees cc eines $225.00 Wippers,\5/4 to 8/4602)...

The mill was recently destroyed by fire of unknown origin. x F, Villeneuve Lumber Co. Limited, of Walkerville, Ont., which ' was recently granted a charter, was established 20 years ago by F. ' Villeneuve in his own name. Previous to entering the retail lumber line, Mr. Villeneuve was superintendent and buyer of the _ Globe Furniture Co., of Walkerville. His associates in the business are his sons, Walter Villeneuve, being secretary-treasurer, general- manager and director and Leo J. Villeneuve superintendent and _ director. T. J. Villeneuve is a director, while F. Villeneuve is the president. : The Abernethy-Lougheed Logging Co. at Port Haney, B. C., are not taking any chances for forest fires this year. They have a number of rangers patrolling the forests night and day and are ex- pending $1500 per month in fire prevention measures. The company is one of the best equipped for fire fighting in the province and $8,000 have ‘been expended in additional equipment this year. Last year there was a serious fire in the company’s limits and a large quantity of valuable timber was destroyed. This year there has been only one outbreak so far. “ An attempt on the part of a farmer, Robert Anderson, to burn out a hornet’s nest near Jones Creek, Ont., caused a bush fire which threatened to assume serious proportions and which was responsible for assistance sent from Brockville. During the day a call for assis- tance was also received by the local department from the townships of Leeds and Lansdowne, where, in a tract of 400 acres of bush land between Oak Leaf and Lyndhurst, a serious fire had broken out. Farmers for miles around, led by Lt.-Col. A. W. Gray, M.P.P., fought the fire all day. The McNeil Lumber Co. Limited, of Montreal, will conduct extensive operations on the limit purchased from the McCool estate. They are making preparations for fall and winter activities and will erect a band mill at Eau Claire Station which is twelve miles west of _ Mattawa Junction. It is the intention of the McNeil Lumber Co., ~ to cut about 5,000,000 feet of hardwood lumber and 100,000 hard- wood ties. The mill will also be equipped for making shims. M. J. McNeil, who is the president of the company, is going over the limit for the location of the roads and camps, having particularly in view the possibilities for using tractors for hauling on the main roads to the mill yard and mill pond. Right Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King, Prime Minister of Canada, in greeting the delegates to the Empire Forestry Convention at the Victoria Memorial Museum, Ottawa, said that the Government of Canada will do all possible to avoid the imposition of an embargo on pulpwood going into the American Republic. His views on the matter seemed pointed and decisive when he said: we recognize that to restrict trade in any direction is the last measure to which a Gov- ernment should resort and we are hoping that the benefits which will accrue to our forests from consultation and conference with Forestry experts from all parts of the British Empire and through our own commission, may yet find a better way of dealing with the economic development of our forest resources. RS EE oe a OT eee ere Fie Wp Pe? a he ae The Alfred McDonald Lumber Co. have been operating their sawmill in Peterboro, Ont., at full capacity since June 30th and will - cut through until late in the fall. The company will saw this season about two and a half million feet in all, about 75% of which will be white pine, the balance being Norway pine, spruce, hemlock, basswood, elm and ash. The company have considerable cedar which will be converted into shingles and railway ties. During the _ past spring the firm installed in their sawmill a new William Hamil- - ton lath mill and will have a good cut of lath. The box factory, sash and door plant and planing mill are running full time. In these departments during the past few months several changes have been _ made and new machines added which will not only increase the out- _ put but improve the quality. ~ ‘The 32nd annual meeting of the Concatenated Order of Hoo Hoo _ will ‘be held in New Orleans September 8th to 12th. Many large _ lumber associations and companies are co-operating with the Order _ and the programme will be interesting and edifying. Speakers of _ national prominence will address the meeting and the New Orleans - committee has worked faithfully and diligently in bringing about - plans so that the entertainment and comfort of all the Hoo-Hoo and their families will be well looked after.

By the end of last season the total cord- ‘age, the continuous operation, number of trips, low costs and the ability of the “Caterpillar” to meet every situation, convinced the Mt. Murray officials that no other machine or method can successfully compete with the “Caterpillar.” Let us give you further facts about remarkable “Cat- erpillar” records on this, as well as on other Canadian pulpwood and lumber operations. “There is but one ‘‘Caterpillar’’—Holt builds it Telephone Uptown 1504 | Complete service stocks in all principal lumbering districts.

The remarkable condition is due to the marvelous efficiency of the Waterous Super Resaw which is handling all the slabs and half logs in this mill. The Waterous super resaw han- dles one slab at a time at high speed, consequently the sawyer is changing gauge continuously and each slab is subjected to quick analysis. The feed is speeded faster than the man can get the slabs into the machine, leaving a space of about 18 inches between the ends of the slabs and permitting the setter to change the size instantly so that every avail- able inch of good lumber is obtained from each slab. In the Waterous super resaw the slab and the board separate instant- ly by gravity, the slab falling on the slasher chains and the board going to the edger. Why not investigate the wonder- ful possibilities of this machine? Winnipeg, Man.

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

You will note that the grain of the wood is vertical and parallel. The result is that when an Edge- Grain Shingle becomes moist, then dries, all stresses and strains are absolutely parellel and equal, witn the result that an Edge-Grain Shingle cannot warp, cup, curl or split. * . Flat-Grain Shingle We illustrate here the ordinary flat-grain shingle, which will warp, cup and curl, The reason for this is explained by the fact that when a cedar log absorbs moisture, then dries out, it shrinks more than twice as much in the direction of tae circumfer- ence as it does in the direction of the diameter. Likewise, when a shingle cut with flat-grain be- comes moist and dries, it, too, shrinks more than twice as much in one direction as in another.

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

Recognized Authority for Forty Years Sounded 1880 No. 17 : Helping Along the Home Building Movement There are Many People Able and Willing to Undertake the Purchase of a Home, but Most of Them Need Financial Help and Sound Advice to put Them in Home Owner Class—This Article Outlines Practical Methods to Create Increased Building That Would Otherwise Never be Undertaken Any movement that will aid in home-building operations and cause a local structural campaign to be started, invariably benefits the retail lumberman. Building and loan associations in divers parts of the United States and, in a few centres in Canada, are doing their share to encourage tenants and young married couples to translate a desire of owning their own home into action and give practical out- let and expression to the thought that which many of these newly- weds entertain. At many lumbermen’s gatherings the encourage- ment of home-building is discussed but the great difficulty with many “prospects” is that they cannot see their way clear to finance the building of a “dove cot.” They have not saved up enough money and are diffident in regard to taking the risk in this period of climb- ing costs. Any movement, that will result in facilitating home-building and aid in solving the financing thereof is worthy of consideration and support. Some practical thoughts on this subject were recently presented by Frank Favor, president of the Massachusetts Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association, who declared that all yardmen were interested in pushing ahead home-building and arranging for the necessary loans so that work of this character could be carried on. Such structures utilize the largest share of lumber supplied by local yards. Mr Favor went on to say that he had no doubt that the average man desiring to have a roof over his head was most sincere in his belief that he has or can arrange his finances to pay for all the labor and material bills that go to make the cost of the completed dwell- ing. r. Favor proceeded:—But I find, almost invariably, and I think I speak of the majority of the yards doing*business today, that the home costs the owner more than he has planned and that after paying labor and other small items, he is short of funds sufficient to pay all the bills. My experience is that the lumber bill above all others is the last to be settled, and that it becomes necessary for the lumberman to take a small mortgage on the property. Now the lumberman being a substantial and reliable citizen in his community can usually borrow money on this mortgage as collateral at his bank. But this ties him up; it limits his borrowing capacity at his bank and eventually causes him many sleepless nights, dyspepsia, nervousness, and other things, not to mention baldheadedness and wrinkles. Letting Lumberman Have His Cash How to correct this trouble and let the retail lumberman have his cash is a problem which has been satisfactorily solved in but few communities. In my city of Gardner, Massachusetts, there has been put into operation a plan which has worked out successfully. We have a community of about 18,000 and we manufacture more chairs than any other place of our size in the world. Our public and get-to-gether spirit is strong. Sponsored by our local Chamber of Commerce, a Home Endorsement Committee was formed which works as follows: A man living in a tenement decides that he would like to build and own a home. He buys a piece of land and arranges with a car- penter or contractor to build his house. When the work has pro- gressed far enough, he places a mortgage either with a Savings Bank or a Building and Loan Association, which last we call Co-oper- ative Banks in Massachusetts. When the home is completed, the owner makes application for financial help with our Home Endorse- ment Committee. : Let us take for example a house costing $6,000 on which our Savings Bank has granted a loan of $3,800. The man that is build- ing the house must have at least 10 per cent. but we will assume that in this case, he has $1,000. He will then apply for $1,200 which is granted providing if after sufficient investigation, he is found to be steady, reliable and honest. Public Spirited Business Men ‘Now this Home Endorsement Committee is made up of 102 sub- stantial business men of our city who are interested in seeing the community grow and prosper. These men have signed the neces- sary papers agreeing to stand pro-rata any loss occasioned by taking second mortgages on new homes built in Gardner. These 102 guar- antors have elected a committee of five to carry on the work of the whole and transact business for it. The committee investigates every application for assistance and if it has been found that the (Continued on page 46) An attractive bunga- low effect has been obtained in this dwell- ing by bringing the roof down over the porch and the sunroom. ear oes eeneeeened a 40 CANADA LUMBERMAN sy @ The visit of the members of the Britsh Empire Forestry Con- ference to the Ontario Government Experimental Station at St. Wil- liams in Norfolk County, was most interesting and instructive. Lord Lovat, president of the conference, expressed much pleasure in regard to the skilled silviculture of cut-over woods, and the satis- factory plantation mixture of Scotch fir and larch. He was par- ticularly struck with the plantation of red pine and the European plantations in various mixtures. Beautifully kept nurseries, 600 acres in extent, contained some ten to fifteen million plants. Certain ingenious methods of watering dry, sandy soil appealed to him greatly. Asked about the recent work of the British Forestry Com- mission, which he represents, his Lordship mentioned that the com- mission has reafforested 10,000 acres in Great Britain. Moreover, with the aid of unemployment grants, sundry private landowners and corporate bodies had planted another 10,000 and prepared a fur- ther 10,000 for planting this year when unemployment struck the country in the coming winter. , The members, while visiting St. Williams, were tendered a luncheon by the Women’s Institute of Norfolk County. The dele- gates were much pleased with their visit and were greatly impressed with the possibilities of the nursery and with the efficiency with which the nursery was managed. Lord Lovat, in his address at the luncheon, stated that the nursery was an excellent example of what forestry could do to check permanently the progress of drifting sands, and of the work which could be accomplished in the pre- servation and regeneration of forest growth under proper scientific care and direction. SF SES The delegates to the British Empire Forestry Conference paid a visit to Queen’s Park, Toronto, and were officially received in the legislative chamber by Premier Ferguson and Hon. James Lyons, minister of lands and forests. The premier extended a hearty wel- come to the visitors and hoped that their mission would be success- ful, of becoming thoroughly acquainted with the forestry resources not only of Canada, but of all other countries. They had in Ontario a wealth of natural resources that awaited development, and which would do a great deal to expand and enrich this country. The prov- ince was pursuing an advanced policy with respect to its forestry interests. He hoped the result of the visit of the delegates would be to in- terest people from all countries who were desirous of improving their position and to acquaint them that opportunity awaited them in this country. The premier pointed out that the government of to-day, although only less than a month in office, was endeavoring to elab- orate rather comprehensive plans towards securing a type of immi- grant adapted to the needs of this country. Hon. Mr. Lyons also made a few appropriate remarks and hoped that the visitors would obtain much valuable information in their tour. Lord Lovat briefly replied, and thought that Canada, in regard to its resources, had succeeded better than the country to the south, in looking to the future in regard to its resources. The delegates were grateful for the kindness which had been accorded them in Can- ada, and if they could be of assistance by giving information they obtained elsewhere they would be glad to do so. W. Kynoch, Superintendent of the Forest Products Labora- tories, Montreal, addressed the conference on forest products tesearch. He stated that 50,000 tests on the strength properties of Canadian woods have been made to date by the Forest Products Laboratories. The question of the preservative treatment of rail- way ties, said Mr. Kynoch, is a very important one. There are 100,000,900 ties in use in Canada on railway lines. The life of these untreated ties is only six to seven years. Service tests are being conducted by the laboratories on treated ties in order to determine the processes whidh will give the greatest durability. Sir James Calder, C.B.E., one of the British delegates, and largely interested in the timber trade in Great Britain, presented a paper which dealt with the European sources of supply of coniferous timbers open to the British market. The States surrounding the Baltic comprised the largest sources of supply of timber used in Brief Echoes of Great Forestry Conference Delegates After Spending Some: Time in Ontario and the East are Now Touring the q Prairie Provinces—Proper Stock Taking of Canada’s Resources Urgently Needed ” ‘high freight rates from Canada and to favorable exchange with tl .

In the future Russia will be the biggest single factor in Europea soft wood supply, as there are tremendous areas of valuable conifer- ous forests still unexploited.. Describing conditions in the new State: of Finland, Poland, Latvia, Esthonia and Lithuania, Sir James announced that these countries had largely placed their forest pro- perties on a sound basis; that they were cutting in general not more — than the annual growth produced in their forests. Apt) teen In commenting on his observations during the recent tour of Eastern Canada, Sir James remarked that he was impressed with ~ the fact that the manufacturing methods are not so economical in Canada as, for instance, in Sweden. He realized, however, that economic conditions were quite different. A feature of Sweden saw- mill practice was the very thin saws used, resulting in the minimum waste as sawdust. Forest. plantation work in the Dominion of New Zealand, was discussed by Mr. L. M. Ellis, Director of State Forests of New — Zealand. The New Zealand Forest Service had found it possible in a measure to eliminate transplanting and to utilize the seedlings direct for final planting. New Zealand planted more trees per capita than any other section of the Empire. During 1922 over 12,000,000 plants were set out in state and private plantations of New Zealand. ° Heb) ease be The work of the commission in the British Isles was dealt with by Mr. R. L. Robinson, of the British Forestry Commission. He stated that the procedure in Great Britain followed the lines adopted in New Zealand. During 1922, 11,500 acres were planted with for- est trees, of which all but 250 acres were confiers, mostly species obtained from the Pacific coast. It was interesting to note that the seed from which the stock was derived was collected a few years ago by the Dominion Forest Service. ‘Twenty-two million plants were required to plant up the acreage in 1922. A detailed description of the organization and cost accounting methods employed by the British Forestry Commission concluded Mr. Robinson’s address. The morning session was concluded with an illustrated address by Prof. Troup, of Oxford University. Gee Owen Jones, Chairman of the Forest Commission of Victoria, carelessness.

Roy ameron of the Dominion Forest Service claimed that 90 per cent. forest fires were preventable. During the past five years there had been 28,896 forest fires in Canada, one-third of which covered reas of more than 10 acres: During those five years, he said, 10,009,- 000 acres had been burned over, with a property loss of $72,000,000, in addition to which one must add loss of labor and the depreciation of the soil. Speaking of preventative methods in vogue in Canada, Mr. Cameron referred to the aeroplane patrols, and added that some 80,000 head of live stock grazing in the national forests, by keeping down the accumulation of dead grass, afforded a real help in fire protection. * * It was decided to adopt Lord Lovat’s advice that a five year con- ference he held. It was thought that there should be some perma- nent official appointed to serve as a connecting link between conven- tions and it was suggested that Lord Lovat could serve in this capa- city if he were appointed President of the Conference with continu- ous tenure of the office. It was agreed that the delegates to the next conference should be drawn from timber users as well as timber tion. Canada’s part in inaugurating this policy was commended by, the delegates. eee estry, announced that no great changes in policy had been affected, but that despite financial stringency the funds provided for forestry work had been maintained and even slightly increased. Asrevised long. The abolishment of the Commission of the Conservation had resulted in taking over the forestry functions of that body by the Dominion Forest Service, thus. giving greater consolidation of activi- ties. The administration of timber on Dominion lands had not yet been co-ordinated, Mr. Finlayson stated Distribution of forest trees _ to farmers on the western prairies had progressed steadily. Over _ 5,000,009 trees were distributed during 1922. Work in silvicultural research had also progressed although much remained to be done. peg Speaking before the recently, in Ottawa, E. J. Zavitz, chief forester for Ontario, stated that one of the hardest problems to combat in Ontario forestry work was the practice, followed by many prospectors, of burning off the bush to expose minerals. G. H. Prince, chief forester for New Bruns- wick, stated that in his province fire prevention was the most import- ant consideration. New Brunswick had experienced a very bad fire last spring and general sentiment now recognized the absolute neces- sity of exercising greater precautions to prevent such losses. P. Z. that, while it was necessary to have fire protection before they pletely eliminated. Mr. Caverhill raised the point as to whether some responsibility did not accrue to Canada as a whole, and pos- sibly to the Empire also, to aid the province of British Columbia in solving its forest fire problems. : aca Wace J. A. Wilson, secretary of the Royal Canadian Air Force, dis- cussed what could be accomplished in the way of fire-ranging with the aid of the aeroplane. He said that 80 per cent. of all civil flying carried out in the last three years had been in connection with forestry work. Dealing with the question of undue expense which had been raised in some quarters, Mr. Wilson said that this was one of the problems which air officials had to solve. He believed that the time was coming when small, single-seater machines, using no more gasoline than a Ford car, could be used in forestry patrol. hone aes Roland D. Craig, of the Canadian Forest Service, Ottawa, spoke on the softwood resources of Canada, commented on the fact that the _ Statistics available were very incomplete and that the primary need _ of forest policy in Canada was a proper stock taking of Canada’s timber resources. Some work had been done in that connection. The and Nova Scotia, and an inventory of Ontario commenced” by that commission was being completed by the Dominion forest service in co-operation with the provincial forest servire of Ontario, New Brunswick had surveyed 60 per cent. of the Crown lands of that province. The tofal stand of.merchantable soft wood saw material in Canada was estimated at 440,000,000,000 feet board measure, or 96,000,090,000 cubic feet, and the total stand of merchantable timber of all classes which included besides saw material pulpwood, ties, poles, etc., was estimated at 198,000,000,000 chbic feet. over 2,600,000,009 cubic feet was cut, the value of which was $312, 680,000, Such utilization, however, represented only a portion of growers to a still greater extent than was observed at this conven- Speaking for Canada, E.

Fire, insects, , fu : ; and wasteful operations resulted in the destruction of several times the amount of timber annually used by the industries. Loss by fire had amounted to 790,000,000 cubic meet per annum on the average — for the last five-year period. Insects alone had destroyed pulpwood in Quebec and New Brunswick sufficient to supply the present needs — of the pulp and paper industries for a period of 29 years. Waste in exploitation was tremendous. Frequently up to 25 per cent. on the stand was left in the woods to become a prey to the almost inevitable fire. , Beh oer Colonel Henry Solon Graves, director of the Yale Forest Schoc New Haven, Mass., stated that although three-quarters of original soft wood forests of the United States had been cut ove it had been estimated that that’ country still contained more so wood timber than any other country except Russia. The Uni States is using her timber three or four times as fast as it is growing, he continued. In addition to the problem of bridging this gap, the country is faced with the fact that only one-fifth of the country’s — forest lands is publicly owned. The remaining four-fifths has been — alienated to private owners. Col. Graves pointed out that superfici- — Nearly two thousand - billion feet might seem inexhaustible.to the lay mind, but economic-_ ally, the fact that most of the stock lay over 2,000 miles from the — point of ultimate consumption, meant that the country was in a seri- — ous predicament. . ee , The New Brunswick: wood resources made a striking impression upon the members of the Empire Forestry delegates, who visited — that province recently. Lord Lovat said that the natural regenera- — tion, from what he had seen, was unequalled in any other part of — the Empire, and he expressed a belief that, except in rare instances, © reforestation would be unnecessary for nature provided the means — in a much better manner and more cheaply than man could do. At the banquet tendered the members of the party while in St. — John, the assemblege was addressed by Hon. C. W. Robinson, Minis- _ ter of Lands and Mines. He spoke of the importance in the coming of the distinguished guests and was proud that they had seen fit to visit this part of the country. Mr. Robinson said that New Bruns- — wick has some of the best timber resources in Canada, but the loss ~ from the bud worm during the last few years had been greater than the amount of lumber cut for many years. He thought that the forestry department was‘a credit to the province. The government, he added, was alive to the necessity of preserving the forests, but it was felt that there was no necessity for artificial reforestation in New Brunswick because nature had provided for this in a wondrous way. The very best brains in the country were needed to conserve the timber resources. He explained that, with proper methods and under the right conditions, the timber cut could be greatly increased and still provide more adequately for the future. ps 4 Mr. Robinson said that the province welcomed the visitors with open arms and wanted to obtain from them all the information they could give which might assist in preserving and utilizing to the best advantage the forest resources. Saeh The visitors went to Great Salmon River and made frequent stops enroute to examine forest conditions on the property of the Pejepscot Paper Company. Special pains were taken to enable the guests to learn the points of interest along the way. Signboards numbered 1 to 26 had been erected along the way through the whole wooded region and there was placed in the hands of each member a printed leaflet telling exactly what to expect or look for at that — place. The first four related to slash as a fire hazard, or the result of a fire from slash. Another called attention to softwood reproduc- tion coming abundantly in abandoned fields; another to the ravages of the budworm, another to lots cut over that are being held fora future crop of pulpwood so dense as to prevent reproduction; another — to a mixture of yellow birch and softwood ; another to the salvaging a for pulpwood of the tops of trees cut for long lumber and construc- tion timber, another to a plantation of Norway and red spruce, etc. At the plantation of Norway spruce Lord Lovat’s quick eye detected a drooping top and immediately he said, “you have the white pine He snapped off the top and proved his assertion. _ It was pointed out that the Pejepscot Paper Company has 96,000 acres of timberland in New Brunswick. Its intention is to study the yield of the property and cut saw-logs and pulpwood perpetually, the cut for each year equalling the growth. This year it aims to cut — - 3,500,000 feet of saw logs and 20,000 cords of pulpwood. It is opera- esters. The visitors also inspected the company’s large mill where _ long timber is being cut for the New York and New England | . markets. , “yl ; oS n : : = : el wea damage is great. ‘The company is also planning to make experiments _ ting in areas swept by the bud-worm salvaging what it can, -but the \ in thinning and girdling worthless hardwoods. It employs two for- _ questionnaire on Lumber Size Standardization, mailed out to thou- _ sands of retailers in all parts of the country under authority of the _ Permanent Standardization Committee of Lumber Retailers of the United States. The questionnaire dealt with a number of major propositions before the lumber industry for decision, and on which ~ definite or final action will be taken by all departments of the lumber _ industry at a conference planned for this Fall in Washington, D. C. _ Many more questionnaire replies are being constantly received, so _ that a final tabulation of them may be impossible for another month _ or more. Nevertheless, a report on the returns thus far will be of interest. : In the report herewith the several recommendations are taken up in the same order as listed in the questionnaire. RECOMMENDATION: That 13-16 in, be adopted as minimum thickness of the Standard “factory and “box” boards. ; Of the 1,363 questionnaires so far returned practically all who voted on this proposition are in favor of 13-16 in. Twenty-eight voted negatively, and practically all of these consider that 7-8 in. is far more desirable for a factory board than 13-16 in. 2 RECOMMENDATION: That 24-32 in. S1S or S2S be adopted as the minimum thickness of the Standard retail yard board. One hundred seventy-four voted in favor of 25-32 in. and 1,169 for 13-16 in. These replies came from 49 states and show 48 states voting in favor of 13-16 in. and 1 state in favor of 25-32 in. While it may be true that the great bulk of boards shipped at present are only _ % in. in thickness the vote on this question shows that dealers believe _ that 13-16 in., even at a higher cost, would be preferable and would _ ive better service. RECOMMENDATION: That 15% in. S1S or S2S be adopted as the minimum thickness for all standard dimensions not more than 12 in. wide. ~ Replies received to date show 378 dealers voting for 134 in. and _ 952 dealers for 134 in. Thirteen states favor 15@ in. and 29 states 134 in., the vote in 7 other states being evenly divided. RECOMMENDATION: That 35% in., 55% in., 7% in, and 11% in. S1E or S82E be adopted as the standard finished widths of boards, dimensions and finish. Four hundred eighty-one dealers are of the opinion that this _ recommendation would result in satisfactory standard finished widths of boards, dimension and finish and 787 dealers are of the opinion _ that such widths would not be satisfactory. An extremely large - number of those voting negatively on this recommendation state _ that 4% in. less than the full widths is the maximum that should be necessary and permitted when surfacing boards, dimensions and fin- ish on the edges. The interest displayed by the dealers from all parts of the coun- _ try in this recommendation is noteworthy and a great many com- - ments have been made to the effect that boards particularly should be full width when dry, and with the edges left rough. Dealers in _ large cities as well as in small country towns appear to have far - more complaints on widths than on thickness. RECOMMENDATION: That the terms “Inch Board” and ‘2 inch Dimension” be dropped and in the interest of sound business _ the terms “Standard Board” and “Standard Dimension” be used instead. _ ‘Two hundred and fourteen dealers voted favorably, 1,071 nega- tively and for the retention of the present terms. The vote also showed that the retail lumber dealers are opposed to any change from, the firmly established board unit of measurement. RECOMMENDATION: That consideration be given to the _ general production of ¥%4 in. Boards when not over 8 in. wide. 3 Four hundred and eighty-two dealers voted favorably, 655 deal- ers negatively. Some are in favor of even wider than 8 in. in % in. _ boards and call attention to the importance of this class boards for _ panel stock. Many who recorded an affirmative vote did so with the qualification that % in. boards be full % in. thick. _ RECOMMENDATION: That the standard weights to be used determining thickness and width shall be the commercially dry pping weights of the regional groups of manufacturers issued er approval of the’ Central Committee on Lumber Standards and in effect when shipment is made. The meaning of this recommendation is that when there is i. 2 é A great many replies have been made to the comprehensive | | wa see CANADA LUMBERMAN 43 | ‘Standard Sizes Favored by Many Retailers Odd Lengths are Not Endorsed and Should Not be Included in the Standard Grading Specifications Along with Even Lengths—Some Recommendations i i al el ae complaint on thickness or width the determination of whether the thickness and width are not as required shall take weight into con- sideration. Eight hundred and twenty-two dealers voted favorably on this proposition and two hundred and fifty-six negatively. Quite a ~ large number did not record a vote on this consideration. Recommendation of Minority Group The preceeding Recommendations are those supported by the majority of lumber manufacturers. The Minority, the North Caro- lina Pine Manufacturers Association, recommends the following: 1. A system of measurement. 2. Rigid Adherence to that system. That, therefore, the following be recommended: a. The recognition of the rule of board measurement as the sys- tem in use in this country, and that it be designated as the Ameri- can system. (4 b. That it is the obligation of the manufacturer to put his pro- duct in condition for commercial use and to that end all necessary waste, shrinkage and depreciation are properly borne by the manu- facturer. c. That lumber in the rough, when in condition for commerical use, shall be full to the indicated dimension with an allowance of a certain definite percentage for unavoidable variances from the exact size, d. That for dressing lumber the allowance shall be limited to that which is necessary to accomplish the purpose. e. That the standard thickness of lumber for yard and shop uses are as follows: 34 in., 1 in., 14% in., 1% in., 134 in., 2 in., 3 in., 4 in. The standard widths, are as follows: 4 in., 6 in., 8 in., 10 in., 12 in., etc., every additional width being two inches wider than the pre- ceeding one. That any intermediate thickness or width be considered as special. re f. That for structural sizes the thicknesses and widths begin at ~ six inches every additional width or thickness being two inches |) greater than the preceeding one, and that any intermediate thickness or width tbe considered as special. Six hundred and fifteen dealers voted favorable on these recom- mendations, many holding them to be preferable to the other recom- mendations. Four hundred and fifty-one dealers voted negatively, — many of these being in full accord with N. Carolina lumber manufac- — turers except for one thing, namely, the suggestion that there be | two standards for dimension, viz. 2 in. rough and 134 in. rough. | Some suggested that 5 in. should be added as a standard width for boards. Others suggested structural sizes begin with 4 in, thickness 7 instead of with 6 in. Odd Lengths and Short Lengths There is no definite recommendation before the industry on © these two propositions but the advisability has been tentatively sug- gested of the including both odd lengths and short lengths in the ~ Standard Grade Specifications. The question has been placed in the hands of Special Committee for intensive study and on this Com- | mittee the retail lumber dealers are ably represented by F. J. Ward J of Eclipse Lumber Company, Clinton, Iowa, and past president of © the Northwestern Lumbermen’s Assaciation. The appointment was made by Mr. Guy Gray, of Cleveland, Ohio, vice-Chairman of the Consulting Group of the Retailers. The comments by the dealers on these two important matters | are worthy of a special article and such will be issued. For the pre- | sent it will suffice to state that the dealers are overwhelmingly oppos- ed to the tenative recommendations. Twelve hundred and eighty-five voted negatively and thirty-three affirmatively on odd lengths while eleven hundred and ninety-eight dealers voted negatively on short lengths and 100 affirmatively. Opposed to Odd Lengths The vote indicates very definitely the retail lumber dealers are strongly opposed to odd lengths (except for 2x4—9 foot) being included in the Standard Grade Specifications. They are opposed to this because (a) the odd foot is wasted in selling—that is, the dealer gets ipaid for the next shorter even length; (b) studs, as customary placed, make odd lengths impractical; (c) odd lengths stock would inerease the necessary retail yard and shed capacity and, therefore, add to expense; (d) odd lengths would very greatly increase cost of | > 44 CANADA LUMBERMAN 1 ae ee oa er at retail and the extra cost of doing business would et advantages presumably gained as to conservation of handling lu mib more than offs timber supply. The vote on short lengths does not mean that dealers are un- willing to help market a fair proportion of shorts. It means rather that dealers believe shorts should be marketed separately from pre- sent standard lengths and at a price that will move them. It also means they are unalterably opposed to the inclusion of odd lengths with short lengths. The comments show that dealers, generally speaking, believe that shorter stock than 8 foot is impractical for retail yard purposes except a limited amount in uppers and they are very emphatic that short flooring should be end matched. Dealers believe the manufacturers should create a demand for short length stock. It can all be summed up as follows: Short and odd lengths should be sold separately, priced low, and shipped only on specific orders of the buyer. They. should not be included in the Standard Grade Specifications along with even and the present standard lengths. A detailed tabulation of questionnaire replies by states will be made at a future time, when all replies have been received and counted. Dealers Want Quebec Lien Law Amended The Province of Quebec Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association are co-operating with the ‘Montreal Builders’ Exchange and the suppliers of builders’ materials in order to secure an amendment of the Quebec Lien Law, which it is contended does not give adequate protection to those who supply materials. A meeting was held at the Builders’ Exchange on August 8th to consider an amendment to the law. Mr. K. D. Church presided. Lieut. Col. E. G. M. Cape and D. Bremner represented the contractors’ section of the Exchange; Mr. J. Donahue the sub-contractors’ section; Messrs. A. ‘T. Alexander; J. P. Dupuis and Stewart F. Rutherford, the suppliers of materials : Messrs. H. Lefebvre, secretary of the Builders’ Exchange; A. Balfry, secretary of the Credit Information Bureau, and G. A. Thompson, secretary of the P. Q. Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association, were also present. A discussion took place on the limit of thirty days after the supply of material during which time a lien must be taken out and it was argued that this clause was satisfactory. Attention was drawn to the Ontario Mechanics’ and Wage Earners’ Lien Law of 1923 and particularly to Clause 2, page 10, Clause 6, and Clause 12, sub-clause 4 page 5. These clauses were also stated to be satisfactory. Some discussion arose as to the case of a proprietor doing his own work. It was suggested that the suppliers of materials should register a lien inside of 30 days after completion of the work but, in the case of a contractor being employed by a proprietor, a lien on the _ property should be registered inside of 30 days after the first of the next month which followed sales. ; With regard to disputed accounts under the Ontario Lien Law, it was pointed out that the supplier of material may register a lien on the property to the extent of 80 per cent. of the account and the re- maining 20 per cent. may be brought before the court for adjustment, thus avoiding any tying up and preventing other liens being regis- tered on the same property. The following committee was appointed to study the clauses in the Ontario Act which are of interest to the suppliers of building material :—Messrs. A. T. Alexander, (Chairman) and D. Bremner, representing the Builders’ Exchange; J. P. Dupuis, retail lumber _ dealers; G. Benoit, Credit Information Bureau, and J. Laverty, Dom- _ inion Credit Associat‘on. Messrs. Balfry, Lefebvre and Thompson will act as joint secretaries. Messrs. J. P. Dupuis and D. Bremner were requested to take legal advice on certain points. The Assignment of Book Debts Act There was passed at the last session of the Ontario Legislature an act entitled “The Assignment of Book Debts,” which is now in _ force. This act known as No. 199 concerns lumbermen, woodwork- -ers and others, and according to information sent out recently by _ the Secretary of the W foleeale Lumber Dealers’ Association, Inc., Toronto, provides that an assignment, mortgage or other charge _ upon book debts or accounts, shall be null and ‘void as against the creditors of the assignor unless such assignment (a) is in writing; (b) is accompanied ‘by certain specified affidavits; (c) is registéred together with the affidavits within twenty- one days of the execution thereof. The clause relating to registration of assignments is as follows: “The assignment shall be registered in the office of the clerk of the county or district court of the. county or district in which the per- son making the assignment resides at the time of the execution thereof, or where the assignor is a company, in the office of the two storeys high, and open shed 20 x 120 feet. All dressed lumber the head office of the company is situate, or in the case of a compat having its head office out of Ontario, in the office of the clerk of the | county or district court of some one of the counties or districts with-_ in which the company has a branch or carries on business within — Ontario.” National Retail Association at Louisville The seventh annual convention of the National Retail: Lifabea f Dealers’ Association will be held at the Seelbach Hotel, Louisville, Ky., on October 9th, 10th and 11th. A number of interesting fea ures at the biggest national gathering in the history of the retail lw ber business is being looked forward to. It is likely that a visit w be paid by the delegates to the world-famous Mammoth Cave clo to Louisville.

The yard is laid out in four streets with piles on ‘each side. All . the piles are on 6 x 6 and 8 x 8 timbers placed on concrete butments. — All lumber, except that which is thoroughly dry, is piled with lath — between each layer and the fronts and sides. All piles are ae separate and plumb. a The yard is bounded on the north and east sides by streets, on a the south side by a railway siding and on the west ‘by the St. Law- a rence River where the firm have a dock and boathouse. The lime — house and cement shed are on the railway siding. In the northeast corner is situated the factory and the office, which is built of rein> forced concrete. The north side is closed from the street by corrugated iron lum- iber sheds. Mitchell & Wilson have a closed structure 50 x 60 feet, and upper erades of pine, B. C, cedar and fir are kept under cover. On account of the nearness of the yard to the river and the pe ground it occupies, drainage is rendered unnecessary. In the factory of Mitchell & Wilson, which is well equipped, — general mill and custom work is done and frames, sash, interior — trim, etc., turned out. For the unloading of cars, the firm use a truck and two trailers. The former is employed for general delivery pur- poses and between trips it pulls the loaded trailers from the siding to the lumber piles. The business of Mitchell & Wilson was established over thirty yea’s ago and continued under that name until January of last year when it was incorporated as a joint stock company under the name of Mitchell & Wilson, Limited. How Cheque Artist Victimizes Lumbermen - A cheque swindler is frequently abroad and his method of opera- tion is sometimes novel and original and at other times ordinary and stereotyped. It is a favorite pastime of such a swindler to enter an office of a retail lumber merchant, representing that he comes from an adjoining town and is putting up a valuable building. He then © presents a correct bill of material for the structure, asking the lum- berman if he can supply the required lengths and thicknesses, as well as the different kinds, quantities, etc. If he receives an answer in the affirmative and has established a fairly friendly footing with the yardman by ordering the material, he makes out or hands over — in advance an apparently valid cheque but of rather large amount. He promises to call for the lumber later in the day or week and re- ceives in cold cash the difference between the face value of ick ar cheque and his lumber bill. The paper comes back marked, . funds,” and the would-be purchaser fails to turn up for the goods that “a he ordered. 1D Recently one of these swindlers, a man 60 years old, ne had ra been operating in several towns across the border and victimizing lumber merchants, was sentenced to serve a prison term of ten years. The Boake Mfg. Co., Limited, Dartnell Ave., Toronto, have pur- © i chased a mill site and will likely start the building of a new mill next spring. ; : } te ws, SA ities hybrid - medal play—was held at the Beaconsfield Links. Pi Premiums. The clerk of the weather was in a propitious mood on August 15th when the Montreal lumbermen’s golf tournament—18 hole, It was a great day, ideal for golf, except that in the early part of the morning a strong - wind prevailed. Heavy rain the previous night had put the links h . into good condition. The tournament was the outcome of a suggestion by two or three members of the wholesale section. A committee, consisting of Messrs. C. Villiers, J. Buchanan, W. B. Blair, E. C. Plant, Arthur H. Campbell, A. Fenton and W. H. Cote, was formed, and promises of cups were promptly forthcoming from Mr. E. H. Lemay, the “Can- ada Lumberman,” Mr. Arthur y Campbell and Mr. L. G. Gravel. Through the good offices of Mr. Plant, the Beaconsfield Golf. Club placed their links at the disposal of the lumbermen. The organiza- tion of the contest involved a considerable amount of work bit the large gathering and an enjoyable day proved that it was not in vain. The tournament was open to the entire lumber trade of the city and entries were received from representatives of every section. The original entries numbered 28, but these were reduced to 23 actual players—and the Montreal lumber trade includes some who are counted among the best in the city. - The following were among those present, besides those who played and whose names will be found below:—Messrs. J. S. Bock, Eagle Lumber Co., Chairman of the Montreal Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association ; G. Lebel, president of the P. Q. Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association; J. P.

Campbell and Mr. E. R. L. Henry-Anderson were tied for the first prize, each with 75, a play-off was necessary. This resulted, after a strenuous contest. in the victory of Mr. Henry- Anderson, with a score of 77 against that of 79 for Mr. Campbell. This proved the most exciting match of the day. Mr. Campbell held an advantage on his handicap up to the last hole when he made a stroke which put the ball down a hill at the side of the green, among rocks. Although he made a fine recovery, the hole took ten strokes against five strokes by Mr. MHenry-Anderson, who won by two strokes. The second prize was secured by Mr. Campbell, while the third was won by Mr. W. Duncan. Mr. J. Buchanan took the cup for the best gross score, with 84, which gave hima net 77. This prize should have gone to Mr. Henry-Anderson who turned in a card of 80, but as — _ he was the winner of the first prize for the best net score, (no en- trant could win two prizes) the best gross cup went to Mr. Buchanan. The cups were afterwards presented, Mr. W. A. Filion handing over the first prize for the best net score (donated by Mr. E. H. — Lemay) to Mr. W. Duncan, the second prize for the second best net, to Mr. A. H. Campbell, the third prize for the best net (donated by Mr. L. G. Gravel) to Mr. W. Duncan and Mr. Mr. J. Buchanan.

This second mortgage together with a note signed by the committee of five representing and endorsed by the 102 business men, is given to a local bank for a loan of the requested amount. The Committee of five figure out with the householder the amount which he can pay monthly without depriving himself and family of the necessities of life. He pays into the bank holding the second mortgage, a payment that will gradually reduce his second mortgage, He pays no higher rate of interest than the bank charges, which is the lowest rate obtainable, and no bonus is paid in any way for the accommodation. Suppose this same house owner decides to place his first mortgage in a Co-operative Bank. In this instance, he pays only a small monthly payment on his second mortgage to- gether with the interest, and when he has paid enough on the first mortgage to warrant, the committee discharges the second mortgage. This scheme has worked well in Gardner and I think it will in any community up to 20,000. Beyond that, the plan would hardly be very feasible. Helping ll ES Qe Ye = ye nN ieee ol me ent eR So i A notice recently appeared in the Royal Gazette which is pub- lished at Fredericton, N. B. ‘The reference to further assessment under the Workmen’s Compensation Act is signed by John A. Sin- clair, chairman of the Board and is as follows:— Notice is hereby given that under and by virtue of the powers conferred on this Board by the Workmen’s Com- pensation Act, 1918, every employer who shall engage in any of the industries named below shall be and is further assessed, in addition to all previous assessments, at the rate mentioned opposite the name of such industry, upon the amount of the payroll of such employer (or otherwise, as the case may be) to be ascertained as provided in the said Act; Class 2 Sawmills; manufacture of pulp or paper ; woodworking; plan- ing mills; furniture factories; wicker and rattan work; log- ging; cutting of timber; pulpwood, firewood, railroad ties or sleepers; river driving, rafting, booming or the transpor- tation of logs, timber, pulpwood, firewood, railroad ties or sleepers; boat building, coffins, canoes, organs, pianos, arti- ficial limbs.

The present tate is 4 per cent. afid the extra assessment, as set forth in the Royal Gazette, is another 4 per cent., making 8 per cent. in all. The New Brunswick Lumbermen’s Association have been fight- ing the Workmen’s Compensation Board of that province for the past two or three years and have on various grounds, entered strong objections to its levies. The doubling of the rate would appear to be the last straw, and one leading operator stated the other day that 8 | Eastern Lumbermen Oppose Extra Rate Levied | by Workmen’s Compensation Board _from 30 per cent. to 50 per cent. more than the Board pays out for hey art REP Nae pe cy fart i Ot ae ee eee ot a The moral influence behind this scheme or plan is fine. people have enough money to build a house above the amount w they may borrow on a first mortgage. But they do not dare plac second mortgage. When the sort of help which we are providing is’ available, they will go ahead and build a house, often finding that | they can complete the work without any financial assistance. As a safeguard against undesirable tenement houses being con- . structed, it is particularly stated that loans shall be considered on ong ‘ and two family homes only. Another thing that we do is to make all second mortgages on demand so that if at any time the committee find things are not running smoothly and the householder is neglecting to pay his inter-— est, taxes, or letting the property depreciate, they can step in whip him into line or take the property if necessary. It is a pleas- ure to state that up to this time, not one payment is in arrears on the loans we have made on a second mortgage. We have found that a man will dig in and pay for his house if he has his own mon in the house to the extent of ten per cent. of the value. If this plan were worked out in other communities, it would relieve the retail lumbermen of one of their worries at least. \ per cent. is prohibitive and lumbering in “that or any other Province a could not stand it. A special general meeting of the New Brunswick Lumbermen’s Association has been called for Tuesday September 4th, at Freder- — icton, to consider this extra assessment and take such action as may be deemed advisable to protect the members’ New Brunswick millmen say that, owing to the Board’s inefficiency, the present re- sults have been brought about. One member states “The Work- men’s Compensation Board claims that we, the lumbermen, are not paying our way and that our assessments have not reached the amount paid out by the Board for deaths, accidents, etc., by some $160,000 or $170,000. As lumbermen, we strongly controvert aadet resent this claim because practically ‘all, if not all, our lumbering concerns of any size are paying in by way of assessment anywhere accidents, etc. . Y It is understood that the New Brunswick government has re- tained the services of an expert accountant, Mr. Chalk, from Price, Waterhouse & Co., to investigate fully the finances, actions and policy of the Board since its inception. The idea is to get complete information regarding the earnings of the Board so that the condi- tions which have prevailed regarding compensation may be modified by legislation not later than next session. It is understood that Mr. Chalk has almost completed his labors and will shortly submit a report to the provincial government. Rad More Lookout Towers for New Brunswick — The erection of a new seventy foot steel lookout tower for for- — est fire protection purposes has been completed on an elevation five miles south of St. Quentin, in the county of Restigouche, N Bet his: = lookout commands a view in all directions ranging between 20 and 30 miles and including all the settlement area of St. Quentin and Kedge- wick. Telephone communication has been established with a line running between Kedgewick and St.Quentin and will later be linked up with St. Leonards and the N. B. Telephone ‘Company’s system when plans are completed. Another lookout tower will be jhaeiel in Restigouche County on Blue Mountan on the head of the Benjamin river. This tower will be erected jointly by the Department of Lands and Mines and the Geodetic Survey and will probably be completed by fall. | The highest elevation secured in the erection of a lookout tower in the province has been obtained in the completion recently of a cabin lookout which has been placed on Mount ‘Carleton in Glouces- — ter county at an elevation of 2, 700 feet. Practically an unlimited view is Obtained from this lookout which has direct communication. with the town of Bathurst. _ The erection of lookout towers for fire protection purposes has continued throughout the Dominion, Ontario now possessing 180 such vantage points while Quebec has added a number to those — already in use, according to reports made at the British Empire For- | estry | Conference. re j ‘ g Hon. C. W. Robinson, Minister of Lands and Mines, recently said with regard to the burnt timber problem, which is pressing for ‘solution as a result of the devastating fires in the northern section _of New Brunswick early this summen, that the lessees must log the burnt timber this season or lease the tracts to those who will. He declared that he expected to be in a position to announce the Depart- - ment’s policy with regard to the logging of the burnt over country in a short time. . An area of seven hundred square miles had been covered by fires in the province this season and it is estimated that one million feet fe of lumber is standing in a more or less damaged condition. The _ problem is how to remove the timber in so short a time as possible so as to preserve merchantable qualities. _ ee Dr. J. D. Tothill, of Fredericton, N.B., returned recently from the head-waters of the Tobique where he inspected a considerable area of the fire swept timber lands. He said that eggs of boring _ insects, which cause the damage to the burnt timber as it stands, have been laid in immense quantities and that the prospect is that the borers will work their will on all timber which cannot be removed. * * 4 _Many operators, who have limits in the country covered by fires, _ have already started crews logging burnt trees. It is felt, however, that only a minor portion can be logged during the season, possibly 400,000 feet. During succeeding seasons it is believed that the dam- age will be so great that the value of the timber will be greatly depreciated. *x* * * ; Mr. Justice Chandler in Chambers recently handed down a decision in the Buckley case, which is of interest to lumbermen in this part of the country. It was a case of the Buckley Estate of _ Newcastle, N.B., vs. the Liverpool, London and Globe Insurance Companies and others. Following a fire, which destroyed their lum- ber, the Buckley Estate claimed $112,000 from the insurance com- panies as the valuation of the amount burned. The case eventually found its way into the court and Judge Chandler, in delivering judg- ment, placed the valuation at $24,800, but reserved decision in the matter of costs. * * x A mill, owned by Theodore Bosse and situated near Edmunds- ton, N.B., was recently destroyed by fire. The mill was in operation about a year. The cause of the fire is unknown. * Kk The Department of Lands and Mines recently gazetted an offi- cial notice that in future only autumn burning of slash, stumps or brush will be permitted. Such burning being forbidden in the spring. In autumn it will be permitted only when under the supervision of a fire warden, when general conditions are safe and at a place at least fifty feet from any forest. ~ ' ‘ * Ck OK There is a portion of the province of New Brunswick and an adjoining one in Nova Scotia that has been rather hard hit by the purchase of extensive lumber properties by Americans. These pro- perties were fot years the scene of active lumbering operations, pro- viding labor for men and teams and a market for supplies. The new ’ owners are holding them in-reserve and, as a result, the loss in work a such a course entails is said to be a serious matter for the localities _ interested. * * * j During the month of August the Province of New Brunswick was again threatened by serious forest fires and for a time it was _ feared that there would be a re-occurrance of the conflagrations _ which swept through the northern section earlier in the season. _ Heavy rains, however, haved the day and extinguished a fire four _ miles west of Campbellton, in Restigouche county, which was spread- _ ing rapidly in a valuable timber section. KK * All restriction on woods travel in the province of New Bruns- _ wick has been withdrawna ccording to an announcement given out cently by the Department of Lands and Mines. This was due to rain falls, which eliminated the danger of forest fires. The - Budget of News Briefs from Busy East f “_ a 4 ay i id Pea oN | ak ie poet 5) ee aan ae a CANADA LUMBERMAN 47 removal of the restriction does not mean that woods-travel can be- come general, but that on the issue of travel-permits the holders can enter the forests for fishing or other purposes. Damage estimated at $25,000 was done recently by a disastrous fire, which destroyed the planing mill of William Sullivan, Limited, and in addition wiped out over 5,000,000 feet of dressed lumber. Fire fighters from Newcastle and Craigsville aided the mill men in their successful efforts to save the large Sullivan sawmill, which is situated near Nelson, N.B. Among the buildings destroyed were the plan- ing mill, office, boarding house, cook-house, a dwelling and two barns. A strong wind fanned the flames and for a time it was feared the villages of Nowlansville and Craigsville were doomed. The fire originated in the Sullivan planing mill. All the mills in Nelson were shut down and their crews rushed to the scene. There is said to have been about $80,000 insurance on the lumber. An important lumber deal was recently consummated in Wey- mouth, N.S., when the large timber holdings of the Stehelin estate passed into the hands of a big syndicate. This valuable timber pro- perty is considered to be the greatest holding of virgin timber in the lower provinces and consists of upwards of 10,000 acres on which it is estimated there are from 80,000,000 to 100,000,000 feet of market- able lumber. It has been practically untouched and fortunately there have been no forest fires to devastate these valuable holdings. It was acquired by the late Emile Stehelin more than a quarter of a century ago. When he first came from France he erected a mill and other buildings about twelve miles from Weymouth and called the settlement New France. Later he connected this settlement with — Weymouth by a log railroad, but he only did sufficient lumbering ~ to pay his expenses. Even at that, it necessitated the building of tote roads through the woods and the erection of dams on streams for driving purposes. It is said that the offices of the new company will be in Weymouth and it is expected that shipping will be done from that port. As a result citizens of Weymouth are looking forward to a return of the former prosperous times when lumbering was in its prime in that section of the country. “This Is the House That Jack”—Did Not Build; and the Reasons Why F THERE is any one phase of present economic conditions in this country more clear to the general public than another it is the so-called housing situation. No community is free from the ammoyance and actual suffering due to lack of proper dwellings, no class or individual immune from-the blight, business and social, inevitably resulting from restricted living quarters and high rentals.

Wages in the building trades have mounted and pyramided until practically the entire housing’development of the country has reached the limit of capital’s ability to progress. It has been claimed that the high cost of building material should share in the blame. The pres- ident of the National Federation of Construction Industries stated that labor is estimated as 85 per cent of the building cost, adding, “This includes, of course the labor which goes into preparing raw material for construction purposes.” . ; y Within the past few weeks, at a meeting in New York of the American Construction Council, of which Mr. F. D. Roosevelt is president, it was declared that calling a halt to new construction was neces- sary to bring down “steadily mounting costs” in the industry.

The word has gone out from Chicago to all I.W.W. lumber w orkers to hold their jobs as far as possible and at the same time, through passive sabotage, make lumber production so unprofitable as to result in its termination. A recent number of the Lumber Workers’ Bulletin, an I.W.\W. sheet published in Chicago, instructs its followers in these words: “The employing class lives on our labor. It has to pay us wages, which are a part of what we produce, and every- thing ‘else we make for it is its profit on which it exists. When we cut down the profits—we starve capitalism. That is the only way it can be hurt. When we strike off the job, we stop the profits, but we stop the expenses too. Now we must all be on the job, drawing wages, but making no profit . for the boss. ag “It is not necessary to break any laws to do this. Fig- ure out just how little work you can do, and get by. Do that, and no more. Let every I.W.W. member point out to the unorganized that there is plenty of chance to get another job, if one is fired. Let no faller slaughter the virgin for- est too recklessly. Let no bucker slash into the logs too hurriedly. Remember that this is dangerous work, and every precaution should be taken to preserve human lives. Go slow. Rigging men, choker setters, loaders, donkey firers, remember that too rapid labor under the hot summer sun induces sun-stroke. Don’t do it. Don’t get out too many logs. Remember that when you have worked two hours, you have produced enough value to support yourself. Ev erything you do after that time is the boss’s—is a present to your enemy—and the enemy of your class! Take it easy. The boss will use all the profit you give him to op- press you, to build prisons for you, to hire gunmen to shoot you as Fellow Worker McKay was shot in “Aberdeen. Don’t put these guns into the hands of your enemies. Go slow. “Ev erybody on the job—and everybody loaf. ‘Organize all the time. Spread literature, talk to the uneducated, and hinder profits continually. These are our tactics from now on until the next strike off the job.” Old Square Timberman is Centenarian 7. Lewis Swenor, of Rossmore, Prince Edward County, Ont., _ recently celebrated his 100th birthday and a big celebration was held in his honor. He starts the second century of his life in good health. Greetings were extended by many public men including Hon. Nelson Parliament, former Speaker of the Ontario Legislature, W. W. An- derson, Ex. Warden of Prince Edward County and others. Mr. Swenor early in life was engaged in rafting square timber on the St. Lawrence, and in 1837 at the time of the battle of the Windmill near Prescott, he and his party were held up and not allowed to proceed up the river with a tow barge. Mr. Swenor is an early riser and always retires early and today _ enjoys a healthy appetite his only impairment being a slight deafness. His wife died 23 years ago. For some time Mr. Swenor made square timber between Rossmore and Carrying Place in Prince Edward County, and, with his brother rafted it down from the head of the bay _ of Quinte sailing when there was a wind or rowing when it was calm down the River St. Lawrence to Quebec. They had a bear cub for some time which was their mascot. Must Register Loans on Forest Products A new section of the Canadian Bank Act of importance to lum- _ bermen was added during the last session of the Parliament of Can- ada and came into effect on August Ist, 1923.

The wording of the new section is as follows: “88A. (Notice of intention to give security.)

This does not mean that a spirit of jingoism is being fostered, but that the Empire is being knit closer together and that the people as a whole are recognizing the value of co-operative effort for the promotion of mutual inter- #ests.- The British Empire Forestry Convention, which has been hold- ing its meetings in Canada, is an expression of this movement and of the trend towards trading within the Empire, which was so strongly advocated by Joseph Chamberlain. The exchange of ideas at such conferences is a necessary preliminary to joint action in the ' matter of finding ways and means to make the Empire self-sustain- ing in its timber supply. This may not be wholly possible but the _ information as to the resources of the Empire will, at least, enable the delegates to form a good idea as to the possibilities in the way _ of supplies and to formulate measures for conserving and increasing those supplies. The United Kingdom is the chief purchaser of lum- ber within the Empire and in 1920 bought 85 per cent. of her require- ments from various countries. Other parts of the Empire are also _ large customers for lumber which is imported from countries outside the Empire. The Forestry Conference can, by interchanging in- _ formation, do something in the direction of cutting down this heavy _ expenditure outside the Empire. +The subjects discussed covered a wide area, including the -“World’s Softwood Supply,” artificial and natural regeneration, forest fire protection, forest entomology and pathology, trade in _ forest products, forest products research and hardwoods. These cover both the commercial and technical aspects as it is obvious that Bit is just as important to consider the point as it is to consider the a question of securing a permanent supply of wood and of protecting _ that now in existence. _ The first conference was held in London and it was appropriate that the second should be held here, in view of the fact that Canada _ has: about one-half of the total 900,000 square miles of effective for- ests within the Empire. Unfortunately fire and insects are rapidly depleting those resources while wasteful methods have also played 2 heir part in reducing our forest wealth. The hope has been ex- pi ressed that the conference will contribute something worth while ‘in the way of alleviating the situation. i The delegates have been given every opportunity of inspecting t forests and lumber mills and of judging of the importance of this and of the pulp and paper industry of Canada. The pro- r ~ ee ; as oN , . ate aba a? LUMBERMAN 49 gramme has involved a visit from the extreme East to the extreme West, enabling the delegates to note the difference in logging and other methods, and of estimating the value of Canada as a source of supply for other parts of the Empire. Canada has given a royal welcome to the “greatest conference on forestry that has been held in the Empire,’ to use the phrase of Lord Lovat, the chairman of the conference. How Playing Golf Broadens Men The Montreal lumbermen’s golf tournament, the results of which will be found on another page, is an example of social gatherings which make for the consolidation of an industry. As Mr. J. S. Bock, chairman of the Montreal Wholesale Lumber Association, puts it :— “Any function which will make for the improvement of relations be- tween sections of a trade, is of real value to that trade.’ The im- provement may be of slow growth but it is certain to come. Too often men engaged in a given line are almost complete strangers; they may transact business by mail or telephone or may meet in a business way, but there is no co-operation between them in trade matters nor is there any of that social spirit which to foster friendli- ness and eradicates suspicion. We shall always have competition but it is obvious that court- eous and friendly rivalry is more desirable than that which is char- acterized by cut-throat methods. The best way of eliminating such competition is by the cultivation of a feeling of goodwill, by getting men to understand one another and, by such events as picnics and golf tournaments, establish common grounds for members of a trade meeting, and enjoying a social day. These associations, indeed, are calculated to improve relations all around. Is Artifical Lumber Practical? Experiments in the making of “artificial” lumber are arousing increasing interest among government officials and leaders in the lumber industry. Although none of the product has been marketed, officials of the National Lumber. Manufacturers Association declare that tests al- ready made of a synthetic composition produced by Minnesota lum- ber interests show it possesses many qualities making it available for structural purposes. The experiments are based on somewhat the same principle as that employed in the manufacture of paper from wood pulp. In the process not only the trunks and branches of young trees, but the leaves and smaller parts as well are ground up and mixed with other substances, virtually eliminating waste. The resulting compound is — capable of being moulded into sizes and shapes of almost any descrip- tion needed in building. Officials of the Lumber Manufacturers Association declare that — if a practical method of this sort can be perfected, the result may be to revolutionize the entire lumber industry. Aside from utilizing the present great waste in converting trees into usable lumber, they say, it presents a solution to the manufacturers’ problem of finding suf- ficient material in the country’s rapidly diminishing timber resources. From the time the standing tree is turned by the sawmill into planks and boards and applied in construction, from 60 to 65 per cent. has been wasted. This includes stumps, chips, bark and bran- ches, plank and log trimmings and a huge amount of sawdust. The new method will use all of this. It Isn’t Your Town—lIt’s You If you want to live in the kind of a town Like the kind of a town you like, You needn’t slip your clothes in a grip And start on a long, long hike. You'll only find what you left behind, For there’s nothing that’s really new. It’s a knock at yourself when you knock your town. It isn’t the town—it’s you. Real towns are not made by men afraid. Lest somebody else gets ahead, When everyone works and nobody shirks, You can raise a town from the dead. . And if while you make your personal stake. Your neighbours can make one, too, Your town will be what you want to see. It isn’t the town—it’s you. Newsy Paragraphs of Lumber Activities thes iBo ne A. E..

Tyler, manager of the Montreal warehouse of Seaman, Kent Co., Limited, passed away recently in Toronto. He was on the sales staff of the Garlock Machinery Co. and enjoyed a large friendship in the woodworking industry. W. B. Francis, of the John J. Soble Lumber Co., Inc., Rochester, N. Y., was a recent caller upon the trade in Toronto.. He reports _ that the hardwood lumber business which ‘has been rather quiet for _ the past ninety days, is getting better and quite a few woodworking _ industries are now in the market for limited quantities of lumber. . The lath market is fairly good at the present time and it is ex- ' pected that it will pick up materially next month. So far as the _ shingle situation is concerned, it is topsy-turvy. Very few shingle mills on the Pacific Coast are in operation and prices in the East are very unstable. The demand is light with decidedly fluctuating _ quotations. Recent convictions secured as a result of prosecutions instituted _ by Department of Lands and Mines for violations of the fire regu- - lations have resulted in fines being imposed at Totagouche, Glou- -cester County on Fred Smith, Israel Imhoff and Randolph Smith for - setting fires without a permit. Proceedings have also been started - against Ernest B. Merchant of Upper Kintore. Three hundred acres of good pulpwood land were destroyed at Ste. Anne in Madawaska County, N. B., by a fire supposed to have been set by Louis Ringuette lately. Action is being taken against _ Ringuette for violation of the fire regulations and it is expected that he will also be required to pay heavy damages to his neighbors as a _ result of the destruction of their pulpwood property. Piers will be built and the harbor dredged at Matane, Que., as soon as arrangements can be completed and the necessary work done. A contract for the abutments will be awarded shortly by the federal government. When the improvements have been made it will be possible to ship pulpwood from the Gaspe peninsula from Matane. At present it is shipped by rail at large cost from Levis. Joseph Picard, manufacturer of Quebec City, who was recently appointed chairman of the Pulpwood Commission, which will in- _ vestigate the advisability of an embargo on freehold pulpwood, is widely known in the Ancient Capital. He is secy-treas. and manager _ of the Rock City Tobacco Co., a chairman of the Quebec Catholic School Board and a former president of the Quebec Board of Trade. According to reports received from Quebec and. Ontario by pro- _ vincial employmengfbureaus, it is expected there will be a very large - out in the bush this year, particularly in Northeastern Ontario and _ Northern Quebec. A large number of men have already gone to the _ camps and help is scarce in certain sections. Wages are reported - to be running all the way from $40 to $50 a month, which is an in- ' crease of $5 to $10 over last year. W. E. Bigwood, president of Graves, Bigwood & Co., who some 1 ver, } firm’s 50 CANADA LUMBERMAN time ago was seized with a stroke at his summer home at Byn j Inlet, Ont., is making fair progress. Many friends in the lu industry trust his recovery may be such that he will once aga able to take his place at the head of the large enterprises with he has been so long associated.

These go straight or the machines and are cut into the standard size shingles. method of handling reduces the costs of the raw material consi ably, as a large amount of work is necessary to cut by hand split the logs into bolts in the bush.. This is an important fact now on account of the narrow margin upon which the shingle men are operating since the slump in the shingle prices. British Capital Neglects Timber Interests coe “A great proportion of the timber resources, logging enter- prises, and sawmill companies of British Columbia are owned in the — United States. Many areas of the best timberland are passing to — Americans. To some extent this is a natural business condition, — since the States are so near at hand, their timber resources are declining, and their experienced timbermen naturally cross an imagin- ary line upon the Western map. The complete lack of interest in this _ field shown by British capital has, however, intensified the transfer G into American hands of this main softwood supply of the British Empire.” ; This statement is made by M. A. Grainger, in the course of an article on the Canadian lumber industry in the Timber Trades Sec- tion published with The Times Trade and Engineering Supplement. — The writer also shows how ruthless exploration and the develop- — ment of the pulp and paper industry have devastated the forests of North America, and how the last great reserves—Washington, Ore- gon, British Columbia, and Alaska—are now being peneta ta tH Will Establish Forest Research Bureau The Department of Lands and Forests of Quebec are engaged on a scheme for the establishment of bureaux of forest research in various parts of the province. The proposal is being advanced it connection with the efforts of the Government to encourage tree planting and the reforestation of devastated areas. A comprehensive programme has been arranged in this connection by the officers of the Forestry Service and in a short time it will be presented to Hon. Mr. Mercier, Minister of Lands and Forests. Se Fa i At the last session of the Legislature, it will be ‘rented tees aa provisions were made for the establishment of a paper school a dia corps of forest rangers, but it is expected that at the next sessic further measures will be passed to allow for the expansion of tl scheme. Two schools will in all probability be established, one i Quebec and one at the Government nurseries. At these ’scho methods will be studied whereby the growth of trees a, be en couraged both by natural and artificial means. Particular attention will be paid to the tree seeds, their process ‘ of germination, their origin and the particular ground ‘best suited to their needs. Tree, Sheu. and plant culture will be studied in detail. The schools will serve somewhat the same functions as the demon- | stration farms established throughout the province by the Govern- ment, with the exception that their activities will be confined to trees ae only. A sum of $25,000 has been set aside by the Government for | che the furtherance of the scheme. ae Mr. McLellan on Pulpwood Commission R. W. McLellan} who has been appointed by the federal government as a member of the Royal Commission to enquire in- to the pulpwood resources of Canada and determine whether an embargo upon the export of pulpwood from freehold lands shall go into effect, is widely known in the Maritime Provin- ces. His selection as a member of the Commission is one which has met with wide approval from members of the lumbering, woodworking and pulp and paper interests. Mr. McLellan is a gentleman who is highly regard- ed by a large circle of friends for his breadth of vision, upright- ness and business ability. For several years he has been the energetic secretary-treasurer of the New Brunswick Lumber- sith men’s Association and he occu- pies a similar capacity in the South-west Miramichi Log Driving Co. In the practice of the legal profession he has been prominently iden- tified with lumber and pulpwood concerns for many years. It may be stated that Mr. McLellan is also a director of the Brookfield Linen Co., of Belfast, one of the largest linen manufacturing concerns in Ireland and, as such, has made frequent trips to the Ulster capi- tal. Some eleven years ago he organized the Palmer-McLellan Shoe- pack Co., with a capital stock of $75,000 and became its president. This concern is possibly the largest manufacturer of oil-tanned foot- wear in Canada. It is expected the Royal Commission on the export of pulpwood will start holding its sittings in the near future.

Mclellan, Fredericton, N.B. ee ee eS ee ee ee ey ee ~_ May Produce Paper From Western Straw Sir Frederick Becker, of London, Eng., who is spending several weeks in the Dominion in connection with his extensive pulp inter- ests, is aggressive and is of the firm conviction that there is an opportunity for the production of paper from the straw of the prairie provinces of Western Canada. Providing the necessary encouragement can be received from railways and other organizations in the matter of transportation, etc., it is likely that a mill to manufacture high-grade paper from straw will be in operation somewhere in Western Canada before the 1924 crop is ready for harvest. The plans of Sir Frederick Becker call for the establishment of the mill at some convenient central point. This has not been chosen, but it is possible that a paper mill may be established first at Winnipeg and perhaps a second mill somewhere in Saskatchewan. Sir Frederick said that the application of the system of making paper from straw is the real reason for his present visit to Canada and that he is not here to experiment but to apply knowledge that has been worked out in experiment and practised on in Europe. The manufacture of paper from straw is not a new thing but in the past has not always been successful. The new process, recently worked out, makes paper making from straw thoroughly practical and pro- duces a high grade, ain: ee —=—_- - * How Pulp Industry Grows in Canada ‘The preliminary report on the pulp and paper industry of Can- ada in 1922 just published by the Dominion bureau of statistics shows that there were 104 mills in operation during 1922, an increase of 4 mills over the preceding year and the total net value of the produc- tion of these mills was given at $155,785,388. While the value of pro- - duction is not as high as in 1920, the quantity of pulp and paper 4 actually produced was much greater, the drop in value being caused _ by the low prices which prevailed in 1922 compared with those cur- rent in 1920. f i a The amount of capital invested in the industry increased from ~ $379,812,751 in 1921 to $381,006,324 in 1922. The number of employees in the industry in 1922 aws 25,830 and the total payroll amounted to $32,918,955, which is somewhat lower ‘than the total for 1921 when the number of employes was 24,611. The total cut of pulpwood in 1922 was 3,923,940 cords, valued at 735,361, compared with a total of 3,273,131 cords-in 1921. .Of he total cut in 1922 the Canadian mills consumed 2,912,608 cords in ee OT ee ee CANADA LUMBERMAN 51 the manufacture of pulp and paper and 1,011,332 cords were exported in the raw state to the United States. The total production of wood pulp was 2,150,251 tons of a value of $84,947,598, and of paper, 1,366,815 tons, of a value of $106,260 078. The total quantity of wood pulp exported in 1922 amounted to 818,247 tons, of which 610,314 tons were sent to the United States. Exports of paper were yalued at $74,825,893, of which shipments to the United States amounted to $65,000,332. Shantymen’s Christian Association Work Grows The Shantymen’s Christian Association, the head office of which is at 15 Toronto St., Toronto, has begun the publication of a monthly magazine called “The Shantyman.” The editor of this bright and readable little paper is William Henderson, of Toronto, who is the aggressive and widely known superintendent of the Association. The first issue contains encouraging references to the progress and expan- sion of the work and the experiences of a number of missionaries in various parts of Canada and the United States in carrying the glad tidings to men in the camps. W. H. Adamson, treasurer of the Association, recently returned to Toronto from a business trip to Vancouver and while there made use of the opportunity to get acquainted with the work and workers in Victoria, Vancouver, Edmonton and Winnipeg. The object of the Shantymen’s Association is to carry the Gospel to the thousands employed in lumber, mining, construction and other camps and also to engage missionaries to carry on itinerant mission- ary work especially in places where no other Christian work is being done. The means to be used are such as seem best suited to the needs of each particular field. ,The movement is financed by voluntary contributions from friends and supporters of the good-cause, which is undenominational in char- acter and control and has developed rapidly in interest, importance and influence during recent years. Licensees Will Cut Damaged Timber It is reported that a thorough survey of the T. and N. O. Railway with a view to effecting economies and enhancing the efficiency with which it serves the north country, has been entered upon by the present Ontario Government. Premier Ferguson has announced a project which, it is claimed in addition to-saving the road $50,000 a year, will give Cochrane an industry employing about 100 men. The proposal to which the Government is giving serious con- sideration is the establishment of a creosoting plant at Cochrane for the purpose of treating the ties used by the T. and N. O. Railway. Expert opinion, which the Premier has secured, declares that the life of the railway ties can be doubled by being creosoted and, in view of the present price of ties and the fact that the T. and N. O. uses 200,000 of them annually, the scheme offers an important field for saving by the new administration. It is anticipated that the saving would run into the sum of $50,000 annually. It was stated recently by Hon. Mr. Ferguson that, with the extension of the T. and N. O. Railway north, an attempt had been made to follow the Abitibi River, with the result that costly bridge structures had been involved.. The only criticism offered regarding the extension of the line was that it was not tapping the northern timber resources as it should. In spite of the heavy carrying charges, the present government is confident that the opportunities of the north are such that the railway can be operated advantageously and efficiently both in the matter of financial return and of service ren- dered. During the last fiscal year the road returned to Ontario about $500,000. . Will Creosote Ties of T. & N. O. Road “We expect the licensees to cut this timber themselves during the season, or, if unable to do this themselves, to lease their areas to other licensees who can,” said Hon. C. W. Robinson, of Fredericton, Minister of Lands and Mines, in discussing the problem of remoy- ing the billion feet of timber standing in a more or less damaged state in the areas burned by forest fires in New Brunswick this season. He also stated that the work of surveying and mapping these areas and the compilation of the various quantities of timber affected has been pretty well completed, and should be available shortly. Mr Robinson also added that the department expected the various licensees to advise them of their individual intentions in regard to the salvaging of this burned timber, which must be removed as speedily as possible in order to preserve the merchantable qualities still retained. _ rible and unnecessary drain on industry: Lumbermen’s Safety Association is Doing Good Work Nene Timely Suggestions Offered with Regard to Men, Management and Methods—Ascending Rates There is a growing interest in accident prevention work and the majority of operators are keenly interested in seeing that Safety is kept to the forefront. It is pointed out that an accident is either preventable or not preventable, and, if preventable, the question is asked—‘“‘Why not prevent it?” If not preventable, the Workmen’s Compensation Act recompenses the worker in some degree for his injury. The employers can do much along sane, practical lines by educating themselves and those who are in their service in accident avoiding activities and thus cut down compensation by reducing the number. and the seriousness of accidents. At the annual meeting of the Lumbermen’s Safety Association which was held some time ago, the report of Frank Hawkins, sec- retary-treasurer, was presented and considerable interest taken in the proceedings. Wi. E. Bigwood is the president of the Association and R. F. Milne inspector. The secretary-treasurer gave some interest- ing statistics covering the past year and also a provisional statement of the gross income Gad expenditure in Class 1. With reference to the rates of assessment for 1922 adjusted and 1923, provisional the chairman of the Board advises the following changes: Provisional 1923. Adjusted 1922. $2.00 $1.50 Creosoting of Timber Operations which would otherwise be in more than one group in this class and in which the usual total annual pay roll does not exceed $19,000 3.50 4.00 The number of accident memos covering 1922 operations was 2920, whereas in 1921 there were 2760. There were 43 deaths occur- red in saw and planing mills and 147 in logging operations, 36 being due to falling trees and 37 to drowning. This record calls for the earnest personal interest of every em- ployer and every employee. Every accident no matter how trivial is just so nfuch waste—economic so far as dollars and cents are con- cerned—humanitarian and physical so far as the worker is concerned —injury causes inefficiency and increases the cost of living which in the long run adversely affects the worker. Let everybody work with the one idea of cutting out this ter- let us cut out the suffering and maiming. Among the sug noted Medical men should report more fully regarding the exact nature and extent of the accident and progress towards recovery. There should be some means of determining when the injured man should gestions made by members the following may be return to work and compensation cease. With reference to employers being covered by the Act—it was felt that the minimum wage of $1200 per annum was not unreason- able. The reporting in January of each year of estimated pay roll was considered to be reasonable, any increase or decrease in operations could be readily adjusted with the Board. It was pointed out by another member that where an employee whose wages are so much a month and board, if hurt in the woods and taken into the camp compensation being based on wages plus board, notwithstanding the fact that the employer is providing board meanwhile. On recovery the man puts his cheque in his pocket without paying for his board and leaves for other parts. , The em- ployer is put to additional expense and inconveniences in replacing the workman. There is apparently a strong feeling among members that the worker should Gontribute something towards the accident fund of the Workmen’s Compensation Board, although under the Act such a proceeding is specifically prohibited. A suggestion made at the monthly meeting of the Joint Safety Committee in Toronto, that the accident memos issued by the Board would be increased in value if the number of days work lost in each case were shown thereon, was concurred in.

A feature of Swedish saw mill practice was the thin saws used; resulting in the minimum waste as sawdust. It was a curious fact, said Sir James, that Sweden supplies box to the West Indies for shipment of bananas, These ‘boxes are man factured from slabs which in eastern Canada go into the burner. In view of Canada’s close trade connections with the West laid it seemed to him that it should be possible for this country to secure that trade and utilize material now destroyed. ‘os Matapedia Lumber Co. Will Rebuild Mill — The sawmill of the Matapedia Lumber Co., Limited, in the val-_ : ley of the Matapedia, about 35 miles west of Campbellton , N. B., was — recently destroyed by fire but the blaze did not touch any of the lumber or the other buildings. The mill was covered by insurance © but at the time it burned the company had over 3% million feet o lumber to saw. They will rebuild but donot expect to have the plar finshed soon enough to complete. the sawing this fall, so that it will somewhat reduce next year’s operations in the bush. a ‘ Speaking of lumber conditions in general, Mr. D. Champoux, who. around Restigouche, have not yet been definitely decided upon but — there is no doubt that a fair quantity of logs will be cut during the coming winter, especially in the burned districts. ‘The labor situa- ¢ tion is fairly favorable although a large number of men in that te ritory haye gone West to assist the harvest operations. ‘The. mz ity, however, are expected back after a couple of months and wages for lumberjacks will, probably, be somewhat higher than they were b a year ago. With respect to camp supplies, it is generally believed that he figures on these will be a little higher than last season. Licensees Will Cut Damaged Standing Timber ! the season, or, if unable to do this themselves, to lease. ee areas © x other licensees who can, said, Hon’ G..W.

The position, however, is healthy. Some wholesalers are of the opinion that there will be a further loss in values while others hold that the market will not show ‘any additional decreases worth speaking about, basing their view on _the ground that supplies, particularly of spruce, are not beyond what pariay, be termed the reasonable requirements for the remainder of the year. Manufacturers, it is asserted, are still holding out for their rices. BP The situation is thus summarized by one of the leading whole- - salers in Montreal :—‘“As far as I can see, the outlook is for a steady business during the balance of the year. "The buying has been heavy during the past three months and there is now a little lull while this lumber is going into consumption. All the old dry stock has been disposed of, and with the new cut which has been sold, the supply of lumber will not be more than sufficient to take care of the demand which may be expected in view of the building position and general _ trade conditions. On the whole I look for prices to be about main- tained, or a little lower, although, of cource there may be cases in which for special seasons values may be cut. There is no reason _ why we should sacrifice lumber.” According to advices from across the border, building is increas- ing and this should be a favorable factor for Canadian lumber. |” There is a let-up in the call for hardwoods, with a decline in the price of birch. The employment agencies are still advertising for men for the lumber industry. Apparently there is employment for every man who is willing to work. _ The Montreal retail trade is fairly active, due to the extensive building programme. The permit figures for July showed a falling off, being $1,619,370 as against $2,291,190 in the corresponding month of 1922. ‘The total for the seven months to date makes a good show- _ in, with $17,089,487 as compared with $11,433,694 in 1922. _ There are complaints of a shortage of cars, nothing serious as yet, this being, no doubt, to the sending of cars to the west in antici- _ pation of the harvest. ‘The lath market has picked up. After very extensive buying, there was a decided dullness, which has been followed by a large number of inquiries and more orders with the result that the price _ has hardened. The export section is almost dead. There is an abundance of - liner space available but little lumber to fill it. The mills in the Three Rivers district, which as a rule cut for the U.K. market, will not make a deal this year for overseas export. They are converting _ their trees into pulpwood instead. Boi Lumber Trade at St. John Slackens Somewhat a The lumber export trade at St. John at the present time is said to be quite profitable although the demand in the American market has slackened somewhat. This is also true of the English market. This summer the eyes of the lumber merchants have been turned _ towards the latter and there was some indication that the product, _ originally intended for the American market, would find its way _ to the English buyers, because of the decline for lumber across the border. Stocks of spruce are reported quite low in both markets, but in spite of this fact buyers seem cautious. In addition local shippers are a bit careful and are contracting only for amounts they E expect to get clear of without long delay. _ — One of the factors affecting provincial lumber in the United _ States is said to be due to competition from the West, which sends large consignments via the Panama Canal. In the English market _ the whitewood manufacturers are making keen competition for pro- _ vincial merchants. 4 _ The import of spruce deals into Manchester for the month of ' July was 830 standards, of Baltic red deals and whitewood, 7,500 _ standards; of Galatz, etc., whitewood, 3,160 standards. In 1921 there were no imports into Manchester from the Baltic or Galatz and a __ total of 4,210 standards from both in 1922. oes Che showing at Liverpool, Birkenhead and Garston is 1,320 standards of spruce compared with 1,750 from the Baltic and 460 from Galatz. On the whole, it is disclosed by these figures that, _ where formerly spruce and whitewood were about equal, the latter ¢ w away out in front, Statistics also reveal that at the end ps oe Or ag eae ies: yo Soe Pe ee A "eh == Liz of Galatz 4,280 and of spruce deals only 1,850. The exchange and the high cost of production are responsible for this situation. At the present time the cost of producing spruce lumber in New Bruns- wick is so high that it is impossible to compete successfully with European whitewood. Some buyers are demanding spruce and as a result there is a fair market for it. With regard to the American market the competition from the Pacific coast is being felt by maritime shippers. While prices are still firm the demand is flat. The uncertain industrial situation is largely responsible and lumber buyers are waiting to see if there is any strength behind forecasted activities before stocking up. The lath situation is at present very dull. However, if industrial activity continues, this commodity should pick up as stocks are said to be low. The fact that there are no large quantities being placed on the market, keeps the price firm. A late report shows that at the end of last month 2,150 standards had arrived at the Mersey (including the Manchester canal). The deliveries from stocks amounted to 3,000 standards, resulting in stocks being reduced to 6,450 standards, compared with 7,630 at the end of June, 1922. The stock in Manchester was extremely low. With reference to reports from Boston for dimension spruce they reveal decided differences of opinion among merchants. Some admit the probability of an improvement in the demand for provin- cial lumber after the vacation season, but do not believe that it will be of sufficient importance to render an advance practicable. They think that, if the present range of price is maintained, it will be quite as much as producers need expect; this being based on a shrinkage in the number of building permits, the large receipts of lumber by rail after the embargoes were lifted and the quantities of © Pacific Coast fir bought by yardmen at a low price since then. Others, however, take a more cheerful view. They admit what is said about the large additions to the retailers stock both by raif © and water, but contend that, if western fir continues to be sold at the prices recently accepted for it, the producers or middlemen will be in bankruptcy before very long. They also point out that althougii much has been taken into the yards, much also has been taken out. It is declared that there will be much building and this should im- crease the demand for provincial lumber of all sizes. They predict an early revival in demand. The demand for laths is dead and the price has fallen off from $6,50 and $7.00 to $6.00. Although the retaih figure is only $6.25 there is said to be little or no demand. With regard to shingles the call is only fair although the prices — remain firm, cedar extras still selling wholesale at $6.25 and cedar — clears for $5. 25: Quebec Exports Suffer From Dockers’ Strike There was a lull in the shipment of timber and sawn lumber — from the port of Quebec during the month of August, due to thé | strike of dock labor in the British ports and as a consequence con- gestion of these ports with barques unable to discharge their cargoes. — Owing to these conditions Queebe lumber firms, who have not com- | pleted their orders, have been requested by the British customers to — delay shipments until these strike conditions terminate. The present — labor difficulties at British ports are not countenanced by Labor * Union leaders who have seemingly lost all control of the workers, — but due to Russian propaganda with which the Labor Unions have been fed upon for some length of time to poison the minds of the workers to the great detriment of British shipping ‘interests. These unfortunate conditions have also had the effect of arresting the tim- s ber and sawn lumber importers in the British Isles from buying, with the result that the lumber trade in Great Britain, which appear- ed so promising in the beginning of the year, has been given a severe set-back, and even if the strikes among the labor laborers are soon settled, it will take months to recover the ground lost. Toward the closing days of August the. strike of the dock work- ers in London showed signs of an early collapse, but for more thaft a month the whole of the overseas trade of that great port was held |f up and caused congestion. The accumulation of shipping in the Thames will cause ‘delay at the docks for some months after the workers resume and the losses to the merchants will be considerable. From last accounts received it was difficult to fortell when the revott of the dock laborers against their leaders would terminate. In addition to about sixty ships to be discharged in the Surrey commercial docks, there were a considerable number lying in the (Continued on page 57) * 2 a 54 CANADA LUMBERMAN Des RE ee ae SR AR Se AT SRE REEICEREEN — "CURRENT LUMBER PRICES— WHOLESALE TORONTO 1% & 1%, 4 to 12, No. 2 & Better, clear, Gum, Red fir rough “Geen ecee percent 85.50 (Dry weight 3,300 Ibs. per M. ft.)

Saurwein, Ass’t. Mor. Lumber Trade Conditions (Continued from page 53) river bonne berths. These include vessels with parcels from the United States and Canada, as well as from Sweden, Finland and the White Sea, which accounts for the slump orders from the United Kingdom to the Canadian shippers and the request that no further _ shipments of wood gas, ordered be made until the strikes are settled. i The British agents of Quebec lumber exporting houses dealing 'q with the situation in their reports, point out that, at the end of July, '- there were over fifty vessels, more or less, timber-laden lying in the e - Surrey commercial docks awaiting discharge, and this number was | being daily added to in the two first weeks of August. At the same _ time there was a regular fleet of lumber-laden vessels lying in the | Thames. The effects of the strikes will likely continue for months following an arrangement with the workers and the importers will _ lose money. In the meantime in other places where the strikes do not exist, the consumption of wood continues good and the many schemes for hotsebuilding - have created an excellent demand for sawn lumber. Although the spirit of enterprise has been somewhat dampened _-by the laBor difficulties and a feeling of insecurity caused, the im- porters realized that the time must come when further goods will be needed, though they are leaving buying alone for the present and, with this viewpoint in mind, a Spirit of optimism still prevails. Though not holding out any definite encouragement, the British agents of the Canadian firms are of the opinion that, after the dis- appearance of the present labor difficulties, a reaction will follow which is likely to be shared in by the Canadian exporters and orders will enliven a brisk fall trade. The correspondents report that, for some months past, it has been extremely difficult to weigh up the situation, taking into consideration politics and the abnormal de- -flation in the rates of continental exchange which has sorely tried the patience of the British business public as well as the Government and in the end forced the latter to speak plainly to France. It is realized in England that the great war ended in 1918 with the defeat of the Germans but, ever since there has been another war, an economic war, which like a cancer has been eating into the vitals of trade and the commerce of the world, a war of destruction which England can no longer condone. It is the general belief that the firm tone of the British note will hasten a settlement notwith- standing the evident resentment of France. _ -‘Mr. Austin Wilson, of the London and North Eastern Railway, who was recently appointed by the British Government to proceed to New Zealand and remain in that country until 1926 in the interest of Empire trade, arrived in Quebec lately en route to New Zealand, and in the course of an interview on the European political situation and trade conditions generally in England, said: “The British pub- lic were behind the Government in the last note sent to France and Belgium over the Ruhr situation and looked for a means to effect an early settleemnt. England has stood the test of the economic war as long as it has been possible to do so but, now the time had arrived __ to put an end to the situation which, if continued much longer, would lead to the ecomomic destruction of the world. England has no sympathy or pity for the Germans and maintains the greatest friend- ship for France. Nevertheless the future of the civilized world de- pends upon a settlement of the Ruhr dispute and France must listen to reason in this respect or England will be obliged to deal with the question as she thinks best in the interest of peace and commerce of the European world. There is considerable buying power left in England and if the position was more hopeful business would - greatly improve. _ “VYhe underlying causes of general trade depression are the state _ of Europe and the continued depreciation of exchange and England __ has concluded to take a more active and definite stand in an endeavor, by her influence and prestige, to awaken other nations to a realization __ of the deadly policy of financial drift. In the meantime it must be admitted that the wealth of our own country has been sadly de- pleted and our capacity to help other nations is limited. There fs no doubt but that the continent of Europe will have to pass through a critical period before much progress in the upward trend can be made, but should the settlement of the Ruhr question come about soon, as I expect it shall, it will brighten the hopes of all nations and be the dawn of an era of reaction in the trade and peace of the world and will be the beginning of the end of the curse of Bolshevism. _ “In the meantime,’ said Mr. Wilson, “There prevails a spirit optimism in England, the British public have implicit faith in eir government and, if it were not for the large army of unemploy- ent in the country which is the cause of much concern, England ld not in the least worry. Canada and the United States have up to the present immune from European chaos, but should the tion continue much longer without a sane settlement, Europe ue the proney. to buy.

The improvement in the demand came principally from the United States, and was for the better grades and the mill run stocks. The local demand while fairly quiet re- mained steady. Inquiries showed an increase and this was taken as meaning that better business was probably ahead for the fall months. Lumbermen expect that trade in general will show an increase during the next three or four months. Lath and shingles remained quiet. Labor with the sawmills, woodworking plants, and factories, re- mained plentiful, but for the woods camps it was very scarce and an advance in wages amounting to $10 per month, over last year was noted.- The wages being paid at the end of August ranged from $35 to $45, and it was forecasted that if the shortage of help con- tinued that wages might go as high as $50 or $55 per month. The scarcity of men available to go to the bush was attributed to the large number who went from the east to help garner the western harvest. Locally farmers and their sons had ‘their own crops to attend to and save and were not considering going to the shanties. After the harvest has been safely stored away, it is ex- pected, that there will be a fair amount of woods labor available. Transportation both by rail and water remained satisfactory. Several of the planing mills were kept fairly busy dressing lumber in transit. Conditions with the woodworking plants and “factories remained unchanged. Ontario Trade Quiet and Competition Keener There is not much change in the lumber situation in Ontario — except that trade has been quiet during the past two weeks and buy- | ing has fallen off considerably. There has been an easing up in prices in some lines of hemlock and Southern pine and Wisconsin and Michigan hemlock are proving strong competitors to the Ontario products quotations on which have been cut by some firms from $2 to $3. White pine and spruce are holding their own and are still in fair demand. The great question that faces the lumber companies at the pre- sent time is in the matter of securing men for logging operations. A large number of hands have left for the Prairie provinces and some mills have been inconvenienced in getting help to take the place of © the absentees. So far as logging operations are concerned, wages being offered at the present time run from $40 to $45 a month which is “$5 more — than last year , and even at this figure there are not enough lumber- — jacks forthcoming. The suspension of the Home Bank has been a somewhat dis- — turbing factor on the industry as a few lumber and woodworking firms had their accounts with the financial institution. This collapse — naturally causes a tightening up on the part of other banks and short-_ ens the credit extended to lumbermen in their legitimate operations. Business has also fallen off considerable on the other side and is quiet in consuming centres where quantities of Canadian white pine © are regularly disposed of. . Receipts of new stock from the lumber mills have been rather — light, so far as dry material is concerned, and is later in coming on the market than usual. While stocks in retail rural yards have run — low, there is no disposition to replenish at the present juncture until © it is definitely known how the crops will turn out and the prices that — will prevail for cereals, live stock and dairy products during the fall — months. Generally, the expectations are that there will be a gradual increase in buying next month as both city and country yards pre- pare for fall trade. Continuation of building on a fairly large scale in most of the cities is one gratifying sign of fall turnover in forest products and that lumber will continue to be in moderate demand. In hardwoods, shipments have been going forward in satisfactory volume but business locally is dull. Practically all the sales made are to consumers across the line. One leading authority states that the market during the fall will be receptive, prices reasonable and the general mov ement, in which there has been no appreciable change for some time, satisfactory. The trade is just now coming through its midsummer quietness and while it is difficult to make forecasts, it is believed that the expected revival of industrial activity, the demand will be greater than it has been for some weeks.

R. HOE & CO., NEW YORK AMERICA’S OLDEST SAW MANUFACTURERS Jo YEAR a a i Late reports from Liverpool, Eng., are to the effect that there are no special developments in trading during the last month. With perhaps the exception of sawn pitch pine, imports were confined to ‘requirements and deliveries more or Jess kept pace. Stocks gen- erally are sufficient without being excessive. It must be borne in mind that consumption, especially in Manchester, was seriously interfered with by the dock strike. As work is now being resumed, is hoped that the leeway will be made up although the holiday _ Season will have a retarding effect, say Farnworth & Jardine, in a recent letter to the trade. Speaking of Canadian woods, it may be said that the demand for yellow (white) pine timber ruled quiet and stocks are slightly ‘increased. In first-class waney pine there was an import of 25,000 cubic feet against contracts. Deliveries were rather disappointing with the result that stocks have increased, now standing at 123,000 _ cubic feet, which is mostly stored in Manchester. In the lower - grade of red pine there is very little call, stocks appearing sufficient, and in square red pine there is practically no demand at all. | __ So far as Canadian oak is concerned, a small shipment came to _ Liverpool recently. Demand ruled quiet with ample stock for the _ time being. There was also a small consignment of round elm logs _ which arrived lately. about 4,000 feet of the import which reached Manchester during June, has been brought to Liverpool and is now _ in stock there. Inquiries are limited to large fresh wood. ; In pine deals the import was considerable with fair deliveries. _ Stocks are about on a par with those held at the same period last year. In the spruce market prices ruled firm. The import was moder- ate and met with a fair request. There was an import to the Mersey _ (which includes the Manchester Canal) of 5,830 standards of New | Brunswick and Nova Scotia spruce and pine deals. The deliveries, _ especially from Manchester, were much interfered with owing to the dock strike with the result that the total consumption came to only 2,120 standards. Stocks amount to 10,160 standards, being slightly ‘more than those held at the end of July last year. The market showed little or no change and values remained firm throughout. ~ Ocean tonnage rates were reported to be slightly firmer. 3 So far as pine deals are concerned, stocks are almost exhausted. In birch logs Liverpool received an import of 6,000 cubic feet. The demand ruled quiet but stocks are quite moderate, being almost exhausted in Manchester. About 41,000 cubic feet in birch planks came to hand at Liverpool. Deliveries were fair and stocks are _ high—a little over—200,000 cubic feet which is mostly held on the - Mersey Canal. The Liverpool market showed a slight improvement. | ~ N ew Bookings Few But Outlook Firm Although new bookings are few, the export lumber market _ remains very firm in the face of weakness in foreign markets, says recent advices from British Columbia. Sawmills in the Province have contracts on hand calling for the cutting of 44,000,000 feet by the middle of October. The most interesting feature developed recently has been an order from Glasgow for a shipment of re-saw - material of about the same quality and dimensions as Japanese square. Orders also have been placed for 5,100,000 feet of ties for China and 2,000,000 feet of China standard specification lumber, mostly for _ delivery in August and September. ; Both lumber and shingle manufacturers are looking for good country business in Midcontinent and Western States and Provinces this fall. Their optimism is based on the fact that the late spring prevented the farmer doing any building before he went into the - field to get his seed in the ground. There is also the fact that the - major portion of the building done in the past two years in the East has been in the cities and industrial centres. They contend that it is now the farmers’ turn to build and repair houses and outbuildings. Shingle interests are practically hopeful that the farmers will do some construction work this fall, as the shingle trade is very dull. --In’the lumber industry the chief change is the falling off in the _ demand from the United States, which is felt more particularly by Eastern mills. On the other hand the mills on the western coast con- ue active, the slackening demand from the south being offset by an easing demand from Japan, which is buying heavily. Shipments rairie points from British Columbia are increasing, but in view ~ .e limited demand from farmers during the past few years, this s not surprising. , Sere 2s Widening Membership of Hardwood Association ; The measure brought forward prior to our late Twenty-sixth al Convention proposing (in response to a widespread and long- ued demand for same) an amendment to our Constitution and aws whereby factory consumers of hardwood lumber can be d to Associate Membership in this organization was unani- yee . "’ fi, y k = ' Ce Oe a 2 > Dy a ~ a re Os ae dee “4 vo CANADA LUMBERMAN 59 mously adopted by the Convention. A copy of the Constitution and By-Laws embodying the provisions of the proposed amendment was placed in the hands of every member of this Association sufficiently in advance of the convening of our late annual meeting. As a re- minder we quote these provisions herewith: “Associate Membership shall consist of consumers of hardwood lumber. Any individual, firm or corporation in good standing en- gaged in the fabrication of hardwood lumber into manufactured pro- ducts, is eligible to become an Associate Member of this Association. Applications for Associate Membership shall follow the same course of procedure as those pertaining to Active Members, viz.: Shall be made in writing to the Secretary-Treasurer accompanied by check ($50) covering one year’s membership dues. There shall be no initia- tion fee for Associate Membership.” In this connection the following recommendation was also adopted as an addition to the regulations governing our Inspection Bureau: “The Relationship of Associate Members shall in nowise alter the existing rules and regulations of the Inspectoin Department ap- plying to and between Active Members of the Association. As- sociate Members may receive official inspection service on the pay- ment of the same fees and expense as Active Members.” - The Associate Membership movement has been inaugurated un- der very favorable auspices. A number of representative hardwood consumers have already entered their memberships and negotiations are now under way as result of which a large additional intake of Associate Members is likely to ensue. Ontario Government Stops Timber Sales The recent announcement of the Ontario government, through Premier Ferguson, to the effect that timber sales of Crown lands would be stopped, is in direct contrast to the former government policy of a rather lavish utilization of lumber and pulpwood re- sources. Hon. Mr. Ferguson stated that his government had de- cided that no further sales would be made except those for which special reasons, existed until a thorough survey of the wooded wealth of Ontario has been “completed. This step toward a more intelligent and comprehensive know- ledge and conservation of the forest resources of the province is one that will be commended by all fair-minded citizens. In view of ever- diminishing supplies and the destruction by fire, insect, fungi, waste, etc., it seems a wise policy not to exploit further forest areas with- out having a more definite idea of the extent, quality, growth, re- production, etc. These facts are not known although guesses and estimates have been made time and again but, in all these appraisals of the present and prospective timber production of Ontario there is a wide divergence. The only method of ascertaining accurately all that should be known is by means of a thorough and progressive survey which should be carried out as expeditiously as possible. - Such a survey is a task which may occupy some years to accom- plish, although detailed cruising has already been done in the Mis- sissauga, Timagami and Algonquin Park reserves. The Government intends to take careful stock of its forestry re- sources and to take steps to remedy details in which they are de- ficient. The scarcity of white pine, due to a blight which has killed great areas of the trees, is one of the serious problems of the present. The Department of Lands and Forests intends to wage intensive warfare against such plagues in order that the forest wealth may not be impaired. : Until the Ferguson adminstration has found out with fair accur- acy of detail the heritage which still remains to the public, sales of timber are to be discontinued. Only exceptional cases, such as where an industry already established requires additional timber for its existence, will this rule be departed from. National Secretary on European Tour Wilson Compton, of Washington, Secretary-Manager of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association is now in Europe and will represent the American Lumber Industry at the Swedish Tri- centennial Exposition at Gothenberg. The Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce of the Department of Commerce, has requested A. X. Oxholm, Chief of the Lumber Division, who is already in Europe, to accompany Mr. Compton on his special tour of the Swed- ish saw mills and forests. Mr. Compton’s special purpose in the Swedish trip is to get a first hand impression of waste prevention and taw material utilization methods of Scandinavian mills. The United States commercial attaches in different European cities will assist Mr. Compton to study the methods used in Europe for enforcing and guaranteeing lumber quality and dimension standards. on a ge 2 PRS, BS 60 i’ eee we * b ¥ ney rE de oh ee ot ee ree " De ee aad r ; r Se We ee .

H. _ Finlayson, of Ottawa, who is Acting Director of Forestry for the ~ Dominion Government, has been attached to the Commission as secretary. ae Wide scope is given the new body and sittings will be held in various parts of the country. The fullest investigation will be made into the pulpwood resources of Canada and particular regard will be paid to the following points :— The extent in each province of wood of various kinds available for pulp. The quantity of wood so available on lands owned by the Pro- vincial Government and subject under Provincial laws and regula- tions to restrictions requiring the partial or total manufacture of | such wood in Canada. ; The quantity of wood so available on lands owned by the Dom- : inion Government and subject under federal laws and regulations to restrictions requiring partial or total manufacture in Canada. The quantity of such wood on other lands and the conditions under which such lands are held, whether by ownership or lease, whether by corporations or individuals, whether by citizens of Can- ada or other countries. The quantity of pulpwood produced in each province of Canada during the past ten years, showing the portion used in Canada and the portion exported. The question of the prohibition or restriction of the export of pulpwood from Canada. Any other matter touching upon the production, manufacture or sale of pulpwood essential to comprehensive.consideration of the question of prohibition or restriction of the export of pulpwood from Canada. The making of recommendations that may be deemed expedient for the conservation of pulpwood for present or future use. . It is announced that Mr. Picard as chairman of the Commis- - sion will receive $35.00 a day for every day during which the Board “is engaged in the work while the other commissioners get $25.00 a _ day. An expense allowance of $15.00 a day is permitted members of the Commission in addition to actual expense of transportation. The personnel of the Committee is looked upon as a representa- tive one and among the outstanding figures is R. W. McLellan, of Fredericton, who for years has been secretary of the New Bruns- wick Lumbermen’s Association and closely connected with pulp- wood activities. New Paper Mill at Bathurst Starts _ The new 60-ton newsprint mill which has been erected at Bat- hurst, N. B., ‘by the Bathurst Co., started operations on August 17th. Angus McLean, who is the president and general-manager of the company, says he expects the plant will be producing at full capa- _ city within a very few days. This marks a new era in the New _ Brunswick industry for the newsprint unit of the Bathurst Co. estab- _ lishes the first paper mill ever operated in the province. The Bathurst Co. has for several years been engaged in the lumber and pulp busi- ‘ness and has gradually expended until it has built up Bathurst, and “now along with Frasers Limited, of Edmundston, the former town _ possesses some of the largest industries in the province. When asked about the pulpwood embargo on freehold pulpwood, r, McLean, who is president of the Canadian Lumbermen’s Asso- tion, said that he was convinced that the embargo would work tim late harm to Canada although his own firm would benefit tem- ‘a larger number of men. entire facts surrounding the would show the wisdom of such a move. It is understood that the Royal Commission which was recently appointed at Ottawa to investigate the pulpwood resources of he Dominion, will not begin its sittings for, at least, two weeks yet, when evidenée will be taken on the advisability of prohibiting the export of wood from private lands. The Commission will visit all the: big centres and will go thoroughly into the whole question. question Two Plants Wiped Out at Penetang The International Fibreboard Co., whose plant is at Penetang- uishene, Ont., suffered a heavy loss on August 19, when their plant was totally destroyed by fire. The company turned out wood fibre, solid wallboard and had planned to double the output and to employ The blaze broke out in the afternoon and when discovered, the pulp piles were a smoking mass, and in fighting the conflagration the firemen were handicapped by intense heat and low water pressure. In the outer walls of the building is a fan to carry off the dust from the factory. The firemen think that this fan in action caused the flames to spread so rapidly throughout the building. A rush was made to shut it off but too late. The industry has been in existence for some years. Ernest Rossiter is the presi- dent, John I. Rankin, vice-president and secretary, and H. J. Wiser, treasurer and general-manager. The box shook factory of the Firstbrook Bros., Limited, was also destroyed. It had not been occupied for a couple of years but it is understood that it was the intention of the firm to put it in operation in the near future. A dismantled sawmill belonging to Firstbrook Bros., was also wiped out. The loss of the firm on the box shook building, the International Fibfeboard premises and the sawmill, amounts to $125,000, with an insurance of $110,000. Great Lakes Project at Fort William The Great Lakes Pulp & Paper Co. at the head of which is Lewis L. Alstead, of Appleton, Wis., will erect a $3,000,000 plant at Fort William, Ont., and details of the arrangements which are now being entered into with the Corporation of that city, have been announced. Under the agreement, which must be submitted to the ratepayers for ratification, fixed assessments for a term of years and a provision for a piece of Kaministiquia River frontage property are to be provided by the city of Fort William and the township of Neebing. After the execution of the agreement the company binds itself to immediately proceed with the erection of a plant and equipment to cost not less than $3,000,000, one unit of which the pulp mill will entail an outlay of $800,000 and will be completed within one year, and a newsprint paper mill, to cost not less than $2,200,000, will be finished within two years. The latter will turn out 100 tons daily. The company will guarantee to employ not less than 600 men for 250 working days in each year. The assessment on the industry for the purpose of general taxa- tion on the portion in Fort William shall be fixed at $50,000 for twenty years and the township of Neebing agrees to fix an assess- ment for a similar period on the portion in that municipality. The city agrees that power shall be available to the company on the terms of the agreement with the Hydro Commission, and that the company shall have the right to benefit by any lowering of price below the eighteen dollars per horse power agreed to if, similar power under similar conditions is supplied at a lower cost to other consumers. The city will provide its utilities to the company, water, light, phone and street railway service, at the usual price charged for thes? services. Fire protection is to be afforded.

The dealers and sippers report that they are completing their contracts and that the prices o | the wood per cord is the same as prevailed in January last. F ; Notwithstanding the proposed embargo, the American mills are _ not buying for next year and are no doubt under the impression that | the Canadian Government will forego putting into effect the em- | hareo. In the meantime, Quebec pulpwood brokers and shippers to ' ~ the American mills are beginning to change their opinion in regard to the proposed embargo. Talking the matter over with several of the largest Quebec shippers and brokers, they admit that, while giver a scare when the embargo proposition was urst mentioned, in case _ they would be put out of business, they have since come to realize h that it would not affect them to the extent that they had surmised, i especially as the Government has appointed a Royal Commission to | enquire into the question which they say will allow them a breathing | spell to close up all their contracts with the American mills. | & One of the leading Quebec pulpwood shippers in expressing his opinion which is shared by others in the business, said: “I have come to realize. after studying the proposed embargo on Canadian pulp- wood that it would be a good thing for Canada. We would not ma- terially suffer providing the Canadian Government would stay the A acing of the embargo for two or three years, to allow us to complete all or contracts with American mills and, at the same time, allow us to adjust our business to meet the new conditions. 7 It must be recognized that the forest fires of the past spring and early summer swept over vast areas of the timber and pulpwood lim- its owned by the Canadian pulp and paper mills. Cutting on those areas must be proceeded with this fall and coming winter to save a ee i on = 2 4 "we icet the logs from the worm depreciation, which means that quantities of pulpwood will be made to supply the Canadian mills for approxi- mately three years. In the meantime we will be called on by the American mills for supplies which will come from the former free holdings and, at the end of the three years the Canadian mills which will have consumed all their wood cut from the burnt areas, will be ready and willing to buy from us and, by that time, I, with others engaged in the business, will see no objection to the Federal Government putting into effect the proposed embargo on Canadian pulpwood into the United States. “Our American cliente entertain the same idea as we do in this respect and admit that the Canadian Government is justified in protecting the Canadian forests and Canada’s raw material for manu- factured production in Canada. At the end of three years we will begin to sell to the Canadian mills, and providing we are accorded fair treatment in prices, we prefer to sell to the Canadian plants for the reason that we would be assured of a square deal in measure- ments and no difficulty in monetary settlements.” Will Cut Burnt Area for Pulp Wood Even the devastated sections of timber limits in the Province of Quebec, are not going to be left unexploited, according to the plans of the timber limit owners, who are also to be assured the co-opera- tion of the government officials in this connection. Arrangements are being made by which trees partly burnt are to be cut immediately and used for pulp wood, so as to reduce the fire losses, to a minimum. By modern processes it is now possible to use those partly burnt trees as long as they are not affected by flies and worms.

New capital totalling $3,160,000 is represented by companies whose incorporations were eranted by the B.C. provincial govern- ment recently. Some of the. important companies are: Esaray Tim- | ber Co., Vancouver, $2,000,000; G. R. Gregg & Co., Vancouver, $300,- 000; White Chief Timber Co., Vancouver, $500,000 : Coal Econo- mizers Co., $150,000, NMaricoaver: and Charles A. Butler _ Penticton, $50,000. In Montreal banking circles it is stated that the Riordon reor- ganization plan has now been practically completed and should be ready to be submitted to shareholders in about a month’s time. One of the recent important developments in connection with the reor- ganization is the fact that some of the leading interests in the pulp and paper industry in Canada have been secured for the new com- pany, and in this way it would have the benefit of several persons | who have made the greatest success of similar undertakings in the’ | Dominion. _ The Esaray Timber erat a Canadian and American syndi- _ cate, backed by Seattle, has recently purchased extensive limits from the land department of the Canadian Pacific Railway Co., located at Horne Lake, on Vancouver Island. These limits, which | are located about 6 miles west of Dunsmuir station, on the E. & N. __ branch of the C. P. R., and about 38 miles north of Nanaimo, have _ been carefully cruised and found to contain some of the largest cedar and fir on the Island. The company plans to spend approxi- ' mately $750,000 in the erection of a mill, logging railway and other | development within the next two years. The department of forests, lands and mines in New Brunswick _ has announced a ban on slash burning except during the fall months. | The ban has been urged by prominent lumbermen and pulp and | paper men for the past few years. It is stated that much of the | loss by fire in the forests of the province is traceable directly to slash _ burning in the spring and summer. Now that the slash burning ban has been announced, the question will be of enforcement. In the past, slash burning, except in May, has not been legal without per- mits, but this has not prevented many persons from starting the s!ash | _ fires and escaping prosecution. A demonstration of the use of radio and airplane in the detec- tion and fighting of forest fires furnished the feature of the program arranged for the delegates to the British Empire Forestry Conference who were in Timagimi, Ont., recently. The demonstration was a most interesting one. A fire had been started in a safe place though unknown to the aviators attached to the Forestry Department who were making the flight to this point from Sudbury. The aviators, _ however, caught sight of the fire from their plane and sent a roadie _ message to the chief forester’s station, the message being distinctly _ heard by the delegates to the conference who were grouped around the receiving set at the time. , New. Brunswick’s loss by forest fire during the present year has been estimated at $12,000,000 by officials of the Federal Government. That estimate was made by the Entomological Branch of the Federal Department of Agriculture and the figures have appeared in an official departmental bulletin issued by that division. It is the first _ definite estimate of the monetary loss. It is understood that the B cgnres cover not only the immediate destruction but also take in consideration the future loss in the resources of the province as a result of the destructive fires which hit at the very heart of the _ richest virgin forests in New Brunswick. Latest figures give 700 _ square miles as the area burned over. _ - The tree and bush planting at he Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club, of Ottawa, for the season 1923 is completed. In all there have been _ planted | 150 hard maples, 75 elms, 70 beech and white birch, 2,000 young pines, and 2,500 poplar cuttings. There has also been trans- _ planted 150 lilacs in various ‘clumps. About half of this material is ‘ased in planting clumps between the fairways and back of the tees _ throughout the permanent eighteen-hole course. The balance was used in planting the west block of land adjacent to the river and it is hoped that this latter planting will do much, not only towards beautifying this piece of land, but also to counter-act the objection- - able. feature of bare sand. - Although refusing to talk on the political situation in New- undland Sir Richard Squires, formerly Premier of that Island, who arrived recently in Montreal, quite freely spoke on the business ituation as it exists on the Island and remarked that it was fairly astactory.

Murray Woodlands Corporation of Mt. Murray, Quebec, has now standardized on “Holt” and purchased four more of these powerful tractors for next winter’s operations. Hauling day and night over common snow roads with many bad grades, each load averaged around 17 cords of green unbarked spruce, a remarkable record over those roads. By the end of last season the total cord- age, the continuous operation, number of trips, low costs and the ability of the “Caterpillar” to meet every situation, convinced the Mt.

The remarkable condition is due to the marvelous efficiency of the Waterous Super Resaw which is handling all the slabs and half logs in this mill. The Waterous super resaw han- dles one slab at a time at high speed, consequently the sawyer is changing gauge continuously and each slab is subjected to quick analysis. The feed is speeded faster than the man can get the slabs into the machine, leaving a space of about 18 inches between the ends of the slabs and permitting the setter to change the size instantly so that every avail- able inch of good lumber is obtained from each slab. In the Waterous super resaw the slab and the board separate instant- ly by gravity, the slab falling on the slasher chains and the board going to the edger. Why not investigate the wonder- ful possibilities of this machine? US BR ANTFORD, ONTARIO.CANADA Pea eC ee er ee Molson’s Bank Building, Vancouver | Winnipeg, Man.

F Prairie Representative : J. O. Thorpe, Fort Garry Hotel, WINNIPEG CANADA LUMBERMAN 43 BUY BRITISH COLUMBIA Red Cedar Shingles The life of a British Columbia Red Cedar Shingle Roof can almost be gauged by the life of the nail with which the shingle is nailed in place. Judging from available data, the average life of the ordinary steel wire nail, which has been in such common use, is only from seven to twelve years. Some wire nails will last longer, depending upon the condition of exposure, climate and similar features, but considering our climate as a whole, at the end of from seven to twelve years a large percentage of wire nails will have rusted either completely through or so extensively that the first strong wind will complete the work. The shingles that have been held in position by such nails are then free to work down, permitting rains or melting snows to leak through and damage the interior of the structure. Examination will disclose that the fibre of the shingle itself is still in perfect condition, and a leaky roof, in the majority of occasions is due entirely to the use of faulty nails, but the average home owner, placed at such inconvenience, will not stop to reason this out and the poor wooden shingle comes in for more unjust abuse. There are several kinds of nails which experience has proven will give lasting satisfaction, and the wise dealer will advise his customers of these satisfactory nails. A pure zinc shingle nail meets all the demands of durability required. Its principal drawback is its high cost and a slight tendency to bend under careless driving. Galvanized wire nails theoretically are rust proof, and if the galvanized coating is properly applied, and of sufficient thickness, such a nail will last as long as the shingle it holds in place. The life of this shingle roof, properly applied with these nails then is from 40 to 50 years. Pure iron nails, or the old cut or wrought nails are ideal but difficult to secure. Copper nails also constitute a perfect shingle nail. Timms Phillips & Co., Ltd. | Vancouver Lumber Co., Ltd.

The ground is very good for logging as a whole; there is some steep ground in places, also some cliffy sp there are good chances for logging roads to nearly all of the timber. It is what would be known as a Cedar proposi the Hemlock, Iaarch and Fir are all a good clean run of timber and should cut well. The Cedar is of the first grade and will go well to clear; the Pine, which is scattered all through, seems to be sound and thrifty and goes from 12 in. feet in the stump. There is a large creek flowing South East through Lots 907 and 908, also other » smaller creeks: South through 909 to Pipestem Inlet, that will furnish plenty of fresh water for logging purposes. eee is a total cof at feet on these three lots.

PRICES AND TERMS: : 2 Taking an average of the above two cruises, you will find there is anyway 50,000,000 feet of timber on these three claims, and under the Brayton & Lawbaugh cruise the figures show 28,570,000 feet of Cedar. This 50,000,000 feet eee however, does not include the 11,960 Coder poles. : We can deliver these three licenses at a price of 65c per 1,000 feet, figuring fifty million feet, or the sum of Tipe o thousand five hundred ($32,500.00) Dollars. We will make reasonable terms to suit the purchaser We will also entertain a lower figure for an all cash offer. COMMISSION: We are prepared to pay a reasonable commission to any Broker who disposes of this timber for, us at a pe and on terms to be confirmed by us. NECESSARY TIME TO MAKE CHECK CRUISE: If we are satisfied that you are interested enough to send your cruiser to inspect this property, and desire sufficient time to make a check cruise, we are prepared to grant the necessary Binding Option to protect you for a reasonable period. This is a matter for negotiation at the time you wish to send in your cruiser. ROYALTY CHARGED BY B. C. GOVERNMENT: +i . Grades 1 & 2—Fir, Cedar and Spruce—$1.22 per 1,000 feet. All Hemlock, and Grade 3 of Fir, Cedar and Spruce, 87e per 1,000 feet. Shinglebolts, 25c per cord. The above fees remain in force until the end of 1924. COMMENTS: The above price of 65c per 1,000 feet for water front timber, well located such as this, is considered toda, a bargain price on terms. If an all cash offer were made, you could figure roughly that the claims were costing $1.00 per 1,000 feet for Cedar alone, and the balance of the timber, roughly 22,000,000 feet, would be secured free of cost, never _to mention the We have prepared an illustrated pamphlet which gives particulars of the above cruises, showing the various kinds of timber, quality and quantities. The pamphlet contains a map showing the exact location of the timber and also the cruise and elevation of each forty-acre section. This pamphlet will be mailed to you upon request. This timber is listed subject to our confirmation, previous sale, change in price, or withdrawal without notice. SHARPLES & SHARPLES BROKERS 416 Seymour Street, Business Phones: | Vancouver, Canada.

The timber cut in virtue of such license is subject to a tariff of dues fixed by order in council. Licensees are forbidden to cut on Crown lands trees less than a fixed diameter. The Regulations also provide that all timber cut on Crown lands must be manu- factured in Canada. In the event of a licensee wishing to transfer his rights, he is at liberty to do so under certain conditions, namely, the paying of a fee of $4 per square mile. There are at the present time about 75,000 square miles of forest lands under license and over 150,000 miles in the possession of the Crown. -WATER POWERS To obtain authorization for the utilization of a Water-Power in the Province of Quebec, ap- lication should be made to the Honourable Minister of Lands and Forests.

B. Vancouver, B.C. SSeS eo ee, | Pioneer and Leader in the Industry The annual number of the “Canada Lumberman” is always » looked forward to with much interest and appreciation and this year’s production surpasses all previous efforts in variety of editorial contents and volume of interesting advertising. For over forty years the “Canada Lumberman” has been the great national pioneer _ journal of forest products in the Dominion, being founded in 1880. Its growth has been steady and substantial and has kept pace with _ the adyancement and welfare of the vast industry which it has repre- sented. It is regarded by exponents of all branches of the business as an authority on lumber matters and is read by all those directly or indirectly connected with this national calling. In this edition edifying articles are presented on topics interest- ing to the trade both from a practical and business standpoint and every effort has been put forth to publish information that will be found timely and helpful to lumber manufacturers, logging oper- ators, wholesalers, retailers and others, and in its earnest effort to reach a higher standard of service and usefulness the cordial co- operation of many friends is gratefully acknowledged. Only through the support and goodwill of readers is it possible to keep a paper bright, attractive and instructive. It is always interesting to read what the other fellow is do’ng and to learn the progress that he is making. The days of jealousy and jaundice have passed and men are learning to co-operate as well as compete. This is evidenced in association work on every side and _ there is not the old-time desire to get ahead of the other fellow or to put one over on him. To come out in the open and do things frankly and above board is the spirit of today. Honesty and integrity stand for something worth while and he, who pursues a straight course and _ renders good service and lives up to his word, is the one who wins out in the end. He may not accumulate the largest amount of money or live.in the costliest mansion or arrogate to himself artificial airs, but when his course is run, it will be found that he has fought a good fight and men will pay tribute to his splendid record, his clean career and noble ideal. Forging ahead at the expense of one’s fellows, seeking to take a crack at the other fellow, rounding sharp corners and engaging in double-hand deals, may appear spectacular but, in the end, they do not avail a great deal. The things that are worth while are built ‘up by slow process and earnest endeavor. The name and reputation of a firm, its standing in the community, the confidence which people _ repose in it, are not of a mushroom growth. They have a solidity R.of character which is more than a mere momentary creation. ‘There are names in the lumber line to- -day that are household _ words of good repute and square dealing. Business has descended from father to son and even to grandson, and it must be a source of © great satisfaction to those of the present generation to look back and see how well the founders of these businesses built. The lumber _ industry is one that requires patience and perseverance as it has “many things to contend with from governments, legislatures, rail- ways, municipalities and labor unions. __ While this article is not intended to be a thesis upon this great p papees ppsnstsy, is arguments put forth may savor of something ot q Toronto, September 15, 1923 Sa ee a Giada Jumberman Recognized Authority for Forty Years Sovwnded 1880 No. 18 Exponents of the Great Lumber Industry Have Faith in Its Future Whirl Around the Arena Shows that Economic Conditions are Sound, that Confidence is Firmly Established and that Coming Year Should be One of Steady Business and Satis- factory Returns—Co-operation of the Various Branches Stronger Today than Ever that nature. The lumberman, of course, has in the past been able to defend himself, but more misapprehensions exist in connection with his business than with any other vocation. He has to suffer the slings and arrows of attacks from within and without and there is a disposition to tax and assess him to the utmost. His calling is of a highly hazardous and venturesome character. No man, who halts or hesitates, and builds on his fears rather than his ambitions, will ever go far in becoming a successful operator. The lumberman has to take all sorts of chances with the elements, markets, trans- portation, legislation, labor, etc., and if his rewards are at times large, it must be remembered that he has toiled patiently for results with heavy odds and has taken “a long shot” in every instance. While he may make a fair sum this year, conditions are apt to be reversed the next and any advantage gained is lost and the operator finds himself under heavy obligation to the bank, or with a gigantic stock on hand for which there is no foreign or domestic demand. Much might be said about conditions of trade during the past year, the present state of affairs and the outlook for 1924. Every lumberman is anxious to learn whether business will be good or bad and to what extent logging operations will be carried on this winter, whether structural activities will continue, how fall collections will be met and industrial revival develop. There are so many currents and cross-currents that it is not possible to make any authentic pre- dictions. The war has upset numerous standards and theories, cast aside many precedents and uprooted every tradition and he, who would turn prophet in these days of shifts and shoals, is venturing upon thin ice or inviting trouble aplenty. The exponents of the great lumber industry will continue to have faith in its future as they have had in its past. They will not evidence uneasiness or unrest but will press forward with calm assur- ance and tranquil mind conscious that business is going to be better this fall than it was a year ago and that production and consump- tion will be more equalized, that stocks in the majority of in- stances have been greatly reduced and the way is cleared for exten- sion and expansion in every direction. The uses of wood are increasing on every hand. Each fresh development in science or invention calls for a greater employment of the products of the forest in one shape or another. Canadian woods stand the test of time, wear and service and it is incumbent upon all branches of the lumber business to keep the three P’s ever before them,—pep, push and production. One should remember while new methods have been created in order to widen trade and increase turnover in the lumber game, that after all, the closest cul- tivation must be with the retailer. He is the man who stands be- tween the producer and the public, being the instrument of goodwill and the medium of distribution. The retail lumberman can do much to encourage home- building and dev elop the community spirit. Without pride in one’s environs and in one’s own town or city, no real progress is made and no go- aheaditiveness evidenced. More homes mean more industries and more industries spell more homes. They are closely related and have a most important bearing and association. >? —. ee eee 114 Pd CANADA MUMBE RICAN ER” ime i x. * a 7 AST SD s faki ' ei 1 PD?

