THE LATE WILLIAM MACKEY.

In the death of Mr. William Mackey, the
lumbering industry of the Ottawa district, and
by that is meant the district drained by the
Ottawa river, loses a figure that has been
prominent in it for over halt a century. Less
than a year ago deceased withdrew from
active operations, when he disposed of his
limits by public auction to Mr. J. R. Booth for
the substantial sum of $655,000. Mr. Mackey’s
death will be sincerely mourned by
thousands with whom he came in
contact, for he was one of that
for

better his residence therein.

integrity and intelligence, with just |

tion, formed a perfect blend. Though
dead he liveth, for his name will
ever be coupled with all that is
honest and upright.

In the year 1842 a raw Irish
Jad—one of a family—landed in
Bytown. Sawdust filled the air, so

mined to turn his attention to lum-

to overcome the natural difficulty
to the movement of timber offered
hy the Chaudiere falls were then
being put into execution, and Mr.
Mackey secured employment in the
construction of the first govern-
ment slide. His employer was
Mr. George Buchanan, who had the
contract also for the construction of
the slides at the Chat’s Rapids on
the river above Ottawa. There

with his brother. The latter and
Buchanan were afterwards
drowned at different times, but
while engaged in the same task,
removing a timber blockade in the river.

The Mackey Brothers secondly secured em-
ployment in improvement work on the Upper
Ottawa under Hon. James Skead. About the

_ year 1845 the latter branched forth into lum-

bering operations, retaining the services of the

Mackeys. The subject of this sketch soon
secured a position as foreman, and in less than
five years he made an independent move. In
1850 his first raft of red pine was floated down
the Madawaska limits,
through the slides which he himself a few
years previous had helped to construct.

_ Shortly after this Mr. Mackey married and
settled on a farm near Arnprior. About this
time he also formed a partnership with the
late Neil Robertson. For over 20 years _har-
monious and profitable business relations were

continued, only to be dissolved by the death
of Mr. Robertson.

Mr. Mackey’s early operations were con-
ducted on limits in the Madawaska country.
He was an active figure in the lumber busi-
ness in the heyday of the square timber trade.
That was before the time of the extensive
railway system in Canada and before the dis-
placement of timber by steel in shipbuilding
and other industries in Great Britain. Then
it was found much more profitable to manu-

rafts passed down through the slides, the
name-marks including those of Mackey,Skead,
Conroy, Gilmour, Currier, Poupore, Fraser,
Aumond, Perley and Hurdman. Although
Mr. Mackey engaged extensively for years in
the production of square timber on his limits
on the Madawaska and Anable du Ford, it
must not be thought that he neglected the

the latter river he erected a saw mill at which
he yearly manufactured stocks of board lum-
ber. He was a shrewd and successful man,
and hjs early training stood him well in after
years. As this brief sketch shows, he arrived
on the scene when the Ottawa lumber industry
offered its greatest reward to the man who
had the mental calibre. Mr. Mackey possess-
ed that calibre, and with confidence in his own
ability and the lumber industry as his safe
capital, he turned his head and mind towards
the trackless forests, leaving to
others the attractions of town and
city.

is said that many years ago he
purchased for a few thousand dol-
lars a limit on the Anable du Ford
river. That was the ruling price,
but the far-seeing purchaser was
not dismayed, as was his partner,
when business depression brought
a decline in the value of standing
and manufactured timber. The
partner asked to be relieved of his
obligation, and granting him a re-
fund of his money, Mr. Mackey
secured entire control of the limit.

he took valuable rafts of timber off
the despised limit. It was included
in the territory secured by Mr.
Booth last February, the particular
price paid for it being $65,co00.

Mr. Mackey was content with
the wealth he amassed in the lum-
ber business, and therein he was

operators, who, hoping to increase
their gains by outside investments,

It is saig
that Mr. Mackey once lost $15,000 in a mort-
gage investment, and there and then vowed
to let well enough alone, and thereafter re-
frained from entrusting his wealth to other
.than the timber limit and the bank.

He was a public spirited citizen and a
philanthropist. Time and time again has chari-
table work in Ottawa. received an impetus
from his purse. He was a devoted Catholic.
On March 17th last, the natal day of his
native country, a beautiful altar was blessed
in St. Patrick’s church, Ottawa. The cost,
over $5,000, was defrayed by Mr. Mackey.
Thus in his parish church stands a monument
to his generosity and Christianity.

Mr. Mackey was married in the early fifties
to a diughter of a prominent resident of By-
town, Mr. Peter Armstrong. She predeceased

grown up family of four sons three
daughters. Those resident in Ottawa are
Mrs. St. Denis Le Moyne, Mrs. D’Arcy Mc-
Mahon and Mr. Walter Mackey.

Probate of Mr. has been
applied for. The value placed on the estate is
$1,197,094, of which $1,060,395 is in personal
property and $136,699 in real estate. To his
bookkeeper, Mr. D. R. Mackenzie, he left the

OHIO’S LUMBER INDUSTRY. «
[By OUR TRAVELLING REPRESENTATIVE. ]
In common with the general prosperity of the entire
lumber trade, the state of Ohio is experiencing quite a

boom in this industry. Owing to their situation on

THE ‘‘Linpsay’’ UNLOADING CANADIAN , LUMBER
AT CLEVELAND.

Lake Erie and splendid water facilities with Canada,
Cleveland and Toledo easily outstrip all the other
combined cities inthe state. A large number of the
retail and wholesale dealers in the state are about to
enter the Canadian market for the first time.

Asa general rule lumbermen are very hospitable,
and in the travels of our representative over this state
he met with much courtesy—incivility and curtness
being rarely met with.

The Robt. H. Jenks Lumber Company, of Cleveland,
are one of the largest dealers in yellow pine in the
United States. They manufacture this article, having
two mills in the south and making large shipments
direct from their mills. They handle annually over
125 million feet. They ship lumber into Canada,
making a specialty of large bills. Canadians visiting
Cleveland are welcome at their head offices, 176 Euclid
Avenue.

The opinion at Cincinnati is that the southern pine
can be handled at that point much better and cheaper
than “‘Johnny Canuck’s” article, although there is
nothing to equal the latter. Some of the southern
pine, when dry, seems more like hardwood than soft
wood. Among large dealers in Cincinnati are the
Nicola Bros. and the R. E. Becker Company. The
Jatter makes a specialty of hardwoods, both United
States and Canada, and promise to be extensive
operators on this side of the line.

One of the largest firms in Cleveland is the Owen T.
Jenks Company. Their large offices on Superior
Street show a very busy staff, and they are now coming
into Canada, where eventually all the ‘‘ good”’ lumber-
men will go when they want good lumber. Our readers
are referred to the advertisement of the Owen T.
Jenks Company in this issue. They offer to buy the
season’s cut of any mill for spot cash. Their large
yards on Merwin street are in charge of Mr. Charles
M. Huey, a practical lumberman of large experience in
this line. The yards are kept in splendid condition and
show an enormous stock always on hand ready for
immediate delivery.

The Advance Lumber Company, of 559 Rose Build-
_ing, Cincinnati, isa very large concern, employing an
immense staff. They also have an advertisement in
this issye, which all lumbermen shauld read.

At Dayton there are two firms who’ are interested inl
Canada lumber, Gebhart & Co. (well-known to the’
Michigan lumber trade), and W. A. Drake, both ex.
tensive dealers and wholesalers. iW

C. G. & H. H. McLaughlin, at Columbus, as well as
P.W. Snyder, are interested in Canadian lumber. The
former are now advertising for Canadian pine, to be
delivered at Erie, Pa. Inthe lively city of Akron, the
Lyman-Allen Lumber Company and U. G. Frederick
are all doing a thriving busines both in southern and
Canadian pine. D. £. Holwick seems to be the lead-
ing dealer in lumber at Canton (the late President
McKinley’s home.) He is certainly doing a rushing
business.

‘¢ What !—a lumber paper for a dollar a year ? We'll
take it!” greeted me at nearly all the offices. Many
promised to look into the advertising proposition. If
they advertise they are certain of good results.

The value of advertising in the CANADA LUMBERMAN
for what they want to buy, or what they have to sell,
is beginning to be recognized by the lumbermen across
the border, and the fact is a plain truth that they can
reach in this way hundreds of dealers and wholesalers,
as well as retailers or mill men that would never other-
wise know ot their existence, no matter how large or
how prominent they may be in the United States.
Some firms say ‘‘ We never advertise !'” but that does
not say or prove it is best not to do so or that it is best
policy to let those who do reap all the ‘‘cream” or ben-
efit of the immense lumber resources of the country.

The ‘‘young Napoleon” of the lumber industry, Mr.
Edward Hines, believes in advertising, as all progress-
ive Americans do. His half page advertisement in this
issue testifies to his business acumen and success,

Mr. R. H. JENKs,

President Robert H. Jenks Lumber Company and a
Prominent Cleveland Lumberman.

backed and aided as he is by Mr. Wiehe and an enor-
mous staff of able assistants.

Like the Hines concern at Chicago, the Cleveland
Box Company can boast of its own buffet, where their
employees are fed on the best the market affords, in-
stead of being forced to go distances for an indifferent
meal or to the low groggeries and dives which haunt
the great industrial centres.

When you are in Cleveland, be sure and take a ‘“‘trol-
ley” to Painesville. There you will find the Coe Man-
ufacturing Company's plant. They are the largest
makers in the world of veneer cutting and drying
machinery. Their half-page announcement in this
issue speaks louder than words of the push and busi-
ness energy displayed by this company.

Cleveland has always been a great lumber centre.
The Cuyahoga river here runs into Lake Erie, winding
snake-like through the very heart of the city, witha
maze of docks, levees and piling grounds. Here are
situated great piles of lumber owned by some of the
different companies mentioned in this article, among
which also are the Saginaw Bay Company (the head
of which, Mr. Prescott, is well known in Canada); Col-
onial Lumber Company; The Nicola Bros. Company;
Nicola, Stone, Meyers Company; Fisher & Wilson;
Lake Shore Saw Mill & Lumber Company; C. H. Foote;
Howard A. Singletary; Mills, Grey, Carleton Company;
The Cuyahoga Lumber Company; C. H, Gill Lumber

Company; Martin-Barriss Company; Potter, Teare &

Company; M. G. Brown Lumber Company; and the
Guy & Ralph Gray Company.

Besides the large lumber concerns Cleveland possess-
es a number of box factories. Very prominent among
these are the Cleveland Box Company and the Amer-
ican Box Company, who are both very progressive and
up-to-date. The Cleveland Co.’s advertisement in this
issue offering to buy for spot cash twenty million feet
of No. 4 and 5 grade lumber will show more than any-
thing else the size of this company’s enormous output.
They have their own vessels on the lakes, and we have
pleasure in presenting to our readers an illustration of
the steamer ‘‘Lindsay” owned by the Cleveland Box
Company,showing her discharging a cargo of over one
million feet of Canadian pine lumber at the docks on
Stone’s Levee, which is the lumber district.

There is aclub-room and cafe on the levee run by
the Cleveland Board of Lumbermen as headquarters.
Here they meet in the noon-hour and talk over prices |
and lumber prosperity generally.

The Cleveland-Sarnia Saw Mills Company have an —
office at Cleveland in the ‘‘Plaindea'er’”’ building, their =
extensive mills being situated at Sarnia, Ont. They
distribute immense quantities of Canadian pine through-
out the United States, sending it far south, where
nothing can replace the lightest of pines.

At Sandusky I found that the Sandusky Crayon
Company were thinking of getting their box material ;
from Canada. I could not catch*the American Crayon a
Company's officers, but heard they used considerable
lumber also. The former company have a fine plant
on Water street. The Geo. R. Butler Company, of
this place, make a specialty of hardwoods, and do
quite a business in office and interior fixtures. The f
Sandusky Lumber & Box Company, Bennett Bros.
Lumber Company, and Gilcher & Schuck do a big
business, all handling considerable quantities of the
Canadian material. .

Chicago ranks first as the greatest railroad center on
this continent, but Toledo comes a close second, Fhe
situation of the latter on Lake Erie, and the excellent
docking and railway facilities, gives it a great advan-
tage as a distributing point to all the middle eastern
states. Among Toledo’s biggest wholesalers, the Rib
River Lumber Company, of which Mr. D. D. Flanner is
pres'dent, do an immense business, having branches at
Pittsburg, Pa., and Rhinelander, Wis., with main
offices and extensive piling grounds at Toledo. This
company’s advertisement will be found in our weekly
edition. They are prepared to buy the season's cut of
any mill of pine lumber or white pine lath.

The* Booth-Feilbach Column Company, which was _

columns and capitals, are talking of entering the Cana-
dian and foreign field. ‘They are large users of Inmber.
The field in Canada is now open to wide-awake, ener-
getic firms who can seize the golden opportunity.

The other Toledo firms who seem to be thriving are
the Alvin Peter Company, Mitchell & Rowland, Kelsey

Company. A couple of other firms inthis city are
talking of disbanding,

‘THE CAN

AD

‘MICH IGAN’S LUMBER INDUSTRY.

[By OuR TRAVELLING REPRESENTATIVE. ]

At one time the Saginaw valley held undisputed ©

sway to the bulk of the lumber trade. Now the lum-
ber industry (which is a different thing from the timber
industry) is ‘‘all over the state,’ as a retail dealer
told me.

After a journey to Chicago to interview the Hines
concern and several other companies, I came back to
Durand, Mich. Durand owes its existence in the
center of the state to the fact that it is an important
railroad center and the junction of three or four roads.
To me it looked like a lumber center, yet I found but
one firm of dealers: there, McBride & Son, who are
certainly doing a flourishing -business. After telling
Mr. McBride what I knew of Canadian lumber and

' what I didn’t know of ‘‘Hoo-Hoo,” we both came to

the same opinion, i. e., that there was nothing to equal
Canadian white pine.

From Durand I struck north to Saginaw, where I
met such well-known lumbermen as Messrs. John J.
Rupp, Lewis C. Slade, L. P. Mason, J. D. Draper and
others, all of whom are interested in Canadian lumber.
I visited every lumber firmin the city, among which
were the Saginaw Lumber & Salt Company, who have
extensive mills at Sandwich, Ont., the Morse Cedar
Company, Booth & Boyd Lumber Company, Saginaw
Mfg. Company, Briggs & Cooper Company, Limited,
and N. N. Wright & Company, “all of
whom are doing a thriving business.

Among the manufacturers of mill mach-3
inery and mill supplies, the Morley Bros.,
the Wickes Bros., and the Allington &°
Curtis Mfg. Company are pre-eminent
in their various lines, in fact, their goods
are known in every lumber mill or camp
on this continent.

From Saginaw to West Saginaw is only |
‘© over the river,” but I was not able to
catch many of the lumbermen at home.
At Governor Bliss’ office I learned that he
was confined to his home—having just
returned from Washington, where he had
met with an accident. Taking a trolley
I went down the fine main street of
West Saginaw to the sash, door and
blind factory 6f Thos. Jackson & Com-
pany. This concern is up-to-date and
caters extensively to the foreign trade,
using Canadian pine and getting the re-
bate on it Ly shipping it back through
Canada. Mr. Jackson is able to compete
for the world’s trade by improved
methods and improved machinery and
watching the market closely. While I
was there he figured on an order for
seven thousand dollars’ worth of doors,
etc., for Cape Town, South Africa.

The Mershon, Schuette, Parker & Company lumber
yards and mills are extensive. Mr. E. B. Mershon
very kindly showed me through the immense plant ot
this company. Everything here ismodern. The band
re-saw establishment of W. B. Mershon & Company is
really one of the most interesting things I saw in my
travels. They are shipping their band saws to all
parts of the world.

‘On the east side of the river Mr. Huss, at all times a
very busy man, gave upa couple of hours to show me
over the Lufkin Rule Company’s establishment. This
is the largest manufactory of rules, tapes, measures,
etc., in the world.

I had a very interesting talk while in Saginaw with
a Mr. O'Donnell, an old-time lumberman. He re-
called with a sigh the good old days when the whole
country for hundreds of miles around was a forest—
now all cut down. He said that even ten years ago
the hum of the saw-mill was heard all over the land—
now there is not a large pine tree in sight. As the old
gentleman very clearly explained to me what the city
was like, I imagined myself once again on the upper
Ottawa—and in my mind’s eye I pictured’ the lumber
camp, the log rolling, the drive, the immense rafts of
logs and the ceaseless stream of timber going in one
end of the mill to reappear as lumber at the other end.
While I was at Saginaw, the Saginaw Valley Lumber-
men’s Association held a meeting at their club rooms,
where freight rates and lumber values were discussed,

probably with as much spirit as in days of yore.

A pleasant journey on the Pere Marquette Railway
brought me to Bay City. Here there is one-large
manufactory of high-grade saw-mill and conveying ma-
chinery, the M. Garland Company. E. B. Foss &
Company are the largest wholesalers of white pine and
Norway lumber. Their extensive yards contain all
grades of lumber. Among the other firms I saw were

the Maltby Lumber Company, Campbell-Brown Lum- ©

ber Company, J. & G. K. Wentworth, J. W. Thompson
& Company, Eddy Bros. & Company, the E. J. Vance
Box Company, and Messrs. Geo. D. Jackson, J. W.
Ritchie, John Godkin, Henry B. Smith, J. E. Prohaska
and Stephen Alyea, all of whom seemed to be prosper-
ous and thriving. I had a talk with Mr. Wm. H.
Sharp, who is one of the largest tug and bargue owners
on the bay. He does a splendid business connected
with.the shipment of lumber and timber.

At West Bay City I found the Wolverine Lumber
Company fully equipped for business, with a pushing
energetic manager. I was pleased to see among the
office staff of this company, as also in the office of Mr.
J.W. Ritchie at Bay City, several Canadians who were
evidently appreciated. From Bay City I went to Grand
Rapids, where exist the greatest manufactories of
furniture in the world; of course, this fact means that
hardwoods are predominant. The Dennis Bros. have
their main office here, with mills at Tonawanda, N. Y.

Mrs. McrrEvY—ANn AMERICAN LUMBERWOMAN.

W. 0.” Hughart, jr., buys basswood, ash and birch
lumber from Canada. M.E. Stockwell and H.G. Dyk-
house are doing a good business. On my list to call
upon was the firm name of Morley & Son, situated in
elegant offices in the Michigan Trust Building, (Grand
Rapids’ largest skyscraper.) I tapped softly on the
door. In answer to ‘come in,” given in a feminine
voice, I found myself in the presence of a pleasant lady.
“Could I see the proprietor or manager?” ‘Yes,
please be seated, I am the person you wish to see!’ was
the reply.

Now, I was not at all surprised to see or meet with
an up-to-date American business woman, but to meet
with the first lumberwoman I had ever seen or heard
of was just a little embarassing. However, I was soon
set at ease by the lady in question, Mrs. C. S. Morley,
explaining to me just why she was a lumber dealer.
‘“ Don’t think I came into this business because I pre-
ferred it—but I was forced into it, and after I had been
at it a little time I saw I could make a success of it,”
she said. ‘‘My father and my brother, before they
died, were both lumbermen and it came to me quite
naturally. I went into it unwillingly at first, but
mastered the details.” Then Mrs. Morley told me
more in fifteen minutes about lumber than any lumber-
man had in an hour. She is the United States manag-
eress of the Arthur Rushforth concern of Liverpool,
Eng., who handle more mahogany than any other firm
jn the world. Mrs, Morley told me of her trip to Liver-

sale I attended in Liverpool,” she said, “some of the
African logs sold for 96 cents per foot, inch measure,
I made successful bids and secured some good mahog-
any, being treated by the Englishmen with the greatest
courtesy,”

Mrs. Morley spent three months in England and on
the Continent. While in Germany she concluded ar-
rangements to purchase all the soft wood in this coun-
try that is required by one of the largest manufacturers
in Germany. Mrs. Morley has lived in Grand Rapids
since she was a child. Her father, the late I. L. Quim-
by, established a saw mill and handle factory in that
city, and she did clerical work in her father’s office.
This factory was one of the few that was kept running
during the panic of 1893, only to become closed by
litigation in 1900. Mrs. Morley then turned her atten-
tion to the lumber commission business and since that
time she has been a familiar figure in the furniture fac-
tories and throughout Michigan. Mrs. Morley cut 32,-
773 feet of mahogany in one day of twelve hours at
Grand Rapids, thus establishing a record.

Through the kindness of Mrs. Morley I was able to
obtain an excellent likeness of herself as well as of a
couple of car loads of mahogany logs she had just re-
ceived. In the picture we herewith print Mrs. Morley
will be noticed seated in her buggy. I
can vouch that the corner viquette does
not flatter this shrewd business woman.

Some lumbermen require considerable
talk in order to induce them to advertise
or subscribe. Not so with Mrs. Morley.
Before I mentioned one word of the real

was out for ‘‘business’” and thus saved

;me a lot of talk. When Mrs. Morley
came back from St. Louis she had orders
for five car loads of mahogany. She
knows what canvassing is, and she
makes a successful bid for a large
amount of business. And right here I
want to thank Mrs. Morley’s son for
kindness shown to me. He is a splendid
fellow, and I feel sure will make his
mark in the lumber world.

Grand Rapids is the second largest
city in Michigan, and really a lively
place. Here was erected in 1834 the
first saw-mill built in Michigan. Then
the state was a forest wilderness full of
Indians. Here it was that the well-known
lumberman, Martin Ryerson, sr., married
a squaw of the Ottawa tribe and later
moved to Muskegon,making an immense
fortune in lumber and timber. His son
by a second wife has just given Grand
Rapids a library building costing a quarter of a

million dollars. The Grand River at one time was a

great log-running stream. That day is past and gone
never to return. Grand Rapids has nearly half a
hundred or more furniture factories which cut up a
great amount of hardwood in a year—some say over
sixty million feet per year. Basswood is practically
dead hereabouts, and they are turning to Canada
for it.

Up at Muskegon, on the shores of Lake Michigan,
I was told that this place once did more:ttade in the
lumber iudustry than either Saginaw or Bay City. By
the look of the deserted piling grounds it seemed
somewhat that way. The Rogers Iron Mfg. Company
are easily the largest manufacturers of saw-mill
machinery in this part of the state. They have a
splendialy equipped plant, which Mr. Rogers took
me through. He is avery progressive business man.

Among Muskegon’s lumbermen I visited the Thayer
Lumber Company, Munro & Brinan, Langeland Mfg.
Company, F. Alberts & Son, and Mann, Watson &
Company, who are the largest concerns. Several
smaller dealers complete the list in this once thriving

timber centre. On the way up to this city I passed
through miles upon miles of second growth, scrub oak
and scraggy little poplars about the girth of one’s
wrist. Every piece of merchantable timber has been
cut down. Some of the lumbermen are going to
Canada for their stock.

SHAVINGS EXHAUST SYSTEM.
By J.1,. NELSON, in “‘Packages.””

The proper way to construct the main suc-
tion pipe of a shavings exhausting system is to
reduce the area, or diameter, of it from the fan
outward, according to the area of the branches
that are given entrance into it.

Carry the fan inlet area back until the first
branch entrance is encountered, and then start
the reducing directly behind this first entrance,
and continue to reduce as long as there are
branch entrances to make.

Always try to have the area at any and every

part of your main pipe equal to the combined
areas of all the branch pipes that have entrance

greater (no less) than these combined branch
areas, and if you have your main constructed
‘in this manner, all else being right, there is little
fear but that your system as a whole will bea
success.

‘“‘But,” said afriend to whom I made the above
statements same time ago, ‘‘that is a bare state-
ment, and I want to know how you reason it
out, that it should be so. Why is it that an
exhauster system with a reducing main suction
pipe will, as you claim, be much more efficient

than a pipe that carries its full exhauster inlet.

area back through the full length of the
factory, so far as there are branch entrances
to be taken ?”

This, to me, seemed a very thoughtless ques-
tion to ask, and had the friend mentioned given
the subject a few moments’ serious thought, he
would, undoubtedly, have deduced more than
one very good and sufficient reason why it
should be so. Anybody, and almost without
preliminary thought, will grant that a river bed
must increase in holding capacity according to
the number of branch streams that flow into it,
in its course downward towards the sea, and
what is more natural and reasonable, outside
of various other reasons that will be mentioned
later on, than that a river of air, such as that
which is sucked through an exhauster system
in operation, should require increased area of
piping to accommodate the increased flow given
by the branch streams of air that join with the
main draft in its course towards the exhauster.

This seems so obviously correct that one
would wonder that anyone would be so thought-
less as to construct a main suction pipe of the
same diameter throughout its full length, and

yet I have seen this very thing done more than
once.

Not more than a three-hours’ run from where
I now sit, and in the very large planing mill of
one of the most extensive lumbering concerns
in this country, two 55-inch single exhausters
are installed, and both, to the great detriment
of their efficiency, are connected to piping con-
structed so that it carries its one diameter back
through that portion of the mill in’ which the
respective exhausters are doing duty. I have,
more than once, figured that either one of these
two fine 55-inch exhausters, with their inlet
diameter of 22-inches, and area of 280 inches,
should, under ordinary circumstances, be able
to easily accomplish all the exhausting to be
done in that factory, and I would guarantee
to put in a system of piping which, connected
to only one of the present fans, would do more
and better work than both exhausters are now
doing, handicapped, as they are, by their non-
sensical piping connection.

Not only no the main suction pipes connected
to these two struggling exhausters carry their
first diameters back over their full length, but,
actually, their initial area is hardly more than
half of what it should be, to be equal to that
of the exhauster’s inlet. In putting in these
systems, it was evidently decided by the man-
agement, or by the mechanical genius who had
charge of the construction, that galvanized iron
piping would prove too expensive a proposition,
and so the less costly wood was requisitioned
for the purpose. Of course, to build upa
round, drum-shaped, wooden pipe to 22 inches
of diameter shown by the exhauster inlet, was
out of the question, owing to the costliness of
such a construction, and so an ordinary square
box was decided upon.

Now an ordinary square box, if well con-
structed, and if properly constructed, does not,
by any means, make a bad makeshift fora
while. Foratime, itis probable that a wooden
pipe, properly constructed, will give just as
good and efficient service as a galvanized iron
pipe. The chief objections to the wooden pipe

solve the question by deciding to ‘‘square a
circle,” by fitting four segments of 11-inch
radius, with flat bases, into the fan inlet in the
manner shown at Fig.1, thus accommodating
the exhauster inlet to his wooden pipe.

This was done, and, asa result, the efficiency
of the exhausters was, right at the base of the
system, practically cut in two, even had the main
from there outward been properly constructed,
reducing according tothe branch entrances
taken. The area of the inlet provided by the
manufacturers of these exhausters was 380
square inches, but now these splendid 55-inch
machines which were, and are, quite capable
of handling the original volume of draft for
which the manufacturer had provided accom-
modation, were bridled to such an extent that
their available area of inlet was just equal to
that which is provided for a 40-inch exhauster,
having a 16-inch circular inlet of only 200
square inches area. In fact, two 4o-inch ex-
hausters, properly connected to this wooden
pipe, would have been just as efficient as the
two 55-inch exhausters could possibly be, con-
nected as they are, and I do not doubt that
two 35-inch fans, with only a 14-inch diameter
inlet, and suitably connected to a galvanized
iron main, properly constructed, would be just
as efficient in this mill, upon less than half the

_ power, as the two bridled, and badly handi-

capped, 55-inch machines.

iS more natural than that the genius should ©

My friend, before mentioned, asked me to

explain to him why, in the interests of absolute
efficiency, it is necessary to reduce the main

pipe as it retires from the exhauster, according.

to the area of the branch pipes that are given
entrance into it.

To do this effectively, I will introduce the
sketch given below, of a 22-inch diameter gal-
vanized iron pipe which carries a parallel area

wooden pipes above mentioned were to these
two 55-inch fans, thereis little wonder that
inefficiency is the result.

The entrance into these exhausters, as pro-
vided by the manufacturer, is, as has already
been noted, 22 inches in diameter, but this en-
trance is circular, and the genius of the mill
was here confronted with a very serious ques-
tion, viz., how to connect his square box main
up to the round inlet in the exhauster.

draft through it is, of course, toward the ex-

hauster, as indicated by the arrows.

Now here we have an exhauster with a 22-

inch inlet, to which is attached a galvanized

iron pipe of the same diameter throughout its
full lengih. This inlet and pipe have areas of
380 square inches and we have given entrance
into it one 10-inch branch of, say, 80 square
inches area, and six 8-inch branches, each of
50 square inches area, making, in all, a branch
inlet area equal to the main pipe and exhauster
inlet areas.

We will suppose the exhauster, or, rather,
the fan, is running at a speed of 1,000 revolu-
tions per minute, and that the speed of draft
through the branches and main is 150 feet per

The size of ex--

second, this being the proper speed to give the
branches the lifting power to lift the shavings
from the machines on the floor below.

Now it is evident that at A there is a certain
suction power, or pressure in the main pipe.
The volume of air passing through the main at
this point, A, is equal tothe volume of air
coming into it from all the branches combined.
This is quite evident. Between A and B there
is an 8-inch branch inlet, with 50 square inches
of draft of equal density tothe draft in the
main at A gain'ng entrance, and so it is evi-
dent that, although at the point B the same
area of draft is passing through the main as at
A, yet the volume of draft here is only equal to
the volume let into the main by the balance of
the branch draft behind B. At A, so to speak,
the volume is 380, while, owing to the reliet
offered by the first 8-inch branch, at B the
volume is reduced 50 degrees, making it 330.
As the point C, following the same line of

= argument, the volume of air has been relieved
co by the 10-inch entrance to the value of its area,
= _ which is equivalent to 80 degrees. Thus, at

C the volume of air is only 380 minus 50 minus
80 or 250, as compared with the 380 degrees at
A, and so on down the line, till we come to the
point G, where the volume, or density of the
draft is only 380 — 50-80-50-50-—50-50=
ye 50, as compared to the 380 degrees of density

far away from the fan) to that through the
branches in front of it, that is, 150 feet per

why manufacturers who contract for the in-

EXPORT OF BRITISH COLUMBIA SHINGLES.

With a view to ascertaining what proportion
of the British Columbia shingle product is ex-
ported to the United States, the Canapa Lum-
BERMAN communicated with some of the lead-
ing manufacturers, whose replies are given
below :

SPICER SHINGLE MiLL Company, LIMITED, Vancou-
ver : As to the quantity of shingles shipped from Brit-
ish Columbia to the United States, I can state that
after enquiring and looking into this matter, I find that
during the last two or three years about 10 to 15 per
cent. of the shingle ontput has gone to the United
States.

As to the relative cost ‘of labor, timber and mill sup-
plies between British Columbia and Washington, it
may be true that on account of some Japs 2nd Chinese
being employed here in the shingle mills, that the cost
of labor is probably a little less than in Washington.
It must be remembered, however, in this connection
that the Chinese and Japanese do not do so much work
as a white man, and so far as the latter are concerned,
we certainly pay as high wages here to white labor
and inexperienced mill men as they do in Washington.
Shingle bolts have always been at least 25 per cent.
lower in Washington than here, and shingle logs are
about the same. In regard to mill supplies, it isa
well known fact that the Washington mills have a
considerable advantage over us in this respect. I
should say that there is a difference of from t5 to 25
per cent.

The reason why the British Columbia mills sell the
few shingles in Washington which they do, is altogether
on account of the superior quality as compared to the
Washington article, the dealers inthe United States
being willing to pay about 25 cents a thousaad more
for our shingles than for the Washington product.

E. H. Heaps & Co., Cedar Cove: We are sure
that the proportion of the British Columbia shingle
product that is shipped to the United States is less than
one-third for the whole year, and at the present time
we do not think it would amount to one-fifth. We
might also say that the cost of labor and timber is
about the same in British Columbia as in Washington,
and that the reason why we are able to sell in the
American market is because our shingles are of a
superior grade, and many of the American buyers
prefer them even at an advance of 25 cents per
thousand.

HastTincs SHINGLE MANUFACTURING COMPANY,
Vancouver: We are satisfied that not one-sixth or
one-eighth of the shingle output is shipped into the
United States. We are satisfied that our Canadian
trade is gaining so much in Manitoba and the North-
West and requiring our product in the way of shingles
and lumber, that the present capacity would just about
supply our own market if we had it to ourselves, and
we would not require to ship into the United States.
It is an injustice to the Canadian manufacturers of
lumber and shingles that the Americans are allowed
our market free of duty, while we are handicapped by
a duty in the American market.

ROBERTSON & HacKeETT, Vancouver: We have not
up to the present time sent any shingles into the
United States. The timber may be cheaper here, but
the cost of labor is the same as in the State of
Washington.

BRUNETTE SAW Mitt Company, LimiTeED, New
Westminster : We are not in as good position as some
Vancouver makers to say. what proportion of the

British Columbia cut of shingles goes to the United
States. Our shingles are preferred in the States on
account of their better quality, greater care being
taken in their manufacture.

PaciFic Coast LUMBER COMPANY, Vancouver: With
respect to the statement made by the Mississippi Valley
Lumberman to the effect that two-thirds of the shingle
product of the British Columbia mills now goes across the
line into the United States. This statement is utterly
untrue, and the writer who penned it is evidently not a
worthy journalist. We do not know that this magnified
self-importance is likely to do any harm to the British
Columbia mills, we fancy they could all manage to live
without any trade at all from our friends to the south.

The facts as we know them are: Probably more
shingles have been shipped over the line this year than
last, they have been going at the rate of 60 million
shingles a year. The capacity of all the mills will
probably run about 600 million, so that instead of two-
thirds, one-tenth of the entire cut would be the very
outside Jimit of these shipments. ;

Further, what shingles are being shipped from here
in a way do not compete at all with the shingles made
in Washington, as the same class of shingles is not
made on both sides of the line. On our side upright
shingle machines alone are used. These machines are
comparatively slow-running and turn out a well-made
shingle; then our packing and sorting is more care-
fully done, so that our shingles, made from exactly the
same timber, are worth from 25 to 50 cents more per
thousand to the consumer than the Washington
product. Across the line the method of manufacture is
different, fast running horizontal machines are used,
big cuts and low cost of production is the aim, quality
and everything else is sacrificed to this, the resu‘t is
a very shabbily made article that will not command in
any market the same price as our shingles. Any —
manufacturer in Washington State will acknowledge
this. No matter what the Mississippi Valley Lumber-
man may say, we cannot begin to make shingles as
cheaply as our neighbors immediately to the south are
doing. We are now paying from $7 to $8 per thousand
feet for! cedar logs; they may have to pay on the
average about one dollar more, so that in the cost of
timber we might have an advantage of ten or 12 cents
per thousand, but this is mnch more than overbalanced
by the greater cost of manufacture in our case.

The only thing that makes the trade at all possible is
the fact that we produce a better finished article. If:
the Washington mills produced the same quality of
shingles as are produced here and could supply the
demand on their side of the fence, not a shingle would
be shipped from here. Any that are shipped go to’
such markets in the United States as demand a well
made article and are willing to pay a fair price.

NOVA SCOTIA LUMBER ASSOCIATION.

A large number of the leading lumbermen of Nova
Scotia met at Amherst on December 8th and decided to
organize an asSociation to be known as the Nova Scotia
Lumber Association. Officers were elected as follows:
President, Alfred Dickie, Stewiacke ; vice-president,
J. H. Livingston, Wentworth ; treasurer, Ray Kent,
Truro ; secretary, D. G. McDonald. The following,
with the above officers, compose the executive : Chas.
J. Willis and N. A. Rhodes, Amherst ; Henry Hunter,
Wentworth ; T.. G. McMullin, Truro, and J. D. Mce-
Gregor, Now Glasgow. A request has been sent to
H. J. Logan, M.P., to arrange a meeting of the Inter-
colonial Railway authorities to confer with the Execu-
tive at their next meeting in reference to freight rates

A curious freak of nature was discovered recently at
High Wycombe, Eng. A quantity of Canadian birch
timber arrived at one of the chair factories there, and
in the centre of one piece 3 in. in thickness there was
found a young birch tree 2% in. in dismeter, which had
escaped the saw. It had enjoyed an independent
growth, and itis supposed that years ago a seed fell into
hollow part of the old tree and developed into a sapling,
which forced its way up through the trunk of its parent.
The hollow was completly filled a distance of several
yards. We are told by Timber that this curiosity is to
be preserved. : ;

ADVERTISING RATES ON APPLICATION.

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN is published in the interests of the
lumber trade and allied industries throughout the Dominion,
being the only representative in Canada of this foremost branch
of the commerce of this country. It aims at giving full and
timely information on all subjects touching these interests,
discussing these topics editorially and inviting free discussion
by others.

Especial pains are taken to secure the latest and most trust”
worthy market quotations from various points throughout the
world, so as to afford to the trade in Canada information in
which it can rely in its operations.

Advertisers will receive careful attention and liberal treat-
ment We need not point out that for many the CANADA
LUMBERMAN, with its special class of readers, is not only an
exceptionally good medium for securing publicity, but isin
dispensa ble for those who would bring themselves before the
notice of that class. Special attention is directed to “WANTED”
and “For SALE” advertisements, which will be inserted in a
conspicuous position at the uniform price of 15 cents per line
for each insertion. Announcements of this character will be
subject to a discount of 25 per cent. if ordered for four succes-
sive issues or longer.

Subscribers will find the small amount they pay for the
CANADA LUMBERMAN quite insignificant as compared with its
value to them. There is not an individual in the trade, or
specially interested in it, who should not be on our list, thus
obtaining the present benefit and aiding and encouraging us to
render it even more complete.

THE TIMBER INDUSTRY IN 1902.

The timber and lumber industry, now classed
in Canada second only to agriculture, made
rapid strides during the past year. Complete
statistics ‘are not availatle, but the quarterly
statements of exports that have been compiled
show an increase of large proportions in the
volume of business. The condition of the
industry has been very healthy; manufacturers,
with scarcely an exception, have been enabled
to operate their mills to the maximum capa-
city and to dispose of their output at very
satisfactory prices. Every class of lumber,

from the highest grade of white pine to low
grade hemlock and cedar, has been in good
demand. |

The prosperous times inthe lumber business
have come coincident ‘with an inadequate
supply of labor. The industrial development
of Canada has proceeded so rapidly of late
years that the demand for labor has been
greater than the supply. Canada has not
alone suffered in this respect, however, as ina
lesser degree similar conditions have been
experienced in the United States.

Some kinds of lumber, mainly white pine
uppers, sold at record prices during the year.
The supply of the better grades of white pine
is gradually diminishing, and as there has not
yet been found a satisfactory substitute, it is

quite probable that prices may find a still.

higher level. What prices will rule through-
out the coming year cannot be foretold, but it
is a plain fact that notwithstanding the smaller
percentage of lumber now used in the construc-

tion of buildings, the consumption seems to be
gradually overtaking the production ; in other
words, at the present rate of consumption
the world’s supply of timber will sooner or later
become exhausted.

The position held by Canada in respect to
the timber supply is very forcibly stated by

Mr. J. C. Hawkshaw in his presidential |

address to the members of the Institution of
Civil Engineers of Great Britain. He points
out that in Europe there are only five countries
which export timber, and the amount exported
by these is nearly two and three-quarter
million tons short of the total amount required
in Europe. Germany, with 26 per cent. of its
area under forest, imports nearly half as much
as Great Britain, which has only 4 per cent. of
its area under forest. France, with 18 per
cent. under forest, imports one and one-quarter
million tons of timber annually. The timber
imported into Great Britain in 1901 was valued
at $125,000,000. As Europe cannot now supply
its own wants, and as New Zealand has
already exhausted its kauri pine forests,
Mr. Hawkshaw concludes that Canada is the
only country. from which Great Britian can
reasonably expect to secure a supply of
timber.

Some calculations by Mr. Hawkshaw as to
the consumption of timber by the railroads of
Great Britain are interesting. He estimates
that there are in use about 90,000,000 sleepers,
and that the annual consumption for renewals
iS 3,750,000, in addition to which much timber
is used by the railways for fencing, telegraph
and signal posts, and other purposes: We
quote from his address: ‘‘ For the last thirty
years it has been said that steel would shortly
be adopted in place of wood for sleepers, but
although we can make our own steel and must
import our timber, this has not come to pass.
If we consider the sleepers laid on all the
railways of the world, the number would not
fall far short of 1,495 millions, and a low
estimate of the value would be $900,000,000.
Might it not be well to inquire whether the
supply of the material was likely to continue to
be equal to the demand?”

These remarks indicate a proper recognition
of the fact that the timber supply will not be
everlasting unless more important steps are
taken to perpetuate it. Allowing for all
probable advancement in this direction, it
seems extremely likely that the tendency will
be to place a higher value on the product of
the forest.

Mindful of the position borne by Canada in
respect to the world’s timber supply, we
modestly predict for 1903 a continuance of the
prosperous conditions which existed in the year
just closed. There may not be the enormous
demand that has been the feature of the past
season, but there will doubtless be found a
market for all the lumber manufactured, and
at profitable figures.

The prosperity of the lumber trade has been
shared by the CanapA LUMBERMAN. Most
hearty support has been accorded to the
journal, and to our readers, advertisers, and
lumbermen in general, we extend our best
wishes for a Prosperous New Year.

LUMBER TRADE ORGANIZATION.

Two important organization movements affect-
ing the lumber trade have been taken during
the past month. The first is the forination in
the United States of a National Association of
Lumber Manufacturers. This association
proposes to include in its membership all
associations of lumber manufacturers 75 per
cent. of whose membership shall be actual
manufacturers, each association te be allowed
representation in proportion to the quantity of
output. The policy of the association has not
yet been clearly defined, but sufficient is given
out to indicate that one of the main objects
will be to protect the lumber interests from
tariff legislation. At the organization meeting,
following quotations from a paper by Mr. John
Charlton, M.P., on ‘Reciprocity with

Canada,” a resolution was unanimously.

adopted that the association is opposed to any
revision or modification of the existing tariff
on lumber. Of more local interest is the
recent formation of an association of lumber-
men in Nova Scotia, of which Mr. Alfred
Dickie has been chosen president. This, to
our knowledge, is the first attempt to organize

that has been made by the lumber trade of

Nova Scotia, and it is our earnest hope that an
influential and useful association will be the
outcome. There is great need not only for
the formation of provincial associations, but
also for the unification of the lumber interests

of Canada, as has been done in the United ©

States.

FORESTRY EDUCATION IN ONTARIO.

The necessity for providing facilities for the
study of forestry has been recognized by the
Ontario Government for some time, and if we
are to judge by the trend of recent events, a
department for that purpose will soon be
established in connection with one of our
universities. The proposition which seems
most likely to be adopted is to found, in
connection with the University of Toronto, a
school on the general plan of Yale and
Cornell Universities in the United States,
provision being made for a summer course of

six weeks at the Ontario Agricultural College, —

Guelph, where a tract of land would be set
apart for the practical work of the students.

It is very desirable that the course should
in some way be connected with the Agricul-
tural.College at Guelph, as the attendance at
that school is comprised largely of farmers’
sons, who would be especially benefitted by
instruction in the growing and preservation of
trees. The objection to establishing the entire
course there is that without a large additional
expenditure the student could not receive
tuition in all the necessary subjects, such as
botany and natural history, which are now
taught at Toronto University.

A claim to the proposed school is advanced
by Queen’s University, of Kingston. The

friends of that institution contend that the new.

engineering building was designed especially
for a department of forestry at the request of
the Ontario Government. However that may
be, it is hoped that a thoroughly equipped
department will be immediately established at
one of the colleges, and later this branch of
study may be extended to other schools.

—
‘ee tet
‘6s

What Ontario proposes to undertake in the
direction of forestry education should be
tollowed by the other provinces of the Domin-
ion. In this regard we would not exclude
Manitoba and the Territories, as although
frequently spoken of as the ‘‘prairie provinces,”
investigation made by the Dominion Super-
intendent of Forestry and other exrerts shows
that great benefit would accrue to the settlers
by the cultivation of trees in suitable districts.

The function of a forestry school, broadly
speaking, may be summed up as reforestation
and preservation. Instruction in the latter
should eventually be of great benefit to lumber-
men, by placing at their disposal trained forest-
ers who would undertake the operation of timber
limits upon systematic, economical methods.
The necessity which exists for such working
plans was emphasized in papers read before the
Canadian Forestry Association at Ottawa last
spring by Messrs.. McGibbon and Cary, both
practicallumbermen. In the United States the
graduates of the forestry schools are well paid,
and the demand for experts is greater than the
supply. The prospects of securing remunera-
tive employment for the graduates are there-
fore promising, and should be sufficient to
induce many of our young men to fit them-
selves for the work.

MR. HARLAN P. HUBBARD.
We take pleasure in presenting herewith a portrait of
Mr. Harlan P. Hubbard, who was recently appointed
sales agent for Canada for the well known firm of E.

Mr. H. P. HuspBarp,
Canadian Representative of E. C. Atkins & Company.

C. Atkins & Company, of Indianapolis, Ind., manufac-
turers of all kinds of saws and saw tools.

Mr. Hubbard is a young man of fine address and
great energy, and is specially qualified for his new
duties, having had years of experience in the manufac-
ture of saws. He comes of a well known family of
Pittsburg, Pa., his father and uncles having for years
been in the saw and axe business in that city, and he
having learned the trade under them at that place.

He was for several years past superintendent of the
Chicago factory of the Simonds Manufacturing Com-
pany, where he was very successful, and well liked by
everyone connected with the establishment, and upon
his resignation he was presented with a beautiful gold
watch and chain by the men.

Mr. Hubbard was made a member of the Concaten-
ated Order of Hoo-Hoo at the Milwaukee Annual, Sep-
tember 9, 1902, and has recently been appointed vice-
gerent for Canada by the new snark.

When our representative called the works were
running full blast. Mr. Coe took bim in hand, anda
thorough inspection of the works resulted therefrom.

required as a power. A

The Coe Company have their own natural gas wells
on the premises, drawing the fuel from the bowels of

be absolutely fire-proof, all walls being of brick and the

man Company have had years of experience with var-
ious makes of kilns and now, we are advised, propose
to abandon all other methods, giving precedence to
the Morton moist air kiln; consequently the A. H. And-
rews Company, who manulacture and sell the Morton
kiln, should feel highly complimented. However, as
the Andrews Company have spent years of labor and
thousands of dollars in bringing the Morton kiln to its

the yards, having connection with the Nickle Plate and
Lake Shore railway systems. The factories are situ-
ated on the high plateau overlooking the river.

The Coe Manufacturing Company have their own
electric lighting plant, also a plant for heating and
ventilating the entire works. They have one of the
largest and most complete plants devoted to the manu-
facture of veneer cutting machinery in existence, all
well lighted. About thirty of the veneer machines
were to be seen in various stages of manufacture. Our
representative counted seven ‘“‘dryers” in process of
construction as he entered the works. Machines are here,
belted ready to do demunstrative cutting of veneers.
The works are equipped with all the latest appliances
and tools used in the various lines. About 500 tons of
finished parts are carried in stock in case of repair
work, which can be shipped immediately.

The Coe Manufacturing Company’s recent shipments
to Canada included plants for the Algoma Commercial

were working on orders for machinery aggregat-

is employed. The ventilating apparatus in the build-

and furnished throughout in veneers. ‘‘ We use
immense quantities of maple,’’ said Mr. Coe, ‘‘and I
suppose we will eventually have to go to Canada for
our supply of this wood.”

The experience of the Coe Company is that good
machinery and good advertising is what makes an
invincible combination. The company believe in
steady, liberal advertising. As one put it, ‘ it is just
as much of a mistake to advertise only part of the time
as it would be to make good machinery only part of
the time.” The Coe Company have a good thing, tor
they make the very best machinery, and that is too
patent a fact not to let it become known.

EXTENSIVE DRY KILN PLANT.

The name ‘‘Morton” as associated with dry kilns for
drying lumber, etc., has become very familiar to lum-
bermen and manufacturers of forest products during

the past few years, during which period the Morton
kiln has been adopted by some of the largest manufac-
turers in the United States, which certainly indicates a
bright future. One of the greatest compliments paid
the Morton kiln was when the Allis-Chalmers Company
selected it for their new mammoth plant at Milwaukee
for drying their pattern stock. In addition to this comes
information that the Pullman Company have decided to
install a battery of 20 Morton moist air dry kilns in
connection with their great manufacturing industry
located at Pullman, Ill. These kilns will all be about
80 feet long, and range in width from 18 to 4o feet,
which will make a coutinuous line of kilns about 500

to a just reward, and we wish them a continuance ot
the popularity which their kiln is now enjoying. The
A. H. Andrews Company are located at 300 Wabash
Avenue, Chicago, Ill. Such of our readers as are in-
terested in dry kiln matters are requested to write to
the company for a catalogue, as they desire all
interested parties to have same on file even if
they are not ready to negotiate for dry kiln apparatus.
They will gladly send fac-simile copies of testimonial
letters to persons wishing to learn the opinion of others
as to their kiln. :

NEW MILL OF THE LILLICRAP, 2 Ate
LUMBER COMPANY.

The Lillicrap, Tate Lumber Company have just com-_
pleted the erection of a new saw mill at Lakefield,
Ont. It is a circular mill with a capacity of from 25,-
000 to 30,000 feet per day. The machinery was man-
ufactured and installed by the William Hamilton Manu-

facturing Company, of Peterborough, who have fur-
nished an up-to-date plant. .

The mill is built on concrete foundations throughout.
It is 30 x 84 feet and 16 x 26 feet, with stone boiler and
engine room 25x36 feet. The plant comprises the usual
equipment of steam niggers, live rollers, trimmers,
slab saws, etc. The saw carriage is of the newest
design. The saw dust is disposed of by means of a
Dutch oven, and the exhaust steam from the engine
heats the water before it is forced into the boiler.
The company now have a number of men at work in
the woods taking out logs for the ensuing sea-

son.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

Business in lumber is of the kind that
characterizes the close of each year.
Except for urgent requirements buyers
will not increase their obligations until
they start into the new year. Little fault
can be found, however, with the lumber —
situation. The number of inquiries which
have been received by manufacturers and
dealers is taken as a strong indication of
an early and active spring trade. Pine

mill culis were singularly active during —
December, and the quantity of unsold
stock in mill yards is much less than was
predicted two months ago. While pros-
pects are bright for all kinds of lumber
and present prices will doubtless be sus-
tained for some months to come, there
are evidences of a rise in the price
of both hemlock and basswood lumber.
The demand for hemlock is gradually ex-
panding, whereas the production of logs
this winter will not be above an average
quantity. The cost of obtaining logs is
fully $1 per thousand more than last
season, and by many it is predicted that
an advance of $2 in the price of lumber
will follow. The main condition affecting
basswood is the decided scarcity of that
lumber. For some time dealers have
found great difficulty, on account of the ;
scarcity, in filling orders, and in some

cases have been obliged to refuse large
bills. Recognizing the situation, several
dealers are quietly contracting with manu- i
facturers for. their 1903 production, the 4!

result of which promises to be severe a
competition and higher prices. Export
trade is an important outlet for basswood,

and during the past season several large

shipments. were made to Great Britain —
and Germany.

Reports from the logging districts tell
of favorable conditions, and if there
should be no setback the production of
pine this winter will doubtless be as large
as last. season. . Woodsmen are now |
more plentitul. A government official
places the square timber output of the
Ottawa Valley this winter at 2,000,000 _
cubic feet, as compared with 1,875,000
cubic feet last season. ;

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

From every quarter comes the report of ©
firmness in spruce lumber prices. Sh'ppers ~
have contracted for a considerable quan- ~
tity ot deals for export to Great Briian,
and several mill cuts have been purchased
for the American market. Local buying
also is active for this season of the year,
the farmers evicently being in good con- |
dition financially. Perhaps the condition —
which exerts a greater influence on prices _

hat anything else is the prospect -of a
jhortage in the log supply. Owing to nigh
wages, scarcity of labor, and weather con-
jitions, it is predicted that the production
>f spruce logs in Quebec and New Buuns-
wick will be much smaller than last winter.
One manufacturer advises us that he ex-
sects to secure spruce enough to stock
dInly one mill, whereas three mills were
stocked last season. The supply of both
‘umber and shingles is so small that a ma-
terial reduction in the log input this winter
would be certain to result in higher prices
next year.
UNITED STATES.

A meeting of the Mississippi Valley Lum-
bermen’s Association is to be held this
week to revise the price list on lumber.

here are indications that an advance of
fifty cents will be made on piece stuff, the
supply of which is very short. No.4 boards
are also showing strength and have been
advanced one dollar per thousand by sever-
4l manufacturers in the Wisconsin Valley.
It is doubtful whether the- stock of pine
bumber on hand at the lake markets will be
sufficient to take care of the winter trade,

demand from the east. In Chicago trade

are doing a splendid trade.

ch box lumber have recently been made
in Buffalo at $19 to the consumer, which is
considered a very good price. Hardwoods
‘remain firm. Maple is strong and there is
a movement of beech to take the place of
it. The supply of basswood is so small
that it is possible to obtain almost any
reasonable price. Ash and elm are more
plentiful than the other hardwoods.

Logging condititions in the Lake Superi-
or district are excellent and every effort is
being put forthto secure a large crop of
logs. The east makes complaint regard§
ing the continued warm weather, which in
imany place has spoiled the roads. Logging
‘operators state that they are constantly
visited by dealers wishing to purchase
their logs with the idea of having them
sawn to required specifications.

GREAT BRITAIN.

Agents of shippers have abandoned a,
efforts to secure business until after the
Yuletide holidays. Buying for immediate
‘requirements has been confined largeiy to
the better class of lumber, the stock of
which is much lighter than of the lower
grades. Owing to the large import from
the Baltic, a disposition is shown by sell-
‘ers to moderate their asking prices. Itis
‘estimated that the quantity of Baltic rough
— in the London docks is sufficient to

upply the requirements for the next nine
onths. These conditions do not apply to
‘Canadian lumber, both pine and spruce
eals being in lighter supply than one
ear ago. The unfavorable statistical

REMARKABLE HARDWOOD
SITUATION.

Perhaps we have made the observation
before, but it will bear repetition, that in
the hardwood business the precent isa
really. wonderful condition. Probably
never before, in proportion to the demand,
has there been sucha small amount of
hardwood lumber available. The scarcity
of dry stock affects everybody but the lew
heavy consumers and perhaps a few heavy
dealers who contract their supply so far
ahead that they are not affected by the
conditions of a year. Not only is this so
but all parts of the country are in sub-
stantially the same shape. There is no
lumber worth speaking of anywhere at
the mills or in the markets of the east or
west.

The American Lumberman says that

the scarcity is almost the same in all the_

diffe ent kinds of woods. Some are in
more plentiful supply than others, but in
none is there a satisfactory quantity. Not

only are consumers and dealers looking~

for stock but manufacturers themselves.
There are many heavy saw mill men who
have their regular trade that they wish to
supply. Being unable this year to meet.
the requirements of their customers from
their own stocks they are in the market
for additional supplies. Producers who
never did sucha thing before are now
trying to buy. This is particularly notice-
able with the quartered oak producers.
Instances have been known where such
people have within a week paid $4 a
thousand more for common quartered oak
than they would have had to pay four
weeks ago and they are unable to find at
any price the quantity that they want.

As to first and second quartered oak
the market is almost bare and it is hardly
possible to quote a price which will fairly
represent the market. In Chicago there

is a wide range, with its lowest limit at
above $60. Red quartered is practically
exhausted. An anomalous condition. is
seen in the prices of plain sawed red and
white oak. They are almost as scarce as
quartered sawed, but the price has ad-
vanced hardly at all within the last six
months. One reason for this may be that
the supply of plain sawed oak can be~re-
plénished with much ease as compared
with quarter sawed, though, of course, in
either case there remains the problem of
drying.

In cottonwood there is an unheard of
Situation. Within a few weeks there was
a sale of a considerable quantity of log
run cottonwood at $17.50 on barge. We
do not have to think back very far to the
time when anything over $10 would have
been a fair price.

Another wood of the same general
class as cottonwood and poplar is ‘bass-

‘TREATMENT OF SECOND-GROWTH WHITE

PINE.*

By WALLACE I. HUTCHINSON, Wolfville, N.S,

The following methods of thinning and prun-
ing white pine, and the effect of such cuttings,

opment, and on account of crowding is likely
to assume a long, lanky shape, which is very
easily damaged by wind and snow. It is this
state of affairs that the owner should strive to
obviate by thinning his trees. Thinning is the
cutting out of such tree-growths as interfere
with the healthy development, and hence the
future value, of the crop. This form of thin-
ning is termed the ‘‘weeding” out of the unde-

country, will have to be slightly modified to

~ suit conditions elsewhere.

As the supply of white pine decreases and
the stumpage value increases proportionately,
the aim of nearly every farmer who owns a
woodlot is likely to be the production of the
greatest quantity of valuable timber in the
shortest possible time. To do this, his first
object should be to stock the area with a suf-
ficient number of trees to form a complete
cover overhead. This is not only beneficial to
the soil, but also for the proper development
of the trees. In the natural woods this state
of affairs very often exists.

Natural forests are likely to be more valu-
able than artificial p!antations, for most natur-
al forests grow only in such situations as are
congenial to the life of trees, the seeds of
which will not germinate readily in unfavor-
able soils. Nature seldom errs in the choice
of conditions favorable to tree-growth, a judg-
ment in which man is very liable to error.

Shortly after the leaf canopy is established
the growing trees begin to crowd one another,
and the struggle for light and space com-
mences. A number of trees overtop the rest,
rearing their heads to the full enjoyment of the

light. Below these a few trees here and there

enjoy with their leading shoots the light which

is not absorbed by the dominating trees.

Others are left so far behind in the race that
they are deprived of enjoyment of all direct
light—that is, they are suppressed. They live
for a shorter or longer period, but unless they
are a shade-enduring species they are not apt
to survive tor any great length of time.

Thus the forest is divided into three classes
—dominant, intermediate, and suppressed
trees. This struggle for existence goes on
during the entire life of the forest, and is apt
to so reduce the growing space of each domin-
ating tree that it cannot reach its fullest devel-

sirable trees. A single tree growing in the
open and in the complete enjoyment of light
will develop a full crown and root system and
lay on a maximum volume of wood, but growth
under these conditions has several serious
drawbacks:

ist. Trees growing in this manner do not
always produce the greatest volume of wood

branches low down on the trunk; consequently
they produce knotty and less valuable timber.
Moreover, open stands are not apt to improve
the fertility of poor soil on account of exposure
to the light, which dries out the moisture;
hence open stands can be grown best only in
naturally fertile soils.

These few conditions govern profitable
growth in all localities. Thus while in one
case it would be proper to remove all suppress-
ed and dominated, and even a part of the dom-
inating, trees, in another case it would be
necessary to look carefully after all of these
classes in order to secure the maximum growth
and the highest timber value from the land.

Certain important changes are gradually
taking place in the growth of trees in the
forest, both individually and collectively.
There are changes in the soil in which they
grow, in the surrounding atmosphere, and
changes wrought even upon the inhabitants in
the neighborhood. These changes are chem-
ical and mechanical. A growing tree takes
from the soil the elements that are essential
to its development, but restores them to the
soil through its fallen leaves and branches in
the form of carbonaceous and nitrogenous
matter. Thus, under normal conditions the
soil grows richer and capable of supporting

-larger and more luxuriant forests. The

mechanical changes are more easily traced.
The roots of trees change the composition of
soil by forcing their way into it, thus disinte-
grating the rocks and earth and allowing the
free access of air and water.

In dividing the trees of a forest into classes
an account must be taken of the dead trees.

per acre. Although every tree in a crowded
woods has a smaller volume than the isolated
one, yet, owing to the greater number of trees,
the crowded stand generally has a larger total

‘volume per acre, and therefore greater stump-

age value.

2nd. Isolated trees usually grow short or
crooked, while trees in thick woods are, as a
rule, straight.

3rd. Trees in the open generally have

These should be removed at every thinning, as
they can be of no benefit to the other classes,
but may be a constant source of danger from
insects, fungi, and, in many cases, fire.

All thinnings are carried on with one of twoob-
jects in view: first, the production of the great-
est quantity of material; second, the produc-
tion of the highest quality of timber. The means
of attaining these ends differ considerably.

Experience has taught that the greatest

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN _

quantity of timber is produced in the shortest
time by the vigorous development of the domi-
nating trees. These are removed and con-
verted into lumber as soon as the undergrowth
is of sufficient density to protect the soil (Fig.
1). The first thinning is made as soon as the
struggle for existence commences—that is,
when it is found that the trees are contending
with each other for light and space. If the
owner of the woodlot has gone over his land
in the early stages of its tree growth and
weeded out the undesirable trees, this first
thinning may be delayed till the tenth or fif-
teenth year, when the trees taken out may be
utilized for firewood or temporary fence posts.
The thinning should be heavy enough to give
the trees that remain the space they require.
As white pine may naturally come up in a very
thick stand, quite a slash will be necessary to
rid the woods of the undesirable trees (Fig. 2).
In choosing the ones to be removed, the de-
formed and diseased trees should be taken first.
The former, if left, will never amount to any-
thing, and are liable to injure the growth of
the remaining crop. The latter usually harbor
injurious forest insects, which in a great many

cases cause considerable damage.
(To be Continued.)

THE “STERN WHEELER.”

With the opening up of territory in New Ontario and
Western Canada, the question of transportation facili-
ties will have to be considered and the best means de-
vised for utilizing the present rivers and lakes for the
purpose of distributing supplies to the new settlements.

We present to our readersa form of steam boat
specially adapted for navigating shallow rivers and
lakes, and for carrying large loads on a light draft of

. water. This style of steamboat is known as the ‘‘Stern’

Wheeler” and is largely used on the Mississippi and
other western rivers, where the conditions are such

that a deep draft boat cannot be operated. This style
of steamboat is also well adapted fer service in towing
logs, carrying lumber, etc.

The boat illustrated is 80 feet in length, 20 feet beam
and draws only 16 inches of:-water, These steamers
are now being constructed by the Goderich Engine
Works, Goderich, Ont. The hulls can be supplied in
parts so that they may be shipped by rail to destination
and put together and completed by ordinary labor.

The above company will upon application supply all
information regarding these steamboats.

AN OWEN SOUND MANUFACTORY.

The Wm. Kennedy & Sons, Limited, engineers and
iron founders, of Owen Sound, Ontario, is one of the
oldest established firms in that line of business in the
province. They have been continuously in business for
over 40 years and are favorably known throughout
Canada. Hydraulic and mechanical engineering

seems to have “‘run inthe family”, as the Kennedys
are born engineers.

In 1868 they commenced the manufacture of the
Leffel turbine in Canada, and their water wheels
carried off the 1st prize at the old Provincial Exhibi-
tions whenever shown. They were also awarded the
Bronze Medal of the Centennial Exhibition in 1876 and
the Canadian Silver Medal for Canadian exhibitors at
the same time. In 1880 they were again awarded the
Canadian and French Official Silver Medals for their
turbine exhibited at Paris. Later on they adopted the
New American turbine, believing it to be the best all
round water wheel made, and are now manufacturing
it in all the different vertical and horizontal styles, to

_meet the continually. changing requirements.

In connection with this department of their business,
they have perhaps the largest and most complete set of
heavy gear patterns to be found anywhere in the
country, and as they have installed special, up-to-date
gear-dressing machinery, they are ina position to do
the very best class of work in this line.

The furnishing of iron bridgetrees, yokes and floor-
stands also receive special attention at their. hands.
They have a large stock of patterns from which almost

.

any mill or factory can be supplied. Heavy shaf

pulleys, etc., are special lines with them and particular

care is bestowed on this class of work. =
Situated as their shops are on the waters of the

. Georgian Bay, they enjoy the patronage of a large

number of saw mills of the Georgian Bay district.
Their trade with them is constantly increasing, and we
cheerfully recommend them to those who have not
hitherto given them their patronage.

Years ago Messrs. Keunedy & Sons started the
manufacture of propeller wheels in a small way, but it

has grown to such an extent that “The Kennedy
Wheel” is now well and favorably known to most of the
marine men on our lakes and rivers, and we are advised
that they stand second to none in finish and efficiency.
They make them in all sizes and for all purposes, run-
ning, towing or for general purposes as required, and
solid or sectional as best suited to the different routes
and conditions under which the wheel has to perform
its work. We understand a special mixture of iron
and steel, or all steel, is now being used to give great-
er strength without destroying the efficiency, as is done
in the case of a ‘‘theavy club of a wheel”. Particular
care is taken in the foundry to get smooth, true cast-
ings, and this seems to be obtained to a remarkable
degree. To help to supply customers as promptly as
possible, considerably over one-hundred propellers are
carried in stock, and the company claim to have the
largest line of patterns and largest stock of propeller
wheels in Canada. This fact of itself should be of
great benefit to steamboat men, and their endeavor to
furnish ‘‘Canadian made’ propeller wheels promptly
should be encouraged.

General marine repairs receive particular attention —

from them, and the close proximity of their shops to the
docks and to the dry
‘dock at Owen Sound
must be a real benefit to
their customers on the
Upper Lakes.

Observing that no steel
castings were made in
Canada west of Montreal,
The William Kennedy &
Sons lately put up a
special moulding shop
(fitted with electric crane,
etc.) and a plant for the
production of steel cast-
ings, and now as good
steel castings can be ob-
tained from them as can
be procured anywhere.
Those requiring steel cast-
ings from their own pat-
terns or from The Wm.
Kennedy & Sons patterns,
can get them in the rough
ini: or finished, as desired.

Mr. C. A. Fleming ; trczsurer, Mr, J. Tolton ; mana-
ger, Mr. J. M. Wilson.

The new buildings of this company will comprise one
of the finest plants on the continent. Our representa-
tive was shown through the immense works and given
details of the plans now being worked out. One of
the buildings will be 330 feet long and about 50 feet
wide, with railway tracks and over-head travelling
cranes running right through the works. The machine
shop will be 165 feet long and 45 feet wide, the
moulding shop 60x42 feet, and the furnace room 45x28
feei. The pattern storage room will be 5244x31%
feet, with a smaller one 20x35 feet, and the boiler
house will be 75x50 feet. All the buildings will be of
stone, and will be heated by hot air blast in winter,
and cold air will be circulated through them in
summer.

The buildings are splendidly lighted, having a square
foot of glass for every 24% square feet of floor surface.
Artificial light will be provided by a combined system
of electric arc and incandescent lighting from their
own plant. The floor of the works will be of cement.

Power will be furnished by one of the latest type of
Corliss engines, with necessary boilers. There will be
installed a complete pneumatic plant for use in the
machine and boiler shop. Among the equipment for
the main shop will a complete set of rolls, punches and
drills.

The location of the extensive works of the Owen
Sound Iron Works Companyison Marsh street,extend-
ing to Water street. Splendid shipping facilities are
provided, and the company are very accessible to
New Ontario, where there is a ready market for saw
mill machinery, boilers, etc.

The principal machinery to be manufactured will
consist of steel saw carriages, shingle thachines, lath
machines, steam feeds, niggers, log jacks, and con-
veyers, also all kinds of cement machinery, a specialty
being made of slurry mills and pumps.

We present an illustration of this company’s all-iron

and steel swing shingle machine, which has a cap city
of 10 to 20 thousand per day. The saw and collar of
this machine can be removed in five minutes and
replaced by another without changing the set of the
machine, saving much time when the saw is dull or
impaired. The machine will cut shingles, heading, etc.,
and changes can be quickly made to suit different
lengths and thicknesses of work.

The energetic manager of this concern, Mr. J. N.
Wilson, speaking to a representative of this paper,
stated that a single insertion of the company’s
advertisement in the CANADA LUMBERMAN paid them
better and brought greater results than any other
advertising ever done. ‘‘ Yes,” said Mr. Wilson, ‘* we
got a better return from that single insertion in your
paper than from all our previcus advertising, and if you
like you may say I can vouch for it. We got large
orders from Edmonton and the B. C. coast.”

The company do a very large business in the ship
repair line, and are putting in new equipment for this
purpose.

ECONOMY IN LUMBER MANUFACTURE.

Lumber manufacturers, in keeping with the general
progressive spirit of the times, are striving more and
more to utilize every possible foot of timber in the log,
and are now converting into profit what in former years
had gone to waste, and was even an expense to get it
out of the way. This has naturally created a demand
for new and improved machines and labor saving
devices, and opened up a wide field for the inventive
genius of up-to-date saw mill machinery manufacturers.

Mr. M. Garland, president of the M. Garland Com-
pany, manufacturers of special saw mill machinery at
Bay City, Mich., has always been to the fore, and
usually in advance of the demands in this field, and to
the versatility of his inventive genius is due many of
the greatest labor saving devices known to saw
mill engineering.

From the many excellent machines manufactured by
the M. Garland Company we have selected the
improved Eureka bolter and lath mill, which we illus-
trate in the accompanying engraving, as a sample of
the high character machinery now demanded by the
wide awake saw mill men of the country.

The cut shows a combined bolter and lath mill, in a
substantial iron frame, of a neat design, and in addition
to cutting lath and lath bolts, by a slight change of

1” face, having a speed of 1800 revolutions per minute. =

The bolter feed pulley is 14 inches in diameter with
4-inch face, and runs at 105 r.p.m. On the lath
mill arbor is a 7-inch pulley, g-inch face, and has a
speed of 2,600 to 3,000 r. p.m. The feed pulley of
the lath mill is 7 inches, with 4-inch face, and runs
at 130 revolutions per minute. The combined machine
requires a floor space of only 7 feet 6 inches long by
3 feet 6 inches wide. When built separately the lath
mill requires a floor space of only 4 feet 7 inches long
by 3 feet 6 inches wide, and the bolter the same.

From these specifications it will be seen that this
machine is scientifically proportioned, and adjusted so
as to get the best possible results with the least
expenditure of energy.

That the economical saw mill men recognize the -

merits of this machine is evidenced by the large number
the M. Garland Company are installing in new mills,
as well as mills that have been in operation for years.
Detailed specifications will be cheerfully furnished ot
application.

DO THEY GET RESULTS? . " :

One secret of the success of many a ‘business firm i: is

that they are willing to try new propositions to reach

some of the world’s trade. There are to-day hundreds —
of firms languishing instead of thriving because eye

do not place enough reliance on printer’s ink and ad-
vertising.

;

That the CaNaDa LUMBERMAN is one of the best
mediums in Canada has again been evidenced by a re-

cent trial advertisement placed with us by the Walker- _

ville Wagon Company. This wide-awake concern has —
an up-to-date manager who advertised lumber sleighs
for sale. Before the second insertion of the advertise-

ment they had sold their entire output, and attribute it

solely to the use of our columns.

When our representative called upon the company he
was shown several car loads packed to the doors of
logging sleighs and lumber bobs—the last of the entire
output—all sold by one insertion in the CANADA
LUMBERMAN. 2

The Walkerville Wagon Company's specialties in
lumber sleighs are the Ontario two-knee bob, the
h.avy teaming or logging sleigh, and the camel back
Manitoba sloop sleigh. The logging sleigh is supplied
with 24, 3 and 4 inch runners, heavily built especially for
logging. The draught is made directly from the bench

collars it can be adapted to sawing pickets and any
stock from 4 to 4” square or other forms. Both bolter
and lath mill are equipped with upper and lower feed
rolls in front and rear of saws, insuring a strong and
positive feed of stock to saws. A wide deck or table
(A-1) is arranged to conveniently receive the bolts from
the bolter, from which they are taken and passed
through the lath mill. The capacity of the machine is
claimed to be from 40,000 to 60,000 perfect lath per
day, when intelligently operated.

The pulley on the bolter arbor is to” in diameter,

where the load rests by means of chains and cross-cha‘ns.

The company show their appreciation of this journa; —

by taking advertising space for a year inadvance. Do

they get results? Ask them. The CANADA LUMBERMAN |

is the best medium not only for saw mill machinery, en-
gines and boilers, but for supplies and equipment of any

kind used in the mills,on the drive,or in the lumberman’s

own home. The LUMBERMAN not only goes to nearly
every saw and planing mill from the Atlantic to Pacific,

but to large numbers actively engaged in thelumbering
business in Canada and the States bordering thereon: :

First melt the copper, then add 12 pounds tin by
degrees ; put in 8 pounds antimony, and 12 pounds
more tin should be added while composition is melting.
This forms the hardening which is to be used with tin

REQUISITION FOR AN EXPORT DUTY.

A meeting of the pulp and paper manu-
facturers of Canada was held at the Windsor
Hotel, Montreal, on December 2nd, for the
purpose of considering the presentation of a
memorial to the Dominion Government
requesting an export duty on pulp wood. It
is understood that opinion was unanimous
that such action should be taken,

It was accordingly decided without a dis-
sentient voice that a committee, after consult-
ing the Government of the province of Quebec
with the view of devising means whereby the
views of the manufacturers could be carried
out, while at the same time the requirements
of the provincial authorities should be complied
with, proceed to Ottawa and interview the
federal Government for the purpose of secur-
ing the imposition of an export duty, which,
while not onerous during the first and second
years, so as not to interfere with the present
export business, would, at the same time, give
opportunity to all present owners of timber
limits to erect pulp or paper mills if they
think it necessary, and should progressively
advance until such a figure should be charged
as would afford reasonable and yet complete
protection to the pulp and paper interests of
this country.

Those in attendance at the meeting were:.

E. B. Eddy, of the E. B, Eddy Company,
Hull; John R. Barber, of Barber Bros.,
Georgetown, and the Toronto Paper Mfg:
Company ; F. P. Buck, president of the Royal

THE ST. GEORGE PULP AND PAPER
COMPANY.

At St. George, in Charlotte County, N.B., a
syndicate of United States capitalists have
undertaken an extensive project with a view to
the manufacture of pulp and paper. The
settlement of St. George is situated on the
Magaguadadic river. In the summer of 1901
Messrs. James Goodfellow, of Fort Fairfield,
N.Y., and E. W. Murphy, of Albany, N.Y.,
organized the St. George Pulp and Paper
Company. They purchased the necessary
water power and rights, also fifty square miles
of timber lands from J. Dewar & Sons. The
contract for turbines required for the power de-
velopment was placed with the Jenckes Machine
Company, of Sherbrooke, Que., who are to fur-
nish two pairs of 45-inch special Crocker tur-
bines and two pairs of 20-inch special Crocker
turbines, allin steel cases and arranged for hori-
zontal setting, to be capable of developing
2,668 horse power under 40 feet effective head
of water.

The water necessary for the supply of the
turbines is to be carried through a steel plate
riveted pipe 16 inches in diameter and 450 feet
long, also supplied .by the Jenckes Company.
The penstock has just been erected by their
workmen on the site of the mill, it having been
punched, rolled, fitted together, and painted
at their works before shipment.

The mill will be located on a peculiarly

advantageous site. It will be one-storey high, _
65x120 feet, and will have a daily capacity at
the outset of 20 tons of pulp, but this will be
ultimately increased to 50 tons. The Jenckes
Machine Company have also received the
contract to supply the pulp mill machinery,
including grinders, wet machines, screens,
barkers, cutting off saws, hydraulic press,
baling press, conveyers, etc. The screens to
be used are the celebrated Moore centrifugal
screens, a comparatively new invention.

The mill is to be lighted by electricity and
steam heated. The electric plant will be
furnished by the Westinghouse Electric &
Manufacturing Company, of Pittsburg, Pa.
In addition to supplying electricity for their
own use, the company expects to develop 750
horse power to be furnished to the Granite
Company whose water power they acquired.
Electric lighting may also be furnished for the
corporation of St. George.

The operations are being conducted under
the supervision of Mr. E. G. Murphy, who is
manager of the company.

Victoria. Preliminary to beginning the manufacture
of pulp the company will establish a saw mill at Quat-
sino.

P. C. Hohlenburg and J. T. McNeill, of Cleveland,
Ohio, representing an American syndicate, recently
secured an option on the properties of William Bruck-
hof and William Godard at Springdale, Kings County,
N.B. It is understood that if the option is taken up a
pulp mill will be erected on the property.

An idea of the importance of the pulpwood industry
in the Eastern Townships of Quebec, is shown by the
fact that the Quebec Central Railway alone has carried
80,000 cords of this wood since last spring. This
wood cost $20,000 to load on the cars and yielded the
railway $100,000 in freight. Farmers sell the wood for
$4 per cord, when barked, and four feet in length.

ultimo, among those present being Charles Riordon
and George E. Challes, of the Riordon Paper Mills,
Merritton, Ont., and M. F. Mooney, of the St. John
Sulphite Pulp Company, Mispec, N.B. It is under-
stood that the reports submitted showed that the mills
were well sold up, with very small stocks on hand.

F. H. Clergue, of the Sault Ste. Marie Pulp & Paper
Company, does not fear a retaliatory duty on pulp
imported into the United States. He contends that
the extra duty would have to be paid by the consumer,
and that if the law were applied in the case of pulp, by
a parity of reasoning it must also be applied with
respect to lumber. This would bring about an awk-
ward situation, as many Amarican companies have
built large saw mills in Canada.

A very distinguished party of British merchants and
manufacturers, representing the London Chamber of
Commerce, who are now touring Canada, were ban-
queted by the Canadian Manufacturers’ Association in
Toronto on November 2ist. In the speeches the pulp

A. M. Can. Soc. C. E:

wood question was repeatedly referred to. Hon. G.
W. Ross, Premier of Ontario, pointed out that |
land consumed 504,000 tons of wood pulp ann
which only 78,000 tons came from Canada. He advo-
cated the building of British mills in Canada and the
consolidation of the empire by each part purchasing as
much of its supply as possible from some other part,
instead of from a foreign country.

The Toronto Globe is not in favor of an export duty
on pulp wood. Summing up the situation it says: “It is
clear that the export duty will accomplish everything
the paper manufacturers desire, but not so clear that it
can be imposed without inflicting serious hardships on
many settlers and other owners of pulp wood. Canada
is too fully dependent on the advance of settlement to
risk the restoration of early and onerous conditions
until it is clear that important public interests are to be
served by th2 change.. The paper-making industry is
entitled to every consideration, and its interests should

be furtheréd in every way so long as no other Canadian
interest is adversely affected.”

The daily average for the season of 91,000 feet on an Allis Double Band Mill and Gang is an
argument more eloquent than words to prove that this mill in actual performance will bear out our claim that it

will increase the output of your band mill from 30 to 40 per cent.

‘the following letter 1s particularly interesting in its bearing upon the merits of the Allis Double

Cutting Band :

Parry SounD, November 6, 1902.
WarterRous ENGINE Works, Brantford.

Dear Sirs*:—Replying to yours of the 27th ult. in regard to the merits ot the double cutting band mill and steam set works

over single cutting and hand set works, I beg to say that very much better results have been obtained with double band mill and

steam set works, the average daily cut this season being some 91,000 feet per 11 hours, to 54,000 last year. The saw culls will not

exceed 7,000 feet out of about 18,000,000 feet of lumber. Yours truly,
J. J. GRANT, Supt. Conger Lumber Co. Saw Mill.

Last year the above firm had a single cutting Allis Band and Gang. This year by the change from the
single to double cutting band and the addition of a steam setter to the carriage the output was increased over 60
per cent This increase was gained without added cost for labor and therefore means a corresponding increase in

the daily profits of the business, and the saw cull loss was practically eliminated.

Write us and.Jet us tell you more about the actual performances of the Allis Double Cutting Band

Mill and Steam Setter.

“GANADIAN” OVER LOG SAW GUIDE

PATENTED IN CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES.

; This Over Log Saw Guide is no longer in the experimental state. Any intelligent sawyer can handle them, and use much
thinner saws, thus saving a large amount of lumber that is usually converted into saw dust. One of our leading saw manufacturers §
says : ‘They will be a great help to any saw.” make them to fit on existing saw frames, and sell with or without saw rig as de-
sired.

The saving in lumber will pay entire cost in very few days’ sawing.

Be “up-to-date” and have a ‘‘.anadian” Over Log Saw Guide. Order now and get reduced price.

AN OTTAWA LUMBER FIRM.

smOne of the young but aggressive and pro-
gressive firms of lumber shippers in the Ottawa
district is Messrs. Hurdman & Elmitt, whose
offices are located in the Central Chambers, Ot-
tawa. Established in 1808, the firm has enjoyed
a remarkable growth of business. The mem-
bers, Mr.G. Charles Hurdman and Mr. Thomas
F. Elmitt, are young men, each possessing prac-
tical and full knowledge of the lumber business,
and each giving its operations their personal
attention. They buy direct from the mills. All
lines of Canadian lumber, hardwoods, pine,
spruce, lath and shingles, are handled, and in
quantities that make exacting assortment and
quick delivery possible.
best of shipping facili-
ties, and can handle
stock in both barge and
car lots. Toe

Mr. G. Charles Hurd-

The firm has the very

man. He is the eldest
son of the late George
Hurdman, of Ottawa,

the original firm of
Hurdman Brothers,
afterwards Buell, Orr &
Hurdman, and now the
Hull Lumber Company.
Mr. Robert Hurdman,
the present well-known
timber operator, is an
uncle of the subject of
the sketch. The late
Mr. W. H. Hurdman
was similarly related.
On his mother’s side Mr.
Hurdman is connected
with a prominent family
of lumber operators.
The late Charles Tuck-
er, one of the organizers and principal share-
holders of the St. Paul and Tacoma Lumber
Company, of Tacoma, Wash., was his uncle.
The first five years of Mr. Hurdman’s career
in the business found him ‘up river,” the term
commoaly used to describe the timber limits as
a base of operations. There he obtained a
mastery of the details of the bush end of the

business, which has stood him well in his

present position. Determined to secure an
all-round knowledge, and especially that relat-
ing to the mill and yard, Mr. Hurdman entered

* the services of the Shepard & Morse Lumber

Company.

ns sorting and shipping. Hurdman &
Elmitt have numerous customers who know
{the firm only through the mails and the stock
they ship.

Few men in the business have a better or
more thorough knowledge of the mill and
‘manufacturer’s end of the lumber trade than
Mr. Thomas F. Elmitt. Years of study and
‘service have enabled him to grasp every detail
and apply to it a sound judgment, perfected by
experience. In the mill, yard and office he is
as much at home as the saw before the log.
Mr. Elmitt is in close touch with the American
and Canadian markets, and the firm’s customers
find in him a man who has the happv nack of
filling every requirement of every order.

His boyhood days found him in the employ
of the old-time white pine house of Bronson &
Weston, then conducting operations that in-
cluded in their scope every branch of the lumber
business as carried on in Ottawa and the
Ottawa Valley.
intelligently applied industry earned him pro-
motion, and ultimately advanced him to a more
responsible position in the employ of the Shep-
ard & Morse Lumber Company, of Ottawa.
He was associated with their business in
various capacities for a period of six years,
severing his connection to accept the position
of yard superintendent with the St. Anthony
Lumber Company, with mill at Whitney Station,
on the western branch of the Canada Atlantic
Railway. His experience in this latter capacity
might be termed a post-graduate course in

His keen discernment and

lumbering, and it rounded out a practical
knowledge of every line of the business. Mr.
Elmitt is an enthusiastic rifleman, and out of
office hours often finds his way to the Rockliffe
Range, the Canadian ‘‘ Sea Girt,” where many
a bull’s-eye has been marked to his credit.

Hurdman & Elmitt handle a large quantity
of hardwoods as well as their extensive pine
trade, and are always in the market to buy
either large or small quantities.

CANADIAN FORESTRY ASSOCIATION,

Arrangements are being rapidly completed
for the third annual convention of the Canadian
Forestry Association, which will be held in
Ottawa on March 5th
and 6th. It is hoped
that there will be a large
attendance, as the sub-
jects to be discussed will
be of very special im-
portance at the present
time and of the greatest
practical moment to the
future of the lumber in-
dustry.

The programme as
already arranged will
include th following
papers: ‘‘ The Lauren-
tide National Park,” by
W. C. J. Hall, of the
Crown Lands Depart-
ment, Quebec; ‘‘ The
Fire-Ranging System of
Ontario,” by Aubrey
White, Assistant Com-
missioner of Crown
Lands for ‘Ontarios
‘Tree Planting in Mani-
toba,” by A. P. Steven-
son, of Nelson, Man.;
‘*Forest Conditions in New Brunswick,” by
His Honor J. B. Snowball, Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor of New Brunswick; ‘‘The Growth of
Forest Trees at the Arboretum of the Ex-
perimental Farm,” by W. T. Macoun, Horti-
culturist ; ‘‘Forestry in Relation to Irrigation,”
by J. S. Dennis, Irrigation Commissioner for
the Canadian Pacific Railway Company in the
North-West Territories. It is also expected
to have papers from Nova Scotia and British
Columbia, but final arrangements have not yet
been made in regard to them.

A WELCOME VISITOR.

Mr. Jasper. Martin, of Hillsdale, Ont., in renewing

ANNUAL LUMBER TRADE REVIEW

Statistics of the Production and Export in 1902.—A Year of Prosperity and
Favorable Conditions.—Advance in Prices Partially Offset by
Increased Cost of Labor and Supplies.

E would indeed be a pessimist who
H could not find cause for congratulation
in a retrospective glance over the
lumber trade of the year 1902. From start to
finish business was healthy. The lot of the
salesman was an enviable one, inasmuch as
lumber practically sold itself. From the At-
lantic to the Pacific, and from the best grade
of white pine down to the lowest grade of
hemlock, the application of a steady demand,
firm prices and liberal profits can fairly be
made. As one reflects upon the prevailing
conditions and volume of business, he is dis-
posed to designate the past year as the ‘‘banner
year” in the history of the lumber industry of
the Dominion.

As long as logs were available the mills were
kept in operation, but in some provinces, es-
pecially British Columbia, there developed a
scarcity of raw material, which resulted in cur-
tailing the lumber production. The high cost
of timber, as well as of labor and supplies, was
one of the distinctive features of the year, and
had it not been for the abnomal expense in that
direction, the profits of manufacturers would
have been much greater. It is estimated that
the cost of placing logs at the mill has increased
50 per cent. within three years. As matters
stood, the lumber business of the year was
conducted on a satisfactory margin of profit.

The domestic demand for lumber was heavy.
Manufacturing industries using lumber as their
raw material were operated to their full capac-
ity, and there was an expansion in building
operations, particularly in Manitoba and the
Territories, where an abundant crop of grain
was harvested. The figures of export trade
make a favorable comparison with the
previous year. Quebec and New Bruns-
wick show increased shipments to Great
Britain, Australia, South Africa and other dis-
tant countries, but the most substantial gain
was doubtless made in the United States trade,
of which complete statistics are not yet obtain-
able. The figures for the fiscal year ending
June 30th, and for the eleven months ending
November 3oth, 1902, not only reflect the in-
creased shipments, but also the advance in the
value of lumber. In the following table of
lumber exports to the United States for the
past ten fiscal years, the valuation is based on
the buying price in this country.

Excepting the year 1897, the shipments to

the United States in 1902 were the largest on
record. It may be pointed out that the large
trade in 1897 was due to the fact that the
Dingley bill took effect on July 24th of that
year, and every effort was made to get lumber
across the border before that date in order to
avoid the payment of a duty.

For the eleven months ending November
30th there were shipped from Canada to the
United States 689,765,000 feet of lumber, of a
value of $9,988,630, and 725,453,000 shingles,
ot a value of $1,451,713. The lumber business
showed an increase in shipments over 1901 of
26 per cent., and in value of 40 per cent. The
average price was $14.51 per thousand feet,
whereas in 1gor it was $13.70. The average
price of shingles was a trifle over $2 per thou-
sand, while in 1901 it was $1.89.

The advent of the year 1903 found very light
stocks in the hands of manufacturers, and the
past month has given every promise that the
prosperous conditions will continue throughout
this year at least. The outlook for building
and’railroad construction, and the condition of
foreign markets, offer little ground on which
to base the hope of decreased demand and
lower prices, although some slight recession
may be witnessed in the price of special stocks
which, on account of a temporary scarcity,
have been advanced too rapidly.

ONTARIO.

It would be difficult to find a lumber manu-
facturer in Ontario who is not well satisfied
with the trade of 1902. Both pine and hard-
woods were in splendid demand, and in this
respect the year differed from its predecessor,
when hardwoods were inactive and depressed.
Quick sales, high prices and fair settlements
were the rule, but the cost of manufacture in-
creased so enormously that only a small per-
centage of the increased revenue found its way
into the pockets of the manufacturers. Mill
stocks were held in strong hands and were
difficult to obtain,so that the profits of jobbers
were light. ;

Record prices were reached during the year
for the best grades of white pine, which were
in short supply. Clear and picks which in
1go1 sold from $25 to $34 per thousand were
readily saleable last year at from $35 to $45.
In common lumber there was an advance of
about $2 per thousand, while mill culls re-
mained about stationary. In the fall there
was an advance of $2 per thousand in red pine,
which earlier in the year had‘been quiet. Hem-
lock was heavily bought, bringing about $10
at the mill, a gain of $1. Lath and shingles
were in constant demand at an average ad-
vance of 15 and 25 cents respectively.

For well sustained and well distributed pros-
perity the year was about the best the hard-
wood trade has yet experienced. Price changes

were not erratic, but were in the direction of
an advance and of such a nature as to create a
belief in a further general appreciation in the
price of hardwood lumber. Basswood, black
ash andelm were the leaders,the former advanc-
ing in price about 15 per cent. The scarcity of
white pine for siding and interior finish brought
basswood ‘to the front as a substitute, and for
the past six months that lumber has been prac-
tically unobtainable.

Ontario exported an immense quantity of
lumber to the United States, that market
seemingly being more willing than Great
Britian to pay the advanced prices. It is es-
timated that upwards of 200,000,000 feet of
pine was shipped from the Georgian Bay dis-
trict to the States of Michigan and Ohio and
the city of Chicago. The Ottawa Valley pro-
duction found an outlet in the usual channels,
although a slightly larger quantity was" mark-
eted in the United States than in 1901.

The production of lumber was heavy. The
mills were pretty well supplied with logs and
continued in constant operation until late in
the season. Nevertheless, the demand was
sufficient to absorb the supply, and at the close
of the year the quantity of unsold stock was
exceptionally small. It is many years since
the stock of all kinds of lumber has been re-
duced to such a low point.

It is difficult to obtain accurate statistics ot

the white pine production, but the following
figures are believed to fairly represent the cut
of mills at the places named, which include the
leading pine producing points of what may,
broadly speaking, be termed the Georgian Bay
district :—

NoTE.-The above figures apply exclusively to the pro-
duction of pine at the points named, no account having
been taken of the cut of hemlock lumber, shingles, lath,
etc. In one or two instances where definite informa-
tion was not forthcoming, it has been assumed that the
cut was the same as in 1901.

Reliable returns go to show that the lumber
cut of the Ottawa district last year was in the
aggregate only slightly in excess of that of
the previous year, reaching 614,000,000 feet,
aS against 611,000,000 for 1901. Ross Bros’.
mill at Buckingham was operated in 1902 by
the McLaren Estate and the:cut is accordingly
included with that of the latter company’s mill,
making 25,000,000 in all.

QUEBEC.

The year 1902 opened with the outlook for
spruce lumber somewhat uncertain, but it was
not long before the dark clouds on the horizon
had disappeared and business was procecding
in a very satisfactory manner. Prices gradu-
ally sttengthened, especially for export stock,
and profits would have been much larger but
for the increased cost of production. Labor was
scarce and wages high. The cream of the
year’s business accrued to the manufacturers of
spruce clapboards, which brought $40 at the
mill as compared with $30 the previous year.
In hemlock there was an advance of $1, the
Stocks at the
close of the year are light in all grades, with
the inferior grades predominating.

The total trans-Atlantic shipments from the
province show a decline, in round numbers, of
39,000,000 feet. This is due chiefly to two
cause, namely, increased exports to the United

States, and the shipment of a large quantity ot
our lumber to Great Britain via United States
ports. Boston furnishes a striking illustration
of the latter, the figures of Canadian lumber
exports from that port for three years being as
follows :

There conbines to be extreme difficulty in ship-
ping through the St. Lawrence ports, and ex-
pecially Montreal, owing to high insurance
rates and inadequate loading facilities.

The record of Montreal lumber shipments
shows an increase of 18,000,000 feet, while
Quebec, Three Rivers and other St. Lawrence
ports are credited with a decrease of approxi-
mately 56,000,000 feet.

In board measure the total trans-Atlantic
shipments of timber, deals and sawn lumber
from port of Montreal for the past two years
were as follows :

Only 353,492 feet of lumber was shipped
from Montreal to South America.

The annual timber circular of J.B.Forsyth &
Company, compiled by E. J. Dalkin & Company,
gives the following particulars of the timber
trade of Quebec :

Wuite Ping.— Square shows a diminished
wintering stock, resulting froma decreased
supply, as the export has been about same as
the preceding year. In waney an increased
supply has been more than counterbalanced by
alarger export. In both the stockis again
the highest on record, with no probability of
an adequate production unless consumption is
checked by the repeated advances in price.

Rep Pine.—The supply and stock continue
to decrease, and it is quite evident that ina
few more years the manufacture and export of
this wood as Square timber will come to an end.

Oak.—The wintering stock shows a moder-
ate increase on the figures of last winter, which
were the lowest on record. The demand for
this wood is largely supplied by sawn scantling
and cheaper hewn oak from United States ports.
The present advance in price was necessary to
enable producers to continue making, and is
the first established for many years, but it must
not be forgotten that any considerable increase
in production would result in a reaction.

E_m.—The supply has fallen to little more
than half that of the preceding year. The
stock figures are quite misleading, as they in-
clude a large quantity of soft elm that has re-
mained unshipped over season. There is a
light stock of first-class rock elm, and unless
this wood is to go out of production the price
must materially advance.

on increased cost of manufacture and growing ~

scarcity of readily available wood has resulted
in a better demand at increased prices. It
must be remembered that in addition to Quebec
shipments considerable quantities are exported
from Portland in winter and Montreal in sum-
mer, and that such wood is similar to that
sent from this port.

Spruce Deats.—A large decrease is shown
in production and export, not only on last
year’s high figures, but also on preceding years.
Values have increased very materially, but do
not more than meet increased values of stump-
age and cost of production. The stock is
about similar to the very light one of last year.

THE MARITIME PROVINCES.

Without an exception the lumber manufac-
turers and shippers of the Maritime Provinces
report that the past year was more satisfactory
than its predecessor. Constant buying for
local and export trade kept the market steady
throughout the year, and the close of 1902
found prices of spruce lumber materially higher
than twelve months earlier. Clapboards,
which commenced to improve in the fall of
Ig01, continued to gain strength, and were
easily the feature of the year, closing with the
substantial advance in price of fully $6 per
thousand, the quotation for first quality on
Boston rate of freight being $43. The advance
was due solely to the scarcity of stock.

Ordinary spruce lumber for the United
States market made a gain for the year of
about $2 per thousand and hemlock lumber $1.
New Brunswick cedar shingles followed the
lead of clapboards, extras ending the year with
a gain of 50 cents per thousand and other
grades from Io to 20 cents.

Early in the year spruce deals for the British
market took a sharp rise, which was maintain-
ed throughout the season. In 1gor the ruling
price was $10.50, whereas last year most of
the stock realized from $11.50 to $12. Stocks
held over are light and consist largely of 8-inch
and under. South American specifications
were active and brought $1 per thousand more
than in 1901.

Turning to the volume of trade, we find that
New Brunswick shows an increase in trans-
Atlantic shipments of 53,000,000 feet, while
Nova Scotia is responsible for a decrease of
30,000,000 feet.

While New Brunswick shipments are more
than those of 1901,they are 36,000,000superficial
feet less than in 1900 and 41,000,000 superficial
feet less than in 1897,and only an average of the
years 1897 to 1901 inclusively. One-half of
the increase in the shipments from New Bruns-
wick occurs in St. John, and is largely on ac-
count of logs left in the brooks during the
spring of 1901, that could not be got to market
on account of poor freshets. The demand
made last winter for lumber to fill up the
winter port liners induced the rotary mills to
saw all the available stock within easy reach
of that port which also accounts to some extent
for this increase. Considerable increases also
appear in Dalhousie, Campbellton and Sack-
ville,

Miramichi shows a decrease of over 2,700
standards, and as the stock wintering on the
river this season is 7,500 standards less than
last year, and the operations not any greater
than last winter, which was all the mills could

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN :

The total production of the shingle mills of
British Columbia in 1902 was about 560,000,-
000.
_ Perhaps the Kootenay district furnishes the
best example of the growth of the saw-milling
industry in British Columbia. Six years ago
there was one small saw-mill in the East Koo-
tenay district south of the Columbia Lakes,
and valuable timber limits were passed by as
hardly worth noticing. Mills have since been
built all along the Kootenay, Moyie and Elk
valleys. It is estimated that the cut of the
coming season will aggregate 120,000,000 feet:
The capacity of the various mills is estimated
as follows: Cotton, at Crow’s Nest, 2,000,000
feet; Carbon Creek Lumber Company, 2,000,-
000; Fernie Lumber Company, 5,000,000;
Mott & Son Company, Fernie, 5,000,000; Ce-
dar Valley Improvement Company, Fernie and
Morrissey, 5,000,000; McCrea Lumber. Com-
pany, Coal Creek, 5,000,000; Robinson-Mc-
Kenzie Lumber Company, Cranbrook, 5,000,-
000; King Mercantile Company, Cranbrook,
5,000,000; Leask & Slater, Cranbrook, 5,000,-
000; Larrie Lumber Company and Finch &
Jones, Marysville, 4,000,000; East Kootenay
Lumber Company, four mills, 20,000,000;
Crow’s Nest Lumber Company, Wardner, 12,-
000,000; Moyie Lumber Company, Elk Mouth,
2,000,000. At Slocan the Ontario-Slocan
Lumber Company is building a mill to have
a daily capacity of 100,000 feet.

Only two companies were engaged in the
export trade, namely, the British Columbia
Mills, Timber and Trading Company, and the
Victoria Lumber and Manufacturing Company.
Their shipments aggregated about 56,000,000
feet, somewhat less than the total export trade
of Igo.

The loss in export trade was due to lighter
shipments to South America, China and Japan.
Whereas South America took approximately
13,000,000 feet in 1901, less than 9,000,000
feet was shipped to that country last year.
Upwards of 12,000,000 feet was shipped in
1go1 to China and Japan, an increase over last
vear of 7,000,000 feet. These losses were
made upin part by increased shipments to
South Africa, the trade with that country ex-
panding from 4,000,000 feet in 1901 to nearly
11,000,000 feet last year. The shipments to
Australia and Great Britain varied but little
from the previous year. The figures in detail
for two years are given below:

MANITOBA.

Early in the year it became evident that a
large quantity of lumber would be consumed
in Manitoba and the Territories. Manufac-
turers put forth their best endeavors to supply
the requirements of their customers, but the
buying in anticipation of good crops was ex-
tensive, and there developed a shortage in the
lumber supply. The demand was unprecedent-
ed, all classes of lumber being consumed in
large quantity. Building operations in Winni-
peg were of large volume, totalling in value
nearly three million dollars, and calling for
many million feet of lumber. There was
scarcely alullin trade until winter weather
brought about a cessation of outdoor work.
Manufacturers were always far behind with
orders for lumber, as is evidenced by the state-
ment of the manager of one company that
they always had unfilled orders on their books
for at least three hundred cars.

British Columbia lumber and shingles sold
freely in Manitoba, but very little stock was
imported from the United States. Prices were
advanced at different intervals, and stand ma-
terially higher at the close of the year.

COOPERAGE STOCK.

The Sutherland-Innes Company, Chatham,
Ont., furnish the following particulars of the
cooperage stock market in 1902:

The year has been a most unfavorable one
for getting out cooperage stock. While there
were fairly good stocks of timber put in at the
mills last winter, just as soon as these were

cut out there was nochance of getting any
more timber to the mills, consequently as soon
as the winter supply of logs was cut out the
mills had to close down. This curtailed the
production very ‘seriously, and the consequence
is at the present time there has been an entire
clean-up of cooperage stock in Canada. There
has been hardly anything at the miils except
No. 2 stock, of which the production last year
was very much larger proportionately than is
usual. The excess in the production of No. 2
staves was caused by the continual wet
weather throughout the season, which mildew-
ed and damaged staves that would otherwise
have gone into the No. ones, consequently the
percentage of No. ones from the staves cut
was very small this season.

The demand for all classes of stock has been
exceptionally good, there having been a splen-
did apple crop, and trade through the country
being excellent.

The supply of raw material in Canada has
been rapidly exhausted, and the prices of logs
and bolts are almost double what they were
five years ago.

On the whole the season.was not a very sat-
isfactory one for manufacturers of cooperage
stock, as while the prices during. the latter
part of the, season were very good, manufac-
turers had little or no stock to dispose of, it

taking about all of the stock of the manufac-

turers to supply their contracts and their regu-
lar customers. In the early part of the season
cooperage stock was sold at too low figures,
and the prominent manufacturers do not antici-
pate that stock will ever go down so low
again, in fact it would be impossible to sell
stock as low again except at a loss, on account
of the increase in the cost of raw material.

THE FORESTS OF RUSSIA.

The gradual deforestation of Russia is at-
tracting increased attention throughout the
Empire, and the Forestry Society as well as the
Forestry Department of the Ministry of Agri-
culture and Domains are discussing means for
regulating the consumption of timber and for
propagation. There does not seem to be any
great cause, however, for apprehension, as a
recent official report states that forests in
Russia now cover an area of 180,000,000
hectares (464,000,000 acres.) Among Euro-
pean countries Sweden comes next with 44,-
000,000 acres of forests. In Russia the forests
cover 36 per cent. of the whole area of the
country. The Swedish forests occupy 44 per
cent. of the total area,and the Austro-Hungari-
an 32 per cent. of the territory of the dual
monarchy. Reckoned by the population there
are 4.9 acres of forest to each inhabitant of
Russia, 9.5 acres in Sweden, 10.4 acres in
Norway, and .69 acre per head in Germany.
The forests have a greater importance for
Russians than for people of Western European
countries, as villages and country houses are
largely built of wood, stone and brick houses
being almost unknown, and the forests furnish
the main sources of fuel supply.—Journal of
the Society of Arts.

NATIONAL WHOLESALE LUMBER DEALERS’
ASSOCIATION.

Arrangements have been completed for hold-
ing the annual meeting of the above associa-
tion at the ‘‘“New Willard” hotel, Washington,
D.C., on March 4th and 5th. This meeting
will be one of the most important that has ever
been held. Many questions of interest to the
lumber trade in general will be discussed and
it is contemplated that important action will be
taken on several matters.

It is reported that C. P. Easton & Company, of Al-
bany, N.Y., have decided to build a saw mill on their
timber limits recently purchased in the province of Que-
bec.

exceptionally good medium for securing publicity, but is in-
dispensa ble for those who would bring themselves before the
notice of that class. Special attention is directed to ‘“WANTED”
and “‘ For SALE” advertisements, which will be inserted ina
conspicuous position at the uniform price of 15 cents per line
for each insertion. Announcements of this character will be
subject to a discount of 25 per cent. if ordered for four succes-
sive issues or longer. j t

Subscribers will find the small amount they pay for the
CANADA LUMBERMAN quite insignificant as compared with its
value to them. There is not an individual in the trade, or
specially interested in it, who should not be on our list, thus
biaining the present benefit and aiding and encouraging us to
render it even more complete.

LUMBER GRADING.

The remarkable activity in the lumber busi-
ness of late has served to accentuate the
necessity of uniform grading. It is well-
known that when business is good and prices
high the grades are usually lowered, this being
the case in some degree even where lawful
inspection is in vogue. Where every manu-
facturer makes his own grades, and they are
not subjected to the scrutiny of an official in-
spector, the opportunity is most favorable for
raising or lowering the grades according as
the demand is strong or otherwise. In times
such as the present, when lumber is difficult
to find, the limit to which this elastic process
may be carried is a very wide one. A person
in need of lumber will hesitate to returna
shipment even if it is deficient in quality unless
he is reasonably sure that he can obtain his
requirements from another source.

Buyers encountered undergrading quite fre-
quently during the past year. The activity in
the trade often made it advisable to purchase
stock without first making an inspection, and
as a result instances of disappointment were
quite common. The consequent loss usually
fell upon the dealer,as the consumer, requiring
a certain grade of lumber for a specific pur-
pose, would refuse to accept the grading or
was given a discount in lieu thereof. Where
the manufacturer deals directly with the con-
sumer he is generally closely in touch with his
requirements and regulates his grading accord-
ingly.

It is singular that no concerted effort hag

yet been taken by the lumbermen of Canada to
establish standard inspection rules which would
remedy the existing unsatisfactory conditions
and assist to give the business a prestige in
keeping with its importance. Visiting lum-
bermen from other countries invariably express
surprise that they are not able to obtain more
definite information as to the grading of
Canadian lumber. Perhaps the Ontario Lum-
bermen's Association, ac its forthcoming meet-
ing, will take the initiative.

COST OF PRODUCING WOOD-WORK,

The inventory taken at the close of 1902 by
the producers of wood-work for house finish
and general building purposes should have
shown a very substantial margin of profit on
the year’s business, as the volume of building
was large and factories were operated con-
tinuously. That such was the case, however,
is to be doubted, inasmuch as prices of wood-
work have not advanced in proportion to the
increased cost of the raw material. When
about four years ago the price of lumber
commenced to advance, it was anticipated
that there would be a corresponding rise in the
price of sashes, doors and other finished goods.
Contrary to expectations,there seemed to be a
disposition on the part of manufacturers to
adhere to the old lists, and it was with diff-
culty that even a slight advance was attained.
Proposals in the same direction have ever
since been received coolly and without unanim-
ity, so that the business of manufacturing
wood-work is to-day less profitable than it
should be.

In Toronto, and doubtless similar conditions

prevail elsewhere, dealers in lumber have

- found great difficulty in selling to the sash

and door manufacturers at a profit,the obstacle
being the low price at which the finished goods
are being sold. It has seemed to be the
object of the trade to endeavor to sell their
products as low as possible, with little regard
to the increased cost of production so long as
there was a margin of profit on the year’s
business. While manufacturers in most other
branches of industry have benefitted by the
recent prosperity, and have strengthened their
position so as to withstand the reverses of
possible years of depression, the producers of
wood-work have pursued a policy of manage-
ment tending to ultimately bring disaster.

' Within the last three years the selling price
of finished wood-work has advanced perhaps
fifteen per cent. This compares with an ad-
vance ranging from twenty-five to fifty per
cent. in the cost of the raw material. Lumber
which three years ago could be bought for
fourteen dollars to-day brings twenty dollars ;
machinery and labor are much higher in cost ;
while the value of pine timber. stumpage has
increased nearly fifty per cent. In the face of
these conditions it seems singular that the
manufacturers of wood-work do not come
together and agree upon a price basis by which
they would share to a reasonable extent in the
prevailing prosperity.

These remarks express the sentiment of
many persons engaged in the lumber trade,
and of some manufacturers of wood-work, It

is to be hoped that this sentiment, which is
gradually growing, will soon become sufficiently
strong to remedy the unsatisfactory conditions.

FIRE INSURANCE RATES.

The dissatisfaction in lumber circles with
fire insurance rates on saw mills and allied
risks still exists. The present method of
rating is very unpopular and is claimed to be
unjust; m that it does not allow the policy
holder due benefit from precautions taken to
render his property free from danger of fire.
The lumber mutual insurance companies of
the United States give special attention to
fixing a rare in proportion to the risk involved
in each individual case, and on this ground
seem to offer more reasonable terms. By such
a system every policy holder makes the rate
for himself in the precautions he adopts to
protect his property. Another advantage in
this method is the resultant smaller number of
fires, as it is well known that in the event of
fire the loss is not alone in the actual damage,
but in the inconvenience and loss of articles,
documents, etc., which sometimes cannot be
replaced.

The manufacturers of British Columbia have
taken a wise step in their purpose to investi-
gate the causes of fires in dry kilns. It is
intended to build a sample kiln and make
exhaustive tests, the results of which will be
awaited with In connection with
insurance rates it would appear that certain
Canadian companies have found it cheaper to
carry their insurance. The Montreal
Street Railway Company, for instance, have,
after a thorough investigation, adopted this
policy, and at the last annual meeting set aside
the sum of $100,000 for the purpose. It may
be that the lumber fraternity will find it
advisable to adopt a similar course unless
more equitable and reasonable rates are given
by the insurance companies.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The facts presented in last issue relating
to the export of British Columbia shingles to
the United States are a strong commendation
of the manufacturing methods of Canadian
millmen. There is unanimity in the statements
as to the better qualitv of the Canadian red
cedar shingle which would seem to substan-
tiate the claim beyond all doubt. In the
British Columbia mills upright machines are
used exclusively. These operate comparatively
slowly, and turn out a product second to
none. In the United States it seems that
quality has been sacrificed to quantity, with
the result that the Canadian shingle commands
from 25 to 50 cents per thousand more than
the home product in that market.

Some time ago there was a great splurge of adver-
tising by the Atlantic Pulp and Paper Company, a
$3,000,000 corporation of Canada that had some stock
to sell. The public did not show any enthusiasm in the
matter,and now the newspapers that carried the ‘‘ads”
are entering up judgments for the amounts of their
bills, plus court costs, etc.—Paper Trade Journal.

Our contemporary has only told half the
truth. The so-called ‘‘$3,000,000 corporation
of Canada” was a United States concern, in-
corporated in the State of New Jersey by A. L.
Meyer, B. P. Moore and F. G. Smith, all of
New York city. The fate of the company
would probably have been different if it had

been backed by Canadian capitalists,

Mr. John Waldie, president of the Ontario
Association of Lumbermen, when asked for his
opinion with reference to the request for an
export duty on pulp wood, said: ‘Aleteam
strongly in favor of allowing each province to
build up its industries. Any enactment made
at Ottawa dealing with the properties of a
province would not likely be as permanent as if
the province acted for itself. For instance,
what in an international treaty suited the Mari-
time Provinces might not suit Ontario, and to
get fish free into the American market would
not suit Ontario, if procured at the sacrifice of
the manufacturing conditions for wood pro-
ducts in the country. The export duty would
be considered an offensive enactment by the
United States, and would at once bring into
operation the double duty clauses of the Mc-

0900

Kinley bil, which were specially inserted to

prevent the export duty, while the provincial
enactments to compel manufacturing are de-
fensive measures to protect and develop our
own industries. Between an offensive action
and a defensive action, the latter is our better
position.”

A gentleman always on the alert for good
sound ideas representing an advance in manu-
facturing methods had before him when I
entered his office a copy of the December Lum-
BERMAN, with the article relative to Killam’s

ed pencil, presumably in order that it should
receive a little consideration at his hands in a

I think that Mr. Killam’s circular
mill would be likely to increase the quantity of
waste and produce more thick and thin lumber
than is the case with the ordinary single-cut-
ting saw. I know that some trouble in this
direction has been experienced by the double-
cutting band, and while it may be possible to
turn out the lumber equally as good as by the
single saw, this I beleive can only be done by
giving extra care and attention tg the saws

and having nien to operate them who are ex-

pert sawyers of the first order.” There is no
doubt but that the tendency towards increased
output may show itself in a poorer quality of
lumber. This, however, is a question which
has not yet been definitely settled so faras
the double-cutting bands and circulars are con-
cerned, andit is unfair to condemn them before
they are put to the test.

_ D. H.and J. N. Talford at one time operated
a retail lumber yard at Danvers, Minnesota,
but a few years ago moved to Winnipeg and
purchased a small mill located on Lake Winni-
peg. They have been sawing a quality of
timber not altogether to their liking, so have
been on the lookout for anew limit. This they
recently secured on the Saskatchewan river,
chiefly spruce of a good grade. The

timber will be floated down the Saskatchewan
river to Prince Albert, where they have pur-
chased and are remodelling a saw mill. Mr.
D. H. Talford was in Minneapolis last month
and expressed himself as in every way satisfied
with his venture into Canadian territory.
Speaking of the Northwest, he said that a few
years ago when he first contemplated going up
there his friends were inclined to consider him
an object for sympathy on account of having to
undergo the frigid temperature of the sub-Arctic
region. Even now, when the wonderful tide
of immigration has made that territory well
known, few realize its almost boundless extent.
While cruising through the timber in the
summer Mr. Talford became acquainted with a
missionary from the far north. He told him of
a little settlement up in that section where they
had been able to raise over forty bushels of
wheat to the acre. This was over a thousand
miles above the international boundary line.

Mr. S. Gagne, whose father is a large pulp
wood contractor in the Lake St. John dis-
trict of Quebec,recently gave me some particu-
lars regarding the pulp development in that
territory. The Chicoutimi Pulp Company, he
says, are greatly extending their works at Chi-
coutimi, and when completed expect to have an
establishment second to none. There are four
other pulp concerns in the Lake St. John dis-
trict. The Jonquieres Pulp Company have a
mill about ten miles above Chicoutimi, on the
Riviere aux Sables, built about two years ago.
It is now largely controlled by Messrs. Price
Bros., of Quebec, who are said to have de-
cided to build a large paper mill in connection
therewith. The mill of the Metabetchouan
Pulp Company is located on the river of that
name and on a branch of the Quebec and Lake
St. John Railway. Then there is the mill of
the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company at Ouiatchouan
Falls, which was described in the December

MICHIGAN’S LUMBER INDUSTRY.
By OUR TRAVELLING REPRESENTATIVE.
(Continued from last issue).

At one ofthe lumber mills lasked where the town of
Muskegon got its name. One man volunteered the infor-
mation that it was taken from the Indian word‘Muskeg,’
meaning a swamp, as the lower part of the city was
formerly aswamp. But another lumberman said ‘‘No,
it was called Muskegon because of a party of Indians
and white traders who in going up the river accidently
lost a musket and one of the Indians or traders said
““Musket-gone.” You can take your choice of the two—
I can’t attempt to decide.

From Muskegon I passed through Sparta (famed
for peaches), on to Greenville (famed for potatoes). At
the latter place they say they have the largest export
ot potatoes of any county in the United States. At the
hotel a farmer told me they had taken 29 bushels of
apples from one of his trees—other prominent men
vouched for this. But what will make Greenville
famous is the Gordon Hollow Blast Grate Company.
This concern is not only of interest to all lumber mill
owners, but of interest to all consumers of fuel. They
have a great thing and ought to do a big Canadian
business. Greenville has at least one real live lumber
industry, and that is the John J. Foster Lumber Com-
pany, who are well-known as an old established firm.

At Detroit I saw Mr. Ed. Hall, of the Detroit Mill,
Brownlee & Company, Detroit Lumber Company,
Fred. W. May,Galloway-Pease Company,H. Wineman,
Jr., Moyer & Montgomery, McArthur Bros. Company,
Ltd., Fred. G. Ross, and a few other lumbermen. Most
of these handle considerable quantities of Canadian
pine. Some of the old companies have gone under, as
in the Saginaw Valley (where I found three old lumber
companies who are now engaged in the beet-root sugar
industry). The Detroit Lumber & Timber Company
have sold their Arkansas limits. Detroit is a good
point for Canada lumber, and ought to be a good
distributing point, but it cannot come up to Toledo or
Cleveland in that respect. It may later on.

One of the well-known millionaire lumbermen of
Michigan was the late Charles T. Hills, who died at
Muskegon three weeks ago. He started into the
lumber business in 1641, by riving shingles near Grand
Rapids. At this time shingles were all made by hand.
In 1852, with his brother Charles, he went to Muskegon,
built a shanty and commenced business as a shingle
weaver. Then for 12 years he was a clerk for the
lumber firm of Ryerson & Norris. In 1865 he became
a partner in the firm of Ryerson, Hill & Company. In
1887 he was sole manager. While in Muskegon I had
abundant testimony to the personal worth and integrity
of this grand old man.

Although ‘‘the woods” in Michigan is now confined
to a very small area, there has been a scarcity of labor
both in the upper Peninsula and Wisconsin. The reaj
“‘lumberjacks” are not as numerous as they were a few
years ago. It is not that the wages are not high
enough, but the hardy Canadians who were the
best woodsmen have gone further west or drifted into
‘something better.’”’ These men have turned their
attention to other kinds of labor. Their place is being
taken by an entirely different type of man. Foreigners,
principally Swedes and Finlanders, who have not been
in the country long, have been hired by lumber oper-
ators. But they are not like the ‘‘lumberjack” of old
days, the men who were seldom known to wear mittens
or coat even on the coldest days, and whose constitu-
tions were like iron.

“The Woodman’s Hand-book’” is the title of a very
useful work issued by the Bureau of Forestry of the
United States Department of Agriculture. It is from
the pen of Henry Solon Graves, Director of the Yale
Forestry School ‘and brings together information of much
value to the lumberman and forester alike. It contains
different rules for computing the contents of logs, infor-
mation concerning the volnme of standing trees, the
rate of their growth, and the future yield cf forests,
as well as methods of estimating standing timber.

THE

TREATMENT OF SECOND-GROWTH WHITE
PINE. *
By WALLACE I. HuTCHINSON, Wolfville, N.S.
(Continued from January issue.)

There can be no set rule as to what space of
time shall elapse between thinnings. The
quicker the growth, the shorter the interval
between cuttings during the early life of the
tree, the time being gradually lengthened as
the trees advance in age. Common sense will
have to govern largely on this point. The ex-
pense ot thinning can be almost eliminated by
the sale of the trees to be used in box-board
manufacture, in southern
white pine for box boards being worth from
$6 to $10 per thousand. Under no conditions
should brush wood be left in the forest, as it
greatly increases the danger from fire. If the
work of thinning iscarefully carried out, a

New Hampshire

stand of white pine should be ready for the

market in thirty or forty years, while by that
titne the ground will be in good condition for
a seed-bed.

Cutting for reproduction should be carried
on with considerable care and forethought. A

tew select trees, varying in number from ten to
thirty per acre, may be left on the cut-over area
to seed the ground, or a small lot may be cut
clear and the ground allowed to seed itself from
the surrounding trees. In the latter case the
seed trees should be left on the windward side,
so that the seeds can readily blow into the open

when there are indications ofa good seed year.

While the white-pine seedings are still small,
Grey Birch (Betula pepulifolia) is almost sure
to come in, and, as it grows much more rapidly
than the pine, soon overtops the latter trees
(Fig. 5). The birch should be allowed to re-
main only as long as it is of material aid to the
After the pines are old
enough to take care of themselves the birch
should be removed.

Even aged stands ina natural forest are rare,
as the whole of a denuded areais seldom seeded
at once. In a natural forest, therefore, cutting
should begin by taking out the mature trees
first, thus allowing those that remain to-quicken

their growth through the increased amount of

ADJUSTABLE LOG SIDING
MACHINE.

A machine which would slab opposite
sides of a log at one operation, and do it
peitecily and rapidly, has long been
wanted. For certain uses the ‘‘ :
has been applied with success, but it has
in many cases a decided disadvantage in
that it is a machine which planes off
opposite sides of the log, reducing what
might be slabs, with some value for the
manufacture of shingles or lath, into chips.
The Rodgers Iron Mfg. Company, of
Muskegon, Mich., have a log siding ma-
chine with which the saws can be adjusted

so that no time will be lost in passing from
one size of logs to another.

The object of this machine is, of course,
to take care of a small class of timber or
bolts which cannot be profitably manufac-

tured with a band saw or circular mill,
also for the manufacture of ties and pre-
paration of material for

Close upon two thousand logs
have been sided with this machine in a

will be in great demand as the logs from
year to year become much smaller. Mr.

secretary and manager, Mr. W. F. Chry-

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.

ONTARIO.

The situation in respect to white pine is
becoming an interesting one. This week
we chronicle an advance in. the Ottawa
quotations for several of the common
grades, with more liberal buying than has
been reported for some time. The hesita-
tion of buyers which was in evidence in
early January has given place to a strong
desire to contract for stock at late quota-
tions, but in some instances manufacturers
are putting out new lists showing a sub-
stantial advance. The recent mild weather
is responsible in part for the higher values.
In certain logging districts the snow has
almost entirely disappeared and efforts to
get logs out of the woods have been
abandoned, temporarily at least. Should
these conditions continue for any length of
time the result will be serious to lumber-
men, most uf whom have many logs yet to
haul to the streams. Much higher prices
for the season’s cut of lumber may be
expected in case there should be a shortage
in the log input. :

Many buyers are in the market for mili
cuts. Some have conceded the demands
of the manufacturers and closed con-
tracts at $20 for log run. Others are still
negotiating in the hope of making a better
bargain. The price of log run, however,
has become quite firmly established at $20
for logs averaging ten to the thousand
feet and $22 for an average of eight to the
thousand. The latter figure is by no
means the maximum, as we are advised of
the sale of an entire season’s cut of log
run at $30 f.o.b. rail of vessel Georgian
Bay point. The particulars have not been
learned, but it is safe to assume that the
logs are exceptionally large and of excel-
lent quality.

Hardwood lumber continues in good
demand. There is very little bartering
over price, the buyer usually being willing
to accept the manufacturer’s quotation
whenever he finds suitable stock. The
tendency of prices is upwards.

prices will go lower for the next month or
two. ‘The latter argue that the local yards
throughout New England bought heavily
in the fall on the belief that prices were
_ going to be higher, and that they have now
a large stock of shingles on hand. Fur-
ther, the mills will probably make large
cuts during the spring and
These conditions may bring about lower
prices, bnt if they do they will be only

summer.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,

While the movement of lumber through-
out the West is not heavy, dealers are
figuring on large orders for the coming
season, and the prospects are considered
to be very bright for an active trade. Con-

ditions generally are satisfactory, the only —

_ drawback being tlie policy of cutting prices
which has been resorted to by representa-
tives of Minnesota manufacturers. The
new price list on white pine will shortly be
put into effect.

If prospective building operations may

_ be taken as the criterion of the lumber
trade, the mills will be taxed to their ut-
most to supply the demand. Many new
buildings are projected in Winnipeg, and
in the country districts there promises to
be considerable activity. It is announced
that the North-West Elevator Company
will build forty-one grain elevators through-
out Manitoba and the Territories, at an
approximate cost of $1,700,000. These
alone will call for a large quantity of lum-
b®r. In British Columbia lumber and
shingles are in good demand. A large
quantity of lumber is being consumed in
the construction of new canneries. Prices
are steady.

UNITED STATES.

The only important news affecting white
pine comes from Minneapolis, where there
is a strong disposition to advance the
price of dimension The situation in re-
spect to that grade is especially strong,
particularly in view of the advance made
by the southern manufacturers, and at the
Association meeting to be held on Febuary
17th, an effort will be made to advance the
price at least 50 centsper thousand. All
grades of white pine are firm and there is
no doubt that the available dry stock will
be required before the new cut is ready
for the market. Buffalo and Tonawanda
dealers are purchasing quite heavily in the
vicinity of Duluth, prices being about as
recently quoted. In the Buffalo market
there is an increased shortage of cuts and
better. The supply of 12 inch box is prac-
tically exhausted, having been used largely
in place of No. 3 barn, which is selling at
$23. There is every prospect of an active
' spring demand for white pine, with pro-

bably higher prices as the supply of dry
stock becomes depleted.
Another week has brought
strength to hardwoods of all kinds.. At
the annual meeting of the National Hard-
wood Manufacturers’ Association, held in
Cleveland last week, the prices of oak, ash,
elm, poplar and other hardwoods were
- advanced quite sharply, but it seemed to
be the opinion of those present that the
advances were fully warranted by the
conditions. With dry lumber it is not a
question of price so much as where the
stock can be found. Birch is a good sel-
ler and in light supply, while basswood
has been out of the market for some time.

increased

GREAT BRITAIN.

The timber market of Great Britain has

been strengthened by the recent attitude
of Scotch buyers, who are showing a de-
sire to purchase quite heavily at current
quotations. Asa result prices of white-
wood have been advanced at least five
shillings per standard. In the London
market there continues to be a deadlock
between shippers and importers, and up to
the present time a very small percentage
of the North of Europe production has been
placed. Representatives of Canadian
shippers have been more successful, al-
though some importers refuse to pay £10
for second quality spruce c.if., and £9
5s for third quality 3x9, which prices are
being asked. They are endeavoring to
force shippers to reduce these figures by
at least five shillings per standard. There
is, however, a just appreciation of the
strong statistical position of Canadian pine
and spruce, as in the last issue of the Tim-

ber Trades Journal we find the folliowng :

“The position in Canadian woods and the
sales made, perhaps, may throw some light
on the position as regards other ports.
Red pine, has been sold at £12 tos. c.i.f.,
and the advance in white pine is even
greater. First quality ends and 7 to 10 in.
have been sold at £22 f.0.b.; and the same
percentage of advance applies to all other
qualities and sizes with, possibly, the ex-
ception of second quality, of which sales
have been made c.i.f. at £19 10s. for 11
inch, 12 to 16 ft., and £14 1os. for 7 to 10 in.,
1o to 16 feet. Third regulars have been
sold at £13 c.i.f. As the stock in Great
Britain of red and white pine is probably
at least 5,000 Petersburg standards short
of what it was this time last year, and the
stock in Canada is reported to be even
lighter than the small stock wintering last
season, the position would appear to be
very strong.” Birch Timber is strong, the
average price at a recent auction sale
being 20d for 14% inch.

in this latest advance, and it would be
well for all interested to take note. It
furnishes proof, if further be necessary,
that no break may be looked for in the
lumber market before next autumn at the
earliest. Jobbers are searching in all
directions for future cut, and long before
the saws commence their song the big end
of the cut will be off the market.

A glance over to-day’s quotations in

Thanks to the precautions taken by the
Provincial Government and lumber oper-

frost and snow, which have made good

THE TEMISCAMING DISTRICT.
Editor CANADA LUMBERMAN :

Dear Sir,—When I received the December edition of
THE LuMBERMAN I noticed on the first page an illustra-
tion of a burnt forest in the Temiscaming district which
called to my mind what I personally observed during
my nine weeks visit to this same district last summer,
and probably the following remarks may be of some
interest to those who have not had the opportunity of
travelling through this wonderful new country. On my
arrival I was greatly taken up with the fine class of
people who have ventured into this new land to hew
out a home for themselves and their children. The
impression which generally prevails amongst old
Ontario men is that the Temiscaming is a great wilder-
ness of rocky mountains and ravines, but I must con-
fess that I was somewhat surprised to find a very level
country, no mountains or ravines, but all clay soil fit to
grow any grain sown on it. I have seen soil taken out
of a well 17 feet deep and spread on the ground, which
produced oats to the height of five feet. I have reason
to doubt if the soil in old Ontario at 3 feet deep would
give any better crop, or even as good. The district is
most beautifully watered by small rivers and lakes.

The town of New Liskeard, no doubt the coming
county town of West Nippising, is located on the
the beautiful bay on picturesque Lake Temiscaming,
and Wahby river flows down through the centre of
the town and empties into the lake, and about three
miles up this river there is a small stream from the

south, whichis fed from a large lake about 300 feet
above the level of the ‘‘Temiscaming”’. I walked up
this stream about 2% miles and found in this distance
no less than four water powers ranging from ten to
twenty teet with any amount of water.

As you go up the Temiscaming about ten miles you
come to White river, which flows from the north-west.
This river is most beautiful, its width varying but little
from the mouth where it empties in the lake to the head
or rather to the falls, which is about 4o miles up. It is
very straight, and the depth of water ranging trom 15
to go feet. This river flows through a fine tract or
clay land mixed with sandy loam. It is all settled
along each side by men making farms for themselves.
I bush-travelled over 35 miles of this country, examining
the timber, and I was somewhat disappointed to find the
timber very small, the average being about 15 inches.
I expected to find large timber but ouly found such of
white pine. The forest consists of spruce, cedar,

tamarack, white birch, ash, elm and oak. I did not
see in all my travels one hemlock, beech or hard maple
tree, and I do not believe there are any in Temiscaming
district. The spruce grows very close together on
high land and is mixed with tamarack, which is prin-
cipally alldead. The cedar is large. On the stoney
ridges I saw trees from 2 feet to 4 feet on the butt.
The white birch grows about 12 inches on butt on flat
land, along with poplar, whitewood, elm and ash. Oak
only grows on the White river tract, the variety being
what we call white oak, very coarse in the grain.

I do not think that the Temiscaming will ever make
a lumbering district for large logs and square timber—
only for poles, ties and pulp wood for the Ottawa

fe

Powder, Syrup in tins, pails, kegs, half barrels, etc , and in fact everything that you require, :
ie

a

Valley, any quantity of this kind of timber. Those
who like to bush tramp ought to take a few weeks in
that new country and examine both soil and timber and
you will never rue the time or money spent, and I warn
you not to go out in sand-fly time.
Yours truly,
JAMES YORK.

PULP SHIPMENTS.

The annual export shipments of Canadian
pulp are increasing very rapidly, and the re-
ports for 1902 show a very favorable season’s
business. The future prospects of this indus-
try are most encouraging.

Shipments made by the Belgo-Canadian Pulp
Company, Shawinigan Falls, to Europe, from
Three Rivers and Quebec, are as follows :—

AMtWErp., <1 se... 12,855 tons wet pulp.
Antwerp.......... 1,894 tons dry pulp.
Manchester....... 808 tons dry pulp.
EMG oxctefe erste rete 954 tons wet pulp.
Newcastle........ 394 tons wet pulp.

With a large demand for Canadian wood
pulp from all parts of the world, this new indus-
try will soon become one of the leading features
in regard to exports from the St. Lawrence

ports.

THE BRITISH PULP MARKET.
The official returns of the imports of wood

pulp into Great Britain during the first eleven

~\ months of 1902 were ona larger scale than dur-
ing either of the two previous years, but the

value shows a depreciation. The total quantity
imported in that period was 469,882 tons, as
compared with 404,581 tons in 1go1. The
chemical pulp consisted of 165,026 tons of dry
and 120,002 tons of wet pulp. Of the mechani-
cal pulp imported 283,956 tons were wet and
8,898 tonsdry. The Scandanavians continued

to enjoy a monopoly of the British market, al- ©

though the Chicoutimi Pulp Company, Belgo-
Canadian Pulp Company, St. John Sulphite
Fibre Company and other Canadian firms ex-
ported largely to Great Britain.

Prices of chemical wood pulp were weak dur-
ing the year. Business was difficult to arrange
owing to the opposite views of sellers and
buyers in regard to prices. The first quota-
tions were at £8 to 487s6d per ton, and
later an advance was made of 2s 6d to 5s, but
it was not maintained. The market became
depressed, prices falling in August to the low
level of £7 10s and advancing towards the

close of the year to 47 15s.

MILL AND HYDRAULIC ENGINEER

PULP AND PAPER MILLS.

The conditions mentioned affecting chemical
pulp will apply also to mechanical pulp. Early
in the year 50 per cent. moist (white) was
quoted at £2 10s to £2 15s, and dry pine £5
10s to £5 15s. Subsequently the low level of
42 2s 6d for moist and £4 10s to 44 158 for
dry pine was reached. These prices continued
until the close of the year, and at the present
time the market is weak.

PULP INDUSTRY OF THE DOMINION.

An interesting lecture on the wood pulp in-
dustry of Canada was recently given by Prof.
D. P. Penhollow, of McGill University, Mon-
treal,in the assembly hall of the Normal School,
Ottawa, under the aupsices of the Field Natural-
ists.

The professor, in beginning, spoke briefly on
the manufacture of paper in Japan. For a
great length of time Japanese paper has been
famous for its toughness, yet fineness of tex-
ture and the manufacture of it has received
much attention from Europeans. They found
they manufactured it from the pulp of the mul-
berry tree. The manufacture of paper out of
pulp,the professor said, was of great antiquity,
yet only quite recently discovered inthis country.

He next referred to the enormous growth of
the pulp industry in the United States and Can-
ada during the last decade or so. Beginning
with 1880 there were only 50 mills in the United
States in 1890, while in 1900 the number
had increased to 763, the value of the output
being estimated at $167,000,000. While the
devolopment of the industry did not begin so
early as across the line, yet in the past few
years it has received an immense impetus, a
tidal wave of progression has seemed to sweep
over the industry, and mills of enormous size
have sprung up, as if by magic, in various
parts of Canada. He also described in detail
the manufacture of paper and by means of views
carried onas it were the progress of manu-

facture.

PULP NOTES.
The price of ground wood pulp in the United States
is about $13 to $14 per ton at the producer's mill.

Price Bros. & Company, of Quebec, are constructing
a large pulp mill at Rimouski, to cost about $250,000.

The Trois Pistoles Pulp & Lumber Company, of
Trois Pistoles, Que., has applied for a charter of
incorporation.

The Union Power & Pulp Company, Limited, has
been incorporated by the British Columbia Government,
The capital is $25,000.

T. G. McMullen, of Truro, N.S., has in view the
erection of large pulp and paper mills at Union, where
a large dam has been built.

The annual meeting of the Chicuotimi Pulp Company
was held in Quebec on January 8th, at which a semi-
annual dividend of 4 per cent. was declared.

The North River Pulp & Lumber Company is making
arrangements to commence the erection of a pulp mill
at Murray, N.S., in the spring. It is proposed also to
erect a large saw mill.

The British Canadian Pulp Company, Limited, are
offering their stock to British capitalists. The com-
pany is capitalized at $500,000 and proposes to erect a
pulp mill at North Bay, Ont.

Incorporation has been granted to the Imperial Pulp
Company, Limited, of Toronto, with a capital of
$90,000. The incorporators include J. H. Spence,
J. R. L. Starr, A. W. Hunter and D. W. P. Hardistry,
all of Toronto.

Considerable shipments of wood pulp are being made
from Europe to the United States. The Zellstoff Fabrik
Waldhof, with extensive mills in Germany and Russia,
has increased its production from 60 tons to 120 tons |
per day, and is one of the leading exporters.

Negotiations are on foot between the Reid-New-
foundland Company and certain capitalists for the
leasing of timber limits of the former with the object of
starting pulp and paper mills. Grand Lake, Dear
Lake and Codroy Valley are the centres where mills
are likely to be built.

The Quebec Official Gazette contains notice of the
incorporation of the Riviere Quelle Pulp & Lumber
Company, with a capital stock of $100,000. The
incorporators include Hon. John Sharples, William
Power, Gerald Power and Patrick B. Murphy, all of
Quebec city. The company’s timber limits are in the
counties of Kamouraska and L’Islet.

The publishers of newspapers in the United States
are making a strong effort to nave the duty on wood
pulp removed, and to that end propose to send a strong
delegation to place the matter before Congress. The
publishers will make a strong point of the fact that as
it is now necessary to import heavily from Canada, the
duiy has become a burdensome tax on an important
domestic industry.

The Ontario Government has approved of a new —
pulp concession in the name of the Rainy River Pulp
& Paper Company, of which Hon. George E. Foster
and W. J. Elliott, barrister, of Toronto, are directors.
The company bind themselves to expend $75,000

within 2% years in building a mill on Turtle Lake,
above Fort Frances, on the Rainy River, and to make
at least 20 tons of pulp daily. Their concession covers
an area of about 100 square miles on waters tributary
to the Rainy River.

A syndicate of American capitalists has been negoti-
ating for the purchase of the Robitaille limits in the
County of Bonaventure, Quebec Province. The pro-
perty is 300 square miles in extent and is said to be
worth half a million dollars, although the Robitailles
are believed to have paid for it only $8 per square mile.

After nearly a year of experimenting A. Cushing &
Company, of St. John, N.B., have succeeded in a
process which converts the waste of their sawmill into
a pulp that is used in the manufacture of cardboard. It
is not an entirely new process, but is new so far as the
pulp industry in the eastern provinces is concerned.
The firm have built a small mill in connection with their
sawmill, which takes all the waste, even to the bark.
The particular machine in use is the joint invention of
Capt. Ellis, former manager of the big Cushing pulp
mill, and Geo. S. Cushing, and they have got it
patented. The firm will probably add a cardboard
plant. They would then have sawmill, box mill, pulp
mill and cardboard mill under the one management.

Westinghouse type ‘“‘F” motors are to be used to drive
the variablé speed shaft of the paper machines, and two
75 horse-power, type ‘‘C’’ motors will drive the con-
stant speed line shaft of the same machines. Another
75 horse-power, type “C” motor will operate other
machinery in the mill. A 15 horse-power induction
motor will be direct connected to a triplex pump; one
of 10 horse-power will drive the wet machines; a zo
horse-power motor will drive the agitators for the
clay-mixing tanks and a 30 horse-power motor will
drive the conveyors. The contract has been placed
with the Westinghouse Electric & Mfg. Company, and
includes also a 560 kilowatt, revolving field alternator,
designed to be direct connected to a water wheel, with
the exciter, switchboard and instruments to accompany
the generator. The engineer and designer of the
Sturgeon Falls plant is Mr. George F. Hardy.

Representatives of the pulp and paper manufacturing
companies of the Dominion had an interview with Mr.
Parent, Premier of Quebec, on January 25th. They en-
deavored to secure the Premier's support for their peti-
tion to the Federal Government, asking for an export
duty on spruce logs and pulp wood at the rate of $1 per
cord tor the first year, $1.50 for the second year, $2 for
the third year, and $3 for the fourth year and subse-
quent year. Accord to be of 128 cubic feet. Of the

duty collected, 90 per cent. would be returned by the
Féderal Goverfment to the land owners of the Govern-
ment of the provinces from which the pulpwood would
be taken. The Federal Government would retain ten
percent. to defray expensers of collecting, etc.

Capt. Ellis, late manager of the Cushing Sulphite
Pulp Company, and Mr. George S. Cushing, head of
the Andre Cushing lumber business, St. John, N.B.,
have patented a machine which, if it proves successful
in its operation, will be a money-saver for lumber mill
owners all over the country. The machine is a pulp
grinder, and takes the small waste of a mill, grinding
it into a pulp suitable for cardboard. One of these
machines is now in operation at the Cushing mill near
St. John, and mill men who have seen it express the
belief that it will in time become one of the adjuncts of
every saw mill. The machine’s great advantage is that
it takes all kinds of waste, with or without bark, and
grinds it into a pulp from which cardboard can be
made. Pulp men say the cardboard is of an excellent
variety. The machine is simple in construction, easy
and inexpensive to operate, and will make profitable an
immense qnantity of material that has heretofore been
burned on the refuse piles of the saw mills. With the
installation of this machine for the small waste, and a
box machine for the larger waste,gthe Cushing Com-
pany are utilizing about all their product.

—A number of lumbermen who put logss into the Ver-
million river and its tributaries have organized the Ver-
million Boom Company. It is the intention to improve
the stream and drive the output under one organization,
instead of each firm looking after its own logs as hereto-
fore. It ts estimated there is one billion feet of timber

to come out of the different streams.

— The annual meeting of the British Columbia Log-
gers’ Association, was held on December 27th, when
officers were elected as follows: W. H. Higgins, presi-
dent; J. S. Emerson, vice-president; H. G. Ross, secre-

—Itis reported that a large saw mill, with one ex-
ception operated entirely by Chinese labor and owned
by Chinese capitalists of Vancouver and Victoria, is to
be erected on Burrard Inlet. The one exception to the
operation of the mill entirely by Chinese is that of the
engineer, who will have to be a white man, as no
Chinese have yet taken out papers as stationary engi-
ueers, as required by the provincial government.

—The Hanbury Manufacturing Company, of Bran-
don, Man., are about to establish a saw mill at Crow's
Nest Pass Railway,in the Rocky Mountains, where the
company have purchased limits. A portable mill cap-
able of cutting about 20,000 feet per day wiil be used,
For lumber manufacturing in the mountains it has been
found cheaper to use a portable mill than a Stationary
one, being more economical to move the mill to the tim-
ber than to bring the timber to the mill. The company
will manufacture cedar, mountain tamarac and other
varieties of timber, the product being shipped to their
headquarters at Brandon... They are. Hse extending

their system of branch yards, waich will horelton ‘te? 4
ten in number, distributed over a wide area. Notwith- s
standing that the company lost a considerable quantity

of logs by freshets last spring, they have done a very —
large business during the past year, and, as above stat-_

ed, are now making arrangements to apaatly enlarge
their operations during 1903.

—A meeting of the Provisional Committee of the
Reading Camp Association was held at Lindsay recert-

company’s manufacturing plant.

The B. Greening Wire Company, of Hamilton, have

the date figures being large and discernible at a con-
siderable distance. During last year extensive additi-
tions and improvements were made to the company’s
factory and offices.

The attention of our readers who buy machinery is
called to the full page advertisement in this issue of the

Messrs. Boynton & Company, 67 West Washington ,
street, Chicago, have issued an attractive catalogue
of the various lines of embossed and turned mouldings, —
spindles, ornaments, etc., manufactured by them. It
is intended both as a catalogue and price list, and will
be found very useful to users of such goods.

The Goldie & McCulloch Company, of Galt, Ont.,
have found the capacity of their works inadequate to
meet the demand for their machinery, and have decid-
ed to erect new works about a mile from their present
location. They have secured 26 acres of land, with
railway facilities of the most satisfactory character. '

Every owner and operator of a saw mill,or wood-
working factory should be interested in the advertise-
ment in this number of the Hanchett Swage Works, of
Big Rapids, Mich. This company makes swages for
circular, band, gang and band resaws. The qualities — é a
of their swages is testified by letters of many of the
leading mill men of the United States. The company
now propose to enter the Canadian market and will
be pleased to send fall particulars of their goodsto
Canadian mill operators and suprly firms who will
write mentioning the CANADA LUMBERMAN. ,

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN

SUIT FOR DELIVERY OF POLES.

Judgment was given at Toronto, on December oth,
in the case of Phelps V. McLachlin, an action tried at
Ottawa without a jury. The action was brought for
damages for non-delivery of poles under a written con-
tract under which, as the plaintiff contended he could
not be called upon to pay untill the poles had beer.
first inspected and passed by both parties and the de-
fendants had supplied the cars and shipped the poles.
The defendants contended that if the poles had been
on the ground for 30 dzys and an estimate was made
after the 30 days had elapsed the plaintiff was obliged
to make immediate payment, otherwise they (defend-
ants) were not called upon to deliver. Held, that both
parties were wrong in their interpretation of the con-
tract on these points, but that the plaintiff was justified
in treating the defendant’s letter to him of August
2,in which they refused to load the poles until payment,
as a breach of contract to deliver and in rescinding the

contract. Reference was made to the master at Ottawa
to assess the damages the plaintiff had sustained from
the non-delivery of such poles as defendants had on
hand under the estimate (20,000), referred to in the
contract and which would pass inspection.

Among the attractive calendars received by the
LUMBERMAN for the New Year are those of Brownlee
& Company and McClure, Zimber Company, whole-
sale lumber merchants, of Detroit.

A. F. Dudgeon, of Ashland, Wis., called at the offices
ot The M. Garland Company, Bay City, Mich., recently
and placed a large order for saw mill machinery to be
shipped to The Fred Robinson Lumber Company,
Revelstoke, British Columbia. The order includes one
Garland steam nigger, Kline patented log loader, two
slashers, one combined gang and edger, twin engine
steam feed, lumber assorter, transfers, Carriers, etc.

mill would cut 1500 feet of lumber in twenty-
four hours ; to-day the average figure is about
fifty thousand to sixty thousand feet.

Then, in Toronto, a laborer would do well if he

layer $3.00 and up per day.

In the olden days the demand for lumber
was limited and the supply unlimited. To-day
the demand is unlimited and the supply limited.
If they had possessed modern machinery in the
old days a very short time would have sufficed
to prepare all the material required for the
building trade.

There were Walnut trees in those days that
would be priceless at the present day. The
lumber supply was close to hand. Nowadays
the manufacturer has to go to Muskoka,
Georgian Bay, British Columbia and the South-
ern States for his Cedar, Fir, Oak, Poplar,
Cypress and Yellow Pine. In this connection,
Mr. Stewart advocates the reforesting of our
deforested timber lands, an increased study

of arboriculture and a practical demonstration

of such by our farmers. For every tree cut

down a new one should be planted.

the sawn lumber to the large sorting platform,
where it is graded and piled on the dock for
shipment by car or boat.

The edgings and slabs are carried by con-
veyors over a Set of saws that cut them into
four foot lengths. From here they are con-
veyed through the lath mill, where they are
sorted and all material suitable is worked
into lath. The residue, with all the other
waste from the mill, is conveyed to a grinder,
where it is ground into small particles and con-
veyed intoa series of pockets, from
which it is dumped into specially con-
to the
charcoal plant, where it is used as fuel.

The capacity of the mill is fifty
million feet annually of cork pine lum-

structed cars and conveyed

ber, equal to the well known Michigan
pine.

The mill commenced the winter’s run
about the middle of January. The
logs are brought in by rail over the
Algoma Central & Hudson Bay Rail-
way and dumped into a mill pond, the
water in which is kept hot by means of
a system of steam pipes, freeing the
logs of all ice, snow and frost.

The company also operates a com-
bined saw and shingle mill at Search-
mont, on the Goulais River, 35 miles
north of the Soo. This mill has an
annual capacity of ten million feet of
lumber and fifteen million shingles.

In connection with the saw mill at the Soo,
and adjoining it as shown in the illustration,
the company has one of the largest veneer
mills in the world. ~ It is three stories high
and covers an area of 150 feet by 200 feet.
This mill is equipped with The Coe Manufac-

100 feet. Running out from this in front is
the office building. At the south of the main
building are the engine room, boiler house and
shavings vault. The engine room is 14 x 24
feet and the boiler room 16 x 34 feet. East of
the boiler room are the dry kilns, of which
there are two, 12 x 72 feet each, and a storage
room 22 x 72 feet. The first floor is reached
by a large power elevator having a platiorm 6
x 18 feet and a liiting capacity of 60,000
pounds.

The first floor of the main building, 80 x 100
feet, is occupied by machinery and work benches
and the foreman’s office. The space over the
main office, 24 x 30 feet, is used as a finishing
room and that over the engine room as a glue
room.

In designing the factory saving of labor
and economy in manufacture were kept in
mind. At the front and rear on the ground
floor are large doors which slide up, permitting
teams to drive through and placing the lumber
where it is most convenient fot use. Every-
thing is handled on trucks, which, with the
elevator, enables stock to be moved to any part
of the factory with dispatch.

The equipment consists of a complete outfit
of the latest and most improved machinery for
the manufacture of woodwork. For drying
the lumber the moist air system has been
adopted, the supplied by the
Standard Dry Kiln Company, of Indianapolis,

Ind. The shavings and other waste material
are carried by a patent shaving exhaust, which
is connected with every machine throughout
the building, to the shavings room 14x16 feet
and thirty feet high, where the refuse is
stored for fuel.

Power for driving the machinery is furnished
by a modern high pressure boiler and a 100
h. p. Wheelock engine. A dry pipe is used,
which ensures the steam passing into the

last year to seek an entirely new location, where _

buildings to accommodate their extensive trade
could be erected. Accordingly, they purchased
a large block of land on the corner of First and
Walnut streets and erected thereon’ the build-
ing shown in the accompanying illustration.
The plans for the building were drawn by Mr.
John Wilson, who aimed at ‘‘slow burning con-

passes through a Moffat heater and purifier
and into a Northey duplex steam pump, by
which it is forced into the boiler.

Messrs. Wilson Bros. manufacture doors,
sash, frames, and everything in the line of

‘ woodwork required in the construction of a

building. They manufacture a large number
of stairs ready to erect,also hardwood flooring.
Their business extends to all parts of the

THE LUMBERMEN’S ASSOCIATION OF
ONTARIO.

The annual meeting of the Lumbermen’s
Association of Ontario took place at McCon-
key’s Restaurant, Toronto, on Tuesday, Feb-
ruary 17th. After a splendid luncheon, pro-
vided by the Board of Management, had been
partaken of, the President, Mr. John Waldie,
announced that there would he no toast list,
but that the association would be glad, before
commencing the business meeting, to hear
some remarks from Hon. G. W. Ross, Premier
of Ontario. |

The Premier was very brief, simply ack-
nowledging the invitation and complimenting
the association upon its success. The associa-
tion had been found very useful in assisting the
Government in the adoption of the manutac-
turing clause, which had proved of great
advantage to the province.

The minutes of the previous meeting and the
financial and statistical reports were read by the
Secretary. The President submitted his annual
address, as follows:

PRESIDENTS’ ADDRESS.

At this our annual meeting, we musi recognize that
for the industry we represent the times are exceeding-
ly kind, and never in the history of Ontario has lumber
reached a higher figure than prevails to-day. Never
before have bills for lumber been more promptly met.

All through the past year prices have steadily advanc-
ed, and the demand for all kinds of sawmill products
has been good, and we enter the present year with a
moderate stock of sawn lumber to meet the ever-increas-
ing local and foreign demand, and holders of lumber
need fear no drop in prices for the next six months.

Although the prices are very high, in view of the
advance in stumpage and labor, the percentage of profit
is not excessive. Wages for work in the woods, with
board, in the year 1897 averaged $16.00 per month, and
since that time there has been a steady increase, so that
wages have just doubled in five years. Thus, the ad-
vance in wages has kept pace with the advance in
lumber. The same advance has taken place in many
of the items of supply, especially in the price of horses,

In 1897 the average price per horse was $65, and in
1902 $175. It will therefore be seen that the high price
and advance on lumber has been proportionately distrib-
uted between labor and capital.

The only irritant and drawback toa state of complete
satisfaction on the part of the lumbermen is the scarcity
of cars for transportation. The transportation condi-
tions of this country have not kept pace with the growth
of the country. The railway management have within
recent years frequently advanced rates, but in no case
have they increased the facilities so that the traffic sup-
plied could be promptly handled. A very largely in-
creased tonnage would give a greater profit to the
road, and bear less heavily upon the industries of the
country. The Directorate of the Canadian Pacific
Railway are to be commended for their recent decision
to expend a large amount on the betterment of the
road and increase of their equipment, seeing that a
5 per cent. dividend on common stock 10 the original
subscribers is a liberal one. We also congratulate the
Grand Trunk management on their decision to improve
their line by the use of new capital, rather than increas-
ing their rates and lessening the facilities for the local
business on their road.

This Association was organized with a view to bringing
legislation into force that logs taken from territory
under license, the property of the Crown or People,
should be manufactured in this country. The Ontario
Government has since added to that the condition that
pulpwood aud hemlock (both the tree and the bark)
when taken from the Crown tands, shall be manufac-
tured or used in Canada. This Association has never
desired, nor does it desire in any way, to interfere with
_ the freedom of the owner of timber on deeded lands,
_ and in view of the prosperity that has been attained
through the Provincial Act, we desire to express our

:

regret that any appeal has been made by the paper
makers of this country to place an export duty on pulp-
wood when our Provincial legislation gives all the pro-
tection necessary.

It only remains for ‘the other
Provinces to follow the example of Ontario, and put in
force regulations so that the timber wealth of this
country, belonging to che Crown, shall be disposed of
for the benefit of Canadians,

We are quite willing to emphasize the motto ‘‘Canada
for the Canadians,” and this can be done most efficient-
ly by Provincial contre] over Provincial property, rather
than by interference through the Dominion Government
by placing an export duty on the property of the Crown
belonging to a Province.

We desire to repeat a statement made some years
ago that this Association has made no concerted effort
with a view to raising prices, nor is there any encour-
agement offered to combines or monopolies, but we
have contented ourselves with the market prices given
by the ordinary working of the law of supply and
demand.

We desire to again express the conviction of this
Association, that the tim2 has arrived when both the
Dominion and Provincial Governments should stop
granting subsidies to promoters for the purpose of
building railroads to open the country. Where roads
are requisite let the Governments of the Dominion and
Provinces join hands in the building and owning of
the road, and let the (ransportation companies operate
on terms so as to give a fair return for the work per-
formed. This might be acomplished by the Dominion
constructing a trunk line from ocean to ocean, and the
Provinces building the branch lines,

In view of the advantages already derived by joint
action, and for the purpose of objecting to any legisla-
tion prejudicial to the interests we represent, this As-
sociation has fully justified its formation, and its con-
tinued activity along the same lines we trust will make
for the development of the country.

The reports above mentioned and the Pre-
sident’s address were unanimously adopted.

The President, referring to the requisition of
the pulp and paper manufacturers for an export
duty on pulpwood, said that the moment it
was applied the lumber interests of the United
States would clamour for an increased duty
On lumber, as provided for by the Dingby bill.
The question of controlling the timber lands
should be left entirely in the hands ot the
provincial governments. It was unfair that
conditions applying only to Quebec and New
Brunswick should be permitted to affect the
whole Dominion. Ontario and British Col-
umbia had met the~situation by enforcing a
home manufacturing clause, and the other
provinces should have sufficient courage to do
likewise. There was a probability of another
session of the Joint High Commission in the
near future, and he thought it should be
distinctly understood that the lumbermen of
Ontaric are not willing to waive the mannfac-
turing clause under any consideration.

Mr. John Bertram made some forcible re-
marks against any interference with the pre-
vailing timber regulations. As many Americans
had, as a result of the saw-log legislation,
established mills in Ontario, it was doubly, he
thought, the duty of Canadians and the Gov-
ernments of the country to protect their invest-
ments. Under no consideration would the
association agree to an export duty on pulp-
wood or logs of any kind.

Messrs. Robert Watt, W.D. Lummis, H. S.

Brennan, Robert Laidlaw, John Conlon and

others announced their sympathy with the sent-
iments expressed in the President’s address,
whereupon Mr. Bertram moved the following
resolution, which was seconded by Mr. James
Playtair and carried unanimously:

‘““That the address of the President of the
Ontario Lumbermen’s Association be adopted,
and that a memorial be presented to the Do-
minion Government that in view of the serious
international questions which may arise by the
Government of Ottawa acceding to the request
recently made to them by some of the pulp
men of Canada that an export duty should be
placed on pulpwood, it is the opinion of this
Association that no export duty should be
placed on any product of the forest, but that
the timber, being the property of the Provinces,
the policy of dealing with it should be left in
their hands.” .

It was also resolved that the meeting heartily
endorse the resolution passed at the last
annual meeting of the Canadian Forestry As-
sociation, as follows :

‘In view of the enormous loss of timber by
fire, this Association, embracing a membership
from all parts of the Dominion, having at this
its annual meeting had under consideration the
great mistake that has been made in the past
by opening up for settlement land unsuitable
for agricultural purposes but adapted for the
growth and production of timber, would re-
spectfully urge on the Governments of the
Country both Federal and Provincial the neces-
sity of greater attention in future to this
The Association would’
further urge in order that this may be intelli-
gently done that the newer and unsettled
portions of the country should be explored in
advance of settlement.”

Referring to the above resolution, Mr.
Bertram urged that every lumberman should
endeavor to adopt such methods of cutting and
preservation as would perpetuate his timber
supply. The state of Michigan, he said, had
appointed a special commission to endeavor to
buy back about 4,000,000 acres of deforested
land with a view to the cultivation of trees
thereon.

——_

Officials of the Quebec Government who have
completed a survey of the vast territory, state
that there are fully 65,000,000 acres of good
spruce and pine lands lying between Lake St.
John and the James Bay. This is all in the
hands of the government, but will be placed at
auction in parcels of 10, 15 and 25 miles upon
request. Heretofore the territory lying on the
Ontario side of the boundary has received most
attention, and it is well bought up. The tide
of investment is turning towards Quebec, how-
ever, andin the past few years limits have

greatly increased in value. The territory is,
according to the government reports, well
watered and marked by several good water
powers. Thus everything facilitates the pro-

motion of the pulp industry.

ADVERTISING RATES ON APPLICATION.

Tar CanapA LUMBERMAN is published in the interests of the
lumber, wood-working and allied industries, being the only
representative in Canada of these important interests. It aims
at giving full and timely information on all subjects touching
these interests, and invites free discussion by.its readers.

Especial pains are taken to secure for publication in the
WEEKLY LUMBERMAN the latest and most trustworthy market
quotations throughout the world, so as to afford to the trade at
home and abroad information on which it can oly in its
operations. Subscribers will find the small amount they pay
for the CANADA LUMBERMAN quite insignificant as compared
with its value tothem. There is not an individual in the trade,
or specially interested in it, who should not be on our list, thus
obtaining the present benefit and aiding and encouraging us to
render it even more complete.

Advertisers will receive careful attention and liberal treat-
ment. For manufacturing and supply firms wishing to bring
their goods to the attention of owners and operators of saw
and planing mills, wood-working factories, pulp mills, etc.,
the CANADA LUMBERMAN is undoubtedly the cheapest and
most patenle advertising medium. Special attention is
directed to “WANTED” and ‘“* For SALE” advertisements, which
are inserted in a conspicuous position on front page of the
Weekly Edition.

LUMBERING AND SETTLEMENT.

For a great many.years the difficulties aris-
ing from the conflicting interests of lumbermen
and settlers have been recognized by the Gov-
ernment. As early as 1860 the Ontario Gov-
ernment passed an act defining the rights of
the license-holder and the settler, and at inter-
vals since that time new acts or amendments
have been passed. It cannot be charged,
therefore, that there has not been a proper
recognition on the part of the Government of
the necessity of protecting as far as possible
the interests of both parties.

In the early days, when timber was regarded
as of little value, the problem of controlling in
a peaceable manner the operations of both the
lumberman and the settler was not a difficult
one. As the country became more largely
developed, and timber comparatively valuable,
the situation assumed a more complex aspect,
and to-day the exact lines upon which agricul-
tural settlement and lumbering shall be
carried on, so as to prevent a conflict of in-
rerests, is one of the most important subjects
with which the Government has to deal.

Canada is in need of population. — Restric-
tions, therefore, which would retard the settle-
ment of the country, or at least that portion of
it which is suited to agriculture, should be dis-
couraged. On the other hand, the granting of
permission to settlers to take up land in the
timbered districts which is not adapted to
agriculture is neither in the interest of the
settler or the country.

Association, urging that the Government give

common to find that after the timber has been
taken off, the land is abandoned. Thus the
lumberman, if it be licensed land, loses his
timber and the Government the timber dues.
This policy of confiscation is often carried still
further by the settler seeking another location
for a similar purpose, perhaps securing it in
the name of a friend. Another result of the pres-
ence of the ‘‘bogus” settler is his in-
difference regarding the proper protection of

DEMAND FOR WOODEN BLOCKS.

Mr. R. E. Gosnell, of the British Columbia
Bureau of Information and Immigration, has,
at considerable labor, compiled and issued a
booklet for the purpose of showing the demand
which exists in Great Britain and elsewhere
for wooden blocks for pavements. The data
which he presents is of great value, showing
as it does that the field is capable of greater
development. .

Mr. Gosnell, doubtless an impartial authority,
reaches the conclusion that the result of experi-
ment and extended experience in Great Britain
is in favor of wooden blocks as the most perm-
anent and generally the most satisfactory pav-
ing material. He thinks that the failure of
wooden blocks in many places was due to the
local conditions, and in other instances to im-
perfect construction.

As nearly as can be estimated, there were
used last year in fifty-five cities in Great Brit-
ain and Ireland wooden blocks to the value of
$1,500,000. Many of the city engineers had
never tested Canadian blocks, but expressed to
Mr. Gosnell, indirectly, their desire to see
samples of British Columbia timber which
might be suitable for the purpose.

The blocks were obtained very largely from
the Baltic and Australia, and while varying in
size in different localities, the average dimen-
sions were g inches long, 3 inches wide, and 4

this way seems to be due to a prejudice against
it which exists in some quarters, and for which
no reasonable explanation is offered. It is prob-
ably due to a lack of familiarity with the
Canadian product, and if Mr. Gosnell should,
by means of his recent investigations, be the
means of broadening the market for Canadian
paving wood, he will deserve the thanks of the
timber trade. |

KEEPING IN TOUCH.

While lumber is not subject to violent
fluctuations in price, as is the case with grain,
cotton and other staple products, it is marketed
so widely that it is necessary for the successful
manufacturer or dealer to have facilities for
keeping in touch with the changing conditions.
The merchant who relies upon the knowledge
obtained from his immediate surroundings is
not likely to be very accurate in his estimate

in the home market in which he may be

of future values.

Some lumbermen are well informed at all
times as to market conditions ; others do not

teution and are losing money thereby. One
circumstance which tends to lessen the interest
of a lumberman in the market value of lumber
is the policy, now so common, of placing the
entire cut under contract at the beginning of
the season. As soon as the contract is closed
the manufacturer loses his grip upon the
market. For the balance of the season his
attention is devoted to the manufacturing end
of the business and to making preparations for
work in the woods. Doubtless there is an
advantage in being able to give his undivided
attention to these branches, but it is the
experience of those who have been so situated \
in. the past that when the time arrives for 2

another season’s cut, it is more difficult to get
an intelligent grasp of the situation. Never |
was this better illustrated, nor the advantage 2

of being closely in touch with the market more
keenly realized, than at the present time, when
Ontario log run pine is selling at record prices.

The manufacturer should not only endeavor Sees
to increase his store of knowledge by-every —
available means, but he should also impart
information at every opportunity when by so
doing his personal interests are not likely to be
affected. The trade journal, for instance,
looks to the manufacturer for information, and
if this is not forthcoming it is impossible to
place before the trade the statistics and other
data which the paper should contain. Oc-
casionally the CanapA LUMBERMAN has been *
unable to secure all the information -contem-
plated, but as a rule the trade has responded
liberally to our requests.

LOW RATE INSURANCE FACILITIES.

It may be said that eight or nine years ago-there
was practically no insurance company confining itself
to the underwriting of lumber and woodworking risks.
There was no general organization of lumber dealers at

take the establishment of a company devoted to the
interest of lumber dealers. However, one of the first
activities of the National Wholesale Lumber Dealers’
Association of the United States, on its organization,
was to agitate the subject of insurance. It was found
that there was a prevalent belief ameng the members of
the association that the rates then prevailing were too
high. Statistics were gathered among the members of
the association showing the.amount of money paid out
for insurance premiums,. and amounts of losses collected,
and it was found that over a period of several years the
ratio of losses to premiums paid was less than 17 per
cent. These definite facts based on actual experience
_. strengthened the feeling” that companies should’ be
organized for the doable purpose of giving an immediate
4 advantage to the lumber trade by a reduction of rates,
and to serve asa protest against the exorbitant rates
fixed by the old line i insurance companies then in the
cela. :

The first companies organized to ab business along
these lines were the Pennsylvania Lumbermen’s Mutual
of Philadelphia, the ‘Lumbermen’ s Mutual Ibsurance
Company of Mansficld, Ohio, and the Lumber, Mutual
Insurance Company of Boston. These ‘three. com-
panies have pursued successful careers for eight years,
each one having built up a surplus and all having paid
dividends to their policy-holders ranging from 10 to 25
per cent, anoually.

The insurance’ organizations. directly the outgrowth

ers’ Association, as stated above, are the Protective

Trust Fund and the Lumber Underwriters. The Pro-
tective Trust Fund is now in its fourth year. Having
been established as an experiment in underwriting
wholesale lumber risks only, its field of activity is con
fined to the members of the National Wholesale Lumber
Dealers’ Association,and it is not open to accept insur-
ance from the general lumber public.

The company which has probably attracted ‘he
‘most attention is the Lumber Underwriters, of , 66
Broadway, New York. This concern has had a
history of ten or twelve years standing, but has limited
‘itself absolutely to lumber risks for a period of two
years only,

The Lumber Underwriters has operated along some-
what novel lines, in that there is no representation by
‘local agents in any part of the country, all_ business
Applications
are received at the home office, and when it is_neces-
‘Sary that an inspection be made, a representative of
the company is sent to look over the property to be
insured. The Lumber Underwriters has found it

-possible to insure lumber risks at somewhat lower rates

than the so-callad tariff rates. During the past year
they have accepted insurance on lumber risks-at an
average discount of 15 per cent. off the tariff rate, and
during the present year on account of the 25 per cent,
increase in rates made by Tariff Association Com-
panies, they are accepting insurance-at the old rates
which were in force last year, so that the advantages
by way of a reduction in rates are obvious.

It is a favorable sign that lumber dealers through-
out the country have so extensively undertaken the
underwriting of their own property. The fact that
they are now maintaining six or more responsible or-
ganizations is ample proof that there is a real demand
for companies which shall devote themselves to the
interest of the lumber trade. The question naturally
arises as to what is to be gained by the policy-holder
in insuring with these organizations.

Up to two or three years ago the companies then -

heard the argument that even though. the cost. of out-

side insurance was less than that which they-would be
compelled to pay through local agents, they would pre- ~

fer to patronize the local agent as a matter of ex-
pediency.

In a measure both of these objections have now been
overcome. To the wholesaler requiring a large line of
insurance, these companies offer a maximum line of
possibly $35,000 or $40,000 ona single risk. Now
that all of the old line insurance companies have ad-
vanced rates on lumber and woodworking risks 25 per
cent., the retailer is disposed to accept the inducement
of a lower rate offered by the lumber insurance com-

\panies, feeling that it is better to sacrifice the~slight
_amount of business which might be secured from the

local agent rather than to fail to protest against an in-
crease of rates which he believes to be unjustified.
As a consequence at this time large numbers ot

-lumber dealers are turning to their own trade compan-
-ies for insurance, and the companies are experiencing

‘a decidedly marked increase in their business.
There is one word to be added in regard to this

‘matter of insurance. - The justice of the recent advance

-in rates on lumber risks is seriously questioned by
lumber dealers in all parts of the country. It has been
amply proven by the experience of the lumber insur-
ance companies that this class of business is profitable
and it is believed that this class has paid a profit to the
‘old line insurance companies also. Since the lumber
insurance companies openly acknowledge the fact that
the business is profitable and are willing to accept the
‘old rates without demanding an increase lumber dealers
are to-day finding that in the trade insurance com-
panies they have facilities open to them which they

‘perhaps have not sufficiently appreciated in the past.

MANUFACTURERS’ ACCOUNTS.

A book bearing the above title has been compiled and
published by Mr. W.C. Eddis, F.C.A., President of the
Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario, and Mr.
W. B. Trindall, A. C. A., of Toronto. The work is in-
tended to be a text book for manufacturers and account-
ants, showing howto keep manufacturing accounts,
both as regards to cost and reccrds of manufacturing,
and also as regards the keeping of the commercial!
accounts where these accounts refer to the cost and pro-
fits of such manufactured goods. The attention and
care which has evidently been given to the compilation
of this hook makes it of great value to manufacturers.
Besides submitting approved and useful forms for re-
cording the cost of manufacturing, specimen accounts
of varied manufactories have been worked out and
illustrated.

Of special interest to readers ‘of this journal is Chap-
ter IX, devoted to lumber manufacturers’ accounts.
The systems outlined in the book are, for example,
adapted to the case of a manufacturer who is presumed
to be the owner of timber limits from the Ontario Govern-
ment, also timber on land purchased in fee and -the
owner of certain of the permanent improvenients on
the streams made for the purpose of driving or floating
logs to the mill, which is built for the manufacture _ of
lumber, shingles and lath. The various forms shown
in this chapter include the following: Account in Gener-

TREATMENT OF SECOND-GROWTH WHITE
PINE.*

By WALLACE I. HUTCHINSON, Wolfville, N.S.

(Continued from February issue.)

To be ranked as first class timber a tree
must be tall, straight, free from branches, and
tapering as little a possible. If heavy thinning
is done during the early years of the growth
straight, clean poles are not as a rule produced
—that is, not in the same degree as when the
woods are kept dense and the lower branches
die off gradually from lack of light. Nor can
we make up for this by pruning, though it
may be beneficial to some degree. Heavy thin-
ning gives an increase of light and consequently
produces a more rapid diameter growth and
coarse-grained timber.

In the case of the white pine thinning should
be carried on lightly until the end of the
principal height growth, which occurs when the
trees are about Then the

hinning should gradually become heavier, in

forty years old.

What hardwood species are allowed to re-
main depends largely upon the commercial
value of the different kinds of wood. Perhaps
the trees to be favored next to the White Pine,
in a mixed forest, are the White Oak and
Chestnut, both of which are healthy and
vigorous trees of high commercial value.

In a woodlot of considerable size the whole
area need not be thinned in one winter, as this

Order to assist the selected trees by the removal
of all inferior and diseased ones. The thinning
should be done more among the dominating
and dominated trees than among those which
have fallen far behind in the race, although
the latter may be allowed to remain to assist in
the protection of the soil or as wind-break.

If the woodlot in question does not consist of
a pure stand of white pine, but is intermixed
with hardwoods, the plan of thinning must be
slightly changed.

The most important tree, which in this case
is the white pine, must be favored in every way
possible. Inferior hardwoods may be allowed
to remain for a certain length of time to act as
nurses for the young pines, but after their
periods of usefulness for this purpose is past
they should be removed. This removal should

value in the production of high-grade timber.
It affords a means of directing the growth of
the wood, either towards the production of the
greatest quantity or the best possible quality.
Further, it preserves a suitable proportion of
species in dealing with mixed woods. The
danger from insects and fire is lessened by the
prompt removal of dead and diseased trees,
and thinning strengthens the selected trees
against the injurious effects of wind and snow.

When it is the farmer’s object to produce
the best quality of timber—that is, long, clear
boles—it is necessary that the trees should lose
their side branches to a certain height from
the ground. The lower branches of trees
growing in crowded woods die naturally, owing
to the lack of light. This is a very marked
characteristic of the white pine, as its branches
often die to the height of 30 feet, which is also
true of all light-demanding species of conifers.
Sometimes the dead limbs drop quickly to
the ground; in others they remain for years,
eventually producing knots. If the lower
branches do not drop off naturally, they are

usually removed by artificial means, and to this
process is applied the term pruning. _

The pruning of live branches is done to
increase the value of the timber, stimulate the
expansion of the crown of the tree, and also to
free the young growth fromthe too dense shide
of the overhanging trees.

Pruning to free the undergrowth from a too
dense cover is usually done in woods consisting

of timber of different ages. In many cases

one may find a stand where a valuable slow-
growing species is liable to be shaded out by a
poor, faster growing one. In this case it is
preferable to prune the undergrowth rather
than remove it altogether. We often notice
trees which have been subject to unfavorable
conditions showing signs of failing strength in
their crowns. To remedy this, usually a good
part of the lower limbs. should be removed.
This allows the tree to use all its nourishment
to strengthen the crown, and in. many cases
this, extra stimulus enables it to pass the
danger point. |

.It is very seldom a tres is injured by the re-
moval of dead branches. On the other hand,
it may greatly reduce the danger from rot, as
the tree soon covers over the opening with new
layers: of wood. ,

Buta different state of affairs is met with in
the pruning of green branches. Here the
wound caused by the removal of the limb often

becomes the point “where fungi enter. The
white pine has, however, peculiar methods for
overcoming this evil effect. Shortly after the
limb is removed the wound is covered by a

gummy sap, which protects the cut from
disease until it is able to heal over, so that in

a few years after careful trimming we have
practically a clean bole. Pruning, however, in
a crowded stand, where the limbs die naturally
to a considerable height, should be confined to
the dead branches exclusively.

For a farmer the easiest implement to prune
with is a good sharp axe; if wielded with
accuracy, it is as good as a saw, as it leaves a
smooth surface wound. Besides, pruning
with an axe can be done more rapidly. It
must, however, be carefully handled, as reck-
less cutting is apt to do considerable damage
to the bark. It isa waste both of time and
of energy to prune a tree above a height of

eight feet, which is about as high as an average

man can reach with an axe and cut carefully.
The branches should not be, pruned in such a
manner that short stumps are left sticking out
from the stem, but should be cut even with the

trunk. The best time for pruning is undoubted-
ly in the fall or early winter.

As so many of our eastern white pine woods
are seriously affected by the pine weevil, at-
tention should be called to it. The presence of
the insect is first manifested by the wilting of
the terminal shoot, which, if examined care-
fully, will be found completely mined by the
insect larve. A tree thus damaged will fail
for several Seasons to send forth a terminal
shoot, with the result that the lateral branches
strive with one another to gain supremacy. It
is at this point that the owner of the wood Jot
can materially aid nature in her efforts to again
produce a normal tree. A limb should be
selected to take the place of the leader, and in
making a choice its thriftiness and relation to
the tree should be considered. After a choice
has been made all the other branches of the
whorl should be removed, thus giving the
newly-chosen leader every opportunity to de-
velop. Ifthe work has been judiciously done,
the tree may again assume its normal shape in
after years,

MICHIGAN’S LUMBER INDUSTRY.

By OUR TRAVELLING REPRESENTATIVE.

The first day of February saw me ‘‘on the road”
again, bound for Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Mis-
souri, Indiana, Pennsylvania and Ohio. Leaving Toronto
I made stops at Hamilton, London, Chatham, and
Windsor long enough to see that the lumber trade was
flourishing at these points. A great many of the smalj
dealers were anxious as to whether they would be able
to get a supply this coming season—-many preferring to
wait until the mills were running before giving their
orders.

Coming over to Detroit I visited many of the leading

two genuine snake rail fences, and miles upon miles of
stump fences.

Statistics show that the lower peninsula of Michigan
is now practically denuded of all its pine
and hardwood is going the same way.

Hemlock
Last year
1,846,104,979 feet of all kinds were cut in the state,
Mr. E. D. Cowles, of tlie Courier-Herald staff, Sag-
inaw, is ackncwledged to be the best authority on Jum-
ber statistics, having made it a special study for over
30 years. To him I am indebted for much information
regarding Michigan’s declining -industry. His statis-
tics show an instructive object lesson of the diminishing
forest preserves of the state.

The last year has been a prosperous one for the lum-
bermen. While theout put in the state fell off, the manu-
facture of hardwood and hemlock assumed large pro-
portions. In speaking to Mr. Cowles he said:—
‘““Twenty years ago a Michigan lumberman would
not have recognized a hemlock log if met face to face
on a skidway, there being no market for that timber,
but conditions have changed and the output of hemlock
the last two years has about: equalled that of pine.”

I asked Mr. Cowles as to the pine product, and he
stated: —“‘It is pretty nearly exhausted in the’ lower
peninsula, but tnere is a large body of fine hemlock
and hardwood timber available.”

The prices for lumber in this state during 1902 and
up to the present ruled firm, with an active demand
during the entire year. The output of the state for
1902 was 717,183,671 feet of pine, 699,011,487 feet
hemlock and 438,809,821 feet ot hardwood. The shingle
output was 1,545,231,000.

The production of lath for 1902 amounted to 303,-
311,000 pieces. The quantity of lumber in the hands
of manufacturers and dealers at the close of the season
was 197,877,000 feet. At the close of the year there
was a comparatively small quantity of unsold lumber in
the hands of manufacturers. Many of the dealers’

yards that I saw were also denuded.

The high water mark for the production of lumber
in Michigan was in 1581, the output that year exceeding
four billion two hundred and ninety million feet. More

lumbermen of that city, all of whom greeted me cord-
ially, and I was glad to make the acquaintance of Mr.
Jas. Harmon, Geo. Morley & Company, Dwight Lum-
ber Company and others, all of whom appear to be
thriving.

Up at Port Huron I found the Pere Marquette Ry.
making arrangements for their intercolonial trade.
They will’ now run direct into Canada over their own
line. They have ordered 5,000 new freight cars and
65 new locomotives, many of which will be delivered
this month. Three additional car ferries with a capacity
of 32 cars each have been ordered—two of them to run
between Port Huron and Sarnia. Local dealers say
this will facilitate the railway haul of lumber from
Canada.

I reached Detroit a couple of days too late to attend
the annual meeting of the Michigan retail lumberman,
which I was very sorry to miss. ;

From Port Huron to Saginaw I passed through what
was once an immense pine forest—now only blackened
stumps indicated where once the giant pines stood.

Between Tappan station and Abbotsford there is
considerable second-growth and scrub trees of various
sorts—none of any great utility. Everything market-
able appears to have been cut down. I passed one or

There has been a corresponding increase in the
lumber shipped from Canada to this state. One hundred
and fifty million feet of Canada pine came to the
Saginaw river alone in 1902.

The largest firm in Saginaw, Mershon, Schuette.
Parker and Company, handled 98 million feet of pine
lumber last year. They have 34 million feet of white
pine lett in stock, and have bought 50 million feet in
Canada to be delivered this season.

The Saginaw Lumber & Salt Company, Booth &
Boyd, Briggs & Cooper, etc., all do a very large

business. There are, iowever, no new mills going up
and very few that are putting in new machinery.
Among the Michigan firms who are now supplying
Canadian Jumbermen and their mills are the following :
W. B. Mershon & Company, Morley Bros., Wickes
Bros., Mitts & Merrill, A. F. Bartlett & Company, of
Saginaw; J. Garland & Son, of Bay City; the Rogers
Iron Mfg. Company, of Muskegon, and the Hanchett
Swage Works,of Big Rapids.

I had. very pleasant interviews with Messrs. Parker,
Jno. S. Porter, R. Loveland, Arther Hill, Stone, J. D.
Draper, Thos. Jackson, Henry E. Lee, Briggs &
Cooper, Charles F. Nelson, Kerry & Schultz, and some
other well-known Saginaw lumbermen I am indebted
to for favors received.

I was very glad to hear that Mr. John S. Porter,
President of the Porter Cedar Company, had been
appointed State Salt Commissioner.

Mr. Thos. Jackson, I found at West Saginaw, was
inclined to think Canada had been very slow in
awakening, and ‘‘even at the present time,” he said,
“your mills and shops are filled with old men and boys
—the strong young blood of your country having gone
to the States.” I reminded him of the fact that 35,000
American citizens had settled over the border during
the past year, but he thought something was wrong
when our own young men did not find inducements to
stay in Canada.

Mr. H. J. Gilbert, vice-president and manager of
the Saginaw Mfg. Company, came over to Canada last
year after spruce. He got what he wanted, but owing
to an accident to his vessel and consequent delay the
article was not got across in time before the close of
navigation.

A dealer in Saginaw said that the lumber market

sale in Canada, where they intend to market it. Both
this company and the Wolverine Company promise to
come in our advertising columns.

E. B, Foss & Company and Bradley Miller Company
each handle about 4o million feet of lumber annually.

Mr. Selwyn Eddy, with whom I had a short conver-
sation, had just arrived from Canada, where he had
been regarding his lumber interests there He was
preparing for a trip to California.

A large number of Saginaw and Bay City people are
interested in Canada now more than ever owing to the
extensive operations of Michigan lumbermen in
Canada.

Holland & Graves operate a large plant at Byng
Inlet. -They have employed about 900 men during
the winter and will get in fifty million feet of logs to be
manufactured this season, This plant was moved
from Tawas, Mich., a few years ago to Byng Inlet.
Mr, Holland, of this firm, is one of the pioneer luinber-
men of Michigan, and operated a saw mill many years
at Saginaw. He now resides at Buffalo.

The St. Anthony Lumber Company, at the head of
which is Arthur Hill, of Saginaw, operates a big plant
at Whitney, Ont., on the C. A. R,, 180 miles from
Ottawa. The company built last year, a logging road

about 15 miles long and are putting in a stock of fifty

million feet for the cut of the mill this spring.

The Saginaw Lumber & Salt Company built a large
saw mill and salt works at Sandwich, Ont., in 1900,
and operated it last year, cutting 20,000,000 feet of

lumber. Their timber is in Georgian Bay district and

they raft the logs to Sandwich, They are getting ina
stock of 25,000,000 feet of logs to stock the mill with
this year.

Edmund Hall,of Detroit,who has a s saw mill at Bay

i ‘eae,
The firm has jyst Soueht 4,000,000 of t of ae logs and
25,000,000 feet of standing timber, being the township
of Dowling. This company and the Saginaw Lumber
and Salt Company together employ oyer 1300 men and
400 horses.

Eddy Bros. & Co., at Blind River,Ont., have a large
saw mill there which was moved from Bay City, Mich.
They cut 25,000,000 feet and will have all the logs
they can manufacture this season. They own a large
block of timber in Canada.

The Michigan Land & Lumber Company, ‘of Bay
City, operate a large saw mill at Blind River and will
manufacture 25,000,000 feet of lumber in 1903. The
company is getting ina full stock of logs.

The Turner Lumber Company, at the head of which
is Joe Turner, of Bay City, Mich., is putting in
30,000,000 feet of logs to be manufactured at Midland,
Ont.

The Huron Lumber Company at Spanish River,
Ont., is being stocked by the Spanish River Lumber
Company, and will cut 15,000,000 and perhaps more
this year. The mill is owned by Mr: McCormick, of
Bay City. ; j

The foregoing are the principal lumber firms of
Michigan operating now in Canada.

Mr. Cowles states that fully 300,000,000 feet ot
lumber, which is to be manufactured in the Georgian
Bay district the present year, has been sold already,
or nearly one-half the entire output of the mills in that
district, and at an advance of $2 a thousand feet com-
pared with prices which the same grade of stock sold

at last year.

AN EXTREMELY SIMPLE TRIMMER.

The acme of simplicity in trimmers, both in construc-

was in good condition, and but for the poor railway
facilities there would be no cause for complaint. It is
claimed that it takes three weeks to get cars of lumber
to points a hundred miles from Saginaw. It is said
that by April 1st dealers will advance prices 50 cents to
$1 a thousand; others think that there will be such a
large cut that the bottom will fall out of the market.

The A. W. Wright Lumber Company are going out
of business. I also heared the same of C. Merrill &
Company. Bliss & Van Auken told me they had
dropped the wholesale business.

Near the Johnson street bridge in West Saginaw I
saw a yard or piling ground reclaimed from the river
lowland years ago—made by piles of lumber covering
the low ground, and from ten to twelve feet in depth.
There seemed to me to be a couple of millions of feet
of lumber used here in the years of plenty to form a
piling. Alas, it is all rotten now.

When I was in Saginaw a case was being tried in
the county as to the value of some timber in Kentucky.
The testimony went to show that the available supply
would be exhausted in three years.

asked if he knew where Hell-for-Certain Creek was.
“Yes,” he answered, “I have teen through Hell for

City, Mich., has also a large saw mill at Sarnia, built
two years ago. They manufactured over z0,000,000
feet of lumber last year. His timber is in the Georgian
Bay district and a full stock of logs is being cut for the
mill the ensuing sawing season,

The Cleveland & Sarnia Saw Mills Company, for-
merly operating a saw mill near Marquette, Mich.,

Over 30,000,000 feet of lumber annually. Their logs

The estate of Wm. Peter, formerly of ‘Toledo and
Michigan, operate a saw mill at Parry Sound, which
cuts 25,000,000 feet annually and a full stock is being
secured for the present year’s cut,

Mr. Peter formerly operated a saw mill at Bay City,
Mich., but when it became no longer possible to raft
logs from Canada to Michigan, he moved over to
Canada. His son now resides in Toledo, where the
head office is situated.

The Moulthrop Lumber Company, formerly of Bay
City, operate a saw mill at John’s Island, Georgian
Bay, and cut 23,000,000 feet of lumber last season. It
will have a full stock of logs for the ensuing season.

The W. & A. McArthur Company bought a saw mill
at Little Current, Ont., after operating many years at
Cheboygan, Mich. They are operating ten logging
camps this winter and are putting in a full stock. The
mill cuts about 30,000,000 in a single season,

At Cutler, Ont., N. N. Wright & Company have a
large saw mill. This firm 1s composed of Ralph Love-
land, E. P. Stone and N. N, Wright, all experienced
Saginaw lumbermen. The mill will cut 45,000,000
feet of lumber this year and is to run day and night.

in the ‘“‘Tower” one-man 2-saw trimmer, manufactured
by the Gordon Hollow Blast Grate Company, of
Greenville, Michigan.

This trimmer is shown in the accompanying ‘lusts
tion. Both saws are operated by the same crank,
moving toward each other or in opposite directions at
an equal rate, the distance between increasing or de-
creasing two feet at each complete revolution of the
crank, This crank is carried by one of the head
blocks. Thus the operator shifts the saws as he walks
toward the board to be trimmed. Hence he is ready
to lay the board on the trimmer the instant the saws
are properly set. This saves time. :

Another very important featufe about the ‘‘Tower”’ is

feeds, which can be started, stopped or changed with-
out stopping the saws. The same lever controls both

are conveniently located to supply the mills on the
Georgian Bay and in Western Canada. Our readers are
referred to their announcement in our advertisement
pages and requested to communicate with them for
particulars and prices of their machines.

Lumbermen should be interested in the advertisement
in this issue reférring to the Blickensderfer typewriter.
The claims made for this machine are that it combines
low cost with lightness, compactness and durability;
that placing all the characters on one wheel insures
perfect alignment; that the type are interchangeable
and the writing always in plain sight; that by the
means of an automatic tabulator, columns of figures
can be printed as easily as ordinary words.

The Goderich Engine Company report that business

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

The lumber business of the past week
has shown evidence of buying for the
spring trade. Retail dealers have placed
orders with the object of building up their
stocks to a point which they consider will
meet the heavy demand which is con-
fidently looked for.
was more active during February than in
the corresponding month last year, all
grades of pine and hardwoods being called
for to some extent. Should there be an
early spring still higher prices for lumber
are looked for, as the building requirement
will be large and the new cut of lumber
will not be ready before June. By some
an early advance in the price of shingles is

predicted.

The weather of late has been favorable
for logging operations, and a large in-put
of logs is the result. There is no fear,
however, as to a surplus of lumber, as
American firms have recently bought very
heavily. It is estimated that over 50 per
cent. of the Georgian Bay production will
find a market in Michigan and Ohio.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Transactions in spruce lumber nave
been quite heavy of late, and a large
percentage of the production of deals has
been contracted for. It
that the Charlemagne company have
placed their first quality deals with a
Liverpool firm at about ten shillings ad-
vance over the prices which ruled in 1go02.
Heavy transactions in waney and square
timber have also taken place at enhanced

values.

Provinces has not sold so well, and some
of the best cuts are still on the market.
Manufacturers refuse to reduce theirasking
prices, however, which they claim are
warranted by the cost of production.
New Brunswick cedar shingles are still
somewhat unsettled, although investiga-
tions go to show that prices are likely to
be higher in the near future. Sales are
being made around $3.40 for extras on
Boston rate of freight.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,

Indications point to a very active de-
mand for lumber this year throughout
Western Canada. The building season is
opening early, and Winnipeg architects
have plans under way for a large number
of buildings both in the city and at pro-
vincial points. It is already questioned
whether the supply of lumber will meet the
demand, and for this reason higher prices
seem probable. In British Columbia the
removal of the United States duty on
shingles is being discussed, but in our
opinion such an action is not likely to be
taken. The saw and shingle mills of the
Coast are busy, with large orders booked
in advance.

UNITED STATES.

The past week has witnessed more
activity in the buying of lumber than has
any previous week this year. Dealers
have apparently become convinced that
there is a shortage in the supply of lumber
and that prices are not likely to recede.
In the Duluth district there is a scarcity of

many sizes of piece stuff, for which manv- .

facturers are now asking $15 at the mill,
whereas one year ago the price was
$13.50. In Chicago there is a scarcity of
6-inch strips and 12-inch No. 1 boards,
while the buying for box concerns has
reduced the supply of No. 4 and 5 boards
to a low point. Hemlock has recently
come into much prominence by showing
more strength in comparison than any
other class of lumber. Cargo lots delivered
at Chicago bring $12.50, the average price
on the mill dock being about $11. Hard-
woods continue to improve, the buying ot
the lower grades being a feature of late
transactions. Maple is stronger and has
advanced about one dollar. Manufac-

turers’ quotations are $20, $12 and $8 for

firsts and seconds, common aud cull re-
spectively f.o.b. shipping point. The
approach of spring has brought about
more activity in shingles, with prospects
of slightly higher prices.

GREAT BRITAIN.

Considering the nearness of the import-
ing season, it must be said that much in-
difference is shown on the part of British
importers in respect.to placing contracts
for their supply of lumber. The opinion is
gaining ground, however, that the import
of the coming season will be very moder-
ate, and consequently more activity in
closing negotiations may be expected in
the near future. The position of Canadian
pine and spruce is extremely firm. The
Timber News reports a transaction at £34
per standard c.i.f. Glasgow for first quality
broad pine deals, and £31 is asked for
11x3. For third quality pine £13 per
standard for the usual specifications is
being asked by shippers. Pine boards in
shipping cull qualities have been disposed
of at £11 to £11 10s. Red pine deals are
in good demand, especially four; inch
thick, at about ro shillings advance on the
best figures of last year.

Shippers are asking £9 5s for 3x9
spruce and £8 tos for fourths, while for 7
and 8inch of unsorted quality the asking

quotation is £8. There appears to be a
fair stock of fourth quality and cull spruce,
and any advance that may take place this
season will probably be confined to the
higher grades. At a recent auction sale
3x9 third quality spruce brought £9 15s
and fourth quality £9. These prices, it
will be observed, are only 10 shillings
higher than the quotations of shippers,and
do not leave a reasonable margin of profit
forthe importer. First quality red pine at
the same sale brought 415 15s for 1x9 to
14 inches, which is considered compara-
tively cheap.

The appreciation in square and waney
timber continues. Prices have now
reached 3s 6d to 3s 7d for first class 18
inch and 3s for second class 18 inch waney
pine c.i.f. Liverpool. Oak is held at 3s 4d
to 3s sd and rock elm at gs 1d to 3s 2d
c.if. These prices are probably the high-
est ever known.

STOCKS AND PRICES.

David Lynch, of St. John, N.B., is in
the market for 400 spruce futticks and
crooks, 10 to 12 feet long and sided up to
11 and 12 inches.

Cameron & Company, of Ottawa, last
week purchased 200,000 feet of hardwood
lumber from the Estate of E. N. Hurtubise
& Company, Aylwin, Que.

The contract for piles for the Ogilvie
mill at Fort William, Ont., has been awar-
ded to the Lake Superior Timber Com-
pany. The contract calls for 4,000 piles
to be delivered in the spring.

J. & T. Conlon, of Thorold, Ont., have
been given contracts for all the logs which
they can saw this season by there two
mills at Little Current. It may be found
necessary to operate the miles day and
night part of the season.

In Chicago last week a sale was made
of 500 lard tierces at $1.15. In slack
stock No. 1, 30-inch elm staves are quoted
at from $8 to $8.50 and flour staves about
$8. There is said to be a small margin
between the raw material for cooperage
purposes and the finished product.

The Dominion Government is asking for
tenders up to March 25th for a license to
cut timber on Berth Nos. 11, 12, 14, 159
16 and 18, situate in the province of
Manitoba, along the shore of Lake Winni-
pegosis. The limits comprise a total of 22
square miles and were formerly owned by
thelate P. Kelly. The Government also
desires tenders by March 18th for a license
to cut timber on Berths No. 332 and 333 in
province of British Columbia, the former
containing 640 acres and the latter 23
square miles.

Reports received from the lumber limits
this week give every assurance of a late
spring. Should this be a reality, log and
timber hauling will not be interfered with.
From the Kippewa Country, which is the
banner scene of operations this year,
comes reports of fear of fursher snow falls
even at this advanced stage of winter.
While there has been an abundance of
the ‘‘fleecy”’ it has been light, and hence
has not impeded operations. More snow,
however, will certainly have this effect.

It looks as if the British bound square
and waney timber will ‘reach its destih-
ation” much sooner this year than last.
It is nearly all being taken out in the
Kippewa district, and arrangement have

been made whereby it will be handled

over the branch line of the C. P. Railway
from Gordon Creek. At Papineauville,
on the Ottawa river midway between
Ottawa and Montreal, the bulk of the
timber will be placed in the river and
rafted for movement to Quebec City. By
this rail and river arrangement the tedious
all river trip from the limits to the seaport
will be cut down considerably both as
regards time and distance. The timber
should reach the British market weeks if
not months before the time of arrival of
former years. This will be very desirable
to both buyer and seller. The sooner the
timber reaches Quebec the sooner the
manufacturer gets his money. By the
adoption of the rail route the timber will
be saved the battering which was experi-
enced in previous seasons in the all river
route, a battering which meant a deterior-
ation in value. Mr. Wm. Wade of Gren-
ville, Que., a man of many years experi-
ence, will have charge of the rafting of
the timber from Papineauville to Que-
bec.

Every stick of square and waney timber
manufactured in the season of 1902-1903
-has been sold at an advance ranging from
ten per cent. in September to twenty per
cent. later on.

Talk about -advances in the value of
lumber. A lot of good white pine logs
were sold in Ottawa this week and the
price was a dollar more per M., log
measure, than the lumber in the logs
would have brought three years ago after
being sawn, seasoned and selected. How-
ever, when it comes co a matter of
advances lath heads the list. In the last
four years it has more than doubled in
value, showing an increase of over 100 per
cent. Four years ago No. 1 white pine
lath begged buyers at 95 cents and $1.00
per M, whereas present quotations for the
same stock—where it can be had, are $2.50
to $2.75 and even higher.

While the estimate on the portion of the
mill cut of 1903 already out of first hands
is placed at 50 per cent. it must be re-
membered that this applies to quantity
enly. When it comes down to a question
of value fully seventy-five per cent. repre-
sents the part sold. This is accounted for
by the fact that the demand for the high

than for the medium and low grades, and
hence has sold easier.

The 1903 output of the Ottawa district
mills will, providing the movement of logs
during the summer continues free, reach
fully 36,000,000 feet, an increase of ten
million on the figures for 1902. Every
available log will be cut, for the high price
of sawn lumber is a great incentive to mill
activity.

The movement of lumber from Ottawa
district yards to American points is quite
active at present, but car scarcity is com-
plained of. A local man who made a
state trip through New York last week
reports many inquiries for Canadian lumber.
If the railway companies were in a posi-
tion to move the lumber freely the activity
would be even more pronounced than
it is.

A local lumberman who returned this
week from the Sault Ste Marie district
states that the lumber activity thereabouts
is unprecedented. Hardwood limits which
went a begging a few years ago at $3 to
$5 an acre are now selling at figures rang-

ing from $25 to $50 peracre. The in-
crease in popularity of hardwoods for fur-
niture, flooring and office fittings has given
an impetus to the demand which in some
sections is hard to fill.

The Ottawa lumber firms are already
arranging for the movement of supplies
for next year’s camps. In previous years
this was left to a large measure in the
hands of the jobbers, but this year more
than one firm, through with logmaking,
has placed parties of men at work moving
in supplies to the ‘‘stopover”’ stations, the
idea being to take advantage of the river
roads and sleighing.

Despite the fact that record wages were
paid this year or rather asa natural re-
sult of this, the firms have had continuous
trouble with their new men, who are either

changing or throwing up jobs almost daily
even at this late stage. The great draw-
back to work on the limits this season in
fact, was the scarcity of high class Jabor,
a problem that money failed to solve.

The Shepard & Morse Company have
made extensive improvements to the
Mason mill in the west end of the city. It
is now one of the most up-to-date mills in
the district. New edgers and setters have
been installed, and one of the band saws
has been changed to a double cutter. This
mill will have a large output this year.

Work is progressing satisfactorily on
Fraser & Company's new mill at Des-
chenes near Ottawa, and itis now ex-
pected it will be sawing lumber by Do-
minion Day.

THE SCANDANAVIAN PULP MARKET.
In view of the competition which Canadian

’ pulp manufacturers meet in Great Britain the

following review of the Scandinavian market,
taken from the World’s Paper Trade Review,
will be of interest :

The wood pulp market during the last few
The unusual
water scarcity, discovered not so very long ago,

weeks invites little comment.

has brought a stop to business at unremunera-
tive prices. Sellers are awakening to the fact
that for prompt shipment pulp is becoming
Scarce, and that by holding out there is every
possibility of obtaining a good price a little
later on.

The hard frost has lately increased the water
scarcity, as the water in the rivers simply
freezes away. At this present moment I think’
that about one-third of the normal quantity of.
pulp is being produced by the Norwegian
mills, and, according to the reports from
Sweden, it seems, if not equally bad there,
that there is less water than usual.

It is believed that most of the mills are cer-
tain to find that it does not pay them to keep
going, and they will then. stand idle till the
end of April.

The water scarcity over here has created an
extra demand from some of the Norwegian
paper mills, otherwise making their own pulp.
At least one of them has bought a rather large
quantity, at prices from Kr. 32 to Kr. 33 f.0.b.,
and may want more.

The offers from the Continent and Great
Britain have an upward tendency. With the
firm American market for pulp and paper, and
the lessened ‘output both in Scandinavia and
Germany, this is only natural, and more so as
the threatening prospects of a crisis in United
States this time have passed over.

The autumn speculations, however, are apt
to make themselves felt just in such a position
of the market as now.
tracts over 1903 with speculators feel certain,
or at least have a strong hope, that the specu-
lators will be able to fulfill them, and the de-

ad.

mand, which would otherwise exist, is
on account of this not there to keep up
Prices.

Conversing with a large pulp exporter here

recently, he told me that he would not sell
under Kr. 35 for pulp over the year, but al-
though enquiries now are plentiful, and pros-
pects for the immediate future good, I am
afraid that it will be difficult to obtain this
figure for deliveries over the year. This will
to a certain degree also depend upon the
stocks abroad. As far as I can learn, the
stocks on the Continent are of normal size, or
if anything below, while in Great Britain most
of the paper mills have plenty to handle before
they are obliged to make fresh contracts.
There may, however, be some mills in the
United Kingdom which are at present short of
pulp. :
The development of the market is eagerly
watched over here, and at present no contracts
for prompt shipment can be made under Kr. -
34-35 f.o.b. This present position will, I
think, continue without alteration for some
time to come, as stocks now are small and
production almost nil. Sellers can, therefore,
afford to wait.

CANADIAN EXPORTS OF PULP WOOD

AND PULP.
- Official returns made public by the Canadian
Government show that there has been a marked
increase in the export of pulp wood to the
United States. During the last six months of
1902 American mills received $944,012 worth
of pulp wood, as against $576,276 worth in the
last half of 1901, an increase in 1902 of $367,-
736 worth.

A similar increase is shown in the exports of
wood pulp from Canada to the United States.
During the last half of r902 the shipments
across the border reached the aggregate value
of $827,985, while in the same period of rgor
the shipments of wood pulp reached a total
value of $480,246, an increase in favor of the
last half of 1902 of $347,738.

The percentage of increase in the exports

wood pulp for the last h-If of 1902 over the
corresponding period in 1901 was over 61. In
wood pulp the. comparison of these periods

“shows that the per centage of increase for the
last six months of 1902 was over 70. The fact

that the American mills have made such large-
ly increased demands on the Canadian pulp

‘wood and wood pulp is. significant, coming as

it does so. soon after the Canadian manufac-
turers made the demand on the Federal

Government for the imposition of an export _

tax.

During the last six months of 1902 Canada —

sent to Great Britain $610,046 worth of wood
pulp, as against $452,434 worth sent during
the last six months of rgo1. The increase in
favor of the 1902 half year is $157,612, or 32

THE NEPIGON PULP AND PAPER COMPANY.

The above company obtained a timber con-_
cession in the vicinity ot Nepigon River and |
Nepigon Lake, in the district,of Thunder Bay, —

in 1900. It was the intention to have dammed

the Nepigon River at the foot of Lake Ellen, —
and to have erected pulp mills at Nepigon. ©
Owing to difficulty with the Canadian Pacific _
Railway the company was foiled in its plans. _

It has since obtained a renewal of the conces-
sion and an amendment to the charter, giving

ber of substantial buildings have been erected
and considerable work has been done on the
water power. The local conditions for the
development of the water power are very favor-

able, the stream affording thirty t: ousand horse

power. ; ,

The capital for the carrying on of the work
has for the most. part been secured. All plans
and drawings for the development of the water
power have been drawn and are complete and
ready for construction. A road has been con-
structed from the Canadian Pacific Railway to
the works, and a large amount of supplies and
material, including three thousand barrels of
cement, will be taken in this winter to facilitate
the progress of the work next summer. The
company have also given a contract for cutting

. one anda half million feet of lumber and timber

to be used in construction. The expenditure
to date in round figures is $50,000. Next sea-
son’s estimated expefiditure in the line of con-
struction is $300,000.

PULP NOTES.
The annual meeting of the Sissiboo Pulp & Paper
Company will be held in Montreal on March 25th.

It is understood that the pulp mill of the Jonquieres
Pulp Company, Jonquieres, Que., will be entirely
remodelled.

It is reported that Price Bros. & Company will build
a pulp mill at Ha-Ha Bay and another on the Aux
Sables river, where a 250-foot head will be developed.

The Imperial Paper Mills Company of Canada has
been incorporated, with a capital of $3,000,000. It is
proposed to take over the business of the Sturgeon
Falls Pulp Company at Sturgeon Falls, Ont.

C. B. Campbell has interested capitalists in the
erection of a pulp mill at Dryden, Ont., and it is under-

The Chatham World says that the New Brunswick
Government is destroying all hope of the pulp mill at

An announcement from Wallace, Jaastad & Drew sen,
New York, reminds us that they are splendidly equip-
ped for designing pulp mills, electric lighting and
power stations, manufacturing plants, etc. Mr. Wallace
has planned over 75 manufacturing plants and hydraulic
developments; Mr. Jaastad has designed upwards of
50 steam and electrical installations and Paper and
pulp mills, while Mr. Drewsen is a recognized author-
ity on chemical processes of manufacture.

Of the British pulp market an exchange says: Prices
of mechanical are decidedly going up, and still bigher
values are anticipated. ~The scarcity of water in
Scandinavia is more acute than is generally realized,
and the out-turn of the majority of the mechanical pulp
mills has dwindled considerably. Although there are

stood that the preliminary work will be commenced
early in April.

It is reported that E. Steadman, late manager of the
Sissiboo Pulp Company, is to succeed Joseph Hughes
as manager of the Acadia Pulp & Paper Company at
New Germany, N.S.

The first mechanical wood pulp factory in Austria
was erected in 1866 by Moritz Markl, whose death (in
__. _ his 79th year) is just announced. He was a partner in

GENTLEMEN, In
reference to your in-
quiry regarding the
workings of the Ray
Patent Steam Feed
purchased from you
about eighteen months
ago, we have this to
Say regarding the teed,
that it certainly is not
only the best fered that
we have ever used, but
undoubtedly has no
equal to-day on the
Pacific Coast.

We have dropped as
high as twelve 24-ft. 1”
boards in one minute.
In doing this, the car-
Tiage would have to
travel .about 650 feet
and stop and start
twenty-four times in
one minute, The }
weight of the carriage, ;
head blocks and log
would be about ten
tons, This would give
you a pretty good idea
of the Power exerted
by the feed in hana-
ling a load of that size
at such a velocity.

We have run this ;
feed night and day
since we have had it,
continually, and the
same,ropes are’still in
servieg that were put
on when the feed was
munted, Everything
about the feed seems
to be in as good condi-
tion to-day as the day
we got it. We would
not take it out and put
back our old feed for
ten times the cost of
the new one You will
see that we are more f
than pleased with it. j bE

Yours truly,

attention, are economical and easily regulated, and the lumber comes
out of the kiln in perfert condition to make high grade goods. We

Perfectly Balanced

The Dodge Wood Split Pulley is perfectly balanced.

This is but one of its strong points, however—its light—about
one-third the weight of an iron pulley ; it fastens to the shaft with
ease and at any point along the line that you want it, without the
necessity of taking any shafting down.

Then too, it fastens absolutely secure—and there are no set
screws to throw your shaft out of line.

Then again the work of your boiler and engine is lightened, for
equipped with Dodge Wood Split Pulleys, you carry only one-third
the weight on your line as with iron pulleys.

If you are interested in reduced costs for power transmission, you'd
better investigate the unnecessary outlay for coal you are now sub-
jected to, by carrying 200 per cent. more weight on your shafting in
iron pulleys than is necessary, when you use Dodge Wood Split
Pulleys.

The Dodge System of Rope Transmission will solve many _per-
plexing problems, if you have a large power used, and your plant
covers an extensive area.

Island, and Colonel Warne, of Vancouver.

PRESIDENTS ADDRESS.
The theme of the President’s address was
the rapid depletion of the white pine forests of

the United States and Canada. Through Mr.
Charles T. Sargent, Professor of Aboriculture
at Howard University,the American people ob-
tained the first authentic information of the condi-
tions of forests of the United States. This was
in connection with the census of 1880. The presi-
dent believed it would have been worth m'l-
lions of dollars to the Dominion if the Canadian
Government had followed the example of the
Uuited States and ascertained if we had so

Mr. Hiram ROBINSON,
President Canadian Forestry Association.

great a supply ot valuable timber that we could
afford to sacrifice it in the reckless manner we
have. According to the United States census
report of 1900, the stock of white pine then re-
maining did not exceed fifty billion feet, and
the cut since that time has been twenty billion
feet, leaving the supply only thirty billion feet,
which is less than the amount of all kinds of
lumber sawn in the single census year of 1900,
namely, thirty-five billion feet. The present
remaining supply of eastern white pine timber
in the United States, therefore, would not fur-
nish one year’s stock for the existing saw-mills.
The Northern States are drawing largely on
the South and West for lumber, since the
Southern and Pacific States, which in 1880
produced timber to the value of $50,000,000?

exceeded this amount in 1900 by $200,000,000.

The yellow pine of the South, in 1889 not gen-
erally known or much used in the North, pro-
duced in 19C0 10,603,000,000 feet b. m. , as
compared with white pine 7, 483,000,000 feet ;

hemlock, 3,420,000,000 ; Spruce, 1,448,000,-

ooo feet, which last was exceeded by the red
fir, 1,736,000,000 feet—the Southern pine and
Western fir almost exactly equalling the cut of
white pine, hemlock and spruce, the former
being 12,339,000,000 feet and the latter 12,-
351,000,000 feet. It is but reasonable, there-
fore, to assume that the pitch pine of the
South to-day exceeds the whole output of pine,
hemlock and spruce of the North.

It was a belief in the accuracy of the state-
ments made in Professor Sargent’s report that
induced the Forestry Association of Quebec to
memorialize the Dominion Government to grant
a Parliamentary inquiry into the conditions of
the forests of the country, especially the
white pine. ‘I will not,” said the President
in conclusion, ‘‘ attempt to say what ammount of
good white pine in my opiniun exists in our
Canadian forests, but of this I feel confident,
that if the present indifference continues and
the inquiry they asked for be delayed for many
years more, the condition of our Canadian white
pine forests may be stated in very similar terms
to the school boy’s essay on snakes in Ireland.
He said: ‘There are no snakes in Ireland.’
We may be able to say, ‘There are no white
pine forests in Canada.’ ”’

The manner in which the address was re-
ceived indicated the strong sentiment of the
meeting in favor of taking very effective meas-
ures to preserve the forests.

REPORT OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

Mr. Stewart submitted the report of the Board of
Directors. It showed the membership to be 400, an
increase of 33 over the previous year and divided as
follows : Ontario, 128; Quebec, 54; Nova Scotia, to ;
New Brunswick, 10; Manitoba, 78; Alberta, 61; As-
sinniboia, 15; Saskatchewan, 4; British Columbia,
17 ; Prince Edward Island, 1 ; Yukon, 1 ; United States,
17; England, 3; Germany, 1. The revenue for the
year was $580.17, and the expenditure $474.02. The
following abstracts are taken from the report :

If the Association is to have that expansion which
will ensure its success and is to reach those whom it
wishes to influence, it is clear that its work must be
developed on larger and broader lines than those which
up to the present time have been possible of adoption.
{t is desirable that meetings should be held in different
parts of the Dominion and that the officers of the As-
sociation should in this and other ways have the oppor-
tunity of coming into more direct contact with those
who might be induced to give their assistance so that
the Association may be established on a firm and broad
basis both in numbers and influence. This question is
worthy the fullest consideration by the members of
this Association.

Owing to the wet summer throughout the whole of
Canada east of the Rocky Mountains forest fires have
fortunately not been numerous or destructive. Those
which did occur during the earlier and drier part of the
season show that the danger is still ever present and

that no relaxation can be permitted in the efforts to
maintain and increase the effectiveness of the fire
prevertive service. This is strongly emphasized by the
loss that has occurred in the Western United States,
particularly Oregon and Washington, where half a
million acres were fire swept and the loss totalled up to
about twelve million dollars. Contrasted with this the
prevention work done in the Railway Belt in British
Columbia, part of it contiguous to the burned area in
Washington State, with a comparatively small staff,is a
subject for congratulation.

Advance in British Columbia is marked by the adop-
tion by the Legislature of the penalty clause of the Bush
Fire Act as suggested by this Association and the set-
ting apart of Long Lake timber reserve and Yoho Park
in the Railway Belt, the latter of which with the Rocky
Mountains Park of Canada on the eastern slope of the
Rocky Mountains, which has been extended to include
an approximate area of 2,880,000 acres,form one of the
most magnificent forest parks in the world and one of
which Canadians may well be proud.

The setting apart of forest reserves is a decided step
forward, but the question of their administration is one
that is far from being finally determined. The Province
of Ontario during the past year formulated regulations
for the adminstration of its reserves, but these regula™
tions did not deal with the cutting of timber for lumber
purposes, and it seems advisable that this subject
should be fully discussed by this Association in order
that the Government may be assisted in determining
the proper policy to be pursued.

At the last session of the Legislature of Quebec a
Commission was appointed to enquire into Forestry
and Colonization. Unfortunately through uncontrollable
causes this Commission became disorganized and it has
been necessary to reconstruct it. It is sincerely to be
hoped that a fair and thorough examination on the lines
laid down for this Commission will be made by the
Province of Quebec, for in the proper adjustment of the
relations of these two interests lies one of the most
important problems that the Province has to face and
one which will have a far-reaching influence on its
future prosperity.

In the Province of New Brunswick an Act has been
passed authorizing the setting apart of a Forest Park,
but its location has not as yet been determined.

In the Province of Nova Scotia information is being
gathered as to the forest lards under control of the
Crown, and it is altogether probable that some import-
ant advance in the adminstration of Crown Lands will
be made in the near future.

The work of cooperation with the farmers in forest
tree culture on the treeless prairies of Manitoba and the
North-West Territories which was started a couple of
years ago by the Department of the Interior is now
assuming large proportions, and promises to prove
very successful. Besides about 700 pounds of maple

and ash seed there will be distributed this spring over’

900,000 trees to 827 farmers. This gives an average of
over 1400 trees to each farmer, and the applications
received from those desiring to have their farms visited
by the supervisors next season with a view of obtaining
trees the next spring are more than double that number.

The total distribution when this spring’s supply is
finished will be 1,424,800 trees and 1400 pounds of
maple and ash seed. The reports received from the
supervisors of the condition of the trees planted in the
spring of 1901 and 1902 were very satisfactory both in
the Province and in the Territories.

The report of the Board of Directors was
referred to the Committee on Resolutions,
composed of Messrs. Hiram Robinson, Thomas
Southworth, Dr. Saunders, Professor Macoun,
E. Stewart, R. H. Campbell and George John-
son. The report of the treasurer, then pre-
sented, was referred to the auditors.

Mr. R. H. Campbell gave notice of motion
to change the date of the annual meeting from
the first to the second Thursday in March.

The following paper on the ‘ Forests of
New Brunswick ”’ was then submitted :

The Forests of New Brunswick.
By How. J. B. SNOWBALL
The subject given me to deal with is Forestry in New
Brunswick. In forestry proper there is nothing what-
ever being done in the Province, beyond the work of a
few wood rangers, whose duties it is during two or
three summer months to protect the forest from fires,
or rather to prevent settlers from burning their newly

cleared land in these the most dangerous months for

fires.

Such fires on several occasions have been very de-
structive. The Saxby gale (known as such), which
occurred in October, 1869, swept across the province
from south-west to north-east, and blew down a section
of well timbered forest on the tributaries of the South-
west Miramichi river forty to fifty miles long by filteen
The following year fire got into it, and the
whole district was burned over. For some reason this
district has been unfortunate, as it has again been
burned over since 1870 and the fire attributed to care-
Jessness of settlers. Spots were missed by the blow-
down and subsequent fires, these spots being mostly
hardwood ridges. The lumber blown down consisted
largely of rough pine, and was all on Crown Lands.
The loss to the province and the district of this large
section, over seven hundred square miles, is not less
than a quarter ofa million dollars annually, and the loss
must continue unless some system of reforesting and
better protection is adopted.

All woods natural to our soil are manufactured and
utelized for export. There is very little hardwood
square timber exported from this province. This wood
is now tnostly sawn into deals, furniture squares or
spool-wood squares and shipped in contract sizes. The
cedar is manufactured into shingles, and exported
largely to the United States. There is very little pulp
wood shipped. It is manufactured within the province
and shipped as pulp. The export: value of the above
commodities, including spruce and pine deals, is esti-
mated to amount to ten million dollars per annum.

There are different computations by various authori-
ties on the area of the Province of New Brunswick, but
it may be stated at 28,200 square miles ; or a little over
18,000,000 acres. About two-thirds of this, or 12,000-
ooo acres, ts forest lands. Of this forest area about 60
per cent. is estimated as spruce land; 10 per cent. pine;
5 per cent. hemlock; 5 per cent. cedar, and 20 per cent.
hardwoods, which latter consist principally of birch,
beech, ash and maple.

For comparison I would repeat. New Bruns-
wick has 12,000,000 acres of forest lands, or
18,750 square Norway <nd €weccn 58,-
000,000 - square acres of forest lands, or 90,625
square miles; Russia in Europe 527,427,000 acres of
forest lands or 824,104 square miles ; Europe 687,000,
ooo acres of forest lands, or 1,073,000 square miles.
42 per cent. of Russia in Europe is under forest; 40 per
cent. of Sweden in Europe is under forest; 24 per cent.
of Prussia in Europe is under forest ; 22 per cent. of
Nerway in Europe is under forest ; 32 per cent. of
Austria in Europe is under forest; 16 per cent. of France
in Europe is under forest. -

Every country of Europe has a large area of forest
lands excepting Great Britain, which has less than 4
per cent. All these countries are seeking more or less
legislation looking to the protection of their forests and
the replanting of their denuded areas. Germany has
tahen the lead in wise forestry adminstration, and most
of the other European countries have established for-
estry acadamies and now conservation of wood lands
occupies prominent and studious attention.

The area of New Brunswick inland waters, including
rivers and lakes, is about four hundred square miles,
and the salmon, trout and other fishing on these waters
is said to be equal to the best in the world. The forest

lands of the province also cover one of the best game

regions in North America, considered from the sport-
man’s point of accessibility from railways. Trappers

also find New Brunswick forests rich in fur-bearing
animals.

Persons desirous of settling on the Crown Lands of
the Province, whether they are immigrants or residents,
may acquire grants thereof, either under the Labor
Act or by cash purchase. Under the Labor Act one
hundred acres may be obtained by the performance of
thirty dollars’ worth of work on the roads, or a payment

of twenty dollars cash in lieu thereof, the clearing and iin
cnltivation of ten acres of land,the building of a habit-

_ able house 16 feet by 20 feet,and the continuous residing

therein for three years. The words ‘‘ continuous resid-
ing”’ are liberally construed, and under the law the set-
tler may be absent from his holding for certain months
in the year to enable him to engage in wage-earning
occupations.

Mr. Campbell read a paper on Forestry Con-
ditions in Nova Scotia, of which the folllowing
is an abstract :

Conditions of Lumbering and Forestry in

Western Nova Scotia.
By F. C. WHITMAN. .

The writer outlined the conditions of forestry and
settlement in Western Nova Scotia, and particularly in
the Annapolis Valley. The forest growth in this dis-
trict, discovered in 1505, was so dense that it was over
200 years before any roads were cut through it. The
first trading was with the New England States, but
exports of wood were very limited, then later a trading
interest was developed with the West Indies and lumber
was exchanged for sweets. The export to the West
Indies still continues, and as the markets developed the
cutting of the forests became general. To-day the
forests are well nigh depleted, and within the past year
Provincial operators have gone north to Newfoundland
and Labrador.

When cutting first began spruce, hemlock and hard-
woods were scarcely touched; it began on the white
pine until to-day it 1s commercially gone. The cutting
of the spruce followed and is still going on at the rate
of 1000,000,000 feet annualy in this district. The pulp
mills are eating up the small growth, and the saw mills
cut from 1 inch by 2 inch up. There has been for
many years past a very large export to South America
of 1 inch by 3 inch and up, 2 inch by 3 inch and up,
which also takes small and young growth wood. These
South American orders call for a proportion of 12 inch
wide stock, and great difficulty is now found to-secure
the proper proportion. The character of the cut of wood,
and the increasing value of spruce lumber is tending
toward absolute denudation. I believe that it is
opportune to undertake a movement in the study of
forestry and that an appeal to the people in the interests
of the country would lead to a betterment before it is
too late. The foot hills and the vast interior, although z
no longer a forest primeval, will always be more
suitable for wood growth than for any other purpose,

The standing timber in the order of commercial value
would be as follows :—

White Pine—Nearly all cut, young growth scattering.

Spruce—Old growth confined to holdings of large —
operators, and in scattering bodies on farm lots, or
remote sections. Young growth luxuriant everywhere, — =
and will come to a size fit for commercial purposes in
30 years from breaking ground.

Hemlock—Abundant in many sections, now being
cut where easily accessible, largely used for railway
ties. Bark wasted. . :

Fir—Trees die early, much affected by insects. Used
for cooperage.

Poplar—Quick growth but sound stock small in
size, scattered through low lands or hillsides along _
stream. Used for pulp and staves. :

im and Cedar—None.

Birch, White—Abundant.

Birch, Yellow-—Abundant.

Birch, Redheart—Scarce.

Maple—Rock and softer kinds abundant, scatter-
ing bird’s eye.

Beech—Abundant.

Oak—Scattering growth according to elevation,
mostly red oak, coarse open grain. Used for car
building.

Ash—Very scattering, kept under by basket and
hoop makers.

All the hardwood grows mixed and would only pay-
to cut as it runs.

White pine was largely used for ship-building, the
butt was often used and the top wasted, as can be seen
in nearby woods to-day. Spruce and all the hardwoods
are now used for shipbuilding, and the fishing flee t
annualy takes a very large quantity. It will be noted

ere the timber has been cut away ona Steels
slope, and fires have occurred, the soil has lost its fer-
tility, and the new growth is very sparse.

In many instances so unsatisfactory do the conditions
appear that it might be considered waste land. As an
instance of growth, in going to a favorite fishing pool
in September, the writer in going along a_ well-trodden
path had to step aside to pass a young poplar that had
sprung up and had grown over eight feet in that one
season. There were no signs of this tree on the
same path in the spring. In 1902 a graft of Russett
apple, considered to be the slowest grower ot any of
the fruit trees, grew from May to October 6 feet
S8inches. It was grafted on wild stock. Lumbermen
who have been careful to cut spruce not less than 14
inches at the stump say that it will give them a cut
’ every ten years, and the second cut will be better than
the first. In Cumberland County, at the head of the
Bay of Fundy, the growth is more vigorous, and they
can cut every seven years. Two hundred to 2500 acres
will produce a paying annual cut, and the value of the
whole be maintained with systematic cutting. One
reason for this is that the Western Nova Scotia forest
area is overgrown in the number of trees, and the soil
cannot support the growth unless thinned out. Both
hardwood and spruce have an early maturity, and once
past that point rapidly deteriorate. The soi! is not
‘rich and in many places does not retain sufficient moist-
ure to keep the older growth.

The country named is not subject to violent wind
_ storms, and little damage is done by winds except to
hardwood on exposed hills. There is an impression
_ that the annual fall of rain or snow is decreasing, but the
lack of sufficient water for driving logs, and the dis-
_astrous spring floods, may possibly be traced to the
clearing out of timber along the water courses, so that
snows melt rapidly in the spring and the land does not
hold the moisture that it did in early years.

_ Professor “Macoun said that the conditions
in Nova Scotia were just an epitome of the
destruction that is going on in every province
of the Dominion. He was in favor of timber
lands passing into the hands of private individ-
uals, because the Governments of some of the
provinces did not seem disposed to properly
guard them. Ontario was doing much more
Ae _ than any other province.
oe Viel > Mr. G.. Y. Chown was not in favor of pri-
vate ownership of the forests. Professor Fer-
_ now, he said, contends that the individual can-
_ not properly do forestry work, the returns being
; too slow. A large corporation may have im-
0% mense wealth, but the private individual is
ie anxious to obtain a proper return for his
A investment. We must, therefore, look to

4 forests and preserve them for the people.

Mr. Thomas Southworth said that the
~ original steps towards the protection of the
res = had come from the government officials.
r. E. G, Joly de Lotbiniere maintained that
Saveroment fire ranging system was not
sient. Private owners should have fire rang-
f their own so as to provide some system of
tection in addition to the government ser-

vice. Mr. Joly told of the measures adopted to
protect his property in the province of Quebec.
_ On a section of twelve miles he kept two
“gangs of men, each gang provided with rail-
w ay velocipedes, shovels, buckets, etc. These
men had extinguished a large number of fires,
an d the parties owning adjoining property had
adopted the same policy.

_ Mr. Aubrey White said that in Ontario the
li nit holder was not taxed so much per mile

for fire ranging. He was asked to state how

the: governments and force them to protect the

select them, the government and the limit holder
paying an equal share of the cost. He did not
think there was any reason why fires should
always follow railway construction, as Mr. Joly
contended. With the construction of the Can-
ada Atlantic Railway rangers were placed along
the line and the necessary precautions taken,
with the result that there were no fires.

Mr. Joly held that the danger arose after
the railway was constructed.

Mr. George McCuaig said that the province
of a ranger was to put out a fire in its incipi-
ent state. When a fire had obtained a good
Start it was almost impossible to extinguish it.
The Quebec system worked satisfactorily, but
he thought it might be extended by securing
co-operation between the government on one
hand and municipal authorities on the other.
Municipal officers could do much good by look-
ing after settlers who carelessly set out fires.

THE FIRE RANGING SYSTEM OF ONTARIO.

Following the reading of a paper on ‘‘For-
est Fires,’’ by Mr. W. A. Hendry, of Halifax,
an address on the fire ranging system of On-
tario was given by Mr. Aubrey White. Mr.
White outlined the first steps that were taken
to provide for the preservation of forests from
destruction by fire. He then took up the ap-
pointment of the fire rangers and the manner
in which they were chosen. -The department
had always impressed upon the rangers the
necessity of not antagonizing the settler. The
results of the fire ranging system in Ontario
were detailed as follows:

In 1885 37 rangers were employed, at a cost
of $7,911. A number of fires were extinguished
and the general effect of the system was good.

In 1886 45 rangers were employed, at a cost
$9,847. There was no trouble or friction with
settlers. A large fire occurred on the Bonne-
chere river, although the quantity of timber
damaged was not so large as supposed.

In 1887 55 rangers were employed, at a cost
of $15,000. This was the dryest season on
record. Day and night rangers fought with
fire and called out assistance. As many as one
hundred men, in addition to the regular staff,
were employed. Settlers co-operated with
rangers. The licensees were supplied with in-
formation as to the burned timber, which was
taken out before the borers got into it. The
number of fires reported was 110, and the tim-
ber damaged 200,000,000 feet, the loss being
$70,000. The licensees asked that limit holders
be compelled to place rangers ontheir property.
The causes of fires were settlers clearing land
and setting out fires in dry season and high
winds ; river drivers making fires and not ex-
tinguishing them before leaving ; locomotive
sparks ; hunters and fishermen using fire care-
lessly. In this year the system of having rang-
ing on Crown lands was first adopted.

In 1888 70 rangers were employed, at a
cost of $17,854. Seventy fires were reported
and 160,000,000 feet of timber damaged, 15,-
000,000 feet of which was a total loss. The
main cause was carelessness of settlers.

There were 75 rangers employed in 1889 at
a cost of $15,468. Few fires occurred and all
timber damaged was cut.

In 1890 there were 83 rangers, which cost

$7,525, and no fires,

but in the east the season was dry.

In 1891 98 rangers cost $20,053. This was
a dry season and several fires
Crown and licensed lands. Of 100,000,000
feet of timber destroyed, 95,000,000 was on
Crown lands. The damage was $60,000.

There were 86 rangers employed in 1892, ata
cost of $18,362. Being a wet season, there were
no fires.

In 1893 there was a staff of 106 rangers,
which cost $19,831.° There were several fires
but no serious loss.

In 1894 108 rangers were employed, at a
cost of $26,276. There were no fires in the
east, but in the west where no rangers were
employed and there were extensive explorations
for minerals, etc., several fires caused consid-
erable damage. Owing to the slackness of
demand the timber was not cut.

The season of 1895 was very dry ; 117 rang-
ers were employed, at a cost of $26,253. The
timber damaged was 46% million feet, includ-
ing some pine on Crown lands in the township
of Grant.

In 1896 there was a staff of 160 rangers,
which cust $47,719. Fires on licensed lands
were mostly suppressed, but there were three
fires on Crown lands near Wahnapitae and
Biscotasing, 65,000,000 feet of timber being
damaged, all of which was sold.

A staff of 179 rangers was employed in ion
costing $49,926. No fires occurred.

In 1898 195 rangers were employed on li-
censed territory and 11 on Crown lands, the
former costing $53,498. There were a few
unimportant fires.

In 1899 190: rangers on licensed territory
cost $46,150. On Crown lands there were
twelve rangers. A fire occurred in the town-
ships of Bowell, Foy and Harty, all the de-
stroyed timber being sold.

On licensed territory 185 rangers were em-
ployed in 1900, at a cost of $53,970. There
were twelve rangers employed on Crown lands.
Ninety fires were extinguished, including one in
Dana township.

In 1901 there were 236 rangers employed on
licensed territory, at a cost of $60,132, and 10
men on Crown lands. In the Rainy River and
Thunder Bay districts the rainfall was heavy,
Early in
July there was a serious fire in the Temisca-
ming district, said to have been caused by
smouldering brush heaps left by settlers. Not
much pine was damaged, but a quantity of
spruce and other soft woods.

In 1902 234 rangers on licensed territory
cost $68,400. There were forty fires and 10,-
000,000 feet of timber damaged.

Mr. White said that in no case had the
Government received acomplaint from a licen-
see as to the fire-ranging system.

Mr. J. R. Booth said that the Ontario Gov-
ernment measures had saved millions of dol-
lars’ worth oftimber. Heurged that the Gov-
ernment enforce the regulations in every pos-
sible way and keep settlers out of districts
where there is only a small tract of agricultural
land. He thought some’ of the officers had
been too lenient in this respect in the past.

Mr. Stewart thought that the government
should take up the exploration of the country
with a view to ascertaining what land should

be opened for settlement and what kept as
forest reserves.

Mr. A. Knetchel, forester to the Forest, Fish
and Game Commission of New York State,
complimented the Government and the Associ-
ation on the success in reducing the fire loss
and told of the system in vogue in New York
State.

Mr. Joly again referred to the number of
fires started by locomotives. In a stretch of
six miles he had proven that the Intercolonial
Railway engine had set fire in five places.
Four of these fires, according to the evidence
submiited at an investigation granted by the
Government, were extinguished by Mr. Joly’s
own men, but the fifth was too far advanced to
be conquered. He maintained that the engines
are not properly inspected and contended that
it should not be left to the railway authorities
to say whether their engines were provided
with prorer apparatus to protect the forest from
fire. If precautionary measures were taken
nearly all the fires caused by railways would be
prevented.

Mr. Chown thought the Government should
put on more fire rangers on Crown lands and
that there should be a still more effective man-
ner of controlling the fire system.

This brought up the question of the compet-
ency of fire rangers. Mr. McCuaig stated
that in the province of Quebec a ranger was
compelled to show that he wa; qualified for the
position from every point of view. As to set-
tlement, he contended that no man should be
allowed to locate in a section where there were
only one or two farms. —

THE FOREST FIRES OF 1902.

A report on the forest fires which occurred through-
out the Dominion in the year 1902 was submitted on be-
half of the Association by Mr. R. H. Campbell. In
Nova Scotia the area burned over was greater than in
1901, but a considerable portion was not at. the time
good timber land. The area probably exceeded 25,-
000 acres, and the loss was between $100,000 and
$200,000.

In New Brunswick the summer of 1902 was wet and
comparatively little damage to the forests was done.
The only fire of any account occurred in the county of
Kent.

The Province of Quebec escaped without serious loss
owing mainly to the wetness of the season, as many
fires were started. Inthe Upper Ottawa district there
were eight fires that were sufficiently serious to require
an expenditure of about $900 for extinguishment. Three
of these fires were caused by locomotive engines, three
by carelessness on the part of river drivers, and others
by settlers and lightning. The rangers employed in
this district were 29 regular and 21 special. The hold-
ers of timber licenses urge an addition to the number
of fire rangers and the Superintendent suggests an in-
crease of five. In Fire District No. 2 there were 79
fires reported, 47 of which occurred in May, 15 in
June, one in July, 10 in August and 6 in September.

Six specific instances were reported by one ranger
in which fires were set out by settlers in contravention
of the Statute. The number of fire rangers in this dis-
trict was twenty-two, and they had to patrol and safe-
guard a tract ot 17,824 square miles. Inthe Gatineau
District the average area for each ranger was 360
square miles, on the Lower Ottawa 585 square miles,
and in the St. Maurice Agency 1316 square miles. The
total amount expended in the province tor the protec-
tion of the forests from fire was $17,000 but the fire tax
brought in the sum of $7,306, leaving the net expend-
iture $9,694.

Most of the particulars regarding the fires in On-
tario have already been given, and no serious fires
occurred in Manitoba and the Northwest Territories.

Several fires occurred in British Columbia, where the
season was exceptionally dry. One of these started
on Mr. Well’s timber berth on the Beaverfoot river,
where about 1.000,000 feet of timber was destroyed.
The fire was confined to the worked-over portion of
the limits. Inthe Boundary district several fires are
said to have startedfrom prospectors’ smudges.

In the evening an illustrated lecture was
given in the Normal School ty Professor E. C.
Jeffrey, of Harvard University, on ‘Forest
Trees and Their Uses.” Hon. Clifford Sifton
presided, and in introducing the lecturer dwelt
upon the manner in which the forestry subject
had been neglected in proportion to its import-
ance to Canadian people. Professor Jeffrey,
who is a Canadian by birth and education, ad-
vocated that none but scientific experts be

placed in charge of torestry work. The Can-
adian pine, he said, was one of the most val-
uable timbers in the world, as it was of the
greatest practical utility for general purposes.
He outlined the characteristics of different
woods, giving regsons why some are strong

and some are weak. The lecture was illustrat-
ed by stereoptican views.

SECOND DAY.

Resuming on Friday morning, the first busi-
ness was a paper on ‘‘Tree Planting in Mani-
toba,” by Mr. A. P. Stevenson, of Nelson,
Man. This was followed by a paper on ‘‘The
Growth of Forest Trees in the Forest Belts and
Arboretum of the Experimental Farm,” by Mr.
W. T. Macoun, horticulturist. An abstract of
this paper will appear in a later issue.

The paper brought up a discussion as to the
methods of planting trees. Mr. Norman M.
Ross explained the system adopted in Mani-
toba and the Territories, and Mr. Knechtel
gave some particulars of the reserves in New
York state. He had ascertained that two
men could plant 1,600 trees per day. With
an appropriation of $4,000 a nursery had been
made in the Catskills for half a million seed-
lings and some money was left. The average
cost was about half a cent a tree. Replying
to a question as to the percentage of the trees
still living, he said that last spring, in a plan-
tation of 5,000 trees, 97 per cent. of spruce,
80 per cent. of white pine, and 95 per cent. of
Scotch pine were found in good condition.
Scotch pine showed most rapid growth, name-
ly, nine inches‘in about nine months.

Colonel McRae, of Guelph, said he, too, had
found the Scotch pine to make the most rapid
progress. He asked Mr. Knechtel whether it
was advisable in a plantation to remove the
dead branches, to which the latter replied in
the affirmative, adding that with pine trees he
would apply a coating of lead paint.

Mr. Hiram Robinson brought up the ques-
tion whether by removing a dead branch it
would be possible to obtain more clear lumber
than if the branch were permitted to remain in
the tree.

Mr. Joly thought that as long as the branch
remained, the tree would continue to develop
the knot. Coniferous trees should be carefully
trimmed, but with hardwoods he would let
Nature do her own trimming.

Mr. Ross said that in the Scotch pine forests
of Germany it was the custom to go through
them when about twenty years old and prune
such trees as had made the most satisfactory
progress.

At the afternoon session the secretary read
a paper on ‘‘Forest Protection in the Railway
Belt of British Columbia”, by James Leamy,
Crown Timber Agent, New Westminster. An
address on ‘‘Forestry Education” was given
by Professor W. L. Goodwin, Queen’s Univer-
sity, Kingston. Prefacing his remarks by
reference to the gradually declining timber
supply and the increase in the value of timber
lands, Professor Goodwin reached the question
‘Will Forestry Pay?” That it pail in the
long run there could, in his opinion, be no
question. The 35,000,000 acres of German
State forests produced a net revenue of $1.80 an
acre, equaltoa net annual income of $63,-
000,000 ; and both capital and income are in-
creasing. This is after some 150 years of
forestry management, but the records show
that the State forests have yielded a fair in-
come from the start. When in Kingston re-
cently, Dr. Fernow told of German municipal-
ities which paid all taxes and even declared a
dividend from the profits of their carefully
managed forests. The large profits of the
present Canadian system represented for the
most part capital being eaten up, as our for-
ests are rapidly decreasing. . Forestry educa-
tion was very essential in order that we ‘might

work into a system of forestry suitable to Can-—
adian people and Canadian conditions. Pro-
fessor Goodwin then reviewed what had already
been done in Canada along the line of forestry
education. Recent steps included the engage-
ment of Dr. Fernow to lecture to the students
of Queen’s University in January, Igor, fol-
lowed by a course of lectures in January and
February of this year. One result of these
lectures, the speaker said, had been to deter-
mine several students to make forestry their
profession ; and the Board of Governors of
Queen’s University had decided to go forward
next session as far as circumstances will per-
mit to make provision for a forestry course.

Dr. Unwin spoke of forestry education in
Europe, where he graduated. In Germany the
forestry course was seven years, but he would
not advocate such a lengthy term in this
country.

An interesting address was given by Pro-
fessor A. P. Knight, of Kingston, on ‘‘The
Effect on Fish Life of Sawdust in Rivers.”
His observations and experiments, he said,
had been confined to the Ottawa and Bonne-
chere rivers. He believed that no healthy
fish had ever been killed by the discharge of
sawdust into these streams. His view was
supported by Professor Prince, of the Domin-
ion Fisheries, but refuted by Dr. Bastedo, of
the Ontario Fisheries. Personally conducted
experiments showed that from fifty to eighty
per cent. of the different kinds of sawdust —
thrown into streams sank in from three to five
minutes. Owing to the late hour there was
very little discussion on the paper, which wa
pronounced a most valuable one.

A motion was then introduced by Mr. Camp-
bell changing the date of the annual meeting
to the second Thursday in March, which was
carried unanimously. This will avoid a clash
with the annual meeting of the Canadian Min-
ing Institute.

It was decided to hold the next annual meet-
ing in Toronto.

Mr. Joly submitted a resolution calling upon
the Government to increase the number of fire
rangers throughout the provinces and to ex-
p'ore the unsettled portions of the country
more fully and to prepare maps showing those
portions of the country fitted for settlement
and those entirely unsuited for this purpose yet
good for timber growing. The resolution re-
ferred to the advanced steps that had been
taken towards forestry protection by the On-
tario Government and was carried unani-
mously.

ELECTION OF OFFICERS.

INCORPORATION OF JOHN FENDERSON &
COMPANY,

A few months ago a Quebec:charter was
granted to John Fenderson & Company, who
have for a number of years been among the
foremost manufacturers of New Brunswick
cedar shingles. Their product, manufacted by
three mills owned by the company along the line
of the Intercolonial Railroadin Quebec, is large-
ly marketed in the Eastern States, where their
well-known brand commands the top figure.

The business of John Fenderson & Company

England. The company owns a tract of 550-
000 acres of cedar and spruce timber, all of
which can be brought down the St. Pierre to
the mill, the farthest point from the mill to the
extreme edge of the timber tract being less
than fifteen miles. Ata point twent-five miles
east of Sayabec the company recently complet-
ed a new mill at Salmon Lake. This plant is
in practically every respect a duplicate of the
one at Sayabec, the single exception being
that six shingle machines are operated at this

has been in operation eight years, having been

started in 1895. The stock is principally own-

_ ed by Mr. John Fenderson, formerly of Oswe-

go, N. Y., and Mr. Arthur C. Dutton, presi-
dent of the A. C. Dutton Lumber Company, of
Springfield, Mass. The president of the new
corporation is Mr. John Fenderson, a gentle-
man who has devoted the last forty-five years
of his life to the operating of lumbering plants.
His son, Mr. Chas. Fenderson, is vice-presi-
dent and manager of the company’s mills at
Sayabec, P.Q. The secretary and treasurer
of the company is Mr. Arthur C. Dutton, of
Springfield, who handles the finances and the
sales department of the business. Mr. Mase
Fenderson, a brother of the president, is super-
intendent of the mill at Red River, which is
operated only during the winter months, and
of the Salmon Lake mill, which is exclusively
a summer plant.

Illustrations of the mill and yard at Sayabec
are presented on this page, and will give the
reader a fairly clear idea of the extent of the
company’s plant at that point. It is located on
the Intercolonial Railway and on the St.
Pierre River, and is a model plant in every re-
spect, having been constructed in 1897. It in-
cludes a circular saw-mill of 30,000 feet per
day capacity and eight shingle mills,capable of
turning out 35,000,000 shingles per year. In-
cluded in the equipment is a lath mill and a
heavy planer and matcher for dressing the
spruce boards and scantling. The company
also operates a general 'store at this point.

The saw-mill is operated days only, while

_ day and night crews handle the shingle mill.

A siding from the railroad runs directly to the
sheds and shingle piles in the mill yard, and

_ the Intercolonial road furnishes an excellent
outlet for the product to all points in New

point instead of eight, as at Sayabec. Its
capacity is about 25,000,000 shingles per year
and 30,000 feet of lumber per day. A third
mill is operated by the company during the
winter months at Red River, twelve miles west
of Sayabec, where four machines are operated
night and day.

All of these mills are equipped with mod-
ern appliances for turning out a perfect pro-

The entire product of these mills is marketed

Springfield, Mass., and includes shingles,
spruce boards, scantling, plank and one and

TRADE NOTES.

The M. Garland Company, manufacturers of general
saw mill machinery at Bay City, Mich., have just
shipped a second car of saw mill machinery to Revel-
stoke, British Columbia, including a special gang
edger. One side of this machine is a regular Garland
three saw edger, and the other side is a gang of ten
saws, set 1-inch apart with separate feed rolls so that
a cant 6”x12” can be run through the machine and
made into 6” strips at one operation. By special col-
lars this gang can be changed toa five saw gang to
make 2x4 and 2x6 from the cant.

The M. Garland Company, of Bay City, Mich., are
bui ding an 8-inch spring tension band mill with special
guide which is raised and lowered by friction, the lever
being conveniently located and operated with the
greatest ease. This band mill has many other features
of merit, notable among which is the spring tension,
which is a system of cushions and weights so arranged
that a hard ball ot sawdust may be thrown between the
saw and wheel without injury to the saw or parts. This
band mill will be installed in the Sprague mill at King-
man, Maine. This mill will have a large capacity, as
it is strongly built and perfectly balanced. The band
wheel shafis are extra large, this being a notable
feature with all the band mills built by the M. Garland
Company.

The Lumber Underwriters, of 66 Broadway, New
York, have gradually extended and increased the

line
which they are able to accept on lumber risks. As will
be seen by their advertisement on another Page of this

issue, they are now able to accept a line of $40,000 on
a single detached unexposed lumber yard. This large

The company makes a leading specialty of its
ability to furnish shingles at all times for im-

the country was practically paralyzed by the

obtain from strong stock companies. Thus by secur-
ing a policy from the Lumber Underwriters the reduced
rate at which they are able to accept insurance may be
secured not alone for the net line which the Lumber
Underwriters can carry but also on the large amount
ot insurance which could otherwise only be secured at
the tariff rate. The Lumber Underwriters anticipate
that the time is not far distant when practically all of
the lumber yards in the country will be insured in the
companies which limit themselves to lumber risks. It
is estimated that there are now more than four thou-
sand yards which are partially or fully insured by the
various lumber insuring companies,

LUMBERING IN BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The activity in lumbering operations in Brit-
ish Columbia this year far surpasses anything
heretofore known.
January and February 195 applications for tim-
ber licenses were received and 81 licenses grant-
ed. Owing to the difficulty of prospecting

does not usually commence before April.

Speculation in timber lands has accompanied
the increased lumbering operations. The whole-
sale staking out of limits that has taken place
has caused considerable excitement and it is
said that in too many cases limits were pur-
chased without having been properly cruised.
For this reason it is feared that some Jo the
investments may prove unprofitable.

There is likewise reason to believe that the
production of lumber may be overdone. The
prospective demand trom Manitoba and the
Territories has been magnified by enthusiastic
individuals, and while it is true that the lumber
consumption is likely to increase each year, and
that there are bright prospects ahead for our
western country, it should not be forgotten that
the proces: of settlement must be gradual. It
is a question whether the capacity of the saw

to invest in lumbering enterprises to seek new
fields as far as is expedient, not overlooking
the possibilities of export trade. British Col-
umbia is well situated geographically to supply
the markets of Australia, China, Japan, and
South Africa, all large importers of lumber.

THE ALLEGED LUMBER COMBINE.

A few newspapers have recently devoted
much space to the doings, or rather alleged
misdoings, of the Western Retail Lumbermen’s
Association, of Winnipeg, and by sensational
headings have endeavored to work up public
feeling in opposition to a so-called trust. The
laymen in the east must surely be of the opinion
that there has suddenly been discovered some
carefully devised plot to wreck the fortunes of
the farmers of the west and to extract from
their pockets their hard earnings in order to
enrich the ‘‘lumber kings.” Not for a mo-
ment would it be supposed that this same
Western Retail Lumbermen’s Association had
been in existence for twelve years, that it had
held annual meetings which were regularly re-
ported by the press, and that its constitution
and by laws are to-day essentially the same as
when the association was originally organized.

If an official of the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way Company has been correctly reported,
that corporation has turned philanthropist, a
change of front which will be greatly appreci-
ated by the people of Canada, who, we regret
to say, have not in the past been able to detect
evidences of this commendable quality in their
business dealings with that company. To fa-
cilitate the shipment of lumber into the North-
west, we are told that the company reduced
frieght rates and offered financial assistance to
dealers to enable them to obtain a supply early
in the season. They have even considered it
necessary in their new capacity as guardians
of the rights of the people to acquaint the local
Government of the exorbitant prices which
were being asked for lumber by manufacturers
and dealers. All of which is in striking con-
trast to what has in the past been considered
the policy of the Canadian Pacific corporation.

If there exist a combine which is responsible
for extorting from the consumer fabulous
prices for lumber, such combine should be
abolished. The history of the association,
however, proves that its object has not been to
boost lumber prices at every opportunity, but
rather by means of co-operation to bring about
harmony and promote good feeling in the trade.
It seems that the association has been attack-
ed on the phraseology of its constitution and
by-laws, perhaps none too carefully compiled,
rather than on evidence of injury or hardship
inflcted upon the buyer of lumber as the result
of the workings of the association. The con-
tention that the price of lumber has been ad-
vanced unreasonably cannot be substantiated.
Indeed, lumber is to-day selling at a corres-
pondingly lower figure in the Northwest than
in Ontario and other parts of the Dominion.

It is only reasonable to suppose that inflated
prices would encourage the importation of for-
eign lumber, yet each succeeding year for the
past three years has shown a decrease in the
quantity imported into Manitoba from the

United States. This in the face of an increased

consumption. Here are the figures:

Of the 1902 import sawed boards and dimen-
sion timber represented 11,039,000 feet and
tongued and grooved pine boards 1,285,000
feet. The import of shingles shows a still
greater falling off, declining from ten million in
1g00 to less than two million last year. As the
Minnesota manufacturers are not associated in
any way with the organization which has been
made the subject of attack, they might natur-
ally be expected to more vigorously exploit the
North-West lumber market in search of the
handsome profits accruing through the opera-
tion of the trust. An explanation of the de-
creased import is furnished by Mr. E. F
Stephenson, Crown Timber Agent. at Winni-
peg, who in his last report to the Department
of the Interior, says: ‘‘The low rate of dues
charged by the Government enables manufac-
turers to undersell the imported article, to the
advantage of the purchasing settler. Compar-
ing prices for lumber and building material in
Manitoba at the present time with chose tor the
same kind and quality in the bordering states,
they are considerably lower.” This statement,
from an impartial source, is also a refutation
of the charge of exorbitant prices.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Winter sawing is becoming more popular.
The Pigeon River Lumber Company, of Port -
Arthur, and the Algoma Commercial Com-
pany, of Sault Ste Marie, operated their mills
last winter for the first time. Their method is
to dump the logs into a pond otf water which is
prevented from freezing by a system of steam
pipes. It will be interesting to learn whether
the additional expense thus entailed is war-
ranted by results.

In the diligent search that is being made for
a more profitable means of utilizing sawdust,
some peculiar theories have been advanced,
one of which, of German origin, is to produce
a food for horses by a mixture of sawdust and
other materials. The most recent invention, if
it may be so termed,will probably be received
with greater credence than were many others.
It is the discovery of Alexander Glassen, of
Aachen, Germany, and, according to the
United States patent dated December, 1902,
is for ‘‘the conversion of cellulose of wood
or the like into sugar.” The material is
subjected in a closed vessel to a heat of 120 to
145 degrees centigrade, and is acted upon by a
mixture of sulphurous and sulphuric acid, the
variation in the heat required being dependent
upon the quality of the wood used. The
temperature also very greatly affects the yield
of sugar, any lower temperature than that
stated giving a much smaller return. Birch is
said to require a temperature of about 130
degrees, and western fir 144 degrees. It is
claimed that a yield of 300 grams of sugar per

kilo of dry wood or sawdust can be obtained,

and of the sugar thus produced from 80 to go

per cent. is fermentable glucose. Should this
discovery prove to be practically and com-

mercially feasible, it would mean much to the

Jumber industry of this country,

_ THE DOUBLE CIRCULAR SAW MILL.
J ’ iLiscoms MILLs, February 28, 1903.
Editor CANADA LUMBERMAN :

Dear Sir:—In your February issue I note in your
column on “Views and Interviews” an article discus-
sing the double circular saw mills and raising a few
points that I am glad have been brought up in print and
I trust that you can spare space in your valuable publi-
cation for a reply from me and an explanation as to why
the Killam double circular mill does not possess the
weak points discussed in the article under mention.
Let me quote from your article : ‘I think Mr. Killiam’s
circular mill would be likely to increase the quantity of
waste and produce more thick and thin lumber than in
the ordinary single cutting saws. I know that some
trouble in this direction has been experienced by the
double cutting band, and while it may be possible to
turn out the lumber equally as good as by the single
saw, this I believe can only be done by giving extra
care and attention to the saws and having men to oper-
ate them who are expert sawyers of the first order.”

I think the above quotation covers all the important
points raisedin the article, and in answering I shall
Start as the Yankee does and ask a question myself.
Why will the doublecircular mills make more thick and
thin lumber and more waste than the single cir-
cular mills? There are no reasons why they would,
and many reasons why they will not do the things
spoken of, and actual tests in the manufacture of lumber

: using the double circular have shown that they do not
possess the faults we are discussing.

I am well aware that double cutting band saws do
make a lot of trouble and any saw cutting both ways of
the grain of the log (one cut from butt to top and the
next cut from top to butt) will make thick and thin lum-
ber for this reason: sawing from top to butt, cutting
against the growth-grain of the log, will always incline
the saw from the log, while the other cut from butt to
top will have the opposite effect. I might make the
point now that no saw fitter, no matter how expert, can
so fit saw teeth as to overcome this law of grain of
wood, and so it follows that any saw cutting both
ways of the grain of log will make a lot of thick and
thin lumber.