Manuheuoe Arrive at Cost of Lumber Pro- duced in Their Sawmills —The Different Systems Employed— The study of sawmills and logging costs is always in- teresting, and knowing how to figure them properly is most important. A new word was created in the realm of in- dustrial estimates a few years ago, known as “guesstimat- ing.” In these days of keen competition and highly speci- alized methods, it is necessary that all the “guess” should be cut out and only facts known. There are, of course, dif- ferent systems in arriving at the same conclusion as there are various roads that take one to the same direction. The main thing is to discover the quickest, safest and shortest route. Naturally there will always be differences of opinion regarding what should and should not be charged up as costs, how certain items of expenditure should be appropriated and what proportion of expense certain facilities of the mill should bear in relation to allied products, etc. Many producers are losing money to-day because he does not ascertain what his costs are or should include. He thinks he is making a profit when he is really turning over his stock at a loss. He is drifting along without any definite means of knowing where he is at in the matter of reducing costs. In this respect he is not unlike the motorist hurrying along the road humming,—“I don’t know where I am going but I guess I am on the way.” Minus a speedometer the driver has no knowledge regarding distance, speed or loca- tion but thinks he is travelling in the right direction by viewing the sun or taking a look at the distant hills. It is always best to know the when, and where, and the “Canada Lumberman” is devoting considerable attention to the application of “costs” in the production of lumber and by-products. Practical problems are always of intense in- terest and every man should know whether or not he is mak- ing money in the vending of his output. This is one of the first essentials of a successful business. Recently “Enquirer” sent the following letter to the “Canada Lumberman” :— I am running a lumber business with a saw mill in which I have a lath machine, box plant, shingle machine, planing plant and the wood waste from the mill is sold for fire wood purposes and delivered by teams. To arrive at the cost of the long lumber and the piling of it on the wharf, I deduct from the total wages paid at the mill the wages at the planing mill, lath machine, shingle machine and wages of the men employed in cutting the wood and also the teamsters and teams delivering, debiting these to accounts kept for each of these items, thus showing the actual cost to manufacture long lumber. This method has been questioned by some manu- facturers and they state that is not the way to figure out the long lumber but, that the whole cost of the wages of the mill including lath machine, fire wood and planing plant should be added; these others be- ing by-products should not be considered in arriv- ing at the other cost. I would like to know how lumber Pm Hai handle this cost accounting or if they do it the way I do it and if not, what method they employ? Charge up Every Mill Item Information on the foregoing points has been sought from a number of representative firms who, while their methods may differ somewhat, still in the end seem to have arrived at a satisfactory basis by efficient and definite meth- | ods of cost accounting. It is interesting to Sa the replies and the ideas that have been set forth. A leading Montreal firm says:—We arrive at the cost of our lumber by charging to manufacturing, everything that cannot be charged to bush operations of payments for logs; that is, every expense connected with the mill, its original cost, keeping up, repairs, taxes, insurance, etc., are charged to manufacturing as well as all the wages. Hence, if it costs $25,000 to manufacture $100,000 worth of good, we have the real cost of manufacturing. The fire wood usually covers” the expenses of teaming it. As for the so called “by sleaceiee not less than a certain proportion of the logs which are manufactured into these products instead of being sawn into boards and planks. To arrive: at the cost of producing shingles and lath, every mill has to do its own figuring, as this altogether de- pends on the quality of the wood supplied to the machines. We however, emphasize the method of charging to manufacturing account, as already stated, everything that cannot be charged to the production or to the cost of logs, as this shows the exact amount to be added to every thous- and dollars of goods, for its production. Sawing lumber for the last few years has cost between $3.00 to $12.00 depending altogether from what point of the operations one begins and finishes to call it sawing. As for ourselves, though we only run our saw mills from May until October, our sawing account runs from the first day of January to the thirty-first of December. Every day, there are expenses connected with our mills and even during the night, the watchman keeps them going. Using this way of figuring, sawing lumber this year has cost $12.00 per thousand. feet or just about. Getting at the Actual Cost An Ottawa firm adopts the following:—With reference to the cost of production of lumber, will say that men are put into the woods, they take out logs, and when the season's operations are completed, these logs cost so much per thous- and, delivered into the Ottawa River. Then, the Upper Ottawa Improvement Co., takes charge of all limit holders’ logs delivered into the main stream and the driving charges amount to so much, to the point of destination. These driv- ing charges are added to the bush costs, and that gives the total cost of the logs back of the saws. The following Spring, these logs are sawn up, and at the end of the season, the total cost of sawing, including over- head, insurance and interest is charged against the lumber put into the piles. In our particular case, we contract and sell our firewood at the tail of our mill; the revenue derived from that firewood is deducted from the total sawing cost and the number of feet produced, divided into the total money expended, gives the cost per thousand feet, figuring lath at 5,000 pieces to a thousand feet of lumber. This we think is about the only way the actual cost of dumber pro- : duction can be arrived at. Cost of Sawing Against Various Products Another eastern firm says:—The method used by your correspondent, in arriving at his cost, would seem to us to be correct. In our own case we charge the cost of sawing against the different products, based upon the number of actual hours worked. In addition we make a_ material charge for the laths and slabs, based upon production, and they are no more or ~ ans aS aes TS SO ee y a BoD A129 Seat. ne eee ea ee for the shingles, on the actual lumber used. We also dis- tribute the overhead expense proportionally between these operations. The other method will give you the same result in the end, as regards profits, but it does not seem to us that a manufacturer, who is operating in this method, has got a sufficient grip upon his costs. A Central Ontario lumber company remarks that “a man desires for his own information to know what all the different departments in his business cost and we think that your correspondent figures his costs correctly.” A Northern Ontario lumberman declares:—We believe that the inquirer is quite right in his method of book-keeping. In all of our operations we have always endeavoured to arrive at the net cost of all of our products be they, standard or by-products. If the by-products are not a seller on the market we do not consider them as an asset to us and add the cost of same to our standard products. -In all cases we try to get the different costs separated. We find this very useful when we are overloaded in any one ‘kind of manufactured article, that we want to sell at a close figure. If our costs were lumped we would not have the in- formation required, and then it would be a matter of hit or miss as to profit or loss. Our contention is that the moment you have a regular market for an article, that this article should not be considered as what is usually termed as a by- product as far as cost system is concerned. “I have no intention of getting into a controversy on a question of cost accounting in saw mills,’ writes a lower Quebec man. “I have, however, read over the matter re- ferred to, and would say that “Enquirer” is right. Should Be Kept Under Six Headings The manager of an eastern Quebec firm goes deeply into the question and offers some valuable suggestions. He says: I do not agree with either methods suggested by your corres- pondent. It is my opinion that the costs of such an opera- tion as outlined ought to be kept under six different head- ings, viz. First: Sawmill Expense. This account ought to in- clude charges for labor and upkeep of the sawmill, including supplies, etc., which pertain to the manufacture of lumber only. This would be cost of taking logs from the pond to the piling of the lumber in the yard. Second: Lath Mill Expense. This account ought to include the labor of picking out lath stock, the manufacturing and handling of the lath to the pile, and all supplies, as well as the upkeep of machines. _ Third: Box plant. This account ought to include the labor of taking the lumber over from the mill or yard, which- ever the case may be, as well as the labor of running this plant, the supplies and the upkeep of machines until the pro- duct is complete for the market. In either case the lumber ought to be measured as it goes to the machines, so that you would know the loss in cutting up, as well as the cost of manufacturing its product. Fourth: Shingle Mill. This account ought to include the cost of supplying the logs or blocks (and measurement made of all stock supplied so you could include this in the cost of production), as well as labor and supplies in the actual manufacture, including the hauling of waste and the upkeep of machines. Fifth: Planing Mill. The account ought to include labor for taking the lumber from the mill or yard until stock is actually ready for the market, as well as the supplies and upkeep of machines. It would, of course, be necessary to keep track of the actual quantity of lumber which goes through the mill, to arrive at the cost per M. feet. Wood Account: This account ought to bear all the costs of handling the waste, such as blocks and slabs too small for lath, from the mill, picking them out, hauling and piling, and delivering at time of sale. Whatever waste that comes from the box plant, which would be marketable for wood, ought to be kept track of separately, and some allow- ance made this plant for refuse, of course after deducting the expense of handling it. If the above plan was carried out one could readily see CANADA “LUMBERMAN what each product was actually costing the manufacturer, and of course to these costs it would be necessary to add each year a certain percentage for depreciation on the dif- ferent plants. I have not any methods to give you as I do not think one could be given satisfactorily without knowing the nature of the plant. It has been my experience that these accounts can be kept separately with a little care, and proper methods used. Charge Only Labor and Expense Another Quebec manufacturer says:—In our case, we only charge up the labor and expenses that go toward hand- ling of logs and sawing them into lumber. As for any plan- ing, we consider this an extra part of the business and in- creases our value for lumber that much more, and the cost can be more than taken care of, in increased prices we get for the stock. This also applies to laths; we figure our laths cost us so much a thousand and this is deducted when figuring on profits. Regarding the system of finding the cost of sawmill operations, a Georgian Bay firm reply:—We think the sys- tem followed by your inquirer is the correct one, and that all the cost of putting by-products on the market should be charged against such material. We, however, do not pretend to keep any correct system of cost for our saw mill opera- tions. We have only two by-products in our mill, one—wood that we sell to the public as fuel, and the other material con- sisting of waste, that is usable, in pine or hardwood for but- tons and covers of the various articles we manufacture. We \- | (OVERHEAD 23% 7 y =r A FAIR PROFIT 10 EX --7 think our own method of keeping track of such, would not be of interest to the other party, who would not be using the waste material in the same way as we do. Keeps Record of Each Material Separate The general-manager of a progressive Northwestern On- tario company gives his views on this important question as follows:—We have read with interest before the inquiry re- garding the cost of lumber and of by-products. Here we endeavor as much as possible to keep the cost of each kind of material separate—that is all of the lumber goes into one cost and the by-products into another. In figuring the costs of the by-products we realize they are not entirely accurate as they do not take into consideration overhead or cost of power furnished, as with us the power is a small item and the overhead would be a small item to figure also; so that is all charged to manufacturing of lumber, except, of course, at the planing mill. There we have separate power plants and the cost of manufacturing in that department is kept entirely separate from the cost of the lumber. In our opinion the cost of the by-products should be kept separate. Often we think by-products are handled at a loss and would continue to be handled at a loss if one did not keep accurate cost of the expense of manufacturing and handling them. We are enclosing a statement showing just what we charge to the manufacturing of lumber and to the by-pro- ducts. For the Cost of Lumber To arrive at the total cost for manufacturing lumber, we charge up the following: Lumber: Boom Sawing Sorting Hauling Piling Labor & Supplies > —— ae ee ee Ae 116 CANADA Track & Tramway Labor & Supplies Water Supply i a ie Timekeeping Watching Wagon Repairs Electric Lighting Boarding House Loss or Gain Plant Roadways—Other than lumber haulways. yard foundations, labor and material depreciation on plant proper exclusive of planing mill or any property connected with shipping. For Cost of By-Products “e ce ‘ee Lath: We charge the following :— Labor and supplies including oil and waste. Labor for hauling and piling. Wood: We charge the following :— Labor cutting, picking out, hauling and piling. Planing mill cost is considered shipping cost and should not be added to cost of lumber in pile. The Cost Price for Each Sub-Division “We have been operating a sawmill, a planing mill, lath mill, box boards, plug-making, refuse grinding, slab selling, etc., and each of these by-products has its proper cost place kept separately. We have found this way of keeping an accurate accounting system very satisfactory,” says an offi- cial of a large lumber company doing business in Central Quebec. Continuing, the company says:—In our opinion, the pro- per and right way of cost accounting for lumber and its by- products is to figure each item with its proper salaries of operation and maintenance, material for same, fixed charges, auxiliary charges, administration, power, etc., in order to arrive at the exact cost price for each sub-division. The saw mill and piling of sawn lumber (rough) are one operation. Planing mill, shingles and laths manufac- turing, box plant, are separate operations for which it is necessary to have a separate cost price with all charges appertaining to these accounts just as for the saw mill opera- tions, and this, although these various sub-divisions are the fact of being by-products from the saw mill. We do not see why the rough lumber should be charged with operation charges of its by-products which simply means a burden to the rough lumber and increases its cost price, without any practical results. By-products Should Stand on Own Feet An Ottawa Valley firm remark: While we believe that the sawing should bear the major part of overhead expenses still we are of the opinion that the by-products such as lath, pickets, box boards, etc., should stand on their own feet and should be charged with all expenses in connection with their manufacture. We figure our costs not by the month but by the four week period or covering two fortnightly pay periods. We have daily reports taken at the sorting table of lumber sent to the yard and enter these in detail in a special book of record for this purpose, thus approximate total cut to the evening of the day previous is always available for reference of the different sizes and grades. Besides the actual wages chargeable direct to sawing, sorting piling, shipping, etc., we estimate what is a fair percentage of such charges as office, general, river work, blacksmith shop, stable, power, oiling, millwrights, filing room, etc., is chargeable to each one of the main divisions . ing, insurance, etc. DS age Ae Tea wi atete’ fiat PAs spl ty ete " LUMBERMAN < and, on this proportion at the end of each four week period it is so charged. This gives a fair approximation of the actual cost without overhead; such as superintendence, sell- also figured in the same manner. How to Get at the Cost of Lumber The accountant of an Ontario firm writes:—This is an attempt to answer “Enquirer” by describing how we arrive at the cost of lumber, and by inference our answer becomes a question for others to answer. All will agree it is a prob- lem worthy of our best endeavors. ; To arrive at the cost of any article it is first of all neces- sary to departmentalize the plant, and keep a record of costs by operations. general heads, 1, logging; 2, sawing; 3, piling and shipping. Under these three divisions we have several subdivisions. In fact the subdivisions are only limited by the manager’s desire for detailed costs. Department A. Logging Operations 1. All Government charges, such as, stumpage, ground rent, fire protection, dues, etc. 2. Interest on money originally invested in stand- ing timber, if any of it is borrowed money. The carrying charges. 3. Interest on working capital, if any of it is bor- rowed money. ; 4. General salaries and expenses applicable to this department. : 5. Construction and maintenance of camps, roads, dams, slides, etc. Note. If a camp will be used for two years operations, we charge half the construction to the first year and carry over the other half to be charged to the cost of operation for the second year. 6. Wages, horse hire, camp supplies, etc. 7, Equipment, to the original cost of this asset is added each year the purchase during the year. At the end of the year an appraisal is made of - the equipment on hand, the value of this is credited to this year’s operations and carried for- ward as a charge to the next year’s operations. 8. Driving or floating the logs to where they may be reached by the lake tugs, wages, tools, supplies, etc. 9. Towing, tugs towing logs in rafts to the mill. pond and spilling them into the booms at the mill, picking up stray logs. 2 10. Proportion of original cost of the standing tim- ber, cost of limit. 11. General camp supervision, salaries of the superin- tendent and his staff. The total of these accounts should give us the total laid down cost of the logs; that is, the cost of raw material f.0.b. the mill. cost per foot in the log. Charging Up the Raw Material Now we come to the real problem, the cost of lumber, or as we prefer to think of it, the cost of lumber, lath, pickets, shingles, each as a unit having its own cost. No difficulty of a serious nature enters into the problem as far as costs of operations are concerned. There is, however, a question as to how we will charge up the cost of raw mater- ial. Can any person tell how many feet of lumber, or pieces — of lath or pickets, or thousands of shingles a given number of logs, say a raft of 45,000 logs, will produce? If he can our problem is easy. We have yet to find the man who will The raft contains logs of all sizes and even attempt this. qualities, white pine, red pine, hemlock, spruce cedar and ash, good, bad and indifferent. Then there is no knowing how many may have been lost in the towing. Hence, we charge all raw material to cost of lumber. Now we enter upon the operation or operations of sawing. This we divide or rather subdivide, according to products. Therefore we have the lumber mill, the lath mill, the picket mill, the shingle mill, and perhaps we might even Lath, pickets, box boards and wood are We divide our costs under the following From this we can find the cost per log, and the ene Se eee OT Fees Km ere OS | | | : | | say the wood mill. Each of these is a unit, can be and is operated as such. The only factor in cost common to all is power, but each mill is charged with the power it con- stumes as determined by the engineer and the millwright. So we figure that each mill must stand on its own basis, pay its own operating expenses and receive the credit for its own product. Now we have the following accounts for the saw mill, or rather lumber mill. Department B. Sawing Operations Subdivided into—B 1, sawing lumber; B 2, sawing lath; B 3, sawing pickets; B 4, sawing shingles. Under each of these four subdivisions we have the following account :— B 1 Sawing Lumber Account No. 1. Repairs and replacements, including winter over- hauling. Depréeiation on buildings and machinery (a per- centage of the total). Insurance on the buildings and machinery (its proportion). Mill supplies. Wages of lumber mill. Wages in yard, piling and shipping lumber. A reserve is set up and credited to shipping to take care of this expense when it occurs. 7. Salaries of mill wright, estimators and inspectors (the proportion applicable to this department). 8. General salaries and expenses (a percentage of the total). 9. Financial expense, such as interest on loans and bank charges. 10. Trade discounts. 11. Insurance on lumber while in storage. 12. Raw material.—Total of Department A. Logging Operations. Grand total of all these accounts gives us the cost of manufacturing lumber. Re TS ee RS -Getting at Basis of Other Products You will note that we have not taken into cost of lumber the cost of lath, pickets or shingles; so we are at least saved the necessity of deducting these costs. Now to get the cost of each of the other products of the log. This is done by keeping the same set of accounts for each of the other mills, / CANADA LUMBERMAN with this exception, that there is no charge for raw material, hence no account number 12. The wages and cost of carting and piling wood is charged to Wood Account. The net profits from sale of wood might be credited to lumber, but we prefer to credit this to the lath and picket mills as they really produce the wood. The foreman in these mills knowing that they get credit for all the short wood and slabs and edgings they can produce, see to it that as little as possible goes as waste to the burner. In most mills too much good wood goes to the burner. “Enquirer” refers to a box factory and planing mill, from our system of departments as treated in this article, it will hardly be necessary to say that we would not consider their operation as a factor in costs of lumber. If lumber is milled or dressed that operation pays no part in the cost of lumber, and should be invoiced to the purchaser as a separate charge. Dividing the Lumber Into Two Classes So far so good. We know how much per thousand feet it costs to make lumber. Here is another problem. Sup- posing it costs $10.00 per thousand for sawing the lumber, that is, before the cost of raw material is added. I suppose it will be granted that it costs as much to produce a 1000 feet of dead culls as it does to produce 1000 feet of select mill run lumber. Can we then sell the inferior grades at a profit, if we assess them with the cost to manufacture? With out going into this discussion I would lay down this basis of grading and fixing costs of lumber. Divide, the whole lumber out-put of the logs into two well defined classes of lumber, first, mill run and better, second, all inferior grades. As there is little demand for the latter, and every lumberman aims to produce only mill run and better, it is fair to treat the inferior grades as a by-pro- duct. Fix the whole cost of lumber on the better grades, ascertain what the inferior lumber may be sold for, and credit this to the cost of the better grades. Let us leave this solution to the readers of the “Canada Lumberman,” but with this parallel case to think over. A farmer sows a good grade of wheat. He reaps and garners no less than four grades of wheat.. How is he going to arrive at the cost of producing a given quantity of each grade. That is a cost on which he can accurately base a selling price so that he can make a reasonable profit on each grade? Capturers of the Trophies in Montreal Lumbermen’s Golf Tourney Arthur H.

Brooks— I was in an Ontario retail dealer’s yard a few days ago, when a customer called for a strong piece of 2 x 8—12’. The yard man showed him a pile of B. C. fir sized to western standard, explaining that fir was the strongest material he had around the place. “Looks pretty thin,’ observed the customer, “Let me see your rule.” Measurement developed the interesting fact that the piece only stood up full 1%", and the prospective buyer looked sceptical and unconvinced when told that, even with the scant thickness, fir was stronger than hemlock or spruce of full size. He decided that he would rather have hemlock, on the ground that, admitting the contention in the matter of strength, he did not see why he should pay for 2” material and get only 1%”. This incident is by no means unique, ‘but is used as leading naturally to a discussion of Standard sizes as between East and West. Making Concessions as to Quantity The viewpoint of the ultimate consumer is an important matter to the retailer, and inspires, to a very large extent, the decided antagonism experienced in some sections of the coun- try against the Western Standard Dimension sizes. The- orectically 2” lumber should measure 2”, and a great many of us know from actual experience with the old hand plane, that lumber can be dressed—and used to be dressed in the good old days— without materially reducing its thickness. We are very human and we want to get what we pay for. But we have to remember, conservative though we may ‘be by nature and inclination, that the past is gone taking with it the day of whip-sawn and hand-planed lumber; and that in order to get the quantity production which present day con- ditions necessitate, we have to make some concessions. In the case of the Eastern manufacturer, these conces- sions by the consuming public have eventuated in the adop- tion for dimension lumber of 134” as the finished dressed thickness, which shall be the irreducible minimum. To the man unversed in the technecalities of lumber manufacturing, this can be reasonably explained. A saw-mill is, at best, a rough and ready institution. The speed with which opera- tions must be carried out in order to make a profit on pro- duction, makes it inevitable that there will be slight varia- tions in sawing; and %4” on 2” lumber is well sacrificed to attain the blessings of uniform size and smooth surface. So the position of custom becomes consolidated. Why the Deduction of Another Eighth Perhaps the least understandable thing, in this connec- tion, to the man in the East, who has made his adjustment # ~ with the mills on the basis of 14” scant, is why the Pacific coast manufacturer with his immensely larger timber, wants to deduct another 44” from the product which he sells as 2” lumber. If, from the comparatively small logs available to the Eastern mills, it is possible to produce material, which when dry, will size to 134”, why should the West Coast operators offer material sized green to 15%” which, when dry, will not measure much over 1%4”? It doesn’t look reasonable; but there are reasons—one of them being that, even as the 134” standard was adopted and sanctified by custom in the East, so the 15g” standard was established in the West long before there was any serious thought of attempting to mar- ket West Coast Dimension in Eastern Canada. : Not the least important in establishing the Western Standard was the fact that the mills were up against heavy freight rates, even to the Prairie towns, which were their first and their natural markets. This meant that any reduc- tion in weight which could be effected by reducing the thick- ness of the material without seriously imparing its strength, was rendered inevitable by competition. Then there was the additional consideration that the mills in the States of Washington and Oregon had previously established the 15%” ' standard ; and that the mills-in British Columbia, when mar- ket conditions warranted, were competing with their Ameri- can neighbors for the trade of the Middle West. Thus— St BSS freight rates, and the fact that custom had already established the Western Standard across the line, were, undoubtedly, the greatest determining factors in bringing about the adoption of that standard by the operators in the Province of British Columbia. Size of the Timber is Consideration But, though the influence of these factors was of para-_ mount importance, there remain considerations of a physical nature which cannot be ignored; chief among which is the size of the timber o n the West Coast. It requires no great effort of imagination, even on the part of one not familiar — with Western mill operations, to understand ,the effect on machinery, particularly ‘the log carriage and track, of con- tinually handling logs whose weight must be computed in tons. The average log sawn will probably scale under 1,000 it. but it is no unusual thing, in the average run of logs for several to go into the mill daily that will scale from 2,000 to 3,000 ft.; and such logs we may figure conservatively will run in weight from three to five tons each. These logs are thrown on the carriage by machinery, with a slam; they are turned, again by machinery, with a jolt; and a continued series of slams and jolts are not conducive to true sawing of lumber. It is, in fact, a matter of surprise that the Western mills, in the absence of shock absorbers on their carriages, turn out lumber as well sawn as they do. ; ayes. Naturally where Eastern mills, operating in much smaller timber, are up against slight variations in sawing—the West- ern fellows have more serious trouble in the same way, for it is next to impossible to keep a carriage and track lined up true under the jarring weight of the heavy Coast timber; all of which would seem to justify the 34” allowance for straight- ening out the inequalities of sawing. ; Another factor to ‘be considered is the wide range of texture in West Coast fir. Standing by the sawyer in one of the mills, you will see a fir log almost as soft as white pine being sliced up, meeting the saw with a minimum of resis- tance; but perhaps the very next subject for operation will be a hard-grained, flinty, customer through which the saw will leave a trail like that of a snake through a half-dry mud puddle. And so it goes. Dressing Dimensions Green From Saw Still, the man of the East, having digested the forego- ing facts and theories may say,—‘‘Admitting all the difficul- ties in the way of the operator in big fir timber, why can’t he dry his stock in the rough and size it when shipping, so that we will get he 1-5@” thickness, at least?” The difficulty is that fir, like other woods when dry, will produce a very large percentage of degrade in dressing—a much greater per- centage, in fact, than spruce or hemlock; and this considera- tion together with the common necessity of drying and sell-_ ing his stock as quickly as possible, causes the average operator on the West ‘Coast to dress his dimension lumber — green from the saw. . It is readily understandable that the average mill man having his yard stocked with Western Standard dimension, and a market developed therefor, is not very enthusiastic in the matter of manufacturing %” scant for the Eastern trade. He has either to duplicate a portion of his stock in this thick- — ness, or to ship green absorbing $3.00 to $4.00 per M. in — freight on the excess weight. Even if he decided on stock- ing 14” scant he has not such plain sailing as, theoretically, he ought to have. 4%” difference in thickness is nothing in — the life of his “heathen” labor.

Hutcheson, president of the Muskoka Wood Manufacturing Co., Limited, whose headquarters are at Huntsville. On May 29, 1922 the extensive plant of the organi- zation was completely destroyed ‘by fire and on August 17 of the same year,—less than three months, a new sawmill had been erec- ted with a larger capacity than the former one, and was in operation. This isolated incident affords some idea of the progres- siveness and go-ahead character of Mr. Hutcheson. He is a man who has always kept himself largely in the background and his manufacturing interests in the fore- ground, and has done much to make Hunts- ville an industrial centre in addition to its attractiveness as a summer resort . Mr. Hutcheson is a farmer boy. He was born in Bruce County, about 56 years ago, and, after moving from the farm, his father purchased a small sawmill which he operat- ed successfully until the subject of this refer- ence was 13 years of age. Hutcheson, Sr., then removed to Muskoka and owned a mill on Lake Rosseau for four years. Hutcheson, Jr., who was always fond of the woods and liked fishing and hunting, went along. He attended the public school and afterwards took advanced lessons for one or two win- ter terms. He loved the smell of pine and hemlock and spent a couple of years in the bush and around the mill at Lake Rosseau doing odd chores and generally picking up first principles in the profession of saw- milling. The family came to Huntsville in 1885 where a general mercantile business was established by them under the name of Hut- cheson & Son. Eight years later fire swept through the town and cleaned out the store. George [iutcheson, the father, then retired R. J. Hutcheson, Huntsville, Ont. and a new firm known as Hanna & Hut- cheson Bros., was formed. In 1902, R. J. Hutcheson organized and formed the Mus- koka Wood Manufacturing Co., the original directors of which were Dr. Hart, Hunts- ville, president; E, W. B. Snyder, St. Jacobs, Ont., W. E. Hutcheson, Huntsville, W. Hanna, Port Carling, directors, and R. J. Flutcheson, vice-president and managing- director. Owned the Fastest Circular Mill The business flourished from the outset although the original cash capital was not large, “being only $36,500, and no further shares have been sold. A 15-acre site was purchased on the shore of Hunter’s Bay, a part of which had originally been the loca- tion of the Whaley Lumber Co. A small mill and factory were erected and improve- ments made from time to time until 1914 the company owned the fastest circular mill in Ontario. Practically all the softwood lumber cut was dressed at the factory and their Red Deer 'brand ‘hardwood ‘Aooring was well and favorably known from Coast to Coast. In 1915 the three sons of R. J, Hutcheson enlisted, two of them going overseas and shortly after their return in 1920, the balance of the original shares, with the exception of 30, were purchased by the father and the boys. It may be stated incidentally that the shareholders, in addition to getting all these years reasonable dividents, sold out for several times their original investment. R. J. Hutcheson is today president and man- aging-director of the Muskoka Wood Manu- facturing Co., Limited, and his sons, F. W. Hutcheson and H. M. Hutcheson are also officers of the organization, the former being vice-president and sales manager and the latter secretary-treasurer.

The capacity of the sawmill is 50,000 ft. a day and the size of the building is 40 by 134 ft. It is equipped with a double-cutting band mill. The mill was operated night and day until December 18th last when the 1922 stock of logs was cut out. The lath mill has a capacity of 30,000 4-ft. lath per day and was made by the E. Long Manufactur- ing Co., Orillia, Ont. The edger, which was also turned out by the same firm, is one of their heaviest and latest types. The slash table is of the overhead type and equipped with 9 saws. A remarkable record was made by the new mill in the latter part of 1922 in sawing logs that were uncut at the time of the fire, amounting to more than three ke i 3 YA CANADA LUMBERMAN and a half sa feet. The plant iS at present running 20 hours a day. The pa of the hardwood flooring factory, the main building of which is 80 by 250 {t. and turns out the widely-known brand of Red Deer hardwood flooring, was begun in October 1922 and was put in opera- tion last February. The flooring factory is equipped throughout with American Wood miedbine Machinery Co. machines. No. 329 flooring matchers are now at work and it is the intention of the firm to add two more. No. 329 is the latest make, being equipped with feed table and each unit has separate end matchers. The material for the floor- ing is ripped with an American gang rip saw. The plant of the company occupies some 17 acres and the office building on Main Street, overlooking the extensive yard, is a four storey brick structure, all of which is occupied by the firm, In connection with the operations of the Muskoka Wood Manufacturing Co. there is installed in the power house three Waterous tubular boilers, 16 ft. x 66 in. and it is expected that another boiler will be placed in position in the near future. The Motive Power of the Plant The factory power is- supplied ‘by an. Allis-Chalmers generator with a normal ca- pacity of 500 h.p. directly connected to Gol- die & McCulloch compound engine. This engine and dynamo weigh 100. tons and will furnish up to 750 h.p. Each machine in the factory is driven by direct-connected motor and the electric equipment was supplied by the Canadian General Electric Co., Limited. The heating and shavings exhaust system, which keeps the premises neat and clean, was supplied by Sheldons, Limited, of Galt, Ont, The dry kilns are of the progressive type —150 ft. long and three compartments, each 20 ft. wide. They are built of cement ‘and tile-lined, and have a capacity of 350,000 ft. to 400,000 ft. of lumber at one time. The John V. Gray Construction Co., of Toronto, was .the builder and it is the intention to increase the kiln capacity in the near future. Sheldons, Limited, of Galt, Ontario supplied the kilns. The storehouse will hold two million feet of flooring. The flooring is loaded inside the storehouse into railway cars, steel rails being laid the entire length of the building. Wardwood cuttings are conveyed from the factory into a wood chute and can be drop- ped into railway cars or delivered by wag- gons to customers around town.

William Hunt, of Huntsville, had the contract for the construction of the big storehouse. All departments of the Muskoka Wood Manu- facturing organization are busy at the pre-— sent time and some two hundred men are given constant employment in the sawmill, yard and flooring plant. The outlook for fall business is bright and the company will carry on extensive camp operations on_its limits this winter in preparation for an active season during the year that is ahead. ‘(Construction in 15.4% for 1923, as The mortgage : _ The pulp and paper industry of Canada, which rests upon the utilization of the coun- ‘try’s pulpwood resources, ranks second in _ point of capital investment among the indus- ‘tries of the Dominion. Its capital amounts to close upon four hundred million dollars. It ranks next to agriculture and the breeding of live stock in its contribution to the exter- nal trade of ‘Canada. The value of its annual exports amounts to more than one hundred millions. It com- prises over 100 establishments, scattered throughout the country, principally in Que- _ bee, Ontario and British Columbia. It gives ‘regular employment to some 25,000 opera- tives, exclusive of woodsmen, who, at cer- tain seasons, number as many more. It pays out in salaries and wages same $35,000,000 annually and produces commodities valued at over $150,000,000. Its greatest growth _has taken place within a comparatively few _ years and has been due in part to the wan- ing supply of pulpwood in the United States, which has made it necessary for that coun- try to look to the Dominion for a consider- able part of its requirements of pulp and paper. Water-power developments has had much to do with the growth of the industry and other favorable factors have played their part. It is becoming more and more evident that its future rests upon the degree of scien- tific management which can be applied to the forests and this, in turn, depends upon the measure of support accorded by the - governments responsible for the protection Sand conservation of the country’s resources. Increasing Consumption of Pulp Wood Since 1908, which is as far back as reli- able records are available, the consumption _ of pulpwood in ‘Canada has shown a remark- able increase. In 1908 the Canadian mills used 482,777 cords of wood in the manufac- ture of pulp and paper; in 1920, the con- sumption of. pulpwood amounted to 2,777,- 422 cords, or almost six. times as much. “While the dollar value of the wood has not - increased at the same ratio, there has ‘been a considerable increase.as shown by the fact : that the average value per cord in 1908 was $6.07 while in {921 it was $17.55, an increase 4 of approximately 190 per cent. ¥ The year 1920 witnessed the greatest con- sumption of pulpwood by ‘Canadian mills, F amounting to 2,777,422 cords. Consumption Sim 1921 declined somewhat, owing to the business depression, but when the figures for 1922 become available it, will be seen that _ the consumption was greater last year than in 1920, and will probably exceed 3,000,000 cords. y In the last fifteen years the Canadian P mills have consumed approximately 25,000,- _ 000 cords of wood. The larger part of. this wood was spruce, although of late years the percentage of spruce has not been so high as it was at the beginning of this per- ; iod.- In 1908 spruce formed 87 per cent of - the total wood consumed, while balsam formed 12 per cent; in 1921, the last year Se which figures are available, Siu ee ACs CANADA LUMBERMAN By Edward Beck, Montreal Manager, Canadian Pulp and Paper Association sam 25 per cent, hemlock ranking third with about 5 per cent. In addition to domestic consumption a considerable quantity of wood has been exported during this period. In 1908, 885,- 409 cords, having an average value of $5.47 per cord, were exported; in 1922, 1,011,332 cords with an average value of $10.24 per cord. Total exports of pulp-wood during the past fifteen years amounted to 15,377,000 cords or a yearly average of 1,025,000 cords. Combining domestic consumption with ex- ports we have a total for this period of over 40 million cords, of which our own mills have consumed 62 per cent and our exports were 38 per cent. How Pulp Wood Exports Grow It is of interest to note that whereas in 1908 we exported 65 per cent of our cut of pulpwood and consumed only 35 per cent. this ratio gradually changed until in 1921 we exported 33 per cent and consumed 67 per cent. Since in 1922 our exports were smaller and our production of pulp and paper greater than in 1921 the production con- sumed at home as compared with the vol- ume exported will be found to have increased. Since 1902. Canadian exports of pulp- wood have all gone to the United States. Our exports supply about 20 per cent of the total pulpwood used in that country. This, however, does not represent our entire con- tribution to their pulp and paper supply as that country also takes about 90 per cent of our pulp and paper exports, which have also increased very considerably in the past few years. Expansion of Great Industry Canada’s increasing consumption of pulpwood is, of course, reflected in the large Edward Beck, Montreal Canada i is Fast Approaching the Time When Supplies of Raw Wood Will be Difficult to Maintain increase in the manufacture of pulp and paper which has taken place in the last fif- teen years. The annual report of the For- estry Branch showed 40 mills producing pulp in Canada in 1908; in 1921 the report shows 67 mills engaged in the manufacture of pulp. In the earlier year the total quantity of pulp produced was 306,738 tons valued at $2,931,- 653, in 1920 the total production amounted to 1,960,102 tons valued at $141,553,000. In volume of production mechanical pulp with about 1,500,000 tons per annum leads. Production of this grade of pulp increased from 325,609 tons in 1908 to 1,090,114 tons in 1920. Of the total production in 1920, 703,000 tons were made for use in the domes- tic mills and 304,000 tons were exported. Since 1908 Canada has exported 3,929,000 tons of mechanical pulp, of which 2,764,00 tons have gone to the United States and 935,000. tons to the United Kingdom. Of the total production of 1,090,014 tons in 1920, 558,000 tons, or over one-half, were produced in the Province of Quebec and 394,000 tons in Ontario. The total production of chemical pulp in 1909 was 120,000 tons of which 115,000 tons was sulphite pulp. In 1920,. production of chemical pulp amounted to 848,528 tons, of which 654,273 tons was sulphite and the remainder sulphate, with the exception of 5,800 tons soda pulp. Previous to 1909 no pulp was produced in British Columbia but in that year the province manufactured 644 tons, all sulphite with the exception of 44 tons of soda pulp. In 1920 British Colum- bia produced 108,774 tons of mechanical pulp, 92,466 tons of sulphite and 17,242 tons of sulphate; a total of 218,482 tons. The total production of chemical pulp in 1920 was 848,528 tons, of which Quebec pro- duced 400.355 tons; Ontario 256,317 tons and British Columbia 109,708 tons. The Export of Chemical Pulp Canadian exports of chemical pulp have risen from 40,687 tons in 1908 to 507,827 tons in 1922. Of the total production we export about 60 per cent, most of which goes to the United States with smaller quanti- ties to England,. France and Japan. During 1922 Canadian exports of chemical pulp amounted to 507,827 tons at $31,567,044 divi- ded as follows: bleached sulphite, 151,048 tons valued at $12,112,408; unbleached sul- phite 208,445 tons valued at $10,377,746 and sulphate 148,335 tons valued at $9,166,818. According to the latest census report the Canadian mills in 1921 had an annual capa- city of 1,320,344 tons, dry weight: mechani- cal pulp and of 1,039,866 tons of chemical pulp. While the figures given indicate that . the largest cut of pulpwood in any one year has not greatly exceeded four million cords, the probabilities are that the current year will witness a cut somewhat in excess of five millions. New mills which have come into operation or are in progress of building, will materially increase the domestic de- mand. Exports are also increasing. From January to June, inclusive, this year Canada exported 731,162 cords of pulpwood as com- pared with 462,196 cords during the corres- 122 ponding period last year, an increase of 58 per cent over 1922. . The indications point to a still greater rate of increase during the remainder of the year. It is safe to assume that the annual drain upon Canada’s pulp- wood resources will amount to not less’than , 5,000,000 cords a year as long as that amount of wood is available. How Much Further Can We Go The question arises as to how much far- ther Canada can go in the development ot the pulp and paper industry with reasonable assurance of being able to find the required raw material for its maintenance and with- out jeopardizing the enormous amount of capital already invested. ‘This brings tup the subject of Canada’s pulpwood supply, concerning which there are as many and as varied opinions as they are authorities. Some official statistics have already been placed before the Conference. Unofficial estimates vary. Some of them say there is enough pulpwood in Canada to last all rea- sonable requirements for centuries; others that, even should there be no increase in the present rate on consumption there is not enough maturing pulpwood to serve the existing industries for more than a compara- tively short period and that if fire and insects are allowed to continue their destructive work the life of the existing supply will be shortened still more. It is unfortunate that there is not avail- able any authentic and complete inventory of Canada’s pulpwood supply, and that most of the estimates that are available cannot be regarded as altogether reliable or up to date. One of Canada’s first necessities in dealing with the pulpwood problem would seem to be the securing of reliable data as to the standing supply of wood. Some Figures Regarding the Future In 1919, Mr. F, J. Campbell, then presi- dent of the Canadian Pulp & Paper Asso- ciation, in an address before the Canadian Forestry Association, after a study of avail- able statistics, stated that 15 years previous- ly the life expectancy of the pulpwood areas of Quebec, according to the ‘best authority then available, had been placed at 334 years. By the simple method of deducting the known consumption of wood in the mean- time, Mr. Campbell showed that the life expectancy had ‘been reduced by 1919 to 95 years, and he indicated that by 1928, or 24 years from the time of the original calcula- tion, the expectancy of supply would have dwindled to 45 years. His figures allowed nothing for losses from extraneous causes and took only the actual increase in con- sumption as a basis. “In the year 1890, the value of the out- put of the pulp and paper industry in Can- ada,” he illustrated. “was $3,633,257; in the year 1915 this output had grown to $40,- 348,021. In 25 years it had become eleven times greater than it was. The figures men- tioned regarding our wood supply allow for an increased consumption that in 24 years, - or in the.year 1928, only nine year ahead, will be 5% times greater than in 1904, but it is evident that at the prevailing rate of development, the consumption will be at least ten times greater than in 1904, or 5% million cords per annum. At that rate the remaining supply would be about 121 mil- lion cords, or, without allowing for further increase, sufficient for only 22 years more. Constantly Accelerating Consumption Rate “We cannot get away from the con- stantly accelerating rate of consumption and as our supply, whatever it may be, is not Pe ol Ae © MD SS) Cee ee ae pape eae CANADA LUMBERMAN at present increasing, the need of conser- vation and reforestation is daily becoming more urgent.” The significance of Mr. Campbell’s state- ment lies in the fact that whereas he figured that by reaching an annual rate of cutting of 5%4 million cords by 1928, Quebec’s avail- able pulpwood would be reduced to 22 years’ supply, instead of the 334 years’ estimate made in 1904, we have already, as previously pointed out, practically reached that annual cut in 1923, or five years ahead of the time calculated by Mr. Campbell. Mr. George Cahoon, Jr., another former president, in a bulletin issued by the Asso- ciation in 1920, emphasized the rapidly dwindling supply of pulpwood, its rising cost and the vital necessity of taking ade- quate steps for its replenishment. “The pulp and paper companies have foreseen the difficulty which confronts them in the waning supply and the increased cost of logging and transportation, and have given much study to its solution,” he said. “This great industry has organized and pe:- fected a system of fire protection and has obtained from the government the enact- ment of better laws for the protecton of the forests. It has proposed legislation for re- forestation and is urging the government to pass it. It has spent money for experimen- tal work, so that there would be a sound basis of facts on which to lay down rules for forest management and on which to base a wise forest policy. Experimental planta- tions have been made to determine the best species to plant and the proper soils on which to plant them. Government Must Manage Forests “This whole question of managing the forests for a sustained yield and for the good ~ of the country at large cannot, however, be left to private or corporaton effort. Since the forests actually belong to the Dominion and Provincial Governments, it is their plain duty to manage them properly. Then, too, the long term investment required, the length of time necessary to raise a crop o trees, the low rate of interest which must be charged against the principal invested, must be undertaken by the only certain long- lived agency capable of such work—the Government. In all the provinces a large part of the general expenses of Government are taken out of revenues, and in no instance is a reasonable or properly adequate sum being used in the upkeep and perpetuation of the property. Our legislatures and admin- istrators are beginning to realize the situa- tion, and much progress has been made in the past five years. There is much need of further progress and in this work, both the governments and the public can be assured of the broad-minded and public-spirited atti- ‘tude of the pulp and paper industry and can be assured that it will co-operate in every way to develop forest policy which will place Canada on a firm and solid basis as the greatest pulp and paper producing country ‘in the world.” The Constantly Deminishing Supply Dr. C, D. Howe, Dean of the Faculty ot Forestry of the University of Toronto, is also on record as‘to the probable duration ‘of Canada’s pulpwood supply. He says: “Estimates have been made which ex- ‘tend all the way from 15 years to 1.000 years, About 30 years ago a prominent lumber- man predicted that the timlber supply of Eastern ‘Canada would not last 25 years— and we still have some timber left. Yet his prediction came true. Using the standard of his time he was right. | h they were cutting trees two feet i It apparently did not occur to him t use of smaller trees would become | able. alt we were today dependent upon two feet.in diameter for our timber or pt wood supplies we would be facing a fam 1 Except in protected places, softwood of that size are gone from the forests— they never will return.

Ff prices of lumber made this possible. ~-T higher the price of lumber, the closer utilization of the forest. Trees too to be utilized today and in all probabi will be used 10 or 20 years from now, mates as to the continuance of the spruce pulpwood supply are usually based on trees 12 inches or more in diameter, for this is the diameter limit below which spruce trees may not be leagally cut in Quebec, where the pulp and paper industry is centred. Person- ally, I believe that the supply of spruce trees of that class will not last very much longer at the present rate of increase in pulpwood production in eastern Canada. In fact, the diminishing of eles Sey has already begun. Pressing New Woods into Service 4 q “Woods not now extensixely used may be pressed into service, such as popular a birch. Enormous quantities of these species as yet practically untouched are to be found in Eastern Canada. The making of pulp _from poplar requires a different prdcess froin — that of birch and each in turn a different process from that of spruce. So if the hard-— woods were used instead of spruce, the pulp mills would have to be reorganized, new machinery installed and new proceses estab- — lished. This would be expensive, but it would be done if necessary—and the con-— sumer of pulp products would pay the cost. © “The other alternative before the pulp companies when the supply of 12-inch spruce — gives out, would be to move northward into — the Hudson Bay region and utilize the small — undersized spruce to be found in the north country where thousands of square’ miles_ are covered with spruce from 4 to 8 inches in diameter. It has attained full growth; it will never be any larger and might as weil be cut. As you know, the northward migra- tion of pulp and paper mills has already — begun. I believe it will continue. I believe — the next generation will see the centre of © the spruce pulpwood industry on Hudson — Bay waters instead of on St. Lawrence — waters. The manufacturing costs will be — high, the transportation — charges will be — heavy—and the consumer will foot the bills.’ Public Interest is Being Aroused These views are typical of all those in — Canada best qualified to deal with the sub- — ject. They all agree in the premise that so — far as Eastern Canada is concerned we are — rapidly approaching the time, when the industries which owe their existence to coni- — ferous woods, will experience great difficulty in maintaining their supply of raw material. % The hopeful thing about the situation is that gi public opinion is being surely and certainly — aroused in behalf of "geientifie methods | om dealing with the remaining forests and ‘that the governments, both federal and provin- cial, are actively interesting themselves in bringing about an improved condition.

Co., of Orillia, Ont., an alligator named “Alice,“ from West, Peachey & Sons, Simcoe, Ont., while an extra slab slash- _ er has been placed behind the tie edger. Reverting to the new sleephouse or camp, with its splendid equipment, it may be stated that the layout of the building is U _ shape, comprising a front wing and two side wings with a ground area of 90 fit. x 100°ft. Each of the side wings is 30 ft. wide, leaving a space of 30 ft. between the wings and giving plenty of light to the rooms facing the court between wings. Each wing has a central . corridor 7 ft. wide. +S X _ Interior Arrangement is Admirable There are two entrances in front of the building, each opening into a large lobby or rotunda which is fitted up wth seats and forms a smoking or rest room. These rotundas are one, practically speak- ing, only that two writing rooms, each 8 ft. x 10 ft, have been built off the middle in front. The wash room 10 x ° 30 ft. adjoins that part facing the court between the wings. This leaves an actual lobby of 28 ft. x 79 ft. less 460 ft. of floor space which is taken up by the afore- mentioned rooms. The lavatory is supplied with running water pumped from a pump house to a storage tank built in the court in - front of the apartment. _ There are 44 bedrooms on the ground floor, each being 7 ft. 4 in, x 10 ft. 6 in. There is a window to each room and a fanlight over every door, affording plenty of ventilation. Access to the upper floor is gained by two stairways, one to each wing, these leading out of the lobbies downstairs. There are 56 bedrooms upstairs, of: the same size and fitted up in the same manner as those below. The equip- ment of each bedroom consists of one, two-deck unit, steel camp bed with spring and mattress and necessary bedclothes, a table and bench. No washing is permitted in the bedrooms. The construction of the entire building is of lumber, the whole of the interior being finished in V-joint pine. The village consists of 36 residences, one tie inspector’s resi- dence and office, the new sleep camp, the cookery to feed 200 men, store, school etc. The houses are of two classes, the 4-roomed cot- tage and the storey-and-half house containing six rooms. These are all finished off with V-joint and make a most comfortable dwelling, being nicely located and looking out over the lake. The ten new residences erected this summer face the sleep camp, the intervening ground having been converted into a baseball diamond. New Cable Bridge Across Narrows Another feature carried out at Dalton last summer was the cable bridge across the narrows of the lake with a span of 150 it. First, two large heavy concrete piers. were constructed, one on each side of the narrows, and as they were built, 2-in. pipes were inserted in the concrete at the right angle to draw the cables; then at the water’s edge a heavy timber bent 10 ft. in height, was built each side. The cables, (six in number) were next placed in position over the bents. Attached to the ends of each cable is a heavy steel rod threaded at one end and placed through the pipes in the piers; then the rods were tightened up and the proper tension placed on the cables. On the three quarter inch cables were placed 4 in. x 4 in. stringers, 8 ft. in length, spaced equally apart on these stringers the deck was laid. The cable bridge is a great improvement as previous- ly the employees had to cross the narrows on planks placed on the boom. The accompanying pictures afford some idea of the splendid sleep camp and type of houses erected at Dalton Mills by Austin & Nicholson, and also indicate the extent of the activities of the firm at this point. There is noticed a view of the new Kipawa dam, which was built last winter and cost about $10,000. This dam holds back the waters on the Shikwampa Lake for a distance of six miles. It will be observed in the picture showing the sorting shed of the mill that the lumber is handled from the sorting table in an expeditious manner. The table is built high enough for the tracks and cars to pass under. This enables the cars to be placed and loaded at one end and then pushed out and loaded at the other end. In the left- hand corner of the illustration is seen a swhbway track which passes under the table and on into the lath mill. The tracks are standard gauge and standard 36 foot cars are used. . eg . © OS a ee 124 ky > s** eee mae > fT * CANADA LUMBERMAN PO ite ise Bungalows are usually thought of as small and often built more for looks than for every-day use, but not so in this attractively different bungalow and practical home. Con- structed even in a city residential district where beautiful homes are numerous, it would have a distinct indiv:duality of real grace in line and design. Though a bungalow plan, this one takes the liberty of lifting a good portion of its rear roof and thus making itself into a regular full-grown house of really seven large rooms, including the sleeping porch, and, a wealth of storage space, linen presses and closets. A study of the floor plans will indicate that this home should be adequate for a large family, and withal it remains a bungalow. The architects are Olsen & Urbain, of Chicago. The plans call for a complete hollow tile structure, with an exterior finish (according to specifications) of Portland white cement stucco and brick. This home also would look well with tile walls exposed or with walls faced entirely with brick. With a cubical content of 280, 700 cubic feet, it is estim~ ated by the Home Owners’ Service Institute that this bunga- low can be built to-day at a cost of between $11,000 and $14,000. Locality, exact type of construction decided upon, fixtures and equipment selected, heating system, roof sur- face and the like determine exact costs of home building to- day, and these decisions, with consequent cost, always are up to the owner. One of the exterior features of this home is the large porch which lengthens itself out into a terrace when it emer- ges from beneath the pergola roof. The front entrance lead- ing directly into the living-room from the terrace is con- venient. If desired, a vestibule entrance could be added. Good-looking seats, jardinieres and plant boxes will add to the homey entrance effect, as shown on the accompanying architectural sketch. The downstairs bedroom is a floor plan feature, slit would remove a climb from first to second floor for one mem- ber of the family, or could be used as a maids’ room. The ground floor plan shows living room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom and lavatory. The second floor has two bedrooms, a sleeping porch, storage room, clothes closets, linen space, and tiled bathroom. Somehow, a home doesn’t seem quite a home without a real fireplace. Here the fireplace is trimmed with ‘brick and is built along the living room outer wall. Bookcases flank it on either side, and above it are two windows providing just the right reading light. Cased openings between the living and dining rooms are becoming more and more popular again, principally for the splendid effect of spaciousness produced, to say nothing of the added light and perfect ventilation thus obtained. The kitchen, as planned in this home will be a constant delight to the thorough and efficient housewife. She will revel in the wall cases, which replace the pantry and which certainly are easier of access and more readily kept in order than a pantry, in which anything and everything is hastily set down, to be put in place later. In these cases, there is a place for Memeo snbek ae on at) eee f A Bungalow that is Different UV - ay FIRST FLOOR PLAN. ae SECOND F: THOR PLAN. everything and everything is quite naturally put in its place. And at the same time when the help problem is such a serious one, the saving of steps and having the table service handy to the dining room are ‘big items. Because of improved and scientific methods of refrigeration, it is now necessary to have the ice box accessible from the back porch. It may be placed wherever most convenient, which ae is near the dining room. ; Sey Here we find the ice box Hone even for the ice man, by way of the rear hallway, handy to the dining room, and fat enough away from the cook stove so that the heat of the stove will not reach it. In short, the kitchen arrangement is scientifically correct. ' And because this home is built entirely of hollow tile- outer walls, interior walls and floors, it is fireproof with the exception of doors and windows; and weather proof, for hol- low tile provides perfect insulation against heat and against cold and dampness. Complete plans ‘and specifications by the architects are — available at low cost through the Home Owners’ Service In- stitute, 37 West Thirty-Ninth Street, New York City.

The territory is at present rather large and unwieldy; in fact the various districts throughout Ontario may be divided into subsidiary ones of two counties each where local meetings can be held to discuss matters of a purely domestic character. Then there will be larger dis- trict gatherings which will be held possibly every three months and questions of more general import discussed. It is expected that the local bodies will prove acceptable aids to the district and the districts will keep alive the work in the larger sphere of activity, with the O.R.L.D.A. as the source of inspiration and centralization. At a meeting held at St. Catharines recently a committee was appointed to re- organize the Niagara district, and, with this end in view, a representative gathering will be held at the Rita Hotel, Welland, on Saturday September 22nd. Dinner will be served at 1 o’clock, after which there will be a general session of lumbermen and many matters of vital interest will be taken up. _ Officers will also be elected for the coming _ year. The present president of the district is S. L. Lambert, of Welland, and the secre- _ tary O. W. Rice, of Welland. Trade Questions up for Discussion The reorganization committee, which has _ the matter in hand and was named at St. _ Catharines, is composed of K. J. Shirton, ~ Dunnville; John Davis, St. Catharines; _ James Harriman, Niagara Falls, and A. M. » Wise, St. Catharines. These men have _ promised to see that everything is done to arouse greater interest in the work along “the lines proposed, and there is no doubt ad 4 AP » tn - S. L. Lambert, Welland, Chairman of Niagara District that the gathering at Welland on Saturday, September 22nd will be representative and enthusiastic. At the meeting in St. Catharines when this step was decided upon, several matters were discussed in regard to the outlook for trade. It was stated that the retail business had fallen off considerably in the Niagara district during the past few weeks and that there were several cases of price-cutting. One delegate remarked that three lumber- men had gone to the wall in one of the coun- ties within the past few years through slash- ing prices. There were a few others who seemed to think it a mark of ability to get rid of their stock at the lowest possible value and undersell the other fellow. “In the lumber business to-day,” said one member, “wholesale prices on white pine, hemlock, spruce, etc., are about 20 per cent higher than they were last year at this time. The manufacturer’s prices have been going up and the retailer has not been able to raise his fingers accordingly. The result is that the most of us are doing business at a less profit than we have in a long period. Now, I don’t mind being frank with you and telling you that the retail prices are not as ‘high as they should be, considering the cost of doing business, wages, taxes, insurance, ete., but, honestly, I am afraid to raise quotations. The result is we will not make any money this season although we did pretty well last year. I had no kick coming in 1922. There are still a few price-cutters in our district who think that if they make five or six per cent on their money, they are playing safe. They will however, find out their mistake before very long. They evi- dently know very little about. overhead costs or the costs of unloading, piling, storing, handling and delivering stock. We are sell- ing hemlock to-day at $48, and it is too low.” Buys Only Best Grades of Hemlock Another member declared that he was getting $50 for hemlock and that he had decided to purchase No. 1 exclusively. When mill run or merchantable was frequently offered to him and guaranteed not to contain more than 10 per cent of No. 2, he found that a greater proportion of No. 2 was included in the stock. The result was that a large part of the hemlock was merely suit- 126 able for culls; in fact he had been forced to sell a lot of this material in one big pile at a bargain sum last year in order to get rid of it. Most of the others present stated that in their opinion there was no money handl- ing hemlock other than No. 1.. Some pre- ferred to pay a dollar or two more and get spruce, or purchase Georgia pine on both of which in quantity lot sales they could make a better profit. Another matter which came up for dis- cussion was the question of advertising and service. Some declared that they used the “builders’ page’ in the daily or weekly papers and got good results. Others found that a small advt. in the telephone directory was a ready reference and brought in a num- ber of inquiries, while those, who have adopted the building plan service, inaugur- ated by the Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association and have sent out colored cards, presenting cuts of attractive homes and stating that they could supply the material for the same, have discovered that this evoked considerable interest. One delegate stated that a man came into his office the other day, stating that he had received a large contract for concrete work and required some lumber for forms. The outsider started off by stating—‘I under- stand that your prices are a little higher - than Mr. So and So’s, whose name has also been furnished to me, but I am told that you give service and that is what we are after at the present time. We desire prompt deliv- eries as the work we have in hand cannot be held up.” How Service Will Capture Customers “Now,” continued the speaker, “I got that business simply on service although my price was higher than that of the other fellow, and service is the way I like to have my name brought before the public. It means something after all to keep your word and make your deliveries when you say that you will.” One other matter discussed was that of manufacturers or wholesalers selling to con- tractors in a town or city. This practice has been pretty well eliminated although there are occasional violations on the part of wholesalers, but where these become known, the retail dealers, not only in that town but district, refuse to buy from such firms. It was poinnted out that, as a con- tractor had no expensive yard or mill equip- ment to maintain and no heavy overhead, he could do business on much less capital in- vestment than a retail yardman. In one or two cities in Western Ontario where whole- salers had sold contractors, the matter has been investigated by the O.R.L.D.A. and the offenders written and now there are few breaches of legitimate transactions. Asso- ciation work and united effort have done this for the retail lumberman. Mr. H. Boultbee, secretary of the O.R.L.D.A., who was present, asked all those who knew of any breaches of trade ethics to report them in order that action might be taken. The matter of the Mechanics’ Lien Act was also discussed, the necessity for prompt collections, living up to all agreements, the cultivation of a closer community spirit and the general benefits of organization. Most of these subjects will be dealt with in greater detail at the reorganization meeting which will be held in Welland on September 22nd, when definite recommendations will be presented regarding the future scope and character of the work. CANADA LUMBERMAN One lumberman stated that he had never been stuck for material in his own town as he would not make delivery of lumber, lath, shingles, etc., to anyone except to the owner of the property or the man who had the deed for the real estate, and thus he did not have to resort to the Mechanics’ Lien Law for protection. Delivering material to other men, contractors, speculative builders, etc., was where many losses were contracted. Most of those present thought that the building material man should have a greater protection than the present law offered and that the time for extending and putting on a lien should be more than thirty days. Another member stated that the fees of lawyers* were too high and there was not much satisfaction in putting the lien law in operation as anything secured was swal- lowed up in costs. Operation of Mechanics Lien Act Secretary Boultbee explained the work- ings of the measure, passed at the last session of the Ontario Legislature, which gives a judge wider power to use his dis- cretion in seeing that all parties get just treatment; this, notwithstanding the way in which the contracts may have been worded ( O. W. Rice, Welland, — Secretary of Niagara District and the previously accepted principles of the Act. A judge is now able to exercise a larger measure of common-sense and not be bound down by rigid limitations and can render decision upon the real merits of a case. It was explained by the Secretary that this was important first, in overcoming obstacles experienced under the old Act in cases where a ridiculously low contract price was agreed upon between the owner and the contractor, thus, under the hold- back, reducing the liability of the owner; second, in overcoming difficulties in connec- tion with an unreasonably high price men- tioned in an agreement of sale under which the purchaser is to erect buildings upon the land sold. If the latter went back on his agreement, liens were filed and the lien claimants discovered, under the old Act, that the seller had a prior claim for the unpaid portion of the purchase price. As this figure was absurdly high, all the available money was eaten up and the claimants under liens got little or nothing. The Responsibility of the Owner Two sections of the new Act deal espe- cially with the owner’s responsibility. Sec- . meet the circumstances of the case, so as to a9, ¢ ¥ We ey ES ag See AE make the owner liable for a pie than the sum payable by the owner to ‘th contractor.” This section was also in t old Act. _ Section 6. however, has con of the section states that this lien shall 1 “limited to the sum justly due to the pe entitled to the Jien and the sum justly owit by the owner.” This portion, with the “justly” in two different places, is new a the manner in which this word “justly” expected to be interpreted by the court clearly indicated by changes which h been made. , One section instructs the judge or “offices trying the case as to his duties. It is in much the same language as the correspond- ing section of the former Act but it contains, | Mr. Boultbee said, a new clause (a) as fol-_ lows: “The form of the judgment may be — varied by the judge or officer in order to afford to any party to the proceedings any — right or remedy in the dae to which he may be entitled.” a Fraudulent Agresnoaee Checked Continuing Mr. Boultbee said that legal advice has been obtained as to the interpre- tation of these clauses that may be expected — after the new Act comes into force. We are told that “Because of the joint operation ot Section 33, Sub-section 1, and Section 36 Sub-section 3, the officer trying the case has jurisdiction to deal with a fraudulent agree- | ment and, if it does not express the true con- sideration, Sub-section 3 of Section 36, — allows him to give the necessary relief to a lien holder and declare that the agreement — for purchase shall have priority only to the extent of the actual amount justly owing by | the owner to the contractor.” Further, legal advice contains the following: “Tf, in fact, there was a fictitious contract price mentioned in the contract (too low for com- pleting the work) and a lien holder estab- lishes this fact at the trial, the judge or officer can give him a lien upon the full amount justly owing, notwithstanding the wording of the contract.” It will be seen, therefore, that, if our advice is accurate, a fictitiously low contract price will not in future relieve the owner of any liability short of the actual amount justly owing for — work done and materials supplied. In connection with the delivery of mater-. ial to a job, a change has been made in the wording of the new Act. An amendment that we advocated in 1918, and which was carried, provided that delivery upon a lot adjacent to the job should be a good deliv- ery for the purpose of establishing a lien. — The new Act, while continuing this prin- — ciple, seeks to regulate it to some extent. The words used in the new Act are as fol- — lows: “The placing or furnishing of such materials to be used upon the said lands, or | such other place in the immediate vicinity of 3 the said land designated by the owner or his agent, shall be good and sufficient delivery © for the purpose of this Act.” It will be noted that, in the case of delivery upon. land “in the vicinity,” the new Act requires ‘it to be “designated by the owner or his agent.” It will, therefore, be necessary for the ma- — terial man to have the owner or his agent designate the place of delivery if it is not upon the actual lot on which the building & ise being erected. tit a ted ara Be aah i = ede Z. Mageau, Sturgeon Falls, Ont. _ Up in the Nipissing district a new sawmill started operations recently with a cutting capacity of 60,000 feet a day. The plant is hat of the Mageau Lumber Co..and the location is at Field where the first mill was built by the firm in 1914 with an output of 16,000 feet daily. This was increased to 22,000 feet two years later and a new mill was built in 1917 with a production of 36,000 feet. Two years later the circular saw was changed to a double cut band which increased the output to 45,000 feet. This mill was burned in Oct- ober 1922, and reconstruction operations were soon started on the same site. -The main part of the new mill is 36 x 132 feet and the lath ill annex 28 x 44 feet. The engine room is 24 x 28 feet; the boiler room 32 x 42 feet and the sorting sheds 26 x 146 feet. The output ‘of the mill is chiefly white pine with a small percentage of red pine, and the equipment, which was supplied by the E. Long Mfg. Co., of Orillia, consists of a double cut band saw, 8-foot wheel; 40-inch heavy duty carriage; steam set works; heavy duty centre drive gang edger and a lath mill and bolter. Power is supplied from two rost engines 18 x 20 feet. “The band mill has been giving the very best of satisfaction since the first day we started operating our new mill and has not required one minute’s special attention. We do not think it would be possible to get better service,” remarked an officer of the Mageau Lumber Co. The company has ample yard accommodation and can take care of about 15,000,000 feet on the premises. The firm piles from high cars and has two standard gauge trucks throughout the yard, the cars being hauled to any desired point with horses. Shipments are made by rail only. The Mageau Lumber Co. handle about 1,500,000 feet through their own planing mill each season and operate all their own camps and drive the logs to the mill by water. _ The Mageau Lumber Co. own timber limits in the townships ‘of Bastedo, Fell ,James and Pardo in the district of Nipissing. All the output of the mill is disposed of down to No. 3 culls, and as there is no market in the district for slabs or trimmer ends, a large proportion of these is consumed in the burner. The sawdust is burned in the boilers and the refuse in the burner which is 21 feet in diameter. The lath department of the mill has a capacity of about 45,000 pieces a day. Prices and Production Costs The company markets all its output principally through whole- salers and states that prices just now are proportionate with the cost of production. Wages, however, have a rising tendency which can only be covered by a higher figure for lumber in order to operate at a profit. _ The Mageau Lumber Co., as already stated, operate a planing ‘mill in connection with their plant which is equipped with a matcher, ‘sticker, 4-foot band saw and self-feed rip saw, which were supplied by the A. R. Williams Machinery Co., Toronto. The planing mill is 60 x 72 feet, and the engine and boiler room 20 x 60 feet. _ The company report that they have all the labor that they need just now. Wages range from 25 to 75 cents per day more than last year for ordinary labor. Skilled help is continually on the rise ail many skilled men seem to prefer working as ordinary laborers unless they get the figure they demand. _ The Mageau Lumber Co. operate a general store at Field. From 1914 until 1918 the organization was known as the “Field Lumber 0.,’ but in the latter year the name was changed to the “Mageau get i 4 Finely Equipped Saw- mill at Field New Plant Erected by Mageau Lumber Co. in the Nipissing District to Replace the Mill Burned Down Last Year, Possesses Many Features of Interest—Rapid and Economical Production and Model Arrangement of Equip- ment—Cutting Capacity of 60,000 ft.

The head of the concern is Zotique Mageau who is a former Mayor and a prominent resident of Sturgeon Falls, and has for many years occupied a seat in the Ontario Legislature Mr. Mageau was born in 1865 at St. Julienne, Que., and has always been a progressive and public-spirited resident of the north. He has been in ihe lum- ber business off and on for the last quarter of a century. Mr. Mageau was re-elected in the Liberal interests in the late Ontario elections. e H. O.

He was with the late Alex. under which title it has remained up till the The new sawmill of the Mageau Lumber Co. Lumsden and his successors from 1903 to 1912, and later with the Abitibi Power & Paper Co. until assuming his present position. D. Thibert is the manager of the woods department and has been with the firm for the last eight years. J. U. Lamarre is vice-president of the organization and manager of the well-equipped general store which is run in connection with the business. The Mageau Lumber Co. is a well-managed and enterprising concern which in the last eleven years has rapidly come to the front. Its new mill is splendidly equipped and is laid out with a view to economical operation, rapid production and model arrangement. The Lumberjack is Always Shifting At a recent meeting of the International Association of Public Employment Services, held in Toronto, one of the questions dis- cussed was migratory labor. T. A. MacDonald, employment super- visor of the Abitibi Power & Paper Co., Iroquois Falls, touched upon the employment problem in the lumber industry and described the difficulties experienced in retaining help for any length of time in the northern districts of Ontario. The difficulty of providing accom- modation for families accounted for the reluctance of married men to stay in the industry, while the unattached men with a wandering penchant were hard to retain for any lengthy period. August was a difficult month to get men, as they were leaving then for the harvest fields. Last year, stated Mr. MacDonald, 2,900 new men were taken on by the company and 2,700 men left. Many of the men who left, however, returned the next year. For twenty-seven years Keenan Bros, Limited, of Owen Sound, Ont., have been producing and selling hardwood lumber and today are going stronger than ever with wider interests, increased output and enlarged market. It was in 1896 that James E. Keenan, who had spent some years in the bush, and had' a practical acquaintance with the industry, started in a small way in the progressive northern town. He was soon after joined by his brothers and the first under- taking was a water mill of limited capacity which they rented and stocked during the winter of 1896-7. This was run continuously until 1902 ‘when Keenan Bros. acquired the plant of the Goderich Lumber Co. who had bought out the Pickard & Rowan Co, some years previously. This was a circular mill and was removed to and operated as such in Owen Sound until 1912 when Keenan Bros. installed a 12-inch double cut band saw manufactured by the William Hamilton Co., Peterboro, and two years later put in a 10-inch hori- zontal band resaw manufactured by Clark Bros., Olean, N.Y. © Some time ago Keenan Bros. bought the Rixon-Ainslie plant which they acquired for the land alone and with no intention of removing their own mill. “However,” said Mr. Keenan, “we decided later that it was more advantageously situated, being in the centre of the property and that it had docks out in the water, making a good safe place for holding our logs. We decided that it would pay us to spend the-necessary money to make the change, abandoning our own mill and using this sawmill site.’ John C. Keenan who is associated with his brother, James E., the various enterprises in Owen Sound, ably looks after the Hates sales of the firm, shipments, etc. His voice is the one heard by the caller on the telephone and his signature appears generally on Wee Panoramic view of the sawmills and extensive lumber dealing with the lumber end of the business. John C. Keenan is well and widely known in the lumber arena‘and he is always active in the advancement of its welfare and development. Plant Overhauled and Improved The fact that Keenan Bros. can bring hardwood from the North shore to Owen Sound in safety, was one of the main reasons they decided to rebuild their mill, which work was. carried out during the past winter. The plant, which was overhauled and put in good shape, is now in operation. Power is supplied by two 6% x 16-foot boilers and two engines 16 and 20-in. stroke. The machinery con- sists of a double cut band mill and horizontal resaw, trimmers, edgers, slasher and all the other equipment that is cenerally found about a modern mill. There are both lath and shingle departments but these are not being used at the present time. In connection with the sawmill, no burners are employed. The sawdust is con- sumed in the boilers and all other refuse is kept for fuel for the other factories of the firm, or is sold as wood, The capacity of the mill is about 50,000 feet of hardwood each day of ten hours, or 75,- 000 feet of pine, and the average cutting season is from April till November. The townsite of Owen Sound, gradually sloping from the high- In Wood pra Activities- lands of Grey ‘County to the waters of Georgian Bay, has two riv the Sydenham and the Pottawatamie, flowing through it.

Keenan Bros. now have about 1,200 feet frontage, both and rail, with docks for loading by boat, if necessary. Each the firm cut from 3,000,000 to 4,000,000 feet of hardwood and 1,500,000 to 3,000,000 feet of pine, spruce and hemlock. Las: Keenan Bros took out about the usual stock of 3,000,000 feet hardwood. They operate one camp and sometimes two on the Nort shore, having been located on McGregor Island since IDLZE have bought other adjoining properties, besides smaller aa iti of hardwood scattered throughout the country, ‘ Wi oa Bringing Hardwood Logs By Barges : The firm also operate the Keenan Towing Co., Limited, with the tug “Keenan” and the barges “McGill” and “Dan Proctor.” Thi latter is a 1,500-ton barge, equipped with hoisting engines to sw booms which are 18 inches in diameter and 76 feet long. These barges are loaded with logs, ties and timber, and will carry sufficient material to produce about - 400,000 feet of lumber and can be unloac ed in less than ten hours. This method of bringing in logs to the mill has proven to be efficient, safe and economical and has put Owen Sound on the map as a milling centre for hardwood lumber lo after the adjacent territory has been stripped. The pine and softwood logs are floated in the customary way Dy being enclosed in booms and towed ‘by the tug “Keenan.” T ~ yards of Keenan Bros. Limited, at Owen Sound, Ont. company are now bringing hardwood logs Shor Memniterttigs and Sea Joe Island, on their boats to the extent of nearly one and one- hal million feet. The “Dan Proctor,” is consiaereel the finest wierceleines outfit on the great lakes, having since last fall lightered and freed two steam- _ ers that got on the rocks around Tobermory. The first one by tak-— ing with “her clam shells, a few hundred tons of wheat and putting it in her own hold and later when the steamer was released, putting — it back on ‘board. Last spring, on account of having nearly a full — load herself and time pressing, the boat was released by clamming — the coal and dropping it in the lake to the extent necessary to relieve - the vessel. . The Keenan Woodenware Mfg, Co., which is an allied industry, — manufactures tubs, pails, kegs, baskets, crates, veneer, etc., and last, but not least, tooth picks, and skewers, while the Eureka Refriger- — oe Co, Limited, another Keenan subsidiary, turns out grocers, “chers’ and household refrigerators, butchers’ (blocks, counters, ice’ cream cabinets, red cedar ‘chests, etc. The trade mark of - the latter is Kaybee, being the initial letters in the firm name of Keena: Bros.

Keenan ros. specialize in wood products from the stump to the finished article in the hands of the consumer. In reference to their output of lumber, Keenan Bros, who are wholesale lumber dealers as well as millmen, cover all Ontario in their operations, and in. normal years their ‘sawmill activities are only a minor part of their lumber business. % Develop Demand for Lower Ends e So far as the hardwood market is concerned, Mr. James E.

Heartened by this prospective change, the Que- ‘bee lumber operators and exporters anticipate a reaction for which they are preparing to participate in the year 1924. . The firm stand taken by the British Government to bring about an agreement on the reparation question, leaves no room for doubt that England’s attitude in this regard is backed by the world’s pub- lic opinion, including the United States and the possibility of the ‘United States lending its official influence to put an end to the economic war between France and Belgium with Germany, and the “menace of a European cataclysm to endanger the economic equili- ‘brium of the entire world. It is quite possible that before the sec- ond week of September will have expired that the government, in order to avert civil war which threatens Fatherland, will approach Premier Poincare, of France, with a proposition that will bring about negotiations for a settlement of the reparations difficulty on which the entire civilized world is interested and hope for an issue of success, F : Bc _ Ts Ending of Chaos in Sight? _ Taking into consideration these signs for a settlement of the _Franco-Belgium and German difficulties and the disappearance of the dark political clouds which have been hovering over Europe during and since the end of the war and the prospect of stability in the rates of exchange, have caused the business public to look to the ending of the chaos which has so upset and demoralized the com- mercial world for the past eight years. The end of the dockers’ strike on the Thames and the latest advices cabled by the United Kingdom agents of the Quebec lumber = interests, have added a feeling of encouragement that augurs well for the export shipment of Canadian wood to the United Kingdom market in 1924. In the meantime the Quebec limit holders have not up to the _ present made an estimate of the logs they intend cutting in the woods this coming winter. Discussing the question with several of the Quebec lumber operators the correspondent of the “Canada Lumber- _man” was informed that they had come to no conclusion as yet. Nor had they drawn up any estinrates of the logging to be carried on in ‘the woods for 1924 export to the United Kingdom. While they feel assured of the efforts being but forward by the British Govern- ment to end the Rhur situation and the political difficulties in gen- ral in Europe, they fear that the scarcity of labor for logging in the woods this winter, will cause such a demand for increase of _ wages as to compel them to curtail the cutting for shipment to the British market. _Besides the demand for manufactured lumber from the United States market in which the Canadian mills are deeply interested, still continues and with every prospect of being main- ed throughout 1924. ; : Survey of Probable Conditions ‘One of the most astute ‘business experts in the Quebec district, ing requested to give his opinion on the situation said:—‘‘It is be carried on in the Quebec woods this coming winter, I may say, my * - too early as yet to give a forecast as to the logging that will oc al ALE sie ieee \ High Honor for Thomas A.

Great success has been piling, attained in an effective, eco- nomical and quantity piling of lumber particularly hardwoods through the installation of in- dustrial locomotive cranes. Plenty of air space and nar- row piles and complete elimina- tion of rotting stack bottoms contribute materially to a well cared for stock. has every opportunity to dry thoroughly and flat and there is no guess-work about the pro- duct or a sense of indifference or neglect. No loose sticks or stray boards are scattered around. Everything is neat and attractive and the visitor to any retail, mill or factory yard is impressed with the well-kept, uniform stacks of lumber and long, regular alleys free from weeds or litter. The founda- tions are even and firm, the piles straight and erect and the surroundings pleasing and in- viting, So far as the modern hand- ling of hardwood lumber is con- cerned, one of the most pro- gressive firms in this line is the Voth Hardwood Co., of Voth, Texas, which is a subsidiary of the Kirby-Bonner Lumber Co., of Houston, Texas. Their mill has a capacity of 100,000 feet a day and it is interesting to de- scribe how the lumber is handl- ed through the installation ot three industrial loco- motive cranes. - Arthur M. Bowen, manager of the Hardwood Sales De- partment, in a recent letter to the “Can- ada ‘{Lumberman,” relating to the sys- tem, says,—‘“It is rather difficult to outline its operation showing the system which the company uses in handling lumber with indus- trial cranes. The company are operat- ing at present three E. A. standard. in- dustrial oil-burning locomotive cranes and are handling to ‘and from the yard approximately 5,000,- 000 feet of lumber - per- month.” The company state that their experience The lumber: This means Yard alley showing lumber stacks neatly built up on special foundations and how each pile is erected by means of unit packages An industrial crane delivering unit packages of lumber in yard has been very satisfactory and owing to the size of their operation, they do not believe they could have handled the lumber as efficiently under any other system as by means of industrial cranes. The lumber, after it is properly segregated and stacked on the stacking platform into packages four feet wide by six feet high, is handled in these packages which contain approximately 1,300 feet each. Each locomo- tive crane is equipped with a short flatecar coupled in front, and another one in the rear, upon which these packages are placed, enabling them to carry at one trip from the mill to the yard, or vice versa, four pack- ages to the car, or a total of 10,400 feet of lumber at one trip. These machines operate on a geared turn-table, enabling them to turn completely around if necessary, and they are also geared to the driving trucks, moving from the mill to the yard, or from place to place under their own power. The company have been handling in the neighborhood of five mil- lion feet per month with these cranes, with a crew to each crane of three men—the opera- tor and two laborers. From the mill the lumber passes to a double-deck sorting table two hundred feet long, the sixteen foot lengths passing over the upper deck, the shorter stock going to the lower deck. On the sorting table the lum- ber is separated, each kind, erade, length and thickness go- ing into a separate package of uniform width and height. The packages are picked up by an “Industrial -Works” eighteen ton, speci- ally built locomo- tive crane and load- ed on flat cars set fore and aft of the crane, each flat car carrying seven pack- ages. Each pack- age rests on two pieces of three by three oak, about six inches longer than the width of the package. These bearings fit into stir- rups on the crane chains. Packages from the upper deck are picked up direct, while those from the lower deck are run out on to a transfer Car. The crane con- veys these bulk pack- ages to the stacking 138 platform which is provided with fifteen separate trackways. Six of these are built with a slight incline toward the stacking table at the rear. The crane places the bulk packages on short dry kiln trucks. These packages are run to the stacking table as required, and the empty trucks returned to the front. There are six stacking tables, two under each shed, which are so arranged that the stacked lumber may go tothe dry kilns or to the yard for air drying as desired. Two men work at each stacking table. Uniform stacking has long been desired and under the arrange- ments at the Voth plant it comes very near realization. A gate that can be raised or lowered to fit the height of the stack, carries slots spaced on two foot centres for the placing of the sticks, each gate carrying two sets of slots, one perpendicular for kiln stacking, the other slightly inclined for yard stacking. Eight foot stock is stack- ed with the sixteen-foot, and six foot with the twelve foot, with a doubling of sticks occurring at the centre of each stack, so as to leave Making solid foundations with concrete and steel rail stringers no loose ends. Each stack rests on two pieces of three by three oak, and these in turn rest on short dry kiln trucks. Each stack or pack- age is exactly four feet wide, and contains thirty-three layers of inch boards for the yard stock, or forty-eight layers when stacked for the kilns, and is an absolutely perpendicular stack for the kilns, or with a “lead” for the yard. A single cover of No. 3 boards is placed on each package of No. 2 and better. The sticks in the slots eliminate guess work and the sticks are always in a uniform line. Stacked packages are built on tracks having a slight incline toward the main yard line. How the Packages are Handled When a package has been stacked it goes to the transfer car, if for the kilns, which transfer is made direct without any crane lift. If the package is for the yard it is rolled back to the track end of the platform, where it is again picked up by the crane and transfered to flat cars. So far only two bearings have been found necessary for inch lumber, and there has been no trouble about sticks dropping out even with sixteen foot stock. When the two flat cars have been loaded, the crane proceeds to the yard with its cars, travelling under its own power at the rate Yarmouth Woodworking Industry is Busy One of the oldest firms in the forest products line in the Mari- time Provinces is the Canadian Wood Working Co., Limited, of Yarmouth, N. S. The business was established as early as 1855 and incorporated in 1902. The industry covers over three acres and the location is an ideal one on the waterfront. Excellent transportation facilities are enjoyed by means of the company’s wharf and railway siding. On the property is located a six-storey factory with base- ment 60 x 100 feet, another building 50 x 100 feet, with a wing 40 x 60 feet, a planing mill ahd cooperage, the whole embracing a floor space of 55,000 feet. About 100 persons are employed with an annual payroll of $50,000. The output, viz., 40,000,000 feet is sold in the ' Eastern provinces, Ontario and the British West Indies. The Canadian Wood Working Co.,, manufacture oak and birch flooring, doors, sash, moulding, boxes and box shooks, light and dark cooperage and other woodworking products as well as church and school furniture, bank and’ office and store fixtures. L. K. Lani- gan, who has had a wide experience in the lumber and manufacturing line, is the aggressive general manager. of the company which is very busy at the present time. There are two present day needs; one, for rich men to learn how poor men live; two, for poor men to know how rich men work.

When a package rests on anothe the yard two pieces ten feet long are used fore and aft, as a tie b. for two stacks.

In shipping from the yard this process is m reversed, the crane handling each package as before, and conv it to the shipping dock, where the inspector takes charge, putt the coverings and sticks into racks which the crane later rett to the stacking platform. The shipping dock has a capacity o freight cars under roof and has ample space for storing lumber fo: above or below grade. $ er * Way the yard is Laid Out The yard has streets thirty-five feet wide with a standard gauge track laid with 60- pound rail, extending down the centre of e; ch street. While it may detract from the symmetry of the yard, been found advisable to place stacks with their “tails” toward ~ street. Alleyways ten feet wide separate the stacks at the rear, allowing plenty of air space. The streets and alleys are north and south, with the stacks placed east and west giving the prevaili south winds free access between the layers. The stack bottoms are so built that there is also an abundance of free air space under the stacks. ie ey The general plan and construction of the yard is of particul interest. There will be no stray odds and ends at any time about the yard and at no time will there be more than four men at work on the yard, and these men consist of the locomotive crane crew. The foundations are all off concrete, and the stringers are steel rails cut to sixteen-foot lengths and embedded in the concréte base. Each pair of foundations measures ten feet in width, accommodatin two four-foot stacks with two feet of air space between. The ow side blocks of each foundation are single, twelve by fifteen inch top while the inside ones are double, fifteen by thirty-six inch tops, an carry the two outside rails of the two stacks. Four feet of space is” allowed between each set of foundations. ‘The rear block is sixteen — inches above the ground and the front block thirty-two inches high, conforming to the standard pitch of one inch to the foot. = During the time this yard was building many operators both pine and hardwood, who visited the plant, voiced some doubt as to © the ability of the crane crew of four men to stack the product of — such a large mill, and send in sufficient quantity of stock to the load-_ ing platform, but it has been demonstrated by actual experience that — the plan is a feasible one, and it works admirably in every particular. — Experiments already conducted to ascertain the drying proper- — ties of the yard and yard arrangements have proven that the plans of those designing the yard have not miscarried. aghetepes. Industrial lomomotive cranes are built by the Industrial Works, — of Bay City, Mich., and operated by steam, gasoline or electricity for — yard service, construction and many other purposes. The cranes — have a capacity ranging from 5 to 60 tons, with suitable booms vary- ing from 40 to 140 feet in length. ; BR. iss Bushmen Are in Active Demand ; There is a heavy demand for bushmen, according to the Gov- — ernment Labor Bureau in Montreal. The big lumber companies — have been engaging men for the bush and the prospects are that the ~ demand will be sufficient to make fall and winter conditions good. Wages paid this year by the lumber companies are higher than last year, the rates paid being $40, and $45 per month, whereas a | year ago-the schedule was down to $26 a month. Wages include — board and lodging, and this year the companies are also engaging to _ which means until next spring. The increase in wages is looke upon as a sign of a heavy cut this year, and a recognition that tl unemployment situation has improved considerably as compared t last year. Bushmen wages are taken to be a good indication of th general labor situation. During the war, when newsprint prices wer high, wages went to $60 and $65 a month, and even to $75, in so: cases, while the very experienced men who were given piece wo made $80 and $90. It is quite possible, according to indications a labor employment offices that there will be a shortage of labor thi year, both as to bushmen and men for railway construction.

As Fatih all a t ioe ee , ae __ Though the aborescent flora of Canada includes approximately 160 species of hardwoods and only 31 conifers or softwoods, 80% of standing timber and 95% of the lumber and pulpwood produced, oniferous. Of the hardwoods there are only about 50 species, ch attain saw-timber size, and less than one half of these: are zed to any great extent in the forest industries. The conifers > represented by ten genera but the species of the genera Taxus and Juniperus, occurring in Canada are small and of little value. The following is a list of the coniferous species of commercial importance. Eastern Species—White Pine, Red Pine, Jack Pine, White Spruce, Red Spruce, Black Spruce, Hemlock, White Cedar, Tama- rack, Balsam Fir. Western Species—Western White Pine, Western Yellow Pine, Lodgepole Pine, Sitka Spruce, Engelmann Spruce, Douglas Fir, Western Hemlock, Western Red Cedar, Western Larch, Alpine Fir, Lowland Fir, Amabilis Fir, Yellow Cypress. _ Though the term “softwoods” is generally accepted as including all coniferous species and “hardwoods” the other species which are generally deciduous, these terms are not entirely accurate as far as some of our Canadian woods are concerned. For instance the wood of larch and Douglas fir are harder than poplar, basswood, black ash _and several other species classified as hardwoods. However, as long as it is understood that all the conifers are considered “softwoods” and all other species “hardwoods” the terms may be used without misunderstanding. ee oF Too Little Data on Forests : For ‘a large proportion of the forest area of Canada, there is very little reliable information regarding the nature and extent of the forest resources. A knowledge of the amount and location of the _ remaining stands of mature timber and of the extent and character of the young growth from which future supplies may be expected, is essential as a basis for federal or provincial forest policies and for the permanent development of the industries dependent on the forests. % Comprehensive surveys of the forests have been completed only Pior erases of Nova Scotia and British Columbia. Reports of these surveys have been published by the Commission of Con- servation. An inventory of the forest resources of Ontario com- _menced by that Commission is being completed by the Forestry _ Branch of the Department of the Interior, in co-operation with the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests. The Dominion For- estry Branch has examined extensive areas of forest land in the three Prairie Provinces but the information is still incomplete as to the total resources of these Provinces. For several years the New Brunswick Forest service has been engaged in making a thorough supplies. ‘Roland D. Craig, Ottawa, Ont. D. Craig.

E., Ottawa survey of the Crown Lands of that Province and about 60% of these lands have been covered, Aut for 40% of the Crown Lands and the greater part of the Private lands, little definite information is avail- able. The Quebec Forest Service is also collecting data as to the forests under its control, but as yet, only a relatively small portion of the forest area of the Province has been reported on. Forest Area of the Dominion Of the total area of Canada, 3,729,665 square miles, a large pro- portion is covered by the numerous lakes and rivers, leaving a land area of approximately 3,600,000 square miles. About 12% (431,700 square miles) is considered to be of agricultural value, but in 1921, less than 1% of the area or only 93,180 square miles, was under field crops. ‘There is estimated to be about 1,195,925 square miles of forest land in the Dominion, on 456,800 square miles of which, there ‘is timber of merchantable size, suitable for pulpwood or other com- mercial uses, but only 240,000 square miles is the timber of saw- material size. On 60 to 65% of the forest land, the timber of com- mercial size has been destroyed by cutting or fire—chiefly fire. Natural regeneration has beert effected on a considerable proportion of the logged-over and burned-over lands, but on thousands of square miles repeated fires have so reduced the recuperative powers of the forest, that only sparse and inferior stands can be secured by natural agencies. . From the information available which is frequently incomplete or conflicting, it is possible only to estimate in a broad way, the probable amount of timber in the Dominion. The figures given in the accompanying tables are, therefore, subject to revision when more definite knowledge is obtained. TABLE I.

Owing to the time required to grow a forest crop, provision must be made now for future After a careful study of the situation I am of the opinion that there will be a period when the supply of accessible mature timber in east- ern Canada will not meet the demand and the resources of British Columbia will have to be drawn on to an even greater extent than they are at present. The situation is not without hope, however, for there is a steadily increasing appreciation on the part of the citizens of Canada of the value of the forests in the industrial development of the country, and when sufficient public sup- port is secured to prevent forest fires and to regulate the cutting with the production of future crops in view, we have the lands and the climate to grow the timber which will support an immense forest industry and provide a great and dependable source of wealth to the people of Canada.—Roland ae dl ee TS OS ean arian cee eee ore ne, ny ae ; LUMBERMAN "5-0 7 oem 140 CANADA er eth ge 215 us pF!

In the absence of any pulp industry in the Baan ee sicoal it is difficult to express as to the proportion of the timber whicn could be used for this purpose. The development of a pulp indus- try is dependent on other factors than a supply of timber and the transportation charges on rail shipments of pulpwood to existing manufacturing centres would preclude the immediate use of much of the timber for pulp which could be profitably utilized in local mills. Most of the timber in these provinces is of species which can be used in the manufacture of pulp, and there are undoubtedly larg amounts which may be available for this. DEEPERS when va is provided for the wood. 9 ei The supply of easily accessible timber, sepderalle ae the inode valuable species, such as white pine, is rapidly diminishing, and_ each year the lumbermen are forced to go back farther from trans- portation, to operate lighter or more difficult stands, and to. take out | lower grades of material. fs Ce a Ao a+ ae is available. =i The amount of timber utilized represents only a portion of the drain on the forest resources of the country. Fire, insects, fungi, wind and wasteful operations result in the destruction of several times the amount of timber annually used by the industries. A Fire and Insects Work Havoc ‘Though of late years with the development of more efficient fire protective organizations, more complete information has been secured ‘as to the damage done by fire, the records are still incomplete but for the years 1918-1922, and it is estimated that, at least, 790,000,000 ‘cubic feet of merchantable timber has been destroyed annually by fire. Most of this was coniferous. | . The loss due to insects is much greater than has been generally realized. -During the last ten years the spruce budworm has destroyed, at least, 100 million cords of pulpwood in Quebec, and 15 million cords in New Brunswick. This would be sufficient to provide for the present annual cut of pulpwood in the whole Dominion for a period of 29 years. The larch saw-fly 30 to 40 years ago killed practically all the larch or tamarack from the Atlantic coast to the Rocky Mountains. Just how much of this valuable timber there was, is not known, but it was probably not less than 30 million feet, board measure. Of the other numerous insect enemies of the forest, various species of bark beetles and borers are perhaps the most destructive, and are annually inflicting serious loss to our forest Bresources.’> | ry Loss from Fungi—Exploitation Waste & That the loss due to fungi is serious, is apparent to everyone who handles forest products. The butt rot in balsam and other forms of rot which attacks the trunks of trees or nearly every species, not only causes the destruction of countless trees but reduces the quality of the products. The white pine blister rust, a disease imported from Europe, is doing a great deal of damage in the United States, and promises to become a serious menace to our pineries, especially the young stands. It is already thoroughly established in the coastal region in British Columbia, and though it has not yet been found on the pines in the northern part of Ontario and Quebec, there is danger of a serious infection at any time. It is becoming recognized that fungi are perhaps as destructive as either fire or _ insects. Another source of loss is the waste in operation. Frequently up 0 25% of the stand is left in the woods in logging operations to become a prey to the almost inevitable fire or to be windthrown. In the manufacture of lumber a further loss of from 30 to 40% of the wood content of the logs occurs. One of the most prominent fea- tures of a sawmill in America is the refuse burner. Satie Time Supplies Will Last in Canada In estimating the time our timber supplies will last; one must isider not only the capital stock but the present consumption and -as has been the usual practice. Accessibility, growth and future kets are important factors. It must be pointed out too, that it is ite probable that our estimates of mature timber may be reduced ven a careful inventory is completed. There is a very consider- amount of timber for which, as far as we can see, there is little ce of operating profitably in the near future. The virgin timber hin the reach of the established industries is certainly rapidly ming depleted, as evidenced by the long drives, sometimes ying even two and three years, and the constantly increased woods’ operations. The situation has led several of the pulp me ‘i i. | ce bi . a Go TN a a CANADA LU MBERMAN ee ol n=, tal ">= oo 141 — It is with great diffidence that I venture to make a statement of our resources in softwood timber. So little is known of a vast extent of the timber land, or for that matter of the timber at the doors of the industries, that at best I can give only an estimate based on a compilation of information supplied by the various forest authorities, lumbermen and others who have specific information concerning certain portions of the Dominion. It must be admitted at the outset, that the estimates are based on scant and often conflicting data, but believing that it is in the interest of forestry, not only in Canada but in the Empire, to crystalize the vague generalities in which we have indulged, into concrete figures, I offer the results of my compilations, reserving the right to amend the figures when more accurate information I may say that it is very difficult to convert our factors of measurment into cubic feet, especially since the used volume is often very little indication of actual volume of standing timber, but I have used for the most part the conversion factors used in the United States, which were based on considerable study. These will be found on Page 37, in the “Forests of Canada”. 4 Roland D. Craig’ Ottawa companies to undertake reforestation measures. To an industry entailing large capital expenditure such as the pulp and paper indus- try, the maintenance of appurtenant supplies of timber is of para- mount importance. To offset the annual drain of our forests, there is the natural growth. There is very little information regarding the rate of growth of the different species under the varying conditions of the forest, and this can be determined only by intensive research. How- ever, since there is no increment in mature virgin stands and the cut over and burned-over areas have been treated in such a careless manner, it is extremely doubtful that the growth throughout Canada is keeping pace with the annual depletion. Increasing Demand for Forest Products There is every indication that the demand for our forest products will increase more rapidly in the future than in the past. With the increase in population our home markets will demand more wood. The forestry situation in the United States indicates that there will be constantly increasing demand from that country. The original forest area of 822 million acres has been reduced to 463 mil- lion acres of which only 137 million acres carries virgin timber. This is being cut at the rate of 5.5 million acres per year, so that, exclu- sive of growth, there is 25 years supply in sight. The standing timber is being cut at the rate of 26 billion cubic feet per year, which is more than four times the estimated annual growth, and the timber of saw-material size is being cut at the rate of 56 billion feet, board measure, per year and the growth of such material is estimated to be 9.5 billion board feet per annum. From a great exporter of forest products, the United States has become a large importer. Already Canada supplies in the form of pulpwood, pulp or paper, two thirds of the newsprint used in the United States. Our exports of wood, wood products and paper to the United States in 1922 were valued at over $175,000,000. With a constant increase in population and decrease in supplies of timber, the United States will provide an expanding and profitable market for the products of our forest which we should be in a posi- tion to take advantage of. Canada is the principal source of coniferous timber in the British Empire, and with the growth of trade within the Empire, our for- ests will undoubtedly play an important part. In the Orient, South America.and South Africa, important markets for Canadian woods are being developed. Vast Area for Reproductive Purposes There is in Canada a vast area, over six hundred million acres, which though of little or no agricultural value, is capable of growing excellent stands of softwood timber. If the forests on this land were maintained in a productive condition and effective protection from fire provided for the young growth, as well as the mature timber, it would be possible with the most rudimentary silvicultural management to produce in perpetuity three or four times the present annual cut. Under the existing conditions, however, it is doubtful if any material increase in the forest industries is justified, at least until more of the young, second growth has reached maturity. ‘Though there are portions of the Dominion where the forests have not been extensively exploited in which increased utilization is desir- able, in the older districts where operations have been conducted for some time, the scarcity of mature timber is already felt, and in many places where the forests have supported thriving industries, pro- duction has already had to be curtailed or entirely suspended as a result of not providing for a balance between growth and use. a SOUS OS Ca ae ae ee, ae ey eet ee CANADA LUMBERMAN.: ~ ) 70k Canada Has Not Only the Moral Right But it 4 is Her Bounden Duty to Place an Embargo on Export of Her Raw Materials — By Fred. Brown, Fort Frances, Ont. Judging from recent articles in the press during the past few weeks the pulp and paper interests of the United States are greatly disturbed over the proposed embargo on raw pulpwood. In true characteristic fashion the representatives of the so-called vested rights are trying to deny to the Canadian people the rights to protect their remaining for- York, New England, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois. Having accomplished the. unblievable in a comparativély short time, and perpetuation of the forest wealth as dogmatic, unpracticable and idi- otic, the operators of pulp and paper mills in these States are attempting to deny to Canada the right to deal with its natural resources as the people of Canada see fit. t Prompted by the principle, that it is better to destroy our neighbors’ forests than to go to the rather heavy expense of reforestation, protec- tion and cutting for a sustained annual yield; the charge is made in the Fred. Brown, Fort Frances, Ont. press that Canada is prepared to put an embargo on pulpwood solely for the purpose of giving Canadian labor the wages now earned by the workers in the United States. This is one of these half truths that are more dangerous than a deliberate falsehood. No doubt in the world, Canada has not only the moral right but it is her bounden duty to protect for her sons and ~ daughters to the fullest extent of her ability the raw materials which, by their conversion, furnish them — with a livelihood. Canada, in order to keep her working men and the influx of population, must keep her forsets green and productive. . First, now and always first is the consideration of the nation’s common weal. Surely, the expon- ents of the vested rights cannot have the cheek to tell the people of Canada that they must let go on unresticted the destruction of her forests, just because Northern States, Eastern States, and New England did not heed the warnings of such eminent and patriotic citizens as Dr. Fernow, Gifford Pin- chot, Dr. Reeknagel, et al, and made ducks. and drakes out of the forestal patrimony. Would any of these operators on Canadian soil undertake to regulate cuttings on a 110 year rota-. tion? Would any one of these operators agree to a cutting policy of annual sustained yield? No—they would not; they would argue that the cost of cutting for an annual sustained yield would be prohibit- ive. They would insist that conservative forestry is not essential, they would try to convince us by all the wiles of rhetoric that our pulpwood supply is unlimited, and that they have as good a right to it as the people of Canada. They would go and rob the country by wasteful logging methods of millions ests to the best interest of the present and coming generation. Having — started out and acted on the principle that the public must get rid of its” holdings as soon as possible, the Kastern and Northern States are admit- — tedly very short on pulpwood and saw logs; especially is this true of New and having descried the honest efforts of conservationists for protection — of dollars, leaving in the woods material that could be used if Canadian pulpwood would be manufac- tured at home—not mentioning the fire hazard and the debris left. An embargo on Canadian pulpwood will be one of the greatest blessings in disguise for those States affected. As long as pulpwood can be bought cheaper than it can be grown at home, none will be grown. This much is proven by the fact that the area in the United States where trees once grew, but which is barren to-day, is greater than the combined lands of Belgium, France, Holland, Germany, Switzer- land, Portugal and Spain. oe ; | An embargo will have the effect that planting and conservative Forestry will be speeded up tre- mendously all over the United States. For Canada the embargo on pulpwood is not a question of retaliation for the Fordney-McCumber Tariff. It is simply and purely a measure of protecting the national life. For this reason alone it would be better if the forests would be owned by the common weal, and the Dominion would be better fitted for the practice of forestry than the provinces. os The advocated retaliation on the import of coal and other necessities are to all thinking Canadian nursery stories. The United States have coal for sale and-are in the market to sell. Canada’s pulpwood is to all practical purposes exhausted. Should the United States retaliate with an embargo on coal, Canada can produce her own coal and develop an industry which has up to now received more or less the treatment of a stepchild. Would it not be to the interests of the American investor to have these Canadian mines working full time and to have them fully developed? | | an 3 a _ soinials Ap Ree ne? | > ' CANADA LUMBERMAN What Factory Equipment Should Retail Lumber Dealer Install ? I put this question to a number of retailers recently, and find that most of them consider it necessary to have some machinery. How much it is advisable to install depends almost entirely on the location of the yard. In the smaller communities the situation is much different from larger cities. Retailers in cities are usually able to have their ma- chine work done at mills close by their yards at charges that _ they would be unable to reduce by undertaking themselves. On the other hand, some retailers located in the suburbs feel that it is essential for them to have some equipment in order that they can do their own work. Let one of these speak for himself: “I am starting up in a new district which is growing rapidly, and feel that I could not conduct my business as profitably as I do now if I had no machinery. When a customer comes to my yard with a bill of material and I am able to give him an immediate figure on his entire bill and assure him that he can secure prompt delivery he feels at once that there is no need for him to go further. Were I able to quote him only on the rough lumber he would in all probability take his rough lum- ber order to the same place as his finished stuff. True, I can buy finished material in a wide assortment, but I cannot buy in car lots, each kind of trim as some of the larger yards do, and*even if I take advantage of the service rendered by some of the large wholesalers to buy a car of assorted trim, (which I frequently do), I may run out of one particular item. That means sending my customer somewhere else for that item, or obtaining it for him. I cannot always wait for the arrival of another car, and I may not be in a position to buy another car, being stocked up sufficiently on everything but that one item. “That is why I find it profitable to have machinery. At least, I should say that is partly where the profit lies. I also find that I can frequently buy No. 1 and 2 mill culls from firms, that experience has shown me give me a good grade, in which there is considerable clear stuff that can be worked up on a moulder into profitable selling stock. I often find that there is as high as forty per cent. clear stock in the No. l’s. I am able to rip good clear stock from the edges for mouldings, and there is a lot of it suitable for door jambs, ele, Wherein the Moulder is Handy “T buy all my dimension, sheathing and flooring already run. I also buy Georgia pine and chestnut trim, but for my class of trade I have to be careful not to understock on these ‘items. By having a moulder I never have to turn a cus- tomer away, because if I happen to be without what he wants along these lines I can make it for him. “My trade calls for a lot of fir trim, but while I buy this material ready run I am always careful to have a few thous- and feet of rough fir on hand to run any material I may be out of. In short, I would not be without a moulder. I may be losing money on the actual running of my stock, but I am Satisfied that, by having it, I am getting a much greater volume of business then I would be without it and, therefore, _ making money on the extra volume. “I would like to add that I was successful in getting hold of a first class moulder hand, one who has had exper- ience in some of the big mills, but who prefers to work in a smaller shop. I just have two machines, a moulder and a power feed saw, which are operated by a twenty h.p. motor, but I plan to add one or two other machines as I see I can use them to advantage. At present I haven’t any definite idea which machines these will be.” The equipment just discussed by this retailer may not constitute a factory in the generally accepted sense of the word, but I consider his comments well worth recording. He has had many years’ experience operating yards for other men and is now working up a business for himself. He By WM. ALEXANDER studies his trade closely, and is developing an outfit to suit that trade. His judgment is worth paying attention to, and many readers of this paper may be catering to a similar class of trade. . A retailer located in a town some distance from Toronto has a plant equipped with a twelve inch moulder, power feed rip saw, surface planer, six inch moulder, jointer and cut-off saw. He has no opposition in the town itself, but there are well equipped plants in places a few miles distant. These firms encroach on his trade to a considerable extent, which makes it absolutely necessary for him to maintain a planer Asked if his plant paid him he replied that he had never looked at it in just that light, because he figured that if he did not have a plant he would not be able to stay in business. He receives numerous requests to figure on jobs consisting almost entirely on detail stock. Plainly, if he did not have the necessary equipment to handle this class of work he would only get the leavings, which would not be sufficient to provide a living. His trade in stock finish is not heavy enough to warrant him buying in other than mixed car lots. He also finds himself occasionally out of one or two particu- lar items, with the demand not great enough to buy a car. By having machinery he is able to manufacture the stock called for and give prompt delivery. No Customer Wiants Two Accounts Several other retailers in towns served by two yards stated that they were forced into installing a plant because their opposition had one. If a bill of material was submitted to them they could not pick out the items they wanted to supply and let the customer go elsewhere for the rest. A customer would not want to maintain two accounts, and be- sides he could not expect to get the same service by dividing the material for a job between two yards. The two yards I have in mind both have about the same equipment, with one difference that I will deal with shortly, a moulder, twelve inch machine, for large stock, six inch for small mouldings which cannot be run to advantage on the big machine, power feed rip saw, surface planer, bandsaw, hollow chisel mortiser, variety saw table, tenoner, sash and door clamp and turning lathe. The difference that I spoke of is a big matcher, and the firm that have it are seriously considering getting rid of it. In its place they contemplate installing a*sander. They are undecided whether a drum sander or a belt sander would best serve their purpose and _have talked of putting in both. One machine they both have that I omitted to mention is an elbow sander for sash. Whether it is profitable to bother with sash or not 1s a question that has troubled a good many retailers. Prac- tically all admit that there is no money in them, and one re- tailer, whom I questioned on the subject, stated that he had got rid of his sash machines. Others, again, say that for all the additional machinery it requires to make sash it is just as well to keep it if you already have it. There are times, they say, when the customer cannot be induced to accept stock sizes and a delay might cause the buyer to take his requirements elsewhere if the yard could not furnish them promptly. Special sizes can be secured from the large mills, but it takes a few days to get them. Favors Buying of Sash Outside Those who are not in favor of making sash at all state, on the other hand, that if the order for sash is placed along with the other stuff that even special sizes can be obtained before the building has advanced to the stage where it is ne- cessary to fit the sash. This sounds like a very logical argu- ment. After weighing all the evidence for and against I would be reluctant to advise any retailer to bother with sash equipment. The big firms catering to this business are equip- ped to handle it in a manner that should make it unnecessary ie CANADA LUMBERMAN Oe tor any retailer to add to his worries by attempting to make his own. If you are buying sash you know what they are costing you, which is something the retailer making his own in a small way cannot always be sure of. There is another angle of the manufacturing end of the retail lumber business that I came across recently. A re- tailer in a town where the opposition had a mill, found he was up against it, and being steadfastly opposed to putting in machinery, got around it in an interesting manner. His reason for not wanting to put in machinery was that he did not know anything about it himself and didn’t want to have to depend on hired help when he was in a position to know whether they were putting it over on him. There was a com- petent mechanic living in the town, and the retailer induced him to open up a small shop, furnishing some financial assis- tance. He pays for having his work done, but is a share- holder in the shop enterprise. He says he does not antici- pate any large dividends, but feels that if the shop is soaking him for doing his work he will get some of it back in profits. In this way he has no responsibility on the machinery end of the business, and is fairly well safeguarded against over- charging. This seems like rather a good arrangement for the retailer, more so than for the mechanic, but it is the re- tailer we are considering. Local Conditions Must Govern Decision His own particular trade must govern any retailer’s decision on the question of operating a plant. He must take into consideration where he is located and whether he can get his machine work done efficiently and economically in the vicinity of his yard. The point I want to make will no doubt be clear. Avoid putting in a plant if you can. If you can have the work done for you at a reasonable price and can get satisfactory service, why invest your money in a plant? But if conditions are such that you must put in machinery to conduct your business profitably, the informa- tion regard.ng what others are doing will no doubt be of some help to you. Figures of savings in one plant, if such were available, would rarely be of use to any other retailer, and would more than likely be misleading. While I have suggested keeping away from the installa- tion of machinery if possible it is only an odd retail yard that is so fortunately situated that it is able to do this. The size of the outfit to be put in, then, will depend on the volume of business done and the requirements of your cus- tomers. A power feed rip saw is the most essential machine. It is difficult to get along without one of these because the amount of sizing there is to be done in any yard, is sufficient to justify the installation of one; at least, that has been the experience of every yard that I am acquainted with. New yards starting up are only operating a short ‘time before they decide they cannot get along without a saw. The next essential, if other machines must be added, is. a moulder. It is generally agreed that a twelve inch machine is the best suited to the requirements of a retail yard. This machine will make all kinds of mouldings, and will dress stock four sides by putting straight knives on the heads. Some firms get away without putting in a surface planer by doing their surfacing on a moulder, using only one head if the stock has only to be dressed on one side. It will nearly always be found, however, that a planer is worth while having. If a moulder is set up for mouldings it is quite a job to take off the knives and put on straight ones for sur- facing, whereas a planer is always ready to dress any boards that may be required. If only two or three boards, or one as often happens, are to be dressed it would not pay to bother trying to do it on a moulder. The Rip Saw, Moulder and Planer These three are the really essential machines. Some- times the moulder can be dispensed with if the demand is all for stock patterns, which can be bought more cheaply, as a rule, from one of the large firms specializing in that class of stock. If a planer and saw are installed, however, it is just as well to have a moulder. The average retail yard has not enough work to keep a machine hand on those two machines and he might as well be earning some money by Aa Se -on the amount of bandsawing to be done. ~ work he proposes to tackle. certainly SE Dae «ay 2d K utilizing some of the low grade stock, as mentioned at the © beginning of this article, for items that will fetch a higher rice. . . a A cut-off saw of some kind is almost an essential. There ~ are three types in use, the swing saw, familiar to all, the — lightning cut-off saw, which is a table saw on which the saw — is brought forward by the operator’s foot, and the roller table _ cut-off saw which, as its name implies, is a machine having a table operating on rollers. Part of the table is stationary, — and the other part rolls. The stock is laid on the roller table — and the table pushed forward past the saw. This is a very handy machine, in some respects preferable to the swing saw. However, the swing saw will be found to fill the bill, and it is cheaper. . ate Whether a bandsaw should be added or not must depend © eS 5 rede A jointer, or buzz planer as some choose to call it, is © handy around a shop if it is desired to straighten the edge of — a board or to take the wind out of one before putting it through the surfacer.

For the ordinary retail yard catering to the building trade I think this machine would stand idle most of the time. = = == A variety saw table for ripping and crosscutting will be necessary if it is proposed to make frames, and do other general jobbing work. This is another case where the class of work to be done must be the deciding factor, Believes Electric Power is Best cheer This outfit of machinery will be about all that the retail yard will require, unless there is enough small mouldings to be made to justify the installation of a six inch moulder. I think this can be done without though. If anything more elaborate is desired in the way of a plant than this it will be for a large factory, and anyone going in for a large factory will have his own ideas based on expert knowledge of the On the question of power I think the retailer would be well advised to stick to electric power. A boiler and engine, which is sometimes suggested on account of the fuel likely to be available from shavings and cuttings, involves consider- ably more of an initial expenditure than motors. A much ~ more substantial building is required, and the expense of a ss || fireman and engineer would, I think, more than offset any =| __ saving. Ate eae One suggestion I would like to offer if motors are to be installed, is to construct a shavings bin a few feet distant from the factory and at wagon height from the ground so ~ that shavings can be carted away easily. I have seen this — idea in several yards and it appears to be a good one. The wagon is backed up to the bin and the shavings loaded into the wagon by means of a chute. Usually it is not a difficult matter to find plenty of persons willing to take the shavings. In most places they get them for the hauling. pee The shavings are carried to the bin by the blower sys- — tem. It is always advisable to install this equipment as it © keeps a plant much cleaner, permitting men to work to — better advantage, and it greatly reduces the fire hazard. y " an. Furthest North Sawmill is Run by Police A portable sawmill is operated by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police at Aklavik, on the delta of the Mackenzie river; It was purchased primarily with the intention ot squaring logs for new police posts in the Arctic, but lumber is also cut, and if the guardians of the North were to fill all the orders received, every Eskimo along the Arctic coast 3 would be possible customers, and they would not object if = | fifty per cent. was waney or “thirds.” oy, The mill is run by Sergeant Anderton, who prior to e joining the force, was a millwright in civil life. Logs are | procured in the delta country, but owing to the fact that these are wind twisted, further supplies will come from the Peel river, one hundred miles distant. yet aaa Though far beyond the Arctic circle the spruce here runs well up to fourteen logs to the thousand, and makes excellent lumber. ; Biavhen a retail lumberman starts to con- | der the installation of a factory to handle his own work he would be well advised to let it remain in the consideration stage for a considerable period. There are times, of se, when no other course is open to him, but in nearly every town of any size it is possible to find someone with an outfit of machinery who will do the work at a minimum charge. There are always me- chanics who put in some machines and buy one or two cars of lumber with the expecta- tion of furnishing all the material required for the building trade, but who fall down for lack of business ability and, eventually, are glad to accept the mill work offered by some progressive retailer who has started up beside them. The dividing line between the businesses that we know as planing mills and retail lumber yards is often hard to find. Gener- ally speaking, however, it will be found that the planing mill was launched by a man with machine experience who started with a factory and attempted to work up a retail yard, many times, it must be admitted, he has met with success, whereas the retail lumber yard started with a stock of lumber to cater to the requirements of the com- munity for all kinds of lumber, and perhaps, found after a time, that it was necessary to _ install some machinery in order to function _ properly. That means that one man started out with the ideas of a mechanic and the other with the viewpoint of a merchant. _ It has been my observation that the fel- low, who started out with the viewpoint of a merchant, to render a service to the com- munity. by carrying a stock of rough and dressed lumber for all classes of buildings, invariably surpassed the fellow who started with a planing mill, the result being that the planing mill had to be satisfied with the odd jobs of. the town and the work the retailer - gave him. a s Why Tie Up Money in Plant? If the retail lumberman can get someone else to do his machine work for him at a fair price he is much better to have it done .» that way than to put in a plant himself. If _ he puts in a plant he can very easily tie up ss ten or fifteen thousand dollars. Then he must get a competent foreman and machine 7 "operators. When he acquires a plant and organization of this kind he will have to keep his nose to the grindstone to dig up enough _ work to keep the’ equipment busy. And very ~ often he will decide to make certain kinds _ of material in order to keep the plant active when he could buy the goods much cheaper than he could manufacture it. ___I was in the office of a retailer the other day who consistently refuses to put in enty other than the one machine he has, a power feed rip saw. He was making ey comparison between his business and that a competitor close by who operates a od sized plant. The plant in question E lust represent an investment of, at least, : fifty thousand dollars, and the staff neces- Sary to operate it will mean a stiff pay roll every month. My friend the retailer was nting out that they do a greater volume iness ay the firm with the big plant a Oe Pa a yn en oe eee ee ee CANADA LUMBERMAN P: Planing Mill Eats Up All Profit _ Made on the Lumber End of the Business and often beat them out on a bill of mater- ial because they are able to furnish better machined stock. He was wondering, there- fore, where the big plant gets off when his business is just paying a reasonable profit. Gets Large Quantities of Dressed Stock It must be losing money. If the yard that has no pay roll other than yard help to meet, and no investment in machinery, 1s only making a fair profit it seems reasonable to suppose that the other fellows must be losing out. The stocks carried by the two firms are about equal as to quantity, but a greater proportion would be dressed lumber and finish in one case than the other, which would not make such a great amount of dif- ference in the sums of money tied up in stock by the two yards. It seems obvious, therefore, which is the most desirable basis on which to conduct the business. It so happens that the amount of busi- ness done in the district where these two yards are located is quite large. It is pos- sible, therefore, to buy milled stock in large quantities. That is the reason the retailer without the machinery pointed out that he was able to get better milled stock. The work is done at the large mills where the volume of work turned out enables them to have the very latest equipment obtainable. The firm with the plant, on the other hand, while having a pretty fair outfit. of equip- ment, has not the volume of work to justify them putting in the same machiner-- as the big mills located in close proximity to the sawmills. Then there is to be taken into consideration the difference in the freight rate between the rough and dressed stock. The firm that brings in the rough lumber to machine themselves is paying the higher freight rate. My advice to any retailer is to have a good look around to find out if he cannot get some mill to do his special stuff for him before undertaking anything in the way of putting in a plant. Those retailers without machinery use all the art of salesmanship at their command to persuade the prospective customer to buy stock patterns, and as they have some excellent arguments on their side, they are invariably able to sell their man material they can furnish from stock. If the customer insists on special patterns then the retailer can nearly always have the work done by some planing mill. In some of the larger towns and cities there has come into existence a class of planing mill that handles the machine work of retail lumber yards. I know of one firm that formerly operated a large mill in con- junction with their yard, only to find out it was a losing proposition, and closed it up. They sold off all of their machinery and most of their stock of lumber, but the man, who was left in charge during the selling off period, was able to induce the directors to continue to operate the place as a retail yard. They now have all of their machine work done by a small mill about a mile dis- tant. The stock is trucked there and back, and they pay the mill so much per hour for doing their work, the bill being rendered monthly. By Chas. P. Lucas The yard is now on a paying business, and the man who does the machine work was telling me a few days ago that he is making a nice thing out of it. Of course, he is not doing their work exclusively. The reason they lost money on the first venture was that they had a mill out of all propor- tion to the amount of business they were doing. But they are better off now than theq would be if they had machines of their own. They simply pay for the time the machines are operating on their work, and they have no responsibility if the machines break down. They are in the position of the fellow who said he preferred riding on the street car to driving his own car, because he just paid his fare and if the street car broke down he did not have to fix it, or pay for the repairs. Too Large a Mill for Work Done I have been in planing mills and retail yards in many parts of the country, and, if I intended starting a yard tomorrow, I would do a lot of figuring in an effort to avoid putting in machinery. If I could not get away from it I would, at least, go very slowly. It would likely be necessary to put in a saw of some kind for ripping, but that would be the extent of my equipment if I could possibly get around the matter in some fairly economical way. Even in putting in a saw I doubt if I would go to the expense of a new power feed rip saw. Often one can pick up an older type power feed saw second hand for a low price. These old timers are not mucna good for anything else but a lumber yard on account of the distance between the feed rolls. They will not rip short stock. This is no draw-back in a lumber yard, however, because there is no short stock to rip, that is nothing under four or five feet and these saws I have reference to will generally handle anything as short as two feet. In many woodworking plants their saws must handle stock as short as eight inches. Often they throw out machines that will not do this and the lumberman, if he has his eyes open, can get a bargain. Rip Saw is Useful for Sizing It is difficult to get away from putting in a saw, and if this must be done it is the part of wisdom to get a power feed saw. Often by looking around one of these can be secured for about the price of an ordi- nary rip saw. A saw is very useful for sizing, and most men want studding and joists sized now-a-days. Any retailer knows the variation that frequently occurs in the widths of two by fours and two by eights. I saw the sale of a fourteen thousand dollar house lost about a year ago owing to the fact that the plaster on the walls was all cracked through the neglect of the builder to have the studding sized. Some _ builders think they can save money by buying their lumber from a wholesaler in car lots, but there are several little services the retailer performs for them when they buy from him that saves them money in the long run. ing is one of them. In this particular case the variation in the widths of the studding must have been three-quarters of an inch in Siz- 146 The lather nailed the laths on by bending them in to conform with the joists. The contour of the wall was any- thing but a straight line, and when the laths started to. spring back to their natural shape the plaster cracked. Therefore, nearly every retailer has a saw for sizing. It is a service he performs for his customers. In addition to the siaing there are many ways a saw can be used pro- fitably, so many in fact that they cannot be enumerated. Sometimes a yard will be long on two by eights and short on two by fours. With a saw this can soon be rectified, and the situation tided over until a new ship- ment of two by fours is obtained. Many times defective boards can be ripped up into a usable product if a saw is at hand. But beyond a saw I do not advise retail- ers to venture unless they are forced to take the step. The minute they do they increase their overhead, and their troubles. It does not require a skilled man to take charge of a saw. There are saw makers who will keep your saws in shape for a minimum charge, so all the operator has to do is shove the stock into the machine. The ordinary class of yard help can do that satisfactorily, but it is well to caution them carefully against getting mixed up with the saw. With a power feed rip they have no excuse for get- ting their hands near the saw. The feed rolls take hold before the stock gets near the saw, and once they take hold the opera- some Cases. Hysteria of Price Cutting is Most Pitiable Of all the ills and afflictions that beset business men (and a list of them would rival that of the diseases of the human body), there is none so pitiful as price hysteria. Building material dealers seem to be particularly susceptible to this ailment, though forms of it are sometimes noted in other lines of business. It is, in effect, a breakdown of nerves, and the patient loses control of his usually good facilities. Some one man in an organization gets the “bug” first. He carries it to others with whom he is associated. Soon it breaks out in the whole community. There is little that one can do to stop it. If left to its own course, the disease will usually play itself out in a few months—but what devastation and loss it leaves in its wake! _ It starts something like this: Someone scares himself into believing that the build- ing business is going to the dogs; that every other dealer is cutting prices; that unless he sacrifies every cent of possible profit, cuts down his expenses to the minimum, reduces the wages of everybody who works for him, and gives prices that he knows are not pro- fitable, he will have to close up his yard and quit the business. Every time a would-be customer tells him that he is “too high,” he takes another slash in order to land the busi- ness, if possible. He cuts and slashes, and keeps on losing to someone else, it appar- ently making no difference how much he cuts the price. He worries and frets and stews, and tells his trouble to every sales- man who comes along—how some other dealer cuts prices and “does” him out of nice bills. He explains that he knows all the other dealers are after his goat, and how they started it, he being merely a poor sufferer in the process of being ground beneath the millstones of the larger corpora- SS ee eine ; chet tS eee CANADA LUMBERMAN tor has nothing to do ‘but get another board’ ready to start into the machine. Why Some Mills Are Unprofitable There are many lumber yards where a mill is in operation and the owners wish they had never been induced to install it. It is only fair to state, though, that some of these mills are unprofitable because the owners showed poor judgment in purchasing their equipment. I know of one such in an eastern Ontario town with a population of about ten thousand. ‘The first machine in- stalled in this plant was a fast feed matcher, costing in the neighborhood of seven or eight thousand dollars. The rest of the equipment was selected on the same scale. This mill had about as much use for a fast feed match- er as a cat would have for two tails, and yet they bought it in spite of the fact that an opposition dealer in the town had a similar machine standing idle in his shop which he wanted to sell. When you mention machin- ery now to the owner you require an acci- dent policy in your pocket. He points out that the machinery, particularly the big matcher, has never been used more than about one day a week, and that the mill eats up all the pro fits he makes on the lumber end of the business. This was simply a case of a man putting in an outfit of machinery - on the say of a salesman, or without making a study of conditions. Practically all smaller mills are getting By Chris. M. Anderson. tions. At home he tells the wife how the other dealers are trying to drive him out of town, and otherwise worries the dear lady whose life and interests are so closely bound up with his own. Perhaps he thumps his fist on the table and loudly protests that they shall not do it. Or he may merely throw out his hands in a gesture of helpless- ness and say “What’s the use?” Now, this state of mind is actually hysteria. It is the result of overwrought mind and imagina- tion—with fear added. - The dealer has probably been up against hard competition and endless nagging on the part of the trade about high prices. He has fought it—hoping earnestly for a change to lower price level. He has seen business dropping off. - “Going to the other fellow,’ he concludes in anxiety. What shall he do? What can he do? Eventually, the situation “gets his goat,” price hysteria, and off he goes on a price- cutting spree. Now, if the truth were known, these same “other fellows” were probably as worried about business as he, for they too had seen sales drop off. They were not getting the business that our friend thought they were. The fact of the matter was that nobody was getting it. Most of it never got beyond the “figuring” stage. There was, therefore, no need for excite- ment. The dealers scared themselves and tried to put themselves out of business by cutting their own—and the other fellow’s— throat. By and by the hysteria spends itself, and the mind again becomes rational. The spree has served as a sort of “pop-off valve” emit- ting the pent-up energy and feeling. Now the patient—for by this time he is indeed a patient—feels weak and wobbly, particularly away from the high speed ether ie ‘able to increase materially his percentage of — He catches the fever of. a-days, and giving more attention to ~ smaller, slower feed machines.

Pushing the Sale of Stock Patterns ’ The opinion is general among ret who have planing mills that they are no money making proposition, and while so of them maintain that they are so situa that they must have machinery to take of special work, it is just a question if t would not be better to get rid of their eqt ment and use their efforts to persuade customers, to make use of stock p getting any special work that a | absolutely insisted on done elsewhere. can usually be done, without sa much in the way of service in deliv these days of motor trucks and f roads it should not be such a diffic ter to have ‘a special job done aly mill, even if it is a few miles a the big idea is to keep the special to a minimum by pointing out to a what he saves by buying stock mat does not have to pay for the time nec« to make special knives and set up machines.

The gathering was called to enter as strong a pro- test as possible against the in- creasing and now prohibitive As- sessments of the Compensation Board resulting in a recent pro- clamation whereby rates were exactly doubled. The Board claims this doubling up will be only for the 1923 year, and states that the extra funds thereby to be brought in, will wipe out an alleged deficiency of about $175,- 000. Lumbermen complain that for a number of years the exist- ing rates have been too high, and when notification of the extra levy was published, it was de- & cided that some drastic action was necessary. Consequently, a general meeting was convened, and ‘representatives of over fifty lumbering concerns from all over New Brunswick attended. The President, Mr. Angus McLean, outlined the history of the _Association’s endeavors for the past few years to get more equitable consideration and treatment from the Compensation Board, whose assessments have borne so heavily on the lumbering and logging industry of the Province. later in the day take place with Premier Veniot, and suggested that a resolution be adopted, setting out the views of the meeting as to Swhat particular part of the difficulties the industry is encountering, should be brought to the attention of the Premier, as the time to deal efficiently with the whole question was limited. The resolution provided that the argument before the Premier be confined to the question of the special “100 per cent. increase; also that the requirements for payment thereof be deferred, at least, until such time as the whole compensation matter could be submitted. In this connection President McLean had in mind the report soon to _be fyled by the Price-Waterhouse Auditor, who is investigating the workings of the Compensation Board from its inception, and the pro- visions of the Compensation Act. e Angus McLean, Bathurst, President of N.B. Lumbermen’s Assn. o> : Presents Case to The Premier RR. W. McLellan, the Secretary, was requested to represent the Association before the Premier, and submit its views. At the subsequent conference with the Premier, Mr. McLean tlined the objects of the appearance of the very large delegation, d Mr. McLellan explained the matters necessary to give him an eee tending of the whole vexatious question. _ The delegation was courteously received by Hon. Mr. Veniot, und after the case had been presented, he stated that, while he recogn- ‘ized some relief would have to be afforded in the immediate or near future, he could not see how the present extra assessment could be cancelled, otherwise the Board would be without funds to pay claims. He ‘promised, however, ‘that the auditor’s report would be in the hands of the government in a short time, and within a reasonable period thereafter a general conference of all interested in the subject of compensation would be called to go fully into the whole question, with a view to amending the act so that its provisions would not bear s heavily on such a basic industry, which, under the present con- ons, could not be expected to continne to pay what must be udn uitted to be excessive assessments.

Hartt, of Orillia, who was formerly representative for East Simcoe jin the Ontario Legislature, will be the new overseer of Crown timber agents. At a recent meeting in Toronto, Hon. James Lyons, Minister of Lands and Forests, announced that an appointment would shortly be made of a supervisor of Crown lands and_ timber agents and bush operations. The idea, he stated, was to avoid, if possible, a good deal of waste in the cutting of timber and pulp- wood. The selection of Major Hartt for the post is one that will be well received. He has had a wide practical experience in the lumber industry, being for several years with the Gilmour Co., of Trenton, and later with the Fesserton Timber Co., after which he was in the wholesale business for himself. Major Hartt, who is of Irish extraction, came to Canada in 1884 and has held many important offices. He served several years in the municipal council of Orillia and was first elected to the Ontario legislature in 1911. He was in command of a for- estry battalion overseas which established a record in the matter of the quick construction and equipment of sawmills in France. Major Hartt is a past grand master of the L. O. L., and past supreme grand master of the Loyal True Blues and has long taken a deep interest in forestry and lumber problems. Major J. I. Hartt, Orillia, Ont. Estimate of Canada’s Timber Resources At the present time it is possible to obtain only incomplete esti- mates of the forest and pulp-wood resources of the Dominion of Canada. It is estimated by the director of forestry branch of the Department of the Interior that the forests of Canada have a value of over two billion dollars and that, including all classes of timber, saw material, pulp wood, ties, poles, fuel, etc., accessible and inac- cessible, the total stand may be 986,800,000 M. feet. . Le eae ae CANADA LUMBERMAN eet How Canadian Timber Has Shared and May Continue to Share in the Markets of the British Empire * By A. C. Manbert In presuming to address you upon “Trade in Forest Products,’ I suffer much diffidence. I make no parade of feigned humility but I have scant hope of interesting you unless I can so join the subject to the ideal of the conference as to give it a closely complementary relationship. The forestry question has many sides and phases, but undoubtedly its principal justification in the common mind is in its contribution to man’s daily need. Trade is perhaps the best measure of this contribution. This seems to give me a point of contact, but still a difficulty arises. | Our thought of trade is Empire trade and I have under- taken this task most reluctantly lest, because of certain con- victions which I hold, I may sound a discordant note. I shall much regret if I run counter to any fond designs. The best that I can do is to forewarn you, If I am to be so unfortunate as to excite any disfavor, I am sure that I will at the start receive your commisserations because to cover such a large subject in a short space of time is really formidable. None of us have a fondness for the trite and obvious so that I can take no refuge in generalities. Another option is to aim at entertainment in stories of action and accomplish- ment, for the very aroma of the pine, spruce and balsam clings to the romance and adventure found in their exploita- tion. But we are here for information and pure entertain- ment must come by the way and secondarily. It seems then that I must approach the subject apprais- ingly. This means a detailed inquiry into technical practices, which we might hope would reveal expanding possibilities to be encouraged, or restraining inhibitions to ‘be admitted. But this brings to me no relief, for this proposal stands at the gate to a very wide field. To journey across it is a con- siderable undertaking and to do it in the brief time alotted me is quite impossible. If, therefore, my observations are fragmentary and inconclusive, I crave your ‘indulgence. A Thing is True if it Works Nearly two hundred years ago, Adam Smith, in his “Wealth of Nations,” laid down the fundamental economic principle that man seeks to satisfy his requirements with the minimum of effort. In more recent times, William James the eminent Psychologist of Harvard University, delevoped the theory in his Pragmatic Philosophy that “a thing is true if it works.” It may seem a far cry from metaphysics to trade in forest products but I fancy that you will readily agree with me that these two postulates have a peculiar inherence in the practices of the timber trade. Man undoubtedly found very early a primary interest in timber in his instinct for shelter. Later and secondary interests arising out of cultural refinements have had a more scientific basis in mathematical calculation and chemical for- mulae, but contact with timber has always been determined by practical and homely considerations of discernment, initia- tive and discrimination, Location of timber, quality of pro- duct, means of transportation have called for arbitrary and adventitious decisions that have given an Empirical basis to the development of the industry. If the fact that it finds its material in God’s Great Open, living, vital, majestic, is responsible for the lure which holds and fascinates, it is perhaps also true that the hazards of *Address delivered before the recent British Empire Forestry Conference at Ottawa. operation in the con- quest of nature in- spire a native in- stinct for the prac- tical and the real. i masice™ Gt hvecsie observations with two thoughts in mind. It has been a somewhat popular indulgence in unin- A. GC. Manbert, Toronto formed circles to proclaim the lum- — berman a wanton : destroyer of the forest obsessed in wringing a fortune out of immediate circumstance with no vision nor concern for the © future. ? To this proposition, I give emphatic dissent. Pecuniary interest he unquestionably seeks; otherwise he could not per- sist, But large fortunes, while occasional, are not his com- mon experience, His consolations are more in the enjoyment of robust and virile employment, than large competence. No commercial activity wrestles more with unrestrained com- petition and fortuitous conditions. No natural product comes to a more fickle and inconstant market. Today it will buy; tomorrow it will abstain. Operations run in long cycles; a year or eighteen months from stump to purchaser. But even and always the lumber- man must ‘bring to market only what it will ‘buy. Must he not therefore seek the shortest road and declare a thing to be true only as it works? My other thought is this. i The Empire Development of Timber This conference is dedicated to the ideal of Empire development of timber for Empire use. This is most laud- able and inspiring, but if we would hitch our wagon to a star, we must avoid vain of delightful sailing off into the empyrean. Let us hold our wheels to the earth and keep our seat, remembering that a thing is true if it works. I have more than ordinary interest in this conference. for the better part of 1919, I gave up my business to inquire into timber conditions in Great Britain, in the interest of the Ontario Government and Canadian lumbermen. In my capacity as Timber Commissioner, | participated in some of the organizing meetings preliminary to the Imperial Confer- ence held in 1920. Later, upon my return to Canada, I co- operated in consultations here preparatory to the conference. I mention this lest anything which I may say shall seem to sound a querulous note and suggest an unsympathetic attitude. F Je Another Explanation :—I am dealing only with the Trade of Eastern Canada. British Columbia will present her own situation. Furthermore, my observations are entirely per- sonal and carry no sanction of trade organizations or fellow lumberman. I shall hope they are sufficiently sane and logi- cal to merit considerable approval, but they are not dogmatic. On the contrary they are intended to be only suggestive. I © claim no merit of newness, either in thought or expression. I shall offer no statistics. I hope that the narrative may suffice. The timber industry of. Eastern Canada, as is well known, had its origion and impulse in the export trade. Primarily British, it expanded into South America, the West Indies, and the United States, with occasional transactions in other countries. No trade can prosper without conformity in standards and methods and it is not too much to say that the British contact made an impress in tone and action upon the personnel and methods of the Canadian trade that is altogether invaluable. [ may not suggest however that there was any chronological order in its development. On the contrary, the growth was, on the whole contemporaneous, for while the trade with the Old Land actually came first, it came to pass that, from the early part of the nineteenth cen- tury, when the trade really began to take on shape and vol- ume, its activities embraced all these fields though with TES nk oy ae PER Ee ee aaa x CANADA LUMBERMAN who buys meat buys bones,” and the forest is as definitely limited in the choicest cuts as the herds which range the hills. The poorer cuts and offal must be considered. How they were considered we shall presently indicate. It is not our part, on this occasion to inquire closely into or question this broadly inflexible attitude of the British trade. Absolutely inflexible, it, of course, was not. But if its stand- ard of requirement has been lowered it has never definitely sought the poorer qualities. Freight charges have, of course, played a large part in this attitude for it«is axiomatic that quality determines the distance which goods will travel. The Conservatism of the Britisher A common explanation is in the steadfastness of British alternating degrees of expan- sion and contraction. In this, political and senti- mental considerations con- _spired to influence economic ones and the imposition or removal of a tariff by the United States, the levy of an import duty ‘by the British Government against Baltic woods with the granting of a Colonial preference, all gave this incidence and effect, Largest Single Commercial Activity That the early trade was’ easily the largest single com- mercial activity of this new country is, of course, due to two facts; first, the marvel- lous wealth in quality and quantity of this timber; sec- ond, the fact that this was before iron for ship-building and all forms of structural use came to wrestle for su- premacy in these fields. I shall not enter into the detail of progress nor seek especially to trace out the competitions of iron and other materials that had their influence through changed habits of use. I assume that ‘we must take it that in the broad scheme of things these changes were inevitable. Nor may we believe that they are at an end, They come through Adam Smith’s law. Our concern, I take it is to consider the degree to which our Canadian timber has shared and may continue “to share in the market as it at the moment exists. Mies may rat, this:* point frankly admit our partisanship. Canada possesses this tre- $, 0 gh - mendous asset of coniferous timber. How can its use be four billion feet annually imported into Britain, fully 75% It has been a somewhat popular indulgence in uniformed circles to proclaim the lumberman a wanton destroyer of the forest obsessed in wringing a fortune out of immediate cir- cumstances with no vision nor concern for the future. To this proposition, I give emphatic dissent. Pecuniary interest he unquestionably seeks; otherwise he could not persist. But large fortunes, while occasional, are not his common experience. His consolations are more in the enjoy- ment of robust and virile employment, than large competence. No commercial activity wrestles. more with unrestrained com- petition and fortuitous conditions. No natural product comes to a more fickle and inconstant market.. Today it will buy; tomorrow it will abstain. * Ke Our concern is to consider the degree to which our Canadian timber has shared and may continue to share in the market as it at the moment exists. We may at this point frankly admit our partisanship. Canada possesses this tremendous asset of coniferous timber. How can its use be extended and perpetuated within the Empire? Great Britain imports normally an average of, say, four billion feet of timber, the larger portion of which is the conifer. What is the situation? We may well imagine that the sturdy British, the canny Scotch and the ardent Irish, who early engaged in the British export trade found in the virgin timber of New Brunswick, the St. Lawrence and Ottawa valleys, a seemingly exhaust- less supply. Catering to a critical market, they had no diffi- culty in satisfying customers who demanded particular sizes of approved quality, texture and mellowness, and who would take nothing else. ke x To one coming from the Old Land, where timber is so cherished and conserved, our prodigality in use must seem almost a sacrilege. But independent of any other considera- tions, we may well understand that relatively cheap labor and dear material, as against dear labor and cheap material must make for a striking difference in attitude. The amen- ability of wood for effective and quick construction was a happy solution of the pressing shelter needs of a rapidly settling continent. This called for an entirely different manner of prepara- tion as well as a wider use of qualities. Whereas the British trade requisitioned thick sizes of the better grades, this other call was for a larger proportion of thin lumber. The Bri- tish trade preferred the odd widths—nine and eleven inches, The other trade adopted the twelve inch board as a common denominator with the natural sequence of multiples and even inches, four, six, eight and ten, conservatism. Some carping spirits even suggest a con- stitutional incapacity for pro- gress on the part of the Bri- tish trader by which he is immune to opportunity. His conservatism I admit, but not the rest. On the con- trary, I testify to his shrewd- ness and discriminative in- stinct for essential values that are often overlooked in the opportunistic atmosphere of our Western life. This is a subject for a Macauley or a Morley to elaborate and not for me. But when people naively smile at his queer- ness in insisting upon buying thick deals to saw into thin and narrow boards, where he might have these sizes from side ‘boards and smaller logs, at lower prices, I remember that these thick sizes come from the best portion of the best logs which yield the mel- lowest wood, the straightest grain and the soundest knots; then I begin to understand why he is willing to be thought conservative and un- progressive. All things are relative and undoubtedly, he somestimes falls over back- ward and carries this attitude to extremes. But also, un- doubtedly, he does this. He puts a premium on quality, on excellence, on painstak- ing care and on thrift. Best of all, he exalts and dignifies his business. I gladly pay him this tribute, What would have been the attitude of the British trader without the timber of North- ern Europe is vain speculation. But, when we remember that, in pre war days, of the roughly extended and perpetuated within the Empire? Great Britain came from Russia and Sweden, we can understand his inde- imports normally an average of say four billion feet of tim- pendence of Canada except for our white or so called yellow ber, the larger portion of which is conifer. What is the pine and why he could take what he would and only that. His market was and is absolutely necessary to the Russian We may well imagine that the sturdy British, the canny and Swede, and the proximity which gives them a freight Scotch and the ardent Irish, who early engaged in the British rate of, on the average, one half the carriage cost from Can- situation. export trade found in the virgin timber of New Brunswick, ada, also gives them a personal contact and financial associa- the St. Lawrefice and Ottawa Valleys, a seemingly exhaust- less supply. ‘Catering to a critical market, they had no diffi- culty in satisfying customers who demanded particular sizes of approved quality, texture and mellowness, and who would take nothing else. But this condition inevitably could not last forever, “He tion impossible in the same degree to our remoter situation. Northern Woodsmen are Careful Producers If the Britisher is a critical buyer, these hardy Northern woodsmen are careful producers, wth a keenness which we may well believe grows not less through their relations with 150 CANADA LUMBERMAN i 2 the sons of the “tight little Island.” To make beautiful lum- ber and to practice all possible care in grading, branding and individualizing their product is to invest their business with real artistry. Division of labor and exchange of products are especial- ly direct and simplified in a new country; an almost instinc- tive process. It is not surprising then that the early lum- bermen particularly of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick join- ed to theirs the occupations of shipbuilders and traders in carrying timber and cooperage stock to the West Indies and South America to bring back sugar, rum and other products of tropical and sub-tropical countries. This trade still con- tinues, and, while the exchange is not so direct and intimate, it persists, in spite of the later developed competition of the Southern States, and the more recent encroachments of Pacific Coast woods, since the opening of the Panama Canal. Trade with the United States early began in much the same way if not with the same routine. The American philosopher, Emerson, has aptly proclaim- ed that if any man will make a better mouse trap than his neighbor, the world will beat a path to his door. With equal penetration, he might have added a correlative that if any man will create a need, all the world will clamor at his gate to satisfy it. Canada found in the United States this need for its tim- ber and with increasing enterprise and association has de- voted itself in a large way to its satisfaction. In the New England and Eastern Middle States of New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersy and all fairly contiguous to Canada was the genesis of its industrial and commercial life that has expanded South and West to such tremendous proportions. While these sections had originally been well timbered, by the middle of the last century the cream had largely ‘been cut and lumbermen were moving to Michigan and Wisconsin. The great expansion which followed the civil war gave to Canada its opportunity to strikingly increase, in the section named, that trade which had been gredually growing from a small beginning. To one coming from the Old Land, where timber is so cherished and conserved, our prodigality in use must seem almost a sacrilege. But independent of any other considera. tions, we may well understand that’ relatively cheap labor and dear material, as against dear labor and cheap material must make for a striking difference in attitude. The amena- hility of wood for effective and quick construction was a happy solution of the pressing shelter needs of a rapidly set- tling continent. This called for an entirely different manner of prepara- tion as well as a wider use of qualities. Whereas the British trade requisitioned thick sizes of the better grades, this other call was for a larger proportion of thin lumber. The British trade preferred the odd widths—nine and eleven inches. This other trade adopted the twelve inch board as a common denominator with the natural sequence of multiples and even inches, four, six, eight and ten. The Call For Thick and Thin Sizes Now it is plain even to the uninitiated that the mill which faces its logs to make odd widths must make the burden of its product of these sizes. It is also apparent that the most careful maker in sawing thick must make some thick of the poorer qualities and culls. These last, were not suitable for the British market; neither were they suitable for the American. The conclusion is obvious. Two masters could not thus be served. It was, therefore, inevitable that, other things being equal, the American market, with its wider range of use. offered certain marked attractions. But that these other things are not always equal, is well recognized. Our first mills were located on or close to tide water and their plants designed for bulk shipments by water. These have primarily catered to the British trade. In recent times, they have been gradually installing auxiliary mills to remanu- facture the rejects and sizes, undesirable for the British mar ket. It is different with later built mills in the interior. Transportation charges handicap them in competing for the 3ritish trade, but, on the other hand, they frequently have a - reap in our own time and that more abundantly. I have no ‘need to point the contrast in the stimulus, to forestry pro- -strength of the weakest link, the strength of the Empire is — ee a ee os ee compensating advantage in reaching the American market. It is not my purpose to attempt to marshall all of the — contrasting phases. But at the risk of wearying you, Tam striving to outline significant factors which will suggest to your practised understanding, their logical corollaries. c. In all of this, and quite purposely, I have made no men- tion of ‘Canada’s domestic trade—her home consumption, But — you would quite misunderstand me if this seems to suggest a lack of importance. On the contrary, it has an importance, — present and potential, that only the unobserving and unimagi- native can ignore. We, who are intimate to the situation, may ‘by our very nearness suffer a lack off perspective, I tim you who are strangers or visitors cannot fail to glimpse, in abundant evidences of our growth and promise, a keen impres- sion of the demand, which this gives and will give to the timber trade. Interesting illustrations flood my mind, but | where “he who runs may read,” I am content to léaweltes wee | friendly interest their ready discernment of the matter. —*Y Sentiment and Economics in Opposition * es My labor comes to this. If you can find substantial agree- 5 ment with my observations, you likewise will acree with my : conviction that, in the matter of extension of Eastern Can- ada’s trade with Britain in timber products, sentiment and economics are in opposition. Great Britain and Canada are anxious to increase the trade in timber. During the war and directly thereafter, the mighty surge of consanguinity seemed to give its guarantee of renaissance. But with the removal of war imposed restraints, war hatreds and resentments fade and the influence of proximity and old established under- standings claims its own. : _ SS a ar In like manner, we have seen how, and conctirrently with revival in building and general business in the United States. these same factors of proximity and understanding gave with equal diligence their call. : __ These same governing conditions are reflected in Canada’s import trade. Nationally speaking she wishes particularly to trade with Britain, and gives preferential traiff emphases, but none the less she buys most from the United States. Why is it? The instinct to uniformity reacts to the influence of the transient, of persistent styles, customs and manners, and cir- cumstance, and the play of natural law rises superior to interference. In the ordinary activities tinged with commercial flavor, | the motive of any association largely arises out of self interest in rewards that are fairly immediate. We sow that we may \s posals. Broadly altruistic, it springs out of a noble devotion to the common good. Its vision is to inspire the present for the need of the future. hig 5; Ab: this be true, we have no room for motives of insular or ~ sectional advantage. Our ideal is Imperial interest. Let us approach this then from the standpoint of the new Imperialism. Let us escape the old Imperialism with what was involved in the Colonial viewpoint, into the exaltations of national Imperialism, if I may use the term. Kae Politically and socially our ideal is democracy. Its funda- — ; mental is the freedom of the individual and its inspiration- runs to self development. The future of the state rests on the — status of the individual. So with the Empire. If the strength of the chain is the ¥ ¢ r the strength of Canada, of Australia, of all the integers, as well as the strength of Britain, and sir! this strength can only __ come out of the freest possible self-expression. Artificial — arrangements and arbitrary conventions have no part in this and it matters not how the incidence of trade runs within the © Empire so long as it runs freely out of ideals of honor and dignity and to the development of a virile, sturdy and vir- tuous people. Sir! I trust I have not trespassed upon your time to no purpose, but if I have failed of conviction or interest,I beg of you to understand that I have consistently sought to main- tain the declared attitude of the lumberman to believe those things to be true only as they work. Let us hold to the truth for the truth shall make us free, : 4 . as ay a ee : zene Imi : | | MN . ? | The use of oleomargarine has been endorsed by lumbermen in | various parts of Canada as a healthful, nutritious and palatable | food. Those who carry on logging operations say that, as “oleo” 1s manufactured daily and sold fresh, it is a sweet, wholesome and ' economical food and the experience of operators proves that oleo- | - margarine has excellent keeping qualities and is suitable for camp purposes. _ The British Government some time ago made a _ thorough _ dietetic revision of the menu for the British army and navy, and _ prescribed oleomargarine as the official spread for the bread. For some years oleomargarine has been a “Canada Approved” food and _ at the last convention of the Canadian Lumbermen’s Association, | held in Montreal, a resolution was carried, that the C. L. A. directors — earnestly urge upon the Prime Minister and members of the Domin- | ion Government to enact permanent legislation pertaining to the manufacture and sale of oleomargarine in the Do- _ minion of Canada so that the Canadian people _- would not be deprived of this healthful and nu- tritious product which is manufactured under the inspection of the Dominion Government. This _was the attitude taken by the lumbermen, and the - question whether oleomargarine should ‘be manu- actured in Canada or imported into the country 1s one which must be decided by the Canadian people through its parliamentary representatives. . Under the legislation. passed at Ottawa last - spring the manufacture and importation of oleo- margarine ceased on August 3lst and producers _ have until March Ist 1924 to get rid of their stock. The lumbermen of Canada have always been large consumers of oleomargarine in the camps and re- -gret the course that events took at Ottawa last spring, particularly in view of the foregoing reso- lution which was unanimously adopted while they were assembled in Montreal in January last. The opponents of oleomargarine have endea- voured to create a mysterious atmosphere around its composition accompanied by the innuendo that “fraud” is practiced in its manufacture. That “What is oleomargarine? Nobody knows. You may search the statute books of Canada from end to end and you will find no defini- tion, no formula, no restriction, no anything that indicates what _ oleomargarine is. There are a dozen of twenty different kinds of _ grease that they say may go into oleomargarine, but in what propor- _ tion and with what other constituents we have no means of knowing.” What are the facts Oleomargarine is defined in the Oleomar- _garine Act of 1919 as follows: 2 Ag : Restrictions Make it Wholesome Food _ “Oleomargarine”’ shall mean and include oleomargarine, butter- _ ine, or any other substitute for butter (a) which is manufactured wholly or in part from any fat or oil other than from milk or cream _ (b) which contains no foreign coloring matter and (c) which does - not contain more than sixteen per cent of moisture.” o. Mr. McConica says that oleomargarine is not defined by any _ Statute in Canada, whereas the above definition is contained in the _ Statutes and so objection number one is disposed of. a The formula for oleomargarine is included in the foregoing defi- _ nition stated that the total (81 per cent.) fat content of oleomargarine _ percentage of moisture as required by the formula for butter. The _ fat content of oleomargarine consists, wholly or in part, of any fat or oil other than that of milk or cream. If oleomargarine contains _ sixteen per cent of moisture, eighty four per cent is left, of which _ three per cent is salt and eighty one per cent fat. Further, the defi- nition stated that the total (81 per cent fat content of oleomargarine _ may be one fat or oil cr more than one fat or oil, i.e., such as oleo- oil, or oleo oil and cotton seed oil. _ Mr. McConica says that no formula is given for oleomargarine, Whereas the definition is clear to anyone who understands English, ee - Pi, conc ; eae . - hee ae "ee a2 ¢ Ce we gh) g i i CANADA LUMBERMAN ~What Is Oleomargarine? ed ! Ree: MacLaurin, Toronto method of attack is illustrated by Mr. McConica, S member for Battleford (Hansord p. 3664) in the following words: foo ae eee ee ~ < Its Manufacture, Use, Ingredients and Functions,’ the Purpose it Serves and the Opposition it Has Met With—Its Consumption in Camps Endorsed by The Lumbermen Who Desire to See Its Production Continued. By R. D. MacLaurin, Ph. D. so objection number two is nailed and most effectively disposed of. There are twenty-nine restrictions incorporated in the regula- tions of the oleomargarine act. Mr. McConica says there are no restrictions. If space permitted, the citation of the twenty nine restrictions would clearly demonstrate what extraordinary precau- tions have been taken to protect the health of the people by insuring the production of one healthful, wholesome, hygienic food. By way of illustration, let me cite one restriction: “No milk shall be used in the manufacture of oleomargarine unless it s from non-reacting, tuberculin tested cows, or has been pasturized under the supervision of aninspector appointed by the Minister, and no butter shall be used in such manufacture unless it is free from rancidity or any objectionable odour.” ; f Public health is hereby protected against tuberculosis, typhoid fever, diphtheria, or septic sore throat, being contracted from oleo- margarine. It should be emphasized that Mr. Mc- Conica will not find a corresponding regulation pertaining to milk, cream or butter in the Federal Statutes as there are no compulsory pasteurization requirements for dairy products under the Dairy Industry Act. Mr. McConica’s “no restriction” charge must, therefore, be rejected. The number of fats and oils used in manufac- turing oleomargarine in Canada has never exceed- ed five. Two or three are in general use. The member for Battleford says there are twelve or twenty greases used which, by the way, is a con- siderable variation in itself. It is really difficult to find language to describe adequately such statements. The Various Stages of Manufacture . The first stage in the manufacture of oleomar- garine is the melting together of the fatty ingre- dients, e.g., oleo oil (from beef fat) and a vege- table oil such as peanut oil or cottonseed oil. The oils and fats are combined in such proportions = that the final product will have a melting point between 25-28 degrees centigrade. Such a result may be obtained by combining together varying percentages of different oils and fats or varying percentages of the same oils and fats. This may best be illustrated by two examples of cake margarines from Clayton’s book on “Margarine” page 37. A & Oleostearine 23 per cent Premier Jus 37 per cent Premier Jus 30 per cent Oleo 21 per cent Cotton Seed Oil 47 per cent Cotton Seed Oil 42 per cent 100 per cent 100 per cent The melting point of A and C. is the same, 24 degrees centi- grade and the digestibility and energy value is the same, although the percentage of oils varies in the two formulas. In this connection it should be pointed out that the chemical composition of butter fat varies materially depending on the nature of the feed, breed of the cows, and the period of lactation. For instance, the iodine value may vary from 31-50 and other constants vary in a similar manner. This variation in the chemical constants of butter is exactly analagous to the variation in the chemical con- stants of margarine prepared from different percentages of different oils; or of the same oils. Therefore, the same grounds exist for mak- ing a charge against the variation in chemical composition of but ter as there is for making a charge against oleomargarine on this ground . Further, the much advertised vitamine content of butter is an extremely variable quantity. In this connection, Mr. McConica’s interrogation is quite appropriate. What is the vitamine content of butter? Nobody knows. This disposes of his charge regarding the variation in the composition of oleomargarine. [ .2- During the war, the following formula was officially proposed 152 in England (May standard for a 55 per cent animal fat margarine: 1918) asa 55 per cent 20 per cent 25 per cent 100 per cent Oleomargarine manufactured in Canada contains a higher percent- age of animal fat than that stated in the above formula, e.g., 75 per cent and the remaining 25 per cent is cotton seed oil or peanut oil. Animal Fat Cocoanut Oil Cotton Seed Oil The Preparation of the Milk Milk is essential in the manufacture of oleomargarine as an emulsifying agent and it also serves as a source of flavor. The milk is pasteurized for the purpose of destroying all pathogenic bacteria and other micro-organisms inimical to a good flavor, and for pro- tection to public health. The oleomargarine manufacturer emphatically insists upon the absolute cleanliness and hygienic purity of the milk used in emulsi- fying the fats as the flavor of the finished oleomargarine depends on such conditions being scrupulously observed. After the milk is pasteurized it is cooled and then inoculated with pure lactic acid culture prior to ripening. The ripening process is very carefully controlled so that the desirable flavor and aroma pro- ducing properties may be obtained. The liquid fats and oils are then slowly run into the ripened milk, the mixture being constantly agitated so as to form a perfect emulsion of the oils and milk. When emulsification is complete the temperature is reduced to about 35 degrees centigrade in order to “fix” the emulsion, which is then discharged on to a chute where it is met by a spray of ice water under a slight pressure. Solidification of the fat takes place at once and the granules of oleomargarine float on the surface of the water. Another method of chilling the emulsion is by feeding it in a thin uniform layer on to revolving drums, cooled by brine to about 7 degrees centigrade, when it immedi- ately solidifies and then is removed in the form of flakes by adjust- able knives. The oleomargarine is next rolled, mixed with salt and packed in cartons or boxes and stamped “Canada Approved” oleo- margarine. The preparation of all the ingredients and each detail of the manufacturing process is carried out under the strict supervision of veterinary inspectors appointed by the Health Branch of the De- partment of Agriculture. The food value of fats depend upon their energy value, digesti- bility and vitamine content. Digestibility of the Fats and Oils According to Bulletins 310, 505 and 613 of the U. S. Department of Agriculture the digestibility of the fats and oils under discussion is as follows: Oleomargarine O75) per cent Butter 97.00 per cent Oleo Oil 96.80 per cent Cotton Seed Oil 97.80 per cent Cocoanut Oil 97.90 per cent Neutral Lard 97.00 per cent Peanut Oil 98.30 per cent The above values are, within the limits of experimental error, the same. The energy value of foods is expressed in terms of eee. A calorie is the quantity of heat necessary to raise the temperature of a liter of water one degree centigrade. According to Bulletin No. 469 of the U. S. Department of Agriculture the following energy values are given: 1 pound margarine 1 pound butter 1 pound Oleo oil 1 pound Cotton Seed ‘Oil 1 pound neutral 4,080 calories 1 pound peanut oil 4,080 calories It is apparent therefore that the digestibility and energy value of oleomargarine and butter is the same. 3,500 calories 3,500 calories 4,080 calories 4,080 calories oa. aay > Wise) autelita v0! pi) ele edness! en leiieip el te, 2 dais: e © ely ~ wipe. eymuel wind 6 \ OT pa ee ' CANADA LUMBERMAN Executive of the Association Discuss Proposed Western Trip Which will be Definitely Decided Upon at Annual Convention in Toronto— Gathering will be Held on January 16, 17 and 18— Cost Accounting Committee Reports Progress—Many Other Matters Given Consid-. eration. Ontario retail lumbermen may take a trip to the Pacific Coast next September if the expression of opinion, which prevailed at the recent meeting of the O.R.L.D.A. directors held in the Board of Trade Rooms, Toronto, holds at the annual gathering which will assemble in the King Edward Hotel, Toronto January 16th, 17th and 18th. The matter of the annual outing was introduced and John B. Reid, honorary presi- dent of the Association, stated that the mid- summer excursion of the O.R.L.D.A. was one of the big events in the year, so far as the retail lumbermen were concerned. The trips. that ‘were most enjoyed were those in which they met people who were inter- ested in the same line of business and. yard men could visit the mills and factories of leaders of the industry. Mr. Reid particularly mentioned the suc- cess of the past outings to Penetanguishene and Midland, North Bay, Callender and Cache Bay and Byng Inlet. He believed that the dealers had visited most mills in Ontario but a large number of them had never seen the Coast and were anxious to make the trip to British Columbia with their wives. He thought it would be possible for the majority of retailers to get away about the middle of September 1924. They would have the pleasure of seeing harvest opera- tions in the prairie: provinces and visiting the Mountain and:Coast mills, where he felt sure that they would be well received. Pro- ceeding, Mr. Reid declared that it would not be such a costly jaunt as some imagined. The members could travel in a special car and stop off at various points of interest. The outing would possibly take a couple of weeks or more and would be a trip worth while. K. J. Shirton, of Dunnville, president of the Association, also spoke along the same lines and said that the suggestion was a worth-while one and would be brought be- fore the annual meeting and thoroughly dis- cussed. He believed that many dealers in Ontario would like to see more of their own country and take a trip across the prairies and witness how the lumber activities were conducted in the Pacific Coast province. On motion of W. C. Irvin, of Toronto, seconded by A. R. Sanders, of St. Thomas, Horace Boultbee, secretary of the O.R.L.D. A., and G. B. Van Blaricom, editor of the “Canada Lumberman,” were appointed to secure data with respect to route, cost, time, etc., of the proposed outing and to present the same at the next regular meeting of the directors which will be held in November, previous to the annual gathering. Final de- cision with respect to the trip to the Coast will be made at the annual convention. In the meantime the members and others will con- duct propaganda in its ‘behalf. It was also pointed out that several lumber bodies in the United States had taken a trip across their country to the Coast. In regard to the outing which was held down the St. Lawrence this summer, Secre- tary Boultbee reported that it had been very enjoyable and had netted the Association some $163 in profits, Uniform Cost Accounting Progress Another item brought up was the mat- ter of a uniform cost accounting system. An interim report was presented by George S. Zimmerman, Tavistock, chairman of the-com- mittee, who stated that progress was being made, several systems and authorities being consulted. It was hoped to draft a plan by which each member could by means of a special set of books apply the system to his own business. The plan would embrace both yard and factory. After the general princi- ples are agreed upon, it is probable that an expert accountant will be engaged to com- plete it so that members can avail themselves of the proposition. Mr. Zimmerman spoke of the importance of knowing costs and cuttmg out all guess- work. He said an ordinary set of ledgers would tell a man whether he was making or losing but would not give him any specific information as to where he made money or lost or when. This was the kind of data that the members desired so that they could know where they were at in every detail of manu- facture as far as material, work, time, turn- over, etc., were concerned. The committee will continue its activities and the whole mat- ter will be ready to lay before the annual meeting in January next. Secretary Boultbee reported that the mem- bership of the Association was 198 and it was decided that new members should be allowed the privilege of joining for the remainder of the year for $5. The secretary outlined the -progress that has been made on the new Mechanics’ Lein Act which has just gone into effect and also referred to the new sales tax, the interpretation of which was not yet very clear. It was felt that before the tax would be applied on January Ist, 1924 the federal gov- ernment would issue further explanations. New District and Trade Mary Reference was made to the establishment of a district Association in Port Arthur knowr as the “Northern Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ District Association,’ of which M. J. McDonald is chairman. The hope was expressed that this new body would affiliate with the O.R.L.D.A. The question of issuing a trade mark and the probable cost was also gone into. A design was submitted but was referred back in order that some changes may be made, The \ : “son 4, ie es (th, wat Wid S09 Sachs “TAs Gee tat device is in a incites form with “Ontadal Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association just i side the periphery and a monogram in t centre. It was stated that if these trademarks were ordered in quantities, electros could b furnished to the members for their peintelll matter at about 60 cents each, ide postage. It was also decided that there showtd bea “Lost and Found” list published in the “Bi letin” which will cover, as far as possible, movements of debtors, men whose custom it is to escape payment and move from one com-— munity to another without settling for their — supplies. It was thought that this might help © out a number of retailers in getting payment — 4 from dead-beats and act as a warning to other dealers who might be approached Be certain parties for credit. < te Next Convention Will be in Waronks : It was stated that the annual meeting of the O.R.L.D.A. will be held at the King Ed-_ ward Hotel on January 16th, 17th, and 18th. The annual banquet will take place on ee ary 17th. Every preparation will be made for | the success of the gathering. Another matter which came up was the ~ advisability of taking out a group member- — ship in the Canadian Association of Building — and Construction Industries. The matter was — referred to President Shirton, Secretary Boultbee, J. B. Reid and W.C. Irvin to report on at the next gathering. The fee for a group membership was $25. It was thought by some of the directors present that it would be well for the O.R.L.D.A. to ally itself with the larger Association in the hope of encouraging building, by having special facilities afforded for the formation of local ‘building and loan Associations, the same as prevail in many of the smaller and also larger centres in the United States and do much to stimulate home construction. Another matter touched upon was the redivision of the province into smaller dis- tricts for retail lumbermen. At present it was felt that many of the areas were too large. If the men in a couple of counties would come together and discuss local prob- — lems, .it was believed that more interest could be aroused and, on the basis of friend- ship and mutual co-operation, much would: be gained. This matter will be taken up further at a later date. The secretary sub- mitted maps of Ontario showing | the peEOY posed redivision of districts.

Tyrer As regards the export situation in Nova Scotia there has been quite a large quantity of lumber shipped to the English market. We have all been very glad to avail as it simply meant saw- ing stock into random widths and lengths and shipping it as fast as it is manufactured. For some reason the people in England are insisting on having fresh sawn lumber in both hard- wood and = spruce and, from our own experi- ence, any seasoned lum- ber which has been ship- ped over there, has not met with such a good “market as fresh sawn stock has among most purchasers during the last few months. Then again with regard to specification we find that we have been able to dispose of 3 x 5, 6, 7 and 8 to much better advantage than 3 x 9 and up and small scantling. By this, I don’t mean we cannot get as good a price for 3 x 9 and up as 3 x 5 to 8 but the increased price for 3 x 9 and up is not ‘by any means what it should be, taking the specification into consideration. The Irish market has been the best for the wide stock and the Miramichi people have done pretty well in this market. The English field*is more attractive for the average operator here for the above reasons, as purchasers are not so strict with regard to the manufacture and do not make as many culls and shortages as in American. The price too has been just as good in dollars and cents, if not a trifle better, than in America; and then they will take the stock sawn chiefly into 3 inch and will take it as fast as manufactured. This again means $1.00 or possibly $2.00 per M. on to the price. With regard to the freight rate situation the ruling rate Colin C. Tyrer, Halifax, N.S. ourselves of this outlet . of 70S on spruce and 80S on hardwood by liners has, of course, helped to restrict business to some extent, but not to any serious extent as the market on the other side is not in a position to absorb large quantities of lumber which perhaps would have been shipped if the liners were down to 50S and tramps could have been chartered at a similar rate. Individuals charters of steamers have been effected at to 65S from Restigouche, Miramichi and Nova Scotia ports which, of course helps out, as these steamers can go to out- ports where a better price ‘is obtainable than to regular liner ports in the Clyde, Mersey, Bristol Channel and London. Local trade in Halifax has been dead. There have been a large number of buildings torn down, which were in con- nection with the Halifax disaster and the war. This lumber is being peddled around at very low figures and seems to answer the present limited building requirements and repair work around here. With respect to trade in Nova Scotia generally it has been better in the other principal towns but not by any means active. As regards the quantity of lumber manufactured this year it has fallen considerably short on account of the hard winter we had. All operations were more or less curtailed and I think it is just as well as it keeps the whole situation in ‘better shape, as the result is that stocks at the mills are limited. Referring to the future we think that people are plan- ning on carrying on logging and sawing opreations this fall and winter on a larger scale than last and, with favorable conditions, the output will be considerably increased. As regards the supply of men people are finding it difficult at the time of writing to get enough men to do their haying, which means many lumber operations are at a standstill for the time being. We believe however, that in the fall a lot of people, who left Nova Scotia for the United States will return and we hope to be able to secure the annual quantity of men required to carry on the operations that are planned ahead. In the matter of wages we expect them to rule not less than last year and, if anything, a little higher, and the same applies to producing costs. Wages Higher and Help Scarce in New Brunswick By J. W. Brankley The lumber situation in New Brunswick dur- ing the past season has on the whole been fair- ly satisfactory. While our sales in the United States have been small because there was little demand for forest pro- dusts from this district, the English market was very good, If it had not been for the overseas re- quisitions in the spring of the year, we would have been in a rather bad shape in this province. All our cut, about 25,- 009,000 feet of 1919-23 stock, was sold early in the season and_ good prices were realized. The British market has been a splendid outlet as we have not been able to do much with our lumber across the J. W. Brankley, Chatham, N.B. border. So far as overseas freight rates are concerned, we do not think they have been very high this year. We have known some freight to be accepted at 60 and 65 shillings, so that the carrying charges have not had much to do with the export business. Local trade has been about normal this year and mill stocks on the Miramichi when navigation closes will be pretty well cleared up. With respect to logging operat’ons for the coming winter, it would appear as if they ; are going to be lively as there has been so much standing timber burned along the Restigouche and the Miramichi that the Government is insisting that the lumbermen should cut all that is poss ble. If we ourselves do not cut, the provincial administration says it will lease the lands to other parties. We think there will be quite a lot cut but some of our woods superintendents have brought down from the bush specimens of the timber damaged by the borer which has already started working on the trees that were burned this spring. The saying goes that where a forest fire has been previous to July Ist, the moth or bug lays the egg right after and then the borer gets busy before the end of the - year. This evidently i is true. It looks as if men are going to be scarce this season and consequently wages a little h‘'gher than last winter and we can ill afford to pay more. This will, of course, make the finished product cost more money. 169 170 ~ CANADA: LUMBERMAN Bias aN : Budget of News Bieta from — Bast That the lumber cut in the province of New Brunswick during the fall and winter will be exceptionally large is a statement made to a representative of the “Canada Lumberman” by one of the lead- ing operators. The terrible ravages of the forest fires during the summer has decided this question and in order to save the millions of feet of damaged timber still standing an earlier start than usual is being made. Already the large operators have crews in the woods cutting and it is expected that they will keep on until next spring. It is felt that the sooner the timber can be cut and manufactured the larger will be the saving, and, with this end in view, every effort is being made to make a steady ‘and rapid strides to offset the tre- mendous loss already entailed by the fires. Just how much lumber will be sawn depends entirely on conditions. If they are favorable the cut should be the largest in many years, but at this early date it is impossible for even the best informed to give a rough estimate of the amount. The work of salvaging the damaged timber is so urgent that the most experienced men are being secured. The average lumber- man is receiving $40.00 a month with board. This is $10 higher than was paid last season, but conditions then were different and the extra expense must be secondary consideration this year when so much is at stake. The cost of the lumber camp, aside from wages, should not be any higher than last season as the price of food stuffs are about the same. Equipment should not be any higher and if anything a little lower, but just what comparison there will be is not definitely known by the operators until pay day comes around. Taken on the whole lumbering operations in the New Bruns- wick woods this year and next spring should be a record breaker, but time alone can tell just what the size of the cut will be. Today it is a question of save as much as possible and keep right on until conditions force a cessation of activities. * * The St. John River this summer reached the lowest level rec- orded in years and as a result rafting has been held up. Just what this means to the trade is evinced from the fact that the extreme low water caused a feed-pump at the Victoria mill, operated by the Fraser Companies, Ltd., to fail for the first time in the history of the mill. Rafting operations of the Nashwaak Pulp & Paper Company at the mouth of the Nashwaak have been suspended indefinitely awaiting a rise of the water. Several million feet of logs have yet to be rafted and as a result from present indications there will be a fall rafting season, which is quite unusual. * * * A fine new lumber plant of the St. Croix Paper Company at Woodland Junction was practically destroyed by fire recently, caus- ing a loss of $150,000. The saw mill, box mill, dry kiln box, and BRouk mill were burned together with four shingle machines, steam operated band saw and much new machinery. This plant was only constructed two years ago. A pile of lumber standing near the mill and totaling approximately 1,250,000 feet was saved. There were about 125 men employed in the mills. *K OK OK At a recent conference of the advisory board of the departmeut of Lands and Mines many important questions in connection with the lumber trade was taken up and given serious consideration. One of the matters decided on was the adoption of the Quebec scale for all logs under ten inches in diameter. It was also recommended that the New Brunswick Scalers Act be in effect in regard to all Crown Lands, which will mean that all scalers on Crown Lands must be qualified provincial scalers. This act is to go into effect on Oct- ober 1. The action of the department in taking steps to provide for the cutting of burned timber while still fit for manufacture was also approved, the idea being that holders of large areas of Crown Lands release to other operators the lands, which they cannot take care of. The board also discussed section 5 of the Crown Lands Timber Act, 1923, which is meant to provide for the setting aside of certain areas for twelve years with a view toward extension of lease. Hon. Mr. Robinson, Minister of Lands and Mines, announced that reports on the quantities of burned timber has been sent out to the licensees. The largest areas burned were on limits of the Stet- son, Cutler Company, the Shives Lumber Company and the Richards Manufacturing Company. It is understood that considerable areas of green timber lands, which have not been burned exist within the _ octo at the upset price of $20 per mile. ~ passing will be noted with interest by lumbermen all over the prog band abr cake. outer limits of the burned areas and that in them the timber has Pes been damaged. In view of this it is possible that the estimate of damaged timber may be larger than it should ve) Par: Six timber berths were recently sold at the Crown Lands o The Fraser Companies, Limited, bought two and a half mile Big Shohomoc Lake and two miles on Rockwell Branch of O William J.

Every yard should have within its organization one man, who alone is responsible for the handling of orders and proper direction of the persons getting ready the orders for delivery. He alone should be liable for errors in orders received and his verdict should be final as as to their routing through the yard or mill. A business is no stronger than the morale of its staff and, whenever one man’s judgment or decision is vetoed by another, you lose just that much prestige with your customer, When a patron can have his order superseded by another which is prior in date of receipt, you have made the wheels of your busi- ness system drag and work becomes irksome to someone in your organization. How often have we heard it said around various mills and yards. “Oh, well, I’ll see Bill, he will rush it through for me!” The customer who says this, should be made to understand that, while it is your desire to oblige and give efficient service, you can- not be permitting each and every order to be held up while his is receiving special attention. Getting Out the Rush Orders If need be you should have a man whose duty it is to attain to special rush orders. Then other shippers are not being taken away from half-filled orders and forced to change their work, as laid out by-your traffic man, to adjust a schedule to the liking of some client who has forgotten to place his order until his men are out of a job. By earnest co-operation on the part of the lumberman and his customer he can give, and they can receive, a much more improved service and each will benefit financially; the retailer in that his costs will be lessened and the purchaser will receive benefit thereby and obtain much quicker delivery. In order to compare operating costs relative to delivering lum- ber, it is necessary to go over each individual problem separately but the accompanying figures being general, will serve as a guide rather than an actual basis of costs. The ordinary yard would in all probability possess a small truck and a team or single horse wagon. The larger will in addition to wagons, have several trucks in service and possibly a tractor and trailer. The investment required to handle a medium sized yard and care for the incoming lumber would possibly be represented by a truck of some two or two and one-half tons’ capacity, a smaller truck of one ton rating and a couple of teams and a single wagon. ' With this equipment the retailer should be in a position to handle his incoming cars and also deliver finished products without recourse to renting, except during the very busy periods, and it would not be profitable to purchase more equipment to care for an added rush of business during a period of a few weeks. For a basis of our figures we have used certain investment amounts, which will, of course, be correspondingly higher or lower in different sections of the country and will vary according to just what is purchased but that would remain a purely local question and might not be satisfactory to many other places. Our investment represented in a team delivery outfit for ‘both summer and winter delivery is placed at $800.00, the small truck equipment representing a capital outlay of the same amount, while the average allowed for a truck of two or two and one- -half tons capacity has been placed at $3,500.00. We are allowing a fair invest- ment value for a tractor and trailer equipment of $1,500.00. Referring to the table, we can trace very easily the relative amounts allowed for original purchase of equipment. We must take care of depreciation and maintenance on each vehicle used for deliv- ery, and again we can only approximate as these items will vary according to the locality and conditions under which they work. Knowing How to Route Deliveries As outlined at first, the main essential to a good delivery system is not an abundance of ‘equipment but rather a brainy executive, who knows how to route his deliveries in order to deliver the greatest amount in the least possible time and at a minimum of expense, and : understands the pesparadon of orders so that when an empty vehicle a can Getting at the Cost of Motor Operation - Retail Lumberman and His Delivery Problem % By L. G. Jackson mI mim mmm mi i iim i iii iis CANADA LUMBERMAN 174 comes to the yard, it can be loaded and despatched with a minimum of standing time; a systematic handling of stock so that orders can be completely filled at one time in order to eliminate unnecessary delivery trips to the same job with small portions of the same order. The chart presented is used to make clear what can be done and what must be taken care of if a retailer is to know what it costs him to handle his lumber and, while not perfect or acceptable to each individual lumberman, a similar chart, kept with actual local figures, would assist materially in reducing unnecessary overhead and permit of an improved delivery system. By referring to the charts we have in “A”, a partial cost of opera- tion on a mile basis is arrived at by knowing the total costs of the various items under the headings used in this table and dividing by the number of miles operated during the period usually a month or in some cases twice yearly. These figures are known as variable costs. Chart “B” gives us the daily costs of the five headings used with the chart and they cover practically everything necessary to arrive at the operating costs. These two charts are really a result of a carefully kept record of the items of which they are composed and it is not really neces- sary to show a chart which would be used in arriving at these results as that is merely a matter of bookkeeping records and can very easily be tabulated in whatever form is most easily kept by the bookkeeper. Actual Cost Per Mile to Deliver Chart “C” is really our basis of comparison as it shows in con- crete form the actual cost per mile for each method of delivery. As for instance, on a basis of 50 miles per day, we find it costs nearly 23 cents per mile to deliver with the two, two and one-half ton trucks, Tractor at work in retail yard hauling lumber from cars on railway siding to the piles and planing mill and if 20,000 feet of lumber is delivered we have a cost per thousand of 57 cents, whereas, if the same truck is sent on a much longer deliv- ery radius and can only handle 10,000 feet per day while covering the same number of miles, it has increased the cost to $1.14 per thou- sand. Then we can see that, if we can deliver the same quantity of lumber over the same mileage with the lighter truck, we would be cutting our costs from $1.14 to 89c. per thousand feet of lumber. The comparisons, which can be arrived at are many and are purely local as also are the various items making up the charts. It is not intended that these figures will be taken literally but serve as a guide to assist in learning what it costs us to deliver our lumber. They may also be used on a basis of the value of goods delivered per ‘day at a definite cost and the percentage then taken, as, for instance, a yard which delivers today goods worth $1,000, finds that it has cost with a one-ton truck, a two-ton truck and single horse wagon the sum of $25.63 or $2.56 per $100, which gives the percent- age for delivery costs. This method is often used where large amounts of finished products, as doors and mouldings, are deliv ered and where it would be hard to arrive at a per thousand cost. In conclusion, it is necessary to know first of all a few fundamen- tals before arriving at costs of operation and these are very simple. 72 CANADA LUMBERMAN ON Ne You have first your investment, then the period over which the vehi- cle is worked your basis of depreciation which can be arrived at very easily. The interest on the investment is usually figured over a period of years on the following schedule. Yar il Rate x Investment x ¥, 2 Where Y is the number of years over which the vehicle is depre- ciated. The rate is usually figured at 7%. This table will give the same amount for each year, of course, but will be lower for the first year than straight interest, yet much higher the last year. This will allow for an even return of money invested and permit accurate figures in your cost chart. A little study will enable anyone to evolve an accurate basis for his costs and also permit the lumberman to know definitely what he can deliver lumber from his yard for and this is one thing which many yards do not know today.

The idea he said, is to avoid, if possible, a good deal of waste in the cutting of lumber and pulpwood. Prof. Elton R. Darling, of Milliken University, Bloomington, Ill., recently made some remarkable experiments by converting corn cobs into blocks of solid wood. ‘This “synthetic wood” as it is tech- nically called is to have all the properties of any hardwood. It can be whittled, glued, nailed, shaved or turned on a lathe without chip- ping. It will withstand a pressure of 10,000 lbs. to the square inch. Screws may be passed through it without any more injury to the fibre than is done to ordinary wood. Besides discovering a substi- tute for forest products, Prof. Darling obtains valuable by-products which may help to put the “synthetic wood” on a commercial basis. Lieut. Gov. H.

Mr. Chesbro reports that all the Coast mills are busy, particularly with export and offshore trade, and that stocks of common lumber are rather scarce owing to the steady demand across the border. So far as clears or shed stocks are concerned, these are more plentiful. Some of the Mountain mills have recently sold considerable 2x4and2x6and shiplap for the construction of granaries on the prairies but there _ has been no great demand as yet from the western farmers for lum- ber. The outlook on the whole is good, and a confident spirit Ree } vails in the ranks of manufacturers and distributors. — 33 Several widely known and representative men in the pulp. and— paper line will be members of the directorate of the reorganized Riordon Co., Montreal.

Some firms state that business is good while others declare that it is dull. On the whole, a fair volume of trade is passing. Prices of spruce, which showed a tendency to soften, are firmer, wholesalers affirming that the mills are maintaining a stiff attitude as to values and that no bargains are available. Besides thin, the stocks on offer are by no means heavy. The general opinion is that wholesalers and retailers may expect a steady ‘business during the balance of the year and that values will not fluctuate to any great extent. While building in the pro- vince is keeping up. in Montreal there is a slight set-back. In August the permits totalled $1,839,367, as compared with $2,080,270 in August 1922. Construction figures for the year, however, still show a considerable increase on those of 1922. The spruce lath market has picked up under the stimulus of a better demand. Only a small amount of lumber is being shipped to the U. K. Exporters state that the call so far has been disappoint- ing, due to the general industrial conditions in Great Britain. The cost of woods operations in the 1923-24 season will be con- siderably higher. Wages for men engaged in improvements run from $45 to $55 per month, while jobbers are offering $90 per month for choppers. The former rate is about 25 to 30 per cent above that of last season. Men are being freely advertised for and the supply is not large. The higher wages offered by the jobbers and by some companies have set a standard which must be followed by others, if they want to get and retain the men, who will go from one camp to another in the event of ‘better w&ges. The St. Maurice Pulp & Paper Companies are making preparations for very extensive cuts of pulp- wood. The exports of pulpwood continue to increase, due to some extent to American pulp and paper companies with Canadian affilia- tions drawing upon their resources on this side. Some American concerns have shut down pulpwood operations in the United States and are relying almost entirely on Canadian wood. During July 151,794 cords, valued at $1,557,946, were exported as compared with 90,765 cords and $946,946 in July of 1922. The exports for the four months of the fiscal year totalled 537,305 cords, valued at $5,082,393, compared with 291,640 cords, valued at $2,978,732 in the correspond- ing months of 1922. The exports in July represented an increase of 84 per cent. Evidently the threat of an embargo has caused this greater call upon Canadian wood. Quebec Exporters Are Doing Moderate Business Owing to the dockers’ strike at the various seaports of Great Britain, the export of timber and sawn lumber from the port of Quebec did not meet with expectations during the month of August. The strike that tied up all shipping, including lumber-laden vessels, lasted over seven weeks which caused the British importers to request all Canadian shippers to wait until the trouble had come to an end before making any more shipments in the completion of orders, with the result that only two shipments of wood were made from Quebec apart from parcels carried on the Canadian Pacific Steamship lines during the month of August. The total quantity of wood shipped was 85,142 feet, b.m., timber and 1,205,681 feet, b.m., sawn lumber. In the meantime, very few inquiries were received by the Quebec shippers until the latter part of the month when there began to arrive offers which the Quebec exporters were studying at the time of writing. The Quebec firm of H. R. Goodday & Co., whose mill interests are centered in the Baie de Chaleur and carry on their shipping activities through the port of Campbellton, N.B., are looking forward to a busy fall season. In the early part of the summer this firm was handicapped by the excessive drought which had dried up the rivers This situation, how- ever, has now been overcome and there are three ships at Campbell- ton to load with this enterprising firm’s lumber who are looking h _ forward to a busy fall season. In the meantime, the reports received _ by the Quebec export firms from their United Kingdom agents, are, _ to say the least, not encouraging, altogether due to the dockers’ strike which in the end aroused the attention of the lumber interests of England. . ; Describing the seriousness of the strike, the reports received go BS on to state that in the location of the Surrey docks the port of London ih te ts : { uy ‘n ¥ * " Pr ji Ny Ra ce ot Rey es and the largest in England where from fifty to sixty lumber- laden ships were tied up, it was almost possible to step from one ship to the other separated by idle empty lighters. When this strike was inaugurated against the advice of the Union leaders who insisted on non-violation of contract agreement, it was thought the difficulty could not last long as the dockers’ Unions were without funds but the Relief Guardians, principally controlled by elected labor men, illegally distributed relief equal to the wages earned by the dockers who were in no hurry to go back to work so long as they could live in idleness and receive support from the Guardians. This encouragement of a Bolsheviki mentality does not alone exist among the dockers of England but in all avenues of labor to the demoraliza- tion of commerce and industry due to the political conditions of Europe and causing great anxiety to the British Government. But there is a silver lining in the dark clouds which overhang the European sky, especially in England where industry is assum.ng an aspect of more stability. Building of houses is progressing favor- ably as well as other construction and the British lumber merchants, who were well stocked before the advent of the dockers’ strike, are selling out their old as well as new stock to meet the demands of construction. This denotes that now, with the end of the dockers’ strike and uninterrupted discharge and distribution of the lumber cargoes, the British lumber business will begin to recover. It will take some months, however, before the situation will be sufficiently ameliorated to allow the importers to recover their serenity and count their losses and again build up their business. In the meantime, the Canadian wood export trade will have to wait their opportunity which is not likely to occur as far as the St. Lawrence shipping trade is concerned in accordance with expectations this season of navigation, There is one redeeming feature left the Quebec wood exporters, the trade with the United States market, which is steady, and the books of the Quebec mill owners are well filled with orders. Apart from this, the Quebec firms encouraged by the cable and mail advices of their United Kingdom agents, look forward to fall ship- ments and are more optimistic of the future in anticipation of an European political settlement, to be followed by a recovery in the _ rates of exchange that will herald a good business in 1924. Ontario Trade Seasonably Quiet in Lumber Line Business in the lumber market during the past few weeks has been on the whole, rather quiet although varying reports are received from a number of sources. Few firms seem to agree iden- tically in the matter of how the situation is shaping up at the present time. Retailers state that the decline in building operations has resulted in decreased orders for rough lumber although several firms are busy on interior trim. Stocks on the whole are low and there is” no desire to ‘buy other than for pressing needs or sorting-up pur- poses. There seems to be a feeling that values will not go any higher. However, stock's are not heavy in many lines and those who profess ability to read the signs of the times aright, maintain that existing values will hold in general. There has been a slight recession in a few widths and thicknesses with which the market was well supplied but in the ordinary run no change has taken place. Hemlock, which seemed to be a little off during the past couple of weeks, has firmed up again and spruce is on the whole holding its own although a number of the smaller manufacturers who were in need of money were apparently willing to sell at lower prices. The biggest producers, however, are keeping away from the market. until they get their price. Latest reports are that spruce is a little scarcer and present quotations are likely to govern for fall. The shingle market is decidedly awry at the present time and a number of western plants have closed down rather than endeavor to turn out the product which they claim is only marketed at a loss. The demand for B.C. Coast stock is not brisk and considerable quantities of Southern pine and Michigan hemlock are being brought in and laid down in Southwestern Ontario. Most of the Coast mills are still busy on export and stocks of No. 2 common are not heavy. _ In Ontario men for the woods are not plentiful and wages have jumped to such an extent that the cost of producing long lumber will be considerably increased. It is stated that a number of the pulp and paper companies have offered higher pay to workers in the 4 4 . g 174 bush and this has compelled the lumber companies to meet the competition. So far as hardwoods are concerned, most wholesalers and mills are busy shipping and prices hold relativ ely high. It is believed that more buying will be doné within the next fey weeks.. Oak remains rather weak but may be expected to firm up soon as a result of the greater demand now developing. Flooring manufacturers are pretty busy and buying plain white and red oak a little more freely, while there is also a fair call from other building trade groups. It is expected that the furniture industry will soon revive after a long period of inactivity. Taking the trade as a whole, the general view is that there will bea steady business during the balonee of the year with little change in present quotations. Trade may be pretty spotty in certain dis- tricts in particular lines but, when volume is taken into consideration, both wholesale and retail firms acknowledge that they have done considerably more business than they did for ‘the corresponding period last year. Collections are reported as being rather slow. St. John Dealers Look for Trade Revival A recent report from across the border said that the market had further declined and is now $6 to $8 per thousand below the peak. One local dealer commenting on this said that his firm are not mak- _ ing contracts at present because it is not poss.ble, in view of existing conditions, to name a price with the surety of a satisfactory market - for the producer. Other manufacturers are not so pessimistic and are looking for- ward to a good demand in the near future. Laths are finding some strength and the demand is already starting to pick up. This leads some to believe that building operations are soon to be resumed and as the stocks over the line are said to be low they will have to be replenished. Although somewhat disappointed with the present de- mand certain dealers believe in the probability of a revival this month. _ The call for boards is not very great at the present time as the surroundings apparently have a tendency to make purchasers cautious. Laths continue to attract attention. ‘The prices are still advan- cing in some localities but in St. John the figure remains as pre- viously published $6.50. 1 5/8 laths are scarce and as a result the price for this partic- ular size is soaring. The demand for shingles is quiet at the present time but during the next two months this line is expected to pick up and show marked strength. The prices at present remain unchanged, but it would not be surprising if they start a fluctuation in the near future. Ottawa Business Remains About the Same Conditions in the Ottawa lumber market showed no marked improvement during the opening period of September. Business on the whole was slow, slower in fact than had been anticipated by dealers during the latter part of July and the opening period of August. Orders and inquiries from United States yards could only be considered as fair even considering the season of the year. Word reached local dealers that American western lumber operators had put into effect another price reduction that amounted to anywhere up to $10 per M, and that several U.S. eastern yards were buying the western ‘stocks, instead of taking Ottawa Valley stock. Another phase of the situation, according to local dealers was that special quotations were given on sizes and stock suitable for dressing by the western operatives. Local sellers did not make any attempt to alter their grades or specifications, but preferred to stand on the old standard of stock lines. Notwithstanding the reported cut by the western dealers and their attempt to undersell the eastern dealers, the prices of the Valley manufacturers remained firm and there was no indication of weakening in any grades. Production costs, it was represented to the correspondent of the “Canada Lumberman,” did not warrant a slashing of existing quotations to compete in the eastern United States market with those of the western dealers. “It appears the western manufacturers have been cutting their heads off, and have got out more stock than they can dispose of in their own territory. Let them cut their heads off for a while, their forests cannot last forever,” was the comment of one of the leading Ottawa Valley manufacturers in regard to the existing situation. The labor situation in regard to the wood camps did not show any improvement, the number of men offering to go to the camps “ as fio ioe fay ty ae 8 CANADA LUMBERMAN- — ee os. being very small, and in several ‘cases ‘not up to the standard. was no further advance in wages put into effect: Bae ae Conditions with the woodworking plants and factories did: not show any change. Other factors relating to ae market, remained — the same. : How Will J apanese Disaster Affect Lumber There is considerable interest aroused in lumber circles over what effect the recent earthquake in Japan, with its heavy toll of life and property, will have upon the Canadian lumber situation. The horrors of the Japanese disaster are not yet fully revealed. While | much of Tokio remains, Yokohama no longer exists and many on ‘ towns were destroyed. é Of late years a large trade has been done by British Columb: af with the Japanese Empire and if the recovery in economic conditions — is rapid in Japan, the immediate effect upon the forest products — industry may not be seriously felt, but if reconstruction and a me , ment are slow, then it is difficult to tell what will result. . The timber trade may receive a temporary setback as large quan- — tities of cedar logs and square timber suitable for piling was disposed — of by British Columbia mills to the residents of the Flowery Eng: ; dom. a hI a There are various rumors heard in respect to the Canadian Gov- | ernment presenting several million feet to Japan for reconstruction ~ purposes but such rumors at the time of writing lack confirmation. In the twelve months ended March 31 last Canada shipped 30,000 ~ M. bd. ft. of cedar logs, valued at $725,000; 2,000 cords of shingles, valued at $40,000; 18,000 M. bd. ft. of fir planks and boards, valued at — $532,000; 4,000 M. bd. ft. of hemlock planks and boards, valued at — $98,000; six M. bd. ft. of spruce planks and boards, valued at $560, and 2,900 M. bd. ft. of other planks and boards valued at $74,000. There was also shipped to Japan from Canada 13,000 M. bd. it. of Douglas fir square timbers, valued at $292,000; and 3,400 M. bd. it. of other square timbers, valued at #32000. “This represents a sub-— stantial source of revenue to the Canadian timber industry, and the effect of the earthquake on this trade will be watched with interest. Production About Equal to Demand In spite of the seasonal quietness there has been no serious drop in prices. There have been recessions at certain points but, on the whole, the mill averages register little change, says the Vancouver Lumber Co. The Fall holds out possibilities of fairly active business, and it is reasonable to believe that the present levels will be main- tained. The mills have no heavy stocks. To-day’s production seems about equal to the demand. Instead of overproduction as a pos- sibility, with subsequent price re-action, the prospect is for the estab- lishment of an equilibrium at approximately present levels. Export business has fallen slightly in the West. Coast mills look with reasonable confidence to the prairie provinces to come into the market. Speculation on the wheat crop is rife. It is generally agreed that the crop will be large. The price for which it sells, how- ever, is of more importance. Should the yield equal moderate expectation, and the price not weaken seriously, the Prairie farmer should have a net return that will take care of his debts and leave a surplus. No wave of heavy buying from the West is expected, but there are sound grounds for good business. / The question of industry in Europe resuming ‘normal conditions with the customary demand for wheat, copper, etc., from this coun-- j try, depends upon settlement of the reparation problem. It seems unlikely that any immediate agreement will be reached. Primarily, France wants the submission of Germany rather than reparations. At present France owes the U.S.A. about three billion dollars. Pro- vided she can retain permanent hold upon the Ruhr, with its vast — coal resources, France will remain a first class political power. To ~ surrender control of the Ruhr would mean a serious set-back, and ~ as long as Poincare can resist English diplomacy, he will do so. The q odds at stake are large. Outside of the Ruhr the continent of Europe has not enough coal to support Germany or any enemy corer France in war. Possession, therefore, of the Ruhr coal mines, means power to France for many years. ‘Poincare may never overcome — the disapproval of England, but if he gains his objective the political power of France will be on a basis stronger than Napoleon was 3 4 able to establish.

The portable sawmill of R. Richard located at Portapique Moun- tain, N.S., was destroyed by fire recently causing a damage loss to machinery of about $1,000. Hugh J. Chisholm, president of the Nashwaak Pulp & Paper Co., St. John, N.B., was in Nova Scotia recently. It is said that his visit was in connection with a deal in which the Nashwaak interests are _ involved. A dowel mill at Diligent River, near Parrsboro, N.S., was burned recently. The plant was owned by G. B. and E. S. Hatfield, of Parrs- boro, and the loss on machinery and lumber was about $8,000, being partially covered by insurance. Official notice has been given by the Hull Electric Co., of Hull, Que., to the effect that it intends to apply for authorization to have constructed a dam on the Gatineau River which is in the townships of Aylwin and Delholm. The plans have been deposited with the _ Minister of Lands and Forests for Quebec. ; At the big fall fair which was held recently at Fort William, - there was an interesting exhibit by the Fort William Paper Co. which revealed the progress of the wood from its native state until it emerges in a neat roll of newsprint paper. L. M. Dougherty, of Toronto, who is widely known in lumber circles, has rejoined the staff of Terry-Nicholson-Cates, Ltd., and is now covering his old ground in Tonawanda, Buffalo and New York State as well as looking after a part of Toronto. The annual meeting of W. Rutherford & Sons Co., Limited, Montreal, was held recently. It is understood that the liquidator _ presented a favorable report indicating that substantial profits were made during the year. The indebtedness to the bank has been _ largely reduced and the position of the company generally improved. The new school of forestry was recently opened at the Govern- ment Nurseries, Berthierville, Que. Only 25 pupils have been ‘admitted this year. There were a very large number of applications but room was available for only a limited number. The director of the school is Henry Roy. The course, including several months of practice and actual field work, will last two years. Logging, as practiced in British Columbia is a wasteful opera- tion. Thirty per cent of the stand of timber remains to rot in the woods as a result of present logging methods. These contentions were emphasized in a special memorandum prepared by Hon. T. D. Pattullo, Minister of Lands, and P. Z. Caverhill, chief forester of the province before the delegates of the Empire Forestry Conference. The Whalen Pulp & Paper Co. are making a rock cut from the sulphite mill at Swanson Bay, B.C., to the lake in order to assure _ that there will be no future shortage of water at the plant. There is . _ plenty of water in the lake but there is no channel through which to _ bring it to the mill and in order to insure precaution against a dry _ season or a shut down, the work now in hand was started. a J. D. Gilmour, woods manager and director of the Anglo-New- _ foundland Development Co., Limited, was a recent visitor to Mon- _treal. Referring to the embargo on pulpwood, he stated that the _ Newfoundland Government prohibited the export of wood although _ two exceptions had been made in instances where the situation of _ the wood rendered it impossible to be used for domestic manufacture. ____A new company is being organized for the purpose of taking LUMBERMAN 175 behind the project and the proposal entails an exchange of new bonds for the first mortgage bonds outstanding and preferred stock for the holders of junior bonds. Two hydroplanes are now engaged in the work of surveying the territory between Thunder River and Natsaquam on the north shore in Quebec province on an area of about 3,000 square miles. The Government of Quebec is seeking to ascertain the value of the forests in that territory. If sufficient quantity of timber is found to be avail- able, that section of the province will be divided into limits which will be sold by auction as is customary by the Department of Lands and Forests. One of the largest sales of pulp timber ever made involving about 3,340,000 cords, is announced by the forest service which has awarded conditionally the pulp timber in the Cascade creek unit, Alaska, to Hutton, McNear & Dougherty of San Francisco. The sale was made on the perpetual timber supply plan by which enough seed trees are left to insure complete natural reproduction and under which, it is believed at least 1,500,000 tons of paper ultimately can be produced annually from Alaskan pulpwood. A leading timber valuator chosen by three B.C. bank managers at the request of Curator Barker, of the Home Bank, is now esti- mating the value of the timber limits at Howe Island and Vancou- ver, held by the Home Bank as security against loans to the Western Canada Pulp and Paper Co., of which H. J. Daly, president of the bank was president, and S. Cosey Wood, a bank director, was a director. Collapse of the market put the company in financial diff- culty, and in April, 1922, the bank interest was defaulted. The Long-Bell Lumber Co. recently made its formal bow to the other lumber interests of the North West at Longview, when it was host to about 125 members of the West Coast Lumbermen’s Association who gathered there for the mid-year convention of the organization. Lumbermen representing over 200 mills or 85 per cent. of the lumber cut in the States of Washington and Oregon, were present. The visitors were shown over the vast project of Longview where miles of streets are being paved, hundreds of resi- dences erected and business houses rising. The Dominion Government Forestry Branch seed extraction plant in New Westminster, B.C., which operated during the winter of 1921-22, will be re-opened during the coming winter, states Ed. Walmsley, Dominion Timber Agent. Orders have been received from the British Government for 3,000 lbs. of Douglas fir and 1,000 Ibs. of Sitka spruce, and New Zealand has placed an order for 1,000 Ibs. of fir. The cone crop this year is not nearly equal to the season of 1921, and Mr. Walmsley anticipates considerable difficulty in securing sufficient fir cones in the Fraser Valley to meet the demands. Picking will commence this month. The log output of British Columbia last year showed an increase of 164,000,000 feet over the total for 1921, according to returns com- pleted and made public by the Hon. T. D. Pattullo, Minister of Lands for British Columbia. The 1922 returns show a scale of 1,645,000,000 feet of saw logs. The total for the year previous was 1,481,000,000 feet. Of the total for last year 1,400,090,000 feet was produced on the coast and 245,000,000 in the interior of the province. Besides the saw log total, Mr. Pattullo announced that there was a production of 10,700,000 lineal feet of poles and piling, 240,000 cords of shingle bolts, staves and wood and 2,544,000 ties. The tie produc- tion in 1921 was 3,856,000 feet. A fire loss of $500,000 was suffered by the B.C. Fir and Cedar Co., False Creek, Vancouver, B.C., recently when fire destroyed the mill, drying sheds, engine house and a large quantity finished material. Considerable damage was also done to the property of the Alberta Lumber Co. The fire was fanned by a strong southwest wind and a fire wall, erected two years ago, was responsible for the ‘comparatively small damage to the latter firm who are neighbors of the B.C. Fir and Cedar ‘Co. The origin of the blaze is not yet known, but as far as can be learned it started in the mill probably under the log carriage. This was the second time the B.C. Fir and Cedar Co. has suffered from fire. Four years ago the plant was totally destroyed with a loss of $250,00. Tabulated building reports covering the entire Dominion for the month of July, made available recently, indicated a decline of about 12 per cent. in building activity, as against the records of June, while a decrease of 18 per cent. in construction work is recorded over the corresponding period last month. Toronto is concerned, a decrease of over $1,000,000 was noted, but building in the suburban districts, while it remained less than during July of 1922, was greater than the month of June by several thousand dollars. Building undertaken in Toronto during the month under review this year was valued at $2,980,105. In June it was $4,032,530, and in July of 1922 it was $3,760,035. 4 So far as >. + then st, %~ a. set s F the “Regina” 176 | CANADA LUMBERMAN | Ste a Mill Co., at Port Coquitlam, B.C., has shut down and will not reopen until the shingle market strengthens. The Whalen Pulp & Paper Mills in British Columbia are all Pitt River Shingle operating to capacity. In the plant at Port Alice a complete oil- burning system has been installed. ; The Canadian Axe & Harvest Tool Mfg. Co., Limited, 1464 St. Patrick St., Montreal, will start work shortly on a new factory at a cost of about $6,000. A. S. Nicholson, of Terry-Nicholson-Cates, Limited, and wife, have been spending a pleasant holiday in Winnipeg and other points West. The report also shows that the situation continues to be improved over that of last year, there being 954 fires for the week ending Aug. 18, as against 2021 for the same period last year. The sawmill of W. E. Owens at Richards Landing, Algoma, Ont., was burned to the ground recently. ‘Lhe total loss was about $25,000 and there was no insurance. The cause of the fire is un- known. The Brunton Lumber Co., of Ottawa, Ont., in eres to their yard and operations in that city, have started a bush operation in the vicinity of Dougias, Ont., and have at the present time a gang of men taking out material. Stuart Lake Shingle Company’s sawmill at Squamish, B.C., with the exception of the boiler house, was totally destroyed by fire recently. The mill was located at the head otf Howe Sound. The loss 1s a heavy one and only partially covered by insurance. The tug “Butterfield” recently left Port Arthur with a raft con- taining 7,5U0 cords of Canadian puipwood. ‘This constitutes the largest single raft on record at the head ot the lakes. ‘he wood was consigned to the Newago Company, Wisconsin Rapids, Wis. A decrease in the cost of fighting forest fires this year as com- pared to last year is recorded in the weekly forest fire report issued by Hon. T. D. Pattullo, minister of lands for British Columbia. The cost this year, approximately $20,000, is but one-seventeenth of that of last year, which was $324,000. Frank Hawkins of Ottawa and Mrs. Hawkins left Montreal on on September Ist for an extended trip to the Old Country. They will visit both England and Scotland. Prior to sailing, Mr. Hawkins called on several of his Montreal lumber friends who wished him bon voyage and a complete recovery to health. The sawmill of the Nolan Lumber Co. at Flagstone, B.C., was destroyed by fire recently. The loss was $10,000, partially covered by insurance. The plant had been put in opeiation recently the mill being completed at the end of July. It is expected that re- building operations will start soon. The will of the late E. S. R. Murray, who died recently at his home in St. John, N.B., at the age of 70 years, was lately admitted to probate. The value of the estate which goes to his five daughters and two sons is $154,826. Mr. Murray was for many years connected with the firm of Murray & Gregory and about sixteen years ago retired from active participation in the business. It is said that the Barnett-McQueen Co., Limited, have been given a contract for the construction of the plant of the Great Lakes Pulp & Paper Co. at Fort William, Ont. The by-law which Fort William submits to the ratepayers under the recent agreement, fixing the assessment of the new concern, will be voted upon in the near future. Harry Towne, of Cobalt, Ont., who has been on the staff of the A. E. Gordon Lumber Co., Toronto, looking after their interests in Northern Ontario, is removing to Toronto. He j is now covering New York, Ohio and other States “for the firm, succeeding L. M. Dough- erty. Mr. Towne has had many years’ practical acquaintance with the lumber industry. The members of the British Empire Forestry Conference who have been making an interview study of the whole forestry situation in Canada, recently made an inspection of the large sawmill plants and logging camps in British Columbia. The visitors were warmly welcomed to the Pacific Coast province by Hon. .T. D. Pattullo, Minister of Lands. The party also witmessed the stands of green timber and lumber manufacturing plants on the Fraser River and Iroquois Falls, Sey were tendered a banquet by the Timber area Connell: last week of the tour of the British Empire Forestry Conference spent on an-inspection of the timber resources and operatio: Vancouver Island and the conference came to a conclusion at. business meeting at Victoria where a formal dinner was tendered the Provincial Government to the travelling foresters. . Acute labor shortage is holding up construction work in North- ern Ontario and the lumbermen are also being hampered in th operations according to Hon. J. Lyons, Minister of Lands and F ests for Ontario. He estimates that some ten thousand men cou be readily absorbed for the winter season. Mr. Lyons attributes th situation largely to so many men going West to assist in harvesting. In establishing a new industry, companies are sometimes fa with the problem of house accommodation for the employees, it being obviously useless to build a large plant without making provision for the housing of the workpeople. The Armstrong- Whitworth Co., of England, have decided to build a small town in connection with the pulp and paper mills to be erected in Newfoundland. The plans | include 800 houses, two schools, a church and theatre. J. J. McFadden, Limited, Spragge, Ont., who was in Toronto. recently on business, states that so far as labor is concerned, it is” scarce and inefficient at the present time, resulting in the production © of lumber at a higher cost than the market justifies. He says that, © owing to the prevailing rate of wages which are in some cases $10 more than last year, it is reported that a number of lumbermen in the north are thinking seriously of curtailing their annualcur F.

He also : suggested that packets of sulphur extinguisher or blasting - pies might be used to advantage. A Fire Prevention League of the Province of Baebes was recently incorporated. Among the incorporators are G. C. Piche, © chief forester of the province. The main purpose of the League are ~ the prevention of fires either in a public or priviate property and to — spread propaganda and circulate literature, etc., having in view (aes 4 suppression of fires of all kinds. The League i is also given eathority 4 to establish clubs in towns and districts which will assist in the work — of educating the public on this important question of protection. The largest train of newsprint that ever arrived in Toronto was — that which came in recently containing 42 cars in all. The consign- — ment consisted of over 1100 tons and the train was drawn by one of the latest type passenger locomotives which the Canadian Pacific Railway recently built at its Angus shop, Montreal. The news- print included consignments to publishers in both Canada and the - United States and was shipped by the-Abitibi Power & Paper Co., — Ont. The trainload represented the cut made on more than 200 acres of pulpwood. ‘ The old Rat Portage sawmill at Harrison Mills, B. oe is being — dismantled by the A. R. “Williams. Machinery Co. who have purchased _ the equipment. The mill was built about twelve years ago and, after — being in operation for two years, was closed down. ‘The reason that , operations at Harrison Mills have been discontinued is because the company is largely interested in the export business which they are better able to handle at the Coast. The Vancouver mill is Baca between 60,900,000 and 70,000,000 feet of lumber per year and is running night and day to keep up with the orders. 4 Recently at the Board of Trade Council at Saul Ste. Matiea committee was appointed to investigate the advisability of the Boal passing a resolution to the effect that the Provincial Government b asked to prohibit the export of hardwood logs and that the Feder Government place an export duty on partly manufactured hardwoo If the committee’s report ig favorable this matter will be further — discussed at a general meeting of the Board which has brought up the subject on several occasions. The question was introduced some time ago by Hon. James Lyons, Minister of Lands and Forests for — Ontario, at the time he retired from the essing 8 of the ae Board of Trade. Sp fe O ar 4 Le is ars alee Ce CANADA President Mead Sounds a Warning Note A plea for closer co-operation between Canada and the United States in regard to the necessity for the elimination of waste in the development of pulpwood resources of North America is made by George H. Mead, president of the Spanish River Pulp and Paper ‘Mills, Ltd., in the current issue of the “Spur.” Mr. Mead tells the readers of the “Spur” that, next to foodstuffs, paper is probably the ‘most necessary commodity of today’s civilization from the point of view of consumption. - “In this line of industrial development,” writes Mr. Mead, ‘“Can- ada realizes her natural good fortune, and with that soundness of judgment and steadiness of mind that has characterized the history of her development as a nation, combined with the intimacy and real friendliness she feels toward her neighbor, the United States will be properly and well secured in the position of consumer so long as _ Canada can provide the product.” The concern of America, according to Mr. Mead, should not be Canada’s possible control of newsprint supply but the fact of. a diminishing supply upon the continent of the basic raw material— pulpwood. 2 “It is inconceivable,” continues Mr. Mead, “that a condition should arise between the two great English-speaking nations that is not mutually advantageous and agreeable, but unless there develops a greater understanding of the fundamentals in the paper indus- try and the necessity for allowing for conservation and the replenish- ment of woodlands and the elimination of waste, the United States will find itself dependent not upon a most friendly and interested next-door neighbor for its supply of paper but on overseas and foreign producers that may very well materially affect stability of an other- _ wise sound situation.” Riordon Reorganization is Almost Complete It is understood that the Riordon reorganization plan which provides $10,009,000 of new capital for this enterprise, has been underwritten by a syndicate of banking houses, including Parkinson and Burr, Coffin and Burr, Inc., and E. H. Rollins & Sons, all of Boston, Mass., and Royal Securities Corporation, Limited, of Mon- _treal, and associated underwriters, to the extent of $8,000,000. _ Underwriters are understood to include many of the most prominent _ pulp and paper and lumber operators in Canada, and a considerable - amount of English capital has been forthcoming in support of the reorganization. It is further understood that negotiations which have been taking _ place during the last few months between the various banking houses interested in the reorganization committees of bondholders _ tepresenting the eight per cent. first mortgage and six per cent. gen- _ eral mortgage bonds, and creditors of the company, have reached a _ point where, within a few days’ time, a definite reorganization plan _ will be announced. Soe Riordon has over 5,000 shareholders in Canada, the United States and Great Britain, most of whom still retain their original investment in the company’s securities, so that it will be readily _ understood that the announcement of the reorganization plan is _ looked forward to with more than usual interest. if Northern Ontario Resources at the Exhibition : An interesting exhibit at the Canadian National Exhibition Toronto, and one which attracted a great deal of attention, was made in the Government Building by the Department of Lands and Forests under the personal direction of Hon. James Lyons, Minister of Lands and Forests. Two separate log Cabins covered with moss and situ- ated beside a running brook, marked the centre of the exhibit. Immediately in front of the building was a complete fire rangers’ camp manned by members of the Forest Fire Fighting Service of the province, ‘ _ Another thing which possessed special appeal consisted of a dam and ten beavers surrounded by conditions similar to those which op ¥y TAAL, ty ‘a , LUMBERMAN CRRSRRELSL OA EET ATTRA et oh bot oo EST RO et rete rr ret haunts of the animals. There also an obtain in the native exhibit of pulpwood in various stages of preparation for the market, while a group of Indians from a Northern reserve were shown en- Was gaged in the fabrication of birch bark canoes. Particular attention was also paid to the Natural History Section where wild life of animals were shown. Empire Foresters Saw Black Spruce The members of the Empire Forestry Conference recently visited Iroquois Falls and were much interested in the different operations at the plant of the Mattagami Pulp & Paper Co. One of the visitors was A. C. Forbes, of the Forestry Branch, Department of Agricul- ture, Dublin, Ireland, who is the first official representative of the new Irish Government to pay a yisit to Canada. The travelling foresters had seen white spruce and balsam in the Maritime provinces, white pine at Temagami, hardwoods at Algonquin Park and they were very anxious to see a virgin stand of black spruce. On the run up on the railway they were taken over the new spur to Edwards Lake, passing through an excellent type of black spruce bush in which they were much interested. Pacific Coast Expects More Pulp Mills If the Canadian Government brings into effect an embargo on the export of pulpwood, one of the first results, it is predicted, will be establishment of more pulp and paper mills in British Columbia. These have been under consideration but the men behind them have hesitated to order actual construction for one reason or another. That is the belief of many business men, government experts and others who have given the subject close study in the western part of Canada. American capital is already heavily interested in B. C. pulp and paper enterprises and, within the last few months there has been talk of American money establishing several other mills, It is held that an embargo on pulpwood exports would be the decisive factor in bringing matters to a head. Ontario Paper Co. is Branching Out The Ontario Paper Co., of Thorold, Ont., which is owned by ; the Chicago Tribune, has developed a subsidiary organization under the name of the Daily News Paper Corporation. This has a Dela- ware charter and plans to erect a $3,000,000 newsprint mill on the New York side at Little Island, North Tonawanda. The island con- tains 13 acres and has been bought for $500,000 from Carlton M. Smith, owner of Smith-Fassett Lumber Co. The report of the trans- action was confirmed recently by Warren Curtis, general manager of the Ontario company, who will supervise the construction of the new plant, plans for which have already been completed and con- tracts let, it is rumored. Work will be begun within a fortnight. It is further understood that announcement may be made shortly of the acquisition of extensive pulp limits in Quebec by the Ontario Paper ‘Co: Will Put Big Limit on Market The Quebec provincial government will develop a North Shore region and establish definitely there the pulp industry which would help in giving the residents of that coast, in addition to fisheries, per- manent means of earning their living. As far as Quebec is concerned, it was learned this morning that the lease of those limits will be preliminary to the establishment of a lumber mill as forecast several months ago by Premier Taschereau. The exact location of the new mill has not yet been divulged, but it is stated that it will be one of the most important constructed in the province and wiil give employment to a large number of men. Coincident with this report it is also reported in semi-official circles that a large pulp and paper mill is to be built early next spring in Chicoutimi and Lake St. John district. oe ~~"? | a *, TORONTO White Pine (In Car Load Lots, F.O.B. cars Toronto) WH WW WD we texa/7 Good Strips’ sche as $110.00 $115.00 1% & 1% x 4/7 Good Strips... 135.00 140.00 1 x 8 and up Good Sides .... 155.00 165.00 Bex 64/7), Good.

In connection with lumber, the question arises in the minds of some consumers of white pine, why prices on this particular kind of wood goods should be so much higher than they were in 1913. Of course, the quatations on all lines of forest products have ascended owing to higher wages, greater overhead, increased freight rates, sales tax, larger salaries, etc., but it is argued that white pine is considerably in excess or out of proportion to the advances that have taken place in other softwoods, One large firm, which have been heavy distributors, stated recently that, on an exhaustive inquiry, they found that 90 per cent of the purchasers who buy large quantities were for lower prices, a few for stationary values while those who favored higher figures could be counted on the fingers of two hands. Two-thirds of those entering the market were pur- chasing for pressing requirements only and the number who were stocking up for some months ahead was really very small. It is contended that the desire to stock up in large quanti- ties has been taken away and the outcome has been a decreas- ed demand for white pine lumber. One inquirer declares white pine farnber is much higher than it was in 1913 just before the war. Is it not a fact that . prices are from 50 to 60 per cent in advance?” he asks “and why is it?” Concerning white pine quotations of ten years ago and today, the ‘Canada Lumberman” would be pleased to receive and publish information on any one of the subjoined ques- tions and believes that the proper way to get at the facts is that figures should be applied to the operations of 1,000 feet of white pine in 1913 and then apply the same item of cost to 1,000 feet of white pine lumber in 1923, together with information as to the cost of the coming season’s cut as com- pared with that of last season. Loading Logs is Greatest A very interesting study of the dangers, mild and acute, attendant upon lumbering operations has been made by the _ Bureau of Standards of the Department of Commerce and has been issued under the title of Logging and Sawmill Safety Code. It deals with the felling of timber, transporta- tion of logs by skidding, river driving, roads, railroads, etc. The use of donkey engines and boilers, storage and use of explosives, making of dimensioned lumber and operations of dry kilns are also discussed. It develops the fact that the loading and unloading of logs is one of the most prolific sources of accidents in the industry. Heavy logs are apt to start unexpectedly. This danger may be largely removed by the use of mechanical loading and unloading devices and their use is recommended. Handling the logs across skids of sufficient height so as to permit a man to dodge beneath is a safety factor of prime importance. Next in point of danger is the felling of standing timber Lawyer Who Runs Northern Lumber Mill At Fort Simpson, N.W.T., 1135 miles north of Edmon- ton by rail and river steamer the federal government operates a sawmill for the benefit of the river settlements. It is man- aged by W. T. Harris, who in addition to being a lumberman government experi- mental farm manager, mining recorder, magistrate, and a few other things. The logs shown are sawn on the Liard river and floated down to the mill which is at the junction of that stream with the Mackenzie. Logging is distinctly of the hand variety; the trees are sawn on the edge of the bank and the logs when sawn flopped in, and rafted down. The only animals available for logging are the oxen be- me" CANADA LUMBERMAN Ascending Value of White Pine Lumber and Why? Here are some of the queries which will be found both pertinent and instructive :— 1. The cost of standing white pine timber in 1913 compared with the cost today of a given area. 2. The approximate labor cost of| skidding logs in 1913 and the approximate cost of today. 3. The cost of camp supplies figured in the cost of boarding a man per day in 1913 and the approxi- mate cost of today. 4. The cost of hauling logs to the water in 1913 and the cost today. 5. The cost of driving logs to the mill in 1913 and the cost today per M plus loss in towing which might be estimated as the same as far as percent- age is concerned. 6. The labor cost of manufacturing into lumber in 1913 and the cost today. 7. The cost of mill repairs per M feet in 1913 and the cost today. 8. The overhead cost in 1913 as compared with the cost today. In connection with white pine prices a leading lumber- man stated that while purchasers might tbe looking for a drop, it certainly appeared as if the wish was the father to the thought. An inquiry made among the trade carries the conviction that the present values of ‘white pine are at rock bottom and that increased figures are bound to come for next year’s stock. One reason for this is that men now being hired for the bush are demanding and getting from 10 to 20 per cent more money than last year. Mill wages have been raised; men are scarce and restless and are far from being efficient. There are many other contributing causes which will be referred to in later editions of the “Canada Lum- berman.” Hazard in Lumber Line and the kick-back of the butt. This danger may be elimin- ated by the use of what is known as the “V notch” method of cutting. In this, two notches are cut instead of one, and they are sloped steeply downward meeting near the roots. This leaves a solid core of wood to prevent the butt from kicking back. Dynamite is something that commands the respect of those who value life and its vicissitudes. Unfortunately the “shooter” is not always impressed with thoughts of this sort and his neglect to give proper regard to the amenities of handling dynamite oft-times results disastrously. Other dangers include the rolling down hill of logs, the breaking of tools in use, unexpected falling of “hung up” trees and last but not least that of forest fires. The application of a little good, common sense at all times will do more toward mitig- ating the hazards of lumbering than any other one thing. It is worth bringing to the attention of your men and it is de- sirable that a supply of these booklets be ordered and dis- tributed where they will do the most good. longing to the mission, and to obtain these the lumberjack must have a “stand in,” while he is forbidden to “cuss.” No one can drive oxen under such stringent regulations, so hand logging is the vogue. Repairs to the engine or mill are all made at home, and though some of these would shock the righteous millwright, the little rig keeps going and is a boon to the fur trade settle- ments. “Somebody’s stenog.” wants to know when is a knot whole, anyway. A knot hole, dear; is not a knot, neither is it a whole knot, but it is more like a knot that is not whole, or a knot that is not there any more, but was there once; if a knot is not wholly whole, it is not a knot, Rye CANADA LUMBERMAN Continental Wood Products Co. | Elsas, Ontario —Lumber, Ties—— _ Laths, Shingles, Cedar Poles, Pulpwood a — In addition to producing the above, the Company will shortly proceed with the erection of the largest and most up-to-date kraft mill in the world.

BAS ‘ ca phe i? f At * ; we i } ouy el is be ax ye + ate ay PA ATH EeT PG MRT er RT EE ee es te : ar heal | Life and the Problem of Home Owning _, A leading lumber firm in recent advertising pointed out the fallacy of confusing the unessential things with the necessities of ' present-day life and not to mistake the urgency of what is worth while. The fact was stressed that coming under the latter category is the suggestion of owning a home. The remarks upon the urgency of present-day livng are worth perusing and a general observa- tion on the lumber industry and its outlook cannot be more fittingly ‘concluded than with the following :— Life today is an urgent thing. We are supposedly a practical people, but are we? confuse the unessential with the necessities? For instance, our eyes have bothered us, we can not see as well ‘as we should to write, read, and sew, we consult an oculist, he recom- _mends glasses. Do we obey? Some times we do. ' Most times we don’t. We begin to count the cost, to our pockets (not to our sight), because getting glasses is not the simple thing it used to be in days _ gone by. _ We first must see the doctor. He needs to live also. Then we ‘are examined and tested and re-examined, and then told what sort of glasses we need to see straight and we ultimately decide that to part with a week’s salary is too much, and we put off the evil day, as a non-essential. We confound the urgency and fool ourselves into a quiescent state, by telling our wide-awake conscience that there’s time enough to put on glasses when we get older and all _ because we do not find it convenient to pay out the money. In our foolishness of trivial urge, we forget real necessities. _~ But when we were last at the automobile show, and saw that - wonderful car that pleased us so much, did not our minds work over- time to make of it a practical want? ‘ Mary and Sadie would derive so much benefit by being in the - open air. Father would certainly make more money, by being earlier to business. Mother could save money, in household efficiency, by - going to market herself, and who knows, since we can not see the _ inner workings of the mind, that the neighbors would not be jarred stiff when they saw this car backing up to the door. This sort of snobbery plays a great part in some minds, although they miss the fact that folks in general have no time to be jealous of their neigh- bors’ good, for they are planning to make their neighbors jealous in _ their turn, and so whilst the urgency of real life is overlooked, the trivial and inconsequential gets its innings. 3 It is really hard to define the thing that is urgent and the thing _ that is not, as we are living in an age that is not original but imita- tive, therefore we confound the unreal with the real. But we know _ one thing that has the real urge—that is a home of one’s own. __.__ From there emanates all that is real—it is the place from whence _ history is written. The man or woman who owns a home of his or her own, is an asset to country and state. Too many essentials in the _ home for one to go wrong, or to mistake the urgency of what is worth _ while. 3 Do not fail to recognize the urgency and constructive force that _ surrounds a home of your own.

The lumber and pulpwood trades are very closé together and the expansion of the pulp and paper sections has had a marked influence on the lumber business, especially where com- panies are engaged in lumbering and in manufacturing pulp and paper. The present price of newsprint is $75 per ton, under contract, and about $80 per ton for spot lots. The time is not far off for settling the quotation for 1924 and the question arises as to whether or not there will be an increase. There are three main considerations which will probably influ- ence those who are responsible for the price—the price of pulpwood, competition and the possibility of a decrease in the demand should the price be increased. It may be taken for granted that there will be no embargo on the export of pulpwood for many months, and possibly not during the existance of the present government. The demand for our supplies has indicated a strong upward tendency and it is probable that there will be a still further advance in price. The value of other raw materials entering into the manufacture of news- print is also rising. The United States is the chief customer for Canadian paper which has to meet in that market the competition of European countries and also, of course, American mills. The chances are that Europe will send little, if any, more than at present, while Canadian mills, with the advantage of proximity to the sources of pulpwood supply and cheap electrical power, have proved their ability to more than hold their own in competion with American mills, particularly those who are dependent upon Canadian wood. The other point has relation to the demand. Canadian mills have always considered that it is a sound policy to charge a price which will stimulate production as the mills are only profitable when a certain percentage of output is attained. In view, however, of the rise in costs, it is likely that the companies will find its neces- sary to advance their price. The view is that the companies must obtain a price which will not only give a fair return on the capital invested but must enable them to set aside an appreciable amount for the upkeep of the limits. Unless this is done, the present forest resources will be rapidly depleted with the result that the future price will, of necessity, be raised to a point far exceeding that now ruling. The forest fires have made considerable inroads on the - limits of the pulp and paper companies, and provision must be made for this depreciation. It is understood that some of the American publishers will not oppose an advance in the price of newsprint, recognizing that a de- — pendable source of supply is the first consideration and that this can- not be assured unless money is available for keeping up the sources of the raw material and that, consequently, the producing companies must obtain such a price for the finished article as will enable them to pay a moderate dividend and to take measures for the conserva- tion of the limits. The circumstances favor a higher price for newsprint in 1924, although it must not be overlooked that the policy of the big Ameri- can mills exercises a strong influence in this connection. Having regard to the advance in operating costs and to the fact that pulp- wood is almost certain to go up next season, the probabilities are that American and Canadian mills will fall in line as far as the new price is concerned. Many companies across the border are working on a small margin and would welcome a higher price. Release by auction of a large area of timber limits located on the north shore of the province of Quebec where surveying is now being carried on by hydroplane for the Lands and Forests Depart- ment, will take place next fall.

The Fire Situation Must Be Faced A campaign will extend over three months, in the interests of fire prevention in Northern Ontario, has been arranged by Robson Black, manager of the Canadian Forestry Associatinn “~-. Black was recently in Port Arthur in connection with the work, and says that forest fires in Ontario during the past summer had destroyed five or ten times the amount of timber put to use by all the mills in Ontario. Mr. Black added that he had the report of one company that lost 500,000 cords of pulpwood due directly to carelessness of prospectors setting out fires in the woods. One other company lost 50,000,000 feet of pine. Perhaps the most serious was that in which an Ontario firm lost in one week’s time enough pine to keep the com- pany’s mill going for fifty-six years. “We have come to the point where we have got to face the cold facts with regard to forest fire prevention. At the present rate of waste the forests of Ontario will be depleted in twenty years,” said Mr. Black. “If fires continue at the pace of this summer, Ontario is going to face a large exodus of population attached to the wood users. It will mean that scores of towns in the province will cease to exist as towns which are now dependent on the produce of the forest for existence.” Interesting Display of Lumber Products at Fair A miniature bungalow, uniqite and attractive in design, provided the centre of interest at the display made by the British Columbia Lumber Commission at the Canadian National Exhibition, Toronto. The interior of the bungalow was attractively furnished and finished in various British Columbia woods such as fir, cedar, hemlock and larch. The outside of the structure was covered with shingles made from British Columbia red cedar. In addition to that various articles the products of British Columbia Lumber were shown. These included boxes of various kinds, paper and pulp products, panelling, furniture, staves, and other articles to which British Columbia woods are well adapted. Educational literature was freely exhibited with an idea of showing the adaptability of Western woods, and also giving information of both a technical and a practical nature, with regard to their use and the various ways in which they can be finished. Splendid and attractive exhibits were made by a number of enterprising firms whose products are well known to the retail and building trades. Among the exhibitors were Seaman-Kent Co., Toronto, hardwood flooring; Satin Finish Hardwood Flooring, Lim- ited, Weston; Seaman-Eaton Flooring Co., Limited, Toronto; Buy- er’s Door & Mfg. Co., Toronto; R. Laidlaw Lumber Co., Toronto; Kent Ockley, Limited, Toronto, and Pannill Door Co., Toronto. The booths of these firms were all in the Process Building and aroused much interest. ey wee 186 CANADA LUMBERMAN FIRE INSURANCE Unequalled Facilities Protection - +- Service —- Saving TO Lumbermen E.

There are improvements in methods of production, ‘distribution and uses, credits, collections and conceptions. Men are coming closer together and co-operating in the affairs of the indus- try. The association spirit is stronger to-day than it was and friend- ‘ship holds a larger place among the exponents of this far-flung ‘calling. In the rank and file there is now a disposition to do ‘business in the open and on the square, to be. fairminded ‘and ‘straight-forward. The days of trying to put something over on the other fellow or giving him the double cross are passing. As like begets like, so do firms which.achieve and maintain a certain stand- ‘ard of ethics and service continue to expand and develop, while those ‘concerns, which are mere self-seekers, fall by the wayside. They may, apparently, flourish for a time but in the end they are forced to give up the struggle. The community spirit is growing also and the lumber industry has played its share in this development. It is recognized that knocking competitors and institutions has never paid. It is a practice which is expiring amid the evergrowing spirit of tolerance and wood-will. It is the same, too, in knocking an indus- iry or the general market situation. _ Confidence and co-operation are the basis of all transactions and, if those who want to see everything turn out for the best, only come together and use their earnest efforts to set matters aright and er the industry over the present period there is no doubt that the oming year will witness another step toward returning to normal nditions after the cataclysm of five years’ hostilities abroad. _ The world’s supplies of wood are diminishing and the uses of it wey ii as ee ‘es CANADA LUMBERMAN t UE whem, wabausiniareae | UDS Aiey Thin, | 3-123 General Motors Building Detroit, Michigan ?

Home Office Vermont, St. Johnsbury gradually being displaced by other materials and is consequently becoming less important. Such a conception constitutes an econ- omic error. ‘The purposes to which woods are being continually put more than counteract the substitution of other offerings. The chief danger in the lumber industry to-day lies not so much in lack of demand or supply, the present level of prices or means of distribution but the fact that Canadians are only awakening to the impending danger of a dearth in timber resources and are only begin- ning to realize what this fully means. A national survey of all the wooded resources of the Dominion, a concerted and systematic plan of reforestation, more rigid regula- tions in regard to the cutting and clearing of limits, improved methods in fighting forest fires, more scientific logging operations and other issues are calling for greater consideration and more ex- haustive enquiry. The claims of the future are insistent and it is only by giving thought to vast national problems that Canada will retain her premier place and her people remain a conspicuously com- ponent part of the great British Empire. Many municipal, provincial, national and other bodies are doing a_worthy work in bringing about a better understanding of the real situation relating to Canadian forests and a more complete co-opera- tion between the public and those whose duty it is to protect the national domain. ‘This is a job in which all classes can take a hand. It is an enterprise which affects practically every avenue of the com- mercial, industrial, social and educational life of the Dominion. The present is no time either for undue optimism or sordid pes-~ simism but one in which an aggressive course should be mapped out and adhered to. - ae ee ee ee Pat) t 1. oe > ats als. Nt CANADA LUMBERMAN™ ' New times demand new measures: the world ad- vances, and in time out- | . grows the laws that in our fathers’ day were best. James Russell Lowell half century ago the fathers and grandfathers of the LUMBERMEN of today knew of no way to protect their properties against FIRE WASTE except through the purchase—at double and triple the RATES now available—of the necessary FIRE INDEMNITY. What would have been , the surprise of the pioneers in the lumber-making industry to have found in . te their mail a dividend cheque, such as is quoted in the following letter, re- presenting a substantial saving on their FIRE INSURANCE PREMIUM? “The Lumbermens Underwriting Alliance June 20, 1923 546 Confederation Life Bldg. Toronto, Ontario For attention of L. D. Payette, Chief Agent for Canada Gentlemen: We hace just received your cheque for $1,381.07 in full liquidation of the saving on insurance premium deposits paid to you during the time we were operating the Little Current Lumber Co., Little Current, Ontario. I find we paid you gross premium deposits of $5,732.15 and in addition to the surplus saving cheque of $1,381.07 just received, you previously re- - turned us dividends amounting to $581.91, which makes the very substantial saving of 34.24%. When we were operating the mill at Little Current we always welcomed the visits of your inspectors because we found that they were able to make a great many valuable suggestions for the improvement of our property from a fire prevention standpoint. Again thanking you for the substantial saving effected for us and for nos the service you were able to render us while we were operating, we are th . Yours very truly LITTLE CURRENT LUMBER COMPANY, Max G. Witthauer, President.” The progressive lumberman of today has turned from the old-time costly fire indemnity sources just as he has discarded the methods of heating, light- ing, communication and transportation which served the needs of fifty years ago. Growing necessity led to study, experimentation, SUCCESS. Ways were devised to reduce the fire loss ratio on lumber properties and a decrease in the cost of fire insurance followed automatically. A pioneer in the work of fire prevention and rate reduction. The Lumbermen’s Underwriting Alliance Will be glad to explain methods and results ; U. S. Epperson Underwriting Company KANSAS CITY, MO.

But—what about its PERFORMANCE after months of service? All chains LOOK somewhat alike — but they don’t all ACT alike. There’s a difference in chains—and it isn’t al- ways apparent on the surface. Chain is really good when it gives good service. Performance, long life, reliable trouble-free ser- vice—that’s good chain. And what makes “good” chain? Inbuilt values! Skilled workmen, the proper use of raw mate- rials, the correct design, expert molding, anneal- ing, rigid tests and inspections—a few steps in chain making which must be conscientiously applied. It is these “inbuilt values” that result in reliable chain performance. Link-Belt has had fifty years’ experience in chain making. This trademark >< appears on every link of genuine Link-Belt chain. It is the standard by which chain values are measured the world over. Send for new book No. 660, showing the com- plete line of Link-Belt equipment for saw mills.

The stick is firmly held and the head rises and falls with the variations of the stick being peeled. Crooked sticks can be peeled as well as straight, which is in itself a considerable advantage. ; Actual Test of September 20th, 1920 In a recent demonstration at Colby in the presence of G. F. Higgins of Presque Isle, representing the Stebbins _ Lumber Co., of Boston, and G B. ~~ Burr of Bangor, Me., 40 pieces of ‘ wood, which made one-half a cord, ranging in size from 4 to 13 inches in diameter. Girting them before ross- ing, they measured 998 inches, and after rossing, they measured 920 in circumference. This was well knotted wood, some of which was quite out of round. Piling this in a rick it measured 52 inches high before ross- ing, as the State laws require, and after rossing it measured 46 inches, a net loss of only 2 inches, as the wood is sold four feet high. : <— y Pe f/ Prices and full particulars gladly forwarded upon request.

Beginning more than _ three- quarters of a century ago, Wa- terous equipment has consis- tently shown the way with new improvements in design and construction. “Efficiency with economy” has been the watch- word of Waterous engineers, and their success in this direc- tion can be found in practically every mill in Canada. And, not only in this country, but in the far corners of the globe—India, Australia, New Zealand, Straits Settlements, South America—Waterous equipment is the popular choice. sf it ,CANADA & wt 203 - ve CANADA LUMBERMAN PIONEERS IN BANDMILL CONSTRUCTION From the time Waterous introduced the first satisfactory Bandmill into Canada in 1890, successive models have maintained their supremacy by reason of the con- tinuous improvements in their design and construction. The “New Model” Band- mill combines many exclusive features, such as the tilting device, improved guides and columns, specially built lower wheel and, again the tensioning device. These prolong the life of both machines and Saws, speed up the work and cut operating costs. They are some of the reasons why 255 Waterous Bandmills have been purchased. CANADA LUMBEPMAN 205 WATEROUS EDGERS Probably the most convincing proof we can put forward in support of our claim that Waterous Edgers produce better lumber at lower cost is this: “More than three hun- dred of these machines are now at work in mills throughout Canada, many of which are repeat orders.” Performance counts.

So successful has been their per- formance that practically all users of the machine, when in the market for additional surfacers of this type, have re-ordered 177s. This is a gratifying fact. Here is an important detail of its construction. Eight inch feed rolls, exceptionally large for a surfacer of this type, are furnished on the 177 and make possible a very powerful feed. These rolls successfully will feed to any cut which the machine might be called upon to take. 7 Then too, Yates 177 has various other exclusive features which make it exceedingly accessible and easy to operate.

The Linn Logging Tractor can be seen at the extreme right LINN LOGGING TRACTOR When a Linn Logging Tractor commences operation with a new user, our instructor goes in — with it, and remains, without further charge for a period of two weeks, and thoroughly in- structs the designated operator in the operation, care, maintenance and repair of the Linn an hae Logging Tractor. 2 3 ee Our instructors are experienced men in the log haul as well as mechanically—they are thes . operator’s assurance of success, and we cannot afford, any more than can the user, to have an operation, where a Linn Logging Tractor is in operation, other than a ety ce success. The writer of this aavedhi cueae was talking toa large operator, who is a Linn Logging Trac- ; tor user, and this gentleman was relating an experience he had at a recent meeting of Lumber- men that was held in Toronto—this operator in question told the writer of some discussions — regarding the Linn Logging Tractor, by these gentlemen, and of his telling them what he had accomplished last season with his machine—and he said to the writer, “Do you know I rather: had the feeling that they thought I was exaggerating”—and the writer took ocassion to remind this operator of the time, when the writer was telling him what the Linn Logging Tractor would do for him, that he thought the writer was telling fairy tales. The performance of the Linn Logging Tractor is the same wherever you find it—a success ae beyond the expectation of the man who owns it. “‘Ask the. logger who uses one’’ —Logging Department— MUSSENS LIMITED Philips Place Building : xe Montreal he "~ ak oe ae Fe eek eR Or ae : ae CANADA LUMBERMAN The illustration appearing above shows a Linn Logging Tract or equipped with Pulp wood rack, having a capacity for four cords of four foot wood LINN LOGGING TRACTOR Where the operator is hauling logs, we supply double bolsters, 10’ long, inside, and having a capacity of 1750’, or about 3'4 cords. The Linn Logging Tractor comes equipped with both sled and wheel steerage—the wheel steer- age enables the operator to utilize his Linn Logging Tractor, also, for partaging—the Linn Logging Tractor with a platform mounted on bolsters or pulp wood rack, has a carrying cap- acity of itself, of ten tons, entirely in addition to the trailer loads it hauls behind it. The Linn Logging Tractor has Electric Lights, with generator and storage batteries as well as closed and heated cab over the driver’s seat. | Every detail of the design and construction of the Linn Logging Tractor has been developed with the thought for convenience and usefulness in logging—it was designed exclusively for log hauling—it was developed on actual logging operations—and its unparalleled success in this work is one of the rewards for the thought devoted to its development. The writer of this advertisement was recently in a city in the Maritimes, just leaving the hotel to visit one of the largest operators in New Brunswick—he met two Linn users who had just arrived from the States and one of these gentlemen asked what he was doing there—upon re- ceiving his reply the American user said, “I’ve been using Linn for five years—tell your man to ask me—I’l] tell him.” “‘Ask the logger who uses one”’ —Logging Department— MUSSENS LIMITED Philips Place Building Montreal 216 CANADA LUMBERMAN Head Office: MONTREAL STROUD WOOD PULVERIZER AN EFFICIENT METHOD AND MACHINE FOR MAKING WOOD FLOUR FROM SAWDUST, SHAVINGS, PLANER CHIPS, AND OTHER WASTE WOOD OF FEED SIZE. | A VERY PROFITABLE DISPOSITION OF THESE PRODUCTS OPERATES CON- TINUOUSLY WITH VERY LITTLE ATTENTION.

First, because it can improve the output of those mills, and, second, because it can increase the profits of the owners of those mills. The heaviest and most rigid Bandmill on the market We can readily prove this statement to any interested mill owner—at no obliga- tion, of course.

GOODHUE BELTING “Extra” “Standard” “Acme” — “Waterproof” Poor belts are a constant expense, because they grow slack, waste power and finally have to be “taken up”, which means a shut-down. Goodhue Belting eliminates this needless waste of time and money because the stretch is taken out before the belt leaves us. In addition, only the toughest hides and the most modern tanning process, are used in their manufacture, which lengthens the life. All stretcher ends are cut off, leaving a belt which will work under the most difficult conditions. Ask our belting experts to prescribe the proper belt for your transmission troubles. No obligation at all. J. L. GOODHUE & CO. LIMITED Danville, Que.

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

( edie sti ra wv) \. os Pioneer and Leader in the industry } Vol. 43 p Yd At the last annual meeting of the Can- -adian Lumbermen’s Association my fellow- _ members conferred upon me the highest gift ‘in their power in placing me at the head of the organization. I am deeply grateful for the confidence reposed in me and trust that my year of office may be marked by progress on the part of the industry and advancement in the membership and strength of the As- sociation. Of the work and worth of the Canadian _Lumbermen’s Association, what it has ac- - complished during the fifteen years of its ex- __ istence; its growing status and prestige, it is not necessary to deal. The membership to- day is the largest in its history. There are still many firms who should be within our ranks, keeping step to step in the march of events and co-operating with us for the weal and uplift of forest products activities and - we hope they will come in and augment our ntimber. ; All lumbermen will deeply regret the cir- cumstances which have led up to the resign- ation of our veteran Secretary, Mr. Frank _ Hawkins, Ottawa, who has left on an ex- tended trip to the Old Country in search of health. We trust that he may return great- ly benefited from his outing and. that many _ years may yet be spared to him. Mr. Haw- kins was a capable, faithful and courteous official and to him is due a great deal of the credit for the expansion and _ prosperity of ‘the C. L. A. He was ever watchful of the interests of the lumbermen and anything _ that pertained to our great pioneer calling. In his successor, Mr. R. L. Sargant, we have san energetic and active young man, who is _ thoroughly familiar, not only with transpor- _ tation problems and general routine work of the office, but who has also managed to get ___ a splendid grasp of secretarial duties. I am ___ sure that he will prove a worthy successor to our late secretary. i 7 The Next Convention in Buffalo - The Canadian Lumbermen’s Association aii. é _ is broad in.its outlook and wide in its vision. _ It is no narrow, secretarian body but has be- - come international’ in character and stand- ing. Two years ago, at the annual gather- ‘ing in Toronto, two American directors were _ elected and today we have about thirty re- presentative firms in leading cities in the _ United States who belong to our body. These concerns are large buyers of Canadian aber and a number of them market their roduct in this country. In recognition of friendly relations which have always ex- isted between Canada and the United States, «4% i As a fs . we ti re > "Oe, Toronto, October 1, 1923 By Angus McLean, Bathurst, N.B. it is gratifying to see the lumbermen keep pace with the times. Another evidence of the tolerant, friend- ly spirit which prevails, is evidenced by the fact that a hearty invitation was extended to us, at our last convention in Montreal, to assemble in Buffalo in January 1924 for our sixteenth annual gathering. This invitation came from representative lumber and com- mercial Associations and was unanimously accepted by the Board of Directors and con- curred in by the membership. The date of the next annual meeting is January 30-31. Possibly it may be thought by some shortsighted and prejudiced persons that Canadian lumbermen, holding their big ses- sion in a United States city, were overlook- ing the claims of their own convention cen- tres, but, when it is remembered that the C. L. A. has met several times in Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec, St. John and Toronto, no objection can be offered to accepting the in- vitation of the Buffalo Chamber of Com- merce, the Buffalo Lumber Exchange, White Pine Association of North Tonawanda and other bodies. Importance of Lumber Trade These influential organizations of Amer- ica have paid a distinct compliment to Can- ada in inviting the Canadian lumber parlia- ment to meet in the border city. The ses- sions will be held in the new Statler Hotel, which is one of the finest in America. In passing it might be stated that Canada has at different times welcomed American con- ventions who have taken advantage of the beauty and attractions of the Dominion to gather here for their deliberations. The mingling and intermingling of our business men and citizens evidences the cordiality ex- isting between the people of Canada and those of the United States and it is, when representative bodies ignore boundary lines, that brotherhood has its widest sweep and co-operation its strongest expression and there is real reciprocity of sentiment, thought and outlook. The sale of wood products in the shape of lumber, pulp and paper, to the United States is growing every year and showing constantly heavy increases. It is not my in- tention to go into statistics which are avail- able to all, but I desire to state that it is the export of the products of the forest which is doing more than any other agency to preserve our trade equilibrium, keep down the rate of exchange and uphold the dignity and the value of our Canadian dol- lar. Jumberman Sowntad 1880 Recognized Authority for Forty Years No. 19 President of Canadian Lumbermen’s Association Extends Felicitations and Reviews Outlook in the Industry There is, in my opinion, too much dis- position today to criticize the lumberman and to imagine that he is a “timber baron” or a “millionaire operator.” These terms are too freely bandied about by the people who give little thought or heed to the vast undertakings which the lumbermen have in hand. The latter must all'be men of vision and strong faith, not only in their own abil- ity but in facing the various elements which play so large a part in the success of logging ~ activities. Lumbering is the most hazard- ous of all undertakings and the profits are the longest in arriving. The lumberman must be a man of far-flung vision. The logs that he cuts this fall may not be con- verted into the finished product for two years and until the dry lumber is sold, no money comes into the treasury of the oper- ator. But it is not my intention to talk shop. I have been asked by the editor of the “Canada Lumberman” to say something regarding the general situation and outlook. What are the hampering features of busi- ness today? Now and then it is asked “what is wrong with the lumber industry?” Prima facia, there is nothing wrong with it at all but there are several contributing causes which might be ameliorated, in the sales tax, levies by the Workmen’s Com- pensation Board, heavy freight rates, in- creasing timber dues, the demands of labor, inefficiency of lumber-jacks, the wide de- struction of limits by the budworm and other pests and, last but not least, the menace and devastation of forest fires. Urgency of Better Fire Protection To deal specifically with each of these would take up too much of your valuable space, but on certain points outlined I feel very strongly, particularly with respect to fire protection. When it is considered that the most expert information shows that ten trees have been wasted by human-set fires to every tree that has been utilized in the service of the Canadian people, it is time that our governments and other public bodies were aroused to action. What the upkeep of our forests and their perpetuation mean, not only to the present but succeeding generations, almost beyond human ken. The consumption of wood is increasing all the time but supplies are growing scarcer and more remote and the day of’ cheap lumber has passed. New — conditions have to be faced and new meth- ods employed. We can no longer be prodi- gal or indifferent in this matter as the days (Continued on page 59) is| ‘of which is not yet fully known, for the bush have jumped five dollars pe CANADA LUMBERMAN The Days of Cheap Lumber Have Passed Old Timers in the Ottawa Valley District Declare Lumber Will he Prized Product in Another Decade or Two By Everett Andrew Lower priced lumber—that much talked of and visionary commodity, which, of late years and particularly today, is occupying a foremost place in the eye of the general pub- lic, is a€ far distant as ever, so far as can be ascertained by preparations which are under way for the logging and camp operations of Ottawa Valley lumber companies for the woods season of 1923-24 A survey of the situation shows that there is little or no chance of operating costs in the woods coming down, and the likeli- hood is that they may be higher than a year aco. If the latter through time proves cor- rect, luraber values cannot go down and may have to go higher. If they do not, it will be time for the lumbermen to go out of busi- ness, or function as benevolent martyrs to a consuming public, whose general refrain, regardless of actual conditions, has been “oive us cheaper lumber.” The lumberman are quite content and prepared to take a fair profit, and provide cheaper lumber, if their critics can show them ’in actuality, how it can be done. In other words, if the public knows more about the trials, hardships, and ups and downs, of a lumber manufacturer, than he knows him- self, let the public come up and provide the remedy, and the lumberman will deliver ! the cure. The outlook in the Ottawa Valley for cheap lumber, unless some unexpected mira- cle arrives, and it has got to ‘be a “really truly” miracle, is that lumber costs to the public will never get back to old days. In short, veteran lumbermen with all their years of operating experience and knowledge are at a loss to re-establish the old order of things. The old order has first got to be established, before costs permitting cheaper tumber can even be dreamed of. ; Combination of Factors Exist Notwithstanding. an outlook which is none too favorable, the Ottawa Valley Lum- ber manufacturers are going ‘back into the woods this season with the purpose, it gen- erally seems, of getting out as many, if not more, logs than they did twelve months ago. Some companies have not as yet got their money back, or even their logs in the mill- pond, for an expenditure which they made on similar operations twelve or more months ago. “It would make a very nice story if you could follow a lumberman’s dollar around from the time it leaves his pocket till the time he gets it back,” was the comment of one manufacturer. The chief feature of this year’s camp operations as the lumbermen see it is the upkeep in the cost of camp supplies and the apparent advance in wages, part of which has already evidenced itself and the extent i Wages month over last year. Men as is usual at this time of year are scarce, but the prospect seems that there may be still a further ad- vance in pay before the camps are filled. -The wages already offered for bushmen for this season’s operations while on a strik- ing average the lowest since 1916, are con- siderably higher than those paid in 1914 and are much higher than those of 1915. back even further they are higher than those paid for the season of 1912-13. ne ee O go - The advance in wages alone is not the serious part of the bush operations or what 1s taking up the secret spare time of lumber- men. Production and efficiency in the woods are the two chief calls, if profits are to be made and the cost of lumber kept where it is or only slightly higher. : Only Fifty Percent Efficient The efficiency of labor offering for the woods camps and engaged at existing wages, since 1916, is estimated as one half or fifty per cent of old time efficiency, from a produc- tion standpoint, of the woodsmen of ten. fifteen, or twenty years ago. The names of companies agreeing to this statement are withheld. It is however a generally recog- nized fact. Taking such an affirmation to ibe correct the wages of from thirty-five to forty-five dollars per month, with board, (and boara nowadays in lumber camps is no mean item), represent only one half of what an old woods- man should have received considering his efficiency and production. ‘Therefore, today it is evident lumbermen expend from $707.10 $90 per month and board two, instead of one man, with better fare than old woodsmer ever thought of, to get as much work done as a good woodsman did ten or more years ago. Is it any wonder that the price of lum- ber has gone up? The end fortunately for the lumber operator is not yet. Ever since the beginning of the Euro- pean war real old time lumbermen, who knew their game, have been: growing re- markably scarce. So scarce in fact are they becoming that they are looked upon in some camps as modern curiosities. some are really old, but when it comes to production they are there, and the scoffers about old age, are woefully behind when the log count for the day is made.

The lumber companies cannot apparently do anything else, and while they know before- hand they are not going to get the produc- tion they want as compared with the money expended, they have simply got to put up with it. There is perhaps no other industry in Canada that has been hit as hard by tie war, as the lumber industry. While good woods management has pre- vailed in the majority of instances, the pru- duction of the class of men, who are per- forming the work is not there. This, in a large measure, is shown by log production and if one wants to look further open the chapter of 15 or 20 years ago and ‘ind quality log production. Volume in a measure is coming from the woods today, but is a long way from being the old time quality stuff, The time and effort of many scores men in the woods this winter will be utiliz in sawing and felling trees according to new governmental regulations, which all opera- tors are well acquainted. In the new ord of things trees have to be felled according to certain standards. This in brief results poorer quality lumber having to be t out by the operator, whereas in the old d he took the good stuff and left the po behind. It is going to cost the lumber this year thousands of dollars in wages get out poor quality ‘stock, which, aft is manufactured, they can only hope lect a small margin of profit. Still ernment says this has to be done lumbermen have no alternative b up with it. Aside from newer regulat to cutting, etc., the operation of t men’s Compensation Act, is anot of legislation that is certainly not t make lumber any cheaper to the New Standard Cutting Regul The cost of operating the camps t will be about the same as last season as supplies go. Flour, hay, and three of the principal commodities, indications of being slightly cheaper tha: year ago. During the last 12 months t action of the Canadian Government in reg to prohibiting the use of oleomargarine w mean that for this season’s operations the companies will have to furnish /butter at a cost of from 30 to 33 cents per pound. Some companies last season used from three to four tons of oleomargarine which they were able to obtain at from 18 to 20 cents per pound. i i eo aan The following table showing the cost of | some of the principal commodities entering - into the costs of camp operations gives some idea of the increased cost of lumber production of Ottawa Valley Companies. In addition to these commodities there are also a variety of other foods, prunes, jams, honey, syrup, molasses, etc., which have to be supplied to meet the present day ' desires of workers. For this year’s opera- tion the prices of these have not showed a great deal of change, and the amount involy- — ed by it will scarcely effect the major cost of the operations.

The blaze originated from a hot box on the lower pulley of a band mill early in the morning and the flames spread rapidly to other parts of the structure. Cutler is about midway between Sault Ste. Marie and Sudbury and a progressive lumbering centre in the Al- soma district. The mill which was operated both day and night this season was built in 1915, the former one having been destroyed in the spring of that year. A unique feature of the Cutler mill was that the entire foun- dation was constructed of concrete. The mill was equipped exclu- sively with band saws, making it one of the most modern and up- to-date plants on the north shore. It had excellent shipping facili- ties both by rail and vessel and had two single-cutting Waterous 8- foot band mills, with Prescott carriage, two 11-inch gun shot steam feeds and lumber sorting table, furnished by the Waterous 'Com- pany; a Mershon 7-foot vertical resaw and a Diamond Iron Works 6-foot horizontal resaw. The plant had a capacity of 125,000 feet in ten hours.. The mill was a frame building, 56 feet x 216 feet, with an addition for a lath department 36 feet x 80 feet, and a sort- ing shed and table 30 feet x 224 feet. There was also a complete filing room equipment and a miscellaneous assortment of live as- sortment rolls, transfers, etc. The company also own another plant at Spanish Mills, situa- ted at the eastern end of Aird Island, about eight miles distant from Cutler. This mill, which will be put in operation at once to complete the season’s sawing was built many years ago and at dif- ferent times has been extensively remodelled. The capacity of the plant is about 190,000 feet in ten hours and the equipment includes a Waterous single-cutting band mill, a Diamond Iron Works twin band, Wickes gang, Prescott rift edger and Diamond Iron Works horizontal resaw. The officers of the company are B. W. Arnold, of Albany, N.Y., president; W. J. Bell, of Sudbury, vice-president and general-man- ager, and M. T. Raymond, Albany, N. Y., sales-manager. A .J. McDonald is the secretary-treasurer of the company, and J. A. Ferguson, of Massey, where the logging headquarters of the orgau- ization are located, is in charge of the entire woods activities. The loss on the mill is about $150,000, and is covered by insur- ance. B. F. Rogers, of Burk’s Falls, who was head filer in the mill, lost his life in the fire. He was a returned veteran. Northern Sawmill Destroyed by Fire The sawmill belonging to the Fesserton Timber Co., Toronto, and located at Krugersdorf in the Temiskaming district, a few miles north of Englehart, was ‘burned to the ground recently. The blaze broke out at midnight from some unknown cause and the structure was completely destroyed. The lumber, which was piled some dis- tance away, escaped. The loss is about $35,000, and partly covered by insurance. The mill was a circular one, built three years ago by the Fesserton Timber Co., and had a cutting capacity of 40,000 feet a day and its destruction came at a particularly inopportune time as the company had about a million and a half feet of jack pine and spruce logs in the water yet to be sawn this season. It will be im- possible to get them attended to elsewhere owing to the distance from other mills. It is understood that the Fesserton Timber Co, will shortly erect a new sawmill at Timmins, Ont., and negotiations for a suitable railway siding have been going on for some time. Hoo-Hoo Holds Annual at New Orleans A notable meeting was the Hoo-Hoo annual which took place recently in New Orleans, La. There was a representative attendance from all sections of the country and of all branches of the industry. The sessions were marked by much enjoyment and enthusiasm. During the convention a telegram arrived announcing the death - of W. A. Hadley, of Chatham, Ont., a former snark of the universe, and one of the most beloved members of the Order. Mr. Hadley had a short time before his death referred to the Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo, a subject which was very dear to his heart. Snark of the universe Dickason could not conceal his emotion as he read the death message. ‘The meeting was instantly thrown into mourning and various delegates arose and paid brief and touching tributes to the memory of Mr. Hadley. A prayer was offered for the deceased member and*Mr. Dickason appointed a committee to make arrangements for paying respects to Mr. Hadley’s memory. Minneapolis was chosen as the convention city for 1924 and the following officers were elected for the coming year :— C. D.

Another resolution provided for the order’s fostering of refor- estation by setting aside 160-acre tracts in each of the nine jurisdic- tions throughout the country for experimental purposes. A resolu- tion provided a contribution of $99.99 for the Japanese earthquake = relief. : a Other resolutions expressed warm gratitude to the trade press — for its efforts on behalf of the Order and the industry, to New Or- leans committees for providing such splendid entertainment and to various officers for distinguished services. . The secretary, H. R. Isherwood, of St. Louis, Mo., presented an He expressed the gratitude over the growth ~ of the Order and predicted that the time would come when the lumber industry would be 90 per cent. Hoo-Hoo and Hoo-Hoo would © be 90 per cent. lumbermen. During the past year 1,240 new mem-_ bers were initiated, while about 500 members were reinstated. The present membership consists of over 7,000,—65 honorary members, — 180 honorary life members, 76 life members and the remainder ordin- ary membership. % 7 — 4 More Timberlands are Disposed of The Shevlin-Clarke Lumber Company, Fort Frances, were re- cently the successful tenderers on nine square miles of timber lands between Clear Water, and Trout Lakes, Rainy River. For red and © white pine they will pay $3.05 per thousand; jack pine, $2.50; spruce logs, $2; spruce pulp, 80 cents a cord; other pulp, 40 cents; fuel wood, ~ 25 cents, all prices inclusive of usual Crown dues. ne ela q The Pigeon River Lumber Company Port Arthur, was successful — bidder on 13 square miles of burnt-over area in McGregor township, — Thunder Bay, receiving cutting rights for $9.50 per thousand on pine timber; $7 on spruce timber; $1.65 a cord on spruce pulp, and ~ 80 cents a cord on other pulp. : Marked cheques were received from each of the successful bid- ers. ¥ ——y ‘ Quebec Restores Old Rate of Stumpage The 1920 tariff of stumpage which is the highest enforced in Quebec and has been suspended for the past two seasons, will be in © operation again this year, in the Province of Quebec. ‘The regions affected by forest fires which, however can still be exploited, will benefit by a reduction of 50 per cent. on the tariff. Renewed activ- ity in the lumber business and a general improvement in conditions are said to have warranted this move on the part of the Government — which will bring in increased revenues. a The 1920 tariff was only enforced for the season of 1920-21, its — enforcement having been suspended successively in (1921-22 and © 1922-23 at the request of the lumbermen, who pointed out that the industry was in such a condition that the new tariff would pre- vent the operation of many camps and that the 1918 tariff would still bring sufficient revenues with possibilities of exploitation on a larger scale. Last year, there was talk of closing the lumber camps at — first, and the Government decided to offer to maintain the lower — tariff under the understanding that the camps would be kept in full activity to relieve unemployment. This agreement was carried out and a record year was finally recorded. . Pee. By granting a reduction of nearly 50 per cent. on the 1920 tariff on burnt timber, the Government expects to encourage timber limit — holders to exploit these affected reserves more than the whole for- estry limits and thus preserve a large area of timber. Selle Forecasts are that notwithstanding the fact that the cutting of — timber has begun earlier than usual this year and that great activity — is reported in the lumber camps the cutting will not be much over the © average. Wages of lumberjacks are said to be taking a serious rise, — which may reduce the activity in some camps. . ee nc as Rea Oa MN te Shae tae _” eas See 7 glace ae eS 4 Cl Tee ata Ts. ‘ chs Jig) SORA aie des ins kt Se ta Ve bs CANADA LUMBERMAN ' “Montreal Wholesalers Adopt Grading Rules Idea is to Obtain More Uniform Method and to Secure Definite Under- 39 ty standing Regarding Grades of Spruce, Hemlock and Other a Forest Products ; a The Montreal Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association, at its 4 _ monthly meeting on September 20th, adopted grading rules for rough _ spruce, balsam, jack pine, red pine, merchantable and cull hemlock, 4 in. and up and 6 ft. and up. The rules were drawn up by a com- " mittee consisting of Messrs. J. S. Bock, C. Villiers, W. B. Blair, G. M. Strong and O. Page. Although they are primarily intended for the use of the Association’s Arbitration Committee, it is hoped L-that they will be adopted by the Quebec mills. The rules will be printed in book form in English and French. The meeting’ discussed the rules in detail and made slight alter- ations to the report of the committee. The following took part in the discussion:—Messrs. Bock (who presided); W. B. Blair; F. W. azats =. Mr. Bock pointed out that the rules did not change the present _ practise, the report simply reduced them to a written form. The idea was to obtain a uniform method of grading and also to secure, _ when making a contract, a definite understanding as to the grades. 3 _As they were aware, the Canadian trade had adopted the National hardwood rules becatise there was a necessity for it. The Associa- - tion rules, when put into book form, could be sent to the mills and | & customers and he believed that they would tend to the elimination of friction and expense. The grading in some of the larger mills varied and the rules might pave nee cously be used by these pro- _ ducers. For Rough Spruce and Other Woods a The following are the rules for rough spruce, balsam, jack pine and red pine, Deals,—Planks and boards, 4 in. and up, 6 ft. and up. 5 q 1st Quality—To be sound, good grained and of a good appear- ance, a few solid knots on one edge, Ya" to 34" diameter, one to = - three in number allowed. Four to six solid knots of the same size ~ could be allowed on one face provided these knots are so situated ' that they will appear only on one side of a 3 in. piece. Moderate -_wane shall not prevent a good piece to be classified a Ist. qual. say _ Win. if running both sides of the piece for about one third of the - length, and 34 in. if the wane is running on only one side. If clear _ firsts are requested, pieces with knots of % in. to 34 in. are gener- ally eliminated but knots of 1% in. and 3% in. are allowed. Pieces - of 12 ft. and up by 9 in. and up will carry more than pieces under _ these sizes. = ~ ° 2nd Quality—To be sound and of a good appearance, same as Ist quality. A few solid knots % in. to 34. in., two to four, could be q allowed on both edges, also four to six solid knots % to i in. could be allowed on both faces. It all depends on the knots, their peculiar a position and the size of the piece. Moderate wane is also allowed, say ¥Y in. to % in. if its runs on both sides for half the length of piece, | in. if it runs on only one side. 3rd Quality—To be sound and strong, several good knots vary- ing in number and sizes allowed, slight heart shakes on one face of _ a piece allowed, both ends to be free from splits and shakes. Moder- ate wane according to size and quality allowed, few worm holes could be allowed provided they do not cross a piece entirely, red discoloration, if sound, is no defect and is allowed. 4th Quality—To be sound, same as 3rds and better, numerous large and solid knots on both faces and edges allowed, ‘slight gum ‘seams and moderate heart shakes on both faces of a piece allowed, : a _ but both ends of the piece to be solid, red discoloration, if sound, is ‘no defect and is allowed, a few worm holes could be allowed on both _ sides, provided a piece would have been better than 4th Qual. with- out them. 5th Quality—Shall be pieces not coming within the definition _ of the 4th and better and which, in the opinion and judgment of the ~culler, are good and strong pieces. Any amount of solid and sound knots of all sizes allowed. Hard red and the end of a rot allowed. _ Moderate gum seams from one end to the other and heart shakes allowed, several worm holes can be allowed but they must not ‘ affect the solidness of the piece. Hard red, if solid can be allowed on _ both faces and full length.

However, this quality is a valuable one and if attended to carefully, will be praised in considera- tion of being cheaper. 6th quality should be a good piece, soft, red, the end of a rot allowed, real rot at the ends to be butted off, gum seams and heart shakes allowed from one end to the other, rotten knots of all kinds and unlimited number allowed, numerous worm, holes allowed, more wane is generally allowed for 6ths than for the other qualities, but if a piece is just good enough for a 6th without wane, same proportion in allowing for wane must be taken into con- sideration. Although defects of all kinds such as soft red, gum seams, wind shakes, worm holes, bark, etc., can be allowed to a cer- | tain extent none of these, defects to be so detrimental as to render the piece useless. Same rules to be observed for lumber under 3 in. always keep- ing proportion for each thickness, each width and the peculiar nature of the wood. Hemlock Grading Rules Rules for Merchantable and Cull Hemlock 4 in. and up— 6 ft. and up. Merchantable Hemlock. To be sound, numerous large and solid knots on both sides and edges, slight gum seams and moderate heart shakes on both faces of the piece allowed, but both ends of the piece must be solid, discoloration if sound, is no defect and shall be. allowed. Wane—twenty-five per cent of the thickness one-third of the length on two edges or the iull length of the piece if only on one edge allowed. Cull Hemlock shall permit of soft red (the end of a rot) allowed, real rot at the ends to be butted off, gum seams and heart shakes allowed from one end to the other, rotten knots of all kinds and unlimited in number allowed, defects of all kinds, such as soft red, gum seams, wind shakes, wane and bark can be allowed to a certain extent, none of these defects however to be so detrimental as to render the piece useless. May Form an Export Section The question of the formation of an export section was dis- cussed.

Messrs. P. O. O’Brien, Bennett and Stearns were appointed a committee to consider the desirability of such a section and to interview the representatives of export firms.