It isassumed by the writer that no manufacture
of lumber will employ a sawyer who cannot make good
lumber with a circularsaw, and as there are no me-
chanical difficulties to ‘overcome in operating two saws
cutting on one side of a log at the same time there is
no reason why the sawyer competent to operate an
ordinary circular mill cannot as easily operate the

double circular mill. As an illustration of this I will
-.. state that the sawyer who made the first tests with the

¢ double circular was a young man who had sawed with
ay?

a single circular but a few months and he had no
~~ trouble in sawing a big average and handling the
: double circular without a hitch, making extra good
lumber. The sawyer has the same view of the log as
in sawing with a single circular and the same oppor-
tunity to use his judgment as to how to cut same.

I might observe here that in the final cuts on the last
half of the log the double circular taking two deals and
_ leaving the slab finds the log more rigid and will cut
Tht. more even lumber than the single circular mill when

cutting the last deal and leaving the slab, as in the lat-
ithe 2 ter case the remains of the log is in a very springy
condition.

____—‘ The writer uses a first saw of from 50 to 60 inches
___— and a second saw of from 60 to 72 inches. In extra
heavy cuts both saws are set in line; the smaller saw
_ cuts through the greater part of the log and the larger
saw finishes the cut. This arrangement permits full
_ feed being carried in cutting large logs and insures the
cut being complete. Attention can here be called to
____ the fact that no time is lost in cutting through unfinish-
; a ed cuts with an axe and the lumber is better and clean-
__€r cut with no loss of time or lumber.
Keeping the above facts in mind, let me call your
__ attention to the reasons why the double cutting circu-
Jar mill will cut less thick and thin lumber, and make
less waste than a single circular mill.

The distance between the original and the additional
Saws is a fixed distance (no matter if you are sawing
_ boards, plank, battens or deals), the additional saw be-
_ ing set and firmly held at the required distance from
__ the original Saw, and as the saws are cutting on both

me?

©

sides of the piece of lumber under cut at the same time,
it follows that saws being properly fitted, a perfect cut
of the piece of lumber sawn between the two saws
occurs. The second piece is produced outside the
additional saw, which is assisted in resisting any spring
Pressure or other deflecting influence by the original
saw and the piece of lumber being sawn between the
two saws, thus producing an evenly sawn piece on the
outside saw.

The whole operation of this double circular mill is
such that advantage is taken in cutting the log of all of

_its rigidity, and as all cuts are made one way of the

grain of the log and the tendency of the log to spring
overcome to a much greater extent than with single
circulars,hence it follows that lumber is sawn more
evenly and more smoothly thanby any other method.

The subject of making more waste will need but a
brief reference. Emphatically the double circular does
not make as much waste as the single circular,and more
than that it does away with the necessity for a re-saw
and saves the expense of men to operate the same.

In closing let me say that the Killam double circular
mills will cut 75 per cent. more lumber than a single
circular mill, cut the same more evenly for the above
given reasons, make less waste and save the expense

RAILWAY CAR SERVICE.
ORILLIA, March 2oth, 1903.
Editor CANADA LUMBERMAN :

DEAR Sirs,—You areno doubt aware that at the
present time there is a great amount of dissatisfaction
among shippers generally, and among lumbermen par-
ticularly, with the way the Car Service Association is
making its charges.

We all recognize the justice there is on the part of
the railway companies in making some charge for undue
detention of cars under load or waiting load, but they
should not make charges and try to enforce payment of
that charge in the arbitrary manner which they usually
adopt. ,

There are several things which should be very care-
fully considered by the railway people before they try
to collect car rentals, one of the principal ones being
storms, both rain and snow, and in dealing with allow-
ances to be made on that score the agent should be
given quite a lot of discretionary power, or, in the
absence of that the claim should be passed upon by the
manager of the Car Service Association before pay-

. ment is made, and thus overcome the necessity of ask-

ing the return of money which should not have been
paid, and which the Association asa rule is slow to
give up. Ifthe agent were given the necessary power
it appears that better results would be effected, for the
reason that storms may be quite severe in a certain
Jocality and yet be quite local.

There is yet another cause why there should be more
reason used in levying demurrage charges, and which
is almost entirely overlooked, and that cause arises out
of the shortage of the car supply. A receiver of lum-
ber, we will assume, has handling capacity for say five
cars per day, naturally he places his order so that about
that many cars would reach him in every twenty-four

_ al THE CANADA LUMBERMAN

hours, but owing to scarcity of cars he receives only
(on an average say two cars per day, for perhaps three,
four or more weeks. This would result in quite a few
of that man’s orders being held at the mill or mills un-
filled. All at once cars become plentiful, all shippers
are supplied and all ship at the same time. The inevi-
table results is that instead of that recciver of lumber
getting five cars per day, he is apt to get many more
than he can handle through no fault of his whatever,
but because of the fact that he had his orders placed
and was in all probability being urged by the shipper
to take delivery of the goods, the reason for which be-
ing that on account of the scarcity of cars the shipper
was short of bottoms in his yard and was accordingly
forced to make shipment in order to make room for new
lumber, Now, I have said that the Railway people, or
the Car Service Association, overlook these conditions.
Well, not only do they overlook them but they often re-
fuse to consider them even when they are pointed out
and proot furnished as to their existence.

By the columns of the American Lumberman of
6th of December, I see that a contract has been en-
tered into by and between the manager of the Michigan
Car Service Association and the customers of the roads
in that state by which they get two days or forty-eight
hours in which to load and unload all commodities ex-
cepting coal, coke, lumber, logs at Grand Rapids,

tanbark, bones, glue stock, and hide trimmings, all of
which will be allowed three days or seventy-two hours,
and cargo and lightered lumber is to receive six days,
and the average time is to rule, which is to say, that
should two cars arrive on the same day and be placed
for unloading or loading by noon of that day and one
car is loaded or unloaded, as the case might be, before
the expiration of that day, the other car might remain
untouched for five days without creating any cause for
car rental, as the two days’ credit due on the first car
would take care of the two days’ overtime on the
second car. We do not suppose that the railway
people make money out of their cars when they are
standing under load, and we know thitthey cannot use
these same cars to supply oiher customers, and we
believe that they would much prefer the use of the car
to the $1.00 per day which is collected as car rental,
for which reasons they should receive very careful cuu-
sideration, but the railway people should at the same
time see the matter from the position of the owner of .
the goods, who may have several cars under load
worth anywhere trom $200 to $600 per car and yet
through some cause beyond his coutrol be unable to
release them. This same lumber may have been order-
ed weeks before to take care of certain orders. The
Railway Company were short of cars, goods did not
arrive, orders were cancelled which might have caused
him serious loss and all through no fauit of his, and it
may trouble him greatly to take care of the lumber, but
on top of all this if he happens to be a few days behind
on one or two cars, the Association steps in and levies
a charge for car rental, and thus increases a trouble
which is many times of their own making.

Summing up the whole situation and giving both
sides due consideration, I am sure that I voice the feel-
ing of many, if not quite all the shippers in this district,
when I say that, if an agreement could be reached be-
tween the Car Service Association and the shippers of
Ontario on the same general lines which form the
agreement between the manager of the Michigan Car
Service Association and the patrons of the different
roads in that State, it would accomplish a great amount
of good and go a long way towards creating a better
feeling between the Railway people and many of their
customers. I would like very much to have the views
of other readers who may be interested in this ques-
tion. Thanking you for your space, I remain,

Yours truly,
J. H. LAVALLEE.

GOOD OPENING FOR A SAW MILL.
New LISKEARD, TEMISCAMING DisTRICT,

NEw Ontario, February 11th, 1903.
Editor CANADA LUMBERMAN :

Dear Sir, —If you know of anyone desiring to
change their place of saw mill business, we have a
good location here fora man having some capital to
Start on and a good knowledge of the business. A
portable mill of thirty or thirty-five horse power with
planer and shingle machine would be most suitaple.

The site is six and a half miles from New Liskeard,
on the corner of two main government graded roads,
and it is now expected that the new railway is likely to
come close toit. There is plenty of timber close by,
including spruce, pine, cedar, tamarac, whitewood, etc. :
We have a school there and the government is going
to open up a post office on 1st April and a store is to
be started. There is a good demind for lumber,
beside a large amount of custom work. Ivis realy a
good opening for a good man.

6 | ‘THE CANADA LUMBERMAN

MICHIGAN’S LUMBER INDUSTRY.
(By OUR TRAVELLING REPRESENTATIVE.)

While in Bay City and West Bay City many of the
dealers were calculating upon the probable cut, this
season, of Canadian pine, and whether a heavy crop of
logs would have a tendency to lower prices. One dealer
told me that if prices went any higher he would quit
and go south for his pine. In a Jarge number of the
yards I saw plenty of hemlock and southern pine in
stock, but very little Canada pine.

The firm of Mershon, Schuette, Parker & Company
are at present the largest holders of Canada pine
lumber in Michigan. This company is composed of W.
B. Mershon, Wm. Schuette, F. E. Parker, Selwyn
Eddy, S. L. Eastman and E. C. Mershon, and they are
wholesale dealers in and manufacturers of white pine
lumber, sash, doors and blinds, box shooks, etc., with
mills and yards at Saginaw and Bay City.

Many of the members of the Michigan Retail Lum-
bermen’s Association, after their convention in Detroit,
took advantage of the invitation of Henry A. Stephens
& Company to be the latter’s guests in a four days’ trip
through northeastern Michigan lumber districts. Be-
fore the meeting adjourned the Secretary, Arthur L.
Holmes, was unanimously endorsed by the association
for the position of U. S. Internal Revenue Collector.

I had intended to be initiated into the mysterious

articles of association with the State at Lansing, among
which I noticed the Grand Rapids Cabinet Company,
with a capital of $100,000; the Churchill Lumber Com-
pany, of Alpena, $50,000 ; the Cadillac Cabinet Com-
pany, of Detroit, $100,000 ; and others of more or less
interest to the lumbering industry.

I found Battle Creek thriving and hustling. Although
this city is called ‘‘Food-town” because of its world-
wide renown in the patent food line, it has other and
growing industries, among which are the American
Column Company and the Stenhouse Mfg. Company,
both of whom are contemplating an invasion of the
Canadian market. The three leading lumber firms in
this city are North & Strong, L. B. Clapp and H. K.
Haak, all doing a good business. A great many busi-
ness men whom I conversed with were visibly impress-
ed by the fact that over forty thousand American citi-
zens last year crossed the Canadian frontier to perma-
nently settle there.

I left Battle Creek ina raging storm and ran into a
regular blizzard at Kalamazoo—so named from the
Ke-Kenamazoo river, or ‘‘Boiling Pot,” as it was called
by the Indians; street cars were stalled, electricity
staggered and the schools closed. The oldest inhabi-
tant had on his “‘thinking cap.” In the midst of it I
received a hearty welcome at the offices of the Wm. E.
Hill Company. This firm are extensive manufacturers

their advertisement in this issue will be of interest to
our lumbermen. I also had pleasure in securing the pic-
ture of the company’s planing mill, presented herewith.

At Muskegon is situated the Rogers Iron Works,
whose combination edgers and siding machines are
known all over the continent. In order to get through
to the north I returned to Grand Rapids. Whilst there
I learned that J. P. Underwood, of Chicago, and E.
Mariner, of Milwaukee, had purchased two thousand
acres of Louisiana timber land from Major Watson, who
died many years ago in Grand Rapids. It has been
discovered that the titles are defective and the estate
is being sued for the purchase price, $20,000 and
$6,000 expenses.

The J. F. Quigley Company, at Grand Rapids, who
are large specialists in hardwood lumber, have already
entered the Canadian field. Mr. Quigley is one of the
best known lumbermen on this side of the line. This
company’s advertisement will be found in another
column. ;

Whilst talking to one of the F. & F. Company, I
learned that they would wind up their Michigan and
Wisconsin business this vear. The last of their limits
was to be cut down this season. They held land in the
upper peninsula which had cost 50 cents an acre. It is

stated that Thomas Friant, of this company, at Thomp- :

son, Schoolcraft county, is one of the wealthiest men

lumbermen’s order of Hoo-Hoo, but not having been
notified, I failed to connect, much to my dissappoint-
ment. The Hoo-Hoos held their concatenation rites at
9.09 p. m. on the 9th day of the new moon, with a
wealth of ceremony. Nineteen new members paid the
initiation fee of $9.99 and were taxed 99 cents per year
for dues. Several times, I hear, nine blind kittens were
sacrificed in the ceremony, which took 99 minutes.
Those who had no “‘middle’”” name were given one—a

choice selection being always on hand, such as Culls, b

Ripsaw, Rollway, Resaw, Filer, Knots, Millrun, Shaky,
Clear, etc., etc.

Long before the white man set foot in the Saginaw
valley it was known to the Indians as the ‘‘land of milk
and honey,” and many a war was waged between the
tribes for its possession. Here the red man lived and
roamed the then dense forest, without care and without
want. The first house was built in Bay City in 1835.
The lumber industries of the Saginaw Valley had a
world-wide reputation and the amount of logs, timber
and lumber that has been cut there in the past runs up
into billions of feet.

I saw an enormous lot of basswood and poplar bolts
on the Pere Marquette Railway, which had been ship-
ped from Graham Station to Port Huron_and Saginaw
firms.

From Bay City I went direct to Lansing, the capital
of the state. It did not impress me as a very keen
competitor of the other Michigan cities, in fact it is
slow-going. However, it needs quietness for legisla-
A number of corporations have filed

of a regular and improved line of saw-mill machinery.
Mr. Anthony S. Hill is the manager, and Mr. Dumont
A. Shepardson the secretary, assisted by a gentleman-
ly and efficient staff. I predict for this company a
good business in Canada in the near future. North &
Coon and the Van Bochove Sons Mfg. Company, both
large lumber dealers, said. business was on the in-
crease and by the appearance of their mills the
fact was self-evident.

At Grand Rapids they say they are turning out as
much furniture as ever, with a steady demand for all
kinds of hardwood. . Basswood is particularly scarce
in these parts. Many pine and hardwood dealers are
now getting car lots shipped direct from Canada by the
smaller mill owners, and the lumbermen here say it is
profitable to advertise for offers in the CANADA LUMBER-
MAN want columns.

Whilst in the office of Mr. Walter Clark, 535 Michi-
gan Trust Building, I met Mr. A. H. Clemmer, of Tor-
onto, also there on business. The former is building
up a fine veneer, mahogany and oak business. Mun-
son & Company, of Mill street, are talking of entering

the Canadian field with a device for balancing planer |

knives. Messrs. A. H., David and Geo. Engel, whom
I saw, stated that the lumbering industry was flourish-
ing, and they were experiencing the effect of the wave
of prosperity.

From Grand Rapids to Muskegon is an easy run.
At the latter place I saw the enterprising firm of Mann,
Watson & Company, the leading lumber dealers in the
district. They will likely enter the Canadian field, and

in Michigan. He was recently offered four millions of
dollars for a tract of southern pine, which would have-
yielded him a handsome profit. When asked why he
did not sell, he answered, ‘‘What would I do with that
amount of money?”

I visited Perkins & Company, who are manufactur-
ers of gas engines and yachts, as well as a\Jine of wood-
‘working machinery. Their large works on River
street present a busy scene. They have built and de-
signed specially tor shallow waters a gasoline boat,
which is a marvel of neatness. It is for the use ot a
lumbering firm near Corpus Christi, Texas, and has a
draught of 16 inches. The length of this boat is 50
feet and width 11 feet. The Perkins Company are also
manufacturing two towing tugs for the Central Ameri-—
ca banana trade, both using gasoline, one of 24 h. p.
and one of 18 h. p. This company intend to build
these launches suitable for lumbering on our Canadian

streams. The framework of these boats is oak, the
planking of cypress. See their advertisement in this
issue.

Grand Rapids is a great center for river, logging,
swamping and cruising shoes. The two largest deal-
ers in the state are the Herold-Bertsch Shoe Company,
of 507 Pearl street, and Rindge, Kalmbach, Logie &
Company,of 11 Ionia street. Both these companies do
an enormous business in supplying the great demands
of the lumber camps. Large experience in meeting
the wants of the woodsmen has brought their product to
a high state of perfection, adequate to the severe re-
q uirements of the camp.

The Crane Lumber Company, of Grand Rapids
and Frankfort, has been adjudged bankrupt. They
were active participants in the Northern Michigan
lumbering industry.

The first logging road in the United States is said to
have been built in Ottawa county, Michigan, in 1856,
by the Blendon Lumber Company.,. The engine used
was one of the first that ran on the old Michigan Cen-
tral and said to be the fourth ever used in the United
States ona railway. This road was eight miles long
and had wood rails at first. Later, the discardec strap
iron once used on the wooden rails of the Michigan
Southern R. R. were placed on this logging track.

The late Winfield Scott Gerrish is also credited
with being the pioneer in logging railways and logging
cars. He built the first one from Lake George to the
Muskegon river—about two miles in length.

At Reed City I did not find much of interest, so I
moved on to Evart, the headquarters of one of the
largest lumber tool and handle works in the world—
the Champion Tool & Handle Works. This company
de an immense business and I was shown tens of
thousands of handles in the process of air drying and
seasoning. They have been thirty years at the busi-
ness and their equipment is completely modern. In no

_ business is a more critical test required of a working

implement than in that of handling logs.. The extensive
works of this company are well worth a visit of inspec-
tion, and if at any time any of our lumbermen are near
Evart, Mich., I would suggest a visit to this mammoth
plant, where they will be well received by the courteous

First BUILDING ERECTED WHERE THE CITY OF CADILLAC,
SYMicu., now STANDs.

gentlemen composing ithe Champion Tool & Handle
Works. They are already doing a big trade in Canada,
‘following the lumber industry ” closely.

At Evart Wm. R. Shore is the leading wholesale and
retail dealer in lumber. He makes a specialty of kiln
dried maple flooring, and is certainly wide-awake and
up-to-date.

Cadillac used to be situated in the pine belt of Michi-

- gan,now it is really in the hardwood belt. The town, by

a judicious system of bonuses or bonding,has increased
wonderfully. Situated on the banks of the Little Clam
Lake, it presents a beautiful appearance at all times.
In 1871 this was an unbroken wilderness of pine and
hardwood timber. We give herewith a cut of the first
building erected where the city of Cadillac now
stands.

This old historic house has held within its walls all
the lumber pioneers. Cadillac was and is to-day the
center of the lumber interests of Northern Michigan.
Among the enterprising firms in the lumber industry
are Wilcox Bros., Smith & Staples, Cummer Manufac-
turing Company, J. Goldie, and others who were un-
fortunately away when I called. Cadillac is a live
town and its progressive citizens seem to be on the
alert to give the place the standing it deserves. To the
editor and publisher of the Cadillac News I am indebted
for much information respecting the remarkable growth
of this city and its brilliant future. No place that I
know of has brighter prospects ahead.

The pine in this region,as elsewhere, is rapidly going,
but there is considerable hemlock and hardwoods. A
farmer near Traverse City cut a single elm tree which

scaled 5,976 feet, for which he was paid $83.24 or $14 ~

per thousand. Fifteen years ago $20.00 would have
been a fabulous price for the same tree.

Over at Manistee on the lake shore I found the Man-
istee Iron Works, who are manufacturing Geo. R. Ray’s
patent twin engine steam
saw-mill carriages. In this
a cut of this
pany is one

of the most progressive I have
The testimonials they have received from
the Atlantic to the Pacific testify in words of high praise
the excellence of their machines.

The J. O. Batey Saw & Supply Company and the S.
C. Overpack Company may enter the Canada field
very shortly. They recognize the fact that the lumber
industry is shifting across the border to stay.

I also had the pleasure ot meeting Mr. Patrick Noud,
Sr., a veteran lumberman of Manistee and a born Can-
uck. Mr. G. E. Anthony, who is an extensive dealer in
railway supplies, intends to cater to the logging rail-
way trade in Canada.

To get to Northern Michigan I decided to go to Lud-
ington and crossed Lake Michigan on the fine new
steel steamship ‘‘ Pere Marquette No. 18.” It was a
winter trip and I shared it with one other passenger, a
traveller for a Chicago belting firm. I took the train
at Manitowoc, Wisconsin, for Menominee, Northern
Michigan. At the latter place I met among others a
fotmer Canadian, Mr. J. M. Thompson, of the Wolver-
ine Cedar & Lumber Company, and the C. J. Huebel
Company, both of which are very large concerns. Here
the indications were plainly evident that the pine indus-
try had gone rever to return. The de-
serted piling grounds, the rotting beams,
told the same old tale that I had seen in
the Saginaw Valley, and as in the latter
district, so in Menominee, they are turn-
ing to new industries. A beet root sugar
company is building a plant to cost
$800,000, one of the largest in the west.

At Menominee a new scheme for the in-
surance rating of lumber has been intro-
duced. Hereafter all lumber owners
agreeing to insure their lumber up to 80
per cent. of its cash value, will receive a
reduction of 10 per cent. from the new
rate. If they make an agreement to in-
sure up to 80 per cent. of the cash value
and do not do so and then have a loss by

" fire they can only recover such per cent. of
their loss as their insurance bears to the
cash value of the property.

In one of the northern lumber camps the
record for big loads of logs has again been broke,a load
of pine logs containing 20,000 feet having been hauled
by a single team at one of the Peshtigo Lumber Com-
pany’s camps, about eighteen miles west of Wausaukee.
‘“‘ Dunc” Taylor is the woodsman who beat the record.
The previous record had been held by ‘‘ Sherin ” Bush,
of Crivitz, who loaded 16,098 feet of pine logs on a
sleigh and with a single team hauled it a distance of
over two miles without a stop.

I noticed that in the hotel where I stopped petitions
were being circulated asking the State Senate and
House of Representatives to pass a bill changing the
railway fare on the upper peninsula roads from four to
three cents a mile. This section is sparsely settled and
four cents a mile seems rather excessive.

Speaking of the rapidly diminishing pine an official
said: ‘‘ The future of this country depends on agricul-
ture. The iron and the copper will go the way of the
forests. There are still thousands of acres of hard-
wood, maple, birch and hemlock, and the manufacture
of flooring, etc., has got a good start.” The factories
at Hermansville and Crystal Falls are doing a good
business. On the hardwood lands the soil is rich
enough for grain growing.

Senator Moriarity, of Crystal Falls, said there was
little grain growing so far inthe upper peninsula. Dick-
son County is still putting out some spruce, pulpwood
and cedar.

At Calumet, John S. Morrison, one of the heaviest
operators, said the weather had been ideal for a good
cut during the past winter. The contractors were
skidding their logs as rapidly as possible in January
and February, getting out also a large amount of
sqnare timber.

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN 17

In the Lake Superior copper district there has been
great changes. Not long ago the mines used hardwood
for fuel, cutting it right back of their boiler houses.
Now the available timber is all gone and they are all
using coal. North of Portage Lake the timber is pretty
thoroughly cut off.

At Houghton men were so scarce there last winter
that loggers had to pay the highest wages ever paid
and to furnish a table that many a hotel could not fur-
nish in order to hold the men after they had got them.
As it is there has been a good deal of shifting in the
camps, and various devices to hold the men resorted
to. Around Cadillac and Menominee I was told
there had been a floating ‘‘tramp” element amongst
all the camps. Every man presenting himself was given
4 pass to the camps.

From Northern Michigan I went west into Wisconsin.

At the old Mason House at Clam Lake gathered the
pioneer lumbermen who voted themselves into a muni-
Cipality. At the first election of officers one hundred
votes were cast; to reach this round number some ne-
groes employed as laborers were permitted to put in
their ballots. This was the beginning of Cadi'lac.
The grand forest which then existed has neary all
disappeared—

“Where then grew tall the mighty pines
Is now marked off by city lines.”

Logging camps on a small scale are, however, oper-
ating near Cadillac at Bunyea and Harrietta, which I
personally inspected. Speaking to an old lumberman
he said that when he came into the country twenty-five
years ago there were no clearings north of Reed City,
just the railway track through a wilderness of tall pines.
The first religious meeting he attended was held over a
saloon. During the summer these gatherings, when the
weather permitted, were held on a scow, which was
decorated with pine boughs, lighted with lanterns and
towed out into the lake by a littie rafting tug.

Fifteen years ago lumbermen said at Cadillac: “In
flve years more the pine will be gone and then your
town will be dead.’’ But still the hum of the saw mill
goes merrily on, for the last of the great pine forests is
being moved down the iron ways to the city.

In the hardwoods of Northern Michigan the sugar
maple predominates, with soft, grey and rock elm next
in quantity, then follow birch, black ash and some bass-
wood. Red oak, white ash,cherry and bird’s eye maple
are scarce. The grey and soft elm is considerably
sought by the stave and heading factories, whilst the
rock elm is used for hames. The rock elm has taken
the place of hickory somewhat in the making of cutters,
buggies, etc., because it has been found to be nearly if
not quite as good. In New York and points east it is
known as hickory elm.

At Cadillac one of the largest mills in Northern Mich-
igan is located, cutting timber which comes forty to
seventy miles away. The pines have led the way and
the hardwoods are following.

‘* What was the song of the dark plumed pines,
When thro’ their densely glades
The bright warm smile of the morning shines,
And her fairies chased the shades ?

Keep the bright blade ringing

Keep the keen axe swinging !”

Another old logger told me of the lively days gone
by when the big hardy Canadian woodsman came over
by the hundreds. Money flowed like water. A mins-
trel show came up and gave two performances to
crowds of lumbermen. The show was held in an ice-
house, the ice being piled up at one end to form the
stage.

Cadillac has what is known locally as the ‘‘ Lakeside
Boulevard,” being nothing less than a beautiful gravel-
led roadway clear around Little Clam Lake, over seven
miles. The city can well support industries or manu-
factories which are progressive enough to reach out tor
the world’s trade and not remain solely of local im-
portance.

Much money is this spring being spent on
the sawmills of Ontario to properly equip them
for what is expected to be the busiest season
yet experienced. Foundries are working day
and night on rush orders, and everything not
required immediately is laid aside in the hope
of a let-up after the mills resume. A ‘‘inan of
the road” who recently returned from the Al-
goma district tells of a universal complaint by
mill-men of inability to obtain machinery when
wanted. They have placed orders with United
States concerns, he says, and are willing to
pay the duty in order to secure early delivery.

* *

One engaged in the business took occasion
to express his approval of the remarks in the
February LUMBERMAN concerning the low prices
obtaining for manufactured wood-work. They
were especially applicable to sashes and doors.
‘I cannot understand,” he remarked, ‘‘why
some concerns continue to sell their output at
such a small margin of profit. Of course prices
are better than they were some time ago, but
Our
policy has been to curtail production whenever
we find that there is not a reasonable profit,
and if other manufacturers would do likewise
the trade would be ina healthier condition.”
Touching on this point is aletter which ap-

there was great need for improvement.

The writer was lately accorded the privilege
of meeting a gentleman who for nearly half a
century has been connected with the lumbering
industry.
Kendall, millwright, of Ottawa known in all
parts of the Dominion as a peer among the
builders of saw mills. Recently he has been
associated with Louis Miller & Company, a
Scotch concern which has located limits and
erected mills in Newfoundland. As a mill-
wright Mr. Kendall has been afforded ample
opportunity to witness the saving in timber
that can often be effected by economical saw-
ing. He is a strong advocate of the use of

This gentleman was Mr. Isaac N.

thin saws and contends that in this respect the
Swedes have distanced us very noticeably.
Scme Swedish machines have been introduced
in this country and have been found to give

good results. ‘*‘Within ten years,” said Mr. —

Kendall, ‘‘twice as much lumber will be’manu-
factured from small logs with a given number
of men as is produced to-day, and this result
will be brought about by the introduction of
new machines and the employment of thinner
saws for slabbing and other purposes. I look
for wonderful changes in the sawmilling busi-
ness in the next few years.”” Mr. Kendall then
drew my attention to the reference to the
Rodgers’ log siding machine which appeared
in the February LumMBerman. He pointed out
that’ the William Hamilton Company, of
Peterborough, Ont., have been manufacturing
a similar machine for twenty years, and with
splendid success. It has on different occasions
sided 2,200 sixteen-foot logs in eleven hours,
many of the logs passing through the machine
a second time to take off a siding. He believes
it to be equal to anything of the kind on the
market.

Mr. John Layton, of Shubenacadie, N. S., has
recently sold out his lumber business at that place to
Messrs. Holman & Johnson. Mr. Layton intends re-
moving to California. ;

The Dodge Manufacturing Company, of Toronto,
have issued the third edition of their B6 catalogue. It
is a most complete work. Besides illustrating and
describing their general line of power transmission ma-
chinery, many useful rules and tables are given, such

as table of circumference and area of circles, weight
table of round and square iron, etc. In the front of
the book is shown a view of their new works at Toronto

Junction, the largest plant in Canada devoted exclu-

sively to the manufacture of power transmission ma-
chinery. ’

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO. ;

For some time it has been freely pre-
dicted that lumber prices would experi-
ence no recession before midsummer at
the earliest, and that the strength of the
market might continue throughout the
Recently natural conditions have
combined to strengthen this view. The
most important of these conditions, per-
haps, is the early break-up of winter and
the consequent cessation of logging oper-
ations. In the Georgian Bay district
large quantities of logs have been left on
the skids, one firm alone having five
million feet thus hung up. It is estimated
that there will be an average shortage
from this cause of 10 per cent. from the
output calculated on for the season, while
the possibility of a further shortage
through low water for driving purposes

year.

spring created a
usual for lumber

larger demand than
during March, and
stocks are now running low, some grades
and sizes of white pine being almost out
of the market. A few mills which carried
logsoverare already resuming operations,
but the product will not be in shipping
condition for at least two months. In the
meantime dealers are finding difficulty in
filling orders, which are daily increasing.
As might be expected under such con-
ditions, prices are. irregular.“ Where a
buyer finds a quantity of a certain grade
of lumber which he is actually in need of
to supply a customer, he usually accedes
to the demands of the seller, even if his
price is above the market quotation.
There is, however, no desire on the part
of the lumber trade to advance prices to
an abnormal basis, although conditions
alone may bring this about.

Several orders have recently been
placed for box lumber, which is scarce in
the Eastern States. Manufacturers are
asking $13 at the mill for 1x10 box and
mill culls, $14.50 for 14 inch, and $13.50
for 1%x12 inch. An improvement in the
demand for Norway lumber is reported.
Common and dressing, 2x6 and 7 inch,
brings $13.50 at the mill, and 2x8 inch $15
for 12 to 16 foot lengths. For 10 and 12-
inck $16.50 is asked.

The hardwood market has been a repe-
tition of past weeks. There is good buy-
ing wherever dry stock can be located
and no small amount of contracting for
the future cut. Mill run maple and birch
are held around $16. There are no signs
of weakness on account of the approach
of the sawing season.

QUFBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

A noticeable improvement in the spruce
lumber market is reported. Manutac-
turers are receiving numerous inquiries for
stock. A heavy demand from South Amer-
ica has offset the slight falling off in British
trade. Deals have brought as much as
$14 alongside ship for a specification of
fifty per cent. 7 and 8 inch and fifty per
cent. ginch and up. There has been an
advance of about $2 per thousand in the
price of spruce clapboards for shipment
to the Eastern States. Local trade is also
picking up. It is said that the yards have
not been so bare of stock in twenty years.
Box shooks fiud a market as readily as
manufactured. Shingles are exhibiting
more activity, and with this activity has
come a slightly better tone to the market.
While sales of extras for Boston delivery
are still reported as low as $3.35, all the
large manufacturers are refusing to con-
tract below $3.40, and some sales are said

;

Il.

to have been made at $3.45. The condi-
tions would seem to be in favor of higher
prices for shingles.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Lumber manufacturers and dealers cat-
ering to the Noith-West market are ex-
periencing some difficulty in meeting the
demand for lumber. Not that there is an
inadequate supply, but with the early
spring has come a rush of orders for im-
mediate shipment which is taxing the
capacity of the yards to handle. Car
shortage is still drawback.
Manufacturers have many orders on
their books for lumber and shingles, and
if it had been possible to secure cars for
making shipments, they would now be in

a serious

much better position to cope with the
spring trade. From the standpoint of
orders and prices no complaint can be
made. Business is good, with indications
of the best year yet experienced. The
pending labor difficulties at Winnipeg and
Vancouver will, it is believed, be satisfac-
torily settled at an early date, and there
will then be removed almost the only ob-
stacle to an active building season.

UNITED STATES.

The tone of the Inmber market has sel-
dom, if ever, been stronger than at the
From all sections of the
country come reports of increasing busi-
ness, from which it is concluded that the
high price of lumber is not affecting build-
ing operations. Stocks in the east are
very light, but promise to be augmented in
the near future upon the opening of navi-
gation.
point of demand throughout the Eastern
States, and some dealers have recently
marked up prices to a still higher basis.
In the Lake Superior district No. 3 and
better lumber is being sold at from $18 to
$18.50, which weuld make this: class of
stock $21 for Chicago delivery. There is
no dry piece stuff and much of that to be

for. The opening price by cargo is based
on $16.50 for No. 1 short dry pine piece
stuff, Chicago delivery. Hemlock contin-

ial advance on several items.

Similiar
action was taken by the Wisconsin manu-
facturers of hardwood lumber. The new
list will be found in another column. The
conditions of trade are such that there is
no price cutting but a very general dis_
position to adhere to the list. The quantity
of hardwood logs taken out the past winter

has not been large and it is estimated that .

more than one-half of the production has
already been placed undercontract. Thick
maple and basswood are scarcer than
other lines.

GREAT BRITAIN.

The British market is exhibiting a more
cheerful tone and representatives of Cana-
dian shippers have succeeded recently in
placing considerable stock. There is an
increasing inquiry trom the East Coast for
spruce deals. This is owing to the high
prices asked for Baltic whitewood. An

ordinary specification of 60 to 65 per cent.

of 7 and 8-inch spruce is selling at £7 ros
c.i.f. West Coast ports, and for small
cargoes of the same specification £7 15s

has been paid. Consumption is more ac-
tive, which is regarded as a favorable in-
dication on account of the probability of
an early opening of navigation. Holders
of stock are seizing every opportunity to
reduce their supply so as to be in a posi-
tion to receive new shipments, but not-
withstanding this fact prices have been
maintained and in some cases advanced.
A quantity of first quality Quebec pine,
2x8inch, brought £22 10s at a recent
public sale. Waney pine is exceedingly
firm. Belfast importers have contracted
on the basis of 3s 9d per foot c.i.f. for 18-
inch. This, so far as can be learned, is
the maximum figure that has yet been
paid.

STOCKS AND PRICES.
Carnweth’s steam mil! has finished saw-
ing 250,000 feet of lumber at Memel, N.B.

The barque Avonia is loading dea‘s at
Hopewell Cape, N. B., for the United
Kingdom.

J. L. Scott & Son, of Chatham, Ont.,
recently purchased 20,000 cedar posts for
the spring trade. ‘

The Moyie Lumber Company, of Moyie,
B. C., expect to have 10,000,000 feet of
logs to supply their mills during the com-
ing season.

The lumber clearances from St. John,
N.B., for the United States tor the week
ending March 2ist included 1,168,000 feet
of long lumber, 4,000,000 lath, and 425,-
ooo shingles.

It is understood that Harold Kennedy,
of Quebec, who has recently been in Eng-
land, has placed his season’s output of
birch timber with Joseph Owen & Sons,
Limited, of Liverpool.

Revelstoke citizens are staking out 90
miles of timber locations under special
licenses in the Big Bend country. This is
the largest tract of timber land ever taken
up under special license.

The Alex. Gibson Railway & Manufac-
turing Company, of Marysville, N.B., have
finished logging operations on the Nash-
waak river. The cut has been in the vicin-
ity of 30,000,000 feet. Asthe ice is al-
ready out of most of the tributaries of the
Nashwaak, stream driving will be com-
menced ina short time.

Under date of March 14th Messrs. Clair-
monte, Man & Company say of the Barba-
does market: ‘“‘ We have had no arrival
with lumber during the fortnight. Our
yards are still barely supplied, and
during reaping season, now
going on, there is always a good de-
mand. Prices are as follows: White pine,
$26 for first quality and $21 for second
quality; spruce, $22.50 for first and $19.-
50 for second quality. Last sales of Gaspe
long cedar shingles were made at $4.89 to
$5.04, but they are now worth more.
Cedar laying shingles are worth $1.82 and
spruce laying $1.65 to $1.70.”

It is estimated that the cut of logs on
the south branch of the Oromocto river, in
New Brunswick, this winter was in the
neighborhood of 6,000,000 feet. Smith
Bros. have got about three and one-half
millions, which they will manufacture at
their own mill, and about 1,500,009 has
been cut for John E. Moore, of St. John,
Hilyard Bros. have about 1,500,000 at

French Lake, which will likely be manu-
factured at St. John. W. J. Scott, who
operates for Murchie & Sons, at Deer
Lake, has finished his season’s work in
that locality. The recent soft weather
ruined the hauling and he was obliged to
leave 1,700 pieces in the woods.

turers Association of Wisconsin have

SHIPPING MATTERS.

The steamer Brooklyn has been char-
tered by Clarke Bros. to load lumber at
Digby and Bear River, N. S., for the
West Indies.

The following charters are reported:
Steamer Carman, Pugwash, N. S., to w.
ce. England, deals, 36s, May-June loading;
Barque Globus, Yarmouth, N. S., to Bue-
nos Ayres, lumber, $8; Robert Scrofton,
Bridgetown, N. B., to Buenos Ayres,
lumber, $8 ; Valuta, Campbellton, N. B.,
to Buenos Ayres, lum er, $8; Leviathan,
Tusket, N. S., to Buenos Ayres, lumber,
$7.75; Phyllis, St. John, N. B., to Buenos
Ayres, lumber, $7.75.

The Board of Managers of the Lumber
Carriers, in executive session at Detroit
on March 24th, fixed its season carrying
charges and decided upon the policy of
the organization during the coming sea-
son. Onthe main, the lumber carrying
rate will be about the same as it was last
season, with the exception of hemlock.
This was increased materially.

For the purpose of facilitating the work
of making differential rates between the
various points, the lakes were divided into

eight sections and the carrying charges
fixed as follows :—

Section No. 1—From the head of the
lakes to Keweenaw Point, to Chicago and
Lake Erie ports, pine, $2.50 per 1000 feet.

Section No. z2—From Keweenaw Point
to Whitefish Point, to Chicago and Lake
Erie ports, pine, $2.25 per 1000 feet..-

Section No. 3—Whitefish Point to De-
tour, to Chicago and Lake Erie ports,
pine $2 per 1000 feet.

Section No. 3—From Straits of Macki-
naw, including Lake Huron and Georgian
Bay, to Chicago and Lake Erie ports,
pine, $1.75 per 1000 feet; hemlock 25
cents extra.

Section No. 5—North end of Lake
Michigan to a line drawn from Green Bay
to Traverse City, to Lake Erie, $2 per
1000 feet.

Section No. 6—Including the balance
of Lake Michigan to Chicago, to Lake
Erie, $2.12} per 1000 feet; hemlock, 25
cents additional to above rates ; hardwood,
75 cents per 1000 additional.

Section No. 7—To Oswego, 75 cents
additional over Tonawanda rates.

Section No. 8—Including Ogdensburg,
$1 over Tonawanda rates.

From district No.1 to Bay City, pine,
$2.25. Timber6x6to 8x10 to pay 25
cents per 1000 over pine rates; roxio and
larger timber, 50 cents per 1000 feet extra
over board rates.

Separate rates were made trom St. Ig-
nace and Cheboygan to Chicago. They
were $1.75 on dry white pine; $1.87} on
green and 124 cents additional over above
rates on hemlock. Basswood same as
hardwood, 50 cents over pine rate.

No action was taken in regard to the
time of starting out, although all members
present favoured a late start. But few of
the owners of lumber tonnage have start-
ed to fit out, and it will probably be the
middle of April before they get under way
in full swing. -

nock & Company, Galt, Ont., has been appointed
manager of the Dowsley Spring and Axle Works, of
Chatham.

Mr. E. Letherby, of Midland, Ont., left early in
March onatrip to British Columbia, where he will
inspect the operations of the Ontario-Slocan Lumber
Company.

Mr. Frank Early, formerly contractor to the Pem-
broke Lumber Company, has been engaged to repre-

"sent the Waterous Engine Works Company, of Brant-

ford, in South Australia.

Mr. E. H. Lemay, the well-known lumber merchant
of Montreal, sailed trom New York for Great Britain
early in March. He expects to be absent about four
months and will visit Southern Italy, Germany and
France.

Official notification has been given of the appoint-
ment of Mr. W. L. Griffith, Canadian government

As previously announced, Mr. Fred Robinson, of
Revelstoke, B. C., has disposed of his lumber interests
at that place. It is learned that Mr. Robinson will
visit the Southern States for a short time and after-
wards settle down at his old home in Keswick, Ont.,
where he still has considerable interests. In recog-
nition of the esteem in which he was held, the fellow-
citizens of Revelstoke and his employees presented
him with a handsome diamond ring. ;

The late Mr. J. A. Duff, whose death took place at
Cookstown on February 13th, was greatly interested in
the investigation of Canadian timber from the stand-
point of the engineer. He graduated from the School
of Practical Science in 1890, and was devising a sys-
tematic course of research and instruction in timber
physics along similar lines to those successfully carried

Pleased to send

out by the late Professor J. B. Johnson, of Wisconsin
University. He spent the summer of 1900 in Algon-
qvin Park examining the conditions of growth of
the pine timber and selecting trees for examination in
the School of Science. Unfortunately, owing to the
state of his health, he was obliged to discontinue
this work.

THE HILL STEAM NIGGER.

On another page of this issue will be found the ad-
vertisement of Wm. E. Hill & Company, the famous
manufacturers of heavy saw mill machinery, of Kala-
mazoo, Michigan. They have most fittingly chosen
for the sudject of their initial advertisement their
steam nigger or log turner.

This machine is undoubtedly one of the greatest
money makers and money savers ever put into a mill,
and it has done much to facilitate the handling of
lumber in the mill. Wm. E. Hill, the founder of this
company, was the inventor of the machine and lived to
see it in seventy-five per cent. of the mills of the United
States as wellas in a goodly number of Canadian mills.

As the bulk of Canadian mill men are, however, but
little acquainted with the merits of the truly wonderful
machine, we have deemed it advisable to print a short
description of the steam nigger for their benefit.

As may be seen from the cut, the machine consists,
roughly speaking, of a toothed bar which is raised and
lowered by two steam rollers. Its functions are not
only to turn logs but to act as a log loader, hand spiker
and straightener of long timber as well. A competent
sawyer can handle a log or even a board exactly as he
wants to, and with ease and rapidity place the log or
board in any desired position. All this is accomplished
by means of one lever, which is so arranged that by
giving it a circular movement steam can be given to
either cylinder or both at once if desired. If you wish
to rolla log from deck to carriage you move the lever
in the direction you wish tooth bar to go until the bar
is back of the log, then by reversing the lever and ad-
mitting steam into the bottom of the large one and top
of small one, the bar is moved forward and upwards,
forcing the log before it and placing it on the carriage:
Then by admitting more steam to both cylinders the
log can be turned to any desired position. The teeth
in bar are of a peculiar shape and, it is claimed, will

not mar the lumber. They are hinged and, as the bar
comes down, recede between the sides, or if they hit
the cant or board their shape causes them to recede
without marring the face of the stick.

One of these machines will, it is claimed, increase
the cut of any mill from 3,000 to 5,000 feet per day and
do away with two or three men now required to load
and turn logs, and the sawyer can do all that work

" easier and quicker without additional expense.

These machines are not some new experiment, but
a machine that has stood the test of years and one of
established reputation.

Wm. C. Hill & Company have the best equipped
works for turning out heavy band mills complete,
and are prepared to furnish complete plans and
estimates for any who contemplate
going into the saw mill business. Per-
sons interested in saw, shingle, lath or
pulp mill machinery should write for

tion of their entire line. Their address

WELL PLEASED WITH “AD.”

Grand Rapids, Mich., who recently in-
serted an advertisement in the CANADA

TWIN ENGINE STEAM FEEDS.

There has been considerable talk
about Geo. R. Ray’s patent twin engine
steam feeds, manufactured by the Man-
istee Iron Works Company, of Manistee,
Mich. This enterprising company are
now building these feed engines in two
styles, the parallel style and the angu-
lar style. The parallel style is design-
ed to be placed directly under the car-
riage, andis a very simple, compact
and durable machine. Its two main

valves are worked by lever
4 connection from the cross- ~
head of opposite engine,
after the manner of a
duplex pump, thus doing
away with the necessity
for eccentrics. This en-
ables them to bring the
two cylinders near togeth-
er, making a narrow en-
gine that goes in between
the track timbers, besides
shortening the steam pas-
sages between the central reverse valve
and the main valves.

The angular style is designed to be set
out from under the carriage, leaving that
space clear for main refuse conveyor from
log deck. It can be placed either between
the side of the mill and the carriage, or it
space is limited it can be placed outside
the mill frame, the crank shaft being made
of any length desired to suit the position.
The tail end of crank shaft is carried in
two heavy bracket boxes which rest on
top of the floor timbers, the engine frame
being bolted up to the underside of these
timbers. Preventer rollers are carried on
these tail boxes, one on each side of the
pinion, in mesh.

The cylinder, steam chest, slides, and
boxes are cast all in one piece so there are
no parts to get out of line and no main
joints to blow out.

The main valves are plain rolling valves,
held to their seats by flat springs between
valve stem and back of valve, to prevent
leakage of steam. The central reverse
valve is a simple plunger valve, one end
being serrated so the admission of steam while feeding
can be regulated as desired, and the other end straight
so as to let in full steam quickly for gigging. When
this valve is pushed down by the sawyer's lever the
engines run one way, and when it is pulled up they
reverse instantly.

Louis Sands’ mill at Lake City with a 14x16 feed
has cut as high as twenty-four sixteen foet boards per
minute.

The company guarantee that theirs is the quickest
feed in the market. The largest day’s cut yet made
with a band mill, they claim, was made with one of
their feeds, and we give below the result of time taken

—On the Great Northern Railway it has been decided
to use triangular ties, each of which contains about 10
feet less timber than the ordinary tie. The broad
surface of the ties on which the rail rests is twelve
inches wide. The apex of the triangle is seven inches
below the surface of the tie} There is thus a gain
of four inches in width over the old eight-inch ties,
which means that fewer are needed to a mile of the
road. The shape of the new ties produces constant
lamping into place, with resulting gain in rigidity.

—Recently a deputation, headed by John Charl-
ton, M.P., president of the Reading Camp Association,
asked the Ontario Government that yrants of $100 be
given to instructors in camps. The Public Libraries
Act of Ontario provides a grant of $100 for evening
classes in towns and villages. This is practically a
dead letter. There are at present only three cases
where it is taken advantage of, there being so many
other educational facilities in the older parts of the
Province, and the deputation urges that as one-half
of the revenue of the Province comes from the forest

and mines, such a grant should be available for the
camps.

The Manitoba Iron Works, of Winnipeg, have had
plans prepared for a new foundry to be built this

THE EXPORTATION OF PULP WOOD.

Touching the memorials that have been pre-
sent to the Quebec Government asking for a
greater rebate in favor ot home manufacture of
pulp wood, the views of Hon. S. N. Parent,
Minister of Lands and Fisheries, are set
forth in the last report of his Department, from
which we quote:

The question of duties to be imposed on
lumber exported in the raw state to be manu-
factured into paper abroad, continues to agi-
tate commercial circles. A good many mer-
chants, chiefly those who have embarked capi-
tal in pulp mills, are not satisfied with the dif-
ferential duties imposed on thisraw material
trom our province destined to supply American
factories.

According to these gentlemen, the duties are
not sufficiently prohibitive to enable American
capitalists to make a profit by manufacturing
that product on the spot, in this country; while
they also think them altogether insufficient to
compete to advantage with foreign competitors
in the sale of their products.

I have been called upon, on two or three oc-
casions, to decide as to the weight of these re-
presentations and I may say that it has been
impossible for me to accept them.

The chief obstacles to the increase asked for

arise, in the first place, from the fact that three- -

fourths of the material for these operations
comes from private property over which the
local government has no control; in the se-
cond place from lots sold to settlers who are
clearing land for farms and to whom the im-
position of an excessive duty would be odious.
In the former case these differential duties,
which cannot apply to lumber belonging to pri-
vate individuals, would depreciate to the same
extent the value of that cut under license which
would be affected thereby. In the latter case,
such an import would be considered unjust,
and, even if it were possible to have it admitted,
it would be impossible to collect it under such
conditions.

To beacceptable and equitable such a mea-

sure must reach all producers equally and with-

DUTY ON WOOD PULP.

The Board of Classification of the United
States General Appraisers have given their de-
cision in respect to the duty on pulp imported
from Canada. Theruling is against the pro-
vince of Quebec and in favor of the province of
Ontario. bs

There were two protestants in the case, F. .

W. Meyers & Company, acting for Hollings-
worth, Whitney & Company, of Boston, and
the Sault Ste. Marie Pulp & Paper Company,
of Sault Ste Marie, Ont. Two distinct ques-
tions were presented to the board. One re-
lated to pulp imported from Quebec, and the
other to pulp from Ontario. In each case the
pulp is made from wood cut on what are called
‘‘Crown lands.” Under the law of Quebec,
the Commissioner of Crown Lands is authoriz-
ed to grant licenses to cut timber on the un-
granted lands of the Crown, subjected to the
“‘stumpage tariff,” which provides that licen-
sees shall pay a tax of 65 cents per cord for pulp
wood cut, but a rebate is allowed of 25 cents
per cord on ‘‘timber manufactured into paper
pulp in the Dominion of Canada.” The Unit-
ed States Customs authorities levied an addi-
tional duty on pulp equal to the 25 cents rebate
allowed under a provision of the tariff tor an
additional duty equal to the export duty which
any country or dependency may impose. The’
Board of Classification has overruled the pro-'
test relating to the pulp from Quebec, and the
action of the collector in that id ak is.
sustained.

The same additional duty has been imposed ,
upon the pulp from Ontario. Under the law’
of that Province, however, no one is permitted

to cut pulp wood on Crown lands unless it is}

to be manufactured in Canada. As regards
importations from Ontario, the board held that
the Province of Ontario ‘‘levies no export duty
upon wood pulp exported from its limits, and,
therefore, the additional duty imposed by the

collector upon the merchandise from the Pro-
vince was improperly assessed, his decision on
that pointis reversed, and heis instructed to re-
liquidate the entry so as to assess no such ad-
ditional duty.”

It is expected that the case will be appealed
to the Federal courts.

NEW MANAGER FOR A PULP MILL.
MONTREAL, March 12th, 1903.
Editor CANADA LUMBERMAN :

Dear Sir,—I noticed an item in your paper that Mr.

This is not so, as Mr. Joseph A. Fessidle has been

PULP NOTES.
The pulp mill of the St. George Pulp & Paper
Cempany at St. George, N. B., is expected to be in
operation by May ist.

The substructure has been completed for J. R.

Booth’s new pulp mill at the Chaudiere. The hydraulic —

installation for this mill is in the hands of the Jenckes
Machine Company, of Sherbrooke, Que.

James L. Newton, of Watertown, N. Y., has pur-
chased from the Quebec government two water powers
on the Pentecost river in Lower St. Lawrence. It is
Mr. Newton’s intention to form a company to manu-
facture lumber and pulp.

The mechanical pulp mill and the paper mill of the
Imperial Paper Mills Company at Sturgeon Falls,
Ont., will be running this month, when 45 tons of paper
will be produced daily. The output is shortly to be
increased to 120 tons per day and it is intended to
erect a sulphite mill in the near future.

A representative of Harmsworth Bros., proprietors
ot the London Daily Mail and other British periodicals,
recently interviewed the New Brunswick government

in respect to securing a location for a large pulp mill.

The location of the proposed mill is at Grand Falls, on

the Nepisiguit river, in Gloucester county, where an -

engineer is now surveying the water power. Messrs.

Harmsworth require about 1,000 tons of paper a week
It is reported that they

for their various publications.
will invest $2,500,000 in building a sulphite pulp mill
of a.capacity of 350 tons per week and a mechanical
pulp mill of 600 tons per week.

Charles B. Campbell sums up the cost of making a
ton of mechanical pulp as follows : The cost of getting

timber from the pulp areas will average 4 dollars. per
cord; much of it will cost more if the government insists

sufficient timber to make a ton of pulp will, therefore,

that local paper mills show a disposition to manufacture
their own chemical pulp, and frequently the surplus is
put upon the market. There are some thirty pulp
-factories with a daily production of 600 tons, and one-

third must be exported, which is a difficult matter
owing to the geographical position of the Empire.
Manufacturers look to Belgium, Great Britain, France
and Italy, but find it a hard task to meet Scandinavian
competition.

At a recent meeting of the American Sulphite Manu-
facturers Association, held in New York, the question
of price cutting was discussed. The total daily pro-
duction of unbleached sulphite for the market is esti-

mated at 1,000 tons of pulp made by the mills in the
United States and 200 tons imported. For this quantity
there is a good demand, so the manufacturers say, and
they add that there is no reason why any maker of sul-
phite should cut the price of the association. The
agreed upon minimum asking” price of the Association
is 2cents. This price, from all accounts, has not been
insisted on for a number of months. The range seems
to be from 1.85 to 2 cents. To sell for less than 1.85 is
evidently considered an offence by most of the sulphite
manufacturers, That there have been some such sales
is common report. But since the week the manufac-
turers have confidence that price cutting will end.

Mark W. Marsden, of Philadelphia, Pa., has been
granted a patent covering a machine for pulping or
disintegrating fibrous materials, wherin the pulping
operation shall be practically continuous and shall be
accomplished in a speedy and efficient manner, the
machine being also available as a pulp washer. The
machine comprises a vat or tank and duplicate sets or
pairs of compression rolls arranged within the tank at
opposite sides thereof. The rolls of each set are super-
posed one above the other and are arranged to be
driven at different speeds through the intervention of
suitable gearing. The rolls are formed with smooth
cylindrical faces and the upper roll of each set is mov-

te
a

able with respect to its mate, so that an adjustment
can be effected to accommodate the rolls to coarse or
fine cut material. The action of the rolls upon the
fibrous material is a peculiar rubbing action, as contra-
distuingished from that of a beating machine, so that
the fibres are obtained in a long, good, strong con-
dition. The movement is practically a synchronous
one, motion being imparted from one set of wheels to
the other, so that an even and continuous circulation of
the material is obtained, thereby insuring a uniform
product. The head blocks in which the rolls are jour-
naled may be tongued and grooved or otherwise fitted
directly in the sides of the vat, and are provided with
flat inner faces against which the ends of the rolls snugly
fit. The midfeather or partition which encases the
intermediate gearing is likewise provided with flat
faces flush with the abutting ends of the rolls, so that
the fibrous material must of necessity pass through and

be acted upon by the rolls. The machine is equipped
with suitable inlet and discharge passages, and also
with a sieve or strainer, with its complemental outlet
to adapt it to pulp washing purposes.

The CANADA LUMBERMAN regrets to learn of the ill-
ness of Mr. W. R. Thompson, lumber merchant, of
Teeswater. Mr. Thompson was recently in Toronto
for medical treatment.

The report of the Minister of Lands, Mines
and Fisheries for the province of Quebec for
the year ending June 30th, 1902, shows that
the receipts from forests were $1,055,037.48,
which included $201,002.91, the proceeds of a
timber limit sale. The following statement
shows the area ot timber land under license
and the quantity of timber cut during the year

fees $11,871.74.

Concerning the relations existing between
the settlers and lumbermen the report says :

In this country the settlement and opening
up of our vacant lands and the consequent in-
crease of our population constitute our chief
aim. All our energies are directed to that end,
for from it is derived the political influence we
now have and which we are to possess in the
future. On the other hand, we have immense
wealth to develop by the exploitation of our

vast forests. They constitute our greatest
source of revenue, and from those forests, with
the aid of our innumerable water powers, we
shall obtain what our province needs to become
a great manufacturing country, and thereby re-
tain that section of our population that is al-
ways ready to emigrate.

True settlers and timber license-holders,
when they remain within their respective
spheres, do not hinder but, on the contrary,
assist one another. In regions remote from
the large centres colononization progresses in
proportion to the extent and prosperity of lum-

bering operations, for the latter create markets
for the former.

But the unheard of, almost abnormal pros-
perity we are now enjoying, gives rise to an-
other state of affairs. It invites a great many
persons to employ every means in their power
to take advantage of the benefits it promises.
Thus merchants, both great and small, manu-
facturers of all kinds associate with the settlers
and with the heads of families of twelve child-
ren, and make use of them to attain the desired
end.

The very great value that wood suitable for the
manufacture of pulp gives to lots, even to those
with the smallest quantity of titnber, causes
the demand therefor to become more and more
pressing. So much is this the case that it
would be very easy for me to dispose, in this
manner, in a very short time and at apparently
remunerative prices, of the whole of that portion
of the province now divided into farm lots.

To this end it would be necessary to set aside
a great many limits, duly acquired at high
prices, and retained for many years by the pay-
ment of the regular ground rent and stumpage

rates.

dues, with the view of favouring other lumber-
men disguised under a false name. Such a
measure, apart from its charcter of injustice,
would ruin our credit, and would finally result
in our seeing vast areas of our public lands
taken possession of and every opening closed —
to colonization.

In this connection I cannot do better than
cite the example of our neighbors in the State
of Maine. As everybody knows, only a limited
portion of the territory of that State is under
cultivation, the greater part being still in forest.
These forest lands were sold long ago and
passed into the hands ot large landowners, who
now refuse to sell any farming lands be-
cause the lumber production, properly managed,
yeilds them ample revenues year by year. .

The J.S. Henderson Company, Limited, manufac-
turers of oil-tanned larrigans, Parrsboro,N.S.,expect to
have their new factory completed at an early date,
It is equipped with modern machinery and the latest
labor-saving appliances.

James W. Woods, manufacturer of lumbermen’s sup
plies, Ottawa, has again found his accommodation
inadequate, and is now building a seven-storey ware-
house on the south side of Slater street. The building
will be first-class in every respect. ‘ ;

GENTLEMEN, In
reference to your in-
qui regarding the
workings of the Ray
Patent Steam Feed
purchased from you
about eighteen months
ago, we have this to
‘say regarding the feed,
that it certainly is not
only the best feed that
we have ever used, but
undoubtedly has no
equal to-day on the
Pacific Coast.

We have drop: as
high as twelve et a”
boards in one minute.
In doing this, the car-
riage would have to
travel about 650 feet
and stop and start
twenty-four times in
one minute. The
rea of the carriage,
head blocks. and log
would be about ten
tons, This would give
you a pretty good idea
of the Power exerted
by the feed in hand-
ling a load of that size
at such a velocity.

We have run this
since we have had it,

continually, and the
same ropes are still in

on when the feed was
mounted. Everything
. about the feed seems
to be in as good condi-
tion to-day as the day
we got it. We would
not take it out and put
back our old feed for
ten times the cost of
the new one. You will
see that we are more
_ than pleased with it.

When a new and improved machine that has great
merit it like this one, is put onto the market,
often times other machinery manufacturers will recog-

in

vize the fact that it will be a good seller and they will
try and start in to copy, of course providing they can do
it. We expect it may be the case with this machine,
but we know that all the mill men purchasing machines
will want the Original, for many mill men in the past
have met with great disappointment in buying copied
machines. Write for full information.

GENTLEMEN, In
reference to your in-
quiry regarding the
workings of the Ray
Patent Steam Feed
purchased from you
about eighteen months
ago, we have this to
say regarding the feed,
that it certainly is not
only the best feed that i
we have ever used, but
undoubtedly has no .
equal to-day on the .
Pacific Coast.

We have dropped as |
high as twelve 24-ft. 1”
boards in one minute.
In doing this, the car-
Tiage would have to
travel about 650 feet
and stop and start
twenty-four times in
one ‘minute. The
bi ofthecarriage, -
head blocks. and log
would be about ten
tons. This would give
' you a pretty good idea
of the Power exerted
by the feed in hand-
ling a load of that size
at such a velocity.

We have run this
feed night and day
since we have had it,
continually, and_ the
same ropes are still in
service that were put
on bi ae ee <a
mounted. ery
about the feed peared
to be in as good condi-
tion to-day as the day
we got it. We would
not take it out and put —
back our old feed for
ten times the cost of
the new one. You will '
see that we are more
than pleased with it.

Yours truly,

THE CANADIAN LUMBER CAMP

By P. H. BRYCE, M.A., M.D.

have echoed down the years of a cen-
tury, and the public have, through
Parker’s ‘‘Romany of the Snows,” and Gor-
don’s ‘‘Man from Glengarry,” been given pic-

, | ‘HE stories of voyageur and lumberman

tures which cause the aroma of a primitive,
_ almost savage civilization to cling to the occu-

pation which for more than one hundred years
has been the back-bone of Canadian industry
and a means of wealth to her largest capitalists.
Whatever of truth there has been in these ro-
mances of the lumber woods, there is to-day
another history growing by gradual accretion,
which, when written, will
show that the Canadian
lumberwoods is but the rear
farm of thousands of lusty
frontier Canadians, who
having completed the sum-
mer’s work in their homes,
take their surplus energies
to one of the best paying
labour markets in Canada
to-day.

These well-to-do young
farmers are not likely to be
very different in the camp
from what they are at
home ; neither are they,
without protest, likely to
endure living conditions
which in the ruder days,
with smaller and less per-
manent camps, and fewer
transportation facilities, na-
turally resulted.

A very brief summary of modern conditions,
by one who has viewed the camps from neither
the employer or employee’s standpoint, may
perhaps be of interest to the readers of THE
LUMBERMAN.

With the enormous extent of lumbering
operations in Ontario, extending some 1,200
miles from east to west and hundreds of miles
north and south, with the greatly increased in-
vestment of capital and the yearly enlarging
market for the products of the forest, it is ap-
parent, with railways and steamships constantly
increasing transportation facilities, that it has
become possible to introduce into lumbering
every element of a systematized business which
is continuously in operation throughout the year.

_ Within recent years the season’s cutting oper-
ations have begun much earlier than formerly,
and in September and even in August the axe-
men move toward the woods, erect new camps,

_ take in necessary temporary supplies and begin

the season’s cut. Overseers or forernen have

2.

i

already gone over the area of the winter’s

prospective cut and fixed the number and lo-

cation of camps with a view to easy access to
one another and to the base of operations on
some railway or navigable lake or stream, so
that the construction of camps and the connect-
ing roads is rapidly completed.

It is at this point where one of the chief
differences between past and present may be
In former days the limits operated were
thosenearest the largest streams, and operations
were distributed along these ; but to-day, the
interior townships have to be worked and a

seen.

HicGins’ LUMBER CAMP IN THE SUDBURY DISTRICT oF ONTARIO.

comprehensive plan of campaign, with its cen-
tral base a permanent camp, and its outlying
posts or temporary camps, is necessary to
economy of operations. This naturally means
better buildings, and as may be seen in the ac-
companying cut a central lumber camp means
a small village in the forest. It consists usual-
ly of (1). The, main dwelling or dwellings of
the men. (2). Cookhouse and eating room in
separate compartments. (3). Wash-house and a
tub-room. (4). Stables. (5). Store-room and
offices.

Such are the common equipments of the
head-quarters camp,to which the sanitary regu-
lations of 1901 have added a separate building
or tent equipped for the reception of any person
suffering from an accident, or if a contagious
disease they are housed in a separate tent.

In past years complaint was frequently
made that a disregard was frequently shown by
foremen while locating a camp in the matter of
securing a water supply free from danger of

pollution by the drainage from the stables and
camp, and instances were not lacking of out-
breaks of typhoid resulting from such neglect.
More frequent than this, perhaps, was the com-
plaint that the disposition of the household
wastes from the kitchen as well as the location
of stables and latrines were wholly at variance
with the first principles of sanitation; but when
it is remembered how in the permanent homes
in many of our villages a similar neglect
exists, we do not wonder that these temporary
homes in the woods were not infrequently found
lacking in this regard.

It was with a view to remedying some of
these evils incident to usually some of the smal-
ler camps and enforcing the definite care of the
men through hospital and medical attention,
that in r901 the Ontario Legislature passed an
Act providing for definite
regulations being made,
whereby the camps were
required to be constructed
on well drained locations,
to have a minimum air space
per man of 300 cubic feet,
- that a regular ventilation be
supplied by fresh air being
brought to a space beneath
the stove, while an equal
area of exits for foul air was
supplied by ducts carried
from near the floor to the
heated spaces around the
stove pipes ; that the cook-
house be in a_ separate
building, and that buckets
tor the kitchen refuse be
regularly used for a daily
removal to such a distance
as would prevent a nuis-
ance, and that latrines or
earta-closets be located and cared for in such
a manner as to be approved of by the medical
officer of the company or by a provincial health
officer.

The manner in which the large number. of
operators have endeavored to carry out the
regulations has been most gratifying, and in
the monthly reports received from their medical
officers, the almost complete absence during
the past winter of contagious disease, as small-
pox or diptheria, in the 30,000 men of the
camps, and in the absence of complaints whether
from employers or employees, it may be said
with truth that nowhere within the Province
has any similiar population for the same period
probably maintained so high a state of general
health.

Such, then, are the conditions under which the
many thousands of our shantymen now spend
their winter evenings; for during the days
their labors in the pineries are so absolutely
free from the polluting touch of human habita-

tion that, except for the occasional accident,
such life in the evergreens is the surest health
tonic, and the certain guarantee of an appetite
and zest for the slumbers of the night and the
camp-fire stories. Formerly the occupations
of the men in the shanties during the evenings
were not elevating; but to-day in well ordered
camps the library and the night-school, through
the sacrifice of missionary workers and the li-
berality of the employers assisted by the gov-
ernment, are supplying not only occupation and
entertainment but are being made an increasing
source of instruction for many. Nor are legiti-
mate amusements wanting. A visit made by
an officer recently to the camps found the graph-
ophone agent plying his trade. A price was
set on an instrument and a camp raffle organ-
ized. The phone became the property of the
fortunate one; but so charmed were the others
that not one but many were purchased to be
taken home to delight less enfaus ** bien
aimés.”’

Equally great are the changes in the drink-
ing habits of the shantymen with those in the
older settlements. More than one of the
counties whence go the largest number of
shantymen voted in the recent plebiscite for
prohibition, while the curé and
the clergyman are welcome visi-
tors in the many widely distri-
buted camps.

It would not be pardonable in
a health officer, in such a general
article, to omit a reference to a
phase of this life in the northern
forests too often overlooked.
This is its value as a health asset
to our population of young men.
The life possesses in the highest
degree the three elements of a
life, vigorous
exercise in the most glorious
atmosphere possible, crisp and
balsam scented, an adequate diet
of the best nitrogenous and heat-making
foods necessary for such labours, and a long
night of refreshing slumber. Many have
been the dyspeptic young men who have come
from the woods at the end of the season strong
and well, who elsewhere would by spring have
been marked with the hectic of the consump-

strenuous VIZ.,

tive.

What the training yearly of so large a num-

SAW MILLS AND LUMBER IN CUBA.

Mr. Max J. Baehr, United States Consul at
Cienfuegos, Cuba, writes as follows :

Many complaints have been made here
relative to the lack of milling facilities for
dressed lumber. A lumber dealer of this city,
Mr. Hunter, states that there are only two saw
mills here, neither of much utility, and they
charge exorbitant prices for dressing lumber—
$9 per 1,000 feet. He has leased for four years,
with the privilege of buying at the expiration of
that time, the best milling site in Cienfuegos, and
he offers this site free of rent to any enterpris-
ing American who will establish a modern saw
mill here. He will promise the American all
of his own sawing, and no doubt he would
receive the work of the many large plantations
in this province and that of the new Cuban
Central Railroad. Mr. Hunter says that there
is a great local demand for doors, ©
window frames and mouldings at
very profitable prices, these
articles being now imported from
the United States under heavy
rates of duty. ;

The fact that an American firm
has established a good saw mill
in Habana and is now buying
logs in this port and shipping
them to the mill, paying freight
rates equal to a shipment to the
United States, makes it apparent
that the establishment of a mill
in this city under the conditions
mentioned would be very profit-
able. My own investigations
along this line substantiate Mr. Hunter’s con-
clusions.

In connection herewith I would mention that
the two principal export woods of Cuba—
mahogany and cedar—are steadily enhancing
in value, and the holders of the choicest timber
lands on the north coast, as well as those hold-
ing lands adjacent to the new Central Railroad,
are advancing their prices. Nevertheless,
there are good mahogany lands on the south
coast of Cuba that may yet be bought at a low
figure. :

GOOD LUMBER MARKET IN EGYPT.

Dr. Cartwright, son of Sir Richard Cart-
wright, Canadian Minister of Trade and Com-
merce, is on his way from Egypt, where he
was Officiating as surgeon to an English regi-
ment. He says Egypt has a greatfuture and
offers goods prospects for business men. ;

Dr. Cartwright further said that there wasa
splendid opening there tor Canadian pine.
Egypt was timberless, and there was a lum-
ber monopoly. Most of the timber used now
came from Norway. He had written to Sir
Richard Cartwright urging the Canadian Gov-
ernment to make known the Egyptian market
to Canadian shippers.

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN

N the twentieth century lumber camp the
commissariat is as important a feature as
it is in the modern The shrewd

operator figures out the problem of food supply

a long ways ahead, seven or eight months in

fact. Though the work on the limits does not

commence till August, the movement of sup-
plies is’yenerally attended to in the preceding
months,of} December, January and February.

roads, tranportation is facilitated and cost of
same reduced.

The supplies for the camps are purchased
nowadays much in the
same manner as_ they
were ten or twenty years
back. The buying is
generally attended to by
| the head of the lumber-
ing firm. While tend-

ers are not called for,

_ the advantage of such

a procedure is secured
through the enterprise
of the wholesale firms
themselves, who are all
eager to supply the ex-
pansive invoice of
goods. Prices are
quoted on the different
lines of stuff, and the
lumberman, buying in
quantities, secures the
reduced or wholesale
rate granted the retail
merchant.

There is one differ-
ence that the years have
brought about, formerly
the goods were deliver- eo
ed at the railway station
most convenient to the
limit, now the purchaser
has to pay freight from the city of first ship-
ment. Few of the lumber firms employ a pur-
chasing agent, as do railways and other large
corporations.

The stock that can now be found ina well
appointed‘‘keep-over,’’as a food depot is called
in lumbering parlance, would {do justice to
the best general store. It was not always thus.
Fifteen years ago the sturdy shanty-man who
partook of his humble dish of pork and beans,

’ offered a striking contrast to the axeman of the
present day who finds on the limits a table that
equals, in quality and variety of food offered,
the country hotels and many of the city houses
for that matter.

It is generally supposed that the pioneer

. shantymen waxed strong on pork and beans.

This is not historically correct. The pork pre-

ceded the beans, the latter being introduced at

a later date on the Canadian limits by the

American firms. In the early days the bill of

of its being more cheerful for the men and because they think it more cleanly and healthful. The cooking

fare in the shanty was a ‘“‘lean” one, the princi-
items being pork and hard tack.

An aristocracy was established in the camp-
community years ago by this same question of
food. The man who could afford the luxury
of a cup of green tea was considered a notch
higher than his fellow less fortunate. The men
had to provide their own tea pots, knives and
forks. Sometimes they had to secure their
own tea, and where it was furnished by the
firms, the menin many camps had to pay for it
out of their wages, so that tea was considered
a great luxury. The years passed by and beans,

peas, rice, dried apples, fish, and molasses, or
“‘blackstrap”’, found their way into the camps,
and bread replaced the hard tack.

It may be asked, why were beans, peas and
dried apples selected for camp fare? There are
several reasons. In the first place, they were
generally moderate in price, readily handled in
transit, and easily prepared for the table on
the open fire of the ‘‘camboose”’.

In the early days the meal was prepared and
partaken of under the roof that sheltered the
bunks of the shantymen.' Thus the one room
served all purposes--eating, cooking, and sleep-
ing apartment. The cook had to bake his
bread in the open fire place and the hot sand
and ashes furnished him with his primitive
oven. Everything baked and boiled had to be
so treated in covered pots. The sponge for the
bread was placed in one of these receptacles
and buried in the hot sand and ashes, the pork,
beans or peas were placed in other pots sus-

This old style has been abandoned

pended from a crane, and the dinner was‘‘on.”’

When the men were assembled for the meal,
each took his seat on his bunk, plate in hand.
From the pots the men all helped themselves,
the result being a waste of food, as liberal
‘‘leavings”’ were thrown back into the open fire.
This meant a big expense item. It was an un-
common thing in the days of the early eighties

to find vegetables in the camps.

How are things now? Vastly different and

greatly improved. An invoice of supplies for
the limits will contain mention of pork, beef,

corned and fresh, salt and fresh fish, flour,

beans, peas, rice, butter and Jard, jam,
evaporated apples and other dried fruits, such
as apricots, peaches, dates, prunes, figs,

raisins and currants, tea, sugar, yellow and
granulated, syrup and molasses, rolled oats,
and sometimes even toilet soap, meals and
tobacco. Where the firms cannot

The following is the evolution of the present —

well laden camp table from the day of salt pork
and hard tack twenty years ago. Pork and
hard tack followed by beans and peas, followed
by ‘“‘black strap” or molasses, dried apples and
bread, followed by tea and corn beef, followed
by sugars, meals, dried fruits, fresh beef, bis-
cuits, vegetables, butter, jam, etc.

In the culinary department there has also
been a marked change, second only to that
mentioned in the make-up of the bill of fare.
No longer are the meals prepared and partaken
of under the roof that covers the sleeping quar-
ters.

With the introduction of the box stove
by the American operators in Canada twelve or
fifteen years ago, came the erection of separate
buildings to house them. Meals are now pre-
pared on the regulation stoves and served on
the regulation tables. In the distribution the
cook has the help of several assistants. There
is a direct and inseparable connection between
the introduction of the box stove and the exten-
sion of the bill of fare. The former made the
latter possible. Roasts, stews, pastry, etc.,
which were difficult problems on the open fire
place, are easily handled with the stove.

While the cook now has better facilities and
better variety of material than formerly, more
is expected of him, and he has to prepare every-
thing down to doughnuts and pies. At some
camps near the railways beef is received on

the hoof and a daily supply of fresh meat is
thus made possible.

If the cook is careless he can waste his
month’s salary many times over in thirty days.
There is now on the part of the shantymen a
natural desire to try a little of everything put
onthe table. His desire over-reaches his ap-
petite, and right here there will be a consider-
able waste unless the cook who is entrusted
with the distribution of the food exercises fore-
sight. The men with a bill of fare ranging
from rice to roasts are harder to please than
in the days of fat pork and hard tack, when the
height of luxury was reached with bean soup.
Now-a-days there is but a small percentage of
waste compared with former years, owing to
the improved and economical preparation and
distribution of the food.

It is a difficult matter to say whether or not
the cost of running the camp table has been
greater in recent years than it was in former
seasons. This season’s prices were certainly
higher. Much depends on that staple article
of camp diet, pork—which still finds a promi-
nent place on the camp table, although in some
camps, where fresh beef has been substituted,
it is not so largely used as before the days of
beef and a score of other articles of food, such
as dried fruits. Pork was exceedingly high
this season, forcing the cost per man per day
up to 4o cents, according to the buyer for one
leading local firm.
years ago according to the same informant was
25 cents. Of course, if it should happen that
pork would drop in price, a comparison would
show that the modern table would cost less
than the old time one. The introduction of
dried fruits, etc., reasonable in price, and the
falling off in the consumption of pork, would
also have a tendency, if the ‘‘long clear” were
low in price, to reduce the cost of the camp
table. Much depends, however, on the ‘‘razor
back” and the cost of other staples and the
transportation.

While there is a greater variety of food than
formerly, it must be remembered that the prices
of sugar, rice, dried fruits, etc., which have
been added in the interval, are comparatively
low compared with that of pork, the staple
food of the early days.
tion the consumption of pork has fallen off, and
right here a big saving has been effected.
When it is remembered that mess pork has
sold as high as $22 dollars per barrel, it can
be seen that the substitution of dried fruits,
syrup, corn beef, etc., at greatly reduced prices,
is an economical move. Dried fruits can be
secured at rates ranging from 4 to 7 cents per
pound. Only the best grades are procured, as
they are found to be the cheapest by the time
they reach the camp table.

The comparative cost ten

Since their introduc-

The extension of the railway system has re-
duced the cost of transportation, and hence
made a big cut in the general bill of supplies
which formerly had to be carried in by man and
sleigh.

There can be no question, then, but what in
the matter of food supply, conditions have been
greatly improved in the last twenty-five years.

The development of the railway systems has
also done much to facilitate the movement of
supplies, men and horses to the limits. Thirty

years ago all three had to be forwarded from
Ottawa, for instance, by toll road to Aylmer,
Quebec, and thence sent forward by ice or
water, as the case might be, up the long
stretches of the Upper Ottawa to the limits.
Naturally this was a tedious trip, covering
sometimes two and even three weeks. Now
the same distance can be covered by the aid of
the railway in a couple of days. Later on,
with the extension of the railways, the Canadi-
an Pacific Railway was used as far as Pem
broke, and later still Mattawa was chosen as
the point from which to strike off the railway.
With the building of the Temiscamingue branch
of the Canadian Pacific, Mattawa in turn lost
its prestige.

In the bygone days as now it was the aim to
get the supplies in to the limits during the win-

ter season so as to take advantage of the snow

and river roads. Naturally it required more
men in the absence of the railroads to perform
this transportation work, and gangs used to be
employed the year round. Men who hired for
the woods would frequently be required to give
a hand in the movement of supplies.

Even at the present day the supplies for the
Gatineau limits have to be moved forward by
sleigh from Gracefield, the Gatineau branch of
the Canadian Pacific Railway.
for the honesty of the shantymen that not a

single article has ever been stolen despite the

fact that the loaded sleighs are left open over
night.

CARE OF RIVER SHOES.

Of interest to the lumber camps will be the method
of calking and care of river shoes or boots. To calk
them, first thoroughly wet the outer sole, then put a last
in the sole that fits solid. Do not make too large a hole
to receive the calk. Only drive them between two rows
of pegs and in the center. Too many calks weaken
the sole.

Shoes when wet should not be allowed to dry too
close to a hot fire, as extreme heat will in a short time
destroy the fibre of the best leather and render it worth-
less. Boots constantly worn in and around swamps or
streams should be kept greased. A good preparation
is one part of beeswax and four parts tallow melted to-
gether and then mixed with three parts of castor oil.
The beeswax and tallow will keep out the water and
the oil will make the leather soft and pliable. Do not
apply too hot. Hot grease will often burn the shoe.
Blood heat is the proper thing. Place one hand inside
the boot and with the other rub the grease into the
pores of the leather. Camp foremen should make a note
of the above.

INSERTED OR CHISEL TOOTH SAWS.

Of interest to sawyers and all saw users will be the
advertisement of the Jas. Ohlen & Soms Saw Mfg.
Company, Columbus, Ohio, to be found in this issue.
For over fifty years this company has made saws.
Their grinding machines are immense affairs, weighing
many tons, and it is impossible for a saw not to come
out true. This company make and sell solid as well as
inserted tooth saws, with four styles of chisel bit saws.
Their ‘‘Columbia,” 5 to 9 gauge, is adapted for use i
British Columbia and on the Pacific coast. They also
manufacture shingle, top, resawing, siding, concave
and edger saws, as well as drag, grooving and mitre
saws. The Ohlen Company’s saw gummers, cutter
grinders, groovers, ratchet drills, saw and yoke man-
drels are favourably known all over the continent.

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN

THE CANADIAN SHANTYMAN

ett Opa —

not passed by the shantyman—homme
~ de chantier or bucheron, as he is better
known where the French tongue predominates.

- Take him thirty years ago and he was a differ-
ent man from his brother of to-day. In the
early seventies, when industrial development
was in its infancy in Canada, the shantyman
was a power in the land. He was a husky

“chap, with muscles of iron and nerves of steel,
as fond of work, and as steady and obedient
during the working hours, as a well regulated
machine. Year in and year out the same men
worked for the same firms and the relations
between employer and employee were as a rule
cordial.

August found the man behind the axe on his
way to the limits. Railway facilities were then
practically unknown and a long journey by
wagon and boat was followed by a tramp 75
miles in length, sometimes 125 miles or more.
The following April saw the same man return-
ing to civilization on the drive. Steady going
chaps rounded the year out in the lumber busi-

pe by accepting work for the summer months

_ in the mills.

; One year the wages dropped as low as $10
a month and board for shanty work, but the
average ran from $16 to $18 and board. No
one dreamed of securing the $28 and $30, with
board attached, paid in recent years to inexper-

ienced youths as well as able-bodied men.

There is no denying the fact that the shanty-
man as he was known thirty years ago is a

_rarity to-day. Where has he gone? Who has
succeeded him? Speaking in general terms,
the wave of prosperity has engulfed him and
carried him into other channels of labor.

Speaking specifically, it may be stated that
the colonization of the North-west and the new-

' | ‘HE cycle of time, with its changes, has

_ er districts of Ontario and Quebec, the wonder-

ful development of the pulp and paper making
industry in Canada, the strides made in rail-
road building, particularly in the west, and the

_ attractions held forth by the industrial centers

£ the New England States, have all combined
to lure the experienced men away from the
limits.

Who have taken the places of the sturdy,
old-time shantymen? Raw youths, farm help
and mediocre mechanics from the towns and
cities, attracted by the high wages offered,
have stepped forward into the vacancies, which
they fill only too often on the pay sheet alone.

Thirty years ago the employirent agencies
had little or no difficulty securing all the skilled
help they wanted from the saw mill towns and
central Quebec. In the last few years they

_ have been forced to recruit from Eastern Que-
_ bec as well.

In pas:ing it must also be remembered that
the scarcity ot good men is due in a measure
The development

ee ee

ated an unprecedented demand,hence the pres-
ence in many camps of an inferior class of men.

A comparison of the shantyman of the seven-
ties and his co-worker of the present day as
men, gives everything in favor of the former.
He was paid less money, had to undergo more
hardships, was worked harder, and received
poorer fare ; buf through it all he proved him-
self a man, loyal to his foreman and eager to
break the record for the log-cut in his camp.
He ate his pork and beans with better sense ot
appreciation and greater relish than is shown
by the modern chap who over a bill of fare that
excels the table of the average country hotel,
clamors for the dismissal of the cook.

Operators agree that the labor problem is
the great stumbling block in the present other-
wise smooth current of the lumber business.
In the seventies the man who earned his meal
by his muscle had hardly any alternative in
Ottawa and other lumbering districts but to hie
himself to the limits for the fall and winter
work. He could secure emoloyment there
when other avenues were closed by King Win-
ter’s iron hand. If there was a slump in the
lumber market and wages dropped, it made no
difference, $10 a month and board found him
as ready as $18 a monthand board. He asked
no questions, his aim being to secure if possible
service year after year with the same firm and
foreman. The question of discomforts did not
come to his mind, and a tramp of 75 miles
made necessary by the absence of railroads
brought no protest. Nowadays the shanty-
man who has to walk a third of this distance
inland from the railway insists on working at
an advance of several dollars over current
wages,

The chopper in Ye Olden Days had an incen-
tive to good work that was absent until recent_
ly. There was a brisk demand for hewers and
scorers, and a log maker who showed a know-
ledge of his business was rewarded by the
foreman with a ‘‘hand” at the square timber
making. Ina season he would become profi-
cient at the latter and place himself in posses-
sion of a much fatter pay envelope. In the
last decade, however, the British demand for
square timber fell off to an extent that threaten-
ed extinction. Hence the log maker had no
chance to acquire the knack of hewing and
scoring, with its bigger pay; and about an
equal opportunity to exercise his gift even if it
were acquired. Thus the experienced square
timber workers—a fair percentage of the shanty
population—were also deprived ot employment
by the slump in the market, and while some of
the younger scorers and hewers fell back on
the log cutting, the older hands gave up the
work on the limits altogether. Hence a class
of very desirable men were lost to the work.
This loss was felt during the past two seasons,
when the boom in the square timber trade
made a heavy demand on experienced labor.
The supply could not fill the demand and the
monthly wage rose accordingly to $55 with
board.

In the seventies as nowadays, Ottawa was
the great employment bureau for Ontario and
Quebec, if not for the Dominion. Men flocked
to the Capital from all parts of Quebec, much
as political favor seekers do to-day. It wasa
rare thing then for an agent to have to go off
his own street to secure any number of men.
But with the development of the pulp and
paper making industry, the colonization craze
and the general industrial prosperity, the influx
of men for the limits has grown less year by
year. It’s a case now where the agents have
to get out and hustle and not the men. Last
season several Ottawa firms had men scour-
ing the country as far east as Gaspe. Many
of the camps in the Georgian Bay district were
manned direct from that far-off district.

While wages have been high in the camps
for several years past, the financial consider-
ation has not been sufficient to tempt good
steady and experienced men in the way that
lower wages did in former years. Why is this ?
Simply because the demand for the high class
of laborers for other lines of labor has been
much better in recent years, and the men even
at the sacrifice of a few dollars prefer remain-
ing in the bosom of their families, providing
they can get steady work, to undergoing vol-
untary exile in the shanties.

Men must be secured for the limits, however,
and hence it follows that the employment agen-
cies have been forced to accept all comers and
go out and look for more. The idle class of
the towns, cities, and countryside, blinded by
the glitter of the gold to the dross of the
‘“‘shantying,” have stepped in eagerly to fill up
the gaps, only to drop out, many of them, at
the first opportunity. These are the deserters
who kick for fresh meat every day, and demand
the dismissal of the cook if the fruit pies are
not “‘sugared.”” In the seventies and early
eighties fresh meat and pies were as rare as
the parson’s visit. It’s commonly remarked
that the shantyman of the present day has been
spoiled by kindness, and events bear out the
remark. In the earlier years, the outspoken
foremen, brusque to the point of roughness,
was considered just the man for the job, now
he wouldn’t be tolerated ; and his dismissal
would be clamoured for by the awkward squad
forced upon him by the employment agencies.

In the days of pork and beans, when each
man ate from the side of his bunk, the cook
was a fixture year in and year out, practically
unnoticed. Nowadays,when the hotel menu is
served in a separate shanty the. cook is the
subject of everyone’s criticism. As many as
four and five changes have had to be made in
one season to satisfy the clamouring of the
men who threatened to leave unless the cook
was changed. The crank, the crook, and the
cheat, are well represented in the shanties of
the present day. In the days of the good old
shantyman a ‘‘jumper” was unknown. Last
winter the men were leaving daily, despite the
fact that they were far better treated in every
way than their predecessors. Young fellows
with one and two years’ experience are now
demanding the wages paid men of ten years’
experience.

The average shantyman does not cut as
many logs a day now as did the cheerful, con-

tented chap of former days. There are several
reasons for this falling off. In the first place,
the man of to-day cannot handle an axe as
well as did the man of a by-gone year. In the
second place, the latter was cutting the virgin
forest where the marked trees were well group-
ed, while nowadays the axemen have to cover
a wider territory to get the same number of
logs, so effective has been the thinning out
process of the intervening years.

In the seventies the men hired for a whole
season, -which included fall and winter chopping
and the spring ‘‘drives”. Nowadays out of
ten men seven come down ahead of the drives,
despite the fact that they can earn $35 to $45
working on the latter. As a consequence the
agents have to scour the country to engage
other help. This year large numbers of Indi-
ans are being hired for the river work. To
perform it they pass on the way men who are
fleeing from it. Some of the latter go up
again when they go ‘‘broke” in the city.

The passing of the genuine shantyman is

ties. Before the railways were built it took
the firms two and sometimes three weeks to

stayed and worked there.

not a catch phrase, it’s a reality.

While the presence
of the railway now facilitates the inward move-
ment, it also offers an additional temptation
to the restless man to ‘‘jump” his job.

In one thing the shantyman of the seventies
resembles his brother of to-day, he’s a French
Canadian, seven out of ten of ‘‘him.” No other
race seems to have made the same successful
study of the business.

WIRE HOOPS FOR BARRELS.
The Washburn - Crosby

upon the spiral-steel wire hoop for flour barrels.
The type of barrel experimented with has borne
four patent hoops and four wire ones, one of
each being placed on the heads and one of
each on each side of the bilge. The hoop being
spiral in form can be readily driven and also is
sufficiently elastic to conform to any changes in
the barrel from the effect of moisture. In the
past week the company have used about 4,000
of these barrels in sending flour eastward, and
more of the hoops have been ordered. The
present high prices for patent hoops are not
relished by the company, and they aim to adopt
substitutes to the end that they may in future
avoid paying unduly high prices, whatever the
supply of wooden hoops may be. The wire

To be satisfied with the past or present

things should solidify as they are and re-
main forever fixed, is to cultivate intellectual
torpor and spiritual inertia. Such a condition
is at variance with the whole trend and impulse
of this modern age. To keep abreast of the
times, to move in the front rank and feel the

at any rate he is to be praised for his energy.

for our civilization to be a car of Jugernaut

The work is also being extended to railway
construction and mining camps, and our popu-
lar Canadian author ‘‘Ralph Connor” is under-
taking the building and maintenance of a read-

INDUCTION MOTORS IN WOOD-WORKING
ESTABLISHMENTS.

In view of the interest which attaches to the
use of small power in wood-working shops, it
may not be inopportune to call attention to a
striking example of the application of induc-
tion motors to the driving of shop machinery
as afforded by the plant of a concern in Brook-
lyn manufacturing tobacco pipes and walking
sticks. The plant consists of two buildings,
a three-storey brick factory, 200x600 feet, and
a small brick power house at a distance of but

a few feet from the factory. The original in-

tention of the operators of the establishment
was to make use of direct current from the
distribution system of one of the Brooklyn
power companies, but a polyphase alternating
system was finally installed on account of its
many attractive features.

THE TIMBER POLICY OF THE BRITISH
COLUMBIA GOVERNMENT.

The rapidity with which the lumbering in-
dustry of British Columbia is expanding, has
impressed upon the government the necessity

of adopting regulations governing the disposal
of timber lands and cutting of timber that may
be regarded as being permanent, that will be
likely to give satisfaction to the lumberman,
and ensure as far as possible a perpetuation of
British Columbia has
not yet perfected its timber policy to the same
extent as the eastern provinces. That it is pro-
posed to do so is evidenced by regulations that

of the timber supply.

have recently been put intoeffect. The task is
not lightened by the peculiar conditions under
which lumbering is conducted in that province.
While in the east the timber limits are largely
held by the saw mill owners, this is not the
case in British Columbia, where a large portion
of the timber area is taken up by loggers under
special licenses. Thus in framing regulations
the government feels called upon to consider
the interests of both the logger and the mill
owner, although they are sometimes diverse,
as was the case with the prohibition of the exe
port of timber.

Special licenses above referred to are grant-
ed for one year only, and entitle the holder to
not more than 640 acres. They are not trans-
ferable, and are renewable only at the discretion
of the government. It is claimed that these
restrictions are too exacting, and that the in-
dustry has now reached a stage where the pur-
chaser of a timber limit should feel more certain
that if he should build a railway and make
improvements for logging purposes,he will not
be compelled to release his right to the property
at the end of a year.

Conferences between the Loggers’ Associa-

tion and the Lumber Manufacturers’ Associa-
tion have resulted in the framing of a petition
containing certain regulations which the gov-
ernment are asked to adopt. One of these is,
that licenses be issued for a fixed term of not
less than five years. Another is that holders
of licenses shall commence operations within
three months or forfeit their license, and an-
other, that licenses shall be issued only to par-
ties engaged in logging or manufacturing lum-
ber. The two latter clauses are, in our opinion,
very important, as their adoption would remove
the opportunity for speculation in timber limits
which now exists and which has grown very
rapidly of late.

The recent regulation providing that no
special licenses to cut timber be granted until
after the limits have been surveyed, is strongly
opposed by the lumbermen, but as the Honor-
able Commissioner of Crown Lands seems dis-
posed to assume an attitude of justice and
helpfulness towards the lumber industry, it is
probable that any grievances will be remedied,
and that eventually a timber policy will be
framed that will be satisfactory to the lumber
trade and in the best interests of the province.

CANADIAN TRADE AND THE TARIFF.

Canada has too long suffered from fear.
Business men have lacked the confidence neces-
sary to inspire them to launch out and cap-
ture the greater percentage of foreign trade
which was their’s for the seeking. Living as
we do beside a country of less area, but with a
population ten times as great as that of Cana-
da, we have realized our lesser commercial
importance to an extent that has proved a
barrier to our advancement. This timidity, it
is pleasing to observe, is atlast passing away,
and in a very few years Canada promises to be
one of the great manufacturing countries of
the world. It is not possible to read the statis-
tical trade reports issued by the government
without feeling encouraged. For the nine
months ending March 31, the value of our
exports was $162,420,763, and that of our im-
ports $155,440,036, an increase of $17,873)-
890 and $14,707,327 respectively. This show-
ing of trade expansion is suggestive.

The trade policy of Canada at the present
time is one of moderate protection, a policy
which, it may fairly be said, is giving satisfac-
tion to the majority. For this reason the bud-
get speech of Honorable Mr. Fielding, Minister
of Finance, in which he promised no 1adical
tariff changes, was well received by the country.
Mr. Fielding pointed out that there is nothing
in the circumstances of the country calling for
a general revision of the tariff.

Touching upon the preferential tariff, Mr.
Fielding held that a return preference should
be given by Great Britain. The Canadian
Government had offered, if the British Govern-
ment would accept the principle of preference,
to give Britain a certain preference in the Can-
But this, he made quite clear,
would be a preference as between the British

adian market.

and foreign manufacturers, not as between
the British manufacturer and the Canadian
manufacturer. In this he showed the protec-
tive sentiments of the government.

The imposition of a surtax of one-third, in-

tended to apply particularly to German goods,
will doubtless meet with the approval of Can-
adians. Germany has long discriminated
against Canada, andall effort to induce a discon-
tinuance of the policy have been futile. The re-
sult of the surtax will doubtless be to decrease
our imports and exports from and to that coun-
try, but in this we have everything to gain and
little to lose. Canada annually buys from
Germany goods of an approximate value of
ten million dollars, whereas our exports to
that country do not exceed one million dollars
in value. Nevertheless, we are told of further
retaliatory measures to be adopted by Germany.

It is pertinent to enquire who is likely to be
benefitted most by this surtax on goods im-
ported from countries which discriminate un-
duly against Canada. The surtax is not
thought to be applicable to the United States,
which, in respect to geographical position and
physical equipment, is favorably situated to
realize any benefit that may accrue therefrom.
The United States press take the view that the
new tariff gives that country a distinct advan-
tage over Germany of 33% per cent. in the
Canadian markei. This, however, will surely
depend upon the attitude assumed in future
towards Canada, as a policy of inequality will
doubtless result in the application to United
States imports of the same retaliatory measure
which now applies to German goods.

Canada is desirous of cultivating trade with
the United States, on a mutually profitable
basis, but the Minister of Finance makes it
plain that we will not chase after recriprocity.
He is agreeable to a resumption of the Joint
High Commission, but if after a preliminary
friendly conference it should appear that the
American representatives had no reasonable
propositions to make, negotiations would be
concluded at once.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The placing of a contract for timber required
by the Ontario Power Company for flume pur-
poses at Niagara Falls has created some com-
ment. The contract, which embraces several
million feet, has fallen to redwood manufac-
turers of California, who, it may be presumed,
were the lowest tenderers. To assist in secur-
ing the order, the Southern Pacific and Santa
Fe Railways offered a through rate of 50 cents
per 100 pounds of green redwood weighing 3%
pounds to the foot, or an average of $16.66%
a thousand feet. This rate is regarded as a
very important event in the redwood world.

Perhaps never before in the history of the
lumber trade have freight rates to Great Britain
been solow. The rail rate on lumber from the
Georgian Bay to St. John, N.B., is about 12
cents per hundred pounds,and from St.John to
Liverpool 14 cents, makinga through rate of
less than nine dollars per thousand feet. The
rate from Georgian Bay to the Eastern States
is between five and six dollars per thousand, or
only three dollars less than to Great Britain.
Yet the United States is getting the lumber,
which is explained by the indisposition of
buyers across the water to pay the advanced
prices resulting from increased cost of pro-
duction.

LOGGING METHODS IN BRITISH COLUMBIA.
By HENRY H. NEWELL.

The logging industry of British Columbia is as yet in
its infancy, and a very precocious infancy atthat. The
improvement of logging methods has more than kept
pace with the general progress of the country. Enor-
mous areas of timber limits lying within easy reach of
salt water or large rivers have been eagerly sought and
secured, and work upon them has proceeded with none
of the speculativeness, and with fewer of the natural
hindrances that have been experienced in the mining
industry. The development of agriculture, too, has
been beset with many natural drawbacks which have
somewhat checked its advance in this age ot competi-
tion; but logging has triumphed all along the line.
To-day the logging and lumbering industries in British
Columbia dispute with the salmon canning industry the
palm of progress in the most modern methods and most
effective results. It is not many years ago since the
logger went out into the woods equipped with little more
than axes, ropes, and teams. Now he creates a verit-
able industrial vortex as he pushes on strenuously with
his railways and all-important donkey engines, and
moves forward his bustling and cheery camps through
the hitherto trafficless forests.

In British Columbia the forests are dense and in places
almost impenetrable, and the impediments to the trans-
port of provisions, of machinery, and finally of timber,
are characteristically great, in spite of the country's
many invaluable waterways. The finest timber rarely
grows quite down to sea water. The packer and
the pack-horse had their work cut out for them in the
early days. Later the light wooden railway with horse
or human traction considerably assisted the labors of
of the pioneer ; but now, the iron rail is laid length by
length from the sea beach, reaching slowly but surely
into the furthest depths of the forest primeval. The all
prevailing difficulty of transport in British Colnmbia ha’s,
in the matter of logging, been practically overcome for
coast and island timber limits, and for those situated on
rivers of sufficient size to float down the logs to the sea;
but an important question facing timber men to-day is
the utilization of the enormous and magnificent areas of
valuable timber which are spread throughout British *
Columbia's uplands and inland valleys.

Logging methods on the mainland coast and islands
necessarily vary to some extent from those up country—
in the Kootenays for instance—but the great bulk of the
logging in the province is done on the mainland coast
and on Vancouver Island. The Victoria Lumber and
Manufacturing Company’s logging camps on Vancouver
Island may be taken as in every way representative of
the most efficient and modern methods of logging con-
ducted in British Columbia to-day. The company’s
mill at Chemainus—the largest in the province—is cap-
able of turning out, in the ordinary way, 320,000 feet of
lumber per day. The timber used does not all come
from their own camps—some 10,000,000 feet of timber
is annually supplied to them by the neighboring Cowi-
chan Lumber Company—but these camps are amongst
the largest in the country, and the principles which
govern their logging methods are those of the most
up-to-date logging camps in the province. The mode
of forming and conducting their logging camps is
roughly this: having first caught their hare, that is,
acquired their timber limit (and they own some 120,000
acres in the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway belt), the
next thing to do is to survey it and build a railway, to
form a camp and lay out their yarders, or landing
stations, and then to send the fallers in.

Railway construction through the marketable timber
extends about half a mile at a time. The railway to the
Victoria Lumber Company’s operations is now seven
miles to the first camp, and three miles further to the
camp where the fallers are. The rails are heavy, of
standard gauge, solidly laid, and the road is well ballast-
ed. Spur lines from the main track cover the whole work-
ing field. On everything over a 4 per cent. grade geared
locomotives are used. Engines geared 2% to 1 operate
on 14 per cent. grades, but it is not considered advis-
able to work on grades of more than 10 per cent,
except for short pitches.

The camp is built as near as possible to the centre of
the timber, the proximity of water being, of course, a
governing feature. The camp site is chosen on either
side of a small running stream, or else a channel of

water is conducted through it. The banks of this
Stream are planked, forming wooden sidewalks along
which the bunk houses are built. The sleeping quarters
are thus arranged on either side of a planked alley with
a stream running down its centre for washing purposes:
The bunk houses are built of matchwood, and are each
separate with a wide space between. They are 12 feet
x14 feet in size, and each accommodates five men. The
cook house, store, and dining room are combined in
one building 24 x 80 feet. The wages of the men range
from $2.50 to $4 a day, out of which they pay $5 a week
for their board. This costs the company 58 to 62 cents
per man per diem. The food consists of soups, mush,
fresh meat, vegetables, pies, etc., and indeed in this,
and in most of the camps in the province, the board is
equal to that of a good hotel. The company aim to
have 60 men working continuously in camp, summer
and winter. Health statistics of nearly all British Col-
umbia logging camps are exceedingly favorable, and
epidemics practically non-existent.

Having reached marketable timber the yarders are
formed. The yarding station is the centre of opera-
ions. Here is erected the landing with a platform
about 3% ft. 6in. high, the height of the log bunks, tor
facility in loading the logs on to-them. Here is also
placed the double drum donkey engine, securely made
fast. Each yarder embraces an area of approximately
1200 feet. It is found thai an area of 600 feet each
way from the landing is the greatest that can be con-
veniently and economically worked by the donkey
engines. The timber having been fallen is sawn into
20 to 110 feet lengths by the buckers, and, the swamp-
ers having cleared the ground around them, the logs
are handled with the aid of miles of wire cable, and
drawn to the landing where they are loaded on to the
log bunks. The log bunks are so formed that they can
be coupled nearer together or extended to suit the var-
ious lengths of timber. The skidways are usually laid
about 1200 feet apart. Along them logs are drawn by
cable to a double drum loading engine on the main
track, this engine being equipped with 1 mile of 1 inch
cable and two miles of 5g inch cable. On level ground
a horse is used to draw the ungrappled end of the main
cable from the loading engine back to the skid engine
(which gathers the logs on to the skidway), but on hilly
ground the second drum of the donkey with a 5 inch
cable is used for this purpose—an endless cable being
formed. For ‘‘trailing’” over parts of the track which
may be too steep for the cars the roadbed is planked
with 2 inch planking and the rails protected by scant-
ling, and a'25 ton ‘‘Climax” geared engine is used for
traction. Several heavy ‘‘turns of logs” are thus often
drawn at one time to the loading station. A 4o ton
Shay locomotive collects the loaded cars, and makes
up the train generally, drawing it to the main loading
station, where a powerful road locomotive takes charge
and conveys the log train to the company’s wharves at
Chemainus, where the logs are dumped into the water
and ‘‘boomed”’ ready for use in the mill. The cars are
loaded five to seven thousand feet to the car.

A general crew for a yarder varies from 15 to 21 men,
according to the nature of the ground and the season
of the year. It comprises 2 fallers, 1 undercutter, 2
buckers, 2 swampers, 1 to 3 barkers, 1 to 3 snipers,
I signal man, ist and 2nd hook tenders, 1 rigging
slinger, 1 dogger, engineer and fireman.

Aroad engine crew consists of 5 men, viz., engineer
and fireman, 2 loaders, and 1 hook tender.

The question of the nationality of the woodsmen is an
interesting one, but one almost impossible to determine
accurately. Roughiy speaking, about 1o per cent. are
Swedes and Norwegians, a few British, and the re-
mainder in about equal parts Canadian and American.
This holds good throughout the province with the ex-
ception that in places near the boundry the American
element predominates, whilst in others more remote
Canadians are the more numerous. Native-born Brit-
ish Columbians have the best name as expert woods-
men.

The Shawnigan Lake Lumber Company, operating
a smaller mill some 30 miles south, and also on the E.
and N. Ry., has its own logging camp in the neighbor-
ing woods. This company, instead of a railroad to its
logging operations, uses a pole road. The poles are
cut in the wood on the spot and laid, half buried in the
ground, in lengths the ends ot which are cupped into

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN 3

each other. If a sufficiently curved pole cannot be
found in the woods it is curved during the process of
laying down by means of a brace from a convenient
stump, one end of it having been pinned into the pre-
ceding pole. The donkey engine then with a cable
bends it to the required curve, when it is secured by pins
and another opposite brace. Curves of as much as 33
degrees have been negotiated satisfactorily on this
road, but the object is to keep as straight a track as
possible. For bridging, poles are laid crosswise over
One another in grooves until the desired elevation is
reached and the uppermost poles then serve as the
traction lines for the engine. The locomotive is a 17-
ton geared ‘* Climax” with grooved wheels 13 inches
wide, and having three inch flanges.

A road gang is here continually working just ahead
of the fallers. The foreman goes ahead, and “blazes”
the trees where he wants the road to go. Ifhe wants
it to the right of the tree he puts his blaze to the right,

-if to the left he blazes to the left, and if straight

through then he makes his chip in the centre. The
Swampers come in, and after them the road gang lay
the pole road keeping, as straight a track as possible.
The methods of handling the logs are the same here as
already described, though ona smaller scale.

Yet a third and older method of logging is that pur-
sued by the Cowichan Lumber Company, who employ a
contractor to do their logging for them. Their timber is
at present being taken out mostly in proximity to
Cowichan Lake, or near river banks, where the logs
are fallen and collected during the year, and in the
month of November, or thereabouts, are floated down
the Cowichan and Koksilah rivers, which are then in
flood, to salt water at Cowichan Bay, where they are
boomed and towed round to the Chemainus mill.
These limits can be efficiently and more economically
operated by means of skidways and horse teams alone.
Greased skidways are formed in convenient places up-
on which the logs are drawn down to the water. A
tree having been fallen the swampers come and clear
a track for it to the skidway. A team of eight horses
is yoked on, and away goes the log. This method re-
quires great judgement on the part of the logger, for
the logs will only travel on their heaviest sides, and un-
less so drawn they will roll over and twist and tangle
up the chain.

This method of logging again is yet an improvement
on the more ancient system of drawing logs out of
the forest with long unwieldy teams of oxen. The
way had to be swamped out for them and serious ob-
stacles removed at considerable labour and expense.
It is instructive to compare this old fashioned system
with the operations of the wonderful modern donkey
engine. It stands secure in its central location with
its furlong's of cable stretching like long sinuous arms
on either hand, and the heaviest and most ponderous
log, once grasped, obeys its invincible pull, and
smashes and tears its way through the thickest scrub
at the guidance of the hook tender until at length it
arrives with a dull thud on the landing ready to be
loaded for the mill. Indeed, everything in modern log-
ging depends on the ‘‘donkey.” It needs to be treated
like a new-born babe. If it refuses to work practically
all work stops. The fallers are only required to keep
a log ahead of the engine, and being ahead of their
work they naturally take a rest and have a smoke.
The buckers who have to follow them do the same and
soon. Logging under such circumstances does not
pay. It pays to get the best possible ‘‘donkey” and to
treat it well.,

By the last Government Reports no less than 453,251
acres of timber limits are already held under lease in
the province of British Columbia (without including the
enormous timber rights of the E. & N. Railway on
Vancouver Island). During the year 1902 upwards of
187% million feet of timber were cut from Crown lands,
56% million from leaseholds, 7% million from private
property, and 30 million from the E. & N. Railway
belt. Of the last named amount five-sixths was cut by
the Victoria Lumber & Manufacturing Company.

Clarke Bros., of Bear River, N. S., have recently
built a dry kiln and made other improvements to their
mill. By the installation of planers, matchers, etc.,
they are ina position to supply spruce sheathing and
hardwood flooring,

A VISIT TO THE WISCONSIN LUMBER
CAMPS.
(By Our TRAVELLING REPRESENTATIVE.)

As the leading producer of white pine of all the
States, Wisconsin has some very large logging cainps.
Most of them are situated in the north-central part of
the state and reached only by logging roads.

The Diamond Match Company's and the Williamson-
Libbey camps are well known. In conversation with
the leading operators they all said the past season had
been exceptionally favorable and a’ successful one.
There was plenty of snow, about eighteen inches and
two feet on the level, and enough cold weather to
make it stay.

Regardless of the fall of snow, Wisconsin loggers
now use ice roads and sprinkler wagons to make
them, depending only on cold weather for the success
of the season, rather than on the fall of the snow. Too
much snow, I found, is the only thing that loggers
fear nowadays, but that condition did not prevail
during my trip through the state. In fact, the
weather was just right—cold enough to keep the
roads hard, but not too cold to work. One evening
just as the men were completing their day’s work rain
fell heavily and the snow went fast. Everybody
thought the season was ended, but during the night it
turned very cold, froze up, snowed and hardened the
roads again.

Small-pox and grippe were very plentiful in the
woods this year, but the former was of so mild a type
that little attention was paid to it by the men. Several
were laid up by small-pox for three or four days, and
then would be at work again inside of a week. There
seemed to be no fear of it and few of the men
‘* stampeded.” In one or two camps, I was told, all
the men had it. The greatest precautions were being
used to prevent the germs being taken out by the men
when they returned home in the spring.

Men to work in the woods were so scarce in Wiscon-
sin this past winter that it has been necessary for the
loggers to pay the very highest wages prevailing in
many years. The camps have also had to’ furnish a
table that would do honor to many of the best hotels I
stopped at. Even then it has been difficult to keep a
full force, and there were few camps where the
personnel of the employees had not materially changed
since the opening of the cutting season.

Desperate measures were resorted to in order to

keep the men from shifting from camp to camp. Chief

of these was in the furnishing of superior tood. One
camp had brought in no less than two tons of mince-
meat. Nearly all the camps that I visited had sent in
immense quantities of canned peaches, apples, beans,
corn, tomatoes, etc., whilst puddings, cakes and pies
were of daily consumption.

If the men were poorly fed some of the ‘‘ lumber-
jacks” would tell a tale of how fine the boys were
feeding at Camp 20 on the Ontanagon river, which
would result in wholesale desertion to the best fed
camp.

At some camps novel forms of amusement had been
introduced in order to influence the men to remain.
Music boxes and phonographs were installed at
several, playing everything from ‘‘Ain’t dat a Shame”
to ‘‘In the Mansion of Aching Hearts.’”’ In one of the
largest camps a piano had been furnished, together
with a paid pianist and a vocalist.

Other companies supplied. their camp with plenty of
reading matter, both in daily papers and novels, of
which the men have free use as soon as their days’
work is completed and on Sundays. Very few men
have quit the employ of the concerns giving them these
inducements to remain.

_ Isaw a lot of card-playing, dice-throwing, checkers,
dominoes, etc., but very little gambling and practically
no drunkenness.

There is something picturesque about these Wis-
consin camps, situated perhaps on the side of a stream,
half a dozen or so shacks with a larger ‘‘shake”
roofed shanty, twenty by fifty, built of pine logs,cracks
stuffed with moss and old leaves.

To the eye of an artist it is the ideal of the pictur-
esque, the ends of the logs alternating across, showing
their white and year-ringed sections against the dark
bark—the low, broad entrance with its door on wooden
hinges and latch. All this framed by the noble, taper-

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN

ing stems and dark evergreen tops of the gallant old
pines which seem to be standing there under sentence of
death, awaiting the execution. To the ear as the
storm whistles through the forest it seems like a vast
orchestra of Eolian harps swept with music as wonder-
ful as the varying wind.

Inside the shack it was comfortable and warm to the
tired chopper. The atmosphere was one of a mixture
of shoe-packs, sox and mitten steam, tobacco smoke
and three or four foreign languages, through which
could be seen long rows of “‘bunks’’ from the muddy
floor to the top log under the rafters. The bunks
would be filled with marsh hay, two coarse blankets
and perhaps a tired form within them.

Let us inspect the cook’s shanty. Rough, smoked
logs, yellow light, rude table and benches, iron handled
knives, tin cups and plates, a smell of cooking meat
with an undertone of fried cakes.

To get to one of these modern camps it is not
necessary to walk or take a team. We get on an
empty logging train and we are landed at the loading
place right in the camp.
strenuous life. All round are piles of logs, the sound
of the keen axe ringing and re-echoing through the
forest.

Then the loading begins—a rattling undoing of the
binding chain, a scoot of skids on sway-bars, throwing
of the loading chain, a number of dexterous cant-hook
“flips,” and the bunks are full. Another and another
tier on top—then the “top loading” or putting a peak
on the pyramid of logs. On the top of the growing
load is a man of agile proportions, clad in a knit toque,
red undershirt, grey pants and spiked ‘‘drive” boots.
‘Chain over!” he calls and they are ready for the bind-
ing logs on that chain. Two more up, and he calls
“Up, the long skids!” Swamp hookin top log, load-
ing chain around log on skids, under and back to
swamp hook, team of horses on the other end. All
ready! ‘‘Gee up!”—up the half pitch majestically rolls
the big stick. The man ontop, called the top loader,
yells ‘‘Whoap!” and the horses dig their shoes in the
ground and the log stops half way up. The top-loader
sees to the log being straight, and is located, alert and
cool, on top of the cone, waiting for that apex log,
with a ‘‘cant-hook” that seems a living part of him.
The ‘‘swamp-hook” is hooked to fly out when the up-
coming log drops in its place. The top-loader never
allows that swamp-hook to touch the ground till the
last log is up. Nowcomes the nip. She breaks over
upon the top! ‘‘Whoap!” The cant hook flips, and the
car isloaded. I look at my watch as the top-loader
looks a query at me. Time, nine minutes and twenty
seconds.

As they shove this carload out of the way for another
empty, I go up the track to a half-filled skidway of two
parallel logs, six or eiyht feet apart, used to roll other
logs on for storage. Here I saw the skidder and his
big grey team. I note the dress of the ‘‘boss teamster”
—a pair of rubber shoes, black German socks reaching
to the knee, dark pants, somewhat pitchy, leather belt,
sheepskin lined jacket, a black moustache and a
Windsor cap. He is rolling the logs off his “toad”
—two iron shod runners six inches broad, three inches
thick and six feet long, with a beam for the log to rest
on across the middle.

Next I see the ‘‘swamper”’ in among the great masses
of the tops of fallen trees. He is called a ‘‘swamper”
because he is usually swamped in brush. The team-
ster calls him the ‘“‘brush monkey.” His work is to get
the brush out of the skidder’s way while he is being
sworn at by the rough teamster.

Now, the two logs and toad lie parallel, chain around
end of toad-beam, under one log, up and back to the
evener on the other side, two horse-steps and the other
end of the log lies on the beam even with the toad nose.
These logs are too large to roll on with the swamper’s
cant hook. Again and again this operation is repeated.
The swamper bites off a large moon of plug tobacco
and extends the same to me. ‘‘No thanks!’ He does
not say it, but his eyes look it—‘‘Tenderfoot !”

I follow the sound of a rapidly running cross-cut saw.
The ground is gently undulating, smooth, and spread
with a carpet of the yellow tresses from the giants
around. There is a pair of sawyers—one carries an
axe and wedge with wood filled socket, the other a
ten foot pole and a handled band of-steel, tough as a

Here all is bustle and a |

*
Damascus sword blade. They look at a tree which to
me seemed upright as the zenith, but the axeman
chooses a leaning for it, and now the chips begin to fly
from the notch, no very deep cut, just enough to guide
the falling tree.

They hold the saw on the opposite side of the tree,
and a jet of yellow dust marks every stroke of the
singing steel. When cut two-thirds off a stiff breeze
levers the top back, and the saw suddenly stops, ‘‘She
pinches! Putin the wedge!’ In it goes behind the
saw under the blows of a four pound axe till the cut
opens. ‘‘Zip, Zip,” they keep right on till the great
pine starts and staggers. ‘‘Timber—look out!” rings
through the forest, the tree moves, cracks, the branch
top hisses through the air, the sawyers have side step-
ped twice backward from the stump, a sound of rumb-
ling thunder and shaking earth. One of the sawyers
steps up and calculatingly pokes a measuring pole
along the trunk, heretofore scaled only by the oqpine
or woodpecker.

The dinner bell rings, a hundred or more keen appe-
tites rush for the men’s shanty to get ready for the
meal. I follow and see clean trunks around the walls,
and to my astonishment white sheets and pillows, shad-

. ed hanging lamps, newspaper covered tables. No

dirty tramps allowed in these beds, shanty boys of the
seventies and eighties you will not believe it. But ye —
hardy Canucks, ’tis true.

Atthe door of the cook-shanty, no swearing, bare-
armed bull-dog_ cook, but an orderly family, reai wo-
men cooks and girls to wait on as fine a table as any
hotel fora hundred miles around. _

What did they get? Well, to begin with, a good veget-
able soup, pork pie, roast beef, pickles, sweet cake,
apple pie, coffee or tea, with potatoes, canned toma-
toes and string beans. This is varied every day, the
“‘boss cook”’ tells me. In one of the camps only men
cooks and ‘‘cookees” were employed. The latter are
helpers, generally two for every cook, and the boys
call them ‘‘bull-cooks.”

After dinner the boys have a smoke, until the teams
are brought out for watering. Clean and glossy are
these horses, and the harness well oiled. The men
scatter to their various posts.

In the camp I hear a sound like the squeak of a
guinea hen—probably a little too sharp and steely. It
is the ‘‘filer.” With a saw set in a filing horse, breast
high, and two or three other blades lying near, you
see the man who sends to the sawyers a perfect, sharp
saw. To ‘‘fit” a cross-cut requires years of practica
use of the saw. He lightly planes the cutting teeth
and cuts the ‘‘rakers” an eigth of an inch shorter than
the cutting teeth for the purpose of pulling out the saw
dust.

As the early winter twilight slips like a flowing curtain
down the eastern sky, I imagine I will hear in dreams
to-night the distant crash of the falling timber, see the
swing of the steel blade and the rolling of the barkey
.og, while the beauty of earth before its devastation by
man enwrapped ft all. As I go into the camp again
the savory smell of supper mingles with the life-givng
aroma of the pine. After supper there is music, songs
of all description, ‘‘ancient and modern,” games going
on, all seen through much tobacco smoke. Before
nine the tired laborers are pulling off their socks at the
bunk’s edge as the lights flicker out.

What is the song of the plumy pine ©
When gather Night’s dreamy shades,
And the tender eyes of the watch-stars shine
O’er his quiet, sleeping glades ?

Whispering, whispering, ‘‘Sleep, calmly sie ig
“Lullaby, lullaby,” whispering deep.

On thro’ dusk dreamland, a soft rippling stream
Bears the tired toiler wrapped in a dream.

In one of the campsI met a timber estimator, or what
is known in Wisconsin as a ‘“‘Jand-looker.” Pretty
much all the timber has been looked over dozens of
times so that this calling has rapidly died out. This
particular ‘‘land-looker” told me he had ‘‘packed it” on
foot for days over miles and miles toward his ‘‘descrip-
tions,”’ without seeing a living thing, except wild ani-
mals in the forest or the birds. Keeping a sharp look-
out he sees a little axe-mark on the side of a tree ~
—probably made years before. Bringing out his com-
pass he consults the portion of the ‘‘blazed” tree |
which tells him at once whether that tree stands on an

i ye

“east and west or a north and south government survey
line. He follows the blazed line, keeping an eye
out for ‘‘witness” trees which mark a section corner
or quarter post. Arriving at his description his duties
consist in determining the amount and quality of the
timber on the land, the facilities for logging, and the
“shape of the surface,” which he records in a book.

The land-looker said :—‘‘I have tented for weeks in
the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Wisconsin and Min-
nesota, when the snow was five feet deep in the pine
woods, and have had to dig down into the snow under
my snowshoes to find the government blazes and scribe

Sulzberger, whose beef, pork, and other products were
always first-class and well liked by the men.

There is not so much drinking now among the men
after the camps break up as formerly, but hundreds of
snares are laid for them when they come out with their
hard earned money in the spring.

At Green Bay I saw this notice in one of the
papers :—

“Tt will soon be time for the boys to come down
from the woods now and Marinette booze dispensers
are getting ready to give them the glad hand.”

At Green Bay as well as other points I saw these
and similiar signs posted up conspicuously in saloons
and liquor joints :—

‘“LUMBERMEN’S REST.”

‘Eat and Sleep here FREE.” ‘Hot Soup FREE

“‘Free Meals all Day and all Night.

These signs with alluring music get the boys in the
dive. And the keepers ot these dens are not philan-
thropists.

for quarter sawing. It is not necessary to turn the
quarter when the center is reached, thus saving the
centre board, which is the widest and most valuable.
The last board can be cut as narrow as one inch.

This company also make single and duplex dogs,

He also stated that he had travelled for many miles on
snow-shoes, the intense cold so contracting the strings
that walking on them in the crisp snow produced a
squeak like a harsh violin note. At that time their
diet consisted of oatmeal, cornmeal, condensed milk
and flour. From the latter they made a ‘“‘dough-god”’
or “‘cold-shut.’’ This with coffee and pork was consid-
ered good living.

He said, ‘‘I have been attacked by wolves, been pulled
out from under the ice of a freezing lake, and had
my blood chilled by the catamount’s screech.”

Some of the old cooks have been in Wisconsin since
they started to ‘‘clean out” the forest. In conversa-
tion with many of them I found that they had some
brilliant ideas. Among other things they knew of was
the fact that fresh meat beginning to sour, will sweeten
if placed out of doors in the air over night, and milk
which has changed may be rendered fit for use by stir-
ring in a little soda.

One of the foremen told me that the getting of good
footwear was a prime necessity. Herold Bertsch Co.
& Rindge, Kalmbach, Logie & Co., of Grand Rapids,
had a good name in the Wisconsin camps.

One of the ‘“‘cookees” said that kerosene will soften
boots or shoes that have been hardened by water. I
saw him put a teaspoonful of turpentine in a boilerful
of white clothes. He said it was to whiten them.” They
say it does. ;

The cooks are all interested in a good camp stove
or baker. The Patent Wisconsin Camp Stove made by
Watson Brothers, Marinette, they say, is the most
convenient stove ever seen in Wisconsin camps. It is
adapted for the woods, on the drive or by the cruiser.
It bakes as perfectly as the tinest high priced range for
from ten to one hundred men. I personally saw two of
these stoves and they are marvels, inasmuch as they can
be used out doors or in a tent, unaffected by rain or

weather, baking perfectly. This stove isa portable one, ,

because I folded and carried one myself to feel and
know what a portable stove is like. These stoves are
used exclusively by the Wisconsin River Boom Com-
pany, the Hamilton Merryman Company, and the
largest operators in Wisconsin, because they claim they
do the work of high priced stoves and ranges and
do away with open fires which have caused so much
destruction to the forests.

Ienquired from the cooks and supply buyers as to
the leading supply houses and whose product was liked
the best. Most allof them mentioned Swift & Com-
pany, Omaha Packing Company and Schwarzschild &

The Niagara Falls Power Company has contracted
for 3,000,000 feet of California redwood, which is to be
used for the construction of water conduits in place of
steel. Experience shows that the sand and gravel
which are carried in flood periods by the Niagara river
rapidly scour and destroy steel, whereas the action of
water on redwood is to form a surtace of a soapy
nature which protects the wood from destruction,

THE TRANSPORTATION OF SUPPLIES.

Since railroads have pushed out in every direction
it was thought that the different lumber camps would
be well supplied. This has not been actually the case,
and there are still camps which have to get in immense
quantities of provision for both man and beast, many
situated a hundred or more miles from a railroad, which
means a long and expensive haul. The waterways
upon which the logs are floated naturally offered the
best means of getting supplies to the camps.

Recently our lumbermen, especially in the West,
have been turning their attention to the use of shallow-
draught river steamboats, not only for the purpose of
bringing in supplies, but for bringing out the logs, as
well as intercommunication between camps. In some
cases rafts and supplies have to be towed up stream,
and thus the small steamboat has come into existence.
Many of these little boats will pay for themselves in a
year or two.

The elements which enter into the construction of
steam craft are more numerous when the boat is to be
used for general business purposes on shallow, rapid
The machinery,
equipment and power must be proportioned not only to
the hull, the load which the boat is to handle, and the
runs it must make, but also to the shallow water and

rivers than is commonly understood.

swift currents.

The importance of having a substantial hull, coupled
with the necessity for very light draft and yet liberal
carrying capacity, presents advantages in favor of cer-
tain kinds of wood, rather than of sheet iron or steel,
for small and medium size steamers plying on shallow

rivers, where sunken and invisible snags and rocks are
a serious menace to light metal plates.

While a modern shop equipment and good location
for building marine machinery is an important feature,
it requires something else which is less easily purchased,
viz., a thorough practical knowledge of the subject in
all its details, that can only be gained through long
experience not only in designing and building the

A FENCE FOR LUMBERMEN.

There has arisen a considerable

) demand for a wire fence by lumber-

men, not only for fencing limits, re-

te serves and piling grounds, but to

enclose mill premises. One of the

best fences especially adapted for

this purpose is the New Century fence, illustrated

herewith, and made by the Ontario Wire Fencing
Company, Limited, of Picton, Ontario.

A glance at the illustration herewith will show many
points of advantage over most wire fences. Sagging is
entirely overcome by the heavy horizontal wires. The
great strength of the net weave is much increased by
adding the heavy middle wires. The mesh wires act in

two ways, by tieing the fabric together and adding
their full strength to the horizontal wires. It is claimed
that no square meshed fencing has this advantage, as
the tie wires of the latter give no strength lengthwise
to the fabric.

A visit to the immense works of this company by our

FENCING Co., LIMITED, PICTON, ONT.

representative revealed a busy scene, with the latest
improved machinery in operation. The manager states
that no other wire fencing having the same weight of
wire per rod equals the New Century fence in strength.
A very heavy maple tree blew over on one of these
fences, and, although the fence had been erected over
fifteen years ago, not a strand was broken. Lumber-
men should get prices from this company.

PULP AND PAPER DIRECTORY.

Post’s Paper Mill Directory for 1903 has been issued
and is now for sale. It is published by Mr. L. D. Post,
editor of the Paper Mill, 13-21 Park Row, New York
City. It contains upwards of 600 pages and is perhaps
the most complete directory of the kind ever issued.
Besides a complete list of the paper, pulp and chemical
fibre mills of the United States and Canada, it contains
a comprehensive list of the mills in foreign countries as
well as a complete list of the paper box manufacturers
of the United States and Canada, claimed to be an
entirely new feature. Officers of each mill, from the
president to the secretary, are indexed as well as
printed in another part of the book in connection with
a detailed account of the mill. The price of the book
is $2. There are shown to be fifty pulp mills in opera-
tion and under construction in Canada. Of this num-
ber thirty-eight mills manufacture ground wood pulp,
eight sulphite fibre and four soda fibre.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

An almost complete suspension of work
in the building trade in Toronto, on ac-
count of labor troubles, has checked the
local consumption of lumber. Where a
few weeks ago dealers were being urged
to accept orders, many of them now re-
port, for the first time this spring, a slack-
ening in the home demand. The strikes
are likely to be settled at an early date,
but if the employers should find it neces-
sary to meet, even in part, the demands of
labor for increased wages, it is feared
that the cost of building will be so high
as to discourage the carrying out of pro-
posed undertakings. Many building pro-
jects are now in an embryo state awaiting
the outcome of the negotiations under way.
Throughout the province an average vol-
ume of building is in progress.

Fluctuations in lumber prices have been
slight. A comparison of the May lists
with those of April shows only minor
changes. Common pine, 6x6 in 14 and 16-
foot lengths,is held at_$17 at the mill, Ten

inch box and common is worth about $16,
and inch box and common shorts about

$13. Box manutacturers appear to be using”

a larger quantity of spruce lumber than
formerly. The average price for spruce
on the Georgian Bay is about $15, al-
though as high as $19 is asked for lengths
of 24 and 26 feet in 2x6 to 12-inch.

There continues to be heavy buying of
hemlock lumber and dimension timber.
For lengths above 18 teet $13.50 at the
mill is asked.

Hardwoods are moving actively, ship-
ments to the Eastern States being quite
large. Manufacturers’ prices for inch
mill-run elm and basswood are around
$20, and for birch $18. There is said to
have been disappointment with the quan-
tity of hardwood logs taken out during the
winter, which has given a still firmer tone

to the market.

Shingles and lath are steady. For
XXXX pine shingles $2.75 at the mill is
asked,

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Shipping of lumber from the port of
Montreal has been paralyzed by the long-
shoremen’s strike, which at time of writing
has assumed a somewhat serious aspect.
Vessels are completely tied up. Reports
from mill points are encouraging. Manu-
facturers are receiving numerous inquiries
for clapboards and other spruce lumber
for shipment tothe Eastern States. In
lath and shingles the firmer tone noted
last week has been retained. The demand
continues to improve. Extra cedar shin-

gles now range in price from $3.50 to

$3.60, clears are worth $3, and second
clears $2.40, on Boston freight rate.

BRITISH CO]UMBIA AND MANITOBA.

The lumber consumption throughout the
North-West this spring is exceptionally

large, the demand being chiefly for build- .

ing material. At some points a scarcity is
reported, but it is believed that, as all the
mills are now in operation, the production
will shortly overtake the demand. Attract-
ed by the rumors of a lumber combine,
several American capitalists are turning
the Canadian North-
West, and will, it is reported, establish
yards at different points.

any extent the price of lumber, owing to
the high cost of production. Confirmation
has been received of the change in the

price of British Columbia shingles for de- |

livery throughout Manitoba and the North-
West. The new list which went into effect
on April ist last has been canceled, and
the list of August 25th, 1902, is in effect.
Owing to the shortage of cars the shingle
manufacturers are considering the ques-

It is improbable ..
that such action will result in reducing to .

fi

tion of closing down the mills for a time,
but it is hoped that such action will not be
found necessary.

UNITED STATES.

The lumber demand in the United
States during the past week has been of
average volume, although labor troubles
in the Eastern States are a disturbing
factor in the situation. There has been
a falling off in the demand for dimension
timber, and until the uncertainty prevail-
ing in labor circles is removed bnyers will
be cautious about assuming large respon-
sibilities. Nevertheless lumber prices re-
main firm. At Buffalo and Tonawanda
hox lumber and other coarse grades have
never been as scarce, resulting in an
advance of from 50 cents to $1 during the
past week, Some of the better grades
are also scarce, due in large measure to

stances an advance of 50 cents upon the
list price has been made. Hemlock piece
stuff is taking the place of Norway be-
cause of the difference in price. Very
little Michigan hemlock is finding its way
into the Eastern States, so that the Penn-
sylvania product has little competition.
The spruce market continues firm, al-
though random lengths are slightly
easier at Boston.

There is as yet no indications of lower
prices for hardwood lumber. At Michigan
mi'ls log run maple is held at $14, with
very little dry stock being offered, log run
basswood at $20, and ash at $16. At
wholesale centres ‘n the Eastern States

_ log run basswood has sold as high as $30.
Poplar is in excellent demand, bringing
$52 in New York city. Maple flooring is
firm and it is believed that concerted
action on the part of manufacturers would
make it comparatively easy to advance
the prices to their former level.

GREAT BRITAIN.

The best that can be said of British
trade isthat the market is steady. Prices
of lumber in stock have not strengthened
as much as the position would seem to
warrant, while contracts closed for new
stock do not compare favorably in volume
with the corresponding period of last year.

NEW BRUNSWICK LOG DRIVES.

The outlook for log drives on the upper

ed during the last few days. The river
rose fully four feet last week and is now
higher than at any time this spring. There
is still plenty of snow in the woods and
another week with the river at its present
driving pitch will see about all the logs on
the move.

Already between 5,000,000 to 8,000,000
feet of logs have run into the booms at
Douglas and Sugar Island. They came
principally from the Tobique, Allegash
and Grand Rivers and belong to Hilyard
Bros., Estey, Cunliffe Bros., Sweeney,
and Fraser & Son. None from North-
west Branch have yet put in appearance.

R. A. Estey, of Fredericton, has been
advised that his Tobique drives, amount-
ing to about 4,000,000 feet, are in safe
water and his Rockway drive is coming
along well. It is believed that all the To-
bique drives will be out next week.

DOORS AND MOULDINGS.

A large buyer of Canadian white pine
doorsand mouldings is open to contract
with a mill for their entire output of No.
3 and 4 qualities of doors and all their
mouldings during 1902. Write in first in-
stance to ‘‘Empire,”” CANADA LUMBERMAN.

An Adirondack spruce firm has just

closed a contract with the General Elec- —

tric Company, of Schenectady, to supply
them with about 9,000,000 feet of spruce,
to be shipped to them during the year,
and to be used for boxes.

In an interview given recently Mr. J. A.
Humbird, of St. Paul, who is interested in
the Victoria Lumber Company of Chem-
ainus, B. C., said: ‘‘There is a large
amount of lumber being sold at the present
time. The worst feature about the lumber

and shingle business on the coast is the
car shortage. The trouble is that the
westbound shipments are not great enough
to keep the number of cars required here.
You can't expect railroad companies to
haul empty cars to the coast for the pur-
pose of hauling lumber eastward.”

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION

THE BOSTON MARKET.

There continues to bea good demand
in Boston for spruce lumber. In fact, it
may be said that the demand is excellent
when the possibility of widespread labor
troubles is considered. A fair supply is
coming forward, especially from the
Provinces, though there is still com-
plaint that the railroads cannot move
freight as quickly as is desired. The quo-

tations are firm : Ten and 12-inch dimen-

sions, $21; nine inch and under,
$19; 10 and 12-inch random lengths,
10 feet and up, $20.50; 2X3, 2X4,

2x5, 2x6, 2x7, and 3x4, 10 feet and up,
$17 to $17.50 ; all other randoms, 9-inch
and under, 10 feet and up, $18 to $18.50 ;
5-inch and up, merchantable boards, $17 ;
matched boards, $18.50 to $20; out spruce
boards, $13 to $14 ; bundle furring, $17.

Hemlock boards are firm, but prices
are generally unchanged: Boards, 12,

eastern ; Pennsylvania, No. 1, $18.50 to.

$19.50; No. 2, $15 to $16.50.

good demand and only a moderate sup-
ply : Uppers, 1 to 2 in. $84 to $87; 2%

selects,1 in. $76;1% to 1% in. $76 to $78; 2

2-in. $72; 2% to 3 in. $80; 4-in.
$82; barn boards, $23 to $33; coffin

boards, $28 to $32.

Hardwood lumber is in excellent de-
mand with the market very firm both
here and in the South. There is still
complaint as to the scarcity of whitewood
and quartered oak, and prices may go
higher. The quotationsare: Quartered oak,
$75 to $83; plain oak, $45 to $47; com-
mon and rejects, $20 to $25; red
oak, plain, $43; whitewood, $54 to

and prices are firm and unchanged: Extra,
$45; clear, $43 ; second clear, $40 ; extra

quotably higher: One and five - eighths

SHIPPING MATTERS.

A dispatch from Seattle, Wash., dated
April 22nd, says :—*‘ Secretary Victor H.
Beckman, of the Shingle Association, has
received a letter from the Treasury De-
partment asking for information regarding
an order recently issued by the Great
Northern and the Northern Pacific Rail-
ways and three days ago supplemented
by an order from the Wisconsin Central,
refusing to furnish any more cars for
shingle shipments east of Chicago. The
contention of the lines is that they now
have upwards of 14,000 cars on foreign
lines in the east, which they are unable to
get back. The effect of th’s order will be
to kill the Washington shingle market in
the eastern states, amounting to about
5,000 cars annually, and in the face of
present conditions, including the largest
surplus stock on record in the hands of

the coast mills and little demand in the
central west, the situation is alarming to
the trade.”

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN

A WISCONSIN TRIP.
(By Our Travelling Representative.)

Crossing Lake Michigan I landed at Manitowac, a
lumber shipping point. Considerable lumber is brought
from the interior of Wisconsin by rail, the same cars
being run onto the large lake ferry boats and landed at
Ludington, from which point the cars are sent through
without transhipment to Toledo, Ohio, and other points.

Two Rivers is still quite a lumber shipping point, and
a regular fleet of lake schooners and barges have done
a great deal of business in the carrying trade from
this section.

Up at Green Bay I saw the effects of a decaying
industry. This was formerly a great center of lumber-
ing operations, but nothing of magnitude is to be look-
ed for nowadays. It is said that the Diamond Match
Company got out over forty million feet of timber
from the Ontonagon river this last winter. The logs
were loaded on cars and hauled to Green Bay, where
they are being sawed. This company stationed en-
gines along its logging roads and a cable is used to
assist the horses up the inclines with the big loads.

A new logging railroad is to be built across Mar-
inette county. It is to be constructed by the Bird &
Wells Lum»er Company, who own considerable tim-
ber in that region. The road will be from 15 to 30
miles long, opening up a quantity of standing timber
and making it tributary to Wausaukee and Marinette.
The line will run from Athelstane to the Forest
County line.

Logging operations at Girard Junction are to be
continued through the summer. This will finish up the
pine and cedar in that locality. At one of the mills in
Green Bay steam was raised as early as February 27th
in order to thaw out the ice in the Jog pond, to secure a
place in which to float the logs. The ice was melted by
steam passed through a small pipe which is let down
just under the surface of the water and the heat melts
the ice rapidly. Inthe past the pipe was laid under
the ice.

At the logging camps at Armstrong Creek, over ten
million feet of logs were in the water before March ist.
The latter part of February the sun was so strong as
to spoil some of the roads, but next season a logging
road will be built to get out the timber.

The Diamond Match Company received over forty
cars of logs per day in February and started up their
plant on March oth.

At Marinette I found the lumbermen anxiously await-
ing the result of the season’s cut. The N. Ludington
Company are very prominent dealers and do a large
trade. I learned that portable sawmills were going
through the cut-over lands of Wisconsin cutting down
everything and anything marketable.

Watson Bros., of Marinette, are preparing to go
largely into the manufactnre of lumber camp stoves.
They have one of the best in existence and should find
a great demand for it.

At Appleton I found the Miller Lumber Company and

the Geo. Jones Lumber Company doing the principal
business in this section. Both at this point and at
Kaukauna the pulp and paper-mill men told me that
never before had there been such a shortage of pulp-
wood since they commenced the munufacture of paper
from wood. They asked me if they could get a supply
of pulpwood from Ontario, and I answered that we
should be pleased to do more—we would send them the
pulp, but not the wood.

The Pulpwood Supply Company, which was under
contract to furnish the mills of the Fox River Valley
with 175,000 cords of pulpwood, had difficulty in get-
ting the usual amount this year.

Oshkosh has always been noted asa great sash,
door and blind center. The general opinion was that
the end of the white pine was near, and white pine
meant life or death to the sash and door trade. This
opinion was not generally shared by all, as some
seemed to think the white pine could be easily replaced
by yellow pine, hemlock, etc. The larger concerns
felt that as long as there was white pine in the north
they must have it or run a losing trade with the north-
ern concerns. At Oshkosh they are now turning out a
pine veneered door which would be counted a novelty
in some parts of Canada. Even to my own mind the
very word “‘veneer” seems to mean a valuable wood.
Pine is valuable in Oshkosh—$65 being a very low
price per thousand for the best stock, The door fac-
tories now take the cheaper grades, pine culls and
hemlock, and veneer it with clear pine, making a No. 1
door, having special machinery for doing this work.
Speaking to a leading manufacturer about this, he said
laughingly: ‘“‘Yes, we are using a pine veneer to-day—
to-morrow we will stuff them with sawdust!” Another
Oshkosh lumberman said to me: ‘Send over your
Canadian travellers to sell us lumber.” The same con-
ditions exist in the whole of Wisconsin as in Northern
Michigan. Five years or less will see the end of the
white pine industry, and Minnesota is rapidJy going the
same way.

While in the northern part of the state I went right
into a lumber section where grippe was raging. As a
result I took away a severe attack of grippe as a sou-
venir. The camps on account of the epidemic were
short-handed.

At Oshkesh is situated the E. B. Hayes Machinery
Company, manufacturers of wood-working machinery.
Dowel, door, sash, blind and furniture machinery is
their specialty. They pay special attention to the ex-
port trade. This company is now pushing out for the
world’s trade. ad oe ee Cee

The E. B. Hayes Company manufacture machinery

for all sizes of plants, including double end tenoning
machines of several styles. They also make power
door clamps, double door stickers and sash machinery.
The machine we illustrate is called a Standard New
Geared Double End Tenoner. The’new feature of this
machine is in the ‘‘cope arbors,” which are driven by
means of gears in place of belts. The old style of ma-
chine required six belts on this part of the machine, ot
which this company claim to be the originators. All
mechanics in the wood-working line will see that this
new way of applying power to the ‘‘cope arbors’ on
the machine is a new feature anda great step in ad-
vance along the line of improvements. _

and W. J. Campbell. These concerns number among
them the largest in the city. Mr. Dis. W. Denham
gave me considerable information respecting the city’s
progress.

The Star Foundry & Machine Works, of which Mr.
J. A. Barnes is the proprietor, manufacture the Climax

the last few years a necessity because of the large
amount of work that can be accomplished with
accuracy, as well as other labor-saving qualities.

In this city there are some wood-working industries,
such as the manufacture of heavy lumber wagons,
sleighs, logging trucks, etc., for which there is a con-
stantly increasing demand in Canada.

At Fond du Lac there are several industries of con-
siderable magnitude, including the O. C. Steenberg
Company, manufacturers of sash, doors and blinds ;
Giddings & Lewis, saw mill machinery; and B. F. &
H. A. Sweet, who make mill carts, lumber wagons,
etc., on an extensive scale.

ber center. One of the largest concerns, the Quinne-

_ sec Lumber Company, whose advertisement will be
seen in another column, are pushing out into Canada.
Several more companies would like to get in Canadian
lumber direct but are not exactly sure how to do it.

' They have only to consult our columns to see how
others are successfully doing it—by the insertion of a
card in the CANADA LUMBERMAN.

The middle west has a brilliant future and Milwau-
kee is pushing along phenomenally in manufacturing.
It now takes rank as the second machinery center in
the west. It has lately secured a new coke manufac-
turing plant which will cost $400,000 and which will
put the Chicago and Milwaukee manufacturing district
ultimately more on a parity with Pittsburg. This in-
dustry will lead to new experimentaticn, development
and mastery of the problem ot the west manufacturing

_ its own coke. Mark Hanna is interested in this plant.

Owing to the fact that 75 per cent. of all the iron ore
used in the United States comes from the region north
of Milwaukee, the Lake Superior district, it was said,

decided to make the coke nearer the ore. All the
motive machinery recently installed on the New York
elevated roads was made in Milwaukee.

There are several firms making saw mill machinery
and manufactures of interest to the lumber trade.
Prominent among these is the well-known firm of
Wm. Bayley & Sons Company, whose extensive plant
on Greenbush street is one of the city’s busy hives.
_ They also make the Progressive lumber kilns for drying
all kinds of lumber, staves, heading, etc., as well as
_ Steel plate blowers and exhausters for removing dust
and shavings from wood-working establishments.

_ Another large plant is that of the Nash Sander Com-

‘pany on Lake and Ferry streets. We have pleasure
oe in showing an illustration in this issue of the automatic
Nash sander. This machine is designed for and es-
‘pecially adapted to sanding or polishing all kinds of
‘round work, such as chair stock, dowel rods, curtain

handles ; also for polishing metal rods, gas pipe and
tubing. The machine is thoroughly well built, very
strong and substantial in every respect. All ot the
boxes, bearings and oil holes are so constructed and
arranged as to perfectly exclude all sand or dust, thus
insuring great durability for the machine. This ma-
chine will sand all sizes of stock from Y% inch to 24%
inches diameter and any length. These sanders will
sand stock at a speed of from forty to sixty running
feet per minute. Two sand belts are used and are so

arranged that the one with fine sand follows the one
with coarsé sand, thus producing finely finished work
once through the machine, though the work may have
been very roughly turned. The sand belts can be put
on or removed very quickly without removing or dis-
connecting any part of the machine. The pulleys that
carry these belts are on the ends of the shafts over-
hanying the boxes.

These machines turn: out in ten hours

2000 16-foot curtain poles.

Of special interest to planing mills and flooring _

manufacturers are the machines of the W.S. Sher-
man Company. They make an improved matcher and
a face boring machine for boring jointed flooring,
which are well and favorably known to all the leading
It makes jointed or factory
flooring marketable without increasing the cost of
labor. Jointed flooring is claimed to be the best for
factory floors when it is bored, because nail heads
may be set below the surface. Besides being an
“order fetcher” the lower grades of flooring stock can
be turned into jointed or factory flooring and made
marketable by face boring. These machines are a
necessity for the close competitor in the business.
Besides the Quinnesec Log & Lumber Company,
the Curtis & Yale Company, M. Hilty Lumber Com-
pany, and Page & Landeck are leading firms. Hard-
wood flooring is a specialty with them. The Curtis &
Yale Company are large manufacturers of sash, doors
and blinds. The M. Hilty Company do quite a trade

flooring manufacturers.

lumber.

In Madison I met the Frederickson Brothers, A. D.
and J. V., both of whom gave me a hearty welcome
to their large establishment. Besides being extensive
pine, hemlock and hardwood manufacturers and
dealers they are builders and contractors. The Miller-
Parkinson Company are also doing a business of
considerable magnitude.

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN 3

A lumberman informed me that there was not as
much pine standing in Wisconsin as was generally
believed.
number of portable saw-mills were now going through
the cut-over lands cutting down everything and any-
thing.

A short run brought me to Beeton, near the Illinois
border. Mr. L. O. Stordock is the principal lumber
dealer here. I visited the R. J; Dowd works and
found them rushed with business. They will in the
near future doa large trade in Canada. The Berlin
Machine Works is one of the largest wood-working
machiney plants I have ever visited, employing nearly
one thousand hands. Their trade and fame is rapidly
extending to all parts of the world, whilst their Cana-
dian trade is assuming great proportions.

After having gone through Wisconsin from north to
south and zig-zagged across the state from east to
west, I was astonished to find such a very small lot of
pine, either standing timber or lumber. Most of the
dealers are substituting ‘‘any old thing” for pine wher-
ever possible.

In 1900 the lumber product of Wisconsin was valued
at $54,634,816, which was the largest of all the states.
1901 and 1902 saw great cuts made and that is the
answer to any question of where the lumber went.

The state is still the chief contributor to the country’s
supply of white pine.

According to information I gleaned at the state
capital the amount invested in the lumber industries
was as follows :

The number of persons engaged in the lumber in-
dustry in Wisconsin last year as proprietors, officials
and wage earners was 33,107. The amount paid for
wages in 1900 was nearly thirteen millions of dollars.
This showed a decrease last year.

lions of feet (board measure) of timber in Wisconsin

consisting of hemlock, spruce, poplar, white oak, the
balance of the pine and other hardwoods. There isa
large amount of hemlock in the state. 1890 was the
high water mark, the value of the lumber in that year
being nearly $61,000,000. In 1900 it was three
millions of dollars less and it is}said this year will show
at least a decrease of seven or eight millions despite
the much higher market prices.

To show how rapidly the great pine forest has been
slashed down, Wisconsin did not become prominent in
lumbering until 1870. In 1880 it occupied third place
in the industry, in 1892 it rose to second place, and in
1900 to first place.

Apparently no attempt whatever has been made in
the line of natural reproduction, and as a consequence
the pine of Wisconsin is nearly all gone—never to
return. ee eel

PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS.

President J. L. Campbell called the meeting
to order and after a few words of welcome to
the members proceeded to deliver his annual
address, which was as follows :

To Members of the Western Retail Lumber-
men’s Association :

Gentlemen,—It is proper that I should ex-
plain to you why you are called together at
this time instead of in February, as has been
the custom heretofore. It has been found that
for some years past during bonspiel week
there were so many counter attractions that
the many important affairs of the association
werealmostneglected. Many subjects were pass-

‘Ts.

ed over entirely,and those brought up were only
partially discussed, and no satisfactory con-
clusion arrived at. In fact the usefulness of
the association was stifled, and so little of ben-
efit was accomplished that we might almost as
well have had no annual meetings. In view of
this, your directors have thought it wise to
hold this annual meeting at a time when those
in attendance could give their undivided atten-
tion to the matters presented. You will be
asked to give advice as to the continuance of
this practice.

Owing to the rapid strides ot your association
and its extended sphere of usefulness, your dir-
ectors have considered that the by-laws formu-
lated ten years ago were unsuited to later con-
ditions. As a matter of fact, the workings of
the association in practice have been getting
far away from the lines laid down in these
by-laws. For some time past, the feeling has
been growing with your directors that the by-
laws should be so modified as to make them
more compatible with the actual workings of
the association. The by-laws, as amended,
will be presented for your consideration and
adoption, with the hope that they may be tound
to express more clearly the objects of the asso-
ciation, and the spirit of the intention.

Like other kindred organizations, it has
been thought an opportune time to introduce a
scheme of fire insurance applicable only to
members engaged in the retail lumber business.
Your secretary has obtained valuable informa-
tion on the subject, through the courtesy of
Mr. Hollis, secretary of the Northwestern Lum-
bermen’s association, which gives us useful
data, and much encouragement in presenting

for your consideration a plan of fire insurance _

for our members. When this scheme is laid
before you in detail, I am sure it will receive
your thoughtful attention. :

In order to enlarge the usefulness of our
association and to give added interest to its
members, it is proposed to establish an infor-
mation bureau, for the purpose of collecting
and disseminating items of general and useful
information, for the benefit of our members.
This will be done by bulletins sent out at regu-
lar intervals. 1 trust each member will con-
sider it incumbent upon himself to forward to
the proper officer any interesting items touch-
ing upon the lumber business, or the affairs of
the association. Ip short it is hoped that all
will lend their co-operation to make this feature
of our association attractive and useful.

It is with the greatest pleasure I testify to
the indefatigable and efficient services of the
secretary, to whose zeal, more than that of
any other person, is due the great success at-
tained by our association in the past.

In conclusion, I wish particularly to draw
attention to the great kindness I have experi-
enced at the hands of the individual members in
general, making special mention of those of
your board of directors. With them the labor
incident to the conduct of your affairs has been
made a pleasure rather than a task.

The Secretary, Mr. Isaac Cockburn, then
presented his annual report. The receipts for
the year and cash on hand at time of last
report were shown to be $8,713.28, and the
disbursements $3,045.04,leaving a cash balance

—
of $5,668.24. The report concluded as fol-
lows :

Our membership with yards on the 31st De-
cember, 1902, was 343,aS8 against 244 the year
previous, being an increase of 99 active mem-
bers, and that of our honorary members was
63 as against 37 in the year 1go1, being an
increase of 26 in number.

When I state yard membership, I wish to
distinguish that from membership which I
have not included, and for which applications _
have been granted along the several lines of
railway under construction, or about to be, —
and which will be listed as fast as the roads
are opened, so that stocks may be put in.

In the matter of grievances it has been my
purpose to bring about reconciliation of dif- —
ferences arising therefrom, and I am strongly 4
of the opinion this is much the better course, ;
than that of harshness. Harmony and friend- —
ship prevailing between all members is con-
ducive to bringing about improved conditions
of the association, and we are required to al-
ways bear in mind that you are simply an
association of dealers to promote the better-
ment of the trade by uplifting each other, and
not the thought of the possibility ot the dollars
that are in it*for you, individually. Conse-
quently, it behoves you to give the utmost
consideration to each other and inculcate a —
kindly and friendly feeling in coming in contact
one with another, and exercising well defined
business ethics.

You will observe that our association has —
has been extending until it has become worthy
of the term often applied to this western
country, that is, one of magnificent distances,
bounded as it is on the east by Ontario, on
the west by British Columbia, on the north by
Prince Albert in the Saskatchewan district and
Edmonton, and nortfeast in the Alberta dis-
trict, and on the south by the confines of
Montana and Dakota. I might say that while
the district of Alberta is great, we are success-
fully operating it through an advisory board
in that locality, and have received quite an
impetus there, both north and south, since its

organization. :

As you know, we are confronted with a very
general cry that we are an iniquitous combine,
bringing about extortionate prices and unduly

restraining the trade. This, of course, is not
true, and it is passing strange that all this
agitation has just now arisen after an existence
of 12 years of the association. To my mind,
the retail trade in lumber under this associ-
ation has been conducted with remarkable
fairness to the consumers. The prices over_
the wholesale cost have been moderate as com-
pared with other mercantile lines of business.

shipping direct by water.

—The workmen employed at the mills of the Hawkes-
bury Lumber Company at Hawkesbury, Ont., recently
went on strike as the result of the refusal of the com-
pany to grant increased wages and other concessions.
The strikers interfered with the operation of the mills
and it was considered advisable to close down. A few
of the men were inclined to be riotous, but peace was
soon restored by the authorities. Within a few days a
settlemet was reached, the men returning to work on
April 15th under practically the conditions which pre-
viously existed.

—The Frederiction Boom Company have applied to
the New Brunswick Government for authority to ad-
vance the prices charged for booming and rafting tim-
ber. it was proposed to increase the rate for rafting
spruce and pine from 75 cents to go cents per thousand
feet, and for rafting cedar from $1.20 to $1.40. Lum-

ermen objected to so great an increase, and as the re-
sult of a conference a compromise was reached. The
pew rate will be 85 cents for pine and spruce and $1.30
for cedar. In future all logs scaling less than 50 feet
will pay a minimum toll of 6 cents each, instead of being
charged by the thousand feet. In advocating the in-
creased tolls the Boom Company pointed out that the
size of the logs coming down theriver is gradually de-
creasing year by year, and that it is just as expensive
to raft a small log as a large one.

From William Rider & Sons, Limited, London, Eng-
land, publishers of the Timber Trades Journal, we have
received two valuable books. One is a copy of the
1903 edition of their ‘‘List of Shipping Marks on
Timber,” which embraces what might be termed the
trade mark of the leading shippers in all the timber
exporting countries. It indicates great care in its
compilation, and, bound in cloth, sells at $1.50. The
other book is designated “English Timber and Its
Economical Conversion”, and deals with the conversion
and, manufacture of timber in a manner which makes it
of great value to the grower, the timber merchant and
the manufacturer. It is claimed to be the first work of
the kind. Chapters are devoted to ‘‘The Measurement
of Round Timber”, “Prices for Labour on Round
Timber”, ‘‘Methods of Drying”, etc.

NEW PROCESS FOR PRODUCING MECHANI-
CAL WOOD PULP.

In their new pulp mill, just nearing com-
pletion at Fraserville, Quebec, the River du
Loup Pulp Company, Limited, have installed a
system of machinery which, if equal in effici-
ency to the claims made for it, will simply
revolutionize the pulp manufacturing business.

The actual process of grinding is unchanged,
the improvement being in the method used for
sheeting the pulp for shipment. Every person
familiar with pulp mill machinery is conversant
with the faults of the ordinary wet machine
used for sheeting pulp, the excessive cost for
felts, rolls, repairs, etc., and the compara-
tively small capacity of each machine, com-
pared with the floor space it occupies. In the
‘Hughes process,” as used by the River du
Loup Pulp Company, the wet machine is en-
tirely dispensed with and its place, together
with the place of the expensive hydraulic
presses, is taken by the Hughes hydraulic
pulp jmachine, which with a capacity equal to
a 72 nch wet machine, only occupies a floor
space of six feet wide by nine feet long, and
besides, dispenses entirely with felts, rolls,
‘gears, belts, and all the other clumsy and com-
plicated machinery now in use. An idea of
the saving in floor space gained by the use of
these new machines can be formed from the
fact that the press room of the River du
Loup Pulp Company, with a daily capacity of
turty tons dry weight per twenty-four hours is,
only 50 feet x 50 feet, and not only that, but
sufficient space is left so that additional
machines can be added, bringing the capacity
up to fifty-five or sixty tons dry weight.

The process is this : From the screens, the
pulp passes over a simple form of “slush ma-
chine” which extracts the greater part of the
water, and leaves the pulp of about the con-
stituency of porridge. In this form it is pump-
ed directly into the hydraulic pulp machines,
which consist of a ‘‘compression chamber”
divided into four spaces by drainer plates .cov-
ered with wire cloth, attached to which is a
hydraulic cylinder on which any desired pres-
sure can be exerted. Pulp is admitted to this
compression chamber and pressure applied,
which extracts the water through the drainer
plates, and delivers the finished product in the
form of sheets, 20” x 26” and about 34” thick,

a very convenient form for baling. Almost
any test desired can be obtained, the dryness
of the pulp depending entirely on the length of
time that the pulp is left in the compression
chamber, together with the amount of pressure
applied.

‘In this process, the fibres

of the pulp are

than the ordinary equipmenc of a pulp mill, in
that the heavy hydraulic presses, which are
necessary for extracting the water under the
old system of sheeting pulp, are entirely dis-
pensed with. From these hydraulic pulp ma-
chines the sheets simply pass through a light
baling press, to be made into bundles for ship-
ment, or if for local consumption, the sheets
can be shipped without bundling, thus dispens-
ing with the baling press as well. The work
being all done by hydraulic pressure no expen-
sive equipment of counter-shafting, belts, etc.,
is necessary, and everything considered, a
noticeable cost of production per dry ton is
obtained.

indebted to Mr. L. D. Post, of the Paper Mill,

wet machine, and consequently are not matted
or interlaced, but simply conipressed and the
water extracted, leaving the pulp porous and
spongy, and consequently much easier te re-
duce to pulp again in the beating engines of a
paper mill. At least 10 per cent. of power can
be saved, and in most paper mills power is an
important item.

Besides the saving in floor space in con-
struction of the mill, and the saving in felt
cost, the installation is also much less costly

36 THE CANADA LUMBERMAN

WHERE TO BUY SUPPLIES.

There is no part of the lumbering business requiring
so much care as the purchase of supplies for the camp
or the drive. We have taken considerable care in com-
piling a carefully selected list of the leading reliable
dealers on both sides of the boundary line who make
a specialty of catering for this supply trade.

We can confidently recommend to the buyers the fol-
lowing list of well-known firms, and advise the buyers
to preserve this list as a handy reference when requir-
ing the very best goods at the lowest prices :—

GROCERY SUPPLIES. °

Among Canada’s leading wholesalers the well-known
firm of H. P. Eckardt & Company, of Toronto, rank
high. They make a special feature of the lumber camp
supply business, and hold a large share of this trade.
By studying the wants and needs of the lumbermen they
have augmented this trade until at present it has as-
sumed prodigious proportions.

Lucas, Steele & Bristol, Hamilton, are well and favor-
ably known to most lumbermen, but despite this fact
they believe in advertising. As a consequence they
are doing a great share of the supply business. Many
firms when approached on the immense lumber camp
supply business say ‘‘Oh! we know all of them, and
they all know us ! !”—meaning that the business is not
worth much to them. But Lucas, Steele & Bristol
cater to this branch of the trade and as a consequence
are getting and will get new customers right along.

W. H. Gillard & Company, of Hamilton, make a
specialty of everything in the Jine of grocery supplies,
especially dried fruits, lard, beans, teas and coffees.
They area wide-awake, progressive firm, putting out
first-class stock.

The Whitehead-Turner Company, of Quebec, is one
of the largest firms in that province. They havea large
trade with the lumbering interests, and many of the lat-
ter have dealt with them exclusively for years.

The Davidson & Hay, Limited, 36 Yonge street, Tor-
onto, are wholesale grocers and importers, doing a con-
siderable camp sypply business. The company is well
and favorably known by lumbering men.

Perkins, Ince & Company, Front street, Toronto, can
interest buyers when quantity, quality, and prices are
essential considerations. They are noted for the At
condition of their supplies.

T. Long & Bro. Company, Limited, Collingwood,
have for many years done a great trade with the lum-
bermen, particularly around the Georgian Bayand Lake
Huron districts. . They push out for it and get it while
other firms are waiting for the buyers to hear of their
existence.

Some wholesale grocers imagine that their travellers
should catch all the buyers of lumber camp supplies.
How such a foolish notion can enter the head of a
supposed ‘‘business” man is past comprehension. By
sending out hundreds of letters and enquiries and by
personal canvas of our own travellers, it is found that
not ten per cent. of the lumber camp supp!y business
can be reached by travellers, because the buyers are
evanescent and are changed frequently, as well as for
the additional reason that the camps are changed, new
conditions arise and the buyer is often far away from
the camp or his firm’s headquarters when he buys his
supplies.

MEATS, PROVISIONS, ETC.

In the travels of our representative throughout
Canada, Michigan, Wisconsin, etc., he frequently met
with complaints against the meat providers regarding
the inferior quality sent into some cf the camps. Talks
with the buyers, the cooks, and even the men showed
in some cases a harsh indictment against the disposers
of rancid pork and embalmed beef.

We can vouch for the firms we list herewith as
having not a single comment against them, in the
above respect, and they are as well the largest in the
various lines and spheres

The attention of lumber camp outfitters is called to

establishments thoroughly understand and appreciate
the needs of the Canadian lumberman. They have
made a careful study. of the meats best adapted to
those men who lead rigorous out-of-door lives and
want hearty sustaining foods. In the selection of
corn-fed hogs, the preparation of material and the final
inspection, the greatest care is manifested at every
stage to insure uniform fine quality and maintain the
high standard of tood product excellence.

The Wm. Davies Company, Limited, Toronto, are
doing an immense business in the line of meats, etc.
This company have the services of two noted experts,
Drs. Smale and Addison. No harmful adulterations or
rancid meats are allowed by the company to be put on
the market. The Davies brand ‘is noted for its ex-
cellence.

Swift & Company, Chicago, is a well-known estab-
lishment, aud thoroughly appreciate the needs of the
lumbermen. In addition to the main house at Chicago
covering over 40 acres,they have large packing houses
at Kansas City, Omaha, St. Louis, St. Joseph, St.
Paul and Fort Worth. Not only are their facilities of
the best, but the output is the best that can be pro-
duced. Five thousand Swift refrigerator cars quickly
and safely transport the company’s products to over
two hundred and fifty branch houses.

verlisement appears on another page, will be pleased

are alone in special lines which they provide for the
camp and their product, we are informed, is highly
appreciated by those who use it. They certainly have
a fine clean way of putting up their goods.

W. Clark, Montreal, makes a specialty of potk and
beans and canned corned beef.

WEARING APPAREL,

The Hudson Bay Knitting Company’s two page
advertisement in this issue should be consulted by all
lumbermen. This company is one of the largest of its
kind in the world. They carry an enormous stock and
are able to fill quickly the largest orders.

The Herold-Bertsch Shoe Company, of Grand

‘Rapids, Michigan, make a specialty of larrigans,

swamping and cruising boots, etc. This firm is one
of the wide-awake companies who are pushing out for
the world's trade.

Rindge, Kalmback, Logie & Co., Grand Rapids, of
whom we speak in another portion of this issue, do a
great business in lumbermen’s boots and shoes.

John Palmer, Fredericton, N.B., makes a specialty of
foot-wea1, etc. His advertisement should be consulted.

Wm. A. Holt, of St. Andrews, N. B., is one of the
most reliable dealers in the maritime provinces. See
his advertisement in this issue.

Attention is called to the announcement of Clayton

| reputation with the lumber trade.

J. J. Turner & Sons, of Peterboro, make waterproof
clothing, etc. They have one of the largest manufac-
tories in this line in the Dominion. Considerable
quantities of waterproof clothing are needed in the

May, 1903

Woods Limited, Ottawa, make a specialty of over-
alls, top shirts, driving pants, underwear, shoes, hats,
moccasins, etc.

MEDICAL SUPPLIES.

Immense quantities of medical supplies are used in
the camps every season, both for man and beast. For
many years Johnston & Company, of Collingwood,
Ontario, have held the bulk of this vast trade, solely
by reason of the superior quality of their liniments and
remedies.

CAMP STOVES.

Considerable difficulty has been experienced by lum-
bermen in securing a stove suitable for the varied
needs and hard usage to which such are subjected. In
our columns will be found the very best that is pro-
duced, either in Canada or the United States, in this line.

Adam Hall, of Peterboro, is a pioneer in the matter
of lumbermen’s stoves. We will give a fuller descrip-
tion next month of their excellent makes.

The Gurney Foundry Company have for years been
putting out a superior stuve that has been pronounced
as perfect.

We give in another column a description of the Wis-
consin stove made by the Watson Bros., of Marinette,
Wis. This portable stove will be seen in Canada for
the first time this year.

GENERAL SUPPLIES.

In the matter of tents, waterproof horse and wagon
covers, the J. J. Turner & Sons Company, of Peterboro,
rank high. They also manufacture feed bags, coal
bags and waterproof goods of every description.
Lumbermen should send for their catalogue “A”.

Morley Bros., Saginaw, Mich., are manufacturers
anda dealers in general supplies, including harness, etc.

Woods Limited, Ottawa, also make tents and tar-
paulins.

Attention is drawn to the advertisement of H. F.
Falkner, Toronto, in this issue. His horse blankets,
horse covers, sweat pads, collar pads, etc., are the
finest in the market. He manufactures his own ma-
terial and this enables him to secure the trade. He is
also a dealer in curry combs, brushes etc.

In one of the camps a motto ‘‘What is Home Without
a Mother?” was changed to ‘‘What is Camp Without
Tobacco ?” The American Tobacco Company have a
great trade with the lumber camps and supply houses.

Of course the horse must be fed, and if you want to
get the very best at the lowest quotations send to W.
H. Dwyer & Company, Ltd., of Ottawa. They make
a specialty of hay, oats etc. )

The Dominion Molasses Company, of Halifax, N. S.,
can supply molasses that is molasses—pure, clean and
the real genuine Barbadoes, such as the boys in the
woods like.

For flour, pot barley, oatmeal etc., every lumber-
man should get quotations from Walter Thomson &
Son, of London, Ontario, before placing a single order.
Their product ranks as high as any in the world, and
superior to many. :

For the varied uses in the camp, such as marking
clothing, blankets, etc., stamps are required. These
can be furnished by the C. G. Young Company, corner
Yonge and Adelaide streets, Toronto, who make rub-
ber stamps of every description for all sorts of require-
ments, steel dies for marking or branding logs or lum-
ber, and brass stencils for boxes, barrels, etc.

Many large lumbering firms complain of petty thefts
and piltering of their supplies every year. One com-
pany place their loss at many hundreds of dollars each
year, whilst another said they calculated on a loss of
ten percent. Itis not necessary for these losses if
any care at all is given to the supplies. Noble’s Dom-
inion Detective Agency, of Toronto, supply men to go
with the supplies or to go into the camps and prevert
these enormous losses at very small cost. This agency
is the very best of its kind and we can confidently
recommend them to all lumbermen requiring faithful
and efficient service in preventing the loss of supplies.

NEW CENTURY NETTING

The Latest and Best

1. It is stronger than any other netting.

2. It is easily erected and makes a fine appear-
ance.

3. Less posts are required than for other nettings.

CAMP SUPPLIES

We have for years made a specialty of Lumbermen’s Camp Supplics,
~ @@ including everything required in the Grocery and Provision line. We have been
successful in supplying goods in quality and at prices which almost invariably bring
repeat orders, for is it not the fact that quality of goods is required now, more than
f at any other period in the history of the industry. We are usually in a position to

NEW HUDSON BAY KNITTING COMPANY
FACTORY.

The accompanying illustration represents the
new factory of the Hudson Bay Knitting Com-
pany in Montreal. Generally speaking the
building in which a business is conducted is
not so interesting or so important to the cus-
tomers of the house as the principles upon
which the business itself is conducted.

The policy upon which the Hudson Bay
Knitting Company has developed from a very
small beginning to the present large proportion
is one that commends itself to every live re-
tailer in Canada who handles goods which the
company manufacture. They make all kinds
of warm clothing, caps,'lumbermen’s coats,lum-

over their competitors, who usually turn up
next season with the same things. In the
meantime the Hudson Bay Knitting Company
has developed new ones, as they always keep
a season ahead in theirlead. They have recent-
ly decided to push the lumbering trade vigor-
ously and for that purpose have developed
a large number of lines specially adapted for
the lumbering trade. Readers of THE LUMBER-
MAN interested in the supply business may find
it profitable to look over their two page ad. in
the front part of this number.

HAND CUT FILES AND RASPS.

The largest hand-cutting file works in the United
States is situated at Columbus, Ohio, operated by the

PERSONAL. |

The death occurred recently of Mr. James H. Belton,
ot London, Ont. Mr. Belton, who was in his eighty-
first year, had been engaged in the lumber business for
forty years.

Mr. Aubrey White, Assistant Commissioner of Crown
Lands, Toronto, received many congratulations last
month upon the occasion of the fifty-eighth anniver-
sary of his birthday.

Mr. N. A. Gladding, vice-president and secretary os
E. C. Atkins & Company, saw and tool manufacturers,
Indianapolis, Indiana, has been appointed as one of the
comissioners from Indiana to the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition and World’s Fair, to be held in St. Louis,
1904.

It is understood that Mr. John Bertram, of Toronto,
president of the Collin’s Inlet Lumber Company, will be
appointed a member of the Government Commission on

bermen’s socks, mitts and gloves and under-
wear in avery large variety. It is less than fif-
teen years since this business was started in one
room, and during that time the company has
been obliged to move and extend its premises
half a dozen times, the factory here illustrated
now being their new premises. Mr. J. J. West-
gate, president and manager of the company,
is the moving spirit of the concern, and it is
largely due to his foresight and progressiveness
that the business has grown to its present
unique position. It is unique in the fact that
none of its competitors ever succeed in catching
up with the lines put out by the Hudson Bay
Knitting Company. Always originating some-
thing new, always introducing improvements,
carefully watching the trend of popular demand,
their goods always show points of superiority

Reynolds Brothers, and known as the Buckeye Saw
Mfg. Company. They also manufacture all kinds of
circular saws, sending them to all parts of the conti-
nent. Their celebrated hand-cut files are world re-
nowned and are made in all sizes and shapes from 1
inch to 50 inches. When our representative called, he
was shown over a veritable bee-hive of industry, and
the processes from crude steel to the finished article were
seen in course of manufacture. Alongside of the
dainty little jewellers’ file was placed an enormous
special hot file which weighed fully 80 Ibs., and des-
tined to be handled by two men. Send for this firm’s
catalogue of saws and files.

James McNair, of Vancouver, B.C., has purchased
another mill site at that place.

We are told that ‘‘ one of the most extensive users of
band resaws in the United States, resawing pine, has
found 1% inch spacing, % pitch, and tooth 3% inch
long, the best specification for 6 inch saws, and this
spacing preferable to 134.”

Transportation Problems. Mr. Bertram has been deep
ly interested for many years in the transportation and
ship-building interests, and is president of the Bertram
Engine Company, of Toronto.

The most convenient stove ever constructed
for use in the Woods, onthe Drive, in the
Camps. Bakes as perfectly as the finest
range.

Read What Experienced Woodsmen Say of it:

“We used your Portable Woods Baker all last season
with a crew of men in the woods, travelling from
place to place. We found it convenient to handle
and the best steel range cannot beat it in baking.
Itisa perfect baking oven and a success in every
way.
The cooking is not affected by rain or weather and
can be used outdoors or in a tent,”
Yours truly,
MENOMINEE RIVER Boom Co.,
Per Wm. H. Stephenson, Gen’l Supt

We make these stoves in three sizes. Our No. 10
will cook for ten men; our No. 20for twenty men,
and No. 50 for from fifty to one hundred persons.

We want those interested in a stove of this kind to

Horse Sense

Could be taken to mean Common Sense in the treatment of your horses, All Lumbermen depend largely on the
efficiency of their horses. This can easily be maintained if

Johnson’s Veterinary Remedies

are used.

The following valuable preparations have been largely in use amongst the Lumbermen of the Dominion for years. They are put up
in bulk and are therefore more economical than similar lines, as the cost of packages, bottling, etc., etc., is saved:

Johnson’s Horse Colic Remedy

An absolutely safe and quick remedy for Colic of all kinds, $5.00 per
Imp. gallon.

Johnson’s Horse Liniment No. 1
A penetrating Alcoholic Liniment for Sprains, Strains, Bruises,
Swellings, Lameness, Curbs, Splints, etc., etc., $4.50 per Imp. gallon.
Johnson’s Veterinary Healing Ointment

Positively the best all round Healing preparation on the market for
Cuts, Corks, Sore Shoulders, Wounds Galls, Scratches, etc., etc.,
$2.25 per 2 pound tin. Put up in 4 ounce tins if preferred.

Johnson’s Horse Liniment No. 2

An excellent Oil Liniment for the same purposes, $3.00 per gallon.

Ten per cent. discount off orders amounting to $50.00 or upwards. A full stock of all Drugs and Patent Medicines kept always on
hand and at lowest wholesale rates. Correspondence solicited. Orders by mail receive special attention. Let me figure on your

E. B. HAYES MACHINE CO., Oshkosh, Wis.

When a new and improved machine that has great
merit in it like this one, is put onto the market,
often times other machinery manufacturers will recog-
vize the fact that it will be a good seller and they will
try and start in to copy, of course providing they can do
it. We expect it may be the case with this machine,
but we know that all the mill men purchasing machines
will want the Origina?!, for many mill men in the past
have met with great disappointment in buying copied
machines. Write for full information.

eae THE TWENTIETH CENTURY SAW

Cur Chisel-Tooth Saw is adapted to all kinds and conditions of
Sawing, and does equally well in hard or soft woods, winter or summer,
large or small mills.

It increases the output of the mill, requires less power and makes
better lumber at less cost than any other saw.

Improved Gang Lath Machine

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN- 3

This machine is entirely self contained—
does not require a counter-shaft and pulley to
drive the feed from.

It has a solid iron frame. The feed rolls are
milled from solid steel bar and case hardened.
In fact the machine is constructed of the best
material ‘throughout. Carries four 12 inch
saws and will do fully as much work as any
other machine made for the same purpose.

in the Dominion of Canada.

There is no process its equal for tempering circular saws. Other makers recognize this fact, as some of

them, in order to sell their goods, claim to have the same process. All such Claims are FALSE, as the
patentee in the U. S. and ourselves are the only firms in the world who use it.

Notice the improved shank. We call particular
attention to the swell which strengthens it at the weakest

The feed rolls are adjustable in FOUR directions, which means absolute accuracy.
The saws may be removed easily and quickly, without disturbing the arbor.
The mechanism for shifting the saws is up-to-date, convenient and positive.
The vital parts are carried by a substantial iron husk resting solidly on the floor.
They are pre-eminently practical.
There is no edger made approaching them in cheapness.

With this trimmer one man can easily trim the output of a mill cutting up to 30,000 ft. in ten hours.

The shifting crank being secured to one of the chain carriers, the operator shifts the saws as he
walks toward the board to be trimmed, thus performing two operations simultaneously. This saves
time.

There are two feeds, easily and quickly stagted, stopped or changed, without stopping the saws

MAGNIFICENT NEW MILLS OF THE PACIFIC
COAST LUMBER COMPANY.

The shareholders of the Pacific Coast Lumber
Company include several well-known and suc-
cessful Ontario lumbermen, Mr. W. J. Shep-
pard, of Waubaushene, being president, and
Mr. J. G. Scott, of Vancouver, vice-president
and general manager. Thus when it was an-
nounced, a little more than one year ago, that
the company had decided to establish mills at
Vancouver, it was taken for granted that an
establishment of immense proportions and up-
to-date in character would be built. That the
anticip. tons of the public in this respect have
been realized is proven beyond a doubt by the
splendid illustrations of the completed mills
which we are enabled to present in this number.

last. Work proceeded without any fuss or
feathers, newspaper publicity was neither sought
nor encouraged, the management preferring to
let finished results speak for themselves. Prac-
tical men concede that the whole plant presents
as strong a combination of good points, with
special consideration to economical manufac-
ture, as any saw mill in the west. There are
many larger mills, but none more thoroughly
up-to-date.

The saw mill occupies the east side of the
company’s properly and is 60 x 300 feet, two
stories in height. The big log haul-up is of the
Wm. Hamilton Company pattern, is composed
of 134-inch chain with cast steel brackets fast
ened at intervals thereon, and is capable of hand-
ling the largest logs with the greatest ease.

out to the timber delivery end of the mill.

No back-breaking, man-killing jobs are to
be found in the whole mill, levers that a child
can manipulate are operated and men’s brains
and steam power called into action. At the
tail end of the edger the edgings and slabs are
dropped on the floor of the mill and are carried
by more transfer chains over to the slab
smasher saws, where they are cut up into four-
foot lengths and dropped into a conveyor which
passes along on the outside of the mill.

From the edger the lumber is carried on
live rollers to a camel back transfer and
across the mill to the trimmer saws, where it is

PaciFic CoAst LUMBER COMPANY, VANCOUVER, B. C.—GENERAL VIEW OF NEW MILss.

The site is on Coal Harbor, a sheltered little
bay at the west end of Vancouver’s Harbor,
admirably adapted for the purposes of a saw-
milling establishment. Excellent facilities are
provided for shipment by rail or water.
The location immediately adjoins the westerly
end of the Canadian Pacific Railway terminus,
and a short extension of the main line on to the
property of the company affords rail shipment,
while the Empress liners and all water traffic
pass within a hundred yards of the mill.
Construction work was begun in January,

On the upper floor of the planing mill, which
is on a level with the sawing floor of the saw

the railway car or storage shed as may be

log haul-up rig, a powerful drag saw, built to
special order by the Albion Iron Works, Van-

shingle bolt conveyor and cut-off rig. Either
logs or shingle bolts are used. From this end
the blocks are conveyed upstairs to the shingle
machines, which were made by the Schaake

these machines the finished shingles drop into
bins, where they are sorted as to grades and
bunched by a carefully trained corps of packers.

This building is composed of as non combusti-
ble material as possible, the sides and roof be-
ing covered with heavy corrugated iron and the
floor being a heavy bed of concrete, while
underneath the whole of the boilers a complete
circulation of air is provided by means of rows
of s'x-inch drain tile, set in concrete. A battery
of eight boilers has Feen installed, each being
16 feet long and 66 inches in diameter.

The saw mill is driven by a pair of 24 x 30
vertical engines, the planing mill by a pair of

“14 x 20 horizontal engines, and the shingle mill

by a 20 x 24 vertical engine, all being set up on
concrete pier foundations. For the purpose of
lighting the whole plant, a 750-light direct
current dynamo, made by the Canadian General
Electric Company, has been installed. This
machine is driven by a 12 x 12 Robb engine,
and both arc and incandescent lights are used.

The Standard Dry Kiln Company furnished
the equipments for the dry kilns. There are
six rooms in all, with space provided for addi-
tion of more should requirements demand en-
larging. In the construction of the dry kiln
buildings the greatest care has been exercised
to make them as nearly non-combustible as
possible. The walls and ceiling are lined with
a plaster composed of cement, asbestos, lime
and sand, the roof being covered with felt and
gravel. Live steam pipes are cariied into each
room for fire extinguishing purposes, and all
steam pipes have been well protected from
wood contact.

In the way of fire-fighting appliances the com-
pany has installed a six-inch water main, ruo-

THE COST OF RETAILING LUMBER.

For the purpose of getting an expression of
opinion ona subject of interest to the retail
trade, I recently propounded this question to a
number of retail yard men: ‘‘ What is the

him anything. Our experience in various —
yards demonstrates very thoroughly that there "
is no way of determining the actual cost per
thousand feet of handling lumber. It depends
entirely upon circumstances and the location of
the yard. Unless the utmost care is taken and
a perfect system inaugurated, many items of
expenses are incurred throughout the year
which do not appear on any of the books kept
by a retail lumberman. This keeps the dealer
ignorant as to what his total expenses are
until he takes his inventory at the end of the
year, and then he finds to his sorrow that his
profits have been materially cut down by these —
miscellaneous expenses. I have known cases
where the total expense of handling and selling
lumber in a yard footed up to $3 a thousand,

very few retailers who have any knowledge of
the actual expense of handling a car load of
lumber, nor are they in a position to tell what
is the actual expense per thousand feet on the
lumber they handle during the year. Where
they have no teams o their own many dealers
make contracts with some concern to unload,

amounts to. Others who attempt to do the
work themselves often arrive at a wrong con-
clusion. One‘dealer actually told me that he
could handle his lumber for twenty-five cents a

the cost of loading the lumber from the car

SETTLEMENT OF CROWN LANDS.
House or COMMONS, OTTAWA, May 2, 1903.
Editor CANADA LUMBERMAN :

DEAR Sir,—I take the liberty of bringing before
your readers a few ideas I have held for some time. I
shall be pleased to find that some improvements may
be made to the present laws now in force regarding the
settlement of the Crown lands of the Province of On-
tario. I believe the rule of the provinces of Canada is
to lay great stress upon the matter of free homesteads
or cheap homesteads, and Ontario has not been behind
in its offerings of large privileges in this way.

For the especial benefit of the settler, all of the tim-
ber, other than pine ana spruce, has been reserved for
the settler subject to limitations regarding settlement
duties.

The principal enactments of importance to the settler
are: That he must live upon his land a certain number
of years, do certain improvements under a number of
conditions, and when, on the part of the settler, these
conditions have been fulfilled he becomes owner of
the grant. This all sounds very fair and generous and
I may even go so far asto termit paternal. Right
here is where I have considered the fabric weak and
inefficient for the purpose which the liberality of the
grant is intended to serve. Presuming that settlement
and development of the vacant lands of Ontario is the
desired object of the province, the matter may reason-
ably be considered from the standpoint of the success
of the present laws in achieving that object.

So far, after very many years of experience with the
present laws, settlement has been extremely slow in
the Ontario wild lands where the timber is heavy. For
the purpose of my statements I will assume that a
colony of, say, ten settlers, take up hardwood timbered
lands, and ten settlers at any one point is fully above
the average settlements in embryo. In moving upon
their lots the question of existence is a matter of im-
portance if they have little money or means of subsist-
ence, and people of means asa rule do not go into
bush lots these days. They are confronted with the
regulations of the Crown Lands Department at once,
when a clearing is begun, because there is no market
for their timber near by, and as they are on hardwood
lots their timber will not float. For the purposes of the
first clearing, the timber, after cutting, is burnt, and
without a market to buy their timber the process is re-
peated year after year. Just at this stage in the his-
tory of many such new settlements is where a difficulty
comes in. Withoyt capital to live upon and with very
limited means to start upon, with but a very limited
clearing the first or second year to produce means of
subsistence, very many of the settlers first going into
a new district are obliged to abandon their lots and go
out to work in employments which will enable them to
live, losing their time and what little savings they may
have started with, and leaving their holdings to be
taken up by others who may start upon their wrecked
hopes and abandoned clearings.

I will not pursue this thought further, as it/is so well
known, but will suggest, roughly, a remedy: As the
greatest obstacle the settler has to contend against is
the timber upon his lot, which he cannot sell nor give

away, but which must be removed before he can live
upon his land, a market for this timber should be sought
for first, and turn to value what is now condemned to
be burnt after time and labor has been wasted upon
doing so, to the injury of both the would-be settler and
the country at large as well as in particular.

In the case of a township surveyed into concessions
running say east and west, reserve say the south half
of one concession and the north half of the adjoining
one, and open to hardwood mill men these half con-
cessions for the sale of the timber upon them, say at
stumpage values, and if advisable, divide each town-
ship into two, three or four such berths, so as to not
allow too large a territory to be tied up or held inactive
by mill owners. Hardwood mills are necessarily small
and 9g, 12, or 18 square miles of hardwoods in a well
wooded section will supply all the timber such mills can
cut for years. The mills will go in concurrently with,
or in advance of the settlers, will be an immediate
tnarket for the timber upon the other half of the lots
reserved for the settlers, will take off the timber, allow-
ing settlers easier clearing upon the sections the timber
has been sold from, and then the paternal disposition of
the government may show itself in two ways—either
hand to the settler the money received by the govern-
ment as dues for the timber so sold or use these moneys
to build roads, bridges, etc., through the section or
township. A mill must have employees (who will
largely become settlers), a community will bring a
store and post office and artisans, and the growth of
the district will soon develop a village.

I feel that by this method what is now bound to be
destroyed will be utilized, the mill owner will be an
active fire ranger, the co-operative method will assure
better and quicker results in settling the country, no
loss can come to any of the interested parties, and the
government will save the country generally and the
district particularly what would and is to-day and has
been in the past destroyed by fire.

With these simple outlines 1 will reserve further
words for more definite details if necessary.

Yours truly,
Jee. SCHELL.

CARBOLINEUM TREATMENT OF TIMBER.

The Dominion Paving and Contracting Company, of
Toronto, is erecting a large building and plant in Van-
couver, B. C., for the treatment of piles, ruilway ties,
paving blocks, etc., with carbolineum. The works,
which are now in course of erection, are situated on
Coal Harbor, at the junction of Georgia and Denman
streets. The property has a water frontage of 330 feet,
and occupies a piece of ground several acres in extent.
The work the company purposes carrying on is not the
manufacture of carbolineum, but the treatment of woods
with this composition, wharf piles, railway ties, street
paving blocks, etc., and it is hoped that the already
large domestic and foreign trade in some of the manu-
factured products of the British Columbia forests may
be increased as a result of the establishment of this in-
dustry. Carbolineum is already extensively used on
the coast for the preservation of timber. The process
considerably lengthens the life of a pile, railway tie or
other timber. Unlike creosoting and some other meth-
ods of treatment, it does not destroy the firmness or
exhaust the wood by extracting or dissolving the sol
uble albuminous gums, resin, etc. The carbolineum
treatment, it is claimed, coagulates all these gums into
insolubility and thus prevents the tendency to rot. The
treatment also prevents expansion and contraction un-
der varying temperature and moisture. It so impreg-
nates the wood that it becomes entirely uninhabitable
to worms or the lower orders of animal life which are so
destructive to woods, animatculae, fungi and other
forms of lower life being destroyed or kept at a dis-
tance by it. Mice and rats and even horses refuse to
gnaw wood so treated. -

FACTS ABOUT SHINGLES.

When about ten years ago the first vigorous
steps were taken to introduce the red cedar
shingle of the Pacific Coast into the eastern
markets, there was much speculation as to the
effect which the success of such a movement
might have upon the white pine variety. At
that time the advantage in the matter of price
was with the red cedar shingle.
to the coast manufacturers to state that the re-
ception which their product received was favor-
able, while with equal truth it may be said that
the white pine shingle has lost little, if any, of
its popularity. Natural conditions have brought
about a very different situation than that which
prevailed ten years ago.

The time chosen by the red cedar manufac-

opportune. Many white pine lumbermen had
been nursing a conviction that timber was be-

years went by, one manufacturer after another

devoting their attention largely to the Pacific .

Coast product, which is fast monopolizing not
only the Ontario trade, but that of the Eastern
States also. Inthe latter territory the white
cedar shingle of eastern Quebec and New Bruns-
wick is an element of competition to which con-
sideration must be given. Being slightly cheap-

- er than the western product, it finds many cus-

tomers, particularly as the standard shingle now
manufactured is vastly superior to that of a few
years ago. Having a great advantage in freight
rates, the manufacturers of the white cedar
should be able to pretty well hold the market
in near-by territory.

It will be seen that the producers of white
pine shingles have gradually abandoned the
market, not as the result of competition from
other varieties, but because better returns
could be obtained by converting their timber
into lumber.

THE SELLING OF TIMBER.

It would be unwise to claim that the persons
who are in charge of the administration of the
Crown lands of the different provinces of the
Dominion have not a fair knowledge of the

tions as will best meet the present, as well
as the prospective needs of the country,
as far as it is possible to do so. It is not
easy to account, therefore, for certain agree-
ments which have been made by more than one
Government, 0 have
given away valuable timber lands foi a ‘‘mess
of pottage.” Only last month the announce-
ment was made by the British Columbia Govern-
ment that nearly all the timber lands on Van-
couver Island and the coast of that province not
previously taken up had been reserved for real-
ly unknown parties, under the name of the
Island Power Company. At first it was diffi-
cult to grasp the significance of the announce-
ment, which seems a serious blow to the lum-
ber industry. The situation was not improved by
the later report that the company securing the
concession had sold out to an English syndicate.

and which would seem

Notwithstanding claims to the contrary, it is
quite certain that our timber lands are not al-
ways disposed of to the best advantage. More
than one pulp company have secured a greater
area than they were entitled to, and a few lum-
-bermen have profited by the generosity of
governments. The favored few will have no
words of condemnation, but to the majority an
injustice is done. Asa public asset the timber
should be sold to the highest bidder, and an
equal opportunity given to all. Itis a ques-
tion whether the disposal of pulp wood lands
by auction, although presenting some disad-
vantages, would not after all be found to be
the most equitable plan. :

A policy which seems to have been adopted
by the Quebec Government is to give but scant
publicity to proposed public sales of timber
limits. Although one of such sales is to take
place about the middle of this month, there
was not, so far as can be learned, until a few
days ago, any public announcement of the fact
outside of the city of Quebec. It is difficult to
imagine how the Government hopes to thus se-
cure that degree of competition which would

result in obtaining the best possible prices for
the timber. If that result is not desired, the
course followed can be understood.

Since the above was written, a modest look-
ing notice has been published in the British
Columbia Gazette cancelling the reservation of |
timber on behalf of the Island Power Company,
on the ground that the reserve was six hundred

square miles more than it was intended to have
been.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

At time of writing forest fires are raging on
all sides. Already the damage to standing
timber and to a number of settlements has
been heavy, but it is feared that the worst is
not yet past. Undoubtedly the extreme
drouth which has prevailed throughout almost
the entire Dominion is the chief cause for the
large number of fires. As the property of many
individuals, particularly in Quebec and New
Brunswick, has suffered, it is probable that it
may lead to a public awakening to the neces-
sity of more adequately protecting the forests
from fire. The public has in the past been too
careless about the setting of fires, and while
commendable measures have been taken by
the different governments to prevent their
origin and spread, these measures have in a

_ large degree been frustrated by the indifference

and apathy of the public towards forest pro-
tection. When their personal effects become
endangered, however, a change of disposition
may be looked for.

The manufacturer is being severely con-
demned for the prevailing high prices of lumber,
which, in the opinion of the layman, are large-
ly the result of a desire to increase profits at
the expense of the consumer. If due considera-
tion were given to the conditions affecting the
price of lumber, however, it would be found
that the manufacturer is deserving of no such
censure. Apart from the added expense of tim-
ber, camp supplies, machinery, etc., the ex-
penditure in wages alone to produce one thou-
sand feet of lumber has almost doubled within

six years. This is shown by the following
table, compiled by the secretary of the Missis-
sippi Valley Lumbermen’s Association. The
figures given are the monthly wages paid the
employees of the camps in Minnesota and
Wisconsin :

The conditions in Minnesota and Wisconsin
are much the same as those which exist in the
white pine districts of Ontario.

The Canadian buyer of lumber is more
generously dealt with in respect to terms of
sale than is his confrere in the United States.
As recently pointed out in these columns the
terms allowed are two percent. off for pay-
ment within fifteen days, or the face value of
the invoice within three months. In the
Eastern States 1% per cent. discount is allowed
for settlement within fifteen days, one per cent.

CUTTING AND FLOATING OAK.

Our contemporary, the Southern Lumber-
man, publishes the views of several persons on
the subject of whether or not it will damage
oak timber to cut it in the spring or early sum-
mer, peel the bark off and let the logs lie out
until the fall or winter, before sawing them up.
While there is some difference of opinion
expressed, the replies are in the main unfavor-
able to the assumption that the logs can be
carried over summer profitably. Discoloration
and worms are given as possible sources of
damage. One correspondent states that the
removal of the bark frequently prevents worms
getting into the logs, although it would scarcely
pay totemovethe bark. The policy of another
firm is to cut the timber in the fall and scalp it,
refraining from putting it in the water until it
has been cut and on the bank sixty days. It is
claimed that 99 per cent. of oak will float after
being prepared in this way. If it is cut in the
winter and hauled in green with the bark on,
about one-half or two-thirds of it will ‘sink.
Timber cut in June or July and peeled will float,
but is likely to check.

THE AUSTRALIAN LUMBER TRADE.

In his last report to the Department of Trade
and Commerce, Mr. J. S. Larke, Canadian
Commissioner at Sydney, New South Wales,
says of timber :

“Notwithstanding the drouth building oper-
ations have been brisk and the demand for
timber good. British Columbia fir, known
here as ‘Oregon,’ is now $14 at the mill, in-
stead of $7.50 at which it was once sold.
sold largely for doors,
sashes and inside work, has advanced nearly
33% per cent. in a year and is quoted at $24
at the mill. Every now and then it has been
proposed to introduce cedar and some of the
cheaper timbers of British Columbia into this

but no determined effort has been
The market in timbers, as well as in
other lines, is conservative and no demand for
a new timber can be created in a day. The
high prices now ruling afford an opportunity
to introduce the ‘Canadian that may not occur
again for a decade.

“One of the timbers practically unknown
here is the hemlock, and in connection with
the cutting of that timber there would be a
market for the extract of the bark. There isa
prejudice against hemlock-tanned leather main-
ly on account of its colour and some poor
samples of that tannage that have been offered
on this market. Wattle, which is the Austra-
lian bark used for tannage, has gone up in

‘price and as a result there is a demand for a

cheaper tanning material. This demand is
likely to continue for some time, as the drouth
has killed a good many wattle trees and stop-
ped the growth of more,”

. ered the lumber centre of the Province.

Few persons know more of the early history
of lumbering in Ontario than Mr. Thomas
Shortiss, an old Torontonian. He relates that
fifty years ago the township of King was consid-
In 1853
Mr. Shortiss built a saw mill just above Barrie,
on the Northern Railway. It had a capacity
of 75,000 feet per 24 hours and in those days
was considered a very large mill. He was the
first person to ship lumber from Ontario to
Chicago. He is now not actively engaged in
the lumber business, although interested in
timber limits. It is the opinion of Mr. Shortiss
that very few people have become rich by saw-
milling operations, but that most of the wealth
now represented by lumbermen is the result of

investment in timber limits.

Would it not be possible to increase our ex-
ports of turned hardwood stock to Great
Britain if we more nearly met the requirements
of that market? This is a matter that is
worthy of consideration. One who is largely
interested in this trade states, for instance,
that the English buyer is very particular about
the design of broom handles, for which there
is a large market there. They require a handle
grooved about two inches from the top and
with a bead running around. The ordinary
Canadian broom handle would be called a mop
handle in England. Great care should also be
taken in the shipment of such stock. We
know of an entire consignment of broom
handles which was rejected on account of the
bundles having been tied with a tar band,
causing a mark which could not be removed.

It is impossible to manufacture basswood in
certain seasons without its being seriously dis-
colored with sap stain. For this reason much
of this wood is manufactured in the winter and
even then a large per cent. of it blues. Soft
elm occasionally has this defect, but it is very
seldom found in oak or maple. Some of the
sap in birch decays, but it leaves white spots
and. very soon rots. Hemlock has very little
sap and so escapes the defect. Doubtless
climatic conditions have much to do in bringing
The other day
a manufacturer in speaking of the subject said:
‘Whenever a rain storm occurs followed by
hot, sultry weather, lumber that is freshly piled
is almost certain to become badly stained. I
have known cases where lumber has been
taken from the saw, loaded in the hold of a
vessel and 24 hours afterwards had quite a
This
was doubtless caused by the stifling, hot atmos-
phere down in the bottom of the vessel. We
find that one board seems to discolor another,
but generally it is not seriously injured except
where it comes in contact in cross piling.
Many of the manufactures have adopted the

practice of using hemlock on this account.”

Gatineau river, he tells this story of a shanty-
man who had spent a couple of seasons work-
ing for him in the bush, and was coming out
again shortly after the death of Queen Victoria.

At Maniwaki the shantyman made his’ first
stop on the way down, and in a chat with the
hotelkeeper asked what was the news since he
had gone in the woods.

‘Oh, there’s nothing much new. I s’pose
you heard up there that the Queen was dead?”

Hemlock is now having its innings. The
price of white pine has reached the point where
substitutes are sought after, and for many pur-
poses hemlock fills the bill. The mills in the
Parry Sound district are this season sawing
a very large quantity of hemlock logs, largely
into dimension timber. Hemlock lath is also
growing in favor, although the price seems to
be too close to that of pine to warrant its use
to any large extent. Concerning the relative
merits of white pine and hemlock lath the
Mississippi Valley Lumberman says: ‘‘White
pine is particularly well adapted for lath for
the reason that it is not inclined to warp and
does not shrink and swell abnormally. In ad-
dition to these well known merits there is a
well grounded preterence in the minds of prac-
tically all builders and consumers favorable to
white pine lath. The numerous substitutes
which have been put on the market from time
to time have accordingly had to be sold at a
substantial
prices.”

reduction from the white ‘pine
The question has been asked whether
there is any money in manufacturing hemlock
lath from standing timber. It is extremely
doubtful that this could be done to advantage,
as it is now a recognized policy to manufacture
lath only from that portion of the tree which
would otherwise be wasted.

DOMINION TIMBER LICENSES.

The regulations regarding timber licenses in
Manitoba, the Northwest and the railway belt
of British Columbia have been amended so as to
make it clear that the licensee complying with
the conditions is entitled to a yearly renewal
while merchantable timber remains upon the
area.

The Virden Lumber & Hardware Company, with
offices at Brandon and Virden, Man., have changed
their name to the Manitoba Hardware & Lumber
Company.

During the eight months ending with February the
United States imported nearly fifty per cent. more un-
manufactured wood than during the corresponding
eight months of the previous year.’ As represented in
dollars the figures were $10,232,745 and $15,206,827.

NEW COMBINATIONLATH MILL AND BOLTER

Although there have been many combination lath
mills and bolters put on the market the last few years,
the exacting conditions of the lath industry soon rele-
gated many of them to a place in the background. It is
claimed that not until the advent of the machine which
is the subject of this sketch, has any manufacturer been
successful in designing a machine which was strong
and cheap enough to fill the conditions. This machine,
however, meets all the requirements and has proven to
be a favorite with the lath manufacturer from the start.

The machine consists of a one-saw bolter and a three-
saw lath mill mounted on one table with strong iron legs.

business in general to some extent. Lo-
cal dealers are not altogether satisfied
with the volume of trade, claiming that
orders have fallen off for both local con-
sumption and for export to the Eastern
States. An evidence that the market is
well in hand, however, is found in the fact
that prices have not weakened. This can no
doubt be attributed to the large propor-
tion of the season’s cut that was contract-
ed for early in the season. Mill men are
in the fortunate position of being protect-
ed in large measure from declining prices
by means of early contrac’s. Hardwood
lumber is equally as firm as pine, and by
many it is reported that the buying of it
is of a better character. Hemlock remains
steady. There is a heavy demand for inch
stock, which is selling in sume cases fully
one dollar higher than 2-inch. Most of the
mills are asking about $12 for 1o and.12
inch boards up to 16 feet in length.

Shingles and lath are practically un-
changed in price. The demand for hem-
lock lath is growing. Mill prices are $2.50
for No.1 and $2 for No.2.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Prospects in lumber circles ic the east-
ern provinces are rather discouraging.
The recent drought has been the cause of
several forest fires which have destroyed
both timber and mills, while the water in
the rivers isso lowthat many logs are
likely to be hung up. For this reason the
supply of lumber will be greatly reduced
and probably inadequete to meet the de-
mand. Scarcity of logs has already re-
sulted in the closing down, temporarily, of
several large mills at St. John. Higher
prices for timber, therefore, may be anti-
cipated. Many manufacturers have placed
their entire cut under contract, and are
now compelled to-refuse orders. Inquiries
for both lumber and shiugles are increas-

ing in number. No change is reported in

~the price of New Brunswick cedar shingles,

although the manufacturers who practi-
cally control the market are said to be in
favor of making an advance.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Building activity in Winnipeg shows no
abatement, and throughout the entire
North-West there is a good demand for
lumber. Importations from the United
States are increasing. This is, having a
slight effect upon prices, especially of
shingles. The British Columbia Shingle
Manufacturers’ Association have decided
to curtail the output by closing down the
night shift at all the mills, and it is said
that some of the mills will voluntarily close
down entirely until the present supply is
reduced. Orders for British Columbia
lumber continue in fair volume and large
shipments are being made to the east.

UNITED STATES.

Floods throughout the South-Western
States have resulted in much damage to
property and blighted lumber prospects.
In-the east the labor situation has not im-

DOBELL, BECKETT & 60.,

RICHARD R. DOBELL & CO.,

-- 440-Cannon Street, E. C.

proved materially, although rumors have
been current for some time that an early
settlement of the New York building
trades strike would be brought about.
The lumber market is quiet, principally
due to the conditions named above. One
or two grades are said to be slightly
weaker in price, but firmness characterizes
the general market. There has been
heavy buying of boxlumber. In the Lake
Superior district No. 4 and 5 boards are
selling readily at $11.25 and $6 to $6.25
per thousand, with the demand in excess
of the supply. Norway lumber is in the
same position. It is claimed that the sup-
ply will not be sufficient to meet the re-
quirements. Hemlock continues to show
unusual strength. At Buffalo it is selling
at $16 to $18, and in New Jersey State
the price has been advanced to $17 to
correspond with the New York quotation.

The hardwood trade continues in excel-

_lent condition and seems to have been

little affected by labor troubles. Prices
are very strong, and stocks are not ac-
cumulating to any extent. It is believed
that there will be a very small supply with
which to meet the fall and winter demand.
Shingle prices have been unsettled by
the continued weakness of red cedars.
These are selling thirty cents lower than
at the corresponding time last year. It is
unreasonable to expect that other grades
will more than hold their own so long as
red cedar prices continue demoralized.

GREAT BRITAIN.

An improved tone is manifest in the
British timber market. The consumption
is about equal to that. of last year, and if
the import should be light, as is now pre-
dicted, a further improvement would seem
to be in order. The strike in the ship-
building trade at Belfast has been averted
for the present. Importers are adding to
their stocks whenever they can obtain
even aslight concession in price, and a
few are even acceding to the demands of
shippers. The latter are not likely, in
view of the lessened production, to reduce
their asking prices. The first cargoes of
Canadian pine deals have arrived at Liver-
pool and London, largely on contract.
There has been no change in the position
of spruce deals. The report from Belfast
that prices are somewhat lower is not con-
firmed by information from other points.
Elm timber is showing strength. A quan-
tity from Quebec, 28 to 39 feet in length
and from 12 to 21 inches in diameter,
recently brought £5 15s per load of 50
cubic feet. Ash timber, on the other
hand, is very dull and almost a drug on
the market, the price obtained at recent
public sales being 65s per load.

STOCKS AND PRICES.

The tug ‘‘Pilot’” has been chartered to
tow to Vancouver, B.C., 10,000,000 feet

-The steamer Pandosia is loading deals —
at Miramichi, N. B., for the United King-
dom. The steamer Pydna is loading at
Hopewell Cape, N. B., for Dublin. The
steamer Holmlea sailed from Montreal
last week for Hull, England, with a cargo
of deals.

Two timber berths were sold at the
Crown Lands office, Fredericton, N. B.,
last week as follows: Three square miles
on Emognops River, to Thomas W. Flett,
at $151 per mile; two square miles on Bar-
tholemew’s river, to W. T. Whitehead, at
$30 per mile.

Tenders are invited by the Department
of Interior at Ottawa up to July 8th for a
license to cut timber on Berth No. 1071,
comprising 20 square miles, in the district
of Saskatchewan, also for Berth No. 1072,
comprising fifteen square miles, in the
same district.

Dickie & McGrath, of Tusket, N. S.,
are now loading with lumber the barque
Leviathan, 1,006 tons. The barque Dris-
tig is due to load for Lannelly, Wales ; the
barque Patriarch, 1,221 tons, for Buenos
Ayres; the Ciampa Emilia, for Bristol

Channel, while several others are due to
load later.

Under date of May 23rd Messrs. S. P.
Musson, Son & Company say of the Bar-
badoes lumber market: “There have been
no arrivals since the spruce by ‘‘Ich Dien”
reported in our last. This vessel had about
40,000 feet of second quality spruce, which
we sold at $16.66. There isa fair supply
and no inquiry. In white pine a cargo with
full proportions of second quality would,
we think, meet fair prices. There have
been received a small lot of Spruce Lay-
ing shingles, which were placed at $2.21.”

iv]

AN INSPECTION BUREAU.

The cargo branch of the Pacific Coast Lumber Man-
ufacturers’ Association have organized ihe Pacific
Coast Lumber Inspection Bureau, with one chief and
three deputy chief inspectors. The manufacturers in-
terested in the movement include the Victoria Lumber
& Manufacturing Company, of Chemainus, B. C., and
the British Columbia Mills, Timber & Trading Com-
pany, of Vancouver. The result of the first month's
work of the Bureau was very satisfactory.
mated that fully 95 per cent. of the coast-wise and for-
eign shipments from the Pacific North-West will pass

under the supervision of the Bureau. It is claimed
that forthe past ten years the Jumber manufacturers
have been compelled to stand for reclamations in the
markets of the world, and had absolutely no recourse.
The Bureau's inspectors now reject defective lumber at
the mill, thus saving the cargo trade thousands of dol-
lars annually. It is understood that shippers by rail
are considering the adoption of a similar plan.

It is esti-

OBITUARY.

H. W. TODD.

The death occurred last month, in Liverpool,
England, of H. W. Todd, of the firm of Watson &
Todd, timber merchants, Liverpool, England, with
branches at Ottawa and Montreal. He was 64 years
ofage. Mr. Todd gained his early experience in the
lumber business with Mr. R. A. Watson, of Liverpool,
whom he subsequently joined in business. About
twenty years ago they turned their attention to the
pine deal trade, and since that time have been large
buyers of Canadian lumber. Last year their shipments
from Montreal were upwards of 50,000,000 feet.

WILLI\M RICHARDS.

William Richards, one of the most extensive lumber
operators on the Miramichi river, died at his home in
Boiestown, N. B., on June 1st, after more than a year’s
illness.

Mr. Richards was born in Carcigan, York county,
sixty-eight years ago. He was a son of the late
Daniel Richards, who was a native of Wales. Mr.
Richards had been a large lumber operator for more
than thirty years, a little time on the Nashwaak for
Alex. Gibson, but for many years on the Miramichi.
He also operated a large saw mill at Boiestown.

Six years ago his business was transferred to a
stock company, The Richards Company, Limited, of
which he was president. He was widely known and
mnch respected and a staunch Liberal.

EDMUND HALL.

Edmund Hall, a veteran lawyer and lumberman of
Michigan, died at his home in Detroit on May 17th,
after a very brief illness. Mr. Hall was born at Cayuga,
N. Y., in 1819. He was admitted to the bar in 1847,
practising for a number of years in Detroit, where he
soon took rank as one of the cleverest lawyers in that
section. About thirty years ago his other interests
became so large that he gave up the practise of law
entirely. He was contractor for the building of several
state roads, receiving land scrip in part payment. He
located valuable tracts of white pine in this way and
soon became known as a lumberman.

Mr. Hall’s early lumbering operations were largely
confined to Michigan, his mills being located at Bay
City. When the pine timber in that city gave out he
invested in extensive timber tracts in the Georgian Bay
district. of Ontario, rafting the logs to Bay City.
About three years ago he built a large saw mill at
Sarnia, which is now in operation.

JOHN MACLAREN.

John MacLaren, a prominent citizen of Brockville,
Ont., died at Kamloops, B. C., on May 2g9th from
injuries sustained by being thrown from his horse while
on a hunting trip up the Thompson river, fifty miles
from Kamloops. Mr. MacLaren was spending a short
time in British Columbia in connection with his lumber-
ing operations at Barnet. 3

Deceased occupied a prominent place in business,
social and religious circles in Brockville, where he
resided. He was born at Buckingham, Que., about fifty
years ago, being the son of the late James MacLaren,
a prminent lum»er merchant and former president of
the Bank of Ottawa. As a young man he was associ-
ated with his father in the lumber trade. He spent
several years at New Westminster, B. C., in connec-

tion with his father’s interests and for a time lived at”

Windsor, Ont. In 1892 he removed to Brockville and
purchased the James Hall Glove Works, which he con-
siderably enlarged and operated up to the time of his

death. He was also president of the Canadian Oak

Belting Company, Brockville, and owned a large saw
mill at East Templeton, Que.

Deceased was one of the stalwart members of the
First Presbyterian church in Brockville, and took an
active part in all branches of church work. He was a
warm supporter of healthy athletics and an enthusiastic
curler. In every sense of the word he was a public
spirited citizen, always ready to give a helping hand to
a just cause.

The surviving members of his family are Alexander
and Albert MacLaren, of Buckingham, David Mac-
Laren, vice-president of the Bank of Ottawa, and Mrs.
William Alloway, of Winnipeg.

ALEXANDER FRASER.

The result of an attack of pneumonia extending over
four weeks, Alexander Fraser, the pioneer lumberman
of Ottawa, passed away at his home in that city on June
st, at the age of 73 years.

From the first of his illness it was feared that he might
not recover, owing to the tact that he had not been in
good health for several years, though fora year pre-
vious to his death he had been very well.

The late Alexander Fraser was one of the last of the
square timber pioneer lumbermen of the Ottawa Valley
and was widely and favorably known from the head-
waters of the Ottawa to Quebec.

He was a son of Hugh Fraser, a Higland Scotchman,
a soldier who seryed in the 1812 war and later settled
in Goulbourn, near Ottawa, where Alexander Fraser
was born. Along about 1835, the late Hugh Fraser re-
moved to the township of Pembroke and his son Alex-
ander entered the employ of the late Hiram Chamber-
lain, of Westmeath, as clerk in his lumber supply store.
It was here that he came into contact with the lumber
men and Hudson Bay traders and acquired a taste fo
the life of the woods and river. And when quite a
young man he had already acquired such an expert
knowledge of woods and river craft that he soon be-
came a leader among men on the Ottawa river, and in
1853, at the age of 23, he took out his first raft of square

THE LATE ALEXANDER FRASER.

timber on Black river. As time went on he kept in-
creasing his operations and during the seventies it was
not unusual to see 10 or 12 of his rafts passing down the
river to Quebec His energy was tremendous, and be-
ing a man of great physical strength and also a splen-
did constitution, no amount of application to business
appeared to have any effect on his general health.

Mr. Fraser was possessed of a keen foresight and
sound business judgement and was often by consent
accorded a leading part in the management of large
enterprises in which he was interested. He was one of
the founders of the Bank of Ottawa, The Lachine Rap-
ids Hydraulic Company, The Ottawa Trust and De-
posit Company, and was also largely interested in The
Upper Ottawa Improvement Company, The Keewatin
Lumber Company, and many smaller enterprises.

He was of a very quiet and retiring disposition and
extremely simple and unostentatious in his habits of
life, but possessed of a strong will and great determin-
ation.

His business career was not one of uninterrupted suc-
cess. He had at various times serious losses,sometimes
running into several hundred thousands of dollars, but his
greatest reverses occurred after he had attained a strong
financial standing and was able to bear them easily.

Since the formation of the Fraser Lumber Company
by his sons in 1855, the late Mr. Fraser had not been
actively engaged in lumbering—his time was almost ex-
clusively devoted tothe enterprises in which he was
interested outside of the lumber business.

His business relations, extending over nearly half a
century, with such firms as Sharples, Dobell Beckett,
Burstall, and McArthurs, were always of the pleasantest

nature,and it was with these people that the great bulk
of his business was done. His estate is estimated at
between three and four millions.

He leaves surviving, his widow, three daughters,
Mrs. Daw, Mrs. Fee, and Miss Madge Fraser, and
two sons, J. B. and W. H. A.

The funeral of the deceased was very largely attend-
ed. Among the prominent lumbermen present were
the following : Hon. E. H. Bronson, Messrs. R. Beck-
ett, F. P. Bronson, Peter Whelan, Edward Skead, Levi
Crannell, J. G. Bryson, Charles McLaren, J. R. Booth,
C. J. Booth, G. B. Greene, W. C. Hughson, James G.

Pembroke; David Gillies, George Gillies, Braeside ;
Robert MacLaren, Buckingham ; Norman McCuaig,

WILLIAM MOHR.

William Mohr, a prominent figure in the early lumber
trade of the Ottawa valley, died at his home in the
township of Fitzroy, near Renfrew, Ont., last month, in
the ninetieth year of his age. His operations were
confined to the square timber trade. He took many
rafts to Quebec, his operations sometimes reaching
750,000 cubic feet in a season. He operated on the
Quyon, Bonnechere, Petawawa, Dumoine and Mada-
waska rivers. He was particularly well known along
the valley of the Bonnechere, where he year after year
regularly made his trips to the shanties. It is said that
he could fall a lofty pine with great despatch.

ALLAN GILMOUR.

Allan Gilmour, a well known lumberman of Otta-
wa, was on May i9th accidentally shot by a magazine
rifle, death resulting almost instantaneously. It seems
that Mr. Gilmour had arranged to go on a fishing trip
and proceeded to get his tackle together. The store
room was darkened and it is presumed that in reaching
for his fishing rod the gun was in some way discharged.

Deceased was the eldest son of the late John Gil-
mour, a prominent Jumberman, and was in his fifty-
seventh year. He was aman of independent means,
and a few years ago retired from active business life,
although retaining an interest in the lumber firm of
Gilmour & Company, Limited, of Trenton, Ont., of
which company he was formerly president. Messrs.
John Gilmour, of Ottawa, and David Gilmour, of Tren-
ton, are brothers of the deceased.

PERSONAL, ;

Mr. E. H. Lemay, the well known lumber merchant,
of Montreal, accompanied by Mrs. Lemay, recently re-
turned from a three months tour through Europe.
They visited Spain, Italy and Algiers.

Mr. E. A. O'Connor, formerly of St. John, N. B., and
well known as a shingle expert,has removed to Salmon
Lake, Que., to accept a position as foreman for the
lumber and shingle mills of J). Fenderson & Company.

Mr. George W. Campbell, for several years man-
ager of the Winnipeg branch of the British Columbia
Mills, Timber & Trading Company, has accepted the
management of the Tait saw mill at Vancouver, B. C.,
recently purchased by the Rat Portage Lumber Com-

pany.

GROWTH OF FOREST TREES AT THE
"CENTRAL EXPERIMENTAL FARM,
a OTTAWA.
By W. T. Macoon, Horticulturist.
Experiments in the growing of forest trees at the
Central Experimenal Farm were begun mainly for the
purpose of gaining information which would beuseful to
the farmers of Canada, and the fifteen years’ work ac-
complished has, we believe,been of some service to the
farming community and also to others who are inter-
ested in the growth and development of trees from a
more economic and scientific standpoint.
About twenty-one acres of the Experimental Farm
have been devoted tothe planting of forest trees in
belts and clumps, and sixty-five additional acres have
- been used for an Arboretumand Botanic garden in which
forest trees are planted as individual specimens.
The forest belts extend along the whole northern and

hed

nn re tee eee

western side being 165 feet wide and that on the north-
ern boundary 65 feet, their total length being nearly
_ 1% miles.; There is an evergreen plantation also
occupying about 2 acres. These belts and plantation
were planned by Dr. Wm. Saunders, the director, and
the first planting was done in the year 1887.
| ihe main points on which information was desired
were: First, ‘as to the rate of growth of the best timber
trees when grown on different kinds of soil and at
different distances apart ; the distances chosen at first
" being 5 by 5 feet, 5 by 10 feet, and 10 by 10 feet.
Second, it was desirable to know how the growth of
_ trees planted in blocks of one species compared with
~ those grown in mixed plantations. Third, it was im-
portant to learn what influence the forest belts would
have on the crops in the adjoining fields, in regard to
3 ‘the shelter afforded them, and also how far from the
4 belt the crop would be affected adversely. Fourth, the
planting was also planned as far as possible with the
object of improving the landscape, and the several
Species were arranged so that a gcod effect would be
produced.
_ These were the principal objects in view in establish-
ing the forest plantations. We propose to endeavour
"to show how far these objects have been accomplished.
First, with regard to the comparative growth of
"trees when planted on different kinds of soil and at dif-
4 rent distances apart. The soil in which the trees were
: ed Was in some instances poor, in some cases wet
x and cold, in others heavy clay loam,black muck, sandy
loam, and also in gravelly soil—a great variety of soil
_ being represented in the 13¢ miles of forest belts.
ae black walnut thrives well and grows rapidly on
warm sandy loam but is almost at a standstill in wet,
cold, sandy soil and the trees are stunted and practi-
cally useless. This is very interesting, for in Western
Ontario this tree thrives best in river bottoms, but it is
a 1 example of how trees taken from a compara-
tively warm and dry part of the country must be given
rm soil in a colder climate, even though there is
Moisture in the ground. A number of species of
anadian trees as they reach their northern limits are
- found growing on much higher altitudes than where

arm sandy loam. In clay loam it makes a healthy
it slow growth, the growth lessening as the loam
stiffer. Good drainage is very essential for the
‘ous growth of this tree. The red maple does best
ist ground and the rate of growth is largely
erned by the amount of moisture in the soil. It is
unate that so many of these trees have been
ted along the streets of Ottawa, as the permanent

red maple has a wide range from north to south in
America, and it has been found at the Experimental
Farm that trees of this species imported from the South
are in some cases not hardy. The silver maple thrives
in a greater variety of soils than the red and is a more
rapid grower. It, however, also requires a plentiful
supply of moisture to make its best growth.

The white or American elm has been tested at the
Experimental Farm in a great many kinds of soil.
There is an elm avenue about 3/ of a mile long, and by
driving along this the rate of growth of the trees on
different kinds of soil can easily be noticed. This tree
is making the strongest growth in the warmer but fair-
ly moist soils. Where the subsoil is a cold, compact
sand it does not thrive nearly as well. The elm makes
remarkably rapid growth where the conditions are
favourable. Avenue trees planted in 1888 when about
11 feet high and 1¥% inches in diameter 4 feet 6 inches
from the ground are now 37 feet in height and 12%
inches in diameter at the same height from the ground.
The red and rock elm have also been tested in the for-
est belts, but these are not important timber trees.

The beech does best in warm, sandy loam here like
the hard maple, but does very poorly where the soil
is wet.

The basswood is one of the noblest trees and thrives
well in the Ottawa district. It succeeds best in rich,
warm soil and seems to require a fair amount of mois-
ture. It has not done so well on light, sandy land.
The butternut also grows well here, but does best in
warm rich ground.

Poplars and the large growing willows have made
very rapid growth on most soils, but on stiff clay loam
the willows have made least growth, though the pop-
lars do well in it. The Russian poplar made strong
growth at firsi, but of late years have been affected
with a dry rot which is gradually destroying them.
The white poplar is very subject to borers, and the
aspen is too small a tree to be of much value. The two
species which are making the best growth and the fin-
est trees are the cottonwood and the balsam poplar.
These are fine specimens and reach noble proportions
here.

The white spruce makes the moist rapid growth on
warm, sandy loam soil at Ottawa. It does well on
gravelly soil and fairly well on clay loam. The Nor-
way spruce,which is the fastest growing spruce we
have,makes its greatest growth in good sandy loam. It
also succeeds well on gravelly soil and clay loam; in
fact, it has made good growth in all kinds of soil in
which it has been tested, but makes the poorest growth
in the lightest sandy loam.

The American arbor vitae thrives in almost all kinds
of soil. It is most at home, however, on the black and
moist ones. It makes the least growth in heavy clay.

There is no forest tree which appears to succeed as
well in such a diversity of soils as the Scotch pine.
This tree makes strong growth in cold, poor soil, in
clay loam, and in warm sandy loam ; in fact, we have
not discovered a soil at the Experimental Farm in which
it does not thrive. The white pine succeeds best in
sandy loam, and although it makes a healthy growth
on heavier and moister soils, the growth is much less.

One of the most striking trees at the Experimental
Farm is the European Larch. Like the other European
trees, the Scotch pine and the Norway spruce, the
Larch succeeds almost equally well on all kinds of soil.
A block of these trees in the forest belt, in cold, sandy
loam soil, have made very satisfactory growth, while
equal if not better growth has been made on the highest
sandy loam on the farm. The trees have also made
strong growth on heavy clay loam. The Larch saw-fly
is, however, very troublesome, and if the trees were not
sprayed they would be defoliated every year. Itisa
remarkable fact that in the Arboretum where specimens
of the European Larch and our native Tamarac are
growing within a few feet of one another, the saw-fly
has not attacked the native species. Tamarac trans-
planted from a swamp adjoining the Experimental
Farm have surprised us by succeeding admirably on the
higher ground in sandy loam soil. Whether the tree
will reech a large size in this soil has not yet, of course,
been determined.

As already stated, the trees in the forest belt were
planted 5 x 5 feet, 5 x 10 feet, and 10 x 10 feet apart in

' order to learn which was the most satisfactory method.

These distances have all been found too wide. Where
the tress were 10 x 10 feet apart, cultivation was stil

necessary, in some cases eight years after planting,
in order to prevent sod from forming, and to get the
trees to make satisfactory growth. The lower limbs of
trees planted 10 x ro feet apart have in many cases not
yet died, the result being that the trees have knotty
trunks, The tops of the trees planted 10 x 10 feet apart
have also been more broken by storms than those
planted closer, The main objection, however, to such
wide planting is in having to keep the ground cultivated
for so many years.

Even 5 by 5 feet has not been found an economical
distance, as cultivation had to be kept up for from fiveto
seven years, depending on the species and the arrange-
ment of the trees. The most satisfactory growth from
a forestry standpoint has been obtained in a solid plan-
tation of evergreens, which was in 1877 a nursery, but
which was allowed to remain and was extended. The
trees in this plantation were in rows 3 feet apart and
the trees from 1 to z feet apart in the rows. These
have done remarkably well, growing tall and straight,
and having their lower branches killed early owing to
the dense growth. This plantation has been gradually
thinned until the trees are now about 3 by 4 feet apart
but the distance will be widened somewhat this year,as
more will be taken out for poles.

During the past three years some new plantations

have been made in the forest belts where certain kinds
of trees have failed, and the trees in these blocks were
planted only 24% by 2% feet apart. These were not
really all timber trees, as a large proportion of shrubs
and small trees were used for the purpose of shading
the ground and saving cultivation. Several kinds of
trees and shrubs were used for this temporary purpose,
with the object of finding out which were the best. It
may be found that 2% by 2% feet apart is an extreme
in close planting, and that a slightly wider distance
would be more satisfactory.

It has already been said that the trees in the forest
belts were planted in blocks of a single species and
mixed plantations in order to demonstrate which was
the better plan. The rapid growing evergreens have
succeeded about as well in unmixed blocks as where
mixed with deciduous trees and other species of ever-
greens, but the deciduous trees have required much
less labour to keep them growing vigorously where the
species have been mixed. For instance, the ash,
walnut, butternut and elm, though rapid growing trees,
have thin foliage, and in the case of the ash, walnut
and butternut are late to leaf out in the spring. The
result is that there is greater opportunity for grass
to grow; there is also greater evaporation from the
soil, as the leaves are not thick enough to shade the
ground thoroughly. The result is that the trees do not
grow as rapidly as if there were no sod and the ground
weil shaded.

The hard maple, oak and beech are rather slow .

growing trees, and although they have heavy foliage
do not grow rapidly enough when planted in rows and
cultivated to shade the ground in a reasonable time.

The quick growing but thin foliaged trees require the
thick foliaged deciduous kinds and the evergreens
planted among them to make good soil conditions and
give best results, and the thick foliaged but lower
growing kinds require the others for the same purpose.
The box elder is both a thick foliaged and rapid grow-
ing species, and hence a very useful kind as a tem-
porary tree.

There is another advantage in having a mixed
plantation on a farm, and that is that injurious insects
spread less rapidly and ure easier controlled than where
the trees are in blocks of a single species.

A number of average trees were selected in 1893 in
the principal parts of the forest belts and for the past
ten years annual measurements have been made of
these trees. The average is taken of these average
trees and the results published from time to time in the
annual reports of the Experimental Farm.

Some of these measurements may be of interest to

ONTARIO CROWN LANDS.

The report of the Commissioner of Crown
Lands of Ontario for the year 1902 states that
the total revenue collected on account of the
Woods and Forest branch was $1,331,352-10.
Of this sum $1,078,273.35 came from timber
dues; $227,667.84 from bonuses ; $61,039.41
from ground rent, and from transfer fees $4,-
371.50. The revenue collected on account of
timber dues is the largest in the history of the
Province. The collection on account of bonuses
is derived from timber sales of previous years.

The report refers to the prosperous condi-
tion of the lumber trade. Wages in the woods
not many years ago ran from $14 to $18 a
month. Last year the range was from $25 to
$32, and even then men were hard to obtain.
All kinds of supplics increased in price, and the
cost of getting out logs, delivery at the mills,
and sawing and shipping the lumber was much
enhanced, leaving the lumbermen no more than
a fair profit.

The statement of timber cut on Crown lands
for the year is as follows :

SAWDUST AND FISH LIFE.

A paper bearing the above title was read be-
fore the Canadian Institute by A. P. Knight,’
M. A., M. D., Professor of Animal Biology at
Queen’s University, Kingston, and has been re-
printed for distribution. It is a very valuable
work, reviewing as it does the experiments
which have been made by leading scientists to
determine the effect of sawdust upon fish life.

Professor Prince, Dominion Fish Commis-
sioner, says : ‘‘So far as our present knowledge
goes, sawdust polution, if it does not affect the
upper waters, the shallow spawning and hatch-
ing ground, appears to do little harm to the
adult fish in their passage up from the sea.
There is no case on record of salmon, or shad,
or any other healthy adult fish being found
choked with sawdust or in any way fatally in-
jured by the floating particles.”

Mr. Bastedo, Deputy Commissioner for the
Province of Ontaric, expresses the opposite
view in the following words :

‘‘There can be nothing more destructive of
fish life than the depositing of sawdust in the
rivers and lakes. Itis said to absolutely kill
all vegetation, and it is well known that in
waters where there is no vegetation fish life
is noticeably absent. Minute crustacea of vari-
ous kinds feed upon the juices of the plants
which are to be found atthe bottom. These
afford food for the smaller fish, and again these
furnish food for others of larger size.”

In the year 1900 Professor Knight, with the

above facts before him, undertook some ex-
periments at St. Andrews, N. B., for the pur-

Te ae

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN

pose of ascertaining whether or not sawdust
was injurious to fish life. The results went to
show that brook trout were not injured by liv-
ing for two weeks in a water tank largely filled
with sawdust so long asa copious supply of
water was allowed to run into and out of the
tank. These results were corroborated by sub-
sequent experiments carried on in the biologi-
cal department of Queen’s University. When,
however, sawdust was allowed to lie in still
water, or in very slowly running water, entire-
ly diffierent results were obtained.

Prof Knight made a series of experiments
which show comparative results ata glance.
Two grams each of different kinds of sawdust
were placed in shallow circular dishes contain-
ing respectively 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800,
g00, 1,000, 1,200, 1,500, and 1,700 c.c. of fresh
water. After soaking for about five hours in
each case, a minnow was placed in each of the
dishes. The length of time each animal lived
was carefully noted, except in those cases
where death occurred during the night. The
results for white pine, Ontario cedar and Bri-
tish Columbia cedar are given below:

ihe

The conclusions of Prof. Knight are sum-—
marized as follows :

1. Strong sawdust solutions, such as occur
at the bottom ofan aquarium, poison adult fish
and fish fry, through the agency of compounds
dissolved out of the wood cells.

2. The overlying water in such an aquarium
does not at first kill fish. After about a week
it does kill, but solely through suffocation, the
dissolved ozygen having all been used up.

3. Bacteria multiply enormously throughout
all parts of such an aquarium, and through oxi-
dation change the poisonous extracts to harm-
less compounds. Mosquito larve live on the
bacteria. No doubt, in natural pvols, other
aquatic insect larve live on bacteria also.

4. Subsequent aeration and sedimentation of
sawdust water purify it, so that fish can live in
it without injury.

5. Since adult fish and black bass fry both
refused to be driven into pine extracts in the
bottom of an aquarium after they had experi-
enced its poisonous effects, we may infer that
fish would desert a river much polluted with
sawdust, going down stream and into tribu-

Concerning experiments made on the Bonne-
chere River Prof. Knight says the results point
unmistakably to the conclusion that the saw-
dust poured into the river is not destroying its
fish life. Moreover, in Golden Lake, an expan-
sion of the same river, and ten miles above any
saw mill, lake trout used to be very abundant.
Every October large numbers were caught in
nets along their spawning beds. Now these
spawning grounds are reported to be deserted
by fish, and certainly sawdust cannot be blam-
ed for their disappearance. Higher up the
river, in Round Lake, the October fishing is
still good, solely because there are fewer set-
tlers and less fishing.

taries to escape from the disagreeable influence

of sawdust extracts. t
6. No stream can be pronounced off hand as

poisoned by sawdust. Each stream must be

studied by itself and the varying conditions
must be thoroughly understood before a judg-
ment can be pronounced. The chief things to
be considered are (1) the quantity of sawdust,
and (2) the volume of water into which the
sawdust is discharged. Subordinate conditions
are the rapidity or sluggishness of the stream,
the amount of sunlight or shade, and the
character of the water, whether from agricul-
tural lands or from primitive forests.

7. Further observations and studies along
sawdust polluted streams and rivers of Canada
are urgently needed before more definite con-
clusions can be reached.

Lord Strathcona, the Canadian High Com-

have over the Scandinavians is a modern plant
and cheap wood, and the disadvantages under
which they labour are the extra freight rates.
Now,the wood necessary to make a wet ton of
mechanical wood pulp in Scandinavia costs on
the average 11s per ton; and in the best situ-
ated mechanical mills in Canada is said to cost
6s aton. A Canadian mechanical wood pulp
maker therefore starts out with an advantage
of 5s per ton wet ; against this he has an extra
treight to pay of 5s to 6s a ton at an optimistic
estimate, and therefore has no present great
advantage, except that of modern plants, over
his Scandinavian competitors. But reversing
the position to chemical pulp making, the
wood necessary to makea ton of chemical pulp
costs in Scandinavia 60s, because the bulk of
the wood boiled is boiled away ; reckoning the
wood costs 3 dols. a cord at the mill, it would
cost the Canadian only 30s for his wood to
make a ton of pulp, and leaves him an advan-
tage of 30s per ton. Against this he would
have an extra freight to pay on dry pulp of 7s
6d, and he starts out making pulp with a cer-|
tainty that he can get his raw’ material so
cheaply that he can manufacture 20s to 22s
per ton less than the Scandinavians. The an-

’ swer to this argument is, of course, why don’t

the existing mills do it, and the reply to that
again must be that whereas any intelligent
man can become a fairly expert pulp grinder in
six months, in sulphite making great exper-
ience is required, and many a man who has
been a sulphite maker all his life cannot make
sulphite when he dies. The sulphite maker,

like the paper-maker, is born, and the work-

men who can be obtained in Canada are not _

sufficiently experienced, and do not take the

care requisite in the manufacture of a good
sulphite pulp. All these are difficulties which
can be overcome, and Canada is to-day mak-
ing no fair share of the sulphite of the world,
and it is in this direction that it will be a plea-
sure for the writer to convince your lordship
that the future development of Canada in the
pulp trade is possible.”

HARMSWORTHS SECURE PULP LANDS.

The announcement was made about one
week ago that the Newfoundland Timber
Estates, Limited, in which H. M. Whitney, of
Boston, and B. F. Pearson, of Halifax, are
interested, had taken over the timber fosses-
sions in Newfoundland
Miller, of Scotland. It transpires, however,
that most of this property has been taken
over terporarily by the Whitney Company,
and that they will operate it only for the re-
mainder of this season. It will then be taken
over by Harmsworth Bros., publishers, of
London, England, who, it is said, will make
an investment of about $10,000,000 in the
purchase and equipment of their Newfoundland

owned by Lewis

property.
Mr. Beeton, hydraulic engineer for the
Harmsworths, has visited Russia, Finland,

Norway and Sweden in search of suitable pulp
lands, and believes that the property which
they are about to acquire is admirably adapted
to meet their requirements. The property
consists of over one million acres, located on
the Exploits River, Indian Lake, Lloyd River,
King Georges Lake, Victoria River and Vic-

toria Lake. The watershed is over 2,000
square miles, so that a famine in the water

supply may be said to be out of the question.

At Grand Falls, on the Exploits River, the
Harmsworths will build a mechanical pulp
mill, a sulphite pulp mill, and a paper mill
capable of producing 1,000 tons of paper per
week. This amount of paper will be required
for their various publications. It is estimated
that the time necessary to erect the mills will
be between two and three years.

" One of the advantages of Newfoundland for
pulp is that in the case of forest fires, or of
spruce being cut down, the second growth
is invariably spruce.

PULP AND PAPER MAGAZINE.

Messrs. Biggar-Samuel, Limited, Toronto and
Montreal, have issued the first number of a publication
entitled ‘‘ The Pulp and Paper Magazine of Canada.”
It contains 52 pages,of regular magazine size. Articles
in the first number include the following : ‘‘Fibres for
Paper Making,” by Earnshaw Bradley, C. E., Toronto;
“Canada and her Forests,” by George Johnson,
Dominion Statistician, Ottawa ; ‘‘ The Pulp Mill at the
Soo,” (with folding plate), by E. G. N. Cape, C. E.,
Montreal; ‘‘The British Paper Iudustry and its Relation
to Canadian Trade,” ‘‘ Anglo-Canadian Pulp Trade,”
and other interesting contributions.

SWEDISH WOOD-PULP MARKET.

Consul R. S. S. Bergh writes from Gothen-
burg to the United States government, April
22, 1903, as follows : ‘‘Swedish newspapers
state that by reason of the unsatisfactory con-
dition of the wood-pulp market, Swedish and —
Norwegian manufacturers have agreed to
diminish their production. According to re-
ports, 39,834 tons of paper were exported from
Gothenburg during the year 1902, or nearly 64
per cent. of the total export from Sweden, and
7,497 tons of pasteboard or building paper
(nearly g2 per cent. of the whole). The quan-
tities of wood pulp exported from Gothenburg
were : Chemical, dry, 40,064 tons, or nearly
25 per cent.; chemical, moist, 4,753 tons, or
more than 47 per cent. mechanical ; dry,
22,339 tons, or more than 69 per cent., and
moist, 7,604 tons, or more than 14 per cent.
of the total export from Sweden.

PULP NOTES.

It is expected that the pulp mill of the Metabetch-—
ouan Pulp Company, at Metabetchouan, Que., will be

“ in operation by the end of May.

W. & J. Sharples, ot Quebec, who are largely inter-
ested in the River Ouelle Pulp & Lumber Company, are
reported to have decided to increase the manufacturing
capacity.

Mr. Grosset, managing director of the St. John
Sulphite Pulp Company, arrived at St. John last month
from Scotland to make an inspection of the pulp mill

at Mispec.

The William Hamilton Manufacturing Coumpaug of
Peterborough, Ont., have supplied ten large turbines
for the new pulp mills of the Canada Paper Company
at Windsor Mills, Que.

The Quatsino Power & Pulp Company, of Vancouver,
B. C., are preparing for active operations on Quatsino
Sound. The intention is to erect a saw mill at once,
and a pulp mill at a later date.

The experiment of running a pulp wood camp in the
woods all summer will be tried near Gilchrist, Mich.,
this year. If the experiment is a success it will revolu-
tionize the pulp wood cutting industry and avoid the
present danger of shortage of pulp wood.

A Mr. Campbell estimates that the cost of pulp wood
in Ontario is $4 per cord, which will make 1,850 pounds
of air-dry pulp. In Norway and Sweden it is estimated
that the cost of pulp wood is higher, the difference
amounting to about = per dry ton of pulp in favor of
Canada.

A paper on ‘‘The Chemical Industries of Canada”
was read by W. R. Lang, B. Sc., at an open meeting
of the Canadian section of the Society of Chemical
Industry in the chemical lecture room of Toronto
University on May 6th. The author gave some atten-
tion to the pulp and paper industry.

From Great Britain comes the information that the
Canadian Finanée Syndicate, Limited, has been organ-
ized, with a capital of $75,000, to acquire timber limits
and water powers and engage in the manufacture of
pulp and paper in the province | of British Columbia.
The water powers are locates) on the Findlay 1i river and
lakes.

The North Shore Power & ‘Raley Company, in
which Thomas Meaney, of Toronto, is interested, are
actively pushing operations on their works at Seven
Islands, Que. During the past month a contract was
given to Michael Connolly, the well-known contractor,
Montreal, to construct a railway, wharves, pulp mills,
and other buildings.

The Island Power Company, which secured a large
timber concession from the British Columbia Govern-
ment, for pulp purposes, is reported to have sold out to
English capitalists. The Oriental Power Company,has in
reserve all the timber limits on Princess Royal Island i in
British Columbia, is also reported to have disposed of
its holdings to an English company. These English

capitalists are said to be pledged to spend between one
and two million dollars in the establishment of pulp mills.

It is reported that American capitalists are consider-
ing the construction of a pulp mill at Lac du. Bonnet,
Man., situated on the Winnipeg river. About Lac du
Bonnet there a,e stretches of country that is well tim-
bered with spruce and other pulp wood, and a sharp
variation in the level of the water there furnishes the
natural requirements for a good water power.

The case of the Bank of Montreal and other bond-
holders of the Maritime Sulphite Fibre Company
against the company and the Royal Trust Company
has been settled. The difficulty arose over the winding
up of the pulp mill at Chatham, N. B. The claim, of
Lieutenant-Governor Snowball against the company has
been referred to arbitration, Judge Barker having been
selected as arbitrator.

Proceedings have been taken to wind up the Blanche
River Pulp & Paper Company. The assets of the com-
pany are said to be $3,000 and the liabilities $6,000.
The reason given for the unsatisfactory state of the
company’s affairs is that the land grants to veterans
have been taken largely out of the territory covered by
the company’s concessions. These grants carry with

them rights to timber included in the concession to the

company. Hence the company’s material was being

The question of the determination of moisture in wet
wood pulp is a matter which has occupied the attention
of everyone connected with the industry. It has been
the cause of innumerable disputes, as well as the
subject of careful investigation on the part of many
experts. It is learned that the Chicoutimi Pulp Com-
pany, of Chicoutimi, Que., have engaged Mr. G.
Davis, of the firm of Davis Bros., of Manchester, Eng-
land, to thoroughly investigate the arrangements for
the determination of moisture, with a view to putting
them on a reliable working basis.

W. McCredie, writing from the Temiscaming district,
says: ‘‘An intending settler makes application for his
lot of 160 acres, pays the Government five dollars ; he
has at the end of four years to pay a total of fifty cents
an acre, clear sixteen acres, and have built on his lot
a house at least 16 by 20; then he will get his title.
But supposing him to be so poor he can only raise five
dollars and get there, when he has located his lot he
can go to any one of the three companies buying timber
in that country and say, ‘Iam poor; I want an axe,
saw and a load of provisions to live on, and a horse,

harness, hay, oats, etc.’ He will get those articles
cheaper than he can at the retail stores. He then goes
to work cutting pulp wood, for which he gets $2.50 per
cord, on the banks of any of the streams that will float
it down. When his provisions are gone he can go back
and get more till the spring, when the company will
send their agent up to his place, measure his winter's
cut, and pay him the balance due in cash. He can
then go and chop and clear the land he has taken his
timber off during the winter ; and each succeeding
winter repeat the operation. I learned that settlers

last winter cut from one hundred to eight hun-

dred cords each.”

It is announced that the Rainy River Pulp & Paper
Company, of which Hon. George E. Foster, of Toron-
to, isa director, have secured a timber concession of
270 square miles from the Ontario Government. The
company are making preliminary surveys for flumes,
dams, mills, etc., and intend erecting a 30-ton mechan-
ical pulp mill and a 15-ton chemical mill. They will al-
so erect a saw mill and doa general lumbering business.
They expect to have the saw mill in operation next
spring, and the pulp mill by the spring of 1905. The
area of the concession is covered with banksian pine,
poplar, spruce, tamarac and cedar.

THE MOREHEAD RETURN TRAP.

The condensation from any steam heating or cooking
apparatus must be removed. The more quickly the
condensation is removed the drier and more effective
will be the heating surfaces. It is the greatest extrava-
gance to waste it, as it is pure water, and hot. The
most effective way to utilize the heat it contains is to
deliver it into the boiler before it loses its latent heat,
and in no other manner can the condensation be handled
as quickly and with the same economy as with a return
trap.

The Morehead return trap is constructed of steel, the
heads and longitudinal seams being closely riveted and
calked, to withstand any pressure carried on the boiler
without breaking, which is impossible with cast iron
traps. It is the embodiment of simplicity, there being
no rubber joints to blow out or leak, and only one valve,
which is on the outside. All working parts are on the
outside, in plain sight, and easily accessible. There is
no ball or globe float inside the receiver to collapse,
rust, leak or stick.

This trap is located six feet or more above the water-
line of the boiler. The water from the condensing sur-
faces is forced by the pressure of steam from behind,
through a pipe leading to the trap with a swing check
valve close to the latter. As soon as sufficient water
has entered the receiver to overcome the counterbalance
weight, the receiver tilts down, allowing the water to
pass through the discharge pipe, at the same time open-
ing the steam valve, which has a pipe connected with
the dome of the boiler.

By equalizing the pressure on the surface of the water
in the receiver with that in the boiler, the water, in
simple obedience to the laws of gravity, flows into the
boiler.

opening and closing, its action being entirely due to
gravity. When once set up it requires no further atten-
tion. It takes the water from the condensing surfaces

As soon as the receiver is empty it tilts back
The trap is prompt in

whether they are above or below the water level in the

boiler, and automatially returnsit to its boiler at the
temperature due to the pressure at which the steam is
condensed. There is no outlet by which the steam can
be wasted. The trap is quick and positive in delivering
the water into the boiler against any pressure, and
regardless of fluctuations of pressure. It supplies all

the water needed in the boiler from the main water pipe,
providing there is enough pressure on the main to lift
the water to the trap, thus performing the duties of a

THE MOREHEAD RETURN TRAP.

low pressure colis, or coils using exhaust:steam, allow-
ing no condensation to collect in them.

For a boiler plant of 200 horse power having an effi-
ciency of 65 per cent. and an evaporation of 6,900
pounds of water per hour, from and at 212 degrees,
under average conditions, the saving effected by a
Morehead return trap for a year is more than twice the
cost of installing one large enough to handle such a
plant.

Where a Morehead return trap is not. employed, the
usual way of handling compensation is by means of a

points of advantage in favor of the former. A pump —
will not lift water at a temperrture exceeding 212
degrees; a Morehead return trap will. A pump con-
sumes an extravagant amount of steam to do a very
little work. For example, an ordinary duplex boiler-
feed pump requires from go to 120 pounds of steam per
horse power hour. A common slide valve engine
seldom consumes less than 40 pounds per horse power.
The pressure is admitted to the surface of the water,
and is automatically shut off before the tank is empty.
The steam used is only such as is condensed by the
latent heat passing from it into the water in the tank,
which is all put back into the boiler.

A Morehead return trap, it is claimed, requires practi_

cally no attention ; needs no lubrication; will not race
or run away ; is noiseless ; requires little room and no
foundation.

Full information, prices, etc., of the Morehead return
trap may be obtained by addressing the American
Blower Company, of Detroit, Mich., or any of their
branch offices.

LUMBER PILING BY-LAW.

As a result of recent fires in the city of Ot-
tawa, claimed to have started in the lumber
yards, the city council have passed a by-law to
prevent the piling of lumber within the city
limits and stipulating that the owner or occu-
pant of any premises where lumber is piled or
stored shall remove the same outside the limits
of the city within six months of the passing of
the by-law. The by-law grants permission,
however, to any manufacturer or retail dealer
in lumber to maintain a lumber yard within the

Jimits of the city and to pile or store therein

not more than 500,000 feet of lumber, provided
that such yard shall be surrounded by a close
fence not less than six feet high and that the
entrance or entrances to such yard shall be
provided with gates which shall be securely
locked and fastened at night and at any other
time when the yard is not being used, and that
the lumber within such yard shall be piled or

TO ARREST THE MILL MEN.

We are’ credibly informed that the city attorney of
Everett will arrest all mill men of that city who con-
tinue to dump sawdust into the waters of Puget Sound,
as the United States government has recently demand-
ed through Major Millis, of Seattle, that they stop it.
There has been a great deal of trouble lately with the
mill men from Maine to Washington, about what they
shall do with their mill refuse. Already several are
defendents in suits at Everett and Seattle, and the
Maine lumbermen, along the Kennebec river and its
tributaries, are having equally as hard a time with the
authorities,

In addition to committing a nuisance these manu-
facturers are absolutely wasting their sawdust, when
they might be running their mills with it by pntting in

the Gordon Hollow Blast Grate. As this grate is sold
on approval after thirty days’ exhaustive trial, and as,
moreover, its value is demonstrated by the fact that
there are over 2,000 sets in daily use, it would be well
for those interested to obtain full particulars from its
manufacturers, the Gordon Hollow Blast Grate Com-
pany, Greenville, Michigan.

The boy with a Nash Sander will doas much
work, and do it far better than five expert men
can do with the old fashioned sand belt, You can

Figure the Saving Yourself.

It is simply the difference between what you
will pay one boy and what the five men will cost.
If you make any kind of round work, such as
chair legs, spindles, dowel rods, curtain poles,
shade rollers, handles etc.,

You Can’t Afford Not to Use it.

The machine will save its own cost in three
months, besides making an improvement in the
quality of your work that is a profit in itself.

Costs Nothing to Investigate.

GENTLEMEN, In
reference to your in- —
quiry regarding the ©
workings of the Ray ~
Patent Steam Feed
purchased from you
about eighteen months
ago, we have this to
say regarding the feed,
that it certainly is not
only the best feed that
we have ever used, but |
undoubtedly has no
equal to-day on the
Pacific Coast.

We have dropped as"
high as twelve 24-ft. 1”
boards in one minute.
In doing this, the car- —
riage would have to
travel about 650 feet
and stop and _ start
twenty-four times in_
one minute. The -
weight of the carriage, —
head blocks. and log
would be about ten
tons, This would give ~
you a pretty good idea
of the Power exerted
by the feed in hand-
ling a load of that size’
at such a velocity. $

We have run this
feed night and day
since we have had it,
continually, and_ the
same ropes are still in
service that were put
on when the feed was
mounted. Everything
about the feed see

back our old feed for
ten times the cost
the new one. You w
see that we are more
than pleased with it.

Yours truly, ]

E. B. Bie MAGHING CO., Oshkosh, Wis.

When a new and improved machine that has great’
merit in it like this one, is put onto the market, 7
often times other machinery manufacturers will recog-
nize the fact that it will be a good seller and they will
try and start in to copy, of course providing they can do —
it. We expect it may be the case with this machine,
but we know that all the mill men purchasing machines —
will want the Origina!, for many mill men in the © pas
have met with great disappointment in buying: ata
machines. Write for full information. ;

RAILWAY TIES AND THEIR TREATMENT.