Some exporters — a CANADA LUMBERMAN Inspector Milne is Doing Good Work It is a very isolated settlement in Northern Ontario where they do not know “big Bob Milne,” inspector of the Lumbermen’s Safety Association, whose head- quarters are in Ottawa. Mr. Milne has a smile and a cheer- ful word for everybody and his v.sits are always welcomed in the lumber camps and the saw- mlls. He is a practical man and is -well known in the lumber business, having held several im- portant positions which he faith- fully filled. In the manufacture of lumber and the operating of plants he is regarded as an expert. A Canadian by birth, R. F. Milne first saw the light of day in Chelsea, Que., and obtained his education in that village and Robert Milne, Ottawa, Ont., in the Ottawa Collegiate In- stitute then known as_ the Grammar School. He served an apprenticeship with Gilmour & Co., Gatineau Mills, Que., and was with them for fifteen years, working up to the position of general superintendent and, after eight years’ service in that position, he resigned in 1890 and went with McLachlin -Bros., Arnprior, with whom he remained nineteen years. He was _ for several years mechanical superintendent for the firm. In the fall of 1909 Mr. Milne journeyed to Waldo, B.C., where he was - general superintendent of the Baker Lumber Co.. When war broke - out he resigned and came East. This was in 1915 when he was immediately appointed inspector of the Lumbermen’s Safety Asso- ciation covering the province of Ontario. Mr. Milne is in the field practically all the year round. In the summer months he is inspect- ing sawmills and during the winter he visits the lumber camps and _ inspects the sanitary conditions, etc. He is, possibly, the only indus- trial inspector giving instructions in First Aid work. This was _ started as an experiment and has proved to be of inestimable value to employers and employees in both camps and mills.

Cole, in a recent ‘ : communication to the Department of Trade and Commerce, Ottawa. © Some few shipments were made during the war, but this is be- _ lieved to be the first delivery under normal conditions of Canadian _ pitwood to South Wales, and provided supplies and prices can be maintained, marks the beginning of what may develop into an im- _ portant trade. It is anticipated that the firm above referred to will _ themselves be able to utilize in their own mines as much pitwood as can be exported from Nova Scotia. ; This cargo of 3,000 tons was purchased at $8 per long ton cif. _ Cardiff, and consists of wood ranging in size from 6% feet to 9 feet with a small amount of 11 feet and 13 feet, diameter ranging from 2¥% inches for the shorter lengths to 9 inches for the 11 feet and 13 feet lengths. In view of the low ocean freight rates ruling between Bristol Channel ports and Canada, and the fact that this pitwood will be return cargo for Welsh coal shipped to the Dominion, an oppor- _ tunity to compete with Continental countries presents itself which did not heretofore exist. As was pointed out in a report from this _ office published recently, the pitwood must be of good straight larch or fir cut in sizes of 6% feet, 9 feet, 11 feet and 13 feet lengths with _ the diameter at the small end from 3 inches in the smaller wood to about 7 inches in the longest. Prices should not exceed $6.50 per long ton free on board, stowed at Montreal, Quebec or similar port. It will be useless for shippers to attempt to bring wood from places necessitating a long rail haul, as this would kill the business.. . Scandinavia is the source from which South Wales in the past in obtained the best of its supplies. The wood which is imported into Cardiff, Newport and Swansea from the Bay of Biscay and Por- ~tugal is for rougher and less important work: when the price of Canadian wood becomes proportionately as cheap for the work done, the firm referred to will not hesitate to use it in preference to French , and Portuguese wood, especially in view of their developing’ trade for Welsh coal with Canada. Ree eae ei There are two classes of timber used in the South Wales coal — fields. First, pitwood is timber with the bark on in sizes already — given. (This timber is sold by weight per long ton.) Second, pit — props, as known to South Wales, is free of bark and sold by measure- | ment, per fathom, according to the top diameter. Suitable lengths | are'4 1/2 feet, 2°1/2 teet;. and, 0a Zeeer a The following are the returns of the registered quantity of pit props and pitwood imported into Cardiff, Newport, Port Talbot and Swansea during the years 1920, 1921, and 1922: ee i 1920 1921 O27 aan Loads.

Thus 100 loads is equivalent to 80 tons. oA The imports during 1922, it will be noted, show a heavy increas over the previous years, although any comparison between 1921 an 1922 is inconclusive, owing to prolonged colliery strikes in the former year. France maintains a very strong lead, and Portugal is in the — second position, Newfoundland’s shipments were just under 30,000 loads in 1922. Russia is no longer a competitor. OY > The average price for last year was approximately 3ls. 6d. — ($7.43 at $4.72 exchange to the pound sterling) per long ton ex ship. This average compares unfavourably from the exporter’s view with an average price of 60s. (14.16) ex ship in 1920 and 45s. ($10.62) in 1921. The reduction in the price of mining timber has been a big factor in lowering the cost of coal produced at the mines. Freights — on pitwood cargoes varied between 8s. (1.89) and 12s. $2.36 per ton — from Bordeaux to the Bristol Channel during the last calendar year. — Canadian firms or individuals may obtain a general list of Welsh importers of pit props and pitwood as well as the names of the Welsh ~ colliery owners at present importing Canadian pitwood on applica- — tion to the Director of the Commercial Intelligence Service (file No. © 21971.

It is the intention in the near future to erect a planing mill. A. E. Kaiser, of Park Falls, Wis., is the president of the organization; F. W. Moore, Thorold, Ont., vice-president, and L. B. E. McCleary, of Thorold, secretary-treasurer. : f; Mr. Kaiser, the head of the concern, was for many years office manager for McCleary & McLean, who were lumber manufactur- ers with mills and yards at Thorold. Some years ago Mr. Kaiser went to Wisconsin and engaged in the manufacture of lumber. He has built up an extensive business, at the present time owning large holdings and having a well equipped sawmill for the manufacture of his timber. He has also a line of retail yards in Wisconsin with headquarters at Park Falls. retin Mr. Moore, the vice-president of the company, is also vice- — president of Exolon Co., with plants at Thorold and Blaisdale, N.Y. — Mr. McCleary, secretary of the McCleary Lumber & Coal COs a is a son of the late William McCleary of McCleary & McLean already — referred to. He was brought up in the lumber business in his father’s firm and, after the death of the latter, conducted the business _ for some years, later going to Minnesota where he engaged in the manufacture of lumber. Mr. McCleary returned to Ontario in 1915 — enlisting in the Canadian army. He will have charge of the com- — pany’s activities at Thorold.

C. Gordon at the first of the fall monthly gatherings of the Wholesale Lum- ber Dealers’ Association, Inc., held on September 21st. Following the usual dinner at the Albany club, Toronto, there was considerable business taken up and an interesting and edifying address delivered by Dr. G. W. Ross, of Toronto, on “Medical and Scientific Research, Its Progress and What It has Done for Human- ity.” _ -L. D. Barclay, chairman of the Picnic Committee, reported on ‘the recent successful gathering held at (Clarkson. A surplus of $57.28 was reported and the committee was authorized to make ar- tangements for a dance to be held about the middle of November. A feeling reference was made by the chairman to the illness of W. E. Bigwood. A resolution of sympathy was passed, on motion of D. C. Johnston and Roy Campbell, and will be forwarded to 'Mrs. Bigwood. Warm tributes were paid to Mr, Bigwood as one _ of the most beloved, upright and highly esteemed men in the Can- _adian lumiber trade and the hope was fervently expressed that he _ might recover to take his place again in the ranks of the industry. ; On motion of Hugh A. Rose and F. H. Bigwood, the secretary was instructed to send a letter of sympathy to Mrs. W. A. Hadley and family, of Chatham, Ont., in the death of Mr. Hadley who was widely known in the retail arena and particularly as a former head _ of the Hoo Hoo organization, Members Will Discuss Salex Tax It was decided that at the next meeting which will be held on October 19th, the sales tax should be discussed. The various re- gulations in regard to license returns and payment of tax, refunds and deductions, computation of tax, returned goods, etc., will be re- _ viewed. This was suggested by A. E. Eckardt, former chairman of the Association, who read a letter from the Tariff Department of the Canadian Manufacturers’ Association, stating that the Depart- ment of Trade and Customs had been drafting proposed regulations for the administration of the new sales tax which goes into effect on January Ist. The regulations are now coming up for consideration Enjoyable and enthusiastic was the third annual picnic of the ~Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association of Toronto, which was held at the Lake Shore Golf and Country Club, Clarkson, on September 14th. The grounds are ideal for recreative purposes and during the afternoon golf, tennis, baseball and other sports were engaged in. The attendance was large and the competition in the various events exceptionally keen. __ The success of the picnic is due in a large measure to the mem- bers of the Entertainment (Committee of the Wholesale Lumber Deal- ers’ Association, composed of L. D. Barclay, chairman; J. R. Carter, _R. G. Chesbro, J. F. Wachter and R. S. Plant, all of whom worked diligently and had the reward of seeing their efforts appreciated. _ After spending some hours on the fairways, greens and tennis courts, the company gathered at 7 o’clock for dinner, a large number from Toronto, who were not able to get away in the early afternoon, motored out. A. C. Gordon, chairman of the Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association, presided and at his right was Frank Oliver, through whose courtesy and kindness the outing was held on the grounds of the Lake Shore Club, of which he is past president. After rt addresses from Mr. Gordon and Mr. Barclay, the program for the evening was handed over to Mr. Oliver who proved to tbe an adept in keeping things on the move. _ Several prizes were presented in the golf competition. Miss T. Munster, of the Canfield-Wilmot, Limited, Woodstock, won the prize clock golf with a score of 30. Frank H. Harris captured the trophy . the gentlemen’s golf competition with a tally of 86 for 18 holes, hile Mrs. Boultbee, wife of Secretary Boultbee, was the victor in ie ladies contest with a score of 112 for the course. It was stated at these records set a new high water mark and it will be up to lembers of the Lake Shore Club to equal them. Another prize shape of a miniature silver cup, gold-lined, was presented to Van Blaricom, editor, “Canada Lumberman,” for remarkable and all-round fitness in the baseball contest of the afternoon. reral songs were sung during the prandial proceedings and the illery was incessant.

S. legislation with respect to the Marking Act as it applies to shingles, requiring the country of origin to be stamped or stenciled on each bunch. The regulation, however, did not apply to lath. Secretary Boultbee stated the matter had been referred to Chester W. Martin, U -S. Consular Agent, at Toronto who, in a recent letter. stated that he was enclosing a copy of a communication from the Assistant Col- lector of Customs at Buffalo, N. Y., quoting a letter from the secre- tary of the Treasury, dated July 24th 1923, which fully covers the question of marking so far as the law applies to shingles and lath. The letter received by Mr. Martin from H, W. Smith, assistant col- lector of Customs, Buffalo, N. Y., was as follows :— “Replying to your letter of Sept. 8th 1923, relative to marking of shingles, I will quote a letter from the secre- tary of the Treasury, dated July 24th. You are advised ‘that the Department has ruled in a number of recent cases that shingles imported in ‘bunches are required to be marked to indicate the country of origin. Each bunch of shingles is to be regarded as an article within the meaning of section 304 of the Tariff Act, and subject to the 10 per cent. additional duty specified in said section, if not marked at time of importation. “As to lath, the Department holds that they should be regarded as material and as such are not subject to the requirements of the marking statute.” The evening closed with a splendid address from Dr. Ross who paid high tribute to the members of the medical profession engaged in research work. He briefly but entertainingly traced its exten- sion from the time of Sir William Jenner who discovered vaccine, down to the discovery of insulin by Dr. Banting. He referred to the Foundation Scholarship of a million dollars which it is now sought to establish in Dr. Banting’s honor in order that young ‘Can- adians might engage in research work. Dr. Ross, who was accorded a hearty vote of thanks, for his able address, by Walter C Laidlaw and F. H. Bigwood, is a son of Sir George W. Ross, former Premier of Ontario and is widely known in the ranks of the medical men of Canada.

Some Traitors in our Midst Comrades, we have some traitors in our midst, Poor purblind fools, of reasoning power bereft, Who'll fan the flame that accident has lit or nurse the fire that carelessness has left.

James Harriman, Niagara Falls, ‘Ont., is the new head of the Niagara Peninsula Retail Lumbermen’s Association, and Andrew M. Wise, of St. Catharines, is the new secretary-treasurer. A re- organization meeting was held at the Hotel Reeta, Welland, on Sat- urday September 22nd, and was well attended. The visiting lum- bermen were entertained to dinner by the Association and after- wards a business session was conducted at which S. L. Lambert, of Welland, presided. He expressed pleasure at seeing such a repre- sentative gathering and hoped that now that the fall months were here, more interest would be taken in the proceedings and more frequent gatherings held. O. W. Rice, secretary-treasurer, reported a good balance on hand and stated that he believed in Association work from the standpoint of good fellowship and friendly interest. It was not necessary, he said, to cut prices in order to get business. During the past three years he had made more money than at any previous period in his own business, and he had not slashed prices in order to get trade. ‘Markus Vaughan, of Welland, who is a newly-elected member of the Ontario Legislature and head of the Vaughan Seed Co., Wel- land, was introduced by Mr. Lambert and gave a particularly in- structive and timely address. He spoke of the benefits of organ- ization and the advisability of getting every lumber dealer in the Andrew M.

This could be done by each man seeing all those in his own town or vicinity and inducing them to come in. As Mr. Rice had stated, there was no necessity of cutting prices in order to get ‘business either in the lumber or any other line, and very few men, Mr. Vaughan said, would be found doing so if they went according to their own conscience. All dealers paid about the same price for the raw material and should know the cost of! doing business and what constituted a fair profit. Every man, who is doing business to-day and delivers the goods, was entitled to pay for each thousand feet of lumber that he handled, plus a legitimate The man who was cutting prices was only fooling himself in the long run. He may have thought he was fooling or beating the other fellow but in the end he only cheated himself. It was necessary in association that men should have confidence one in another. This was stronger than bonds or any other agreement. Necessity for Fellow Confidence Mr. Vaughan went on to speak of the necessity of prompt collec- tion and how there should be real co-operation among members in order to save one another from poor-pay customers who made the rounds to secure material. If there was freely exchanged informa- tion on the matter of credit, the result would be that heavy losses would be eliminated and there would be evidence of real co-operation.

Mr. Harriman Becomes Chairman When the election of officers came up it was dndaumeeiee! de=9 cided that James Harriman, of Niagara Falls, should be made chair- man. Mr. Harriman is a veteran retailer, seventy-eight years old, but, is about the youngest man in spirit, thought and action to be found 4 anywhere in the Niagara district. He is always present at every meeting and takes intense interest in the proceedings. For thirty-_ two years he has been in the retail business in Niagara Falls and pres vious to that followed his trade as a millwright. A. M. Wise, the new secretary-treasurer, is a son of the fee Henry — Wise, of St |Catharines. He is much interested in the work of the — Niagara district, and under the new officers everything should pro-— ceed smoothly and satisfactorily. Votes of thanks were tendered Chairman Lambert and Secretary Rice for their services, and it was decided to hold the next meeting — of the Association at Dunnville on Saturday, October 27th. Mr. Shir- — ton extended the invitation and promised to see that everyone was — accorded a warm welcome to his town. ; As an evidence of the interest, that is taken in the affairs of the reorganized Niagara District Association, one member sent in a — cheque paying his fees for three years in advance. Atrophic Tendency of Lumber Business The tendency towards atrophy of the lumber business is shown | in the census report just published by the Department of Commerce. — This tendency is largely due to the dwindling forests and growing — remoteness of supply, says the New York State College of Forestry, — J Syracuse University. The total value of lumber and lumber products manufactured in F 1921 was $2,429,500,000 against $3,070,072,000 in 1919. Much of this” might be accounted for by the temporary decline of prices from the peak that was reached in 1919 and 1920 but the number of establish- ments and the number of employees engaged in the business also showed marked reductions which under lower prices and an” active demand would normally increase. a In 1919 there were 839,000 persons in the mamdteene a lum- ber and lumber products. In 1921 there were only 675,000 which ism below the figures of 1914 when there were 833,000. The number of establishments turning out lumber and lumber products in 1921, 20,273, shows a decrease of nearly fifty per cent. in two years, th having been 39,955 in 1919. In 1914 more than twice as many plants were in operation with about a third more wage earners in 1921. There have been many consolidations of establishments but not enough to account for this loss in the number of plants doing busi-— ness nor the decrease in employees during these brief periods. Other records show that in seven years before 1919 New York lost 35 per cent. of her secondary woodworking industries—plants using planed lumber.

J - Vol. 43 Toronto, October 1, 1923 No. 19 Who Pays for Lumber Delivery? _ The delivery problem is one which is always perplexing and is handled in divers ways. Some retailers say they give free delivery, others say they make a separate charge and show it on the bill, and still others include the cartage cost in selling price. Of course, different communities are accustomed to dissimilar practices and re- tail merchants have widely varying opinions on this problem. Lum- ber is not an easy commodity to handle. It is bulky and heavy and _ in order to move it from place to place, it is necessary to maintain _ expensive motor trucks, trailers, wagons, horses, etc. This equip- ment all costs a great deal, requiring skilled help to manage it and considerable overhead to maintain it. . ____— It may be stated, at the outset there is absolutely no such a thing as free delivery of lumber and that like everything else in this world _ the purchaser gets exactly what he pays for. There is a law of com- pensation and, if a customer proceeds on the assumption of getting _the most that he can without rendering an adequate return, he will find that in the end he has only cheated himself. If the retail lumber- man does not take proper care of his costs, he too will find at the close of the year’s operation that his balance is on the wrong side F.of the ledger. Free delivery of lumber is a mockery and unless the dealer gets _ from his customers the full cost of cartage or hauling either as a direct charge or includes a certain percentage in the selling price to _ cover this service, he is really out of pocket on this department of __ his business. Of course, times have changed and are changing and in a few years perhaps retail firms will get rid of the bugaboo of _ delivery troubles by abolishing the system altogether. “material home. The cash and carry plan has developed in the berman will be able to sit back much more contentedly and happy regard himself as well rid of the vexatious delivery proposition. to the present, as one authority said, he has played the role of _ the good-natured errand boy to the community and also for the sur- ounding country. He has been cajoled and imposed upon, asked to deliver small jags, to take back certain unused stock and gener- o cover the ground many times which he would not have to do ome dealers are so obliging that they will deliver any quantity, here, at any time or, just when and where and how the customer the material, They make no charge and then wonder why, . 1) ae eee a ee \. : \ ‘ r — - % aon Py arte ss H ‘ : “4 E : CANADA LUMBERMAN 45 / __~Nearly everyone now has special facilties for conveying his after disposing of so much stock in their yard and mill, their profits at the end of the year are nil. Many retailers deliver free within civic limits but this feature of the service is being extended and now farmers are requesting that the trucks be sent out to their places, several miles from town. Farmers find that one yardman will do it and then naturally use this information when approaching others and thus get the long haul thrown in. One cannot blame a farmer for driving as effective a bargain as possible. So long as others are will- ing to cater to his comfort and convenience, he will gladly accept these services. He naturally does not want to stop work in the fields to haul lumber from town and his horses are probably not shod for travelling on the hard roads. The situation in this respect to so-called free delivery has be- come almost amusing and it is interesting to find out how it is viewed by different retailers. The increasing number of good roads and the ability of motor trucks to eliminate distance are influences which have naturally led to the farmer getting his lumber delivered at his door without any cartage charges and the yardman in the towns and cities is the “goat.” He is having something put over on him and it is high time he awoke to a realization that so called “free features” or “service” cost some one something. The outlay comes out of the profit of the retail lumber merchant. Grave and Gay in Lumber Line Times and customs change. Business is not as serious a game as it used to be and not the soulless, mercenary procedure. The man who takes himself or his calling too gravely, fails to extract the most enjoyment out of life. This does not mean that he is not to be watchful, thoughtful and earnest, but if he can brighten routine with a little levity or diversion, he feels that he is, after all, pursuing a career worth while, and is more fit and efficient. All business — ventures are, to a certain extent, hazardous but their uncertainty and speculative nature calls forth a fighting spirit and aggressive — action which makes the game worth while. { In leading newspapers, the strip cartoon has come to occupy a rather unique place and solemn-minded men, in all lines 03 activity, look for quaint humor, rare philosophy or human nature and paro-— dies on pride, avarice, egotism, aggressiveness, optimism and other qualities. After all, whether engaged in lumber business or any other _ line, there is back of these sayings more truth than poetry, more earnest than jest, more common sense than hilarity. ; An ostentatious character who is rather fond of flaunting his — abilities, stated in a recent interview, that while other men were talking things over, he was putting them over. ‘This is a fine policy | to pursue for the world is today doing too much talking and not © enough producing. The man, who accomplishes things, who achieves something and really gets there, is he who translates thought into — decision and action and not mere speech. The one, who is declaring that he is going to do this and that, who is thinking and talking about it, seldom executes or completes his task. There is always — some barrier in the way, some flimsy excuse or subtle subterfuge which he offers as a palliation for his failure or neglect. In plain prose, he trots out the banal plea of having had it in mind but never — being quite able to get to it or to take it up. a On the other hand, there are men who rush headlong into mat- — ters with no well-conceived idea of what they intend to do or what route they will take. They see only the horizon and do not peer | beyond the distant hills. They try this and that and swing from one | thing to another in rapid succession and, in the end are frequently worse off than when they began. a The man who starts in business, after giving due thought and — heed to the opening, the demand, the service he can render, the cus- _ tomers he will have, etc., is worthy of honor. If he uses his own cash in the venture he is backing his own ability or, in other words, financing himself. He shows that he has faith in his powers, in human nature and in the possibility of success. , A recent cartoon illustrates the attitude of many people in refer-_ ence to a young man launching a business. One lady adviser of - uncertain years and doleful disposition tells him that he will lose all his money; that nine out of every ten business concerns fail in a few months; that the present is a bad time to embark in a venture; that business reverses are numerous, the future very uncertain and _ demand falling off; that over-confidence is the ruination of many and | it takes years of experience for a man to succeed in business, and all retail lines are woefully overcrowded, etc. ‘All these gruesome pro- phecies and many more are uttered with the result that the individual | in question goes merrily along, stating that if such counsellors held } their way, all flags would be flying at half mast and if an ascension | was made into Heaven, an effort would be made by them to con- vince St. Peter that even he had not a steady job. a This all leads up to a consideration of the lumber business, and, | as has been frequently pointed out in these columns, it is the most hazardous of all undertakings, It challenges the innate nature of mee See , ™ 2s ¢. ae 46 CANADA LUMBERMAN man in his combat with the elements and mother nature brings out 'the dominant spirit within his bosom. As one eloquent speaker at fa recent conference said, —‘It has been a somewhat popular indul- gence in uninformed circles to proclaim the lumberman a wanton destroyer of the forest Bice in wringing a fortune out of immediate circumstance with no vision nor concern for the future. This pro- position I emphatically dissent. Pecuniary interests he unquestion- ably seeks; otherwise he could not persist. But large fortunes, while 0 casjonal are not his common experience. His consolations are more in the enjoyment of robust and virile employment than large | competence. No commercial activity wrestles more with unrestrain- ed competition and fortuitous conditions. No natural product comes to a more fickle and inconstant market. Today it will buy, tomorrow it will abstain. Operations run in long cycles; a year or eighteen months from stump to purchaser. But ever and always the lumber- man must bring to market only what it will buy. Must he not, there- fore, seek the shortest road and declare a thing to be true only as it works?” | There is certainly no business today that is so little understood and regarding which more misrepresentations are made than the lumiber vocation. The public little comprehends its trials, difficulties, hazards, immensity and speculative character, and no great effort has been made to acquaint the people with what manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers are doing for the public welfare. When a man enters business in the lumber line today he must banish the idea of a cheaper commodity. It is well-known that costs are ascending all the time, that raw material is becoming scarcer and farther removed, that selling expenses, wages, levies of sales tax, timber dues, Workmen’s Compensation, assessments, etc., are all advancing and higher prices must be obtained in view of ‘rising costs and the amount of money invested in equipment, yards, limits, etc. j And yet, as the “Canada Lumberman” stated in its last issue, the exponents of this great national industry have faith in its future and believe that conditions, fundamentally and basically, are sound and sane. They are convinced that, out of the present period of int and apprehension, matters will come to a definite head and stabilization will again characterize the market and business be placed on a normal plane as, far as production demand and consump- tion are concerned. | How Business Will Manifest Itself - 4 It is always interesting to cast a horoscope over the future, or to descry what the coming days have in store. In business circles such a study might be termed opportunities, forecasts or barometer of conditions. In private life and in the female world, it would be classed as fortune-telling or finding out one’s fate by reading the : palm of the hand, the number of dregs ° in a teacup, gazing into a crystal, or shuffling a pack of cards. * All persons love to learn what is likely to happen. They would tear aside the veil that shuts out the future and have what is ahead disclosed, but such is not possible as a merciful Providence reveals ‘only from day to day the duties, cares and pleasures along the path- way of life. The speculative will, however, always appeal to men. It is an inborn, innate quality that seems to force its way to the front on every occasion. ‘To-day the statements of concerns, which study closely present conditions, review the past, size up certain basic com- -modities, trade tendencies, exchange situation, peace or war outlook, “etc., are eagerly perused. ; One of these exponents, Babson, in a recent chart on prospects ‘or fall, reveals some things that are of pertinent interest in the lumber line. He states that statistics to-day strongly indicate that the building of city offices, apartments and possibly homes has reached and passed the peak for this period. There has been a sharp decline during the past few weeks and records show that more than fifty per cent. of the current new building is taking place in the sub- -urbs and that the proportion of suburban to urban activity is grow- ing. This is largely due to the automobile moving people from the ae to the suburbs, and persons, especially interested in materials which go into new homes—and this includes the lumbermen,— should make a special drive on the suburban district. ; Some current advice from Mr. Babson is so terse that it might well be taken to heart and carefully studied by everyone. He states that when business declines money becomes easy and rates drop and Eehen money is cheap municipalities, large corporations and railroads es it much easier to borrow. ‘The banks at such times seek bond issues to sell and this means more construction and larger building ; programmes by counties, states, provinces, municipalities, transpor- ‘tation concerns and other corporations. The same authority goes on to state that it is foolish to portend that the tide is coming in when it is going out; to do so is merely putting one’s head acainst a stone wall and does not do anyone any good. On the other hand, because the tide turns it is no reason why we should moor our ship to the ; “Te Frege eeman Martin et oe te aL is Seats erie There are just as many fish in them if wharf and refuse to go fishing. The important — ocean whether the tide is coming in or going out. thing is to hoist sail, put out to sea and fish. ; "This is. the message which should be convincing to every deal - partment head and salesman. If some lines of business decline dur- — ing the next year, other lines will increase. If some things are harder to sell next year, other lines will be easier to dispose of. Analyze yourself, your lines.and your selling talk. Change what is necessary to fit the new conditions. Always keep in mind, however, ‘a that there will be opportunities as there always have been; ‘that there will be more people to shelter, feed and clothe than there ever have been and that a decline in businss does not mean that people do not buy; rather, they buy different things. , : Get Together on Fire Protection During what may be described as the annual forest fire fer attention is naturally directed to the enormous destruction of the fires and hundreds of columns are written emphasizing the waste of our natural resources. The subject is then practically forgotten — until the next season arrives when there is a repetition of the same arguments and appeals to the public to take precautions. 4 Notwithstanding the admittedly very serious losses of past years, comparative little real progress has been made in preventing fires. — The position is such as to call for more drastic methods and for greater co-operation between the Federal and Provincial Govern- ments and the protective associations. To this end the Governments _ should get together with a view of co- ordinating their plans and of developing schemes which will result in a diminution of conflagra- : tions. The Quebec Government last season took a step in the direc- tion of securing the co-operation of other Governments at boundary. ‘ points so that the forces could unite in the case of fires occurring at places near these points. The prevention of forest fires is of national importance and no question of provincial rights should interfere with the work. Now is the time to take action. The Federal Government is as much concerned with the con- servation of natural resources as any Provincial Government and should take the initiative in calling at once a conference with the object of considering what further can be done to prevent this annual waste. The conference should not end with mere discussion. What is wanted is some practical scheme which can surely be devised by men who have had long experience in the work. Let the Govern- ment call in the heads of the forest protective associations and re- ceive the benefit of their advice. While the extension of protective work would involve a heavier cost, the outlay will mean a good in- vestment if it results in saving the resources on which the lumber and pulp and paper industries depend for their continuance. It is significant that the Maritime Board of Trade has: passed a resolution calling upon provincial governments to appoint chief fire rangers with a technical knowledge of fire prevention and control ~ and to pursue a more aggressive policy of reforestation. bs The Secret of Getting - Every manager wants to get the largest possible cash return from his work—his job. He wants to get all the business he can. He wants to make friends. He wants to learn all he can from others. pie we There is a secret to getting this. ing to get. The amount of money he gets at the end of the month - depends, as he knows, upon his usefulness to the firm; upon — the amount of goods he sells for his employer during the | weeks and months. He who gives of himself most liberally to the service of his employer Bene ay Pat ec in the Kim of getting more. He who is most liberal in giving time and attention and service to customers is qualifying for getting business from these same people. oy He who tries to help others finds that he is receiving moze help than he gives. He who is friendly, finds that all are his friends. : The man who is liberal in giving money and time to good oe causes seems to prosper in proportion to his giving, while the man who is penurious and “tight” seems never to have any- thing, in spite of his parsimony. It is hard to explain or express this seeming paradox, but we Can serve our own interests no better than by being en- tirely unselfish in our motives and actions.

The new capital provided amounts to $10,000,000 and the _ capital and debt are now cut in half. _ The reorganization of the Riordon Co. will mean a big saving in a interest and overhead charges. The plan calls for the reduction of _ total indebtedness from $33,000,000 to $18,000,000 and a reduction in _ preferred capitalization from $20,000,000 to approximately $15,000,000 and the combined totals from $53,000,000 to about $34,000,000. This _will mean that the annual interest charges, including interest on cur- _ rent bank loans, will be cut from about $2,000,000 to approximately g $1,250,000 and the total of such charges plus full annual dividend requirements on preferred stocks from $3,500,000 to $2,335,000. Aften all new financing has been completed the company will _ have in the neighborhood of $4,500,000 in net working capital and in addition will have a substantial amount of saleable assets not required for the conduct of their business, including about 475 square miles of outlying timber limits. =. There are several points in the reorganized Riordon plan which are of special interest to readers of the “Canada Lumberman.” These _ relate to the timber properties of the company and the annual pro- _ duction of lumber. It should be stated that the assets and liabilities _ of the Riordon Co. include those of the Riordon Sales Corporation - and the Riordon Pulp Corporation, whose assets and business will be consolidated with those of the Riordon Co. in the reorganization. The Character of Timber Supply a In describing the properties it is pointed out that the timber limits tributary to he Kipawa will, include the Bronson and O’Brien _ purchases, cover over 2,500 square miles on the Upper Ottawa water- _ shed and are estimated to contain nearly 7,000,000 cords of pulpwood as well as 100,000,000 feet, board measure, of pine timber. The - Rouge River limits tributary to the Hawkesbury mill, cover over 1,200 square miles, with an estimated 2,000,000 cords of pulp- - wood. The Calumet sawmill situated across the Ottawa River _ from Hawkesbury, was wholly rebuilt a few years ago and is a very efficient mill with a capacity of over 15,000,000 feet of rough lumber per annum. ; The Gatineau Company will have, with the addition of the Dominion Bank limits which will be transflerred to it by the Riordon _ Company, about 5,800 square miles of timber limits.in the Gatineau _ yalley, and saw mills at Hull and Rockland having an annual capacity of 75,000,000 feet of lumber, the current product being about 80% pine and 20% spruce. The estimated amount of timber on the Gatin- eau limits is about 12,500,000 cords of pulpwood and over 700,000,000 » feet of pine. Although, the Riordon and Gatineau Companies’ timber limits (practically all held under Government licenses) aggregate about _ 9,500 square miles on three watersheds, and these limits are estimated to contain a total of over 20,000,000 cords of pulpwood against an annual consumption by the present Riordon pulp mills of about ~ 200,000 cords. ps Y The transportation of all pulpwood and saw logs from the limits _ to the mills is by river, and as the Gatineau River empties into the Ottawa about 60 miles above Hawkesbury, Gatineau wood is avail- _ able for economical delivery not only at any point near the mouth of the Gatineau River where a new mill might be constructed, but also - at Hawkesbury and Calumet, The Output of Manufactured Lumber The lumber production is :— Location Product Annual Capa- city ft. b.m. ....Pine and Spruce.... 35,000,000 ~ Rockland No.1.

No logging at all was done during the winter of 1921-22, so that the present season is the first full season of active operation under rea- sonably normal business conditions since the acquisition of the pro- perties. On the basis of careful studies and competent opinions form many sources, it is believed that an estimate of $500,000 average annual earnings from the Gatineau Company as now developed, be- fore interest and depreciation, or about $250,000 over its own inter- est charges (after the new financing) is thoroughly conservative. | Operating profits for the current year are expected to run consider- ably above this figure. The Gatineau Company is presently developed only as a lumber enterprise. With a sound capital structure designed to lend itself to future financing, an admirable site for the construction of a mill (to. produce either groundwood, newsprint or sulphite pulp as a study of market conditions and probable future demands may indicate), econ- omical power, ample wood supply, and a ready and growing market for commercial power only a few miles away, it is obvious that the real earning power of the company is yet to tbe developed. a The secured indebtedness (other than the bonded indebtedness — and the accrued interest on the General Mortgage 6% Bonds, to be taken care of) including claims in any way privileged or preferred and certain claims against subsidiary and affiliated companies, is as follows :— (a) Purchase money obligations and small mortgages (1) O’Brien timber limits (Riordon Company) ... $1,200,000.00 | (2) Bronson properties (Riordon Company) 650,000.00 | (3) Edwards properties (Gatineau Company) .... 1,413,796.54 (4) Gilmour & Hughson properties (Gatineau Co. 1,944,405.74 | (5) Dominion Bank timber limits (to be transferred a to Gatineau Company) ........ 323,375.63 # 206,750.04 (6) Miscellaneous small mortgages (Riordon Com- pany and subsidiaries) $5,738,327.95 In a letter to the shareholders of the Riordon Co., the Board — of Directors refer to the plan for financing the 1923 operations for the supply of pulpwood and lumber. Credits for over $3,000,000 were arranged, and to provide securities for these advances, the Company’s plants were leased, with the right to operate, to a new | company incorporated under the name of “Riordon Pulp Corporation | % Limited.” This corporation also purchased the Company’s working | assets. Both the lease and purchase are subject to the con- dition that the Company may at any time terminate the arrangement and reclaim its properties upon payment to the Pulp Corporation of the liabilities incurred by it in carrying the operations of the Com- | pany. As a result of the new credits thus obtained the mills are | assured a sufficient supply of. pulpwood and logs for the current year at a cost that will allow profitable operation. | The Ford taxi came to a sudden halt in the middle of the street. “What's the matter?” called the man from the rear seat. “T thought the young lady said ‘stop’”’ answered the driver. “Well, she wasn’t speaking to you, was she?” 48 wi CANADA LUMBERMAN gtk Rati ae So a Lumberman is Accorded High Honor SURES. 3 Cc.

Andetson Lumber Co. and the Anderson-Miller Lumber Co., Limited, Toronto, wholesale dealers in soft and hardwoods. Mr. Anderson has been in the wholesale lumber line for some fifteen years and in that time has built up a wide connection. Pre- vious to becoming identified with forest products, he was for sever- al years engaged in the bridge building department of the ‘Min- neapolis & St. Louis Railway at Minneapolis, Minnesota. He was born in Dufferin ‘County near Orangeville, in 1876 and as a youth took much interest in la- crosse and other sports. He is a life member of the Weston Golf and Country ‘Club and also a mem- ber of the Oakwood Lawn Bowling Club. Mr. Anderson has been a ‘Kiwanian for several years and in 1922 did faithful work as chair- man of the Entertainment Committee. He is a P.M. of Alpha Lodge, No. 384 and was honored by being made an I.P.M. of Dufferin Lodge, No. 570, on its formation. He is also a member of the Scottish Rite -and Toronto Chapter, R.A.M., No. 185. His recent selection as one of the District Deputy Grand Masters of Toronto, is a tribute to his ‘zeal and energy in upholding and promoting the ideals and principles of the craft. * } “ j e C. G.

Half a century ago he hewed square timbers on the banks of the Ottawa and its tributaries and was such an adept in ; the use of the broad axe that a piece of timber hewed by him had every appearance of being planed by modern machinery. About five years ago he suffered an injury to his hip and was practically an invalid to his death. Mr. Stoughton was born near Perth, Ont., and is survived by one son and a daughter. His wife predeceased him in 1921. Costly Western Sawmill is Scrapped ; The Rat Portage Lumber Co’s mill at Harrison Mills, B.C., into which the late Sir Douglas Cameron, former lieutenant-governor of Manitoba, put $450,000, has been dismantled. This well-known plant was operating for only two short seasons and then stood idle for eleven years. The valuable equipment was bought by a Van- couver firm and constituted 47 carloads. The band wheel of the mill was one of the largest ever installed. It weighed 62,000 lbs. and required two freight cars to carry it. The original mill on the site of the Rat Portage Lumber com- ‘pany plant was owned by the Martin Brothers, cousins of the late Joseph Martin. This enterprise was succeeded by the Harrison Mills Timber and Trading company, in which Arthur and James Trethe- way, of Vancouver, T. H. Jackson, of Minnedosa, T. A. Cuddy, of Winnipeg, and J. Boyd, of Vancouver were interested, the capital- ization of the company being $250,000. .The new mill had a capa- ‘city of 75,000 feet per day and was operated day and night for Several seasons. In this company Sir Douglas Cameron bought a half interest for $125,000. The cheque in payment was made out uit before the deal was consummated the mill was burned. Sir Douglas then bought the property outright and erected the last mill at a cost of $450,000 at stated. Due to a variety of causes, including the outbreak of the war and the disruption of business in other ways the mill soon suspended and did not resume operations. Virgin Timber Exhausted in Ten Years Dr. Carlton C. Curtis, associate professor of botany at Columbia University, New York, who has sailed for Havre on the first leg of a trip to the Mediterranean and the West Indies, predicted that the virgin timber resources of the United States will be virtually exhausted in about ten years. He deprecated the lack of activity on — the part of the Government and the small appropriations made for — reforestation. ' : ae Professor Curtis cited the fact that several centuries ago the United States had more than 832,000,000, acres of timberland, while — at present it has less than 140,000,000 acres. He predicted that in 25 years the American colleges would be sending their graduates td the older timber tracts throughout the country to restore the forest and that the students would find this work of greater interest than indulging in professional activities in the cities. ‘i More Lumber Sold and at Higher Price Statement of lumber manufactured, sales and prices realized b the Canadian Western Lumber Company, Limited (which includ the Columbia River Lumber Company, Limited) Fraser Mills, B. for the month of July, 1923, compared with the corresponding per % last year and from January Ist to end of July, 1922 and 1923 is © * given here: re 1922—Feet 1923—Feet Lumber manutactireds fase pater ae 11,493,441 11,535,900 Lumber sold") 5.7) Aver oe cee eee 11,192,094 ~ 11,093,369 3 Price’ realized sees seidatodt b ricitrolt) met ate $273,589 $312,934 Aggregate lumber manufactured 1st Jan. . i seal to end of July co ,. on ae 60,490,283 68,238,130 Aggregate lumber sold Ist Jan: to end ae a Of July tact ene eee tas SUE eee 67,681,745.“ 71joat 52 ee Aggregate price realized from 1st Jan. to peace ee i etid of uly la) eee a eee $1,549,854 $2,033,173 How is This for a Fish Narrative? The prize fish story comes from a mining man of Seattle, Wash., who recently declared that fish climbed trees in British Columbia when the rivers start to rise. The name of the narrator is Hal Dramm. He lately got back from visiting his gold properties at the foot of Salmon Glacier in British Columbia twenty miles from Hyder, Alaska, and states that he saw fish hanging from the trees. The river had been swollen and when it receded many salmon four _ to six feet long were left suspended from limbs, so he avers. Mr. Dramm evidently had a dram or two in excess when he saw those piscatorial prodigies amid the sylvan surroundings. Lack of Co-operation in Retail Yard Editor, Canada Lumberman: apres ce ae Sir, I should like to bring to your attention.an incident which happened during the last few weeks, and shall appreciate anything you can do to remedy this kind of thing. Evidently there is lack of co-operation among the various departments of the lumber trade, and this kind of treatment is not conducive to improving business, but quite the contrary. During the month of July I ordered a quantity of ready cut win- dow and door sash from a Toronto firm. ‘This order was confirmed on July 27th and delivery was to take place within two or three weeks. When delivery was made, within the specified time, it was found that fully two-thirds of the order had to be returned owing to details not having been carried out correctly. - ee yd Pa It is now a month since the first delivery was made, and still the correct sash has not been delivered. But in the interval several bills have been sent in. At each request for payment, I have phoned ~~ and advised that I am still waiting for completion of the order, but the only effect this has was seen in the receipt of a curt demand for payment made within the last few days, and a threat of dire conse- quences of same if not forthcoming. This time I got in direct touch with the book-keeper and also mailed the offensive statement back with the remark that payment would be made immediately goods were delivered. Fork Sno For my own part, I am almost inclined to sue them for breach of contract, and if there is any more unpleasantness coming from thein, shall undoubtedly do so. The four weeks which have elapsed would _ have been more than enough for me to complete the job on hand, if be the goods had been delivered. But now I am called to the far side of the city and must needs lose hours each day in getting to and froin — the unfinished job, when the necessary materials are received. ie a ; This is enough to disgruntle a man without having the offending _ firm call on him in such a rude manner for payment for goods that have not yet been delivered. A little closer co-operation between shipping and book-keeping departments is all that is needed to put an end to such mistakes, Cannot you do something to bring about — this state of affairs? ea Very truly yours, tage Meru Citisernchs _ First Sitting of Pulpwood Commission The first public hearing of the Royal Commission appointed to invesigate the pulpwood resources of Canada will be held in Hali- fax on October 2nd. This is the only date which has yet been de- cided on by the commission, but hearings in other Maritime Province cities will follow the Halifax one. At the headquarters of the com- mission here, it was stated that ample notice of the sittings of the commission would be given to the public, so that those persons de- siring to make representations would have an opportunity to make preparations. In the meantime, the organization work of the com- mission is proceeding. It is probable that hearings will be held from coast to coast. a” Good Progress on New Kenora Mill > It is expected that the new newsprint mill of the Backus-Brooks Co. at Kenora, Ont., will be in operation by January next. Good progress is being made on the structure. The groundwood pulp plant, capable of turning out 80 tons of pulp daily, was put into operation last fall. The capacity of the newsprint mill, now under way, will be 100 tons daily. The output will be increased by 100 tons additional each year through enlargements to the plant until a maximum of 1,000 tons a day will have been reached. The plant will then be the largest of its kind in the world. The Backus inter- ests intend to build a railroad about 80 miles in length from Kenora to the English River timber limits. a Building Good Dwellings for Their Men The Spruce Falls Co., of Kapuskasing, Ont., are building 52 _ houses this year for their employees in the sulphite pulp plant. All _ of these houses are of the four-roomed type with modern conveni- ences, neat in design. Siding is used for a half storey and above _ that shingles. The average cost of these houses is about $3,000 each. _ £E. J. Jones, general-manager, states that the company are not mak- _ ing any improvements to their plant this season but are busy so far as pulpwood operations are concerned. The Spruce Falls Co. ex- pect to get in between 50,000 and 60,000 cords during the coming season, possibly half of which come from settlers. , =... Van Horne Favored Pulpwood Embargo — a “a and creator of numerous other important and successful Canadian _ enterprises. always maintained that Canada should not allow the _ export of pulpwood. He waged a strenuous fight with the govern- _ ment of the day to protect Canadian forests and the Canadian paper- _ making industry by prohibiting the export of unfinished pulpwood. _ “Stumps and holes in the ground; that is all we have to show _ for our exports,” declared Van Horne one day. “One cord of pulp- - wood exported from ‘Canada yields to Canada and all her interests _ less than six dollars, ‘but the same cord of pulpwood manufactured into paper yields thirty-six. dollars.” The figures would be higher today but the principle and the proportion would remain the same. _ Van Horne also remarked, “No sane individual would waste his raw _ materials in such a way when he could do so much better with them, _ and I can see no good reason why a government should do so any _more than an individual.’ Laurentide Co. Expects Good Year At a recent meeting of the Laurentide Co., Montreal, it was clared that the outlook for the coming year was good. President 4 ‘Chahoon expects a steady demand for paper at a fair price. The old board of directors was re-elected and stands as follows:—George _Chahoon, jun., president; Charles R.

The late Sir William Van Eorne, builder of the Canadian Pacific — ; 1 a “i = “i ponoone (MADAMA «oo oo oo fe at | President Chahoon, in moving the adoption of the annual report, stated that the indications are for as satisfactory a year as that just passed by the company. He expects. a demand for the entire output of the company’s mills at a fair price. Mr. Chahoon in his remarks to shareholders stated that he had really nothing new to tell them— that it was the same old story from year to year. The company was prospering and he wished that a greater number of shareholders would come down and see their property for themselves. He fur- ther stated that the two paper:machines, which were now in opera- tion about two and one-half years, and which were designed by them-_ selves and manufactured by a concern which had never before pro- duced machines of this kind, were giving very satisfactory results. The machines were designed with a view to- producing 75 tons of newsprint each per day, or 150 tons in all, and he was very proud to state that their operation exceeded this figure and that for some time past the machines in question had been producing at the aver- age daily rate of 171 tons. Pulpwood Cut in Quebec Will be Heavy A feature of the coming winter’s operations in the Quebec for- ests, especially the fire-swept areas, will be the abnormal cut of pulp- wood which will necessitate the large demand for labor, and as a natural result, a demand for increased wages which will affect gen- | eral lumber operations in the Canadian woods. There are many — essential phases of a serious nature in this connection which are worthy of consideration. There is no gainsaying the fact that this — class of wood will have to be cut to save same from worm destruc-_ tion, but the vast quantities of pulpwood estimated to be cut are bound to react against the operators and dealers who have not the — independent means and will have to look to the banks for their finan- cing. It is interesting to note that a large cut of pulpwood was made © last year by the pulp and paper mill interests who have not used up — in manufacturing production more than sixty per cent. of their stock. Another thing to be considered is that sixty-seven per cent. more pulpwood was exported from the province of Quebec to the American mills this summer up to date than in the spring and summer of 1922, © the American mills, taking advantage of the delay in the embargo proposition to obtain all the wood they possibly can before the Com- mission on investigation submits its recommendations to the Federal — Govérnment. -A more serious aspect, however, is anticipated by the Quebec pulpwood dealers who contend that with the prospects of an abnor- mal cut this winter, it means in prospective a dangerous reduction in the price of wood to the detriment of the operator and broker de- — pendent on the banks for financial aid. It is true that pulpwood cut — in the fire devastated areas, can be preserved for two years or more after being cut by placing the wood in water storage, but in order to do this financial assistance from the banks will be required and the interest on the money thus borrowed will have to be met. Con- sequently the pulpwood interests with little or practically no capi- tal, must be prepared to meet the situation; if not, they will be unable_ to meet their notes and the banks will be likely to insist on sales to recover their advances. Should such a situation occur, as is very | likely, the small wood holders and brokers embodied, will be obliged to part with their holdings at a sacrifice to meet their banking obliga~ _ tions which will be the forerunner of a very unfavorable reaction in the price of pulpwood to affect the whole market except the big sol- vent interests who will eventually profit by the outcome. This is rather a serious aspect to put. on the prospective situation in the event of a large cut of pulpwood by the speculator this com- ing winter; nevertheless it is the visualized opinion of the old and more experienced lumbermen of Quebec who feel that in the event of © such a happening, the creation of an opportunity for the American pulp and paper interests, who with their business minds constantly concentrated on the wood situation in Canada, will be quick to take advantage thereof. There are conditions which justify the embargo on the exportation of Canadian pulpwood to the United States as proposed by the Dominion Government. It is pleasing to note that the pulpwood interests in the city and 2 CANADA LUMBERMAN ge Se eae district of Ouebec, who viewed with alarm the government embargo proposal! and sent a deputation to Ottawa to oppose the embargo, have come, after mature consideration, to change their minds. They still persist in their opposition to an immediate placing of the em- bargo, saying they realized the wisdom ot the government in the in- terest of the protection of Canada’s forests and sacrifice of its raw material, but pray that the embargo be only put into effect after they have completed all their present contracts with the United States. In the meantime the Pulpwood Commission appointed by the Fed- eral Government, has entered upon its duties of investigations and should have no difficulty in coming to a decision to meet the views of the Canadian lumber interests and the general public. It is en- gaged on a work which requires its serious consideration, for the benefit of Canada’s entire forest resources and the disposition of the country’s raw material for manufactured production in the country — which should be studied purely on a business basis without any sentiment or feeling for the friendship of the United States. The importance of Canada’s export trade in wood and wood pro- ducts and paper can easily be gauged and judged by the Commission from the fact that in four months ending with July last, the total value.of these exports amounted to $90,876,789, of which sum $77,- 229,717 is accounted for by shipment to the United States. Authen- tic statistics show that the Dominion expors of merchandise of all varieties in this same period was $306,205,390; goods worth $136,522,- 190 going to the United States, which means that wood, wood pro- ducts and paper made up roughly thirty per cent. of Canada’s total exports to all countries during the four months mentioned. About eighty-four per cent. of the total exports of wood and wood products went to the United States which subtracted from Canada’s total ex- ports of $136,522,190 places the value of all other products exported by Canada to the United States at $59,292,473 for four months ending July last. ; The value added to the raw material by manufacture in Canada by Canadian labor would be enormous, the benefit of which is reaped _ by the manufacturing interests and labor of the United States with- out taking into consideration the exploitation of Canada’s forest re- sources of raw material, while the American forest resources are be- ing preserved and added to by reforestation. Must Augment Growth of Softwoods In the formal report of the activities of the Empire Forestry Conference which concluded its sessions recently in Victoria, B.C., fire protection and silviculture were dealt with. The importance of every part of the Empire conserving and augmenting its own resources of growing coniferous timber, in view of the great and increasing drain on the softwood forests of the world,, was empha- sized in a resolution submitted by Roland Craig, Ottawa, and sec- onded by Owen Jones, Australia. Mr. Craig said that, according to Col. Greely, of the United States Forestry Department, the consumption of softwoods in the United States exceeds by four times the estimated annual growth. Mr. James said that the hardwood supplies were sufficient, but the softwood supplies deserved very serious thought. The members of the conference were greatly impressed by the extensive waste prevalent in most of the logging operations and saw- mills which they visited. It was the opinion that while this waste is doubtless due in large measure to the local economic conditions of the industry, it is responsible for the loss of much national wealth, and in the interests of both Canada and the Empire’s timber supply, should be reduced to a minimum. Royal Commission on Pulpwood Organizing The Royal Commission which was appointed some time ago to investigate the pulpwood resources of Canada, held the first of its sittings to effect the organization, in the office of Hon. W. S. Field- ing, Minister of Finance, at Ottawa lately. There were present Joseph Picard, of Quebec, chairman of the Commission, and its -.members—A. B. Kerr, Toronto; R. W. McLellan, Fredericton; Joseph G. Sutherland, Clyde River, N.S., and W. A. Anstie, of Van- -couver. Hon. W. S. Fielding, Minister of Finance, was also in i attendance. It was stated at the close of the session that no itinerary has as yet been mapped out and that further meetings will be held in the capital for organization purposes before public hearings in lead- ing centres are proceeded with. With the commission preparing to get down to business, there are many rumors afloat with respect to the proposed embargo on freehold pulpwood. Many of these, however, are groundless or are evidently being spread for political purposes. Several to the effect that the federal government has decided to place an embargo on the export of wood and that the restriction will go into effect within twelve months. It is declared that a certain amount of latitude will ‘action of any kind was taken. It is this commission which began its ay OPK SE RBC aN ENA Re. es iS Ne ; K a >/ +o be allowed in respect to the rigid regulations. For one thing it is understood that existing contracts will be respected for a period 0} ten years, and furthermore the restrictions are likely to be lighter or lifted from time to time in respect to wood cut in certain areas — yet to be specified, but understood to be in districts where conditions — are not favorable for the establishment of mills at the present time. — It will be remembered that during the last session of Parliament — Hon. Mr. Fielding introduced a resolution for an amendment to the - Export Act giving the Government power by Order-in-Council to — prohibit the exportation of pulpwood. The subject was discussed at length and given its second reading and opinion as to the advis- ability of taking this action was very divided. The attitude of t Government then and subsequently when it was decided to appoint a commission of inquiry, was that it viewed the matter of conserva- — tion as being much more important than the mere matter of an embargo. an Premier King eventually made a statement, in response to an — inquiry by Mr. Cahill of Pontiac, that any action the Government — might take under the legislation would provide that wood grown by ~ farmers on their property would be exempt from provisions pro- hibiting export. Subsequently it was announced that a Royal Com- cission would be appointed to inquire into the whole question befor labors recently. PEG ok ——_ ——— Merely Move to Shelve the Tssue Frank J. D. Barnjum, of Montreal, who is a valiant champion of Forest conservation, in a recent interview declares that there is no necessity for the study of prohibition of unmanufactured wood — exports, and that the announcement of Hon. Mr. Fielding lacks the ~ ring of sincerity and is evidently a move to: shelve the issue. Mr. Barnjum asserts that if the government is sincere in its announced — desire to investigate the question, it can find plenty of convincing — evidence to warrant such a policy at very little expenditure of time and money. He urges the necessity of the situation, and appended — is his convincing climax :— , i “In the face of these conditions, and having all the facts before — them, the Dominion Government deliberately trifles with the situa- — tion and tries to humbug the people with the announcement that a commission will be appointed to ‘investigate.’ There can be only — one conclusion, and that is that the Government is recreant to its — trust and indifferent to the public welfare. ; ¥ “To my mind, this is a bigger issue than any other now before a the country, and it will become still greater as the days go by. There ~ is still time’ for the Government, at this session of Parliament, to disregard its feeble attempt to deal with the situation and put on the © statute books a law that will protect Canada’s forests from the ruth- less exploitation to which they are now being subjected and to con- @ serve one of our greatest national assets for the country’s own benefit. — Ii it fails to do so, I, for one, shall conclude that it and the party — behind it are no longer worthy of support, and I fully believe that — the great mass of the voters of Canada will take the same view. I have no hesitation in predicting that the flagrant disregard of Can- ada’s interest, as displayed in their dealings with this question, if — persisted in, will bring about the ignominious defeat of Mr. King’s © Government and of the Liberal party at no very distant day.” ; Many articles have appeared in the “Canada Lumberman” from time to time as to why the export of Canadian pulpwood from private lands should be checked. Any country, which exports its raw mater- ials, has never grown great or strong. This fact is amply demon- strated by a study of the history of all civilized nations. There are so many arguments in favor of a prohibitive measure that they far — outweigh any reasons which may be put forth in support of the free © and open method of sale and distribution. ks Sa Logging Railway for Abitibi Company ~ Now that the company’s railroad into its timber limits is ruu- ning, and with it some thirteen mile of branch lines, the Abitibi Power and Paper Company will be able to effect several savings. _ The railway will make it possible to get wood to the mill all Winter, thereby rendering unnecessary a big wood pile, All now required will ‘be a reserve to provide against costly shut-downs in ~ case of temporary accidents to the railroad. Smaller wood pile — means hundreds of thousands of dollars free which would other- . wise ibe locked up in wood. Also the smaller wood pile means — reduced insurance charges. The company railroad brings other sav- — ings, since the logs can be loaded and brought to camp more quickly than they can be logged to the river from distant parts of the limits. _ These savings are important parts as offsetting the increased labor — charges resulting from the increase of about 5 cents an hour given “i in May. 5 . ar be ce a iglghacat ca hi ae ore cone ALO Sil gee fea aha A CANADA LUMBERMAN 51 ays Li SATAY aw j, [= | ) F [DY Fe # CONE ji IPs HA om IG Daa! ins oe mae isin wale lle: oe Montreal Trade is Quiet with Prices Firm On the whole business in Montreal is quiet. While some whole- salers are doing a fair trade, others state that orders are few and far ‘between. There is a decline in inquiries and in actual business with © socks houses, due, no doubt, to some extent to the fact that stocks bought some time ago have not yet been disposed of. The - position generally is satisfactory as prices of spruce are holding firm, with indications that this will continue for some time. In one or two directions the supply is by no means abundant. The retail line is keeping up pretty well. There is still consid- _ erable activity in building although the tendency is towards a decline _ in new construction as compared with the same period in 1922. Re- _ tailers are buying in moderate lots and are continuing the policy of _ not keeping large stocks. _ Exports to the U. K. are slow and unless there is an unusual rush at the end of the season, the figures this year will show a sub- 4 stantial decrease as compared with 1922. The prices of Canadian _ lumber are not sufficiently attractive for the Old Country market, in _ addition to which industrial conditions, especially in shipbuilding, are _ against any large demand for our lumber. The arrival in the port of the SS “Peter Keve” from Vancouver _ with a large cargo of timber marks a still further stage in the West 5 Coast lumber trade via the Panama Canal. This is the eighth ves- _ sel to arrive this season and brings the total of the shipments up toa very large figure. The trade has been developed by Knox Bros., _ Limited, who specialize in B. C. forest products. ay Woods operations in the province of Quebec are proceeding at ie good pace. The pulp and paper companies in particular are very active and will take out all the wood they can, while those concerns with American affiliations have extensive cutting programmes, in _ spite of the fact that some of the principals aver that the proposed embargo on pulpwood is more or less bluff. In the meantime, they ~ will get all the supplies possible from this side of the line. Many 8 ‘men have been sent from Montreal to the Quebec and Ontario camps but there i isa demand for many more. b Gaucher es tars Look for Bigger Business The cessation of the dockers’ strike at British seaports towards the latter part of August has caused a renewal in shipment of timber a Bad deals from the port of Quebec. This applies to the completion of the orders received by the Quebec timber and sawn lumber ex- port firms last winter and spring and does not apply to any new orders as very few, if any, are being received owing to the demoral- ization of the British lumber market caused by the dockers’ strike. 4 The total quantities of sawn lumber and timber shipped from the - port of Quebec this season of navigation up to August 31, was 8,361,- 4 281 feet, bm. Since that date there have been three steamer ‘ship- 4 ments up to September 15th. The SS “Kenbane Head,” sailing for _ Belfast, took on board 40 loads of birch, 175 loads of elm and 600 ~ loads of waney pine shipped by John Burstall & Co.: ; 50 loads of _ waney pine and 25 standards of spruce deals shipped by W. & J. Ee Sharples Co., Limited. The SS “Manchester Division,” sailed for _ Manchester with 150 loads of waney pine, shipped by W. & J. Sharples Co., Limited, and the SS “Manchester Skipper,” also bound Rim Manchester, carried 150 loads of waney pine shipped by John - Burstall & Co. and 150 loads of waney pine shipped by W. & J. _ Sharples Co., Limited, with several other shipments booked for the month of September. i In the meantime a number of inquiries have been made by cables from United Kingdom importers who have offered prices hich cannot be entertained, and judging from present appearances, very few orders will be booked during the remaining months of this season of navigation for shipment this fall. The prospects for 1924 , however, bright but the Quebec lumber firms and limit holders awaiting further advices before they prepare their estimates for gging in the woods this coming winter. It is generally conceded by the older and more experienced bec lumbermen that there will be an unusually big demand for dian wood in 1924. They base their calculation on a settlement European political. difficulties in the near future and easier ey circulation in England by a restoration of confidence in finan- circles, to be followed by activities in construction and imports E, pope at continental countries. Another factor considered is the he general elections in Southern Ireland, which has placed a Ms Govern ent on a oe paste and eventually will in- SMS w= E00 = = og aay i Tt i ae Ue i) IEW Wi ) i) pues) lia Fr 7s fe lA AY, fi] OG Eile pul fii lM ew = 7 me=| “Ales Ell ‘ iu all hi : Ih yi =I No Mu oe (ill | ¥ Sie III Bem ES === == == re oie mf tt Te et aualgl Tele Eastern Canada and the American market leaves nothing to com- fluence the economic interests with confidence. Ireland is known to ~ be very much in need of reconstruction and it can be safely said that when the new Free State starts its legislation, it will herald the be- ginning of a new era of business activity in that country to assure a demand for Canadian lumber. Another factor being considered is the Japanese catastrophe which will require an unlimited quantity of material for reconstruc- tion which will include wood. ‘It is realized that the Canadian wood demanded will be largely exported from British Columbia and not at all from the far removed Eastern Canada. But the East will benefit — from the fact that British Columbia will have all it can do to supply — the demand from the Orient and, in consequence, cease to compete © with the Eastern Canada lumber trade in the New York and middle United States market. In the meantime, the lumber trade between plain of. The Quebec mills are well booked with American orders and the volume in shipments steady without any sign of diminish- ment. According to the advices received by the Quebec timber and sawn lumber shippers from their British agents, the wood trade interests in the United Kingdom are heartened and optimistic at the prospects © of a new life in business for the year 1924. The willingness of the German Government to enter into an economic agreement with France is now in evidence. The German industrials have for some — time past been endeavoring to bring about such a co-operative ar- rangement, which of late has assumed a more concrete complexion by the German Government’s evident willingness to forego passive resistance in the Ruhr. The British business interests, who are watching the situation closely, are impressed with the opinion that — Germany has come to understand that she is drifting from bad to | worse and on the eve of a revolution if something is not done to re- — lieve the tense situation that has become serious and unbearable. i Poincare, the Premier of France, and one of the most astute — politicians in Europe, who well knows the psychology of the German mind and his devious moves on the political chessboard, is in no hurry to come to terms with the wily Germans. The French Pre- | mier is determined to have unqualified security before he meets the | situation in negotiable co-operation with Stressman. There are posi- | tive signs to this end in line with the prognostications made in the | columns of the “Canada Lumberman” during the past several months | and now the signs are that the political aipicularea in Europe will all be regulated and adjusted by Christmas to herald in a happier and ~ more prosperous new year of 1924. ¢ Dilating retrospectively on the past several years of business un- | certainty since the war, British experts in the wood business say the © seven weeks of the dockers’ strike at the British ports have done as much harm as the political difficulties, and it will take until Christ- | mas before the wood market in England will be able to function into a condition of satisfactory activity to help out the Canadian lumber — export trade. In the meantime the rise in prices of Swedish and Finnish wood will eventually aid the Canadian shipper, these continental sellers’ becoming obsessed with the idea that Canada is no longer a serious competitor. At the present time there is a growing opinion in Great — Britain that shippers of wood will eventually give way in prices and © that the best policy is to wait. There is no doubt but that this feei- _ ing is due to nervousness occasioned by the unsettled condition of — Europe, as well as the uncertainties of labor demands, a feeling which — will gradually disappear when the business interests of Greats Britain © begin to realize that the political horizon of Europe gives every evid- | ence of clearing. %, It may be ‘said that the financial interests of England, who have © had their telescopic vision centred on the political and economic con- — ditions of the European world for the past five years or since the | signing of the Armistice in 1918, in study of the aftermath effects of © the war, have, at least, become assured that there is a break in the © dark hov ering clouds to denote the beginning of the end and the ~ promise of a complete ironing out of sai European difficulties by © Christmas.

(Continued from page 51) the grace of good sports, obsessed with the confidence that England, the soundest in her financial stability, would ultimately recover with abound. One of the reasons for this admirable spirit of hopefulness stands out pre-eminently in the recent statistics published in regard to the general trade of the United Kingdom, to show that the trade “every avenue of the business life of England during the past year s under the current circumstances been fairly satisfactory, demon- ating that there is still a considerable amount of buying power left in the nation. - As regards the continent, sales have been small and business ‘retarded by the political uncertainties and fluctuations of exchange ‘but the time is now approaching when the English timber importing interests must take risks. They are beginning to feel that they cannot delay any longer in making purchases on the best possible terms owing to urgent needs for goods, realizing that there is still a _ buying power on the continental market and good prospects for large quantities of their present stocks at current-rates, thereby leaving _ the market in a firm position for the beginning of the year 1924. ’ In demonstration of the stability of the wood business in Eng- land and cause for the spirit of optimism now prevailing, it may be pointed out that during the month of August, notwithstanding the _ holiday spirit and taking into consideration the dockers’ strike, busi- mess in so far as it concerned the timber trade, was fairly good. _ Orders were and still continue frequent and the supply of railway -Waggons was found to be inadequate to deal with the volume of trade demands in the various parts of England. The Midlands _ bought more freely both as to sawn and planed lumber and on the _ north coast there was continual activity. In London ready goods _ were largely sought and competed for and higher prices paid. But the confusion at the port in consequence of the dockers’ strike and _ congestion in shipping and unloading was so great as to make busi- ness difficult. “However,” the advices go on to state, “it is pleasing _ to report a steady consumption of sawn lumber and a firm tendency _ in prices. In the Humber district there is plenty of stock and, for- _ tunately, a good demand for consumption, but, as in London, some _ of the importers are selling their goods cheaply for financial reasons. a House-building is expanding and there is scarcely a limit to the _ new houses required. But money is tight and a difficulty is being ex- _ perienced in adjusting accounts and this applies to almost all sections of the country. ee isa . ce Lumber Business in Ontario is Steady Business in the general lumber line in Ontario does not show much marked change over the past month. Some yards have not _ worked down the stock:they have bought. Building itself has fallen _ off considerably in a number of localities. Other retailers report _ that there has been quite an improvement in their sections since the harvest is over, and the outlook for fall is regarded as very good. _ Prices are holding firm in most all lines although it is reported that _ some dealers have been offering reductions on spruce, while busi- _ salers report a number of carload orders believing that the business exists if one will only get out and “dig” for it. A number of mills are preparing to terminate their season’s cut and are getting ready for logging. As soon as outside construction _ work closes down and men return from the western harvest, it is be- lieved that the labor situation will be considerably relieved. Bush- men are being offered $40 to $45, but it is not thought that any higher figure will be paid. This is $5 to $10 more than last year, and manufacturers contend that the prices received for their stocks do not justify the existing scale of woods wages. _ On the whole the business outlook for fall is fairly steady. At present the market in both hard and softwoods is characterized by conflicting evidence. There are varying reports but the underlying trend continues in a direction which certainly heads for improve- ‘ment and all ripples of comment and doubt are only surface indica- tions” rather than underlying influences. Confidence is being re- ‘stored and there is improvement of the mental state of business “men in general. Augmented assurance is manifested in a decreas- ing general tendency to push sales when prices soften. It is sup- yrted iby definite knowledge that available stocks are much below e that are normally on hand at this season of the year. The lumber situation should continue to get better from this and with good distribution facilities and steady shipments to the er side of the line, the trade as a whole should have little cause complaint regarding either volume or value. It will be found most firms have so far in 1923 done a much bigger business 1 during the corresponding period of last year. : Earthquake Will Create Demand for Lumber ‘hat the earthquake disaster in Japan will create a great demand ding materials, particularly lumber, is expected as soon as 7 7 > 4g eee - aa CANADA LUMBERMAN- 35 relief measures are sufficiently far advanced to take care of the im- mediate needs of the devastated areas. Large orders for lumber and shingles and other materials which British Columbia can supply are expected to be placed with the exporting companies in Vancouver. A committee of lumbermen, representing the lumber manufac- turing interests has already conferred with the Japanese vice-consul in Vancouver and assured him that the mills of the province are pre- pared to care for all lumber ordered in British Columbia for export to Japan at a lower average cost than before the disaster. One large lumber exporting firm which handled the output of many mills has sent its representative to Japan to ascertain to what extent British Columbia building materials will be required in the progress of recon- struction. The provincial Government’s gift of a cargo of lumber is expected to go forward in the near future. The rebuilding of the devastated districts in Japan is expected to stimulate the lumber industry in British Columbia to a considerable extent. Other lines of industry, it is anticipated, will also feel the impetus of an increased demand for supplies in the opinion of busi- ness men. ——_—_— Orient Orders May Mean Much for West Millmen and others connected with the British Columbia lumber industry are quite excited over the prospect of an enormous demand from the Orient for reconstruction purposes in the quake-shattered ~ cities of Japan. J. G. Robinson, of Vancouver, recently told the Royal Enquiry Committee that if the flood of orders in sight from the Orient materialized the lumber industry in the province will be stabi- lized for years to come. Financial circles of Vancouver are discussing the possibilities of these Oriental orders in a very animated way. The subject has taken precedence over all others. The prairies and even Ontario have been absorbing more B. C. lumber in the past month than during the past year, but the millmen assert this phase of the busi- ness has been rather haphazard for several years. With the prospects of the new field opening, there are sugges- tions that the price of material shipped east will be advanced almost at once in price. Some factor has unquestionably given firmness to the business tone on the coast recently. Banking circles attributed it to these tentative demands for building material on the other side of the Pacific. Will Timber be Affected in Quebec The Quebec limit holders were taken by surprise when the Que- ‘ bec Government recently passed an Order-in-Council putting in force the former 1920 stumpage dues in the timber-cutting activities in the province of Quebec, in place of the 1918 rates in tariff which had been applied for the years 1921 and 1922 to encourage more work in the lumber camps, especially to give employment to labor. The Quebec lumber operators were of the opinion that the 1918 tariff on stumpage dues should remain in force for another year, at least. The obvious reasons were the slump in the Canadian export trade to Great Britain due to European political conditions, and com- petition from the wood-exporting interests of Russia, Sweden and Finland, the continued high rates of ocean freight, and high cost of labor. Two months ago they waited on the Taschereau Govern- ‘ment with the request that the 1918 tariff be continued in force for the present, at least, and, fully confident that the Government would accede to their request, naturally feel disappointed. . In the meantime the Quebec limit holders, who have delayed the making of their estimates for this winter’s cut until they had learned of the decision of the Quebec Government in regard to their attitude on the tariffs, are reluctant for the present to, express their opinions as to what the Order-in-Council will have on their operations. The Limit Holders Association will shortly hold a meeting in Quebec to © discuss the situation and agree upon their attitude in connection with their lumber camp operations this winter. They admit that the Gov- ernment was within its rights to increase the tariffs on stumpage dues in conformity with the 1920 tariffs but maintain that the same reasons existed in the years 1921-22, still exist to warrant a continua- tion of the 1918 tariffs. It is generally admitted that the operators will be obliged to make a large cut of logs in the fire-swept regions in order to salvage the wood from destruction by worms and in the cutting fifty per cent. is likely to be saved for sale as second-class material. tariffs which may compensate for the cutting. On the other hand the limit holders say there is likely to be a big curtailment in the cut of new timber for foreign exportation. — The present state of the United Kingdom market, the competition from European continental countries and the price of labor will natur- ally influence their operations in the field of new timber production. In this connection the Government allows fifty per cent. reduction in the ‘ i CANADA LUMBERMAN Is this what you want?

HAMILTON Halifax Feels Decline in Export Business Since the latter part of August the lumber trade has been quiet, due largely to the decline in demand in foreign markets. Good new stocks of spruce sold readily in the British ma:ket at - good prices in the spring and early summer, and the steamsh p com- - panies enjoyed a larger measure of business than for a number of ' years, but late in August the demand slowed up and prices began to _ weaken. Since then the situation does not appear to have improved, ' though advices from the other side held out encouragement that the market would in all probability improve after the summer holidays. Zz There are various causes advanced to account for the set-back, _ the principal ones, other than the usual seasonal dullness, being the _ prolonged Dock strike in Manchester, and the political uncertainty ~ in Europe. No doubt the unemployment situation in England has also had a depressing effect on business, which is reported to have - reached an acute stage. Liner shipments have lately been reduced to almost nothing, but exporters in Nova Scotia were pretty well shipped up while the de- mand was good, and at present stocks are unusually light. Manu- facturers have practically none of this year’s cutting on hand, which ever new development may take place. _ . For the most part operators are now waiting to see what will _ happen during the next few weeks, as a guide to next winter’s work, and it is difficult to forecast with any degree of accuracy what quan- _ tity of lumber will be produced the coming year. 2 If the British market rallies before the season is too late the usual output will be assured, while many seem disposed to stay out of the woods under present market conditions. Operating costs will be considerably higher than last year, owing to the scarcity of men and _ the consequent rise in wages while the cost of feed and supplies of - all kinds is about 15 per cent. above last year’s level. i Shipments of lumber to the American market have dropped off, _ due to the low prices offered after mid-summer. Western fir ship- _ ped in large cargoes through the Panama Canal have been in serious competition with Eastern spruce, and owing to the attractive speci- fications offered appears to be very satisfactory for that market. Immense quantities of these stocks from the Pacific Coast have literally been dumped on the New York and Boston markets at low quotations, and the price of spruce suffered accordingly. The price of laths which declined in August owing to an accumulation of un- sold cargoes in the New York markets, has recovered considerably. _ The number of enquiries being sent out at present indicate an active _ demand. The general opinion seems to be that the lath market will be good for the remainder of the year. Why not Give Public Your Prices? If you want to start an interesting discussion among a group » _ of retail lumbermen, take up the subject of quoting lumber prices _ to those who may desire them, or the advisability of publishing your _ prices. This is a question on which you will find some difference of opinion and a discussion of the subject will bring out the arguments says “The Retail Lumberman.” The principal objection of the dealer who is opposed to the quot- ing or publication of prices is that the customer may take those prices and shop around. A secondary objection is that a competi- _ tor wil know how much he will have to cut his prices in order to — undersell one. Both of which are good arguments in a case where a dealer’s competitors are of the breed who do undersell and who bh generally have to undersell in order to get the business. , _ Frankly, we are inclined to favor the plan of quoting prices to - anyone who wants them and to the publication of prices from time to time. It seems to us there are times when it would be especially de- sirable to get your prices before your customers. To present our - arguments as to why prices should be quoted or given, as the case _ may be, we would simply ask you to put yourself in the customer’s place—get his viewpoint. ____ Now let’s suppose that you are going to a men’s clothing store _ to get a supply of winter wearing apparel. You are going to buy a _ suit of clothes, a hat, some socks, a shirt or two, some heavy under- _ clothing and a tie. The clerk shows you a number of suits. There one you like particularly. What is the first thought that comes _to your mind? The price. If that suit is more expensive than you iad planned to buy, you’ll probably decide on one which costs less. fou don’t care to go over $5 for a hat but you take a liking to a $9 ¢ without knowing the price. When you find out how much the hat will cost you, you immediately look for a less expensive one. the purchase of underclothing, socks, ties, etc., is virtually a repeti- tion of your experience in buying a suit or hat. Ow, suppose that the clerk who waited on you refused to give prices on the articles in which you are interested for fear ‘ i 1 Lon ee .

Suppose that he insisted on your picking out what you wanted and then gave you the total price on the whole pur- chase. How much would you purchase at a store where such mer- chandising policies were carried out?) We would certainly hate to admit that the lumber business should not be on a par with the merchandising methods of the average run of businesses but when we find a man who is afraid to quote his prices there is nothing else for us to think than that he is not sincere in his dealings with his neighbours. _ There are high-priced establishments and cut-rate establishments in virtually every town and city and we’ve noticed that the so-called high-priced stores keep right on doing business year after year. They evidently have the value in the goods, they must sell some- thing besides merchandise and they probably do. Establishments like thése who enjoy a good reputation, do not consider the cut-rate store as a competitor. How Silk is Made From Wood Pulp Entering into the manufacturing of all kinds of ribbons, ties, scarfs, hose, jerseys, velvets, satins, braids and trimmings for fancy textures, and woven with natural silk, cotton, and other fibres into numerous fabrics is a cellulose product, known as artificial silk, that has been made in Europe for the last twenty years, and in the United States since 1911. The industry has been remunerative, and has prospered even at a time when other industries were passing through periods of serious depression. Between 1914 and 1921 the world’s annual output of artificial silk increased from twenty-six million to forty-four million pounds, and the demand today is so much in excess of supply that the capacity of many mills is being increased. In the manufacture of artificial silk the viscose is now much used. The raw material is cellulose in the form of wood-pulp, bleached as for paper making; and the chemicals for treating the pulp are caustic soda and carbon bisulphide. The labor, however. is the principal item of cost, some of the large factories employing as many as 3,000 men and women. ‘ ee Though some Canadian wood-pulp finds its way to French and Ttalian factories, no artificial silk is at present made in the Dominion ; yet imports now reach-a value of over $2,000,000 a year, and these do not include the great quantity of imported fabrics partly made from artificial silk, for which 10 record is available. : » ? \ ‘ ’ CANADA LUMBERMAN Re Train of saw logs at the dump, on the operation of the International Land & Lumber Co.

Montreal 4 President of Canadian Lumbermen . Ee. (Continued from page 35) ‘when timber supplies were abundant have jong gone by. I am not an alarmist but | feel keenly on this problem. _ At the last annual meeting of the Cana- ‘dian Lumbermen’s Association in the dis- cussion, which took place on market condi- tions, I referred particularly to spruce and ade the remark that it was the tree that emed destined to hold its ground and con- ue to be the prevailing species for all time to come. ‘There are, of course, other equal- ly important woods. Our white pine is rapidly disappearing and it is necessary that our spruce should be preserved. I asked the question in Montreal of those, who were vitally interested in our forests and our future supply of timber, how long, at the present rate of consumption, was our spruce timber going to last and what can be done to conserve and increase reproduction? One other question was also put by me and that was, what other species, if any, have we that can be utilized as a substitute. Bringing About Stability in Industry _ These are momentous problems at the present time. We can not ignore the future and it should be remembered that the ques- tion of supply is not the only one. If the lumberman is to continue in business he must have a market for his product and there must be confidence in the industry and stability to the general economic situa- _ tion. How can these tbe brought about? _ There have been many ups and downs in values and volume of trade since the war. _European conditions are far from being adjusted and the various strikes in the Old Country, along with the wave of discontent, lower freight rates and easy access of the Baltic countries to the ports of the Old Land, have seriously interfered with the Canadian overseas trade. We must have cheaper means of transportation both by rail and water and labor must be moderate in its demands, for the cost of producing lumber has ascended more rapidly than the price obtained for the finished product. Logging is costing more and more all the while and this year men are not only diffi- cult to secure and inefficient in performance but they are commanding $15.00 to $20.00 a month higher wages to go to the bush. In the face of all these barriers, further exactions have been made upon lumber and 7 the lumberman by augmenting the sales tax “from 3 to 6 per cent, and by a 100 per cent increase demanded by the Board in connec- tion with the Workmen’s Compensation in New Brunswick. Then too, our financial institutions and banks have been restricting their loans and cutting down the borrowing facilities of large firms who must possess ample accommodation in order to carry on. a, Looks for Steady Business __ We are passing through a rather trying time with much uneasiness manifested in the ranks of labor and in banking institu- ns and developing a policy of diffidence distrust that does not tend toward yendering optimism and expansion. As eave the war farther and farther behind, I believe, if labor will only retain its head id building costs be kept down, that 1924 be a year of steady business and satis- ctory returns. We want no runaway rket values, no speculative sorties or tious flights. We have gone through exigencies of high finance and cancella- r heavy stocks on hand and no de- Rae 138 Hh: ¥ 2 * < ee a ee b * CANADA LUMBERMAN mand and all the intervening stages of recovery and readjustment. Business gen- erally during this year was good up until the middle of the summer months when, owing to the excessive demands on the part of labor, structural activities slowed down. When costs are mounted and pyramided, either in building or manufacturing, a buy- er’s strike is apt to result and a boomerang effect ensue. One factor starts blaming another. The censure is passed from head to head and everyone is seeking to pin the bouquet on someone else or to attribute the existing state of affairs to causes that are neither relative, sane nor sound. One thing to be remembered is that no matter whose fault it is, all share alike in the resultant disadvantages. We are all patient and tolerant up to a certain point but beyond neither producers, purchasers or public will go. Sanity and Courage Required There are great economic questions still to be solved in the lumber industry, and while business is now on the upturn and there is likely to be a larger than average cut taken out in the bush this winter, it must be remembered that our optimism must be tinged with sanity and courage. The price of livestock and wheat and other farm produce is still low and while the yield on the fertile farms in the Prairie Provinces has been satisfactory, much greater quanti- ties of cereals are required to bring in a dollar than in the days before the war. After all our prosperity is based upon the condi- tion of the farmer and, unless he is enjoying a fair return on his work, activity will not be felt in other avenues. It is too early, however, to say anything authentic regarding ‘fall business and the outlook for 1924 except I am of the opinion that the present seasonable lull is over, that confidence is abroad and that industrial users of lumber are approaching the end of their reserve stock and will be in the market sooner or later for considerable quanities. An auspicious omen is that prices have held firm during the past few months and a run- away market was forestalled by a break in conditions early in the summer. With the realignment of prices for the finished pro- ducts of lumber, the present level of quota- tions should bring about a revival in buy- ing. One leading authority has stated that a snag at the present time is the dispropor- tion between wages paid labor and the earn- ings of the farmer. This, too, must be read- justed and it will probably come about by a gradual lowering of the former. But why dwell further on the obvious. _ We must all have faith in the future in spite of disturbing factors which now and then arise. Canada has much to be thank- ful for and Canadians should not be an ungrateful people. Producers and distribu- tors must work in unity and harmony, never lose confidence in their calling or evidence any disbelief that things are not getting better. Some Auspicious Omens Outlined Our railroad earnings are increasing and leading industrial stocks are higher than a year ago. The balance of trade for June showed the first monthly excess: of exports since December 1922. Our imports of mer- chandise for the year ending June 1923 jn- creased 18 per cent compared with the cor- responding month a year ago, and immigra- tion shows the largest number of arrivals that has taken place since 1920. The num- ber and per cent of failures are the smallest 2 De oy ees : fae ae 8 ie? i eee since June of 1922 and bank clearings reveal a gratifying gain. There are many other reliable readings from the business barometer and its statis- tics which I could present but they would not add weight to my argument or strength to my convictions that everything will ad- just itself in the near future and we will be soon going full steam ahead. The first few months of 1923 were ones of normal production and distribution in the lumber arena and, while conditions have been somewhat disturbed during the past, there is no doubt that with all artificial and speculative elements out of the way, the lumber industry will continue to be the great undertaking that it has in the past. Mill stocks are, on the whole, low and are mostly in the hands of distributors. The cuts of practically all leading operators were sold at a good figure early in the year and operating conditions during the past sum- mer have been favorable. Of course, there are exceptions to all general rules but I am of the opinion that we can l6ok to the future with confidence, and if we preserve a cool head, steady hand and firm faith, we should triumph over all difficulties and come out all right in the end. Brought Along Two Chickens A colored man from Kentucky drove to a loose leaf tobacco sales warehouse in one of ‘the Indiana cities on the Ohio with a load of tobacco. When he received his sales slip and weights he noticed the customary bank check was missing. Approaching the cashier he said: “Look here, boss, where is my money for this here tobacco?” The sales sheet was consulted. “It’s like this, the expenses for weighing, unloading and commission for selling your tobacco amounted to more than the tobacco was worth. You see, you still owe us just 59 cents,” explained the cashier. “Well, that’s all right, I guess but I ain’t got a cent with me.” “Then next time you are coming over the river, just bring a chicken with you and we will call the deal square.’ Within a week the colored man appeared in the office with two chickens, one under each arm: “Here’s yo’ chickens.” “Sure—but you didn’t have to bring two of them, one would have paid the bill.” “Yes, boss, but I’se brought another load of tobacco.” In Danger of Losing Himself One of the negro immigrants who have been drifting up from the South in such numbers stopped a pedestrian in front of the post office. “Say, Boss,” he inquired, “what’s de way to Seneca Street?” He was given the direction. “Is dere a place down dere where I can git myself ‘mawked ?” “Marked ?” “Ya-as; git my ’nitials stamped on my awm, you know.

Less 5% Comm. 141 Milk Street, Canadian Hardwood Market in New England States Canadian Trade ‘Commissioner Frederic Hudd in a recent letter _ from New York on the market for Canadian hardwoods in the New England States says: As a result of difficulties experienced by some of the smaller producers in the province of Quebec in finding a per- manent market for their hardwood in the New England States, the _ writer has made an investigation of the actual situation, and it is found that while there is a very large market for Canadian hardwood in that district, many buyers are dissatisfied with the shipments they at present receive and make specific complaint of faulty cutting methods, or lack of care between times of cutting and shipment. * New England is the largest hardwood buying centre in the United States. Great quantities of hardwood—more particularly maple and birch—are used in this region in the manufacture of bob- bins and spindles. The demand is emphasized by the fact that as hardwood in Maine and other New England States has been drawn upon in large quantities for a very long period of years, there is a tendency to conserve the remaining supply and purchase elsewhere. - The wiser owners of hardwood are not selling their growth. In _ considering the future possibilities of so large a market the Canadian i shipper should also bear in mind that the transportation facilities are in his favor. For instance, the Canadian National line to Port- land from points in Quebec touches several of the largest hardwood . : mills in New England. : ' The larger users of hardwood are constantly endeavoring to secure permanent sources of supply. As already indicated, howev er, more than one buyer states that there is ground for serious com- al against some Canadian hardwood received, on account of Fault pea an St es and roel of care after cutting.

Cash o2 Boston, Mass. ers agree that the lumber is excellent in quality, but that the faults mentioned reduce the actual value of the lumber from the buyer’s point of view by about 30 per cent. One buyer instanced some accumulated stock he knew of in one Canadian mill which had deteriorated 50 per cent on this account. This state of affairs could doubtless be remedied if shippers would take greater care of their product or secure instructions from customers as to how they want the lumber cut and cared for. In this connection the writer was in conversation with probably the largest buyer of hardwood in the United States, owning several mills in New England, and he stated that he is already buying Canadian hardwood in large quantities, but that he finds many shipments © unsatisfactory for the reasons indicated. He also stated that if he could enter into an arrangement with five or six dependable con- cerns in Canada for the supply of hardwood, he would undertake to send a group of men up to their mills for a period, in order that advice could be given in the cutting of and caring for the lumber, and his exact requirements thereby be met. He is of opinion that something of this kind should be done if Canadian hardwood is to maintain its reputation and make the most of the expanding market it can find here. Such a proposition as that outlined could be entertained only by those able to fill large orders. In any event Canadian shippers must tbe prepared to “nurse” the market, and if what the buyers say is the case, some must endeavor to improve both the cut and after- care of their lumber, It is true that at present, on account of high prices and uncertain labor conditions—and in some cases accumulated stocks—buying is conservative, but from the point of view of maintaining or even secur- ing a still larger market for Canadian hardwood, there is every oppor- tunity for the energetic shipper.

The B. C. Fir & Cedar Co., of Vancouver, whose plant was _ recently destroyed by fire, are rebuilding. The new plant will be — up-to-date in every particular and pains will be taken to comply with the provisions of the smoke by-law. The sawmill formerly operated ‘by the Foundation Co. at Port Alberni, B. C., and subsequently by the Lefroy Lumber Co., has been operations under the new management.

The work will cost about $25,00U. Henry J. Borbridge of the firm S. & H. Borbridge, well-known ~ wholesalers and retailers of harness at Ottawa, died recently in that city. The late Mr. Borbridge and his interests are widely known to the lumber industry of Eastern Canada whom he supplied equipment > to for many years. Fire recently broke out in the yard of Walter Turner’s sawmill near Port Elgin, N. B. The mill was saved by the strenuous efforts — of volunteer flame fighters but about half a million feet of jumber / was burned. The loss will reach about $15,000. It is understood that the lumber was in part owned by C. H. Read, of Amherst, and was partly covered by insurance. The Summerland Lumber Co. Ltd., of West Summerland, B. Oe has assigned to Geo. E. Winter, of Riddell, Stead, Hodges & Winter, : chartered accountants of Vancouver. The assignment is said to have x been the result of pressuse by one of the creditors of the company. © Both the mill and box factory will be operated to BAS until the end of the year. Henry Ford, the automobile manufacturer, has paceneene the town of Pequaming, Baraga county, in the upper Michigan peninsula. The purchase includes a short railway, sawmill, timber lands and also ~ the interests of Charles Hebard and Sons in Baraga, Ontonagon, Houghton and Marquette counties, bringing the Ford lumber output to about 50,000,000 feet annually. At a public meeting of the ratepayers held recently in Fort William to discuss the by- -law with respect to fixing the assessment of the Great Lakes Pulp & Paper Co., several questions were asked and everyone present appeared to be in favor of the measure which will be voted upon in the near future. 4 Several medals won by the school children of the Fraser Mine r" Bi near Langley Prairie, B. C., in an essay competition conducted by i Provincial Forestry Department, were recently distributed by _ James A Mahood, district forest ranger. The contest which was open to the entire province, called for an essay on “Why Canada Should Protect Her Forests.” It is understood that the Manitoba Pulp & Paper Co. is increas- ing its preference shares capital from $2,500,000 to $2,800,000. B. WwW. Thompson, vice-president of the J. D. McArthur Co., who are ui interested in the paper enterprise, returned recently from Montreal and stated that arrangements for financing the enterprise were ~ complete. » Hon. James yore, ‘Minister of Lands and Forests, is advertising for’tenders for the right to cut the timber on twenty-nine square ‘miles in a berth in the vicinity of Clearwater Lake, and bids will be received up till October Ist. The sale of timber is also being made of fifteen square miles in the district of Kenora on Limit E, and tenders are also being asked for the green timber and for the burned and down timber in the locality north of Belmore and Elbow Lakes. Belgo-Canadian Paper Co., Limited, is setting new records under its re-organized management and production is now reported to be at the annual rate of 90,000 tons. Only March 1, last, the company was working on a 65,000 tons per year basis, so that an approximate _ 40 per cent increase in production is shown over seven months. As _ additional machinery begins operations about November 1, the out- - look is for still further expansion in the scale of Belgo-Canadian’s output. A. G. Boland, a widely known timber’ < cruiser, died recently in Ottawa at the age of 61 years. He was one of the most efficient in ‘his line in Eastern Canada and did considerable work for J. R. Booth. _ Death was due to paralysis and pneumonia. Mr. Boland was well acquainted in Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia. As an esti- _ mator of timber his judgment was thoroughly sound and his services _ were in constant demand when boundary disputes were brought to _ the court by various lumbermen. He resided at Sturgeon Falls, Ont., until 1913 and is survived by his wife three sons and three daughters. The Spruce Falls Co., of Kapuskasing, Ont., are building 52 houses this year for their employees in the sulphite pulp plant. All of these houses are of the four-roomed type with modern convenieu- ces, neat in design. Siding is used for a half storey and above that :. The average cost of these houses is about $3,000 each. P. _E. J. Jones, general-manager, states that the company are not mak- ing any improvements to their plant this season but are busy so tar mas pulpwood operations are concerned. The Spruce Falls Co. expect to get in between 50,000 and 60,000 cords during the coming season, _ possibly half of which will come from settlers. Recent heavy rains throughout Northwestern Ontario have relieved the minds of the Department of Lands and Forests of the possibility of another serious outbreak of forest fires in the north country this fall. While little or no rain fell in the bush from June _ until late in August, the rain‘all for the month of August was heavier than last year immediately prior to the big northern fire. Hon. _ James Lyons, Minister of Lands and Forests, anticipates that the Department will have little difficulty in the way of fires before the snow flies as long as caution is observed iby hunting parties and tourists. _ The lumber interests of the late George W. Upham, ex M.L.A. _ for Carleton, N. B., who built a mill at Juniper on the Transcontin- ental Division of the C.N.R. a year ago, has been sold by his widow to A. W. Kyle, of Hartland, N. B., the amount involved in the trans- Ber being $40,000. The late Mr. Upham operated upon limits leased firom the New Brunswick Railway Co, on the north branch of the Miramichi River and his mill was located at Juniper, where Hon. J. -K. Flemming, directs large lumber operations from the firm of Flem- ming-Gibson, Ltd, ‘There was considerable competition, it is under- _ stood, for the mill and interests of the late Mr. Upham, several others having bid for the property. On application of the Montreal Trust Co., trustees for the ‘bond and mortgage debenture holders, a receiver has been appointed by the Supreme Court of British Columbia for the Whalen Pulp & Paper Mills, Limited. It is understood that the immediate cause of the assignment was the great disaster in Japan where the company for some years has been selling 50 per cent of its sulphite pulp. Hon. _T. W. McGarry, of jYoronto, president of the company, stated that the Court had ordered the carrying on of the business as usual until such a scheme could be worked out. It has been a well-known fact for some time that substantial re-financing was necessary. With the Japanese catastrophe an assignment was the only course for the directors. President McGarry stated that they expected to be able to re-finance on such a basis that all concerned would be taken care of. The company is in good shape and for several months past all ree mills have been operating at capacity and considerable profits been shown. He stated that, in round figures, the total liabili- of the company, including bonds, debentures, notes and trade 4; t CANADA LUMBERMAN 65 RD gat eM Holt Buyers Repeat It’s the ability of the Northern “Caterpillar’* Logger to outstrip all other methods on a basis of actual per- formance that. makes this powerful tractor the choice of some lumbering concerns. Others choose it on com- parisons of cost; and still others because they count dependability the prime consideration. But no matter what the deciding point may be that leads to selection of the Northern “Caterpillar” Logger, the result is the same: constant, ample power and sure traction. For example, the Mt. Murray Woodlands Cor- poration took one Logger last year and put it through an arduous test on common snow roads with many bad grades. And they kept close check on costs. As a result they have bought four more Northern “Cat- erpillar” Loggers for next winter. What they learned about this tractor is a part of the fund of lumbering experience Holt has accumulated in providing the best — . ‘machine for pulpwood and other timber operations in Canada.

Brown, B.~C., Lumber Commissioner, ‘Victoria, B.C: arrived in Toronto recently and will spend the next few weeks in the East in the interests of forest products of the Pacific Coast province. He will visit the principal consuming centres. The lumber yard of D. C. Mabee, at Bolton, Ont., was recently visited by fire, causing a loss of $6,000, partly covered by insurance. A quantity of lumber and shingles in the yard were removed to safety, but some lumber, coal, lath, lime, etc., were consumed. Edward O’Keefe, engineer of the Great Lakes Co., Fort Wil- lam, Ont., arrived in that city from Appelton, Wis., to assume charge of the new mill. It is the intention of the Great Lakes Co. to push work as rapidly as possible. George H. Howie, who recently removed from Fredericton to St. John, where he is now engaged with the Nashwaak Pulp & Paper Co. as construction engineer, disposed of a business block on Queen St. West, Fredericton, in which he was interested.

The Provincial Government of British Columbia has arranged with the Timber Industries Council of that province to supply a cargo of lumber at cost to Japan, and is now negotiating with the Federal Government at Ottawa for means of transportation across the Pacific to the stricken cities of Tokio and Yokohama. An order for the voluntary winding up of the affairs of the Colonial Lumber Company and the Canada Timber Company, of Pembroke, Ont., was granted by Mr. Justice Rose, of the Supreme Court of Ontario at Ottawa, recently. It was explained that the company had some time ago disposed of its assets to the Edwards interests, and was going out of business. The judgment of Mr. Justice Mowat for $12,000 damages against the Canadian Northern Ontario Railway in favor of Ernest J. White, lumber manufacturer, Sucker Lake, Ont., has been sus- tained by the Appellate Division. The appeal was heard at Os- goode Hall, Toronto, recently.

The Moose (Mountain Mining Co., recently brought four men into the police court at Sudbury on charges of jumbing board bills and they were each sentenced to a month in jail. The men had worked only one hour. A strange plant, so far as is known never before seen in North-_ ern Ontario, and growing to a height of over six feet, was discovered by Mr. W. N. Conway, manager of ‘the Hope Lumber ‘Company’s~ camp at Mile 28, A'C.R.R., was brought to Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., and is now planted in a local garden. Several experts in horticul-— ture have seen the plant but are unable to give it a name. It is a tall plant with a beautiful yellow flower, and its leaves are of a similar | shape to those of the thistle, but it has no prickles. A business transaction of considerable importance’ ae taken | place in Weymouth, N. S., the large timber holdings of the Stene- lin estate having passed into the hands of the New France Lum- ber Company, a St. John syndicate headed by H. W. Schofield as president. This valuable timber property is considered to be the largest holding of virgin timber in the Lower Provinces, and con- sists of upward of 10,000 acres on which it is estimated there are from 80,000,000 to 100,000,000 feet of marketable lumber. It has been practically untouched by the axe, and there have been no fires in the limits. The Canadian Western Lumber Co. recently made an attractive | exhibit at the Provincial Exhibition, New Westminster, B. C. The — company installed a miniature bungalow complete in every detail and stained in pleasing colors as a demonstration of what can be accomplished in the matter of both exterior and interior decoration when it comes to building a-home. There was also exhibited a “Whirligig,” a unique contrivance operated by an electric motor on which the various grades of panelling, veneer and doors rotated at slow speed, thus giving patrons an opportunity of seeing at first hand the numerous prdéducts in lumber turned out by the Caadiayg Western Lumber Co. a The Edwards umivee & Pulp, Limited, Pembroke, Ont, is thal name of the new firm recently formed taking over the Colonial Lum- ber Co., Limited, of Pembroke. The sale includes the mill and all the timber and other holdings, but the amalgamation will involve — no change in the local management and that Messrs. J. W. Smith and W. R.

With the country’s finest beef at its disposal, only the best is selected and this is prepared in modern plants by men who have long experience in meeting camp re- quirements. A fast refrigerator car service hurries it direct to the camp from our nearest branch and it finds its place on the cookhouse table among Swift’s other quality products. This is how operators have learned to take the guess-work out of camp- provisioning—they order from Swift’s and make sure of getting the best. We shall be glad to quote on YOUR requirements.

A number of pulp and paper concerns _ operate sawmills and several lumber organ- izations have embarked in the production of paper or have established rossing or pulp _ plants. The co-related interests of all forest product enterprises are being brought out more and more in the expansion of “the in- j _ dustry and in the development of the wood- ed resources of the Dominion. All limit ie manufacturers of lumber, pulp or paper, and even the consuming public, are concerned in the preservation and perpetua- tion of the timber resources of the country. There is much discussion regarding the _ pulpwood market and supply at the present time, its outlet, trend of prices and probable demand. At the last session of the Federal Parliament an Order-in-Council was adopted _ to prohibit the export of wood from private ands unless the product was first converted into pulp or paper. Before any sweeping action was taken it was decided that a Royal Commission should be appointed to investi- gate fully the whole situation and report on pane forest resources of Canada. _ Royal Commission Gets to Work The Commission, which was duly ap- Gated: will hold sittings in various parts of Canada and recently “began its work in alifax. It is stated that several months will be required before all the evidence is athered and that representative centres will be visited and every effort made to _ ascertain the feeling of lumbermen, pulp- wood men, pulp and paper producers, limit _ owners, ete., regarding the whole situation. chairman is Joseph Picard, manufac- es of Quebec, and the other members are A. B. Kerr, of Toronto, R. W. McLellan, of __ Fredericton, Joseph @ Sutherland, Clyde River, N. S., and William Anstie, of Van- ‘couver. E. H, Finlayson, Acting Director Forestry for Canada, is the secretary of Commission. At Halifax a large number of witnesses 1 forward and the e opposed to anything in the nature of “embargo on the export of freehold pulp- od to the United States. Among those yho were on the stand were :— S. W. Anderson M.L.A., Sherbrooke, ysborough county; Thomas C. Bateman, polis; Ralph Bell, Halifax; Davidson geal aes Dickie; A. R. pe hat bs Donald Wiel cod: Beene ee Ralph Bell, Halifax. majority of them - Toronto, October 15, 1923 They gave the following as reasons why pulp mills were not erected in Nova Scotia: —Total stand in Nova Scotia was too small; water powers were inadequate; timber was scattered and not enough in definite locality to make operations profitable; it was more profitable to maintain plants close to market than to the woods. Mr. Bell suggested for conservation pur- poses a Dominion forestry commission com- posed of practical men within the industry and similar controlling bodies in each prov- ince with wide powers and scope, the in- dustry paying for the conservation and pro- tection, and having a direct voice in the ad- ministration. Should Take Care of Fires W. J. Lanigan, representing the United States firm of Hollingsworth & Whitney, operating in Nova Scotia and owning 4,000 acres of Crown and _ freehold land, was among those not favorable to the proposed embargo. Waterpower scarcity prevented establishment of mills in Canada, Mr. Lani- gan said, and added that if other conditions were favorable an embargo would not be needed to bring about home manufacture. If Canadians could keep fire out of the woods there would be enough pulpwood, he thought, for an indefinite time. Hugh J. Chisholm, president of the Nash- waak Pulp & Paper Co., St. John, -N. B., and of the Oxford Paper Co., Murray, C. B., said that if there was an all-year-round port available on his property and waterpowers in Cape Breton, the question of the estab- lishment of a pulp mill would be feasible. Mr. Chisholm added that the interests he represented stood for a $20,000,000 invest- ment. He declared that in the United States less than 3 per cent. and in Canada about 5 per cent. of the lumber cut was used by paper manufacturers. From the point of view of conservation, he said, if an embargo ‘would result in bringing United States mills here, which it would not, they would use just as much wood here as there. “You must begin conservation by taking care of fire loss,’ Mr. Chisholm said. He was almost tempted to say this loss was ten times greater in Canada than in the United States—it was certainly five times as great. “Tf you can reduce fire loss here to even what it is in the United States there would be enough wood to carry both countries indefinitely,” he said. If both countries could join together and treat their forests hand-in-hand more would be done than in any other way. Of the first twenty witnesses heard at Halifax it appears that only two said any- + f , i oP xf ; »& erly | Se i eee oa, tee he No. 20 Pulpwood Resources of Eastern Canada are Now Under Investigation by Recently _ ~~ Appointed Royal Commission thing in favor of an embargo on pulpwood. C. a Blanchard, a lumberman of Truro, N.S., declared that he favored an embargo to shut out Americans who were exploiting Canadian natural resources. He then stated that he did not favor a complete embargo, and on further questioning said that what he meant was not an embargo, but an export duty. Mr. Dickie Gives His Views Rufus E. Dickie, of Stewiacke, N.S., pre- sident .of the Nova Scotia Lumbermen’s Association and a director of the Canadian Lumbermen’s Association, was against the proposed embargo on pulpwood. He asser- ted that the lumber industry would develop faster without it. Restriction of export of wood from freehold lands would mean deterioration of the price of the land, and under it three or four pulp mills in the pro- vince could get together, divide the terri- tory and set their own price for the pulls wood. Arthur Dickie, of Halifax, stated that the lumbermen of Nova Scotia had, for the past few years experienced hard times. ‘They had been heavily taxed. There was a pro- vincial tax of two cents per acre, a muni- cipal tax, a poor tax, a school tax and a fire tax. He was in favor of abolishing the gov- ernment tax. The money collected by this latter tax, he pointed out, went into the gen- eral fund and was not used for forest pro- tection. He was against the embargo be- cause, he explained, the big fellow was pro- tected, while the little fellow suffered.” It would not, he declared, “do the greatest good to the greatest number.” The enforc- ing of the provincial tax upon lumbermen of Nova Scotia, Mr. Dickie contended, had a tendency to tempt the owner to cut as fast as he could clear his land. Hon. Robert Irwin, Speaker of the local house, pointed out that the land was subject, whether cleared or not and Mr. Dickie replied to the effect that after it had been cleared, the land could be abandoned. “We do not want the incentive to cut quickly.” Conclusion of the Hearing Other witnesses at the sittings of the Royal Commission were H. I. “Mathers, sR yeesenting the English firm of Becker & Co.; F. A. Harrison, Deputy Commissioner of Crown Lands, and F. J. Crooks, lumber operator. Mr. Mathers said he had not a definite opinion as to the advisability of an embargo, but favored a restriction of some kind on the export of pulpwood. Mr. Harrison read a letter from Hon. E. H. Armstrong, Pre- mier of Nova Scotia and Minister of Works 42 and Mines, pointing out that leases in Cape Breton were specially granted and_ con- firmed by the Government of Nova Scotia, and that, under such circumstances, the imposing of an embargo would question not only the honor and good name of the Gov- ernment, but also its competency to make binding contracts. He wished to go on record as against an embargo. This concluded the hearing of the com- mission in Halifax. Sittings will next take place in St. John and Fredericton. American Buying is Not Keen It has been stated that, owing to the threatened embargo, the United States mills were not using their own pulpwood but seeking to obtain as large supplies from Canada as possible before any restriction went into effect. There would appear to be a certain amount of truth in this, as during the six months, ending September, Canada will have exported across the border approximately as much pulpwood as she did during the fiscal year 1916. In that year the exports were 879,734 cords for the five months ending August this year they were 700,716 cords, and at the rate of export maintained during the last three months, they should come very near to the total for the whole fiscal year 1916. In August alone these shipments were 163,411 cords. Insofar as value is concerned the ship- ments made during these six months will have quadrupled in value those for the year 1916, for whereas the latter were worth $5,- 743,000, those for the six months of this year will, at the present rate of exportation ex- ceed $24,500,000. All this, of course, went to the United States. As an indication of the extent to which the United States is dependent on Canada for pulp, newsprint and pulpwood, it may be said that whereas during the fiscal year 1916 she took $31,000,000 worth, at the pre- sent rate her purchases of these during the current fiscal year should total $150,000,000. It has been stated that owing to the con- templated embargo on pulpwood cut on private lands, Américans have been buying much more largely and shipping out wood much more freely than they otherwise would. This report, however, is not borne out by eastern advices, and one representa- tive firm in a recent interview with the “Canada Lumberman” said,—‘We do not believe that an embargo on freehold wood has induced buyers to put in a larger stock. The general opinion among men seems to be that this embargo will not be put on for, at least, some years to come. Our opinion is that the mill owners in the United States are not over-anxious about this barrier. Possibly the reason is that they feel sure their Government will take care of their interests and that if the embargo was put on, Washington would retaliate in some way. Another view expressed is that it is a serious move for any country to place em- bargo on raw material, and it is pointed out by those who understand economics, that the country will only do so when forced to raise larger revenues than it can collect through further taxes so far as its own peo- ple are concerned. There are a great many sides to the ques- tion of the proposed embargo on pulpwood and one eastern firm recently expressed their belief that the paper industry was ruin- ous to the forest and that at the present rate at which mills were multiplying or add- CANADA LUMBERMAN ing to their facilities, the Dominion would have too many plants altogether turning out newsprint. This conclusion was arrived at by the fact that mills are buying timbher- lands at very high figures which were operated on before on sawn lumber. There is no doubt that, in the district around Que- bec, the production of lumber has decreased considerably due to the fact that these limits and sawmills have been bought up by paper mills, and the fear is expressed that in the near future other investors will suffer on account of the high price and scarcity of sawn lumber. Speaking to the “Canada Lumberman” a leading operator lately said—‘I do not believe in reforestation at least for slow- growing timber, such as spruce and balsam, though reforestation might be practicable for quick-growing species of trees. To my mind there is only one solution and that would be to curtail the unnecessary use and waste of newsprint paper. ‘This could be done by educating the people and the pub- lishers to save paper by printing smaller issues. An enormous amount of space is taken up by the dailies in printing sensa- tional events which could be greatly con- densed and serve the purpose just as well. Will Be No Weakening of Prices Le White. cot, Grand: hallssewN ama believes that, on account of the large quan- tity of wood peeled by the farmers and settlers in that district, there will be no weakening of prices in the latter part of the coming winter. There has been more than the usual quantity of pulpwood peeled in the vicinity of Grand Falls during the past peeling season and this wood is all on hand ready to be shipped during the coming win- ter. There has been only a small quantity sent out during the past summer. ‘There was no active demand for wood from the main mills to which the bulk of the wood from the Grand Falls section goes. Mr. White says that he cannot see that the proposed embargo has caused the American mills to buy any more than their requirements for the immediate future. He concludes,—‘‘During the past peeling sea- son our chief competitors in the labor mar- ket are the states of Maine and Connecticut. The former paid more for men fo work at cutting pulpwood than the prices which we received for the product in this vicinity would warrant.” Very Little Increase in Interest Speaking of the pulpwood situation in general, another leading eastern firm state that pulpwood shows little, if any, increase either in demand or price since the threat- ened embargo on freehold wood and adds that it is difficult to place pulpwood to- day at attractive figures. The Canadian mills are absolutely out of the market and there is very little buying, it is declared, by American mills on account of the low water conditions in the United States and the low prices at which imported sulphite can be furnished. This makes it more favorable for a large number of mills to purchase their sulphite rather than manufacture it. When the embargo news first came out, some American mills placed a few additional orders, but on the whole the threatened pro- hibition of export has had very little impres- sion on the market. So far as production in Quebec is con- cerned, the cut this year will be somewhat larger than last year although it is not - « vas ae oo, ee ae believed there has been any abnormal pro- _ duction of pulpwood owing to the low pre- — vailing prices. The labor situation is not — good and high prices are being asked and — paid for competent labor. This may have — its reflection on the price of pulpwood as. the tendency seems to be to ask a higher quotation for future delivery than for spot — wood. Pulpwood Prices are Little Stronger McGovern Bros., of LaSarre, Que., regard to the pulpwood situation say they find that prices have increased over last sea son by about $1.50 or $2.00 per cord on sz peeled and rossed wood. As is usual at tk time of the year, there remains very wood on the sidings and what little t is held by dealers to complete their | tracts. Most of the wood in the sec around LaSarre, which is in Pontiac Co has been shipped to Canadian mills. proposed embargo has had very little e for most people realize that it will, if en-— forced, mean lower. prices for a time at least. The cut throughout the Pontiac dis- — trict will be heavier than last year although © wages are higher and men much scarcer. J. B. Moncion, of Cochrane, Ont., says — that sap-peeled wood is about 10 per cent — higher than last year while rough wood will — also be about that much more in quotations — this fall. The proposed embargo evidently — has not made any change in the situation © in and around Cochrane as no American buyers have covered that ground recently in search of larger quantities than usual. — Mr. Moncion is of the opinion that the — cut this coming winter in the Cochrane dis- — trict, on account of construction work on — railway extensions, waterpower develop- ~ ments, etc., will not be as large as last sea- son. Wages will be higher than a year ago © and help is scarce. j te Demand will be About the Same The Hammermill Paper Co., of Erie, Pa., whose logging headquarters in Ontario are — at 412 Whalen Building, Port Arthur, Ont., — M. Cochran being the manager, state that — there are many rumors regarding the in- — crease in prices for pulpwood. “It appears — to me,” adds Mr. Cochran, “that the demand — will be about the same as last season and although some of the mills will not require — as much wood as last season owing to the fact that they have considerable stocks on hand, at the same time the new mills in the district will bring the total requirements up — to approximately what it was. ot. a “None of the large jobbers made any money last season owing to the unfavorable — driving weather and there is a considerable amount of wood hung up the various rivers.” Under the circumstances Mr. Cochran anticipates that the price to the jobber will probably be higher but the price paid to settlers will, he thinks, be about the sam _ The proposed embargo has not resw! in American buyers coming and securing shipping larger quantities than is custo The American mills were very fortunate - obtaining delivery of a large percentage their purchases, and while they will not 1 big buyers in the district around Arthur during the coming season, it is 1 anticipated that there will be any increase their demands. a A The labor situation at the present time appears to be fair.

J. D. Gilmour, director of the com- pany, states that last wintér they operated two, ten ton Holt Cater- _ pillar tractors an average of 110 days each, breaking roads and haul- ing logs. In that time they hauled 10,984 cords of green pulpwood _ logs an average of 5.38 miles. The tractors averaged 24.68 cords per trip and the largest load hauled by one machine was 57 cords of green pulpwood on eight sets of sleds. The roads were not “particularly good, being mostly snow roads without much ice. They were never rutted. Mr. Gilmour adds,— “We had up grades of about 3 per cent (estimated) and a down- "grade near the dump which we estimate at 10 per cent in places, which were never sanded. We lost practically no time during the ~ whole season of operation and experienced no difficulty through the - failures of the machines in any part.

We use sleds having 6 ft. 10 in. gauge, centre to centre of runners. Bunks are 12 ft. long, A Zita 12 in. at centres. Benches ‘are 12 in. x 16 in. We have put on loads which we estimate at over 40,000 Ibs. on one set of sleds and have not broken a sled. “We have found that the best system is the cross reach arrange- ment for coupling between bobs, and between sleds, and the use of V pole on the tractor. It is desirable, in our opinion, to use a smaller machine to couple and make up trains. The ten-ton is effective at that job but is unnecessarily large and, therefore, expensive. Accord- ingly we propose using a five-ton to make up trains next winter for the two large machines. We expect to use it for road-making as well. Our bunks are ll ft. apart, centre to centre, and we find that by the use of stakes we need no binding-chains. Our whole train uses no chains at all, except a short fixed length between the noses of opposite runners, to prevent spreading. We find that method is satisfactory in every respect, being effective, cheap and time-saving. “We are convinced that tractors are a great economy in this country, and that on hauls from three miles upwards, they will reduce hauling costs approximately 50 per cent. In other regions they might not show any economy on a three mile haul; it depends on local cost of horses, horse feed, etc. If such-costs are high, as they are in Newfoundland, the tractor will show a saving on a shorter haul than one would use a tractor on in regions where, for instance, farm horses can be hired at a reasonable rate. “We are so sure of tractors after four or five seasons’ experience with them that we are considerably increasing during the coming season our tractor operations and are correspondingly reducing the number of horses employed,” concludes Mr. Gilmour. Work on New Hydro Electric Plant The hydro-electric plant which Price Bros. & Co., of Quebec City are building at Chicoutimi is now nearing completion. The devel- opment is situated on the Chicoutimi river about two hundred yards above its confluence with the Saguenay and about a quarter of a mile down stream from the tail race of the Chicoutimi Pulp Company’s plant which limited the height to which water could be raised in the forebay. The elevation of the tail race was fixed by the tides in the Saguenay which have a maximum variation of twenty feet at this oint. The variable head which resulted was one of the interesting eatures of the design. The plant is being built to take advantage of the storage dams which the Quebec Streams Commission is building at Lake Keno- gami, from which the Chicoutimi river takes its source and which, it _ to absence of joints of all kinds and may be run equally well | -season, President Mead stated they had not been of any serious con- ‘lands. is expected, will increase the minimum flow of the labeek to 12 cubic feet per second. The power will be transmitted to Kenogami — —ten miles away—where it will be utilized in Price Bros. pulp and paper mills. ~ ae Steel Belts for Transmitting Power 7 A comparatively new method in transmitting power has recently come to the attention of the wood manufacturing industry in the — use of all steel power belts. ‘They are manufactured by the Power Engineering Co. whose Canadian agents are Jones & Glassco, Reed engineers, Montreal and Toronto. The new endless belt is made of a sttperior grade of special steel containing no joints, or welds and is an absolutely continuous steel band. The pulleys upon which the steel belts run are faced wit cork which offers great adhesion to the steel belt. Steel belts are said to have no internal friction and may be run at very high or ve low speeds. They are free from jar and vibration to machinery d drives, very short ones and on vertical drives. Due to higher s being ‘desirable in steel belts larger diameter pulleys may be used, — which in turn relieves the pull on the bearing. ‘This also permits — smaller framed motors to be used, causing a saving in motor cost. Another advantage, which it is stated that steel belts possess, is greater economy of space since these belts are from 25% to 40% as wide as equivalent 2-ply leather belts. It is claimed that the pul- leys are narrower and lighter, reducing friction, inertia and expense. Practically not stretch or shrinkage occurs with temperature and © moisture changes, and the steel belt requires no adjustment dite ‘toy itself. 4 Spanish River Company Conserving Timber — 4 At the annual meeting of the Spanish River Pulp & Paper Mills — which was held recently in Toronto, all the officers were re-elected — for the ensuing year with George H. Mead, of Dayton, Ohio, as — president ; Thos. Gibson, Toronto, and P. B. Wilson, of Sault Ste. Marie, vice-presidents ; ii G. Gibson, Toronto, secretary, and A. H. Chitty, treasurer.

Say Timber Royalties are Too High Officials of the lands department in Victoria, B.C., have started to investigate the advisability of making substantial cuts in timber royalties in B.C., following vigorous representations from the lum-— ber industry of the province. The present royalties were fixed largely on the advice of the lumbermen of the province, but they have not — worked out as the lumbermen had expected. Now they are much too high, the lumbermen have told Hon. I. D. Pattullo, minister of — If the lands department agrees with the lumbermen’s con- 4 tention, legislation lowering the present scale will be introduced at the forth- -coming session oe the house, Mr. Pattullo said. “Phis would be the most important legislation introduced bye the Ja jt department, the minister added. | Pte ; Too Much Waste of Finished Products -~ tion ae be peta for quick-growing species of trees. my mnid there is only one solution and that would be to curtail 3 unnecessary use and waste of newsprint paper.

The te question was thoroughly gone into and John Bain, of Ottawa, who is an expert on tariff and excise, was called into conference Be Every detail of the proposed measure was reviewed and it was decided that it was not applicable or workable in the case of the Riemer industry where the product changes form so many times. _ Frequently a portion of a stock sold goes inta a finished article or re- manufactured material and the remainder is employed in its original shape. While the members are fully aware that the sales tax in itself - cannot be changed except by act of Parliament, they are of the opin- on that the regtilations relating to the measure can be amended by Bcd in: Council so that the whole tax may be simplified and ren- dered operative. Bee. At present there are many inequalities and difficulties under - the system of licensed and unlicensed wholesale and retail dealers and manufacturers. It was conceded in the views expressed on the various regulations, that the latter were cumbersome and compli- q cated, would prove an unjust burden to the industry and in many vays would lead to numerous misunderstandings. A committee consisting of KE. R. Bremner, ‘of Ottawa, chairman; Dan. McLachlin, Arnprior : Arthur H. Campbell, Montreal ; Walter ec. Laidlaw and A. E. Clark, Toronto, and others, was appointed to fg meet at an early date in Ottawa and confer with Mr. Bain in order - to place the objections of the lumbermen in concrete form and sug- gest certain amendments to the present regulations. It was the uni- versal verdict that the present conditions relating to the Act are not feasible. Many of the terms are seemingly contradictory and lack clarity and conciseness, so far as they apply to the lumber industry. _ After the discussion of the sales tax, matters relating to the six- teenth annual convention of the C.L.A. which will be held in Buffalo, on January 30th and 31st, were taken up. The boards of trade and _ lumber bodies of Buffalo and Tonawanda will look after the enter- tainment of the delegates to the gathering but the banquet will be in the hands of the Eeecutive of the C.L.A., as has been the custom for some years. It is expected that there will be one Canadian and one ae speaker at this social function. An effort is being made D ioe Buffalo bodies to secure Hon. Chauncey M. Depew, the Beas, Sixers! other items & minor Adi inee were attended to and ‘those present at the gathering were:—Angus McLean, president; Pose, _L. Sargant, secretary; D. McLachlin, Arnprior ; E.R.

White, Montreal; and W. Gerard Power, Quebec. D. H. McLennan, pre- nt of the Montreal Lumber Association, and other representative m bermen were also in attendance during the sales tax conference. Sales Tax Regulations Most Confusing 2s z. _ Various trade associations are now actively engaged in studying Si es. “tax regulations issued by the Government. These are very mplex and there is a difference of opinion as to their meaning. For stance, some business men are of the opinion as to whether the x should be included in the cost of goods or charged separately. any lumbermen, who have examined the regulations, frankly state hey do not understand the regulations and they are skeptical as ether the Act can be enforced or whether an attempt will be a oes it. 19%5;--as Trade on October 3rd, by Mr. 4 20% “Peres OF ‘ : eT 2 eee | cero eee Bar te es CANADA LUMBERMAN 45 ‘Association Executives Review Sales Tax Directors of Canadian Lumbermen and Montreal ee eaisanuns Consider New Regulations Complicated and Unworkable—Many Objections Raised.

This matter was brought before the Council of the Board of D,. H. McLennan, president of the Montreal Lumber Association, and it was decided to refer the ques-_ tion to a special committee of which Mr. McLennan is a member. Ata meeting of the directors of the Montreal Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association, on Oct. 4, the sales tax was discussed. The — opinion was that the regulations as they stand will lead to many complications and are in fact unworkable. The directors reaffirmed the resolution passed on June 6, as follows: “That in the opinion of this meeting of the Montreal Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association, the operation of the lumber business under the system of licensed and un- licensed wholesale and retail dealers and manufacturers is so full of inequalities and difficulties as to be inoperative, and that we suggest that this feature be eliminated from the Act, and that instead it be made to read that the sa‘es tax decided upon shall be collected from the saw-mill manufac- turers by the Government, and be shown by the manufac- turers as a separate charge on all invoices for lumber sold for use in Canada.” Spanish River Company Will Rebuild The Spanish River Lumber Co., whose mill at Cutler was burned down recently, have started sawing at their other plant at Aird Island. W. J. Bell, vice-president and general-manager of the com- pany, says that as the capacity of the Spanish mill, as it is known, is larger than the one at Cutler, they will catch up for the time lost before the close of navigation and saw all the logs that they have — on hand. The plant at Cutler was a complete loss with no salvage. — The only lumber burned was that in and around the mill at the time of the fire or about 20,000 feet in all. Mr. Bell states that the company will not start to rebuild their mill at Cutler this fall because it is too near cold weather. The work will, however, be undertaken in the spring when it can be carried out more economically and as the firm have the other mill at Spanish, there will be no inconvenience. The Spanish River Co. have started a number of camps and will | take out about the same amount of logs as they did last season. Place Thirteen Hundred Men in Bush The Shevlin-Clarke Co., of Fort Frances, Ont., who recently — acquired nine square miles of timber limits between Clearwater and Trout Lakes, in the Rainy River district, state that the holdings © acquired are practically all burned timber which w as visited by fire — last summer and it is necessary to cut this timber this year. They company will put in camps and start logging at once. These camps, including the regular logging, will mean about eleven camps for Shevlin- Giarke this winter. The firm will employ about 1300 men and 500 head of horses in the bush. : The Sheylin-Clarke Co. are just getting started in winter activi- ties and the wages they are paying being $35.00 a month and board. By Noy ember Ist, the company expect to have logging operations going full blast. ain etnies 46 CANADA LUMBERMAN Seen Mr. Booth on His Annual Holiday Mr. ile Rk. Booth, most active aged lumberman, of Ottawa, Canada’s most widely known and has gone to Madawaska where he will enjoy his annual holiday. ‘Mr. Booth is in his usual good health and during his stay in the north country will meet many old friends. He is acquainted with hundreds of employes in all kinds of work there and every year he looks forward to his holiday in the midst of old John R: Booth, Ottawa friends. He will make his headquarters in his private car and his staff includes a highly trained chef, and two trained nurses. Although he is 96 years of age, Mr. Booth is in constant touch with the affairs of J. R. Booth, Ltd. His health during the summer was not very good, but he is now fully recovered and is looking forward to enjoy- ing his vacation thoroughly. : Talks on Richness of North Country His Honor, Harry Cockshutt, Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario, delivered a stirring address recently before the members of the Tor- onto Board of Trade, on his recent trip to Moose Factory on James Bay under the heading “Impressions of the Far North,” dealing with the forest and timber resources and the pulp industry. His Honor expressed unbound confidence in the future of that portion of the country which he had just visited and its unrivalled richness and potentialities. He offered the suggestion that as a means to inspire Torontonians with a true sense of Northern Ontario’s importance, it would be an excellent thing for the Board of Trade to send a delegation to travel over much the same territory as was covered by Prime Minister Ferguson and himself upon their recent journey. He added that as sure as the C.P.R. went to the Pacific, so would the T.& N.O. Railway be extended to Hudson. A resolution was unanimously carried by the Board calling upon the Council of that body to name a standing committee “to give further study and attention to the development of Northern Ontario and of its trading relationship with Southern Ontario and to take a action in their promotion as may be deemed desirable by the ouncil.” Says Retailers Must Improve Methods “Several hundred thousand retail merchants in the United States would be better off as bricklayers and plasterers, rather than to continue in their business,” Roger Babson, the famous business forecaster and student told the Associated Ady ertising Clubs ‘of the World at their recent convention at Atlantic City. Ile went on to say that there are 1,500,000 retail merchants in the country, of which number 100,000 are prosperous, 400,000 are doing fairly well, and the remaining million are struggling along, ‘And,” said Mr. Babson, “the solution lies, NOT in eliminating these million inefficient dealers but in educating them to greater _ efficiency and to the giving of the greatest possible service.” Rats mn ! many years, twice every month and many times be- Three cheers for Mr. For many, tween times, I’ve been saying that same thing exactly to the retail lumbermen. And Mr. Babson’s statement applies just as directly to the lumber dealer—perhaps on the average just a little more so— as to the dealer in any other line, ; PT ee. lh rr ome The retailer—regardless of what he sells—who operates his busi- — “ness in the self-same way that he did ten years ago—or even FIVE 4 years ago—is a business mosshback. He may be getting by, or he — may be making money—the facts are the same. - Times are changing, conditions are changing, the needs and de- mands of the consumer are changing, the necessity for business ser- — vice in increasing with every single year that passes; and the man who stands still 1s cheating his trade of one of their rights. — The entire face of the ‘retailing world has been altered in 5 yearsngs Yet we have thousands of retail lumber dealers who are running their — business just exactly like they did in stagecoach days, and it looks — as though nothing short of a charge of dynamite or some le music” can jar them from their path. F The alluring and seductive attractiveness of selling building ser- vice instead of shingles and two-by-fours falls unheeded on “their. ears. ‘‘Service’ to them means goodly stocks of merchandise, fair — prices, square treatment. THAT’S what it meant twenty years ago; just exactly that. me The dealer who operates that way may be a ‘air and honest man; but he is depriving the people of his town of one of their goodliest — privileges—is one of the those concerning whom Babson spoke when he said they should be bricklayers and plaster ers.—Jack Dionne Laurentide Company Acquires More Limits A large timber limit and lumber transaction affecting a local — company was executed in Quebec lately, when the holdings of Messrs. W. and H. Kennedy, known as the Lake St. Joseph hmits, including saw mills, pr Operty, etc., were sold to the Laurentide Com- — pany, Limited. The limits consist of about 350 square miles, comprising almost — all the land surrounding Lake St. Joseph, which has not already been sold for summer residences. Fifty miles of the limits are Teco simple land, the balance under Government lease. Closer Utilization of Waste Wood The National Lumber Manufacturers Association, Washington, calls attention to the prize of $2,000 it offers annually for the best ideas that are developed during the year in the field of waste pre- — vention and closer utilization as related either to logging or saw- mill operations. ‘This annual prize is a practical proot of the eager- — ness of the organized lumber industry of the country to encourage $ the dey elopment of ideas that promise reduction of waste in mantu- — facture. The prize will be divided as follows: $ A first prize of $1,000 A. second prize of $500 Three prizes of $100, and Four prizes of $50. “Lumber manufacturers,” says the Association’s announcement, “have found that the most important ideas come from those closest — to the work. For this reason this offer applies only to those actually employed in the lumber industry. It is understood that technical men who derive their income from the industry are included in this group, The competition is open to anyone who can fulfill either of these requirements. . “A lot of ideas have been developed by employees in the saw- mills and logging camps. Many of these ideas have neyer gone beyond the man who originated them. Many more ideas could be — developed if the men in the mills concentrated their thought upon some specific sawmill problem. For this reason the Waste Preven- — tion Committee of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association decided to suggest problems for solution. These problems will be- presented in a series of announcements such as this which will — appear from time to time between now and the end of the year. “With this present announcement the Committee desires to call attention to the possibilities of reducing waste in the sawmill. The — major sawmill units, namely, the Head saw, the Edger, the Gang saw, and the Trimmer, are involved in this problem. Attention is — invited to the possibilities for closer utilization which these ae 5 sawmill operations suggest. i “The Committee wishes to emphasize the importance of con-— structive thinking among the men who work in the mills, and it wishes also to emphasize the fact that-this competition is free from — all formality and from all restrictions. “Tf the opportunity to earn one of these prizes has an appeal establish contact with the Engineering Department of the National — Lumber Manufacturers Association, International Building, Wash- | ington, D.C., and let your ideas be known. = “Send in your suggestions in rough form.

'- ad “Financing the Small Home” is the title of the latest chapter issued by the National Lumber Manufacturers Association in its series on “Lumber and Its Utilization,” in connection with the national movement for more homes and better homes. — “he man who owns and loves his home,” says the preface, “can usually be depended upon to practice the virtues of citizenship. In spite of the fact that more than one-half the urban population of the Jnited States are tenants, the automobile is moving the down-town eciation tyear by year to the suburbs. The demand of the man who can afford to spend $25,000 or more for a home is being met. There is need to give the man who has good taste and small means a chance to own his home. Individual opportunity to acquire a home must not be denied to any person who is willing to work and save to that end.” _-‘With the simplicity, definiteness and conciseness that character- izes all the chapters in this series the problem of financing the small home is dealt with in a most conclusive manner. Comparing the family as tenant or home owner it is pointed out that eighteen years’ rent of a $5,000 cottage at $50 a month, plus interest on the rental sum calculated at 6 per cent. for an average of nine years, would total $16,632. On the other hand, with a cash" payment of $500 and amor- ‘ization payments extending over eighteen years, the total cost of purchasing the cottage would be $13,024, including eighteen years’ interest on an average of $4,860, interest on interest payments and ‘on the original cash payment. The three general methods of home financing, namely, (1) mem- bership in a Building and Loan Association, (2) borrowing on first and second mortgages, and (3) paying on contract for deed, are described and discussed at length. ‘This discussion is so clear that the prospective home builder, after reading it, has definite conclusions ‘as to how to proceed to finance his home. As to the cost of the home, the rule is laid down that it should not be more than one-and-one-half to two-and—one-half times the owner’s annual income; and the total sum should be paid in ten to fifteen years. Detailed instructions are given as to how each person aay calculate for himself how much he | can afford to Spend in pur- chasing a home. : . The Methods of Raising Money _ On the subject of present costs of dwelling houses it is pointed out that the increased cost in recent years is very largely the higher cost of better construction and more elaborate equipment. People ed to build houses that included only the necessaries of shelter; v they insist on luxuries and adornments. For example, 95 per cent. of bath-rooms must now have tile floors and expensive fixtures. ‘Every house owner insists on having an instantaneous water heater, adding about $200 to the total cost of the building. There are many other items which add greatly to the cost of an ‘acceptable house in se times. Nevertheless a lumber-built house costs considerably less now than it did in 1920. At Delavan, Wisconsin, for example, a house that was actually erected in 1920 for $5,758 may now be copied for $5,040. At Wau- esha, Wisconsin, the $8,000 house of 1920 may now be replaced for 500. At Boston, Massachusetts, the $10,500 house of three years go costs now $9, 500. At Toledo, Ohio, it was found that a house lat cost $6,314 in 1920 can now be reproduced for $5,258. A little aced for $2,116, and so on. The prospective builder is advised to check his building costs refully in advance and to figure the distribution of his outlay : among e chief divisions thereof. The lot should cost approximately 20% : ‘not more than 31%; materials 29% ; contractor’s overhead and it 12% ; financing cost 2% ; plan service, real estate fees, etc., 6%. he discussion of Building and Loan Associations will be a sur- -to many persons. These associations have now financed more . 1,000,000 homes. There are 10,009 of them in the country, with bership of 6,864,144, and with assets in excess of $3,300,000,- edy, of their records for the past 92 years — the be- i 0} bie. pesents of dome ownership.

It is pointed out that the material dealer ought not to be expected to finance home- building, as is often the expectation. He should be able to devote his energies to seeing that the builder gets sound construction for his money, that the “quality of small houses is improved through better planning and designing and that with every house built to sell there goes an abstract Gi construction showing the kind of materials of which it is built. Notation is made of the sources from which the information used in preparing the pamphlet, has been drawn, which will be very helpful to those who desire to pursue the study of home-financing. Copies of “Financing the Small Home,” may be obtained gratis on application to the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, Washington, D.C. Many thousand copies are being distributed by retail lumbermen’ s associations. The booklet contains no advertis- ing matter of any sort, and is purely educational and informative, being a further contribution to the general home-owning movement. Breezy Jottings From Busy East Alfred Bennett, of Tracadie, N. B., established what is considered a new lath sawing record recently at the Flemming mills at Jupiter when he sawed 7] 000 laths. The previous highest record was 66,000. There were three other men on the Shit. besides Mr. Ben- nett. They started at 9 a.m. and worked until 6 p.m.—an eight hour day. Hon. C. W. Robinson, Minister of Lands and Mines for New Brunswick, announced recently that the majority of those at present holding leases on Crown Lands, which had been damaged by fire or the budworm, had commenced operations to salvage the damaged timber. In two cases, he explained, operators were not in a position to cut, one of which is the Miramichi Lumber Company. With reference to the season’s cut, he said, it is impossible as yet to make any estimate, but the belief is that as large a proportion as possible of the damaged timber will be removed. He also reported that receipts from stumpage are coming in steadily to the Provincial treasury. The Royal Commission, who are investigating the pulpwood resources of the Dominion, held sessions in Halifax, N. S., during the week of October 1. Opposition to the suggested embargo on export of Canadian pulpwood developed immediately the Royal Commission opened its sessions. Complaints have been received by the New Brunswick Legis- lature that large holders of timber limits in that province are not in a position to carry on operations on areas burned over by forest fires during the past season on account of not being ready to operate on the limits as provided by Order-in-Council passed some time ago. Saw mill licenses for three timber berth applications were re- cently offered for sale by the Department of Lands and Mines and sold at the upset price of $20 per square mile in each case to the ap- plicant. They are as follows :— Col. T. G. Loggie, of Fredericton, Deputy Minister of Lands and Forests for New Brunswick, has been granted a two months’ — leave of absence. Col. Loggie will take an extended trip to the Can- adian West and will probably visit California before returning.

Under this mene it required the time and effort of three men for fully eight howrs to complete this unloading of one car. In other words, three men could unload one car a day. Now, they employ a Link-Belt crawler crane which, although it does not reduce the number of men on the payroll, it does reduce ——— ——— Crawler crane handling heavy dimension stock the time element from eight hours to three and one-half hours—a reduction of over fifty per cent. With the gasoline crawler crane, therefore, these same three men can unload considerably more than two cars per day. Mr. Behan, the General Manager of the National Lumber Com- pany, expects to still further reduce the unloading time, he believ- ing that it will not be long before the men will be able to complete the unloading of a car in two hours. And at such a time, he thinks it will be possible to release a few men thus employed to other and more profitable labor around the yard, thus not only effecting a time saving but an actual labor economy as well. The big advantage of this crane, aside from its ability to handle heavy material easily and speedily, is that it is not restricted to railroad tracks—that it lays its own track and goes anywhere, at the will of the operator. The illustration shows the crane at work handling heavy dimension stock. Newsy Jottings From Far and Near Bondholders of Clarke Bros., Limited, Bear River, N. S., met in Toronto recently to consider an offer of purchase of the company’s property arranged by a Chicago syndicate of pulp and paper inter- ests, but owing to a confusion in the proxies many were voided and a full quorum was not available. It was, therefore, decided to post- pone official consideration of the matter until later. Col. E .C. Phin- ney, of Halifax, spoke of the legal difficulties encountered in the course of determining priority of certain mortgages. The bond- holders’ committee urged the acceptance of the offer of the Chicago group in order that the legal obstacles could be effectively sur- mounted. Ernest Eversz, representing the Chicago interests, was prepared to submit his proposal. He presented a short sketch of the personnel of the group of interests backing the offering. A recent despatch from New Westminster says SS. Margaret Coughlan is expected in the river to load the first shipment of ‘export lumber from the new Brunette mills, which is now in commission. The company has an excellent w aterfrontage and it is well within the possibilities that a wharf will be constructed for direct loading of its Overseas shipments. The Coughlan will take a comparatively small parcel ect the Brunette and half a million feet from the Tim- ber and Lumber Co. at South Westminster. At the Fraser Mills the Canadian Western Lumber Co. is stowing a million feet on the Dritish steamer “Heathfield” for Japan. The next steamer that is expected up the river to Fraser Mills is the “Steel Age,” also loading for Japan. The H. destroyed = 3rett Shingle Mill, Vancouver, B. C., was recently fire. The total damage is estimated at about $21,000. CANADA LUMBERMAN Oe eee _loss by fire. a ~ 1,000, 090 shingles were consumed. The daily output oe the was 200,000 shingles, and some 30 men were employed.

Vol. 48 Toronto, October 15, 1923 No. 20 ti _ Looking Backward in Lumber Industry = Just forty-three years on this date, October 15th, 1880, the first ‘issue of the “Canada Lumberman” appeared. It was printed in Toronto at 33 Adelaide St. West, A. Begg being the proprietor and editor. It was then said that though much attention had been given to the lumbering interests by the press of Canada, yet it was felt that a special organ which would concentrate the views of those who understood the business and present them to the public in a way in which they could be fairly discussed with a full comprehen- sion of the value of the vast interests involved, would not merely ve those who are engaged in the trade and their employees, but iso the country at large. The publisher added,—‘Let it be remem- bered that the lumbering industry is the second greatest in Canada, being next to agriculture.” _ The “Canada Lumberman” continued to be published in Tor- onto twice a month until March 15th 1881, five months later, the Paper was purchased by Toker & Co., of Peterboro, Ont. In a formal e of transfer, Mr. Begg stated that the facilities afforded by the tensive and old-established house of Toker & Co., would be a guar- tee that the “Canada Lumberman” would command a prominent ye among the leading journals of the day. ‘The field was ample the transfer was made with a view to improving the paper. ‘The ing editor stated that he felt sure that it only required the com- ined support of those in whose interests it was published, to ensure it that success which was anticipated when the paper was first estab- ‘The new proprietors, in-a lengthy introductory notice, stated at it would be their aim not only to advocate any measure that ight be an advantage to the lumbermen but also to afford a means ith this aim in view communications from those interested in the great industry would be gladly received. __ From that date—1880-81—the development and influence of the da Lumberman” has kept pace with the growth and expansion S$ great pioneer industry. Even in those days—over forty years ago—there was talk of titutes for lumber and complaints made regarding the high price roduct which was probably then, so far as the finished article ncerned, about one-eighth or one-tenth of what it sells for So far as substitutes for lumber were concerned, the editor ate stated he had received a samfle of lumber from straw fea. 2? eee ‘@ am > es ae a es LUMBERMAN 49 manufactured after a patented process. The shipment came from Lawrence, Kansas, and it was stated by the producer that lumber like the sample sent could be turned out in any desired length, from 12 feet upwards and up to 32 inches in width, at a cost competing with the better or finishing grades of pine. The inventor of this substitute stated that the manufacture was, of course, confined to a grade which will compete with the better class of lumber and that there would be no object in filling the new products with knots, and shakes would scarcely be obtainable even if desired, while sap and decayed wood would be impossibilities. The sample sent would hold a nail as well as wood, was equally susceptible to a high painting finish and could be polished to as high a degree as desirable. The reference wound up by stating—‘“On the whole we are favorably im- pressed with the appearance of the new artificial lumber.” Another interesting statement is that the cut in 1881 along the towns of the Midland Railway amounted to 145,000,000 feet. Of th’s the British Canadian Lumbering & Timber Co., Midland, turned out 21,500,000 feet; Chew Bros., Midland, 5,000,000 feet; Powers, Vic- toria Harbor, 12,000,000 feet; McDermott, Victoria Harbor, 1,000,- 000 feet; Christie, Sturgeon Bay, 3,000,000 feet; Tanner, Sturgeon Bay, 1,000,000 feeet; Georgian Bay Lumber Co., Waubaushene, 26,000,000 feet; R. C. Smith, Fenelon Falls, 10,000,000 feet; Green- Ellis, Fenelon Falls, 3,500,000 feet; M. Boyd, Bobcaygeon, 10,000,- 000 feet; Hilliard, Peterboro, 4,000,000 feet; Hazlitt, Peterboro, 5,900,000 feet; Sherin, Peterboro, 3,000,000 feet; Irwin & Boyd Peterboro, 11,500,000 feet; J. Z. Rogers, Peterboro, 1,500,000 feet; Ross & Co., Lakefield, 6,000,000 feet ; Bigelow & Trounce, Port Perry, 6,000,900 feet. There were a number of smaller mills at Fesserton, Coldwater, Alma, Satterthwaite, Uthoff, Orillia, Breckin and Lind- say which turned out about 14,000,000 feet. To illustrate the changes that’ have taken place in the lumber line, it may be stated that the mills mentioned in the foregoing list have since joined the silent majority and not one firm is carrying on business under the same name as in 1881. The only mill that is still in the hands of descendants of the family and operating, is that of Letherby & Chew, successors to Chew Bros., Midland, Ont. The Georgian Bay Lumber Co., under the direction of W. J. Sheppard, operated at Penetanguishene, Ont., until a couple of years ago. Thus, it will be seen, how fleeting is time and how great are the ups and downs in the lumber arena. a New Policy That is Co-operative Hon. James Lyons, the new Minister of Lands and Forests for Ontario, is showing a comprehensive grasp of the duties of his posi- tion and co-operating with all departments in an effort to preserve the forest wealth of the province. This has been evidenced in a number of conferences and appo’ntments that have been made, one of the latter being the selection of Major Hartt, of Orillia, as super- visor of Crown timber and land agents. As a practical lumberman his duties will be to see that waste is avoided in cutting and that business methods in scaling, measuring and checking characterize the outside staff of the Department. Mr. Lyons has also shown that he is an ardent advocate concerning the wooded assets of Ontario and for a long period has believed that an export duty or embargu should be placed on hardwood logs in order that the country might not be drained of its rich resources and the raw material travel else- where to be converted into a finished product. In this attitude he is being supported by the Sault Ste. Marie Board of Trade and other public bodies. } Over a quarter of a century ago there was a similar agitation carried on in connection with the wholesale exportation of white pine logs to the mills in Michigan. The pine timber of Ontario was being cut and towed across the Great Lakes and nobody reaped any bene- fit from this devastation except the treasury of the province in some paltry dues and license fees and the axemen who were engaged in felling the tall timbers. On December 17th, 1897, an Order-in- Council was passed placing an embargo upon pine sawlogs and since then the sawmilling industry has flourished at many important points in Northern and Northwestern Ontario. If there had been no restriction of export, the population would be scattered and the land bereft of its natural protection, without any compensating advyant- ages in the way of a contented people, progressive towns and steady business for the railways and navigation companies. Three years later an embargo was placed upon the export of pulpwood from the Crown lands and now the Federal Government is considering the advisability of stopping the wood cut from private lands being ship- ped out across the border. A Royal Commission has been appointed to make an exhaustive inquiry into the whole situation and is now holding sittings in the East. Mr. Lyons also believes that something practical can be done in the way of conservation by bringing about a closer unity and more friendly interest between the settlers of the north and the Ce + ey 50 CANADA LUMBERMAN pulp and paper companies. For some years it has been known that many pioneer residents in the hinterland of Ontario have been dis- satisfied with the price received for their pulpwood, claiming that they could not dispose of it locally at any profit, and in order to get a fair figure they had to contract with firms who sent the product out of the country. When a settler locates in the north about the only revenue he has for the first two or three years is from the sale of his wood and, if he can get nothing more out of it than his labor, his-progress is certainly not rapid. The settlers have long claimed that the big pulp and paper companies have not been treating them as generously as they should and the Minister of Lands and Forests is asking the co-operation of Ontario consumers of pulpwood and sug- gesting that they purchase the cuttings of the settlers at the same cost at which they have been able to cut from their own limits. It is believed that this practical step taken by the Department of Lands and Forests will result in great benefit to the province and the settlers generally. It shows that something feasible may be done by closely associated interests in conserving the wealth of the north and bringing about more cordial understandings and relationsh ps between the settlers and the operating organizations. Mr. Lyons makes some valuable suggestions in asking the companies to regard their limits more as reserve supplies and afford the settlers a market for their product. He states that the move, made by him, has not been with any view to personal aggrandisement or dictatorship, but solely in the interests of conservation, co-operation and weal of the great north country. As a result of the action of the Minister, a number of mists will likely be cleared away and material advantages soon be in evidence among the settlers. The proposition of Mr. Lyons is sane, timely and thoughtful and is practicable in principle application and achievement. —-= Are We Really so Far Ahead ? This is an age of progress and expansion. We hear this trite remark made on all sides but the query crops up “How far have we gone along the pathway to development when certain basic factors are considered?” We marvel at the aeroplane, the gramophone, the telephone, wireless telegraphy, radio and other manifestations of scientific achievement and specialization, and we also look at what has been done in the way of sawmill construction, productive capa- city, time and labor-saving methods and increased output. In a late edition of the “Canada Lumberman” there was shown an illustration of the red men whipsawing lumber in the Mackenzie River territory. With an Indian on either end of the cutting instru- ment this was a rather slow operation. ‘The process was painful and tedious. The next step in the development was that called attention to by a correspondent who stated that his father, about three-quarters of a century ago, had built a mill dam over a stream and, with the help of a millwright, had constructed a very primitive plant for cut- ting up logs. There was an up and down saw making about fifteen strokes per minute, and practically all the equipment used was of wood, wood cogwheels all through, and just a little wrought iron. With this mill the owner averaged a cut of 1000 feet daily, doing all the work himself. To-day the largest mill in Canada is located on the Pacific Coast and has a cutting capacity of 300,000 feet, daily. A correspondent of the “Canada Lumberman” writes that in chatting with the genial manager, he asked him the number of men required to man the mill and he answered three hundred, and added that it was usually neces- sary in modern plants to have one man for every one thousand feet of lumber cut. This causes our correspondent to moralize upon the great ques- tion of how far is the human element in the industry ahead when con- trasted with the methods of seventy-five years ago and those that prevail to-day. In 1850 a mill was built by hand and one man cut one thousand feet per day. Now possibly in a structure costing $2,000,000, 300,000 feet is sawn by three hundred men. In the old days the profit all went to the sole owner and operator. To-day there is a president to pay, a general-manager, superintendent, a foreman, mechanical experts and a host of others who draw liberal rewards. Leaving out the question of mechanical progress and de- velopment and considering only the personal equation, the writer asks why have all these great inventions, new ideas, wonderful opportunities, etc., built up large capitals and made a few men rich while the position of the working man has not materially improved? Someone else, he adds, will have to answer. ‘The inquirer is not of a socialistic or a Bolshevistic turn of mind, and holds a good position to-day in one of the large woodworking establishments on the Coast. For those directly or indirectly connected with the lumber indus- try there is food for thought in this whole problem of production and expenditure. We have plants that are huge hives of industry tia CD Ue ea ees oe ee ae es" Eat Se Oy rene F jo oe q 7) oe and yet are not turning out any more lumber per man employed tt was the case in the primitive days, the average holding around 10 feet daily per man. Here is a question which, from an econom scientific, capitalistic, labor and other standpoints, much may be said pro and con. It causes those who devote more than passing atten- tion to human affairs to pause and wonder whether after all we are far ahead of the good old days when wants were fewer and oppor- tunities for expenditure more restricted. Were the workers of half a century ago not as happy, contented and prosperous as tl who live in this automobiling, golf-loving, bridge-playing, ra development age? Keeping up Traditions of the Past _ “Ts it not funny,” remarked a man the other day, “that - who have stayed for years in a certain business and me modicum of success, declare that theirs is the worst line on ¢ and they would not have a son or any other member of the 1 follow the same pursuit.” oe We all say things against ourselves, our habits, character position and demeanor which we would not tolerate others to without a sharp reprimand, a timely protest or a nasty 1 the same, too, in connection with a profession or trade.

He tells hi: scion that he would gladly get out of the business if he cou: has been so long in it that he could not find another avenue ~ would yield him a living and he has, therefore, to stick until th end. ; - ou The boy, however, should have a chance. In some other 1 the future is brighter, promotion swifter and the opportunit greater. But sometimes the boy does not want to embark in a v ture that is strange or new and he follows in the footsteps of worthy sire and makes a success of it, even greater, than that achier by paterfamilias. He has push and pep and is receptive to n ideas and ready to give new things a trial; this in spite of advice to the contrary. ; . ay There are many men today in Canada in the lumber line whose fathers and grandfathers have been in the business for generatio Numerous examples might be furnished. Some three or four ye ago the “Canada Lumberman” published an extended reference W. H. Johnston, of Pefferlaw, Ont., remarking that this family been in the sawmill business for one hundred years. W. H. Joh ston is the grandson of the founder, Capt. William Johnston, and a son, George K. Johnston, who is associated with his dad and > follow in his footsteps when the latter retires. There is, however, no immediate possibility of this as Mr. Johnston is in splendid health and has many years of usefulness ahead. a8 a There are other historic firms in Canada who have been go for fifty, sixty and seventy years. Among them may be menti the Eddy Co., the Gilmour Co., J. B. Smith & Sons, Maclarens, E wards, Booth, Chew Bros., and a host of others. These thoughts have been induced by the statement that “Onc a lumberman, always a lumberman,” and there is a deal of truth | this assertion. Scores of businesses have been handed down fr father to son and on to grandson and to-day these enterprises h an honorable and even enviable reputation. They have stood fo: something worth while in the way of value, quality, and integrity a1 their names are respected wherever lumber is made or marketed. The performance of a trustworthy service for a long period years gives prestige and standing to a firm that is in every 1 worth while and as has been stated, the heritage of a good reputati is both an inspiration and a stimulus to further honorable perforn ance. Each succeeding generation ought to do better than its decessor because it has both example and precedent to guide. — The lumberman of the present period has many problem solve but there are equally as good opportunities to win succe in the past. Progress is evidenced all along the line and there is 1 reason to doubt that the next generation will witness achievemen and development that the men of the present period know little o The lumberman to-day, instead of knocking the business that he in, should take a pride and satisfaction in its accomplishments potentialities and-should give those, who are to follow him, the fit of his experience and hand down to succeeding generations, 1 only the influence and association of a good name and stoc trade, but high ideals, a clean record and noble traditions. Randolph & Baker’s sawmill at Randolph has been closed do for the season. There is also word that Murray & Gregory’s at Marble Cove, St. John, will close down in the near future ‘ #1 . CANADA LUMBERMAN 51 Reunion of Hardwood Flooring Men After Lively Game of Baseball Sporting Activities of Progressive Organization A fine spirit of healthy rivalry in sport exists between the various offices of the Seaman, Kent Co. On June 30th when a number of the members of the Toronto staff visited Meaford a game of base- ball was played which was won by the home team. The Toronto boys, however, were not satisfied that the Northerners were the better team and invited the Meaford exponents of the diamond to spend a few days in Toronto which they did over the Labor Day holiday and played areturn game. ‘This was also won by the mill team from Meaford, clearly establishing that the same efficiency that is dis- played in the production of Seaman, Kent hardwood flooring is char- acteristic in the sporting activities of these men. The accompanying picture shows the two teams with some of their friends, Frank Kent, the president of the company, occupying the central place. Customer of Lumber Firm Over Fifty Years The Oliver Lumber Co., Limited, are removing their offices from King and Yonge Sts., Toronto, to their yard at the foot of Spadina Ave., where a new office building has been erected. J. Ormsby Oliver, who has been spending the past few months in California with his wife and son, has returned to Toronto. His son, Jack Oliver, has joined the organization and will make the third generation con- nected with the business which was established 52 years ago by the late Joseph Oliver, former Mayor of Toronto. The first customer who bought lumber from the late Mr. Oliver was John Waugh, of Niagara Falls, Ont., who has done business with the company for the long period of over half a century. Mr. Waugh not only prides himself on being the oldest customer of the firm but also that on the opening of navigation each season between St. Catharines arid Toronto, he invariably comes over on the first boat and makes the trip across the lake on the last sailing. . Ban on Slash Burning is Raised Following the heavy falls of rain which took place recently in New Brunswick, the Department of Lands and Mines have raised the ban on fall brush and slash burning as long as this work is car- ried out under permit and the supervision of the Department. This additional burning will be extended until such time as general con- ditions of fire hazard require it to be discontinued. After October 15th permits are not required. Lumber operators and timber licen- sees are being encouraged to dispose of as great a quantity of slash and operation refuse as possible during these periods of fall burning, in view of the fact that no spring burning will be permitted in 1924. Already considerable areas of timber limits have been cleared of the fire hazard accruing from a collection of slash. Eastern Firm Reports Help Scarce The A. A. Sutherland Lumber Co., of Oxford, N.S., whose head office has been in that town for the past four years, have been cut- ting in Pictou County, during the past season. One mill is operating at West River on the C.N.R. from Truro to New Glasgow and the ME << eae: i Stes, 2A eee oe ee a EE nen other at Scotsburn on the short line from Oxford Junction to Pictou. The A. A. Sutherland Lumber Co. have two steam portable mills, and the product which is about 2,000,000 feet per year of sawn lumber, has to be drawn from five to twelve miles to be loaded on the railway. The hauling is done with teams and motor trucks. The logging of the company is entirely by horses. On account of the snow last winter, the cut of the firm for this year will not exceed that of 1922. At the present time and, in fact, during the summer it has been found that men were very scarce and wages considerably higher than last year. The A. A. Sutherland Lumber Co. consider that the outlook for the coming winter in respect to labor is serious, there being very few men in sight at the present time. On account of their long haul and also the long freight haul, they are at a disadvantage in supplying the New England, Montreal and Toronto markets. About three quarters of the cut of the firm this year has been shipped overseas. The company say that with the increased wages for labor, the advance in the cost of supplies and the present heavy freight rates, they can see not profit in it for the lumber operator in that section of Nova Scotia at the prices which are being offered for stock today. Will Erect Creosoting Plant in East The Canada Creosoting Co. and the Creosote Products Limited, both of which are Ontario organizations, will erect a new creosoting plant at Newcastle, N. B., which will employ 200 men the year round, according to. the announcement recently made by Mayor Creaghan of that town. The ‘Canada Creosoting Co. already has contracts for the creo- soting of all railway ties used in the Atlantic region by the Canadian National Railways and the works for this purpose will be located at the upper end of Newcastle where more than 200 acres have been acquired. The work of erecting the buildings will begin at once. Creosote Products Limited have obtained the Hickson mill site at the deep water terminal for their plant and it is the intention of that company to use a large quantity of hardwood in the Newcastle district in the manufacture of their products. Inspector Will Move To Toronto Major.J. I. Hartt, of Orillia, Ont., who was recently appointed inspector of Crown Timber Agents and supervisor of operations in connection with the timber administration of the Department of Lands and Forests for Ontario, will have his headquarters in Tor- onto and open an office in the Legislative Buildings where he will be in close touch with the Department. The idea behind the appointment is the conservation of timber resources. Mr. Hartt will supervise and inspect the agencies, he will inspect the lumber mills and will have charge of the estimates and the sale of leases. He states that he hopes to eliminate a great deal of waste and te promote natural reforestation by stopping the cutting of young trees. Another feature of the work of the Department will be the furthering of the Government’s policy of manufacturing the products of the forest in the province. : * ny eee gee 52 CANADA LUMBERMAN oe Sk Sie e eerie we nS 2, ae a Mr. Laking Passes Another Milestone bering and woodworking business, assigned recently to the C The many friends of Mr. Wil- liam Laking, of Hamilton, ex- tended hearty congratulations on October 11th on the occasion of his 78th birthday. fifty-seven years in the . lumber business and is still going strong. Mr. Laking is enjoying good health and makes frequent trips to ‘Toronto in connection with the William Laking Lum- ber Co. and the Riverdale Lum- ber Co. He has been president of these concerns for some thirty- one years, the former specializ- ing. in wholesale hardwoods and the latter doing a general retail business. Mr. Laking generally spends a portion of each winter in the South and has made a number of visits to Florida. It is likely that he will again sojourn in the southern clime during the coming Winter. The printing and publishing industries have come under the scrutiny also for they learn that every year the paper mills of this — country turn out an amount of newsprint equivalent to a strip as_ wide as the ordinary daily newspaper and extending 46,000,000 miles, — or half the distance to the sun. If such a quantity of wood had been — turned over to carpenters instead of being converted into pulp, it could have been made into a row of houses crossing the continent. Even lead pencils have been considered. They are made at the rate of more than a billion a year and require such an amount of — wood that Eastern red cedar and juniper have already become scarce and pencil makers are eagerly hunting for other suitable woods. — Builders do not even try to get these woods. St , aye Not Much Change in Ottawa Market — Practically no change was noted in the Ottawa lumber maz during the closing’ period of September, when orders and inquiries were rather slow. There was no betterment in the demand from the United States yards, which dealers earlier in the year had looked — forward to and said was due to arrive about the end of September. The Canadian trade also did not show much, if any, change so as the Ottawa Valley firms and companies were concerned, = = The impression of several dealers was that the American yards have either become pretty well stocked up with western American grades, or else they are holding off placing new orders hoping that the price will come down. Though business was not by any mea brisk prices remained absolutely firm and there was no indication of a weakening market. Cae The situation in regard to woods labor did not show any change the men for the camps continuing to grow scarcer daily. Xd operators believed that with the termination of the western hary that a large number of workers who went to gather the harvest w return east and will be available for the woods camps. - Transportation conditions both by rail and water continue go there was little or no change in regard to conditions surrounding the operation of the woodworking plants and factories. alan Pulpwood Shipments Heavy From Quebec ~The shipment of pulpwood from the district of Quebec is still ceeding steadily and it is said that the shipments from the pro- ice to the American mills this year will be double in quantity the pments of 1922. This does not mean, however, that the Ameri mills are unduly active in anticipation of the proposed embargo on the shipment of Canadian pulpwood to the United States. Rather is the explanation found in the fact that there is an abundance of way rolling stock and the prices are the same as they were last spring, consequently they are taking advantage of these conditions to obtain a plentiful supply of the wood. In conversation with Americans who have from time to time peed the city of Quebec in the interests of their paper mill interests, they are practically unanimous in their opinion that the Canadian ¢ overnment will eventually put the embargo into effect. Should a nis come to pass they admit that the American mill interests will be prepared to meet the changed situation. They will not remove their Paper mills to Canada but will build and operate pulp mills in this country for the manufacture of pulp to supply their American paper ‘mills for the manufacture of the finished production of paper. x e., Canada’s Export of Pulpwood Grows During the six months ending September, Canada will have ex- ported to the United States approximately as much pulpwood as she did during the whole of the fiscal year 1916. In that year the exports were 879,934 cords; for the five months ending August this year they were 700, 716 cords, and, at the rate of export maintained during the last ‘three months, they should come very near to the total for the whole fiscal year 1916. In August alone these shipments were 163,411 cords. In so far as value is concerned the shipments made during these six months will-have quadrupled the value of those for the year 1916, ‘for, whereas the latter were worth $5,743,000, those for the six months of this year will, at the present rate of exportation exceed $24,500,000. All this, of course went to the United States. As an indication of the extent to which the United States is de- pendent on Canada for pulp, newsprint and pulpwood, it may be said at, whereas during the fiscal year 1916 she took $31,000,000 worth, “at the present rate her purchases of these during the current fiscal ye ear should total $150,000,000. we 4 rn Colony of Danes Will Cut Pulpwood “Opportunities will be limited in Toronto this winter,” said _C. Hunter, general superintendent of the Ontario offices of the mployment Service of Canada, regarding unemployment probabili- ti ties.

In some districts a timber shortage is already well in sight and it will be necessary for the mills operating there to purchase all the available pulpwood that is produced in the province. “There is, therefore, no surplus supply for export, and mills in Quebec are going to be short exactly the quantity of wood that is sold to mills in the U. S., unless our forest reserves are depleted in defiance of conservation. This means that they will be unable to operate at capacity and will give less employ- ment to labor. The people of the province may do what they like about it but they cannot change the state of affairs I have outlined,” concludes Sir William. Buying up Site for New Pulp Mill The St. Regis Paper Co. whose head office is in Montreal, have acquired from the Canadian National Railways a large parcel of land which includes the spacious harbor, heretofore, the property of the Cap Rouge Wharf & Pier Co., who sold out to the railway interests some twelve years ago. This property is close to the Quebec bridge eight miles distant from the city of Quebec, and is a beau ideal spot to locate and operate a pulp mill which will not only have easy water National Railways operating in the vicinity. ‘The Brown Corporation have leased a large parcel of land from the Canadian National Railways on the St. Lawrence River frontage at Quebec for development in connection with their extensive pulp and paper mill as well as lumber interests and their mills at La Tuque, etc. It is as yet not definitely known what the Brown Cor- poration intend to do with this property as the Quebec office is reluc- tant to give out information for obvious reasons until their intentions, now only in an initial stage, are further advanced. The Laurentide Paper Co., Limited, have acquired by purchase the limit holdings and sawmills at St. Joseph and St. Raymond in the county of Quebec on the line of the Quebec and Lake St. John Railway. These limits comprise 350 square miles, 50 miles of which are free land, while the remaining 300 miles are under Government lease. It is not the intention of the Laurentide interests to put the mills on their property out of commission. The company, taking into: consideration the organization, will continue to operate the mill at St. Raymond. Messrs. W. & H. Kennedy, of Quebec, who have been in the fumber business for over thirty years, at the same time acting as steamship agents at Montreal, recently decided to sell out their lum- ber interests but will remain to carry on in the shipping business. Saving Young Trees is Important An interesting contest is being conducted by the Interlake Tissue Mills Co., of Toronto, whose plant is located at Merritton, Ont. The management announce that the object of the competition is to conserve the natural resources of Canada. Geo. Carruthers, pre- sident of the Interlake Co., who is also vice-president of the Cana- dian Pulp & Paper Association, has long been a strong advocate of safeguarding the wooded wealth of the “Dominion, and particularly Christmas trees. In a breezy announcement sent out in connection with the competition he says that every year thousands of trees are destroyed and shipped in trainloads to cities for Christmas use, resulting in an appalling loss of the forest wealth of the nation. It is also pointed out that trees stabilize the climate, conserve water- power, improve agriculture and ensure future generations their rightful inheritance. To offset this unnecessary waste and invite persons to make Christmas tree screens to take the place of real article is the object of the test of the Interlake Tissue Mills, and valuable prizes are being donated for the best screen, the contest closing on December Ist. The screens must be made out of crepe paper only and in size must . > : ‘ A % aes me 4 eee | ; sd CANADA LUMBERMAN OSS py eae be 5 feet wide and & feet high. It is pointed out that the Christmas tree may be hung in any convenient corner and a receptacle for gifts may be plac ed behind the same. Mr. Carruthers believes that the tissue paper creation will answer every purpose from a decora- tive. useful, sentimental and other standpoint as a real tree and at the same time enlist the interest of Canadians young and old in the perpetuation of the young growth in our forests. Mr. Carruthers is not the only man who has drawn attention to the woeful annual waste of young trees. At the last convention of the Canadian Lumbermen’s Association, held in Montreal, J. Fraser Gregory, of St. John, N.B., who is a prominent lumberman, stated that the export of Christmas trees from the Eastern provinces by hundreds of thousands was becoming alarming. He* declared that these trees would become more valuable if left. to grow. A greater- revenue would eventually be derived from them by the people instead of them being cut and sent out of the country every winter. All persons loved Christmas trees but substitutes could be found and it would be more profitable all round if the immature spruce was not cut and taken away for Yuletide decorations. Mr. Gregory said that he felt very keenly on this point and a number of other delegates spoke in a similar strain. Considerable discussion took place in the press at that time regarding the reference of Mr. Gregory and his attitude on the question was widely endorsed. New School for Pulp Mill Workers Arrangements have been completed for the courses to be given at the new pulp and paper school which is affiliated with the Tech- nical School in Three Rivers, Que. This result was the outcome of a conference which was held recently by representatives of the indus- try and the forestry service of the province. The object in view was to arrange two systems of courses to be given in the new school and the. co-operation of the advisors named by the Pulp and Paper Association has been sought in this x respect. | The first series of courses will last four years during which the ) students will frequent the schools for a period of thirty- six weeks per year, following the courses, and working in the pulp and paper mills eight hours per day from September to : June. A fifth year will comprise special courses to specialize in pulp and paper fabrication. To allow the men employed in pulp and paper mills to become experts in their trades, special evening courses will also be conducted. Move to Finance Woods Operations Ontario courts have appointed receivers for the Dryden Paper Company, Limited, the same being F. Perry of Montreal and F. A. Sabbaton of Grand Mere, the latter one of the directors of the com- pany and a large shareholder. It is understood that application was made with the co-operation of the directors and is in the nature of a friendly development for the purpose of enabling the company to | finance its woods operations this year and conserve the equities for the creditors and shareholders. | No reorganization is in prospect at this time, as it is hoped that the company. can be put on a profitable basis and eventually dis- charged from receivership. The company found itself unable to pay ! the sinking fund and interest on its bonds, due October I, and at the same time finance the year’s wood’s operations. Porcupine Company Improving Mill at Hoyle The Porcupine Pulp & Lumber Co.,,Limited, has been operating at Hoyle, Ont., for the past six years. The head office of the com- pany is at Niagara Falls, N.Y., and the president is E. E. Mansfield, of Niagara Falls. The Porcupine organization takes out an aver- age of 8,000 cords a year and this season let contracts for about 11,000 cords of 4 feet wide. The wood is cut by contractors from lands either owned by the company or upon which they have cutting rights. The company has rights upon some 8,000 acres. M. E. Crouch, who is an Ontario land surveyor and formerly resided in Port Arthur and Nipigon, Ont., has been appointed manager of the organization. Hoyle is on the T. & N. O. Railway, 16 miles south of Timmins. The Porcupine Company owns 39 acres at Hoyle, upon which are mill buildings, etc. A subsidiary concern, the Porcupine River Improvement Co., Limited, operate a dam on the Porcupine River at the mill and have certain driving rights on the stream under the Provincial act governing such companies. The wood is either rossing plant. The company does not operate any camps itself, but gives con- tracts to outsiders for all wood. The mill rosses on an average about 125 cords in ten hours. For the past two months men have been placing concrete piers under the mill, erecting a new com “wick brings him in contact, and also with Dr. J. D. Tothill, of hauled direct to the mill or driven down the Porcupine River to the. and making other changes and improvements.

The buildings at Hoyle now con of the manager’s house, cashier’s house, store and offices, ross mill, bunkhouses, accommodating 70 men, cookery, warehouse stables, blacksmith shop, etc. No sawmill is operated in connectii with the plant but it is understood that the Porcupine organiza has under consideration a proposition to instal one to utilize” enormous quantities of poplar and birch on their lands. All the wo rossed at Hoyle is shipped by the Temiskaming & Northern Ontat Railway to the Cliff Paper Co., of Niagara Falls, N.Y. 2 Beetles Create Havoc in Burned Trees Dr. Arthur Gibson, of Ottawa, Dominion Entomologist, has conferring in Fredericton, N.

University of — Deciding Old A Agreetiont on Timber In the Supreme Court, Mr. Justice Rose has the pleasant tase of interpreting an agreement executed July 2, 1887, between The Can- adian Land and Emigration Company and the united townships of Dysart, Dudley, Guildford, Harcourt, Harburn, Bruton, Havel Eyre and Clyde, who are the plaintiffs in an action against The adian Land and Immigration Co., of Haliburton, Ltd., the Canadi Bank of Commerce and W. H. Lockhart Gordon, Toronto. Plaintiffs declare that they entered into an agreement with ~ Canadian Land and Emigration Company, by which the compa: would sell the timber on the road allowances as well as their own. As the amount on the road allowances was estimated at two per cent. of the total, the company was required to pay the municipality two per cent. of the total received, for privilege. The commissioners for the company were James M. Irwin, since deceased, and Ww. Lockhart Gordon. Recently, plaintiffs proceed, the defendants sold to the Hy Electric Power Commission of Ontario all their land and timber the township of Bruton for about $35,000, as well as a large b of timber to the Standard Chemical Co. On these sales the p tiffs complain they have received only $23.76 for 1919; $41.08 1920 and $57.80 for 1921, on behalf of the Hydro Electric Commiss and $24.04 for 1919 and $27.53 for 1920 on behalf of the- Stand: Chemical Company. : They ask for an interpretation of the agreement and_a stater as to what the plaintiffs are entitled to receive out of the pure price of the timber sold by defendants, as well as a declaration of t respective rights of plaintiffs and defendants and an- accounting. c all timber sold by the latter. Defendants deny that by the agreement iheyemmee pay pe two per cent. of the selling price of all timber but declare that the amounts referred to as having been paid to the plaintiffs on be i of the Hydro Commission and the Standard Chemical Compania the amounts to which the plaintiffs are entitled, and were pai those corporations to the plaintiffs. Since the agreement the Canadian Land and ‘Emierasiag ( posed of half their interests to Messrs. Irwin-& Gordon and the ot half of the Canadian Land and Emigration Company.

Almost Ideal _ Operations Have Been Going on in That Area for Fifty Years—Visit to the Booth Camp Was Interesting—The Various Activities By J. R. Walton and J. D. Brown The timber limits of J. R. Booth, Limited, are extensive and are located at various points throughout Canada. The veteran “lumber king” who is hurrying to the century mark, having passed his 96th milestone, is the largest holder of woodlands in the world. Mr. Booth has always believed in the gospel of hard work and is the oldest active lumberman on the American continent. Of particular interest are Mr. Booth’s limits at Long Lake in the Algonquin Park district. As head of the organization of J. R. Booth Limited, he is the guiding genius of all its logging activities. ‘He has lived in Ottawa for the last 66 years and is still going strong. Next to him in an executive position is John Black, who is stationed at headquarters at Ottawa and with the aid of a travelling northern part of Divine Township. Logging has been going on on this tract for the past fifty years, first for white pine saw timber only, then commencing at a later date for spruce. It was first granted by the Government to the Fraser Lumber Company who cut only the choicest of the white pine and then sold it to the Intercolonial Company. This com- pany continued to log it for white pine up till ten years ago when they in turn sold it to J. R. Booth, Limited, primarily for the spruce it contained but also for any white pine they might find. The cruiser’s estimate was 80,000 cords of spruce and 7,000,000 board feet of pine. They are finishing their last cut, and it has run to 5,000 cords of spruce and 75,000 board feet of pine. inspector, directs all bush operations from there. Under Mr. Black are a number of ‘imspectors, or, as they are often called, “walking bosses,” _each of whom has charge of a definite sub-division of the limit and the camps in it. These men spend most of their time travelling from camp to camp, more or less in the capacity of inspectors, _ making their headquarters usually at the camp nearest _ the railway station. Directly under the agents are the camp _foremen. Each foreman has charge of a particular camp and is responsible to the agent for its activities. He is usu- ally French-Canadian by birth. His duties are supplemented by the camp clerk. — On this particular limit, the agent has headquarters at _ Brule Lake, situated on the i line of the Grand Trunk Railway, between Ottawa and Parry Sound. He is assisted im his duties by two men; a clerk, and assistant clerk. This agent has supervision over two camps, Numbers 1 and 2, distant .thirteen and nineteen ‘miles, respectively, from Brule a rough but direct tote road. _ There is, as a matter of fact, ~ another road which is in much better shape, but it is very round-about. A farm is situated on this second road, where _ vegetables are grown for the two camps, and it is mainly for the transportation of these : supplies to the camp stores, that it is used. All executive business, such as employment | of men, keeping of accounts, Wages, etc., is carried on at the office at Brule Lake. The limit in question is cated in the northern half th 1e townships of Butte and D: vine, which part is in the ern and central portion of onquin Park.

IN WITNESS WHEREOPF, we hereunto attach our respective signatures :— © seiiisesser Sener os cea OS Witness for Purchaser Copy of contract sereerant employed by J. R. Booth, of Ottawa, in dealing with logging contractors / Because of the prevailing low prices for hardwoods and the difficulties of bringing them to market—driving being the only means of transporta- tion—it is profitable to cut only conifers, and even these are restricted to spruce and pine. Balsam, though it is of good proportions and sound, has not good driving qualities for long duration, water-log- ging being its principal defect. © The length of the drive is of two years’ duration, and French Canadians are employ- ed solely for this purpose as well as for most of the other logging operations. It is found cheaper to import these men from Gaspe, rather than hire English-speaking men to do the work. Cutting Conifers Only Profitable The topography of this limit is characterized by fairly - steep parallel ridges running East and West, with valleys a quarter of a mile to half a mile wide between; this con- dition gives rise to four forest types. On the ridges is found a pure hardwood stand, consist- ing of hard maple, yellow birch, beech; the stand is virgin and fairly open, with a dense reproduction of hard maple about five feet high. On the upper slopes is a mixed type of maple, birch, white spruce, hemlock, balsam, with an occasional white pine; the lower slopes are covered with a coniferous type of balsam, white spruce, black spruce and an occasional white pine; in the valleys are black spruce Swamps with scattered balsam according as the swamp is very wet or fairly dry. There is practically no slash, what little there is being confined — mostly to the lower slopes and in a rapidly decaying state.

It is clear that American users of pulpwood have not got over their fears as to a possible embargo. The exports of wood in August totalled 163,411 cords, valued at $1,790,772, the second highest total for the year. The effect of the appointment of a committee of inquiry is demonstrated more clearly by the exports for the five months of the fiscal year. They amounted to 700,716 cords, valued at $6,873,165, compared with 411,661 cords and $4,255,333 or more than 70 per cent. St. John Market Reports Quiet Conditions There-is very little stirring in local market conditions, and there has been hardly-any noticeable increase in the demand from either the American or English markets. The same irregularity in prices are reported. Some of the largest manufacturers are holding “pat” and refus- ing to cut their prices. They are confident that the present quiet spell will not last and the near future will see bigger and better times for the trade. Provincial random is holding and some orders from the Ameri- can market have been returned as the prices were not high enough. The prices are steady for boards although the demand is not more than moderate volume, but the tone is firm. The price of laths remains at $6.50 and from well informed circles it is said that they may be higher and certainly not lower for some time to come. The market for 1 5/8 laths is firmer and good prices are being asked and secured for this size. The demand for shingles is fair and the outlook is that it will increase. Prices remain unchanged but still firm. Some shipments of provincial random have been going forward to England and the market there indicates continued strength. On the whole there is little change in conditions in St. John and it is evident that the manufacturers are content to wait until things become more favorable. Shipments from Quebec Have Been Good Notwithstanding the political situation in Europe, affecting the commercial and industrial conditions of Great Britain and the dock- ers’ strike that lasted seven weeks to tie up the shipping of British ports, the shipment of Canadian timber and deals through the port of Quebec this season of navigation of the St. Lawrence has been fairly good. During the month of September 1,270,499 feet, b.m timber, 986,194 feet b.m., deals and 65,455 feet, b.m., spoolwood, making a total of 2,326,650 feet b.m., was shipped from the port of Quebec, or a grand total of 10,687,931 feet, b.m., shipped from the beginning of navigation to September 30th. ; The September shipments would have been further augmented if the British dockers’ strike had not taken place which caused the — British importers to cable instructions not to ship goods ordered until the cessation of the strike. In thé meantime no new orders have been received by the Quebec shippers from their United King- dom customers and, owing to the present complex color of the European political situation in spite of Germany’s back-down in the © Ruhr, British importers are using the utmost caution in their buying _ This does not denote that the wood inter- _ ests in the United Kingdom are to any extent alarmed and becoming ~ They are fully confident that — are guarding ~ for the present, at least. less optimistic at the turn of events. the situation will soon begin to brighten but they against any further difficulty in the rates of exchange and the econo- — mical conditions which might, in the meantime, assume an aspect of stringency which they desire to cope with. Confidential reports received from England by expert students in political and economic conditions, while not. pessimistic in their opinions, discuss the wood market and its prospective probabilities with caution in order to discourage any tendency towards. specula- tion. They refer to the position ‘of the market, the level of prices and probabilities of higher or lower values ruling as tO warrant no satisfactory conclusions. [From an importing point of view they refet to the poor outlook of many industries in Great Britain and the impossibility of real prosperity returning to England while — Europe remains in its present turbulent and unsettled condition.

On the part of the British sellers they have many uncomfort- e moments on account of the foreign exchanges fluctuating in a nner calculated to stop all international business. This has been ther accentuated by the chaos in Germany and threatened revolu- tion in that unfortunate country to offset the effects of the German rernment’s decision to bring the passive resistance in the Ruhr aN end. The surrender of the Germans in this respect was decided & all off a threatened revolution. They realize with all European tesmen that their action was tardy and if they had come to ‘that clusion even one’ month sooner, they would have avoided their it difficulties and greatly assisted the European world to ver itself. However, though late, a step has been taken that - soon lead to a tangible understanding between Germany, rance, Belgium and the allied powers of Great Britain and Italy. 1e ‘meantime it takes more than trade depression to discourage itish. sn tish eects in the timber and lumber trade do not anticipate top in values. They say that unfortunately when a fall does take e, it proceeds too far and prices drop more than is actually justi- fied. But too much wood has been sold this year to allow any ensational | change in prices. Nervousness on the part of a few will ot create anything approaching a slump. Moreover, there is nothing ‘this season to give the impression that there will be a slump. Steadi- ‘ness has been ‘the pronounced feature and when a market has been steady for a year or more, prices become stabilized and change ges a While there is Pens to justify speculation, it is the opinion E Eaviorts that British importers are fairly safe in totalling up speci- itions for the winter that are likely to create orders for Canadian 1 shipments, for to carry light stocks during the winter as a pre- ition in expectation of an alteration in fowb. prices this year, is . deemed a good policy in confronting the present statistical position. ~The London market in the first weeks of September was in an abnormal condition and the demand strong. In other sections of England which have not been affected by the dockers’ strike, trade Js fair and the majority of importers admit that their sales are most ‘satisfactory. On the South Coast consumption is quite up to expec- tations. In the midland districts, merchants who allowed their tocks to run low in anticipation of a slump in prices or the hope of concessions, have come to realize that values are firm and more likely rise than fall: In the West Coast trade is better than in the early mmer while in Scotland there is a slight improvement and this oe applies to Ireland where the Free State Government enjoying confidence of the people is now carrying on with a view to rees- lishing the country in line with practical, sane legislation that ebodes a big business for 1924 in which reconstruction will be a ding factor. Referring to the question of non- employment in England, infor- mation received dealing with the question says it has been consider- bly, reduced but, unfortunately, indications are that the trade is urning. ‘This is unusual at this period of the year when unemploy- it should be at a minimum.

J. B. Knox, of Montreal, president of the British Empire Lumber Corporation, said that by the end of the present season of naviga- tion his firm will have received eight cargoes of lumber and timber from Vancouver, estimated at from 35 000, 000 feet to 40,000,090 feet. Thees cargoes are carried on vessels chartered by the company and are being ‘disposed of almost as soon as received. This new lumber trade is ‘tegarded as one of the most significant developments of the Panama Canal traffic, from the Canadian view point. Better Tone Generally in Ontario Market There is a little better tone in the general market than prevailed during the month of September and business is picking up some in a number of lines although the improvement is not as marked < many would like to see. ‘he general outlook has improved in some small places but building in “the larger centres is rather on the decline. Prices on all forest products are holding firm. Collections are not as good as they might be and the banks have been tightening up on credits. This has naturally caused a-falling off in buying in certain territories but. on the whole, conditions are sound. Available stocks are none too plentiful, there is no speculative element in trading and what transactions are taking place are based on actual needs and not on “futures.” The situation is still spotty and on the whole the lumber business of 1923 should, so far as turnover is con- cerned, show a considerable increase over that of 1922. Collections are fair. So far as white pine is concerned, there is a lively call for No. 1 and No. 2 mill culls in all widths. The lower grades of pine are pretty well cleaned up in the Middle West and the available stocks in Ontario are limited. No. 1 culls are used principally for box man- ufacture and No. 2 for crating, rough sheeting and other purposes. Some sales have recently been made at a very satisfactory figure. In the hardwood lumber line business has improv ed so far as American demand is concerned, and there is a good call for all grades of birch up to 2% inches in thickness in No. 2 common and better. A scarcity is reported in 6/4 No. 1 common and selects. Automobile concerns in Detroit and other cities are purchasing quite heavily at the present time. Maple is scarce in all grades and thick- nesses and very little is being offered. Northern elm, except in - thicker lengths, is tather slow and there is also very little activity in beech. Not much basswood appears on the market at the present time although some heavy sales were recently reported. The requsi- tions for 6/4 and 8/4 brown ash, No. 1 common and better, and for 4/4 in Ists and 2nds are strong. A number of Ontario sawmills have closed for the season, some of them a month earlier than usual owing to logs hung up on many of the northern drives this spring due to low water conditions. The cut of three or four large plants will, therefore, be considerably less than it was a year ago and this through no fault of the firms them- selves. Practically all the mills will close down by the end of October. A large number of men, which have been employed in the mills and yards will go to the woods for the winter. The labor situation is improving somewhat and as the western harvest is now garnered, there is a more liberal supply of help. Nearly all the leading lumber companies are putting in as many camps as last year, if not more, and the logging harvest on the whole will apparently be heavier than in 1922-23. ‘ So far as western mills are concerned, there is every reason to- believe that the next few months will witness an acute shortage of common items which to-day are none to plentiful. ber firm states that the situation will be further aggravated not only by the demand from Japan, the government of which country will likely suspend import duties on standard West Coast yard stock, but California, Atlantic Coast and Australia will also be competing against one another for their requirements. Australia, which was out of the market for basic Coast products for a couple of months has, since the Japanese disaster, sent in many inquiries, while the California market has also advanced several dollars per M. It is believed that the call of the Japanese market on the West Coast mills will affect the general lumber market of America. While there have been-no visible increases as yet and will not likely be until con- crete business develops, the old law of supply and demand is bound to operate with the usual results. Reports from various parts of Western Ontario, as well as the Far East, show that most retail yards are rather quiet. While there is a certain amount of lumber moving out, it is not enough to stimu- late an active demand or any. buying other than for- immediate requirements. In numerous yards stocks are fairly complete and it One leading lum- | 62 CANADA LUMBERMAN GREENING’S Metal Screens For Burner Tops and Engines Soe S rr rere a 4 eee ee inn Let pee ae aoe 88 = | Gog 6x6 mesh, No. 16 imperial gauge, for portable and donkey engines tHe B.GREENING WIRE Co... uimiteo HAMILTON ONTARIO Montreal, Que.

Improving Aspect of Business Forecasts The great war crop of 1915 has been left behind by a hundred on bushels. The vast flood of, grain is moving eastward from he prairies from what is estimated to be the greatest harvest in =e history, A leading paper poignantly says, “if the people of his country were not so strangely pre-disposed at this time to sus- ect that every egg is addled and that every to-morrow is going to a disagreeable day, the enormous crop of 1923 would set this coun- singing from coast to coast, and everyone would begin to be as and happy as bees in clover.” Business generally is “taking ona apidly improving aspect, and to observe another significant sign, 1e need |but reflect that unemployment has almost ceased to exist in nada. Immigration is on the increase and there will constantly be more people to , shelter. ee Contemplated new construction reported during September totalled $50,779,000, or $11,702,200 more than a year ago. There seems no room for doubt now, but that activity for the rest of the building year will be considerably higher than had been rather 3 pommonly expected. Pronounced activity has been in evidence this year in the con- Eetiuen of public works and utilities. During the first nine months 1923 contracts were awarded in the Dominion for 219 bridges, costing $3,738,800; 66 dams and wharves, $3,379,200; 190 sewer anid ter systems, $3, 677,200; 1,087 road construction contracts, $37,- 809,100; and 250 general engineering projects, costing $28,025,000. This represents a total of $76,629, 300 expended on engineering de- velopments alone, or $24,630,300 more than during the same period 1922. With the return of lower interest rates, provinces, counties, nicipalities, railroads and certain other corporations will now titute building programs which have been latent for many years. is now more than ten years since interest rates have been as low as t are today, and this condition will likely become more favor- ab le during the next two years. The total awards for Canadian construction for the month of : September, according to MacLean Building Reports, Limited, were $23,382, 100. While this total shows a falling off of $4,106, 600 from \ugust, it must be remembered that the autumn is a period of com- tion rather than inception of important new work. ‘The decline natural and seasonal. Rjsidential building accounted for 34.7% of the September total, and amounted to $8,091,300. Business build- in "amounted to $5, 374,200, or 22. 6% ; industrial pbuilding, $816,700, Sh Jo; and public works and utilities, $9,099,900, or 38.9%. More Stable Values Darine the Year general longing in the timber trade ever since prices came bling down in 1921 has been for stability, says the “Timber rades Journal” of London Eng. Previous to 1914 excitement was elcomed as a pleasant change from the monotonous course of values after year, and as offering opportunities for mild speculation. rades have had enough of excitement these last few years; they | welcome most heartily a change towards a stable basis of s, and would rejoice in some such sense of security as that they enjoyed before the war. On looking back at the events resent season and remembering at the same time the state vorld politics and the circumstances under which trading ations have been conducted, it is impossible to avoid the conclu- hat the timber trade in Great Britain has had a season which, cards prices, approaches very closely to the old conditions. An on in the basis of values of, say, 10s. per standard, was a ous event before the war, and frequently from one year’s end ther a difference of about 5s. per standard represented the on in f.o.b. prices. Di uring the present season up to date there hag really been very change. Certainly the quotations of some shippers have varied ith the leading shippers, have been on an astonishingly Jasis. During the current season Europe has seemed again to be on the brink of war or revolution, and currencies oh eee he * ae? ay mi — £ io pe “iT * ™ ee Ba oe: ee a a « ie St LUMBERMAN 63 _the timbers to make the logs useless as an asset for logging and — od deal, but the actual contracts closed, and especially those. have depreciated to an extent which seemed incredible, and yet the whole time the timber trade has pursued a steady course. During the season of 1922 prices rose rapidly, reacting strongly from. the slump of the previous year, but the rising process slowed down towards the end of last s¢ ason and may now be said to have ceased altogether. It may well be that, as regards f.o.b. prices, the market has now reached its zenith, that the costs of logs and of production will be lower in the near future. and that with European trade in a state of chaos we shall-not see any higher prices, but rather a steady reduc- tion to a level which will correspond with the lessened cost to the producers. Costs, however, do not come down rapidly, and if supply and demand in the timber world have, as seems probable from the course of the market over the past couple of years, adjusted them- selves, we are likely to have a fairly steady level of prices. For the present season shippers have done so well that a slump is not to be expected; but, as lower wages enable sawn goods to be produced more cheaply, exporters may find it possible to start the 1924 campaign on a more moderate basis. In the producing coun- tries we do not think this idea is as yet the prevailing one, but unless a great change takes place in the condition of Europe, it seems a very likely contingency. We repeat, however, that, taking into account the great need for sawn goods, the progress of house- building in England and the reconstruction work waiting to be done in nearly all parts of the world, the probabilities of any drastic fall in wood values are not great. Logging Activities Depend on Circumstances The extent of lumber operations to be carried on this fall and winter in the Quebec district forests have not as yet been definitely arranged. The difficulty in the way is the scarcity and high cost of labor. Quebec limit holders have the vision of a big cut to meet the 1924 demand for timber and manufactured lumber, and have found, while making est:mates and in consultation with their forest foremen, that labor will be scarce this winter owing to the emigration ol the many thousand woodsmen and their families to the United States and Northern Ontario, especially the former. The exodus from the province naturally has caused a dearth of woodsmen and a demand ~ for increase of wages by the labor available. The added cost in log- — ging will, as a consequence, tend to increase the price of lumber. ; These conditions have been seriously cons:dered by the Quebec _ limit holders and the lumber trade in general and while the operators — admit that they look for a big harvest this winter, they say that ifis — impossible at the present time to make any definite statement as — their activities will depend altogether on circumstances. They ad- — mit, however, that they will have to be careful and in this regard © will not unnecessarily speculate on the future. In this respect more — attention will be given to the supply needed for shipment to the — American market than to the United Kingdom, on account of the un-_ certainty of the latter market owing to the complex political condi- — tion of Europe. Another phase in the situation is the disappointment felt by the lumber operators at the refusal of the Quebec Government to con- — tinue the suspension of the 1920 stumpage dues, etc., granted by an — Order-In-Council in 1921-22 and 1922-23, which would, in a measure, mitigate the increased cost in operation in the woods this winter bya the scarcity of and demands of labor. The Government were im- pressed with the idea that fifty per cent. of the timber could be log- | ged in the burnt areas and conceded a reduction in tariffs in this operating connection, no doubt obsessed that this concession would — satisfy the limit holders and lumber operators in general. In this — connection the activities of the worm and borer were not seriously — reckoned with. These pests, contrary to calculations, made their — appearance and set to work much sooner than anticipated and for some time have been on the timber stands in the burnt areas. The — borers especially, have been busy boring their way into the spine of — those, who had made calculations to save fifty per cent. for disposi- — Fs: tion as culls, are meeting with disappointment, in so far as log gging | for timber and deals are concerned. Mr. Chahoon, president of the Laurentide Paper Co., of } Grand Mere, recently gave out a statement at a meets ing of the company’s board of directors that 80 per cent. of this — pulpwood area owned by the company which had been swept by fire, | would be ‘saved. Other similar corporations do not entertain the — same sanguine feeling, obsessed with the fear that the worm and the borer will make progress before they would proceed very far with a their cutting. # In the meantime, the Quebec mill owners with limit holdings are in hopes of doing a big export to the American markets in thes spring and summer of 1924 and making preparations accordingly. © The trade with this market has been exceedingly good this summer a Oe we ee eS See er ae” lm ee ee ee ee ge SS ee : | ; | CANADA LUMBERMAN aa ivi The illustration appearing above shows a Linn Logging Tractor equipped with Pulp wood rack, having a capacity for four cords of four foot wood LINN LOGGING TRACTOR Where the operator is hauling logs, we supply double bolsters, 10’ long, inside, and having ~ a capacity of 1750’, or about 3'4 cords. 5 The Linn Logging Tractor comes equipped with both sled and wheel steerage—the wheel steer- age enables the operator to utilize his Linn Logging Tractor, also for portaging—the Linn Logging Tractor with a platform mounted on bolsters or pulp wood rack, has a carrying cap- acity of itself, of ten tons, entirely in addition to the trailer loads it hauls behind it.

Therefore, the purchasing power of the farmers will be materially higher than in 1922, which justifies the conclusion that demand from agricultural districts will increase as these crops are marketed.

How to Give Canada Permanent Forest At the present time, every voice is raised, and every ambition strained to win new population. New population costs. Immigra- tion is expensive salesmanship. While every conservationist wants to see new settlers brought to Canada h’s sense of proportion makes him ask why we cannot spend, at least, a couple of extra dollars to block the emigration of Canadian families driven out of the forest areas by the plague of human-set forest fires. District after district has been abandoned, and whole counties have décreased in popula- tion. Railway lines have lost the bulk of local traffic. Towns have been boarded up and for the sole reason that a forest resource which should have been perpetual has been swept off the ledger of Canadian assets by the recklessness of Canadian citizens, said Robson Black, of the Canadian Forestry Association, in a recent address before the Rotary Club of Ottawa. Whose fault it is that the forests of Canada run down hill? The focus point is right here in this room, he continued. We as citizens own 85 per cent. of the forest lands of the Dominion and are directly and personally responsible for what is done with the only crop that can grow on these our lands. [very civilized country on earth looks to the state with its self-perpetuating life, and its providential rela- tionship to its people, to look after the forest properties which, unlike wheat or potatoes, require as much as a century to mature. The state is the obvious and only efficient custodian of the rights of future generations in a very slow growing but utterly essential national resource. Before an intelligent and helpful interest on the part of the pub- lic can bring about a measure of complete forest protection we will have to jettison two or three fetishes, all of which are predominantly false and yet fix themselves upon succeeding generations. One of these fetishes is that the forest resources have been given away or otherwise alienated. They never were and are not today. All but fifteen per cent. of the timbered acres of Ontario are under the con- _ trol of the Ontario government as concerns measures of conservation, The right to cut timber is leased on 10 million acres and the re- mainder of eighty million acres is still held by the Crown. the meaning of a lease to’an operating company? That 42,000 work- men in Ontario shall be allowed to draw a regular week’s pay and that 36 million dollars shall be allowed to circulate as w ages each year and that 123 millions received for forest products in Ontario shall be enjoyed by every business interest and every workman in the province. The so-called timber baron cuts down logs worth five dollars. Out of that he hands over $4.50 as wages and for materials and the _remaining fifty cents he splits between interest on his investment and taxes to the Ontario government aggregating $4,000,000 a year. Strangely enough we visualize the motor car industry as the “life blood” of Oshawa and Walkerville and a dozen other towns and the “meal ticket” of thousands of workmen and, at the next instant, discuss the lumber business as the sinecure of a quartet of “barons” into whose purse pour untold millions wrung from a wretched pea- — santry driven to build two-car garages with high price boards. More — men have left the lumber industry in the last ten years than have entered it and most of those who moved out, were not financial gainers for their experience. You ask what is to be done to give Canada a permanent forest and the immediate and only comprehensive answer is—Keep Out the Fires. We citizens burn ten times the trees that the lumbermen have cut and since the earliest days of Canadian history have put a torch to 600,000 square miles as against about 100,000 square miles utilized by all the lumbermen from coast to coast. Please let us lay off the cry for tree planting to produce timber until we look into a much more inviting proposition. An acre of human-made plantation of spruce is a lov ely sight. How few of us know that there is in Canada a plantation of just 50 million det nsely packed acres of young forests set out by Nature without human con- trivance or expense. They lie in patches from coast to coast. That 50 million acres is richer than all the gold mines for its gold grows and repeats into endless generations. All that plantation asks for is that fire be kept out. What istua 66 CANADA LUMBERMAN < MOnITGAL= Cenega A bush fire which broke out on Langley Prairie, B.

For further information, write to the De- partment of Lands and Forests, at Quebec. ELZ, MIVILLE-DECHENE, 20 » Deputy Minister. Empire Delegates Welcomed at Queen’s Park Prior to leaving recently for the western provinces, the members of the British Empire Conference were received at the Parliament Buildings, Toronto, by Premier G. Howard Ferguson and Hon. James Lyons, Minister of Lands and Forests. In extending the greetings of the province to the distinguished visitors, the Premier stated that Ontario took considerable pride in her natural resources, and that he felt the present visit would do much toward the spreading of information regarding them through the Empire, with many beneficial results to immigration. “Although this Government has been in office for less than a month,” he de- clared, “it is endeavoring to put into practice a rather intensive policy of securing new population adapted to the needs of this country.” Referring to the commendatory remarks made by the delegates on the St. William nurseries, Hon. Mr. Lyons suggested that, it would be highly appreciated, should help in the reforestation prob- lems of the province, be forthcoming from members of the con- ference. Replying on behalf of his colleagues, Lord Lovat offered to the province the fullest use of any information which had been obtained in Europe, where reforestation had been in practice for many years. As a slight return for the hospitality which had been extended in Canada, he felt that all their technical knowledge should be placed at the disposal of this country. “We are finding our study of your timber resources and conser- vation plans very instructive and may congratulate you upon your forward-looking policy of conserving and renewing your wood re- sources,” he stated. “Unlike your neighbors in the United States, who have not taken the same wise view of conserving forest wealth as you, you still have vast resources, while theirs are rapidly nearing depletion.” Most important to.the maintenance of prosperity is a fair day’s work. — Special — o~» Hard Maple Lumber Feet SiO siya ee a AIG Ge 10,000 1A x ry eal) AN | Grade: 90,000 Dy x ” —6/16’ \ 2,500 a x Bigg Bat eb), No. 3 Common and Better all well-manufactured stock Also: White Pine Spruce Hemlock in all grades and dimensions The Rideau Lumber Co., Limited Established 1897 Ottawa = : : Canada STV APR re FS Se ee ee 74 CANADA, LUMBERDMAN "t Dre gare ie ALPHABETICAL INDEX TO ADVERTISERS ‘ Abbotsford Lumber & Mining Co. 30 Dominion Lumber Sales ....... 35. ander Alleman) a0 ta en oes bale 68 Rat Portage Lumber Co.

That, perhaps, more eloquently than any testimonial they could write, expresses their opinion of the value of ad- vertising in Canada’s leading publication in the construc- tion and engineering fields. If Mussens were a young firm or a new advertiser. this decision of theirs might not have so much significance. Fon The fact is, however, that for 20 years an advertisement for this firm has been appearing in every issue of “Con- tract Record”, and this increase of 300 per cent in the volume of their advertising in this one paper has been made after the most exacting test of the value of the pub- lication. Experience has evidently taught them that the buyers of heavy equipment in Canada read and are influenced by the advertisements which appear in “Contract Record”.

So successful has been their per- formance that practically all users of the machine, when in the market for additional surfacers of this type, have re-ordered 177’s. This is a gratifying fact. Here is an important detail of its construction. Eight inch feed rolls, exceptionally large for a surfacer of this type, are furnished on the 177 and make possible a very powerful feed. These rolls successfully will feed to any cut which the machine might be called upon to take. Then too, Yates 177 has various other exclusive features which make it exceedingly accessible and easy to operate. We suggest that you re- quest full particulars of the machine. PB YatesMachine Co.

The illustration shows one of the latest designs of gang circular patented by Mr. 1. 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. : William Hamilton Co., Limited PETERBORO ONTARIO J. L. Neilson & Co., Winnipeg, Man. E.

The 40,900,000 feet annual cut will run: 15,000,000 ft. maple annually 6,000,000 ft. birch annually 2,500,000 ft. beech annually 2,500,000 ft. elm annually 900.000 ft. basswood annually 200,000 ft. ash annually 6,000,000 ft. hemlock annually 3,000,000 {t. white pine annually the balance in Spruce and Tamarack. Our exceptional service, grades, and manufacture will be main- tained. “Low freight rate shipments by water to Toronto, Montreal, Owen Sound, Port Arthur, and other Great Lakes and St. Law- rence River Ports. Conveniently located also for rail shipments to inland points by C.P.R. or Soo line.” We will be pleased to hear from old friends and from new ones who can understand and appreciate what permanent connection with such a source of supply would mean.

Power Transmission Service is Taken for Granted After we receive an order from a customer we rarely hear from him again until he is ready to place his next order. Then it comes along automatically. There’s no correspondence about delays. Promises as to delivery are fulfilled, and, of course, the qual- ity of Dodge Power Transmission Machinery is never questioned. In brief, the reliability of Dodge Power Transmission Units has become so firmly established that it calls for no comment. Power users expect the best in quality and service from us, and would be just as astonished as we should be ashamed if they were disappointed. The point we particularly want to stress in this advertisement is: that an order for one small pulley or a few feet of shafting is just as welcome and as carefully looked after as a contract job. 4 Single pulley buyers of twenty and thirty years ago are to-day among our biggest accounts—we have grown and prospered together.

The retail dealer should put the same persistence _ into his work and advertising so far as stimu- lating the home-building instinct is con- cerned. This leads up to the statement that _ one of the greatest factors in the encourage- ment of home-building and making the pro- cess easy for the wage earner, is the crea- - tion of building and loan associations. The _ formation of such bodies have received at- tention at various gatherings of retail lum- _ bermen and at the last annual meeting of pthe O.R.L.D.A., held in Windsor, Ont., a resolution was carried to the effect “That We recognize the importance and value of _ the work that building and loan associations are doing in other places, and believe that it would bea desirable thing for our Asso- _ ciation. Be it resolved, therefore, that the secretary and directors be requested to take this matter up with the Ontario Govern- ment, looking to their permission to form such organization and to co-operate with any other organizations that are looking at the matter from our point of view.’ Across the border the facilities for form- _ ing such organizations are more simple and _ practical than on this side of the boundary. It was explained by one of the speakers at a recent gathering how difficult it was for prospective home builders in Canada to - secure the necessary credit with only a small _ cash investment. In the United States there are said to be 8,600 building and loan socie- _ ties doing a business of $1,400,000,000 an- nually. The reason that such associations have not flourished on this side of the 49th x ee Parallel is that the loan and trust corpora- tion act stipulates that a body of this kind must show a capital of $300,000 with $100,- 000 paid up before any progress can be made. In practically all the United States spe- cial statutes have been enacted governing the organization, amendment and supervi- sion of building and loan associations. These laws are to be found in the main designed to encourage their development and to pro- vide protection against pervision or misuse. Usually they are placed under the supervi- sion of the department having supervision of state banks. Certain states still exact a substantial charter fee, and in a few states unduly heavy fees are charged for examina- tion, but in the main the legislators, recog- nizing the paramount need of fostering these associations, have greatly simplified the pro- cedure in securing charters by establishing nominal fees and granting exemptions from taxation. The U. S. Federal Government for many years granted exemptions and _ privi- leges which have added greatly in extending the benefits of building *and loan bodies throughout the country. Local Funds for Local Benefit Building and loan associations vary great- ly in different States and even in different localities but the majority are local and, as the name implies, they are conducted for local benefit. It is declared that no other form of financial institution has a more fay- orable record of solvency or is conducted on a smaller margin of expense or renders greater service to savers and ‘borrowers alike. It is stated in Michigan that if it were not for building and loan associations seventy-five per cent of the business of re- _tail lumber dealers would ‘be cut off. The Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association hope to receive the assistance of allied bodies, when seeking legislation from the province that will enable local organi- zations to be operated in various centres. If this proposition can be carried out success- fully, it will aid very materially in encourag- ing building in. the smaller centres. House Building Interests Lumber Dealers There is little need to say anything re- garding a building and saving society or its functions and purpose. The object is mutual and co-operative and the members are united together for financial wellbeing and thrift. Most companies have both investing and borrowing members. They rely on the small savings of the people and the average per- son building a dwelling desires a long-time loan which can be paid off in weekly or monthly instalments by the owner. The person, who owns a house and is paying for it on that basis or who starts to save by some such plan, makes the best type of citizen. He has a real stake in the community. and payments are made just like rent. Churches are financed by what is known as the weekly envelope system and this has enabled the revenue of religious bodies to be increased regularly. It also makes it easy for attendants to donate larger sums than they otherwise would, to help along worth while causes and institutions. In the same way the regular weekly system- atic givings or savings are doing much to foster the feasibility of owning a home on the part of the small wage earners.

For that reason the Colonial type, whose outstanding characteristics are simplicity, symmetry and unassuming digni- ty, embodies the very qualities to be desired for the modern small home that will not be out of date when one’s children grow up. Here is a splendidly planned six room Colonial house that is truly Colonial in type. What could be more restful than the long, sweeping horizontal lines of the roof, broken by three simple dormers? On the exterior, ten inch wide siding is used, for the house is of frame throughout, with brick for the well balanced chimneys at either end. Wide siding has a tendency to make a house look larger, and therefore is a most suitable material for this house. Slender porch columns and six-panel doors are also true to type. Although there are two stories, the impression is that of an English Colonial cottage. _ The central hall type of floor plan is used: The living room at the left. There are open fireplaces in both of these rooms. Such built-in features as corner Colonial china cabi- net in the dining room, with seat and (bookcase flanking the fireplaces in the living room, will be noted on close examina- tion of the first floor plan. The kitchen is conveniently arranged. ‘There is a rear service vestibule with space for ice-box-and rear service porch. There are three bedrooms upstairs each with good cross ventilation from the windows. There is a tile bathroom and ample closet space for both clothing and linen. An overhead trapdoor in the upstairs hall permits of access to trunk stor- age space under the roof. This house is 34 feet 6 inches wide and 24 feet 6 inches deep, not including the depth of service porch and vestibule, 5 feet 2 inches. It has a cubical contents of 24,485 feet. According to the Home Owners’ Service In- stitute it would cost today from $11,000 to $13,000 to con- struct this house. Complete working drawings and specifi- cations are available through the Home Owners’ Service In- stitute, 37 West Thirty-ninth Street; New York City, at mod- erate cost. They can be examined and purchased at the Institute. Masonry.—All foundation walls, piers footings, areas, etc., to be of concrete.

A number of firms have replied that they follow the practice of making the customer pay for haulage and do not try to convince him that they are assuming something for which he does not have to pay. It has been pointed out several times in the columns of the “Can- ada Lumberman” that no yardman can afford to deliver lumber with- out receiving pay for the service. Motor or horse equipment cannot be bought and maintained and the time of a man or driver taken up without somebody going good for the expenditure. There are still in Eastern Canada some retailers who deliver lumber both inside and outside city limits and do not charge for the service but the number is comparatively few and is growing less each year, Should be Frank With Customers One Nova Scotia firm says:—‘We believe in being open and above board in this matter and letting a patron know just exactly what it is going to cost him to have the lumber carted to where he wants it. Apparently it may be philanthropic or generous for one to throw out his chest and say that ‘we assume that charge and it will not cost you accent’. ‘There is very little in this world without a quid pro quo or, in other words, we may think we are getting some- thing for nothing jbut, in the end, we generally pay. We believe in being frank in such matters and telling a customer just what it is going to cost him to have the material laid down at his door. Such a proceeding is more satisfactory all around than including the cost in the price for the finished article, we are of the opinion that delivery charges should be based according to distance. The man, who is five miles away from your yard should pay more to have his material taken to him than if he lived within the next block or two or, say, within a mile radius.” Another Nova Scotia firm states that they do not charge a cus- tomer for town deliveries ‘but any loads that are taken into the country have to be paid for on a certain arranged basis. A yardman in Hamilton, Ont., says that the price delivery there is supposed to be included in the cost of lumber per M as quoted from the office. “Personally” he adds “we do not think it is adequate to take care of the high cost of today. When delivery is made outside of the city limits we assess what we think the time is worth and also for gasoline and overhead charges. At the present time in this city a man with a few boards is paying the same price as the one who purchases a load.” : A Western Ontario dealer observes: “We include delivery charge in the price of our lumber so far as city cartage is concerned but we make a specific charge for out-of-town deliveries and the rate is $2.00 an hour, Is Free Delivery Necessary Handicap A Sherbrooke, Que., firm remark: ““We believe that there is no, such thing as free delivery of lumber and it is not possible, unless every concern delivering lumber in the community acts under an agreement to charge for delivery, to make any specified charge. We ourselves are catering to a large trade both in Sherbrooke and the surrounding towns and have had the question under consideration a great number of times but are compelled to look at it in the light of We no not make a charge to our customers for de- livery within the city limits no matter how large or small the order may be. We do, however, charge more for small lots of lumber than we do for large lots and the delivery cost we figure is in as an item of our overhead expense. Certainly a customer ordering a few ‘boards or a few bundles of lath, should tbe required to pay a delivery charge, but in a great many cases these customers are contractors or large consumers of lumber who send us big orders which help to pay the excessive cost of delivering small lots. “We also feel that a delivery of a small order sent to the cus- 2 tomer promptly and cheerfully without a delivery charge being speci- fied tends to bring more business from that customer or from his xy iyiends. We have somewhat regretfully come to the conclusion that “free delivery” is one of the necessary handicaps in the retail lumber CANADA LUMBERMAN How Retail Firms Handle Lumber Delivery Practically all Concerns Charge for Cartage to Country Points but Agree That There is Too Much Free Handling of Material Within Corporation Limits business, which must be borne by that much over-worked item “o head expense. iene _ “As for delivery to points out-of-town, by truck or team, a livery charge of so much per M is specified and agreed upon (ace ing to length of haul) between ourselves and our customers at time the order is booked.” a es Separate Charge on Each Load i A Montreal lumber firm says,—‘We make a separate charge form cartage on every load of material that we deliver.” A Hamilton, Ont., concern adds,—“We include our delivery charge in our selling price We, however, instruct our shippers that when taking small ordeis they must not forget to add for delivery. We make an extra charge for delivery out of Hamilton. ee. fon ‘t The general-manager of a well-known lumber company in an eastern Canadian city says that the whole subject of delivery charges — is being taken up by the local lumbermen at the present time and it is expected that a uniform policy will be agreed upon and further information be forthcoming in a short while. =a A New Brunswick lumberman remarks,—‘We quite agree with the contention that there must be an extra charge for delivery. We 4 quote all our prices, f.0.b. yard delivery charges extra. It is the only fair way as our margin of profit is small and will not stand delivery — charges. It is a perplexing problem as in some cases we have yards only a few miles away that are willing to make local delivery free and this often appeals to a customer. The whole problem is a diffi- — cult one to handle and yardmen must be governed by local condi- tions. It is certainly a question to know what to do sometimes.” 4 The “American Lumberman” has been delving deeply into the question of what retailers are charging for delivery costs and natural- ly the levies depend very much upon the size of the place in which © the dealer does business. It is however, interesting to compare the © fees charged in certain towns with those that prevail in the larger — cities. The figures will prove interesting and instructive. In one Kansas town of 5,000 population, a leading dealer gives the follow- ing information with respect to his system and charges for such a — service.He says:—We formerly, delivered all orders free, using our | own equipment, but abandoned that plan several years ago, and since have been charging for all deliveries. For this purpose we employ a dray line, this line doing all of our work and devoting certain equip- — ment to our exclusive use. The dray line is paid by the piece, and on all deliveries we charge our customers exactly what we pay for the service. We find this to be a much more equitable plan for a country yard than the free delivery system, as we depend largely for our trade upon the farmer who hauls his own goods. Under the delivery charge system the farmer or other customer who comes to the yard and hauls © his own merchandise obtains the same prices as the customer to whom we deliver. We also find that by charging for deliveries fewer — trips are required to deliver a bill of material than formerly, due to © the fact that we make a minimum charge per trip, thereby making it to the buyer’s advantage to order a load instead of only a few pieces | . Our schedule of delivery charges is as follows: = Lumber, per thousand feet Coal, per ton Cement, lime, plaster etc, per ton Shingles (wood), per thousand Lath (wood), per thousand Minimum charge, per trip a ae Be ee ee Oe ee ee ee ew ee ee AO OCC i eC Ce i CCC Carma yac ceri ir) ee i ee Ce mirc crn) Ce ee eC Ce emma cnr Pe ee ee eT Ce ec Charge Cartage to Merchandise In a California town of 2,000 population the appended charges — prevail according to a local retailer who says:—We believe that car- — tage is a merchandise charge the same as freight,, and we therefore — charge cartage to merchandise and not to expense. ‘Therefore it — would be as foolish to give away $100 worth of cartage as to give $100 ~ worth of lumber. We haul distances ranging from one block to 75 miles. In one case the lumber figured $187 and the cartage came to — $150. We have had numerous single loads lately where the cartage cost as much as the material was worth. We consider that in deliver- ing material we render a valuable service, for which our customers are glad to pay. We carefully show them that our cartage charge is s ‘ ae ~ ; than they could haul the material for themselves; in other words, at they can make more money at home working on their farms than they can by hauling their own material from our yards. In ten years we have had very few complaints. We consider that any dealer who gives cartage free simply is fooling himself because by so doing he cuts the price of his lumber, whether he admits it or not. Our delivery schedule is as follows: _ Minimum charge in town .........-..ee eee cence eet eee e eens $0.50 Memimber, per 1,000 feet, first mile 2.0.0... . ee eee werent ee eee’ 2.00 ' Cement, lime, brick, etc., per ton, first mile ..............+.++- 1.50 _ For each additional mile, 50 cents per mile on lumber and 40 cents per ‘ton on cement. Minimum charge for country delivery ........ $1.00 a _ Make Delivery Equipment Self Supporting In another city of 9,000 in the same state the accompanying fig- ures furnish some timely data on the rates that prevail:—It always has been our policy, as well as that of other dealers in this city, to charge for cartage. Since we have been operating motor trucks, we have endeavored to make a charge that would make the delivery self supporting, but not with the idea of realizing any profit therefrom. Since we have used the accompanying schedule, our truck equipment has broken a little better than even, with prior to the adoption of this schedule it always showed a deficit. The greatest cost in delivering a load of material is in the first mile because the heaviest part of the ‘expense is in the cost of loading and getting on the job and unload- ing and getting under way again. T hat is why our schedule is so much heavier proportionately for city than for country delivery.

The course is issued in sixteen letters in loose leaf form. The first two letters explain thoroughly, with the help of illustrations, the structure of timber and the defects and physical properties of lumber. The next three chapters on Projections and Plan Reading are inter- ng to the retail lumber dealer who is endeavoring to acquire a tical knowledge of building, as well as the merchandising of ing materials. These letters explain the fundamentals of scale ng; the theory of projections and describe the common forms of building construction. Following the chapters on plan reading are two comprehensive letters on Construction Details, Specifications and Types of Con- struction, which set forth the building details of different parts of a lilding. These chapters are practical and to the point, and time nt on them will well repay the retail merchant. Accompanying ch letter in the series are pen drawings of the different subjects in ind which help the reader to assimilate the information contained Se St Valuable Information on L CANADA LUMBERMAN et a ae or 43 charge 75 cents for a single horse load and $1.50 for a two-horse load, delivered anywhere in the city. For delivering to the suburbs, we charge $1 and $2. _ The single cartage applies if the customer wants two or three pieces. We think that by having this charge, we get away from at least 40 to 50 per cent of the deliveries we would otherwise have to make, as a great many people buying small amounts pick the material up in their cars, while others sometimes even have their children come with carts and get it. They figure that by so doing they save the 75 cents charge, and we of course are always glad to have them take it away fram the yard. Definite Haulage Charge per Mile In Reading, Pa., which is a city of about 100,000 people, one representative concern which goes very thoughtfully into the ques- tion, gives the appended data :— For quite a number of years we had a hauling charge in effect in Reading and vicinity, covering the delivery of lumber. This charge was put into practice to eliminate the necessity of delivering a piece of lumber into a distant section of the city, when very often it could have been carried, or arrangements could have been made to order it in time so that it could have been included with a load going to that vicinity. This hauling charge has been only 25 cents a load, whether for a single piece or a wagon load, and it covers any delivery made within the city limits. For delivery beyond the city limits we charge 50 for three miles and $1 for five miles. Beyond five miles we base our hauling charge on so much an hour for each truck whether it is a 1-ton, 2-ton or 3-ton unit. We make allowances for the time and the charge that would be made for the first five miles, namely, $1, and then charge on a per hour basis in accordance with the accompanying schedule. Making a hauling charge for anything beyond a reasonable distance from the city enables us to make our prices for material the same to everyone, and besides eliminates the trouble that we encounter so often where people bought lumber ee us and it cost us more to deliver the material than we received Oimait Our hauling charge experience has been very satisfactory, and we would not think of deviating from it; in fact, we would rather lose an order, in practically every instance, than to make any allow- ance. Our schedule is as follows: Miles 3-Ton trucks 2-Ton Trucks 1-Ton Trucks 6 $ 3.75 : $ 2.50 $1.25 Y 5.00 2.75 1.50 8 6.00 3.50 2.00 9 7.25 4.00 2.25 10 8.50 4.50 2.50 11 9.50 5.25 3.00 12 10.75 6.00 3.25 13 12.00 6.50 3.50 14 13.00 7.25 4.00 15 14.25 7.75 4.25 16 15.50 ~ 8.50 4.50 17 16.50 9.00 5.00 18 17.75 9.75 5.25 19 19.00 10.25 5.50 20 20.00 11.00 6.00 21 21.25 11.50 6.25 22 22.50 12.25 6.50 23 23.50 12.75 7.00 24 24.75 13.50 7.25 2 26.00 14.25 7.50 umber and Construction — The eighth letter is devoted to Estimating and Rules for Taking off Quantities. It explains correct and quick methods of estimating lumber, millwork and other material going into construction of ‘aca building. Letter nine describes good and bad designs in planning a building and gives the fundamentals of good house planning. u The remaining letters are devoted to the Figuring of Stresses — and Sizes, Preservation of Lumber, Shingles, Merchandising and a chapter on Heavy Construction Timber. The course is being widely taken advantage of in the United States and is available to any retail lumberman who is anxious to extend his knowledge of lumber and the allied building industry. .

Barker, who was lately ap- pointed secretary of the Mon- treal Wholesale Lumber Deal- ers’ Association and has entered upon his new duties, succeeding F. H. Devenish, who recently resigned, is well versed in the forest products industry. Mr. Barker was educated at Fresh- field College, near Liverpool, England, being sent there at the age of eight, as was often done in those days, along with his two older brothers. When twelve years old he was forced to com- mence a commercial career and afterwards got a step on the foot of the ladder in the office of a ship broker in Liverpool and at twenty--one was manager with a staff of six under him. This brought him in touch with Can- adian lumber shippers and in 1894 he came to Canada as man- office in Montreal where he re- S. Barker, Montreal ager for Robert Cox & Company’s mained until 1906 when he went to the Pacific Coast and was en- gaged in the lumber trade there. Later Mr. Barker returned to the East and became connected with the Swedish-Canadian Lumber Co. in New Brunswick. Subsequently he returned to Montreal and en- gaged for the same firm in the steamship business as manager for Thomas Harling & Son. In 1920 he was manager and vice-president of the Standard Export Lumber Co., doing a large business in South America. Mr. Barker is well qualified to represent the lumber in- terests in his new capacity and his knowledge should enable him to do justice to the position that he now occupies and render efficient service. First Official Trip to Georgian Bay Mills Forty three years ago last month the “ Canada Lumberman” made its first official trip of inspection to several of the mill opera- tions on the Georgian Bay. This report is an interesting one and mentions many operations and landmarks which have passed out of existence with the succeeding years and the diminishing supply of taw material. Many older readers will recognize the referred to in the following paragraphs which recall familiar scenes and activities, in and around the bay, of over half a century ago. The report was written in Toronto on October 24th in 1880 appear- ing in the October 30th edition of the “Canada Lumberman” of that year. It is here reproduced: __ .We intended last week visiting the saw mill at Midland and vicinity before they closed down for the season, but found that time did not permit the trip tobe extended farther than the Waubau- chene and Severn mills. The latter mills closed on Thursday, the 21st inst to allow the men to go to camp for winter operations. The past season’s work at the Severn mills has been satisfactory. There is yet on hand in the mill yard about six million feet of lumber. Prob- ably about three million feet of this will ‘be transferred to Waubau- shene docks before the close of navigation. The Waubaushene mills were in full operation, and likely to continue at work for two weeks yet or longer, as a further supply of logs is expected. __The mills are situated at the mouth of Matchedash Bay, on the Midland Railway, which has six tracks running through the mill yard, and a leading track extending along the dock, where barges unload lumber intended to be conveyed by railway from the Severn mills about four miles distant. This extensive and complete establish- ment, which gives employment to over 150 men, during the summer season, 1s a pattern of neatness and convenience. A church and school house have been erected by the ‘Company (Hon. W. Hodge & Co., New York) for the accommodation of the workmen. cl anibark accommodation is provided by the Company at the Severn mills which also gives employment to over one hundred and fifty men. The company have also erected a large building with twenty six rooms, for the use of parties having business to transact at the mills, as well as for transient travellers. This is named “The Dunkin House” which, as its name indicates, is a temperance hotel. The temperance principle extends over the whole company’s works, it being a stipu- lation with employees when engaged, that they shall abstain from intoxicating drinks while in the company’s service. The present Yandlord of “The Dunkin House” is Mr. Perkins, measurer and cul- ler. He keeps an excellent house, at the ordinary charge of $1,00 per day, incidents and persons Pe TR LIN, (pk CRESS Ui eae It may be noticed here that the Waubaushene establishme headquarters of several extensive saw mills on the East coast of t Georgian Bay, incorporated about ten years ago at the instance « the Hon Mr. Hodge of New York, and others, under the names the Collingwood Lumber ‘Co, (at present under the management of Mr. D.

The manager’s residence—a handsome mansion—is ‘b on a rising ground, a short distance south, commanding a compl view of the bay and mills. The office and general store are near ' the mills, and together with the workmen’s residences, make qui village. Every branch of the work is thoroughly systematized, that if a sale of lumber is made, the manager can tell, from t reports sent in to him, where a certain pile stands, its quality, without leaving his office. Yo give some idea of the extent of business done at this place, it may be stated that one day late there were one hundred and six cars of lumber and square timber the yard consigned to points over the Midland Railway principally for eastern markets. , j = Wages during the summer range from $25 to $35 per month— paid, the workmen say ‘promptly and regularly. In the woods at present, wages range from $15 to 18, so that the rate during winter, with beard is equal to the summer rate, without ‘board. Towards Midland, along the railway, are Tanner’s mills and Christie’s mil. each of a capacity of turning’out 25,000 to 30,000 feet per day, and Power mills,—Capacity 75,000 feet per day. On the Midland, Railway, toward Orillia, is Mr. Ross’s mill at Fesserton about two miles east of Waubaushene. This mill has a capacity of about 25,000 feet per day. At Coldwater is the shingle mill of Mr. Lovering, and that of Messrs. Hall & Co. = New Policy for Workmen’s Compensation r Announcement of a new policy which is to direct the Workmen’s Compensation Board was made recently at the Parliament Buildings by Hon. Dr. Forbes Godfrey, Minister of Labor and Health in the Ferguson Government. The changes planned amount to no less than directing the efforts of the Board into new channels and giving it a new significance to the workingmen in whose interests it oper- ates. Where the Board has during the past few years been, as its name implies, an agency seeking to balance cash payments against loss of human efficiency, it is to become during Hon. Dr. Godfrey’s regime rather a board of rehabilitation, seeking to restore the man ~ who comes under its care to physical fitness. ws is ' During the last session of the Ontario Legislature the Compen- sation Board was the subject of criticism that was almost bitter by members of the House. It was alleged that it was not functioning in the interests of the workmen, but that it was taking the stand, rather, that its duy was to stand ‘between the workmen and their pos- sible inroads upon the Provincial Treasury. The debate upon the subject broke out intermittently while the Legislature sat, and a phase of it which frequently inspired members of the chamber to caustic comment was the fact that Hon. Walter Rollo, then Minister of Labor, failed to defend the body for the policy of which he w: responsible. : oa Hon. Dr. Godfrey is taking the stand that the Compensation Board should not be a merely formal body which settles, after a man- ner akin to arbitration, the lump sum which shall be paid to a wo man who has been injured. His view instead is that it should - distinctly humanizing agency, interested in each individual which comes before it-and seeking to give each case the partic treatment which it requires. ee He does not favor the lump sum basis of settlement, because of the fact that experience has shown that when the injured man has exhausted the money thus paid him, he becomes a charge again upon the community. The Board should, he believes, study each man with whom it deals and take the steps necessary to secure for him the medical or surgical treatment which will fit him again to be self sustaining and a useful citizen. If the disability cannot be corrected, he believes that a pension lasting during the period of the victim’s lifetime should be granted, 3 , : ie | ) ao a eee ¥ W holesalers Consider Amendment to Special War Revenue Act of 1915 Sales tax of 6% on sales price of goods manufactured in Canada. ; Sales tax of 6% on duty paid value of imported goods.

There was a large attendance and practically no other business was taken up. An hour or two was spent in consideration of the many points covered in the new revenue act and the opinion was generally expressed that several regulations were neither understandable nor workable. Some even voiced a doubt as to whether the act would be enforced owing to its complications, overlapping and ambiguities. It was pointed out by A. C. Manbert, A. E. Eckardt, A. E. Clark, J. L. Campbell and others that, while the sales tax itself could not "be changed except by act of Parliament, there might be some modi- _ fication in the regulations regarding its application and interpreta- tion in order to make the measure more simple and practicable. At _ present, owing to the complex character of the lumber business and its various sources of distribution, some of the product being further a ‘manufactured into a finished article and other portions being left _ unchanged, the opinion was expressed that the new piece of legisla- _ tion would be anything but satisfactory and equitable. Mr. Man- bert said that, as the lumbermen looked into the application of the F ‘new federal sales tax, the fears, which they held earlier in regard to it, were in no wise lessened as far as the interpretation of the various points were concerned. ‘T‘hese were not easy to explain unless the Dichers were good at solving puzzles. The secretary of the Asso- ciation had prepared an able resume of the act together with certain _ explanations but many things still remained in doubt. _ There was no doubt that the measure would go into effect at _ the first of the year and anything, that could be done to ameliorate _ some of the difficulties should be brought to the attention of the proper parties. The act could not be changed in its principle or its prescription. It was not likely that the federal authorities would _ withhold enforcement of the different phases of the measure and eee would all simply- have to wait and see what eventuated. : A. E. Clark explained that a recent meeting of the Canadian _ Lumbermen’s Association executive had been held in Montreal when the new federal sales tax and proposed regulations came up for _ consideration. ‘ John Bain, of Ottawa, an expert on tariffs and excises, had been called into consulation and even the admitted that certain phases _ Were not clear to him. A committee of five representative lumber- men had been appointed to confer with Mr. Bain in order to place the objections of the industry in concrete form and ‘suggest certain amendments regarding the operation of the act. Mr. Clark did not ee how the present measure could be applied. Sorhe improvement ras needed as the project was open to ambiguities. It was also full f incongruities and was too technical for the average man to under- d. Mr. Bain had explained that the old act had been repealed the new act would come into effect in January next. The Gov- n ment expected to raise an annual revenue of $140,000,000 through 1ew sales lax and it was not likely that its operation would be ate a e iy an a yr ete or < CANADA LUMBERMAN 45 Aspects of Sales Tax Effort Being Made to Clear Up Some Complexities in Reference to the Application of Measure—Difficulties in Interpreting Its Provisions licensed manufacturer of goods to be used in pro- duction and subject to the tax.

Any suggestions that the lumbermen had should be sent to Mr. Bain, who was preparing a brief to go before the Goy- ernment in order to have some of the difficulties of the situation removed. Mr. Eckardt read a digest of the proposed measure and explained the difficulties in obtaining refunds where an unlicensed wholesaler sells to a licensed manufacturer and the probability that a double tax might be collected on the product if refunds could not be obtained without going through a long rigmarole. In the course of the discussion it was explained that an un- licensed wholesaler was one who did not make fifty per cent of his annual sales to a licensed manufacturer and some doubt was | expressed as to how many wholesalers disposed of fifty per cent of | their output to licensed manufacturers. An unlicensed manufac-_ turer, it was stated, was one who does not manufacture or produce — goods to the value of $10,000 or more during any fiscal year. J .L. Campbell, who is a member of the “committee on Dominion and Foreign relations of the Board of Trade, said he had attended a meeting of that body at which various representatives of different — industries had been present. After a two-hour discussion in seeking — to clear up the mysteries of the act and ascertain what it really 4 meant, it was a case of “confusion worse confounded.” He advised — each member to consider the act as it applied particularly to his own © business and never mind the other fellow. One member stated that at a recent gathering a remark had been made that ninety- -five per cent of the mill men in the East turning out white pine doubted if they could get a license as they could not declare*that fifty per cent or more of their product was sold to be © manufactured. It must also be remembered that the tax must be collected on the cost price of the lumber and not at the price at_ which the product is subsequently sold. : Mr. Manbert instanced several cases of how involved and intri- — cate the new sales tax would be, and outlined some difficulties which — would be found in applying the measure, particularly where stock went through further processing so that its original identity was_ not maintained. Lumber did not travel through one regular channel — the same as leather and other materials which were easy to trace © back to their origin. Various instances were given by the speaker : of the different forms of sale which were common and inevitable in — trade practice. Mr. Manbert pointed out the fact that every board had an individuality and, as it passed from hands to hands, changed form or shape. The objection of the trade was that the lumber business rests on fundamentals which could not be adjusted to the — new proposals of the sales tax. At the close, on motion of R. S. Plant and Hugh A. Rose, a_ hearty vote of thanks was tendered Messrs. Manbert, Eckardt and Clark for the explanation of the new sales tax, and a copy of the digest presented by Mr. Eckardt was also ordered to be placed in the hands of the members of the Association. 4 : CANADA LUMBERMAN TaN Big Logging Operations in Quebec The next winter’s cut of the Quebec forests is expected to be one of the largest in recent times. Over three thousand lumber camps are due tobe in operation, employing in the neighborhood of 25,000 men, according to Chief Forester Piche. He stated there was a scarcity of labor in some sections of the lumber district and that, consequently, higher wages were being offered as an inducement to go out into the woods for the winter. Regarding the situation in the forests of the province, Mr. Piche said that there had been a lot of fog, which combined with the dew, tended to keep the leaves and grass moist. The conditions at pre- sent were ideal, he added. The Department is keeping men engaged _ in patrolling the forests in certain sections of the province, mostly the western part, which is regarded as the most dangerous spot, and these men, in addition to patrolling the forests in their capacity of forest rangers, were also checking up on lumber operations and re- _ porting to the Department. : Asked regarding the possibility of any forest fires in other places spreading to the province of Quebec, Mr. Piche said that the only forest fire that had taken place recently was in Ontario, and that was a thousand miles from Montreal. Are Salvaging Damaged Timber According to information received by the Department of Lands and Forests of New Brunswick, the majority of those operators hold- ing leases on Crown Lands which had been damaged by fire or by budworm have commenced operations to salvage the damaged tim- ber. In only two cases was it reported to the Department that oper- ators were not in a position to cut this season. that as large a proportion as possible of the damaged timber will be removed during the logging season now opening. The receipts from _ stumpage are coming in steadily to the Provincial Treasury. Re- ports from the sections, which were burned over and afterward in- fested by borers, are to the effect that the progress of the worms in _ the timber is much faster than had been believed. On the Tabus- _ intac areas of the Snowball Co. particularly heavy damage is re- ported. The company will make an effort to salvage what is pos- sible, however. How Russell Bros. are Expanding | Russel Bros., manufacturers of head works, Fort Frances, Ont., have acquired the entire business of the Minneapolis Campbell Motor _ Works. The transaction includes the patent rights, drawings, mach- inery and tools of the company. Considerable new equipment has already been purchased and everything will be rushed to be in readi- _ mess to commence the manufacture of these well-known engines. _ Not only will Russel Bros. manufacture engines for their head works and power winches, but wil! also make delivery of these marine engines from’5 to 60 h.p. Russel Bros. have been successful in turning out gasoline power _ boats known as “alligators” and the sales during the past year greatly _ increased over that of any previous year. The outlook for 1924 pro- mises to treble that of this year. The Campbell motors have been in the market since 1902 and are among the foremost of marine en- . gines of their type. The engines will be built on the same line as that already followed by the Campbell Motor Co. with, possibly, a few minor alterations. Keen Competition for Timber Berths _ - ‘ ; . ; There was some competition in connection with the recent sale _ of timber berths at the Crown Land Office, Fredericton, N. B., three of the seven berths offered being purchased in advance of the upset __ price of $20 per square mile bid by the applicants. These were No’s. ~ 68 and 69, which were purchased by the Royal Bank of Canada at ‘$35 and $52 per square mile respectively. No. 68 is located on the north forks of Coal Branch river and contains two and one half Square miles, while No. 69 is located on Otter Brook, a branch of Sal- _ mon river, and contains eight and one half square miles. No. 72, ; south of the Dungarvon river, and containing two and one half Square miles, was purchased by the Fraser Companies, Ltd., at $20.50 _ per square mile. r The folowing berths were sold to the applicants in each case at the upset price of $20 per square mile: No. 66, head of Cumberland creek, containing two and a half square miles, to W.

The work is being done in Scotland by the commission’s own staff and local cor-_ respondents, and in England and Wales through voluntary consulta-_ tive committees with the assistance of the Inland Revenue Depart- ment. ; ‘ It has been said that the United Kingdom is the most poo wooded country in Europe, with the exception of Portugal. T census will settle the question; though it is feared that the statem will prove only too true, having regard to the depletion of woc during the war, when practically all the reserves of mature coniferc timber were felled. : ate The Forestry Commission is proceeding with its task of rep ing on the restricted scale rendered necessary by the position o: country’s finances. The Committee on National Expenditure re mended that the afforestation policy adopted by Parliament afte war, when the Forestry Commission was established, should be co pletely scrapped. That policy was to revive the almost exhaus timber resources of the country by growing trees on some of the lions of acres of waste land. The suggestion of the Committe National Expenditure was rejected by the Cabinet. It would entailed the waste of much useful work of reconstruction already — done. It would also have prolonged indefinitely the period | g which the country was left quite unprepared for the world timber famine, which is apprehended at no distant date, owing to the con- stantly increasing demand for timber and the working out of the virgin forests. Ce ae The Cabinet decided, however, that the provision for planting — for the next two years should be on a reduced scale, entailing a tem- porary departure from the original programme, though still admit- ting of the afforestation of ten thousand acres each year. a The principal scene of the commission’s operations so far is in — the Eastern Counties. Here over thirteen thousand acres of derelict land—once cultivated, now little more than a rabbit warren—have been planted, mostly with pines. *s How Lumber Distribution has Widened ~ 4 British Columbia has entered a new age in commerce, accord- ps ing to the figures which H. R. McMillan presents. A new day has — dawned such as pioneers of the lumber industry of this coast never — dreamed. “In 1911,” said Mr. McMillan, “we exported 47,000,000 — feet of Douglas fir from British Columbia. In 1922 we had jumped — to 285,000,000 feet.” : ‘ £ Yen, Ten years the destinations of British Columbia fir shipments — were as follows: Africa 14,000,000; Australia, 9,000,000; United — Kingdom, 7,000,000; Orient, 5,000,000; California, 1,000,000. Saf “That was the winding up of the old order of world business,” — said Mr. McMillan. “The Orient still slept; the Atlantic seaboard — was not taking a foot of our timber; we sent comparatively little to — Australia, and California took but a trifle. History has been made since those days; the map of the world has been changed and the — demands of the nations of the world developed for British Columbia — products. In 1922 the province exported to the Orient 105,000,000 — feet—this is 21 times our sales-thére in 1913. We were on the — Atlantic with water-borne shipments which ran last year into 69,000,000 feet.. In a space of a few years we have multiplied our - shipments to Australia by seven, and to California by twenty-two. — We have doubled up on our sales of timber to the Old Country. a “The world does not realize it yet, but the port of Vancouver — is cutting in on the immense trade which was formerly monopolized — by San Francisco. Ten years ago ships were not to be had by the © lumber trade of Vancouver. ‘There were but twelve deep-sea ship- — ping lines from British Columbia in 1913. ‘To-day we have forty- — four deep-sea lines, some with their head offices right here, with | plentiful tonnage at the disposal of British Columbia shippers, and — so our export trade in lumber has run up from 1,935,000,000 feet to — 3,055,000,000 feet, over a space of nine years.” a” Tempering the Teeth in the Saw | 3 Hardening of the teeth in the power saws used in lumber manu- — facture causes frequent delays in the operation of the mills, and the ~ novel electrical tempering of M. Geerlops, Dutch engineer, is claimed — to lessen the time of shut-down very materially. An-electrode being ~ applied to the teeth, a five-volt alternating current, varying from 175 — to 600 amperes, according to the size of the saw, is passed until the — steel becomes bright red. The electrode is then removed, and the © heat is withdrawn so rapidly through the body of the cold saw that — tempering is effected without further treatment. As many as 400 teeth an hour may be tempered, and the process is said to have given an increase of 20 per cent, in the output of a Dutch Indies. sawn : “dal SA Se ace oe * nit. ad - or + ; = sa eae aie & pag ee j a } 2 er : : hie ox ie Si - i, ak a ~ ee Ee EPS Ge Pe Ee oe Pe ere eS The monthly meeting of the Montreal Wholesale Lumber Deal- ers Association was held at the Mount Royal Hotel, Montreal, on Thursday evening October 18th. There was a large attendance over two thirds of the members being present thus making the largest number of any gathering of the Association. The Chair was taken by the President, J. S. Bock. ___- The importance of the meeting was emphasized by the difficulty “now being experienced between this Association and the Montreal Lumber Retailers Association, it having being alleged that the latter is attempting a boycott of some members of the Wholesale Association on account of alleged sales to consumers direct, though no proof to this effect has yet been put forth by the Retailers Association. This matter has been in the air for some little time but nevertheless up to _the present no agreement has been arrived at between the two associ- tions regarding what constitutes a wholesaler or retailer respec- tively, and it must be acknowledged that this is a somewhat diffh- cult point to decide. Some contend that if a man buys a carload he is a wholesale man, whilst, on the other hand, if it were a mixed carload that could not be considered a wholesale order. Furthermore, the difficulty appears to be to define what class of contractors the wholesalers shall _ sell to without infringing on the rights of the retailer. This is no easy _ matter to adjust and it will take some little time yet before a settle- _ ment of the question may be arrived at. While the Montreal Associ- - ation feel that they have already made earnest endeavours to reach an amicable settlement with the retailers it is felt that the retailers have not on their part made the same amount of effort to reach an adjustment. It is believed that it would be wise for the Retail _Association to consider carefully their position, as, should the Whole- sale Association as a body decline to sell to the members of the Re- tail Association the latter would ultimately find it to their disad- _ vantage. _ ~ In touching on this point wholesalers feel that they are treading _ on delicate ground but it cannot be denied that the retailers as a body “receive excellent terms of sale from the Members of the Wholesale Association and, should such a drastic step be taken as that the Wholesalers wete compelled to refuse business to the retailers, one is forced to believe that they would not receive such good terms and ‘perhaps not such good service from the mills as they do from the _ wholesalers in general. _ Every section of the lumber trade is more or less dependent ‘upon other sections and in order that a profitable business may be done matters must be made to run smoothly so as to give an equit- _ able return to each section of the trade. It is known only too well _ that the trade has sufficient difficulties to overcome at the present _ time without having further burdens thrust upon it and anything that _ may disturb the present methods will likely mean loss, and not gain, at the moment. _ Writing to the “Canada Lumberman” a Montreal lumberman says, “Looking at it from a strictly financial standpoint let us remem- ber that consumers look to retailers for credit, that the retailers look _to the wholesalers for credit, that the wholesalers look to the mills _for credit and that finally the mills are more or less dependent upon _ the banks for necessary extra credit. Now if this system of credit is to be disturbed at this juncture and the retailers are going to look direct to the mills for credit, we fear that it will not be very long before they must come to the decision that they have made a mis- take, as the mills must of necessity have their drafts promptly met and cannot give an extension of time, inasmuch as they have had to Carry the burden for months from the time that they have started to tog, and from start to finish it is pretty nearly nine months or more fore they get their return. : “Should such a thing happen as the withdrawal of the whole- s from selling to retailers it virtually means a financial “strike” [the trade. We have never yet known where a strike meant any- ut a los all round, and are disposed to believe that the chief srers will be the retail men. However, whilst the matter has _a somewhat acute step with the wholesalers in Montreal and is apt to run high, there is yet time to come to a sound and ole agreement between the two associations and we trust that be done during the next month, oe all CANADA LUMBERMAN 47 Montreal Lumbermen Consider Trade Query Lively Discussion on Who is a Wholesaler and Who is a Retailer—- Every Effort Made to Arrive at Definite Understanding “We understand that the Montreal Retail Association is in- fluenced by methods in vogue by the various retail associations in the United States. While these methods may be desirable and well .understood by the trade on the other side of the border, we think the time inopportune to attempt to put such methods in effect in Can- ada, where mills are much further away from consuming centers, and we cannot pretend to be in quite the flourishing condition that our neighbours across the border enjoy at this moment. It is all very well to shout that our time is coming but for the time being we are hard at work in the woods and will have to do a little more cutting and a little more sawing before we spend too much time looking at the other fellow across the line. This may not be reading of a poeti- cal character but perhaps it will be wholesome.” . Galt Firm Resumes After Big Fire The premises of P. W. Gardiner & Son, Limited, Harris St., Galt, Ont., were visited by fire on October 14th. The flames broke out in a private garage on property located south of the plant. The blaze quickly spread to the lumber sheds of Gardiner & Son and assumed tremendous proportions igniting the warehouse and threatening the entire plant.. Fortunately, however, the fire-wall between the main factory and the warehouse stayed the progress of the devouring element and enabled the brigade to bring the conflagration under control. The fire was not finally extinguished until about twelve hours after its first outbreak and continuous streams of water were played upon the ruins and burning piles of lumber for a whole day and night. P. W. Gardiner & Son resumed operations a day or two after the blaze, being handicapped only by shortage of lumber require- ments and warehouse facilities. The rebuilding of the destroyed portions will be started at the earliest possible moment. The big warehouse which was wiped out, contained a huge quantity of doors, sash and columns. The loss is estimated at between $200,000 and $250,000 and is covered by insurance. Reforestry Will Never Overtake Fire Loss Those who believe that the timber supply of Canada will be re- plenished by the planting of trees artificially will be surprised to learn from figures just issued by the Canadian Forestry Association that during the past five years Canadian citizens, through their own recklessness, have destroyed over 3,600,000 acres of merchantable timber growing on public owned land, while in the whole Dominion only 6,000 acres have yet been planted artificially in forest trees. No figures could more graphically indicate the hopelessness of catching up with the forest fire loss in the Dominion by any programme of reforestation. As if the Canadian people were not content to wipe out more than three million acres of merchantable timber by human- set fires, an additional four million acres of young growth was also put out of existence by fire in the same period. The replanting of timber trees, however, bids fair to show a higher ratio to forest fire losses in the future, particularly if these fire losses can be held to their present proportions. The province of Ontario has now in its provincial nurseries twenty million seed- lings to be.utilized for reforesting 10,000 acres of waste land in Old Ontario each year for at least six years. The forest nursery estab- lished by the province of Quebec at Berthierville has distributed four million seedlings for private planting and has reclaimed more than three hundred acres of shifting sand by the use of trees from the nursery. This is but the beginning of the Quebec Forest Service programme of reforesting as much as possible of the three million acres of waste land in the province. Quebec also has under consid- eration the establishment of communal forests. The private companies have also been active in replanting tree- less areas, the Laurentide Company of Grand Mere having, at the present time, more than fifteen million seedlings and transplants in its nurseries, with 2,500 acres already set out in spruce plantations. The Riordon Company has reforested about 300 acres and the Abitibi and Spanish River Companies have established forest nurseries and are initiating reforestation programmes, a ng yt eS ak oe Oke ces le a ie a enn, die 48 CANADA LUMBERMAN OSS ae eae Lumber Salesman Who Covers Much Ground With a territory extending all the way from Halifax, N.S., to Windsor, Ont., Thomas.H. King, eastern Canadian representative of the A. W. Burritt Co., Bridgeport, Conn., is kept constantly on the move. He manages to cover this ground about every six weeks and his home, which is at 17 Henry St., Moncton, N.B., does not see him except at long intervals. Mr. King has been in the lumber business all his life. His father, G. L. King, ran a sawmill for years at River Philip, N.S., until he disposed of his interests some time ago to his son, J. Russell King. Thomas H. King worked in the bush, the sawmill, furniture factory and woodworking plants until he obtained an intimate acquaintance with all the details of the indus- try. He was for several years with Dunfield & Co., Halifax, as Thomas H. King, Moncton, N.B. inspector and later had charge of outside water shipments. After- wards he was manager of a large sorting and stop-off yard for the company at Moncton which was burned about a year ago. Early in 1923 Mr. King joined the A. W. Burritt Co. and has charge of their Eastern Canada interests in both buying and selling. The firm have branch offices in New York and Boston and have worked up a large connection in Canadian spruce, white pine and other woods. Mr. King, who calls upon the wholesale trade and the larger retail yards from the Atlantic east to the great lakes, has many friends in the trade and was a guest recently at the annual picnic of , the Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association, Toronto. Breezy Happenings in Lumber Arena George Byers, of Chase, B.C., a well-known lumberman, was a recent visitor to several points of Ontario and the East. George M. Madden, head of the Apex Lumber Co., Limited, Vancouver, B.C., spent a few days in Toronto calling upon the trade. A. K. Leitch, late of the East Kootenay Lumber Co., of Jaffray, B.

The Lockart, Westcott Lumber Co., of Winnipeg, has dissolved partnership and Mr. Westcott has accepted a position with the Mc- Donald Lumber Co., of Winnipeg. Supplementary letters patent have been issued authorizing an increase of the capital stock of the Searchmont Lumber Co., Search- mont, Ont., from the sum of $250,000 to $500,000. Murray & Gregory’s mill at St. John, N. B., has closed for the season owing to lack of logs. Last winter’s heavy snows made it impossible to get out the usual supply and as a result the mill has to shut down earlier than usual. J. J. O’Grady, of Ottawa, J. S. Granner, of Outremont, Quebec, and C. R. Hawkins, of Fredericton, are the incorporators of Federal _ Lumber Company Limited, which will have headquarters in Freder- icton, N. B.

Re oom A Montreal paper recently printed a statement treat ‘Ottawag under date of October 13th that $104.00 per month, and board, is be- ing offered in the Gatineau Valley. This is a little hard to believ a says the Montreal correspondent of the “Canada Lumberman.” T! e numerous agencies along the well-known labor bureaus on St, An- toine St. give no such indication as this price for labor, which remains at $50 to $60 per month for Ontario and Quebec. Of course as logging season gets closer, it may be that higher prices will have be offered as it is quite certain that Quebec province in particula: has been heavily drained during the past three of four months men for the Maine woods. One firm alone applied to Washing D.C., headquarters for permission for 1000 men to enter the Maine woods and another firm for 500 men and both secured permits. These two items alone represent a heavy drain on Canadian labor and hay- ing once got down there, it is certain a good proportion of the men will stay. It would seem that this is a me tien for fee Labor De aa partment at Ottawa to look Ree saat is ‘ et. eee ——-: ee a It is important to know costs and to have a reliable, workable and simple system which will tell the retailer what he wants to know at any time and whether he is making money and in what way. ' Correct cost in business is what is wanted, whether the business _be large or small. _ For some time a committee of the Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ _ Association has been making inquiries relating to a uniform cost accounting system which will embrace both yard and factory. After the general principles are agreed upon, it is likely that an expert accountant will be engaged to complete it so that members can avail _ themselves of the proposition. It is a well-known fact that to-day business is an exact science and growing more and more so. All guesswork has to be eliminated and estimating must be carried out on a definite, fixed basis. Any set of ledgers will tell a lumber merchant whether he is making or losing money but will not give him specific information regarding _ where he has made money or lost it and when. This is the kind of _ data that the yardmen desire so that they will know where they are at in every detail of manufacturing as well as work, material, time, turnover, etc. | At the seventh annual meeting of the National Retail Lumber _ Dealers’ Association which was ‘held recently in Louisville, Ky., _ President Shirton and Secretary Boultbee, of the Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association, attended. They were much interested in cost accounting and, as a result, some new information was _ gleaned with reference to the progress made in this direction. On returning from the convention the secretary of the O.R.L.D.A. stated while the Ontario Association had been talking over the cost account- ing problem for a long time and seeking to find out how it could be handled from an association point of view, the same difficulty had _ been occupying the minds of retail lumber dealers in several of the State associations across the line. Finally, two of the associations in the United States, proceeding independently of one another, - evolved cost accounting systems of their own, which were adopted and put into operation by many of their members. These were the _ two associations of New York State (now the Northeastern Associa- tion) and of Ohio. A testimony to the correctness of these two systems is the fact that, although they were worked out quite inde- _ pendently, they are, in regard to their essential points, very largely similar. The success of these two State association cost accounting systems naturally led many members of the National Association to believe it possible to adopt one or the other of them, or a combina- _ tion of both, for use in all parts of the United States. Some two years ago, the National Association submitted the subject to a special committee. s This committee found it a comparatively simple matter to co- _ ordinate the two systems and evolve from them a system which would meet, not only with the approval of the Northeastern and Ohio Associations, but the approval also of the other associations that are represented in the National. Such a system was submitted _ to the National Association a year ago at its annual convention in Cleveland and was then adopted as the National System. Work of Installing System _.- During the past year, arrangements have been completed and _ put into effect, with expert certified accountants to install the system in the offices of those members who wish to adopt it. A large _ number have already put it in and, without exception, the results _ have been completely satisfactory. The accounting firms charged th the duty of installing the system consist of men of practical rience both in accounting and in the special problems of the tail lumber dealer. There is nothing haphazard about the way in ich the work is being carried out. These men know in advance ‘to handle every peculiar problem that will confront them in individual yard or mill. They have given satisfaction to each ler for whom they have carried out the work and they have shown z e retailers that the scruples and fears they formerly entertained out a standard system of cost accounting were without foundation. _ Undoubtedly the results already obtained by the National As- sociation in connection with cost accounting were the most interest- d important feature of the seventh annual convention at Louis- trom the point of view of the Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ my ls or Ad * a ee 4 CANADA LUMBERMAN 49 Progress Made on Cost Accounting System New Plan Evolved Which May be Installed at Comparatively Low Cost and Will be Applicable to Both Yard and Factory—Merits of the Method Association. President Shirton and the Secretary of the O.R.L.D.A. were fortunate enough during the convention to have a private con- ference with Mr. E. F. Hunt, Secretary of the Eastern Millwork Bureau of New York, who is in charge of the installation of the system for the Northeastern Association of Retail Lumber Dealers. Mr. Hunt clearly showed that the system is amply capable of taking care of the accounting requirements of any member of theO.R.L.D.A., however small or large his business may be. The system has three outstanding characteristics. In the first place, it recommends itself because of its simplicity. To install it, does not require any extensive scrapping of methods already used in a dealer’s office. Some comparatively slight alterations may be required here and there, and some slight additions. The big point about the whole thing is that it furnishes, by means of the methods already in use and by perhaps a few additional controlling and analyzing statements, complete information on every point that is essential. additionally burdensome. In the second place, the system is characterized by extreme flexibility. It is based upon thoroughly scientific principles of cost accounting. It naturally follows from this that it lends itself to in- stallation under any variety of conditions. It does not matter whether the individual yard or mill has problems of its own which do not occur anywhere else. all easily and completely. Outstanding Features of System Finally, and most important of all, the system gives “all the in- formation.” It is thoroughly comprehensive. Once it has been in- stalled and is running smoothly, the bookkeeper knows, and can furnish to the manager at a moment’s notice, all the essential facts connected with the cost accounting of the business. It has been the experience of many of those who have installed the system that at first the bookkeepers have objected but, within a few months, they have been enthusiastic supporters. It does not make the bookkeeping either complicated or The system can take care of them | They have found in every case © that the anxieties and the uncertainties prevailing under the old — method of cost accounting have disappeared, giving place to accur- — ate knowledge of all details.

Once it has been com- pleted, there is very little further expense over and above that of ordinary cost accounting. It is now understood that President Shirton, of the O.R.L.D.A., The cost of making the installation — Pr. was so much taken up with the new cost accounting system that he © has decided to make use of it in his own office. Cost accounting will — be one of the live topics discussed at the forthcoming annual conven- — tion of the Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers’ Association which will — be held at the King Edward Hotel, Toronto, on January 15, 16 and 17, when it is expected that a definite report from the Cost Com- mittee, of which George S. Zimmerman, of Tavistock, is the chair- | man, will be presented. Mr. Zimmerman recently had a conference © in New York with Mr. E. S. Hunt, secretary of the Eastern Millwork Bureau, for the purpose of learning the details.of the system as out-_ lined to the president and secretary of the O.R.L.D.A. at the late © Louisville gathering. The President and Secretary of the Ontario Retail Lumber Deal- ; ers’ Association while away also looked into the house plan service © for the coming year, and enquired what developments had been made for 1924 so that more effective arrangements might be given. It was stated by those associated with the plan service that the staff had now been organized and developed to a point where it would be possible to provide more efficient and satisfactory results. This matter will be more fully dealt with at the next meeting of the O.R.L.D.A, in Toronto, John Bradley, of Hamilton Has Been Fifty-seven Years in Forest Products Industry “T remember seetng the first edition of the “Canada Lumber- man” forty-three years ago and I have taken and read the paper ever since and watched its ex- pansion with a great deal of in- terest.’’ So spoke Mr. John Brad- ley, of the Bradley Co., 36 James St. S., Hamilton, Ont., who has been in the lumber business since 1866 and is still going strong. He and his fellow-towns- man, William Laking, are of the same age, each being born in 1845 and following the lumber business all their lives. Mr. Bradley is enjoying good health and has been engaged in the ex- port trade in forest products for nearly half a century. A pioneer 6h in the lumber line,he has seen : several generations of lumber- John Bradley, Hamilton, Ont. men come and go and many changes take place in methods of manufacture and distribution, as well as efficiency and economy of operation. He was born in Plantagenet, Ont., in the historic county of Pres- cott, and in his youth secured a position with Wilson Bros., lumber- _men, of Ottawa, who carried on extensive operations and bought considerable white pine in Western Ontario. Mr. Bradley was en- gaged in the office of the firm with whom he spent ten years and made frequent trips to the mills and limits in Wentworth and other counties. There he met the late John Ira Flatt, who did considerable _ jobbing in the logging line and became a warm friend of Mr. Brad- ley. Wilson Bros. retired from business and sold out their interests to Mr. Bradley. He came West again in the early 70’s and acciden- tally encountered Mr. Flatt in Hamilton and made a proposition that the two should go in partnership. Mr. Flatt, who was quite taken by surprise, agreed to the proposition and for eighteen years their combined business interests continued. There was never. a scratch of the pen between them and their relationship was always of a most cordial character. After Mr. Flatt left the firm to become associated _ with his sons in their lumber activities in Michigan and elsewhere, _ the close friendship of Mr. Bradley and his former partner continued up to the death of the latter several years ago . Mr. Flatt was a member for Wentworth in the local Legislature for one term and was a distinctive and outspoken character. He _ generally got what he went after and on the platform he hit straight and landed in lively style. He was successful in having the last toll ‘ 2 _ gate in Wentworth county abolished, and through his instrumental- ity a bill was introduced and passed wiping out tolls on all the _ highways in the province. Sir Oliver Mowat at that time was dis- _ inclined to grant Mr. Flatt’s request but the latter told him that he _ would promptly resign, and this brought the little Scotch premier to bay. Mr. Flatt had a number of sayings which stuck. He said the opponents of Mr. Mowat had accused him of extravagance but he wished to say that the First Prime Minister of the province was not guilty of any such fault. “In fact,” declared the irrepressible mem- ber for Wentworth, “I have known him for some years and he’s tighter than the bark on a tree.” Operated Big Mill in the East Flatt & Bradley in the late 70’s acquired 5000 acres of timber } ay | -/there. The deal involved $100,000 in cash and the money was promptly paid. The firm operated the plant for ten years but times were dull, lumber was not in active demand and they lost consider- able cash in the venture. The mill was one of the largest in Eastern | Ontario and turned out about 75,000 feet a day, principally of white | ping, with a small proportion of hemlock and hardwoods. In 1887 the property was sold to the Casselman Lumber Co. and Messrs. | Flatt & Bradley continued in the export lumber line.