At a recent meeting of the Rocky Mountain
Railway Club, Dr. Von Schenck, of St. Louis,
delivered an interesting address on ‘‘Timber
Preservation.”” Among other things he said
was the following :

Abroad, the ties are stacked and dried before
being treated. The time varies considerably in
the different countries, but is never less than
four or six months. This, however, is usually
dependent upon the demand for ties. At the
impregnating plant of the Great Western Rail-
way, England, the ties are allowed to season

PLANING MILL OF THE M. BRENNAN & SONS MANUFACTURING COMPANY, HAMILTON.

for six months before treating with creoscte.
The Eastern Railway, of France, allows from
fifteen to twenty months for oak,
months for beech. They have found out by
long experience that it is absolutely necessary
that the ties be thoroughly dried out before
submitting them to treatment. The piling of
the ties so that large air spaces are left around
them, gives good air circulation, and thus
helps greatly in the evaporation of much of the
water. This long seasoning before treatment,

and six

_almost universally practiced abroad, is one of

the greatest factors leading to successful im-
pregnation with methods employing pressure.
Its value can hardly be questioned. The season-
ing after treatment is fully as important, and per-
haps more so. This is a feature not sufficiently
attended to in this country, and yet it is almost

as vital as the impregnating itself. During
this ‘seasoning process the water or volatile
substances in the wood are given an opportun-
ity to leave the wood under the most favorable
circumstances. When once placed in the soil
in contact with moisture, the water in the wood
has no opportunity of evaporating. In the
case of a soluble salt, this leaches out with the
greatest rapidity from wet wood, while dry
wood is penetrated more slowly by water, and
consequently lasts longer. The drying of ties
before placing in track might be attended to
with excellent results in this country, where no
subsequent treatment is given to the timber.

The universal use of different impregnating
systetns in Europe has brought many of them
to a high state of perfection. In England and
France engineers be-
lieve that their system
gives them the best
results, and they use
—especially in France
—as much of the im
pregnating material as
the timber will hold,
saying that the extra
first cost is amply
paid for by the in-
creased length of life.
As has been pointed
out this system, which
costs from 45 to 80
cents, pays with a tie
which costs from $1
to $1.40. They know
that with this system
of impregnation they
get about thirty years’
life out of their tim-
ber.

In many other coun-
tries where the price
of timber
high, cheaper systems
of impregnation are in use, and will continue
to be used. Zinc chloride has given good re-
sults on some lines, even if it does leach out.
Copper sulphate has done so likewise. The
new Hasselmann treatment gives promise of
good results, and is worthy of more extended

is not so

trial.

The striking Panes about the impregnat-
ing work as now carried on in Europe may be
alluded to again here. They are:

(1) Seasoning of ties before treatment.

(2) Strict inspection of ties and chemicals
used.

(3) Injection of larger amounts of chemicals
than are used here.

(4) Seasoning of the treated
placing in track.

(5) Care in all stages of treatment.

THE UTILIZATION OF WASTE AND
BY-PRODUCTS.

In the last census report of the United States
is an article by Henry G. Kittredge, a part of
which is of greater or less interest to the lum-
ber trade. He goes into details as to the
various uses that are made of what was form-
erly thrown into the waste pile at the saw mills,
and tells of other articles of commerce that are
now extracted from or made of wood that was
formerly considered of little or no value. The
article is in part as follows :

Nothing in the arts of manufacture is more
indicative of economic efficiencies than the
utilization of products that have been rejected
as wastes or residues in the industrial pro-
cesses. The acme of industrial economy is the
profitable employment of every atom of material
in whatever form it may be presented or how-
ever obtained. Every particle of an organic or
inorganic substance has
a useful part to play in
contributing to human
necessities or pleasures,
and when it performs no
function toward some
useful end, or remains
dormant, it shows that
the ingenuity and enter-
prise of man have not
reached their fullest de-
velopment, or that the
arts of the
have not revealed all the
secrets of nature. The

to-day is a

laboratory

refuse of
source of profit to-mor-
row; and this has been
going on for years and
probably will be going
on for years to come,
notwithstanding that
even now there is little
that is thrown aside as
absolutely useless, except
as it may be utilized in
the economies of nature.
New revelations and new
uses are constantly being
found foor substances of
all kinds, whether in
their original forms or in their changed forms,
due to outside agencies. The world’s incre-
ment of wealth is largely dependent upon find-
ing new and more economical uses for mater-
ials, however exalted or humble they may be
in the industrial scale, and especially the eleva-
tion of the humble to a higher plane of appre-
ciated usefulness. If a thing is unused for
man’s enjoyment, it is because it has not yet
found its place of utility.

Nearly all of the formerly waste products of
lumber and timber are now turned to some
utility, and some ot the new products thus

Of this

latter class may be mentioned sawdust, which

formed are of considerable value.

was formerly considered an absolute waste
material, and was allowed to float down the
stream or was thrown into a heap where it
could be most conveniently disposed of.
French cabinet makers have found a way of

r paring this material which gives it a value

far above that of solid timber by a process that

has been in vogue for at least twenty-five or
thirty years, combining the use of the hydraulic
press and the application of intense heat. By
this process the particles of sawdust are formed
into a solid mass capable of being. molded into
any shape, and of receiving a brilliant polish,
and possessing a durability and a beauty of ap-
pearance not found in ebony, rosewood or
mahogany. This product is known as ‘‘ Bois
durci.” Artificial woodwork, therefore, seems
to have a promising future. Alum, glue and
sawdust kneaded with boiling water into a

started at Fredrikstad capable of distilling
10,000 tons of sawdust in a year. It also
manufactures charcoal briquettes, which are
exported to the Netherlands. The acids are
chiefly placed on the German market, while the
tar is mostly consumed at home. The factory
is said to be the first of its kind erected in that
country. According to an English patent of
1897 sawdust may beso prepared as to be non-
inflammable, and then applied to jacketing of
boilers and other purposes.

In the Journal of the Society of Chemical
Industry for 1898 is described a series of experi-
ments for obtaining alcohol from either coarse
or fine sawdust, without affecting the yield.
It was found that pine sawdust, as compared
with fir sawdust, was superior, as yielding a
purer alcohol. It was also found that a high
yield of sugar was obtained from birch saw-
dust, the yield of sugar being about 30.8 per
cent. of the quantity of birchwood used. The

quantity of alcohol obtained from 220 pounds ~
of air dried sawdust (20 per cent. water) was 7
to 8 quarts. The quality of the alcohol dis-
tilled from the fermented liquid was said to
have been excellent and the preliminary experi-
ments indicated that the trifling impurities
found in it could be readily removed.

A patent taken out in England in 1896 for
utilizing certain waste products of wood de-
scribes a process of constructing or manufac-
turing a product resembling wood from a mix-
ture of sawdust or wood refuse and certain —
quantities of gums, resins, or other suitable
agglutinants, either in a dry state or dissolved,
the compound being subjected to pressure at a
temperature sufficiently high to soften or melt
the gums or resins.

According tothe United States census of
1900 the amount of sawdust used in the clay
and pottery industry of this country cost $19,-
687, or 0.17 per cent. of
the total cost of all the
materials used.

The utilization of wood
pulp in the manufacture
of paper is not new, but
its increased use is very
marked, as will be seen
by comparing the statis-
tics of the census of
1890 with those of 1900,
in the amount of raw ~
materials used in the
manufacture of paper.
Early in 1826 the broth-—
ers Cappucino, paper
makers of Turin, dis-
covered a means of sup-
plying the need for paper
making material, caused
by the scarcity of rags in
the fabrication of paper,
by substituting the thin
bark of the poplar, willow
and other kinds of wood.
The good quality of the
paper made from this
material was recognized
by the Academy of
Science, after an exami-
nation of the manufac-
tured product, and so important was the dis-
covery considered that the king granted the
brothers an exclusive privilege for ten years
for the mannfacture of paper from ligneous ma-
terials. In 1833 a patent was granted in Eng-
land to J. V. Desgrand for making paper and
pasteboard from wood reduced toa state of
paste. Poplar wood was thought at that time
the best for this purpose, as it had been in
Italy twelve years previous. A patent was
granted in 1855 to William Jobnson for im-
provements in the application of various sub-
stances containing wood fiber, as the best, or
inner bark, of the lime tree, the willow, birch
and alder, to the manufacture of wood paper
pulp. At the London International Exposition
of 1862 Wurtemburg contributed several
samples of paper made from wood pulp mixed
with rags, the proportion of the former varying
from 10 to 80 per cent.; and the paper was
reported to be serviceable, although of a low

CARE OF BO OF BOX MACHINERY.
Regarding the care of box ma-
chinery, a writer in the Wood-
rker says :

iy recently suggested that some
provement could be made to a
ted planer by having two cut-

, with the front one raised a
4 as to divide the cut between
two heads. This I suggested
fe two reasons: First, because it
old give us four driving belts in-
id of two, which would insure
ist choking down when a lumpy board
along, and second, because the front head
dthen get the bulk of the dirt and grit
the board, making it easier to keep the
x cutter in shape for smooth finishing than
be possible if there were but one head

‘question which came up was in relation to

bottom cutter by the platen and feed rolls, and
there can be no variation of the cut there dur-
ing the running of a board, no matter what it
may vary in thickness. I repeat, then, my
suggestion that some improvement could be
made in the ordinay smoothing planer practice
by having two cutterheads for top surtacing
and distributing the work of four knives to two
heads and four belts, instead of one head and
two belts.

This year there is particular need for the very
best of facilities for matching up of box boards.
I do not mean the tongue-and-grooving, but
the fitting together at the saw table of such
widths as are required to make up a box side,
for the scarcity and high price of lumber has
led to the use of smaller pieces of scrap, and
has practically doubled the work in this line.
While it is all right to save timber, and some
might well have learned the lesson sooner, it is
well, too, to see that it is saved without cost-
ing more in labor expense than the timber is

worth. I have seen a man stand at a little
table rip saw with his gauge set for the width
that it was desired to make up, which might be
of any number of pieces, and when a piece came
along that had no good edge to work from he
would slide it alongside of the saw and trim it
on one edge, trusting his eye and his hands to
get astraight, even cut. Now, no matter how
good a man’s eye may be, or how deft his hand,
it takes up some time to do this, and it cannot
be as satisfactorily done even then as it would
be if there were some guide for the work ;
besides, there is an element of danger in this
work that might as well be reduced.

For doing work of this kind one should have
a saw frame with that part outside the saw
line sliding like a carriage, and if he has not
he should work one of his table saws over and
get some kind of a sliding arrangement here.
Let the inner part of the frame, where the gauge
is set, and where the box side is cut to size,
remain as it is if desired, but be sure and get
some sort of a carriage on the outside of the
saw so those pieces that have to have an edge
trimmed can have it donefin a business-like and
satisfactory manner. When the thing is once
tried the advantages will soon become appar-

ent. Another thing worth trying on these

little table saws is, if you have a wooden top
try covering it with sheet steel; it will not only
make a better working surface, but it will also
insure a long life to the table top.

When you refit those little saws, do not get
the idea that they are good for an indefinite
period of service without attention, and leave
them at that, for they require certain small
attentions every day, which, in the aggregate,
are of as much importance as the refitting of
the machines themselves. Do not think they
will run it the operator will only squirt a little
oil at them semi-occasionally, but see that
they are provided with oiling facilities, and
then see that they are oiled regularly. I have
seen such rigs in operation, and by-and-by
have seen smoke rising from the journals ; the
result would be from two hours to half a day’s

- time lost that need not have been if they had

been anything like properly lubricated.

Not only is it of importance to give atten-
tion to the oiling of these and other machines
in the factory, but they should be kept from
getting clogged with dust and dirt
till it is almost revolting to have to
examine the interior of the machine.
Do you ever get affected with the
cleaning-up habit? Do you have
the machines in the place cleaned
regularly, and try to induce’the men
to take some interest in the out-
ward appearance of the machinery ?
If you do not, you ought to try it at
once. Do you just let the machines
go because you think you cannot
spare the time and expense of clean-
ing up occasionally ? If you do,
you ought to try a change for luck,
and see if what you first looked
at as a loss of time does not really
prove to be time well spent.

I saw a young foreman inaugu-
rate a plan along this line one time
that struck me as
enough to mention, that others, who have
not yet taken up this subject,

cerned, and, as a rule, the floor was kept nice
and clean, but the machinery was being run
without any set period for cleaning up, which
had resulted in leaving most of it in a shape
that a cleanly man would abhor.

An idea struck the foreman and he passed
around the word to every operator to stop at
15 minutes before quitting time on that (Satur-
day) evening and devote 15 minutes to cleaning
up his machine. Promptly at the time men-
tioned every man flew to cleaning up his mach-
ine and putting things to rights in his individual
part of the shop, and the following Monday
morning things presented a better appearance
than they had at any previous Monday that I
had seen the shop.

ADVERTISING RATES ON APPLICATION.

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN is published in the interests of the
lumber, wood-working and allied industries, being the only
representative in Canada of these important interests. It aims
at giving full and timely information on allsubjects touching
these interests, and invites free discussion by its readers.

Especial pains are taken to secure for publication in the
WEEKLY LUMBERMAN the latest and most trustworthy market
quotations throughout the world, so as to afford to the trade at
home and abroad information on which it can rely in its
operations. Subscribers will find the small amount they pay
for the CANADA LUMBERMAN quite insignificant as compared
with its value tothem. There is not an individual in the trade,
or specially interested in it, who should not be on our list, thus
obtaining the present benefit and aiding and encouraging us to
render it even more complete.

Advertisers will receive careful attention and liberal treat-
ment. For manufacturing and supply firms wishing to bring
their goods to the attention of owners and operators of saw
and planing mills, wood-working factories, pulp mills, etc.
the Canapa LUMBERMAN is undoubtedly the cheapest an
most profitable advertising medium. Special attention is
aimected to ‘““WANTED” and ‘“‘ For SALE”’ advertisements, which
are inserted in a conspicuous position on front page of the
Weekly Edition.

THE COMMERCIAL OUTLOOK.

The almost entire absence of failures in the
lumber trade is proof of the prosperous condition
of the industry. The average business is being
conducted at a profit and should at the close of
this year again show a balance on the right
side. The making of large profits, however, has
been renderd more difficult, if not impossible,
by the increase in the cost of stumpage and of
logging. A few years of prosperity were due
the lumbermen of Canada, and if the present
good times should continue for some years yet,
they would bring but a deserved reward for the
many years when lumber barely brought the
cost of production and more than one business
concern was forced into bankruptcy.

What shall be the trend of commercial events
in Canada during the next few years is a
question that is much discussed. Some predict
that the height of prosperity has already been
passed and thata gradual falling off in business
may be expected. The magnificent showing
made last month by the export and import re-
turns does not indicate such a result. Inquiries
made of manfacturers of machinery reveal a
healthy condition of trade. Some of the larg-
est manufacturers have orders on hand which
will take the bulk of their output for twelve
months to come. This would seem to indicate
confidence on the part of the people, for if they
believed a wave of depression was on the road,
which would certainly bring with it lower prices
for products of all kinds, they would not place
orders at the prices of to-day.

“In times of peace prepare for war” is good
advice. Periods of depression will doubtless
be experienced, and it may be unwise to be too
optimistic in respect to even the near future.
Nevertheless, it seems extremely doubtful that

we shall again witness in the same degree the
stagnation to trade which characterized the
early nineties, for the development of the re-
sources cf Canada has only commenced.

The breach between capital and labor has
seemed to widen with the better times, for in
no year, perhaps, has the business of the
country been more disturbed by ‘strikes.
Doubtless the employees have not always been
at fault, but on the other hand there have been
many instances where labor has made unjusti-
fiable demands. If the aggresiveness of labor
organizations is to continue, we see in it one of
the surest signs of the return to the hard times
and over-stocked labor market of ten years
ago.

TREATMENT OF TIMBER.

The hope of an ample timber supply for fu-
ture generations lies largely in the education
of the people to the necessity of preserving and
protecting the standing trees. It is not alone
in this respect, however, that we can foster our
supply, for the treatment of timber in a man-
ner to prolong its life is a most important
agency towards perpetuation. So far in this
country very little thought has been given to
any artificial method of timber preservation,
owing to a lack of recognitioa of its necessity.

To Dr. Martin Murphy, of Halifax, N. S.,
belongs the credit of endeavoring to awaken
the interest of Canadians in the subject. In
his presidential address before the Canadian
Society of Civil Engineers, he presents some
statements which show that it is most exped-
ient to prolong the life of railway ties, wharf
piling and other timber by means of creosote
or other similar material.

The average life of a railway tie in Europe
is about twenty-four years, while that of a
spruce or hemlock tie in this country is from
eight to ten years. In Europe the ties are
treated by creosote, which apparently doubles
their life. It would seem to be a fallacy to
consider that the ties used in this country could
not be effectively treated in a similar manner,
thus effecting a very large saving in the con-
sumption of timber.

Dr. Schenck, of the United States Bureau of
Forestry, is also an advocate of the seasoning
and creosoting of timber. The main advan-
tages of seasoning are that the timber lasts
longer, since the water in green timber is
necessary to the life of decay-producing fuugi ;
that it greatly increases the effectiveness of
the preservative treatment, and that by re-
ducing the weight of timber it causes a corres-
ponding saving in freight.

An interesting fact, recently discovered, is
that high grade timber, such as white pine or
oak, is not so readily penetrated by the pre-
servative fluid as is timber of poorer quality.
This is due to its greater density.

Reverting again to Dr. Murphy’s address,
he points out the need of large plants along
our coasts for creosoting heavy timber. The
cost, he admits, would not be warranted by
the amount paid annually for imported creo-
soted timber, but would be saved many times
over by the cost of renewals, which would be
greatly reduced by the application of creosote.

The subject seems to be of sufficient import-

ance to receive consideration at the hands of —

the Government, who in our opinion should

undertake experimental tests with a view to
convincing the public of the benefits to be de-
rived from the artificial treatment of timber.

BOARD MEASURE.

One might reasonably suppose that a term
that is so universally used by the lumber trade
as is ‘‘board measure” is entirely free from
ambiguity as to its meaning. It is only
necessary to obtain the opinions of a few
persons to find out that its real significance is
by no means clearly understood. It has been
the subject of litigation on more than one
occasion, and it is doubtful whether the mean-
ing of the term in all its applications has yet
been clearly defined.

Board measure is based on a square foot
12x12 inches by one inch in_ thickness.
Material thicker than one inch is reduced to
the inch basis. Thus a board twelve feet
long, twelve inches wide and one and one-—
half inches thick would contain eighteen feet
board measure. The accuracy of the method
by which the above result is obtained is un-
questioned. The proper measurement of pieces
less than an inch in thickness, however, brings
up the question upon which opinion is
divided. By some it is contended that no
allowance is to be made for the deficiency
where a board is less than an inch in thickness,
that is, that a board twelve feet long and
twelve inches wide contains twelve feet board
measure even if only one-half inch thick. The
American Lumberman holds this view, at the
same time pointing out that it is an incon-
sistency of the board measure system that is
misunderstood. On the other hand, so great an
authority as Mr. W. B. Mershon, of Saginaw,
claims that lumber thinner than 13-16, which
is the thinnest standard for dressed inch, must
be taken as surface measurement, the price
being based on so much a thousand feet sur-
face measure, regardless of the board measure.
He argues that if lumber 3% or % or ¥%
inch thick counted for inch stock, a per-
son could buy one thousand feet board
measure of 14-inch lumber, resaw it with a
fine resaw and leave it nearly 5-inch thick,
and he would at once produce 1,600 feet board
measure. Mr. Christadoro, the author of a
well-known box reckoner, agrees with Mr.
Mershon’s contention.

Even at this late date it would seem very
desirable that a proper determination of the
term ‘‘board measure” should be made by
some high tribunal, for as matters now stand
the trade are loath to accept either of the
existing definitions. F

‘EA RLY SAWYERS AND HEWERS OF
SAW-LOGS.

lumber sawyer and the log hewer were
utmost importance in early colonial days.
Were no ees in New England, nor

numerous to make ‘‘pit sawing”

ssary. So scarce and high-priced were
lat sometimes even pit sawing was im-
ble, and towns sprung up built of log
es with split shingles, too far in the fron-
have a board. The town records

<

¥

of a village in Oneida county, New York,
show ‘‘the first death in the settlement, a child,
buried in its cradle, there being no boards to
make a coffin.”

Pit sawing was done by two men with a
long saw that had cross handles on each end.
The log was first hewed square and then either
placed over a pit dug in the ground or it was
elevated on trestles. The best workma) stood
on top of the log and pulled the saw up, atthe
same time guiding it along a chalk line. He
was called the top sawyer; the other man, less
skilled, pulled the saw down and was called
the pit man, says M. E. Stewart, of the U. S.
Department of Labor, in a recent article.

Top sawyers were paid 33% cents a day in
New Englandin 1630; pit men received 25
cents; or where board was furnished they re-
ceived 25 cents and 1624 cents respectively.
When working by the piece they were permit-
ted by ‘‘the court” to charge 75 cents a hun-
dred feet for boards ‘‘at six score to ye hun-
dred (that is, 120 feet) if the wood be felled
and squared for them.” If the sawyers cut
the trees and squared their own logs they
might charge 92 cents for 120 feet. This
court regulation did not last long and by 1639
Sawyers got $1.08 for this work.

Late in the year 1621 the Plymouth colony

“sent the small ship Fortune of fifty-five tons

burden to England, loaded with hand-sawed
‘clapboard as full as she can stowe and two
hogsheads of beaver and other skins.” The
value of the cargo was said to be $2,000.
This was the beginning of New England’s for-
eign commerce. Virginia had been exporting
shipments for some time.

In New Amsterdam the wages of top saw-
yers was 50 cents and pit men 4o cents a day,
and this continued to be the rate of wages in
sawmills after they became quite common. Al-
though Manhattan was settled in 1614, the
West India Company did not see fit to erect a
sawmill until 1633. It is not strange that
none was erected in New England until the
same year, for there was none in England for
over 100 years after this; but the Hollanders
in Manhattan must have seen mills in their
native land, and so had the Swedes who first
settled Pennsylvania. The Swedes had a saw-
mill before the landing of Penn. The greatest
drawback was the scarcity of tools, for even
as late as 1792, when the first sawmill was
built in Rensselaer county, New York, by a
millwright named Cross, he ‘“‘had no tools but
an axe, saw and auger.” The wages of mill-
wrights were then $1.50 a day in New York
and from $1 to $1.17 a day in Massachusetts.

In a list of articles to be sent to the Dutch
colony on the Delaware in 1662 we find the
‘fron works for a saw mill” charged at ‘‘450
florin,” the equivalent of $180. A completed
mill sold in Massachusetts in 1684 for $337.
A sawmill of that value was able to cut about
1,000 feet of boards aday, a day being from
sunrise to sunset.

The colonies hedged these sawmill franchises
around most carefully. So characteristic of
the colonial idea of the rights of the communi-
ty as against the individual interest are these
regulating franchises that one of them is here

quoted .Permission was givent hree men by the

us

town of Scituate, Mass., to erect a sawmill.
The document is dated Nov. 10, 1656, and the
mill must be finished within three months from
that date. The regulating clause reads :
“That in case any of the townsmen do bring
any timber into the mill to be sawed the own-
ers of the mill shall saw it, whether it be for
boards or plank, before they saw any of their
own timber, and they are to have the one-half
for sawing the other half. And in case any
man of the town that doth bring any timber to
the mill to be sawed shall want any boards for
his particular use, the owners of the mill shall
sell him boards for his own use so many as he
shall need for the country pay (farm produce)
at 58¥4 cents an hundred inch sawn; but in case
the men of the town do not supply the mill with
timber to keep it at work the owners of the mill
shall have liberty to make use of any timber
upon the common to saw for their benefit.”

One peculiarity of these regulations always is
that a higher price may be charged to people
who do not live in the town granting permis-
sion to build ; also that work for “‘ strangers ”
must not be done at this advance price if any
townsman wants work done at the lower price.

New York was equally careful to secure
favorable rates for the people of the granting
town as against outsiders, even where a fixed
rate was not named. In 1673 Oyster Bay gave
a right to James Townsend ‘‘ and his heirs for-
ever” to cut and use any timber they found on
the commons and sell the lumber to any one,
whether in the town or out of it. But Jamaica,
a town in the same county, granted in 1675 to
Carpenter & Carman permission to erect a mill
and use timber from the common land ‘‘ except
clapboard and rayle trees under eighteen-inches,
provided they saw for the town 12 pence in the
hundred cheaper than any other persons of
any other town ; and for citizens of the town
that bringeth the timber one-half of the sawn
stuff for their labor, provided that it is only for
their own use.” Jamaica did not like the
Oyster Bay franchise.

New England seems never to have granted
any rights to a man ‘“‘and his heirs forever.”
The objection to primogeniture and entail came
as ballast in Mayflower. Some of the quaker
colonies stipulated in their saw mill franchises
that the owners must saw boards for Indians
for their own use tree of charge.

These mills had but one upright saw, the
blades being attached directly to the lowe
frame and rendered steady by side pressure
from guide blocks. The first mills built both
in Manhattan and in New England were driven
by wind ;
small overshot wheel being used.

Hand sawing was by no means done away
with by the introduction of these crude saw
mills. Many of them would not take a log
long enough to make sills and beams, and al

the heavy timber continued to be sawed by
hand. In the white-pine districts of New York
the trees were so large they could not be hand-
led by the early mills.

THE COST OF WOOD WORKING."

Ip this article the desire is to present for the
consideration of manufacturers a system which
will simplify the keeping for ready reference the
cost of the manufacture of any article or set of
articles. While a wood-working plant is un-
der specific discussion, it is merely by way of
illustration, and it can readily be seen that the

be told by the workman detailed, and foremen
should be instructed to refuse to receive any
job from another department without the
ticket attached.

TIME CARDS.

One of the essential points in the cost of the
manufacture of an article is the time a workman
consumes in its construction ; often it is of far
greater importance than the actual
cost of material. In order to prop-
erly arrive at that point the adop-
tion of a time card is suggested.
This card may be printed in the form
of the dial of a clock (Figure If).
This plan is suggested for the reason
that the most illiterate workman is
able to tell time, and his only task
need be to place a cross in the hour

when he begins work on an ordez,
and another when it passes from his

principles involved may be carried into any line
where system is desired and with the same sat-
isfactory results.

ORDERS.

It matters little what the nature of the article
may be, all goods manufactured should be con-
structed from blank orders which should be
furnished tothe foreman of each department
though which an order passes. The form sug-
gested for this purpose (Figure 1) may be
adapted to varied requirements. At the com-
pletion of a part of. the order in any depart-
ment it receives the O.K. of the foreman, and
is sent along to the next department and so on
until the work is finally ready for delivery.
This enables the office to at any time learn the
exact position of the order without searching
through the tactory for the desired information.

hand. Thus the exact time required
for work in each department through
which it passes may be at once de-
termined. Different forms should
be provided for each department,
as they differ in the operation, but each should

‘retain the chief points; the order number, job

number, date commenced, date finished, name

or check number of workman, number of pieces _

and the name of the article. Cards for the cabi-
net room would have the possible operations
printed along the side of the card, and similar-
ly in all of the departments. The idea which
it is wished to convey will be found illustrated.

These time cards should be deposited in
pockets attached toeach machine and should
be numbered according to the machine number
in order to prevent confusion. Then when a
workman starts a job he has but to enter the
job number on a card and cross the time when
he commences his work. The _ illustration
(Figure III) shows one of these pockets in use.
He enters his name, or, if he cannot write, his
check number, runs a line though the operation
to be preformed and when through
with it makes another cross on the
dial. The plan described, as will be
seen, also serves as a check on the
workman, for the machine number
and the name of the operation or
department must correspond. For
instance, if a shaper was number 26

and the workman crossed out the
operation of sawing on a card bearing
the shaper number, the time clerk
would immediately know that there

charge of the work should also include the date
of the completion of the order.

If the order is one necessitating its tranfer
from one department to another on trucks, then
each truck should bear a job ticket or tag on
which should be entered the order nuniber and
the name of the article to be manufactured.
The tickets should in all cases accompany the
order, the number of which could at all times

had been an error made and could
traceit. Of course workmen would

be paid for the time indicated on the

oe card. The different cards they turn
in each day show the exact amount

of time worked, and the exact cost of labor
can thus be obtained.

It is a very simple matter to determine the
cost of non-productive labor by computing the
cost of the productive labor for a given period
in a given department, and dividing the amount
thus obtained into the cost of non-productive
labor for the same length of time in the same
department. To illustrate: Assuming that the
productive labor amounted to $1,000 for a

given period of time, and the non-productive
labor for the same department amounted to
$100. By dividing as stated above the result
would be 10 percent. Therefore to the cost
of the productive labor add ro per cent. to
cover the cost of the non-productive labor.

CUTTING RECORD.

There should be turned in each day by the
foreman of the machine room the exact amount
of rough lumber cut. This should include all
scrap and waste for each order number.

In keeping a stock record a card should be :

made out for each kind of lumber, the cards to
be filed between suitable guide cards (Figure
IV). When lumber is received it is entered on

the card in the proper column, noting the date,
from whom received and the amount.

The
daily reports turned in by the foreman of the
cutting room should show the amount of stock
cut for each order, and from his reports the
amount of stock could be entered. When an
order is made out in the office the actual net
amount of lumber needed for its construction
is determined and entered in the proper col-

Ficure III,

umn. The amount of scrap and waste there-
fore can easily be determined by a comparison
of the foreman’s report. and the office estimate.

In determining the percentage of waste add
the various amounts of stock estimated for the
different orders and also the amount of stock

cut, and the difference will give the amount of —

scrap and waste together. The superintendent
should estimate the amount of stock in the
scrap bin. The difference between the stock
there and the total amount of scrap and waste

divided by the amount of stock cut will give —

the proportion of waste.

Several entries on the card (Figure IV) serve
to properly illustrate this.
the entries show that on the orders No. 250,
No. 251 and No. 252 the office estimate
amounted in the aggregate to 3223 feet.
actual amount of material cut was 4353 feet.
The superintendent finds the amount of scrap
to be 354 feet. The difference between the

amount actually cut and the office estimate is
1028 feet, deducting the 345 feet of scrap leaves

a difference of 683 feet, which is properly
waste.

The above operation results in determining 4
the cost of material and the 15 per cent. thus

the grades more uniform. There is also this
advantage, all the trimming is done at the one
Saw at the grader’s stand, and it is done right
under his eye, so that the tendency to waste
can be checked.

The final disposition of the dressed stock has
to be made on the trucks, as no system yet
devised has been able to handle so great a
variety of sizes and grades and do it without
the help of trucks of some sort.
The shape and construction of these
trucks vary in almost every locality,

soon as a piece of lumber is dressed it

jachine that is doing anything like a day’s
has no time to dally with it very long. If
m is a chain that carries all stock past

, that part of the matter is easily dis-
of, and the final disposition is a matter
much or so little trucking.

e mills that have a number of machines
ntly in line, it is found to be most
e to have a chain transfer at the feed-
end of the machines and traveling at
gles to the delivery of the lumber.
ain,says a writer in The Wood-Worker,
s the finished product past a given point,
itis graded and marked for the stock
to which point it is conveyed by trucks,
only called ‘‘dollies,” or by a roller or
ansfer to a certain point in the stock
ed, "where the stock is loaded on trucks of
form, for final distribution to the cars
stock bins to which it may have been
r the transfer system and the single grader
is this advantage, that there is not at all
the difficulty of finding a number of
S = higher wages than are paid to the
and it eee has a tendency to make

wheel ‘‘dollie,” with all its un-
handy features. There are many of
them in the pine mills of the south,
for no other reason, in some cases,
than that they are considered ‘‘nig-
ger’ proof.

From an extensive experience I
prefer the factory truck with re-
movable standards to any other, for
ease of handling and low first cost.
A number of them can be placed
convenient to the grader and all
the bundled stock put on a
truck, with each grade separate, while a fair-
size boy can roll 500 feet on a level floor. Then
there is this other advantage that the stock
is never allowed to touch the floor, an advan-
tage that contributes no sinall share teward
lessening the cost of handling. These trucks
can be handled in as small a space and around
as sharp a corner as the ‘‘dollie,” and have
the added advantage thatthey will not upset nor
tip up on the end when loaded, as the higher
‘‘dollies” are so prone to do. Where the lum-
ber is bundled for shipment, these trucks are
even more of a convenience, as the bundles can

_be loaded higher on a given platform space on

the frame without sticking and are in no danger
of being shaken off in the rolling of the truck
Once used they are seldom discarded.

In the case where there is a grader at the
several machines (and that system is by no
means discarded) these little ad-
juncts to the success of a mill are
especially valuable,as they furnish a
ready means of transporting' as-
sorted quantities of lumber in a
more compact and cleaner shape
than by any other means. In case
of necessity these trucks offer a
sort of portable warehouse, hold-
ing their contents securely, yet
ready for a quick movement, and
taking very little room.

I have watched a number of sys-
tems of the transfer sort, and except
for the saving effected at the grading
end, there is not much to commend
them over the trucks, and the trucks
have to form no inconsiderable part of most
transfer. systems. Ina number of instances I
have seen lumber graded in the iough and
loaded on the cars from the machine, without
further grading, except in the case of a board
getting accidently spoiled and laid aside. That
does not seem to me to be a good system for
anything else than plain surfacing or resawing

are no culls to be laid out. For machines that
work on stock from which orders are to be
selected as they come in, this will not answer.
It is in a case of this sort that the little trucks
show their value.

FORESTRY METHODS,

The last report of the New York State
College of Forestry contains some pertinent
remarks by Dr. B. E. Fernow, the Director,
in respect to the planting of hardwoods in the
Adirondacks. He says:

There is one tact on the silvicultural side
which the experiment has demonstrated to the
satisfaction of the writer, namely, that in the
hardwood forest of the Adirondacks, where the
pine and spruce have been severely culled, the
only practicable method, both from financial
and silvicultural points 0 view, of securing a
desirable new crop, is a clear cutting system,
followed by artificial regeneration of the coni-
fers, leaving only enough of the hardwoods to
produce an admixture by natural regeneration,
and saving only so much of the promising

_ volunteer growth of young hardwoods and

conifers as is not liable to be thrown by the
winds. Indeed, it may often be best to make
a clean sweep—denude, though the word has
been used to denote vandalism—and replace
artificially without reference to existing volun-
teer growth. This planting, of course, costs ;
it is an investment for the future, but one that
can be easily shown to be profitable in the
long run. This method cannot be practised
without taking care of the rubbish resulting
from the logging operation, and this, of course,
again entails expense. But when the simple
and efficient system of clearing, followed by
planting, is practised, the debris can be buried
more cheaply, using the early spring season,
before the snow is quite gone, and thus ‘the
fire danger, always attending logging opera-
tions,can be most readily reduced. The forest
management has, indeed, by close watching

so far been fortunate in avoiding this con-

too, the

assistance to

management needs financial
increase means of prevention of forest fires, at
least of the young plantations which are to
replace the old crop. The annual logging
area comprises between 500 and 800 acres, of
which probably at least one-half will require
replanting, and on these areas special pre-

cautions to ward off fire are necessary.

HOOKS IN BAND SAWS.

The more hook the greater the cutting abili-
ty of the band saw and the less motive power
is required. Too much hook could not be
given a saw if the question of cutting is alone
considered. What makes the excessive hook
detrimental or hazardous to the safety of the
machine is the tendency for teeth with extreme
hook to feed too rapidly. More hook can be
given to the circular than to the band, as the
circular, being round, has a tendency to throw
or push the stock from it somewhat, irrespec-
tive of the hook. But the band saw, acting
at right angles, has more of a tendency toward
it. In the case of a band saw with no hook,
the action of the teeth would not be so much
one of cutting as of scraping or split-
ting.

Hardwoods require less hook than soft
woods, and of the soft woods those that are
stringy or fibrous require the most hook.
Some of the most successful saw filers make
no distinction in hook in cutting hard or soft
woods, but run the same tooth with apparent-
ly equal success. In, general practice, how-
ever, the hook used on saws for hardwood is
from one-fourth to one-third and in rare cases
one-half.

As regards the efficiency of the saw in differ-
ent woods, a good deal depends upon having
the saw fitted with proper swage and side-
dress, kept properly sharp, properly slim and
throated, and the feed not too fast. Very thin
band saws are run successfully in re-sawing
the hardest wood, such as kiln-dried oak, etc.,
but the teeth must be finely fitted, and the
stock properly fed.

The action of saw teeth is identical with
that of a chisel,
learns to present his chisel at the right angle
to the wood, to cut the best, so must the saw
fitter learn at what angle his saw teeth are
best calculated to cut, as regards hook. There
should be no such thing as scraping or tearing,
through imperfect hook or dullness. A dull
saw takes much more power than a sharp saw,
because its operation is not clean-cutting.

There is a general tendency on the part of

€ : % .
[eon oe es ees es

! Nie WIA ile

a ie. MYL

and just as a woodworker

band saw filers to run more hook in their saws.
This may be done without impairing the
strength of the tooth to the extent that it will
chatter or vibrate in the cut by allowing the
hook to run down the face of the tooth about a
quarter of an inch, and then drop away from
the hook line on a gradual curve, forming a
nice, round throat, which enables a saw to cut
easily on big feed.

The back of tooth must be made sufficiently
full or rounding to give plenty of strength to
point of tooth and you must avoid long teeth
on short spacings. For a tooth with extreme
hook, and for a large round gullet, a spacing
of 134 or 2 inches is right. This long space
enables you to build up the back of tooth
properly, because, with the greater space be-
tween the points, the backs can be kept higher
without diminishing the throat room, and thus
more hook is secured without weakening the
teeth.

The amount of hook in wide band saws
varies from 4 to 6% inches in a 10-inch saw
as commonly run, and is governed somewhat
by the timber being sawed and the teed carried.
But there are those who want still more hook
than that mentioned above, and their efforts
in this direction have been thwarted in a
measure because the construction of sharpen-
ers has rendered it impossible to further tilt
the head for extra hook, and still have the
machine continue to operate successfully.

In deference to this circumstance, some ma-
chines now give a possible hook of 12 inches, in
12 inches of width or 45 degrees. Moreover, the
construction of the machines renders their oper-
ation equally successful when head is thus set
as when set at a less extreme tilt. Given a
saw properly tensioned and running true on
the wheels when out of the cut, or running
idle, but tending to run back on the wheels, as
soon as it enters the log, it indicates a need of
more hook, and you can increase the hook up
to the point where the saw runs uniform. In
like manner, if saws run ahead of the wheels
when in the cut, it is an indication of too much
hook, and you may properly consider the re-
duction of same.—Packages.

A SUPERIOR FILING ROOM MACHINE,
Sawfiling might truly be called a science, and the
filer an artist, so keen a similarity must there be be-
tween each tooth. “And each tooth must be so accur-
ately and scientifically drawn out that not one tooth
will bind in the log. The teeth must be swaged so as
to give a sharp cutting edge widest at extreme points.
All this could be done to a certain extent by the old
method with hammer and bar. But American ambition
and push demanded quicker and more accurate filing-
room practices, until now every first-class saw mill or
factory has an up-to-date filing room fitted with the
most expensive and best machines that are on the mar-
ket.
One of the first machines the filers began to demand
was a good practical saw swage; but only of lateyears
has athoroughly practical swage been put upon the-

market. Of these the Hanchett swage, manufactured

has perhaps the best claim to superiority. This is not
only shown by a number of other swages having | been |
modeled after it, but it has also several distinct features
that are not duplicated by any other swage in existence.

1st. Take for example a saw that has struck a nail
or other obstruction, and the corners are entirely gone
on one side, or the teeth are broken off, say, 1-16 of an
inch. By pulling the swaging lever over a second
time a fine swage may be obtained and the teeth will
be drawn out as long as the others, while other
swages will bend a short tooth backward and not
swage it at all.

2nd. Take a saw that has just been ground down
and no swage is started. By pulling the swaging | lever
over a second time on say a 14 gauge, a seven or bet-
ter can be obtained, and the saw will grind up even the
first time grinding. With other swages an upset must
be used first, which results in long and short teeth, be-
sides more or less of them will be bent.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

Lumber manufacturers and dealers are
satisfied with the trade of ithe month of
June. While it has been, perhaps, slightly
less in volume than that of the corres-
ponding month last year, conditions ex-
isted this season restricted the
consumption of building lumber. Never_
theless, unsold stocks are smaller than
usual at this season of the year, and the
outlook is for a steady demand at firm
prices. In pine lumber the demand is
running to the lower grades, but this must
be taken as a favorable factor,for the dis-
posal of the comparatively small percent-
age of uppers which is now produced

which

causes mannfacturers no anxiety. If
prices are to advance in relation to the
demand, higher

may be predicted, for the call for this

prices for box lumber

grade is unusually heavy. By many per-
sons it is believed that hemlock lumber
will make new prices in the near future.
It is going into consumption so rapidly as
to warrant a readjustment of prices on a
higher basis. For stock two inches and
thicker there is a very active demand.

The supply of. hardwood lumber is still
short. Dealers have been large buyers of
elm and have picked up basswood
where it could be] found. Maple is also
selling more freely.

Those who are looking for arguments
on which to base predictions of lower
prices for lumber have no abundance of
strong points. The different markets
supplied by the Canadian product are in
a healthy condition, with little probability
of a curtailment of buying power for some
time to come. Should an abundant crop
of grain be harvested in Canada and the
United States, it will probably be reflected
in a strong lumber market.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

The manfacturers of spruce lumber are
in a very comfortable position in respect
to the disposal of their output. The
danger of a large percentage of the log
production being hung up has been les-

sened only slightly by the recent rains.
There promises to be a shortage in the
spruce supply. It is clained that the
demand is larger than ever known at this
season of the year, and that manufacturers
are receiving new orders daily. Many of
these they are compelled to refuse on
account of having their stock sold largely
in advance. There has been heavy buying
in Nova Scotia for the South American
market, the prices for spruce ranging
frrom $14 to $18. Deals are selling at $14
at the mill. The West India trade is also
taking a considerable quantity of stock.
The price of New Brunswick cedar
shingles still holds around $3.40 to $3.50
for extras,on Boston rate of freight. A few
manufacturers are said to be selling even
as low as $3.35, but this cannot be said to
be the market price, while indications
point to an advance in the near future.

UNITED STATES.

Lumber values in the Eastern States are
uncertain, the building strike at New
York having affected outside points. Al-
though rumours of a settlement of this
strike have been circulated, up to the time
of going to press such a result has not
been accomplished. When this end is
reached, however, there will doubtless be
heavy buying of lumber. The general de
mand throughout the United States is fair.
Some dealers report a falling off in the call
for building lumber.
are holding prices up to the notch, being
convinced, apparently,that the entire pro-
duction will find a market. Reports from
Buffalo, Tonawanda and Philadelphia tell
of a remarkable demand for low grade
white pine. Although the new cut is
arriving the supply of the lower grades
does not seem to increase, while it is pre-
dicted that consumption will expand from
this time on. The buying of the higher
grades is confined largely to actual needs.
In the Chicago market piece stuff sells
readily at $16.50 to $17 for strictly short.
Hemlock in cargo lots is said to be slightly
weaker.

Dry hardwood lumber is in better sup-
ply, but prices are still strong. Michigan
oak and ash are held at $30 and $22 re-
spectively. Basswood brings $22 and birch
$20. Log run elm lumber is worth $18 at
the mill. The scarcity of maple continues,
manufacturers having to turn down orders.

The shingle market is still unsettled and
prices as uncertain as ever. The depres-~
sion in red cedar shingles has affected the
entire list. The Logging Men’s Associa-
tion of the Pacific Coast have decided to
close their camps from June goth to Aug-
ust 3rd on account of the accumulation of
shingles, especially of the Washington

GREAT BRITAIN.

The lumber demand in Great Britain, if
anything, shows some improvement, al-
though the market cannot be called active.
Wet weather has restricted the consump-
tion. Shippers ~how no disposition to
lower their asking prices, but on the
other hand, in view of the probability of a
shortage in the Canadian supply, are dis-
posed to raise their quotations. Sentiment
of importers is gradually changing to the
view taken by shippers, namely, that the
cost of production will not permit of selling
lumber at lower prices. Large quantities
of whitewood recently reached the London
market and somewhat upset prices of
spruce, but the condition is again normal
and no further depression is anticipated in
One of the largest im-
porters points out that there is plenty of
room in London for moderate supplies of
whitewood in addition to all the spruce
which is likely to reach that market.

The stock of white pine deals and bat-

Alex. Watson reports that a drive of
logs in which he is interested is hung up
on the St. John river in New Brunswick.

A raft of 30,000 ties reached Wiarton,
Ont., on June 27th.. This is said to be the
largest number ever taken to Wairton by
one tug.

The strike of the employees of the sash

Concerning the Minneapolis lumber

market the American Lumberman says:
‘““The market is in a satisfactory state ;
the stringency in stocks is now overcome
and the trade is somewhat lighter. Con-
ditions are only what is expected at this
time. The general situation is good and
crop prospects warrant belief in a good
falltrade. The advance in hemlock di-
mension is maintained and white pine dim-
ension promise to be as scarce as ever.
From all reports the mills continue to
slight dimension, which shou'd command
the present list prices without any trouble.”

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN. )

Inquiry made to-day in local lumber
offices fails to show any changes in Ot-
tawa district lumber prices since last let-
ter, so that present quotations stand.
There has been comparatively little change
Dealers still profess an in-
ability to secure stocks at prices that will
insure them a return on their money. The
unsettled state of the New York lumber
market continues to give
cause for vexation on account of the delay
in shipments that is caused. A couple of
times a settlement of the labor difficulties
in Gotham has been reported, but the pot
still seems to be boiling.

Around the mills all is activity, and with
a good supply of logs laid over from last
season’s drives the saws are piling up lots
of lumber. The first of the pine will not
be ready for market before the first of
August. While a scarcity of labor is re-
ported at some of the mills, there have
been no strikes since the Hawkesbury
affair in April.

Reports show that the log drives are

drought,
have helped them out towards the main

streams. It is now practically assured
that the big end of the log cut of 1902-
1903 will reach the mills this season. This
being the case, there should be no let up
in sawing operations on account of sHort-
age in log supply. The first of the cut of
logs of the season 1902-1903 have already
arrived at the mills. Rafts have beén re-

ceived at their mills by the W. C. Edwards .

Company, the Hawkesbury Lumbet Com-
pany and Mr. J. R. Booth.

On the Petawawa river alone Mr. J. R.
Booth has fully 50,000 logs. The Hawkes-
bury Lumber Company's drive off the
Dumoine came out into the main stream
last week. Other firms are doitig equally
well, noticeably the MacLarens, of Buck-
ingham, who have everything well in hand
on the Lievre.

The square timber is behaving itself
nicely, in fact the first rafts have already
reached Ottawa, but this was taken off
one of the Gillies limits convenient to the
Reports show that the
other squaretimber rafts not being handled
over the C. P. Railway ‘are many miles
distant from the Capital. However, tak-
ing all in all, natural conditions could not
be very much better, and the lumbermen
have nothing to complain of.

main stream.

Already plans are being made for the
work of 1903-1904. It is expected the
men will be sent into the woods earlier
this year than is usually the case, and it
will be a matter of only a few weeks until
the van guard is on the way. Conditions
promise to be about the satne as they were
last year. The general prosperity will
retain wages on a high plane.

An effort is being made by Mr. J. R.
Booth and Hon. Senator Edwards to have
the recent by-law prohibiting the piling of
lumber in large quantities within the city

limits rescinded. Application to the City -

Council to this eftect has been made, but
it is difficult to say what the outcome will
be. It is pretty safe to say, however,
that the mills will remain whether the piles
goor stay. The by-law, in all probability,
will be modified.

Mr. W. H. McAuliffe, lumber dealer, of
Ottawa, has purchased all the present
season’s cut of spruce at McLachlan Bros.
mill at Arnprior and the St. Anthony Lum-
ber Company’s mill at Whitney. Spruce
is amore rapid drier than pine, and Mr.
McAuliffe’s stock will be ready to ship at
any time now. Mr. McAuliffe’s new plan-
ing mill is well advanced. The roof is
being placed in position, and the mill will
be running in about a month.

Mr. Charles Desmarais, Hull, Que.,
took out a large stock of poles this season.
He has 1,500 on hand 25 feet and upward
in length,7 inch top. These are piled along
the Gatineau and Pontiac lines ready for
prompt shipment.

An old lumberman to-day furnished
some figures which will show the wonder-
ful advances there have been in the past
half century in the price of white pine
square timber. It is selling now at the
port of Quebec at 65 cents a cubic foot,
whereas it went begging for purchasers,
practically, five years ago at 4o cents a
cubic foot. The advance in the past five
years has been almost four times as great
as was the advance in the previous thirty

years, for in 1869 white pine was qu
at Quebec at 33 cents a foot. This leaves
an advance of 7 cents between 1869 and
1898, as against an advance of 25 cents
between 1898 and 1993. Decrease in pro-
duction rather than increase in demand is

probably the reason for this strong ad-_

vance in square timber. This year not
one raft will pass down to Quebec, where
there were tena few years ago, It is
getting more difficult, asthe years pass
by, and the cutting increases, to secure
Canadian white pine suitable for decking.
Late reports, contrary to general ex-
pectations, show that forest fires during
the recent long drought played havoc in
standing timber on some of the Ontario
limits. In the vicinity of Des Jonctions,
in the Black river section of the U;
Ottawa country, standing timber ame

lent to fully 500,000 logs was burned
through. This was on one of Mr. J. R.

ing large stores of supplies, were also de-—

stroyed. Itis expected that part of the
standing timber that was scorched can be

sawed, providing it is felled before the

worms get in their insidious work.

Mr. Wm. Hutcheson, ex M. P., Cana-
dian Commissioner to the Exposition held
at Osaka, Japan, states that the British
Columbia,or Douglas fir, as it is comm
called, is received in great favor in the
Orient and in Manilla. Experiments made
on Government contracts in Manilla have
shown that the Douglas fir is the only
wood which will stand weather and insect
ravages. For this reason it has been

selected, although disguised under the
name of Oregon fir.

Some years ago Charles Merrill & Com-

tract of pine timber in the Lake of the
Woods district, estimated to contain about
100,000,000 feet. They are reported to
have just sold the timber to Canadian
parties for $400,000, which is said to show
a handsome profit on the investment.

THE BOSTON MARKET.

Spriice lumber continues in a very firm
position, owing toa light supply, notwith-
standing the interruption to business still
being felt from the strikes in the building
trade. Shippers at the eastern mills com-
plain of car shortage, which delays ship-
ments seriously. Prices are steady and
unchanged: Ten and 12 in. dimensions,
$21; gin. and under, $19; 10 and 12 in.
random lengths, 10 feet and up, $20.50;
2%3) 2X4, 2X5, 2x6, 2X7 and 3x4, 10 feet
and up, $17 to $17.50; all other randoms,
gin. and under, 10 feet and up, $18 to
$18.50; 5 in. and up, merchantable boards,
$17; matched boards, $18 50 to $20; out
spruce boards, $13 to $14; bundle furring,
$17.

There isa quiet demand for hemlock
lumber, with prices steady as last quoted :
Boards, 62, 14 and 16 feet stock, $15 for
good eastern; Pennsylvania, No. 1, $18.50
to $19.50; No. 2, $15 to $16.50.

Western pine lumber is quiet here,
though the movement in the West is active.
Prices are steady: Uppers, 3 to 2 in. $84
to $87 ; 2% to 3 in. $92 to 97 ; 4-in. $96 to
$100; selects, 1-in. $76; 14 to 134 in. $76
to $78 ; 2-in. $78 ; 2% to 3 in. $84; 4-in.
$86; fine common, 1-in. $67; 14 to 1% in.
$69; 2-in. $72; 2% to3 im. $80; 4-in. $82 ;
barn boards, $23 to $33; coffin boards,
$28 to $32.

Clapboards are steady and unchanged :

Extra, $45; clear, $43 ; second clear, $40 5
extra No. 1, $30.

Quartered oak is very firm with an active
demand. Whitewood is a. little easier,
though not yet quotably lower. Other
hardwoods are steady: Quartered oak,

75 to $83; plain oak, $45 to $47; com-
mon and rejects, $20 to $25; red oak, plain,

THE WHITE PINE MARKET.

Within the past few weeks a number of
expressions of uneasiness regarding the
future of the white pine market in the
United States have been heard, and the
opinion has gained some currency that the
market was on the verge of a break. For
the purpose of finding out just what is the

sentiment among the manufacturers of the
north, the secretary of the Mississippi
Valley Lumbermen’s Association sent outa
circular to the members of that organiza-
tion requesting their views on the present
situation and what they thought of the
future trade. In another circular sent out
this week are a few replies chosen at
random and covering the several markets
of the white pine section. So far as the
opininos expressed are cuncerned they all
have been written by one man. Tiey are
unanimous in expressing no apprehension
for the future. All report that trade is
fully as good as they have any reason to
expect. Most of them are doing more
business than they were at this time last
year, and all of them would be shipping
more lumber were the stock available with
which to fill orders. Most of the replies
express surprise that there should be any

feeling of weakness. A number report
getting better than list on several items on
the list. It is agreed that a number of the
heavy buyers have been attempting to
bear the market, but the general opinion
is that this effort will not meet with mater-

ial success.

A NOTABLE SAWING EVENT.

The following notice, clipped from the Southland
Daily News, published at Invercargill, New Zealand, is
an interesting account of some sawing contests in which
the world-famous Atkins saws played an important part.
As usual theprize winners of the Championship Contests
used Atkins saws, thus again demonstrating the fact
that ‘‘ Atkins is Always Ahead.”

“The Axemen’s Carnival, which was held at Inver-
cargill, New Zealand, on April 13th, 1903, was a notable
event, there being sawing and chopping contests;
bicycle and foot races, as well as other athletic sports
indulged in.

“The gathering of the axemen and sawyers was
perhaps as fine as has been seen anywhere, comprising
the leading men in both lines, from Australia, Tasmania,
and the provinces of New Zealand. Intense interes:
centered in Thomas Pettit, the world’s champion, who
competed with great success in the sawing events,
annexing the champion single-handed, and with H.
Mitchell, the champion double. He saws with beautiful
action and immense force, and the Atkins saw used by
him simply ploughed its way through the blocks. Con-
sidering that Pettit has had very little training for the
matches, his performance must stamp him as undoubt-
edly the foremost man of the first rank of sawyers.

“Another distinguished competitor was Herb
Mitchell, ex-xhampion of New Zealand, who is well
_ and popular known all over the island.

* For the championship single-handed sawing contest,

E. C. Atkins & Company, the well known saw manu-
facturers of Indianapolis, Indiana, U.S. A., through
their Australian representative, Mr. C. Cullen, donated
$50. The first prize of $25, and championship gold
medal, was won by Thomas Pettit ; S. Fisher took
second prize, $15 ; and Edward Tobin third prize, $10.

Both Pettit and Fisher used Atkins saws. Pettit’s
time was one minute-48-2/5 seconds.
In the double-handed sawing contest, Thomas

Pettit and H. Mitchell won the first prize of $25, two
gold medals and two saws. It was a splendid exhi-
bition of the sawyer’s art. Pettit and his mate got to
work with a wonderful swing of rapidity and ease, and
sent their Atkins saw through the 24” red pine log jn
the surprising time of 32 3-5 seconds.”

BELTING FOR LUMBERMEN.

The Dominion Belting Company, Limited, of Hauil-
ton, Canada, dre the latest in the field with belting
especially adapted to the use of mills. Itis a stitched
oiled cotton duck belting, the steadily increasing de-
mand for which has encouraged, the company to erect
a most up-to-date factory at Hamilton for its manu-
facture.

Their plant is now in operation, with a capacity of
turning out six thousand feet of belting daily. The
guarantee of the company is that their belting will
give entire satisfaction, and that it is unaffected by
air, atmosphere, steam, heat or acid fumes.

This belting is constructed from raw material
wholly of Canadian production, and the company
claim to be thus enabled to make prices much below
the cost of importation.

It is their intention to use nothing but the very best
duck made especially from their own formula, and this
duck will be treated with a special preparation known
only to their superintendent and perfected by him after
an experience of 20 years in the business.

By the use of this duck and process, they promise to
supply a belt equal to anything yet placed on the
market as regards tensile strength, pliability, weight
and freedom from stretching.

The president of this new Canadian company is Mr.
John J. McGill, a gentleman well and favorably known
in the highest financial and business circles.

Advertising, like the water that runs the mill,
be kept constantly flowing.—White’s Sayings.

BALANCING PLANER KNIVES.

e When the heads of a wood planer of any kind
that is intended to plane or surface wide boards
are made, they are balanced so as to prevent
vibration at high speeds, and the knives are
the same size and weight, so that when a head
is set up it runs smoothly. When the knives
become dull they are taken out, put on a wet
emery grinder and made sharp again; but more
material must be removed from some than
others, therefore when put back the head ts out
of balance.

In order to remedy this evil the knives are
taken off and weighed, after which the heavier
one is taken to the drill press, or to a lathe if
no drill press is available, and holes bored in it
until it will balance the other when put on a
pair of scales or balances.

These knives may be twenty-four inches long,
and when started up again may produce interior
lumber, because it is not planed smoothly.
This shows mainly that the head is not perfectly
balanced, although the knives are of usual
weight, causing an inexperienced operator to
wonder what causes the trouble. Now, if these
knives were cut in two and the halves of each
pair weighed and compared, it would be plain
that both ends of the head were out of balance,
when considered separately, hence the trouble.

Of cours2 it is not practical to cut these
knives in two, but they may be made perfect by
balancing each separately, although that may
seem to be an inconsistent statement. It may

in the same way we know that no more trouble
will result from that source ; but the two knives
: must now be put on the balances again and
made to weigh alike, as already described.
: It is necessary, however, during this process
) to remove an equal amount of material from
both ends of the heavy knife, in order to main-
tain the individual balance. We are well aware
of the fact that it is difficult to follow the above
directions for this process, because giving the
knives individual balance disturbs the collective

cases, for it is not, but where imperfect lumber
is produced, lack of it may be, and frequently
is, the cause of it.

This applies to long knives only, because
short ones are not affected by it enough to be
noticeable. When knives of this kind are new
they are usually the same weight throughout
their length and they may be kept so by careful
attention to the grinding process, tor if the in-
dividual or separate balance is correct, but the
pair do not agree,the heavy one may be put back
in the grinder and another cut taken off from it
over its entire length. It is not easy to strike
it just right in this way, but a little practice
will enable the operator to do good work along
this line.

should be taken to bore the same on both ends
of the knife. Of course these holes should not
extend entirely through the blade, as that would
weaken it unduly, but by using a flat drill
ground to an obtuse angle, or, in other words,
one that is made blunt, the holes will be large,
thus removing a considerale material without
going entirely through.—The Tradesman.

THIN CIRCULARS FOR LOG SAWING.*
_ ByJ.H. MINER, Lumberton, Miss.

Much attention is now being paid to thinner
saws by practical millmen. Economy more
fully asserts itself each year and millmen are
beginning to draw the line more closely. Be-
fore the band saw was fully introduced it was
condemned by ninety-nine out of a hundred.
But thin bands or thin circulars are no longer
an experiment and some fast circular mills

have used nothing heavier than 10 gauge for

years. True, they have been tried by many
without success, but the fault was not in the
saw.

The day is coming when 12 gauge saws will
cut 50,000 feet per day. I received a letter
recently from a prominent filer in Arkansas
stating that he had cut 78 lines, 16 feet long,
12 inches deep of good lumber with a 10 gauge
saw ins minuies. But under the same treat-
ment that go per cent. of the thick saws get,
not one could expect a thin saw to be a success
even on a smaller output. The fact is that
there are but few men who get out of the

There are several essentials. 1

demonstrates that it can be done.

To be a Success,
thin saws must be run ata high speed, must
have an absolutely solid, steady running mand-
rel,plenty of power,and a good filer and sawyer.
A thin saw is more sensitive than a thick one,
and under like circumstances the thin saw can-
not be expected to do as much work.

Suppose that the millman who is satisfied
with 50,000 feet from his 6 or 7 gauge saws,
run at a standard speed, would put in a 1o
gauge 60 inch saw with roo teeth and speed
this saw to 1,000 revolutions, and could get a
practical sawyer and filer that could and would
run it, he would, to his surprise, increase his
cut with a considerable saving in saw kerf. If
the man that contemplates a new mill, and
wants 50,000 to 75,000 feet per day, would put
in 72 inch by 12 gauge saws, with not less than
119 teeth, with speed 1,100 and a 12 inch cyl-
inder feed, to my mind he would have the most
economical mill that could be built. There are
many who are ready to assert that this is too
high a speed and that the steel will not stand
this strain. This is a mistake, for saws have
been run successfully at this speed. The great-
est drawback in introducing thin saws is to get
filers who can fit them properly. The filer and
sawyer must work in unison. All prejudice
and personal feeling must be laid aside, both

working solely to the employer’s interest, in- ’

stead of one or the other seeking to work to
the other’s disadvantage, which is sometimes
done in a manner so intricate that the most

practical foreman cannot detect where the
trouble is.

In running thin circulars the tension must
be absolutely uniform and in exactly the proper
place. There is a vast diversity of opinion.
about where the exact location of the tension
should be, but practical filers do not disagree
on this point. A variation of 1-1000 of an inch
in the drop of any high speed saw will take 2
inches feed from it ; that is, adjust that 1-1000__
of aninch and the saw will stand 2 inches ©
more feed.

A high speed saw can be accurately ham- —
mered only by the use of a gauge properly
curved, and the saw must be hammered until
it shows no light under the gauge. It will
then be practically all uniform, and so far as ©
tension goes, in perfect condition to run.

The utmost care must be exercised in the ke
temper of high-speed thin saws. If it is not
uniform then the saw will be thrown out of
tension at its speed, no matter how perfectly
balanced. It will astonish any practical man
that uses the straight edge how much he can
improve either bands, circulars or band resaws
with a tension gauge of the proper curve. I
could not get a saw at high-speed anywhere © a
near uniform without one. There is no esti-
mating what a high-speed, perfectly hammered
saw will do on a quick rig with a good
sawyer. At the same speed the thick saw
would certainly do more work than the thin. I
refer to mills maintaining their present output
with thin saws. No one wants to decrease his
cut, for what would be gained in one way
would be lost in another. I am just in receipt
of a letter from a saw company wanting to
sendag or 10 gauge 60-inch saw here on
trial. We are now using 8-gauge, 56-inch, 96
teeth, and don’t think we can hold the cut at
100,000 feet per day with thinner saws. If I
could increase our speed from 925 to 1 a I
would try the thinner saws.

This is an item in every up-to-date mill
where trimmers and gang slashers are used.
The public have had much to read in the trade
papers about broken cut-off saws, but I find
that the secret is in but one thing principally,
and that is in giving them more set. They
should be filled or ground square in front, with
pitch line to centre, with the back beveled.
This makes beyond a doubt the best tooth for
a cut-off saw, swing or stationary. Each
tooth is a cutter and a raker. If the reader
doubts this, just fit up one saw and that will
convince him. Large cut-off saws should be
left a little slack on the rim, sufficient not to —
wave while in motion. Cut-off saws should
be at least one gauge heavier than the standard. __
This will add no more in price or in power to —

saw. Ihave never seen a cut-off saw ae 2
was not abused ; getting pinched or twisted.
Keep them share file square in front and with

machinery where subject to strain. Short

| __- FEEDING WORK HORSES.
o: The horse has a smaller stomach than an ox,
and consequently must be fed less at a time.
It has less power to digest coarse foods, It
eats much slower, as it must do all its chewing
before the food is swallowed. For these reasons
it requires a longer time to eat, and its food
should be more concentrated. It wants only a
little coarse food at atime. Most people feed
too much rather than too little, especially of
hay. According to the tables of standard ration
prepared by the German investigators, a 1,000
pound horse requires 11.4 pounds of digestible
‘food daily when doing moderate work, 13.6
inds for average work, and 16.6 pounds for
avy work. With a basal ration of 10 pounds
hay, the grain needed to furnish the above
u antities of digestible nutriments, when con-
ting of a mixture in equal parts of corn and
would be approximately 11.5 pounds, 15
ds and 20 pounds for three sorts of labor.
lard, who made observatigns covering a
mber of years with 32,000 omnibus,army,and
horses, came to the conclusion that a
> performing ordinary work requires at the
of 1,215 pounds of digestible nutriments
100 pounds of live weight. This is equi-
it to 12.1 pounds of digestible food daily
a 1,000 pound horse, a quantity not incon-
istent with the German standard.

real grains will be found sufficiently rich

satisfactory roughage, but bright, clean clover
is excellent for idle horses and colts, and re-
quires very little grain in addition to form a
suitable ration.
SOME SAMPLE RATIONS.

Some good rations for 1,000 pound horses
at moderate work are suggested by Jordan :—

1. 10 lbs. timothy or mixed hay, 11% lbs.
oats.

2. 10 lbs. hay, 10% Ibs. oats and barley,
equal parts by weight.

3. to lbs. hay, 8 lbs. oats, 4 lbs. brewers’
grains.

4. 10 lbs. hay, 8 lbs. oats, 4 lbs. wheat bran.

5- 11 lbs. hay, 3% Ibs. corn, 4 lbs. wheat
bran, 4 lbs. brewers’ grains.

6. 10 lbs. hay, 5 lbs. corn, 4% lbs. barley.

7- 10 lbs. hay, 5 lbs. corn, 6% lbs. wheat
bran.
8. 10 Ibs. hay, 5 lbs. corn, 6 lbs. brewers’

grains.

g. 10 lbs. hay, 4% Ibs. barley, 4 lbs. wheat
bran, 3 lbs, brewers’ grains.

Silage, roots and other green tood may often
be substituted for a minor part of the hay with
advantage to the animals’ appetite and health.

Where the work is harder the amount of
grain in the ration should be increased ; but
the amount of hay should remain stationary.
The increase in feed should be greater propor-
tionately than the increase in the amount of
work done, and asa general rule old horses
should be fed better than young ones. That
judgment which comes of experience will al-
ways be a safer guide than any mechanical rule
for feeding, but this is certain, however, what-
ever feeding stuffs are used, and whatever or-
der of feeding is adopted, regularity and uni-
formity should at all times prevail in both feed-
ing and watering. If water is always available,
a horse will not take too much to injure him-
selve, but with working horses it will always
be found better to give them their regular and
largest supply previous to feeding, and it may
also be well to supply a limited supply after
feeding. When much heated or fatigued a
horse should have water only in small quan-
tities.

The Arabs have a proverb :—‘‘Rest and fat
are the greatest enemies ofthe horse.” Hard
labor or an abundance of exercise should go
hand in hand with heavy feeding, and when
a period of idleness comes for the horse the
grain ration should be cut down one half at
least, or even withdrawn altogether where the
fodder is particularly good quality.

Some years ago the W. C. Edwards Com-
pany, of Rockland, Ont., adopted a system of
feeding their horses which has proved very
satisfactory. Mr. Edwards gives the followiag
description of it : ‘‘We employ say forty horses
about our mills here in the summer season.
In the rear of our stables we have a feed room,
where cut straw for bedding and our cut hay,

oats and ground feed are kept ; here we have —

two mixing boxes, where the rations for the
horses are mixed before feeding ; the cut hay
is.put into these boxes and is thoroughly soak-
ed with water 12 hours before it is fed. The
ground feed is mixed dry and before feeding is
thoroughly mixed with the wet hay. The ra-
tions we started out with was 4 lbs. cut hay,

ANADA LUMBERMAN . s

¥ \b. bran and 5 lbs. ground oats and arley
to each horse night and morning, and 4 lbs.
Gry oats at noon only. Our horses are gener-
ally of large size, and are doing excessively
hard work, and we found this ration too small
for them and gradually increased it cntil we
settled down to this :—5 lbs. hay, 5 lbs. ground
grain, and % lb. of bran to each horse morn-
ing and night, and 8 lbs, of dry oats at noon only
(no hay), and this we find ample for the larg-
est horse doing the most excessive work. Our
saving is at least 10 lbs. of hay per day for
each horse, and 6 Ibs. of grain for each. Not
only is this the case, but our horses are health-
Under the old
system it was a common thing for us to lose
from one to five horses every summer with col-

and inflammation, but in the past seven
summers under our new system not only have
we not lost one horse, but we have not hada
sick horse. A much smaller ration than we
feed would be ample for farm horses, or for
any horses doing ordinary work. We may add,
also, that with this system of feeding hay, to-
gether with the free use of wheat, bran anda
little ground oats mixed with it, we find we
can develop colts in a manner that we have
never seen them developed before.”

THE BURRARD INLET FLUME & BOOM
COMPANY, LIMITED.

This company owns a large amount of cedar
timber in the Capilano Valley of British
Columbia, commencing at the Vancouver city
water works dam (which is 7 miles from tide
water on Vancouver Harbor) and extending up
Capilano river about 4 or 5 miles.

The timber will be brougt down to salt water
on Burrard Inlet (Vancouver Harbor) by build-
a flume about 4% miles long, and utilizing the
river for the balance of the distance.

The company has a water record from the
Provincial Government for diverting the neces-
sary water from the Capilano river for opera-
tion of the flume, and under the Rivers and
Streams Act they have been given control of the
Capilano river, whereby they may clean out
and improve the river, build the necessary
retaining booms at its mouth and be allowed to
charge a toll to other parties who may wish to

use the river—toll to be fixed by a judge of the
court. ©

The company has also permission from the
Dominion Government to use a portion of the
. Indian Reservation at the mouth of the Capilano
river to make the necessary shore fastenings for
their booms, as well as for other purposes in
connection The flume
is being built principally for carrying shingle
bolts, but will be large enough and straight
enough to carry long bolts—12 to 18 feet long.
It will be constructed V shape, 24 inches deep
and made of 2-inch plank.

SOME FACTS ABOUT CHECKS.

Bank checks possess many advantages for
the conduct of business, and are used to a
proportionately great extent. They are in
nature but orders for the payment of money,
and are payable in the order in which they are
presented, not according to that in which they
are drawn, says C. E. Locke in an exchange.
As given in the usual course of business, they
do not constitute payment of the indebtedness
tor which they are given until paid. Nor will
the concurrent receipting of the debts for which
they are given change this. If they are not
paid on proper presentation, resort may be had
to the orignal claims. The rule is different in
this respect as to certified checks. The hav-
ing of checks certified constitutes payment as
to the persons drawing them.

Checks should be dated. If not dated at all,
and they do not contain any statement as to
when they are to be paid, they are never payable.
They may be ante or post-dated, as well as
dated on the day of delivery. By being ante-
dated they may be made to cover prior trans-

_actions, and in a measure determine the relative

rights of the parties to them, provided that no
Post-dating in the
main determines the date of payment.

When post-dated so as to fall due on Sunday,
they are payable on the following Monday.

fraud is intended or done.

Checks post-dated or maturing on legal holi-
days should be presented the day following.
When post-dated checks are paid before the
dates mentioned, the money paid on them can
be recovered. If blanks are left for the date,
the holder of checks are thereby authorized to
insert the true dates of delivery, but no other
dates, and if they insert any other date it makes
the checks void. Changing the date of checks

without consent of the drawers will do the same. .

The presumption is that when checks are
drawn, funds will be provided at the bank on
which they are drawn to meet them, but
presentation for payment must be made within
If not so presented, the
holders will be charged with any consequent
loss. When persons receiving checks and the
banks on which they drawn are in the same
place, they should be presented the same day,
or, at the latest, the day after they are received.
Where they are in different places, the checks
must be mailed to some bank or person at the
place where payable before the close of the day
following any receipt, and the latter must
present them before the close of the banking
hours on the day following the receipt there ;
no extra time will be gained by holders deposit-
ing checks in their own banks for collection.

a reasonable time.

After duly presenting. checks, it is also the
duty of the holder, if they are not paid, to
notify the drawers before the close of the next
secular day following the presentation and
dishonor. No particular form of notice is
required. It may be writtenor verbal. The
principal case in which losses occur from failure
to use due diligence in the collection of checks
is where the banks on which they are drawn
fail in the meantime. If the banks continue
solvent, the drawers will remain liable to pay
their checks for months at least after they.

funds to pay ee and where the banks on
which they are drawn suspend payment before
they can be presented, using proper diligence.
After receiving checks, they must be presented
for payment, unless such presentation would be
useless before the orignal claims can be sued
on, for, by accepting checks, there is an implied
agreement to use that method of procuring the
money for which they are drawn.

When checks are negotiable and pass by
indorsement or delivery, the same degree of
diligence will be required of each person to
whom they are indorsed, in order to hold those
indorsing them, as is required of original
payees to hold original drawers of checks.
But by putting checks in circulation, the
liability of the drawers cannot be prolonged.
They must be presented within the same time
by indorsees as by payees.

THIN HEADING SAWS.

A word as to my experience in running thin
saws. The saws furnished with our machine
were I5-gauge at rim, 38-inch saws, but we
stil! could not endure the waste of kerf. Then
an 18-gauge was tried and was found to work
well. So the 18-gauge was ordered to be
ground 18-gauge at a distance of 3 inches from
the edge. The maker misunderstood the order
and tapered it from 18 to 21. This saw worked
well in soft wood at 34-inch feed, cutting about
40 to 43 pieces of 18-inch stock to the minute.
It had 136 teeth. Had it contained about 200,
I believe it would have sawed hardwood. A
22-inch collar was used. This collar caused
much trouble ; would usually split the wood ;
in nearly every piece about 10 inches would be
checked or broken through. Then a saw was
ordered 40 inches indiameter; 24 inches of the
center, or a radius of 12 inches, was 6-gauge,
then tapered to 1744-gauge to a distance of 1%
inches from the rim, and the rim straight for
1¥% inches ; 17% gauge with 150 teeth. This
saw has worked satisfactorily in all kinds of
timber and winter weather, pin oak, second-
growth, white oak, etc., and is cutting at an
average of 46 pieces a minute in a 10-block
machine. A very thin saw can be used, provid-
ing it is made right, and the more teeth the more
feed can be cut. Some manufacturers do not
give shingle or heading saws enough tension.
A saw that is used with heavy feed must have
all the tension that can be given it, and kept
tuned up frequently. Our saw is fitted toa
15-inch collar. — Correspondence Coopers’

HOO-HOO HOUSE AT ST. LOUIS.

There was a meeting in St. Louis, Mo., on
June 17th, of the Board of Governors of the
House of Hoo-Hoo, which was called for the
purpose of reviewing the work thus far done
and to outline plans for the future. The re-
port of the secretary showed that about 3,000
members are still needed to complete the mem-
bership list, and he was instructed to use all
possible haste in completing his part of the
work. All reports show that very satisfactory
progress has been made in all departments and
this indication favors a more complete success
to the project than was at first contemplated,
as the idea is growing and new methods of in-

creasing the benefits of cvonibaeaeaeet ‘are con-
stantly being added. Applications from ma ny
associations of manufacturers have been re=
ceived for rooms to be finished with hee
products and nearly all of the rooms in the
building are now taken; in fact, such success
has crowned the efforts in this direction that
the building promises to be a more complete
exposition of the commercial woods of the
United States than was at first anticipated.
The secretary was instructed to try and com-
plete the membership list during the next sixty
days, and this is entirely within reason, in view
of the number of members applying durin
the past thirty days. Great progress is
made and it is advisable for those conte
ing joining this club to no longer postpe
action on the matter, but to join at once.

Rapid progress is being made with the new works of
the Owen Sound Iron Company at Owen Sound, Ont.
The main building will be 337 feet long. South of the
main building will be the boiler shop, 34 x 49 feet, while
the box shed facing Water street will be 31 x 72 feet,
There will be a pattern storage building 52 x 34 feet
and a pattern shop 35 x 20 feet, two-storeys high. The
company will install its own electric light plant.

The Capstan Manufacturing Company, 30 Jarvis
street, Toronto, have secured some very large orders
from lumbermen for the supply of the lumber camps
with mince-meats, baking powder, spices, extracts, etc.
for the next season. This company is doing quite a
large business in the supply line and are now filling:
orders for coffees, mustards, flavoring extracts, sauer
kraut and sausage meats. The particular neat and
clean manner in which the goods are put up is in
marked contrast to the years when ‘any old thing ”
was good enough for a lumber camp.

There is no better evidence of the satisfaction which
the ‘‘A B C” kilns give than the fact that the American
Blower Company are continually in receipt of dupli-
cate orders from their customers. We recently noted
in our columns that they were furnishing another lot of
kilns to the Mengel Box Company, of Louisville. Still an-
other order from these people is now upen the books of
the Detroit concern, as well as an order fora duplicate
kiln from the Otter Creek (Fla.) Lumber Company, for
whom they installed a kiln a short time since. The
Walsh Mfg. Company, of Frederic, Mich., and the Tuna
Mfg. Company, of Bradford, Pa., have also ordered
“ABC” kilns.

CRAIG MINE CRYSFAL CORUNDUM WHEELS

Our Pure Crystal Corundum Saw Gummers have
no equal for their rapid, cool, cutting properties.

Read the following from Bulletin 180 of the United States Geological Survey, which says :
“Often a distinction is made between emery and corundum, many persons not recognizing emery as a variety of

corundum. ; :

Emery is a mechanical admixture of corundum and magnetite or hematite. It is, of course, the presence
of corundum in the emery that gives to it its abrasive qualities and makes it of commercial value, and the abrasive
efficiency of emeries varies according to the percentage of corundum they contain.”

Emery is imported, mined by Greeks and Turks and contains only about 25%

corundum, Our Crystal Corundum is guaranteed to be 98% pure alumina, a Can-
adian product, mined and manufactured by Canadians for Canadians.

THE PULP INDUSTRY OF QUEBEC."
By F. W. EvANSs.

For the economical production of pulp three
things are, virtually necessary, an abundant
supply of spruce, never failing water powers,
and good shipping facilities. The province of
Quebec possesses them all: Our black and
white spruce forests are larger than those of
any other country in the world, in fact the
only two that can be compared with it are the
United States and Scandinavia, and both these,
more particularly the United States, are rapid-
ly depleting their wood supply, while the
province of Quebec has enormous areas which
are practically untouched. The failure of the
wood supply in the United States, however,
constitutes a danger to this country. American
paper mill owners, realizing the possibility of
a curtailment and even a stoppage of their
supply of raw materials, have been looking
across the border for relief, and in addition to
purchasing wood from jobbers, have been
buying up immense areas of timber limits,
building mills for sawing and peeling the
wood, and are shipping it by rail or boat to
their mills across the line. To the casual ob-
server this appears a desirable business—to
sell our wood and at the same time clear our
lands, and prepare them for the plough, but
such a conclusion is very superficial. Pulp-
wood exported as such represents a value of
about $4.00 per cord to the Canadian, the
manufactured here into
is worth about

same cord of wood if
a ton of mechanical pulp
$12, a large part of which is for labor. A
ton of chemical pulp requires two cords of
wood, and is worth about $30.09. If therefore
the pulpwood exported last year to the United
States had been manufactured into mechanical
pulp, the province would have been over $3,000,-

ooo richer, and the gain would have been still
greater if made into chemical pulp. Nor is the
loss sustained by the country in exporting raw
material instead of more or less finished goods
the only one. Canada is endeavoring to sell
pulp and paper to Great Britian particularly,
and in a less degree to Germany and France,
the Americans are trying to do the same, and
are therefore competitors in the same market—
we are to-day supplying them with raw mater-
ial to produce the pulp and paper to compete
with us. But even this is not all, this industry
in the United States is practically a huge com-
bine and their policy is to limit the amount of
paper and pulp on the home market to a
specified quantity and slaughter the balance in
foreign countries ; so that the Canadian manu-
facturer often has the mortification of seeing
American-made paper and pulp for which the
raw material has been furnished by Canada,
going to Europe, perhaps in the very same

steamer as his own, to undersell him in that
market.

There are in the United States at present
255 pulp mills, mechanical and chemical, pro-
ducing daily some 8,450 tons, or over two and
a half million tons per annum. This means a
consumption of about 13,000 cords of wood
daily, or nearly four million cords per annum.
Of this it is computed that the province of Que-
bec furnished last year about 400,000 cords,
and this will be nearly doubled in 1903. It is,
however, most difficult to get accurate figures of
the quantity and value of pulpwood exported
annually, as the government returns are use-
less, much of the wood going out as cord
wood. Some idea of the rapidity with which
the wood lands are being denuded of timber
may be gained when we consider that the con-
sumption of wood in the United States last
year for the production of pulp would have
taken the timber from an area of over 1,100
miles, for a width of over three miles, and this
consumption is rapidly increasing.

In spite of the lack of assistance in this.
direction from successive governments, whether
Conservative or Liberal, the pulp industry has
grown very rapidly in the province of Quebec.
In 1880 there were a few scattered mills whose
combined output did not exceed 9,000 tons per
annum, and of which the only ones of any im-
portance were those of the Canada Paper Com-
pany and W. & F. P. Currie, now the Domin-
ion Paper Company. To-day there are in the
province 27 mills, the estimated output of
which is about 280,000 tons per annum.

Here, then, is an industry which in twenty-
three years has increased from an output of
9,000 tons to over 280,000 tons, which when
the mills now projected or under construction
are completed will reach over 330,000, and yet
is only really in its infancy when its future
possibilities are considered. 1901 Great
Britain imported one Lalf million tons of pulp
valued at eleven and three quarter million dol-
lars, of which Canada furnished 13 per cent.,
or just exactly double the proportion we had
exported there two years previously. The
United States in the same year took from us
51,000 tons, valued at $1,635,000, and we ap-
pear to have furnished about 79 per cent.
their total import of wood pulp.
to other countries were inconsiderable, total-
ling only about $65,000. It would, therefore,
appear that we have in Great Britain an un-
limited market for wood pulp, for if the whole
output of the mills now operating and under
construction in the province of Quebec were ship-
ped there, we should only be furnishing about
6o per cent. of her imports, and as I have al-
ready shown that Canada, and more particu-
larly this province, has all the requirements for
the production ot the best pulp at the lowest

possible price, we should take every means to

PULP AND PULP WOOD DUTIES.
Apparently the pulp trade have decided not
to accept as final the decision of the Board of
Classification of the United States General i
Appraisers rendered March 23rd last. The :
Board on that date upheld the action of Ameri-
can customs officials in levying a countervail- —
ing duty on wood pulp imported from the
province of Quebec. F. W. Meyers & Com-
pany, of Rouse’s Point, N. Y., representing —
wood pulp interests of the United States and
Canada, engaged H.J. Cockinham, of Utica, to :
bring the question before the Board of Apprais-
ers for review. At the hearing a few days ago
he submitted evidence which he maintained
warranted the Board in modifying its former
decision sufficiently to hold that pulp wood ut
on private lands in Quebec should be exempted —
from a countervailing duty when imported into —
the United States. Mr. Russell, of the Lau
entide Pulp Company, Grand Mere, Que, :
said that about 52 per cent. of the pulp ane
used by his company was cut on Crown lands
and the rest on private lands. The Board w
render a decision shortly. . ‘“
Rossed pulp wood is the subject of a dispute 2
between the importers thereof and the United ©
States Treasury Department. On a quantit 1
of rossed or peeled wood recently imported | 4
from Canada by the Remington-Martin Paper a
Company, of Norfolk, N. Y., the collector :
levied a duty of 35 per. cent., he doing so, it
said, under instructions from the Treasury De-_
partment at Washington. The action aroused —
the pulp and paper manufacturers of northern ;
<=
New York, who appointed a committee to py
pare and forward to the Treasury Departmen
a statement of the position of the aie
turers in the matter. Heretofore pulp wood in -
all conditions has been imported free of duty. tg
The imposition of a duty would indicate tha i
the rossing of pulp wood is considered a pro- Af)
cess of manufacture. Should the action of the i
customs officer be confirmed it will add about —
$3 a ton to the cost of producing paper.
Since the above was written the Treasury
Department has issued an order directing that
Canadian rossed wood be admitted free of —
duty until otherwise ordered.

their intention to eventually engage in paper making,

as experience has shown that there is little or no money
in pulp where a long haul is involved.

The formation of a chemical wood pulp syndicate in
Austria-Hungry is still engaging attention. The idea
is to reduce production and advance prices. Some
opposition is being shown by paper makers, who have
petitioned for a concession to erect pulp factories of
their own.

It is reported that the Newfoundland Timber Estates
Company, in which B. F. Pearson, of Halifax, and H.
M. Whitney, of Boston, are interested, will at once
construct a pulp mill of 100 tons capacity daily on the
line of the Reid Railway in Newfoundland, where the
timber limits are situated. Several saw mills may also
be erected.

A British patent relating to an improved drying felt
for paper machines has been granted to E. Rudiger.
The distinguishing feature is that felts are made in the
form of double fabric, the upper welt consisting of soft
spun yarn capable of being milled, while tor the lower
welt firm yarns are used which have as little capacity
of extension as possible, and which may be furnished
with a special strengthened lining.

The Pentecost timber limits, situated on the north
shore of the St. Lawrence river, a few miles west of
the Seven Islands, have been acquired by John Mc-
Lennan, of Syracuse, N. Y., and other American
capitalists. The syndicate has also acquired from the
government several water powers which remained in
the hands of the Crown after the limits were acquired
by their former owners, Gagnon & Frere. The agree-
ment with the government provides that at least
$300,000 shall be expended within three years in de-
veloping the property. It is said to be the intention
to build a pulp mill.

The erection of the proposed pulp mill at the
Chaudiere, by the Ottawa and Hull Power Company,
has been deferred pending the settlement of the litiga-
tion and dispute over the rights to the water power pri-
vileges on the Ottawa river. The company had the pulp
mill plans in hand, and John Kennedy, hydraulic
engineer, of Montreal, had been engaged to look after
the development of the power. As soon as the question
of possession of water power privileges is settled, the
company will proceed with work on the pulp mill pro-
vided they are satisfied that they will be able to develop
enough power.

The Paper Trade Journal has been asked the follow-
ing question: ‘ Spruce being the principal wood used
both for manufacture of ground wood and sulphite pulp,
we will call the producing qualities ot spruce as 100 per
cent. for the sake of illustration; also the production
cost of both kinds of pulp from spruce 100 per cent.
What is the relative cost of production and the amount
of wood necessary, as compared with spruce, of fir,
poplar, red and white hemlock and sapling pine?”
Perhaps some of our readers will volunteer information.

Hon. Mr. Parent, Premier of Quebec, recently stated
in the House that out of the 89,427 cords of pulp wood
cut within the province during 1901-1902, on which no
timber dues were collected, 1 1,045 cords were subject to
a tax of go cent. The amounts paid were : Belgo-
Canadian Pulp Company, $1,039.20 ; Chicoutimi Pulp
Company, $1,754.60; Ouiatchouan Pulp Company,
$2,288.80; Riordan Paper Mills, $22,088.80 ; James
McLaren Company, $1,586.40; E. B. Eddy, $2595.60 ;
Warren Curtis, $5,295.65; J. E. Atkinson, $778.05 ;

MAPLE FLOORING.

The secretary of the Maple Flooring Manu-
facturers’ Association of Michigan furnishes
interesting facts and figures about that com-
paratively youthful industry. Architects well
remember what atime they used to have in get-
ting a good hardwood floor down. In the first
place, it was a long hunt to find the kind and
grade of lumber wanted; then, even if machined
with unusual care on the best molding wa-
chine to be found, it was far from uniform, ow-
ing, it is said, to the fact that the harder woods
in passing through caused the machinery to
give in some way, so that if one cut off an end
of a given piece that appeared all right, it was
a chance if it matched well in the other end of
the same piece. But after all this, when a
workman undertook to complete the dressing
process begun by the machine, it seemed as if
the troubles had just begun—the cost of lay-
ing and dressing smooth by hand would per-
haps nearly double the cost of flooring delivered
at the building. So, therefore, when the
maple flooring, thoroughly dry and well finished
by special machinery, was placed on the mar-
ket it made its way very rapidly. lt was true,
squared at the ends and so well dressed that
no plane need be used after laying, a touch
with the cabinet scraper here and there being
all that was required. This improved way of
placing the goods on the market originated in
the west.

Well-made hardwood flooring was at first to
be found in maple only, but now several kinds

of hardwood are in use. Oak, which is very

finding its way into the market in this form, if
we remember, but now oak is to be had with
the rest, and much birch is used, while beech
is finding its way into stocks to some extent.
Statistics as to output of ‘‘maple flooring”
probably cover all these varieties, and all thick-
nesses. Originally most. of the output was
“7%” stuff, but now quite a bit of ‘‘3¢” is sold

all flooring sold in the Northwest is “24”
face, while Eastern states, Ohio, and the ex-
port trade, use most of the “3%” face. One
large concern makes ‘'1%4” face from strips
that will not make ‘‘24,” and sells it at about
the same as the ‘‘214,” but a demand for the
narrower in large quantities would raise the
the cost to something like $5.00 per M. above

the cost of 2%.”

Maple appears to stand at the Lead of the
list for real wearing qualities. It is averse to
dampness, and there are places where white
oak would stand much longer. Opinions differ
as to relative durability of the maple and
birch in damp places and beech is too little
known to say how it would behave in damp

situations. Oak stains easily, but the ex-
perienced housewife has most likely learned
that she can have the stains removed from
oak more easily than from the others. Owing
also to its more open grain, marks and
scratches show less in its surface than in the
smoother and closer grained woods, while its
color is a great advantage to its appearance in
house floors. We would guess that beech
trees would furnish flooring of more uniform
color when laid and finished than either maple
or birch.

we had with a short cross belt. The drive

LOSSES OF LUMBERMEN.

Many lumbermen sustaired heavy losses by
the recent forest fires in New Brunswick. Itis
estimated that 40,000,000 feet of timber was
‘destroyed in York county. H. F. Eaton &
Sons are probably the heaviest losers, r2,000
acres of their limits along the Upper Magagua-
davic lakes having been burned over, in
addition to a large area in the State of Maine.
Other losses are estimated as follows: James
Murchie & Sons, in York county, along the
C. P. R. and on Magaguadavic lake, 12,000 or
more acres ; Major J. D. Chipman, 6,000 acres
near Kilburn lake, in York county ; F.H.Todd

to recommend a longer spacing than the above,
unless it is desired to run a long tooth with
extreme hook. In such case, a 2-inch spacing
may be used, with throat from 3 to 1 inch
deep on a log band saw and from 34 to 9-16 on
a band resaw, with large rounded gullet, quite
similar to that run on a circular saw. Shorter
teeth are usually preferred for hardwoods and
frozen timber than are used for soft woods or
summer sawing. Thus a %-inch tooth is
generally used for hardwoods in winter and a
g-16-inch in summer, while the teeth for soft
woods range from ¥4-inch to 3{-inch or longer.
A style of throat that is very popular in many
sections, and especially among the cypress
manufacturers, is the rather long throat, with
the base line about horizontal.

It is impossible to suggest that any particu-
lar style of tooth is best adapted to any partic-
ular wood, for the reason that all shapes of

ent woods. Expert users of band resaws find

that for box-boird work not over 12 inches
wide, a spacing of 15% is satisfactory. In work
demanding a minimum saw kerf ard a moder-
ate speed for saw, as in sawing picture back-
ing, etc., a 2-inch spacing is found good. The
same is true of resawing panel stock and hard-
woods. Kiln-dried hardwood such .as oak,
hard maple, etc., tends to dull the saw very
rapidly, unless the feed is well regulated, and
it is well to have the saw stand a fair feed in-
stead of simply allowing it to rub the dust
away. Careful feeding of the saw in kiln-
dried hardwoods will enable the saw to do
good work in cutting considerable stock, where
feeding without exercise of careful judgment
may dull the saw in a few minutes. —PAcKAGES.

BOY AGAINST FIVE MEN

-The boy with a Nash Sander will do as much
work, and do it far better than five expert men
can do with the old fashioned sand belt. You can

Figure the Saving Yourself.

It is simply the difference between what you
will pay one boy and what the five men will cost.
If you make any kind of round work, such as
chair legs, spindles, dowel rods, curtain poles,
shade rollers, handles, etc.,

You Can’t Afford Not to Use it.
The machine will save its own cost in three
months, besides making an improvement in the
quality of your work that is a profit in itself.

GENTLEMEN, In
reference to your in-
quiry regarding the
workings of the Ray
Patent Steam Feed
purchased from you
about eighteen months
ago, we have this to
say regarding the feed,
that it certainly is not
only the best feed that
we have ever used, but
undoubtedly has no
equal to-day on the
Pacific Coast.

We have dropped as
high as twelve 24-ft. 1”
boards in one minute.
In doing this, the car-
riage would have to
travel about 650 feet
and stop and_ start
twenty-four times in
one minute. The
weight of the carriage,
head blocks. and log
would be about ten
tons. This would give
you a pretty good idea
of the Power exerted
by the feed in hand-
ling a load of that size
at such a velocity.

We have run this
feed night and day
since we have had it,
continually, and_ the
same ropes are still in
service that were put
on when the feed was
mounted. Everything
about the feed seems
to be in as good condi-
tion to-day as the day
we got it. We would
not take it out and put
back our old feed for
ten times the cost of
. the new one. You will
see that we are more
Z Suerades ee than pleased with it.

When a new and improved machine that has great
merit in it like this one’ is put onto the market,
often times other machinery manufacturers will recog-
nize the fact that it will be a good seller and they will
try and start in to copy, of course providing they can do
it. We expect it may be the case with this machine,
but we know that all the mill men purchasing machines
will want the Original, for many mill men in the past
have met with great disappointment in buying copied
machines. Write for full information. }

NEW PROCESS OF UTILIZING SAW
MILL REFUSE,

There is a new thing under the sun. It is the mak-
ing of alcohol from wood.

We fancy that many of our readers will protest and
say that there are scores of plants in America making
alcohol from wood. But they would be mistaken. The
plants to which they refer are making wood alcohol,
which is not alcoholat all. It simply resembles alcohol
in color, slightly in odor, and in the fact that it will burn,
though with no such heat as results from the combustion
of genuine alcohol. A better and more descriptive
name is ‘* wood spirits,’ which is used in France.
Scientifically it is know as methyl! alcohol, while real
alcohol made by the fermentation of sugar is ethyl
alcohol. Without attempting to be too technical, the
chemical formule of
these two commercial

of Aachen, Germany, who is Professor of Chemistry of
the Aachen Polytechnic School, a leading chemist of
Europe and pricy state councillor of the German Empire,
to devise a means by which the cellulose of wood could
be converted into sugar without leaving associated
with it substances which make it nugatory in its value.
What this discovery was will be told in brief further on.

UTILIZATION OF SAW MILL REFUSE.

The manufacturing lumberman is interested in this
discovery because it presents to him a method for util-
izing the refuse of his lumber manufacturing operations
—a method which does not lie under the suspicion of
being liable to over-production, as is the case with a
good many of the other by-products of wood.

Most saw mills are located where the refuse has no

products may be of ©
value.

Ethyl or “ grain’
alcohol is C,H,O.
This maens that a
molecule of alcohol is
made up of two atoms
of carbon, six of hydro-
gen and one of oxygen.

The formula for
methyl or wood alcohol
is CH,O. That is, it
has one less atom of
carbon and two less of
hydrogen.

Grain alcohol is com-
paratively innocuous,
while wood alcohol is
a virulent poison.

' Cases are numerous
where people have
deunk wood alcohol
because they supposed
it to be alcohol, and
have promptly died.:
Wood alcohol has .a
large place in the arts,
but grain alcohol has
all the virtues of wood
alcohol and many other
besides.

- Tomake real alcchol
out of wood is from a

,

practical standpoint a
new thing. It haslong
been a fact well known
to chemists that theo-
retically it’ should be possible to make alcohol from
wood, for wood contains cellu'ose, and cellulose can
be converted into sugar, and from sugar by fermen-
talion is madealcohol. For thirty or forty years chem-
ists have been at work on this problem, but they
have always failed to «make alcohol except at a cost
‘greater than the value of the product, even if the
laboratory experiments, were enlarged to a factory
scale.

Various methods have been used to convert the cel-
lulose of wood into sugar. The most successful em-
ployed sulpburic acid, but sulphuric acid is a liquid, and

to remove it from or neutralize it in the sugar solution
resulting from the treatment of cellulose would cost
_ more than the sugar or alcohol that can be deduced from
itis worth. Chemists have not despaired, however, and
_have kept steadily at their work of investigation and
experimentation, but it remained for Alexander Classen,

.
#

Fic. 1.—RoTARY DIGESTER FOR CONVERTING CELLULOSE OF SAWDUST INTO SUGAR.

market value. The best that can be done with it is to
use it as fuel, and that it is so used is a matter of course.
In some mills located where there is no market for
refuse, the slabs are burned under the boilers, and saw-
dust, edgings, trimmings, etc., is the refuse. In most
modern mills, however, automatic furnace feeders are
used, in which case sawdust is the basis of the fuel mixed
with larger refuse to loosen it up. The amount of
refuse varies greatly, but in any modern mill of large
capacity it is probably in the neighborhood of twelve
to fifteen per cent. of the actual contents of the log.
The utilization of this material at some profit shows
double results. It not only makes a profit out of what
otherwise is thrown away, but also’gives returns ona
cash investment. Sawdust and slabs cost something
to bring to the mill in the log, in some instances this ex-
pense being an important part of the entire cost of a
saw-mill’s output. To the intelligent lumberman the

Possibility of saving something from this waste is at
tractive,

Here comes in ‘grain’ alcohol as a by-product of
wood. There is no danger of over-doing the grain
alcohol business provided only that a slight saving can
be made in the cost of production.

WOOD VS. CORN,

The Classen process, it is claimed, makes at least
fitty gallons proof alcohol from a long ton of dry saw-
dust. About four and a half gallons can be made from
a bushel of corn. Reduced to gallons of alcohol, one
proof gallon is made from about two-ninths ofa bushel,
or 12.4 pounds of corn. It can also be made, at no
greater, and probably a little less expense for the pro-
cess, from forty-five pounds of saw-dust.

Put it in another
way. It takes 11.1
bushels of corn to pro-
duce the same amount
of alcoho] as can be
obtained from a long
ton (2,240 pounds) of
dry sawdust.

The Classen process
is owned in the United
States by the Lignum
Inversion Company, of
Chicago, which is to
be succeeded by the
Classen Lignum Com-
pany, that will take
over the rights of the
former and increase its
scope. The Lignum
Inversion

Company
has had for about four
months in almost con-
stant operation an ex-
perimental plant in
Highland Park, near
Chicago.

DESCRIPTION OF THE
PROCESS,

As stated at the be-
xinning, the successful
production of glucose
or sugar from wood
cellulose as a !abora-
tory proposition had
preferably been by
trealing it with sul-
phuric acid heated, but

$ the sulphuric acid is a
liquid and could not be removed from the resulting solu-
tion except at such great expense as to make the process
commercially a failure. Professor Classen conceived
the idea of using sulphurous instead of sulphuric acid.
Sulphurous acid is a gas. The result is, that when
given an opportunity under a moderate degree of heat,
it releases or blows itself out of the wood, leaving the
treated wood practically free from substances that will
prevent fermentation of the contained sugar.

A plant for the manufacture of alcohol from sawdust
consists first of the acid appacatus in which the neces-
sary solution of the sulphurous acid gas in water is
made, and where the gas when released from the boiler
or digester is reabsorbed in the water and thus saved.
A view is given of the apparatus used in the plant at
Higland Park. Next is a revolving boiler or digester
similar to that used in making chemical pulp. Next
comes an exhausting battery, which is a series of tanks

12 THE CANADA LUMBERMAN

AUGUST, 1903

through which water may be passed, washing out the
sugar in the wood which is theresult of treatment in the
digester by the sulphurous acid gas. Next comes the
neutralizing vat or vats in which various acids in the
solution are removed or neutralized by the addition of
carbonate of lime. Then comes the fermenting process
and then the still room. The fermentation and distilla-
tion are precisely the same as in an ordinary distillery.

The process, as briefly described, is thoroughly to
mix the sawdust with the sulphurous acid gas and
water so that all parts of it are penetrated by the gas,
thus converting a portion of the cellulose into sugar.
This sugar, of which about 85 per cent. is fermentable,
remains in the sawdust. This sawdust is then intro-
duced into the éxhaustion tanks where the water passes
through them, the method being just like the making
of drip coffee. The water simply passes through the
sawdust, washing out the sugar.

The digester or boiler in which the wood is first treat-
ed is a revolving drum of iron, lined with lead to resist
the action of the acids, then surrounded with a steam

jacket by which it is heated. This drun is n2irly fille

with Sawdust— in the
experimental pla nt
about 400 pounds be-
ing a charge. Into
this is put about one-
third of its weight of
the acid solution. Then
steam is turned into
the jacket and the drum
is set revolving slowly
so as thorougbly to
its contents. The
steam in the outside
jacket heats the saw-
dust and other contents
of the digester to a
temperature of about
295 degrees Fahren-
heit. This heat drives
the gas out of the water
into the wood and con-
verts the cellulose into

ple of working is to bring the fresh sawdust in contact
with the solution already containing sugar in order to
make a solution as strong as possible, and on the other
hand to treat the nearly exhausted sawdust with pure
water in order to complete the washing out of sugar.
This is a continuous process, that is to say, when the
contents of a vat has been treated with ten washings it
is emptied out and refilled with fresh sawdust. Before
emptying its charge it receives fresh water, and after
refilling it receives the strongest solution.

The result of this process is a sugar solution which
contains 450 to 500 pounds of sugar from a long ton of
dry sawdust. This sugar is of two sorts, one of which
is pentose, non-fermentable, the other part, amounting
to 70 to 80 per cent., being capable of alcoholic fermen-
tation when treated with yeast.

This solution from the exhaustion battery is pumped
into a receiving tank, where it is neutralized with
carbonate of lime, which is necessary to prevent the
acid from killing the yeast to be added for the purpose
of fermentation.

From this neutralizing tank the solution is pumped

blown off from the cyl-
inder into absorbiny
tanks in the acid room,
thus saving 75 to 80 per cent. of the gas, which

cover is removed and the digester emptied of its con-
tents, which now resembles brown coffee more closely
than anything else. This material contains the wood
and
various other separated and partially separated pro-
ducts produced by the action of the acid and the heat
upon the wood. The process is not carried as far as
in pulp making, to which it is somewhat similar, the
object being to carry it only far enough to convert as

fibre and the converted cellulose, now sugar,

much as practicable of the cellulose into sugar and to
stop short of the point where the sugar by reversion
would be destroyed.

The exhaustion battery—so called—in which the
sugar is washed out of the sawdust, contains ten tubs
or vats, in this case of 36-gallon contents each. Here
it might be said that in the commercial plant it is pro-
posed to treat a long ton of dry sawdust at one time
and there may be as many digesters and sets of ex-
haustion batteries as is necessary to handle the avail-
able supply of sawdust or other finely divided wood.

These vats are so connected by pipes and valves
with each other and with the pump that the contents of
any one tub can be pumped into another. The princi-,

than 25 gallons of absolute or 50 gallons of proof alco-
hol to the ton. This product is enough to secure the
entire approval of both scientific and practical men who
are familiar with the manufactnre of grain alcohol and
the marketing of the same, and who state that nothing
more is necessary to insure profitableness under the
process, provided, of course, sawdust can be bought
cheaper than corn on the basis of the alcohol output
from each.

LOCATION IN RELATION TO SAW MILL,

The ideal location of such a plant is alongside a saw
mill of large capacity with a considerable life ahead of
it guaranteed by timber supplies. This location should
not be in a large city where there is a good market at
present existing for mill refuse, though a Classen
distillery could compete for the output of saw mill wasie
under ordinary market conditions. In a mill which
uses the greater part of its sawdust product for fuel a
change would have to be made in this particular. In
such cases automatic furnace feeders are used and per-
haps tne hog would have to be brought into requisition
to supply chips to take
the place of the saw-
dust.

The cost of plant is
not heavy considering
the value of its output,
and with such practica!
results from an experi-
mental planta properly
designed, equipped and
built plant on a large
scale should effect
economies in labor ex-
pense and should in-
crease the output per
ton.

There is claimed to
be absolutely no ques-
tion as to the scientific
practicability of this
method of producing
grain or ethyl alcohol
from wood, and there
is no question, further-
more, of its commer-
cial practicability, as
demonstrated by the

plant already in opera-
tion.

VALUE AND USE OF THE
TAILINGS,

A further considera-
tion is as to what can
be done with the ex-
haust sawdust and

into the fermenting vats and is now called “ mash.”
Then yeast is added to the solution, which is held at
the proper temperature, and in a very short time fer-
mentation begins. When it is completed, the product
passes to the still room, a view of which is given,
which is equipped with still, condenser, etc., this part of
the process being in no wise different from that ordi-
narily used in distilleries.

The result is about-50 gallons of proof alcohol or 25
gallons of absolute alcohol from a long ton of sawdust.

This plant was for three months under the oversight
of J. H. Long, professor of chemistry in the medical
school of Northwestern University, Chicago, and Pre-
sident of the American Chemical Association. This
gentleman spent about one month in personal manage-
ment of the plant, of which he was given complete
charge, and the remainder of the three months it was
under his control through an assistant. The report of
Prof. Long was a strong recommendation of the process.

It should be said that something over 24 gallons of
absolute alcohol have been secured froma ton of saw-
dust up to this date, but that improvement in the out-
put has been so constant that it is believed that with
the further development aud improvement of the system
probably 30 gallons and perhaps more can be secured;
but the company is making no claims as yet of more

what its value is. In
the various processes
through which it is put
it contracts in volume from 25 to 33 per cent., but, volume
considered, its fuel value is apparently not changed.
About one-fourth of the cellulose is removed and other
properties taken out have no fuel yalue. Consequentiy,
if the sawdust is still needed as a fuel it can, after treat-
ment, be turned back to the mill and burned under the
boilers as originally intended ; but the residue remains
unchanged and practically undiminished, the qualities
which make it available for dry distillation.

The treatment of heat and acid has left it dead,
inert, without apparent vitality or elasticity ; conse-
quently it can be pressed into briquettes without the
use of an agglutinant or binder. A great deal has
been heard lately of the manufacture of briquettes from
sawdust, but invariably this process requires the use of
resin, or tar, or something else, as a binder in order to
hold them together. This is not necessary with saw-
dust after being treated with the Classen process.

These briquettes can be readily converted into a high
grade of charcoal. If the process is carried on in
retorts the by-products of the process can be preserved
in the shape of wood alcohol, acetate of lime, wood tar,
etc. The charcoal produced is of an unusally high
character, both because of the purity of the material
used and the uniform size of the briquettes, which
make carbonization uniform.

This dry distillation of the tailings from the Classen
plant is a distinct process, requiring a distinct equip-
ment. Tests as to the manufacture of charcoal by the
retort process referred to above show that the results
are better than with wood ordinarily used.

SAW MILLS ADAPTED TO PROCESS.

It is apropos to explain to what class of mills the
Classen wood distillation process is adapted. In the
first place there should be a daily product, either of one
mill or of several closely associated, mills—preferably
one—of at least 20 tons of wastea day, although a
plant could be adapted toa smaller product.

Second, it should bea mill cutting exclusively one
kind of wood. This is because hard and soft woods
require a different degree of heat inthe digester or
boiler, and where the wood waste is composed of hard
and soft woods the returns are not as great as they are
where they are worked separately.

the Sheppard & Morse Company, his object being to

DEATH OF LIEUTENANT WHELEN,

News of the tragic death of Lieutenant George
Hume Whelen, son of Mr. Peter Whelen, of the Shep-
parc & Morse Lumber Company, Ottawa, which
occurred on July 25th, brought the deepest sorrow toa
wide circle of friends and acquaintances. Deceased

Sheppard & Morse Company. The raft had just been
snubbed to the dock as the tide changed. The current
Swung the raft around towards the wharf and as it

LUMBERMEN’S CONCATENATED ORDER OF
HOO-HOO.

The first organization of this association in
Ontario was held at Toronto, July 7th. Much
of the success of this forward movement is due
to the efforts 6f Mr. Harlan P. Hubbard, the
Vice-gerent of the Eastern District of Canada,
and to Mr. Walter C. Laidlaw, of Toronto,
both of whom were initiated into the mysteries
of Hoo-Hoo on the other side of the line.

The organization of Hoo-Hoo is unique in
the fact that it is strictly a trade organization

and limits membership to those engaged in the

lumber business or those directly interested in
said business within prescribed limits. The
fact should be remembered that all lumbermen
are not Hoo-Hoo, but that all Hoo-Hoo are
lumbermen or identified with the trade in some
way.

The only general meeting of Hoo-Hoo is
held once a year on the ninth day of the ninth
month in place selected. The name is Hoo-
Hoo, not Hoo-Hoos. The singular is plural
and the plural very singular.

THE LUMBER DEMAND IN FRANCE.

In a report to the Dominion Government
Mr. A. Poindron, Commissioner at Paris,
France, states that a large development of the
lumber and timber exports to France could be
obtained if Canadian exporters were to appoint
direct agents in France. In fact the most im-
portant of them are dealing with France
through the firms in England that they have
entrusted with their general agency for United
Kingdom and the continent. In spite ot the
reason of which I am aware that Canadian
exporters could state, in favour of their present
organization as to exports of lumber and tim-
ber to Europe, I am afraid the Canadian ex-

port trade of lumber to continzntal Europe in
general, and specially to France, will develop
at a slow rate until they try direct connections
with agents ia continental European countries.

As regards France, the agents of Canadian
exporters in the United Kingdom have to give
to their own representatives in France a part
of their commission, and they feel inclined to
work preferentially the English market at full
rates of commission.

On the other hat. * their Sprieonaee in
France give also their preferences to business
done.at full rates of commission, and as they
are generally entrusted with direct agencies of
exporters from other foreign countries, like
Baltic countries, United States and others,and ~
as they are often born in such foreign coun-
tries, they carry the Canadian lumber import —

business in-France-with-less care. aad -nergae Ye

than Canadian ‘or French direct agents —
would do. aa

As to square timber, oak, birch, maple, elm,
ash, are in very large demand in France. Oak
planks and flooring, maple flooring, pine
deals, staves and blocks could get a largely
increased trade. As to spruce deals, in Paris,
Rouen, Le Havre, Alger, Oran, Marseilles,the

PRACTICAL SAW POINTERS.

An extreme amount of swaging increases
the tensile strain upon the saw. The proper
amount ot swaging varies, according ‘to the
timber being sawed, hardwoods requiring the
least set, and soft or fibrous woods requiring
more. A clearance of 4 to 5 gauges is usually
considered sufficient by most filers, and few
make.a greater distinction than 1 gauge of
set as between hard or soft woods. It is a
well-known fact that many run their saws
without distinction upon all classes of stock
that approach the saw, and there are mills
that cut a dozen different kinds of woods almost
daily with relatively equal success. The final
fitting of circular saws differs greatly in dif-
ferent parts of the country, according to the
timber being cut and the class of the ‘logs. —
Seven- -gauge circulars are most commonly —
used, running on from %%-inch to 5-32 inch >

set. Some of the southern and Pacific coast i:

mills run 5 or 6-gauge-saws, and in the latter _ |
section run a set of from 34-inch to %-inch

The saws in use for hardwoods vary from 8 to’
11-gauge and are run variously on from 3-16
to Y%-inch set. Gang saws in common use
vary from 11 to 16-gauge ; log band saws
from 14 to 16-gauge ; rift gang saws from 15
to 18-gauge ; band resaws from 18 to 26-
gauge.—Packages.

e information concerning lumber mat-

est Australia was imparted by Mr. J.
a leading lumberman of. Perth, the
t colony, who paid a visit to Tor-

> 2

onto last month. Mr. Port was on pleasure
bent, although aiming at the same time to pick
up some ideas regarding saw-milling in Can-
ada. The population of the Australian Com-
monwealth is about 4,000,000, that of West
Australia being 240,000. Within twelve years
the population of West Australia has increased
200,000. Mr. Port has for some years operat-
ed a large saw-mill in the vicinity of Perth.
The timber of West Australia consists largely
of Jarrah and Karri, both hardwoods of a very
tough nature. The area of Jarrah timber in
West Australia is about 8,000,000 acres, and
that of Karri 1,200,000 acres. The method of
logging differs from that of Canada, in so far
that there are no streams by which to float the
timber to the mills. Horses and railways
furnish the means of transport. The wagon
used for hauling is a two-wheeled ‘‘whim”, the
wheels being 9 feet in diameter. It is not con-
sidered profitable to haul the !ogs by means of
horses for a distance of more than one mile.
Beyond that distance railways are constructed
into the limits. Operations are conducted the
year round, there being no snow, but in the

6,000 loads of sleepers for the Ceylon Govern-
ment. Three steamers carried the timber, the
freight rate being 3o shillings a load of 50
cubic feet. Mr. Port considers that Canada
could do a large trade with Australia in doors,
sashes and like goods, as there is no timber
there which answers the purpose of our pine
and spruce. The Oregon pine is well spoken
of and can be laid down there at a lower cost
than the native timber.

winter time the ground becomes boggy and
hauling is more expensive than in the summer.
The Karri tree grows to an average diameter
of about 6 feet and the Jarrah to 4 feet. The
writer was shown a picture of a Karri tree 245
feet high and 4o feet in circumference. The
waste of timber is much greater than in this
country, owing to the fact that the heart of the
tree is defective and useless. Lumbermen
figure that only 50 per cent. of the timber is
merchantable. Notwithstanding this loss, the
production per acre must be very large, as Mr.
Port operated a large mill for five years with-
out building a railway into the timber. The
haul, however, was much longer than the
average and towards the Jast became very ex-
pensive. West Australia is now exporting
large quantities ot railway sleepers and bridge
and jetty t'mber to South Africa, the trade with
that country having greatly increased since the
war. Paving wood is exported to England.
The Jarrah timber is very durable. It has

been known to last for forty years in whart
piling. One of the last orders executed by
Mr. Port before leaving on his tour was some

BREAKWATER

run down the harbor to the Beacon Light,
giving the first five slips shown eleven addi-
tional steamer berths. These slips would be
670 feet long by 250 feet wide.

Then from the Beacon towards Fort Dufferin
would be a line of five double piers, giving
accommodation for 18 or 20 more steamers.
These slips would be 1200 feet long by 300 feet
wide. The curved lines represent railway
tracks which would serve each berth, and in
the immense yard which they would traverse
there would be room for more than 50 miles of
tracks.

Extending from Fort Dufferin to Partridge

Island along the line of the present break-
water, would be an esplanade, perhaps 1,000
feet wide, with roadway and street car lines.
The lines marked ‘‘ proposed boulevard” and
‘* breakwater ” show only tke beginning of the
proposed esplanade ; it would extend to the
island, act as a breakwater, and also, on the
shore side, give room for more steamer berths.

It is expected that the Dominion Govern-
ment will be induced to grant financial assist-
ance towards the contemplated improvements.

ADVERTISING RATES ON APPLICATION.

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN is puplened in the interests of the
lumber, wood-working and allied industries, being the only
representative in Canada of these important interests. It aims
at giving full and timely information on allsubjects touching

these interests, and invites free discussion by its readers.

Especial pains are taken to secure for publication in the
WEEKLY LUMBERMAN the latest and most trustworthy market
quotations throughout the world, so as to afford to the trade at
home and abroad information on which it can rely in its
operations. Subscribers will find the small amount they pay
for the CANADA LUMBERMAN quite insignificant as compared
with its value tothem. There is not an individual in the trade,
or specially interested in it, who should not be on our list, thus
obtaining the present benefit and aiding and encouraging us to
render it even more complete.

Advertisers will receive careful attention and liberal treat-

VALUE OF HARDWOOD TIMBER.

While coniferous woods comprise the bulk
of the forest wealth of Canada, there is a large
quantity of hardwood timber which represents
an asset of no small value. The tendency in
the past has been to overlook the importance
of the hardwoods, but the time has come when
the question of preserving this class of forest
must receive attention.

Notwithstanding that iron and steel have
replaced wood in the construction of buildings
and for many other purposes, the demand for
hardwood lumber is gradually increasing, and
to-day the factories using such as their raw
material are finding difficulty in obtaining an
adequate supply.
now in the happy position of being compelled
to take their travelling salesmen off the road
on account of having more orders than can be
filled. The consumption of hardwood lumber
by this industry alone is very heavy. With
the consequent increased price of lumber has
come an appreciation in the value of stumpage.

The action of certain railroads in the North-
ern States may have an important bearing up-
on the hardwood demand. It appears that
many of these roads have experienced great
difficulty in obtaining longleaf pine ties from the
Southern States and have appealed to the
Bureau of Forestry for assistance. The
Director of the Bureau has suggested the use of
beech, maple and birch instead of pine, these
to be seasoned and preserved just as beech is
seasoned in France. The Great Eastern Rail-
road of France is said to have succeeded in
preserving beech ties for 35 years by impreg-
nating them with tar oils. Should it be found
practical to preserve harwood timber in this
manner even for a shorter period than is done

The furniture factories are

in France, the railroads have expressed their
intention of acquiring large areas of timber
lands on which they will grow their own trees,
cut their own ties, and thus be assured of a
steady supply.

Other new uses for hardwood timber will
doubtless be discovered as time goes by, and
our advice to owners o f hardwood stumpage
is to preserve it, and before many years it
is likely to be much more valuable than it is

to-day.

WARNING TO CANADIAN EXPORTERS.

In view of the recent gratifying increase in
Canadian exports, some suggestions may be
offered to shippers which, if adhered to, may
tend to further swell the volume of our foreign
trade. The exporter should become thorough-
ly acquainted with the conditions of the country
and know exactly the class of goods required.
With this information, he should aim to ship
goods which will be considered satisfactory in
character and in conformity with the specifi-
cations. Substitution of other goods for those
ordered should not be permitted. It isa great
mistake to jeopardize future prospects of trade
by making a wrong beginning. The shipper
who sends forward inferior goods is not only
likely to suffer a loss himself but gives a black
eye to Canadian exports in general, for until
the trade shall become thoroughly established
the class of shipments received will be to a
large extent the determining factor in placing
further orders.

Promptness in making shipments is also
very necessary. If goods are not shipped
within a reasonable time after the order is
received, the conditions in the country for
which they are destined may have undergone
changes and prices have weakened accordingly,
thus rendering the importer liable to sustain
a loss.

The Canadian consuls frequently call atten-
tion to the mistakes of shippers. In his last
report to the Department of Trade and Com-
merce, Mr. Jardine, Commissioner at Cape
Town, South Africa, gives one instance of
several he has met with. A Canadian firm of
commission merchants in Johannesburg order-
eda large quantity of building material for
the government railway. After some months
about $15,000 worth arrived, and on exami-
nation the government refused to take the
timber on the ground of its not being first
quality as ordered, and accordingly cancelled
the balance of the order. The commission
firm, however, had already accepted sight
draft and paid the price for first quality tim-
ber. Mr. Jardine confirms the government
official’s opinion that the timber was of inferior
quality. A buyer for it had not yet been
found at time of his last report, notwithstand-
ing that timber of all kinds is in great demand
at Johannesburg. This transaction became
common knowledge, greatly to the detriment
of the Canadian export trade.

Mr. Larke, Commissioner in Australia, calls
attention to delayed shipments, careless pack-
ing, and substitution, as being great barriers
to trade, also that frequent differences arise in
respect to accounts. Where goods are sold
c. i. f. (cost, insurance and freight), shippers

- the means of turning the attention of pros-

usually make no allowance for exchange
where payment is arranged for in Canada. The
full price is collected and the buyer finds the
exchange charged up against him at his bank.
As this amounts to 2% per cent., it is a con-
siderable item. Again, where credit is given
for freight to be collected at port of destination,
the credit commonly is at the rate of a pound
sterling for $4.86, whereas the shipping com-
panies collect at the rate of $4.80 to the pound,
a loss to the buyer of three pence in the pound.

The Canadian government officials appear
to be working energetically to increase the —
export trade of Canada. They have adopted —
the policy of giving specific information of —
market requirements and of enlightening
shippers in respect to methods of manufactu 2
as far as it is possible to do so. With a con-
tinuation of this work and the co-operation of —
manufacturers and shippers, the exports of 7
this country should continue to grow. '

IMVESTMENT IN CANADIAN TIMBER :
LIMITS. ed

Many millions of dollars of United States — ,
capital have been invested in Canadian timber —
limits. The depletion of the white pine in
Michigan formed the first pretext for such in- :
vestment, which was confined largely to the
Georgian Bay district of Ontario. The em-
bargo on the export of saw logs from the —
province, passed about four years ago, was —

wy

.

pective buyers to the other provinces of the
Dominion. The International Paper Company —
have steadily added to their holdings of Quebec —

limits, and are to-day in possession of vale ia
areas. The wave of buying sentiment extended —
to the east, and during the last two years —
capitalists from across the border have be- —
come owners of large timber lands in Nova
Scotia and Cape Breton. The properties in ;
the east have, with few exceptions, been pur- —
chased with a view to the utilization of the —
spruce timber for pulp, although several saw
mills are also projected. :

Perhaps the area ot timber lands in New
Brunswick held by United States partiesis less _
than in any other province of the Dominion, —
-for recently there have been heavy investments _
in British Columbia timber. Notwithstanding
the claim that much of the timber is difficult to
log, that province seems to offer a very prom- —
ising field for future lumbering operations. __

An indication of the trend of the times is —
furnished by the purchase of Canadian limits
by concerns in the Eastern States who have
heretofore conducted a wholesale business ex-
clusively—Messrs. Easton & Company, of —
Albany, for example. Owing to the increasing 4
difficulty of obtaining a lumber supply, |
partly to the decadence of the white pine,
fearing a loss of trade thereby, such firms
taking the precaution of buying standing tim-—
ber, thus rendering a supply of lumber abso-
lutely certain.

The timber industry of this country, it
be seen, is being developed upon natural
very satisfactory lines. Too much timber is
still being exported in its raw state, but this
will eventually be remedied, and to those of
our neighbors who are disposed to invest their

money and establish mills on this side on an
equal footing with Canadians, we extend a
hearty welcome. There isa vast amount of
timber yet in Canada, which, if properly con-
served, should meet the requirements of gen-
ecations to come.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The formation in Toronto of a branch of the
Hoo-Hoo Order has the proper ring about it.
Mysterious as it is, it will doubtless tend to
bring the members of the lumber trade into
closer touch with each other. Before the
coveted nine thousand nine hundred and
ninety-nine is reached, as many Canadian
lumbermen as possible should seek admission
within the fold.

aL = oe

Those who six months ago boldly predicted
a break in lumber values before midsummer of
this year must feel like taking to the woods.
Prices have been universally steady, even in
the face of labor troubles and other unfavorable
conditions. Manufacturers of lumber are ina
strong position financially as a result of the
prosperity of the past few years and are not dis-
posed to sacrifice stock whenever there may be
_atemporary check in the consumption. This
will no doubt be a telling factor for some time
to come.

; The policy of the new British Columbia Gov-
ernment in relation to the timber industry is still
_ indoubt. It is know that the present Premier
is bold in his methods and fearless of conse-
quences, and by some it is predicted that a cem-
plete change of the timber laws will be made.
In our Opinion this is improbable. Doubtless
_ the existing laws can be improved in many
ways, but the policy of prohibiting the export
of timber and of encouraging home manufacture
should be continued. The plea of the logger
to be allowed to export timber is not in the
_ interests of the country. The regulations
_ should also aim to preserve the timber supply
without in any way crippling the lumber
indusry.

F Righteous indignation seems to have been
_ engendered by the action of the United States
_ Interior Department in respect to the cutting
__ of timber on the Chippewa Reservation in Min-
__hesota. An act of Congress approved June 27,
1902, provided for the sale of certain lands
belonging to the Chippewa, Mississippa, and
Winnebigoshish Indian Reservations. The
_ Secretary of the Interior was instructed to get
_ estimates of the amount of standing pine and to

_ offer it for sale under such rules and regulations
= as he deemed advisiable. In accordance with
_ this provision a tract of 110,000 acres of pine
~ lands, on which there is standing 235,000,000
¢ feet of pine timber, is to be offered for sale on
_ December 5th next, to be followed a few
__ Weeks later by 200,000 acres on which compe-
tent lumbermen figure there is a billion feet of
timber. The regulations provide that parties
Pe whose bids are accepted shall be required to
move the timber before July 1, 1905. This
practically leaves but one logging season, that

of 1904-5. The placing of so much timber on
. market in a single year will, it is feared,
iomewhat demoralize the luinber industry and

at the same time reduce the price of stumpage.
The wisdom of the Government’s action is
questioned, and very rightly so. It seems to
be directly opposed to the policy of economical
cutting of timber and to the objects of the
friends of forestry.

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN 7

The reason for using two sets of double
engines, making four cylinders in all, is to
get rid of the compensating gear. Tests that
have been made show the logger capable of
carrying 20,000 feet of spruce logs per load
over a logging road of seven miles and
making two trips per day. It is claimed that
there is a vast saving in expense as compared
with horses.

ARRANGEMENT OF A FILING ROOM.

Eastern States. It is mounted on wheels in
the summer and a sled in the winter. An
endless lag bed makes the rear runner carry
practically the whole weight of the machine of
15 tons with the exception of about one ton
that bears on the forward sled. The runner is

driven by a pair of engines and takes its
steam at five-eighths stroke, so it can never
get on dead centre.

The runner, or endless lag bed, is made of
steel castings jointed together in such a way
as to run over the sprocket wheels with toe
cocks cast on them, the same as on a horse,
so when they come in contact with the snow
or ground there can be no slipping, even if it
strikes the glare ice. This runner is driven
through ‘its rear sprocket wheel, which is
constructed in such a way that the runner can
tilt at any position that the road may require.
The entire weight of the machine sets on a 5-
inch axle running through the runuer and
hung loose at the ends so that the runner
always tilts easily over rough going, rocks or
anything that it may come in contact with,
with a remarkable easy and quiet motion,
which it is impossible to get from a round
wheel.

The machine is the invention of O. A. Lom-
bard. It is driven by a 100 horse power
equipment. The boiler is a regular locomotive
boiler fitted with the necessary injectors,
water tank and suction hose for taking water
from springs or streams along the road.
Wood is used for fuel. The machine is re-
versible, the same as a locomotive, and will
run One way as well as the other. It has a
force draught, caused by the exhaust, the
same us‘a locomotive ; it also has a governor
on the steam pipe just before it branches to
each engine, which governor controls the
speed of the machine and is belted to the
main shaft. This governor is set to give the
machine a speed of 5 miles per hour, and
presents the advantage that the engineer may
pull the throttle wide open and the machine
will take care of its own speed in plunging in
and out of sharp pitches and cradle knolls,
and gets the necessary steam for up hills.

BETTER SYSTEM NEEDED IN MANU-
FACTURING.

Good machinery is not more essential to the
success of a manufacturing enterprise than is a
thoroughly modern office and factory system.
Every machine in your plant may be of the
latest and most expensive model, but if the
system upon which your business is conducted
is antiquated and inefficient you will be behind
the race and will probably meet with dis-
aster.

Scarcely too much emphasis can be put on
this point. Repeatedly I have been impressed with
the extent to which the manufacturer is inclined
to depend upon progress in machinery and to
neglect progress in office and factory methods.
If his machinery is in any way yeilding unsatis-
factory results, the first thing the manufacturer
seems to think of is ‘‘ Get a new machine or
hireanew man.” This is the common panacea,
and hundreds of manufacturing enterprises
have failed simply because improved machinery
was expected to accomplish what could only
be done by means of good sound business
system—that established routine of order act-
ing along the lines of common sense and sound
principles. ; |

Perhaps it would be easier for the manu-
facturer to see the situation in its true perspec-
tive if, for the moment, he would look at the
business organization of his house as a machine,
to be improved and brought up to a higher
degree of efficiency through his intelligent
effort along the line of progress. Certainly,
the moment he began to view his house as a
mach ine—and the most important one in his
plant, too—he could no longer remain indiffer-
ent to this phase of his business.

A cardinal weakness in most factory systems.

is a failure to get at the cost of production
with sufficient accuracy. Every article, book
or document that will in any manner throw
light upon this difficult problem should be
eagerly sought by the progressive manufac-
turer. He can afford to neglect nothing which
will aid in the accuracy and ease with which
his cost of production is to be determined.
Here is a matter in which guesswork will not

do, and where a fraction of a cent, in the ulti-
mate findings, is of serious moment.

Considering the importance of figuring the
cost of production to the finest fraction, the
laxity of the ordinary methods of computation
is surprising. When it is remembered that
the price he is to receive for his product, and
consequently the extent of his profit, depends
upon the exactness with whichhe isableto arrive
at the cost of production, no argument will be
needed to make plain to the uninitiated the
importance of this factor in the manufacturer’s
office system. However, I cannot refrain from
repeating that here is the common stumbling
block, su far as the accounting methods of the
manufacturer are concerned.

If a man knows what every article he manu-
factures costs him to produce, and is abso
lutely certain that not the most insignificant
element ot that cost has by any chance been
omitted, he is in a position to meet competi-
tion and to meet it closely. And unless he has
a cost system that demonstrates this result to
a certainty, his profits will, on those cases of
‘“close figures,” mysteriously change into
losses. -

Let me illustrate this phase of the matter by

the supposition that the buyer for a big depart-
ment store comes to me and asks for figures
on acertain large number of tables. When I
give him my price he replies: ‘‘You are just
$1,000 too high onthe lot. I can get it from
the other factory at $1,000 under your price.
As a matter of fact, I would rather get the
goods from you, and if you’ll meet the other
factory’s price you may have the order.”

Right there is where the test comes upon
the cost system of the house. We will say
that I could meet the figures of my competitor
and still have $500 profit, provided every
possible element of cost has been included in
the estimate. But if there has been a single
omission of any consideration whatever, I will
lose by taking the job.

It is human nature to make close prices and
meet competition, but I believe that in most
instances where this is done the small margin
of profit counted upon resolves into a small

aie ad
—

> a
AGSUUT, 1903

margin of actual loss through the failure of the
original figures to include every element of
direct and indirect cost. It is a remarkable
cost system which is so perfectly constructed
that nothing can be le‘t out. But it is possible
to have a system so carefully devised that 99
per cent. of cost possibilities are provided for.
Another important result achieved by a
thorough system in a manutacturing business
is to save waste of time on the part of expen-
sive heads of departments, thus allowing them
to give their whole effort and attention to
executive matters of genuine importance. In
other words, the complete situation in every s
department should be presented by regular —
routine.—Alexander H. Revell, in System. ‘

WASTEFUL AND UNNECESSARY. =

A correspondent of the Indianapolis Wood-
worker says : ‘‘To get out rough heading 1% ni
to 2 inches longer than the diameter of the
finished head is wasteful and unnecessary, — |
and many managers will not tolerate it. I
have turned thousands of sets of flour-barrel —
heading 17% inches diameter from rough
stock 18 inches long. I think that to allow a
very large margin like that causes men to do
their work in a slipshod, inaccurate manner.
It leads them to consider a great diversity of
lengths as good enough and later to conclude
that any old thing is good enough for anything :
all the way through their duties. Aside from
all that, a diversity of length always gives
trouble at the heading saw. The adjustment —
ot the dogs to catch difterent lengths of blocks,
every few blocks, will make cuss words come
to the surface if they are anywhere in the
vicinity. Again, the sawyer is apt to try to
saw blocks that are too short for the dog ad-
justment and let the block get away from him
—then what ?”

N. Thompson, of Thompson & Campany, Vancou-
ver, B. C., recently made a business trip through the
Arrow Lake and Lardeau country. He secured several
orders for machinery, including one for eight engines
and boilers for a steamer for the Yale-Columbia Lumber
Company.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

The first days of August have witnessed
no material change in the lumber market.
The buying has been confined chiefly to
small lots for sorting up purposes. The
tone of the market, however, is steady,
with indications of a satisfactory trade
during the fall months. The scarcity of
cars has rendered it impossible to keep

ing is also in good demand. The con-
sumption of hemlock lumber continues to
be heavy, and higher prices are predicted
by some manufacturers. Basswood, elm
and maple sell more readily than the
other hardwoods, although the general
hardwood situation is one of considerable
strength. Buyers willingly meet the

prices asked by manufacturers. This is
probably due to the fact that the latter
have pursued a conservative policy and
have not advanced prices to an unreason-
able basis.

There has been no improvement in the
shingle situation, and until the supply of
red cedars held by Ontario dealers shall
become reduced conditions promise to be
unsettled. For pine shingles the mills are
asking $2.70 for XXX, $1.90 for XX, and
65 cents for X.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Prices for spruce lumber are being main-
tained, by necessity if not by demand.
The feeling among manufacturers is that
a material decline in prices is out of the
question on account of the increased cost
of stumpage and labor. At the present
time very few sales of British deals are
taking place,for the reason that the British
market has responded slowly to the high
prices ruling on this side. There is a dis-
position to restrict the production of lum-
ber intended for that market and to give
more attention to shipments to the West
Indies, France, Australia and the United
States. Should there be a general falling
off in the lumber demand, the manufac-
turers claim that they are in a position to
restrict the log production during the
coming winter. There are about 30,000,000
feet of logs hung up on the St. John River
in New Brunswick, the greater part of
come out this year.
Smaller quantities of logs are huny up on
the streams in Nova Scotia.

The shingle demand is not altogether
satisfactory, although there is an under-
current of strength, due to the attitude
assumed by the large manufacturers, who
refuse to accept offers lower than $3.40
for extras on Boston rate of freight. It is
believed that shingles will strengthen later
in the season, but at the moment the de-
mand is scarcely equal to the offerings.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The country demand for lumber through-
out Manitoba and the Territories has
slackened, as the farmers are devoting
their time to preparations for harvesting
of the crops. The total yield of wheat by
the Canadian North-West is estimated at
60,000,000 bushels, a slight decrease from
that of last year, but still a_ bountiful crop.
When the harvest is gathered an increased
demand for lumber will doubtless arise.
In Winnipeg the chief call is for finishing
material, many of the buildings com-
menced early in the year being well on
towards completion.

their books. The logging industry, how-
ever, continues in an unsatisfactory con-
dition, chiefly on account of the depression
in the shingle trade. Many of the logging
camps are closed down. It is understood
that the Provincial Government have noti-
fied the Loggers’ Association that the law
prohibiting the exportation of logs to the
United States must stand. There contin-
ues to be a good demand for limits.
During the month of June 155 licenses to
cut timber on Government lands were is-
sued. Of these 99 were licenses to cut
on Government Jands in the Big Bend
and Duncan River district, Kootenay.

UNITED STATES.

The lumber demand throughout the
United States is irregular ; some districts
report an increase in the volume of trade,
others a falling off. At Duluth and Phila-
delphia prices of white pine are said to be
slightly easier. There has been no general
weakness, however, and business is about
as good as could be expected at this season
of the year. Farmers are engaged in
harvesting the crop and will not be in the
market for the early fall.
The wheat harvested shows a good yield
and the promise is for an average crop.
The yield of corn will perhaps be slightly
Jess than last year.

Stocks of lumber are accumulating to
some extent. This is not regarded in an
unfavorable light, as in the past many of
the mills have been handicapped in mak-
ing shipments on account of scarcity of
certain grades. Chicago dealers report a
better trade and less pressure to sell.
Norway pine is in light supply and strong.
There still prevails a disposition to advance
the price of demension. It is claimed that
not more than half of the regular supply
of demension is being turned out by the
mills, nearly everybody cutting inch
lumber almost exclusively. Thus the
shortage of dimension promises to be
further increased. Spruce lumber sells
readily. Throughout the Eastern States
clapboards are worth $45, $43 and $40.
The list for car frames from the mills is
unchanged at $19 for ordinary and $21 for
12-inch.

A very satisfactory movement of hard-
wood lumber is reported. Stocks in many
varieties are still scarce. In quartered
white oak it is said that the greatly in-
creased amount of dry stock available has
not been sufficient to satisfy the demand
in the slightest. Soft elm and birch are
selling very freely. The supply of bass-
wood has increased, although it is still be-
low normal. Maple is slightly lower, but
the demand is keeping up well. Manu-
facturers of maple flooring have shaded
prices, resulting in an increased volume of
orders. Laths are slightly weaker. In
Chicago No. 1 white pine are quoted at

lumber until

$3.35, No. 1 Norway and No. 1 hemlock
at $3, No. 2 white pine at $2.75, and No.
2 mixed at $2.50.

GREAT BRITAIN.

The reports of the British lumber mar-
ket this week are not of an entirely satis-
factory character. The consumption does
not show the improvement which had been
hoped for, and sellers have found it diffi-
cult to place large blocks of stock, the
tendency being to purchase for immediate
requirements only. There is a desire to
buy cheaper kinds of lumber instead of
pine deals whenever it is at all possible to
do so. At the last public sale in London
prices ruled steady, 3 x 9 spruce bringing
#10 10s per standard. A favorable feature
is the fact that importers are beginning to
recognize that there will be no fall in the
price of Canadian lumber this year. A
writer in the Timber News expresses a
favorable view of spruce in the following
words: ‘‘Spruce values are steadily im-
proving, and although the number of reg-
ular buyers at the auction sales is not
great, the competition among them is ex-
ceedingly keen. Many buyers who have
been waiting for a fall are very sorry they
did not accept the advice offered in these
columns some months ago, when we urged
spruce consumers to stock up.’ The same
writer, after referring to the shortage in
the log supply in Maine and New Bruns-
wick, says: ‘This extra demand from the
United States spells higher prices all
round, and coming on top of the existing
Canadian shortage gives both manufac-
turers and shippers much the best of the
strong position. In view of these circum-
stances, all tending in the direction of
reduced supplies abroad and higher quota-
tions here, would it not be greater wis-
dom for British consumers to promptly
cover their reasonable wants for the
present year?”

During the first six months of this year
British Columbia mills shipped by cargo
31,223,534 feet of lumber and 521,820

The market price for No. 1 short hem-
lock piece stuff in carloads delivered in
Chicago is $3.50. Water shippers are
finding the cargo trade rather weak, sales
for the present time being placed at
$10.50 to $11.00 at the mill, as against
$11.00 to $11.50 during the spring. There
is a good demand, however, at the lower

At a meeting of the directors of the
Vermillion River Boom Company, held in
Toronto on July 27th, it was reported that
the upper river drive will be down to the
mouth of the stream a month earlier than
it was last season, when «each owner
drove his own logs. The company will
handle more logs this season than in any
previous year.

The Edward Hines Lumber Company,
of Chicago, have taken a contract from
the Barnett & Record Company for 8,000
40-foot piles for the Canadian Northern
Railroad, to be delivered at Port Arthur,
Ont., within thirty days. The piles are to
be used for the foundations of elevators.
The piling is about the only wood used in
the work and the contract is one of the
largest undertaken this year.

Cooperage supplies are scarce. Second-
class elm staves are lowest in stock and
with a good apple crop in sight, prices
promise to advance. There is a slight
advance in staves and heading, first-class
elm flour and apple barrel staves selling in
Buffalo at $9.50 to $9.75; mill run elm,
$7.25 to $7.50; second-class, $5.50 to
$5.75 ; basswood heading, 634 to 7 cents
for first-class, 4% to 43{ cents for second-
class ; coiled hoops, $9.50 to $10 for 5%
foot and $10 to $10.50 for 6-foot ; hickory,
$6 to $6.75.

Under date of July 18th Messrs. S. P.
Musson, Son & Company say of the Bar-
bados lumber demand: ‘‘The only arri-
vals to note are a small lot by the schooner
“Talmouth”, not yet on offer, and the
schooner ‘‘Rhoda”, from Liverpool, N.S.,
with 212,000 feet, which was contracted
for some time ago. The stock is moder-
ate and fair prices should be maintained
for both shipping and second quality pine.
The demand for spruce is over. The ‘‘Tal-

270,000 on it, and freight of $300.00.
received a car in June with 360,25

beat for quantity.”

THE SPRUCE LOG SUPPLY.
The prospects of securing an am
supply of logs for the mills of Maine
improved during the past week, alth
it is still feared that there will be a con-
siderable shortage. On the Chaudie
river it is reported there are 50, ‘
feet of logs hung up, and at consid
expense operators are building a dam
the hope of raising sufficient water to fl
the logs. The same thing is in _contem- a.
plation, says the American Lumberman, ‘
on the Salmon river, where 25,000,000
feet are hung up. .
It is regarded as certain that about 10,-
000,000 feet of the East branch logs, be-
longing to Marsh, Lawlor & Murphy, will |
be left above Grand Lake until fall and
probably until next spring. The rear of
the Kennebec drive left the Forks on July
21, and although two weeks behind the
usual time, it is thought they will ea
the boom as early as last year.

It is reported that Minneapolis capital.
ists have purchased a large interest in the
Hastings Shingle Manufacturing Com-
pany, of Vancouver, B. C. It is stated ©
that there will be no change in the man-
agement of the mills and that they will
conducted as formerly. The company own,
a saw mill, planing mill and two shingle
mills at Vancouver and four shingle mills
in Washington.

THE WHITE PINE SITUATION.

Northern white pine continues strong,
with visible supplies much below the aver-
age, in some items this running to actual
scarcity, and the demand all that could be
asked for during the midsummer season.
The Mississippi Valley Lumberman says
that Northern Minnesota mills with few
exceptions notice little let-up in business.
The demand from Canadian points is still
active. Thousands of new settlers have
gone into Manitoba and the Canadian
mills being unable to meet the call, large
quantities have to be shipped across the
border. Manufacturers in the northern
part of Minnesota report the situation as
being very strong. Prices are as well
maintained as at any time of the year.
Some of the mills in central Minnesota
state trade has eased off a little, but this
was looked for at an earlier date. Du-
luth has been somewhat quiet and the
movement of lumber has not been heavy.
There is considerable inquiry, however.
Sales appear to be up to what could be
expected and there is some stock moving
all the time. The bulk of the spring saw-
ing is not yet dry enough to ship and the
_ larger part of the winter cut has been sold.
A trifling decline in some few grades is
noted, but as a whole the market is in
very fair shape. Manufacturers operat-
ing below Minneapolis report no change
in the situation. Trade is not heavy but
prospects are good. Values in that se>-
tion appear to be holding firm. The Iowa
dealers are making more inquiry for stock
‘than was the case three weeks ago.

No change is noted in the Minneapolis
price situation. Values on nearly all items
are well maintained. Dimension of about
all sizes continues scarce and some few
items cannot be picked up. There is plenty
of inch stock to supply present require-
ments. With favorable sawing conditions
stocks show continued improvement in
both assortment and size.

It would seem that this fall white pine
people will feel little competition from the
southern yellow pine manufacturers. In
the south is noted a severe and growing
scarcity of railway equipment. Lack of
motive power, principally, is holding down
lumber shipments and wholesalers make
the statement that not to exceed sixty per

cent. of their orders will be shipped during
the rest of the year. This will evidently
mean that less yellow pine will enter into
white pine territory and that the call for
the latter will be increased accordingly.

Minneapolis report a
somewhat light demand, though very fair
for July. A number state they receive all
the business that they can take care of,
because of depleted stocks. The time has
almost arrived for a substantial increase
n trade. This is shown by the larger
volume of inquiries coming in. Line
yards, while not buying heavily at this
time, are looking around. A few large
orders for future delivery have been
placed by them. That fall business will
be of very good proportions no one now
doubts.

THE BOSTON MARKET.

The market at Boston for spruce lum-
ber is still very quiet, and yet the situation

CANADA LOMBERMAN WEEKLY EDIfMON

TIMBER LIMIT TRANSACTIONS.

George Schneider, of Maryboro, Ont.,
has sold 400 acres of land and his saw
mill to Charles Neilson for the sum of
$18,800.

The Victoria Times states that John
Hanbury, formely of Brandon but now of
Vancouver, has purchased 3,850 acres of
timber lands on the Sechelt Inlet, British
Columbia, from the Thomson Estate of
Hamilton, Ont. It is said that $5 an acre
was paid for the timber, which is cedar
and fir of fine quality.

The sale of timber limits to be held this
fall by the Ontario Government will, ac-
cording to report, be the largest since
1885. In the neighborhood of 900 square
miles, or 25 townships, will be offered.
Much of the timber is located along the
lines of the Temiskaming and Northern
Ontario, Central Canada and Bruce Mines
and Algoma Railways.

In the item ina recent issue in reference

to the purchase of extensive timber lands
on Vancouver Island, B. C., by an Ameri-
can syndicate, the area was inadvertently
given as 50 acres. This should have read
50,000 acres. Later reports state that the
price was $12 an acre, although no official
announcement has yet been made. It is
said that M. King, of Victoria, has an op-
tion on 150,000 acres at the same price.

The name of the Edwin S. Hartwell Lum-
ber Company, Chicago, has been changed
to the Hermann H. Hettler Lumber Com-
pany, the officers of which are: President,
Hermann H. Hettler; vice-president, J. L.
Philip ; secretary, E. L. Casey.

The well known saw manufacturing firm of E. C.
Atkins & Company, Inc., of Indianapolis, Indiana, has
been making rapid strides during the past ten years,

their business having grown to immense proportions in.

all parts of the world, necessitating the establishing of
branch houses and salesrooms.

This wonderful growth has been followed by a cor-
responding increase in the capacity of their great plant
and, during the past four years, they have added
several new and extensive buildings, such as their
wood-working factory, hand saw building, gas works,
etc.

But the continued great demand for the saws and
tools bearing the Atkins brand has rendered even these
many improvements inadequate for their requirements,
and they were confronted with the problem of moving

when the fact is made known that the entire works
now cover about three blocks, and most of this space
is solidly built, up with three, four and five story brick
buildings. It is unquestionably the largest saw factory
in the world to-day.

Messrs. E. C. Atkins & Company have branch houses
at New York City, Memphis, Tenn., Atlanta, Ga.,

AMERICAN BLOWER COMPANY’S NEW
OFFICE BUILDING.

The accompanying cuts show the spacious new office
building lately built by the American Blower Company,
of Detroit, Mich. The business of this company has in-
creased so rapidly during the last two years that the
old offices, which occupied valuable space in one of the
factory buildings, became entirely inadequate to ac-
commodate the increased office force.

This new building is devoted entirely to the Com-
pany’s offices and is located on Russell street at the
head of Harper ayenue. No expense was spared in

New OFFICE BUILDING OF THE AMERICAN BLOWER
ComMPANY, DETROIT, MICHIGAN.

making this building a model of convenience and taste,
and the building without question represents the high-
est development in modern office construction. The
architectural design by Malcolmson & Higginbotham,
architects, of Detroit, follows closely approved classic
proportions, and the detail is adapted Colonial.

The first floor is occupied entirely by the different
commercial departments, while the second floor is used
by*the engineering and drafting departments. The
basement is used for the storage of- catalogues, letter
files, etc. The small building on the roof is the blue
print and dark room, being located in that position to
secure the best light for sun printing.

The building is equipped with every modern conveni-
ence, including electric lights, annunciator bells, dumb
waiter, an outside telephone system and an independent
inside, or house system, inter-connecting all offices and
different departments in the shop. A switch-board for
each of these systems is located in the lobby.

But the main interest in the equipment of this build-
ing is in the mechanical system of heating and ventilat-
ing. As the manufacture of heating and ventilating ap-
paratus forms a large part of the American Blower
Company’s business, this part of the office equipment
naturally received due attention. This system, it is
claimed, represents the very largest and best practice
in heating and ventilating. It has every possible ad-
vantage, with none of the many disadvantages of dir-
ect steam or hot water radiation, by producing an even,
pleasant temperature, and perfect ventilation without
drafts. In general the operation of the system is as
follows :

The apparatus is located at one side of the basement,
as shown in the accompanying plan. The fresh air en-
ters the building through the basement window ‘“F”
and by means of the fan ‘‘A’” is drawn over a coil of
pipes “‘E”, called the tempering coil. The steam pipes
in this tempering coil are just sufficient in number and
length to heat the volume of entering air to a tempera-
ture of 65 or 70 degrees Fahr. The fresh air is then
drawn into the fan and forced over another heater ‘‘Q’’.
This is the main heater and is designed to heat the air
to about 140 degrees. Beyond the heater is located a
large brick chamber ‘‘G” called the plenum chamber.
This serves as a reservoir for the heated air and from
this chamber the air is conveyed by galvanized iron
pipes ‘‘H”’ to the various offices. Under the main heater
“D” is a passage or by-pass, as-it is called, which per-
mits a part of the air from the fan to pass under the
main heater coil and into the plenum chamber. This
passes into the lower section of the plenum chamber,
which is separated from the upper part. Thus the ple-
num chamber is divided into two“parts, as shown by

accompanying sectional elevation, the upper chamber
containing hot air at approximately 140 degrees and
the lower section tempered air at 7o degrees.

As shown by this sectional view, each individual pipe
leading off to the offices above, has two connections to
this plenum chamber, one branch to the upper section
and another to the lower. In each main where the pipe
divides into these two sections there is located a set
of double swinging dampers, or mixing dampers. Each
set of these dampers is controlled automatically by a
diaphragm valve shown on the outside of the pipe in the
sectional view. These automatic valves are part of a
system of automatic heat control which was furnished
by the Johnson Service Company, of Milwaukee, Wis.
These valves are operated by compressed air, which
is supplied by a small air compressor, located in the
basement. This compressor works by city water pres-
sure and delivers air at about 15 pounds pressure. The
system of temperature regulation is as perfect in oper-
ation as it is simple in principle. In each office is
located a thermostat which can be set to control the
room temperature at any desired point. These ther-
mostats work upon the principle of the unequal expan-
sion and contraction of brass and steel. These ther-
mostats are all connected by head pipes, of about 3/8”
bore, with their respective diaphragm valves. On the
expansion or contraction of a piece of brass and steel
in the thermostat, air pressure is admitted or cut off
from the diaphragm valve and the mixing dampers are
swung one way or the other as the case may be. It
will be noted that these mixing dampers in swinging do
not cut off the flow of air, but simply vary the propor-
tion of hot and tempered air as controlled by the ther-
mostat to maintain a constant temperature in the room.
Thus a constant flow of pure air of the proper tempera-
ture is maintained to all times. Under the tempering
coil there is also a by-pass similar to the one under the
main heater. This by-pass is fitted with a swinging
damper which is controlled by a thermostat placed in
the upper part of the plenum chamber. Thus if the air
in the plenum chamber becomes too hot,the thermostat
opens the damper under the tempering coil, instead of
through it. The air is admitted to each room at a point
about eight feet above the floor.

As shown in the accompanying cut the fan is operat-
ed by adirect connected vertical engine. This engine
is also the American Blower Company’s own make, and
is specially designed for this class of work.

Another unique feature of this plant is the exhaust
fan, which is direct coupled to the same engine which

runs the heating fan and which draws the impure or
vitiated air out of the building. Thus while one fan is
discharging pure warm air into the building, the other
fan on the same shaft is drawing out the impure air.
This is the main feature of mechanical ventilation
which has brought it into such general favor during
the last few years for use in public buildings.

In each office on the first floor there is located an or-
namental register face at the floor line, opening into
the corridor which extends through the centre of office.
The air is thence drawn down through the large regis-
ter in the floor at the rear of the corridor and after pass-

ing. The air from the drawing room and second storey ‘Se
offices is drawn down through the flue at side of vault,

The condensation from the heating apparatus is re-
turned to a Webster feed-water heater located in the
engine room of the factory, by means of the Webster
vacuum system, which was furnished by the American
Engineering Specialty Comvany, of Chicago. This q
same system handles all the condensation from two
other heating plants located in the factory. The ad-
vantage of this vacuum system is that it eliminates the
back pressure from the factory engine when using ex- —
haust steam for heating and also removes the air from
the heating coils and connecting pipes as fast as it ac-
cumulates, thus making the heating surface far more,
effective than it otherwise would be.

Only one thing remains to be mentioned, and that i Ss
the economy of this system. As the heating coils ut ze
the exhaust steam from the factory engine, whi
brought into the basement through an undergrout
conduit,.and as the fan engine exhaust is also turn
into the heater coil, the cost of operating the system is”
practically nothing, as only steam that would oth
wise be wasted is used, and without back press’
It is claimed that no other system offers the same
nomy, even temperature and pure air that this sys
does.

Taken as a whole, this building with its equipme
by many said to be the most complete of any bui

NOTES ON THE PROPER CARE OF _
BOILERS.* a os

By JOHN M. CONNAUGHY. fi 4 -

There has been a great deal written by di fe
ferent authors on the subject of care and man-
agement of boilers. Valuable advice has been
given, yet boiler explosions and accidents still
occur. Therefore too much cannot be said to
impress upon the mind of the stationary engin-
eer the importance of taking care of boilers. —
The first and most important thing to begin
with is a good, sound boiler, for if the boiler
is an old and dilapidated concern, the best and
most skilful engineer cannot make it safe and
reliable, and the only advice I can give in any
case like this would be to have nothing to do—

with it, as not only his reputation as an eng
eer would be at stake, but also his life and
lives of others.

When taking charge of a plant that fe i
been run for some time, the engineer should |
lose no time in ascertaining as far as possible
the exact condition of the boilers, and at the
first opportunity he should make an internal
and external examination, and see that they

are free from scale and incrustation. If they
are not, he should see that they are thorough-
ly cleaned both inside and outside of the shell.
When a boiler is once thoroughly cleaned, the
competent engineer will always resort to the
proper means of keeping it so, as far as con-
ditions will allow.
The accumulation of scale can be in a mea-

fastenings should be examined. The shell of
the boiler should be thoroughly cleaned on the
outside, as soot is a bad conductor of heat,
holds dampness, and is liable to cause corro-

kept clean and in good working condition.
The pumps or injectors should be in the best

sure avoided by blowing small quantities of
water from the bottom and surface blow-offs,
as all minerals held in suspension become of
greater specific gravity than the water. When
heated, the tendency by specific gravity is to
settle towards the bottom, while the lighter
portions remain upon the top and float in the
form of ascum. I have found that by fre-
quent blowing from the surface and bottom
blow-offs much of the mineral substance which
forms scale will be carried out before it can
settle sufficiently to attach itself to the iron.
By so doing much of the trouble from scale
may be avoided.
_ Notwithstanding all the care that may be
taken, in some localities where the water is
_ largely impregnated with minerals, a certain
_ amount of scale will accumulate in spite of the
efforts of the most careful and experienced
engineer. There are various devices and com-
pounds on the market which have proved effec-
tive and in a measure beneficial for preventing
this scale. Others are of a doubtful character,
and I would advise before using a compound
_ to have a chemical analysis made of the feed
water, as the nature of the supply receives too
little attention.

I know engineers having charge of boilers
with man-holes under the tubes who do all
their cleaning from below the tubes and do

__ In cleaning boilers, all manholes and hand-

tubes. The engineer should then go inside

e that has been lodged between the tubes
be taken out. On the inside, all the seam
and tube ends should be examined for

boiler and water column, and also the gauge

they are sadly neglected by some engineers.
The brickwork should be kept in good condi-
tion, and all air holes stopped, as they decrease
the efficiency of the boiler, and are liable to
cause injury to the plates by burning.

pressure cause expansion and contraction of
the plates.

Never open the fire doors to cool your boiler.
Close the ashpit doors and open the smokebox
doors in case you get too much steam, as open-
ing the fire door causes too much: contraction
by the cold air cooling the furnace. It would
be better to allow steam to blow off from the
safety valve, which will not in any way injure
the boiler.

The safety valve should be raised from its
seat every day to make sure that it does not
stick from any cause, and observe from the
steam gauge if the valve blows off at the pres-
sure it is set for.

It is of the highest importance to keep the
blow-off pipe free from sediment of any kind,
as the pipe is liable to fill up and burn off, and
the only way to keep it free is to open the
blow cock often enough to keep everything
flushed out.

The best time to blow off is in the morning
before the fires have been started up, as a good
deal of sediment in the boiler will then have
settled to the bottom of the shell, and much of
it will pass out when the cock is opened. Noon
is also a good time, after the fires have been
banked for half-an-hour or more, so that the
water in the boiler has been quiet long enough
to deposit the particles that are being whirled
about with it through all parts of the boiler.

When the blow-off cock is opened, it must
be remembered that it is not to be yanked wide
open and then closed the same way. This
practice is very dangerous. No valve about a
steam system ought to be closed suddenly ex-
cept in time of emergency, because the sudden
strain on the pipe and fittings is liable to cause
a rupture in the pipe or else break the elbow or
valve. The boiler is the life of any plant, and
my advice to all owners of steam plants is to
keep a first-class engineer, one who is strictly
temperate, pay him good wages, and give him
the necessary material, and his plant will get
the proper care and management.

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN

MACHINERY EXHIBIT.

An attractive exhibit is that of H. W. Petrie,
the well-known dealer in general machinery,
Front Street, Toronto. In common with other
industries in Canada, they have found their old
quarters inadequate to meet the demands of
the rapidly developing trade of the country,
and therefore determined to annex a large new

MUTUAL POLICY CONTRACTS.

The following paper bearing upon the sub-
ject of lumber fire insurance was read at the
last convention of the National Wholesale Lum-
ber Dealers’ Association by Mr W. C. Johnson,
president of the Lumber Mutual Fire Insurance
Company of Boston :

In addressing this meeting of companies specially

engaged in the insuring of lumber and wood-
working risks, I have to congratulate you all on the

space of over sixty thousand square feet.

The illustrations we give herewith will serve
to show the magnificent nature of this new
machinery depot, situated as it is right in the
centre of the city, next the Union Depot.

The new addition will be used tor the dis-
play of new machinery only, the re-built
machinery being shown in the building that
has been occupied for years. By the great
improvement Mr. Petrie will be able to meet
adequately any demands that may be made
upon him for the requirements of the trade.

During the Exhibition in Toronto, the new
building will be open to the public daily, and
also in the evenings, when it will be gorgeously
illuminated by electricity. The immense dome

of the new building has its galleries draped
with bunting and flags. Three more large
' galleries and an immense crane are to be put in
the building. Thirty car loads of new machi-
nery of all kinds is now exhibited. Altogether
nearly one thousand machines and parts are
exhibited, which makes it a magnificent sight
and of great interest to all users of ma-
chinery.

A cordial invitation is extended to all visit-
ing Toronto to call and sce this exhibit.
Those arriving by train can walk through the
Depot into the Petrie Machinery Exhibit and
take street cars at the main door for any part
of the city.

The complete stock of iron and wood work-
ing tools here shown includes such lines as are
manufactured by the Cincinnati Milling Machine
Co., the Cincinnati Planer Co., the Bickford
Drill Co., the Waterous Engine Co., London
Machine Tool Co., and many other makes of

taking insurance of risks always considered by all
underwriters as extra hazardous. I attribute this success
principally to the fact that you are mutual companies.
I am informed, and I believe it to be true, that com-
panies which issue both stock and mutual policies,
insuring identically the same classes of risk and at
the same rate, find the loss ratios to premiums larger
on the stock policies than on the mutual policies.
MUTUAL POLICY HOLDERS MAKE FAIR CLAIMS.

not approve, but we always manage to make a cx

differences amicably, so we get along well. ;

Having such fair and reasonable policy holde
know that every man representing these mutua
panies has always in his mind, as his first duty, t

and conditions of contracts.

and say that it is absolutely essential that all ri:

This brings me to the consideration of ‘M

To my mind, the most important question, z
one always before me, is the question of the
the amount of insurance carried to value of the pr

RELATION OF INSURANCE TO VALUE.

own risk, with resulting benefit tothe company in sav-
ing on losses and to himself in increased dividends.

When losses come the policyholder in a stock com-
pany, understanding that the stock company is in the
business for profit, he cannot help but feel, in great-
er 6r less degree, according to the man, that it is his
turn now, and the majority feeling they have always
paid to high a rate, the loss claim is certainly made no
less because of that feeling.

In loss claims of a mutual company which has fixed
a reasonable rate and paid a reasonable and regular
dividend, the assured’s claim is, in a great majority
of cases, fairly made up to cover his actual loss and
damage, and all idea of making a profit out of the fire
eliminated.

Having decided on the rate that is adécqite 20
ering that a certain percentage of insurance is in for
the time of the issue of the policy, it is necessary, if
rate is to continue fair and equitable to all, that

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN

centage of insurance to value must continue during
the life of the policy.

’ For illustration: If a $20,000 stock of lumber is in-
sured for $12,000 (60 per cent. of value) at a fair rate
of 1% per cent., and the stock of lumber is increased
to $30,000, so that the $12,000 insurance is only 4o per
cent. of value, the rate of 1% per cent. at once becomes
inadequate, and should be raised to 13¢ per cent.

_ As it is manifestly impossible for the insurance com-
panies to know of these changes of value of stock, the
only equitable way as between policy holders to carry
the risk is to require the assured to guarantee a certain

é tage of insurance to value. It will make no
ence what percentage of value you fix upon, so
as all policy holders insure to same percentage of

ao a value of $20,000 is to be protected.

~ If all insure for 40 per cent. of value on $8,000 at 1 3f
per cent., $140 premium.

If all insure for 60 per cent. of value on aie 000 at

1% per cent., $180 premium.

“If all insure for 80 per cent. of value on $16,000 at
1 per cent., $200 premium.

_ All paying in the same premium for protection to the
same percentage of value of pro-
perty, the business becomes
mutual i in fact as well as in name.

But now suppose one policy

another carries $4,000 insurance

man has paid in even at

the higher rate only $80 pre-

Notwithstanding the differ-

inrate charged, the man who

receives just as much on the loss
as the man who paid in two and

one-half times as much. This is
_mot mutual insurance. Much

_ The equity of the 80 per cent. coinsurance clause is

one-quarter part of $1,000, or $250, and pays himself

* three-quarter part of $1,000, or $750.

You will notice he paid $40 premium and receives
$250, while the other party paid four times as much
premium, or $160, and receives four times as much loss,
or $1,000. This is equitable and mutual insurance.

The fact of an 80 per cent. coinsurance clause in
policies will not prevent the policy holder carrying
more or less than 80 per cent. of value in his policies,
as he elects. I am not, however, in favor of allowing
any reduction of rate for insurance above 80 per cent.
I believe if the owner has a chance to stand part of his
loss the risk will be better cared for.

Many do not understand exactly how the 80 per
cent. coinsurance clause works, but many more do,
and some write us as follows: ‘‘We will not entertain
such a proposition on our lumber because the fluctua-
tions are so wide and so rapid.”

How can we name a fair rate to a party who knows
the conditions of his risk are subject to such ‘‘wide and
rapid” changes? He wants the insurance company,
which knows nothing about these changes, to take all
the chances on them. We respectfully decline to carry
such risks without coinsurance.

Another party a few days since proposed to us to
pay a $2.40 rate for $10,000 insurance on $50,000

value, because, as they said, $10,000 was all they were
likely to lose. That we declined, because a 20 per
cent. loss on any part of the ri-k meant a total loss to
the company.

Before the days when coinsurance was so nearly
universal as now, I well remember having insurance to
about $5,000 to $8,000 on my $20,000 to $25,000 value
of stock, and special agents ordering my insurance
cancelled because I carried so small a percentage ot
insurance to value.

Outside of the fire department or adequate private
protection the condition is different, especially as to
mills whose life depends on the owner's care.

It is not safe bus/ness if the owner be permitted to
carry insurance to full value. He might lose all inter-
est to protect the plant. The surest way to interest
him in event of a loss is to attach a three-quarter cash
value clause to his policies.

This limits the assured’s collection to 75 per cent. of
the actual cash value at time of fire, leaving the owners
to lose 25 per cent. of such loss and damage, if total.
This fixes in the owner’s mind the financial necessity to
him to use every means in his power to protect the
property.

These two principles—of 80 per cent. coinsurance on
protected property ; 75 per cent. cash value clause on
unprotected property—is the keystone of the arch on

which the Lumber Mutual is being built up. The com-
panies adopting these principles are the surest to
succeed, are the fairest to the assured, and are mutual.

With these two questions of policy disposed of, we
may construct the forms of contract and lay down the
principle :

(1st) Each building and all other articles of fixed or
unchanging values shall be specifically insured to not
over 80 per cent. of owner’s valnation.

(2nd) For the convenience ot the assured and to pro-
tect him better, his stock in trade should be blanketed
in all sheds and in yard. The blanket policy floats
over and protects the assured against his every change
in value of stock in each shed or location. Any yard
may have a shed containing to-day $2,000 worth of
stock, insured for $2,000. Ina week hence additions
to value may make stock in same shed worth $5,000.

If the lumber in this shed is specifically insured, the
owner one week has 100 per cent. insurance to value
and the next week only 4o per cent. of value. While
the value in this one shed is increasing, that in another
may be decreasing, so that if both are specifically in-
sured the changing values of stock may make the in-
surance in one case be only 4o per cent. of value and
in another 200 per cent. of value.

In one case in event of fire the assured collects only
40 per cent. of his loss. In the
other case he collects his loss,
but only gets one-half what he
paid for.

A blanket torm covering stock
in all buildings and in yard and
on cars, while at assured’s risk,
is but justice to the assured, and
let it float over and protect the

whole property.
INSURANCE ON LUMBER AT MILLS

OR POINT OF MANUFACTURE.

The condition under each in-
surance of this kind must be
taken very much as the mills
themselves. Some have protec-
tion and some none; some
forest exposure and some none;
some railroad exposure and some
none; some with varying clear
spaces from mill and some none.
Some are piled in one block and
some in six blocks, separated by
anywhere from roo feet to one-
fourth mile, and if we insure
these all at the prevailing rate
we have nothing mutual about it,
Each risk must be separately
and specifically rated.

Until this can be done we are
taking these risks at the best
obtainable rate, but always in-
serting a “‘Lcoation Clause,” so
called, to prevent our getting caught, as once at
a mill in Maine, where by insuring for $10,000
covering lumber ‘stuck along switch tracks,” we
found, on investigation,the switch tracks about two and
one-half miles long and five separate and distinct yards,
with over one-fourth mile between and about $10,000
value in each yard.

By insuring for $10,000, $50,000 value of lumber was
fully protected. Our friends were pratically insuring
five risks for one premuim.

One enterprising manufacturer I heard of, from
Wisconsin, I beleive, laid his seasoning yard out with
300 feet clear space down the centre, and with separate
locations for storage of lumber each side, and 200 feet
clear space between each location.

Then by sticking up about $25,000 worth in each
location, and having eight separate locations, separated
one way by 300 feet space and the other way by 200
feet space, had the whole so nicely arranged he want-
ed to insure for $25,000 only on a blanket form at a flat
rate and protect himself fully, while the insuring com-
pany carries eight separate risks of $25,000 each —
$200,000 in all for one premuim on $25,000.

Nice little scheme, wasn’t it, particularly if he could
succeed in working it on a mutual company and save
20 or 30 per cent. dividends besides?

THE SCANDINAVIAN PULP MARKET.

Mr. C. E. Sontum, Canadian Government
Commissioner for Norway and Sweden, says
regarding the pulp market: ‘‘The bad col-
lapse of the market for mechanical wood pulp,
after a protracted period of shortage of pro-
duction, strongly points to a considerable over-
production, and as the bids now coming to
hand are even kroners below the cost price,
the Norwegian pulp-makers fully acknowledge
the desirability of, or rather the necessity for
a large restriction of the output. The man-
agement committee of the Norwegian Wood-
Pulp Association is in active correspondence
with the Swedish section on this question, and
it is to be hoped that at the general meeting of
both sections to be held in the near future an
agreement may be arrived at.”

——_—_——

DUTY ON ROSSED PULP WOOD.

A final decision has apparently not yet been
reached by the United States authorities con-
cerning a duty on rossed pulp wood. As stat-
ed in last issue, the Treasury Department de-
cided that a duty of 35 per cent. ad valorem
should be levied on rossed and shaved pulp
wood imported from Canada. Many manu-
facturers of pulp and paper protested against
the assessment of the duty and demanded an in-
vestigation. A hearing was to have been held
on June 29th, and meanwhile the order was re-
scinded. The hearing, however, was post-
poned, and itis said that it will take place
about the 1st of August.

The fact that the Treasury Department con-
cluded to revoke the action, temporarily at
least, is regarded as paramount to an admis-
sion that the duty should not have been levied,
and the interests concerned believe that the
final outcome will be the rescinding of the
regulation.

THE PULP INDUSTRY IN NEWFOUNDLAND.

It is predicted that the recent purchase by
Harmsworth Bros., of London, Eng., of ex-
tensive timber lands in Newfoundland for pulp
purposes will mark the beginning of an im-
portant industry in that colony. Much of the
spruce timber is what is designated ‘‘black
spruce,” which is said to produce ‘‘without
exception ‘he best and strongest pulp fibre of
any wood in Europe or in the Northern States
of America.” Again, Newfoundland is rich in
sulphur, which is found in the form of iron
pyrites, frequent y yielding 50 per cent. of pure
The water powers which the country
possesses are of great power and extent. In
many respects, indeed, Newfoundland presents
itself as an almost ideal source of pulp and
paper supply.

The state of the law in Newfoundland until
a year or two back had a good deal to do with

the comparative backwardness of that colony
in the exploitation of its timber resources. Up
to 1899 the payment of an initial bounty of $25
per mile entitled a lessee to a lease for twenty-
one years, which was renewable. In that
year, however, a new law came into force,
under which the first bounty payable was one

ot five dollars per mile, whereupon a lease —

issues for ninety-nine years, subject only to an
annual rental of three dollars per mile and to
some other conditions by no means so burden-
some as the other ones were.

POSSIBILITIES OF THE PULP INDUSTRY.

On several occasions we have been asked,
apparently by persons looking for a field for
the investment of capital, to give our views as
to the prospects for pulp mills in Canada. A
late communication asks whether there is a
demand for all the pulp that is row produced
in Canada.

[It is impossivle to answer these questions
with any degree of certainty. The pulp busi-
ness will probably be found to be profitable
only to the extent of the prosperity of the coun-
try at large. Should there be a reversal in the
near future to a period of depression, it is un-
likely that the pulp industry would continue
prosperous while other branches of trade were
in an unhealthy condition. Other things being
equal, however, it would seem that the pulp
industry offers fair possibilities for the invest-
ment of capital.

The increase in the production of pulp that
has taken place within the past few years will
needs be reckoned with. Many new mills have
been built, while others are in course of con-
struction, some of them of large capacity.
When these are in operation the production
will have been greatly increased. The con-
sumption of paper is growing very rapidly, and
the market has up to the present time been able
to consume the increased production of pulp.
Whether this will be the case in the future
remains to be seen.

Pulp mills that are favorably situated for
export trade should be found paying invest-
ments, providing they are properly designed
and so located as to obtain a supply of pulp
wood at reasonable cost. Too many mills
have been built in Canada without the employ-
ment of a first-class designing expert, and the
results tell their own story.

The appreciation which has taken place in
the value of spruce and other kinds of timber
has not been reflected in the price of paper. If
the cost of pulp wood is to continue to advance,
manufacturers of pulp may probably find that it
will be necessary to advance the price of pulp
in order to realize a fair margin of profit on the
capital invested.

The position of the pulp industry of this

. country would doubtless be improved if th

laws entirely prohibited the export of p
wood. The situatiom at present permits the
export of pulp wood fromm the provinces of
Quebec, New Brunswick and Nowa Scotia,
while exports of pulpto the Unite 1 States am
subjected to a duty. The natural inclination,
therefore, is to import the pulp wood rai
than the pulp.
Se
PROCESS OF MAKING WOOD PULP, |
Among the patents recently issued is o
Viggo Drewsen, of New York, for a new
cess of making wood pulp. ‘‘ It is kno
those skilled in the art,” says Mr. Drew
‘that when wood is cooked in the bisu
liquor the liquor must penetrate the
thoroughly before the temperature of the | co

phurous gas and the steam in the digester
cause the incrusting or non fibrous mate!
turn brown, and thus produce spots |
pulp. The object of my invention is to
this defect. ‘

‘‘ The ideal method would be to exhat
air from the digester containing the woo
then force the cooking liquor into fe

of producing the vacuum and the use of
sure is too expensive for practical use. I
found that practically the same result
obtained if the wood chips are dipped i
suitable liquor at ordinary temperatur )
stored in the bins before the wood is introd ice
into the digester. It would not be practic
however, to use the ordinary hisulphite of
liquor for this purpose, because the odor
sulphurous acid is too strong and offensiv
because the acid liquor destroys the ma
of which the bins are composed.

‘‘ My invention consists in the discovery
I can obtain the desired result by soaking
wood chips prior to their introduction into
digester and the ordinary cooking liquor in
solution of a monosulphite which is soluble
water, such as Na,SO,MgSO,, etc. The wa
solution of the monosulphite is neutral,
slightly alkaline, has no odor, and does |
attack the material composing the bins.
strength of the solution may, of course,
varied, but I have found thata solution of fi
parts of sodium sulphite (Na,SO,7aq) to.
hundred parts of water is efficient.”

PULP NOTES.

The death is announced, in London, England, of E.
A. Bremner, who organized the Sturgeon Falls Pulp
Company.

The Bowdoin Paper Company, of Topsham, Me.,
have lately received a large quantity of pulp wood
from Nova Scotit.

The Canada Paper Company have completed their
paper mill at Windsor Mills, Que., and are about to
build a new pulp mill.

E. B. Hickman & Sons, of Westchester, Pa., have a
contract to take out a large quantity of poplar wood,
which will be shipped to Philadelphia for making pulp.

The Laurentide Pulp Company has made application
to have its name changed to the Laurentide Paper
Company, Limited, and for power to increase its capital
to $2,800,000.

According to the annual report, the Quebec and
Lake St. John Railway Company carried in one year
2,256 cars of pulp wood and 555 cars of pulp and paper,
out of a total of 12,319 cars of freight.

The Sault Ste. Marie Pulp & Paper Company is in-
stalling a fifteen ton paper plant in its power house

building on the American side. The pulp for the mill
will be taken from the company’s plant in the Cana-
dian Soo.

A dispatch from Victoria, B. C., says that Benton E.
Turner, a New York capitalist, is about to erect a pulp
mill at the mouth of the Powell river, having secured
250 square miles of spruce timber lands located along
the coast.

The William Hamilton Manufacturing Company, of
Peterborough, Ont., are supplying’ water wheels and
other machinery for the large addition now being made
to the pulp mill of the Chicoutimi Pulp Company at
Chicoutimi, Que.

It is expected that the large pulp mill of the North
Shore Power, Railway & Navigation Company at
Seven Islands, Que., will be completed for operations
next year. The capacity of the mill will be about 250
tous of pulp per day.

The Cushing Sulphite Fibre Company, of St. John,
N. B., last month elected the following officers: Presi-
dent, Captain Partingdon ; vice-president, Thomas Mc-

Avity ; secretary and treasurer, H. W. Schofield ; man-
ager, James Beverley.

It is now definitely known that the new mill under

construction at the Chaudiere by J. R. Booth, of Otta-
wa, isto bea pulp mill. It will have fifteen grinders
and fifteen water wheels. [ft is said that Mr. Booth
will build a paper mill also.

The Nova Seetia Wood Pulp & Paper Company, of
Mill Village, N. S., are just completing a ground pulp
milf fo replace the one burned last spring. It is equip-
ped with four New England grinders and will have a
capacity of 4o tons per day.

The Jenckes Machine Company, of Sherbrooke, Que.,
have installed three new water wheels for the Mont.
rose Paper Mills at Thorold, Ont. The wheels are of
the Croker patent, set in a horizontal cylindrical steel
case 17% feet long x ro feet in diameter.

A sale was held in Quebec City a few days ago ofa
shipment of 2,636 bales of pulp landed in a damaged
condition from the steamship Protector, which was
stranded on Bar Reef at the mouth of the Saugenay
River. It was bought in by J. McNaughton, of Que-
bec, at twenty-five cents a bale.

According to a dispatch from H. M. Consul at
Stettin, a British firm is now erecting at Sydowsan,
near Stettin, a factory for the production of artificial
silk from wood pulp by a new process. The pulp is
treated with chemicals, pressed by hydraulic power
through minute tubes into a further chemical bath,
after which the finished product is spun. It can be
woven into any desired fabric, which is said to be equal
to fine silk.

GERMAN METHOD OF DRYING WOOD.
It is generally supposed that wood which
has been for some length of time ina drying
room, exposed to a heat of from 50° to 60° C.
(122° to 140° F.), is perfectly dry and fit for use
without there being any fear that it will shrink;
. split, or bend ; but this supposition is not al-
a Ways correct, as even an expert woodworker
may be mistaken as to whether it is perfectly
dry or not, unless he knows the exact treat-
ment the wood has received from the time
when it was felled in the forest until it left the
drying room.
So far it is little known, writes Mr. O. J.D.
ughes, United States Consul at Coburg, that
wood which has been floated in rafts or other-
‘wise gives a more reliable joinery and building
material than that which has been carried by
cart or rail to the sawmill and workshop.
While the wood is lying in the water its sap
and albuminous and salty substances are—ow-
ing to the diffusing effect exercised by the
water—dissolved and come out of the pores,
the water taking their places. This dissolving
process, quite similar to that which takes place
during the manufacture of sugar out of cane
or beets, will progress more slowly at the or-
dinary temperature of river water—i.e., at from
12° to 18° C. (52° to 65° F.)—than it would at
ya higher temperature, but the length of time
rafts in Germany usually spend on their jour-
“ney down rivers is entirely sufficient for this
process to take place, even at an unfavorable
_ temperature.
__ The salty and other substances in the wood,
_ like albumen and wood gum, are hygroscepic
—i. e., they eagerly absorb the dampness in
» the atmosphere, so that apparently wood which
has been kept in dry drying rooms for a suffi-
cient length of time is apt to become damp
_ again in the open air unless it has, when float-
‘ing down the river, gone through the above-
mentioned diffusing or washing-out process.
With the better qualities of wood a secretion
of the hygroscopic substances is brought about
artificially in our local drying establishments
with the help of a special apparatus. The
t ards or planks are piled up in a long iron
Sx x, with narrow Spaces between ; the lid is
then tightly screwed down, so that neither
a water nor steam can escape. Steam is then
tned into the box at a continuous pressure of
} OF 0.3 atmospheres, and this process is

made right.

the exact length of time being determined by the
hardness and density of the wood. The steam
opens up the wood and kills the protoplasm
which is still alive in the ¢ells. After having
been thus prepared the wood goes into the
water bath, where it is kept for about a fort-
night.

The drying process, as practiced here, is
about as follows: The boards are loaded on a
small cart, leaving small spaces between them
by placing narrow strips in position. The cart
is then pushed into the first drying room. The
size of these rooms differs a good deal ; they
are mostly from 20 to 30 meters (66.45 to 84.-
25 feet) long, with breadth and height to cor-
respond. The temperature is kept between 50°
and 60° C. (122° and 140° F.). Steam or hot-
water pipes, placed on one side and underneath
the flooring, supply the necessary heat, fresh
air being admitted from one side by openings
which can be wholly or partially closed by
means of slides. At times, when the fresh air
does not enter fast enough, exhausters and
ventilators are employed.. The air, after be-
coming heated and passing between the layers
of wood, becomes saturated with its moisture
and is then forced out at the other side of the
room by numerous openings or a long slit con-
nected with the outer air by openings leading
to the roof. 4

In most establishments the wood, after hav-
ing been in the first heating room for a suffi-
cient length of time, is taken right into the
workshop. This, however, is not the best
method; it is better to have the first drying

process followed by a second one in another |

drying room, which is heated by means of a
stove extending its whole breadth, provided
with fuel—usually coke—from the outside.
The process is then about the following : Each
board or plank that comes from drying room
No. 1 is given an exact rectangular shape at
one end ; it is then loaded on a cart and put
into the second drying room, after which the
door is closed and any loose places that may
become noticeable are filled up with mortar.
The fire is then started and brought to a red
heat, plenty of air being allowed to pass over
the fuel, while the smoke is carried off by reg-
ulating outlets, which are provided underneath
and beside the cart. After from fifty to sixty
hours the cart is taken out and each piece of
wood carefully examined as to whether it has
kept the exact rectangular shape with which it

27

* was provided before being put into the heating

room. Those pieces which have kept their
shape may be considered as quite dry and
ready for use, while the others will be once
more cut rectangular at one end and put again
into heating room No. 2. On being with-
drawn, after about twelve or eighteen hours,
every angle is as it should be — consequently,
quite dry and in perfect condition for use.
Many manufacturers are afraid of the expense
and loss of time in connection with this double-
drying process as described above, and so they
use wood which has been less carefully treated.
The natural consequence of this omission is
that furniture, etc., manufactured by them will
split or bend very soon after having been put
to use.

Finally, it must not be forgotten that wood
which before being dried has been floated, and
thus gone through the wash-out (Auslaugung)
process referred to at the beginning of this
article, makes very useful timber, as it is less
liable than nonfloated wood to be attacked by
micro-organisms, the reason for this being that
the washed-out wood consists almost exclus-
ively of cellulose and liquose, on neither of
which do mold nor bacterie thrive. Such
timber will require but a slight saturation with
an antiseptic solution to become safe from
putrefaction and destruction through fungi.

BELTING FOR LUMBERMEN.

The Rossendale Beiting Company, Limited, of Man-
chester, England, have opened a branch at Toronto
for the sale of their belting and accessories. In con-
versation with the manager he said: ‘‘We are the
only firm of British belt manufacturers having a branch
in the Dominion dealing direct with the consumer.”

The ‘‘Rossendale Hair” belting is specially adapted
for the use of lumbermen, in saw or planing mills, and
will work under water or in damp or exposed places,
in all conditions of weather.

They also carry a stock of the famous “ M. A. Y.”
and ‘‘Mayave” belting—the latter a belt made of
specially prepared canvas, gutta percha and balata,
which, though considerably cheaper, the company
guarantee to work satisfactorily on any drive upon
which a balata belt has previously given satisfaction.

A 5-inch M. A. Y. solid woven belt inch thick
was tested recently at Walker University, Liverpool,
and its breaking load was 12,300 Ibs.

LEGAL. DECISIONS.

McMILian V. OrtLuiA Export LuMBER Co.
This case was heard in the Trial Court
at Osgoode Hall, Judgment in
action and counterclaim tried at Sault Ste.
Marie. After hearing the evidence the learned
judge dismissed the counterclaim and all of
the plaintiff's claim,except his claim of $184.93,
being a sum of money owing by defendants to
one James Hurdle, which plaintiff alleged had
been assigned to him, as to which judgment
was reserved. The facts with regard to it
were as follows :—One Hollway was an in-
spector and salesman for defendants, and be-
fore 22nd July, 1902, he had purchased from
Hurdle a quantity of timber for defendants,
and they were indebted to Hurdle in $184.93
for it. On 22nd July, 1902, Hurdle made out
bis account against defendants in detail, and
at the foot of it signed an ordered, addressed
to defendants, ‘‘Pay to order of J. W. Mc-
Millan (plaintiff), above amount, $184.93.”
Plaintiff, a few days afterwards, drew on de-
fendants for the full aniount of his claim in the
present action, $541.46, including the: Hurdle
claim. This draft was presented to defend-
ants on 1st August, 1902, and they wrote
on the same day to plaintiff to say that they
could not reconcile the amount with their
figures, and to ask for a detailed statement.
The plaintiff sent defendants a statement, part
of it being ‘‘To amount of Jas. Hurdle, order
for lumber bought by Hollway, $184.93.”
The statement was endorsed in a letter to
defendants, dated 7th August, 1902, in which

Toronto.

plaintiff said :—‘‘] attached a copy of account
to draft and also an order which I had from
Jas. Hurdle, from whom Mr. Hollway bought
oak lumber to the amount of order given me.”
It appeared from the detailed account of
Hurdle against defendants that only $124.80
of the amount was for oak lumber, the balance
being for basswood lumber. Held on the
evidence, that if Hurdle’s order was ever
attached to the draft on defendants, it was
not so attached at presentation, and the only
notice to defendants of its existence was the
mention of it in the account which de-
fendants received from plaintiff in the letter of
“th August, and the reference to it in that
letter. The order amounts to an equitable
assignment of Hurdle’s claim against defend-
ants ; Hall v. Prittie, 17 A. R. 306, but plain-
tiff did not before action give express notice in
writing to defendants, so as to give himself
the right to sue without joining Hurdle as a
party. To enable the assignee to sue alone,
the notice must be express notice, and it must
be in writing ; there should be nothing equivo-
cal about it, nothing to leave the debtor in
doubt as to whether the whole or only a part
of it had been absolutely assigned. Therefore,
this part of the action must also be dismissed,
but without prejudice to the right of plaintiff
to bring another action to recover the amount.
Two actions were brought upon the different
causes of action which were considered at the
trial and in the present judgment. These
actions were both begun in the District Court

of Manitoulin. After issue joined they were

additional witness fees incurred by change of
venue from Gore Bay. One of the actions re-

lated only to the Hurdle debt. Defendants
should recover their costs of defence as if the
only action had been one upon the Hurdle
claim, and these costs should be taxed on the
District Court scale. The costs of the motion
to consolidate, etc., should be taxed to them —
on the High Court scale. Their witness fees
should be no greater than if the action had

GENTLEMEN,, In
. reference to your in-
qui regar the
workings of the Ray
Patent Steam Feed
purchased from you
about eighteen months
ago, we have this to
say regarding the feed,
that it certainly is not
only the best feed that
we have ever used, but
undoubtedly has no
equal to-day on the
Pacific Coast.

We have dropped as”
high as twelve 24-ft. 1”
boards in one minute.
In doing this, the car-
riage would have to
travel about 650 feet
and stop and start
twenty-four times in
one minute. The
weight of the iage,
head blocks, and log
would be about ten
tons, che would give
you a pretty good idea
of the Power exerted
by the feed in hand-
ling a load of that size
at such a velocity.

We have run this
feed night and day
since we have had it,
continually, and_ the
same ropes are still in
service that were put
on when the feed was
mounted. Everything
about the feed seems

tion to-day as the day
we got it. We would
not take it out and put
back our old feed for
ten times the cost of
the new one. You will
see that we are more
than pleased with it.

known as the Lumbermen and Limit Holders’
Association of New Brunswick. Senator King
was appointed chairman and R. A. Lawlor
secretary.

After organisation and discussion committees
were appointed to formulate the views of the
association on the lumber industry of New
Brunswick and to draft by-laws and a constitu-
tion.

At a subsequent meeting R. A. Lawlor sub-

Hon. A. T. Dunn,

Surveyor-General of New Brunswick.

mitted a draft of the constitution which was
taken up section by section and adopted. It
provides that the organization will be composed
of a president, a vice-president, a secretary-
treasurer, who with one member from each
county, represented in the association, will con-
stitute the executive.

H. Hilyard moved that the office and place
of meeting be at St. John. Hon. Allan Ritchie
moved in amendment that Fredericton be
chosen. The meeting decided in favor of St.
John by a vote of 21 to 14. The membership
fee was fixed at $15, and it was decided to
assess limit holders according the number of
miles held by them. The annual meeting is to
be held on the first Tuesday in August. The
following officers were elected for the ensuing
year:

President—H. Hilyard, St. John.

Vice Pres.—Hon. Allan Ritchie, Newcastle.

Secretary-treasurer—R. A. Lawlor, Chatham.

The following, with the above named, con-

Stitute the executive:

Northumberland—W. B. Snowball.
Restigouche—Kilgour Shives.
Gloucester—T. M. Burns, M.P.P.
Kent—J. D. Irving.

York—A. H. F. Randolph.
Charlotte—John E. Moore.

Messrs. Henry Hilyard, K. Shives, E.
Hutchison, John E. Moore, E. F. Vickery and
Senator King were appointed a committee to
present a memorial to the government on the
stumpage question.

THE CONFERENCE.

The conference with the Government com-
menced at 10.30 a.m. on Wednesday, sth
ultimo. Hon. A. T. Dunn, Surveyor-General,

occupied the chair, and opened the proceedings
with the following address :

GENTLEMEN,—

It affords me very great pleasure to greet so many of
you, who are deeply interested in the great lumber in-
dustry of the province, an industry which, both from
the standpoint of the revenues derived therefrom, and
the large number of people to wham it affords employ-
ment, is of the greatest possible importance.

The reasons which actuated the Government in call-
ing you together are set forth in the following circular :

Crown Lands Office,
Fredericton, N.B., July 15, 1903.

Sir,—As you are aware, during the last session of
the Legislature, it was announced by the Premier in
the budget speech that it was during the present
season. In view of that fact and considering the many
very important questions connected with the adminis-
tration of the crown timber lands of the province, such
as protection against fire, re-afforestation, etc., after
consultation with my colleagues, I have considered jt
advisable in the interest of the Department, as well as
of licenses, that a conference of lumbermen and those
interested in crown timber lands should be held at
Fredericton for the purpose of considering these
questions with a view to more fully protect and promote
the interests of all concerned. I have therefore decided
to fix the fifth day of August now next, at the Depart-
mental building, Fredericton, at 10 o’clock a.m., for
the purpose of such conference, and trust that you may
find it convenient to attend, as I deem it most im-
portant that the meeting should be as large and repre-
sentative as possible, it being my intention to secure
the attendance of an expert in forestry, who will doubt-
less be able to furnish valuable information on this im-
portant subject.

I have the honor to be,
Your obedient servant,
ALBERT T. Dunn,
Surveyor General.

12 " THE CANADA LUMBERMAN |

I beg to assure you that the Government, while
desirous that the crown lands shall yield a fair revenue
to the province, is most anxious that the stumpage shall
be fixed at such a rate as will not bear hardly upon the
lumber interests, or prevent those engaged in this im-
portant business from deriving an adequate return upon
the capital invested.

As you are all aware, the demands upon the pro-
vincial treasury are very heavy. The grants required
for roads and bridges, education, agriculture, main-
tenance of the Asylum, aid to hospitals, protection of
the forests and the various other public services are
constantly increasing, and in order to meet the pressing
needs of our people in these respects, it is necessary to
avail ourselves of all possible sources of revenue, and

Mr. Henry HILyArD,

President New Brunswick Lumbermen’s and Limit Holders’
Association,

we have therefore felt it to be our duty to consider
carefully the question of an increase of stumpage, and
as a result of our enquiries we have concluded that the
time has arrived when a reasonable increase can
properly be made.

You will, I think, agree with me that the policy of
issuing long leases, which was adopted ten years ago,
has resulted in material benefit to the lumbermen,
while by reason of the greater inducement thereby
given to the lessees to preserve and protect the forests,
our timber lands are steadily increasing in value. In
the larger areas of crown timber lands it is noticeable
that during the last ten years fires have not proved so
disastrous as formerly. The improved state of the
lumber market has, of course, materially benefitted
those engaged in the industry, and all will admit that it
is in a much more prosperous condition than when the
reduction of stumpage was made some years ago.
Private land owners are reaping the benefit of this im—
provement by charging higher rates, and the govern-
ment would be recreant to its duty if it did not proceed,
though to a lesser extent, along the same lines.

In connection with this subject we have necessarily
been called upon to consider whether we shall continue
to exact a uniform rate of stumpage in respect of all
crown lands, or whether there should be a difference in
the rate, dependent upon the locality, the accessibility
of the lumber, the facilities for shipment at all seasons,
the nearness to markets, etc.

Your experience, gentlemen, as practical business
men, will enable you to express a valuable opinion upon
this question, and I shall be glad of any suggestions
in reference thereto which you may be pleased to make.

The government has under consideration the appoint-
ment of permanent scalers, making them fire, game
and fish wardens. My opinion is that this change will
prove of public benefit. The department will be pleased
to receive any suggestions which you may desire to
make regarding this.

I shall also be glad to learn your views upon other
subjects mentioned in my circular, and also upon any
other matters connected with the lumber industry which
you may think worthy of consideration by the govern-

ment.
Hon. A. T. Dunn,
Surveyor General.

THE PREMIER'S REMARKS.

Premier Tweedie, who spoke next, thought
it was very gratifying to have such a large and
representative meeting of the lumbermen of the
province. He referred to the introduction a
few years ago of the long term lease, which he
thought had been of great benefit to the lumber
interest. Since this policy had been adopted
by the government lIumbermen had taken
greater precautions against fires and the result
had been beneficial all round. The lumbering
indus'ry was by far the most important in the
province, and:a kind of partnership existed be-.
tween the lumbermen and the government in
regard to the industry. It was the duty of the
government to give it every protection and en-
couragement. Lumbermen might say that
they were not making any money at the present
time, but it is a well known fact that the price
of lumber is as high as ever it was, indicating
that the industry is in a flourishing condition.
Private owners of lands have reaped a benefit
from the prosperity of the lumber industry by
increasing the stumpage rate, while the govern-
ment rate had remained stationary. Now it is
proposed to make a change by making a slight
addition to the stumpage rate. The industry
he contended was in a much better condition
than it was ten or fifteen years ago, and the
lumbermen will be able to stand an increase of
stumpage. It might be that in the future the
industry would again become stagnant, and if
so the governm:nt would be prepared to give
relief by reducing the stumpage, as it had done
on a former occasion. He hoped they would
go into the question in a business like way.
They were all interested in the welfare of the

country, and were well aware that money con-
tributed by them in increased stumpage would
be for the benefit of the people. It was not
the desire of the government to cripple any in-
dustry, but rather to encourage and assist all.
He was very glad that the conference of
lumbermen had been called,as it would furnish
an opportunity for the discussion of other
matters of interest in addition to the stumpage
question.

THE FORESTRY QUESTION.

Mr. Frank C.Parker,of the New York Fores-
try Association, was next introduced by the
surveyor-general, and addressed the meeting
on reforestation. He spoke of the pleasure
which it gave him to be present and meet the
representative lumbermen and discuss with
them the question of reforestation, in which
he had been much interested for the past
twenty-five years. He explained the methods
employed by the New York Forestry Associa-
tion for the preservation and promulgation of
trees. The association planted a quantity of
seed each year, and after a year or two’s
growth the trees are taken up and transplanted.
The Association had, a short time ago, set out
five hundred thousand trees in one tract and
every one of them had shown good results.
The question of reforestation is becoming of
greater importance year by year, and he hoped
the lumbermen of New Brunswick would be-
come interested in it.

Mr. Parker answered a number of questions
by Premier Tweedie, Hon. Mr. Hill and others,
and gave evidence of possessing an immense

fund of practical information on the subject.
On the subject of stumpage dues, Mr. F.
Mooney said that he thought that under the
terms of twenty-five year leases, the govern-
ment had a right to increase the stumpage
whenever they saw fit.
Mr. T.M. Burns thought that some allowance
should be made to the lumbermen of Bathurst
on account of the difficulties in shipping at that
point. He did not favor a general increase of
stumpage.
Mr. Sumner was of opinion that the govern- —
ment could not afford to discriminate in the
matter of stumpage in favor of any locality.
The section of the surveyor general’s ad-
dress relating to the appointment of scalers
and fire wardens was briefly discussed. Mr.
Sumner thought the government should take
the forest fire question in hand very strongly. —
It should be made an indictible offence for
settler or sportsman to set bush fires. Fires —
set with the object of clearing land should be
only under the son of the warden for
that district.
Mr. Mooney did not think the proposal in
regard to scalers and fire wardens went far *4
enough. He advocated the adoption of a
system like that in vogue in Norway, where _
men were employed in summer to go through |
the woods and mark all the trees that were fit

represented at the meeting. He was under
the impression that the pulp men could find |
sufficient material in New Brunswick without
cutting down a tree. He thought an aaa
ment could be made whereby they could use
slabs for pulp. sal
Mr. Mooney said he had tried that plan v with
the St. John mill men and it had not been
success. :
The conference was looked upon as being «
much benefit to both the Government and the
lumbermen. It is understood that a memori:
on the subject of stumpage dues is being
pared by the Association for presentation to
the Government at an early date. It is also
learned that the Government have decided to
increase the dues, but the amount of thei inte
crease is still under consideration.

the Government wish to increase to one dollar
and fifty cents per thousand superficial feet.
The lumbermen of New Brunswick claim that
under the present scale they are actually
paying more stumpage per thousand super-
ficial feet to the Governmet than either
Quebec or Ontario, as you will plainly see
by the accompanying comparative state-
ment.

In regard to the advantages of perpetual
leases to the licensee, you are no doubt aware
that the timber limits now held by lumbermen
of this province were bought at a general sale
at Frederiction, N.B., in 1893, and in some

cases a number of miles have been purchased
since fora term of twenty-five years, all of
which expire at the end of the twenty-five
years’ term beginning at 1893. Now, if the
holders of these limits are forced to give them
up at the end of the above term, which has
but fourteen years more torun, would it not

the timber they possibly can, in many cases
regardless of size, and they will not be so

CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE CONGRESS,

[By our Special Representative. ]

The sessions of the British Board of Trade and Cham-
bers of Commerce held in Montreal were of especial in-
terest to the lumber trade.

A large number of the Imperial delegates were direct-
ly interested in Canada’s timber resources, representing

the largest corporations in Great Britain.

Both Lord Brassey, the President of the Congress,
and Lord Strathcona, were present throughout the
proceedings. :

Amongst those noticed in attendance was Mr. Shen
Paget, a delegate from the Keighley Chamber, anda
member of the firm of Smith & Paget’s Crown Works,
Keighley, machinery manufacturers. This firm has
been established over fifty years and largely consumes
Canadian maple, pine, spruce and birch timber. Mr.
Paget is not only an ex-Mayor but an alderman anda
justice of the peace.

Mr. J. C. Batley, who attended the Congress asa re-
presentative of the Heckmondike Chamber of Com-
merce, was up torecently a joiner and timber mer-
chant.

Mr. S.B. Boulton, J.P., F.R.G.S., etc., of Totteridge,
Herts, was the delegate representing the Timber Trade
Federation of the United Kingdom, Mr. Boulton is of
the firm of Burt, Boulton & Haywood, Ltd., of London,
Paris and Riga, with the management of which busi-
ness he has been actively connected for fifty years.
The firm is engaged in the importation and sale of tim-
ber. He was vice-president of the London Chamber of
Commerce for five years, and President of the West
Ham Board for many years. Hisson, Mr. Harold E.
Boulton, represented the latter board at the Congress.

Mr. Boulton was the founder of the Timber Trades
Federation of the United Kingdom as well as the Fed-
erated Merchants’ Freighters’ Association (also cen-
nected with the timber trade), of both of which he was
the first president. He advocates arbitration in labour
difficulties and the closest practicable union between
the colonies and the Mother Country.

14 THE CANADA LUMBERMAN

THE BURSTING OF EMERY WHEELS.*

Several years ago the writer was consulted
regarding some points of a case in litigation
occasioned by the bursting of an emery wheel
and the resulting death of a workman. The
question to be decided was whether the wheel
was unsafe at the speed recommended by the
or whether the accident was due to
the carelessness of the operator.

makers,

As it was just then an ‘‘off” year for ex-
periments on fly-wheels there seemed to be no
good reason why the same medicine could not
be tried on emery wheels. The apparatus
already described in former papers read before
this Society, with some slight alterations, was
adapted to the new requirements, and in the
spring of 1902, fifteen wheels of various makes
were tested to destruction.

For the actual details of the work credit is
due to Messrs. Chandler and Krueger ot the
class of 1902, Case School of Applied Science.
Most manufacturers of this class of wheels test
them for their own information, but the results
are not generally given to the public; the
writer knows of no published data on this sub-
ject. At the Norton Emery Wheel Works, all
wheels are tested before leaving the shop at a
speed double that allowed in regular service,
and occasionally wheels are burst to determine
the actual factor of safety.

Emery-wheel accidents are not uncommon,

but can usually be traced to the carelessness:

of the operator. One conimon cause of failure
is allowing a small piece of work to slip or roll
between the wheel and the rest. The writer
was once present on an occasion of this kind,
and although he fortunately was not in the
plane of rotation, he has never forgotten his
sensations.

The wheels selected for the experiments
were all of the same size, being sixteen inches
in diameter by one inch thick, and having a
hole ene and one-quarter inches in diameter.

————— aed
*Papar read before Saratoga Convention of A S. M. E., by
prof, C H. Benjamin.

} The object of the experiment being to deter-
imine the bursting speed of such wheels as are
actually on the market, emery wheels were
‘obtained through various outside parties with-
out indicating to the agents or manufacturers
the use to be made of them.

In this way wheels of six different makes
were obtained, the label on each wheel show-
ing usually the maker’s name, the grade num-
ber or letter, the quality of emery, and the
speed recommended for use. As shown in the
table of results, the working speed varied in
the different wheels from 1,150 to 1,400 revol-
utions per minute, the average being about
1,200 revolutions per minute. For a diameter

of sixteen inches this corresponds to a peri-
pheral velocity of about 5,000 feet per minute.
The table also shows that the fineness of the
emery varied from ten to sixty, the average
being about thirty.

The wheels were held between two collars,
each six and one-eighth inches in diameter and
concaved, so as to bear only on a ring three-

fourths of an inch wide at the outer circumfer-
ence.

The method of testing, and the apparatus
used, were precisely similar to those described
in the paper on ‘‘The Bursting of Small. Cast-
iron Flywheels,” by the author at a previous
meeting, to which reference is made for illus-
trations of the apparatus.

The table shows the results of the experi-
ments in detail, and needs but little explana-
tion. The illustrations, Figs. 1 to 6, show
characteristic fractures, and the appearance of
various wheels after bursting.

Wheels numbered 1, 2, and 3 were of one
make, and show a remarkable uniformity in
strength. (Fig. 1.)

Nos. 4, 5, 8, and 9 were all made by one
firm ; the two latter wheels were of finer grain
than the others, and show a correspondingly
greater strength. (Fig. 3.)

Nos. 6 and 7 contained a layer of brass wire
netting imbedded in the emery, and were
about one-third stronger than the average of
the ordinary wheels. (Fig. 2.)

The wheels numbered 10 and 11 were the
weakest among those iested, but have an

apparent factor of safety of between five and
six. (Fig. 4.) :

Nos. 12 and 13, of still another make, burst
at about the average speed. (Fig. 5.) Wheels
Nos. 14 and 15 were so-called vulcanized ©
wheels, containing rubber in the bond, and in- |
tended for particularly severe service. These
showed, as was expected, rather more than
the average strength. (Fig. 6.) ; r

An examination of the last two columns in-
the table shows that the wheels burst at speeds
varying from two and one-quarter to three and
three-quarters the working speed, and accor d-
ingly had factors of safety varying from five
to thirteen.

It is then apparent that any of he: e
wheels were safe at the speed recommende
and would not have burst under ordinary cc
ditions. At the same time, considering 11
violent nature of the service and the shocks
which they are exposed, it would seem tl
the factor of safety for emery wheels shou
large.

used in machines, a factor of eight or ten
would seem small enough. or
It may also be said that such a variation in
strength between wheels of the same make and
grade, as for instance that between Nos
and 5, indicates a lack of uniformity series

The following telegram was read from J. M.

Sarnia Ont.: ‘‘Regret my inability to be pre-
sent. Hold Lay up close and let him get all
the fragrance of the Onion Bed. See that

new members all success.” Regrets were re-
ceived from other candidates unable to be
present.

It was the expression of the members present
that Toronto should have another Cancatena-
tion before September goth, and the date of
August 28th was suggested, so as to insure a
good attendance of Canadian members at the
Yearly Meeting at Buffalo, Sept. goth.

HOO-HOO ANNUAL AT BUFFALO.

There will be something doing in the Con-
catenated Order of Hoo-Hoo on the ninth day
of September, when the twelfth concatenation
will open in Buffalo.

That nine times as much pleasure and profit
shall result from the coming concatenation as
former conventions of the order have afforded,
elaborate preparations have been made by the
local committee having in charge the arrange-
ments. July 28 the general committee met in
the Builders’ Exchange, and though the pro-
gramme of entertainment is not yet complete,
it is far enough along to justify the prediction
that this Buffalo Concatenation will eclipse
anything held in former years.

The following is a list of the committees that

. will have the affair in charge :

Ways and Means—John Feist, chairman ;
Curt M. Treat, C. H. Stanton, A. J. Chestnut,
I. N. Stewart, O. E. Yeager, Walter Betts,
D. H. Harper, A.J. Elias.

Entertainment—J. B. Wall, chairman ; C.H.
Stanton, M. S. Tremaine, F. W. Vetter, F.B.
Emery, Curt M. Treat, E. B. Holmes, Frank
Reilley, Fred Blumenstein.

Ladies—Angus McLean, chairman; John
W. Henrich, Henry M. Feist.

Reception—J. J. Mossman, chairman; M.
M. Wall, Henry E. Boller, A. J. Miller, Arthur
Kreinheder, Fred Sullivan, J. M. Briggs, C.R.
Shuttleworth, C. H. Seymour.

—It is reported that Richard Keay & Company,
who have purchased the Hanbury timber limit in
Duck Mountains, Manitoba, will build a saw mill with
a daily capacity of 30,000 feet.

—McFadden & Malloy, lumbermen, who are
operating back of Garden River, found difficulty in
securing men to work in the woods. Accordingly
they went to the jail at Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., and
secured the liberty of six prisoners by paying the
fines that had been imposed upon them as an alter-
native when being sent to jail. The fines were paid,
of course, upon the condition that the men would go
to work in the camps.

THE LATE MR. P. C, CAMPBELL.

A faithful officer
of the Crown and
a prominent and
esteemed citizen
of Sault Ste.
Marie, Ont., has
LO mba
great majority, in
the person of Mr.
P. C. Campbell,
Crown Timber
Agent for Algoma
district. Mr.
Campbell, accom-
panied by his wife, came to Toronto on
August 8th, and the following night was
stricken with paralysis. He was removed
from the Rossin House to the general hospital
where he received every care which kind
friends and medical aid could provide. He
never regained consciousness, however, and
passed away on the 14th ultimo. :

Mr. Campbell was born in Aldborough,
county of Elgin, on December 2nd, 1833, his
parents being among the pioneer settlers of
that township, having emigrated from Argyle-
shire in 1818. He, with the rest of the family,
experienced and went through all the vicissi-
tudes and hardships incidental to a pioneer
life at that time, when the only roads were
blazed paths and there were no mills, no

churches, no schools. His education was
such as could be obtained at home, with oc-
casionally a few weeks at a school which his
father and two neighbors maintained at their
own expense. Higher education was out of
the question, as it could not be obtained
nearer than Little York, and neither the time
nor the money could be spared for that
purpose. Though largely self-educated, he
filled many positions of trust and importance
in the community in which he lived.

From 1853 to 1860 Mr. Campbell’s time
was divided between farming and lumbering.
From 1860 to 1868 he was engaged in lum-
bering in conjunction with Mr. George Camp-
bell, of Windsor. From 1868 to 1872 in-
clusive he was employed as overseer of colon-
ization road building in Muskoka and Parry
Sound, being for the last three years acting
inspector, and during the winters of these
years engaged in wood ranging. Resigning
his employment under the Crown Lands De-
partment in 1872, he again engaged in lum-
bering, meeting with heavy disaster in 1873,
in common with all engaged in the lumbering
business that year. In 1876 he opened a
conveyancing, loan and insurance office in
Wardsville, in the county of Middlesex, com-
bining with it next year the purchase and
shipping of all kinds of produce, and from
1878 to 1881 he also managed a private bank
in the same village for Fawcett & Livingstone,
of Mitchell, Ont. Towards the close of the
latter year he went to Winnipeg, along with
many others, and was one of the victims of
the collapse of the boom of 1881 and 1882.

Mr. Campbell was always a pronounced
Liberal, and took an active part in political
life. He was elected Reeve of his native
township in 1867 by a large majority. He
was at the front with the volunteers as ensign
of the Wardsville Infantry Company in 1865-6,
being stationed at Sarnia during the Fenian
Raid. In 1883 he was offered the position of
Crown Timber Agent for the district of Al-
goma, which he accepted and occupied up to
the time of his death. He was an enthusiastic
Highland Scotsman and an ardent Freemason.

ADVERTISING RATES ON APPLICATION.

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN is pauline’ in the interests of the
lumber, wood-working and allied industries, being the only
representative in Canada of these important interests. It aims
at giving full and timely information on allsubjects touching
these interests, and invites free discussion by its readers.

Especial pains are taken to secure for publication in the
WEEKLY LUMBERMAN the latest and most trustworthy market
quotations throughout the world, so as to afford to the trade at
home and abroad information on which it can rely in its
operations. Subscribers will find the small amount they pay
for the CANADA LUMBERMAN quite insignificant as compared
with its value tothem. There is not an individual in the trade,
or specially interested in it, who should not be on our list, thus
obtaining the present benefit and aiding and encouraging us to
render it even more complete.

Advertisers will receive careful attention and liberal treat-

ASSESSMENT OF LUMBER.

By some persons the basis upon which
lumber may be assessed does not seem to be
clearly understood. There is prevalent an idea
that it is an injustice to assess all the lumber on
land at the time the valuation is taken, inas-
much as the quantity may include almost the
entire season’s cut, the bulk or all of which
may be shipped out within a comparatively
short time.

It is doubtless with'n the rights of the
assessor to tax all lumber in stock. Even if
the lumber should be sold at time of assess-
ment it is still assessable, for there must have
been received for it the equivalent in cash or
other asset which would be equally liable to
assessment under the heading of personal
property. If, however, there is any indebted-
ness against the lumber the amount of that
indebtedness must be deducted from the valua-
tion thereof.

Assessments are made upon personal pro-
perty, representing the assets less liabilities.
If, for instance, the assets of a particular com-
pany were twenty thousand dollars, and the
liabilities fifteen thousand dollars, the amount
upon which taxes, would have to be paid would
be only five thousand dollars. This regardless
of the quantity of lumber on land.

According to the Assessment Act ‘‘ Personal
property shall include all goods, chattels,
interest on mortgages, dividends on shares or
stocks of banks and other incorporated com-
panies, money, notes, accounts and debts at
their actual value, income, and all other
property except land and real estate.” The
person to be assessed is requested and can be
compelled to furnish a statement of assets. If
when received it is not satisfactory, an appeal

is taken to the Court of Revision, where both
sides are given an opportunity of verifying their
claims. On several occasions lumbermen have
succeeded, through the Court of Revision, in
obtaining a reduction of their lumber assess-
ment, especially where it has been shown that
the amount carried at time of fixing the valua-
tion was exceptionally large. More can be
accomplished in this direction by diplomacy
than by antagonizing the Assessment Depart-
ment, particularly in view of the admitted right
to assess all lumber on hand.

BAD DEBTS IN THE LUMBER TRADE.

It would be interesting to learn what per-
centage of earnings is set aside by the lumber
trade each year as representing urcollectable
debts. Thongh of late there have been few
business failures, it is safe to say that the
losses still approximate a considerable sum, as
legitimate failures are not the most destructful
agencies to be contended with. The sugges-
tion, recently made to the publishers of this
journal, that a ‘‘ Black List” of lumber buyers
be compiled, is significant.

There are a large number of responsible
lumber dealers in Canada—men who have
earned the confidence of the trade, and even
though their resources in some cases may not
be large, the manufacturer assumes little risk
of loss in selling his lumber to them. Unfor-
tunately, there are always to be found a few
persons presuming to call themselves lumber
buyers who possess neither money nor honesty,
but who seek to profit by sharp practice. The
character of the lumber business renders it
susceptible. to the unscrupulous acts of these
so-called dealers, and during the past few
years they have not decreased in number. It
seems that no sooner has one of these polished
individuals been brought to account and his
plans thwarted than another appeared to take
his place. Hence it is difficult to rid the
trade of their existence.
class of buyers that the lumber manufacturer
would welcome some protection. Honest,
energetic business men will sometimes become

It is against this

financially involved, but the person who is
willing and anxious to meet his obligations is
a source of small loss as compared to the
trickster whose main object is to deceive.

The large manutacturer suffers very little
through bad debts. His trade is concentrated
and he is dealing usually with large firms whose
standing is at all times readily obtainable. The
manufacturer who ships in carload and broken
lots is more liable to accept accounts of
questionable character. He frequently has not
the facilities for investigating promptly the
financial responsibility of the prospective
customer, and is also more disposed to over-
look this necessary duty.

How to minimize the loss attributable to bad
debts is a question that cannot readily be
answered. Probably the formation of an
association of the lumbermen of Canada would
do much in that direction. Many mill men
might also exercise greater discrimination in
accepting orders from buyers. There are so
many well known dealers in the country that
there is little excuse for selling lumber to a
person who cannot promptly give assurances

of his responsibility. Mill men should not
hesitate to request the buyer of whose standing
he knows nothing to satisfy him that settle-
ment for the material will be made in due
course.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Apropos of our remarks in last issue, con-
gratulations are due to the newly-formed
Government of British Columbia upon the stand
taken on the timber question. The refusal to
abrogate the law prohibiting the export of
timber in the log will surely be found in the
long run to have been in the best interests of —
the country. The province of Ontario stands
as a notable example of the advantage of home
manufacture.

It is gratifying to learn that more determined
steps are being taken to punish persons guilty
of stealing logs, a crime which is altogther too
prevalent. It is strange that persons whose
characters are above reproach in other respects,
will confiscate timber as if it were of no value.
On the other hand, the fact that the owner’s
marks are often defaced indicates a recognition
of the gravity of the act. It is hoped that the
punishment for the offence will be more severe
in future.

The result of the sale of timber limits to be |
held by the Ontario Government in December
next will be of more than usual significance.
It will be the largest sale since 1885 and the
fourth largest since Confederation. In the
neighborhood of goo square miles will be
offered. The prices which buyers are willing
to pay for these limits will in some degree
reflect public opinion as to the value of pine
timber as an investment as well as for lumber-
producing purposes. During the past few
years of prosperity in the lumber trade, many
lumbermen have increased their holdings of
timber limits. Will they continue to add to
their holdings is the question which will be
determined in part by the sale of December
oth. The licensees are to be allowed only ten
years in which to cut the timber on some of the
berths, while the ground rent has been in-
creased to $5 per square mile and stumpage
dues to $2 per thousand feet board measure.
These increases mean additional revenue for
the Government, at the expense of the lumber-
men.

The buying power of Canadian lumbermen is
steadily on the increase. The sawmilling and
woodworking establishments have doubled in —
number within a comparatively few years. —
Statistics of the aggregate value of machinery
and lumbering appliances purchased each year
are not obtainable, but it they were the show-
ing would doubtless create surprise by reason
of its magnitude. Settlements which a few —
years ago were almost unknown can now boast -
of thriving manufacturing industries, the
existence of which is due in a large measure to —
the growth and development of the lumber
industry. A considerable quantity of imported q
machinery is also purchased each year, and our ~
advertising pages bear witness to the extent

NATIONAL HARDWOOD LUMBER ASSOCIA-
TION.

The Secretary of the National Hardwood Lumber
Association, in a recent communication, says regard-
ing the progress of the society : As you know, at the
last annual meeting the Association was nearly $4,500
in debt. Within three months we have reduced that
indebtedness to $1,800 and have at this time about
$1,200 cash on hand, so that we now only lack $600 of
being out of debt. The members have paid up cheer-
fully and promptly and we have added twenty-two new
members to our list. The work of the Inspection
Bureau is growing enormously and in every depart-
ment the Association is making remarkable progress.

Considering the objects and work of this Association,
it should have many more members than it now has
and we have reached a point where our work is a dem-
onstrated success and where we can offer inducements
to new members. This Association should have at
least 1,000 members and it is the intention to make an
earnest attempt to increase our membership. There
has been such a demand for our ‘‘Year Book” that the
Board of Managers have instructed me to issue a very
large edition, sufficient to cover this country and
Europe thoroughly. Under this advice it is my inten-
tion to issue an edition of 20,000 copies October rst,
and all the new members that we get in previous to
that time will have their names published in this edition,
which publication alone will be worth more than the
cost of a year’s dues.

The forests of India are all Goverment prop-
erty, and for the past 38 years the greatest
care has been exercised to preserve what is
considered a most valuable asset. Reforesting
is carried on most extensively, and a very large
staff is employed to look after these forests.
Recently Mr. R. C. Milward of the Indian
Imperial Forest Service was getting pointers
on forestry, and had long interviews in Toronto
with Mr. Southworth and others. Mr. Milward
has been granted one year’s leave of absence for
inquiries into the protection of forestry, and has
already visited Japan, the United States and
part of Canada. He will visit Germany, Rus-
sia, Norway and Sweden before returning to
report. Mr. Milward has his headquarters at
Derhrahdun, where the Indian School of For-
estry is located. He has charge of a district
about 260 miles square, and has 60 natives
under him, but in the dry season, when danger

An experienced agriculturist writing to a
Winnipeg paper urges that the Dominion
government extend its forestry operations in
Manitoba to take in a strip of light sandy soil,

about ten miles wide and thirty long, along’

the Assiniboine river east of Brandon. He
then continues to write of the changes he has
noticed in Manitoba timber limits as follows :
The last thirty years have changed our tim-
bered limits very much in Manitoba. To the
east of the Red river, by cutting wood, ties and
timber and then allowing fires to burn up small
trees that would in thirty-five years be another
torest we have driven the forest line back for
miles. Again the forest line on the south side
of the Riding mountains has gradually receded
from ten to twenty miles until a new line of
railway is projected through a settled district,

whereas the Manitoba & Northwestera railway
when constructed actually skirted the timber
belt from Minnedosa to Newdale, Strathclair,
Shoal Lake, Birtle on to Russell. It is well
known that the fine timber belts along the
shores of Pelican lake, Rock lake and the
Pembina river have almost disappeared. The
Turtle mountains, which at one time, thirty
years ago, were covered with timber down to
the edge of the prairie, present to-day a strange
change to one who has not been that way for
a quarter of a century. The forest line has
receded from one to six miles and farm houses
are dotted all along the edge of the mountain,
in many places apparently half way up the
mountain. These encroachments on our tim-
ber belts have given us land for cultivation,
but we have a surplus of prairie land in Mani-
toba and the territories for cultivation and we
are short of forests. Timber reserves are now
set apart on the Turtle mountains, as well as
on the Riding inountains, and there is to be no
more homesteading done. This is right, but
as so many acres have been cut down the more
reason there is for trying to reclaim our open
sandy plains above referred to.

THE SPRUCE SUPPLY.

Hon. E. E. Ring, of Bangor, State Com-
missioner of Forestry, does not consider that
there is any danger of an early extinction of
spruce and other pulp woods at the present
rate of cutting, giving it as his opinion that
there is enough spruce timber in North America
to last forever if properly cared for and
intelligently cut. He says:

Right here in Maine there are thousands of
square miles of virgin spruce forests and if they
are properly cared for, and destructive fires
kept out, the supply is practically inexhaustible.
When I was a very young man people used to
stand around, just as they do to-day, and tell,
with wise shakes of the head, that the spruce
would be all gone in ten or twenty years. To-
day we are cutting more spruce in Maine than
ever before and there is a great plenty left.
But, not stopping there, visit the sorting gaps
along the Penobscot and the Kennebec rivers
and you will find that the logs are just as big

SEPTEMBER, 1

as they were a dozen yearsago. The standard

remains the same.

To be sure, a large amount of small spruce
is cut in these times, but it is cut for the pulp
mills, which can use smaller timber than the
saw mills require. Conditions have changed
in the harvesting of the log crop. No longer
are the land owners willing to have trees cut so
as to leave a stump anywhere from four to six
feet high. They insist that all trees shall be
cut close to the ground. This results in a

closer cutting of lots than formerly. Again,
the tops of the trees are not left in the woods,
as was the case before the day of the pulp mill,
but are trimmed and driven down to the pulp
inills to be made into paper. How many stop
to think what this means? Very few. But it
means this: That the amount of timber scaled
in the cutting of a certain number of trees to-
day is much greater than it was twenty years
ago, and we get a far greater yield of timber
per acre than formerly.

People, or at least the majority, when they
talk about the great increase in the amount of
timber cut in Maine do not stop to think that
the gain is due in no small way to the discon-
tinuance of the wasteful practices of other days.
Yet that is the truth of the matter. To-day
the saw is taking the place of the ax and by its
use a great saving is effected. Only a man
who has owned timber lands and operated upon
them can realize what it means to save a foot or
two on each tree felled. rer,

In discussing the spruce supply it should be
kept in mind that this tree grows much more
rapidly than any other timber except, possibly,
the pine. Under ordinary conditions a spruce
will grow in twenty-five years from a seedling
to a good pulpwood size, and five years more
wiil put it in the saw log class. This, with
the proper care of the forest, means that, as I
have already said, the spruce forests of Maine
are practically inexhaustible.

But in order properly to care for these vast
timber tracts, so as to preserve them for the
future, it is necessary that the State and all in-
terested shall keep a watchful eye upon them.
This means that an efficient corps of fire
wardens must be maintained for the protection
of these lands. These men must be trained in
the work of preventing and extinguishing fires;
they must be constantly on the watch for the
first incipient blaze, in order that it shall be
stamped out before making any headway. The
land owners must do their part, too. They
must see to it that the timber is properly cut
and not wasted. They will_do,this—it is for
their interest. to do so.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

The lumber business is fully up to normal
in volume and the outlook for the future is
satisfactory. There is evidence of buying
in anticipation of fall and winter require-
ments, some dealers being disposed to
place their orders earlier than usual in
order to forestall

white pine are moderately active, but
there is less call for the intermediate and
higher grades.

Manufacturers still report
numerous inquiries for box lumber. The
advisability of making an advance in the
price of box grades has been discussed,
but the general disposition seems to be to
pursue a policy of conservatism and en-
courage consumption by keeping prices
at a reasonable basis. A slight improve-
ment 4n Norway lumber is reported from
the Ottawa district. There continues to
be a heavy trade in hemlock at unchanged
quotations, the attempt to advance certain
sizes having been frustrated by offerings

are almost completely sold out.

Prices of white pine lath are tending
towards weakness. The demand is not
as large as might be expected at this
season of the year, while the supply in
certain districts is comparatively large.

® QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

The lumber trade of the Eastern Pro-
vinces continues in a healthy condition.
There have been no recent sales of square
or waney timber, consequently the list is
unchanged. Large shipments of spruce
lumber are being made to the New York
market, where prices are about one dollar
per thousand higher than at last writing.
The demand is fully equal to the supply,
with some sizes exceptionally scarce.
Laths are more active aud slightly higher.
New Brunswick cedar shingles are still
uncertain. Fancy brands bring $3.50, but
the bulk of sales are probably being made
at $3.40 for Boston delivery. Clears range
from $2.85 to $3, and seconds from $2.25
to $2.40.

The lumbermen are sending men into
the woods for the winter's operations.
Wages are about the same as last year,
$26 to $30 being paid for good men.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The movement of lumber throughout
the North-West continues large. Prices
generally are firm, although some dealers
are said to be making a slight cut in one

or two grades, There is no abatement of

Dimension over 18 feet was advanced 50
cents, and piece stuff of 1o-foot length
was made the same price as 12, 14 and 16
foot ; 6-inch No. 3 fencing, E siding and
lath were reduced 50 cents, and D siding
$1. The list, it may be said, remains
unchanged, as the advances in some lines
were offset by reductions in others. The
report of the secretary showed the pine
market to be in a strong position statis-
tically, with a pronounced scarcity of box
grades. Lumbermen are inclined to the
opinion that all the lumber manufactured
will find a market at prices now ruling.

In the East conditions continue to
brighten. Box lumber and mill culls are
as scarce asever. A Buffalo dealer says
that the price of 12-inch box pine is now
established at $20. There is not a large
call for the higher grades and occasionally
a slight cut in price is reported. There is
no oversupply of hemlock, which continues
in active demand. Piece stuff is taken as
fast as it is ready forthe market. Among
the hardwoods birch and basswood are in
short supply; dealers are meeting with
some success in selling other kinds of
lumber as a substitute for basswood. A
slight advance has been made in the price
of maple. In New York City the hard-
wood market is active and firm, with the
better grades of both plain and quartered
oak finding ready sale at high prices.

Though thers is a report of light buying
of various hardwood lumber in the eastern

dications of a return to the former
demand. All hardwoods, says the
Buffalo correspondent of the Ameri-
can Lumberman, are ‘doing well,
unless it be white ash, which has given
way to substitutes. The need of oak is
so great that all grades are eagerly
taken. There is a larger sale of basswood
than formerly, though the price is strong
at $40 for inch. Maple is running up in
price and will soon be one of the expen-
sive woods. It brings $22.50 in Michigan
and reports come in that the Michigan
Maple Company is turning down. all
orders, having sold so far ahead. Cer-
tain dealers report the receipt of chestnut

for several years conducted the larg
individual logging business in British Cc
umbia, has been compelled to ma
assignment for the benefit of his credit¢
The cause of the failure is officially stated
to be the present stringency of the timber —
market, Mr. Higgins having now on hand
between ftve and six million feet of |
which are unsaleable, but which at o
ary prices would realize more than
cient to pay the liabilities.

The plant for logging at Toba Inlet

to be worth $25,000. It is said that

Higgins recently offered 3,000,000 feet of ©
logs at $4.50 per ne ich i:

claimed to be less than c
two months ago he could ha
from $7 to $8 for the same “logs.

_ ° WHITE PINE STATISTICS.
The report of the white pine production
in the territory covered by the Mississippi
and Wisconsin Valley Lumbermen’s Asso-
ciations states that estimates of the
probable production indicate that on the
whole there will be a slight increase in this
year's cut. The mills have so far this
season sawed about 20 per cent. less piece
stuff than last year. There has beena
steady decrease in the percentage of piece
stuff on hand during the past four years.
There is less shop lumber being produced
this year than last, as less No. 3 shop is
being put in pile. No. 4 boards which
were in plentiful stock at the beginning of
the season are reported well cleaned up.
This is particularly true in the Wisconsin
valley.

An increase in the amount of lath on
hand August ist is reported, being in the
neighborhood of 7 per cent. over that of
August ist of last year.

Statistics showed that the lumber man-
ufacturers of the Mississippi and Wiscon-
sin Valleys held on August 1, 1900, 11 per
cent. less lumber than they had on August
1, 1899.

On August 1, 1go1, they had 7 per cent.
less stock on hand than on August 1, 1902,
making a total shortage of last year over
1899, of 25 per cent.

We find, after as careful an investigation
as we can make, that the stock on hand
August 1 this year, is slightly ir excess of
that on hand last year, or about 3.2 per
cent. This shows that stocks are still far
from normal.

On January 1st the combined inventories
showed a decrease of 1.3 per cent. over the
stocks on hand January 1, 1902, ora total
of 1,484,127,575 feet.

Shipments for the first seven months of
the year by the members of both associa-
tions amounted to 1,235,133,863 ft., which is
1.4 per cent. greater than the total re-
ported by the same firms for 1902. The
‘consumption in the Northwest and ship-
ments to Chicago and the East count for
the increase.

The steam saw mill owned by William
_ McNutt at Tay Creek, York County, N.
B., was burned on August 24th, also 30,-
ooo feet of lumber and 45,000 shingles.

ah feos Whitney, mechanical expert, of the J.

woodworking machinery manufacturers of Cin-
cinnati, Ohio, has just returned from a trip to
China, where he has been for a year operating
some of their machines for the Foo Chow Saw

these mills was the first which has ever run in
China, and has met with great success. There
"are two band mills. Mr. Whitney reports that
* the Chinese are much more clever people than
he expected them to be in the way of handling
"machinery. One of his most singular ex-

_ periences while in China was that in attracting
_ the attention of the men he employed it was
necessary for him to use numbers, on account
of the difficulty of pronouncing the Chinese
-mames. He also states that in the city of Foo

A VISIT TO THE WORLD’S FAIR
AT ST. LOUIS.

[By OuR TRAVELLING REPRESENTATIVE. ]

After going through Wiscosin I made a
rapid journey through Beloit to Peoria and
Galesburg, Illinois. From the latter place I
went direct south to St. Louis, striking the
Mississippi river at Alton.

Crossing the famous Eads bridge I saw the
waters of the great Mississipi and Missouri
rivers rolling their mighty flood onward to the
Mexican gulf.

St. Louis is wide-awake at any ordinary
time, but it was more especially so when I saw
it. Thousands of workmen were there helping
to put up hundreds of building destined for the

ing and by forest cultivation will be shown.
Under the various groups will be shown all the
lumbering appliances, including saw mills,
logging roads, dry kilns, storage yards, etc.
When I arrived at St. Louis the fair grounds
presented an animated scene. Many of the
larger buildings were already completed and
ready for occupancy, whilst the rattle of
hammers and machinery on all sides betokened
the great enterprise being rapidly pushed for-
ward.
Canada is expected to put forth her best
efforts and as the eyes of all lumbermen are
turning to our northern forests it is expected
that her exhibit will be a representative one.

HALL oF INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS, ST. Louis WORLD's Fair.

great Exposition.

The formal dedication of the grounds took
place on the 30th of April. The exposition will
open on the 3oth of April next. The approxi-
mate cost will be over forty millions of dollars,
it will be built upon a 1200 acre site. To
grasp St. Louis one must know that it is
spread out over an area exceeding by far that
of New York city, an area of 621% square miles,
twenty miles of river frontage, 8000 factories,
a population of over 600,000, with twenty-five
railroads.

Speaking to one of the officials I asked if it
would be larger than the Chicago World’s
Fair, and his reply was :—‘‘ This exposition
will surpass all former expositions in the largest
total fair ground area ever included, the biggest
exhibit area ever held under one roof, and the
largest sum of money ever available for an
exposition.”

The courts, avenues, terraces, artificial lakes
and falls, etc., will surpass anything ever
known. The big Atlantic liner ‘‘ St. Louis”
will be reproduced in wood, full size. A two-
acre map of the United States will be shown
with every state and town marked, and
Jerusalem is to be reproduced intact with its
famous wall.

Provision has been made for a_ splendid
building in which to display the appliances and
processes used in lumbering and the relations
of lumber to the industry and progress of the
world. This building will be known as the
forestry building, and will be 600 feet long by
400 feet broad. It will include illustrations
and models of lumbering operations, transport-
ation, storing, drying and manufacturing.

One of the principal exhibits will be on forest
destruction by fires, by sheep-grazing, by
destructive lumbering and by natural causes,
such as storms, diseases and enemies.

‘Canada wilt take part in the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition as a Nation.” Such was

From all I could learn, the lumbering and
forestry departments will be well represented

by Canada’s exhibits. Talking to one of our
Canadian officials on the exhibit to be made, he
said :

‘‘Lumbering ranks third among the ex-
teasive industries of Canada and the forest
wealth is very great. It is stated that 123
species of trees grow in that country, 94 occur-
ing east of the Rocky Mountains, and 29 on
the Pacific coast. The forest belt extends a

distance of about 4,000 miles east and west, —
with a breadth of some 700 miles. The trees
consist principally of the following species -—s
black and white spruce, banksian pine, white —
pine, red pine, larch, balsam fir, balsam —
poplar, aspen, canoe birch, bird cherry, white
cedar. Black ash and mountain ash occur
sparingly in the southern part of this belt. >
‘« British Columbia is thought to possess the —
greatest compact reserve of timber in the
world. The wooded area is estimated at
285,000 square miles and includes many kinds
of timber. The Douglas spruce is the show
tree of British Columbia and indeed of Canada.
‘« The forests of Canada contain pine, spruce,
hemlock, oak, elm, maple, beech, bir
butternut, hickory, bass wood, etc. Nez
38 per cent. of its whole area is forested.
‘“In 1899 the capital invested in the p
mills ot Canada alone was about $15,000,00¢
The capacity of the mills was over 1200
per day. The value of the forest products
exported in 1901 was nearly $33,000,000, and ©
their total must have been at least three times
that amount.” x
By this it will be seen that Canada willhave
something to show. The Canadian Com-
missioner, Mr. Wm. Hutchison, is now actively ®

BURNT TIMBER.
Arrangements are being made by several of
the firms whose limits were swept by the fires

that raged last spring in Quebec, New Bruns-
wick and Nova Scotia to send men in early
to cut the damaged timber. Prompt action
must be taken if the timber is to be saved from
the ravages of the small white worm that preys
on exposed wood in the Canadian limits. This
parasite seemingly cannot get inits fine work
when the tree is protected by its verdure, but
once the trunk is charred or scarred in the
slightest degree, it finds an opening. Cases
have been known where the worm has attacked
and worked on shanties which have been stand

ing for a season or more. In other cases
charred trees have escaped for a couple ot
seasons, while those ona nearby limit have,
in a few months, been rendered unfit for the
chopper’s attention.

LUMBERMEN'S AXES.

One of the largest manufacturers of axes and edge
tools for the use of the lumber trade is the James Smart
Manufacturing Company, Limited, of Brockville, Ont.
This well known company not only make axes, but a
general line of metal goods.

In order to make the above it requires one of ‘the
largest plants in the country, and this the Smart Com-
pany have. Their special line, however, is lumbermen’s
axes, wcod-splitting mauls, cedar wedges, hanging
wedges, chopping axes,joiner’s and framing axes, tom
ahawks, lathing and shingle hatchets, etc.

These axes and wedges are manufactured from solid
cast steel, polished bits and in a great variety of pat-
terns, as used in the different sections of our Dominion.

Lumbermen and camp supply jobbers should send for

the works of this company at Brockville shows an im-
mense staff employed in the developing of a great
industry.

LUMBERING IN THE EAST.

Almost each section of country develops its
own peculiar features of lumbering, and the
operators in one district take an interest in
the conditins and methods which prevail in
another. The American Lumberman gives a
splendid account of lumbering operations in
Maine, which are very similar to those in
New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Oflogs and
legging it is said that the differences in meth-
ods begin in the woods. Maine is, of course,
the great lumber producer of New England.
It is a state so well supplied with water courses
that the logging railroad has seldom been em-
ployed, and the river driver still remains in
control of log transportation. The western
visitor to Maine mills is struck by the long
and miscellaneous length logs that he will see
in the woods and being put through the mill.
The Maine logger does not bother much witha
saw inthe woods. The axe fells the tree, cuts
off the top and trims it up, and then the stick
goes undissected to the boom: Whatever length
of log the tree will make is usually the way
in which it reaches the mill.

It has been earnestly argued by some that
trees should be sawed and not chopped down,
as by that means a good deal of timber would
be saved; but on the other hand most of the
Maine logging streams are more or less rugged,
and square butted logs would be more likely
to be damaged by the rocks than those which
are roughly shaped with the axe. An operator
on Kennebec waters says that if he sawed down
the tree he should probably roughly point
them with an axe before putting them in the
water. He gets a few million feet of logs each
year out of a stream which has a fall of 1,200
feet in five miles. It is no greased slide, either,
but is lined and bottomed with rock, which
batters up the logs pretty badly.

There is one reform in felling, however, which
meets with approval, and that is to cut the
trees as close to the ground as possible. The
average chopper likes to swing his axe ata
convenient height, with the result that one to
three feet of the best part ot each tree are left
in the woods. Forest Commissioner Ring is
an earnest advocate of economy in this matter.

LENGTHS OF LOGS AND LUMBER.

When the logs reach the mill there is some
cross-cutting done. Pine is usually cut to even
lengths, somewhat in conformity with western
customs, but spruce, if not cut for special bills,
is sawed full length and trimmed to the near-
est foot. It seems to be preferred in this
shape by the majority of buyers, and a yard
full of this stock presents a rough appearance,
no matter how much care is used in piling.
An exception is to be noted in the deal trade.
Deals are cut to standard lengths, widths and
thicknesses.

A curious thing—which prevails to a con-
siderable extent in all New England—is the
use of untrimmed and unedged lumber in pine.
There are a good many small mills cutting
second growth pine, or old growth when it
can be found, which cut their logs up live, or
practically so; or may flatten one side, if they
use a circular saw, and then cut the log right
up. This rough looking stock is bought by
the factories, which find that it suits their

purpose just as well as though it were edged
and trimmed.
NEW ENGLAND MILLS.

The result of sawing long logs and other
peculiarities of the business of course have their
effect on mill equipment. There are some fine
saw mills in New England, but there is probably
not one that at first glance would meet the
entire approval of a man familiar only with
methods in such states, for instance, as Wis-
consin or Arkansas. For example, there are
comparatively few shotgun feedsinuse. There
are some mill men who have adopted them
and swear by them, but most of them of the
better class tse the twin-engine feed as better
adapted to the long logs they have to handle.
The spruce logs are usually cut full length,
unless upwards of 40 feet long, when they
may be cut in two; but so many logs run be-
tween 30 and 40 feet in length that the twin-
engine steam feed is perhaps the most satis-
factory tool for general use. In fact, any
double mill wou!d ke equipped to cut 50 or
60 feet on one side.

Just beyond the decks and between the mills,
whether band, circular or gang, is located a
jump-up saw, which cuts a log as indicated by
the orders in hand. The jacker chain ends at
the top of the slide and there are live rolls be-
tween decks, fixed with a back-up arrange-
ment so that after the logs are carried ahead
to crosscut they can be run back to the deck.
This same crosscutting saw also cuts bolts for
the clapboard machine. Cutting lumber as
they do, the Maine mills are seldom equipped
with a gang trimmer. As the boards are trim-
med full length, and any length that they will
make, the old fashioned railroad or jump saw
is used.

There are a few mills that still cling to the
old live gang. Some of the Lumberman’s read-
ers may not know what a live gang is. It is
simply a gang through which round logs are
put. Most of them used in the eastern mills
have no oscillation, but simply move in a
straight line up and down, while the logs are
dogged in place and fed by a ratchet and
pinion device that feeds them forward when the
sash is descending. The rate of feed varies
from Y to 2 inches for each stroke. There are
those who claim that this old-fashioned mill is
still the best for cutting deals for the English
market. The saw marks are straight across
the board, the sawing is even and they claim
that the back movement of the gang cleans
away the cut so as to avoid the splintering at
the bottom that is sometimes seen in the product
of the modern gang.

While there are a good many relics of prim-
itive saw mili days in Maine, New Hampshire
and Vermont and even in New York, most of
the larger mills are equipped with bands and
probably turn out the finest manufactured

are not so anxious for quantity as the mill men
of the south and west. Yet a mill man said
the other day that the English trade does not
care for smoothly sawed deals; that if the sur-
face were a little roughit seemed to improve
the grade, but that it was important that they
should be band or gang and not circular sawed.

CLAPBOARDS AND CLAPBOARD |

A feature of all the larger New dapat ind di

insist is in every way superior to the bev,

are put up 40 pieces, or ten boxes, in a bundle,

boxes. The box is made of four of these
pieces with three thicker pieces at the ends
and in the middle. The thick wood is mainly
an Austrian product, though Mr. Stewart
ships about 500,000 sets annually. One po-
tent reason which induces the Italian shippers
to buy boxes in this country is that the United
States gives a rebate of 15 per cent. on re-
importation. The hoops or straps that bind
the boxes are produced from an Italian chest-

Speaking of the export trade, it is reported
that the shipments of American pine and spruce
to Germany are being seriously interfered with
by a new product which comes from Hungary.
About 200,000,000 feet were secured from that
source last year, itis said, all of which has
cut out just so much pine of Swedish, Can-
adian or American origin.

MEDICAL ATTENDANCE IN LUMBER CAMPS.

_ Dr. H. P. Bryce, Secretary of the Ontario
Board of Health, is working energetically to
improve the sanitary condition of lumber camps.
He is sending a circular letter to all lumber-
men in regard to the matter and calling atten-
tion to the new Order-in-Council concerning
medical attendance in lumbering and mining
camps in the unorganized portions of New On-
io. The Order-in-Council is as follows :

PULP AND PAPER MANUFACTURE IN
BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Mr. R.-E. Gosnell, Secretary of the British
Columbia Bureau.of Information, is doing ex-
cellent work for the province by furnishing in-
formation calculated to develop its natural
resources and increase its export trade. He
has recently issued two important bulletins,
entitled ‘‘The Timber Industry of British
Columbia” and ‘‘ The Markets on the Pacific
for British Columbia Wood Pulp and Paper.”
The following extracts bearing upon the pulp
and paper industry explain the situation :

No mills for the manufacture of wood pulp
or paper are at present established in this
province, but no portion of Canada can show
greater advantages for these industrics.
Water-powers can be found on the coast of the
mainland which afford unique facilities for in-
dustrial works, owing to their situation adjacent

* to deep water, to their ease of development,
and to their being in the centre of the timber
areas. In addition to the water-powers on the
coast, there are numerous fine water-powers in
the interior of British Columbia, where can also
be found immense quantities of wood suitable
for pulp ; but at the present time the rate of
freight to the coast would be a bar to success-
ful competition in the outside markets.

Along the coast-line of the mainland of
British Columbia and Vancouver Island prac-
tically inexhaustible areas of pulp wood can be
found. South of Knight’s Inlet the most
abundant wood is the Douglas fir, which is
successfully used for the manufacture of
chemical pulp. Its suitability for mechanical
pulp is not so certain. North of Knight's Inlet
is the spruce and hemlock belt, affording
enormous supplies of excellent pulp-wood—the
Sitka spruce especially being unexcelled by any
other wood for pulp purposes. These woods
cover large tracts immediately contiguous to
the sea-coast, so that logs can be landed at the
mills at very low cost.

An important point in favour of the industries
on the sea-coast of British Columbia is the
mildness of the winters, which admits of opera-
tions being carried cn throughout the whole
year. The forests of this province are much
more densely wooded than those of Eastern
Canada, 500 cords per acre being not un-
common, while from 1oo to 150 cords may be
taken ‘as a fair average of good timber lands.
With proper husbanding the forests are prac-
tically inexhaustible for pulp-wood purposes.
This is essentially a timber country. Atmos-
pheric conditions are especially favourable to
tree growth, which is very rapid, and the ex-
tent of otherwise valueless country along the
coast that can be devoted to forestry is
enormous. Owing to its wealth of raw
material, excellent water-powers and geo-
graphical position, British Columbia occupies

a position of eminent advantage in competing
for the pulp and paper trade of the Pacific.

An important factor bearing upon the future
of British Columbia as the centre of the pulp
and paper trade of the Pacific is the rapid
depletion of the forests of the United States,
and it is confidently anticipated that the im-
portation of Canadian pulp and pulp-wood to
that country, already large, will continue to
rapidly increase. In conclusion, there is no
industry, not even mining itself, which gives
greater promie of commercial value and
general importance than that of the manufac-
ture of wood pulp and paper in this province.

The Legislature of British Columbia has
passed an Act which authorizes the Govern-
ment to enter into agreements with pulp com-
panies, granting them leases of pulp lands on
very favourable terms, both as regards rental
and royalties, and to reserve areas out of
which selections of pulp lands may be made.

The pulp companies with whom agreements
have been made are: The Industrial Power
Company, the Pacific Coast Power Company,
the Cassiar Power and Industrial Company,
the Oriental Power Company, and the Quatsino
Power and Pulp Company. All of these have
large limits and water-powers reserved.

A special feature of British Columbia timber
areas is their density, the yield being greatly
in excess of that obtainable from equal areas
in Eastern Canada. The average cut in
Ontario is about 10 cords per acre, while upon
the lands secured by these companies the esti-
mated cut is over 100 cords per acre. This
density enables logging to be carried on to
great advantage, and it is estimated that the
cost of wood at the mills for many years will
be at least one-third the average cost to
Eastern American mills. Cheap coal of ex-
cellent quality can be obtained from Nanaimo
or Union, and shipments can be made directly
by water to the mills.

The markets that can, with special facility,
be supplied from British Columbia are: British
Columbia, Japan, Australia, China, New Zea-
land, Hawaii, the Philipines, Western Coast
of South America, Western Coast of Mexico,
and Asiatic Russia.

The home market is a rapidly-growing one,
and with the steady growth of population a
correspondingly rapid increase of the require-
ments in the way of paper may reasonably be
anticipated. The long distance from the
Eastern mills and the freight rates make com-
petition from the East impossible.

Japan probably furnishes the greatest possi-
bilities for the future, the imports of paper in
1900 amounting to over $2,000,000, and that
of pulp to about $230,000: Both the demand
for pulp and paper in Japan is increasing very
rapidly, and the pulp mills of this province will
be in the best possible position to supply it.

Oe ee an ie 7
aul | THE CANADA LUMBERMAN | Seer

The Australian market is perhaps the mos
important at the present time. There are nc
suitable pulping woods on that continent, anc
no water-powers, so that Australia is almost
wholly dependent upon outside sources for its
supply of paper.

If preterential trade duties were arrange
between Canada and Australia, as may be
possible in the future, Canada (and Br
Columbia in particular) will occupy a po
of great advantage as compared with c
countries competing for this trade. It is
noted that a considerable portion of the p
imported into Australia from Great Brita
the United States was manufactured fro
shipped from Eastern Canada. The ft
charges (and customs duties, in the case
United States) on this must materially
the cost, and can be entirely avoided by manu-
facturing the paper in British Columbia. __

Mr. Gosnell’s views as to the possibilities of
the pulp industry have evidently become
fied, as his last contribution on the su
says:

It has been established beyond qusabiee
a very large market for paper, and inciden
for pulp manufactured in the province, d
exist, sufficient to justify the erection of o1
more paper mills. |

' There are, however, one or more impo t:
considerations to be kept in mind. The mé
for pulp alone, apart from a paper mill, is.
large enough for a large pulp mill. ia
practically the only consumer of that produ
so far as we are conc-rned. The output
pulp must be largely consumed in the
paper mills, for the products of which there
very exclusive markets in Australia, Sou
America and other countries bordering on th
Pacific Ocean. There is, too, in Brit
Columbia and the Northwest a home demai
which is rapidly extending—not sufficient, p
haps, to absorb the entire output of a pay
mill, but nevertheless an important market in
that connection.

There are also to be considered dey que
of labour and shipping facilities. sabes
the Coast is higher than in the East ; but
other natural conditions are so iaveuee t
careful estinyates show that pulp can be ma
factured several dollars a ton cheaper here t
in Eastern Canada, on that account.
location of the timber reserves on the w
edge, with water carriage to the mills, is
explanation of that, and will compens
increased cost of labour. Shipping fac
and competition in ocean vessels is
limited on the West than on the East C
but the development of ocean traffi

PULP NOTES,

It is expected that the new pulp mill of J. R. Booth
at the Chaudiere, Ottawa, will be in operation within a
_ month.

The Fraser River Power & Pulp Company, Limited,
has been incorporated by the British Columbia Gov-
ernment.

Price Bros. & Company have built a card-board mill
at Joniquieres, Que., for using up the product of the
. pulp mills at that place.

James Murray, of Vancouver, has been examining
spruce timber limits on the Sound for the purpose of
reporting to the British Columbia Government as to the
extent of pulp wood in that district.

the capital by $1,200,000 in order to permit of making
certain improvements to the mills.

The Menzie Wall Paper Company has recently been
formed by Toronto capitalists. The charter gives the
company power to build and operate pulp and paper
mills and to develop water powers.

The E. B. Eddy Company, of Hull, Que., have in-
stalled two new yrinders in No, 2 pulp mill and have
built a new flume. The company have not sufficient
ground wood for the amount of paper they were mak-
ing, hence the increase in equipment.

There is a prospect of the pulp mill at Chatham, N.
B., again resuming operations. Recently R. A. Law-
lor asked the council for a fixed assessment of $100,-
ooo for ten years in the event of obtaining the neces-
sary capital to again begin the manufacture of pulp.

The American Thread Company, of Willimantic,
Conn., has begun the installation of a plant for the
manufacture of pulp spools. This process has been in
course of development for the past two years and many
obstacles had to be ovcrcome before the spool! was per-
fected.

The Pacific Coast Power Company, Limited, has
been yranted incorporation by the British Columbia
Government. The company have acquired large tim-
ber limits and rights on Powell river and propose to
erect pulp and paper mills. It is agreed to spend $50,-
ooo before January 10, 1904.

Capt. Edward Partington, of Manchester, England,
has recently been on a: visit to St. John, N. B., in con-
nection with the business of the Cushing Pulp Com-
pany at that place. He said that pulp wood had in-
creased 50 per cent. in price, but that the Cushing mill

was paying and would be operated to its fullest cap-
acity.

Advices from South America state that a new pro-
cess for inaking paper from the leaves of the maize
plant has been invented in Brazil. The specimens
of paper produced, which were made with imperfect
apparatus, are of excellent quality, though only of the
rougher sorts of wrapping paper. Should the invent-
or’s anticipations be realized it is clear that a new and
important industry could be established in South Ameri-
ca, where maize is extensively cultivated and the leaves
are not utilized except to a small extent for feeding
cattle. The inventor says that in the state of Bahia, to
which he belongs, maize yields two crops per annum,
and that three crops could be secured where irrigation
is employed.