Considerable America is also handled by the Bradley Co. for export. «ea ge Mr. Bradley recalls interesting associations with a number of Canadian firms and well remembers when Edward Clark & Sons first. started in business in Hamilton in a small way. He had the pleas- ure of selling the late Mr. Clark his first carload of basswood. Mr. Bradley has seen many changes in the trade and there are few living to-day who were engaged in it when he first launched out in ante-Confederation days. Lumber was then a decidedly cheap commodity, supplies were plentiful and mills dotted all parts of the — land, Wentworth County posesssing a large number. ‘To-day the search for hardwood is something of a problem, and in order to secure sufficient supplies of rock elm and maple for export, Mr, Bradley has — several men who are out scouting all the time and making purchases” from farmers, small sawmill men-and others. He uses the farm papers to a considerable extent to announce what kind of timber he is © in the market for, and buys up the total output of several small plants and all the logs that are taken out by farmers. oe sai The Bradley Co. has established a wide connection in the hard- wood lumber and log export line and Mr. Bradley loves to recall — former days and recount reminiscences of the men who were active 4 one-third of a century or more ago in felling the trees of the forest and clearing the timber from the central portions of Ontario, thus — making way for the smiling farm lands which to-day dot both sides _ of the highways in all parts of Ontario. . —————— ly ; Subsidies to Encourage Forest Control The Canadian Government has under consideration the recom-— mendations made by the British Empire Forestry Conference that the use of airplanes in forest protection work should be encouraged | by the granting of subsidies. Hon. E. M. MacDonald, minister of — national defence, stated lately that on the return of Major-General — J. H. MacBrien, chief of the general staff, from attending the Im-_ perial Conference, the whole question would be entered into. y Forestry protection, however, explained Mr. MacDonald, was a question for the provincial governments, as, excepting for the North- west Territories, the forests were under provincial control. The — federal government’s policy at present was against granting sub-— sidies for assisting provincial work, but he had no doubt that some — assistance could be given along other lines. > ces: Ga At present, he explained, the Canadian Government was assist- ing in Forestry patrol work by lending airplanes to the provincial — governments and training airmen for this work in its military schools. Safety League Organized in Quebec ery A representative gathering took place at the Windsor Hotel, Montreal, on Wednesday, October 17th, for the purpose of organiz- ing a Safety League in the province of Quebec. The chair was occupied by Sir John Gibson, former Lieutenant-Governor of Ont- ario, who in opening the proceedings, said that whilst Safety Leagues — were not subjected to much criticism, the main difficulty was to arouse people to action against the perils of modern means of quick — transportation which had apparently developed more rapidly than — the mind of the general public—more especially in the larger cities — like Montreal. After other speeches, the league was definitely formed for the Province of Quebec. 7 eae = ac ll | A 2 4 5 ee ey om ty a 2 meet Ook ial Oana ee ee ages eR radi : CANADA Giada Jumberma Sounded 1880 The National Lumber Journal for Forty Years Issued on the Ist and 15th of every month by THOS.

Varying opinions are offered with respect to what will be the outcome during this fall and winter and how conditions will shape up for next year. In times like the present when there is a certain amount of diffidence and hesitancy every man becomes a law unto himself and starts prophesying the way that he thinks or would like things to go. Frequently the wish is the father of the thought and there is no solid basis for his argument or judgment. There are, of course, certain features in the trade to-day which are difficult to explain but the best evidence that the lumber market is not sagging, so far as general business or quotations are concerned, is that the big operators are all preparing to go into the. bush on a larger scale than ever and will take out more than the normal cut of logs at a higher cost of production than in 1922-23. City trade during the past few months has been good. _Build- _ ing activities have proceeded on a large scale but in the smaller towns and rural sections there has not been much stir. Only a limited ‘number of new dwellings have been erected and some necessary /re- pairs and renovations carried out. It is not believed either that retail dealers in building material will see much of a revival this fall. The autumn months are never the best for large construction work on farms. By the time harvest and ‘threshing and fall plowing are disposed of, the farmer cannot commence the building of a barn or a home. He can do some repair work and can build some of the small structures required on the arm. This kind of work is being done and there will be more of it before the snow flies. But the larger jobs will be delayed until “spring. Because of this condition, retailers will not buy heavily this fall. They are taking only what they must have to care for current demands, and are sending in frequent repeat orders rather than large in lividual orders. It is the country trade that has lagged. Most rural districts are v sway behind on their normal building programs, but will start catch- ing up as soon as sentiment and actual conditions in the rural areas commence to change. By spring they ought to be well on their way. City and country yards have been carrying as little stock this year they could carry and take care of current business. The improve- nt in building conditions that should come next spring will send alers into the market then, if they do not realize the need and place-their business during the winter. While it is impossible to foretell the price situation as it will be everything now points to a strong market even though yard LUMBERMAN 51 buying may continue light during the remainder of the fall and dur- ing the coming winter. There is no burden of surplus stock at the mills of any producing section. At most of them the situation is just the reverse. Stocks are badly assorted and low in amount. The worst of the whole situation has evidently passed. From now on there should be a steady upward movement. How Retailer Can Stimulate Trade There are many seasons of the year when the retail lumberman can do much to stimulate local trade if he is active and aggres- sive and looks around in the hope of seeing what may be done to cater to the immediate wants of his fellow-townsmen. Winter is coming on rapidly and yet few newspapers contain advertisements relating to retail lumbermen being able to supply storm sash and doors which, in these days of the ascending price. and scarcity of coal, should be welcome contributions to the equip- ment of any domicile. Comparatively few houses are fitted with storm windows or doors which, if properly installed, it has been estimated will save about one-third of the coal bill of the average home. The retail dealer should get some bright, attractive advertising in the local paper and also issue illustrated leaflets or mail a person- ally directed letter stating that, he has a good stock of such doors and windows on hand and is able to supply them at the shortest notice. He might emphasize that the time to have such work done is now when it can be attended to more efficiently and with less rush and delay than later on. A good selling talk can be incorporated in such announcements emphasizing how sash and doors save coal and add to the comfort of the inmates of any dwelling. It might be pointed out that such adjuncts last for years, are easily put up and taken down and the first cost is practically the last cost and even the initial outlay is not heavy. Many other points might be stressed regarding the necessity of having this work done during pleasant weather be- fore the fall rains, snow and zero temperatures arrive. All the facts that have been set forth are widely known both by retail lumbermen and customers but it is often necessary to make mention of a seasonal suggestion in order to arouse activity and secure practical results. Advertising at this time can do much to emphasize the advantages and economies of equipping homes with safeguards against cold weather and overcoming the tendency to put off things until the last moment. Both the merchant and cus- tomer are inclined to follow the lines of least resistance instead of taking time by the forelock and getting things done. Decision and promptitude instead of procrastination and indifference are the char- acteristics needed in business to-day. It is necessary that something should be done in order to keep business on the move. He, who is ever watchful and alert, will find many opportunities for increasing trade and capturing a number of odd jobs-in his community which, while they may not be large, so far as each unit is concerned, yet, in the aggregate, make up a re- spectable total and increase the profits on operations during 1923. What Canada Should do with Forests The Empire Forestry Conference, which was recently held in Canada and surveyed the wooded resources of the Dominion from coast to coast, has issued a comprehensive report making certain recommendations which are of vital interest and should receive prompt attention with a view to definite action. The menace of the forest fire is dwelt upon and more effective protective measures are advocated in the interest of the conservation of standing timber. The report, which was fittingly issued during the recent Fire Prevention Week, is interesting, and not only emphasizes the need of more vigilantly safeguarding the dendritic areas of Canada but also draws attention to the reduction of waste in sawmill and logging operations. The employment of aircraft is stressed as well as the application of more efficient methods of silviculture. The Conference was well received in various parts of Canada. It aroused the interest of the public in the wealth and welfare of the forest and drew attention to the necessity of carrying on reforesta- tion of waste lands in the belief and confidence that the Empire’s timber needs should ‘be applied from within. Reviewing the possibilities of practising silviculture throughout Canada, following its tour of inspecton, the conference makes cer- tan recommendations as follows: Eastern Canada—Forest planting of waste lands as a measure supplemental to the intelligent management of existing forests, which, however, must always constitute the main source of future supplies. More extensive experiments in the transportation and use of hardwood, which is destroying the pulpwood forests. _—* or wo on the prairie farms. Western Canada—More economical methods of logging and the protection of seed trees at present destroyed by the debris and waste matter covering the soil, following logging operations, One of the most important recommendations made by the con- ference is for the establishment of “reserve forests,” or clearly defined districts intended to remain as forests, where the arts of fire preven- tion and silviculture would be specialized. In other areas, not so well suited for reforestation, no attempt would be made to replant trees. The conference expressed its opinion that the British Empire’s requirements of timber and other forest products should be supplied to the greatest possible extent from sources within the Empire, and that it should ‘become self-supporting in almost all minor forest pro- ducts. Owing to Canada’s vast forests, fire control, it is stated in the re- port, must continue to play an important part in the protection of the standing timber. While active fire prevention is urged, the con- ference claims that unfavorable climatic conditions may result in sudden emergency periods of great danger, and for this reason forest officers should be clothed with powers adequate to conscript labor to fight emergency fires. “We are impressed,” the report says, “not only with the value but with the necessity of using aircraft in protecting the forests of the inaccessible and uninhabited north country of Canada. Unfor- tunately, costs of operation are so high as to restrict use below the point of efficiency, where forest authorities are required to pay in full for services received. In view of the importance of this subject we feel that the attention of the governments should be drawn to the national necessity of providing airships free or at moderate rates for the use of existing air services to the fullest extent in forest protection work. Where government air facilities are not adequate to meet all the requirements, we are of the opinion that subsidies should be granted to commercial air companies, sufficient to allow them to carry out forest protection work at rates which are within the economic means of forest authorities.” Proper Cost Accounting Saves Pitfalls It is pleasing to observe that a good portion of the time spent by the directors of the Hardwood Manufacturers’ Institute was de- voted to a consideration of cost accounting methods. That organiza- tion is launching into an earnest effort to arouse the manufacturers of hardwood lumber to a realization of the necessity of knowing their costs; and if it should accomplish that and never do anything else it would have rendered the MOSS a most signal service, says the “Southern Lumberman.” It would be impossible to over-emphasize the importance of a knowledge of cost accounting to lumber manufacturers. When we stop to consider the fundamentals of the business we must inevitably arrive at the conclusion that such a knowledge is absolutely essential tothe intelligent conduct of a lumber manufacturing business. The lumber manufacturer is engaged in cutting down trees, converting them into lumber and selling that lumber to factories which fabricate it into a finished product. The natural assumption is that they are engaged in this activity for the purpose of making money. The only way they can expect to make money is to sell the lumber for more than it cost to produce it. But how can they know whether they are doing that if they don’t know what it cost? tary in its simplicity, but it is a deplorable fact that perhaps a major- ity of the manufacturers of lumber are staggering along from day to day, really in ignorance of what it costs them to put their lumber in the pile. When a buyer offers $95 for good plain oak or $50 for B and better pine flooring, the average manufacturer has only the vaguest idea as to whether such prices would realize him a profit or a loss. In other words, the success or failure of a lumber manufacturing business depends entirely on the selling price; and without a know- ledge of costs it is impossible to fix a selling price intelligently. If a proper knowledge of costs prevailed generally among the manufacturers of lumber there would undoubtedly be greater stabil- ity about the business. That is, the trade would not be subjected to the periodic successions of extremities of prosperity and adver- sity which have characterized the lumber market in the past. ‘There would, of course, continue to be seen the normal round of ups and downs; but there would not recur those depressing times when the sawmill operators appear to be actuated by a concerted determination to force their lumber on the market regardless of price. As a well- informed lumberman expressed it recently: “There will always be een counters and there will always be distress lumber for sale, the more the mill man knows of his costs the less lumber you will see on the bargain counter and the more will he fortify himself CANADA LUMBERMAN .

Tourist Travel Means Much to Canada From reports received from the different sections of Can- ada and from railway, steamship and motor travel figures, there is every reason to believe that a conservative estimate ; of the value of total tourist traffic into Canada for the year under review would be not less than $100,000,000. aa This means it has already become one of Canada’s most | important sources of wealth. When money is brought into | the country by tourist travel it is the same as if goods werd exported to that amount and money received in return, the only difference being that nothing has been shipped out of the country that leaves the capital stock diminished. There were only in the year under review three items of exports trade which aggregated more than $100, 000,000, so that the export of scenery occupies fourth place in Canada’s foreign trade. ’ Happy is the Man Who Knows he was born to work, and that by work well done he can keep on climbing as other men have done to more enjoyable and profitable work.

It is not done by successful business men. Yard managers who leave their yard to go fishing, hunt- ing or visiting without leaving a competent man in charge of the business are courting failure.

J. Shirton, of Dunnville, president of the Ontario Retail Lum- Dealers’ Association, and Horace Boultbee, of Toronto, secre- of that body, returned recently from attending the seventh ual gathering of the National Retail Lumber Dealers’ Associa- tion which convened at Louisville, Ky., on October 9, 10 and 11. ‘A large attendance and much enthusiasm marked the proceedings of the representative gathering and several timely questions were dis- cussed. The addresses were practical and pointed and the social features were delightful. The convention was most successful from every standpoint and was well managed throughout. In his interesting, annual address, President John E. Lloyd of Philadelphia, said that one of the most serious problems facing the ‘tetailer today is the increasing cost of retail distribution. He de- clared that economy and foresight were needed in every walk of life and the retail lumber merchants of the United States should do their part in devising ways of keeping the cost of material to the consumer as low as possible. ; In presenting some of his ideas along this line the president said in part: We should study carefully the possibilities of a centrally located _yard or yards, in which all competing yards have a proportionate in- rerest. The duplication of stocks, especially of heavy timbers and _ of those grades and sizes that have a slow turnover, is something that should have serious consideration. I believe the difficulty could be largely eliminated by a central yard. - ber fr Should there be a general trucking company formed in which all, or at least part, of each yard’s equipment is pooled? Can we go even further and have just one holding corporation, and by this means eliminate expensive yards supplying the same territory? Is it not a fact that many of the larger yards in the big cities are located _ in the congested areas, where real estate is the most expensive and where the majority of their hauls are through congested streets to the outlying districts? Why not dispose of these yards, buy in the suburbs where land is cheap and where most of the future develop- ment will necessarily be? Inefficient labor is a big problem today and a study should be made of the application and development of - piece work in retail yards. The Movement Toward Standardization 3 . Of the much discussed theory of standardization Mr. Lloyd said: _ Can we not all agree on some standard for lumber and try it for a year? If it does not work, we can make a change. It is a matter of give and take; we will all of us have to give up some of our pet ideas and all sections of the country will have to concede something for the sake of definite results. So far, it appears to me, the manufactur- ers have done most of the taking and little of the giving, and we _ might well make better progress if they would be willing to meet us at least half way, and not demand that we apparently concede that they are always right. “ I do not feel that we need a new unit of measure, and far as _ I know the manufacturers hold the same opinion. With the present unit of measure continued, and with the adoption of standard sizes, it will be necessary in order to obtain Government sanction, that lumber be cut full size green. If manufacturers and retailers are agreed on that, then why cut away 3/8 inch to arrive at the finished standard size of a 2 by 4, when 1/4 inch or less is ample under the best manufacturing practice? ¥ _ E. P. Allen, director of publicity of the National Lumber Manu- _ facturers Association, Washington, spoke on the benefits that would _ accrue from co-operative efforts by manufacturers and retailers and outlined the campaign that the lumber manufacturers were inaugura- : ting to educate the public to the value of lumber as a construction material. He stated that the manufacturers could not successfully carry the campaign without the help of the retailers and urged that the latter enter into the idea with enthusiasm. - ‘The general plan contemplates the holding of an intensive home building campaign featuring lumber as the exclusive construction rial. The initial demonstrations will be held in two representa- (i “tye - ~ eared ert ee 5 ee + ae Bs ee Oe” lee ee a at er CANADA LUMBERMAN 53 National Lumber Dealers Get New Viewpoints ‘« Annual Gathering at Louisville, Ky., Was Attended by President and Sec- : retary of Ontario Association—Handling Materials in Retail Yards of lumber, which, it is hoped can be started and finished within the period of the campaign. From the day the erection of the home is started a newspaper story will appear daily, which will explain the construction and keep the public in touch with the progress of the structure. Following this address was a general discussion on the subject of advertising. Here again the co-operative idea was propounded and several short talks by retailers showed the value of advertising in an educational way. It was pointed out that the thought of home owning should be inculcated on the public mind through the adver- tising of retail lumber dealers. W. S. Dickason, of Kansas City, opened an interesting discus- sion on the value of keeping the public informed regarding the price comparisons of building a standard house. He stated that, as every- one knows, the public get erroneous ideas about the price of lumber and that it was an excellent idea to keep the people informed by such periodical surveys as conditions warrant. Handling Material on Piece Basis Another profitable discussion was held when the subject of seek- ing economies through labor and time saving devices was given a good airing by the delegates. Amos Y. Lesher, Philadelphia, in opening the talk, advocated having plenty of yard space wherever possible, so that lumber piles can be kept at moderate height, as high piles spell high labor cost for handling; also wide alleys in sheds, facilitate greatly, the loading of trucks. He said that his company had received good results by paying for unloading cars on a piece- work basis, the rate being 50 cents a thousand feet when the lumber is piled beside the tracks, and 40 cents a thousand feet for loading from piles onto trucks. These figures are based on a wage of 40 cents an hour for labor. An interesting talk was on the part motor trucks play in the handling of material around the lumber yard. J. R. Bohn of Toledo, Ohio, said that his company attributed greater economy and effici- ency in the tractor-trailer system and in maintaining light trucks for making small deliveries. The tractor-trailer system enables them to make up loads and keep the men occupied all the time. When a tractor returns from a trip it immediately hooks on to a loaded trailer and starts out again. By using the tractors only for supplying haul- ing power on the road and trailers for assembling loads while the tractors are cut out, time is saved and costs are kept down. At the close of the three days’ convention the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association adopted several outstanding resolu- tions which were as follows: Whereas, The members of this association in convention assem- bled took action favoring establishing as standard 1 and 2 inch lum- ber when dry, rough, and inasmuch as this association has a per- manent committee on standardization, be it Resolved, That this matter of standard widths and thicknesses be referred to the Central Committee on Lumber Standards through the standardization committee of this association. Are Opposed to Odd Lengths | Resolved, That we are opposed to the manufacture of odd lengths of lumber longer than 9 feet, and we believe a market can be found for lengths 4 to 9 feet only when bundled separately by the manufacturer and sold at an adequate differential in price. : Resolved, That the secretary shall call on one or more dealers in each section of the country to refigure the cost of lumber and millwork for a certain dwelling at certain intervals, thus making — possible comparisons on a percentage basis of one period with an- other for the purpose of correcting any erroneous information being circulated. The annual banquet of the association was held on the last even- ing of the convention and John W. Blodgett, president of the Na- tional Lumber Manufacturers Association, gave a talk on the bene- fits to be derived from closer co-operation between the manufacturer and retailer on the subject of determining the standardization of lum- ber grades and sizes and in serving the lumber consuming public. The dinner was followed by vaudeville entertainment and dancing. “ Tree 2a te 5 CANADA LUMBERMAN BR a Nin es oe Reduced Stumpage Dues in Quebec Logging on Burned Areas Will Likely be Con- ducted on Extensive Scale During Season The Quebec Provincial Government has, after further consider- ation, met the wishes of the Quebec limit. holders in regard to a reduction of tariff rates on stumpage. It will be remembered that in the month of August last the members of the Quebec Limit Holders’ Association waited on the Taschereau- Government and made the request that the Order-in-Council passed in 1920 in regard to tariffs on logging, be further suspended and that the 1918 tariff rates be continued in force the same as was done in 1921-22, to encourage operations in the lumber camps which would have to be curtailed if the 1920 Order-in-Council raising the tariff rates was put in force. The deputation of limit holders, who waited on the Quebec Government to make this request, pointed out the condi- tions of the lumber market, the present high cost of living and demands of labor for work in the woods on account of labor shortage. This request, after some consideration by the Government, was refused and the Order-in-Council passed in 1920, was put in force. This decision was a surprise to the limit holders who were waiting for an answer to their request from the Government before they started to make their estimates for the work of logging to be carried on in the lumber camps this fall and winter. Later in the latter part of September the limit holders met in Quebec and decided to again call on the Quebec Government and demonstrate in practical detail the urgent necessity of a reduction in - tariffs to insure logging operations in the woods. The situation was clearly illustrated by the limit holders, who were assured by Premier Taschereau and Hon. Mercier, Minister of the Department of Lands and Forests, that.the Government would seriously study the situa- tion and the arguments advanced and render an early decision. _ destruction. timber and the urgency of active prevention against fires. During the first week of October the Quebec Government noti- fied the Quebec Limit Holders’ Association that, after carefully studying the arguments made in the request for a continuation of the 1918 tariff rates, the Government had decided to make the fol- lowing reductions for logging in the burnt areas as follows:—White pine from $3.25 to $2; red pine from $2.25 to $1.75; spruce from $1.75 to $1.10. The rates on green wood to remain in force as stipulated in the Order-in-Council passed for tariff rates in 1920. Results Received With Satisfaction These reductions have been received with satisfaction and have enabled the limit holders to proceed with the making of their esti- mates for the cutting to be carried on this fall and coming winter and will assure a much larger cut than would have taken place if the Government had insisted on 1920 tariff rates. Operations will be confined to the burnt areas with little or no cutting in the green timber areas. In the meantime it is generally recognized that the T'aschereau Government manifested creditable wisdom in granting the reduction for logging in the burnt areas for, if the reduction had not been made, there would not have been any special inducement for the cutting in these areas and very little work carried on in the green wood areas on account of the Government tariff rates and the market conditions in Europe as well as the competition from the European continental wood supply countries which would be too formidable for the Canadian trade to meet with any degree of profit. Another phase in the situation which the Government no doubt well considered was the dangerous menace of insect breeding and It was realized that if the burnt areas, where fifty or more per cent of the timber can be salvaged, were to a large extent abandoned by the lumber interests in their logging operations, these territories were likely to become a dangerous breeding centre for the borer, the bud worm, fungus and every species of the insect pest which would develop into enormous proportions and spread to every section of the forests with appalling results. This menace will now be in a large measure obviated by the fact that the lumber interests have declared their intention of carrying on logging operations on an extensive scale in the burnt areas leaving the green timber limits for future operations. Active Prevention Against Fires In the meantime the Quebec. Government realizing the need of guarding the provincial forest areas against fire destruction, have under consideration a scheme on a large scale in this direction. Among the resolutions passed at the British Empire Forestry Con- ference held at Ottawa, was the protection of standing timber. The resolution proceeds to state:—Owing to Canada’s vast forests, fire control must continue to be an important part of the protection of That owing to unfavorable climatic conditions may result in sudden which carries numerous other passengers for South African ports. emergency periods of great danger and for this reason forest offi should. be clothed with powers adequate to conscript labor to fig! emergency fires.” . The Canadian Forestry Association’s report just issued points — out that during the past five years Canadian citizens, through their — own recklessness, have over 3,600,000 acres of merchantable timber — growing on publicly-owned land while in the whole Dominion onl 6,000 acres have as yet been planted artificially. This is a serio picture of waste and destruction and it is time the collective Provii cial Government got together to map out and put into effect a p for the protection of Canadian forests from destruction by fire.

They were practically unanimous in their opposition to any embargo at the ‘present time. The question of the best methods of dealing with _ forest fires were discussed at length by several of the witnesses and the commissioners and also the ravages of the budworm. . Kenneth L. Golding, Bonny River Lumber Co., opposed the embargo and advocated the-use of aeroplanes to protect forests from fires. A. J. O’Connor, Bonny River Lumber Co., advocated the burn- ing of dry grass off meadows in spring and fall as he felt this grass caused forest fires. It was not feasible to burn slash and an embargo would leave wood owners without a market. W. E. Golding spoke _ in favor of greater fire protection and favored fire police and look- out towers. The quantity of hardwood being used was not as large as it should be. He suggested that G. H. Prince, chief forester, who Was an asset to the province be given more money to fight fires. Fire was the chief enemy. George B. Jones, M.P.P., Apohaqui, said it would be a mistake to put on an embargo until there was a market at home. Farmers in Kings and Queens were opposed to it. Charles Anderson, McAdam Junction, also opposed the embargo —" E. H. Finlayson, Ottawa, Secretary Pulpwood Commission _ on the ground that farmers in his section to-day could realize money on hardly anything else but pulpwood. Percy Anderson, lumber- _ man, of Charlotte County, was another who opposed the embargo on _ the same grounds. Commissioner McLellan, just before adjourning, took exception _ to a newspaper report which stated that the evidence had been pres- ented to the effect that “the forests were not decreasing, and that _ there was no reason why they should be with proper methods of conservation.” ‘The forests are decreasing at a rapid rate, said Mr. - McLellan, not so much by the axe as by fire and budworm. Articles _ like these are more or less misleading. The forests are rapidly decreasing and. more peogle must understand this. The article was not a correct presentation but practically the reverse. _ Gray B. N. Keith, of the Atlantic Pulpwood Co., was not in favor of an embargo on pulpwood. It would mean that farmers would not have a source of revenue their lands now afford them, It would offer no inducement for pulp mill owners to come in until the resources of his own country were exhausted. It would take y the right to sell to the highest bidder. It is not logging but eless lumbermen, fishermen, etc., whose fires destroy more than ators could hope to cut, that are depleting forests. Fire was the enemy of forests. To put down fires should be the primary ect in preservation of forests. He suggested that a commission "Sac 2% 7 r ead ye a 3 ss lin Many Witnesses Before Pulpwood Commission Evidence Thus Far is Strongly Against Proposed Embargo—Best Method of a Dealing With Forest Fires and Ravages of Bud Worm Considered be appointed to enforce the fire laws as regards forests. His com- pany operated in the southern part of the province from York county downwards. His business was export entirely. Prices paid farmers f.o.b. at mill ranged from $7.50 to $11.50 a cord, depending on the distance from the mill. Edgar Rickard, president of the Pejepscot Paper Co., said that it was a corporation of Maine consisting of sulphite pulp and paper mills. Its chief source of supply was from Canada, owning 600,000 cords in New Brunswick and 300,000 cords on Crown lands. It also owned large interests in Quebec besides others in Maine. An em- bargo would cut off the supply of 30,000 cords of wood in Canada and would jeopardize the company. It would be in effect the seizure of private property. The holdings of the company were on the shores of the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick and there was no chance to develop water power to operate mills here. The pulpwood thus would seem to be useless if an embargo was effected. The company would not think of moving its mills to the province and an embargo would mean the scrapping of plant worth millions of dollars. Standing timber to-day after twenty years’ operation was greater than at the time of acquisition. The sum of $400,000 had been spent on forest preservation and reforestation. There had been only small losses from fire as the result of the resolve to take every safeguard to preserve the company’s property as a perpetual source of supply. Conservation as regards the Pejepscot Co. would not be gained by an embargo as they already had it. He spoke of the necessity of protecting vested interests. In answer to the chairman it was stated that the cost of shipping from New Brunswick to Bath, Me., was between $4 and $5 per cord. New Pulp and Paper School at Three Rivers The Quebec Government has established at Three Rivers, Que., a school of pulp and paper manufacturing which is the only one of its kind in America. At a meeting of the pulp and paper manufactur- ers recently held at Three Rivers, they officially gave their sanction to the programme of the school. For the purpose of keeping the teaching staff in close contact with the pulp and paper industry of the country, the government has appointed an advisory committee with the object of communicating to the school whatever advices or suggestions they may judge of interest to the students. The members of the committee are,— Messrs. Sabbatton, of the Laurentide Co., Grand Mere, Que.; Carru- thers, of the Interlake Tissue Mills, Toronto; Stadler, of the Belgo Paper Co., Shawinigan Falls, Que.; Bothwell, of the Brompton Pulp & Paper Co., East-Angus, Que.; Ed. Beck, secretary of the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association, and J. N. Stephenson, Gardenvale, Que. The ordinary course to be given by the new school will last four years of thirty-six weeks each and is open to those of fourteen years of age or over. There will be an additional fifth year for those who should wish to specialize. The students will be regularly employed in a mill during class hours and also during the sum- mer vacation if they so desire. Among the different subjects to be taught will be mathematics, mechanical drawing, physics, hydraulics, chemistry, mechanics and electricity, special studies on the preparation of pulp and paper, paper making, commercial and industrial law, industrial control, mill tools — machinery and laboratory work of all kinds. The subjects pertain- ing to the preparation of paper and pulp manufacturing will be taught with all possible care and in all details. The school opens on November 12 and it is expected that, at least thirty students will register for the first year, besides twenty- _ five already at the mills who will take in the night classes. Mr. P. E Piche is the director of the new school. Turrible! Turrible! One Sunday two lovers went to church.

It is believed that a building boom will shortly eventuate in Vancouver and it is desirable that all trade interests should work beta in unity and harmony. Naturally some criti- cism has been levelled against lumbermen at different times, alleg- ing that they are selling their product at too high a figure. The recent gathering was to discuss the cost of all building ma- terial with a revision in price if it was found that such could be carried out. Arguments were brought forward by certain builders who thought lumber should be cheaper in Vancouver than the price charged for orders shipped by rail to the United States. A discount from: the retail price on all material, including sash, doors, shingles, etc., should be given to certain contractors, was urged on the one hand. It was alleged that this was the practice elsewhere. E. F. Sanders, manager of the Vancouver Lumber Co., in reply- ing for the lumbermen ee lumber was cheaper in Vancouver than at any other point on the Pacific coast. That would mean, also, that it was considerably lower than quotations in towns in the interior reached by rail. It was obvious, he added, that contractors were getting lumber cheaper than contractors in other cities anywhere on the continent. J. A. Edgecumbe of the Canada Shingle Co. and president of the Shingle Association, repeated the assertion that lumber could not be obtained anywhere at lower figures than those prevailing in Van- couver. The building trade was being supplied at the lowest pos- sible cost. Conte ey ee aebate Representations of supply houses in such building material as’ cement, sand, gravel, lime, heating and plumbing equipment, were unanimous in telling the builders that until there was a greater de- mand very little reduction i in present prices could be expected. They pointed out that the plant for production of such material was handi- capped with the same overhead as if the demand were good, and the capacity of existing plants is equal to many times present demand. Guard Machines at Point of Operation At the National Safety Council which recently held its twelfth annual meeting in Buffalo, there was a splendid attendance and much interest was taken in the proceedings. A number of Can- adians were present at the sessions. The congress was one of the most inspiring and co-operative that has taken place since 1911. The great cry is to reduce the number of accidents and thus maintain efficiency and productiveness. The woodworking industry came in for its share of attention and several sessions were devoted to considering safety devices and methods for this line of activity. It was emphasized that greater care should be exercised in the operation of woodworking machines and it was stated that, in this specific branch of industry, much more interest should be aroused as $9,000,000 was paid out in losses through workmen’s compensation. It appears that over 42 per cent. of all the losses paid occurred through accidents at the point of oper- ~ ation. Ways and means of guarding the point of operation on circular saws and shapers were considered. For this purpose a large number of saw guards manufactured by commercial houses together with home made devices forwarded by industrial concerns which had been developed in their specific plants were exhibited and after each speci- fic type had been demonstrated an able discussion on the subject was conducted by C. B. Auel, manager, employees service department, Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Co., East Pittsburgh, Pa. Throughout the discussion particular emphasis was placed upon the large number of accidents occurring from “kick backs’ and it seemed to be the consensus that each circular saw other than the self feed saws should be provided with a device to prevent the material from being thrown back on the operator. Considerable weight was placed on the fact that because of the losses through accidents _ jointers should be furnished with guards which would provide the maximum of protection. Great interest was exhibited in the guard- ing of wood shapers. It seemed to be the opinion that each cutting head of a wood shaper, hand fed panel raiser and similar machines which were not automatically fed should be enclosed with an ade- quate cage guard so designed as to keep the operator’s hands away from the cutting edge. Devices of this type were demonstrated. How to organize for safety in the woodworking plant was ably dealt with by J. L. Thompson, superintendent of the Engineering and Inspection Division of the Travellers’ Insurance Co. The speaker _ called attention to the necessity of so locating machines that each _ be o¥ercome by safeguarding and pointed out that the only way to counteract such accidents was to conduct a well organized safety organization in the plant. The National Safety Council has issued ’ from which a choice could be made: very camplete instructions covering methods ei Beenie safe work and these publications will be of interest to any industrial pl carrying, on woodworking operations. a A.

Kurkjian, of the Oliver Machinery Co., Grand Rapids, Mich., talked “Safe Plant Layout and Equipment.” This paper called attention to the necessity of so locating machines that each” operator will have sufficient space in which to handle material w the least possible interference from or to other workmen or machi and also the necessity of placing machines so that it would not compulsory for the operator to stand near an aisle. The machin should also be arranged to take advantage of natural light.as far possible and the work laid out so that the operations on each fl follow in sequence, thus allowing the process to develop from one end of the plant to the other. Emphasis was placed on the fact th floors where operators were compelled to stand to operate machin such as woodworking shapers, jointers, saw and wood turning lath should be provided with effective means to prevent slipping — attention was called to the fact that aisles should be of suffice width to permit passing of trucks and workmen without crowd . A thoughtful and timely paper was given by Sherwood Brock- well, State insurance department, Raleigh, N. C., on “Fire Protection — in Lumber Yards and Woodworking Plants.” This was followed by a discussion on the “Cost of Point of Operation Accidents” and a method of reducing these costs by H. G. Wiberg, chief engineer and underwriter, Lumber Mutual Casualty Insurance Co., of New York, | who made a complete analysis of the cost of accidents in mood em ing plants and emphasized the fact that through the guarding of the point of operation of machines the cost of workmen’s compensa- tion could be greatly reduced, ey Dues on Green Timber are Higher ee Contrary to the impression that recent orders-in-council passed — by the Quebec Government will reduce the stumpage dues on burnt © timber, the Canadian Lumbermen’s Association, Ottawa, lately issued — a statement to the effect that the dues on green and burned timber ~ will be considerably higher for the cutting season of 1923-24 as com- pared with the 1922-23. season. The statement says: 4 On green timber the increase on white pine, oak, hickory, a nut, is $2.40, the dues last season being $2.60, whereas they. are $5 for | this season; on red pine, elm, ash, basswood, birch, maple, tamarac, — the increase is $1.50, last season’s dues being $2.00, this season $3.50; on spruce, balsam, grey pine, hemlock, white birch, aspen, poplar, the ee is $1.10, last season’s dues being $1.60 and this season — $2.70 On burned timber the increase is 25 cents on all classes of tim- ber. The dues last season on white pine, oak, hickory, walnut, were $1.75, this season $2.00; on red pine, elm, ash, basswood, birch, maple, tamarac, last season’s dues’ were $1.50 this season $1.75; on — spruce, balsam, grey pine, hemlock, white birch, aspen, poplar, Tast season’s dues were $1.25, and this season $1.50 These dues are all based per 1,000 feet board measure. Canada Can Have Any Site Desired President Lalou of the Municipal Council of Paris appeared be- — fore the Municipal Committee which met recently to decide as to the ~ request submitted by the Prefect of the Seine regarding the fixing of a site in Paris for the installation of the Canadian travelling exhibi-_ tion. He urged his colleagues to come to a favorable decision in order that the city might give evidence to Canada of its feelings of fraternal sympathy. The committee, with a view to encouraging by all means at its disposal the success of the exhibition, designated the following sites Esplanade des Invalides, Place de Bretuil, Boulevard St. Francois Xavier, Place Vauban, Champ de Mars, Cours de Vincennes. “As long as there is lumber left in America I must have My CANADA LUMBERMAN.” . So writes a reader from a far country who has been reading Canada’s National Lumber Journal for years. Perhaps you know him, he is: W. W. Thamas, Solhem, Karlshamn, Sweden , A During the past thirty five years this old world has certainly travelled at a dizzy pace. Whether the tremendous energy has taken us forward or not, is a difficult question to answer. When we view the situation today from one angle we see the “milestones of passing years marking great advances in science; in- -numerable inventions in industry and countless discoveries of natural phenomena which, on the face of it all, ostensibly personifies true progress. _ It was inevitable that with these tremendous changes a cer- _ tain discontent for old methods would gradually manifest itself. Many of these obsolete methods and institutions had to go, of course. But we are learning today that some of the so-called improvements have fallen down ibadly, and many of us are wondering if the old ways were not superior, in some cases. _ The present day method of obtaining apprentices in many lines of trade is an example that stands out like a sore thumb, When this comparatively new country of Canada commenced to get on its feet not so very many years ago, the system of binding youths for a cer- tain numlber of years to an employer, for an agreed upon wage, gradually lost its preference. People coming to this land of ours desired to make improvements upon the systems of the old land which in some cases they believed were more or less oppressive. Our educational system was a radical change. Children raised under the school system of Canada were afforded a better chance to _ obtain a higher education than their fathers and mothers did in the old land. With the minds of the people focussed on that desire to give their children something better, which meant in most cases, a white collar job, our schools system trained the youth under that ° _ influence. Today we are witnessing the initial results in an acute shortage in all lines of industry. In the wood manufacturing industry the shops and mills are _ filled with elderly men and in many cases, the positions are held by _ those who have passed their three score years and ten. A Western Man’s Idea At the Second Congress of Western Planing Mill and Wood- _ working Association, held at Portland, Oregon, P. J. McDonald of _ the Los Angeles Planing Mill Co. addressed the delegates on the _ problem of “Apprenticeship Training.’ He made many pertinent observations and suggestions on the perpetuation of the labor supply _ in his particular field of activity. These deductions mark Mr. Mc- Donald as a man who has given the subject careful thought. The salient points of his talk are reproduced here and are well worth a _ perusal. 4 “T have run an open shop for 23 years, and believe this is the reason of my success with so many apprentices. We do not dis- _criminate against a union man, but we do insist on a non-union fore- man, and expect him to treat the union and non-union men alike, to be firm, but kind. It is not only the personal interest which the foreman takes in the help, but it is the interest which the executives show in their em- _ ployes that really counts. I like to walk through the shop and know _ every man and boy by name, pass the time of day, and if they have “any sorrows or troubles, assist them when you can, and you will find — personal interest is a big asset. Difficult to get Help I believe I have been instrumental in training and turning out more young men in the different branches of the planing mill indus- _ try than any other planing mill man in Southern California. ____In the past it has been very difficult to secure young fellows on account of the low wage paid, the exception being that the sons of r nany of our old employees took up their father’s trade; but the number of these are few, comparatively speaking, when we consider the large number engaged in our line. Of late years, on account of the improved condition of wages, We find’ a greater number anxious to work in our shops. It is up to therefore, to encourage them in every way; first, ‘by paying a ent wage, give each a locker for his clothes, provide a place to , keep the premises sanitary and clean, and secondly, see that _ teacher, or foreman, is interested in them, treats them kindly A og aS a ed of encouragement for each one. If mistakes are ina cindy He aad, you ill find the boy more anxious a > CANADA LUMBERMAN or boas | Securing and Training Young Men Is Problem ‘Present-day Methods of Obtaining Apprentices Is Far From Satisfactory—Some Improvements Urgently Needed—Radical Change Suggested to improve. Do not expect too much until he has had a reasonable time to make the grade. If it takes too long to bring about this con- dition, then something is wrong; either he is not properly trained, or else he is dull and not interested in his work except to the extent of his pay. If the former, correct and give him a fair chance; if the latter, let him go, he will never make good, Difficulty in Holding the Boy We find one of the most discouaging circumstances in connec- tion with apprenticeship training is that on account of not having | some legal method of holding a boy in your employ, that after spend- ing your time and money on his training, he wants more wages than he is really worth, forgets his obligations to you, leaves because he doesn’t get it and immediately goes over to your competitor and gets more than you could afford to pay him. This has occurred to us many times, and to others whom I know. And this condition must be remedied ‘before the mill owners will seriously interest themselves in this phase of the business. Isn’t it possible for the Western Planing Mill Association to take up this question in earnest and adopt some standard of legal contract, or indenture, to cover apprentices? Then, and not until then, will we be able to interest the majority of employers and make real machanics of apprentices.” When the Mill Falls Down on Delivery “Many mills are blaming us for not selling more lumber when there is little stock changing hands, or they declare that there is — business if we will only get out and dig for it,” remarked a leading lumber salesman the other day. be on our side, there are not a few times when the mill is to blame. All the sins of omission cannot be pinned on the lapel of the traveller. The millman knows that in many instances he falls down on ship- ments. in the hands of our customer by a certain day. He does not receive it and naturally he attaches considerable blame to us when it is the mill that is wholly to blame. ‘The customer quite properly becomes “While the fault may occasionally We promise that a carload of such and such stock will be © irritated. Generally when he orders, he has a very definite outlet in — sight for the stock or a need that he wishes to supply immediately, Delays, therefore, seriously inconvenience him and he does not like to order more from other sources as he fears overloading. Occasion- | ally we find a man who cancels his order just because he canngt get prompt delivery and no one can really blame him. “Mills talk about their service and should make every effort to live up to it, for there is nothing that can take its place. When we call on some of our customers later, they do not fail to remind us,— “Oh! you are the beggar from whom I ordered that carload of mer- chantable hemlock which you promised would reach me by the 16th of last month. It did not get here till the 10th of this month.” Owe a, “Then we have to do a lot of talking in the way of offering ex- — cuses and seeking to pacify the complainant. Even then he will re- tain doubts and will be chary of placing another order with us especi- ally if the stock is required within a certain specified time.” “Service” is a much-abused term in connection with all busi- nesses and “delivery” is often at fault. is a great lever in landing trade, establishing close relationships and working for the expansion of business and a larger turnover.” Teacher (to boy sitting idly in school during writing time): GELeney. why are ‘you not w riting?” Henry: “I aint got no pen.’ Teacher: “Where’s your grammar?” Henry: “She’s dead.” Jonny was learning the alphabet and was asked by his teacher what letter came after “H.” “T dunno.” “What have I on each side of my nose? Freckles.” Living up to one’s promises — 58 CANADA | CURRENT LUMBER ig ee Eh 4 +t Sree ao ipe ys ‘ek . 9 af 2 > Toronto Hardwood Prices The prices given below are the average quota- tions for carload lots, F.O.B Toronto, from wholesalers to retailers, and are based on a good percentage of long lengths and good widths with- out any wide stock having been sorted.

C. fir clears though ‘not sufficient to stiffen prices at this end as wholesalers are not dis- ‘posed to hold larger stocks. | Dimension stocks of such sizes as 8” x 8”, 10” x 10” & 12” x 12”, 20 ft. and up are quoted around $57.50 per M. ft. ex rail; when water borne stock is available this can be had at something less. It is that an over shipment of about 170,000 ft. is coming forward ex steamer which will probably be the last to reach port before the close of navigation. There is also some stock offering ex New York at about the above price. _ The spruce market is steady with good demand but there is hesi- tation on the part of the yards to buy at the advanced prices now _ asked by the mills; indeed, yards are often prepared to sell at a lower price ex yard than the mills are willing to accept ex f.o.b. cars Mon- treal; in such a size as 2” x 9” local dealers are selling at $45 whereas mills ask around $47.50 f.o.b. cars Montreal. ; Until the present divergence of views is rectified the trade does not look for a great deal of activity as between the mills and whole- salers: With the export market “off” buyers are going warily. _ ‘The export market to Great Britain continues quiet for this time of the year when shippers are generally getting stocks across to complete their winter specifications, prior to any possible increase in freight rates and to avoid extra insurance. There is a fair quan- tity of white pine being moved out but it is doubtful if these repre- sent sales. It is more for the purpose of reducing holdings on this side and no doubt financing is easier across the pond. > Ocean freight rates to all ports continue to be quoted at 70/-per standard, an absurd rate as compared with pre war figures, and as _ long as such a rate is maintained it will tend to impede business and will assist the Swedish and Norwegian shippers. ; It is contended that even at this figure the steamers do not make money but shippers cannot believe that running expenses today are 100% higher than at pre war times. The opinion of some is that the _ extra cost is caused by inflated capital on which dividends are ex- _ pected to be paid. If ocean rates to old country ports were say _ 50/-per standard it would help lumber exports immensely and this _ shippers consider would be a fair rate both for themselves and the _ steamship companies. a It is too late now to look for a change this season but better _ things next spring are hoped for. Should the recent dullness in grain shipments continue the Maritime Province shippers may get some concession for winter shipments as should grain not offer in larger pa yentities the liners may be forced to look for deals in larger quan- tities. ¥ g Lumber Business in Ontario is Spotty . Business in the lumber line generally shows but little change and the majority of wholesalers describe the trade as “spotty.” Some _ weeks are exceptionally good and others are decidedly off. It is the same, too, in the matter of orders received by mail. On certain dates _ inquiries are numerous and on others there is an entire absence. _ Retail yards are not buying very much at the present juncture and are replenishing their stock in the various widths and thicknesses only as required. 3 Building materials are not moving any too freely in any section _ of the province. Many dealers are awaiting rumored price declines; _ others ‘have adequate stocks on hand; and still others are not buying _ because they anticipate a subnormal volume of business during the - following few months. Prices on the whole, however, are fairly firm and this applies particularly to No.-1 and No. 2 white pine mill culls. Hemlock is a little easier than it has been owing to the falling off in general building in the larger centres, but spruce is holding tipwell and prices are inclined to stiffen. No two men seem to hold identical opinions with respect to the future of the lumber industry. Several wholesalers declare that a period of lower prices is at hand, and affirm that while the reductions may not be radical, they will be substantial. On the other hand, ufacturers contend that stocks in their yards are much lower they were last year, that manufacturing costs are ascending ng to the higher wages, the scarcity and inefficiency of labor, etc. It is also pointed out that the cut in Ontario has fallen far short ying to close down in several instances before the usual ean eee - 1 lh IN rer fe Ail Ue Lele Ls time. It is generally agreed that should there be any unprecedented demand for lumber this fall it would be difficult to meet the call. The majority of mills will close at the end of October and some have already completed their operations for 1923. At many points men for the bush are exceedingly scarce but harvesters from the West are returning and this should tend to relieve the situation te some extent. Eastern representatives of British Columbia mills report that the demand for Western woods is particularly good and this applies, owing to the house-finishing season, to ceiling, flooring, casing, base, V-joint, etc. Shingles are still off in demand and varying in price © and a number of the mills are not operating. They contend that they cannot turn out shingles at the present figuse and make a profit on production. q So far as hardwoods are concerned, the market shows virtually no change. Furniture manufacturers are evidencing a bit more in- — terest in the market and, are buying in limited quantities as trade is — developing to some extent. Sales to industrials in Ontario, however, | are small and fully 90 to 95 per cent. of the hardwouds disposed of are marketed in Buffalo, Detroit and other U. S. consuming centres. Automobile concerns are buying in moderate volume but the fam implement producers, piano factories, gramophone and othe: con- — suming concerns are cautious in their purchasers. Other users are waiting to see how much fall business w ll develop before p acing orders for forward requirements, figuring that, from the amount of early autumn trade they can compute more accurately the probable extent of demands for their products during the next few months. The lath market is rather quiet at the present time particularly | in No. 1 white pine. No. 2 and 32 inch. are having a fair call but owing to the subsidence of building operations, there has not been the active requisition for the product that was anticipated. Spruce — lath from the eastern provinces is enjoying a lively demand in New England points and the price has been stiffening. turers are sending forward large quantities. Just how long the call will keep up is problematical. Some believe that the market will be sustained for several weeks while others look upon the present state of affairs as a flurry. Quebec Export Trade Has Slowed Down The shipment of lumber from the port of Quebec. during the | month of October was insignificant in comparison to earlier expecta-_ tions. orders, practically no shipments were made. This is due to the con- tinued complex European conditions and the reluctance of English importers to purchase to any extent until the European situation manifests more definite signs towards a settlement. The recent export advices received by the Quebec lumber trade from the United — Kingdom agents, while not in the least pessimistic, are not encour- — aging as far as the outlook for any further orders is concerned for the © balance of this season of navigation in the St. Lawrence. y It would be idle to dispute the fact that politics do not figure in the life of trade and commerce especially international politics and that, until the present European situation clears up, the trade of the entire world will continue to remain in a chaotic state. It must, however, be considered from past experience and the trend of events © recorded in history, that the dawn of brighter days have materialized © when the clouds that overspread the horizon were the blackest. This — is the position of things at present in Europe with an occasional rift — in the dark horizon to lend hope for an amelioration of political | conditions and a rejuvenation of trade and commerce with the beginning of 1924. European agents of Quebec exporting firms, in making the deduc- tions from the export students of the world’s politics and its econ- omical viewpoint, are of the opinion that the issue has reached its worst phase and the time has matured when the diplomatic forces — of the European nations must get together to agree on a settlement — with give and take concessions and sacrifice in the interests of the economic life of the world. One of the barometers in the present chaos is the wonderful susceptibility of the stock markets and the readiness with which they respond to the slightest sign or hope of a settlement of the reparations dispute to show the importance which the business men in the United Kingdom attach to this Franco- Belgo German problem. It must be admitted, from past and present experience, that all trades are dominated by politics, and international business can only ne oa All the manufac- With the exception of a few parcels called for the complete — pT IE LN TAY Tr i CANADA LUMBERMAN nterested in Hardwood Flooring Machinery?

Dear Sirs: In reference to the No. 77A Hardwood flooring machine we installed this spring—we have nothing to say of this machine but that which is the very best. In fact, since it was put into the mill we have heard very little of it. On looking up the records of work this machine is doing we find it has been running continuously on 3%” and 7%” flooring, and. we have had no repair bills whatever. We are somewhat cramped for room and have not been able to run this machine to its capacity. | In reference to the quality of work this machine is doing—we feel we are making one of the best products on the market to-day and see no reason why this unit, with proper attention, should not keep up this good work. One of the reasons for acetate this type of machine. was from the fact that about ten years ago we installed a machine of the same type, No. 77, Softwood and if this Hardwood The leading Canadian and United States Manufacturers are using our machines.

The foreign exchanges ‘are so upset by alarms in the political world that trades are bothered to know from day to day, in England especially, whether or not their transactions will result in profit or loss. The importing timber trade in Great Britain is no exception and this cannot be otherwise. In the meantime the consumption of sawn lumber for house- continental wood-producing countries are the largest companies and not Canada. However, in this connection it must be considered that ‘price is the predominating feature with the advantages in favor of Scandinavian shippers. It is well for the Canadian trade to compre- hend that there is no sentiment in business and the British import lumber trade will buy their supplies from the cheapest market. The British trade journals feature the selling and general activities of ‘these foreign markets taking little notice of the Canadian lumber interests. The British Empire Forestry Congress recently held in Ottawa, after the British delegates had made a tour of the various Cana- dian provinces to inspect and take cognizancé of the forest resources of Canada at their final session and the drafting of resolutions among the recommendations made, expressed the opinion “That the British Empire requirements of timber and other forest products should be supplied to the greatest possible extent from sources within the _ Empire and that it should become self supporting in all forest pro- ducts.” It will remain to be seen what effect this recommendation will have on the British wood purchasing public and the British ‘steamship owners in the regulation of their ocean freight rates to enable the Canadian lumber trade to enter the United Kingdom mar- ket in competition with the wood-selling interests of Russia, Finland and Sweden. - October, the Canadian export trade may receive cable orders for _ shipment during the early part of November. The British agents, looking after Canadian lumber interests, in their latest reports to Quebec shipping firms, convey the information that a brisker tone was noticeable from the beginning of October in the English market in all its departments, f.o.b. negotiations more active and more con- tracts closed. Importers were selling with greater freedom and the - consumption was well maintained, and London firms have turned over a good quantity of their c.i.. terms. The spot trade has also _ been brisk and landed values likely to further rise while all car- goes that have arrived and supplies for prompt delivery are _ wanted in a hurry. ' _ As regards purchasing for the late autumn, the position in Eng- _ land according to these export reports, is not so difficult. A firm _ market now is in the interest of the English buyers as well as the _ sellers and the majority of the importers would be surprised to see _ anything in the nature of a slump so late in the season. Such an _ event is not considered at all probable and importers feel that in _ booking up their winter requirements at current figures, they are not incurring risk. As to the future and prices for next year, there is a great divergence of opinion in the minds of the English importers. In the meantime reports from all quarters of England show that spot values are _ tending upward. Some purchasers in the import trade say they _ expect to see early quotations for next year reach the present top _ figures for next year’s business but do not intend to purchase early on such basis. The British demand may be put down as satisfac- _ tory and likely to remain so but there is the political situation to _ influence prospects as these naturally influence exchanges, either in the direction of stability or otherwise, especially, when the whole of _ the present season is looked into and diagnosed. Europe seemed _ to be on the verge of financial chaos and even of war and yet one crisis after another has been overcome. Fresh troubles have again _ arisen to retard progress toward stable conditions which, however, are not without hope. Nevertheless the economic and political experts in England believe that the change for the better will be extremely gradual. But taking the widest possible view of the mar- ket, the present situation is likely to close without any great altera- tion in f.0.b. values and that for 1924 the British expect to maintain this year’s basis with the hope, however, of a near settlement of the ‘teparations question to accentuate and put new life in the lumber _ business. Spruce Deals Shipped to South Africa The SS “Calumet” sailed from Montreal for South African ports, ¢ Town, Durban and Elizabethtown, on October 20, taking about 0,000 ft. b.m., of spruce deals. This is quite a fair shipment as recently orders have been scarce for South African ports. The ship- ment is made for New York accounts. Canadians would like to see mber going forward to the sister colony but competition from oe Aes as ae” ; fe» Nad A - 4 i FS ee x ry te eee building is to some extent an encouragement but in this regard the | It is quite possible that, before the close of the month of - CANADA LUMBERMAN . 63 the spruce countries is evidently too keen. The trade from Canada to South Africa was first started about 1900, and the largest ship- pers at that time were Messrs. Robert Cox & Co., who sent forward some good consignments of red pine, this lumber being suitable to stand the Suoth African climate. Unfortunately the first season’s business resulted in a heavy loss of some thousands of pounds ster- ling and the trade was afterwards conducted from their Liverpool yards. Freight rates to South Africa have always been kept at a reason- able level. Even during the war when everything was inflated, the Elder Dempster Line maintained a solid policy, with the consequence that there has never been drastic competition. Canadian Woods on British Market According to the latest information set forth in Farnworth & Jardine’s letter from Liverpool, Eng., imports all around during the past month have been moderate and with a fairly large consumption, the stocks did not change much. Business on the whole ruled quiet and values generally were a shade easier. In regard to the market for Canadian woods in the Old Country, the following information is presented :— Quebec, etc., Yellow Pine Timber.—There was a small amount of business done leaving stocks practically on a par with this time last year. Waney Pine.—First-Class—An import of 25,000 cubic feet to Manchester on contract. Consumption small. Stocks are not excessive. Second-Class——Only a small movement noticeable. — Stocks are sufficient. Square Pine, Red Pine—No demand. Oak.— © Import and consumption were both 1,000 cubic feet. Stocks are not heavy. Elm.—Stocks very light and there should be an opening for suitable wood. Pine Deals—There was a considerable import. Con- sumption on the small side, therefore stocks are increased and stand about the same as twelve months ago. Spruce—.A small import by Liner.

What Lumber Industry Means to Coast According to the report of the department of labor, Victoria, B. C., for 1922 lumber concerns to the number of 667 paid out in wages $23,827,204, as against $18,180,962 paid by 533 firms in 1921. Altogether the forest products industries payrolls were as under: ieee Se Owe ater a har Oe hres $23,827,204 Lah JC Meh 8 ela} 290,35 RS AR A ae NR Raa 3,639,689 Wood manutactite (NIE SUR Sei ae, 1,045,914 pincueallh Siehee ta, Cie drnee ube t at Sot eee. os $28,512,794 The total wages payments by all industries in British Columbia amounted to $86,192,190 (2809 firms reporting). The forest products industries thus are responsible for over 30 per cent. of the province’s payroll. As regards labor, the average number of workers in the lumber industry during any month was about 19,100; in the pulp and paper industry 2150 and in other branches of woodworking 750, making a total monthly average of 22,000 males. In all the provincial indus- tries the average number of workers engaged was about 54,000 males (2809 firms reporting.) The forest product industries therefore em- ploy about forty per cent. of the province’s male industrial population. For the purposes of classification lumbering includes logging, logging railways, planing mills, sawmills, and shingle mills. Under wood manufacturing (N.E.S.) are grouped sash and door, veneer box manufacturers, etc. A. T. Murchie, chief scaler of the Department of Lands and Mines, who returned lately to Fredericton from a visit to Charlo. Restigouche county, N.B., said that there was still a shortage of woodsmen in that section of the province, although some of the har- vesters have commenced to return from the West. Woodsmen are also being attracted to the provinces of Quebec and Ontario, he said lured by the reports of high wages. ’ CANADA LUMBERMAN eee rae STS ORT e RT Te l KI fe TERS Sere é e: aoe Linn Logging Tractor equipped with 15-ton Semi-trailer for Portaging of Supplies », LINN LOGGING TRACTOR In addition to the cutting of his timber, the hauling of his logs, his spring drive and his improve- ments, the portaging of supplies is of prime importance to the logger. Portaging with horses is expensive and slow. The above illustration shows the Linn Logging Tractor with summer steerage wheels attached, prepared for summer portaging work, with a semi-trailer mounted upon its rear bolster. This trailer can be 16 or 18 ft. long and of a width necessary to permit the carrying of large quantit- ies of baled hay, oats, or general camp supplies. The Linn Logging Tractor can of course be equipped with a body on its own frame, which can be 13 ft. long and over 6 ft. wide, but as the carrying capacity of the Linn Logging Tractor is limited to 10 tons on its own body, the use of this semi-trailer enables an additional 5 tons to be carried. Linn Logging Tractors have demonstrated their usefulness to the logger, and in the realm of portaging the Linn Logging Tractor fulfills an equally important part. We will be pleased to discuss the merits of this Linn portaging outfit and we can supply this equipment to users of Linn Logging Tractors who have been using their machines for two or three years. ‘“‘Ask the logger who uses one’”’ —Logging Department — MUSSENS LIMITED Philips Place Building Montreal a1 ’ “ ° e . * * _ Minister Promises Adequate Pulpwood Limits cm Hon. James Lyons, Minister of Lands and Forests for Ontario, ho is touring the north country, was recently tendered a dinner he Shuniah Club, Port Arthur, when several hundred members of the Chamber of Commerce were present. _ Mr. Lyons said that adequate provision would be made for future extensions in regard to pulpwood limits for the necessary expansion of the pulp and paper industries of Port Arthur and Fort William. The province intended to take care of its existing mills. _ Mote limits would. be required. These would not be placed on the market immediately but, after a general survey of the timber and waterpowers of Ontario had been made. Foleyet, Sioux Lookout, Bigace and other places were looking for industries. Dealing with forest fires, Mr. Lyons said that they had 1200 men fighting fires in Ontario during the past season along with four aeroplanes, involving an expenditure of $1,070,000. The government was going as far as it could in protecting the north country. . The Minister predicted that within twenty-five years north of the C.P.R. there would be greater wealth developed than to the _ south. Not fifteen per cent of the resources of the north had as yet been developed. ey - Says Embargo Would Check Colonization __ F. Charpentier, of Hearst, Ont., in reviewing the present pulp- wood situation, says:—“The proposed embargo does not seem to _ make American buyers more anxious to buy wood in this district or _ to rush the market. I know that if that embargo would go into effect, it would hold back colonization of the north country for many years, for the only way of earning, or, in other words, the only _ chance a settler has of making a little money at home and being able to clear up his land is in cutting pulpwood. Without the com- _ petition of the American market, settlers would receive very little _ for their wood and a little less means that they could not earn their “There are now two American companies around here. They are the Port Huron Sulphite Co., of Port Huron, Mich., and the _ Munising Paper Co., of Munising, Mich. I am purchaser of wood _ for the former and I understand the latter has recently closed a , We have the Lake Superior Pulp Co., of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., as a Canadian buyer. The price _ offered for pulpwood now is $7.00 per cord, f.o.b. on car, and unless _ there is an advance, there will not be as much wood cut this year as ‘usual, for labor and bushmen are scarce and expensive. There was ~ about 30,000 cords of wood cut in this locality last season and by present appearances not more than 25,000 cords will be taken out his season.” contract here for some 9,000 cords. -s More Witnesses Oppose Pulpwood Embargo __ The Royal Commission on pulpwood recently held a session in ‘Fredericton, N.B. Among the witnesses were Gordon Grant, of Fredericton, a pulpwood buyer for the Eastern Pulp Co., who said he was opposed to the proposed embargo, his reason being that it would seriously affect many small farmers who made a considerable _ R. B. Hanson, M. P. for York-Sunbury favored conservation and the manufacture in Canada but opposed the embargo at the present. Pulpwood was produced by small settlers and an embargo would deprive them of a market when farm products generaly were low in price. With proper fire protection there was an avail- ible pulpwood supply for a long time to come. ~ Says That They Have an Axe to Grind _Ina recent letter to the press a correspondent, who signs him- as “Another Lumberman,” declares that he believes in the final is the pulpwood commission will accept only such evidence believe to be honest and of an independent character. He AT ) i iT states that he thas followed the evidence of the different witnesses having due respect to the men, who gave it and has come to the conclusion that as far as the investigation has gone every witness with one or two exceptions, who has argued against putting some restriction on the export of pulpwood, has an axe to grind. ‘The correspondent further says that he has taken the trouble to ask quite a number of lumbermen and they have been practically all emphatic in saying that some measure of restriction should be enac- ted. He concludes :—‘I believe the Commission will act quite inde- pendently, i.e., they will not allow the powerful influences that are at work to influence them in the slightest degree. There are men in Nova Scotia who will not hesitate a moment to sacrifice the public interest, if it will put a dollar in their own pocket; they have done it before and they will do it again.” Belgo-Canadian Company is Expanding Belgo-Canadian Paper Co. established a new record for daily production the other day at Shawinigan Falls, Que., when over 300 tons of newsprint were produced in one day. This will be materially increased when the second of the two newsprint machines that are being installed comes into production towards the end of November. To meet the demands of the extra paper tonnage it has been found necessary to increase the groundwood output and two new groundwood machines. were brought into operation recently, increas- ing the groundwood pulp capacity of the mill by about 40 tons a day. A portion of the extra pulp is now being marketed as such, although the full amount will likely be used in the Belgo plant when the last of the new newsprint machines is running. Something of a record was set up in putting in the new groundwood machines as the contract was only let during the month of August. Another addition to the company’s properties that has just been completed is a spur to bring in logs by rail. The logs brought in in this manner supplement the supplies of pulpwood floated down the St. Maurice river. The spur track is something new in pulp and paper manufacturing as it runs out over the river where the logs are dumped into the water and carried up the usual system of conveyors to the sawroom and thence through the mill.. Hubert Biermans, president and general-manager of the company, returned from the continent a few days ago. Believes Production Will not be Overdone In a recent expression of his views on the outlook and demand for newsprint, George H. Mead, president of the Spanish River Pulp and Paper Mills, takes a hopeful view and believes that production will not be overdone. He says in part :— “It would be unwise to assume that the coming decade will be covered without some depressions ,and such variations in the busi-: ness as pertain to all lines, but the industry is now in position to properly take care of normal fluctuations. ' “Some fear has been expressed regarding over extension from a production standpoint in the immediate future, and it is, of course, necessary that proper judgment be used in this matter. It is equally important to realize fully that the publishers of the continent are now dependent upon Canada for their increased requirements (fur- ther development in the United States not being possible because of the wood situation), and it is therefore, an obligation to continue development at a sufficient rate to provide for such demand. “A careful analysis of the present situation in the case is that the announced plans for extension during the coming year are about in keeping with the increased requirements over the same period, and it is only necessary for the financial and operating interests of the coun- try to carefully analyze the statistics to determine from year to year what the requirements may be and the rate of new production neces- sary.” “The next person who interrupts the proceedings will be sent home,” said the judge. “Hurray!” said the prisoner. 66 CANADA LUMBERMAN SPRUCE ROUGH OR DRESSED THE EAGLE LUMBER CO.

McCrea, Minister of Mines, left recently on a tour of Northern Ontario where they will enquire into the possibilities of the hinter- land from a_ settlement standpoint and investigate the natural resources of the north Logging operations will be brisk in the north this winter. The North West Lumber Co., which operates at Edmonton, Sask., one of the most modern lumber mills in Canada, is laying plans to cut 30,000,000 feet in 1923. During the past season the cut was a little over half of this amount. The Megantic Pulp & Lumber Co., of Lake Megantic, Ques have closed down their milling operations for the season having sawn all their logs. The cut during the past few months was 4,500,000 feet. The company will operate two corps during sk coming winter in the Lake Megantic district. The big drying and storage shed of the Heaps Ladaben Cox on Burritt Inlet, B.C., collapsed recently. The shed was filled with lumber ageregating about 2,000,000 feet. It is estimated that it will cost about $20,000 to replace the building and an additional $5, 000 to remove the debris and recover the lumber stock. A large number of men arrived in Midland, Ont.,recently who had accepted positions in the lumber camps that are now being estab- lished at different points up the bay. It is anticipated that the pre- sent winter will be a fairly busy one in connection with lumbering operations and quite a number of new camps are being put in. \ A serious shortage of woods labor, which is said by lumbermen | to be the worst in many years, exists in the Ottawa Valley, where, — it is estimated, between eight and ten thousand more men are re- quired to fully man the camps of the lumbering and pulpwood com- panies. Only about one-third of the number neguineds to operate: tha pa tee. camps has been engaged and in some instances they have not been enough to build the camps. According to a local employment agent, ‘the lumbering companies in the Ottawa Valley and along the Soo line ordinarily employ about 25,000 men each winter and considerably less than half of the’ men required have so far been secured. The ‘present scale of wages for bushmen is from $40 to $50 per month with board, a considerable increase over last fall when the wages paid were $26 and $30. Robert Beatty, William Cordick, Jonas Trelford, William Wolfe and John Hindman, of Tara, Ont., are inspecting some timber lands about 20 miles from Cochrane which have been opened for settlement by the Crown Lands Department. Major Moffatt, formerly in com- ‘mand of the 160th Bruce Battalion, has erected a pulp mill in-that district. ' London Lumber Co., London, Ont., MacDonnell & Conyers, Ottawa, J. C.

The Satin Finish Hardwood Flooring Limited, Weston, and Builders’ Mould- ing Co., Toronto, have become members under the Associate Mem- bership plan. The Ontario Department of Lands and Forests is calling for tenders for the right to cut the timber part of which has been burned _ in the township of Rennie, district of Sudbury. This is mainly a _ jack pine and tie proposition although there is a certain quantity of -pulpwood on the area. The time for receiving tenders expires on ~ November 5th. Practically the last of the 425 fire rangers and foresters who have been at work during the past summer in the Sudbury district, have completed their season. The ten chief rangers who have charge of _ the territory supervised from the Sudbury office, are still on the job and will be for some time. For several weeks there has been no _ trace of fire in the whole district. The annual meeting of Charles Walmsley & Co. (Canada) Lim- ‘ited was held recently in Montreal and an encouraging report was _ presented. Sir William Price, of Quebec, was re-elected president of _ the company. It was stated that the reconstruction of the plant of the company at Longueuil is now practically completed and the manufacttire of complete pulp and paper mill equipment will begin shortly. g ‘A. J.

While at the Pacific Coast he visited several mills and reportgthat they are all busy and that about 75 per cent. of forest ‘aaen 8 shipments are now made by water. On his.return Mr. Nicholson and Mr. Terry spent several days on a visit to Collins Inlet and other points ‘n the Georgian Bay district. Robert Linton who died recently in Campbellford, Ont., in his “88th year, was one of the pioneer residents of that section of Ont- ario. He located in Campbellford in 1858 and had the distinction of beng a chartered member of the Golden Rule Masonic Lodge which the attended for 65 years. The late Mr. Linton became interested in public affairs and is survived by his widow, two daughters and four sons, one of whom is J. F. Linton, secretary-treasurer of the Peter- boro Lumber Co., Peterboro, Ont. Fear of forest fires destroying the result of silviculture, or the rent to the general practise of reforestation in\Canada. This view is emphasized by the British Empire Forestry Conference in its re- port fittingly issued lately during “Fire Prevention Week.” This teport deals at length with the great need of better fire protection in Canada, the reduction of waste in logging and sawmill operations and the application of more efficient methods of silviculture. D. A. Macdonald, superintendent of forest resources, stated re- cently in Winnipeg that 90 per cent. of all forest fires were preven- table. During the past five years 28,896 forest fires had, occurred in Canada and in that time 10,000,000 acres had been burndd over, with ‘a property loss of $72,000,000, to which, he remarked, one must add Oss of labor and depreciation of soil. He said the purpose of Fire _ Prevention week was to bring to the notice of the general public the _ fact that its hearty co-operation is desired by forest protection auth- : orities in helping keep down forest fires. _ ~The British Columbia government has authorized the expendi- bure of $45,000 dollars for Japanese relief. This money will be used hip lumber and shingles to Japan. The province is sending 000 feet of dimension lumber and 1,000,000 shingles to aid the nstruction of wrecked Japanese cities. Already 135,000 feet has uver in about a week. With the province’s contribution the government will ship 2,000,000 feet of lumber. The provin- overnment’s $45,000 contribution is provided in a special war- treatment and planting of forest fires, is the greatest single deter- ° ‘shipped from Prince Rupert, and the remainder will go from.

MacLEAN BUILDINGREPORTS Ltd 845 Adelaide St. W. - - TORONTO 285 Beaver Hall Hill MONTREAL 825 Main St. - - - WINNIPEG 106 Winch Bldg. - - VANCOUVER Mr. Ferguson Speaks of Northern Timber Hon. G. Howard Ferguson, Premier of Ontario and party, who recently returned from an extended trip to the north, going as far as Moose Factory on James Bay, had a rare opportunity to view the resources of the country from many standpoints. Speaking of the timber prospects, Mr. Ferguson, in an interview said :— The country for 90 or 100 miles beyond the Transcontinental is what is known as the northern clay belt. It is in this tract, and espe- cially along the banks of the rivers that most of the merchantable timber is found. The area farther north and extending to James Bay is called the coastal plain, and in this district there are immense areas of swamp, muskeg and dwarf timber. Only a small portion of this timber is of commercial value, and the cost of operations would be high. From an operating standpoint, Mr. Ferguson said the problem was where mills could be most advantageously located. Logs will not float up-stream, and as these waters all drain into James Bay it means that the wood must be floated north to a central point and there manufactured and the finished product brought out by rail. The fact that all the foliage, except evergreen, had turned color owing to the frost, enabled the party to size up the timber situation better than if the trip by airplane had been taken earlier in the season. Twenty Years Building Operations to Catch Up A gloomy picture of the future in Great Britain if the building conditions remain unimproved was drawn by George Hicks in his presidential address at the opening of the annual conference of Na- tional Federation of Building Trades Operatives at Ilfracombe, Eng. President Hicks said the population was gaining rapidly upon the supply of buildings and it would take twenty years of building operations to catch up if the builders were to give even a tolerable measure of housing accommodation, nevertheless building was going back owing to the bad conditions of the industry. Fathers were ceasing to apprentice their boys to the building trade, President Hicks said, because the wages were so ridiculously low. The nation declined to limit overcrowding and this even- tually would mean desperation and potential barbarism. St. John Lumber Market Continues Quiet There is no apparent change in the lumber situation here during the last two weeks. The demand for various dimensions is light, but prices remain firm. ‘There are indications of renewed activity ater on, this being based on the number of enquiries received by the trade. Many of the leading shippers fee! that later in the fall the demand will be,greater and are therefore not worrying about the present. The demand for laths is daily increasing and the price at the local mills is now being quoted at $6.75. This is an increase of seventy- five cents during the last few weeks. From all indications the demand for laths will be quite heavy from now on. Shingles remain at the same price quoted some time ago although the demand is daily picking up. The cedar extras remain at $6.25, while clears are still being quoted at $5.25. Spruce shingles are still going at $3.25. Greater Precautions in Slash Burning A strong sentiment in favor of the elimination of spring and summer slash burning has been created by the recent disastrous for- est conflagrations in New Brunswick, many of which have been traced to slash burning sources. Residents of many sections of the province, particularly those most seriously affected by forest fires, are demanding greater precautions in the control of slash burning fires. As an example of this public sentiment which has been aroused, the Restigouche County Council, in semi-annual session recently, adopted a resolution in support of the elimination of spring and sum- mer burning and asking the Department of Lands and Mines to take steps in this direction. These demands which are being received from various sources also advocate the supervision of Slash burning under qualified persons during periods when the fire hazard is at a minimum in the Fall. Forestry officials have long ago advocated such steps stating that sooner or later the elimination of burning — during the period mentioned, would become imperative. te More than 100,000 men are engaged in Canada converting forest — products into wealth in some form or other. Nearly 400,000 other — people depend on this “forest army” for their food and shelter. oa. —_— es _! ——— ee ee ee Pio Ame ee Oe tee oe 3 Ce. .. ere’ fe 2er . 4 Ooo See Oe 74 ALPHABETICAL INDEX TO ADVERTISERS Abbotsford Lumber & Mining Co.

LINK- BELT LIMITED (FORMERLY CANADIAN LINK-BELT COMPANY, LIMITED) TORONTO—WELLINGTON AND PETER STREETS MONTREAL—10 GAUVIN LANE LINK-BELT Ne Te SS eee - Py Pioneer and Leader in the industry fada |umberman Recognized Authority for Forty Years J ounded 1880 — Vol. 43 Toronto, November 15, 1923 No. 22 “Should We Make Charge for Delivery?” Here are More Views and Arguments on the Important Item of Handling the Cost of Retail Yard Delivery—Many Constructive Criticisms and Worthwhile Ideas are Included in the Various Opinions of the Dealers In the last issue of the “Canada Lumberman” there was pub- lished some interesting opinions in regard to the delivery of lumber and whether a separate and distinct charge should be made for this service or should the cost be covered in the invoice. The problem oe ye In most cities and towns the haulage charge is included in the sell- ing price. So far as rural deliveries are concerned, most dealers appear to make a specific levy for this work which is generally based on a mileage or time basis. In this edition of the “Canada Lumber- man” further opinions on the question are presented and will be read with much interest. x The Ball Planing Mill Co., of Barrie, Ont., say: We do not find the delivery problem as perplexing in the smaller towns as eND AY PS aie oe =. x _ those in the larger centres would find it. Within the limits of the _ town we deliver without any extra charge being added to our regular retail prices, the charge for delivery being included in our cost. For out-of-town delivery we quote so much a load, based on an estimate of the time and mileage. If a delivered price is asked for, we esti- mate the number of loads and include that in the total estimate. In ¥ a town of this size we have very little trouble with small rush orders. Items of this kind can usually be delivered along with large orders, except in the case of contractors and then it would not be policy on our part to charge them delivery, as the larger orders we + receive from them take care of the smaller ones. = Give Customers Lump Estimate % The Sandwich Lumber Co., of Sandwich, Ont., of which A. W. § Osborne is manager, say that the cost of cartage is a very important % item which sometimes amounts to more than the cost of the mate- _ rial being delivered. About six years ago the Sandwich Lumber Co., who are successors to the Naylor-Osborne Co., made a specific charge for small deliveries in town but they found that by doing this, they were losing business, hence had to change their tactics to overcome the difficulty. They now give their customers a lump ‘estimate which includes a portion of the delivery charge. All deliveries in the country are taken care of in the same way as the small lots in towns, and as all charges are figured in overhead, the firm do not find it necessary to make a specific levy for delivering in large quantities. A. L. McDermid & Co., Apple Hill, Ont., say: “We do not make a special charge for delivery but simply include it in our cost ‘when making our selling prices. In a few cases when the distance - is too far we then make a charge ample enough to cover expense. _ We have been delivering out of town for six or seven miles as a - rule and at an odd time, if the order is large enough, we might go a little farther without making any additional cost. We find that since we started delivering out of town, our orders have increased _ considerably. Apple Hill being a small place, we could not confine our delivery to it alone as it would not pay us. i R. W. Nicholson, of Strathroy, Ont-, says he does not charge ESRB Ee aes is ch Hts Se, . and the cost of carrying is always added to the selling price. In a case where customers wish only a small amount delivered as a bushel of lime, a bundle of lath or moulding, Mr. Nicholson says ie charges a little extra for the article. He has practically nothing deliver outside the corporation as the farmers haul their own mber. . The S. Anglin Co., Kingston, go thoroughly into the question of lelivery and say:—‘“It has always been our custom to make a - , . is one that causes much perplexity and anxiety in different centres. anything for delivering lumber or coal inside the corporation limits - separate charge for delivery excepting on coal when the price quoted includes delivery within the city limits. When we send coal out of the city limits, we make a levy according to distance. Our prices for cement also include delivery, a custom in vogue among hard- ware men who handle this line but it is quite understood that delivery on cement is for full cartloads. Delivered prices do not apply on orders for less than five barrels. “In regard to lumber and builders’ supplies, we make a mini- mum charge of 25 cents for small deliveries and in sending out orders we try to arrange that three or four go out at one time. ‘making to each customer a small charge sufficient to cover the trip. For deliveries of lumber and builders’ supplies outside the city, we charge, for a three ton truck 50c per mile going and returning- For a two ton truck, the charge is 40c per mile including return trip. We do not tell our customers how this is figured up but assess the charge ourselves, on this basis. We occasionally have customers coming in, who pretend to be very much surprised because of the delivery charges and we tell them that we keep our horses and trucks for their accommodation and are not trying to make a profit on our delivery equipment. Furthermore, customers are perfectly welcome to engage other deliveries if they wish to do so. . We also tell them that we cannot maintain six horses and five trucks anu drivers, on wind. They require considerable hay, oats, gasoline, o.] and tires and these cost money, therefore, we have to make a delivery charge. All our prices are based on goods at the yards or mills and the cartage is assessed at cost. We contend that this is the fairest way to dealer and customer alike and that each customer pzys exactly for the service he receives. The Bryan Manufacturing Co., of Collingwood:—“We do not make any charge for delivery inside of the town limits but make a small charge to cover actual cost of deliveries by truck out of town. We do not figure on making any profit out of this end of our business.” Making Up Commercial Burden John McGibbon of. Sarnia, Ont., writes:—“It costs us about $6,000 a year for the men and teams delivering lumber or around $20 per day which is quite an item to take from the profits. We would not mind delivering large orders but we had a case in point recently where a man ordered one plank to be sent half a mile and by the time we delivered it, we might as well have given him the lumber. This state of affairs happens quite frequently. We are in the central part of the city which makes the distance compara- tively short for delivery but just the same it is a great drain on profit.” The Angus-Keefer Co., of Belleville, Ont., say that they make a practice there of charging cartage and on any order outside the city limits they have a set charge of so much per mile. In the case of an order which will take 12,000 to 15,000 feet this is delivered without a cartage charge. Where a customer wants only a few boards or small quantity of any material he is advised by the firm that there will be a cartage charge added to his invoice. Robert Stewart Co., Limited, of Guelph, Ont., of which E. M. Stewart is president, say they operate six motor trucks. The cost of operating the same is taken care of in the commercial burden of the farm. In making up this burden the followng items appear: Value of investment and equipment used for delivery of our pro- ducts, trucks, company’s car, gasoline tank as per ledger. Depreciation of 25% of full value as above on the above investment: 40 CANADA LUMBERMAN N: Re ak Total premium for insurance on above equipment as per ledger. Cost of truck upkeep for year 1922, this includes gasoline and tires. Actual wages of delivery crew (truck drivers) paid during year 1922. Our percentage of commercial burden, as you know, adds Mr. Stewart, depends on the bulk of our sales, therefore we charge nothing on the price set for our different materials for delivery within the city limits; for delivery outside these limits, we charge fiity cents per mile, each way, or one dollar per mile, one way, the distance computed from our speedometer. In our estimation, it is absolutely impossible to set the cost of operation at a flat rate, for as we stated before, the percentage of cost depends absolutely on your turn over. As there are so many different items in connection with commercial burden, depending on this, unless the average small town lumber dealer can be educated to operate on an absolute cost basis, instead of at random, there will always be a big difference in opinion in delivery cost as well as different manufacturing costs. We might state that we are members of the millwork cost bureau and we find that their basis of arriving at the cost can be applied with the greatest of satisfaction to all sizes of retail lumber concerns. On account of operating the number of trucks we do, we find that it has paid us to keep our own mechanic, whose duties are to have these trucks in running order, as nearly as possible at all times. Our experience has been that the average so-called mechanic in a garage is in many cases, unqualified for this position and whether the work is satisfactory or not, the truck owner has to pay the shot. Of course, we have our own tank, thereby saving considerably on the cost of our gasoline. Each truck is charged with the amount of gas consumed, thus enabling us, on the basis of mileage, to dis- criminate betwen the careful and careless truck driver. _ All. Deliveries Free of Charge The Vigars-Shear Lumber Co., whose head office is at Port Arthur, Ont., declare that it has always been the custom in. the cities of Fort William and Port Arthur to make all deliveries free of charge. G. F. Clarkson, manager of the company, adds:—“We cannot say that the prices asked for our lumber really include the cost of delivery. We think they do not and further we feel quite ‘sure that no other cities in Canada are giving the service on deliy- eries such as is the case at the head of the lakes. Deliveries are made into the surrounding country free of charge where the distance is not more than two or three miles from the yard. On points three to ten miles out deliveries are carried on special terms. Regarding deliveries of small quantities of material, we endeavor to take care of these orders and usually are able to have them in the hands of customers within an hour or two after the placing of the order.” James Davidson’s Sons, Ottawa, say that the lumber dealers in the capital do not make any charge for delivery of material on any job. A’ few years ago they had arranged to charge a rate of 50 cents per M, but latterly this has been done away with owing to competition. In regard to out-of-town deliveries, if the stock goes by rail the price is either f.o.b. Ottawa, or a certain amount is added to cover freight, and in delivering material to the suburbs if it takes half a day to deliver the stock and return, the firm charge $5.00 and for a whole day $10.00. Ingleby-Taylor Co. Limited, of Brantford, Ont., say they do not make a separate charge for city deliveries but do charge for deliveries which they make in the country according to distance. With respect to persons who want a few boards, they try to include the delivery of small lots with other orders going in that direction and ayoid making a special trip. Whole Question Complex One Laird Bros., of Dresden, say that the whole question of delivery is rather a complex one as the system which they follow at present in Dresden does not meet the conditions in other places, particularly where retailers do not care for their opponents in the same line. Laird Bros. make free delivery inside the corporation but make a charge where cartage is outside the town limits. Free. delivery seems to have become a custom and is a service that the dealer does not get pay for. The firm are of the opinion that free delivery arose in the retail lumber ranks from persons being anxious to sell even at a loss. “Personally we are of the opinion that no delivery should be made without a charge. It is difficult, however, to tell how it can be over- come unless the dealers can be depended upon to arrive at a mutual understanding within the others’ territory. Deliveries of small jags are made that do not justify such a service and the parties, who want a few boards sent up immediately, no matter what the cost is to the dealer, are imposing upon his good nature, and yet the dealer ‘bundle of flooring, we deliver these and do not make an extra to free delivery. ¥ frequently yields. We could,’ concluded the firm, “enlarge upon this matter a great deal and cite cases where deliveries are made that do not in the least justify the act.” ; a Barrett Bros., of Ottawa, state that they do not make an extra © charge for delivery of material. .The price of the goods ordered is © supposed to cover the cost of delivery within the city limits. Outside | of the corporation boundaries the firm charge according to distance. — .The Evans Co., of Sudbury, Ont., observe—We include our delivery with our listed prices except when a delivery is: out of town, when we charge regular teaming rates. We have tried both ideas and find this is the only one that is workable. When a man wants a bunch of lath sent a mile or more we ask him to come for the bunch or wait until there is a truck going his direction. We find the delivery situation applies to the retail lumbermen just as it does to | the butcher and the baker and has to be included in the price of the finished product. k J. P. Abel-Fortin Limitee, Montreal, declare that the question — of delivery with most retailers is not quite clear. When making — delivery in town this firm include as a rule delivery fees in their selling price, but for all outside deliveries they charge according to distance. On small lots they generally make special cartage charge and their selling price is based in proportion. They would much prefer in every instance to make a specific charge the same to be added on invoices, charging so much for delivery, either per load or per M feet for all the lumber to be carted. ; Sold Delivered on the Job The Builders Moulding Co., Limited, Toronto, say that flooring — and interior trim is sold delivered on the job in the city. The selling | price includes the cost of delivery. Regarding occasional cases where customers ask for a small delivery of a few boards or a small — charge, but this is a costly operation. However, we feel it is neces- sary in order to give service. We might say that frequently our trucks will be going in the direction where the delivery is to be made and consequently the delivery charge is very small. If you could work out some plan whereby manufacturers or shippers could ~ have a uniform system regarding these special deliveries, it would be of benefit and a saving to all concerned, as there is no doubt but ~ that some people take advantage of good nature to the cost of the shipper. The John Carew Lumber Co., of Lindsay, Ont., remark:—The question whether retailers should charge for delivery has been up © very often. There was a time when we made a minimum charge of 25c for delivering very small loads and $1.00 per M. for loads of — 500 ft. or over, but owing to competitors cutting out this charge we ~ were also compelled to do it. At the present time we are not charg- ~ ing for any local deliveries whatever, although there are times when ~ delivery of a small piece costs as much as we get for same, and we feel that there should be a charge made for all deliveries. For deliveries made outside of town we charge $3.00 per M. up to 10 miles and $5.00 per M from 10 to 20 miles. Could Sell for Less if no Delivery W. H. Harrison, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont., who deals in build- ing material, etc., says that he adds on an average 20 per cent to the cost of lumber, f.o.b. station, and delivers for this price inside the town limits and a short distance beyond, all orders large and — small. If a customer some distance away asks for delivery, say over two miles, he delivers only when the order would make a full load. On orders less than full loads he adds from $1 to $3 for the trip according to distance. “I believe the cost of delivery is included in the selling price here as, for instance, mill run hemlock is quoted now at $36, f.o.b. Niagara-on-the-Lake, adding 20 per cent, which makes $43.20 our selling price on good-sized orders, and $45 on small ~ orders delivered in each case.” 4 _ Continuing, Mr. Harrison says:—‘Ifi we cut out delivery all together we would not have to keep delivery trucks or teams and could or would sell one to three dollars cheaper per thousand. Prices here on orders for building material to be delivered in the country, are regulated greatly by our competitors prices in St. | Catharines and Niagara Falls. We find that, although we work on | a 20% basis, their tenders are frequently 10%. below ours. This latter margin leaves no profit, and must be pretty much like or close. In case we meet outside competitors prices for | country trade we sell on a 10% margin which leaves no profit and the delivery cost must be paid by profits on some other orders or out of some other branch of our business. In case a farmer brings \| in his team for a load of lumber we would not make any reduction unless the bill was a fair sized one, say one hundred dollars or more. On very small orders, a few boards or few bundles of lath or — shingles, we’ do try to get a few cents more to cover costs of — haulage.” : . F bit 4s, COE a’ How to get at the cost of lumber is always an interesting topic with manufacturers. In the Annual Number of the “Canada Lum- an” appeared a timely and instructive article on how represen- ive manufacturers arrived at the cost of the product turned out in e sawmills. An outline was given of the different systems employed. This as in response to a query received from a manufacturer, who said that he was running a lumber business with a sawmill in which he had a lath machine, box plant, shingle machine, and planing mill, and the wood waste from the mill was sold for firewood purposes and delivered by teams. He said that, to arrive at the cost of the long umber and the piling of it on the ‘wharf, he deducted from the total wages paid at the mill, the wages of the planing mill, lath machine, “5 shingle machine and wages of the men engaged in cutting the wood Be: and also the teamsters and teams delivery, debiting these to accounts | kept for each of these items, thus showing the actual cost to turn out long lumber. The manufacturer stated that this method had been called into question by some manufacturers who said that was not the way to figure out the long lumber but that the whole cost of the wages of the mill, including lath machine, firewood and planing plant, should | be added, and that these others, being by-products, should not be con- | sidered in arriving at the other cost. In a recent letter to the “Canada Lumberman,” J. A. Fraser, head of the Pine Lake Lumber Co., Limited, Pickerel, Ont., said that the problem outlined raises a large question, viz., “How much. detail in | bookkeeping pays?” | £“‘Any business man,’ continues Mr. Fraser is mainly concerned with how much money he can make at the business he is engaged | i and the best index to the amount of money he is making, is ‘the amount of cash or assets easily realized on which he has at the end | of one year as compared with any previous year. The main object of bookkeeping is to give him always a true statement of his obliga- tions and a record of amounts due him so that he can pay all amounts due correctly and only once and similarly collect all amounts owing to him when due. “Your correspondent says that he deducts from the total wages paid at the mill the wages paid at the planing mill, lath mill, shingle | and other side industries and that this method has been questioned by others who figure that the whole cost of the wages of the mill should be charged to the manufacture of the lumber. This second method would be manifestly unfair as the lumber could be produced without these extra expenses and the ‘by-products of the sawmill could in most mills be disposed of without any extra cost, certainly in all mills equipped with a burner. At that way of pelculating the cost of the long lumber, his total output of lath, shingles, and other by-products “would be clear profit. - “T do not believe that anything is gained by too much detail in bookkeeping around a sawmill plant, but that if a mill owner wishes to know exactly what the long lumber is costing him to manufac- ture, he should charge the wages in the sawmill to lumber sawing account, and similarly with his lath mill, planing mill, and shnigle mill, and apportion the repairs and maintenance cost of the mill mong these different accounts at the actual cost, if he is able to keep tract of that, to each division or in any way that seems most fair to himself. _ “He will also have to settle whether he should charge each of these plants which use by-products of the mill, with the raw mater- s or not. This charge would vary at every mill depending on whether he can find a sale for all of his slabwood and the prices which the slabwood would command if he can sell it. vs “Another factor that would effect costs on the separate parts of peration would be power costs. In most mills, there is a central er plant and wages of engineer and foreman as well as of main- en nce of power plant Should be subdivided among the different ”? Pit is quite conceivable that if this plan were followed and every- ng charged up to the different operations that some parts of the ation might show a loss on the books while actually they were tibuting to the success of the business. ° One mill owner might say that he was producing lath cheaper nother and selling them at a higher price than the second man, erst man a cuent be: losing money and the second man making i cat seh | CANADA LUMBERMAN 41 Vay to Get at Cost of Producing Long Lumber "Northern Lumberman Says that the Problem Outlined Raises Large Question as to How Much Detail in Book-keeping Really Pays money through the production of lath, for the reason that the first man will be able to sell his slabwood through large local demand at a price which would pay him better than manufacture of lath. The second man might have no market whatever for slabwood and, through the manufacture of lath not only be finding a market for his slabwood but saving himself considerable expense in getting rid of it because he was not equipped with the burner. “Conditions vary so widely at different plants in the lumber in- dustry that cost sheets are not of as much value as they may be in some other industry. It is quite conceivable that sawing costs might be higher in a plant that was well managed than in another plant not so efficiently managed, but where, owing to labor supply or natural advantages for handling both logs and lumber, the costs may be less. “In general, the lumber manufacturer gains more by trying to increase the output of the plants which he already has or studying how he can get equal or greater production with a smaller number of men, by changing his methods or altering his plant. In short, study your operation more and your books less.” Saving Forests by Prolonging Wood Life An interesting address was given at the last meeting of the Montreal Branch of the Engineering Institute of Canada, on Nov- ember lst, by Richard V. Look, president of the Canada Creosoting o., Toronto. ‘The main point of Mr. Look’s paper was the large saving that is being effected by the use of creosoting woods for rail- way purposes, principally, of course, in railway ties which, he stated, meant a saving of two to three million ties per annum which did not take into consideration the saving effected in such material as tele- phone poles, piling lumber, bridge timbers and other work of a similar character which was subject to weather exposure—such as fence posts. The saving effected by the creosoting process ran from 30 to 70 per cent. and in the case of railway ties, much more, it being estimated as high as four times greater than the ordinary tie. Another instructive feature brought out by the speaker was the use of creosoted poles for grapevine supports, where not only was the lite of the pole prolonged but the creosote acted as a protection for the vine against all forms of fungus and also parasites, thus helping to prolong the life of the vine as well as the poles used for supports. Mr. Look also brought out the saving effected by the use of in- ferior woods which after treatment by creosoting methods, were found to be as effective and as lasting as the more expensive material. In conclusion, he referred to the two particular processes of creosoting, the superficial.method of application by brush only and secondly the more intensive process of impregnation so that all the fibres of the wood were thoroughly treated. This last process cost as high as seventy and even one hundred per cent. of the lumber itself, but taking into account the extra length of life given to the material and the economy effected in the way of replacement costs, it had proved a real saving. Montreal Wholesalers’ and Retailers’ Controversy The controversy now going on between the wholesale and retail lumbermen in Montreal has not yet been settled and a diversity of views continues to prevail between the two sections of the trade as to whom each section may properly sell to. A meeting for the dis- cussion of the situation was called by the Montreal Retail Lumber | Dealers’ Association on Wednesday evening Oct. 31, last, but evid- ently someone had overlooked the fact that this was Halloween night, with the result that not anywhere near a quorum turned up and the meeting was adjourned to a later date. Meantime the Wholesale Association has issued the following circular to all sawmill owners throughout Canada :— We take the liberty of sending you a list of all members of this Association, with the request that you will first communicate with such members when you have lumber lumber or other forest products to offer. This course, we believe will be to the benefit of both saw mill owners and members to this Association whose interests are so in- timately connected with one another, and we think it advisable that the close connections hitherto existing between these branches of the trade shall remain undisturbed. 42 CANADA LUMBERMAN Retailers Have Had Undesirable Dealings— Co- “operative Spirit. The Niagara Peninsula Branch of the Ontario Retail Lumber Dealers Association, held an enthusiastic gathering when the dealers of the district gathered in the commodious offices of the ‘William Shirton Co., Dunnville, on October 27th. The session was marked by splendid spirit and the great interest evinced in the discussions. Several important suggestions were placed on record which will render the succeeding meetings even more interesting than those in the past have been. Owing to the unavoidable absence of James Harriman, recently elected chairman, S. L. Lambert, of Welland presided. He opened the proceedings by talking briefly on the value of retail lumber deal- ers uniting their efforts in protecting their business from unscrupul- ous customers. He was very warm in his praise or the work that had been done by the O.R.L.D.A. in bringing about reforms in the Mechanics’ Lien Act which now offered the building supply men a far better measure of protection than before. Mr. Lambert told the members that already the efforts of the association with the Act had saved him money on a recent case for the simple reason that the judge was permitted to use his common sense. Another similar case was pending, he said, and by putting the property up for sale would protect himself from any fictitious valuation. The next problem of discussion was that old friend of retail lum- ber dealers, the bad-pay customer. K. J. Shirton, of Dunnville, open- ed the subject on collections and explained how he came to be a past master at devising ways of trying to get customers to cash in for value received. He emphasized the word “trying” because that was where he shone and not in getting the money. He kept note of these kinds of customers by classifying them as poor, bad, and dis- puted and in this way had a ready reference in knowing what sort of heavy artillery to use. The column headed “disputed” accom- modated the names of customers who declared they had never re- ceived the materials on the bill. This opened up an interesting talk on the various methods of getting the goods signed for when they are delivered. Everyone present agreed that the method of having a drivér’s delivery book was not a reliable one as the book was often lost and all the signatures with it. Getting Receipts of Delivery S. L. Lambert explained that he had purchased a small machine which bby the use of carbon paper, writes three copies and the original could be torn off and handed to the driver. This was found to be ar improvement on giving the delivery man a carbon copy which often gets smudged and rendered illegible. Each morning, said Mr. Lam- bert, the girl in our office goes over the deliveries of the preceding day and sees that the customers’ signatures have been obtained as a receipt for the delivery of the goods. If the goods have been deliver- ed to a certain location but no signature could be obtained, the cus- tomer is notified of the fact immediately. In recording the deliveries of materials in this manner the customer is protected as well as the dealer and there can be no room for disputes which cause ill feel- ings on both sides. In further consideration of the best steps to take toward bring- ing the slow-pays to a realization of their debt, several methods used by dealers present at the meeting were discussed. K. J. Shirton, dis- played the various forms used by his company. Some were printed forms and others were stickers with a flew well-chosen words. The latter were attached to the statement drawing the attention of the customer to the amount outstanding. It was the idea of some of those present that a personal letter in the dealer’s own handwriting or a typewritten letter with a few lines added at the bottom by the personal hand of the dealer, brought the best results. It must be admitted that more attention is paid to the personal communication rather than the form one which is more or less regarded by the customer as a half-hearted attempt to get, the cash and it is therefore, not taken seriously. Ability of the Farmer to Pay In discussing the different classes of customers and their ability or willingness to pay, the farmer was declared to be a good customer by several dealers. This may be contrary to the ideas of! some retail lumber dealers who find farmers hard to deal with. But it was point- ed out that the Bie in most cases like to have the cash to pay for lumber which they need. This ranks them ahead of the spec or other parties who buy on credit. ; In touching upon the subject of credits most of the me els declared they had accounts on their books that they would never be able to collect. Secretary Boultbee of Toronto pointed out the vantage of exchanging these names and so protect one another f these unscrupulous people. These kind of men moved from place place to buy their materials and the sooner a tag was pl uw them the better for everybody. It was decided that each member should compile his own list of bad pays and bring them along to the next meeting. These nan would be handed to the local secretary, A. D. Wise of St. Catharin who, with the help of Secretary Boultbee, would arrange the list circularizing the yardmen of the district. Each month an impor item of the program will be the bringing of any new names of peo with who the retailers have had undesirable dealings. This co-op tion among retailers in exchanging their bad accounts will ha lasting impression upon the dishonest buyer of material and ° teach that class to recognize the unity of the retail lumber business. Will Issue Member Cards. After other subjects of interest to the retail yardmen, the turned to the idea of putting the Niagara Branch of the O.R.L. on an even better footing, so as to make it really attractive to t who have not yet attended the lively gatherings. John Davis, of the Davis Lumber ‘Co., St. Catharines, moved that the branch associa- tion order printed stationery with the names of the officers in the letterhead. Membership cards should also be ordered so that when a new member was asked to join there was something tangible to offer him. J. G. Morningstar, of Welland, seconded the motion. Anumber of other good suggestions were made by Secretar Horace Boultbee, in reference to circularizing the members with minimum of work for the local secretary. Printed cards giving date, place and principal topic of discussion will not only be a b ness-like method of announcing the meetings, but will be systema and easy to handle. With these facilities, each member will tal few membership cards and call on the other dealers of their dis or town and invite-them to come to the monthly ‘meetings ai d enjoy the discussions. / : The next meeting of the Niagara Peninsula Branch of the OR LDA. willbe held ar the Clifton Inn, Niagara Falls, on Saturday afternoon December 1. The gathering will take the form of a lunch h- eon and the discussions will follow the repast. Millwork Men Hold Joint Conference L. C. Thomas, secretary of the Vancouver Lumber Co., spoke on cost accounting, dwelling on the desirability of the trade arri at uniformity in costs and in methods of figuring them out, at joint convention of the Pacific Northwest Millwork Association and the B. C. Woodworkers Association held lately in Vancouver. — E. C. Chrystal, president of the British Columbia association, took as his theme “Apprenticeship.” His suggestion was favorably received, being in short a plan to lay out a schedule for boy work- ers, starting them out at a reasonable wage, graduated upwards | a period of four years. At the end of the ‘apprenticeship perio bonus of $500 would be given, provided the services rendered h been satisfactory. It was hoped by such a method to induce mo youths to take up woodwork designing as a lifework, as it was E occupation more attractive and fascinating than almost any 0: of the skilled trades. One of the objects of holding the joint convention in Vancot was to give the Pacific Northwest association an opportunity fo ly to present an invitation to the British Columbia associati affiliate with the former, which includes the planing millmen Oregon and Washington, with branches in Seattle, Tacoma, Spok: Portland and other centers. A banquet was held; menu cards printed on fier: ply cotte wood veneer were an unique souvenir of the affair. | “a E. C. Chrystal, president of the British Columbia Woodware ers’ Association, occupied the chair most of the time at ie j ‘nt convention. a, | - OP, Mire ae CANADA LUMBERMAN On the left is the residence of M. E. Crouch, manager of the Porcupine Pulp & Lumber Co., at Hoyle, Ont. Next is a snapshot of Mr. Crouch himself and then the company’s store and the new home of the cashier of the organization Porcupine Company is Creating New Town One of the busiest institutions in the north is the Porcupine Pulp & Lumber Co., Limited, of Hoyle, Ont., which is located on the T.. & N. O. Railway, sixteen miles south of the busy town of Timmins. The “Canada Lumberman” on this page presents several views showing the activities of this organization which has been in existence for the last six years. The Porcupine Pulp & Lumber Co. takes out several thousand cords of pulpwood each year and during the coming season will increase its usual amount by about thirty per cent. The company does not operate any camps itself but awards the contracts to job- bers who take the product either from the land owned by the Porcu- pine people or upon which it has cutting rights. ‘At Hoyle, Ont., the company has erected several buildings, in- cluding a rossing plant, general store, cookery and bunkhouses, resi- dences for the manager and cashier} warehouse and other structures. Recently a new pulpwood conveyor was completed and new concrete piers have been placed under the rossing plant. The company owns about forty acres at Hoyle where all buildings are located. The mill rosses about some 125 cords of pulpwood in ten hours and is kept busy the greater part of each year. ¥ It is the intention in the spring to erect several cottages for em- _ ployees and it is likely that a sawmill will also be put up in order - to make profitable use of the large quantities of poplar and birch _ which the company has on its lands. P The ty air ee WE LMR YT pty ee aap AY Cutting rights are possessed on some 8,000 acres in all. ' wood that is rossed is shipped to the Cliff Paper Co., of Niagara _ Falls, N.Y., of which the Porcupine Pulp & Lumber Co. is a sub- sidiary organization. It is brought to the rossing plant at Hoyle either by direct haul or by -being driven down the “Porcupine River. | The head office of the company is at Niagara Falls, N.Y., and » the president is E. E. Mansfield. The manager of operations at _ Hoyle is M. E. Crouch, who formerly resided “in Port Arthur and ae and is an Ontario land surveyor, well-known throughout _ the north. The company has various other plans in view for the develop- ae I tay Se _ ment of activities at Hoyle and certainly has done a great deal during _ the last few years in creating a thriving settlement in the hinterland = of Ontario. \- Ha Buffalo Hardwood Men Will Meet in Montreal There is every probability that the Buffalo Hardwood Dealers’ Pe caciation will hold its next annual gathering in the city of Mon- treal and a definite announcement to this effect may be expected dur- ing the next few weeks. The meeting takes place some time in _ January and all Montreal lumbermen will be glad to see their breth- “ren from across the border. The weather at that time may be cold _ but they can be assured of a warm welcome at the Canadian metro- clic. There will also be plenty of coal available as well as other _ hot stuff. save the plant. the et is seen the rossing bint ef the Porcupine Pulp & Lumber Co., at Hoyle, Ont., bi ship to Niagaca Falls, N.Y, On the No More Big Sales Before Stock-Taking During the last fiscal year there was sold by the Department of Lands and Forests of Ontario, timber areas totalling 1,593 square miles. Of this total 1,399 square miles was disposed of by the Drury Government during the portion of the year in which it held office. The Ferguson administration, since it came into the saddle, has sold only 194 square miles, all of which was composed of burned-over timber areas which required to be disposed of immediately if they were to be realized upon. The number of sales which the Depart- ment transacted during the past year was 47, 38 being under the Drury Government. When Hon.:-G, Howard Ferguson came into power he made the statement that his Government would not alienate the public domain until a thorough stock-taking of the natural resources of the pro- vince had been carried out and a comprehensive plan formed for realizing upon them to the best advantage. That he has adhered to such a policy is indicated by the Department’s statistics. Seaman Kent Plant at St Agathe Burned The hardwood flooring factory of the Seaman, Kent Co., Lim- ited, at St. Agathe, Que., was completely destroyed by fire recently. The blaze broke out from an unknown cause in the boiler house about six o’clock in the morning, being discovered by the night watchman, and made such rapid progress that it was impossible to The hardwood lumber in the yard some distance from the factory, and the office building were saved. The total loss is about $200,000 and is fairly well covered by insurance. The plant was acquired from the Standard Mills Co. some twelve years ago and had been operated by the Seaman, Kent Co. ever since. Hardwood flooring, principally of birch, was turned out to the extent of 7,000,000 board feet annually, the factory being a three-unit one. The product was sold largely in Quebec, the Mari- time provinces and the New England States. Frank Kent, of Toronto, president of the company, when asked if the plant would be rebuilt, stated that no decision had been arrived at as yet but that the orders of all customers would be well taken . care of at the other factories of the firm in Meaford and West Lorne where overtime operations will be conducted in order to catch up with the demand. Now that the congestion due to the Dock strike in London has been overcome, Cox, Long & Co. Limited, have resumed shipping freely from Montreal and Quebec to various U. K. Ports. Through the former Port, more than two million feet of white and red pine will be cleared, in addition to which nearly half-a-million feet of birch lumber is now being loaded. At Quebec, fully two million feet of spruce deals and birch lumber have been ordered down for shipment by the liners. They have just completed loading two steamer cargoes of spruce deals from the gulf and may be able to get another cargo away before the weather interferes. and next are several thousand cords of rossed wood ready to tight is the storage pond of the company 44 CANADA LUMBERMAN Lumber Concern Which is Forging Ahead One of the newest and most successful organizations in North- ern Ontario is the McCraney Lumber Co., whose headquarters are at Brennen, Nipissing district. The company which was launched a little over tw o years ago by Guy H. Long, of Hamilton, A. E. Gray- don and P. A. Duff, of South River, secured part of the township of McCraney ‘and erected a mill at Mileage 328 with-a sawing capacity of about 20,000 feet per day. There is estimated to be 10,000,000 feet of the finest birch in that area and much favorable comment has been received upon its character. Good trees produce good logs and when properly cut, good logs produce good lumber which accounts for the superior stock that the McCraney Lumber Co, has been producing. It is cutting a million and a half feet per year and estimates that it will take five years to cut out the stock. Cutting the logs principally to 16-foot lengths, makes the lumber easier to “sell as the long lengths in birch are alw ays sought after. There is a down-haul for the logs to the mill which is situated on a railroad siding and enables the firm to make quick shipments. The McCraney Lumber Co., has its camp situation, building, saw- mill and piling ground one of the best sites in the north country. Guy H. Long, Hamilton, Ont. The piling ground is long and narrow and high and dry. The lay- out is picturesque, being situated by Round Lake which nearly sur- rounds the mill and makes the fire hazard practically nil. The McCraney Co. shipped one car of 8/4 No. 1 common and better birch that, under N.H.L.A. inspection, showed 87 per cent FAS. and 79 per cent 14 feet and longer. The 10/4 shipped out by the firm showed practically the same and if anything a little ‘better inspection and the company has now ready for the market approxi- mately 1,000,000 feet. The McCraney Lumber Co, looks for an advance in birch in the near future, paricularly for quality stock. . The personnel of the McCraney Lumber Co, has resulted large- ly in its success, the various members having special experience which qualifies them for effective work. Guy H. Long, who is a partner of the Long Lumber Company, Hamilton and Yoronto, President of the Consumers Lumber ‘Com- pany, Hamilton, President of the Ideal Lumber Company, Hamilton, and has been Hydro Commissioner for the last three years, is Presi- dent of the McCraney Lumber Company, and looks after the selling of the company’s stock. A. E. Graydon, who has been in the North country practically all his life, is a practical lumberman. He was connected with the Graydon Lumber Company at Ravensworth and is an experienced National Inspector and saw-mill man.

Sutcliffe is manager, is one of the live organizations that believes in effective and persistent newspaper advertising. The _ ads. are changed frequently and carry catchy headings such as “The - Parlor in the Home,” “A Ton of Coal Yields,” “Ancient Methods in Millwork,” “A Real Good Time,” “Protecting Your Investment,” “A House ‘Cannot Be Warm,” etc. The announcements are general- ly run in series and appear in the same place in the paper each evening so that they constitute a regular feature, Mr. Sutcliffe says——‘‘We make a continuation of this kind of ad- vertising and we do not miss one insertion a year in our local paper 3 . . . . . . without having an ad. of some description in it. We know of quite a number of people who, even though they are not interested in buy- ing lumber, are always interested in reading our daily ads. We feel that it pays us to advertise in this manner as it keeps our name before the general public all the time. Things have been very good with us this year and our volume of business has exceeded that of last year by a considerable margin,” The Kaministiquia Lumber Co. made an exhibit at the fall fair » this year but not on such an elaborate scale as in 1922 as the firm gave part of its space to the Daughters of the Empire. The com- pany made a miniature house and donated it to the Daughters. This diminutive dwelling was on display in a portion of the booth. The Kaministiquia Lumber Co. say that they are well satished with this year’s business and are also optimistic about the outlook for 1924. As far as the firm can see and judge by conditions prevail- ing at Fort William, a good year should result and it is anticipated that trade will keep up until late this fall. The millwork part of the business has shown wonderful increase and it will not be long before the Kaministiquia concern will probably have to double its capacity. It is thinking seriously of doing so the coming winter. _ Some of the advertisements run in a late series by the Kaministi- quia Lumber Co, are both instructive and timely and are reproduced herewith: : A Ton of Coal Yields Ten thousand feet of gas.

What a shouting for joy, what a relaxation from that awful tenseness of feeling that had got on everyones nerves as the war continued unabated. But everyone was happy and the question — of how the final settlement was to be made was laid aside. Then a feeling of optimism swept this Continent with the expectation™ of big things ahead, Europe would need large supplies of every kind, more especially lumber, wheat and ‘steel, for reconstruction pur- poses, which, for the time being, could only be supplied by this Con- tinent, at least, so it was presumed, and so for nearly two years we went merrily along and prices soared. Then, all of a sudden, the market stopped short and orders ceased and we commenced to realise that everything was not all right. This cessation set in nearly two years after the armistice. From that time to the present, there has been a continued deflation in the volume of business and more especially in the amount of finance, especially credit, available for industrial purposes, with a continual series of liquidations in every line, and we are not yet certain what course commerce in general is about to take. As we look back on the four years of the war and the five of peace following we are tempted to ask which was the worse, the shock of war or the effects following. It is like a man who has been struck down by a sudden accident in a moment of time, which requires months or years to repair. That we are yet on the way to permanent recovery is quite open to serious doubt and the difficulties of reconstruction become more and more apparent as we see con- ference after conference fail on world questions and as we realise that the financial conditions of many of the “powers” involved becomes worse instead of better. A writer of some note says that the necessary agencies for obtaining peace are science, finance and the press, but unfortunately science is more hopeful of perfecting poison gas than curing the world’s ills, capital in dividends than pay rolls, and the press is not unalloyed inasmuch as it is likely to serve the varied interests only. It is easy to be pessimistic but it is also unwise to be optimistic without sound reasons. The two years following the armistice, full of optimism, have been greatly discounted by the three following, so that a few reflections on the present position of the world’s trade may not be out of place. Let us hold in mind the fact that all business depends upon finance under our present system of commerce and, if financial con- ditions fail’there is disruption. This was so in the case of Russia. It is pretty certain that Germany is to be broken up, and Poland is LUMBERMAN on the threshold of a similar disaster through falling currency, that finance has more to do with the morals of a nation and stabil in general than we have hitherto accorded it. Lloyd George” taken occasion on his recent visit to the American continent to w 1 of the grave dangers now present in Europe. The Italian wri Guglielmo Ferrero, who ever since the armistice has preached failure, says that Europe has entered on a new era of barbarism. _ ; In England, financiers like Hon. Reginald McKenna and < Arthur Balfour are divided as to the best method of dealing with 1 monetary situation there, one advocating inflation of currency at the other deflation. Ramsay Macdonald, the labor leader, declar that the problem of unemployment will remain as long as the pr system of capital continues. With these conflicting forces at 1 what then may we expect? As we approach the sixth year after armistice, the atmosphere in the European house is charged wit explosive material and England is in the adjoining apartment. may happen that an endeavour will be made to combine the fc of Europe, both politically, commercially, financially and socia for there must be either combination and construction or disinteg tion and destruction. me But of what interest is this to the Lumberman? The answer i that there is too great a tendency for us to take it for granted th because of our natural resources and their political values, our path from now on is safe and secure. We forget that the first week in August 1914 awoke only too many out of their slumbers and there is a possibility if we are not careful of again being taken by surprise. Let us look the matter squarely in the face, for the trade of the Empire as a whole may rest largely upon the decisions now made at the present Imperial Conference. ‘The political situation remains kaleidoscopic. ‘The past twelve months have shown marked changes in the world’s affairs and it looks as though we all are on the eve of yet more far reaching changes. Conditions in both Great Britain and on the European Continent call for speedy action owing to the large amount of unemployment and lack of finances. These condi- tions may force the issues at stake more quickly than is generally anticipated. It therefore, behooves us to awake to.the possibilities of the situation, remembering that, under our present system of commerce. we cannot live alone as a nation but that what affect: other nations will also affect Canada. Dealers Should Give No Special Discounts Should the retail lumber dealer grant a special discount to con- tractors other than 2 per cent 30 days or net 60 days? This is a question which has been frequently mooted and no satisfactory solu- tion appears to have presented itself in many cities and towns of Canada. It is generally conceded that once a special discount is granted to certain customers, in the way of contractors, carpenters or private individuals, then trouble of all kinds looms up. Misunder- standings amany arise and suspicion reigns where mutual confidence — and trust should prevail. 4 To reverse the customary order of things, it might be asked if a contractor ever thought of giving the lumber dealer part of his profits on a job, particularly when, it is considered, that the dealer, has frequently tipped him off to live prospects. By getting a pointer in time, the contractor has secured the work, but did he ever reward his retail friend? Echo alone reverberates “when?” 7 It may be also pointed out that no other body of retailers as. a class has established selling prices to bring a lower net return per dollar for sales than the average yardman. He invests heavily in premises, factory, equipment and stock and is alone entitled to any profits arising from his sales. He cannot afford to grant special con- cessions and there is no earthly reason why he should. cso! =, oa The manager of one of the yards in a neighboring city recently pointed out that the contractor also has a considerable investment in tools and equipments and is entitled to a legitimate profit on his operations which he usually secures. If he does not it is because he is incompetent or makes a slip but his intentions are right. - Ww The custom of contractors to furnish materials as well as labor, is almost universal: and, of course, the contractor will complain that he is entitled to compensation for the extra labor and expense thus caused, which he would not have to bear if furnishing labor only. This we will grant. But who should pay it? a Now right here is the dealer’s best argument. When the con- tractors furnish the material, they are following a custom born of the impracticability of the owner’s buying materials with which he is not familiar and getting the right materials and in right quantities He is performing a service for the owner, is in effect, his purchasing agent: and from the owner, and him alone, should come the com- mission or profit on the transaction to which the contractor is’ entitled. ‘To expect the dealer to pay it, or, as is more frequently the case, for the contractor to exact his pound of flesh from both sources, is a gross violation of every principle of justice, and will not be tolerated by the aggressive dealer. . ¢ a re ee Pig er eee, CANADA Another Lumber Legislator Passes Many friends in the lumber trade will learn with regret of the death of Auguste T. Leger, M.P., for Kent ‘County, who passed away _ recently at Campbellton, N. B. He was 71 years of age and had rep- resented Kent in the Federal House since 1917. Mr. Leger who carried on a lumber business for many years, The late Auguste T, Leger, M. P. for Kent County, N.B had an active and varied career. For a long period he was postmaster at St. Louis and was later high sherriff for the County of Kent which post he filled acceptably until 1908. He was born in Cocagne, N. B., on January 4th 1852 and was of Acadian and French-Canadian ex- traction. He fought many political fights in the Liberal cause and although defeated several times, always conducted a fair-minded and honorable campaign. Budget of Briefs from Busy East _The Fraser Companies, Ltd., are not expected to cut heavily on their own holdings, absorbing instead the cuts of burned timber irom _ other holdings. ; At Three Brooks the manufacture of some 50,000 hardwood ties will be undertaken, and there is a possibility that a similar order may be filled, G. F. Burden, of the chief scalers branch of the Department of Lands and Mines recently returned home after an official tour, which included Grand Falls, the Tobique and other sections of the province. He said that the labor problem in these sections is working itself out as many farmers are joining the crews. The general impression in the sections that he visited was that the winter’s operations in the woods would be fairly extensive. According to present predictions the lumber cut on the Tobique this season will be twenty million feet for the Stetson, Cutler firm alone. It is expected that practically all of this cut will be absorbed ‘by the Fraser Companies, Ltd., and will consist chiefly of market- able timber, which has been affected in the burned areas. ye oe Waugh is carrying on the operations for the Stetson Cutler interests. He expects to cut about two million feet in the vicinity of Longley on the Transcontinental. A repport from the New Brunswick Fire Underwriters show _ that losses sustained by fire in the province in 1922 were as fol- lows :— Sawmills 22, value $261,291. Manufactured lumber 23 fires, estimated loss $412,631. For the first six months in 1923 the loss was as follows :— ~~ Ten saw mills valued at $67,805 ; Six fires in manufactured lumber, value, $48,023. This report does not take in the millions of feet of lumber, which fell a prey to the ravages of the forest fires, but has reference only to manufactured lumber stored and insured. It is expected that the daily output of newsprint at the Inter- & national Paper Company’s mill at Three Rivers, Que., will soon reach 320 tons which is about 80 tons more than the original plant _ was planned to produce. The Canadian mill, which is one of the most up-to-date and is electrically operated throughout, has not. iffered from low water conditions. It is one of the lowest cost ducers among the different units owned by the company. Power LUMBERMAN 49 ‘operators are anxious to secure experienced men. - said that construction work in Ontario has attracted much of the and the location makes it possible to float logs to the mill fr-m the 5,000 square miles of timberlands behind it. A report ‘received from Campbellton, N. B., says that twenty- four vessels loaded lumber from that port during the season. The cargoes of long lumber shipped aggregated 30, 123, 522 feet, in addi- tion to 19,870,000 laths. ‘There was also 1,815,000 cedar shingles shipped as well as thousands of cords of rossed pulpwood. The ma- jority of the lumber shipped was for European and South American ports, the largest quantities going to Birkenhead, and Manchester, England, and to Buenos Aires in the Argentine Republic. Recent rains have caused the St. John River to rise over two feet and in some places it is reported even higher. This is a boon to operators. In some places reports say that everything in the nature of logs have been rafted, but, in other sections, there are many stranded and it will mean a saving of a large sum of money to have this additional water. The rain did not come soon enough for. the Nashwaak Pulp & Paper Company who had been carrying on exten- sive operations on the Nashwaak river. They completed work for the season a few days ago and therefore lost the benefit of the rain fall. : The demand for New Brunswick is great and The scarcity of labor is being keenly felt due to the prospect of an .extremely large | cut. S, J. Burlock, M.L.A., of Gordonsville, Carleton county, when recently interviewed said that $75 to $85 per month were prevailing prices offered for woodsmen on the Nashwaak. The continued scar- city of men, he said, placed many of the smaller contractors in such a position that unless they were able to secure the necessary laber shortly that many would be forced to throw up their contracts. Those, who had contracted early in the season before the boom in- wages was experienced, are feeling the situation keenly. From Harcourt, N. B., comes word that the local lumbermen are ready for what promises to be a busy season. Some have already taken their crews to the camps and have begun the winter program- me. Robert Shirley has contracted for a large cut for Fraser’s, Limited, on their lot on the Salmon River; James Fahey with a large — crew will operate in the vicinity of Canaan; McCleary Brothers are cutting for Sayre & Holly, of Chipman, on Salmon River. Andrew Robinson and John Brown have taken their crews to the northern part of the province where they have been engaged to yard a large number of logs, while B. L. Keswick expects to continue operations this winter at Lower Main River where he has been sawing for two years. : A judgment was recently given in the Supreme Court of New Brunswick sitting in St. John in favor of J. A. Gregory Plaintiff against four insurance companies for loss on insured lumber in the Westfield district. The amounts of the judgment were as follows: Palatine Insurance Company $2,363.05; Yorkshire, $1,417.83; British Crown, $945.22; Merchant Marine, $945.22. The action was brought by Mr. Gregory, after refusal of the companies to pay his claim, on — the ground that the lumber in question was within 300 feet of an open burner and that this fact had not been disclosed when the policies ~ were issued. The judge ruled that there had been no misrepresenta- tion or deliberate non- -description on the part of the plaintiff and therefore gave his verdict in favor of the plaintiff. Lumber operators are having so much difficulty securing help — that many who contemplated starting cutting have been held up although they were all prepared to start some time ago. In one section of New Brunswick an operator reported that thirty-five men were all that could be secured for five camps, and as a result only a small part of the anticipated operations have been started. It is woodsmen in labor, which formerly went to the bush. Gloucester County in par- ticular is said to have sent many to Ontario. Search for men in the southern part of the province has not been any too successful. How-_ ever, improvement in this condition is expected as the autumn ad- vances when construction work is curtailed and men are out of that line of employment. er A report from along the North Shore of the Province of New Brunswick shows that there has been an increase in the export busi- — ness to the United States in the period from July 1 to September 30.

B., outlines his personal observations of conditions with the mills in that district. He says:—T’he movement of lumber in our district at the moment is quite large as we find that practically all the mills through the east this year have followed the practice of moving their lumber almost as fast as it is produced, with the result that, now the sawing season is practically over and a great many of the mills are shutting down and the stocks of lumber on hand are very much below normal at this time of the year. The free movement of lumber, however, has had some effect upon prices as is quite natural to expect but we feel that the price situation is bound to improve in the immediate future and as soon as these heavy shipments from the small pro- ducing mills all over the country is stopped. Furthermore the production of lumber all through the Maritime Provinces is not over 50% of normal this year and we understand that this same condition applies more or less to all the producing districts through the Province of Quebec. So far as our own pro- duction is concerned it is only about two thirdseof normal and is less than 50% of what it was four or five years ago. Regarding the woods work this winter, there is not going to be the heavy production that was expected sixty days ago. This is owing to the fact that men are scarce, wages are high and the depres- sion in trade has influenced a great many producers to curtail their operations. We are not going to have the quantity of logs coming out this winter that was “anticipated a short time ago. ‘Taking all these things into consideration we believe that we are bound to see a strong and active market before next spring and that there is really going to be a shortage of lumber. We have advice from friends of ours in British Columbia and they tell us that conditions out through that district are much the same as they are in the east. That is, that all producers there have been shipping their lumber more freely than usual with the result that stocks on hand at the end of the sawing season are smaller than they were last spring when the sawing season opened. As to our paper mill, we are glad to be able to advise you that we are running very successfully and our mill is in operation every day. Our production this month, up until the present, averages bet- _ ter than 55 tons per day and last month, the first month that we run a full month, our production was just about 50 tons per day. _ We expect for the month of November that we will get our produc- yy. -. 2. tion up to 60 tons per day. We consider this is pretty good for a mill with a marked capacity of 50 tons per day. Construction Contracts Keep up Well During October, construction contracts awarded in Canada, according to MacLean Building Reports, Limited, amounted to $30,- 078,100, compared with $23, 382, 100 in September, and $24,270,300 in October, 1922. Residential buildings accounted for 28.1% of the October total, and amounted to $8,434,600. Business /buildings amounted to $4,345,600, or 14.4%; industrial buildings, $1,329,800, or 4.4% ; public work and utilities, $15,968,100, or 53.1%. The value of contemplated new work during October was $33,968,000. It is gratifying and re-assuring to consider the accomplishments of the year to date as compared with last. The Dominion total for ten months is $277,114,600, while the same period of 1922 was $237,- 917,509. ‘This is an increase of 16.5%. ‘The increase is contributed by all forms of construction with the exception of residential build- ings, although the decrease here is but 5.5%, and represents a drop of $4,958,100. This drop from a monetary viewpoint is negligible, but an analysis of the figures reveals a social problem that demands a condition defeats the principle of home owning. speedy solution. The number of houses erected to date this year is 15,988, as com- _ pared with 18,083 for the same period in 1922, a drop of 11.6%... _ view of the fact that the drop in cost is but 5.5%, and that material ; prices have remained approximately stationary, here is incontro- _vertible evidence that the building of workers’ homes has fallen off, while that is the type most needeed to relieve the housing shortage. The non-union worker cannot make the initial payment on a home _ costing $4,500 or over, and if he can, he is unable to carry the burden of interest, taxes and principal payments without sub-letting. This If wages cannot be increased then the structural problem of erecting houses or flats which can be sold or rented at decidedly lower prices than those existing to-day, cries out for solution. Shortage of Labor in Ontario Camps “There igea great shortage of help in the lumber camps. Two thousand more men could be taken on in Northern Ontario if they were available. The call has been sent out by the owners of the camps to the cities and towns but the men in these places ene out of work are slow in accepting positions in the camps despite the fact that lumbering today is different and more congenial than it was years ago.” Henry Scheel, of Kitchener, Ont., said regarding a three weeks’ trip to the Ottawa Valley and Northern Ontario which : he completed recently. Mr. Scheel made the trip in the interests of Messrs. J. M. Schneider and Sons Ltd., of Kitchener, Ont., the first point visited — being Ottawa whence he went to his old home town Arnprior. The trip to Northern Ontario took him to Dalton which is on the C.P. Ra line west of Sudbury. Business furnished the occasion to visit the lumber camps, the insight into the life of the lumber jacks being enjoyed. The modern conveniences and comforts under which | the men in the camps live, including comfortable sleeping quarters, excellent food and attractive dining rooms with faithful and happy waitresses, were a revelation. — Thirty Million Feet Shipped From Campbellton : Although the port of Campbellton, N.B., has not been the scene — of so great activity in shipping this season as was the case last year, some ‘twenty-four sea going vessels loaded long lumber, laths, shin-— gles and pulpwood for foreign ports. during the summer. The car- 4 goes of long lumber shipped, aggregate to 30,123,522 feet. Besides this some 19,870,000 laths were shipped from the port, 1,815,000. cedar shingles and many thousand cords of rossed pulpwood. According to the shipping records of the Customs Office as p Campbellton the bulk of lumber shipped last summer was for the — European and South American markets, large quantities being ship- — ped to Birkenhead and Manchester, England and to Buenos Ayres, — Argentine Republic. 4 Shipping activities began early at Campbellton, the first steamer — docking shortly after ice ran out of the Restigouche and although ~ there was not a steady run of vessels loading, the harbor was a busy — spot at times with as many as five large vessels loading together. — This extra work was valuable in supplying work to many who might — otherwise have been unemployed and the large quantity of long ~ lumber shipped contrived to make room in the crowded lumber yards — of several local firms. . How Lumber Industry in East Has Grown The total lumber cut last year on both Crown and :private lands — of New Brunswick was about 350,000,000 feet. . . Pay roll for saw mills, $5,709,000. 4 Pay roll for logging, $5,200,000. Pay roll for pulp mills, $1,640,000. Invested in pulp and paper mills, $16,310,952. The production of pulpwood in New Brunswick in 1922 was as follows: Cords Value For ‘locally millisa saan ae 204,965 $2,089,900 Or export! =scnee ote eee 144,693 1,527,776 ‘ 349,604 3,616,776 There are about 600 saw mills, large and small, in New Bruns- — wick. They employ about 9,000 men. In the woods in winter about 12,000 men are engaged. The investment in the lumber industry in 1922 was set down as $38,879,983. f Uruguay Buys Eastern Canada Spruce a Acting Commissioner, P. W. Cook, in a recent letter to the Com- — mercial Intelligence Journal, Department of Trade and Commerce, Ottawa, said :— Uruguay has been a fairly steady buyer of Canadian dumber, — particularly white pine and Eastern Canada Spruce. Last spruce — quotations from St. John, N. B., were $60 (merchantable), steamer cargoes, and $57.60 sailor cargoes. Oregon or Washington spruce, — merchantable, ex Seattle or San Francisco, is quoted rather lower, — roughly $54. On the other hand, West Virginia spruce ex Newo@ York was recently quoted at high at $74.