It is becoming more and more necessary, says Fores-
try and Irrigation, that a substitute shall be found for
spruce in the paper-making industry, and it is probable
that experiments will show many trees which can be
profitably utilized, and thus serve the double purpose
of keeping the industry alive and saving the spruce
from total destruction. The possibilities of straw, corn
stalks, and waste from sugar cane, have not yet been
exhausted, and the prevention of waste has never had
sufficient attention. Spruce has so far established it-
self as the pulp material par excellence, that most
manufacturers will hear of no other. Nevertheless
poplar, cottonwood, hemlock, and even pine are being
used, and for the best paper a blend of other woods is
used in connection with spruce, In spite of the present
prejudice in favor or spruce pulp, there are signs which
point toward the use of other pulps with no admixture
of spruce at all.

_ in the County Court at Vancouver, B.C., recently. It
seems that some time ago the firm of Messrs. G. H.

_ Finlay & Company established a logging camp up the

They had some twenty men employed and took out
a several booms. The men claim that their wages were
i in arrears. The Woodmen's Act gives the logger or
timberman who has worked on the logs a lien for his
wages for a certain time, and failing payment, the men
appointed a representative to obtain counsel to protect
themselves. As a consequence Messrs. Bowser &
Wallbridge claimed a lien on behalf of Frank O'Toole,

However, the magnitude of this foreign demand for
Dodge products will certainly open the eyes of those
who have not watched the increasing export trade of

nearly twenty-five years. He was a director of the
Lumber Mutual Fire Insurance Company, of Boston,
Mass.

The following gentlemen from England, closely con-
nected with the lumber trade, were representatives at
the Congress of Chambers of Commerce of the Empire
in Montreal last month: Mr. William Bennett Wilson
(of Wilson Bros.), Barnsley ; Major William Gradwell,
of Barrow-in-Furness ; Mr. William Kay, of Bolton;
and Mr. W. F. Beardshaw and Mr. H. H. Bedford, of
Sheffield.

Rev. Alfred Fitzpatrick, of Toronto, general secre-
tary of the Canadian Reading Camp Association, re-
cently spent a short time in British Columbia. While
not proposing immediately to establish institutions in
this province similar to those that have proved so
successful in the lumbering and mining camps of On-
tario, Mr. Fitzpatrick’s visit was for the purpose of
arousing an interest in the work. Should employers
and employees promise sufficient support in the matter,
it is altogether probable that an organizer will be sent
to British Columbia.

Mr. Andrew McCormack, the veteran lumberman,
who has for many years been a familiar figure in the
Ottawa Valley, and who has been closely associated in
business with the late Alexander Fraser, left recently
on a tour of exploration, - While away he will visit
several new limits which he has recently purchased.
His trip will be made largely with canoes with Indian
guides as companions. Before he returns he expects
to travel over four hundred miles in this way. The
limits which he is going to visit are up on the Height
of Land, towards Hudson's Bay. He went to Pem-
broke by train and from there will take the boat fora
distance up the Ottawa, branching into the timber on
the Dumoine river and on to Grand Lake and along
the Mattawa river. His return will be made by the
Quanz river, a stream running into the Ottawa far
north. Almost his entire trip will be through virgin
forest heretofore unexplored. It will take him about °
three months to complete the tour, and for a man of his
years the trip is a big undertaking, as Mr. McCormack
is seventy-four years old.

LUMBER COMBINE INVESTIGATION.

The first sitting of the commission to take
evidence in regard to the alleged lumber
combine in Manitoba and the Territories was
held at Winnipeg on August 17th. No evi-
dence was submitted, as neither plaintiffs nor
defendants were ready. The commission was
adjourned for four weeks.

Advertising death is generally brought about
through the existence of one or more of three distinct

merit in it like this one is put onto the market,
often times other machinery manufacturers will recog-

try and start in to copy, of course providing they can do
it. We expect it may be the case with this machine,

We are the Sole Manufacturers of Saws

— Simond’s Process

in the Dominion of Canada.

There is no process its equal for tempering circular saws. Other makers recognize this fact, as some of
them, in order to sell their goods, claim to have the same process. All such Claims are FALSE, as the
patentee in the U. S. and ourselves are the only firms in the world who use it.

INSERTED TOOTH SAWS

Notice the improved shank. We call particular

attention to the swell which strengthens it at the weakest

part and which gives it more wear than the old style.

Shanks made in usual gauges and to fit your saws

| perfectly.

SHINGLE SAWS

You are Guilty

of being deceived if you accept a substi-
tute for the Dodge Pulley, and you will find the de-
ception will be highly expensive in the long run.

There's no “just as good as the Dodge Pulley,”

although some dealers will try to sell you a substitute.

Insist on having the Dodge Pulley, and when
your order is filled be sure that you have got the
original Dodge wood splitipulley.

THE FORESTER AN ENGINEER.
By Pror. B. E, FERNOW.

The first task of the forester, in beginning
_ the management of a forest property, is to
. provide cheap and efficient means of trans-
_ portation for the removal of a bulky crop, of
_ which much is inferior, and if possible to so
arrange this harvest that it may be made
‘ gradually and continually, logging over the
____ same area for a number of years.
Here, in the harvest, logger and forester have
similar, yet not identical interests, for the
____ Jogger lacks the requirement of logging over
_ the same area gradually and continually, of
7 having to remove cordwood, weeds and debris,
of caring for the young aftergrowth. Never-
a theless, the forester must natur-

trees, and not destroy its own value and _ that
of others by crushing or lodging. Skidding
is now in some forests done by an engine and
wire rope. First successfully applied in the
cypress swamps of the South, then on the
mountains of the Pacific Coast with the pon-

methods promise to supercede the old-fashioned

especially of hardwoods, are to be lumbered,

to bring the log harvest from the forest to the

logs from shorter or longer distances to the
cars by wire ropes running over drums, the
ropes being disposed in various ways according
to the lay of the ground. One of the essential
devices is the cast steel nose or cone (Baptist
patent), which caps the log automatically when
the rope is pulled taut, and steers the log over
any stumps, stones, or other impediments.

There are now four different methods of
steam skidding used. Thesimplest, applicable
to flat lands, consists in snaking the logs over
the ground and assembling them at the cars
by means of a hoisting engine and drum, a
horse returning the rope with a grappling hook
or tongs at the end; the loading is done by a
separate rope and drum.

The distance to which this skidding may be
done is, of course, dependent upon the length
of rope-which it is practicable to wind on the
drum or drums and to have the horse return.
Usually this is not more than 800 to 1,500 feet,

when the machine may make from 150 to 250
pulls per day, the cost on the average witha
crew of eleven men and three mules being
about $24 per day, and the output, of course,
dependent on the character of the timber and
the log size, which determines the number of
feet coming with each pull.
Where the ground is-less flat and simple in
contour, and where it is preferable to return
the rope and grapple automatically, the ‘‘slack
rope system” may be employed. In this system
a wire cable is strung from a head tree near the
engine to a stump in the woods, on which
travels.a carriage (Miller patent), with a spec-
ially designed block (Butler’s patent) through
which the skidding rope with logging tongs

running over a separate drum
of the hoisting engine, returns.

where the tong men pull the

tongs to the logs lying along

and

The loading on cars is done
by a separate set of drums and
rigging. To use this system,
which may extend to a longer
distance than the snaking sys-
tein satisfactorily, the ground
must be tolerably free from
rocks and obstructions. Ac-
cording to conditions and dis-
tances, from 80 to 120 pulls may

ber of side lines working simul-
taneously, by which the effi-
ciency is greatly increased ;
otherwise horses or mules gather the logs to
the pulling line.

In the cypress swamps, where this method
is largely used, the machine is placed on a
large scow, moving in canals prepared to float
the logs. Here the distance to which the
skidder works is 2,500 to 4,000 feet, the
ponderous logs moving at the rate of 500 to
600 feet a minute, breaking through the timber
with thundering noise. Such a pull boat is
capable of landing 30,000 to 50,000 feet ver
day in the water.

In more mountainous districts, where narrow
valleys and coves with steep slopes are to be
lumbered, the log-gathering system finds its con-
ditions. In this a cable is stretched from slope
to slope across the railroad track in the valley,
and the logs are gathered to the track by the
skidding rope and carriage. The distance to
which the system may work, depending some-
what on the degree of slope, may be up to

MiThe first steam logging railroad was built in

A LUMBERING RAILWAY.

Michigan in 1878 by W. S. Gerrish, who was
called a hare-brained enthusiast for his inno-
vation, which however, provedsuccessful. Ten
years later many such logging roads of 25 and
even 45 miles in length, and altogether over
3,000 miles were in existence; in Michigan
alone over 720 miles. Now the logging rail-
road has become so general that the mileage
may be estimated to exceed 25,000 miles.
There are still three different kinds of logging
railroads in use: The pole road, the tramway
with sawed wood rails with or without strap

iron capping or flat bar iron rail, and the iron
or steel T railroad. Each road has its merits
and advantages of its own in given situations,
although the regular steel T railroad, all things
considered, seems to have found most favor.

In the Cornell College forest a standard gauge
with 40-pound steel rail has been used on spurs,
and a 46-pound rail on the main road, witha
27-ton engine.

The economical construction of logging roads
which are designed to serve only a temporary

no engineer is called upon to make in con-
structing standard roads. It stands to reason
that to secure the least expensive logging roads,
the main effort must be made in the location

of the road, for this influences not only the
cost of constructing but of operating it. No
rules but engineering gumption must determine.
Where wood is cheap and right at hand, it is
often indicated to use imperfect and unmark-
e.able logs instead of earthwork, or matting of

requirement is one of the engineering problems
which more and more interests lumbermen,
and even toa greater extent foresters, who
are forced to secure even greater economy,
since the margins from their business are for
a time at least necessarily smaller. In such
roads cuts and fills must to avoided as much
as possible, while heavy grades, numerous
and sharp curves are necessarily to be exten-
sively used, and it takes a careful weighing of
saving in cost of first construction against
losses in maintenance and efficiency, such as

and similar devices which do not commend
themselves for main line.

Jn Europe portable tramways and wire rope
ways are much employed—the longest, five
miles, being in the Alps. Portable railways
are sometimes employed in connection with
more permanent roads, 2 rails attached to
steel ties; each yoke, 10-15 feet long, with 1o-
24 Ib. rail, weighing 75-100 pounds, hook into
each other. The newest type has been invented
by a forester, and is laid without rails. The

cords a day.

Altogether landing places and terminals
must be located with circumspection, to take
care of the bulky material and secure the
_ cheapest handling of it, which, with cordwood
even more than with logs, depends upon the
character of the landings.

There are now very generally employed

_ steam loaders; hoisting engines with outhaul
ropes running over drums, which pick up the
logs alongside the track. Various devices are

still a wide field unoccupied, the development
of which would aid the business of the forester.
We are still relying on brute force for felling
trees, sawing them into logs and cutting and
splitting cordwood. Attempts to apply steam
or electric power in tree felling have so far
failed to bring out any practical method.
There are now on trial cordwood cutting
machines, but they are so far only applicable
for very special conditions which can be rarely
met.

In entirely different direction is gre miecning

special line of forest engi-
neering has developed in
connection with the recla-
mation and reforestation of
sand dunes and denuded
mountain sides. This has
been especially developed
by the French foresters,

tain ranges against torren-
tial action induced by de-
forestation. This __ forest
engineering is now prac-
ticed in all countries where
forestry is developed and the necessity i this
work has been recognized.

The fixation of sand dunes has also been
begun in the United States by the Harbor Com-
missioners of Massachusetts at Cape Cod and
elsewhere. It is a simple operation, which
consists in first quieting the sand by mechan-
ical means, fencesand brush, or turf cover,

and by cutting off or
breaking the force of the
wind by means of an
artificially
ward dune. Then grasses
and other deep-rooting
- and root-creeping plants
‘are used to bind the sand
together, and finally tree
growth can be estab-

induced for-

lished to give permanent
protection.

On the denuded moun-
tain slopes it is also first
the mechanical quieting
of water and soil move-
ment which must precede
the work of the forester.
This work must begin at
the top of the mountains,
where the waters gather
their momentum into torrents which carry soil
and debris to-lower levels. By fascine works,
revetments and retaining walls the waters are
obstructed in their direct descent, and the
violent rush over steep slopes is changed into
gentle falls, when the pockets behind the breast-
works are filled up with the debris and soil.
Then when the waters are directed into proper
channels and the soil has thus become quieted,
sodding and sowing with grass restores the
meadow on the gentler slopes, while on the

‘THE CANADA LUMBERMAN > te

steeper slopes a forest growth is planted and
the equilibrium of nature’s forces, which man
had disturbed to his own detriment by the
reckless devastation of the mountain forests,
will be gradually re-established.

These glimpses into the problems of an
engineering character which are presented to
the forester will suffice to justify the claim that
he is in need of aconsiderable amount of en-
gineering knowledge and gumption, which is
to be applied under conditions in which it is
not usually practicable to employ an engineer.

METHOD OF LOGGING.

While for main constructions it may be ad-
visable to call in an engineer, at least in con-
sultation, in smaller constructions and in operat-
ing roads, railroads, etc., the forester can
hardly afford not to be his own engineer. He
must have the knowledge which will make him
independent of the professional engineer.
Students of forestry, therefore, need a course
in engineering which will make them acquaint-
ed with principles and methods of construction
of special interest to them in their business. -
On the other hand engineers may find a field
in solving engineering problems for the
forester, and in improving his methods, with-
out becoming professional foresters.

hold its own against metal as a material for
water pipes and certain other purposes.

The engineer of the Niagara Fa'ls Power
Company has substituted redwood for steel in
the new water tunnel which is now under con-
struction, the reason given for the preference
being that when water is passed over the
wood a surface of a soapy and pasty nature is
formed, which is proof against the corrosion
which is said to destroy steel linings in an
incredibly short space of time. Pipes formed
of redwood are also cheaper than steel, and
although the wood is combustible, it burns so
slowly as to form a very fair protection against
fire in house building.

DEFINITION OF LUMBER TERMS.
Having been asked for an interpretation of
the terms ‘‘ Mill Run, Culls Out,” and ‘‘ Mill
Run,” we submitted to a number of lumber
manufacturers and dealers throughout the
Dominion the following questions :

(1) What is generally understood by the term ‘‘ Mill run,
culls out” in hardwood lumber.

(2) What grades of lumber can a buyer of hardwood
demand under a contract reading ‘‘Mill run, culls out.”

(3) What grades of lumber can a buyer of hardwood de-
mand under a contract reading ‘‘Mill run.”

The answers received up to the time of
going to press will be found below :

J.R.Eaton, Orillia, Ont.: (1) Common and better. (2)
Common and better. (3) All lumber, with dead culls out.

Leak & Company, Toronto, Ont. : (1) We would take a
everything above mill culls. (2) Everything above mill
culls. (3) Everything but mill culls and dead culls.

Gall Lumber Company, Toronto, Ont. : (1) All culls
must be out (dead culls, mill culls and shipping culls). (2)
Common and better. (3) This would mean the whole log,
dead culls and all.

Maitland, Rixon & Co., Owen Sound, Ont.: (1) We
would say ‘‘ mill run, culls out” would be firsts, seconds
and common, mill and dead culls out. (2) Firsts, seconds

and common. (3) The product of the log, same as log run.

John Harrison & Sons Company, Owen Sound, Ont. :
We would understand the term ‘‘ Mill run, culls out” to
mean ‘‘ mill culls rejected,” and would also understand a
contract for ‘‘mill run” lumber to mean ‘‘mill culls out,”
whether specified or not.

McBean & Verrall, Toronto, Ont.: On account of having
no standard set of rules governing Canadian inspection of
this grade, we do not recognize the term ‘“‘mill run” at all.
We would say that the interpretation of ‘‘ mill run, culls
out” would mean all culls out, or common and better.

Meaney & Company, Toronto, Ont. : (1) We under-
stand the term ‘“‘mill run, culls out” to mean all lumber
above the grade of mill culls, or in other words it means
common and better; no grade between mill culls and
common. (2) ‘‘Mill run, culls out” means all
above and including common. (3) ‘‘Mill run”
grades above and including ‘‘mill culls.”

Laking, Patterson & Company, Hamilton, Ont. : (1)
We presume that the terms “mill run, culls out” and “‘log
run, culls out” are the same, and imply all the cut of the
log except culls, (2) We think that under the term ‘‘mill
run, culls out,” the buyer is entitled to all the product of
the log except the culls, which would imply common and
better. (3) As faras we know there is very little, if any,
lumber bought or sold as mill run without the term being
qualified in some respect.

Hurdman & Elmitt, Ottawa: (1) It is generally under-
stood among mill men that the term ‘‘mill run, culls out”
means mill run with dead culls out. (2) He can demand
common and better, i. e , mill run; dead, mill and shipping
culls out. (3) The term mill run is generally understood
to mean mill and dead culls out, but under a contract
reading ‘‘mill run” a buyer cannot demand other than the
total output of log—dead culls and better.

A Manufacturer :
culls out”

Regarding the term ‘‘mill run, mill
in hardwood lumber, the way I understand this
grading, and whichis also the way I inspect my lumber, mill
run means the full product of the log, also the logs taken
as they are in the raft, that is, there would be no grading
of the logs. The grade of lumber that a buyer of hardwood
lumber would get would be.shipping culls, common and
better. This would also cover your third question. I have
sold all my hardwood stock this year in this way and this is
the inspection I intend to give.

Reid & Company, Toronto, Ont. : (1) ‘ Culls out”
means to us ‘‘all” culls out. (2) Under contract reading
“mill run, culls out” a buyer can demand:lumber that will
grade common and better, that is, the product of the log
with all culls out. (3) A buyer should get under this con-
tract all the log produces if he were slack enough not to
make provision for the dead culls at least to be left out.
No man understanding his business would make a contract
of that kind unless he got the lumber for a very low price
and it were understood that he was to take it that way.

The Knight Brothers Company, Burk’s Falls, Ont. : (1)
The full run of the log excepting mill culls or dead culls (by

dead culls we mean lumber’ that contains less than 50 per
cent. of sound cutting). The Americans appear to call this
mill cull or No. 3common. (2) No, t and 2 common and
mill culls or under N. H. L. Association rules firsts,seconds,
No. 1 common and No. 2common. (3) No. 1 and No. 2
common and mill culls. | Further, we wish to observe that
the term ‘‘mill run, culls out” without reference to any par-
ticular inspection rules is not sufficiently definite and may

Jead to all sorts of misunderstandings and difficulties be-_

tween buyer and seller.

Davidson & Thackray, Ottawa: (1) The term ‘“‘mill
run, culls out,” means that anything that will not make
a piece of clear flooring one side is a cull, such as hak es
or knot holes or unsound knots. Very often in a hardwood
board, say Io inches wide, you will find a heart that is 2
inches, in a case of that kind we generally measure it 8 inches
wide and make it so. (2) That is a matter not easily
settled, what one man might call a cull another would not.
(3) A buyer of hardwood can only demand mill run, which
means everything in the log. In pine lumber it is generally
specified mill culls out, but where it distinctly states mill
run we would think a buyer would have to take it just.as it
comes from the log.

Keenan Bros., Owen Sound, Ont.: As to the definition of
the term ‘‘ mill run, culls out” in hardwood lumber, would
say that we think this is only a catch term, as we believe it
to be an established rule of the hardwood trade that mill
culls are not marketable except by specialagreement. Con-
sequently the term ‘‘ mill run, culls out” would mean the
full run of the log with mill culls out, and this is the grade
that we would accept under a similar agreément, althongh
we would, we think, be particular to specify the grade of
culls that we would expect to throw out. .We think the fact
that mill culls are only marketable by special agreement
answers the three questions,

J. S. Findlay, Owen Sound, Ont. : (1) Were a contract
worded in this manner, I would take it that it was the in-
tention of the seller to have buyer take stock, shipping culls
and better, but on the other hand a sharp buyer could con-
tend that he was only entitled to take common and better,
ann leave the shipping culls on the seller’s hands. From
the seller’s point of view, the contract should read, ‘Mill
run, mill culls out.” This answer will cover questions No. 1
and 2. (3) Ina contract reading thus, I would say that the
buyer would be entitled to take the entire run of the log, with
the exception of what is called ‘‘Dead Culls”—pieces of lum-
ber that are of no marketable value as lumber, and for which
These questions have al-
ways been a subject of more or less dispute, and partake
somewhat of the nature of the question, ‘‘What colour is

‘red 2?” and ‘‘What colour no colour at all.”

Rhodes, Curry & Co,, Amherst, Nova Scotia: (1) Our
understanding of the term “ mill run with culls out ” is that
the purchaser gets all the merchantable lumber in the log ;
that all the clears and better grades are to be left in, the
only thing taken out being the culls, or, as we would call it
in the Lower Provinces, refuse ; and we would say that if a
mill man sold on above specification and kept out any por-

tion of the better lumber, he would be violating the contract.

(3) If the buyer agrees to take mill run, it wovld mean that
he would take all the lumber made from the log, including
the refuse, and it would naturally be inferred that the buyer
in any of the three cases would get a fair average of all the
logs on hand; that is, the mill man would not be allowed
to select the poorer classes of logs to saw under a aaa run
contract.

R. E. Kinsman, Hamilton, Ont. : Considering that the
regular grades of hardwood lumber here are No. 1 and 2,
common, culls and dead culls, I maintain that ‘‘mill run,
culls out” means all the better end, that is, No. 1 and 2
and common, with culls and dead culls out. ‘‘Mill run” I
consider includes everything except dead culls. I have run
across a few men who claim that there is a grade between
common and culls, which they choose to give the name of
shipping culls, that should go in when ‘‘mill run, culls out”

is bought, but I do not agree with them. Buying lumber-

either mill run or mill culls out is very unsatisfactory for the
simple reason that nearly all of the mills cut the best of
their lumber into dimension stuff or the thicker sizes. I
never yet met a mill man who sold his lumber ‘mill. run,
culls out” or ‘‘mill run.” When this dimension stuff and
thicker sizes are taken out of the best logs and the best cuts
of all the logs, what is left to be sawn into 1 or 1% inch is
not ‘‘mill run, culls out,” nor ‘‘mill run.” This_is one of
the worst features about the hardwood business that exists
at the present time.

The Canadins inspection has ae PR ae oe two = ,
grades of culls, viz., dead culls and mill culls, and—
“mill run, culls out’ is an American term for hardwood Pp
inspection, as they put up what is termed firsts and
seconds, No. 1 and 2 common ; the No. 2 common is
sometimes called shipping culls. Their term of mill |
run, culls out, would therefore be firsts and seconds and — 4
No. 1 common. Ifa Canadian hardwood man were
interpreting this he would style it common and better,
which would mean mill culls out. (2) It would alto-
gether depend as to whether the contract was made
in Canada or in the United States, as you can readily 4
see from our answer to the first question. We would
say mill run, culls out, would mean common and
better, mill culls out, (3) It has been pretty well —
answered in both the first and the second question, —
although some people might interpret it to mean mill :
culls and better, with the dead culls out. In our
opinion there should be a reconstruction of the grading
of hardwood lumber, as we consider it the greatest
farce that was ever imposed on the public. a
George Rathbone, Toronto, Ont.: (1) The lum: %
ber supplied under that heading would require to
be common and better, as it states that the quality —
is to be mill run with the culls out, and this would —
make the grade common and better when the
culls had been taken out of the product of the log. (2)
I would consider that the buyer would be entitled to a
grade of common and better, as it distinctly states that i ‘
the culls are to be taken out. (3) This question is
liable to different constructions, but as far as my ex-
perience goes, all the lumber I have purchased under 3

distinctly stated, that the culls would be out, and I have
found very little difficulty with the inspection of lumber _
upon orders given in that way. The American inspec-
tion, as adopted by the National Hardwood Association, —
is better defined than our supposed Canadian inmspec-
tion, and ‘log run” comprises four grades in hard-
woods, firsts and seconds, common and culls, withthe
mill culls out, the mill culls being classed in a separate
grade. In my opinion steps should be taken by our
Canadian hardwood lumber manufacturers to form an
association similar to the American one, and adopt a
proper code of inspection rules that would be suitable
to the trade. At the present time we really have no
standard inspection, but each mill man makes his own
grade, and in a great many cases the grades are very
unreliable. As hardwoods are coming into use exten-~-
sively it would be an advantage to manufacturers and
consumers if we had a_ better pyeteg: of grading our

The Knechtel Furniture Co., Hagiover, Ont.: The term
* mill run with mill culls out ” is generally applied to a log
run, and it should be called “‘log run,” not “mill run.” A_
log run includes the following grades: No’s. 1 and 2, No.
I common, No. 2 common, or’shipping cull, and all of the
better grades must be included. It would seem to be neces- _
sary that an intelligent buyer should see the logs before they
are sawn in order to determine the price according to the
quality. If, however, that is neglected, the buyer canhave
no redress as against an unduly large propertion 1 of common

a different thing. It includes practically everything (no —
matter how bad) a saw mill man may see fit to pileup. He
is under this term not even bound to put the whole of the
upper grades into this run. 4‘‘ Mill cull” means a piece of
lumber spoiled in“the milling, or all mis-sawn lumber.

‘common grade. (3) I think under this clause a con-
tract drawn in this way and mutually agreed to by
seller and buyer would compel the buyer to take
everything the log produced except the heart. Con-
tracts should be drawn in this way, ‘‘ mill run, hearts
and dead culls out.’’ This would only throw out such
lumber in hardweod as would not be worth the freight
to the buyer. Contracts are often made to read ‘‘mill
run, mill culls out.” Mill culls are boards in hardwood
which, while valueless for manufacturing purposes, are
ofien used for rough planking or boarding up ; the
next grade would be called shipping culls, out of
which grade manufacturers of furniture could cut many
small clean pieces suitable to their trade. To avoid
legal quibbles and chances for dishonesty in inspection
all contracts should be worded as outlined above.
Some time ago I was called as a witness in a lumber
suit re. Stinson vs. Purdy. Stinson made a contract
with Purdy for 200 M teet, the contract read ‘‘mill
run.” When he went to ship it he was throwing out
all the mill culls ; Purdy stopped him saying that he
sold ittohim mill run. Stinson brought suit to re-
cover damages. He brought many witnesses who
meant mill culls
out. I wascalled for the defendant and explained
that we always specified in our contracts ‘‘mill run,

dead culls out,” or if we bought it “mill run, mill culls
out,” it was so specified. Judge Morgan after reserv-
ing decision decided the case in favor of the defendant
“Purdy.”

The opinion of the CanapA LUMBERMAN is
that the term ‘‘mill run, culls out ” would
imply common and better, and “‘mill run” the
entire product of the log excepting dead culls,
which are considered to be retuse and not
marketable Jumber.

It was a
most successful and important meeting, about 300
members being present from all parts of the Dominion.
The report of the secretary showed that the membership

had grown from 132 in 1899 to 1,272 in 1903, and for

as the first time in several years a surplus of receipts

The Association adopted resolutions demanding an
immediate and thorough revision of the tariff upon lines
which will more effectually transfer to the workshops of

The ‘‘ Alex. Fraser,’’ one of the finest steamers of

THE CANADIAN CASUALTY & BOILER
INSURANCE COMPANY.

This company, as its name implies, has been founded
for the purpose of a general accident business as well
as boiler insurance and inspection, and has in the short
time of its existence already established itself well in the
insurance world. This is scarcely to be wondered at in
view of the fact that the directors of the company have
spared no endeavors to make the staff of the company
a thoroughly competent and efficient one. The manag-
ing director, Mr. A. G. C. Dinnick, himself a man of
great business experience and ability, hasa special
gift of choosing good men for the various departments
of his institution. The chief engineer of the company,
Mr. A. M. Wickens, is a gentleman without a peer in
his profession. Until recently he held the position of
chief engineer of the Public Works Department of the
Ontario Government, as well as Inspector of Boilers in
the Government Institutions. He resigned this position
in order to accept the appointment offered to him by
the Canadian Casualty & Boiler Insurance Company as
their chief engineer. With an expert like Mr. Wickens
at the head of the engineer's department it is safe to
say that the interests of the insurers will be well looked
after, as everybody knows how important is periodical
inspection by a competent and experienced engineer.
As an engineer erecting and operating steam plants,
Mr. Wickens brings expert practical knowledge to
bear upon his deliberations as chief of the engineer's
department of the Canadian Casualty & Boiler Insur-
ance Company.

The efficiency of the engineer's department enables
this company to extend its operations ina way few

other companies can follow. The company is ina posi
tion to give expert advice upon the erection of any kind
of steam or electrical plants, a feature which interested
parties will presumably be quick to take advantage of.

The public have been quick to recognize the advant-
ages offered to them by this company, and the ainount
of policies already written is the best proof of this con-
tention. With the energetic management and the
practical knowledge combined, the Canadian Casualty
& Boiler Insurance Company is sure to take a leading
place in its class of business.

The value to steam users, lumber, planing and saw
mills, of The Canadian Casualty & Boiler Insurance
Company, cannot be over-estimated. Their zervices
are in demand, and we are given to understand from
the managing director that many unsolicited letters
are being received at the head office, appreciating the _
satisfactory methods adopted in the desire of this cor-
poration to make their services effective and of prac-
tical value to steam users. In many instances Savings
have been effected in fuel consumption which insurers
have acknowledged have been more than sufficient to
pay for the small premium charged for boiler insurance
for the full term of the policy.

Such service as this is being looked upon with in-
creasing favor, and the courteous readiness of the
management in promptly attending to all matters in
connection with steam plants under the company’s
vare, cannot help but increase the already large
clientele which this company enjoys.

In one case brought to our representative's notice, a
saving of one month's fuel paid for a three years’
policy.

The Canadian Casualty & Boiler Insurance Company
do not under any circumstances make suggestions
which occasion steam users unnecessary expense; such
minor suggestions as are at all times economically
beneficial are in many cases carried out at the com-
pany’s instance,

THE NEW TRANS-CONTINENTAL RAILWAY.

Political prejudice has been responsible for
many of the opinions offered respecting the
proposed trams-continental railway project for
Canada. So far has this been the case, ap-
parently, that the public have refused to accept
the statements of even the most unbiased and
independent person. That we need greater
transportation facilities for the Dominion, and
particularly for the west, is certain, but it is a
question whether the building of a new road
across the entire continent is warranted, at
least at the present time.

. The proposed road will extend from Moncton
to Port Simpson and will be 3,300 miles long.
From Moncton to Winnipeg the distance is es-
timated at 1,800 miles, and trom Winnipeg to
Port Simpson, on the Pacific Ocean, 1,500
miles. The eastern section from Moncton to
Winnipeg will be built by the Government and
leased to the Grand Trunk Pacific for a period
of fifty years. From Winnipeg to the Pacific
Ocean the road will be constructed by the
Grand Trunk Pacific within seven years.
The Government will guarantee 75 per cent. of
the cost of construction up toa maximum of
$13,000 per mile on the prairie division between
Winnipeg and Edmonton, and $30,000 per
mile for the mountain division between Edmon-

_ ton and the Pacific Ocean.

It has been contended that in the northern
part of Ontario and Quebec the road will pass
through a desert section, but this is scarcely
correct, for the greater portion of the route in
these provinces will open up for the first time
vast timber areas. Mr.

Thomas Mackay,

M.P. for North Renfrew, than whom there is
no better authority on the timber resources of
the Ottawa valley, states that there is sufficient
timber to keep the railway supplied with freight

for ten years. It is probable, therefore, that
the building of the road will stimulate the lum-
ber industry and that many saw mills will be
established along the route. ;

SAFEGUARD YOUR PROPERTY.

The lumbermen of Canada have for some
time past been protesting against high insur-
ance rates. The underwriters have gradually
increased their premiums until the charge has
become very burdensome, and now steps are to
be taken, at least in Ontario, to endeavor to
obtain insurance at more reasonable and equit-
able rates. This is proposed to be done by the
incorporation of a company composed chiefly of

-lumbermen, which will accept risks on lumber

and lumber property exclusively. The progress
already made gives assurance ot success, and
judging by the experience of similar companies
in the United States, whose announcements
regularly appear in this paper, it should result
in a considerable reduction in the premium
rate.

This co-operative plan of insurance will en-
courage lumbermen to perfect means of effec-
tively protecting their property from fire. No
doubt carelessness and lack of necessary pre-
cautions have been responsible for many fires
in the past, this disposition, perhaps, being
engendered by the knowledge of the fact- that
any possible loss would be covered by the in-
surance. Co-insurance creates an incentive to
reduce the fire hazard to the minimum.

A saw mill is naturally a place where inflam-
mable debris will accumulate very quickly and
be a great source of danger. It follows, there-
fore, that proper attention should be given by
the mill man to cleanliness, which is next in
importance to providing adequate fire-pro-
tective appliances. Another necessary pre-
caution is to remove the lumber piles a sufficient
distance from the mill.

UTILIZATION OF HEMLOCK BARK.

A recent request froma British Columbia
lumberman for advice concerning the possi-
bility of profitably utilizing the hemlock - bark
accruing from his lumbering operations sug-
gests the large quantity of this material that is
now wasted for lack of a market. Consider-
ing the vast amount of hemlock timber which
is cut annually throughout the Dominion, and
the fact that hemlock bark is the most gener-
ally used material for tanning purposes, it
should be possible not only to produce all the
tannic acid required by the tanners of this
country, but also to build up a considerable
export business in this article. At the present
time a considerable quantity of tannic acid, ex-
tracted from oak, hemlock and other timber,
is imported from the United States.

The present method of hauling the bark to
the local tanneries to undergo the necessary
treatment for extraction of the acid is a costly
undertaking, and if the tanning ingredients
could be separated from the bark at the source
of supply a large saving in the cost of trans-
portation would be effected. To our know-
ledge no tanner or lumbermaa in this country
has established a plant solely for the purpose
of producing the hemlock extract, but it would

seem that an enterprise of this kind might be -

portable power, a bark cutter or grinder and

_pensive, and when prices are good outsiders _

profitable. In the United States nae pa -
manent extract plants have been established
which make tannin and dyewood extracts
from materials gathered from all parts of the
world. Something less pretentious would be
required in this country.

For suggestions we must look to Germany.
In that country there have been established a _
number of small plants, consisting of a cheap —

wooden extraction vats, set up near the source
of supply. These make a fairly concentrated
extract. E 3
Mr. J. A. DeCew describes the process of
manufacture as follows: After the bark is —
peeled it should be treated as soon as possible | a
and consumed the same year. It may be cut
into fine shavings by being fed from the end
against a serious of revolving knives, and as ,
each shaving is a thin transverse section of the
bark cells the tannin is extracted without diffi- |
culty. It is now placed i in a series of ten ‘wood- —
en tanks, which are arranged i ina circle, the |
bottom of each being connected by a pipe tee
the top of the other. Steam from the boiler is _
now turned into No. 1 and passes through — a
each in turn, until it is drawn off from No. 10)
as a quite concentrated extract. A number a
of these vats are employed because the extrac .
tion of the tannin depends upon the laws of
diffusion. Thus, in boiling water, the tannin “A
will leave the bark and become diffused - 7
throughout the solvent until equilibrium is pee 2
tablished. Ifthe solution is now removed and
more solvent added the tannin remainiog in
the bark will become diffused, forming a weak- |
er solution, and if this process is continued all
of the tannin will be finally extracted. There-
fore, if hot water is passed successively through __
ten vats, in which the bark of No. 2is richer
than No. 1, and No. 3 richer than No. 2, etc.,
it is evident that the solution must become
continually stronger as it passes through each —
in turn, and when discharged from No. 10 isa
quite concentrated extract... When the Sore 5g
in tank No. 1 is exhausted it is Fefilled and
then becomes No. 1o. é ee
It is evident from the above that the extrac- An i
tion of tanning material is not an elaborate 4
process. The possibilities in the development |
of the industry should appeal to lumbermen, ©
as it could be carried on in harmony with lum-—
bering operations. A merchantable fanning
extract may be obtained from oak, a and
birch as well as hemlock. a

It is the intention of Scott Bros., who recently pur-

THE GOODYEAR PATENT LOAD BINDER.

‘Just like father did” has been the manner
of binding loads to wagons ever since that
useful vehicle was invented. Time with our
fathers seemed to be no object. It wasa tug
and a pull ; cut and try ; and cuss words—as
numerous as the sands of the sea or the stars
in the heavens.

Many accidents like this finally did set one
fellow to thinking and he conceived the idea
of using a piece of gas pipe about three feet
long to twist up the chain like an improvised
tourniquet. The only reason this method has
not killed and maimed as many people as the
old pole of our grandfathers is because it has
not been in use so long.

The use of these crude instruments, making
teaming almost as dangerous as going to war,
induced a~blacksmith to do some thinking.
He had the skill to perfect with his hands
what his brain conceived, and the result was
the Goodyear patent load binder.

Thousands ot these have been sold and they
are in use in nearly every part of the United
States, in Canada and Australia. Not only
are they used to bind loads of logs, but lum-
ber, pipe, poles, hay, straw and almost every
conceivable thing is securely fastened with
this handy device.

It binds by simply taking up the slack in
the chain after the latter has encircled the

out, it may be drawn as tightly as desired,
having ample strength to break the chain.
The strength required to close the lever to
bind an ordinary load is so little that a small
boy can easily close it. A large load, or one
requiring to be bound extra tight, requires
more power, but always within the limit of a
teamster.

The binder fits any chain from one-fourth
to eleven-sixteenths of an inch. The amount
of slack that can be taken up can be varied
from nothing to atout five inches, and the
latter amount is enough to bind any load.
With lumber or logs three inches is sufficient.
The time required to apply it is practically
nothing, only a few seconds being necessary
to secure any load.

With any manner of binding, a load often
works loose on a long or rough haul, and here
is where the Goodyear load binder is particu-
larly a great time saver, because a link or two
can be taken up and the team started before
the pole or bar of iron could have been
loosened.

Returning with empty wagon, the binder
may be attached to the chain—which is
usually wrapped around the bolsters, and a
little slack taken up, insuring not only its
safe return, but preventing the chain from
working loose and becoming lost.

THE TORONTO EXHIBITION.

The recent Dominion Exhibition held in
Toronto under the auspices of the Industrial
Exhibition Association was very successful
from the standpoint both of attendance and
character of exhibits. An attendance exceed-
ing half a million persons is indeed a splendid
record and must be a source of encouragement
to the management. The new buildings are
attractive in appearance, of massive construc-
tion, and well adapted to the purposes for
which the are intended.

Speaking for the lumber trade, it is to be
regretted that there was not a more exten-
sive display of saw milling and woodworking

_ machinery and appliances which would interest
and instruct the mill man. Many of our largest
manufacturers were not numbered among the
exhibitors. It might be suggested that the

_ directors endeavor to devise some means of
securing for future exhibitions a greater repre-
sentation of manufacturers from all parts of the
Dominion.

In the Machinery Hall were found four exhibi-
tors of belting.

D. K. McLaren, of Montreal and Toronto,
showed English oak-tanned leather belting,
balata and rubber belting, as well as card cloth,
cotton mill supplies and belt hooks.

The Dominion Belting Company, Hamilton,
have been in business but a short time, but their
display indicated that they are strong compet-
itors for the belting trade. They showed the
‘‘Maple Leaf” brand of stitched cotton duck
belting, also ‘‘ Maple Leaf ” belt dressing,

* claimed to add materially to the life and efficien-
cy of a belt.

Several pyramids of oak-tanned leather belt-
ing were shown by the J. C. McLaren Belting
Company, of Montrealand Toronto. This firm
have been making leather belts for forty-seven
years, and manufacture only high grade Eng-

lish oak-tanned stock.

A large Goldie & McCulloch engine operat-
ing the shafting on the north side of the hall
was driven by a 20 inch 3-ply belt manufactured
by Sadler & Haworth, of Montreal and Tor-
onto.

The Hart Corundum Wheel Company, of |

Hamilton,successors to the Hart Emery Wheel
Company, had an attractive exhibit of corun-
dum and emery grinding wheels, planer and
paper knife grinders, saw filers and gummers,
and machinery for .corundum grinding and
polishing. They showeda new machine for
grinding saws of all kinds but partic-
ularly adapted for circular saws, claimed to be
the only automatic cross-cut filer ever shown
at Toronto Exhibition. The Craig Mine cry-

stal corundum wheels and the specimens of
crude ore and grain corundums attracted much
attention. In addition they showed a new line
of heavy grinders for metal work.

The Goldie & McCulloch Company, of Galt,
had their usual exhibit of engines and iron and
wood-working machinery, including a double
surface planer and matcher weighing 11,000
pounds. This machine was fitted with the
patented Philbrick matcher heads. Adjoining it
stood a four-sided moulder, a power feed cutoff
saw and one No. 18 and one No. g planer.
‘*Tdeal” engines
operated the shafting on the south side of the
building, anda ‘‘Wheelock” engine operated
that on the north side.

The exhibit of the A. R. Williams Machinery
Company, Toronto, comprised a number of
up-to-date wood and iron working machines
such as are manufactured by Clark & Demill
and McGregor, Gourlay & Company, of Galt,
and Major Harper & Son,of Whitby. The lat-
ter firm manufacture the ‘‘ Eclipse” planer and
matcher, a large number of which are in use
in all parts of Canada. It is especially adapted
for cutting small stuff, its construction and
operation being such as to produce a perfectly
square joint. Major Harper built the first
planing machine ever made in Canda. In the
A. R. Williams exhibit was also shown a
number of circular saws from the factory of
the well known firm of the E. R. Burns Saw
Company, Toronto.

A large band saw attracted attention to the
exhibit of the Bradley, Levy & Weston Machin-
ery Company, Toronto, who are dealers in iron
and wood-working machinery, engines, boilers
etc. They had also on view mandrils, planers,
Crown valves, and an automatic smoke preven-
ter. They handle the ‘‘George” lumber regis-
ters and the Crowell saw swages.

In the Agricultural Hall were to be seen
several wagons from the factory of the Milner
Petrolea Wagon Company, of Petrolea, Ont.
This firm make a specialty of heavy lumber

wagons, sawdust wagons and log trucks, their -

trade in this line having increased very rap-
idly within the past year. The Adams Wagon
Company, of Brantford, and the Chatham Man-
ufacturing Company, of Chatham, Ont., also
exhibited wagons and trucks.

The Queen City Oil Company, of Toronto,
had an exhibit in the Manufacturers’ Building
which was much admired, every product shown
being made from crude petroleum. Of great
interest to visitors was the Genealogical Tree
of Products, the process of manufacture being
illustrated by samples of crude oil and compar-
ative quantities of the different products during
the process.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS. |
ONTARIO.

The lumber business has felt the im-
petus of fine
closes with a very satisfactory volume of
trade to its credit. The incoming month
is expected to develop arm increase in re-
tail orders, as many yards are thought to
be carrying light stocks. While higher

prices for lumber are not anticipated, the

opinion is becoming more general that

there is not likely to be any material de- |

cline.

but it is difficult to point to one manufac-
turer who is shading quotations. One of
the strongest factors in the situation is the
very light stock of unsold lumber in the
mill yards. Even a moderate demand
during the next six months will leave the

supply of dry stock comparatively limited, —

and the mills will resume operations next
spring under favorable conditions. Build-
ing operations throughout the province
are active for this season of the year.
The number of permits taken out in the
city of Toronto this fall would almost in-
dicate a boom, but it is safe to say that,
with favorable labor conditions, the activ--
ity next year will be no less pronounced.
The demand for houses

required by the prospective purchaser, a

some districts the report is heard that
prices are a trifle easier and the demand
none too brisk.

mills in Quebec and New Brunswick will
be compelled to shut down at an early
date on account of log shortage, and as
the bulk of the lumber manufactured this
season has already been placed under con-
tract there is little danger of a decline in
prices. The New York market is taking
large quantities of lumber and lath. The
high price of $14.50 per thousand was
recently paid for medium-sized spruce logs.
This figure will compel the manufacturer
to obtain a fancy price for his lumber in
order to make a profit on the transaction.
The manufacturers of pulp have this year
been keen competitors in the log market
and have no doubt been responsible for
forcing prices to a higher basis than seems
actually warranted by the demand for
either pulp or lumber.

There is a little more life to the shingle
market, but prices are not improved. Very
few sales of extras for Boston delivery
have been madeat $3.50, and it is probably
within the mark to say that the range of
sales is from $3.35 to $3.45.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The lumber situation in Manitoba and
the Territories is said to be a little easier.
The United States manufacturers have re-
sorted to price-cutting, which has un-
settled the market. The demand, how-
ever, shows no falling off, but is expected
to expand during the next month. The
British Columbia mills are experiencing
an active local trade, building operations
in Vancouver and Victoria being on a
large scale. Shingles are still a drug on
the market. At a meeting of the manufac-
turers held last week it was decided to
again commence sawing shingles for the
The shut-down has
relieved the situation to some extent, but

- the over-production is still apparent.

During the month of August 177 timber
licenses were issued by the British Colum-

Eastern States the demand for boxes is as
great as ever known in the past. The
scarcity of box lumber has become acute
and has done a great deal towards
strengthening the entire list. The fact
that the Standard Oil Company have
recently bought box lumber quite heavily

poration do not anticipate lower prices in
the near future. Norway pine is also

cases resorted to the policy of shading
prices in order to close sales. For inch
No. 1 cuts the price at Buffalo is about
$40. The hemlock market is steady at
about the prices that have ruled for the
past month. The hardwood industry is in
a most satisfactory condition. Opinions
seem to favor a brisk demand throughout
the fall and winter months. It is pre-
dicted that before spring the price of oak
will.have advanced $5 per thousand, not-
withstanding that for some time past
almost incredible prices have been
received for quarter-sawed stock. Maple,
basswood and elm are among the best
sellers of the lower-priced woods.

GREAT BRITAIN,

So many conflicting opinions are ex-
pressed regarding the British lumber
market that it. is most difficult to arrive
at a conclusion as to the existing con-
ditions and future course of prices.
Representatives of shippers do not appear
to be offering stock at any concession,
while importers show little willingness to
buy on account of the disparity which
exists between the prices asked by shippers
and those which can be obtained from
dealers and consumers. Baltic deals are
said to be somewhat lower in price, and it
would probably be a mistake to become
too sanguine as to the maintenance of
present prices. Should consignmen;
cargoes arrive this fall in any quantity the
effect upon values might be serious. The
building trade is accountable in a large
measure for the present accumulation of
stock in the hands of dealers, unfavorable
weather having greatly interfered with
outdoor work. Third and fourth quality
pine deals are reported to be slightly
easier, but the better qualities continue
firm. The quantity of spruce deals arriv-
ing at the British ports is comparatively
small, which has done much to sustain the
market. A cargo was recently sold for
delivery on the west coast of England ata
price which is described as an exceedingly
good one.

Sellers are already sounding the market
in respect to next year’s prices, although
mo contracts are likely to be closed until
the financial situation becomes improved,
unless, of course, shippers should make

The last circular of Messrs. Churchill &
Sim, London, England, says: ‘‘The im-
portation of both pine and spruce deals
has been most moderate, and this has
checked the tendency to weakness which
was observable in this market in July. For
pine there may be said to be no appreci-
able change in quotations during the
month, but for spruce there has been
some recovery in the demand, and prices
have moved a point inadvance. For all
Canadian hardwoods and for white pine
timber the London market has been
almost at a stand-still, and prices have
sagged accordingly.

is more disposition to scrutinize sched-

difficult to fill. Logs on the Kennebec
river are now selling at $14.50 per 1000
feet for medium size spruce, in the booms,
which is said to be the highest price ever
paid on that river, although the hig spruce

at Bangor lately. Here the quotations on

SHIPPING MATTERS.

The steamer Laura has been fixed to
lead deals at Halifax, N. S., for the west
coast of England at 35 shillings, and the
schooner Canada has been chartered to
carry lumber from St. John to Grenada.
The steamer Ida sailed from Halifax last
week for Cardiff, with deals.

The announcement comes from Mon-
treal that the Canadian Railways will on
October 1st make an advance of 20 cents
per thousand feet on seasoned soft wood
lumber destined for New York by rail
and water over the barge route on the
Hudson river.

There has been a rise in freight rates
during the past month. The demand for
vessels does not seem to have increased
but owners are evidently greatly dissatis-
fied with the returns which have been re-
ceived during the past season, and it is
not improbable that a further advance in
rates will take place.

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN

HOO-HOO ANNUAL.

At the ninth second of the ninth minute of
the ninth hour of the ninth day of the ninth
month of the year A.D. 1903, in the city of
Buffalo, the twelfth annual Hoo-Hoo concatena-
tion was declared open. The members of the
local committees had distinguished themselves
in providing for the entertainment of the Hoo-
Hoo brethren, and the fine weather which
Nature provided left nothing more to be hoped
for. The large club room of the Genesee Hotel
was taxed to its utmost to accommodate the
large number present. Addresses were delivered
by members of the city council warmly wel-
coming th» visitors.

The Snark of the Universe, W.H. Norris, in
his annual report, made several important
recommendations for the benefit of the Order,
one of which was the appointment of another
salaried officer to devote his time to travelling
about the country and aiding vice-gerents in
their work.

Some interesting facts were brought out by
the report of the scrivenotor. There had been

held during the year 109 concatenations, with
an aggregate enrollment of 1721 regular, one
honorary and eight life members. A statement
of initiates for each year in the Order’s history
showed that in 1892 fifteen members were
initiated, and in 1902 1,131 members. There
had been very few resignations and compara-
tively few members expelled, the total member-
ship at the present time being approximately
8,400.

The next annual will be held in the World’s
Fair City of St. Louis. An invitation for 1905
was received from Portland, Oregon.

Three candidates were placed in nomination
for the office of Snark of the Universe, Edward
M. Vietmeier, of Pittsburg, being elected on
the first ballot. The other officers chosen were:
Senior Hoo-Hoo, Frank N. Snell, Milwaukee,
Wis. ; Junior Hoo-Hoo, John S. Bonner,
Houston, Tex. ; Bojum, Charles D. Rourke,
Petersburg, Ill.; Scrivenoter, James H. Baird,

CONCATENATION AT TORONTO.

The Toronto Hoo-Hso lay dormant since
August 7th. It was planned to arouse
him for a few manoeuvres in the ‘‘Onion Bed,”
and the date of August 28th was named.
Difficulties arose about getting Toronto Hoo-
Hoo and candidates together, so the proposed
concatenation was deferred, and the Great
Black Cat slumbered on.

Saturday evening an awful caterwaul went
up from the Toronto Hoo-Hoo. At 9.09
o’clock the ‘‘ Onion Bed”? bloomed in sudden
and. fascinating -fragrance. Six candidates
were coralled, and the ‘‘ Gardens ” were shown
to them. They breathed heavily into the
‘‘ Lungtester,” and labored well in convincing
the doubting Snark of their fitness to walk in
the ‘‘ Light”? — pressed lips burning with
promises to the Great Book there unsealed to
their adoring gaze, and later discussed it all
over a collation which satisfied the inner man.

The officers : H. P. Hubbard, Snark; S. R.

THE EXPORT LUMBER TRADE OF
BRITISH COLUMBIA.

At the annual meeting of the Pacific Coast
Lumber Manufacturers’ Association, held at
Tacoma, Wash., on August 22nd, an interest-
ing address was delivered by Mr. R. H.
Alexander, of Vancouver, B.C., who reviewed
in an able manner the conditions governing the
lumber trade of British Columbia. Mr.
Alexander’s remarks were as follows :

‘When we get together we realize that
there are troubles other than our own and I
think the mere fact that the other fellow—who
has been selling our customer lumber—has
troubles of his own, in some subtle manner
reconciles us to ours.

‘‘When the formation of the Pacific Lumber
Manufacturers’ Association was first proposed
I was not very much impressed with it, as I did
not see in exactly what way we would be in-
terested. Since its organization, however, |
have been enlightened. In the first place we
have our indefatigable secretary, Mr. Beckman,
and all of our members know how he has
helped us by compiling statistics and getting
up price lists and furnishing us with informa-
tion that we could get in no other way. It
was only a short time after our organization
that it appeared to several of us on the coast
that through this association work could be
done and something accomplished that had not
been accomplished in all the years that we had
heretofore been at work. Scheme after scheme
had been tried with reference to the cargo
business and after a very short time every one
of them collapsed. It was only after the
formation of this association at Seattle that
some means could be devised to get the export
mills into line and get them into the associa-
tion, as well as those mills catering to the local

and rail trade, but that has been done and has

worked well, and while all these other schemes
which generally originated with what had
tormerly been the headquarters of the export
trade failed,
ago by the founders of this association has

proved a success—not only in the foreign trade,
but I think the same can be said with reference
to the local and rail trade, though perhaps the
improvements have not been so marked.

‘‘ Before the association was formed every-
one was working in a haphazard manner.
Now, since the manufacturers have changed
their views, wonderful changes have been made.

wonderful

The price list we
have is the result of a tremendous amount of
work on the part of those who have been

instrumental in making it, and we now have
something like a rational price on our product.

«« At the commencement of the year we took
‘up the department of inspection referred to, and

I am glad to say as one of the committee that
it has met so far with gratifying results. Now,
when a purchaser has been in the habit of buy-
ing a cargo and being able to grade it when it
arrived, the man who sells it is going to have
very little chance. At the same time the pur-
chaser is not going to give up his former
privilege in this matter without a struggle, and
in consequence we must expect that there is
going to be a certain amount of kicking before
he takes the inspection of some one else, where
before he had the whole say himself. So far,
we have met with success. There have been
fewer complaints with reference to the grade
of lumber than there were formerly, and if there
is a complaint you know that there must be
something very queer about it, and it gives the
mill shipping the lumber a chance to examine
into the matter carefully.

‘‘T trust that our inspection system will
grow to the dimensions of that of the Yellow
Pine Association, and I think by persistent

‘ effort we can make our inspection the standard.

Work that has been done has shown the
wonderful progress that has been made along
these lines, and we are now inspecting practic-
ally all of our cargo business and our inspec-
tion is being recognized in most of the markets
to which we ship.

‘« Referring to the statistics which were read
by Mr. Griggs and prepared by Mr. Ames,
there was one part that appealed to me
especially and which was decidedly true, I am
sorry to confess, and that was, that he could
not get reliable information about the ship-
ments. The trouble in British Columbia is
that we are so far apart, some on the coast and
some on the mountains. There is very little
intercourse between the two and it is hard to
get information that can be depended upon.
As far as we can make out we have an annual
capacity in British Columbia somewhere be-
tween 525,000,000 and 550,000,000 feet, and
yet our shipments show only 275,000,000 to
300,000,000 feet. You see, therefore, there is
much unused capacity there and the problem is
what to do with the capacity. If hard times
come, and there is a question that prices are
not going to be so good as lately, I think the
members of this association should recognize
their friends and not bring the association into
disrepute and possibly cause a great falling off
in the price and make it difficult to get good
prices. We certainly have to face the question
that the mere fact of selling a little below the
price will not increase the total consumption,
and it merely means that A is taking such
means to secure some of the business that was
being done by B, and when B finds it out he
puts his price below that laid by C, and C
comes back at A and so it goes on and no one
is the better for it.

‘‘] think the manufacturers on the Pacific
coast do not realize now that there is a value
in standing timber which a few years ago was
not thought of. The only question a short
time ago was to manufacture as fast as you
could get it into timber and you were all right.
The manufacturers are now getting the capacity
so far ahead of the consumption that the con-
sumers are unable to take what is offered, and
the thing to do is to curtail the output and wait

b ag Ral ee,

until the markets revive. There is no sense in
giving away the wealth of our timber or in —
cutting it up and selling it and not making any
money. If we can enlarge our territory by
getting lower rates from the railroad so we can
increase the consumption in that way, or if we
can get lower rates on the common classes of
lumber produced on this coast and can market
it in localities from which we are excluded at
present, I do not think there is any need for a
decreased production. The great difficulty is
that the heavy demand to the east of us is for
the higher grades of lumber. We all know
that we manufacture a good deal more of the
common than we do of the higher grades and

the problem is being continually forced upon us eS,

as to what will become of the rough lumber.

‘‘ The foreign business is restricted. It is
true that it has increased but it has not kept
pace with the increased capacity of the mills.
In some countries you will find a gratifying in-
crease in the records for this year, but if you
lovk back you will find that the same country
for the year before and probably two years”
before has taken very little from us and the
increase for the one year is simply taking
what they did not buy before. In Australia,
which is one of our heaviest customers, the
trade fell off something like 40 per cent. during
last year. Of course that was on account of
the hard times and next year Australia can show
a gratifying increase ; but it is not an increase
on the whole, but merely evening up the trade
with that country. Our great distance from
many of the markets operates against us and it
is difficult to send our lumber to those markets
in time to satisfy the requirements of the
dealers. They can get it from much nearer
sources and they do not care to wait six months
or a year for us to fill their orders. Our
business has developed and our markets have
broadened, but it has been a slow development
and in the meantime the mills are increasing
their capacity and there must be an outlet for
their product. ;

‘‘In reference to this I would like to say
that I think there should be some respect
shown for each other’s territory. We are
meeting severe competition from mills in this
state that are sending lumber into Manitoba.
The difficulty with us is the same as that with —
the mills located here. We have more cem-
mon lumber than we can readily sell, and if you
do send your lumber up there, we are both
members of the same association, and I think
we should respect each other’s locality.

‘‘ They can take their share of it, but ifthey a;

do, they should sell it on the same terms and

at the same price that it issold by the Canadian

lumbermen.
‘‘I am sorry that I cannot give you better
statistics and more information in regard to the |

output of British Columbia mills, because it is _ a

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN : ¥

‘A TRIP TO THE MARITIME PROVINCES.
< {By OuR TRAVELLING REPRESENTATIVE. |

No person in Ontario can get a conception of the
vast extent- of our Dominion unless he makes two
journeys. To go either to the Pacific coast or to the
Atlantic coast is locked upon as quite a trip.

When I packed my grips at Toronto in August I had
a run of 1175 miles to reach Halifax via the Inter-
But the actual fact was that I put in nearly
two thousand miles of travel, with side journeys, before
I reached the sea.

The trip from Toronto to Quebec was uneventful. At
the Ancient Capital I had the pleasure of meeting several
of the best known lumbermen, amongst whom were
Dobell, Beckett & Company, Goodday & Company,
Carbray, Routh & Company, Sharples & Company,
Calvin Company, the McArthur*Export Company, and
J. J. Murphy. Other offices at which I called showed
that many had not returned from their summer holiday.
The timber industry is a real live one at Quebec.
Whilst not so many ships loading as in former years,
there is a steady demand and a steady export.

Whilst at the Capital I had the pleasure of visiting the

British cruiser ‘‘Ariadne,” the Germancrviser ‘‘Gazelle,”
and the French man-of-war “‘ Tage.”

These warships
carried considerable quantities of lumber and timber for
their own use. I noticed it was nearly all South
American teak or British oak.

At Bathurst, on the Baie des Chaleurs, I found over
one hundred men thrown out of employment by the
collapse of the foundation under the engine in Sumner’s
big saw mill. The foundation sinking caused the
accident which closed the mill for a week or more.

A pleasant run brought me to Newcastle, on the
All the saw mills were running full
blast and a big cut is promised for this season.

Considerable talk was going on at this point over the
bie deals made by American capitalists. Mr. E. H.
Sinclair, representing ihe late Edward Sinclair, is re-
ported to have disposed of the Sinclair limits in
Northumberland county, along with all the mills, tow
boats and plant, for a sum of $400,000. The Sinclair

- properly covers over 150,000 acres, with large lumber

privileges. The Americans propose to increase the
output of deals and improve the plant.

I was informed that a considerable quantity of logs
was slill ‘‘hung up” on the upper reaches of the
Miramichi.

Chatham, N.B., appears to be dead as. regards
The pulp mill has
closed down, but the one across the river is running.
The town possesses a very progressive firm in the
Ruddock Bros., proprietors of the Miramichi Foundry,
manufacturers of saw mill machinery. Their specialty
is a compound saw edger. Their 4-saw edger is used
very extensively in the Maritime piovinces, and, in fact,
exclusively in many mills. The ease with which saws
are changed, the freedom from getting out of gear and

_ the ease of running the machine, are features that

commend themselves to those who desire the best that
the market affords. Taking a walk through the ex-
tensive works of this company I saw a busy scene, and
I predict for the new company just being tormed a suc-
cessful career in the line of manufacturing mill

_ machinery.

_ At Richibucto J. & T. Jardine’s new band saw mill
was nearly completed and they expected to have it in
operation by the 15th of September. This mill is much
larger and better than the one destroyed by fire last

fall. The latest improved machinery installed makes it

one of the finest mills in the province.

_ The Miramichi river and valley has always been a
“great lumber centre, and there is talk of a deal being
arranged with capitalists to take over the mills and

7 lumber lands of the Richards Company at Boiestown,

‘Campbellton and Chatham. There is, however, talk of
contesting the will of the late Wm. Richards ard this
will set back the negotiations, it is feared.

_ At Moncton, the Intercolonial workshops use up an
immense quantity of lumber each year. Moncton is
getting quite a bustling town, the chief attraction for

a ‘ visitors being the phenomena of a tidal wave, coming in

twice a day from the Bay of Fundy, and locally called
“the bore.” ~ As [ stood on the quay and watched this
_ wonderful sight I could well understand why tourists

A run of ninety miles brought me to St. John, N.B.,
the natural winter port of Canada. Whilst there I saw
vessels chartered to carry lumber to Buenos Ayres in
South America at $7 per thousand, whilst the rate to
Bermuda was $9.

Considerable diversion of opinion exists all through
the Maritime provinces as to the advantage to be
gained by the new Grand Trunk Pacific route. Mr. T.
Lynch, the well-known lumber operator, said that if it
came by the route that was partially surveyed some
eight years ago it would run right through the field of
his lumbering operations, but he does not want the
railway through there. Unless some new plan is dis-
covered, sparks from locomotives will burn up the
forest. Another operator told me that a route through
the woods is practicable, and would work up some
traffic in lumber.

In St. John I also visited the Howe Woodworking
Company, who make a specialty of mantels and fine
interior finish; the Campbell Bros. axe factory, well and
favorably known throughout the province ; the Christie
Woodworking Company; Jas. A. Likely, timber dealer;

Mr. ALEX. GIBSON,
Lumber King of the Nashwaak, Marysville, N-B.

Emerson & Fisher, and a number of others interested
in the ‘mill trade.

The lumber and timber trade at St. John is quite
brisk, and being a seaport, naturally there is consider-
able export business done. The St. John Sulphite
Company were asking for pulp wood and under-sized
saw-logs such as batting and spiling.

There are considerable quantities of logs still “hung
up” on the Miramichi, St. John, Oromocto and
Nashwaak rivers. Seeing is believing, and I personally
saw in many places the logs on the banks—high and
dry. The ‘*‘sweepers” are waiting for a rise so they
can clear the logs off the shoals and banks.

I had the pleasure of meeting many at Fredericton
who are in close touch with Jumbering, amongst others
being Mr. R. A. Estey, the genial proprietor of the
West End Mills. His cut this season will run over five
million feet. Whilst I was there, Mr. Fred Estey left
with a large crew of men and some horses for the woods
to make preparations for the next season’s lumber cut.
Mr. Jas. H. Crockett, the obliging editor and manager
of the Fredericton Daily Gleaner, gave me much in-
formation regarding past, present and future conditions
of the New Brunswick lumber trade, upon which he is
well posted.

Mr. Geo. W. O'Neill, the manager of the J. C
Risteen Company, Limited, told me that every year
sees an increasing quantity of other lumber substituting

pine. The Risteen Company are doing a big business
in interior fittings, furniture, etc.

The well-known machinery firm of McFarlane,
Thompson & Anderson are still doing a rushing
business, being one of the best known firms among the
mill men throughout the Maritime provinces.

John Palmer & Company continue to manufacture
and supply for lumber camp use a special line of
larrigans and other footwear for which this company’s
‘“ Moose Head” brand is famous.

If St. John is on hills and tiresome travelling on foot,
Fredericton is on the ‘‘ flats” and looked very pretty in
August. Near the city is the renowned Fort Nashwaak,
the headquarters of Acadia in 1696. Oromocto was
formerly ship-building headquarters, but this industry
has to a large extent moved down and even out of the
river.

Whilst standing on the bridge at Fredericton I saw
the side-wheeler ‘‘Hero” tow under a large pine
timber raft. I counted 112 cribs, four abreast. This
timber, from the upper St. John waters, was composed
of small and large sticks, but the majority would not be

as there are several large tracts of partially burned
timber land which must be cut this year.

R. Aitken & Son, Donald Fraser & Sons, and John
Lynch have already sent up several large gangs to the
woods. Mr. Lynch had just returned from a cruising
trip on the headwaters of the Miramichi. Hesaid that

the majority of men were not-anxious to go into the -

woods so early in the year. The Aitken firm had a
large crew at the headwaters waiting for a rise of
water so they might be able to’bring out their drive
which was hung up since spring.

The Aberdeen Mills at Fredericton, under the
management of Mr. Donald Fraser, are running full
time. Mr. Murray McGuire, formerly of this mill, has
left for Portland, Oregon, to manage a mill there for
another company. Others I heard were also about to
leave for the west. Mr. David Monahan, formerly with
the Gibson Company’s saw mill at Blackville, N.B.,
has accepted the position of manager in the Rat Portage
Lumber Company’s mill at Vancouver.

Jas. M. Scott, of Dumfries, W. J. Scott, owner of the
Springhill mill, and Ald. John S. Scott, of Fredericton,
have purchased what is known as the Victoria mill
property, Fredericton, formerly owned and operated by
the firm of Hale & Murchie and more recently by John
R. McConnell, of Marysville. The propeity is a very
valuable one, comprising a large and well-equipped
saw mill, with good shipping facilities, wharves with
good depth of water, and also a siding from the C.P.R.
Besides the mill there are thirteen dwelling houses on
the property, and there is also a large and valuable
farm of 160 acres. It is understood that the price paid
for the property was considerably under $10,000. The
mill, which has been standing idle this summer, owing
to the fact that Mr. McConnell did not get his drive out
last spring, will not be operated the remainder of the
season, but will be started full blast next spring. Ail
the interests of the firm of Hale & Murchie were also
secured. The deeds of the property were filed and
possession taken on September rst.

Scott Bros. intend erecting a large rotary saw millat
Sand Cove, on the Magaguadavic Lake, which it is ex-
pected to have ready for sawing operations next spring.
Here also are good shipping facilities, as the mill is on
the line of the Canadian Pacific. This firm is going
into the lumber business on a very large scale and with
these two mills, in addition to their industry at Spring
hill, all in operation next year, they will have an im-
portant position in the lumber industry of the province.

Just outside the city of Fredericton is Marysville,
called ‘‘the Industrial Hub of the Province.” Here is
the home of the man who established the town, Mr.
Alexander Gibson, millionaire and lumberman, presi-
dent of the Alex. Gibson Lumber, Railway & Manufac-

turing Company. Heis widely known as ‘the Lumber —

King of the Nashwaak.” His ambition is to see
Marysville with a population of ten thousand before he
dies. He is the principal owner of the Canada Eastern
Railway, 132 miles in length, and has great interests

in the cotton mills of Marysville, which industry he first
started.

At St. Mary’s, in York County, N.B., is the large
factory of the McFarlane-Neill Manufacturing Company,
This company is wide-awake and progressive, having
one of the largest up-to-date plants on this continent
for the manufacture of cant-dogs, peavies, etc. The
works are beautifully situated, overlooking the St. John
river. The president of the company is Mr. Jas. S.
Neill, who has associated with him an energetic general
manager, Mr. M. A. Tweeddale. The high standing of

this company is a guarantee that their business
transactions are satisfactory. In showing me through
the extensive works the manager said that half a
million feet of the best rock maple was used in the
making of peaviés alone each year. Steam is the
motive power used to run the machinery and the fuel is
entirely shavings from the workshops. - Amongst the
new machinery recently installed in this plant I noticed
Wright's band saws, Perkins’ hot presses, Beecher &
Peck’s drop hammers, etc. All the tools are made
from the best drop forgings. On the premises is a new
dry house to hold 30,000 handles; 100,000 handles are
constantly kept in stock, being thoroughly seasoned
before veing sent out. The timber used is got within
twenty-five miles of the place. The socket for the
peavey is a patent forged steel one used exclusively by
this firm. The cast steel used is from Johnstown, Pa.
This company make peavies from 2 feet to 7 feet in
length and ship to all points in Canada, as well as to
the United States. As they have never been able to
supply the demand heretofore, the company intend to
run a whole year on the manufacture of peavies alone.
The electric light is generated by their own dynamo on
the premises. There is also an available water supply
brought from an artesian well situated on a mountaina
mile away. As a temperance man I like water and
after sampling the article here I pronounce it a par-
ticularly fine brand. For shipping facilities the com-
pany have a railway at their back and the river St. John
in the front of their premises, and, as they appear to
get the orders, they apparently lack nothing.

Up at Woodstock, N.B., near the Maine frontier, the
works of Alex.Dunbar & Sons are situated. They make
saw mill machinery of all kinds, including three sizes of
rotary saw mills, clapboard sawing machines, clap-
board planing and finishing machinery, shingle
machines, steam engines, etc. This firm is doing an
increased business, not only in the Maritime, but in the
upper provinces as well.

Back I went to St. John. Most of the mills on the
Bay of Fundy are running at full capacity, and lumber
shipments are up to the average. A feature of the
business just now is the revival of the South American
trade, for which spruce is indemand. [ should also
mention the shook trade to the Mediterranean and the
export of spool wood and deals to England.

Down at the town of St. Andrews, N.B., is situated
the headquarters of Wm. A. Holt, well known for the
excellence of his brand of shoepacks, larrigans and

moccasins. He confines himself exclusively to this line
of goods, having an up-to-date tannery and a splendid
trade with the lumbermen.

Sackville was my last point of callin N.B. Here I
found the Standard Manufacturing Company, who are
preparing to enter extensively into the supply of foot-
wear to the lumber camps and jobbing houses. This
company have bought out the J. R. Ayer Company and
have an efficient manager in Mr. Black.

At Amherst, N.S., I called on Rhodes, Curry & Co.,
who make bank and office fittings and school desks a
specialty. This company manufacture nearly all kinds
of building materials. In addition to their large stock
of native lumber they are now carrying over one million
feet of foreign lumber, including oak, walnut, ebony,
mahogany, etc. At this lively town is also situated the
Robb Engineering Company, who make the Mumford
Standard boiler. The works of this company are
extensive and the large industry has helped the town
grow considerably.

The Amherst Foundry & Heating Company have just
got into their magnificent new building and will soon be
in shape to take care of all the trade that will no doubt
come their way.

I visited the shops of Mr. George M. Doull, who em-
ploys quite a fumber of skilled workmen making
intericr decorations and office fittings.

At Springhill they tried to induce me to go down and
inspect the coal mines, 2870 feet underneath the ground.
I declined with thanks—having failed to recognize my-
self after a similar exploit down a soft coal mine‘in
Michigan.

The Cumberland Coal Company-s railway took me
down to the pretty little town of Parrsboro, on the Bay
of Fundy. Then I made a bee-line across the river to
the fine plant of the J. S. Henderson Company, Limited.
This plant consists of six buildings employing from 75
to 125 expe:c workmen, all engaged manufacturing the

celebrated Henderson larrigan. The company have
their own fire department with fire station, engine, hose
reels, etc. The company have taken good precautions
against another fire, having been burnt out last winter.
Four of the buildings are new. Inside everything is
beautifully neat and clean, even:to the appearance of
the workmen. The Maritime province is famous for its
larrigans, and Mr. James S. Henderson is now well
known as the inventor of the improved lumberman’s
larrigan. Besides being an expert tanner understand-
ing the chemical curing of hides, he has had twenty
years’ practical experience as a manufacturer of
larrigans. The J. S. Henderson Company have a
capital of $75,000—the best men in Parrsboro being at
the head of the company. They are building upa
magnificent and permanent business.

Across the Bay of Fundy, at Bridgetown, is situated
the larrigan factory of McKenzie, Crowe & Company,
who cater to the demands of the lumber camp.

A considerable part of the lumber exported from the
Maritime Provinces goes out of the Bay of Fundy.
While I was there, two Digby vessels loaded with lum.
ber in Anuapclis and started on the same day in a race
to Buenos Ayres, Argentine Republic.

At Newville, on the Parrsboro River, I noticed a
large saw mill which was burning a lot of cuttings,
slabs and shavings. These were all run on a conveyer

and taken to a stone wall on the side of a hill, over
which they were dumped onto a good sized fire. Much
of the stuff consumed here could have been sold were it
in a city, but the cheapest and quickest method to get
rid of it was by means of fire. On the very top of the
long mill building I noticed a platform running the
whole length of the roof. On this platform were large
barrels placeda few feet apart. On inquiry I learned that
it was a device intended for fire protection service, the
barrels being kept full of water.

A big deal took place at Bridgewater recently. The
Davison Lumber Company have sold to an American
syndicate their limits, mills, etc. A tramway is to be
constructed by the new company, I was told, and tim-
ber cut on a large scale. ;

In Truro there is the Condensed Milk and Canning

Company, who do an increasing trade with the lumber —

camps, particularly in the west. The company are now
putting up another plant at Huntingdon, Que., in order
to fill their western orders. '
Truro is a nice place, with broad level highways, but
not much of a lumber centre. I took the Sydney branch
of the Intercolonial here and went up to Stellarton and
New Glasgow. At uone of these points was there any-
thing new to the lumber trade. =
Logan & Company, at Shubenacadie, said the de-

mand for lumber sleds and wagons was on the wane in —
One of the sights I saw at Shubenacadie _

was four oxen hauling large sticks of timber up from
the river to loading platforms alongside the railway.
These oxen belonged to Mr. Henry A. Benjamin, a well-
known lumberman, and he said they were worth a

dozen horses for pulling large sticks of timber out of a

difficult position.

The large saw mill at Dickey’s Siding,near Stewiacke,
was running full time with a good crop of logs in the
pond. ;

It wasa glorious day as our train swung around
Bedford Basin, and took us to Halifax. Halifax is the
same old place. The citadel is there, with its entranc-
ing view of the harbor; the old town clock,erected by
Queen Victoria’s father, still indicates the correct time;
the military patrol on the streets tell you that Tommy
Atkins is ‘‘on deck ;” and the fleet of war vessels in the
harbor flying proudly the Union Jack of old England.

The steamer Viking took a gang of about forty lum-
bermen from Ship Harbor and Salmon River to the
Labrador coast. These men go to the Dickey camps
to replace men who have been there and are now re-
turning home.

While there is very little lumber shipped: direct from
Halifax, there is quite a lot coming in, principally
Southern yellow pine and pitch pine. I saw a cargo
that came in from Savannah by the steamship

A number of the Halifax lumbermen complained of
the serious effect on business caused by the harvest ex-
cursions to the North-west. The Maritime Provinces

are being drained of their strongest young men, and —

this makes the labor question a very serious one.
Rhodes-Curry works at Amherst were twenty-five per

At Halifax I met a lumberman from Newfoundland,
who said that the export of sawn lumber from the island
this season would exceed fifty million feet. The Henry
M. Whitney concern, of Boston, will put out about half
of this, and will have loaded twenty steamers besides
several barques before the latter part of October.
Labor is scarce on the island, and it is said that there
are fully 2500 men now permanently engaged in lumber-
ing in the colony.

Whilst I was at Chatham, N.B., the Head Line
steamship ‘‘ Teslin Head” put in there from Quebec.
She was loaded with a cargo of lumber consigned for
the Imperial Government.

An all-night run took me through the Metapedia
valley and past the famed summer resorts of Bic, Little
Metis, Cacouna, and Riviere de Loup. I arrived at
Quebec in time to see the brilliant spectacle of the
illumination of the British and French fleets of warships
and the departure of the vice-regal party.

One word before I close this trip. The Intercolonial
Railway deserve praise for their fine service. The
parlor, sleeping, and dining car appointments are
perfect—equal to anything I have seen on the biggest
U.S. lines. The trainmen are the politest I have ever
met, and although the journey is long it is one filled
with pleasure, and at times, entrancing beauty.

I arrived in Toronto safely. My mileage book showed
3,127 miles of railway travel and about fifty miles by elec-
tric road and boat, an average of about 160 miles for
every working day. I was tired out by the rapidjourney,
but like the Great Sacred Black Cat, ‘‘still in the ring.”’

DEVELOPMENT OF THE CIRCULAR SAW.
By D. W. Bairrp.

The publication of some reminiscences of old-
time saw mills in a recent issue of the South-
ern Lumberman served to bring out a great
deal of imformation, more or less reliable, in
regard to the primintive methods of convert-
ing timber into lumber. While the saw was one
among the earliest tools to be used, the degree
of perfection attained in saws of all description
in use at the present time was arrived at by
slow process of evolution and progress that

mK

-

extended over many centuries. The first users
of the saw doubtless realized at a very early
date that its efficiency, that is, the amount of
work the tool would perform, depended upon
the rate of travel of its cutting edge. . This
proposition is so apparent that we are forced
to assume that even a primitive people posses-
sing sufficient intelligence to pull a saw back
and forth would readily catch on to the idea.
Starting with this assumption, itis astonishing
that it required more than thirty centuries for
a people constantly increasing in knowledge ot
mechanical laws to discover the immense su-
periority of a rotary over a reciprocating motion
when applied to a saw, or to many other cut-
ting tools. A large proportion of mechanical
force, or power, expended in operating a recip-
rocating saw or other machine is absorbed in
overcoming the impact. Equally as astonish-
ing are the crude devices resorted to some six
or seven decades ago in the effort to produce a
circular saw. In this connection we present
cuts of two of the earliest forms of the circular
saw used in Tennessee that are fairly well
authenticated.

Cut No. 1 represents a saw that was oper-

ated by one Thomas Scarborough in Bedford

Fic. 1.—THE SCARBOROUGH SAW OF_1849.

county, Tennessee, about the year 1840. It
was simply a strip of iron about eight inches
wide and probably half an inch in thickness,
with steel ends in which the teeth, were formed.
The hole for the mandrel, or arbor, was square.
This saw was used for hewing house logs,
cutting floor beams, joists, and squariug tim-
ber for various purposes. As no other of its
kind has ever been reported it is fair to pre-

ra

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN ie

sume that this saw was not a pronounced
success.

Cut No. 2 is from a sketch by John H.
Whitson, of Goodrich, Tenn. It represents a
saw that was in operation on Hatchie river,
West Tennessee, near the line between the
counties of Hardin and Hardeman during the
last half of the fifth decade of the past century.
This saw strongly suggests the circular saw of
to-day, but had only four teeth. It was driven

by horse power applied to a draught wheel of
the ‘‘ ground-hog ” pattern, except that it was
made almost wholly of wood, and was used for
cutting pine lumber. Mr. Whitson, who was
a half grown boy at the time when he saw it,
says that according to his best recollection and
belief this saw threw chips fifty feet high.
These two instances will serve to show by
what slow process the circular saw of the
present was evolved. The step from the cir-
cular to the band saw was shorter and more
rapid, but still it was brought to its present
degree of perfection only through tedious and
costly experiments. Few of the present gen-
eration realize how much they owe to the
patient and slow development of inventive
genius among the generations now gone.

Limited, which iy of considerable

mission plant for the Price-Porritt Pulp and
Paper Company, of Rimouski, Que., of which
we show some pictures herewith.

In designing this new plant the power

transmission equipment throughout was
specially designed by the Dodge Company
and the illustrations we reproduce show

how extensive a task the company had to
perform.
From the main drive through to the

smallest drive to individual machines the

Dodge Company furnished the entire equip-
ment, which is of the very latest and approved

type made by the Dodge Manufacturing
Company.

-Shafting, belting, hangers, bearings,
couplings, friction clutches, Dodge wood

split pulleys, iron pulleys, special castings and
everything that was needed to make a per-

into notice as designers and builders of high-
class power ttansmission appliances and as
designers and builders of complete plants.

Col. Mullish, an English millionaire, and J.J. Palmer,
of Toronto, recently spent some time in British Colum-
bia in connection with a pulp mill project, the syndicate
which they represent having purchased limits in the

vicinity of Princess Royal Island. Acting for them,

Mr. Cornelius Shields, President of the
Consolidated Lake Superior Company, is re-
ported to have made the following statements
regarding the operation of the pulp mills :

‘* The Sault Ste. Marie Pulp
and Paper Co. has been losing
its pulp.
With logs at several dollars
per cord below the price other
mills are paying and making
money, these mills ought to be
making good profits. I have
hardly been here long enough
to get down to the bottom of
this matter, but the profitable
operation of these plants seems
to be wholly a question of man-
agement. The losses on the
sulphite mill appear to have
been due to the attempt to get
gas from the roasting of
pyrrhotite, which has not
yiclded enough gas to enable
the mill to make more than 18
or 20 tons of pulp per day on
a rated capacity of 50 to 60
The substitution of pyrites, or sul-
phur when pyrités could not be had, has
resulted in increasing the output to about 40
tons per. day. The fourth dry machine
which has just been installed, completes the

planned. The ground wood
mill has lost much time on
account of shortage of logs,
which should have been pro-

have been
gradually reducing their costs
until they are now about equal
to the prices obtained for the
pulp. Still further reductions
must be made and no doubt
can be made. The price f
pulp is advancing, and as the
output has been sold a long
way ahead, there is a chance
to turn the past losses into a
good profit. It is hard to tell what these mills
ought to return, but I should say that both of
them ought to show not less than $75,000 for
next year. Either of them ought to make
more than that if the costs can be brought
down where they should be.”

able suggestions touching the operations of the plant,
such as suggestions for improving the bleaching and
sizing, for improving the steam plant, and for paper-
making methods generally.

The Year Book of Canada for 1902 shows that the
wood pulp industry for the calendar year mentioned
was carried on by thirty-five mills, which bad an
output of 240,989 tons of wood pulp. Of this quantity
155,210 tons were mechanical pulp, 76,735 sulphite,
and 9,044 soda. The corresponding quantities for
1901 were : Mechanical, 169,360 tons; sulphite, 84,500
tons; and soda, 10,740 tons. This shows a decrease
of 23,611 tons in 1902. The decrease is distributed :
Sulphite, 7,765; soda,.f,696; mechanical, 14,150 tons.
The total value of the*output of 1902 was $4,383,182.
Nine of the thirty-five mills manufacture sulphite pu'p
and four soda pulp. Twenty-five mills manufacture
mechanical pulp and four make both chemical and
mechanical. Taking the returns of thirty-two mils,
the average time the mills ran during the year was

ten months. The value of the exports of pulp in 1902
was $2,511,664, while the consumption in the domestic
market was valued. at $1,871,518. Canada exported
about 57 per cent. of her production, Great Britain
taking $976,192 worth, and the United States
$1,518, (39.

DISPLAY OF TRANSMISSION APPARATUS.

® Those who visited the recent Exposition in Toronto
probably found no more interesting exhibit than that of
the Dodge Manufacturing Company, of Toronto,
Limited, for the display of this company attracted
about as much attention as any individual exhibit at the
Fair.

= Connected from the main shaft in the building, there

EXHIBITION.

was shown a complete rope drive, after the famous
Dodge Continuous System, which siiowed the splendid
efficiency and remarkable simplicity of this method of
driving and demonstrated its points of superiority to the
eye of even the unskilled observers. In this connection
the travelling take-up carriage was shown to splendid
advantage in its relation to the rope drive.

Forming the rail around the booth was shafting of

the company’s immense line which was fitted with the
famous Dodge friction clutch, which attracted attention
and admiration from everyene. Piled high in columns
at one side of the exhibit were columns of the Dodge
wood split pulley which was shown in all sizes from the
small one three inches in diameter to the large and
heavy ones.

Within this enclosure was displayed the complete
line which the company manufacture
—couplings, hangers, ring, chain and
capillary self oiling bearings, machine
moulded iron pulleys, clutches and a
full line of grain and elevator ma-
chinery.

To see the remarkable ease and
smoothness with which these applian-
ces run, one would scarcely think that
they were such important adjuncts in
the manufacturing plant, yet nothing
was demonstrated in the exhibit which
the Dodge appliances will not perform
in actual operation.

PERSONAL.

Mr. Jonas Howe, of St. John, N.B.,
who has for several years been promi-
nent in the cruising of timber lands in
the Maritime Provinces, left recently
for British Columbia, to make an in-
spection of limits there in the interest
of eastern capitalists.

The B. C. cargo branch of the Pacific

Coast Lumber Manufacturers’ Associa-

tion presented Mr. R. H. Alexander, of Vancouver,

that association. The watch is a handsome example of
the jeweller’s art.

ant duties and permitting him to give greater attention
to business management.

The citizens of Parry Sound, Ont., were greatly
shocked by the announcement of the sudden death at
Sudbury of Mr. Frank Halliday, Crown Timber Agent
for the Parry Sound district. Mr. Halliday was making
an examination of timber limits when he contracted
inflammatory rheumatism, his death taking place
within a few days after being removed to the hospital.
Before his appointment as Crown Timber Agent
deceased was an active politician and once unsuccess-
fully contested Addington for the Legislature. Mrs.
Halliday survives him.

CROWN TIMBER DUES.
OTTAWA, 14th September, 1903.
Editor CANADA LUMBERMAN :

Dear Si1R,—Your correspondent ‘‘ A New Brunswick
Lumberinan,”’ in the September number of the CANADA
LUMBERMAN, Is in error as to the rate per thousand feet
B.M. on white pine saw logs in the Provinces of Quebec
and Ontario. He gives 65 cents for Quebec and $1.30
for Ontario. The rate of dues payable per thousand
feet B.M. is: Quebec, $1.30 per thousand, and Ontario
$1 on limits sold prior to 1892 and $1.25 on limits sold
at that date and subsequently.

His remarks as to cutting regardless of size is in the
right direction. Small logs should be restricted by the
respective Crown Lands Departments of the different
provinces, irrespective of the time limit to which the
renewal of licenses may be subject. The Quebec regu-
lations by section 12 restrict the cutting of pine trees
less than 12 inches on the stump, but it is a question
whether it is observed strictly.

Yours truly,
‘* SUBSCRIBER.”

“A 3 | THE CANADA LUMBERMAN

MEASURING LUMBER.

There are still a few concerns who measure their .

lumber by the old and expensive way of a man anda
measuring stick, but the new improved way is by means
of the little machine called the George Register, This
is claimed to be the only perfect lumber register on the
market, and weighs but ten pounds. No lumberman,
either saw or planing mill, can afford to be without this
device.

The George Register is offered to all free on thirty
days trial. Every person who has lumber to measure
should read the letter published in our advertising
columns from the Knight Bros. Co., of Burk’s Falls.

The points of advantage in this register are as
follows :—It is easily attached to the planer; it measures
either forward or backward and therefore cannot make
a mistake; it is graduated with absolute accuracy ;
it will save the wages of one man measuring every day
it is used ; it will measure any length of board, regard-

less of thickness; it will not slip on smooth or icy
boards ; it has a capacity of 60,000 ft. lineal ; it cannot
get out of order, and needs no repairs.

We would recommend that lumbermen write to the
Stouffville Brass & Steel Works, Stouffville, Ontario,
and get one of these registers, which are inexpensive.

The Stouffville Brass & Steel works also make emery
grinders which are said to be the best on the market, a
splendid planer chuck, and the well-known Simplex
gasoline motor for stationary or marine purposes.
Lumbermen should write this company for prices and
catalogues of the above.

FOREST FIRES.
At the recent meeting of the Maritime Buard or
Trade the following resolution in respect to forest fires

was adopted :
‘Whereas there have recently been devastating fires

in our forests and timber lands, and whereas the laws
against setting such fires are either insufficient or in-
Operative, and whereas so much depends upon the
preservation of our lands; therefore, resolved, that in
the opinion of this board the time has fully arrived when
some practical measures should be taken by our Iecal
governments to prevent the destruction of our forests
by fire, either by the appointment of special guardians,
or such other means as they in their opinion believe will
attain the desired object. And, further resolved, that
it is most desirable that the laws made, or hereafter to
be made, regarding cutting undersized saw-logs, be
strictly enforced.”

A firm in Germany is exploiting a process for stain-
ing timber, while in the log, any desired color, From
samples exhibited this concern is apparently able to
impregnate all soft-woods and some hardwoods with
any desired shade, also to convert the lightest woods
into tones as dark as ebony.

A builder of special wood-cutting tools says ifit were
not for the Canadian tariff he would sell five times as
many machines in Canada as he now does. That sug-
gests the idea, would Canadian or European builders
sell any wood-working machines in this country if we
had no tariff ?—The Wood-Worker, Indianapolis.

A correspondent in Jamaica writes: ‘‘Sectional returns
available show a marked increase in the importation of
white pine lumber and deals, also in ready-made sashes,
blinds, doors, buggy wood materials, etc., which I

have satisfied myself are of Canadian origin ; yet the
probability is that the credit to Canada for these com-
modities will be insignificant.”

South Africa has to import its hardwood sleepers.
Tenders have just been invited for the supply of 120,-
ooo hardwood sleepers 7 feet by 10 inclies by 5 inches,
to be landed inthe Colony at the rate of 25,000 a
month. It is a very surprising fact that not only South
Africa, but East and Central East Africa have to de-
pend on foreign sources for their timber supply gener-
ally.

A forest of camphor trees, covering an area uf some
50,000 acres, has, according to the Anglo-Japanese
Gazette, been discovercd in the southern part of Tal-
wan, containing, roughly, some 120,000 trees. The
trees, which measure from eight to eighteen feet in
girth, are estimated to produce 5,850 tons of camphor,

worth 1,720,000 yen.
the forest also contains a large number of oak trees of

the ‘‘red-grained” variety.

In addition to camphor trees,

There is reposing in the lumber shed of one of the
navy yards a stick of lumber that is worthy of the at-
tenton it is receiving from the old-time sailors and navi-
gators. Itisa piece of live oak, 37 feet long, 4 feet
10 inches wide anda little over 4 feet thick, and has
become so hard with age that it requires the finest
grade steel to make any impression on it. Its weight
is estimated at between twelve and thirteen tons. The
stick was originally designed for the stern post of a
sister ship to the Hartford, but for some reason was
never used. Some of the old tars want the stick cut
and sent to a wood-working shop to be turned into pil-

lars to be used in the corridor leading to the officers’
quarters on the new battleship Connecticut.—American

Watson’s Portable Air Tight Baker

The most convenient stove ever constructed
for use in the Woods, onthe Drive, in the
Camps. Bakes as perfectly as the finest
range.

Read What Experienced Woodsmen Say of it:

‘We used your Portable Woods Baker all last season
with a crew of men in the woods, travelling from
place to place. We found it convenient to handle
and the best steel range cannot beatit in baking.
Itisa perfect baking oven and a success in every
way.
The cooking is not affected by rain or weather and
can be used outdoors or in a tent.”
Yours truly,
MENOMINEE RIVER BooM Co.,
Per Wm. H. Stephenson, Gen’l Supt.

South Rex Street, CANTON, OHIO

We make these stoves in three sizes. Our No. 10
will cook for ten men; our No. 20for twenty men,
and No. 50 for from fifty to one hundred persons.

We want those interested in a stove of this kind to

THE BURRILL LUMBER COMPANY.

The Burrill Lumber Company, of Burrill
Siding, Que., have recently completed a new
saw mill at Three Rivers, which is shown in
the accompanying illustration. It is modern
in every respect and capable of producing lum-
ber at the minimum of cost.

The mill is situated on the east side of the
St. Maurice river, in the parish of Cap Made-
leine, and about one mile from the line of the
Canadian Pacific Railway, to which a siding
has been built. As shown in the picture, the land
across the water is an island in the middle of
the river, so that their booms and logs are
well protected against freshets. Canal boats
can come up alongside the mill, in fact, any
boat not drawing over 10 feet of water. The
company are in a position to
ship by rail or boat.

The power equipment in-
cludes two five foot tubular
boilers 12 feet long set upon
Dutch ovens. These ovens
have given the best satisfac-
tion, the company having
equipped six mills in a similar
manner. They claim that
there is no better furnace, when
properly built, for burning
sawdust and refuse. The en-
gine in 18 inches in diameter
with a 42 inch stroke, the
resaw being driven by a sep-
arate engine 10X12 inch.

The mill is a circular, with

city being from 35,000 to 50,000 feet per ten
hours, according to quality of logs. There is a
gang edger with one stationary and two move-
able saws, moved by guides and with locked
stops, a Duncan resawing machine for slabs to
be butted, and four saw slashers. It is the
intention to install a couple of shingle mills and

a planing and finishing outfit for lumber, as

well as a cutting-up rig for pulp wood.

The log supply for the mill is obtained from
limits located along the St. Maurice and Shaw-
inigan rivers. The head office of the company
is at Burrill Siding, Mr. Vivian Burrill being
manager and secretary.

The business of the Stewart Machinery Company at
Winnipeg, Man., has been purchased by McGregor,

A WIRE ROPEWAY IN THE ANAIMALAI
HILLS.

By Horace H. Gass.

The utility of wire ropeways for transport is,
perhaps, nowhere better exemplified than in
countries possessing valuable products which
are locked up for want of capital and enterprise
to establish suitable lines for export over rough
and inaccessible territory.

In India, for example, there are vast forests
in mighty ranges of mountains, far removed
from lines of railway and the road systems of
the lowlands, containing valuable timber trees,
many of which are little known at present, but
which, with cheaper means of extraction, will
in course of time, as the reliable woods become
more difficult to obtain, find a ready sale in the

Saw MILL OF THE BURRILL LUMBER COMPANY AT BURRILL SIDING, QUE.

home markets for all purposes for which hard-
woods are required.

The vast importance of these forests cannot
be overstated, and the Government of India de-
votes close attention to their preservation, main-
tenance, and improvement, at the same time
not overlooking their commercial possibilities.

The Anaimalais (elephant mountains) of
Southern India are an important centre of
supply — the forests in this region, though
much overworked in the past, still containing

a large supply of exploitable wood of valuable _

species, the principal of which is teak. The
climate being unhealthy, this range of hills is
almost uninhabited by man, but is infested with
wild animals.
railway, and, though roads lead to the foot in
various directions, there is only an indifferent
car-track, with a very steep gradient leading
up to the west of the outer slopes, and covering
a distance of about 334 miles. It ishere con-
nected with a two-foot tramway line, which
runs into the heart of the forest. The line is

It is a long distance from the

worked by trolleys, drawn by bullocks. It has
rendered good service in enabling larger logs to
be extracted with an increased output of timber.

The ghaut road has always been a serious
obstacle to work on a large scale, as the for-
ests can only be worked during the rainy sea-
son, which extends from about the middle of
June until the end of January, partly because
of malaria, but principally for want of water.
Torrential downpours make the road almost
impassable at times by the havoc they cause,
and it is so steep that it is not safe to metal it,
or the draught bullocks descending the hill
would obtain no foothold.

THE OLD METHOD.

Under the system at first employed in work-
ing these forests, the huge
logs were dragged by ele-
phants from the felling com- ~
partments to the side of the
tramway, and transported on
trolleys to the end of the line,
from whence they were sent
down the ghaut by bullock-
cart into a large town about
fifty miles distant, to be dis-
posed of by auction sales.
All this was costly ; the sales
were uncertain, and the rates
low. To improve them it ap-
peared to be desirable to place
the timber on the market in a
more saleable form for small
purchasers, and to reduce the
costs of extraction. The form-
er has been effected by the
establishment of a sawmill in
the forests, worked by water power, with a
Pelton wheel, the timber being sawn into
marketable size, and the latter, by setting
up a wire ropeway or timber-run from the crest
of the hills overlooking the plains, in order to —
dispense with the use of the ghaut road—the
most costly section of the journey. The wire
ropeway passes off from the lower end of the
tramway line, and its lower extremity is close
to the main road. The sawn wood is thus
conveyed from the saw mill by the tramway
direct to the wire ropeway, and in this way
reaches the foot of the mountain.

DESCRIPTION OF NEW ROPEWAY.

This wire ropeway has been constructed
under the orders of the Madras Government by
the Forest Department.

The principle is a

to the edges, with 1% in.

x THE CANADA LUMBERMAN _

The descending carriage is controlled by an
endless thin hauling rope adjusted below the
main rope, passing twice round a brake drum,
and kept in check by a powerful brake strap,
and a large deeply grooved wheel at the foot.
Fig. 1 shows the brake drum from the front.

The thin hauling rope is clipped on to the
two carriages on the right hand side, looking
in the direction in which each is travelling.

The ropeway between the terminals is 6,318
ft. long, and the length of line actually trav-
ersed by the carriages, 5,284 ft. -

It became necssary to advance the starting
platform sufficieritly to bring the central or
transfer plattorm on to a ridge within easy
reach of the rope. The total fall from terminal
to terminal is 1,031.58 ft.; that from the upper
terminal to the starting platform, 109.50 ft.;
from the starting platform to transfer staging,
488°70 ft.; the transfer station to the
lower terminal, 433°38 ft. The rope crosses
two main valleys and a number of ravines, the

from

ground being much broken up and rocky in
parts.

The rope is supported in eight places up to
the starting platform, and in twenty-three be-
tween it and the foot. The supports in the
former consist of wooden grooved saddles rest-
ing on crossbars, and in the latter of hangers
and cast iron saddles.

There are six main spans of 554, 1,675, 510,
600, 355, and 712 feet respectively. The fixed
rope is 2% in. in circumference, with six strands
and a hempen; each strand contains seven wires
of best steel.

The thin, or hauling, wire rope is 7 in. in
circumference, with five strands and a hemp
core, and each strand contains four wires.
This rope can be seen in fig. 1. The brake
drum is 4 ft. inside diameter.

The brake strap is adjusted to the upper half
of the drum, and acted on by a handle at the
side. The lower part of the drum is housed
with hard-wood, and hollowed out to prevent
the folds of the rope overlapping. The axles
of the drums run easily in deep substantial
bearings. The large grooved wheel at the foot
is also 4 ft. in diameter, but calls for no spec-
ial description.

The hanging supports consist of two curved
wrought iron plates, 3 ft. long, forming a cir-
cular opening at the top 8 in. in diameter, and
connected at the bottom by a grooved saddle,
in which the rope rests, sloped atthe ends to
prevent injury to the rope.

The saddles are of cast iron, of similar make,
and are used in a few places, resting upon
wooden brackets and supports projecting from
them conveniently near the line.

THE CARRIAGE.

The carriage consists of two curved wrought
iron hangers, connected together by pieces of
timber with grooved runners, 9 in. in diameter
grooves—the car-
riages were first used with two wheels, as
shown in fig. 2, but experience has shown that
it is best to use four wheels.

Four patent clips are attached to each car-

‘tiage, two to the bottom side of each connect-
_ ing block.
_to have them attached to the bottom than to

It has been found more convenient

the sides. Each clip is provided with a clamp-
ing screw. -
The nearer the wheels are brought together

the more easily the carriages will travel. When -

they are placed some distance apart they do
not travel in the same plane, and set up much
friction on the rope.

The plant was designed and constructed by
Messrs. Bullivant & Co., Ltd., of 72 Mark
Lane, and the materials are of the best des-
cription, a fact that will be fully recognized
when it is stated that until lately the longest
span was 2,212 ft. horizontal distance, and that
loads weighing about 1,400 lbs., exclusive of
the weight of the carriage (about 400 Ibs.), have
been sent down in large numbers quite safely.

CONSTRUCTION OF THE LINE.

The first step towards the installation of the
wire ropeway was -the selection of the most
convenient line, and laying it out and clearing
it— a by no means easy matter, as it. lay
through heavy forest. The supports were then
set up.

The anchorages were next prepared, and as
there was no natural rock in the right place,
large boulders, each weighing about 15 tons,

Fic. 1.—THE BRAKE Drum.

were dragged by elephants, and dropped into
position at each end of the line. Holes had
then to be drilled in the boulders for the legs of
the iron anchor bars—g ft. in length and 3 in.

thick. Two massive cables—24 in. long, for
the upper anchorage, and 12 ft. for the lower,
were then attached to the anchor bars, and the
latter were firmly fixed in the rocks.

The unreeling of the rope followed, com-
mencing, of course, from the bottom of the
line. This was received from Messrs. Bulli-
vant and Co. on a large iron reel or bobbin,
the total weight of the rope and reel being
about 4 tons. An axle was passed through a
hole in the centre, and the reel was swung
clear of the ground.

It was first intended to carry the rope up the
hill on the shoulders of the coolies, placed at
intervals of 30 feet, but the broken nature of
the ground made this difficult to carry out, and
eventually elephants were attached to the end
of the rope to haul it up. _ The friction caused
by the rope dragging along the ground was,
however, so great that at the end of the j journ-
ey no less than nine elephants were used in ad-
dition to a large body of coolies.

Sliced into the end of the rope was a massive
thimble, or eyelet. This was attached to the
chain, and the rope was fixed to its upper

’ anchorage.

ports and connected on to the anchorage cable
at the lower end, and hauled in by means of a
small winch, provided with the necessary two

THE PLATFORMS.

There are four platforms. (1) The brake
platform, 22 feet by 15 feet, is placed 30 feet to
the rear of the starting platform. (2) The
starting platform, 19 feet by 20 feet (fig. 2) is”
provided with tram rails, at the end of which
is a weighing machine to ensure constant
weight in the loads. (3) The central, or trans-
fer platform is 4o feet by 8 feet, and 4 feet

high, and placed at a distance of 10 feet from :

the line of the fixed rope. A trolley runs on
this platform provided with a long wooden
lever supported by a chain. A crossbar 1s at-
tached to the end of this lever, corresponding —
in length with that of the carriage, and fitted
with two upright iron plates to pass in between
the wheels and the hangers of the carriage.
The height of this platform is so arranged as
to bring the lever when horizontal to nearly
the level of the carriage. (4) The lower plat-
form is 28 feet by 8 feet, and 5 feet high, and
requires no explanation. The height is con-—

veniently arranged with reference to the fs .

the fixed rope. :

METHODS OF WORKING.

The method of working the rope is as follows:

The weight of the load has hitherto not been
allowed to exceed that of about 22 cwt., or
about 1,400 Ibs. of timber, and, though it is:
possible to send down rough logs of that size,

the work has been confined to the transport _

as it is ascertained that all is ready below, that
is to say, that the previous load has been re-
moved and the thin rope clipped on to the
empty carriage ready for the ascent, the haul-
ing rope is detached from the left hand side ot
the loaded carriage and lowered on to the rol-
lers below, and the carriage is started, des-
cending at a high speed, some twenty miles an
hour, to the central station, and kept under

ontrol by the brake drum. The two carriages
meet here, and are stopped at a distance of
about ten feet or more, according to the length
of the scantlings. The trolley and lever are

THINGS WE MAY LEARN.

That the horizontal type of the log band saw
has advantages over its vertical rival is indis-
putable, the chief of these being : (1) The man
required for setting the log up to the saw for
each cut with the latter machine is entirely dis-
pensed with in the case of the former ; (2) the
boards or flitches, when cut off by the horizon.
tal saw, remain on the log after the cut,
whereas when cutting large flitches from the
log with the vertical band considerable labor is
required to support the piece when the saw is
finishing the cut; (3) the principle on which
the horizontal saw is constructed insures more
accurate work being accomplished than is pos-
sible with the vertical machine, owing to the
increased liability of the log tilting from side

to side in the case of the latter machine. As
with many other things the best and most
practicable principles in sawing machinery will
ultimately assert themselves, independent of all
criticism. So time alone will establish and
demonstrate to us what are really the most
rapid and superior systems of converting tim-
ber—at least so far as the vertical and horizon-

arrangement, which would be certain to come
to grief continually andcause both carriages to
fall off the rope. The lever arrangement works
well and expeditiously.

THE OUTPUT.

The loads can be run down at the rate of
about two to the hour, and the saving is very
considerable, so that if it were possible to
work throughout the year with sufficient ma-

tal log band saws areconceraed. I know that
there are more machines of the vertical type in
daily use than the other, yet I venture to pre-
dict that the several superior merits of the hori-
zontal saw will yet be more realized and recog-
nized even in America, which place may be
termed the home of the vertical principle ; and,
as our friends have imitated and improved
many European inventions in the past, they
may yet profit by the adoption of our methods
and sawing machinery.—Timber News.

their goods to the attention of owners and operators of saw
and planing mills, wood-working factories, pulp mills, etc.
the CanaDa LUMBERMAN is undoubtedly the cheapest and

most profifable advertising medium. Special attention is-

directed to ‘‘WANTED”’ and “ For SALE” advertisements, which
are inserted in a conspicuous position on front page of the
Weekly Edition.

BRITISH VS. AMERICAN METHODS.

“‘We turn out thirty-five machines a day
and sell in Great Britain ten thousand machines
a year,” remarked the representative of a large
United States manufacturing concern the other
day. When the writer began to catechise him
with the object of learning what induced
Britishers to pass by the home manufacturer in
favor of the foreigner, he was told that it was
not because of the advantage of cheapness, as
the price asked for the machine made in the
States was as high as that of the British made
machine. The American manufacturers’ ad-
vantage was said to principally lie in two
things—freedom from everything in the form
of red tape in his manner of doing business
and greater perfection in shop methods in the
direction of cheapening production. The
American manufacturer has been driven by the
high price of labor to devote much thought to
means of accomplishing as much as possible
by means of machinery, thereby reducing
human instrumentality to a minimum. Asa
result it is claimed that cost of production has
been so reduced as to far more than offset the
advantage of cheaper labor enjoyed by the
British manufacturer. The fact that in an
American manufacturing establishment six
weeks were spent on the drawings of a machine
which sells at $30, with the object of devising
means whereby a flange might be placed on
the end instead of on the side, thus enabling
the parts to be put through without re-setting
the planers, will serve to illustrate the care
exercised in the drawing office. In this case
no one will question the wisdom of the expen-
diture of $150 to discover means of effecting a
saving for all time in the manufacture of even

_ a low priced machine, the production of which,

however, runs into thousands.

CROWN TIMBER LAWS.

Two of our Provincial Governments are about
to enact new laws to govern .the disposal of
Crown timber. Those proposed by the Hon.
E. J. Davis, Commissioner of Crown Lands for
Onfario, are of a revolutionary character, al-
though for some time it has been evident that
the conditions would sooner or later call for a
change in the management of the timber
lands.

The Commissioner points out that the timber
lands that are suitable for agriculture must be
cleared off and opened up for settlement. On
such lands the present system of selling the
timber by area will be continued, but a new
policy will be adopted in respect to lands un-
suitable for agriculture. It is proposed to sell
the timber on these lands on the stump by
public competition at so much per thousand
feet, the trees to be cut to be above a certain
diameter and to be selected by a Government
official. When these trees are cut those of
the younger growth will have a better oppor-
tunity to develop. In the Temagami reserve,
set apart in 1901 and containing 1,400,000
acres, a portion of the timber has already ma-
tured, i.e., it has reached an age where it be-
gins to deteriorate and get knotty. This will
probably be the first timber to be disposed of
under the new plan.

The proposed selling method will be model-
ed somewhat after that in vogue in Germany.
It will involve more stringent regulations in re-
gard to fire ranging and the burning of the
debris, but any additional expense involved will
be certain to be more than offset by the bene-
fits to be derived in the direction of perpetuat-
ing the forest supply. It is also the intention
that the Crown shall assume control of the
areas which have been under license but have
been abandoned after being denuded of the
timber.

The Government of New Brunswick have
not yet definitely decided upon their future
policy in respect to the sale of timber lands,
but have held several conferences with the
lumbermen with the object of framing such
regulations as will secure areturn to the Gov-
ernment commensurate with the value of the
timber and at the same time not interfere with
the progress of the lumber industry. The
Surveyor-General has decided upon one point,
namely, to advance the stumpage dues to $1.50

per thousand feet. It was proposed that the
stumpage charge should be arranged on a
sliding scale basis, the timber being undoubt-
edly worth more in some localities than in
others, but this idea has apparently been
abandoned as impracticable, and very wisely
so. The question of tenure is one of very
great importance, and strong arguments may
be advanced in favor of long leases.
license would take greater care of the growing
timber, would more carefully protect the tim-
ber from fire, and would exercise greater dis-
cretion in the cutting of trees, leaving the
younger growth to become more valuable in af-
ter years. As against the granting of permanent
or very long leases may be advanced the argu-
ment that it might interfere with the system of
forest preservation which the Crown might de-
sire to adopt.

AMBIGUITY OF LUMBER TERMS.

The tendency to-day in all branches of

business is towards uniformity and standardiz-
ation. The adoption ot such methods as will
facilitate the dealings of one with the other and
limit the possibility of mistakes and misunder-
standing is the object aimed at. In the lumber
trade standardization is not unknown. The
standard St. Petersburg deal is twelve feet
long,eleven inches wide and one and one-half

inches thick; the standard lath is four feet long —

and one and one-half inches wide; a log twelve’
feet long and 24 inches in diameter and con-

taining 300 feet board measure is recognized —

as the standard. But when we consider the

rules for grading lumber we must admit that

such a thing as uniformity does not exist.
In this and the preceding issue will be found
some expressions from lumbermen as to the

meaning of certain lumber terms in common

use. The disparity which is shown in the
definitions given is sufficient to cause one to
wonder that steps have not already been taken
to remove the ambiguity which exists.

The opinions expressed would indicate that
the term ‘ mill run, culls out ” means common
and better, but in late years some manufac-

turers of hardwood lumber have adopted a_

grade of shipping culls and insisted on putting
it into a specification of mill run, culls out,
although the strict interpretation of the term
would seem to exclude all culls whether ship-

ping, mill or dead culls. This grade of shipping —

culls has been a bone of contention between
seller and buyer, the latter claiming that such
a grade is not recognized by the trade at large
and is but the creation of the manufacturer.
Nevertheless, in the present condition of the
hardwood lumber market, the buyer is bound
to respect the ideas of the manufacturer,
whether agreeable or otherwise. —

There seems to be even less unanimity of
opinion regarding the meaning of “ mill run.”
In pine lumber it is taken to exclude mill culls,
it being usually so specifiedin contracts, but with
hardwoods there seems no recognized custom.
Some lumbermen claim that a buyer would be
compelled to take the entire product of the log
even to dead culls or refuse ; others that dead
culls would be excluded ; while others go so
far as to exclude mill culls trom the specifica-
tion. When hardwood lumber was less
valuable mill culls were only saleable by
special agreement. That is not the case to-
day—they are recognized as merchantable
lumber, and doubtless the buyer would be ex-
pected to take them under a contract reading
‘“‘millrun.” In the absence of proper legalized
rules the lumber manufacturer or dealer has
been able to change his grade to suit. the
conditions. .

Another question which arises in this con-
nection is what percentage of better shall be
included in an order for common and better.
If the seller chose he might put in gg per cent.
ot common and one per cent. of better and yet:
argue with reason that his grading was in con-
formity with the specification. Indeed, it has.

frequently happened that the better end of the.
log has been taken out for deals, leaving a
very small percentage of No. 1 and 2 cuts, and!
the buyer purchasing the lumber as commam

F and better has really not received that to which

he was entitled.

Let us look at the explicit manner in which
the rules of the National Hardwood Lumber-
men’s Association, now adopted quite gener-

-ally in the United States, are tramed. The
‘word ‘‘ culls” has wisely been eliminated from
the rules and the terms No, 2 common and No.
3 common substituted therefor. Then the
inspection reads: ‘‘ Log run means the full
run of the log with No. 3 common out. Com-
mon and better means the full run of the log
with No. 2and No. 3 common out. Common
and better must contain at least 50 per cent. of
firsts and seconds.” Thus it will be seen that
the possibility of misunderstanding is reduced
to the minimum. A buyer placing his order
with a United States manufacturer for common
and better knows that he will receive at least
50 per cent. of firsts and seconds.

The lack of proper inspection rules is doing
more injury to the Canadian lumber trade than
may generally be supposed. Even Canadian

‘dealers are placing orders for hardwood lumber
with United States firms on account of the

greater satisfaction found in doing business _

there, due to the better inspection methods.
It is earnestly hoped that at an early date the
lumber trade will get together and decide upon
a reorganization of the inspection rules and the
adoption as far as possible of standard grades.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The unfortunate circumstances at the Soo,
bad as they were, are being multiplied by
persons and journals unfriendly to Canada.
They seemingly would like to convey the im-
pression that the entire future of Canada is
wrapped up in and dependent upon the
industries established by Mr. Clergue. The
failure of an American to carry to success
certain enterprises burdened by over-capitaliz-
ation through the scheming of American

financiers does not affect either the credit of

Canada or the other less pretentious but more
stable industries; nor does it prove that we
cannot compete with other countries in the
manufacture of pulp. The fact is that the
‘pulp mills were about the only revenue pro-
ducing concern of all the industries, and they
were expected to make profit enough to pay
interest on all the capital. As a separate
proposition they would doubtless have made
money.

Apropos of our remarks in our weekly
edition on the grading of Canadian timber for
export, we have been shown a communication
forwarded to the Lumbermen’s Association of
Ontario by representatives of the British
Timber Trades Federation. This communica-

~ tion defines clearly the defects in the manu-

facture and grading of Canadian lumber. It
states that there is a great disparity between
the quality of Canadian lumber shipped to

England and the Swedish or Russian product.

An illustration is given showing the result of
one shipment of first quality Canadian pine
made to England this year. This shipment
contained 306 pieces of certain sizes more than
were specified, while there was a shortage of
315 pieces in the other sizes. The custom of

Shipping deals of odd sizes is also referred to,
and it is pointed out that a customer ordering
a g-inch deal probably does not want agit-
inch deal, and that the half inch would be
entirely waste. It is suggested that the policy
of shipping red pine deals unassorted be dis-
continued, and that they be graded firsts,
seconds and thirds. Stress is laid on the
deterioration in the grading of pine deals. It
may be said that any change in this respect is
not confined to the British deal trade, as during
the past few years, when lumber has been
readily saleable, the grading generally has
been lowered. When lumber becomes more
dificult to sell it is quite likely that the
standard of the grades will be raised accord-
ingly.

inion Parliament. He participated in a discus-
sion early in the afternoon, and shortly after-
wards complained of illness. Medical attend-
ance was promptly obtained, but within a few
hours he passed away.

In his death Canada has lost one of her most
enterprising and broad-minded citizens, and it
may be truly said that he died in harness. As
a lumberman and farmer he attained remark-
able success—a success which will stand as an
object lesson to the young men of Canada,
won as it was by the application of energy,
pluck and liberality. For all his enterprises
were designed not only that he might profit
thereby himself, but that they might be of
benefit to the community in which he lived.
He was a man of most amiable disposition,
and was held in high system by all his
acquaintances.

Mr. Cargill was ason of the late David Car-
gill, who in 1824 came to Canada from County
Antrim, Ireland, and settled in Halton county,
Ontario. The subject of this sketch was born
in Nassagaweya in 1838. He was educated at

local schools and at Queen’s University, King-
ston, and the devotion of a very large propor-
tion of his time to business and politics failed
to extinguish in hima love of books and of
rational conversation.

Mr. Cargill was brought up to the lumber-
ing business in his native place while it afford-
ed opportunities for carrying on that industry,
but nearly a quarter of a century ago he bought
up the greater part of what is known as the
‘“‘Greenock swamp,” in the county of Bruce.
It was originally a flooded area of some 30,000
acres, partly traversed but not drained by the
Mud River, a tributary of the Saugeen. When
the great land sale of 1854 laid the foundation
of settlement in Bruce this area was left unal-
loted for want of applicants, and it was subse-
quently sold for what it would fetch under
competition, the auctioneer of the occasion be-
ing the late J. C. Miller, ot Parry Sound, then
a clerk in the Crown Lands Department. As
the lots were purchased by many different per-
sons, while concentrated management alone
would make successful exploitation possible,
the swamp lay dormant for years, until in 1879
and subsequent years Mr. Cargill, seeing its
potentiality, by degrees acquired the complete
ownership of about two-thirds of the wholearea.
He erected a sawmill and other woodworking
plant farther down the where the
village of Cargill soon grew up onthe Grand
Trunk Railway; made roads and cut drainage
canals though the swamp; carefully culled the
timber for manufacturing purposes; and sold
for farming purposes the lots thus redeemed
from submergence.

river,

For many years, in association with his son,
and under the name of Henry Cargill & Son,
he conducted saw and flour mills at Cargill, it
being his aim to so manage his timber pro-
perty as to perpetuate the supply.

Partly by the profits of business, but partly
also by the steady appreciation of his continu-
ously developing estate, he became a very
wealthy man, but no one thought of envying
him the possession of a patrimoay so clearly
the result of his own wisely-directed enterprise
and so liberally and sensibly administered.

One of Mr. Cargill’s recreations was stock-

farming. Like many other men of quiet dis-
position and exceptional intelligence, he was
very fond of thoroughbred horses and cattle,
and if the demands of public life had left him
the necessary leisure he would probably have
risen to eminence among Ontario stock breed-
ers.
As the unrenewable supply of timber on
his swamp lands approached exhaustion he en-
deavored to develop other industries to keep
up, if not increase, the prosperity of the little
community of which he was the founder and
the village where he continued to live and
which is known by his name.

Mr. Cargill was a Presbyterianin religion”
and a Conservative in politics. In 1887 he
was elected to the House of Commons for East
Bruce, a constituency he continued to repre-
sent up tothe time of his death. In 1864 he
married Miss Margaret Davidson, who, to-
gether with one son, Mr. Wellington Cargill,
and two daughters, survive him.

In British Columbia the life of a pile is not
more than two years, so great is the destruc-
tion caused by the toredo. Pile hammers may
be seen almost at any time at work in the har-
bers replacing the destroyed timbers. This is
not a difficult undertaking in the case of
wharves, piers, etc., but to insert new piles
under buildings which have been built out into
a harbor is another proposition. One of the
largest saw mills in the province is so con-
structed as to be affected by the work of the
toredo, and [am told that the manager pro-
poses to overcome the difficulty by surrounding
the piles and other timber work with sawdust.
It is known that the acid in red cedar sawdust
is destructive of the toredo, and it is expected
that it will prove sufficiently so to prevent any
injurious results to the timber. The experi-

ment is being watched with interest.

How best to handle the cargo lumber trade
of the Pacific Coast was a problem which until
recently seemed difficult to solve. Various
schemes were submitted, only to be turned
down as unworkable. One or two of a ration-

merit than the others, were given a trial, but
in practise they did not work out satisfactorily.
To Mr. R.H. Alexander, of the British Colum-

which has been accepted by the trade gener-
ally, and which has been in operation for the

glory, for be it known that many brainy men
of California, Washington and British Colum-
bia had racked their mental powers in the
hope of hitting upon some plan which would
meet the conditions. Mr. Alexander’s plan
was criticized, for no undertaking of such
magnitude and involving so many diversified
interests could fail to possess some points of
weakness, but it has proved by long odds the
the most pracitical of any scheme thus far sub-
mitted; and now a plan modelled after it is be-
ing inaugurated to handle the shingle output
of British Columbia. The able services of Mr.
Alexander have been recognized by the Lum-
bermen’s Association by the presentation to
him of a gold watch, said by one who has seen

it to be a perfect gem.

A story is told about‘ Renfrew lumberman,
who has been dead some years. He was well-
to-do, but anyone who judged him by his
clothes would be much disappointed. He was
getting on in years and wealth and the in-
firmities of age began to tell upon him. He
was advised to see a famous specialist in
Montreal and’ visited the metropolis for the
purpose. The specialist’s custom was to charge
his patients according to their means and he
invariably enquired what they did for a living.
When the examination of the old lumberman
was over the specialist asked him what he did
for a living.

‘*T work around a sawmill,”
answer.

Then the specialist asked a very moderate
fee and at once his patient pulled from one of
his pockets a big roll of bills, all of large
denomination. While the doctor changed one
of the bills to take out his fee he could not
repress his curiosity or astonishment.

‘“You say you work around a mill?” he
asked.

“« Yes,” came the laconic answer.

‘“* What do you do?”

was the

‘‘Oh! I own the mill,” and getting his
change he hade the specialist good-day and —

went back to Renfrew.

A MODEL PATTERN SHOP.
In a paper read before the Milwaukee meet-
ing of the American Foundrymen’s Association,
Joseph Leon Gobeille, discussing the arrange-
ment of the best modern pattern shop, said:
The building is important; the plant and the
placing of the tools more important, and, most
important of all, the system of work and man-
agement. As it isnot easy to describe a build-
ing in words, a drawing has been prepared
which approaches almost perfectly to all require-
7 ments. It must be light throughout—no dark
“a centers, asin a square room. It admits of
as supervision in its entirety from the foremans’
table, and is not too wide to permit of doubling
ox” up men on a big pattern—a matter of some
-_——s moment ona hurry job. The shop should be a
___ single-story detached building, or, if storage is

a ‘needed, have the shop on the top floor, plenty
of light, good heating by hot-water system,
SS = sanitary arrangements and fixtures of the same
___ quality as you would order for your own home.
__——- Pure water, ice and the best castile soap should
- be provided free, and a room set aside and
a 5 furnished with bandages and other things
needed in ‘‘first aid” emergency.

A 4-inch standpipe should be erected, with
7 ay, to which is connected coils of 2-inch hose
“ _ _ for use in case of an incipient blaze. Of course,
no fire will be allowed anywhere in the shop;
‘i your glue pots will be heated by steam and
. your artificial light must be electric.

Your lumber room is constantly replenished
+ with air-dried, ready-to-use lumber. This
me: lumber should be stood on end, i. e., the planks

‘ racked vertically, turning each end for end
a every ten days. Now that lumber is so large

_ necessary. White pine is still preferable, even

You will note that the lumber room is at

—notice that the band and jig saws are next
in line; then the segment machine and various
lathes.

In placing machines pay particular attention
to ‘‘clearance.” A cross-cut saw must admit
of one foot being sawn off from either end of
a 16-foot plank without collision with another
tool, operation or workman. A jointer or rip
saw must allow for working up to 16 feet long
and 24 inches wide under similar conditions.
A large cast-iron surface plate is very handy
for starting frames, housings or any large work
which must be absolutely level.

I believe the hand or bench trimmer is a det-
riment to rapid work, and I have had as many
as fifty in operation, only to be finally aban-
doned. A better device is the power face-plate
with plain angle gage.
best tools, of course, but some of the best ad-
vertised saws, lathes, etc, are unsatisfactory.

There is no good pattern-making glue pot on
the market. I have designed a twin steam
pot which is all right if connected with a sewer
to draw away the product of condensation; it
is operated by live steam and admits of one
pot being used on a job or on the bench without
the cooling of the other, an important trifle.

A segment machine is a great time-saver.
A boy at $1.25 per day will ‘‘lay up” and glue
100 courses of six segments each for a day’s

I cannot name the

work—about what eight journeymen would do
on chute-boards at 35 cents an hour. No such
machine is, however, on the market.

Of course, if you make only a few gears you ;

will need a gear cutter. There is none on the
market; we had to make ours, which is the
only one I know of that actually turns out either
involute or epicycloidic gears without skilled
labor to handle it. Any bright boy can run it,
It is thought to be worth 50 cents an inch of
‘diameter plus face” to make teeth in hard
wood for ordinary spur gearing by skilled hand-
work at 4o cents per hour; this is honest and
perhaps exceptional output. This machine
will cut gear teeth for 2 cents an inch.

A core-box machine is a money-saver. There
is one on the market which is pretty near
perfection.

There is no larger joiner on sale than 24-inch.
I have found that 4o-inch is a low limit, and
some day shall cut our patterns to make a 60-
inch. In large turned work—especially when
laid up ona segment machine—a big joiner
will surface courses for a fraction of the cost
when done on the lathe ‘the usual way. If
your foreman has the practice of doweling his
segments—a commendable habit—then you
need a dowel machine. A good one costs only
about $50.

For many years it was a problem to get out
large turned work. Anything heavy over 10
feet diameter would chatter. I show a phot-
ograph of a big face-plate hung from oak tim-
bers 12x12, which are built into the end wall of
the building ; this works perfectly and handles
anything up to 22 feet diameter.

There is nothing so good as the wooden
fillet, but leather and lead are cheaper. A
flexible shaft suspended above yous housing
table, with, say, five sizes of round rose cutters,
will work the finest fillets in a pattern you ever

saw, and do it out of the solid. The same rig
makes a good sandpapering machine for curves
and corners.

Three grindstones are absolJutely necessary:
one medium, one fine-grain—flat and in perfect
condition for planes, chisels, etc.—one med-
jum-grain for gouges and curved blades. A

plete your inventory of necessary tools.—Am-

mounted on wheels so placed that the handle

spaced to allow shavings to drop through and
leaving an opening at B for shavings scraped

SEASONING HARDWOODS.

It is claimed for a seasoning process recently
introduced by an English company, that hard-
woods green from the saw may be made fit for
conversion into joinery ina week. The Lon-_

don Timber Trades Journal says of the pro- —

cess: The wood is treated in a specially con-
structed stove with superheated steam at
atmospheric pressure for a time varying from
10 to 40 hours, according to the kind and
thickness of the timber seasoned—softwoods

with an open tissue taking from 10 to 18 hours, ~

while harder and closer woods take from 18 to
40 hours.
and inexpensive ; no skilled labor is required ;

exhaust steam may be used (being super-

heated), and the cost, including filling and
emptying the stove, does not, it is said, exceed
4 cents per cubic foot, and is often as low as
2 cents, whereas the cost of natural seasoning .

is never below 9 cents, and is frequently as ~

high as 12 cents. The timber may be used for.
making into joinery immediately it leaves the
stoves, without any fear of shrinkage, warping
or twisting, and can be planed quite as freely
as when naturally seasoned.

The process is extremely simple :

‘THE CANADA LUMBER

BIRD’S-EYE AND PLAIN MAPLE.

The following article appeared in a recent
number of the Railroad Gazette, written by
E. C. Hargrave. It contains a number of
things of interest to readers of THe LUMBER-
MAN.

Bird’s-eye maple is found growing with other
kinds of maple. The best bird’s-eye or that in
which the eyes are closest together and most
distinctly marked, is generally found growing
where the ordinary or common maple is of poor
quality, that is, contaning a large number of
knots.

It is now the practice in lumbering maple
for the bird’s-eye maple to be first selected and
shipped to veneer ee mills. This sorting
out or selecting ot bird’s-eye is done by men
skilled in the business, who go through the
Standing timber and mark the bird’s-eye maple
trees. It is claimed by some good judges that
they can tell a bird’s-eye maple tree at a dis-
tance of 100 yards, some even claim to do it
at a greater distance, but the writer thinks a
number of trees would be missed at so great a
distance.

A bird’s-eye maple tree is told by a difference
in the habit of the tree. It tapers more rapidly
and the trunk is not relatively as long as that
It is also told somtimes
by the looks of the bark; the bird’s-eye maple
pits or marks being distinctly seen on the out-
side of the bark. If there is still doubt as to
whether the tree is bird’s-eye maple, a blow
with an axe will remove some of the bark and
after that is done there can be no question, as
the surface of the tree after the bark is removed,
clearly shows the bird’s-eye marks.

It will be noticed that the eye ot the bird’s-
eye maple cannot be any kind of a knot, for

- the reason that the knot always bends the grain

of the timber towards the surface, while bird’s-
eye always depresses the grain towards the
center of the tree.

After the bird’s-eye maple trees are selected
they are cut down and sawed in logs and ship-
ped to the veneer factories where they are to
be used. It is also customary, wheré maple
logs are got out, for the buyers of bird’s-eye
maple logs to look over the rollways or piles
of logs and select the bird’s-eye maple logs.
When the logs are piled in huge piles or roll-
ways only the ends ot the logs can be seen, and
these clearly show whether they are bird’s-eye
or not.

Aside from the logs shipped to the veneer
mills there are a few for various reasons that
reach the saw mills and other factories. It
may be that because there are too few bird’s-
eye maple logs in the timber to pay to separate
them or it may be thatthe eyes are too scat-
tering, or that they are only on one side of the

log, that is, they appear in too small a section

to pay to cut it into veneers. It is strange, andno-

reason can be given for it, but sometimes the
eyes will only appear on one side of the tree, may
be only one-half or one-third the way around
it. If such a tree is cut into veneers, only one-
third or one-half of the veneer will show bird’s-
eye marks.

Many maple logs are used for the manu-
facture of toothpicks and for articles such as
butter dishes, baskets, etc. Jn making these
the log is first cut into veneers. The best
and straightest grained is then put through
machines that plane it into round strips the
Size necessary for toothpicks, and the poorer
grades are cut into such forms and sizes as
will make the desired dishes or baskets. All
logs are not suitable:for this work.

In what is known as a cross-grained log or
tree, the grain travels in a spiral, diagonally
up and around the tree. If sucha tree could
be seen with the bark off, it would look as
though the tree had been grasped by the top
and twisted. When such a log is cut into
lumber or veneer the grain runs diagonally
across the piece and it will easily split, making
it unfit for veneer that is to be bent, or for
toothpicks. Another type of log or tree is not
suitable for toothpicks. This may be a tree
containing a good quality of timber, with a
Straight grain, and in every other way suitable
to cut into veneers, but the log is hollow, and
there is no way to hold it so as to turn off the
sheets of veneer.

Timber in which the grain runs irregularly or
in waves, out and in, is poor material for veneer,
tor if a piece of veneer is cut from such a log,
and but slightly bent, breaks will appear all
over the surface. Practically all kinds, qualities
or shapes of logs can be handled and cut up in
the saw mills.

Considerable skill and care is necessary to
properly saw the logs that come to a saw mill,
and it is strange to see how few mills handle
the logs to the best advantage so that the lumber
obtained from them will be of the greatest value.
All hard maple, whether bird’s-eye, curly or
with ordinary grain, grows with the center of
the log or tree of a reddish or brownish color,
and the outside almost clear white. The red-
dish or brownish part of the timber is the old-
est part where the sap has stopped circulating,
and is known as the body timber. The white.
is where the sap still circulates, and in the
trade is always designated as ‘the sap.’ The
proportion of white or dark timber in the log
varies greatly.

The difference in the color of the timber plays

an important part in the value of the timber
sawed therefrom, and therefore in the sawing
of all maple logs. A piece of bird’s-eye maple,
ot ordinary maple lumber that is cut from the

sap wood, is worth from 50 per cent. to 100
per cent. more than if sawed, all or in part,
from the heart of the log. The value of the
lumber coming from a maple log will decrease
as follows: ,

The most valuable of all, white bird’s-eye.

Brown or partly brown bird’s-eye.

Plain grained white maple.

Maple squares, i. e., 4-in. x 4-in., 5-in. x
5-in., etc.

Clear thick maple, 2-in., 3-in. x 4-in. thick
or over.

Clear thin maple.

Common grades and culls.
_ “Squares are pieces of lumber 4-in. x 4-in.,
5-in. x 5-in. or 6-in. x 6-in., sawed out of the
good part of the log. It is difficult to obtain

a large square free from defects and also very ag

difficult to dry and cure, without checking so
badly as to materially lower its grade and
value.

“If we saw up an ordinary maple log the
surface of which showed ro knots, we will find
that the lumber on the outside of the log is .
free from knots, but as we get into the heart
of the log knots will appear and will grow
more numerons and larger the nearer we ap-
proach the center. The heart is always. very
defective and of comparatively small value. In

awing such a log, the sawyer after taking off
light slab, then a 1 inch sap piece, would
*hen estimate to the best of his judgment, how
tthick a board or plank could be sawed that
would be all white and show none of the darker
timber. He must exercise great care, because
if he saws off too thick a piece or it cuts into
the darker timber, so that part of the board or
plank is dark, it spoils the piece of white —
lumber, and reduces the value. Again, should
he saw a thinner piece than could be easily
obtained, he leaves more white maple than is
necessary on the log to be cut off with the next _
piece of lumber which is of a much lower value. -
After cutting off as much white maple as is
prudent, he then estimates how thick a piece
can be sawed off without reaching into the
knots or defects, and thus lower the grade of ~
the thick piece. Here again judgment is’ re-
quired, if he cuts off too thin a piece and leaves
part of the good lumber on the log, it will
afterwards become part of a poorer piece of
lumber, and if he cuts it too thick it reaches
into the defects so as to spoil its quality.

As before suggested it is very difficult to dry
squares so that they will not check to an extent
that will lower their grade, if not entirely de-
stroy their usefulness for the purposes intended.
For this reason very few mills will attempt to
get out lumber of these dimensions. Lumber
Over 2 inches thick is very difficult to cure
without checking and increases in difficult
very rapidly as it gets thicker.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.
The buying of small lots of lumber
which has been so general during the

past month is paipable evidence that

retailers and consumers throughout the
province are not heavily stocked. It may
be that the exceptionally fine weather is
responsible for a larger consumption in
outdoor work than was anticipated, but
the many requests for early delivery would
seem to indicate a sold-out condition.
Accordingly, firmness cf prices has ruled.
The predicted reaction in white pine
values is still confined to the higher grades,
which, as stated last week, were perhaps
selling relatively too high. And even
these grades are showing strength, for
from Ottawa comes the information that
the 1904 cuts of the McLachlin mills at
Arnprior and the McLaren mills at
Buckingham have already been contracted
for, and rumor says at an advance over
the prices of the past year. There have
also been some negotiations for blocks of
Georgian Bay stock to be sawn next
The lower grades continue to be
in steady request. A few days ago
2,000,000 feet of log run pine changed
hands at fifty cents over the price at which
the same grade of lumber sold last spring.
The average price of log run at the mill is
$18, shorts from $11 to $14, box $14, and
scoots $5 to $6.. Very few of the mills
have any stock of mill culls or box lumber
for sale, so great has been the demand.
Hardwood buyers do not take every-
thing offered without discrimination, as
they were disposed to do earlier in the.
year, but they are still buying for cus-
tomers and picking up lots on speculation
No
weakness is visible in any of the hard-

season.

It is difficult to make sales of lath and

CANADA LOMBERMAN WEEKLY EpItioN

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Values of spruce lumber continue re-
markably firm. Manufacturers are hold-
-ing out for higher prices for next season’s
production, and if the demand from the
United States and Great Britain should be
nearly as active as during the past season,
it is quite probable that they will succeed

in their efforts to establish a higher selling

basis. Some contracting has already
been done, but as a rule shippers are
pursuing a cautious policy until matters
in Great Britain become more settled.

mills are getting an advance of one dollar

UNITED STATES.

The buying of lumber in the United
States has been confined almost exclusive-

ly to actual needs, yet the volume of

business has been sufficient to create the
impression that a very fair trade wil] con-
tinue throughout the
While there is not likely to be a further
general rise in prices, it is equally certain
that no material slump will occur, so that
those in need of lumber are disposed to
place orders at current prices. Reports
from the Lake Superior district are of an
encouraging character. Recently there
have been large sales of factory lumber
and low grade boards, which have been
shipped in large quantities as far east as
New York. The stock of these grades at
the mills is almost exhausted. Other
grades are held in moderate quantity,
excepting selects, of which there is an
accumulation. There is a considerable
supply of No. 3 boards at interior mills at
the head of Lake Superior, but on Lake
Michigan there is not much of that class of
lumber that has not passed out of first
hands. Eastern buyers have been per-
sistent in demanding lower prices from
the western manufacturers, but up to the
present time the latter have not seemed
disposed to yield. Hemlock piece stuff
occupies a unique position, the supply
being less than in any previous season.
Conditions tavor high prices for this class
of lumber, although it is a question
whether manufacturers will consider it
advisable to make an advance.

Hardwood stocks are low and the indi-
cations point to a steady market with an
advancing tendency, as there will déubt-
less be a pronounced scarcity before the
large mills commence operations next
spring.

Shingles and lath are slightly weaker.
The Wisconsin and Minnesota mills are

‘ said to be carrying an abnormal supply of

The resumption of work by the cotton mills

ports still tell of an irregular demand. A
Manchester writer says that it is remark-
able how prices keep on advancing, es-
pecially in spruce deals. Very stiff c.i.f.
prices are now being asked, and it is very
likely that spruce may go up ten shillings

Manchester of 234 x7 inch spruce. At
the last auction sale first quality Quebec
spruce brought £12 per standard, which
is rather below the previous sales. Third
quality spruce brought £9 10s and fourth
quality £8 tos. There is brisk compe-
tition for the best quality of pine lumber,
but the lower grades are not in great
demand.

There is much speculation as to the
prices that will rule for first-open-water

possible before closing contracts in the

SALIENT FEATURES IN WHITE PINE,

It is well known throughout the trade
that the most active stock of white pine in
the market is the low grade stuff used for
It is also the class that is in
shortest supply compared to the extent
and urgency of demand for the higher
grades of lumber. The qualities of white
pine employed in box manufacture are in-
cluded in Nos. 3, 4, 5 and 6, four inches
and upward in width.

As a matter of fact there is no specific
grade of box lumber ; it is simply coarse,
common or cull stock and below the grade
of No. 2. Such lumber is used more ex-
tensively in the manufacture of boxes than
for any other kind of application, though
every retail yard carries a qnantity of it,
in all widths, to meet a demand that fre-

quently arises. No. 3in particular is con-

siderably devoted to-under flooring, roof-
ing, building and repairing sheds, or tor
any purpose where cheapness is the object
sought more than excellence of work.
Coarse lumber is used in box manufacture
pecause it is relatively cheap, and can be
cut up’so as to utilize all that is good in
each piece, No. 3 is the favorite grade,
because it can be cut up with the least
waste in knots and rot. No.4 comes
next in desirability ; No. 5 is a more or
less desperate resort, while No. 6 furnishes
the last grab at a vanishing supply.

The grades sought by box makers de-

pend on relative prices, the kind of boxes
being made and other conditions peculiar
to each case. This season the lower
grades have been bought up as never be-
fore, because scarcity has been such and
prices have been so high that manufac-
turers have been forced to take the lower
grades or nothing.
_ Present wholesale prices of No. 3 white
pine on a Chicago basis are $16 to $17 a
thousand ; No. 4, $13 to $13.50; No. 5,
$8.50 to $9, and No. 6, $6. At the same
time No. 2 is selling at $19 to $20.50.

The present box lumber supply is lower
than ever before known at the close of the
season. Nos. 3 and 4 are practically out
of first hands, while Nos. 5 and 6 are fast
disappearing. It is thought that this al-
most complete exhaustion of the white
pine coarse lumber supply must have a re-
flex influence on demand and prices of low
grade shop lumber and the general mar-

‘5 CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION

ket for medium quality white pine. The
supply of all coarse stock from No. 2
downward having been exhausted, Lold-
ers of the residue of better lumber will be
inclined to insist on good figures for it.
The only kind that now is in surplus is
shop lumber, and the manufacturers have
no doubt that it all will be wanted in the
ordinary course of the
manufacture.

coming year’s
As for uppers, they are like
wheat in store, or gold inthe vault ; even
better than that, like money at interest on
good security, because this year’s cut is
getting dry and therefore more valuable.

CANADA LUMBERMAN- WEEKLY EDITION

COMMENTS ON THE LUMBER SITU-
ATION IN GREAT BRITAIN.
The Belfast correspondent of the Tim-
The
spruce deals is large and increasing, and

ber News says : consumption of
prices are fairly steady. There is but little
doubt that
deals will increase in Ireland before long,

the requirements in spruce
for on every side there is a disposition to
put up new buildings and to touch up old
ones, which wil! mean very shortly a de-
cided increase in consumption of timber of

all kinds.

The Timber Trades Jeurnal: The pine
market keeps up its strong position, and
is likely to do so in the, face that higher
prices are again demanded by Canad an
lumbermen. There is very little spruce on
offer, and such few cargoes as are avail-
able forthe West Coast are held for high-
er prices than were current a week or two
ago. The output fer the remainder of the
season seems from all information we can
gather from the other side, likely to be
small, owing to the quantity of logs which
are stil hung up for want of rain. We
have been favored in the frankest manner

some spruce business, from which we
gather that the shippers hold the whip

hand, and our conclusion is that, so far 5

from any retrograde
looked for in this market,
points to an upward movement.

ber of parcels of spruce, principally 7x3, are
being dumped on this market by Quebec.
Three such parcels are shortly due per
‘* Malin Head,” and as importers are al-
ready overstocked with this size, bought
under contract, they are not disposed to

eightieth year. About thirty-five years ago he com-
menced a large milling and lumbering business at
Fenelon Falls, and also conducted a saw-mill business
at Harwood, Rice Lake, subsequently becoming one
of the largest: shareholders in the North Shore
Lumber Company.

An extremely pretty and fashionable wedding was
solemnized in St. Ottawa, on
September 31, the ccntracting parties being Miss
Isbester, daughter of the late James Isbester, and Mr.
James Gordon MacLaren, eldest son of Mr. David

time he hopes to gather considerable information re-
garding lumber and lumbering methods in Canada.

Mr. H. H. Spicer, of Woods & Spicer, Limited,
shingle manufacturers, Vancouver, B. C., honored THE
CANADA LUMBERMAN by a visit when in Toronto Jast
month. He spoke hopefully of the arrangement which
has just been made for the regulation of the shingle
output of British Columbia, stating that almost every
mill, large and small, had agreed to the proposed plan.
Mr. Spicer called upon some of the many dealers in the
east who handle their shingles, and intended visiting
Boston and other Eastern States points before his re-
turn to the coast.

STEAM BOILER INSPECTION IN BRITISH
COLUMBIA.

In accordance with the provisions of the Steam Boil-
ers’ Inspection Act of British Columbia, all steam boil-
ers in that province must be regularly inspected, and
engineers operating same must first pass an examination
as to qualification. The first annual report of Mr. John
Peck, Chief Inspector of Boilers and Machinery, covers
the calendar year of 1902 and gives much information
regarding the condition of boilers. The number of
boilers inspected during the year was 860. Three hun-
dred and twenty-one new boilers were inspected and
put into operation and 57 boilers were taken out of ser-
vice. The inspectors found 2,102 defects, 156 of which
were dangerous. The defects are summarized as fol-

Concerning boilers in saw mills Mr. Thomas H.
Goldie, Inspector for District A, says :

“Boiler No. 414 ‘‘A” is a 43’x14’ return tubular
boiler employed in a small saw mill for the purpose of
supplying steam for main engine. A further duty was
added to the already overtaxed boiler, that of furnish-
ing adry kiln with steam. This addition, however,
brought things to a standstill,and the perplexed owner,

_who thought it a financial impossibility to purchase

another boiler, set to devising some means of increas-
ing the boiler capacity. An idea occurred to him
that if he connected the bottom of the boiler to one
end of the kiln, which was about four feet below the
level of the lowest portion of the boiler, and the other
end of kiln to steam dome, he would produce a steady
circulation through both boiler and kiln. When every-
thing was connected up the new scheme was tried with
apparent success ; but the owner evidently did not
reckon on the water in the boiler following the natural
law of gravitation, and the boiler began to empty its
contents into the kiln and out through the drain cocks,

and before they were aware of it the ooiler was empty
with a fairly good fire under it. The fireman having
discovered that steam was away down and that no
water appeared in the glass, at once put on the
injector, but luckily there was just enough steam to
give it a start and no more. The fire door was
opened to supply more fuel, and it was then noticed
that the sheet over the fire was red hot. I was sent
for and arrived next day. On examining the boiler, I
found upper row of tubes sagged down ; circumferen-
tialseams over fire had pulled down about % inch
past original position ; the rivet heads were curled up
at caulking edge ; two of the sheets were bulged and
cracked, and the boiler was rendered useless, besides
running close chances of an explosion. The changes
were effected without notifying the Inspector, who
would not have allowed such nonsensical ideas to be
carried out, and would thereby have saved the owners
at least $1,000. This was the result of ignorance of:
common law.”

“Another return tubular boiler was ordered to have
blow-off changed from back head to bottom of shell, so
that all dirt and sediment could be thoroughly cleaned
out. The owners promised to have this done right
away, but they carelessly neglected it altogether
until my next visit, when I found fire sheet had bulged
down 2%".
off, the bottom of the boiler was found covered witha
coat of heavy scale about 5¢” thick. The plate was
cut out and patched. The original plate was 3%”
thick, but when a hole was drilled through crown ot
bulge it measured 1-16" thick, the material having
thinned out this much, due to stretching while over
heated. Ifthe change asked for had been made at
the time, this expense would also have been avoided.’

Mr. George O. Madigan, Inspector for District C,
reports as follows :

‘Tn one of the saw mills that was burned there was
an old low pressure marine type of boiler 60” diameter,
single riveted, %” iron plate, patched in every con-
ceivable place, both inside and outside, that had been
carrying 100 pounds and upwards. At ‘the time of
inspection the owners were informed that the pressure
would be materially reduced, after allowing a reason-
able time to get a boiler to replace it. Shortly after
this the mill burned down, and after rebuilding a new
boiler was installed, and when I went to inspect this I
found the old boiler set up alongside of the new one,
with a Dutch oven in front of it. I asked the owner
he intended to use the boiler again, and he said he
certainly did, as it had stood a good test while the mill
was burning. He said he had watched the gauge
until the hand had made a complete revolution to 200
pounds, and he did not know how much further it would
have gone if the pin had not stopped it ; and he con-
sidered, if it could stand 200 pounds at that time, it
surely would pass for 100 pounds.
when I told him, after examining the boiler, that 40
pounds would be the most that would be allowed, even
after damage done by fire had been repaired, as every-
thing had been strained and would have to be tightened
up.” .

“At another saw mill the boiler had head of dome, at
flange, cracked two-thirds of the circumference and
was pitted badly from lying on the damp ground ex-
posed to the weather; the hand-hole in front head was
eaten away almost large enough for a small boy to get
into it, and was in bad shape generally. This was
allowed to run for sixty days to enable them to replace
it, after which it was condemned. It had been sold,
with the understanding that it would carry 50 pounds,
and the purchaser had gone to the expense of moving it

and putting it in a good setting, firmly believing that —

the boiler was in good condition, and if there had been
no inspection would probably have had a serious
accident.”

No wonder that a nigger sometimes breaks down,
when he is steam fed and has no choice in the bill of
fare. —Puget Sound Lumberman.

COMPANY. 2 _

The new saw mill of the above company is ‘situated
at Trois Pistoles, Temiscouata District, Quebec. The fe
company was organized a year or more ago under the
Jaws of Quebec, with a capital of $150,000. Its officers —
: E. W. Tobin, M. P., president ; Christopher I. —

Ga ciee vice-president ; E. J. Murphy, secretary and 7
treasurer ; Pierre Angers, manager ; and these, with -
Fred S, Morse and Fred J. Farley, of Springfield, — 2
Mass., constitute the board of directors. The com-
pany has 84,000 acres of virgin timber. The Trois
Pistoles river courses through the tract, furnishing
numerous important water-powers, two distinct water-
falls being 80 feet and 72 feet respectively, the latt ef
fall being located just below the new mill. The plant
is located on the banks of the river, about one anda
half miles south of the tracks of the Intercolonial rail-—
road, which latter is now oreparing to build a spur
track from its main line direct to the company’s pili
grounds in the rear of the mill, which, it is hoped, wil
be completed by early spring.

[By OUR TRAVELLING REPRESENTATIVE. ]

The United States customs officials at Detroit had
hardly finished examining my ‘‘ grips” before I was in
conversation with alumberman. He wanted to know
all about the Canadian market. How was the cut
coming up? Was there much pine left in the country?
What was the chance for shoving in some yellow pine?
Were prices going up or down, etc.? I hopel
answered them all right, for this first interview seemed
to be an awfully serious one made by a very serious
man. But [ soon found out that there was a certain
_ feeling of uncertainty in the lumber market, with an
_ independent air of. expectancy as to a probable drop
that did not exist at any other point that I had touched
in recent days.

; It got so that I could distinguish these undecided
__—— lumbermen by their abstraction. If I met one of them
‘"? fie ~ looking at the sidewalk or into vacancy, checking off
mental items on his fingers, I only required two guesses
to tell what was working on him. He either had
troubles of his owr at home, or he was a lumberman in
_ the throes of expectation. For choice I accepted the
latter explanation, for this is the time of year and this
the longitude and latitude for Beicenlainty, in lumbering
circles.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Arthur S. Nester

in his elegant offices up in the Majestic Building. With
his brother, Mr. T. Nester, they do a large business in
pine, hemlock, cedar and hardwood lands. They do
nct operate limits, being content to sell the forest and
_ let others do the lumbering. Iam indebted to Arthur
for much informaticn concerning the northern penin-
sula of Michigan. He knows every mile of the

et ha 5 Mr. C. A. Spalding, the well-known Detroit lumber
_ dealer, told me he was going in for the Canada trade.
He already does quite a business with Ontario retailers.

In the Union Trust Building I had the honor of
: ots aw meeting two well-known wholesale lumber dealers,
Mr. ‘Frank C. Bury and Mr. Mason A. Noble. Both
sree these gentlemen are intent upon putting southern

i, active operations again at no distant date. Morley
it - Bros., A. F. Bartlett & Co., United Supply Company,
“ts Tne ‘Mitts & Merrill, and other machinery dealers do quite
pie brisk trade with the lumbermen. This trade is, how-
ever, getting more and more towards Canada.
_ I found Saginaw the same as of yore—wide awake
Ps and progressive—hardly as ‘‘ wide open” as before,
‘ but ‘still full of life. The city is too much spread out
for one to grasp an idea of its real size, and being ona
la t stretch, the: streets are ue and expansive, stretch-

. log far out into the country. Everyone talks ‘lumber in
Saginaw on the least provocation, and all go back with
a yearning sigh to the good old days when the hum of
the saw-mill was heard in the land. Now it is all a
memory—a sweet memory of the past. Saginaw may
even forget that it was once all swamp and pine forest
not many years hence.

It is always a pleasure to meet the “‘ boys” at Sag-
inaw. Lumbermen are nothing if not jovial, and the

. Michigan men have nearly all a cheerful air about
them. To besure I ‘‘ run into”
who was ‘‘ too busy ” to give even an ordinary greet-
ing, but this sort are as scarce as hen’s teeth, and well-
known to the trade.

I had the great privilege of shaking hands with
Michigan’s Governor, General A. T. Bliss, the million-
aire lumberman. He is a genial soul, and from a few
minutes’ conversation Ihad with him on the lumber
trade, I found him avery agreeable gentleman. As
he shook hands he noticed my black cat button, ‘“‘ Ah,
I see you are Hoo-Hoo? I am not one yet, but a
couple of my relativesare.” I hada good notion to
ask Governor Bliss how he viewed the expected mi-
gration next spring of 500 Michigan families to the
Canadian North-west. But I thought that would be
treading on dangerous ground and contented myself
with some facts re the expected exodus. It is expect-
ed that fully five hundred families, numbering over
two thousand souls, principally of French-Canadian
origin, will leave the Saginaw valley in the spring to
settle in Canada. These people have not prospered,
although they are hard-working, frugal and industrious.
The cause is that they prospered in the prosperous
lumber days and when the mills closed down they were
thrown into all kinds of menial labour.

Out at Mershon Station is situated the saw-mill and
piling grounds of Mershon, Schutte, Parker & Com-
pany and the W. B. Mershon Company. The latter,
under the able management of Mr. E. C. Mershon, has
attained world-wide fame for their band re-saws. This
line is their forte, and the name Mershonis a guar-
antee of the best and latest in resawing machinery.
Mr. E. C. Mershon is not only an expert draughtsman,
but an engineer of great ability. His master mind
thinks out and puts into being the very latest improve-
ments which have kept his re-saws to the fore-front.
And, despite his busy life, he is a pleasant gentleman
to meet. I accepted his invitation to dine with him at
the Lumberman’s Club House, and he there showed me
where two companies had copied his machine. In the
first case they had put in the cut of one machine, and
described it by the description of an entirely different
machine ! Inthe other case it was really laughable.
A machine made by the Mershons had a stand made
too low for it, so two blocks of wood were put

under it, and photographed that way. This ma-
chine was copied from one of these photos, and the
two blocks were reproduced in metal onthe imitation !

At the Club House the clerks and stenographers ot
he compinies take their mid-day meal—the ladies be-
ing provided witha separate room. Everything is neat

nd clean, and the cafe isa great convenience to the
staff.

Over at the big Mershon re-saw works I looked at

the sales book. It just indicated 999 band saws sold.
I remarked, ‘‘Why, that’s Hoo-Hoo, isn’t it?’’ The
genial manager smiled and said, “It surely must be !”
: The tendency in the lumber business in Michigan is
rather conservative just now. Mr. Chas. H. Cowles,
one of the very best authorities on the continent, and
who is the able editor of the Saginaw Courier-Herald,
said : “‘Logging operatiuns in Michigan will be on a
smaller scale this winter than usual, owing to trade
conditions, the cost of logging being a big factor in
the calculations.”

Booth & Boyd are still running full blast. The two
Messrs. Boyds are certainly wide-awake. I had the
pleasure of an exhiliarting automobile ride with one of
them, which has since set me wishing I owned one of
the ‘red devils” myself. It was my second ride this
season and the best.

The logs in Spanish River owned by the Michigan
firms when sorted out at the booms totalled an output
of over two hundred million feet. Mr. G. Wall, of
Saginaw, had charge of the boom.

I met President Roys, of the Saginaw Lumber &

would get a moderate stock of logs in this winter, but
not so large as last season. Their mill at Sandwich is
running steadily and the entire output was contracted
for early in the season.

Mr. J. D. Draper, lumber inspector, had just re-
turned from Canada, where he had been looking over
some limits.

Thos. Jackson & Company, of West Saginaw. are
getting considerable lumber from Spanish River and
Cutler, Ont. They use up large quantities of Canada
white pine in their sash and door factory. Their new
factory is a model of neatness.

The Palmerston Woodenware Company will get a
million feet of logs from Ogenan county next season, ~

The coming winter, I was told, is the last season
when there will be any lumbering to speak of on the
Dead River, a stream which in its day has floated
down millions upon millions ot feet of some of the

est pine that has ever been cut in Michigan. Asa
Jumbering waterway it is now on the decline and next
season will witness the end of any operations on a
large scale.

Crawford & Sons, cedar operators at Cedar river,
Menominee county, have had gréat difficulty in getting
men to go to the camps. They have secured nearly
200 Italians and Hungarians from Chicago, having
failed to secure enough men at the Soo. There are
no-more hardy Canadian lumber-jacks to be had even
at a fabulous wage. ;

Although A. F. Bartlett & Co.’s large works at
Saginaw were partially wiped out by fire, I hear they
will shortly rebuild. They have a high place among
the manufacturers of engines, boilers and saw mill
machinery. Their well-known saw mill hogs and
edging grinders are to be found all over the country ~
from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

The Gordon Hollow Blast Grate Company, at
Greenville, Mich., not only make blast grates, but
edgers and trimmers, being one of the largest manu- _
facturies in the world. The Gordon Company have
made Greenville famous.

There are three or four large companies sti!l doing
big business at Bay City and West Bay City,
which, by the way, are two separate and distinct
cities, divided by the Saginaw river. E. B. Foss &
Co. and the Eddy Company, at the former place, have
immense stocks and do a rushing business. Mr. Foss,
I found, to be as genial as ever. The lapse of time
does not seem to leave an impression upon him and he
looks as young and debonair as ever.

Over at West Bay City the Bradley, Miller & Co.'s
mill and yards showed great activity. They handlea
great output in the course of a year.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. W. D. Young, of
Young & Co., one of the largest maple flooring manu- —
facturers in the state. He reports -business as active |
as ever, with large sales.

Handy Brothers and the Wolverine Lumber Company |
seem to be thriving and are likely to push out into
Canada this coming year for sonic of their pine stock.

From Bay City I went south again to Grand Rapids, ~
the great centre of the furniture trade. Grand Rapids
is called the ‘‘ Furniture City,” although ’tis whispered
outside of the city that more furniture is made in
Chicago. Of the truth of this I would not like to
certify. Furniture is written large all over Grand
Rapids and the buzz of the saw is heard on every side.

Mr. Chas. McQuewan, a wholesale dealer in hard-
wood and mahogany veneers, showed me some grand

- specimens of Tennessee oak and Mexican mahogany,

used largely in furniture and piano work.

The Quigley Lumber Company make a specialty of
all kinds of hardwoods and do an extensive trade. The
Engel Lumber Company are also specialists in the
hardwood line as well as large mannfacturers ot hem-
lock lumber. This latter company have mills at Hard-

grove, Sharon, Hewitt Lake and Earl Siding, all in

Michigan.

I had quite a talk with Mr. T. Stewart White, the
affable president of the White & Friant Lumber Com-
pany. Mr. White is one of the pioneer Michigan
lumbermen, and knows all there is to know of the con-
ditions of the lumber market. He is credited with being
the leading spirit in having the two dollar import duty
put upon Canadian lumber, and thus tried to help the
Canucks keep a good thing to themselves.

In the carving and moulding line, the Waddell Manu-
facturing Company, of Grand Rapids, are unsurpassed
in that city. They make some beautiful carved newel
posts and embossed and turned work.

The leading manufacturers of bank, office and saloon
fixtures is the firm of Nachtgall & Veit, who are
designers of special furniture and patterns.

In the machinery line this city ranks high. Among
the more progressive firms are Perkins & Company,
with their famous Columbia heading and _ shingle
machines. The Friction Set Works, Fox Machine
Company, Crescent Machine Works, Tidy & Marshall,
Wilmarth & Morman, American Machinery Company,
Waggoner Watchman Clock Company and the Gillette
Roller Bearing Manufacturing Company are all leading
concerns in their line who are pushing out for the
Canadian trade. Nearly $129,000,000 worth of goods
manufactured in the United States entered Canada
during the fiscal year ending June 3oth, 1903.

A rapid run on the ‘‘ third rail electric line’ brought
me up to Muskegon, on the shore of Lake Michigan:
Here is situated the large mills of Mann, Watson &
Company and the Rodgers Iron Manufacturing Com-
pany, who make an adjustable log siding machine and
a-combination gang edger. In conversation with Mr.
W. F. Chrystal, the obliging secretary of the Rodgers
Iron Manufacturing Company, he showed me hundreds
of testimonials received from users of their machines
in all parts of the United States and Canada. Craw-
ford & Son, at Cedar River, Mich., report that they can
saw over one thonsand ties in ten hours with the
Rodgers machine, and do excellent work, without any
trouble whatever. The Atlantic Shook & Lumber
Company say that the Rodgers adjustable log siding
machine is far beyond their expectations. This com-
pany run 36-inch saws and have no trouble in slabbing
logs up to 20 inches in diameter. They say it is the
best in the world, Geo. Go:don & Co., of Cache Bay,
Ontario, have one of the Rodgers combination gang
edgers and they say it is not only fully up to expecta-
tions, but for sawing small cants it is the most economi-
cal and fastest machine on the market.

Barcus Brothers, of Muskegon, are manufacturers of
circular saws, and do a large lumbering trade.

The Alaska Refrigerator Company at Muskegon
Heights use up great quantities of lumber in a year.
While I wasthere a cargo of 250,000 feet of ash
lumber was brought in from Houghton, Mich.

In conversation with a well-known lumberman he
said :—‘‘ Yes, we are importing Canadian pine, and we
are also importing California pine. But we are also
exporting Michigan hardwood lumber to California and
other states. There have been heavy shipments of
hardwood flooring from the upper peninsula to San
Francisco, and being of slow growth it is valued as the
best the country can produce.”’ He also told me that

A PROGRESSIVE INDUSTRY.

At Galt, Ont., there are some fine manufacturing
plants, turning out machinery second to none in the
world. Among those who are progressive and up-to-
date is the firm of Clark & Demill, manufacturers of
improved wood-working machinery. A visit to the ex-
tensive works of this company by our representative
was taken for the express purpose of viewing the new
machines recently put upon the market and destined
to revolutionize the old-time methods in planing mills
and other wood-working establishments.

The illustration we give represents a No. 24 variable
self-feed rip saw with feeding gear and delivery roll.
As their object is to lead in new and improved machin-
ery, Clark & Demill have designed and built this ma-
chine to meet the requirements of furniture, organ,
piano, buggy and chair factories, planing mills, and
any place where there is a lot of ripping to be done;
it will save its cost over an inferior machine in a short
time.

The frame is of the most substantial construction,
with ample length and width to form a rigid support
for the table and working parts. The table is made of
iron, planed true, and is well braced on under side,
both length and cross ways, and has four anti-friction

Spindle pulley 8” diameter by 8” face.

Tight and loose pulleys 12”x 8%”, and should run
800 revolutions per minute. AP hs

Speed of spindle, 2,000 revolutions per minute.

Bearings and loose pulley are self-oiling. Weight of
machine 2,400 pounds.

Besides this rip-saw, Clark & Demill make an im-
proved power mortising machine, as well asa regular
line of wood-working machinery. We would advise
all those contemplating purchasing to send and get a
copy of the illustrated catalogue giving all the latest
devices known and now used in the leading wood-
working factories of the world.

Cut gears are used on all machinery turned out by
this firm. Their mortising machines are especially

adapted to those who are doing sash, door and blind _

work. One of the largest factories of this kind say
the Clark & Demill machines are the best in the world.

THE B.C, SHINGLE PRODUCTION.
EXETER, ONT., OCTOBER 20, 1903.
EDITOR CANADA LUMBERMAN:

Dear SiR,—In looking over the October number
of THE LUMBERMAN I notice an editorial note in
reference to the over-production of B.C. shingles. In
that article the sympathy seems to be with the manu-
facturer. He certainly should be entitled to all the
blame for the present condition of the trade. There is
another side to the question, namely, the side of the

rollers, two before and two after the saw, for carrying
the lumber. Size of tableis 5’ long and 3° 4” wide,
and will drop for 6” cut. The saw spindle is very
heavy, running in self-oiling bearings, namely, 1 15-16”
x 8”. Where saws go on the spindle is turned down to
1%”. Itis alse provided with multiple collars, per-
mitting a number of saws to be placed at any desired
distance from each other. Will rip 18” wide with the

first saw and 23” wide with last saw, and is adjustable
by sixteenths.

The variable feed can be instantly changed by the
operator from nothing to 200 feet per minute, simply by
moving the lever on side of machine and regulating
the feed just as desired, so that the cut of the saw can
work up to its full capacity, either on the thinnest or
thickest material, on hard or soft wood, without stop-
ping the saw or even the feed of the lumber being saw-
ed, and has feed shaft with toothed steel disc for feed-
ing and plain delivery roller with splitter for discharg-
ing material. Feed is driven with chain and sprocket.
It can also be lifted out of the way and saw used as
hand rip. The device for raising and lowering the
heavy iron table, as well as the device for moving and
locking the fence, are pronounced by mill men to be
simply perfect.

The main table has a sJiding section which can be
instantly withdrawn to allow for use of more than
one saw. No screwing of the table up and down, but
by one movement of the handles shown, the table or
the self-feeding attachment can he raised or lowered to
their full capacity.

retailer, which is of as much importance financially as
that of the manufacturer. The manufacturer waits
upon the retail dealer and puts the matter before him
as follows : ‘‘ Now, B.C; shingles are going to advahce;
you had better place your orders early. We are Satis-
fied that it will save you money to do so.” The retailer
in many cases places his order tor from five to ten car
loads, and in this way the trade is more than supplied.

The manufacturer finds difficulty in dispesing of his_

cut, and as a result drops the price in order to dispose
of his stock. Now, this is where the retailer is
squeezed; he is loaded up at high prices.
the mills compels him to sell for whatever price he can
get, and it is a well-known fact that in many cases he
cannot realize what the shingles cost him,- thereby
suffering a greater loss than the manufacturer.

The B.C. shingle business is the most unsatisfactory ~

part of the retail trade, and unless there can be a more
satisfactory arrangement with the mills, retailers will
be forced to carry much lighter stocks.

There is another complaint the retailer wishes to
bring before the public in connection with the lumber
trade. During the last three or four years prices have
steadily advanced, and perhaps a little more than was
necessary, but we do not object so much to the price
as we do to the lowering of the grades, for every
retailer has found to his sorrow that the grades have
been lowered from five to ten per cent., causing loss to
the retailer and annoyance to the consumer. We are
willing to pay a legitimate price, but demand a
standard grading. a

Yours truly,
J. W. TAYLOR.

bine in Manitoba and the Territories, held an-
other brief session before Judge Richards,
at Winnipeg, _ recently. The counsel
present were Messrs. H. M. Howell, K.C. ;
J. A. M. Aikins, K.C., and Stanley Hough,
representing the Western Retail Lumber Deal-
ers’ Association; and Mr. A. J. Andrews, re-
presenting the complainants. Mr. Andrews
made a statement on behalf of persons claim-
ing to have a grievance, announcing that his
clients, who represented various business in-
terests, did not feel that they should be called
on to bear the expense of proving the exist-
ence of a lumber combine, whose operations
prejudiciously affect the prices of lumber and
prevented certain parties from doing business.
They claimed the expense should be borne by
the government. Inthe meantime he had no
evidence to submit.

On his lordship taking his seat and declar-
ing the commission ready to proceed, Mr. An-
drews rose and said in effect: ‘‘ It is claimed
by the parties I represent that there exists an
organization known as the Western Retail
Lumber Dealers’ Association, composed of
manufacturers, or wholesalers, and retailers,the
first named being honorary, and the last named
the active members. This association only per-
mits a certain number of active members in
towns, according to the amount of lumber sold.
No other person can engage in business with-
out applying for membership, according to the
by-laws of the association. These by-laws, I
understand, have been repealed, but were in
force at the time the commission was appoint-
ed. Under the by-laws the wholesalers re-
fused to sell to dealers not members of the as-
sociation.”

Mr. Aikins pointed out that the by-laws were
not in effect.

Mr. Andrews said he did not know they
were, but they were nevertheless observed.
He claimed that the monopoly of combine in
lumber was as binding to-day in the western
country, Winnipeg excepted, as it ever was.
The manufacturers were permitted to sell lum-
ber to railway and elevator companies but not

to individual non-members, consequently the
people were being compelled to pay tribute to
certain gentlemen who arbitrarily fix prices
without consideration to the cost of production.
Any person selling under their tariff was
promptly crowded out of business. He called
attention to the resolutions of the Calgary and
Winnipeg city councils asking for a commis-
sion and alsoa ruling asto the language of
the commission issued by the government,
which says: ‘‘ We have reason to believe a
combination exists.”

Mr. Andrews further said: ‘‘ My clients are
wholesale dealers, manufacturers and others.
They do not feel it their special duty to present
the evidence to prove the existence of this com-
bine, but are prepared to give evidence if called
upon todo so, and I have, therefore, at this
moment, no evidence to offer. My clients
claim that the burden should be borne by the
government, the same as acriminal prosecu-
tion after the case has been sent up for
trial.”

Mr. Howell—‘‘We'll send this case up for
trial. Mr. Andrews comes here and villifies
people and will not go on to prove his
charges unless he is paid for it by the govern-
ment. The by-laws he refers to are not in
force, and Mr. Andrews knows it. They were
even not in effect when this commission was
appointed ; at least, I am so instructed.”

His lordship—‘‘This commission is here to
receive statements regarding charges to be
proven.”

Mr. Howell—‘‘Are we to prove negatives ?”

His lordship—‘‘No.”

Mr. Andrews—‘“‘If I have villified any
persons I am prepared to prove my statements.
I have letters now in my hand which will
prove what I have said. His lordship may
have them if he desires. My clients, however,
feel that they have no right to bear the ex-
pense of having this evidence produced before
the commission.”

Mr. Aikins—‘‘There is no charge against
the association. Mr. Andrews says he has no
evidence, therefore we have nothing to answer.
It does not appear that we are called upon to
say anything.”

His lordship—‘‘At an adjourned sitting
other people may have some evidence to offer.

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN 3

I have received letters stating that evidence
can be secured in other places in the country.
I have had no particulars as to the nature of
this evidence, and at present I do not know if
I shall be warranted in putting the -govern-
ment to the expense of going to these towns.
It was intimated at the outset that no meet-
ings would be held elsewhere until it was
ascertained what evidence there was to offer
here, but I shall now notify these persons ask-
ing them if they are prepared to adduce any
evidence bearing on the matter under investi- ”
gation, and if they have to arrange to submit it
before the commission.”

Mr. Aikins—‘‘ There is no specific charge
against the association. I would suggest that
when any charges are made against the asso-
ciation their solicitor be notified so that he can
answer them.”

His Lordship—‘‘ The commission issued to
me expresses the belief that a combination
exists, but mentions no parties, though from
what Mr. Andrews has said it might appear
that the association are the parties whom the
the complainants had in view when asking for
an investigation.”

Mr. Andrews—‘‘ Your lordship might report
to Ottawa the views of my clients.”

Mr. Richards-——‘‘I do not intend to report
anything in detail. I shall simply report that
there was no evidence to offer.”

Mr. Howell—‘‘ It must be proven that there
is a combination and that the association is
that combine. The first principle has not been
shown. Surely your lordship does not intend
to go around to hunt up evidence until the
existence of a combine has been proven.”

His Lordship—‘‘ Your remark as to hunting
up evidence is not applicable. I do not intend
to hold any more sittings until it is shown
that there is some evidence to submit or at
least until it be shown reasonably that a prima
facie case can be established. I therefore make
an enlargement for two weeks which should
give ample time for all parties concerned to
arrange their evidence.”

Fire fighting apparatus is worse than useless unless
kept in shape for instant use. Better have nothing
than pumps that, fail just when you need them, and
water tanks and barrels that contain no water.

DRYING WOOD PULP.

Now that the question of the preservation of
wood pulp has been pretty well thrashed out, a
few words on the various methods of storing it
may not be out of place. Every method of
preservation has its advantages and disadvan-
tages, and consequently also its adherents and
opponents, and oae method of storage may,
owing tolocal circumstances, suit one mill bet-
ter than others. The two methods of storage,
however, which are best suited for medium
sized and small mills are either wet storage in
pits or drying the pulp. The great advantage
of wet storage in pits is that the pulp is always,

‘so to speak, fresh and of good colour, and the

fibres always remain supple, a point of no small
value in working it up. Mr. Braun, of Rochs-
burg, has, since 1888, obtained splendid results
from storage in pits, pulp which has been so
stored for upwards of five years appearing as
fresh as if it had only been ground the day Le-
In pit storage, however, it is almost im-
possible to prevent impurities such as sand
etc., from getting into the pulp, as wellas loss
of material; moreover, a medium sized mill
will require quite a considerable number of pits.

“Mills which run a pulp-making plant in addi-

tion to the paper-making machinery, and which
turn out more pulp at a time than they can con-
sume, will find pit storage the best method of
keeping their superfluous material, as it can
always be worked up in the hollander direct.
Where, on the con rary, special stress is not
laid upon having the fibres absolutely fresh, it
is more advantageous to dry the pulp. Many
pulp makers believe that drying pulp requires
expensive apparatus, and prefer to store the
bales of pulp piled up in stacks. In order,
however, to keep the stuff from spoiling, sheds
or other light structures must be provided
which will allow of sufficient circulation of air,
but at the same time keep out light and dust.
Light-structures of this kind will be quite suffi-
cient to keep pulp air-dry, the only thing else
required being some means of suspending the
pulp in sheet torm. A press is not absolutely
necessary; pulp containing 33% per cent. of
dry material can be kept hung up quite easily;
nevertheless the usual wooden rails and paste-
board clips should be used for suspending the
wet pulp, as they give a better grip of the soft
wet sheets, and are not so likely to tear them,

_ The wooden rails between which the wet sheets
ot pulp are held give a good grip along the
whole upper edge of the sheets (which are of
‘considerable weight owing to the large amount
of water they contain), and facilitate the handl-

ing and suspension of the sheets generally.
The uneven contraction of the sheets produced

nay _ by this method of suspension is of no conse-

‘quence in this case.
air-dried may be subsequently piled up in large
’ stacks, and if stored in places from which light

The sheets of pulp thus

and moisture can be excluded: will keep for
years without losing their quality. Sheets of
pulp thus dried dissolve more easily than sheets

which have been squeezed dry in a hydraulic or _

screw press, a circumstance which is frequently
of advantage. Dried pulp should preferably
be put through the edge runner first before
going to the hollander, this being the safest
way to avoid spotting. On the other hand,
where a pulp maker desires to use the dried
pulp direct when water is scarce, so as to cover
loss in production and to enable the stuff to be
delivered wet, the best course is to soften the
sheets beforehand in suitable vessels so that
they can be readily folded together. They are
then doubled up or broken up sufficiently small
togo through the beater engine boxes and
ground up by the grindstones. The dried pulp-
may be fed to presses working fresh pulp, and

if the dried material be added gradually the

resultant product cannot be distinguished from
fresh stuff. The dried pulp may also when
sufficiently soft be fed into the refiner ; this,
however, makes rather more work than the
first method. Mills which use clean well water
in place of clarified river water may also keep
their pulp in a wet state by rolling it up in
thick rolls. A mill in the Rhenish provinces
has kept pulp in this way for over two years
without the least signs of deterioration; the
rolls were just piled up, and not too well venti-
lated either. A point worthy of notice, in con-
clusion, is that pulp should be ground and
washed with as much water as possible, so
as to thoroughly remove vegetable albumen. —

PROPOSED COMBINE OF PULP MILLS.

The question of combination in Scandinavia
is no new thing, but owing to want of loyal —
support previous efforts have ended in failure.
It is essential to the British papermaker, in —
order to meet foreign competition, to obtain
his wood pulp supplies at moderately low
prices, and it is highly desirable that there
should be an absence of serious fluctuation.
The competition among Scandinavian mills
appears to have kept prices down to sume ex- |

Many manufacturers in Norway and Sweden

The total value shows an increase of over
56 per cent., the principal market being the
United States, followed by Great Britain. The
principal Canadian wood pulp mill exporting
to Great Britain is that controlled by the
Chicoutimi Pulp Company, and as many im-
portant contracts are held, it seems that it is
practically left to this concern for the time
being to prove that Canadian wood pulp can
successfully compete with the Scandinavian
product.

B. C., under the direction of H. L. Gibbs, of Traverse
City, Mich., to look into the possibilities for the es-
tablishment of large saw and pulp mills. They had
two cruisers out all summer on the Western Pulp &
Lumber Comany’s limits up the North Thompson river
and branches and are said to be tavorably impressed.

W. A. Bauer, of Vancouver, has completed the survey
of 75,000 acres of spruce and larch timber lands on
Princess Royal Island and is said to be preparing plans
for a large pulp mill to be built by J. J. Palmer, of Tor-
onto, and British capitalists. The entire plant is es-
timated to cost $1,800,000. It is claimed that the com-
pany will be able to ship pulp to Puget Sound and Cali-
fornia and as far east as Winnipeg.

~ John Gray, superintendent of the woods department
of the Sturgeon Falls Pulp Company, states that the
company have commenced the manufacture of pulp and
paper. The plant is designed to turn out 100 tons of
pulp per day, although it will be a few months yet
before this capacity is reached. It is the intention to
manufacture all the pulp into paper at Sturgeon Falls.
Mr. Gray considers that the prospects for the Sturgeon
Falls Company are exceptionally bright, as the pulp
wood is delivered to the mill for less than $2.50 a cord.
The wood is cut about 80 miles up the Sturgeon river,
which is an excellent stream for floating down the logs.

Messrs. H. L. Frank and John Forman, of Montreal,
and Hon. A. E. Spriggs, ex-Lieutenant Governor of
Montana, recently returned from a trip of inspection
up the Jacques Cartier river in connection with their
proposed pulp enterprise. They own 17,000 acres of
black spruce, and in addition have leased 187 square
miles of timber limits from the Government. They
intend to build a pulp plant at the mouth of the Jacques

Cartier river. They will have the best of water power
there, and can easily float the logs dcwn the river to
the mill. It is estimated that 8,000 horse power is
obtainable at the mouth of the old canal, which joins the
Jacques Cartier and St. Lawrence rivers.

Mr. S. Wertheim, of Wertheim & Company, exten-
sive pulp importers, Hamburg, Germany, says con-
cerning the pulp market : ‘‘ The present prices are so
low that they cannot practically go lower ; besides, you
know that low prices always create a larger con-
sumption. Infact, papermakers commence to realize
this, and the market is already somewhat firmer. Of
course it is impossible to say and difficult to predict
when the crisis will be over, this depending upon the
paper production coming up to the pulp production,
To judge, however, from experience in former similar
periods I should venture to say that it will not take
more than one or two years before we can expect
normal and satisfactory prices again.”

A party of seven prospectors, in charge of Noel Hum-
phrey, of Vancouver, recently returned to that city
fromthenorth. They had been up to China Hat making
a survey of the timber limits in that locality and were
acting for a company which purposes building a pulp
mill on what is known as Swanson Bay. According to
Mr. Humphreys, who is the chief engineer of the com-
pany, the mill is to be constructed next spring and will
have a capacity of 170 tons a day. Power will be ob-
tained frnm a fall of water from the mountain side, a
gravitation of 150 feet having been secured for
the purpose. It is intended to manufacture paper as
well as pulp. Another pulp mill is to be erected in the
spring at Bella Coola, a company taving been formed
in Seattle for the purpose.

—One of the reports of surveying parties, summing
up the country lying back from the north shore of Lake

says: It is largely covered with extensive forests of

timber is, as everyone ‘knows, increasing every day, ©
and the market for it is widening ; and rich indeed is —
the country which has boundless resources in these
varieties of woods. In the district of Nipissing, north al
of the Canadian Pacific Railway line, there is estimated ‘"
to ve at least 20,000,000 cords of pulp wood; in the

The Rossendale Belting Company, 59 to 63 Front —
street east, Toronto, has just issued a new Canadian —
catalogue and price list of their “Rossendale” belting,
a copy of which may be obtained for the asking. It
gives, among other things, a number of practical —
reasons for using the M. A. Y. brand of special patent —
edged solid woven belting and a table showing the —
indicated horse-power transmitted by this belting. : F

The American Blower Company, of Detroit, Mich., rc

A novel exhibit at the St. Louis World’s Fair will be
a representation of life in the lumber camps, the plan
of Frank Howard, of Munising, Mich., who has
arranged for its production on the ‘‘Midway’ at the
Exposition. There will be a logging camp, manned

and at stated times the men will be seen at play,among
these sports being the lumberjack’s favorite pastime
of log-rolling. The arrangement of actual life in the
pineries has taken the designer several years to
perfect, and the exhibition promises not only to be
novel, but very interesting as well.

Emery is a mechanical admixture of corundum and magnetite or ‘hematite. :

able printed matter. Kindly mention this paper when
making request and you willthen be sure of receiving
preferred attention.

Nearly every lumberman in the Dominion has a
team or more continually hauling logs or lumber ;
nearly every load must be bound before starting and
nearly always is this done with a sapling or boompole:
In the United States there is in use a patent device
which hooks into the chain and by pulling down a
lever, takes up the slack and binds a dozen times
more tightly than can be done with the best hickory
pole. Being so much more safe, more quickly ad-
justed and easily detached, it has come into quite
common use in that country. Now being introduced
in the Dominion, it will likely meet with a ready sale
and will in time, no doubt, entirely supplant the crude,
old-fashioned binding pole of our forefathers and come
into general use. Being made of iron it should last a
lifetime, and lumbermen generally will do well to

notice the advertisement of this load binder to be
found in this issue. Eugene C. Stacy, Bloomdale, O.,
has control of the Canadian trade.

SUPPLIES FOR THE CAMP.

During the fall and winter months every lumberman
operating in the woods will require to purchase a cer-
tain quantity of supplies for the camps. The best that
is on the market will be found advertised in the Can-
ADA LUMBERMAN. Food supplies, heating and cooking
stoves, moccasins, mitts, cant hooks, logging tools,
axes, snow plows—the most up-to-date manufacturers
of these goods keep an announcement before the lum_
ber trade of the Dominion by using this journal. When
you want supplies communicate with these firms, and
don’t forget to incidentally mention their advertisement.
They will appreciate it, and so will THE -UMBER-
MAN.

UR new? designed “No. 25 Improved Power
O Mortiser is worthy of the attention of all
wood workers interested in the improvement of
- machinery of this class. It is adapted for furni-
£ “ture, cabinet, sash, door and blind work. Itisa
tool we cannot recommend too highly to users of
- this class of machinery. It is simple in construc
tion, easy to manipulate, and rapid in operation.
The Frame is cast in one piece, and cored out,
making it very stiff and strong, and it has a large
base, thus freeing the machine from vibration.
‘Phe Table is long and compound, and is adjust-
able to and from the chisel to suit the position of
the mortise Can also be adjusted for angle
ey mortising. Will drop to receive 12” stock, and
4 * mortise to the centre of 6’. The table is brought
___up to the chisel by foot treadle, thus reducing the
ee strain on the chisel spindle. The treadle is so
—_ compounded that the strain is very light on the
< - tor’s foot. This machine runs with less jar

_-—s Phe Spindle is supplied with our Improved
Automatic Spindle Guide and Chisel Reverser,
which holds thespindle in position without the
use of keys or set screws, and will reverse the
chisel by the action of the table in its down-
ward travel, P :
The Connecting Rod is made of steel, with
brass bushings and steel crank pin.
‘Note tne Advantages: No fric-
be! tion belt to get loose or run off,
which has caused so much trouble

past. ‘The chisel can be reversed
as well when the machine is
standing as when in motion.

ie THE CANADA LUMBERMAN

SUPREMACY IN THE SCIENCE OF FORESTRY,

The United States government, contrary to all pre-
cedent, willl participate ina competitive exhibit at the
World’s Fair in St. Louis. Uncle Sam will have for his
rival the German Empire, which nation’s methods of
forest management are best and most practical is the
problem to be solved by actual demonstration.

Two tracts of land, already partially covered with
trees, anc each about five acres in extent, have been
assigned to the United States and German Govern-
ments, as the laboratory for their tests. ‘The two lie
side by side, so that the visitor may walk through

what the Americans ca!l an §‘‘arbortum”, and observe
all American methods of forestry, and then step across

into what the German designates as a ‘‘forest garden”
and learn the German method.

No trees will be cut from either tract. Rather trans-
planting will be resorted to, and when the Exposition
opens miniature forests, perfect in every detail, with
narrow gravel walks winding in and out, may be seen.
Every tree that thrives in the latitude of St. Louis will
be represented and the specimen can be easily des-
ignated. Attached to each tree will be an aluminum
label on which will be stamped the botanical and com-
mon names.

In one respect the exhibits will be the same. Each
display will embrace practically the same number of
trees and they will be practically of the same varieties.

Here all similarity ceases. The treatment will accord
with the practices in vogue in the respective countries.
In the American arbortum the trees will be planted,
trained, and pruned and treated according to the Amer-
ican idea. In the German forest garden will be repro-
duced, in the miniature, the effects that obtain in the
forests of the Fatherland, and the story of how the
wonderful forests of that wonderful country have been
preserved through ages, and renewal from time to
time, will be told by practical demonstrations.

The exhibits will be in charge of the most expert
foresters to be found in the two countries. Interest
will not center in the exhibits merely because they
represent all that is best in the forestry of both countries,
but because of the practical demonstrations and tests
that will be made every day of the Exposition. ;

Timber and mill owners should get in early.

Buy a Coe Veneer Cutting and Drying outfit and prepare to
supply thin lumber and veneers which have a healthy growing
demand. More money in it than sawing your logs into lumber.

The product is high grade.
The output is great.
The cost of operating and maintenance is reduced toa minimum.

PERFECT SWING SHINGLE MILL

Fitted with our Automatic Trip.

() UR Swing Shingle Mill is all iron and steel and has no

complicated parts to get out of order. The saw
collar can be removed in five minutes, and replaced by an-
other without changing the set of the machine, thus saving
much time when the saw is dull or injured. The machine
is well adapted for cutting shingles, headings, etc. Each
machine is fitted with our AUTOMATIC TRIP, where-
by you get an evenly cut shingle, butt and point alternative,
and, being automatic, requires no attention given to it while

““We used your Portable Woods Baker all last season
with a crew of men in the woods, travelling from
place to place. We found it convenient to handle
and the best steel range cannot beat it in baking,
Itisa perfect baking oven and a success in every
way.
The cooking is not affected by rain or weather and
can be used outdoors or in a tent.”
Yours truly,

a THE LATE MR. E. W. RATHBUN.

Mr. Edward Wilkes Rathbun, president and
‘general manager of The Rathbun Company, of
i: Deseronto, Ontario, was on November 24th
called to his last resting place. His death was
/ lue to heart trouble, following a somewhat
Fe prolonged illness. The management of the
; numerous and varied associate industries of
J ie which he was the head was a vast undertaking
for one man, and his health in late years had
. become greatly impaired by too strict attention
to business. By some of his acquaintances it
is said that he was the victim of

overwork.

Thus endeth a most useful life.
From his boyhood days Mr. Rathbun
was engaged in the building up of
Canadian industries. The loss sus-
tained by his death is felt throughout
the Dominion, while he will be espec-

_ ially missed in the town of Deseronto
____ andits vicinity. One has said of him
that he belonged to a class of men
who have done much to develop this
_ young country industrially while help-
‘ing to raise it to a higher plane of
civilization. He was a captain of
industry, and although of foreign
birthright had become a true Cana-
dian through long residence in this
fair land. He was a public spirited
-_—s mans and a firm believer in the future
greatness of Canada, and was on
____ many occasions influential in promot-
ing public improvements.
a Asa lumberman Mr. Rathbun stood
in the front rank. Commencing
operations when the lumber business
; was inits infancy, his hand guided
the destiny of a most extensive saw-
milling enterprise into channels of
success. Not content with simply
_ sawing the logs into lumber, he in
early life took steps to establish
associate industries, so that the lum-
ber might be further manufactured
ir oe a all the refuse of the mills utilized to the
_ greatest possible extent.
4 ~ Deceased was born at Auburn, N. Y., in
1842, ‘and was the eldest son of the late H. B.
Rathbun, the founder of Deseronto. He was
“educated i in New York, and received his busi-
ness training there in the house of Storm,
Smith & Company, East India merchants. In
: re 1861 he took charge of his father’s enterprises
i ia Millpoint, Ont., near where Deseronto now
stands. The firm name was then H. B. Rath-
bun & Company. In 1884, by special act of
: arliament, it was changed to that of The Rath-
ce Company, and Mr. Rathbun became its
esident and assumed the complete manage-
f the concern. — Fhe company under his

direction became the poineer in many indus-
trial enterprises in Canada, including the roller
process floor mill.

The lumbering and wood-working operations
of The Rathbun Company have grown wonder-
tully, until to-day the company owns about
550,000 acres of timber lands under Govern-
ment license, 60,000 acres of deeded timber
lands, and 7,750 acres of timber rights only.
Mr. Rathbun’s policy has always been to con-

serve the timber, and his economical lumbering
methods have been held up as an example to

to be followed by his confreres. He endeav-
ored to educate the public as to the value of
practical forestry and never missed an oppor-
tunity of emphasizing the necessity of protect-
ing the forests from fire. His sentiments in
this regard were well known, and in 1897 he

was one of five who composed a commission

appointed by the Ontario Government to re-

port upon the subject of restoring and pre-
serving the growth of white pine and other
timber trees upon lands which were not
adapted for agricultural purposes or for settle-
ment. Many of the recommendations contain-
ed in their report have since been adopted by
the Government.

Besides the large saw mills at Deseronto and

Gravenhurst, the company operate at the former
place a sash, door and blind factory, car works
andcharcoal plant, thelatter consuming much of
the waste timber from the mills. The Bay and
Quinte Railway and the Kingston, Napanee
and Western Railway were also built and are
owned by the company, chiefly for the purpose
of transporting their forest products. The
company have branches at Oswego, N.Y.,
London and Glasgow, Toronto, Napanee,
Kingston, Gananoque, Picton, Belleville,
Campbellford, Lindsay and Brockville. The
Canadian Portland Cement Company,
whose works are at Marlbank and
Strathcona, is controlled by the
Rathbun Company. Of these many
enterprises Mr. E. Walter Rathbun,
eldest son of deceased, is now the
acting general manager.

The subject of our sketch was a
prominent member of the Ontario
Lumbermen’s Association and an
influential factor in inducing the On-
tario Government to adopt the manu-
facturing clause respecting timber
which has proved so beneficial to the
province.

many years a trustee of Queen’s Uni-

Mrs. Rathbun and a family of seven
children, E. Walter, Harold McMurrich,

NATIONAL WHOLESALE LUMBER DEALERS’
ASSOCIATION.

Ata meeting of the Board of Trustees of the National
Wholesale Lumber Dealers’ Association, held in New
York on November 12th, it was decided to hold the next
annual meeting at Washington, D.C., the first Wednes-
day and Thursday in March, 1904. Full arrangements
have not as yet been made, but all details have been
left with the executive committee, who have power to
act in the matter. The secretary of the association is

NOTES BY THE WAY.
(By Our Travelling Representative, )

From a trip through Wisconsin 1 came direct to
Chicago, where I found great activity in the yards of
the large wholesalers.

The E. S, Hartwell Lumber Company has been
succeeded by the Herman H. Hettler Lumber Com-

pany. Mr. Hettler is the president, Mr. J. L. Philips
is vice-president, and Mr. Ed. L. Casey the secretary.
The offices, yards and mills of this vast concern are
situated on Elston Avenue, Chicago, with a southern

branch at Tifton, Georgia, and a northern branch at
Midland, Ontario.

his energy and thorough integrity, guided by sound
judgment, has always commanded the respect of the
lumber trade. Mr. Hettler is still a young man and
began his lumber experience when a lad of sixteen.
It was in 1887 that he went into business for himself
with Mr. Hartwell.
possibility of the lumber business, always looking for

He is a man who studies every
improvement. The secretary of the company is the
energetic Edward L. Casey, who began his business
career with the Hartwell Company and is peculiarly
adapted to hold this office. The yards are very ex-
tensive and at the head of deep water navigation on
the Chicago river, where vessels are readily loaded or
unloaded. The Hettler Lumber Company carry a
stock of lumber at all times of from 25,000,000 to
35,000,000 feet, and are able to supply almost every-
thing on the white pine list. In addition they are
heavy handlers of Norway bill stuff and hemlock, yel-
low pine, cypress and hardwoods. They are heavy
dealers in and manufacturers of Canadian white pine
lumber.

I had a pleasant visit to the offices of Houston &
Curtis, situated in the magnificent Marquette Building,
on Dearborn street, Chicago. There I had the pleas-
ure of meeting the head of this progressive and up-to-
date company. They are not only Jarge manufac-
turers but wholesale dealers in all kinds of wagon,
carriage and implement wood stock, hardwood lumber
and box boards. They make a specialty of supplying
axles, bolsters, reaches, tongues, sawed felloes,
spokes, hubs, singletrees, yokes, wheels, shafts, etc.,
and enjoy a continental trade with a reputation for
fairness and right dealing that holds their customers
permanently.

Up at 463 West 22nd street I visited the works of
the National Hoist and Machine Company, of which
Mr. Parker is manager. This company manufacture
derricks and hoisting engines for use around lumber
mills or lumber yards. They also manufacture hooks,
chains, sheaves, stump pullers, wire and cable
stretchers, etc. The renowned ‘Parker’ derrick is
one of the very best known machines for the handling
of timber and lumber, while its simplicity makes it
cheap and within the reach of every lumber dealer.

From the ‘‘Windy City” I went to Elgin, Illinois,
where the American Tower & Tank Company have re-
cently established their works. This company make a
specialty of supplying water towers and tanks to lum-
ber mills and yards.

It was quite a journey from Elgin to Indianapolis.
Here the Long-Knight Lumber Company have their
headquarters. They are large manufacturers and
dealers in hardwood lumber, making a specialty of
cypress. Mr. W. W. Knight is the president of the
company and Mr. J. M. Pritchard secretary, both
well-known to the world’s lumber trade. They handle
Mississippi oak and ash for export and the home trade.
They cater to the furniture factories, planing mills and
wagon manufacturers.

The Indiana Lumber & Veneer Company are one of
the largest manufacturers of quartered oak veneer
(sawed and sliced) in the world. A. K. Hollowell is
the president of this company and O. M. Pruitt the
manager and secretary. The capacity of their mills
iS 100,000 feet per diem, and when I was there they
were running full capacity, night and day. In the
factory there is a gigantic “‘slicer,” six veneer ma-
chines and two band mills. In the extensive yards
and sheds is probably the largest stock in America,
from which they fill orders to all parts of the globe.
In the stock I saw immense logs of hardwood up to 5

feet in diameter. In a very cleverly written illustrated

TIMBER FOR BUTTER BOXES.

Mr. J. S. Larke, Canadian Commissioner at Sydney,
New South Wales, writes: ‘‘ There has been some
little concern as to getting supplies of timber tor butter
boxes, but an enquiry has shown that the supplies of
white pine from New Zealand are likely to last for
some years yet, though the price has gone up and is
likely to be maintained. When this timber is done the
spruce of British Columbia is the best substitute. The
prejudice against spruce has not been Overcome, and
the price here is too low to induce British Columbia

timber exporters to place a well seasoned parcel on
the market just yet.”

AUTOMATIC BELT TIGHTENER,

A correspondent of Power says: Iam now
using a tightener arranged ‘n the manner shown
by the sketch, which I believe is doing all that
could be reasonably expected of a belt of this
size. The belt rubber
belt, 49 feet 10 inches long, running off a 44-
inch driver onto a 1734-inch driving pulley.
It drives a 54-inch rotary saw, 625 revolutions,
cutting Alaska red spruce. Frequently the
saw is buried the whole cut without the least
sign of slipping of the belt. When the saw is.
out of the cut, the weight that the tightener

applies to the belt is about 20 pounds. When
the duty required brings the top and bottom
sides within 4% inches of each other under the

‘tightener pulley, the weight applied to the belt

by the tightener equals about 130 pounds.

Of course, the length of the tightener frame,
the standard that carries the weighted box, and
the weight placed in the box, governs the pro-
portion of weight placed on the belt at different

weight, and very often belts are too tight. I
place my belt loose enough to give 4 to 5 inches
sag in 10 to 12 feet to center, or, in other
words, 5 inches sag to a belt when the centers

of the two shafts are 24 feet apart.

I have seen tighteners placed on or under a ~
belt, then a lever used to pry up and block up —
until the belt would almost ring if hit. Such ;
tension takes the spring and life out of a belt, iF
and its only friend is the belt manufacturer; it eh
never gives a belt a rest. Place your belt i"

will surely give satisfaction every time. Con- — i
struct your tightener frame so that if the belt tel
doesn’t run squarely on the pulley the frame . wie, |
can be moved Slightly one way or the other, flan
and the belt will run true. . ae

There are right and wrong ways to run a Dh
tightener on a belt. For instance, take the
tightener shown and turn it around, and the
first time it goes down it will be very liable to!)
break something—that is, if it is fastened prop-_ Ane
erly. By placing the tightener about 4 inches * init
from the driven pulley and having belt slack so :
there will be about 5 inches sag in the center He
of the belt in, say, 10 to 12 feet, when the strain
comes on the belt the tightener drops, as shown
by the dotted lines. This gives a greater per- i
centage of belt grip on the pulley just at the
time it is required, and when the load is thrown
off the tightener is at once brought back andl
the strain released.

LOGGING OPERATIONS THIS WINTER

Reports from Different Sections of the Dominion indicate a General Curtailment.—Cost
of Taking Out Timber Steadily Increasing and Labor Scarce.

The following communications to the Can-
ADA LUMBERMAN show the extent to which
logging operations are being carried on this
winter. It will be observed that with few
exceptions a policy of curtailment is being
pursued.

PLAYFAIR & WHITE, Midland, Ont.: We do not
think that the logging operations: in our district this
season will be quife as heavy as last year. The cost
if anything will be a little more, as labor is even rather
higher than what it was then, and the quality of the
men poorer. There is alse quite 4 shortage of labor,
which will interfere with the production. We also
think there are a few more logs left over at the dif-
ferent booms than last year, which may account for
operators not putting in quite so much.

THE PEARCE Company, Marmora, Ont. : The past
year has been the best in our history. Labor has been
scarce, however, and wages high, but indications
seem to point towards a better supply this winter.
Very little is being done in the woods in the immediate
vicinity, and we have the field practically to ourselves.
Good men are hard to find and shanty supplies are
high.

Gro. G. GLADMAN, Parry Sound, Ont.: As far
as I can learn the stock of log taken out this season
will be from 25 to 30 per cent. less than last season,
owing to the scarcity of labor and the high rate of
wages. Many camps in this district have only got
their full complement of men within the past two weeks
and have not half the quantity on the skids at the pre-
sent time that they usually have at this time of the year.

JOHN CaREw, Lindsay, Ont. : The lumbermen in
this locality are not taking out as heavy a stock this
season as last. This is due partly to the high wages
and to the scarcity of men, that is, good bush men.
The cut will not be as heavy this season as last.

JOHN FENDERSON & Company,
Prospects are very
operations and we think the cut this year will be as
great as last year. The cost of the logs will be about
the same as last year. Men seem to be more plenti-
ful in this vicinity this year but wages are the same.

THE ALEXANDER GIBSON RAILWAY AND MANv-
FACTURING COMPANY, Marysville, N. B.: As far as
we know the cut of spruce, pine and cedar will be
about the same as last season and the cost per
thousand will be from $1.00 to $1.50 per thousand
greater, caused by increase of stumpage, increased
cost of provisions, hay, oats, etc., and last but not
least the very great increase in lumbermen’s wages.

M. BRENNAN & Sons M’rc Co., Hamilton: Weare tak”
ing out this coming season about the same amount of
logs as last year. The wages are about 5 to Io per
cent. higher. We would judge that if there is favorable
weather during the,drawing season the output of logs
in our vicinity will be about the same as last year.

Sayabec, Que. :

THE KNIGHT BROTHERS Company, Burk’s Falls, Ont.:
Weare not in a position to speak any further than
with regard to our immediate locality, regarding which
we would say we consider there may be rather more
taken out than last year at about the same or slightly
less cost. The peculiar conditions connected with log-
ging in our immediate locality are that there are no
Jarge stocks of pine left to be taken out, nothing but
the hardwood and hemlock, with a little spruce.

J. R. Bootu, Ottawa: Logging operations are prob-
ably being as extensively carried ‘on, inso far as the
number of camps operating is concerned, this season as
last on the Ottawa river, but because of the scarcity ot
men most of the camps thus far this season have been
running short handed, and unless the remainder of the
season continues exceptionally favorable for cutting the

favorable for a good winter's |

output will not reach that of 1902-3. I have just now
about succeeded in filling up my camps with workmen.
Ordinarily in the past this has been accomplished be-
tween the ist and 15th of October. The cost is bound
to be much in excess of last season (which was by far
the most expensive in my lumbering experience). I shall
not ve surprised if the cost of logging this season ex-
ceeds that of 1902-3 by 20 per cent., increased cost of
labor contributing nearly the entire advance.
Sth Sr

T. CROCKETT, Riviere-du-Loup Station, Que. :
The lumber operations in this vicinity are on about a
par with last year, that is, the cut will be about the
same. The cost, however, I figure will be about 10 per
cent. greater than last year, owing to the increased
wages and the cost of supplies. The snowfall, how-
ever, has an important bearing on the cut; if we
should have an unusually heavy fall of snow early it
will curtail the cut somewhat. There is about
40,000,000 feet of last year’s logs hung up on the
streams for want of water ; so, with good driving
next spring there will probably be 30 per cent. more
lumber go to the market next year than went this.

THE RaT PorTAGE LuMBER Co., Rat Portage, Ont.
Present indications are that logging operations this
winter will be even more extensive than those of last
season. The weather has not been particularly favor-
able for getting out supplies, but in all cases sufficient
have been sent in to last until the ice is fit for sleighing.
Men are much more plentiful than last winter and of a
better class. Wages are practically the same as last
year, probably a little lower if anything. About one
hundred million feet of logs will be banked for the Rat
Portage mills, besides half a million ties and a large
quantity of poles and piling for the C. P. R.

E. GARROW, Crown Timber Agent, Webbwood,
Ont. : Regarding logging conditions in my agency,
I beg to say the existing conditions are much the same
as they were at this time last season. Men have been
very scarce and the average wages somewhat higher
than last season. Reports invariably come in with the
proviso, “If we can get men.” Men, however, have
got more plentiful within the past ten days, and now, as
a great deal of the cutting is yet tv do, very much de-
pends on the kind of winter we get ; if we have a
moderate amount. of snow, so that cutting can proceed,

the estimated output of the various lumbering firms ©

may be fully realized, but should there be a great
amount, it will interfere with the cutting, and conse-
quently the estimates may fall short.: From present
indications the output in my agency, the eastern divi-
sion of Algoma district, will be in the neighborhood
of one hundred and thirty million feet B. M. This isa
large cut for the extent of territory, but it is from 15 to
20 per cent. less than last season’s cut, which was ab-
normally large, and somewhat smaller than the
season before, which was also a large one. The cause
of the decrease is owing principally to the fact that a
number of firms cut out their limits last year and re-
moved to other parts.

CHEW Bros., Midland, Ont.: While we believe
that the operations are not this year generally so ex-
tensive as last year, in our particular case we are do-
ing more. Our cut last season was less than 2,000,000
feet. This season we anticipate having from six to
seven millions. We have not experienced the same
difficulty in securing men for our camp labor this fall
as we did last, although we think the average wage
per month will be about the same. We are operating
in the Township of Creighton, which is reached by the
Manitoulin and North Shore Railway, running in about
fourteen miles from Sudbury.

E. I. WuiTE & Son, Sand River, N. S.: Logging
Operations will be on a larger scale in this vicinity than
usual on account of very destructive foresc fires last
June. Probably in the vicinity of 30,000 acres in this
immediate vicinity were burned over. It is improbable

NADA LUMBERMA

Meo ert S : ar
that there will be any more stock for the Engl sh mar-

ket, but more stock for the United States, as operators
will cut smaller timber. The cost will probably be
more per thousand than last year.

W. C. Epwarps & Co., Rockland, Ont. : It is our
opinion that a less quantity of lumber will be taken
out on the Ottawa the coming winter than the past
winter, and there is one thing we know as an absolute
certainty, that it will be taken out at an enormously
increased cost.

PEMBROKE LuMBER Co., Pembroke, Ont. : We con-
sider the logging operations in this district to have ex-
perienced very favorable conditions, as we have had a
very excelled fall, but labor was very scarce in the first
part of the season, which has handicapped us some. At
present we have sufficient men in the woods, and on the

whole expect that we shall have a very good season. We ©

expect to get cut about twice the number of logs we
took out last year, but we do not think this is the case

with most of the firms, owing to the labor market. There

will be a small additional cost in operating all over this
district, owing to the small amount of work to te ob-
tained from the men as comgared with former years.

E. J. Darsy, Crown Timber Agent, Ottawa: [tis

a little too early to give definite information, as the
assistant rangers are not yet at work, but from present
appearances the output will be about the same as last

season should the weather conditions continue favor- _

able. The cost of production per thousand will be
slightly higher than last season, owing to provisions
and wages being higher.
Temiscaming line of railway that are for sale on gth

Should the limits along the —

of next month be operated on this season the produc- Co

tion of square and waney timber will show an increase
ee
from last season.

THE GEORGIAN Bay LUMBER COMPANY, Waubau-

shene, Ont.: So far as we are able to judge the cut of —

logs this season will be much less than last season, and
the cut last season was not large. This is chiefly
brought about by the condition of the labor market,
which is most unsatisfactory. Men are very unsteady
in their work, and will not in many cases try to doa
fair day’s work though they receive high wages. They
appear to prefer travelling around from place to place
to being steadily employed. Horses, as well as_
supplies of all kinds, are high. The timber supply is —
getting further away from the mills, and this adds

greatly to the expense of taking it out. We would not —

be surprised to find that this season’s output of saw
logs was one quarter less than last season.

THE CLEVELAND-SARNIA SAw MILLs Co., Sarnia,
Ont. : In our Iccality we find the conditions of lumber-
ing practically the same as last year. Wages are
running about the same. In some cases operators are
offering from $1.00 to $2.00 per month more than last
year. We find it not as hard to secure men for the
woods this year as last, but do not think that they are
quite as good a class of men as the average last year.
We are having more or less difficulty in getting ex-
perienced teamsters and hook men. We cannot see
that the cost of logging w.li be reduced any this year
from last. Taking it on a whole, we do not think that
there will be quite as many logs put in this year.

H. CarGIL1 & Son, Cargill, Ont: Logging operations
in this section do not commence until snow comes, and
the output altogether depends upon the length and
steadiness of the weather during winter. We do not
anticipate that there will be as much as usual put into

the mills this year. Menare very scarce and wages |

higher than ever before in this section.

AN OTTAWA VALLEY MANUFACTURER: Our logging —
operations on the whole will be less than last ‘year. |

Wages nave been abnormally high, and what is even

worse, the class of men as a rule are very inferior, __

many boys or very young men who under regular con-
ditions would not be hired at all. Supplies are also
very high, all of which is going to greatly aftect the cost
of production, and as to labor the number of logs. We
think that the output will be considerably less than in
1903. I speak for the Ottawa Valley in particular.
Prices of lumber are very firm, stocks on hand unsold
are very small, wich us smaller than usual. Owing to.

» the greatly increased cost of production prices must
advance if lumbermen are to make anything, or else
manufacturing be curtailed. Ottawa mill men have de-
cided that they must have an advance of from 12 to 15
per cent. for deals. Considering the cost of stumpage,
enormous extra cost in producing the log, and also
considering that the largest and best logs only are
taken for deals and to make a very reasonable return
to the manufacturer, this advance would be rather un-
Py ' der than over the mark.

r,

Tue C. Beck Mrc. Co., Penetanguishene, Ont:

__.__ Our operations will be on about the same scale as last

year, or perhaps a little larger. We were handicapped

‘a a little the early part of the cutting season for lack of

men, but are now in a better position, and expect to

__ get our full stock out. As a rule, we think operations
have been curtailed somewhat this season.

A GrorGian Bay MANuFacTuRER: So far as we
ai are concerned We went into the bush earlier than usual
but have not so many logs skidded as last year at this
time. Men have been hard to get and since the wages
_ got so high they do less work, the result being stocks
are costing too much to get vut. The mill men should
early in the fall fix the wages and not be bidding
against each other; this kind of thing makes men un-
easy and they are continually jumping from
_one camp to another, which means expense
> to the lumbermen..

OTTAWA VALLEY MANUFACTURER: Wages
nf have advanced 20 per cent. and this will
affect cost of hay and oats, as the greater
part of the cost of these to us is the hauling
\s from railway. Other supplies about as last
year. We are only doing about 75 per cent.
of last year’s business owing to increased cost,
and trying to work only our own horses and
not uge any hired ones. Think these con-
ditions are general in this district.

Tur Hansury MANUFACTURING Co., Bran-
don, Man.: So far this winter has been very
favorable for our logging operations. We
have plenty of snow now for skidcing and
hauling, although we have not yet started
a hauling. Men are plentiful and wages are

inclined to be lower. We are paying from
$20 to $30 and think that the average will be

$24 or $25 per month and board. The wages
“a on the American side will average about $22
a per month this year, which is the cause of
ns men being plentiful here. We hope to take out a large
bs _ cut this year.

s THROUGH WISCONSIN.
: (By OuR TRAVELLING REPRESENTATIVE).
i Wisconsin has lost her supremacy as the leading
__—-— white pine producing state, and this honor now lies
od with Minnesota. In fact, Wisconsin is being rapidly
' cut out.
Although most of the timber around Marinette had
-__—sibeen cut years ago, Marinette lumbermen will enjoy
. the experience of again seeing logging this winter.
: Gagnon & Dumville have contracted to put in 2,000,000
“ feet near Goll, Wis., and the logs will be hauled and
dumped into the Menominee river just a mile from the
oo” city limits of Marinette. -
The following word-picture of the life of the lumber-
man, which I saw in the Eau Claire Leader, preseats
current conditions in Wisconsin :—‘‘Never forget early
habits is a net which entangles us all more or less in its
mesh, and what’s bred in the bone won't come out of
the flesh. The pioneers of the lumber industry in Mich-
. ‘jigan and Wisconsin came from the state of Maine,
- where lumbering constituted the chief industry of the
people. These men created a mighty empire in the
north-west which is now crumbling awa’y owing to the
disappearance of the pine. Most of them have made a
_ decent competence and could retire from business but
a: that would not suit. They love the smell of turpentine
too well, so they take up timber limits on the Pacific
_ slope and erect new mills. Nearly all of the great
lumber concerns are purchasing limits in Washington
and some are already moving their plants there. The

men; They will follow up until they get the last tree.
Weil, why not? In this respect, how do the lumber-
men differ from men in any other line of business ?”

Out in Wisconsin a certain justice some time ago
vacated his office, moved into the country and siarted
dealing in timber lands. This industry having petered
out he tried selling lumber, but says he could get none
to sell, Then becoming disgusted, he moved back to
his old office last spring and was re-elected. Under the
heading ‘‘BACK FROM THE Woops’ this is the advertise-
ment he had in the papers :—‘‘All those persons who
may wish to get married or arrested, or if out of a law
suit and want to get in, or if already in and wish to get
out, please walk up the stairs of the Unionblock. The
expense in either case is about the same, and in many
instances the results bear a strange similarity. Charges
reasonable in any event.”

At Oshkosh I visited the great sleigh and wagon
works of A, Streich & Bro. and Gabriel Streich. The
latter makes a specialty of logging carts and sleighs,
logging wagons and trucks, doing an immense business
in this line.

The town of Phillips turned out to see the big load of
logs which was brought in from Camp No. 2 of John
R. Davis Lumber Company, of which Joe Hunter is
foreman. The load was expected in the afternoon but

did not arrive until late inthe evening. The delay was
caused by having to clear out the trees which stood too
near the road and in getting up one large hill where it
required thirteen teams to pull it. This great monster
of a load was loaded by Joe Hunter and John Murphy
and consisted of 114 logs, which scaled 16,860 feet. — It
was a marvelous piece of work and one wonders how
they got them there, as the load was all of 20 feet high.
This gigantic load of hemlock was hauled a distance
of twelve miles by four horses which were driven by A.
LaFontain, except up cne or two hills where more
horses were required. On one of these hills it required
twenty-six horses. The sleighs were made by Gabrie
Streich, of Oshkosh, and carried a twenty foot bunk,
so that the base of the load was about fifteen feet wide.
While this is not the largest load ever hauled in this
vicinity, yet it is the largest ever hauled so great a dis-

Gabriel Streich’s sleighs.

At Fond du Lac I visited the immense works of the
B. F. & H. L. Sweet Company, who make lumber
wagons and sleighs. This firm has a splendid reputa-
tion, not only in Wisconsin but throughout the north-
west, for the work they put out. Their patent lumber
wagon is a new thing and merits attention, as one man
can unload a heavy load of lumber ,inside of two min-
utes without unhitching or uncoupling. The bed is
provided with a main roller, pinions and crank; this
roller is fitted with vanes or ribs which do not injure
thelumber. There are also two smooth rollers to supple-
ment the main roller. By turning the crank the load is
moved baok until it balances on the hind axle, when
the bed with the load tips, allowing the back end to

strike the ground. The driver then starts up his team
and the wagon moves out from under the load easily,
the bed forming an inclined plane, down which the for-
ward end of the load slips untilit reaches the ground,
thus avoiding any drop whatever. As there is no jar, the
lumber is left on the ground in just as good order as if
piled with the greatest care. The Sweet Company
also make a patent buck-board. I had the pleasure of
sitting in one of these and must say it is a capital one
for use of hunters, lumbermen, cruisers or surveyors.
Other high grade vehicles made by this company in-
clude lumber buggies and trucks, haul-off and dump
wagons, slab and saw-dust carts, etc. We present in
this number a cut of one of the logging sleighs.

At Milwaukee there was nothing doing on Lake
Michigan except the cargoing of lumber. The lumber
trade, I was told,was the only encouraging feature of
lake commerce. Many of the owners of lumber vessels
recouped the losses they had incurred owing to the
previously dull season. Large quantities came in from
the Georgian Bay region to the lower lake ports. Mil-
waukee and Chicago are getting a lot of Canadian
pine and seventeen vessels arrived in Chicago in one
day lumber-laden. This I believe was a record day.

On account of the dullness and uncertainty in the
building trades the heavy dealers in lumber have been
very slow to stock up. The lack of demand
has enabled the Chicago yards to make
heavy purchases to hold for future demands.
The Report of the Bureau of Statistics, De-
partment of Commerce and Labor, for Septem-
ber contains an interesting review of the in-
ternal commerce of the United States, a
feature of which isa statement of the receipts
of lumber at ports on the great lakes for the

first eight months of the year. Milwaukee
does not rank high in the list.

The top notch in Jumber shipments for the
season was reached at Ashland, when a fleet
of twelve vessels, loaded with 12,700,000
feet of lumber, left the port on the same day. Eight
of them went to the lower lakes and four to Lake
Michigan.

At Milwaukee I had the great pleasure of meeting
Mr. Frank N. Snell, one of the city’s well-known lum-
bermen. He gave me a pleasant day’s visit to the city
and made me acquainted with many of the lumber
“kings.” Frankis a real good soul, which accounts
for his being Senior Hoo-Hoo. Everyone in the lumber
liné knows him and they all expect he will be Snark of
the Universe at St. Louis next year.

I also met Mr. C. C. Johnston, who is treasurer of the
South Arm Lumber Company. This company operates
at Marquette, Mich., owning mills and timber lands in
that vicintity.

The American Hardwood Lumber Company, of Mad-
isofi, are one of the large concerns in the interior. I
met the genial vice-president, Mr. W. S. Heddles, who
said the company were well satisfied with the season’s
work.

Racine was formerly a lumber shipping point, but
very little goes out now, and more goes in. From this
point I went direct to Chicago, passing Dowie’s famous
Zion City. As we approached the place I noticed an
enormous sign-board labelled “‘ZION CITY—Northern
Boundary.” The city is assuming metropolitan propor-
tions, and although people may talk of Dowie and his
methods, he has a clean, beautiful town. As I passed
I noticed on signs ‘‘Zion City Planing Mill” and “Zion
City Lumber Yards,” both of which, I was intormed,
were owned and run by the Zionists.

Running into Chicago by the North-western line one
is impressed by the great floating population of Chicago,
which ebbs back and forth into the great city. Com-
muters trains by hundreds take the toilers to their sub-
urban residences. On the way in I passed a ‘Daily
MilkExpress,” consisting of fifteen refrigerator cars
laden with fresh milk brought over a hundred miles to
help feed Chicago,

DEVELOPMENT OF THE HARDWOOD
TRADE,

The status of the Canadian hardwood

re lumber trade is not by any means all that
might be desired. Manufacturers have been

able to dispose of their output, and in most

margin of profit, but neither the manufacturers
nor the community at large have realized the
full measure of benefit from the cutting of the
timber. Too much of it has been exported in
a semi-manufactured condition instead of being
worked up into the smaller stuff for which there
is such a large market in Great Britain and
elsewhere. So great is the demand for this
class of material that a number of importing
Vet firms have sent representatives to this country
solely for the purpose of reporting upon the

i ees a

2 possibility of obtaining supplies here. From per-
sonal conversation we know that some of them
have been disappointed and have so reported.

; And why? Not that there was an insufficient
quantity of hardwoods to be found, but because

me the hardwood trade did not seem to be organ-

ized as it should be; there was no uniformity

‘h in prices; no association to demand recognition
ae for the hardwood trade ; and no uniform rules
$A for grading the lumber. Every manufacturer
af makes his own grade and his own price, and
“¢ frequently these are so wide apart as to cause
Suey astonishment to the Canadian buyer, not to

speak of the Britisher who is not familar with
our methods.

Contrast these conditions with those which the
buyer finds when he steps across the line. A
National Hardwood Association for the entire
country; uniform prices at all the leading
centres, and rules of inspection which are
recognized from north to south and from east

to west. Is it any wonder that business

instances, in late years at least, at some °

originally intended for us is placed with our
neighbors ?

How to remedy the existing conditions is a
problem diffcult of solution. There are a vast
number of small hardwood mills widely
scattered throughout the Dominion, making it
almost impossible to organize them. Perhaps
the best that could be done would be to form
provincial associations and adopt standard
inspection rules. This in itself would be of
great benefit to the hardwood industry, and
doubtless it could be accomplished if a few of
the leading manufacturers would only take the
matter up.

: THE LOG INPUT.

For some years the lumber business has en-
joyed prosperity and the country at large has
been benefitted by the increased activity.
Manufacturers, store-keepers and business
firms generally have shared the profits with
the timber operators and saw mill owners.
That the lumber business may continue to
prosper is mucho be desired, for no branch of
manufacturing exerts a wider and more potent
influence upon industrial. conditions. In the
interest of such desire, it is sincerely to be
hoped that the threatened reduction in the in-

put of logs this winter may be realized. Vol-

ume does not mean profit, and there are rea-
», sons why a curtailment should be the policy
pursued.

., There is no denying the fact that the United.
_* States is at the present time passing through a

period of industrial: depression. How, long it
may continue and whether it shall become
more serious are questions which no person
' can answer with any degree of certainty, but
it was only reasonable to expect some-reaction
after the high tide of prosperity which has pre-
vailed for the past two or three years in the
- United States and to a lesser extent in Canada.
While prices of lumber have not yet receded to
any extent, there will no doubt be a readjust-
ment provided the industrial depression con-
‘tinues for any length of time. Nor can it be
argued with reason that this country would es-
cape the effects of bad times across the line.
' Further, the owner of standing timber has in
it an asset which is gradually increasing in
value. It is not necessary that he should turn
it into the manufactured product in order to in-
crease He should remember that
the supply is not inexhaustible and that the
timber does not reproduce itself excepting at
long intervals. In that respect it differs from
many other materials which furnish the raw
product of the manufacturer, such as cotton,
wheat, corn, etc.

Elsewhere in this issue will be found letters
from several manufacturers telling of their pro-
posed logging operations.
age dues and excessive cost of labor and pro-

its value.

Increased stump-

visions are prime factors in the decision of
Apart from these
items of expense, the cost of logging is much
greater than afew years ago. Although the
bushman is paid a much higher wage he is dis-
posed to work more leisurely and does not ac-
complish some say within 50 per cent. of as
much work as the woodsman of ten years ago.

many to reduce their cut.

The fact that much of the timber adjacent to the

_ streams has been cut is another factor which

increases the cost of getting logs to the mill.
From present appearances there will be no
over-production of logs this winter, a condition
which is much to be desired, for a continuation
of production in the same ratio as in the past
two or three years might place lumbermen in
an unenviable position should there be a mark-
ed falling off in consumption. 2

UNFAIR COMPETITION.

The vigorous steps that were taken about
two years ago by the lumber manufacturers of
British Columbia to secure the imposition ofa __
duty on United States lumber coming into
not wishing to disturb the prosperous condi- — "
tions then prevailing. Since that time very
little has been heard of the matter, but certain
interests have been working quietly with the
object of strengthening their position and
making another effort for a duty at an oppor-
tune time. This time has now arrived, and it
is some satisfaction to learn that it is proposed
to put up another determined fight to gain —
some protection for the lumber business. .

The productive capacity of the mills of
Canada has been greatly ‘increased within the
last three years. This applies more particu-
larly to the province of British Columbia, where
many new mills of large capacity have been
erected. The spirit of progress has, we fear,
not always been tempered with wisdom. In
too many instances investments have been
made in lumbering enterprises ,without due
consideration of the prospects'for a ‘remuner-
ative business when times should become less
prosperous, a condition which was almost
certain to arise. It may be said, however,
that in the expected future development of
Manitoba and the North-West Territories
there was sufficient ground td encourage in-

market.

A growth of industrial establishments is to
be desired, but when such growth exceeds the
requirements of the available market a policy
of retrenchment should be pursued until
natural laws bring about a change in condi-
tions. The combined capacity of the British
Columbia mills catering to the car trade is
estimated at 800,000,000 feet of lumber and
800,000,000 shingles per annum, while the
present consnming capacity is about 600,-
000,000 feet of lumber and 500,000,000
shingles. It is plainly evident that production
has increased at too rapid a rate and that
some steps must be taken to limit the output.
The situation has been intensified, moreover,
by the fact that United States mills, being un-
able to dispose of all their output in that — a
country, are using the Canadian market as a
dumping ground for their surplus products, he
even offering them below the cost of produc-
tion. This competition is encouraged by the — ud
Dominion Government, which has so far
retused, or neglected, to place an import duty __
on United States lumber and thus place the —
Canadian manufacturer on an equal footing
with his confrere across the border. a og

The United States manufacturer has also aa ee:

on account of a lower freight rate. The rate
from the British Columbia mills west ot the

mountains is forty cents per hundred, and
from the mills in the eastern part of the pro-
vince thirty-three cents. Most points in
Manitoba can be reached by the Minnesota
mills on a sixteen cent rate.

Unless some protection is afforded by the
____ government, the lumber industry of Canada is
_ © likely to suffer to a considerable extent during
Le - any period of commercial and industrial de-

pression which may occur in the United States,
__and there are now some indications that such

__ diminished, while no doubt we would suffer
a severe competition in the home market on
account of there being no duty as a protection.

land did not compare in quality with that in
Canada, a consideration which it was surmised
had determined Mr. Miller to withdraw from
that field. How far this is correct may be
judged from the fact that within the past
month he has purchased an extensive timber

is said, of carrying on lumbering operations on
a large scale. He is also reported to hold

nize the wisdom and necessity of protec.ing
our forests from fire. The Canadian Forestry
Association is doing splendid work in diffusing
information along this line, and it is a very
great pleasure to the CANADA LUMBERMAN to
learn of the financial assistance which has been
rendered the association by the various Cana-
dian governments. The money so granted
will no doubt prove a profitable investment.

The sale of timber limits to be held by the
Ontario Government on December gth has
aroused not only a Dominion but an inter-
national interest. Ontario lumbermen will not
alone be the bidders for the valuable areas of
pine timber, as applications for maps and con-
ditions of sale have been received by the gov-
ernment from many outside parties. The de-
cision to extend the time allowed for cutting
the timber from ten to fifteen years is doubtless
a wise step. The fixing of a period of ten
years in which to cut the timber on such a

vast territory would be likely to result in the

sacrifice of an asset of ever-increasing value.
In some quarters speculation is indulged in as
to whether the increase in the rate of stumpage
dues to two dollats per thousand feet will not
affect the bonus or purchase price. If this
should de the case the government would not
profit by the increased dues. The first outlay
by the purchaser would not be as heavy, but
he would be obliged to pay a larger amount as
the timber was cut.

The advocates of preferential tariffs may
contend with reason that as yet the plan has
not received a fair test.
the figures of imports into Canada from the
United Kingdom and the United States since
the passing of the Canadian preferential tariff
law might be construed as an argument
against duty preferences. The imports from
the United Kingdom have increased in value
from $29,000,000 in 1897, when the Canadian
preference was established, to $65,000,000 for
the year ending June 30, 1903.
from the United States increased in that period
from $61,000,000 to $137,000,000. It must
be admitted, however, that the United States
has pushed out for Canadian trade more en-
ergetically and systematically than has great
Britain.

a different showing in the near tuture. In

This fact is now being realized by

this connection Canadians shonld endeavor to
take every possible advantage of the prefer-
ential tariff which has this year been put into
operation in British South Africa. In this
country also the United States have secured a
strong foothold, having increased her exports
from $3,638,000 in 1893 to $29,000,000 in
1902, or an increase in ten years of nearly one
thousand per cent.

‘THE CANADA LUMBERMAN S

FITTING SHINGLE SAWS.

On reading a late number of The Wood-
Worker I notice a request from a filer who
claims he is in need of general experience
with shingle saws, and, for the benefit of my
fellow-workman, I will try to explain the care
of shingle saws from the anvil until they reach
the machine for cutting. With many years of
experience in this line, I find it very necessary
to carefully do the hammering and filing. My
work now is filling band saws, and I think it
takes as much experience with large thin shingle
saws, and perhaps more, than for band saws.

When I commence hammering shingle saws
I use first a 16-inch straightedge and a pin on
the side of my anvil to swing the saw upright.
Use the straightedge all the time thoughout
the work on the side of the saw; find the lumps
around the saw and level them, then mark on
opposite side and strike with a hammer on each
place till the saw becomes as nearly level as
possible.

Now lay the saw on the anvil and work the
tension to an even circle from the rim to center.
Use a straightedge that will reach from center
torim. Half way the saw should drop from
straightedge about three thicknesses of a postal
card. Now use the 16-inch straightedge again
straight acoss the center of the saw, pulling up
on tne edge with the other hand. See that the
center of the saw will drop away at center to
let a piece of writing paper slide under freely.

This must be done on both sides. Should ~
your work cause the saw to drop away too far
from the straightedge at center,
straight-face hammer, pointing from center to
rim, about 3 inches from the teeth of the saw, on
any lumps that nray be found.

use your

This will raise
the eye much quicker and with less hammering
than with a round-face hammer, and not inter-
fere with the tension. When the saw has even
tension and eye, is perfectly straight from one
side to the other in any way you puta straight-
edge on it, it is ready to place on the collar,
but before putting it on the collar see that the a
tace of the collar is straight from center to edge

straight, it is all right; if not, use writing pa-
per where it is needed to make it true. If your
saw is saucer-shape to the cut it will buckle

when passing through.

Now for filing. See that your grinder is
perfectly square with the blade of the saw ; that
the center of the mandrel, when cutting, is ee
directly over the center of the saw; that the
tooth may be ground square and the back of
the tooth filed with about 30 degrees bevel; ia
that you have a good round throat, the back a)" ig
little round so that the saw willnot jerk when

the screws for set on each side of the saw.
That is, should the saw be 16-gauge, the entire
cut should be from 12 to 13 for clearance for
sawdust.

Now for lead. Start the machine, cut a .
shingle and pass the machine as near the eye as “ing
possible, with the spalt held fast. See that it 1 a

EMERY WHEELS FOR BAND SAWS.

Inregard to proper speed for wheels of or-
dinary grades for saw sharpening, general
Practice, says Packages, recommends the fol-
lowing approximate speeds: 14 inch, at 1,300;
12 inch, 1,500; 10 inch, 1,800; 8 inch, 2,400;
6 inch, 3,000. But a faster speed for soft
wheels and a slower one for hard wheels often
condemned entirely
hardness is

renders a wheel otherwise
Satisfactory. A wheel of medium
perferable for saw sharpening, since it will cut
quicker and heat and glaze less than a hard
one, though it will wear outa little sooner.
A hard wheel, if run too rapidly, will produce,
to a yreater or less extent, a case-hardening
which cannot be touched with a file, and from
which cracks are likely to result. When the
color of the steel goes beyond a blue, under
the action of the emery wheel, the steel is red
hot and hardens.

There is much in the selection of emery
wheels of good grade, and much in keeping
the wheel in condition to cut freely without un-
due feeding tosaw. The perfect wheel will
cut freely without tendency to glaze or fill up
with the minute particles of dust and steel. I:
holds its shape without frequent dressing. Its
finishing cut. should leave the tooth unblued
and free from burn or roughness. A saw
sharpener with motion such that the emery
wheel stops long in bottom of throat, is ob-
jectionable, as this is exceedingly apt to heat
or case-harden the saw at base of the teeth.

Then, if the gullet is not well rounded, it
offers an opportunity for cracking. An 18-gauge
Saw requires a finer-graded wheel than one of
14-gauge or heavier, so that the wheel may
grind to a fine edge without blueing the points
of teeth or leaving a course wire edge. A coarse
wheel will not leave a smooth surface to the
edge of the teeth, and, consequently, the saw

will not cut so well. If the wheel is too fine tor:

the gauge of the saw to be ground, it will glaze
and blue the gullet and point with the slightest
grinding. A soft wheel is very objectionable, for
it will wear away a trifle on each tooth, mak-
ing it impossible to maintain the desired shape,
and, as a result, the hook will be run out and
there will be no uniformity between the teeth
on a saw or between the different saws. Hav-
ing a sharpener equipped with a number of dif-
ferent speeds, and perhaps driven by a separate

632 Dexel Building “ S

engine, it should be possible to properly speed
wheels of fair quality to suit their size and the
work.

The use of emery wheels with the face con-
caved is recommended to those who carry con-
siderable hook in their saws, as wheels thus
faced will hold their shape with less require-
ment for dressing than straight-faced wheels.
When facing an emery wheel with the dresser,
avoid undue pressure. If the wheel is allowed
to trace the entire surface of the tooth, in grind-
ing, its shape and that of the teeth will be bet-
ter preserved. The teeth will be ground up to
a Sharp keen edge, every tooth alike, and the
uniform width of the saw maintained. The
use of a sharpener simply for face grinding or
as a gumming machine, will result in having
no two saws with teeth shaped alike. But if
you have a sharpener that will not grind to a
sharp point, and you are obliged to face with
the machine and point the back with the file,
see that the saw is kept properly jointed.

The less thata file is used on the teeth, the
better, unless for lightly pointing off a feather
edge, and with a good machine anda good
wheel this should be unnecessary. In general,
the use of an upset should be avoided, as it
makes the teeth of uneven length and prevents
auniform grinding. The use ot a face swage
requires a greater amount of face grinding,
and renders the preservation of hook more
difficult, than the use of a top swage. If you
use a face swage, and the logs are gravelly,
requiring a frequent swaging, and a conse-
quent large amount of face grinding, you are
likely to run the teeth back too fast and make
them too slim, with a tendency to dodge or vi-
brate, and must shape the grinding to avoid
this. .

Always keep a good-sized gullet so that the
dust will clear easily. The teeth should never
be allowed to get short and stubby, or without
the proper amount of hook, as they will do less
work and take more power, and the saw has
a greater tendency to bind and heat, owing to
the want of sufficient room in the gullets for
If you have
occasion to grind in adeep gullet, a coarse
wheel may be employed, to be followed up with
a fine grit wheel for finishing and pointing.

In sharpening saws, the pressure of the
emery wheel shouldbe light onthe work. It is

the saw dust to escape rapidly.

De
erroneous to suppose that the heavy pressure
produces rapid cutting; it simply results in the a
glazing of the wheel and the hardening or
burning of the teeth, which will then crumble
or fracture in the cut or when swaging. Ifa
saw has been badly fitted, and it is necessary
to remove such metal, instead of forcing the
wheel as hard as possible to the plate and mak-
ing it red or blue from the heat, the work
should be gone over lightly a number of times.

Having a saw with teeth uniform, you should,
after swaging, place the saw on sharpener and
grind around once to remove any feather edge
resulting from swaging, then side-dress with a

"pressure side-dresser, and then finish sharpen-
ing. If any teeth have been bent in swaging
or from other cose, straighten them. A saw
will cut smoother, stand more feed, and run
longer when side-dressed with pressure side-
dresser than by any other method. Constant
attention to the matter of keeping the teeth
exactly alike and perfectly fitted, is essential to
a fine cutting saw.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK,

Several shippers of spruce deals have
been endeavoring to close contracts for
next season's stock at prices correspond-
ing to those which ruled this year, but
it is understood that they have been
unsuccessful and that manufacturers are
asking an advance. Now that contract-
ing for the Ottawa Valley pine production
has commenced, it is expected to fa-
cilitate the closing of contracts for spruce
stocks. Manufacturers are asking an ad-
vance on the ground of increased cost of
production. In Nova Scotia the quantity
of spruce deals manufactured next year
will in all probability show a considerable
dscrease owing to forest 4res, which
swept through lands that had been logged
before. The small logs remaining on
these lands will be cut, and very few of
them will be large enough to produce
deals for the British market. The mills
in Nova Scotia have marketed practically
allthe lumber cut this year. Enquiries
are being received for stock for shipment
to New York, where spruce is selling at
the highest average prices ever obtained.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,

The active building season in the North-
West is about over, and the demand for
lumber has fallen off considerably. There

CANADA LOMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION: —

is still some call for finishing lumber, which
is-likely to be in more or less demand all
winter. Prices are somewhat weaker on
account of the sharp competition ex-
perienced from American manufacturers.
There has been some buying for spring
delivery at current prices. The British
Columbia mills supplying the foreign trade
are busy, but the stock of unsold lumber
for local and eastern consumption is large
and the demand quiet. This applies also
to the shingle industry. Manufacturers
have received some encouragement from
the recent visit of two or three large
United States buyers of shingles. It is
said that they placed some orders with
Vancouver mills, being induced to do so
by the superior quality of the British
Columbia product.
UNITED STATES.

The lumber trade of the United States
is seasonably quiet. Wholesale orders
are scarce, but there is a good movement
of small lots, and in Buffalo a large de-
mand for doors and house finish. Dealers
are not stocking up to any extent, but
their policy of conservatism is causing
holders of lumber no anxiety, as they
believe there will be no break in prices.
Inventories of stocks on hand at wholesale
centres show much iess than at same time
last year. At Buffalo it is stated that
there is not box lumber enough in sight to
keep the box factories running through
the winter and early spring, and there is
very little of this class of lumber held at
the mills. Itis quite probable that box
lumber will advance before spring re-
gardless of the general trend of prices.
The manufacturers in Wisconsin and
Minnesota are restricting their log input,
so that they may be in a position to cope
with any falling off in the demand for
lumber next year. Spruce prices are very
strong. Both frames and random are
selling in Boston at from fifty cents to
one dollar above the list for prompt de-
livery. The hardwood trade maintains a
healthy tone. Birch, elm and basswood
are receiving a large call and the advance
in price has been well maintained. Some
dealers have been compelled to refuse
orders for elm on account of being unable
to make delivery within the specified
time. White pine and white cedar
shingles are moving rather slowly, but
there is more inquiry for red cedars.

GREAT BRITAIN.

We can learn of no important change
in the British lumber market. Business is
rather lifeless and little improvement is
expected until the new year. The stocks
at the leading importing centres are not
excessive, but it must be remembered
that the consumption this fall and winter
has been smaller than last year and
promises to continue so for a few months.
The auction sales have been about the
only guide to prices. These have develop-
ed no weakness; in fact, at the Man-
chester sale of the Lightbound, Rigby &
Company stock high prices were realized.
Third quality pine deals, 3x11 inch,
brought £12 ros per standard ; 3x9 inch
Hit 58s, and 3x7 inch 11. A small
quantity of 4x7 inch spruce realized £8

bec ash timber at 1s .1d per cubic foot.

The Hanburg Manufacturing Company,

The Carney Lumber Company, which
recently closed a deal for the purchase of
200,000,000 feet of white pine on the
Spanish River, will establish their head-

let a contract for 100,000,000 feet of logs,
involving an expenditure of half a million
dollars, to E. L. Kinnon. English capital
is backing the enterprise, and the contract
is the largest let for some time. The com-
pany owns from four to six hundred mil-
lion feet of timber along Trout Lake.

The Harbor Commissioners ot Montreal
invite tenders in this issue for a supply of
timber and planks for 1904, including hem-
lock, white pine, red pine, elm, maple, and
spruce. There are 194,000 feet of spruce
planks and 175,000 ft. of pine planks called
for. The piles required consist of 500
pieces white pine, 300 pieces red pine and
100 pieces elm, averaging 47 feet long.

R.F. Dorfman, who represents the lum-
ber syndicate which has been buying up
small parcels of timber in the vicinity of
Nanaimo, B.C., states that the first boom
of 600,000 feet of logs will be ready early
this month. It is probable that another
camp willbe started early in the spring
near Courtney, where the syndicate has
about 110,000,000 feet of timber. Somie
of this goes 250,000 feet to the acre.

The Victoria Lumber & Manufacturing

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.

[Correspondence of the Canapa LUMBERMAN, |

To-day another big sale of 1904 deals
was recorded. Watson & Todd, the well-
known Liverpool firm, has closed with the
Hull Lumber Company for the entire cut
of red and white pine deals to be sawn
under contract next year. While the

actual figures aré not obtainable, itis —

understood the price shows an advance of
ten per cent. over last year's figures. The
transaction covers between fifteen and
twenty million feet. be

November, always looked on as the
season for such sales, has only seen two
this year. For the past three weeks a
deadlock has existed between the English
buyers and the Ottawa district manufac-
turers of deals. The latter have been
holding out for an advance of twenty per
cent. on last season’s rates, offering, of
course, as ground for such advance the
stiff price of labor and supplies. The
Euglish buyers, however, aceording to one
of the number, could not pay the price
asked and expect to realize on the invest-
ment. In turn they pointed out that
British trade was dull and the market well
stocked. The question of supply and
demand, not cost of production, should,
they claimed, govern the case.

It is now believed, however, that the
deadlock has been broken, and that the

other sellers and buyers will get together -

and agree on terms.
All the mills in the Ottawa district have

practically closed. To the surprise of many _ ‘

it is stated that the season’s cut as com-
pared with that of former years shows a
falling. off of fully ten per cent. For
instance, the big Booth mill is said to be
between thirteen and fifteen million feet

behind its cut for the corresponding period —

last year. As the supply of logs was a

constant one and the weather steady, the

blame for the shortage is laid on labor.
The Shepard & Morse Company, which

took over and fitted upthe Mason mil! in—

the west end of the city, hada good
season's business. — It has been decided to
install another double cutting band saw
for next season’s work. The one installed
last year was the first of its kind seen in
the Ottawa district. Next season the
mill will be better equipped than ever with
two Such saws. ¥ ny.

that the work of log cutting is well ad-
- wanced. The present cold snap ought
to freeze up the Streams and thus facili-
tate the movement of supplies, which has
been a difficult business for the past few

days. Labor is easier to obtain, the

close of work on the farms releasing

many competent axe handlers.
No square timber will be manufactured
~ in the Kippewa district this year, for the
reason that there is little or none left to
manufacture. The following firms that
manufactured last season will leave
square timber alone this year: Sheppard &
‘Morse, Hull, Lumber Company and

Rideau Lumber Company. On the other
and Edward Moore, Klock Bros. and

Robert Hurdman will continue in the

square timber line. ;

Reports differ as to market conditions,
Dealers re-
port local business and trade with the
States slow, while the manufacturers
state they have no trouble placing any
standing stock they have on hand. With
the close of navigation shipments are
always slow from Ottawa, so that the
present slackness is causing no uneasi-
ness.

It is expected the log cut in the Ottawa
river district will be nearer an average
than will-be that of the Georgian Bay
district, where a shortage running all the
way from twenty to thirty per cent. is
predicted.

Ottawa manufacturers have not so much
to fear from the threatening hard times in
the States as have their fellows in the
Georgian Bay district, for the reason that
while the latter are almost wholly de-

_ pendent on the American market, the
Ottawa district mills cut largely for the
English trade as well.

With the predicted shortage of logs in
the Georgian Bay district, the chances of
overstocking the American market will
be greatly reduced and the prospects ofa
continuance of high prices brightened.

Ottawa, November 25th, 1903.

BRITISH COLUMBIA LUMBERWEN
IN SESSION®

A meeting of the Mountain Lumber
Manufacturers’ Association was held at
the Board of Trade rooms at Nelson, B.
~ C., on the 26th and 27th of October last.
There was present ‘a strong delegation
from the British Columbia Lumber & Shin-
gle Manufacturers’ Association, and also
from the Western Retail Lumbermen’s As-
sociation. The meeting was a particular-
ly interesting one, and the attendance was
large, on account of the importance of the

matters to be brought up for discussion.
A committee to prepare statistics as to
_ the condition of the lumber trade and es-
_ timates as to the quantity of available lum-
ber and the probable output and consump-
tion next year, was appointed, and at a
later session the committee reported that
there were eighty million feet of lumber
ready for shipment in the yards in British
Columbia ; that the demand was not strong,
as the yards in the North-West Territories
were pretty well stocked ; that the proba-
_ ble output for next year would be seven
hundred million feet or at least one hun-
dred million feet above the estimated con-
“sumption, even taking into consideration

the present very large increase in immi-
gration in the North-West Territories.

The lumber manufacturing trade has cer-
tainly been booming ; a large number of
mills have been built and are under con-
struction, and if there was a shortage last
winter and spring, the reverse is now the
case, and the members of the Lumber As-
sociations were themselves surprised to
find that they were face to face with a con-
dition of things which will probably mean
a shutting down of the mills for a time to
prevent over-production.

During the period last winter in which
there was an apparent shortage (we say
‘‘apparent’’ because it was largely attri-
butable to insufficient transportation
facilities at the time when the demand was
greatest), American lumber was introduced
to a very considerable extent into the
North-West, the excuse being that
Canadian lumber was not to be had, and
this market having been once opened up
to American mills, they are succeeding in
holding the market, to the exclusion of
Canadian lumber. A considerable ad-
vantage in freight rates over the Canadian
mills helps them to do this.

This and many other subjects were dealt
with by the members of both Associations
in a joint meeting, and strong resolutions
were prepared, both to the Canadian Paci-
fic Railway Company pointing out the in-
justice that the members suffer in certain
quarters on account of the comparatively
heavy freight rates, and to the Dominion
Government pointing out the necessity of
a duty to protect this very important
Canadian industry.

It was pointed out that on account of
the somewhat demoralized condition of
American trade at present, partly through
over-production, the Canadian North-West
was being used as a dumping ground for
the surplus stock of common lumber of the
American mills, and that such competition
under the circumstances was not fair and

should be prevented. The enormously in-
creased capacity of the B.C. mills is a
sufficient guarantee of a supply large
enough to ensure that there will be no in
crease in price.

Steps were taken witha view to ascertai-
ning if and in what way the uniform grad-
ing of lumber could satisfactorily be done.
This is a matter which has hitherto been
considered impracticable on account of
the very great differences in the timber
used by the different mills througout the
country. It was decided, except in 2-inch
dimension, to adopt Coast Standards of
boards and matched lumber. This rule
takes effect on January 1st, 1904.

A satisfactory arrangement was arrived
at between the shingles members and the
branch of the B. Ca eciber and Shingle
Manufacturers at the coast.

The foregoing covers only a small part
of the work done inthe session, which

Jil.

lasted two full days. The meeting was
productive ofa gieat deal of good, and
many questions of importance affecting
the interests of the members, as between
each other, were discussed and satisfac-
torily dealt with.

The Mountain Association, which is
now two years in existence, was felt to be
in a much healthier condition and the en-
thusiasm of the members very much great-
er than heretofore.

Regret was expressed that the commis-
sion which had been appointed by the
Dominion Government to investigate the
alleged combine had not had the oppor-
tunity of going into the question, as the
members felt satisfied that a thorough in-
vestigation would have ‘resulted in show-
ing that these Associations were not in
any sense responsible for the alleged un-
satisfactory condition of things in the

20 THE (CANADA Lu

LUMBERING AND FORESTRY IN SWEDEN.
By ALEXANDER MACLADURIN.

I visited Sweden during the month of Feb-
ruary, 1903 ; my idea in going over there was
to see how they manufactured the lumber, how
the mills were built, what kind of machinery
was used and how they managed their forests.

The timber lands extend from the north of
Sweden to within a few miles of Stockholm,
the capital of the country.

There are only two kinds of timber there,
viz., white wood, which resembles our white
spruce in this province, and red wood, which is

something like our red pine, but a little closer.

in the grain. There is an abundant supply of
these two woods, but of small size; the average
runs from 6 to g inches at the top end, 20 to
28 feet long for winter sawing. The large
logs will average 8 to 11 inches diameter.
These are sawed in summer; there is com-
paratively no 12 or 13 inches diameter timber.

Every farmer grows timber and markets a
few trees every winter, just the same as a
farmer here would market his oats and hay.
Wood isa regular commodity of trade amongst
the farmers; every farmer preserves a portion of
his farm which is adapted only to the raising
of timber for this purpose, and a Swedish
farmer will never attempt to clear or cultivate
land which is stoney, reserving it for forest
culture. The hills are all covered with timber.
I only saw one hill which was denuded of
forest, and that was caused bya fire. Fires
are of rare occurrence. I saw no land of any
consequence which had been fun over and de-
stroyed by fire. I was informed that there
had only been one fire during the past year in
the whole of Sweden. It was an insignificant
fire and was put out very quickly,
as under the system of fire protection in
Sweden, fire rangers may enforce the attend-
ance of the militia, and all able bodied citi-
zens may be compelled by the fire ranger to
assist in the extinction of forest fires, the con-
sequence is that a fire has no chance of extend-
ing very far under this system. There is a
heavy fine upon any person refusing to assist
at a forest fire. There was one thing which
struck me vety forcibly going up the country
—that the railway ran through miles of forest,
and I did not see a particle of land destroyed
by fire along the tracks for a distance of 400
miles which I travelled on that railway, which
runs up into the north of Sweden. I asked
one of the largest lumbermen how they man-
aged to keep the forest so close to the railway
track from catching fire. The railway com-
pany is obliged to keep watchmen along the
track during the dry season, in fact, they were
living along the track this winter when I was
there. Their houses were situated about a
mile apart along the railway track. These men

Inasmuch

‘ are railway employees, and their duty is to

take all precautions against fire. The railways
in Sweden are owned by the government, and
in consequence these men are also government
employees.

I travelled through the woods across country
in a sleigh, through wood roads nearly all the
way for about 30 miles, for the purpose of
seeing the condition in which the forests were.
I took particular notice of the forest floor in

_edgings for charcoal.

various parts, and where, on the private lots
owned by the farmers, they cut their own fire-
wood. The forest floor was cleaned up com-
pletely and no debris left. I saw a few tree
tops in the bush, where they were manufactur-
ing small square timber, chiefly four inches
square, for the German market.
what they were doing with such stuff as that.
They told me it was for the German market.
Everywhere I went the forest floor was clean,
there was no underbrush such as we have in
our country. Itis about the closest cutting
that I have ever seen ; nowhere in Canada
have I seen any such close cutting. The tops
of some of the trees, which were too rough,
were cut off and piled in with the slabs and
Every available piece of
wood, which is not otherwise merchantable, is
worked up into charcoal, so that the whole
tree is utilized into merchantable stuff.

The government forest lands are for the
most part situated at the headwaters of the
rivers.

The forests are divided into sections. The
sections are simply blazed out. When the
government decides to sell any of the timber or
trees of a certain size, that is to say, merchant-
able trees, they are marked by the government
ranger. The sale of the sections is made by
auction, the lumbermen purchase the trees only
that are marked. The government in offering
the trees at auction gives an approximate esti-
mate of the quantity of timber on each section,
they give you the exact number of trees and an
approximate average of the size, and what they
will produce when cut down—this for the in-
formation of the purchaser. The government,
however, is not bound by this estimate, only
so far as the number of trees is concerned—
the approximate estimate is given as a guide
to the purchasers. The purchasers, of course,
examine the sections which are to be sold, the
government giving ample notice of the sales of
these sections, and the purchasers examine for
themselves the limits ; in many cases where
the purchaser has confidence in the skill of the
explorer, they place explicit reliance upon the
government report. They seem to rely on the
honesty of each other. I never saw a people
who placed such confidence in one another as
do the Swedish people. This convinces me
that their dealings are distinguished by great
honesty.

There is no effort to cheat the government,
and there is nothing done on the part of the
government to lessen the confidence of the pur-
chasers in the honesty and fidelity of the system.
The fact is, the government, the farmers, and
the lumbermen work hand in hand, inasmuch
as the timber revenue forms a very important
item in the budget of the country. The gov-
ernment seems to realize that it is their duty to
facilitate in every way the production of the
article and its sale in such a way that the lum-
bermen can make a profit out of the business
and all parties are satisfied.

I visited one of the largest lumbering con-
cerns in Sweden. They were engaged in the

‘manufacture of lumber since the year 1643;

they have conducted the lumbering business
through their ancestors in the same place, on
the same river, since the year 1643. I saw the

the firm who established the business in 16433 “4
of course the establishment has changed hands —
a number of times since the original grant, but -
the limits: are operated still, and are valuable _ iy
at the present day. The reason for this state
of things is easily explained by the fact that
the proper system of forest preservation has 4
existed from the first, on these limits, and that
this system is still in force at the present day.
The cut of the establishment is about eighty 7;
millions a year. I saw many thousands of logs
within 10 miles of the mill, put out on the ice
of the river this winter. The average was ;

I investigated the question 2 of the expense of
getting timber out of the woods, and f
that the cost of this department of h
differed very slightly from our own.
of manufacturing at the mills is much
than ours. This is due, largely, — first -
cheaper labor, and secondly, the rate of i insur-
ance on mill properties and lumber yards.
These two items reduced the cost of manufac-

From what I have seen in regard to Sweden, ae
I think that the system there will result in a a
permanent supply of timber, and I am also. of
opinion that the same result can be produced
in the Province of Quebec if the government
would take hold of the question seriously and —
intelligently. To do this the farmers. and—
colons must be taken into the confidence of the
government and educated, and no better
method can be devised than te enlist the good
offices Of the country curates in the instruction
of their parishoners in the principle which
governs the perpetual production of forest
products. Unfortunately, i in some instances,
the curate who has great influence in a parish
becomes unconsciously an instrument in the
hands of speculating jobbers. The govern-
ment revenue suffers accordingly.

The large establishment of which 1 have
spoken is situated on the River Angermann, in
Sweden. This river is similar to the Gatineau,
and about as long. There are twenty-five
lumbering establishments on this river, where-
as on the Gatineau to-day there remains only
two establishments. As a matter of fact the
Gatineau river and Valley is far superior as a
timber producer to the Swedish river both in|
size and possible quantities and variety of tim-
ber. Where the Swedish country only pro-
duces two varieties the Gatineau country furn-
ishes white and red pine, spruce, cedar, birch,
not to speak of the hardwoods, which are of
considerable value. If the Gatineau ‘Valley
had been treated in the same way as the
country tributary to the Angermann it would ” a
supply fully as great a number of milling estab-
lishments as the Swedish river. ep

At the headwaters of the Angermann the ‘f
timber becomes very small, which is not the
case with the Gatineau river. I am familiar
with the country tributary to the Gatineau oe

country there is more brule than standing
forest. In Sweden they do not re-plant, they

trust to natural reproduction, that is to say,
the seeding from the standing trees. The

are always trees left sufficient to produce
“fresh seed and to re-seed the forest natur-

ally.
‘The system of cutting in sections serves the
purpose of reproduction by lapse of time. By 13
‘is a well-known fact that for every tree of 12
inches diameter cut in the forest there has got
to be a sapling growing to fill its place ;. it be-
Gomes a question then of preserving the sec-
tions sufficiently long so that that sapling will
become a 12 inch tree before the forest section

is again lumbered over.

There is a record kept by the government of
a every section cut, and the date of cut. Time is
____ given for the reproduction of the forest. It is
"under this system alone that the perpetual sup-

ply of forest products can be obtained and per-

petuated. There is no middle course. No
system of preservation will be perfect unless

an eyesore and a reflection on the system which
produces it.

As a consequence of this forest culture, in all
my travels in Sweden I never saw a house
which was uninhabited, however isolated it may
have been in the forest. I found the houses
inhabited by seemingly comfortable families.—

THE HILL DIRECT ACTING DRAG SAW.

The places where a drag saw can be used to
advantage are so numerous and its advantages over
any other kind of cross cutting are so great that any
improvement in this class of machinery is sure to
interest every reader of this paper. This being the
case, we take pleasure in illustrating the latest model
of the famous Hill patent direct steam drag saw, with
auxiliary steam hoisting cylinder.

The construction of this machine, here illustrated, is
radically different from that of any other drag saw, and
is by far the most simple and compact. The machine

some such regulation is adopted and effectively
q enforced.

| Timber does not grow as fast in Sweden as
it does with us. It is estimated in Sweden
that between 15 to 20 years are required to
_——s get a re-cut of 11 or 12 inches on the stump.
From observation and experience I am of the
opinion that from the sapling to the 12 ‘inch
spruce tree it will be about 30 years. The
_. average growth pine from the sapling in pro-
__pitious ground would be about two feet high
for each year. A 12 inch pine would be at

least 40 feet high.
q - T noticed in the northern part of Sweden farm
after farm consisting of only four acres, or
; thereabout, of good land under cultivation.
‘ The balance of the farm was entirely in forest
trees. These farmers supplement their agri-
cultural products by the profits which they

ian

make out of forest culture, in fact, one might
a _ say that the greater part of a Swedish farm in
____ this section of the country is a wood or timber

farm, and the natives pay as much attention to
‘4 the culture of the forest as our people do to

their farms. If this practice had been tollowed
by the colons in the Province of Quebec, where
similar circumstances exist, they would have a
large forest on the farm, instead of a desolate,
‘burnt-up and valueless piece of ground with
hills completely denuded of soil.
‘This forest farm would be a constant source
of revenue to the farmer, and we would retain
our population. The abandoned farm, as we
know it now, would be a thing of the past and
a source of wealth to the province. Now it is

:
occupies very little space, and is really a self-contained

steam engine with the saw fastened to the piston rod.
It has few parts, consisting mainly of base, cylinder,
valve and connections, cross-head which is attached
directly to piston and to which saw 1s secured suitable
guides for crossheads, saw guide and a steam cylinder
for raising and lowering saw and feeding it while it is
in the cut. The cylinder is provided with a positive
steam cushion at each end of stroke so that even at
maximum speed it is impossible to knock out cylinder
heads. This perfect cushion also serves to obviate the
jarring of foundation and end play so common in many
other types of drag saws. The machine can be placed
in the upper storey of a mill or factory without incon-
venience. The valve is radically different from any-
thing used heretofore, and is so simple in construction
that it cannot get out of order. It is operated from
crosshead and allows a very high piston speed. The
main part of the machine hinges on trunions which
work in a heavy base.

The mechanism for counterbalancing the machine
and regulating the feed of the saw is very simple. The
machine is partially balanced by a weight which is
fastened to a rope passing over the sheaves and
attaching to yoke of drag saw. By taking out or
adding to the weight in the box the feed can be

increased or decreased. In addition to this the

operator is given control of the feed and provided with —

a simple hoisting device in the auxiliary steam cylinder.
This cylinder gives a rapid, powerful and positive hoist,
which without doubt is superior to any other. The
machines are built in three sizes and are also arranged
to be used on a ratt for sawing logs in the water.

These drag saws are extensively used all over the
United States, in Europe, Africa, Mexico, South
America and the Phillipines, which gives some idea of
their wide popularity.

They are used to cut shingle bolts, stave bolts,
heading stock; to cut up logs in the pond to length on
the log deck; to cut cord wood, pulp wood blocks, and
for a thousand other purposes ; in fact one of these
machines was shipped to Newfoundland to cut up

whales—others having been made to cut ice and stone.
They can be mounted on skids and taken from place t

place to be used with portable boiler to cut up logs in
the woods.

They are claimed to be the fastest cutting machine
on the market, and the most economical to run. Asto
the wearing qualities, the following letter from Loweil
M, Palmer, President of the Brooklyn Cooperage Com-
pany, is sufficient testimony as to that :

A TIMBER DERRICK.

The National Hoist & Machine Company, of Chicago,
Ill., manufacture a special derrick for handling timbers,
in yards and at mills. Two men can operate them and
easily handle heavy timbers, on and off cars, or piles
built on flat cars with flat wheels for yard use, or with
flanged wheels for tracks. These are the only prac-
tical hand power derricks made for this purpese. The
special features of this derrick are in setting up and
taking down, to allow it to pass through doors and

THE HOUSE OF HOO-HOO.

A special meeting of the Supreme Nine was
held at Chicago on Saturday, November 7, one
of the most important things discussed being
the House of Hoo-Hoo at the St. Louis World’s
Fair. It was reported that about $30,000 in
subscriptions had been received.. While this
amount is sufficient to build a house, it is not
sufficient to build the sort of house desired, nor
to finish and maintain it during the seven
months of the Exposition.

The Board of Governors of the House ot
Hoo-Hoo held a meeting at St. Louis early
last month and suggested the appointment of
December 9 next asa sort of universal House
of Hoo-Hoo Day, on which day every member
of Hoo-Hoo will consider the question: ‘Am I
going to contribute to this undertaking or not?
If so, I am going to do it to-day.” This sug-
gestion was discussed by the Supreme Nine at
Chicago, and the following resolution was un-
animously adopted:

“‘Resolved,that the Supreme Nine in special
called session assembled, heartily endorses the
action of the Board of Governors of the House
of Hoo in naming December oth as a special
day on which to make a thorough and concerted
canvass of the membership for subscription to
that great undertaking, and promise cordial
support.”

Every Canadian Hoo-Hoo should make it a
point to contribute on December 9 to the build-
ing of what will be a world renowned structure
at St. Louis. If you have already contributed,

consider whether you cannot increase your sub-—

scription.

INSURANCE FOR THE LUMBER TRADE.

SOME PROPHECY AS TO FUTURE OF INSURANCE CoMPANIES—
STRENGTH OF THE STANDARD LUMBER MutTuaLts—FI-
NANCIAL SHOWING OF THE LUMBER MUTUAL OF Boston.

Following the boom period comes the inevitable re-
action ; inflation is followed by depression. Bonds de-
crease in value, many good stocks fall 20 per cent. to
30 per cent. in the market, and of those which have
been well watered, having the water Squeezed out,
nothing remains.

‘Investment securities” in many instances hecome
permanent investments in a double sense.

Insurance companies having large capital and sur-
plus to invest naturally buy such bonds and stocks as
they think easily convertible into cash on the market.

. In flush times they buy freely and, assuming a
profitable underwriting business done and their in-
vestments profitable, declare and pay large dividends.

As many of the officially recognized companies

(nearly one-quarter of the whole number) lost money
on their underwriting the past ten years and have only
the income on their investment to offset their losses,
the cutting off or reduction of this income and the fall
in value of their securities will leave many of them
without a surplus this coming December 31, when

_ their reports are made to the insurance departments of
the seyeral states in which they are located.

Come to mark down their securities to the present
market value, so much less than one year before,
added to thejr previous loss record on underwriting,

_ they will find their capital impaired 10 to 25 per cent.
__. The laws of the several states require the impairment
of capital to be made up by anassessment on the stock-
holders. The stockholders, rather than put in more
money to support a losing business, will reinsure their
_- fisks, close up their companies and retire from business.
_ The chance to advance the “market value” of their

aT

securities two years ago was an extended lease of life

for many companies after the excessive losses of the
previous two or three years. Marking the securities
down at the close of this year will close their careers,
unless an excessive underwriting profit has been made
by the 25 per cent. advance in rates in 1902 and the ad-
vance has been strictly adhered to on all risks.

The Argus Insurance Chart gave the names of twelve
stock companies and nine mutual companies, failed or
retired from business in 1go2, including only those com-
panies doing an honorable and above board business
and excluding all “undergrounders” or ‘wild cat”
companies whose names change at least as often as
their signs need repainting.

The failures for 1903 will certainly equal those of
1902. In 1904, when the stockholders begin to study
over the January 1, 1904, reports, they will make short
work of voting their companies out of business, and the
failures be doubled. ’

With a decreasing number of companies seeking insur-
ance the lumber trade will naturally turn its business
and orders more to those companies organized and man-
aged exclusively by the members of the trade.

The trade mutuals, organized in 1895, with eight
years’ experience back of them as a guide for present
and future business, and having demonstrated their abil-
ily gradually to increase their dividends up to 20 per
cent. and 30 per cent, while at the same time accumu-
lating a net cash surplus equal to the total of all divi-
dends paid for eight years, claim they should have the
preference on all orders for insurance.

The Lumber Mutual of Boston, in support of that
claim, publishes the following :—

CRAIG MINE CRYSTAL CORUNDUM WHEELS

Our Pure Crystal Corundum Saw Gummers have
no equal for their rapid, cool, cutting properties.

Read the following from Bulletin 180 of the United States Geological Survey, which says :

‘Often a distinction is made between emery and corundum, many persons not recognizing emery as a variety of

corundum.

Emery is a mechanica] admixture of corundum and magnetite or hematite.

It is, of course, the presence

of corundum in the emery that gives to it its abrasive qualities and makes it of commercial value, and the abrasive
efficiency of emeries varies according to the percentage of corundum they contain.”

Emery is imported, mined by Greeks and Turks and contains only about 257

$ @+ DEPARTMENT

PROTEST AGAINST A COUNTERVAILING
DUTY.

A hearing on the protests of a number of

_ Canadian pulp companies against a counter-

vailing duty on pulp imported into the United
States was held before the Board of General
Appraisers in New York city on November
11th. The additional duty objected to was
imposed by the Treasury Department early
last year. The ruling provides for the collec-
tion of 25 cents per tom on all pulp brought
into the United States made from wood cut on
Crown lands in those provinces of Camada
which allow a rebate of 25 cents per cord on
the Crown land wood when it is ground into
pulp in Canada. The countervailing duty is,
therefore, restricted to the province of Quebec,
which is the only province which gives a re-
bate of 25 cents a cord for home manufacture.

The protests taken up at the last hearing
were those of the Riordon Paper Mills,
Limited, of Merritton and Hawkesbury,
Ontario ; Laurentide Pulp Company, of
Grand Mere, Quebec ; Belgo-Canadian Pulp
and Paper Company, of Shawinigan Falls,
Quebec ; James MacLaren Company, Limited,
of Buckingham, Que. ; the Brompton Pulp
and Paper Company, of Brompton Falls,
Quebec, and the Jacques Cartier Pulp and
Paper Company, of Pont Rouge, Quebec.

The object of the hearing was to ascertain
the percentages of wood cut on Crown lands
and on private lands used by the protesting
companies. Affidavits covering this point
were filed by all the companies, and the
figures given in these affidavits were the
subject of the inquiry made by the government.

It appeared that of the wood used by the
Laurentide Pulp Company, of Grand Mere,
during the year ending June 30, 1903, 82.6
per cent. came from Crown laads and 17.4 per
cent. from private lands. The Belgo Pulp &
Paper Company, of Shawinigan Falls, used in
the year ending June 30, 1903, 30,888 cords of
Crown land timber and 7,021 cords of timber
cut from private lands, and about one-half of
the product of the mill was shipped to the
United States. In the year ended June 30,
1902,the MacLaren Company, of Buckingham,
used 3,967 cords of Crown timber and 14,105
cords cut on private lands, while during the
past year the supply from Crown lands was
incréased to 9,805 cords and that from private
The Riordon
Paper Mills, Limited, used in the Hawkes-
bury mill in the year ended June 30 last
517,652 pieces of wood cut on Crown land and
50,976 pieces which came from private lands.

_ The Hawkesbury mill produces about 80 tons
of pulp per day, of which 80 per cent. is

shipped to the United States. It was shown

that the Jacques Cartier Pulp Company, ot
Pont Rouge, Que., and the Brompton Pulp &

Paper Company, of Brompton Falls, Que.,
had not used any wood cut on ‘Crown lands,
but the latter company had bought 500 cords
of Crown land wood that had not yet been
manufactured into pulp.

It was decided to postpone further proceed-
ings until December 4.

Board of Appraisers, however, will not be

final, as in any event the case will be appealed.

The Cornwall Papet & Manufacturing Company, of

The decision of the |

The importance of oaks: a gatiefactooyi
substitute for spruce for the manufacture of —
paper pulp led to a commercial study of thea
balsam fir, which Mr. Raphael G. Zon, of the
U. S. Bureau of Forestry, has just concluded. —

The rapid disappearance of spruce, the best
tree in the north woods for the manufacture of
pulp, has forced pulp makers to use more and
more balsam, and has brought that tree, once
despised and neglected, into a very important
place. Four years ago practically no balsam ©
was used by pulp manufacturers, many of
whom are now using from 25 to 50 per cent.
of it. The amount of balsam used depends —
entirely on the spruce supply near where the
different mills are located. . The smaller the | q
amount of spruce available the greater is oo
amount of balsam used.

Pulp manufacturers find balsam thal bat
substitute for spruce which can be found in the
north woods. Other trees there are which i
might serve well for paper pulp, but they are
not native to the country where the mills are
located. Pulp mills are enormously heavy and — ie
expensive, and the wood must be | brought tog 4
them—they cannot be taken to the wood. The i.
pnip man, therefore, in his choice of a substi- h
tute for his diminishing supply of spruce, is ; E
confined to the very few species that grow in|
association with spruce, and of these species —
balsam is at once the most mine and the
most promising.

The present method of making pulpout of ae |
sam is to grind it ortreat it with chemicals along
with spruce. The results are not satisfactory.
Balsam mixed with spruce produces an inferior —
grade of pulp. Mr. Zon suggests that it bene >
be much better if balsam were handled in- —
dependently of spruce. The balsam fibres are’
not nearly so tough and strong as those of
spruce, and the pressure of the grinders, which :
are adjusted for spruce fibres, is too powerful —
for the fibres of balsam and they are torn and — ;
weakened. For the same reason the chemicals — %
used in the treatment of spruce fibres weaken
and dissolve the fibres of balsam when used in © -
the samé strength. Examples of what can be — os
done with balsam in the manufacture of paper
are found in France, where the tree is made to
produce good book papers.

The silvicultural features of the balsam ark!
related by Mr. Zon, who has studied the tree — 3
carefully throughout its range, but particularly —
in Maine and the Adirondacks. Spruce has e:
been cut for many years, while balsam has
scarcely been cut at all; hence balsam :
taken the place of and is crowding out the
spruce. This change in species in the no
woods is hastened by the great superiority
balsam as a seed tree, for balsam bears se
every year, while the spruce seeds only onc
seven years. These conditions make it
parent how very desirable it is that pulp m
facturers should use balsam wherever possibl
for in doing so they not only lessen the dra
on the limited amount of spruce left, but tl ‘
give the tree a chance to grow and reproduc
itself. This point Mr. Zon brings out for
fully. The results of Mr. Zon’s work
appear this winter in the form of a bulleti

published by the Bureau.

PULP: MILL LITIGATION ENDED.

After having been in litigation for over two
years, the case of the Maritime Sulphite Pulp
Company with the Royal Trust Company, Hugh
Robertson, and the Bank of Montreal, was
finally settled at St. John, N. B., on October
27th. A settlement was made by which the
liquidators, in consideration of $15,000 in cash,

_handed over all their interest in the real and

personal property of the pulp mill and con-

sented to a decree of foreclosure and sale of
the mortgaged premises. In addition to $15,-
ooo, the Bank of Montreal agreed with Messrs.
Stewart, Lee and Bruce, who had large claims
against the company, not to rank against the
estate as creditors.

Judge McLeod, judge in the liquidation pro-
ceedings, on the application of the liquidators,
agreed to this settlement and later the solici-
tors and counsel of each party appeared before
Judge Barker, judge im equity, and had a
decree of foreclosure consented to. Under the
settlement each party pays its own costs.

timber licenses which were held by the com-
pany, and which were alleged to have been
assigned to the Royal Trust Company and
Hugh Robertson some months before the sus-
pension of the concern, but of which no notice

It is understood that under the agreement of
settlement the sum of $10,565 has been paid
to the lumbermen on account of their claims,
and their protest has been withdrawn
from the Crown Lands office.

The licenses of these lands will issue to the
assignees of the Maritime Sulphite Fibre Com-
pany. The money mentioned has been de-
posited to the credit of the liquidators and the
solicitors of the lumbermen in the Bank of

in the way of the present owners of the mill
operating it, or of their disposing of it to any
person or company who may desire to run it.

selecting a site for a pulp and paper manufacturing
plant. They were accompanied by representatives of
the Quebec Government.

The Baie St. Paul Lumber Company has been in-
corporated with the Secretary of State at Albany, N.Y.
The capital stock is $100,000, and the principal office
is to be at Syracuse, N. Y., with Canadian headquar-
te1s at Baie St. Paul, Que. The company own exten-
sive timber limits in Qnebec and will engage in the
pulp industry. The directors are H. A. Moyer, C. M.

of Friendship ; Daniel K. Condon and F. R. Brown,
of Wilcox, Pa.

The last report of the St. John Sulphite Pulp Com-
pany, of St. John, N. B., expresses regret that the
improvement which the directors expected towards the
end of the last year did not take place. Prices still
remain unprecedently low, while the cost of the raw
material has increased. At the date cf the formation
of the company the price per ton of pulp was $46,while
at the present time it is only $34, or a difference of $12
per ton. On the other hand, the cost of the raw
material has advanced about $5 per ton. It was stated
that it would be necessary to provide additional capital
in order to continue the operation of the plant.

The wear on this feed does not affect its proper

; increasing, having now reached the number
eAxcof 420, and with the improved financial position
in which the Association finds itself, it is pro-
_ posed greatly to extend the sphere of its activ-

ed, be managed by the association and will
probably be at first in the form of a quarterly

ENCROACHMENT UPON RIGHTS OF
WHOLESALERS.

The following resolution was adopted at a joint
meeting of the Tonawanda, Buffalo, Cleveland,
Toledo, Saginaw and Bay City lumbermen, held at the
Russell House, Detroit, Friday, November 2oth. The
resolution explains itself :

<‘ Whereas it is reported that certain manufacturers
of white pine, norway, hemlock, etc., who have been
selling the wholesalersin the lake markets, have also
been active in soliciting and selling a class of trade
which properly belongs to the wholesalers, and

Whereas such action is against the interests of the
wholesale dealers ;

Therefore, be it resolved, that said manufacturers be
requested to consider the rights of the wholesalers and
avoid future transactions that are detrimental to our
mutual interests ;

And be it further resolved, that in case manufacturers
_persist in selling trade that properly belongs to the
wholesalers, that as soon as such sales are known, a
report of the same be made to our respective associa-
tions and the secretaries be instructed to notify all
other wholesale markets ;

And be it further resolved, that a copy of this reso-
lution be sent by the secretary of this meeting to all
the trade journals so that the attention of the manu-
facturers be called to this resolution.”

BLEST BE THE TIE THAT BINDS.

It was most assuredly a ‘‘good year” for the lumber-
men of the country who have occasion to transport
their lumber by wagon either inthe log or manufac
tured, when the manufacturers of the Goodyear load
binder placed their device on the market. The driver
of the army mule has from time immemorial, and it may
be conceded, will continue todo so until the crack of
do.m, “borne the palm alone” for fracturing the fourth
commandment. The ‘‘mule skinner’ and ‘‘bul! puncher”
of the lumber camp, and their co-laborer, the teamster
of the city, were nearly dethroning the military man,
and might have succeeded had the introduction of the
Goodyear load binder been longer delayed.

In the lumbering district of North-western Ohio, a
few years ago, there lived a ian named Rogers who
owned a sawmill +nd who was, incidentally, a black-
smith. He was hauling logs one day, and after break-
ing two or three poles and doing himself injury, bodily

as well as morally, in trying to bind a load, started for .

The result wa-the load binder. The invention was
soon in the hands of the trade and itis now in use all
over the world. Like all inventions so simple in con-
struction and so effective in application, comment has
been general as to why it was not earlier evolved.

In the yards, as well asin the woods, the average
teamster spends from ten minutes to half an hour trying
to bind his load of lumber or logs safely with a piece of
two by four. a crooked pole or an iron bar, anditisa
matter of conjecture just how far the load will get be-
fore a spill. Again, in the tugging and straining neces-
sary in the old-fashioned method many a valuable piece
of lumber has been culled or rejected on account of be-
ing mashed by the chain pressing into it. In the Good-
year method you can tell by the eye how much slack
has to be taken up and you simply have to insert each
of the grab hooks of the binder into the chain and close

_ MISCELLANEOUS SUGGESTIONS ON EMERY

WHEELS.

An emery wheel isa circular file ; if on some par-
ticular work a wheel does not run well, it may often
be made satisfactory by changing the speed.

If a wheel fills or glazes it suggests that it is speeded
too high, or is too hard for the work.

Start new wheels on slow speed cone. Endeavor to
maintain the rim speed as the wheels wear down, or, in
other words, increase the speed of the spindle as the
diameter of wheel decreases. Keep the wheels per-

fectly balanced and true by use of emery wheel dresser.

¢

c
.

>
“3

Keep the boxes well oiled and free from dust. Look

out for heating and expansion of arbors.

Don’t leave your machine running if the bearings are
not well oiled, as your arbor may get hot and expand
and burst the wheel.

Don't run a machine if the arbor is loose, as it will
jump and not do good work, and may break the wheel.

Don’t put a wheel on the floor when you take it off

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN | 2

the machine; have ashelf to put it on. Take good
care of the wheel if you want it to do good work.

Avoid heavy contact of wheels with work, as this
causes a wheel to glaze and fill up much more rapidly
than a light contact.

Never hack wheels, as they are liable to be broken
vor cracked so badly that they will break in use.
Wheels should be run toward the operator.

The working strain is as the square of the velocity.
If the revolutions be doubled the working strain will be
increased four times.

Never crowd a wheel upon an arbor.
it unless an easy fit. Use good sized concaved flanges.
Never mount wheels without flanges.

If a wheel shows soft toward the center, it suggests
that it has not been speeded up asit wore down, so
that the rim speed has become slower, which causes
the wheel to wear away faster and to appear softer.

Don’t mount

Have your emery wheel equipped with dust pipe and
exhauster where possible.

Remember that wheels do not often break from inher-
ent weakness or defects. Most accidents arising in the
use of wheels are due to carelessness or ignorance.

Common causes of accidents are : Catching of work
between the wheel and the rest ; heating and expansion
of arbors ; using too small or too light flanges, and not
having them properly concaved; not using any flanges,
but simply screwing on a nut against the wheel ; allow-
ing arbors to become loose in the boxes from cutting
and wear ; running wheels on shaky machines ; allow-
ing the emery wheel to descend on the saw tooth, or
feed finger to push against the wheel when in throat.—

Stouffville, Ont. Burks Falls, Ont., Feb. 13, 1903.
GENTLEMEN,—In answer to your inquiry with regard to the S. George Lumber Register, we desire t®
say that it has given every satisfaction. We put in one of 18000 ft. capacity lineal in the spring of 1902 and
have used it constantly ever since and it has never given any trouble whatever, has never been out of order
or laid up for repairs. We may further say that we are so well pleased with it that we have ordered another
of the larger capacity of 60,000 ft. lineal, which we intend to use on another machine In conclusion we
may say that we do not see how this machine could be improved upon and we feel certain that it will bea
long time before a lumber register is produced which will be superior to the S. George. Yours truly,

THE KNIGHT BROS. CO., HENRY KNIGHT, Manager.

FRASER & COMPANY’S NEW ,MILL AT
DESCHENE.

The new saw mill of Fraser & Company,
which was erected during the winter of 1902-3,
is situated on the north shore of Lake Deschene,
on the Ottawa River, about 7 miles above Ot-
tawa city, and on the line of the Hull Electric
Railway and the Pontiac branch of the Ottawa,

Allis-Chalmers double-cutting telescopic band
mills, with two of Waterous’ heavy cast steel
carriages, one having trailer for long timber ;
one Mershon 7-foot band resaw, and two Rog-
ers’ double edgers, one of these edgers being
arranged with a gang side of ten saws to take
8 inch cants. Fig. 1 shows the two double
cutting band mills and the resaw.

ger or slash as required, or, if finished, allowed
to pass on to end of rollers.

The resaw is situated directly between and
behind the band mills and takes cants for centre
cutting and any large slabs, from each mill.
The edgers are situated further down and _ be-
tween the live rolls from band mills and resaw,
with live transfers so arranged that sidings can

Northern and Western Railway. It is one of
the most up-to-date mills in Canada.

The foundation of the main building and lath
mill is laid on concrete piers, which go down
to solid rock, and each post of the mill frame
rests directly upon one of these, thus obviat-
ing the necessity of bottom sills. The mill
proper (Fig. 2) is 85 feet by 208 feet long, and
the lath mill annex 45 feet by 55 feet.

The sawing floor at present consists of two

Each or any one machine can be stopped |] or
started independent of each other, all of
them being arranged with clutches or fric-
tions.

The live rolls from the bands extend in front
of the log deck, the log being carried over these
by a steam log loader with extended arms; the
lumber on the back cut drops on these rolls and
passes through the throat of the mill where all
lumber and slabs are tripped to the re-saw ed-

be tripped ;by"the off-bearer to either edger from
the resaw. All three sets of rolls continue
over the slash chains, where slabs are tripped
off and the finished lumber passes on from the
edgers or live rolls, as the case may be, and is
received upon a set of three live camels back or
No. 500 chains, which run across the tail end
of mill, and is there handled upon the trimming
table, which runs upon a slant in an opposite

direction and directly under the camel chain,

taking the lumber from the sawing floor to the
sorting shed on the ground level.

The sorting shed is some 250 feet long ar-
ranged with sets of rollers on each side, the
lumber being rolled in stocks upon lorries pro-
vided with swing tables and transferred to the
yard by horses.

The yard (Fig. 3) is arranged with standard
gaugetracksrunningatright angles with the mill
and parallel with each other and spaced about
one-hundred feet apart. Rollers are also ar-
ranged between the piles, which are put up two
deep from each track. With this arrangement
of rollers the lorries are quickly unloaded and
two men with one horse drawing two lorries
load and unload between 50,000 and 60,000
feet per day on an average draw of nearly half
a mile.

The shipping is done from the same tracks,
empty cars being drawn from the siding which

posite the piles required, and when loaded again
drawn to’ the siding for the engine to take
hold of. When the yard is finished there will
be from ten to fifteen of these tracks, all con-
necting with the siding from the railroad at one
end and the siding from the mill at the other.

The power plant consists of a solid brick
power house, 70 feet x 80 feet, with an iron
and steel grider roof, containing six boilers of
150 horse power each, suspended ‘from heavy
steel beams in batteries of two each, and ar-
ranged with Dutch ovens. The boilers and fit-
tings complete were supplied by W. J. Camp-
bell & Sons, of Ottawa. The engine is a heavy
type Reynolds Corliss of 750° horse power,
built by the Allis-Chalmers Company, of Mil-
waukee. Only four'of the boilers are at pres-
ent being used, the-other two being for spares
or for power in event of increasing the cutting
capacity, there being room left for a pair of
twins and a gate, or another band-mill, to be
added.

THE QUESTION OF A LUMBER DUTY.
[CONTRIBUTED.]

Supply and demand are, as they have al-
ways been, factors paramount in regulating
the prices of commodities, and, of course, lum-
ber is a much sought after commodity and
subject to the same great law.

Competition is a strong force in regulating
prices, and may be said to be a subsidiary to
supply, inasmuch as it works on and through
supply. In times of prosperity competition is
not felt so keenly, but when depressions come
its every manifestation is felt by each of its
parts in the same line of business.

The lumbermen of British Columbia are
feeling this competition from their rivals on
the American side, and are agitating to bring
about redress of certain existing greivances.
They are appealing to the Dominion Govern-
ment for better legislation in the matter of
duty, and the following remarks may help to
show the justice of their contention.

During five months at the beginning of
1903, there was.imiported into Canada timber
and manufactured lumber to the value of
$3,609,272, of which $745,432 was dutiable
and ‘$2,863,840 free of duty. Of the full
amount imported over 96 per cent. came. from
the United States, and of this 96 per cent. 80
per cent. was free and the rest dutiable, or for
every dollar’s value imported therefrom on
which we collected revenue,there was $4.36 on
which we collected no revenue,and not only did
over 96 per cent. of all the imports come from
the United States, but 78 per cent. of the total
amount came on the free list from them. Of this
amount on the free list,about 92 per cent. con-
sisted of timber, planks and boards.

- The Eastern States depend largely for their:

supplies of spruce,
Ontario,

pine, hemlock, etc., on

Quebec and New Brunswick, and

Fic. 4.—LaTH PILED IN YARD.

_ Charles Proper, the well known millwright of

Ottawa, asisted in superintendence by Mr. J.
A. Story, manager of Fraser & Company’s sawn
lumber department. Mr. Proper has built

. twenty-two mills in Canada and the United
_~ States, including the mills of J. R. Booth,

Gilmour & Hughson and the Hull Lumber

ai fy Company at Ottawa, McLachlan Bros. at Arn-
sit prior, and the James Maclaren Company at

Buckingham. He is one of the most capable
millwrights of the day, and the new mill of

Fraser & Company is a splendid example of his
skill.

therefore those provinces will scarcely be buy-
ers of such commodities from the States, and
hence the bulk of the imports, especially in
pine, spruce, cedar, fir, hemlock, eétc., are
taken into the prairie provinces of the Domin-
ion and to a very large extent are the product
of the Western American mills.

Again, these Western mills have an advant-
age over their Canadian competitors in that,
not only are they protected by their own high
tariff rates, but they have the same freight
rates over their railroads to most places in the
Canadian West as the Western Canadian

Ce ! se ws “ .
manufacturers, and besides they have the same _

access to Canadian markets as the Canadian
himself for those lines which they find most
difficulty in disposing of in their own country.
The proportion of high grade lumber and
rough is, generally speaking, about 1 to 3.
Almost always there is a demand for the high-
er grades, while even in a good market per-
sistent endeavor is necessary to dispose of al]
the coarser and rough grades.

There is a duty in the United States of $1

per M. feet B. M. on all timber not less than
8 inches square, of one cent. per cubic foot on
boards, planks, deals and others of whitewood,
sycamore and basswood; of $1 per M. feet
on any other N. O. P.; and $2 per M. feet on

‘rough lumber ; on cedar boards, planks or

deals 20 per cent. ad valorem; on boards,
planks, deals or timbers when planed or fin
ished, 50 cents per M. feet B. M. for each side
dressed, and when two sides are dressed and
tongued and grooved $1.50 per M. feet B. M.
Now, as we do not ship whitewood, syca-
more or basswood from British Columbia, we
are subject to a $2 duty on any pine, hemlock,
spruce or fir we may wish to send to the

SL eel

United States. nee

Furthermore, it is only by dressing our di-
mension stuff to a large extent that we reduce
very materially the weight, and are enabled to
reduce the cost of freight and so increase the
duty. Heavy dimensions are all dressed on at
least two sides, and this adds another dollar to
the duty charges on shipping into the United
States, making a handicap against us of $3
per M. on these grades which we have to bear
if we seek to enter American territory wih our
coarser grades. 4

And what are the conditions heh the Am-
erican enters. our market? Why! he can
bring in all his undressed lumber free of duty
as well as his dimension stuff, and can even ei
to the length of dressing one side and still
bring it in free. If two sides are dressed he
pays then only 50 cents per M. feet duty:

Taking, therefore, these points into. consider- —
ation and reviewing the position as it is now,

the British Columbia manufacturers are more

than justified in their contention. The American ;

has his own market entirely protected, where
he can sell all his higher grade lines at a fair

margin, which profit is good enough to a ,

him to dump his surplus rough grades into the ©
Canadian market at a figure below the actual
cost of production and other charges noe

in laying it down there, and so to save his own

market and seriously demoralize that of his
competitors. Such a thing is actually being
done at present and will continue as long as
the unfair conditions prevail.

Another point is that the Canadian manu-
facturers have to pay a duty of 30 percent. on
the majority of their plant which they are com-
pelled to procure on the American side, and so
the initial cost of manufacturing is consider-
ably augmented.

The question cannot be too emphatically
raised before the Dominion authorities and
legislation brought about to immediately rem-
edy the present state of things. The lumber

industry is of vast importance to British Col-

umbia and Western Canada, and to protect
and foster the expansion thereof issurely a
The con-
tention of the manufacturers to increase the
duty to be equal at any rate to that imposed by
the United States Government is certainly

only fair and just.

PLAN FOR WOOD-WORKING FACTORY.

The engravings show first and second floor
plan of a shop designed by Mr. N. A. Curtis
and published in the October number of Car-
pentry, and Building, New York city. This
shop is designed to meet the requirements in
the smaller cities and towns. The main build-
ing is of brick, 45x85 feet. The engine room
is 22x24 feet. In presenting the plans Mr.
Curtis says:

The buildings are of brick, the main one be-
ing two storeys and basement in height. The
lower storey has a 16 inch wall and the second
storey a 12-inch wall. This, at first, may ap-
pear heavy, but whether a shop be built in a

‘small town or large city, the building should

be equally strong. Especially is this true in a
wood-working shop, as there is no class of
machinery which receives as rough usage, runs
out of balance and tends to shake the walls of
a building as that built for working wood. My

FIRST FLOOR.

experience has taught that a few hundred dol-
lars added to the first cost in strengthening the
building will double the life of it, while at the
same time there will be greater satisfaction in
turning out the work. Another reason for
strength in building is that if at any time an
increase in business demands more room, the
roof can be raised and an additional storey or
two be put on without fear of the lower por-

tion being too weak to sustain the extra weight.

I have provided one row of posts running
lengthwise of the building in the basement and
first floor, only the basement posts and girders
are 12x12 inches, while those on the first floor
are IOxIO inches.

The main line shaft is located in the base-
ment, as indicated on the first floor plan. My
reasons for running the line shaft under the
floor are that the machinery is belted from be-
low, and it runs steadier by bearing down upon
it. The belts are also out of the way, allowing
freedom of handling stock, which is not obtain-
ed when the machinery is belted from above.

Starting at the back end of the shop on the
first floor, we have the double surfacer, from
which the stuff generally goes to the rip saw,
which is conveniently located, and then the ma-
terial can be laid at the molder or swing cut-off
saw, from whence it can be carried up the stairsat
either end of the room, according to what part
of the second floor it goes. The jointer is
located on the first floor for squaring up porch
posts, balusters, etc., which afterward go to
the turning lathe.

An inspection of the second floor plan will
show that all sash, door, blind and other stock
which requires laying out on the bench at the
head of the rear stairway is convenient to the
tenoner, mortiser, sticker and relisher, while the
door clamp is at the rear of the building, far-
thest from the office, and yet handy to the
second floor dry-kiln, which can be used to
warm the stock before driving up. The reader
will find on the second floor a variety wood
worker and boring machine, which can be used
for all gaining, rebating, plowing, jointing and
other work which requires to be worked over
acutterhead. The rip and cut-off saw, as well
as the pulley borer, are convenient to the
benches where the frames are puttogether. A
triple-drum sander for sanding doors, etc., is
conveniently located for the purpose.

As the amount of kiln-dried lumber used in a
planing mill is small, 1 have not provided a
very large dry-kiln, yet it is sufficient, I think,
for the purpose. For this reason I have placed
it inside the main building at the rear, where it
is convenient of access when only a board or
two is needed.

The foreman’s office is located directly over
the main office for the sake of convenience, as
it permits of ready communication with the
foreman when he is wanted. The two doors
in front and the four doors on the side enable
material to be loaded without the necessity of
carrying it from one end of the shop to the
other.

The boiler and engine house is separated
trom the main building for various reasons. In
the first place, the engine is out of the dust and
dirt of the shop, which will lengthen its life, and,
in the second place, all oils, grease and the
like can be kept in tin cans in the engine room
and in direct charge of the engineer. The
boiler is separated from the engine room by a
brick wall, and there is also room for water
heater, feed pump, etc. The main drive belt
runs from the engine to the countershaft just
inside of the basement wall of the main build-
ing. The countershaft is put up on twolt2x12
inch posts, the bottoms of which, as well as
the two posts directly in front of them, which

hold the main line shaft, are set in iron bases,
which, in turn, are anchored to their foundations
by bolts. The engine for a shop of this size
should not be less than 60-horse power, with a
75-horse power boiler. The main belt from the
engine should be boxed over in order to keep
all weather from it, and the underground pas-
sage for the bottom of the belt should be made
wide enough for a man to walk in along the
side of belt.

I prefer hot air for heating, as it is more sat-
isfactory, is perfectly safe, and the insurance is
lighter where this method is employed. The

heater can be located under the second floor,
close to the dry-kiln, and can be supplied from
the pipe leading to the dry-kiln, thus having
but one steam pipe running from the boiler, and
keeping all the steam in the rear end of the
shop. I have not provided a blower for shav-
ings and sawdust, but this can be arranged to
the owner’sliking after the building is completed.
A system of this kind should be installed in
every shop wherever possible, as it will not
only pay for itself in a shori time, in the saving
of labor, but the shop is always kept free from
piles of shavings and sawdust, which often
hinder the men in their work.

Suddenly on December 17th death summoned
Mr. Frederick T. Wilkes, secretary-treasurer
of the Waterous Engine Works Company, of
Brantford, Ont. He had not even complained
of feeling unwell, but as he was walking home
he was seized with a fainting spell and expired
before medical assistance could reach him. De-
ceased was in his 56th year, and had apparent-
ly been in the best of health up to the time in
his death.
local business circles, was particularly active,

He was a well-known figure of

and a man of determination and courage. Born
in Owen Sound in 1847, he was the son of
Judge Wilkes. He went to Brantford some
thirty-five years ago, entering the employ in
the Waterous Company. Here he gained of
a large measure the practical business ability
which in after years contributed so greatly to
his success as controller of enormous industrial
interests.

Mr. Wilkes never took an active part in
public life, but was a careful student of the
questions of the day that affected the welfare of
the country. Mrs. Wilkes and three sons sur-
vive him.

example, by the excellent preservation of a statue made

The conditions governing the purchase of
the linits were different in some respects from
those of any previous sale. The timber was
subject to dues of $2 per thousand feet, as com-

pared with $1. 25 fixed at the last sal Ol,
and $1 previous to that time. The annual :
ground rent was increased from $3 to $5 per
mile, and the time allowed for the removal of —
the timber was limited to fifteen years. Con-
sidering these facts, the prices realized were
remarkable. Shortly after one o’clock; the
auctioneer ascended the platform in front of
the speakers’ dais and pointedly remarkcd:
‘*Monarchs of the lumber trade, 1am pleased
to see you here to-day; your presence betokens
the confidence you have in the rising values of
these coniferous properties. There is no busi
ness in Canada or elsewhere that presents such |
encouraging opportunities as the lumber trade,
no business where so few failures have to hey
recorded. It is unnecessary for me to tell you a
that from time to time wehear that the value —
of pine seems to have reached its limit, but i it.
still keeps cn increasing. It was said twenty
years ago that the price was too high, but we
know that it is higher now.” ‘

It was evident from the outset that many 4
were present through a desire to obtain limits.

keen. Every berth offered was disposed of, ie, >
and in less than four hours the auctioneer had _ a : Ta.

‘Speaking of his purchase at the top-notch

figure, Mr. Mackie said that he feared no loss.

It is understood that there is on the berth a
very large quantity of timber which will make

splendid stock for the British market, on

which no doubt Mr. Mackie is relying. While
admitting that it was a profitable sale for the
Government, he expects there will be some
profit left for him.

The Commissioner of Crown Lands stated
that he was more than satishied with the result
of the sale, the receipts being greater than
were expected. ‘‘The heavy demand fer good
timber such as is found in Ontario and the
tuilding of the Temiskaming Railway were
the two principal reasons, to his mind, why
such good prices’were realized. ‘‘This sale was
well conducted, the lumbermen had plenty of
time to examine the limits and know what
they were bidding on,” added Mr. Davis, ‘‘and
I am sure everyone should be satisfied.”

It will be observed that practically all the
eastern limits went to Canadians. The Ameri-
cans were apparently not prepared to pay the
price, and hence had to be content without the
timber. Mr. T. H. Shevlin was a large pur-
chaser of Rainy River berths. He was acting
for the Shevlin-Clarke Company, who are

building a saw mill at Fort Francis, Ont.

The witticisms of the auctioneer were no
doubt responsible for many a bid. By @ con-
stant flow of mirthful yet eloquent oratory the
bidders were kept in the best of spirts and the
importance of the occasion was almost for-
gotten. As a timber limit auctioneer Peter

Ryan stands alone.
EEE
p AXE HANDLES.

Mr. J. S. Larke, Canadian Commissioner at
Sydney, Australia, writes that a trial order for
axe handles has been forwarded to a Canadian
factory, and if the importing charges are not
too high, regular business‘will result.

A PROFITABLE INVESTMENT.

If you want a grate to burn wet, green or frozen
sawdust or other refuse, at all times, summer and win-
ter, rain or shine, without stopping for repairs, or to
wait for steam to rise, buy the Gordon Hollow Blast
Grate, which is sold on approval after thirty days trial,
and of which there are over 2500 sets in daily use. It
is manufactured only by the Gordon Hollow Blast
Grate Company, Greenville, Michigan.

A WELL-KNOWN LUMBER SALESMAN,

“To the manner born” may aptly be applied
co the lumber salesman whose countenance is
shown on this page. Securing in early days
a practical knowledge of the lumber business,
and being possessed of a geniality which is
constantly widening his circle of friends, W. J.
MacBeth stands in the front rank as a lumber
traveller. He a Scottish-Canadian, his
grandparents having come from Sutherland-

is

shire, Scotland, to Canada by way of Hudson’s
Bay in 1812, and settled in the township of
West Gwillimbury, County of Simcoe, Ontario.
His father was the late John MacBeth, lum-
berman, of Gilford, Simcoe County, who was
well known and will be remembered by many
of the older lumbermen in and around Toronto.

The subject of our sketch from boyhood as-
sisted his father in the woods, driving oxen,
tramping trails, hewing timber, and later in
the more responsible positions. He has fol-
lowed the lumber from the stump to the build-
ing, and has thus acquired a knowledge of

Mr. W. J. MacBeTu.

which he is justly proud. Upon the death of
his father in 1881, he took charge of the man-
ufacturing department, the business at that
time comprising two mills, one at Gilford and
the other at Craighurst, in Simcoe County,
and a retail lumber, coal and wood yard,
which was the first yard in Parkdale. The
pine timber supply finally becoming exhausted,
Mr. MacBeth, in 1888, came to Toronto and
took charge of the planing mill which had
been added to the business.

In 1892 the building trade in Toronto col-
lapsed. It was then that W. J. Mac-
Beth became a lumber inspector and sales-
man, finding engagement with such represent-
ative firms as the Dickson Company of Peter-
borough, The Boake Manufacturing Company,
A. R. Williams Machinery Company, of To-
ronto, and the J. D. Shier Lumber Company,
of Bracebridge, his present employers, with
whom he engaged four years ago. The fore-
going firms doing an extensive business in
rough and dressed lumber and sash and doors,
it has given Mr. MacBeth an opportunity of
acquiring a thorough knowledge of the trade,

~ which is one of the reasons why he stands in

the front ranks. He has a fund reminiscences,
amongst which the following are worthy — of
mention :

Although only a little

decade ago, the prices then realized for lumber

more than a

present a striking contrast to those ruling to-
day. ‘‘I remember,” said Mr. MacBeth to the
writer, ‘‘buying a stock of first and second oak
at $12, and some hemlock at $5.50 f,0. beats
at Hillsdale. To-day this oak is worth $45
and the hemlock $12. In 1881 1 bought No.

stocks at $8.50 and mill culls at $3.50, and
notch prices.”

I sold clear and picks at $24, common

Thus it can be seen that time is a worker of

top

wonders.

The output of the Shier Lumber Company’s
mill is about 14,000,000 feet annually, con-
sisting of pine, hemlock and hardwood lumber.
The selling of this stock is entirely in the
hands of Mr. MacBeth, who has a wide con-
nection in both home and foreign markets,
having sold a large block of this year’s out-
put toa British exporter. In this connection it
may be stated that Mr. J. D. Shier was the
pioneer in the end-matched hardwood flooring
business, Mr. MacBeth having induced him to
put in the first end matcher in Canada for the
production of this class of stock, which has
Mr. Shier also had the
courage to install the first single-cutting as
well as the first double-cutting band mill in

ADVERTISING RATES ON APPLICATION.

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN is published in the interests of the
lumber, wood-working and allied industries, being the only
representative in Canada of these important interests. It aims
at giving full and timely information on allsubjects touching
these interests, and invites free discussion by its readers.

Especial pains are taken to secure for publication in the
WEEKLY LUMBERMAN the latest and most trustworthy market
quotations throughout the world, so as to afford to the trade at
home and abroad information on which it can rely in its
operations. Subscribers will find the small amount they pay
for the CANADA LUMBERMAN quite insignificant as compared
with its value tothem. There is not an individual in the trade,
or specially interested in it, who should not be on our list, thus
obtaining the present benefit and aiding and encouraging us to
render it even more complete.

Advertisers will receive careful attention and liberal treat-
ment. For manufacturing and supply firms wishing to bring
their goods to the attention of owners and operators of saw
and planing mills, wood-working factories, pulp mills, etc.,

.the CANADA LUMBERMAN is undoubtedly the cheapest and
most profitable advertising medium. Special attention is
micected, to ‘“WANTED” and ‘‘ For SALE”’ advertisements, which
are inserted in a conspicuous position on front page of the
Weekly Edition.

LUMBER PROSPERITY.

The year 1903 will always bring pleasant
recollections to lumberman. It was a- year
marked by unusual prosperity, and interrup-
tions to the steady movement of trade were
comparatively few. The lumber manufacturer
did not worry about selling his lumber, nor the
machinery manufacturer or dealer about dis-
posing of his goods. There was a demand for
everything,consequently good feeling prevailed.
A very large number of persons were given
employment by the lumber industry, and at
wages higher than were ever known before.
This has in turn been a source of benefit to the
country at large. The exceedingly high scale
of wages, however, has greatly curtailed the
profits accruing from lumber manufacture.

Indications point to a continuation of pros-
perity during 1904, but perhaps in a lesser
degree. The Presidential election in the
United States is sure to be a disturbing factor
in that country, which may buy less Canadian
lumber than in the past year. We must not
_ forget, however, that onr own industries are
developing very rapidly, consuming greater
quantities of lumber, and we are gradually be-
coming less dependent upon foreign markets.

THE CaNADA LUMBERMAN enjoyed its full
share of prosperity during the year. The num-
__ ber of subscribers has increased nearly fifty per
cent., while the advertising pages bear testi-
_ mony to the liberal support that has been ex-
_ tended in that direction. This number marks
_ the commencement of the twenty-fifth year of
publication. Our aim in the future, as in the
_ past, will be to make the journal fittingly

accord with the great industry which it
represents.

THE ONTARIO TIMBER SALE.

In more than, one respect the Ontario
Government may be congratulated upon the
success of the recent sale of timber limits.
First, the excellent prices which were obtained,
being an average of $792:00 per square mile
higher than had ever been obtained before, is
evidence that the sale was held at an opportune
time and that it was conducted in a manner
calculated to encourage the keenest possible
competition. A factor to that end was, no
doubt, the division of thé limits in most in-
stances into small blocks. Secondly, if such
were needed, the sale would seem to justify
the building of the Temiskaming and Northern
Ontario Railway and the general policy of
railway construction through unsettled lands.
Many of the limits sold are located adjacent to
the Temiskaming road, and it is estimated tl.at
its construction increased their value to the
province fully one million dollars. It is per-
haps only fair to state that the increase in the
stumpage dues trom $1.25 to $2.00 per thous-
and feet was also a wise step from the Gov-
ernment’s point of view, whatever may be said
to the contrary by the lumbermen.

It is not only the Government that has been
benefitted by the sale. The value of all
standing timber has been increased and all
owners thereof enriched. Future calculations
will be based on a bonus value of seven dollars
per acre instead of about five dollars, as in the
past. Nor must we lose sight of the fact that
while the average price paid was seven dollars
per acre, one limit commanded almost fifty
dollars per acre. There could be no stronger
proof of the great and ever increasing value of
white pine. This splendid timber is, of course,
becoming scarcer, but the Province of Ontario
still possesses no inconsiderable quantity, and
the recent sale is an incentive to preserve it as
Not only is it an incentive to the
Government, but to all owners of timber.

The time limit allowed for cutting the
timber purchased has been the subject of some
criticism, on the ground that it is practically
giving a bonus for removing the timber within
the specified time of fifteen years. This brings
up the question of the advisability of granting
long term or perpetual leases, on which there
are widely differing opinions, and whether the
timber is likely to be better preserved under
private ownership or in the hands of the Crown.
In justification of the application of the fifteen-
year regulation to the sale in question, it is
pointed out that the total quantity disposed ot
represents probably not more than two years’
cut.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The timber industry will benefit materially
by the construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific
Railway. The tie contract alone, which will
probably be given to one general contractor,
will bea large undertaking, not to speak of the
vast amount of timber that will be required for
the construction of bridges, stations, fences,

etc. “The number of ties required forthe entire

distance of four thousand miles will probably
not be less than ten million, which on the basis
of the present price of thirty cents per tie,
would mean an expenditure of three million
dollars. As along a considerable portion of the
proposed route timber is quite plentiful, the
supply of ties is likely to be obtained at a com-
paratively low cost. :

Another advance has been made towards
uniform grading of hardwood lumber by the
agreement last month upon certain rules to be

recognized by the members of the National

Hardwood Lumber Association and the Hard-
wood Manufacturers’ Association of the

United States. These rules will in future be E

A splendid suggestion is “made by a corres-
pondent in this issue, namely, that lumber

manufacturers should devote more attention to —

educating their employees, and particularly
those holding responsible positions, such as
filers and sawyers. Everyone in the business
knows of the vast amount of lumber that is re-
duced in value by being improperly sawn-

HOO-HOO CONCATENATION AT TORONTO
With all the solemn and fantastic rites of

the Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo, forty |

new members to the Toronto branch of this
mysterious order were initiated on December
gth, and enabled to partake of its benefits
The gathering of gentlemen in Toronto to take
advantage of the timber sale was curiously
coincident with one of the requirements of the
order, namely, that meetings be held on the
ninth day of the month. The gentlemen who
‘selected the date of the sale probably did not
designate that day for that reason, but Hoo-
Hoo, who watches over the fortunes of the

of all concerned.

Walter C. Laidlaw, new Snark for Eastern
Canada, held his first initiation, and twenty-
five Hoo-Hoo and forty purblind kittens played
through the Gardens east and west and
through the beautiful Onion Bed, and partook
of the ‘‘On the Roof” together.

- Hoo-Hoo, who had been confined in trunk
No. 5 for a long time, was very playful. The

“Onion Bed was particularly fragrant, and

tears, not of sorrow but of joy, wet the cheek
of the on-looking kittens. Gentlemen who
were strangers to each other, groping in the
darkness of the Onion Bed, met one another
and immediately knew that they had met a
friend reaching out something to them, though

‘they could not clearly see what it was.

The ‘“‘On the Roof” looked like this :

an ideal country club building, and the con-
struction will be entirely of wood in order to
show the various possibilities of the forest

products of the United States. In size it will
be 132x97 feet, with spacious verandahs ex-
tending around the entire structure, a
special feature of this verandah being that
access will be possible into every room on
the main floor by means of large French
windows.

The building will contain an office, check
room, telephone booths, large rotunda with a
magnificent stairway leading to the second
floor, and an auditorium with a seating capac-
ity of 400. This auditorium will be Leautifully
finished in mission style and be used for holding
lumber conventions, Hoo-Hoo concatenations
and as a banquet hall. There have been pro-
vided six luxurious lounging and writing rooms,
equipped with every convenience. A commod-
ious reception room with large fire-place, a
retiring room, etc., will be especially fitted
up for the ladies.

The general style of the building is materially
changed from that originally planned and it is
generally believed that the change is for the
better. In the first place, the construction be-
ing entirely of wood, will be much snore satis-
factory for a lumberman’s building. It also
contains its main features on the ground floor,
which is a decided advantage over the building
originally planned. It will. be home-like in
every detail and will undoubtedly be one of
the most attractive features of the great
fair.

And one of the fundamental ideas of the
whole proposition has not been forgotten. The
House of Hoo-Hoo will be a school in which
much can be learned of modern methods of
wood construction and finishing. The latest
idea will be brouyht out and the world will
learn much that it did not know,

‘THE CANADA LUMBERMAN | em

“WOOD MANUFACTURED” UNCLASSIFIED.
United States Customs Appraiser Fischer

has recently delivered an opinion which is es-
pecially interesting as showing that there is no
provision in the present tariff law for ‘‘wood
manufactured,” though there is such a provis-
ion for This is
what a foreigner would perhaps call a ‘‘curios-
ity of the English language.”

“manufactures of wood.”

The ‘‘manufactured wood,” which was im-
ported by J. G. Sturman, of New York, con-
sists of alderwood boards about ¥-inch thick,
and varying in length from 26 to 39 inches,
and in width froth 4 to 10 inches. On one
side there is an imprint made to imitate the
grain of cedar wood, in order to render the
same suitable for making cigar boxes. Duty
was assessed thereon by the collector, at the
rate of 35 per cent. ad valorem, under the pro-
visions of paragraph 208 of the act of July 2a,
1897, while the importer claims that the lum-
ber is properly dctiable either at $1, $2, or $3
per 1000 feet, board measure, under paragraph
195, as boards or sawed lumber; or 15 or 20
per cent. ad valorem, under paragraph 198, as
sawed boards, not further manufactured than
sawed, or a wood unmanufactured, or under
paragraph 203 at 30c. per 1,000 shooks. or un-
der section 6, as an unenumerated manufact-
ured article, at 20 per cent. ad valorem. i

The board of appraisers holds that the fact
that these boards or strips have been printed
to represent cedar does not make them manu-
factures of wood. By reason of that operation,
the merchandise was not given a new name,
character or use, but. still remained wood.
The assessment of duty as a manufacture of
wood was erroneous.

This being settled, the question to be de-
termined was how should those alder-wood
boards be assessed. It appears from the testi-
mony that these boards were cut from the log;
by a veneering machine. Having been pro-'
duced in this manner, the merchandise is,{
therefore, not sawed boards, or boards not|
further advanced than sawed. It is clearly!
not veeners, for it does not answer to the com-
mercial or common understanding of that arti-
cle, nor are they shingles or shooks. There is
no provision in the tariff tor ‘‘wood manufact-
ured.” The provisions of paragraph 208 cover
only ‘‘manufactures of wood,” and do not in-]

aes lS I eI a ISS . SS Ss —

clude ‘‘wood manufactured.” The first cover

articles made of wood and the latter would in-_

clude wood cut into forms which still retain
their name, character and use as wood. It
seems, therefore, that there is here a class of
wood not specially provided for, and the claim
in the protest that it is dutiable under section 6
is well founded; but the board holds that, as
the merchandise is similar, and, in fact, identi-
cal, in material, texture and use; to boards
sawed and finished on both sides, it is dutiable
under the provisions of paragraph 195, by.vir-
tue of section 7, known as the similitude clause.
The pertinent provision of paragraph 195 is as
follows :

“195. Sawed lumber notspecially provided
for in this act, $2 per 1000 feet, board measure;
but when lumber of any sort is planed or} fin-
ished, in addition to the rates herein provided,
there shall be levied and paid for each side so
planed or finished 50c. per 1,000 feet, board
measure.”

The summing up of the decision is as fol-
lows : Alder-wood boards ¥% inch thick, and
varying from 26 to 39 inches in length, and
from 4 to 10 inches in width, having an im-
print thereon to imitate th> grain of cedar, are
not dutiable as manufactures of wood under
paragraph 208, act of July 24, 1897, but are
dutiable by similitude under paragraph 195.
Such wood, being planed or finished on both
sides, is dutiable at the rate o* $3 per 1000
feet, board measure, under said paragraph 195.

To constitute a manufacture of wood, it is
necessary that the wood should have lost its
name, character and use as wood, and become
a new article, with a new name, character and

use.
—————

To become successful a business must be constantly
making new acquaintances and when the business is
right these acquaintances become friends. There are
many and various ways, by which this can be done says
the St. Louis Builder, but the best way for a business
to make new acquaintances is to advertise. Introduce
your business to those who are most liable to be in-
terested in you, let them learn from the face of your
advertisement what your good points are, and keep
them constantly reminded of them. Don’t be afraid
that you will be deemed too bold or too forward—these
traits are virtues in business, and will make acquaint-
ances for you if you can live up to the good point&
you claim.

PIPING SAWDUST FROM BAND SAW.
Your correspondent, the Indiana Box Com-
pany, wishes to know how to successtully pipe
a band saw ; in other words, to know how to
get rid of the sawdust. I think the sketch
will give the desired information.
In order to convey 95 per cent. of the dust,
you should make a sheet iron hopper, with a
door in front, to fit to the bottom of saw table,
giving no more space in hopper than is neces-
sary to get the guides under the table (that

PipiInc SAWDUST FROM BAND SAw.

takes the ‘‘flutter” out of the saw). Make the
side of hopper next to band wheel on an angle
of 30 degrees ; let it angle to, say, 5-inch pipe _
and have your saw run through a r-inch slot
cut through hopper. If your piping is good
and tight, and you have a good suction, you
can bet on the results. be Sy

Referring to sketch, you can pipe from the
hopper in either direction, but I think the one
shown by the dotted lines the best, as you can
go around the frame of the machine, keeping
pipe out of the way. We haye several
machines piped in this manner, giving first-
class results.—Correspondent of The Wood-
Worker.

A SAW MILL RECORD. . r

A Midland, Ont., correspondent writes: ‘In
the J. Playfair sawmill, in Midland, on No-
vember 19, was made the fastest thousand
lath cut, when one thousand lath were cut in
three minutes, twelve seconds, under the |
management of A. Laidlaw, jun. He also —
broke the world’s record in 1901, cutting 84
thousand lath in 10% hours, at another mill
here.”

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

SSS

The close of the year finds Ontario lum-
ber ina strong position. - Notwithstanding
the activity in manufacturing, millmen
have been able to dispose of a very large
percentage of their cut and are carrying
light stocks in their yards. Box lumber,
mill culls and dead culls in pine have
passed out of manufacturers’ hands almost
entirely, and it would be difficult to find a
large block of any of these grades. The
Tupply of dressing and better, which has
sold more slowly during the fall months, is
somewhat larger but not above an average ~
stock. An Ottawa valley manufacturer
reports that he has sold all his lumber and
anticipates higher prices during the com-
ing year. Conditions in the hardwood
trade are equally favorable. Earlier in
the season it was feared that there might
be a large stock of hardwood logs taken
out, but later reports show that a conser-
vative policy is being pursued. We look
for hardwood prices to continue firm and
perhaps advance during the coming spring
unless unusually favorable weather should”
encourage increased logging operations.

The present demand is confined largely
to the lower grades of pine lumber and to
such hardwoods as are required by imple-
ment, furniture,{and other consuming fac-_
tories. There is very little doing in shingles
and lath, and prices, if anything, are in-_
clined to be a little easier.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Prices of spruce lumber keep firm, not
because of the demand, which is only
moderate, but owing to the light supply.
It: is said that some manufacturers are

nH.

curtailing their operations in the woods
this winter owing to the expense ot logging,
and it is predicted that the quantity of logs
for next season's sawing will fall short of
that of the past season. The weather so
far has been favorable for logging, and,
especially in New Brunswick, good pro-
gress has been made. Forecasts of
wintering stocks of spruce deals indicate a
reduction as compared with one year ago.
There is very little life to the shingle
market, extra cedars still ranging from
$3.35 to $3.45 on Boston rate of freight.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

From the standpoint of the manufacturer
the lumber business of Manitoba and the
Territories is not in awery satisfactory
condition. Large quantities of low grade
stock continue to be shipped in from the
mills across the border and sold at cut-
rate prices. As the present consumption
is not large, this leaves but a small trade
for the Canadian mill men. With the turn
of the year more activity is expected and
prices are likely to become steadier.
Winnipeg is looking forward to another
good building season next year. In
British Columbia the local and export
demand is keeping up remarkably well,
but eastern shipments are dull. The new
timber regulations are commanding a
great deal of attention and some modifica-
tion seems likely.

UNITED STATES.

The lumber trade of the past week has
corresponded very closely with what was
expected. There has been some buying
of small luts, but in no respect has the
demand been active. Winter building in
the Eastern States is calling for consider-
able stock, and it is stated that a very

‘light supply is being carried by retail
dealers. Attention is now centred upon
the balancing up of the year’s business
and upon the volume of lumber carried by
manufacturers and dealers. Thereisa
comparatively heavy stock of shop lumber
in the Lake Superior district, but manu-
facturers are disposed to hold until the
prices asked can be realized. No. 1 shop
is held at the mills at $40, No. 2 at
$31, and No. 3 at $18. The scarcity
of box lumber is general, no district re-
porting a large supply. In the Upper
Wisconsin’ and Minneapolis districts the
amount of piece stuff on hand is considered
short of the probable spring demand.
Norway pine is in light stock and held at
firm prices. The general feeling in pine
circles is that a steady volume of business
at good prices will characterize the com-
ing year. A large consumption of low
grade boards is expected, in anticipation
of which a number of orders have already

been placed. Birch, soft elm and bass-
wood lead among the hardwoods. Thick
maple is wanted at Buffalo. Insome
markets ash is also scarce. The cal! for
hemlock dimension and boards is naturally

quiet, but the market is firm and the out-
look for the coming year considered
briy bt.

GREAT BRITAIN.

In the British market orders for lumber
have dropped to the lowest point of the
year. This is due chiefly to the advent of
the holidays, and until after the turn of the
year business will continue very quiet.
Some buying of Canadian pine and spruce
is reported, as dealers and consumers are
beginning to realize that prices of lumber
instock are low when compared with the
prices asked by shippers for next season’s
supply. Prospects for next year are bright-
er than they were three months ago.
While stocks generally are of an average
volume, there is a scarcity of the better
grades. A cargo of spruce from Dalhousie,
N.B., recently reached Liverpool and was
imsmediately purchased by James Halsall
& Son. The price realized has ‘not tran-
spired. The supply of pine deals is con-
centrated in the hands of a few firms, who
are said to have already made their en-
gagements for next season at high prices.
This would seem to guarantee the maia-
tenance of present values for some time to
come.

White Sea shippers are said to be asking
£11 for third quality Archangel redwood
deals. Agents have endeavored to close
contracts on this basis, but it is reported
that few transactions have taken place.
Considerable sales to France and Belgium
are announced,

STOCKS AND PRICES.

Fully 6,000 men are at work this season
in the woods in the Rainy River district.

James Hoey is getting out about 800,-
000 feet of logs at Prince of Wales, in St.
John county, N, B.

Rhodes, Curry & Company, of Amherst,
N. S., intend to take out 5,000,000 feet of
lumber on their Sheet Harbor property.

The Albion Lumber Company, of Moser
River, N, S., expect to take out in the
vicinity of 4,000,000 feet of logs this
winter,

The United Lumber Company, Halifax,
N.S., are taking out about 8,000,000 feet
of logs for their Jordan River mills. About
10,000,000 feet will be cut on the St.
Mary’s property, lately purchased by
Alfred Dickie, Lower Stewiacke, N. S.

The John Arbuthnot Company, of Win-
nipeg, has concluded negotiations for the
purchase of the balance of last season’s
cut of lumber now in A. R. McLennan’s
yard at Wabigoon, Ont., and the whole of
next year’s cut of the same firm. The
present stock is about 1,250,000 feet, and
the 1904 cut will be 4,000,000 feet. Two
million feet of logs are already in the
water, left over from last season, and two
camps are in operation on Long Lake.

Buffalo to begin winter with as there was
a year ago, but the trade all round is get-
ting used to shortages, and there is much
less difficulty from that direction than there
used to be. Common grades of white
pine are scarcer than they should be, on '
account of the great run made by the box
factories. The middle grades are some-
what uncertain in price but the holder of
them is gaining confidence and will no
longer sell them at buyers’ prices, as some
have done during the fall. High-grade
pine is quiet, but firm.

Eastern shingles are about steady at
Boston on a basis of $3.35 to $3.45 for
extras. _The stock of shingles offering is
very light at all points, but the feeling is
so strong that the market inthe spring
will open at a higher level that the leading
handlers are not inclined to accept any
business for February or March delivery
at a lower basis than $3.50. Most of the
small mills have cleaned up their entire
holdings, and will have nothing to offer
from now on except winter sawed stock.

During the season of navigation to De-
cember 1, there was entered at the custom
house at Bay City, Mich., 104,354,596 feet
of lumber, and at Saginaw 29,463, 183 feet,
making a total of 133,817,779 feet, and the
4,000,000 which came in since the first of
the month makes the receipts about 138,-
000,000 feet, compared with 160,000,000
feet last year. There was shipped out
during the season by lake only about
3,000,000 feet, compared with 858,000,000
feet during the season of navigation of
1882, showing the wonderful transforma-
tion in the lumber business of the Saginaw
Valley in a score of years.

Under date of December 5th Messrs. S.
P. Musson, Son & Company say of the
Barbados market : “The only arrival has
been the steamer ‘‘Viking,” from Tusket
Wedge, N.S., with about 40,000 feet of
white pine and
quality spruce. Nothing has yet been
done with the former, but the latter had
been contracted for at’ $20. Most of it,
however, consists of 3 and 4 inch boards,
which have been rejected and re-sold at
$15, any usual second quality being taken
at the original price. We have 125,000
feet of white pine coming, and with the
200,000 feet second quality which is also
expected, the wants of dealers are fairly
provided for, and we rather expect aa
next arrivals will meet lower prices.
arrival of shingles has taken place since
last report. Stocks of Laying Cedar are
ample, but Long and Dimension Gaspe
are saleable.”

THE HARDWOOD SITUATION.

Some of the wholesale and retail yard
men in Chicago say that they are having
a brisk inquiry for stock, largely in small
lots, as the average consumer does not
care to purchase more than sufficient to
keep him running from day to day. Large
consumers are not buying much, except-
ing some of those outside of the city who
are contracting quite a quantity of stock
for delivery in January and February. As
a rule, however, buying on any large
scale has been postponed until after the
first of the year and the wholesale trade
is not handling more than can be com-

THE DULUTH LUMBER CUT.

This year. the mills in the Duluth dis-
trict of Minnesota have cut 885,000,000
feet of pine lumber. Thisis as grea. an
amount as was ever cut in the district. Of
the cut of this year about 500,000,000 feet
was shipped to the east by water via Du-
luth. The rest was distributed by rail to
Chicago, the west and the south. Prac-
tically the entire cut of mills in the city of
Duluth goes east by water, and with it
about 100,000,000 feet cut by interior mills.
The value of the white pine cut of the dis-
trict this year is about $17,500,000.

The probabilities afe that the cut of the
coming year will decrease about twenty-
five per cent. Mills go into the. winter
with small stocks on hand, and with less
unsold lumber than they have had in years.
On docks in Duluth there are only 110,-
000,000 feet of all classes of lumber and
of this more than half is sold. Interior
mills of the district have, perhaps, 250,-

HILL ROTARY STEAM FEED VALVES.

Ever since the first shot gun feed,,was built, the
most fruitful source of trouble has been with the valves.
The feed itself is a camparatively simple proposition,
but the valve has been the rock on which most of the
designers have split. Every conceivable form of valve
has been tried, the centre and the end, the vertical and
the horizontal, but each one had some grave fault that
more than balanced its good ones. One would stick,
the next would jerk, and all had someching that a saw-
yer wouldn't stand for. The nearest approach to a
satisfactory valve has been the rotary, but even these
had some undesirable features, and Wm, E. Hill &
Company claim that it was not until the valve here il-

; PERSONAL.

Mr. D. J. McLaughlin, a retired lumber merchant,
4 : has been elected president of the St. John, N. B., Board
of Trade.

Mr. John Shearer, jr., of Ottawa, has been appointed
by the Dominion Government to gather material for a
Canadian forestry exhibit at the St. Louis Exposition.

2 Mr. K. F. Robinson, for many years manager of the
4 Eastman Lumber Company at Eastman, Que., has ac-

cepted the management of the Cookshire Mills Com-_
“> pany, of Cookshire.

Mr. A. E. Munn, late manager of the British Canadian
Timber Company at Kearney, On.., has been appointed
manager of the Canada Wood Specialty Company, of
Orillia, a position in which his experience should be
- found of great value.
3 After an illness extending over a period of fifteen
months Mr. William Harvey, of Arnprior, passed to his re-
_—s ward last month. Deceased was probably the best
a known man in the vicinity of Arnprior, having for the
? past thirty-eight years been superintendent of the lum-
; bering operations of McLachlin Bros. He was engag-

ed by the late Danie! McLachlin in 1865 and remained

continuously in charge up to the time of his failing
health.

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN was pleased to receive a

visit during the past month from Mr. E. H. Heaps, head of

the well known firm of E. H. Heaps & Company, Van-

"- couver, B. C. His company manufacture lumber, shin-

gles, door, etc., and their product is well known in

Eastern Canada. Mr. Heaps states that the shingle

business of the Pacific Coast is getting on a more solid

footing and he expects that during the coming year
harmony will prevail among the manufacturers. Mr.
= Heaps has just established an office in Toronto in
charge of Mr. Cameron.

lustrated was put on the market that a perfect work-
ing valve was found. This valve is the result of ex-
perimented tests with every kind of valve. The result
is claimed by the makers to be a perfect working
valve. Its points cf superiority over all other valves
are: It is perfectly balanced. It has uniform steam
pressure on all parts, avoiding all tendency to bind.
The ends are balanced, thus doing away with the
end pressure met,with in other types of rotary valves.
It has large wearing surfaces. It. only requires a very

UNIFORM HARDWOOD INSPECTION RULES.
The two committees of the National Hard-
wood Lumber Association and the Hardwood
Man? facturer’s Association of the United States
who were recently in session in Chicago,
reached a basis of agreement as to uniform in-
spection on December 11th. The revised
rules affecting certain kinds of lumber in which
Canadians are interested given below :
RULES FOR INSPECTION OF MAPLE, BASS-
WOOD, BEECH, BIRCH, BLACK ASH,
SOFT ELM, ROCK ELM, STRIPS.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS.

As the inspection of lumber is so largely a matter of
judgment, inspectors inspecting under these
rules are instructed to their best judgment
based upon these rules, taking into consideration the
general run of the stock as to lengths, widths and

use

manufacture.
Lumber must be inspected and measured as the in-

spector finds it, of full length and width. He shall
make no allowance for the purpose of raising the grade.
The inspection must be made from the worst side of
; the piece except when the reverse side grades two or
more grades higher in which case the piece must be
graded up one grade from the poor side.

Lumber shall be well manufactured, of good average
lengths and widths. It should be sawed plump and
even thickness and have parallel edges and square ends.
Tapering lumber in standard lengths is measured at
the narrow end, except as otherwise specified.

All fractions of three-fourth of a foot or over must be
counted up to the next higher figure; all fractions of
less than three-fourths of a toot must be counted back
to the next lower figure.

All badly missawed lumber must be thrown out by
the inspector.

All lumber must be tallied face or surface measure.

Five per cent. of lumber that is 1-16 inch scant of
the given thickness to be accepted in any shipment.

The standard grades are firsts, seconds, No. 1 com-
mon, No. 2 common, No. 3 common except as other-
wise specified.

When firsts and seconds are combined as cne grade
there must be at Jeast one-third of firsts, except as
otherwise specified. .

STANDARD LENGTHS.—6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 feet,
except as otherwise specified. As most timber is
handled in lengths of 10, 12, 14 and 16 feet, odd lengths
such as g, 11 and 13 feet, must be measured back to
the next even length, except as otherwise specified.
In the grade of firsts and seconds the lengths are 8 to
16 feet, but there must be over 10 per cent. of 10 foot
lengths and 5 per cent. of 8 foot lengths, except as
otherwise specified.

STANDARD THICKNESSES.—3,
14, 2, 2%, 3 and q inch.

STANDARD Derects.—Each one of the following

4b, x, Ry Leas

¥ items constitute a standard defect : (a) One knot ones

and one-quarter inches in diameter. (b) Two sound
knots not exceeding in extent or damage one and one-
quarter inch knot. (c) One inch of bright sap, except
as otherwise specified. (d) One split not diverging
more than one inch to the foot, and not exceeding in
length in inches the surface measure of the full in
feet, except as otherwise specified. (e) Worm, grub,
knot and rafting pin holes, not exceeding in extent or
damage ore and one-quarter inch knot, except as
otherwise specified.
Note :—A straight split not exceeding six inches in
length in one end of a piece of lumber eight inches and
- over wide must not be considered a defect.
NoTE 2 :—Black spots in maple, rock and soft elm
not larger than a standard knot shall be considered no

i, defect.

ar EXPLANATIONS OF STANDARD DEFECTS.—The follow-

: : ing items are to be given consideration : (a) The term

ee), **Sound Cutting,” as used in these rules, means a piece

1M of lumber free from rot and heart shake. (b) Ordin-
‘ey ary season checks are not to be considered defects,

but if of so serious a character as to damage the lum-
ber they are to be considered by the inspector. (c)
Black stain, heart shake, rot and dote are serious de-
_ fects, reducing to a grade lower than firsts and

seconds. (d) Wane is difficult to describe and in”
spectors must take same into consideration. (e) In
the following rules all widths and lengths mentioned
are inclusive,

SPECIAL INSPECTION.

Loc Run.—Log Run means the full run of the iog
with No. 3 common cut. COMMON AND BETTER.—
Common and better means the full run of the log with
No. 2 and No. 3 common out. Common and_ better
must contain at least 50 per cent. of first and seconds.

MERCHANTABLE.—Merchantable means the full run of
the log wifh No. 3 common out, and that the No. 1
common and firsts and seconds must be measured full
and the No. 2 common one-half.

INSPECTION for lumber sawed for specific purposes,
such as axles, bolsters, tongues, reaches, etc., must
be inspected with a view to the adaptability of the
piece for its intended use, because in most cases it
cannot be used for other purposes.

REVISION OF NEW BRUNSWICK TIMBER
LAWS.

Two important changes have been made in
the laws to which all purcharers of timber from
the New Brunswick Government must submit.
The stumpage dues have been increased from
$1 to $1.25 per thousand feet and the charge
for renewal of leases has been increased to $8
per square mile, as compared with $4 in the
past.
various matters affecting the lumber industry
are set forth in the reply of Hon. A. T. Dunn,

The views of the Government on the

Surveyor General, to the memorial presented
by the New Brunswick Lumbtermen and Limit

Holders Association, which we print below:

THE SURVEYOR-GENERAL’S REPLY.

To Messrs. Henry Hilyard, Kilgour Shives,
W. B. Snowball, John E. Moore, G. G.
King, E. Hutchinson and R. A. Lawlor,
Committee of The Lumbermen and Limit
Hol. ers’ Ass sciations: —

GENTLEMEN,—I am directed to inform you
that 1 submitted to the Executive Council your
memorial of the 29th September last, and to
say that the matters therein referred to have
received very careful consideration.

As you have made recommendations in te-
ference to the administration of the crown lands
which are very important, it will perhaps be
well to refer to them in detail, and to acquaint
you with the views of the government in re-
spect thereto under the different headings.

1. The question of allowing tops to be re-
moved without payment of stumpage is one in-
volving serious difficulties, end,after consulta-
tion with the officers ot the department, who
are fully competent to judge upon these mat-
ters, the Executive Council has reluctantly been
forced to the conclusion that it cannot accede
You will remember that this
matter was brought up before the Department
of Crown Lands some years ago and the Sur-
veyor General endeavored to meet the views of
the lumbermen in this regard, but finding
that advantage was takea throughout the dif-
ferent sections of the province, by certain oper-
ators who claimed that a large percentage of
their cut was on tops alone and therefore should
not be liable to stumpage, it became necessary
to adopt a different policy, and for this ‘und
other reasons it is not considered advisable in
the public interest that the present pclicy in
this regard should be departed (rom.

2. While the Executive Council is impressed
with the view put forward in the second para-

to your views.

graph of your memoria!, with reference to the

increased cost attending the procuring of lum-
ber and getting it to market yet it should be
borne in mind that the province has in recent
years expended large amounts of money in the
building of railways, which have very consid-
erably lessened the cost of taking the supplies
to the head waters of the rivers where lumber-
ing operations are carried on, and this fact, as
well as the reduced cost of supplies, should be
taken into consideration in determining what
would be a fair rate of stumpage.

It must also be bourne in mind that since the
adoption by the government of the policy of
granting the licensees for twenty-five years, the
value of the holdings of licensees has increased
enormously. Many licensees who purchased at

the upset price of $8 ner ere now hold
their lands at $100 and upwards ; and while it
may be true that the cost of procuring the lum-
ber has increased, owing to the higher rate of
wages now prevalling, it is within the know-
ledge of the executive that the price of lumber
in the local markets has very laregly increased,
and is in many cases nearly fifty per cent. higb-
er than it was ten yearsago. These facts can-
not be ignored by the government as trustees
of the public in determining this question.

3. The question of having different rates of

stumpage in different sections of the province
is a very important one, and the Executive
Council has telt that a great deal could be said
in favor of discriminating in this regard, hav-
ing reference to the accessibility to markets,
the facilities for procuring lumber, difference
in freights and other circumstances, but it has
been decided to acquiesce in the views put for-
ward by you on behalf of the lumbermen and
continue the uniform rate throughout the prov-
ince.

of the province that a regulation of general
effect should be made regarding the reduction
of stumpage to operators cutting on burnt dis-
tricts, but has decided that in cases of this
kind application must be made to the Surveyor
General, and hy him referred to the Committee
of Council for decision, and each case will be
dealt with upon its merits ; but the general
opinion is that only in very exceptional cases
should any reduction be made,

license upon which the timber is not likely at
any time, when cut, to become what would be
termed merchantable ; but the same remarks
as made in reference to No. 4 must apply in
these cases, namely, each case must be the
subject of special application and receive the

sanction of the executive, upon report of an~

officer of the Crown land department.

6. With regard to the recommendation con-
tained i) paragraph 6 of the memorial, the
Executive Council has decided that new regu-
lations shall be made for the better protection
of the forests from fire, and that ample means
will be employed to protect the timber Jands
throughout the province.

7. The recommendation contained in para-
graph 7, that all persons going into the woods
during the dry season shall first have to secure
a license from some person duly authorized for
that purpose, would be difficult of enforcement,
but the Executive Council will carefully con-
sider as to what can be done in this particular.

8. The Executive Council has given full con-
sideration to the comparative statement of the
scales and rates of stumpage in the provinces
ot New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario, and
likewise the amount paid for renewals. The
Executive Council is, however, of the opinion
that the scales and rates of stumpage and

and Ontario do not afford a safe guide upon

In conclusion, the Executive Couucil desires
me to say that the preservation and protec-
tion of the crown timber lands of the province
‘have been the subject of the very gravest con-
eration by the government, recognizing, as
il it does, the great importance to the province
of preserving aud encouraging this great in-
ry. The Executive Council is fully aware
the policy which was adopted in 1893 of

sees to take all possible means to protect
holdings. The question of whether or
not itis desirable to still further extend the
terms of the licensees, thereby ensuring greater
"permanency of tenure, is one of great import-
ce and will receive the most careful attention.
In this connection, it may be proper to ob-
_ serve that the Executive Council recognizes the
equitable claims of those who have invested
z large amounts of money in the erection of mills,
az the building of booms, wharves, etc., in con-
nection with the carrying on of lumbering and
_ milling operations, to hold lands for the pur-
"pose of supplying their mills. Upon the other
“hand, your committee will readily recognize
the objections which may be urged and which
would naturally have weight with the people
of the province against permanently locking up
ets timber lands without first affording an op-
_ portunity to all persons to acquire an interest
therein, if they saw fit to do so.
_In considering this question, it must be ap-

hung as close to the brick wall as possible ; in
fact, half the thickness of the wall had been
removed so the face of the pulley ran inside the
wall line. That left a ledge of brick about 4 or
5 inches from the belt. The belt began to slip,
and the dressing was piled on to make it pull.
It got so slack that one day, when an unusually
heavy load was on, it began to run in waves

DRAFT : NATURAL AND FORCED.

Broadly speaking, combustion is the union of the
carbon of the fuel with the oxygen of the air. Air is as
essential to it as fuel. When the air passes through
the fire it loses its oxygen, just as the fuel loses its
carbon; and the deoxidized air is as useless as the
ashes. It is therefore as necessary to renew the sup-
ply of air as to provide more fuel. This renewal of the

air is accomplished by the operation of three natural

Gorpon HoLtow Bast GRATE.

laws—first, the law that heat expands, which, by
causing the same weight of air to increase in volume,
causes it to become lighter, volume for volume, than it
was before; second, by the law of gravitation, which
impels the colder and consequently denser and heavier
air outside of the furnace to flow in, exactly as water
poured into a vessel containing oil settles to the bot-
tom; and third by the law of impenetrability, which
decrees that two bodies cannot occupy the same place

at the same time, and therefore causes the heated air

to rise as the cold air flows under it, just as the oil
rises when the water settles. Thus we have accounted
for the ascending movement of the heated air and pro-
ducts of combustion up the stack.

It is obivious that the greater the difterence in tem-
perature between the heated air and the colder, denser
and heavier air outside, the more pronounced the in-
flowing of the colder air, because the greater the dif-
ference in weight. This difference can, of course, be
increased either by making the heated air hotter or by
making the colder air colder.

There is another way in which the difference in pres-
sure between the deoxidized air above the grate and
ihe fresh air below can be increased, viz., by forcing
the fresh air in, as by means of a rotary blower. It is
thus that the Gordon Hollow Blast Grate produces its
wonderful results. To the pressure exerted by the
colder air by its superior weight, it adds the pressure
imparted by the blades of a fan travelling approximate-
ly ten thousand feet per minute. The pressure ob-
tained by the union of these two forces—weight and
the momentum resulting from centrifugal force—is such
as to produce a draft sufficient for the rapid combus-

tion of wet or green sawdust, even when there is mixed
with it a liberal percentage of ice and snow. More-
over, the hotter fire the grate produces thus, mechani-
cally, the hotter and therefore lighter does the air
above the grate become, and, therefore, the more readily
the heated air is forced up the stack. In other words,

the grate both increases the pressure from below and

decreases the resistance above,the result being a vast-
ly improved draft.

There is also another decided advantage that the
Gordon Hollow Blast Grate has. One of the difficul-
ties incident to burning wet or green sawdust is its
tendency to settle down so compactly as to make it
hard for the air to penetrate it. Now, the Gordon
Hollow Blast Grate places at the disposal of the fire-
man a current of air under sufficient pressure to force
a passage and keep the sawdust loose, thus giving the
natural draft as well as the blast a chance. The exact
amount of this pressure may be regulated to a nicety
by a gate provided for that purpose.

Again, with the Gordon Hollow Blast Grate the air
is compressed by the action of the blower, and being
compressed, it contains more oxygen, volume for
volume, than air in its natural state, thus promoting
combustion in the same manner that, other things be-
ing equal, the fuel containing the most carbon and
other combustibles will develop the most heat.

Finally, the blast causes the sawdust to dry more
quickly, thus making it easier to burn.

The foregoing explanation of the nature of the draft

_ shows why the mere fact that the stack is of sufficient

capacity does not indicate that the Gordon Hollow
Blast’ Grate would be superfluous. A large stack
merely affords facilities for a strong draft, by giving the
heated air and products of combustion ample room to
escape without resistance; the Gordon Hollow Blast
Grate produces a strong draft, by forcing the air in
under pressure and making a hotter fire. It also re-
veals why the Gordon Hollow Blast Grate is superior
to an oven, which, while possessing several excellent
advantages, does not increase the draft mechanically.

The manufacturers are the Gordon Hollow Blast
Grate Company, of Greenville, Michigan.

EDUCATION OF FILERS.

LocuHLin, Noy. goth, 1903;
Editor CANADA LUMBERMAN :

Dear Sir,—I have been employed for a long time
in the manufacture of lumber and 1 feel that a great
saving of timbec and time could be obtained in tse
majority of mills, particularly in the smaller mills of
25,000 feet per day and under, by the mill owners do-
ing more in the way of educating their mill filers, as
this is where the principal part of the work is when the
machinery is not at fault. More disputes arise among
lumber inspectors from good timber being badly sawn
than from any other defect. .It is well known to the
trade that at least 25 per cent. of the culls is due to
bad sawing. This question should be more thoroughly
considered by the mill owners. :

I would say that this could be remedied by having an
examination for mill filers, and those who passed should
be furnished with a diploma. This would make the
filer take more interest ia educating himself for the
work and it would place the mill owner in a position
to have more confidence in the filer, and this would, no
doubt, result in better equipped filing rooms and better
made lumber.

It is generally thought that saw filing is nothing more
or less than a little practice to steady the nerves for the
work, but this is a great mistake, as there is nothing
connected with the lumber business which requires
more careful study than the circular or band saw. The
time has alseady come when timber saving should be
carefully studied, and I think something in the way I
have suggested would be of great benefit to the
general manufacturing of lumber.

Yours truly,
T. A. MCALLISTER.

facturers’ Association of the United States takes place

IMITATION SILK FROM WOOD.

John E. Kehl, United States consul at
Strettin, Germany, writes as follows under a
recent date:

I have to“day seen samples of imitation silk
for weaving purposes manufacturd from wood.
It is an English patent granted to C. H. Stearn,
47 Victoria street, Westminster, London. The
rights for the United States, Germany and
France have been sold. Prince Henckel-Don-
nersmarck has purchased the German rights
and has just completed the erection of a plant
at Sydowsaue, about 5 miles from Strettin.
My informant says that the plant is at presen

is made up of eighteen single strands. A single
strand is hardly perceptible to the naked eye.
As to the relative strength of a real silk thread
and this imitation, the real silk is two-thirds
stronger. It is said to take coloring or dyeing
readily, and when woven into pieces has the ap-
perance of real silk. Wood silk seems to have
a great demand. I was told that within the

the way of wear and price, I am unable to say.
It is impossible to get samples here, or inform-
ation as to the process of manufacturing, ex-
cepting that no particular kind of wood is re-
quired and that the pulp undergoes a chemical
process and is pressed through very fine tubes
by hydraulic pressure, forming the single
strands which go to make up thread.”

THE COUNTERVAILING DUTY AGAIN.

The last of the series of wood pulp hearings
before the Board of United States General
Appraisers took place on December oth.
This hearing was the latest in a series of four
which have aroused considerable interest.
The question at issue is whether the U. S.
Government shall charge an extra duty on
wood pulp imported from Canada.
vious cases had

The pre-
to do with importations

from Quebec, Ontario and Nova Scotia.
[he present case concerns importations
from New Brunswick. The companies

interested are the Dominion Pulp Company, of
Chatham, and the St. John Sulphite Pulp
Company and Cushing Sulphite Fibre Com-
pany, of St. John, N. B. According to the
testimony, they use in their pulp mills only
wood cut in New Brunswick.

The protests are against the imposition by
the United States Government of an extra tax
of 25 cents per ton on ground wood brought
into that country when the pulp wood from

which it was made was cut on Crown lands.
The reason for levying this extra duty is be-
cause Quebec province allows a rebate of 25
cents per cord from the stumpage tax when
the wood cut of Crown lands is ground into
pulp in Canada. The authority for the im-
position of this countervailing duty is found in
a proviso of paragraph 393 of the tariff act of
1897, which reads: ‘‘Provided, that if any
country or dep2ndency shall impose an export
duty on pulp wood exported to the. United
States, the amount of such export duty shall
be added to the duties herein imposed. upon
wood pulp imported from such country or
dependency.” From this it is seen that the
United States Government considers the re-
bate on the stumpage tax as equivalent to an
export duty.

M. F. Mooney, manager of the St. John
Sulphite Pulp Company, E. R. Vickery, mana-
ger of the Dominion Pulp Company, and H.
W. Schofield, secretary-treasurer of the Cush-
ing Sulphite Fibre Company, testified that no
export duty was charged on wood from New
Brunswick. It was admitted that some of the
wood handled in the mills was cut from Crown
lands. The main defence, however, was based
upon two letters, one over the signature of the
Attorney-General of New Brunswick, and the
other over that of Albert T. Dunn, Surveyor-
General of the province. These two letters
both stated that no export duty was charged
on wood exported from New Brunswick.

The New Brunswick case is very similar to
the Nova Scotia case, which was decided in
favor of the importers.

IS ROSSED WOOD DUTIABLE?

Argument is being heard in New York in
the protests against the imposition by the
United States Government of a duty of 35 per
cent. ad valorem on importations of rossed
wood. The frotesting companies ask for the
refund of the duties paid by them for the short
period in which the tax was collected. It will
be recalled that last May the collectors ot
customs along the Canadian border were in-
structed by the Treasury Department to collect
35 per cent. ad valorem on the rossed pulp
wood entered at their respective ports. Within
ten days or so this order was withdrawn
pending investigations.

The contention of the Government and the
timber land owners is in briet that rossed pulp
wood is really a manufactured article and for
that reason should not continue to enjoy free
entry as it has done since the rossing process
by machinery wasintroduced. Counsel for the
protesting companies, on the other hand, con-
tend that the free entry of rossed pulp wood
should be continued, as the removal of the
bark from the logs does not change the ‘‘name,

crease in the price of paper.

character and use” of the article.
somewhat on a decision of the United
Supreme Court, which laid down the rule th
the duty on an article could not be chan
unless in the manipulation ot the article
name, character and use were changed. TI
fact that the bark has been taken off the logs
does not make of them manufactured articles,
so the protesters claim. A paragraph of the
Tariff Act of 1897 provides for free entry of
‘‘logs and round unmanufactured timber, in-
cluding pulp woods,” etc. Under this p= a-
graph pulp wood of all kinds has been g
in free of duty.
The importance of the affair resides in
fact that if purchasers of pulp wood in Can
find it necessary to ross the wood before |
ing it into the States, the cost of their pr
will be increased if the duty be imposed, by
one-third the original cost of the wood.
Naturally this would mean a very materia

that operation after the wood has been
into the States, however, there seems to

in the cost of the operation, whether it be pe

Some very nice points of law were b

Z J. R. Booth, of Ottawa, evidently intends to manu.
facture pulp on a large scale at his new mill at the

Chaudiere, opposite his saw mill. Reports from ‘‘up
country” go to show that the gangs in the Booth

“camps are taking out pulp wood as well as logs. A
large stock of pulp wood has already been taken down

to the mill.

This week, says the Paper Trade Journal, of New
York, there have been a few inquiries for pulp, but as
domestic manufacturers have no surplus that they are
willing to part with there have been no sales. Some
Canadian ground wood could have been bought to
supply those in need, but as this would have cost the
buyer about $26.00 delivered, the offer was refused.
The situation, therefore, remains as it has been for
weeks.

pany, of St. John, N.B., Mr. James Beveridge, who
has acted as managing director, will return to England.

A writer in the Paper Mill says that American buyers

re scouring the market for Canadian pulp wood. Two
of them have been negotiating fora 2,000 cord lot in
Quebec. They offered $7 f. 0. b. on cars, but the
holder would not sell at that price. They bid twenty-
five cents more, but still without success. The wood is
convenient to the United States border, as itis in the
Eastern townships. A year ago $5 would have been
jumped at tor the wood. Now the price is nearly €o
per cent. more.

The Oriental Power & Pulp Company, a corporation
of English capitalists, has taken steps to construct the
necessary wharves and other preliminary works for
large pulp and paper mills to be built on the coast of
British Columbia. The proposed pulp mill will have a
daily capacity of 50 tons and is expected to be com-
pleted withina year. Itis the intention to build at once
a saw mill, which will cut the lumber to be used in the
construction of the pulp mill. Simultaneously with the
building of the pulp mill a power house will be built, in
which counection Yule Lake will be dammed at the
mouth of a small creek, a pipe line half a mile in length
carrying the water to the power house. It is estimated
that 17,000 horse power can be developed at low water
periods. The timber limits owned by the company
comprise 83,200 acres, of which 62,000 have already

Charles H. Vogel, mill and hydraulic engineer, of
Ottawa, has under way plans for a plant for the Nepi-
gon Pulp, Paper and Manufacturing Company, which
is to be located on the Canadian Pacific Railway, about
80 miles east of Port Arthur. The paper mill will be
equipped with two large, fast-ruuning paper machines,
and the pulp mill will have a daily capacity of 50 tons.
The plant will be so built as to make possible a d.ubl-
ling of its capacity at a later date, and its present cost
will approximate a half-million dollars. Another new
plant to be built under Mr. Fogel’s supervision the com-
ing spring is that of the Rainy Lake Pulp and Paper
Company, to be located in the Rainy Lake country at
the head waters of the Rainy River, on a stream which
will develop 8,000 horse-power. The company has
concessions from the Ontario Government for the water
power, together with 272 square miles of timber lands.

Curry & Thrasher, of Forrester’s Falls, Ont., have

NEW CROWN TIMBER AGENTS.

The activity in lumbering operations and the
growth of settlement throughout New Ontario
has called for the appointment of additional
Crown timber agents. The department has
decided to divide the Algoma agency and ap-
point two agents for this territory, which was
formerly in charge of the late P. C. Campbell,
of Sault Ste. Marie. Mr. Joseph’ Maughan
has been appointed timber agent for the west-
ern division of Algoma district, with head-
quarters at Sault Ste. Marie, while Mr. T. G.
Wigg, of Thessalon, has been given charge of
the new district of Thessalon. Both were
officials under Mr. Campbell. The Temiskam-
ing district will be under the superintendence
of Mr. Edward Lloyd, whose headquarters will
be at New Liskeard. Mr. Peter W. Christie

NEW MONTREAL BRANCH.

In order to better serve the continually
increasing demands for its comprehen-
sive line of power transmission machinery
and to enable it to continue the same
efficient service that has always beena
noteworthy characteristic of the company,
the Dodge Manufacturing Company of
Toronto, Limited, will on Jannary 15 open
extensive and commodious quarters at 419.
St. James Street, Montreal. This will be
pleasing news to the many users of trans-
mission machinery in and around Montreal
and the east and isa step that keeps pace
with the fast development of Canadian
manufacturing. A competent staff will be
in charge of the new branch and will
spare no efforts to increase the efficiency
of the service of the company both for
users and the trade.

Mr. Joseph Maughan has had some exper-

in the woods. His first venture was in the
cedar business, operating on the Bruce penin-

he decided to discontinue business, as in those
days, the early eighties, cedar was so plentiful
and the inspection in Chicago, Milwaukee and
elsewhere was so severe that it was simply
impossible to make money. In later years he
was employed by the late Edmund Hall, of
Detroit, Eddy Bros., of Bay City, and the
Cutler & Savage Lumber Company, of Grand

of a culler. Two years ago he was appointed

present :

Messrs. W. C. Laidlaw, of Toronto, Ont.;
Betts and Robert C. Lippincott,

The following Underwriters were

Chas. M.
of Philadelphia, Pa.;

C. H. Prescott, jr., of Cleveland, Ohio ; Alfred Haines,
Geo. B. Montgomery, Horace Taylor and M. S. Tre-
maine, of Buffalo, N.Y.; Pendennis. White, of North
Tonawanda, N. Y.; Frank C. Rice, of Springfield,
Mass.; and J. J. McKelvey, E. F. Perry and F. W.
Mattocks, of New York.

The fact was brought forth that the company, in ad-
dition to-earrying risks throughout the United States,
has developed considerable business in Canada, making
a uniform reduction in premium rates of 20 per cent.
off the prevailing tariff rates. Another advantage of
the policy of the Lumber Underwriters is the liberal
method of short rate canceilation, the company using
the standard short rate scale, which is more favorable
to the assured than the scale adopted by the Canadian ~
companies.

Since the Lumber Underwriters limit their business
exclusively to lumber and woodworking risks, they are
able to handle this one class of risks better than a
company doing a general business, and although all in-
surance is accepted at the rate reduction above named,
the business has proven extremely profitable, which
is a source of congratulation to tiie Underwriters.

NOVA SCOTIA LUMBERMEN ORGANIZ

The Board of Trade of Annapolis Royal, N.S., pass-
ed a resolution extending an invitation to the timber
owners: of Western Nova Scotia to meet in convention
in that town to suggest a workable law for the preven-
tion of forest fires and the preservation of timber lands.
Acting upon the suggestion, a meeting was held on
December 3rd, at which the Lumbermen’s Association
of Western Nova Scotia was erganized, and the follow-
ing officers elected : President, F. C. Whitman, Anna-
polis ; secretary, A. D. Mills, Annapolis. The member-
ship includes Dickie & McGrath, of Tusket ; The Dav-

ison Lumber Company, of Bridgewater ; Pickels &
- Mills, of Annapolis ; Frank Davison, of Bridgewater ;
H. T. Warner, of Digby ; A. W. Eakins, of Yarmouth;
McNeil Bros. & Howe, and Thomas F. Whitman. The
conference lasted two days and there was a thorough
discussion of the subject of forest preservation, with

special reference to the prevention of forest fires. The
main feature was the unanimity of all the speakers as
to the wisdom and necessity ot adopting some practical
system. It is proposed to present a memorial on the
subject to the Nova Scotia Legislature.

FINED FOR REMOVING STOP LOGS.

Police Magistrate Dumple, of Peterborough, has
given judgment in the case of King vs. Wasson.
Wasson, a mill owner at Warsaw, was charged with
illegally removing stop logs froma Government dam at
the head of the Indian river and at its exit from Stony
lake. Wasson, it appears, was short of water to run
his mill and to increase the flow removed stop logs
against the will of the man in charge of the dam. The
logs were replaced, but Mr. Wasson took a saw and
cut outa stop log, and, arming himself with a gun for
a part of two days, enforced non-intérference with the
stop logs by the official custodian, The judgment de-
clares Mr. Wasson guilty of wilfully doing an injury to

a public work, and the smallest penalty provided for

the offence, $100 and costs, was imposed.

-AN INTERESTING LETTER CONCERNING
COOPERAGE STOCK.

Mr. J. C. Shepherd, of Tilsonburg, Ont.,
sends to our contemporary, Packages, a very
interesting letter on the cooperage stock situa-
tion, in which he advocates the employment of
soft wood for staves. He says:

‘Last year was a very much off year with us.
The supply of elm having given out the year be-
fore, I didn’t even get in one log. Things look-
ed mighty blue, and I began to look around for
something else to do—a hardware stock, a
farm or some other easy thing to end my days
on; chance threw me in company with a miller
who had ‘heard that poplar and other soft
woods made a first rate flour barrel stave and
was willing to try them if he had some to try.
Well, I knew where there was an old stave saw
that had been lying around in saw
dust heaps for six or seven years
that could be had for almost any

it up, setit up and made a few
staves which I sent out for samples
to some of my oldcustomers. Sent

wanted to buy. To one of these,
the one who had first spoken to me
abou: the staves, I sent a carload
and they gave such good satisfac-
tion that he bought all I had and all
I could make the rest of the season.
For this year his company takes half:
the saw can cut, while another com-

‘‘ Naturally 1 feel pretty good,
with all this work before me, and
wouldn’t take a hardware stock nor
a farm just now as a gift. And, what’s
more, this thing is going to last me my time
out, and a generation or so after me, if not on

- for all time, for you see these soft woods re-

produce themselves every few years and with a
little care the supply will keep up to the demand
and then the thing will be everlasting.

‘A few weeks ago I was in a bush where a
hundred or so cords of poplar had been taken
out for pulp-wood ro or 12 years ago, and to-

day as much more is there for stave wood.
- This,then, will do away with the notion that the

slack barrel will have to be abandoned for an-
other package because the supply of material
will be exhausted. And then, mind you, this
sawed stave barrel is a great barrel—far ahead

of any cut-stave barrel that was ever made—

no shake, and every one of them will ring like
a pork barrel, a thing no cooper could ever
make a cut stave barrel do. And again, the
wire hoop is just the thing on the quarters—
far stronger than a cut hoop, and never going
to break in course of transportation, as the cut

¢ hoop so often used to do.

EXPERT SAW FILING.
LocHLIn, January, 25, 1904.

Editor CANADA LUMBERMAN :

Dear Sir,—In order to substantiate the
claim made by me in the January LUMBERMAN,
viz., that there is a great loss from improper
saw filing, I will cite an instance that I made
note of some time ago. Iwas employed with
alumber company who had a filer in their
employ who ran his 8 gauge circular saws with
34 swage. The following season I had charge
of the same filing room and had no trouble in
running the same saws with 4 swage, and I
put out the cut of goo,o00 feet in shorter time
than the man the year before had taken to cut
500,000 feet. I figured that he made a loss to
the conpany by swaging his saws % too
heavy. of 62,500 feet of lumber, which was
worth that year $812.50, to say
nothing of the lumber that was re-
price by bad sawing.
Therefore, it is plain that the small-
est fraction of unnecessary swage
will count a large loss at the end
of a season’s cut. Now, the fact is
that the better the saw is levelled
aid the more evenly it is tensioned
and balanced the closer it will run
to. the timber, allowing the filer to
diminish the swage to a trifle clear-

duced in

ance and making a great saving of
timber, time and power.

I see no other way of getting a
uniform practice among saw filers
than to establish an examination
and furnish them with a diploma
for the proficiency of their work.

firm,
LuUMBERMAN, told me the other day that he
did not think my plan would improve that
lots of men could talk
theory on saw filing who could not do the
work, but he freely acknowledged that a great

as he said

loss was caused by poor mechanics in that line. -
‘I told him that the system of examination would

not be only talk, but test, as the examination
could be in a mill or ina saw works where

There is no reason why it would not improve

the work of saw filers and be profitable to the

manufacturers.

THE CANADA DAR eRe

THE LUMBER TRADE OF 1903

Review of Conditions Throughout the Dominion.—Statistics of the Export Trade.—
Prices Higher, but Cost of Production Proportionately Greater.—
Favorable Outlook for 1904.

HE statistics which we publish in this
ag number confirm the general opinion
that the lumber trade has passed
through anothet year of prosperity. The volume
of business was of large proportions, and while
the exports to European countries fell off
slightly, this was probably due to an enlarged
home consumption and increased shipments to
the United States, of which no complete returns
are available. The record of the white pine
trade is very gratifying, and as each year goes
by the conviction becomes more thoroughly
grounded that there is no better asset in Canada
than white pine timber.

Of the lumber requirements British Columbia
furnished a greater percentage than in any
previous year. There was a good local demand,
heavy shipments were made into the Canadian
Northwest, and exports to foreign countries
were on an enlarged scale. In the latter con-
nection the marked expansion of business with
South Africa isa reason for congratulation, as
showing that Canadians are gaining a foothold
in that market.

Spruce lumber has many competitors in for-
eign markets, and when due consideration is
given to this fact, it must be admitted that
prices were sustained remarkably well. The
falling off in spruce shipments was no more
than could have been expected in view of the
unsettled condition of the British market. |

The year witnessed the erection of a number
of new saw mills in various parts of Canada—
more perhaps in British Columbia than in the
other provinces. In mill improvements sub-
stantial progress was made, the installation of
numerous double cu'ting bands being an evi-
dence of the determination ot manufacturers 1o
keep up with the march of progress.

The indications are that during the coming

Sta‘es must be reckoned with; but a steady
trade at remunerative prices may reasonably be
expected. There will be little lumber forced

posiiion to hold their stocks through temporary
depression.

season lumber will find a ready sale.

ONTARIO.

The lumber manufacturers in Ontario have
expressed satisfaction with the business of
.1903. Although some adverse influences pre-
vailed, conditions in the aggregate were fav-
orable. Dealers were somewhat handicapped
by the difficulty of finding suitable stock, as
early in the year a large percentage of the lum-
ber production was placed under contract.
United States firms were aggressive buyers of
pine lumber, their purchases probably exceed-
ing hose of 1902, which was considered a ban-
ner year for white pine. Last spring log run
_ pine was freely contracted for at an average of

from $20 to $22 per thousand feet, but some
sales were made considerably above these fig-
ures. Those manufacturers who sold on
grades realized equally good prices. During
the first six months all kinds of pine lumber
were very active and strong, but towards the
fall there was a slight falling off in the demand
for dressing and better, which resulted in a
decline in the prices of these grades of from
$2 to $4 per thousand. The phenomenal de-
mand for box lumber was easily the feature of
the white pine trade. Every.hing suitable tor
making boxes was bought up at an advance of
about $3 per thousand as compared with the
prices obtained for box lumber in 1g02. There
was also alarge consumption of mill culls, which
also improved in price. It is fair to assume
that the white pine product of Ontario was dis-
posed of at an advance of $2 per thousand over
the 1902 prices. The developements of the
year demonstrated that white pine lumber is
still favored by many consumers.

The history of the hardwood trade records
substantial improvement. The consumption
by local industries was almost as great as the
production, leaving but a small quantity of
hardwoods to be exported. The mill man,
therefore, gave little concern to the disposal of
his lumber, as buyers were numerous and us-
ually eager to contract for stock even at the
higher prices. Thoughout the year there wasa
scarcity of basswood and thick maple, and
orders had sometimes to be refused on account
of inability to supply the desired stock. The
tone of the hardwood market continued good
up to the close of the year. Prices appreciated
from $2 to $4 per thousand. Mill run soft elm
and maple which in 1902 bought $16 per thou-
sand at the mill sold last year at $19. Bass-
wood bought $21 and ash $20, as compared
with $17 the previous year. Hardwood timber
is becoming scarcer and indications point to a
liberal demand and good prices for hardwood
lumber during the coming season.

Hemlock lumber was used toa greater ex-:

tent than ever before. The average price at the
mill was about $11, as against $10 the pre-
vious year. The comparative cheapness of
this class of lumber is likely to result in a still
larger consumption during the year 1904.

The shingle market was rather unsteady
during the year. Dealers in Ontario found
themselves with too heavy stocks of red cedars,
and in attempting to unload, prices were weak-
ened. This in turn had its effect on white pine
and white cedar shingles, although prices did
not break more than fifteen cents per thousand.
The close of the year found several manufac-
turers carrying a considerable supply of white
pine shingles, for which they had not found
ready sale and which they did not wish to force
upon the market lest it should become demor-
alized. The feeling in the shingle trade is now

ws rt

more hopeful, and, given a good building sea- :
son, both demand and price should improve.
From the foregoing remarks the conclusion
would be natural that lumber manufacturers
had made a great deal of money duging the
year. This, however, was not the case. The
increased prices obtained were in large part
wiped out by the excessive cost of labor and
supplies and the inefficient service rendered by _
the average lumber employee. Work in the
woods was extremely costly; the woodsman —
did not accomplish within fifty per cent. of as
much work as the woodsman of a few years
ago. There was also great difficulty exper- ‘
ienced in keeping the camps in operation ow-
ing to the number of*‘jumpers.” The net profits
accruing to lumbermen, therefore, were prob- | ¥ of.
ably little, it any, greater than in the previous |

year. ees

The production of white pine lumber was
about equal to that of 1902. The Georgian
Bay district shows an increase of about 10 per
cent., while this increase is offset by a smaller
output in the Ottawa valley. In the following

4 2 QUEBEC.
: The lumber manufacturers ot the Province

of Quebec suffered inconvenience and loss
cs during 1903 owing to extreme drouth through
’ the spring and summer, and, in fact, continu-
ing well into the fall. Many logs were hung
up, and consequently the mills were not kept
in constant operation. There was a good
demand for spruce lumber throughout the
year, and, on the whole, prices were slightly
higher than in the previous year. Almost
without exception manufacturers placed their

ae production of British deals under contract
early in the season, so they were not affected
ae ‘by the temporary decline in spruce prices
= which occurred in Great Britain about mid-
a summer. Clapboards were exported largely
ae to the United States, and prices continued high
= until near the close of the year, when there

_ was a drop of about $3 per thousand feet, part
of which was subsequently recovered. Cedar

_ shingles sold slightly higher than in 1902.
- Stocks at the close of the year were excep-
tionally light, and conditions are favourable

_ for another good season.

, The ‘trans-Atlantic shipments from the St.
Lawrence ports show an increase of 5,698, 345
feet. This increase is due to the expansion in
; trade at the way ports, as the exports from

for timber ruled at about 60s. for leading ports,
with higher rates for surplus hardwood.

THE MARITIME PROVINCES.
No expansion of the Jumber business of the
Maritime Provinces occurred during 1g03. On
the contrary, shipments show a considerable
falling off owing to two causes—first, an inade-
quate supply of logs to keep the mills constant-
ly in operation, and secondly, the somewhat
unsettled condition of the British market. The
log shortage was perhaps a blessing in disguise,
for it is doubtful whether the markets could Be
have absorbed much more lumber than was
manufactured without bringing about a decline
in prices. As it was, the manufacturers real- 3 I
ized fair prices and net profits were nearly as uf
great as in the previous year. .
The log cut on the Miramichi river in the
winter of 1902-1903 was 125,000,000 feet,
against 123,000,000 feet the year before. Lack
of sufficient water was a great drawback to
stream driving operations,and as a consequence
a portion of the log output was hung up. On
the St. John river, also, 40,000,000 feet of logs
failed to reach the mills on account of drouth.

’ The logs hung up will, in all probability, come

out next spring and be available for early saw-

ing. The estimated cut of logs on the Miramichi

river this winter is 200,000,000 feet. The stock

of logs wintering on the Miramichi is 5,000,000

feet more than last year, and the sawn lumber

10,000,000 feet greater. s
It will be seen from the statistics below that

‘the total trans-Atlantic shipments of lumber

fromthe province of New Brunswick were 391,-

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN

compared with the previous year, and the
smallest since 1896, when they were 386, 000,-
ooo feet. The port of St. John shows a falling
off of 25,000,000 feet, and Miramichi 20,000,-
ooo feet. : ;
No complete returns are obtainable showing
the shipments to the United States, which were
quite heavy, that market having absorbed a
larged quantity of spruce clapboards, cedar
shingles, and lath. From the consular district

of St. John the shipments of lumber, shingles“

and lath to the United States were valued at
$941,851, as against $1,105,714 in tg02, or a
cai of $163,963. The statement for 1903
as furnished by the United States Consulate is
as follows: /

During the early part of the year there was
a brisk demand for spruce clapboards for ship-
ment to Boston and other eastern points, where
for atime they sold as high as $45 for No. 1,
wholsale. This price was not held through the
entire year, however, although the market re-
mained firm. New Brunswick cedar shingles
opened the year strong, with extras selling
readily at $3.50 for Bostondelivery. Towards
midsummer competition from red cedars re-
sulted in a decline of 15 cents and for the bal-
ance of the year the shingle market was irreg-
ular, closing with the price of white cedars at
about $3.40 for extras. There is a consider-
able stock in the hands of manufacturers, buf
the winter production is likely to be smal'er
than usual. The increase in the stumpage
dues on cedar timber, which has just be>n put
into effect, should have a tendency to enhance
the value of cedar products of all kinds. The
trans-Atlantic shipments from the different
ports of New Brunswick for the past two years
were as follows :

The year was more profitable to the lumber
manufacturers of Nova Scotia than to their
confreres in New Brunswick. They did not
suffer to the same extent from drouth, and a
large and profitable trade was done with South
America and the West Indies. These markets
absorbed a great deal of lumber with compara-
tive ease, and at the close of the year prices
were advancing. South American stock which
in 1902 sold at $15.50 per thousand readily
brought $16.50 last year. British deals were
sold at an advance of about ten per cent.
The advance, however, did not go
into the pockets of the manufacturers, but
represented higher wages and other increases
in the cost of logging operations. Mr. Alfred
Dickie, of Stewiacke, was the largest shipper
from the province, exporting 55,000,000 feet
of deals, besides a large quantity of lath. A
considerable quantity of hemlock lumber was
shipped from Nova Scotia. Unfortunately, it
has been impossible to obtain the complete
returns of shipments from Nova Scotia.

BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The year was one of unsettled conditions for
the lumber trade of British Columbia. Business
started out prosperously. Mills wece operat-
ing to their full capacity, and there was an
active denand for lumber. The great ex-
pansion in the production, however, was more
than the markets could stand, and _ before
many months passed there were evidences that
the supply was gradually exceeding the
demand. The manufacturing capacity which
was greatly increased in 1902, was further
enlarged last year, when several large mills
were completed and put into operation for the
first season. Inthe Kootenay district alone
109,000,000 feet of lumber was manufactured.
The situation promised to become somewhat
serious, when steps were taken by the manu-
facturers to restrict the production. The

_ time it diminished, and on 31st December

- = i a ‘@
British Columbia Lumber and Shingle M:
facturers’ Association, acting in conjunctior
with the Mountain Lumber Mannfacturers’
Association composed of the interior mills, was’
successful in regulating the supply, with the —
result that prices during the year were well
maintained.

The over-production in shingles was more
apparent than in lumber, but in the fallan
arrangement was affected for the disposal of
the combined output in a manner which, it is
expected, will ensure a steady market during —
the current year. $

Apart from the home consumption of lumber, —
which was above the average, especially in
Vancouver, where it increased about 30 per
cent. during the year, the most important fac-
tor of the lumber industry is the Northwest
market, and that factor will be more and more
apparent in the future. In respect to that
market, however, the interior mills of British
Columbia are in a much better position to
compete than those of the coast. The latter
have a 40-cent rate with two mountain ranges, _
against a 15-cent rate in the mountains, with
only one mountain range to cross. * eee

The export lumber trade of British Columbia __
shows a growth for the year, the Victoria Lum- _
ber and Manufacturing Company having great-
ly increased their shipments from Chemainus.
The only other exporting firm is the British —
Columbia Mills, Timber and Trading Company _
of Vancouver. The total exports were approx-
imately 62,000,000 feet, as against 56,000,000.
feet in 1902. The Victoria Lumber Company
exported 32,000,000 feet and the B. C. Mills, :
Timber and Trading Company 30,000,000 feet. _

The significant feature of the year’s export
business is the increased trade with South
Africa, the shipments being more than double __
those of the previous year. A muchlarger —
business was also done by British Columbia
lumbermen with the United Kingdom, and
there was a slight increase in the shipments to
South America. On the other hand, the trade
with Australia shows a marked falling off.
The figures in detail for two years are given
below :

DOES LUMBER COMBINE EXIST IN THE WEST?

Statement Issued by Mr. D. E. Sprague with Reference to Recently Published Interview with Vice-
President Whyte, of the C. P. R.

In arecently published interview, Mr. William Whyte,
second vice-president of the Canadian Pacific Railway,
is reported as saying that “the owners of saw mills,
and retail dealers in lumber, are endeavouring to
maintain high prices for lumber and to surround the
retail business with restrictions which tend to influence
the market,” and that while ‘‘it may be possible that
there is no combine among the mill owners,” yet
“‘there is certainly an arrangement with the Retail
Dealers’ Association under which that association
dictates as to the location and number of retail lumber
yards, and thus practically controls the market and
dictates the selling price.”

With reference to this matter, Mr. D. E. Sprague,
of Winnipeg, gives out the following statement:

There has from time to time appeared in the press
much unfavourable and unjust criticism of the Lumber-
men’s Association, sometimes by politicians, whose
motives it may fairly be assumed were not any philan-
thropic desire to protect the public, but for reasons of
a much more personal nature, either political advan-
tage or personal gain. Other criticisms have been by
those originally members of the association who did
not consider the rules and regulations sufficiently rigid
to meet their views, and therefore sought such adver-
tising as opposition to the association would give them.

All such criticisms I have considered were not entitled

to either answer or explanation. Now that a pros-
pective competitor has appeared in no less a company
than the C.P.R., through its manager, Mr. Whyte,
who gives a lengthy interview in the press, not com-
plimentary to the association, it is only fair that the
public should be given the facts. Mr. Whyte’s unjust-
ifiable statements may be due to the fact that for the
past year or so he has not been so intimately connected
with the operation of the C.P.R. as formerly, and in
consequence would not have so great a knowledge of
the conditions obtaining throughout the country regard-
ing the lumber supply, or the very unsatisfactory
service provided by his company for the transportation
of the necessary supplies, or it may be that Mr. Whyte
has been misinformed by some of the other officials
since assuming the active management of the road.

I agree with Mr. Whyte to this extent, that next to
the continual agitation in connection with the exurbi-
tant freight rates and inefficient transportation facilities
generally, there is nothing probably which tends more
to retard immigration than the bug-bear of high-priced
lumber and the difficulty in securing building material
at a reasonable price. That it is a bugbear and nota
condition can be easily established.

C.P.R. AS MANUFACTURERS,

The Canadian Pacific Railway or any other railway
company receiving government aid by grants of timber
or other lands, has no right to enter into competition
with private individuals, in either manufacturing or
business enterprises. This principle is generaily
recognized by governments, by refusing to grant per-
mission in their charters. The manufacturers of lumber,
Iam sure, would cheerfully welcome as brother lum-
bermen any C.P.R men who would invest their own
capital and do business under the same conditions that
the present lumbermen have to meet. This would be
a very different proposition to C.P.R. officials conduct-
ing a lumber business with C.P.R. funds, and finally

. losing sight of the profit or loss in a general round-up

of the C.P.R. profits.

RESAONS FOR ASSOCIATION.

Previous to the year 1890 or 1891, the lumber manu-
facturers sold direct to the consumers throughout the
country. This naturally took from the retail dealer the
most desirable trade in histerritory, and in many cases
rendered it impossible for him to make a living. The
trade generally was in a most unsatisfactory condition.
The dealers realized that something must be done to
save the capital invested, and protect them from the

unfair competition referred to. The manufacturers

were in sympathy with the dealers in this movement,
inasmuch as it improved the condition of the retailer
and enabled him to more promptly meet his bills. The
association was, therefore, organized to protect its
members from unfair competition, to collect and dis-
tribute among its members such information as may be
of service to them, and generally in the interest of the
retail lumber trade to watch carefully the probable
public requirements, and endeavour at all times through
its members to have at all points a sufficient stock of
lumber to meet the demands.

Among the first public services rendered by the
association may be mentioned a reduction of 5 cents
per 100 pounds onthe then existing rates on lumber,
secured through a letter dated about ten years ago,
and addressed to the General Passenger and Freight
Agent of the C.P.R., which letter was presented by a
deputation of the dealers urging action thereupon, and
a further reduction was at the same time obtained by
the dealers from the manufacturers, both of which
reductions were given to the consumers.

The following is a copy of the letter referred to:

WINNIPEG, Feb. 13, 1894.
R. Kerr, Esq., Gen. Freight and Pass. Agent, Western
Division of C.P.R.

Dear Sir—At the annual meeting of the Western Re-
tail Lumbermen’s Association, having a membership of
150 and comprising all the retail yards of this province
and the eastern part of Assiniboia, held here on the
t2th inst., the question of the existing freight rates was
discussed, and a committee appointed to bring under
your notice that the rates charged by your railway are
excessive and burdensome.

The committee chesen desire to submit for your
consideration the cost and charges on lumber to the
consumers ; the price paid for rough lumber at the
mills being the grade largely used by farmers per 1,000
feet on cars is, at Rat Portage, $12; Fort William, $10;
and British Columbia, $8. The average freight there-

‘ on is, from Rat Portage, $6 ; Fort William, $10 ; and

British Columbia, $.. The terms upon which lumber
is sold are 60 days, with freight as cash. Add to the
wholesale cost at the point of sale the retail dealers’
charge, say, $3, and it will be readily seen that the
cost of lumber is more than the consumer can afford to
buy it at, and, asa matter of fact, so much so is this
felt that very many tarmers throughout the country
continue to live in sod houses, and in more than half
of the country a few miles distant from the railway
the outbuildings are sod. In order to overcome this
disability and improve the existing state of matters,
we ask you to make a considerable reduction in the
freight rates charged upon lumber, -and while we do so
it is our opinion that a reduction in the price of lumber
will vastly increase the demand for it, and to such an
extent, that in a short time the increased hauling ot it
will more than compensate your company for the lower-
ing of rates. Following such increase in business the
retail dealer will be enabled to sell the lumber at a less
percentage than possible at present.

We, as residents of this country and having an estab-
lished business in it, are greatly interested in its wel-
fare, and knowing that the advancement and develop-
ment of the country is of paramount importance to your
company, seek tO impress upon you the unfortunate
position and the hard times now prevailing, and so
much to be deplored ; and while we may not claim to
be worse off than the world generally, this is the posi-
tion of it that more closely affects our well being. We
feel with the natural advantages of the country and the
assistance you can so readily extend in the way of
cheaper freight, matters can he much improved.

There can be no doubt that high cost of lumber is of
great consideration with the farmers in locating settle-
ments, and the incoming stranger is most likely to at
once feel the depressing influence upon him in the lack
of proper buildings so general throughout the country,
and which are so essential in good farming.

We as a retail association feeling alike interest
your railway company in the advancement and settle-
ment of the country, are prepared to guarantee any
reduction made by you (which we feel sure” will be
made upon giving this matter your valuable attention)
in freight rates that the consumers shall receive the full —
benefit of such reduction in the cost of lumber to them.

At present we are withholding all orders for lumber
that can be avoided and should your decision in the
matter be against the lowering of the freight rates, it
will be necessary to continue the curtailment of our
trade. 5

Hoping to have an early reply from you.

Yours respectfully,
Receilee :

It may be interesting to the public to note that ten _
years ago the association was as alive to the public
requirements and necessities as the C.P.R. appears +e
be to-day, and strangest of all were appealing to this”
same C.P.R. to reduce rates, which seemed to be | A
excessive and which were in consequence retarding —

men’s Association. 2 Aa be (a

Dear Sir—Referring to our general conversation on -
the subject of the movement of lumber into the North-

newly-arrived settlers to obtain immediate supply oF 5
‘lumber, and get it out to their locations without delay.
Iam glad to learn that your association has realized
the importance of this, and that you have decided to a
make an extended trip through the district referred to,
tor the purpose of meeting the dealers at all points
and impressing upon them the necessity for immediate
action. I will have our travelling freies agent accom- :
pany you and render all the assistance in his power.

The position this company take, is that the early —
movement of lumber as above explained i isa necessity,
not only in our interests, but in that of the country at
large, and we feel that should the dealers at the differ-
ent points decline to order for immediate shipment from
the different mills for reason that the lumber may not :
be sold immediately on its arrival, that we would be Me
compelled to take some other means to get the lumber
into the district. We do not desire to interfere in any
way with the arrangements of your associati ion, or the
business of your members, and I sincerely hope that
we will not be compelled in any way to do so, but as I
have already said, the lumber must be moved at once.
I need not say to you that on the opening of navigation
our power and rolling stock will be severely ‘taxed to |
handle the large movement of grain to the lake front, :
and it will then not be so easy for us to supply cars at
the different lumber mills as it is at present. This isa
further reason why lumber should move immediately.

=

You brought up the question of whether this com
could offer any inducement for this early movement in
the matter of freight charges, and I have said ‘to you
while we do not want to change our regular system
that respect, we would be prepared to con
reasonable proposal in that direction, provided <
factory protection would be afforded us, and that
should not lose our lien upon the lumber. In ot
words, at points where large quantities are requi
and the dealers are not financially able to immedi:
pay our charges, and take delivery of the lumber, w
might devise some means of allowing them to unload
the lumber on our property to remain in control of ou
agent on the understanding that charges would be p
within a period of 30 days after arrival, if delivery
not taken and charges paid prior to that period.

~~

‘proposal of this nature and report the same, when it
will receive our immediate consideration.

It is of course understood that the lumber manufac-
turers would agree to give corresponding assistance to
the dealers in the matter of longer dating on their bills.
Let me utge upon youthe importance of making your
trip on the earliest possible date, and wishing you
every success on same.

( Yours faithfully,
(Signed) F. W. PETERS,
Assistant Freight Traffic Manager.

WINNIPEG, Feb. 10, 1903.

_ To the President and Directors.
__—_—‘* T have to inform you that in pursuance of your direc-
tions to me, I proceeded on the 23rd of January, along
with Mr. Miles, C.P.R. Travelling Agent, to attend
meetings of the dealers which I had called for the pur-
pose of bringing before them the purport of a letter
receivec from the Canadian Pacific Railway, urging
the importance and necessity of the dealers throughout
45 placing their orders for lumber at once for spring
requirements.

Meetings were held as follows :—

Moosomin, the dealers there and outlying districts,

Wolseley, the dealers there and outlying districts.

Regina, the dealers there and outlying districts.

Moose Jaw, of the members there and outlying
points, and dealers on the Soo line.

Railway and the manufacturers there.

Calgary, of the members for Alberta. At this meet-
ing deputations were appointed, one to visit the manu-
facturers on the line of the Crow’s Nest Pass Railway,
‘and one to visit the manufacturers of the coast, both
for the purpose of placing this matter before them,
_and to urge them to take tangible action in assisting

_ the proposed movement.

visited the dealers on the line of the Souris Railway,
placing before them the desirability of ordering at once
their spring requirements. :

It was urged at all the meetings the necessity and
advisability of early placing orders for prompt delivery
for a sufficient stock of lumber to meet the requirements
of the early spring trade, and any exceptional demand

_ likely to arise through incoming settlers.

:. Secretary-Treasurer.

The directors of the association consider that their
first duty is to the public. They therefore insist upon
- their members at all times keeping a sufficient stock of
jumber to meet the public demand in their Iccality.
-_-With this object in view, they addressed the following
: circulars to their members as early as July, 1902 :

: WINNIPEG, July 29, 1902.
iy To the Active Members of this Association.

Information having reached the directors that many
retail dealers do not keep a stock of lumber commen-
" - surate with the requirements of the trade.

At the meeting of the directors just closed, a motion
was passed instructing me to issue the following intima-
Aion
_-——s« «* That in all cases where it is found that an inade-
quate stock of lumber is kept by an active member to
supply the ordinary demands of trade at such point,
any application for membership, therefore, will receive
que consideration by the board of directors.”

SASKATOON, Feb. 24, 1903.
Isaac Cockburn, Esq., Winnipeg.

Dear Sir—In reply to yours of 4th inst., my absence
at the Coast prevented my sending you an earlier
reply. My present stock is three cars shingles,
400,000 feet of lumber and stock of sash, doors, etc.

I have just returned from the West, where I have
been for the purpose of seeing for myse!f who have the
material. Firms were accepting orders and promising
prompt shipment, and nothing was coming in. I am
glad to say I have procured about three-quarters of a
million feet. This, with my stock on hand, I am satis-
fied, even if mine were the only yard here, would be
sufficient to supply demand until Prince Albert mills
were running. If C,.P.R. were only as prompt in
delivering the cars as they are in urging us to place
orders, it would be more satisfactory. I cannot help
thinking that shippers, on account of heavy rates, and
long delays in delivering to these outside points, prefer
to ship to points on main line, especially where demand
is in excess of supply. Yours taithfully,

- (Signed) A. L. BROWN.
SakaTooNn, March 19, 1903.

Dear Sir—I have been told to-day bya traveller
that we are reported to be starving for lumber up here.
This to a certain extent is true. There is no person
that I know of who cannot get whai he wants, but un-
less the railway company will bring material in, we shall
certainly run out. I think it time that complaint
was made as to the serious condition of matters here.
All the early part of the winter the C.P.R. were saying
and urging us to buy material. We have bought it,
and it is being and has been shipped, yet a car coming
in here is an exception. Merchants are suffering for
want of groceries. Coal has been out, until yesterday,
for three weeks. I am suffering loss by firms refusing
to allow me discounts as goods are not paid for within
the 30 days ; yet if I pay for them it is as likely as not
that I may not receive them for another 30 days, and
yet I suppose if there is any shortage the blame will be
laid on us.

I saw myself, three weeks ago, cars in Regina yard
for me that had been shipped some time, probably they
are there yet. They certainly are not here. Can you
do anything at your end? I have written to head-
quarters myself, but it seems to do no good.

Yours truly,
(Signed) A. L. Brown.

SASKATOON, March 20, 1993.

Dear Sir—I wrote vou yesterday with regard to
the disgraceful service we are getting in regard to
delivery of cars of lumber or anything else. I wrote to
Winnipeg some time ago, and have written to-day to
the general superintendent.

Would this matter of delay be within your province
after all the fuss they raised about our getting in a
supply of material? From present indications we are
in a hopeless muddle. What it will be later on is hard
to say.

We had a coal famine for three weeks only relieved
yesterday. Sugar and such like articles have been an
almost unknown quantity for weeks. Iam told there
are close to 150 cars at Regina awaiting to come up
along this road, and the number increasing all the
time. j

I thought it as well to advise you of this matter in
time, so that if any shortage of lumber should occur,
there is no blame to be attached to us here. The loss
to me is serious. I am losing cash discounts. Money
was paid out weeks ago on cars prepaid to Regina,
and I have not the lumber yet.

Yours faithfully,
(Signed) A. L. BRown.

Referring to the above Mr. Brown having failed to
get his lumber forward, took the train at Saskatoon
and came on to this city to endeavor, if possible, to get
the authorities here to give such instructions as would
be the means of the lumber being sent on to him, with-
out further delay. When Mr. Brown reached here he
called upon Mr. Cockburn, and stated the position
that he was placed in through the detention in trans-
portation of his lumber. Mr. Cockburn and myself
called upon Mr. Lanigan and stated the unfortunate
circumstances in which Mr. Brown was placed through
the non-arrival of his lumber. Mr. Brown on his way
here, and while at Regina, in looking through the
yards discovered that several cars of his lumber were
lying on a siding. He at once drew the attention of
the C. P. R. local agent there to it, and was told that
it was out of their power to get the cars so shunted as
to take them on by the outgoing train. Mr. Lanigan
on being told of this fact gave us the strongest assur-
ance that Mr, Brown’s lumber would be sent forward
to Saskatoon at once. Mr. Brown returned home feel-
ing that he would certainly have some relief in this
matter ; but to the surprise of myself and Mr. Cock-
burn, some days afterwards a telegram received from
Mr. Brown informed us that the lumber was still held
at Regina. This telegram was taken to Mr. Lanigan
as a reminder that his promises had not been fulfilled.

If the railway company, after lumber is manufactured
and loaded on cars, are unable to get it to its destina-
tion within a reasonable time, what chance would
there be for the early spring settler to Secure his lum-
ber when he required it, provided the same eempany

undertook to supply the same demand from the same
tree ? It would appear to the outsider that the com-
pany should first energetically address itself to pro-
viding an ‘efficient transportation service, and when
that is secured, undertake other industries that pro-
mised profit or pleasurable employment.

REGARDING PRICEs.

In order that the public may see where their money
goes, I append hereto statements of four cars of lum-
ber imporjed by me over the C. P. R. These cars are
not select2d on account of the small profit shown, but
because they cover a wide range of material. I invite
Mr. Whyte to call at my office, when I shall be glad to
let him verify these figures, and the statements of 4o or
50 other cars which show similar results.

ADVERTISING RATES ON APPLICATION.

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN is published in the interests of the
lumber, wood-working and allied industries, being the only
representative in Canada of these important interests. It aims
at giving full and timely information on allsubjects touching
these interests, and invites free discussion by its readers.

Especial pains are taken to secure for publication in the
WEEKLY LUMBERMAN the latest and most trustworthy market
quotations throughout the world, so as to afford to the trade at
home and abroad information on which it can rely in its
operations. Subscribers will find the small amount they pay
for the CANADA LUMBERMAN quite insignificant as compared
with its value tothem. There is not an individual in the trade,
or specially interested in it, who should not be on our list, thus
obtaining the present benefit and aiding and encouraging us to
render it even more complete,

Advertisers will receive careful attention and liberal treat-
ment. For manufacturing and supply firms wishing to bring
their goods to the attention of owners and operators of saw
and planing mills, wood-working factories, pulp mulls, etc.
the CANADA LUMBERMAN is undoubtedly the cheapest and
most Sto twas advertising medium. Special attention is
directed to ‘“‘WANTED” and ‘‘ For SALE” advertisements, which
are inserted in a conspicuous position on front page ‘of the
Weekly Edition.

LAW IN THE LUMBER BUSINESS.

A decision recently given by the county judge
at Barrie, and confirmed by the Court of
Appeals, contains some statements which do
not meet with the approval of the lumber trade,
and which, if followed in practice, would mean
a reversal of existing custom. The judgment,
which will be found on another page, follows
precedent in so far as it declares the method

‘which should have been pursued, but the rea-

soning leading up to the conclusion would seem
to be somewhat erroneous.

The plaintiffs sold to the defendant a carload
of tamarac f.o.b. cars Severn Bridge, the stock
to be 2x6 inch and up. The evidence showed
that the lumber was not all 2 inches in thick-
ness, but that it varied from 1% inch to 2%
inches, also that some of it was wedged stock,
being about one-half inch thicker at one end
than at the other. On these grounds the de-
fendant refused the lumber and suit was brought
by the plaintiffs to recover payment for same.

There seems to be no doubt that the lumber
supplied was not according to specification,
but the defendant did not follow the proper
course in refusing to accept the lumber. He
should have unloaded and inspected same at

- destination and paid for what was up to con-

tract, at the same time notifying the shippers
regarding the quantity rejected, and advising
them that it was held at their risk, and that
unless taken away by a certain time it would
be sold at the best price obtainable. It would
then have been in order to have entered an action
for such damages as accrued in filling the

_ order for which the lumber was intended. The

result of this law is that a buyer may, without
any negligence on his part, he forced into a

law suit, but as the interests of both shipper
and consignee have to be considered, this law
is believed to be on the whole the most equit-
able.

‘Judge Boys says: ‘‘I find 2 inch in the trade
includes a variance in thickness of anything
one-quarter of an inch below or above 2 inches.”
That this is the custom in the trade will be
news to the generality oflumbermen. Lumber
2 inches in thickness is intended to be capable
of dressing to 134 inches, so that if the lumber
were furnished 134 inches in thickness it would
when dressed be only 114 inches. No customer
would be willing to accept 13% inch dressed
lumber for flooring or other similar purpose

when the order called for 134 inches. The

inspection rules do not permit any such vari-
ance as % inch. __If such were the case, there
would be very little two inch lumber on the
market, as manufacturers would find it very
profitable to cut 134 inch and sell’it as two
inch, and so with other sizes.

Judge Boys further says: ‘‘In cutting
tamarac allowing a variance of this kind is
particularly required, as the trees are small
and it is difficult to prevent springing on the
mill carriage.” Tamarac logs are not consid-
ered difficult to saw and especially where the
lumber is above 6 inches in width, as in this
case. Uneven sawing is most likely to be
caused by inferior mill equipment, the dogs
not being in proper condition to hold the logs
up to the saw. Elm and several other timbers
are much more difficult to saw evenly than
hemlock.

THE WESTERN LUMBER SUPPLY.

The Commission appointed by the Dominion
Government to investigate the charges that a
combine existed for the purpose of obtaining
extortionate prices tor lumber sold throughout
Manitoba and the Territories were unable to
find any evidence of such combine, and after
one or two preliminary sittings adjourned.
In view of this fact the announcement made
within the past month that the Canadian
Pacific Railway has under consideraticn the
erection of a large saw mill for the purpose of
breaking the so-called monopoly was not taken
seriously. The statement of the company’s
plans, however, is attributed to Mr. White,
second vice-president, and should, therefore,
carry some weight, particularly as a denial of
the statement has not, so far as we know, been
made.

That the Canadian Pacific Railway should
show such a keen interest in the welfare of
the farmers of Manitoba and the Territories is
a paradox. If their policy in the past had
been tempered in the slightest degree by this
sentiment, the public might accept the state-
ment with some credence. However, we do
not think the lumber trade have much to fear
from competition by the C.P.R. They have
heretofore ventured into the lumber busiaess
with doubtful results. If our recollection
serves us, the large mill in the Crow’s Nest
Pass, equipped with expensive machinery, was
dismantled after being in operation for a year
or two.

The statement by Mr. Sprague, published
elsewhere in this number, shows that the

Western Retail Lumbermen’s Association
had the interest of the consumer at heart ;
than has the Canadian Pacific Railway. One —
of the first steps taken by the Association was
to endeavor to obtain a reduction in the freig vg
rates on rough lumber, which was successful, _
and was followed by a reduction in the first —
cost by the manufacturers, both of which re-
ductions were given to the consumers. By ©
thus lowering the cost of lumber a stimulus —
was given to consumption; farmers who had —
previonsly lived in sod houses were encouraged |
to build comfortable frame homes. The Asso-
ciation was fully alive to the necessities of the
public and of the western country, while
C.P.R. showed no such philanthropy as t
now seem anxious to be credited with. __ x
Coming to later events, it will be reme 1-
bered that about one year ago the railway com
pany and the association agreed upon a plan 7 di
which, it was thought, would prevent an im-
“+ 7
pending famine in lumber at many western a
points, the plan being that dealers should
place their orders early so that the railroad —
company might be able to deliver the lumber be- _ :
fore the busy season. The scheme might h:
worked out satisfactorily had not the C.P.
failed to carry out their part of the bargz
Dealers who placed orders early, as requested, —
were inno better position when the
trade opened than if they had followed | their
usual custom, the reason being that the rail
way company dij not transport the lumber as.
agreed, but in some cases at least allowed the a
cars to remain on sidings ror weeks. Mr.
Avery, a dealer of Austin, Man., tells of ship-
ments which were a month coming from the
coast. Here again was lacking an interest in
the welfare of the consumer. Sale ,*

“2

The legitimate. business ofa cael is the
transportation of goods, and experience has
demonstrated that the Canadian roads have
their hands tull in attending tu this alone. ae
the C.P.R. is anxious to improve the position
of the western farmer, this might be done by a
reduction in the exorbitant free rates which
are frequently charged. : » Aifeat x

An important decision affecting hardwood
flooring was rendered recently _by a judge of
the United States Circuit Court. The suit was”
brought by the T. Wilce Company, of Chicago,
who claimed that all manufacturers using the
present method of making end-matched maple ; i 4

them. The court in the first decision u pheld cP ry
the validity of the patents, but upon ‘the pre-_
sentation of new evidence the case was re th
opened before the same judge, who set as
the original verdict and gave judgment

During the past five years there has been

all kinds, in some cases with very unsa
tory results. Building, on the other hand,

‘in this direction being overlooked. A reversal
of these conditions may be expected in the
a ‘next few years, with the result that there will
be a more plentiful supply of dwellings and

the rapidly growing population of this country.
a Increased investment in building will do much
towards continuing the present prosperous
conditions. It will also create a heavy demand
for lumber and shingles.

_ We might suggest to the lumber manufac-
turers of British Columbia that, with a little

_ more effort and preseverance, they could mar-
ket alarger quantity of lumber in the East.

more pronounced each year and consumers are

Columbia would probably be found suitable.

oes In view of the large number of planing mill
men and general woodworkers who have be-
‘ . come subscribers to the CANADA LUMBERMAN,
it has been deemed advisable to put in a de-
partment for them wherein will be found
articles pertaining particularly to the working
- _up of lumber into sash, doors, mouldings, and
other manufactured products. The department
‘he appears for the first time in this issue, and in
a it, in response to an inquiry, a method of man-
_ufacturing spiral mouldings is explained at
some length and diagrams given. Similar prac-
tical articles will appear each month. That the
space at our demand may be utilized to the
best possible advantage, we invite and would
appreciate s-ggestions from woodworkers as
to subjects which might with most profit be
discussed from time to time. Readers are
also requested to contribute articles for publi-
- cation on pertinent subjects. By so doing they
__will encourage the interchange of ideas and

ss JUDGMENT IN A LUMBER SUIT.
ase Messrs. Mickle, Dynent & Company, of
Barrie, Ont., were the plaintiffs, and J. W.
= Collins, of Toronto, the defendant, in a suit of
considerable interest to the lumber trade in
___ which judgment has recently been given. The
plaintiffs shipped to defendant a car load of
tamarac for flooring, specified in the plaintiff's
price list to be ‘‘2x6 and up,” but which the
defendant refused on the ground that the lum-
- ber was carelessly sawn, being badly wedged
and uneven in thickness, and some boards not
over 1% inches in thickness. The lumber was

so .

refused and the plaintiffs sued to recover. The
case was tried in the County Court at Barrie
before Judge Boys, who gave judgment in
favor of the plaintiffs. The defendant appealed
to the Divisional Court at Toronto, and the first
judgment was sustained. The judgment of the
County Court is given below:

MICKLE, DYMENT & CO. VS. J. W. COLLINS.

I think this case is covered by Dyment vs. Thomp-
son, 9 O.R. 566; 12 O. App. R. 659; 13 S.C. 303. The
original. decision in that case in the Local Court was
upheld in all our Courts, and it may be considered the
leading case on the subject in Ontario. There the
lumber retained its distinctive character of lumber and
half was not open to objection. Hagarty, C. J., in 12
Ont. App. at p. 662 said: ‘‘It may of course be con-
ceded that the defendant was not bound to accept any
parcel of goods which had lost such character—the
lumber became his (defendant’s) property to all intents
and purposes as soon as shipped. He would have to
bear the loss of destruction in course of transit. Its
delay on the road, or its destruction in transit would
hardly be an answer to the plaintiff's demand of the
acceptance. All these considerations seem to me to
point to the conclusion that if the defendant did not
choose to have his interest protected by having his
agent to inspect the shipping, he is to be left to his
cross-action or counter-claim to recover any damages

‘consequent on the sending of any inferior quality of

lumber.” And the C.J. quoted from Campbell on Sales
(1881), page 388, as follows: ‘‘The rationale of the
matter may be thus put : In regard to faults which are
latent at the time of delivery, or where there is under
the circumstances no opportunity of inspection at or
previously to delivery, the purchaser may take delivery,
relying upon the tender (tbat is, the offering of the
goods) as a representation that the goods are accord-
ing to description, and in that case his acceptance is
not necessarily final, but may be recalled upon dis-
covering the defect, provided he has made examination
as soon as is reasonably practicable, and that he
notifies his rejection immediately on making the dis-
covery.” And after quoting from Benjamin on Sales
3rd Amer. Ed. see 703; citing Pease vs. Copp, 67
Barb. 132, for the proposition that ‘ if goods are to be
delivered by vendor at a certain place, it is the.
vendor's duty to have some person at the place of
delivery to inspect it before it is transported to some
other place,” the C.J. then states : “ It is not easy to
deduce a clear rule from the very large number of
authorities on the sale of goods, either on a present or
executory contract as to the right to reject or rescind
the contract. I can cnly decide this case on its par-
ticular facts, and on these facts I arrive at the con-
clusion that after the shipment on the railway of
lumber answering generally the kind of lumber con-
tracted tor, the vendee had not the right to reject any
number -of car loads, because of the inferiority in

quality of a portion in each load, but was left to his |

claim for damages, p. 665.”

Burton, J. A., said ‘‘By the terms of the contract
between the parties the seller of the lumber was to ship
to the defendant f.0.b. the cars at the latter's expense,”
and at p. 668 his Lordship continues, ‘‘The mere defect
in quality in other respects. would not be a ground for
rejection unless the article was entirely unmerchantable,
and the defendant, I think, has not made out a case to
show that the contract, that is, a contract for plank of
the dimensions. specified, has not been substantially
carried out, but I am of opinion further that the learned
Judge at the trial took the proper view of the contract
when he held that the inspection was to take place in
the plaintiff's yard.”

PATTERSON, J. A., stated the terms ofthe contract to
have been ‘‘ist. The thing to be supplied, which was
plank of red and white pine, 18 feet long, 2 in. thick and
any width from 6 to 12 in., and, 2nd, the quality of the
article, which was to be the same as that supplied the

year before.” ‘‘The delivery was to be on board the
cars and not at any place to which the defendant might
order the lumber to be sent,” p. 669. Much ot the con-
tention of the defendant for his right to reject at Ham-
ilton a number of car loads of the lumber while he
accepted other loads was based upon the view .of the
contract that the property did not vest in him until he
had an opportunity of inspecting it at whatever place

he directed the plaintiff to send it to. Ido not intend
to discuss this palpably extravagant contention,” p.p.
669-670. Then if the article delivered was the article
agreed to be delivered the dispute is narrowed to the
quality and place of inspection and is not so material as
it seemed to the litigants at one time to be ; the quality
is said to have to a certain extent fallen short of what
it should have been.”

The Court held that the defendant’s only remedy was
in damages for the inferiority of the article delivered,
and on appeal the Supreme Court affirmed the judg-
ment of the Court of Appeal, holding that under the
circumstances of the case, Thompson, the defendant,
had no right to reject the lumber, his only remedy for
deficiency being to obtain a reduction of the price, or
damages for non-delivery according to the contract.

Sir W. J. Ritcuie, C. J., said: ‘‘ Of course, if the
article shipped was of an entirely different character,
the case would be very different, but here the descrip-
tion was substantially satisfied, which resolves the
dispute into one of quality.”

TASCHEREAU, J., said: ‘‘I am of opinion that this
appeal should be dismissed upon two grounds, Ist,
because, under the circumstances as disclosed by the
evidence, the property in the goods passed to the
vendee at the time of shipment; 2nd, on the ground
that the appellant having received, paid for and
accepted a substantial part of the goods, his right of
rejection was gone.”

GWYNNE, J., stated: ‘‘That defendant pleaded a
right to reject lumber forwarded to him by the plaintiff
under a contract of purchase upon the ground that the
lumber so rejected was not sound, good square edge
stuff, fit for car flooring, which, as he said, was the
lumber contracted for. The defendant in that case
claimed the right of rejection of the lumber, which he

rested, as Judge Gwynne stated, chiefly upon the con- ,

tention that the lumber was purchased for a special
purpose, namely, for car flooring, and for which, as
was contended, it was wholly unsuitable, but which
purpose was not expressed in the contract as it was
found to be in the opinion of the learned Judge.”

I have quoted so largely from this case as the
facts of it appear to me very similar to the facts of the
case I have now to deal with. Here the lumber. was
offered for sale as being at Severn Bridge by a ‘‘ Stock
List” issued by the plaintiffs from Barrie and the
defendant wrote them that he had received this stock
list and he saw they had 17,000 feet of 2x6 and wider
tamarac at $14 per M. Severn Bridge, and that they
could ship him a car as soon as possible of this tamarac,
and stating that he would also take 4,000 feet 3x6 to
12” pine M.C. at $10.50, and that the plaintiffs could
make up the car with 2x6 and wider tamarac and
spruce at $14.00 per M. This was on March 6th, 1903,
and on March 7th, 1903, the plaintiffs replied stating
‘‘We expect there will be enough of the spruce and
tamarac to make the two cars and we will lay out the
balsam!” The two cars were sent but apparently on
different days, and the one containing the pine with
some tamarac and spruce appears to have been sent
before, or at least, arrived in Toronto, before the
other. No objection was raised to this load, but when
the car of tamarac arrived, the whole carload was
refused acceptance, on the ground of the lumber being
badly sawed, some pieces being, it was claimed, 1%
inch,others 134 and 2 inches and 2% and 2% inches in
thickness, and not even at both ends or at both sides.

On the evidence there is no doubt some pieces were
not according to the contract, but they were not so
numerous as to warrant the rejection of the whole car
load. These faults were not latent, but could be
easily seen by inspection of the carload—the car was
an open flat car.

xThe tamarac was to be 2 inch plank, and from the
evidence of experts given atthe trial, although contra-
dictory, I find 2 inch in the trade includes a variance in
thickness of anything one-quarter of an inch below or
above two inches. Thisiarises from the impossibility to
cut all boards exactly of one thickness, and in cutting

tamarac allowing a variance of this kind is particularly |

required as the trees are small and it is difficult to pre-
vent springing on the mill carriage.

_ .There is no doubt in my mind that this lumber was _

not anything so different from what was ordered as to
justify a refusal of the whole car-load, and as the salé
took place at the mill at the Severn Bridge, where the
delivery also took place, and as I find the lumber—al-
though a small portion of it was not up to what was

ordered—was still substantially according to contract, ~
it should have been accepted, and the defendant should |
have counterclaimed or have brought a separate action —
The judgment will —

be for the plaintiffs for the amonnt claimed with costs.

Under the pleadings I do not see that I can makein .

this suit any allowance to the defendant by way of set-

off or otherwise, but if it should be necessary for the ©

defendant to bring anaction to recovera fair allowance
for the culls and defects in the lumber and my consent
thereto should be necessary it will be granted.

Another point in this case must have been considered
it the one it has turned on had failed the plaintiffs, that
is, as the total order was loaded on two cars, and one
carload was accepted, whether that did not prevent the
defendant refusing the second carload and leave him to
a cross-action for any claim he had.

18 3 THE CANADA LUMBERMAN

CHANGE IN MANAGEMENT.

Mr. Harlan P. Hubtard, who opened a sales
agency at Toronto, Ontario, a little over a year
ago for E. C. Atkins & Company, in order to
serve their growing trade in Canada to better
advantage, has been called to a sphere of
greater usefulness with his firm and made
general superintendent of the immense factories
at Indianapolis, Indiana. Mr. Hubbard was
wonderfully successful in his work in Canada,
but his superior qualifications in the practical
end of the business of necessity resulted in his
advancement. “ He began his new duties
January first, being succeeded in the old by
Mr. C. D. Ten Eyck, of Detroit, Mich., a

Mr. C. D. TEN Eyck.

gentleman of fine address and pleasing per-
sonality, who will undoubtedly meet witha
cordial reception from the trade and continue
the work so auspiciously begun. ;

POINTERS ON THE HARDWOOD EXPORT
TRADE TO UNITED KINGDOM.

By “EXPORTER.”

At this time, when lumber dealers are look-
ing forward to the coming season and thinking
how they can improve their position, to those
who have not yet tried the export business as a
means to this end, and may now think of doing
so, I would like to offer a few suggestions,
which may prevent beginners from making
some of the mistakes usually made by those

on 2 2
noo

who enter upon this line of business for the first
time, and which often result in dissatisfaction
to the importer and disappointment and loss
to the exporter. These suggestions may also
be found useful to some exporters who are
looking around for means to make the most of
this now keenly competed for trade, and who,
either from carelessness or want of appreciation,
have overlooked some of the points given.

First of all, to those who are only now think-
ing of trying the export business, the question
arises ‘‘For what charges am I liable on the
shipments I send forward ?”” To answer this it
is necessary to understand the different terms
of sales. There are shipments on contract and
consignment shipments. Goods shipped on
contract are usually sold on c.i.f. terms, that is,
the shipper has to pay freight and insurance
to destination, the cost of both of which items
can be ascertained at shipping point. Besides
these charges there is a discount of 2% per
cent. and the brokers’ commission, both charg-
ed on the gross proceeds of the goods, to be
allowed for both on contract and consignment
shipments. Goods that are not shipped or sold
on c.i.f. terms incur dock charges, which vary.
at different ports and which it is not my inten-
tion to deal with in this article.

It is always best for anyone who intends
exporting regularly to establish distinguishing
quality marks for his shipments—marks which
will become familiar among importers—and to
deal only through one agent in each port or
district, to avoid competition among his own
shipments. A sub-mark can be used to dis-
tinguish each shipment. To emphasize the
advantage of having recognized marks, I
might state that hundreds of carloads of lumber
are contracted for annually by mark alone. Of
course, it is always necessary to keep the grades
represented by these marks of a uniform stand-
ard.

The care of shipments is a point which re-
ceives more or less attention from all shippers

and shipments of lumber are often cleated on
ends, thin boards bundled, &c., but in regard
to the bundling, there are one or two points
which are wotthy of mention. The same number
of boards should be put in each bundle and bill
of lading made to read a certain number of
bundles each containing so many boards. Al-
most invariably a certain proportion of the
bundles become loose in transit, and in the case

of bills of lading calling for a certain number —
of bundles only, the ship agents are only bound —
to deliver that number of bundles, so that all
that it is necessary for them to do to repudiate __
a claim for shortage, in a case where some of
the bundles have become loose, is to maintain
that the loose pieces delivered represent the
contents of the bundles short delivered and that
is being done every other day. On the other
hand, if bill of lading is worded as suggested
above, the shipper is protected in a case of that
kind. '

The best material to bundle with is probably —
a good strong twine. Hoop iron and wire ©
are objectionable because they are more difficult _
to unloosen and sometimes injure the boards.
Small wood, such, for instance, as squares 3.
inch and under square or 36 inches and under
in length, should be bundled, not only to pro-
tect them, but to save extra expense in handling
such small pieces. fea!

In taking out bills of lading there are several —
important points to be thought of. Through
bills of lading are usually claused ‘‘more or
less” or something to that effect, which relieves
the carrier of any responsibilty in case of short-
age. When bills of lading are worded in that
way, although railroad companies are not
responsible for shortage in quantity delivered
to ship, ship agents are responsible for any
further shortage that may occur in deliveries
from ship. To recover the latter shortage, it is
necessary to present ships’ receipts, and these
should be asked for from railroad companies
and be sent on to shipper’s agents to enable
them to check deliveries and fileclaimif meces- =
sary. Bills of lading which do not contain
any of these clauses for the protection of rail-
road companies in event of shortage are called
“clean” bills. ib

Another point to be noticed is to get separ-
ate bills of lading tor each shipment that is to ;
be delivered separately, as even although
marked differently, ship agents are not respon- _-
sible for separate delivery of goods shipped on
one bill of lading. Goods should be consign-
ed direct to brokers or at least it should be
stipulated in bills of lading that they are to be
notified, so as to avoid the possibility of goods —
arriving unknown to the brokers. Documents
should also be sent forward promptly, as in
these days of quick transport, it is not an un-
common occurrence for the goods to arrive be-
fore the documents necessary to obtain deliv-
ery of them.

As to grading, there are no hard and fast
rules.

s

Prime or first quality wood corresponds
with firsts and seconds and the lower grades
with American classification, although a good
deal depends upon the ideas of the buyers, which
we fear are inclined to fluctuate with the state

of the market. rs

The lumber business, is practically at a
stand-still. . Outdoor work has been ren-
dered difficult by the severe weather and
heavy snow storms, and the latter have
made it almost impossible to make ship-
ments. The trade generally are now more
concerned about prices that are to be
asked for new stock than anything else.
It is admitted that the outlook is favor-
able for a heavy local consumption of lum-
ber as soon as spring opens, the demand
for buildings of all kinds being still great.
In Toronto the increased building opera-
tions have not yet provided an adequate
supply of houses, and similar conditions
exist in many other places. Granting,
therefore, that there will be an average
consumption of lumber, it becomes a moot
question what course prices willtake. A

Lid

few persons predict a decline in values;
others, and perhaps the majority, contend
that present prices will oe maintained,
and by the more optimistic it is predicted
that there will be a sharp advance when
the season gets in full swing. A strong
argument in favor of higher prices is found
in the fact that the winter has been un-
favorable for work in the woods. Opera-
tors have been forced to stop skidding logs
on account of the deep snow, and the es-
timated cut,
than the preceding year, promises to be
further curtailed from 15 to 25 per cent.
by the cause referred to. All kinds cf
lumber will be affectéd, but particularly
hemlock and hardwoods, which are con-
fined almost entirely to the snow belt.
The fact that dealers and consumers are
anxious to contract for stock at current
prices is an evidence that the probability
of a serious log shortage is appreciated.

pine, 4o to 45 feet, delivered at Quebec, is
55 cents, and for Ottawa waney 65 cents
per 18-inch average and 69 cents for 21-
inch. Birch timber is also about 2 cents
per cubic foot higher and there has been
a slight appreciation in red pine. New
Brunswick spruce deals wintering at St.
John are reported to be slightly weaker.
The larger manufacturers, however, are
holding their asking prices steady, as they
claim that they cannot sell at a lower
figure without incurring loss. New Bruns-
wick cedar shingles still range from $3.30
to $3.40 for extras on Boston freight rates.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,

The lumber trade is more quiet than
usual at this season of the year. Dealers
are not carrying large stocks, but are dis-
posed to delay placing orders until later in
the season. Indications point to another
very active building season in Winnipeg,
as already plans are under way for a num-
ber of important structures. At provincial
points also there is likely to be consider-
able activity and a large consumption of
lumber. Some apprehension has been creat-
ed by the breaking up of the Pacific Coast
Lumber Exporters’ Association by which
the cargo trade of the Pacific coast was
controlled. Itis said that already one of
the British Columbia companies engaged
in that trade has reduced the wages of its
employees on account of a decline in lum-
ber prices. Many ofthe logging camps
are closed down as a result of deep snow.

UNITED STATES.

At this time there is very little lumber
moving in the United States. Any dis-
position to buy has been thwarted by the
severe weather, and until there is a decid-
ed change little activity islooked tor. In
the face of these conditions, prices rule
very firm. The middle grades of pine are
less firm than the rest of the list, but there
is no marked weakness in anything. It is
said that in the Lake Superior district the
lower grades are bought up so closely that
the market is almost bare of stock. Recent
quotations on No. 5 boards from manu-
facturers are $7.50 and $8. There con-
tinues to be a steady demand four box
lumber, and some concerns who have been
short and have been unable to obtain stock

" owing to the heavy snow storms are in an

awkward position. Some contracting for

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION

the new cut has been done and there
seems to be a disposition on the part of
consumers to place orders whenever they
are offeredthe sl ightest inducement, as
they recognize the probability of a Jumber
shortage on account of unfavorable log-
ging weather. Hardwoods are not moving
very actively, but the position is strong.
At many points the supply of dry stock is
practically exhausted and sales that are
now made are of lumber yet to be cut or
that is being manufactured. There is some
demand from dealers for maple,“ soft
elm, birch and basswood. The Hardwood
Manufacturers’ Association last week
adopted a new list which makes an advance
in the prices of cherry, walnut, hickory,
thick ash, and one or two other kinds of
lumber. The hardwood lumber business
of the United States is now thoroughly
organized and thisshould do much towards
maintaining prices.

GREAT BRITAIN.

Lumber buyers in Great Britain are pur-
suing a waiting attitude. The question of
war or peace between two powerful
nations is still in the balance, and if the
negotitiations now pending should be fol-
lowed by hostilities,the effect upon the tim-
ber trade would not be beneficial. There
is also the uncertainty regarding the fiscal
policy. The most that can be expected
under these conditions is that lumber
prices will remain steady. The most im-
portant development during the past fort-
night is a decline of ten shillings a stand-
ard in the price of Swedish redwood. This
has caused buyers to be still more cautious
and it is difficult to close contracts. Pine
deals have been received at Liverpool and
London in considerable quantities from
Portland and Boston, evidently the low
rate of ocean freight being an inducement
to ship by rail to these points. Asa rule
the shipments have been upon arrival and
consequently values remain firm, with
perhaps a slight upward tendency. Spruce
deals are going into consumption at a mod-
eraterate, and notwithstanding the low
prices realized at late auction sales values
generally are firm.

STOCKS AND PRICES.

O. J. O’Brien, who is lumbering at Noel,
N. S., expects to cut 500,000 feet of deals
during the coming season.

The trans-Atlantic shipments from the
port of Tusket, N. S., in 1903 were 4,000-
ooo feet, the shippers being Dickie & Mc-
Grath.

S. O. Church & Bro., of Sand Point,
Ont., have seven camps in operation tak-
ing out cooperage stock timber, six in
Ontario and one in Quebec.

Hugh Rutherford, of St. Helens, Ont.,
recently sold to Mr. Mitchell, of Lucknow,
180 trees for $1,80e—another evidence of
the value of standing timber.

J. McTeigue, ot Port Arthur, Ont. » 1s
asking for tenders for the supply of 1,500
standard railway ties, including green
cedar, tamarac and jack pine.

Fifteen million feet of lumber owned by
White, Ryder & Frost were destroyed by
fire at Tonawanda, N. Y., last week. It is
said that the loss is upwards of $300,000,
but that the lumber was fully insured.

A Toronto firm is reported to have pur-
chased 15,000,000 feet of lumber from the
Edward Hines Lumber Company to be
cut this season by the Hayward mill at
Duluth, Mion, The stock is intended for
export,

About 8,000,000 feet of No. 3 and No. 4
boards was last week sold to Buffalo
parties, partly at Duluth and partly at
Cloquet, Minn. Itis said that $12 was
paid for No. 3 and $6.50 for the No. 4.

Lumbering operations are being carried
on quite extensively in the vicinity of Mid-
gic, N.B., this winter. The operators
are Arthur George, of Upper Sackville,
Isaac Kay, of Centre Village, and Charles
Hicks and J. & C. Hickman, of Midgic.

It is estimated that the log cut on the
Penobscot waters this winter will exceed
that of last season, amounting probably
to 225,000,000 feet. On the St. fohn river
waters in Maine,which include the Aroos-
took river, the aggregate cut will be
64,000,000 feet.

Lumbering operations around New Lis-
keard, in the Temiskaming district, were
very active this winter. The Rideau
Lumber Company, J. R. Booth and E. B.
Eddy, of Ottawa, are all operating there,
while J. B. Klock, of Klock’s Mills, and
Gillies Bros., of Braeside, are taking out
square timber. It is estimated that these
lumbermen will purchase from the settlers
tully $200,000 worth of saw logs and
pulp wood this winter.

The Department of Interior, Ottawa, is
asking for tenders up to February 24th
fora license to cut timber on Berth No.
1133, township 7, and on Berth No. 1134
situate on Bloodvein river, both in the
Province of Manitoba. The former con-
tains 24 square miles and the latter two
square miles. The Department will also
receive tenders up to March 22nd for alic-
ense to cut timber on Berth No. 1138 in
the vicinity of Fox Plain, District of Sas-
ketchewan, containing thirty square miles
to be select2d in not more than six blocks
within a prescribed area.

Newman Silverthorne, Somerville,Ont.,
last week sold to A. S. Lamb and William
Harris,of Meadowvale,the standing timber
on about 150 acres of land situated at
Somerville, in the township of Etobicoke,
ten miles west of Toronto. It is probably
the largest body of standing timber near
Toronto and consists of maple, basswood,
beech, elm, hickory, oak, birch, ash anda
small quantity of hemlock. The purchasers
are to remove the timber within a period
of four years and are to be allowed to cut
all trees over 15 inches in diameter 3 feet
from the ground. It is stipulated that the
timber must be manufactured onthe ground
While the details of the transaction are not
announced, it is understood that the pur-
chasers agreed to pay about $8 per thous-
and feet for the timber as it stands. If
this price is correct it indicates the en-
hanced value of a hardwood forest.

Under date of January 16th, Messrs. S.
P. Musson, Son & Company comment on
the Bardados lumber market as follows:
‘There have been no arrivals of either
white pine or spruce since our last report,
but dealers’ yards are fully stocked, and if
further receipts take place in the immedi-
ate future we anticipate lower prices. Of
the lots mentioned in our last the spruce
by the ‘‘Lolita A” was rejected and re-

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
[Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN]

It is now an assured fact that the log cut
in the Ottawa district will show a marked
reduction on that of the season of 1902-
1903. On account of the deep snow, log
cutting has had to be suspended from
three weeks to a month earlier than was
expected at the beginning of the season
as judged by the records of previous years.
Even the work of log hauling has been
attended with great difficulty and hundreds
of extra horses have had to be engaged.
On most of the limits the snow lies from four
to five feet in depth.

Business continues slack in and about
the lumber yards. As a consequence
prices show few changes and hold to
the figures that ruled for several months
past. Pine shorts have declined a dollar
a thousand. Lath isalso easier by twenty-
five cents, but shingles are firmer, showing
a corresponding advance. In hardwoods
there is considerable uncertainty and ic is
difficult to catch a figure. A larger out-
put in the Ottawa district is looked for,but
as the demand is constantly increasing,
this will make little or no difference on
prices.

The latest deal in square timber secured
for the McArthur Export Company the
cut of the Mason & Gordon Company, of
North Bay. The prices mentioned on the
street is 58 cents.

Government returns show that the square
and waney timber output will be slightly
greater this season than last. While there
is a marked falling off in the Kippewa dis-

trict there is an increase in the Georgian

Bay and Thunder Bay districts.

Hurdman & Elmitt, of Ottawa, haye
contracted for the entire cut of 1904 shin-
gles at the mill of the James Maclaren
Estate at Buckingham. The same enter-
prising firm handled this shingle cut last
season.

On account of low water caused by the
accumulation of anchor ice and snow, it
has been found necessary to shut down the
big Booth mill. Dynamite is being used
to blast out the ice.

The Booth mill is receiving daily large
shipments of logs by rail from the Mada-

waska limits.

REORGANIZATION OF A LUMBER
BUSINESS.

The business of Robert Stewart, Guelph,
Ont., has grown so rapidly that it has
been found necessary to re-organize, and
a limited liability company has been form-
ed to continue the business. Mr. Singer,
who has represented the Waldstein Lum-
ber Company, of St. Louis, Mo., has re-

signed that position and is taking an active
interest in the management of the new
company, which is known as the Robert
Stewart Company, Limited. Mr. Robert
Stewartis president, Mr. R. D. Stewart
vice-president, and Mr. Singer secretary
and treasurer. The capitalization is $100,-
ooo. They have already greatly increas-
ed their stocks of pine and harawood lum-
ber, for which they report an active de-
mand at good prices. Mr. Robert Stewart
is one of the oldest lumbermen actively
engaged in the trade, his business having
been established in 1856.

THE BOSTON MARKET.

Millions of feet of spruce logs were left
in the Maine rivers last year, which will
come down early this spring. The high
prices of lumber have stimulated logging,
so if the weather is favorable a large
amount of logs will be put into the rivers
this winter. The large supply of this
year added to the surplus of last year may
depress the price of spruce lumber. Re-
ports from most of the large lumber yards
of New England say they have on hand

NEW CROWN TIMBER AGENTS.

Mr. Thomas George Wigg, who was recent-
ly appointed Crown Timber Agent for the new
district of Thessalon, Ontario, was born ‘n
Norfolk County, near Norwich, England, on
the eighteenth of October, 1863, and came to
Canada with his parents when he was three
years old, they taking up their residence at
Lakefield, near Peterborough. He acquired
his education at the public schools of his

‘Mr. T. G. WicG,
[Crown Timber Agent for Thessalon District.
neighborhood and in Peterborough, and at the
age of about fourteen years, spent a term in
celebrated Collegiate of Dr. Tassie in Galt.
After Mr. Wigg’s school days, he entered
the employ of James G. Ross & Company, the
once well known Quebec shippers of timber,
clerking and culling for them in the Township
of Harvey, County of Peterborough, and else-
where. He remained in their employ for over
five years, from 1879 to 1884, l.aving spent one
of these years in their Oswego lumber yard and
‘fon the road” selling lumber and timber for
that firm.

In the year 1885 Mr. Wigg entered the em-
ploy of R.A. Strickland & Company, operating
in timber on the waters of the Mississago, in
the Townships of Gladstone and Montgomery,
in the district of Algoma, overseeing the
making and scaling of theic timber for export,
and continued in their employ about three
years. After they ceased operations the De-
‘partment of Crown Lands for Ontario offered
him the position of wood ranger for the Gov-
‘ernment along the north shore of the north
channel of Lake Huron from Sault Ste Marie
ets. 2 te the French river, which he accepted. He
__- remained in the service of the Ontario Govern-
eo ment until after the death of P. C. Campbell,
crown timber agent for the district, when the
Government divided the territory and were
pleased to offer Mr. Wigg the appointment,
which he accepted, of crown timber agent for
the sub-division extending from the neighbor-
hood of Bruce Mines on the west to Massey on
“the east. His headquarters are at the town of
Thessalon.

Mr. Wigg is well connected, being related to

arine Parr Traill and others ,whose names are

Mr. E. B. Lloyd, the new appointee for the
Temiskaming district, was born in the Town-
ship of King, York County, and was appointed
under the Hardy administration by Hon. J. M.
Gibson, then Commissioner of Crown Lands,
as a forest ranger. In that capacity he tra-
versed the Muskoka, Parry gound, Nipissing,
aud East Algoma districts, as well as a portion
of the Temiskaming region, and has penetrated
the great north as far as the Abbittibi waters,
having thus obtained a wide knowledge of the
resources of the chief lumbering districts of the
province. He also spent seven years in the
spruce forests on Lake Winnipeg. Mr. Lloyd
states that he has found an abundance of
young pine growing, which shows the benefit
of protecting the forests and of inaugurating
practical methods of reforestation. He admires
the foresight of the Ontario Government in set-
ting apart forest reserves, which he regards as
a national asset of great value. Mr. Lloyd’s
headquarters are at New Liskeard.

’ DESTRUCTION OF TIMBER BY INSECTS.
The United States Department of Agricul-
ture has issued an interesting bulletin on a

Mr. E. B. LLoyp,
“Crown Timber Agent for Temiskaming District.
disease of the western yellow pine known lo-
cally as the ‘‘bull pine.” This timber con-
stitutes the principal growth of the Black Hills
Forest Reserve in South Dakota, and it is

rather startling toy learn that about half the
trees in the reservation, containing some six

hundred million feet of valuable lumber, are
either dead or dying. The disease, known to
lumbermen as ‘‘bluing,” is caused by a beetle,
which burrows under the bark of the bull pine,
and gnaws longitudinal channels, and soon
completely girdles the tree. Everyone knows
that the upward flow of sap in trees in the
spring takes place in the soft layer just under
the bark; and, when the flow is interrupted by
the cutting of the layer, the tree dies. This is
the result of the channeling of the bull pine by
grubs, the leaves turning yellow and then
dropping off, while the wood exposed to in-
fection from the scores of fungi soon assumes
a blue color, from the development in it of a
blue parasite. The blue color affects only the
sapwood and it is found that the strength of
the timber is. not injured by it; but the
way is prepared for other fungous growths, and,

in a year or two, a red parisite, something like
the familiar dry rot fungus, attacks the wood,

feeding upon the cellulose, and completely de-

The author of the bulletin, Dr.
Hermann von Schenk, advises that all trees
of which the wood is blued, but not yet de-
cayed, should he cut downat once, and the
timber utilized before the ‘‘red rot” renders it
unserviceable; an that the rotten and useless
trunks, which menace the entire forest with
destruction by fire, should be removed.

THE NOVA SCOTIA LUMBERMEN’S
ASSOCIATION.

An adjourned meeting of the Nova Scotia
Lumbermen’s Association convened at Truro,
N.S., on December 29th, 1903, for the trans-
action of general routine business and the
election of officers for 1904. In addition to
adopting by-laws, Mr. J. H. Livingstone’s
resolution in respect \to better, fire protection
for timber lands ;was considered. Mr. T. G.
McGrath, of the Western Nova,Scotia Associa-
tion, was present, and stated that that body

President Nova Scotia Iumbermen’s Association.
were drafting a bill in connection with the
same matter, which would be presented at the
next session of the Provincial Legislature. It
was, therefore, decided to co-operate with the
Western Association and present a joint

memorial.

The following officers were elected : Presi-
dent, Alfred Dickie, Stewiacke ; vice-president,
J. H. Levingstone ; treasurer, W. H. Kent;
secretary, D. G. McDonald.

ANNUAL MEETING OF LUMBERMEN.

in Winnipeg on Wednesday, March 2, 1904.

DEVICE FOR CUTTING SPIRAL MOULDINGS.

A subscriber writes that there isa device
that can he attached toa “‘sticker” or ‘‘shaper”
that will cut out rope or spiral mouldings, and
asks that the device be described in these
columns.

There was a device invented a number of
years ago bya Mr. Pendell, but which has
been very much improved bya Mr. James
Long. It is made as follows:

The stock should be sawed out and struck
round a sticker, or run through a hollow round-
ing chuck. Over the cutter-head of any
machine you wish to use, fix a movable table
with a opening in the bottom, through which
the knives can come up. Then take a block
of wood 1¥% inches thick by 6 inches wide, 16
inches or 18 inches long, and bore, say, a
seven-eighth inch hole to one side and through
the block, letting the bit cut out be about one-
eighth inch (as in Fig. 1.) Fasten this block
on the table over the knives, so that a rod in
the block will lie at an angle of about 45 to
the cutter-head. Then run bed of machine up
until knife will cut a full bead or beads. The
best to experiment on will be the three-strand
when cut with acommon stocker knife, with
three beads one-half inch or thereabout, with
the centre head dropped back a little. The
next thing to be considered is the arrangement
for twisting the stock through the block. Take
a block of hard wood 4 inches wide, seven-
eighth inch thick, and 8 inches long; slot each
end about 2 inches. Take two thin pieces of
steel (old band saw blades will do), make them

,. sharp on the back, into the

block lengthwise in saw kerfs about one-fourth
inch apart (see Eig. 2) ; the object of the slot
is to make the beads intersect. Fig. 3 shows
the twister in position. The stock is twisted

through by hand. Incase the knives do not
cut out the feed marks, move the twister until

- they do. The tighter you have the twister the
more positive the feed.

and drive them

es Fig. 4 and 5 show improvements originated
By Mr. James Long. Fig. 5 is an end view
of the form, which is V-shaped in order to les-
sen the friction and cause the work to feed eas-
ier ; at the same time it keeps the piece tight
inthe form. The diagram also shows a three-
eighth inch piece, which is fastened to the form
h by screws. This three-eighth inch is cut out
just enough to let the bead cutters come through
J

VWood-VWorker

and Retaiias

in the center, and it is secured to the table of
machine by iron hand screws. Fig. 4 shows a
plan or top view of the wooden form. It will

whole arrangement is very perfect, producing
first class work, and even cypress can be turn-
ed out finished without sandpapering. The
arrangement of this form is such that it can be
easily adjusted it the idea is understood and a
little patience exhibited until satisfactory re-
sults are obtained. A crank handle about 8.
inches long, with a thumb-screw to tighten the
crank on the stock, is shown in Fig. 3, and is
a great help in twisting. There is nothing
neater or prettier in appearance than a small
rope moulding placed in the corners of panels
and other ornamental cabinet work and the gen-
eral run of joiner’s work, and the cheap and
simple manner in which these mouldings can

be made, after the plan here described, com-

mends them for a great many purposes. Fig.

WASTE IN HANDLING LUMBER. -

I wish to call the reader’s attention to the
wasteful manner of caring for seasoned lumber,
particularly hardwood. When it is received
from the mills or yards it is in good condition,
but of mixed lengths of from 12 to 16 feet.
Often, after being delivered, says a writer in
the Wood-Worker, it is allowed to lie exposed
to the weather, sometimes for days, finally be-
ing piled by men whose height of ambition is
measured by the height of the pile; for men of
ambition and energy soon graduate from the —
roustabout list. The pile is generally started
in the most convenient place, without any re-
ference toits future use, with any kind of
foundation nearly level. Let me repeat it,
nearly level.
liarities of a poor pile. This lumber is gener-
ally piled as it is picked up, with most of the
long boards near the bottom. As the pile goes
upwards numerous ends are seen projecting 2
to 4 feet.

fastened down with a couple of cross banc :

and stones. grt

Let us note the result with such a construct-
ed pile. A good share of the long boards, —
after six months’ exposure to the sun and rain,
have from 2 to 4 feet of firewood attached. It
it profitable for the laboring man to cut up
such piles at any time ; in the winter they can
use part of it for fuel to warm the shop ; in-

the summer, where wood is sold to the men, ra

the piles are nearly level this is a serious
‘matter, as the top lumber will become very wet
in winter. I have seen four or five layers of
unstripped lumber frozen together. This was
- taken into the shop and worked up; the pieces
with the most ice on were thawed out around
the stove, and all completed together. After
two weeks’ time the finished articles were
found to have shrunk more than ¥%-inch.

space in illustrating the defects in much lum-

what I believe to be a good practice. Select
a convenient place for the pile, where it can be

reached easily, especially when heavy stock is

wanted. Build a good foundation, something
that will not shift and settle much as the pile
-jncreases. Give the foundation at least one inch
‘slant in 12 feet. I do not like to pile nearly
level and slant the cover, as that leaves space
for snow and rain to blowin. If possible, sort
your lumber and place the different lengths in
piles by themselves, so it can be cared for and
cut to better advantage.
- If the pile is stripped, use enough strips to
keep the boards straight, and place one above
the other; place the end strips even with the
‘ends of the boards. Let each succeeding layer
of boards project a little over the one below

The- Standard.

THE IMPROVED

(on the high end, of course). This will provide

a drip for the moisture and prevent the pile
from becoming wet. Cover the pile with boards

of good width, at least equal the length of the
stock, and tie the same down, and you have a

_ pile of lumber that you will be proud of. It
looks well, and you can rest assured that when

you wish to use some of it, it will be found in
good condition, even it a foot of snow has to
_ be removed before you can get at it.

have been experimenting with basswood for
this purpose, and up to the present time find it
superior to pine. I have two boards, a pine
and basswood, each with a section oiled with
common dipping oil, exposed under the same
conditions. I teel confident the oiled basswood
will prove the best for lumber cover.

Under no conditions pile kiln-dried lumber
out of doors with only a cover to protect it, as
it will absorb moisture and need drying again.
Never pile different kinds of lumber on top of
each other, as you will probably want the cov-
ered lumber first.

deal more durable than the ordinary cast iron
article. They will wear almost like steel, and
the flanges will not break off, as the flanges of
a cast iron wheel are very likely to do.
Another important innovation in the new
truck made by this company is the manner in
which they make their steel roller bearings.
They are gotten out by a special machine that
points the ends. A certain amount of friction
is necessarily caused by the flat ends of the
axle coming into contact with the sides of the
truck—which is the case in other trucks. In
‘‘The Standard” only the points come into
contact, and they are almost as sharp as pins.

This reduces the friction to a minimum, and
makes, in the opinion of the manufacturers,
this truck by far the easiest running truck on
the market.

The cuts here shown give an excellent idea
of the new improved dry kiln truck made by
the Standard Dry Kiln Company. The com-
pany has recently gotten out a number of new
patterns, and will be pleased to send a copy
of their catalogue on request. The catalogue
gives a detailed description of their various
styles of trucks, the prices of which are as
moderate as is consistent with their extremely
high quality.

THE LUMBERMEN’S ASSOCIATION OF NEW
BRUNSWICK.

A meeting of the Lumbermen’s and Limit
Holders’ Association of New Brunswick was
held at St. John on January 12th, at which Mr.
Henry Hilyard presided. The chief subject
discussed was the increased charges on timber
recently announced by the Government. The
stampage rate, whic had been one dollar on
spruce and pine, fifty cents on fir and eighty
cents on cedar, was increased to $1.25 in

each case, while the charge for renewal of

leases was increased from $4 to $8 per mile.
The expression of the lumbermen was that the
timber limits had not increased in value, but
had rather decreased. While no objection wes
made to the increased dues on pine and spruce
it was felt that the dues on cedar should not
be higher than one dollar, as the price of
cedar shingles is low. Further, in Quebec
only 65 cents is charged, which places
New Brunswick manufacturers at a disad-
vantage.
The mileage charge in Quebec is only $3, as

against the new rate of $8 fixed by the New
Brunswick Government. It was decided to
appoint a committee to present a memorial to
the Government setting forth the views of the
‘Jumbermen. This committee will be composed
of Messrs. Henry Hilyard, John E. Moore
Kilgour Shives:

OBITUARY.

In the January number reference was made to the
death of Mr. F. T. Wilkes, secretary-treasurer of the
Waterous Engine Works Company, whose portrait is
here shown. The loss to the city of Brantford and to
the company with which he was associated is felt most
keenly. A local writer pays him the following well-
deserved tribute :

He came to Brantford when a young man to enter
the office of the Waterous Company, and his many
splendid qualities soon led to his rapid promotion.
For many years he had been secretary of the concern,
and in that capacity he rendered valuable and untiring
service. With splendid loyalty and never ceasing
energy he thoroughly identified himself with the

Tue Late Mr. F. T. WILKES.

interests of the firm, and at all times he gave of his
best. If there was one characteristic of the deceased
more than another it was bis sense of justice. He
expected at all times promptness, efficiency and energy,
and that which he looked for in others he rendered
himself, full measure, pressed down and running over.
Honorable in all his aspirations and dealings, he won
the sincere respect and esteem of ali with whom he
came in contact. As a citizen and friend he was the
embodiment of truth and loyalty and all the duties of
lite were discharged by him with a single and a sincere
desire to do that which was right. In the home he
was a devoted husband and affectionate father. None
save those whom he held most dear can begin to com-
pute his many acts of kindness and thoughtfulness and
their sorrow can only be mitigated by the fact that
such a life carries with it all the comfort of the divine

assurance.” -

The County of Compton, Quebec, has lost one of its
oldest, and for many years one of its most prominent
residents, in the person of Mr. Wiiliam Sawyer, who

passed away at his home in Sawyerville on January
11th. Mr. Sawyer had been in failing health for some
time, and of late it was apparent that his hold upon life
was being slowly relinquished.

William Sawyer, ex-M.L.A., saw and grist mill owner
and ‘lumber? manufacturer, was born in Sawyerville
November 26th, 1815. He always resided there, with
the exception of seven years from 1820 to 1827, when
his parents lived in Stanstead. He wasa grandson of
Josiah Sawyer, after whom Sawyerville is named, and
who was probably the first settler in Eatcn. The latter
first came in about 1792, and in 1796 brought in his
tamily from the States. John Sawyer,then a young boy,
came in with his parents and lived to a ripe old age.
He died in Cookshire in 1869. William Sawyer was
married at Sawyerville, September 10, 1839, to Julia,
daughter of the late J. B. Smith.
Compton county, in the Conservative interests, in the
Quebec Legislature, from 1871 to 1886, when he resign-
ed, and was succeeded by Mr. John McIntosh, He was
a generous giver to the Methodist church. Fighting
opposition, adversities and discouragements, he labored
to secure the building of a railway from Cookshire to
the boundary line through Hereford, and this he lived
to see accomplished in the present Maine Central Rail-
way. He has carried on successfully large business
interests at Sawyerville.

MARKET FOR PIT PROPS.
Mr. Peter B. Ball, Commercial Agent at Birmingham,
England, writes to the Department of Trade and Com-

merce as follows :-—

In connection with this, on going through the
colleries,I find that enormous quantities of pit props are
imported from Norway, France and Portugal, and
see no reason why Canada cannot supply this want
this district.
year, and the colliery ,roprietors are cnly too anxious
to get in touch with people in Canada.

The French people have been sending pine (which
has been tapped to bring out the rosin), but this takes
a great deal of life out of the stick and in case of
crushes in the colleries, they are apt to break too
suddenly, thus making it very dangerous. Norway
supplies pine, but sappy, and Portugal supplies a
harder wood which is rather more expensive. One
reason why these countries are supplying so cheap to
Wales is that the low freights on the return voyages
make the goods cheap. I should think that from the
size of the props required, Canada with its spruce and
small pine should be able to supply this demand.

THE CHICOUTIMI PULP COMPANY.

The plant of the Chicoutimi Pulp Company
is situated within about a mile of the pretty
town of Chicoutimi, which stands on the south
side ofthe savage River Saguenay, sixty-eight
miles from its mouth. The town of Chicoutimi
has a population of six thousand inhabitants,
who are principally engaged inthe pulp and
lumber trade. The town is reached during the
whole year by the Quebec and Lake St. John
Railway, and in the summer by steamboats.
Ocean vessels can come wi hin four miles of
Chicoutimi.

The officers of the Chicoutimi Pulp Company
ace: President, Hon. N. Garneau; Vice-Presi-
dent, J. D. Guay; Board of Directors, Hon.
V. W. ‘Larue, M. P., J* A.-Conture;
V. S., G. Lemoine, Quebec ; F. X. Gos-
selin and J. E. A. Dubec, managing director,
Chicoutimi.

The property of the Chicoutimi Pulp Com-
pany represents a capitalization above $1,500,-
000, and when any man with an intelligible
knowledge of machinery, and engineering con-
structional work, visits Chicoutimi and in-
spects the property and the immense work ac-
complished to remove the obstacles of nature
by engineering skill, he cannot fail to observe
the vast task completed, and admit that the
amount of money was well and judiciously
spent. The dam above the falls is a large con-

tract of itself, and holds back a depth of over

20 feet of water, that runs through the im-
mense steel flume 13 feet in diameter, made
and placed in position by Ryter, Connolly &
Co., Pittsburg, Pa., at a cost of $60,000. The
dam cost $75,000.

The old mill (built in 1897) has proved that
it is a first class wood pulp mill. It has nine
grinders, twelve wet machines, and turns out
200,000 Ibs. of ground wood pulp (wet) per
twenty-four hours.

The new mill, recently dedicated, cost $600,-
ooo. It consumes 3,000 twelve feet logs per
24 hours. This mill has twenty grinders and
eighteen wet machines, and turns out 400,000
Ibs. of ground wood pulp (wet) per 24 hours.
The work was Carried out under contract
given to Mr. Emile Cote, of Quebec. The
iron structural work in connection with the
building was done by the Phoenix Bridge Com-
pany, of Phoenixville, Pa., and the Dominion

‘Bridge Company. The walls were built by

Mr. C. Johnson, of Niagara Falls, and the
twenty grinders were installed by the Wm.
Hamilton Manufacturing Company, Peterbor-
ough, Ont., and Pusey & Jones, of Wilming-
ton, Ohio, which firms putin 10 each, ata
S. Morgan Smith
Company, of York, Pa., installed the turbines
at a cost of $40,co0, while the rotary screens
were contracted for by Baker & Shelin, of
Saratoga Springs, N.Y. The shaking screens

‘were supplied by Yansen & Dahl,

Christiana,
Norway, and the diaphragm screens, 40 in
number, by the Waterous Engine Works
Company, of Brantford, Ont.

The wood preparing plant and boilers and
hydraulic presses were obtained trom Bonner
Bros. & Company, Syracuse, N.Y. The shaft-
ing and pulleys, which were specially made to
order, and are the largest ever made in Can-
ada, came from the well-known Levis works
of Carrier, Laine & Company, while the pumps
were furnished by the Dean Pump Company,
of Holyoke, Mass.

The falls and rapids of the Chicoutimi river,
from which the mills derive their water power,
are 170 feet high and are capable of developing
15,000 horse power. The water is conducted
to the water wheels by two steel penstocks,
one 11% feet in diameter, and 200 feet long;
the other 13 feet in diameter and 800 feet long.

The Chicoutimi Pulp Company manufacture
an excellent grade of pulp, which is marketed
in foreign countries. Mr. S. Chas. Phillips,
editor of The Paper-Maker, a British paper
trade journal, says that the mills of the com-
pany are the best equipped in the. world.

CUSHING SULPHITE FIBRE COMPANY
VERSUS GEORGE S. CUSHING. -

At the Equity Court Chambers, St. John,N.B.,
on Tuesday, January 19, Judge Barker deliver-
ed judgment in the suit brought by the Cushing
Sulphite Company, Limited, against George
S. Cushing. The suit was heard during
August and September and the first part of -
October last. It arose out of the building and
operation of the pulp mill of the Cushing Sul-
phite Company, of which, the defendant was
until recently manager. The judgyment declares
that the plaintiff company wholly failed to sub-
stantiate any of the charges of fraud or wrong-
doing of any kind alleged in the bill of com-
plaint. In regard to the cost of the mill the
judgment is as follows :

“The mill and machinery seem to have cost consider-
ably more than the estimate mentioned in the prospec- _
tus and which was prepared by experts at that time—
one of them at least furnished an itemized statement of
probable cost which Captain Partington had seen and
examined before he consented to take stock in the
company and the accuracy of which it must have been
an easy matter for one of his experience to determine.
This question is only indirectly involved in this suit and
I should have thought it unnecessary to notice it except
for the fact that it appears by the correspondence in
evidence that Captain Partington was disposed to sad-
dle the sole responsibility of this unexpected outlay
upon the defendant. He should, however, not forget
that during the period which elapsed from the date of
the prospectus to the time when the mill was built labor
and materials had advanced very considerably in price.

In the case of the machinery I think Captain Par-
tiagton himself puts the advance as high as 50 per
cent. Nor should it be forgotten that the skilled work-
men whom Captain Partington especially selected and
sent out from England to superintend the construction
and placing of the machinery in some cases, managed

_ always contended that although the price at which he

matters so badly that the cost was materially incre
Of their inefficiency Captain Partington seems him
eventually to have been persuaded. {
The contention of the plaintiff company that [
Cushing should be held responsible for the value of t
hogss used for crushing the wood for fuel purposes and
for the value of the fuel building, estimated at $10,000, _ ‘
is denied.
Mr. Cushing’s contention that the wood was to be
allowed for pulp and fuel on the basis of its value, as
compared with round wood and coal, in which conten- —
tion Mr. Cushing is declared always to have been: con-
sistent, is allowed. “¢
In reference to the charge that Mr. Cushing had not
delivered the quantity of wood charged for the judg- .
ment declares :
I donot think the evidence sustains the conten
of the plaintiffs as to the quantity of wood deliver
It points to a different conclusion altogether. Invoic

%

is no evidence to support it.

Mr. Cushing is declared to have strictly adtecedla
tbe arrangements made by the company with Capta
Partington and to have a caretal in all cases

these instructions were disregarded by any one it bs
by those whom Captain Partington had himself ele
to represert him.
The following is a summary of the jndaamegeee a ’
Portions of the machinery sent out by Captain art. ¥
ington gave constant trouble and caused co:
If it was sought to throw the responsibility
losses of the company during the first ten months c
operation upon Mr. Cushing it was wisely abandon
because the evidence does not support that v We
That the defendant did not interfere with
Captain Partington’s experts is abundantly p
is a little remarkable that while the bis tif
charges the defendant with a great number an
of fraudulent and illegal dealings it contains no me
of the claim as to the fuel house. Neither wi
forward in any ot the discussions that have al
times taken place between the parties. ‘Mr.
cannot be charged with the expense incident thereto.
The use of the mill wood from the defendant's mill,
both for pulp and fuel, was in the contemplation of the
parties when the mill was built. The evidence gives ;
no support to the contention that the use of mill wood ;
was merely an experiment, not only that but made at tf
the defendant’s risk and the expense of which in case _
of failure was to fall on his shoulders. The use of «
wood for fuel was not a novelty-in this country, neith
was its use for the manufacture of ‘pulp still in an
perimental stage. It was being used, and is:
used, for both purposes profitably.

Mr. Beveridge, who differs from the other witnesses
in many respects, agrees that the fuel house and its
appliances, which he estimates to have cost $17,000, a £
were necessary. oe

Mr. Ellis who, according to the eilna was more
successful than any of the other managers sent soc
England by Captain Partington, in his efforts to Ret the —
mill in working order, said that in his opinion the =
system of conveyors could not be improved. —

”
”

xis
Mr. Cushing’s position on the question of | payment —
for the wood has been consistent throughout, for he has

invoiced the wood delivered to the Bolg mill w

ca

made for the purpose.

Captain Partington’s position a not eee a
ee
more than one occasion he did, so far as id coul
change the terms upon which he was willing to p:
the wood. The basis of computing the price ace
to the agreement should be according to its va
compared with round wood and coal. Mr.
contended this should’ be determined» by a pra
test but that cannot now be made.

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN 26

=.

from the two descriptions of wood and that the cost of
hauling and cleaning mill wood is greater than that of
round wood. It is obvious that the comparison is diffi-
cult, and the results can only be approximate. Stop-
pages seriously increase the cost of production. It is
well known that in the early life of a manufactory like
this mishaps occur. Such at all events was the case
with this mill. The digesters, screens and barkers
gave great trouble. It was suggested that these
stoppages were due to some extent to the use of mill
wood. It is due to Mr. Cushing for me to say that the
suggestions are not in any way supported by evidence.

Mr. Clark’s mill at Bangor, using slab wood, does a
profitable business and the difference in results at the
two mills is odd at first blush, The quality of the
wood used, in my opinion, has contributed to the result.
It does not pay to handle small wood, the waste is
too great.

From the invoices I have reduced the wood to
cords and comparing Mr. Cushing's estimate with Mr.
Clark’s at Bangor, have found the quantity of pulp
wood to have been 16,029 cords and the fuel wood
16,225 cords.

Taking into consideration all the circumstances and

relations that existed between the parties I think that
the defendant is only entitled to charge for the pulp
wood actually used by the mill at the rate of $1.90 per
cord and at 99 cents per cord for fuel, allowing in ad-
dition the cost of hauling and piling. The wood taken
by the plaintiff company from the field after defendant
agreed to take it back must be paid for at defendant's
price as piled.

The defendant’s claim will therefore be $49,958.38
and the credit of amounts paid in cash and laths
$52,291.30, leaving a balance due by defendant to
plaintiff of $2,432.92. The 1,600 cords of wood left and
which defendant has agreed to take back invoiced at,
$2,400, be declared to be the property of the defendant.*

As to costs the judgment denies the plaintiff com-
pany any costs and decrees that the company shall pay
to Mr. Cushing the costs of so much of the proceedings
as the Lord Chancellor appointed in the case of
Parker vs. McKee, wherein he said : ‘‘There is, how-
ever, on the other side a general principle as to the
costs of the suit. It is in case a person has made
himself liable to proceedings in equity or proceedings
at law that the adverse litigant is entitled to make the
court the place and the proceedings of the court the

means by which personal spite or party hostility is
enabled to indulge itself in unfounded aspersions upon
character. In my opinion that has been done here.
Unfounded aspersions have been wantonly and reck-
lessly made and the consequence of that is that this
court is obliged to give effect to what is so often said
it would do—make persons so dealing with the pro-
ceedings of this court pay and-pay full in costs for it.”

The Montreal River Pulp & Paper Company, largely
composed of Toronto capitalists, has been granted an
extension of time for the completion of its works by the
Ontario Government. The agreement with the com-
pany was entered into by the Government on March 3,
1902, and called for the expenditure of $100,000 within
eighteen months of that date ; of an additional $200,-
000 within two years and another $200,000 within three
years of that date. The mills are to be erected on the
Montreal river or on the Ottawa river above the town
of Pembroke. The incorporators of the company in-

TREATMENT OF BAND RESAWS.

Band resaws, says a writer in the Mechanic,
require essentially the same treatment as band
saws. They must be strained most near the
toothed edge. Teeth must be of a length, with
full swaging, evenly balanced or side-dressed, to
cut a line.

Modern band resaw mills are now made with
iron wheels perfectly balanced and true, with
the face made approximately flat or slightly con-
vex, so that the tension of the saw may be
readily adjusted to suit the face of the wheels.
This condition met, it is requisite that the face

any adherence of sawdust, gum, pitch or dust,
if allowed to accumulate near the base of the
tooth will-almost certainly change the strain
of the saw on the mill to an extent that will
cause a fracture.

Filers are agreed that the back of the saw
should show slightly convex, the amount de-
pending somewhat on the form of the wheels
and whether the cross line is used. A convex-

ity of 1-64 of an inch in 5 feet-is considered

good for band -resaws. ©

The proper tensioning and fitting of resaws is
a moré delicate process than the similar fitting
of band saws, for the resaw is not .only much

or

Ae
narrower, but also of much lighter gauge. ‘«
Thus, while the tension of a 12-inch band saw, —
14-gauge, may be putinso that the main strain
comes not nearer than 1% to 2 inches to the
points of the teeth, the strain and stiffness of —
the wide blade serves to support and steady the
teeth so that they run practically true. But
in the band resaw from 4 to 6 inches wide,
and from 18 to 22 gauge, you must
depend entirely upon the up and down
strain supporting the cutting edge, and must,

therefore, tension the saw almost from edgeto

edge. It is well to make use of a small tension
gauge which can be furnished to suit usual
conditions, or can be reshaped for special
work, if desired. ce

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN

This machine carries four 12 inch saws,
and is fitted throughout for continuous, fast
work. The frame is a solid iron casting with
long bearings for saw arbor cast in place. So
it is impossible for the arbor ever to get out of
line. The drive pulley on arbor is 8 inch dia.,
9 in. face, turned inside and out and firmly
balanced.

This machine in connection with the Lath
Bolter—its companion—is capable of turning out

an immense amount of work every day, probably
more than any other machine in the market at

PROMINENT BRITISH COLUMBIA LUMBERMEN.

Mr. J. G. Scort.
Among the lumbermen of British Columbia
who have risen by patient industry and by the
exercise of considerable ability is Mr. J. G.

~ Scott, manager of the Pacific Coast Lumber

Company, of Vancouver, whose portrait
accompanies this article. Mr. Scott has been
twelve years in the province, and during that
time has seen the trade with Eastern Canada
and the middle West grow from noth-
ing into great proportions, while he
himself is now manager of a mill which
is acknowledged even by compeitiors to

plant of any in British Columbia, Wash-
ington or Oregon.

Mr. Scott is an Ontario boy, like
many Others in the west. He was
born at Stratford, and was early con-
nected with the lumber industry. He

Company, which had large limits in
Simcoe County, and with his brother,

Ontario, secured full interest in this

name of Scott, Scott & Company.
When, in about eight years, the limits
owned by this company were worked

This was in 1891, and
with Mr. George McCormick, M. P.
for Muskoka and Parry Sound, and
Mr. William Irwin, of Peterboro, he

pany in New Westminster, on the

run ina quiet way, with the ultimate
intention of building up an industry
of large proportions, and in the present
large mills this ambition has been realized.

During his residence in New Westminster,
known as the Royal City, Mr. Scott took an
active interest in municipal affairs and for three
years was a member of the city council, the
first of which he served his fellow citizens as
chairman of the Board of Finance. In 1900
and 1901 he was Mayor, and in the latter year
took up his residence in Vancouver. Mr.
Scott with other representative citizens of New
Westminster were actively interested in the
management of the great exhibition of the west,
held yearly at New Westminster by the Royal
City Agricultural and Industrial Association.
He escaped the conflagration of 1898, which
practically destroyed New Westminster, but

in 1gor the mills were completely razed by fire.
_ Then he removed to Vancouver.

The mills in Vancover are located on Coal
Harbor, the western extremity of Burrard
inlet, and within a stone’s throw of Deadman’;
island, the place where in 1898 Theodore
Ludgate made such a strong effort to establish
a saw mill. There was opposition to the
Pacific Coast Lumber Company securing a site
on this part of the harbor foreshore, but with

the usual discretion and management which —

has characterized his work, Mr. Scott had
firmly entrenched himself by securing before-

Mr. J. G. Scott,

Manager of the Pacific Coast Lumber Company, Vancouver, B. (es

hand a proper right and title from the govern-
ment. Mr. W. J. Sheppard, of Waubaushene,
Ontario, president of the Georgian Bay Lumber
Company, is president of the company, and
there are a large number of other shareholders
resident in Ontario. Mr. McCormick and Mr.
Irwin are still interested with him. There has
been an expenditure of over half a_ million
dollars on the establishment since its inaugur-
ation about three years ago, and to-day it is
the best laid out, the neatest, and most adapt-
ed for economical manufacture of any mill on
the coast. It has a capacity of 150,000 feet of
lumber, 300,000 shingles, and a planing mill
with a capacity of 75,000 feet per day of ten
hours.

Mr. Scott had a difficult and long uphill
fight.in the early days of his connection with the

industry in this province in seeking to establish
a market for the British Coluinbia product in
the east. He shipped the first carload of red
cedar shingles to Ontario in 1892, and there
are still those in Toronto and other cities who
will remember telling him that he was not exact-
ly right in his head to think of such a pre-
posterous thing as endeavoring to create a
market at such a remote distance. Everything
was an experiment then, but Mr. Scott, with
the keen foresight of the successful business
man, predicted -that the time would
come when British Columbia shingles
would be in demand in Ontario, and
in a decade he has seen this prophecy
verified. To-day red cedar shingles
are used in Ontario very largely. The
development, however, was slow, and
the trade unremunerative.

overcomeable by persistency and the
production of an article which is not
surpassed in the world to-day. Pos-
sessed with executive ability of no
mean calibre, Mr. Scott has made a
success of the business from the start.

Since Mr. Scott transterred his busi-
ness interests to Vancouver, he has be-
come one of the leading citizens of that
city. He is not an active politician,
is a strong Presbyterian and is Chair-
man of the Board of Managers of St.
John’s church, having
been one of those connected with the
establishment of this place of worship,
which has just closed a veey successful first
year. He is one of the three trustees in whom
is vested the ownership of the property. Mr.
Scott married in 1887 Miss Eliza Stewart, of
Guelph, Ontario. He is a prominent member
of the Masonic fraternity, and is past master
of Union lodge No. 9, New Westminster, one
ot the earliest established lodges in the
province.

LOG PRODUCTION CURTAILED

Reduced Output in Ontario and Quebec Owing to Deep Snow and Generally Unfavor-

able Logging Conditions.—The Pr

oduction in Other Provinces About

Same as Last Winter.

In view of the widespread interest which is
shown this spring concerning the quantity of
logs which will be available for the season’s
sawing, the publishers of the CANADA LUMBER-
MAN addressed a letter of inquiry to a number
of operators askiig whether their production
of logs would be greater or less than last win-
ter, and to what extent. The replies, which
are printed below, show that on the whole the
winter has been unfavorable for work in the
woods, and that in Ontario, owing partly
to the deep snow, the cut was exceptionaly
light.

PLAYFAIR & WHITE, Midland, Ont. : Our cut of logs
this winter will be from 10 to 15 per cent. less than a
yearago. Ifthe cost of production, caused by deep
snow, cold weather and poor ice in the lakes, together
with poorer class of men for our work, is any criterion,
the price of lumber should surely advance the coming
season. As far as we can learn the log production in
the Georgian Bay district will be fully zo per cent.
less than a year ago.

G. H. PERLEY & Co., Ottawa, Ont: We expect
to make between five and ten per cent. less logs
than we did last season. We had a very fine tall
for making logs, but all work during this winter has
been expensive and slow. There is no frost in the
swamps and in most places the ice on the lakes
is bad. It is possible that we may have an old-fashion-
ed March in this locality, and in that case the lumber-
men would be able to go on making logs in some
sections of the country. On the whole, there seems no
doubt that the quantity of logs taken out this winter
must be very much less than it was last year.

SHEPARD & MorsSE LUMBER Co., Ont.

Ottawa,

We expect to make about 15 million of logs at our °

Kippewa shanties this year, as against about 11

million last year. We may say that this winter has

-been unusually satisfactory for logging in the Kippewa

district, the snow not being over 2 or 234 feet, with
fine, steady weather. Usually this district is noted for
its heavy snow falls, but it seems to have been favored
this year with a light fall.

PEMBROKE LUMBER Co., Pembroke, Ont.: Our bush
operations are progressing very favorably and our
hauling is about completed. We have experienced
very deep snow, but otherwise a good winter. Our
cut of logs this year will be about twice that of any
former year. The advanced cost of taking out logs
this year is owing to the labor maket principally.

Gitmour & Hucuson, Hull, Que.: Last August,
owing to threatened depression, the scarcity of and
difficulty of obtaining good labor, we gave instructions
to curtail our output by 20 per cent. At the present
time the snow is so deep that we have found it advis-
able to stop all log making, which will have a further
tendency to reduce our cut for this winter.

Burks Falls,
.: We submit the following information regarding

THE KNIGHT BROTHERS COMPANY,

Hemlock and other softwood logs, 1902-3 1,725,312 ft.

Birch and other hardwood logs re 782,367 ft.

Hemlock and other softwood logs, 1903-4 1,742,582 ft.

We find the cost of logging this season has been
rather higher than last owing to the excessive snow-

_ fall; wages are very high and many workmen in-
_efficient.
and there may be a small proportion left in the woods.

Our stock is not all delivered at the dumps,

* 5 = bs

7 M ee rae ae

Tue CLEVELAND-SARNIA SAW MILLs Co., Sarnia,
Ont.: Our cut of logs will be practically the same this
year as it was last year. We expect, however, to get
out about one and one-half to two million feet more
than last year.

THE SNIDER LuMBER Co., Gravenhurst, Ont.: Our
stock of logs for this season’s cut is about seven

million feet of hemlock, which is about one and one- —

half million feet less than we expected to get out.
Quite a quantity of logs are being left on skids, it being
impossible to get roads to the skidways in order to
haul them. Logs that were got to water are costing at
least $1.50 per M. more than they would have cost
had the winter been more favorable.

AN OTTAWA VALLEY MANUFACTURER: We think the
log output will be smaller than usual, as owing to high
wages last fall it was late before men were all at work,
and in our case we did not put in as many, only figur-
ing on keeping our own teams busy and not having any
hired teams hauling. The snow has also been deep
and hauling slow and expensive.

ONTARIO LUMBER COMPANY, Toronto, Ont.: Our out-
put of logs this winter will be less than half of last
years output; we had seven large shanties in the
woods last winter (a year ago), and this winter we
have only three. The conditions which tended to
shorten the output were, in the first place, scarcity of
men, which continued until the arrival of the snow, at
which time we had to quit cutting logs owing to its
great depth. The scarcity of men and the snow pro-
position have increased the cost of our cut at least 30
per cent. When the snow came there was no frost in
the ground, and the consequence will be that when we
have a break-up it will be very sudden because of the
heat in the ground, which will melt the snow from the
bottom; and we fear, in consequence of this, that we
will have low water in the spring for driving creeks, as
you are aware that when there is a heavy frost in the
ground before the snow comes it holds the water and
it runs off gradually. -This year we expect a tre-
mendous rush all of a sudden and consequently a short
time for driving creeks.

J. D. SHIER LUMBER Co., Bracebridge, Ont.: We
will have about as much hemlock this coming year as
we had in 1903, but we do not think that this is the
case with most of the lumbermen. The only way that
we got out our usual stock was by starting in very
early in the fall, and any of those lumbermen who left
it until after the first snow came will not get out more
than about 50 per cent. of their usual stock; we think
that there will be quite a serious shortage in hemlock
this coming year. In reference to pine, we expect to
have 2,000,000 feet more than we had last year. There
is going to be a very short crop of hardwoods this year
owing to the depth of snow, and what has been taken
out has passed out of first hands in nearly every case.
Our representative has been north from here sizing up
the situation, and he found that these stocks are
pretty well bought up and by parties who can afford to
hold out for a fair price. It is our opinion that hard-
woods will advance from $2.00 to $3.00 per M. over
last year’s prices. We do not anticipate any shrinkage
in the price of pine either; in fact,
learned we think there will be an advance of from 10 to
15 per cent. all round.

Tue HuNTSVILLE SynDIcATE, Huntsville, Ont.: We
have not had exact figures in yet, but all our camp
managers report a shcrtage from last year’s cut owing
to the deep snow and severe weather. We estimate
the season’s cut of hardwood in this district and north
as far as North Bay to be not more than two-thirds of
the quantity taken out last year. This shortage,
together with the extra cost of getting out logs (owing
to unfavorable weather) will result in a considerable
advance in the prices of lumber.

we will have available tor sawing about 20,000,000 _
feet. In addition to pine logs we are also getting out
tamarac and jack pine to make 300,000 ties and will | %
erect a mill this spring to saw ties exclusively. a.

J. D. Irvine, Buctouche, N.B.: The cut of lumber —
for shipment from this port for next season will be from
one to one and one-half million feet less than last L
winter. The very severe weather all through the a
season has seriously interfered with all operations. wl

T. Crockett, Riviere-du-Loup Station, Que.: The —
production of logs from my own operations this winter —
will be in the vicinity of five million feet of spruce and
cedar, compared with two million feet last year.
production in general, however, in this locality wi
as near as I can ascertain about 25 per cent. in e
of last year. The conditions peculiar to this wint
operations have been most favorable as far as wea
and snow are concerned. Wages and supplie

with very little change in the market. The la
this winter with the amount of logs held
streams last season, with favorable driving cond
this spring, will have a tendency to put an
quantity of logs on the market. ‘

_ LOVELAND & Stong, Cutler, Ont.: As fo

timber that will be brought through the Ss

HOO-HOO NIGHT IN WINNIPEG.

A concatenation of the illustrious order of
Hoo-Hoos was held in Winnipeg on Saturday
evening, February. 13th.

The gathering was a howling success, there
being a large attendance and no less thao
twenty-two initiations. The Snark of the Uni-
verse, G.B.Housser, of Portage la Prairie, pre-
sided, and maintained proper feline decorum.
He was ably assisted in his task by Messrs. D.
B. Sprague and J. C. Graham, ex-vicegerent,
both experienced hustlers. The notice sum-
moning the roof-top conclave read as follows:

“Dear Brother Hoo-Hoo: The fifth annual

"meeting of the Concatenated Order of Hoo-

t.

Psi

Hoo will be held in Eureka hall, Main and

A

Notre Dame streets east, Winnipeg, on Sat-
urday, February 13, 1904, at 8 o’clock. Fail not
to be present and assist in conferring higher de-
grees upon newly born kittens from the onion
bed, and watch the singeing of the fur while
the old cats purr; as the buffalo roams around,
the shadows of night will be turned into day
in old Winnipeg town, and things will be done
up brown. Good Hoo-Hoos cannot afford to
stay away. |
“The Hoo-Hoo while in Winnipeg will show
the town that they are not slow. The Black
Cat will be in evidence, both on the roof and
on the ground, wearing the symbol of the
jumping Black Cat of the Egyptian heights in
their button-holes. They'll give the good old
Hoo-Hoo yell. They’re sure totake in every
sight, by day and by electric light: (There are
“numerous sights to see). This night Hoo-
Hoo will own the town of Winnipeg of great
renown. ;
“Here’s hoping you'll have lots of fun.

reception of the kittens, a fact which each of
them fully realized before he got through.

When all the Tommies, and they were a gay
lot, had foregathered in their accustomed
corners and had purred themselves into a state
of happy contentment, they proceeded to elect
officers for the concatenation then being held,
with the following result:

Snark of the Universe, G. B. Housser, Port-

Custocatian, D. B. Sprague, Winnipeg.
Arcanoper, Jas. A. Ovas, Winnipeg.
Gurdon, D. J. McDonald, Port Arthur.

The Supreme Nine having been chosen, the
kittens, one of the best classes yet presented
for initiation to the riotous mysteries of the
roof-top and garden, were admitted one by
one to the sacred garden where they took the

obligation, tested the human flesh, pressed
their lips to the seal of the Black Cat and had
their eyes opened, and thus became privileged
to enjoy all the fun and benefits of a Hoo-Hoo
roof-top. The old Tommies were delighted to
receive in their midst so many promising kit-
tens, and were not backward in manifesting
their pleasure.
The candidates were: R. J. Smith, G. N.

Chas. W. Owen, Imperial Elevator Company ;
Oliver K. Godfrey, Canadian Elevator Com-
pany; W. J. Hunter, G. T. Ry.; G. H. Wall,

able and profitable, all the Hoo-Hoos, old and
young, sat down to a delicate spread provided
by Mrs. Hample.

A NEW EDGER.

In the general equipment of a saw mill, certain
machines have become almost standard in their con-
struction, and the manufacturers show tittle desire to
depart from general lines. This is particularly true of
edgers, trimmers and the like. Occasionally a manu-
facturer introduces some changes, but as a usual thing
they are unimportant. This being the case, it isa
hard proposition for a manufacturer to produce a new
machine, say an edger, which shall have enough
points of superiority to recommend it to the user and
still compete with standard machines. William E.
Hill & Company, of Kalamazoo, Michigan, believe
that they have accomplished this, however, in the
machine that illustrates this article, and claim that they
have produced a first-class edger which they can sell at
a moderate price and one which has many points of
superiority over those of other manufacturers.

The machines are very heavy and are built in two
widths, 45” and 48’, with either three saws or four saws

as desired. The main frames of the machine are so
designed that the great weight is distributed so as to
give the greatest strength. The cross girts and pres-
sure roll frames are so strong that it is impossible to
break them. The arbor is of heavy forged steel 3”
diameter and has balanced driving pulley. The saws
are shifted by hand levers of peculiar design, which
move very easily and which can be set to cut any width.
The board guide is positive in its action and can al-
ways be depended on. There is one 4” feed roller in
front of saw and two behind. These are milled from
solid bar, not cast.

This will give the reader an idea of the careful
attention to detail which is so noticeable in studying
the construction of this machine. The front pressure
rollers are 4 in. in diameter; the rear pressure rollers
are 8in. The widest board that can be edged ona 45-
in. 4-saw machine is 28 in.; on 48 in., 31 in.; 18 in. and
20 in. saws are used. Width over all, 45 in. machine,
7 ft. 3% in.; width over all, 48 in. machine, 7 ft. 6% in.;

If any of our readers are in the market for an edger,
we would suggest that they write William E. Hill &
Company, 415 North Rose street, Kalamazoo, Michi-
gan, for blue prints and prices and a copy of their aew

ADVERTISING RATES ON APPLICATION.

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN is published in the interests of the
lumber, wood-working and allied industries, being the only
representative in Canada of these important interests. It aims
at giving full and timely information on all subjects touching
these nterests, and invites free discussion by its readers.

Especial pains are taken to secure for publication in the
WEEKLY LUMBERMAN the latest and most trustworthy market
quotations throughout the world, so as to afford to the trade at
home and abroad information on which it can rely in its
operations. Subscribers will find the small amount they pay
for the CANADA LUMBERMAN quite insignificant as compared
with its value tothem. There is not an individual in the trade,
or specially interested in it, who should not be on our list, thus
obtaining the present benefit and aiding and encouraging us to
render it even more complete.

Advertisers will receive careful attention and liberal treat-
ment. For manufacturing and supply firms wishing to bring
their goods to the attention of owners and operators of saw
and planing mills, wood-working factories, pulp mills, ete.
the CANADA LUMBERMAN is undoubtedly the cheapest an
most profitable advertising medium. Special attention is
directed to “WANTED” and ‘“* For SALE” advertisements, which
are inserted in a conspicuous position on front page of the
Weekly Edition.

THE WESTERN LUMBER SITUATION.

A wise move has been taken by the various
Canadian icterests which combine to furnish
the lumber supply of the West. One month
ago there were threats of new competition,
such threats being based, as later events show,
on an erroneous conception of the profits to be

derived from the manufacture of lumber. These ©

interests have come together and discussed the
situation in a friendly spirit, with the result, as
usually happens, of arriving at a much better
understanding of the real conditions.

A conference of the British Columbia lumber
manufacturers and the retail dealers was held
in Winnipeg early in February, at whicha
committee was appointed to interview Mr.
Whyte, vice-president of the Canadian Pacific
Railway, on the question of freight rates. The
manufacturers agreedto make a reduction of
$1 per thousand feet in the price of lumber if
the C.P.R. would give a reduction of two cents
in the freight rate, making the rate from the
Coast thirty-eight cents instead of forty cents
per hundred-weight. Mr. Whyte expressed
himself favorably on the matter, and will, it is
thought, recommend to his company that the
concession be granted. The manufacturers
‘will thus receive for their lumber within 50
cents of what they have received in the past,
the reduction in freight representing the other
50 cents which goes to make up the dollar re-
duction. Although no announcement is made,
it may be presumed that the retailer’s margin
of profit will remain the same and that the con-
sumer will be given the benefit of the reduced

.

price.
The advantage of the above arrangement is

that it will tend to lessen the quantity of lum-

ber imported from the United States and give

increased business to the Canadian mills and
in turn tothe C.P.R. This increased business
is expected to offset the reductions made.

Any plan calculated to reserve the Canadian
market for the Canadian manufacturer cannot
be too strongly commended, particularly in
view of the indifference of the Dominion
Government towards affording a reasonable
measure of protection for the lumber industry.
The justice of the protection asked for is ad-
mitted even by the Mississipi Valley Lumber-
man, which in a recent issue remarks: ‘‘Con-
sidering the tariff on Canadian lumber that
comes across the line into the States, the
Canadian manufacturers are hardly to be
blamed for taking steps to protect their home
markets.”

THE ONTARIO TIMBER SUPPLY.

A number of statements were made
by Hon. E. J. Davis, Commissioner of
Crown Lands, in his speech in the budget de-
bate in the Ontario Legislature recently, which
are important to lumbermen as well as to the
people generally. Alow estimate, Mr. Davis said,
showed that there were still ten billion feet of
good white pine standing on the Crown lands
of the province, sufficient to permit twenty
such sales as were held on December gth last.
He placed the value of this timber at $75,000, -
000, and the dues at the rate of two dollars
per thousand feet would amount. to $20,000,-
ooo. Basing a calculation on Mr. Davis’ figures,
it would appear that there are 500,000,000
feet of pine timber on the area disposed of at
the last sale, and as approximately $3,687,000
was realized for these lands, the bonus price
was an average of a little over $7 per thousand
feet for the timber on the stump. To this
must be added $2 per thousand stumpage
dues, also ground rent, making the cost of the
standing timber to the purchaser above $9 per
thousand feet. It has until recently been con-
sidered that $6 per thousand feet was a fair
price for timber on the stump, but apparently
there is no limit to the value of white pine.

While, as Mr. Davis admits, the estimate ot
the white pine still in the hands of the Crown
is somewhat approximate, it is contended to be
sufficiently accurate to prove that there is still
a very large quantity standing in the province.
But as the demand upon the white pine supply
is gradually increasing,it is pertinent to inquire
how long at the present rate of consumption the
supply wiil last. This question cannot be an-
swered with any degree of certainty, but it may
be interesting to make one or two deductions
based on the figures of the: past. The report
of the Commissioner of Crown Lands shows
that during the year 1902 the cut of pine timber
on the Crown lands was about 700,000,000
feet. Taking this estimate as the average cut
for future years, the timber on unlicensed
lands would last for a period of nearly fifteen
years. Assuming, for the purpose of calcula-
tion, that the timber onlicensedlands would sup
ply the requirements for fifteen years,we have
a sufficient quantity of pine in sight to meet
the demand for the next thirty years ifno steps
were taken towards reforestation and with-
out considering reproduction. We must,
however, in this thirty years take such steps

by nt .

as will provide a supply of white pine for
time to come. ; aeoey
The announcement by the Commissioner ot :
the establishment of another forest reserve, of —
no less than three thousand square miles, was — By
naturally very favorably received. The total
area of forest land set apart under the Forest
Reserve Act is now about 9,000 square miles,
certainly a very substantial beginning. This
territory is covered by virgin pine, and the
Commissioner announced that itis proposed to
adopt new regulations governing the disposal
of the timber on these reserves. This is in
line with the recommendation of the Forestry
Commission, which advised that the various

should be considered with the view of adopting —
such special treatment in each case as its
peculiar features demand in order to realize the :

the general proposition being to have cut Mes
such timber as is designated by the Crown’s bi, 2
timber experts, and also that this timber shall
be cut and cared for in such a way asto reduce
the risk of fire to a minimum and give the un-
developed timber an opportunity to develop. __
It is probable that after the trees are selected 5
they will be offered by public auction as is now a
done with timber areas. The Commissioner —
points out that these regulations will apply
only to forest reserves and that the regulations
are entirely different from those under which
licenses to cut timber have been sold by public
auction in the past. ae
Another recommendation of the Forestry
Commission is to be adopted, viz.,the reforest-
ation of areas which have been sold under li-
cense but have been abandoned by the licen-
sees and are unsuitable for agricultural pur-
poses. In this connection it should be borne
in mind that the 826 square miles disposed of
in December last will revert to the Crown after
a period of fifteen years and will be availble for
any system of reforestry which the government

may choose to apply. ; <

QUEBEC COLONIZATION COMMISSION.
The Quebec Colonization Commission, ap-
pointed by Order-in-Council for the purpose of ©
investigating the relations existing between the -
lumber companies and the settlers, have held —
several sessions recently. The Commissionhas
for its object the settling of disputes and con-—
sideration of the best means of protecting the
forests from the ravages of fire. The evidence svar
submitted showed that there have been many ae
bogus settlers and that it is with this class” of Pe
settlers that the lumbermen have had disputes. — ae
Mr. Alex. Lumsden said he knew of onlyone
case of dispute with a bona fide settler. The
feeling of lumbermen is that squatting should —
be made prohibitive, and the government a
officials authorized to carry out the regulations. —
They think that there should be a more careful
inspection of the areas open to colonization and —
a rigid adherence to the settlers’ laws. — The es
Commission have earnestly taken the matter in
hand and it is expected that the recommenda- __
tions which will be made to the government __
will be of considerable benefit to the lumber ©
industry and result in more harmonious rela-
tions between lumbermen and settlers. —

_ ONTARIO’S FOREST RESERVES. —
‘In June, 1897,at the instance of Mr. Thomas
~~ Southworth, Director of Forestry for Ontario,
-a Royal Commission was appointed by the

_ Legislature to investigate and report on the
subject of restoring and preserving the growth
of white pine and other trees upon lands in the
province which are not adapted for agricultur-

al purposes or for settlement. Upon the re-
commendation of this Commission the Legis-
lature in the spring of 1898 adopted the Forest
Reserves Act, empowering the Liutenant-

The first important reserve created was the
reserve, comprising about 2,200

Lake Temagimi. Unlike the previously con-
stituted reserves,this area had never been under
license. It contains an extensive tract of
white pine,the quantity standing being estimat-
ed above 3,000,000,000 feet board measure.
This reserve was set apart on January 11th,
1901, and a few months ago it was extended
northward and westward until its total area is
now 5,900 square milles.

yet been granted comprise 8,900 square miles,
and the careful husbanding of the immense
quantity of timber on this vast territory will do
much towards perpetuating the supply of white
pine.

In referring to forest reserves mention
should also he made of the Algonquin Nation-
al Park, which includes upwards of 1700 square
miles, the greater part of which was withdrawn
from settlement and created a park or reserve
by a special act of the Legislature in 1893.
The territory has all been placed under license,

The announcement of the establishment of
another large reserve has just been made. It is
situated in the Algoma district and embraces
3,000 square miles. As in the case of
the Temagimi reserve, none of the territory
included in it has been placed under license.

In connection with the management of the
two latter reserves, it is the intention of the
government to adopt a new policy in respect to
the cutting of timber. Instead of granting
licenses for the privilege of cutting the timber
on a given area, only the trees which are ma-

marked by government experts.

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

The month of March is not usually a
busy time for the lumber trade, and the
present month promises to be no excep-
tion. The difficulty in making shipments
has caused consumers to refrain from
placing orders, and there is little promise
of any improvement in that respect during
the present month, as much freight is now
standing on railway sidings waiting to be
moved at first opportunity. Nevertheless,
there has been during the past week an
increased number of inquiries for lumber
for spring delivery and the outlook for
business is regarded as favorable. As
spring approaches buyers show a greater
Cisposition to anticipate their require-
ments, while manufacturers are also
acquiring more confidence. Later on it
will likely be found comparatively easy
to effect sales. There is some business
doing in the cities, but country trade is
still backward. A comparison of price
lists recently issued with those of one
month ago show very little change. For
inch box and common, 10 to 12 inches wide,
from $18 to $19 is asked at the mills. The
average price of pine mill culls is about
$11. The tone of the hardwood market is
very firm, influenced by the expected
shortage in the production of logs. Some
manufacturers are asking $19 for mill run
birch, which is probably the strongest of
all hardwood stock at the present time.
Elm and maple are also regarded as
splendid property. Shingles and lath are
experiencing a period of quietude and
there is not sufficient demand to cause
prices to fluctuate. XXXX cedar shingles
have been sold recently at $2.60 at the
mill.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Eastern mamufacturers report an in-
crease in the number of inquiries for spruce
lumber for shipment to New York and the
New England States, but otherwise the
sfiuation is unchanged. The outlook at
the present time is uncertain, and it is

probable that the quantity of stock shipped
to Great Britain will this year show a falling
off. So far the buying has been very light.
Manufacturers are making a strong effort
to maintain prices and are watching the
course of events in Europe with more than
usual interest. Work in the woods is
drawing to a close. Some operators were
compelled to suspend operations earlier
than usual owing to recent rains.

For the best brands of cedar shingles
$3.40 is being paid for Boston delivery.
There is not much snap to the demand,
however, while offerings are fairly large.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA.

During the months of January and
February the Building Inspector of Winni-
peg issued permits for buildings valued at
$145,300, as against $42,150 for the cor-
responding two months of last year.
There is every indication that building
operations in Winnipeg this year will be
in excess of 1903, when over $5,000,000
was spent. There promises to be con-
siderable activity also in the smaller
municipalities in Manitoba and the Terri-
tories, and a brisk demand for lumber is
anticipated in the spring. Dealers have
as yet bought very sparingly, as the ne-
gotiations looking to a reduction in the
price of lumber has caused them to with-
hold all orders. The lumber trade of
British Columbia is rather unsettled. The
sawing capacity is now so great that if
the outlook should appear at all promising
there would likely be a very large pro-
duction. This fact is being recognized
by the older manufacturers, who are pur-
suing a conservative course and will
likely curtail their production.

UNITED STATES.

The lumber business of the United
States is rather spotty ; some sections re-

port nothing doing, others that the de-

mand has improved perceptibly. Through-
out the Southwestern States spring con-
ditions have prevailed and there has been
a revival of the: demand for lumber. In
the northern pine territory the season has
been backward and the movement of
lumber so far this spring very light. Some
improvement in the demand is reported,
and it would only require a week or two
of favorable weather to start building
operations and induce a pronounced re-
vival in the demand. Dealers at Buffalo
and Tonawanda have a fair stock of lum-
ber on hand, and it is only fair to say
that there is not exhibited as much eager-
ness to make contracts as was noted a
year ago. Eastern spruce is in an excep-
tionally strong position. Stocks are
scarce and the demand is more than
equal to the absorption of the ready
supply. Frames are quoted in Boston at
$19 to $21 a thousand.

During the past fortnight there has
been an advance in hemlock in New
York ; 2x4 in 18 and 20 foot has been ad-
vanced 50 cents, making the price on this
item now $2 above the $17 base,as against
$1.50 the year before. Hardwood stock
for future delivery is in good inquiry.
Plain and quartered oak is moving in the
greatest volume and prices are very

firm.
GREAT BRITAIN.

Reports from Great Britain regarding
the condition of the lumber trade area
little more encouraging in character. The
consumption is behind that of last year
and agents of shippers have not been

WEEKLY EDITION

altogether successful in closing contracts,
yet the feeling as to the future is more
hopeful. The weather is now more favor-
able for building operations and this is ex-
pected to help the situation materially.
Much has been made of the fact that the
quantity of Canadian lumber contracted
for has been smaller than one year ago,
but upon close investigation it has been
found that considerable business has been
booked in the better qualities of pine and
spruce and that prices in most instances
have been slightly better than those
obtained for the 1903 production. Third
and fourth quality pine has been difficult
to place, but the better grades are still
regarded favorably even at the high prices
which are now asked. In spruce some busi-
ness has also been done, the highest price
realized, so far as can be learned, being
£9 per standard of 1980 feet c i.f. for good
thirds from Quebec.

In the ‘spot’ market there has been a
distinct improvement. At the last auction
sale held by Messrs. Churchill & Sim in
London 3x11 first quality pine, 14 to 16
feet, brought £32 10s per standard. First
quality red pine brought £16 1os. For
third quality spruce £9 5s. was realized.
A report from London states that agents
are gradually clearing out their second
quality 3x9in. spruce deals at £10 10s,
thirds at £9 15s, and fourths at £8 15s,
whilst the importers have been busy
selling their stocks at prices slightly in
advance of the foregoing figures.

STOCKS AND PRICES.

The City of London, Ont., is asking for
tenders up to 17th inst. for supply of lum-
ber.

The Red Deer Lumber Company, of
Red Deer, N. W. T., expect to cut about
35,000,000 feet of lumber this season.

Tenders are invited up to March 35th
for supply of cedar and plank required by
the Board of Works of the city ot Ottawa.

The Crow’s Nest Pass Lumber Com-
pany, of Wardner, B. C., expect to cut
about 25,000,000 feet of lumber this year.

W. D. Baillairge, Assistant City En-
gineer of Quebec, will receive tenders up
to March 23rd for annual supply of deals,
etc. =

Dexter Conner, of Welsford, N. B.,
has taken out 3,000,000 feet of logs this
winter, which will be sawn by rotary
mills.

C. Jackson, of Paradise, N. S., is oper-
ating in the woods for Pickles & Mills, of
Annapolis. He has four camps, which
are getting out 80,000 feet of logs per
day.

H. Elderkin & Co., of Port Greville,
N. S., expect to cut aad ship this season
about 1,000,000 feet of spruce and hard-
wood and 20,000 pieces of spruce piling,
spars and poles.

The Corporation ef the City of Kings-
ton desires tenders by noon otf March 1oth
for supply of 150,000 feet of 3, 2, and 1%

inch pine plank and 30,000 lineal feet of 1
5x4 inch cedar sleepers.

W. Margach, Crown Timber Agent,
Rat Portage, Ont., states that the pro-
duction of logs in the Lake of the Woods
district the past winter has been larger |
than the previous season. There will be
about 100,000,000 feet for the Rat Portage
and Keewatin mills and 90,000,000 feet
for the Rainy River mills.

Despite the tremendous cut during
past years, lumber operations around
Williamsport, Pa., writes a correspondent
of the CANADA LUMBERMAN, are still of
considerable importance. In 1902 the
total shipments trom this district amount-
ed to 162,990,000 feet of lumber in the
rough, while in 1903 they were estimated
at 149,094,000 feet, showing a decrease
of 13,896,000 feet on the record of rgoz.

The feature of the hardwood trade in
general, says the American Lumberman,
is the light supply of dry stocks and of
common and culls of all woods. The con-
sumption bas been large, and as they have
been used to a greater extent owing to the
high prices for the better grades they have
been used up closer than ever. This has
never happened before and is a situation
that makes the largest users stop and
think as to what they will do for further
supplies. The greatest scarcity is notice-.
able in plain oak of all kinds, and the firm-
ness with which it is held. Buyers who
have been after dry stock of all woods
find it difficult to get in suitable lots. This
applies to all woods and makes holders
firm in their views of prices.

“March , 1904

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
(Correspondence of the CANADA L,UMBERMAN.)
As has been hinted from time to time in
these columns, the present year is not
likely to'witness any}decline in the price of
manufactured white pine sent out of
the Ottawa district mills. An authority
on the subject said to-day that very little
white pine*of the 1904 mill cut still re-
mained in first hands. Practically all of it
is in second hands and at a ten per cent.
advance at that. Nor is the advance in
the market confined to pine. Spruce, an-
other fair factor in Ottawa district lumber
circles, has also advanced so far as the
1904 cut is¥concerned.
. The first mill man to announce the ten
per cent. advance was Mr. J. R. Booth,
“the king of them all.” What J. R.
Booth says~ generally goes in lumber
circles in Eastern Canada, and consequent-
ly other mill owners followed suit, so that
practically all the 1904 cut was sold at the
advance. The reasons given for the
advance are the increased cost of labor
and provisions for the present season.
“Yes, there’s been an advance,” said a
buyer, ‘“‘but I cannot see how the second
man can realize on ii. Certainly the
demand for Canadian lumber just at

present does not warrant such an ad-

vance.”
It is generally agreed that when the

advance was decided upon, the mill men
had in mind the fact that there would bea
shortage in the log cut and hence less
manufactured lumber later of to supply
the market.

Despite the shortage in the present
season’s log cut, it is thought that the
saws will have about all they can do next
“summer. In the first place there was a
good run of logs last year, and many are
still in the booms, which will be availabie
when the mills start in on the season’s
cutting. Then again, all the present
season's cut will be driven if the snow and
water does not move off too rapidly, and
this will mean a good supply for the;sum-
mer sawing proper.

The firms anticipating an early break-
up paid attention to the movement of the
logs and have, despite the handicap of
deep snow, placed them nearly all on the
stream sides. Where the depth of snow
is no interference, some of the firms have
resumed log cutting operations near the
streams and this will mean an additional
supply. Again, in Quebec province, many
logs were “hung up” last year which will,
from present indications, be gotten down
to the mills this spring. All this will go
to give the saws 4 good supply and to
insure a normal cut of lumber.

It is recognized that in the matter of
log shortage, the Ottawa district is better
off than is the Georgian Bay country,
where the deep snow and lack of labor
were more general impediments.

The square timber men are pretty con-
fident that they will get all their bulky
sticks cut this spring, but even at that the
showing will not be as good as was that
of last year as far as the Ottawa oper-
ators are concerned. Asa matter of fact,
square timber is already moving by rail.
The Canada Atlantic is hauling some of
the finest square timber cut in the Ottawa
country off Mr. J. R. Booth’s Madawaska
limits. The timber is being unloaded into
the St. Lawrence at Clark’sIsland. There
it will be made into a raft and floated
down to Quebec city for export when
navigation opens.

In the retail end of the business there is
little doing, snow blockades continuing to
give trouble in the handling ot lumber in
the yards and on the railways. As has
already been intimated, good business is
expected with the opening of spring. It
is believed the resumption of building
operations on an extensive scale in New
York and district, will create a big demand
for Canadian white pine. Moreover, the
Baltimore fire will also indirectly benefit
the Ottawa lumber business. There will
be a big demand in the fire-swept city
for southern woods, and this will mean a
falling off in their shipments to the New
York market. Shortage in Georgia
pine and southern cypress in the New
York and other northern markets will mean
an increased demand for Canadian white
pine.

An important deal in the 1904 cut of
spruce has just been closed. Mr. W. H.
McAuliffe, of Ottawa, has contracted for
the summer’s cut of spruce at McLachlan
Bros.’ mill, Arnprior, and the St. Anthony
Lumber Company’s mill at Whitney. The

DEMAND FOR RAILWAY TIES.

Mr. A. Poindron, Commercial Agent for
Canada at Paris, France, has submitted
to the Department of Trade and Com-
merce a report on the demand for railway
ties in France. The dimensions of the
ties mostly in demand are similar to those
used in this country. There are two sizes,
the first 8 ft. 10 3-8 inches long by 8 5-8
inches wide by 5 1-2 inches deep for
square ties, and second 8 ft. 10 3-8 inches
long by 11 7-8 inches by 6 inches for half
round or sided ties. The duty is about
29 cents per 220 pounds and the price on
the cars at Havre’s Station, duty paid, 67
cents each.

The largest steady demand is for oak
and beech ties, which are purchased by
the railway companies either plain or in-
jected with creosote. When bought plain
they are injected with creosote on the
railways’ own plants. Steady contract
specifications have been supplied to Can-
adian inquirers applying to both cases.
No substantial import contract is obtain-
able from a‘French railway company un-
less an important building of track is in
course of construction or in view, as
for the renewals of the track
and small extensions they get generally
all the beech or oak ties they want in the
local districts surrounding the system’s

repairs

lines, but as soon as important buildings
of new tracks are resumed, the local sup-
ply becomes insufficient and accordingly
they are open for very large contracts of
foreign ties. Such has been the case in
the past few years.

The railway men in France object to
plain beech ties being imported, as they
think that the sea voyage injures the wood.
Accordingly, so far as beech ties are con-
cerned, French railway engineers would
be open only for beech ties shipped from
Canada already injected with creosote.

We own and operate several mills in Washington and British
Columbia, being on both sides of the ‘‘ Imaginary Line” known
as the International Line, and it keeps our opponents in the trade
guessing how to meet us on account of the good quality of our
manufactured stock, which has been so carefully planned that
even the selection of our timber lands in years past has something
to do with the present.

We find our competing salesmen’s story to the customers has
now got to be a ‘‘song pure and simple,’’ which they have
learned from necessity to sing loudly and lustily, and is as
follows: “ JUST AS GOOD AS HASTINGS,” “JUST
AS GOOD AS HASTINGS.”

While we appreciate their holding our goods as models of per-
fection, which the high standard certainly merits, still looking at
the matter from the customer’s and the consumer’s standpoint
we cannot see any advantage to you in buying an imitation when
the real article can be had through our representatives, viz :—

ability being features to
which special attention is
given.

It is unnecessary to buy
two swages unless some o
the saws are very thick and
some are very thin—simply
order one swage, with two
front guards. The fourth

which has achieved remark- |

able success.

The Crowell swage is manu-
factured in four stand-
ard sizes : No. 1 is suitable for all saws from 16 to 22
guage, and will fit teeth one inch or further apart ; No.
2 is suitable for all saws from 12 to 16 guage, and_ will
fit teeth one anda quarter inches or further apart ;
No. 3 is suitable for all saws from 9 to 12 guage, and
will fit teeth one and one quarter inches or further
apart ; No. 4 is suitable for all saws from 6 to 12
guage.

The manufacturer of the Crowell swages is Mr. D.
J. Crowell, 200 The Terrace, Buffalo, N. Y., who will
be very glad to send further particulars and quote
prices to all persons interested. He requests that all
orders from parties not accustomed to the use of
swages should be accompanied by sketch of at least
four teeth for band or gang saws, and three teeth for
circular saws, also guage of saw.

THE WOOD PULP MARKET.

The wood pulp situation is decidedly strong. There
is very little pulp on the market and mills in both Can-
ada and the United States are closed down on account
of low water and frozen streams. The continued low
temperature increases the seriousness of the situation,
while the delay in receiving shipments has affected the
mills that had contracted for their supply of pulp wood.
In the State of Maine there is very little pulp being
ground. Importations of pulp from abroad are being
made by paper manufacturers in the United States in
order to relieve the situation. It is stated that about
10,000 tons have been contracted for, three of the car-
goes, or approximately 7,000 tons, having been ordered
Two or three of the

have cabled tor Norwegian pulp and the receipts from
that quarter will afford a temporary relief. It is. not
expected that there will be any surplus pulp for sale
before May at the earliest.

Scandanavian pulp prices are alsoadvancing. The
Fermand in a recent issue says: ‘‘The value of most
mechanical pulp, good ordinary brands, may to-day be
quoted Kr. 30 to 31 per ton f.0.b., which means a hard-
ening of from 1 to 5 Kr. since the turn of the year.
Cellulose continues harcening ; the value may now be
quoted Kr. 126 for strong and Kr. 137 for easy bleach-
ing f.o.b., or fully Kr. 10 more than a year ago.”

THE CHATHAM PULP MILL.

Cruisers who have been sent over the Chatham, N.B.,
pulp mill lands by the Bank of Montreal report that
they are much more valuable than was supposed and
have been damaged by trespassers less than was
thought. It is calculated, from the estimates of prac-
tical woodsmen, that sufficient pulp wood can be cut on
these lands to supply a mill making 7o tons of pulp a
day for alltime. The 262 square miles of timber land
belonging to the mill is a very valuable asset and is
growing more valuable every year.

Now that the legal complications that tied the hands
of the new owners of the property so long are ended,
and the Bank of Montreal is offering the mill for sale,
everybody should render it all the help in their power.
With a smaller capital on which to pay interest, and
more economical and intelligent management, there is
no reason why the mill may not be operated profitably
to the owners as well as to the public.

CANADIAN WOOD PULP EXPORTS.

A notable increase is shown in exports of Canadian
wood pulp. In the fiscal year 1902 the export amount-
ed to $2,046,398, and in 1903 to $3,150,943. In the two
years the distribution was :-—

The above figures show that Great Britain increased
its purchases by $300,000, the United States by up-
wards of $600,000 and Belgium by more than $200,000.

PULP NOTES.

The output of the pulp mill at St. George, N.B., has
been increased to forty tons per day.

The Belgo Pulp & Paper Company, of Shawinigan
Falls, Que., expect to commence the manufacture of
paper this month.

The St. John Lumber Company, in which consider-
able New Brunswick capital is interested, have de-
cided to build large pulp and paper mills near their
saw-mill three miles above Van Buren, on the St. John
river ia Maine.

The water power on the St. Francis river at Tren-
holmville, about six miles from Richmond, Que., has
been purchased by E. W. Tobin, M. P., and F. N.
McRae, of Sherbrooke. They propose to build a dam
and pulp mill during the coming summer.

A committee appointed to inquire into the position
and prospects of the St. John Sulphite Co., Limited, of
Mispec.,N.B., has, according to a report from London,
recommended that the company work up the existing
stocks of raw material and thereafter close the mills
until the prices of pulp shall advance.

Matters are assuming definite shape with regard to
the new pulp mill to be erected at North Bay, Ont.,
y J. J. Warren, of Toronto, and his associates. It
will likely be commenced this spring and will cost
about $200,000. The town has voted a bonus of
$15,000 towards the enterprise, which is to be paid
when the mill is completed.

The Petewawa Lumber, Pulp & Paper Company has
sold out to the Petewawa Power Company, Limited,
which has r2cently been incorporated by the Ontario
Government. The capital of the latter company is
$250,000, and the promoters include Duncan Donald
and M. P. Vander Voort, barristers, and C. H. Mc-
Arthur, broker, all of Toronto.

C.B. Bride, mill architect and engineer, of Appleton,
Wis., recently sent W. R. Smith to British Columbia to
confer with representatives of the Western Pulp & Lum-
ber Company regarding plans for proposed mills. Mr-
Smith will examine and report upon the available water.
powers in the vicinity of Kamloops, which place, it is
thought, offers the best facilities for the establishmert
of the proposed enterprise.

Last year the settlers in the Bella Coola district of
British Columbia made a bargain with Robert M.
Thompson, a company promoter of Tacoma, Washing-
ton, to the effect that if he would build a pulp mill in
the settlement they would allow him to cut the pulp
wood from their farms tree of charge, the mills to be o¢
a capacity of 125 tons of pulp per day. The settlers
signing the agreement hold an aggregate of 6,700 acres
of land, a greater portion of which is covered with
spruce, cottonwood, firand cedar. The agreement is”
to last for forty-two years, the settlers retaining a por-
tion of the timber for their own use. Accordingly, Mr.
Thompson formed the Bella, Coola Pulp and Paper Co.,
the charter of incorporation giving the company the
right to establish both pulp and paper mills. Timber
cruisers have been at work on the property and they
are said to have selected no land running below from
one million to two million feet to the torty acres, and
the timber is all within two miles of the very best of
driving waters.

There were imported into the United Kingdom dur-
ing 1903 232,892 tons of chemical pulp and 343,111 tons
of mechanical pulp, as compared with 198,604 tons and
327,195 1ons respectively in 1902. Of the total in 1903
83.711 tons, or less than 16 per cent., were received
from Canada. Norway’s percentage was over 53 and
Sweden’s over 27. The ap returns show the

MAYOR WILSON OF COLLINGWOOD.

In introducing to readers ot this Depart-
ment Mayor Daniel Wilson, of Collingwood,
the statement need scarcely be made that he is
at the head of one of the most complete and

up-to-date planing mill and wood-working

plants in Canada. From a modest beginning
he gathered together a great fund of informa-
tion regarding the utilization and manipulation
of lumber and has employed his knowledge to
good account in the management of the
business with which he is associated. His
firm, Wilson Bros., are manufacturers of
doors, sash, blinds, mouldings,
flooring and all kinds of dressed lumber.
Mayor Wilson was born in Collingwood in
1861. He received a common school educa-
tion and started at the age of fourteen to work
in the shingle, heading and stave factory of
George Buck & Company. At seventeen he
went to learn to grade lumber at Christie, Kerr

‘returned to Collingwood and for three years

was employed by George Buck & Company in
grading lumber in the summer and scaling logs
in the winter. For a little over a year he was
employed by George Gall, of Toronto, as lum-
ber inspector.

In the latter part of 1887, in company with
his brother, Mr. Wilson leased a small planing
mill in Collingwood and started manufacturing

Two years ago his brother withdrew to devote

under the same name.

The business of Wilson Bros. was very suc-

been constantly added and rarely has an old

shut down the factory for one day for want of
work. They employ constantly from fifty to
one hundred hands, shipping their product
from the Atlantic to the Pacific coasts. The
subject of our sketch has had charge of the
machinery and shop management, and he takes
a pardonable pride in pointing to their plant as
one of the most modern planing mills in
Canada. He is a constant reader of trade
journals, concerning which he says: ‘‘ We have
taken a number. of these because we thought
we could not do without them, one article often
paying us directly more than the cost for
several years.”

Mr. Wilson was first elected to the Council ©

in 1896, serving for seven consecutive years.

He has always retained the confidenc@ of the
electors, being successful each time’ ‘he has
sought public honors, - He was elected Mayor
for the current year Ke a good majority. Mr.

DRESSING LUMBER. ,
The plan in some of the most modern ma-—
chines of dressing lumber with the bottom —
cylinder before it is finished with the top cylin- 3

OPERATION OF PLANER KNIVES.