Mr. Bell Issues Challenge to Mr. Barnjum bs P ey a “So far the majority of witnesses have lbeen handpicked by American interests.” At the date Mr. Barnjum’s letter was written the Commission had only just completed its hearings in Nova Scotia so that his state- ment applies only to this Province, and the inference of course is that the majority of witnesses testifying in Nova Scotia were pre- _judiced on the question by American influence exerted directly for that purpose. Such a statement constitutes a direct reflection on men like Hon. R. M. Macgregor, Hon. Davidson Hill, C. W. Ander- _son, M.P.P., J. H. Livingston, T. D. Pickard, Walter McNeil, Alfred 4 Dickie, Rufus Dickie, Frank C. Whitman, H. T. Warne, A. M. Gates, Charles Sprague, David Embree, Arch McColl, Rev. Father Cormier, Warden H. MacKenzie of Victoria County, and many others whose names have slipped my memory. I challenge Mr. Barnjum to name the majority of handpicked witnesses. Mr. Barnjum says :— “Their testimony thus far amounts no more than to an expres- sion of personal opinion, their opinion being that their pocket books _and those of the American interests they represent are likely to suffer if an embargo is placed on pulpwood.”’’ What do Mr. Barnjum’s statements in favor of the embargo amount to?—No more than his personal opinion—and is it any more _ valuable than that of many of the men in the above list? f Is.not Mr. Barnjum the President of MacLeod Pulp & Paper Company, Limited, and does not this Company buy a very large proportion of its wood supply from small owners at $5 to $7 per cord? Would an embargo have any bearing on the value of this Com- _ pany’s undertaking? I press for Mr. Barnjum’s direct and explicit reply to this question. The facts are of course that Mr. Barnjum is as prejudiced in his _ point of view in favor of an embargo as are any of those who have testified as opposed to it. Mr. Barnjum goes a step further. _ yet been put before you.’ It would take too much of your Batis space to quote exten- He says:—‘No real facts have _ witnesses, but let us use just one or two examples :— 4 It was said that local pulpmills in Nova Scotia are paying only $5 to $8 per cord for their wood and that Nova Scotians producing _ pulpwood for export are getting $9 to $12 per cord, Does ‘Mr. Barnjum say that this is not a fact? ‘It was said that in 1908 Canada produced approximately 1,400,- _ 000 cords of pulpwood of which, roughly speaking, 900,000 cords were exported and only 500,000 were consumed by Canadian Mills. That in 1922—14 years later, Canada produced 4,000,000 cords of pulp- -wood—approximately 3 times as much as in 1908—and that of this 4,000,000 cords approximately 1,000,000 cords were exported and ,000,000 cords consumed by Canadian Mills. In other words, our orts increased only 12% whilst our home consumption increased it Or, in 1908, 65% of our total pulpwood cut was exported, whilst by 1922 natural economic conditions had forced such a develop- ment in pulp and paper manufacturing in Canada that oy 25% of pulpwood cut was being exported. % Does Me. Bottles sey that this is not a fact? 4 sively from the actual facts and figures that were submitted by these It was said that of the total timber cut in Canada approximately only 5% is exported as pulpwood, and that a large portion of that 5% is poplar, for which there is practically no market in Canada. Does Mr. Barnjum say that this is not a fact? In his vicious attack on the Government because it failed to proclaim an embargo without due investigation, such as is now being made by the Royal Commission on Pulpwood, Mr. Barnjum says.— “The people of Canada are not permanently to be bamboozled by the politicians.” I would suggest that the present situation could be more aptly described by the phrase :— “The people of Canada are not permanently to be bamboozled by an interested propagandist’”—posing as a public benefactor,— no matter how great his wealth and his consequent capacity for publicity. Very truly yours Ralph P. Bell. Boulderwood, Halifax, November 1, 1923, Not Enough Interest on Pulpwood Issue The pulpwood situation, coupled with the investigation in pro- gress by the Royal Commission appointed by the Federal Gov- ernment to inquire into the question of exporting pulpwood into the United States and the effect of the proposed embargo, are questions which are the cause of considerable interest, says “the Quebec cor- respondent of the “Canada Lumberman.” There has been a very large shipment of pulpwood from the district of Quebec during the spring and summer season to the American mills which has given the idea that a big cut of this wood will be made this winter to meet prospective demands. In this regard jobbers who have made their sanguine calculations, are likely to “suffer to some extent a disappointment. The high cost of labor has caused the purchasing interests in a number of cases to amend their estimates. It is said that the Brown Corporation, with other similar important paper-manufacturing interests, have refused to submit to the abnormal increase in the demands of labor for higher wages, and have not only decided to curtail their operations, but in some cases to make no cut in pulpwood this winter. It is believed by many who claim to know the labor market situation, that there is no just cause for the story of shortage of labor ; that just as soon as the winter season sets in to compel a shut-down of the large private and public works construction in the cities and country districts of the province, a large body of labor, who have sought work in the woods during previous winter seasons, will be released from their present employment to resume their win- ter calling. The big pulp and paper interests of Quebec can afford to wait for another year in independence of labor exactions owing to the fact that they have sufficient stocks of pulpwood in storage to keep their mills going for another year or more. There is a strong feeling growing in every avenue of trade in which capital is the predominating factor, that labor (which is only eight per cent of the entire population) has become too arrogant in its ideas and continued increased demands. Canadian pulp mills who manufacture large quantities to sell their output to the United States paper mills, have come to realize that they must reduce the cost of their operations on account of the drop of $7.00 per ton on raw pulp in the United States made possible by the recent floods and ample water in the American rivers, etc., which allow the American mills to float their pulpwood to their mills. The apparent apathy of the general public.in the investigation proceedings of the Dominion Government Royal Pulpwood Commis- sion is the cause of much comment in the city of Quebec. It would appear, from the want of interest taken by the people who should be interested in the forest resources of Canada, that the Commission will be unable to eventually make a report of their conclusions other- wise than one-sided from the evidence so far adduced. An impres- sion seems to prevail to account for this apathy that the pulp and paper industry in Canada is dominated by American capital which in aah only represents twenty per | cent. of the total capital in- veste 54 CANADA LUMBERMAN 6 Ai the end of 1921, according to figures compiled by the Dom- snion Bureau of Statistics, there were outstanding in Canadian securi- ties to a par value of $404,768,480 of the various pulp and paper in- dustries or companies. -Of this total $277,357,811 or sixty-eight per cent. were held in Canada. Another $74,079,235 were held in the United States, or eighteen per cent. of the total. British invest- ments totalled $11,936,785 or less than three per cent., while in other countries holdings totalled $41,394,049. But this included $27 ,257,- 979 of unapportioned securities, such as bearer bonds where the actual ownership is not easily determined. A high proportion of these would be held in Canada, bringing the actual Canadian owner- ship close to seventy-five per cent. Of stocks outstanding to the amount of $320,898,700, Canadian holdings total $236,767,346, United Kingdom holdings $4,796,354, and American $56,929,400. Of British bonds outstanding to the amount of $78,599,847, Canadian holdings total $38,714,286, (in addition to bearer bonds) United Kingdom holdings $6,876,431, and American $16,517,135. Up to the present time the witnesses, who have been heard by the Pulpwood Commission, have apparently been interested parties engaged in the export of wood to the United States and American mill representatives which do not represent the true interests of the important question in the issue as presented to the Canadian public by the Dominion Government in regard to the proposed embargo of pulpwood to foreign countries to the detriment of Canadian industry and the psychology of Canada conserving its raw material for manu- facturing development and the employment of labor as well as build- ing up of population. Those, who believe that Canada can afford to export its forest raw material ad libitum should take into consideration the vast amount of forest resources cut yearly to acquire a supply of pulpwood needed to keep the American pulp and paper mills in operation. Those who believe that the timber supply of Canada will be replen- ished by the planting of trees artificially will, no doubt, be surprised to learn from figures recently issued by the Canadian Forestry As- sociation, that during the past five years Canadian citizens, through their own recklessness, have destroyed over 3,600,000 acres of mer- chantable timber growing on publicly-owned lands, while in the whole Dominion only 6000 acres have as yet been artificially planted with forest trees. This does not apply to private and company limit-holders’ reforestation and the fact that there are 150,000,000 acres of soil in Eastern Canada better adapted to tree crops than farm crops. i The hopelessness of catching up’ with forest fire losses in the Dominion by reforestation is hereby clearly illustrated in evidence of the fire losses throughout the Dominion by human agency. It goes to show that if the people of Canada think it worth while to conserve their own industries and keep them in constant operation, they must give more attention to the exploitation of Canadian forests for the benefit of foreign manufacturing indusries as well as better protection against losses by fire. They must ponder over the seri- ousness of continual depletion of timber by the wholesale that will tend to increase the price of lumber which has doubled with the past fifty years in comparison to prices of other commodities. Every in- crease in lumber means dearer construction of private dwellings and furniture, as well as other wood products, and makes it impossible for the salaried men and the working classes to own their own homes. These are questions for the Pulpwood Commission to take into consideration as well as the lumberman and ‘general interested Can- adian public who are refraining from going before the Commission to give evidence, instead of leaving the question altogether in the hands of the selfish interests of the American purchaser of Canadian wood or their selling agents. Pulp Association Advocates an Embargo An embargo on the export of pulpwood from Canada “offers a prospect of a considerable improvement in forest conservation, and is constitutionally and economically feasible,” ‘reads a statement made by Edward Beck, Montreal, Secretary of the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association, before the Royal Commission investigating the Canadian pulp and paper industry, at its session in Ottawa recently. Mr. Beck read a long, printed statement, illustrated with a num- ber of charts, giving statistics of Canadian pulp and paper business and drawing deductions relating to consumption and destruction of forests. An embargo of the export of the raw product, it was con- tended, would mean the establishment of mills in Canada by Ameri- can paper interests. Canada now gets some $10 a cord out of the pulpwood export, half of which goes to the railway. If manufac- ture were carried on in the Dominion instead of outside of it the value to Canada would be $50 a cord instead of $10. It was admitted in Mr. Beck’s statement that it is difficult to interest owners or licensees of timber limits in replanting trees whic will give no return for 50 or 100 years. And so far as fire protectio went, the system adopted had to be general over a large area to he of any value. Thus fire protection and forest renewal must even- tually become the responsibility, in great part, of the Government. The protective legislation in the four Eastern Provinces ought to uniform, it was contended, since fire and pest are likely to be com- mon to all. ; or The policy of settling men on forest lands was regarded as qu tionable. The land was often stripped of its forest, and then ab doned by the settler, who proceeded to a new area to repeat the oper- ation. e The milling of Canadian pulpwood within the Dominion, it we computed, would bring about a capital investment in Canada of son $150,000,000. This would be sufficient to keep 33 pulp and pap mills busy, each producing 100 tons a day, with employment 8,250 operatives earning $11,140,500 in wages. American conce furthermore, would be far more interested in forest preservatio the forest were at the door of their mills instead of in a fore country. ; ‘i. Hector Authier, M.P.P., Amos Que., was the first witness before the commission. He said the residents of his constituency were at present opposed to any restriction of pulpwood export. This, he contended, was the main business of settlers in the Abitibi district, which he represented. Prices for pulpwood had been very low in past years, he said, and the demand from the United States had helped to improve them. If Canadian manufacturers would co-oper- ate with the Government in paying a “fairly reasonable” price, how- ever, said Mr. Authier, the objection to an embargo or other export = restrictions would be considerably less pronounced. 7 Lumbermen Give Evidence in the East a At a recent sitting of the Pulpwood Commission in Newcastle, N. B., some of the leading witnesses were—J. W. Brankley, general- manager of the Miramichi Lumber Co., Chatham, N. B., Hon. J. P. Burchill, of South Nelson, James Robinson, ex M.P. of Millerton, J. L. O’Brien, of South Nelson, and others. Mr, Brankley said that he had opposed the embargo imposed by the Provincial Government on ‘Crown Lands, and stated that, no one ever expected this would be applied to fee lands, as it would hit the farmers hard and cause a general slump in the indurtry for several years at least. His com- pany has under license 612 square miles and owns 312 square miles of fee land, employs 95 men in the rossing mill at Chatham and about 400 in the woods in connection with the pulpwood business. Their fire losses have been small. They employ a constant fire patrol of six men who follow every train. For the past six years they have cut nothing on their own lands except timber affected by bud-worm. me - Mr. Brankley stated that the expenditure on labor in rossing pulpwood was greater than in sawing lumber. The nearest pulp mill to them was the Fraser mill at Millbank which will not take any supplies from his company. He did not know of any water power of any value in the vicinity and the Fraser mill used steam. James Robinson, former 'M.P. of Millerton, thought that an ~ embargo would ruin competition. He favored leaving slash in the woods for fertilizer as it held the moisture and caused young trees to spring up. It cost $2.50 per thousand to destroy slash. The Government regulations in regard to burning slash were not obsery- ed by lumbermen. There was no market for poplar except the United States. The forests were being destroyed by lath mills more than by pulp operators, he said. ‘The lath mill took all the wood from — good saw logs to small trees that were unfit for pulp. a Hon. J. P. Burchill has about 140,000 square miles of licensed lands on the Miramichi and produces 5,000,000 feet of lumber yearly. ~ Budworm and ‘borer have done great damage to his woods yearl He thought an embargo at present would be inadvisable, as it would interfere with the operations of small farmers and there was the necessity of salvaging timber attacked by budworm, as for the dan-_ ger of retaliation by the United States he thought this was an open question. he 3 ° ° ; aa Ontario’s Future as Pulp Producing Province — Hon. James Lyons, Minister of Lands and Forests, recently delivered an address before the Canadian ‘Club at Fort William. He © pledged the Ontario Government to a policy of development in North-_ ern Ontario.

The city of Fort William was deeply interested in pulp manu- facture ; in Ontario there were now $140,000,000 invested-in pulp and paper plants and by 1925 this would have grown to.at leat $190,000,- 000, It was hoped by the government that it would be able to link up the establishment of new pulp mills with new settlement areas, each industry serving as a nucleus for an agricultural settlement. They had propositions from ten or twelve firms seeking pulp limits and they would consider the advisability of granting their requests as they needed the capital, the labor and the settlers which they will bring in. They intended to get these so that they could maintain their position as the premier province of the Dominion. Alluding to the establishment of pulp and paper industries in _ the Thunder Bay section of the province, Mr. Lyons said that he was of the opinion that no pulp or paper company should receive any special privileges from municipalities. The pulp and paper industry is one of the basic industries of the district and should be able to stand on its own merits, without any aid from the cities. He remind- ed the audience that the government was very deeply interested in the pulp and paper industry, having control of the vast areas that contain the raw material, and the government did not want to be mixed up in any family feuds between municipalities. From this he drew the moral that Fort William and Port Arthur should unite under one municipal government for their own good. Mr. McLean Before Pulpwood Commission At a recent sitting of the Pulpwood Commission in Bathurst, N. B., one of the most important witnesses was Angus McLean who is president of the Bathurst Co. and also president of the ‘Canadian Lumbermen’s Association. His evidence covered all phases of the subject, and when asked his opinion regarding an embargo, he said,— “My strong conviction is that such legislation would be a serious mistake and should not be enforced. So far as Nove Scotia and New Brunswick are concerned, there is a surplus of pulpwood. In this district it is going to waste and the prohibition of export would mean a still greater loss. There is no shortage in this part of the province. There is a surplus, and if the United States is cut off, it would be They would have nothing but the local market which would greatly depreciate the price of their product. ‘ “Tf we developed to the limit of possibility, so far as power is concerned, there would still be plenty of wood. There is not the power needed to manufacture paper extensively. ‘All that can be made until we get additional power is pulp, and the only market for this in the world today is the United States, where we have to com- pete with Germany and the Scandinavian countries which are almost putting us out of business. What Pulp Companies Mean to North The “Broke Hustler” which is published weekly by the Abittibi Power and Paper Company, Ltd., Iroquois Falls, Ont., takes. the position that the power and paper companies are doing a lot of very necessary pioneer work in the newer regions of the country, and asserts that, were it not for their operations, the opening up of the forested regions would be delayed many years. Pulp companies pay millions to the settlers every year and it is this money in the first few years of homesteading that enables the settler to get far enough ahead to become a farmer. a markt for the settler the minute he steps on his lot axe in hand, and it is only through these companies that the settler is enabled to carry on the first few years while he is clearing his land and before he begins to farm in earnest. One company in the past decade has paid practically a million dollars a year to men working in the bush, many of whom were settlers close to the location of the mill, Mull operations involve the purchase of immense quantities of supplies and in this way the pulp and paper companies are a source of much income to distributors in the older sections of the country. How Export of Pulpwood Piles Up Canada’s exports of wood pulp during the 12 months ending September 30 totaled 17,704,999 cwt., with a value of $46,973,825. For the preceding 12 months the exports of wood pulp were 16,125,- 538 cwt., value $40,283.920. Exports of pulpwood for the recent 12 months were 1,403,532 cords, value $13,571,733, compared with 910,- 591 cords, value $9,562,266 in the 12 months ending September, 1922. Exports last month were somewhat below those of August. Exports of newsprint paper rose to 22,016,217 cwt., value $81,- 950,919, in the 12 months ending September last, while the previous The pulp and paper companies provide - 5 12 months period they were 18,068,956 cwt., value $66,248,004. Sept- ember’s exports were 1,818,591 cwt., as compared with 2,091,352 cwt. in August. ' _ Total exports of paper and manufactures of paper of all kinds for the 12 months ending September totaled $89,743,780, as against $72,220,581 for the previous 12 months. Big Purchase of Nova Scotia Property 6 The Albery Perforated Wrapping Paper Company, the second largest of its kind in the United States, has purchased 60,000 acres” of pulp and timber land properties from the Harbor Lumber Com- pany, of Nova Scotia, according to an announcement by Premier E. H. Armstrong. = The contract calls for a mill output of 25,000 cords of pulp wood — monthly. The organization is to consist of 75 men in the mill and 200 lumberjacks in the woods. fe The plant costing $250,000, is expected to. be completed next May. Electric power consumed annually by the mill is estimated at 21,000,000 kilowatt hours. The Nova Scotia Power Company will — furnish the power. Quebec Development Will Hold Residents Ten million dollars will be spent in the development of timber limits in the ‘basin of the Manicougan River in the Province of Que- — bec within the next few years, according to the terms of a lease — which the Government will auction at the end of November. The scheme under which the limits will ‘be exploited is also ex- pected to provide a practical solution of the pulpwood difficulties, and — to do away in some measure with the need for an embargo as far as the Province of Quebec is concerned. The limits referred to are located next to those leased last year by the Ontario Paper Company, and are provided with water powers nearby which, when developed, will facilitate the desired develop- ment. One of the objects in view in offering such an important area of forests is to check, if possible, any further exodus of Quebec resi- dents to the United States, by supplying here the industries necessary to keep the people employed. oe ; Erect Big Mills in Ancient Colony H. J. Crowe intends developing his waterpower at Bay d’ Espoir, Newfoundland, and in connection therewith plans the erection of a paper mill with an ultimate capacity of 500 tons a day. Mr. Crowe has a large tract of timberland at White Bay where he will instal a rossing mill and also put up a sawmill which will give employment to a large number of men. - He hopes to cut from 25,000 to 75,000 cords of wood annually. During the erection of a paper mill on the south coast the wood will be exported to the United States but, after the completion of the mills, however, Mr. Crowe proposes using his — White Bay supply of wood to help furnish raw material for the south — coast paper mills where he owns a tremendous waterpower with a ~ fall of 523 feet at one step. He has for a number of years been pur- chasing pulp lands for his south Coast project. Great Possibilities for Canadian Pulp Great possibilities for the development of the pulp and paper ~ industry were seen by Olaf Kjellstrom, one of the leading pulp and paper manufacturers of Sweden, who passed through Toronto re- cently en route to the Orient. He has visited the main centres of pulp and paper production in Canada and the United States and will spend some time in the Orient investigating the markets there and re-organizing the company’s branch offices in Tokio and Yokohama. — “Tt is thirteen years since I visited this continent and I must admit I am surprised to find prosperity and enterprise apparent on all sides,’ he added. “You people out here have the best opportuni- ‘ties for establishing a tremendous trade with the Orient, and I have, of course, noticed that this is the country where we are going to meet ~ very hard competition.” , Frank Anson Joins Silent Majority | Frank H.

Accumulated stocks of Nova Scotia and New _ Brunswick spruce at Liverpool and Manchester Canal rose from ~ about 10,000 standard on August Ist. to almost 16,000 standards on ~ October Ist. With an average consumption of about 5,000 stand- ards this represents roughly three months’ supply, so that with arriv- Fs als very much reduced, it should not be very long before depletion of stocks brings about a natural improvement in market. Liner space out of Halifax is very difficult to obtain for deals 5 at present owing to heavy demands for apple shipments. The steam- y ship companies show a preference for apple cargoes, and as long as _ the rush lasts, deal shipments are bound to be light. : Stocks of spruce and hardwood in first hands are also practi- cally exhausted, and it does not seem improbable that by the time the new cut is coming out along about the first of the year the ~ demand should be good at fair prices, Compared with last year, spruce is selling on the English mar- ket at about the same price, while the rate of Sterling exchange is up about 10 points. Taking everything into consideration, manufacturers seem to be satisfied with the outlook, and for the most part are preparing for a good average cut, although very little trading is being done at pres- a : _ good a ent prices. :* z 4 x 5 Labor conditions are regarded as satisfactory in some places, while others report a scarcity. Wages are high, but with nearly all - the crews made up, an improvement is looked for from now on. Americans now seem to realize the scarcity of sawn stocks of Eastern spruce and hemlock, and are bidding higher for what limited quantities are offering. As it will be two or three months before the new cut is ready to ship, further advances would not be surpris- ing to those in touch with the situation. ---«-‘The West India market has been quite good during the summer. Recent advices say the market is well supplied for several weeks’ demands and there will probably not be much shipped by cargo B inti the opening of navigation next spring. In the meantime small = parcels can always be sent forward by liner. The price of laths still kept at a good level and the sawing of laths from round wood is a permanently established industry giving employment to a large number of men, where a few years ago all the laths produced in Nova Scotia were sawn from slabs. 7 > - a x Active Demand for Spruce in Montreal Market _ The spruce market continues healthy with good activity and prospects continue bright. The yards are pursuing a conservative policy and refrain from advancing prices unduly, notwithstanding the big demand, a safe profit being more acceptable than a risky ‘account. There is very good building activity in all sections of the - city both in residential work, offices and other large buildings and this will no doubt continue until well into the new year. In the face of the general opinion regarding scarcity of money it is refresh- ‘ing to find that there appears to be plenty of private funds available for good investment in the building line at the rate of 7%. What- ever may be the conditions elsewhere this is so in Montreal and ‘notaries’ offices are’ kept busy in this class of transactions. The chief drawback just now is the scarcity of labor and at this late ‘season there is not much liklihood of a change. - The Boston Spruce market is also very firm which helps to Sustain prices here and the following from the “Commercial Bulle- ” of Boston gives a good idea of conditions in the New England tion: “For spruce either of specified or random lengths and whe- | il f= a Ani Z = HUE 4 ee Cul Oe! ther sawed in New England or the Provinces the tone of the market continues strong. Not only are all recent advances easily maintained but others of equal or greater importance are quite generally thought to be very near. Buyers returning from visits to the Pro- vinces corroborate all that has been affirmed of late about the sup- plies in first hands being very light and say that the advance in prices were, therefore, easily explained and justified. Some observers declare that still higher prices are inevitable. Others content them- selves with saying that they are highly probable. Spruce, lath is also firm, $6 being readily paid F.O.B. cars mill for No. 1. This price may advance further during the next few weeks as there are plenty of buyers. The hardwood flooring market continues good but there is a tendency to somewhat easier prices. This is possibly due to the fact that we have now more hardwood flooring mills in operat:on than a year ago and consequently the supply is getting ahead of the demand. B. C. fir shows a decided weakness, dimension stock having declined to about $54.50, a drop of $3 per M. ft. since the last report. A good sized contract was closed a few days ago at something below this figure, for delivery f.o.b. cars Quebec, and since that time lower prices are indicated. Freight rates by water from the Pacific Coast to Montreal are obtainable at about $12.50 per M. ft. which, against a rail rate of 90 cents per hundred lbs. figures out very much cheaper and this is no doubt having an influence on prices. B. C. clears also remain easy with further cars in transit. No new orders have yet been placed on the Coast for Japanese account so that the expected advance in price has not yet mate- rialized. Export trade in spruce is quiet from all ports; in hardwoods the demand from the United Kingdom is also small and little moving. White and red pine retain their position as first class sellers and have it almost their own way; indeed all liner space to the United Kingdom ports has been booked up by the pine shippers to the ciose of navigation which will shortly be upon us. Quebec Export Shipments Have Been Good With the approach of the closing of the 1923 season of naviga- tion of the St. Lawrence, it may be said that taking into considera- tion every phase of the European political situation and the dockers’ strike during the busy summer shipping season at the various British seaports, the shipments of timber and sawn lumber from the port of Quebec from May 15 to the beginning of November, while not up to expectations, have been remarkably good. The shipment of timber and sawn lumber during the month of October to the United Kingdom was 1,210,084 feet, b.m., or a total of 11,893,103 feet. b.m., during the season up to October 31st, leaving two more months for shipment during which time it is expected that, approximately, 2,000,000 more feet of lumber will be shipped by the various Quebec exporters to the United Kingdom. One of the large Quebec shipping firms, W. & J. Sharples Co., Limited, have com- pleted their shipments for this season, while the firm of John Bur- stall & Co. have not as yet completed their orders and will continue to ship during the entire month of November. The British firm of Cox, Long & Co., with extensive lumber interests in Canada and their office located at Montreal, have shipped large quantities of birch logs and sawn lumber through the agency of MacLean & Kennedy and the port of Quebec. These shipments have come from the Ottawa district by rail and loaded on C. P. Ry. Empresses and C. P. R. freight steamers sailing from the port of Quebec. The last shipment towards the month of October was over 200 standards of deals shipped by the C. P. “Empress of Britain.” Price Bros., Limited, have done an extensive shipping business during this summer season with the American market, the wood goods going direct from this big firm’s mills by railway transporta- tion into the United States. The St. Pacome and the Power Lum- ber Co., have also done a big shipping business during the summer with the American market. The Louise Lumber Co. and the St. Lawrence Lumber Co. with mills located at Rimouski, have also had a successful season. This export trade to meet the American market demands, has been keeping the Quebec mills in steady operation for the past three years to counteract the slump in the European markets Better Bread for Your Men Use— : Quaker Flour Always the Same-Always the Best Bread counts for a great deal in the lumber camps.

Although no authentic statistics of the shipments of wood from | the ports east of Quebec are available, the Quebec export firms in- | terested, including the R. H. Goodday & Co., report that the busi- ‘ness is good. In this connection the shipping of lumber commenced late in the season, nevertheless the shipments have been extensive, especially from Campbellton ‘which has been experiencing an unusu- _ ally busy season. : i Quebec limit-holders and exporters to European markets, seem to be in a quandary as to the prospects for overseas shipments in | 1924. Some leading interests approached for information are non- { ~ committal in their statements. They admit that they have practic- ally completed their estimates but that their operations so far decided ~ deal in the main with the goods required for the American market. _ While agreeing that-there is a possibility of the European political - situation being cleared up by the coming new year, they are not in- clined to cut largely in timber for shipment to the United Kingdom. | Viewing the situation from all angles in their deductions made from _ the information they receive from their European agents, they are _ holding back in their intentions until later in the season. A few of the many questions which confront them in their study - and judgment are the increase in operation in the woods, the scar- - city and increased wage demanded by the woodsmen and the ad- - yance in cost of the stumpage tariffs. The chief cause for the scar- city of labor is to a great extent due to the construction work in pro- _ gress in the country districts, the development of water powers and _ making of good roads whereat the farmers’ sons and countrymen, accustomed to work in the woods during the summer months, find - employment at a $3 per day wage, that keeps them constantly near their home comforts. ‘Take, for instance, the water power develop- _ ments at the Land Discharge and the Kenogami in the Saguenay _ district where there are three thousand men at work close by their _ homes, many of whom accustomed to labor in the woods, are not likely to give up their present employment as long as it lasts to go to the bush. . Quebec operators admit that the price of labor is not as high as is generally reported in the daily press. They state that while they have to pay their foremen a high figure, they are hiring men for _ $50 to $60 per month with board. ¥ Although the complexities of the political situation in Europe, _ which regulates the economic problems to be solved are extraor- _ dinary and will require the utmost, delicate precaution on the part _ of the diplomats to take part in the conferences, there are indications that the difficulties in question will be ironed out and a comprehen- sive policy adopted to ensure the beginning of an end of the dire _ disastrous situation before the beginning of the new year. In the meantime the reports received and confidential advices from the European agents of the Quebec lumber interests do not en- courage the Quebec limit-holders and exporters to go in for a heavy - cut of logs on speculation for the United Kingdom this winter. Al- _ though the advices are by no means pessimistic, there is a ringing note of caution which cannot be ignored. Even if the political situa- _ tion is cleared up by Christmas, it will take Europe.some time to recover from the economic thraldom which she has gone through, especially in regard to deflation of the money values of continental _ Europe and the rates of excltanges, not to speak of the radical com- munistic tendencies of continental Europe. _ There has also to be taken into consideration the scarcity of money in Europe and the competition the Canadian lumber trade will have to meet from the Scandinavian wood countries; Finland, _ for instance, evidently so hard up that the wood shippers are begin- ning to cut prices in their shipments for the cash they so need. This is a situation for the Canadian trade to study, especially the limit- holders in realization that with strict conservation of Canadian for- ests, every stick of timber will enhance in value before many years. While the tone of the wood market in England in October was hopeful, communications received from European agents point out “that there was the utmost difficulty on the part of English exporters to their continental customers, in getting a reasonable profit on the spring figures, and the advances requested by shippers had the effect of forcing buyers to close up their contract books for the time being. The exchange difficulty on the continent is raising the cost of imports to a prohibitive level. This naturally will affect the pur- chasing of the English importer early this winter or when the ques- m of price will determine the action of the buyer and naturally will ide the Quebec lumber operator in his cut in the woods this winter. _ Itis admitted in England that the basis of wood values for 1924 is extremely uncertain. Political changes will, of course, have an mense influence. A continuation of the present unrest in Europe | hinder general trade from expanding and thereby reduce the heral consumption of wood goods, but the most important factor the question of supply and demand, France and Germany have et a re - CANADA LUMBERMAN 61 cut deeply into their forest resources, the Scandinavian countries are doing likewise and are ahead of their system of reforestation in this regard, while, it is generally admitted, that England will need a bigger import next year to meet the demands for housebuilding which shows every sign of being conducted on a large scale for some years to come. In the meantime, the governments of Europe, influenced by the determined stand taken by the British Prime Minister, are getting together with a view to adjusting the European political tragedy with every chance of France and Belgium agreeing to concessions which will result in a settlement by Christmas as already prognos- ticated in the “Canada Lumberman,” that will lead to better condi- tions in economic relations in general to the trade and commerce of the world, and put an end to unrest and the spirit of Bolshevism in Germany and Central Europe in general to warrant a true spirit of optimism which has never ceased to prevail in the British business public mind in which the Canadian lumber trade is destined to share in all advantages. Stiff Prices for Random Prevail at St. John That the market for provincial random promises to be excep- tionally good in the United States next year was a statement made recently by Alexander Wilson on his return from a visit to Boston and New York. He is a member of the firm of Wilson Bros., St. John, N.B., and had been attending a meeting of the Box Makers Association. He found that there was a feeling of optimism among builders, who explained that they were behind with their building programme this year. The situation was so urgent that it would be absolutely necessary to undertake a very large programme next season. In consequence they all predicted a good market for provin- cial lumber next season. Many buyers from United States lumber dealers have visited the province during the last few weeks. They find that the price of random continues to hold strong and in some instances have increased. This is due to the supply in first hands being very light and they agreed that the advance was, therefore, easily explained and justified. Some predicted that still higher prices are inevitable. One of the large lumber producers of New Brunswick recently received orders for random at $38 and $39, but refused to fill them unless he received $40. From this price must be deducted the cost of shipment and the commission. Shipments by rail average $7.50 with $1.90 for commission, while by water the price is $6.00 with $1.90 for commission. The prices quoted in St. John shows a range from $28 to $40. | : A numberof orders are being filled for 2 x 3 and 2 x 4 at $29. There is a scarcity of 2 x 8, which is being held by local mills at $34. This price is firm and an increase may follow. The price of 2 x 10 is also firm at $37 at the local mill yards and this is being disposed off in the States for $45. Dealers, who expect prices to take a drop this season now that the mills have practically all stopped cutting, are due to be disappointed. Where the men in the woods were receiving $30 and $35 they are now getting as high as $60 to $70. Even at this rate there is great difficulty in securing experienced men. The price of laths at present is $6.50 and these are being quoted in the Boston and New England markets at $9.50 for 154 inch, while the 1% inch are being sold at $8. Shingles are still holding although there may be a small falling off in the price of seconds as the season advances. First grade shingles are still firm and from all indications will so continue. Domestic Trade in Ottawa is Fairly Active A falling off in orders from American yards, and the continued shortage of labor to man the woods camps, characterized the Ottawa lumber market, during the first two weeks of November. Domestic trade, however, was fairly active, and this helped to tide over an otherwise slow business period. Orders and inquiries from the eastern American yards were about as scarce as the proverbial hen’s tooth, and it was the general opinion of manufacturers that trading with the eastern U. S. yards would remain dull until such time, as western U. S. manufactured stocks, which are underselling Canadian grades, are gotten off the market. Lumbermen stated that they at the present could not afford to cut prices to meet those of the western U. S. manufacturers, unless they were prepared to accept a substantial loss. Meanwhile the Ottawa Valley lumbermen intend to sit back and bide their time, until a season arrives to take care of their stocks. The manufac- turers maintain that their stock have cost them good money to pro- duce, and they cannot see the policy of slaughtering prices for the i) Pea Se Se PLT EES pe ' fe CANADA LUMBERMAN TREE PIy Se Linn Logging Tractor in operation by Austin & Nicholson, Limited, of Chapleau, Ont. LINN LOGGING TRACTOR — The above illustration shows what we believe to be the largest and heaviest sleigh train of logs ever hauled at any time, anywhere. Austin & Nicholson, Limited, will be operating their Linn equipment on the same operation (back of Esher, Ont.) during the coming haul and these same sized trains, each loaded with a thousand logs, can be seen every day during the hauling period making their regular trips—one hour and ten minutes going with a load and fifty-five minutes returning with the empty sleighs —hauling distance not less than 6 miles—with a steady up grade of 414% over a distance of four miles. . The photograph, from which the above half tone was made, was taken about four o’clock in the afternoon, and when making the half tone the faces of the men were indistinct and were re- touched—otherwise the half tone is the same as the photograph. | And, in proportion to your grades, the performance pictured above, is no greater than can be found on any Linn operation during the hauling season. The above train contained ten sleighs, and the loads consisted of one thousand green jack pine logs—averaging approximately thirty-two feet per log, or thirty-two thousand feet green tim- ber to the train. “‘Ask the logger who uses one’’ —Leogging Department — MUSSENS LIMITED — Philips Place Building | Montreal sl yr CANADA yet « re #) a ae of meeting the competition of the U. S. Western state manu- facturers. Some of the trade was inclined to the view that the over pro- Bi iction of the western manufacturing companies had been occasion- ed iby having to cut over extensive areas which had recently been visited by forest fires. Until this lumber is off the eastern U. 5S. market, any great activity in the buying of Canadian or Ottawa Valley stocks is not looked for. Local trade was reported as (being tairly active, the chief demand being for mill culls, dead culls, and spruce of the lower grades. Build- ing in Ottawa during October picked up considerable. 110 permits calling for new construction having an estimated valuation of $633,- 365 were issued. Ocfober was the second best building month of the year, from the standpoint of estimated valuation of the new work. For the first 10 months of 1923 there have been 764 permits issued as compared with 1,021 for all of 1922. The value of new structures so far this year is $1,926,225, as compared with $5,021,782 _in the twelve months of 1922. The scarcity of labor for the wood camps, which has prevailed _ for the last six weeks did not show any signs of improvement, and -manutacturers, expressed doubt if they would all be able to fill all _ the camps they had hoped to. Wages however, did not show any advance, but in the Gatineau district, a few jobbers were paying as _ high as $75 and $85 per month with ‘board, One company, which last year imported a number of woodsmen B com Gaspe, Only to have the majority of them decamp after they had _ spent but a short time in the bush, has pretty well decided that the source from Gaspe is not satisfactory and has gone further afield. This company at present has made application to the Minister of Immigration for permission to bring in half a hundred or more Rus- -sians or Poles, which a certain steamship company has already hired ~ in the Old Land. The only hitch in the arrangements so far is that the department . of Immigration wants the employer to promise employment to the _ importations to the end of April, but the Company says that it will _ only guarantee work till April Ist, as its winter camps are broken around that time. Other conditions effecting the market did not show any general change. { | ly is bs i p = = . _ General Conditions in Ontario Somewhat Better There is not much change in the general lumber situation except _ that in the spruce market there is a good demand at slightly higher _ prices. Retail yards report practically no change in conditions and, it is expected, that business with the most of them will be rather quiet until the beginning of the year. Practically all sawmills have _ closed down for the season and the cut is not as large at many quart- _ ers as was anticipated. Of chief interest to the trade at the present _ time is whether present prices will hold and what the outlook is for - the coming year. Stocks with most concerns are much lower than _ they were a year ago as lumber of all kinds, owing to the active de- mand this spring and early summer, was shipped" out more prompt tly than usual. 7 The output of nearly all the mills has been disposed of and log- ging operations will be carried on in most territories more extensive- ly than during last season. It is hard to estimate the increased cost _ of lumbering during the present winter but owing to the scarcity of men and the advance of 25 to 33 1/3 per cent in wages, it is believed that the logs by the time they reach the mill, will cost fully 25 per- _ cent over last winter. In reference to the hardwood situation, one leading operator states that lower prices are not expected for the better end of the log and it is quite possible that the lower grades may be heavy. The hardwood demand is good all, through even through the low grades are practically all cleaned out in some sections for the first time since the boom of 1920. ___In conversation with the “Canada Lumberman” another opera- tor stated that the present price offered for hemlock and spruce in ‘Ontario did not warrant taking out very much stock, Others believe that next year will witness much activity in the building line and here is no reason why operations should be slackened. __ One leading organization in Northwestern Ontario says that the output in their mills has been greater than any season that they have yet operated although producing during the last half of the sea- son was difficult on account of labor unrest. All manufacturers make complaint of the scarcity and ineficiency of labor and say ey have never found conditions so difficult in Northern Ontario. lumberjack is very unsettled and restless and as a result effi- cy is being reduced to a low level. Based on the difficulties in ges alone, operating costs will be about 25 to 35 per cent greater la he! ago but with the lack of efficiency added, it is difficult to a pr a aa tite + i Se Dy eg greg pie yo -Western States. LUMBERMAN 63 estimate what the result will be. The opinion is expressed by sever- al lumbermen that it is doubtful if any possible advance in the price of lumber this year will take care of the added operating cost. Another Eastern Ontario lumberman says that the cost of pro- duction this season will be at least 35 per cent greater than a year ago, and if firms in the Ottawa Valley are unsuccessful in securing sufficient help, the advance will be more like 50 per cent. In reference to the advance in the value of lumber to take care of the extra cost, it is not thought that this will work out. It is beginning to look as if there would-have to be a reduction in prices according to one authority, particularly in the middle grade white pine, in order to meet competition from the West Coast and the “We have been hoping,’ concluded the lumber- man in question, “that the prices in the West would advance as they are surely selling their product as a loss, and if the Eastern lumber- men have to make any reduction in prices, it will mean quite a serious loss to them.” The lath market is rather quiet at the present time and several dealers have considerable stocks on hand. A number of sales, how- ever, have taken place of late and prices at the mill remain fairly firm. ‘The demand for spruce lath in the East is particularly good. Speaking of the future and present conditions in the lumber arena, a leading Toronto wholesaler stated lately that dry stocks in Ontario spruce and jack pine were scarce at the present time and prices were ruling firm. Low-grade lumber just now is not plenti- ful and all available sources of supply have been pretty well combed for No. 1 and No. 2 mill culls. Common, box and dressing in white pine is not moving as freely of late across the border owing to com- petition from Idaho pine which has come down somewhat in price and is shutting out the Ontario product. “I have,” he declared,” visited a number of mills in the north and they are all of the opinion that lumber will be a dearer commodity next year, not only by reason of the sales tax being doubled but also from the fact that it will cost from $3 to $6 more per M, b.m., to get out logs due to greatly in- creased wages and general inefficiency of labor. “Now, the question arises, who is going to absorb this increase in the price of production? Will it be the mill man or the whole- saler? In the spring, if the market is active and the outlook brisk, the wholesaler will have to pay the extra amount but if conditions are stationary and there is no particular flurry, it would seem that the mill man would have to absorb this augmented outlay. You will thus see that the situation is a most interesting one from a specu- lative standpoint. “Tt is just about a year ago now that the demand set in from | the American side for softwoods and mill stocks, which were heavy, were shipped out rapidly. This lowered the various quantities and sizes in the different piling grounds almost to the minimum and the brisk demand last spring caused a free movement of lumber, The result is to-day that mill stocks of the usual widths, thicknesses and lengths, carried by northern manufacturers at this particular season, are considerably lower than is customary. Shipments have gone for- ward rapidly and the distribution was never more prompt and effi- cient than it has been for the past few months. “Tt is only lately since the demand has fallen off but some mills © have been replenishing their stocks. On the whole, however, I found — a strong under-current of confidence in the future of the market. This is indicated by the fact that most companies are putting in more and larger camps than usual in preparation for a big winter’s cut.” Big Contract for Hardwood Ties Awarded A recent despatch from Campbellton, N.B., says that the Cana- dian National Railways have awarded a large contract to fill their | requirements in the hardwood tie line to J. Wesley MacDonald, © lumber dealer of Campbellton, and Herbert Grier, of Montreal. The transaction, which was completed recently, is known to be a large © one. A smaller contract has also been awarded to J. H. Flemming, — of Woodstock, N.B., and these two contracts will take care of the ~ entire year’s output of the new creosote plant at Newcastle. The territory specified in the contract to be covered by Mac- Donald and Grier comprises the following districts: From Mont — Joli to Moncton on the main line of the C. N. Rys.; from Campbell- ton to Limerick on the I.N.R., and from Newcastle to Blissfield in the central part of the province. The recently awarded contract — further makes the above mentioned dealers the sole buyers of hard- wood ties in these different districts. The arrangement calls for four kinds of wood, namely: maple, birch, beech and elm and herein is presented a fine opportunity for smaller mills whose owners may be interested and desirous of entering this phase of the lumbering business. 64 CANADA LUMBERMAN oe SPRUCE ROUGH OR DRESSED THE EAGLE LUMBER CO.

The Brompton Pulp & Paper Co. of East Angus, Que., announ- ces its intention of redeeming on November Ist the balance of thes issue of first mortgage sinking fund 6 per cent. bonds maturing in 1927, at 105 and accrued interest. This issue, which was put out in 1907 eS amounted to ‘$1, 009,000, $896,000 having been Digg yiously redeemed. The total funded debt of the company, as shown in the last annual balance sheet, was $5,153,200, the bonds which, it is planned, to retire being the oldest of four issues. First. con- f solidated sixes, due 1935, to the amount of $104,000, are held in escrow to provide for the redemption. 4 First mortgage bond holders of Clarke Bros. Limited., of Bear River, N. S., have voted to accept an offer of purchase of company’s properties as submitted by a group of Chicago and Milwaukee fin- anciers. American interests will proceed at once with the reorgan- ization of a new company to be formed under Dominion charter. F: Supplementary letters patent have been granted, changing the name of La Compagnie Chas. A. Julien, “imitee, to Supreme _ Foundry Limitee, with head office at Pont-Rouge, Portneuf County, Que. The company is empowered to deal in lumber and operate a timber business in all its branches and to construct sawmills, lum- _ ber yards, etc., as well as develop electric power and make all: kinds _ of machinery. Ri A recent despatch from Fort William says that the annual - treking of timber and pulpwood cutters to the woods has com- - menced, several of the larger concerns now having men and supplies on their way to the site of operation. The Fort William Paper Co. lately sent a large quota of pulpwood cutters to Yonde, their chief camp, 172 miles west on the Grand Trunk line to Sioux Lookout. _ The average wage is $45.00 a month and board. é 1 The Canadian Forestry Association, of Ottawa, is establishing local branches in Belleville, Brockville, Kingston and Cobourg. Fred. _ W. Brown, of the C.F.A. staff, was recently in Belleville enlarging the membership of the Association which represents a union of _ 15,000 Canadian citizens actively developing reforestation and forest fire prevention. Twenty educational campaigns are in constant oper- _ ation including the use of railway exhibit and lecture cars, field lec- urers, motion pictures and many other methods. ‘ The Ontario Government recently awarded a timber area, some eighteen miles in extent, situated in Bond township, to the Hawk Lake Lumber Co., of Monteith. The area has been damaged by fire and the contractor for it will pay the following prices for pulpwood _and other timber :—Spruce, poplar and basswood, $4.76 per M ft.; for pine, $3.76 per M feet; for tamarac and other timber, $2.26 per _M feet; for spruce pulp, $1.31 per cord; for other pulp, 49 cents per cord; and for fuelwood, 31 cents per cord. s) els Attracted by the good wages paid in lumber camps near Ville Marie, Haileybury and Kipawa, by the Riordon interests, five hun- dred young farmers, residing mostly in Champlain county, left Que- bec lately, for those Quebec-Ontario border points. They will spend the winter in that section, joining some two hundred residents of the district of Quebec, who recently left for the same point. This is a record number of men leaving Quebec at one time for lumber camps. The majority took their own horses. P. W. Gardiner & Son, of Galt, Ont., have lost no time in com- -mencing to rebuild the portion of their plant which was recently _ destroyed by fire. The debris has been cleared away and a one- _ storey fireproof brick storehouse for lumber for purposes of manu- | facture is being erected. The building is 160 x 100 feet and is situ- - ated north of the factory. In reconstructing the destroyed sections, _ the company plan a change in the layout of the buildings, with a ' view to not only greater safety but also for increased efficiency. Immediate exploitation of the group of rapids on the Megis- _ cane River has been decided upon by the syndicate which recently _ leased them by auction from the Government. The syndicate in- _ cluded L. N. Huard, of Levis, who represented certain interests said - to include E. W. Tobin, M.P., of the Brompton Pulp & Paper Co., _ Limited. Work has been commenced, the plans decided upon inclu- fe _ ding not only the immediate harnessing of all the water-power avail- able but also the construction of a pulp mill at an estimated cost of | $1,000,000, as well as a newsprint mill at an, additional expenditure - of over $1,009,000. The mills will be located in proximity to im- | portant timber limits in the Temiskaming and are expected to be in _ operation by the end of 1924. a The timber interests of British Columbia have for the past _ month or two been guessing at the amount of lumber that will be _ consumed in the reconstruction of the devastated Japanese cities. ' With the arrival of Takao Takata, millionaire financier of Japan, who ‘has come to America to carry out detail work in connection with | Purchases of large consignments of lumber and steel, it is learned | that approximately 100,800,000 feet is the approximate total number | of feet that will be the Japanese order of lumber. Immediate build- ing in Japan will only be temporary until the Government has drafted the new plans for both Tokio and Yokahama. For this _ teason there will be an immediate demand for cheap grades of lum- _ ber from Canada and most of the buildings in the wrecked cities will be of a temporary nature. aS sg Sir acre Tae, CANADA LUMBERMAN 65 The C.

George R. Hackett, vice-president and gereral-manager of Rob- ~ ertson & Hackett Sawmills Limited, Vancouver, B. C., spent a few days recently in Toronto and the East. Mr. Hackett is a director of the B. C. Lumber & Shingle Manufacturers’ Association. The Spanish River Pulp & Paper Mills have announced that cee will build a new slip and wharves on the river front just below their general offices at Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. The slip will be about 800 — feet long and 200 feet wide and will cost approximately $400,000. A party of 300 Russian woodsmen recently arrived in Quebec. They have secured employment with various lumbering firms in the © provinces of Ontario and Quebec and were met on their arrival by employment agents who took them to their various destinations. H. J. Borbridge, a well-known harness manufacturer who died recently in Ottawa, left an estate of $229,000 to be divided among his — children. The late Mr. Borbridge was well known in lumber circles — having supplied many companies throughout Canada with harness ~ for their woods operations. The name of the Naylor-Osborne Co., of Sandwich, Ont., has been changed to the Sandwich Lumber Co. The alteration in the style was made recently to save confusion ‘between the Nay- — lor-Osborne Co:, Limited, of Essex and Tecumseh and the Ney eam Osborne Co. of Sandwich. It is stated authoritatively that the E. B. Eddy Co., Limited, of : Hull, Que., is not a member of the recently formed Swedish match trust. The new trust controls the output of matches in some coun-— tries and several corporations are reported to have joined the merger but the Eddy Co. is not one of them. The Stewart-Atkinson Co. who are operating a mill on the south ~ shore at St. Romuald, Que., have completed plans for the installation ~ of additional machinery and will embark in the manufacture of pulp — and paper. The company intend to employ nearly 1500 men upon the completion of their present project. The new newsprint mill of the Bathurst Co. at Bathurst, N.B., is” now turhing out 55 tons per day and it is expected that 60 tons will be turned out during the present month. This is a splendid record ~ for a plant which began producing only a couple of months ago and — the quality of the product purchased is of the highest type. i A miniature model bungalow is to be a leading feature of the exhibit of British Columbia timber products and manufactures to be shown at the British Empire Exhibition in London next year. The — British Columbia Lumber Manufacturers’ Association has been ren- — dering the Government Forest Service every assistance in securing — choice specimens .manufactured and unmanufactured, in ene rohets LS ee Oe | r¥ q and finished. Every variety of timber ordinarily exploited commer- cially is included. The main object is to get together a representa- tive exhibit which will show the Old Country people the architec- ' ture, materials and manner of construction of the wood frame house, as ordinarily built on this continent. Every sort of millwork, sash, doors, panels, frames, and moldings, as well as saw and scroll work “an wood turning will be included in the exhibit. a Arrangements have been completed for the handling of an issue “of $5,000,000, 6 per cent., 20-year bonds for the Quebec Power Co. lt is reported that the Quebec Power Co. will sell the waterpower _ t) an important pulp company which will erect a mill near Quebec _ City. The name of the St. Regis Pulp Co. is mentioned in this con- ~ nection. ‘ The extension to the wood room of the Abitibi Power & Pulp _ Co. at Iroquois Falls, Ont., has been completed. Four new barking _ drums have been installed and are in operation. The new upper and _ lower water tanks are also finished. When the eight drum barkers are at work, the capacity of the plant will be double to what it was. _ When pressed the barkers will bark as high as 2400 cords a day. f. ; A cargo of lumber recently went forward on the “Canadian _ Transporter” from Vancouver to Japan. The entire cargo was sent as a gift from the B. C. Provincial Government. The various mills _ gave the lumber at actual cost, the Government pro-rating the quan- _ tity each mill should give. Mr. Haskell was sent by the Government _ with the lumber cargo and he will devote his attention to the study _ of the prospects of further lumber requirements in Japan. *\ charter has been granted to Sealofelt Limited, with head office in Souris, Man., and a capital stock of $30,000. Among the incorpor- _ ators of the company are William V. Anderson, Robert G. Knight _ of Selkirk, and others. The organization is empowered to carry on F the business of merchants, manufacturers and dealers in paper, wall- _ board and other preparations and products from cereal straw, flax straw or any other fibrous material. The Pulpwood Commission which recently held a sitting at ~ Campbellton, N. B., which was the final session of that body in the _ Maritime provinces, heard several witnesses, all of whom were _ opposed to the proposed embargo. David Champoux, of Resti- _ gouche, who is second vice-president of the Canadian Lumbermen’s _ Association and a large owner of timber limits both in New Bruns- _ wick and Quebec, was inclined to think there should be some restric- _ tions imposed on too free forest exploitation. ; by ™, The demand for experienced men to work in the bush continues. _ to be more active than the supply, according to advices from St. _ John, N: B. The wages to be paid this year will be from $45 to $60 a month and is approximately the same as last year. Many skilled _ workmen in all classes of trade have migrated to the United States _ from this part of the country to take part in the boom now going on _ south of the border. This has made a noticeable gap in the ranks and is no doubt responsible for the high wages being paid. p “How much unmanufactured timber was exported in the year _ from British Columbia? This was a question which was asked by _ Canon Hinchcliffe, member for Victoria, B. C:, in an investigation to _ ascertain the difference between manufactured and unmanufactured _ timber. Last year British Columbia exported 72,000,000 feet of un- manufactured timber. There was a difference of $15.00 per M. be- _ tween manufactured and unmanufactured timber which would have _ meant an additional million dollars for the province if the timber had _ been sawn in British Columbia. Ontario lumber interests are continuing to obtain good bushmen from the province of Quebec for the unusually active season expected in the lumber camps this winter. Recently a special Canadian é National Railway train comprising four colonist cars and twelve Bs a, Ft a cars, accommodating teams of horses and equipment, passed through _ Quebec City on its way to Smooth Rock Falls, Ont., where the men _ are to spend the next six or seven months. The Riordon interests _ recently organized another shipment of 300 men from Champlain | County for its camps in Ville Marie, Haileybury and Kipawa. The E. Burtt Lumber Co. and the Doaktown Lumber Co., which companies are controlled by Elwood Burtt, of Fredericton, N. B.., _ with mills at Burtt’s Corner and Doaktown, have completed their _ sawing during the present season. The Doaktown Lumber Co. con- | cluded its first complete season under new management with an _ output approximately of 3,000,000 feet, while the E. Burtt Lumber _Co, cleaned up all the available supply of logs and completed its season’s output of more than 5,000,000 feet. Mr. Burtt stated tecently that his companies were preparing for about the usual cut of lumber during the coming winter for next season’s sawing. About 3,000,000 feet of logs will be cut for the Doaktown Lumber Co. and between 4,000,009 and 5,000,000 feet will be the cut for the Burtt’s Corner mill, which, with the 700,000 or 800,000 feet of logs which did not reach the mill this season, will give a full year’s operation. sae CANADA LUMBERMAN 69 WIRE ROPE “We have the Right Rope for every purpose” The contributing factors in making good Wire Rope are: 1.

The large number of “Caterpillar”* Loggers used in the north- ern woods, as well as in the logging operations all over the world, and the numerous repeat orders placed by satisfied users, are the strongest possible proofs of the practical value of the “Caterpillar” as compared with any other method. Winter work is always emergency in character; short logging seasons demand continuous operation and maximum output. The “Caterpillar” has established convincing records for dependable performance on the operations of many of the largest lumber and pulpwood manufacturers, as well as on the operations of contractors and Branches at Sy dney and New Glasgow, N. S. loggers of smaller tracts. The Anglo-Newfoundland Development Co. says: “Last winter our two “Caterpillars”, operating an average of 11014 days each, hauled 10984 cords of green pulowood over ordinary snow roads. We are convinced that. “Caterpillars” provide great economy in this country and are reducing our hauling costs approximately 50%.” For their 1923-24 operations, the Anglo-Newfoundland Develop- ment Company have purchased six additional “Caterpillars”. The Mt. Murray Woodlands Corporations, St. Fidele, Quebec after highly successful “Caterpillar” operations last winter, in- cluding comparative tests with other methods and machines, have adopted “Caterpillar” Tractors exclusively and purchased an additional fleet of four loggers for this winter’s work. The Abitibi Power and Paper Company, Iroquois Falls, Ontario, had highly satisfactory results last winter, reporting a reduction of 50% over their previous hauling costs.

You can’t see any oil on the timbers in this picture. The oil is on the bearings, where it belongs, and not on the timbers, where it is dangerous. When timbers are pure white, glistening and clean, the oil can be seen at the first splash and, wiped off immediately. That’s good housekeeping that helps prevent fires and keep insurance rates down. And to keep those timbers white and safe there is just one ap- proved paint—Tropical Oil Resisting White. The Only Oil Resisting White Approved by Insurance Underwriters The Underwriters’ Laboratories of the National Board of Fire Underwriters have tested and approved Tropical Oil Resisting White. The Rankin-Benedict Underwriting Company and the U.S. Epperson Underwriting Company fully endorse the use of Tropical Oil Resisting White to reduce the fire hazard. And the users include hundreds of the leading lumber companies of America such as The Long-Bell Company, Great Southern Lum- ber Co., Tidewater Hardwood Corp., Peavy Moore Lumber Co. TROPICAL Oil Resisting White We'll send you— If you will mail us your name on the coupon below we will send test panels, in- surance report and folder illustrating how prominent mills use Tropical Oil Resisting White.

Birch as a wood lends itself admir- ably to the manufacture of flooring. Mus- koka-grown Black Birch yields the toughest of wood in four grades and colors. It offers the most economical solution to flooring problems for schools, offices and homes. Birch flooring takes all finishes well, and is more adaptable than any other hardwood. “Red Deer Brand” Birch is cut from selected stock and is absolutely uniform. It wears as well as the hardest maple and requires but little “matching-up.” Huntsville os BIRCH Maple and Oak An all-Canadian Product 'formly cut.

Yarger than in 1922; The present and the future are always ‘interesting in the lumber arena and, at the -¢lose of another’ season’s activities in the forest. products line when building contracts for the year and industrial buying have practically been completed, stocks shipped out and logging operations undertaken, it is perhaps well to survey conditions. There are many and varied reports regarding the quantities of lumber on hand in the various mill yards, the amounts sawn during the past season and the probable size of the cut during the coming winter months. _ Another question which arises is how do lumbermen regard the future? What have they to say about present conditions and the outlook in the trade? How will prices shape up and will present values be main- tained? These questions are, of course, largely speculative and cannot be answered with mathematical precision but it is inter- esting to learn the views of those, who are the leading factors in this national calling and present them firsthand. Summary of Salient Points The “Canada Lumberman” has _inter- viewed a number of representative sawmill men in various parts of the East. It will be found, with searcely an exception, that cer- tain characteristics or features of the situa- tion have obtained during the past season. Among these are that stocks are lower from. 10 to 40 per cent at the present time than they were in the corresponding month of last year; that, in most centres, the amount of lumber cut was fully as large if not that operating condi- tions, so far as the fall weather is concerned, have been conducive to mills running unusu- ally late; that lumber has been shipped out more promptly and regularly than in previ- ous years; that distribution has been excep- tionally favorable both by land and water; ' that present prices are holding in most instances and may be higher on certain grades next year; that there is a scarcity of low grades of lumber which are command- ing a firm figure; that logging activities, in spite of an increase of from 25 to 33 per cent in wages and the general shortage and inefficiency of men, will be conducted on a somewhat larger scale than last year; that it will cost $3 to $6 more per M., b.m. to get out logs than it did last year, etc. The gen- eral opinion is that, taking all things into = consideration, lumbermen will see a strong and active market next spring. Another segment that presented itself was, that woods operations in not a few in- i Beiences would have been much larger’ than ney are—this applies particularly to Que- bec and New Brunswick—if wages were not How Do Stocks Compare with Last YearP—Will the Average Cut This Winter be Larger or Smaller?—What will be the Effect on Existing ValuesP—The Labor Problem is Thorn in Side of Most Producers so excessive and men so scarce and restless. The fall depression in trade in several allied lines has also influenced Some producers to curtail their activities. Cut Will Be Greater Letherby & Chew, of Midland, Ont., state that 1923 production was about 25 per cent. greater than 1922 and their stock is all sold. They have the same number of camps as last year but as they will have more men in them and have them located in a thicker and Iar- ger stand of timber, they hope to get out about 25 per cent. greater production in feet than during 1922-3. They have their camps pretty well filled with men but, generally speaking, those in the bush are not as eff- cient as in previous years and the rate ot wages is about 25 per cent. higher. It is too far in advance of the time for establishing quotations for 1924, say the firm, to venture an opinion respecting the extent to which a price increase will be necessary to take care of ascending costs in production. , Stock is Considerably Less The Fassett Timber Co. of Fassett, Que., state that the volume of stock shipped this year by them is, at least 50 per cent. greater than the previous year. The present quan- tity on hand is about 33 per cent. less than it was during the corresponding period of 1922. The company have five camps in operation and are very short of good men. The woods class of labor seems to be scarce in and around Fassett with wages very h’gh. It is hard to say how much higher they will go but the firm estimate conservatively that they may jump up 50 per cent. above last year. Concluding, the company remark: “As to the estimated increase in the cost of production, it is too early yet to see what this will be, as undoubtedly, besides the in- creased cost of logging, there evidently will be an increase in manufacture. Under these conditions, we look for higher prices this coming year.” Good Seascn on The Whole George Burchill & Sons, of South Nelson, N. B., state that all the mills in that district Have finished their operations for the year. The season now drawing to a close has been Coming Year’s Costs and Demand larger than the preceding year and consisted largely of deals for the British market. These have all been disposed of and what they have on hand consist of stocks suitable for the American market and some white pine, which they hope to move this winter. The entire stock is much less than in 1922. Quite a large business has been done in lath for the U. S. market. Operations in the woods in the South Nelson district will be on somewhat larger scale than last season,—due principally to the fact that operators are making an effort to salvage as much as possible of the lumber damaged by the bud-worm and forest fires, —much of which if allowed to remain for another season will be practically valueless. Men for the camps have, up to the pre- sent, been hard to obtain, and much of that obtainable is of an inferior quality, but with the closing down of mills and the return of harvesters, conditions are easier. Wages, however, are much higher than last season, probably 30% higher; ‘and while some items which enter into log production are lower, the cost of production on the whole will be 10 to 15% over that of last season. Whether we will be able to obtain sufficient advance in price to meet this, remains to be seen. The firm conclude “So far, we have had ideal weather for operating, and we hope conditions for the balance of the season will be as favorable. On the whole, the situation does not look any too bright as conditions are not good in Great Britain, where most of our lumber finds a market and where stocks have accumulated during the past two months—the consumption not keeping pace with the supply; but we are living in the hope, that before our lumber is ready for the market, an improved state of affairs may prevail in ‘the British field, as well as in those of the U. S. Ran Mill Until Very Late The Bethune Pulp & Lumber Co., of Huntsville, Ont., ran their mill until the recent freeze-up. Their stock of softwoods will be smaller than in 1922 but they havea larger cut of birch and maple. The Bethune Co. have about the same number of men in the woods as last year and will devote most of their efforts to hardwoods as the prices offered for hemlock and spruce do not, in their opinion, warrant taking out very much stock. The advance in wages alone is ap- proximately 25 per cent. and, so far as soft- woods are concerned, no such increases have been offered in price. Hardwood is good all through, even the low grades, and practic- ally all of these are cleaned out for the first time since the boom of 1920. In and around Huntsville the chief difficulty is the labor 4 ee higher. peextta cost of ~year. nm shortage. irms are away behind in ship- ping and the Bethune Co. has just managed to have enough men at ound to keep things going. 1924 Should Be Good The Pearce Co., of Marmora, Ont., report considerable improvement in lumber condi- tions during the past year as compared. with the preceding two years. The outlook ap- pears to be promising and the firm believe that 1924 will be quite as good, if not better, than 1923. Prices have not been what they consider adequate for some classes but they have showed improvement. Wages for mill hands have been higher during the past sum- mer and they will be much higher in the bush during the coming winter. Labor ap- pears none too plentiful at the present time and as soon as the hunting season is over and all the harvesters get back from the West, this condition should be relieved to some extent. Operating costs will be con- siderably higher during the coming winter and prices must advance accordingly. The sales for the past year have been better than for 1922 and the Pearce Co. are carrying about the samé amount of stock. They be- lieve the hardwood market will stiffen con- siderably. Dry stocks in and around Mar- mora appear to be pretty well cleaned up. Piece Work Not Satisfactory The Mageau Lumber Co., of Field, Ont., intend cutting 100,000 white pine logs during the coming winter, this being about 20 per cent. more than last winter’s cut. Continu- ing, the firm say. “Wages at present are from $45 to $50 in this section of the coun- _try, but it is véry hard to get men to make logs, unless you job them out by the piece. This method we have found, so far, is a very unsatisfactory way of making logs. Some firms are paying as high as 35 cents a piece for a 16 ft. log skidded on the road, and they supply the jobbers with the horses and out- fit to do the work. This brings the logs up to about 40 to 45 cents, and the logs are not nearly as well made as when they are made by day labor. “Everything considered, we feel that lum- ber would need to advance in price if any- thing like a fit margin is to be made by the manufacturer. During the course of the summer, we have paid $3.50 for ordinary labor at the mill, and have had to put two men in a great many places in the plant, where one did the the work before this year. “Summing the whole thing up, we find that wages would be reasonable enough, if the men would only do an honest day’s work, but it is pretty nearly impossible to get a day’s work out of an ordinary laborer this In fact, the output of the ordinary man nowadays, is a little over 50% of the man of four or five years ago.’ An Advance in Log Cost The Fraser Companies Limited, of Fred- ericton, N. B., remark that they have had a very good season in the lumber business during the past summer. The output was somewhat larger than a year ago and their present stock is larger than the correspond- ing ‘period in 1922. They expect to be put- ting in as many camps this coming winter as they had last but are having a little more trouble in getting men and wages are The firm do not know what the getting out logs this winter will be but feel that. there will be quite an _ advance over last season. x ’ Too Many Men Jump Jobs C. Beck Mfg. Co., Limited, of Penetangui- CANADA LUMBERMAN shene, Ont., report that practically all their stock is sold but they had only about two- thirds the usual cut. They are putting in about the same number of camps as usual and so far men have been practically “use- less.” It is one of the serious problems of the lumbermen to find a way to overcome the tremendous labor turnover. From a labor standpoint the company say: “The men are exploited by unscrupulous hiring agents and taken up to the camps, absolute- ly unfit to do the work. Consequently the tremendous cost of hiring and transporting. these men without a cent of return is awful. Every firm seems to be the same and yet they will not lift a finger to work together and help each other. The rate of wages is up about 20% and; on account of the. poor start in getting men into the camps, it is probable that costs will be about 30% higher, and very little producing of logs had been done yet, missing October, one of the finest months we had in years.” In regard to increased prices taking care of augmented costs, the firm say that with business slackening off, there will be no jump in prices until there is a slackening in production. Prices Are Up Twenty Per Cent. The Riordon Pulp Corporation, of Mon- treal, in regard to their lumber activities during the past year at Calumet, Que., state that their production shows a decrease of 15 per cent. and unsold stock to-day is 90 per cent less than usual. Stocks on hand have increased 31 per cent. and their shipments decreased 48 per cent. compared with 1922. Brig. Gen. J. B. White, who has charge of the woods operations of the company, adds: “So far as our Calumet mill is concerned practically no unsold lumber will be carried over into 1924. The values have remained firm and prices advanced about 15% to 20% over 1922. Calumet operates largely on spruce, but the foregoing is practically the situation with regard to pine also. Mill run pine is not moving at present and prices are slightly lower than six months ago. Other grades are firm. Stock in the hands of re- tailers appear to me to be low. Most of them are working on a hand to mouth basis, the result being that the manufacturers are ac- cumulating a considerable stock. The out- look, however, seems to be fairly good and we look for better prices next year.” Outlook in the Ottawa Valley The Shepard & Morse Lumber Co. (Can- ada) Limited, of Ottawa, Ont., ran their mill until the freeze-up and had a most suc- cessful season. They cut more lumber this year than they did a year ago, with about the same quantities sold as last year at this par- ticular time. The Shepard & Morse organization are | endeavoring to put the same number of camps in the woods this winter as they did last, but find bush labor very scarce and hard to handle. The rate of wages is about 30 per cent. more than a year ago and may go still higher. Continuing, the firm say: “The cost of production for this season in the woods, will be at least 35% greater than a year ago, and if we are unsuccessful in secur- ing sufficient help, it will be more like 50% greater. With reference to the advance in price of lumber, to take care of the extra cost, we do not think that this will work out. Now, it is beginning to look as though there would have to bea reduction in prices, particularly in the middle grade white pine, in order to meet competition from the west coast and the western states. We have ‘ed visit to the northern operations of th the thousand and has four camps running be operating their resaw and planing m been hoping that prices in the West would advance, as they are surely selling their pro- duct at a loss.

Men for the woods are scarce and wages about $20.00 per month more than last fall. This means, of course, more expensive logs and, unless the market advances considerably, the mill- men of New Brunswick will be able to show very little profit on their next year’s opera- tions.” Say Stocks are Very Low The Eagle Lumber Co., of Montreal, re- port that stocks in their section are very low and prices have already improved and there is a possibility of making a profit in lumber in the near future. Most mills were discouraged at the prices commanded by spruce during the last two years and have directed their forest operations on hardwood and pine. This should help the quotations on spruce to a certain extent. The com- pany, who find bushmen very scarce and wages considerably higher than last year, in- tend cutting out logs enough to keep their mill running at full capacity, but so far have been unable to secure enough men to fill ‘their camps. Northern Labor Conditions Acute Austin & Nicholson, of Chapleau, Ont., have had a good season and the output of their mills has been greater than any season they have yet operated. Logging conditions were exceedingly difficult particularly during the last half of the season on account of labor unrest. Continuing, the firm declare: “We are endeavoring to operate in the woods to about the same extent as we did last year, but again we are having very great diffi- culty. In our experience we have never found labor conditions so difficult in Nor- thern Ontario. Men seem to be scarce, al- though we do get quite a number, but they never were so unsettled, and efficiency is, as a result, being reduced to the lowest level that we have any knowledge of. Based on the difference in wages alone, operating ' costs would be about 25% to 35% greater, but, with the low level of efficiency added, it is hard to estimate exactly what the result will be. We are doubtful whether any pos- sible advance in the price of lumber this year will take care of the added operating cost, and, to be candid, we look upon the present condition as it faces the Northern Ontario Lumbermen as exceedingly critical, unless some change in the general attitude of work- ing men takes place.” Very Few Complaints to Make The Schroeder Mills & Timber Co. of Pakesley, Ont., regarding the past year’s work, say they have very few complaints to make. Their sawmill has closed down for the season and their cut was about 20,000,000 feet. They have about 29,000,000 feet on hand in the yard as compared with 30,000,- last year. Men, who have been scarce this fall, are coming in more plenti- fully of late. Wages are $5 per month higher than last year and provisions are about the same. ‘The cost of production will be a little more than last season, even if the same favorable weather conditions prevail which can hardly be expected, as last year was exceptionally good. James Ludgate, manager of the company, estimates»that the cost of production will be, at least, 10 per cent. higher than last year. The firm will | take out about the same amount of logs as in 1922-23. The Schroeder Mills & Timber Co. CANADA LUMBERMAN shipped or rather handled more lumber. for other people over the Key Valley Railway which they own and operate, and everything went along very smoothly. Mr. Ludgate says that lumbermen might be interested to know that he went to Cal- gary and got a carload of horses and landed them in Pakesley, in the Sudbury district, for $50 per head cheaper than he could secure them in Ontario. Breeders can raise a good horse in Alberta and sell him for $75 to $100. They can winter the animals there for about $5 per head and have them fat in the spring. The Demand Was Steady Charles H. Nadeau, Port Daniel, Que., say that they have had a very good season and found lumber prices satisfactory with a steady demand. During the year they hand- led about 2,000,000 feet more than usual which represents about 30 per cent. over previous years. Their stock at the present. time is low with only about half a million feet. They have been able to sell every- thing as it was sawed and that shipments were made mostly by water. Vessel freight rates were reasonable and a gvod supply of bottoms always available and the firm were able to get all the cars they required to take care of rail shipments. Mr. Nadeau concludes:—“We intend cutting this year about four to five million feet, which will be an average cut, and wages have gone up fifty to sevently- five per cent. which will increase the cost or our logging twenty per cent. Men are also hard to ob- tain, compared to a year ago. At the present time, we do not find that lumber has gone up any the last few months and prices will certainly have to increase to take care of the additional cost we are put too in gettng out our new cut. We have had a nice, dry fall for logging and prospects are still more fay- orable for a continuation without any snow for some time yet. Mostly all other oper- ators through this section are getting an average cut, and we do not look for any larger surplus of logs being got out over previous years.” Piece Work Done at Sioux Lookout G. E. Farlinger, of Sioux Lookout, Ont., declares that his operations and those of others in the district were considerably lar- ger during the past season than in 1922. Mr. Farlinger expects that the increased cost of production of logs this winter will be offset by increased selling prices. The labor situation has been anything but satisfactory but has improved some during the last two weeks owing to the return of harvest workers from the western wheat fields. The rate paid in the vicinity of Sioux Lookout to bushmen is $45 per month, including board. A considerable portion of the logging operations is carried on through piece work methods; that is, the logs are cut and skidded by three men working in a party who do this work at a price per log. If this mode of operation was not used large- ly in the vicinity of Sioux Lookout, it would be impossible to take out the quantities re- quired for next season’s operations. The weather conditions for drying lum- ber, freighting supplies to camps and the construction of camps could not have been improved on during the past two months. This has, of course, materially assisted oper- ations. The principal forest products taken out in the neighborhood of Sioux Lookout, which is on the Canadian National Railways west of Port Arthur, are railway ties and lumber, ~gr he: eS ae i wie J bn ~ United States. », Oe 2 house aa ne: there beng very little pulpwood cut owing to the long freight haul to points of deliv- ery where it could be ‘manufactured into the — finished article. i “50S How New Brunswickers Feel el An eastern correspondent writes: :-—The past season has been an active one, especial. ly for lumber on the Miramichi. The old stocks have practically been exhausted and the new cutting of this season has found ready market in the British Isles and the The W. M. MacKay Ltd., o 7 St. John, purchased practicality all the 3 ime stock that was available on the Mirami and with the exception of some small lots not sufficient to bring a steamer here for has practically all been shipped out. © The American market has. taken all th 1 ins and)2 in. switch) has largely gone fo: ward by rail, with the exception of abo 13,000,000 to 14,000,000 on Frasers’ Com- pany yards at Nelson. The rest of the lur ber yards show a deserted appearance. have very little left on our yards with exception of pine, and what we have in 1 in. and 2 in. spruce is all sold and will go for- — ward as quickly as we can get cars. Just ats the moment there is some difficulty in get- — be ting what cars are required. We would say | that by January lst, with the exception of 7 Frasers’ stock, ‘there will be practically no stock on this river. We understand that the . latter firm’s stock is all to be shipped out as_ quickly as they can get cars, so it has evid- ently been sold. For the present, woods operations. will bar z about the same extent as last year. The — scarcity of men will to some extent effect — the output, as while some of the lumbermen q have contemplated quite an extensive cut-— ting they have been materially hampered a. the shortage of help. A good many of the men that have gone to the woods are less — 7 efficient than our usual supply. Wages are running from 50% to 60% higher than last year and this has been paid to men not as fe well able to earn it. We would estimate that logs at the mill boom next year will cost $3.00 a thousand at least more than last sea- son. It is difficult to estimate if it will cost more to manuacture next year but we would almost judge that, with the increase in the winter’s wages, that we will have to look for = some advance in the wages paid the mill | men next year. The American market at the moment is _ fairly strong, but does not show any advance for real business over last spring. We, how- ever, think that with the decreased stocks in sight and as old stocks. are all now dis- 7 posed of, that if there is an equal demand ~ from the United States to what there was this year, that they will have to pay more . money to the mills. Unless the manufactur- — ers can get increased cost, it will certainly — leave them-in an awkward position, as there — was no more margin of profit this year than : what the manufacturers were fully entitled © to. Great Britain is getting a conde supply of their timber from Continental and a Baltic points, also Galatz and Central Eur- ope via Hamburg, Rotterdam, etc., which — makes a strong competition with our Can- — adian spruce as exchange is much in their a favour. As the logs from Galatz, etc., run large, they are prepared to supply a large ‘ quantity of 9 in. and up. We have discussed the matter with sev- a eral manufacturers here and they feel that unless there is an increased pric -$ , not be -. j : 4 ; 6 es eee eee by! a satisfactory one for the New Brunswick manufacturers. Costs Are Up 25 Per cent. The Herman Hettler Lumber Co., whose Ontario headquarters are at Midland, say that their business has been steady during the past season although perhaps a little slow. Their output and sales are about the same as for 1922. The company are not _ planning to carry on logging operations as extensively during the coming winter as last and find the supply of men and wages higher than a year ago. It is difficuit to estimate the increased cost of lumbering but it will be, at least, 25 per cent. over last winter. There has been no advance in the price of lumber but instead a decrease. Reports from Various Centres The Searchmont Lumber Co., of Search- mont, Ont., are putting in one camp and two jobbers extra this year and expect to take out a very large cut. The Geddes-Tyson Lumber Co., of Wiar- ton, Ont., say that there was very little change in regard to prices of logs and lum- ber from last season and-there will be the ‘usual cut taken out in that district. F. M. Pope & Son, of Bury, Que., write that they have had a good season in the lum- ber line with an output of about one-third more than a year ago and stock about all shipped out. The company are putting in the same number of camps as in 1922-23 and eg SA! al CANADA LUMBERMAN report that men are not plentiful and wages much higher. What Other Concerns Say The Brompton Pulp & Paper Co., of East Angus, Que., say they have made about the usual cut during the past season and the stock on hand is much less than it was in November 1922. They will cut about the same amount of timber this year as usual and believe that their costs of logging will be about the same as a year ago. Keenan Bros., of Owen Sound, Ont., be- lieve that the outlook for the coming year is good. They do not expect lower prices for the better end of the log but it is quite possible that the lower grades may be heavy. The company have two camps in the north and hope to take out about the usual stock. They are carrying about their regular quan- tity of dry lumber at the present time. Have Shipped All Stock Scotstown Sawmill Co., of Scotstown, Que., say that they find the supply of men to be more plentiful now than it has been for the past few months. Wages are from $15 to $20 higher than last year. The demand for lumber is rather quiet at present but the firm are of the opinion that the market for hardwoods will pick up later. They cut more during the past season than in 1922 and have shipped practically all their stock with the exception of their ash and bass- wood. 45 An Eastern Ontario firm say that their output this season will amount to, approxi- mately, 23,000,000 feet which is about 2,000,- 000 feet greater than a year ago. The stock on hand is about the same as compared with this time last year. In regard to logging operations, the firm say they are endeavor- ing to take out 40,000,000 to 50,000,000 feet, bush scale, but owing to the labor situation, they fear that they may fall short somewhat unless they can fill their camps to capacity during the present month. Help is much scarcer than a year ago and wages run about 35 per cent. increase. It is too early yet, the firm declare, to estimate the increased cost of log production which may be from 25 to 30 per cent. Their New Mill at Little Current The Hope Lumber Co., of Thessalon, Ont., say that their cut at Thessalon, during © the past season was 20,000,000 feet and their Little Current mill 12,000,000 feet. The latter is a new mill with a capacity of 150, _ 000 feet in ten hours. This was not started until August. C. N. Carney, manager of the company, says that they. will have the same number of camps as last year and the cost of logging © will be considerably higher. The help situa- tion is bad and the company cannot get enough men to fill the camps. Bushmen do not stay very long at any place. They are coming and going all the time and wages are higher than last winter. Wholesalers Hear ‘Talks Regarding Sales Tax - “What's new on the sales tax?” was the familiar question heard around the Albany Club, Toronto, on Friday night, November 16th, when the Wholesale Lum- ber Dealers’ Association held a_ lively monthly gathering. A. E. Gordon, chairman, opened by call- ing upon the various committees. L. D. Barclay, chairman of the Entertainment Committee, reported that the committee had decided to postpone their dance until after the Christmas season. A. C. Manbert and A. E. Eckardt of the Legislative Committee were invited to give the members the latest developments on the sales tax situation. Mr. Manbert said there was nothing exactly new about the proposed tax, except that the government was determined to impose the measure as outlined in the am- endment of the Special War Revenue Act of 1915. He explained again, as he had done before to the members, the intricacies of the levy and what the government recog- nized as a finished manufactured product. Shingles and lath had definitely been tagged as finished products. Hugh A. Rose asked Mr. Manbert if the product of a planing mill was considered a manufactured article. Mr. Manbert replied that, undoubtedly, under the new ruling, any product through which a saw or a knife is run, will be considered by the government, a manufactured product. He repeated what - qualifications a wholesaler of lumber must have, before being required to take. out a license, viz., fifty. per cent of the year’s busi- ness must be sold to licensed manufactur- ers. He also explained the recent ruling of pace government in regard to refund upon 4a ae wholesalers, who desire to make . ap peason for deduction of the sales tax Many Points Relating to the In- terpretationand Application Yet to be Cleared Up — Business Conditions Are Improving and Statistics Disclose Evidences of Industrial Expansion—Attitude Towards New Canadians Should Be Cordial paid on materials on hand on the Ist of January 1924, as provided for in Section 19-B.B.B., Subsection 8, in respect of goods which have been, are being, or are to be used in, wrought into or attached to articles to be manufactured or produced for sale, which articles are subject to sales tax, shall signify their intention of so doing in writ- ing on or before December Ist to the Collec- tor of Excise and Customs of the district. The second letter should contain a resume or summary statement of the firm’s business inventory, which should be forwarded not later than March 3lst. And before June Ist the actual claim should be made. A copy of the act is available and can be obtained by each member of the industry from the Collector of Excise and Customs stationed in each district. Mr. Manbert touched upon another point that had evoked considerable controversy among the different lumber associations in the ruling by the government that the tax shall be shown separately on the invoice. He told the members what the Canad an Lumbermen’s Association had done in opposition to the ruling and stated there was a political reason for trying to conceal the tax as much as possible from the general public. Taxes are always obnoxious and the a ft ee OS ; as ee hee id A ee Waele tite } 4 _ 4 Ag _ part of the officials in secur! fewer, who know they are paying them, the © better for the government. A. E. Eckardt, in commenting further upon the tax, stated he had given the problem considerable — thought. It was his opinion, that if it were — at all possible for a wholesaler to refrain — from taking out a license, it would be to his — advantage, as there would inevitably be con- siderable, burdensome record-keeping in connection with a license. On the Threshold of Prosperity Following the business programme, — Chairman Gordon introduced to the mem- — bers J. F. Mackay, treasurer of the Loblaw — Company, Toronto. Mr. Mackay gave a spirited and optimistic address on business prospects in Canada. He said in part: Canada is to-day unquestionably in an advanced stage of convalescence, and the correct attitude for every virile business man — to take is that of unfailing and unfalterin courage. Without stopping to deny that we . have serious problems on our hands it can truthfully be said that all signs point to the fact that we are on the threshold of-a period — of prosperity that will, at least, equal and — may even surpass anything experienced in the past. Perhaps our most complex and difficult problem is that of railway transportation. — Even this requires but a cursory examina- tion to show that rapid progress is being made by the authorities in bringing revenue and expenditure into close relationship to — each other. In fact, two years ago no one could have believed that by the elimination of competing trains and lines and the unifi- cation of management such economies would have been effected. Increased vigor on the — ng and handling of traffic and other changes have resulted surplus of over [wo Millions of Dollars for six months past. gh to believe that it 1s w years when the pub- rating’ licly « 1 roads of the country will prove handsome investment, This can only be management of the roads is “yen authority entirely free from political wire pulling. It is up to Canadians to show they are in a mood to deal sternly and juickly with the politician who endeavors to throttle our railways by manipulation and juggling. Now is the time for business men and citizens generally to make their influence felt on this matter. ‘he possible consequences may prove disastrous to our whole economic life. The Country’s Growing Trade Whe do not have to theorize to-day as to our growing trade. The figures speak for themselves. Automobile licenses issued in Canada this year are ten per cent greater than in 1922; merchandise entered for con- lange in Canada for six months ending Sept. 1923 were valued at $464,330,317 as parce with $363,915,736 for same period of 1922. Exports of Canadian product were $453, 769,440 compared with $388,233,296 for 1922: the total trade showing an increase of about $159,000,000 for the six months. The figures quoted are for six months of 1923. A statement issued the other day for the Government’s fiscal year, 1922-1923, shows a slight decline in value although a ‘healthy increase in volume. The lini doesn’t make much difference so long as the cost of living declines accordingly. For the twelve months end'ng June, LO2s: the Dominion was a_ world trader to the ‘value of 1,844 Millions whereas the world trade of the United States during the same period totalled 7,738 Million dollars. To put it in different form, while our population is roughly one-twelfth that of the U.S. our foreign trade is almost one-quarter that of our neighbor. In other words, we are the largest foreign trader in the world per capita. In 1900 there was hardly a dollar of U.S. capital invested in Canadian enterprise; to- day not less than 2,500 millions of Ameri- can capital is working in Canada, an amount almost equal to British investments. In 1900 the gross value of products man- ufactured in Canada was 481 million dollars. Twenty years later the figure stood at four billions and nineteen million, of which one half was made in Ontario. The ratio of manufactured and semi-manufactured goods to our total exports is fifty-two per cent; in 1890 the percentage was six per cent of the exports. Canadian do not need to apologize for the manner in which they have met the in- dustrial captains of the world on common ground. Our mineral production for first six months of this year is valued at $87,152,000, an increase of 44% over the same period of 1922. The Wheat Crop of West Canada will reap this year a crop equal to, if not greater, than any in her history. The average acreage under crop during the pre-war five years was just under ten mil- lion acres; during the war this rose to 18,- 240,000 acres, while the present acreage is 22,162,000. The most reliable estimate of ,the wheat yield of the three Western Provinces this year is for a crop of 452,503,169 bushels, exceeding the record crop of 1915 by 75 mil- 0 Sete CANADA LUMBERMAN lion bushels. Eastern Canada’s crop is at least, up to the average on the whole. We may look for substantial reductions on debts that have accumulated during lean years in Western Canada. Immigration is once more turning in a substantial tide to our shores, the figures for July last showing an increase of "80% over the corresponding month last year, about 100,000 having arrived this year. Canada has few questions of such far- reaching importance as that of immigration. The bringing in of hundreds of thousands of industrious people from the over-popula- ted countries of Europe will do more to solve the railway problem and lower our tax rates than almost anything else. One of the encouraging signs of recent months is the activity displayed at Ottawa in regard to immigration. We must exercise a certain amount of caution as to the class of settler we admit to our country, but it is possible to be over cautious on this point. First and foremost our welcome must be to our own kith and kin of the British Isles or ‘their descendants from the United States, but there are many other countries of the world from which good hardy people can be had if they are gone after in an aggressive, business-like manner. This year’s crop should prove a magnet to tens of thousands of new comers. Let us look well after these people when they arrive in Canada.

After supper nominations were received for chairman and v-ce-chairman to preside at forthcoming gatherings in 1924. George T. Reid, of Reid & Co., was elected chair- man, and W. E. S.

The recent over-subser tion by $28,000,000 of the $200,000,000 - funding Dominion Loan, followed immedi ately by the absorption of an Ontario loan of $40,090,000 by the Canadian people them- | selves constitute events of the highest importance. The savings and demand de: posits today reach the stupendous total of — almost Two Billion Dollars and are increas- ing rapidly, being 24 millions greater than — at this time last year. United States savings are seventeen billions, to equal ours the figure should be twenty-three billions. t Elect New Men 4 John B. Reid, veteran dealer of Toronto, was present and witnessed the election of his son to the chair, a position which he held for several years when retail lumber as- sociation work was in its infancy. He ad- dressed the members and assured them of ~ the sincerity of his son in the progress and ~ welfare of the association, and to make that - body even more worth-while than it had © been in the past. He asked the members to stand behind the new officers and so add to the prestige and influence of the organiza- i: tion. : ‘ Following the address of the chair, five directors to form an Executive Committee were chosen. The new committee includes W. B. Tennant, Will'am Warren, Thomas Paterson, F. J. Cummings and T. E. Rath- — bone. Horace Boultbee was elected secre- 4 tary-treasurer by acclamation. Chairman George T. Reid called upon Mr. Boultbee to give the members some in- 4 formation regarding the new sales tax. The secretary stated as far as the lumber indus- _ try was concerned, most everyOne was in ~ the dark as to how things were going to work out. Until the act was actually in~— force, no one could decipher the many in- tricactes that it will create in the lumber ~ industry. ' In reference to retail lumber dealers, the — act says that if a retailer manufactures more than $10,000 worth of material a year, he will be reauired by law to take a license for — which he pays the sum of $2. lfia retailer — does not manufacture and is not required to take out a license, the situation is compar- | Sayre eee A eae ae ¥ 4" 4 ‘ W. E. S. Savage, Mimico Newly Eected Vice Chairman atively simple. But if a license is required, the manipulation of the tax becomes com- plicated. Two sets of books would, osten- sibly, have to be maintained to furnish the government with the information which, they say has to be on record. In the case of the licensed man, the government says he is conducting two businesses, manufacturing and retailing, and he must show them, there- fore, that the tax is being taken and how. In regard to the retail lumber business, the tax will cause many inconveniences as explained by Secretary Boultbee. If a manu- facturing retailer has run short of the mater- ial he bought for manufacturing purposes, and on which he did not pay a tax, and he wishes to take some lumber from his retail yard, upon which he did pay the tax, he, therefore, must sell the yard iumber to his mill and keep tab of other similar transac- tions. If anyone could imagine anything more complicated than this, they should let the government know about it. In regard to obtaining refunds for mater- ial on hand at January Ist 1924, retailers, Wm.

Such inven- tory shall show a description of the goods and trade number, if any, and the quantity and value of each kind of goods. Such value, being the value upon which the tax was paid, or payable, shall be regarded as goods on hand. This summary statement must be in the government official’s hands by March 31 and the actual claim by June 1, 1924. In conclusion the secretary advised the members that copies of the new act could be obtained from the district Collector of Customs and Excise. Alex. Rhind spoke on the value of assemblying once a month and hearing one other interpret the signs of the times in an orderly, business-like way. He was strongly in favor of association work, if for no other reason than to take part in the good fellow- ship spirit which prevailed at gatherings composed of men who enjoyed the identical pleasures and disappointments in earning their daily bread. Mr. Rhind suggested the association meet every first Tuesday in the month. W. E. S. Savage, the vice-chairman, echoed the spirit of Mr. Rhind, but stated that the middle of the month would ‘be more satisfactory to all concerned. Before each session the executive would have to come together and make arrangements for the general meeting. Having the gathering on the third Tuesday would enable everything to be completed in the same month and not dragged over into two. The suggestion made by Mr. Savage was finally adopted. Excepting for the month of December, the Toronto branch will meet, at some central point in the city, on the third Tuesday of each month. Why White Pine Has Advanced So Much In Price It is always interesting, if not satisfac- tory, to compare costs. There are different methods of arriving at results. Conceptions of values, overhead, disbursements, etc., will naturally differ. It has been asked by some interests why the price of Ontario white pine is so much higher to-day than it was ten years ago and are present values justi- fied by increased cost of skidding, toeing. sorting, driving, manufacturing, etc. ' A number of lumber firms have been kind enough to supply the “Canada Lumberman” with data,respecting the advances in the different activities during the past decade. This was in response to a questionnaire sent out. The first query was,—What was the cost of standing white pine timber in 1913 as compared with the cost to-day on a given area? One lumber firm states that ten years ago it was $10 to $15 per M and to-day tile cost is $20 to $22 per M. Another firm asserts that the advance according to loca- . tion is all the way from 100 to 150 per cent, while another concern places the figure gen- erally around 70 to 75 per cent. : The second query was,—The approxi- mate cost of skidding logs to-day as com- pared with 1913? Ten years ago the figure was $4 to $5; to-day $8 to $10. That is what is given by one firm. Another com- pany turning out another kind of wood, says that it cost them $10 in 1913 and in 1923 $28, an increase of 250 per cent higher. Much, of course, depends on the type of tim- ber cut. How Board Bill Has Climbed The of camp supplies was the next item dealt with, and an interrogation was made respecting the cost of these in boarding men, per day, in 1913 and the approximate outlay to-day. Here are the different figures given by representative firms :—1913, 20 to 30 cents, 1923,.75 cents to $1; 1923, 43 cents, to-day 55 cents; 1913, 50 cents, to-day $1; feeding teams 1913, $1; to-day $1.50. Cost of hauling logs in 1913 and the cost to-day? Here are some:—1913, $3 to #4; 1923, $6 to $8; 1913, $14; 1923 $32, or an increase of 250 per cent. These figures vary, of course, according to the length of haul, character of roads, timber handled, etc., but the percentages of increase are not so widely differer#t as at first might be imagined. One Central Ontario firm, states that the cost of turning out logs complete, would vary according to location. Possibly one tract could be operated for half the cost of another location, but they fifd their logging expenses are about 250 per cent higher. This, they believe, is practically caused by loca- tion and partly by the lower efficiency per man which they figure about 50 to 75 per cent. The next query dealt with was the cost of driving logs to the mill in 1913 and the cost to-day per M plus loss in towing, which might be estimated as the same as far as (Continued on page 60) CANADA LUMBERMAN Todd Injured in Street Car Collision in a collision rece ntly outside of Windsor, Ont., when two cars of the Win Essex & Lake Shore Railway telescoped near the Devonshire race track, the motorman on one car was killed instant- ly and several persons injured. T. I’. Todd, of Toronto, who was a passenger on the northbound was Se sverely shaken up. The base of his skull was fractured and he suffered a compound fracture of one of his arms as well as inter nal injuries. Along with others he was taken to Grace Hospi- tal, Windsor, where it was a long time before he regained conscious- ness and for some days his life was despaired of. He is now Sate ae recovering. Mr. Todd is the eastern representative of the Adams River Lumber Co., Chase, B. C., and has an office in the Federal Building, Toronto. He had been to the Windsor district on a business trip.

His many friends in the lumber industry sincerely hope that he will recover completely from the effects of his misfortune Quebec Firm Report Good Season Trade A. G. Auger, of the firm of Auger & Son, Limited, of Quebec City, was recently in Montreal on a ‘business trip, looking over pro- spects for future development, which he considered encouraging. _ The firm are princapally engaged in handling railway ties, poles and pulpwood and may enter the Montreal market with a view to secur- ing some of the-retail trade in the lumber line. Many years ago Auger & Son did quite a business with the Old Country in lumber and also in the hay and grain trade but competition in the latter line became too severe to make it a paying undertaking. Auger & Son have also a transportation line of steam and sailing craft from Quebec to points in New Work and New Jersey, carrying chiefly lumber. Mr. Auger stated that trade in this line during the past season had been satisfactory and the prospects good for next season. In this connection there is also a good demand for tonnage of any kind on the Great Lakes and several firms had been doing a fair business"in grain and others were in the market for new tonnage to supply the increasing demand for space as during the war much of the old tonnage was ‘sold off. After concluding his busi- ness here, Mr. Auger left for New York City. Japanese Government Awards Big Contracts The Japanese Embassy has adyrised the National Lumber Man- ufacturers Association that the Japanese Government has awarded contracts for 97,150,000 feet of lumber for use in building dwellings for Japan’s homeless in the area devastated by the earthquake. The Japanese Embassy said negotiations had been closed with — these lumber companies: Douglas Fir Exploitation and Export — Company, representing 108 West Coast mills, for, 96,400,000 feet ot — Douglas Fir and Pacific. Hemlock; and Beanie Bros. Mill Com- — pany, of Ridgefield, Wash., for 750,000 feet of red cedar. The Embassy said that no information could be..given by the Japanese Government at this time conga e the amounts involved in the contracts. A The successful bidders have given assurances that the lumbenml called for by the contracts will be moved to Japan as speedily” asm possible. This will depend in large measure upon’ the ability of the lumber manufacturers to turn out fromthe mills the particular ~ grades and sizes of lumber of various kinds, in’ “accordance with — the Japanese specifications. The Embassy said today that no, fur- ther bids would be asked for, pending further instructions from Tokio. * S National Hardwood ‘May Meet i in Canada “ge Will the next annual meeting of the National’ ‘Hardwood Lum- ber Association be held in Toronto or Montreal?

Regarding prices, they say it is too early yet to make any prediction respecting next year but they believe that it is going to cost forty — per cent more to operate during the coming season ea last. AS there has been considerable trans-Atlantic business during the ee summer, everyone is looking forward for Ss actentt: principally to the English market in 1924. Forests Must be Guarded to Offset Famine Our forest resources will last us a goodly time yet, but it is sign- ificant that the curve of our lumber production has had a downward slant ever since 1911. Why travel through to the bitter end before entering upon plans for the future? We might with profit realize on the experience of other people. The economic results of timber min- ing are inexorable. We cannot eseape these results any more than any — other nation. Why not look after ourselves, and the work can be done more easily and more cheaply now than later. We are particu- larly fortunate in that in the main the land itself is publicly owned; in the eastern United States, before beginning to grow crops. By the growing of timber crops I do not mean planting trees, — but the putting of forest land to continual use. The most urgent move towards such a policy is to concentrate still more on the work of — protection of our forests from fire. Adequate protection of Canada’s forests can never be accomplished with the appropriations for that — purpose made today. it will require twice the expenditure at least. But the real expensiveness of our forest fires is less the timber they destroy than the trees they prevent from growing. They wipe out the oncoming forests which would replace our disappearing vir- gin timber. It is imperative that we give the young growth on our cut-over lands a chance, if we are to have a basis for permanent prosperity, both locally and nationally. We should, without delay, segregate all our large areas of young coniferous growth, designate them as reserved for our future needs, and thoroughly protect them. Of late years there has been a greatly increased interest in the mat- ter of how long our supplies of lumber and pulpwood may last. The — information would make little or no difference in our rate of cutting. The timber is mature and only the pressure of price will slow up the consumption. To take an inventory of our timber resources would — be of little value unless accompanied by a decision to make use of the — estimated duration interval in taking steps to guarantee the next crop.—Dr. J. H. White, Professor of Forestry, University of Toronto. | 4 A section of the new '. lumber city of Long- view, Washington, showing some of the many attractive houses which have been built and are now ‘occupied by the employees of the Long-Bell Lumber Co. The athletic stadi- um may be seen in thie background. Sea Pr Se a4 At the sittings of the Royal Commission on Pulpwood in Tor- onto, several witnesses were heard. The general opinion expressed was that if an embargo was placed upon pulpwood at the present time it would be detrimental to the settlers and small farmers of _ Northern Ontario and the development of that part of the country. One constructive suggestion was made that the embargo might be put on in a few years’ time thereby giving United States buyers an opportunity to erect pulp mills in Canada. One witness stated that it would practically kill the Ontario market if it was decided to impose the embargo in the near future. It was also strongly con- tended that the United States market governed the pulpwood prices in Canada. PAS aby eae A. E. Wicks, of Monteith, president of the Hawk Lake Lum- ber Co., in the course of his remarks said that there is a great field to be opened up by Ontario pulp mills in the use of poplar in mak- ing paper instead of spruce exclusively. Further he said that: “Ontario pulp mills do not use one stick of poplar. U.S. mills do and I believe some is used in Quebec. All the poplar cut in Ontario is therefore exported. And we have whole townships of solid poplar which now are of no use to our mills.” Farmers cutting wood receive for it about as follows: $5.50 to $6, rough, on river banks; $6.75, f.o.b. cars; and up to $9.50 peeled, practically all of which is exported. Of the 33,000 to 50,000 cords handled annually by witness’ concern, one-quarter to one-half is exported, although it controls 150 square miles on lease from the Crown, 6,000 acres freehold. Purchases for their export trade are made from settlers occupying an area equal to the above. Forty percent. of their wood handled in the past four years has been exported. G. W. Lankin, Utterson, said Muskoka and Parry Sound would be ideal places for reforestation operations in pulp bearing woods owing to the unsuitability of the land for agriculture. He favored the transference of settlers in these non-arable areas to the Clay Belt timber areas, under auspices of the Provincial Government, so that new lands may be cleared of timber and at once opened up _ for farming. é 4 t Where Poplar Stands Abound * __R. T. Robinson, buyer for the Johnsonburg Pulp & Paper Mills, Johnsonburg, Pa., spoke of conditions existing in the area to the east of North Bay. In that district, approximately 75 per cent. of the timber stand was poplar. Prices for poplar ranged as high as _ $8 a cord at present, but if an embargo were declared the settler would have no alternative but to dispose of his poplar for firewood at $3.75 a cord. Witness thought that the settlers would be unable to carry on if the latter conditions prevailed. Similar evidence as to the embargo was given by Thomas Con- way, Barry’s Bay, and A. W. Watt, Bracebridge. A. H. Howard, South River, said if the Government saw fit to put an embargo on pulp wood within the next two or three-years it " would give the United States buyers a chance to build mills in ; 1 Canada. : “Tf the embargo were to be placed now, what effect would that have?” queried, the chairman. “It would mean,” witness believed, “that the farmers would practically have to shut down operations. They would have to take up other classes of work in order to make a living. . “Don’t you think putting the embargo on now would force the Americans to come over?” witness was asked. “You would natur- _ would be detrimental to all concerned. It would be better to put _ the embargo on in a few years’ time.’ In answer to further ques- _ tions witness said the American buyers were using up the pulp as st as they could get it. None was being placed in stock. ‘There as no shortage of cars. The difficulty was in securing labor, al- ‘though wages of $50 and $60'a month and board were being offered. __ Mr. Howard claimed that not a few of the forest fires in Ont- CANADA.

He would put them in jail for such offences. Some of them got a few drinks and did not seem to care what happened. Why Pulpwood Has to be Exported James Thompson, of the Thompson & Heyland Lumber Co., ‘loronto, in appearing before the Pulpwood Commission, gave an in- teresting and complete analysis of the pulpwood industry in Ontario. — When he had finished his evidence the members of the Commission had few questions to ask him, so thoroughly did he cover the ground. — At the beginning of his evidence Mr. Thompson stated that per- sonally he preferred to deal with Canadian mills. There were, how- ~ ever, a number of natural causes why pulpwood had to be exported | to the United States. His company exported to the Virginia Pulp & Paper Co., of Tyrone and Williamsburg, Pa., 15,000 cords of pop- — lar each year. He stated that poplar reproduces in fifteen years for cutting as pulpwood and deteriorates in thirty years. Another in- teresting statement was that poplar grew from three to five times ~ as fast as there was a market obtainable. If the sale of this wood © were confined to Canadian mills there would be a serious deterior- _ ation and waste. Mr. Thompson explained the usual practice of the farmers in marketing their rough wood. They receive approximately $4.50 to $4.70 for rough wood loaded on cars and $11 to $11.50 for peeled wood loaded, from American mills around Niagara Falls, N. Y. He pointed out the situation which would obtain if an embargo were placed on pulpwood. A settler living, say, fifty miles from a certain | paper mill and two hundred miles from another Canadian mill, had © only one market for his wood—the nearest mill. This would be inevitable because there are not enough paper mills in Canada to — absorb all its pulpwood, and there would, therefore, be no competi- — tion between them for the settlers’ wood. With the Ameiican mar- ket available there is always an outlet for this surplus. Mr. Thomp- son stated that last year 300,000 cords of all pulpwoods were ex- ported to the United States from eastern Canada. One-third, or © 150,000 cords of this, was poplar. : In giving his evidence on the subject of conservation and per- petuation of the Ontario forests, Mr. Thompson produced figures — showing that last year in Ontario 340,000 acres of forest wealth were © destroyed by fire. This figure represents about four times the con-_ sumption for the same period. In British Columbia Mr. Thompson — stated that conditions were even worse than in Ontario when fire — destroyed twenty-two times as much timber as was taken out in | lumber operations. He pointed out to the commission that the for-— ests would perpetuate themselves if forest fires were eliminated. In reference to the burning of slash, Mr. Thompson referred to the experiences of Henry Ford who is now conductiag his own lum-_ ber operations in Michigan. Mr. Ford has placed the cost of burn- | ing of slash at $2.50 per M. But on account of logging being facili- _ tated by the removal of this debris, the automobile magnate figured © that seventy-five cents is redeemed. This, according to Ford, places’ his slash disposal cost in his operations at $1.75 per M. The chair- man of the Commission asked Mr. Thompson when he considered the best and safest time to carry on slash burning. In the early spring, was Mr. Thompson’s answer. 3 —— Hp er = 2 “ Cannot Estimate Loss of Pulpwood E. P. Heaton, provincial fire marshal for Ontario, in giving his evidence before the Royal Commission investigating the pulp and paper industry, explained the duties of his office. Unless any de- struction of created property followed a fire, he said that no investi-. gation was made. In giving his suggestions with a view to the prevention of forest fires, Mr. Heaton said that he would not care to express his opinions which might involve questions of policy as he was a servant of the province. He said, however, he would gladly place any facts before the Commission in an endeavor to answer any further questions, * ' of tote roads, is a grave menace,” stated Mr. Zavitz. _ ment, under the new rules, has the right to order any such dangerous > CANADA LUMBERMAN. 1s might be adopted with a view to preventing forest | the remark of J. Picard, chairman of the Commission, that is ample room for improvement in the prevention of fires, involving the destruction of large quantities of pulpwood, Mr. Heaton said that it was difficult to get accurate figures showing the destruction of pulpwood by forest fires. Many of the latter occurred unorganized districts and there were numerous instances, where no fire insurance was carried. It was, therefore, he pointed out, only possible to find out the exact losses wherever insurance was carried. From these it had been gathered that in 1920 there were 31 pulp- wood fires in Ontario, involving a loss of $217,000; 38 fires in 1921 with a loss of $195,000; 8 in 1922, excluding Northern Ontario, with a loss of $80,000, while for the present year which had been unusually fortunate, there had been only 8 fires with a loss of $7,280. Fred Hoad, forest engineer of Newmarket, Ont., had nothing complimentary to say about Ontario lumbermen in conducting their operations in the bush. “There is a tremendous waste in our woods,” he said. “I have seen cut-over areas that looked as if they had been mowed down by artillery fire instead of being cut down by lumber- men.” Mr. Hoad did not think an embargo on pulpwood was neces- sary, his observation being that no other industry had made more progress in Canada during the last ten years than pulp and paper- making. cere Chief Forester Speaks on Woods Protection E. J. Zavitz, Chief forester of Ontario, appeared recently before the Royal Commission on Pulpwood in Toronto and made some inter- ‘esting observations on the use of aircraft in forest protection, the burning of slash and the adoption of standard fire protective regu- lations. Mr. Zavitz said that the more general use of aircraft operat- _ ed by the Government and the enforcement of slash burning regula- - tions would constitute the largest factors in the further and moie adequate protection of the forests of the Dominion. Answering questions as to whether or not the Ontario Govern- ment inserted slash-burning clauses in its timber contracts, Mr. Zavitz intimated that legislation might be introduced at the next ses- sion of the ‘Ontario Legislature along that line. He informed the - commission that the most recent sales made by the Government _ carried in the contract a clause binding the timber operators to burn all slash that in the opinion of an officer of the department was a fire _ menace, “Slash that is left around the lumber camps or lying on the side “The Govern- slash burnt.” The chief forester stated that the public interest in fire protec- tion in Ontario was more or less detached owing to the fact that the _ large proportion of the population live so far from the forests. He _ admitted that the feeling would be different in New Brunswick, ow- ing to the fact that the people of that province lived practically close to the woods and were nearly all more or less interested in lumber operations. : Asked what he thought of the introduction of standard fire pro- tection regulations for all provinces, Mr. Zavitz stated that in his opinion it might work out successfully if it could be brought about. _ He added however, that the present protection acts were practically _ alike, extracts being taken from various acts by all provinces. f The enforcement of slash-burning operations might possibly in- | crease the cost of paper, in the opinion of Mr. Zavitz, although he had not given the question study from that viewpoint. . During the year 1922 the province spent $700,000 in fire pro- } tection, while for the fiscal year of 1923, which embraced the big _ northern fires, the expenditure had risen to $1,100,000. Over $150,000 _ of this amount had been spent in new equipment; $60,000 had been ‘| spent on pumps in six weeks. Pulpwood Inquiry is Wide in Scope It is understood the Pulpwood Commission which held sittings _ recently in Toronto, has a mass of material to which it wishes to give specific consideration before proceeding with the hearing of further evidence. Much of the data will be classified and reduced | to concrete form. As one of the commissioners said, “We have considerable work of our own to do before proceeding with further hearings. We will resume after the Christmas holidays with ses- / sions at North Bay and Cochrane after which we will proceed to | British Columbia where we will spend some time. The weight of | evidence presented so far has been against an embargo on pulp- ' wood but the work of the Commission is broader than a mere inquiry into the pulpwood resources of the country _ increased cost of production in the local territory will, therefore, — UES Rain oe | That reproduction is very fast in the budworm area was a repo recently made by Chief Scaler A. T. Murchie, who was returni to Fredericton, N. B., following an official visit to sections of Nort umberland County. In one section, where he travelled for sor miles in areas which ten years ago were devastated by the budwor: he said the second growth of valuable timber appeared in heig from two to ten feet with every appearance of more rapid grow as time went on._ : > He also reported that on the Tabusintac, the Snowball Co. is” carrying on large operations in the burnt-over areas, which had been — scorched by fire last summer. It is estimated that 4,000,000 feet wi tesult from these operations. Asked about the reported labor shortage, he said, that men a now offering in large numbers. The men are hired at a monthly ra of $55 to $60 and these prices are attracting lots of experienced men. Rumors from different parts of the province were to the effect th wages were higher, but in the majority of cases they were unfounded. Reports from different points throughout the province indicat that lumber companies are buying up all of the available cutting for a similar action took place some years ago. Lands that ar for a samilar action took place some years ago. Lands that ar unsuited for saw-logs are being gone over for pulp wood and lat y wood. A ata There is a report that a former York County councillor has suc- — cessfully negotiated a sale of cutting rights on a property he holds © for $21,000, from which. it is said, he sold the stumpage only three — years ago for a then reported price of $20,000. In explanation it is said that, on the first transaction, a payment was made, but the buyers later got into financial difficulties before they completed the deal. This time there is no question of him receiving his money — for the buyers are already operating on the lands. ne Competition for the purchase of the timber license for Berth No. 78 on White Rapids Brook, north of Blackville, containing three square miles, drove the bidding from the upset price of $20 to $85 — per square mile. The sale took place recently at the Department of — Lands and Mines in Fredericton. James W. Smith was the suc- — cessful bidder. _ 5 ky o9! 5 Berth No. 79 was sold at the upset price of $20 per square mile to H. A. Craig. This berth is located on the Bonny River, Char- — lotte County, and contains three square miles. oa Stetson, Cutler & Co. recently loaded three of the largest sailing vessels afloat at Campbellton. An unusual feature was that all — three were loading at the same port at practically the same time. — The vessels were the four masted bark Caledonia, the four masted — bark Marlborough Hill, and the four masted bark Fennia. ‘Their tonnage ranged from 2412 to 2729. " Cie E The saw mills of the Miramichi have all closed for the season, according to J. W. Brankley, of the Miramichi Lumber Co., Ltd., Chatham, N.B., who visited St. John. In conversation with a repre- « sentative of the “Canada Lumberman,” he said, that the crews are now nearly in the woods and the mild weather was ideal for opera- tions. Asked as to the extent of his company’s cut this year, Mr. Brankley said that it would be small, not exceeding fifteen or six- teen million feet. Last year they cut about twenty million, but about one half of this cut was being carried over. : With reference to the market conditions, he said, at present it was not good and the chaotic conditions in Europe, to which is now aades the British election, are features which have a disturbing — eirect. via b at Logging Costs in East Will be Higher — 4a J. & A. Culligan, of Culligan, N. B., say that the past season was a very good one in the lumber line and that their stock has all — been sold and practically all shipped. Their cut during the past — summer was about 25 per cent greater than in 1922 and this coming — season they expect to increase their output over that of 1923 by — 20 per cent. At the beginning they found men scarce but at the — present time are getting all the help they require. Wages in and ~ around Culligan run about $50 per month, with board, during the — logging period. Last year the firm paid around $30, and the — be around 25 to 30 per cent. The firm add that present prices are not sufficient to take care of the augmented outlay, and to make a fair profit this season, producers should get, at least $35.00 for mer- chantable stock, f.o.b. mills. Unless this figure is obtained, it is not thought there will be much margin for 1923-24, _ ; ee , ~~ Dee eee a Giada Jumberman oe a The National Lumber Journal for Forty Years Issued on the Ist and 15th of every month by _ Hugh C.

Whilst this has been done to a large extent, there is still room for improvement, more especially respecting the difference still made in grades between the various provinces. This can only be accomplished ‘by continued efforts to bring the manufacturers and _ dealers in each province more closely together in every way. | An inquiry has recently been put forward by an Ontario firm to several Quebec firms asking what the term “mill run grade” signifies in spruce lumber in the province of Quebec? This at once _ suggests that a difference in grading exists between Ontario and Quebec for spruce, and yet if we remember, that by far the larger portion of northern Quebec spruce finds its market in Toronto, one might suppose that, by this time, any divergences in grading as _ applied to these sister provinces, would have disappeared. ; As a matter of fact the term “mill run grade” is quite ambiguous _ and would be differently interpreted in different localities. In some instances it would mean “clears out and mill culls out;” in another case “all the product of the log from 4th quality and up;” yet another . would say “everything that the log yields in mill culls and better,” —_ ss ere he and a fourth would determine this as “the whole product of a mill, dead culls out.” These answers have come from equally reliable sources. Examining the phrase from a strictly technical standpoint, “mill run grade” might be interpreted as simply meaning the full run of the log in any one particular grade, Such a term is unsatisfactory unless there be something else in the contract to define just exactly what is being bought, and, in contracts made by millmen, it should be properly established what is being sold and bought; for instance, in buying a cut of spruce if _ described as “1 in., 2 in. and 3 in. thick, 4th quality and better,” “full Product of the log in these grades,” it would establish the fact that nothing above those grades was to be taken out and nothing lower in grade was to be included. ___ In these days when lumber has become so valuable and every- _ thing must be carefully watched, any ambiguous statement of quality in buying or selling should be carefully avoided. If this is done, it would eliminate much trouble and expense and also loss of time ‘waiting upon a settlement. en Another item that might be touched upon at this juncture is the ; of lath. A month or two ago a certain wholesaler sold to ’ a ‘ . , a -, od \ we +% r ° AE wy Pe a ee ae ee Pa % = CANADA LUMBERMAN 53 another wholesaler a carload of No. 2 spruce lath, the point of ship- ment not being stated; that is to say, whether is was Quebec, New Brunswick or Nova Scotia lath. On arrival at destination the car was refused as not equal to No. 2 quality, so the matter was placed in the hands of competent authorities for arbitration. After adjudica- ting, the decision given was that, the buyer had consented to or tactly permitted the supplier to ship the lath from any point he might choose, he, (the buyer), exposed himself to be supplied with lath from any province. In this instance, the buyer, no doubt, had in mind No. 2 Quebec quality lath, but as same was not so stated, either verbally or in the contract, according to the arbitrators, he was liable to accept from any province whatever lath called by that name. To overcome such difficulties as described, greater care and watchfulness should be taken when either buying or selling, and this more especially in the case of small mills where greater variation in qualities is apt to be found. Work of the Pulpwood Commission At the recent sittings of the Pulpwood Commission in Toronto those, who attended, were favorably impressed with the thorough- ness and impartiality of the inquiry and the business-like way in which the proceedings were conducted. It must be remembered that the Commission, as constituted, does not take sworn statements or testimonies and has not the power or authority of a judicial body in this respect. All hearings are widely advertised and any, who wish to give evidence, are cor- dially invited to do so. The number of persons, who come forward voluntarily and do anything in the public interest, is never large. All the more credit is due, therefore, to public-spirited and fair- minded men, who travel a considerable distance at their own ex- pense, spend time in studying the whole situation and in delving into conditions pertaining to present and future supply and outlook. The majority have no selfish interest to serve. They are prompted by loyal intent and doing something from a broad, patriotic stand- point. While all are not agreed or do not see eye to eye regarding the proposed embargo on pulpwood, many important facts have so far been brought out. Apart altogether from the question of the ex- port or non-export of freehold wood, a wider knowledge is being gained regarding forest resources, ranging, fire protection, refor- estation, slash burning, insect devastation, land settlement, per- petuity of supplies, different uses of wood and other phases of vital moment relating to colonization, settlement and development. Disinterested spectators, who attended the hearings of the Com- mission, appreciated the earnestness with which the commissioners are investigating a national question of far-reaching importance and the concentration they are bringing to bear upon every aspect of the conservation of our vast natural resources. Attempts have been made in certain quarters to cavil at the personnel of the Commission, by intimating that there is on the Board only one lumberman, Mr. Sutherland, of Clyde River, N. S. This is misleading as Mr. Anstie, of Vancouver, has been associated with timber and milling propositions for many years. Mr. Mc- Lellan has been closely linked up with lumber and pulpwood activi- ties all his life. He is secretary-treasurer of the New Brunswick Lumbermen’s Association, and has also given the pulpwood ques- tion consideration from many standpoints. The chairman, Mr. Picard, of Quebec, and Mr. Kerr, of Toronto, judging by the in- formation which they sought from the various witnesses, have gath- ered practical ideas on the whole matter of forest products and are approaching a solution of the pulpwood problem with an open mind. The Commission has completed its hearings for the present in — Ontario and after the Christmas holidays, will journey to the nor- thern part of the province and then to the Coast where further evidence will be presented. 2 As already pointed out, the Commission has no vested author- ity to subpoena witnesses. If more of those interested have not come forward to give evidence and outline their views, it is not the fault of the Commission who have cordially invited everyone who wishes “to have his say.” Witnesses have been fairly treated and are allowed to present the fullest information on the whole question and give their views in extenso. There are no catch or mystifying questions or legal technicalities in the way of free ex- pression of speech. The wide scope afforded should, upon the pre-— servation and safeguarding of the pulpwood and other timber re- sources of Canada bring to the front maturity of thought, vision and foresight. A power-feeding device on a machine is also a safety device, and helps prevent~accidents as well as to speed up production and lessen the burden of work. >>) Ruling in New Federal Sales Tax A ruling in connection with the new sales Tax, as applied to stocks bought by licensed manufacturers and paid for on pro forma before January Ist, 1924, has been given by the Department of Customs and Excise, in reply to an enquiry from the Eastern Can- ada Box Manufacturers Association. The enquiry sent to the Department was from a box manufac- turer who had purchased from a wholesale lumber dealer who, it was presumed, would be an “unlicensed wholesaler” after the Ist | DEPARTMENT OF CUSTOMS AND EXCISE CHART SHOWING CONSUMPTION OR SALES TAX 10 BE COLLECTED OA PAYABLE ON IMPORTATION ON AND AFTER JANUARY Ist. 1924.

The Department was asked whether, in case of stocks paid for on pro forma before January lst, but not delivered until after that date, the tax would be on the 3% basis or the 6% basis. The Department replied as follows: “If a payment has been made on goods invoiced on pro forma prior to the Ist January next, the tax at the rate of - 3% would apply, if the goods are in the condition of lumber, provided the lumber has been set aside or determined, and is held at the responsibility of the purchaser prior to the Ist January. In other words, if the ownership legally trans- fers to the purchaser prior to the lst January, tax applies at the rate of 3%. Where the ownership legally transfers on or after the lst January, the tax would apply in accord- ance with the Act, which becomes effective on that date.” Ontario Forests Are on the Toboggan Dr. C. D. Howe, dean of the Faculty of Forestry, University of Toronto, delivered a forceful and timely address before the recent convention of the Ontario Associated Boards of Trade which was held in Hamilton. He said that the people were getting what they deserved in having to pay big prices for lumber imported from the United States or transported by expensive rail haul from British Columbia. Ontario was on the toboggan slide in regard to forest products and Mr. Howe wanted to know why the present generation could not profit by the lessons of history. There was only enough pine left in Ontario for from twenty to thirty years and the supply for all practical purposes would be exhausted long before then. Dr. Howe declared that the same destructive policy was being followed in respect to pulpwood. The Government could not be blamed for the rapid depletion of timber. Forest fires were the greagest contributing cause. Ninety per cent. of all forest fires were due to human carelessness over which the Government had only partial control. Only by a sane and aggres- sive forest policy could the gap in production be bridged and this ~ CANADA LUMBERMAN board of trade called on the provincial government to amend the ZO mNS2 3) pe a i a policy must be based on common sense and aimed at maaan continuous production of timber. Unlike a mine, a forest is a storable factor. ~The forests, if properly handled, ‘could be mad yield enough revenue to pay fully one-half the expenses of the G es A. J. Young, North Bay, said the present method of dispos of crown timber reserves was quite wrong. It carried an incen for the owner to squander nature’s resources. Owners had no manent interest. They cut and slashed to make their profit, reg less of the conservation of young growth. The government sho restrict cutting to mature growth. James Keenan, Owen Sound, and A. J. sates North Bay, t submitted the resolution of the Owen Sound board of trade, called on the provincial government to take upon itself refores of waste lands in a large way of buying and fencing the land, p ing it with young trees, and recouping itself for such expendi ur by. issuing long-term bonds. A kindred resolution was submitted by the Brantford cha: nk of commerce. It was felt, however, that the matter might be mc thoroughly dealt with. For that reason it was left to the execu council to frame a new resolution. A resolution submitted by J. A. Hussey of the Sault Ste. M so as to provide for the manufacture of hardwood loges within province in all instances where such logs are sent from crown either under leases now existing or to be issued in the futur was adopted. The Tariff of Quebec Stumpage Dues _ To obviate any misunderstanding which might arise in the minds of persons connected with lumber operations regarding the tariff of | stumpage dues adopted by the Quebec government. in the early part of October, the “Canada Lumberman” publishes the official circular issued by the Department of Lands and Forests, and dated October It will be observed that the prices set forth in this article pub— lished in the November Ist. edition of the “Canada Lumberman” were those quoted for the cutting of spruce, balsam, fir, jack pine, white birch, poplar or aspen, manee should have been read: $1. instead of $1.10. This error was due to the fact that the information secured — at the time from an officer of the Limit Holders’ Association, must have been misunderstood. It may be said, however, that until the official information was given out by the Department of Lands and — Forests, the lumber operators in Quebec were not posted regarding the reduction prices. It may be added that the reduction based on.the 1920 tariffs is, approximately, 6 per cent in the cutting in these burnt areas and, as already stated do not apply to the cutting of green wood even in the burnt areas. oS . The official circular is as follows: Please note that ae ent oka stumpage dues adopted in october 1920 is now in force and vi remdin so until future notice. Please also note that by a decision, dated October llth, 1923, the dues on burnt wood which will be cut during the winter 1923-24, will be as follows per thousand feet, b.m. ° a (a) ‘White pines.» S02. 5 02. aie cane ie ee (b) Red pine, elm, ash, basswood, yellow birch, maple and tamatac..0 2.5... 0 one Ge -(c) Spruce, balsam, fir, jack pine, hemlock, white birch, — poplar. ‘or > |. - ees =, oe EY» 4 hy r ; ee Sh ie" ete) SESE i cag CANADA LUMBERMAN 1) Eo) SO il ea Nes ra fi ue .