Some people have an idea that ifa planer
knife is set out too far it will cause wavy work
by the cylinder, and this setting out from the
lip of the cylinder, says a writer in an ex-
change, need not be more than 3é-inch, or
about that. With a planer knife 34-inch thick,
well bolted to the cylinder, it seems to me to
be a far-fetched claim to suggest that it might
be the projection of knife that would cause
wavy work. Astothe projection of a knife
causing ‘‘chipping” or tearing of the grain,
that is another question. How far we can go
in assuming that this would be the correct

are set 1/16-inch from the lip of the cylinder,
while a projection of 3/16-inch, with a double
bevel to the knives, gives the best results,
with smooth dressing on the solid knots. A
loose knot will come out, no matter how the
knives are set. Planing machines usually have
the top cylinder to raise and lower, and some
types of the travelling-bed machines are made
this way. In that type of machine with a
yielding pressure roll there is no adjustment
to make for a slight variation in the knife
projection, and as there is little or no differ-
ence in the work on the common run of

machines, I cannot see where the pay for all

same power to feed as a solid roll, whether used
separately or together. Each section of the rolls will
yield independently of each other ; consequently will
feed two pieces of material of an unequal thickness at
the same time, having a perfect bearing full width of
each piece of material that is being worked.

The divided hood or chip breaker works in connec-
tion with the divided roll. Machines with divided rolls
are supplied with centre guide. It will surface 26 inches
wide on two sides up to 8 inches thick, without remov-
ing the side spindles ; will joint or match four sides
from 2% inches up to 20 inches wide, and ¥% inch to 6
inches thick.

Cylinders are steel forgings, four sided and four
slotted. The top and lower cylinder journals are 2

inches in diameter, with extra long bearings. Knives
are interchangeable and can be used on either top or

theory, may be judged by the knives on a
moulder, where the work done by the knives
with the longest projection is equally as good
as that made by the knives with a projection
of no more than %-inch. Personally, I'do not
think I would lose any sleep over the projection
theory, for the results obtained from using
knives both ways have been like and unlike,
under varying conditions. As an instance of
how this works I might mention having a
planer that will tear the knots out of every
board that goes through it when the knives

the worry comes in while we are wasting our
gray matter over a fraction of an inch on a
knife.

SIX ROLL NEW NORTH-WEST PLANER
AND MATCHER.

We illustrate herewith a 26x8 six roll New
Northwest Planer aud Matcher, with divided in-
feeding rolls. It is also built with solid rolls. The
feed consists of 6-inch rolls, four in-feeding and two
delivery rolls, rear of under cylinder. In the divided
roll machine the first two top rolls are divided into two
sections, and they are so arranged that they have the

lower cylinaer. The pressureJbar over the under
cylinder is hinged on both sides, and can be Swung to
either side of the machine by loosening one nut, thus
giving quick access for sharpening or setting the
knives on the lower cylinder.

Each machine is furnished with two 26-inch knives
for each cylinder, one pair (2) two-winged matcher
heads, with set of milled matcher bits,(these heads will
take in cutters up to 24% inches wide), two beading
knives,. two novelty siding knives and necessary
wrenches. Six-inch four side jointer heads or circular
bit matcher heads are extra. There are two rates of
feed—26 and 50 lineal feet per minute.

This planer and matcher is manufactured by the
American Wood-Working Machinery Company, 136
Liberty Street, New York, and 43-45 South Canal
Street, Chicago.

Messrs. Joshua Oldham & Sons, manufacturers of

machine knives and saws of every description, of 26th
street, Brooklyn, are making a big effort to secure a
large share of the Canadian market, their efforts being
attended up to the present date with a marked degree
of success. Founded thirty years ago by the now
president, Mr. Joshua Oldham, an English saw maker,
the firm has had a career of unbounded success in the
United States, their long experience enabling them to
become thoroughly grounded in the mature and con-
struction of steel as to its use in the manufacture of
saws. They possess many patent processes and much
machinery for heating, hardening and tempering
special grades of steel, an oxidation process and other
details which all tend to assist in procuring saws of
excellent merit. Their advertisement, which appears

CASUALITIES.

Henry Curtis was severely injured in the Tobique
lumber woods by a log rolling over him. He lived at
Bristol, N. B.

John E. Schissler, an employee of the Victoria
Harbor Lumber Company, was so severely crushed
between two lumber cars that he died a few hours
later.

George Karis, a Pole, employed as cook in the
Pigeon River Lumber Company's camp near Port
Arthur, Ont., was literally blown to pieces by dynamite
on February 17th by placing the explosive which he
was drying for the choppers too close to the stove.

A. Boyer met his death last month in his saw mill a°
Greenwcod, Ont. While oiling a shaft his clothing was
caught and he was thrown a distance of fifteen feet into
the tailrace, striking a stone wall and being almost
instantly killed. Deceased had resided in the town-
ship for many years, managing a saw and grist mill as
well as tarming, and was highly respected.

John McFadden and W. H. Cook, the former head
log maker and the latter cook in Gilmour & Kennedy’s
shanty, three miles from North Wakefield, on the
Gatineau Valley Railway, were pursued by a band of
hungry wolves to the edge of Jamieson Lake. Their
shouts brought assistance from some teamsters who

carried Winchester rifles, with the result that one of
the wolves was killed. Owing to the very severe cold
and deep snow the wolves are more daring than usual
this winter, and, deprived of their means of assistance,
they have ventured into the vicincity of the lumber
camps.

policy affected being only $1,200, There is food
for thought in the fact that at this time, when
the large general insurance companies are anxi-
ously summing up their millions of losses in the great
conflagration, the lumber insurance companies are
practically without loss. The lumber insurance com-

panies maintain that there is no conflagration hazard

in their business. They insure only widely scattered
lumber and mill risks, and in the few places where two
yards adjoin, or where there isa ‘lumber district,”
they carefully limit their lines. If North Tonawanda or
the Chicago lumber district or similar districts should
be swept by fire, the losses of these companies would

not be excessive.

Among the many reasons for the great popularity ot these celebrated Edgers 3
are the following : % ee Conveying

1. They take up little room.

z. They require little power.

3. The feed rolls are adjustable in FOUR directions, which means absolute
accuracy.

4. The saws may be removed easily and quickly, without disturbing the arbor.

5. The mechanism for shifting the saws is up-to-date, convenient and positive.

6. The vital parts are carried by a substantial iron husk resting solidly on the floor.

7. They are pre-eminently practical.

8. There is no Edger made approaching them in cheapness,

There is no process its equal for tempering circular saws. Other makers recognize this fact, as some of
them, in order to sell their goods, claim to have the same process. All such Claims are FALSE, as the
patentee in the U. S. and ourselves are the only firms in the world who use it.

INSERTED TOOTH SAWS

Notice the improved shank. We call particular
attention to the swell which strengthens it at the weakest

part and which gives it more wear than the old style.

Shanks made in usual gauges and to fit your saws

perfectly.

‘SHINGLE SAWS

proven by the fact that the largest shingle and machine
manufacturers in Canada are using them.

After the reading and adoption of the
minutes of the last meeting, the President
made a brief address, pointing out the im-
portance of the forestry question. He referred
to the danger of fire trom the carelessness of
setilers, hunters and others. He believed the
Government officials were doing their best, but
it was also necessary to educate the public.

REPORT OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

The report of the Board of Directors, sub-
_ mitted by Mr. Slewart, showed that the member-

ship had increased from 400 in 1903 to 479 in

. pat. Twenty-four new life members were
d during the year. The financial report
ed a substantial balance on hand. The re-

the Ontario Government and $200 from the
British Columbia Government. The report stated

that a large percentage of the membership of

the Association were in favor of an official
organ to be devoted to the interests of forestry.

Owing to an extended period of dry weather
in the summer of 1903, fires were numerous
and resulted in considerable loss to timber.
That the loss was not much greater is attrib-

Mr. AUBREY WHITE,
President-Elect of the Canadian Forestry Association.f=2

uted to the efficient work of the fire ranging
staff.

Attention is called by the report to the
possibilities of danger to the forests conse-
quent on the construction and operation of rail-
ways. The establishment of a railway line
through timbered land has usually resulted in
disastrous consequences to the forests, largely
owing to want of care on the part of the con-
tractors and others in charge of the work of
construction, as well as to lack of sufficient
supervision by the companies operating the
roads for the protection of this valuable asset.
It was suggested that the Association give an
expression of its views in such a way as to
influence the authorities, both government
and railway, to take such action as may pre-
vent the development and extension of the
Canadian railway system from becoming an

with 63,780 trees, and for the present year,
1904, 1,030 settlers will be supplied, 1,700,000
trees having been provided for this purpose.
The total distribution, including 1904, will be
3,210,467 trees and 1,518 lbs. of seed to 2,064
settlers. It is estimated that the applications
for the year 1905 will reach the number of
2,300.

A recent estimate of the area of timber
reserves under control of the Dominion places
the figureat 15,13534 square miles, or 9,686,880
acres, 3,449,600 acres being in Manitoba,
5,612,800 in the North-West Territories and
624,480 acres in Bri.ish Columbia. A decision
has been reached to open the Rocky Mountains
Foothills Timber’ Reserve to disposal under
license. As this reserve controls the water
supply of a large part of Southern Alberta
where irrigation is necessary for successful
agriculture the conditions are unique, and the
administration of this reserve should not be
carried out on the same principles as are
adopted in connection with other tracts.
Licenses should certainly not be granted with-
out ‘an inspection of the limits, and there
should be such supervision of the operations
as to prevent injury to the water supply,
whether through increasing the danger from
fire or otherwise.

Your directors desire to draw the attention
of the members of this Association, as well as
that of the public in general, to the fact that a
Commission was appointed by the Government
of Quebec in March, 1902, to (1) Make a criti-
cal study of the laws and regulations respect-
ing public lands, woods and forests, coloniza-
tion societies, works and roads, and the pro-
tection of settlers, as well as the carrying out
of such laws and regulations;

(2) To enquire into the number of causes of

the difficulties between settlers and holders of

timber licenses and to advise upon methods
for their prevention and removal;

(3) To find out what are the sections ot the
country most suitable for colonization;

(4) To ascertain whether the present coloni-
zation roads are sufficient to give access to the
good farming lands, the extent of surveyed
lands large enough, and the work performed
by colonization societies deserve encourage-
ment;

(5) To enquite whether, in the interests of
the colonization of the Province, it is ex-

pedient to contribute towards the building of
certain bridges and to grant subsidies in lands
to certain railway companies.

(6) To study the new proposals or systems
which may be submitted to it, and, taking into
account the financial resources of the Province,
to recommend those which tend to amend the
laws and regulatiors so as to foster coloniza-
tion and the development of forest industries.

The scope of the Commission being a very
wide one and the subjects to be investigated
of vital interest to the Province of Quebec in
particular, and of interest to all the other Pro-
vinces of the Dominion, the report of this
Commission will be looked forward to with
great interest.

The Province of Prince Edward Island has
also appointed a Commission whose duties are
similar to those of the Province of Quebec.

The consideration of the Directors’
resulted in a lively discussion as to an official
organ, which culminated in referring the matter
to a special committee, which subsequently
recommended the publication of a monthly or
quarterly journal as a means of disseminating
information regarding the principles of forestry,
the Board of Directors to complete the neces-
sary arrangements.

of Montreal, read an interesting paper on ‘‘Our

Forest

Forest Reproduction in Germany.

At the afternoon session a paper on ‘‘Forest
Reproduction in Germany” by Dr. A. H. Unwin,
late of the Dominion Forestry Branch, was
read by Mr. Norman M. Ross. After naming
the native trees of Germany, Dr. Unwin out-
lined briefly the system of forest reproduction
adopted in that country. The principle of
cutting a torest with regard to getting a regular
and annual yield has been kept up from the
start both where planting had to be done to
restock the cut areas and also where the forest
could be left unassisted to reseed itself. And
it is to this that the splendid financial results
are due which each state in that country now
shows.

Calling the growing trees in a forest the
forest capital, what they took and take was
and is only the interest or what actually grows
each year in wood, and with increased care and
better management that capital has been in-
creased from 26,040 feet B.M. to 31,800 feet
B.M. per acre and the interest taken greater
still in proportion as timber prices have risen.
At the present time spruce pays about 4
per cent. on the capital represented when
grown pure under a rotation of go years. This
is on medium mountain soil in the Bavarian
Alps. Fifty years ago these forests were just
being used to their fullest capacity ; before
that they had scarcely been touched as being
inacessible. Experiments with the reproduc-
tion of white pine show that it can be profit-
ably grown or reproduced either by self-sown
seeds or planting with three year old trees. In
the former method the old and original crop is
gradually removed, leaving spaces sometimes
as much as half an acre between the trees
where the young trees come up in large

quantities. When the area is seemingly well
stocked more of the old trees are taken, still
leaving a few so as to insure all spaces being
filled in. In this way it has been found that
from the first cutting of the old stand to the
complete clearance of the same and restocking
of the area by self-sown seed it takes seven to
ten years, this being done without, any cost
for seed or preparation of soil. The old stand
is of a dense nature and so the forest soil is
covered with needles and twigs which rapidly
decay when exposed to the atmospheric
agencies. This leaves the soil in a receptive
condition for the seed. Most of the branches
and tops of the trees cut down are either used
as faggot wood or burnt. The spruce, the next
most important tree to us, is largely reproduced
by planting, or about 80 p-r cent. of all areas.
This is done by cutting the forest by strips up
the mountain side, moving in opposite direction
When a strip is first
cut it is three-quarters to a tree’s length in
width. This gradually widens as the first area
becomes re-seeded. Finally the first re-seeded
area has become old enough to cut again. A

rotation of 85 to go years is adopted and yields
timber of 16 to 18 inches square on medium
soil. This size pays best as, if left to get
larger, the increase in price does not more than
pay for the interest on the money represented
by the original trees. The Scots pine, another
important tree, and its counterpart, the Nor-
way or red pine here, is one which must have

successive cuts with two years between each,
the first being made previous to a seed year,
the second after a good seed year, and the
third about two years after the young seedlings
have got started. Even then a few trees are
left to stand over to re-seed blank spaces until
the end of the rotation and produce very large
timber.

John Bertram, of the Collins Inlet
Lumber Company, and Chairman of the Dom-
inion Transportation Commission, then read a
paper on ‘‘Forest Management in Ontario”,
which appears on another page.

DISCUSSION.

Mr. N. Silverthorne, referring to the papers
by Dr. Unwin and Mr. Bertram, stated that
years ago it was said that pine would not follow
pine, but this was contrary to his experience.
Mr. Thomas Conant spoke of the difficulty of
obtaining seeds to plant. He had obtained his
supply from Germany, and had had better
success in growing from seeds than in planting
young trees.
in planting black walnut trees, as of 10,000
trees planted, 7,000 were thriving.

Mr. Joly stated he had found it advisable to
collect pine seeds in March, as the cones were
open in the spring. He thought if seedsmen
knew how easy it is to collect seeds they would
give the matter more attention.

He had met with some success

Hon. E. J. Davis spoke of the reforestry
methods adopted by the Ontario Government.
He hoped to have the regulations governing
forest reserves in practical operation very short-

“the evening a banquet was held at the King

ly. He asked Mr. Bertram to give his views
as to the policy which should be adopted in
respect to berths sold to licensees where the
pine timber only was disposed of, also as to
what payment the Crown should receive if the
licensees were allowed to continue in possession
of the property in perpetuity. The buyer of
a timber limit purchased only the timber on
the berth, not what grew thereafter, con-
sequently it was only fair that the Government
should get some remuneration for the accretion
if the license were made permanent.

Mr. Bertram was non-committal, but
promised to give the Commissioner an answer
at a later date. He referred to the changes in
lumbering methods. Years ago the sole object
was to cut down the timber as soon as possible
and get the money out of it. After studying
the question of forest reproduction, he adopted —
the opposite policy, and in his lumbering oper-
ations as now conducted he cut no more —
timber from year to year than the accretion of
the timber. This was the true system of
lumbering. He was glad to know that to-day
many lumbermen were alive to the necessity of
protecting the young pine.

Prof. Roth said the United States Govern-
ment had set aside 60,000,000 acres of land as
forest reserves, the policy originating in 1891.
The timber on these reserves was sold on the
stump and cut under the direction of the Gov-
ernment, which in his opinion was the only
proper way. While the private individual made
the best farmer, the state made the best forest-
er. Touching upon forest fires, he said it was
a great question whether it is not better to have
people scattered through forest reserves, rather
than a large tract uninhabited, as under the
latter condition it is difficult to obtain aes
extinguish a fire.

A paper on ‘‘Forestry Education ” was read
by Prof. Loudon, of Toronto University, which
was followed by a discussion in which Prof.
Goodwin, of Kingston, Prof. Muldrew, of
Guelph, and others participated. “On motion _
of Mr. Bertram, a resolution was passed re-
questing the Ontario Government to make an
appropriate grant to found a school of forestry.

SECOND DAY. rs h

The first paper on the programme for the
second day was by Mr. Aubrey White on “‘Th eo
Crown Timber Regulations of the Provinces 0 f
Canada.” It will be found elsewhere in this —
number. The paper created a discussion as to
the tenure of licenses. Mr. Bertram said that —
the Ontario Forestry Commission, of which he

APRIL, 1904

was a member, had recommended that the
Government should assume control of large
areas where the timber had been cut off and
the limits abandoned, as they were a source of
great danger to adjoining limits. In the last
Government sale the time limit was fixed at
fifteen years, which in his opinion was too
short, and he believed the Government would
see the advantage of making an extension to
twenty years in future sales. What was to be
done with the large quantities of spruce, hem-
lock, balsam, and hardwood trees found on
what may be termed pine limits, was a ques-
tion which required consideration. Pine would
not germinate under the shade of these trees.
He suggested that the Department of Crown
lands take steps to ascertain whether the
cheaper woods could not be cut out and utilized
to advantage, and the pine thus given a chance
to grow. It would bea great advantage if a
cheap plant could be installed in the woods for
producing extract of hemlock. A small plant
for making mechanical pulp might also assist
in solving the problem of the profitable utiliza-
tion of the cheap coniferous woods.

Mr. White explained that timber licenses
absolutely terminated on the 3oth of April each
year, which gave the Government the right to

_ adopt new regulations for the following year.

The licensee,however, had the right of renewal
each year for the period covered by his license
provided he complied with the regulations.

Prof. Roth said in respect to wood alcohol
he understood quite a large plant was neces-
sary before it could be operated at a profit.
There was an acid plant at Cadillac, Mich.,
which was a paying undertaking. The gas
and tar were used for fuel. He advised caution
in endeavoring to get rid of timbers which now
seemed worthless, as in later years they might
be found very valuable.

Hon. Mr. Davis stated that where the lands
are not suitable for agriculture the Govern-
ment is considering means whereby the hard-
wood timber could be made available and be
manufactured.

The discussion then veered to forest fires,
and a resolution was passed specifying the
period during which settlers should be per-
mitted to set out fires.

A paper on ‘‘The Laurentides National
Park” was read by Mr. W. C. J. Hall, of the
Department of Lands, Forests and Fisheries,
Quebec, followed by one on ‘‘Forestry in Re-
lation to Irrigation” by Mr. J. S. Dennis,
Commissioner of Irrigation for the Canadian
Pacific Railroad.

Prof. H. L. Hutt, of the Ontario Agricuitur-
al College, submitted an interesting paper at
the afternoon session on ‘‘Some Ontario Forest
Problems.” He said that what was needed at
the present time was a larger staff of experi-
enced foresters, who would personally oversee
the forests of the north.

Mr. E. Stewart gave an interesting account
of the progress of tree planting on the western
plains. Of all trees planted 85 per cent. were
growing. Including the allotment for this
spring, the Government will have sent out
over 3,000,000 trees, the cost of growing and

distribution being about $1 per thousand trees.

Last year an appropriation of $40,000 was
made tor the work.

The following resolution was passed : ‘‘That
the Association urgeupon the Federal and Pro-
vincial Governments the immediate necessity of
a thorough examination of the water courses of
Canada, with a view tothe proper mainten-
ance of the torest growth so essential to the
welfare of the country, also that in view of the
early commencement of the proposed trans-
continental railway, that the Government ar-
range an agreement withthe contractors for
an efficient control to prevent forest fires, and
when built that the railway be asked to estab-

lish an effective patrol along the afforested line

of railway.”

Upon the invitation of Mr. Joly de Lot-
biniere, it was decided to hold the next annual
meeting in Quebec on the second Thursday in
March, 1905.

The election of officers resulted as follows:
Patron, His Excellency the Governor-General ;
Hon. President, Wm. Little, Montreal; Presi-
dent, Aubrey White, Toronto ; Vice-President,
E. G. Joly de Lotbinere, Quebec ; Secretary,
R. H. Campbell, Ottawa; Treasurer, Norman
M. Ross, Ottawa; Directors, J. R. Booth,
Ottawa ; John Bertram, Toronto ; Dr. Saund-
ers, Ottawa; Prof. John Macoun, Ottawa ;
Thos. Southworth, Toronto; E. Stewart,
Ottawa; H. M. Price, Quebec ; Hiram Robin-
son, Ottawa.

At a subsequent meeting of the Board the
following Vice-Presidents for Provinces were
named: Rev. A. E. Burke, Alberton, P.E.I. ;
Hon. J. W. Longley, Halifax; Hon. J. B.
Snowball, Chatham, N.B. ; Hon. S. N. Parent,
Quebec; Hon. E. J. Davis, Toronto; Sir
Daniel McMillan, Winnipeg; Hon. L. J.
Forget, Regina; Wm. Pearce, Calgary; F.
D. Wilson, Fort Vermillion, Atha.; H. Bostock,
Ducks, B. C.

HIGH PRICE FOR PINE TREES.

The owner of any number of large white
pine trees is doubtless much richer than the
average person imagines, as a recent transac-
tion would indicate. There stands on the
south side of Lake Scugog, in Ontario County,
four hundred acres of timber, which is the only
important block of timber in the vicinity. Two
hundred acres of this is owned by Mr. Thos.
Conant, of Oshawa, and one hundred acres
each by Mr. Mackenzie and Mr. Smith, of
Oshawa. Last fall certain parties approached
the owners with a view to buying some of the
trees. Mr. Conant was unable at the time to
accompany the buyers to his property to
examine the timber, and consequently only the
trees on the other two hundred acres were
obtainable. Two trees, 4% feet at the butt,
were sold for $400 each, and eleven trees ata
price ranging from $80 to $120 each. The
timber was hauled to the C.P.R. station and
three flat cars were required to carry the two
large trees. It was shipped to England, where
it is to be used for ship masts. This accounts in
part for the high price p1id,as perfectly straight
grained trees of sufficient length and _ suit-
able for masts are becoming very scarce. Our
Canadian shipbuilding firms are paying as
much as $100 per tree for similar purposes.

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN 1

BAND SAW SHARPENING.

Finely sharpened teeth are essential to the
best results in band saw cutting, and the com-
parative merits of emery wheels and files, to-
gether with the practical: details pertaining to
the operation of sharpening machines, are
good subjects for considerations An automatic
Sharpener is an indispensable machine for
band saw work, but very much depends upon
the coastruction and adjustment of the ma-
chine itself as to the quality of the work it
performs. The rapid introduction of band and
band resaw mills has called tor the careful
exercise of inventive genius in the perfection
of band sharpeners, as well as for the exercise
of the best mechanical skill and the use of the
best material in their manufacture.

In a band saw sharpener it is essential that
the machine be abundantly heavy and very
rigid for handling all saws within its capacity;
that the feed of the saw shall be positive and
uniform ; that the inclination and motion of
the emery wheel shall be variable, to permit of
any hook and any shape to the throat ; that
the boxes and slides shall be provided with
efficient oiling devices, and kept free from
dust ; that the wear of the emery wheel shall
be compensated by a faster speed motion, and
that means be provided for withdrawing the
emery dust from the machine.

A sharpener should be bolted firmly to the
floor or to a substantial bench support, if it is
of size for band resaws, that the machine may
be free from vibration. The opinion is now
general that the best method of carrying the
saw to the machine is to support it upon ad-
justable post brackets, the machine being
equipped with a front and back feed finger in
preference to the method of supporting the
saw on a set of adjustable pulleys, with single
feed fingers.—Packages.

NEW ELECTRIC SAW MILL.

An extensive plant, including several
buildings and a lumber dock, has been erected
at St. John’s, Oregon, by the Central Lumber
Company, for use in connection with a new
electricsawmill. The interesting feature of the
equipment is the large machine upon which the
sawing is accomplished. This consists of four
saws, the largest one being driven perpen-

dicularly by a 75-h.p. motor, and the other
three horizontally by a 45-h.p. motor. All the
saws and the motors are suspended on a steel
frame, which moves backward and forward,
while the log remains stationary. To bring
the logs from the river a ball-bearing truck,
operated by a 20-h.p. motor, and running on
an incline, is used. Recently, in testing the
machine, about. 15,000 feet of lumber was sawn
up, and, although the work was not executed
quite as rapidly as was expected, it was never-
theless done in a most satisfactory manner.
A high class of lumber was used, and it was
cut very smoothly, there being none of the
roughness noticeable in freshly sawn wood
coming from the ordinary mill. It is believed
that a greater speed will be acquired after the
machine has been in operation longer. An
attractive characteristic of the mill is that logs
of almost any size may be handled, and there
is very liltle waste. For instance, an immense
log 7 ft. thick, which had proved too much for
the larger ordinary sawmills, was cut with ease
by this machine, and produced all told about
1,700 feet of board.

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN

THE SYSTEMS OF ADMINISTRATION ON TIMBER
LANDS IN CANADA.*

By AUBREY WHITE,
Deputy Commissioner of Crown Lands of Ontario.

Having been requested to read a paper at this meet-
ing of the Forestry Association, I have chosen. as my
subject ‘‘The Systems of Administration of Timber
Lands in C2nada,”’ a subject which lies within the scope
of our studies and ought to be of importance to any
society taking an interest in the preservation of our
forest wealth.

I have not confined myself to the provincial systems
only because my paper would not be complete without
some reference to the Dominion laws and regulations,
and I have strayed a little afield to notice the system
prevailing in Newfoundland, which we hope soon to
see included in the constellation of nations, if 1 may so
put it, which form this great Dominion.

I suppose I might have contented myself with making
a collection of the laws and regulations covered by my
field of study, and have read them to you, leaving you
to form your own opinions about their efficiency, but I
have thought it would be more interesting, as well as
instructive, if I were to take the most important of the
systems and trace it from the seed up to the full
grown tree with its numerous branches of regulations.

The most important system is that prevailing in
Ontario and Quebec, and I bracket the systems of
these two provinces together, because they have
grown from the same germ, were under one
management until the year 1867, the date of Con-
federation, and since then have differentiated very
slightly. The seed of our system was sown in the
period known asthe ‘‘French Regime,” when, in grants
of Crown Lands to the Seigniors, the oak timber, and
later on the pine, was reserved to the King, and did
not pass with the soil. Some of the principles that
govern free grants under our legislation of to-day are
found in these grants, and as was to be expected, some
of the difficulties which exist to-day were troublesome
even in that early period. As toa typical grant, I take
that made to Sieur de la Valliere by the Governor of
Quebec in 1683. In it we find (1) that settlers are to
be put on the land and that they must take possession,
make improvements and keep house and home within
two years, otherwise the location was to be forfeited, (2)
the oak timber was to be reserved to the King and had
to be protected, (3) the necessary roadways and pass-
ages had to remain open,and (4) the mines and miner-
als were reserved to the King. In our free grant system
there is required (1) actual residence and improvements,
(2) the pine timber is reserved to the King, (3) roads
and streams are reserved, and (4) the mines and
minerals are also reserved to the King. The reser-
vation of the oak timber was not a dead letter. I have
read one permit — familiar name — granted by the
Governor in 1731, authorizing the holder to enter upon
a Seigniory and cutand remove the timber rcquired for
building a vessel, which timber was to be brought to
Quebec and there inspected and received, and a great
deal of our square timber is to-day brought there to be
inspected and received for shipment. Trespasses were
provided against, and the regulations were drastic,
which not only included confiscation of the timber, as
in our day, but also forfeiture of the horses and plant
engaged in taking out the stclen timber. The settlers’
grievances were also present; we find that a settler
having cut some oak trees in process of clearing and
sold the logs cut from them, the Seignior immediately
fined him. The settler appealed his case to the
Governor, who in effect said : ‘‘How can he clear the
tand without cutting down the oak trees, why should he
burn them if he can turn them into money? It is inthe
public interest that trees felled in the course of clearing
should be sawn into boards and disposed of in order
that the settler may obtain a little money to assist him
in making his improvements rather than that he should
be obliged to burn them on the land,” and he further
confounded the Seignior by calling his attention to the
fact that the oak was reserved not to him but to the
King. If the settler cut beyond the limits of his clear-
ing, or failed to improve his location, any timber cut

onto, March to, 1904.

by him was held to be a trespass. Here are the very
same regulations that prevail to-day under which the
settler may cut and sell timber required to be removed
in clearing his land and commits a trespass if he cuts
beyond the limits of clearing or before he has become
a bona fide settler. The right to take timber free of
charge for public works, such as bridges, colonization
roads, etc., was reserved in the grant to the Seignior,
and the same reservation is found in our timber licenses
to-day. After what I have said you will see why it is I
go back to the French Regime for the beginning of
things. :

When the British took possession the Governor's
attention was directed to the timber question. Pine,
of gourse, was reserved to the King for naval purposes,
but the Governor went a step further and issued in-
structions that areas containing quantities of pine were
to be reserved absolutely, no settlers were to be
allowed in them, and—wise precaution—no sawmills
were to be erected anywhere near pine reserves, except
by his express permission. Now you will note that down
to the end of the year 1700, though the pine was
reserved to the Crown, and pine areas were to be kept
isolated, there is no mention of any authority being
given to enter upon the Crown domain to take out
timber for ordinary lumbering purposes, and here to
dispose of the question of pine reservations, which by
the way are now, over too years later, being made for
the first time, it will be sufficient to say that none were
made; the policy was proposed, but no life given to it.
What was done was to insert a reservation of the white
pine to the King in all patents iscued.

We now come to a period when timber was cut for
exportation from Canadian forests. The reservation
of the pine, as already stated, was to be tor naval
purposes. Shortly after 1800 the attention of the
contractors to the dockyards in England was called,
perhaps by some wid2 awake Canadian, to this reser-
vation, and perhaps it was said by some Canadian
advocate of ‘‘Preferential Trade within the Empire” :
‘Why do you not come to Canada and get some of
your timber there instead of getting it all from the
Baltic ?” Be that as it may, the Naval contractors did
apply to the Home Government for permission to cut
masts, etc., in Canadian forests, and licenses—mark
that word—were issued, one of which is now in my
possession, dated 7th October, 1807, authorizing
Messrs. Scott, Idles & Company to cut timber in the
forests of Canada. This license was directed to the
Surveyor General of Woods & Forests on the Continent
of America—fancy that for a jurisdiction. Messrs. Scott,
Idles & Company transferred their rights to Messrs.
Muir & Jollift, of Quebec. The Lieutenant-Governor-
in-Council of Canada directed the Deputy Surveyor
General of Woods for Canada to mark the trees that
might be cut—quite a contract for him,was it not? No
attempt seems to have been made to inspect this cut-
ting,much less mark the trees, and the cutting was limit-
ed only by the ideas of the people who were operating
under these licenses. Here we have the first issue of
any form of authority, under British rule, to cut timber
on the Crown lands, and the name of that authority,
viz., license, has been continued ever since. This
business of contractors for dock yards cutting by proxy
was the genesis of our square timber trade; it
centered in a few Quebec merchants, and these gentle-
men were the precursors of those great firms which
afterwards made Quebec famous as one of the principal
timber markets of the world. It is to be noticed that
the licenses did not cover any area. The holders of
them went where they pleased, cut the best timber and
paid nothing for it. The first of these licenses was
issued in 1807 but it was not until 1826 that we find any
attempt at regulation or supervision. Such a system
as this created discontent, it being in the nature of a
monopoly, and at last people began to take the law
into their own hands, go into the forests and cut as
they pleased without any authority.

To bring an end to the discontent, bring order out of
chaos, and more important still to obtain some revenue

informer, then to the next applicant. These instruct-
ions also specifically declared that licenses were not
transferable and that any attempt to transfer them
would entail forfeiture. Applicants had also to declare
who were associated with them in the application.

Two months later, on the 14th August, 1846, other

made by these regulations was that limit-holders might
transfer their limits with the sanction of the Depart-
_ ment of Crown Lands, a provision that has come down
to our own time, and the quantity of timber to be cut
each year per mile was reduced from 1,000 to 500 feet.

In 1849 a Select Committee of the House was appoint-

ed to consider the causes of depression in the lumber

¢ trade and suggest a remedy. This Committee made

was caused by over-production, which was stimulated
by the uncertain tenure of licenses and the threaten-
‘ed subdivision of the licenses already granted. Also
that provisions requiring a certain quantity to be pro-
duced, without respect to the state of the markets, had
a bad effect, and that the want of any decisive action
by the department with respect to disputed boundaries
was demoralizing. The uncertainty of the tenure and
the disputed boundaries caused great trouble. Wealthy
lumbermen who had the advantage of large numbers of
men, would go in where they liked, without respect to
others’ rights, and rush out all the timber they could
manage tocutin one season. Asa remedy, positive
‘right of the renewal of licenses was recommended so as
to give certainty of tenure. Surveys of boundaries, and
the imposition of ground rent for the areas covered by.
the license, was also suggested, and it was recommended
that no distribution of areas should take place. It was
further pointed out that under the regulations the
practice with respect to the collection of dues was to

ascertain the quantity by counting the number of sticks

and averaging them without respect to sizeat a certain
number of feet per stick, which averaee was too high
in some cases and too low in others, and with respect
to this the suggestion was made that dues should be
paid on the actual contents of the timber ascertained
by count and measurement.

The result of the report of this Committee was the
passage of the “Crown Timber Act”, which, with com-
parative little change, is to-day the law under which all

the timber licenses are issued in the provinces of
Ontario and Quebec. This Act provided that the
Commissioner of Crown Lands might grant licenses
for unoccupied territory, at such rates and subject to
such conditions, regulations and restrictions as the
‘Lieutenant-Governor might establish frum time to time.
No license was to be granted for a longer period than
twelve months and all the licenses expired on the 3oth
April of each year. The territory licensed was to be

_ described in each license. The Licensee was given ab-
_ solute possession of the territory so that he could prose-
cute trespassers and seize timber cut by them. The
making of sworn returns of the timber cut year by year
was provided for, and there were many other provisions
of less importance. The first regulations under this
Act are dated 5th September, 1849. Agencies were
established — agents might, on application, grant
licenses, apparently without referring the applications
to the Commissioner of Crown Lands. Sketches of the
territory applied for had to de furnished. The area of
timber limits was increased from 5 miles by 5 miles to
10 miles by 5 miles. Licenses were to be confined as
far as possible to one side of the river. There was no
restriction to the number of limits a man might hold.
The timber was to be cut and paid for at certain rates.
Transfers of limits were to be in writing and not valid
until approved by the Commissioner of Crown Lands.
It also provided that settlers or squatters cutting with-
out authority, if they cut any timber except for building-

1 ~ fencing, clearing, etc., were to be treated as trespass-
ers, These restrictions contained a distinct provision

- for renewal of licenses. The proper counting and

measuring of timber cut was also provided for, and a
ause was inserted in the regulations that actual
“settlers were not to be interferred with in the clearing
of the land, etc. Here the settler first appears in the
gulations. Under these regulations all a person had

to do in order to obtain a limit was to make application
to the Agent, furnish a sketch of the territory he
desired to obtain and give security to pay the dues on
the timber cut. There was no provision for competition
except where adverse applications were received.
Generally speaking, the principle of selling limits by
public auction appears to have been entirely absent
from the regulations.

In 1851 fresh regulations were promulgated. The new
provisions provided—I call particular attention to this—
that sawlogs cut onthe public domain, if exported, paid
double dues. Ground rent at the rate of filty cents per
mile was imposed. Here we have discrimination against
the export of logs and the first imposition of ground
rent. The yround rent was to be doubled each year
that the limit was not worked. Vacant territory was to be
granted to the first applicant provided he called and
paid the ground rent, in the Bytown Agency within
three months, elsewhere one month. If adverse appli-
cations were made for the same territory then the right
to receive the license was decided by lot.
notice a gambling spirit in deciding the rights of in-
dividuals. Who would toss up for a limit to-day?
There was also a provision to sell to the highest bidder
in case of clashing of applications. Registers of the li-
censes issued were to be kept in the Agencies and the
Crown Lands Department and were to be open for
public inspection. Decisions of the Crown Timber Agents
as to the disputed boundaries were to be final until
reversed by arbitration. If one party failed (o appoint
his arbitrator then the Crown Timber Agent took the
position. Should they not be able to agree on an um-
pire the Commissioner was to appoint one. Transfers
of limits were allowed subject to the approval of the
Commissioner of Crown Lands. Parties defying the
regulations of the Department or the decision of the ar_
bitrators were to be refused further licenses and their
berths forfeited and disposed of. Security had to be
given for the timber dues, etc.

Here we

In 1855 an Order-in-Council was passed dealing with
the ground rent question, and fearing apparently that
the imposition of ground rent might lead to the idea of
the rights of ownership, in order to prevent any
misunderstanding, this order-in-Council contained a
declaration of great importance, to wit, that the changes
made are not to imply that the Government cannot
increase the ground rent or timber dues at any time in
the future as the circumstances of the trade may
render it expedient. Previous to the year 1857 no in-
formation could be obtained about the transactions of
the Crown Lands Department except by special Return
to the House, but on motion of Mr. A. T. Galt it was in
the session of 1856 ordered that an Annual Report of tie
management of the Crown domain should be submitted
to the Legislature each session. The first Report, and
it was one of the bests reports that has ever been issued
by the Department, was made for the year 1857.

In 1857 another change was made in the time for the
payment of the ground rent; it was now to fall on
the 3oth April in each year, the day on which ground
rent becomes payable under the present regulations.
The cases of competition which came up under
the regulations forced upon the attention of
the Commissioner the principle of selling timber berths
by public auction, for in the report of the Commissioner
of Crown Lands for the year 1859 it is stated that wher-
ever competition existed or could be excited, recourse
had been had to the plan of disposing of the timber
by public auction. Between the years 1856 and 1860,
attention was sharply drawn to the practice of people
purchasing under the pretense of settlement valuable
timber lands, thus depriving the Crown of its revenue
and the licensees of what they believed to be their pro-
perty. Energetic steps were taken by the Department
to stop this system of plundering.
were cancelled when the lands were found to be valu-
able for the pine timber. Under the settlement regu-
lations then prevailing, strange to say, the settler could
burn whatever timber he cut in the course of clearing
his land, but if he cut it into sawlogs and sold them he
was guilty of trespass, The good sound position laid
down by the Governor during the French Regime was
departed from with cisastrous results. The settlers
were very much embittered and a deplorable state 0,

class of license calleda ‘‘Settler’s License” was issued
to settlers who erected a house 16x20, cleared five acres
in every hundred and had been six months in residence.
A fee of $4 was charged for these licenses. Timber dues
were charged upon the timber cut and these dues were
applied in payment of the purchase money of the land
with a refund of any money collected in excess of the
purchase money, less 10 per cent. for collection. Any
person who is familiar with the history of lumbering and
settlement in Canada during the period from 1856 to 1866
will know the bitter feelings that existed becween the
settler and the timber licensee, and how the Department
was beset with criticism and difficulties in respect to
clashing of interests and the providing of a remedy.
Settler’s licenses apparently did not meet the difficulty
and the issue of them greatly fell off until they
entirely disappeared.

In 1866 new Crown timber regulations were made.
Sales by public auction were provided tor. These sales
were to be held on the 1oth January and on the toth
July each year, or any other date that the Commis.
sioner might fix. The limits were to be offered at an
upset price of $4 per mile, the highest bidder to have
the berth. If there was no bidding the berth was grant-
ed to any person paying the upset price. The Com-
missioner could sell between the dates of auction sales
at $4 per mile to any person who applied for a berth.
One berth only could be sold to each applicant. Timber
licenses were to expire on the 3oth April in each year.
Ground rent was continued at 50 cents per mile. No
licenses were to issue on a smaller computation than 8
sguare miles, The ground rent was to ircrease annu-
ally on berths not worked until it reached 23s. 4d. ($4.67)
per mile. When occupation took place it reverted to
500 feet of
timber or 20 sawlogs had to be made every year for
each mile of the limit ; renewals of licenses were pro-
vided for if the regulations and payments were com-
plied with. Applications for renewai had to be made
in writing every year before the ist July. Transfers
could not be made if dues were owing.

We have now come to the period of Confederation
which was consummated on the ist July, 1867.Since then
each province has been free to manage its own affairs
and enact such laws and regulations as would best
carry out the policy suited to its circumstances. It is
a great testimony to the wisdom of the Legislators of by-
gone years that the Crown Timber Act of 1849 has re-
mained the charter, so to speak, of the timber licensing
systems of Ontario and Quebec, very few amendments
having been made to it in either province. The great
strength of the Act is that it only lays down broad
principles, leaving the management of the Crown
domain to be carried out by regulations as experience
teaches or emergency requires. It may be worth
while to state the broad principles laid down. (1) The
Commissioner of Crown Lands may issue licenses,
which licenses are to cover all kines of timber during
their currency; (2) licenses are to run for one year only
and then absolutely determine; (3) proper returns of
the cutting of the timber are to be made; and (4)
timber cut in trespass is liable to seizure and con-
fiscation.

Since Confederation the act has been amended as
follows : Timber on road allowances is declared to be
covered by the timber license; lots which have been
sold to actual settlers are to remain in license until
proof of settlement duties is filed in the Department ;
the Commissioner of Crown Lands can sell those timbers
on pulp concessions which are not covered by the conces-

’ sion and nopulp concessions can be granted for a longer

period than 21 years, and most recent and most im-
portant, pine timber and spruce on lands under license
must be manufactured in Canada. It will be seen that
the points touched by the Act are not’ very numerous,
but the field left for legislation is enormous—just listen
to the language of the Act, ‘‘The Commissioner of
Crown Lands may issue timber licenses subject to
such rates and conditions, regulations and restrictions
as may from time to time be established by tke Lieu-
tenant Governor in Council.” No attempt is made to
define what sort of conditions or restrictions may be
imposed, anything that comes within the meaning
of these words can be done by regulation. This
discretion taken in combination with the absolute
termination and legal death of every timber license

within one year of its birth, places almost unlimited
power in the hands of the Crown.
when our good friends over the border undertook to
treat us, as we thought, unfairly, and th® Government
of Canada could not act without making matters worse
and perhaps ruining the lumber trade, we were able, by
passing an Order-in-Council, to attach a condition to all
licenses to the effect that timber cut on Crown lands
must be manufactured in Canada, thereby transfer-

timber, which made some needed provisions with
respect to parties who might be inclined to shirk their
fair share of the expense and responsibility.

On the 28th May, 1869, the Crown Timber Regula-
tions of 1866 were abrogated and new regulations
were made by the Lieutenant-Governor-in-Council of
the province of Ontario. To a great extent the old
regulations were incorporated in the new; of course
some new clauses were added at that time, and others
have been added since.

The most important clause in
the new regulations was the requiring of survey, ex-
ploration and valuation of the timber limits before they
were offered for sale. Then due advertisement of the
sale, which was to be by public auction and to the high-
est bidder. Another important change was the increase
of timber dues from 50 cents per thousand B. M. to 75
cents per thousand and ofthe ground rent from 50 cents
per mile to $2 per mile. Another was the requiring of
a more elaborace system of returns, with power to the
Commissioner to have an inspection made of the books,
records, etc., if fraud in returns were suspected.

In 1887 the regulations were again amended _ by in-
creasing the timber dues from 75 cents per thousand to
$1 per thousand and the ground rent from $2 per mile
to $3 per mile. =

In 189e for the first time the sale held in that year
by authority of Order-in-Council covered only the pine
timber and the dues were again increased for the pur-
poses of that sale to $1.25 per thousand.

In 1903, for the purposes of the timber sale held in
that year, the dues were increased from $1 per thous.
and to $2 per thousand and on square timber from $20
to $50 per thousand feet cubic, and the ground rent
from $3 to $5 per mile. Regulations affecting the last
three sales were passed fixing a time limit beyond which
licenses were not to be renewed of from 10 to 15 years.
Regulations have also been made to the effect that
lands located or sold are to pass automatically out of
the timber license for anything but the pine timber on
the day of sale. Regulations have also been passed that
require Licensees to give sufficient timber for local saw-
mills upon being paid the fair value of the same. Regu.
lations have also been made requiring that pine and
spruce shall be manufactured in Canada, which of
course have been crystallized into legislation, and
more recently regulations have been passed requiring
that hemlock bark shall be used in Canada.

Having traced the history of the license system, and
given you the substance of the recent amendments to
the Ontario laws and regalations, I shall now proceed
to refer to the different laws and regulations pre-
vailing in the Dominion and Newfoundland. I shall re-
fer to these in a general way and briefly. It is only

necessary to call your attention to the principles of the
systems and to the wide divergencies of the laws and
regulations. The licensing systems prevailing in Ont-
ario and Quebec have as I have said a common origin
and have run nearly along parallel lines.

The New Brunswick licensing system dates back to
the 26th August, 1817, when the Lieutenant Governor
in Council framed a set of rules with regard to timber
license. One interesting provision in these early regu-
lations was that licenses were to be giving only to
British subjects. No duesappear to have been charged
at that time.

Nova Scotia had no timber licensing system until
quite recently and the British Columbia system is com-
paratively modern and is based somewhat on our sy-
stem, differing very widely, however, in the matter of
tenure and the rates of ground rent and dues. The
Dominion system is also based largely on the Ontario
system with such modifications as different circum-
stances have called for. I have not succeeded in
tracing the Newfoundland system back to its origin.

In Ontario the Commissioner may issue licenses after
sale by public auction, a reserve bid being fixed but
not made public. The licenses are annual and term-
inate on the goth April in each year, but by regulations
arerenewable. Ground rent runs from $3 to $5 per
mile and is subject to increase or decrease. Dues on
pine timber run from $1 to $2 per thousaud feet and are
subject to increase or decrease. Pine logs, pulpwood
and hemlock bark are required to be manufactured in
Canada. Fire rangers are placed upon all licensed
lands, one half of the expense being paid by the Licensee
and the other half by the Government. These rangers
are selected by the Licensees, $1 per mile is charged
for transfer bonus-on limits that are transferred.

In Quebec the Commissioner may issue licenses after
sale by public auction. Limits have to be advertised
for thirty days if of an extensive character, and small
limits for fifteen days only. There is an upset price
made public at the date of sale. The licenses termin-
ate on the goth April each year and are renewable by
regulation. Ground rent is $3 per mile and is subject
toincrease ordecrease. Dues on pinerun from 80 cents
to $1.30 per thousand, subject to increase or decrease.
There is no restriction as to the exportation of logs
except that pulpwood must pay 25 cents per cord
additional if exported. Fire rangers are appointed by
the Government upon the recommendation of the
Licensees and a tax called a fire tax is charged upon
the limit to pay the expenses of the fire ranging.

In New Brunswick the Commissioner may issue
licenses. The mode of disposal is that applicants are
required to petition for the limit they wish to obtain
and to deposit in the Department $20 per mile. The
limit is then advertised in the Royal Gazette for 14 days,
after which it is put up at public auction and if the
applicant is the highest bidder he gets the limit. It
somebody else bids more he gets the limit and the appli-
cant gets back his money. Limits are not to ex,
ceed The ground rent is $8 per
mile and subject to increase. Dues on sawlogs are
$1.25 per thousand, subject to increase. There does
not appear to be any fire ranging system. The measure-
ment of logs is made by Government cullers. There
does not appear to be any restriction as to exportation.

In Nova Scotia there is no provision for sale by
auction. The Governor in Council may issue leases to
cut timber, which leases are to be for a period of 20
years, renewable for another 20 years if conditions are
complied with. The price is to be 40 cents an acre—
not annual—if timber below the diameter of 10 inches
is not cut. If timber is cut below ro inches down to 5
inches the price is 50 cents per acre. The only pro-
vision for public auction is where there are adverse ap-
plications for the same territory. If lands are not
suitable for agricultural purposes they may be leased
for pulp purposes as arrangements are made with the
government.

In British Columbia limits may be sold by public
tender and are to go to the highest bidder. Annual
ground rent $160 per mile; dues 50 cents per thousand
feet B.M. Ifa mill of certain capacity is erected ona
limit the ground rent is reduced to $96 per mile. Dues
are abated by one-halt on lumber or timber that is ex-
ported from the province. The license or lease runs

it is presumed that dues cannot be changed during that
period. There is another class of licenses called
‘Special License,” which cover only an area of 640 7
acres. These are issued at the discretion of the Com-
missioner, for a period not exceeding 5 years, and may
be renewed at the discretion of the Commissioner, —
Annual ground rent on these licenses runs from $115 to __
$140. There is another system of licensing called
“Hand Licenses,” which are given without competition
and it is presumed are intended to cover only small —

Licenses may be granted for fifty years or such further
period as may be deemed necessary. Licensees must —
erect a saw mill and work his limit ; sawmill to be
capable of cutting 1,000 feet every 24 hours. No per-

or cut them by agreement on any other limit than his
own. Pulp limits may be granted by the Lieutenant-
Governor-in-Council; not more than 150 miles to any

99 years or longer. There is a bonus of $5 per mile __
and ground rent of $2 per mile, and the timber is sub-
ject to 50 cents per thousand feet B. M. Pulp conces-
sionaires have to expend $20,000 ir plant. All kinds
of timber, pulpwood, etc., must be manufactured in

REST MANAGEMENT IN ONTARIO. *
-By Joun BERTRAM.

The most important feature within recent years of
forest management im Ontario has been the setting
apart of certain areas of suitable territory as ‘‘Forest

Reserves.” :

_The first, though not spoken of strictly as a forest
reserve, was created in 1893 as the Algonquin Park,
with an area of I, 109,383 acres, situated on the height

of land between the Ottawa river and its tributaries and
the Georgian Bay waters. Then followed under the
_ Forest Reserve Act in 1899 the Eastern Forest Reserve,

being part of Townships north of the city of Kingston,
' containing about 80,000 acres of land that had been
_ lumbered over and afterwards burned, but now carry-

_ ing a heavy crop of young pine. In 1900 by Order-in-

- Counci! the Sibley Reserve was set apart, being a

_ portion of the Township of Sibley and including Thunder

_ Cape, 45,000 acres more or less. On January 11th,
ae eee there was created the Temagami Reserve, com-

rising 1,408,000 acres, within which is the beautiful

Scan the same name. Most of the territory in this
reserve is still covered with virgin pine and is of great

value. An extension to this reserve west and north

made on the 16th December, 1903, adding 2,368,-
res, so that now the area of the Temagami

Reserve i is 3,776,000 acres. The total area so set apart
in the Province of Ontario being 5,010,383 acres.

_ Nothing but words of commendation can be used in

king of the wise and far-sighted policy of the
Ontario Government in having inaugurated this policy,
and it should be followed up by a still greater extension

-of the system, as fast as exact information is acquired

by the Bureau of Forestry.

‘There i is still a very large area of country extending
tothe west and north from the last named reserve,
i; cae both sides of the watershed between the Georgian

and James Bay waters, quite unfit, in a general
for grain growing, but well suited for the growth
conifers, by which it is at present largely covered.
e land is in possession of the Provincial Government
only a small portion of it is under license. Within

rea stands a large proportion of the white and red
not yet sold, and how to ceal with this remnant of
was once a mighty forest in Ontario is the press-

g question. It would be quite superfluous to offer an
nent before the Pearuimnion iets Association

ests ; the extension, therefore, of the present

} ves to cover the pine bearing territory north and
outh of the watershed is self evident. The height of
land. runs in an uneven line in a westerly direction from
_ the sources of the Montreal River to the source of the
as Mississaga River, which flows to the Georgian Bay,
ay and within this area, north and south of the line, is the
as yet unsold pine. The general character of this
great territory makes it far more valuable for a forest
erve »than it can ever be for agricultural purposes,
there should be no hesitation in placing it in the

the growth of inferior and less valuable varieties. It is
manifest that if the red and white pine only on a berth
are sold and the term of fifteen years retained, when
the berth at the end of the time comes back into the
hands of the government it will be covered only by
inferior varieties growing with accelerated speed, hav-
ing been freed from the overshadowing influence of
the pine. No special formula of treatment can be
given, as each berth will present a different problem,
but any intelligent’forester can work towards the de-
sired end and it is for the Department to see that in
their selling policy this is kept steadily in mind.

There is another view with reference to forest re-
serves that although occasionally spoken of has not
been seriously discussed, that is, the desirability of ex-
tending the reserves to land now under license to lum-
bermen. The preservation of young growing pine is
attracting year by year more of the thoughtful lumber-
man’s attention ; the old notion of pine not succeeding
pine is passing away, anda keen sense of the value of
yOung pine trees coming up again after the original
forest has been cut down, is now prevalent. There can
be no question of selling land to settlers that is fit for
cultivation ; but because a license has been sold
covering the district which is more fit for forest growth
than farming is an additional reason why it should be
retained for that purpose, and placed in the forest re-
serve permanently. No question can then come up
between the lumbermen and the settler which hitherto
has led to so much bad feeling. Any lands so reserved
can remain in the hands of the licensee subject to any
reasonable change in the regulations the Department
may deem it_wise to impose. Good judgement and a
close examination of the districts would be necessary
together with a general policy governing large areas.
A patch of reserve here and there taken out of licensed
lands is not what is thought of, but when the general
character of a district is found suitable then this !phase
of forest management may come up for consideration.

Speaking of reservations so far, it has been looking
to the propogation of white and red pine, but there is
another question of great interest to the province. The
height of land between Georgian Bay and the great
Northern Basin, and which is the back-bone of Ontario,
extends from the sources of the rivers running into
Georgian Bay and Lake Huron around the north end of
Lake Nepigon and westward; the prevailing timber
being spruce. This region has been ravaged by fire
from time to time, the prevailing timber is small, the
land utterly unfit for cultivation, and it has been looked
upon as a wilderness, under no kind of surveillance, and
liable to be set on fire by any wandering intruder. Is
it not time that this vast territory should be brought
under an efficient system of fire protection? Let
alone, it will only go from bad to worse and probably,
in time, from recurring fires, become a veritable wilder-
ness. There is at present supposed to be a large
quantity of merchantable timber and pulpwood growing
on it, and pending the question of making it a vast
forest reserve, which does not require an immediate
decision, it would surely be in the interests of the
province to find out what timber is on it and to take
immediate steps to have it brought under the system of
provincial fire protection.

The only other question to be touched on in this
paper is one that is dimly in the minds of many people
in this province and probably also in other provinces;
and that is what should be done with a very consider-
able area of land in the Dominion suitable for both
farming and forestry, of which the district of Muskoka
may be taken asatype. Muskoka is a beautiful and
healthy country with a bracing’ and invigorating
climate, mostly hilly, with innumerable streams and
lakes of clear water abounding with fish and game, an
excellent example of the features of the country found
within the Laurentian range, the hills, as a rule,not rising
more than a few hundred feet and covered with trees.
Between thirty and forty years back, while large
lumbering operations were being carried on, this
district was opened to settlers, and while it cannot be
denied that many of them have done well, still a number
of abandoned farms can be seen by anyone driving
through the district, and many settlers while re-
maining there and being averse to giving up their
holdings are fighting an uphill battle on account of the
character of the soil on which they are located.

The.

15

district being of Laurentian rock has all the character-
istics of the formation; the rock having been subject to
attrition for untold ages, has given a constitution to the
soil very different from the limestone series or from the
ordinary alluvial deposits. In many circumscribed
spots of greater or less extent as good soil can be
found as anywhere, but they are limited in extent, the
general character of the country being better fitted for
tree growth than for agriculture. The good soil is
splendidly adapted for the growth of clover and timothy,
potatoes and roots of all kinds; the grass will produce
the very best cheese and butter, the milk being rich and
delicious.

It is manifest that a country of this kind, which has
a population of thrifty farmers, cannot be depopulated
even if it could be shown that better financial results
would accrue to the holder if it were all kept under
forest ; the conditions point rather to mixed holdings
of greater extent than at present prevail. Instead of
trying to make a living as a farmer only, the proprie-
tor should be encouraged to acquire larger acreage
and become a forester as well asa farmer. An ideal
condition for the district would be for the proprietor to
own Say 1000 or 1200 acres ; cultivate the really good
part wherever found within his boundaries and keep
the rest of it in forest. A knowledge of forestry could
be acquired by reading, or it could be imparted by
professors or students giving lectures and lessons on
best methods, What a wonderful change would be
brought about in the productiveness of the forest if this
were carried out. Trees could be planted where needed,
poor varieties cut out, thick patches thinned, and the
product utilized in many ways, merchantable logs or
trees sold from time to time, and the whole forest look-
ed upon as the most valuable crop the nature of the soil
could produce. Authentic statistics can be obtained,
particularly in Germany, of the net value of forest
product extending over long periods. The writer will
give an instance which came under his own observation
in 1902 when visiting Scotland. A patch of spruce
forest containing eleven acres had just been cut down
and sold en bloc to the owner of a portable saw mill.
The timber was fifty years old, and so from the amount
received the proceeds were easily calculated, and
it was found, taking the opinion of the agent of the
estate as to the rental value of that particular land, that
the timber had given three times as much rent per
annum than if the land had been rented for agricultural
purposes. Of course it was not good land for cropping,
but well suited for young spruce as an examination
of the yearly growth fully testified and by which the
age of the trees was tested.

The occupation of the forester and farmer would ap-
peal to many people and with personal care and atten-
tion would become a profitable pursuit, pleasant and
agreeable, away from the hurly burly of city life. Per-
sonal attention to this style of forest would give amuch
larger growth of feet per acre than in a forest reserve
which could not possibly receive the same care. Ina
minor degree there are many farmers in old settlements
who would find it more profitable to devote a part of
their farms to tree growth. All uneven or hilly land
should be planted, the main business being farming
and tree growth secondary, just as in the northern dis-
tricts sylviculture should be the main business and
farming subsidiary. There is another feature of forest
management in townships partly settled which should
be considered. Very uften abandoned farms are sold
or offered for sale by the Municipality for taxes and
also denuded lands on which there is no clearing. It
would be well to give the township power to acquire
these lands and hold them as a Municipal property ; in
time they would become valuable and a source of in-
come. Let them be held as township forest reserves,
and to show how the idea is growing of the value of
young trees, Mr. Thos. Southworth, of the Forestry
Bureau,has had application already for some townships
seeking to acquire this very power; give it to them by

all means, it would help to increase the value of all
timbered lands and give a new view of the worth ot our
rocky back country and help transform what isin many
cases looked upon as a worthless wilderness into one
of the most beautifnl of all nature’s scenes, a country
covered with forest.

The incidental but very real value of keeping a con-
siderable area in every district under forest cover has
not been touched upon, as it does not come within the
scope of this paper.

LUMBERING AND FORESTRY.

Much space in this number is given toa re-
port of the proceedings of the Canadian For-
estry Association meeting in Toronto, a perusal
of which will repay any of our readers. The
paper by Mr. White is a splendid resume of

- the Crown timber regulations and should be
preserved for reference by all lumbermen;
Mr. Bertram’s paper is a valuable addition
to forestry literature.

Time has brought about remarkable changes
in the management and manipulation of

~ the forests. A few years ago the hewers

of ti rber in this country gave no thought what-
ever to future growth; to-day forestry and
lumbering go hand in hand. The owners of
timber land recognize as never before the
rs wisdom and necessity of protecting and assist-
ing the growth of young trees. Old ideas are

‘ being discarded, and new methods adopted
; conforming with the requirements as dictated
by a closer and more intelligent study of the

the earlier theories.
posed that, when the land was cut over, the
white pine was invariably succeeded by a crop
of inferior trees, but the dense growths of young
pine now to be found on cut-over lands prove
the fallacy of this theory.
The advice of the modern forester to the
_ lumberman is to be conservative in his oper-
ations. The day for striving to rid the land
___ of its timber as quickly as possible has gone
ne by. The perpetuation of the lumber industry
_- demands that more consideration be given
forest preservation, and the application of meth-
ods to that end will result in greater returns
to the owner of the land than has generally
been supposed. The ideal method is to cut
each year only the equivalent to the growth of
the timber. This plan, we are glad to know,
is now being carried out by Mr. John Bertram,

tere ro
wf ee
oe ee Resins Oy “at.
e ees

of the Collins Inlet Lumber Company, whose
operations stand as a worthy example to other
lumbermen. Mr. Bertram cuts only the accre-
tion of the timber, and, to use his own words,
expects to be able to continue lumbering in-
definitely so far as his timber supply is con-
cerned. ;

Little is yet known in this country from act-
ual experience regarding the rapidity of forest
growth, but the obserations of a few men who
may be termed leaders in the science of forestry
furnish a basis on which calculations may be
made with some degree of accuracy. Opinions
of such experts are crystallized in the report of
the Ontario Forestry Commission. Here it
is stated that a young tree which would cut
only one log 8 inches in diameter and 16 feet
board measure would, if allowed to stand for
thirty years, grow in diameter at the rate of
one inch in five years (in some cases the growth
is as rapid as one inch in two years), and hence
would give a butt log of 14 inches diameter, 16
feet lony, or 100 feet of lumber, board measure.
In addition to this, however, the tree would
have grown sufficient in height to give two
more logs, one say of 11 inches and one of 8
inches diameter, both 16 feet long, measuring
respectively 49 feet and 16 feet board meas-
ure, or a total for the tree of 164 feet board
measure. Thus a tree which would require
forty years to produce 16 feet board measure
of merchantable timber, would, in the thirty
following years, have increased to 164 feet
board measure. This is considered the period
of greatest relative growth. After attaining a
diameter sufficient to make a 14 inch butt log,
it is estimated that the tree would continue to
gain at the rate of 3% per cent. per annum.
These calculations show the necessity of pro-
tecting the young growth of pine, and are re-
commended to the consideration of lumbermen
and others in the possession of land not suited
for agricultural purposes.

THE REFUSE OF SAW-MILLS. Pe
Notwithstanding the modern methods and
improved machinery which are now employed
in the manufacture of timber, there is still a
vast amount of refuse around saw mills which
is simply wasted, and in many cases an expense
is involved in getting rid ot it. Too much
emphasis cannot be placed on the necessity
of utilizing this refuse in some manner when-
ever it is at all possible todo so. The loca-
tion of a mill determines very largely whether
the refuse can be profitably disposed of or
whether it must be destroyed in the cheapest
possible manner. A certain manufacturer of
lumber on the Georgian Bay has carefully con-
sidered the question of utilizing the edgings
and other small stuff around his mill, and with
almost incredible results. He claims that the
revenue derived from the sale of sucl. material
now covers the cost of operating his mill. In
this case the situation is favorable and it is
doubtful whether many other mills could ac-
complish as good results in this direction. An-
other manufacturer we have in mind determin-
ed to endeavor to utilize what had previously
been waste material, but it was found that the
cost of labor, which was the chief item of ex-
pense, was greater than the returns from the

ber lands.

sale of the material. The extent to which
waste product of a saw mill can be utilized is
limited to the point at which there is a margin
of profit accruing from the operation. There is, —
however, a large quantity of material which is 4
burned or otherwise destroyed which might in —
many cases be profitably utilized, and the best —
method of doing this is a question to which —
millmen cannot give too much consideration. —

The meeting was called to order on Wed-
nesday afternoon by Vice-President A. M.
Stewart, of Thornhill and Morden, who occu-
pied the chair. A telegram was read from
President J. L. Campbell, of Melita, stating
that owing to recent serious illness his physician
had forbidden him from attempting the trip to
Winnipeg, in the face of the storm prevailing.
Telegrams were also received from other mem-
bers,including some of the directors, who were
unable to reach the city in consequence of the
snow blockade on some of the branch railway
lines. Much sympathy was expressed for the
president, who is an exceedingly popular mem-
ber, on account of his recent severe illness.

The first business taken up after reading of
minutes was the presentation of reports of
officers. Secretary Isaac Cockburn read the
report of the president, which had been for-
warded by mail. After reviewing the work
and scope of the Association, the address con-
cluded as follows :

PRESIDENTS ADDRESS.

It was never the intention of the promoters
of this association to found a combine or mono-
poly. The objects in view were to improve the
business’ and financial standing of the retail
dealer, to enable him to give the public a better
service, to insure him a fair and reasonable re-
turn for his labour and capital, to enable him to
live and meet his obligations without unduly en-
hancing the cost of lumber to the consumer.
Surely, these are laudable objects. That the
founders have not been altogether dissappointed
we have only to look at the results. Where will
you find larger, better and more varied stock in
better condition than in the retail yards of this
country? What class of business men gives so
large a measure of financial accommodation to
its customers? Surely, these are very great and
substantial advantages, especially in a country
such as this where the settler for the most part
is so largely dependent upon the generous treat-
ment of the business man. And this favorable
cordition of the trade has been brought about
without unduly enhancing the price to the con-
sumer. I submit without fear of successful con-
tradiction that no other similar business man in
this country has so small a percentage of profit
on his goods as the retail lumberman. I am per-
fectly satisfied that were the whole question of
gains and losses submitted to a committee of
disinterested business men, not only would this
contention be sustained, but also it would be
found that the percentage of profit is not higher

than that obtained before this association was

called into existence. True, lumber has advanced
in price during the last few years; so have land

and wheat and horses. In lumber, as in these,
the price is fixed by the immutable law of supply
and demand. At no time in the history of this
country has the demand for building material
been so great as in recent years. This great de-
mand could only be met by increased energy and
consequent increased cost of production. These
conditions and these alone are responsible for
the increase in price. Notwithstanding this, I
think it better to have met the demand, even «t
greater cost, than not to have met it at all.

It is true that men connected with our associa-
tion have used their best endeavours, vainly, I
am glad to say, to make it a machine for the
establishment of a combine or monopoly. Their
propositions were vigorously and_ successfully
opposed by men of loftier minds, who saw in-
iquity in the attempt and danger to the well-being
of our association. Foiled in their designs they
sought revenge by trying to ruin through calumny
what they could not destroy through bad counsel.
These men succeeded in loud voiced acclaims in
agitating the public mind. Their utterances were
so extravagant, so exaggerated, so wide of the
facts, that had they not mentioned this associ-
tion by name, we would have been forced to the
conclusion that they did not mean us at all.”

SECRERARY'S REPORT.

Secretary Cockburn in his annual report, noted
the prosperity evidenced by the finances of the
association, which now has a yard membership
of 498. The honorary membership stands at go.
These figures show an increase of 155 active and
27 honorary members during 1903. General har-
mony prevailed among the members although
there had been a small percentage out of harmony
for unduly cutting prices. Continuing he said:
“Tt is well known that our by-laws do not per-
mit of more than a charge of 20 per cent. over
the wholesale cost to be the price, and I have no
knowledge of any price list exceeding that as a

cash basis, and I do know of price lists which are
at less than that on that basis. It has been al-
leged that an exorbitant price has been charged
in some instances by isolated members, but I
have striven without success to discover any such
case. However, this may have possibly occurred,
and with the considerable membership we have
there may be some one individual member dis-
posed to take an undue advantage of the unthink-
ing, but it does not follow from the rules in the
by-laws of the association that any one member
is privileged or can debar another member from
selling lumber on a basis of 20 per cent. over the
wholesale cost at any one point. I should much re-
gret to find than any member would be dishonor-
able enough to overcharge his customer when

opportunity offers itself. In the various business
spheres there have been found persons who would
turn aside from probity and fair dealing to take
undue advantage in the matter of gain when
afforded opportunity. You can rest assured that
were I to receive evidence of a transaction of that
nature I would speedily bring it before the direc-
tors and expulsion would follow. It is scarcely
fair to circulate statements of that nature and
withhold information as to the culpable party.

In the interests of the advancement and de-
velopment of the country the Canadian Pacific
Railway Co. have made a deliverance on the
necessity of cheap lumber to be provided for the
intending settler. With this we are in accord
with them and are most desirous that it may be
made possible, and with this purpose I would
most: respectively suggest that the railway com-
pany take into their serious consideration the
great part devolving upon them in bringing about
a reduction in the cost of lumber to the con-
sumer, and not necessarily. by their embarking
into the lumber business either as manufacturers

or otherwise, but instituting a more liberal and

reasonable lumber tariff.

Sir Thomas Shaughnessy recently in delivering
an address at the Canadian Clubin Toronto, spoke
as follows: “Transportation was the greatest
question of every community. In this country,
many portions of which are unpopulated, trans-
portation becomes of paramount importance.
Nothing exercises so important an influence upon
the progress and at times upon the Sey of a
country as the transportation system.”

Mr. Whyte having already given emphasis to the
importance of cheap lumber in the encourag-
ment of the settlement and development of the
country should not now be slow to remedy the
existing responsibility of the C.P.R. Co. for the
stupendous lumber tariff in force by causing at
once to be made a revision of the same with a
general overhauling and cutting down process
and lowering of the tariff rates upon lumber.
With this being done great will be the blessing
and relief to the lumber dealer, the settler and
the country at large, otherwise most assuredly
so long as the C.P.R. continues the dominant rail-
way for the carriage of lumber in the western
country the lumber must be high in cost, except-
ing in districts where the railway haulage is short
indeed.

I have been glancing over the lumber tariff
somewhat, but before referring to it I would
first direct your attention to the bald statement
of a newspaper of Vancouver announcing that the
C.P.R. had reduced the tariff rate on lumber $2.50
per thousand feet. Of course this was something
pleasing to send forth to the public, but I am
sorry to say misleading in the extreme, and you
will be surprised how little change really did take
place in the way of reduction. Hitherto the ship-
ments from the coast were subject to a tariff of
4oc. per 100 lbs. upon fir lumber, and upon cedar
and other lumber soc. per 100 lbs. The tariff has
now changed upon cedar and other lumber to 4oc.
per 100 Ibs., upon dimension and the lower grades
up to that of ship-lap, being the same rate as that
of fir, but upon grades of cedar and other lumber
better than ship-lap grade the former rate of 50c.
per 100 Ibs. continues in force. The coast manu-
facturers have issued a circular to the retail
dealers intimating that they have decided to re-
duce ship-lap and common grades of lumber $1.00
per thousand feet, the better grades remaining at
former prices, and the freight tariff, I am informed,
remained just what it was on the better grade
of lumber. It is not necessary for me to state to
you that the quality of lumber that has been re-
duced in price comes in competition with the
dimension and ship-lap of the ‘mountain, the
pine and spruce lumber, and which being of less
haulage have been mostly sought after by the
dealers. I have been told that the mountain manu-
-facturers are reducing their lumber to the extent

of $1.00 per thousand feet in the hope that the C.
P.R. will reduce the tariff upon that lumber to the
extent of 50c. or 6oc. per thousand feet. This
will show you how dissappointed has been the
looked for reduction on the cost of lumber and
that the C.P.R. have given away very little, and
that apparently very reluctantly. The freight
charge is high, and necessarily is made high to
the dealer, when a freight of $8.00 or $10.00 per
thousand has to be added to the mill price at place
of shipment.

Then again there appears to be an apparent un-
fair and unjust discrepancy existing in a tariff
upon lumber pertaining to several branch lines
upon a haulage of similar miles on the main line
7c. per 100 lbs. more than to Otterbourne, having
a similar mileage. This extra charge on dressed
lumber is $1.40 and undressed lumber $2.10 per
thousand feet. Kehoe, 123. miles from Portage
la Prairie, the extra charge is 8%c. per 100 lbs.
more than to Emerson, a similar mileage, being
extra per thousand feet dressed lumber $1.70, and
undressed lumber, $2.55. Macdonald, 10 miles
from Portage la Prairie, extra tariff 3c. per 100
Ibs., more than to Poplar Point, which is 16 miles
from Portage la Prairie, extra cost per thou-
sand feet 60c. upon dressed lumber, goc. per
thousand on rough lumber. Rapid City from
Brandon, 33 miles, tariff 44%4c. more than to Mel-
bourne, 35 miles, being extra cost per thousand
feet, 90c. on dressed lumber and $1.35 for un-
dressed. Miniota on the Miniota branch, 77 miles
from Brandon, extra cost 6c. more than to Port-
age la Prairie similar mileage, extra per thou-
sand feet, dressed lumber $1.20, and undressed,
$1.80.

The Kirkella branch is much higher per nae
age than upon the Miniota branch, a car from
a point on the Canadian Northern Railway to
Rocanville on that line the freight charges amount
to equal to $8.00 per thousand feet having a mile-
age on the Canadian Northern Railway of 172
on spruce lumber shipped over the Canadian
miles with a toc. rate and a mileage of 147 miles
on the C.P.R. with a 14c. rate. Then a car shipped
to a point on the Kirkella branch from British .
Columbia costing at the mill $154.97 and the rail-
way freight on the same $261, totalling $415.97,
showing the nett manufacturer to receive 32.45 per
cent., Railway Co. 54.66 per cent., retail dealer
12.89 per cent. The following is a memo show-
ing the disproportionate charges of the C. P.R.
Northern Railway and that of the C.P.R. being
shipped to points on the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way:

Taking the comparative charges of the above
on a basis of 100 miles for each line of railway,
the Canadian Northern Railway will be found to
have charged a rate of $5.85 per 100 lbs. on 100
miles while the C.P.R. Co. charge II I-2c. per 100
lbs. on 100 miles, or being a higher charge of 96

or equal per thousand feet by the Canadian Nor-
thern $1.17, and that of the C.P.R. $2.30 per thou-
sand feet, or an excess charge of the C.P.R. Co.
for the same mileage of $1.13 per thousand feet
or 96 I-2 per cent. greater.

< As to the undue cost of lumber on the part of
the manufacturers, I do not think there need be
a any concern, when it is taken into consideration
the large and varied manufacturing interests, hav-
___ ing a storing disposition on the part of manufac-
turers to prevent an accumulation of lumber in
stock. Nor need there be cause for alarm as to
the supply of lumber, which will be found to be
quite large enough to meet all demands. At the
end of the lumbering season of 1903 there was
estimated in the lumber yards of the mills to be
about 140,000,000 feet and perhaps 80,000,000 feet

the high price of lumber was dealt with. The
farmers blamed the lumber dealers for this,
but it was easily shown that the enormous rail-
way rates were the cause of the high cost of
lumber. The dealers claimed they were selling
their stocks on a margin of 15 to 20 per cent.
On this small margin they were obliged to
carry large stocks and often also sell on long
credit dates in order to assist and accommo-
date their customers. The freight charges,
which represent a large portion of the cost of
lumber, had to be paid in spot cash, while they
were obliged to sell on credit largely. On this
basis their margin of profit was very small.

The election of officers followed. John L.
Campbell was re-elected president and D. E.
Sprague, 0: Winnipeg, was made vice-presi-
dent. Three vacancies on the Board of
Directors were filled by the election of the fol-
lowing : G. B. Housser, of Portage la Prairie,
J.E. Parrott, of Solsgirth, and G.E. Davidson,
of Manitou. :

On resuming on Thursday morning the first
matter taken up was the question of a mutual

fire insurance system for retail lumbermen.

that honorary members should be dropped
from membership. He contended that as this
was a retail association it should be composed
solely of retailers, and he charged that the
wholesalers had had too much voice in direct-
ing the affairs of the association in the past.
Several members seemed to agree with this ;
others wanted the situation to remain as it
was, but the consensus of opinion seemed ta
be in favor of having the wholesalers present
at the meetings and allowing them to take
part in the debates, but not permitting them
to vote. The prevailing opinion was that
every effort should be made to work in har-
mony with the wholesale manufacturers, as
their interests were largely identical.

An amendment was moved by Mr. Clark to
the effect that honorary members should be
debarred from holding office or voting, and
that they should be relieved of the payment of
membership fees. The amendment was car-
ried practically unanimously. The honorary
members will therefore remain on the member-

ship roll, but will be barred from voting and —

holding office. In this connection it may be
noticed that the manufacturers have recently
formed an association of their own, independ-

ent of the retail association. In the future, no
doubt, it will be found advisable to hold the
annual meeting of the two societies—wholesale
ani retail associations—at the same time, so
that a conference could take place on any ques-
tions requiring joint action.

A resolution to the effect that membership
should be refused to any applicant who had
less than $5,000 capital to invest in his busi-
ness was sat upon vigorously, and did not
come to a vote.

The last discussion took place on the ques-
tion of line yards, as introduced by the dele-
gates from the western branch associations. The
western delegates asked the association to de-
clare against line yards. A long discussion
followed and some strong speeches were made
against the line yards. Representatives of line
yards present declared that they were living
up to the rules of the association. Several
amendments and counter motions were intro-
duced, and finally a motion to postpone in-
definitely put a stop to further discussion.

On motion of Messrs. Graham and Van
Wart a recommendation to the Board of
Directors was made to increase the salary of
the secretary by the sum of $300.

An adjournment indefinitely was then carried.

TRANSMISSION ROPE.

The Consumers’ Cordage Company, of Montreal,
having received many enquiries from time to time re-
garding the relative efficiency ot three and four strand
rope, give the following reasons for the position they
take in always recommending three strand rope in pre-

erence to four strand:

in, the rope is stranded and after a time goes to pieces.
With a three strand rope this does not occur, for the
strands bear evenly.

Furthermore, the strength of four strand rope is
much inferior to that of three strand. We give you
be'ow tests of three and four strand rope made by

United States Government at the Watertown Arsenal.

There is no room for question but what three strand-

rope is also much better adapted for transmission ot

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

The feeling of hopefulness displayed by
the lumber trade is more pronounced than
at any previous time this year. As the
result of better weather, everything has a
brighter look and there are evidences of
much greater activity in the near future.
The railways are making some progress
with the movement of congested freight,
but there is still a large quantity of lumber
waiting shipment. Buying of white pine
has been quite general during the past
week, several lots in the Georgian Bay
district having changed hands at good fig-
ures. Log run is selling as high in price
as last year, and lately a disposition has
been shown to hold for an advance. For
the small quantity of unsold dry lumber on
hand high prices are being asked. Ten
and twelve inch common pine has been
marked up by some manufacturers about
$1 per thousand feet, $23 being asked for
lengths from 18 to 24 feet. Dry hemlock
and spruce are also showing a hardening
tendency, 2 x 6 in. hemlock, 12 to 14 feet
in length, being held at the mills at $12.50;
There is a strong demand for all hard-
woods, with considerable inquiry for suit-
able export stock. Prices are hardening
as the result of liberal buying and in sym-
pathy with the strong market in the United

~ volume.

States. Lath are inclined to be a little
weaker, but as building operations pro-
gress the demand will improve and prices
strengthen accordingly.

MANITOBA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA,

The outlook for the lumber business in
Western Canada is brightening. For the
first three months of this year the building
permits taken out in the city of Winnipeg
repesented in value upwards of $700,000,
which is an increase of $206,000 as com-
pared with the corresponding period of
1903. Similar activity prevails at Van-
couver, Victoria and other western points,
and there promises to be a brisk demand
for the class of lumber required for build-
ing purposes. The market is still some-
what unsettled, although a report from
British Columbia states that it has been
decided to maintain present prices not-
withstanding the abandonment of the
proposal to form a selling pool.

UNITED STATES.

More activity is exibited by the lumber
trade of the United States, and this not-
withstanding that shipments have for the
past two months been of considerable
White pine shipments from the
Mississippi and Wisconsin valley mills
amounted to 115,000,000 feet during
February, a decrease of only 6 per cent.
as compared with the same month last
year. The wholesale centres report an
increased number of enquiries for ship-
ment to New York, Philadelphia, Boston
and other eastern points, and a pronounc-
ed revival in trade this month is confident-
ly looked for. The most urgent demand
is for box lumber, although prices of No.
3 and better have become firmer since the
shortage of the new cut became generally

‘known. There is very little dry lumber of

the lower grades at the mills.

The position of hardwoods is very favor-
able, with a tendency towards higher
prices. Wisconsin birch is bringing fully
$2 a thousand more than last fall and the
inspection is less severe. Dry hardwoods
in Michigan are very scarce and the lead-
ers have advanced in value from $2 to $3
a thousand. Birch No. 2 common and
better is bringing in $23 to $25; soft elm,
$25; and rock elm $24 to $25. Maple
prices are about the same as at the close
of last year. It is estimated that 4o per
cent.of the new cut of hardwoods has been
contracted for. Long lengths of hemlock
lumber are in splendid request and mill
stocks are very light.

WEEKLY EDITION

GREAT BRITAIN.

It is not possible to report much improve-
ment in the timber trade of Great Britain.
Few contracts are being closed and there
is still a disposition to adopt a waiting
attitude. It is freely predicted that deals
will be sold at lower prices, but as
regards the smaller sizes the situation
seems to be stronger and the stock offered
is being taken somewhat freely. The
Board of Trade returns show that the trade
of the country is sound, but it is expected
that any improvement will be of slow
growth. The volume of business with
South Africa has been disappointing to
British merchants, and the financial diffi-

culties have created a feeling that caution |

will have to be observed this year to pre-
vent further disaster to those who have
been carrying heavy stocks bought at high
prices. Auction sale prices have been
lower. Two lots of 2-inch first quality
broad pine deals sold at £31 5s. per
standard, and some third quality pine, 10
and 11 feet, at roto £11. A large line

of Quebec deals, 3xg in. unassorted,
brought only £8 5s., and 2x9 in. only
£7 10s. A few lots of 3x9 in. second
quality Quebec spruce’sold at £9 15s., a
decline of 5s. as compared with the pre-
vious price. First quality 3x9 in. brought
£11 per standard. Notwithstanding the
tendency towards weakness reflected in
the above prices, we are told that import-
ers who have refrained from making their
purchases of pine deals are now realizing
that they will have to pay the increased
prices asked by shippers if they wish to
secure the stock. ‘

STOCKS AND PRICES.

John Baker, of Baker's Settlement, N.
S., expects to saw 500,000 feet of lumber

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.

(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMEBBRMAN.)

From all that can be learned, the Ottawa
district lumbermen are looking forward to
a big summer’s business. The predictions
made from time to time in these columns
bid fair to come true, at least in as far as
the American market is concerned. Said
a leading lumberman to-day : ‘‘ The Ameri-
can market looks bright, very bright.
Higher prices are being paid for low grade
lumber, and the high grade lines are
holding to their high prices. There’s no
question but what the American market is
going to take a lot of Canadian lumber
this year. As a matter of fact, we have
sold more up to date than in any previous
year.”

The same informant, however, was not
as optimistic regarding the English mar-
ket. He stated that the war situation has
caused a feeling of uneasiness in the Old
Country, and dealers are not purchasing
any heavier in Canadian lumber than they
can help. They are just securing suffi-
cient to supply immediate demands.

The Spring so far has been a favorable
one for the lumbermen. Hauling oper-
ations have been carried on several weeks
later than usual, and all the logs and
square timber have been placed at the
stream side. Every provision has been
made for a prompt movement of the logs
this Spring, and it 1s not expected that
many will be tied up, as was the case last
season on some of the Quebec streams.

The lumber industry has undergone a

_ great beom along the lower Ottawa in

the past few years. At L’Orignal, be-
low Hawkesbury, no less than four mills
have been erected. The firms interested
are Williamson & Morrison, Church &
Sons, Arthur Bell and Frank Stearns.
Although these mills do not enjoy railway
facilities, their sites as far as the river is
concerned are superior to anything on
the Quebec shore which is paralleled by
the north shore line of the C, P. R.

(EO. G. GLADMAN

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION ae

Across from L’Orignal at Calumet Mr.
George H. Perley’s mill, remodelled and
enlarged, has cut lots of lumber in recent
years.

Nearly all the small mills along the
Canada Atlantic and Canadian Pacific
Railways out of Ottawa, kept running
this winter, although the deep snow made
log hauling somewhat difficult. Along
the Hawkesbury and Rockland branches
of the Canada Atlantic, in districts where
one would seem to think all the timber
had been removed years ago, good quanti-
ties of log and squdre timber were taken
out this year.

During the past four months the Canada

- Atlantic Railway Company handled 180,-

000 saw logs and 4,000 pieces of square
timbe: from Mr. J. R. Booth’s limits along
the Madawaska. This traffic isnow at an
end. All the logs were delivered at the
Booth mill here, while the square timber
was unloaded into the St. Lawrence
at Clark’s Island. When the ice leaves
it will be rafted down to Quebec city for
export to England.

The recent thaws removed the anchor
and other ice from the channels at the
Chaudiere, and there is now a full supply
of water for the wheels. The Booth saw
mill and other concerns are running full
time on water power again.

Ex. Ald. Charles Desmarais, of Hull,
had a busy season in the bush in the
Pontiac district. He has now on hand,at
a convenient point for shipment, a large
stock of telegraph and telephone poles.
Mr. Desmarias has a contract on hand to
take out in the same district 10,000 cords
of poplar pulpwood during April, May and
June.

BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)

VANCOUVER, March 28th, 1904.—Con-
ditions in all lines of the Jumber industry
in this province are at present firm, and
there are ample indications that they will
remain so. Last year was a disastrous
one to loggers, several operators becom-
Ing bankrupt, and a large number of
camps closing down. This, with the deep
snow this winter, has caused a scarcity,
and good merchantable logs sell from $6
to $7 per thousand. Even yet there are
five feet of snow in the woods, and though
one or two camps have resumed oper-
ations, it will be another month before the
stringency is relieved.

Those writing insurapce on logs have
been heavy losers this winter. It is
estimated by Mr. W. H. Higgins, Pres-
ident of the Loggers’ Association, that
over ten million logs have been lost in the
storms which have been so prevalent in
the Gulf of Georgia and off the British
Columbia coast during past four months.

There have been some busygsessions of

Vancouver, B.C.

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION

the British Columbia Lumber and Shingle
Manufacturers’ Association during the
past week, and for a short time it looked
as if there was going to be a cut in prices.
A selling pool was talked of fer the
Association, a step further than the com-
bire in prices which has before obtained,
but this has been abandoned because the
large firm of E. H. Heaps & Company
réfused to enter. The members of the
Association met morning, noon and night
for a week, and Mr. Heaps was _inter-
viewed at his house by some mill men
prominent in the organization, and at last
the announcement was officially made that
no pool would be formed, and that every-
thing would proceed as formerly.

Prices for rough lumber range in the’

neighborhood of $13, while that for the
finished article varies. This figure has
been maintained for some time, and will
likely remain so. The demand. locally is
exceptionally brisk, the building in Van-
couver being twice as great as last year,
which was considered the best since the
city started. The supply for the North-
west will be larger than ever and the

manufacturers anticipate a busy season
with good prices.

Ontario lumbermen are becoming large-
ly interestedin this Province. Mr. W. Irwin,
of Peterboro, and Mr. G.. McCormick,
M.P. for Muskoka and Parry Sound, are
large shareholders in the Pacific Coast
Lumber Company, of Vancouver, which
has the best and most modern plant on
the coast, or perhaps in the world, and
lately another large deal was put through.
This latter was the purchase of the Kam-
loops saw mill and timber limits. Mr.
Peter Ryan, of Toronto, who was interest-
ed inthe sale of the limits, was out, as
were also the others. Mr.G. W. Fowler,
M.P. for King’s county, N.B., is to act as

manager of the company for a short while. *

Conditions in the interior of the Prov-
ince, where the manufacturers are joined
into the Mountain Lumbermen’s Associa-
tion, are as good if not better than at the
coast. They have the ever increasing
market of the Territories at their very
doors, and the most is being made of it.
A large number of mills are going up,
although this winter a few went to the

We own and operate several mills in Washington and British
Columbia, being on both sides of the ‘Imaginary Line” known
as the International Line, and it keeps our opponents in the trade
guessing how to meet us on account of the good quality of our
manufactured stock, which has been so carefully planned that
even the selection of our timber lands in years past has something

to do with the present.

We find our competing salesmen’s story to the customers has
now got to be a ‘‘song pure and simple,” which they have

learned from necessity

to sing

loudly and lustily, and is as

follows: * JUST AS GOOD AS HASTINGS,” “JUST
AS GOOD AS HASTINGS.”

While we appreciate their holding our goods as models of per-
fection, which the high standard certainly merits, still looking at
the matter from the customer’s and the consumer’s standpoint
we cannot see any advantage to you in buying an imitation when
the real article can be had through our representatives, viz :—

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN

AN ELECTRICALLY OPERATED SASH AND
DOOR FACTORY.

The new mill of the Baltimore Sash & Door
Company, at the corner of Sharp and West
streets, Baltimore, Md., is a good example of
modern methods, and illustrates the great ad-
vance made in machine installation and factory
equipment during recent years. The arrange-

ment of apparatus shows careful and skillful
planning and permits easy handling of material,
with a maximum saving of time and labor.
No space is wasted, and yet about each ma-
chine there is abundant room for operation,
together with free head-room and a noticeable
absence of the intricate belting and shafting
usually found in wood-working establishments.

and Retailer

Good light abounds everywhere. These Ob-
vious advantages are largely due to the fore-
sight of the managers of this company in
adopting a system of electric distribution of
power and awell thought out plan of motor
drive. The plan of driving larger machines
each by its own motor is skillfully combined
with group driving for lighter apparatus, the
conditions peculiar to the work to be done
being the determining factor in this division.

The mill has a present capacity of five hund-’

red doors and six hundred complete window
sashe p er day of ten hours, or approximately
one hundred and fifty thousand doors and
one hundred and eighty thousand sashes in an
ordinary working year. A specialty is made of
high grade cypress and white pine.

The main building contains two floors, the
first occupied by the door and moulding depart-
ments, while the second is largely devoted
to the manafacture of sashes. An electrically
operated elevator connects the two and provides
adequate facilities for handling the necessary
material and machinery.

Exhaust pipes over each machine collect the
sawdust and shavings and feed into a storage
tank over the boiler-house outside the main
building. In this way cleanliness is always
secured, and fuel sufficient for the power need-
ed is delivered to the boilers, practically with-
out handling and at an almost negligible
cost. Draught for this purpose is provided by
a 55 inch Sturtevant blower,mounted on a plat-
form under the ceiling of the first floor and
driven by a 42 h.p. Westinghouse open type
multipolar motor. The entire system of blower,
piping, storage tank, etc., was installed by the
Dixey Blowpipe Company, of Baltimore.

The power plant is located in a separate
building. Steam at eighty pounds pressure is
developed in a pair of horizontal return tubular
boilers, installed by the Thomas Brassher
Company, of Baltimore, and equipped with the
appliances necessary for burning sawdust fuel.
All dust and dirt of fuel are confined within
automatic feed pipes leading to the furnace.
Boiler and engine-room adjoin but are separated
by a brick partition.

A 155 h.p. Ball & Wood
simple automatic engine,
direct connected to a 100
k. w. 250 volt direct cur-
rent Westinghouse gen-
erator,is at present in ser-
vice. A second unit will
be added later, as the mill
is to he enlarged. A
marble switch-board, with
all requisite apparatus,
furnishes control for the
power and lighting cir-
cuits, which are run to
distributing panels on each
floor of the main building.
From these distributing
centers branch lines run to
the various motors and
lamps in each department.
Means are also provided
for the control of each
motor at the machine or

enclosed Westinghouse direct current Type

The accompanying illustrations represent a new
machine just brought out by the American Woodwork-
ing Machinery Company. It is intended for general

ing three knives. The journals are of large diameter,
running in long, self-oiling boxes lined with the best
babbitt metal.

The top cylinder is double belted. The bottom
cylinder is carried in heavy yoked boxes and arranged
to slide out from the working side of the machine for
sharpening and adjusting the knives. The yoke is
clamped rigidly to the frame and has a vertical adjust-

ment on gibbed ways by means of screws and worm
gearing. The lower delivery rollis carried on the same
casting, requiring no independent adjustment in chang-
ing from a double to a single surfacer.

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN

THE LUMBERMEN’S ASSOCIATION OF
ONTARIO.

The annual meeting of the Lumbermen’s
Association of Ontario was held at the Queen’s
Hotel, Toronto, on Thursday, March 17th,
succeeding a luncheon provided by the Board
of Management. Among the members and
guests present were Mr. W. D. Lummis,
president; Hon. E. J. Davis, Commissioner of
Crown Lands, and Messrs. John Bertram,
Aubrey White, Thomas Southworth, W. B.
Tindall, R. Laidlaw, J. S. Playfair, W. B.
McLean, W. P. Bull, Toronto ; John McLel-
land, Parry Sound ; James Playfair, D. L.
White, jr., and D. Turner, Midland ; Robert
Watt, Wiarton ; R. Cook, South River ; W.

T. Toner, Colling wood.
The Secretary, Mr. W. B. Tindall, read the

minutes of the previous meeting, also the

following statistical report :
STATISTICAL REPORT.

PRODUCTION OF WHITE PINE LUMBER.—The total
production of mills in North-Western Ontaric, which
embraces all mills on the Georgian Bay, Northern
Division of the Grand Trunk Railwav to Callender,and
Canadian Pacific Railway, North Bay to Rat Portage,
in 1903 was 485 million feet. The comparison with
former years is as follows: 1899, 351,000,000 feet ;
1900, 476,000,000 feet ; 1901, 466,000,000 feet ; 1902,
510,000,000 feet ; 1903, 485,000,000 feet, a decrease
between 1903 and 1902 of 25,000,000 feet.

Stocks ON HanpD.—There is in pile at the mills about
150,000,000 feet, of which 100,000,000 is sold waiting
spring delivery, and the balance is unsold. From all
I can learn there seems to be a great scarcity of the
low grade lumber, absolutely none in first hands,
and what is available being held by dealers for distri-
bution. The comparison with previous years follows :
1899, 120,000,000 feet ; 1900, 216,349,000 feet ; 1901,
181,000,000 feet ; 1902, 170,000,000 feet ; 1903, 150,-
000,000 feet.

PROBABLE PRODUCTION OF 1904 LoGs.-—I estimate
this at 420,000,000 feet.

The answers to the enquiry as to whether last
year's prices would be maintained or not, are unani-
mous that they would, and a good many are looking
fora to per cent. increase, and one has to consider
that the increased cost of log production this winter
in the greater portion of the district will require fully
a Io per cent. increase to be in the same position as
last year.

It is of interest to look for a short time at the
Statistics given for the competing points of the United

States. The figure given for the states of Michigan,

Minnesota and Wisconsin are as follows :
PRODUCTION.—1899, 6,056,508,000 feet; 1900,

5,485,26:,000 feet, decrease 571,247,000 feet; 1901,

5,330,448,000 feet, decrease 48,813,000 feet from 1900 ;
1902, 5,294.395,000 feet, decrease 42,053,000 feet from
1901 ; 1903, 4,791,852,000 feet, decrease 502,543,000
feet from 1902.

Stocks ON HanpD (Same Period.)—18g9, 2,728,271,-
000 feet ; 1900, 2,839,706,000 feet, increase 111,435,000
feet; tyo!, 2,388,256,000 feet, decrease 451,450,000
feet ; 1902, 2,112,719,000 feet, decrease 275,537;000
feet ; 1903, 1,964,532,000 feet. decrease 148,187,000
feet. Total decrease since 1900, 875,274,000 feet.

In reference to these districts I would like to call
your attention to the fact that it is the first time since
1879 that their output had dropped to the 4,o00
million figure. In 1899 it stood at 4,806,943,000. The
highest point was reached in 1890,being 8,597,623,009,
and the falling off in 13 years to 1904 has been
3,805,771,000 feet or 44.26 per cent.,the decrease being
steady since 1898.

The cut of hemlock fur the same period in the same
district is as follows :

Total Cut—1889, 868,410,000 feet ; 1900, 1,166,-
288,000 feet ; 1901, 1,264,943,000 feet; 1902, 1,277,-
* 814,000 feet ; 1903, 1,334,404,000 feet. Increase from
_ 1899 to 1903, 465,994,000 feet in total cut.
'Stocks—1899, 287,820,000 feet; 1900, 622,312,000

feet ; 1901, 574,406,000 feet ; 1902, 441,634,000 feet ;

1903, 515,935,000 feet.

A communication was read from Gillies
Bros., of Braeside, regarding the freight rates
on cedar railway ties and lumber, and urging
that the Association take up the question with
the railway companies with a view to obtain-
ing the removal of the present discrimination
against cedar products ; also one from the
British Timber Trades Federation regarding
the cutting of lumber to meet the particular
requirements of the British market.

The president submitted his annual address,
which was, in part, as follows :

PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS.

It is a pleasure to me as President of the Lumber-
mens’ Association of Ontario to welcome so large a
number of the members of the association and also to
welcome the prominent gentlemen who are with us as
guests at our annual meeting.

The conditions which prevail to-day in the lumber
business in Ontario are in most respects similar to those
which obtained a year ago, and it is felt from present
appearances that the prices will be in most respects
similar to those of last year. In fact, we hear that in
the Ottawa district some lumbermen have secured an
advance of 10 per cent. on sales already made and they
are holding out for this advance for future sales.

The lumber market has been such that the cost
of banking logs is fully as great, if not greater, than it
has been heretofore. There has been virtually no
variation in the cast of supplies or horses.

Unfortunately for the lumber business, this winter's
severe weather has greatly retarded all industries, asa
result of which we are at a loss to estimate the exact
bearing the delayed shipments of lumber will have on
the future outlook of the trade. It is a very difficult
matter to consume a twelve month’s supply of lumber
in the space of ten months, and the shipments of lumber
for the past two months have been practically nil. As
against this, however, there is the fact that in some
districts, owing to the heavy snow storms,comparatively
small stocks have been taken out for the current year.

It is a fact, however, that the railroad equipment is

’ hardly sufficient for the demand, as lumbermen at all

seasons of the year experience delay and difficulty in
obtaining cars. This matter vour Committee is taking
steps to have laid in proper shape before the railway
authorities.

It affords us pleasure to recall the result of the Gov-
ernment sales held in December last, at which several
features were worthy of note, among which we might
mention, first, the fact that Mr. Thomas Mackie, M.P.,
paid at the rate of $31,500 a mile, which is the highest
amount ever paid in Ontario for standing timber; sec-
ond, the sale realized in all the sum of about _$3,700,-
ooo, which is the largest amount ever realized at any
sale of standing timber held in the Province; third,
the Crown dues and annual rentals were larger than
had previously existed, and the timber sold was limited
strictly to pine and to a period of fifteen years. The
sale as originally called specified a ten year limit, but

your Board of Management waited upon the Gov-

ernment and secured an additional five years—although
we urged the Government to make the time twenty
years, which, in our opinion, is a sufficiently short
period.

The perusal of the records of the sale shows that the
timber limits were sold to a large number of individual
operators, and this, we feel, is a guarantee that the
prices paid would be held with a firm hand even should
a depression come, as there are no large holdings in
any place that would be forced on the market in sucha
way as to cause a depression or slump in the value or
price of standing timber for the future.

We are pleased to note that the present season's
output in as far as can be ascertained shows a reduction
of 25 per cent. on the output of a year ago. This,
together with the assured outlook for building oper-
ations, not only in the cities and towns of Ontario, but
also throughout the rural districts here as well as in
Manitoba and the Northwest, added to which we might
mention the large:public works already ander way and

in contemplation and the large influx into Panade aa e
immigrants of some substance both from Europe and
the United States who are settling in New Ontario and
throughout the West—these conditions with others that
raight be mentioned will be sufficient, we feel, to tide
us over to a very large extent the dull times which are
already being felt across the line. :

Our Association should as soon as practicable take
into consideration the question of establishing a stand-
ard for the grading of the lumber products of Ontario
in such a way that the grades would be uniform and
havea recognized standard in the markets both in

Ontario and in the importing countries to which our —

stocks are shipped.

The President added in substantiation of his
remarks as to the restricted log production,
that last year 223,000,000 feet of new logs
came through the Spanish river booms, while
this year the estimated quantity was 146,000,-
ooo feet.’

r. John Bertram said he thought the time
had arrived when the question of perpetuating |

the Jumber business should receive consider-
ation.
partment of Crown Lands, the Government —

would not say that they had more than 10,090,-

000,000 feet of white pine timber still unsold.
Assuming this estimate to be correct, it meant
that the supply would not last much over

ten years, and it was very necessary that ifthe
lumbermen were to continue in business they —
should operate their limits with great con-

servatism. He urged that as far as possible
individual operators should restrict their cut.

He was much impressed with the fact that

certain lumber firms in the United States were

employing expert foresters to investigate and _

recommend such plans for the operation of
their timber tracts as would produce the best
results, having regard to the perpetuation of
the business. One firm had voluntarily re-
dnced their cut from 40,000,000 feet to 20,-
000,000 feet annually, and expected to be able
to continue lumbering indefinitely.

Mr. Bertram said the policy of selling the
pine timber only would soon lead to the ex-
tinction of the pine, for pine would not grow
under the shade of hardwoods. He had seen
pine trees 30 years old less than an inch in
diameter, the reason being that the conditions
for growth were unfavorable. The sun must

get to the soil before the pine seeds would

germinate. Hesuggested that the Government
should change their regulations so as to permit
of the cutting of other timber, which would
then give the pine a chance to grow. It was
his intention to cut all the coniferous trees on
his uwn limits from a forestry standpoint. He
thought there would in the near future be a
demand for all classes and sizes of timber and

that nothing need be permitted to go to waste. 2

r. John McLelland expressed his approval
of Mr. Berrtam’s remarks,
Germany the settlers were interested in forest-
ry and in the perpetuation of the timber supply.
He cited examples of pine growth on rocky
lands to show that pine timber would Sto
where there is very little soil.

Atter further discussion, in which Messrs. ee
Watt, Turrer and others took part, the follow-—

ing resolution was unanimously carried:

Lean, that a special committee of five, consisting of —

As affecting the car shortage, it was stated
that there is probably 1500 car-loads of lum-
ber waiting shipment along the line of railway
between Orillia and Midland. The following

high, proves that the seed does not require
years to germinate as is generally supposed.
These plants received no particular attention,
as I simply sowed the seeds in a few of the
unfrequented spots in the town park of Berlin.
I simply cleared away the dead leaves, then.

scattered the seed broadcast and covered the

seed with a light covering of the dead leaves
which lay on the ground. I certainly felt
interested in this, and I watched carefully the
progress of the seed sown.

At the end of 40 days from the date of sowing
I first noticed that the seeds were beginning
to germinate. At the end of 60 days the seeds
had sent up a tiny stem one-fourth inch high.

PINE*TREES GROWN From SEED SowN APRIL

I noticed that the seed sown on hardwood soil
made better progress than that sown on pine
or light soil. You will please note that these
plants were grown in among the trees in the
park, as stated before, and in such places which
were more or less shaded, and no doubt the
results might have been still more favorable
had the seed been sown in open ground, but
my experiments led me to believe that to sow
in the fall or spring of the year in soil prepared
for same, and left untouched until such time as
the small trees need thinning, is the proper
way to grow pine trees. You need not fear
that the trees will be hindered in their growth
by the grass which will grow up among them,
but on the contrary, it will rather facilitate their
growth.”

THE METABETCHOUAN PULP COMPANY.

The Metabetchouan Pulp Company, of Que-
bec, have under construction at St. Andre the
preliminary work for a pulp mill. The dam,
which has been completed and which is shown
inthe accompanying illustration, is 464 feet long
and 27 feet high, and is estimated to produce
7,000 horse power. The mill, which will be
built this spring, will have at the beginning
nine grinders, and it is proposed to manufacture
thirty tons of cardboard per day.

A branch railway thirteen miles long, con-
necting the mill with the Lake St. John Rail-
way, has just been completed.

The company has the complete control of the

is situated nine miles from St. John. Two
other powers, each 7,000 horse power and sit-
uated respectively seven and eight miles above
St. Andre, are also the property of the com-
pany.

Twelve miles from St. Andre the company
has 175 square miles of timber limits extending
along each side of the river, all in virgin forest
and heavily wooded with gray and black spruce.
In addition the company will get the benefit of
at least one hundred square miles of timber
limits around St. Andre, where the settlers are
beginning to clear the land.

The president of the Metabetchouan Pulp
Company is Mr. A. Racine, and the secretary
Mr. J. E. Caron, both of Quebec.

The Methot’s Mill Lumber Company has been form-
ed at St. Agapit, Que., for the manufacture and sale
of pulp wood.

PAPER FROM PINE REFUSE.

The Wood Distillates and Fibre Company,
capitalized at $500,000 and incorporated under
the laws of Arizona, has been organized at
Chicago to do business in Louisiana and the
Southwest. It has for its object the utilization
of the refuse of hundreds of saw mills through-
out the State, which means a new source of
revenue to the lumbermen.

For years millions of dollars worth of pine
refuse has been used for fuel by fhe saw mills,
because there was no other disposition to be
made of it, and for several years efforts have
been made to discover some process by which
this refuse could be turned into money, along

with the stumps in the field. Several processes

have been brought to the fore during the last
few years, but they were too expensive and the
results in many cases were unsatisfactory. It
is now stated upon good authority that the
cost of these plants has been materially re-
duced, and it is possible to utilize every pound
of the saw mill refuse.

Charles M. Dobson, a consulting engineer,
has made a study of timber conditions the last
two years, and has secured data bearing on
the subject ot refuse at the mills, showing that
there will be ample material to work on for
years to come, and that by this latest process
turpentine, pine tar, wood alcohol, lime acetate
and fibre can be produced from it. The fibre
is to be used for the manufacture of brown
wrapping paper, such as is used by grocers
and butchers.

Mr. Dobson stated recently that there was
no question as to the success of the enterprise,
as nearly every one interested in it is a lumber-
man, who realizes what a plant of this kind
means to the lumber interests of this section.
Several of the larger saw mills in the vicinity
of New Orleans have been making enquiries
into the different processes for utilizing the re-
fuse of their mills, and a plant is now in opera-
tion at Hattiesburg, Miss., with another being
installed at Lumberton.

Mr. Dobson says: ‘‘We can utilize every
pound of this refuse, a cord of which shows
the following result under test: Turpentine,
fifteen gallons, ten gallons crude; 160 pounds

Vice-President, N. Bernatchez ; Secretary-Treasurer,
A. E, Vallerand; manager at Peribonka, T. D. Tremb-
lay; assistant-manager at Roberval, P. A. Potvin.

Mayor Johnston, of Parry Sound, Ont., and asso-
ciates have applied to the Ontario Government for the
lease cf a valuable water power at Canal Rapids, on
the Magnetawan river, near the Georgian Bay.. The
proposal is to build a large pulp mill and other in-
dustries.

The Labrador Electric & Pulp Company, of which
A. E. Beauvais, 71a St. James street, Montreal, is
secretary-treasurer, recently invited tenders for $50,000
six per cent. debentures, secured by first mortgage on
a water power of the company at Murray Bay, Que.,
and on the plant génerally.

The North Shore Power, Railway & Navigation

. Company, of which Mr. Thomas Meaney is manager,

will resume operations on construction work as soon as
navigation opens. Ten miles of railway have been
and much headway has been made
towards the construction of a dam, pulp mill and other
buildings.

The Maritime Sulphite Fibre Company’s properties
at Chatham, N.B., were sold by auction on February

25th to the Bank of Montreal for the sum of $120,000.
There were two other bids, $100,000 and $110,000.
The referee in equity accepted the bank’s bid, thereby
confirming its title to all the property, including the
lumber rights in 262 square miles of timber limits.
Negotiations for the sale of the property to American
capitalists are in progress.

The @ntario Government has granted a pulp con-
cession to the Dryden Board Mills Company, Limited,
of Dryden, Ont., of which T. A. Gordon and Chas. B.
Gordon are president and secretary respectively. The
company agrees to expend $200,000 in the erection of
a pulp and paper mill which shall have an output of
thirty tons of pulp per day and be commenced within
six months of the date of ratification and completed
within two years. The company receives the exclusive
right to the water power of Wabigoon Falls, near
Dryden, estimated to yield 2000 horse power, also the
exclusive right for twenty-one years to cut pulp wood
on certain timber lands on the Wabigoon river, the
stumpage dues to be charged to be 4o cents per cord
for spruce and ro cents per cord for poplar and other
inferior pulpwoods.

PRACTICAL SAW TOPICS.

Saw filers should be interested in any
method or machine or tool that is well calcu-
lated to improve or facilitate saw fitting. Their
service is mental and mechanical rather than

hysical. Hence, intelligence and skill in a
Kier are better recommendations than physical
strength, or a disposition to hammer and file
{rom morning till night. It is not a question
of quantity but quality of work.

The quantity and quality of the lumber cut,
and the steady employment of the common
labor, depend largely upon fine fitting of the
saws, and the filer is therefore a profitable or
profitless man for his employer.

Mill men and factory operators are rapidly
coming to appreciate the importance of a per-

fect filing room equipment and are usually
ready to buy anything calculated to imp-ove
or facilitate the filer’s work, if they have confi-
dence in his ability and judgment. There are
never too many good men in any calling, and
with regard to saw filers, the good filer is the
one who makes his services indispensable to
his employer. Such a man can command his
price.

Every saw filer should seek to become well
informed, in the broadest possible manner,
upon everything pertaining to his trade. The
experience of no one man is universal, hence
the need of constant effort to familiarize one’s
self with all changing conditions in saw and
mill management and operation, that, as each
new condition arises, one may better meet it

successfully. The competent filer or sawyer
should understand millwright work, at least to
the extent that he may ascertain when faults
lie in the saw, inthe mill, the carriage, the
track or any portion of the plant directly under
his personal supervision. Defects may lie in
any one of tkese places which, it not remedied,
will render only partially effective the best
efforts tending to improvement in the care of
saws.

The service ofa filer may be invaluable at
$3 to $8 per day, or expensive at $2 per day.
One filer may increase the cut of well-manu-
factured lumber from 2,000 to 10,000 feet per
day; another may not only Jessen the average
cut but also impair the quality of the output,
a double loss.

FILERS. ;

A few of the reasons why you should have a Hanchett Swage in
your filing room are:—They will wear a life time, are rapid to operate,
do good work, adjustments are perfect, and easily made. They are
compact, solid and strong. The anvil die is of such a shape that it
may be easily and accurately ground, which is necessary to keep any
Swage in perfect working order.

APRIL, 1904

A REMARKABLE CATALOG.

Probably the best known piece of saw mill literature
ever published was William E. Hill & Company’s 1901
catalog, better known as “A Trip Through a Saw
Mill.” This catalog was a direct departure from every
other manufacturer’s standard in arrangement and
description, and was a noticeable improvement over
all others in illustration, paper and presswork.

This, however, is an age of progress, and the catalog
which caused so much favorable comment three years
ago is now obsolete. In its place we have the 1904
catalog, issued by the same firm, which is as far ahead

of their last ore as that one was ahead of all others.
It is a book of 132 pages, sumptuously bound in dark
brown, printed on heaviest plate paper from new clear
type, and in fact from a printer's standpoint is perfect.
The cuts, of which there are 130, would not seem out
of place in an edition de luxe.

_ THE CANADA LUMBERMAN

A great many mill men imagine that William E. Hill
& Company only build steam niggers, and these will be
surprised to find that they make every kind of machinery
that goes into the biggest and most up-to-date mills.
They are prepared to furnish complete machinery out-
fits and draw up plans and specifications for any kind
of mill, Among the machines illustrated are their line
of band mills, circular mills, carriages, edgers, splitters,
etc.

The arrangement is, generally speaking, the same as
in their last catalog, and the reader takes a veritable
‘““rip through a saw mill’, starting with the haul-up,
and ending at the other end of. the mill. Almost every
subject is treated with a completeness that makes the
book a work of reference for the mill men. Ten pages
are devoted to jackers and car haul-up rigs and thirteen
different styles are shown, each described in detail.
The section devoted to carriages, set-works, etc., is the
most complete ever published, and the same is true of
the parts which describe edgers, trimmers and lath

29

machinery. A section which will be cf interest to
stave, shingle, pulp or cord wood mills is the one
headed, ‘Machinery for Cutting and Handling Logs
and Wood.” Here are described many styles of cut-
off machines, including the famous ‘“‘Hill Steam
Drag Saws,” also steam dogs, steam splitters, head-
ing, bolters, etc. The last division of the catalog is
devoted to power transmission, conveyor rigs and
drives, etc. Here you will find all standard power
transmission tables and a number of standard conveyor
drives never before illustrated, each one of which is
described in detail. This was never tried until now
and this feature alone makes the book a most valuable
one.

Taken as a whole this catalog is the finest we have
ever seen and is a credit to the enterprising firm which
issued it. It is worth dollars to every mill man, but
will be sent free to anyone interested who will address
William E. Hill & Co., 415 North Rose street, Kal-
amazoo, Mich., and ask for Catalog B. In writing
kindly mention this paper.

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN

MADAWASKA LOG DRIVING COMPANY.

A meeting of the Madawaska Log Driving
Company was held at Van Buren, Me., on
March goth, for the purpose of electing directors
and transacting other important business. _

It was the aim of the St. John Lumber Com-
pany and the Van Buren Lumber Company to
elect directors enough to control the company,
which drives all the logs on the St. John river
cut above Grand Falis. This influence the
milling companies (whose plants are situated
a few miles above Grand Falls on the American
side) intended to use with the object of placing

piers and booms at Van Buren to stop all the.

logs on their way down river and separate

their own. This, of course, would have meant

a severe blow to all the lumber manufacturers -

whose mills are situated below Grand Falls,
for considering the limited season of freshet
during only which the logs can be driven, a
delay for sorting purposes would mean an
almost certain hang up this and ensuing years.
The manufacturers of the Lower St. John
resolved to combat these intentions and accord-
ingly Mr. Geo. V. Cunliffe, of Fort Kent, Me.,
attended the meeting armed with proxies from
all these gentlemen. Each 100,900 of logs..in
the river above Grand Falls or cut and in the
woods entitles the owner thereof to one vote.
The result was that the lower country operators
succeeded in electing as directors Messrs. G.
V. Cunliffe, John Sweeney, Neil McLean and
John Kilburn. Mr. F. Brown was the only

- tion in the North-West and Manitoba.

representative of the milling companies elected.
The first four gentlemen named are contractors
on a large scale for St. John City mill owners.
The contract for driving the logs was awarded
to Messrs. L. W. & E. W. Pond.

It was announced that the season’s cut above
Grand Falls amounted to 120,000,000 feet,
which with the lumber hung up last season
made a total of 165,000,000 feet. Of the total,
25,000,000 is for the St. John Lumber Com-
pany and 16,000,000 for the Van Buren Lum-
ber Company. The balance will go to the
Fredericton booms.

MOUNTAIN LUMBER MANUFACTURERS’
ASSOCIATION.

The Mountain Lumber Manufacturers’ Asso-
ciation held their annual meeting at Cran-
brook, B.C., recently, at which the question of
tariff was very fully discussed. It was decided
to memorialize the Dominion Government for
further protection against the unfair competi-
tion of United States mills. The demand in
this respect is an exceedingly modest one, and
is only necessary on account of the special
conditions which exist in respect to competi-
The
United States manufacturers have had a sur-
plus of lumber, and sooner than sacrifice that
surplus in their own territory they have dumped
it into the Canadian North-West and thus
saved their own market from demoralization.
It is only fair to Canadian industries that

APRIL, 1904

they should be protected from such competi-
tion.

TRADE NOTES.
The Albion Iron Works Company, Limited, of Vic-
toria, B.C., has been re-incorporated, with a capital of
$500,000.

At the annual meeting of the Canadian Rubber Com-
pany held in- Montreal last month, the election of
directors resulted in one change, Mr. J. O. ’Gravel
retiring and Lieut-Col. Prevost succeeding him.

Ross & Howard, who conduct a large foundry and
manufacture saw mill machinery, boilers, engines, etc.,
at Vancouver, B.C., contemplate a large addition to
their plant. They have asked the City Council for a
bonus of $100,000.

“CHAMPION” SAWS AND GAS ENGINES.

The Champion Saw Company, of Beaver Falls, Pa.,
was organized in 1887 and re-organized in 1897 under
the name of “Champion Saw & Gas Engine Company,”
with a capital stock of $100,000. At this latter time in
addition to saws, they began the manufacture of the
Champion gas and gasoline engines. They have had
marked success in both departments and are to-day
producing saws and gas engines that have no superiors.
Their saws are manufactured from the best grade of
saw steel and their patent method of tempering saws
gives to this steel life and toughness.

Hammering a saw to the proper tension to suit the
speed and feed of the mill is very important. In this
they excel, as all their saws are examined by an
expert before leaving the factory. These claims for
their saws are substantiated by two of the many
testimonials they are receiving all the time.

Bancroft, Sons & Company, of Orange, Texas, write
as follows: ‘‘ We have been using your saws for years
and so far are well pleased with them. They give
entire satisfaction. Ship us as soon as possible two 56
in., 6 gauge straight, solid tooth saws, with go teeth,
speed 800, teed 12 in. Make them exact duplicates of
those already received.”

R. R. Howell & Co., Minneapolis, Minn., in a letter
dated June gth, 1903, write: ‘‘Regarding the saws

which we have been purchasing from you now for

several years, will say that they have given the very

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN

exclusively on our entire line of saw mill and wood-
working machinery. During our long business career
we have used all the leading makes of saw blades, but
we must say candidly and sincerely that your saws
have givea better all round satisfaction than any of
them. This is an important item for us, for thereby

they assist us in selling our saw mills, for there have '

been cases where parties would condemn a whole out-
fit of saw mill machinery simply on account of defective
saw blades. Nothing of this kind has hippened since
we have been using your saws. We are very much
pleased with them and our intention is to continue the
use of them. We have been buying from you heavily
for several years because we are not only manufac-
turers of saw mill machinery, but also jobbers of all
kinds of saw mill supplies. We are purchasing from
you every year about 600 to 700 various kinds of saw
blades.”

They also manufacture the Champion chisel bit saw,
one of the best inserted tooth saws on the market.
The holders and bits receive all the wear, thus
protecting the blade, and the bits are so fitted that
they cannot fly out and cause the trouble that so
many users of inserted tooth saws experience. We,
quote below from one of the many letters they re-
ceive, showing what their customers think of these saws:
“‘T am pleased to say that my sawis a good one and
cannot be beat. It is the best one I have run in my
life and there is no better made. Signed, J. W. Baylor,
Eby, W. Va.”

gt

They also have special facilities for doing repair work
and have recently lowered their prices on this work
very materially.

The Champion Saw and Gas Engine Company manu-
facture the Champion gas engine, which is conceded to
be one of the best gas engines cn the market, being con-
structed on scientific principles. They are simple and
for durability, efficiency and economy in use of fuel,
have no superior. The power produced by the gas
engine is claimed to cost less than one-fourth that of
steam power. It can be used successfully for any
purpose where power is needed. Hence if you are in
need of anything in their line, send for their catalogs
and prices. Their sizes range from 2h.p. to 75 h.p.,
and are fully guaranteed.

Mr. S. Pomeroy is adding to his planing mill at
Orillia, Ont., an engine room, and is installing therein
a new engine and boiler. He is also putting in a new
dry kiln and otherwise improving the plant.

Mr. John D. Sinclair has taken over the new double cut-
ting band mill of the British Columbia Box & Lumber
Company at Vancouver, and is now prepared to fill
orders for cedar lumber and shingles on short notice.
He makes a specialty ‘ of kiln-dried lumber and edge-
grain cedar and spruce.

DO YOU LACK STEAM? WE CAN HELP YOU

A Great Steam Generator :
: RUBBER BELTING

For

Develops every ounce of power a boiler 1s capable of making, regardless of the Transmitting
weather or of the character or condition, of the fuel. =

The Gordon Hollow Blast Grate will enable you to carry from 80 to 100 Ibs. of
steam where you are now carrying from 60 to 70 lbs. Elevating

It wil also enable you to burn wet, green or frozen sawdust or other refuse, and to
obtain as good result with them as you now obtain with dry wood. :

It is practically a refuse burner under your boilers, offering the best and most
economical means in existence for disposing of refuse, doing away with all hauling, and and
utilizing the heat derived from the refuse to run the mill, thus converting it from a
source of expense into a source ot profit.

If 30 days’ trial does not demonstrate the grate to be a profitable investment you *
may return it at our expense. Can you imagine a more liberal guaranty ? It not only Conveying
relieves you of all risk, but forcibly illustrates our unlimited faith in the grate.

In writing for prices, do not fail to give number of boilers, width of furnaces or
ovens, and length of grates desired.

SAMPLE TESTIMONIAL.

‘‘We were using ordinary grates. Found it impossible to keep steam. Put in
your grate. Could then burn sawdust and green slabs, using one less furnace, and
keep steam “‘popping off.” Would not run a mill without them.”

TREND OF THE GAMP SUPPLY TRADE

Price Fluctuations During the Past Year Comparatively Narrow.—Only a Few Lines
Show Important Changes.—Labor Still Scarce and Wages High.

In this, our Second Annual Camp Supply
Number, it is appropriate to take a retrospec-
tive glance over the field and enumerate the
changes which have taken place in the prices of
supplies for the logging camps as compared
with one year ago. Not that we can hope to
tell the purchasing agents of our lumber com-
panies much that is not already within their
knowledge, but rather that in crystalized form
the information
may be useful for
comparative pur-
poses and for refer-
ence at some future
time.

The business of
supplying the
camps is of in-
creasing
ance, for while our
production of lum-

import-

ready reached the
maximum quantity,
more men are re-
quired to-day to
bank a given num-
ber of logs than
were necessary ten >
or even five years
ago. The average
woodsman of to-
day is a man of in-
dependence. He
knows that if Shis
services are reject-
ed in one camp he will be extended a hearty
welcome at another. In other words, the
labor supply is scarcely equal to the de-
mand, and the shantyman does not feel that
compulsion which he once did to exert himself
in his employer’s behalf. This latter remark
will apply to other walks of life as well as ‘in
the woods”. Nevertheless, the result is that
the lumberman conducting operations on a
similar scale to some years ago is called upon
to provide food for a greater number of men.

Taken as a whole, camp supplies have
remained almost stationary during the past
year. Some lines have advanced, others de-
clined. The most important advance is in the
price of cotton goods, owing to the sharp but
somewhat artificial rise in the price of the raw
material. Pork prices represent the greatest
decline, current values being much lower than
one year ago,

LABOR.

As in all other lines of industrial effort, the
labor problem plays an important part in the
lumber world. True, strikes have never in an
organized state caused much trouble except at
the mills, but on the other hand the question
of supply and demand has always cut a big
figure on the limits. This problem has in fact
reached an acute stage in the past few years,

Tue Dininc Room oF A LoGGcinG CAMP.

and naturally occupies much attention and
creates much discussion.

Since the days of Bytown, Ottawa has held
the position of Hub in the Eastern Canadian
lumber world. The far reaching river with
which the Capital shares its name, has been the
means whereby the industry has been develop-
ed and maintained. The Chaudiere district
alone with its mills has attracted and held an
industrial army in Ottawa. Hence it is but
natural that the city should have become the
great hiring center for the workers on the
limits and the log drives. Even the firms
operating in the Georgian Bay district and
{arther west in Ontario look to the Capital for
their men. As a matter of fact though, Winni-
peg entered the field last year and supplied
many hundreds of men for the Lake of the
Woods district. The popular move to the
Canadian West filled the streets of the Mani-

toba Capital and neighboring towns with
strong young immigrants from the British
Isles particularly, and Europe generally. After
the summer’s work in the harvest fields, these
men were out of employment and readily
accepted work on the limits. As the rate of
wages was lower than in Ottawa, the American
firms gave the western men the preference.
Just here it may be remarked that this new
phase of the labor problem may have an im-
portant bearing in Ottawa, but it is difficult at
present to make a prediction with any degree
of assurance.

Getting back to Ottawa, however, it may be .

stated that until recent years the supply of men
was equal if not
greater than the
demand and wages
remained normal.
Wages have been
known to drop as
low as $10 a month
and board, and $18
a month and board
was considered a
good thing. The
French Canadian
had the field to
himself, and the
field had the French
Canadian to itself.
The mill, camp and
drive were his prin-
cipal avenues of
employment. How-
ever, the establish-
ment of pulp and
paper mills, the
building of rail-
ways, the move-
ment to Western
Canada and the
northern parts of Quebec and Ontario, and the
increased industrial activity in the cities, have
all done their share in recent years in luring the
hardy lumber jack from the limits. With this
marked decrease in the labor supply came a
corresponding increase in the demand and a
decidedly interesting situation was the result.
The influx of American capital and the increase
in Canadian capital in the Georgian Bay,
Nipissing, Kippewa, Temiskaming and other
districts made a new and vigorous call for men,
and Ottawa had torespond. The consequence
was a rapid advance in wages, in fact they
have doubled within the past few years. The
ruling wages for the season just closed were:
Axe hands, $30 to $32 a month and board ;
teamsters, $35 a month and board ; road men,
$30 a month and board ; river drivers, $40 to
$45 a month and board.

The question naturally arises, will these

The manager of this company stated that

good help remains short, they will get what
they ask. This phase of the case takes on a
humorous turn when it is borne in mind that
the high wages are responsible in a large mea-
sure for the advance in lumber.

The hardy contented lumber jack of former
years is slowly but surely passing from the

wages hold good for the future, or will they
suffer a decline or advance? A _ prominent
Ottawa district lumberman gave it as his
opinion that the wages would drop. He
figured that there would be an easier feeling in
the labor market during the coming summer,
and that lack of other employment would make

more men available for the limits and conse-
quently wages would drop.

On the other hand, the managers of the em-
ployment agencies state that the wages will
remain firm at the figures quoted above.
There seems a good prospect of the resumption
of operations on the part of the Soo companies
and that will make an increased demand for
men. Then again the building of the Grand
Trunk Pacific Railway will make a hole in the.
supply of labor, but it is hardly hkely this will
affect the lumber interests before next year.

The French Canadians’ undisputed claim to
the work on the limits and drives is being
challenged. Winnipeg was not the only city
that sent hardy immigrants into the camps.
Several hundred, nearly all Britishers, were
forwarded from Ottawa. With their willing-
ness to work and their natural intelligence
they made good, where other immigrants from
across sea would have failed. The Canadian
firms are averse to engaging any but the
French Canadians, claiming that the others,
not having the necessary experience, are a
hindrance rather than a help.
American firms think different.

However, the

As was the
case with the men hired in Winnipeg, they
were not averse to giving the new comers a
trial. Of course, they started them in at re-
duced wages, but this was only an incentive
to the immigrants to quickly master the fine

‘points of the game and get on the full pay

list. As a matter of fact they are even
eager to try their hand at log driving, but few
have been engaged for this risky work. .

In discussing the future of the labor ques-
tion as far asit affects the lumber industry, the
buoyancy of the lumber market itself must not
be overlooked. As long as high prices rule,
the men hiring for work on the limits and
drives and in the mills will demand correspond-

ingly good wages. As long as the supply of

land. High wages in other lines of industrial
activity and:the prospect of an all year resi-
dence in town or city has lured many of the
able bodied fraternity from the limits. Their
places have been taken by undersized youths
and inexperienced men from different walks of
life. Asa consequence there was no end of
trouble last winter from ‘‘ jumpers.” ~The
proximity of the railways and the very question
of wages itself were responsible for the flittings
to and fro of the hands. In former years the
men at’ the low wages were content, even

. % ae Pe 2 Wr

eager to work, not only the whole season but
season after season, with the one company.
The following is a copy of the agreement de-
manded by one of. the leading employment
agencies which was found to give satisfaction
and prevent ‘‘jumping”’ :

‘‘We the undersigned do hereby agree to
work for and faithfully serve
during the lumbering season of 190 and fol-
lowing spring for the wages and in the capa-

any deduction other than that for railway
transportation when a man quits his job be-
fore his time is up.

GROCERIES AND PROVISIONS.

The lumberman who contemplates operating
in the woods next winter will probably be able
to purchase his meat supply at very favorable
prices; in fact, it isa question if he should not
take advantage of the low prices which now —
prevail. Compared with one year ago barrelled
pork, which is one of the principal commodities
purchased for the lumber camp, can be obtained
at a decline of six dollars per barrel. Current
prices of live hogs and packing house products
as compared with the corresponding time in
1903 are as follows : AS}
1904.

1903.

Live Hogs, $ 6.75 to$ 7.00 $ 5.12% to$ 5.25
Mess Pork, 20.00 to 21.00 14.00 to 15.00
Pure Lard, 10 to 10 7% to 8
S. P. Hams, 11 to 1% 10% to II
Smoked Hams, 12% to 13 12 to 12%
Long Clears, 9% to 10 7% to 8

It would seem reasonable to expect a
stronger tone to the pork market throughout the
summer period, as the consumptive demand
will no doubt improve. It must be admitted
that prevailing prices are on a very reasonable
basis. ode

Grocery supplies have been somewhat un-
even in price. One of the leading staples,
sugar, is about 20 cents per 100 pounds higher

i 2

than last year. On account of the prospects
for the sugar trade in Europe this advance is
likely to be maintained. Coffee is about ten

per cent. higher than one year ago owing toa _ a
shortage in the crop and manipulative tactics _

on the part of speculators,but tea values show |
no material change. The price of evaporated —
apples is about % cent per pound higher, the
supply being in a few hands and indications —
pointing to no decline in price before autumn,

even if then. In cloves there has been an
advance of almost 100 per cent. Canned
goods are higher in the majority of cases, and
present prices of sauer kraut and pickles are
$1 per barrel above those of last year. Oat-
meal shows an advance of about $1.00 per
barrel, but there is no material change in split
peas and pot barley.

Of the few articles showing a decline in
price are rice and white beans, which are about
ro per cent. lower. Beans have recently been
advanced in the United States and the market
here is very steady and may advance in the
near future. Prunes are slightly lower than
last year; in tobacco there has been no change.

Molasses are probably more uncertain in
price than any other commodity supplied by the
wholesale grocer. In the West prices are
about the same or slightly higher than one
year ago, but the market in the Maritime
Provinces has been unsettled by large importa-
tions from the West Indies, where conditions
have been favorable to a large production.

-Barbadoes molasses is now quoted as low as 9

cents per gallon. Barbadoes has a very large
crop, whereas Porto Rico will fall short in its
output of Muscovado molasses, which is the
grade principally consumed in the Maritime
Provinces. The Barbadoes market opened on
January 25th at 12 cents, declined February
4th to 11 cents, February 13th to 10 cents,
and held strong at ro cents until Ap¢il 6th,
when it declined to 9 cents, from which there
has been no further break. In 1903 the
market opened at 10 cents and was in a short
time forced up to 18 cents. In April, 1902,
Babadoes molasses was purchased for the St.
John market as low as 7% cents. From what
can be learned the present decline, while
influenced by overproduction, is to some extent
due to competition between rival shippers.

Owing to the recent change in the assess-
ment of duty on molasses, there will be less of
the low grade New Orleans product imported
into Canada than there has been in past years,
and there will probably be a greater consump-
tion of molasses produced in the British West
Indies, which is of a superior quality. A
large quantity of New Orleans molasses has
been imported into Western Canada in late
years.

From present indications, with few excep-
tions, there is likely to be very little change in
the prices of groceries during the next six
months.

CLOTHING.

Clothing supplies tor the lumber camp are
likely to be more expensive than last year, and
especially articles made from cotton, such as
overalls, top shirts, etc. Cotton goods have
advanced about 25 per cent. this year and are
not likely to be any lower until after the next
crop at the earliest. If the cotton crop of the
Southern States should be even a partial failure

_this year, still higher prices for goods made of
this material may be experienced. A large
consumer of cotton rope advises us that he is
paying $5.50 per hundred more for this materi-
al than was paid last Fall. Woolen goods are
about the same as last year on many lines,
but the heavy articles composed of pure wool
have advanced from 5to 10 per cent. on ac-

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN :

count of the increased cost of raw material.
There is very little difference in the price of
general lines of ready-made clothing. Larri-
gans, moccasins and snow shoes are the same
as last year.

The price of rubber boots has recently been
advanced from 50 cents to $1 per pair, this
course being rendered necessary by the in-
creased cost of raw rubber which now enters
into the manufacture of so many articles. On
December 30th last raw rubber was quoted at
y6 cents; a year anda half previously it was
only 70 cents; now it is $1.17. The Ameri-
can manufacturers of rubber boots have siace
February 1st last advanced prices 20 per cent.
In Canada the advance thus far has been only
5 per cent., but it is understood that a further
marking up of values is impending.

LOGGING APPLIANCES.

United States manufacturers of axes have to
some extent made Canada a slaughter ground
from their goods, and competition for this source
has been felt quite keenly by the Canadian
makers, some of whom advocate a return toa
specific duty instead of the ad valorem duty
which now exists and which they claim gives
too great opportunity for flooding our market

to be paid for it.

Logging sleighs are more expensive, the
chief agent in producing this result being the
higher cost of timber. Prices of stoves, ranges
and tinware for lumber camps are almost the
same as last year, and unless there is a decid-
ed change in the United States, Canadian
manufacturers are not likely to alter their quo-
tations in the near tuture, as present selling
prices bear a fair relation to the cost of the raw
material and leave a fair margin of profit for
the manufacturer.

HORSES AND THEIR SUPPLIES.

The best method of obtaining a supply of
horses for woods operations is a question to
which lumbermen have been obliged to give
more consideration in late years. Previously
the custom with many of the large firms was
to purchase only a limited supply of horses and
rely upon hiring a sufficient number from
teamsters and settlers in the vicinity of opera-
tions to handle the cut of logs. This plan
worked satisfactorily, but the greater demand
for labor which has been experienced in recent

years encouraged the settler to place a higher ,

——————

value on his hire, and ruling wages have been
from $3.50 to $5 for one man and a team. An
unexpected difficulty arose, however. Naturally
the timber most accessible was first taken out_
and logging operations became more difficult
each year. Many of these settlers, untamiliar
with the logging business, would not drive
their teams down hills and in other seemingly
treacherous places, and the lumbermen were
obliged to have their own men take the reins
in such cases, handing over the team to the
settler after the danger point had been passed.
They are willing to risk their horses but not
The unsatisfactory character
of the work performed by the settler, therefore,
has induced a number of the lumber firms to
purchase in the fall of the year all the horses
required for their woods operations. These
are sold again the following spring ; if in the
meantime the demand for and price of horses
has improved, the lumberman may be able to
realize as much as he paid for them; if not, he
stands the loss, feeling that the work perform-
ed by the animals during the winter has amply
repaid him. ;
The horse market is not materially different
from one year ago.
1200 to 1350 pounds, are worth from $145 to

their own lives.

General purpose horses,

$190, whereas in the spring of 1903 the selling
price quoted was $140 to $200. The depletion
of the supply in Eastern Ontario and Quebec,
however, makes it highly improbable that
there will be any decline in the price of horse
flesh for next season’s work.

Hay and oats are slightly lower than last
spring, but the future course of prices will
depend altogether on the crop harvested. The
season so far has been backward and very
unfavorable for seeding and the growing of
grain and crops of all kinds.

MEETINGS OF LOG DRIVING COMPANIES.

The annual meeting of the St. John River Log
Driving Company was held at Fredericton, N. B., on
April 8th, Mr. A. H. F. Randolph in the chair. Those
present included Messrs. W. H. Murray, John E.
Moore, Henry Hilyard, J. F. Gregory, George Se
Cushing, N. H. Murchie, E. L. Jewett, Charles Miller,
F. D. Miles, St. John; Donald Fraser, sr., John
Kilburn, Archie Fraser, Donald Fraser, jr., John A.
Morrison, Robert Aiken, James M. Scott, Fredericton ;
G. R. Burtt, J. E. McCallum, Hartland; Senator
Baird, Perth, and A. J. Beveridge, Andover. A state-
ment was given out that the logs cut on the St. John
river last winter was estimated at 140,000,000 feet.
The logs will be driven by Mr. Morrison, whose
contract does not expire until next year. The following
board of directors was elected: John E. Moore, presi-
dent; J. F. Gregory, secretary treasurer ; John Kil-
burn, Charles Miller, A. H. F. Randolph, and Henry
Hilyard.

The Tobique River Log Driving Company held their
annual meeting at Fredericton on April 7th. Henry
Hilyard was re-elected president, and J. C. Hartley, of
Woodstock, secretary treasurer. The other directors
are Donald Fraser, jr., Senator George T. Baird, R.A.
Estey and N. H. Murchie. The contract for driving
from the forks to the mouth was let by public auction
to Archibald Fraser at 23 cents on a 3-year contract.
It is estimated that 38,000,000 feet will be driven down
the Tobique river this season.

J. T. Schell, M.P. for Glengarry, has purchased the
interests of his partner, D, M. Macpherson, in the well-
known lumber firm of Macpherson & Schell, Alexan-
dria, Ont. Itis Mr. Schell’s intention to further en-

NEW SAW MILL AT WINNIPEG.

The Rat Portage Lumber Company, Limited,
of which Mr. D. CC. Cameron, M.P.P., is
president and manager, have recently complet-
ed a modern saw mill at Winnipeg, Man. The
photograph of same reproduced herewith was
taken last fall before the mill was fully com-
pleted. The location is on the banks of the
Red river adjacent to the city of Winnipeg, and
convenient for the distribution of the product
of the mill throughout the said city and suburbs.

Company, Limited,of Galt, Ont., manufactured
and supplied all the machinery in this mill, and
it is of their best make.

Box Factory.—The box factory is supplied
with up-to-date machinery for the manufacture
of boxes of all sizes and kinds. The machinery
for this part of the plant was also supplied
by McGregor, Gourley & Company, of Galt.

SasH AND Door Factory.— The sash and
door factory, while having in view the manu-
facture of standard stock, is particularly design-

wood that the builder may need in his general
business.

Saw Mitt SteEAM Power.—The saw mill will
contain two double cutting band saws with the
necessary edgers, trimmers and saws of various
descriptions for the proper manufacturing of
lumber, timber, lath, etc. The mill is entirely
modern, being equipped with all the necessary
steam operating machines for rolling, canting
and transferring logs and lumber during the
course of manufacture, nothing being omitted
that will in any way facilitate the operations, re-
duce labor, or even make heavy labor lighter.

The band saws were built by the Waterous
Engine Works Company, of Brantford, Ont.
They are of the double cutting type, the saws
having teeth on both edyes, and really might
be called two-faced saws, but if properly manip-
ulated they are true as steel and will turn out
lumber of excellent manufacture. The edger
is a very heavy machine supplied by the Water-
ous Engine Works Company. It is adpated
to edge boards, plank, and manufacture from
cants small timber, which will in a measure add

Company, of Toronto, and the boilers by the
Bertram Engine Works Company, of Toronto.

The whole plant will be lighted by electricity.
The dynamo is ot the multipolar type and was
supplied by the E. S. Harrison Company, of
Winnipeg; it is driven by a McEwen high speed
engine built by the Waterous Engine Works
Company, of Brantford. Other auxiliary en-
gines are placed in convenient places to per-

SOCIAL AMELIORATION IN THE LUMBERING

,

CAMPS.

By ALFRED FITZPATRICK, BA., OF TORONTO,
Secretary of the Canadian Reading Camp Association.

References have already been made in your
columns to a movement on foot in the Province
of Ontario to establish reading and entertain-
ment rooms, and a home study system of ele-
mentary education at the lumbering, mining
and railway constructing camps of Canada.

nor write, the Association decided that it was
better to engage duly qualified teachers. Last
year ten teachers were employed, two of whom
were young medical doctors, a third a gradu-
ate of Oxford, a fourth a graduate of McMas-
ter University, and two of the others were
Undergraduates of Queen’s and Toronto Uni-
versities respectively. The doctors practised
medicine in the camps, and one of the teachers

gun ina tentative way. The isolation,
consequent moral degradation of many of these
men, led to the belief that they ought to be
surrounded with home-like influences and in-
nocent pastimes ; that they ought to be kept
in touch with the outside world, and led to sym-
pathize with its problems by the beautiful in
art and literature. It was felt in short that they
should be given the privilege of an education.
With this object in view three separate shan-
ties were built, one at each of three different
camps in the district of Algoma. These were
supplied with stoves, chairs, games, books,
magazines and current newspapers in French
and English. It was found that the men spent
their evenings, rainy days and Sundays in these
reading camps instead of going to the nearest
town or village in search of questionable en-
tertainment, and that the moral tone of the
camps was decidedly raised. The employer
now provides buildings and the provincial gov-
ernment supplies books. Some twenty-five
reading camps were built and the work is being
initiated in Manitoba and British Columbia’ and
will be taken up later in the other provinces.
Our work is largely experimental and our
object to develop public opinion in its favor, and
urge the provincial governments, whose prerog-
ative it is to educate our citizens, to take it up in
all camps and make it a phase of public educa-
tion. We do not attempt to cover even a tenth
of the ground, but simply enough to dem-

- onstrate its practicability and popularize the

movement.
CAMP SCHOOLS.

So far as employers are concerned there is
little difficulty in securing buildings. It was
found, however, that some one is necessary to
supervise each reading camp, and as there are
a large number of men who can neither read

acted as clerk, while the others engaged in
manual labor. Each men earned over one-half
of his salary. The Association paid the bal-
ance. %

This is not only home education for the em-
ployees in these isolated camps, it is manual
training for teachers, and that too of a practical
and useful sort. The benefits to both teacher and
taught by the introduction of educated men in-

practicable has been fully demonstrated by the
correspondence schools. Thousands of young
men in these frontier camps spend their spare
moments in private study even where tenting
but for a night.

To argue that home education is impractic-
able in the lumbering camps is to tell us either
that woodsmen have absolutely no leisure and
are to all intents and purposes slaves, or that
they have no mind and soul and are a different
order of beings from those engaged in surveying
and mining, which line of argument no sane
employer will adopt.

Considering that there are no counter attrac-
tions in the camps, although his hours of lab-
or are long, the average shantyman has as
much spare time as the average mechanic in
the older settlements, towns and cities.

What is of more immediate importance is to
enlarge the range of interest in life for the lab-
orer that he may employ in a wholesome and
profitable manner such hours of leisure as he
has, that when the opportunity comes he may
know how to use more free time. Asa matter
of fact, employers often fear to give their men
too much spare time, not from mercenary mot-
but lest the time should be abused
and employed in gambling, drinking and worse ,

ives,

evils.
hours of freedom without ensuring that these

Experience proves that to increase the

hours are to be well employed is to drag men
downward, and that this is true of the rich as
well as the poor.

As already stated, the main difficulty in the
extension of this work is nota question of build-
ings. All mining men and not a few lumber-
men have either already made provisions of
this kind at their camps or would be willing to
do so if approached on the subject. The prob-

to camp life cannot be over-estimated. There
is no reason why a boy’s education should end
with the school building. Systems of educa-
tion should be as flexible as the needs demand.
The boy who for one cause and another escapes
the school walls without an elementary edu-
cation should be followed to the woods and
mines. _No state should tolerate an illiterate
citizenship. That home education even at the
most isolated mining and survey camps is

lem is largely one of supervision. In a few
cases buildings have been provided that have
not been a success because the employers and
the Department of Education did not, and the

Association could not, engage men to look ~

after them. The most successful club houses
in the more permanent mining camps and saw
mill towns have a man in each case who devotes
his whole time to making the particular in-
stitution under his care a success. The next

are those in charge of teachers who engage in
manual labor during the day,sawing, chopping,
etc.,and whose evenings are unemployed. Doc-
tors and clerks are as a rule too busy evenings
to accomplish much in the reading camps, al-
though in some cases they have done good
work.

As your readers are interested most in the lum-
bering industry I shall not devote much atten-
tion to work of this kind in the mining camps
except by way of comparison.

The first club house ata mining camp in
Canada sofaras known to the writer was
built by the Canada Copper Company at Cop-
per Cliff, Ont., and its employees. This is an
up-to-date building fully equipped with bath,
parlor, reading room, etc. The first club house
atasaw mill town is that at Cutler, Ont.,
built last spring by the N. N. Wright Com-
pany, now Loveland & Stone. This has been
mainly an experiment on the part of the com-
pany and has been entirely successful.. It is a
commodious building, and wa~ provided by
the company with billiard and pool tables, etc.,
books from the Department of Education,
stoves, chairs and daily papers and magazines
from the Reading Camp Association, and a
small organ from the Presbyterian Church of
Weston. As-at Copper Cliff a capable man is
kept in charge by the company.

The good example set by the Canada Copper ‘

Company is being followed at other mining
camps. The Massey Station Mining Company
will erect a‘ building for this purpose this
spring, and the example set by Loveland &
Stone -is likely to be followed at other sawmill
towns. j

The writer is deeply grateful to many em-
ployers for their kindly interest and co-opera-
tion. The three companies which have invested
most in this endeavor to benefit their employees
are The Parry Sound Lumber Company, The
Rathbun Company, and Loveland & Stone.
Amongst others are Hale & Bell, J. J. Mc-
Fadden, J. R. Booth, Playfair & White, The
Georgian Bay Lumber Company, the late
Edmund Hall, The Ontario Lumber Company,
Jobn Bertram, The Rat Portage Lumber Com-
pany, McLennan Bros. (Wabigoop), Alfred
McDonald, Capt. Robinson, (Winnipeg), Booih
& Gordon, J. & T. Charlton, N. & A. Dyment,
British Canadian Manufacturing Company,
The Brennen Company, Algoma Commercia!
Company, and others.

Some who very seriously questioned the
feasibility of the work, and who did not pro-
vide buildings, as Mr. E. C. Whitney and
Hon. W. C. Edwards, generously contributed
cash. Others, as Messrs. Playfair & White,
N. N. Wright and Loveland & Stone, supplied

_ both cash and buildings.

Too much cannot be said in praise of these
and other employers in their guiet unobtrusive

‘effort to make ‘‘the wilderness and the solitary

place glad and the desert to rejoice ‘and

blossom as the rose.’’

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN

QUEBEC TRADE PROSPECTS.
(By A SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.)

There are indications that the season upon
which we are entering will be a very plentiful
one in the supply of lumber generally. The
great scarcity in the water supply last year
prevented the bringing down of the whole of
the previous season’s cut cf logs and in addi-
tion this season’s production has been large,
which, combined with the stocks on hand, will
place a very plentiful supply on the market.
The home trade in the Province of Quebec is
continuing to be well sustained and dealers are
looking forward with every confidence to a
good season’s business. Prices are also ruling
firm on the home trade, although a slight de-
cline would not be altogether unexpected.

The foreign markets are somewhat slow,
particularly Great Britian, where conditions are
in marked contrast to those prevailing at the

close of last year. The decline is somewhat of a _

surprise to the dealers on this side, as prices
were expected to have been at least equal to
those ruling during last season, and it was an-
ticipated that all available stocks at the open-
ing of this season could have been easily placed,
whereas very few cuts have been disposed of in
advance for this season’s trade.

Several reasons are attributed for this state
of trade. General business in Great Britain is
behind expectations, and the lumber and tim-
ber markets are naturally being affected there-
by, while at the same time a good deal of cheap
timber is being pushed in from the Baltic.

There is no doubt also that the freight rates
are playing no small part in the difficulties ex-
perienced on this side. A more moderate and
steady rate would do much towards removing
the difficulty in meeting prices by placing the
Canadian trade ona more equal footing with
other producing centres.

Lasour.—The supply of labour in Quebec
for the approaching season is expected tobe
ample to meet all requirements. The previous
season stood ata great disadvantage in this
respect,as the supply of labour was insufficient.
Wages, however, are keeping well up to last
year’s standard.

Pork Propucts.—All pork products at the
present time are ranging on high levels, which
in all probability will ease off and leave a fi.m
market at somewhat lower and yet substantial
prices. The supply of good hogs has been
somewhat backward, to which is attributed the
present high rates, but there are indications of
a better run of the supply of hogs, thus lead-
ing up toa more solid market for packer’s
products. .

FLour.—The recent fall in price of flour has
acted asa stimulus to the present market.
Prices, however, are expected tobe firm toa
higher level, at which they are expected to re-
main steady for the coming season.

CaNNED Goops.—Canned goods are in
plentiful supply and are expected to be ample
for all requirements. Prices will probably be
maintained throughout the season.

Woo .ens.—In all woolen supplies there is a
steadily maintained demand. Conditions will
prevail similar to those of previous season.

Toots, Etc.—Tools and logging appliances
are also meeting with an active demand, many

provisions, as the following schedule will show: —

manufacturers finding it difficult to keep ‘pac =
with the anticipated demands. Prices are con-
sequently firm, and there are little prospects of —
any weakening in these goods. a
Horses.—The supply of good seasoned —
horses appears to be scarcely equal to meeting
the existing demands for general trade pur-
poses. Prices have steadily advanced for this _
class of animal, and it is not at all improbable
that higher averages will have to be paid. This —
may not apply to the smaller class horse, al-
though, generally speaking, horses are bring- —
ing prices in advance of previous seasons. —
This is in a large measure attributable to the —
heavy drain during the South African war, the
market not having had sufficient time to re- g
coup itself. Should there be any great increase
of demand, it will be extremely difficult to find -
seasoned horses to meet that demand. a

THE CAMP SUPPLY TRADE IN NEW
BRUNSWICK. ; id

St. Joun, N.B., April 30th, 1904.—In mak-
ing a comparison of the cost of maintaining a

past two seasons, we find last year to have
been a more costly one to the Operator than ©
the season before, although there are many p
important lines that were less expensive. The
chief factor is, of course, the wages of the
men. During the winter just past, along the
St. John River and its tributaries choppers
received from $30 to $32 per month and team-
sters from $22 to $25. During the logging
season of 1902-03 choppers could be had at
$28 to $30 and teamsters at from $20 to $23.

The operators in these parts do not expect
any increase in wages next year, but rather
that they will be lower. This is owing to the
fact that next winter’s cut of logs will be less
than this year’s, because of the large stocks
that will be held over next winter owing to the
shortness of the present manufacturing season.
This will mean that there will be lessdemand __
for men, which condition will no doubt result _
in a reduction of wages.

Suitable horses are high in price and will in
all probability continue to be so. A good
horse that will answer the Purpose will cost at
present trom $200 to $250, and they are very’
scarce even at these figures. For several years —
the price has been steadily advancing; during
the last two years alone the cost has increased
trom ten to fifteen per cent. It is very improb-
able that they will be any cheaper during the
coming season, the indications being that if
there is a change at all it will bea further
advance. : ; : "

One branch. of the business that has been a - >
more favourable during the season just past
than in the preceding one is the price of camp

In the price of stable provender there has
been little change.. In the fall of 1903 feed
was worth $24 per ton, cornmeal $2.85 per
barrel, and oats 44 cents per bushel. The

prices of a year earlier were Practically the
same. : .

ty

In regard to the prices of any of the above
lines it is almost impossible to make a fore-
cast for next season, as there are so many
circumstances that may govern the outcome
that will arise in the meantime.

There has been very little change in the price
of logging tools during the last two seasons.
The prices paid in the fall of 1903 and which
were practically the same as_ those of a year
earlier are as follows :

Axes, single bitt, $5.50 per dozen ; double
bitt, $10. Hand made axes, Single bitt, $6
per dozen ; double bitt, $11. Peavies, No. 1
(handled) $13 per dozen ; handles, $2.60 per
dozen.

The competition in axes on the part of Am-
erican manufacturers does not greatly affect
the price in this locality, and the prospects are,
to quote the opinions of the largest dealers
and manufacturers in these parts, that there
will be little or no change in the price of tools
during the coming season.

PATENT FOR A TIMBER RAFT.

Mr. J. G. Elderkin, of Fox River, Nova
Scotia, has invented a new method of rafting
timber, which will be understood by reference
to the accompanying illustrations. The in-
vention relates to rafts constructed of logs,
piling, spars, poles, or other lumber, and

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN

The body of the raft, according to the claim
of the inventor, is made up of separate in-
dependent sections that extend longitudinally
of said body and are superposed one upon the
other. In the present instance four of these
sections are illustrated and designated by the
reference-numeral 10, though any number may

being so arranged that they will permit the
relative movements of the cables. Extending
centrally through the raft is a draft-cable,

be employed, as desired. Each section is com
posed of timbers arranged end to end and
having their joints disposed in staggered
relation and therefore thoroughly broken. The
“sections extend from side to side of the raft,
and each is tastened by separate binding-cables
surrounding the same. Thus it will be ap-
parent that each section is independent of the
others, and should the upper one be removed

the remainder will be intact. The several

designed for towing, particularly sea-going
rafts which are required to withstand heavy
strains, though also pertaining to those con-
structed for transportation in inland waters,
The object of the invention is to provide a raft
which will be very strong, being doubly bound
‘together, and which will move easily through
the water without chafing or injuring the
timber or lumber. It is also the object to pro-
vide a raft in which the different grades of
timber or lumber can be assorted and kept
separate, said raft being built up of layers so
arranged that when one or more of said layers
are built the raft can be moved from the place
it was commenced to any other place to be
finished. In like manner it can be taken apart
section by section without mixing the timber
or that of one section with another, also parts
may be removed without breaking up the raft
as a whole.

In the accompanying drawings Fig.1 is atop
plan view of a raft consttucted in accordance
with the invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical sec-
tional view through the ratt, on an enlarged
scale, intermediate portions thereof being
broken away, and Fig. 3 is a vertical cross-
sectional view taken on substantially the line
xx of Fig. 2. Similar reference - numerals
designate corresponding parts in all the figures
of the drawings,

sections are also fastened together by raft-
binder cables, which surround all the sections,
and thus secure the body of the raft together
as a whole. In the preferred form the body of
the raft, as well as the sections, is substantially
rectangular in cross-section, and to maintain
this form, as well as to more thoroughly
strengthen the structure, tie - cables pass
vertically through the same. The lower ends

of the cables are fastened to the lower trans-
verse stretches of the raft-binder cables, and
said cables pass vertically through the body
of the raft. Their upper ends are tastened to
stems, upon which are screwed tension devices
in the form of nuts, having suitable handles.
The tie-cables are fastened to the lower

_stretches of the lowest section-binder cables,

fastened at its ends to cap-plates that are
arranged at the ends of the raft, said cap-plates
being provided with suitable eyes, to which the
tow-line may be attached. The raft may be
constructed in any manner desired. For
instance, in Fig. 3 there is illustrated cribwork.
This, however, constitutes no part of the
present invention.

It will be apparent that a raft constructed
in the manner described is doubly bound, each
section being separate and yet secured to the
others, so as to make a strong and rigid struc-
ture. The body is tied horizontally by the
section-binder cables, so that it cannot spread,
and the vertical cables also serve to hold said
body in proper place. These cables may be
tightened as desired by means of tension
devices. Ai still further advantage resides in
the fact that a raft may be constructed in sec-
tions and taken apart in the same manner
without materially affecting the body as a
whole. Furthermore, the different grades of
lumber may be kept assorted and will not
become mixed when the raft is broken up.
While in the drawings the cables have been
represented as ‘‘wire’’ rope, it will be under-
stood that the term is broad enough to include
chains or other suitable means of .a similar
character.

journal, says that imports of timber into Ger- ~

It consisted mostly of pitch
pines This wood is more resistant to the
weather and costs less than oak, which aver-
ages $3.47 per 35-3 cubic feet, while pitch pine
costs only $1.66 for the same amount. Owing
to its utility and cheapness the pine is handled
in the most remote parts of Germany. It is
used for making doors, windows, floors, etc.,
while oak is used in the manufacture of the
finer grades of turniture.

It is stated that the first saw mill built on

EXPORT OF NEW BRUNSWICK LOGS.

The Legislature of New Brunswick has just
disposed of a resolution introduced by Mr.
Flemming designed to prohibit the export of
logs from the Province in the round or unman-
ufactured state. In support of his resolution
Mr. Flemming argued that he was endeavoring
to legislate for the future of the Province more
than for the present, as the Restigouche and
Western Railway, upon completion, would tap
the St. John river at St. Leonards opposite
Van Buren, Maine, and bring that town within
forty miles of the best timber region in New
Brunswick. He pointed out that the result
would be that the timber cut above Grand
Falls would go to the mills in Maine to be
manufactured. The shingle business would
also be seriously affected, as by manufacturing
in the United States the duty would be escaped,
which would be an advantage of $2.40 on each
one thousand feet of timber, this estimate being
based on the assumption that a thousand feet of
cedar will make about eight thousand shingles.

After a preliminary discussion in the House,
the bill was referred toa special committee. A
large amount of evidence was given by promin-
ent lumbermen, many of whom, it is noticed,
were interested in lumbering operations in the
United States. Mr. Todd, of St. Stephen,
presented some interesting figures. He said

that there are in New Brunswick about 7,000,-

ooo acres of Crown lands, generally recognized
as timber lands, and that timber is at present
being cut on about 2,000,000 acres, the total
cut of logs on Crown lands being about 150,-
000,000 feet annually. In his opinion, with
proper observance of the regulations, the
Province might cut 300,000,000 feet a year off
its Crown lands for twenty-five years, and
barring forest fires, have more standing timber
then than now.

- The opponents of the resolution argued that

such legislation might disturb the present trade
relations with the United States, that the lands
above Grand Falls were mostly owned by
private individuals and the New Brunswick
Railway Company and hence would not come
under the provisions of the law, and that as
conditions now exist the balance of trade is
largely in favor of New Brunswick, inasmuch
as about 60,000,000 feet of Maine logs are
manufactured by St. John mills annually.

The committee reported against the bill, on
the ground that up to the present time the
quantity of logs cut on Crown lands and ex-
ported to the United States had been very
small, that considerable advantage was now
accruing to New Brunswick through the manu-
facture of Maine logs at St. John, and finally
that such legislation would result in very little
advantage to the people of the Province, while
it would work to the disadvantage of the oper-
ators and others engaged in getting out timber
upon Crown lands.

The question of prohibiting the export of
unmanufactured timber from the Province of
New Brunswick is therefore deferred for
another year. While such ac'ion probably
best conserves the interests of the Province
for the present, the time will no doubt come
when the proper protection of home industries
will demand that the raw material of the forest

shall not be exported except in a manufactured

condition. When that time is reached, the
Government should not hesitate to act prompt-
ly and decisively. No consideration should be
given to the argument that such a law might
be regarded as irritating legislation which
could be made an excuse for the adoption of
retaliatory measures by the United States. The
Ontario Government prohibited the export
of both saw-logs and pulp wood without

incurring any penalties from the United States, -

and this notwithstanding that the quantity of
logs exported from Ontario to the United
States was many times greater than that which
is sent from New Brunswick. The Courts also
upheld the Government in the contention that
the right was reserved to impose new regula-
tions affecting the cutting of timber on lands
already under license, even to the extent of
prohibiting the export of the timber.

TIMBER LIMIT OWNERS EXONERATED.

The oft-repeated cry that the lumberman is
the foe of colonization meets a sweeping denial
in the report of the Quebec Colonization Com-
mission which was recently presented to the
Legislature now in session, and which is
referred to at some length elsewhere in this
issue. One of the duties of this Commission
was to inquire into the number and causes of
the difficulties .between timber owners and
licensees and to advise upon methods for their
prevention and removal. The Commissioners
have spoken in a fearless, impartial manner.
They have not hesitated to condemn the
officials of the Goverument and even the Gov-
ernment itself where they consider censure
justifiable. The report is, as a whole, a com-
mendable document owing to its thoroughness,
definiteness and impartiality.

There is
stated to be no antagonism between the owners
of timber licenses and real settlers or those
who honestly take up public lands with the
view of cleating them and not of speculating ¢
the timber. Only one case of cutting timber
on lots under location tickets and taken out of
the timber licenses was found by the Commis-
sion, and in this instance it appears that the
lots were taken and held for the benefit of the J
owner of a saw mill in the vicinity rather tha n
for settlement purposes. This, however,
not justify the license-holder in cutting the
timber after the lots had been taken out of his -
license. Many cases of alleged cutting: of
timber on settlers’ lots were reported to the
Commission, but beyond the one exception ;
stated they were found not to be genuine, the
persons making such claims being unable to _
produce any reliable evidence, which showed. c
that they had taken for granted ‘statements _
made without foundation. aie 4
In striking contrast to the above are. held
many cases of theft and fraud on the part of 4
bogus settlers that came to the knowledge of —
the Commission. Forgery has been frequently 2
resorted to in order to obtain possession of —
lands which were heavily timbered, in one in-
stance an area of 1,500 acres or over two
square miles being obtained in this manner.
The contention that no timber remains on
the lots when they are handed over to the |
settlers is disproved by figures showing the
quantity of timber cut by settlers in different —
localities. One or two examples will suffice. —
In twenty-two townships of Labelle region up- —
wards of 28,000,000 feet were cut on settlers’ —
lands during the season of 1902-03. In the
St. Maurice region the license holders obtained —
from settlers over 12,000,000 feet of logs. —
Instead of the settler being deprived of his ©
timber, he realizes a considerable sum by its _
sale, on account of the liberal settlement
policy of the Quebec Government. The report —
states : ‘‘We are unable to obtain proof of a
single case where a settler locating ona lot —
taken out of a license has failed to find wood
enough on it to erect suitable buildings.” The
dissemination of false reports along this line is
calculated to retard the progress -of coloniza-- 4
tion, for the settler requires timber for Leg
buildings and to enable him to earn a little
money during the first year of his settlement. —
_The profits realized from speculation in ots :
fraudulently obtained are stated to be v ry
large. One settler mentioned had as many as
eighteen lots in his possession and resold not
one of them for less than $200. This illi
speculation has reached such a stage that
actually imperils the existence of the industries
of the country. The proprietors of pulp mills
have found it difficult to raise capital for
extension of their plants solely because of
way their limits have been depleted within

the number of speculators in timber is stated to
be constantly on the increase. This is the sole
cause of the outcry that has been raised for some
years past in regard to the pretended refusal
by the Government to concede lots to settlers.

The Commissioners are of the opinion that
the unsatisfactory conditions which exist are
largely due to the inefficiency and neglect of
the agents of the Crown Lands Department,
and recommend that the Government take
steps to reform the agency service with a view
to bringing it up to the proper standard.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

What constitutes hard wood? was the ques-
tion which was recently propounded to the
writer. The enquirer was of the opinion that
of the staple woods those which could be called
hard wood in its true sense were ironwood,
beech, and maple. He claimed that there were
many others classes of timber which might be
properly classed in the category of hardwoods,
but which, strictly speaking, were not perfectly
hard. Perhaps some of our readers who have
given this matter a little thought will state
their opinions on the ponnt.

Friends of organization must feel encouraged
at the growth of the Western Retail Lumber-
men’s Association of Winnipeg. The secretary’s
report to the recent annual meeting showed the
membership to be 588, of which 498 are yard or
active members, and go honorary members.
There was an increase of 155 active and 27

honorary members during the last year. This
would seem to be the strongest possible proof
that the association is serving a useful purpose
and that the members appreciate the advan-
tages to be derived from a well-conducted or-
ganization. There is need of more organiza-
tions of a similar kind among the lumber trade
of Canada.

The recent announcement by the Ontario
Government of their intention to formulate re-
-gulations permitting the cutting of hardwoods
on Crown lands again suggests the necessity
of taking some steps to place the hardwood
lumber trade of this country on a more sub-
stantial footing. If we are to increase our ex-
port business it is essential that organized
effort be made to remove some of the obstacles
which are hindering the development of that
business. One of these is the absence of stand-
ard inspection rules. Business is constantly
going to United States shippers on account of
their superior grading rules and more defined
business methods. The Timber Trades Federa-
tion of the United Kingdom has just organized
a Hardwood Section, at the inaugural meeting
of which the question of rules for the measure-
ment of lumber and securing uniformity in the
measurement of round and waney timber was
discussed. This section are working in con-

junction with the National Lumber Exporters’
Association of the United States, the result of
which will doubtless be that agreements will
be reached which will greatly facilitate the
transaction of business in hardwood lumber.
This will tend to further handicap the Canadian
jumberman in making shipments to Great
Britain, unless, of course, he takes steps to
place himself on an equality with his Ameri-
can cousin. t

Mr. E. H. HEapPs.

One of the most important factors in the
manufacture of lumber and shingles in British
Columbia is the firm of E. H. Heaps & Com-
pany, which has a very large establishment at
Vancouver and another at Ruskin, besides op-
erating its own steamers and several logging
camps. Of this concern, Mr. E. H. Heaps is
senior partner and general manager. He is al-
so President of the British Columbia Lumber &

course, is separate from the organization of

where they are formed into the Mountain

turers’ Association.

upwards of a million and a half were erected,and
that so far in 1904 the amount in comparison
with the same period last year has teen doubled,
with every prospect of a continuance. Mr.
Heaps showed his independence when he de-
clined to enter the selling pool which was being
formed by the Association having for its ob-
jects the apportionment of all orders amongst
the various mills and the making of all sales
and collections through a central office. A
large majority of the contractors who are
members of the Builders’ Exchange and hon-
orary members of the B. C. Lumber & Shingle
Manufacturers’ Association were strongly op_
posed to the Centeral Selling Office. Mr. Heaps
declined to entertain any proposition that was
against the interest of the whole Association
and the trade generally, and the announce-
ment was made on March 2oth that the form-
ation of the selling pool was finally abandoned.

Mr. Heaps was born in the north of England
near the shores of Lake Windemere, and was
apprenticed for seven years to the well-known
firm of Stead Brothers, cotton brokers, Liver-
pool. After spending three years in America,

19

SS
he returned to England and was engaged in
cotton manufacturing in Manchester for eleven
years, when he retired from business. He re-
moved to Ontario, where he remained three
years, removing to Vancouver about sixteen
yearsago. Hehas been connected with the lum-
ber and shingle business in that province for six-
teen years, and twelve years ago startedinasmall
way the present establishment at Cedar Cove,
now one of the largest in the province. Cedar
Cove is a little bay in Burrard Inlet, at the ex-
treme east end of Vancouver, and these mills
are the centre of a veritable hive of industry.
Cedar Cove has a post office of its own and
several stores.

Twelve years ago, when the shingle market
was just about to open up, Mr. Heaps commenc-
ed with two shingle machines. He paid close
attention to business, making only a superior
grade of shingles, and his trade grew. Now
his business is not surpassed by any in the
province, and the machinery has been so in-
creased year by year that at present it comprises
a modern saw mill plant, equipped with two
band mills, Pacific Coast edger and gang mill,
a shingle mill with room and power for twenty
machines,a sash and door factory,planing mill,
In addition, the firm op-
erates several logging camps of its own, locat-

machine shop, etc.

ed in various parts of the Coast, and has two
steamers to do its own towing, thus precluding
the possibility of running short on timber in the
times when brisk business monopolizes the
services of all the towing craft.

In addition to the large plant in Vancouver,
the firm owns and operates the mills at Ruskin,
situated about 30 miles from the city at the
confluence of the Stave and Fraser rivers, on
the main line of the C. P. R. This branch is
composed of asaw and planing mill, shingle
mill, general store, etc.—in short, it is the
town.

The success of Mr. Heaps can be summed
up very briefly. He has always given close
personal attention to business, and has been
ably assisted by his partner, Mr. Wm. Sulley,
and the managers of the different departments.

The subject of this article has made no pre-
tence to prominence in municipal affairs, al-
though taking an active interest in the welfare
of the city at large. When he began business
in Vancouver, the corporation was limited in
its bounds, but he was one of those with the
foresight to see that future years would bring
great development. When the Board of Trade
was organized in the ealier days of the
city’s history, one of the first members was Mr.

_ Heaps, but owing to the rapid development of

his business he has been unable to devote much
time to outside interests.

NEW QUEBEC LUMBER COMPANY.

A company has just been organized for the
purchase of 47 square miles of timber limits
in the Charlevoix country. The land has
been bought from Messrs. King Bros., Limit-
ed, of Quebec, and is supposed to contain
some of the finest timber of the district. The
company will be known as the Charlevoix
Lumber Company, Limited, and will carry on
a general lumber and pulp wood business. The
directors are Messrs. A. I. Auger, E.

REPORT OF THE QUEBEC COLONIZATION COMMISSION

Relations Between the Lumbermen and Bona Fide Settlers Perfectly Harmonious. —
Startling Evidence Presented as to Wholesale Speculation in Timber on Pretence
of Settlement.—R.ecommendations for Remedying the Evil.

The report of the Colonization Commission
appointed by the Quebec Government has pees
presented to the Legislature and is a very im-
portant document. The duties assigned to tne
Commission were, in part, to make a critical
study of the laws and regulations respecting
public lands, woods and forests, and the pro-
tection of settlers; to enquire into the number
and causes of the difficulties between settlers
and holders of timber licenses, and to advise
upon methods for their prevention and removal;
to study the new proposal or systems which
may be submitted to it, and, whilst taking into
account the financial resources of the province,
to recommend those which tend to amend the
laws and regulations so as to foster colonization
and the development of forest industries.

The final Commission was composed of
Messrs. J. H. Legris, Chairman; J. C. Lan-
gelier, Secretary ; John L. BrodieandP. N.
Thivierge.

The report is divided into two parts, what
has been ascertained and what is recommend-
ed. Extracts from the report are printed below.

The Commission found, practically speaking, no
real grounds of complaint on the part of bona fide
settlers. These settlers complain neither of the law nor
of the regulations; neither do they complain of those
who hold licenses for cutting timber, while the latter,
far from complaining of the bona fide settlers, want
them and even look upon them as valuable helpers, as
faithful guardians and protectors of their domain
against the ravages of fire. On this point we refer to
the despositions of the limit-holders, especially those of
Hoo. Mr. Edwards, of Mr. J. R. Booth and of Mr. W.:
Price, the iargest holders of timber limits. All have
declared to us under oath that, instead of being the

foes of the limit-holders, bona fide settlers are allies

whom they need and who render them valuable
services.
There is therefore no antagonism between the

holders of timber licenses and real settlers or those who

‘honestly take up public lands with the view of clearing

them and not of speculating onthe timber. On this
point there can be no serious dispute based on facts
occurring frequently enough to deserve being taken
into consideration. Of course, there may be—we have
even found some—isolated cases where the license-
holders have been guilty of irjustice towards bona fide
settlers; but these are exceptions which only go to
prove the rule.

It has been alleged that license-holders cut timber on
settlers’ lots even after the latter are taken out of their
licenses. During the first inquiry held in Montreal,
this charge was made by Mr. Carufel, secretary, and
by Dr. Brisson, manager of the Colonization Society of
that city. Nevertheless, when pressed by the com-
missioners to give facts in support of so serious an ac-
cusation, M. Carufel declared that he was unable to do
so. Dr. Brisson cited a case in 1883 without specifying
any details and could not give any more recent facts,
The evasive replies of those two officers of the Coloniza-

_tion Society show clearly that they took for granted

Statements made wholly without foundation. The
position they occupy gives to such stories a seriousness
calculated to deter a great many who might otherwise
be inclined to*take up lands and settle on them. It is
to be regretted that men, specially charged with the
duty of furthering the colonization movement, should
thus repeat, without being able to produce evidence ot
any weight, statements so calculated to impede the
progress of that movement.

CUTTING TIMBER ON SETTLER’S LOTS.

The only serious case of cutting timber on lots under
location tickets and taken out of the timber licenses is
that in connection with lots 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21 of the
8th range of Amquiin Metapedia. Atter advertising
the cancelling of these lots, the Crown Lands Depart-
ment, on two successive occasions, granted the holders
of location tickets a delay to enable them to comply
with the regulations. During the delay and while the
location tickets were still in force, a jobber of the firm
of Price Bros. and for the account of the said firm
began lumbering there last fall. During last winter
15,000 logs were cut, and, as he himself says in his
evidence (Enquete at Quebec, deposition of J. A. The-
berge), he would have cut 40,000 more had not his
operations been stopped by threats of judicial proceed-
ings on the part of the holders of location tickets.

To justify this proceeding, the contractor, Theberge,
says in his evidence that the firm of Price Bros. had
cleared the river; that theZlots were taken and held
for the benefit of the owner of a saw-mill in the vicin-
ity. All this is probably true but it is nevertheless a
fact that the license-holder unlawfully caused timber
to be cut on lots taken out of such license and in the
possession of the holders of such tickets.

This is the only case that has come to the know-
ledge of the Commission, in the course of all its in-
vestigations, of a license-holder having unlawfully
caused timber to be cut on lots held under location
ticket and taken out of a license.

IS TIMBER CUT BELOW REGULATION DIAMETER.

Another alleged ground of complaint set forth in the
evidence and elsewhere, is that the license holders
hasten to strip the lots of timber as soon as the latter
are put under location tickets ; in other words they
remove all the timber, even that which they are not
allowed to cut under their licenses. :

This assertion is neither tounded on nor justified by
facts. A few cases occur in which the license holders,
or rather their jobbers, cut down spruce of smaller
dimensions at the stump, that is, two and a half feet from
the ground, than is allowed by the regulations ; but
these cases are quite exceptional. In the course of
lumbering operations in the forest it sometimes happens
that, in cutting down a large tree, it catches in a small
one which must also be cut down to allow the large
one to fall. The small tree so felled is cut into logs
and used although not of the regulation diameter. It
must be admitted that it is better to use it than allow
it to be wasted in the bush. Small trees are also cut
to make skids on which the logs are piled. Formerly
those skids were left in the woods and were lost ; at
present the employees of the Crown Lands Depart-
ment compel the lumbermen to use them and take
them awav: thev figure amongst the logs. At first sight
the presence of those small logs amongst the large
ones seems an infringement of the regulations, but it
is incontestable that this practice should be encour-
aged instead of being blamed, for it is to the advan-

-tage of the public revenue and makes the most of this

small timber which would otherwise be lost.

The places where the cutting of spruce smaller than
the regulation diameter most frequently occurs are
the region of the St. Maurice, that of Mattawin and
the country in rear of Joliette. On several occasions
the woods and forests branch has caused inquiries to
be held upon complaints being made to that effect and
in four cases out of five it was found that such com-
plaints had no real foundation.

TIMBER FOR SETTLERS.

The stories about stripping the lots of timber are
almost invariably spread by speculators disappointed in
their schemes by the vigilance of the Crown Lands
Department and its officers. Unfortunately these spec-
ulators are to be found in large numbers even among
the real settlers. A man takes up a lot, makes enough

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN Ma

improvements on it to protect himself against cancella~
tion, but especially makes the lumber ~as quickly as _
possible or sells the cut, then abandons the lot to take

up another elsewhere. If he fails to secure this other
lot immediately, he cries out that he is ill-treated, that
the Government is obstructing colonization by refusing
to sell lots to settlers. There are even some who c wry
their spirit of enterprise to the length of changing dis-
tricts, of moving from an agency, where they are too
well known to further play this game successfully, to
another where they are not known and where they can
succeed more easily in carrying out their designs.

We are convinced that, by dint of repeating in every

key that in the Province of Quebec only lots stripped

by the lumber merchants are placed at the disposal of
settlers, on which there does not even retmain enough

be

wood for the construction ot farm buildings, consider- a

able damage has been done to the progress of coloniz-
ation. It is necessary to checkmate the deplorable
campaign organized by speculators and represent
things as they really are.

What we have ascertained in the course of our
enquiries enables us to tell our fellow-countrymen in the
United States and the people in the older parishes who

_are disposed to settle on Government lands, that they

may be sure of finding thereon all the timber needed for
building and even for sale to maintain their families
during the first years, and such wood is annually
increasing in value. :

As regards the timber which remains for the settler,
the most advantageous regions are unquestionably the
valley of the Metapedia and the county of Bonaventure.
The richness of the lots in this region, especially in
cedar, is really extraordinary. Lots which yield 5,000
or 6,000 and even 10,000 logs of cedar and spruce,
apart from birch and other wood, or 250,000, 300,000
and even 1,000,000 feet of merchantable timber, are
not scarce.

SPECULATORS IN TIMBER.

The number of speculators in Government lots and in
timber, already very considerable, is constantly on the
increase. These interlopers are the scourge of coloniz-
ation, a subject of continual trouble and an occasion of
serious losses to the license-holders and the Govern-
ment. The extraordinary increased value which all
woods have attained within four or five years has

caused this tribe to spring up in all parts of the province |

and their operations have assumed proportions which
have become almost a menace to the legitimately con-
ducted lumber industry. , ;

The process adopted by these interlopers to create
for themselves forest domains is of the simplest. Under
the pretext of colonization, they get lots taken up by
prete-noms or fictitious settlers, o whom they furnish
the money to procure the locaton tickets. Before even
the issuing of the ticket, in many cases, they get the
cut of timber on the lot transferred to them for a trifle
and the game is played. If the Crown Lands Depart-
ment hesitates to concede the lot applied for, the spec-
ulator sets to work all the influences he can command.
When all these intrigues fail to overcome the resistance
of the Government, the disappointed speculator sets up
the outcry that the Crown Lands Department is imped-
ing colonization by refusing delivery of the public lands
to settlers. : ;

This is the great, the sole cause—so to speak—cf all
the outcry that has been raised for some years past in
regard to the pretended refusal by the Government to
concede lots to settlers. And we regret to be under
the painful necessity of stating that the ever increasing
phalanx of these speculators is -recruited even from
among the leading classes of society.

THE LAW RESPECTING FATHERS OF TWELVE €HILDREN.

In passing the law which gives to each father of a ~ .:

family of tweve living children the right to a free grant
of one hundred acres of Crown lands, the Legislature
had in view to stimulate the progress of colonization. F
The speculators, however, have managed to convert
this patriotic legislation into one of their most effective
weapons. In the Eastern Townships, chiefly, there are
people who make a trade of hunting out the fathers of.
twelve children in all parts of the province and purchas-
ing their rights. They prepare the Papers prescribed
by the law, carry on the correspondence, etc. The lot

‘is sold to them in advance, generally for $30, and the

a

_

ese
AY, 1904
location ticket is transmitted to them as soon as issued
by the Crown Lands Department. They select the lots
themselves, which they get each father of twelve children
to apply for, and it is needness to say that they choose
only the most richly wooded lots, withont concerning
themselves in the least about their adaptability to farm-
ing purposes.

One of these urganizations has presently before the
Crown Lands Department applications for over 70 lots
or about 7000 acres of woodland ; if these are granted
at $30 each, these 70 Jots will cost the speculator $2,-
100, and he will easily sell the timber on them for $20,-
000 or $25,000. That is to say that, with the aid of
this law, which is intended to favor the progress of
colonization, speculation has found means to practically
revive the regime of the great land owners, which did
so much harm to settlement in the Eastern townships.

RECOMMENDATIONS.

The recommendations of the Commission are in part
as follows:

Divisiox OF THE LanpDs.—The first measure neces-
sary is the division of the public domain into settle-
ment lands and merchantable timber lands. Let us
include in the first category only the lands susceptible
of profitable cultivation and let us leave the other in
the peaceful and exclusive possession of those who
work them forthe timber. Then there will be no more
antagonistic interests on the same property and each
will know exactly the nature and extent of his rights.

PREFERENCE TO THE LICENSE-HOLDER.—To make
this system practicable, safeguard the interests of the
province and effectually put an end to the speculation
in timber, a clause must be inserted in the location
ticket stipulating that the holder shall be bound to
give, fcr the sale of his wood, the preference to the
holder of the license in which the lot is contained.
There can be no reasonable objection to this clause on
the part of the settler in good faith, since it takes from
him absolutely nothing and causes him absolutely no
loss. It is only the speculators, the traffickers in lots,
the interloping traders, who might have anything to
say against it; but for these, there should be no
mercy ; they are the plague of colonization, as well as
of the timber trade carried on regularly and under
legitimate conditions.

AuTomaTic CANCFLLATION.—Automatic cancellation
will complete this reform and put an end to a host of
frauds which do incalculable harm to serious coloniza-
tion. The clamors of the negligent or the speculators
are accepted as well founded complaints, and people,
inclined to take up lots to clear them, frightened, di-
verted by these false outcries, relinquish the idea. The
law must decree that, on establishment of the fact by
affidavit of the Crown Lands agent or of an officer
named for that purpose that the conditions, in whole or
in part, of a location ticket have not been fulfilled, the
holder of such ticket shall lose all his right to the lot,
which shall revert to the Crown domain and be at
once entered among the available lots in the agent’s
books.

IMMEDIATE REGISTRATION OF TRANSFERS.—The law
does not prescribe any delay for registration of trans-
fers of lots under location ticket. This is a want which
it is important to supply, inasmuch as it gives rise to
numberless frauds. The speculators take advantage
of it to hold, with the help of prete-noms or unknowing
accomplices, large numbers of lots; they keep in their
own possession the transfers which they obtain, in
order to guard against cancellation under the_ regula-
tion limiting the number of acres of land which may be
possessed bythe same person. An article should be
added to the law providing that every transfer of a lot
under location ticket shall be transmitted to the Crown
‘Lands Department within thirty days from its date,
under pain of nullity, and that so long as this transfer
has not been sent in, the lot shall remain the property
and in possession of the vendor. We would be disposed
even to recommend the imposition of a fine or a pen-
alty for any infraction of this regulation on the part of
the transferee. Lastly, it should be enacted that any

person other than the holder of the location-ticket or-

the holder of the regularly registered transfer of the
lot, making or causing to be made merchantable tim-
ber on a lot which is not in his name in the books of
the agency or of the Crown Lands Department, shall
_ be liable to a fine or to confiscation of the timber thus

nS ee eee

made, to the benefit of the Crown. Though they may
appear a little severe, these measures are absolutely
necessary to put an end to speculation in and plunder-
isg of the public lands on the pretence of colonization.

To protect the settler and the public revenue article
1342 should be amended and it should be enacted that
any settler who makes or sells timber cut on his lot and
does not send to the department before the goth April
the prescribed affidavit shall be ipso facto debarred of
tue right to claim the crediting or the refund of the
stumpage dues.

Sworn reports, showing from whom the wood was
bought, on what lots it was cut and where it was
delivered, should also be required from saw mill
owuers, dealers in pulpwood and purchasers of ties.
This is required from license holders, who are operating
legitimately; why should it not also be required from
speculators and interlopers, who are operating illegiti-
mately ? With the aid of such reports, it would be
easy to protect the settlers and to let them get the
benefit of the stumpage held back on the price of their
timber.

Lots oF FATHERS OF TWELVE CHILDREN.—The
neglect to enforce the provisions of this law has given
rise to trands, the number of which is daily increasing.
In the Eastern townships, chiefly, this law has become
one of the favorite weapons of the speculators. To
remedy this, it is essential in the first place to pitilessly
refuse to grant any lot on which there is merchantable
timber, as prescribed by the law, and to add article
1267 the following provisions:

‘“‘The sale or alienation, otherwise than by donation
inter vivos or by testamentary disposition, of a lot
granted to a father or mother ot twe:ve children or the
sale of the privilege of cutting the timber thereon,
entails the forfeiture of the grant, together with the
confiscation of the lot to the benefit of the Crown.”

FIRES FOR LAND CLEARING.—These are the most to
be feared, the most frequent and the greatest occasion
of damage to the forest. With a little organization and
good will on the part of settlers, however, it would be
possible to considerably lessen the dangers arising from
them. Article 1345 of the Revised Statutes permits in
a general way, for clearing purposes, burning at all
times except between the 15th June and 15th September.
Now, apart from the winter months, these three pro-
hibited months are the least dangerous. The verdure
at the toot of the trees prevents the fire from spreading,
just as that of the foliage renders the latter harder to
catch fire, especially in the hard woods. At that
period the ferns, so inflammable before and after,
constitute real ‘‘cut-fires,” the rains are more frequent
and the winds less strong, in fine everything contributes
to lessen the danger by fire except in the pineries. The
most dangerous season is the interval comprised
between the 15th April and the 15th June. At that
period as soon as the snow has disappeared, a few
days of fine weather suffice to render extremely inflam-
mable the rotten wood, the moss, the shrubs, and,
above all, the ferns. A spark is enough to start a fire,
which in a few hours passes beyond control. This is the
danger time par excellence, the time when the fire-
rangers should concentrate their watchfulness over the
localities where they know that the settlers are land-
clearing, especially when these clearings are in the
immediate vicinity of a pine forest.

THE PROHIBITED FIRE SEASON.--The time during
which it is dangerous to start fires in the vicinity of the
forest varies so much according to climatic conditions,
that it is impossible to practically fix it by law. Ina
same region, the snow disappears more quickly from
the hills and the high grcund than from the low ground ;
it disappears also more quickly front the deciduous
woods into which the sun early penetrates than from
the spruce woods, whose close, thick foliage prevents
the solar rays from teaching the scil. The mountain
slopes are also more sensitive to the sun’s action than
the level lands. ‘If the temperature is wet, and the
weather rainy in the beginning of spring, the danger of
fire is hardly t» be feared. But it is just the contrary
in a dry spring such as we had last year. It seems
practically impossible to determine by law the period
during which fires may be safely started in choppings
and the matter should be left to the discretion of the
fire-ranger, who, being on the spot and knowing the cir-

cumstances, would give permits to do so at the proper.
and safe time.

DIAMETER OF PuLP Woon.-—According to the ad-
mission of experts black spruce is the best wood for
pulp-making.
more than eight or nine inches in diameter on the
stump at thirty inches above the soil. To subject this
wood to the rule applicable to the other kinds of
spruce, white and grey, would be simply to consign it
to an inevitable loss, since in reaching its maturity it
would dry up and perish before attaining the diameter
of 11 inches at the stump prescribed tor the white and
grey spruce.
allow a less diameter to permit its being utilized and
turned to ‘account for the revenue and for industry.
There are localities, however, and notably at Lake
St. John, where the best arable lands are covered with
black spruce. In these cases it seemsto us that it
would not be fair to the settlers and assuredly to the
public interest to not allow the license holders to cut
black spruce trees of less than eight inches in diameter
at the stump. Slight as it may appear, this change
would assure to the settlers enough timber for building
purposes,

DIAMETER OF CEDAR.—The regulations permit the
license-holders to cut cedar trees of nine inches dia-
meter at the stump. This is unquestionably too small.
When the cedar of nine inches at the stump has been
taken off, there remains for the settler nothing in the

This spruce attains only exceptionally

way of building timber and’ very little for fencing wood.»

The diameter for the license holders should be raised
to twelve inches.

At Wuat HEIGHT SHOULD THE DIAMETER BE
TaKEN.—Formerly trees were felled with the axe and
the cuttiug in this way was hardly possible at less than
two or there feet from the ground. Within several
years, this practice has been almost everywhere aban-
doned and the felling is done with the saw, which
allows of the trees being cut at twelve or even six
inches from the soil. In this way and without violat-
ing the letter of the regulations, the license-holder can
remove all the timber fit for use on a lot, especially the
white spruce, the yellow birch, and the cedar, and
leave practically ncthing for the settler. It would be
advisable to clearly specify in the regulations that the
prescribed diameter means the diameter at 24 inches
from the ground.

RECOVERING SUNKEN LOGS.

Diving for saw logs is a new industry to be engaged
in at Clear Lake, Mich., next summer by Messrs. J.W.
McCaffrey and A. J. Boyer, of Union City, and Henry
Dodge, of Cairo. They have just secured the title to
the land on which this lake is located-by purchase. It
was the property formerly owned by Frank Toompson,
now of Detroit, who conducted large lumbering opera-
tions on this lake 20 years ago. About 1,400 logs of
the best timber are in shallow water, and it is esti-
mated that at least 400,000 feet can be recovered by
employing divers in the deeper parts. Most of the logs
are clear white pine, and as they are water cured, a
top-notch price is assured for the lucky owners.

FORESTRY AT THE ONTARIO
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.

The Ontario Agricultural College is branching out in
every department of agricultural education. Mr. C. A.
Zavitz has been appointed to look after a plot of land
which has been set apart for forestry near the Mac-
donald Institute building. Some thirty thousand seed-
lings will be planted, principally Norway spruce, white
pine, white ash, basswood and sugar maple. These
young trees will be ready for distributioa among the
farmers in the spring of 1905 and 1906. Mr. Zavitz
will also attend to the distribution.

Mr. J. S. Larke, Canadian Trade Commissioner, Syd-

ly fifteen million dollars were expended on buildings in
Sydney. The building trade is a little quieter just now,

FORESTS AND WATER SUPPLY.

The Colorado Forestry Association claims
that every tree standing at an altitude of over
8500 feet means so many buckets of water
during the hot, dry season, when there is no
rainfall. Since the year 1900 there has never
at any time been nearly enough water in the
South Platte River to supply the water rights
which are claimed in its waters. During
these three years there are many water prior-
ities which have not received one drop of
water from this stream, becatse there was
not sufficient water to reach around to them,

while ten years ago they had a sufficiency.

These are statements made by experts. Con-
ditions are the same in all of the water courses
flowing down the eastern side of the moun-
tains, and on the western slope the conditions
are becoming the same. Everyone under-
stands that the forests in the mountains, es-
pecially in the altitudes above 8500 feet,
hold the snow until late in the springtime, and
often all through the summer, when in places
even much higher, where there is no forest,
the snow melts entirely away in April, and
during the entire summer the streams which
should be fed bv beds of snow are dry. So
serious has the situation grown regarding the

destruction of timber of the mountains that
United States Commissioner Henry Michelson
has secured an agreement from the state land
board that they will not sell any of the timber
belonging to the state without notifying him
and securing an expression of opinion from
him as to the advisability of holding such tim-
ber to conserve the water supply.

The Gold Medal Furniture Manufacturing Company,
of Toronto, have a modern wood-working factory sit-
uated on Van Horne and Dufferin streets. It has 7,-
400 feet of floor space and a dry kiln capacity of 100,-
ooo feet per week. They manufacture flooring, shee’-
ing, pine and veneered doors, etc.

COMBINATION —
GLUE SPREADER

WITH BOILER
IN POSITION

This machine cau be used to great advantage
in all wood-working plants where much_‘“‘built-
up stock” is used. It is simple, strong, well
built, efficient and durable, and has all necessary
adjustments which can be easily and quickly
made. It is so constructed that very little time
is required in changing it either to a single or
double glue spreading machine.

The LOWER GLUE TANK is fitted steam tight into the hot water tank, which has:all necessary steam and drain connections, the same as on our single

glue spreading machines.

Glue is supplied to the upper roll bya HOLLOW TROUGH CASTING, the ends of which are packed steam tight, and the steam and water connections

are made by means of the best yrade of steam hose.

This allows the trough to be raised or lowered without interfering with the steam joints.

The crough is fitted in

the journal boxes carrying the upper glue roll, so that it always remains in position for either thick or thin stock, and it is adjusted to or from the roll by means of hand- P

wheels shown in front of trough.

In this manner the quantity of glue left on the roll can-be regulated to suit the operator.

The hand-wheel shown at top of frame is used to raise or lower the upper glue roll, together with its glue trough and also the small idle roll. The cut shows the
small roll in position to be used as a single glue spreading machine; and by removing two small thumb-screws and swinging roll into position, shown by dotted lines, the
machine is ready to be used as a Double Spreading Machine.

The Glue Rolls, now furnished, are of our improved corrugated type.

A GLUE BOILER should be placed in position high enough to allow the glue to flow into upper glue trough as well as lower glue tank. The surplus glue in
the upper glue trough flows to the lower glue tank through pipe ‘‘D”. P

These machines are built in seven sizes, taking in the following widths of stock: 12, 18, 25, 31, 37;.44 and 72 inches, and up to four (4) inches in thickness.

The loose and tight pulleys are 10xz inches, and should make about 80 revolutions per minute.

We also make this machine as a Double Glue Spreading Machine only, without the small idle roll attached.

Our Special Catalogue No. 1284 of Modern Glue-Room Appliances shows Veneer Presses for all manner of work, various sizes and patterns of Glue

The spruce situation is not entirely void

+ncreasing number of enquiries for stock

- for shipment to the Eastern States, where
of dry spruce lumber is scarcely
equal to the demand. While there is no
improvement in British business, the loss
in this trade will be offset in part by larger
shipments to the Eastern States, if events
bear out the present outlook. The leading
market feature this week is the decline in
lath prices in New York, to which point
large consignments have recently been
made. The decline ranges from ‘twenty-
five to fifty cents and has caused a very
irregular market. American laths are
quoted at St. John at $2.05 to $2.10, and
provincial laths at $1.80 to $1.85. A
recovery from these prices will no doubt
occur in the near future, as the lath

proved. The ice is now out of the St.

to be a sufficient depth of water for driving

Vancouver before the rainy season sets in
next fall. The lumber dealers in Mani-
toba and the Territories are making pre-
parations for a large trade, the mills
having received an unusual number of
orders within the past fortnight. Great
difficulty is being experienced, however,
in filling orders owing to the shortage of
freight cars. Thisis no doubt due in part
to the recent tie-up of traffic by the slides
in the mountains. Many of the orders,
also, are going to the mills across the
border, and the importation from that
field promises to be very heavy this year,
to the detriment of the business of the
Canadian manufacturers. The British
Columbia mills are now unable to ship
lumber into Washington, the collectors of
customs having added to the import duty
on lumber the amount of the alleged ex-
port tax imposed by the British Columbia
Government on timber, making the duty
on some grades of lumber as high as
7.50 per thousand feet. The British
Columbia lumbermen have agiin request-
ed the Dominion Government to take

steps to remedy the unfair conditions.

which now exist, as a result of which
many mills are considering the question of
closing down. That such conditions
should exist in the face of an active lum-
ber demand calls for immediate action on

the part of the Dominion Government.
UNITED STATES.

There hasnot been the increased activity
in lumber which was expected upon the
advent of spring weather. The demand
is rather spasmodic and some dealers are
quite apathetic.
holders of stock are exhibiting some anx-
iety to realize, causing indications of
weakness in certain districts. Concessions
granted have been confined to narrow
limits, and in white pine to the higher
grades. Coarse lumber is about one dol-
lar higher than last year,this being the re-
sult of the abnormal demand for box-mak-
ing purposes. The building requirement
has not yet presented itself in full measure,
but there will no doubt be a heavy demand
from this source during the next few
weeks, as the outlook for building is con-
sidered good. The feeling at Buffalo and
Tonawanda is moderately hopeful. The
opening of navigation is welcome, as near-
ly all the box and low grade pine 1s in the
hands of the box-makers. Our list this week
shows a slight advance in the price of pine

The tone of the British lumber market is
slightly improved, the failures
having lost their effect to some extent.
Better weather has stimulated building
Operations and there seems to be less
apprehension of a further decline in prices.
Contracts for c.i.f. delivery cannot

but the seller and buyer appear to be
getting a little closer together. Spot
prices are holding up well, as merchants
are beginning to realize that the difference
between the price of lumber on hand”and
that asked for delivery this year does not
warrant them in sacrificing their stock.
The course of prices, however, largely
depends upon the question of demand,
and should a steady improvement take

place during the next few weeks, the
pessimistic feeling which has been so
prevalent would soon pass away.

At a recent public sale in London 3 x 11

recent

inch spruce deals brought £8 15s. to £9°

for second quality and £8 for thirds. First
quality Quepvec pine deals also sold some-
what low, but the lumber was scarcely up
to grade.

NEW BRUNSWICK LETTER.
(Correspondence of the CaNADA LUMBERMAN.)
St. Joun, N. B., April 28th, 1904.—
During the last few days the New York
market for laths has taken a decided

slump. This was very unexpected and
was caused by heavy arrivals of Maine
laths during the last ten days, probably
trom twelve to fifteen millions having been
received. American Jaths are worth to-
day, f.o.b. St. John, from $2.05 to $2.10,
and Provincial trom $1.80 to $1.85 per M.

The dealers in this vicinity seem to feel
that the depression in laths will be only
temporary and that the situation will im-
prove rapidly as soon as some of the sur-
plus has been worked off, but at any rate
the market is very unsettled and it is im-
possible to make a forecast with any cer-
tainly of being correct.

The Fredericton Boom Company, of
Fredericton, N. B., succeeded in placing
the last cf their booms in position on Mon-
day last. About 2,500,000 feet of spruce
and cedar logs had run past before this op-
eration was completed. Several tugs,to-
gether with strings of booms and large
crews of men,have been waiting at Gage-
town in charge of Mr.Fred Myles in ant c-
ipation of this emergency,and they have al-
ready succeeded in securing all the logs
that came. The manufacturers expected
at least five millions and possibly ten, and
are accordingly greatly elated because of
the favourable way in which the thing
has turned out.

Messrs. Donald Fraser & Sons, lumber
manufacturers, are moving their head of-
fice from Frederiction to St. John, where
they will occupy a handsome suite in the
Canada Life Building, Prince William St.

BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER.

| (Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)

VANCOUVER, B.C., April 27, 1904. —Com-

"mercial conditions in connection with the

lumber industry in British Columbia are
not very encouraging at the present time,
Prices are Auctuating, tending to a lower-
ing if anything, and the demoralization of
the market in the Northwest Territorities
and Manitoba is working great injury to
the mills. Mr. C. M. Beecher, vice-pre-
sident of the Hasting mill, known as the
B.C.Mills, Timber & Trading Company,has
announced that that large establishment
will close down. Export trade has fallen
oft to some extent, and this has been one
of the chiet factors in the business of this
mill since its beginning. This combined
with the ruination of the Northwest mar-
ket kas completed matters, and unless
conditions materially change other mills
are operating for a shut-down, Logs are
plentiful, and as soon as the Pacific Coast
Lumber Company cuts its supply, it too
will close for an indefinite period. Mr. J.
G. Scott, the manager, fixes the date
about September rst.

The mills in Washington state have tre-
mendously overcut, and some of the
shingle mills there have already been
closed down. The lumber manufacturers
have issued circulars to those engaged in
the trade here, asking them to close
down until the present supply is got rid of,
or say one day per week to curtail
production. It is on account of the great
quantity on hand in Washington that
British Columbia lumbermenare suffering.
The banks in that state fgrce the mills to
pay up, and as a result they have to sac-
rifice’ their cut. To save their own mar-
ket they ship at cut prices to the Cana-
dian Northwest, and the market there is
flooded with rough lumber to the great
detriment of the trade of this province.
The Government so far has refused the
duty asked for, thinking it in the interests

of the settlers that this should continue,
but it only means a convenience to the
American producer who is amply pro-
tected in his own country, and a forcing
of inactivity upon the British Columbia
mills, which may perhaps result in failure
to a large number unless reliet comes
soon.

OBITUARY.

Mr. CLauDE MCLACHLIN.

Mr, Claude McLachlin, who died in New York on
the morning of April 19th, was a member of the firm
of McLachlin Bros., of Arnprior, Ontario. He was
born in Ottawa in 1854, and was the youngest son of
the late Daniel McLachlin, one of the pioneer lumber-
men of the Ottawa Valley, who as far back as the
early forties was heavily interested in the square tim-
ber trade, and to some extent in the sawn lumber busi-
_ ness in Ottawa. In 1853 Mr. Daniel McLachlin pur-

chased the water powers at the mouth of the Mada-
- waska river and the land on which the town of Arn-

Tue Late Mr. Beene McLacuH.LIn.

prior now stands, and in 1857 moved up from Oitawa
to Arnprior with his family. In 1866 he erected the
first saw mill to saw lumber for the American market
in that place. In 1869 Mr. Daniel McLachlin retired
from business, leaving the work to be carried on by
his three oldest sons under the style of McLachlin

_ Bros. Before 1876 two of the members of this firm
died and in that year Mr. Claude McLachlin entered
into partnership with his elder brother, Mr. Hugh F.
McLachlin, who survives him, and the business has
ever since been carried on under the old name Mc-
Lachlin Bros.

At the time of the foundation of the new partnership
the business was entirely a Madawaska one, but as
timber became scarcer on that river a large steam

saw mill was erected on the bank of the Ottawa at
Arnprior, which could be reached with logs from all the
tributaries of the upper Ottawa as well as from the
main river itself. In 1893 the firm found it necessary

‘to meet the demands of their expanded business by
building another steam mill a short distance from the
first one.

_ Owing to the great extent of the business carried on
by the firm of which he was a member, Mr. McLach-
lin was of necessity brought into contact with the great
majority of those who are interested in the lumber
trade of Canada, and though a man possessed of a
markedly quiet manner, and of a rather retiring dis-
position, he had a faculty of obtaining the esteem of all
with whom he had business relations, as was evidenced
by the large number of prominent business men, es-
pecially those connected with the lumber trade, who

_- followed his remains to the grave in the Arnprior Cem-

~ etery.

His loss will be very deeply felt and lamented by all
those with whom he was most closely connected, by his
home town, in whose welfare he always took an active
interest, and also by the lumber trade at large as long
as energy, ability and integrity are looked upon as
the foundation stones of a wise and successful business

_ career.

Mr. SAMUEL CHEW.

Mention of the death of Mr. Samuel Chew, of Mid-

-* ae Ont., which occurred on March 2oth last, was

i inadvertently omitted from our April issue. Mr. Chew
was one of the early poineers of Midland. He was
n in me Sppaty.. ‘of York in ‘the year 1840, ‘and for

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN

a number of years was engaged in the lumber business
south of Orillia. He removed to Midland twenty-nine
years ago, where he continued in the lumber business”
for eight or ten years, when he purchased a farm in
the Township of Tay just outside the corporation of
Midland, where he resided with his family until his
death. Deceased had enjoyed the best of health
throughout his life until about two years ago, since
which time he gradually failed, death being finally due
to an attack of paralysis. He was most highly re-

‘spected, being of a very kindly and charitable disposi-

tion. Five brothers and six sisters survive him, the
former. being George, Thomas, and William, the well-
known lumbermen of Midland, Joseph, of Vancouver,
B.C., and Fred, of Apto, Ont.

Mr. Tuomas COLE.

The recent death of Mr. Thomas Cole, of Westboro,
Ont., removed one ot the pioneer lumbermen of the
Ottawa Valley. Mr. Cole was born in Devonshire,
England, in 1820, being therefore in his eighty-fourth
year. He came to Canada when quite young and was
attracted into the lumber business, first locating at
Papineauville, Que., and taking out square timber on
contract. Later he entered the employ of Mr. Allan
Gilmour, who was at that time probably the heaviest
timber operator in Canada. He was appointed man-
ager of his business on the Nation River, and in this
capacity became widely known throughout lumber
circles. Some years later he became a partner of the
late James McLaren, of Buckingham, Mr. J. C. Ed-
wards and Mr. Daniel Cameron ina firm which ac-
quired the Gilmour timber and saw mill interests on
the Nation river. This firm did business at the North
Nation Mills until 1878, when through the death of Mr.
Cameron the business was wound up. Shortly after
this time Mr. Cole bought the Thompson farm and
homestead at Westboro, where he lived for the balance
of his days. He leaves a wife, four sons and five
daughters.

Mr. WILLIAM ROBERT DICK.

Mr. William Robert Dick, a pioneer lumberman of
Winnipeg, Manitoba, died at his residence, 436 Ed-
monton street, on Thursday evening, March 31st, after
a brief illness, at the ripe old age of g3. He was born

THE re Mr. ye nian osuer Dick.

at Kingston, Ont., on December gist, 1821, and when
a boy moved with his parents to the Township of Fene-
lon, in Victoria County, Ont., where he was brought
up. He served as Reeve of the Township for several
years, as well as serving on the County Council. In
the early days of 1871 he traced his way west and in
the following year removed his family to Winnipeg.
Mr. Dick’s first business was that of lumbering, and

‘he built a saw mill at the foot of Lombard street on

the banks of the Red River. The late W.W. Banning
went west at the same time as Mr. Dick, and from
their acquaintanceship through being fellow travellers
in the early days, they became partners in the lumber-
ing venture, the firm being called Dick & Barning.

In 1875 they took up timber limits on the east shore of

—

23

Lake W nnipeg, and built a large saw mill, which was
kept running at full capacity manufacturing Jumber for s
the growing little city of Winnipeg and vicinity.

In 1881, the C.P.R. having just been built east as
far as Rat Portage, making it possible to ship lumber
in from the Lake of the Woods district, and the city
as well as the country west experiencing a wonderful
boom, the firm bought out the wholesale Jumbering
and manufacturing business of the late W. J. McAulay
at Keewatin. In 1893 the mills at Rat Portage and
Norman amalgamated under the charter of the Rat
Portage Lumber Company, since which time the late
Mr. Dick led a retired life at his home in Winnipeg.

Mr. Dick was elected a member of the Legislative
Assembly of Manitoba in 1874, representing Spring-
field for one term as a Liberal, after which he
retired trom public life, although solicited on several
occasions to again enter the field as a candidate for
municipal and provincial honors. He was a member
of the First Baptist Church, Winnipeg, being one of
the seven constituent members when the church was
organized in 1873 by Pastor McDonald. Mr. Dick was
married in 1843 to Isabella, daughter of Robert Will-
cock, of the Township of Mariposa, Victoria County,
Ont., who died in 1899. Three sons and three daugh-
ters survive.

Mr. JOSEPH NADEAU.

Mr. Joseph Nadeau, head of the Port Daniel Lumber
Company, of Port Daniel, Que., died in the city of

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN

TIMBER SLIDE TOLLS.

The following judgment, given in the King’s
Bench Divisional Court, by Chief Justice Street,
is of interest to all persons owning or using
improvements on rivers or streams :

In Re. Beck AND THE ONTARIO LUMBER
Co.—This was an appeal by the Ontario Lum-
ber Company from an order of the Judge of
the District Court of Nipissing made upon the
application of the C. Beck Manufacturing
Company, Limited, under Sec. 13 of R.S.O.,

Ch. 142, fiving the tolls upoo logs floated by-

the Ontario Lumber Company through a
stream called Post Creek, upon which the ap-
plicants had made certain improvements.

At the hearing on the 16th December, 1903,
before the learned District Judge, after some
evidence had been taken a verbal arrangement
was entered into between the parties for the
purpose of empowering him to fix provisional
tolls, which were to be corrected at a later
stage in the proceedings, when further neces-
sary particulars had been obtained.

The learned Judge, however, proceeded
sbortly afterwards to deliver his judgment, ab-
solutely fixing the tolls ; and the Ontario Lum-
ber Company appealed, upon the grounds,
amongst others, that the learned Judge had
not carried into effect the agreement of the
parties ; that he had charged the Ontario Lum-
ber Company with tolls upon logs which had
been floated down the stream before the tolls
were fixed, and that in fixing the tolls he had
taken into consideration certain improvenients
alleged to have been constructed by certain
persons named Pelton & Reid who were for-
merly interested in a portion of the limits af-
fected, and to have been purchased by the C.
Beck Company from them.

On February 17th the appeal was argued
before a Divisional Court composed of Falcon-
bridge, C.J.K.B., and Street and Britton, J.J.,
A. B. Aylesworth, K.C., and A. G. F. Law-
rence for the appeal. H. E. Hodgins, K.C.,
contra.

March 16th, Street J.: In the course of the
trial the learned District Judge seems to have
suggested to the parties, and they seem to
have agreed, that he should be permitted to
fix provisionally arate of toll taking as the
basis for it the plaintiff's statement of the cost
of the improvements on the river, and the
quantity of logs which the two parties and any
other persons had passed over them, or would
probably pass over them during 1904, the date
of toll so fixed to be revised and corrected
upon other data being obtained, and the par-
ties to pay or refund according to the revised
figures; the defendants insisting that this
agreement should not be taken as an admis-
sion of the Beck Company’s right to take the
Pelton & Reid improvements into account, nor
his right to recover tolls for any period ear-
lier than the season of 1904, nor that the Beck
Company were owners of the Pelton & Reid

improvements, nor the value of those improve-

ments.

The learned Judge after hearing further ~

evidence as to the cost of the disputed improve-

‘ments and the title to them, and as to the

number of logs run over the improvements

. during 1901, 1902 and 1903 by the Beck Com-

pany, and the quantity estimated for 1904,
made an absolute and unqualified order fixing

-arate of forty cents per thousand feet board

measure as the rate of toll to which the Beck
Company were entitled, without specitying
whether it was to be applicable to logs floated
down by the Ontario Lumber Company in the
past as well as the future, or in the future only.

The Beck Company claim upon the argument
that it was intended to apply both in the past

‘and the future.

The Ontario Lumber’ Company appealed
upon the ground that the learned Judge had

disregarded the terms of the agreement at the
trial under which they had abstained from
“giving evidence as to their past and intended
cut. There was in fact no evidence given on
the part of either of the parties as to the pro-
portion which the cut of the Ontario Lumber
Company in the past and the logs which
remained uncut upon their limits bore to the
cut of the Beck Company and to the logs
remaining uncut upon the Beck Company’s
limits. Nor was any evidence given to show
whatogs had been passed over the improve-
ments by Pelton & Reid while they owned the
improvements.

The learned Judge in his order says: ‘‘In the
absence of any evidence on the part of the
respondents, I find that the improvements and
constructions for floating and transmitting saw
logs or other timber on said Post Creek are
used by the applicants and respondents only,
and by them in equal proportions.”

This finding, however, is made in the absence
of any evidence on the part of either the appli-
cants or respondents, and as the rate of toll
has evidently been fixed upon the finding set
forth it should not be allowed to stand. The
applicants, the Beck Company, were bound to
support their application tor the fixing of toll
by evidence upon the points referred to in the
finding, if those points were material, as no
doubt they were, and no tolls could properly be
fixed in the absence of such evidence.

Then I think the learned Judge has not
acted upon the consent given at the hearing,
which is only intelligible if it means that no
final judgment is to be given upon the applica-
tion until inspection of the improvements has
been made and other particulars obtained, and
that in the meantime a provisional rate should
be fixed by the judge and acted on by the
parties subject to correction upon the final
judgment being given when differences between
the provisional and final tolls should be adjust-
ed. The proposed arrangement is by no means
clear, nor can its intention be ascertained with
certainty ; but the parties appear to have ab-
stained from giving some evidence upon the
understanding that the tolls to be fixed were
merely provisional and they should be put back
to their former position.

With regard to the Pelton & Reid improve-
ments, the agreement between Pelton & Reid
and the Beck Company of 27th March, t1gor,
is sufficient to transfer them to the Beck Com-
pany. Their cost, however, or their value are
not the only elements to be taken into account
when they are brought in as part of the ma-
terial upon which tolls are to be fixed.

It should further be ascertainea what quan-
tity of logs had been passed over them by
Pelton & Reid themselves before the transfer
to the Beck Company. Suppose that these
improvements had been made in the first place
by the Beck Company and that they had also
owned the Indian Reserve timber limit upon
which the improvements are situated, and had
cut down and floated down the improvements
all the timber upon the Indian Reserve, it is
plain that in fixing the tolls to be paid by per-
sons up the stream for subsequently using
these improvements it would be proper to take
into account the use already made of them and
the benefft derived from them by the Beck
Company in respect of the timber on the Re-
serve ; and the position of their assignee of
the improvements cannot be any better under
the Act than that of the person who originally
made them.
been considered in fixing the tolls.

Upon the construction of the Act R.S.O.,
Ch. 142, I cannot find any authority for the
position that a person who has made improve-
ments upon a stream can obtain from the
District or County Judge an order fixing tolls
to be paid upon logs which have been floated
over them previous to the making of the order.
A contrary interpretation would entitle the

owner of the improvements to go back tor
years and recover tolls fixed in 1900 upon logs be
floated down in 1894 for instance. oy
The reasonable tolls payable under Sec. rf ‘s
are to be taken as being those fixed under Sec. —
13, and they are chargeable: upon all logs b
going down after the tolls are fixed. The pro- ~
visions of Sec. 19, under which alien fora
summary method of collecting tolls, are given,
show that the tolls mentioned in the Act, in
accordance with the nature of tolls in general,
are definite sums, ascertained in the manner
provided by the Act before the logs became
liable to them. :
There is no hardship upon the owner of the —
improvements in so holding, because the pre-
ceeding before the judge is of a most summary —
character and may be made by him at any time. _
It appears, therefore, to be necessary that —

SUPERIORITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA
SHINGLES, | i

We have always maintained that the British
Columbia red cedar shingle was a superior
article in respect to manufacture, the reason
for which probably lies in the fact that until
recently the business was confined toa few —
enterprising manufacturers who a few years
ago set themselves to work to carve ‘outa
market for B.C. shingles. Their motto seemed
to be excellence ot manufacture. How well
they have succeeded is shown by the large
number of new mills which have since been
built, but more strikingly still by the admission
which has just been made by the Interstate
Red Cedar Shingle Company, which is the sell-
ing pool for the shingle mills of the State of
Washington. This company has issued to
mill owners a warning which contains the
following :

“We find the market for Washington red cedar ~
shingles is indanger from Redwood and British Colum- __
bia shingles on account of their superior qualiies in
manufacture and packing. Eastern lumbermen are
criticizing our shingles and we must improve our grades.
We believe you should immediately advise your filers,
sawyers, knotsawyers and packers that this matter of
poor grades is serious and is actually responsible for
much of the decline in prices. The above statements

are not exaggerated, and unless manufacturers and~
their employees use more care in getting out well-made _
and carefully packed shingles, piles goods will eet our

market.’ >

#

It must be a source of eratihtaber to British
Columbia millmen to know that their efforts to
produce a first-class article are appreciated by
the trade and that buyers are discriminating _
against those mills which turn out an inferior ae
grade of shingle. It is this consideration .
which has enabled them to market their p
duct in the United States even in the face
an import duty. It is to be hoped, howe
that the British Columbia manufacturers

tinue to endeavor to produce an article whi
will have no rival. The large number of
mills which have lately been~ built in Bri
Columbia is a source of danger in this respect
and it might be advisable for the Br

Association to especially impress upon ‘their
members, as well as those outside the associa- —
tion, the advantages of maintaining a hig a

tend, and when the logs have been cut into suitable
lengths, they will be ‘‘snaked” into the water with
this apparatus. It is thought that the method will
work successfully.

—The McAllister Company have recently completed
a new saw mill at Hawksville, Ont. The building is
50 feet square, with a smoke stack 75 feet high.
The engine, 50 horse power, and the boiler, 60 horse
power with 52 flues, were supplied by E. Leonard &
Sons, of London, Ont., and the saw mill equipment
proper by the Waterous Company, of Brantford. The
company have a considerable quantity of logs on hand
and expect a busy season. They will
cooperage stock as well as lumber.

the statement made by Mr. Fyfe Smith, who reached
Vnncouver, B.C., recently from Australia. He says
that piles are made 50 feet long from the turpentine
tree of Australia, and without being doctored are put
into the water barkandall. The peculiar properties of
the turpentine wood are objectionable to the toredo,
and he gives the piles a wide berth. Mr. Smith has

Two catalogues of interest to the woodworking trade
have been issued by Messrs. Hammacher, Schlemmer

and is entitled ‘‘Saws and a Few Saw Sets.”” The se-
cond is No. 226 and refers exclusively to planes. These
catalogues are unique in that tool houses do not ordin-
arily issue separate catalogues of these lines. They
are also quite comprehensive, and as they are distri-

interested should write the company fora copy. Their

CRAIG MINE CRYSTAL CORUNDUM WHEELS

Our Pure Crystal Corundum Saw Gummers have
no equal for their rapid, cool, cutting properties.

Read the following from Bulletin 180 of the United States Geological Survey, which says :

‘Often a distinction is made between emery and corundum, many persons not recognizing emery as a variety of
corundum. ;

Emery is a mechanical] admixture of corundum and magnetite or hematite. It is, of course, the presence

of corundum in the emery that gives to it its abrasive qualities and makes it of commercial value, and the abrasive
efficiency of emeries varies according to the percentage of corundum they contain.”

Emery is imported, mined by Greeks and Turks and contains only about 25%
corundum, Our Crystal Corundum is guaranteed to be 98% pure alumina, a Can-
adian product, mined and manufactured by . anadians for Canadians.

LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT.

The following letter was addressed to the
president of the Western Retail Lumbermen’s
Association by Mr. D. E. Sprague, of Winni-
peg, who was obliged to be absent from the
city when the annual meeting was held on
March 23. It refers to a meeting of manufac-
turers held in Winnipeg a few weeks previous
to the convention of retailers:

My Dear Mr. Campbell:

I regret exceedingly that owing to your recent illness
you were unable to be present and preside at the meet-
ing recently held here of the Honorary members with
those of the Active members who were able to attend.

At this meeting large and influential delegations
were present representing the manufacturing interests
both at the Coast and in the Mountains. From the
trend of the discussion, it would appear that the Honor-
ary members in British Columbia had become imbued
with the idea that the retail dealers were receiving
excessive profits, and were in consequence responsible
for the agitation and criticisms aimed at the lumber
interest in the Northwest generally, and that their
interests were prejudiced by the greed of the Active
members. It was amply demonstrated, and I believe
convincingly, that apart from a very few isolated
instances, where exceptional conditions prevailed, the
profit obtained by the retail dealer was not more than
that allowed by the by-laws, viz., 20 per cent., and it
rarely exceeded 15 per cent., surely as small a margin
as will profitably maintain any lumber business. This
information went towards strengthening the good
feeling between the Honorary and Active members.
Knowing their own margin of profit and having satis-
factory evidence of the reasonable profit of the retailer,
they were forced to the conclusion that the consumers
of lumber in Manitoba and the Northwest procured
their supply of lumber as cheap as it was possible to
furnish it. So far as the cost properly belonging to the
manufacturer and retail dealer was concerned, the only
other factor entering into the cost of lumber to the
consumer is the charge for transportation. To this last
item of cost the delegations, therefore, directed their
attention, with what success we have had some intim-
ation.

The net result of the conference seems to have been
to promote the most friendly feeling between the two
classes of members, and to stimulate the loyalty of both
to the Constitution and By-Laws of the Association ;
but more important still, so far as the resident public
and the incoming settlers are concerned, was to
establish beyond successful contradiction the fact that
lumber can be procured in Manitoba and the Northwest
Territories at retail as cheap, if not cheaper, than in
Minnesota and Dakota, notwithstanding the fact that

.the largest source of the pine supply is located in
Minnesota, and that the territory served is much nearer
the point of production than that covered by our
members.

The operation of the Association so far as regulating
prices within proper limits, maintaining suitable stocks
and the dealing of the Active members with the public,
was justified in the minds of the Honorary members,
and it gives me pleasure to be able to tell you that they
were not slow in expressing their satisfaction and

_admitting that the information upon which they had

_ formed their earlier opinions had been misleading and

incorrect ; as statements made regarding the Associa-
tion generally are.

I regret exceedingly that I shall be unavoidably
absent from the meeting. I shall, however, be deeply
interested in the proceedings.

Trusting that you may have a profitable and satis-
factory session, and looking forward to again address-
ing you as President, I am, with kindest regards,

Sincerely Yours,

MR. N. A. RHODES.

Mr. N. A. Rhodes, vice-president of Rhodes,
Curry & Company, Limited, manufacturers and
builders, Amherst, N. S., is a self-made man in
every sense of the word, having lost his parents
at an early age and being thrown on his own
resources when ten years old. He was born in
Amherst, N. S., in 1845. After learning the

where he remained for ten years, during five
years of which he held a responsible position
as superintendent with a pia building’ and
contracting firm.

In 1877 Mr. Rhodes returned to Amherst and
engaged in the manufacture of building materi-
als. Later. he took into partnership his brother-
in-law, Mr. N. Curry, who is now president of
Rhodes, Curry & Company, Limited. The busi-
ness of this company is varied in character and
includ2s operation of saw mills, planing mills,
lath mills, shingle mills, brick works,car works,
machine works and foundry. The figures of
the business speak for themselves and need no
further comment. The total business transacted
in 1903 was $2,700,000; wages paid, $483,000;
freight paid, $154,567. 54-

Mr. Rhodes also holds large interests in

other enterprises. He is half-owner in a large —
lumber concern at Sheet Harbor, N.S., where —
ine and his partner, Mr. Curry, are operating only
a large scale. He held a large interest ina
Newfoundland lumber property, which was
recently sold to a Boston firm for a large —
figure. He is also interested in other lumber »
properties. .

Mr. Rhodes is a director of the Misaquash

large block of over 5,000 acres of bog marsh, _
on which they have expended $60,000 i in cutting — F
a canal about seven miles long through the — e
centre of the marsh, draining off the fresh
water and allowing the salt water and mud to
kill the vegetable matter. This has proven a | a
great success and will be a wonderful source of —
revenue to the province in which it lies. He — a
is also a director of the Maritime Heating Com- —
pany, who employ a large number of men,
make the Robb heater, and carry on a machine
business. He is a large owner in the New
Brunswick Petroleum Company, for which
there is a good outlook. The company have
bored forty wells, all of which are giving
splendid results. The oil is of the best quality
and the company is now arranging to build a
refinery.
As one of the Governors of Acadia University —
at Wolfville, N.S., Mr. Rhodes takes anactive
interest in the progress of that institution. He — ‘
believes in a young man aiming high, and that
with honesty and hard work the highest aims
can be attained. .
The popularity of Mr. Rhodes asacitizen
was evidenced by his recent election as Mayor
of Amherst, the first public office, which he
ever sought.

KILN-DRYING HARDWOODS.
Concerning the drying of hardwoods « awriter
in The Wood-Worker says: _ F

As for the question of air-seasoning lumber
before it is kiln-dried, that is a matter of —
opinion, and depends largely on whether y
can carry a sufficient stock to allow of it. I
do not consider it a necessity, as lumber | c
be dried as well green, if done properly,
without checking, but under ordinary |
ditions and with the appliances generally in

draws the moisture from the pores of the wood “a

—

as much as does the heat. Of course, this air- ;
drying helps the lumber when placed in the

kiln, as the sap and much of the water is gone
from the wood and the heat doesn’t contract
the cells or pores quite so much.

The great trouble with hardwood lumber in
drying is the tendency to honeycomb, which is
due largely to the contraction of the pores on
the surface before the moisture is released from
the center. This is accomplished in air-drying
because there is no extreme heat to close the

pores, which remain in their natural state.
s You will readily see that if we keep the pores
* of the wood open until the moisture is drawn
eS from the center, we avoid honeycomb or check-

ing. The greener the stock the more apt it is
to check. Oak is probably the worst of all
hardwoods to honeycomb, owing to the coarse-
ness of the grain and consequent amount of

____ sap and water it contains. Maple is more apt
= to have what we call blind checks.

+ One thing that I think is not properly con-
= sidered is proper sticking of hardwood. The
sticks should be narrow and project slightly
Pp over the ends:of the lumber, each length pile
= separately and not too tight, keeping the sticks
a directly over each other. Then each piled
y should be well covered from the weather, pitch
enough being given to the pile to shed rain
= easily. Lumber stuck this way rarely checks
& far at the ends and will come out bright in col-
= or, which is the main feature in fine finish.

= Lumber air-dried fairly well should not take
Se over five or six days to thoroughly dry, if héat
b. is kept on continuously (which is preferable).
> Hardwood can be dried in less time, but I
be: should not advise it under the ordinary con-
£ _ ditions, as it requires close watching and
a better facilities than most plants are equipped
= with. There are few men who make first
& j class lumber pilers, and that accounts for a
bs great deal of crooked lumber. Great care
should be taken to pile it straight, not too
a tightly, using as narrow sticks as possible.
x Lumber properly stuck will dry with much less
sh danger of checks or honeycomb.

As for the method of drying, there are many
= that are good, and the time varies according
to treatment. Ihave dried perfectly green
_ stock in six days, but had specially arranged

equipment for it. I will take the most ordin-
ary method at present and give so:re points
_. for consideration. I think the ordinary blast-
— kiln very satisfactory under ordinary condi-
tions. I would advise along kiln, cars to be

your next order, and give us a chance to demonstrate our ability to give you Satis-

faction in this very important department of your business,

loaded at one end and unloaded dry at the
other. By making the kiln long enough for
eight or ten cars of about 2,000 feet of lumber
each, you can take out one or two cars daily,
if partly seasoned before putting in the kiln.
One advantage of such a kiln is that the lum-
ber is moved forward to the higher degree of
heat gradually. In filling the kiln I should fill
only two or three cars the first day, allowing
only about 100 degrees heat at first, then fill a
couple of cars each day, letting the others
down until the kiln was full, then increase the
heat from 130 to 140 degrees.

When the kiln is full the air is partly laden
with moisture before it reaches the fresh stock,
and does not check it so badly. If there is
still a tendency to check the lumber, I should
have steam pipes put in, with a valve opening
in front of the hot-air inlet, by which I could
let on live steam to moisten the air as it comes
into the kiln. This keeps the outside pores
open until the stock is dry. If you were to
try this where you have been troubled with
checks and honeycomb you would be sur-
prised at the beneficial results, as the lumber
is not case hardened, but soft and more easily
worked. It does not require much steam. If
lumber can be given a good steam bath before
turning on heat it hastens the drying. Of
course, the thicker lumber requires a longer
time to dry. I have taken twenty days to dry
4-inch hard maple, but it came out in first-class
shape, free of checks and as wide as 16 inches.

DOUBLE CYLINDER “ LIGHTNING” FLOORER.

We take pleasure in showing our readers an improv-
ed flooring machine and we know all those who have
this class of work to do will be interested in its merits.
It was patented March 2oth, 1900, and is built especi-
ally for those who make flooring, ceiling, siding, casing
and other work of that character in large quantities.
Attention is directed to some of its important points
claimed by the manvfacturers :

1. It works 4 sides, 9 or 14 inches wide, 6 inches
thick, and by the use of belt-tightening apparatus, 114
inch stock can be matched to advantage. This last
device is a decided improvement on this machine and
one easily appreciated by all lumbermen. The frame
is massive, prevents vibration, and resists all strain,
and the machine can be run at a very high rate ot
speed, under instant control of operator.

2. The feed is six large powerfully-driven rolls, with
expansion gearing, that can be easily raised and
lowered, and the feeding-out one is provided with
scrapers.

3. The matching works are very heavy, and cylin-
ders tour sided and slotted, and chip breaking lips are

Taken altogether, this machine will be found to
possess many new advantages, and is in fact one of

NEW PULP MILL COMPLETED.

We learn that the erection of the new pulp
mill by the Chicoutimi Pulp Mill Company,
Limited, at Grand Mere, Que., is now com-
pleted. This work has been in hand for near-
ly two years. It is probably one of the finest
pulp mills in Canada, and has been built with
a view of utilizing all modern improvements
for convenience and utility. In addition to the
mill itself, the company are providing an es-
tate of forty houses, a church and _ parochial
offices, and everything needful for their em-
ployees and the establishing of a trading

village.

The architect whohad the carrying out. of
this extensive establishment is Mr. R. P.
Lemay, of St. John Street, Quebec.

NEW SUPPLY OF PAPER.

It is announced that peat has been found to
make an excellent quality of paper. A large
mill was established a few months ago at Cel-
bridge,County Kildare, Ireland, which has been
engaged in converting Irish peat into wrapping
paper of various grades. The mill site is on
the River Liffey about twenty-five miles from
Dublin, near the eastern margin of the great
bog of Allen which extends westward about
seventy miles to the River Shannon.

The process of converting the peat into
Carts
are engaged hauling the raw peat from the bog,
where it is dug direct to the mill. Then begin
the various processes of cooking with the
necessary chemicals until it becomes reduced
to the condition of pulp required, after which
the methods followed are very similar to those
of the ordinary paper mill. It is somewhat of
a singular sight to see the black peat fresh
from the bog thrown into the mill at one end
and follow it to the other end where it emerges
as paper. It is claimed for the new industry,
this latest discovery,
opulent mine of wealth among the Irish people.

THE PULP INDUSTRY IN ONTARIO.

The annual report of the Crown Lands De-
partment of Ontario contains the following
reference to the wood pulp industry :

The Sault Ste Marie Pulp & Paper Company
took out considerable quantities of pulp wood
last winter, but owing to the unfor.unate finan-
cial condition into which the affairs of this com-
pany have fallen, the pulp mills as well as the
other industries were shut down for a con-
siderable period. The Receiver has been
operating the pulp mills since the beginning of
November, and using up the wood taken out
by the company last winter.

_ The Sturgeon Falls Pulp Company has com-
pleted its new mills, and carried out to the full
its contract with the Government, and has now
in operation an extensive plant, capable of
turning out from 40 to 50 tons of newspaper
per diem. This company is taking out during
the present winter a large supply of pulp wood.

The Spanish River Pulp and Paper Company
has the construction of its plant sufficiently
well advanced to warrant it in taking out
a supply of pulp -wood during the present
winter.

The Nepigon Pulp & Paper Company pro-
poses to proceed with the erection of its mills
on the opening ot navigation.

The Rainy River Pulp Company has had
plans prepared, and is about to construct its
dam at Sand Island Falls, on the Seine River,
where it proposes to develop some 10,000
horse power.

The Montreal Pulp and Paper Company has
not yet proceeded with active development.

The territory covered by the Blanche River
pulp concession, having been almost entirely
settled up, the benefit of the pulp wood upon
the lands will inure to the settlers instead of to
the Crown. This company, however, has not
yet erected its mills.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PULP AND
PAPER INDUSTRY.

The Quebec Colonization Commission has
reported at some length upon the various
measures that have been proposed to stimulate
the development of the pulp and paper in-
dustry, and in conclusion says: ‘‘ There re-
mains, therefore, as a practical means of stimu-
lating the development of the industry, only the
payment of an export bounty on paper manu-
factured in the country. Such a means of en-
couraging our native industry entails no draw-
backs. It is acknowledged as the most effective
and its effect would be immediate.”

Concerning the imposition by the Quebec
Government of a stumpage sur-tax on the pulp
wood cut on Crown Jands and exported to the
United States, the Commission argue as fol-
lows +

In addition to the other drawbacks it entails,
the imposition of a stumpage sur-tax by the
provincial authorities would effect only far too
small a proportion of the timber exported to
yield results of any importance. The following
facts seem to place this beyond a doubt :

From the information supplied us by the
Department of Customs it appears that there
were exported from Canada to the United
States 374,338 cords of pulp wood, whereot

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN OE ae

‘real cost of transportation to $6 a ton on the +f

_ product of their mills on the American mar-—

322,395 cords or 84.95 per cent. came from th
Province of Quebec. The report of the Crown
Lands Department of Quebec shows that, in
fact, 202,633 cords of pulp-wood were cut on ©
Crown lands in 1903, whereof only 51,962 —
cords were exported. Deduct this quantity —
from the total exported, say 322,393 cords,
and there remain 270,433 cords which were
evidently cut in the seigniories and on patented —
lands.
This clearly shows tbat the stumpage sur-
tax imposed hy the Quebec Government can —
affect only a very small portion, one-sixth at—
the most, of the pulp wood we export to the
United States. Moreover, such sur-tax has
the drawback of putting the settler who estabag
lishes himself on a Crown lands lot in an
exceedingly disadvantageous position as com-_
pared with him who settles on a lot in a
seigniory. If pulp wood sells at $4 the settler
in a seigniory gets $4 net for himself, while the —
settler on a Crown lot who gets $4 for his
wood is compelled to deduct from such roa
stumpage payable to the Crown, 65 cents, —
which leaves him only $3.35 net.
In reason and in equity a government |
should not be guilty of such inyustice ppb ae. ,
settlers who undertake to settle on its lands. —
The imposition by the Federal Government
of an export duty on pulp wood, say the Com- —
mission, would be a more effective means of —
attaining the desired end. The question is to —
know whether it would be prudent or equit-
able to adopt it. To be effective, this export
duty should be high enough to counterbalance ~
the difference between the cost of transporting — —
the pulp and pulp-wood and the import duty
imposed on pulp in the United States.
Between Ottawa and certain points in dis. 4
United States, notably Buffalo and Shorts-
ville, the cost of shipping pulpwood and pulp —
is $2.60 per ton for the wood, and $3 per ton
for the pulp. It takes a cord of wood to make
a ton of pulp, dry weight. But ground or —
mechanical pulp holds 50 per cent. of water,
so that to ship a ton of this pulp to the United ©
States, transportation must be paid on two
tons of freight—on the pulp itself and on the — a
water which it contains—which brings up the —

dry weight. Pulpwood only pays $2.60 ton, —
which makes a difference of $3.40 per ton —
against our pulp-makers. Pulpwood pays no
import duty in the United States,but pulp pays
one of two dollars and-upwards per ton, which
increases to $5.40, the disadvantage under —
which our pulpmakers labor in placing the 4

kets. To overcome this disadvantage and
place our Canadian manafacturers on an equal ~
footing with the United States, it _appears to
us clear that we must give them the benefit of ¥
an export duty of at least $5 or $6 a cord on
pulpwood. _ :
In the long run, or rather at the end ofiars
few years, the imposition of this export duty —
on timber would certainly produce the desired —
result, and would give a marvellous impetus —
to the pulp and paper industry ; but the AB A
adoption of this measure would have the im-— x
mediate effect of ruining by far the ae .
number of the pulp mills now in operation in
the province. This is the opinion of Mr. J. A. 4
Dubuc, manager of the Chicoutimi Pulp Co
pany, and undeniably one of the most com- —
petent men to express a pertinent and practical :
opinion on this question. ree

HOO-HOO AT CHATHAM.

success, and the five and forty lumber dealers
who participated therein will long cherish the
memory of that gathering. A class of nine-

their names have been added to the growing
roll of Ontario Hoo-Hoo. That the arrange-

were in the hands of Messrs. Chas. and Will
Hadley was a guarantee that there would be
nothing lacking. Chatham’s hospitality is
famous ; the Hadleys have made it so. The
visitors had looked forward to a good time,
but the realization outdid their fondest dreams,
and words failed to express their gratitude to

If solid saws are used, the larger one, when
worn down ¢an be used for the smaller one,
thus saving expense for saws.

No difficulties in handling or setting by this
machine and no delays.

No time is lost in setting for any thickness
from the cut of stationary saw up to six inches.

This machine takes the place of a resaw in a
mill and only requires a floor space of 6 ft. x 6 ft.

Also takes the place ofa Twin Circular Mill
that is now used for slabbing, and this machine
will side as much lumber as any Twin Circular,
thus saving the expense of a resaw and men to
operate the same.

This machine is so cheap that any manufac-
turer of lumber can well afford to have one, for it
will pay for itself in a short time.

Will cut 50 per cent. more lumber than the
Circular Mills now in use.

Yours very truly,

THE

PROFITS FROM FORESTRY.

In the Black Forest ot Germany is the little
city of Freudenstadt, with about 7000 inhabi-
tants, a busy industrial place, with iron and
chemical works of some importance. Small
as it is, Freudenstadt is a full-fledged city,
with a mayor, half a dozen po'icemen and a
fire engine. The public business is conducted
on an econimical basis, and the total expenses
do not exceed $25,000 a year.

Freudenstadt has the distinction of being
the only city in Germany, and perhaps in the
world, which“does not tax the citizens a dollar
for municipal expenses. The yearly net reven-
ue from the public property covers all the out-
go. This property consists of about 6,000
acres of fine forest, which, being managed un-
der the best forestry methods, is a permanent
source of income. One or more trees are plant-

ed for every one that is cut down. No tree is
cut till it can yield the maximum profit. After
deducting all the expenses of the industry the
annual profit to the acre is about $5. __—‘ This is
exceptional, even for Germany, where the an-
nual profit ranges from $3 to $4.50.

The question is often asked in this country
whether it will pay to keep land under perman-
ent forest. Unless at least a moderate profit
is possible no one can be expected to grow
trees on land that can be used for any other
purpose.

The Rhode Island Experiment Station is
now giving some attention to this question,
and in a bulletin just prepared by Prof. F. W.
Card some interesting figures are presented.
He cites the experience of Zachariah Allen,
of Rhode Island, who planted a worn pasture
with trees in 1820 and kept a careful financial

record till 1877—57 years. After deducting ©
all expenses he found that his profit was near- —
ly 7 percent. per annum on the original in-
vestment.
There is also a record of the returns ona
40-acre tract of white pine in New Hampshire
tor 80 years, during which time the average
annual profit was $3.75 an acre. The facts
given by Professor Card seen to show that
only a moderate profit is to be expected from
forests treated as a permanent crop. Perhaps
we cannot make as much money in this indus- —
try as is made in Europe, where every part of —
a tree can be marketed at some price, even the
small branches and twigs being gathered into
bundles and sold for firewood. >

FORESTS OF HARDWOOD.

A resident of Bancroft, Ont., writes to the Toronto
Globe as follows :

The question of whether the city man in the country
or the country man in the city is the greener has been
suggested as a subject for debating societies. A few
days ago I saw it stated in the report of the proceed-
ings of the Provincial Parliameut that a prominent
member of the Opposition had expressed surprise at
the statement made by the Commissioner of Crown
Lands that there were large areas of hardwood land
that are valueless for agricultural purposes. In the
northern part of the county of Hastings and in the
provisional county of Haliburton, and more or less
from the Georgian Bay nearly to Perth, a very large
percentage of thé land is densely covered with hard-
wood—where it has not been burned up—and it is safe

to say that three-fourths of this land could never be
ploughed on account of rock and stone. In some parts
the soil is of fairly good quality, but boulders and pro-
jecting rocks render it practically valueless. When first

cleared such land often produces excellent crops, and
if it is seeded down with clover and timothy about the
second crop, good crops of hay may be cut for several
years, but the grass runs out and is replaced by the
oxeye daisy or other weeds, and it is impossible to
plough, so the land becomes practically worthless.

T should not perhaps have made any remark on the
Opposition member's break if I had not seen it stated
in The Globe that the season for forest fires was from
May till October. This is true enough, but in case ot
an early spring with little or no rain the last two weeks
of April is probably the most dangerous season of the
year for forest fires. The sun is very hot and the
winds are high, and there is no green growth, either of
leaves or grasses or herbs of any kind. The dry leaves
lie thick on the ground, and every rotten log or branch

aK Saihon

s SN \\

is ready to break into a flame the moment a spark
touches it. ie

I have frequently heard of cases where fire was
carried more than a mile across lakes and green
swamps during the month of April, and by far the
most destructive fire we ever had in this district
was in April of last year. Speaking from the experi-
ence of a third of a century in the back country I may
say that the policy of appointing fire rangers is a good
one, but they should in most years begin their work
about the middle ot April. In some years they might
be called in in the early part of October, but in dry falls
the danger after the leaves have fallen is almost as
great as at any time in the year.

TRADE! NOTES.

Emerson Smith & Company, Beaver Falls, Pa., are
sending out copies of the 1904 edition of their saw
hand book and price list. A copy of this book will be
mailed to any of our readers who may write for same,
mentioning the CANADA LUMBERMAN.

The A. J. Burton Saw Company, which has recently
been organized at Vancouver, B. C., witha capital of
$75,000, have purchased the site for their works and
commenced building operations. They expect to be in
a position to execute orders about midsummer,

The attention of our readers is directed to the ad-
vertisement of the Garlock Packing Company, of
Hamilton, Ont., appearing on page opposite first
reading page of this issue. This company do a large
trade in the line of mill supplies,such as belting, packing,

etc., and will be pleased to send particulars of their

goods to any reader who may write for same mentioning
their advertisement in the LUMBERMAN.

The Dodge Manufacturing Company, of Toronto,
Limited, who in January last opened up a branch
office and distributing ware rooms at 419 St. James
Street, Montreal, report very gratifying results from
that quarter. The Montreal office is in charge of Mr.
Frank F. Young, formerly of the sales department at
head office. Mr. Young says a large percentage of
the mills and factories seem to prefer taking their re-
quirements from the maker when it is made convenient
for them to do so, and as Montreal is the recognized
distributing centre for the eastern part of the province,
he finds a ready welcome from all quarters for Dodge
products.

Mr. G. H. Mosher, patent attorney, of Truro, N. S.,
has just taken out a patent on behalf of Mr.M.L, Killam,

of the same place, for an auxiliary saw guide. He has
also applied for a patent for self-adjusting sett collars
to be placed on saw arbors, by the use of which saw-
mill owners will be enabled to operate much thinner
saws than have heretofore been used in circular saw
mills. The Grand River Pulp & Lumber Company, of
which Mr. John A. Gillis is manager, are erecting a
large mill in Labrador in which they are installing all

of Killam’s latest improvements, including tandem cir-
cular saw-mill, auxiliary saw guide and self-adjusting
sett collars.

The dissolution is announced of R. Jellyman & Com-
pany, box manufacturers, Montreal.

‘‘The Best in the Land”’

Comes Only to the man who gets the “best in the land” to
help him. Whether its men—whether its material—or whether
its machinery. Its a hard road to the millionaire’s bill of fare to
try to get shingle profits with an old style, out-of-date machine.
There’s only one sure way. That is to use

The Golumbia Shingle Machine

Absolutely the fastest cutting, easiest operated, safest and strong-
est machine for producing shingles now on the market. The only
machine with point regulation—the only one with standard butt
and standard point—the only one on which you can make 1,000
additional shingles from every 1,000 feet of logs. Write for cata-
logue and testimony of what others think of this unrivaled shingle
machine.

A Mumford Standard internally fired boiler
requires from 10 to 25 per cent. less fuel than
a return tubular boiler.

A saving of only 1o per cent. will cover
the cost of the boiler in five or six years.

A Mumford boiler will therefore pay for
itself several times during its lifetime.

SAW MILL MACHINERY

We show herewith Our No.1 Iron Frame Gang, a machine which is probably
giving better satisfaction than any other gang on the market.

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN i juss, toatl

It is very extensively used
—the largest mills in Canada
have it, from the Atlantic to
the Pacific Coast.

It has one of the most im-
proved styles of oscillating
motion in use.

The press rolls are operat-
ed by power, and it possesses
all the good features of the
best American gangs, with
heavier frame work, and
heavier shaft, with the result
that it works rapidly, steadily
and correctly.

For uneven cants we can
furnish a Divided Binding
Roll.

One of these machines with
54 inch sash _ has a capacity
of 100,000 feet of one-inch
lumber per day of eleven
hours.

We would like to have an
inquiry from you as to its

|
many merits.

ve" Simond’s Process

under the __—<-"|
in the Dominion of Canada.

There is no process its equal for tempering circular saws. Other makers recognize this fact, as some ot
them, in order to sell their goods, claim to have the same process. All such Claims are FALSE, as the
patentee in the U. S. and ourselves are the only firms in the world who use it.

INSERTED TOOTH SAWS

Notice the improved shank. We call particular
attention to the swell which strengthens it at the weakest

part and which gives it more wear than the old style.

Zl

Shanks made in usual gauges and to fit your saws

perfectly.

_ The quality of the “ Simonds” Shingle Saws is
‘proven by the fact that the largest shingle and machine
manufacturers in Canada are using them.

The Gordon Hollow Blast Grate

What does the Gordon Hollow Blast Grate do ?
The Gordor Hollow Blast Grate promotes combustion by fanning the boiler
fire, in the same manner as the blacksmith’s bellows.
How much does the Gordon Hollow Blast Grate add to the
efficiency of a boiler ?
From 20 to 50%.
Will the Gordon Hollow Blast Grate burn sawdust satisfactorily ?
Yes, it gives as yood results with wet, green or frozen sawdust as a draft
grate gives with dry wood.

Is the Gordon Hollow Blast Grate only an experiment, or is it a demon-
strated success ?
It is very far indeed from being an experiment. It has been on the market
for over fifteen years, and there are more than 2500 sets in daily use.

What guaranty has the purchaser that the grate will do what is clairmed for it ?
The Gordon Hollow Blast Grate is sold on approval, 30 days being given in
which to thoroughly test it. If aici it may be returned at the
manufacturer's expense.

What information must be given to secure a quotation ? ?

Give number of boilers, width of furnaces or ovens and length of grates.

Where is this grate manufactured ?

It is manufactnred by

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.

ONTARIO.

Under the influence of a moderate de-
mand,the lumber market maintains a steady
tone. Prospects for the future have been
improved by the better outlook for the
crops. The bulletin issued by the Ontario
Department of Agriculture calls attention
to the damage to fall wheat by winter kill-
ing, but since the beginning of May the
weather has been favorable for the re-
cuperation of the crop and the latest re-
ports indicate that many of the fields are
making an encouraging recovery. Alarge
yield of grain will likely bring about a
heavy demand for lumber in the fail. Pres-
ent shipments to the United States are not
all that might be desired, but dealers re-
port a very satisfactory local trade, with
no signs of an early falling off. There may
be a readjustment of prices after midsum-
mer on account of the usual inactivity pre-
ceding the Presidential election across the
border, but the general average is not likely
to be reduced materially. Hardwoods are

The St. John river has fallen fully five feet

x Estimates of the quantity of logs which

a may be hung up range from 30,000,000
feet to 60,000,000 feet. While there is so
much uncertainty as to the log drives,

_ there is little possibility of lumber prices

UNITED STATES.

4 The developments in the United States
lumber market during the past week call
for no lengthy comment. The country
_ demand continues very slow. In some dis-
tricts there is a disposition to crowd stock
on buyers, with the result that prices have
an easier appearance. Dealers are not
1 buying in large lots, believing that this is
the safest course to pursue until genera]
business conditions improve. Under the
' influence of warm weather the crops are
looking better. Corn planting has been
completed and the growth is beginning to
make headway. The demand for low
grade pine lumber is quite up to the mark,
but other grades are dull. Hardwoods
are moving in moderate volume, maple,
basswood and elm furnishing the most
activity. The latter is scarce in the Tona-
wanda, Buffalo, and other eastern markets,
and prices on this lumber are likely to
remain very firm throughout the summer.
Thick maple sells well.
The demand for shingles is only moder-
ate. Red cedars have declined fifteen
cents within the past three weeks. White
pine shingles are scarce on account of the
Jake tie-up, which has kept prices firm.
Lath is picking up as the amount of build-
ing increases.
GREAT BRITIAN.

Contracting for the future is still being
conducted by British lumber merchants
upon most limited lines. While there has
been some improvement in the demand,
there still exists a feeling that existing
conditions will prevent more than a very
moderate rise in prices from the present
basis. Without wishing to inspire false
hopes, however, it may be said that prices
are not likely to gomuchlower. The con-
sumption is making considerable inroads
‘upon yard stocks, and as the quantity con-
tracted for is exceptionally small, it is
quite possible that when the dealers enter
the market to replenish their stocks it will
bring about an advance in prices. Repre-

BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)
May
lief in the way of duty,

VANCOUVER, 23rd, 1904.-—Until
there is some re
prices will not amgunt to much in connect-
ion with the trade with the Territories.
So much lumber is being dumped into that
market that it is completely demoralized,
and as the Americans are selling for what
it will bring in most cases, prices cannot
be maintained by the British Columbia
lumbermen. The American wants cash,
and he considers it a snap to be able to
dispose of the large surplus of rough lum-
ber in some market other than his own.
What he loses on that he makes up on the
finer grades, for which there a ready de-
mand and good prices in his own country.

Then, too, the difference is made up in the

middle western states, where a sufficient
increase is put on rough lumber to offset
the loss of disposing at a sacrifice in the
Canadian Territories.. What trade comes
to this province is only in competition with
the ruinous prices inaugurated by the man-
ufacturers in Washington state. Thisis one
of the reasons that the Hastings mill, the
largest establishment of the B. C. Mills,
Timber & Trading Company, has shut
down, and more will follow very soon.

All the Boards of Trade on the Coast,as-
sisted by many in the interior, have taken
the matter up, and memorials which have
been addressed to the government at Ot-
tawa since 1896 have been supplemented,
and a representative deputation will wait
on the Government this week to ask for an
equalization of the tariffs. Free trade
they prefer, but at least an equalization.
This deputation is composed of Mr. John,
Hendry, president of the B. C. Mills, Tim-
ber & Trading Company, of Vancouver ;
Mr. A. C. Flumerfelt, of Victoria, and Mr.
Harry Watson, a promiaent member of the
Vancouver Board of Trade. They will be
presented and assisted by the British Col-

ambia members, all of whom favor the
lumbermen's requests.

Mr. George McCormick, of Orillia, On-
tario, one of the stockholders of the Paci-
fic Coast Lumber Company of this city,
and one of the principals in the Kamloops
Lumber Company, which has recently
been re-organized, was in the city last
week, The reputed cause of his flying
visit to the coast was to tender the pay-
ment of dues on timber on land which
was to be auctioned by the Government.
He had held it for a number of years,
knowing that the Vancouver, Westmin-
ster & Yukon railway was to go through,
and would afford him transportation facili-
lies to get the timber out, and now when
the time has arrived, and the railway
under course of construction, his dues are
refused, and the land with the timber on
it will go.

New freight schedules on lumber and
shingles have been issued by the C.P.R.
to the manufacturers in the Kootenay,
who are organized into the Mountain
Lumber Manufacturers’ Association. A
reduction of 2 cents per 100 pounds has

_very satisfactory results.”

ae 1, 1904

been granted. As green lumber weight
about 3,000 pounds to the 1,000 feet, the
reduction amounts to 60 cents per 1,000
feet on green lumber, and less on kiln
dried lumber. In return for the concession, _ :
the lumbermen have agreed to sell their —
product for $1 per thousand less to the
settlers. The reduction is 40 cents to the
lumbermen per thousand.

VERY SATISFACTORY RESULTS.

BUSINESS NOTES.

The lumber trade learned with regret of
the financial embarrassment of Robert A.
Estey, who conducted large operations on
the Tobique and Rockaway rivers, with
mills at Fredericton, N.B. The failure is
attributed to Mr. Estey’s impaired health
and to the depression in the lumber trade.

CANADA LWMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION

At a meeting of creditors held at St. John
on May 27th, a statement of his affairs
showed liabilities of $135,000 and assets of

The Peoples Bank of New Brunswick, and
the Provincial Government, the latter hav-

which the operations in the Kootenay district
have been largely responsible. Of the many
new mills.erected in that section of country,
the establishment of The Crow’s Nest Pass
Lumber Company at Wardner represents one
of the largest and most modern. The saw
mill proper is equipped with a double-cutting
band sawhaving a capacity of 75,000 per
day, and another double-cutting band of
similar size is being installed, which will bring
their output up to 150,000 feet per day of ten
hours. The planing mill is equipped with five
machines and is so situated as to permit of the
economic handling of all materials to cars.
The dry kiln, just completed, has a capacity ot
50,000 feet per day.

The location of the mill is very favorable to

supplying the lumber demand of Manitoba
and the Territories, and they will no doubt
secure a large share of that trade. They have
excellent facilities for shipping, their side-track
being directly alongside the Crow’s Nest
branch of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and
- they can handle from sixteen to twenty cars at
their loading platform at any one time.

Their timber consists of western white pine,
tamarac, and mountain fir, averaging about 60
per cent. pine, 25 per cent. tamarac and 15
percent. fir. The merits of western white
pine as a building material are well-known.
The excellence of tamarac for inside finish is
now admitted, while the Mountain fir of the
district being of a coarse nature, is seldom
used for any other than dimension and mine
timbers. It is very desirable in this connec-
tion on account of its strength and durability.

The Quebec Colonization Commission, in
their recent report, thus refer to the timber
wealth of that Province.

Nobody has any idea of the wealth of th
forests of the Abittibi territory. White pine is
found on the hills and isolated rocky mounds

as far north as the latitude of Lake Abittibi,

and so is red pine. White cedar of fine
growth extends as far as Gull Lake more than
a hundred miles north of the height of land.
White birch and balsam fir are large, indicating
rich soil. But the most abundant and richest

timber consists of black and white spruce. On

the banks of the rivers and the shores of the
lakes there are many white spruce trees from
24 to 30 inches in diameter and Mr. O’Suliivan
saw some over 100 feet high. The red spruce
or tamarac, which was splendjd, has been
almost entirely destroyed by the insect whose
ravages have destruyed it everywhere else.

‘But this insect has disappeared and before

many years there will be plenty more of that
wood. These extensive forests of black and
white spruce border on the rivers where there
are immense water powers, and the whole of
this country is one of the most favorable for
the pulp and paper industry.

‘“‘The white and red pine,” says Dr. Bell,
‘extend from the southward for a short distance
beyond the height-ot-land. Banksian pine is
found, where suitable conditions exist, as far
as Mattagami Lake. Tamarac or larch is
abundant and a fine growth, but unfortunately
most of the trees throughout the whole district
from Grand Lake to James Bay, have been

attacked by the grub of the recently imported
larch saw fly.”

‘White spruce is perhaps the most valuable
tree of the district explored. It grows to a
great size everywhere along the rivers and
lakes, and although as arule it may be large

of six feet, a considerable proportion of the

observed in the southern part of the great
basin, but was plentiful in the northern part.
The timber is almost everywhere of mature
age, or consist of old second growths.”

“In the virgin forest,” writes Mr. O'Sullivan,
‘‘white spruce, balsam fir, red spruce, Banksian
pine, are the principal conifers; deciduous
trees are represented by the various species
of poplar, birch, willow, alder, with here and
there black ash on the banks of rivers and the

Estimating at the low figure of 1,600,000

the 60,000 miles comprised in the Abittibi
territory would contain about one hundred

——

IMPORTANT MEETING AT VANCOUVER.

The conditions under which the lumber in-
dustry of British Columbia is at present con-
ducted are anything but satisfactory, and asa
result the large saw mill of the British Colum-
bia Mills, Timber and Trading Company at
Hastings, a suburb of Vancouver, has been
closed down until such time as there is an im-
provement in conditions governing the market.
The bottom has, tor the time being, fallen out
of the foreign lumber market, and it is not
possible to find a profitable market in the
North-West Territories and Manitoba, largely
owing to the fact that the mills near the bor-
der in the United States are using the Cana-
dian North-West as a slaughter field for their
surplus stock so as to prevent over-production
in their own market. The British Columbia mills
situated near the coast are more seriously
handicapped than are the mountain mills, which
are more favorably located to supply the
North-West.

It is understood that the Pacific Coast Lum-
ber Company and other large concerns have
practically decided to close down at an early
date unless some protection is afforded the in-
dustry by the Dominion Government, this
being the natural result of existing conditions.
The persons who have invested money in the
business consider that the loss will be greater
by operating the mills than by closing down.

At the last monthly meeting of the Vancou-
ver Board of Trade there was a very full dis-
cussion of the present condition of the lumber
industry, and the result was that a resolution
was passed to the effect that an equalization
of the duty between Canada and the United
States is immediately required insofar as the
lumber tariffs are concerned.

Mr. E. H. Heaps, of E. H. Heaps & Com-
pany, stated that up to the present time the
lumbermen had been able to fight their own
battles, but now they feel the need of the aid
of every business man of the community. He
did not wish to say that the lumber trade is
bad or even sick ; there are many seemingly
bright prospects ahead, but the British Col-
umbia lumbermen are threatened by American
competition in the Northwest and in Manitoba.
It has been asked why Canadian mills cannot
compete with the American mills. The Cana-,
dians are discriminated against in many ways.
The City Council had raised the water rates
because the mills employed Chinese ; the in-
surance companies had raised their rates, and
the Provincial Government assessment had
seriously affected the industry. The only
manner of relief is to put a duty on lumber
entering Canada. Mr. Heaps had reason to
believe that between 9,000,000 and 10,000,000
feet of lumber per month was entering the
North-West and Manitoba from the American
side. If that trade were preserved to the mills
of Vancouver it would keep all the mills run-
ning night and day.

The Lumber Situation

in British Columbia

a |

The speaker said he had reason to believe
that a duty on lumber could be secured if the
matter were pushed. The British Columbia
Lumber & Shingle Manufacturers’ Association
is doing all it can to bring about that end. The
Americans have a larger market and cheap-
er supplies than Canadians, whose only large
market is in the North-West and Manitoba.
There are now many immigrants coming into
the North-West, and the prospects for a large
trade this year are good. The trade this year
will be as large as last, but the great point is
to hold it.
that there is not sufficient lumber turned out

The people of Manitoba cannot say

in Canada to satisfy the demand, nor can they
say that there is not enough competition in the
country to keep prices down to a reasonable
figure. A larger market is required by the
British Columbia lumbermen, and it it cannot

be secured the lumber industry will be checked.

PROTECTION NEEDED.

Mr. J. G. Scott, manager of the Pacific
Coast Lumber Company, said that he was
glad to see the Board of Trade taking an in-
terest in the luinber industry, and the condi-
tions surrounding it. The Government pre-
ceding the present one had placed lumber and
shingles on the free list as a reciprocal action
when the Americans had taken the same action
in connection with Canadian lumber and sbin-
gles. Later the Dingley tariff had come into
force in the United States and imposed a duty
of thirty cents on shingles and $2 on lumber,
but Canada had taken no action against Amer-
ican lumber interests, despite the representa-
tions of Canadian lumbermen that a protective
tariff should be established in retaliation.
American competition has bothered Canadian
lumbermen more this season than ever before.
There has been an overproduction across the
line, and foreign markets are slack. The
Americans therefore use the North-West and
Manitoba as a dumping ground for their poor-
er material, while they preserve their own
country as a market for their best. It is true
that Canadian Jumbermen are invading Amer-
ican markets, but they are doing so in the face
of the tariff.

FAIR PLAY ASKED.

Mr. C. M. Beecher, vice-president of ihe
British Columbia Mills, Timber & Trading Com-
pany, said that all the lumbermen wished was
fair play. He did not wish to mix politics with
the discussion, but it was a fact that the lum-
ber industry in Canada had suffered from the
actions of the Conservative party. When the
American free trade movement had come into
effect the Ottawa Government had promptly
met it and had reciprocated, and that was fair
play, but in 1896 representations had been made
to Ottawa that on the American side the Ding-
ley tariff was to go into effect, and the Govern-
ment had been asked to advise Washington
that if the said tariff was placed against Cana-

dian lumber and shingles this country would be
forced to retaliate, but no action was taken.
Had their been, the American duty would never
have been put on. The lumbermen in this
country have repeatedly asked Ottawa to equal-
ize tariff conditions, placing against the entry
of American lumber such duty as the United
States places against the entry of Canadian
lumber into that country. This is all the
lumbermen desire, and that is fair play.

Mr. Beecher said that few people realized the
value of the lumbering industry to this prov-
ince, but they would if they stopped td consider
what it meant with its ramifications. If it is
killed the people will be paralyzed at the effect
upon the general prosperity of the community.
Mr. Beecher said that he was not drawing
upon his imagination in the relation of what the
present condition of affairs is, buthe was placing
facts before the meeting and prophesying just
what would happen in spite of all the lumbermen
could do unless some measure of relief was
afforded the industry. He said that the lum-
bermen in Canada face competition in the East
from darkies and ticket-of-leave men, who
work at very low wages, and in Manitoba they
are face to face with the strong competition of
the manufacturers of Wisconsin and Michigan,
where lumber is manufactured much cheaper
than it can be on this coast. The worst com-.

" petition of all, however, is right here at home

from the lumber mills in the State of Washing-
ton. The lumbermen in that-state can operate
their camps much cheaper than the lumbermen
on this side can operate theirs, as supplies and —

_ everything else for mill equipment is cheaper

by 25 to 30 per cent. than in this province.
The Puget Sound mills have théir own immense
market of 80,000,000 people, and have Alaska,
Hawaii, and now the Phillippines. From 1894
to 1896 the Canadian lumbermen had a chance
to do business in the United States, but as the
American patronized home industry Canadian
competition was unable to secure a footing
there. The Puget Sound mills have the advant-
age in the cost of supplies and in their enor-
mous home market, and they have the best of
the foreign trade in Australia, China and Japan.
It is utterly unreasonable that the Americans,
having these enormous advantages over Cana-
dians, should be allowed to ship into the only
market the British Columbia mills have, a some-
what restricted area in the Northwest.

Mr. Beecher said the one matter of surprise
to him was that the Canadian mills had been
kept running, and he could only think that it
was because the millmen here were a little smat-
ter than theAmericans. Hesaid thatthe millmen
had not come to this meeting as mendicants ;
all they wanted was fair play. He said he did
not wish to close the Hastings mill if it could
be helped, but certainly it would not be run at
a loss.

SUPPLIES COST MORE.

Mr. J. W. Hackett, of the firm of Robertson
& Hackett, sawmill operators on False Creek,
vouched for the accuracy of all the remarks of
the previous speakers. He said that the lum-
bermen in this country had come to be looked
upon asa set of thieves. Everywhere he went —
he was asked when the price ot lumber was to
be reduced. Public opinion had formed the

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN

. ession that the price of lumber was higher
‘than it should be. Mr. Hackett said that saws
‘fit to cut British Columbia timber were not
manufactured in Canada. They had to Le im-
ported from the United States, where they
cost from $150 to $160, and added to that was
a duty of thirty per cent., which had to be paid
for the entrance of the goods into Canada.
Belts were in the same category. He said
that with the cost of supplies so much higher
here than on the other side there was no room
for unfair competition. He said that the
ance rates charged mills were exorbitant.
The general rate was 9% percent. and the
rate of 13% per cent. on the mills proper was
“so high that the insurance companies were
ashamed to publish it.

in-

APPEAL TO THE GOVERNMENT.

Mr. W.G. Harvey then moved that the
board endorse a petition that the millmen had
forwarded to the Government. Mr. R.P. Mc-
Lennan seconded the motion, and said that the
request of the lumbermen was a modest and
‘reasonable one, and unless something were
done the province would find itself in a state
of commercial depression shortly. The resolu-
tion was carried unanimously, as follows:
_ That the Vancouver Board of Trade real-
izes that the general commercial
British Columbia require that an equalization
in the duty on lumber be eslablished immedi-
ately between the tariffs of Canada and the
United States, otherwise serious commercial
depression will prevail throughout this pro-
vince.”
_ The Boards of Trade of all the leading
towns and cities in British Columbia have en-
dorsed the resolution in favor of a duty on
lumber, and have agreed to the suggestion
that a delegation be sent to Ottawa to impress
the matter upon the Government. Money has
been willingly subscribed to pay the expenses
of the delegates.

VIEWS OF PROMINENT B, C. LUMBERMEN.
_ Mr. R. H. Alexander, Secretary British Col-
umbia Mills, Timber and Trading Company :
_“ The foreign export trade here isin almost a
state of collapse owing to the mad competition
which has arisen through the multiplicity of
‘mills and the consequent overstocking of the
market, resulting in prices being brought
_ down to away below the cost of production.
There is no doubt that when a good deal of
the old stocks which have accumulated dur-
‘ing the past three years of excessive produc-
ei tion are cleared off and the mill men have to
_ face manufacturing at a loss, that prices will
come up, as logs are as high to-day as when
lumber was 50 per cent. higher. The condi-
‘tion of the domestic trade is in just as bada
shape as that of the foreign. To arrive ata
just conclusion as to the causes of this deplor-
able state of affairs, one must not lose sight
of the fact that trade here is really ruled by
what is going on in the United States. For
past three years the.e has been a big de-
nd for luinber all along' the coast, especially
California and as far east as St. Paul and
Missouri River. This led to a big increase
n the producing capacity, saw mills being

13

started by the dozen. Since then the demand
in California and the east has fallen off, so that
the mills are striving as well as they know how
to dispose of their stocks, and as a result
prices have been reduced to a very ruinous
figure. When the California trade falls the
great difficulty is to market the common grades
of lumber which are usually manufactured in
the proportion of 5 to 1. Enormous surplus
stocks of these lower grades have accumulated
in the hands of the mill owners across the
line, resulting their being completely
jammed up. They have been agitating during
the past two months for a goc. rate to Omaha
and the Missouri Valley, hoping to secure some
amelioration of the present condition by an out-
let into that market. However, nothing has
resulted from that source as yet and in the
meantime they must sell, the whole question
reducing itself to one of securing hard cash
for their fast accumulating stocks irrespective-
of prices and cost.

‘“*‘We, unfortunately, are in much the same
position, manufacturing in the same propor-
tion, but with the disadvantage of possessing
no home market except British Columbia,
which is practically nothing. The natural mar.
ket lor us is the North-West, and there we are
being undersuld by the Americans making it
the dumping ground for their surplus stocks.
Whichever way one views the situation the
advantage is with the Americans.

the tariff we could get things from Puget
Sound cheaper than from Manitoba and the
Territories, and yet although afforded no pro-
tection whatever we are taxed to support the
Manitoba farmer. All conditions make it
dearer to manufacture here than on the Sound.
Last November trade practically stopped in the
North-West. Since then both the government
agent and the C.P.R. have been urging the
mill owners here to be ready to supply the de-
mand which was sure to arise with the inrush of
immigrants in the coming spring. Acting upon
this advice they have accumulated tremendous
stocks, but unfortunately, owing to the bad
season nothing was done until two weeks ago,
when symptous began tu arise of better trade.
Now when they have all prepared they find
themselves shut out by American competition,
with the result that unless they are prepared
to sell at a sacrifice no lumber will be shipped
at all. It means destruction to the industry,
as it is impossible to sell clear grades and pile
The
only remedy is for the government to put a
duty on American lumber and provide us the
market we lack. That the institution of a
tariff on the importation of the cheap grades
of American lumber would hurt the settler is
the merest clap trap, as he pays the usual
price of lumber whether it be cheap or not, the
retailer seeing to this and under no circum-
stances allowing any téduction whatever un-
less it be for trade. Furthermore, the average
settler’s house and barn never requires more
than 16,000 feet of lumber and a duty ot $1.00
per 1,000 would be merely an atom of a cost

by the reduction of the purchasing powers of
his best customers. There is no industry that
disburses so much among the general public
in the shape of wages, steamboat charges, etc.,
as the lumber trade, it being estimated at $9
to the public for every $1 gained by the man-
ufacturer. Were a mill with an annual out-
put of say $500,000 to close down the general
public would lose $450,000 to the $50,000 lost
by the owners. The loss to the community
collectively is, far more serious than can pos-
sibly be estimated. Let the government either
grant protection or at least place us in a posi-
tion of equality with the Americans.”

Mr. J. D. McNair, of the Hastings Shingle
Mill Company :

‘* The company, in view of the present mar-
ket conditions, are curtailing their output. We
now average 400,000 shingles a day, while our
We have felt the
depression approaching ever since the Amer-
icans began to compete for Canadian trade
owing to the depression in their home market
more than a year ago. As the condition of
the United States market has not improved
but on the contrary grown werse, this com-
petition has become keener, until to-day prices
are so low and the state of the market so bad
that the mill owner who would think of in-
creasing his capacity or of building new mills
would certainly be considered insanely mad by
the associated lumbermen of the province.”
Proceeding, Mr. McNair went on to say that
immediately after the burning of their lumber
mill last October he, in company with Mr.
Flumerfelt and associates, considered the ad-
visability of rebuilding and were unanimously
agreed upon constructing a mill with double
or treble the capacity of the one burnt, which
when running manufactured on an average

capacity is Over 1,000,000.

50,000 feet of lumber and 200,000 shingles per
day, provided the Laurier Government could
be induced to grant some adequate protection
from the ruinous competition which he, Mr.
McNair, saw approaching as a result of the
fast growing depression in the United States
markets. In a letter read by Mr. McNair to
the the humiliating spectacle was
brought to view of the British Columbia Lum-
ber and Shingle Association appealing to the
United States Consul in Vancouver, Col. Dud-
ley, for a correct interpretation to his govern-
ment of the recently enacted logging act. Such
an occurrence, says Mr. McNair, is proof it-
self that the British Columbia lumbermen were
growing tired of the apathy of the government
at Ottawa, and were reauy to appeal
to the lumbermen of the Pacific Coast states
for assistance. Loyalist as he was, he was
convinced that unless something was done by
the Dominion House to ameliorate the present
conditions the day was not far distant when
the Canadian people would receive a rude
awakening in the demand from British Colum-
bia for separation.

RAILROADS AND FOREST FIRES.

The subject of forest fires was carefully con-
sidered at the recent meeting of the Canadian
Forestry Association, and the outcome was the
adoption of the following resolution :

‘*Resolved, that in view of the proposed construction
of a new transcontinental railway and the projection of
other lines passing largely through coniferous forests,
the attention of the Governments of the Dominion and
the Provinces, aud also of the Railway Companies, be
called to the serious danger .of loss of valuable timber
consequent upon the construction and operation of such
lines if all possible precautions to prevent the starting
of fires are not taken, and urge that the question be
given full and careful cousideration, that to the end
sought the party or parties contracting to build the
different sections of the said read be required to enter
into an agreement for an efficient equipment and control
to prevent fires, that at such seasons as may be neces-

‘sary an effective patrol be established along all the
afforested line of railway, and that the officers both of
the governments and the railways be required to use all
possible diligence to prevent the starting or spread of
fire through defective equipment or through the care-
lessness of the operations or negligence of the employees
under their control”.

The destruction which may be done to the
forests of Canada while the construction of the
proposed transcontinental railway is in progress
is very great, and the above resolution is par-
ticulafly timely. The benefit which the
country will derive from the building and oper-
ation of the road will be largely offset if every
precaution is not taken to prevent the spread

of fire through the heavily timbered country
through which it will pass for a considerable
distance. That the railways are responsible
for many forest fires will scarcely be disputed.
Of twenty-eight fires which occurred last year
in Wright County, Minnesota State, from
known causes,eight were due to railroad loco-
motives. In France the railroad companies are
held responsible for damage by fire caused by
flying sparks from their locomotives, and con-
sequently they take particular care and in ex-
posed places cut the grass and brush adjacent
to their road beds.

Remembering the great territory comprising
this Dominion, 3,745,000 square miles, it is
apparent how difficult it is to prevent forest fires
solely by the employment of rangers if the
public are ignorant of their responsibility or
neglectful of their duty. It is surprising that
so many persons will set out a fire in or near a
forest and take no pains to see that it is extin-
guished. The posting of warning notices, the
diffusion of information regarding the value of
the forests and the necessity of their protection,
and, finally, the prompt prosecution of those
who violate the law, should gradually tend to
do away with the evil of forest fires in this
country. ¥

THE QUESTION OF A LUMBER DUTY.

The lumber manufacturers of Canada, and
of British Columbia in particular, have at last
got the ear of the Dominion Government, and
it appears that a crisis in the question of an
import duty on lumber is near at hand. The
subject was brought up in the House by Mr.
Morrison, member for New Westminster, B.C.
He reviewed the conditions surrounding. the
lumber industry of British Columbia and pro-
nounced himself strongly in favor of an import
duty equivalent to that which is imposed on
Canadian lumber exported to the United
States. He was supported by the Conservative
members as a whole and very earnestly by Mr.
Macpherson, the Liberal member for Burrard,
B.C. Mr. Macpherson pointed out that during
March last no less than 390 cars of lumber had
gone into Winnipeg from the United States.
They averaged from 8,000 to 10,000 feet per
car, which at $16.50 per thousand were worth
$64,300. He was something of a free trader,
Lut he was also something of a protectionist,
and he believed in applying the knife whenever
it was necessary. The people ot the United
States should be obliged to do exactly by
Canada as Canadians did by them, and one
Province should not be sacrificed to the interest
of the other.

The suggestion of a duty on lumber was
strongly opposed by the representatives from
Manitoba and the Territories, whose argu-
ments against granting a duty were based on
the necessity tor giving the farmers of the
North-West cheap lumber. This is the sole
argument that can be advanced to justify the
indifference of the Dominion Government in
protecting the Canadian lumber industry to the
extent that other industries are protected, and
it is very doubtful if this argument has not
outlived its usefulness. Has the time not
arrived when the Canadian North-West should
bear its share in building up the industries of

this country ? Everything the farmers in q

tion produce or manufacture is protected by
‘|lbeavy duties from American competition
| There is no reason to anticipate, however, that
[the people of the North-West would be com-—
'pelled to pay more than a reasonable price for

their lumber if United States competition were

eliminated. The imposition of the duty would

encourage the building of more mills, and the -
present capacity of mills in a position to cater
jto the North-West market is sufficient to more
ee supply the demand. There is no good
lreason, therefore, why some protection should
{not be afforded the lumber interests. é

oa

In the framing of tariffs consideration is
given to the consumer, the free importation ot
goods being permitted when it is apparent
that the home protection is not equal to the
demand. Then why has the lumberman been
selected to carry the burden of United States
competition in his own legitimate market,when —
other industries are protected? The British
Columbia millman contends that he is obliged |
to import a large proportion of his mill and —
logging equipment—saws, axes, belting, etc. —
All these are dutiable, yet he has not been
forced to pay exorbitant prices on account of —
this protection. Much less would the consumer —
of lumber suffer by a duty. P

FIXING OF TIMBER SLIDE DUES.
A judgment recently delivered in the Divi-
sional Court by Chief Justice Street in the —
case of Beck versus Ontario Lumber Com- ~
pany, has caused some discussion in lumber —
circles. It appears that the Ontario Lumber
Company had used certain improvements
owned by the C. Beck Manufacturing Com-
pany on the Post Creek for floating their logs, —
and, in accordance with the law, the latter ;
company made application to the County
Judge to fix the dues to be paid by persons
using these improvements. The Judge, in
fixing the tolls, did not specify whether they
were applicable to logs floated down in the
past as well as in the future, or in the future
only, and the Beck Company claimed that it —
was intended to apply both in the past and in —
the future. The Ontario Lumber Company ~
appealed, and the higher court sustained the
appeal, the judgment reading : ‘‘ I cannot find
any authority for the position that a person —
who has made improvements upon a stream
can obtain from the District or County Judge
an order fixing tolls to be paid upon logs which
have been floated over them previous to the
making of the order. A contrary interpreta- ~
tion would entitle the owner of the improve- —
ments to go back for six years and recover —
tolls fixed in 1900 upon logs floated down in —
1894, for instance.” a

The counsel for the plaintiff pointed out,
with some reason, that as the quantity of logs
which would be floated down a certain stream,
in conjuntion with the cost of the improve-
ments, should torm the basis for fixing the
amount of dues to be paid, it would be diffi--
cult to fix the tolls before knowing the exact —
or at least the approximate quantity. Against —
this argument it was claimed that it is always —
possible to ascertain in advance, within a

reasonable limit, the quantity of logs which
are likely to come out of a certain stream,
| the operators usually being known by the
party or parties owning the improvements.
Another point to which consideration was
doubtless given is that a person should
now what he is expected to pay for certain
| privileges before the liability is incurred, ip
| this case before the improvements are used.
It might be that, with advanced knowledge of
what the dues are to be for the use of the im-
|__ provements, he would find it more economical
to have the logs floated on another stream.
The Beck Manufacturing Company, Limited,
| owning the improvements, and not having in-
_corporated an improvement company for that
| purpose, are limited to the power which is
vested in the County Judge, to whom the On-
bj tario Act does not give authority to fix tolls
_ for logs which have already passed over the
_ improvements. If, however, the conditions
"are such as to make it advantageous to have
the tolls fixed after the logs have been floated,
a means has been provided by the incorpora-
tion of a company as owner of the improve-
ments. The improvement company can then
fix its schedule of charges, even after the work
has been performed. If the charges are not
acceptable to the persons having nade use of
the improvements, they may be submitted to
the -Commissioner of Crown Lands, who will
take evidence and has full power to make such
changes as he considers are justified by the
‘circumstances. This is the law as we under-
stand it.

EDITORIAL NOTES.
Just as the single band saw succeeded the
circular saw in many mills, so the double cut-
ting band is taking the place of the single
‘hand in the larger mills. In British Columbia
it has been installed in nearly all the new
mills. Experience has demonstrated to the
satisfaction of many lumber manufacturers
that the double cutting band is capable of
turning out lumber equal in every respect to
that produced by its single competitor, while
its capacity is very much greater.

The culling and measuring of lumber in the
Province of Quebec was fixed by statute in
1886, and we are not aware that any changes
have since been made. Tne Act as it stands
‘is absolete. The market requirements have
made it necessary to adopt a more defined
classification, consequently some of the grades
of timber and lumber now manufactured are
not covered by the Act. Would it not be in
order fur the Government to appoint a com-
mittee to revise and enlarge the rules with a
view to bringing them up-to-date ?

The Douglas fir of British Columbia is find-
ing increased favor in Eastern Canada, but it
should be used to a still greater extent.
Large quantities of Georgia pine and cypress
and other southern woods are being used in
construction work, the lower freight rates and
free entry into Canada giving the southern
; “product an advantage over British Columbia
timber. Where quality is considered, how-

ever, the latter should be given the preference,
as it is Stronger and more durable and will
withstand the effects of water admirably.
Canadians should use more of the B.C. timber.

Doubtless many purchasers of Scribner’s
Lumber and Log Book have expected to find
therein Scribner’s rule for the measurement of
logs. Instead the Doyle rule is given. It
appears that some years ago J. M. Scribner.
published a small book which he called Scrib-
ner’s Lumber and Log Book and which con-
tained Scribner’s rule. Later on Edward
Doyle prepared a log table which he claimed
was more nearly correct than Scribner’s.
George W. Fisher became the owner of the
Scribner book and copyrighted it. After com-
paring the two log tables and taking advice of
experienced ‘saw mill men, he adopted the
Doyle rule as being the more nearly correct.
Hence we find the Doyle rule in the Scribner
book. Scribner’s log rules have been out of
print for perhaps thirty years. George W.
Fisher’s copyright expires on the Doyle rule
in 1910.

ELEVATED LOGGING TRAMWAY.
All persons engaged in lumbering operations
will be interested in the following description

are in the form of the bicycle, with single
grooved wheels at each end of the frame. Two
iron rods, one at each end of the carrier, bent
in the form of a hook, are attached to the car-
rier near the wheel, and pass downward out-
side and underneath the stringer, free from con-
tact with any part of the sructures. On the
ends of the blocks are two small wheels, which
run on a guide rail, attached to the framework,
and keep the carrier in an upright position and
the load from oscillating laterally. The logs
for transport are suspended to these hooks by
chains.

The trains are drawn by a steam engine
running on the rails, with a boiler car suspend-
ed underneath the line which acts asa counter-
poise to the engine. By this system of tram-
way it will be seen that grading, ‘removal of
stumps, fallen logs, rocks, and other impedi-
ments are avoided. =

A company has been formed in Vancouver to
construct tramways, elevated or surface, for
mining, logging, passenger, freight, etc., under
the management of Mr. J. P. MacLean, min-
ing, hydraulic and civil engineer.

NO. 3 CUTS.
We have been asked to state what consti-
tutes the grade of No. 3 cuts in white pine.

ELEVATED LOGGING TRAMWAY INVENTED BY ALFRED R. HOWSE, VANCOUVER, B. C.

and accompanying illustration of an elevated
mono rail logging tramway, invented by Mr.
A. R. House, 556 Powell street, Vancouver,
and the property of the Vulcan Company, of
that city. The tramway is constructed of rough
logs about 15 inches in diameter. A single
track requires four logs, and a double track
seven logs for the construction of the trestle
work, and a single line of stringers to carry the
rails. The stringers are placed continuously
{rom trestle to trestle along the entire length
of the tramway. The trestles are framed in a
manner to receive the heavy strains on the ends
of the timber. They are set up 25 feet apart
with intermediate posts midway between them
to support the centre of the stringers and pre-
vent any sag. The caps of the trestles are pro-
jected three feet beyond the framework,
strengthened by a raking log underneath rest-
ing on the ground. The stringers carrying the
rails are placed at the extreme ends of the caps,
scarfed and bolted thereto. On these timbers
the railsare laid. Carriers running on the rails

Although there are no printed rules that we can
find covering this grade for Ontario, we would
say that No. 3 cuts are supposed.to cut about
33% per cent. clear cutting, free from shake,
knots, or any other defects. The balance of
the piece may be knotty or faulty in other
respects. Bright sap would not be considered
a defect. The cutting should be either fit for

panels, rails or stile. Panels should be 8

_inches wide, 3 feet long; for rails, 6 inches

wide, 7 feet long. Inch lumber would have to
give panel cuts, as it would not answer for
rail or stile.

A correspondent of the London Timber
Trades Journal gives the following as the best
speeds for band sawing machines : If saw
pulleys are 30 inches diameter, speed should be
500 revolutions per minute; 36 inch pulleys,
420 turns ; 42 inch pulleys, 325 turns ; 48 inch
pulleys, 300 turns. This list, he says, saves
the trouble of working out the periphery speed,
for the speed of the machine is determined by
the size of the saw pulleys.

NEW SAW MILL AT ST. JOHN.

The destruction by fire last year of the saw
mill of Murray & Gregory at St. John, N.B.,
while considered at the time a great misfortune,
was soon torgotton in the great interest taken

in the rebuilding of the plant, and there has
now been completed a larger and more mod-
ern mill, and one in which the waste of
lumber is reduced to the minimum. The |

Murray & GREGORY's MILL, St. JoHN, N.B.

_ equipment includes resaws and edgers which
did not form a part of the equipment of the
old mill. The edgings are automatically han-
dled, and there is a very convenient system of
removing the sawdust, rubbish, etc. Altogeth-
er the mill is very economically and.conven-
iently arranged,

The capacity of the mill per day of nine
hours is 75,000 feet of long lumber, 25,000 shin-
gles, 6,000 to 8,000 pieces clapboards, 40,000
pieces laths, and 25,000 staves and headings.
The dimensions are 160 x 64-feet.

THE NANAIMO SAW MILL.

The saw mill of Andrew Haslam at Nanaimo,
B. C., was one of the first mills established on
Vancouver Island. The mill was established in
1885 by the Royal City Lumber Company, of
New Westminster, Mr. Haslam being a share-
holder in the company, and manager
of the Nanaimo mill. Operations were
commenced in a very small way, the business
being devoted exclusively to the sawing of
rough lumber up to the year 1887, when Mr.
Haslam, in conjunction with Mr. A. E.
Lees, purchased the property, the part-
nership heralding the expansion of the business
and the manufacture of all kinds of lumber. In
1889 Mr. Haslam secured full control of the
business, and at once began extensive improve-

ments and a large expansion in the amount of
business done. A large sash and door factory
was built and fitted with four up-to-date planers
and stickers. One of the best equipped dry
kilns in the province was also installed.

Prosperous in business and with ‘‘Excelsior”
as his motto, Mr. Haslam determined in 1899
to make further improvements. A new mill
was constructed on the water front of Nanai-
mo Bay, the old mill dismantled and all the
machinery, together with a number of new
machines, and the various accessories of a first
class plant, were installed in the new mill. The
sash and door factory was greatly enlarged,and
a large shingle mill,’ equipped with three
machines, manufactured by Shaake, of New
Westminster, was added to the plant.

Although for years the mill has been engag-
ed in the manufacture of cedar, fir and spruce,
to-day the chief product is cedar, Mr. Haslam
having carefully reserved his splendid timber
limits for that purpose. These limits are the
envy of the various lumber dealers along the
Coast and comprise 13 000 acres of the best
timber on the Continent, a conservative estim-
ate by the owner placing them at 350 million
feet, of which 100 million is cedar. Half of
them are situated on the mainland at Theodo-
sia Arm, Haslam Lake and Jervis Inlet,and the
other half on the Island at Discovery Passage,

all of them being close to shore and easily ac
cessible.

The mill is driven by eight powerful st
engines of 350 horse power, and five poled”
an uncommon feature in the working being
seen in the fact that each machine is driven by
a separate engine. At present the mill em-
ploys about 100 hands, and has a capacity of
60,000 feet of lumber and 60,000 shingles per
day of 10 hours.

Mr. Haslam, besides being in active business —
management of the saw mill, has twice served
as Mayor of Nanaimo, and was elected by ac
clamation to the Dominion House in 1893. He
is one of the most popular citizens of the Island.

Note.—Since the above was written we re-
gret to learn that Mr. Haslam’s mill has bee
completely destroyed by fire, entailing a los s
over $100,000. xa

LABOR SAVERS.
D/M. Rosins in the Wood-Worker.

There are many little devices which may be
employed around the machine room to save
time and handling of material. A device
which I have successfully used is for the band
saw. I know of a porch column factory where
thousands of Colonial colnmns are turned out
in a year, and the caps and base blocks are
sawed by hand, after being marked out with a
compass in the way that was used long years
ago. I herewith show you how to make an
attachment for the band saw which will cut
out circular stuff of this nature, any diameter
which can be handled easily, without previous
marking, and saw it so accurately that with a
compass you cannot detect a \variation from
the true circle.

Take a piece of board the size of the saw
table outside the saw, that is of a width equal

to that from the saw blade out to the edge of :

the table, and of a length equal to the table
from front to back. This is a base. Suppose
you want to saw out circular caps or base
blocks for columns 12 inches diameter and 1%
inches thick. The radius of the cap is 6 inches,
so 6 inches in from the saw,on the base board,
put a wooden %-inch dowel into the base and
let it stick up about an inch. Now cut ano-
ther circular ‘‘ form” of inch stuff and of same
_ diameter as the caps you are to saw out (a
circular form must be made for each size circle
you want to cut), put a hole in the centre of
it, to revolve freely on the dowel pin in the
base board, put a couple of short, sharpened
spurs into the top cf the circular plate to hold
the material in place, clamp the base board to
the table so that the dowel pin comes exactly
opposite the teeth of the saw, cut off the ma-
terial in square pieces on the cut-off saw, put
one on the ‘‘ plate,” tap it with a hammer so
it will not slip from the spurs, then swing it
around to the left against the saw and it will
be cut smoothly and quickly—no marking out
with a compass, no stooping over the ma-
chine to see the lines. It can also be operated

and of exactly the same diameter. A is the

the table. The whole may be removed intact
when not in use.

Another attachment is for making straight
turnings on the lathe, such as bed rolls or any
nature of straight work which is not too long
to remain stiff between the centres without
springing, and ot a large enough diameter to
maintain its rigidity.

Suppose we want to make bed rolls about
3 feet long and 4 inches in diameter, of soft
wood, for veneering. The stock should be
roughed off first by hand, leaving it about %
inch larger than finish size. It is well under-
stood that work of this nature must be abso-
lutely smooch and perfectly straight, in order
that the veneering may set close and have no
humps or wrinkles in it. It is perhaps as par-
ticular a piece of work as ever comes into the
hands of the wood-turner. :

Having roughed off the stock, set the rest
as close to the work as possible, having it per-

fectly level from one end to the other and no
higher than the two lathe centers.

Now, having adjusted the piece correctly in
the lathe and with the rest in correct position,
1 will explain the automatic device for turning
the roll absolutely smooth and straight. The
attachments are easily made, consisting of a
caliper-like frame, which is made of a 54-inch
bolt about 20 inches long, with the crosspiece
riveted on the outer end—see Fig. 2. ;

We must next make a back rest of hardwood,
or rather a back guide, as long as the pieces

we are working, and it must be set exactly as
high as the front chisel rest and exactly par
allel to it. Fig. 3 shows how to make the rest
or guide from the back of the lathe. Aisa
wooden guide a little longer than the roll we
are turning, so it will project over the work at
each end. It is about 2 inches thick by 3
inches wide, and has a groove the whole length
of the top, about %-inch deep and of the same —
width as the iron we riveted on the bent rod i
Fig. 3. B B are wooden pins, turned the right _
size to fit into the lathe sockets CC. -
Now we will give the reader a clearer con-
ception of our appliance by putting our different —
pieces together and placing them on the lathe

ing between the lathe centers, ready for finish-
ing. B is the hardwood track or guide to -*

frame of the lathe. D is the front rest and 4
sockets. E is the smoothing attachment, F
is an ordinary wood-turner’s 2-inch gauge, held
in place by the collar and set-screw. It will
readily be seen that the instrument is intended
to travel lengthwise the work, bearing solidly —
upon the front rest and back guide. The pro-
per adjustment of all the parts must necessarily
make every roll perfectly smooth and straight
and of an equal diameter. Tapered work may just
as readily be turned out by setting either end
of the back guide in such a position as will
give the desired diameter at each end of the
roll. > :

This appliance may be used with equal effi-
ciency on small work or large work, even up
to 8-foot columns, but the weight and strength
of the instruments, guides, etc., must be in
keeping with the work it is designed to accom-
plish.

long, running in self oiling boxes. The lower wheel is
a solid web and very heavy. The upper one is as light
as is consistent with strength.

The feed works are very powerful,there being six feed
rolls, and the feed varies from 12,to 120 feet per
minute, by adjusting the expansion cones, giving any
variation of feed desired, according to the work
required. The right hand rolls are rigid in their boxes
but the left hand set are elasticsoas to grasp uneven
stock and hold it firmly against the rigid roll, thus
making a powerful feed even on very unequally sawed

jumber, All rolls are adjustable to the blade and
wheels in case of wear. With the self-centering attach-
ment both sets of rolls are held rigid and the adjust-
ment for thickness is made by lower screw and hand
crank.

The capacity of the machine is 30 inches vertically
and from % to 20 inches horizontally; slabbing from 12
inches wide; will split a 16 inch timber in the center
and will cut a veneer from 12 inch timber.

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN eed

MEETING OF COOPERAGE STOCK
‘ MANUFACTURERS.

The sixth annual meeting of the National
Slack Cooperage Manufacturers’ Association
was held in Cincinnati, Ohio, May 3 and 4. It
was a representative meeting, the Canadian
members present being A.A. Scott, McGregor,
Ont.; Neil Watson, Mull, Ont.; W.C. West,
Sutherland-Innes Company, Chatham, Ont.;
and R. L. Merritt, Blenheim, Ont.

The presidential address emphasized the ne-
cessity of careful grading of stock. There had

been a tendency to be

This was started during the rush when coop-

according

ers were willing to take anything and every-
thing in order tosecure prompt shipment. He
hoped that all men engaged in the business
would keep to the standard grading rules. The
secretary announced that forty new members
had joined the association during the year, and
he anticipated a still greater increase during the
coming year. The present membership is 160.
The following committee on specifications and
grades was appointed: W.K. Jackson, chair-
man, Tindle & Jackson, Buffalo; J.M. Kelton,
Standard Hoop Company, West Bay City,
Mich.; A.A. Scott, McGregor, Ont.

In considering the question of future demand
and the production of stock for the present
year much information was brought forth. To
sum up, the production will be about the same
as the past year, and there is no reason why
the demand should not continue at least as
good as it is now.

Wire hoops as a factor in the demand _ were
the subject of discussion. It was announced
that 35,000,000 wire hoops were sold Jast year.
The sales were said to be double those of
1902 and the wire hoop men expect 1904 to
show even greater figures. Wire, according
to one member’s estimate,is cheaper than wood

hoops, probably $2.25 per thousand, and there’

is no question about it being used successfully
in the larger shops where they have machinery
to drive them with, but in the smaller shops
wire is proving disappointing, according to the
sentiment expressed. It was shown that, were
it not for the wire, the manufacturers of wooden
hoops would be unable to supply the demand.

The committee on grades presented the fol-
lowing specifications:

STAVES.

Elm staves 30 inches long shall be cut not
less than 5 staves to 1 15-16 inches in thickness,
elm staves 24 to 28 inches long shall be cut not

IMPROVED SANDING MACHINE. __
The cut here represented is of a sanding machine oe
especially designed for makers of wagon, carriage,
furniture and piano material. It was patented March
zoth, 1900, and has embodied in its make-up new points
to insure it doing good work to those having this class

of sanding to do. Limited space enables of only some
of the most important features being considered,

The machine is invaluable where a perfectly smooth
surface is desired, either for varnishing or painting.

substantial, and sAves the work of several machines
for doing this character of work. The three steel
polishing cylinders upon which the paper is placed
have a vibtatory motion to prevent the formation of
lines, and are equipped with a device for quickly
applying the same paper and giving it the proper
tension. Each cylinder carries a different grade of
feed the third_cylinder giving the final and smoother
nish. ‘

The feed is very powerful, and consists of eight feed
rolls, four above and four below, driven by a train of
heavy expansion gearing, and will open to receive
material eight inches thick. The machine is made to
work material from 30 to 80 inches wide, and has a
brush attachment which cleans the stock after it has
passed through the machine. The pressure rolls are
so arranged that the adjustments can be made easily,
quickly and accurately, and the feed started and
stopped instantly.

The makers of this improved sander, J. A. Fay &
Egan Company, Front Street, Cincinnati, Ohio, will be
glad to hear from those interested, to whom they will
submit prices, information and cuts showing it in de-
tail. They will also send free their new illustrated

_ catalogue showing their machinery to those who will
write mentioning this paper.

DO YOU LACK STEAM?

No matter how good the machinery in a mill, it can-
noc turn out the maximum amount of work unless there
is ample power to drive it at all times. When steam
gets low, it affects the output of every machine.in the
entire mill. This being the case, it seems singular that
there are those who will continue to run a mill day after
day, week after week and month after month, with
scarcely a day when they are not obliged to shut down
occasionally to wait for steam to rise. Where this con-
dition prevails, it is claimed that the efficiency of every
machine in the entire mill can be increased by putting
in the Gordon Hollow Blast Grate, thus adding from
20 to so per cent. to the power, without increasing the
number of boilers or making any further change. As
this grate, together with the necessary pipe and blower,
is sold on approval, go days being given in which to
thoroughly test it, and as it may be returned to the
manufacturers at their expense in case it fails to giye
complete satistaction, there is no risk incident to instal-
ling it. .

Those interested would do well to drop a line to the
manufacturers, the Gordon Hollow Blast Grate Com-
pany, Greenville, Michigan, giving the number of boilers,
the width of the furnaces or ovens and the length of the
grates.

Good advertising is the path finder for all who seek
success in business.

Westinghouse-Parsons steam turbines are to be in-
stalled in the new power station of the Union Metallic
Cartridge Company at Bridgeport, Connecticut. The
installation will consist of two turbo generating units,
each of 500 kw. capacity. The two units will operate
in parallel, and will furnish 440 volts, 3-phase current
at 7200 alternations per minute for general power and
lighting purposes in the various shops located within
three or tour blocks of the powerstation. Theturbines
will operate under 150 pounds steam, 28” vacuum, and
possibly superheat.

CRAIG MINE CRYSTAL CORUNDUM WHEELS

Our Pure Crystal Corundum Saw Gummers have
no equal for their rapid, cool, cutting properties.

Read the following from Bulletin 180 of the United States Geological Survey, which says :

“Otten a distinction is made between emery and corundum, many persons not recognizing emery as a variety of
corundum. —

Emery is a mechanical admixture of corundum and magnetite or hematite. It is, of course, the presence
of corundum in the emery that gives to it its abrasive qualities and makes it of commercial value, and the abrasive
efficiency of emeries varies according to the percentage of corundum they contain.”

Emery is imported, mined by Greeks and Turks and contains only avout 25
corundum, Our Crystal Corundum is guaranteed to be 98% pure alumina, a Can-
adian product, mined and manufactured by Canadians for Canadians.

THE MARITIME SULPHITE PULP MILL
PROPERT

The pulp mill properties which originally be-
longed to the Maritime Sulphite Fibre Com-
pany, but which have recently passed into the
hands of the Bank of Montreal, are too valu-
able to be permitted to remain idle, and as by
a recent decree of the Court the Bank is now
in full possession, it is quite probable that ar-
rangements will be made which will result in
the resumption of operations at an early date.
It is understood that the properties are being
offered at a very low figure, particularly when
it is considered that tne conditions which
caused the closing down of the mills were
largely the result of mismanagement and lack
of proper executive administration. That the
properties are very valuable is shown by the
following brief description.

The mills are located at Chatham, New
Brunswick, which point is on the line of the
Canadian Eastern Railway, which connects
with the Intercolonial Railway at Chatham
Junction and with the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way at Fredericton.

The main mill was erected during the years
1886-89, but various additions have since
been made, including the erection of new
towers. The mill started operations in June,
1889, and was closed down in September,

The digester room is 84x82 feet, the equip-
ment on the first floor including four patent
brick-lined digesters ot a capacity of three to

Germany, also two digesters of a capacity of
seven to eight tons dry pulp per cook, built at
the Barrowfield Iron Works, Glasgow, and two

The second floor contains two circular acid —
tanks, three water tanks, with valves, Piping,
etc. The digesters are filled by opening slides
in bottom of ch‘p hoppers situated on floor
above. On the third floor are eight chip bins
or hoppers for the storage of wood chips to be
used in the digester immediately underneath.
The time taken in cooking averages from 12 to
14 hours. When cooked, the cover of the
bottom neck is swung clear, and the pulp
washed out into the pit opposite each ‘digester.

The filter room is 71x69 feet, and besides the —
usual equipment contains a Corliss condensing

engine of 175 h.p. for driving the machine room
side of the mill. In the furnace room, which
is 116x33 feet,there are ten pyrites burners and
eight sulphur burners.

The dimensions of the acid or chemical house
are 71x69 feet, with annex 46x23 feet and cool-
ing room 108x17 feet. The equipment includes
water and acid pumps, acid tanks, cooler
chests, etc. :

In the machine room, which is 126x69, there
are situated one Fourdrinier machine built by
Rice, Barton & Fales, two cylinder machines
built by the Bertram Company of Dundas,
Ont., screens, dryers, presses, cyclinder moulds,
back water pumps, etc.

The engine room is 82x28 feet, ai contains
one 500 h.p. Robb condensing engine, one 55

is a complete fuel economizer plant. No. 2
boiler house contains two 250 h.p. Galloway
boilers, one 250 h.p. Lancashire boiler and one
75 h.p. Polson boiler. os

stone. The warehouse and offices are 78x109
feet, store room 49x29 feet, and blacksmith
shop 86x29 feet.

The barking mill is built partly of brick and
partly of wood and is situated at a distance of
670 yards from the sulphite mill, with which it
is connected by a railway track, the bark wood
being conveyed to the sulphite mill by a steam
locomotive and cars belonging to the estate.
There is very extensive piling grounds at the
barking mill,through which the Canada Eastern
Railway have run sidings for the convenience
of unloading pulp wood and logs carried over
their road or hauled from the boom on the
Miramichi river. The barking mill contains
seven automatic barkers and six hand barkers,
besides one 150h.p. steam engine, three boilers
and brick furnace, six cut-off saws, eight small
cars for carriage of barked wood, one donkey
engine for piling logs, blower and dust collec-
tor, etc. It may be stated that the barking
of the wood was not done by the original man-
agement to good advantage, the system being
complicated and necessitating too much handl-
ing, and it is possible that when the mill is
again put into operation a different arrange-
‘ment for barking will be made.

There is in connection with the property a
log boom on the Miramichi river large enough
to hold with safety 2,500,000 feet of logs.
These are taken from the boom by a patent
haul-up, for which purpose there is a complete
equipment.

The construction and equipment account
shows that the cost of the plant was $711,727.
About 25 per cent. of this amount, however,
was spent in remodelling parts of the mill and
equipping it with larger and more modern
machinery. The present capacity of the mill
is estimated to be from 450 to 500 tons of
sulphite pulp per week. ©

The acid is made by the tower system, and
both sulphur and pyrites can be burned. The
Fibre Company made 100,000 gallons of 4.2
sulphurous acid per twenty-four hours, and, by
the addition of two or more more sulphur
burners, the quantity could be considerably
increased. The cost of pyrites, which was
obtained in Newfoundland, was $4.40 per ton,
being $2.90 for the pyrites and $1.50 for the
freight. The pyrites contained from 45 to 48
_ per cent. of sulphur. Limestone was obtained
om Cape Breton at $1.62%4 per ton of 2,240
s. delivered on their wharf,

the saw and pulp mills of the Timber Estates Company

J. A. Moore, of the Moore Investment Company,
Seattle, has become interested in the proposed pulp
mill on the north end of Vancouver Island. Accom-
panied by an engineer he recently inspected the water
power with a view to deciding upon plans for its utili-

‘The Pentecost Lumber Company, composed of cap-
italists of Watertown, N.Y., are operating on the
Pentecost river in the Province of Quebec. During the
past winter they took out a large quantity of pulp wood
which will be floated down the river to a point about
twenty-eight miles from the city of Quebec, where they
are establishing a large rossing plant. The officers of
this company are: B. L. Taylor, president ; J. B. Tay-

The Bella Coola Investment Company, representing
an organizatior of Seattle capitalists, have taken over
what was known as the Thompson concession of tim-
ber limits at Bella Coola, B.C., and will have the limits
surveyed. In this concession there are some 800,000
acres of fir, spruce and cedar, facing on tidal water
and all within a discance of two miles from water com-
munication. The concession also includes two water
powers with an aggregate of 20,o00 horse power.
It is likely that most of the timber will be taken out for
pulp wood. C. H. Baker, president of the Snoqualmie
Falls & White River Power Company, of Seattle, is the
president of thé company, and A. E. Williams, a
Seattle lumberman, manager.

Commenting upon the closing down of the pulp mill
at Mispec, N.B., the St. John Sun says that there ap-
pears to be no reason why the mill should close at the
present time, as the prices of the finished product of
the mills is higher than it ever has been in the history
of pulp making in St. John. Logs for making the pulp
can now be obtained tor between $4 and $5 per thous-
and feet. It requires 1,400 feet to make a ton of pulp,
which is now bringing $5 and $6 more than it has done
in many years, making ¢10 or $11 per ton as profits.
The demand is unusually strong,and conditionsin Canada
during the past year have been most favorable towards
the industry, - while the United States markets are good
and profits can be obtained without trouble for every
pound of pulp that can be manufactured in St. John.
When the mill closed down it had only on hand thirty
tons, or about one day’s output, unsold.

years connected with the lumber industry in Minnesota.
In the fall of 1902 he became part owner and manager

Captain Cameron was a man of great powers of en-
durance, and twice walked from Bruce Mines to Mid-
land, a distance of about 300 miles, on snow shoes.

Two years ago he retired from active work and took
a trip to Virginia in search of improved health. Mrs.
Cameron, three sons and one daughter survive him.

Mr. ROBERT HURDMAN.

Mr. Robert Hurdman, one of the pioneer lumbermen
of the Ottawa Valley, has joined the great majority,
having died suddenly of heart failure on May 4th last.
He was seventy-four years of age, and the young-
est and last surviving brother of the original Hurdman
family, identified for over halt a century with the lum-
bering industry in the Ottawa district.

Mr. Hurdman until recently enjoyed good health. A

THE LaTE Mr. ROBERT HURDMAN.

strong, robust constitution enabled him to attend, till
near the end, to tne details of his extensive and to him
engrossing business. At an age when other men
would have retired on their well earned dollars, Mr.
Hurdman made further large purchases of limits and
proceeded with the opération of them, confining himself
to the manufacture of square timber. These limits,
purchased from R. H. Klock & Company a couple of
years ago and situated in the Kippewa district, were
visited several times by Mr. Hurdman. A man of
kindly disposition, sterling worth, always considerate
of the welfare of others, his death will be regretted
by many.
Deceased was predeceased by his wife ia December,
1899, and leaves a grown up family of four sons and‘
two daughters, Robert A., of Kippewa, and John, of
Ottawa, being identified with the lumber business |

George C. Hurdman, of the firm of Hurdman
mitt, Ottawa, is a nephew. In religion deceased was
Methodist and in politics a Liberal. Mr. Hurdman i
survived by one sister, Mrs. Robert Frazer, of Cumber-
land, in het 83rd year. ,

Mr. Hurdman was the son ot the late Charles Hurd-
man, who emigrated to Canada from county Cavan,
Ireland, in 1818, and settled in Hull tewnship. He
was the youngest of five brothers. They were Wil-
liam, Charles, John, George and Robert, all well
known ‘‘ square timber men” in their day, The fam- —
ily first engaged in the lumbering business in 1866 on
the Petawawa river. Until 1879 the Hurdmans de-
voted’ their attention to square timber making, but in
that year they commenced log making on contract or
the mills. In 1872 limits were purchased in the Kip-
pewa district, and in 1879 the partnership known as
Sherman, Lord & Hurdman was formed. In it, with
the Hurdman brothers, were T. E. Lord, of Albany,
and Augustus Sherman, of Potsdam, N.Y. | The firm
operated the old Crannell mill in the Chaudiere dis-
trict, the logs being cut by the Hurdman brothers on
their limits. A limit was also purchased that year in
the Coulonge district. Several changes were necessi-
tated in the firm by the death of the partners, and in
1886 the name was changed to R. Hurdmar & Com-
pany, Mr. Robert Hurdman, just deceased, acting as
manager at the mill. Extensive limits were purchased .
in addition to those already held. ;

In 1891 another change was made in the firm, when —
Mr. A. E. Buell, of Burlington, and Mr. John C. Orr, 4
of New York, secured part interests, and the firm
name became Buell, Orr, Hurdman Company. __

Mr. Robert Hurdman also owned separate limits
and entered into partnership with the Shepard &
Morse Lumber Company, of Boston, to Operate his ©
limit in the Kippewa district. After the dissolution of _

this partnership he purchased limits from the Bronson
Company at Deep River, which he sold to Fraser &

Company. A few years ago Mr. Hurdman bought
from R. H. Klock & Company the limits at Ross _
Lake in the Kippewa, which he operated in conjunction |
with his sons until the time of his death. This business
will likely be continued by the sons. Mr. Hurdman’s
wealth never changed his manner. He was always a
man, approachable and affable.

A STORY ANENT SLOW CAR SERVICE.

The question cf delay in transit had been one
the lively subjects of the evening, and when the
story telling time came around Calaway got off
this one: —

He had two cars of lumber shipped at the
same time, one via aroad that we will call No.1
and the otherby another that tosave the blushes
of the general freight agent we will call No. 2.
The car shipped via No. 1 came in within a rea-
sonable time, and about two months later the
other came in. In comparing the freight bills
he noticed that while there was not roo ft. of
difference in the amount of lumber on the two
cars, the one coming in on road No. 1 hada
weight charge considerably in excess of that

voices and went to file a protest with road No.1
against the weight,and to back up his argument
with the local agent, showed the invoice and
weight report from road No. 2. He couldn’t faze
that agent,however,for the agent said: ‘‘That’s
easy to account for. The No. 2 roadisso slow
that your lumber dried out that
transit.”

Then some wag suggested that there was a
chance for the railroads and the dry kiln men
to get together and equip regular dry kiln cars
so that instead of drying lumber at the mills it

much in

could bedried in transit.-St. Louis Lumberman.

PASSING OF A LUMBER CONCERN,
The old saw mil] at Milledgeville, N. B., near the
junction of the St. John and Kennebecasis Rivers, is
being torn down, and this event marks the passing of

Jewett & Company, formerly E. D. Jewett & Com-
pany. The mill is more than half a century old,having
been remodelled several times, and the oldest mill in
these parts. It has been idle for two years and for
several seasons previously had run only occasionally.
The end came when one of the brick stacks, r10 feet
high, fell in 1902, killing three men who were making
repairs and demolishing the engines and much of the
machinery.

Thirty years ago the Jewetts were the largest lum-
ber manufacturers in the province, owning and operat-
ing eight first-class mills.

Mr. E. L. Jewett, the senior partner, has now re-
tired from active business, but retains the ownership
of several fine tugs and other valuable property.

demand for the wire barrel hoop in place of the old-
fashioned elm hoop. The coopers find such a difficulty
now in getting material suitable for wooden hoops that
not only has the price advanced to an enormous extent,
but it is practically impossible to get enough stock cf
suitable quality to supply the larger cooperage shops.
The con-equence is that in trying to use inferior stock
thers is a very serious loss of time and annoyance both
to the cooper and shipper. The wire barrel hoop con™
sists of a piece of No. 9, 10, 11 or 12 gauge steel wire
with tne ends twisted together. The Greening Wire
Company claim their hoops are now made in a perfect
circle, thus enabling them to slip down over the barrel
into their place without binding at any particular point.

Lower cost of installation than any other

method which will saw an equal number of -

superficial feet in a given length of time.

Smaller expense in operation, thus producing
lumber at a lower cost per thousand feet than
any other method.

Requires no more help to operate it than any
well equipped Circular Saw Mill.

Lumber has been sawn better and more accur-
ately cut by this method than by any other now
in use,

The Killam Tandem Circular Mill requires no
more skilled men to operate it than_is required
to operate the ordinary Circular Mill.

Dear Sir,—It gives us great pleasure to testify to the value of your Tandem Circular Saw Mill.
It has paid for itself twice over during the six months we have run it. It requires no more help to op-
erate it and the lumber is more evenly sawn. It does all that you claim it will and we would recom-
mend it to any manufacturer who wishes to make more and better lumber with the same help as with _
the Single Circular Mill. Wishing you success, we are :

machine and no delays. ‘
No time is lost in setting for any thickness —
from the cut of stationary saw up to six inches.
This machine takes the place of a resaw ina
mill and only requires a floor space of 6 ft. x 6 ft.
Also takes the place of a Twin Circylar Mill
that is now used for slabbing, and this machin
will side as much lumber as any Twin Circular,
thus saving the expense of a resaw and men to
operate the same. a
This machine is so cheap that any manufac-
turer of lumber can well afford to have one, for it
will pay for itself in a short time.
Will cut 50 per cent. more lumber than the
Circular Mills now in use.

Yours very truly,

HE TRIUMPH TURBINE

ie Is the most powerful wheel on the market to-day. A glance at
this cut of the centre shows that the buckets are designed to
secure the maximum of speed with great power and a free
discharge. Mr. E. S. Edmondson, of Oshawa, writes as fol-
lows under date of November 16th, 1903, regarding a 26 inch’
Vertical Triumph Wheel :

“The Wheel is strictly first-class in every particular,
and after a careful and thorough test I am prepared to say
that I believe it is the best wheel in the market for Elec-
trical purposes. It has high speed, large power, high effi-
ciency at part gate, and has practically‘no leakage. I am
more than pleased with the thorough and workmanlike ;
setting you gave me throughout.” ‘ad

For horizontal settings in large Pulp Mills, Cement Mills or Electric Power Bevéles-
ments this Wheel has no equal. . We invite your enquiries. Large catalogue to
be had for the asking.

We are always glad to submit estimates and prices on Improved Vulean and Leffel ;

you require more set, file the tooth with more bevel.

If you follow directions you cannot make a mistake. Be sure and:not

The attention of Manufacturers of Lumber is
called to the above named latest and best
method of sawing lumber.

The following advantages are obtained :

Lower cost of installation than any other
method which will saw an equal nuinber of
superficial feet in a given length of time.

Smaller expense in operation, thus producing
lumber at a lower cost per thousand feet than
any other method. ;

Requires no more help to operate it than any
well equipped Circular Saw Mill.

Lumber has been sawn better and more accur-
ately cut by this method than by any other now
in use. °

The Killam Tandem Circular Mill requires no
more skilled men to operate it than is required
to operate the ordinary Circular Mill.

CULAR SAW ILL

If solid saws are used, the larger one, when
worn down can be used for the smaller one,
thus saving expeuse for saws.

No difficulties in handling or setting by this
machine and no celays.

No time is lost in setting for any thickness
from the cut of stationary saw up to six inches.

This machine takes the place of a résaw in a
mill and only requires a floor space of 6 ft. x 6 ft.

Also takes the place of a Twin Circular Mill
that is now used for slabbing, and this machine
will side as much lumber as any Twin Circular,
thus saving the expense of a resaw and men to
operate the same,

This machine is so cheap that any manufac-
turer of lumber,.can well afford to have one, for it
will pay for itself in a short time.

Will cut 50 per cent. more lumber than the

Circular Mills now in use.

PROMINENT BRITISH COLUMBIA LUMBERMEN.

Mr. JOHN HENDRY.
os Mr. John Hendry, president of the British
Columbia Mills, Timber and Trading Com-
pany, is perhaps the most important man in the
lumber industry in British Columbia to-day, and
has had one of the most interesting careers.
Descendant of milling stock, it was only natural
that he should bave been the man to install the
machinery in the first large mill on the main-
land of British Columbia when it was
erected at Moodyville over thirty years
ago. Mr. Hendry was born on January
zoth, 1846, in the district of Belle
Dune, county of Gloucester, New
Brunswick, and is the second son of
‘the late James Hendry and Magaret
Wilson, who left Kilbride, Ayrshire,
Scotland, on the 6th of April, 1832,
in the ship ‘‘ Margaret. Ritchie,” on
which a large number came to Canada
and are still living in the Dominion,and
who remember the seaport Ardrossan.
“The father of the subject of this
sketch was engaged extensively in
milling enterprises in Belle Dune, es-
tablishing flour and lumber mills. Mr.
- Hendry was educated at the public
school in his native county, and at an
early age entered the same occupation
as his father. In conjunction with his
elder brother, he established a mill in
the distant part ot the county and
continued to conduct it until his father’s
death, when he took charge of the busi-
ness and carried it vn until his younger
brother became old enough to assume
control. His father had toward the
close of his life gradually centred his
interests in flour milling, and this
business not being congenial to Mr.
_Hendry’s tastes, he withdrew himselt
from connection with it at as early a date
as possible. In 1870, before going into any
other enterprise, he took a trip through a
portion of the Western States, and was greatly
inclined to establish a business in Duluth,
_ which was then just springing into existence,
and the excellent situation of which as a
fake port Mr. Hendry clearly saw. He re-
turned to New Brunswick, however, and
4 again established a saw mill. For two years he
continued at this,doing alarge export business,
one of his chief markets ‘being the West Indies.
Rye was restless in New Brunswick, and like
_ most young men of enterprise decided to en-
- large bis knowledge of the world. He*had de-
termined to go to the Argentine Republic, and

rage. He then turned his attention to British
Columbia, which had just entered the Canadian
Confederation, and about which there was a
great deal of talk. Early inthe summer of 1872
he made preparation for leaving Eastern Can-
ada, and in August he came by way of Duluth,

Coast being chiefly confined to Puget Sound.
He accordingly did not remain in the province,
but returned to Washington territory. As he
‘was anxious to obtain a knowledge of any de-
tails of the business peculiar to this coast, before
investing capital in an enterprise, he spent tie
winter in Seabeck, in the employ of the Wash-
ington Sawmill Company, engaged in survey-
ing logs and mill-wrighting. He remained there
till Apri!, 1873, when he decided to return to
British Columbia. He stopped on his way at
Port Gamble, where he was induced to enter the
employ of the Puget Sound Sawmill Company,
of which Mr. Cyrus Walker was then the local
manager. Here he was engaged at the same
work as at Seabeck and he had thus every facil-
ity to obtain an insight, not only into the man-
ner in which the milling business was conducted

on the Pacific Coast, but aiso of thoroughly
learning the quality of the timber, and es-
pectially that employed in the export trade.
In January,1874, he left Port Gamble.

The Moodyville saw mill on Burrard Inlet bad
been destroyed, and the manager, Mr. Moody,
had gone over to Puget Sound to engage mill-
Mr. Hendry de-
termined to see how matters stood and accord-
ingly came to British Columbia. | He went to
Moodyville, where he obtained the position of
foreman of the mill-wrights engaged in
insalling When the
mill was completed it ran day and
night, and Mr. Hendry had charge
during the night. He remained at
Moodyville until June, 1875, using his
opportunities during this time to study

wrights for its reconstruction.

the business. It seemed to him then
that it would be many years betore the
timber in British Columbia would be
very valuable, owing to its abundance
and the sparse population. The Red
River country was then coming into
prominence, and he observed the large
prices which were being given for lum-
ber in Winnipeg. He thought,
fore, that would be a better country than
British Columbia to engage in the in-
dustry. He went to Winnipeg, where
he remained for a very short time in-
deed. ~He was disgusted with the
stunted and sickly growth of the forests
of the plains after the magnificent
woods of British Columbia, and he
could hardly bring himself to regard
as timber the articles so termed. At
this time, too, business was very dull
in Winnipeg, owing to the grass-
hopper visitation. From there he re-
turned to the coast, and determined to
settle in California. When he arrived
in San Francisco he deposited his
inoney in the bank, and looked about the
country for some time. He finally decided
to go to the redwood country, and was on
the eve of starting when the bank in which
all his money was deposited went into liquida-
tion, and all he could get at that time was $50.
He saw it was useless to remain longer in
California, and he returned to British Columbia
where he was known.

President of the British Columbia Mills, Timber and Trading Company.

He went to Nanaimo first, where he spent
the winter building a saw mill for Mr. Carpen-
ter. He then went to New Westminster, where
during the summer of 1876 he put up a mill for
Mr.W.J.Armstrong. Inthe autumn he returned
to Nanaimo and formed a partnership with
Mr. David McNair to build and operate a sash
and door factory. Early in 1877 he went to

rent from Lake Beautiful to the city.

About 15 years ago the company purchased
100,000 acres of fir, cedar and spruce on Van-
couver Island and the mainland, all the logs
cut being towed to the mill by steam tugs.
The saw mill is 350 feet long by 55 feet wide,
but with the addition of the planing mill which
is attached it is easily from 600 to 700 feet long.
It is equipped with two band saws, large Paci-

has a frontage on the Inlet of 4050 feet. The
yard, which is without question the largest on
the Pacific Coast, has all been graded by the
C.P.R., 20 feet of earth having been taken
away from the tracks to the water front in
order to fill in their docks at Vancouver.
There are fully 25 acres ot piling ground with
plank roads and double deckers running right

trimmers, slash tables, lath machines, planers
and band and circular resaws. The capacity
is 100,000 feet per day of ten hours. The
shingle mill lies 200 feet to the east of the saw
mill. It is 4o feet long by 80 feet wide and is
equipped with five Dunbar shingle machines
with a capacity of 100,000 shingles a day.
Distributed equally across the yard are five
large sheds capable of holding 3,000,000 feet
of dressed lumber.

Power for driving the machinery is supplied
by steam. The boiler house stands away from
the main building and is thoroughly fireproof,
being built of stone and steel, and lined with
firebricks inside. It contains eight boilers

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN fs :

The capacity of the mill is 40,000 feet per
day of ten hours, nearly all of which is shipped
via the Canadian Pacific Railway to Manitoba
and the North-West.

The company possess over 30,000 acres of
high-class fir,cedar andspruce interspersed with
quite a large amount of white pine, situated
along the banks of the great Columbia River,
fifty miles from the mill. The logs are cut
and carried down the river to the mill, which
is confronted by a big eddy in the Columbia,
making a natural site for booms. Under pres-
ent arrangements 3,000,000 feet of lumber
can be stored in the cove in the form of booms,
but the company purpose harnessing the
eddy so as to make accommodation for

think that, in some instances at least, the criti-
cism is justified. A gentleman engaged in the
export lumber business with a very reliable
firm told me that he finds the greatest difficulty
in doing business on account of the neglect or
unwillingness of mill men to answer letters
addressed to them. He had on many occa-
sions written for prices on stock advertised for
sale without receiving a response. In his
opinion, if the stock had been sold in the
meantime, it would be but business courtesy
to advise to that effect. He was sorry to say
that he had less complaint to make in this re-
spect about the United States lumbermen. It
is true that the mill man as a rule is not fond
of clerical duties ; he prefers to be out about
the mill, the yard, or the log pond. His ne-
glect of matters of correspondence should not
be regarded as a breach of business courtesy,
or, at least, it is not intended in that light.
At the same time, strict attention to tne small
details of a business is often responsible in a

large degree for its success.

should, in this gentleman’s opinion, be min-

changes made in the rate of stumpage dues
and suggested that the Government should
aim to devise some plan under which the
charge would continue uniform. He did not
oppose the increase to $2 in the Ontario regu-
lations, for, being a limit holder who got in
on the ground floor, or in other words a holder
of old limits on which the dues are only $1, he
found the value of his timber enhanced by the
amount of the increased dues.

Lumber shipped from British Columbia to
the United States is now subjected to an extra
duty of $5.50 per thousand feet. The situa-
tion is thus explained by a correspondent ¥
‘‘According to the U.S. Tariff Act, 1897,
Schedule D, paragraph 195, any individual
U.S. Collector of Customs can add to the
duties imposed by this act any export duty,
tax or other charge imposed upon saw logs,
shingle bolts, etc.,by any country or independ-
The British Columbia Government
has indirectly imposed aa export tax, by pro-
viding in a recent act that all logs and bolts
shall pay a tax of about $2.00 per M., but if
manufactured in the province a rebate is grant-
ed reducing the royalty or tax to 50 cents per
M. There are two or three mills in Washing-
ton near the boundary line that depended upon
British Columbia for their supply of logs.
These mills have been able to convince the
Collector of Customs at Whatcomb that it is
his duty to add the amount of the alleged ex-
port tax, making the duty on some grades of
lumber $7.50 per M. Our provincial govern-
ment will probably have to change the Act
if we want to ship any lumber into the States.
Our mills are very short ot orders and cannot
even get enough cars from the C.P.R. to fill
the few orders that come in. At the same
time there is a large quantity of lumber going
into the North-West and Manitoba from the
Washington mills. A good deal of this lum-
ber is sized dimension lumber and should be
taxed 25 per cent., but owing to the laxity of
our customs officers itis admitted free. In order
to evade the tax, the Americans dress one side
with a planer and the other with a fine saw.”

THE CREOSOTING OF TIMBER.

The advantage of creosoting as a means of
preserving timber has been- recognized for
some time, and in England in particular this
method has been adopted quite largely by rail-
way companies, ‘engineers, and_ others.
Among the pioneers in this business were
English Bros., Limited, Wisbech and Peter-
borough, who have recently sent us an in-
teresting catalogue. They point out that
reosoting more than trebles the durability of

.

all exposed timber, and that fhe per cost «
the process is but from ten to twenty per cen ao
In the sheet piling of the river Nene the creo-
sote wood piling driven in 1854-6 is still stand-
ing firm, while similar piling executed in 1890,
only fourteen years ago, with the same class of
timber, without creosoting, has seriously” de-
cayed, and has now to be replaced.

For the proper creosoting of timber special,

plant and machinery are required ; the wood —
must be closed in air-tight cylinders, and ie
air, having been exhausted, the creosote oil is
admitted into the cylinder and forced into ‘ieee
pores of the wood at high pressure until an *
average of, say, 8 lbs. of oil has been absorbed _
per cubic foot of wood. Any stipulated quan-
tity from six to twelve pounds per foot can be
forced in, according to the specification and —
kind of timber, but, owing to the variation in
the grain of different wood, one piece may, of
course, absorb more or less oil than another, —
but the average will be reached, and all will be
found impregnated with the spirit of the creo- +
sote, which completely sterilizes the wood, a
thus preserving from decay the sap wood as —
well as the heart.
It is desirable that wood should not be cut
nor the face removed after creosoting if it can d
be avoided, as the heavier and more valuable
part of the creosote oil will be nearest the sur- f
face. It is claimed that the mere superficial

“nership company, composed of Mr. Hendry,
Mr. McNair and Messrs. Andrew Haslam and
_R. B. Kelly, was formed under the firm title
of Hendry, McNair & Co., and a small saw
mill, sash and door factory and box factory
i were established in New Westminster. The
fishing business on the Fraser river, which was
yearly becoming more important, made the need
Ne of a box factory more apparent. The business
_-at Nanaimo was still carried on by Messrs.
_ Hendry and McNair. In both places the busi-
mess increased rapidly. In 1880 the New
_ Westminster company found it necessary to
K become incorporated to hold real estate, and
accordingly the Royal City Planing Mills Com-
_ pany, composed of the same persons as the
_ partnership company, was organized and in-
corporated. Shortly after this, Mr. A. E. Lees,
ow of Vancouver, joined the company. Of this
'* company, Mr. Hendry became president and
__ general manager, and has since continued to
/ hold his position.
| ___In 1885 the Royal City Planing Mills,Com-
pany purchased the mill at Nanaimo and con-
_ tinued to conduct it for a year, when Messrs.

of stock in the company forit. These gentlemen
having gone out, the company was now com-
be posed of Messrs. Hendry, McNair, Kelly and

inthe industry. During the period of the boom

one of the few buildings left standing. During
_ this time the company had been acquiring timber

export trade from New Westminster. Owing to

dated under the title of the

British Columbia Mills, Timber & Trading Com-
pany. The success and prosperity of the com-
pany have been very marked, and have been due
to a very large extent to the untiring efforts
and foresight of the original founder, who has
continued in charge to the present time.

Mr. Hendry has had considerable to do of
late with railway enterprises. Some years ago
he was mainly instrumental in obtaining the
charter for the New Westminster Southern Rail-
way Company, and at the present time is presi-
dent of the Vancouver, Westminster & Yukon
Railway Company, which has its tracks con-
structed from New Westminster to Vancouver,
and over which the Great Northern will enter
when the government bridge is opened for traffic
this summer.

Mr. Hendry settled in-New Westminster in
1878 and was elected to the City Council in 1888,
and was chairman of the committee which had in
hand the resurveying of the city. He was one
of the charter members of the New Westminster

Board of Trade, and served for several years as |

president and vice-president. He was urged to
accept the mayoralty of that city in 1889, but
resigned after six months in consequence of his
position as chief magistrate clashing with that
of member of the New Westininster Southern
Railway Company. Mr. Hendry is also inter-
ested in other enterprises on the lower mainland.
He is a Mason, a member of the A.O.U. W. and
an adherent of the Presbyterian church. In Feb-
ruary, 1882, he married Adeline, daughter of
the late Donald McMillan, of Pictou, Nova
Scotia, one daughter, Hldyen Irene, being the
result of the union. .

‘Because of Mr. Hendry’s extensive interests
in Vancouver, he erected a large residence in
the city last year, and itis his intention to live

therein.

GUARDING OF CIRCULAR SAWS.

The use of saw guards in England is said to
have resulted in a great reduction in the num-
ber of accidents from the operation of circular
saws. The guard illustrated herewith is
manufactured by M. Glover & Company, saw
mill engineers and patentees, of Leeds. It is
‘stated that these guards may be seen in gov-
ernment exhibition offices, intelligence bureaus,
and institutions of various nations, to which
they have by request been officially supplied as
recognized standard inventions, and the illus-
tration is from a photograph of one of these
reproduced in Page’s Magazine.

The guard is of brass and steel, neatly de-
signed and finished. Its chief feature is its
accurate adjustability, and as this, of course, is
a most vital point in the construction of a sdw
guard, it may be useful to explain how the
vious adjustments are arrived at.

‘he illustration shows that a slightly larger
sa\, .han the one fixed may be used with the
same guard by (1) raising the vertical shaft, 3,
in the bracket which raises the whole guard ;
(2) by. screwing down the milled screw, M,
held by alock nut on the top of the hood or
front guard, which raises the front of the
guard, thus assuming a larger circie (3) by

slot, 7, and (4) by pulling back the rack knife,

o

9, to admit of the larger diameter of saw, and
which back knife is held firmly by a simple
device underneath the table top.

In order to cause the ‘‘Ideal” guard to
collapse circularly to fit smaller sizes of saws
the reverse means are used, and all the adjust-
ments can be almost instantaneously made.
The vertical shaft, 3, is first lowered, carrying
the guard down close to top of saw. The
milled screw, M, is then unscrewed until the
front hood, 12, falls on to the curved end of the
tilting holder, 9. The tilting holder, 9, is next
tilted up, thus raising the end, which is shown
resting just above the ‘‘ wing nut,” and allow-
ing the front hood, 12, to come lower or nearer
to the centre of saw to suit the smaller saw
desired, there being a simple ‘‘ hinged bolt,”
15, the round head of which just shows under-
neath the ‘‘ tilting holder” almost vertically
above the centre line of saw, and this bolt
fixes the holder in the required position. It is
then necessary to unfasten the wing nut, W,
and lower the ‘‘blade,” 7, with rad-
ial slot to suit the saw, 7, after which the

‘“ back knife,” 6, is moved closer to the smaller.

bolted to the table to allow of the shaft, 5,
supporting the guard .being fixed above and
exactly central, and parallel with centre line of
saw spindle, and the ‘‘back blades” or ‘‘knives”’
must be exactly in line with the saw.

It will be readily seen that the ‘‘ front hood,”

12, bearing name can be at once lowered or.

raised, is held in position on the T slide on
‘‘ tilting holder,” 9, by means of the small

hand wheel, 11, and bracket, while by a turn

of the ‘‘ wing nut,” W, which is on aT headed

bolt, the ‘‘ back blades” can be immediately

disconnected from the brass portions of the
guard, which can be swung round if desired
for any particular purpose, and swung back
again into exactly the same position by means
of the safety collar on shaft, 3.

The Ontario Goverrment has appointed a forester,
in the person of Dr. Judson Clark. Dr. Clark is a
graduate of the Agricultural College, Guelph, and re-
ceived his forestry training under Dr. Fernow, late of
Cornell University.

Much dissatisfaction is felt among British Columbia
lumbermen,-through the checking of the growth ofa
trade in special grades of mill stuffs tu the United
States, owing to the retaliatory legislation of the United
States Government, because the British Columbia legis-
lators had the presumption to put a stop to the denunda-

tion of their forests by: United States citizens, without —

substantial benefit accruing to the people of this pro-
vince. The United States Consul informs our represen-
tative that a tax of $5.50 per thousand feet has been

imposed on British Columbia rough or manufactured ©

timber under Section 194 of the Dingley tariff.

HARDWOOD INSPECTION RULES REJECTED.
The outlook for the adoption of national
rules for the inspection of hardwood lumber

throughout che United States and Canada is

much less promising than a few months ago,
events having taken an unexpected turn. A
brief history of the movement is necessary to
an understanding of the situation. The Na-
tional Hardwood Lumber Association was or-
ganized in 1896 for the avowed purpose of
securing the adoption of uniform grading rules,
its membership being composed of both the
wholesale dealers and manufacturers, with the
former predominating. The rules for which
they sought recognition were adopted by

_ dealers in all parts of the country and by the

+

Wisconsin Hardwood Manufacturers’ Associa-
tion. They did not, however, meet the ideas
of all manufacturers, some of whom, about
two years ago, organized the National Hard-
wood Manufacturers’ Association, with the in-
tention of framing rules more in the interest of
the manufacturer. The advantage of having
but one set of rules being recognized by both
associations, a joint committee was appointed
to fix upon a uniform basis for the inspection
of all kinds of hardwood lumber.
mittee framed a new set of rules, which were

This com-

to receive the sanction of a majority of the
members of each association before becoming
effective.

The National Hardwood Lumber Associa-
tion held its annual meeting on May 22nd last,
and declined to adopt the rules arranged by
the joint committee. A resolution to amalga-
mate the two associations was also rejected.
Thus the adoption of national rules is far from
being accomplished, as the breach between the
dealer and the manufacturer would appear to

_ have been widened by this action of the associa-

tion. There are some dealers, among whom is

Hon. J. N. Scatcherd, of Buffalo, who claim

that, lumber being produced at so many different
points and skipped to so many different mar-
kets, it is almost impossible to formulate a set
of rules which would prove acceptable to manu-
facturer, millman and consumer. Whether
this is the case time alone will tell.

Canadians have been watching with much
interest the outcome of the agitation and plans
for uniform inspection of hardwoods across the
line, and which it is intended shall eventually
extend to Canada. One or two informal meet-
ings of the hardwood dealers have been held
in Toronto for the purpose of taking similar
action for a limited district, but the business is
in such a crude state that much discussion and

diplomatic adjustment will be necessary before ©

anything tangible is arrived at. It is earnestly
to be hoped that the matter will not be per-
mitted to drop, as recognized rules even for_
Toronto and Western Ontario would be
better than the entire absence of definite rules,
as at present.

CONDITIONS INSPIRE CONFIDENCE.

Within the past year the opinion has been
many times expressed that the crest of the
wave had been reached in the present era of
commercial and industiial prosperity in Can-
ada and the United States. Evidence has not
been lacking of late that this prediction was
well timed. There has been a falling off in
the consumption of many commodities, prices
of which have shown a gradual decline for
some months past. The decline in the price
ot iron and steel products has been, we think,
more marked than in almost any other class
of material which enters into construction
work.

There are already indications that the bottom
has been or will soon be reached in the declin-
ing tendency of iron and steel prices. The re-
action has been of a healthy character, and has
proceeded: without serious disturbance to either
capitalists or the laboring classes. It has, on
the other hand, permitted construction work to
be undertaken at a moderate cost, a condition

which is certain, sooner or later, to lead to

industrial activity. In the United States,
where slackening of trade has been the more
pronounced on account of a Presidential elec-
tion five months hence, building operations are
more active than at any time in the past two
years. In Canada the reaction has heen
scarcely noticeable except for the dumping
policy pursued by certain United States manu-
facturers. Building is flourishing throughout
almost the entire Dominion. In the city
of Winnipeg alone buildings to the value of
over $5,500,000 have been built this year or
are in course of erection, and in British Col-
umbia there is activity in the same direction.
Generally speaking, the enlarged building op-
erations are not in the nature of a boom, as
speculative building is at a standstill, except
perbaps in Winnipeg, to which point many
Americans have been attracted. The buildings
are needed for the accommodation of the
people and must be erected almost regardless
of cost.

Crop prospects are favorable to good busi-
ness conditions. The United States is prom-
ised an abundant yield of wheat, corn and cot-

EDITORIAL NOTES. — oP

There is a good deal of misconception ‘ree
garding the properties of Mountain tamarag, or
what is known in the western part of the
United States as larch. It has been con-
founded by many dealers and contractors with —
the inferior eastern swamp tamarac, a very
poor class of lumber. The western product is
of a very rich even color, greatly resembling
cedar, although the grain is not so pronounced. —
It furnishes one of the best of high grade
finishes, not taking second place to fir or any —
other high grade Coast lumber. It is not “so ~
hard as fir, but takes a very fine polish, and is
easier to work, being especially well adapted —
for flooring, mouldings, and wainscotting. —
All the Winnipeg factories are very anxious to —
secure it in clears. ign ae

The appointment of Dr. Clark to the posi- —
tion of forester for the Ontario ‘Government |
has raised a question as to the duties of this —
office. The opinion has been advanced that —
it is a preliminary step towards the application —
of a practical forestry system to the extensive —
forest reserves which have been set apart by —
the Government and which will doubtless be —
increased at each favorable opportunity. Hon.
Mr. Davis, Commissioner of Crown Lands, |
announced some time ago that it was proposed
to sell the timber on these reserves as it
matured, under the direction of the Crown’s”
forester, and it may be that Dr. Clark’s duties
will be the supervision of this work. It is to
be hoped that in perfecting their forestry sys-
tem the Government will give due attention to
the preservation of the hardwoods, which are i

“VIEWS OF PROMINENT B.C. LUMBERMEN. —

Mr. H. H. Spicer, of Woods & Spicer, Vancouver :

“The particularly unsatisfactory condition of the shingle
trade in British Columbia is owing to the fact that the
capacity of the British Columbia mills is more than four
times in excess of the demand from all parts of Canada. To
all parties acquainted with the trade it is well known that
lumber and shingles from the United States are allowed free
entry into Canada, we thus being deprived of a very con-
siderable portion of a trade which is already far and away
too small to take care of the ordinary output of our mills.
This competition is particularly severe at present on account

of the depressed condition of the lumber trade in that coun-
try. So keen has this competition become that they are
using our Canadian territory as a dumping ground for
shingles and low grade lumber. In my idea there is no

_ reason whatever why the government should rot grant us
protection against the products of the U.S. mills. The
farmers of Manitoba and the Territories should be willing
to buy Canadian lumber and shingles and to pay a fair price
for them, for the reason that the people of Britisn
Columbia are among their best customers. The farming
community are protected and why should the government
deny us protection, or at least secure for us free access to
the United States market? The effect on the settler of the

west could not possibly be detrimental and prices could not _

go beyond a reasonable figure, as there are so many mills in
Western Canada that the natural course of competition will

_at all times prevent prices from reaching unreasonable limits.
I feel very strongly against the selfish policy of the north-
western farmers and cannot for the life of me understand
how they can lose sight of the fact that if we are not pros-
perous it will ‘certainly affect them. Furthermore, we are a
growing community and possess all the resources that go to
make up a great manufacturing country which some day will
prove a boon to the settlers of the great west. Why the
goverment are prepared to grant protection to one industry
and section and not do the same with the rest I cannot
understand. On the other hand, if they are determined or
free trade why are they so inconsistent as to protect every
other trade byt lumber ?”

Mr. E. H. Heaps,. Vancouver :

«* While we are kept fairly busy owing to the fact that we
are one of the aldest firms on the Coast, yet we feel there is
great danger ahead for the lumber industry in the efforts the:
Americans are making to supply the Canadian market with
their lower grades of lumber, which, of necessity,means the
prevention of the marketing of our lower grades unless wc
are prepared to sell at a loss as they are doing, I being in
possession of a statement to that effect. They cannot cut
lumber for less than $2.50 a thousand feet ; while their logs
are costing them from $6 to $7 ; and yet they are selling at

- $3 a thousand in the Northwest and Manitoba. They are
in a different position to what we are. In this country if
we do our own logging, as most of us do,we have to take the
timber out of the woods just as we come across it. That
gives us a very large proportion of rough logs, while even
on good land we usually only succeed in procuring two or
three good logs, the top ones being generally rough. Our
local market being very small we find great difficulty in
marketing our rough lumber. Down in the Sound business
is carried on by large logging companies who usually grade

the logs after placing them in the water and who will sell a.

mill a boom of logs of any desired grade. This enables a
_ mill to buy logs that will satisfy customers and also enable
them to escape the manufacture of a large amount of unpro-
fitable lumber. The American local and home markets con-
sume a very large quantity of rough lumber, but not sufficient
to meet the supply, consequently they have been entering
the Canadian market and selling over ten to twelve million
_ feet per month at prices that would leave no profit to a
British Columbia mill. This condition of affairs has prevailed
for some years but it has become much worse since the com-
mencement of the American industrial depression. The
amount they marketed last year in the Territories and Man-
itoba, it is estimated, was 100,000,000 feet,and at the rate it
is coming in this year it is expected these figures will be in-
creased to 150,000,000 fet. It is estimated that the New
Ontario mills and the small mills scattered through Manitoba
manufacture about 150,000,000 feet per year, the Mountain
mills of British Columbia about 150,000,000 and the Coast
~ mills about 100,000,000.

charges than we have, and coupled with the importations
from the States it appears as if it will be almost impossible
for us to market our rough lumber.

“The government’s position regarding the state of the
trade is a very amusing one. While they are doing their
best to regulate the price of lumber for the benefit of the
settler, why do they not also in his interests try and fix the
price of the land owned by the C.P.R., also the freight rates
charged for the transporting of his produce? The answer
to this and one that is indisputable is that the C.P.R. has to
depend mainly upon the lumber trade for its east bound
freight. . The high rate they charge increases the cost of
lumber to such an extent that dissatisfaction has been aroused,
and in order to divert attention from the manifest ynfairness
of such rates the C.P.R. with its tremendous power has suc-
ceeded in throwing the blame for the high prices upon the
lumberman. The freight charges, it is estimated by the
secretary of the Western Retail Lumbermen’s Associa-
tion, amount to one and a half times the total cost, of pro-
duction at the mill. In conclusion I am firmly convinced
that unless the government take action to assist us their day
of reckoning in this province will soon arrive.”

Mr. J. G. Scott, Pacific Coast Lumber Company, Van-
couver :

‘©The Dominion Customs Tariff, 1897, in section 611,
provides for the free admission into Canada of sawed or
split boards, planks, deals and other lumber, when not fur-
ther manufactured than dressed on one side only. This
section goes on to enumerate a long list of wood products
including ‘‘ shingles of wood.” The United States Tariff of
197 in section 195 provides for a duty of $2 per thousand
feet board measure on rough lumber and an additional duty
of 50 cents per thousand feet for each side planed, or if
planed and tongued and grooved $1.50 per thousand feet
This same paragraph provides that if any country imposes a
tax against the export of logs an additional duty shall be
imposed equal to the amount of such tax on the articles
mentioned in this section.

“The Dominion Government sanctioned the placing of
lumber and shingles on the free list in the first instance as a
reciprocal move in return for these same articles being placed
on the free list by the United States Government under the
provisions of the McKinley Tariff. Later the U.S. Dingley
Tariff came into effect, enforcing the above mentioned
duties, bwt no similar move has been made by the Dominion
Government. At the time the Dominion Customs Tariff,
1897, was before the House, the lumber manufacturing
industry of Canada protested against the free admission of
lumber and shingles and have continued to protest and to
advance arguments in favor of their contentions at every
possible opportunity year after year without result as yet.
No arguments in refutation have ever been advanced against
our request being granted. Several years ago, when a large
deputation of lumbermen from the various Provinces waited
on Sir Wilfrid Laurier, in support of our contention, an un-
qualified admission of the unfairness of our position was
made by the Premier, who made out that a Tariff com-
mission composed of delegates from the Imperial and Dom-
inion Governments was to meet shortly at Washington, when
it was hoped the cause of reciprocity would be advanced,and
that it might be regarded as prejudicial to this cause if the
Dominion Government took action just then in the way of
imposing a duty on lumber and shingles. We were further
led to expect that should nothing result from the labors of
the commission, we might expect the government to take
action. As you know, the efforts of this commission were
fruitless, and notwithstanding the fact, no steps have been
taken to remedy the existing anomoly in the Dominion Cus-
toms Tariffs, and no tangible reasons have been advanced
why this should not be done.

‘In the faith that the industry would ultimately get fair
play from Ottawa, there has of late years been a very heavy
increase inthe number of lumber manufacturing plants,
both on the coast, in the interior of the Province, and in the
North-West Territories, and several millions of dollars have
been expended in the erection of the most modern and most
labor saving plants, whose combined capacity is more than
sufficient to supply present existing demands within our own
Dominion, and competition among the Canadian manufac-
turers themselves is keen. The proximity of the manufac-
turers of Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Minnesota to
certain of our Canadian markets, gives them,natural advan-
tages in the way of shorter hauls and lower freight rates and
renders them at all times formidable opposition, but although
this opposition has been noticeable and has retarded the
development of the industry in this Province it has never

UMBERMAN | 1

been as keenly felt as during the past year Or two, owing to
the fact that American conditions are at the present time
badly disturbed, The usual unrest preceding the Presiden-
tial election has brought on business depression in building
lines and overproduction in lumber and shingles, and as a
result all available Canadian markets are being used as tem-
porary dumping grounds. I presume that this acute state
of affairs will not be permanent, probably within two years
conditions on the American side will azain be normal, but I
think I am speaking well within the bounds of moderation
when I say, that should the present unfair tariff conditions
be allowed to remain, there is very grave danger, if not ab-
solute certainty, that the result will be the complete elimina-
tion of many British Columbia mills, and later on when the
American producers withdraw from Canadian markets to
operate in more profitable fields, it will be found that there
will not be enough Canadian mills in operation to respond
to the demand, and any temporary advantages the Prairies
now have will cost them dearly in the long run.

‘“‘Monied men in Eastern Canada, encouraged by the
heavy emigration into our Prairie Provinces, have, in good
faith, found means to build many modern plants that have
gone up recently in British Columbia. If our claims receive
no recognition at Ottawa, these ventures will result in loss
and disaster, and the industry will sink into a state of disre- .
pute that will take a long time to recover from, and when it
is fairly taken into consideration the amount of money that

the lumber industry brings nto the Province for distribution,
it will be realized that the prosperity of the Province is more
dependent on the lumber business than is generally known,
and, if our mills close down, the effect will be widely felt.

‘©The attention of the Dominion House was recently
drawn to the condition of the lumber industry cn the Pacific
Coast by some of the British Columbia members, when repre-
sentatives from the Territories spoke against the case of the
British Columbia members, making use of many entirely un-

statements, among them, the statement that the British
Coiambia manufacturers had entered into a combine with
lumber dealers in the North-West. I maintain that this is
an absolute falsehood. No combine whatever exists now or
ever did exist or could possibly ever exist. As to the oft
repeated statement that prices are unduly high, I would re-
mind any man who makes such a statement that saw mills
have not as yet been dividend payers, the business, until the
past year or two, having been a wholly unprofitable venture,
and probably over 85 per cent. of those who have embarked
in the line thus far, have experienced disastrous failures.
Any banker or business man in the country who has followed
the history of the trade can attest to the correctness of this
statement, so that the statement that we are making too
much money sounds to us like ironical mockery.

“‘ The woollen manufacturing trade is pressing for an in-
crease in their duties. I have heard the statement made
that the reason their business is unprofitable may be ac-
counted for by the fact that they continue to operate with
antiquated machinery and methods. Whether this be true
or not I cannot say, but no such assertion can be made re-
garding the lumber industry here, as B.C. has mills equip-
ped with the most modern machinery in the world. The
wages we pay are admittedly high, but the expense of living
here is equally high, and any attempt on the part of the
manufacturer to materially reduce wages. would be sure to
produce industrial strife, and should be avoided as far a
possible. ”

QUEBEC TIMBEER LANDS.

The annual report of Hon. S. N. Parent,
Minister of Lands, Mines and Fisheries for
the Province of Quebec, states that the ordin-
ary revenue in 1903 of the woods and forests
branch, including timber dues, ground rents,
transfer bonuses, and fines for infringements,
amounted to $879,910.40. The sale of timber
limits by auction in June last realized $361,904. -
09, bringing the total receipts to $1,241,814.-
49. The receipts are larger than any previ-
ous year. The amount collected tor timber
dues exceeded that of any previous years with
the exception of 1898. Particular mention is
made of the bonuses on transfers, amounting
to $20,108, due to the changes made in the
regulations in 1901 by which these bonuses,
which formerly were $1, were increased to $4
for each square mile transferred.

The Commissioner points out the great dif-

ference between the Quebec forests of fir and

spruce and those to be found in Ontario con-
sisting almost exclusively of pine of the finest
growth. He argues that when conditions are
considered, the prices realized for limits in
Quebec compare very favourably with the
results of sales in other provinces. The Que-
bec limits which have been sold are entirely
without means of communication and trans-
port. The lumber shanties are supplied by
canoes in summer and chiefly by sleighs in
winter, with long distances to cover ; while
the logs have to be floated a proportionate dis-
tance down rivers broken by rapids, longer and
more winding than in Ontario. The latter
province is also more tavourably situated to
market its lumber in the United States. The
Commissioner states that radical changes are
imperatively necessary in the fire Jaws in order
to properly protect the forests from fire.

who sold their timber in advance were
particularly fortunate, as there has been
a decline of fully five cents per cubic foot
in the price of waney and a proportionate
decline in square timber. The salvation
of the market would seem to depend
upon a curtailment of operations on the
part of manufacturers. If this policy is
pursued it should be possible to maintain

prices at the present reduced basis, but

if operations are continued with little re-
gard to demand, the result will doubtless
be a further decline in values. The wis-
dam of the former course should be ap-

parent to ali operators when it is remem-

bhered that the cost of getting out timber
has increased during the past few years
quite in proportion to the advance in price.

UNITED STATES,

Compared. with one year ago the move-
the United
States shows a falling off, not marked, but

ment of lumber throughout

sufficient to prevent any recovery in prices
from the decline which has taken place
during the past six months. The curtail_
ment in démand has resulted largely from
a decreased consumption by the railroads,
as building operations are normally active.
Many persons are looking for a revival in
business after the presidential nominations
are over next week, as there is a strong
feeling that the business interests of the
country are not likely to suffer through a
change in the fiscal policy. One of the
encouraging signs from a lumber stand-
point is an increasing demand for stock
from the Eastern States. This is reported
by the Lake Superior manufacturers, who
are holding prices firmly on the ground
that the amount of lumber to be produced
this year will be no more than equal to the
demand. There is especial firmness in
No. 3 and 4 boards. The old stock of No:
4 boards has been entirely cleaned out,
and there is a very light supply of No. 3.
The decline in the price of Norway floor-
ing has resulted in a heavier movement of
that Jumber. The weakest grade in pine
is shop common, for which inquiries are
very light.

Weakness is more pronounced in hard-
woods than in pine. Business has been
disappointing and stocks have accumulated
to a greater extent than was believed pos-
sible, two months ago.
The northern
‘woods, such as birch, basswood, elm, and

The country de-
mand is lacking. hard-
maple, have declined about $1 perthousand
feet, but are steady at the lower prices.
Basswood has shown some improvement
during the past week, but is still a slow
seller, while birch is moving in larger
volume.

GREAT BRITIAN.

There has really been no improvement
in the British lumber market since last
writing. The opinion is expressed that
this season is likely to witness heavy con-
signments, is which case buyers would
have no difficulty in being able to purchase
anything they may require in reasonable
quantities. The fear of such shipments
is working against the market and ship-
pers are, if anything, showing greater
anxiety to close contracts, with a further
shading of prices in some instances. At
public sales prices showed
further weakness. Concerning spruce
deals the Timber Trades Journal says:
“The low c.i.f. offers that are reported
in respect to spruce deals must be accept-
ed ina qualified sense, and do not beara
iull significance unless the specifications
From what we

are taken into account.
can gather the market for 3 x 9 inch deals
has not varied much from the position it
stood in two or three months ago. Some
depression has been experienced, and
where shippers pressed sales they have
had to make concessions. If what we
hear is correct, there has been some
slight improvement in the export trade
during the past week or two, and from
this holders are looking forward to a
more active inquiry.”

STOCKS AND PRICES.

The first of the season's log drives down
ihe Moria river has begun to arrive at
Belleville, Ont. It totals 25,000 pieces.

D. E. Sprague’s log drive has started
down the Red river for Winnipeg. It
contains 6,000,000 feet. Mr. Sprague will
also get 6,000,000 feet of logs from Rainy
Lake by train.

Robert Aitken, who has been superin-
tending driving operations on the <Aroos-
took river in New Brunswick, has been
successful in getting out all his old logs,
about 9,000,000 feet.

It is estimated that 30,000,000 feet of
saw logs will come down the Sturgeon
river this season. J. R. Booth will drive
12,000,000 feet, Gordon Bros. 8,000,000
feet, the Victoria Harbor Lumber Com-
pany 8,000,000 feet, Cockburn & Son
2,000,000 feet, and the Nippising Lumber
Company less than a million feet.

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.
i " (Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN )
Orrawa, June 24th; 1904.—Compara-
tively little lumber is being shipped from
the Ottawa district mills these days, either
by rail or water. The English markets
receiving but small shipments and nothing
is going to the United States outside New
York and district. About a score of lum-
ber barges were here with coal this week,
but only a very few could get lumber asa
return cargo tothe States.
High water in the Ottawa has interfered

with the movement of lumber by barge.
However, as the river is dropping to. its
normal level, the shippers are finding it
possible again te work at the docks.
Most trouble was experienced at Calumet
and Rockland. At the latter point part
of the yards was flooded and the tracks
will need repairing.

It is hkely that the high water will have
the effect of reducing the season’s lumber
cut.
running about half time and the Perley
mill at Calumet and the Edwards Com-

_pany’s mill at Rockland were also inter-
fered with by the high water.

Inquiry shows that Ottawa lumber prices
are stationary, holding to the figures that
have ruled all spring. Dulliness is about
the word that describes the lumber trade
heieabouts at present.

The English market is quiet, so quiet in
faci that considerable square timber that
was cut for summer sale in the Old Country
will be left on the limits until next season.
Discussing the square timber end of the
business, a lIcading operator said that
present prices are not within eight to ten
cents a toot as good as the prices at which
sales were made last fall. Fraser & Com-
pany and Brennen & Company are two
firms that have decided to hold over their
square timber on account of the slump in
in prices.

From present indications, and for the
above reasons, there will be a big decline
in the production of square timber next
season.

It was persistently rumored recently
that Mr. Thomas Mackie, M.P., had sold

others at an advance of $100,000 on the

chasing horses and making other arrange-
ments to work the limits himself, so that
the-talk of sale is groundless.

The high water in the Ottawa river
caused. a break in the Des Joachims dam
above Pembroke lately. About 300,000
logs and pieces of pulpwood._ were liberat-
ed, and it was feared at first that great
damage and delay would be caused by the
distribution of the logs. However, the
logs were all collected by the steamers of
the Upper Ottawa Improvement Company
within a few days. The company was
favored in the work by natural conditions,
a strong east wind holding the logs in
place.. The companies interested were
J. R. Booth, W. C. Edwards Company,
Hawkesbury Lumber Company; McLach-

Reports show that all the log drives are

BANQUET OF THE QUEBEC PULP WOOD
ASSOCIATION.

The first annual banquet of the Quebec Pulp Wood
Association was held in the Grand Central Hotel, Sher-
brooke, -Que., on May 31st last. Mr. H. M. Price,
president of the association, presided, and had at his
right Mayor J. O. Camirand and Mr. J. H. Walsh,
general passenger agent of the Q.C.R., and on his left
Mr. William Farwell, president, and Mr. James Mc-
Kinnon, general manager of the Eastern Townships
Bank. Among those present were :—Messrs. E. W.
Tobin, M.P., B. A. Dugal, manager Bank National ;
F. N. McCrea, B. C. Howard, D. O. E. Denault, E.-C.
Gatien, E. Lagueux, L. S. Channell, L. A. Belanger,
J. S. Tetreault, A. Gendron, J. A. Precourt, Sherbrooke;
John Champoux, D'Israeli;D. H. Pennington, St. Julie.
G. C. Poulin, St. Jean ; O. C. Morrisette, Lake Megan-
tic ; C. C. Wilson, Lewiston, Me.; L. Bolduc and N. T.
Turgeon, St. Francis; G. P. Nadeau, Stanfold; B.
Quinn, Windsor Mills.

The toast of the King having been duly honored, Mr.
O. C. Morrisette, of Lake Megantic, proposed the toast
of the Quebec Pulp Wood Association, coupling with it
the name of the president.

In reply Mr. Price stated that enquiry had often been
made as to what were the objects of the Association,
and he would state briefly the reasons why they had
formed themselves into an association. They were
joined together to promote the pulpwood interests in
the Province of Quebec, by union and co-operation,
and to impress upon the shippers that it was in their
interests to ship nothing but pulpwood of the very best
quality ; to see that all contracts were observed, and
that they got the necessary railway tacilities. Mr. Price
dealt with the shipment of pulpwood to the United
States. It was apparent to everyone in the business
that the United States was dependent to a great extent
on Canada for its supply of pulp wood. From statistics
with which he had been furnished, he found that the
United States consumed about 2,000,00c cords of pulp
wood, and from the same figures’ he found that Canada
supplied about 400,000 cords. Canada shipped about
the same quantity of ground pulpwood as in the cord.

_He was of the opinion that the whole of the pulpwood

should be manufactured in Canada. He was a strong
protectionist, and believed that all Canadians should be
protectionists insofar as protecting their industries
were concerned. If steps were taken to protect the
pulpwood industry it would mean that capital would be
brought into the country, and the pulpwood would be
manufactured in our own country. He said that they
should take every means to see that the wood which
they contracted for should be of the full length. Com-
plaints had béen received in regard to this, and the

_ sooner it was stopped the better.

Mr. E. W. ‘Tobin, M.P. for Richmond and Wolfe,
spoke at some length on the pulpwood question as it
was before the country to-day. He believed that’ they
should join together, and sell their pulpwood f.o.b. on
the cars. There had been a great increase in the pulp-
wood business during the past few years. While they
might all be protectionists insofar as the lumber busi-
ness was concerned, he believed that what they really
They were getting a good
price for pulpwood to-day. The mills in Canada were
getting $4 to $5 a cord, while in New York state it was
selling for $11 a cord. He did not believe in an export
duty on pulpwood, because if that were put on it would
effect the farmers and settlers. Mr. Tobin suggested
that the Association should take up the question of in-

" surance, and if they worked together as an Association
_ they would get cheaper rates.

Mr. F. N. McCrea proposed’ ‘‘ Our Guests,” and

i ‘coupled with the toast the Mayor of Sherbrooke, Dr.
2 ‘Camirand, Mr. Wm. Farwell,
: General Passenger Agent Q.C.R.

and Mr. J. H. Walsh,

Mayor Camirand referred to the great strides of the
pulpwood business in the last twenty years. He always
regretted to see so much pulpwood going out of the
country, when it might be manufactured in this country
if there was an export duty.

Mr. Wm. Farwell said that they had anavailable asset
in their lumber lands. The people did not appreciate
the value of the vast lumber interests in the country.
He was a strong advocate of protection. He was in
favor of absolute protection. This Canada was getting
to be a big nation, and the only way they could build it
up was to follow the example of their neighbors to the
south of them. They did not want to be French,
English, Scotch or Irish, but one people, and ,when
they decided to be as one people then their country
would increase and stretch from the North Pole to the
Gulf of Mexico. If they had an export duty on pulp-
wood, and turned out the very best article, they would
soon hold the market of the world.

Mr. J. H. Walsh said that the railways were in close

Mr. HERBERT M. PRICE,
President of the Quebec Pulp Wood Association,

touch with and greatly interested in the pulpwood busi-
ness. The shipment of pulp was a source of revenue to
the railways. He;was somewhat surprised at the figures
given by the President in regard to the amount of pulp-
wood shipped to the United States. He thought he
was safe in saying that of the 400,000 cords, half of
that quantity went through Sherbrooke.

Mr. James McKinnon, general manager of the E.T.
Bank, said it gave him great pleasure to be present
that evening. He took issue with the figures presented
by the chairman in regard to the quantity of pulpwood
shipped to the United States. He had been informed
by a leading railway man in Boston that fully 800,000
cords of pulpwood was shipped’ from Canada. He had
been told by leading business men in the United States
that the Canadians were fools to let so much go out ot
the country. If steps were taken to stop the export of
pulpwood it would mean that American capitalists
would have to come into this country.

PULP NOTES.

A company is being’ formed for the purpose of build-
ing a paper millon the St. Anne river at Raymond,
Que. The new mill will adjoin the pulp mill on the
fine water power at that place now operated by Mc-
Farlane & Evans, of Montreal.

The preliminary surveys for the large pulp and and
paper mills to be built at Fort Frances, Ont., by the

- American Power Company are now being made by

W. L. Bowker, superintendent of construction for A.

sing Sound.

Nood & Company, a New York engineering firm.
Minneapolis capitalists are interested in this project.

The employees of the Royal Paper Company, East
Angus, Que., to the number of 350, went
recently, demanding their wages fortnightly instead of
monthly. They also set forth a grievance against
the superintendent of the mill.

of concrete and brick, and is equipped with the lat-

pulp daily. The total cost was about $150,000.

_It appears. that the English stockholders of the St.
John Sulphite Pulp Company, whose mills are situated
at Mispec, N.B., are determined to withdraw their
capital and close up the business. It is said that local
parties will acquire and operate the mill if satisfactory
terms can be obtained.

The Quatsino Power & Pulp Company, for whom
100 square miles of pulp lands lying between Quatsino
and Broughton Strait, in British Columbia, were re-
served two years ago, are preparing for active opera-
tions. They have already selected their pulp areas,
and are about to let a contract for the erection of a
wharf, saw mill and pulp mill on the narrows of Quat-
It is intended the saw mill shall have a
capacity of 40,000 feet per day, while the pulp mil
will produce about 70 tons daily. The estimated ini-
tial expenditure will run about $130,000. As soon as
the plant is thoroughly under way, and business war-
rants such a step, they purpose erecting a paper mill.
The {company has a total working capital of $500,000

W. A. Bauer has been commissioned by tke Oriental
Pulp & Power Company to survey 22,200 acres of tim-
ber land on the coast of British Columbia, which will
finish all the surveys of the company’s lands and make
the concession from the government complete. Work in
connection with the construction of the pulp and paper
mills at Swanson Bay is progressing steadily. The
location is on the mainland, opposite Princess Royal
Island, and is admirably suited for this purpose. There
is a never failing source of water supply, furnishing
15,000 horse power from Yule Lake. This has been
tested at all times of the year, and that amount of
power is the minimum. The timper to be used is all
located in the vicinity. J. M. Mackinnon, of Vancou-
ver, the local representative of the. Canadian Finance
Syndicate, of London, of which the Oriental Pulp &
Paper Company is a subsidiary organization, states
that $100,000 has already been expended. The ulti-
mate expenditure will be $900,000. The works will
be very large, and the company has already secured
500 acres for a town site surrounding the location.

is not to be wondered at if it found us unequal to cope
with the new conditions, either as regards transporta-
tion, or supplies, or both. The rush is only in its infancy
and it is sincerely to be hopec that the weapons of war
will be laid aside and the ‘‘battle’ as to ‘‘who is to
blame” forgotten, and each party give its attention as
to how best to meet these new conditions. }

Towns, villages and farms are springing up on all

sides ; their first demand is for lumber, and it is their
continued call right along. It is therefore of greatest im-
portance that this industry should be on a thoroughly
equitable basis, in fact it passes from the ranks of im-
portance of ‘‘an industry” into that of “national” -im-
portance. Settlements are stopped, the growth of
towns checked and the whole advancement of the
country jeopardized, where lumber is not readily
obtainable.

for some time past is nowsomewhat subsiding and is be-
ing replaced by a more moderate spirit,and there is ap-
parent, especially on the part of the older and more ex-
perienced men, a manifest disposition to lay hold of the
situation in a resolute and open-minded manner.

That the prevailing conditions in these industries are
anything but satisfactory is an open secret, but to re-
lieve those conditions and establish a basis which will
satisfy the demands of all concerned and be at the
same time conciliatory and just,is a task at once oner-
ous and delicate, requiring a thorough knowledge of all
the varied conditions which have arisen and are the
outcome of the extraordinary growth and expansion of
the Dominion and for which we were as much unpre-
pared as they were unexpected.

The lumber camp, heretofore, has been to a large
extent the great ‘‘ pioneer” of civilization, and others
have followed in its wake, finding lumber in abunbance

and ready to hand. The questions, therefore, which _

are now arising are to a large extent comparatively
new to the situation. The opening up of vast tracts
of prairie lands and the mad rush of the thousands of
pioneer farmers, is a condition which could scarcely

preciated by the lumbermen is without question, and
is clearly evidenced by the activity of the secretaries

of the Lumbermen’s Associations. The importance of
the dealers carrying sufficient stocks to amply meet the
demand of their respective districts has been continu-
ally before the Western Retail Lumbermen’s Associa-
tion, and their Secretary, Mr. Isaac Cockborn, has
left no stone unturned to accomplish this end, and we
believe that never before have the stocks in the dis-
tricts been in such satisfactory shape as they are at the
present moment. This has not been accomplished
without a good deal of hard work; dealers had to be _
approached, and the probable requirements of the
varied districts carefully estimated, correspondence
and transportation difficulties negotiated with the
greatest tact and care; and all this too in such a way ig
as not to unnecessarily increase the existing prices. —
The question of transportation must unquestionably
take precedence as the most serious difficulty, and
upon it to a large extent the whole situation rests.
That it is an ‘honest difficulty”, and not—as many
would have us believe—the outcome of culpible negli-
gence, is freely acknowledged by all who have given it

carefulthought. Itis a difficulty in which lumber does not
stand alone, but which is just as real in other lines. We
can and do give to the C.P.R. the greatest considera-
tion and sympathy, and believe that they are perfectly
frack and honest in their endeavors to meet the situa-
tion. We know that mills have sprung up on every
hand, just as the opportunity arose, and mainly at the
judgment of the lumberman, and of necessity without,
very often, serious consideration being given to the
railroad. For every mill thus started the question be-
comes one, not only of additional transport demand,
but the company are also face to face with the problem
of landing sufficient emply cars at such places to meet
the demand, which may often mean transporting empty
cars several hundred miles in order to collect a cargo,
and we doubt not this accounts for, in great measure,
the apparent heavy freight charges ; with the further
difficulty that cars are often consigned to points where
it is impossible to obtain return cargoes. That these
are real difficulties and not imaginary, must be pal-
pable to all who have had to do with transport arrange-
ments, even in a limited way.

There are other difficulties, such as the make up and
weight of a train, which perhaps/have more to do with
“time” than ‘‘charges”’, and which we merely mention
as being part of the necessary organization. The cause,
however, which has led up to and is responsible for the
present state of things, is without doubt the abnormal
expansion of Manitoba and the Northwest Territories,
an expansion which, there is every reason to anticipate,

_ will not only continue, but increase with still greater

proportions. It is evident, therefore, that in the inter-
ests of the Dominion at large, the present transport
conditions ‘tought’ to receive the immediate atttention

~ necessary for the reliet of present conditions. That it
‘“can’”’ be done is the candid belief of ail well informed
business men. That it ‘‘must” be done is the unanimous
voice of all concerned.

It is not within our province to attempt to run the
transport companies of the Dominion, buc we fail to see
what benefit could possibly accrue by the C.P.R. or
any other transport company entering the field of com-
petition, now already large, in the lumber industries,
when the real question is one of ‘‘delayed” or ‘‘con-
gested’ transport and by no means that of lack of
supply.

Attention has been directed to the Western Retail
Lumbermen’s Association, and exception taken to its
wide-spread influence. It has been established many
years and has been the means of cementing the inter-
ests of the various branches of the lumber trade, ana
it appears to have done an excellent work in raising
the tone and conditions of the industry fromi start to
finish. And, as far as we can gather, could never at
any time be considered as a combine, or for the con-
trolling of price. That it should at the outset have
guarded its membership is not to be wondered at
when due consideration is given tothe fact that, at
that time, the trade looked well like being overrun by
irresponsible men, who were neither good for credit
nor capable at the business, and it became a serious
question to the manufacturer to carry such men over
from season to season, as had to'’be done. Probably

these conditions are not now existent. There is full

evidence of the continual addition to the ranks con-
sequent upon the opening up of new opportunities,

which tend to prove that the Association is well alive
to the present situation.

The question of price always has been, and we sup-
pose always will be, a proposition involving much
peculation, and must inevitably fall back upon the
question of supply and demand, and no power on earth
can prevent an advance in prices when requirements
are exceeding the supplies. In lumber, however, this
is;only the case where bad transport facilities exist.
The supply of lumber at the present time is in abund-
ance, and consequently prices are fluctuating against
sellers. This is a circumstance much to be regretted,
as recent prices do not appear to have been in any
way excessive. The decline has been brought about
more by the undue activity of American competition
than by anything of a legitimate nature.

There seems to be no attempt on the part of Amer-
ican manufacturers to hold prices, and sales are being
effected for manufactured stuff at prices little higher
than Canadian logs, and ina certain instance just re-
cently where competition was invited and the prefer-
ence would have been given to the B.C. mills if pos-
sible, the U. S. prices were such that there remained
no choice, and the cargo was delivered in Winnipeg
having travelled C.P.R. via Sumas, the B.C. mills
finding it impossible to meet prices.

A stronger argument for protection could not pos-
sibly exist, conditions as to freight, etc., being on about
an equal basis.

The C.P.R. have placed some large orders with the
Mountain mills for lumber, particularly in connection
with their maintainence department, which will relieve
the situation somewhat so far as these particular mills
are concerned.

The Red Deer Lumber Company, Limited, which
was incorporated last year, have opened offices in the
Forum block, Main Street, Winnipeg. Their mills at
Barrow have just been completed and put in operation.
They will have a capacity of 1/4 million feet per day.
They have a two band mill and a resaw, and every
detail of machinery and arrangement is of the most
modern style. It is believed to surpass any mill yet
erected in Canada. They are now right down to busi-
ness and expect at no distant date to have some forty
million feet on stock.

NEW BAND RIP SAW.

If any of our readers have ripping to do, the new
machine here shown will prove very interesting. Its
makers claim it will surpass in quality and output any-
thing in this line they are now using, and for ripping
fine lumber it is far in advance of other models of this
character, as it represents an entirely new departure in
band ripping. The manufacturers claim that competi-
tors, recognizing the merits of this machine, are every-
where copying it, but in all cases the ‘‘ copy” is a dis-
mal failure, so that tega! processes are not even neces-
sary. There is no other like it, and it has met with un-
qualified success wherever installed, as attested by
many letters of testimony received from users, who
praise its merits in the highest terms. Copies or these
letters can always be had on demand, as it is the policy
of the makers to prove, as far as possible, any claims
they may make about their;machines.

The-machine was patented February 27th, 1900, and_

October 2nd, 1900. It will do either light or heavy
work, cut short or long pieces, and work either soft or
hard wood, with no possibility of danger to the opera-
tor. Circulars should be sent for in order to grasp all
its features. The thin saw blade will save an amount

TORONTO

of kerf that will be readily appreciated by all workers
of fine lumber, and will ultimately pay for the machine
itself.

The straining device, with knife edge balance, in-
sures at all times an even tension on the saw blade, a
thing so necessary to prolong its life, and still so seldom
found.

The solid lower wheel prevents vibration, receives
increased momentum, and precludes the possibility of

No. « AuroMatic BAND RIP Saw.
overrunning the upper. By a single movement of a
lever convenient to operator, the machine is changed
from a self feed into a hand feed rip saw ; and where
flooring is made in large quantities, is fitted with a long
table on which are rolls for quickly returning the
material. The teed rolls are placed close together, so
that short work can be cut with facility.

The makers, J. A. Fay and Egan Company, Cincin-
nati, Ohio, will willingly furnish further particulars.
To those interested who will write mentioning this
journal, they will send free their new illustrated cata-
logue of wood working machinery.

—It is reported that an Ontario syndicate is about to

manufacture of ties to be used in the construction of
the’ Panama Canal. The promoters, who have been

project.

—The firm of Woods & Spicer, Limited, Van-
couver, B.C., have just extended their main building
110 ft. by 12 ft., and entirely remodelled their dry
kilns, doing away with the hot blast system and_ sub-
stituting the natural draft in exchange. They have
also installed two additional shingle machines, made by
Letson & Burpee, for the manufacture of special
sized shingles. The estimated cost of these improve-
ments is $4,000.

—The firm of Robertson & Hackett, Vancouver,
B.C., have just completed some improvements to their
mill at a cost of $12,000. A new siding has been built
and the shipping platform has been widened 14 feet,
the dimensions now being 36 by 100 feet. All the old
dry kilns and sheds have been removed and replaced
with new ones, the new kilns being constructed of solid
wood, without any air space. The boiler house has
been entirely reconstructed upon fireproof lines, of
brick with iron roof, while all the refuse is now ground
up through a hog grinder and used for the boilers, a
strong element in the fire line being thus eliminated.

—The Taylor Mill Company, of Victoria, manufac
turers of sash, doors, lumber, etc., are doing a very ex-
tensive business throughout the local market. The
mill, built in 1884 and owned by Johnson, Walker &
Flett, passed through many a stormy day until it was
purchased by its present owners in 1891. Under the
able care of Mr. McCarter, the superintendent, the
capacity has been increased to 25,000 feet daily, while
present indications give promise of a still further
increase being necessary in the near future.

—The firm of Lemon, Gonasson and Company, Vic-
toria, are adding extensive additions to their already
large plant. These include a planing mill, already
complete and running, and a large saw mill, the latter
to have a capacity of from 25,000 to 30,000 feet daily.
It is not intended to seek for export trade, as the out-
put wili be used up in supplying material for their large
sash and door factory. The mill site is splendidly
situated on Rock Bay, having a frontage of 34 feet, and
running back for a distance of 120 feet. The machinery
consists of two boilers 66 x 16, engine 16 x 20, and
general saw mill machinery, and was supplied by the
B. R. Seabrooke Machinery Company, a local supply
house. A splendid matcher is being put in by
McGregor, Gourlay & Company, of Galt, Ont.

—The Burrard Inlet Flume and Boom Company have
completed, at a cost of $25,000, their large flume in
the Capilano Valley, immediately west of the Capilano
River. It commences at the upper end of the canyon
on the river somewhere about three-and-a-half miles
from tide water, and extends up the valley for three-
and-a-half miles. It is built out of 134” lumber, and is
shaped with sides 24” deep. The flume will be utilized
to carry timber down and dump it into the river, from
which point it can be easily carried down to tidal
waters and shipped to various points. The company,
under the River and Streams Act of the Provincial
Government, have secured exclusive driving rights on
the Capilano River.

MERITS OF MOULDERS.
Editor CANADA LUMBERMAN;:

Dear S1r,— I wish to ask through the columns of
The LUMBERMAN as to the relative merits between a
roller feed and revolving bed moulder. The one bad
feature with the roller feed is in taking a light cut the
rollers mark the lumber and the stock will not show until
oiled or painted, and inrunning a four sided machine
the feed rollers must be weighted down. What are the
defective points with a revolving bed that they are not
more popular?

Yours respectfully,

opened a branch office at No. 310 Mcintyre Block,
Winnipeg. A resident representative has been
appointed who will be exclusively employed in
advancing the circulation of this Journal and in
keeping our readers informed regarding the latest
developments throughout the West. The kind
co-operation of our friends in the west is solicited
in behalf of the success of this enterprise.

supplying planing mill machinery for Hughes & Com-
pany, Brandon ; Robinson & Company, West Selkirk ;
and G. W. Murray, Winnipeg.

B.C., 25 feet in width and 60 feet in length. Much
new machinery is being installed, including an auto-
matic carrier to carry the lumber from trimming saws
to planer, and a new carriage. He is also building a
new dining room and bunk house for his employees.

The new mill being built for the Rat Portage Lum-
ber Company at Harrison River, B.C., is rapidly
approaching completion. It occupies a site of 26 acres
on the site of the old mill of the Harrison River Milling
and Trading Co. When completed the plant will con-
sist of a saw mill, shingle mill, planing mill, and sash
and door factory. . The saw mill is 308 feet long by 66
wide, with a wing attached 4o x 120 feet. It is to be
equipped entirely with gang and band saws, no circu-
lars being used at all. While it will contain all the
latest specialties, the double cutters it is intended to
install will be entirely different from those used on the
coast or in British Columbia generally, as they will
handle both round timber and cants. The estimated

120,000 feet of lumber and 100,000 shingles per day of
to hours. It is intended that the output shall be in-
creased to 200,000 feet of lumber per day as soon as
trade demands it, there being power enough to enable
the company to effect this increase. The plant will be
lighted entirely by electricity.

For all Sizes and Kinds of SAWS —CIRCULARS, GANG, CYLINDERS, BAND RESAW and BAND SAWS.

BECAUSE The Hanchett Swage is the Best Swage
It Saves the Saw Blade, Files, Time and Labor

By the action of the dies the teeth are drawn out, which not alone refines
the steel, causing the saw to hold a better cutting edge, and prevents crumbling and _ split-

ting of teeth, but at the same time increases life of saw from 20 to 30 per cent.

The Adjustments are perfect, and are quickly and easily made.

SCHAAKE MACHINE WORKS.

The above firm are the only firm in British Columbia
manufacturing a complete equipment of saw and shingle
mill machinery. Their plant, which was only establish-
ed in 1899, is a very extensive one and consists of a
large machine shop, foundry and pattern shop.

They make a leading Specialty of Johnson’s improved
upright shingle machine, which was designed expressly
for the purpose of handling Pacific Coast timber. It is
built with an iron frame and carriage,long bearing and
heavy steel shafting, making it a strong, durable and
reliable machine, avoiding the constant repairing and
adjusting as required on wood frame machines. A
new motion for the movement of the carriage is seen in

this machine, the carriage going with a slow steady
motion towards the saw as the block is being cut, let-
ting the saw work to its best advantage. On the reverse
movement the carriage is driven back at a fast speed for
two-third length ofthe stroke, and on the last end of the
stroke the motion is checked and easedas the set is taking
place, thereby avviding any jerk or jar to the carriage,
and allowing the set to make its stroke with ease, which
always comes to its proper position, insuring a uniform
thickness of shingle. The arbors are made of steel,
2 7-16 in diameter, perfectly true and balanced. The

collars are made in an improved design and shape,
which allows a wide shingle being cut and clears it-
self for the next without splitting or blocking. The
capaacity of the machine is 30,000 to 40,000 shingles

per ten hours. They are being supplied to nearly
every shingle mill in the province.

The company are supplying the entire equipment
of the new plant for the Lemon, Gonasson Company, of
Victoria, B.C., and have so many orders on hand both
for shingle mills and saw mills that they have had to
increase and almost double their plant since organiza-
tion in 1899. Their works and office are located at
New Westminster.

THE TRIUMPH TURBINE

Is the most powerful wheel on the market to-day. A glance at
this cut: of the centre shows that the buckets are designed to
secure the maximum of speed with great power and a free
discharge. Mr. E. S. Edmondson, of Oshawa, writes as fol-
lows under date of November 16th, 1903, regarding a 26 inch
Vertical Triumph Wheel :

“The Wheel is strictly first-class in every particular,
and after a careful and thorough test I am prepared to say
that I believe it is the best wheel in the market for Elec-
trical purposes. It has high speed, large power, high effi-
ciency at part gate, and has practically no leakage. I am
more than pleased with the thorough and workmanlike
setting you gave me throughout.”

For horizontal settings in large Pulp Mills, Cement Mills or Electric Power Develop-
ments this Wheel has no equal. We invite your enquiries. Large catalogue to
be had for the asking.

We are always glad to submit estimates and prices on Improved Vulean and Leffel

Turbines, Improved Lane Circular Saw Mills, Edgers, Trimmers,Slashers,

SAW MILL MACHINERY

This cut illustrates our Double Cutting

Weight Tension Band Mill

It shows the same good quality of
workmanship that has made our ma-
chinery the standard for saw mills.

The top wheel is supported from —
above and guided below, which does
away with all vibration of the wheel.
Besides, sawdust cannot in any way
interfere with the action of the adjust-
ing and tension devices.

Saws can be changed on this mill —
m., quicker than on any other weight ten-
sion mill.

Send for our catalogue giving ‘fall
information.

Along with this Band Mill, every saw-mill should

have our

Improved Steam Setting Machine

It sets up to 4 inches, besides saw kerf, with one
throw of the lever.
By its use, your daily cut can be increased easily “™
3000 feet, and the quality of the lumber greatly improved.
i; May we not send you a copy of our new catalogue

PROMINENT BRITISH COLUMBIA LUMBERMEN.

Mr. J. A. SAYWARD.

Mr. J. A. Sayward, who conducts the large -
- saw-milling business in Victoria, B. C., estab-

lished by his father in 1858, comes of stock
who had to do with lumber. His grandfather

was a shipmaster in Maine, where ships were

built in great numbers,
learned the trade of carpenter.
California in 1849, and after spending two years
at Sacramento, began a lumber busi-
ness in San Francisco. This he con-
tinued until 1858, when the discovery
of gold in Cariboo brought British
He came

and his own father
He went to

north and began the business which
is still being maintained in an enlarged
and improved form.

Mr. Sayward’s (sr.) first mill was
at Mill Bay, in the Shawinigan district
on Vancouver island, which was the
whole of the prevince at that time and
where the settlement was located. The
mill was operated by water power,
‘and twenty-six years ago it was re-
moved to its present site in Victoria
city. A steam plant was at that time
installed, and since then this has been
the motive power. It has been enlarged
and improved until it has a capacity
of 50,000 feet in ten-hours. A sash
and door factory and planing mill, and
also a shingle mill, are included in the
establishment.

Mr. J. A. Sayward, who succeeded
his father as head of the firm, is still
a young mab, not yet 40 years of age.
He has been engaged in the lumbering
business all his lite, and has devoted
his energies entirely to H... Ele. 4S

‘assisted in the handling of the office

work by Mr. Walter Chambers, and
‘an efficient staff is also employed.
‘of the outlook this year, Mr. Sayward says:
‘‘ Trade is fair this year so far. The North-
west business is not quite up to what
might be expected, but we have the prospect of
doing a good line of trade there. In Victoria
city the building is brisk this year and ont local
trade is consequently good. ”

Shipments by sailing vessels and steamers

- form part of the trade done by Mr Sayward,

who has considerable of the local trade, his mill
being the only large one in the city. Shipping

~~ by rail to Manitoba and the Northwest has been
engaged in for the past year or two, the transfer
_ facilities by railway barges to the mainland

offering every advantage enjoyed by mills on
“the direct line of railroad. Mr. C. J. Archibald
represents the firm in the Northwest.
_ The business employs some 150 men in all,
The tug

booms to the mill.

father, and comprise some of the most valuable
timber lands on the Gulf of Georgia islands,
Vancouver island and the Mainland.

DOUBLE-CUT BAND SAWS.
The necessity of competent filers has be-
come more apparent than ever to mill owners

A eT Ta a | ed.

Mr. J. A. SAYWARD, Victoria, B. C.

since the introduction of the double-cut band
saw, writes A. J. Burton, of Vancouver, in
The Wood-Worker. How often we hear of
filers who were very successful in handling
single-cut saws, falling down or making a
complete failure in the attempt to file one of
the large double-cut mills, especially those
that cut the hard yellow pitch pine and the
woolly cottonwood of the Southern States and
the Douglas fir of the Pacific coast.

The reason for this failure is quite ‘clear to
the progressive filer. His experience teaches
that where there is an effect there must be a
cause; he is always ready to learn the opinion
of his brother filers and others with whom he
cumes in touch. These opinions and ideas,
added to his own observations, and adopted
and put in practical use, soon win for him
success and the title of expert or master of
his profession. .

I will try and lay down a few points from
my daily experience while a filer, which never
failed to give the highest results, both as to
quality and quantity of lumber, and the saving
of the lives ot the saws and file room machin-
ery under my care :

My first advice is, do not try to see how
long your saws will run without swaging or
putting them on the bench to see if there is
or if
there be a lump that should be level-
Do not let your grinder go day
after day without looking to see if

need of a little tension here or there,

there is any loose motion in the head
Make a daily prac-
tice of looking over and examining

slides or boxes.

“your machines ; see that they are all
clean ; take up all loose motion. Look
over your band saws on the bench
every second run ; it will only take
twenty minutes or so each time, and
‘<a stitch in time saves nine.” Don’t
forget that your study of little points
will increase your company’s weekly
output ; you will soon become known
to your employer, and the chances of
an increase in your salary will be
greatly enhanced.

The most important points to be
observed and practiced are, keep your
saws perfectly flat, both lengthwise
and crosswise, with perfectly straight
edges ; the latter can be best obtained
by the use of a fine copper wire,say 12
feet long, held parallel with the bot-
toms of the gullets of the teeth for
double-cut saws, as the gullets are ,
always of an even depth if the grind-
ing is properly done, whereas’ the
points of the teeth vary in length ac-
cording to the amount of wear from
sand or other causes after each run.
Using the straight-edge against the teeth will

not give such good results.

A perfectly flat saw, with a light, “even

tension, is more desirable than a saw so full of

tension that it will be almost impossible to
level it. The best results will be obtained from
a double-cut saw if the blade is evenly ten-
sioned throughout as much as will allow it to
lie perfectly flat, with its own weight, upon a
6-foot leveling table. The tension should be
put in with a gauge,of a perfect circle,and with
sufficient amount to give the above results.

Next, use a full swage and use the shaper
only. Do not gauge the teeth every time you ©

~ swage, as this is not necessary to fact cutting

or to smooth timber, but see that the teeth are
at all times straight, and with an even, light
swage. I do not mean a light corner, but a
good, heavy corner, with no more spread than
needed to clear the saw. The lumber will then
be smoother, the saw will stand up better,there
will be Jess wear, and the filer will have less
work.

A MODERN CANADIAN TIMBER LIMIT.*
No name in the lumber industry is better
known than that of J.R. Booth, of Ottawa, or
has a longer or more direct connection With its

would not be complete without Seeing the

as to the condition of the forest and the method
‘of management.

Leaving Ottawa by the Canada Atlantic Rail-
way, and passing through the agricultural coun-
ties of Carleton and Renfrew, ata distance ot
about one hundred miles from the city the coun-
try begins to changeits character. Settlement
becomes more scattered, the ground more rough
and hilly, coniferous trees appear here and there
in clumps, the rampike begins to make itself a
feature of the landscape. From Barry’s Bay to
Aylen Lake the green of the new growth breaks
the hard lines, but for the ten miles from Aylen
Lake to Madawaska there is nothing to relieve
the bareness of the scene. On each side of the
track the forest of rampikes stretches away,
blackened, barren, desolate, yet bearing mute
witness of the noble forest which had occupied
the land before the fires destroyed its beauty
andits riches. These fires are not all caused
directly from the railway, and the management
of the road being controlled by a lumberman,

great care has been exercised both in constr
tion and operation to prevent danger from this
source. But the easy access permitted by means
of the line increases the risk from other direc-
tions, and fires start in proximity to the railway
frequently though as a rule they are kept
sufficiently in check to prevent serious loss. ws
One fire can, however, do damage that a cen-
tury cannot repair. When a fire occurs the —
staff, not only of the lumber camps, but also of
the railway, is called out and everything élse is
subordinated for the time being to the necessity ©
for preventing the spread of the conflagration, ©
A determined fight was required during the dry
months of the spring of the past year to control —
the fires and to prevent the destruction of the —
village of Madawaska. Tae

The Egan Estate Limit, which covers an area _
of 333 square miles, is situated both north and
south of the railway line and on the north
touches the limits of Algonquin Park. Opera-
tions have been carried on by the present pro-
prietor for a period of forty years and, although
the cutting has not been done as severely upon
it as upon some other limits, still it has usually
amounted to eight to ten million feet board ;
measure per annum, but tae resources of this ,
limit will permit of the cutting of a similar |
quanitity for possibly thirty years more. What
the possibilities are after that period has elapsed —

the question.

From west ot M adawaska, which is located
about the centre of the limit, a logging road runs
in a distance of about ten miles to the north,
where operations are now being. carried on.
The district which is being lumbered covers an
area of about six miles, but the forest is as”
nearly pure as can be found anywhere in Canada,
of pine of the best size and quality. The stand
would in parts at least reach 20,000 feet, b.m.,
to the acre, the trees beiag one hundred feet
and upwards in height, while the general diam-
eter of the logs ranges from sixteen to thirty ‘
inches. An examination of the annual rings of
several logs shuwed an age of 120 to 180 years.

balsam and hemlock, none of which have at- ~
tained to a large size. Along the low grounds
the black spruce is found, but nowhere in a
continuous stand and the average diameter
does not exceed eight inches, with a height of
60 to 7o feet. pele i
The compactness of the area on which op-
erations are conducted permits of easy accees
by rail. The trees are felled by sawing. A
notch is cut with an axe on the side to which
the tree is to fall and the saw is used to cut in
from the opposite side. Inch by inch the saw’
eats its way through the great trunk, the top — ae

changed into new forms and to complete more
fully its sphere of usefulness. After the trees
are felled they are cut into logs of proper length
with the saw and those that are of sufficiently
good size.and quality may be made into timber,
square or waney. They are then drawn to the

rollways, to which roads are cut, and from —

which they are carried by sleighs to the railway.

There by steam loaders they are elevated on .

flat cars and transported to their first destina-
tion. The logs will be sawn into boards at the
mill at Ottawa. The timber will be taken to
Coteau and rafted by the St. Tawrence to Que-
bec, where water delivery will be given to ves-
sels supplying the old country market. The
deftness ard skill with which the makers of
square or waney timber can smooth the side of

a log with no other tool than the broadaxe, so _

as to equal the work of the best plane, is be-
yond conception to one who has not seen the
operation. So expert do they become that
one of them was prepared to wager that he
could smooth a log as well with his eyes shut
as with them open. Time did not permit,
however, of putting him to the test.

The cut is-practically a clean one. - All the
pine is ready for the axe and when a tract is
cut over nothing is left but a small and scat-
tered stand of birch, balsam and hemlock.
The land is hilly, the elevations being consid-
erable and in some cases quite abrupt. The
soil is, so far as could be ascertained, light
and stoney, and unfitted for successful agri-
culture. There are a few farms located with-
in the bounds of this limit south of the rail-

way, and for a few years, before the forest

soil is exhausted, the returns seem to indicate
that agriculture might be successfully carried
on, but continued cropping soon demonstrates
that permanently profitable occupation of these
lands for farming purposes is impossible.

At the lumber camps visited the only wood

_ taken out in addition to the pine is the yellow

birch. This is found mainly on the hardwood
ridges cresting the hills, where the coniferous
‘forests change to one of almost pure hard-
woods, comprising yellow birch, maple, elm

and ironwood. Ot these the yellow birch

forms the finest and largest trunks, some logs
reaching thirty inches in diameter, while the
average is sixteen to eighteen inches. These
trees are cut into deals for the British market,
where, it is stated, though no doubt the alle-

- gation is slander, they undergo a transforma-

tion and appear in furniture as cherry or even
‘mahogany.

To return to the question as to the future
possibilities of this limit, it may beset down as
distinctly settled that no such stand of pine as
is now found will be reproduced. A cycle of

_ 120 to 180 years is greater than can be again

allowed. The timber must be grown at a
faster rate and in a shorter period. But short-
ened as it may be it can hardly be much less
than one hundred years to give lumber of
This
is why devastation by fire is so harmful and
why the problem is one that requires early
consideration. That the pine is reproducing
itselt naturally is certain. “To what extent or
how far the process has advanced there was

no opportunity to ascertain, but careful and
thorough studies of selected areas such as
this limit presents should be made, as in no
other way can the necessary data on which to
base methods of permanent management be
obtained. This is a matter that should be
taken up by the government and the lumber-
men in co-operation so that both scientific and
practical knowledge may be brought to bear
upon the question. <As the pine is a mature
and even stand, the method of clean cutting is
the best and only one, but a study of the pro-
cess of reproduction might suggest some mod-
ifiations that would help to this end.

FOREST FIRES.

Forest fires have visited several of the pro-
vinces during the past month. Thousands of
acres in the vicinity of Sydney, Nova Scotia,
have been devastated, the loss reaching about
$200,000. In British Columbia much timber
in the vicinity of Wulffshon Bay and Gordon
Pasha Lake has been burned, and back of
Ladysmith the destruction has been consider-
able. Early in July bush fires were raging in
the Baie des Chaleurs district of Quebec, and
all the buildings surrounding King Bros.’ mills
at Pabos were destroyed, including the resi-
dence of Mr. McNaughton,

picturesque log shanty is here becoming a
thing of the past. Logs are too valuable to
be used whole for this purpose any longer and
the shanty buildings are made of boards
shipped up from the mill at Ottawa. The
bcildings in which the men sleep are well built
and comfortable, are commodious and well
ventilated and the double row of bunks down
either side make very good quarters. The

sonable, or perhaps even unreasonable per

who lived in Ottawa, that she could never
supply things to please her husband after he
came down from the shanty, may therefore
have had some other animating cause than
the contrariness of the male animal in general
when he thinks that he has the opportunity of
making a show of an authority which he does
not really possess.

The typical shantyman is good-natured and
friendly in disposition, ready to give help or

mated that the loss to timber lands and build-
ings in Quebec is $200,000.

In accordance with the established policy of
the Ontario Crown Lands Department regard-
ing the safeguarding of the province from fire,
a regulation has been adopted which will be
inserted in the agreements of all railway com-
panies building railways through the newer
districts of Ontario. The regulations consist
of two clauses, one of which is:

‘‘Tt is hereby agreed that wherever the line
of construction of said railway runs through
lands of the Crown which are not covered by
timber license, and the government deem it
proper for the protection of the forest wealth
adjacent to the line of construction to place on
duty a staff of fire rangers for the protection —
of timber, it shall be at liberty to do so, and
all expenses incurred thereby, whether for or
in respect of men’s wages, or any other ser-
vices, shall be borne and paid by said railway
company.”

The other clause is similarly worded, and
provides for protection of timber under license.
By this means the control of fire protection is
kept in the hand: of the department, which
with its experienced ranging staff, will be able
to look closely after the work and see that
adequate protection is afforded.

THE ELK LUMBER & MANUFACTURING
COMPANY.

The operations of the above company in
British Columbia date from July, 1903, when
the company was organized with a capital
stock of $250,000. The saw mill of the com-
pany is shown in the accompanying illustration.
It is located on the Elk river one-half mile to
the west of Fernie on a section of the company’s
property of 200 acres of crown-grant land.
It is 30x130 feet long and is equipped with cir-
cular, trimmers and the usual saw mill ma-
chinery. The planing mill attached is equip-
ped with two planers manufactured by Cowan
& Company. The capacity is 25,000 feet
per day.

The principal timber manufactured by this

THOS. KIRKPATRICK.

One of the finest shingle manufacturing
plants along the Pacific Coast is that owned by
Thomas Kirkpatrick and situated on the south
side of Burrard Inlet, in the small township of
Hastings, four miles east of Vancouver. The
plant is situated in a large yard occupying 500
feet of the water front and running back to the
main line of the C. P. R. It consists of
two mills, a small one and a large one. The
small mill is 51 feet long by 28 feet broad and
is fitted up with three Dunbar shingle machines
from Woodstock, N.B. Connected with it is a
boiler room 28 x 21% feet equipped with one
engine, one boiler and a dynamo for the supply-
ing of electric light, enabling the owner to run

day and night during the busy season.

Thereis also a bolt room 25 x 23,a dry kiln
70x18 feet, and four sheds.

The large mill, which was only constructed
eighteen months ago, is 32 feet long by 75 feet
broad and is equipped with five shingle ma-
chines, four of which were manufactured by
the local firm of Letson & Burpee. Adjoining it
is the boiler room 48 x 18 feet, equipped with
one Wm. Hamilton boiler, and the engine room
26 x 22 feet, fitted up with one Dunbar eng-
ine. There is also a bolt room 25 x 25 feet,
one dry kiln 100 x 24 feet, and two sheds of 30
x 24 feet and 70 x 30 feet respectively.

The daily capacity of the smali mill is 20,000
shingles and the large one 30,000,makinga total
output of 50,000 shingles a day of ten hours.

Mr. Kirkpatrick also owns a large mill form-
erly owned by R. Welsh at Westminster, the
main building of which is 80 x 28 feet and pos-
sessing a huge dry kiln 87 by 27 feet. It is
equipped with five shingle machines, three
from Shaackes, of New Westminster, and two
from Letson & Burpee, of Vancouver. The
capacity is 125,000 per day, which in conjunction

with the other plant makes a total daily output
of 175,000 shingles.

This vast output, which usually figures outa
about 50,000,000 a year, is marketed mostl
in Ontario, New England States and our North-
west Territories at the rate of one car per day.
To meet the vast demand made upon his mills
Mr. Kirkpatrick lately purchased 3500 acres of
first class red cedar on Jarvis Inlet and
Howe Sound, B. C.

Like many more successful western men Mr.
Kirkpatrick hails from Nova Scotia, coming to
Vancouver in the year 1886. In 1890 he pur-
chased a site at Cedar Cove and erected
shingle mill, which he operated until it is was
burnt out in March, 1902, From the begin
ning his business steadily increased until in 1900
he purchased the mill owned by the late A.
McNair situated at Hastings, this being part
of his present property.

THE LADYSMITH LUMBER COMPANY,
The operations of this company, which start-
ed about two years ago, have been accompan-

ied by a series of energetic developments cul-
minating in making its mills among the largest
and most prosperous to be found along the
coast of British Columbia. Last year, notwith-
standing the burning of their lumber mill on —
June rst, the company shipped east by Decem- ©
ber 31st 6,100,000 feet of lumber, 5,000,000
lath and 5,086,000 shingles. In connection
with the latter shipment, it should be stated
that they only commenced the manufacture of ~
shingles on June 1st, their new Shingle mill be- —
ing opened—fortunately tor the company—on .
the same day they had the misfortune to lose
their lumber mill.

Their lumber mill has been re-opened, its
capacity having been doubled in rebuilding,
but the company, not content with this in-
crease, purpose—provided the Government can
be induced to grant some adequate protection
against our American com petitors—to erect in
the course of the next year another mill with a —
capacity of from 70,000 ‘to 100,000 feet per —
day.

The lumber mill is situated four miles south —

equipped with thoroughly up-to-date machinery
and requisite appliances of a first-class plant,
including planers trom McGregor-Gourlay
Company, of Galt, and engines built by the
Albion Iron Works, Victoria. Among its

specialties is a battery for manufacturing
flooring made and invented in Wellington,
capable of 30,000 flooring a day.

usually associated with the inhabitants of that
province, he being ably assisted in his work by
Mr. William Munsey, president, and Mr. W.

At the present time the coimpany employ 100
hands, but with present prospects fulfilled,
there is every reason to believe that this num-

ber will have to be materially augmented in the

near future.

THE KING LUMBER MILLS.

The lumber industry of British Columbia has
grown very rapidly during the past few years,
this being especially evident in the East
Kootenay district along the line of the Crows
Nest Pass Railroad all the way from Kootenay
Landing to Fernie. Of the many new com-
panies starting operations in that section the
King Lumber Mills, Limited, have shown them-
selves among the most enterprising. The com-
pany was organized in the year
1902 as the King Mercantile Com-
pany of Cranbrook, continuing
under that title until June of this

year, when a charter was obtained
changing the title to the present
one.

The company owns two mills and
a planing mill situated three miles
west of Cranbrook on the Crows
Nest Road. The planing mill lies
right on the track, while the mills
are one half mile and one and one
half miles due north from the rail-
road respectively. All the manufac-
tured lumber is transferred to the
planing mill by a log tramway.

The upper mill, wiich is one and a half miles
from the track, is 35 x 100 feet and is situated
along the shores of a lake which provides a
natural reservoir for the logs. It is equip-
ped with a circular saw and the usual sawmill
machinery and has acapacity of 40,000 feet
per day of ten hours. Driving power is obtained
from one engine of 100 horse power and one
Leonard boiler.

The lower mill is a portable one with a daily
capacity of 25,000 feet.

The planing mill occupies a site of twelve
acres right along side the track, all the lumber
manufactured by the company being piled here
for shipment. It is a two story building 25 by
100 feet and is equipped with four dimension

large mills there. He came to British Colum-
bia in the year 1900, entering the mercantile
business in Cranbrook. However, as his tastes
all lay with the lumber industry, he left this in
1902 tocommence operations withthe company’s
present properties. He is about to commence

the building of a large mill at Yahk with a
capacity of 40,000 feet per day.

THE CLOVERDALE MILLING COMPANY.

The above firm commenced operations
in August, 1900, running the mill for one year
and then selling out to the leading stockholder,
Mr. W. E. Laking, the present owner, an ex-
perienced lumberman hailing from Ontario.
The mill is situated on the Great Northern Rail-
way at Cloverdale in the Westminster district,
and possesses splended facilities for trans-
portation by rail. It is given over entirely to
the manufacture of cedar shingles, which
are so excellent in quality as to command a
sale for almost the entire output in Ontario.
Quite a goodly number too are sold in lowa,
Nebraska, Wyoming, Utah and other middle
west states. :

The main building is 80 feet long and 40 feet
broad and is equipped with two shingle ma-

The principal timber cut by this firm is
tamarac, which constitutes 60 per cent. of the
output, fir following with thirty per cent. and
white pine with ten percent. All the logs cut
are obtained from the company’s own limits,

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN

PETITION OF THE LOGGERS OF BRITISH
COLUMBIA.

The loggers of British Columbia who. have

petitioned the Government for the repeal of
- the act prohibiting the exportation of logs

have prepared the following statement of the

conditions governing the logging industry:

A petition addressed to the Government of
British Columbia is now being circulated pray-
ing that the embargo on logs be removed and
that free access to the markets of the United
States be allowed the loggers of British
Columbia. In support of that petition it is
proposed here to set forth as briefly and con-
cisely as possible the present condition. of the
logging industry and its relation to the general
welfare of the whole people.

It is a fact, and freely admitted, that the
logging industry is to-day in very bad shape.
The market is limited and the price of the
rougher grade of logs is below the cost of
production ; further, owing to the lessened
demand for rough lumber and common build-
ing material it is now almost impossible to sell
rough or merchantable logs on the Coast of

a British Columbia at a profit. Particularly does
this apply to cedar, as there are to-day mil-
lions of feet of cedar logs lying in the water at
and near Vancouver for which no demand can
be found. A large percentage of these cedar
logs belong to the mills and are not being cut
up simply because there is no market for lum-
ber of this grade.

Such being the facts, it can easily be under-
stood how almost impossible it is to sell to
them a grade of logs that they ‘are already

- overstocked with.

The question naturally arises: Why were.
logs in such demand eighteen months ago and
what has caused this heavy slump? There
are a number of causes, one perhaps being the
excessive output of logs last year when prices
ranged much higher and demand was good,
but the principal and most important one is
the large increase in the number of mills
throughout the Kootenays. There is now in-
vested in the lumber business there no less
than $5,000,000 and the number and capacity
of these mills is still growing. Many of the
larger mills, equalling in equipment and capa-
city the mills of the Coast, have operated for
the first time this summer.

Logs can be delivered at these mills at from
$1.00 to $1.50 per M. cheaper than on the
Coast, wages are as low if not lower, and they
have a less freight rate of about $4.80 per

Tah thousand on rough lumber shipped to the
_-—-—sC(North-West Territories. This practically gives
7 the market for rough and common lumber into
ae the hands ot our countrymen in Kootenay and
Og is largely responsible for the lack of demand
a for rough and merchantable logs here. It
Es) must be remembered in this connection that
a their timber is mostly small and rough and

that tor this reason the Coast still has the bulk
of the trade for finished material, such as floor-
ing, stepping, siding, mouldings, etc.

Such being the case, the Coast logger must
find another and larger market for his product

_ oF cease to operate.
It is useless to theorize or talk cheap senti-

ment, the facts are as given above, we must
have a further market or suspend operations.

What effect has the present situation on the
people of British Columbia ?

First, let us look at it from the loggers’
standpoint : He is losing money, he is seeing
the hard earned accumulations of years of toil
slip through his bands despite his best efforts,
with a certainty, if no relief is forthcoming, of
going insolvent ; ‘‘ going broke”’ it is called,
and going broke he is. The merchant, whole-
sale or retail, in whatever line he may be, is
to-day feeling very keenly the depression in
the logging business, camp accounts are not
being met, money is scarce, and the whole city
feels the stagnation in this most important in-

dustry. Workingmen are idle in Vancouver
by hundreds, with every possibility of their
number increasing, wages are necessarily

lower, and employment hard to get.

Some of the mills are holding millions of
feet of rough logs that they will not cut and if
permitted would gladly turn them into cash by
towing them across to the American side. The
Government of British Columbia is losing a
large amount of stumpage owing to the fact
that the rougher class of timber is at present
left in the woods there to rot or burn up.

One-third of the cost. of logging is incurred
in putting in skid roads and this rougher tim-
ber could be taken out if there was any demand
for it, but the majority of the loggers to-day
are forced to leave it in the woods, where it
must inevitably go to waste, a complete loss to
the country and to the logger, who is unable
to get the profit he would obtain under an
open market on this class of timber ; and
besides he is unable to use his skid roads and
other necessary improvements to the fullest

extent, thus losing a considerable portion’ of

the returns he should receive for his outlay in
road building, etc., which is, as shown, a
heavy item of the expense necessary to procure
logs, as all practical loggers and woodsmen
know. In all common sense why not sell this
timber to the Americans? They have an un-
limited market, can saw and sell timber that is
worth nothing to us and will be worthless for
many years. The logger will profit, for it will
allow him to log and sell his entire limit and
The
workingman will have employment all the year
at good wages. The tug owners and all their
employees will be busier than ever before.
Vancouver and the whole Coast of British
Columbia will at once feel the effect of the
good American money put into circulation
here.

give him a larger and steadier market.

We are told that we must protect the mills
of this country by not allowing the export of
logs. Now, in common sense what benefit is
it to the mills to keep logs in British Columbia
that they don’t want and cannot cut and find a
market for ; they have tried hard to have a
duty put on lumber but without effect, they
simply say they will not bid on a boom of
rough logs as they do not want them.

This being the case, and it is the case, as
anyone familiar with present conditions knows,
why not sell to the United States at a profit
what we cannot use at home.

There is also another phase of the question

——
r
>

that has not been touched upon hereto-.
fore and it is this: The average ‘cost of logs
delivered at Vancouver or similar points is
$5.00 per M., paid out for supplies, wages
and towing, all going into the pockets of
white men and freely circulated through the
community. The. cost of sawing these logs —
into rough lumber is approximately $1.75 to
$1.85 per M., if cut in a modern and well
equipped mill. Of this amount at least 5c per |
cent. goes to pay for Chinese, Japanese and
similar labor who are of little value to this
country, if indeed not a menace to our entire
social system, leaving proportionately 85 to
go cents per M. in payment to white labour —
and for supplies. We are asked to sacrifice a
$5.00 industry to protect a go cent one, and
further I think that it has been clearly shown ~
that the go cent industry rather than suffering —
by export will really benefit.
We have no quarrel with the millmen on | .
this question ; we only ask the Government of _
this country for common fair play outside of a if
combine. If the mills here cannot buy our
logs at a living price then let us sell to those —
who will ; that is all we ask, and is it too
much? But says a critic, ‘‘we hear that the
United States camps are shutting down, that
there is an overproduction of logs in the State
of Washington, how can you sell your logs —
there when the United States logger cannot,
and you with the disadvantage of a 50 cent :
greater tow.” Just briefly we will put that
question to rights. On the American side
stumpage is $1.00 to $2.50 per M., here 50
cents, an advantage of from 50 cents to $2.00
per M., also we can log a great deal cheaper
owing to the greater amount of virgin terri- el
tory and the shorter haul. In other words, a :
we have vastly more timber than the State of
Washington and it is closer to the water.

ks

Also the loggers of the Sound, being wise in
their day and generation, have formed a very
strong association and sell their logs at a
stated price according to the grade ; if the
market is overstocked they shut down their
camps until it has righted itself, but still hold
up the price. ; 5

And right here it may be said that - the
British Columbia Loggers’ Association is to be
an institution of strength and a support to the
logger at all times it must be reorganized on a
new and stronger basis. When the need’ for
action arises, as at the present time, it requires
a long period of depression to bring them
together with a united front. Something on
the same lines as our Yankee friends have
formed is required, modified and changed per-
haps in minor details to suit the different con-
ditions existing here. : : Se

To continue, however : Those who are for.
tunate enough to hold Crown granted land in
British Columbia secured subsequent to 1887 __
are now exporting their logs to the United —
States, and it is common knowledge that the
price nets them from $1.00 to $1.50 more than
the same grade here, the strong point being, —
however, the possession of a larger and
steadier market, and their scale is 15 per cent. _
better than we get in British Columbia. a

Another reason for cutting the timber and —
converting it into cash instead of saving it for

wn ins

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN i

——>

future generations of Japs and Chinese to work
up in the sawmills, is that as most people are
aware there is in say a period of ten years
more timber in the forest consumed or de-
‘stroyed by fire than there is cut down and con-
verted into logs in a similar period, so that
delay in getting out the timber and turning it
into cash is destroying the chances of getting
a considerable portion of it hereafter. Besides,
we are naturally more interested in the living
present than in fifty years hence, and when
that time does come or perhaps much sooner
the use of timber may be greatly curtailed if
not done away with almost altogether, for in
this era of invention and progress we find that
iron, steel, and other substitutes are now used
where formerly lumber was used altogether.
It seeme strange to think how our friends, the
mill men, keep on telling the people and the
Government that there is not much timber in
the country and that it export of logs is allowed
there will soon be nothing left for the mills
here to saw. And they have told this so often
and so persistently that some of them seem
to half believe it themselves, whilst the facts
are there is more timber in this province than
the mills here will saw up in the next 300
years.

There is, it is said, more timber on Van-
couver Island alone than the Coast mills of
British Columbia would saw up in the next
fifty years. There is plenty of timber here for
‘this generation and there will b2 plenty for the
next.

The old saying ‘‘ where there is enough,
take enough, and where there’s little take all,”
may have some vulnerable points, but there is
lots of horse sense in it when applied to some-
thing like standing timber, which is liable to
rot, burn, or depreciate in other ways.

Besides, it is foolish to get jealous because
our Yankee cousins get our logs and give us in
return their gold. Their money is what we
want; this is bringing in capital and is better
for the community than selling to people here,
for selling to each other is like taking money
out of one pocket and putting it into another
as far as benefitting the public is concerned.

These are straighc tacts which will appeal to
sensible people. We believe the rescinding of
this Order-in-Council will have the immediate
effect of putting life in the logging business,
will double the value of our timber lands, will
double the Government receipts for royalty and
licenses, will give us all new hope and added
energy.

This is not only of moment to us, it con-
cerns every man, woman, and child on the
Coast of British Columbia. We want your
help, sign the petition, get your neighbour to
sign it, help us, tell our city members that we
mean business, and impress upon the Govern-
ment of this Province the fact that we want
legislation not for the few but for the many.

All of which is respectfully submitted on
behalf of

Vancouver, B.C., June 25th, 1904.

MANITOBA AND NORTHWEST LETTER.
Office of the CANADA LUMBERMAN,
McIntyre Block, WINNIPEG, July 19th, 1904.
There are indications on all sides of great activity in
the’ lumber business. Building operations are going
ahead with unprecedented expansion, and as the de-
mand for small property is greatly to the front, and
mostly wooden houses, the impetus given to the lumber
trade is.very marked. This, however, in itself does
not always mean that an industry so affected is of
necessity ina financially flourishing condition and in
this instance, although the volume of trade being done
is eminently satistactory, generally speaking, there is a
good deal of dissatisfaction and the dealer especially is
finding it difficult to show profit on his trading.

The previous season was a specially good one, and
this year opened up with most dealers carrying an ex-
tra heavy stock in prospect of active demand, and in
many cases more than they themselves considered ad-
visable, but they were influenced by the zeal and
anxiety emanating from the transportation companies.
These stocks are mostly held at last year’s prices,
which it was expected would maintain right through
the present season. As this has not been the case,
however, dealers are face . to face with a somewhat
serious if not embarrassing situation. In the more out-
lying districts in the Territorities the situation is per-
haps more distinctly marked, on account of the opposi-
tion being more keenly felt, as we learn that carloads
of lumber have come across the border consigned by
American firms direct to consumers. The representative
of these firms finding it impossible to get orders from
the local dealers, did not hesitate to canvas the con-
sumer, in order to make his journey pay expenses, and,
as if this in itself were not enough, going so far as to
sell at an even lower rate than was ruling ‘‘wholeésale”
on this side, thus bringing prices down to an almost
impossible basis. It can therefore be easily seen that
under existing conditions, although the bulk of trade is
in every way satisfactory, the financial side presents a
serious aspect, and many dealers will do well if they
close the season’s trade without a heavy loss, the ques-
tion of profit being a remote possibility.

To the wholesale manufacturer the conditions are
somewhat different or at least more modified. The
keen point which competition has reached places him
in a position to draw his supply of logs across the bor-
der to advantage, and so show a good average of pro-
fit. The disparity in price has peen ruling at about
two dollars per thousand, a difference which is of so
serious a nature that the British Columbia mills cannot
see their way to attempt to meet it ; in many instances
they are offered the prices asked by United States
firms but up to the present have refused to entertain
business. We understand that already some of the
mills are making their arrangements for short work,
their present available stocks not warranting full run-
ning for next season.

Reports which have recently reached us from the
States are of rather a more assuring character. There
are indications of a revival in demand on that side and
better prices are not altogether unexpected ; on some
grades quotations are already firmer. Should this
prove to be general the situation will be somewhat
relieved, but at the present moment, what with heavy
stocks and impossible prices, the position calls for care-
ful consideration.

The effect to British Columbia promises to be most

serious, as the prospects for the fisheries are not re-
ported as of the best, and with its two staple industries
failing in one and the same season, the outlook must be
indeed bad. Last year the fisheries were almost a
total failure, but the lumber business was good and
therefore came in to save the situation.
. The Sprague Lumber Company, of Winnipeg, have
just installed a new saw mill of the latest American
horizontal type. It is expected to be in operation
within a few days and will be the first to be worked in
Canada. The capacity of this mill will be upwards of
100,000 feet per day. They have also put in a com-
plete plant for electric light.

The British Columbia Mills, Timber and Trading
Company, Limited, of Vancouver, have secured an at-
tractive location on the grounds of the Dominion Ex-
hibition which is to be held at Winnipeg from July 25th
to August 6th, upon which they are erecting a large

platform and there displaying five houses, built on their
patented method with a lock joint,and factory-made on
a special sectional principle. The houses they are
showing are made of British Columbia lumber through-
out, were constructed at their factory and sent forward
ready for erection. This exhibit looks like being one
one of the great attractions of the Exhibition.

LUMBER TRADE OPPORTUNITIES.
PIT PROPS AND MINING TIMBER.

Mr. J. B. Jackson, Canadian Commercial Agent for
Leeds and Hull, England, writes as follows concerning pit
props and mining timber ;

‘¢ To show the extent of the business that may be done in
pit props and mining timber in the mining districts, I have
an inquiry from one colliery alone, who require for the cur-
rent year as follows :—

Pit props, 500,000 from 5 ft. to 7 ft. long, but principally
6 ft. and not less than 6 in. diameter at the small end.

Pine timber, 7 in. to 8 in. square in £5 ft. to 30 ft. lengths; "
70,000 cubic feet.

Pitch pine, 12 in. square,long lengths ; 20,000 cubic feet.

Oak in logs, about 12 in. square ; 5,000 cubic feet.

Railway sleepers, 9 ft. x 10 1n. x 5 in. 3 3,000.

Pine deals, battens and boards ; 150 standards.

This colliery company and others desire to be put in com-
munication with sellers of the above classes of timber in
Canada.”

SAW MILL MACHINERY CATALOGUES WANTED.

Mr. D. H. Ross, Melbourne, Commercial Agent for
Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia and Tasmania,
Aus., writes :

‘“ A practical saw-mill manager left here last week for
London and, from there, proceeds to Canada to secure im-
proved machinery for some mills in which he is interested in
New Zealand. He has been supplied with the names and
addresses of some Canadian manufacturers and will person-
ally select his requirements. This machinery will be erected
in one of tne principal lumber centres, and should prove to
b2 a gocd advertisement to the makers. As intimated in
previous reports, 1t would be to the undoubted advantage of
Canadian manufacturers of saw mill machinery if they would
distribute their catalogues and export price lists broadcast
throughout the Commonwealth to mill proprietors.”

WOODEN PAVING BLOCKS.

Mr. P. B. McNamara, Commercial Agent at Manchester,
Eng. :

‘* Many of the streets of Manchester are paved with
wooden blocks of Australian wood, called Karri, of dimen-
sion gin. x 5in. x 3in. planed and trued. The ast order
given by the corporation was for 260,000 blocks, to a firm
in Liverpool, and the minimum price paid was £12 Ios. to
413 per thousand blocks f.o.b. Manchester. The wood is
cut into blocks of the required dimensions in Australia, and
shipped to Liverpool ready for use on streets. The wood
resembles in weight and textility our Canadian iron wood,
and as that is principally used for firewood, it proves ex-
pensive fuel, if it could be placed here for street paving at
prices given above. The ocean freight rates are also in
favour of Canada, as the wood can be shipped direct to
Manchester by the ship canal from Montreal in summer,
and from St. John or Halifax in winter.”

RAILWAY TIES.

Mr. A. Poindron, Commercial Agent at Paris, France,
writes as follows :

Dimensions of the railway ties mostly in demand in
France are the following :

Ist. 8 ft. 103 inches long by 856 inches wide by 5%
inches deep for square ties.

2nd. 8 ft. 103 inches long by 117% inches by 6 inches for
half round or sided railway ties.
Duty rate is 1.50 fc. (about 29 cents) per 100 kilos (Ibs.
220).

Present price, f.o.b. on cars, Havre station, duty paid,
is about 3.50 fes. each (nearly 67 cents).

The Adirondack fires of a year ago are discussed in a
paper by Mr. H.-M. Suter, of the U.S. Bureau of Forestry.
Those fires, asting from April 20 to June 8, burned over
600,000 acres of timber land, and caused a direct loss of ©
$3,500,000 sterling. About $175,000 was spent in fighting
them, and they were finally extinguished only by heavy

rains. Their effect on several industries was severe.

ADVERTISING RATES ON APPLICATION.

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN is published in the interests of the
lumber, wood-working and allied industries, being the only
representative in Canada of these important interests, It aims
at giving full and timely information on all subjects touching
these interests, and invites free discussion by its readers.

Especial pains are taken to secure for publication in the
WEEKLY LUMBERMAN the latest and most trustworthy market
quotations throughout the world, so as to afford to the trade at
home and abroad information on which it can rely in its
operations. Subscribers will find the small amount they pay
for the CANADA LUMBERMAN quite insignificant as compared
with its value tothem. There is not an individual in the trade,
or specially interested in it, who should not be on our list, thus
obtaining the present benefit and aiding and encouraging us to
render it even more complete. : ,

Advertisers will receive careful attention and liberal treat-

“ment. For manufacturing and supply firms wishing to bring

their goods to the attention of owners and operators of saw
and planing mills, wood-working factories, pulp mulls, ete,
the CANADA LUMBERMAN is undoubtedly the cheapest an
most profitable advertising medium. Special attention is
directed. to ‘“WANTED” and “ For SALE” advertisements, which
are inserted in a conspicuous position on front page of the
Weekly Edition.

OVER-PRODUCTION AND PRICE-CUT TING.
If the lumber manufacturer could always fol-
low his inclinations, it is probable that there
would be less cause for complaint on the ground
Unfortunately, he is not
always fully in control of his business, and must

_ sometimes operate his logging camp and his
mill whether or not he can see a profit in doing

so. Nevertheless, the evils of over-production
have at different periods been strikingly brought
before Canadian lumbermen and every effort
should be made to minimize as far as_ possible
the probability of such a condition arising.
The present demoralized condition of the lum-
ber industry in British Columbia is due in part
to over-production, although the unfavorable
tariff laws have also contributed largely to
that end.

At this season of the year preparations are
being madefor work in the woods, and we
strongly advise the adoption of a conservative
policy on the part of all operators. We do not
anticipate that there will be a falling off in the
quantity of Canadian lumber required for home
consumption and for export, but it is the part
of wisdom to so regulate the output, if such is
possible, as to prevent a decline in the market
price even if the demand should prove dis-

_ appointing. One of the most certain ways to ac-

complish this end is to curtail logging opera-

tions. These remarks are especially applicable

to the spruce territory, where present condi-
tions from a price standpoint are somewhat
demoralized. The decline of from $2 to $3 per
thousand feet which has taken place has practi-
cally left the manufacturer’s profit a nonentity,
and it is therefore very necessary that the com-
ing season’s work in the woods should be
planned with extreme caution. We would
suggest that the lumbermen of Quebec, New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia form an associa-
tion with the object of making an arrangement

whereby the maximum production will not ex-

ceed the probable consumption. This policy
has been adopted by the Swedish and Finish
mill owners with some success.

Price-cutting is another source ‘of demorali-
zation to the lumber trade. Uniform prices are
a sure indication of healthy conditions and
inspire a feeling of confidence in buyers. The
person who requires lumber is always willing to
buy at the market price if he can be assured
that the basis will be steadily maintained and
that his competitor will rot be given an ad-
vantage over him. When price-cutting is in-
dulged in the reverse is the case.

Under ordinary circumstances price-cutting
below the average selling value provides but a
temporary increase of business. A lumber
salesman may succeed in selling a block of
stock by giving exceptional inducements, but
upon his next visit the customer so favored will
in all probability demand a further reduction
from the previous cut price and refuse to buy
if a concession is not granted. He has become
imbued with the idea that the undertone of the
market is weak, and is therefore doubly cau-
tious in making purchases. Had the cut price

never been granted he would be a more willing

buyer.

THE DEMAND FOR AN IMPORT DUTY.

The agitation for an import duty on lumber
coming into Canada is now more pronounced
and widespread than perhaps at any previous
time in the history of the trade. In every
province of the Dominion, with the exception
of Manitoba and the Territories, the justice of
the demand of the Canadian manufacturers is
recognized. There is likewise a greater prob-
ability that the lumber trade will be accorded
the protection which has been asked. A depu-
tation of the
Ontario recently interviewed Hon. W. S.
Fielding, Minister of Finance, on the subject,
and while no definite promise was made, they
were given sotne reason to expect that the
conditions would be remedied in the near
future.

At this time the tables of imports and ex-
ports of forest products published on another
page are peculiarly interesting, showing as
they do that the question of an import duty on
lumber is a much more important subject than
is generally believed. Taking the month ,of
May for comparison, the imports of forest pro-
ducts into Canada, according to the unrevised
monthly statements issued by the Department
of Trade and Commerce, were valued at
$625,382, while the exports of forest products
from Canada in the same month were
$1,062,054, or less than double that of the im-
ports. While we are not disposed to accept
the figures as absolutely correct, the Depart-
ment itself not making such claim, they at
least reflect in a measure the relation which
the imnports bear to the exports, and refute the
statement which is sometimes made that our
lumber imports are insignificant in volume.
The figures for the previous two months show
the value of forest products imported to be still
nearer that of the exports.

The lumber trade have asked for and expect
an import duty. Until such duty becomes law,
the ‘‘ dumping clause ”’ embodied in the recent

oak
SS" te | &» 4+ *

Pee > et a ee on ee

Lumbermen’s Association of

N | i haus: ie

tariff introduced by the Minister of Finance
should in some way be made applicable to lum-
ber, notwithstanding that it is not designed to
apply to free goods. This clause provides
that when any imported article is sold in
Canada below the market value for home con-
sumption in the country of export, there shall
be levied thereon in Canada, in addition to the
ordinary duty established by the Canadian
tariff, a special duty equal to the difference
between the selling price and the fair market
value for home consumption, provided, how-
ever, that such special duty shall not exceed
one-half the ordinary duty provided by the
tariff. It is well known that large quantities
of United States lumber have been sold
throughout the Canadian North-West below
the actual selling price of such lumber in the
United States, and the dumping clause should
be at once enforced to prevent Canada from
being any longer made the slaughter ground
for United States manutacturers.

It is estimated that ninety percent. of the im-
ported lumber has come intu Canada free of
duty, as the Customs Tariff in the case of lum-
ber sized one side and one edge has been vio-
lated by United States manufacturers, who, to
avoid paying duty on it, first plane their dimen-
sion lumber on one side and then pass it over
a fine-toothed rip saw to size it on the edge,
while the Dominion Customs Tariff distinctly
provides that an ad valorem duty shall be
levied on all lumber when further manutactured
than dressed on one side. As a result of re-
presentations made to Ottawa, we understand
that the Government have notified the customs
officers to collect duty in future on all dimen-
sion lumber planed on one side and edged by
fine-toothed saws as above mentioned}

As showing that the lumber manufacturers
of Canada have not been getting undue prices,
it is pointed out that very few mills have been
dividend payers, whereas a considerable num-
ber of persons who have embarked in the busi-
ness have experienced failure. It is not the
purpose of the trade, however, to advance lum-

ber prices as the outcome of an import duty, ©

but rather to create a market for the output of
the mills, many of which as conditions now
exist can be operated only for a short period in
the year.
shingle manufacturers of British Columbia,

tection afforded by a duty.

INCREASED CONSUMPTION OF LOW GRADE
: PINE.

An interesting feature in the lumber trade of
the past year has been the heavy demand for
all grades of white pine below common. The
manufacturers in both Canada and the United
States have experienced no difficulty whatever
in disposing of all the lower grades, while the
upper grades have not shown corresponding
strength and were the first to recede in price

_ when market conditions became a little unfav-

orable about six months ago. Coincident with
the strong demand for low grade pine came an
increased consumption of hemlock for building
purposes. It would seem, therefore,that there

the poorer quality, this probably being the
outcome of the prosperous conditions existing
in the country districts and of the general
ymmercial prosperity as reflected in an int:
creased demand for boxes for the shipment of

There is little indication at the present that

he Union Pacific, Great Northern and
lorthern Pacific Railroads have decided not to
rant the extension of the 4o cent fir rate
ito the Missouri Valley as requested by the
acific Coast Lumbermen’s Association. The
efusal of this concession is a sore disappoint-
ent to the lumbermen of the Coast states, as
would have undoubtedly been of material
ssistance in reducing some of the immense
xcks of the lower grades they haye accum-
ated. The lumbermen of British Columbia
ill regret to hear of the decision arrived at by
the railway magnates, as they hoped to gain
lief from the ruinous competition they have

CONCATENATIONS.
A successful concatenation was held in
Orilllia on Friday evening, June 24th, when
thirty-one kittens were introduced to the kind-
ly light of Hoo-Hoo. This was the first gath-
ering of Hoo-Hoo in Northern Ontario. The
lumber trade was represented by an attendance
of seventy-five members from many towns and
cities in various parts of the province. The old
members of the order are always interested in
seeing that the candidates are well and properly
concatenated and that no detail in the ceremony
of initiation is overlooked. There was no com-
plaint made at Orillia on that score—certainly
not from the kittens. The local committee had
arranged for the continuous entertainment of
the visitors and the programme was thoroughly
enjoyed. Early in the evening the party enjoyed
a sail on Lake Couchiching on the steamer
Longford.

The new kittens after their initiation were
honored by an elaborate banquet at the Orillia
House. The menu was printed on thin boards
and each was decorated with a boquet plucked
from the onion bed. There was nota dull
moment and all expressed their appreciation of
the kind entertainment in Orillia, and congratu-
lated the Orillia committee on the thorough
success of this meeting.

A concatenation will be held in Winnipeg
during exhibition week, the exact date of which
had not been announced at time of going to
press. Mr. J. S. Spencer, care of the Clarendon
Hotel, Winnipeg, has been appointed Scrive-
noter and is receiving applications from can-
ditates. A large class is likely to be initiated,
as it will probably be the last initiation of the
season in the district. The Vicegerent Snark
of the Western District is G. B. Housser, of
Portage la Prairie.

ENQUIRY FOR HOO-HOO MEMBER.

The Supreme Scrivenoter of Hoo-Hoo, J. H.
Baird, of Nashville, Tenn., is very anxious to
learn the present address of Mr. Howard Ben-
ton, Hoo-Hoo No. 1736, formerly of Washburn,
Wis. The Scrivenoter has some very import-
ant mail for this man. Mr. Benton is 30 years
old, is 6 feet tall, weighs 185 pounds, has iron
gray hair and brown eyes, is well educated and
of good appearance. He was county judge at
Washburn for eight years.

BURNING OF THE HOUSE OF HOO-HOO.
All Canadian lumberman, and members of

- the mysterious order in particular, learned with |

regret of the burning of the House of Hoo-Hoo
at the World’s Fair, St. Louis, on Friday
morning, June 24, just after the magniticent
building had been completed. The loss was

about $60,000. It was one of the most unique

buildings and the only club-house on the
grounds and was admirably adapted for the
purpose for which it was designed.

The building was partially insured, and the
Executive Committee held a meeting only a few
hours after its destruction, and after careful
consideration of the situation, and encouraged
by many letters and telegrams proffering aid
for rebuilding, they decided upon the recon-

‘struction of the building within the shortest

possible space of time. The contract was
awarded on June 27th and active work under it
was started the following day. Dedication
ceremonies were announced for. Monday, July
25th, but the Executive Committee afterwards
found that the new building was so tar advanced
that it could be dedicated on the afternoon of
July 23rd. A large number participated in the
ceremony and onallsides were heard expres-
sions of satisfaction that the building had been
so quickly rebuilt and that so little inconvenience
had resulted through the burning of the origi-
nal structure.

Supreme Scriventor J. H. Baird, Nashville,
Tenn., is very anxious to make a good show-
ing at the St. Louis annual meeting in the
matter of paid up dues. There are now nearly
two thousand members of Hoo-Hoo still owing
dues for the year ending September 9, 1904,
and this notwithstanding the fact jthat two
form al notices have been sent out from the
Scrivenotor’s office. The constitution requires
that a man shall be sent three formal notices
before he is suspended, but no good Hoo-Hoo
should wait to have that much postage ex-
pended on him. Every member who has not
paid 1904 dues should send in the amount
at once and not wait until he goes to the
annual meeting. The Scrivenoter will have
all he can do at the annua! meeting without
having to handle any dues. Everybody will
be in a rush and everybody’s time will be very
much occupied—do not add to the confusion
by going to the Scrivenoter’s private office at
the official headquarters and buttonholing him
while you try to pay 99 cents out of a twenty
dollar bill. Of course, the Scrivenoter will
cheerfully accept your money at the annual
meeting if you cannot possibly make shift to
pay him sooner, but you will add greatly to
his comfort and smooth matters generally by
sending in your 99 cents right away. You
need not trouble to buy a post-office order or
send currency by registered mail—your per-
sonal check will be good enough. Any form
ot remittance goes except stamps that are
stuck together. He draws the line at that.

ONE WAY OF ESTIMATING TIMBER.

There are several methods of estimating the
amount of standing timber on a given tract,
and the following which is in use in states that
have been ranged and sectionized, is as good
as any:

Three hundred and thirty feet, which is one-
fourth the distance along one side of a square
containing forty acres, is called a ‘‘tally.”” This
is equal to 125 paces of a good walker with a

good pair of legs, or about 140 paces of an
ordinary walker. The estimator, called timber
cruiser in sothe parts, is accompanied by a
compass man, who ought to be an experienced
woodman. Assuming that a quarter section is

to be estimated, and that it is convenient to

begin work at the southeast corner, the
estimator calls to the compass man, ‘‘ Go
west.” The compass man, starting from the

corner, goes west 125 steps, more or less,
according to the known Jength of his step,
halts and calls out,‘‘ One tally west.” The
estimator calls, ‘‘ Go north,” and the compass
man goes north the requisite number of steps
and calls, ‘‘ One tally north.” The estimator

on either side of the compass man’s line to an
estimated distance of 125 steps in each direct-
ion. He then estimates for each important
species the number of merchantable logs to
the tree, the average number of logs to the
1,000 board measure feet, and the total number

To aid in doing this he counts, perhaps several
times a day, all the merchantable trees on
average acres or quarter acres, stepping off
and blazing a line around the acres and count-
ing all the trees inside the lines, or he will

TEXTILES FROM WOOD PULP.
Artificial silk made from pulp is now a staple

on the market, and the demand is greater than ¢

the supply, according to the statements of those

who are engaged in the business.
We are now to have an extension of the field

of the pulp maker, and by means of recent dis-
coveries and improvements practically the
whole range of textile work is opened to him
as a market for the disposal of his raw material.
Recently the Paper Trade Journal gave a some-
what lengthy notice of a book writen by Pro-
fessor Pfuhl, of Riga, Russia, in which that
writer reviews the work that has been done in
the way of making wood pulp available for
textile work. He gave it as his opinion that
Kron had outstripped his fellow workers in
the same field and had made progress sufficient
to demonstrate practically that the yarn for
any kind of textile could be spun directly from
moist wood pulp, an advantage which was
not possessed by the methods of other inven-

tors. It is claimed that by Kron’s method

there is produced not only a stronger yarn but
that the cost of production is less and that the
output is greater.

AUSTRALIA WANTS CANADIAN PULP.

In a report to the Department of Trade and
Commerce, Ottawa, Mr. D. H. Ross, Canadian
Commercial Agent at Melbourne, Australia,
says :

‘‘ Samples forwarded to this office by Cana-
dian manufacturers of pulp have been submitted
to the local paper mills, but I regret to report
that nothing suitable for local requirements
has, so far, been received. The local mills re-
quire sulphite (not mechanical) pulp, in un-
bleached and bleached sheets, packed in bales
weighing about 3% cwts. The unbleached
pulp is used in the manufacture of brown wrap-
ping paper, which industry is protected by a
customs duty of 43 (say $14.60) per ton. The
bleached pulp is required for strong cartridge
papers, etc.

“The Melbourne Paper Mills use local

materials in making a substitute for cheap

ulp, which answers for ‘filling’ purposes. It
is essential to make a dry pulp, equaling in
quality that now received from Norway and
Germany, in order to obtain a footing in this
market. An experimental shipment of Cana-
dian pulp came forward to this city some years
ago, but owing to its dampness, the contents
of the bails—especially in the centre of the
packag es—was rotten when it arrived.

‘‘ The landed cost of the last shipment from
Norway,on Melbourne Wharf, was as follows :
Unbleached pulp, £10 (say $48.66) ; bleached
pulp, 411 ($53.53), per ton of 2,240 Ibs. The
landed cost, of course, fluctuates according to
the market, and the freights obtainable at time

of shipment. The manager of the local mills
expresses a desire to obtain his supplies from
Canada, and it is to be hoped that an effort will
be made to secure the orders offering. If suit-
able dry pulp can be produced by Canadian
makers, it is probable that the authorities will
waive the present customs regulation which re-
quires the sheets to be perferated in order to
allow the line to land duty free.

‘« By this mail I am forwarding fresh samples
of continental pulp to the Department of Trade
and Commerce. The Melbourne Paper Mills
will import from 1,000 to 2,000 tons of dry
pulp this year, and it may be stated that there
are larger mills in an adjoining state.”

THE CANADIAN PULP PRODUCTION.

Mr. George Johnson, Dominion Statistician,
furnishes the. following particulars of the pulp
production in 1903 :

The wood pulp industry of Canada for the
calendar year 1903 was carried on by 39 mills
which had an output of 275,619 tons of wood
pulp. Of this quantity, 187,871 tons were
mechanical pulp, 84,808 sulphite and 2,940
soda.
were:

The corresponding quantities for 1902
Mechanical, 155,210 tons; sulphite,
76,735 tons, and soda, 9,044 tons. This
shows an increase of 34,630 tons in 1903. The
Sulphite, 8,073; me-
chanical ,32,661 tons; soda showing a decrease
of 6,104 tons. The total value of the output
of 1903 was $5,219,842. There are several
large mills in course of construction, or which,
being finished, did not operate during the year
1903. Two or three firms have gone out of
business or manufacture only paper where
before they made pulp.

increase is distributed :

Nine of the thirty-nine mills manufacture
sulphite pulp and three soda pulp. Twenty-
seven manufacture mechanical pulp and five
make both chemical and mechanical. Taking
the returns of thirty-nine mills, the average
time the mills ran during the year was nearly
nine months. The value of the production
was $5,219,892, the amount exported $3,013,-
441, leaving $2,206,451 for home use. Ina
general way, therefore, we export about 57
per cent. of our production. Of the $3,013,-
441 worth exported by Canada in 1903, Great
Britain tok $865,826, the United States $1,-
890,448, and other countries $248,167.

NEW SULPHUROUS ACID PROCESS.

A aew process for making the acid used in
sulphite mills has been patented by Paul Drew-
sen, of New York, and John Parent, of Shaw-
ano, Wis., and for some time past has been in
practical operation at the mill of the Wolt
River Paper and Fibre Company, Shawano,
Wis., U.S.A., in which Mr. Parent is engaged.
The process is so simple and does away with

so much expense in first cost and subsequent
maintenance, that competent sulphite men who
have examined it say it will simply revolutionize
present acid-making methods. The apparatus
consists simply of a wooden box of size suit-
able for the amount of acid to be made, pro-
vided on the bottom at frequent intervals with
agitators. The milk of lime enters the box at
one end, and the sulphur gases at the other.
The agitators make between 400 and 500 re-
volutions, and produce a very violent commo-
tion in the liquid, throwing it up against the
top of the box and offering a great absorbtion
surtace for the gases to reach. From five to
ten minutes’ treatment is all that is required,
and the acid flows in a continuous stream out
of the box. The process is in every way con-
tinuous and automatic. When the machinery
stops, the flow of liquor stops, and no milk of
lime can run into the acid. There is also no
chance for the settling of lime and monosulphite
of lime. There are no pressure or vacuum
pumps, no large tanks, very little power, and
no expensive help. A company known as the
Drewson-Parent Construction Company has
been formed to exploit the new invention.

are the chief stockholders.

English capitalists

Thomas McCormick has succeeded C. W. Rantoul
as manager of the Imperial Paper Mills Company at
Sturgeon Falls, Ont., and it is understood that the ex-
tension of the mills will be proceeded with.

The Jenckes Machine Co., of Sherbrooke, Que.,
have acquired the sole right to manufacture for the
Canadian market the screwless screen plate holder,
invented by the Blaisdell Screen Plate Co., of Oakland,
Maine.

In connection with the recent charges of William Price
against the Quebec Legislature and the Chicoutimi

Pulp Company, it is reported that the latter has taken _

an action in the Superior Court against Mr. Price for
$25,000 for alleged damages.

It is stated that the St. Raymond Pulp Company, of
which Mr. Macfarlane of Montreal is one of the prin-
cipal promotors, are about to construct new pulp and
paper mills at St. Raymond costing $150,000, for
which preliminary surveys have already been made.

Several of the Clergue industries at Sault Ste. Marie,

Ont., have resumed operations under the re-organized ~

company. The pulp mill is one of these, and it is said
that there is a good demand for the output. The drying
plant is not likely to be started, as experiments in that
direction by the old company were not a success.

English capitalists will probably build the La Tuque
branch of the Quebec and Lake St. John Railway,
which has recently been subsidized by a land grant of
4,000 acres per mile by the Provincial Government.
This road will, if built, be an important factor in the
development of the pulp and lumber industry of the St.
Marice district.

J. H. Wallace, hydraulic engineer and pulp mill ex-
pert, of New York, has been at Fort Frances, Ont.,
recently, making surveys for the power development
and pulp and paper mills to be constructed at that
place by the Backus syndicate. The plans call for
pulp and paper mills on both sides of the river, the pulp
mill to have a capacity of 125 tons daily, to be increas-
ed to 175 tons. The work of construction will be under
the supervision of W. L. Bowker. ,

dimensions. I cut the long pieces to desired

soft wood at both ends so it will be easy to

SUGGESTIONS FOR THE PREVENTION
OF ACCIDENTS.

A journal published in the interest of casualty
insurance makes some practical suggestions,
both to employers and employees, which, if
adopted, would certainly lessen the awful list
of casualties to life and limb czused by machin-
ery in motion:

All belts passing through floors, or vertical
shafting operating through floors, should be
cased in to the height of at least 4 feet. See
that belts do not have ragged places and that
the lacing or hooking is O. K.

Shafting beneath machine tables and all other
shafting operating on or near floor should be
covered.

Loose pulleys should be used wherever pos-
sible, so as to throw a saw, jointer, shaper or
other piece of machinery out of motion when
not necessarily in use,and employees should be
instructed to throw out of motion such machine
when leaving same even temporarily.

Shifters should be used at all times for shift-
ing belts, and no employee should be allowed
to shift a belt with his hands or stick. Belts
should be laced and adjusted when machinery
is not in motion.

All flywheels of engines and belt wheels

_ should be inclosed by casing in or placing sub-

stantial railings around them, either of wood or

VWrood-Worker

and: retainer

gas pipe. The latter is preferable and more
substantial.

All bearings and other parts of machinery
should be oiled and cleaned when not in motion,
and no minor under sixteen years of age should
be allowed to oil or clean machinery, or to sew
or assist in sewing belts.

Low water alarm columns on boilers should
be frequently tested to ascertain whether in
good working order.

Setscrews in collars and couplings on line
and counter-shatting should be covered, or,

’ preferably,countersunk,so that the head of the

screw shall not project above the surface of the
shaft. Setkeys in hubs of fly or other wheels
should be cut off flush with end of shaft or cov-
ered with tin casing or cther materials fitting
closely to shaft, forming a‘smooth surface.
All cog gearing should be completely cased
in, casing to be so constructed that it can be
easily removed when necessary to repair or oil;
casing should be made of wood or metal.

A BACKWOODS LATHE.
The illustration herewith, taken from the

American Machinist,shows what a correspond-

ent calls a backwoods lathe. It was built by an
couple of Wisconsin pioneers—one a handy man
with carpenter’s tools, the other a blacksmith—
some fifty years ago. The balance wheel was
simply a round box filled with stones. The
tools were made from old mill files. With this
lathe they made about 400 feet of well-drill rods
in one winter. ;

SOMETHING ABOUT DRY KILNS.

The practice of kiln-drying lumber has become
well-nigh universal. People in this fast age
cannot await the old fashioned slow process of
air-dryinglumber,and no mill of any great capa-
city either in the pine or the hardwood section
is considered complete without dry-kiln facili-
ties equal at least to about one-fourth or one-

third its capacity. While kiln-drying of lum-
ber is the common practice, yet opinions as to
its effect upon the strength and other qualities
of the material are very much divided, and there
are still many who prefer air-dried lumber.
Nor is opinion unanimous as to the best man-
net of constructing dry kilns and the best pro-
cess of drying. The process most widely used
is the method of forcing air heated to as high
as 180 degrees Fahrenheit through the dry
This pro-
cess has also come in for the largest share of
criticism. There are many who insist that sub-
jecting lumber or timber for many hours to a
temperatue of 150 to 180 degrees F. “‘kills” it,
by which term they mean in a general way
that the bending and breaking strength and
resistance to compression is lessened. Experi-
ments made by United States government
experts go to show that this objection is not
well founded. The many contradictory claims
about closing the pores of the wood by long
subjection to a high temperature, and its chemi=
cal effects upon the sap and its constituent parts,
as, albumen, gum, resin, sugar, etc., are not
substantiated by the government tests.
Neither are the claims of increased checking,
wraping, ‘‘case hardening,” ‘‘honeycombing”’
and many others. Well-constructed kilns of
the blower type, where the hot air is driven in
at the discharging end of the drying room and ~
out at the receiving end, are giving entire sat-
isfaction. But it stands to reason that too high
heat and too rapid drying of lumber is not the
best. Nature’s process of drying anything is a
slow one, and nature does most things well,
and it is advisable always to follow her plans
as nearly as time will allow and convenience
will permit.

house by means of fans or blowers.

The best class of dry kilns s:ems to be those
in which the piping is amply sufficient to insure
a uniform heat,not to exceed 180 degrees, in all
parts of the kilns, with a steady and moderate
circulation of the air among the material. For .
timbers of large size kilns of this type are most
generally preterred. All the standard dry kilns
now on the market possess individual and pe-
culiar advantages and the selection of one is
largely a matter of individual preference and
experience and special requirements., —

There is one class of dry kiln employed insome
localities in which a temperature of more than
300 degrees F.is used under a pressure as high
as 150 pounds, and it is claimed that such treat-
ment results in increase of strength, durability,
and absence of shrinkage. Teste made by the
government do not appear to bear out these
claims. Kilns of this type must needs be costly

patented September 18th, 1900, and October 30th;
1900, and attention is invited to some of its most impor-
tant points :

1. The great saving in kerf jby using a thin blade, an
important item when cutting fine lumber.

2. Solid lower wheel, increasing speed, lessening the
circulation of dust, and preventing the upper wheel
{rom overrunning it. Upper wheel having its spokeS
placed in staggering position, giving it increased
solidity.

The feed consists of six large rolls, geared at both
ends and fitted with parallel lift. The rolls are either
solid or divided as ordered.

The top and bottom cylinders are of crucible steel,
four-sided, lipped and slotted and belted at both ends.
As they are alike in detail, they are interchangeable.
The journals are long and large in diameter. The boxes
are yoked both in front and behind the cut, insuring
perfect alignment. They are easily adjusted and rigidly
clamped. The pressure is perfect, and the parts are
so arranged that they permit of the knives taking in an

HOYT’S NEW FIVE HEADED PLANER
AND MATCHER.

The accompanying engraving illustrates a late im-
proved five-headed planer and matcher of the New
Series type, built by the Hoyt & Brother Company
Branch of the American Wood Working Machinery
Company, at Aurora, Ill. The main feature of this
machine is that it has two lower cylinders. The first
one is placed im front of the top head, making the
roughing cut, while the second lower cylinder is placed
in the rear of the machine, for producing an extra fine
finish when running flooring face downward. It is built
in various sizes, working from 9 to 30 inches in width,
and § to 12 inches thick. It will match from two inches
to the full width of machine and dress as thin as

exceptionally heavy cut. The pressure bar on under
head is carefully designed, and while simple, yet is
positive.

The lower cylinder is placed in front of the upper
cylinder. It can be quickly and easily drawn out from
the side of the machine, and is adjusted not only from
the side, but also from the feeding-in end of the machine
while it is in motion, to bring the cut of the knife on a
line with the rear pressure bar. The front lower cylin-
der bar, together with the lower feed roll, is so arrang-
ed that by operating a lever at the front of the machine,
the cut of the under head may be changed as desired
without altering the finished thickness of the material
or disturbing the cutter head, and any amount of stock
can be removed up to % inch.

The gearing is strong, positive and powerful. All
gears of equal size are interchangeable and can be re-
versed, the hubs being alike on both sides. All gears
and pinions are mounted on shafts which run in babbit-
ted boxes.

The matcher spindles have long bearings and are
large in diameter. They are adjusted independently
and can be clamped pertectly rigid.

The top chip breaker can be adjusted to within %
inch of the cutting circle, and remains in this relation
even when the cylinder is taking aay cut desired up to
3% inch.

There are four rates of feed, 40, 50, 60 and 80 feet
per minute, or the manufacturers can furnish any rate
desired up to 120 feet per minute.

CRAIG MINE CRYSTAL CORUNDUM WHEELS

Our Pure Crystal Corundum Saw Gummers have
no equal for their rapid, cool, cutting properties.

Read the following from Bulletin 180 of the United States Geological Survey, which says : :

“‘Often a distinction is made between emery and corundum, many persons not recognizing emery as a variety of
corundum. ‘ ' '

Emery is a mechanical admixture ot corundum and magnetite or hematite. It is, of course, the presence
of corundum in the emery that gives to it its abrasive qualities and makes it of commercial value, and the abrasive
efficiency of emeries varies according to the percentage of corundum they contain.” :

Emery is imported, mined by Greeks and Turks and contains only about 2 5%
corundum, Our Crystal Corundum is guaranteed to be 98% pure alumina, a Can-
adian product, mined and manufactured by Canadians for Canadians. e

NEW LOCATION.

The wholesale hardwood firm of McBean &
Verrall are now located in their new office built
by themselves at the foot of Bathurst street,
Toronto. The building is of substantial con-
struction, finished in quarter-cut oak, with
hardwood floors, hot water heating and other
modern equipment, and the location and accom-
modation provided are such as to enable them
to handle their growing business most conven-
iently. In their yard, adjacent to the office,
they have in stock upwards of one million feet
of hardwoods in all thicknesses, including
mahogany, cherry, oak, chestnut, maple, birch
and ash. They make a specialty of rock elm
and hard maple, and on account of the large
stock carried, they are always in a position to
supply lumber thoroughly seasoned. Mr.
John A. McBean gives his sole attention to the
purchase of stock, while the selling end of the
business is looked after by Mr. Fred T. Verrall.

TRADE NOTES. :

The British Columbia Marine Railway Company are

announced to have acquired by lease the plant of the
Albion Iron Works at Victoria, B.C. ‘eer

The Ashland Emery & Corundum Company, incor- ‘

porated under the laws of the State of New Jersey, —

has been authorized to carry on business, in Ontario.

John W. Hennigar, whose saw mill at Noel, N.S.,
was destroyed by fire recently, is rebuilding, and has
ordered a new mill from the Oxford Foundry & Machine
Company, of Oxford, N.S. sae a.

The annual picnic of the employees of the Dodge —
Manufacturing Company, Toronto, was held at Bond
Lake on Saturday, July 9, when an interesting pro-
gramme of sports and music was enjoyed. xs

The Hanchett Swage Works, Big Rapids, Mich.,
have recently placed upon the market a swage shaper.
which is said to be remarkable for its simplicity of con-
struction, perfect adjustment, great speed of operation,
and the excellent work which it is capable of doing. ©

Your boilers are the source of your power. They
determine in a very large measure your output and —
your profits. {[f they do not generate sufficient steam,
your machines lag, you are compelled to shut down
occasionally, your men stand idle, your output suffers
and your profits rapidly dwindle. Your mill is produc-
tive only when in operation. Many of your expenses
continue all the time, whether your mill is running or
idle. Not so your profits. They increase only when
your mill is running, and stop when your mill shuts
down, whether for a season, for the night, or only for
an hour. Not only do your profits come to a standstill
when you are compelled to shut down for say half an ——
hour to wait for steam to rise, but your expenses are at
their maximum, as, in addition to your fixed expenses,
such as taxes, insurance, depreciation, salaries, etc.,
every man on your pay roll is drawing full pay. For
this reason, shutting down to wait for steam to rise is
very expensive, your profits coming to a standstill, and
your expenses remaining at their maximum. Those so
situated would do well to install the Gordon Hollow —
Blast Grate, which insures a full head of steam regard-_
less of the weather. In addition, it permits wet, green
or frozen sawdust and other refractory refuse to be
used as fuel, giving as good results with them as a
draft grate gives with dry wood. Those interested
should write the Gordon Hollow Blast Grate Company,
Greenville, Michigan, for their Catalogue D.

dust heap is so unsightly, and takes up room, while its
formation represents considerable labor, on the part of men
and teams. It often happens that, while the refuse is being
carried to the dump heap, saleable wood is being used to
fire the boilers.

Now, it seems a self-evident proposition that in a case of
this kind a grate that would consume the sawdust under the
boilers, and save the aforesaid wood, permitting it to be
sold, would be an excellent investment. It would save the
expense of hauling the sawdust away, reduce the risk of
fire, probably reduce the insurance rate, and render it
possible to sell, often at a good figure, the wood that is
now being used to run the mill.

We suggest that those interested in this subject take the
matter up with the Gordon Hollow Blast Grate Company,

AUGUST, 1904

of Greenville, Michigan, manufacturers of the celebrated
Gordon Hollow Blast Grate, which runs a mill with its
sawdust and other refuse, even though wet, green or frozen.
The grate is sold on approval, thirty days being given in
which to thoroughly test it.

Is the most powerful wheel on the market to-day. .A glance at
this cut of the centre shows that the buckets are designed to
secure the maximum of speed with great power and a free
discharge. Mr. E. S. Edmondson, of Oshawa, writes as fol-

lows under date of November 16th, 1903, regarding a 26 inch
Vertical Triumph Wheel :

‘The Wheel is strictly first-class in every particular,
and after a careful and thorough test I am prepared to say
that I believe it is the best wheel in the market for Elec-
trical purposes. It has high speed, large power, high effi-
ciency at part gate, and has practically no leakage. I am
more than pleased with the thorough and workmanlike
setting you gave me throughout.”

For horizontal settings in large Pulp Mills, Cement Mills or Electric Power Develop-
ments this Wheel has no equal. We invite your enquiries. Large catalogue to
be had for the asking.

you require more set, file the tooth with more bevel.

If you follow directions you cannot make a mistake. Be sure and not

in the hope of a decline in prices, which
has not yet materialized.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Lumber manufacturers in the Eastern
Provinces are not anticipating much im-
provement in market conditions this year.
The usual lethargy attendant upon the
summer season is in effect, and shipments
to the Eastern States have fallen off.
Prices of lumber for that market are a
little easier. Very few shipments to Great
Britain will be made during the balance of
the season. The manufacturers in both
New Brunswick and Nova Scotia have
agreed to hold over their lumber rather
than sell it at the prevailing low prices. It
is recognized that a curtailment of logging
operations would be very beneficial in re-
storing healthy conditions, and this policy
is likely to be adopted by all the larger
The St. John River out-
put is likely to be reduced 50,000,000 feet,
and a corresponding curtailment is antici-
pated in other districts.

manufacturers.

UNITED STATES.

The white pine trade has been unsettled
by sensational reports of damage to the
wheat crop by unfavorable weather and
by rust, the prediction being made that
the combined winter and spring wheat
yield would not exceed 500,000,000 bush-
els. Aside from the injury to wheat, how-
ever, the indications are that there will be
an abundant harvest, as a very heavy
crop of corn is promised, and what is
equally as important, high prices are be-
ing obtained for nearly all farm products.
There is not likely to be much activity in
the market until after the presidential
election, with the exception, of course, of
that which is due to stocking up for fall
and winter requirements. Pine lumber
prices are about steady, with manufactur-
ers feeling confident that the entire stock
will be required. It is claimed that the
stocks that will be left in the docks to
carry over this year will be so small com-
pared with former years, that the manu-
facturers will prefer to carry them over
until next spring rather than sell at lower
prices. Spruce lumber is slightly weaker,
some random stock having been sold in
the Boston market as low as $16 by the
car. Hemlock is strongly held, and hard-
woods are showing better tone. Plain

sawed oak, ash, elm and birch are good
sellers, The
shingle market is in fairly good shape,
prices now being low enough to warrant
laying in a winter supply.

while basswood is slow.

GREAT BRITAIN.

The reports that come to hand from
Great Britain contain very little on which
to base anticipation of
provement in the lumber market.

an early im-
The
general trade of the country is in an un-
satisfactory condition, as shown by the
falling off in both imports and exports.
Money is also tight, brought about no
doubt by the large expenditure for the
South African war. Lumber imports from
most of the countries have this year been
light, but the deficiency has been more
than made good by the supplies from
Russia, where shippers have been forced
to realize on their stocks. The absence
of demand for deals for export to South
Africa has increased the depression in the
lumber trade, broad sizes which in an
ordinary year would have been shipped to
that country having been forced upon un-
willing British buyers. The demand for
pine deals is very light and the poorer
qualities are most difficult to place. Que-
bec pine deals, however, are not likely to
recede much further, as they are largely
in the hands of persons who are financially
able to hold them. The spruce market is,
if anything, lower than last week. A car_
go from Shediac, N.B., is reported to have
been sold a fortnight ago at £5 15s per
standard c.i.f., which is the lowest point
reached this year. At the late auction sales
spruce prices showed no improvement,
3.x 11 inch second and third quality bring-
ing £8 128 6d and £7 5s respectively for
Quebec shipments. Buyers are holding
off in the expectation that there will be
large consignments in the fall. Should
this not prove to be the case, a recovery
in prices may be expected.

STOCKS AND PRICES.
The corporation drive of logs on the St.
John river has reached the booms at
Fredericton, N.B.

Such general improvement has taken
place in the lumber trade on the Coast
that the Pacific Coast Lumber Manufac-
turers’ Association, at its meeting held

July 29, advanced the price $1 on all fir
products. This action was the unanimous
vote of all the members present. The ad-
vance is the first change that has taken
place in the association list since Feb. 5,
when a new list was adopted.

The Dalhousie Lumber Company, of
Dalhousie, N. B., and Hilyard Bros., of
St. John, N. B., have agreed to curtail
their logging operations the coming winter
by fifty per cent.

A sale of standing pine on Indian lands
in the Pigeon river, Fon du Lac, Bois
Fortes, Mississippi river, Leech lake and
Winnibigoshish will take
place November 15th next at the land
offices at Duluth, Minn. There will be
offered 116,000 acres, estimated by the
Government to contain 211,000,000 feet of
white and norway pine. No bids for
white pine will be received at less than $5
a thousand feet, and $4 for norway.

reservations

Messrs. S. P. Musson, Son & Company,
under date of August 13th, furnish the fol-
lowing report of the Barbadoes lumber
market: ‘‘There has not been any arrivals
during the fortnight and the position of
the lumber market remains virtually un-
changed, as the consumption at this sea~
son is very limited. Small cargoes of
both white pine and spruce would probably
be worth in the neighborhood of $26 to
$19 respectively, while for large lots prices
would be lower. The market for shingles
remains as last advised, there being no
further arrivals to report, and stocks “of

duced, fair prices will be obtained for next

THE RAINY RIVER LUMBER COMPANY.
The Rainy River Lumber Company, Limited,

composed of American capitalists, have recently

ith capers hehe: a RIE

- diameter and 172 feet high ;

_ surfacer ; 5 matchers ; 2 moulding machines ;

completed what is doubtless one of the most
modern saw aid planing mill plants in America.
The location is at Rainy River, Ont., a divis-
ional point on the Canadian Northern Railway,
155 miles east of Winnipeg. The construction
of the mill was commenced in October, 1903,
and finished May ist last, operations being
commenced ten days later.

The main saw mill building, shown on fol-
lowing page, is 220x62 feet; the lath and
shingle mill 120 x 32 feet ; the filing room 46
x 32 feet. The main equipment of the saw mill
consists of two large double cutting band mills,
one 52-inch gang and two mammoth edgers,
each fed by two men.

The saw mill power house is 76x 54 feet;

saw ; 54 inch band resaw ; one cut-off saw ;
one timber planer, capable of handling tim-
ber 24 inches square.

The power house for the planing millis 54 x
46 feet, and is equipped with a 20x 42 Corliss

. engine and a battery of two boilers 72 inches

by 18 feet, with automatic feeds. The smoke
stack is 172 feet high, and the burner 22 feet
by 120 feet.

The capacity of the saw mill is 500,000 feet
in twenty-four hours, and of. the planing mill
and shipping department 400;000 feet.

The company have a very complete lighting
system,the saw mill being lighted by a 50 k.w.
direct connected generator driven by a 12x 12
Ideal engine, and the planing mill by a 30 k.w.
belted generator and a 10x12 Ideal engine.

Shipping facilities are provided by two spare
tracks leading from the main line of the Cana-

FROM TREE TO CAR.

From the tree to the car loaded with lumber
is not a very far cry generally, if measured in
miles and compared with the distance the car
of lumber travels in getting to the consumer,
but there is plenty of rocm between the tree
and the car, says the St. Louis Lumberman,
to make or mar the success of the mill man,
especially when lumber prices get close enough
to make the margin of profit small. When
that time comes it is a question of who can
cover the distance from tree to car at the
smallest cost per thousand feet. Did you ever
go over the ground carefully, step by step, as
it is covered by mill men in every-day practice,
and try to figure out where and how a saving
in cost “could be effected? If you have you
have probably noticed that the average mill
man puts most of his saving grace, so far as

equipped with one 32 x 48 Corliss engine and
a battery of six boilers 72 inches by 18 feet,
complete with Dutch ovens and automatic
feeders. The smoke stack is go inches in
the refuse burner
32 feet in diameter and 120 feet high. At the
rear of the mill there is a timber dock 100 feet
long.

The sorting shed is 320 feet long, with
accommodation for 162 lumber cars along its
sides, and soo cars are used in the transporta-
tion of lumber from the sorting shed to the
yard and from the yard to the planing mill.
The yard is equipped with a complete trackage
system, covering 17.4 track miles. There are
two tracks in each piling alley, and one track
in the rear of each alley for the purpose of
hauling dry lumber to the planing mill.

The planing mill is 140x72 feet and is
equipped with the following machines : 32 inch
-double- sizer ; 30 inch double sizer and

dian Northern Railway, one to the timber
loading dock and the other to the dry-shed,
loading platform and planing mill. A new
drying shed 62 x 270 feet is now nearing com-
pletion.

The piling ground is of sueitient area to
accommodate a vast quantity of lumber and is
most conveniently laid out.

The company own a sufficient quantity of
standing timber to keep their mill in operation
for twenty years. The officers of the company

polis ; vice-president, W. F. Brooks, Minnea-

Rainy River, Ont.; managing director, James
A. Mathieu, Rainy River, Ont.

The saw mill and veneer plant of the Lake Superior
Company at Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., are again to re-
sume operations. One thousand men are advertised
for to get out saw logs and pulp wood.

reducing cost is concerned, on some particular
step in the process.

One will make a specialty of good cross-cut
saws and good men to use them, and follow it
up so thoroughly and persistently that he will
reduce the cost of converting a tree into logs
toa point far below the average. Another
man will give special attention to teams, and
the team class of economical mill men is both
large and important, some of the most success-
ful mill men having worked out their success
almost entirely from being thorough teamsters,
pastmasters in the art of keeping up teams
and getting the most work out of them.
Others take to the railway and mechanical
appliances for handling logs, and then there is
another, and a large class at that, of mill men
who devote by far the larger portion of their
economical energy to the manufacturing end,
letting nothing pass by that gives promise of
reducing the cost of converting logs into lum-
ber. Of course, there are those who combine

all of these to an extent, men who look closely

been tried along this line, for from a theoretical
standpoint it looks like there are some possi-
bilities in it, and maybe if we get started to
talking and thinking about it something will
be developed.

to garner ideas from the leading specialists in
the different steps and combine them.

An idea that has had amore or less checkered
career in connection with logging operations
and still refuses to stay out of the game entirely
is the traction engine. A case in point is fur-
nished by A. P. Wylie, a cooperage stock
manufacturer of Belle Center, Ohio, who
recently bought timber in Tennessee and has
equipped a plant down there. He has an 18
horse-power engine that was successfully used
up in Ohio for hauling staves to the railroad,
pulling a carload of staves ata trip on four
wagons. Now he has taken this engine down
to his Tennessee plant and proposes to haul
logs with it with a confidence of getting good
service from it during the summer season,
when the roads are comparatively free from
And he will likely do just as well as he
figures with it, for he knows his business thor-
oughly in every detail and is well enough
acquainted with this engine as a road machine
from his past experience with it, to have a
pretty well defined idea of what it will do.
Then the question is, will the traction engine
in its improved state hecome anything of a
factor in southern logging? Its record in the
past does not speak so well for it in that
territory ; it has been used quite extensively

experiments with it in one form and another,
usually terminating in putting the engine under

some other machinery. But maybe when it
gets its second wind and we goat it with a
wider knowledge and better engines the out-
come will be differert, and maybe it-wont. It
looks like the modern idea in this line should
turn to something in the form of an automobile

The railroad for transportation and the me-
chanical log loader make the best combination
to be had where the timber belt is sufficiently
heavy to justify the outlay, and it is only a
question of modern ideas and appliances in
carrying out the details of the work under such
conditions, but there are other conditions, and
there comes the rub. We have come to the
point where available heavy belts of timber are
not so plentiful and must now turn quite ex-
tensively to the small tracts scattered here and
there that do not justify railroad building.

there for cutting rough stock for concentration
at the planing mill or finishing plant. Some
mill men have followed this plan more or less
in the past, but we are coming to a point where ~
we will be confronted with this scattered tim-
ber problem so generally it is not a matter of
mere incident here and there; it is a big
problem, covering a wide field, and the ques-
tion is, which direction shall we take in the
effort to solve it ; shall we turn to the portable
mill or seek improvements in logging methods?
If it is logging methods it means mechanics in
some form or other.

To leave the log road for a while and get
into the mill, there is a seasonable topic for
discussion in the matter of house cleaning, the”
use of those twin implements of cleanliness and
safety, the broom and the whitewash. brush.
Their value as an asset may not show up in
figures on your books, but they do not draw
heavily on the expense account, and they
actually give more returns for the time and
money expended than any other appliances
about the place. The ghost of spontaneous
combustion that begins to haunt the mill man
as soon as the hot, dry weather comes along
can be laid with the broom and buried with the
whitewash brush till his chances for a walk in
the night are slim enough to make rest easy
at night and insurance rates lower. The real
facts in the case of most mysterious fires are
that the majority of them originate from sparks
falling in the dust about the mill and yard,
where fire smolders along unseen until it
reaches a point or object to induce flame, and
then it gets into action at a lively rate. This
fact has been demonstrated time and time
again, not only on the point of unobtrusive
smoldering in the dust, but also in the matter

With timber of this class it becomes a question
of small mills and the hauling of rough lumber

some improved method of logging, and it will
unquestionably be more satisfactory if a method
of logging can be developed that will permit
the latter. If it can not be done the saw mill

THE FERNIE LUMBER COMPANY.

The accompanying illustration shows the
saw mill of the Fernie Lumber Company,
Limited. The company was organized by Mr.
McDougall and Mr. L. M. Proctor in the year
1900, operations commencing by the purchase
of the mill and limits of W. B. McClain and
John McDonald*at Fernie, the present mill
being merely an enlargement and improvement
of the one purchased. The company’s entire
plant consists of a saw mill, planing mill and
lath mill, occupying with the yard and piling
grounds a site of fifty acres, out of the 113
acres owned by the company in the locality,
one mile east of Fernie, on the Crows Nest
Pass Railroad. To the north flows the roar-
ing Elk river, running for some distance al-
most alongside the mill. It is down this
stream that the logs are driven to the mill from
the company’s limits sume distance east, con-
sisting of 7,000 acres of spruce, fir, pine and
cedar. During the winter season they are
hauled to the mill by sleighs.

The saw mill is 40 feet by 80 feet in dimen-
sions and is equipped with circular, edger,
trimmers, butting saws, log haul up, steam
It has a
capacity of 35,000 feet per day of 10 hours.
The planing mill runs parallel to the saw mill,
the lumber being carried from one to the other
by live rollers. It is equipped with three
planers. The lath mill has a capacity of

the vicinity of Fernie, a large local trade has
sprung up. At the time of writing a good
deal of local trade is being done in rebuilding
the business section of the town which was
devastated by fire in May of this year.

Mr. John Alexander McDougall, popularly
known as ‘‘Sandy ”, president of the company,
is a product of Arnprior, Ont., where he was
engaged in the lumber trade from childhood.
He came west in 1898, cutting timber for the pro-
jected Crows Nest Past Road and finally drift-
ing back into the saw mill trade. Mr. L. M.
Proctor, the vice-president, is a native of Og-
densburg, New York, where he was engaged
in the lumber trade. He came west in 1808,
working on the construction of the Crows Nest
Road. Both gentlemen are men of ability and
are held in the highest esteem by the citizens
of Fernie.

The company purpose building in the course
of a few months a logging railroad four miles
long, of the standard gauge, to their limits.
Power to commence with will be supplied by
horses, but later will be superseded by the
company’s own locomotives. The estimated
cost of the road will be $6,000 a mile.

HAZELMERE LUMBER MILL.

Among the latest additions to the lumber
industry of the Coast is that of the Hazelmere
Lumber Mill, owned by G. M. Thrift, an ex-
perienced western logger. Building operations

30 feet broad and is equipped with two
Simond’s log saws, rollers, log hauls, planers,
with matcher and flooring machine complete.

The capacity is 40,000 feet per day of ten
hours.

The boiler house is separated just a few feet
from the main building and is equipped with
one boiler and one engine.

Although just commencing operations, they
have already secured large orders from the
local trade and are receiving every day in-
quiries from Manitoba, the Territories, and
even as far east as Toronto. The mill em-
ploys thirty hands.

Ontario, being formerly owners of the Fox-
mead mills there.

The main building is too feet long by 50

is obtained from twolarge Waterous engines
and two boilers. Connected with the power
house is a filing room and blacksmith shop.
The principal timber manufactured by this
firm is spruce, with a slight sprinkling of
tamarac and pine. Mr. Proctor assures the
writer that so popular has become the demand

in the Territories for this mountain spruce

during the past year that they are finding diffi-
culty in keeping up with the orders. Most
of the output is marketed in the Territories
and Manitoba, although during the past six

years, since the advent of the coal mines in

were commenced in January of this year and
completed on May 2gth. The mill is splendid-
ly situated on the Great Northern Railway
three miles from the boundary and right in the
centre of some magnificent limits of fir, cedar
and spruce owned by Mr. Thrift. This prox-
imity of a plentiful supply of good logs will no
doubt prove a great asset in days of keen com-
petition, enabling the owner to save the freight
charges for hauling and thus be in a position
to sell cheaper than his rivals to the local
trade.

reys, of Drayton, Wash. It is roo feet long by

son’s upright shingle machines manufactured
at the Schaake Machine Works, New West-
minster, lumber rig and planer. The output
is 60,000 shingles per day and 15,000 feet of
cedar, all of which is marketed locally and in
Ontario.

Power for driving the machinery is derived
from one boiler and two engines situated in a
fireproof building fully 50 feet clear of the mill.
A dry kiln and machine shop are other adjuncts
of the plant.

The owners, who are both bright, energetic
men, full of vim and snap, always being ready
to seize an opportunity, purpose increasing
the capacity of the-mill and going still more
largely into the manufacture of clear cedar.

ADVERTISING RATES ON APPLICATION.

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN is published in the interests of the
lumber, wood-working and allied industries, being the only
representative in Canada of these important interests. It aims
at giving full and timely information on all subjects touching
these interests, and invites free discussion by its readers.

Especial pains are taken to secure for publication in the
WEEKLY LUMBERMAN the latest and most trustworthy market
quotations throughout the world, so as to afford to the trade at
home and abroad information on which it can rely in its
operations. Subscribers will find the small amount they pay
for the CANADA LUMBERMAN quite insignificant as compared
with its value tothem. There is not an individual in the trade,
or specially interested in it, who should not be on our list, thus
obtaining the present benefit and aiding and encouraging us to
render it even more complete.

Advertisers will receive careful attention and liberal treat-
ment. For manufacturing and supply firms wishing to bring
their goods to the attention of owners and operators of saw
and planing mills, wood-working factories, pulp mulls, etc.
the CANADA LUMBERMAN is undoubtedly the cheapest and
most Roope advertising medium. Special attention is
directed to ‘‘WANTED” and ‘“* For SALE”’ advertisements, which
are inserted in a conspicuous position on front page of the
Weekly Edition.

MILEAGE AND STUMPAGE CHARGES.

The new regulations imposed by the New
Brunswick Government on Crown timber
lands have now been in operation a year. It
will be remembered that the annual charge was
increased from $4 to $8 per square. mile, and
the stumpage dues cn spruce, pine and fir saw
logs from $1 to $1.25 per thousand feet, and
on cedar from 80 cents to $1.25. The result
of the first year’s operations has clearly shown
that the advanced charges were imposed at an
inopportune time, for the lumber industry of
New Brunswick is now in avery depressed
condition. With the high wages which have
prevailed, and the fixed charges incident to the
ownership and cutting of timber, the lumber-
men find it almost impossible to operate ata
profit.

A delegation representing the Lumbermen’s
Association recently waited on the Govern-
ment to ask that the mileage on timber limits
be reduced to the old rate of $4 per mile, this
rate to continue at least until
market improves.

the lumber
It was pointed out that the
higher charges were imposed after a few years
of prosperity inthe lumber trade, and ata
time when the signs pointed toa reaction.
Since then this condition has been realized, the
present season being the most unsatisfactory
that has been experienced for many years. It
is most difficult to place a cargo of lumber in
the British market, and, with the exception of
the cargoes that were sold during the early
spring, very few shipments will be made to
that market.

The increased mileage charges represent
about $40,000 annually, while the stumpage
increase amounts to approximately $43,000.
The total is not a large amount, but under
‘existing conditions the lumbermen consider it
a hardship to be compelled to pay the higher

rates. As itis in the interest of the Govern-

ment as wellas of the province that the saw
and shingle mills should be operated, it is be-
lieved that the Government will at least accede
to the request for a lower mileage charge.

RED CEDAR SHINGLE DIFFICULTIES.

The shingle mills of British Columbia, un-
like those in Eastern Canada, can be operated
the year round. The possible production is
the daily capacity multiplied by the number of
working days in the year. A comparatively
small mill will, in the course of twelve months,
produce a considerable quantity of shingles,
and during a portion of this productive period
the consumption of shingles is almest at a
standstill. The large number of new mills
which have been built within the last three
years have a combined capacity greater than
is generally supposed, and, taken in conjunc-
tion with the old established mills, the output
has been greatly in excess of the demand.
Overproduction has resulted in a demoralized
market, prices having steadily weakened for
some months past, until now they are at the
point where the manufacturer’s profit is en-
tirely obliterated. This is all the more regret-
table for the reason that the red cedar shingle
is in popular favor and has always been in
good demand. The North-West trade this
year has been particularly brisk.

Various plans have keen originated to
maintain prices at a reascnable basis and
prevent, if possible, serious loss to the trade.
This has been found difficult of accomplish-
ment. The large number of small mills were
a great source of annoyance and even some of
the larger manufacturers did not adhere to
association prices, so that it soon became a
question of price cutting to obtain orders, and
there is now practically no standard prices.
When business is brisk and orders— plentiful,
an association designed to regulate production
and maintain prices may easily be kept to-
gether, but when heavy stocks are being car-
ried for which there is little demand, many are
apt to yield to the temptation to break away
from all unity with confreres and endeavor to
reduce the burden they are carrying even if at
prices which represent no profit.

How best to handle the Ontario trade is a
proposition to which the B.C. shingle manu-
facturers have given much consideration, with-
out, apparently, arriviag at a satisfactory solu-
tion. The appointment of five selling agents

for the province was one of the plans inaugu- -

rated, but after a test it was found impracticable.
Another proposition that has been considered
is the appointment of a secretary through
whose hands all orders for the Eastern trade
should pass, he in turn to appoint district re.
presentatives where found advisable to do so.
By some it is believed that such a plan might
be successtul, but others, remembering the
fate of previous efforts, are skeptical.

We must confess that the immediate outlook
for the B.C. shingle industry is not promising.
It will probably pass through a period of refor-
mation, during which time some of the weaker
manufacturers may succumb. Some mills will
be closed down and probably dismantled.
Little money is likely to be made by either
manufacturer or dealer. In the meantime the

market will expand and a year or two hence
production and supply will get closer together
and the business will once more be on a sub-
stantial footing. This forecast is not very ac-
ceptable to those who have invested their
money in shingle plants, but it is a fair state-
ment of the situation, all the more deplorable
because brought about solely by the shingle
manufacturers themselves rather than by trade
depression. Too many persons, with no ex-
perience and little capital, sought to become
rich through the operation of a shingle mill.
The craze for shingle manufacturing has now,
we hope, spent its force, and, disastrous as
have been the results, a useful lesson may have
been learned.

FIRE RANGING ON LICENSED LANDS.

The Government of the Province of Quebec
are about to adopt new regulations looking to
the better protection of timber lands from fire. —
Before finally adopting the new laws it was
considered advisable to ascertain the views of
the limit holders, for which purpose a meeting
was held in Ottawa recently. The suggestions
submitted to the meeting by the Government -
were :

First. To increase the fire tax on limit
holders from 17% cents to 25 cents per square
mile.

Second. To increase the number of fire
rangers trom 65 to 100 for fire districts Nos, 1
and 2.

Third. To require lumbermen to pay the
whole cost of extinguishing fires instead of
one-half as at present. .

The lumbermen agreed to the. first and
second suggestions, but claimed that the Gov-
ernment should continue to pay one-half the
cost of extinguishing fires. The discussion on
the subject brought up the question as to the
relative merits of the Quebec system as com-
pared with that existing in Ontario, and the
opinion of many of the licensees strongly
favored the method in force in Ontario. In
this province the government charges no fire
tax. The limit holder.is allowed to name as
many fire rangers as he considers necessary for
the safe protection of his limits, the cost there-
of being divided equally between the Govern-
ment and the licenseé. The rangers are
selected by the licensees, but the Department
of Crown Lands reserves the right to reject or
remove any person whon they consider unfit
for the position. This system has provided
very efficient protection, th> limit holders fully
realiz'ng its benefits and availing themselves of
its operation. The number of rangers employ-
ed on licensed territory has increased from
thirty-seven in 1885 to two hundred and forty-
four in 1903. 7

A comparison of the operation of the systems
in the two provinces leads one to favor the
Ontario system from the standpoint of both
efficiency and economy. According to the
last report of the Minister of Lands, Mines and
Fisheries, the aréa of timber lands under
license in the Province of Quebec was 62,730
square miles. The number of fire rangers on
this territory was only seventy-two, whereas
the fixed charges to be paid by license holders,
according to the rate of 17% cents per square

>

at

SEPTEMBER, 1904

mile, was $10,977. Each ranger would have
average of 750 square miles of territory
under his supervision, and the average cost to
‘the licensee would be $152 per ranger. It
‘must be admitted that seventy-two rangers are
not sufficient to patrol 62,700 square miles,
and the wages of all the extra rangers neces-
sary for the proper protection of the limits must
be paid by the limit holders.

“In the Province of Ontario there were under
license in 1903 17,033 square miles of timber
limits, on which two hundred and forty-four
‘fire rangers were employed. The cost to the
Jicensees was $31,257. Thus there would be
provided one ranger to every seventy square
miles, at an average cost to the licensee of
$138 per ranger. The cost of extinguishing
fires is divided between the Government and
_ the licensee.

- The Ontario Government and the timber
"limit holders alike seem well satisfied with the
operation of the fire ranging system, and other
provinces might, with advantage we think,
adopt this system. Unfortunately, several of
the provincial governments have as yet made
no provision for fire ranging. Whether or not
‘the destructive fires which have occurred re-
cently in British Columbia would have been
prevented by a staff of fire rangers we cannot
say, but no time should be lost in adopting
such regulations as would be likely to reduce
the danger from fire to the minimum.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

- According to the Government reports, for the
period of ten months ended April 3oth of the
present year, lumber was imported into Canada,
largely from the United States, to the value of
$4,676,556, as against $2,920,876 in the cor-
esponding period of the previous year. Thus
American lumber sent into Canada almost
doubled in value inthe last ten months, as
stated.

Occasionally argument is heard against the
imposition of an import duty on United States
dumber. A gentleman who deplores the idea
of taxing raw material, and who has given
some study to the Canadian timber supply,
points out that increasing difficulty is being
experienced by lumber dealers and contractors
in securing bill stuff in Canada. He claims
that white pine has become too valuable to be
used for that purpose, and that it is almost im-
possible to get a large order for dimension tim-
‘ber executed by the white pine mills. For this
reason he argues that we must import southern
pine. His remarks, of course, were intended
to apply particularly to Ontario. It is an
argument that has not been advanced hereto-
fore to our knowledge, and one which is en-
titled to some consideration.

an early date, at which such action is likely to
be agreed upon. It is probable that it will
also be decided to hold such lumber as is now
on hand rather than attempt to market it in
Great Britain. Such a policy is to be com-
mended and we sincerely hope that it may be
strictly carried out. Timber is too valuable to
be sacrificed, and it will make more money for
its owner by keing permitted to stand in the
tree than if cut down and sold at an unfavor-
able time.

We wou'd direct the attention of our read-

ers, and especially the retail dealers of Mani-

toba and the North-West Territories, to the

large number of lumber and shingle manufac- |

turers of British Columbia now advertising the
products of their mills in the columns of the
monthly and weekly issues of THE CANADA
LuMBERMAN. The list includes some thirty-
five of the largest firms in the province and

represents an invested capital of about $20,-
000,000. During the past twelve months
these manufacturers have marketed their
stocks in Manitoba and the Territories in the
face of considerable difficulties and disadvan-
tages, such as excessive freight rates and the
competition of surplus stocks of low grade
American lumber ; but, with this latter evil
eliminated, as we hope it will be, the
volume of trade is certain to assume very large
proportions. This is as it should be, and we
feel convinced that the longer the acquaintance
of the buyer with the B. C. mill products, the
more convinced will he become of their excel-
lent qualities, and we assure all retailers that
they will do well when in search of lumber to
carefully consider the B. C. product.

Subscribers are expected to send us lumber
news items from their locality. Don’t neglect
to advise us of all improvements, business
changes, etc.

é | THE CANADA LUMBERMAN

SEPTEMBER, 1904

THE WINNIPEG EXHIBITION.
Office of the CaNADA LUMBERMAN,
McIntyre Block, August I9, 1904.

Since our last issue Winnipeg has been the centre of
great excitement on account of the Dominion Exhibi-
“tion and almost every line of trade has been influenced
thereby, but probably the one to be least affected in
this regard is the lumber trade. It is true that,
during the preparations, a quantity of lumber was of
necessity called into requisition, from which a certain
benefit accrued, but, generally speaking, business in
these lines has gone on in the usual manner. There
are distinct indications that the rush of trade that com-
menced with the opening of the season
has now found its level, and things are
steadying down, awaiting the results of
the coming crops. Money, too, is get-
ting very tight, attributed generally to
the indisposition of the Banks to accept
farmers’ paper, their adverse experience
year making them unusually
cautious. However, should the Harvest
be up to expectations, the financial aspect
will immediately improve, and a move in

trade will be looked for in consequence.
There are also indications of improved
conditions with the B. C. mills. During
the opening months of the year the trade
was greatly favoring the U. S. mills, and
much anxiety was expressed, but lately
there has been a better proportion of trade
going to mills on this side, owing prob-

ably to prices showing a better parity.

LUMBERMEN’S TOOLS AT THE DOMINION
EXHIBITION,

Among the several exhibits in the Ma-
chinery Hall of the Winnipeg Exhibition
which attracted universal attention was
that of Shurly & Dietrich, of Galt, Ont.
This firm had a prominent position across one end of
the building, the wall of which was arranged with a
circular display of their various tools and implements,
mounted on dark purple plush, the centre-piece being
a fine circular saw 7% feet in diameter, the largest
crucible steel plate that has been made. Arranged
around this in artistic form were samples of their many
tools. There were their ‘‘ Maple Leaf ” lance cross-
cut saw and hand saws of the same brand, the quality
of which is well known on account of this firm’s special
secret process of tempering. It is a noticeable feature
that Shurly & Dietrich are the only Canadian firm
who are doing an export trade in these goods with
Australia, New Zealand and United States, which fact
speaks well for the quality of their goods, since this
has been done in the face of a duty of 30 per cent.
They also had on exhibit samples of their harvest tools,
which are manufactured by and under the style of the
‘“Maple Leaf Harvest Tools Company,” of Tilsonburg.

DOMINION EXHIBITION,

Another exhibit of great interest to lumbermen was
that of the Dundas Axe Works, Dundas, Ont. This
firm exhibited a fine collection of double and single bit
axes in both overcoat and insert steel, prominent among
which was to be seen their well known ‘‘ Crown Jewel”
axe, which we understand is gaining a place in the
front ranks among lumbermen.

The James Smart Manufacturing Company, of Brock-
ville, Ont., showed an attractive range of lumbermen’s
axes and other tools, together with their stoves and
generators.

had a fine location extending across the centre of the
Machinery Hall, in which they made an interesting dis-
play of their machinery, comprising an Ideal high-
speed enclosed self-oiling engine, a ten inch moulder,
a full set of Philbrick patent adjustable matcher heads,
etc.

The Robert Bell Engine and Thresher Company, of
Seaforth, Ont., had in operation on the Exhibition
grounds some very powerful 20 h.p. traction and por-
table engines, particularly adapted to saw mill work.
They also had on exhibit one of their No. o portable
saw mills suitable for 12 to 30 h.p. This company
received some. very excellent testimonials regarding
their engines and machinery.

The E. Long Mnfg. Company, of Orillia, Ont., had
on exhibit in the Machinery Building a creditable dis-
play of various machines, noticeable among which
were their Clipper shingle machines, Lockport swing
saw mills, a three saw double edge lathe and picket

machine, a saw carriage and frame, and double
geared log haul-up. There was a good deal in this ex-
hibit of an attractive nature and much attention was
given to it by the various visitors.

The A. R. Williams Machinery Company, of Winni-
peg, displayed a range of lathes, drills and wood-
working machinery, and also a complete outfit for saw-
mills, with engines and boilers. This firm, whose
address is 45 Notre Dame street east, carry in stock a
full line of all necessary mill and machinery outfits.

The Canadian Iron and Foundry Company, of St.
Thomas, Ont.,showed samples of their “‘trolley’”’ wheels,
high grade machinery wheels and grey iron castings.

The Stuart Machinery Company, of
Winnipeg, the Western agents of the
E. Long Mnfg. Company, Orillia, had a
fine showing of wood-working machines,
a prominent feature being their log frame
and saw carriage, for which they claim
special advantages over other makes. It
has an extra wide friction drive, an en-
tirely new saw guide, extra size wheels
on log frame, which ensures special ea-e
in running, and a new adjustment to
drive, which minimizes wear and tear.
They also showed surfacers and match-
fans for the removal of
dust and shavings, emery wheels and saw
sharpening outfits.

The Northern Iron Works, Winnipeg,
had an attractive display arranged with
their own fencings and crestings, painted
in colors, enclosing their space. They
had on exhibit shafting, boxes, and all
kinds of machinery castings, as well as
an outfit of circular saws.

The Waterous Engine Works Com-
pany, of Brantford, Ont., had one
of their No. 7 fire engines on ex-
hibit in the grounds of the Exnibition. This engine,
all cold, can be started in two minutes and in less than
five minutes will be throwing a stream of water 100
feet high. Ata test at Red Deer it threw two streams
with the wind 150 feet and with side-wind 136 fect.
Through a line of 1,000 feet hose it is capable of pro-
jecting a stream of water through a one-inch nozz'e
100 to 120 feet, according to wind, or two lines 500
feet with 23/” nozzles simultaneously 100 feet.

The western selling agents for the Gutta Percha &
Rubber Manufacturing Company, of Toronto, had an
excellent display of rubber goods, with a special show
of their well-known brands of belting and hose
foremost amongst which is their ‘‘Maltese Cross’
special stitched belting, made particularly for dynamos
and mill purposes. Their other brands, viz.,‘‘Monarch,”
‘‘Red Strip” and ‘‘Lion Brand,” were also well in evi-

had also a series of stands showing every size and pat-
tern made. An interesting feature of this exhibit was
a machine in full operation for miking the Penberthy
injectors. -With the exception of perhaps one or two,
all the machines at work on the grounds were fitted
with this company’s injectors.

was mounted on this bearing and was driven through-
out the entire fair time by aq ordinary fishing line. On
an ordinary shaft were mounted .three wheels, one
an ordinary brass journal, the second on ball bearings,

DoMINION EXHIBITION, WINNIPEG—EXHIBIT OF E. Lone Mrc.

Mr. M. L. Killam, of Truro, N.S., has secured a patent
for an auxilliary saw guide and self adjusting sett collars
that are placed on saw arbors and are now used in circular
saw mills. His claims are as follows: They are giving per-
fect satisfaction, as any sawyer can use them. They guide
the saw perfectly in every cut without moving the front
guide, and by this improvement and saw guide to top of saw
it is no troublle to run thinner saws. It has cut more and
better lumber than ever before sawn on circular saw mills.
When sett collars are properly placed on the arbor it is im-
possible to heat or damage the saw in any way, as it has
been tested, and when using top guide it keeps the saw in
the right place and no time is Jost when a larger log comes
than will go under the guide, as it is hinged at right angles
from the saw. When the large log comes in contact with
the guide it moves out of the way and when the log returns
back the guide is then pulled back by means of a small cord
at the sawyer’s hand, no time being lost at any movement of
the carriage, and the carriage or the log can be moved back
at any part of the cut, while the guide is in perfect safety of
any accident. When using these attachments the saw should
be in perfect line with the carriage and a guide at opposite
directions from the one in front of saw, only on log side of

saw, to keep saw from tipping against log. Further partic-
ulars, prices, etc., may be obtained by those interested by
writing The Oxford Foundry & Machine Company, Oxford,
Nova Scotia.

‘“ Tools for the Care of Saws” is the title of the latest
catalogue issued by the William Hamilton Manufactur-
ing Company, of Peterboro, Ont, who have lately enter-
ed into an agreement with the Covel Manufacturing
Company, of Chicago, whereby they secure the sole
right to build their saw sharpening machinery in Can-
ada. All the Covel machines have been brought
strictly up-to-date.

imports of the South African colonies amounted to

$242,000,000, the United States sending goods in chat
year to the extent of $22,000,000. With the aid of the
preference and the direct line of steamers lately estab-
lished between the Dominion and South Africa, Canada
ought to successfully compete with the United States
in such articles as bicycles, flour, chairs, agricultural
implements, cotton, lumber, doors, sashes, blinds,

THE “HOE” SAW EXHIBIT.

Among the many handsome and interesting exhibits in the
Liberal Arts Building at the Louisiana Purchase Exposi
tion, that of chisel-tooth saws shown by the firm of R. Hoe
& Company is among the most interesting. This firm are
also manufacturers of printing presses, which acccounts fe
their exhibit being located in the Liberal Arts Building.

The saws are by no means the most uninteresting part o
the exhibit, and seem to attract the attention and admirati
of visitors quite as much as the more intricate printing pres
es. R. Hoe & Company’s specialty is the inserted-tooth
circular saw, of which they were the originators and inven
ors. These saws have been in use for many years,
their superiority over solid saws for almost every kind o

work has been thoroughly demonstrated. It is claimed that
there is n° finer inserted-tooth saw made than that manutac-
tured by R. Hoe & Company. :
The accompanying picture shows a small section of the
exhibit. The stand at the left side shows the name **R. Hoe
& Co.” artistically worked out in bits and shanks. The saw
in the middle is six feet in diameter. On the left of the
large saw is a small solid saw, with the date 1824 above it
also made with bits and shanks, and on the opposite side i:
a small chisel-tooth saw with the date 1904 above it. This

shows that R. Hoe & Company not only consider the chisel

Golden Lake on August 4th, at which nearly
seven thousand persons were present. Every-
thing was provided free by Mr. White, and in
addition all the employees were allowed full
pay. For the purpose of satisfying the appe-
tites of the large crowd, there were provided
1,350 pounds of cooked meats, 300 pounds of
pork, 1,300 pounds of beef, 1,000 loaves of
bread, 300 pounds of beans, 150 dozen buns,
800 pounds of cheese, 100 pounds of biscuits,
150 pounds of jam, 50 pounds of tea, 75
pounds of sugar, and cigars, soft drinks, fruit,
cake and candy galore. Among the industries
represented were the saw mills of the Pem-
broke Lumber Company and A. & P. White,
the National Manufacturing Company’s es-
tablishment, Pink’s machine shops, the Pem.-

thoth saw the circular saw of the twentieth century, but also

-qat they have been manufacturing saws for eighty years—

touite an enviable record.

A handsome mahogany glass case contains samples of the
different styles and sizes of bits and shanks, also a complete
assortment of saw tools. The saws, of which there are a
dozen or fifteen, varying in size from 12 inches to five feet,
are held in a simple but artistic stand in such a way that
they can be easily removed and shown in detail to those
interested.

Several of R. Hoe & Company’s friends have been so
pleased with the work accomplished by their saws that they
have sent, not only testimonials, but samples of the work
done by them, showing that the saws will cut iron as well
as wood. Several of these relics have been exhibited ;
among others a horse shoe is shown sliced off bya saw. In
some way the shoe had become imbedded in the tree. No
damage was done to the saw, other than the dulling of a
few teeth. Another relic has been sent by Messrs. Chas.
Smith, Jr., & Sons, of Mt. Vernon, Indiana. Their letter
reads as follows: ‘‘ We cut into a 5” bolt of iron twice the
other day with your chisel-tooth saw and did not injure
the saw.” :

R. Hoe & Company have spared no pains to make this a ~
nandsome exhibit, and they certainly deserve the greatest
r edit for their patriotism and liberality.

NEW ONTARIO FORESTS.

Mr. Archibald Henderson, who is one of a
party now exploring the region to the west of
Lake Abittibi, writes to the Toroto Globe re-
garding the timber as follows:

Along the rivers, and for the most part the
creeks also, the country naturally appears at
its best. The most valuable timber, as also
the soil promising most for the agriculturist, is
here found. White spruce as large as 32
inches in diameter, averaging sixteen inches,
aspen and balsam poplar some 28 inches, aver
aging fourteen inches, are the most valuable
trees. Mixed with these are the smaller black
spruce, white birch and balsam. Such a forest

Are

unfortunately extends from only two or three
chains to halfa mile inland from the waterfront.
This is not as serious as might seem at first,
however, as the whole country is drained by
numerous small unnamed rivers and creeks, as
yet not marked on any map, besides the large
rivers, and each of these as a rule has sloping
banks, in some cases from 30 to 4o feet high,
and timbered almost as well as the usually
somewhat higher banks of the larger rivers.
The subsoil in such localities is a heavy clay,
covered with several inches of vegetable mould,
and supporting besides the timber a rich flora.

Inland from the rivers and creeks the char-
acter of the country changes very considerably,

19

and in various areas assumes four different as-
pects. By far the greatest part is well wooded
with black spruce, in size up to thirteen inches,
averaging probably seven inches. These grow
on a clay soil overlaid with two or three feet of
humus, which again supporis moss to the ex-
tent of about eight inches. Many of these
spruce woods are quite wet and the mossy
floor is of a sphagnous nature, while in other
drier localities the floor is largely composed of
Bryaceous mosses. Scattered through the
black spruce are many tamarac, which in wet-
ter areas are collected into tamarad swamps.
These trees, unfortunately, are dead almost
without exception, having been killed within
recent years by the larch sawfly in these areas.

GLEN COVE BOSS TIMBER SIZER.

The accompanying engraving illustrates the Glen Cove
Boss timber sizer, built by the American Wood Working
Machinery Company. This is claimed to be the heaviest
and most powerful as well as the simplest and most easily
handled machine of this class on the market. It is fully up
to date in design, simple in construction and all material
and workmanship are of the very best. The parts liable to
breakage are reduced to a minimum and a complete system
of numbering and lettering applied, which is a great con-
venience when ordering necessary repairs.

This machine is built to work 30 x 20 inches, 30 x. 18
inches, 30 x 15 inches and 20 x 20 inches, with eight feed
rolls ; also 30 x 14 and 30 x 12 1nches, with six feed rolls.
The accompanying illustration shows the 8-roll machine.

All of the adjustments are easily and quickly made and

information upon application, and our readers are requested
to address the office nearest to them as follows: American
Wood Working Machinery Company, 136 Liberty St.,New
York City, or The Fairbanks Company, Vancouver, B. C.

CUT-OFF SAWS.

The writer recently paid a visit to a well-
equipped factory, where everything seemed to
be working in fine order except one cut-off saw
and atrim saw. ‘Talking to the manager, he
asked about men and machinery, stating that
his sawing did not come along as it ought,
and escorted me to the place where the sawing
was done. Everything was neat and tidy, but

-

possibly be told in words. Take particular

notice of the position of the teeth while in the
cut. A and B represent the board or plank. '

The writer, after many years of study and

practical experience, prefers the one shown in.

Fig. 23

In the saw shown in Fig. 1 there is no pos-
sible chance ot the teeth carrying the sawdust
through the cut. It will be noticed that both
the front and back of the teeth, if the lines
were continued, would all meet on a line just
one-fourth the diameter of the saw, thus mak-
ing a very stiff tooth ; in fact, just twice as stiff

those necessary for a change from one class of work to
another are all made from the operator’s positions at the
side or end of the machine, and so easily and quickly as to
make this machine capable of covering a very large range of
work from surfacing four sides (full capacity of the machine)
to car sills, flooring, decking or any similar work.

The frame is substantial, the sides are heavily ribbed and
cross girts are all planed to a seat and strongly bolted, and
all the upper work applied in a way to add strength and
stability.

The feed is\exceptionally powerful. All rolls are geared
at both ends. The first two top rolls are divided, except in
phe 20 x 20 inch machine, where the rolls are solid. All
top rolls are independently weighted and rise and fall
paralle] with the bottom rolls. The feed as well as the
power hoist is handled from the operator’s position from the
end and side of the machine. The feed hoist is very effec-
tive and is available when the feed is on or off.

The manufacturers will be pleased to send illustrated cir-
ulars giving a complete description of all details and other

the saws certainly needed attention. The first
suggestion was to joint up the saws, which
were out of true. The next was to shape the
teeth, which were bad for the kind ot work
being done.

The saws in use for stock sawing were like
those shown in Fig. 1. This kind of saw has
been in use many years, and, when properly
cared for, can be made to do very smooth and
accurate work, but where large amounts of
everything and anything must be cut quickly
and accurately, the style shown in Fig. 2.
should be used. This saw, with a little set,
properly jointed and filed, will do an enormous
amount of good work. Note the difference:
the sketches will explain more than could

as the one shown in Fig. 2—a very good thing
in its favor, but not nearly so important as the
good cutting edge, which is just about twice
as good as Fig. 1, although the tooth is only
half as strong.

Progressive manufacturers are looking for a
tool that will do good work and lots of it. The
saw shown in Fig. 2 is just as smooth a cutter
as can be made of that shown in Fig. 1, but
it must be kept in good order, or the tide may
be turned in favor of Fig. 1. There is no tool
so badly abused as the circular saw. Every
man thinks he can run it, and in fact he can,
but how? It is not a particularly hard job to
keep wood-working tools in order if men will
only think a little.

Now let us true up and sharpen the saw
shown in Fig. 2. To begin with, take a piece
of grindstone or emery wheel and true the saw
while it is running. Be sure the sides of the
teeth are not touched by staying in one spot in
the stone, for if the teeth lose their sharp cor-
ners by becoming round by wearing a groove in

the stone, the operator has done more damage
than good. Whichever saw is to be used, file
the teeth beveling on the face and back, and
every other tooth in the other direction; in other
words, from the other side ofthe saw. Do not
get too much bevel to teeth, for if you do you
are sure to have trouble; the extreme points

, FIG. 2.

of the teeth become too thin and weak and can
not stand up to the work. Study the nature
of the material being worked, and, it possible,
have the saws filed and fitted accordingly.
‘When this is done, very little trouble will be
experienced in doing good work and lots of it

For rough and ready stock cutting, use a
straight gauge saw with very little set, but for
trim sawing, where true and smooth work is
required, use a hollow-ground saw with no set.
As for the shape of tooth to select, if it is hard
and heavy cutting, needing great strength, use
the one shown in Fig. 1; if for the ordinary
run of work, use the one shown in Fig. 2.
Should it be desirable to have a combination
rip and cut-off saw, all that is necessary is to
file every third or fifth tooth square across.
These teeth carry the sawdust through the lum-
ber, which is necessary in ripping. The one
thing to be careful about is not to have the
square or rip teeth longer than the bevel or
In this way one gets a very
smooth cutter for either ripping or cross-cut-
ting.—‘‘W. H” in The Wood-Worker.

cross-cut teeth.