Some wholesalers have been out in their various districts searching for new lots to purchase but can find enly an odd car here dnd there and then the specification is a poor one or the price asked much too high to speculate on. ‘here is no fear, however, of anything in the way of a decline from present high levels. The mild weather during the past few weeks is mak- ing everyone feel good and keeps builders busy. The New York, New Jersey and Maine markets are strong and the quantity of construction work shows a surprising increase over last year’s fig- ures for the same period, so that altogether the situation is most promising for active fall trade that should carry well into next year. : The pine market continues high but there is not much likeli- _ hood of any advance as should the same be attempted, buyers must of necessity find other woods as a substitute. The hardwood market is also strong as local building continues heavy and the mild weather experienced during the last few weeks has helped very materially to get ready inside finishing so that there is a somewhat larger demand for flooring and inside finishing. The export market in spruce, pine and red pine is reported somewhat easier, due, of course, to present political disturbances in Europe. Having held steady for the past two months in the face of much uncertainty, a weakness is now becoming discernable; whichis accentuated by the desire of buyers of Baltic lumber in England not to have any lumber left over in Russian ports for the winter as anything might happen with such stocks if not moved bdfore the ice appears. Hardwoods, however, remain firm and Old Country buyers asking for New Brunswick and Nova Scotia birch as the price is so much more reasonable. Quebec Exporters Receive Unexpected Orders As an evidence of Great Britain’s business stability, notwith- standing the complexity of the European political situation, Quebec wood exporters in the beginning of November were in receipt of new orders from the United Kingdom customers which brought about unexpected shipments of timber and deals during the latter two weeks of the month, with the prospects of new business to occasion shipments during the first half of December. In a previous trade letter to the “Canada Lumberman” by its Quebec correspondent, it was stated that one local firm had finished shipping for this season of navigation to the United Kingdom. Since then, however, the unexpected has happened. The firm has reecived an order for the shipment of 200,000 cubic feet, b.m., waney pine timber and several parcels of sawn lumber, the former to be shipped through the port of Quebec and the latter through both the ports of Quebec and Montreal. In the meantime another Que- bec concern has secured an order to ship through the port of Que- bec one thousand loads of waney pine timber to meet the demand of its United Kingdom customers. The latest reports received from the European agents of Que- bec export lumber firms is not in the least discouraging. These advices are sanguine in their opinions that the political horizon of Europe will be clear of its ominous dark clouds within the next few months to encourage the stabilization of business. Alluding to the British general elections, they say that no matter, which party is returned on December 6th, the British public, by a unani- mity of purpose, will compel the Government-elect to lose no time in calling a conference of European Governments to force a settle- ment of the Franco-German difficulty. I'f such a conference does not meet with favorable response, England will act alone, if not in concert with the United States, in extricating the British nation _ from the turmoil of European chaos. Expert students of prevailing conditions do not, however, despair regarding the necessity for drastic measures on the part of England. They point out the desperate state of conditions, which has cornered the French Prime Minister Poincare, in such a _ manner as to force him to seek a compromise, which is expected to ‘materialize before the end of the present year. This will result ractical negotiations for an understanding that will lead to a et potent to allow the world to recover, and when this occurs Great Britain will be the first European nation to profit by the re- leased tension and quickly recover normalcy. Iv the meantime, according to statistical reports from the United Kingdom, trade conditions in England are fifty per cent. below normal. This applies to the shipping and manufacturing in- terests on account of the unparalleled deflation in Euronean ex- change and decreased demand for commodities by the depreciation in the purchasing powers of all European and continental countries. It would appear, however, that the lumber trade in the Old Coun- try is not the hardest hit. The market in London was fairly good during October and the first weeks of November and the business in‘this particular respect fair in the various centres of England. This is due to the house-building in progress, as well as railway and other public works, to meet obligatory conditions. Quebec lumber export firms, generally guided by their export agents and advices, are looking forward to a_ settlement of the reparations question and the political situation, in the near future, to cause a rejuvenation of the timber markets of the United King- dom in 1924. In keeping with their impressions in this regard they have concluded to be ready to meet the situation by an enlargement of their estimates in connection with operations in the woods this winter. This conclusion has been reached from the fact that the stores of timber for export shipment have been pretty well ex- hausted by demands and the desire of shippers to cultivate and maintain the United Kingdom as well as the American market. Heavy Shipment of Lath From Quebec An industry which has been carried on between the port of Quebec and New York all during the summer months and which has, perhaps, been given little attention on the part of Quebecers, but which is proving most important to the local lumber interests, is that of the exporting of laths by canal boat from Louise Basin. It is estimated by the local shippers that over thirty million laths have been sent forward in this way during the present season of naviga- tion, while several shipments have also been made by rail, but these have been of a negligible quantity as compared with the exportations by water. Recently it was noticed that unusual activity was prevailing at the inner Louise Basin in this respect. The quay was piled high with hundreds of bundles of spruce laths, while the canal boat, “Blanche Peslin,” of New York, commanded by Captain Peslin, was at the same time loaded to capacity. Captain Peslin stated that his boat would carry some 860,000 laths for discharge at points on the Hudson River. It was further stated that his principals have handled twenty similar cargoes of the same nature during the past summer, while other interests, also engaged in traffic, have exported some fifteen boat loads. The infor- mation was also given that the laths are brought to this port by schooner from Bor St. Paul and other points in ee Saguenay River, unloaded here and transferred to the canal boats. Ontario Trade Quiet But Outlook Good The tendency at the present time is for consumers to restrict buying as much as possible in order that their inventories may not show up too large at the end of the year. Only such lumber as is required for immediate consumption is being bought at the present time, but business on the whole is better than it was six weeks ago. The tension, so far as help for woods operation is concerned, is less taut to-day than it was a few weeks ago. Owing to the ces- sation of certain outside construction and the return of the har- vesters from the West, the supply of men has become greater, Cutting is proceeding satisfactorily in most camps. Practically all Ontario sawmills have shut down for the season, some having had an unusually long run. So far as the spruce market is concerned, conditions continue very firm and the demand is active. In speaking of the conditions in this line, an authority says that, with the prevailing scarcity of labor, the high prices for some building materials and the approach of winter, caution should be observed in buying, more especially as the export demand is not brisk and there may be large wintering stocks left in Canada that may be offered for sale at any time. In white pine, cull stock is scarce and stiff in price. is not moving so freely but is holding up very well in values. aay eee De a AS A a> Mill run 70 CANADA LUMBERMAN . “Sh alt ea | Dry Birch, All Grades 4/4’, 6/4, 8/4 & 10/4 i Millis at: Mont-Laurier, Lac Saguay, St. Jerome, Senneterre, Que.

Dela Plante, who has been manager of the Beaver ne 3 ber Co., Hamilton, Ont., for several years past, has resigned and — will likely go into business ffor himself. Chas. Dela Plante suc- ceeds him as manager of the company. A delegation of the Timber Industries Council rece waited | upon Hon. T. D. Pattullo, Minister of Lands for British Columbia, protesting against the eight-hour law and asking for a reduction in — timber royalties. The deputation was headed by W. McNeill, man-_ aging-director of the Council. A provincial charter has been granted to the Glengarry Pulp & Paper Co. with an authorized capital of $250,000 and headquarters in Cornwall. The company is empowered to carry on in all its branches the business of manufacturers and dealers in pulp, pulp- — wood, paper of all kinds, lumber, timber, etc. Lt, kc on Chipman McFarlane recently took over the holdings in Curry- — ville and Demoiselle districts, N. B. owned by J. L. Peck, M.L.A. There are about 7,000,000 feet of timber in the area and it is reported that the purchase price was in the vicinity of $25,000. Mr. McFar- — lane has begun logging operations and will, possibly, get out 1,000,- 000 feet this season. a Thompson & Heyland Lumber Co., Toronto, who specialize in — pulpwood, have entered into contracts to supply 67,000 cords of wood within the next six months, about 25 per cent. of which will be exported. As soon as snow arrives in the north and the wood can be hauled to the railway sidings, the company expect to be shipping out the product at the rate of 600 cords a day to various points. Fire recently destroyed the main mill of the United Shingle Co.’s plant on the waterfront at New Westminster, B. C. ‘The loss of $50,000 is said to be covered by insurance. ie McKerchner is head of the company which intends to rebuild immediately. The — mill was a six-machine one. The kilns which were burned in 1920 and again a year later, were all saved on the present occasion apne with the boiler house and shipping shed. Mr. and Mrs. John B. Reid, of Toronto, left ee for their winter home at 621 Boone’s Court, Sit Petersburg, Florida. Mr. Reid, who is honorary-president of the Ontario Retail Lumber Deal-_ ers’ Association, expects to spend the next few months in the sunny — South where his time is actively taken up in bowling, golfing and — sightseeing. He also takes a prominent part in the activities of the @ Canadian Club of that city. The question of the prohibition of the export of pulpwood and — unmanufactured logs was brought to the attention of the British Columbia Legislature recently when Premier Oliver replied to the question of i Hinchcliffe, member for Victoria, by stating that the provincial government was furnishing evidence to the royal com- — mission appointed by the Dominion "Government which will hold hearings in, the western provinces early in the new year. a An important conference on immigration and colonization be- — tween (federal officials and representatives of the various provinces — of Canada was held in Ottawa lately. The object was to consider the best means to get the most people from Europe and the United States to help tap the resources of Canada’s forests, fields and mines. Representatives were present from every province and a number of conferences were held with officials of the various transportation R. W. McLellan, of Fredericton, who is secretary of the New Brunswick Lumbermen’s Association and a member of the, Be Commission on Pulpwood, which lately held a sitting in Toronto, has gone on a trip to Ireland and will be absent several weeks. The visit is one of a purely business character as Mr. McLellan is a director of the Brookfield Linen Co., of Belfast, one of the largest linen manufacturing concerns in Ireland and the annual meeting will be held early in December. During the past three months 72 new names were added to the list of members in the Millwork Cost Bureau, Chicago, making a total membership of 592 firms. The heaviest increase occurred in the West, there being 45 new members there of which 8 are in Brit- ‘ish ,Columbia. An active campaign for membership is being con- ducted at the present time. There are 24 members of the Millwork Cost Bureau residing in Canada, Saskatchewan having 3, Quebec 2, Ontario 8, Manitoba 2, British Columbia 8 and Alberta 1. -A recent despatch from Quebec says that the demand for in- creased wages made by lumberjacks and bushmen which in some cases is excessive, may bring about a curtailment in operations in both the lumber and pulpwood camps. The large interests see no justification for the greatly increased wages. They claim that con- ditions compared to last year do not warrant such radical advances. It is pointed out by the lumber people that they are providing their men with lodging and board and that the wages paid are practically clear of all other expenses. Hon. Dr. Sutherland, Minister of Public Works for British Columbia, recently announced that the damage done to public high- ways by the trucks of logging companies must be paid for by the companies themselves. This statement was made in connection with the announcement of the new regulations governing traffic of British Columbia roads. These require that logging companies using heavy trucks on the highways will have to advance bonds to the Government and from this money repairs to the road will be financed. The regulations apply to trucks over four tons in weight. A deputation of lumbermen recently gave evidence before the Pulpwood Commission in Ottawa. Representative lumbermen were present from Arnprior, Braeside, Pembroke and other points in the Ottawa Valley. The deputation was headed by Dan McLachlin, of Arnprior, former president of the Canadian Lumbermen’s Associa- tion. Mr. McLachlin told the Commission there was no such a thing as insurance of standing timber. The chief menace to forests, he added, was the destruction of young growth by fire. The only way of remedying the situation, he added, was through personal education and the imposition of heavy penalties for setting fires. The purchase of the Skillings, Whitney and Barnes Company lumber yard property by A. H. Coplan, president of the Hull Steel Foundries, Ltd., of Hull, Que., for use in manufacturing steel grates, fire boxes and other parts for locomotives, was announced recently * at Ogdensburg, N. Y. The price was between $15,000 and $20,000. The property purchased consists of 48 acres, all buildings and rail- way sidings, and a number of residences, together with 1,200 feet of dockage, and extends 800 feet back from the river. The new industry promises to develop into one of the largest in that section, employing several hundred men. Mr. Coplan will organize an American company to carry on the American business. Word received from Harcourt, Kent County, N. B., says that local lumbermen have taken crews to the camps and have all began their winter’s work. Robert Shirley is taking out a large cut for Fraser’s Limited on their lot on the Salmon River. James Fahey is Operating in the vicinity of Canaan. McCleary Bros. are cutting for Sayre & Holly, of Chipman, on the Salmon River. Andrew Robinson and John Brown have taken their crews to the northern part of the province where they have engaged to yard a large num- ber of logs. B. F. Keswick is continuing operations at Lower Main River where he has been sawing for two years. Wages are aver- aging considerably higher than for two years past. Angus Graham, a graduate of Oxford University, employed by Price Bros. in Rimouski; A. B. Yberg, Polytechnic School, of Zurich, Switzerland, chief forestry engineer of the Riordon Cor- poration, Limited, stationed at St. Jovite; G. H. Edgecombe, Tor- onto, University graduate, of the St. Maurice Paper Co., and W. C. Hugson, Toronto University graduate, Ottawa, were admitted late- ly as members of the Association of Forestry Engineers of the pro- vince of Quebec. All privileges, exclusive to the forestry engineers, were extended to the four new members on a decision arrived at by a special committee of examiners of the Association, comprising Messrs. Gustave Piche, Avila Bedard, O. Lussier, George Maheux, S. L. Carteret and Henri Roy. The corporation was organized in 1921 and this in the first instance that its membership is extended to outside graduates after special examination. Forestry engineers who wish to exercise their profession in Quebec, must in future be admitted to the corporation, which has been extended a special charter to that effect. There are now nearly one hundred qualified forestry engineers on duty in the province of Quebec. SORA yt ais.” ab 16 s > - ory . =~ CANADA LUMBERMAN 71 The C.

Notwithstanding the advantage Apes by ee 4 Three new dams will be built shortly in the province of Quebec improvements, the flat suspended arch still retained some if the plans of certain companies materialize and the permission of the Provincial Government can be secured. The construction of one of the dams will necessitate the erection of a large hydro-electric plant in the town of Chicoutimi and will contribute greatly to the development of that region. Price Bros. ‘Co. now have the plans for the largest of the dams under consideration and it is expected that the work will go forward shortly. It is also understood that the new hydro-electric plant will be started as soon as work on the new dam is finished. A second dam will be constructed on the Asksetisk or Asberish River by W. W. Thomas, proprietor of the seigniory of Lake Temis- couata. With the construction of the dam on the Asksetisk River the cantons of Raudot and Hocquart, in Temiscouata County, will be inundated. The third dam will be constructed on the head waters of Lakes Thomas and St. Vincent in order that the Donnacona Paper Co may continue its lumbering operations. Double Suspension Arches for Boiler Furnaces Until a few years ago an arch was considered merely the roof of a furnace and the highest development in arch construction was the single suspended arch. This type of construction had two advantages _ over the sprung arch, viz: It presented a flat surface over the fuel bed assuring a more even burning out of the fuel due to the uniform eat reflection; and made repairing a more simple process, conse- ae YS weaknesses of the sprung arch. ; The Liptak Double Suspension Arch, as manufactured by the Liptak Fire Brick Arch Company, 20th and Prairie Ave., Chicago, Ill., is a distinct improvement in furnace arch construction and em- bodies all the advantages of other types of arches together with sev- eral added features, making for lower cost of upkeep and better fur- nace construction. A refractory arch of some type 1s required in most boiler furnaces to assist in the ignition and combustion of the fuel as it is fed into the furnace. : The Liptak Double Suspension Arch is really two arches in one —a main arch exposed to the fire and a reserve arch above, trom which this main arch is suspended. This makes it possible to burn ~ out practically all of the main arch before it is necessary to make repairs and still leaves the reserve arch intact as a protection to the iron work.

Reid, Sussex, N. B., dealer in lumber and building mater- x ials, is now known as H. H. Reid, Limited. The Fall Brook Mining & Developing Company, Limited, — Woodstock, N. B., was recently organized to conduct development projects and to manufacture and deal in forest products. ;. Alex. Rhind, manager of the Simpson Planing Mill, Toronto, was recently re-elected secretary of Ward 8, Ratepayers’ Associa- — tion, which position he has filled acceptably for several years. Guy H. Long, of the Long Lumber Co., Hamilton, Ont., who — has been a member of the Fox Lake Hunt Club at Ravensworth, Ont., oe returning home recently after a most enjoyable outing in the bush. W. C. Laidlaw, of Toronto, and Chester H. Belton, of Sarnia, 9a who were members of a large hunting party at Portage Lake, Onto have returned home.They had a splendid holiday in the bush and. got their complement of deer. > C. R. Burgess, of Robert Bury & Co. and W. C. Gardiner, of the - Satin Finish Hardwood Flooring, Limited, Toronto, have returned — from a successful deer-hunting expedition in the Haliburton district. They secured their full quota of deer. An addition to the men who will work in the lumber camps of Ontario and Quebec was made recently when 300 Russian woods- men_arrived from overseas. They have already accepted eSPione ment with various firms in the two provinces. John J. Walsh, for many years foreman at Reid’s Peas yard, Toronto, died recently at his home 188 Logan Ave., Toronto. He — was in his 63rd year and had lived all his life in Toronto, being born at the corner of Dundas (then Beech St.) and Sumach Sts. The Ontario Paper Co., of Thorold, Ont., who have already a large area of limits in the vicinity of the Manicouagan River in the province of Quebec, will likely be one of the bidders for the leas- ing of 2,500-square miles of timber limits located on that stream. The sudden death occurred at Donald, Ont., lately of Ephraim John Edwards, storekeeper for the Standard Chemical Company. The deceased, who has been a resident of Donald for seven years, was a former resident of Deseronto, and is survived by his wife, three daughters and one son. Workmen cutting timber on the farm of J. B. Fredo ae -Car-\%) rollton, Ohio, found 22 $2.50 gold pieces imbedded in a large oak tree. A hole had been bored in the tree, the gold coins deposited and a plug used to cover the hole. The bark of the tree had grown on over the plug obliterating its scar. A sawmill at Prince Rupert, B. C., with large timber tracts nearby, held by the Prince Rupert Holding Co., Limited, are re- ported to have been sold to a group of California and Iowa capital- ists for approximately $500,000. The purchasers, it is believed, in- tend to develop a pulp and paper industry. The sawmill has a cut Lumbering activity and camp developments on a big scale in the almost virgin forest areas along the Robertson River are in prospect as a result of the decision of the MacDonald and Murphy interests which have been operating several big camps farther north on Vancouver Island, to operate in this heavily wooded Robertson River area tributary to the south shores of Cowichan Lake. Work on the new pulp plant of the Great Lakes Paper Co. at the western limits of Fort William has passed the preliminary stage and good progress is now being made on the foundation. John F. — King, resident engineer of the company, has established an office in the vicinity of what will be one of the main buildings of the plant. It is hoped that construction work can be carried on all winter. It is reported that a contract has been let for the cutting of the heavy timber that will be required for mill construction at the Crown Reserve Mine, and marks the first’ step towards milling at this rapidly developing gold property at Larder Lake, Ont. As it is planned to erect a mill of at least five hundred tons daily capacity a large amount of timber will be required. This will be secured in the neighborhood of the mine. Two additional small timber limits have been disposed of by the Ontario Government. The larger one is in the township of Rennie, comprising 36 square miles, which is principally a tie-cutting pro- position, cutting rights for which have been disposed of to Austin a & Nicholson of Ceenlcat, The tie Bae is 11% cents eac The i . ae see ee - 9 Se ee Te eS RE Ok ae ne _ before January 1. - months ahead, and owners are not willing to put on extra shifts. It is understood that brokers handling Scandinavian lumber are try- _ ing to land this business, quoting delivery prices $2 to $3 per thous- _and below curre other .berth is in Shedden township, and the purchaser is Graham & Wilkinson, Spanish Station. A. P. Costigane, secretary and engineer of the Ontario Pulp & Paper Makers’ Safety Association recently spent a few days at the mills at Sault Ste. Marie, Espanola and Sturgeon Falls. He reports that the officers of the Spanish River plants are taking a deeper concern in safety work and the employees are being educated and organized along the line of safeguarding life and limb in their daily duties. Every effort is being made to reduce the accident hazard to the minimum. George Carruthers, of Toronto, vice-president of the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association, is an ardent conservationist and strongly favors reforestation in order to ensure the perpetuity of the timber resources of Ontario. Recently he paid a visit to Simcoe County which is the pioneer county in reforestation work. With an ultimate aim of planting 100 acres in trees annually, 600,000 year- ling seedlings are now being transferred from tree nurseries, while 30 acres of the Simcoe county area are being planted in three-year- old seedlings. Alex. Smith, of Chicago, has been elected president of the Abitibi Power & Paper Co., Iroquois Falls, Ont., to succeed the late Frank H. Anson. This action was taken at a meeting of the directors held recently in Montreal. W. A. Black, vice-president of the Ogilvie Flour Mills Co., Limited, was elected vice-president of the Abitibi Co., of which he had been a director; E. L. Pease, vice- president of the Royal Bank of Canada, was elected a director, and L. R. Wilson, formerly secretary of the company, was appointed general-manager. The Backus-Brooks Co., expect to have their first paper mach- ine in their newsprint plant at Kenora before the end of the present year. The groundwood pulp mill is turning out 80 tons a day which is sufficient for the 100 tons of newsprint that will be forthcoming from the new machine which was built by the Dominion Engineer- ing Works, Montreal. After the newsprint mill is in operation it is the intention of the organization to construct a sulphite pulp plant. _The company will add 100-ton units to their newsprint mill until it has a capacity of 500 tons or more daily. H. W.. George, C. F. Schmidt, J. E. Littleton, of the R. Laid- law Lumber Co., Toronto, J. A. Fraser, manager of the Pine Lake Lumber Co., Pickerel, Ont.; J. A. Carter, accountant, and Harry Grier, mill foreman, of Pickerel, who were hunting on the Wolfe River, which is a branch of the Pickerel, had a most enjoyable out- ing. They killed their full quota of deer, which were reported plentiful, and also a number of partridge although the latter were rather scarce in that section. Mr. George succeeded in killing a big black bear. The returns at the Crown timber office, New Westminster, B. C., for the month of October were practically double those of the corresponding month a year ago, according to Crown timber agent, Ed. Walmsley. During October 1923 the returns totalled $40,614, while for the same month last year the amount was $21,793. For the first seven months of the year there was a considerable excess in the amount collected over the corresponding period in 1922, a gain of over $70,000. The amount collected comprises the royalty on timber cut on Dominion lands which amounts to approximately 87,000,000 feet, so far this year as compared with 66,000,000 feet for the same length of time in 1922. Practically all the timber was cut within 80 miles of New Westminster. The Ottawa River Power Co., which will carry out a big devel- opment at Bryson, Que., will be a subsidiary of the Ottawa and Hull Power Co., Limited. The board of directors includes J. B. Fraser, Ottawa; A. J. Nesbitt, Montreal; Hon. George Bryson, Fort Coulonge; Rt. Hon. Sir Robert Borden; E. R. Bremner, of W. C. Edwards & Co., Ottawa; D. McLachlin, Arnprior; P. A. Thomson, Montreal; W. H. Dwyer, of W. H. Dwyer & Co., Ottawa; J. B. Woodyatt, vice-president, Southern Canada Power Co., Montreal. The engineers’ plans call for the development of the water power at Bryson under a 61l-foot head and the ultimate capacity of the plant will be from 60,000 to 75,000 horsepower. Exporters of lumber from British Columbia report increasing demands for Japanese squares as well as for shingles and other building material. Large bookings are reported of Atlantic busi- ness in dimensions and specified materials from Puget Sound mills. “The shippers of Vancouver state they could place 10,000,000 to 15,000,000 feet of Japanese squares if mills could guarantee delivery The mills, however, are booked for two or three nt quotations on Douglas fir. - ~ CANADA LUMBERMAN 15 We Specialize in Milling in Transit Our mill is situated on the G.

D. Hale / Forest Products Laboratories of Canada, Montreal ‘In “The Effect of Growth Rate on the Strength of Softwoods” published in the “Canada Lumberman,” January 15 issue, the strength of softwoods in relation to growth rate was discussed. The general conclusion was reached that, where maximum strength is required, timber of moderate growth rate is usually to be preferred to material of very fast or very slow growth. The hardwoods present a slightly different aspect. They differ considerably from the softwoods in structure and difference in their rate of growth do not influence their mechanical properties in the same way that similar variations affect those of the softwoods. Trees, which have broad leaves, are usually known as “hardwoods” are thus distinguished from the coniferous, needle-leaved trees or “softwoods.” Though some hardwoods are softer than certain of the conifers, our very hardest woods are included in the broad-leaved group so that the description name is appropriate. ‘The wood of hardwood trees is more complex in structure than softwood and is somewhat*more diffh- cult to season. The constant difference between the two classes of lumber lies in the structure of the wood—a variation which explains the differences in physical and mechanical properties of these natural groups. Wood Composed of Tube-Like Fibres Wood, like the bodies of all plants or animals, is composed of various kinds of cells. Wood cells are commonly called fibres and Strength of Wood In relation to rate of growth 4 8 12 Jun, AONE 240) 28e. [38 “3 — Annual rings per inch —— have the appearance of tiny tubes with closed ends which are more _ or less pointed. Packed closely together with their long axes more r less parallel, these fibres constitute wood and by the sum of their properties, determine the characteristics of each kind of wood. _ Softwood “fibres” are practically all alike in their more general Ooo CI at RNIN See Rea ag Se ny Ora AS (ka ay ees ? rs Pe Vn pare eee es Se Be features. The length of softwood fibres varies roughly from a twenty- in a piece of some length. If in no other way hardwood could be distinguished from _ soft- by their continuous end-to-end arrangement, like lengths of miniature vessels are often very short—usually shorter than wood fibres—but fifth to a third of an inch and the diameter may be one fiftieth to one hundred and fiftieth of the fibre length. Hardwoods, however, have a greater variety of cells. In general, hardwood fibres are shorter than softwood fibres and probably are never much over a tenth of an inch in length. In addition to the true fibres, of which the bulk of the wood is composed, there are in hardwoods certain tubes, of rela- tively large diameter, called vessels. Their function is to conduct . Figure 1 Oak x 19 Birch x 19 Transverse view from end of boards showing birch with diffuse arrangement of pores and oak with ring porous arrangement A.R.: Annual Ring S: Summerwood Spr: Springwood water from the soil through the wood of the tree to the leaves. These pipe, they form long channels in the wood so that it is possible, in certain woods, to blow through dry sticks several feet long. In straight grained red oak it is even possible to see through the vessels wood by the presence of the vessels. Packed closely together, or scattered among the true fibres and parallel to them, vessels appear in ~ cross-sections of the log as tiny round holes which are. often easily visible to the naked eye, (See Fig. 1). On account of the appearance of vessels in section they are often called pores. New Wood Layers Added Annually Outside Previously Formed Wood If wood cells were all of uniform dimension, wood-structure would appear homogeneous and the different annual layers would not be distinguishable from each other, The seasonal changes in north- ern latitudes, however, exert a marked effect upon cell growth, an Mtn. ges Sy 2 an Paste we ob. de ~~, peer way > Feeds! dines: ~ ~~ hy Se | pe Rida DS batons 43 CANADA LUMBERMAN size of those wood cells which latter part of the growing season. ch add a new wood layer yearly wood in transverse sections of the consentric rings. Each ring, representing as it does the amount of wood added in one year, is called an annual ring. ! li Vanadian timber trees whl display the trunk aS a series OF In the spring growth is fast and the cells formed at that time are frequently of large diameter. Those formed later in the season the summer) however, are of smaller diameter and have thicker walls. The wood formed in summer, being composed of cells with comparatively small cavities, is denser and harder than the wood formed at the beginning of the growth period. As during the winter the tree is dormant and no additional growth takes place the successive annual layers are usually differentiated by the contrast in texture and color between the hard summerwood of a previous ring and the contiguous softer springwood of the subsequent year’s growth. : : | (during Hardwoods Divided Naturally into Two Classes by Pore Arrangement 3 There are two main classes of hardwoods which are characterized : the arrangement of the vessels or pores. Transverse sections of Figure 3 Ash—Transverse Sections x 15 Ring porous wood of three different rates of growth. A—With wide ring is from wood weaker than sample represented by B. C—With narrow rings and large pore content is weakest. one class show the pores nearly uniform in size throughout the annual ring. This condition is typified in the photograph of birch cut transversely, shown in Figure 1A. ‘This illustration, showing the and view of the polished surface of a portion af a birch log (magnified 19 diameters) shows the distribution of pores known as diffuse arrangement. Figure 1B shows another arrangement of the pores (in oak) the large ones being confined to the early spring wood. Asa row of large pores in the springtime wood makes a con- tinuous ring of these “water tubes,” woods with this arrangement of vessels are called ring-porous woods and are readily distinguishable by the large pores which are visible to the naked eye on surfaces cut at right angles across the grain. Ring-porous woods include some of the strongest North Ameri- can hardwoods such as hickory, locust, oak, elm, and ash, while dif- fuse-porous woods, which form the greater part of the North Ameri- can hardwood lumber cut, include basswood, beech, (birch, gum, maple, poplar and many others. With the exception of oak most of the valuable furniture woods are in the diffuse-porous group. Thickness of Annual Layer Affects Density of Wood In constructional operations and in much ordinary woodwork strong material is essential. The strength of wood is known to be approximately proportional to its weight when dry, Determination of weight is usually not feasible under practical conditions. | If, how- ever, the width of the annual rings could be used as an indication of the strength the selection of suitable timber would be simplified as the’ u iS fo) oS Strength of Wood 1 in relation to rate of growth: Maximum Crushing Strength in pounds per square inch 1600 4 % 0 efes Sl; a One reas 8 i216 > 20-24 28! 82 96: ) 4onueaaeeenre ; Rings per ich —— Ry 4 BINS A PeimeD ne number of rings on the end of a board. There are few indeed to whom the appearance of the concentric wood rings is not familiar. Fig 2 is a curve showing the relation between the width of the annual rings and the compressive strength of two ring-porous woods. The tests of which the results are embodied in these curves were made on green wood by the Division of Timber Tests of the Forest Products Laboratories of Canada, Montreal. The curves for the wood here represented may be accepted as typifying generally the effect of rate of growth on the strength of all ordinary ring- porous woods. Wood of very fast or very slow growth is weaker than that of intermediate growth. Reference to Fgure 3 explains why this is so.

The sections were cut ~ from wood showing widely different rates of growth and are magni- fied 15 diameters.

CANADA LUMBEFPRMAN 49 Christmas Eve at Camp Four A Yuletide Story Redolent of the Spirit of the Bunk House in the Canadian Bush at the Glad Festive Season BXGLESH Jack was not long over. He had been deposited by the economico-social ebb and flow at Mackie’s number four camp on the upper waters of the Nashwaak. He didn’t belong. ‘There was no doubt what- ever about that. The lumber jacks with whom he came in, all agreed to the proposi- tion. Foreman McPherson asserted it pror fanely. English Jack had come into camp sans “turkey” or blankets and wearing spats. ‘hat, in itself, was enough. He had hired in the city as an expert axeman, and had been sent up to number four with a half dozen other recruits. Foreman McPherson greeted the new- comer with exclamations that might have - been pious—but were not; including in his remarks certain references to employment agencies that are, perhaps better imagined than revealed. “A joke is a joke,” he saitl. English Jack possessed the national will- ingness to tackle anything, in due degree. He had always managed to “muddle through;” and certainly felt tnat this rough work of the woods was not beyond his self- admitted powers. To take an axe and knock Nothing to it. So when McPherson, to test his pro- claimed ability with the tools of the woods- man, handed him a double-bitted axe and requested that he remove a leading spruce that overhung the tote road just a few yards from camp, English Jack gracefully accepted the challenge and moved towards the scene of action w.th, at least, outward equanimity. He had never seen a double-bitter before. As fortune favors the brave, he did not inflict any mortal wounds on his personal lower limbs with his first wild swings; his going into action was unobserved as Mc- Pherson, to give him a fair show, had or- dered the grinning lumber jacks to the bunk- house and withdrawn himself to the sacred precincts of the office, being mindful of the demoralizing effects of critical observation. The blows of English Jack’s axe as he attacked his first arboreal victim, did not ring through the air in approved style, be- ing mostly glancing, but his earnest grunts needed no amplifier as he went at his task with an expenditure of energy that was, per- haps, five per cent. efficient. Ten minutes flitted by while expectancy, standing on tip-toe, suffered muscular cramp _ before McPherson strode forth to inspect. He approached the perspiring axeman, amazed to find that the pearl-colored spats showed no stain of blood,—silent because his mouth was wide open in astonishment at Had the operator not been present, he would have sworn that a beaver had come to take this tree away for his own purposes; for Eng- lish Jack’s axe had gnawed a shallow, rag- ged, scar completely around it. However, the frosty air was rapidly cool- ing the inner side of the “quid” tucked away - Ls By Charles J. Brooks in his left cheek, and the sensation brought him back from the unreality in which he had been wandering, to the present and actual. “Say, he gasped, still struggling for self-possession, “How’s she goin’ t’ fall?” Mildly English Jack paused, drawing deep breaths as he rested on his axe, and turned an enquiring eye upon the foreman. “Not being a bloody prophet, I really can’t say,’ was his answer. All of which explains why English was duly elected as flunkey at number four camp, on the day before Xmas. When we remember the high authority behind the statement that the human heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked, we should not be surprised that cer- tain man-made “Thou shalt nots” are hon- ored more in the breach than in the obser- vance. The foot of the law had been set upon the national container of alcoholic bev- “Do yore talkin’ in th’ bunk’us,” he ordered, “yuh come in here t’ eat—not talk.” erages, but it seemed that there were see- pages at the toe and heel and along the sole, which had been collected and artfully con- veyed to camp four, that the holiday might not pass without lubrication. Foreman McPherson was not ignorant of the situation. It was his business to get out logs. for the company and he knew that, if the “liquid damnation” were confiscated, there would be a general exodus to the city over a hundred miles away, and two or three weeks in which the camp would have to work short-handed before he could get a full crew together again. So a five gallon can, presumably containing “coal-oil,” “had. dis- appeared from the last load of supplies with'- out comment; and an unusually large con- signment of prunes and raisins on the cook’s requisition were admitted under his official O. K. Things at camp four were “all set for a blow out.” English Jack, his spats reverently laid aside, decorated with a gunny-sack apron, was scrubbing the floor of the cook-house when the crew came straggling into camp from their work in the “brush.” “Git a move on, you,” ordered the cook, “supper’ll be ready in half an hour, an’ them lumber jacks don’t want t’ be kept from their grub by no green flunkies.” The cook’s constitutional pessimism was made manifest in his drooping mustache. English Jack said nothing, but dug a splinter from beneath a finger-nail and went on with his job. The adaption of organism — to environment was proceeding but not with- out pain. “Them hellions has got likker,’ went on the cook morosely as he dumped an im- mense pile of “french fries” into their bath of hot lard; “best keep away from th’ bunk’us t’night, English, ‘less yuh wants a maulin’. Bad actors, some o’ them fellers, ‘specially that Frenchman they calls Joe Gal- lant; allus picks on a new flunkey—he does.” “Al-o-w,” drawled English. “Yah, ’a-o-w’” mimicked the “chases new flunkies outa camp regular, does Joe.

Yuh’d best stay in here with me}; yuh can sneak out an’ git yore blankets while th’ men’s eatin’.” “Avo-w,” said English Jack. Meanwhile, in the bunk-house, men washed up for supper, English Jack’s advent contended with candiestine supplies of an illegal liquid for the most prominent part in conversation. “Jest like a blank, blank beaver—yuh can see it t’morra,” said Angus McLeod to — made him — his partner of the cross-cut, flunkey, McPherson did ‘ “An’ ’me Lud’ comes inta camp wearin’ — 9 spats,’ interjected one of the new arrivals. “T’ell yuh say,” came an_ incredulous chorus from a dozen quarters. “Yah,” went on the informant, proud to hold the centre of the stage for his brief moment, “he figgers he can do any rough work—dontcher know—that any ordinary laborer can handle; claimed t’ be an all around bushman till th’ foreman showed him up.” Joe Gallant rubbed reflectively behind his ears with a very ragged towel. “Wear de spat, eh?” he sneered, “I'll tak he apart an’ see wat mak her go after sup- per; meantime, wat "bout de leetle drink "fore we eat?” “That’s the stuff, Frenchie, hollered Angus McLeod, “who’s got the can?” “She’s under ma bunk,” replied Joe, “no fear anyone touch him dere;” and he threw out his big chest’ to impress all and sundry that, by virtue of strength, he was cock of the walk. “You crawl under an’ git him,” he or- — S dered one of the new arrivals, who implicit- ly obeyed. “Strangers in de camp tak de first drink,” directed Joe when the five gallons of whis- key had been produced and opened.

So the dipper went its rounds with much smacking of lips and profane appreciation, just completing its course as English Jack, directed by the cook, belted the steel tri- in fer ANG NG NEGA NG NG NENG NUNN NG NNO NE NG NNN NN NENG NN NNN NN NNN NNN ————— angle hanging outside the cook-house, with an iron belt as the signal for “come and get a. In the cook-house English Jack officiated as head-waiter in the absence of the other flunkey, who had gone out for Xmas and whose return was problematical. At this work he got along nicely for this was no short-order restuarant. Heaping plates of the various eatables were piled on the long tables before the crew was admitted, and his duty was simply to keep these replenished which, in itself, was a fair sized job; for the quantity of grub that fifty earnest lumber- jacks, who have ,just partaken of an appetizer, can consume in ten or fifteen minutes, is by no means. small. During the meal English Jack was, as it were, the cynosure of all eyes ‘but he seemed to be blissfully unconscious of the apprais- ing stares of the diners. Even stage whisp- _ ers of “More beans, me Lud;” “Will yore highness kindly renew the punk’ 2” “May we have more pie, your spatship?’—were unable to penetrate the hard shell of his re- serve, as, fitted out with an old apron of the cook’s, he strode manfully about the room ministering to his would-be tormentors. great pioneer vocation. CANADA LUMBERMAN Of course, nothing was scheduled to hap- pen at supper-time. One of the new arrivals found himself quickly and sternly brought to book when he ventured a remark that could be heard all over the room; for the cook who was standing, glowering, at the kitchen door, bawled him out on the spot. “Do yore talkin’ in th’ bunk’us,” he or- dered, “yuh come in here t’ eat—not talk.” This, having the sanction of custom and being backed by the authority of the fore- man in person, the culprit immediately felt himself to be the object of anadverse pub- lic opinion and, choking on a breadcrumb, withdrew from the cook-house in a state of confusion; while, apart from the active rat- tle of table-ware, the meal was concluded in silence. In the bunk- house, under the soft glow cast by the oil lamps, the men sat on the deacon-seat or reclined in their bunks smok- ing and talking intermittently of work and grub, drink and play. Back in one corner of the long room lined on either side with double-decker bunks, a small crowd were dis- cussing with French Joe Gallant the pro- spective torment of the new flunkey. At the table in the centre, just back of the big wood stove, Angus McLeod and his The “Canada Lumberman” at this Yuletide period extends to all its readers heartiest greetings and sincerest wishes for a happy holiday season.

Angus flared up immediately. “Wotinell yuh mean t’ ’nsinuate—I’m cheatin’? he roared belligerently as they both made a dive for the cards. But a probable fistic encounter was swept aside by a greater and more overpowering interest; for at the moment when hostilities were about to commence, French Joe stood up grasping the bigibellied can affection- ately and opined that it was time for “every- body she’s now have leetle drink,” and the tin dipper was started on its rounds amid universal approval. “Hey, Joe,” shouted Spike Taylor, ‘ drinkin’ outa yore turn.” Os opt ups” returned Joe poomotse I be bartender an’ I drink when I like, me which was all of that.

Joe was helping himself to a concluding drink when the door opened and English Jack strode into the bunk-house, carrying his spats in his hand. There was complete silence.on the instant. Pipes paused half- way to mouths and lighted matches, forgot- ten, burned down to sear hardened fingers. — French Joe, standing by the table on ~ which the can of refreshments was seated, slowly lowered the dipper which he had just — raised to his lips. “By gar,” he chuckled, “here’s ‘Eenglesh — ’ wit de spat come t’ de party—Here, have | leetle drink, Eenglesh,” he stretched out the dipper to the full extent of his thick- muscled arm, and his tone was an insult. The attitude of the flunky to his superior — in strength or authority is usually suppliant, and the men silently awaiting the expected © amusement, heard the answer to French Joe’s combined invitation and threat with a sneer of contempt. “A-o-w, y-a-a-s, I’ll take it,” he did. The snicker that went around the room was quickly lost in a gasp of astonishment; he said—and — : ork, ees See SEO ee ee ee jeviecsacseeensiictd ee Py SE Oe oe for, instead of drinking, English Jack with perfect calmness, threw the contents of the dipper fairly into French Joe’s face, laid the dipper on the table and went unconcern- edly over to deposit his spats on the bunk that had been assigned to him, “Didya see that?” gasped Spike Taylor, admiringly, nudging Angus McLeod in the ribs with his elbow.

Every preparation is being made for the important international gathering and already matters pertaining to it are well under way. It is confidently expected that the forthcoming assembly will be the best and biggest ever held in the history of the association and, from the standpoints of business, fellowship and pleasure will strike a new high-water mark. Many interesting topics will come up for discussion, and divers matters relating to the development and trend of the industry during 1924 will be considered. Ganson Depew, president of the Buffalo Lumber Exchange, whose offices are at 794 Ellicott Square, states that the members expect to do everything possible to make the convention of the ‘Cana- dian Association thoroughly enjoyable. Harry L. Abbott, of the Atlantic Lumber Co., has been appointed chairman of the Entertainment Committee, while the Finance and other committees are already at work. On the first day of the convention, Wednesday, January 30th, the Buffalo Lumber Exchange, together with the Tonawanda Ex- Ganson Depew President of Bufflalo Lbr. Exchange - change, expect to give the ladies a luncheon at the Hotel Statler, followed iby an automobile drive throughout the city. In the evening the Buffalo lumbermen will entertain the delegates and their wives to a theatre party which will be followed by a supper-dance at the Hotel Statler. On the afternoon of Thursday January 3lst Mrs. McLean, wife of Hugh McLean, Buffalo, who is a brother of Angus McLean, of Bathurst, N. B., president of the Canadian Lumbermen’s Associa- tion) will give a tea to the ladies. The annual banquet of the C. L. A. will ibe held on the evening of January 31st at which there will be leading speakers, one from the United States and the other from Canada. M. E. Preisch of New York, formerly of North Tonawanda, N. Y., was the gentleman who extended the invitation to the Canadian delegates assembled in Montreal last winter, to foregather in Buffalo In a letter to the “Canada Lumberman” he says,—“I am bs sure that the annual meeting of the Canadian Lumbermen’s Associa- tion will be a big success and that all the Canadians will like Buffalo er) convention city. We are looking forward to meeting all the _lumbermen with Biessreiest anticipation, * change, also extends greetings to the Canadian delegates and adds,— “The Buffalo and Tonawanda lumberman are looking to this conven- tion with a great deal of delight.” R, L. Collison, convention manager of the Hotel Statler, says that definite arrangements for the entertainment and other affairs in connection with the convention of the Canadian Lumbermen’s Asso- ciation, are being effected. Much more might be stated regarding the features, both busi- ness and social, at the forthcoming convention on January 30th and 31st. It is satisfactory to know that ev erything is progressing ad- mirably. As indicative of what is being done, the Buffalo corcesponiiane of the “Canada Lumberman” writes :— The'members of the Buffalo Lumber Exchange are making pre- liminary arrangements for the entertainment of the Canadian Lum- bermen’s Association, which will hold its annual convention at the Hotel Statler on January 30th and 3lst. The programme of enter- tainment is not yet ready for announcement, but it will include a number of special features, of which it is Danse that a theatre party will be one. It is expected that about 500 people will attend the convention, including the Canadian lumbermen and their ladies, as well as repre- sentatives of the industry in Buffalo and the Tonawandas. This will be the largest lumber convention to be held here in a long time. On account of its international character and the importance of the sup- jects to be discussed, more than usual interest attaches to the meet- ing. ‘The lumbermen of the Niagara Frontier are large buyers and sellers of ‘Canadian lumber of various kinds, and some are owners of timiber lands across the border. During the past few days the lumber exchange announced the membership of two committees to look after details in connection with the convention. ‘These are on entertainment and finance, as follows :— Entertainment :—Harry L. Abbott, chairman, William P. Betts, George A. Mitchell, Elmer J. Sturm, Orson E. Yeager, Fred M. Sul- livan, James P. Wall, Charles N. Perrin and Harry A. Plumley. Finance :—Hugh McLean, chairman; C. Walter Betts, Clark W. Hurd, Gabriel Elias, Maurice M. Wall, Millard S. Burns, Harold Hauenstein, Frank T. Sullivan, Horace F. Taylor, John McLeod, Le ~ Grande S. DeGraff, North Tonawanda. The convention will be the first large annual convention of lum- bermen to be held at the Hotel Statler, which was completed several months ago. The Chamber of Commerce and the Buffalo Lumber Exchange are both energetic organizations which realize the value of conventions to a city, and it is expected that many other large lum- ber organizations will in future decide to come to Buffalo and the Hotel Statler for their annual gatherings. Heavy Lumber Cut on the Miramichi All the sawmills on the Miramichi closed down some little time — , Llinsge This mill was the first to start in the ago, the last one to cease operations being that of O’Brien’s ited, at South Nelson, N. B. spring, beginning operations on March 22nd. The plant ran con- tinously for eight months which Constitutes something of a record. During the winter O’Brien’s, Limited, will operate their planing mill using some of their summer cut as well as the cut of other mills on the river. Fraser, Limited, are cutting laths at their mill at Chatham Head as well as overating their planing mill and will continue operations throughout the winter. Geo. Burchill & Son will operate their planing mill at Nelson, duving the winter months, as well as their sash and door factory. W.S. Anderson & Co., in addition to their sash and door fae- tory in Newcastle, will also cut laths during the coming winter, and Y. B. Creaghan is making arrangements to saw laths at his Millerton mill. . * pd - = - i Le | ee — oe © * oo & eK, 52 ; CANADA LUMBERMAN Trees—All Good Citene Love Them By Zane Grey 4 An English philosopher said that one of the most tragic spectacles of the historic present was the blind and indifferent rush of Americans toward ruin. Money, luxury, excitement, speed—these it would seem are ‘the goals worshipped by the majority of the people of our great free wonderful country which has been caught in the maw of materialism. One of the melancholy things to contemplate is the ruin of our forests. The tabernacles of the stately trees! All true citi- zens love trees. How could they help it? The woods is an inheritance. But they do not think. Most of the people flock to the cities. And meanwhile the havoc is wrought on all sides. That lumber is a necessity no sensible person can dispute. But that forests should be destroyed by commercialism is a vastly different matter. The sentiment of dreamers, artists, lovers of nature can be left out of the reckoning. These are the first to see the hand-writing on the wall, but their personal grievance and sorrow need not be considered. The terrible fact is that the life and soul of the nation are in peril. Can any nation progress without beauty, religion, wisdom? These are as essential to greatness as bread. Trees are as important as wheat fields. It would be better that we return to mud huts like the troglodyte than lose our souls. All of life cannot be measured in dollars. Surely it can be proved that Christ loved the earth, the waters and the living inhabitants thereof. Abraham watched the bai stars that shone on the lonely Arabian desert. Shakespeare saw beauty as well as character. Tennyson’s poetry is flooded with the light, the dream, the glory of nature. Tagor perfected his wonderful philosophy in the forests of India. As a boy and as a man Abraham Lincoln found something in the solitude of the woods—under the maples, hickory, sycamores, elms, chestnuts. If the government have any honest, wise, statesmen, if the people have any desire to preserve for the children something of what is left of our forests, they will compel the destroyers to leave one tree standing, and plant another for every one they destroy. The trees, then, of our native land have a profound significance and importance. Every boy and girl ought to know that, even if all cannot play and study under the rustling leaves. 5 What Forests Really Mean in Daily Life A leading contractor, speaking the other day, pointed out that the cost of almost every article in daily use was affected by the prices of lumber or pulpwood.~- He stated that it was no use to expect houses to be built at less cost than they are at the present time. On the contrary, the tendency was toward increased prices and a variety of reasons contributed to this. Fire, budworm, storms and other causes are constantly decreasing the available forest assets. Present lumber prices would hold during the next few months but as it was costing $5 to $6 more per M to get out the timber and convert into the finished product, this cost would be passed on to the consumer. The speaker went on to say that Canada’s forest resources were vanishing rapidly, the situation was becoming critical and the con- sumption enormous. The following figures, he declared, would prove of much interest :— The figures are: Causes of annual consumption Feet board measure. DPuniber cut in. Canada-annually .. eens: 4,000,000,0090 Pulpwood cut in Canada annually ........ 2,000,000,000 ‘umber cut for tuel” annually 24. 3k 4 000,000,000 euineles, ties; poles, etc. Keadacl see 1,000,000,000 Hice destruction annually 03) 4.0.2 we eee 8,000,000,009 Destruction by budworm and other pests an- MLN 0.

In British Col- umbia, it is estimated that the fire destruction is 22 times the amount logged. By far the greater proportion of the annual pulpwood cut is exported, and the United States at present depend on Canada for 40 per cent. of its pulpwood, most of which is obtained in eastern Canada. It is estimated that in less than ten years the forests of the United States, west of the Rockies, will be exhausted. It is startling to reflect that the destruction annually exceeds the cut by almost one-fifth, or that for every eleven feet cut 13 feet are de- _ stroyed. “The full significance of this subject,” he went on, “has not yet been grasped by the general public for the simple reason that the man in the street does not realize how pulpwood and lumber affect his life. The house will cost more to build, furniture will be dearer, almost every article of food will cost more to put up, while the same _ applies to every commodity we use. That is unless boxes, paper wrappers, cardboard boxes and so on, can be replaced by something — a else. In fact we can link up almost everything in connection with F our daily life with lumber and pulpwood. : . i Habits of Progressive Business Man a ; “Habits of a Man of Business,” which was written by Wm. . Gauld, Inspector and Dock Foreman of the Laidlaw-Belton Lumber . Co., Limited, of Sarnia, Ont., contains many items of timely interest and value. The points made by the writer are worth considering and might well be cut out for future reference. Here they are:— A sacred regard to the principles of justice forms the basis of every transaction, and regardless the conduct of = the upright man of business. He is strict in keeping his engagements. Does nothing carelessly or in a hurry. 3 Employs nobody to do what he can easily do himself.

K. J. Shirton, president of the O.R.L.D.A., presided. The directors’ conference took up ‘both the morning and the afternoon. Judging from the pro- gramme finally adopted the gathering in Toronto on Jan. 15th, 16th and 17th will be the most profitable and entertaining that the Asso- ciation has yet attempted. It only needs now the tbacking of the retailers themselves to make the convention ‘‘the biggest” from both a business and social standpoint. President Shirton, said he had enjoyed every moment serving the association during the past year and was looking forward with interest to the coming gathering at the King Edward, Hotel, Toronto. After Secretary Boultbee gave the business report, the chairman called upon J. B. Mackenzie as chairman of theRedistribution of Dis- tricts Committee, to give his report. Mr. Mackenzie found, in study- ing the question of redistribution that the Stratford district was the only section which called for any extensive redistribution of territory. He reported that the dealers in Stratford and district were strongly in favor of adding the counties of Bruce, Huron and Perth, M. R. Bogart, of Chatham, stated the counties mentioned had been allotted to the South Western Branch but that these countries had natural transportation connections into the Stratford district, and it would be a profitable change for the dealers in those counties. At the directors’ meeting on the morning of the first day of the con- vention the matter of redistribution will be finally attended to when the members of the Stratford district will be consulted with. _ The Details of the Convention The Secretary read to the directors what the Entertainment Committee had drawn up in an endeavor to give the visiting mem- bers a real good time in the Queen City.

The social functions will not in any way conflict with the busi- ness meetings which will include many interesting trade discussions during the hours of the mornings and afternoons. In a resolution adopted by the directors it was decided not to charge members for the expense of the dinner, banquet and entertain- ment but if.a member brings his family or firm employees, the sum of $3.00 for each extra plate and $1.00 for the theatre reservation will be paid at the time of registration. Another resolution which was moved by W. M. Tupling, of Orillia, and seconded by M. R. Bogart, was that the annual banquet be for retailers only. Tickets for the banquet could be procured only through the retailers. If the members desired to bring friends to the banquet, they would be very welcome but it was felt that the retail- ers should know who were with them when they sat around the festive table. _A resolution was also: placed on record authorizing the secret- ary to invite representatives of the Canadian Lumbermen’s Associa- tion, the Wholesale Lumbermen’s Association, the ‘Ohio, Michigan, New York and National Retail Associations, to come to Toronto and share with the Ontario men the discussions and entertainments of their annual meeting. J. C. Scofield moved that the directors recommend that the fees obtained from exhibitors at the convention in the King Edward Hotel be used for defraying the expenses of the annual gathering. The tentative programme drafted for the conviction was sub- mitted as follows. Wednesday January 16th _ A.M. Directors Meeting. 2. P.M.

The question of traffic service was discussed for the purpose of checking over rates, routing, overcharges, etc., and it was decided — that Secretary Boultbee should communicate with R. L.

Scofield of Windsor brought up an important matter in reference to the interior finish being placed in buildings, when the plaster was green. the blame was always thrown back upon the factory man. It was decided that a slip should be printed and distributed through the O.R.L.D.A. similar to announcements that had been sent out by the Southern Sash, Door and Millwork Manufacturers Association of Atlanta, Ga. The slip reads as follows: DANGER TROUBLE LOSS ANNOYANCE ° Don’t store or erect inside trim, sash, doors, millwork, or any kind of seasoned lumber in a building unless the plastering is thoroughly dry Damp plaster will swell, warp, blister, twist, shrink and otherwise damage or ruin seasoned material.

Atlanta, Ga.. ‘Copies of this slip will be sent by retailers to contractors, archi- tects and others. The question of insurance was introduced by the Chairman, Mr. Shirton. He said insurance was a big item and large premiums were being paid, and if there was any profits they should revert to the retailers themselves. Several took part in this discussion. It was decided that it would be advisable to have'a survey made of the retail yards of Ontario with a view of obtaining the lowest possible rate from insurance companies. A, D. Hardy of Ottawa will be com- municated with in connection with the matter of a survey. Mr. Scofield stated that the chief of Windsor department appear- ed on his premises the other day and asked that the whistle be blown as a fire alarm.

If there was any after defect in the woodwork | m ~ The spacious dining room of the camp One of the oldest and most widely-known lumber organizations in Ontario is the Victoria Harbor Lumber Co., Limited, Toronto, whose sawmills are located at Victoria Harbor on Georgian Bay. The company was founded by the late John Waldie, a veteran lum- berman, whose sons are today well and worthily carrying on the enterprise. F. N. Waldie is the president; R. S. Waldie vice-presi- dent and W. E. Harper secretary. The earlier lumbering activities of the company were in the French River district but since 1907 they have been conducted farther north. The “North Shore,” or that region tributary to Georgian Bay above the French River, became, after the supremacy of the Ottawa Valley had passed, the most important pine producing country in Ontario. The French River, and the Wahnapitae, from about 1885 yearly carried large drives, while many smaller streams contributed their smaller quota of logs from the easily accessible lands. These logs at first were mostly exported across the lake to the state of Michigan; but later, when the embargo on the export of logs cut on Crown lands came into force, in 1898, a large sawmill industry was developed at the foot of Georgian Bay, and the logs were towed to be milled in ‘Canada. The decline in the total cut of pine in Ontario coincides with the diminution in the output from the “North Shore” as, indeed, a large part of the total cut came from this section. Fire has, of course, been very prevalent, particularly on account of the early prospecting for minerals in this region, so that with the heavy lumbering or the last thirty years, the stock of pine timber has been greatly deplet- ed. Production of pine in the Western District of Ontario, of which the “North Shore” is most important has been as follows :1918—197,- 181,151; 1917—187,349,181; 1916—266,853,223; 1915—-338,941,457; - 1914—287,608,122; 1913—230,810,994; 1912—373,393,923; 1911—464,- 040,275; 1910—469,093,674 board feet In 1907, the Victoria Harbor Lumber Company purchased from the Saginaw Lumber Company, of Michigan, timber berths 83, 75, and 68, Algoma, which are tributary to Lake Panache, some twenty miles south west of Sudbury. The Company also owns berth No. 175 which is on the Blind River about one hundred miles west of Sudbury. The approximate area of berths 83, 75 and 68 is eighty- three square miles, and of No. 175, thirty-six square miles, a total of one hundred and nineteen square miles of timberland controlled by the company, on which ground rent and fire tax is paid. Berths 83, 75 and 68 are contiguous and were originally covered for the most part with pure pine stands, of unusual density, studded here and there by small areas of hardwoods. Being situated on Lake Panache, which drains through the Whitefish River to Georgian Bay, and has over a thousand miles of shore line, every part of these limits is readily accessible, and logging has been comparatively easy. Berth 175, on the other hand, contains pine of a much poorer quality, and is in a country very difficult to-log, on account of its rough topography. The Logging, the Drive and the Tow The Victoria Harbor Lumber Company does its own logging, conducts its own drive through the Whitefish River, which it has controlled since the purchase of the limits on Lake Panache, and does its own towing to the mills at Victoria Harbor one hundred and twenty-five miles from the river mouth! Thus, besides the manu- facture of lumber at the sawmill, and its sale, there are three dis- _ tinct departments of work, the logging, the drive and the tow. , The company built three mills at Victoria Harbor, each of a capacity of 125,000 b.f. per day. One of these was destroyed by fire, and at present only one of the other two is operated. The amount of timber immediately available to the company, and the risk involy- CANADA LUMBERMAN: Methods Employed ie Gettin Logging, Driving, Towing Operations in — Bringing White Pine Logs to Georgian — Bay Sawmills By W. R. Haddow ed in holding it, would seem to have dictated the policy i in regard to production capacity. A For the purpose of this report, a camp in township 83 was visited. on in berth 83, with as many as four camps operating in one year. — These have been conducted from ten camp sites, Two years’ opera- tion from each camp has been the rule, though topography and differ- ences in the stands of pine have caused variation in the amounts of timber accessible from the different camp sites. The camp occupied last winter had already been in use two years, and has still several seasons’ cut ahead of it. The township will then be stripped of merchantable pine. The timber cut from this camp during the win- ters 1919-20 and 1920-21, is as follows :— . The camp which the company finds mose efficient consists FOL, around one hundred men. From 75,000 to 150,000 logs are cut dur- ing a season, Last year the labor situation has been fairly satisfactory from _ the operator's viewpoint. There is little settlement in the region west of Sudbury, between the C.P.R. and Georgian Bay, on account of the lack of agricultural soil, so that labor for the camps is all brought in from outside. Before and during the war, labor was sought at the employment agencies in Montreal and Ottawa, as well as in Toronto and smaller Ontario towns. Labor secured in this way, at considerable expense, often proved very unsatisfactory, many men jumping after a few days’’ work, and frequently those remain- ing would be unused to the work and unskilled in the use of any wood tools. Usually some men from the mills spend the winter in camp, and some are secured from the settlements and villages toward Sault Ste. Marie. These men are the most efficient. Standing timber in Township 83 has escaped serious ul ‘dam- age. This may be partly due to the fact that it is naturally pro- tected from invading fires by Lake Panache, Bear Lake, and others, © e which form in circle around it except on the southern side, which is open. hier How Fire Ranging is Done Fire protection is administered by the Ontario Forestry Branch. The Ranging District Headquarters is at Webwood, where the chief’ tanger of the district is stationed during the fire season, which is from May to the end of September. During the summer of 1921 seventy-five men were employed as fire rangers in this district, and 76 fires were reported, none of which became very serious before being brought under control. The direct protection afforded to Township 83, consists of a launch patrol on Lake Panache, and the control of settlers clearing fires by the permit system. A fire tax of one cent per acre is imposed on the limit holders. Although the fire protective organization has undoubtedly re- duced the fire hazard, it has not eliminated it, and there is constant danger of great loss to the operator through fire, which, in cases where a large initial investment has been made, compels the opera- tor to cut rapidly. The country southwest of Sudbury might best be described as — a rocky, undulating plain, with a gentle south westerly slope. The valleys and ridges have a general N.E. and S.W. trend; the valleys Victoria Harbor Lumber Co’s.

The general elevation is from 900 to 1,000 feet above sea level. Lake Panache, which lies in a deep hollow, is 772 feet above sea level. The ridges and rounded hills seldom rise more than 150 feet above the level of the surrounding country. Three forest types were distinguished in the area covered by the operation,—(1) Pine; (2) Spruce; (3 Mixed (conifers and hard- wood). No stand of pure hardwood occurred in the vicinity of recent logging, but patches are not uncommon throughout the region, and some of the river bottoms are almost entirely pure hardwood. No basis for the determination and classification of forest types seems as yet to be generally accepted. Viewed from the stand- point of site factors, based on soil and topography, the types distin- guished would be, swamp, bottom, slope and ridge. ‘The first of these occupied almost exclusively by black spruce comprised an insignil- cant part of the area being logged, a few acres being found in the south western part of the tract, at its junction with the area logged last season. Pure Pine Covers Most of Area The bottoms or the low-lying land not actually swamp, sup- port a mixed forest composed mostly of red and white pine, black ash, yellow ibirch, spruce and cedar with balm of gilead, balsam, hem- lock, maple (hard and soft) tamarack and white elm as secondary species named in the order of their apparent frequency of occurrence. There was no distinct change in forest type on the slopes as com- pared with the ridges. The whole area, with the exception of the swamp land, and the low-lying land, occupied by the mixed forest, was in practically pure pine. The mixed type, which occupied the low land around Bass Lake, was logged for the pine which it contained. The largest trees of both red and white pine were found in the region, a specimen ofi the first named species measuring 32 in. on the stump, with a ring count of 200 years at this point. A slightly smaller stump was 195 years old. The amount of pine per acre in this type would average about 7 M b.f. of which perhaps a half would be red pine. Pure pine forest covers most of the area, as stated above. It is evenly aged, 185 years on the stump, unusually close, with a general top level of 100 feet. As a result of the density of the stand, the boles are clean and slender, with low taper, slightly less than twu inches in a 16-foot log, according to the scalers. ‘The percentages of red and white pine were very hard to determine, as the red pine occurs throughout the stand in irregular scattered patches. It was conspicuously dominant on the rockier and more exposed sites, as well as on some of) the smaller swampier soils. White pine, however, was considerably more numerous over the whole area, and frequently occurred pure. The cut was expected to contain one-third red pine. One acre, an average of the better stocked white pine areas, gave the following volumes, Doyle Rule, based on the volume tables prepared at Burwash Lake. White Pine 14,000 bf. Red Pine 1,000 b.f.

There were besides, 51 spruce logs. This represents an average of the red and white mixture. It would be safle to say 20,000 b.f. could be found on a single acre. The average log content is low, on account of the small size of the tim- ber. The above figures give 21 b.f. for the average white pine log, and 29 for the average red, Doyle Scale. Good Character of the Logs The logs are for the most part very sound. This is especially true of the red pine, which does not seem to be subject to fungus diseases to as great an extent as is the white pine. It was only in the butt logs of the larger trees that rot was found. There seemed to be two kinds, a brown rot, which appeared at the centre, and worked out, leaving finally a hollow and also a punky rot, in color, which spread irregularly through the wood. An interesting and important feature of the pine forest was the understorey of balsam and spruce, which trees were rarely of large size, but were everywhere numerous, except on the most exposed sites, often forming an almost complete cover over areas several acres in extent.’ On the single acre described above there were 150 of these trees, most of which were balsam, from 5 to 20 feet in height. | Pine reproduction was conspicuous by its absence. Only around the lake shores, and in occasional openings in the forest, were any — young trees seen above the snow. On account of the location of its mills in relation to the limit, the Victoria Harbor Lumber Company must carry over a large num- ber of logs in its booms in order to keep the mill running until the © season’s cut arrives in July. Logs floated in Panache Lake in the spring do not reach Victoria Harbor till July or later. from six to ten million feet of logs are kept over the winter. The number of logs taken out of the woods in a season is deter- © mined by the available supply, the mill capacity and the cost of — Last year’s opera- tion was undertaken on account of the existence of the camp in a delivery in relation to the selling price of lumber. tract of easily logged and good timber, when operations had been carried on during the two previous seasons, and from which, under the present wage scale, logs could be profitably delivered at the mill. — The Equipment for Log Hauling From September Ist, fourteen teams of horses were required by the camp, one team being used exclusively for toting. After hauling commenced, early in January, six more teams were secured from whitefish. The horses used would average 3,200 lbs. per team. The daily ration consists of 1% bushels of oats, and about 50 Ibs. of hay. During the summer the horses are pastured at Whitefish, on 200 acres of land which the company owns. The following road equipment is used: 16 set of logging sleighs, 1 iron plow, 2 wooden plows, 2 sprinklers. The logging sleighs are of the useful camp construction type, made of yellow birch, and very substantial. The iron plow, assembled in camp, has rutters attached. The wooden plows are camp constructed, and are drawn by one or two teams. holding about 200 gallons. One team is used to draw the sprinkler. Jammers are used for log loading. These are constructed in camp. The skidding tongs are manufactured by the blacksmith, from rod Ordinarily _ Sprinklers used are 14 feet x 8 feet x 3 feet, — ee Ree oe ae ie A CANADA LUMBERMAN One of the camps, showing from left to right, barn, sleeping quarters, dining room and cookhouse, sleep camp at the right and storehouse in the middle iron. Skidding chains are 12 feet long and are cut and ated with hooks in clamp. When hauling commenced there were about 20 inches of snow on the ground. The roads had been kept fairly open by occasional plowing, and a week before hauling was to begin the sprinklers- were put on the roads. In order to improve the grade on the hill on the western haul road, over which the loads were drawn by donkey engine, two hundred feet of log bridging was constructed. This was done while the last logs were being skidded. The structure was a simple network, the logs roughly notched, and poles placed on top for surface. Some difficulty was experienced in getting the roads in shape over the lakes. Although there had been some very cold weather, the early and heavy fall of snow had kept the ice from thickening. When more snow came, at the end of December, the lakes flooded and it was several days before the deep slush froze. Fortunately, this happened before preparations for hauling had been completed. How the Scaling is Done Scaling is by the Doyle Rule. It was done by three men, a head scaler, an assistant scaler, and a talley man. A detailed report of the cut is prepared bythe head scaler, and in the spring, a copy is sent to the company head office, and to the nearest crown timber agency office. This is a sworn statement, and it is on these specified amounts of timber that the dues are paid to the government. A copy of the cullers return is appended. The timber on the area being logged is Sill As a result of the use of the Doyle Scale in measuring the logs, a large overrun occurs at the mill. A comparison. of the scale by “Doyle Rule and by _ International rule (taper 14 inch in 4 feet, saw 1/8 inch) of the logs found on five representative skidways, is made below: No. Logs Scale b.f.( Doyle) Scale b.f.

Between Scaling logs at Lake Panache for the Victoria Harbor Lumber Co, Some white pine on the limits of the Victoria Harbor Lumber Co. the under-storey of balsam and spruce these places the water is practically dead, and there are three lake expansions of considerable size, of which Long Lake is the largest. On these lakes the logs are either boomed up and towed or swept across, if the wind is favorable. The company has two alligators and a tug for handling the logs on Lake Panache and on the drive. These boats were built on the lake, the machinery being hauled in from Whitefish. The alligators were supplied by West, Peachey & Sons of Simcoe, Ont. One is propelled by double screws and the other by paddle wheels. The one with screw propulsion has proved — to be the most satisfactory. They burn wood or coal, have a 4-foot x 8-foot boiler and a single 10-inch x 12-inch cylinder geared down to the paddle or screws, and they are provided with a 36-inch drum carrying about half mile of 34-inch cable, which can be geared to the crank shaft. Collecting Logs Lost in Towing The logs reach Georgian Bay about July Ist. With favorable weather conditions, they are towed to Victoria Harbor 125 miles from the river mouth, in about ten days’ time. laké towing are 100 feet in length, and, carry a 14-foot screw. An ordinary tow consists of 50,000 pieces, so that two tows are usually made up from a winter’s cut. A double boom is placed around the logs, each containing 300 sticks. ‘The tug carries a steam winch with one mile of 14-inch steel cable. There is always some loss of logs during the tow. With good weather, less than 500 logs may be lost but is unexpected storms occur, there is a possibility of losing the whole tow, and serious loss is certain. the trip. In order to collect lost logs, a co-operative picking company was formed by the operators on the north shore. It is entirely a non-com- mercial concern, the object being to return the logs to the owners as cheaply as possible. The price charged is determined by the opera- ting expenses. During the summer of 1920, 48,000 logs were collect- ed by this company, In considering the future of the area in Berth 83 logged ast winter, the most “important factor to remember is that it may or may not be burned. Judging from the appearance of the rest of the township, one is inclined to believe that the chances of its surviving for many years without being burned, are pretty slight. If it is burned, the fire will be severe, on account of the unusually large amount of brush resulting from the close stand, and practically Note . cs The tugs used for Weather conditions are carefully watched before ane ry © gq + he. im ~ nothing will be left. The area around the storehouse on Lake Pana- che was logged in 1908, and burned over shortly afterwards, to the edge of the standing timber.

It is a common thing to hear men engaged in the executive ranks of the building indus- try declare that the automobile is ruining their business. We must admit that the automobile has a strong pull on the people’s money, but the home building and allied industries should have an even stronger pull, because, for the money spent on a home, more satisfaction is derived. Must Use High Power Methods Unity and enthusiasm are needed in the home building industry, together with the very necessary help and backing of the elec- trical installation and appliance people, the furniture and furnishings trade, plumbing and heating trades, etc., because without the erection of homes, these businesses would languish. High powered methods must be used by the building and allied trades be- cause they are competing with a high pow- ered competitor—the automobile manufac- turer. The people, who are now spending their hard earned dollars for automobiles, instead of homes, can be definitely brought to see the many more advantages and satisfactions of owning a domicile to that of a motor car, if the building trades will stand together and be persistent in. bringing the home owning idea and all its consistent comforts and ad- vantages before the public mind. As an example how viewpoint will decide a person’s mode of living, when the writer was a small boy he had a great distaste for brushing his teeth. It was much easier and less bothersome to run out and play ball without cleaning his molars after meals. One day his father called him and said; Your mother tells me you are not brushing your teeth.- When you grow up to be a man, do you want to have dirty yellow teeth like the Chinaman? If you let your teeth get very dirty, you won’t be able to get them nice and white when you go to parties, and that would make you very much ashamed. From that day on my teeth were brushed regularly because my father had wisely ap- 3 oe mk eee : — ote 1 AS pealed to my sense of pride, which is after all the chief reason why people like to be~ healthy and clean. , It is the same with selling homes. Many people who are now giving practically no thought to their old age, but just living for the present, can be made to see the true value — of owning a home, by appealing to their 4 sense of pride. If the allied building industries would get together for the purpose of carrying on a ~ vigorous campaign for the education of the — public toward taking a deeper appreciation — in the home, the effect would not go unre- 4 warded. The sign board would be an excel- lent method of bringing the message of home owning before the public. The illustration accompanying this article is not meant as a work of art, but merely to convey an idea that would have far reaching results. Waste in the Woods Must Stop “Waste in the Woods” was the subject of an interesting address recently delivered by B. T. McBain, assistant general manager of the Nekoosa-Edwards Paper Co., Port Edwards, Wis., before a gathering of paper mill superintendents at Springfield, Ohio. — The speaker dealt with the subject in a plain, pointed way and what he says regarding — waste of timber in the United States is ap-— plicable to many sections in Canada. In the course of his remarks Mr. McBain ~ said:—‘The more I study this subject of waste, the more I am convinced that we have only scratched the surface of the pos- sibilities. It is waste in every department | of the industry that keeps us in the loss col-_ umn more than it is market conditions and price. We must, therefore, put our own house in order before we can expect to get — much encouragement from the outside. If there is a profit in our waste, why not save that waste and find the profit? , Now as to the subject of this paper. I was surprised to find on investigation that — from eight to twelve million acres of timber-— land are burned annually in our good old — United States. I was further surprised to — learn that 78 million cords of firewood are burned for fuel by farmers alone each year — in the United States alone. es I was further surprised to find on check- ing up the amount of wood consumed by American pulp mills, that not to exceed 12 million cords are used annually by the in- dustry in the United States and part of this is imported from Canada as wood and from — other countries in the form of pulp. From these surprises I have summarized the fol-_ lowing: Eight to twelve times as many cords as we use each year are burned in timber fires — if an acre only,.produces ten cords of wood. Seven to eight times as many cords as we use each year are burned for firewood by farmers. .: Pulpwood requirements are only a small percentage of the annual legitimate con- sumption of wood for all purposes. ; One to two times as many cords of wood are lost to the forest each year from insect — life and disease. Therefore, the waste in the- industry in cutting, in shipping, in wood yards, in pro- — cess and from every other point of view is — only a.very small part of the waste in wood, and while I am not asking that we let up in our efforts to conceive waste from the point where we take a hand in the wood business, I am asking that we all take more of an in- terest in the prevention of the greater waste that results before we in the pulp industry come in contact with the matter at all.

English Jack had removed his coat, fold- ed it carefully and placed it away in his bunk. At French Joe’s bellow, he stepped down from the deacon-seat, for his bunk was on the hurricane-deck, and walked directly into the enemy’s lines, where he side-stepped the big Frenchman’s lethal rush, slapping him smartly on the cheek as he swept past. “Youah manners are simply disgustin’, old deah,” he said mildly. Joe returned to the fray with murder in his eye and erupting censorable language, the burden of which was his intention to remove certain vital organs from the inter- nal economy of “Eenglesh,” and burn them in the stove. English Jack, looking if any- thing, a little bored, made no reply. Ready hands transferred moveable objects to out of the way corners, and to the tops of bunks, for this looked like it would be the real thing; and the men crowded around to see the show. “Keep back an’ give ’em room,” ordered ‘Angus McLeod, restraining Spike Taylor by the neclki-band of his shirt from becoming an active ally of English, who was dancing on tip-toe around French Joe, eluding the clutch of his powerful arms, and as a profane admirer remarked, —hittin’ him when an’ _where he liked.” “Just wait till Joe lands on him or gits holt of him,” said another, “five bucks says English don’t last ten minutes.” The bet was immediately snapped up by Spike Taylor. A fight was practically an every-day occurrence and gave an opportunity of keep- convulsively, as to this upstart 39 CANADA LUMBERMAN brisk even when French Joe’s Daciers offered odds of ten to one. Joe had ceased swearing sick had settled grimly down to business. Although his face was cut on both cheek-bones, and one eye was rapidly closing, while bruises on his ribs screamed of the Englishman’s punching ability,—he had not yet succeeded in laying a finger on the elusive enemy who kept up his maddening will-o-the-wisp tactics; but when he did—.

Large pores have so little actual woody material that from the standpoint of strength they are little more than air spaces. The weight and strength of the material is determined py the summer wood. The medium gtowth wood represented by the middle photo- ‘micrograph, Figure 3B, has a narrower band of pores in the spring wood than the ‘fast growth specimen with the wide ring. Moreover the summer wood of the specimen showing moderate growth rate occupies a larger proportion of the annual ring than the correspond- ing heavy wood in the wide-ring sample. Having a greater propor- tion of the annual layer composed of heavy summer wood, the moder- ate growth is heavier and stronger than the fast growth material, the broad rings of which contain a large proportion of pores and the sum- mer wood of which is likely to contain many thin-walled fibres. Ring-porous wood of extremely slow growth may be quite low in strength. Examination of Figure 3C, showing ash with very nar- row and numerous rings, indicates why this is the case. After the first row of spring pores is formed, subsequent growth has been insufficient to add many fibres and the annual ring consists so largely of air spaces that the strength of the wood is much below normal. The same kind of variation in strength as occurs in the ring-por- ous woods is sometimes found in diffuse- -porous woods, but is usually less extreme. Figure 4 represents the variation in strength of some diffuse- the following conclusions may be drawn. (1) he strength of any kind of wood is approximately proportional to the density of the wood. (2) Hardwoods are heaviest usually when they have from 6 to 15 rings per inch. o. (3) A hardwood with less than 4 rings per inch is below the maximum in strength value for the species. (4) Variations in strength of hardwood timber of the same species but of different rates of growth are due to varia- tions in the “pore content” of the wood. - j (5) Variations in “pore content” are greatest in ring- porous woods and are of some consequence in the soft diffuse- porus hardwoods but are least noticeable in the hardest dif- fuse-porous woods.

Piche, chief forester, and one of the biggest cuts” recorded in the province is expected for the season of 1923-24. In all there will ‘be about 30,000 men working in the vario lumber camps during the winter, if the different companies have been able to obtain ail the help they required. This figure is an cine crease of 5,000 over he number given about a month ago as Heme how many would work in the camps this winter. The camps them selves will number about 3,000, it was stated. To cope with the situation the staff of forest Cameare has bea increased by fifty per cent, and now number around 160 men, who will look after the interests of the Government and visit the camp: to see that only the proper timber shall be cut. It is expected that of the 3,000 camps in Quebec will be visited twice a month by forest rangers. porous species of various growth rates. Figure 5 (A, B, & C) showing a diffuse-porous wood (paper birch) indicates that these variations are related to anatomical fea- tures just as in the ring-porous woods. The amount of space occupied by pores in diffuse-porous woods tends to vary but little whether the annual rings are wide or narrow and the slight change in pore content explains, therefore, the relatively small differences in strength. In fact the strength of some of the hardest and heaviest of - North American diffuse-porous woods seems unaffected by changes in growth rate. The strength of yellow birch is but little altered by changes i in the rate and very slow growth hard maple is undiminished in strength, the wood showing no appreciable difference from nor- mally rapid growth wood in the volume occupied by pores.

Vol. 43 December 15, 1923 No. 24 Some Reflections at Yule-tide Season Another year is closing in the lumber business and at this festive season the thoughts of men turn to the joys and delightful associations of Christmas time rather than to business cares, poten- tial profits and quick turnovers. Holiday greetings are being extended on all sides and the spirit of “Peace on Earth and Goodwill to Men” is surcharging the atmosphere and creating kindlier feeling, greater happiness and wider generosity than is manifested at any other time. The lumber business has often been described as a game that is full of speculation, uncertainty, struggle and triumph. In it, true exponents of the industry find their chief delight. Happy is the man who discovers fun in.his daily work; if he does not, he will get but little enjoyment out of life. Most men are in the lumber line because they love it and are anxious to see it grow and become established on a firm pedestal. Supplying the material needs from which homes are built, is one of the greatest vocations of the present period. It is well, however, for men at times to detach themselves from every-day duties and anxieties and reflect upon the blessings which have attended their efforts during the past year. While results may have fallen short of expectations, there is much to be thankful for both in personal affairs and in the realization that Canada is to-day in a much better shape from an employment, industrial and financial standpoint than many other countries. Her people are contented and happy and her citizens for the most part, industrious and thrifty, while her outlook in the larger affairs of world activities was never more luminous. This, however, is not a dissertation upon trade topics or statis- tics. It is more in harmony with the thought that each one is entitled to the fullest measure of health, happiness and prosperity, coupled with the wish that good fortune may attend their particular ventures and the great lumber industry in general during 1924. While there is rise and fall in the volume of turnover, prices and production, it must be remembered that back of all the lumberman has a high calling. His perspective must be wide and his sympathies _ deep. There is no finer study than that of forest products, and the ’ - successful manufacturer and distributor of them cannot possess too _ much knowledge relating to their growth, conversion and transporta- tion. The question ever present is that the retail lumberman to-day occupies a big place in the plans and purposes of any community. _ From doing business on low-lying ground, in an out-of-the-way 3 location and tumble-down premises, he has come to the forefront as _ an important factor and real force in the progress and stability of _ any centre. He believes in service and has broadened the scope of LUMBERMAN 65 The trend is in the direction of better and more commodious dwellings. Any man, who fosters this spirit and points the way to more sanitary and comfortable domestic surroundings, is doing a work worth while. He, who gets behind the home campaign and assists in giving it impetus and strength, is a real live resident and of proportions, ample enough to rejoice in the welfare of his fellows and point with pride and satisfaction to the attractiveness and pros- perity of the place in which he does business. The community, which is one of homes, rightfuliy takes its place in the forward movement of the present day. The home-builder becomes a solid, substantial citizen, vitally interested in everything that relates to the advancement and reputation of the place where he resides. It is interesting to note that last year 65 per cent of the occupied homes in Toronto were owner occupied. This is a splendid showing and a remarkable feature of the houses in all the leading cities of Canada is the preponderance of the substantial, brick structures. In these, surrounded by loved ones and in the association of friends, many a joyous hour will be spent at the present Yule-tide occasion. Around the family hearth scenes of other days will be recalled, reminiscences related and the spirit of unity, friendship and affection will have full sway. , So far as all members of the trade are concerned, they cannot get a better grasp of affairs during the coming year and start off under more propitious circumstances than by attending conventions, for January is a month of trade gatherings. They should not come to remain silent so much as to help and take part in the discussion, give their own views and listen to what others have to Say on topics of mutual interest. By rubbing shoulders with the other fellow and coming in close personal contact with him, one is able to realize that, after all, the great human family is sound at heart and co-opera- tive in spirit. The other fellow, too, has the same trials and troubles, as we ourselves, and, in mingling with ordinary mortals, we learn to appreciate the honorable, upright and true, and to discard the base, the mean and the false. ! Longer Lengths in Hardwood Lumber In birch, maple and elm a larger percentage of 14 and 16-foot lengths is being asked for by consumers and wholesalers and more particularly for the export trade. Ata dinner arranged by W, Frank Oliver, of Toronto, (who is a director of the N.H.L.A., and held recently at the National Club Toronto) many Canadian members of the National Hardwood Lumber Association were present to discuss conditions in general. Among those present were W. C. Boadway, of the Wood Sales Co., who is experienced in operating, and John J. Miller, of the Anderson-Miller Co., who is a former National inspec- tor and familiar with wholesale conditions. They. were asked to frame a letter for publication in the “Canada Lumberman” urging, among other things, that, owing to the increasing call and great demand in hardwoods, particularly birch, maple and elm, that every jobber, mill man or lumber manufacturer do his utmost as far as sible, without entailing ber of 14 and 16 ft. lengths. By doing so it will not only be a decided benefit to consumer, but will be of equal or greater advantage to operator, as logs in 14 and 16 ft. lengths, although containing a much larger number of feet than shorter lengths, can be logged about as cheaply, which also applies to the milling end and the handling of lumber, both in mill yards and in course of inspecting and shipping. A larger percentage of these lengths would increase the cuttings in the No. 1 and No, 2 common, by one or two pieces in each board. It is well known that many mill men are not giving the atten- tion they should, to trimming and edging their lumber properly. Some have the idea that something is gained through increasing the width by leaving waney edge and also the length by not closely trim- ming. This is, of course, an entirely mistaken idea and instead of pos- increasing, lowers the grade and value. Trimming and edging should - be looked into more closely than at present. Bark is not even classed as a sound defect and so edging and trimming all bark from stock, would raise the grades 5% or more. It is found that considerable stock, after being seasoned, runs thin of the thickness intended, owing to not enough being allowed for shrinkage when the lumber is sawn. Mill:men should watch this important feature. A. C. Huber, of Milwaukee, Wis., who for several years was associated with the Adams River Lumber Co. (Chase, B. C., will - arrive in Toronto shortly to look after the eastern interests of that firm as well as the Associated Mills, during the illness of J. T.

The boys won the championship in the Manufacturers’ League dur- ing the past season. The Manufacturers’ League was formed in Ottawa in the summer of 1922 and consists of six teams—McAuliffe-Davis Lumber Coun R. Booth, Limited; James Davidson’s Sons; Ottawa Dairy; British American Bank Note Co. and the Mortimer Co. The members of the Davidson team have an enviable record and one that any club might well be proud of. In the summer of 1922 they played 56 games and lost only 3, thus capturing the champion- ship of the League for the Reach trophy presented by the Reach Sporting Co. of the United States. The boys came up this year and repeated their past preformance playing 30 games and losing only 3, and carrying off the Spanding trophy put up by Spanding Bros., of New York. : During the past season the Davidson team played off with the Beach Foundry, champions of the Mercantile League, for the Booth trophy donated by J.

The committee which was created by resolution of the Bureau’s ninth annual convention last April is representative of each branch of the industry, as well as of the various regional Millwork associations. Its members have given much study to the matter of collective advertising and this initial meeting was called for the purpose of deciding upon a proper plan of procedure. ; F. J.

It was decided that the proposed campaign be directed to architects, contractors, and the general public, and that it be conducted under the name of American Millwork Institute. Be cause the entire trade is concerned, it was decided also that the whel industry rather than simply the members of the Millwork Cost Bur eau, should be asked to participate in the campaign. peeing TS A complete prospectus of the campaign will be submitted at the annual convention of the Millwork Cost Bureau next April. The members of the Bureau will then be asked to decide whether the — Millwork Cost Bureau shall become the American Millwork Institute, — with a department devoted to the publicity campaign, or whether its name and functions shall remain as they are and the advertising pro- ag gram carried on by a separate organization. Meanwhile, in order that the committee may ascertain in advance the appropriate number of firms that will co-operate in the movement, all millwork establish- ments in the country will receive an outline of the program and will be asked whether or not they may be counted on to subscribe to the — campaign fund. . “ye ; Lares How Trees Can be Colored Many Shades By feeding dye to the living wood, according to S. Weinberg, — a chemist, trees can be colored thirty-two different shades, including — apple green, olive green, ebony, weathered oak, and salmon pink. Experiments with a dye, which Weinberg has discovered, are being conducted in the botanical gardens of the University of Penn- sylvania with three trees which have been presented to him by the department of ‘botany. oat ta Oe Introduced into the ‘base of the tree, the dye is diffused through- out the branches by the natural functioning of the tree, Weinberg said.

Pen x Personally | feel similar to the majority of other pulpwood deal- ers and lumbermen throughout the country as being opposed to this much discussed question termed an embargo. I have had the opportunity of hearing both sides of this ques- tion argued. I mean by both sides, that I have had heard this mat- ter discussed by manufacturers and pulpwood owners throughout Northern New York and elsewhere, as well as the producers in Canada. The question has been brought up on several occasions as to how far the restriction regarding exportation would be in- volved. If it is, as I understand, that private lands—such as granted and freehold lots will come under this embargo, my opinion is it would be rather drastic and unfair to the multitude of farmers and settlers throughout the Province, who are depending solely upon that source of revenue, and in some cases the only source for _ their daily bread and butter. We personally ship in the neighborhood yearly about 30,000 cords of pulpwood from all over the province in lots from one car- - joad to ten carloads or more, having on our list about 75 shippers. _ These shippers as a rule are small dealers and merchants through- : out New Brunswick and Quebec, which in turn buy from a number of farmers and incidentally homesteaders making their yearly re- quired improvements and manufacturing into pulp such wood as is cut from said improvements which is naturally their only source of revenue during the fall and winter months. This is the only bit of encouragement the majority of younger men have to keep them home and on the farm, therefore, we naturally can form an idea of what it would mean to a multitude of people if such restric- tions were put into effect. fia The opinion I have heard éxpressed by some, who seem to be : in favor of an embargo, is that the American manufacturers would be forced to come to Canada and, at least, build and operate ground wood mills, shipping their pulp to the other side and thus creating yy a a finished product. I have been told by mill owners that it is only in cases of necessity that they buy ground wood in preference to buying the raw material and grinding it themselves, due to the fact that it costs in the neighborhood of $5.00 per ton to have to lay up this pulp and put it again through their wet machine. aa Can Paint Bright Picture Best I do not know of any commodity whereby a more beautiful and profitable picture can be painted and brought to the favorable attention of the general public than the pulp business and the won- + derful possibilities it would have and mean to Canada if such an embargo would be put in force. 1] have heard one speaker claim that the North Shore would be lined with pulp mills employing thousands of men. It is needless to say that this form of argument is far fetched and any party making such argument is certainly not in possession of all facts. ‘In the first place we have not sufficient power developed in _ New Brunswick to induce the American manufacturer to pull up stakes and leave behind the mill in full operation and migrate to Canada. It has been for five years the aim of the Canadian people * day a great percentage of our timber lands and timber operations are owned and held by American capitalists, who have in the past and in good faith invested their money in our country. Would it then be fair on the part of the Canadian government to place restric- _ tions such as are being agitated, without first giving the people that they have in the past encouraged over. here, sufficient time d opportunity to find ways and means of bringing their business Canada. This would naturally take, at least, from three to five My opinion is that the sanest way of handling a situation of kind would be for the Canadian Government to offer some ucement to the present established manufacturers in the U. S., au as to others, that may be anticipating such a venture, > lo ite over here, if the Canadian people have not sufficient capi- or enterpr:se to build and operate mills on their own behalf.

Kerr, Campbellton, N. B. was a market in Canada equally as good as the existing one to the other side of us. It would appear to me that we are endeavouring to force the American manufacturer over here to do something that we are fail- ing to do ourselves. I feel quite certain that, if the Canadian Goy- ernment could offer American capitalists some inducement and assist them to obtain water power and other facilities in Canada, that we would have no difficulty in getting our share of the busi- ness, and incidentally marketing our product in Canada. I would think that the present agitators in favor of this embargo were using a sort of dog-in-the-manger argument, and incidentally curtailing and trying to restrict the only profitable existing market which, George S. Kerr, Campbellton, N.B. if put in effect, would cause not only the mill owner in Canada to suffer, but would involve everyone down to the poorest immigrant who is depending upon this source of revenue for daily existence. As sane thinking people they now can see that such an embargo would be a painful realization if they were obliged to market thei products altogether in Canada. In other words the price, which would naturally Canada if we lost the present American market, would have a tend- ency to force the present lumbermen and small producer to leave thousands of cords of wood to rot in the woods, due to that the existing demand would be limited, and not sufficient to make it pr ofitable for them to manufacture tree-tops and the smaller _ lumber which is cut yearly in making slashings for clearing pur- poses and which to-day is manufactured into pulp and shipped to the United States. Agitation is Crippling Business My opinion is that this present agitation regarding an em- — bargo has a tendency to cripple trade and commerce. has most of the lumber and pulp de in a rather uncertain frame of mind as to what the outcome is going to be, restraining them from making preparations as to future con- tracts with the smaller operator. It seems to me that the It naturally Canadian Government should interest themselves by trying to find a way and means for diverting into-pulp a vast amount of forest that has - been unfortunately destro ved by fire. The latter is unmarketable as a long lumber product, and only fit for pulp. If some induce- ment was given to the people throughout the different provinces me Afni agha 6 8 4 he el ee bei ]s aa ea, S Ne ee ee a eee a a ae ee oe Tp ee prevail in — the fact alers on both sides of the line - ee ae, Ae sa} ie?) ie to have this bur ned timber manufactured and shipped as pulp- wood, it would naturally save thousands of cords of green standing timber. If this burned wood is not manufactured this year it will shinai be useless and unmarketable as either a lumber or pulp co I am safe in saying that the greater portion of the pulpwood fiiiped from the Province of Quebec, has a percentage of 75% balsam, and the manufacturers on the other side are unable to make a fair grade of paper from this class of wood. They are however fortunate enough to obtain thousands of cords yearly from the Adirondacks, Vermont and other parts of the country to mix with this poorer grade exported from Canada. If this wood was not cut and exported yearly it would only be so much more left in the woods as a prey of the bud worms and other destructive sources. On the other hand, we must not loose sight of the fact that there are many ways in which our American friends can retaliate if the present discussed embargo was made effective. The friendly feeling existing between ‘Canada and the U. S. at the present time seems to be mutual, and the present existing tariff wall between the two countries is, I imagine, sufficiently high. I think the people of New Brunswick should. do all possible to “reduce this tariff wall instead of trying to add to it. Must Have Money to Carry On Present conditions in New Brunswick are certainly not any too prosperous. The country must have money to pay its obliga- tions and carry on and our greatest source of revenue is the lum- ber and pulp industry. This is a commodity that can quickly be diverted into capital which, if curtailed by an embargo or export tax, would naturally have a tendency throughout the East to make ‘conditions in general worse instead of better. You certainly must all agree that the average lumberman and pulp mare have had suff- cient setbacks in the last few years to entitle them to a. brighter future if they are to remain in business. Failures, we all must admit, have a tendency to give any Province an unhealthy adver- “\tising. I think that the people of New Brunswick and Canada at large should consider themselves fortunate in having such a favorable market at the south of them, and should do all possible to retain such a privilege. I am of the opinion that any agitation to the con- trary will only be forcing the American buyers: to open up more friendly relations with the German and Scandinavian people. These pegple as we must regretably admit can land their products into the United States much cheaper than we are able to on account of a present rate of exchange, low freight rates and such like con- itions. Busy Eastern Organization is Expanding One of the most aggressive and widely known organizations in the province of Quebec is the Brompton Lumber & Mfg. Co., of Bromptonville, Que., which has built up a splendid business during the last three years. The company which was formerly known as the Tobin Mfg. Co., for ten years, runs a sawmill for about five months of the year sawing some 10,000 feet daily. ‘There is also _a lath department which produces about 20,000 pieces daily. In its busy and expanding woodworking plant, the company turns out one 68 CANADA LUMBERMAN carload of windows, sash and frames daily and AS 090 feet of iad. f, wood flooring, particularly in beech. pe There are a number of special lines in which the concern is’ en- gaged, such as the famous Brompton, B.

He was known throughout the northern country in connection with extensive bush hg activities which covered a long period. 1 Mr. Shannon was in his 76th year and, when 14 years” of age started: life in the shanties.

There is always something new to learn about belting, and the ad- vantage of obtaining smooth running belting shafts, with minimum wear, is worthy of attention being given to the experiments and experience of other mill operators. The North American Filer says: No matter what position two shafts are relative to each other, if they are only a reasonable distance apart, they can be successfully belted L* and at that without being very unduly destructive on the belt. It _ does not hurt a ‘belt much to twist it as shown in some of the dia- grams, as long as it is not twisted over ninety degrees. All it does to the belt is to elongate it some on the edges, but if the proper care is taken in pulley alignment, no undesirable effect will be noted on the belt, unless the pulleys are too close together. If a four-inch belt is used, the pulley may be as close as sixteen inches, and for an eight-inch belt thirty-two inches, and so on. What usually ruins a belt is a bad edgewise strain as caused by a com- - mon old style quarter-twist belt operated with no idlers, as clearly ___ shown in the accompanying Fig. 13. In Fig. 13 it will be noted what an excessive edgewise strain there is on the ‘belt near A, and if the _ pulleys are very close together relative to their diameter, this side pull of the belt will be so severe that the belt will actually begin to slide sidewise on the pulley before it unwinds from the pulley, and this sliding will quickly wear the belt. ee Fig. 15 is the same drive provided with what was known as the Leffel idler, A. The idled, A, is set angling as shown to prevent any edge strain on the belt, and is accomplished by simply slightly twist- ing the belt at C. me Fig. 16 is another example of belting possibilities, and it will be noted that the belt runs on and off all the pulleys with practically no edgewise strain and a belt so installed would run with Ta ease and success. He Favors Export Duty on Pulpwood -C. Howard Smith, of Montreal, who is President of the Cana- i dian Manufacturers’ Association, in a recent address in Toronto uf Paictore the Ontario division, favored an export duty on pulpwood. bY - On this point he said:-—‘“I cannot see why we expect our resources aera wood to last any longer in Canada than they have in the United Bear “States. We know what the indiscriminate cutting of wood has done eee: Atl the United States, without exporting tremendous quantities of - wood and raw material to the United States. If this is kept up the 3 end is inevitable. Being a paper and pulp manufacturer, this matter _ is one to which I have given considerable thought and I have a sug- _ gestion to offer on this that may, at least, aid us. _ “TI can appreciate the position of a settler in the Northern > Gountey that gets out a certain amount of wood. It is a paying _ crop and gives him money and he gets a ready sale. This man has to be looked after, and he is entitled to be looked after. On the : i eespencn! of his wood our railways get a certain amount of money in hauling the freight, althoughI cannot see why the freights on wood to the United States should be somewhat lower than freights on wood to Canadian points. “But there are other conditions where the wood is cut on the St. wrence River, dumped into boats and brought to American points which the railways get nothing. _ ‘These woods are our heritage; they belong to Canada; they what we have with which to develop the country and if these for- ‘are not protected, our great pulp and paper industry cannot ex- in the way it should in years to come. ‘ow we have to spend a vast amount of money on these forests rotect them, and they have to be protected. It seems the logical to do would. 3) to put an export duty on this wood and the ef mic money so col yd ed oa ld be eyed, ged returned to ~ eae ee Pim “ya ee: .CANADA LUMBERMAN the different provinces from whence the wood came and should be used exclusively for forest protection and cultivation. For example, “I would say that pulpwood going out of this country for frontier points from the Gulf to the head of the lakes should pay a a higher charge, a very much higher charge, than wood coming from the northern district. The charge for wood from these frontier points might be $6 a cord and the charge from northern points might be $1.50 a cord. This could be very readily worked out on the basis of freight rates. The advantage of this policy would be that neither trade or commerce nor the settlers’ market would suffer, nor the rail- ways lose their revenue, and I believe that the consumers in the United States would not be very much dissatisfied with this pclicy. They also save their money invested in producing pulp and paper, and they also look, with alarm, on the depletion of our Canadian forests. “T estimate on this basis the Government would receive about four million dollars per annum and four million dollars put to forest protection and cultivation would accomplish a great deal. “During the year ending September 1923 we bought from the Unatedh stares: so0ds* valiiesriat 2. 2d io: Rie 6b hws vay eee $614,613,840 ee eee F. 406,563,363 — MaLia dates MW GORMOOUNE IE Rito aac wv e-ele ie? ates feb hye mate ne $208,050,477 more than we sold to them.

H. S. Perkins, of the H. S. Perkins Lumber Co., was in Toronto recently calling upon the trade. William Rutherford, of William Rutherford & Sons Co., Mon- treal, was in Toronto recently attending the funeral of the late Thomas N. Phillips. 1 J. H. Creen, of Saginaw, Mich., manager of the hardwood depart- | ment of the H. W. Kanouse Lumber ‘Co., Detroit, was in Toronto recently on business. : J. L. Macfarlane, of the Canadian General Lumber Co., Toronto, — who has been spending the past few weeks at Chatham and New- castle, N. B., looking after the eastern interests of the firm, has - returned home. ‘Cargill, Limited, of Cargill, Ont., announce that they are offer- ing for sale their property consisting of 7,000 acres of timber and © unimproved land, situated in the Township of Greenock, Bruce Coun- ~ ty, together with their mills in Cargill. W. D. Cargill is also selling — his fine 720 acre farm adjoining the village. ' R. S. Plant, of Toronto, eastern sales manager of the Vancouver Lumber Co., Vancouver, and Laurence Stark, of the sales staff of the Canadian General Lumber Co., Toronto, left recently on an extended trip to the Pacific Coast Privince. En route they will visit Los ~ Angeles, California, and other southern cities. Bu a vote of 23 to 17 the Oliver administration was sustained in — the legislature recently when opposition proposals to regulate the — export of unmanufactured lumber were defeated. Hon. T. D. Pat- tulo, minister of lands, introduced an amendment proposing that the federal government be asked to extend the scope of the royal com- mission now considering an embargo on pulpwood export to include the British Columbia lumber situation. W. A. Armstrong, of Flesherton, Ont., who for many years has been associated with timber activities in that section of Grey County,= © is taking out a quantity of spruce piling, and also several thousand cedar poles for the Hydro-electric Commission. The poles average in length about 30 to 35 feet and are 6 to 7 in, at the top while the © piling averages about 35 feet with 7 in. top and 12 in. butt and is sold — on a running foot basis. Mr. Armstrong also operates a portable sawmill at different times during the year and has bought up several timber and bush lots and does considerable business with the farm- ers in the surrounding district. Taken suddenly ill shortly after leaving to visit his married daughter on Arundel Ave., Toronto, John Butler, former Mayor of Woodstock, collapsed and died. Mr. Butler played’ an important © part in the municipal life of the city of Woodstock, Ont., several — years ago. In 1903 and 1905 he served as Alderman and in 1906 was elected Mayor, which office he also held for two years. In 1855 he first came to woodstock and opened a grocery store. A year later he formed a partnership with his brother, R. E. Butler, and went into the wholesale lumber trade. Later he came to Toronto, where he was in business for himself. Mr, Butler was 68 years of age and was born in Brighton, Ont. He is survived by his widow and two daughters, Calgary, Alta. eS =X eae . g a att RAY Limes Jar od Dryden Residents Oppose Pulpwood Embargo At a recent meeting of those interested in pulpwood which was held in Dryden, Ont., S. Swanson was appointed a delegate from the district to appear before the Royal Pulpwood Commission when it sits in Northern Ontario after the Christmas holidays. A resolution was carried at the meeting to the effect that those interested in the sale of pulpwood would regard the proposed em- bargo as detrimental to their interests by restricting the market for wood. At the same time they recognized that, if the duty at present imposed by the United States on kraft paper could be reduced or entirely removed, the resulting benefit to Canadian mills would go far to improve the lot of the settlers by providing a home market for their pulpwood and other products. H. F. Bullard, general manager of the Dryden Paper Co., was called upon to state his views. He assured those present that so far as his company was concerned, there was no desire to interfere with their freedom to deal wherever their interests dictated. The prob- lem of Canadian mills was not one of supply of raw material but one of wider markets for their product. Although they supplied a large portion of the western market, that after all was a restricted market compared to the immense market to the south. As long as raw material from Canada could reach American mills duty free and they were protected by a thirty per cent. tariff, the inequality would be to the serious disadvantage of manufacturers on this side. With a more equal adjustment of tariffs he belived the mills closer to the timber limits could hold their own. If they could supply the Ameri- can market without the handicap of the tariff, his company probably would instal two more paper machines. It surely needed no argument to convince them of the benefit that it would bring to the district. While the pulpwood embargo - offered no particular advantage, he would be glad if the government — could successfully place a case before the Washington government _ to leave the tariff handicap more evenly adjusted. : A. J. Clempson said that the Dryden mill was not asking for any privileges in the buying of wood, especially as they were able to use jackpine by their special process, and it was mostly spruce that was exported. There was, however, a heavy duty on the pro- duct of the mill when shipped across the line. If that could be modi- _ fied, he thought the settlers around Dryden would not need to worry much about finding outside markets, for their own mill would buy all the pulpwood they could cut. Would Stop Pulpwood Going Out E Hon. Dr. Landry, former Provincial Treasurer of New Bruns- wick, in a recent speech, severely criticized the appointment of the ~ Royal Commission on pulpwood and came out strongly in favor of an embargo on the export of wood from Canada. In support of his contention he said that statistics showed that only about $10 a cord _ was left in New Brunswick for pulpwood exported as such, whereas if it was made into paper, the benefits, which would come to the province, would be mult’plied. The industries, which would result from an embargo against the shipment of pulpwood, would furnish employment for many people and serve to keep home the young men who were not leaving the province. Mild Weather Adds to Logging Expense The prevailing mild weather in the province of Quebec is having the effect of retarding and adding to the expense of lumber opera- tions. Mr. John- Power, in the employ of the St. Pacome Lumber Co. as superintendept of operations in the woods, reached Quebec on December 3. Speaking. to the Quebec correspondent of the *Canada Lumberman,” he said the unprecedented mild weather and ‘rain is greatly interfering with logging. The woods are filled with ‘water, the ground slimy and, in consequence, the woodsmen have difficulty in maintaining their footing. These conditions especially apply to the low and marshy lands where the horses sink deep in the ground. In the high lands these conditions do not prevail, i Centre. fonnatygpER 0000008 |TRIAIAIAI AAA welt e ers Staessen nore ttgenteee nevertheless the ground is slippery, making it difficult for the log to hold their footing. Mr. Power also said that there are un activities progressing in the woods and the cutting for the season” 1923-24 will be as extensive, if not larger, than the previous year. — Although there are quite an army of woodmen and a large n ber of camps this season, there is an absence of the old-time, w seasoned, capable woodsman of the French Canadian race. ’ larger number of men at present employed are young French Ca dians, and, though willing to work, are not of the same staminz their forbears; hence the new scheme of importing Czecho-Slova tc work in the woods by representative limit holders is hailed 1 satisfaction. Over 1200 Czecho-Slovakians have been brought Canada during the past five or six weeks and have been distribu in the various centres of the mining camps of both Northern Ont- — ario and Quebec. Their utility as woodsmen is being watched ae by the firms who are making the experiment in such cl or labor. ; The importation of Czecho-Slovakians to work in the Can woods has of late attracted considerable attention and the qui has arisen as to why the limit holders could not induce British le to perform the same work. An Englishman, discussing this | of the situation with the “Canada Lumberman,” said that there Te many thousands of sturdy men in England, Ireland and Sco: and, who would be pleased to come out to Canada and engage in logging operations if they were properly educated regarding the true condi- tions. The Englishman in question said he had personaliy worked in the woods during nine years and found it a healthy and conge 1 work without much hardship. But in England and Ireland, as as in Scotland, the sturdy men, who would be willing to come ot i and prove capable loggers, were under the impression that to labor in the Canadian woods during the winter season, was slavery. —— New Barking Drums Being Installed | The Canadian Barking Drum Co., of Toronto, has recently — sold two barking drums to Edward Lloyd, Limited, of Sittingbourne Kent, England. The size of the drums is 9 ft. 6 in. by 30. Edward Lloyd, Limited, are erecting a 100-ton ground wood which will be the largest mill of its kind ever constructed in land, and the wood for the operations will be imported from Nor Sweden and Finland. The drums will be used for rossing the w The Canadian Barging Drum Co. has also received contracts one drum each from the St. Maurice Paper Co. for their pla Cape Madeleine, Three Rivers, Que., and the Glengarry Pulp of Cornwall, Ont. : Discrimination Without Justification Editor of the Canada Lumberman: i At the hearing of the Royal Commission on Pulpwooc Maritime Provinces it was conclusively shown by the evidence of practical lumbermen, both in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, t as an operation for either sap-peeled or rossed pulpwood distributes as much money in the district in which it is carried on as does the or ary lumber and saw-mill operation. ~ sn the ey What justification then can be urged for a measure which to restrict the exploration of the one and not the other? lee Where the cost of production, applies to some common u measurement, is as great for sap-peeled or rossed pulpwood as rough sawn lumber, can a government fairly say:— 7 “You, A, may not sell your wood in a round stick to an Ame pulp and paper manufacturer to make pulp or paper with.” But :— Las “You, B., may, nevertheless, continue to sell your wood in square or flat stick to a Cuban or South American to build a shack with.” Lee ‘hale Very truly yours, ~ Boulderwood, Halifax, December 2, 1923. __ ene res od Prices 6/4; 186,00 55.00 30.00 Hickory Toronto Hardwood 8/4... .. 100.00 70.00 35.00 FAS No. 1 com.

CANADA LUMBERMAN 11 How Live Lumber Dealers Get Business In a recent edition of the “Canada Lumberman” it was shown how retailers could estimate trade in the fall and early winter months by featuring storm sash and doors. It was also pointed out that here was a growing field of activity. Comparatively few new houses are fitted with such accessories as storm doors and sash, which if properly installed, will, it is esti- mated, save from one-quarter to one third of the usual coal bill. A number of retailers have been alive to this and have made known through the press that they believe in reasonable publicity. When trade is quiet, they increase their newspaper space and labor all the more diligently to secure orders to keep their plant in operation and their organization intact. Short selling talks on the use of storm doors and storm windows have been given by not a few firms and the results obtained have been satisfactory. One eastern firm doing business in a town of about 7000, has found that it pays to have a young man to go around to the various homes and talk to the owners or the housewives in regard to such conveniences. He is able to give an estimate then and there on the job required, and being Johnny on the spot and offering valuable and timely suggestions, has brought in a large amount of business for his employer. Others have sent out leaflets, booklets, circulars, etc., illustrated with either an outside door or window, and some even contain pic- tures of homes, fitted on every side with these accessories which are so much appreciated at this particular period of the year. The “Canada Lumberman” has collected the following from a dozen or more advertisements as typical of what retailers are doing in this line. An Orillia firm says,—“You will save fuel and it will add to the comfort of your dwelling if you put on storm doors and sash. We can fill your order promptly and efficiently.” An Edmonton, Alta., yardman remarks,—Let us fit storm win- Phone our office and we will send our estimator to measure and give you a price on them.” A lumber merchant at Cranbrook, B. C., declares—*Now is the time to consider placing your order for storm sash and doors which will add greatly to the comfort of your home during the winter months and also reduce your fuel bill. Let us have your order which we can fill promptly.” A Toronto company in their announcement state,—“Our storm sash are extra heavy and made of clear pine. We can give you an estimate covering fitting, glazing and hanging complete, if preferred.” A Hamilton dealer proclaims,—‘“Better order those storm sash now.’ A dollar spent at this time will-save you many a dollar in your coal bill. ur sash are made of clear white pine to the sizes you require. Storm doors are also a necessity and can be had on short notice. They are both inexpensive and durable and made with or without openings for glass. It is not too late to make yourself comfortable for the winter months.” Another retailer in a neighboring town in Western Ontario, who does work not only in his own district but throughout the adjoining towns and townships, put an ad. in a Toronto paper, setting forth the necessity for and comfort of storm sash and doors. He told in a short, readable way what an economical move it was on the part of the householder to have these conveniences installed, adding to the enjoyment and coziness of the home. The advt. brought in so many out-of-town orders and inquiries that the dealer had to dis- continue use of the newspaper space till his factory caught up with the business in hand. Then the advt. was re-inserted and several more responses came to hand. Who says that timely, well directed publicity does not pay the alert retail lumber merchant? Should Form Building and Loan Society That Chathamites should seriously consider the formation of a building and loan association in the city was a recommendation made at the Lion’s Club, Chatham, Ont., by Sylvester Hadley, who spoke in his classification of “lumber.” Mr. Hadley stated that such an organization should be formed in Chatham for the purpose of encouraging people to build and own their own homes and that it would be of inestimable benefit in increasing the prestige and value of city property. In his talk on lumber, Mr. Hadley gave an interesting descrip- tion of a visit paid to the plant of the Great Southern Lumber Co. at Bogalusa, Louisiana, some time ago. The firm owns the town and employs about three thousand men. It takes four days to see the complete lumber plant in operation. ‘Two 10-hour shifts are operated and the balance of four hours is given over to repair work.. Approxi- mately 1,000,000 feet of lumber is handled by the plant every day and the present limits of the company provide enough material to keep the employees ibusy for the nevt thirty years.

For 5 ‘instance spruce is decidedly strong having advanced $2 to $2.50 per _M. feet during the past two weeks; thin lumber is in particular de- mand as the market seems almost bare of 1 in. stocks. On the other hand, spruce lath is wobbly and prices vary, some quoting as low as _ $7.25 for No. 1 lath delivered Montreal, and No. 2 lath ranges all the way from $4.25 to $5.25 per M., a wide descrepancy for such class of stock. This is due no doubt to the fact that the latter price is paid _when it goes straight into consumption, whereas, if the stock must _ be yarded $1 per M. is taken off. P The New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania markets are decid- edly weaker, heavy shipments of lath having gone in there by water Bees the Maritime province ports, and consequently as low as $5.50 to $6.65 is now the best offered to the mills for No. 1 at New Brun- ia - swick or Nova Scotia points. Bip In pine stocks prices remain steady, wide stock being scarce, fealty in the good siding grade, but there is evidently ‘sufficient stocks to come out of manufacturers’ hands in the narrow sizes to keep market at a level. In B, C. fir the market continues to have a downward tendency as there appears to be plenty of stocks “in transit” in all lines to supply “both immediate and future needs. In dimension sizes stocks are ites somewhat pressed on the market from outside ports like New York and Portland, at as low as $52 per M. ft. f.o.b. Cars Montreal, for No. 1 common, 18/38 ft. 12 in. x 12 in. and so on. ] In hardwoods birch is an easy leader and prices in the upper _ grades are rather spectacular, as when one hears of such figures as * $67. 50 for lin. $72.50 for 1% in. and 1% in, $75 for 2 in., No, 2:com- mon and better, and $110 for F.A.S. Other hardwoods keep steady. * 7. & Turning to ‘the financial side of the market, there is a very natur- _al trend at this period of the year to go carefully, both on the part of buyers and sellers, which somewhat restricts operations. Many buy- ers are asking for 90 days on purchases whilst sellers, on the other - hand, feel this is much too long a period to give, so that it will result in considerable business being laid over until the new year. As soon as the holidays are over there is every indication that brisk business _will be resumed. The exceptionally mild weather has already helped ; the lumber and kindred lines very largely and the general feeling is a that there will ‘be no let up in trading immediately after the Yule- 3 " — x ) 4 ; eas 1s rr Td gto ee ad - a tide period. Even the political turmoil in the Old Country has been Tost i in the busy Bar osenere obtaining here. Halifax Says Sication Remains Unchanged ; There has been very little change in the lumber situation, in the nt _ Maritime provinces, during the past month. Owing to the ‘decline “ * in Sterling Exchange, prices which otherwise might be attractive for shipment to the United Kingdom are unprofitable. So far as exist- ing stocks are concerned, this is not a serious situation, but it has a ¥ very important bearing on the production for the coming year. While a large number of camps are in the bush, as many operators have the firm conviction that conditions are bound to improve at the begin- wing of the year, there are several who are not so optimistic and are ee waiting for some sign of improvement before going ahead with any new undertakings. It seems to be the general opinion, that after the elections in _ Great Britain, conditions will become stabilized and it will be easier ot forecast whether returns for shipments for the coming season will be sufficient to justify operations on the usual scale. At the Present time, even at the prices obtainable, the demand for spruce is slack and, in addition to this, the shippers on the other side advise restrict- seed exports, owing to the condition of the market. E ‘« There is little call for hardwood of good manufacture, but even _ the price for very attractive specifications is disappointing, based on he present rate of exchange. The facilities for shipment from the port of Halifax, for the com- Winter, promise to be unusually good. Several new lines ot amers are making Halifax a port of call and with the established es, there is likely to be keen competition for business among the different steamship companies. s Prices for spruce, on the American market, have been fairly d, ae the pest month, have not fiuctuated more than a have proved to be almost unobtainable. That there is an absolute scarcity of merchantable stock is now fully realized, but the antici- pated rise in price has not materialized as yet. The general opinion is that there will not be much buying by American firms until after the end of the year and indications seem to be that prices then will be firm and the demand considerably better. The prices of lath has taken a drop recently and, with the pros- pects of round wood laths being produced in fair quantities during the winter, the chances are that the prices will be maintained at the lower level-for sometime. This will depend, however, largely on the amount of building under construction in the Unittd States. The labor situation is much easier than it was earlier in the Fall, owing to the fact that much anticipated logging has been held up. Wocdsmen are plentiful and while wages have not yet gone down, Ne the chances are that after the Christmas season, a lower rate will be — in effect. ; Quebec Exporters Look For Business Increase During the month of November 911,016 feet, b.m., of wood was ~ shipped to the United Kingdom from the port of Quebec. This includes 83,982 feet b.m.., spoolw ood, 373,230 feet, b.m., lumber, and 452,804 feet, b.m., timber, making a total of 12,575, 100 feet, b.m. wood shipped from the port from the beginning of the season of navigation to November 30th. The most important shippers were W. & J.Sharples Co., John Burstall Co. and the Louise Lumber Co. Though satisfactory, this amount of shipments is not up to spring expectations which, however, can be accounted for by reason of the English dockers’ strike. not enumerated in this trade letter. Quebec firms are looking forward to an increase of business — In the meantime, expert reports — from the United Kingdom in 1924. received from agents in the United Kingdom, representing Quebec firms, are not quite as encouraging as were expected at this period - of the season. Of course, this is due in a large measure to the continued unsettled conditions in the European situation and the rates of exchange, as well as the interest centred in the British gen- ~ eral elections. Nevertheless the reports are not by any means pessi- mistic and go to show that the timber and sawn lumber trade is holding its own. The Quebec agents point out in their latest reports that for some | three weeks there was very little speculative trade done to prove ~ that a change had come over the market and to make apparent a certain amount of nervousness by the fact that values had weak- ened to some extent in certain classes. In the meantime, lumber dealers in England are carrying heavy stocks, and if the spot market! is quiet, it is due to lack of confidence. Traditional buyi ing which was in vogue prior to 1914, has been upset since the world war. consequence there is no regularity in the manner of purchase. Each different county with which British importing firms have had large dealings, have their own especial problems in requirements and prices that could be afforded without competition among nations. They are now to a large degree isolated on account of the fluctuat- ing in exchange. This, together with the violent spirit of National- ism engendered by the w ar, and the numerous custom barriers set up between nations, have interfered with trade coursing through national channels. Thus the British timber trade is nonplussed for guidance in conformity with past experience and cannot mea- | sure that developments will follow on lines for safe judgment. The market is no longer steady. It is fluctuating violently, and on what basis contracts should be made for next season is uncer- tain. The November reports emphasize a noticeable decrease in free-on-board business with stock lists becoming less favorable and contracts fewer, with British shippers forced to conclude to winter over their balances, and there is not much chance of sweeping chances which were made last year. In the meantime the consumption of wood in Great Britain still continues favorably. Reports of business in nearly all parts of the country are fairly satisfactory. Merchants have for some time past, given up the idea of a boom and*are now confining their expectations to a gradual improvement in trade; consequently they have no reason to be disappointed with present conditions. Sceptism, which reigned in the minds of many English importers of a permanent vitality in the house-building industry, have had their doubts It might be added that the majority of © Quebec firms ship large quantities of sawn lumber from the ports ~ of Quebec and Three Rivers and ports east of eee which are © Invg eos bored goes gal aa{ byA ly U 3He byiycyirty) beeloule pas aS Sagas gee ae ysyvysy 0 Ve4yee ae ers D = Pra lP+4 —— vallvairel rellvelivelenion DH PRI| rey) p22) esi) bowl ty yeeros? ao sleedeel vallvelee we pei!

There is little doubt about a steady trade for years to come while other lines of indus- ltrial activities using wood are expanding and, if the railway com- panies’ plans are fully carried out, there ought to be a good con- ‘sumption of sawn lumber for the usual railway requirements. | Conditions in Scotland give evidence of improvement but as far as actual dealing is concerned, business cannot be said to be brisk. ‘he general tone of the market, however, continues somewhat improved and fair steady trading can be anticipated until the end of | the present year but no pronounced improvement can be looked for | until after the new year. The Government schemes for the pro- vision of work and the better outlook for shipbuilding, combined wih the expanding of building, is destined to the recovery of the timber trade. ~The Irish situation is recovering. The latest report from Bel- fast says that business in the timber trade continues fairly well with moderate demand and keen competition for orders, the result being that in certain quarters there is a slight tendency to cut prices in order to acquire business. From the Dublin agents it is learned that trade continues satisfactory. The settlement of the dockers’ strike and transport workers’ dispute has caused a resumption of | work of those employees on the terms of President Cosgrave in the first week of November which implies a reduction of a shilling per day in wages and the proposal.to grant a court of inquiry. Although the outlook, to say the least, is not propitious, a com- prehensive study of the confidential reports received in Quebec by the Quebec lumber business interests, does not give cause for serious apprehension of the future. The European horizon may look dark on account of the political mix-up, the apparent bankrupt aspect of Germany and the evasion of one nation to meet its war obligations, etc. ‘The British economist with his telescopic observation and ear ‘continually to the ground has not lost hope in the chances for a settlement for the amelioration of the existing tragic conditions. In keeping with this sentiment the business interests of Great Britain are proverbially optimistic, which not only accounts for England’s unique condition in comparison with other European nations, put for the improvement in trade and commerce of the nation during the past several months. The political contest in Great Britain has to some extent for the questions at issue but just as soon as it is over, it is generally felt that a determined move will be made by the Government in office to end the political conditions that have brought on such lamentable choas not only to upset the commercial relations of the world but have and still threaten the peace of the world. : The well-informed expert economists of England have come to realize that if the European situation is not soon cleared up, British public opinion will force upon the Government the thought of a new system of fiscal policy dealing entirely with the interchange of trade within the confines of the vast dominions of the Empire. These dominions are no longer infants with need of help from the mother- land. They are now not only full fledged in manhood but rich in national wealth and with abundant resources. There is every reason _to presume that, when the British prime minister decided to appeal to the British electoral public for a mandate to change England’s fiscal policy, he had in mind a measure of -protection, not only to keep out cheap German and other foreign goods, which threaten the existence of England’s industry. He had in view an independent Empire with resources that would have it grow powerful within its ewn house apart from and independent of all other European nations politics. ; During the Empire Conference held in London, a cablegram _ was sent by the Quebec Lumber Exporters’ Association to the Cana- dian prime minister in attendance, urging upon him to safeguard ‘the interests of the Canadian lumber trade at the conference. Rt. Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King, in acknowledging the receipt of the cablegram, promised to give the representations made to him due attention. It is not known whether or not the Canadian Prime Minister brought the question before the conference, inasmuch as _ by the Quebec Lumber Exporters’ Association. It may be, however, that the question was discussed and left in abeyance until after the eneral British election. | BSS The Quebec Lumber Exporters’ Association is prepared to take up this question with the British Government through the medium of the Canadian government in the event of the British government, in office, being re-elected by the British people. But as this is estion, which affects the entire Canadian lumber trade, the Que- porters’ Association will need the co-operation of the whole n industry and its associations from the Atlantic to the isha neagh artes) Fs ‘the early months of 1924.

A recent notice in the Ontario Gazette states that the charter | the Rainy River Lumber Co., Limited, has been surrendered. — St. Ursule Lumber Co., Quebec, P.

Fire destroyed the sawmill operated in connection with the — construction work of the Newfoundland Power & Paper Co. at their ~ new town site at Corner Brook, Bay of Islands, Newfoundland. The Miramichi Lumber Co., of Chatham, N. B., recently closed — down operations for the season. J. W. Brankley, general-manager of the firm; stated that the company would cut between 15,000,000 — and 16,000,000 feet this winter. The premises of G. W. Murray, limited, show-case makers, woodturners and moulders, and general lumber dealers, Bertha St., Winnipeg, were destroyed by fire recently. The loss has been esti- mated at $45,000 and is fully covered by insurance. J. Booth, of Burlington, Vt., was in ‘Montreal recently on his annual trip to Quebec and the Provinces in connection with pur- chases for the coming season. Mr. Booth reported business very good and prospects bright, especially for this time of the year when most firms were busy on inventory work only. A new factory is contemplated by the Canada Wood Specialty Co., Limited, Orillia, Ont., at an approximate cost of $85,000. A by- law will be submitted to the ratepayers on January 1, to authorize a loan of $50,000 for twenty years. If it is approved the company will wreck the present buildings in preparation for the new plant. Judgment was rendered in the Recorder’s Court, Quebec, in the two other cases against the Chateau Lumber Company, in which the loads of wood. The Recorder sentenced the company to pay a fine | of $20 and costs on each of the charges. * During the year 1922 there were 3460 Orientals employed as sawmill workers in the province of B.

T. D. Pattullo, Minister of Lands, stated recently that : plans are now complete for the exhibit of British Columbia forest _ products at the British Empire exhibition to be held in London next _ year. This exhibit of B. C. forest products is a co-operative effort wit the lumber, shingle, sash and door, box and veneer manufac- turers of the province, and will show to the visitors who will come _ from all the corners of the British Empire exactly what results can _ be obtained by the use of B. C. forest products. The Miramichi Lumber Co., of Chatham and Newcastle, N. B., _ recently issued orders prohibiting hunters from trespassing on their - jumber yards in the parish of Stanley without a permit. In previous years parties of amateur hunters from outside points have roamed over the company’s lands shooting at everything in sight and occupy- _ ing the vacant camps. It was with the object of putting a stop to ' this sort of practice and protecting teamsters from stray bullets, that _ the company issued the prohibitory order. Douglas A. Stalker, wholesale lumber dealer, of Sherbrooke, Que., states that business with him has been good during the past - season and that he has bought, sold and practically shipped out this - year 10,000,000 feet of lumber, hardwood and softwood, 15,000,000 ' pieces of lath, and 2,000 cords of pulpwood. Mr. Stalker is carrying in stock about a million feet of hardwood and half a million feet of spruce and is of the opinion that prospects for next season are very promising. Hon. H. J. Cody, Toronto, who recently took a trip to the ex- . treme north in company with Premier Ferguson and Lieut. Gov. Cockshutt, was greatly impressed with the timber resources of that country and in a recent statement said there were vast but not limit- less timber resources and pulpwood supplies. The aim of the Goy- ernment would be to use greater care to protect this timber from the ravages of fire and so to conserve the forests that a steady harvest of trees would be reaped year after year. An extra provincial license was recently granted to the Centrai Paper Co., of Muskegon, Mich., to manufacture and deal in paper and _ pulp in Ontario. The Central Paper Co. is an incorporation under _ the laws of Michigan and is empowered to invest in its operations in Ontario any sum up to $1,000,000. The company recently acquired valuable timber holdings in Northern Ontario and may develop these ata later date but at present nothing definite is being done in that _ direction. It is understood the charter was obtained to facilitate a _ forward movement whenever the Central Paper Co. decide to go ahead with its development plan. A well-illustrated brochure on Belgo-Canadian Paper Co. has _ been prepared in French by Rene T. Leclerc, Inc. The booklet tells the history of the Belgo Company in brief and summarizes the _ yaried career of Hubert Biermans, the vice-president and general _ manager. Of interest is a discussion of the value to the country of exporting finished paper rather than raw material. It is estimated _ that if the 1,011,331 cords of pulpwood exported last year had been manufactured into paper in Canada, they would have brought $45,- 195,400 to the country instead of but $9,000,000, which was the approximate sum received by Canada for the exports. The Abernethy-Lougheed Logging Company, Maple Ridge, B.C., will send a section of a fir log, 9 feet 6 inches in diameter, to the Brtish Empire Exhibition in London. The huge tree which pro- _ vided the log, from which the section was sawn, was found in the company’s timber limit “W” in the northern part of the municipal- _ ity, a few miles from Haney. The company were desirous of send- _ ing the whole log to give an ocular demonstraton to the Old Country _ folks of what British Columbia. can do in the way of lumber, but the _ Dominion timber authorities pleaded lack of space. The specimen can be seen at the company’s booming grounds on the Fraser, one _ mile east of Haney, B. C. * a ae... (eee J. B. Mackenzie, of Georgetown, Ont., who is one of the live _ wires in the retail lumber business in Ontario, believes in getting _ after seasonable trade at the proper period. He has been carrying an advertisement in the various papers setting forth the necessity for and comfort of storm sash and storm doors during the coming _ cold days, and telling what an economical move it is on the part of _ the householder to have these conveniences installed, saving coal -and adding to the coziness of his home. Mr. Mackenzie put a small cad. in one of the papers outside of his own town, which resulted in _ sO many inquiries being received, that he had to discontinue the _ ad. until his factory got in better shape to give prompt service. Then it was inserted a few days later and several more orders received. Mr. Mackenzie reports that he has had a good yeat’s Ss. He is always on the lookout for something original in ig and this season is sending out at the Yuletide period a 1ermometer with his name upon it. . .

The numerous repeat orders placed by satisfied “Caterpillar’* users in the northern woods as in lumbering regions all over the world, are the strongest possible proof of the practical value of the “Caterpillar’ as compared with any other mthod. Winter work is always emergency in character; short logging seasons demand continuous operation and maximum output. The “Cater- pillar” has established convincing records for dependable performance on the operations of many of the largest lumber and pulpwood manufacturers, as well as on the operations of contractors and loggers of smaller tracts. : The Anglo-Newfoundland Development Company says: “Last winter our two “Caterpillars,” operating an average of 11014 days each, hauled 10,984 cords of green pulpwood over ordinary snow roads, We are convinced that “Caterpillars” provide great economy in this country and are reducing our hauling costs approximately 50%. For their 1923-24 operations, the Anglo-Newfoundland Development Company have purchased six additional “Caterpillars.” ; The Mt. Murray Woodlands Corporation, St. Fidele, Quebec after highly successful “Caterpillar” operations last winter, including comparative tests with other methods and machines, have adopted “Caterpillar” Tractors exclusively and purchased an additional fleet of four loggers for this winters work. The Abitibi Power and Paper Company, Iroquois Falls, Ontario, had highly satisfactory results last winter, reporting a reducton of 50% over their previous hauling costs. We can give you convincing facts and figures about “Caterpillar” operations in Canada. We are prepared to make immediate delivery of Northern “Cater- pillar’ Loggers which contain many new and important improvements. *There is but one ‘‘Caterpillar’’—Holt builds it CANADIAN HOLT COMPANY, Limited 468 Lagauchetiere St., W.