STAVE BOLTS BY THE POUND.

The Indianapolis Woodworker, speaking ofa
pencil slat factory in Tennessee that is buying
cedar timber by the pound, paying at the rate
of 6 cents a pound therefor, brings to mind
again the question of buying certain kinds of
timber by the pound instead of by the cord or
Down in West Virginia
there was a stave factory that once made it a
practice to buy slack-stave bolts by the pound
instead of by the cord. A wagon scale was
made use of,and by frequent comparisons with

per thousand feet.

the weight and measure a system of weights
was designed for the different kinds of, wood,
so that when a farmer came to town with a
load of bolts it was a simple matter of weigh-
ing in and then weighing the wagon out. This
practice probably still holds at that place, for
it was said to give very good satistaction and
to make the problem of measuring much easier
than when it was necessary to cord the stuff
up, but for some reason the idea has never
taken well with the trade as a whole. In fact,
it does not seem to have met with favor
enough to even gain a fair trial, and there
may be more init than is thought; it would
at least be interesting to hear trom any others
who may have given the weighing system a
trial.

HOW TO KEEP A FILE CLEAN.

Knowing how to keep a file clean is. one of
the fine points about filing. A great many
filers, and probably nearly all of them, have a
piece of a card which is tacked on to a narrow
piece of board. These cards are pieces of
Jeather some two inches wide, with fine steel
wires driven through them and the points bent
over, and are made primarily to be used on
machines for carding wool and cotton in fac-
A much better thing than this is a
narrow piece of commercial steel, about 1-16x
34-inch, filed to a rather thin edge. This
pushes whatever there is in the teeth of the
file out absolutely, and there is no scratching
to be done.

—The Canadian Pacific Lumber Company at Barnet,
near Vancouver, are pushing rapidly ahead with
the construction of their new mill which is being erect-
ed in place of the one lately comsumed by fire. In their
p'aning mill, which also was consumed, they had the
misfortune to loose a planer which would accomplish
the remark ible feat of dressing timber 24 inches square.

The Victoria Lumber & Manufacturing Company, of
Chemainus, Vancouver Island, in view of the continued
depression in the foreign markets, have lately been
turning their attention to developing a trade in Mani-
toba and the Territories, their efforts being attended
with considerable success.

-—A wealthy eastern syndicate headed by a Mr.
Cook, who has large mills in Algoma, Ont., is ne-
gotiating for the purchase of 17,000 acres of timber
land trom the Nelson and Fort Sheppard Railway Com-
pany, with the idea of establishing a large saw mill in-
dustry in the neighborhood of Ymir, B. c.

—The operations of the Canadian Timber & Saw
Mills, Limited, of Trout Lake, have been attended with
considerable success since commencement in June,
under the improved market conditions of Manitoba and
the Territories. The daily output is 60,000 feet of
lumber,mostly cedar, 80,000 shingles,and 25,000 laths.

—The East Kootenay Lumber Company, Cranbrook,

Numerous orders are coming in to the company’s offices
both at Winnipeg and Vancouver for these up-to-date
dwellings, which are shipped in their parts and soon
after arrival put together, presenting the appearance of
first-class dwellings houses. Prices are moderate and
within the reach of all settlers.

—The CANADA LUMBERMAN directs the attention ofits
readers from coast to coast to the splendid list of ad-
vertisements which are now appearing in both our
weekly and monthly numbers from British Columbia
lumber and shingle manufacturers. The strong
headway made by British Columbia lumber products in
the various markets of Manitoba and the Territories
and even the East, in face of heavy freight rates, is, we
believe, greatly due to the judicious expenditure of
money for advertising purposes and also to the con-
ducting of energetic canvassing of prospective buyers
throughout the country.

A MILLION POUNDS OF GRATES.

It is said that the Gordon Hollow Blast Grate Com-
pany, of Greenville, Michigan, who claim to be the
largest manufacturers of blast grates, edgers and
trimmers in the world, sell a million pounds of Gordon
hollow blast grates and their connections annually.

A singular fact in connection with this is that, in
spite of the vast number of these grates in use, some of
them having been installed early in the nineties, only
about 5 per cent. of their annual output is for repairs,
the grate being so durable that very few customers ever
have occasion to renew any portion of the apparatus.

sales manager. Mr. Spencer has been for some years
with the Cookston Lumber Company and leaves his
post with that company to locate in Winnipeg.

Lady Joly de Lotbiniere, wife of Sir Henri Joly de Lot-
biniere, lieutenant-governor of British Columbia, died in
Victoria on August 16th, from the effects of a paralytic
stroke, sustained some weeks ago. Her death is deeply
regretted throughout the entire Dominion, for she was
widely known and most highly esteemed. She was always
a true helpmate to her husband in the many positions of
responsibility and honor which he has occupied, and her
wise counsel will be greatly missed.

Referring to the fact that the Dominion Exposition
is being held at Winnipey this year, and that Jast year
Toronto was the point chosen, the Maritime Merchant
points out that next year’s Exhibition should justly be
held in the Maritime Provinces. It is absolutely es-
sential that the people of the different provinces should
become acquainted with the possibilities of each pro-
vince and as a means to this end a Dominion Exhibition
should be held in the Maritime Provinces.

A company has been organized in the city cf Mexico
under the title of the Mexican Permanent Exposition
Company for the purpose of maintaining a permanent
exhibit in that city of such products of other countries
as are best adapted to Mexican cultivation and uses.

They have already secured a government concession,
and are erecting extensive buildings which are to be
opened in the latter part of October. J. Landero Y.

SEPTEMBER, 1904 _

MANUFACTURE OF TRIANGULAR TIES.

Mr. M. Macauley, of Portland, Oregon, de-
scribes in the Columbia River and Oregon
Timberman the manufacture of triangular rail-
way ties as practised by the John O’Brien
Lumber Company; of Somers, Mont. This
company is located in a large belt of timber,
principally well adapted for the
manufacture of railroad ties. This timber is
tributary to the Whitefish, Stillwater and Flat-

tamarac,

- head rivers.

President Hill, of the Great Northern Rail-
road, who is interested in the company, while
in Austria several years ago, became inbued
with the advantages of the triangular tie over
the square tie, and has been using a consider-
able number of these ties for several years in
his system.

The mill differs but little from the ordinary
sawmill, the only difference being that in order
to produce triangular ties the square timber is
transterred to beveiled rolls and re-sawed.

ADVANTAGES CLAIMED.—The triangular tie
requires less timber to serve the same purpose
as the ordinary square tie.

The ease with which the tie accommodates
itselfto the roadbed by reason of its V, or
wedge-shaped, form, making it practically a
self-tamping tie, atthe same time offering a
surface bearing on the rail equal to the square
tie.

It is contended that the triangular tie is
more durable and less liable to rot in the track

ORDINARY SQUARE TIE.

than the square tie, by reason of its form pro-
viding a natural watershed for the portion
embedded in the track. This is obvious, there
being a face of only three inches on each _ sice
before the acute angle of the tie is reached.
On the square tie the water follows down the
sides and lodges at the base, and every impact
has a tendency to soften the ballast directly
under the tie, and work loose the tamping,
which is very noticeable at the extreme end of
the ties, especially in the case of poor or soft
ballasting.

DIsADVANTAGES.—The triangular ties does

not serve the purpose of the square tie, and
from what I shall endeavor to show, are manu-
factured at a loss of timber, costing one-fourth
more than the square tie.

To produce eight square ties 7”x8"x8 feet, it
requires a timber 14”x16’x16 feet. To manu-
facture eight triangular ties 7”x8"x8 feet it re-
quires a timber 14”x14"x16 feet, after making

TRIANGULAR TIE.

allowance for saw kerf. A timber 14x16’x16
feet containing 298 2-3 feet, makes eight square
ties 7”x8"x8 feet, 37 1-3 feet each, equal to
2982-3 feet. [tis obvious there is no loss.
To manufacture eight triangular ties 7”x8’x8
feet it requires a timber 14”x14’x16 feet, con-
taining 261 1-3 feet, a gain in manufacturing
triangular ties of 37 1-3 feet.

But while this gain appears, there is a loss
of 48 feet in manufacturing eight triangular
ties out of 14”x1q4"x16 feet timber. In order
to give the ties an 8-inch face the timber loses
four pieces 3°x3’x16 feet cut triangular, and
instead of 32 2-3 feet in each triangular tie, there
is but 26 2-3 feet, or a loss of 6 feet per tie.

Figuring this loss of 6 feet on the daily out-
put of 1000 ties it means a loss of 6,000 feet
of lumber. Computing the cost of 6,000 feet
of lumber at $7.00 per 1000 feet, means $42.00
per day, or 4 1-5 cents additional to the cost
of every triangular tie manufactured.

It is admitted, however, that the 3x3 edging
cut triangular, as shown by the diagram, could
be utilized in the manufacture of quarter-round
moulding, but even this saving would not make
up for the loss of six feet per tie as indicated
above.

In this connection it may be stated that the
size of logs from which the triangular ties are
cut make practically only four ties each, the
lumber on the outside being clear makes it
available for moulding stock.

In the square tie 7”x8”x8 feet there is 37 1-3
feet, in the triangular tie there is 26 2-3 feet, a
difference of 10 2-3 feet. It cannot be expect-
ed that the 7’x8"x8 feet triangular tie can
serve the purpose of the square tie for solidity
and safe-giving qualities.

The triangular tie splits more readily than
the ordinary square tie, owning to the small
body of timber available to receive the spike.

In laying the ties in a new piece of track
their pyramidical form precludes their use with-
out first ballasting to some extent, as the im-
pact of the rolling stock on the rail has a_ten-
dency to cause ties to deflect from the perpen-
cular.

Before using the ties they are treated in the
tie preserving plant, constructed adjacent to
the mill, with a solution of zinc and glue, a
treatment which it is claimed preserves the life
of a tie from five to fifteen years.

After three years’ experiment it may- be of
interest to note that the use of triangular ties
fails to demonstrate any merit that would
warrant their universal adoption.

SUPERIORITY OF B. C. SHINGLES, |
That the British Columbia manufacturers
produce a better shingle than the Washington
mills, is admitted by the Pacific Coast Lumber
Trade Journal, in which we find the following :
‘* Without going into the merits of the contro-

versy that has been raging at Olympia and

other places in this state relative to the em-—

ployment of Japanese shingle weavers, it can
be truthtully stated that the Japanese crews
employed in the British Columbia mills turn

out a better grade of shingles than the white

labor employed on this side of the line. The
trouble with the latter is that there are too
many individuals in the ranks of the white
shingle weavers who labor by the sweat of
their jaws and not their brow, and the result is
that they will not do decent work.
emphasized by recent strikes on Grays Harbor
and in Skagit county, where the crews walked
out in a body because the foremen insisted on
better packing. It is no secret that the mill-
men have lost considerable business this year

because of the loose and careless work done by

the shingle weavers, and when prices are forced
down by lack of demand due to slovenly meth-
ods of the packers and knotsawyers and wayes
are reduced because of it, the jawsmiths refuse
to work or to allow others to labor also.”

THE BIGGEST SPRUCE TREE,
It has been found again—that is, the big-
gest spruce tree on the coast. This time it is

the real thing. No wonder it has grown to
wondrous size, for it was tound in God’s
valley, twelve miles from Nehalem, in Oregon.
It is 21 feet in diameter, hence 63 feet in girth.
It will have to be chopped down to count its
rings to ascertain its age.
order to estimate how many feet of car siding
could be made from it; how many butter
firkins ; how many apple boxes and how much
sawdust would be wasted with a circular saw
over a band saw.— West Coast Lumberman.

The company is offering stock to the public at par.

The company has purchased land, consisting of four lots, upon the corner of McLean Drive and Powell Street, Vancouver, B.C., facing
Powell Street, and running back to the C.P.R. track, and with one side upon McLean Drive, (now opened up). The whole measuring 185
ft. by 132 ft.

Upon this a building has been erected, 85 ft. by 40 ft., two floors, with a tempering shop 26 ft. by 32 ft. one floor.at one side.

_ A 50 h.p. motor and the main shafting and pulleys are already installed. A portion of the machinery has been ordered, including a
milling machine for the inserted-teeth saws, a heavy parallel grinder for band saws, and the material for the tempering furnace. a

The company is having its circular saw grinding machine built after the latest improved American model.

The stock already sold is more than sufficient to cover the cost of the land, buildings and the machinery and supplies pow in hand and
ordered.

Further stsck is now offered for purchasing the further necessary plant and supplies, to complete the whole, and enable the company
to execute the orders which are already promised to the company. <¥ £-

The inquiries already received from users ot the company’s manufactures ensures that the works will be fully occupied in executing
orders, and sufficient land is owned by the company for extending the works when the needs demand it.

The company enjoys the advantages of cheaper fuel for the tempering furnaces, and oil for hardening, than can be obtained in Eastern
Canada, and Messrs. Jessop, of Sheffield, have quoted the company the same prices for their steel delivered at ‘Vancouver as at Toronto.

Applications for shares will be received by the Secretary, HERBERT WILKINSON, at the company’s offices, corner Powell Street
and McLean Drive, Vancouver, British Columbia. ;

AMS TANDEM IRGULAR SAW ILL

The attention of Manufacturers of Lumber is
called to the above named latest and best
method of sawing lumber,

The following advantages are obtained :

Tjower cost of installation than any other
method which will saw an equal number of
superficial feet in a given length of time.

Smaller expense in operation, thus producing
lumber at a lower cost per thousand feet than
any other method.

Requires no more help to operate it than any
well equipped Circular Saw Mill.

Lumber has been sawn better and more accur-
ately cut by this method than by any other now
in use.

The Killam Tandem Circular Mill requires no
more skilled men to operate it than is required
to operate the ordinary Circular Mill.

If solid saws are used, the larger one, when
worn down can be used for the smaller one,
thus saving expense for saws.

No difficulties in handling or setting by this
machine and no Celays.

No time is lost in setting for any thickness
from the cut of stationary saw up to six inches.

This machine takes the place of a resaw in a
mill and only requires a floor space of 6 ft. x 6 ft.

Also takes the place of a Twin Circular Mill
that is now used for slabbing, and this machine
will side as much lumber as any Twin Circular,
thus saving the expense of a resaw and men to
operate the same.

This machine is so cheap that any manufac-
turer of lumber can well afford to have one,for it
will pay for itself in a short time.

Will cut 50 per cent. more lumber than the
Circular Mills now in use.

Can be obtained from every 1,000 feet of logs if this machine
is used—due to its point regulation which enables you to
maintain any thickness of point without interfering with the butt.

“Your engine has been running day and-night for over
three years (equal to seven years’ regular work) and during
that time we have never lost a minute through any defect
in the engine and have never expended a dollar i in repairs.
It is still running noiselessly and without vibration.’

THE TRIUMPH TURBINE

Is the most powerful wheel on the market to-day. A glance at
this cut of the centre shows that the buckets are designed to
secure the maximum of speed with great power and a free
discharge. Mr. E. S. Edmondson, of Oshawa, writes as fol-
lows under date of November 16th, 1903, regarding a 26 inch
Vertical Triumph Wheel:

“The Wheel is strictly: first-class in every particular,

and after a careful and thorough test I am prepared to say

that I believe it is the best wheel in the market for Elec-

trical purposes. It has high speed, large power, high effi-

ciency at part gate, and has practically no leakage. I am
more than pleased with the thorough and workmanlike

setting you gave me throughout.”

SAW MILL MACHINERY

Saw mill men are fast finding out and appreciating the great saving
effected by using Steam Setting Machines. ; -

We have supplied these machines on trial on the understanding that they
were to be returned to us if they did not give every result promised.

Not one of them has ever been returned.

Ask your setter if he could not do better work with one of these
machines, then write us for prices and. catalogues.

The standard size machine, as shown in cut, is well known to all mill
men. Every one in operation is proving daily that you can cut more and better
lumber with it.

When deciding on your improvements for next season you must take
this machine into consideration,

This cut shows our Steam Set Works tor the large blocks
in use on the Pacific Coast. It is a very powerful machine, and

will set for two-inch lumber as quickly and more easily than the

hand lever now sets for one.

Our last illustration shows our

IMPROVED STEAM SETTER

WITH ENCLOSED RATCHET SET WORKS

This is an improved form of the standard machine.
We consider it is the most reliable and efficient form
of Steam Set Works that exists at the present time,

It will set four inches with one throw of the
lever, and is just the thing for mill men sawing timber
for export.

We are anxious to tell you more about any of
these machines, Why not send for our catalogue ?

THE PIGEON RIVER LUMBER COMPANY.

The splendid illustrations shown herewith
represent the properties of the Pigeon River
Lumber Company, of Port Arthur, one ot the
most up-to-date saw mill establishments in the
country. The company was organized in the
year 1897 by a party of Wisconsin capitalists,

Mr. D. J. Arpin being president, and Mr.

_ William Scott secretary-treasurer.

'

A splendid
plant was erected as speedily as possible on a
site of thirty acres right along the shores of
Thunder Bay at the head of Lake Superior,
and work was commenced in the early part of
1901, operations having been continued ever
since with remarkable success. The site is all

of the site near to King’s grain elevator. It is
a two-storey building r4o x 50 feet, equipped
with two double cutting bands, resaw, heavy
gang edger, slab slashers and trimmer. A lath
mill and a shingle mill are attached, both be-
ing well equipped.

The boiler room is a large stone annex
equipped with six boilers, four of them 16 x 72;
two engines and an electric light plant. A
machine shop and filing room are attached.

The planing mill is situated about two hun-
dred yards further east. It is 300 x 75 feet in
dimensions and is equipped with six planers,
moulding machines and surfacer.

The capacity. of the saw mill, lath and

him indispensable for their successful continua-
tion of operations.

During the past spring Mr. Scott has had
the power plant of the saw mill increased by
the addition of two new boilers and one engine.

SPRUCE AND BALSAM LATH AND SHINGLES.

In answer to a subscriber who asks our
opinion as to the value of spruce and balsam
for lath and shingles, we would say that spruce
makes fairly good lath, and when large blocks
that are sound and clear of knots, shakes or
heart, good common shingles. Balsam will
not make shingles tor roofing, but shingles
made from balsam might ‘do very well for side

that could be desired by the most exacting of
mill owners, covering as it does the shore of
the lake for a distance of several hundred
yards, possessing a gradual slope towards the
water and being tavored by the most perfect
transportation facilities both by water and rail.
The main lines of the C.P.R. and C.N.R. run
right through the company’s property and
afford splendid connections with the prairie
markets. A little to the east is presented the
local markets of the growing towns of Port
Arthur and Fort William.

The company deal extensively in white pine,
their supply being drawn from 40,000 acres of
heavily timbered land in and around the Rainy
River sections of both Ontario and Minnesota,
all the logs cut being towed across the lake to
the bay in front of the mill. Some idea will
be gathered by the reader of the extent of the
cut when it is known that on the day of the

writer’s visit the company had a boom on

hand which the manager, Mr. Scott, estimated

at fully ten million feet.
The saw mill is situated on the extreme west

‘shingle mills are all given for a period of twen-

ty hours, as they are run night and day, the
figures being as follows: Saw mill, 250,000
feet ; lath mill, 25,000 ; and shingle mill, 25,-

itoba and the Territories as far west as Regina,

per cent. of the output, red pine representing
the balance.

Mr: William Scott, the secretary-treasurer,
hails from Grand Rapids, Wisconsin, and has
been directly connected with the lumber busi-
ness since commencing work as a boy. He
has entire charge of the mills, together with
the selling and marketing of the stocks, and it
is undoubtedly due to his ability and shrewd-
ness of management that the company have

_ employees, without losing their good will, it is

not to be wondered at that the company find

walls if well painted to protect them from the
weather. Balsam is not considered altogether
satistactory for lath, as it is likely to be shaky
and slivery when dry and be liable to split and
twist when nailed on the wall. It is, never-
theless, manufactured in limited quantities.
For durability under mortar balsam is all right.
There is no difference in the price of spruce
and balsam lath, current quotations being $2
at the mill for 134 inch No. 1, four feet in
length.

EXTENSION OF PREFERENTIAL TARIFF.

The Governor-General has approved of an
order in Council adding the Cape of Good
Hope, Natal, Orange River, the Transvaal and
Southern Rhodesia to the list of British colonies
entitled to the benefits of the British preferen-
tial taciff in Canada, dating from 1st of July,
instant. This is in return for the preference
extended by the South African Customs Union
Convention to Canada. Our exports to British
Africa last year amounted to Se
$1,900,000.

FOREST FIRES IN BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Although very considerable damage has been
done by fire to timber throught the province of
British Calumbia, it is very difficult to arrive at
the approximate loss, or the amount destroyed.
Some of the timber was on government land,
while some had been taken up. In the Koote-
nay district the largest known loser is the Elk
Lumber and Manufacturing Company, of Fer-
nie, composed of Minnesota people. In the
fire of July 24th and 25th, two million feet of
cut logs were burned, and the loss will be al-

together $200,000. The town of Fernie was
also threatened. The East Kootenay Lumber
Company lost 3,000 logs, and the C.P.R, 300
ties. The town of Creston had a narrow es-
cape, and the flume at the Alice concetrator, in
that vicinity, was destroyed. At Michel the
fire was so close to the town that the people
dug holes in their yards and buried their pos-

The town of Morrissey also had a
narrow escape. The Arrowhead Lumber Com-
pany’s limits on Galena Bay were on fire, and
T.J. Graham’s camp had to move. Little dam-
age was done, however, as a thunderstorm
came along shortly afterward. The Big Eddy

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN

OCTOBER, 1904

The C. P. R. yard engine and a gang of men
also were in the work. Mr. Gilpin’s saw mill
near Morrissey, purchased from the Cedar Val-
ley Improvement Company, was destroyed, al-
so a cottage containing the personal effects of

Manager Grady, of the Morrissey Lumber

Company.

The fires were bad in the vicinity of Fort
Steele and Cranbrook, and raged on both sides
of the railway track. Messrs. Blue & Des-
champs and the China Creek Lumber Company
at Rossland took the precaution of having
rangers cruise the limits constantly, and three
fires were caught in the initial stage and extin-
guished. , In Cariboo, where railways
are absent, there were few fires.
On the coast, a very extensive fire raged
near Sliamon for several weeks. Tht Hastings
Mill has its camp F here, and the fire shut off
from the shore the logging crew working in
the bush. The engines were got on board the
train, and a run made through the fire, which
resulted in all the men losing hair, whiskers,
and clothes. Bull’s camp at Serge Narrows
was burned out, with a loss of $6,000, and

little fellows on the other side of the line is that they
g0 into the shingle business, many of them, with little
other asset than a superabundance of egclism, and
then when things do not ‘‘pan out” as well as they had
expected, they have got to find some cause; and did
you ever know of a case where one of these fellows
ever traced the cause back to himself? I knew you
didn’t! If you could cite such a case that man would
not be in the same catagory as our egotistic brother,
who is invariable at variance with his men.

When I came to British Columbia, a little less than
three years ago, I was told by several of those colicy
fellows that it was an altogether different Proposition
to handle a crew of men here to what it was in the
east, and that I was accepting a very unenviable posi-
tion—the supervision of the largest shingle mill on
the coast; that I would find gray hair coming in
my head faster than it ever did before; men were a
different class from the eastern men, and would not
listen to any reason, but would do this and that,
and I don’t know what they wouldn't do—anything but
what was right. These little fellows with the inward
pain would not accept my position under any consider-
ation—money wouldn't hire them. Why, it would drive
a man crazy! It was really more than they could stand
in their own little Capacity. I, nevertheless, had the
temerity to undertake the position, and have been able
to hold it to the present time, and see no reason why I
should not hold it for some time to come. The Capacity
of this mill is about a million shingles a day. I have

WHY B.C. SHINGLES ARE SUPERIOR.
VANCOUVER, B. C., September 13th, 1904.
Editor CaNADA LUMBERMAN :

DEAR Sir,—We find in the September number of THE
LUMBERMAN an article copied from the Pacific Coast
Lumber Trade Journal which conveys the idea to the
readers of THE LUMBERMAN that British Columbia
shingles are strictly a Japanese product, for it says:
‘““ Without going into the merits of the controversy that
has been raging at Olympia and other places in this
state relative to the employment of Japanese shingle
weavers, it can be truthfully stated that the Japanese
crews employed in the British Columbia mills turn out a
better grade of shingles than the white labor employed
on this side of the line,” etc. This writer still further
goes on to say that the trouble with white labor is that
they labor too much with their jaw, and not enough
with their brow.

While we must admit that things do not run just as
smoothly on the other side of the line as they do in
British Columbia mills, yet we do not feel inclined to
attribute this to the inequality of white labor on that
side of the line, as compared with Japs. And certainly
not tothe merits of the alleged Japanese shingle
weavers” on this side, for a Japanese shingle weaver
(sawyer) is a prodigy as yet undeveloped in the British
Columbia mills. At any rate I have not yet seen one. -

I think that a great deal of the trouble with those

all white sawyers and never had anything else, and
must say that I have never had better satisfaction with
men anywhere than have had in British Columbia.
I think we can, therefore, adduce from this that there
is some other cause for the continuous ructions in the
shingle business on the other side of the line than the
alleged incompetence of white labor. ;

The trouble with our friends across the line is, when
they build a little mill they want to crowd it up to
about double its capacity. It is quantity, not quality,
with them. With us here in British Columbia it is just
the reverse ; it is quality, quality, quality. These are
our three essentials. Our Washington brethren have
awakened to the real'zation of the fact that they are
up against a hard proposition when they have to com-
pete with the British Columbia shingle, and right here
is where the shoe pinches them. It is not that the
Washington mills, generally speaking, are animated
with a desire to put a better shingle on the market—a
shingle that will be a just equivalent for an honest dol-
lar ; this is not what is giving them pain, it is the fact
that such a shingle is being put on the market by the
British Columbia mills, or at least, some of them, and
they (our Washington brethren) have got to compete
or go out of business. It is rather amusing, too, to see
them come over here and go through our mills, and
look over our shingles. They are trying hard to catch
on. I have known some of them to take home a half
dozen shingles from this mill for samples. These are
the fellows who blame white labor for their poor shin-
gles, when the fact is they have to come over here
themselves to find out what a good shingle is.

Mr. J. B. Jackson, Commercial Agent for Leeds and
Hui, England, in a report to the Department of Trade
and Commerce, Ottawa, gives the following particulars
of the demand for doors, mouldings, and inside finish:

Building operations are very active here at present,
and a very large number of new houses are being built
in all the large centres in this district, and there is a
brisk demand for ready-made doors, mouldings and
lumber for inside finishing. The price for doors and
mouldings (wholesale) is as follows :—

oak in the expensive houses is always painted and never

good outlook for inside wood-work in such woods as

and left in the’natural colour. There is an exceedingly
good outlook for cherry or some wood of that

The Canadian High Commissioner, London, England,
reports as follows : 5

Rox SHOOKs. —A very considerable business is to be
done in box-shooks in a knock down condition when
supplies are available for export. An important enquiry
has also been received from South Wales for elm boxes
suitable for packing tin plates and block plates What
are required are elm boxes in the standard sizes, ready
cut to be nailed together here. The total output of the
Welsh tin-plate works is very considerable, and a fair
proportion of the wood needed would be of the stan-
dard sizes. Advertising tor these boards has only
elicited one reply from Canada, and this was unaccept-

_ able, as a different wood was offered, whereas elm is

the only variety suitable for the purpose.

Woop Fisre.—There has been some difficulty in
procuring for correspondents on this side the names of
Canadian houses actually in a position to export wood
fibre, an article tor which there is a good demand if

“Box Boarps.—An ever-increasing demand exists in
the Manchester district for box-boards, and prefer-
ence in all cases for a Canadian supply is shown. Or-
ders have been entrusted to Canadian mills and insome
cases dissatisfaction has resulted, and I think I am
justified in quoting from a letter of recent date received
from large soap and chemical manutacturers who say :

“We have had several consignments from different
Canadian mills; the results as tar as we personally are
concerned have not been satisfactory, owing (1) to the
want of uniformity in the cutting and the variation in
the thicknesses. (2) The fact that deliveries have been
most irregular, and consequently even if the quality
was satisfactory, it would be impossible for us to de-
pend on such sources of supply for any considerable
proportion of our total consumption. We shall be glad
to go into this matter with you at any time, if there is
reasonable probability of these difficulties being over-
It is hardly necessary for us to add that the
consumption by the soap trade alone is sufficiently
large in this country to make it worth while going into
the matter, and that on level terms we should undoubt-
edly give the preference to a British source of supply.”

SEMI-READY HOUSES.

An exhibit which could not fail to attract the
notice of all visitors to the Winnipeg Dominion
Exhibition was that ot the British Columbia
Mills, Timber and Trading Company, Limited.
Standing boldly out in line with the colonade
facade of the Exhibition buildings, could be
seen a fine row of cottages looking, with their
pertectly finished exteriors, as though a village
scene had been planted in the very midst of the
Exhibition. This exhibit consisted of five
houses erected on a long raised platform, so
as to bring them into better prominence.
They were brought from British Columbia by
this company in sections ready for erection,

shingles throughout, and presents an attractive
and comfortable appearance. It is most sub-
stantially built, and calculated to withstand all
the rigor of the cold climate. There were a
series of cottages designed ta meet the needs
of the home-steader, miner, or rancher, and

whilst being particularly easy of erection, they
are at the same time warm in winter and cool
in summer, the same details for protection be-
ing carried out as were explained for the more
imposing buildings. Another was a very hand-
some house suitable for town use ; it has a bay
window front with porch and balcony, and a
concave roof, with wide eaves, giving it a partic-
ularly pleasing appearance, and was greatly
admired by those interested in building.

These houses are made in British Coumbia,
all the many parts being carefully numbered so
that the veriest novice should make no mistake
in their erection. The inside finish was carried
out in various styles, one was plastered and
then decorated, another was lined with 34
tongued and groved boards, canvased and pa-
pered, to show the result when plaster was not
available. The enquires for these houses were
very numerous and the company are making
preparations for anextensive trade. The range
of houses as they stood was sold several times
over. The head office of the British Columbia
Mills, Timber & Trading Company is at Van-
couver, B. C., their Winnipeg branch being
located at 64 Merchants Bank Building.

ADVERTISING RATES ON APPLICATION.

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN is published in the interests of the
lumber, wood-working and allied industries, being the only
representative in Canada of these important interests. It aims
at giving full and timely information on all subjects touching
these interests, and invites free discussion by its readers,

Especial-pains are taken to secure for publication in the
WEEKLY LUMBERMAN the latest and most trustworthy market
quotations throughout the world, so as to afford to the trade at
home and abroad information on which it can rely in its
operations. Subscribers will find the small amount they pay
for the CANADA LUMBERMAN quite insignificant as compared
with its value tothem. There is not an individual in the trade,
or specially interested in it, who should not be on our list, thus
obtaining the present benefit and aiding and encouraging us to
render it even more complete. } ;

Advertisers will receive careful attention and liberal treat-
ment. For manufacturing and supply firms wishing to bring
their goods to the attention of owners and operators of saw
and pianeng mills, wood-working factories, pulp mulls, etc.
the CANADA LUMBERMAN is undoubtedly the cheapest and
most profitable advertising medium. Special attention is
dicected: to ‘‘WANTED” and ‘‘ For SALE” advertisements, which
are inserted in a conspicuous position on front page of the
Weekly Edition.

JUSTICE TO HOME INDUSTRIES.

The buyer and consumer of lumber should
be sufficiently loyal to his country to purchase
his requirements from the home manufacturer
whenever he can do so with no disadvantage
to himself. In these days of keen competition
it is a rare exception to find a person who is
loyal at the expense of his pocket, and who is
willing to pay a higher price for a home manu-
factured article than for an imported article of
equal quality. If, however, the home product
can be obtained upon as favorable terms, there
is absolutely no excuse for a merchant or con-
sumer contributing to. the prosperity of manu-
facturers in foreign countries.

It will be noticed that the lumber imports
from the United States are steadily increasing.
Why this should be the case is not clear. Is it
not reasonable to. expect that manufacturers
who have invested large sums of money in
logging equipment and saw mill plant, and
are giving employment to Canadian work-
men, should receive the patronage of Cana-
dians? We do not think that this fact can be
too strongly emphasized. The saw mill capacity
of Western Canada is now sufficient to more
than supply the lumber demand of that district,
and there is absolutely no reason for the im-
portation of American lumber. The British
Columbia lumber and shingle manufacturers
having acquired a reputation for the excellence
of their product, there need be no fear on that
ground. In the advertisement pages of this
journal there are to be found the announce-
ments of many of the largest and most pro-
gressive manufacturers of British Columbia
and the Lake-of-the-Woods district, and we
strongly advise all prospective buyers of lum-
ber, shingles and other mill products, to give
them the opportunity of figuring on their spec-
ifications before placing their orders for Ameri-

can lumber. It should not be forgotten that
United States lumber is shipped into Canada
free of duty, whereas Canadian lumber exported
to our southern neighbors is taxed to the ex-
tent of $2 per thousand feet. Is the Canadian
manufacturer, therefore, not entitled to consid-
eration at the hands of the Canadian dealer or
consumer ? :

BOX SHOOKS IN DEMAND.

Does not the manufacture of box shooks
offer a promising field for expansion? Con-
sidering the large number of white pine and
spruce mills, there are very few shook plants.
In addition to supplying the home demand, as
is now done, we should do a large export
trade, for there is a wide market for such
goods, particularly in Great Britain. A com-
munication which we recently received from a
London importing firm shows, first, that there
is a large demand for box shooks,and, second-
ly, that under equal conditions Canadian man-
ufacturers will in some cases at least be given
the preference. We quote from their letter :
‘“We have been engaged in the box shook
business for some time and have a very exten-
sive connection with the large manufacturers
of soap, candles, sugar, canned milk, biscuits,
etc., using imported shooks in spruce and pine
for packing purposes. Our great difficulty has
been to find manufacturers on your side capable
ot supplying the wood, which has to be cut to
specification and bundled in the usual way and
then shipped to our large importing centres by
regular liners. There is an enormous business
to be done and we ourselves could place orders
at current prices for many millions of teet. Our
manufacturers generally are in favor of giving
preference to colonial sources of supply, but
owing to the difficulty in getting the business
properly taken up in Canada by able and re-
sponsible parties, a large proportion of the
orders are placed in Norway and Sweden.”
Any of our readers who may be interested will
be given the nam2 and address of the firm upen
request.

“WHITE PINE AS A MARKET FACTOR.

It must be evident to all who have kept in
touch with the lumber production that white
pine is no longer the important factor it
once was in the North American lumber mar-
ket. The maximum of production was
reached some years ago, and it would appear
that the period of decline which then com-
menced is likely to continue for some time yet:
The States of Michigan, Wisconsin and Min-
nesota comprise the leading centre of the
white pine industry, and it is in these States
that the declining tendency has been most
noticeable. Since 1872 there has been ‘cut in
these three States 90,000,000,000 feet of white
and Norway pine, the summit of production
for one year being reached in 1890. Since the
same year the entire Northern pine production
has Leen'upwards of 190,000,000,000 feet. Even
during the hard times from 1893 to 1897, the
yearly output averaged nearly 7,000,000,000
feet, whereas last year with the added stimulus
of prosperous times and an active demand for
lumber, the production fell to below 5,000,-
000,000 feet.

been the case.

Mr. Rhodes, secretary of the Mississippi —
Valley Lumbermen’s Association, in a recent —
report, draws attention to the heavy produc- —
tion of other woods last year in contrast to
that of pine. The increase in the production
of southern pine over the year before was
more than 500,000,000 feet, and the increase
in the hemlock output has been even more
rapid. In 1897 there was produced in Wis-
consin and Michigan 462,000,000 feet of hem-
lock ; in 1903 it was 1,500,000,000 feet.

the Pacific Coast States last year 4,500,000,000 _
feet of lumber, Thus, while the production of
white pine has declined as the result of the
exhaustion of the forests, other kinds of lum- —
ber have been produced in larger quantities, —
and have been sold in channels and for pur- ‘
poses where a few years ago white pine alone —
was known.

While white pine has lost ground so far as
the volume of output is concerned, it must be
admitted that it still holds its advantage from
the standpoint of popular fasor. Perhaps
never in the history of the white pine trade
has competition from other lumber been so
severe as during the past summer, yet prices
declined very little. While yellow pine and
Pacific Coast lumber were sold at a reduction
of from $4 to $8 per thousand under their
average, the decline in white pine did not
average more than $2. This circumstance —
demonstrates clearly that white pine still —
occupies an invulnerable position and that it
can maintain its supremacy even under con- —
ditions of severe competition from the cheaper
woods. 5

The decreased production of the past few ~
years emphasizes the intrinsic value of stand-
ing white pine, and a conservative policy of —
operations should be followed by all owners of
pine limits. Whether or not there exists —
necessity for curtailment, such a course is ad-
visable, for the timber is certain to greatly
appreciate in value if left in the tree, while if
cut it may have to be sold in a sluggish
market.

ADJUSTMENT OF FREIGHT RATES,

When the Dominion Transportation Com-
missiop was created it was generally known
that there was a large field for its labors, for
the transportatian problem had become one of _
The need of such
a Commission has been demonstrated by the
results which have already been accomplished. _
The lumber trade, in its broadest sense, is as
much indebted to the Commission as perhaps
any other branch of industry, and before the
final summing up there promises to be still a
more reason for gratification. It has long
been the claim of lumbermen that unfair
freight discrimination existed, and the investi- +
gations of the Commission prove such to have —

ber. After taking evidence, the Railway Com-
mission issued an order that the railway com-
panies cease from levying tolls on cedar pro-
ducts, and that such products shall be added
to the list of commodities which are included
in the term ‘‘ common Iumber”’ and are classi-
fied tenth class in carloads. It is the general
opinion of the lumber trade that the object of
such discrimination against cedar products
was to enable the railway companies to pur-
chase cedar ties, posts, etc., for their own use
upon more favorable terms than if they could
be exported at a low rate of freight.

The rates charged for the transportation of
_cooperage stock formed another subject for in-
vestigation. Until recently the rate on
cooperage stock from the Western Ontario
mills to Montreal was 16% cents per one
hundred pounds to Montreal, both for local
and export, including terminals and cartage.
This rate, which was in effect for several
years, was increased by the railroad companies
to 18 cents for local consumption, not includ-
ing cartage, and 19% cents for export, in-
cluding terminals. The evidence submitted
showed that the export business was falling
off owing to the increase in rates, and that
cooperage stock which was formerly shipped
to England from points in Western Ontario is
now being shipped from mills in Indiana and
Louisiana through Baltimore, New York and
New Orleans, owing to the more favorable
freight rates given by the American roads;
also that the result of the increase had been to
displace cooperage stock in favor of cotton
bags at the Montreal flour mills and refineries.
The Commissioners decided against the rail-
roads by reducing the rates to 16% cents for
local consumption and 18 cents for export, in-
cluding terminals. While the rates were not
restored to the former basis, the cooperage
_ stock manufacturers are satisfied with the de-

cision reached by the Commission.
The case submitted to the Commission by
the British Columbia Lumber & Shingle Manu-
facturers’ Association was one affecting diver-
sified interests. The manufacturers of the
Coast requested that the freight rate from
coast points on clear cedar and fir be made
identical and that the same rate be given on
these commodities from coast points to Mani-
_toba and the Territories as is given from the
mountain mills of British Columbia. The
mountain, or interior, mills are given a straight
rate of 33 cents on all classes of lumber to
Winnipeg, whereas the coast mills must pay
40 cents on fir and 50 cents on cedar. Argu-
ments in favor of a readjustment of the rate
were presented by the coast manufacturers,
while the mountain manufacturers appeared
before the Commission with evidence in justifi-
_ cation of the discrimination. The mountain

manufacturers claimed that they were entitled
_ to a lower freight rate on account of the short-
_erhaul, the inferior class of timber and the
consequent lower prices to be obtained for
3 their product. The decision of the Commis-
sioners is anxiously awaited.

THE HOO-HOO ANNUAL.

The thirteenth annual meeting of the Hoo-Hoo
Order, which was held at St. Louis, Mo., on Thursday
and Friday, September 8 and 9, was one of the most
important in the history of the organization. There
were upwards of 500 Hoo-Hoo present. The limit of
membership, 9,999, having about been reached, the
important question of raising the limit was considered,
with the result that a resoluticn was adopted extending
the number to 99,999. Sentiment was overwhelming by
in favor of this change. Another importart conclusion
reached was to introduce a system of insurance into the
Order. It was resolved to adopt a proposition subrnit-
ted by W. E. Nichols, of the New York Life Insurance
Company. The proposition in brief 1s to insure the
members of Hoo-Hoo for any amount not less than
$999.99 without the requirement of a physical examina-
tion, provided 70 per cent. of the membership is secur-
ed. In addition, the company agrees to give the Order
40 per cent. of the first year’s premiums as a joint
agent's commission, the fund to go into the general
treasury of the Order. It is not compulsory on any
member to take insurance, and if 70 per cent. of the
members do not insure, the entire scheme fails.

The report of Supreme Scrivenoter J. H. Baird
showed that the receipts for the year ending Septem-
ber 9, 1904, had been $28,248.36, and the disburse-
ments $22,101.48, leaving a cash balance on hand of
$6,146.88. There were held during the year 117 con-
catenations, concerning which the Scrivenoter says :
“Tt will be seen that the American Flag will have to
make a salute to the Cross of St. George, since the
largest number of initiates falls to the credit of Vice-
gerent W.C. Laidlaw, of the Eastern District of
Canada, being six concatenations with 133 initiates.

The Scrivenoter read the following communication
from Jamie ‘‘Hoot Mon” Lightbody, of Glasgow,
Scotland, who was initiated in Toronto May 27th,
1904, and was the first member of the Order in Scot-
land.

The reading of the poem eiicited much applause.

There was no contest for the Supreme Nine except
for the office of Snark of the Universe, for which Chas.
D. Rourke, of Petersburg, Ill., and Frank N. Snell, of
Milwaukee, were nominated. Mr. Rourke was suc-
cessful by a vote of nearly twoto one. The other officers
elected were :

Gurdon—Gardiner I. Jones, Boston, Mass.
It was decided to hold the next annual in Portland,
Oregon. Perhaps Toronto in 1906.

HOO-HOO FUNCTION AT SARNIA.

There was a great gathering of Hoo-Hoo in Sarnia
on Friday, September 2nd, and a number of kittens
were added to the black cat family. Great Snark W,
C. Laidlaw, of Toronto, was present to look
after the kittens. Mr. Charles Hadley, of Chatham,
was also in evidence. Mr. J. M. Diver, the oldest
Hoo-Hoo in Canada, was in charge of the local ar-
rangements, which was a guarantee that everything
would be carried out in proper style. Mr. Geo. Belton,
his first lieutenant, lent charm to the occasion and
assisted in the proceedings, while Mr. Findley Mc-
Gibbon was a whole host in himself. The afternoon
was spent in looking round the town and in arranging
for the evening’s proceedings, the cats and kittens rid-
ing to the sawmills on a tour of inspection in the Hoo-
Hoo cab, which consisted of a stick of timber from the
Cleveland-Sarnia Saw Mills Company measuring 20
inches square and 41 feet, six inches long, with a foot
rest along each side consisting of a 3x9 inch joist 41
feet in length.

Two teams of draft horses from the mills, decorated
with flags, hauled the big stick, which contained 1,383
feet, and was mounted on four heavy wheels.

The proceedings took place in the C.O.F. hall.
About sixty pur-blind kittens were introduced into the

mysteries of Hoo-Hoo, among them being Chas.
Mackenzie, S. P. W. Cooke, A. D. Morrow, P. L.
Patterson, A. S. Hill, Jas. Murdoch, W..F. Cameron,
C. E. Stoody, F. J. Loughead, F. F. Pardee, J. J.
Shortreed and W. M. Hood, of Sarnia; and D. A.
Leitch, of Ridgetown.

At the conclusion of the ceremonies the party ad-
journed to the Vendome Hotel, where an elaborate
banquet was held.

The following poems were contributed by a local
composer :

of the Hoo-Hoo deity.

honored by election as one of the Supreme Nine.

headquarters as far back as 1897. The plant,
consisting of a saw and planing mill, occupies
a site of 10 acres along the shores of the
Upper Arrow Lake. It is splendidly situated
and possesses connection with the main line of
the C. P. R. by boat to Arrowhead, and the
Crow’s Nest Pass Railroad by a line from .
Nakusp to Roseberry, boat from Roseberry to
Slocan City and thence by railroad to Nelson.

The mill is 30x130 feet in dimensions and is
equipped with circular saw, edger, trimmer
and the various other requisites of a first-class
plant. The planing mill attached is equip
with tour planers, surfacer, matchers, Sticker,
band resaw and rip saw. The log deck is.
equipped with steam kickers, loaders and
niggers, the carriages being worked by a
steam feed. au

Power for driving the machinery is obtain-—

ed from two 90 h. p. boilers and two 90 h. p.
engines. Electric light is supplied by an engine
and dynamo. Nearly all the machinery was
supplied by the Wm. Hamilton Company, of
Peterborough, Ont.

Situated twenty yards from the mill is a dry
kiln 75x30 feet for drying the finer. grades of
lumber, all the rest of the output, which
averages 50,000 feet per day, being piled in
the yard and sheds.

Most ot the output is marketed in the
Slocan district, Northwest Territories, Mani-
toba and Ontario, the company’s mouldings
and rough and dressed lumber being in high
favor in the districts enumerated. A very
large trade is carried on with the C. P. R.
and other companies in cedar and fir piles,
telephone and telegraph poles, fence posts
and ties for the railroad.

THE ROBSON MILL

- Situated three miles above West Robson,

on the Columbia, is almost an exact reproduc-
tion of the one already described, the capacity
being 40,000 ft. per day.

THE CASCADE MILL

-is situated one mile west of Cascade on the
Kettle River. It possesses a capacity of
25,000 feet per day and does a large trade

, among the mines of the Boundary, besides
' shipping considerable stock to the Northwest.

THE NELSON MILL

was built last year, at a cost of $30,000, right
on the wharf where direct communication is
obtained with the Crow’s Nest Road. It is
fitted up with all the requisites of a modern
plant, the machinery being supplied by the
Wm. Hamilton Company, Peterboro, and the
~ Waterous Engine Works Company, Brantford.
Mr. Jos. Genelle was raised in Ontario and
has for 30 years been engaged in the trade.
He came to British Columbia in 1886 shortly
after the completion of the C. P. R., and built
mills at Shuswap Lake and Sprout’s Landing
on Columbia River, just lately disposing of
these properties to the Columbi« River Lum-
- ber Company. Mr. Genelle is widely known
in the Kootenays as a man of sterling qualities
both in business-and socially, and it is through
his enterprise that the business has grown to
its present enormous dimensions. He is ably
assisted by Mr. Billings, a young Ontario
gentleman possessed of all the snap and
energy usually associated with the Ontario
people. Coming to British Columbia a tew
years back he at once entered the employ of
Mr. Genelle as secretary, displaying such
ability as to be soon sought by the various
lumber companies around, finally being per-
suaded to join hands with the Columbia River
Lumber Company. He stayed with them for
_ a year or more, leaving them in 1901 to enter
into partnership with the present company.
Any person who is interested in the lumber
business or in western Canada’s thriving in-
dustries will be amply repaid by a visit to any
of the company’s up-to-date establishments.

fever, after two weeks’ illness. He was 30 years of age.

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN

THE SEASONING OF TIMBER.

The object of seasoning timber is either to
expel or evaporate the sap remaining in it,
which otherwise putrifies and induces decay.

One of the effects of seasoning is to mater-
ially reduce the weight at the time, and this
reduction of weight is, to some extent, an indi-
cation of the success of the process. Tredgold
calls timber seasoned when it has lost one-
fifth of its weight, and says it is then fit for
carpenters’ work and general purposes. The
same authority gives it as dry when it has lost
one-third of its weight, when it is fit for
joiners’ work and framing. The exact loss of
weight is dependent of course upon the nature
of the timber and its state before seasoning.
One method of facilitating seasoning and pre-
venting checking of valuable timber in the log,
is to have an auger hole through the centre
of the log from end to end. Natural seasoning
of the ordinary kinds of lumber is carried out
by a system of stacking in such a way that the
air can circulate freely around each piece, but
it must be protected by some kind of roof from
rain and sun. When logs are stacked tor
seasoning it is usual to keep the top ends
slightly raised; this in reality is for convenience
in taking out any particular piece required.
Some authorities claim that timber will season
much better and quicker by being stood up on
end, but this is hardly practicable on account
of the difficulty in raising and retaining such
heavy masses of timber. According to some
good authorities the time for seasoning thor-
oughly is about as follows, the material being
protected from the weather by sheds:

It is found that it the material is kept longer
than the periods named the fine shakes which
show upon the surface in seasoning will open
deeper and wider, until they render the stick
unfit for any fine class of work.

Experience shows that when the seasoning
process is carried on under suitable cover the
time required is about five-sevenths that of
seasoning in the open.

Water seasoning consists in totally sub-
merging the timber as soon as cut, it being
chained down for some two weeks, during which
time the greater part of the sap is driven out
by the action of the water. Itis then removed
and exposed to the air, being carefully turned
each day, till thoroughly dry ; when seasoned
in this way the timber ts not so liable to warp
and check, but as the presence of the sap in
the stick increases its strength and elasticity,
this process must necessarily weaken it for
some purposes. Care has to be taken to see

- that the log is kept fully submerged, as in the
event of a portion being exposed to the air the
timber suffers along the water line. Another
precaution is necessary where water seasoning
is employed—the saturated timber must be al-
lowed ample time in which to dry before being
put to use, because if taken from the water
straight to the saw and used wet dry rot will
quickly appear in it.

17

Saturation in salt water has the effect of
hardening the timber, also making it heavier
and more durable, but is undesirable for ordi-
nary building purposes, as it causes a tendency
to attract moisture.

Boiling water, according to Tredgold, quick-
ens the operation of seasoning and causes the
timber to shrink less, but is expensive to use
The
time required varies with the size and density
of the material, and according to circum-
stances, one rule being to allow one hour for
every inch in thickness.

Steaming has much the same effect upon
timber as boiling, but is said to accelerate the
drying process, and by some authorities is
considered as a preventative to dry rot.

and reduces its strength and elasticity.

Hot air seasoning or dessication is effected
by exposing the timber to a current of hot air
in a kiln, by which means the sap is entirely
dried up, this process taking only a compara-
tively short time, according to the sizes of the
pieces ; when the wood is very green the heat
in the kiln must be turned in gradually, or the
timber will be checked and injured. Britton
gives the opinion that this form of seasoning is
only useful for comparatively small sizes, as
the expense of applying it to large timber is
very great ; moreover, as wood is one of the
worst conductors of caloric, if this plan be
applied to large logs the interior fibres still
retain their original bulk, while those near the
surface have a tendency to shrink, the conse-
quence of which is to cause cracks and shakes
to appear of more or less depth. Dessicated
wood must not be exposed to any moisture
before use. Laslett claims that during this
process ordinary varieties of wood lose their
strength and colored woods become pale and
wanting in lustre.

McNeile’s process, which consists of expos-
ure to a moderate heat in a moist atmosphere
charged with various gases, produced by the
combustion of the fuel, has been in operation
for some years ; the material is placed in a
brick chamber containing a large surface of
water to produce evaporation, the timber is
stacked in the usual way with free air space

' round each piece, calculating about one-third

of the chamber space for air; under the cham-
ber is the furnace, which circulates the pro-
ducts of the combustion (among which is car-
bonic acid gas) freely ina moist state around
the contents. The time required varies with
the nature of the wood. Oak, ash, mahogany
and other hard wood planks, three inches
thick, take about eight weeks ; flooring boards
and panelling about ten days or two weeks.

The greener the timber when first put into

‘the kiln the better, and asa rule, if too great

heat be not applied, not a single piece of sound
timber is even split or warped or checked in
any way. The wood is rendered harder,
denser and tougher, and dry rot is entirely
prevented. The wood will not absorb by sub-
sequent exposure to the atmosphere nearly so
much moisture as if dried by exposure in the
ordinary way. Hence it is better than air -
dried wood for all purposes, and the process

seems to have no injurious effects upon the ap- ~

pearance or strength of the timber.—North-
west Contractor. ‘

FRANCE WANTS WET PULP IN ROLLS.

Mr. A. Poindron, Canadian Commercial
Agent at Paris, France, writes to the Depart-
ment of Trade and Commerce as follows :

‘‘ What the French paper manufacturer re-
quires is a good fibrous pulp which will give
him the least possible trouble to manufacture
into paper and the least possible loss through
breaches of the fibre, and in both senses they
are inclined to give the preference to the wet
pulp sheets over the dry sheets, and to the
wet pulp sheets in rolls over the wet pulp in
boards.

‘“The Canadian wet pulp manufacturers
ship yearly largy quantities of their products
to Great Britain, and the Canadian statistics
show that during the fiscal year 1903 they
have exported pulp to England to the value
of $1,129,173. In fact, the rates of freight
from Canada to British ports are altogether
higher than the rates from Sweden and Nor-
way to the same ports, and if Canadian pulp
manufacturers can afford to export to Great
Britain in competition with Sweden and Nor-
through cheaper cost of
manufacturing the chemical pulp in Canada,
they can counterbalance the extra cost of
ocean transportation to Great Britain, This
would also be possible so far as French ports
are concerned.

‘“‘ The Canadian pulp manufacturers, when
asked from France for quotations c.i.f. a

way, it is likely that,

French port not in direct communication with
Canda by a regular line of steamers, should
always figure on large quantities and specify
the same in quoting, as the cheap. transporta-
tion required by wood pulp exports does not
Quotations applying
to deliveries in the ports of Dunkirk, Rouen,
Nantes, Marseilles, which are not yet regu-
larly connected direct with Canada, but which
are the nearest ports for a number of the
large importing manufacturers,’are frequently
wanted. For full cargo quantities, satisfac-
tory quotations to the above ports, either by
tramp or by sailors, would likely be obtain-
able from any of the Canadian ship-brokers. I
beg to add that contracts for full cargo deliv-
eries are currently obtainable in France. As
concerns Le Havre and La Pallice deliveries,
Canadian manufacturers, through the existing
direct steamship connections, are now in a
suitable situation to book smaller orders or
periodical delivery contracts.

“In brief, if the export of wood pulp does
not develop, it is not owing to want of atten-
tion on behalf of French importers, but owing
only to want of offerings on behalf of Cana-
dian exporters. When the prices offered in
Great Britain are low, they undertake to give
a little more attention to the French outlet,
but, unfortunately, when such is the case, as
Canadian exporters have no steady agents ap-

allow for transhipment.

pointed in France nor connections previously
worked, they try to rush by correspondence,
dealing with people who don’t know them,
don’t know their goods or what they are able
to manufacture.”

INCREASED COST OF PULP WOOD.

Paper manufacturers are pointing to the
gradual increase in the cost of pulp wood since
1898 as a justification of the higher prices for
paper. By way of comparison it is cited by
United States paper manufacturers that, while
previous to 1898 their supply of domestic pulp
wood cost them, delivered at the mills, between
$5 and $6 per cord, the present cost of wood is
between $7 and $8 delivered. A corresponding
advance has also taken place in the cost of
Canadian pulp wood. Rough spruce logs that
used to cost from $3 to $4 per cord f. o. b.
cars, are now quoted at from $4.50 to $5.°
Peeled spruce wood, that sold for $3.50 to
$4.50 per cord five years ago, is now selling
at from $5.50 to $6 per cord f.0.b. cars. Pop-
lar logs in the United States, that used to cost
$6 per cord and less delivered, now cost the
paper manufacturers nearer $g per cord.
Canadian poplar has advanced from $3 to
$3.50 to $5.50 and $6 f.o.b. cars. Besides
the increased cost of the wood freight rates
have also advanced within the same time.
But, notwithstanding the increased cost of
their raw material, it is claimed that the selling
price of paper has not advanced proportionate-
ly. ;
Speaking in regard to pulp wood and its in-
creased cost, an authority on the subject ex-
plains the advance as follows :—‘‘ Previous to
1898 the situation in the various lines of trade
for a number of years had been unsatisfactory.
As a result of the depression the lumber busi-
ness was in a bad way. Because of the low
prices many sellers of lumber had to discon-
tinue business. Pulp wood was, therefore,
cheap, as every timber land owner who hap-
pened to need some cash sold his wood. It
was his best asset upon which to get a ready
return in cash. Times were so hard that there
was an over supply of wood for sale. Natur-
ally the price of lumber and pulp wood de-
clined. Beginning in 1898, however, the
Spanish war gave an impetus to general busi-
ness, and the price of lumber, in common with
every other commodity, began to advance.
Timber that had been costing $12 to $13 per
thousand feet advanced to $18 to $20 per
thousand feet. In this connection I want to
state that the idea that pulp wood is not suit-
able for any other purpose than to be ground
into pulp is erroneous. In the absence there-
fore of a splendid supply of cheap pulp wood
the buyers had to bid on the better material,
and of course had to pay correspondingly for

THE PULP INDUSTRY IN BRITISH COLUMBIA. —

The pulp industry will soon be an important —
one in British Columbia. The Quatsino Power
and Pulp Company, which has 125 square miles
of the finest timber on the west shore of Van-
couver island, will commence the construction
of a mill before January next, the papers, itis
stated, being signed. Mr. J. A. Moore, of the —
Moore Investment Company, of Seattle, is
largely interested in this company.

Other Seattle people compose the Bella Coola
Power and Pulp Company, and Mr. A. E.
Williams, manager, and Mr. R. M. Thompson,
secretary, have just returned to Vancouver from
a season’s survey and cruising of the limits.
Work will be resumed in the early spring,
when a saw mill will be erected first.

The Pacific Coast Wood Pulp & Paper Com- —
pany has large limits near Powell river, about
80 miles north of Vancouver on the mainland
coast, and the company is now beim floated in
London.

The Oriental Power and Pulp Comany has
already its buildings at Swanson Bay under
way, and will be manufacturing inside of a —
year and a/half. Its concession contains 83,-
ooo acres. This is a subsidiary company of
the Caniadian Financial Syndicate.

SISSIBOO PULP PROPERTY SOLD.
The Sissiboo Pulp and Paper Company's properties,
situated at Weymouth, Nova Scotia, were sold at fore-
closure sale in Digby by Deputy Sheriff Burnham on —
September 13th, and were bought by Mr. A. G. Ross,
of Montreal, manager of the National Trust Company,
the plaintiffs in the suit ,on behalf of the bond-holders.
Among those present and bidding were Messrs. W. G.
Clarke, of Clarke Bros., Bear River, and G. D. Camp-
bell, of G. D. Campbell & Co., Weymouth. The
properties comprise about 25,000 acres of good
timber land covered with spruce, pine, hemlock
and hardwood, two pulp mills equipped with eleven
grinders, compressors, wet machines, and all the
necessary appliances, a large dam constructed of —
solid masonry, one of the best in the province, a long
wharf at Weymouth Bridge with a large warehouse
shed 50 by 200 feet, offices, stores, smithy, dwelling
house, village lots, etc. The Sissiboo Pulp and Paper
Company was incorporated in .899 with $250,000 bond
issues. Upwards of $300,000 was expended in ac-
quiring the limits, the mill sites, the construction of
dams and plant, and machinery equipment. Owing to
the unfortunate flood of 1901 and the general depres-
sion ie the pulp trade the concern was forced tO sus-
pend operations.

PULP NOTES.

Great Britain’s imports of wood pulp are steadily in- —
creasing, as the following figures show: 1901, 448,455
tons; 1902, 525,799 tons; 1903, 576,003 tons. —

The Laurentide Pulp Company, of Grand Mere, —
Que., recently reduced their dividend from 8 to 6 per
cent. annually. The higher dividend was paid during 4
the years 1901, 1902 and 1903.

The Pentecost Lumber Company have inaugurated
exte .sive plans to supply the pulp and paper mills of
Northern New York with pulp wood from their timber _
limits in Quebec. Cape Vincent, N.Y., has been made _
the receiving point, and storage ground for 10,000 —
cords of wood has been acquired. The wood will be —
‘taken from the ships by conveyors, operated by =
tricity.

_ THE FIRST SAW MILL IN NEW BRUNSWICK.

W. O. Raymond, L. L. D., writing in the
St. John Telegraph on ‘‘Early History of New
Brunswick Families,” says concerning the first
saw mill in New Brunswick :

“The reference to a mill, built by the broth-
ers Louis and Mathieu d’Amours in the neigh-
borhood of Fort Nashwaak, may serve to ex-
plain the statement of Villebon in 1696, that
he had caused planks for madriers, or gun
platforms, to be made near the fort. This
mill at any rate ante-dates by the best part of
acentury the mill built by Simonds & White
at St. John in 1767 and that built by Colonel
Beamsley Glasier’s mill-wrights at the Nash-
waak in 1768. Doubtless it was a very primi-
tive affair, but it sawed lumber, and was in its
modest way the pioneer of the greatest manu-

facturing industry of New Brunswick at the
present day.”

COLORING WOOD IN THE LOG.

A new Swedish method of coloring wood
clear through, and while in the log, is thus des-
cribed by the Timber Trades Journal of Lon-
don: ‘‘All the sap is expelled and the log is
then treated with chemicals, and the color or
colors are pressed into the wood. Any shade
desired can be obtained, and, in fact, several
colors can be merged one into the other, pro-
ducing a beautiful effect. On cutting up the
samples we received, we found that the color
was evenly distributed all through the fibers,
the grain of the wood giving a very pleasing
effect, especially when polished. The wood,

it is claimed, dries sooner than by ordinary

seasoning, and it can also be rendered fire-
proof by adding special chemicals. Of course,
painting is done away with, so that the natural
structure of the wood is seen to better advant-
age than when painted in the ordinary way.
The coloring is, we understand, free from
arsenic and quite harmless. The colors do not
fade, and cannot be worn off by rubbing, etc.”

REMOVAL NOTICE.

On the first of Novernber, 1904, the Winnipeg
office of this Journal will be removed to the new
Union Bank Building. This building, which is
just nearing completion, is thoroughly fireproof
and in construction and equipment is the equal
of any on the continent.

A standing invitation is given readers and
friends ofthe Journal to call when in Winnipeg.
Any possible information or assistance will be
gladly furnished them.

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN

MACHINERY HALL AT THE CANADIAN
NATIONAL EXHIBITION, TORONTO.

Upwards of fifty exhibitors were located in
the Machinery Hall at the recent National Ex-
position in Toronto. Taken as a whole, the
exhibit in this building was, without doubt,
superior to that of any previous year both in
point of general attractiveness and the variety
of manufactures shown. The accompanying
panoramic view will give the reader some idea
of the character ot the exhibits as well as of
the general appearance of the building.

The most extensive exhibit was that of the
Canadian General Electric Company and the
Canada Foundry Company. The latter com-
pany exhibited a line of the well-known Northey

pumps, cast iron pipe and special castings,
waterworks supplies, set screws, and other
foundry products.

The Dodge Manufacturing Company, of To-
ronto, had a very interesting exhibit of power
transmission appliances. The shafting shown.
was fitted with the Dodge friction clutch and
attracted much attention. Dodge wood split
pulleys were shown in all sizes, besides a com-
plete line of couplings, hangers, ring, chain,
and capilliary selt-oiling bearings, machine
moulded iron pulleys, etc.

Four belting firms were represented in the
Machinery Hall. The J. C. McLaren Belting
Company, of Montreal and Toronto, showed a
36-inch 2-ply leather belt made for the Inger-
soll Electric Light & Power Company; a 24-

inch belt made for the electric light plant at
Mitchell, Ont., and a 48-inch belt for the First-
brook Box Company, of Toronto. The latter
belt is to operate on a Reeves pulley, which
was shown in the Manufacturers’ Annex.

In the exhibit of D. K. McLaren, of Mon-
treal, were to be seen leather belts of various
sizes, made from oak-tanned leather, also belts
made of a mixture of Batavia and rubber, for
use in exposed places. English card clothing,
cotton mill supplies, belt hooks, etc., were also
shown.

The Dominion Belting Company, of Hamil-
ton, showed a stitched cotton duck belt five
feet wide, of their well-known ‘‘ Maple Leat”
brand, also smaller belts down to 1% inches

wide. The duck from which this class of belt-
ing is made is treated with a special prepara-
tion which gives splendid results.

The Rossendale Belting Company, of Man-
chester,Eng., whose Canadian office is at 59-63
Front street east, Toronio, had an exhibit of
their M. A. Y. solid woven, anti-friction edged
belting and the Jackson patent belt fasteners.

A varied line of goods was shown by the
Fairbanks Company, of Montreal. The list
included their standard scales, asbestos disc
valves, Thompson engine indicators, safety
valves, Foster pressure regulating valves,
steam gauges, gas and gasoline engines of
horizontal and vertical types, Nicholson’s
patent compression couplings, ball and socket
drop hammers, Fair wood split pulleys (made

OcTOBER, 1904

in Canada), compressed steel pulleys, Fair
brand leather belting, Geipel steam traps, Burt
exhaust heads, Warden oil filters and several
other steam specialties.

The power for the main drives in the Ma-
chinery Hall was supplied by two Goldie &
McCulloch engines, one being of the well-
known Wheelock type, the other a high speed
‘‘Ideal” engine. The Goldie & McCulloch
Company also showed a 12-inch 4-sided
moulder, new style power feed cut-off saw, new
30-inch double surface planer, four-sided
moulder and other machines.

The A. R. Williams Machinery Company, of
Toronto, had a good display of iron and wood
working machinery, including a special ma-

chine for the manufacture ot veneer. A num-
ber of circular saws made by the well-known
firm of the E. R. Burns Saw Company, To-
ronto, were also on exhibition.

Babbitt metal comprised the main feature
of the exhibit of the Syracuse Smelting Works,
of Montreal. Their Manganese anti-friction
metal is claimed to have no superior. Speci-
mens of copper ore and the refined product

were shown by their associate company, the

Montreal Copper Company, who were the
first in Canada to produce refined ingot
copper.

Kerr & Goodwin, of Brantford, Ont., had a
very fine exhibit of the ‘‘Imperial” lathe chuck,
and G. S. Sinclair & Sons, of Wiarton, Ont.,
exhibited Sinclair’s patent shatt coupler for the

_—

transmission of power, the salient features of
which are claimed to be safety, no bolts, no
keys, never slips.

A new exhibitor this year was the Georgian
Bay Engineering Works, of Midland, Ont.
Their display was confined to a 4h. p. gaso-
line engine, of simple construction but fully
guaranteed. They manufacture stationary,
portable and marine gasoline -engines for all
purposes, automatic towing machines, mine
hoists and contractors’ plant, and intend this
winter to take up the manufacture of steel
launches.

Another new exhibitor was the Smart-Turner
Machine Company, of Hamilton, who showed
Steam pumps and gasoline engines from 1%

horse power upwards, also the Rodgers shak-
ing grate, which is claimed to be a great fuel
saver and to accomplish splendid results with
slack coal.

The Eureka Mineral Wool Company, of To-
ronto, utilized a considerable portion of their
space to demonstrate the advantages of ‘‘Cling

Surface” belt dressing, of which they are ~

making a specialty. When treated with this
dressing the friction of a belt is greatly re-
duced and the incidental expenses decreased.
Mineral wool pipe covering, Daniels’ perfect
pistol packing, Florian fireproof deadening
felt and Paroid roofing were among the other
articles exhibited by this company.

The Philip Carey Manufacturing Company,
100 Front street east, Toronto, showed stand-

Forest Inspector, $1,800-$2,000.—Chiefs of
the ranking sections of divisions and men in
charge of independent lines of work of similar
importance.

Assistant Forest Inspector, $1,500-$1,700.
—Chiefs of sections of divisions, except of the
ranking section, and men occupying positions
of similar responsibility.

Forest Assistant, $900-$1,400.—Men who
enter the Bureau through the examination for
forest assistant and have not yet been given
charge of independent lines of work.

Forest Agent, $700-$900.—Men without
civil service standing, in charge of subordinate
lines of work.

Forest Student, $300.—Men whose service
is temporary and educational in character and

whose training in forestry is incomplete.
It will be seen from above that this field is

The new saw factory of the A.J. Burton Saw
Company at Vancouver, B. C. , has been com-
pleted and was thrown open for inspection on
Friday, September 16th. The factory is a
large two-story frame building, situted at cor-
ner Powell street and McLean drive, and is
fitted up with modern machinery. The com-
pany import the saw steel in circular plates,
and which has previously been rolled in the
mills to the desired gauge, trom Sheffield, Eng.
They claim that the eastern saws are too soft

for the British Columbia trade, and it is the in-
tention to supply an article which will meet the
local requirements in every respect. The of-
ficers of the company are: President, Mr.
Robert Jardine ; vice-president, Dr.E. Sawyer ;
manager, Mr. A.J. Burton; secretary-treasurer,
Mr. H. Wilkinson.

IMPORTANT FORESTRY WORK.

Prof. Zavitz, who is in charge of forestry work at
the Guelph Agricultural College, intends to take ener-
getic action in the direction of farm forestry. He has
recently completed a tour of Ontario with the object of
finding out what are the farm forestry conditions, the
needs and capabilities of the different sections. He
found the Lake Simcoe and Georgian Bay districts
well adapted for experiments in farm forestry. He
proposes to set out at once on a seed collecting expedi-
tion, a heavy crop of white pine seed being promised
this year.

AMERICAN NO. 2 SELF-FEED RIP SAW.

An examination of the accompanying cut will con-
vince our readers without any extenuated remarks of
ours that this late and improved machine recently
brought out by the American Wood Working Machinery
Company is a winner. It is designed for ripping all
grades of stock up to 25 inches wide and 6 inches
thick.

The table is 40 inches wide by 55 inches long, hav-
ing two idler rolls in the bed and a throat plate. The
arbor is extended so that two or more saws can be
used at the same time, the extreme distance between
the saws being 6% inches. If the operator
so desires he can place a saw against the
outside collar next to the nut, which will
permit the ripping of stock 31 inchesin width.

An improved seif-locking gauge is furnished
with each machine. It is extremely simple
in its construction, easy to operate and yet
is held firmly in any position, allowing of
accurate work to be accomplished.

The feed is strong and powerful. Itis also
adjustable so that when a 10-inch saw is used
it can be moved close to it so as to hold the
lumber firmly and can be expanded so as to
take in a 20-inch saw.

The manufacturers have used special care
in designing and constructing this machine,
and believe that itis superior in every part
to any similar machine now on the market.

To any one interested, we would advise
their taking up the with the

HEATING A PLANING MILL.

A correspondent asks the publishers of The
Woodworker as to the best method of heating
a planing mill 60x80 feet. He wishes to use
the exhaust steam from a 38 horse power
engine. The following general directions are
given and shouldbe carefully followed :

Place a good separator in the exhaust pipe
of your engine, so that all cylinder oil will be
taken out of the exhaust steam and discharg-
ed into the sewer.

THE

»>d-Workes

“and Retailer

Carry the exhaust pipe to the middle of rear
wall of your building, then extend it from
cellar to roof, putting a back pressure valve
near the ceiling of the second story. Weight
this valve so that it will open at 3 pounds, to
prevent back pressure from rising above this
point.

Run a live steam pipe from your boilers to
your exhaust pipe. Put a reducing valve in
this pipe that will reduce the boiler pressure

down to 2 pounds where the live steam dis-
charges into the exhaust pipe. If you ‘do not
have enough exhaust steam to fill the heating
pipes, the reducing valve will admit steam
from the boilers to make up the deficiency.

On each floor provide an outlet the full size
of exhaust pipe, then provide a T that will let
one-half of the steam go in each direction.
For illustration, suppose the exhaust pipe is 4
inches diameter. Then provide a 4-inch T for
each storey .Screw a piece of 4-inch pipe into
the outlet, followed by a 4-inch reducing Ty,

Construct radiators of 1%-inch pipe and

under windows, etc., having enough of them

diator consisting of four pipes, with

containing three pipes just above it,
answer your purpose, as you can then use
either three, four or seven pipes according to
the outside temperature.

Drips from all radiators or banks of pipes
must discharge into a pipe at the other end of
mill, and this pipe must lead to a receiver’ and
duplex pump in the basement, which will pump
all hot water back into the boilers without
releasing it from pressure.

This arrangement of piping will enable you
to shut steam off from the warm side of mill in
mild weather, and keep it on the cold side.

you can secure a comfortable temperature at
all times, without overheating. Raise the
temperature to 60 degrees before your men
begin work in the morning, while the doors
and windows are shut.

If your mill has been poorly heated during
past winters, the cost of fuel will be increased
by the above described arrangement of piping,
but you will profit by the better condition of
mill for doing good work. Employ a com-
petent heating engineer to arrange the details
of this plan.

SLACK STAVES FROM CORDWOOD.
When the statements made by the Peter
Gerlach Company, Cleveland Ohio, relative to
the making ot slack-barrel staves by the aid of

SHOWING HOW SLACK STAVES ARE MADE BY GERLACH
j PROCESS.

a cylinder saw, as they are found below, are
considered, it is almost startling and is bound
to attract very wide attention, says the National
Cooper’s Journal. The illustration tells its
own story, but the statements below will well
repay careful reading.

From a 6¥%-inch bolt when cut upon a Ger-
lach 24 or 26-inch, we give you staves enough
to make a barrel, as per diagram.

From a 5-foot cord of bolts, containing 160
C.F., we give you 2,000 slack-barrel staves,
cut 3 inch thick.

One thousand feet of log will produce from
12,000 to 13,000 staves.

Our machinery will make good staves from
small, round timber, running anywhere from
4 to 12 inches in diameter, at the same time
large logs may be used, by simply cutting the

logs into flitches about 4 inches in thickness,
that is to say, a log about 3 feet in diameter
would be cut into a flitch about 4 inches thick
(other sizes of logs in like proportion) upon
the bolting saw machine.

The small round bolts can be cut directly
into staves without any previous bolting.

If large logs are used and cut into flitches
as above mentioned, these flitches whether 6,
12, 18 or 24 inches wide may be cut directly
into staves without any further preparation.

With our process of stave making any class
or grade of timber may be used, thus if you
were clearing up a patch of timber land, you
would be able to utilize everything that grows,
even to the limbs and tree tops.

This is very important, as saw mills use large
timber only and usually leaye from 20 to 50
per cent. of waste produce behind.

Saw mill slabs may likewise be worked into
staves with our machinery.

With our machinery no steaming or cooking
of machinery is required, and the staves make
a tighter and better barrel, as well as dry
quicker than knife-cut staves.

A Michigan stave and barrel maker using a
Gerlach stave saw says: ‘‘Ina run of seventy-
three days with one new Gerlach. stave machine,
we cut 750,000 slack-barrel and 50,000 tight-
barrel staves, and by using your eccentric
lever swage we produced very smooth stock.”

These staves were made from 14 different
varieties of timber. In cutting the above
quantity of staves, the saw was reduced 1%
inches in length.

If all tight-barrel staves, if all nail-keg
staves, if all pail, tub and churn staves are
made with cylinder-stave saws, why not all
slack-barrel staves ?

MODEL SASH AND DOOR PLANT.

The Wheeler-Osgcode Company, Tacoma,
Wash., have constructed a wood-working
plant without the employment of a single brace
or beam upon which dust can collect. There
are no bridge trees, plattorms or braces of any
sort on either floor of the building, thus doing
away with a large element of fire risk as well
as giving a maximum of light. The sides of
the mill are almost entirely of glass.

Another peculiarity ot this mill is the total
absence of belt tighteners, while the belts
themselves are all endless. The plant has a
daily capacity of 1,000 doors and 400 windows,
besides the usual proportion of mouldings,
frames, and turned and cabinet work.

CRAIG MINE CRYSTAL CORUNDUM WHEELS

Our Pure Crystal Corundum Saw Gummers have —
no equal for their rapid, cool, cutting properties. —

Read the following from Bulletin 180 of the United States Geological Survey; which says : :

“Often a distinction is made between emery and corundum, many persons not recognizing emery as a variety of

corundum.

Emery is a mechanical admixture or corundum and magnetite or hematite.

It is, of course, the presence

of corundum in the emery that gives to it its abrasive qualities and makes it of commercial, value, and the abrasive
efficiency of emeries varies according to the percentage of corundum they contain.

Emery is imported, mined by Greeks and Turks and contains only about 257%

corundum,

Our Crystal Corundum is guaranteed to be 987% pure alumina, a Can-

adian product, mined and manufactured by Canadians for Canadians.

Texas. It is believed that nearly $100,000 was paid
for the property, The business will continue to be
operated under the name of the Vancouver Lumber
Company, and it is said that the purchasers intend
acquiring additional timber limits.

—The act regulating the measurement of timber in
British Columbia now applies to the territory east of the
Cascades. When it was passed in 1902 it was intended
only for the territory west. The timber sold to a com-
pany is to be measured by an employee of the company,
and the amendment is sought that if an appeal is made
the supervisor's fees are to be made by the loser.
Scalers are now required to pay a fee of $25, which is
considered unnecessary and unjust. The extension of
territory will be welcomed.

—The Kamloops Saw Mills, Limited, were particularly
unfortunate in having their saw mill at Kamloops,
B.C., destroyed by fire on September 9th. The mill
was built three years ago by Peter Ryan and John
Shields and was bought by the Kamloops Saw Mills
about a year ago. It contained modern equipment, all
the machinery being supplied by the Waterous Engine
Works Company, of Brantford, Ont. A planing mill
was attached, fitted up with four planers made by

McGregor, Gourlay & Company, of Galt, Ont. The
loss by the fire is estimated at $50,000, partially
covered by insurance. The company have still two
mills, one a saw mill at Enderby, in the Okanagan dis-
trict, and the other a shingle mill at Annes, on the
main line of the C.P.R.

TRADE NOTES.

The Syracuse Smelting Works of Montreal advise us
that they are always open to purchase Jead or copper
concentrates.

Alfred Rubbra, of the Machinery Exchange, Mon-
treal, has secured the agency for Clark & Demill,
manufacturers of wood-working machinery, Galt, Ont.

Thé Huntsville Foundry & Implement Company are
building a foundry at Huntsville, Ont., and will make
a spécialty of the manufacture and repair of saw mill
machinery.

The Western Cordage Company, Limited, has been

incorporated at London, Ont., with a capital stock of
$300,000, to manufacture binder twine, rope, and all
kinds of cordage. The president is Thomas H. Pur-
domi, K.C., and the secretary E. B. Stone.

John McLean, an employee of the Canada Shingle
Company, Vancouver, B. C., has received a Canadian
patent on an improved tooth for a cut-off saw. The
tooth is said to be more easily manufactured than any
other on the market and to maintain its cutting edge
for a longer time, with a minimum of side friction. L.
G: McKam, of New Westminster, has acquired an
interest in the patent.

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN’ -

The Oxford Foundry and Machine Company, of Ox-
ford, N.S., have supplied the Grand River Lumber and
Pulp Company, at Gillisport, Labrador, with one of
Killam’s double patent saw-beds, together with one of
their carriages built with setter and dogger to ride on
the carriage,for which Mr. Killam guarantees a record
cut of 500 feet a minute or an average of 25,000 feet
per hour. The mill bas already been set up and is now
at work.

The New Century Refrigerator & Manufacturing
Company, Limited, of Dundas, Ont., have their large
new factory completed and in full operation. It is
splendidly equipped with the best and most modern
machinery and systematized so as to reduce the amount
of labor to the minimum, and is one of the most com-
plete wood-working factories in Canada. There are
large and extensive dry kilns by means of which all
lumber will be thoroughly seasoned before being manu-
factured. The company will make a specialty of hard-
wood veneer doors with built-up bodies, which they
claim are unshrinkable and are guaranteed not to warp
or twist. They are made in modern designs, artistic
in appearance and equal in construction and finish to
any door onthe market. They will also give close
attention to architects’ special designs of doors and

products a profitable line of goods to handle.

Some time ago we mentioned that experiments were
being made regarding the production of ingot copper
and bronze by the Syracuse Smelting Works, of Mon-
treal. Since that time we understand the work has
steadily proceeded and that recently a company has
been incorporated to prosecute this industry entirely.
It is to be called the Montreal Copper Company, Limit-
ed,*and will be devoted to the production of ingot
copper, phosphor copper, and phosphor bronze ingots.
It is interesting to note that this is the first company of
its kind in Canada, all copper mined in Canada and
smelted into ‘‘Math” being usually sent to the United
States to be refined. The company at the present time
have a capacity of eight tons per day, which has
proved quite inadequate for the demand. The object
of the recent corporation is to provide the necessary
capital for materially increasing the capacity. The
officers are Mr. H. Sapery, president; Mr. L. Sapery,
manager; Mr. Fritz Bornholdz, secretary-treasurer.
The company was incorporated with a capital of
$150,000, but it is intended to increase “it to
$250,000.

Agents will immediately be appointed in the —
different districts, and they will doubtless find their

circumstances, of Mr. J. S. Kerr, representative in the

guson, who is the head of a large lumber firm, states
that he is greatly impressed with the modern -methods
prevailing in the lumber industry in Canada. In West
Australia they still use horses and bullocks to draw
timber out of the woods, but Mr. Ferguson believes
that donkey engines, as in British Columbia, could be
introduced with advantage.

BRITISH COLUMBIA TIMBER ROYALTIES. !,

It is learned that the revenue accruing to the
British Columbia Government from timber
royalties, irrespective of that from timber
licenses, during the months of July and August
of the present year exceeds the revenue from
royalties alone derived during any four months
in the history of the province.

The revenue from royalties during the month
of July, the first month of the present fiscal

year,was in the neighborhood of $50,000, while

that from the same source during the month of
August is said to have been about $15,000,
making a total of $65,000 in revenue for the
two months.

INDESTRUCTIBILITY OF CEDAR.

The resistance of cedar wood to decay has
long been famous, and cedar fence-posts often
last for generations. A remarkable instance
of the indestructibility ot cedar has been noted
in the State of Washington, where a forest

of hemlocks, near Acme, has grown up over
an ancient, buried forest of cedars. The
trunks of cedar, although lying in a moist
soil, have been almost perfectly preserved for
at least-one hundred and fifty years, the length
of time that the rings of growth show the
hemlocks to have been growing above their
fallen predecessors.

being that prices are likely to improve be-

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO. P

The lumber trade has lost no ground
during the past week, as there has been
an average movement and prices have
been well maintained. There are no signs
of weakness, and it is believed that when
the elections in this country and the United
States are over there will be a revival in
the demand for lumber and a stiffening of
prices. While the quantity of unsold lum-
ber at the mills will be larger than at the
close of navigation last year, it will not be
more than enough to supply the demand
until the new cut is ready next year.

‘Several of the largest firms will operate

conservatively in the woods this winter

in the east in particular being somewhat

- dull.; In; Philadelphia and New York the

volume of business is by no means
satisfactory. In Chicago and district there
is a vast amount of building under way
and lumber dealers are doing a steady
trade, with prices well maintained. The
manufacturers in the Lake Superior dis-
trict make no complaint as to business,
The bulk of their output has been dis-
posed of and the small balance is almost

certain to be held at firm prices. Dealers —
are buying southern pine quite liberally

—

there is consequently some hesitancy on
the part of eastern buyers. Plain white
and red oak are in fair demand and light
supply, soft elm is scarce and basswood
is plentiful.

There has been a recovery of about ten
cents in the price of red cedar shingles.
Reports from Washington state that
wholesalers are eager to buy and that the
situation shows a distinct improvement.
This has been reflected in other kinds of
shingles, although no advance in the
east has taken place.

GREAT BRITAIN.

Indications are more numerous that the
British lumber market is gaining strength.
Business in London is brisker and import-
ers are beginning to spcculate. If the
market were removed from the influence
of Baltic shipments, there would probably
be a surprisingly quick recovery in prices,
but as this is out of the question the im-
provement promises to be very gradual.

Stocks are changing hands more freely —

between merchant and consumer than has
been the case for many months, and
prices at the recent public sales have
maintained a fairly steady level.
deals are showing unusual strength. One
report states: “(There has been a much
better demand for spruce during the
week, and if this were only to continue
fora few weeks at the same rate, there
would be a substantial rise in prices to
record. Stocks of 3x9 unassorted spruce
have been cleared by the principal agents
at £9 per standard, and many lines of
unassorted that sold at £8 5s at the
auctions a short time ago have been re-
sold by the buyers at £9 per standards.”
Importers are beginning to feel that there
are not likely to be heavy consignments
from Canada, which is doing much to-
wards restoring confidence.

STOCKS AND PRICES.

E. B. Foss & Company, of Bay City,
Mich., have imported from the Georgian
Bay district about 5,000,000 feet of lum-
ber a month during the season.

Crate & Sparham, cf Smith's Falls,
Ont., have just bought 400 acres in Beck-
with Township, near Franktown, on which
there is a considerable quantity of timber.

The Saginaw Lumber & Salt Com-
pany, of Sandwich, Ont., last week sold
3,000,000 feet of white pine lumber to the
Detroit Lumber Company and Lowrie &
Robinson.

The Spanish River Boom Company
handled approximately 160,000,000 feet
of logs this season. Last year the output
was 200,000,000 feet and next year it is
likely to be still smaller.

Robert Potts, of Fredericton, N.B., has
entered into a contract with the St. John
Lumber Company, of Van Buren, Maine,
to cut 3,000,000 feet of logs for them
during the coming season.

The Pigeon River Lumber Company, of
Port Arthur, Ont., will have five camps in
operation this winter, three on the Cana-
dian side and two on the American side.
It is expected that from 30,000,000 to
35,000,000 feet of logs will be cut.

Hon. E. J. Davis, Commissioner of
Crown Lands for Ortario, is asking for
tenders by November 15th for the right to
cut the red and white pine timber on a
number of small parcels of cut-over and
burnt-over lands situated in the Town-
ships of Burleigh and Johnson and district
of Algoma. The berths in Algoma dis-
trict include No. 108, on the north shore
of Lake Huron, and Berth A, on Dog
Lake, 64 miles west of Chapleau.

There is now about 18,250,000 feet of
last season’s log cut of the provincial oper-
ators hung up in the upper St. John river,
divided as follows:

In addition to this the St. John Lumber
Company at Van Buren were held up for
4,500,000 feet. This company, however,
will operate quite extensively this winter.
They will get out about 15,000,000 feet.
The Van Buren Lumber Company will al-
so operate on a fairly large scale, their es-
timate being about 10,000,000 feet.

NEW BRUNSWICK LETTER.

(Correspon lence of the CANADA LUMBERMANR.)

St. Joun, N.B., Sept. goth, 1904.—
Things are somewhat brisker in lumber
circles than they have been for some
months past. All the mills in this vicinity
are running at their full capacity and the
annual output .f this year promises to be
about the average. Logs are coming
along very freely and the indications are
that there will be perhaps 20,000,000 feet
piled and wintered at this port alone. As
far as is known at present there have been
very few large contracts made with log-
gers. This is a sure indication of a small

cut this winter, as under ordinary condi-

tions the choppers are in the woods by
this time.

Many manufacturers are in a position
this year where they have to run their
mills at a loss or cease sawing alto-
gether, owing to the high price they paid
for their logs. As it means a heavy sum
of money being tied up for a year at least
unless they did so, those who were in that
position have preferred to do the former.
It may be depended upon that they will
not be in a similar condition next year.
This means that they will be more cautious
in buying and contracting and already the
reaction is being felt in logging circles,
which fact is indicated in a lack of demand
for woodsmen and a consequent falling off
in wages in that line ranging from 10 to 15
per cent.

While shingles have not shown any in-
creased activity during the last fortnight,
laths appear to be considerably more in
demand and those who have any to sell
are very hopeful of what the next month
will bring forth. Shipments of laths have
been fairly heavy since last writing, but
the quantity of shingles on the different
wharves has increased perceptibly.

The English market looks somewhat
brighter than was the case at this time
last month. Enquiries are more frequent
and the demand has increased to such an
extent that those interested are just now
feeling very optimistic. Of course, this
demand is not by any means heavy, but,
compared with the depression of the last

BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER.

(Correspondence of the CANADA L,UMBERMAN. )

VANCOUVER, B.C., September 26, 1904.
—The depression in the lumber business
has been the cause of a cut in prices of
lumber in this city, and the war has been
carried on by the millmen until now figures
are in many instances as much as 35 per
cent. off the list price. It all started in
one firm giving a price below the schedule
agreed upon by the B C. Lumber and
Shingle Manufacturers’ Association, and
to which all the members subscribed, and
ot another when hearing it going it still
lower. Shingles are being sold for $1.35
and $1.50. ‘‘There are times,” one of the
prominent manufacturers said on Satur-
day, ‘‘when most of us feel we should be

put in an asylum until this irrational feel- —

ing has worn off. We know we are hurt-

ing ourselves and the trade, but still we
go ahead.”

A feature of the depression in the log-

’ ging industry is the cornering of the avail-

able supply. Especially is this the case

incedar. Most of the independent loggers

are in financial difficulties, and since the
government has refused to allow export,
they have to wait until conditions bright-
en. They have stopped cutting, and those
who have the money are now quietly buy-
ing up all the cedar and the fir. By spring
logs may take a big jump and will be very
high if the winter is as unfavorable as last
in getting out timber. A

Export of lumber is small. The fleet
now loading is only three vessels, the few-
est on record. They are the Harold and
Halewood at Hastings mill, and the Olive-
bank at Chemainus. Three charters only
are reported, the William H. Talbot, the
Admiral Tegethoff and the Balboa. A
record was made in loading the Olive-
bank. She took on 2,5:7;000 feet, the
largest cargo ever shipped at Chemainus,
and this was put on through one hatch by
the Victoria & Vancouver Stevedoring
Company in 22 lay-days, an average of
114,000 feet per day.

A MILLION POUNDS OF GRATES.

The value of the Gordon Hollow Blast Grate in Promoting combustion is strikingly illustrated

by the fact that our annual sales of grates and connections approximate one million pounds.
» hd This celebrated grate certainly affords the best and most economical means in existence for dis-
posing of Sawdust and other refuse. It wi!l burn them in your furnaces or ovens, even though wet,
green or frozen, producing as good results with such fuel as an ordinary grate gives with dry wood.

q Shutting down to wait for steam to isc 1s expensive and demoralizing. Your output ceases and
your expenses continue. The Gordon Hollow Blast Grate makes it unnecessary, as it adds from 20
to 50 per cent. to the steaming capacity of a boiler, and gives the fireman perfect control over his
fire, regardless of atmospheric conditions. ‘

_.... By reason of the substantial construction of the grate, and of the fact that the blast bars are
_ filled with a current of fresh air, the durability of the Gordon Hollow Blast Grate is such as to make
it in the end by far the cheapest grate of any description, draft or blast, to be obtained.

We do not ask you to take our word for the foregoing, but are perfectly willing to ship you an
outfit with the written understanding that you may test it for thirty days in any manner in which
“you may see fit, and that, if you conclude it is not for your interest and advantage to retain it, you
may remove it at any time before the expiration of such thirty days, and return it at our expense.

_ This is certainly the broadest guaranty it would be possible to give. It absolutely protects you, and
strikingly demonstrates our-own unlimited faith in the grate, based on sixteen years’ experience.

x WE ALSO MANUFACTURE:
The TOWER 2 and 3-saw Edgers, Improved. For mills cutting not
to exceed 20,000 ft. in ten hours. ;
The TOWER EXTRA 3-saw Edger. For mills cutting up to 30,000 ft.

FAIRBANKS WOOD-SPLIT PULLEY

The Best for Saw and Planing Mills

in Canada.

It has a reputation superior to that of any other Pulley for merit of design, workmanship and finish.
_ The web construction (see cut), built in the rim, not only strengthens the entire Pulley but makes
it impossible for the rim to work loose at the arm.
Each segment is not only glued but nailed with three nails to the next one. Four point bushings
are used, giving twice as much grip on the shaft as in the usual two piece bushing.
% The merits of any article are best proved by a trial. Send us a trial order the next time you want

any pulleys, We carry a large stock and with our factory in Montreal can supply any special pulley
‘ in 24 hours if not in stock.

This pulley is not an experiment but has been sold for several years past all over the United
States, and the universal satisfaction it gave and the success it met with prompted us to manufacture

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.
ONTARIO.

So long as the weather continues favor-
able for outdoor work’there will be activ-
ity in lumber circles. Building opera-
tions are being carried on with exception—
al rapidity, and the stocks of retail dealers
have become somewhat broken. Many of
the latter deferred the buying of lumber
too long and now find that the concessions
which they were offered in the summer
months have been cancelled. It may not
be arising market, but it is evident that
stocks are more firmly held than at the
beginning of October. Importations of
American lumber into Western Ontario
are increasing and are serving to check
any advance which manufacturers might
consider was warranted by other condi-
tions. There is not much buying either of
pine or hardwoods for speculation, as the
disposition seems to be to watch the trade
development after the Presidential election
in the United States and act accordingly.
It is predicted in some quarters that pine
lath is destined for higher prices. There
has been liberal buying of that commo-
dity,as also of shingles, which are exhibit-
ing a stronger tone.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

Those who anticipated an improvement
in the demand for spruce lumber in the
Fall have not been disappointed. The
market is stronger than at any time for
months, and it is not improbable that
prices will be higher at the end of the
year than now. The manufacturers are
handling the situation in a masterly way ;

very little stock is being thrown ufon the
market at a sacrifice and operations in
the woods are being arranged for ona
reduced scale. These factors are favor-
ably influencing the market. Clapboardsare
one of the dullest lines among the Amer-
ican exports. Shingles are unchanged at
$3.15 tor Boston delivery, while lath are
if anything a little firmer.

UNITED STATES.

Activity in lumber has subsided during
the week, and the cause may be found in
the approach of the election. More at-
tention is being given to political matters
than to business. The strength of the
market, however, has not been impaired,
but on the other hand white and yellow
pine are even stronger than last week.
Stocks of the latter are broken and the
supply is scarcely equal to the demand.
There is a larger stock, comparatively, of
white pine lumber, but it is mostly in the
hands of wholesalers. Dealers and con-
sumers have been pursuing a hand-to-
mouth policy and are therefore not well
equipped for the winter trade. After the
Presidental election there will doubtless
be liberal buying for stocking up purposes.
Barn grades are very scarce at Buffalo
and Tonawanda, with not much hope of
materially increasing the supply before the
close of navigation. There is a fairly
good movement of common pine. Cargo
spruce is said to be a little ‘easier, with
2x3, 2x4 and 2x6 offered somewhat liberal-
ly. Clapboards are very quiet.

It is now admitted that the input of
hardwood logs during the coming winter
is likely to be large, but it has as yet had
no effect upon lumber prices. Basswood
is selling more freely than earlier in the
season and birch and soft elm are exper-
iencing a lively demand. There is prac-
tically no change in prices.

GREAT BRITAIN.

The British lumber market is still irre-
gular, and as the importing seasonis near-
ing an end, it is a foregone conclusion that.
dullness will continue until the close of the
year. In London, Hull, and East Coast
ports there has been a slight improvement,
but in the west of England generally con-
ditions are no better than one week ago.
There have been heavy losses injthe build-
ing trade at Bristol, which has accentu-
ated the depression. Business: during the
past week has also been disturbed by the
North Sea incident, and at time of writing
the situation between England and Russia
is regarded as somewhat critical. The
disposition on all sides is to pursue a very”
conservative policy in respect to lumber
buying. Some of the dealers, however,
who have been running along on very

ight stocks for some time, now find it.

necessary to increase their supplies so as
to be in a position to meet the wants of
their customers during the winter months,
and this has made a show of activity.
Canadian pine and spruce deals are firm
and the business is considered to be on a
satisfactory basis. Some reports state
that there has been a further advance in
spruce, and that several sales have taken
place on the basis of £6 1os. per standard
C.i.t.

STOCKS AND PRICES.

Loveland & Stone, of Cutler, Ont., will
put in about 60 per cent. of their last win-
ter’s stock of logs. At Byng Inlet, Holland
& Graves have camps in operation and
are figuring on putting in at least 35,000,-
ooo feet this winter.

P. G. Keyes, Secretary of the Depart-
ment of the Interior, Ottawa, will receive
tenders upto Wednesday, November 30th,
for a permit to cut timber on Berth No.
1387, in the Province of Manitoba, con-
taining an area of 64 square miles.

The Saginaw Lumber & Salt Company,
of Sandwich, Ont., recently sold 2,000,000
feet of pine lumber at within 50 cents a
thousand of what was offered last spring.
This company will carry over 6,000,000
feet of logs and put in about 15,000,000
feet.

THE OTTAWA VALLEY.

(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMANR.)

OTTAWA, October 26, 1904.—Activity is
reported from all sides in the lumber busi-
The railway
people report an. increzsed movement of
lumber to New York and other points in
the Eastern States. The movement of

~tumber for export to England also shows

an improvement, but itis not so marked
as in the case of the American trade. -The
early approach of the close of navigation
on the Hudson canals is one of the reasons
for the fall rush of lumber. American
dealers have considerable stock standing
in the Ottawa district yards, and they are
desirous of getting this out before the
close of navigation advances the trans-
portation rates.

It is the general impression that the

American,market is in better shape for busi-

ness, but local dealers do not hope for much

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION =

Feyond a general sorting up for the Fall.

Reference to the market page will show
several changes in the quotations from the
Ottawa district, good sidings, strips and
shorts all being easier in price.

From the limits come reports of activity
in the log and square timber manufacture.
Labor is easier to obtain than last year,
and the men are working with a better
will, and it is believed will stick closer to
their jobs than in previous seasons, when,
strange to say, high wages made them
discontented. It is generally thought that
there will be a reduction of fully a third in
the log cut and two-thirds in the cut of
square and waney timber. Wet weather
has interfered to some extent with oper-
ations.

From all reports spruce is firmer than
it has been for several seasons back.

NEW BRUNSWICK LETTER.
(Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAN.)

St. Joun, N.B., October gist, 1904.—
The lumber trade has shown no marked
change since last writing, and it is un-
likely that there will be any during the
remaining months of 1904 that will affect
the local manufacturers so far as the cut
for November and December is concerned.
The 10th of December will probably see
all save two or three of the mills in St.
John and on the St. John River closed
down for the season, to resume oper-
ations on or about the 1st of March.

Several important logging contracts
have been made during the last fortnight.
Compared with those of last year a re-
duction in the price of from 50 cents to $1
per Mis the rule. The quantity will not
equal that of last year’s operations by
at least 25 per cent., and the difference
will probably be as great as 35 per cent.
The wages being paid to woodsmen is
from $2 to $4 per man lower than was the
case last winter. Owing to the reduc-
tion in demand, men are quite plentiful.
Horse-flesh is scarce and dear, good
horses ranging from $190 to $225 each in
price.

This winter, like last, the contracts for
American logs are very small compared
with what was the rule for many years
prior to 1903, several American manu-
facturers have contracted for Provincial
logs only. ;

Shipments of short lumber have been
lighter during the latter half of the month
than was the case during the first half.
Stocks of cedar shingles are fairly heavy

-in the high pe Be. six to sik and
half millions would probably cover.
amount,

least one-third and very probably one-

half of these. Within the last fortnight |

the shingle trade has shown a consider-

able stimulus in the New England States. —

This stimulus has not as yet resulted in
any advance in price, which has been
uniform and practically stationery during
the last two months,

The manifestations of an improvement

in the English market, as mentioned a
fortnight ago, continue, and the general

impression is that the first of the year —

will find prices and demand equal in every

way to the conditions which existed be-—

fore the slump which took vine early in
1904.

The shipments of English deals have
been rather light during the last morth.

Stocks are slowly multiplying, but it is an
assured fact that sufficient will go for-
ward during November to cover at least
what will be manufactured between now
and the time for closing down. In that
case, taking inte consideration the sales
which are certain to be made during the
winter months to go forward by‘the win-
ter port steamers, the rst of March will in
all probability find the localwharvesentirely
cleaned up so far as English deals are
concerned. —

The improvement in conditions in the
English market has taken place so late in
the year that it will probably have little
effect on manufacturers’ prices or on the
volume of shipments during the balance
of 1904, but it is confidently expected that
when the time comes to resume opera-
tions, conditions will be much more fav-
orable.

BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER.

(Correspondence of the CANAD\ LUMBERMAN.)

VANCOUVER, B.C., October 24th, 1904.
—It does not require any person particu-
larly gifted with the powers of observation
to see that the lumber industry of British
Columbia, from the eastern boundary of
the Kootenay to the Pacific Coast, is in a
very depressed condition, yet Mr. Robert
Kerr, passenger traffic manager of the
Canadian Pacific Railway, who has just
returned to the east after a trip to the
west, has declared that it is flourishing.
In Winnipeg, Montreal and other papers

——————EEEEEE EE

have appeared interviews with him, and
all state that the lumber industry was
never better. British Columbia lumber-
men do not know what particular reason
Mr. Kerr may have for thus misrepresent-
ing conditions, for if he kept his eyes shut
altogether while in the west he would
have heard sufficient to make him aware
that the lumber industry is in bad shape.
In fact, some disasters may result. If so,
he will no doubt affect considerable sur-
prise. The industry could very easily be
put in a flourishing condition, for at the
present time about 12,000,000 feet of lum-
ber per month comes in from Washington
state. The argument has been advanced
that if a duty were put on the price of lum-
ber would be increased, but, if so, the
government has the remedy in its own
hands, and may repeal the duty. On the

other hand, the millmen claim the price
will be reduced, for with a greater volume
of business lesser profits would be satis.
factory.

Fernie is to have another large mill,
which will be erected by those already
interested in the Eik Lumber and Manu-
facturing Company, which has one large
mill there now. O. A. Robertson, of St.
Paul, F. B. Lynch and O. L. Boynter, of
the same city, and G. F. Ditbinner, of
Minneapolis, are at Fernie this week look-
ing after the commencement of the ccn-
struction. They state the machinery will
be the finest obtainable, and the capacity
will be 100,000 feet in ten hours, with a
cost of at least $75,000. These people
are reported to have exceedingly large
capital behind them, and the enterprises
in which they have engaged in the west
lead to the belief that this is correct.

Bésides the Elk Lumber and Manufac-
turing Company, which is a large con-
cern, they have established a very modern
mill on Red Deer Lake, in the Saskatche-
wan district, establishing the town of
Barrows.

Local conditions are unchanged. Lum-
ber is still cheaper than usual, remaining
almost at thé figure to which it was
brought by the rate war, and it is ex-
pected that it will be low all winter.
Many who had building operations in
prospect are taking advantage of the op-
portunity, which means) considerable in
the construction of a dwelling.

Lumbermen and mill owners at Edmon-
ton and Strathcona have arranged a new
scale of prices which is much below that
which has hitherto prevailed.

The Canadian Timber & Sawmills,
Limited, whose property at Trout
Lake has been in possession of the sheriff,
has been reorganized, with three direc-
tors in Revelstoke and two in London.
W. Cowan, of Revelstoke, who is heavily
interested, having taken shares in pay-
meant for timber, is the new manager.

G. B. Campbell, of Glencoe, Ont., J.
McGregor, Enderby, B.C., P. D. McKel-
lar and H. Healey, ot Bellingham, Wash.,
are cruising about the headwaters of the
Tulameen river, in the Similkameen dis-
trict, looking for timber suitable for ties.

TIMBER SALE.

The State of Minnesota had a timber
sale in St. Paul October 21. The sale
was successful as far as it went, but only
28 tracts out of 114 offered for sale were
taken. On,the other tracts the lumber-
men declared that the appraised price was
too high and declined to bid. The timber
sold was nearly all good pine. In all
about 40,000,000 feet were sold, at prices

ranging from $3.50 to $9 per thousand, \a

but for the most part ranging from $7 to
$8.50.

The Cloquet Lumber Company was the
heaviest bnyer and took 8,500,000 feet in
one block at a bid of $8.50 a thousand.
The highest price paid, $9 a thousand,
was by the Shevlin-Carpenter Lumber
Company, of Minneapolis, who are also
operating in the Lake-of-the-Woods dis-
trict in Ontario.

‘a THE LUMBERMEN’S CLUB OF OTTAWA.
The officials of the Ottawa

ber firms have formed an Asso-
ciation in Ottawa, to be call-
ed ‘‘ The Lumbermen’s Club.”
The object is a purely social
one to foster a feeling of good fellowship and
to afford all members an opportunity of meet-
ing and discussing subjects common to all.

A large club room has been secured and fur-
nished with magazines, newspapers, pool and
billiard tables, etc.

The annual meeting will be held during the
month of July each year, for the election of
officers and ‘transaction of
business, when the _initia-
tion of candidates will be a
prominent feature.

The Club is not exclusive
and admits as_ honorary
members business men hav-
ing transactions directly
with the lumber trade. All
members are supplied with
such names and are recom-
mended to patronize the
honorary members as far as
possible.

The officers’ position in
the club corresponds to the
same position held by them
with their respective firms,
as follows:

W. N. Vaughan, Agent,
(Fraser & Co.)

Wm. Burns, Bookkeeper,
(Fraser & Co.) ;

Thos. Reynolds, Foreman,
(McLachlin Bros.)

Harry W. Link, Culler,
(Hawkesbury Lumber Co.)

D. McLennan, Clerk (St. Anthony Lumber
Co.)

Ernest Pitt,Secretary,58 Queen St., Ottawa.

The membership fee is only two dollars per
annum, and the Secretary will gladly furnish
any desired information to persons who may

-be desirous of joining the Club.

DOMINION FORESTRY WORK.

Mr. E. Stewart, Dominion Superintendent
of Foresty, returned to Ottawa a short time
ago from the west, where he had been for
three months looking after the work of his de-
partment. He reports that the forest rangers
have done splendid service. The forest fires
in British Columbia and especially along the

_Crow’s Nest Pass, in Western Alberta, have

caused a considerable loss, but in the other
districts the destruction of timber has not
been great. In connection with the system of
co-operation with the prairie settlers in grow-

farms at Brandon and Indian Head, but it was
found advisable to centralize this work at one
place, and 160 acres: about a mile south
of Indian Head Station were selected. Build-
ings have been erected, about fifty acres got
ready for cultivation and considerable seed
sown.

This will not only permit the Forestry
Branch to grow a large number of trees for
annual distribution, but will also be a model
forest nursery station where experiments can
be conducted with all varieties of forest trees

suited to this northern climate. As the farms
of the applicants for trees are all inspected and
thorough preparation of soil and care in plant-
ing insisted on, these plantations, which are
scattered here and there from the Red River
to the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, will
furnish object lessons on proper methods in
this line of work to the people throughout the
prairie districts.

The staff of the Forestry Branch consists of
the superintendent, assistant superintendent,
two other regular assistants, four inspectors
of tree planting employed during the summer,
and about forty forest fire rangers. The ap-
propriation for the past year was $40,000.

UNIQUE LOGGING RAILROAD.

The Allen & Nelson Mill Company, whose
mill is at Monohan, King County, Wash., op-
erate probably the most unique logging rail-
road in the country. The road is about two

ERNEST PiTT, Secretary.

HEnRy W. LInK, Culler,

and one-half miles long and has been success-
fully worked for the last three or four years
and is said to be a success.

While both road and rolling stock might be
said to be nondescript, they are money savers
and money makers. The locomotive or motive
power is nothing more than an upright boiler
on an improvised car and furnishes steam to
a double engine that in like improvised manner
is rigged up to operate a double set of drive
wheels by the help ot cog wheels and endless
chains.

The cars for hauling the logs are even more
unique, but they work charmingly. Four sets
of wheels are rigged up in four frames that en-
close them and a short axle
passes from one side of the
frame to the other, so that
each wheel is held independ-
of all The
four frames are held rigid

ently others.
by 12x 12 timbers fastened
to them on top and upon
these cross timbers are laid
other long 12x 12 timbers
that help make up the frame
work of the car and hold

the logs. The locomotive
and the log cars have
flanged trucks that run

upon a wooden rail made
out of logs and embedded
in the ground to. keep them
in place. The trucks under
the engine have a play of
several inches on the axles
to prevent them from leav-
ing the rails when going
around curves and for the
the
log cars are

built upon the short axles.

The log car is twelve feet wide and twenty
average-sized logs are taken out of the woods
at each trip, but one car being in use at one
time. The ‘‘train” makes four trips daily,
moving about 25,000 feet in that time. The
engine negotiates a ‘‘down grade” of 18 per
cent. with its load by reversing the steam and
the appliance of brakes on the log car operated
with block and tackle. The road is now being
extended so that some up grades are encoun-
tered in taking the logs out to the mill and the
assistance of the donkey or yarding engine will
have to be called into play to get the loaded
carup. The engine is able’to take the empty
car back over any of the grades so far en-
countered.

This manner of logging is said to be cheaper
than by the use of horses or any of the more
modern appliances. Very little steel or iron
enters into the construction of the road and the
material being nearly all at hand in the woods
around, it is simplicity itself and the essence
of economy. — Pacific Coast Lumber Trade

DR. JUDSON F. CLARK,”

The announcement was made in a previous
_ issue that Dr. Clark had been appointed Pro-
vincial Forester by the Ontario Government as
a member of the staff of the Crown Lands De-
Dr. Clark having now entered upon
his duties, we present his portrait and give
some particulars of his educational career and
forestry experience.

Judson F. Clark, B.S.A., A.M., Ph.D., was
born at Bay View, Prince Edward Island, in
1870. After spending a year at Prince of
Wales College, Charlottetown, he entered the
Ontario Agricultural College at Guelph, where
he won the gold medal for general proficiency
The following
two years were spent as a member of the teach-
ing staff of the college, after which he entered
Cornell University, Ithica, N.Y., for the study
He re-
ceived the degree of A.M. and was appointed
assistant in botany both in the regular course
and the summer school in 1899. The following
year he was appointed Fellow in botany, and

partment.

in 1895, graduating in 1896.

of forestry and physiological botany.

graduated as Doctor of Philosophy in 1go1,
when he was at once appointed Professor of
Forestry in Cornell, with leave of absence to
study forestry in Germany. He resigned from
the staff of Cornell on the veto of the annual
appropriation for the College of Forestry in 1903
by Governor Odell, and was appointed to a
position on the staff of the National Bureau of
Forestry at Washington, D.C., which position
he resigned to undertake his new duties with
the Ontario Government.

When in Germany Dr. Clark devoted most
of his time to practical investigations in the
forests, but before returning he spent one
month visiting the forestry schools for the pur-
pose of becoming acquainted with forestry
teachers and of studying their methods of school
work. During this month he visited, with one
exception, every forestry school in Germany
and Switzerland. The curricula of the forestry
schools in Germany, he states,is almost entire-
ly theoretical, the student depending for prac-
tical training on the experience gained in minor
positions after graduating.

While associated with Cornell University,
Dr. Clark had charge ot the courses in forest
measurements, forest mapping, and wood tech-
nology, and assisted in the courses in silvi-
culture, forest protection, and forest adminis-
tration. Three months of each year were devot-
ed to practical forest mapping, timber estimat-
ing, and silviculture in the Adirondack Moun-
tains. The work in the mountains affording
as it did ample opportunity for practical work
and study of actual woods conditions at first
hand was, he considered,a very important feat-
ure of the school work. The Majority of the
graduates of this forest school have been em-
ployed by the United States Government, either
as members of the staff of the Nationat Bureau
of Forestry or in the Phillipine Forestry Ser-
vice. A number, however, have been employed
by practical lumbermen in connection with the
management of their timber lands.

The experience of Dr. Clark while connected
with the Bureau of Forestry will no doubt be
found of great value to him in his work in
Ontario, for the conditions found in the States

in which his investigations were made are in
many respects similar to those in this province.
The first four months were spent in the White
Mountains in New Hampshire investigating a
proposition to establish a national park in that
region, his duties including a study of the ex-
isting stand of timber, its present amount, the
rapidity of growth, natural regeneration of
timber trees, and the question of protection,
especially protection from fire. Some attention
was also given to the study of lumbering con-
ditions. Later, he was assigned to the mak-
ing of preliminary examinations of timber.land
tracts for which application for working plans

to examine and advise on the management of

of forestry which especially fits him for his
present position. While possessing the re-
quisite scientific training for the further devel-
opment of the Provincial forest policy of keep-
ing a valuable crop of trees growing, wher-
ever practical, on non-agricultural lands, he is
in the fullest sympathy with the lumbering in-
terests, which he regards as constituting the
most important department of any practical
System of forestry. We may therefore feel
assured that in any modification of policy
which he may recommend, the interests of the
timber limit owner as well as the public at
large will be protected as far as possible,

LOG FREIGHT RATES CONFIRMED.

The United Factories, of Newmarket, applied to the
Railway Commission for a reduction in the freight
tate charged by the Grand Trunk Railway for carry-
ing logs between Penetanguishene and Newmarket.

The rate now charged is four cents per 100 pounds.

The application was refused, the Board contending
that the old rate of three cents was not profitable to
the railway, but a temporary expedient to encourage
carriage to the new industry at Newmarket. For the
same distance on other portions of the Grand Trunk
74 cents per 100 pounds is charged, and against
this rate no complaint had been made. The Board
thereforé concluded that the present rate was moderate,

AUSTRALIAN REPORT.

Mr. D. H. Ross, of Melbourne, Aus., reports to the
Department of Trade and Commerce as follows:

CANADIAN TIMBER.—Five ships are now on voyage |
from Canada to Melbourne—four having sailed from
St. John—with cargoes of spruce. Stocks held locally
are not very extensive, and fair sales are being made.
Further shipments are anticipated before the end ot
this year, as the building trade is more active in Mel-
bourne than it has been for years past.

Doors, SASHES AND MOULDINGS.—To a British
Columbia manufacturer of doors, etc., has been for-
warded full particulars of tie local markets. The
Commonwealth customs duties are: Mouldings, 84
cents per 100 lineal feet ; sashes, 20 per cent. ad valo-
rem ; doors, 84 cents, $1.20 and $1.80, according to
thickness. With freights and duties to contend against
there is little prospect of business being done, and then
only when the mills are at the port of shipment.

i “THE CANADA LUMBERMAN- eke

CAPACITY OF PORTABLE SAW MILLS.

In the Wood-Worker E. L. Mason tells of
an 8-h.p. mill turning out from 4,000 to 6,000
feet per day with two men, a sawyer and fire-
man, the sawyer turning and placing his own
logs and the fireman doing the off-bearing.
Concerning this a correspondent says: Mr.
Mason may have been informed by some ore
that the mill in question did this amount of
work, and believed every word of it. We
often hear of how much lumber a certain mill
can cut in aday. No matter what owner or
sawyer you may ask the question, he will un-
doubtedly give you his best day’s run, never
referring to the poor ones. But under the
most favorable circumstances, with selected
logs, etc., there is not a sawyer (Mr. Mason

‘included) who would undertake to do this

amount of work with an 8-h.p. engine and one
man to assist him.

I have spoken to several sawyers about this,
and they all think Mr. Mason should cut one
cipher from his figures ; they could believe the
rest. If Mr. Mason’s sawyer can do what he
claims, I am willing to send a certified check
to the editor of this paper, for any reasonable
amount, he duplicating it, for all mill men
in this section are willing to take all bets
of this kind at any time. We will allow his
expenses to New Jersey from anywhere. He
can travel in a pullman and bring his valet
with him, and live retired if he can make good
his claims.

How much lumber to each h.p. will a cir-
cular saw mill cut? This is a question often
asked mill men and the manufacturers of saw
mills. The manufacturer will generally tell
you a 10-h.p. engine ought to saw from 3,000
to 5,000 feet per day. Mills from 30 to 4o-h.p.
ought to run 1,000 feet to each h.p., and mills
of larger power ought to run more than 1,000
feet to each h.p., as the friction is proportion-
ately less in large mills than in small ones.
The power required to keep up the momentum
of a small mill, we will say, for instance, 10-
h.p., and that required for one of 20-h.p.,
would be in proportion to their size and weight,
but the leverage or friction of the saw while in
the log would be nearly the same on each mill
while running at the same speed, and while the
larger mill would stand additional feed,, the
advantage would be all in the large one’s
favor. The 20-h.p. mill should cut twice the
amount of lumber per day as a Io-h.p. mill
will cut. But this rule of proportion dare not
be carried beyond a certain limit, the reason
being that the 10-h.p. mili is altogether too
small for saw mill purposes and will not stand
enough feed in large logs, or even medium
ones, to keep from heating the saw, causing
loss of time and very often poor lumber.

I refer only to the capacity of mills without
edgers, etc., where the sawyer is obliged to cut
everything to size, and not simply take off the
slabs, the edger and resaws doing the rest.
There is one point the manufacturer overlooks,
and that is, how much longer time does it take
to place and turn a log on a 20-h.p. mill than
to do the same labor on a mill of 30 or 4o-
h.p.? The labor is one and the same, no

matter how great or small your power may be,
where the labor is done by hand.

The time

consumed in placing logs on mill, turning,
gigging back and setting out for the next cut
tar exceeds the time saw is in the log, which
is the only time much power is needed.

As an illustration, the other day we placed
and cut a 12-foot log which cut 172 feet of
lumber. The saw was in the log 139 seconds
out of 12 minutes’ total time consumed. Tak-
ing only the time the saw was in the log, this
engine of 20-h.p. cut 1.237 feet per second,
or 44,532 feet for ten hours’ work. Taking
total time consumed (12 minutes), would bring
this down to 8,600 feet for ten hours. Now,
if a 4o-h.p. mill would stand twice the
amount of feed, we would save one-half of
139 seconds, or 69% seconds, or about one
hours’ work per day, which
with the larger
lumber.

would mean,
mill, about goo feet more
This log cut easily. I do not
wish to convey the impression that our mill
would cut 8,600 feet each day, though it

would it all logs were alike and sawed into
the same sizes, no doubt. Other observations
taken on this subject will be continued in next
issue.

circular side and 2,000 ties per day.

The Palmer Bar mill, one of the Cranbrook
Lumber Company’s properties, is a small port-
able mill with a capacity of 15,000 feet per day.

The Cranbrook mill is situated on a site of
ten acres adjoining the tracks of the Crows

of ties for the C.P.R. last year when it is
known that it took 250 train loads, consisting
of 16 cars to the train, to carry them to their
destination on the prairies. The excellence of

clean, airy stables and the neat and well-kept
appearance of the different plants.

The company has been particularly fortunate
in securing for its management Mr. A. Leach
as president and Mr. W. Colpman as manager.
They are both particularly energetic and cap-
able business men and are favorably known as
men of sterling qualities, securing for them the
esteem and respect of Cranbrook and the entire
Kootenay country, As evidence of their

shrewdness of management they have sur- a
rounded themselves with energetic and capable —
employees who are as proud of the growth of
the institution and as solicitous for its contin-

J W. C. WELLS,

Situated at Palliser, at the foot of the Rock-

ies, twelve miles east of Golden, on a level
park-like expanse of greensward in the valley
of the roaring Kicking Horse, lies the neat
little mill owned by W. C. Wells, late member
of the Provincial. Cabinet at Victoria. All
around are lofty snow-clad peaks, which coup-
led with the surpassing loveliness of the valley
and the rush of the sparkling waters of the
swift-flowing river, cannot -fail to cause the
traveller to pause, lost in wonder and amaze-
ment. .
The plant consists of a saw and planing
mill erected in the year 1886, just after the
passing through of the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way. It was at first only intended to run on
a small scale for the purpose of cutting and
marketing the surrounding limits, but since
the great Northwest began to grow in popu- —
lation with such rapid strides, the demands
made upon the output, both on account of the
excellence of the lumber and the nearness to
the market, have been so great as to mecessi-
tate a vast increase in the capacity, so that to-
day the visitor finds a fair-sized mill with an
output of 50,000 feet per day. It is equipped
with the most modern machinery and all the
known specialties of the day.

On account of the dryness of the atmos-
phere it has not been found necessary to erect
a dry kiln, the lumber being piled in the yards
and rapidly dried by the scorclais rays of the
hot sun.

Mr. Wells owns 10,000 acres of fir, cedar
and spruce, the cut of which is driven to the
mill after a course of fifteen miles down the
Beaverfoot and Kicking Horse Rivers. His
dimensions, boards, ship lap, flooring, ceiling, —
siding and mouldings are in great favor all
through the Territories and Manitoba, where
the entire output is marketed.

Despite the depressed condition of the trade
generally in the Province, the demands made
upon the mill have become so yast during the

oe. ue td
eae ;

‘ = NOVEMBER, 1904

past few months that Mr. Wells has finally de-
cided to double the capacity of the mill by
putting in a large gang saw, additional plan-
ers and one boiler to increase the power. He
purposes spending about $12,000.

as lumber circles, having represented the

During the past few years he has allowed his

son, Mr. Geo. P. Wells, to manage the more
active part of the business. That George, as
he is popularly known by the surrounding in-
habitants, has succeeded in keeping up the
high standard of excellence set by his father,
is strong ev'dence of the sterling qualities he
possesses. He is ably assisted by Mr. W. A.
Anstie as secretary and book-keeper.

THEGREAT NORTHERN LUMBER COMPANY.

The above company was organized in De-

cember, 1903, in Vancouver, with W. D. S.

~ ager and Wm. M. Loree as vice-president.

| With ample capital to work with they pur-

chased the mill, logging outfit and timber lim-

its of A. D. Bell, the mill being situated on

False Creek and possessing first-class trans-
portation facilities both by rail and water.

The mill as itstands at present is 22 feet
long by 80 feet broad and possesses a capacity
- __ of 10,000 feet per day of ten hours. This out-
put, however, is much too small to satisfy the
. enterprising gentlemen at the head of affairs,
they already having contracts out for a new
mill which is to be 40 feet by 100 feet and
equipped with thoroughly modern machinery.
A large dry kiln, 20 feet broad by 120 feet long,
is also to be constructed for the purpose of stor-
* ing the lumber as it is manufactured. The

capacity of the mill when completed will be

20,000 feet per day of ten hours.

Unlike any other mill in British Columbia,
the motive power is derived from an 80 horse-
power electric motor, the current being car-

JOSEPH CHEW’S SHINGLE MILL.

In Vancouver there are several large mills
turning out red cedar shingles by the million
yearly, and among these is that owned and
operated by Joseph Chew and established four
years ago. His well and modernly equipped
plant is located at the foot of Cambie street,
on False Creek, occupying nearly 300 feet of
water front and being bounded in the rear by
the C.P.R. tracks, affording it unsurpassed
shipping facilities.

Mr. Chew owns 7,000 acres of red cedar, fir
and spruce, the manufactured product finding
a ready market in all the provinces, while large
stocks are shipped yearly to Australia. He
estimates his output at 100,000 a day and from
25 to 30 million yearly, over 13 million of this
going to Ontario.

The main buildingis 32 x 75feet and is equip-
ped with two Boss machines manufactured by
B. R. Mowry & Son, of Gravenhurst, Ont.,
while Letson & Burpee recently installed two
Dunbar machines.

ADVERTISING RATES ON APPLICATION.

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN is published in the interests of the
lumber, wood-working and allied industries, being the only
representative in Canada of these important interests, It aims
at giving full and timely information on all subjects touching
these interests, and invites free discussion by its readers,

Especial pains are taken to secure for publication in the
WEEKLY LUMBERMAN the latest and most trustworthy market
quotations throughout the world, so as to afford to the trade at
home and abroad information on which it can rely in its
operations. Subscribers will find the small amount they pay
for the CANADA LUMBERMAN quite insignificant as compared
with its value tothem. There is not an individual in the trade,
or specially interested in it, who should not be on our list, thus
obtaining the present benefit and aiding and encouraging us to
render it even more complete. 3 ‘

Advertisers will receive careful attention and liberal treat-
ment. For manufacturing and supply firms wishing to bring
their goods to the attention of. owners and operators of saw
and planing mills, wood-working factories, pulp mulls, etc.
the CANADA LUMBERMAN is undoubtedly the cheapest and
most profitable advertising medium. Special attention is
directed to ““‘WANTED”’ and “‘ For SALE” advertisements, which
are inserted in a conspicuous position on front page of the
Weekly Edition.

CURTAILMENT A WISE POLICY.

It is only natural that a manufacturer of
lumber should endeavor to secure a return as
large as possible from his invested capital. If
he did not aiin at so doing, he would be
neglecting the essential point for which all
The methods adopted to ob-
tain the most remunerative results are in some
instances questionable, and perhaps the most
common mistake is the idea that a mill must
at all times be operated to its maximum capa-
city. Quality is too often made subordinate
to quantity, with the result that much badly
sawn lumber is put upon the market and the
producer realizes a smaller sum for his raw
material in manufactured condition than if the
same material had been carefully sawn.

Granting that the quality of the lumber can
‘-be maintained when the mili is operated to its
utmost, it does not follow that a restriction of
the output is not often a wise policy to be pur-
sued. The manufacturer who adopts sucha
course will seldom be found with heavy stocks
which he cannot dispose of, nor is he likely to
feel the effects of the periodical depressions in
the trade as keenly as his confrere who has

business exists.

been forcing the capacity of his mill. He may
not make as much money in times of abnormal
prosperity, but at all other times the financial
balance is likely to be in his favor. His policy
will sustain the stability of the market fora
longer period, while at the same time con-
serving his timber supply.

The British lumber market, which has been
in a depressed condition this year, would prob-
ably have weakened toa much greater extent
but for the policy of curtailment which has
been adopted by the exporting countries.
Holders of lumber have thus been assured that
no large surplus stocks would be dumped upon
the market next year, and have therefore been

encouraged to sustain prices. Canadian man-
ufacturers have been among the leaders in this
movement and are to be strongly commended
for their action. If we might offer a word of
advice, it would be that they adhere strictly
to their agreements and curtail the production
of logs as much as possible. In this re-
spect they cannot be too sincere for the good
of the trade.

Unfortunately, the situation in British Col-
umbia has not improved, and the solution”
would seem to lie in limiting the production
and in co-operative effort towards the regu-
lation of the futue output. The closing down
of all the mills for a briet period at least would
probably be a wise step.

THE DEALER A NECESSITY.

The dealer in lumber—whether wholesale or
retail—is not as a rule given as much credit
for his work as he is. entitled to. That his
position has been improved as compared with
earlier days is quite true, but there is still a
disposition to regard him as existing in some
measure for the purpose of usurping the pro-
fits which would otherwise go to the manu-
facturer. This is far trom the real facts, and
the sooner the idea is entirely dispelled the
sooner will the relations between buyers and
sellers of lumber become more harmonious
and the business proceed along more natural
lines.

The dealer is a very necessary agent between
the manufacturer and the consumer, and, if
given opportunity, is likely to be of assistance
to both. It may be possible for the manufac-
turer to do a successful business by selling
direct to the consumer, but his annual inven-
tory is likely to show heavy losses by reason
of extending credit to persons of whose stand-
ing he had little or no knowledge, and it is
very doubtful that a lumber business could be
conducted on a strictly cash basis.

In addition to seeking to develop new mar-
kets for the mill product, the dealer assumes
the position of financial guarantor to the
manufacturer. He pays the manufacturer
cash in, say, sixty days, whereas he may be
obliged to carry the consumer’s account for six
months or a year. The manufacturer is there-
fore able to do business on a smaller capital
than if he were extending credit to a large
number of customers. Besides, the dealer is
acquainted with local conditions in a manner
that the manufacturer could not possibly be,
and, knowing the doubtful accounts, will exert
his best efforts to prevent loss. —

It is true that a dealer may become involved
and a loss be thus: incurred by the manufac-
turer, but with the number of his customers
circumscribed the danger is greatly minimized.

It is not easy to indicate the line which
should mark the legitimate field of the dealer.
This has been under discussion for some years
in the United States and has not yet been sat-
isfactorily settled, but there is a growing dis-
position there to protect the dealer as far as
possible, experience having proven that noth-
ing is gained by passing him by.

The withdrawal of the Mountain Lumber
Manufacturers’ Association of British Colum-
bia from the honorary membership list of the

Western Retail Lumbermen’s Association wa:
followed by rumors that the manufacturers ha¢
decided to ignore the retailers as a body and
sell direct to consumers. The difficulties
which such a plan would involve are very ap
parent, especially when it is considered that
the settlement of the North-West is of recent
development and that new comers are daily
being added to the list of lumber consumers.
It is therefore very satisfying to be assured
by the Secretary of the Mountain Manufac-
turers’ Association that the rule general!
recognized throughout all manufacturing in-
dustries in Canada, to sell to the trade only
unless perhaps in some exceptional cases, will
still be observed.

ADVANCE OF THE MUTUAL _INSURANCE
MOVEMENT. ei

The decision of the Canadian Manufacturers’
Association to establish a fire insurance de:
partment covering mercantile risks is but an
outcome of the growth of popular sentiment _
in favor of mutual insurance. The Canadian
insurance companies having made a material
advance in their rates, and this additional ex.
pense having borne heavily upon the manu-—
facturers, a committee was appointed to make
an exhaustive investigation into the causes for
such increase and to suggest some means of
securing relief. The finding of this committee,
in the opinion of the members of the Asso-
ciation, warranted the organization of an
insurance department, which is now in pro-
cess of formation.

The investigations of the committee seem to
show that the old line companies are doing a
profitable business notwithstanding that they
are operating under excessive fixed charges. —
The premiums on fire insurance in Canada
have been steadily increasing and are now
very high. The average rate on all policies —
written by the companies doing business in —
1898 was 1.26 per cent., and in that year
34-91 per cent. of the premiums was distribut-
ed for expenses of management, reserve fund
and dividends. In 1902 the rate of premium
had increased to 1.47 per cent., and 61.74 per —
cent. of the premiums went for the purposes
above named. For thirty-four years the com- —
panies collected in premiums $62,250,192 _
more than they returned in losses, which —
amount is 32.5 per cent. of their total prem-
ium income. For the last eight years the per- _
centage was 36.34 per cent. ¥

The figures obtained by the committee do not _
show that insurance in Canada has been un- k
profitable, as in 1902 the dividends of the ten —
companies doing the largest business ranged —
from 5.9 per cent. to 90 per cent. on the paid-
up capital, the average dividend paid by these
companies being 26.43 per cent. ie

The weakest point in the methods employe d
by the regular companies is stated to be their
system of inspection, which is little more than
aname. The person with a good risk is com-
pelled to help pay for his neighbor with a poor
one, which is doubtless a very wrong policy,
as it does not encourage as it should the pro-
tection of property. r

The Association will endeavor to have each

risk stand on its own merits and will collect
the premiums on the basis of scientific inspec-

ORY

“tion. It is proposed to eliminate commissions
reduce expenses and return profits to policy
holders, and the basis of fixing premiums is

intended to offer every encouragement to the
1 insuring public to protect their own property.

Some lumber manufacturers who are mem-
bers of the association will probably take
advantage of the facilities thus offered, although
the lumber mutual insurance companies are

q doing a great deal in the way of providing

equitable insurance on lumbering property.

_ The success of these companies in the United

States has been little less than phenomenal.
The Lumber Mutual Fire Insurance Company,
of Boston, are now paying 30 per cent. divi-
dend to policy holders, and it may be that
other companies have accomplished results
equally as favorable.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The British Columbia Government recently
seized some logs and logging equipment of
persons who were operating on the Nicomekl
river, on the ground that payment of the ex-
port tax imposed by the Government had been
evaded. The royalties were paid under pro-
test, and it is understood to be the intention of
the interested parties to test the constitution-
ality of the law placing an export tax on logs.
On the other hand, the statement is made that
the parties were cutting timber on lands within
the Dominion railway belt which are not
liable to the provincial tax, and that there are
a few stretches of land along the Nicomekl
river the titles to which were granted by the
Provincial Government before the transfer was
made to the Dominion Government, the timber
thus being subj2ct to the export royalties. The

logging firms consequently made the mistake ©

of assuming that the lands upon which they
were operating were under the control of the
Dominion Government. The situation is inter-

esting, as many believe that the Government

was being wilfully cheated.

The proposal of the Canadian Manufacturers’
Association to have an excursion to Great
Britain next summer is a very commendable
idea and likely to be heartily supported by the
members. Notwithstanding that Great Britain

has learned much of Canada in late years,
there still exists but a vague idea of the extent
of our manufactories. There are in Canada
about 15,000 manufacturers, 1,500 of whom,
including the most progressive firms, are mem-
- bers of the Canadian Manufacturers’ Associa-
tion. A visit to Great Britain by such a repre-
sentative body of business men would doubtless
have far reaching results, not alone in the ex-
tension of our foreign trade, but in promoting
a closer alliance between the people of the two
countries. That the trip would be a pleasure-
able one is assured by the offer of the repre-
sentatives of the London Chamber of Com-
merce to give their services to make the ex-
cursion a success from the time the members
arrive until their departure. It is hoped that

~ the excursion may be arranged for and that
every manufacturer who can do so will take
_ advantage of it.

Speaking particularly of the white pine mar-
ket, a prominent mannfacturer said : ‘‘Three
things are in favor of a firm lumber market
in the United States, namely, cheap money,
good crops, and low stocks, and under these
conditions the Americans do not go to sleep.”
Probably before this issue reaches the reader,
the Presidential election across the line will be
a thing of the past, and there is little doubt
that the present incumbent will be returned to
office. The tariff is therefore likely to remain
practically unchanged for another four years,
and there is a disposition to expect that the
favorable conditions above mentioned will
sustain the white pine market and probably
cause a hardening of values at a little later
date.

During the past three or four years the labor
account has beena very heavy burdenupon lum-
bermen, while at the same time it has no doubt
exerted a sustaining influence on lumber prices.
The advance in the wages of woodsmen does
not by any means represent the increased
amount expended for labor in getting out logs,
for instead of the better pay being considered
by the men an incentive todo a good day’s
work, the reverse seems to have been the case
to an almost incredible extent. ‘‘It seems
very singular,” remarked Mr. W. A. Charlton,
M.P.P., to the writer a few days ago, ‘‘ but it
is a fact that two men when wages were $22
per month would do more work than three men
when wages are $35 per month. When they
are getting $22 per month they are anxious to
keep their ‘positions, while at $35 they are
independent.” Mr. Charlton has given some
attention to the labor question and claims that
the results have worked out as above stated.
His views coincide with those expressed by
many other lumbermen, who have been com-
pelled of late years to employ much larger
crews of men to get out their usual cut of logs.
Another item of expense in this connection has
been due to ‘jumpers ” abandoning work
after their railroad fares had been paid. In
one or two instances, however, these ‘‘jumpers”
have been severely punished, which may have
the effect of suppressing the habit.

There is no brighter mind in the lumber
trade than Mr. R. H. Alexander, manager of
the British Columbia Mills, Timber and Trad-
ing Company, of Vancouver, B.C. He is one
of the most active and influential members of
the Pacific Coast Lumber Manufacturers’ As-
sociation, and at a recent meeting of that
body expressed the following views on the
cargo branch :

‘“You will agree with me that the close
association work of two years ago in a great
measure produced the satisfactory results and
the good trade that followed. The time was
propitious and the efforts to raise prices was of
course assisted by these conditions, but the
manufacturers would not have been in posi-
tion to take advantage of these good times
had not the association been formed and

materially assisted in the work. Times were
good but the lumbermen were not receiving
good prices for their product. We started in
with the association work and the results were
most satisfactory and of great value. Then
we concluded we could draw the lines
a little closer and raise prices, and | am
sure that that action becoming known through
other trades was fruitful of good times and
good prices.

‘‘When the association disbanded prices

again taken on the part of the manufacturers
to get together and improve them.

‘‘ Why should prices be less than then ?

‘‘ The volume of business shows to be bet-
ter. A very small percentage of difference
exists between the first six months of 1903 and
1904, a decrease of only 9,000,000 feet ina
total of 883,000,000 feet. Why should this
small difference result in cutting prices in half?
We have heard no complaints of the prices of
our products. In fact in some markets they
would be better satisfied with the higher prices
than with the low. Neither were the prices so
high that it brought other lumber into the
field or stopped the use of lumber.

‘‘ There is but one reason why the mills of

‘the North Pacific Coast are getting the low

prices for their lumber that they are, one fault
and that is ourselves—lack ot association and
harmony to work together. If we come to-
gether again some results can be obtained. I
am mystified as to the causes of the breaking
up of the old cargo association, but whatever
the cause it should not now be insuperable and
it behooves us to get together on a broader
basis. One portion of the lumber trade can-
not be in a healthy condition and secure large
prices while another portion remains unsatis-
factory.

‘In this trade as in all others the cause of
higher or lower prices rests in the matter of
supply and demand and that is where associa-
tion work can be made effective. If we should
wait until the supply only equals the demand
we would wait a long time. Looking over the
figures we find that the producing capacity
based on a ten hours run has increased to over
five billicn feet per year, while the whole vol-
ume of business, rail,vessel and local, amounts
to only three and one half billions. It would
seem to be hopeless to wait for the ordinary
course of supply and demand to bring about
It is theretore-only
through the resource of association work that
some method of limiting the production can
be reached. That has got to be done.

‘‘T recognize that we cannot better the
conditions without coming together and taking
some concerted action reducing the produc-
tion. This means a very large sacrifice on the
part of some of us. However, I cannot see
why people are not willing to make a sacrifice.
It would have been infinitely better to have
remained in the association and continued our
work in harmony than to have gone to pieces
as we did. Nowsome of the mills have the
impression that to get a profit they must doa
very great amount of business. I do not be-
lieve that any mill can by doing a vast volume
ot business make up a profit or any profit at
all. If $3 can be made by concerted action it
means that if there is only $1 in it that three
times as much business has to be done. This
is not to be thought ot. We can not have
good prices and do a large amount of busi-
ness at the same time. Now there are more
people to do the business and more people
doing business than there is a demand for.”

PRACTICAL HINTS ON SAWS—HOME
PATRIOTISM.

By A. J. BURTON.
When my brain becomes languid and ceases
to produce the desired line of new thought, I
very often get out the old numbers of the trade

journals and look them over for n2w ideas, -

and while reading over the articles written by
others, I get my criticizing machinery in oper-
ation on what some other fellow claims to be
the only way of doing things, and ten to one I
pick up new ideas that had not occurred to me
before.

There has been a number of interesting ar-
ticles in the columns of the trade journals upon
the subject of the necessary amount of crown
a band saw should have to make it hold its
position on the wheels while in the cut. It
appears to me that filers differ greatly on this
point. I am pleased, however, to see by the

Mr. A. J. BURTON,
Manager A. J. Burton Saw Company, Vancouver, B.C.

journals that each year the filers are gradually
learning that crown in the back of a single cut
band saw is essential to quality and quantity
of lumber. Readers of the CANADA LUMBERMAN
may call to mind an articie by the writer five
or six years ago, when I strongly advocated
that a single cut band saw should have 1/32
inch crown in five feet. At the same time,
several brother filers wrote articles attempting
to show that a saw would give the same re-
sults with a straight back. To-day I find that
most of these straight back advocates are: now
converted to the crown back (they must have
added a new wrinkle to their horn). I wish
this to be understood as complimentary to
these converts for their wise change of opinion,
and not the meaning a farmer would under-
stand when buying an old black cow, upon
whose horns every wrinkle after six years of
age lessens the value of the animal. With a
filer, every wrinkle he gets on his horn adds to
his value, both to himself and his employer.

Going back to saws and crown, the argu-
ment advanced by some saw makers and many
filers is that the fact that double cut band saws
are straight on both edges is sufficient to de-
mon strate the necessity! or singlecut saws to be
straight also. This theory does not stand for
the following reasons:

A single cut band saw works under entirely
different conditions than does a double cut
band saw.

First, a single cut saw runs with only one of
its edges (the front) off the wheels, and the
back always being on the wheels will con-
sequently be tighter on the back than on the
teeth. It is necessary, therefore, to crown the
back of a single cut to overcome this.

Second, a double cut saw is always wider
than the wheels, and both edges run off alike,
therefore it is necessary that the saw be straight

/

et Pag al

Pei: aides Fae CANADA -LUMBERMAN |

on both edges in order that it be strained up
evenly when on the mill.

I trust that the above will explain this mat-
ter to all those interested in this subject.

There is another point on which I wish to
speak. It appears to me there is a consider-
able amount of prejudice among the millmen
against the double cut band saw. This should
not exist, for the reason that there are a great
number in use giving highest results. It is up
to the filer to produce good lumber and lots of
it. It is a poor excuse for a filer to lay his
trouble on this or that make of mill, as there
are hundreds of all makes in operation in the
United States and Canada.

I believe in buying all we can at home,and to
prove my assertion will say I have filed for most
every make of band mill made in the United
States and Canada,both single and double cut,

_ and I can say with great pride for Canada, and

not boastingly, that the mills made by the
Wm. Hamilton Company and the Waterous
Engine Works Company will cut as much and
as good lumber per day as any make of mill
‘* Uncle Sam ” ever turned out.

There seems to be a great feeling among
millmen of Canada that they must buy their
saws, emery wheels and file room supplies in
the United States in order to get the best. It
is difficult to convince them of the fact that
they can buy as good an article at home. I
often wonder if it is possible that the people
ot the United States think they must buy lum-
ber in Canada in order to get the best. If
they did it would certainly be a good thing for
Canada, and our millmen should not be
blamed for encouraging them to continue to
think so, and if we look on the subject from an
American manufacturer’s business point, it is
only quite natural that they should con-
tinue to impress on our people that their goods
are the best, for the reason that they have the
goods for sale and we have the market.

How many of our readers realize the fact
that many of the best tradesmen in the United
States are Canadians and at the head of the
largest establishments? Why is it that these

! : EY rue >

‘men are now looked upon as_ experts when

only a few years ago they were considered to
be only ordinary Canadian workmen? It ap-
pears to ine that the Canadian employers them-
selves did not realize they had good men and
did not give the men a chance to show their

ability, consequently their modern ideas are

checked and the men gu to the Unites States,
where they can better themselves and soon de-
velop into experts. This is what becomes of
our best tradesmen, and I think if there is any
reason why the United States can excel Can-
ada, it is because the American companies
have Canadians at the head of their establish-
ments in the capacity of president, manager,
foreman or expert tradesmen. I will give a
few facts which are well worth consideration.

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN

Hon. John Charlton, of Lynedoch, Ont., has formally
retired from politics, .after having represented
North Norfolk continuously since 1872 in the House of
Commons. As he has been in failing health for some
time, his retirement was not unexpected. Mr. Charl-
ton has long been regarded as one of the best authori-
ties on the industrial and commercial condition of
Canada. He was a member of the Joint High Com-
mission appointed to consider the trade relations be-
tweed Canada and the United States, and it is said
that he understood the trade question better than any
other commissioner. In business as a lumberman he
has always been successful.

Tur CANADA LUMBERMAN received a pleasant call
last month from Mr. J. L. Campbell, President of the
Western Retail Lumbermen’s Association, Mr. Camp-
bell has been residing for some time in Toronto with
the object of getting rid of the effects of a serious ill-

ness which laid him aside from business last winter
and prevented his attendance at the last convention of
the Association of which he is the chief officer. The
Association marked its appreciation of his valuable
services, however, by unanimously re-electing him to
the presidency. Accompanied by his wife, Mr. Camp-
bell proposes to spend the coming winter in Toronto.
He has many interesting stories to tell concerning the
development of the Canadian Northwest, of which he
is one of the pioneers.

The Trois Pistoles Lumber Company are about to
build a saw mill at Trois Pistoles, Que., in which vicin-
ity they have acquired 155,000 acres of virgin forest.

BELT ADJUSTMENTS IN THE COOPER SHOP.

Figure 1 represents the incorrect manner in
which some belts are prepared for making the
union with laces. I have noticed defective
joints in belts in cooperage shops of this char-
acter. The makers of the belting leather
never calculated that the belts would be joined
in any way except the straight, parallel align-
ment. In the making of the belt leather, pre-
cautions are taken to overcome stetching of
one side of the belt more than the other, by
cutting the belt properly from the hide. If
the piece were cut from the hide so as to in-

volve portions of the center, the sides, the head
and offals, then there would be about as many,
different degrees of. stretching of the belt in
different parts, resulting in a wabbly affair that’
But the’

i
4

belt manufacturers reduce these differences in
stretching of the belting to a minimum by.
selecting the belt stock from such portions of
the hide as will assure even stretching, uniform
elasticity and evenness in general of the fibre.
The belt is finished and sent to the users. In
many of the power-consuming instiutions there
are power engineers who oversee the work of the
belting adjustments and correct imperfect set-
ting. But in the average shop there are only
the ordinary workman to care for the belts.
A specialist is not employed nor would it be
practicable to have one. Therefore in exam-
ining the belts one finds various conditions
arising in the cooperage shop for imperfect
results and ruined belting. The illustration
given in the first figure is to show how the
belt butts are often united, resulting in drawing
the belt line from its true course, and making
the belt run from side to side on pulleys. The
true line would be ‘‘b”, taking ‘‘a” as the

would fail to give effective power.

center. The upper end of the belt line inclines
to the right on the line ‘‘c”, leaving a gap in
one side of the union which the belt lacing
cannot cover. The best way to get the union
right is to proceed as in Fig 2. First get the
ends of the leather cut right by using a try
square for marking off, then cut with sharp
knife. See that the butts or leather ends are
even, and harmonize one with the other,drawa
straight line across each with awl, using square,
about 1 inch back from the edge. This makes
line ‘‘ d” for the hole series. To get the holes

to correspond, draw cross line ‘‘d”’ from one

to the other butt like ‘‘e.” Now all that is
needed is to get a sharp punch, modern belt
punch design, and punch the rows of holes.
The belt is now ready for uniting.

MAKING THE JOINT.

Fig. 3 illustrates a good mode of getting a
belt union jointed up for general service.
There are, of course, the ‘‘ hinge” union, the
‘running ” union, etc. But for everyday ser-
vice, the plain, substantial jointing in this il-
lustration answers all purposes.

You begin the process of lacing at hole ~

”

‘‘o,” and at ‘‘h” dropping the lace ends
through and drawing tight. Bring up lace
‘*h” at the other end, so as to come through
a

Then cross over and go down in the next
hole in order, and cross underneath and come
up again in the next hole in order, and con-
tinue to repeat this operation until the other
side of the union is reached, when the course
may be gone over again if strength is needed.
In some cases it is best to double the operation
by using the other lace end at same time and
going through the same motions, but in the

reverse holes. The final ends of the laces are”
dropped through and up again once or twice,
as at ‘‘f” and ‘‘j,” for purposes of securing
the lace ends. > a ;

HEAVY LACE.

Fig. 4 represents a heavy form of union
sometimes used in the larger sizes of cooper-
age machinery. This is made with the crosses
on the upper side in the sketch, but in the
running of the belt the crosses are usually run —
out from the wheel faces. To make this
union start at ‘‘k,” cross to ‘*1,” then to
‘‘m,” and thence to ‘‘n,” and so on until all —

the loops are made, after which the same may
be gone through with the other lace end, thus —
finishing the lacing.
SOME WHEEL ADJUSTMENTS.
One finds quite an array of modern types of
machinery in the up-to-date cooperage shop. —
It sometimes happens that systems of power
transmission of a special character are needed, 4
as, for example,.as shown in Fig. 5. This ©
consists in the arrangement of wheels not on ~
the same plane being connected. This system
is used occasionally in cooperage shops. Two
idler or guide wheels are needed in this com-
bination, and these are signified “‘r,” *‘r,” in —
the drawing. The driving wheel may be
either ‘‘p” or ‘“‘s.”. The system is used for ;
two or three reasons. One is that in case it is —
necessary to increase the arc of contact of the —
belt on the upper wheel ‘‘ p,” the idlers can be
so arranged as to close the belt over more and
nearly envelop the wheel ‘‘p.” Again, it may —
occur that there is power needed for trans-
mission on the line of one of the idlers, in
which place the idler bearing is substituted for
a regular wheel shaft and a pulley is placed —
thereon.

QUARTER TURNS.

The quarter turn systems are frequently re-
sorted to in cooperage and other shops, par-
ticularly those shops in which high-speed
modern machiaery has been installed in recent
years. Most of the newest designs of ma-
chinery require adjustments of power service
for higher speed than the older designs. It
happens now and then that the quarter or the

_half turn is needed to comply with the power

systems, and Fig. 6 illustrates the process of
setting the same. When a belt is needed to
connect two wheels whose respective planes of
revolution are at an angle with one another,
as in the cut, it is necessary to do some set-
ting. The adjustment should be such that the
center line of the length of the belt shall ap-
proach the pulley in the exact plane of the re-
volution of the pulley. The line of motion of
the belt in receding from the wheel is not im-
portant. It is when advancing on the pulley
that the line must be right. In some of the
shops recently visited by the writer, cases were
found in which the adjustments could not be
secured with sufficient accuracy, and to make
up for this, a wider pulley ‘‘v’ was used.
Thus the wheel ‘‘t” of ordinary width could
pay the belt to the cylinder-like wheel ‘‘v” at
various points, and still the belt would remain
on, because of the wide surface. But this is
not the mechanical or wormanship way to do
the thing. The one wheel should be no wider
than the other, nor need it be if the setting is
right. Let ‘“‘t” and ‘‘v” represent the
wheels of the quarter-turn system. The lower
part of wheel ‘‘t” turns towards the wheel
“vy.” The center line of the belt is on the
plane of rotation of ‘‘v,” and will of its own
- accord find the center line, and hold to it so
long as the wheels turn in the one direction.
If reversed, the line of rotation is altered and
the belt will seek a new plane and perhaps run
off. The rule is that the advancing line of

belt must travel in the line of rotation ot the |

pulley, After finding this line of rotation, and
setting the wheels accordingly, no trouble will
ensue with regularly. made pulleys.

FOR FAST SERVICE ON SHARP TURNS.

In the cooperage shop, as in most manufac-

turing places, there are always cases in which

special turns at high speed are needed in belts.
To make the common splice for this quick ser-
vice on wheels of small diameter would mean
that the laces would be bent often, and in a
short while would wear off and tear out.

Theretore the type of union exhibited in Fig.
7 has been adopted by many. First you mark
off the line for punching the holes. The holes
are punched practically the same as in the
usual kind of belt joint. But instead of using
the two ends of the lace leather and going
across the union from hole to hole, the single
end of the lace is taken, and entrance is first
made at ‘‘1.” To get a grip on the leather, a
double is made here, coming up at ‘‘ 2,” with
the lace. Then, instead of crossing over the
joint, the lace leather is passed through the
lips or butts of the belt, coming over to hole
‘¢ 32,” going down through the same, to come
up at ‘¢4.” Then down through between the
ends of the belt again to ‘‘5,” and thence to
‘©6,.” and so on to the end. At ‘‘7” the lace
begins to make its final grip to hold in posi-
tion, going to ‘‘ 8,” and then out at ‘‘ 9.”
The one strand, therefore, answers the pur-
pose, anda light, flexible, elastic, hinge-like
lacing results that can circuit the wheels of
small size with rapidity without straining the
union.—National Coopers’ Journal.

FIGURING COST.
*The matter of figuring cost is one which

enters so largely into the problem of success-

tul manufacturing that even the most profit-
able business can hardly afford to disregard it.
Where keen competition draws the dividing
line between profit and loss so closely that it
is difficult to say on which side a firm will find
itself at the end of the fiscal year, it becomes
an absolute necessity, says ‘‘C.W.L.” in The
Wood-Worker. Various systems, good, bad
and indifferent, have been devised, but so
much depends upon circumstances that it is
impossible to formulate one which will meet
all requirements without making it so cumber-

some and costly as to defeat the very object
which it was intended to attain. The simpler
and more direct that it can be made, the bet-
ter, because less expensive.

Asa rule, I have found that cards kept by
each man, showing the amount of time ex-

TORONTO

pended on each job, are unreliable and take
too much time. Very few workmen, especial-
ly where they have several changes a day,
will keep their time with any degree of accur-
acy. Where many hands are employed, the
work of entering and tabulating the cards is
considerable and means an increased force of
clerical help. However, I did not start with
the intention of criticizing others, but of out-

lining a simple system which costs little and
has proved itself well adapted to our needs.

In the first place, we keep an accurate ac-
count of the daly production of each depari-
ment, which is a simple matter, as our line of
goods is fairly uniform in size and grade. The
cost book is lined up as appears from the copy.
At the end of the week the output of each de-
partment is entered and compared with the pre-
vious week, as shown. After the pay-roll is
made up, that is also entered, and dividing
the pay-roll by production gives the average
cost per piece absolutely. The total pay-roll,
divided by the output of the factory, of course,
is the average labor cost of the finished goods.
Materials are figured separately. At the end
of six months the footings are compiled, and
the average labor cost of each article appears
as a fair basis of co.rparison for future use.

Of course, there is more or less fluctuation
from week to week, but any department show-
ing a marked or continual increase in cost is
due for an overhauling. While it is evident
that this method of cost keeping would not be
adapted to all kinds of manufacturing business,
yet its simplicity, accuracy and inexpensive-
ness commend it to us as the most feasible
and practical plan we have ever tried.

CRAIG MINE CRYSTAL CORUNDUM WHEELS

Our Pure Crystal Corundum Saw Gummers have
no equal for their rapid, cool, cutting properties.

Read the following from Bulletin 180 of the United States Geological Survey, which says :

“Often a distinction is made between emery and corundum, many persons not recognizing emery as a variety of
corundum.

Emery is a mechanical] admixture ot corundum and magnetite or hematite. It is, of course, the presence
of corundum in the emery that gives to it its abrasive qualities and makes it of commercial value, and the abrasive
efficiency of emeries varies according to the percentage of corundum they contain.”

Emery is imported, mined by Greeks and Turks and contains only about 25%
corundum, Our Crystal Corundum is guaranteed to be 98% pure alumina, a Can-
adian product, mined and manufactured by Canadians for Canadians.

This is Mr. Morrison’s fourth year and terminates the
present contract. In winding up this. season's opera-

sheer booms, and this is taken to mean that he does
not intend to again figure on corporatior driving when
tenders are called for in the ordinary course this Fall.

The Trois Pistoles Pulp & Lumber Company, which

- Spears, Reuben T. Wells and John Bird, of Canton,

and Michael H. Flaherty, of Massena. They have se-
cured control of upwards of 80,000 acres of timber
lands covered with pine, spruce, cedar and hemlock.
There is on the property a saw mill with a capacity of
8,000,000 feet of Jumber annually and 150,000 shingles

—H. J. Gilbert, president and manager of the Saginaw
Manufacturing Company, Saginaw, Mich., visited Brit-
ish Columbia last month for the purpose of arranging
for a supply of timber. Toa local reporter he stated
that his company used from 10,000,000 to 12,000,000
feet of timber annually for the manufacture of wooden-
ware, and he believed that the spruce of British Colum-
bia would be very suitable for the purpose. His com-
pany have lately experienced great difficulty in obtain-
ing a supply of timber.

—Considerable interest is being manifested by local
millmen in the new roller bearing which has been per-
fected by John Kincaid, of Vancouver, B.C., and which
is being handled by the International Roller Bearing
Company, a close concern just incorporated. Mr.
Kincaid has been improving his invention for two years
and he now has it as perfect as mechanical skill and
practical experiments can make it. What makes it of
advantage to mills is that 4o per cent. of power is
saved, and the device is adapted especially to heavy
machinery. The whole secret is in the double cone,
and it is contended that this will revolutionize machin-
ery as much as the discovery of ball bearings did.

Negotiations are now going on with eastern capitalists, 3

who are anxious to obtain control of the manufacture
of the invention.

—John Hanbury, manager of the Hanbury Manufac-
turing Company, Brandon, Man., and the North Star
Lumber Cempany, Cranbrook, B.C., has purchased
land at Elko, B.C., on which he proposes to build an
up-to-date planing mill, with a large dry kiln and other
modern accessories, by means of which he believes he
can improve the position of the local lumbermen and at
the same time build up a good business for himself.
His plan is to work on a co-operative basis, handling
the product of the smaller mills in the rough. This
will be shipped direct from the saw to Mr. Hanbury’s

plant at Elko, where it will be properly seasoned and

put in condition to be shipped at the lowest cost for
freight. The plan should be favorably received by
small mill owners who have no facilities for drying and
dressing their lumber. $

‘SALE OF THE MISPEC PULP MILL.

The liquidators of the St. John Sulphite Pulp
Company have disposed of the pulp mill at
Mispec, N.B., to the City of St. John. It is
said that no other tender was submitted, and
it is singular that the amount of the tender has
not been made public. It is reported that Eng-
lish interests sent a formal protest against
the sale unless the property realized $150,000,
and the general opinion is that the price re-
ceived is below that figure. The City Council
have not yet definitely decided what disposi-
tion will be made of the mill, but it is likely
that it will be offered for sale or lease in the
néar future.

THE OUTLOOK FOR PULP AND PAPER,

Mechanical wood is not in abundant supply.
It is not plentiful, and those who own it are
somewhat independent in their views. They
favor the policy of waiting for a rise rather
than that of making a quick sale. Late news
from the Scandinavian market shows that there
is practically no free ground wood there, and
that manufacturers there are not at all sure
that they can deliver all the goods already con-
tracted for, not because the contracts are un-
usually large but because by reason of drought
production has been and is greatly restricted,
and there are no signs of a renewal of the water
supply. A shortage in the Scandinavian supply

THE Mispec PuLtp MILL, PURCHASED BY THE CITy OF ST. JOHN, N. B.

e

The mill property consists of 300 acres,

located on the Mispec river about six miles.

from St. John. The buildings are brick and
are situated on the bank of the Mispec river.
The mill is capable of producing 200 tons of
pulp per week, but the building is so arranged
as to perinit of doubling the output.

The mill dam is substantial and is fifty feet
high. There is an ample supply of power for
driving the machinery, this being furnished by
four water wheels capable of developing 600
horse power. In addition there is a 250 horse
power compound steam engine as an auxiliary,
and in the bailer room there are steam boilers
of 500 horse power capacity for use in the
cooking and drying of the pulp.

_ The promoter of the mill was Mr. M. F.
Mooney, who floated the enterprise in Scot-
Jand and was subsequently appointed manager:

will naturally increase the demands on other
ground wood producing countries, and as we
are buyers of ground wood we, of course, are
more than likely to feel the effects of these
conditions.

Sulphite does not show any weakening ten-
dency and standard and well known makes are
bringing full prices. The soda fibre manufac-
turers advanced prices 2% points, and they
agree that conditions would warrant a consid-
erably larger advance. Supplies are low, and
it is stated that the present stock would be
sufficient for only three to five days’ demand.
That a greater advance is not made is only due
to that forbearance for which soda fibre manu-
facturers are so noted.

The price of wood is steadily advancing and
the price of labor is constantly moving in the
same direction. These factors support the

value of pulp, and they in turn support the

prices of papers in which they are an important
factor, such as book, news, manila, wrapping,
tissue, &c. It is generally conceded that lower
prices are entirely out of the question. If they
remain on their present value, buyers will be
getting all to which they are justly entitled,
while with high wood, high labor, short sup-
plies, and a largely increased late demand for
paper, producers of the latter expect to see
higher quotations in force.— Paper Trade
Journal.

PULP NOTES.
The output of the Riordan sulphite pulp mill at
Hawkesbury, Ont., is now maintained at very nearly
the full present capacity of 100 tons per day.

It is statea that the pulp mill of the Maritime Sul- —

phite Fibre Pulp Company at Chatham, N. B., will be
put in operation by the Bank of Montreal, who now
control the property.

The. Bostwick timber limits in New Brunswick,
which were recently purchased by W.H. Parsons,
will provide a supply of pulp wood for the Pejepscot
Paper Company, in which the purchaser is interested.

It is reported that the pulp mills of Sault St. Marie,
Ont., will be operated to their full capacity next year, —
as it has been decided to take out 50,000 cords of
pulp wood during the approaching winter. The mill
will be operated by the reorganized Lake Sapetase
Consolidated Company.

Ata meeting of the Scandinavian Chemical Wood
Pulp Association, held in Christiania lately, it was
stated that this year’s and most of next year's pro-
duction was already sold. It was not deemed advisab’e
to fix higher prices for next year, and the following
quotations, c.i.f. London, were submitted: Ordinary
S.rong pulp, £8 5s.; best grades of easy bleaching
pulps, £o.

The United States manufacturers of soda pulp have
fixed the price for 1905 at 2.15 cents for both contract
and non-centract business. This year’s figures are 2%
cents for contract and 2% certs fer separate orders.
The advance made, therefore, is but 50 cents per ton,
which is less than is believed to be warranted by con-
ditions. Reports collected disclose the fact that stocks
at the mills are very light.

According to information received from the different
wood pulp districts, the prospect of a water famine in
Sweden is not so pronouncedas in Norway. Although
the summer there has been very dry, the snow-melting
during the Springtime proceeded so quickly that the
lakes and reservoirs were well filled in the early part
of the summer. This month, however, will decide how
the mills are going to be worked during the winter.

The Lockwood Trade Journal Company, 150 Nassau
street, New York, have issued the 3oth annual edition —
of Lockwood's Directory of the paper, stationery and
allied trades. This edition is a record breaker in every
respect, being larger and more comprehensive than any
previous number. It includes a complete list of all the
paper, pulp and chemical fibre mills in the United
States, Canada, and Mexico, as well as a list of paper
dealers and importers, stationers, manufacturers of
blank books, envelopes, paper bags, boxes, etc. All
departments have been revised and brought strictly up-
to-date, and the vast amount of information it contains
makes the book very valuable and useful. The retail
price, express prepaid, is $3.

THE ST. CROIX LUMBER COMPANY.

- Among the latest additions to the lumber in-
dustry of Nova Scotia is that of the St. Croix
Lumber Company, of Hartville, N.S. The com-
pany was incorporated under the laws of Nova
Scotia in December, 1903, operations being im-
mediately commenced by the purchase of the
mills and limits of T. G. McMullen at Hartville,
N.S. The limits comprise 30,000 acres of first-
class timber lands, heavily clothed with spruce,
pine, hemlock and birch. The management
consists of the well-known David McPherson,
M.P.P., of Nova Scotia, president ; J. C. Mc-
Intosh, vice-president ; and J. M. Davidson,
secretary-treasurer and manager, with office in
Halifax, N.S.

The plant, which comprises a saw mill and
lath mill, is equipped with the most modern
machinery, including log haul-ups, trimmers,
band saw, edger, planing machine, resaw, slab
saws and lath machinery. Power for driving
the machinery is obtained from a turbine water
wheel of 150 horse power. Piling grounds
‘afford room for the piling of from two to three

million feet of lumber, the company having at
the time of writing 2,000,000 feet awaiting
shipment via the D.A.R. to Halifax, thirty-
seven miles away.

Most of the stock, which figures out at four
and one-half million feet annually, is marketed
in Great Britain, about twenty per cent. going
to the United States and fifteen per cent. local-
ly. The lumber is manufactured in the pro-
portion of 65 per cent. spruce, 10 per cent.
pine, 20 per cent. hemlock and the remaining
5 per cent. hardwoods, chiefly birch. The per-
centage going to Great Britain is sold at the
mill to W. Malcolm McKay, of St. John, who
ships via Halifax, where he has an office, while
the company deal directly with American pur-
chasers for the New York market.

Not content with the property as purchased,
the management, desirous of producing first-
class lumber, have improved their equipment
by shortening the carriage and adding an extra
saw to the edger. They purpose increasing
the capacity by installing a new edger next
spring, while, providing the market for their
lumber improves, it is their intention to extend
operations by the purchase of other properties
known to be on the market. Despite the pres-

ent slump in the price of lumber the company
are well satisfied with the result of their first
year’s working, as they had the good fortune
to dispose of 2,500,000 feet. of lumber before
the slump in prices came on.

Mr. David McPherson, the president of the
company, was born. in Shelburne County,
N.S., in 1834, of Scotch parents. On attain-
ing the age of manhood he came to Halifax
and began work as a shipbuilder there, soon
building up a large trade in the construction of
wooden ships, which he owns and runs to this
day. At the’age of thirty-five he began to take
a large interest in public affairs and it was not
long before he succeeded in being elected to
the city council of Halifax. Since then he has
twice been elected as mayor of the city, be-
tween the years 1892-1898. In 1898 he entered
the Provincial House and soon distinguished
himself, being appointed as a member of the
cabinet of Nova Scotia in 1900.

Mr. J. C. McIntosh, the vice-president, is a
much respected private banker and broker of
Halifax.

Mr. J. M. Davidson, the secretary-treasurer
and manager, is a member of the bar and a
graduate of Dalhousie College, where he took
the degrees of B.A. and L.L.B.

pulley has been manufactured for some time in the
United States, and was selected by The Fairbanks
Company as the best wood split pulley made.

The following is a description of same: The arms of
the Fairbanks wood pulley are made of hard maple,

well seasoned and thoroughly kiln-dried ; they are

clamped together and bored, thereby making a perfect
round hole so as to fit the shaft. The hub is then cut
so as to allow compression to be obtained, and the fric-
tion surface on the shaft is nearly equal in length to the
width of the face of the pulley. The outer face of the
arms are so cut as to add to the appearance of the
pulley. The outer ends of these arms are provided
with recesses to receive the webb. These webs are
thoroughly glued and nailed to the arm and are built
in with the rim, thereby making a strong connection
between the arms and the rim.

The rim of the pulley is made of soft wood, thorough-
ly seasoned and kiln-dried. The segments are built
up, on atrue inside circle and thoroughly glued and
nailed. The entire pulley, so to speak, is built up at
the same time, which is claimed to be an advantage
over pulleys where the rims and arms are built up
separately, and afterwards assembled.

This pulley with its web construction is an advantage
over other ‘pulleys owing to the support given to the
rim, which not only strengthens the entire pulley but
makes it impossible for the rim to work loose at the
arm. The pulley is inspected in the course of its con-
struction as to material and workmahship. The pulley
is particularly adapted for saw and planing mills. Any
further information will be gladly furnished by the
Fairbanks Company, who have established
agencies for same‘throughout Canada.

LUMBER FIRES.

That lumbermen and woodworkers were having their
share of fires in August was shown by the figures com-
piled by the Journal of Commerce and Commercial
Bulletin. The compilation showed for the United
States and Canada an aggregate loss of $971,750,
which included thirty losses in excess of $10,000,
amounting to $845,000. To this is added 15 per cent.
for small and reported losses, bringing the total to the
above figure, very nearly a a million
dollars.

But bad as was the month of August, its losses be-
come small when compared with those of September.
In the same territory the total for the first autumn
month amounted to $2,256,300, which included forty-
one losses of 510,000 or over. This is an increase of
132 per cent. over the previous month, and would ap-
pear to indicate that one of those unaccountable fire
epidemics which often attack some one branch of busi-
ness is now running through the lumber trade.

Whatever other result this may have it must teach
even greater caution against fire than now exists

among owners’ of lumber yards and woodworking
plants. There is a lesson in it, too, for the man who
carries no insurance, because he believes his lumber
yard immune from the sparks of the passing locomo-
tive, the ashes of a careless Jaborer’s pipe, or the
thousand and one other causes of mysterious fires,
The loss of two and one quarter millions in thirty days
does not fall so heavily on the trade as it might,were it
not for the iusurance companies, who are as usual
bearing the burden of the loss. Their services in this
month of disaster have been such that no lumber
dealer can in justice to himself afford to do without
hem. be

The Nipissing Foundry & Machine Company, Lim-
ited, has been organized at North Bay, Ont., to carry
on a general foundry and machine business. The pro-
moters include George Gordon, lumber merchant, of
Sturgeon Falls, and Robert Booth and R. W. Gordon,
lumber merchants, of Pembroke. The capital of the
company is $20,000.

Chew Bros., of Midland, Ont., recently built a new
boiler hous2 and installed a new 50 horse power boiler.
Concrete foundations have been put under their en-
gines. They have also installed a new log loader and
a Waterous carriage. This firm cut between five and
six million feet of lumber this season, most of which
has been sold.

The William Kennedy and Sons Company, of Owen
Sound, Ont., have recently erected a new office ‘build-

ing designed to provide the’additional accommoda-
tion rendered necessary by the great increase in the
volume of their business. As most ot our readers know,
this company are manufacturers of water wheels and
general foundry work.

The Owen Sound Iron Works, Owen Sound, Ont.,
are putting in a twelve-foot roller and a heavier punch
and shears. With the air tools already in use this firm
will have one of the most complete mill machinery

equipments in their locality. They recently entered
y 5 y

‘the cement machinery manufacturing field, and have

already supplied several machines.

The growth of their business has compelled Ham-
macher, Schlemmer & Company, dealers in hardware,
tools, glue-handling appliances, etc., New York, to
secure larger quarters. These have been obtained at
Fourth Ave. and Thirteenth street, where the company
are now located, and they extend a cordial invitation
to their customers and friends to inspect their new

home from ‘‘cellar to attic’.

The business of the Stilwell-Bierce & Smith-Vaile
Company, manufacturers of hydraulic machinery, etc.,
Dayton, Ohio, has been acquired by Colonel J, D.
Platt, president of the Barney & Smith Manufacturing
Company. Colonel Platt has organized a new company
to be called the Platt Iron Works Company,and to have
a capital of $400,000. The unfinished contracts of the
Stilwell-Bierce & Smith-Vaile Company will be taken
over.

Lewis Bros., wholesale hardware dealers, Montreal,
are about to erect a large building in that city to ac-
commodate their increasing business. It will be
located on Bleury street, near Craig, and will extend
to Hermirnie street, It will be six stories high, in ad-
dition to a basement, and will cover 20,000 square feet
of ground surface. Lewis Bros. are well-known to the
lumber trade, being large dealers in axes and other
lumbermen’s tools.

Mr. Bennett’s declaration that a duty
on lumber is required to preserve the
great trade upon which this district de-

pends largely for its prosperity received a

AN EVIDENCE OF PROSPERITY.

It follows that, when one makesa specialty ofa thing,
he becomes more and more skilful in that direction,
and constantly works to better advantage, owing to
his increasing dexterity. This principal also applies in

manufacturing. Where a limited line is built, instead

the men become exceedingly proficient in the work,
etc.

It is to this fact, and to the fact that they have one
of the most severely practical designers in the country,
that the Gordon Hollow Blast Grate Company, of
Greenville, Michigan, the largest manufacturers of
hollow blast grates, edgers and trimmers in the world,
attributes its wonderful success. ,

Having found its former facilities unequal to its con-
stantly increasing business, it is adding to them by the

installation of new special and other machinery, in-
cluding a Corliss engine, and by two additions, one
22x40 feet, two stories high, and one 4ox8o feet, also —
two stories high. Further improvements are also
contemplated. ;

To install in your mill a set of saws that will suit you in every particular, it is
necessary that you be familiar with some means of distinguishing the HIGH-
CLASS SAWS from the others. Knowing some such mark you will always dis-
criminate in favor of the saw which bears that mark of QUALITY.

THE ATKINS “TRIPLE A” etched on all HIGH GRADE SILVER STEEL
CIRCULAR and BAND SAWS, is the sign which assures QUALITY, EXCEL-
LENCY and absolute SUPERIORITY in Saws. “IF ITSSILVERSTEEL IT’S
AN ATKINS.” Look for our trade mark.

A little reminder of the ‘‘ TRIPLE A” in the way of a pretty watch charm to
Mill men who write for it. Also our Mill Supply Catalogue. Both free.

~AILLAN'S TANDEM CRGILAR SANE MILL”

The attention of Manufacturers of Lumber is
called to the above named latest and best
method of sawing lumber.

The following advantages are obtained :

Lower cost of installation than any other
method which will saw an equal number of
superficial feet in a given length of time.

Smaller expense in operation this producing
lumber at a lower cost per thousand feet than
any other method.

Requires no more help to operate it than any
well equipped Circular Saw Mill.

Lumber has been sawn better and more accur-
ately cut by this method than by any other now
in use.

The Killam Tandem Circular Mill requires no
more skilled men to operate it thanis required
to operate the ordinary Circular Mill.

MANUFACTURED
BY ~rwevwer

If solid saws are used, the larger one, when
worn down can be used for the smaller one
thus saving expense for saws.

No difficulties in handling or setting by this
machine and no celays.

No time is lost in setting for any thickness
from the cut of stationary saw up to six inches.

This machine takes the place of a resaw in a
mill and only requires a floor space of 6 ft. x 6 ft.

Also takes the place of a Twin Circular Mill
that is now used for slabbing and this machine
will side as much lumber as any Twin Circular,
thus sa ing the expense of a resaw and men to
operate the same

This michine isso cheap that any manufac-
turer of lumber can well affurd to have oue,for it
will ppy for itself in a short time.

Will cut 50 per cent. more lumber than the
Ctrceular Mills now in use,

There are four good reasons why the Gordon Hollow Blast Grate is a very profit-

able investment for the purchaser. They are as follows:

1. They enable him to dispose of his refuse without expense, by burning it under
his boilers.

2. By permitting him to use refuse as fuel, his power is costing him practically
nothing in this direction.

3. It develops every ounce of steam his boilers are capable of generating, fre-
quently adding from 20 to 50°/, to his steaming capacity.

4. For a mill having five years or more to run, it is absolutely the cheapest grate
of any description, blast or draft, on the market, by reason of its great durability.

We pay the freight.

We sell on approval, giving 30 days in which to thoroughly test the apparatus,
which is returnable at our expense, if unsatisfactory.

In writing for prices, do not fail to state number of boilers, and give width of fur-
naces or ovens and length of grates.

THE TRIUMPH TURBINE

Is the most powerful wheel on the market to-day. A glance at
this cut of the centre shows that the buckets are designed to
secure the maximum of speed with great power and a free
discharge. Mr. E. S. Edmondson, of Oshawa, writes as fol-
lows under date of November 16th, 1903, regarding a 26 inch.
Vertical Triumph Wheel :

“The Wheel is strictly first-class in every particular,
and after a careful and thorough test I am prepared to say
that I believe it is the best wheel in the market for Elec-
trical purposes. It has high speed, large power, high effi-
ciency at part gate, and has practically no leakage. I am
more than pleased with the thorough and workmanlike
setting you gave me throughout.”

F

For horizontal settings in large Pulp Mills, Cement Mills or Electric Power Develop-
ments this Wheel has no equal. We invite your enquiries. Large catalogue to —
be had for the asking.

We are always glad to submit estimates and prices on Improved Vulean and Leffel

Turbines, Improved Lane Circular Saw Mills, Edgers, Trimmers, Slashers,
Shingle Machines, Lath Machines and all machinery of this kind. ‘

MR, W. K. GRAFFTEY.

We have the pleasure of presenting the
portrait of Mr. W. K. Grafftey, Managing
Director of the Montreal Lumber Company,
Limited. Mr. Grafftey was born in Derby-
shire, England, in the year 1849. His parents,
coming out to Canada inthe year 1856,settled in
Owen Sound, where he obtained his early edu-
cation and his subsequent business training,
serving an appretticeship of five years with Mr.
William Kough,the famous hardware merchant
of that town. Arriving in Montreal in 1869, he
entered the employ of Benny, MacPherson &
Company, wholesale hardware merchants,
whom he served as traveller for several years.

Turning his attention to the lumber busi-
ness, Mr. Grafftey took charge of the office of
G. A. Grier, lumber merchant, with whom he
remained in the closest business relationship
‘for 20 years. The separation after these years
of satisfactory experience was felt keenly, yet
it opened the way for larger development.
Others had noticed his business capacity and
the formation of the Montreal Lumber Com-
pany, Limited, in 1897, was the result. As-
sociated with him are men of the highest busi-
ness integrity and influence, including Geo. I.
Dewar, the Ottawa manager of the Export
Lumber Company; John McKergow, of the
firm of A. A. Ayer & Company, the largest
shippers of cheese in Canada, and others, who
form the company for which he acts as
manager.

During the spring of 1900 the subject of our
sketch visited England and laid the founda-
tions for English trade, and while there the
great fire of Hull and Ottawa occurred, marring
the prospects for that year. Although hand-
ling all branches of the business, of which he
has a thorough knowledge, the principal line
to which he devotes attention is Ottawa white
pine.

Success has attended the company since its
formation and it is now recognized as a strong
factor in the Ottawa district. They have
handled large contracts for the city of Montreal
and the Montreal Harbor Commissioners and

are supplying the material for the ex-

tensive plant of the Singer Manufacturing
Company at St. Johns, Que., which included
in one order over a million feet of spruce.

Mr. Grafftey is a gentleman much respected
in the community, careful in his operations,
ready to take a fair risk, but always loyal to
the obligations he makes, so that he commands
confidence and respect from all who know him.
He takes no active part in municipal or politi-
cal matters, yet finds time when called on to
do his part in any good work.

Our sincere good wishes accompany this

worthy friend.

BRIQUETTING AND CARBONIZING SAW
MILL REFUSE.

Dr. Rolof Juergenson, of Prussia, Austria,
has lately been in the United States and Cana-
da for the purpose of giving information re-
garding the Heidenstam patents for the trans-
formation of sawdust and waste wood into
charcoal without agglomeration and for the
recovery of all secondary products. The pro-
cess is the invention of a Swedish engineer,
Gustave v. Heidenstam, of Stockholm. The

Mr. W. K. GRAFFTEY,
Managing Director of the Montreal Lumber Company.

principal points of the process are the follow-
ing :

Sawdust and waste wood are to be freed
from moisture in a suitable way. The dry
material is to be pressed in a continually
working press, like the well known lignite coal
press, into briquettes. Then it undergoes de-
structive distillation under mechanical pres-
sure in suitable coaling apparatus.

The pyrolignous acid and tar vapors which
are escaping during the coaling process are
condensed in special coolers and the liquids
derived therefrom stored in receptacles for fur-
ther treatment into commercial chemical pro-
ducts, as acetic acid, methylated spirits, ace-
tone, etc., the yield of which in treating hard
wood waste has proved exactly the same as
from best beech or oak wood.

The wood tar which is formed by caboniza-
tion contains about 50 per cent. of pitch.
But what gives to this process its characteris-
tic value is highly interesting. Only the tar

oils of lower boiling point are 7escaping with
the pyrolignous vapors, carrying on in solu-
tion a little part of pitch, while the main quan-
tity being of high boiling point by action
of the mechanical pressure, remains in the
fibres of the carbonizing waste wood briquettes,
cementing same, and is finally changed into
carbon, forming an intimate dense charcoal
briquette with the same.

The arrangement for a coaling apparatus
under pressure for waste wood and sawdust
briquettes in connection with a sawmill will
take place in this way :

Sawdust and shavings containing 50 to 60
per cent. of moisture are to be reduced to 25
to 30 per cent.
dried in a special apparatus by the waste heat
leaving the coaling apparatus, enters into the

The wood refuse having been

briquette presses, producing briquettes in the
torm of cords, advancing mechanically to the
changing apparatus cf the coaling retorts.
The coaling retorts consist of vertical iron
cylinders to be put into ovens of special con-
struction and fireplace. The cylinders are fit-
ted with outlet pipes on the Lottom to give
way to the by-product vapors. On the head
they have cast iron covers on which the press-

ing cylinder is fixed, the piston of which works. _-

directly on the briquettes during the coaling
operation of 14 hours’ duration.

The charcoal discharged from the apparatus
will be absolutely cooled in 12 to 14 hours.

- This coal has been tested by calorimetrical
analysis of the Stockholm Technological Gov-
ernment Institute to be ofa caloric power of
7,800 calors and density of 0.6.

The further treatment and rectification of the
pyrolignous product is exactly the same asprac-
ticed in the well known and well paying wood
distillation industry, and the output of chemical
products by the Heidenstam process is proved to
be equal, if not superior, to that of best beech
or oak wood.

The acetate of lime produced is used to
make acetic acid and acetone, both highly im-
portant products of the chemical industry.
which is
exactly of the same quality as the well-known
Finnish or Swedish tar-fluid and of light
brown color, if produced from waste of. soft
wood, as pine, fir, etc.

The great economy of this simple process is

Another product is the wood tar,

said to consist in mechanically conveying the
waste wood from its accumulation in the saw
mill,dried and pressed, direct to the charging
apparatus in the coaling oven.

Considering the great difficulties for most of
the sawmills to get rid of their waste wood
and sawdust, the lumber industry will, no
doubt, highly appreciate the importance of the
Heidenstam process.

A MODERN SAW MILL.

Among the many saw mills on the shores of
the Georgian Bay, that of Tanner Bros. at
Waubaushene ranks high in its equipment and
management. The mill was started thirty
years ago by the father of the present owners.
About ten years ago, Messrs. G. M. and W.
H. Tanner, the present proprietors, assumed
control, and five years afterwards rebuilt the
mill, extending its size and capacity, and it
now covers a large area on the shore of the
bay.

The main building is 142 feet long by 40 feet
wide, with a transfer wing 40 x 60 feet. In
addition to this is a lath mill 30 feet square.
A separate solid brick and stone boiler house,
with three boilers of a total of 250 horse power,
complete the buildings.

The average daily capacity of the plant is
from 60,000 to 80,000 feet per day. The mill
contains two single cut band mills of the Allis
improved style. Up to last spring one band
mill and a circular saw were employed, but

derly and systematic manner.

Everything is done in an or-
All the rough
edged lumber is carried away by chains to the
edger, the stock lumber continuing its course

_ over live rolls to the transfer table, where it is

trimmed, marked, and loaded on cars for the
pilers. Meanwhile the slabs are dropped au-
tomatically on to the slash table, where they
are cut into four feet lengths. Here they are
sorted, those suitable for lath being culled out,

and the remainder dropped into a hopper and

carried away to the yard. All the edgings

and refuse from the lath mill are tied up on

the spot and dropped into another hopper.
Five carts are sufficient to handle all the
refuse.

Since the new mill was erected five years
ago, about 40,000,000 feet of lumber has been
‘sawn, and yet the owners claim that less than
$500 would cover the cost of repairs in that

Mr. G. M. Tanner looks after the mill
and the shipping, while Mr. W. H. Tanner
has charge of getting out the stock. The
piling yard capacity is equal to about 10,000,-

and red pine.

AUTOMATIC ELECTRIC SAW MILL.

A Swiss firm have been making experiments
in the direction of an automatic electric circular
saw mill, in which the saw is fed along the
log instead of the latter being fed to the saw.
There are two kinds of mills being experiment-
ed with—log saws and resaws. In the log saw
mill there is an iron track, which is made fast
to the middle line of the log by means of
clamps extending down to grip the center of

the log. On this track there runs a carriage
which bears a small electric motor; there is
also upon the under carriage a cross-carriage
which can be rotated about a vertical axis by
means of a handwheel and screw. On the
cross side or carriage is borne the principal
motor that carries the saw.

A correspondent of the Wood-Worker says
that the carriage is fed along the track by
means of the small motor, and during the cut
the large motor runs the saw through the
wood. The. cross-carriage or slide permits
feeding the saw across the log the width of
the desired board, plus the kerf. The arrange-
ment by which the carriage can be turned
about a vertical axis enables the saw to be
turned ninety degrees about such axis and
make the cut in the reverse direction at the
same speed as during the first cut, thus saving
the time necessary to run the carriage back,
also avoiding the shock at the reversing points
in both directions.

Of course, power can be brought any desired
distance to the machine, by the usual insulated
wires. Logs up to a diameter of 70 centi-
meters, or say, 28 inches, can be cut by a saw
of 180 centimeters, or say, 6 feet diameter.
Logs of greater diameter than 28 inches are
first sawed from above to the depth that the

Saw can handle, then ‘turned 180 teptone aban
their axis, so as to bring the kerf directly un-
der the former line, then a second set of cuts is
made, meeting the former ones. This seems
to be the weak point of the invention, as very
little lost motion in the machine will make the oe
kerfs ‘tcome blind”.
The resaw is lighter and more simple. The |
balks or planks are laid on round wooden
supports and piled up to the maximum height
of 30 centimeters, or, say, one foot. The
planks are clamped together. The track and
carriage are then set on the pile and fastened _
thereto by clamp bolts at the ends. /

The inventor is a Herr Kottman, who hasa
plantation on the island of Sumatra. The ine
vention was made by reason of the difficulty —
which he experienced in the primeval forests __
with the mills of the present construction. The : a
largest and best trees could not be sawed in
place. The new system does away with this 7 ;
disadvantage. For small logs the power re-
quired, including the loss in transporting the

a

current 3,000 meters, or, Say, 3,250 yards, is
about 60-horse. The same amount of power —
does for two resaws. In order to work advan-
tageously it is desirable to have at work to- =
gether two log saws and three sets of tracks.
While one log is being sawed, the second —
machine and track are being mounted on a oe
second log, and the third nae clamped to a Ay ee
third log.

BAND VERSUS CIRCULAR FOR SMALL LOGS.

Whether the band or the circular saw is the
more economical tor the manufacture of small
logs is a question in which mill men are greatly
interested—some being of the opinion that
with the band saw there is very little, if any,
saving in lumber, although there may be some
saving in slabs. The Waterous Engine
Works Company, of Brantford, Ont., have
been experimenting with the cutting of small
logs by a band mill, and state that the smaller

Ft) ron nh | al Mig. are

the log the larger is the percentage of saving
in good lumber. To demonstrate the accuracy
of this statement they give the following
examples :

Let us consider that we have a circular saw
mill and 8 in. logs to cut, using a saw to do the
work having a kerf of 4%". Fig. 1 illustrates the
method of sawing, and we find that we get two
slabs marked Nos.1 and 7, two 4” boards Nos.
2 and 6, and three 7” boards Nos. 3, 4 and 6, or

Fig. 2.—8” Log, cut with Band Saw 16-Gauge, Kerf 7-64”.

By using aband mill with a 16 gauge saw,
taking out a 7-64 kerf, we cut our log as shown
in Fig 2, which results in two slabs Nos. 1

and 8, two 4” boards Nos 2 and 7, two 6”

boards Nos. 3 and 6, and two 7” boards Nos.
4and 5, or producing lumber 34” in width
by 1 1-16" thick, a gain of 5” per foot in length
of log.

If these mills each cut a thousand logs 8”

iamater and 12 ft. long, the output of lumber
for the circular would be 29,000 feet, and for
the band 34,000 feet, or a gain of 5,000 feet
for the band, which is equal to 174% per cent.

If we take a 6” log and cut it with the same
circular saw having 1%” kerf, we would ob-
tain, as Fig. 3 shows, two slabs Nos. 1 and 5,
one 4” board Nos. 4 and two 5” boards Nos. 2

and 3, or producing lumber 14” wide by 1 1/16

Cutting this 6 in. log with the band mill hav-
ing a 16 gauge saw with a kerf 7/64, according
to Fig. No. 4, will give us two slabs No. 1, 6
two 4 in. boards No. 2 and 5, and two § in.
boards No. 3 and 4, or producing lumber 18 in.
wide by 1 1/16 in. thick, a gain of 4 in. per
foot in length of log.

If these mills each cut a thousand logs 6 in.
diameter and 12 feet long, the output of lum-
ber for the circular would be 14,000 feet and
the band 18,000 feet, or a gain of 4000 feet in

favor of the band mill, which is equal to 28%
per cent. |

If these mills cut on small logs, say 30,000
feet of lumber per day, and we presume that
they have an equal number of 8 in. and 6 in.
logs, the gain would be 21 per cent., or 6,300
ft. to the credit of the band mill.

Taking the value of this lumber at the mill
at $12.00 per M, this would amount to $75.60,
a fair day’s profit.

The sawing season in this country (wher: the
winter shuts us up for about half the year) is
called say 160 days, and a saving. of $75.60
per day amounts to $12,095.00 for the season.
We know of lumbermen who are permitting
their old circular saws to waste that amount

’ of value every season.

We have compared the band mill with a

circular saw taking 1%. kerf, and are informed
by one of the largest and most progressive
lumberman that the most of the circulars in
use take that amount or more and very few
less.

The cutting

cular saw will undoubtedly cut faster than a
single cutting band mill on small logs, but the
difference—if any—in the output between a
double-cutting band and a circular will be very
small and the band mill will do far nicer work.

THE FORESTS OF CANADA.

The first of a series of lectures on the re-
sources of Canada, under the auspices of the
Political Science Club of Toronto University,
was delivered in the Chemical Building on Mon-
day evening, November 14. The speaker was

ion Forestry Department, and his subject ‘Fie

resources, their origin, legitimate use and
proper conservation.

Mr. Stewart traced in a very interesting
manner the growth of the forest,

evaporation of the water in the sea, its trans-

portation, its condensation, and finally its dis-
sipation and reservation in the vast forests o
the country. The people of America had been
profligate in their use of these great resources,
continued Mr. Stewart, and they were now
paying the inevitable penalty in the form of an-
nual spring floods and destructive freshets.
He strongly advised the provincial governments
to protect their watersheds by inserting a
clause in their timber patents providing that
at least 10 per cent. of the timber should be
left on all grants.. The vast water-power re-
sources of Canada, he said, were threatened
by the wholesale destruction of forests which
were the permanent,;sources of these streams.
Only seven countries in the world to-day were
able to export any timber, and this number,
owing to practical difficulties in transportation,
was limited to only three real exporters, name-
ly, Sweden, Finland and Canada. To Can-
ada would fall the lion’s share of this trade if
she but properly husbanded her resources.
Forestry, as erroneously supposed, did not
attempt the conservation of timber, but on the
contrary, the production and proper use of

ing trees cn the co-operation plan had already
been inaugurated in the North-West, and the
system would be further expanded. Already
the Dominion Government had secured twelve
large reserves protecting important water-
sheds, and are now on the lookout for more.
In conclusion, Mr. Stewart drew attention
to the fact that our forests were not merely a

THE ARROWHEAD LUMBER COMPANY’S
MILLS.

The above company was organized in the
summer of 1903 as a joint stock company
under the laws of British Columbia and with a
capital of $250,000. The directors of the
Archibald McMillan, of West-
bourne, Man., president ; Thos. Meredith, of
Yorkton, N. W. T., vice-president ; W. W.
Fraser, of Emerson, Man., secretary-treasurer ;

company are:

W. R. Beatty, of Arrowhead, B. C., manag-
ing director ; George McCormick, M.- Ps, OF
Kamloops, B. C., and Alex. McMillan, of

Winnipeg, Man.

The construction of a mill was immediately
undertaken and on June 19th, 1904, the first
lumber was produced. The location of the
mill is on the north shore of the Upper Arrow
Lake, about half a mile east of the town of
Arrowhead, B. C., and occupying a site of
about twenty-five acres. It is one of the, best
designed and most modernly equipped mills in
the Province,and reflects great credit upon the
manager, Mr. Beatty,by whom it was designed.
The capacity of the mill is 100,000 feet in ten
hours.

Besides the mill proper, there are a ware-
house 32x70 feet built at a point convenient

MILLS OF THE ARROWHEAD LUMBER COMPANY,

for loading or unloading either by boat or rail,
a three-storey boarding house 32x70 feet, a
two-storey office building 30x50 feet, finished

_ + in native woods, and a machine shop 20x40

feet. The equipment of the latter consists of
a planer, large lathe, two drill presses, bolt
_cutting machine, and two forges, power being
supplied by a 20 h. p. horizontal engine.
The mill consists of two buildings, one be-
ing 48x120 feet, three stories high, and the

other 30x126‘feet, twe stories high. The plan-
er room is 48x72 feet with floor beneath for ac-
tuating machinery. The boiler room, which is
of fire-proof construction, is 50x60 feet. The
refus¢ burner is 34 feet in diameter and 80
feet high, built of heavy tank steel lined with
brick and surmounted by a dome of under-
writer's fire screen. This burner was con-
structed entirely on the ground, the steel hav-
ing been rolled, punched, erected and rivetted
by the company’s employees in their own shops.

Power is supplied from a battery of four
boilers, each 72 inches in diameter, equipped
with ‘‘ Dutch” ovens and_operated at 125 lbs.
pressure. The setting is of brick and stone
and the floors are cement. The fuel supply is
automatic, sawdust being delivered into the
ovens by chain conveyors, while the refuse
from the planer is delivered by pneumatic
draft. Storage bins are provided to receive
the surplus of fuel, which is used in the night
to keep steam up for the use of the kiln and
for fire protection purposes. Thesmoke stack
is 6 feet in diameter and 105 feet in height
from the roof of the boiler house.

The engines are two Waterous high pres-
sure,each 20 inches diameter by 24 inchstroke,

operating on one shaft. These engines cper-

ate at 105 revolutions per minute. Power is
transmitted to the main shaft by a 38 inch
double leather belt, from whence it is distribut-
ed by an efficient system of gears and belts
to the various machines.

The electric light plant is situated in a room
adjoining the engine room, and consists of a
500 light multipolar dynamo, manufactured by
the Canadian General Electric Company, of
Peterboro, Ont., direct-connected to a go h. p.

THE MILL EQUIPMENT.

The equipment of the saw mill consists of at

double cutting band mill, shown herewith, 50
inch Wickes gang, large double edger, slash
table and trimmers.’ The mill

stock transfers, by means of which a great

is furnished -
throughout with modern steam handling appar- —
atus, such as log-loaders, niggers, kickers and —

economy of labor is effected. A well-devised

system of carriers conveys allthe refuse from
the various machines. Logs are delivered
into the mill by an endless chain of exceeding-
ly heavy construction and are delivered to the

saw carriage by an ingenious arrangement of

steam ‘‘ kickers ” and log-loaders. Every pre-
caution has been taken against accident by

efficient guarding of the machinery and by —

providing ample rcom for the workmen.

The logs go from the double-cutting band
saw to the gang saw, which takes from One to
four logs at one cut, delivering the whole in
sawn lumber on to the trimmer table. The
lath machinery is located conveniently to the
slab slasher so that the stock is easily picked
out for their manufacture. On the main con-
veyor to the refuse burner a workman is locat-
ed, whose duty it is to select and throw vut
those slabs which are suitable for fuel.

The dry kiln is 44x120 feet and heated by
live steam on the natural draft principle. The
building is of ‘‘slow-burning construction,”

dimension lumber being laid on its flat and well |

spiked together. This is said to be the most
nearly fire-proof of any form of wooden con-
struction.

The planer equipment consists of three laces

high speed engine. *

Special precautions have been taken against
fire. A large steam pump is installed in the
engine room, anda system of pipes leads to
hydrants at various points on the mill floor and
in the yard. Hose is attached to these hy-
drants in readiness for immediate use. Two
large hose reels are also provided for use in
the yard. The company have constructed a
reservoir of 60,000 gallons capacity, situated
at apoint on the hillside, which will give a
pressure of 60 to 65 Ibs. per square inch on
the mill floor. The buildings are roofed

throughout with iron and are carefully lime
washed inside.

A noteworthy feature of the construction of
the mill is the foundations which are placed
under the engines and the gang saw. In order
to get above high water level it was found

necessary to build these concrete toundations
25 feet in height, necessitating a vast amount
of material and a great deal of labor.

Owing to the formation of the shore it has
been found necessary to construct all of the
piling room, which has been done by means
of pile driving. The platform is nearly a quar-
ter of a mile long, varying in width from go to
150 feet. On this platform a system of steel
rail track is laid, upon which are operated the
lumber cars to and from the mill. This _plat-
form parallels the siding which has been ex-
tended from Arrowhead station and will be
very convenient for loading.

For logging purposes, the company have
constructed at Deep Creek a logging chute
half a mile in length. Their limits comprise
ninety square miles along the shores of the
Columbia river and the Upper Arrow lake,
the logs being towed to the mills by the com-
pany’s own tug. .

Mr. W. R. Beatty, the managing director of
the company, was a successful lumberman in
Ontario. Heisalso well known in political

circles, having been M. P. P. for Parry Sound
for the past eight years.

The office management is in charge of Mr.

with Mr. Beatty in the lumber business in the
east.

elm staves to remain firm. The value of log
run elm lumber was $25 per thousand, and in
many cases it brought even more than this
price. He suggested that curtailment should
be the watchword of the trade. There was
some discussion on the question of grades,
during which it was stated that every millman
had his own ideas as to what constituted a No.

I stave or a mill run stave. Some put.in low
grades and were therefore in a position to ac-
cept a lower price for their stock. It was hbe-
lieved that a uniform grade would be a benefit
to the trade. Some of the members advocated
the adopted of a specification as to the quan-
tity of staves which should constitute a car
load and a committee was appointed to report

on the question at the next regular meeting.

THE CANADA LUMBERMAN is published in the interests of the
lumber, wood-working and allied industries, being the only
representative in Canada of these important interests. It aims
at giving full and timely information on all subjects touching

these interests, and invites free discussion by its readers.
ial pains are taken to secure for publication in the
WEEKLY LUMBERMAN the latest and most trustworthy market
quotations throughout the world, so as to afford to the trade at
home and abroad information on which it can rely in its
operations. Subscribers will find the small amount they pay
for the CANADA LUMBERMAN quite insignificant as compared
with its value tothem. There is not an individual in the trade,
or specially interested in it, who should not be on our list, thus
obtaining the present benefit and aiding and encouraging us to
render it even more complete. . 2
Advertisers will receive careful attention and liberal treat-
ment. For manufacturing and supply firms wishing to bring
their goods to the attention of owners and operators of saw
and planing mills, wood-working factoties, pulp mills, etc.,
the CANADA LUMBERMAN is undoubtedly the cheapest and
most cprotiable advertising medium. Special attention is
directed to ““WANTED” and “‘ For SALE” advertisements, which
ate inserted in a conspicuous position on front page of the
Weekly Edition.

TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY NUMBER.
Away back in the year 1880 the first num-
ber of the CANADA LUMBERMAN was sent on its
mission. From that time tothe present it has
continued to be the sole exponent of the Cana-
dian lumber industry, and is now entitled to
rank among the oldest publications of its kind

in the world. The publishers have considered

_ it appropriate to distinguish in some manner

this twenty-fifth year of the journal’s existence,
and this it is proposed to do by the publication
of a special number, to be designated a
Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Number and to be
issued on January 1st, next.

We prefer to let the number speak for itself,
but the aim is to make it the most attractive
and interesting edition of a trade journal ever
published in Canada. The pioneers in the
business will tell of the early methods of lum-
bering ; others will review the development in

the various branches of the industry, contrast-

ing the conditions of to-day with those which

=

existed twenty-five years ago ; statistics of the
lumber production for the quarter century will
be given, and as far as possible features of
special interest and particularly adapted to a
number of this character will be introduced.

INFLAMMABILITY OF BUILDING TIMBER.

There has recently been a great deal of dis-
cussion about the fire extinguishing facilities
in Toronto, and the Underwriters are clamor-
ing for additional water supply and new en-
gines tor the business district. It seems op-
portune, therefore, to enquire regarding the
class of material that is being used in the con-
struction of new buildings. An inspection of
these shows that the interior construction is al-
most exclusively of steel and Southern pine,
notwithstanding that it is a well-known fact
that water has little effect in extinguishing fire
in Southern pine owing to the excessive quan-
tity of turpentine which it contains.

The difference in weight between Canadian
white pine and Southern yellow pine shows
approximately the amount of pitch in the lat-
ter, the former weighing when dry about 2,500
pounds per thousand feet B.M., and when
green 3,200 pounds, while, according to
weights given by the Southern Lumber Manu-
facturers’ Association, Southern pine weighs
3,400 pounds when dry and 4,200 pounds
when green. Surely when the Underwriters
restrict the quantity of bulk turpentine that
may be stored in buildings, it would be perti-
nent that they should see that the material of
which the buildings are constructed does not
contain a large proportion of this highly in-
flammable article. ©

It has been repeatedly demonstrated by fires
that water runs off Southern pine like oil and
has little effect upon it, while our Canadian
pine absorbs the water and when the fire is ex-
tinguished the walls are left intact. Where
water is applied early enough the charred
woodwork will remain in place and carry
weight. ;

If the architects allege that they specify
Southern pine because it is cheaper, it may be
pointed out that they obtain less material for
a thousand feet from the South than from
Canadian mills. For instance, Canadian mills
furnish flooring 7 x 3% in., while from the
south it is accepted 13/16 x 3% in.—a differ-
ence in quantity of 15 per cent., which in-
creases the price of Southern pine in compari-
son with white pine. Further, in the case of
joisting, Canadians are asked to furnish this
material when planed 17% in. thick, while
Southern mills furnish it 134 in. In dressed
timber there is almost a corresponding short-
age in the quantity of yellow pine supplied per
thousand feet.

It seems strange that Canadian architects
should use Southern pine so extensively, while
architects in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and other
states give white pine the preference, even at
much higher prices, on account of its better
fire-resisting qualities and greater durability.
It may be that arguments can be advanced in
favor of the use of yellow pine; if so, such
advantages should be of a very important
character to offset the greater inflammability of
the material.

tation of timber will become less troublesome
to lumbermen. The extension of our railroad
system will also enhance the value of standing
timber. The greater value of the German
forests may be attributed, in part at least, to
the somewhat extensive railroad system in
that country.

The past summer has witnessed the adap-
tion in Ontario of an entirely new method of
lumbering, the plan being one which should
commend itself, as it does away entirely with
winter logging. The saw mill is built on
wheels, so that it can be moved through the
bush to the timber supply. When the timber
for a distance of, say, 200 feet is cut out, the
mill is moved along to a new location and the
process repeated. The cost of laying the
track for transporting the mill is said to be
small when compared with the advantages
which the system possesses.

‘

DECISION AFFECTING FREIGHT RATES.

Early in November the Canadian Railway
Commissioners gave a decision in favor of the
British Columbia Lumber & Shingle Manufac-
turers’ Association in an action brought against
the Canadian Pacific Railway Company in
which it was alleged that the compaay had no
right to charge a higher freight rate on cedar
than on fir, spruce and hemlock lumber. The
Railway Company is ordered to desist from
making such discrimination.

As reported in our October issue, the C.P.R.
have been charging forty cents per hundred
pounds on fir, hemlock and spruce to Manitoba
points and fifty cents on cedar, such rates ap-
plying to the Pacific Coast mills. The interior
mills at the same time were given a preference
of seven cents over the Coast mills on fir lum-
ber, while the rate on cedar was seventeen
cents lower than was given to the Coast mills.
The British Columbia Lumber & Shingle Man-
ufacturers’ Association appealed to the Rail-
way Commission, and the Railway Company
endeavored to justify their action on the ground
that owing to the lighter weight of cedar, the
rate should be higher. Their explanation of
the differential accorded the interior’mills was
that they did not manufacture clear cedar and
were therefore at a disadvantage as compared
with the manufacturers on the coast. The
Commissioners decided that these arguments
were not sound, and in their judgment desig-
nate the excess rate on cedar lumber as an
unreasonable and excessive charge.

Subsequently the announcement is made
that the Canadian Pacific Railway have entered
a protest against the decision, basing their
action on the clause in their charter which
states that the railway shall not rduce its rates
until the netearnings shall exceed one per cent.
of the construction cost. The contention of
the Commissioners is that, while they may not
be able to interfere with the rates, they can pre-
vent discrimination. It is believed that the ques-
tion will eventually reach the Supreme Court.

The only lines on the American continent
charging a higher rate for one commodity used
for the same purpose as another are said to be
the Canadian Pacific, Great Northern, North-
ern Pacific and Union Pacific. Other roads
class as lumber all varieties of wood except

" Ta ee ‘Si > em ae red as7 en a wy) = \ Ld

high-class hardwoods. Considering the great
desire of the C.P.R. to improve the position of
the North-West farmer (if we may regard their
recent attitude as sincere), does it not seem
inconsistent to find them numbered among the
few railroads which are endeavoring to increase
the cost of his lumber supply ? Is not this the
same railroad whose management talked of
establishing saw mills for the sole object of
giving the farmer cheaper lumber ?

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The lumber industry of British Columbia is
now in a depressed condition as the result of
an abnormal expansion in mill building. The
present producing capacity is far in excess of
the demand, and unsettled conditions promise
to continue until the production is curtailed to
a reasonable limit. That there is a great future,
however, for coast lumbering is still every-
where admitted, and it is not too much to pre-
dict that before many years British Columbia
will produce more lumber than any other prov-
ince of the Dominion. Far-seeing capitalists
are even at the present time buying up the
timber limits, just as the white pine of Ontario
was acquired a few years ago. One of the
most recent transactions is the purchase of a
timber tract in the Toba Valley of British
Columbia by Messrs. B. A. Scott, F. F. Tillot-
son, D. L. Altland and Thomas Berry, of De-
troit. The stand of timber on this tract is
estimated at 600,000,000 feet, stfficient to
keep a mill running for many years.

The Board of the United States General Ap-
praisers have given a decision that, under the
present tariff law, fire-proofed lumber must be
assessed $2 per thousand feet as lumber, and
not 35 per cent. ad valorem as a manufacture
of wood. The testimony showed that the lum-
ber had first been steamed, that the sap had
been withdrawn and that a solution of sulphate
and phosphate of ammonia had been injected,
and that then it had been artificially dried.
The Appraisers held that the lumber was still
destined to be used as lumber, and that its
subjection to a fire-proofing process did not
change the purpose or use to which it would
be applied. As a precedent to the decision, a
previous case was cited in which the United
States Supreme Court held that lumber which
had been planed on one side and tongued and
grooved was not a manufacture of wood, for
its purpose and use remained the same.

LUMBER CAMP LIBRARIES.

A letter to the Minister of Education from
the Rat Portage Lumber Company, applying
for a travelling library for one of their lumber
camps, says in part: ‘‘ We find that the lib-
raries have been greatly appreciated, and we

wish to thank you for the interest you have.

taken in this matter. If you would allow us a
suggestion, however, we would say that a
considerable number of the books supplied
seem to be rather above the class of men in the
camps, and that a larger percentage of good,
up-to-date fiction would be very acceptable.
The men never seem to tire of reading stories
by Ralph Connor, Conan Doyle, Thwing,

Stuart White and Henty.”

BOX SHOOKS.

Mr. John B. Jackson, Commercial Agent at Leeds,
England, writes to the Department of Trade and Com-
merce, Ottawa, under date of November 1, as follows:

Box shooks are very much in demand in Hull, and I
have had various inquiries in regard to them. Box
boards are manufactured very cheaply there, and as
the freights from Hull to the Yorkshire points are very
reasonable, goods can be sent all over the United
Kingdom from there at prices that can more than com-
pete with local manufacturers in the various towns,
large quantities being sent daily to London, Liverpool,
Manchester, Newcastle, Bristol, Glasgow and other
principal towns, carriage paid from Hull.

SIZES AND PRICES,

The principal supply of shooks is from Norway,
Sweden and Russia, at from 20 cents to 30 cents per
cubic foot, manufactured, according to the thickness
and widths required, c.i.f. Liverpool, Manchester,
Newcastle and Hull. The following particulars of
usual sizes and prices per cubic foot c.i.f. Hull, Man-

\ 7) J
ECONOMICAL MANUFACTURE OF SMALL
LOGS.
Rasen yoy Ottawa, November 12th, 1904. disappeared.

_ ‘Editor CANADA LUMBERMAN :

; Dear S1rR,—The increasing scarcity of large timber
‘or logs that will average 12 inches or over is bringing
home to the manufacturers of lumber the necessity of
arranging their mills for a more economical method of
handling the increasing quantity of logs. which run
under rather than over 12 inches. Many firms are now
taking out logs, in lengths from 12 to 24 feet, that will
not scale over 1000 feet for every 25 logs.

- To economically manufacture such material into lam-
ber necessitates the rapid handling of a large number
of small pieces in order to make any kind of a satisfac-
tory showing. I would like to ask your numerous read-
ers their opinion as to the best method of handling such
material, Sane it into the following sizes of yey
viz., 5/8x3” to 9” wide ; 1’x3” to 9”; 2’ "3" tog” 5 3°x3"
to 9”, and 4’x4” to 6", and length from 6 feet up, spruce
or pine. I think the discussion of this question would
be of much intérest and value to the lumber trade at
large, and hope those interested will discuss the ques-
tion fully in your pages.
Yours truly,
I, N. KENDALI.

A COMPARISON OF POWER TRANSMISSION
SYSTEMS. - ’

i Toronto, Nov. rgth, 1904.
Editor CANADA LUMBERMAN :
_ Dear Sir,—-With your permission I will endeavor to
give a few perhaps interesting facts on power trans-
mission by rope. f
The question may be asked, what is the oldest
_ method of power transmission. Gearing is the oldest
_. method ; it is positive in its action, and is claimed to
operate with less loss of power. by friction than any
other method. But asa means of transmitting large
powers, this method is fast disappearing, for the tol-
lowing reasons :
. A failure of one part is almost sure to be fatal to the
4 whole. It is expensive in first cost as well as in erec-
fi tion and maintenance, and is very objectionable on ac-
count of noise, although in some cases it might be an
advantage, especially with small power.
. Belting comes next as a method of transmission, and
' ean be used to advantage where high speed 1s to be
obtained on account of its flexibility, or where it is
necessary to shift from a tight'to a loose pulley. ' But
it also is expensive in first cost, and when large power
is to be transmitted the great width necessary makes
A belt driving not only uselessly extravagant but also
_ difficult to install.
Then again, all belting requires perfect alignment
of shafting and has a large percentage of slip,

ee especially on cast iron pulleys, and as a result loss of
' power. I have personally seen cast iron pulleys be-
ary P y pulley

_- come so warm on account of the belt slipping that I

~~ could not hold my hand on the pulley. Hence belts
have to be made so taut to do the required amount of
work, that there would be a loss of power by friction
. _ in the bearings and sometimes cause heated bearings.
_. _Where this occurs it would be of advantage, if the pul-
_ leys would permit, to use lagging, as it isa well known
nal Ay fact that wood pulleys or pulleys lagged with wood
will actually give from 25 to 60 per cent. more power,
ahs af, being guaranteed to that extent, providing the same
' belt is used and with like tension of belt. Belting like
gearing is also noisy in operation and produces elec-
ist trical disturbances. ,
Electricity asa means of transmitting power has

gar
ae, tages are unexcelled. For example, a factory in Cali-
; fornia is driven from a power house 250 miles away.
But for ordinary, mill practice of to-day this method has
not reached a sufficient state of perfection or economy

in installation to justify the millmen in adopting it in
ae

__ place of belts or rope.

~~ . It is only within the last few years that the use of

ropes as a means of transmitting power has received
the general recognition of millmen. _ This system hav-
wre t: ing forced its way to its superiority as main drives, is
‘now superseding all others in new plants both in Can-

_ ada and the United States, and in some places is used

entirely throughout the factory. This is especially

bee ‘

bye as considerable merit and for long distances its advan- *

noticeable along the great lakes, where numerous
grain elevators are found, in which belting has entirely —
Below are some of the most prominent
advantages peculiar to rope driving and which engin-
eers and millrights are taking note of.

First.—The distance and direction in which power
can be transmitted is practically unlimited. In one ot
Hawkins’ books on Mechanical Engineering the follow-
ing table is given comparing the four greatest powers
of transmission, namely: Electricity, Air (pneumatic),
Water (Hydraulic), and Rope.

Distance of Trans- Elec- Hydrau-' Pneu-
mission in feet. tricity. lic. matic. Rope.
300 69 -50 55 '.96
1,500 68 +50 °55 -93
3,000 .66 +50 °55 +90
15,000 -60 «40 +50 -60
30,000 51 +35 +50 36
60,000 +32 +20 +40 eg

Hence it is seen that rope is more effective up to
about three miles, beyond which electricity and pneu-
matic powers are more effective. -

Satisfactory. driving may be done where the distance
between shafting is as great as 175 feet without the aid
of carrier pulleys. With carrier pulleys the distance
may be prolonged indefinitely. ‘On the other hand,
successful. driving can be done with ropes where the
shafts are close together. There are now in operation
many drives where the shafts are but 10 feet apart.

Second.—The amount of power that can be trans-
mitted with rope is also practically unlimited ; for in-
stance, there are several drives in the United States
which are transmitting from 3,000 to 4,000 horse pow-
er, of which I might mention the rod mill drives of
the Sharon Steel Company, which is by multiple sys-
tem ; 60 ropes 2 inches in diameter are used.

Third.—Economy in first cost and maintenance. In
drives of 200 h. p. and upwards and where the shafts
are from 20 to 30 feet apart, the cost as compared with
belt drives will vary from 10 to 30 per cent., according
to the distance and size of drive. This advantage in-
creases rapidly as the distance apart of shafis and
amount of power to be transmitted increases.

Fourth.—Small cost’ and maintenance of a rope
drive is a strong point in its favor. The average life
of a rope on a properly constructed drive is from five
to ten years, providing that the rope is running free
from obstructions and the speed of the rope is not more
than about 4,500 to 5,000 feet per minute, and in that
time all the care that it needs is proper splicing, which
is a simple thing when once the idea is grasped.

Fifth.—Economy of space. The width of rim space
required is from one-half to two-thirds that of belting,
varying with the size of rope used. It is also positive
power where the angle of the grooves are 45 degrees ;
also when calculating for speed no allowance need be
made for slipping of rope as is usually the case with
belting. Further, it is steady running and absolutely
noiseless, due to the flexibility of the rope and the air
passage in the bottom of the groove, which usually is
9-16 of an inch, This holds good for large drives as
well as small ones, notwithstanding that horse power is
being transmitted in thousands and the ropes may be
running a mile a. minute. Another great advantage
when wishing to convey power to a number of floors
is that the full number of ropes start from the driving
pulley, while the number for each shaft are easily drop-

ped off at each floor.

Sixth.—The great advantage in future addition of
power. This may be readily done by installing pulleys
with extra sheaves, and when more power is wanted
more rope is added, filling up the extra sheaves, where
if it were belting, you would have to get a new belt
because it would not be possible to eee a piece on
the side of the belt.

There are two distinct systems of rope drives, name-
ly, the multiple or English system, and the continuous
or American system. The multiple system is the
simplest, consisting of a number of independent ropes
running side by side in the grooves of the pulley. It is
claimed by some authorities that the life of the rope is
longer on the multiple system on account of the rope
always bending in the one direction, but I think this is
doubtful.

In the continuous system one rope is wound around
the driving and driven pulleys several times, the num-
ber of laps being according to the amount of power

required. With this system it is nedestary, by ‘some. ih

means or other to conduct the rope from an outside _ i
groove of the driver to. the opposite outside of the driven.
This is done by means of a travelling tension carriage ys
whose duty is to do this as well as to secure a uni-
form tension throughout the rope. It is so arranged
as to travel back and forth automatically, regulating
the slack of the rope which occurs from the stretch in
the rope, also itrepalarities of load. This should be so
arranged as to take the slack where it accumulates,
which is on the slack side of drive just off the driven
pulley.
In the second way, where it is not convenient to take
slack directly from the driving pulley, the same result
may be obtained by taking it from the driven, the rope
being led from an outside groove, which is a loose or —
independent sheave to the tension sheave, and thence
returned to the opposite outside groove of the driven Ms:
pulley. I think that splicing a rope is much easier ac-
complished than splicing a belt, being done in less
time and requiring less tools. The proper splice is”
called a transmission splice, varying in length accord-
ing to the size of rope used. One engineer has sai
that 95 per cent. of troubles in rope driving are due ee ho:
bad splicing. tere.
Much more could be said about rope driving, ‘bat. are
time and space are limited. Thanking you, = Ec ry

FORESTRY DEPARTMENT

CANADIAN FORESTRY ASSOCIATION.

At a recent meeting of the Board of Direc-
tors of the Canadian Forestry Association,
final arrangements were made for the publica-
tion of a forestry journal in the interests of the
Association and for the advancement of the
forestry movement generally. Dr. Wm.
Saunders, Professor John Macoun and Mr. E.
Stewart were appointed an Editorial Commit-
tee and Mr. R. H. Campbell as Editor and
Business Manager. The new journal will in-
clude scientific and descriptive articles relating
to the Canadian forests and their management,
forest administration in other countries, the
planting and care of trees and such other re-
lated subjects as are of public interest. The
aim will be to present the subjects in.a popular
style, so that it may appeal to the general pub-
lic as well as to the scientific student. The
number and standing of the contributors al-
ready secured give promise that the character
of the magazine will do full credit to the Asso-
ciation and worthily represent forestry interests.
The Association has steadily developed since
its organization in 1900 and has now a mem-
betship of about six hundred, representing all
parts of the Dominion and including also a
number of foreign countries. One of the most

CURRENT TRADE CONDITIONS.

ONTARIO.

The close of the month of November
finds the lumber trade of this province in
a healthy condition. There is a season-
able volume ot white pine moving from
the yards to consumers, as the weather
has been favorable for outdoor work. This
is not the season when the demand is like-
ly to increase,as there is always a disposi-
tion to curtail obligations towards the
close of the year. Manufacturers are re-
ceiving a number of inquiries from United
States dealers, but many of these are
believed to be for the purpose of ascer-
taining the feeling of the trade as to prices
rather than with a view to placing orders.
The ready buyer has no difficulty in find-
ing plenty of pine lumber of the common
and higher grades, but mill culls and box
are less plentiful. Notwithstanding that
these latter grades have declined but
little in comparison with the better quali-
ties, they are likely, if present indications
count for anything, to be the first to be
advanced in price.

The lath situation has become interest-

ing. *No. 1 pine has been bought up quite
heavily and there is very little in the
hands of manufacturers. The mill price
in Western Ontario is now about $2.70,
and predictions have been made that this
figure will appear very low when compar-
ed with the price which is likely to be
reached before next spring.

QUEBEC AND NEW BRUNSWICK.

While the spruce lumber market is quiet,
the tone continues strong when compared
with the conditions which prevailed dur-
ing the summer months. There is a good
demand for specifications suitable for the
American market, where certain kinds of
narrow dimension stuff are commanding a
premium. Clapboards, which have been
dragging all season, are now holding
their own a little better, and it would not
take a very active buying movement to
advance prices.

New Brunswick cedar shingles are
gradually getting into a stronger posi-
tion. The product is sold up pretty close
to the saws on every grade except Ex-
tras, which are now firm at $3.20 to
$3.25 for Boston delivery. Clears are
very scarce and easily bring $2.80. Itis
estimated that the cut of the winter mills
will be below the average and the tenden=
cy of prices during the next three months
should be towards a higher basis.

UNITED STATES.

A moderate degree of strength contin
ues to pervade the lumber market of the
United States. Last week the Mississip-
pi Valley Lumbermen’s Association adopt-
ed a new price list making an advance
on several items, including piece stuff and
timbers, No. 1, No. 2 and No. 4 boards
and lath. The quantity of lumber on hand
is comparatively small, notwithstanding
that the season has been favorable for
manufacturing. The bulk of the white
pine lumber is now in the hands of whole-
sale dealers, and they are not likely to
make any price concessions. The East-
ern States retail dealers are stocking up ;
in some quantity. Box grades continue
to have the call, while shop and better is
reported slow. At Buffalo and Tona-
wanda prices are slightly irregular, the
entire range of the leading grades of pine
being given as follows: Uppers, $80 to
$90 ; selects, $68 to $85; fine common,
$53 to $80 ; No. 1 cuts, $38 to $72; No. 2
cuts, $25 to $55 ; No. 3 cuts, $21 to $27 ;
No. 1 mouldings, $50 to $52 ; No. 1 dress-
ing, $28 to $45; No. 1 barn, $24.50 to $33;
No. 2 barn,$21 to $27 ; No. 3 barn, $18 to
$24 ; box, $16 to $25 ; No. 2 box, $17.

The price of spruce frames are stronger
and only a few mills are selling as low as
the list, which is $19 for 9 inch and under

Il.

and $21 for over. Random is still offering
at Boston at $17 for 2x3 to 2x7, and
$18 for 2x 8andg9. Hardwoods are not
much changed since’ last writing. Bass-
wood is moving a little more freely, but
prices are still easy. Birch is in good re-
quest.
GREAT BRITAIN.

Confidence in the British lumber mar-
ket is gradually being restored. Business
is improving and prices in most instances
are hardening. Dealers who have held
off huvine are coming to the conclusion
that they allowed their opportunity to pass
and are now coming into the market at
current prices. The improvement is very
gradual, as might be expected, but before
next spring there is likely to be a con-
siderable advance in most lines. Spruce
prices are firm at about £6 15s. per stand-
ard for St. The results at
the late auction sales have been more
satisfactory. A quantity of 3 x 9 first,
second and third quality Wolfe River
spruce, in long lengths, brought £8 Ios.
per standard and some 3 x 8 unassorted
Quebec regulars £7 10s., 2% x 7 from
the same port bringing £7 15s. Hard-
wood planks and deals sold at £7 10s.,
which is considered an excellent result
and due to the small hand.
Shippers should remember that this is a

prices are largely controlled by the seller.
The supply of lath at the Lake Superior

mills, throughout Michigan and in the
Georgian Bay district has almost entirely

passed out of first hands. Commenting
on the situation, the American Lumber-
man says:

All the manufacturers along the lakes
have sold out their stocks of lath. The
wholesale and retail dealers now have all
the lath in sight and they hold but a small
percentage” of the) demand. Inj'such a
situation where is{the supply to come from
for the residue of the season? and where
are the stocks for the late winter and ear-
ly spring trade ?

Prices_of lath are now a consideration
of less importance than is the ability to
obtain Jath at all. Holders of what lath
there are can about make their own prices
and the response will be prompt.

The interesting question arises, What
has caused this season’s scarcity of lath in
the Michigan markets as well as in the
entire middle west and eastward ? Un-
doubtedly the decline. of northern pine
manufacture and the demand for box and
crating lumber which has induced the use
of as much of the log as possible for such
purposes. To these causes must be added
the extraordinary consumption of lath this
year as a result of extensive building
operations.

As the production of strictly white pine,
as distinct from norway pine, diminishes,
white pine lath become also a diminishing
quantity. This shrinkage in volume is ac-
centuated by economies in manufacture,
which results in the use of all possible
material in the log for purposes other than
conversion into lath. Time was when the
log was literally slabbed and the slabs

were converted into lath to a large ex_
Now the slabs are made as thin as

tent.

possible and these slabs are eeaawed tut "
box and crate stuff, or into any form that a
renders it usable. This reduces the per- ;
centage of lath that results from the con-
version of the log. What is true ot white
pine is equally so of norway. Hemlock
production has increased within recent
years, and hemlock lath are in high favor
wherever their merit is known. But there
are wide sections in the prairie states in
which hemlock lath are in disfavor simply
because consumers are unused to them.
Prices of good hemlock lath are about on
a par with those of white pine. The pro-
duction of hemlock lath has not yet at-
tained sufficient magnitude to make good _
for the decline in the output of pine lath, —
nor is it likely to. '
It should be observed that the scarcity 4
of lath has arisen in the face of the use of 23
a variety of metal and other kinds of lath. a
For ordinary building purposes nothing —
seems to have displaced the lath that is — pt f,
turned out by the saw mills. This is be- —
cause wood lath is the cheapest ceiling
material that can be found, no matter how
high prices may go. So it seems that so
long as the saw mills shall run and their |
lath machine adjuncts shall continue in—
operation there will be a demand fort their ‘y, 4
product, even at prices that would have — f
been deemed excessive a few years ago.
In view of the fact that lath stocks this D: :
fall are about cleaned up, and stocks dur” =a
ing the winter cannot much atcumulate, —
it looks as if the lucky holder of good sup- —
plies at present stands to make a —o-
profit on them.

ROCK ELM PRICES.
TORONTO, November 29, 1904.
Editor CanaDA LUMBERMAN :
DEAR Sir,—In your issue of November
16th, referring to trade in Great Britain,
you state, *‘ Of the hardwoods Rock Elm

. is particularly strong. The stock is light

and it has been found comparatively easy
to advance prices, which ‘now stand at
3s. 6d. to 3s. 7d. per cubic foot.”

We are afraid that this will give mil]
men the idea that this can be obtained for
the ordinary run of stock, whereas we find
it difficult to secure more than $50.00 for
Ists and 2nds. Of course, we can readily
understand that you refer to Rock Elm
timber in long lengths.

Yours truly,
C. S. PowELL & Co.

LOGGING CONDITIONS IN NEW
BRUNSWICK.

The fall rains on the Upper St. John
river have worked against the lumbermen
in their operations. They have made
heavy muddy: roads and the hauling of
supplies has been done with difficulty and
attended with unusual expense. The
ground, however, is now frozen and cov-
ered with about two inches of snow, and
the work is going along easily and more
satistactorily. The cut this year, as stated
in an earlier issue, will not be more than
one-half of that of last season. On the
Upper St. John John Kilburn, for in-
stance, will not get out more than 2;000,-
000 feet of spruce ; John Morrison will cut
3,000,000 of cedar ; W. J. Noble will take
Out 6,000,000 to 7,000,000 for Cushing ;
Cunliffe will cut 5,000,000 for W. H. Mur-
ray on the Allegash. ~The Scott Bros.
will take about 9,000,000 from the St.
John. Four millions of this are J. Mc-
Connell’s old logs now on the yards onthe
Wildcat, where they will cut another mil-
lion and a half; 1,600,000 will come from
the New Brunswick Railway Co.’s lands
and 60c,o00 from lands some miles above
the city ; the balance trom other districts
along the St. John. On the Magaguadavic
Scott Bros. will cut a million, bringing
the total operations for the season up to
10,000,000.

On the Allegash the work will be pushed
along with activity. On this section the
cut will be proportionately larger than in
other districts of the St. John area, the

BRITISH COLUMBIA LETTER.
{Correspondence of the CANADA LUMBERMAR.

VANCOUVER, B. C., November 2ist,
1904.—Lumbermen in Vancouver are more
hopeful in regard to conditions than they
have been. The trade with the North-
west Territories has been better than was
expected, and since the American mills
have got rid of most of their surplus stock
the dumping at slaughter prices may not
continue much longer. Still there are
evidences of depression, and the fourth of
the smaller mills isin the hands of the
sheriff for the satisfaction of creditors.
Were conditions good, thes e could have
pulled through.

There is talk of the federal member for
Vancouver moving for the appointment of
a commission to enquire into the condi-
tions affecting the lumber industry in
British Columbia. Anyway, hehas prom-
ised to continue the fight for a duty of $2
per thousand feet of lumber imported from
the United States.

American manufacturers dislike to ac-
knowledge that British Columbia shingles
are better in quality than those manufac-
tured south of the line, and even state
there is no foundation to such a statement.
Notwithstanding, Mr. H. S. Stine, repre-
senting Barnes & Mauk, of Toledo, Ohio,
who was in the city recently and who

CANADA LUMBERMAN WEEKLY EDITION

spent ten days investigating the shingle in-
dustry of the, province, contracted for the
output of two mills, besides securing a lot
for immediate delivery. He said the tim-
ber was better, and while the shingles
might not be better sawed, they were-
better packed. i

Local millmen are strongly of the opin-
ion now that price slashing. should be
stopped, and there is talk ofa new price
list being issued early in January. Twen-
ty-five per cent. off the list price is the dis-
count now obtaining, instead of 10 per
cent. as formerly, and it is stated that in
instances it is even lower. The owners
of shingle mills are considering the adop-
tion of some plan for their: common~ wel-
fare, the market in that line suffering from
over-production. j

Logs are beginning to get dearer, the

figures having advanced from $3.50 to $5

per thousand to $5 to $8 per thousand.
The small logger may again do business,
and those who bought up large quantities
some time ago will realize.

There is talk locally of Japanese capital
being interested by Japaese for the
manufacture of lumber. for export to Corea
and Manchuria as soon as the war is over. .
The market will bea virgin one, and the
Japanese think they are ina better posi-
tion than anyone else to engage in the

trade. They do not think the depression

will affect them.

FIRST PAPER MILL IN ONTARIO.

’ Mr. V. H. Hickox, of Niagara Falls, tells of

the first paper mill in Ontario. He says :—
“It was in the summer of 1841 that my father
and another paper maker, whose name was
Samuel Prine, engaged to go to Toronto and
start the first paper mill in Upper Canada.
They left Niagara Fallsin June of that year.

_ This mill was located about three miles from

‘the city, up the River Don, a beautiful clear

_ stream of water, well supplied with trout and

other kinds of fish in abundance. The country
round about was a vast wilderness of heavy
timber, mostly pine, with here and therea little
clearing with log cabin homes of the early
pioneers.

“*Eastwood and Skinner, brothers-in-law, two
enterprising Englishmen, built the first mill and
received a cash premium from the Canadian
Government. In connection with the paper
‘mill there was a grist mill, a brewery and dis-
tillery, owned by the Helliwell Brothers, and
the place was named Don Mills.

‘‘My father madea sojourn of seven years,
during which time he started a second paper
mill on the Don River, two miles above the
first mill. We moved to Hamburg, west of
Buffalo, about 1848. In the year 1851 Albert
H. Porter sold the paper mill on Bath Island,
and my father, by this change, secured his old
position as superintendent of the upper Don
paper mills. Then he moved back to Toronto
in 1851, where he remained for many years, re-
spected as the man who made the first sheet of
paper in the upper province of Canada.”

BLEACHING GROUND WOOD.

The yellowish color of ground wood fibres
varies according to the quality of the wood
‘and purity of water in mixture of reddish,
brownish and gray shades; but these conditions
were of small significance so long as ground
wood was only used in small proportions with

Fabrikant.

An addition of a red or blue aniline color or
a violet will present the impression of a white
shade to the unexercised eye, while in fact the
shade is really reddish or greenish.
parison of news and mixed book stock with
bleached writing or with white linen or cotton
stock will readily tend to prove the great dif-
ference in the shade of snow white and ground
wood white.

During late years advancing prices have
caused a cut in the manufacturing profits and
developed a natural desire to economize by in-
troducing the cheaper grades of raw materials
on a more extended scale for the making of
the grades above news, such as the medium

a disturbing feature, and there arose the neces-
sity of overcoming the well known difficulties
in the bleaching of ground wood. Many pro-
cesses have been gradually ‘‘invented,” but
they proved costly, troublesome and without
adequate result.

As a means for at least improving the shade
of ground wood, sulphurous acid alone, in. its
diluted form or in bisulphite of sodium or bi-
sulphurous sodium, has proved of economical
usefulness.

The idea of imparting a white shade to
ground wood was derived from the old process
of bleaching straw pulp, known before wood
pulp was ground. The bleaching process may
be briefly described as follows: Sulphur is
burned in an oven for producing a sulphurous
gas, the SOz, the same that is used in the
boiling of sulphite pulp in the known digesters
(in its combination with lime forming calcium
bisulphite). The SO2 gas is introduced through
Suitable channels into, or rather under, the
lower part of a tank provided with a per.
forated bottom, and also with slowly moving
agitator blades, that tend to keep the gradual-
ly introduced parts of loose ground wood mov-
ing over the perforated inlets for the gas. An
aperture is provided to allow the agitator arms
to discharge the product, which is collected in
a pile or in bags, where its color gradually
improves. Experience must teach the time
required for producing the best results. Natur-
ally the tank must be closed and provided with
an outlet for the gas into the higher regions
out of harm’s reach.

In case the pulp is to be bleached in the
shape of loose rolls, a well closed compart-
ment, perfectly constructed of brick or stone,
provided with openings for ingress and exit of
hands, gas and ventilation, may be the most
advisable.. In order to prevent the effect of
the noxious gases any small opening should
be temporarily hermetically closed by pasting
strips of paper over the same. (The rolls of
pulp should be placed separately on strips of
wood to allow the passage of the gases be-
tween the surface of the web and to proceed
upwardly into the open air.

Another process for bleaching wood pulp by
the influence of sulphurous acid is performed
by soaking the stuff with solutions of bisul-
phite of sodium in large tanks and also in this
case the rolls should be separately placed on
end to allow the solution to pass between the
layers.

The quantity of bleach required depends
largely on the quality, age and other condi-
tions of the wood, and it is therefore advisable
to make several trials in order to reach the
desired object. Every contact of iron with the
solution, producing a black discoloration, must
be carefully avoided. The last described pro-

cess is the more expensive and causes addition-
al labor. The weight should be ascertained
before bleaching. in the flatter
process the appearance of free™acid is entirely
avoided.

PULP NOTES.

The Chatham Pulp & Paper Company, Limited, of
Lachute Mills, Que., has been incorporated.

The Paper Trade Journal says that Francis H. Cler-

-gue and other capitalists, some of whom are residents

of Detroit, are planning to erect one of the] biggest
paper mills in the country a few miles below Sault Ste.
Marie, Mich.

The Imperial Paper Mills Company, of Sturgeon
Falls, Ont., are building a new wood room much larger
than the one recently destroyed by fire. The boiler

room has been enlarged to accommodate another hori-
zontal tubular boiler.

The Newfoundland Timber Estates Company are
announced to have disposed of their timber areas in
Newfoundland to Sir Alfred Harmsworth, the well-
known publisher of London, England.
given as $2,000,000.

The price is

Mr. Charles W. Rantoul, jt., formerly with the Im-
perial Paper Mills, of Sturgeon Falls, Ont., has opened
an office at 41 Park Row, New York, under the name
of the C. W. Rantoul Company, Incorporated. The
company will act as a selling agency for paper mills.

The members of the survey party sent out by. the
Quatsino Power & Pulp Company, of Vancouver, B.C.,
have completed their work for the séason. The party
numbered thirty-six. The investigations made prove
that the company have valuable timber areas. The
water power available has been estimated by Mr.
Colby, of Boston, at 14,000 horse power, which will
permit the company to operate on a large scale.
The pulp mill have been completed and plans for
the paper mill are being prepared. The construc-
tion of pulp mill and a saw mill will be commenced
in January next.

The Nassau Paper & Pulp Company, of East
Peperell, Mass., are reported to have purchased the
pulp mill at Chatham, N.B., formerly operated by the
Maritime Sulphite Fibre Company, but which has re-
cently been in the hands of the Bank of Montreal.
The purchasers will manufacture sulphite pulp for their
mill at East Peperell. Contracts are now being placed
for the cutting of pulp wood during the coming ‘winter
and the citizens of Chatham are looking forward with

anxiety to the time when the mill will resume Opera-
tions.

Large quantities of spruce and poplar are being
forwarded to American mills from points in the Pontiac.
and Gatineau districts above Ottawa. This season
the firm of McFarlane Bros., of Campbell’s Bay, ship-
ped 2,000 cords, This winter they expect to contract
with jobbers for the cutting of 7,000 cords, mostly pop-
lar and basswood. Next year it is expected that the
Canadian Pacific Railway Company will build an ex-
tension in the Pontiac country, which will make mar-
ketable large areas of poplar and basswood suitable
for pulp making.

F. H. Todd & Sons, of St. Stephen, N. B., are said
to have completed arrangements with New York capi-
talists for the establishment of large pulp and paper
mills on the St. Croix river. They have disposed of
their timber holdings to the St. Croix Pulp & Paper
Company, recently organized, with a capital of
$2,500,000 and headquarters at Calais, Maine. Frank
Todd is president of the new company, and I. B. Hos-
ford vice-president and general manager. The com-
pany will require only the spruce growth upon their
area, and Todd & Sons have secured the first
option on the pine timber, a provision which will enable
them to operate their saw mills as at present.

public, was a visitor to Canada last month. His firm
are large importers of spruce lumber and the object of
his visit was to investigate the lumber industry ,with

reference to the methods of manufacture, extent of

supply and shipping facilities. _Mr. Remonda visited
the white pine and spruce districts and is said to have
purchased considerable lumber. He remarked that
the Canadian lumbermen did not give as much atten-
tion to the details of manufacture as did the Norwegians
and Swedes, with the result that their lumber was less
perfectly manufactured.

BAND SAW CRACKS.

Having noticed inquiries as to the cause of

both edge and center cracks, I will tell how I
steer clear of them. Five years ago, where I
am at present employed, edge and center
cracks were an every day occurrence. The
firm sent to New York City for an expert to
locate the trouble. After looking the machine,
saws and filing room equipment over, he told
them what they wanted was a filer. When I
came they had four saws, two of which -had
not been run for some time. They were full
of center cracks from 1-8 inch to 3{-inch long,
and saws not worn down ¥Y-inch yet. The
other two saws were practically new, but there
were two Lrazes in one saw and four in the
other,
The first thing was to overhaul the machine
and line up the wheels. I did not tip the
upper wheel, as some filers do, : but left it
plumb with lower wheel. I think it bad
practice to do so, and will try to make my
reason clear. What is the sense of running a
long-back saw and tipping upper wheel for-
ward to take up the extra length in saw?
There is nothing gained by that. You might
better run a straight-back and leave the upper
wheel alone. It takes some stretching to put
the back in a saw, and if you tip upper wheel
forward, the tooth edge of saw, while in the
cut, will be the longer, which is the reverse of
what you want to cut straight lumber. I al-
ways put up my saws with 1-8 inch back in
12 feet.

The next thing was the guide blocks. They
were made of soft brass, and by the looks of
the saws it seemed as if the sawyer had tried
to hold the saws in the cut with the guides, as
the saws were brass-plated where they run
through the guides, and consequently crystal-
lized. I substituted maple, not having lignum-
vite2 on hand. I always have an extra set: of

your next order, and give us a chance to demonstrate our ability to give you satis- —

faction in this very important department of your business,

guide blocks soaking in oil, and don’t use dry
end wood, as some filers do. |

The next operation was to get the saws in
shape to cut lumber. Looking them over, I
found the’saws with the center cracks had the
least tension and the edge-cracked saws the
most. Some filers blame all center cracks to
too much tension. Admitting it, yet I have
seen saws run with so much tension that when
lying on the bench they were all wavy, yet they
did not center crack. My opinion is that more
Saws are center cracked from rubbing on the
guides and having cross lumps in them than
from any other causes.

I prick-punched all the cracks I could find
and fitted the saws up as explained in a pre-
vious number of The Wood-Worker, then took
off 600 pounds of straining weight, and was
ready to makearun. I started the machine
and watched all boxes, letting machine run
light fora few minutes. Everything seemed
right excepta little vibration of machine, as
there was no foundation under it, no is there
yet. There was about 10,000 feet of white
pine to be resawed, and after I got started
sawing there wasn’t a man about the place
that did not come in to rubber, as I was feed-
ing 105 feet of 1x12 pine. Getting another
man to help take away, I finished the run,
then looked over the saw and found 1 had a
few new center cracks, but I expected that, as
a saw that is crystallized will keep on cracking ;
the only way to stopit is to send it back to
the factory and have it retempered. I made
those saws go until I go four new ones. Since
then the machine has made its two runs every
working day andI have had but two cracks,
and those in the braze. I attribute my success
to never slighting my work and keeping my
saws as nearly perfect as it is possible to” have
them.

guides, but use wood well soaked in oil.
Don’t try to make the guides make up for poor
saw filing, as a saw that is poorly put up won’t x ag
stay in the cut, no matter how close the guides
may be. Have the tension as even as possible, _—
as a little tension evenly distributed is better bi
than a lot unevenly put in. See that there are
no ‘‘round-corners” on the teeth. See that
the box nearest lower wheel fits snugly, as
any jump there will cracka saw every time.
And, above all, don’t have any cross-bars in
your saws ; they are easily found by wiping
the saw with kerosene oil and drawing straight- ‘
edge from tooth edge to back edge ; every one _
will be marked. Take them out with long- .
face hammer. Don’t try how quickly you can
put up a saw, but how well. Go over your
saws often ; don’t wait until they begin to
dodge. yf
Use little clearance; a saw with little. sot =x
will stand up better, cut smoother and use less _

power. Don’t use the tilting device at all,
and if you use the crossline, be careful; when <
you use that you are running your saw in a

twist, and that is something to be avoided. I
use neither crossline nor tilt, but put up all
my saws alike, and when they begin to crowd
back, Isharpen again. There are lots of saws
broken by trying to make them cut five hours,
whereas three would be better. I have found”
that saws will become crystallized on the back
edge by bearing on the sharpener rest while
sharpening, but that can be removed by _hold-
ing a piece of emery wheel at back of saw —
while running.—John Holland, in The Wood- >

VARIETY TURNING AND BORING LATHE.
The illustration herewith represents the No. o Variety

turning and boring lathe manufactured by the Defiance

Machine Works, of Defiance, Ohio, for producing

turned articles from wood. It is arranged to meet the

most exacting requirements and will produce turned
work sharp, clean and smooth, in either plain or bead-
ed turning, and do the work so that no hand labor is

réquited after leaving the machine. The material from
which the work is turned is placed into the machine in

1 is converted into the finished

short or long pieces, and is
article, bored, turned, polished and cut off complete
réady for use.

The frame of this machine is cast in one piece with

éored centre and a broad floor base to stand firm. The
top is accurately planed and scraped to bearing for the
working parts.

The head spindle, of steel, runs in large bronze self-
lubricating bearings, and it is driven by a three-step
cone pulley, giving three changes of speed for small or
large work. The front end of the spindle is fitted with
4 screw chuck to hold one end of material to be tuined,
the other] end turning) in the roughing head bush.

The cutterhead carriage is thoroughly gibbed to the
top of the frame of the machine, and is provided with a
horizontal movement by hand-wheel to move the cutters

to where the turning shall begin. It also has a right
angular movement by hand lever, to move the finishing
knife to the work.

The roughing cutter is attached to the carriage im-

mediately in advance of the finishing knife. It reduces
the square material to the smallest diameter to which
it will nicely finish. The cut-off attachment is also fitted
to the carriage and travels with it. It stands in a ver-
tical plane and is brought down to its work by a con-

venient hand-lever.

The tail stock is gibbed and accurately fitted to the
top of the frame, central with the head spindle. It is
fitted with a large spindle to carry a boring bit to bore
holes of different sizes. When work is intended to be
bored, the boring is performed before the turning is
accomplished, leaving the boring bit in the hole while

turning, it acting 2s a steady rest. For doing work

that requires no boring, a cup center is used in place
of the bit. The tail spindle is brought up to or from its
work by a convenient hand-wheel.

In operating this machine, the square material to be
turned is placed into the chuck while the machine is in
motion. No stoppage is necessary either to place in
the rough material, or to take out the finished product.
The material is first roughed by sliding the carriage
forward, in a horizontal plane a sufficient distance to
suit the length of the article to be turned. The boring
is then performed, after which the finishing knife is
brought up to the work, which is shaped complete at
one movement. The cut-off knife is then brought down
by hand lever and the finished product is discharged
from the machine, and so the work is continued until
the material in the lathe is entirely consumed.

The capacity of this machine is sufficient to produce
from 5,000 to 8,000 pieces per day,’ depending upon
the size and shape of work and the quickness of the
operator. It will turn irregular work eight inches
long and shorter, but plain round work, such as rollers,
pins, etc., can be turned up to 36” long, and from 1%”
to 3” diameter.

GENTLEMEN,—It is with great pleasure we testify as to the practical value of vour
Cylinder and Engine Oils, also your compounded greases, as your goods have cer-
tainly been a surprise to us.

We adopted your system of lubricating at our mills and on our boats at French

_ . River for the season of 1904 and on comparing this year’s accounts to date we find

you have reduced our oil and grease account to one half what it has been in firmer

_ years, and this in the face of additional machinery recently installed and the output

of our mills having been greatly increased.

Not once during the whole season have we been troubled with a hot journal, our
first experience of this sort in years. ,

We have one man only to do the oiling for our entire plant and he aprears to have
an easy time. a

So long as you continue to supply us with goods equal to what we have had from
you this season, you can depend upon receiving all of our trade in this line.

Yeu are at liberty to make use of this letter in whatever way you wish, as we

really feel grateful for what you have done for us at ovr mills.

Yours truly,
THE ONTARIO LUMBER Co., Limited.

Mr. J. A. CRAIG:

Dear Sir, or to whom it may concern,—I have been using your cylinder oil on our
600 horse Corliss Engine in our saw-mill as a test for the last three weeks and I can
honestly say I can run on less oil than half and with better results than with any
other oil I have ever tried, in fact the metal is so soft in this engine no kind of
cylinder oil (Vacuum included) we could buy in Canada would do. The only oil we
could use was Harris Oil imported from Boston, U.S. A.

The longest a one gallon lubricator of Harris Oil would run was seven hours, while
your cylinder oil would run twenty-one hours with better results, I tried the oils
in our other big Corliss with even better results, and as lcng as you compound vour
cylinder oils and have them as good as samples I shall use no other. %

Your compression cup grease is excellent and your pure fat for enriching mineral
oils makes everything run safe. I therefore highly recommend them.

Yours truly,

If you have a saw mill in connection with your plant
and you use the slabs as fuel, they can be dried easier
or quicker if piled with the round or bark side down.

Moisture follows the grain of the wood and drains out
at once when piled this way. A gum slab piled round
side down will rot out in a short time, even under
cover, as the moisture is retained in the slab, the ends
drying and closing the pores of the wood. On the
other hand, when firing slabs under a boiler, they

installed in our saw mill in 1903 has proved very satisfactory. It has been
running steadily five months each sawing season of 1903 and 1904 and has
given us no trouble whatever. We drive with it a large rotary, lath mill,
patent haul-up, complete sawdust conveyor throughout the mill, live rolls,
irimmers, slab saws and planers. We do not have to develop its full power
to do this work. The governor is very sensitive, there being only a variation
of 3 per cent. when saw is running in and out of cut. We use steam feed to
drive our rotary and put through the mill 750 to 800 logs per day.”

AULLAN'S TANDEM GIRGULAR SAW MILL”

‘The attention of Manufacturers of Lumber is
called to the above named latest and best
method of sawing lumber.

The following advantages are obtained:

Lower cost of installation than any other
method which will saw an equal number of
superficial feet in a given length of time.

Smaller expense in operation, thus producing
lumber at a lower cost per thousand feet than
any other method.

Requires no more help to operate it than any
well equipped Circular Saw Mill.

Lumber has been sawn better and more accur-
ately cut by this method than by any other now
ip use.

The Killam Tandem Circular Mill requires no
more skilled men to operate it than is required
to operate the ordinary Circular Mill.

fy to the value of your "Pagclentt Circular Saw Mill

If solid saws are used, the larger one, when
worn down can be used for the smaller one
thus saving expense for saws.

No difficulties in handling or setting by this
machine and no Celays. .

No time is lost in setting for any thickness
from the cut of stationary sawuptosixinches. —

This machine takes the place of a resaw in a@
mill and only requires a floor space of 6ft.x6ft.

Also takes the place ofa Twin Circular Mill

Will cut 50 per cent. more lumber an thet

Is the most powerful wheel on the market to-day. A glance at
this cut of the centre shows that the buckets are designed to
secure the maximum of speed with great power and a free
discharge. Mr. E. S. Edmondson, of Oshawa, writes as fol-
lows under date of November 16th, 1903, regarding a 26 inch
Vertical Triumph Wheel :

‘The Wheel is strictly first-class in every particular,
and after a careful and thorough test I am prepared to say
that I believe it is the best wheel in the market for Elec-
trical purposes. It has high speed, large power, high eff-
ciency at part gate, and has practically no leakage. I am
more than pleased with the thorough and workmanlike
setting you gave me throughout.”

For horizontal settings in large Pulp Mills, Cement Mills or Electric Power Develop-
ments this Wheel has no equal. We invite your enquiries. Large catalogue to

be had for the asking.

We are always glad to submit estimates and prices on Improved Vulean and Leffel
